# **SEXTANT SECURITIES, LLC NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

### **JUNE 30, 2022**

#### NOTE I. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

Sextant Securities, LLC (the "Company") is a broker dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") formed for the purpose of providing broker dealer services including financial advisory services, mergers and acquisition services and to engage in private placement of securities and similar services.

#### NOTE2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

# Basis oilr\_esentation

These financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

### Accounts Receivable

Account receivable are stated at cost less an allowance for credit losses, if any, and represents fees management expects to collect based on each contract. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its account receivable and establishes an allowance for credit losses, based on past history, collections, and current credit conditions. Accounts are written-off as uncollectible once the Company has exhausted its collection means. As of June 30, 2022, there was no allowance for credit losses.

### Income Taxes

The Company is a limited liability company and is treated as a disregarded entity for federal, state and city income tax purposes; it therefore does not incur income taxes at the Company level. Instead its earnings and losses are passed through to the member and included in the calculation the ultimate member's tax liability. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements. Management has analyzed the Company's tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded as of June 30, 2022.

### Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company follows ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ("ASC 326"). ASC 326 impacts the impairment model for certain financial assets by requiring a current expected credit loss ("CECL") methodology to estimate expected credit losses over the entire life of the financial asset.

The Company did not have any accounts receivable impacted by the guidance. An allowance for credit losses may be based on the Company's expectation of the collectability of its receivables utilizing the CECL framework.

{7}------------------------------------------------

# **SEXTANT SECURITIES, LLC NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

### **JUNE 30, 2022**

#### NOTE2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTfNG POLICIES (continued)

### Allowance for Credit Losses (continued)

The Company considers factors such as historical experience, credit quality, age of balances and current and future economic conditions that may affect the Company's expectation of the collectability in determining the allowance for credit losses.

#### NOTE3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In accordance with a services agreement, the Company's affiliate pays for various specified expenses and for various other expenses, such as sundry professional services, for which the Company does not reimburse the affiliate. During the period covered in this report, the affiliate paid professional fees and other supporting expenses on behalf of the Company without seeing reimbursement.

The Company owes its affiliate compensation expense of \$3,919 as of June 30, 2022, which is included in accounts payable on the statement of financial condition.

#### NOTE4. NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission Uniform Net Capital Rule l 5c3-I. This Rule requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital both as defined shall not exceed 15 to l and that equity capital may not be withdrawn or cash dividends paid if the resulting net capital ratio would exceed 10 to 1. At June 30, 2022 the Company's net capital was \$126,418 which was \$121,418 in excess of its minimum requirement of \$5,000.

#### NOTES. COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 15C3-3

The Company does not handle cash or securities on behalf of customers and accordingly has no obligation under SEC Rule 15c3-3.

#### NOTE 7. CONCENTRATIONS

All the Company's cash is maintained in a single financial institution. The Company does not consider itself to be at risk with respect to this concentration.
