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 fraud. 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. {3}------------------------------------------------ # **Auditor's Report on Supplemental Information** The supplemental information (Schedule I, Computation of Net Capital Under Rule 15c3-1; Schedule II, Computation for Determination of Reserve Requirements Under Rule 15c3-3 (exemption); Schedule III, Information for Possession or Control Requirements Under Rule 15c3-3 (exemption)), has been subjected to the auditing procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Company's financial statements.

Organization and Nature of Business** Aegis Investments, Inc. (the Company) is a non-carrying broker-dealer registered with the SEC and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). The Company is a Minnesota Corporation. ### **2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies** This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company's management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles. ### Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates. #### Cash Equivalents - The Company considers securities with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. ### Accounts Receivable - Accounts receivable consists of amounts due from contracts with customers where the performance obligation was completed by the end of the fiscal year but funds were not received until after the fiscal year end. Based on management's assessment of history of collections, it has concluded that realization losses on balances outstanding will be immaterial. Therefore, there was no allowance for doubtful accounts recorded in the financial statements at December 31, 2021. Accounts receivable balances consisted of the following: | 12/31/21 | 12/31/20 | |----------|----------| | \$5,625 | \$6,018 | ### Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method for both financial reporting and income tax accounting purposes over useful lives of five or seven years. #### Income Taxes - The provision for income tax in the financial statements relates to the items of income and expenses included in such statements. #### Concentrations of Credit Risk - The Company does not believe that it is exposed to any significant credit risk in connection with the extension of credit to its customers. Historically, the Company has had no bad debt write offs. #### Commissions - Commissions and related clearing expenses are recorded on a trade-date basis as securities transactions occur. {9}------------------------------------------------ # **AEGIS INVESTMENTS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2021** ## **2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)** ### Revenue Recognition In May 20I4 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2014-09 *Revenue from Contracts with Customers* which is based on the principle that revenue is recognized 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. The ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 for the year ending December 31, 2020. Management has determined this ASU did not have a significant impact on the financial statements. Revenue is measured based on the amount of consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when and as performance obligations are satisfied. Commissions earned on securities transactions and mutual fund servicing fees are recorded on a settlement-date basis. ## Subsequent Events - The Company evaluates events or transactions that occur subsequent to year end for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements through the date on which the financial statements are available to be issued. The financial statements were approved by management and available to be issued on February 25, 2022. ### **3. Earnings Per Share** Earnings per share were computed based upon the weighted average shares outstanding. The weighted average shares outstanding at December 31, 2021, were 2,200 common shares. ### **4. Commitments and Contingencies** The Company leases office space in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The term of the lease commenced on September 1, 2021 and terminates on August 31, 2022. The approximate aggregate minimum annual rental and lease commitments of the Company on the office lease are as follows: December 31, 2022 \$ 9,200 ### **5. Income Taxes** The Company has adopted FASB ASC 740-10-25, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. The Company will record a liability for uncertain tax positions when it is more likely than not that a tax position would not be sustained if examined by the taxing authority. The Company continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings. The Company's evaluation on December 31, 2021 revealed no uncertain tax positions that would have a material impact on the financial statements. The 2018 through 2021 tax years remain subject to examination by the IRS. The Company does not believe that any reasonably possible changes will occur within the next twelve months that will have a material impact on the financial statements. {10}------------------------------------------------ ## **AEGIS INVESTMENTS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2021** ## **6. Minimum Capital Requirements** The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Uniform Net Capital Rule (SEC Rule 15c3-1), which requires the maintenance of minimum 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 \$103,004, which was \$98,004 in excess of its required net capital of \$5,000. In addition, the Company's ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 30.19 to 1. # **7. Fair Value** All of the Company's financial assets and liabilities are carried at market value or at amounts, which, because of their short-term nature, approximate current fair value. # **8. Related Party Transactions** During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, the Company paid commissions and consulting fees in the amount of \$40,683 to a family member of the owner. In addition, the Company paid commissions to the owner during the year in the amount of \$12,884. # **9. Accounting Pronouncements** In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, *Leases (Topic 842)*, for reporting leases, which requires an entity that is a lessee to classify leases as either finance or operating and to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases that have a term of greater than 12 months. Leases of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases. The new standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2022, with early adoption permitted, and must be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its financial statements. {11}------------------------------------------------ # **AEGIS INVESTMENTS, INC.
