Coady Diemar Partners, LLC  
Notes to the Financial Statements  
Year Ended December 31, 2022

**CONFIDENTIAL**

# **1. Organization and Nature of Business**

Coady Diemar Partners, LLC (the “Company”) was organized as a Delaware Limited Liability Company, is a registered broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“SEC”), and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). The Company provides advisory services and arranges private placement of securities for institutional clients. The Company shall continue in existence until December 31, 2053, unless terminated at an earlier date in accordance with the provisions of the Operating Agreement.

# **2. Significant Accounting Policies**

# **Basis of Accounting**

The financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

# **Cash and Cash Equivalents**

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and in the bank, as well as short-term securities held for the primary purpose of general liquidity. Such securities normally mature within three months from the date of acquisition.

# **Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities**

Securities, when held, are valued at fair value, as required. Refer to Note 5 - Fair Value Measurements for related disclosures.

# **Revenue Recognition**

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC Topic 606”). The new revenue recognition guidance requires that an entity recognize revenue due to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance requires an entity 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 transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (e) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. In determining the transaction price, an entity may include variable consideration only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized would not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. The revenue recognition guidance does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, interest income and expense, leasing and insurance contracts.

Revenue for advisory arrangements is generally recognized at the point in time that performance under the arrangement completed (the closing date of the transaction) or the contract is cancelled.

# **Coady Diemar Partners, LLC**  
**Notes to the Financial Statements**  
**Year Ended December 31, 2022**

**CONFIDENTIAL**

Revenue for private placements is generally recognized at the point in time that performance under the arrangement is completed, generally on the closing date of the transaction, and the fee is typically contingent on the amount of capital raised.

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.

Retainers and other fees received from customers prior to recognizing revenue are reflected as unearned income (deferred revenue in the accompanying statement of financial conditions). In some circumstances, significant judgement is needed to determine the timing and measure of progress appropriate for revenue recognition under a specific contract.

The fees receivable net balance as of December 31, 2021 was $35,000.

# **Use of Estimates**

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

# **Income Taxes**

The Company is classified as a partnership for federal and state income taxes. As such, the members will reflect income or loss, as applicable, on their individual tax returns. However, New York City imposes an unincorporated business tax (“UBT”) on partnerships operating in New York City, and the provision for the UBT is reflected in the financial statements. The Company does not have uncertain tax positions and has timely filed its annual tax returns without extending the statute of limitations for any year. There are no tax related penalties or interest charges reflected in these financial statements.

# **Pass-Through Entity Tax**

New York State enacted the Pass-Through Entity Tax Act (“PTET”) effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2021. PTET allows pass-through entities to elect to pay the New York State tax due on the members’ share of net income of the Company. The Company has chosen to make the election for the year ended December 31, 2022. Taxes paid related to the PTET on behalf of its members amounted to $44,251, which is included in state and city tax expense on the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022.

# **3. Net Capital Requirements**

# **Coady Diemar Partners, LLC**  
**Notes to the Financial Statements**  
**Year Ended December 31, 2022**

**CONFIDENTIAL**

Pursuant to the basic uniform Net Capital provisions of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company is required to maintain a minimum Net Capital, as defined in such provisions.

Further, the provisions require that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness, as defined, to Net Capital shall not exceed 15 to 1. Net Capital and the related Net Capital ratio may fluctuate on a daily basis. At December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with its Net Capital requirements. The Net Capital and Net Capital requirements of $332,597 and $5,000, respectively, resulted, in excess Net Capital of $327,597. The percentage of Aggregate Indebtedness to Net Capital is 14.5525%.

# **4. Risk and Concentration**

Financial instruments that are potentially subject to credit risk include cash and cash equivalents. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures the Company's bank accounts up to a maximum of $250,000 in each bank. From time to time, the Company maintains cash balances at a financial institution that are in excess of federal insured amounts.

The Company derived 53% of its investment banking fee revenues from two customers.

# **5. Fair Value Measurements**

Securities, when held, are recorded at fair value in accordance with the accounting standard on fair value measurements, which established a framework for measuring fair value and clarifies that fair value is an estimate of the exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants (i.e., the exit price at the measurement date). That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of fair value hierarchy are described below.

Level 1

Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Year Ended December 31, 2022

CONFIDENTIAL

Level 2

Inputs to the valuation methodology include:

- Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
- Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;
- Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;
- Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3

Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

In 2012 and 2013, the Company received warrants to purchase preferred shares and common stock of privately held entities. These warrants were deemed to have zero fair value as of December 31, 2022 based on unobservable inputs.

6. Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Leases

The Company recognizes and measures its leases in accordance with FASB ASC 842. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at inception of a contract and when the terms of an existing contract are changed. The Company recognizes a lease liability and a right of use (ROU) asset at the commencement date of the lease. The operating ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As the Company's lease does not provide an implicit rate, the Company utilizes an estimated incremental borrowing rate based on information available at commencement date in determining the estimated present value of future payments.

As of December 31, 2022, the future minimum lease payments are as follows:

| 2023 | $86,636 |
| --- | --- |
| 2024 | 88,802 |
| 2025 | 91,022 |
| 2026 | 85,394 |
| Total | $351,854 |
