We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement is free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statement, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

## **5D Partners LLC NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2024**

## 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 member's liability is limited to its investment.

The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of 5DP Holding LLC (the "Member"). The Company engages in the private placement of securities and facilitates mergers and acquisitions.

## **Revenue from Contracts with Customers**

Revenue is recognized in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2014-09, ASC 606. The guidance requires the company to follow a five-step model to (a) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (b) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (c) determine the transaction price, (d) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (e) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

Revenue from contracts with customers includes 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. The contracts often contain nonrefundable retainer fees, and/or success fees, which may be fixed or represent a percentage of the value that the customer receives if and when the transaction is completed ("success fees").

The Company recognizes certain retainer revenue from contracts with customers at the point in time in which specified deliverables are transferred to the Company's customers. Success fee revenue from advisory agreements is generally recognized at the point in time that performance under the agreement is completed (the closing date of the transaction).

### **Income Taxes**

As a limited liability company, the tax consequences of the Company's operations all pass through to the Member. Therefore, the Company's income or loss is reported on the Member's partnership income tax return. As a result, no federal or state income taxes are included in the accompanying financial statements as they are the responsibility of the individual owners of the Member.

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 

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

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.

## **5D Partners LLC NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2024**

#### Note 1 **Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)**

#### **Use of Estimates**

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

#### **Cash**

The Company maintains its bank account in a high credit quality financial institution. The balance at times may exceed federally insured limits.

### **Property and Equipment**

Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided by use of straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.

#### **Note – Single Reportable Segment (ASC 280 Compliance)**

According to the guidance in FASB ASC 280, Segment Reporting, as amended by the FASB ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires the companies, including those with a single reportable segment, to disclose additional information about a reportable segment's expenses in interim and annual periods, among other requirements. The Company operates in a single line of business as a securities broker-dealer, which is comprised of one class of services, including investment banking, investment advisory, private placements, mergers and acquisitions and venture capital businesses. The Company has identified its senior management committee, composed of the CEO, CFO, and CCO, as the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). The CODM evaluates the performance of the business primarily using net income and considers excess net capital, a measure not based on profit and loss, to make strategic decisions such as reinvesting profits or member distributions. (Note: The role of CODM may vary between other roles such as CEO, CFO, CCO, Financial and Operations Principal (FinOp), or it could be a committee or group rather than a single individual.) The Company's operations constitute a single operating segment and therefore, a single reportable segment, because the CODM manages the business activities using information of the Company as a whole. The accounting policies used to measure the profit and loss of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The CODM regularly assesses segment performance, including net income, to evaluate overall operational effectiveness. Additionally, the CODM routinely reviews the Company's regulatory net capital levels in comparison to required minimums, informing strategic decisions on profit retention or distributions to the Parent.

{9}------------------------------------------------

#### Note 2 **Related Party Transaction**

The Company operates from office space provided by an owner of the Company's Member at no cost to the Company.

The note bears interest at a fixed annual rate of 2% and matures on October 18, 2026. The principal amount of this note as well as accrued interest in the amount of \$918 are reflected as note receivable from related party within the accompanying Statement of Financial Condition.

Financial position and results of operations would differ from the amounts in the accompanying financial statements if these related party transactions did not exist.

The Company has a loan to officers, promissory note, \$38,000 as of December 31, 2024.

#### Note 3 **Contingencies**

The Company is subject to litigation in the normal course of business. The Company had no litigation in progress as of December 31, 2024.

### Note 4 **Net Capital Requirements**

The Company, as a registered broker dealer is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1), which requires the maintenance of a minimum net capital and requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, shall not exceed 15 to 1. At December 31, 2024, the Company had net capital of \$38,857 which was \$33,857 in excess of its required net capital of \$5,000 and its ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 0.00 to 1.00.

#### Note 5 **Subsequent Events**

Subsequent events were evaluated through the date financial statements were issued.
