Equities and options on equities are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.

#### Revenue Recognition

All commission revenue is recognized on the date in which the transactions associated with the commissions are completed (settlement date). US GAAP requires revenue to be recognized on the date in which the transactions associated with the commissions are earned (trade date). Generally, there is no material difference between settlement date and trade date in the recognition of revenue. Unrealized gains and losses on securities held at year end are included in gains (losses) from principal transactions in the statement of operations. Amounts receivable and payable from securities transactions that have reached their contractual settlement date are recorded net on the statement of financial condition.

#### Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method to calculate deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred taxes are recognized based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company records a valuation allowance against a deferred tax asset when it is more likely that not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The Company has adopted the authoritative guidance under ASC Topic 740, "Income Taxes," relating to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. This standard prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken by the Company. As of December 31, 2022, the Company determined that it had no uncertain tax positions which affected its financial position and its results of operations or its cash flows and will continue to evaluate for uncertain tax positions in the future. The Company's federal, state and local tax returns are open to examination for the last three years.

#### Deposits with Clearing Organizations

Deposits with clearing organizations represent cash deposited with Vision Axos, Velox, Wedbush and ABN for the purposes of supporting clearing and settlement activities. At December 31, 2022, the Company maintained deposits of \$360,000 with Vision, \$100,000 with Axos, \$1,000,000 with Wedbush and \$100,000 with ABN.

#### Note 3. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as 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 (an exit price). Fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, a fair value hierarchy is established that distinguishes between: (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs); and (2) the reporting entity's own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). Valuation techniques used to measure fair value shall maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels, as follows:

Level 1: inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date. An active market for the asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following:

- a. Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
- b. Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active;
- c. Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;
- d. Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3: inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk). Unobservable inputs are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances, which might include the reporting entity's own data.

However, market participant assumptions cannot be ignored and, accordingly, the reporting entity's own data used to develop unobservable inputs are adjusted if information is reasonably available without undue cost and effort that indicates that market participants would use different assumptions.

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Company's investments by fair value hierarchy as described above as of December 31, 2022:

# NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

#### December 31, 2022

No significant residual value is estimated for the intangible assets. Aggregate depreciation and amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 totaled \$26,992 and \$1,722,314, respectively.

#### Note 6. Income Taxes

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the period in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the limited level of historical taxable income under the current corporate structure, and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management cannot predict when the Company will realize the benefits of the net operating loss carryforwards and accordingly has applied a valuation allowance of approximately \$8,500,000 against its deferred tax asset.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company's net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state and local tax purposes were approximately \$34,000,000 and \$25,000,000, respectively, which are available to offset future federal and state and local taxable income, if any.

#### Note 7. CARES Act Loan Payable

In February 2021, the Company received a loan from BMO Harris Bank, N.A. in the amount of \$635,700 under the Paycheck Protection Program established by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. The loan was subject to a note dated February 8, 2021 and was eligible for forgiveness to the extent proceeds of the loan were used for eligible expenditures such as payroll and other expenses described in the CARES Act. The loan was entirely forgiven by the Small Business Administration in February 2022.

#### Note 8. Employee Benefits

The Company has a defined contribution plan under 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The plan covers all employees who have attained the age of 21 and provides for participants to defer salary amounts up to statutory limits. The Company is allowed to make discretionary matching contributions based on the salary deferrals contributed by each participant. A matching contribution in the amount of \$161,743 was made for the year ended December 31, 2022.

#### Note 9. Commitments

The Company is obligated under a noncancelable operating lease for its corporate headquarters that expires on November 30, 2026. The Company is also obligated under a noncancelable operating lease for an additional regional office location that expires on November 30, 2023. Rental expense under the leases was approximately \$666,904 for the year ended December 31, 2022. Minimum rent payments required under the noncancelable operating lease for the year ending December 31, 2023 are \$512,112.

#### Recent Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02 "Leases (Topic 842)," which establishes a comprehensive new lease accounting model. The new standard: (a) clarifies the definition of a lease; (b) requires a dual approach to lease classification similar to current lease classifications; and (c) causes lessees to recognize leases o the

balance sheet as a lease liability with a corresponding right-of-use asset for leases with a lease term of more than 12 months. The new standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, including a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11 "Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements," an update which provides another transition method, in addition to the existing modified retrospective transition method, by allowing entities to initially apply the new lease standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company adopted Topic 842 effective November 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective method and will not restate comparative periods. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has a lease liability of \$512,112 with a corresponding right-of-use asset of the same amount on its Statement of Financial Condition. Management believes that the new lease standard does not have a significant impact on the Company's Statement of Operations.

#### Note 10. Contingencies and Guarantees

As of December 31, 2022, management of the Company believes that there are no contingencies (other than the noncancelable lease agreements in Note 8) or guarantees that may result in a loss or future obligation.

#### Note 11. Net Capital Requirements

The Company is subject to the SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule ("Rule 15c3-1"). Accordingly, the Company is required to maintain a minimum level of net capital (as defined) of \$250,000 and requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, as both defined, shall not exceed 15 to 1. The Company is also subject to the net capital requirements under Regulation 1.17 of the Commodity Exchange Act. In accordance with these rules, the Company is required to maintain defined minimum net capital equal to \$1,000,000. At December 31, 2022, the Company had net capital of \$4,531,022, which was in excess of required net capital by \$3,531,022. At December 31, 2022, the Company's ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 0.718 to 1.

#### Note 12. Off-Balance-Sheet Credit Risk and Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash on deposit at its banks. Balances at its banks are generally insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to \$250,000. At December 31, 2022, the Company had approximately \$3,624,000 in excess of FDIC insured limits.

#### Note 13. Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued. In the normal course of business and at any given time, the Company may be involved in or the subject of investigations or regulatory reviews, which may or may not seek settlements, fines, penalties, or other regulatory relief.
