The accompanying Statement of Financial Condition has been prepared from the separate records maintained by the Company, and may not necessarily be indicative of the financial condition that would have existed if the Company had operated as an unaffiliated company (see note 4).

# (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

# (a) Basis of Presentation

This Statement of Financial Condition has been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).

# (b) Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Statement of Financial Condition in conformity with GAAP requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions. The reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Statement of Financial Condition are affected by these estimates, the most significant of which are disclosed in the notes to the Statement of Financial Condition. Estimates, by their nature, are based on available information. Therefore, actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Notes to Statement of Financial Condition

December 31, 2022

# (e) Securities Transactions

Investment securities owned, representing U.S. Treasury Notes, are carried at fair value. See note 3 for more information.

# (f) Short Term Investments

Short term investments include time deposits held with an affiliate with original maturities of greater than ninety days, but less than one year

# (g) Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities

The undiscounted maturity of the non-cancellable lease payments under the current lease agreement as of December 31, 2022 are as follows:

2023 1,416,678

2024 1,416,678

2025 1,416,678

2026-2031 7,978,262

Total undiscounted lease payments $12,228,296

The imputed interest included in computation of the lease liability as of December 31, 2022 was $1,563,818.

The Company leases certain office space from the Bank. The lease is for a ten-year term expiring in 2031. It has been classified as an operating lease and is included in the data presented above.

# (h) Deferred Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method to provide for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the Statement of Financial Condition carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Differences between the carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities on the statement of financial condition and their respective tax bases are attributable to these deferrals. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax laws and rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The federal, state and local deferred tax asset is included in the deferred tax amount in the statement of financial condition.

(A Wholly Owned Subsidiary of Banco Bradesco S.A.)

Notes to Statement of Financial Condition

December 31, 2022

The Company accounts for uncertainties in income taxes pursuant to ASC 740-10, Income Taxes. ASC 740-10 requires that the Company determine whether a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Once it is determined that a position meets this recognition threshold, the position is measured to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the statement of financial condition.

# (i) Equipment and Leasehold Improvements

Equipment and leasehold improvements are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method, based on the estimated useful life. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of their useful lives or the terms of the respective lease.

# (j) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value measurements are used to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. Securities owned are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.

ASC 820 outlines a fair value hierarchy. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

The levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. This level of the fair value hierarchy provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and is used to measure fair value whenever available.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs include: (a) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; (b) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, that is, markets in which there are few transactions for the asset or liability, the prices are not current, or price quotations vary substantially either over time or among market makers, or in which little information is released publicly; (c) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability or (d) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3: Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the Company's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk). These inputs are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances, which include the Company's own data. The Company's own data used to develop unobservable inputs are adjusted if information indicates that market participants would use different assumptions.

## (7) Deferred Taxes

The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2022 are summarized as follows:

| Deferred tax assets: |  |
| --- | --- |
| Accrued bonuses | $1,505,803 |
| Capital loss | 142,415 |
| Unrealized Loss - Treasury Bills | 266,957 |
| Leases - lease liability | 2,294,087 |
| Total deferred tax assets |  |
| before valuation allowance | 4,209,262 |
| Less valuation allowance | (142,415) |
| Total deferred tax assets | 4,066,847 |
| Deferred tax liability: |  |
| Depreciation | (178,364) |
| Leases - right of use | (2,163,403) |
| Bond Amortization | (99,691) |
| Total deferred tax liability | (2,441,458) |
| Net deferred tax assets | $1,625,389 |

The company has $662,041 of capital losses incurred in 2020 which will expire if unused by 2025.

Under ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company regularly assesses the need for a valuation allowance against its deferred taxes. In making that assessment, both positive and negative evidence is considered related to the likelihood of realization of the deferred tax assets to determine, based on the weight of available evidence, whether it is more-likely than not that some or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. After consideration of all relevant evidence, including history of pre-tax earnings, Management believes that it is more likely than not that a benefit will be realized for all but one of its federal, state and local deferred tax assets. Regarding the deferred tax asset related to capital loss, the Company does not expect to generate sufficient capital gains in the future in order to utilize the capital loss carry-forward. Because of this, Management has reflected a full valuation allowance of $142,415.

## (8) Concentration of Credit Risk

Credit risk is the amount of loss the Company would incur if a counterparty fails to perform its obligation under contractual terms. All of the clearing operations for the Company are performed by clearing brokers pursuant to clearing agreements. The clearing brokers, as well as the Company, review the credit standing of the counterparties with which the Company conducts business. The Company's exposure to credit risk associated with the nonperformance by counterparties in fulfilling their obligations pursuant to securities transactions can be directly impacted by volatile securities markets, credit markets and regulatory changes.
