Significant judgement is required to determine whether performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time; how to allocate transaction process where multiple performance obligations are identified; when to recognize revenue based on the appropriate measure of the Company's progress under the contract; and whether constraints on variable considerations should be applied due to uncertain future events. #### Due from Broker As of September 30, 2023, amounts receivable form the clearing broker of \$308,583 consisted of deposits and amounts due from clearing broker, net of any payable for fees, commissions and errors and included clearing deposits of \$10,000 with Interactive Brokers LLC and a clearing deposit of \$83,000 with Velox clearing . #### Fixed Assets Computer equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** #### **SEPTEMBER 30, 2023** ## **NOTE 2 ‐ SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)** #### Income Taxes The Company is C‐Corporation incorporated in the State of New York. The Company evaluates its uncertain tax positions under the provisions of FASB ASC 740, *Income Taxes*. FASB ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more‐likely‐than‐not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Differences between tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the benefit recognized and measured pursuant to the interpretation are referred to as "unrecognized benefits." A liability is recognized (or amount of net operating loss carry forward or amount of tax refundable is reduced) for an unrecognized tax benefit because it represents an enterprise's potential future obligation to the taxing authority for a tax position that was not recognized as a result of applying the provisions of FASB ASC 740. As of September 30, 2023, no unrecognized tax benefits were required to be recorded. #### Use of Estimates The preparation of financialstatementsin conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 financialstatements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. #### Allowance for Credit Losses In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016‐13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses ("Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which amendsthe FASB's guidance on the impairment of financial instruments. The ASU addsto GAAP, an impairment model (known asthe current expected credit loss("CECL") that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, the Company recognizes as an allowance, its estimate of lifetime expected credit losses, which the FASB believes will result in more timely recognition of such losses, if any. The ASU is also intended to reduce the complexity of GAAP by decreasing the number of credit impairment models that entities use to account for debt instruments. Further, the ASU makes targeted changes to the impairment model for available‐for‐sale debt securities. The new CECL standard became effective on August 13, 2020 and had no impact on the Company as of that date. {8}------------------------------------------------ ### **GLOBAL PACIFIC SECURITIES US INC.
