## **5D Partners LLC NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2021**

#### Note 1 **Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

#### **Organization and Description of Business**

5D Partners LLC (the "Company'') is a Delaware limited liability company formed on March 10, 2020. 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"). As a limited liability company, the members' liability is limited to their investment. The Company intends to engage in the private placement of securities and facilitate mergers and acquisitions.

#### **Revenue Recognition**

The Company has yet to generate any revenue from customers. Revenue from contracts with customers will primarily include private placement and advisory services related to capital raising activities and mergers and acquisition transactions. The recognition and measurement of revenue is based on the assessment of individual contract terms. Significant judgment is required to determine whether performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time; how to allocate transaction prices where multiple performance obligations are identified; when to recognize revenue based on appropriate measure of the Company's progress under the contract; whether revenue should be presented gross or net of certain costs; and whether constraints on variable consideration should be applied due to uncertain future events.

Investment banking revenue for advisory arrangements is generally recognized at the point in time that performance under the agreement is completed (the closing date of the transaction). In some circumstances, significant judgment is needed to determine the timing and measure of progress appropriate for revenue recognition under a specific contract. Retainers and other fees received from customers prior to recognizing the revenue would be reflected as deferred revenue on the accompanying statement of financial condition.

#### **Income Taxes**

The Company is taxed as a partnership. As such, the members of the limited liability company are taxed on their proportionate share of the Company's taxable income. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the accompanying financial statements.

Under the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, the Company is required to evaluate each of its tax positions to determine if they are more likely than not to be sustained if the taxing authority examines the respective position. A tax position includes an entity's status and the decision not to file a return. The Company has evaluated each of its tax positions and has determined that no provision or liability for income taxes is necessary.
