## **Note 1** - **Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

ature of Business:

Worth Financial Group Inc. (the Company) was organized in March 1983 as a Texas corporation. The Company is a broker-dealer in securities registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC). The Company is also a registered investment advisor with the state of Texas.

The Company operates under the exemptive provisions of Rule 15c3-3(k)(2)(ii) of the Securities Exchange Act of J 934, and accordingly, is exempt from the remaining provisions of that Rule. For the Company's other business activities it is considered a on-Covered Firm exempt from J 7 C.F.R. § 240. l 5c3-3. The Company does not hold customer funds or securities, carry accounts for customers or carry PAB accounts (as defined in Rule 15c3-3).

The Company's operations consist primarily of providing securities, mutual fund, and insurance brokerage services, and investment advisory services to individuals located in the state of Texas.

Significant Accounting Policies:

## Use of Estimates

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amow1ts 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.

## Fair Value of Financial Instrun1ents

Substantially all the Company's financial asset and liability amounts reported in the statement of financial condition are short-term in nature and approximate fair value.

### Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of five to seven years.

{9}------------------------------------------------

## **Note 1 - Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)**

## Revenue Recognition

## *Securities Commissions*

The Company buys and sells securities on behalf of its customers. Each time a customer enters into a buy or sell transaction, the Company charges a commission. Commissions and related clearing expenses are recorded on the trade date (the date that the Company fills the trade order by finding and contracting with a counterparty and confirms the trade with the customer). The Company believes that the performance obligation is satisfied on the trade date because that is when the underlying financial instrument or purchaser is identified, the pricing is agreed upon and the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to/from the customer. Securities commissions also include commission on, interest rebates on customer accounts, and other revenue related to customer accounts which is recorded on the trade date.

## *Insurance and Mutual Fund Commissions*

The Company enters into arrangements with pooled investment vehicles (funds) to distribute shares to investors and insurance companies to issue variable annuity contracts. The Company may receive distribution fees and variable annuity fees paid by the funds and insurance companies up front, over time, upon the investor's exit from the fund and annuity contracts (that is, a contingent deferred sales charge), or as a combination thereof. The Company believes that its performance obligation is the sale of securities or variable annuity contracts to investors and as such this is fulfilled on the trade date or variable annuity contract funding date. Any fixed amounts are recognized on the trade date and variable amounts are recognized to the extent it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur once the uncertainty is resolved. For variable amounts, as the uncertainty is dependent on the value of the shares or annuity contracts at future points in time as well as the length of time the investor remains in the fund and annuity contracts, both of which are highly susceptible to factors outside the Company's influence, the Company does not believe it can overcome this constraint until the market value of the funds and annuity contracts and the investor activities are known, which are either monthly or quarterly. Distribution and annuity contract fees recognized in the cunent period are primarily related to performance obligations that have been satisfied in prior periods.

### *Investment Advisory Fees*

The Company provides investment advisory services on a daily basis. The Company believes the performance obligation for providing advisory services is satisfied over time because the customer is receiving and consuming the benefits as they are provided by the Company. Fee arrangements are based on a percentage applied to the customer's assets under management. Fees are received monthly in arears. Fees are recognized as revenue monthly as they relate specifically to the services provided in that period, which are distinct from the services provided in other periods.

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

### **Note 1 - Nature of Business and Summarv of Signi\_ficant Accounting Policies (continued)**

#### Leases

The Company leases office space under a non-cancelable lease. 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 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.

The office space lease is included in operating lease right-of-use (ROU) asset and operating lease liability in the statement of financial condition. There are currently no finance leases.

ROU asset represents the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liability represents the 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 lease does not provide an implicit rate, to determine the present value of lease payments, management uses the Company's incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement. Operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes any lease incentives. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company's lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain the option will be exercised.

The office lease agreement includes provisions for variable rent payments, which are adjusted periodically for inflation. The office lease agreement does not contain any material residual value guarantees.

The Company has elected to apply the short-term lease exception to all leases with a term of one year or less.

#### **Note 2 - Transactions with Clearing Broker/Dealer**

The Company has a clearing agreement with a national clearing broker/dealer to provide clearing, execution and other related services. The agreement requires the Company to maintain a minimum of \$15,000 in an account with the clearing brokerdealer.

#### **Note 3** - **Net Capital Requirements**

The Company is subject to the SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1 ), which requires the maintenance of a minim urn amount of net capital and requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, shall not exceed 15 to l. Rule 15c3-1 also provides that equity capital may not be withdrawn or cash dividends paid if the resulting net capital ratio would exceed 10 to 1. At June 30, 2024, the Company had net capital of \$17,283 *which* was \$12,283 in excess of its required net capital of \$5,000. The Company's net capital ratio was 2.31 to 1.

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

## **Note 4 - Property and Equipment**

Property and equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and consists of the following:

| Furniture and fixtures   | \$<br>11,898 |
|--------------------------|--------------|
| Computer equipment       | 2.509        |
|                          | 14,407       |
| Accumulated depreciation | (12,948)     |
|                          | \$<br>1.459  |

Depreciation expense for the year totaled \$0.

## **Note 5 - Income Taxes**

The Company has a current year tax loss; therefore, there is no provision for current federal income taxes. The Company has a net operating loss carryforward of approximately \$63,000 available to offset future taxable income, which can be carried forward indefinitely. The net operating loss carryforward creates a deferred tax asset of approximately \$13,000; however, the entire amount has been offset by valuation allowance; therefore, there is no deferred tax asset recognized in the accompanying statement of financial condition.

The Company .is also subject to state income taxes.

{12}------------------------------------------------

## **Note 6 - Commitments and Contingencies**

## Office Lease

The Company leases office space under a noncancelable operating lease through February 2029. The following summarizes the line items in the statement of financial condition which include amounts for the office space lease as of June 30, 2024:

| Operating Lease    |              |
|--------------------|--------------|
| Right-of-use-asset | \$<br>72,096 |
| Lease liability    | \$<br>72,096 |

The discount rate used on the operating lease was 9.5%.

The maturities of the lease liability as of June 30, 2024, were as follows:

| Year Ending June 30:             |              |
|----------------------------------|--------------|
| 2025                             | \$<br>17,940 |
| 2026                             | 18,540       |
| 2027                             | 19,140       |
| 2028                             | 19,580       |
| 2029                             | 13,320       |
| Thereafter                       |              |
| Total lease payments             | 88,520       |
| Less: interest                   | (16,424)     |
| Present value of lease liability | \$<br>72,096 |

Operating lease expense totaled \$17,674 for the year ended June 30, 2024, and is reflected in the accompany statement of income as occupancy and equipment.

## Contingencies

There are currently no asserted claims or legal proceedings against the Company, however, the nature of the Company's business subjects it to various claims, regulatory examinations, and other proceedings in the ordinary course of business. The ultimate outcome of any such action against the Company could have an adverse impact on the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company

## **Note 7 - Concentration of Credit Risk and Revenue**

Board of Directors Worth Financial Group Inc.

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Exemption Report, in which (1) Worth Financial Group Inc. identified the following provision of 17 C.F.R. § 15c3-3(k) under which Worth Financial Group Inc. claimed the following exemption from 17 C.F.R. §240.15c3-3:(2)(ii) and (2) Worth Financial Group lnc. stated that Worth Financial Group Inc. met the identified exemption provision throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception.

The Company is also filing this Exemption Report because the Company's other business activities contemplated by Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240. I 7a-5 are limited effecting securities transactions via subscriptions on a subscription way basis where the funds are payable to the issuer or its agent and not to the Company. In addition, the Company 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 l 5c2-4 and/or funds received and promptly transmitted for effecting transactions via subscriptions on a subscription way basis where the funds are payable to the issuer or its agent and not to the Company; did not carry accounts of or for customers; and did not carry P AB accounts (as defined in Rule l 5c3-3) throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception.

Worth Financial Group Inc.'s management is responsible for compliance with the provisions contemplated by Footnote 74 of SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5 and related SEC Staff Frequently Asked Questions 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 Worth Financial Group lnc.'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 paragraph (k)(2)(ii) of Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Company's other business activities contemplated by Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5, and related SEC
