The Company's securities are cleared through a clearing broker-dealer. The Company does not maintain customers' security accounts nor does it perform custodial functions related to customer securities. Basis of Presentation - The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a securities broker-dealer, which comprises several classes of services. The Company's policy is to prepare its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company charges certain expenses to its brokers including occupancy, insurance, regulatory and exchange fees and professional fees. The expenses in the Statement of Income are presented net of chargebacks. Securities Transactions - Commission revenues from securities transactions are recognized on a trade-date basis. Accounts Receivable-Brokers - Accounts receivable brokers consists of non-secured advances to brokers and allocable operating expenses charged to brokers which will be repaid with future commissions. Bad Debts - The Company records an allowance for doubtful receivables in amounts equal to the estimated collection losses that will be incurred. Management considers all accounts receivable collectible at December 31, 2022, therefore no allowance is required. Furniture and Equipment - Furniture and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, primarily 5-10 years, using the straight-line method. Depreciation expense was \$I, 180 in 2022. Commissions - Commissions and related clearing expenses are recorded on a trade-date basis as securities transactions occur. Investment Advisory Income - Investment advisory fees are recognized as earned on a pro rata basis over the term of the contract. Cash - For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash includes cash on deposit with federally insured commercial banks, cash on deposit with clearing brokers, and certificates of deposit with original maturities of three months or less. {10}------------------------------------------------ ## **Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2022** ### **NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies** (Continued) Use of Estimates - The presentation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Leases - In accordance with ASC 842, operating lease liabilities and their corresponding rightof-use assets are initially recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected remaining lease term. Certain adjustments to the right-of-use asset may be required for items such as incentives received. The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As a result, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate to discount lease payments, which reflects the fixed rate at which the Company could borrow on a collateralized basis the amount of the lease payments in the same currency, for a similar term, in a similar economic environment. Prospectively, the Company will adjust the right-of-use assets for straight-line rent expense or any incentives received and remeasure the lease liability at the net present value using the same incremental borrowing rate that was in effect as of the lease commencement or transition date. The Company has elected not to recognize leases with an original term of one year or less on the statement of financial condition. The Company typically only includes an initial lease term in its assessment of a lease arrangement. Options to renew a lease are not included in the Company's assessment unless there is reasonable certainty that the Company will renew. Assumptions made by the Company at the commencement date are re-evaluated upon occurrence of certain events, including a lease modification. A lease modification results in a separate contract when the modification grants the lessee an additional right of use not included in the original lease and when lease payments increase commensurate with the standalone price for the additional right of use. When a lease modification results in a separate contract, it is accounted for in the same manner as a new lease. Maturities of lease liabilities under operating leases as of December 31, 2022 are as follows: | 2023 | \$
44,241 | |-----------------------------------|--------------| | 2024 | 3,150 | | Total Undiscounted Lease Payments | 47,391 | | Less interest | (483) | | Total Lease Liabilities | \$
46,908 | {11}------------------------------------------------ # **Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2022** ## **NOTE 1** - **Summary of Significant Accounting Policies** (Continued) Leases accounted for under ASC 842 include the lease of office space under a five-year agreement expiring in 2023 and the lease of office equipment under a 63-month agreement expiring in 2024. The total lease cost associated with these leases for the year ended December 31, 2022 was \$54,836. Deposits Held In Financial Institutions - The Company maintains its cash balances in bank deposit accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. These accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to \$250,000 per institution and did exceed the federally insured limit at December 31, 2022. Subsequent Events - Subsequent events have been evaluated through February 10, 2023, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued. ### **NOTE 2** - **Related Party Transactions** The Company has made unsecured non-interest-bearing advances to stockholders of \$37,939 as of December 31, 2022. ### **NOTE 3** - **Retirement Plan** The Company maintains a Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees of Small Employers. The Company did not contribute to the plan in 2022. ### **NOTE 4** - **Income Taxes** The Company has elected "S" Corporation status. Accordingly, all tax attributes are passed through to the stockholders for both federal and state income-tax purposes. The Company has implemented the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASC 740, *Income Taxes.* Using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more-likely-than-not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more-likely-than-not the positions will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions initially and subsequently need to be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the positions and relevant facts. It also provides guidance for derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. {12}------------------------------------------------ ## **Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2022** ### **NOTE 4 - Income Taxes** (Continued) As of December 31, 2022, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements and has incurred no interest or penalties related to unrecognized tax liabilities. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2019. ### **NOTE 5 - Net Capital Requirement** The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission's Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule l 5c3-1 ), which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, shall not exceed 15 to **1** (and the rule of the "applicable" exchange 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 December 31, 2022, the Company had net capital of \$105,417, which was \$83,500 in excess of its required net capital of \$21,917. The Company's ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 3.12 to 1 at December 31, 2022. #### **NOTE 6 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers** The Company has adopted ASU 2014-09, *"Revenue from Contracts with Customers."* This ASU requires the Company to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. This standard also specifies the accounting for certain costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with customers. Revenue from contracts with customers includes commission income, variable annuity contracts and fees from asset management services. The recognition and measurement of revenue is based on the assessment of individual contract terms. Significant judgment is required to determine whether performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time; how to allocate transaction prices where multiple performance obligations are identified; when to recognize revenue based on the appropriate measure of the Company's progress under the contract; whether revenue should be presented gross or net of certain costs; and whether constraints on variable consideration should be applied due to uncertain future events. *Brokerage 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 at a point in time (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 of the securities have been transferred to/from the customer. {13}------------------------------------------------ ## **Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2022** ### **NOTE 6 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers** (Continued) *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 quarterly and are recognized as revenue at that time as they relate specifically to the services provided in that period, which are distinct from the services provided in other periods. *Variable Annuity Contracts* - The Company purchases insurance based products in the form of variable annuity contracts on behalf of its customers. Each time a customer enters into one of these contracts, the Company earns a commission. The Company believes that the performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time (the contract date) because that is when the underlying financial instrument is identified, the pricing is agreed upon and the risks and rewards of ownership of the contract have been transferred to the customer. #### *Disaggregated revenue from contracts with Customers* The following table presents revenue by major source. | Commissions: | | |----------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------| | Other Securities Commissions | | | Reits | \$
