#### Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the shareholders of JRL Capital Corporation

#### Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of JRL Capital Corporation (the "Company") as of December 31, 2019, the related statement of Income, changes in stockholder's equity, 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 the Company as of December 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 JRL Capital Corporation 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 f1·aud. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to etTOr or fraud, and perfom1ing 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

TI1e information contained in Schedule I, II, and III ("Supplemental Information") has been subject 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 detennining 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, Schedules I, II, and Ill are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

# NOTE 1 -ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

#### Nature of Business

JRL Capital Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated in California on June 4, 1981. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of JRL Capital Management Group ("CMG").

The Company is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") as a broker/dealer in securities and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). The Company is exempt from the provisions of Rule 15c3-3 (pursuant to paragraph (k)(2)(ii) of such rule) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as the Company provides securities brokerage services through a smaller number of registered representatives licensed with the firm. The Company does not maintain its own securities accounts, hold customer funds or securities or perfonn custodial functions related to the securities transactions. Because of such exemption, the Company is not required to prepare a determination of reserve requirements and possession or control requirements of Rule 15c3-3.

#### Liquidity and Risks

As a small Firm, the Company relies on a smaller group of registered representatives to generate its operating cash flow, as opposed to firms with larger numbers ofrepresentatives.

The Company's ability to continue in existence is dependent on, among other factors, the Company's ability to continue to generate adequate cash flows from transactional investment operations and from debt and equity financing to fund its operations - neither debt nor equity infusions have been needed in recent past. The Company has addressed the factors mentioned above by focusing on its business plan to increase its transactional business and its customer base. Management believes d1at this plan is sufficient to allow the Company to adequately fund its operations on an annual basis. In the event dtat additional funds are required, CMG has committed to provide such funding.

#### Registration

The Company must register with each state department that governs compliance with securities laws for the states in which it does business. Tite Company generates a substantial amount of commission income in the State of California. Various regulatory requirements exist in each state with which the Company must comply. Should the Company violate certain state securities laws, it could be prohibited from doing business in that state.

# Concentrations of Credit Risk

#### *Cash and cash equivalents*

The Company maintains its cash balances at fmancial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk related to these deposits.

#### *Customers*

In the nonnal course of business, the Company's customer activities involve the provision of securities brokerage services through the registered representatives licensed with the Company. This is facilitated by entering into "selling group and clearing agreements" with product sponsors and/or trading/custodian finns that enable the Company's representatives to sell financial products to clients. These activities may expose the Company to off-balance-sheet credit risk in the event the customer is unable to fulfill its contracted obligations, which to-date has never happened. The Company mitigates this risk by dealing with product sponsors and/or trading/custodian finns through an extensive review process.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, there was a decrease in overall revenue of 18% with most ofthe decrease due to the activity in two product categories - the I 031 Exchange and the Private Placement securities sales. The decrease is a result of having an inordinately large exchange transactions in 20 18 that was not repeated in 2019, however the activity in 1031 transactions was still robust in 2019. Additionally, one of the main product offerings of the Finn was not available for a number of months causing a precipitous drop in sales. Still, the transactional business in these alternative investments accounted for 62% of the Company's commissions revenues. This trend is a confinnation that the additional focus of the Finn in the alternative investment categories is continuing to be successful. As of December 31, 2019, revenues from over twenty-five product sponsors and trading/custodian firms totaled 66% of the total revenues of the Firm, which indicates a broad diversity in revenue sources, combined with lower overall Due Diligence costs incurred. While it is possible to correlate a drop in customer activity to a decrease in revenue, the current increased activity in alternative investment needs of the customer base and the addition of new representatives to the Firm roster should continue to drive successful numbers to the Firm's revenue base. If the Company's customers decreased their activity, the reduction in commissions could have a significant impact on the Company's commissions and operations. The Company records an allowance for doubtful receivables based on certain factors, including the length of time the receivables are past due and historical collection experience with customers. An allowance for doubtful receivables was not necessary at December 31,2019.

#### Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or Jess to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are recorded at cost. which approximates fair value.

## Revenue Recognition

For securities brokerage services, the Company recognizes commission revenue on a trade-date basis. For commissions revenue related to real estate and private placement transactions, revenue is recognized upon closing of escrow. Other revenues consist primarily of reimbursement for due diligence costs and revenues earned on marketing assistance programs with third party securities/annuities companies. The Company recognizes these revenues upon notification from the third-party securities/annuity companies of these fees.

## Income Taxes

The Company files as part of a consolidated return of JRL Capital Management Group the Parent Company. The amount of current and deferred taxes payable or refundable is recognized as of the date of the financial statements as if the Company were a separate taxpayer in accordance with the accounting guidance for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax benefits or consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided for signifiCant deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not, that such assets will not be realized through future operations.

The Company recognizes any uncertain tax positions on income tax returns at the largest amount that is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. There are no unrecognized tax benefits as of the date of adoption. There are no unrecognized tax benefits included in the statement of financial condition that would, if recognized, affect the effective tax rate. The Company's policy is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company had no amounts accrued for interest and penalties on its statement of financial condition at December 3 I, 2019.

The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S and State of California. The Company does not foresee material changes to its gross uncertain income tax position liability within the next twelve months. The Company is no longer subject to IRS or state examinations prior to 2014.

#### NOTE 1 -ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

# Use of Estimates

The preparation of the 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 the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the recorded amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates made by the Company's management include but are not limited to, the collectibi1ity of receivables and the realize-ability of deferred tax assets. Actual r:esults could differ from those estimates.

#### Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated and detennined that no events have occurred subsequent to the statement of financial condition date and through the date of issuance of these financial statements, which would require inclusion or disclosure in its financial statements other than as described in the accompanying notes.

# NOTE 2-INCOME TAXES

For the year ended December 31, 2019, the provision for income taxes consists of the following:

| Federal:          |       |
|-------------------|-------|
| Current           | \$    |
| Deferred          |       |

# NOTE 3-RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

l11e Company has cost sharing arrangements for certain operating costs with CMG. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements may not be indicative of the financial position or results of operations that would have occmred had the Company operated without this affiliation.

CMG provided the Company with office space, miscellaneous office expenses, due diligence and recruiting support. The Company incurred a total of \$11 0, 158 in related party expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019. This was an overall decrease in related party expenses in 2019 primarily due to the decrease in sales and the fact that the expenses that the Parent used to incur on behalf of the Broker-Dealer were relegated to third-party resources which were recorded as cost of goods sold as they were directly tied to the income generated by transactional business. As was noted in previous years there was and will likely continue to be a slight increase in total related party expenses primarily due to the increase in recruiting efforts of management. At December 31, 2019, the Company has no amount recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses related to other related party expenses to CMG. Additionally, in the future increases and decreases in the due diligence expenses tied to Direct Private Partnership and I 031 Exchange business will be tied more closely to the overall transactional activity of the Firm and expenses incurred through CMG. These costs were reimbursed to CMG from the revenue generated by these transactions.

#### NOTE 4 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

#### Indemnities and Guarantees

l11e Company has made certain indemnities and guarantees as part of traditional dealer Agreements, under which it may be required to make payments to a guaranteed or indemnified party, in relation to cancelled or failed transactions. l11e Company also indemnifies its director to the maximum extent permitted under the laws of the State of California. The duration of these indemnities and guarantees varies and, in certain cases, is indefinite. These indemnities and guarantees do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make. Historically, the Company has not been obligated to make any payments for any of these obligations and as such no liabilities have been recorded for these indemnities and guarantees in the accompanying statement of financial condition.

The Company, on occasion, consults with securities counsel regarding questions related to operations or securities matters. Further there is the possibility that the Firm could be involved from time to time in arbitration or claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. While the ultimate liability, if any, arising from these claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that the resolution of these matters would not likely have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial statements. No litigation or claims are ongoing or anticipated as of December 31 , 2019.

## REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Larry R. Law, CEO JRL Capital Corporation

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying JRL Capital Corporation Exemption Report in which (I) JRL Capital Corporation, identified the following provisions of 17 C.F.R. § 15c3-3(k) under which JRL Capital Corporation claimed an exemption from 17 C.F.R. §240.15c3-3: (k)(2)(ii), (k)( I), k(2)(i) (the "exemption provision") and (2) Company, stated that JRL Capital Corporation met the identified exemption provision throughout the most recent fiscal year of 2019, without exception. JRL Capital Corporation management is responsible for compliance with the exemption provision 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 exemptio11 provision. 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)(ii), (k)( I), k(2)(i) of Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
