19 ALLEGHENY FINANCIAL GROUP, LTD. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Operations Allegheny Financial Group, Ltd. (the "Company") is a financial planning firm, offering access to a wide range of financial products and services and specializing in consumer-oriented financial planning. Basis of Accounting The Company maintains its records and prepares financial statements using the accrual basis of accounting. Investment Advisory Fees Investment advisory fees are received quarterly but are recognized as earned on a pro rata basis over the term of the contract. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts. Balances still outstanding after management has used reasonable efforts are written off through a charge in the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. The Company determines when receivables are past due upon contract terms, and does not charge finance costs on past-due trade receivables. A provision for doubtful accounts of $20,000 has been included in the accompanying financial statements. Investments Investments in equity securities that have readily determinable fair values are classified and accounted for as trading securities. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are included in other income. Property, Plant, and Equipment Property, plant, and equipment are carried at cost. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Upon sale or retirement, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and only the resultant gain or loss is recognized. Depreciation Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line and various accelerated methods over the useful lives of the assets. Assets and their economic lives or recovery period are as follows: Assets Office furniture and equipment Leasehold improvements Economic Lives/ Recovery Period 5-10 years 7 years Depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2014, amounted to $23,649 (unaudited). Revenue Recognition The Company records income at the time clients are invoiced for services to be performed during the applicable contract period. Services are generally not provided by the Company prior to payment by the client. The Company considers unpaid client invoices as a cancellation of the contract, terminating the Company's obligation to provide service. Cash Flows For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. 6

20 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Concentration of Credit Risk The Company's principal activities include financial planning, financial and business consulting, and money management with the majority of their clients located in the western Pennsylvania area. The Company maintains cash accounts which, at times, may exceed insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP 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 and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Advertising Costs Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense for the year ended December 31, 2014, was $100,029 (unaudited). 2.

No provision or liability for federal or state income taxes is included in these financial statements. However, the Company is subject to state corporate income taxes in any state that does not automatically recognize its federal S status, and in which it does not specifically elect to be taxed as an S Corporation. Currently, the Company is subject to state income taxes in the state of New York, and its policy is to expense these amounts as they are incurred. The Company recognizes and measures its unrecognized tax benefits in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under that guidance the Company assesses the likelihood, based on their technical merit, that tax positions will be sustained upon examination based on the facts, circumstances and information available at the end of each period. The measurement of unrecognized tax benefits is adjusted when new infoimation is available, or when an event occurs that requires a change. There is currently no liability for uncertain tax positions and no known unrecognized tax benefits. The Company recognizes, when applicable, interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in other expenses on the Statement of Comprehensive Income. The Company's federal and state income tax returns for taxable years ending prior to 2011 are closed for purposes of examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities. 7

STOCKHOLDERS' AGREEMENT The stockholders of the Company entered into an agreement stipulating, among other things, the terms under which the Company's stock can be sold or transferred. The agreement provides that ownership of the Company will be determined by the cumulative gross revenues produced for the Company by each revenue producer at a price determined in accordance with the agreement. The agreement also requires that the Company redeem the shares owned by a stockholder upon death, disability, or retirement if those shares are not purchased by any of the other stockholders. 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The following disclosures show the hierarchal disclosure framework associated with the level of pricing observations utilized in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value. The three broad levels defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles are as follows: Level I: Level II: Level III: Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date. Pricing inputs are other than the quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. The nature of these assets and liabilities includes items for which quoted prices are available but traded less frequently and items that are fair-valued using other financial instruments, the parameters of which can be directly observed. Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. The following table presents the assets reported on the Balance Sheet at their fair value as of December 31, 2014, by level within the fair value hierarchy. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. December 31, 2014 Level I Level II Level HI Total Assets: Investments, trading 234,222 $ 234,222 9

23 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued) Fair value is defined as the amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties other than in a forced or liquidation sale. If a quoted market price is available for a financial instrument, the estimated fair value would be calculated based upon the market price per trading unit of the instrument. Investment securities trading are valued based upon quoted market prices. Financial instruments are defined as cash, evidence of ownership interest in an entity, or a contract that creates an obligation or right to receive or deliver cash or another financial instrument from or to a second entity on potentially favorable or unfavorable terms. Fair value is defined as the amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties other than in a forced liquidation or sale. If a quoted market price is available for a financial instrument, the estimated fair value would be calculated based upon the market price per trading unit of the instrument. As certain assets such as furniture and equipment are not considered financial instruments, the estimated fair value of financial instruments would not represent the full value of the Company. Cash and cash equivalents, trading investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses would be considered financial instruments. At December 31, 2014, the carrying amount of all financial instruments approximates fair value. 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Management has reviewed events occurring through March 20, 2015, the date the financial statements were issued, and no subsequent events have occurred requiring accrual or disclosure. 10
