Fund Startup Expenses
The Company expenses all startup expenses associated with the registration of each fund and the expense is charged to general and administrative expense. Fund startup expenses include costs relating to the initial registration of shares and include, but are not limited to, legal fees pertaining to the initial registration of shares, SEC and FINRA registration fees, initial fees to be listed on an exchange, and other similar costs.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with various high credit quality institutions. At times, the Company maintains cash deposits in excess of the United States Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage of $250,000, but the Company does not expect any losses.
Accounts Receivable – Related Party
Accounts receivable consists of management fees receivable. Management fees receivable generally consist of one month of management fees which are collected in the month after they are earned.
Management closely monitors receivables and records an allowance for any balances that are determined to be uncollectible. As of September 30, 2016 the Company considered all remaining accounts receivable to be fully collectible.
Investments
Management determines the appropriate classification of investments at the time of purchase based upon management’s intent with respect to such investments. Short-term investments consist of equities and money market funds. Short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale securities. The Company measures the investments at fair value at period end with any changes in fair value reflected as unrealized gains (losses) in the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Long-term investments consist of a $500,000, 10% equity interest in SFA Holdings, Inc., an unrelated broker-dealer incorporated in the state of Georgia, and a $980 investment in the U.S. Natural Gas, L.P., a fund managed by the Company. The 10% equity interest has been accounted for in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 325, Cost-Method Investments (“ASC 325”). Under ASC 325, the Company evaluates the investment for impairment annually, or more frequently if circumstances arise indicating potential impairment. The Company recognized no impairment losses in 2016 or 2015.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company reports all changes in equity during the year, except those resulting from investment by stockholders and distributions to stockholders, in the year in which they are recognized. Comprehensive income is the total of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, other comprehensive loss consists of unrealized losses on investments.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company’s short-term investments are carried at estimated fair value. In determining fair value, the Company follows the guidance of FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). Under ASC 820, the fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities, without adjustment.
Level 2 – Quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in active markets of similar assets or liabilities, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 – Pricing inputs are unobservable and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment.
Unrealized gains and losses on investments resulting from market fluctuations are recorded in the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Realized gains or losses on sales of investments are determined on a specific identification basis.
All short-term investments, which include money market funds and equities, are classified as Level 1 investments during the period ended September 30, 2016. The Company has no Level 2 and 3 investments. There were no transfers between levels during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
Short-term investments are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, valuation of net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards, if any. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. If necessary, a valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets until it is more likely than not that such assets will be realized.
The Company provides for uncertain tax positions using guidance which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized upon the adoption of the accounting standard and in subsequent periods. In addition, the accounting standard provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company’s policy to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, to eliminate the requirement to classify deferred income tax assets and liabilities between current and noncurrent. The ASU simply requires that all deferred income tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the ASU is either retrospective to each prior period presented or prospective. As of December 31, 2015, the Company early adopted the ASU.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, to mainly change the accounting for investments in equity securities and financial liabilities carried at fair value as well as to modify the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the ASU is retrospective with a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings or accumulated deficit as of the adoption date. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of the ASU will have a material impact on its financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The amendments in this update create Topic 842, Leases, and supersede the leases requirements in Topic 840, Leases. Topic 842 specifies the accounting for leases. The objective of Topic 842 is to establish the principles that lessees and lessors shall apply to report useful information to users of financial statements about the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from a lease. The main difference between previous GAAP and Topic 842 is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of the ASU will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
