(the "Company") is a registered broker/dealer clearing all of its customer transactions through correspondent brokers on a fully disclosed basis. In addition, the Company operates under the provisions of Paragraph (k)(2)(ii) of Rule 15c3-3 of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and, accordingly, is exempt from the remaining provisions of that rule. The Company has offices located in Voorhees, New Jersey, Chicago, Illinois and Baltimore, Maryland. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of S&D Financial Holdings, LLC ("S&D"). S&D is owned by three partners. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of S&D Financial Holding, LLC (S&D) is owned by three partners. One partner is deceased and the partnership is now held by the Estate, one partner is an officer and one partner is a LLC. #### **[2] Basis of presentation:** The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). ## **[3] Segment Reporting:** The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a securities broker-dealer, which consist primarily of generating and distributing equity research to institutions, providing investing banking services and institutional trading. The Company has identified its President as the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), who uses net income to evaluate the results of the business and manage the Company. • Additionally, the CODM uses excess net capital (see Note G), which is not a measure of profit and loss, to make operational decisions while maintaining capital adequacy, such as whether to reinvest profits or pay distributions. The Company's operations constitute a single operating segment and therefore, a single reportable segment, because the CODM manages the business activities using information of the Company as a whole. The accounting policies used to measure the profit and loss of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The measure of segment assets is reported on the statement of financial condition as total assets at December 31, 2024. ## **[4] Receivables and related party transaction:** Receivables from clearing broker represents the net commissions receivable earned as an introducing broker for the Company's customers' transactions. As of December 31, 2024, \$49,324 receivable is due from one clearing firm. Receivables from an affiliate on the accompanying statement of financial condition include \$74,419 from the affiliate as of December 31, 2024. ## **[5] Property and equipment:** Property and equipment is stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation. Significant additions or improvements extending the asset lives are capitalized; normal maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. {11}------------------------------------------------ ## **Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2024** The Company provides for depreciation as follows: | Estimated Useful Life | | | | |------------------------|---------|----------------------|--| | Asset | | Method | | | Furniture and Fixtures | 5 Years | Straight-Line Method | | | Computer Equipment | 5 Years | Straight-Line Method | | ## **[6] Liabilities subordinated to claims of general creditors:** ## Subordinated Loan Agreement On May 28, 2018, the Company entered into a subordinated loan agreement with an unrelated party in the amount of \$850,000, approved by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA"). On July 24, 2019, FINRA approved a partial pre-payment in the amount of \$350,000. The loan matures on May 31, 2024 and bears interest at 9.5% per annum payable quarterly. On July, 29, 2020, the Company entered into a subordinated loan agreement with a related party in the amount of \$200,000, approved by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA). The loan matures on July 28, 2025 and bears interest at 9.5% per annum payable quarterly. Interest expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 was \$66,500 related to this subordinated. Accounts payable and accrued expenses on the accompanying Statement of Financial Condition as of December 31, 2024 includes \$57,001 of interest accrued on this debt. ## **[7] Revenue from contracts with customers:** On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." The Company has elected the modified retrospective method which did not result in a cumulative-effect adjustment at the date of adoption. The implementation of this new standard had no material impact on the Company's financial statements. ## *Significant Judgments* Revenue from contracts with customers consists of commission income and fees from investment banking fees from municipal underwritings. 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; 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 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. {12}------------------------------------------------ #### **Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2024** ## *Investment Banking – Municipal Underwriting Fees* The Company underwrites securities for governmental entities that want to raise funds through a sale of securities. Revenues are earned from fees arising from securities offerings in which the Company acts as an underwriter. Revenue is recognized on the trade date (the date on which the Company purchases the securities from the issuer) for the portion the Company is contracted to buy. The Company believes that the trade date is the appropriate point in time to recognize revenue for securities underwriting transactions as there are no significant actions which the Company needs to take subsequent to this date and the issuer obtains the control and benefit of the capital markets offering at that point. Underwriting costs that are deferred under the guidance in FASB ASC 940-340-25-3 are recognized in expense at the time the related revenues are recorded. ln the event that transactions are not completed and the securities are not issued, the Company immediately expenses those costs. ## *Management Services Fees* Management services fee income is recognized periodically for administrative services provided by employees of the Company to an affiliate entity. Revenue is recognized as the services are provided by the Company and consumed by the affiliate and is based on the cost of services provided in accordance with contractual arrangements. The Company believes that the performance obligation is satisfied at the point in time when the underlying service provided by the Company has been consumed because that is when the pricing is agreed upon and the services have been provided as agreed. ## *Costs to Obtain or Fulfill a Contract with a Customer* The Company records as an asset certain material costs incurred to obtain revenue contracts with its customers, such as sales commissions paid to employees for obtaining new contracts with clients. These costs are amortized to expense over the period of time that the services are expected to be provided to the customer. Immaterial costs incurred are charged to expense when incurred. As in the past, the Company has not incurred any material costs to obtain revenue contracts with its customers during the year ended December 31, 2024. The accompanying Statement of Operations presents the Company's revenue from contracts with customers disaggregated by major business activity and other sources of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024. ## **[8] Financial Instruments – Credit Loss:** In accordance with FASB ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments," the ASU adds to U.S. GAAP an impairment model (known as the current expected credit loss ("CECL") model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. The Company must recognize as an allowance, its estimate of lifetime expected credit losses, which the FASB believes will result in more timely recognition of such losses, if any. A broker- dealer's estimate of expected losses should consider the expected risk of credit loss even if that risk is remote, regardless of the method applied to estimate credit losses. {13}------------------------------------------------ ## **Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2024** A broker-dealer, however, is not required to measure expected credit losses on a financial asset (or group of financial assets) in which historical credit loss information adjusted or current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts results in an expectation that nonpayment of the amortized cost bases is remote. For financial assets measured at amortized cost (i.e. cash), the Company has concluded that there are no expected credit losses based on the nature or expected life of the financial assets and immaterial historical or expected losses. #### **[9] Use of estimates:** The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. ## **[10] Income taxes:** The Company is a corporation under the Internal Revenue Code. Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. U.S. GAAP requires companies to account for income taxes by prescribing a minimum probability threshold that an uncertain tax position must meet before a financial statement benefit is recognized. The minimum threshold is defined as a tax position that is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Management believes that there are no uncertain tax positions. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions, if any, as part of the income tax provision. There was no income tax related interest and penalties record for the year ended December 31, 2024. ## **[11] Treasury stock:** Treasury stock is accounted for under the cost method. Under the cost method, the gross cost of the shares reacquired is charged to treasury stock in the statement of financial condition. {14}------------------------------------------------ #### **Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2024** ## **NOTE B - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT** Property and equipment as of December 31, 2024 is as follows: | Furniture and fixtures | \$ 087,598 | |-------------------------------|------------| | Computer equipment | 106,503 | | | 194,101 | | Less accumulated depreciation | 173,296 | | | \$ 20,805 | Depreciation was \$5,606 for the year ended December 31, 2024. #### **NOTE C - SUBORDINATED BORROWINGS** | Description | Principal | Interest
Expense | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------|---------------------| | Subordinated loan, with a unrelated party, interest at 9.5 percent, due
May 31, 2025 | \$ 500,000 | \$ 47,500 | | Subordinated loan, with a related party, interest at 9.5 percent, due
July 28, 2025 | \$ 200,000 | \$ 19,000 | The subordinated borrowings are available in computing net capital under the SEC's uniform net capital rule. To the extent that such borrowings are required for the Company's continue compliance with minimum net capital requirements, they may not be repaid. The fair value of subordinated borrowings is \$757,001 of which \$700,000 is principal and \$57,001 is accrued interest included in accrued expenses on the statement of financial condition. #### **NOTE D - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS** The Company has a clearance agreement with one clearing broker. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company is required to maintain a minimum net capital of \$50,000. The Company has a clearing deposit of \$125,439 with this broker as of December 31, 2024 pursuant to the agreement. In the normal course of business, the Company enters into underwriting commitments. As of December 31, 2024, there were no open underwriting commitments. The Company's operations are headquartered in Voorhees, New Jersey. The Company has a lease agreement with its parent company, S&D. This agreement expires on September 30, 2024 with two, one year renewal options. Furthermore, the terms of the lease indicates that Sturdivant & Co. is exempt from recording the right to use asset. {15}------------------------------------------------ #### **Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2024** The Company maintains an office in Chicago, Illinois and Baltimore, Maryland and operates under a yearly lease agreement. Rent expense under all agreements was \$25,341 for the year ended December 31, 2024. Scheduled future minimum lease payments as of December 31, 2024 are as follows: | Year Ending December 31 | Related Party | Total | |-------------------------|---------------|-----------| | 2024 | \$ 19,920 | \$ 19,920 | #### **NOTE E- OTHER EXPENSES** Other expenses are as follows for the year ended December 31, 2024: | Travel and entertainment | \$50,293 | |--------------------------|-----------| | Professional fees | 24,907 | | IT support | 10,810 | | Dues and subscriptions | 29,350 | | Regulatory fees | 4,570 | | Other expenses | 21,697 | | | \$141,627 | #### **NOTE F - PROFIT-SHARING PLAN** Employees of the Company may participate in a profit-sharing plan, which is intended to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The plan covers substantially all of the Company's employees who meet certain eligibility requirements. Matching contributions by the Company to the plan can be made at the discretion of the Board of Directors. In addition, the plan has a profit-sharing feature, contributions to which are also at the discretion of the Board of Directors. There were no matching contributions made by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2024. #### **NOTE G - NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS** The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1), 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. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had net capital of \$135,801 which was \$85,801 in excess of its required net capital. The Company's net capital ratio was 0.37 to 1 as of December 31, 2024. #### **NOTE H - OFF BALANCE SHEET RISK AND CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK** As a nonclearing broker, the Company has its customers' transactions cleared through another broker/dealer pursuant to a clearance agreement. Nonperformance by its customers in fulfilling their contractual obligations pursuant to securities transactions with the clearing broker may expose the Company to risk and potential loss. {16}------------------------------------------------ ### **Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2024** At times, the Company may maintain a cash balance with a bank in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. ## **NOTE I - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS** The total amount receivable from S&D at December 31, 2024 is \$493,712 which includes \$500.00 of accrued interest. Effective December 2013, S&D executed a promissory note with the Company to repay the amount owed in monthly installments of \$750 of principal and interest, with the remaining balance due in a balloon payment on September 1, 2033. The note receivable accrues interest of 1% per year and is personally guaranteed by the members of S&D. Interest income on this note was \$1,500 for the year ended December 31, 2024. However, the interest income form the note should have been approximately \$3,744. The difference of \$1,944 was forgiven by Sturdivant & Co a related party to S&D. ## **NOTE J - INCOME TAXES** Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due, if any, plus deferred income taxes which include the tax consequences on future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America allow the recognition of deferred tax assets related to the anticipated benefit of net operating loss carryforwards, subject to certain valuation allowance adjustments. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has approximately \$1,077,348 of federal net operating losses and approximately \$877,646 of state net operating losses available for carryforward to future years. The carryforwards begin to expire at various dates through December 31, 2040.
