(the "Company") was organized in the State of California on June 11, 2021. The Company registered as a broker-dealer with the Securities Exchange Commission on July 28, 2022, is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ["FINRA"] and the Security Investor Protection Corporation ["SI PC"] , The Company transacts business as a broker selling annuities, mutual funds, Delaware Statutory Trusts ("OST") and acts as a selling group participant in non-publicly traded REIT offerings. Under its membership agreement with FINRA the Company will not claim an exemption from SEA Rule 15c3-3. The Company will not accept customer funds or securities and will not have possession of any customer funds or securities in connection with their activities. The Company is a Non-Covered firm that relies on Footnote 74 to SEC Release 34-70073, and as discussed in Q&A 8 of the related FAQ issued by the SEC staff. ## Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies # **Basis of Presentation** The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company uses accrual method of accounting. ## **Use of estimates** The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. ## **Cash and Cash Equivalents** The Company considers a II highly liquid instruments with an origina I maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had acash balance of \$73,990. {7}------------------------------------------------ ## **Revenue Recognition** The Company recognizes private placement fees upon completion of the private placement offering. The Company receives private placement fees in accordance with terms stipulated in its Soliciting Dealer agreements. Fees received by the Company consist of sales commissions and a dealer reallowance fees. Sales commissions and dealer reallowance fees are not available for distribution to the Company until purchaser funds have cleared normal banking channels and Seller has accepted the tender of purchaser. ## A. Significant accounting policy Revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfied a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. Taxes and regulatory fees assessed by a government authority or agency that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specified revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue. ## B. Nature of services Fees earned: This includes fees earned from affiliated entities; investment banking fees, M&A advisory; account supervision and investment advisory fees; administrative fees, revenue from research services; rebates from exchanges/ECN and ATS; 12b-1 fees; Mutual fund fees other than concessions or 12b-1 fees; execution service fees; clearing services; fees earned from customer bank sweep into FDIC insured products or from '40Act companies and networking fees from' 40 Act companies. # C. Changes in Accounting Policy: The Company adopted Topic 606 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" when it was formed. The Company provides advisory services on mergers and acquisitions (M&A). Revenue for advisory arrangements is generally recognized at the point in time that performance under the arrangement is completed (the closing date of the transaction) or the contract is cancelled. However, for certain contracts, revenue is recognized over time for advisory arrangements in which the performance obligations are simultaneously provided by the Company and consumed by the customer. 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 revenue are reflected as contract liabilities. At December 31, 2022, the {8}------------------------------------------------ # Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Company maintains that no such contract liabilities existed nor were there any circumstances whereby significant judgement was needed to determine the timing and measure of progress appropriate for revenue recognition under a specific contract. # Professional fees As of December 31, 2022, the Company paid \$40,000 in professional fees, which included contract **services.** ## **Note 3: Securities owned** As of the statement of financial condition date the Company does not own any corporate stocks or debt instruments. ## **Note 4: Income taxes** The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that we believe these assets a re more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If we determine that we would be able to realize out deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes. ## **Note 5: Fair Value** The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") ASC 820 Measurements and Disclosures, for assets and measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The ASC 820 had no effect on the Company's financial. ASC 820 accomplishes the following key objectives: {9}------------------------------------------------ ## **Note 5: Fair Value** Continued - Defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; - Establishes a three-level hierarchy (the "Valuation Hierarchy") for fair value measurements; - Requires consideration of the Company's creditworthiness when valuing liabilities; and expands disclosures about instruments measured at fair value. The Valuation Hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. A financial instrument's categorization within the Valuation Hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of the Valuation Hierarchy and the distribution of the Company's financial assets within it are as follows: - Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. - Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology included quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the fin a ncia I instrument. Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Certain financial instruments are carried at cost on the statement of financial condition, which approximate fair value due to their short-term highly liquid nature. These instruments include cash and cash equivalents. ## Note 6: Net capital requirements Pursuant to the Basic Uniform Net Capital provisions of the Securities and Exchanges Commission, the Company is required to maintain a minimum net capital, as defined, in such provision. Further, the Securities and Exchange Commission Uniform net capital rule (Rule 15c3- 1) requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, as defined, shall not exceed 12.5 to 1 during the Company's first year of operation, and 15 to 1 thereafter. Net capital and the related net capital ratio may fluctuate on a daily basis. At December 31, 2022 the Company had net capital and net capital requirements of \$73,603 and \$5,000 respectively. The Company's aggregate indebtedness to net capital ratio was .0053 to 1 which is less than 15:1. {10}------------------------------------------------ ## Note 7: Commitments and Contingencies At December 31, 2022 the Company did not have any commitments, contingencies for guarantees that might result in a loss or future obligation. ## **Note 8: Subsequent Events** Management has evaluated subsequent events through March 22, 2023, the date which the financial statements were available to be issued.
