In our opinion, the financial statement presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

# **Basis for Opinion**

This financial statement is the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statement based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Nature of Company 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 and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. Contracts with Customers

Contract Balances

A receivable is recognized when a performance obligation is met prior to receiving payment by the customer. Receivables related to revenue from contracts with customers totaled $0 and $30,005 as of May 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Alternatively, fees received prior to the completion of the performance obligation are recorded as deferred revenue on the statement of financial condition until such time when the performance obligation is met. Deferred revenue would primarily relate to retainer fees received in investment banking engagements. As of May 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022 there were no amounts of revenue deferred.

3. Net Capital

As a broker dealer, the Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission's regulations and operating guidelines, which require the Company to maintain a specified amount of net capital, as defined, and a ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital as derived, not exceeding 8 to 1.
