# **Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

To the Board of Directors of Westmoreland Capital Corporation (A wholly-owned subsidiary of J.M. Jayson & Company, Inc.):

# **Opinion on the Financial Statement**

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Westmoreland Capital Corporation (the Company) as of December 31, 2021, and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021, 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 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 from material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

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.

#### **Supplemental Information**

The supplementary information contained in Schedule I, Computation of Net Capital Under Rule 15c3-1, Schedule 11, Computation of Requirements Under Rule 15c3-3 (exemption) and Schedule Ill Information Relating to the Possession or Control Requirements Under Rule 15c3-3, all under the Rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission have been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Company's 

{4}------------------------------------------------

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 supplementary information contained in Schedule I, Computation of Net Capital Under Rule 15c3-1, Schedule II, Computation of Requirements Under Rule 15c3-3 (exemption) and Schedule Ill Information Relating to the Possession or Control Requirements Under Rule 15c3-3, all under the Rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2019.

#### **1. THE COMPANY**

Westmoreland Capital Corporation (the Company) is a broker/dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and the Securities Investors Protection Corporation. The Company is an introducing broker who does not take possession of customer funds or carry customer accounts. The Company is engaged primarily in the sale of direct participation program units oflimited partnership interests.

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

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.

Receivables - Commissions are recorded on a trade date basis as securities transactions occur. The commissions receivable are primarily from the parent corporation from the sale of limited partnership interests. Losses from uncollectible receivables are accrued when it is probable that a receivable is impaired and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Management believes that neither of these conditions existed with regard to the receivables, and, as such, an allowance for doubtful accounts has not been established.

Income taxes - The Company is included in the consolidated Federal income tax return of its parent corporation and files a stand-alone state income tax return. Federal income taxes are calculated as if the Company filed on a separate return basis, and the amount of current tax or benefit calculated is either remitted to or received from the parent corporation. The amount of current and deferred taxes payable or refundable is recognized as of the date of the financial statements utilizing currently enacted tax laws and rates. Deferred tax expenses or benefits are recognized in the financial statements for the changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities between the years.

The Company recognizes and measures its unrecognized tax benefits in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) ASC 740, *Income Taxes.*  Under this 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 information is available, or when an event occurs that requires a change. At December 31, 2021, management determined the Company had no uncertain tax positions which would require adjustment to the financial statements. The Company believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for periods prior to 2018.

Advertising - Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred and are included in marketing expense in the accompanying Statement of Operations.

#### **3. REVENUE RECOGNITION - COMMISSION INCOME**

Revenues are recognized when control of the promised services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services. Revenues are analyzed to determine whether the Company is the principal (i.e., reports revenues on a gross basis) or agent (i.e., reports revenues on a net basis) in the contract. Principal or agent designations depend primarily on the control an entity has over the product or service before control is transferred to a customer.

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

#### **3. REVENUE RECOGNITION - COMMISSION INCOME (continued)**

The Company's commission income resulting from the sale of mutual fund investments and limited partnership interests is recorded upon satisfaction of its performance obligations, which occurs on the trade date. Commission revenue is based on a percentage of the amounts invested. The Company views the selling, distribution and marketing, or any combination thereof, of mutual fund investments and limited partnership interests as a single performance obligation. The Company is the principal for commission revenue, as it is responsible for the execution of the clients' purchases and sales, and maintains relationships with the investment sponsor. Accordingly, total commission income is reported on a gross basis in the accompanying Statement of Operations.

### **4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS**

The Company is engaged principally in the sale of limited partnership interests in ventures that the Company's parent corporation or affiliates are involved. During the year ended December 31, 2021, substantially all the Company's commission income was from the sale of such limited partnership interests.

The Company files a consolidated Federal tax return with its parent corporation. As such, the Company's Federal tax expense or benefit is recorded as "due to/from parent" account in the accompanying Statement of Financial Condition. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized Federal tax expense totaling \$59,000.

The Company is a party to a Shared Service Agreement with a related party, US Energy Development Corporation, Inc. (USE), to reimburse that entity for certain shared services, including but not limited to: compensation costs of employees performing services for the Company, direct costs for activities attributable to the Company, and indirect costs for activities conducted jointly with the Company. The shared services charged were comprised of the following for the year ended December 31, 2021:

| Payroll and benefits | \$ 13,488 |
|----------------------|-----------|
| Rent                 | 2,465     |
| Office               | 692       |
| Telephone            | 1,337     |
| Other                | 847       |
|                      | \$ 18,829 |

At December 31, 2021, accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying statement of financial condition included \$6,307 owed to USE.

The Company is a party to a Discretionary Contribution Agreement with USE to reimburse that entity for costs incurred in the general marketing of its offerings, which indirectly benefit Westmoreland Capital Corporation. Whether to contribute toward these expenses is the sole discretion of the Company based on a number of factors. The total amount of discretionary contribution amounted to \$50,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021.

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

#### **5. NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS**

The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission Uniform Net Capital Rule (SEC Rule 15c3- 1), which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, shall not exceed 15 to 1. At December 31, 2021, the Company had net capital of\$1,309,571, which was \$1,064,190 more than its required net capital of\$245,381, and a ratio aggregate indebtedness to net capital of2.8 to 1.

#### **6. INCOME TAXES**

The Company's financial statements recognize the current and deferred income tax consequences that result from the Company's activities as if the Company were a separate taxpaying entity rather than a member of the parent corporation's consolidated income tax group. Differences between the Company's separate company income tax provision and cash flows attributable to income taxes pursuant to the provisions of the Company's tax sharing arrangement with the parent corporation have been recognized as a "due to/from parent company" in the accompanying Statement of Financial Condition and paid as applicable. The consolidated group anticipates Federal tax of \$59,500 payable for 2021.

The provision for income taxes consisted of the following for the year ended December 31, 2021:

| Current:  |           |
|-----------|-----------|
| Federal   | \$59,500  |
| State     | 19.329    |
|           | 78,829    |
| Deferred: |           |
| Federal   |           |
| State     |           |
|           |           |
|           | \$ 78.829 |

A reconciliation of the difference between the expected income tax expense or benefit computed at the U.S. statutory income tax rate and the Company's income tax expense is as follows for the year ended December 31, 2021:

| Expected income tax expense at U.S. statutory tax rate                | \$ 59,500                    |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------|
| The effect of:                                                        |                              |
| State minimum income taxes, net of U.S. Federal benefit<br>Other, net | 16,500<br>2.829<br>\$ 78 829 |

At December 31, 2021, the Company had \$0 Federal (calculated on a separate entity basis) and New York State net operating loss carryforwards.

### 7. **CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK**

The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and commissions receivable. The Company maintains its cash in bank demand deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company's commissions receivable are due from certain customers and arose in the normal course of business. The Company has not experienced any losses in these accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to its cash and cash equivalents and commissions receivable.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company realized commission revenue from the sale of limited partnership units in three programs sponsored by USE, which are: USEDC 2021 Drilling Fund LP, USEDC Opportunity Zone Fund I LP and the U S Energy Private Capital I LP. Commission income from these placements amounted to 100% of the Company total revenue, in the following order: 83.2%, 16.6% and .2%, respectively. At December 31, 2021, accounts receivable in the accompanying Statement of Financial Condition represented amounts due from USE as a result of these sales.

# **Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

To the Board of Directors of Westmoreland Capital Corporation (A wholly-owned subsidiary of J.M. Jayson & Company, Inc.):

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Exemption Report in which (1) Westmoreland Capital Corporation (the "Company") identified that it is considered a "Non-Covered Firm" exempt from provisions of 17 C.F.R. §15c3-3 and is filing its Exemption Report relying on footnote 74 to SEC Release 34- 70073, and as discussed in Q&A 8 of the related FAQ issued by the SEC staff, The Company limits its business activities exclusively to acting as an underwriter or selling group participant, acts as a broker or dealer selling oil and gas interests and the private placement of securities. (2) The Company (1) did not directly or indirectly receive, hold, or otherwise owe funds or securities for or to customers, other than money or other consideration received and promptly transmitted in compliance with paragraph (a) or (b)(2) of Rule 15c2-4; (2) did not carry accounts of or for customers; and (3) did not carry PAB accounts (as defined in Rule 15c3-3), throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception,

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 Westmoreland Capital Corporation'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 Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
