#### NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

#### Organization

Sundial Group, LLC (the "Company", "we", "us", "our"), incorporated in 2011 in Florida, is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA").

The Company's primary business is to assist clients with merger and acquisitions ("M&A"), including acting as a placement agent and finder to assist businesses with the sale of assets, stock or partnership interests; acting as an advisor to businesses looking to pursue acquisitions and/or mergers. The Company does not carry security accounts for customers or perform custodial functions relating to customers' securities.

### Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared pursuant to Rule 17a-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The classification and reporting of items appearing on the financial statements are consistent with that rule.

#### NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

### Use of Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

### Cash and Cash Equivalents:

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash and money market funds held at banks and other financial institutions.

#### Investment Banking Fees Receivable:

Due to the nature of the Company's business, Investment Banking fees receivable are usually collected within a matter of days as they are typically paid upon closing of a transaction.

#### Allowance for Credit Losses:

The Company applies ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ("ASC 326") the impairment model for certain financial assets measured at amortized cost by requiring a current expected credit loss ("CECL") methodology to estimate expected credit losses over the entire life of the financial asset, recorded at inception or purchase. Under the accounting update, the Company has the ability to determine there are no expected credit losses in certain circumstances. The allowance for credit losses is based on the Company's expectation of the collectability of financial instruments carried at amortized cost, including commissions and fees receivable utilizing the CECL framework. The Company considers factors such as historical experience, credit quality, age of balances

{11}------------------------------------------------

### NOTE 2 – Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

and current and future economic conditions that may affect the Company's expectation of the collectability in determining the allowance for credit losses. The Company's expectation is that the credit risk associated with commissions and fees receivables is not significant until they are 90 days past due on the contractual arrangement and expectation of collection in accordance with industry standards. Management does not believe that an allowance is required as of December 31, 2023.

### Revenue Recognition

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when, or as, the Company satisfies its performance obligations by transferring promised goods or services to customers. A good or service is transferred to a customer when, or as, the customer obtains control of that good or service. A performance obligation may be satisfied over

time or at a point in time. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time is recognized at the point in time that the Company determines the customer obtains control over the promised good or service. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those promised goods or services which is the transaction price.

Investment banking revenues include fees ("the transaction price") earned from providing merger-and-acquisition and financial advisory services on closed transactions. Investment banking fees are recorded on the closing date of the third-party transaction if the fees are reasonably determinable and collection is probable. This is the date the performance obligation is considered satisfied. Contingency based revenue fees are earned when the fees are reasonably determinable and collection is probable.

The Company may receive consideration in the form of securities. Securities received as consideration are often earned at a point in time when the specified event occurs, and the securities are issued to us. Therefore, we measure and recognize these securities received at fair value on the date of receipt. If securities are received in advance of completion of our services, the fair value will be recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue as the services are completed.

Performance obligations for referral fees vary dependent on the contract, but are typically satisfied upon completion of the arrangement as defined in the contract at which point the Company recognizes the revenue. Referral fees are classified as Other Income.

Disaggregation of revenues by product type in 2023 equals cash received from investment banking fees of \$18,150,605 and other income is \$93,750.

### NOTE 2 – Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

### Income Taxes:

As a limited liability company, the Company's taxable income or loss is allocated to members in accordance with their respective percentage of ownership. Therefore, no provision or liability for income taxes has been included in the financial statements.

Management has evaluated the Company's tax positions and concluded that the Company has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to or disclosures in the financial statements. As of December 31, 2023, tax years since 2020 remain open for IRS audit. The Company has received no notice of audit from the Internal Revenue Service for any of the open tax years.

### Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements:

The carrying amounts of the Company's financial assets, including cash, commission's receivable and of certain financial liabilities including accounts payable, accrued compensation and due to related party, approximate fair value because of their short maturities. Fair value is defined as the price that the Company would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in a timely transaction with an independent counter-party in the principal market or in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. A three-tier hierarchy distinguishes between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs); and establishes a classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Company's investments.

The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

- **Level 1** quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
- **Level 2** other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, credit risk, etc.)
- **Level 3** significant unobservable inputs (including the Company's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
