(the Company) as of December 3!, 2018 and 20!7, the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years 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 December 3 I, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. #### **Basis for Opinion** These financial statements are the responsibility ofthe Company's management.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits 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 audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. {5}------------------------------------------------ #### **Auditors' Report on Supplemental Information** The supplemental information contained in Schedules I, 2, and 3 has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audits of the Company's financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2018 and 2017 ## Note I -Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies #### Organization Bruce A. Lefavi Securities, Inc. (the "Company") is a securities broker-dealer located in Salt Lake City and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). Customers are located in states in which the Company is registered. Commission revenue is derived principally from trading in securities, mutual fund retailing, selling annuities and limited partnerships, etc. Securities transactions for customers are cleared through another broker-dealer on a fully disclosed basis. Mutual fund, annuity and limited partnership transactions are cleared through various investment companies. #### Concentrations of Credit Risk The Company's cash balances maintained with banks are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to \$250,000. The Company's account balances maintained with brokerage firms are insured up to \$500,000 by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation with a limit of \$100,000 for cash. The Company has not experienced any credit losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. The Company is engaged in various trading and brokerage activities in which counterpmties primarily include broker-dealers, banks, insurance companies, and other financial institutions. In the event counterparties do not fulfill their obligations, the Company may be exposed to risk. The risk of default depends on the creditworthiness of the counterparty or issuer of the instrument. It is the Company's policy to review, as necessary, the credit standing of each counterparty. #### Other Significant Concentrations The Company is headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah. It has no single customer that represents a significant portion of total revenue. Additionally, the Company maintains licensing and registration in a majority ofthe states in the United States. The Company receives commissions from various clearing brokers. Should the clearing brokers fail to perform according to the terms oftheir agreement, the Company would be required to seek relief through the legal system as an unsecured creditor. #### Commissions Receivable I Commissions receivable are amounts due from mutual funds and various other investment companies and are unsecured. Commissions receivable are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. No provision for losses on commissions receivable exists based on past experience. {11}------------------------------------------------ ### BRUCE A. LEF A VI SECURITIES, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2018 and 2017 ## Note 1 -Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) ## Revenue Recognition The Company invests in mutual funds, annuities and limited partnerships, etc. These transactions are accounted for as contracts with customers. The recognition of the revenue generated by these contracts are reported using the five step method of(1) identifying the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determining the contract transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations, and (5) recognizing the revenue when the Company fulfills the performance obligation, which can occur in stages or at a single point in time. #### Revenue fi·om alternative investments: The contract is established when an alternative investment contract is completed and signed by the client and approved by the principal after meeting all internal compliance and suitability guidelines. The performance obligation is met when the funds are transferred to the company offering the alternative investment. The transaction price is determined by the registered representative and the issuing company and consists of an upfi·ont commission. The transaction price is related to the purchase of a single product therefore the revenue on the upfront commission is recognized as an accounts receivable as soon as the approved contract is submitted to the company offering the investment. At this point there is a signed contract that has been submitted and the Company is reasonably certain to receive the revenue. #### Revenue fi·om annuity products: The contract is established when an annuity contract is completed and signed by the client and approved by the principal after meeting all internal compliance and suitability guidelines. The performance obligation is met when the funds are transferred to the company writing the annuity. The transaction price is determined by the registered representative and the issuing company and is usually a combination of an upfront commission and a trailing commission over the life of the annuity. The transaction price is related to the purchase of a single product. If the product has a two-piece revenue stream, an upfi·ont commission and a trailing commission, then the revenue is recorded separately. The revenue on the upfront commission is recognized as an accounts receivable as soon as the approved contract is submitted to the company issuing the annuity. At this point there is a signed contract that has been submitted and the Company is reasonably certain to receive the revenue. The revenue on the trailing commission is recognized as it is received. The payments vary based on the investment and the carrying finn. The payments can be distributed on a monthly, quarterly and/or annual basis and some are even held until a certain dollar amount has been reached, triggering the payout. These are usually minimal amounts and are based on the amount of the annuity as of a certain date. These can vary considerably based on distributions and market fluctuations. {12}------------------------------------------------ ### BRUCE A. LEFA VI SECURITIES, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 3 I, 20 I 8 and 20 17 #### Revenue from mutual fund investments: The contract is established when a mutual fund account is set up outside of our clearing finn INTL FC Stone. The new account form is signed by the client and approved by the principal after meeting all internal compliance and suitability guidelines. The performance obligation is met when the funds are transferred to the company issuing the mutual fund account. The transaction price is a percentage of the amount invested determined by the fund company as well as a 12B-1 fee paid as a percentage of the balance on a quarterly basis. The transaction price is related to the purchase of a single product. However, because the product has a two-piece revenue stream, an upfront commission and a 12B-l fee, the revenue is recorded separately. #### Revenue fi·om customer accounts held at INTL FC Stone: The contract is established when an account is set up with our clearing firm INTL FC Stone. The new account form is completed by the client and approved by the principal. The performance obligation is met when the funds are transferred to the INTL FC Stone account. The transaction price is determined by the advisor and the clearing finn. Any commissions charged are used to offset the clearing fee charged to buy or sell a particular investment held in the account. The transaction price is related to the purchase of a single fund within the INTL FC Stone account. Some of the funds have a two-piece revenue stream, an upfi·ont commission to cover the clearing cost and a 12B-1 fee, these two types of revenue are recorded separately in the financial statements. The Company receives a monthly report on the revenue and fees charged by the clearing firm INTL FC Stone. This revenue is recorded on the last day of the month based on this report and is paid out around the II th of the following month. #### Advertising Advertising costs are charged to operations when the advertising first takes place. #### Income Taxes The Company, with the consent of the stockholders, has elected under Subchapter "S" of the Internal Revenue Code to be treated substantially as a partnership instead of a corporation for income tax purposes. As a result, the shareholders report the entire corporate taxable income on their individual tax returns. In accordance with ASC 740, *Income Taxes,* management evaluates uncertain tax positions taken by the Company. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating potential tax positions and tax benefits. Tax positions are recognized only when it is more likely than not (likelihood of greater than 50%), based on technical merits, that the positions will be sustained upon examination. Reserves are established if it is believed certain positions may be challenged and potentially disallowed. If facts and circumstances change, reserves are adjusted through a provision for income taxes. If interest expense and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits were to occur, they would also be recognized in the provision for income taxes. {13}------------------------------------------------ ## BRUCE A. LEFA VI SECURITIES, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2018 and 2017 ## Note I -Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) ## Cash Flows For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company has defined cash equivalents as highly liquid investments, with original maturities of three months or less that are not held for sale in the ordinary course of business. ## Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The process of preparing the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts. ## Application of Accounting Standards In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue fi·om Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASU 20 14-09"). ASU 2014-09 clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue by establishing the core principle that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of 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. ASU 2014-09 also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized. The amendments in ASU 2014-09, as updated by ASU No. 2015-14, are effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2018. The new revenue recognition accounting standard has been applied in these financial statements using the cumulative method and caused no material impact on revenue recognized. ## Future Application of Accounting Standards In February 2016, the F ASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) which has subsequently been amended by ASU 2018-0 I, 2018-10 and 2018-11. The guidance requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities for leases previously classified as operating leases under GAAP. The new guidance is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2019. The only material leasing arrangements the Company is engaged in consist of a lessee agreement for the current office space and office equipment. These leases are currently being accounted for as operating leases and we do not anticipate that the adoption of this new guidance will have a notable impact on the results of operations, however we are still evaluating the impact of this guidance. {14}------------------------------------------------ ## BRUCE A. LEFA VI SECURITIES INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2018 and 2017 ## Note l -Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) #### Reclassifications Certain revenue accounts in the 2017 financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the presentation in the 2018 financial statements. ## Note 2- Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities Accounts payable and accrued liabilities consist of the following: | | 2018 | 2017 | |----------------------------------|--------------|--------| | Legal fees & settlements payable | \$
