# REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Wilson-Davis & Company, Inc.

## **Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Wilson-Davis & Company, Inc. as of June 30, 2023, the related statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity, changes in liabilities subordinated to claims of general creditors, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Wilson-Davis & Company, Inc. as of June 30, 2023, 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 Wilson-Davis & Company, Inc.'s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Wilson-Davis & Company, Inc.'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 Wilson-Davis & Company, Inc. 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.

# **WILSON-DAVIS & COMPANY, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2023**

# **1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

## **a. Nature of Business**

The Company is a securities broker and dealer, dealing in over-the-counter and listed securities. The Company is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).

Revenue is derived principally from trading in securities for its own account and for the accounts of customers for which a commission is received.

The Company has operations in Utah, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, New York, Oklahoma and Texas. Transactions for customers are principally in the states where the Company operates, however, some customers are located in other states in which the Company is registered. Principal trading activities are conducted with other broker dealers throughout the United States.

## **b. Basis of Accounting**

Revenues and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States.

## **c. Revenue Recognition**

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method. This revenue recognition guidance requires that an entity recognize revenue 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 the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (e) recognize revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company acts as an agent by selling securities to customers and collecting commissions. The Company recognizes commissions on a trade date basis, which is the day the transaction is executed. The Company believes that the performance obligation is satisfied on the trade date because that is when the security is selected, the price is determined, the trade is executed, and the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to/from the customer.

The Company also receives commissions on mutual funds purchased by customers. The Company believes that the performance obligation is not satisfied until the mutual funds are purchased by customers and recognizes the commission at that time.

The Company performs vetting services to customers who wish to convert restricted stock to eligible trading stock. In addition, the Company charges clearing fees to another broker-dealer that it clears trades for. The Company recognizes revenue as the related performance obligations are satisfied.

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

## **d. Cash and Cash Equivalents**

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in the Company's bank accounts and any highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less.

## **e. Trading Securities**

Securities held in the Company's trading account and trading securities sold not yet purchased, consist primarily of over-the-counter securities and are valued based upon quoted market prices. The value of securities that are not readily marketable are estimated by management based upon quoted prices, the number of market makers, trading volume and number of shares held. Unrealized gains and losses are reflected in income in the financial statements.

## **f. Property and Equipment**

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation on property and equipment is provided using accelerated and straight-line methods over expected useful lives of three to seven years.

## **g. Leases**

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability on the statement of financial condition for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Pursuant to this standard, the Company has recorded an operating lease right-of use ("ROU") asset and operating lease liability in the accompanying statement of financial condition as of June 30, 2023.

The Company leases office space under the terms of several operating leases. The determination of whether an arrangement is a lease is made at the lease's inception. Under ASC 842, a contract is (or contains) a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control is defined under the standard as having both the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset and the right to direct the use of the asset. Management only reassesses its determination if the terms and conditions of the contract are changed.

ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses the implicit rate when it is readily determinable. Since the Company's leases do not provide implicit rates, to determine the present value of lease payments, management uses the Company's estimated incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement.

## **h. Income Taxes**

The Company utilizes the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. The objective of this method is to establish deferred tax assets and liabilities for the temporary differences between net income for financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized.

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

Income tax expense or benefit is provided based upon the financial statement earnings of the Company. The allowance for doubtful accounts is deductible for financial statement purposes, but not for tax purposes. Depreciation expense is recognized in different periods for tax and financial accounting purposes due to the use of accelerated depreciation methods for income tax purposes. The tax effects of such differences are reported as deferred income taxes in the financial statements.

## **i. Fair Value of Financial Instruments**

FASB ASC 825-10 *Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments*, requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet. FASB ASC 825-10 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements.

The fair value of financial instruments classified as current assets or liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate carrying value, principally because of the short maturity of those items.

## **j. Management Estimates**

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and prevailing industry practices requires management to make estimates and assumptions regarding trading securities, depreciation and other matters that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

## **2. CASH AND RESTRICTED CASH**

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and restricted cash reported within the statement of financial condition with the total of the same such amounts presented in the statement of cash flows.

| Cash and cash equivalents                                           | \$ 9,094,381  |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------|
| Cash segregated in accordance with Federal regulations – customers  | 26,764,260    |
| Cash segregated in accordance with Federal regulations – PAB        | 200,715       |
| Total cash and restricted cash shown in the statement of cash flows | \$ 36,059,356 |

## **3. CASH SEGREGATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL REGULATIONS**

The Company is required by Rule 15c3-3 of the Securities and Exchange Commission to maintain a cash reserve with respect to customers' transactions and credit balances, on a settlement date basis. Such a reserve is computed weekly using a formula provided by the rule and the reserve account must be separate from all other bank accounts of the Company. The required reserve as of June 30, 2023 was calculated to be \$27,111,239. The Company had \$26,764,260 cash on deposit in the reserve account, which was \$346,979 less than the amount required. On July 3, 2023 the Company deposited \$701,893 to the reserve account in accordance with the rule which resulted in an excess of \$354,914.

The Company is required by Rule 15c3-3 of the Securities and Exchange Commission to maintain a cash reserve with respect to broker-dealer transactions and credit balances. Such a reserve is computed weekly using a formula provided by the rule and the reserve account must be separate from all other bank accounts of the Company. The required reserve as of June 30, 2023 was calculated to be \$100,000. The Company had \$200,715 cash on deposit in the reserve account, which was \$100,715 more than the amount required.

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

## **4. RECEIVABLES & PAYABLES WITH BROKER DEALERS AND CLEARING ORGANIZATION**

At June 30, 2023, amounts receivable and payable with broker dealers and the clearing organization include:

|                                               | Receivables | Payables  |
|-----------------------------------------------|-------------|-----------|
| Due from or to the clearing organization, net | \$ 501,240  | \$ 5,153  |
| Fails to deliver and receive                  | 281,275     | 14,495    |
| Totals                                        | \$ 782,515  | \$ 19,648 |

## **5. CUSTOMER RECEIVABLES AND PAYABLES**

Accounts receivable from and payable to customers at June 30, 2023 include cash and margin accounts. Securities owned by customers are held as collateral for any unpaid amounts. Such collateral is not reflected in the financial statements. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts, as needed, for accounts in which collection is uncertain. Management periodically evaluates each account on a case-bycase basis to determine impairment. Accounts that are deemed uncollectible are written off to bad debt expense. Bad debt expense net of bad debt recoveries and trading error adjustments for the year ended June 30, 2023 were \$18,248.

# **6. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT**

Depreciation expense for the year ended June 30, 2023 was \$28,530. Property and equipment are summarized by major classifications as follows:

| Equipment                                      | \$ 150,202 |
|------------------------------------------------|------------|
| Leasehold improvements                         | 89,087     |
| Software                                       | 85,042     |
| Furniture and fixtures                         | 51,717     |
|                                                | 376,048    |
| Less accumulated depreciation and amortization | (341,741)  |
|                                                | \$ 34,307  |

## **7. LINE OF CREDIT**

On September 20, 2021 the Company obtained a \$10,000,000 revolving line of credit with its new bank. The interest rate is determined at the time of borrowing as agreed by the Company and the bank. The line of credit currently provides for interest at the bank's overnight rate plus 1.5% and is secured by the assets of the Company. In addition, the line of credit carries an interest rate of 0.5% on its unused portion. The interest cost was \$50,694 for the year ended June 30, 2023. The Company did not have an outstanding balance on the line of credit as of June 30, 2023. The line of credit contains certain loan covenants and advances on the line of credit are payable on demand. Management believes the Company was in compliance with applicable covenants as of June 30, 2023.

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

## **8. SUBORDINATED LOAN AGREEMENTS**

The Company has entered into six subordinated loan agreements totaling \$650,000, all of which is payable to current and former officers and directors of the Company. The agreements renew annually and provide for interest at 5% per annum. The Company anticipates that all notes will be renewed for additional oneyear periods, unless circumstances or Company requirements change. The loan principal and interest are unsecured and subordinated in right of payment to all claims of present and future creditors of the Company.

The subordinated loan agreements have been approved by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and are available for computing net capital under the Securities and Exchange Commission's uniform net capital rule (see note 15). To the extent that the borrowings are required for compliance with the minimum net capital requirements, they may not be repaid.

## **9. INCOME TAXES**

Income taxes are provided at statutory rates for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes which are due currently and for deferred taxes which relate to timing differences for the expense recognition of the allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciation and net operating loss carryforwards. Income tax expense computed at statutory rates consists of the following:

| Federal income tax expense                                   | \$ 28,468 |
|--------------------------------------------------------------|-----------|
| State and local income and franchise taxes                   | 7,323     |
| Change in deferred taxes for current year timing differences | 8,900     |
| Income tax expense                                           | \$ 44,691 |

The actual tax expense differs from the "expected" tax expense computed by applying the U.S. corporate rate of 21 percent as follows:

| Computed "expected" federal tax expense | \$ 36,965 |
|-----------------------------------------|-----------|
| Computed "expected" state tax expense   | 8,801     |
| Computed "expected" state tax deduction | (1,848)   |
| Effect of non-taxable federal income    | (481)     |
| Impact of non-deductible expenses       | 878       |
| Other                                   | 376       |
| Income tax expense                      | \$ 44,691 |

In accordance with ASU No. 2015-17, "Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes", the Company reports their deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, together as a single noncurrent item on the balance sheet. Using the applicable combined Federal and state tax rate of 26%, the deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

|                                                                                  | Amount      | Rate | Tax       |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------|------|-----------|
| Deferred income tax asset<br>Allowance for doubtful accounts                     | \$ 10,000   | 26%  | \$ 2,600  |
| Deferred income tax liability<br>Tax depreciation in excess of book depreciation | (\$ 13,300) | 26%  | (3,500)   |
| Net deferred income tax liability                                                |             |      | \$<br>900 |

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

#### **Notes to Financial Statements – continued**

The FASB has released accounting standards which require reporting entities to utilize different recognition thresholds and measurement requirements for uncertain tax positions than previously required. The Company has no uncertain tax positions that qualify for recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and local jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2019.

## **10. LEASE COMMITMENTS**

The Company has operating lease obligations for office space at its headquarters location and two branch offices. The various leases have the following characteristics:

The Company renewed a three-year operating lease for office space in February 2021, which will expire January 31, 2024. The terms of the agreement call for an annual 3% escalation in rents and one three-year renewal option at market rates.

The Company renewed an operating lease for office space in January 2023, which will expire on December 31, 2023. The terms of the agreement call for a fixed rent payment of \$2,163 per month.

The Company entered into a 63-month operating lease for office space in April 2020, which will expire May 31, 2025. The terms of the agreement call for specific annual escalation in rents and two five-year renewal options at market rates.

Rent expense under the three operating agreements totaling \$222,032 was charged to operations during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. The future minimum payments required by the office lease agreements in effect at June 30, 2023 are as follows:

| Year Ending June 30                              | Amount     |
|--------------------------------------------------|------------|
| 2024                                             | \$ 118,606 |
| 2025                                             | 42,528     |
| Total lease payments                             | 161,134    |
| Less interest factor                             | (5,414)    |
| Total operating lease liability                  | 155,720    |
| Less operating lease liability - current portion | 115,952    |
| Operating lease liability - long-term portion    | \$ 39,768  |

As disclosed in Note 1, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, *Leases* (Topic 842), which requires leases with durations greater than 12 months to be recognized on the statement of financial condition. The Company uses its estimated cost of capital at lease commencement as its interest rate, as the operating leases do not provide readily determinable implicit interest rates.

{18}------------------------------------------------

#### **Notes to Financial Statements – continued**

The following table presents the Company's lease-related assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2023:

| Assets:                         |                                               |            |
|---------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------|------------|
| Operating leases                | Operating lease right-of-use asset            | \$ 146,247 |
|                                 | Total                                         | \$ 146,247 |
| Liabilities:                    |                                               |            |
| Operating leases                | Operating lease liability - current portion   | \$ 115,952 |
| Operating leases                | Operating lease liability - long-term portion | 39,768     |
|                                 | Total                                         | \$ 155,720 |
| Weighted-average remaining term |                                               | 1.29 years |
| Weighted-average discount rate  |                                               | 4.77%      |

## **11. RETIREMENT PLANS**

The Company maintains a profit sharing and 401(k) retirement plan. All employees who meet certain age and length of service requirements are eligible to participate in the plan. Participants must work a minimum of 1,000 hours per year and become fully vested after six years of service. The plan allows employees to make elective deferrals and provides for discretionary contributions to be determined by the Board of Directors. No profit-sharing contribution was charged to operations for the year ended June 30, 2023.

## **12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS**

#### **a. Officer and director accounts**

At June 30, 2023, the amounts due to officers and directors consisted of cash balances in security accounts plus accrued compensation totaling \$679,775. Amounts paid or received on these accounts occur in the normal course of business.

#### **b. Subordinated borrowings**

Six subordinated loan agreements totaling \$650,000 are with current and former officers and directors of the Company (see note 8). Interest expense associated with the subordinated borrowings totaled \$32,500 during the year ended June 30, 2023.

{19}------------------------------------------------

## **13. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT**

FASB ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability, or in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market.

The 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 the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:

- *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.
- *Level 2*: Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 which are observable for asset or liability either directly or indirectly. These 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.

If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

*Level 3*: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Company's own assumption about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

The asset or liability's fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value:

*Trading Securities* - Valued at the bid price reported in the active market in which the individual securities are traded.

*Securities sold not yet purchased* - Valued at the ask price reported in the active market in which the individual securities are traded.

The preceding methods described may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

{20}------------------------------------------------

#### **Notes to Financial Statements – continued**

The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Company's assets and liabilities (if any) at fair value as of June 30, 2023:

| Assets             | Level 1  | Level 2  | Level 3  | Total    |
|--------------------|----------|----------|----------|----------|
| Trading securities | \$ 3,598 | \$<br>-- | \$<br>-- | \$ 3,598 |
| Totals             | \$ 3,598 | \$<br>-- | \$<br>-- | \$ 3,598 |

## **14. RISK MANAGEMENT**

Transactions involving financial instruments involve varying degrees of market, credit and operating risk. The Company monitors its exposure to risk on a daily basis.

## **Market Risk**

Market risk is the potential change in value of the financial instrument caused by unfavorable changes in interest rates and equity prices. Management is responsible for reviewing trading positions, exposure limits, profits and losses, and trading strategies. In the normal course of business, the Company purchases, and makes markets in non-investment grade securities. These activities expose the Company to a higher degree of market risk than is associated with investing or trading in investment grade instruments.

## **Operating Risk**

Operating risk focuses on the Company's ability to accumulate, process and communicate information necessary to conduct its daily operations. Deficiencies in technology, financial systems and controls and losses attributable to operational problems all pose potential operating risks. In order to mitigate these risks, the Company has established and maintains an internal control environment which incorporates various control mechanisms throughout the organization. In addition, the Company periodically monitors its technological needs and makes changes as deemed appropriate.

## **Credit Risk**

The Company's transactions with customers and other broker dealers are recorded on a trade date basis and are collateralized by the underlying securities. The Company's exposure to credit risk associated with nonperformance by customers or contra brokers is impacted by volatile or illiquid trading markets. Should either the customers or other broker dealers fail to perform, the Company may be required to complete the transactions at prevailing market prices. The Company manages credit risk by monitoring net exposure to individual counterparties on a regular basis. Historically, reserve requirements arising from instruments with off-balance-sheet risk have not been material.

Receivables and payables with clearing and other broker dealers are generally collateralized by cash deposits. Additional cash deposits are requested when considered necessary by the clearing organization or contra broker dealer.

Customer transactions are primarily entered in cash accounts. The Company maintains a few customer margin accounts which exposes the company to credit and market risks. However, this risk is minimized by the Company requirement that margin accounts must maintain at least a 2:1 ratio of securities to margin obligations.

{21}------------------------------------------------

#### **Notes to Financial Statements – continued**

Concentrations of credit risk that arise from financial instruments (whether on or off-balance sheet) exist for groups of counterparties when they have similar economic characteristics that would cause their ability to meet obligations to be similarly affected by economic, industry or geographic factors.

#### **Concentration of Credit Risk**

The Company's cash is deposited at one financial institution. Cash accounts at banks are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for up to \$250,000. At June 30, 2023 the Company had approximately \$9,289,394 in excess of the FDIC limit.

## **15. NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS**

As a broker dealer, the Company is subject to the uniform net capital rule adopted and administered by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The rule requires maintenance of minimum net capital and prohibits a broker dealer from engaging in securities transactions at a time when its net capital falls below minimum requirements, as those terms are defined by the rule. Under the alternative method permitted by this rule, net capital shall not be less than the greater of \$250,000 or 2% of aggregate debit items arising from customer transactions, as defined. Also, the Company has a minimum requirement based upon the number of securities' markets that the Company maintains. At June 30, 2023 the Company's net capital was \$9,727,713 which was \$9,477,713 in excess of the minimum required.

## **16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES**

On February 27, 2018, an extended hearing panel of the Department of Enforcement of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., Office of Hearing Officers, issued its decision ordering fines aggregating \$1.47 million for violations of the applicable short sales and anti-money laundering rules. The Company appealed the decision to the National Adjudicatory Council (NAC). On December 19, 2019 the NAC issued its decision ordering that the fines be reduced by \$205,000 to an aggregate \$1.265 million. The Company made a timely appeal to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to hear the case. Pursuant to FINRA Rules, the Company's timely appeal of the decision to the SEC deferred the effectiveness of the findings and sanctions. Due to the disparity in the range of fines of similar cases, the Company believes that the final amount is not reasonably estimable. The Company has booked a contingent liability totaling \$100,000 which represents the estimated low end of the possible range of fines.

## **17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS**

Management has evaluated subsequent events through August 29, 2023, the date which the financial statements were available to be issued and has determined there are no subsequent events to be reported.
