**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM** 

**To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Mcliney and Company** 

#### **Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of McLiney and Company (the "Company") as of January 31, 2019, the related statements of income, changes in shareholder's equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes and schedules (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of January 31, 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

#### **Basis for Opinion**

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements 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 statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

#### **Auditor's Report on Supplemental Information**

The Computation of Net Capital Under SEC Rule 15c3-1 (Schedule I) and Computation for Determination of Reserve Requirements and Information Relating to Possession or Control Requirements Under SEC Rule 15c3-3 (Schedule II) have been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Company's financial statements. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with 17 C.F.R. §240.17a-5. In our opinion, the Computation of Net Capital Under SEC Rule 15c3-1 and Computation for Determination of Reserve Requirements and Information Relating to Possession or Control Requirements Under SEC Rule 15c3-3 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

{9}------------------------------------------------

### **1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

### **Nature of Operations:**

The Company is a broker-dealer, principally in securities of municipalities, with customers throughout the United States. The Company is a member of FINRA and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC).

#### **Use of Estimates:**

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates, but management does not believe such differences will materially affect the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

### **Property, Furniture and Equipment:**

Property, furniture and equipment are carried at cost. Major renewals and betterments are capitalized, and maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the life of the respective asset are charged against earnings in the period in which they are incurred. Depreciation is calculated on straight-line using estimated useful lives of five to thirty-nine years. Depreciation expense was \$3,680 for the year ended January 31, 2019.

#### **Long-lived Assets:**

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment is measured by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. The Company determined that as of January 31, 2019, there had been no impairment in the carrying value of long-lived assets.

#### **Cash and Cash Equivalents:**

The Company's cash and cash equivalents consist principally of cash and money market accounts with financial institutions. The investment policy limits the amount of credit exposure of any one financial institution. From time to time, the Company will have cash in excess of the FDIC's \$250,000 limit. As of January 31, 2019, the Company has \$704,616 in excess of the FDIC limit.

{10}------------------------------------------------

#### **Accounts Receivable:**

The Company carries trade accounts receivable on a gross, with no discounting for allowance for bad debts. There is no collateral held by the Company for accounts receivable. Interest is not accrued on accounts receivable. The Company does not believe that there are significant concentrations of credit risk arising from accounts receivable. Included in accounts receivable as of January 31, 2019 was \$2,014 of purchased interest on municipal bonds held in inventory and an employee receivable of \$2,917.

### **Concentrations:**

Three individuals were responsible for generating approximately 73% of Company revenues for the year ended January 31, 2019. Approximately 62% of the Company's revenue was generated through investment banking fees on municipal securities underwriting.

#### **Revenue Recognition:**

Underwriting - The Company recognizes revenue on its underwriting of municipal bond securities on a trade date basis.

Investment Banking - Investment banking revenues, which include placement and advisory fees, are recorded and collected when services for the transactions are completed under the terms of each engagement and the transaction has closed. Expenses associated with such transactions are deferred until the related revenue is recognized or the engagement is otherwise concluded. Expenses related to investment banking deals not completed are recognized as operating expenses on the statement of income.

Proprietary Trading - Proprietary trading revenues include realized and unrealized gains on firm investments in exchange traded funds. Realized gains and losses are recognized on a trade date basis. Firm investments are reflected at current market values with unrealized gains and losses included in income.

Interest Income and Expense - The Company recognizes contractual interest on its municipal bond inventory on an accrual basis as a component of interest income. The Company accounts for interest related to its line of credit on an accrual basis with related interest recorded as interest expense.

{11}------------------------------------------------

#### **Advertising Expense:**

Advertising expense was \$14,593 for the year ended January 31, 2019.

#### **Income Taxes:**

The Company follows ASC subtopic 7 40-10 (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes") for recording the provision for income taxes. ASC 7 40-10 requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change.

Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or noncurrent depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

The Company records uncertain tax positions when the effect of the outcome is considered more likely than not and reasonably estimable. As of January 31, 2019, the Company has not made any accruals for uncertain tax provisions. Fiscal years ended in 2016 and after remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions.

#### **Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:**

ASU 2016-02 - In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, Leases. This ASU will supersede the guidance in ASC Topic 840, Leases. Under ASU 2016-02, for lease arrangements exceeding a 12-month term, a lessee will be required to recognize in the balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02 will retain a distinction between finance and operating leases;

{12}------------------------------------------------

however, the principal difference from the previous guidance is that lease assets and liabilities arising from operating leases will be recognized in the balance sheet. The recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee will not significantly change from current GAAP. Subsequent to issuing ASU 2016- 02, the FASS has issued additional standards for the purpose of clarifying certain aspects of ASU 2016-02 and providing additional (optional) transition method with which to adopt the new lease standard. The subsequently issued ASUs have the same effective date and transition requirements as ASU 2016-02. Under ASU 2016-02, an entity may apply the amendments by using one of the following two methods: (1) recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach or (2) apply the standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning February 1, 2019. The Company has not selected a transition method and is currently assessing the impact of this ASU, but does not expect the standard to have a material impact on its net income. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, the Company expects to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for its operating leases, with initial measurement as defined by the ASU, in its balance sheet.

ASU 2014-09 - In May 2014, the FASS issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers to clarify the principles of recognizing revenue from contracts with customers to improve financial reporting by creating common revenue recognition guidance for U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. This ASU will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. Entities are required to apply the following steps when recognizing revenue under ASU 2014-09: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (3) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. This ASU also requires additional disclosures related to the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. An entity may apply the amendments by using one of the following two methods: (1) retrospective application to each prior reporting period presented or (2) a modified retrospective approach, requiring the standard be applied to only the most current period presented, with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of the initial application. ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Subsequent to issuing ASU 2014-09,

{13}------------------------------------------------

the FASB has issued additional standards for the purpose of clarifying certain aspects of ASU 2014-09. The subsequently issued ASUs have the same effective date and transition requirements as ASU 2014-09.

The guidance does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, such as interest revenue, which is accounted for under other GAAP. Accordingly, net interest revenue will not be impacted. The Company adopted the revenue recognition standard as of February 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method of adoption. This adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows as the satisfaction of performance obligations under the new guidance is materially consistent with the Company's previous revenue recognition policies.

Management has reviewed recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASS (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC, other than those noted above, and feel they did not or will not have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.

### **2. Note Payable**

The Company has a \$5,000,000 line of credit with a · bank secured by municipal bond inventory and the personal guarantee of the shareholders. Interest is payable monthly at the prime rate with a floor of 5%. The line matures in November of 2019. On January 31, 2019 the prime rate was 5.50% and was 4.50% to 5.50% during the year then ended.

### **3. Note Payable-Related Party**

On January 1 , 2007 the company executed a note payable with a related party in the amount of \$52,000 in exchange for 3,320 shares of Class A company stock. The note bears interest at 10%, payable monthly with the principal payable on demand. As of January 31, 2019 there is \$52,000 payable on this note.

Total interest expense was \$5,200 for the year ended January 31, 2019.

#### **4. Net Capital Requirements and SIPC Assessment**

The Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c 3-1 requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital shall not exceed 15 to 1. At January 31, 2019, the Company had an aggregate indebtedness to net capital ratio of 0.047 to 1 and net capital of \$1,526,107.

{14}------------------------------------------------

### **5. Pension Plan**

The Company has a Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees (SIMPLE) covering all employees. The Company will match employee contributions up to 3% of compensation. Amounts contributed for the year ended January 31, 2019 was \$6,991.

#### **6. Income Taxes**

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Act reduces the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21 %. The U.S. federal statutory income tax rate, for companies with a fiscal year end of January 31, 2019 was 21 %.

Provision for income taxes is comprised of the following for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2019:

| (25,692) |
|----------|
| (4,271)  |
| (29,963) |
| (29,963) |
|          |

Deferred tax assets (liabilities) are comprised of the following:

| Deferred tax assets:         |              |
|------------------------------|--------------|
| Operating loss carryforwards | \$<br>31,258 |
| Deferred tax liabilities:    |              |
| Furniture and equipment      | (1,995)      |
| Net deferred tax asset       | \$<br>29,263 |
|                              |              |

As of January 31, 2019, the Company has approximately \$125,000 of operating loss carryforwards. These carryforwards expire in the fiscal year ending January 31, 2034. The Company expects to fully utilize the loss carryforward prior to expiration. Accordingly no valuation allowance against the computed benefit has been provided.

{15}------------------------------------------------

## **7. Commitments, Contingencies, and Guarantees**

**8. Computation of determination of reserve requirements (Rule 15c3-3)**  A computation of reserve requirements is not applicable to the Company as the Company qualifies for an exemption under Rule 15c3-3(k)(2)(i).

### **9. Information relating to possession or control requirements (Rule 15c3-3)**

Information relating to possession or control requirements is not applicable to the Company as the Company qualifies for exemption under Rule 15c3- 3(k)(2)(i).

### **10. Fair Value Measurements**

ASC Topic 820-10 establishes 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). ASC Topic 820- 10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820-10 are described below:

Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. This category includes municipal bond inventory, active exchange-traded funds, money market mutual funds, mutual funds and equity securities.

{16}------------------------------------------------

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Such inputs include quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active and inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. This category includes most debt securities. The Company had no level 2 assets as of January 31, 2019.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, where there is little, if any, observable market activity or data for the asset or liability. The Company had no level 3 assets at any time during the year ended January 31,2019.

The following table presents the Company's fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of January 31, 2019:

|                            | Level1    | Level2 |  | Levef 3 |  | Fair Value |         |
|----------------------------|-----------|--------|--|---------|--|------------|---------|
| Municipal bond inventory   | \$343,143 | \$     |  | \$      |  | \$         | 343,143 |
| Securities owned           | 91,057    |        |  |         |  |            | 91,057  |
| Total assets at fair value | \$434,200 | \$     |  | \$      |  | \$         | 434,200 |

#### **Valuation Techniques**

#### Level 1 Measurements:

In general, and where applicable, the Company uses quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities to determine fair value. This pricing methodology applies to the Company's Level 1 assets and liabilities. If quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities are not available to determine fair value, then the Company uses quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly.

#### Level 2 and 3 Measurements:

The Company has no material assets or liabilities classified as Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

{17}------------------------------------------------

### **Fair Value of Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value**

Other receivables are short-term in nature and accordingly are carried at amounts that approximate fair value. These financial instruments are recorded at or near their respective transaction prices and historically have been settled or converted to cash at approximately that value.

### **11. Subsequent events**

The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through March XX, 2019, the date the financial statements were issued, and determined that there are no subsequent events to record or disclose.

We have reviewed management<sup>1</sup> s statements, included in the accompanying SEA Rule 17a-5(d)(4) Exemption Report, in which (1) Mcliney and Company (the "Company") identified the following provisions of 17 C.F.R. §15c3-3(k) under which the Company claimed an exemption from 17 C.F.R. §240.15c3-3(k)(2)(i) (the "exemption provisions") and (2) the Company stated that the Company met the identified exemption provisions throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception. The Company's management is responsible for compliance with the exemption provisions and its statements.

Our review was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included inquiries and other required procedures to obtain evidence about the Company's compliance with the exemption provisions. A review is substantially less in scope than an examination, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion on management's statements. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to management's statements referred to above for them to be fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the provisions set forth in paragraph (k)(2){i) of Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The sufficiency of these procedures is solely the responsibility of those parties specified in this report. Consequently, we make no representation regarding the sufficiency of the procedures described below either for the purpose for which this report has been requested or for any other purpose. The procedures we performed and our findings are as follows:
