# CAPITAL PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31 , 2023

# 1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Significant accounting policies followed by Capital Portfolio Management, Inc. (the Company) as summarized below conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The significant accounting policies are summarized as follows:

# A. Nature of Operations

The Company is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).

The Company was incorporated in Maryland on August 14, 1991.

The Company is a securities broker-dealer, which comprises several classes of services including principal transactions and agency transactions. The Company is also licensed to sell life insurance and annuity policies.

The Company forwards all security transactions to their clearing firm, which carries and clears such transactions for the Company on a fully disclosed basis. The Company utilizes Hilltop Securities, a Hilltop Holdings Company, as their clearing firm.

# B. 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

#### C. Revenue Recognition

Profit and loss arising from all securities transactions entered into for the account and risk of the Company are recorded on a trade date basis at fair value and are reflected in principal transactions in revenues in the statement of income. Trading gains and losses are recorded using the average cost method.

Commission revenue and related clearing expenses are recorded on a trade date basis.

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

# CAPITAL PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED March 31, 2023

# 1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued

# D. Office Equipment

Cost of office equipment is \$28,159 as of March 31, 2023 and the assets are fully depreciated as of March 31, 2023. Depreciation of office equipment is determined by use of the straight line method over five to seven years.

The Company's policy is to capitalize property and equipment expenditures of \$5,000 or more. Maintenance and repairs that do not significantly improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are charged to operations when incurred. When items of property are sold or retired, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in operations.

## E. Allowance for Bad Debts

The Company uses the direct write-off method for bad debts. Receivables are charged against income when management determines them to be uncollectable. Potential uncollectable receivables at year end are considered immaterial and therefore, no allowance for doubtful accounts has been established.

#### F. Income Taxes

The Company files its tax return using the cash basis of accounting. Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred taxes on temporary differences between the amount of taxable income and pretax income and between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and the corresponding reported amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities included in the financial statements are calculated utilizing currently enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities included in the financial statements are expected to be realized as prescribed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (F ASB) guidance.

The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes in accordance with F ASB guidance. Using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more-thanlikely-then-not the positions will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had no uncertain tax positions, or interest and penalties that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. With limited exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examination for any years prior to March 31 , 2018 for federal and state purposes.

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

# CAPITAL PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED March 31 , 2023

# 1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued

## G. Statement of Cash Flows

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company has defined cash equivalents as cash in checking accounts and held in cash accounts at the clearing firm. It does not include security deposits held as cash.

#### H. Employee Benefits

Compensated absences are generally taken as earned and do not represent a material amount. Accordingly, the Company has not accrued compensated absences.

#### I. Retirement Plan

The Company offers a Simple IRA retirement plan for its employees. Each participating employee is permitted to contribute a portion of his compensation to the plan. Within plan limits, the Company is required to contribute on behalf of each eligible participant a matching percentage of the participant's salary. The Company funded \$6,750 to the plan for the year ended March 31 , 2023.

#### J. Advertising

Advertising costs for the fiscal year were \$2,685. These costs are expensed as incurred.

## K. Adoption of New Accounting Standard- Leases

The Company adopted the standard effective April 1, 2022, and recognized and measured leases existing on April 1, 2022 (the beginning of the period of adoption) through a cumulative effect adjustment, with certain practical expedients available.

The Company elected the available practical expedients to account for existing capital leases and operating leases as finance leases and operating leases, respectively, under the new guidance, without reassessing (a) whether the contracts contain leases under the new standard, (b) whether classification of capital leases or operating leases would be different in accordance with the new guidance, or ( c) whether the unamortized initial direct costs before transition adjustment would have met the definition of initial direct costs in the new guidance at lease commencement.

{13}------------------------------------------------

# CAPITAL PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED March 31, 2023

# 1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued

# 1. Adoption of New Accounting Standard- Leases - Continued

As a result of the adoption of the new lease accounting guidance, the Company recognized the following as of April 1, 2022:

- a) Operating lease liabilities of \$284,206, which represent the present value of the remaining lease payments discounted using the Company's risk-free discount rate;
- b) Right-of-use ("ROU") assets which represent the original lease payable of \$284,206.

The standard had a material impact on the statement of financial position but did not have an impact on the statement of operations or statement of cash flows. The most significant impact was the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating leases, while the accounting for finance leases remained substantially unchanged.

#### 2. Fair Value Measurements

The F ASB accounting topic on fair value measurements and disclosures provides the framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy with F ASB guidance are described as follows:

- Level 1 Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market. This level includes common stocks, corporate bonds, mutual funds, or money market funds based on the closing price reported in the active market where the securities are traded.
- Level 2 Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation, or other means.
- Level 3 Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement

{14}------------------------------------------------

#### CAPITAL PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED March 31 , 2023

#### 3. Fair Value Measurements - Continued

The Company's assets recorded at fair value include certain investments segregated and on deposit with a clearing organization and securities owned. The Company uses prices obtained from an independent clearing firm to measure the fair value of ce1iain investment securities. The Company validates prices received from the clearing firm using various methods including comparison to quoted market prices, where available, and review of other relevant market data including implied yields of major categories of securities. The Company does not adjust the prices received from the independent clearing firm unless such prices are inconsistent with F ASB guidance and result in a material difference in the recorded amounts. At March 31, 2023 the Company did not adjust prices received from the independent clearing firm.

#### 7. Leases

The Company leases office space under an operating lease. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities on the statement of financial position. Finance leases are included in finance lease ROU assets and finance lease liabilities on the statement of financial position. At March 31, 2023, there were no finance lease ROU assets or liabilities.

ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, a risk-free rate based on the information available at commencement date is used in determining the present value of lease payments. The company estimates its incremental borrowing rate of 4% over the remaining lease term of 3 years based on information available at the lease commencement in determining the present value of future payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonable certain that the option will be exercised. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Current lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

| 2025  | 94,564       |
| 2026  | 7 899        |
| Total | \$ 194,273   |

The Company has elected to apply the short-term lease exemption to leases of storage space. During the year there was one lease that qualifies for the exemption. The short-term lease cost recognized and disclosed for this lease is \$750.

## 8. Credit Risk

In the normal course of business, the Company's securities activities through its clearing firm involve execution, settlement and financing of various securities transactions for customers. These activities may expose the Company to risk in the event customers, other brokers and dealers, bank depositories or clearing organizations are unable to fulfill contractual obligations.

The Company does not have any significant concentration in the value of business with a particular customer, group of customer or product.

The Company has concentrated its credit risk by maintaining deposits in a financial institution of its clearing broker. The deposits at the financial institution may at times exceed amounts covered by the insurance provided by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Company (FDIC). The deposits at the clearing broker may at times exceed amounts covered by insurance provided by the Securities Investment Protection Corporation (SIPC).

#### 9. Related Party Transactions

During the year the Company made advances to one of its common stockholders. These advances are payable on demand and bear no interest. As of March 31, 2023 the Company advanced \$104,933 to the stockholder.

The guidance defines guarantees as contracts and indemnification agreements that contingently require a guarantor to make payments to the guaranteed party based on changes in an underlying obligation that is related to an asset, liability or equity security of a guaranteed party. The F ASB guidance also defines guarantees as contracts that contingently require the guarantor to make payments to the guaranteed party based on another entity's failure to perform under an agreement as well as indirect guarantees of the indebtedness of others.

The Company guarantees all of the customer margin account balances held by its clearing broker. The Company is responsible for payment to its clearing broker for any loss, liability, damage, cost or expense incurred as a result of customers failing to comply with margin or margin maintenance calls on all margin accounts. The margin account balance held by the clearing broker as of March 31, 2023 was \$925,000. In the event of any customer default, the Company has rights to the underlying collateral provided. Given the existence of underlying collateral provided as well as the negligible historical credit losses, the Company does not maintain any loss reserve.

### 11. Regulatory Requirements

The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission's unifom1 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 shall not exceed 15 to 1.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company's net capital was \$99,319 which exceeded the capital requirements of \$50,000 by \$49,3 19 and its net capital ratio was .337 to 1.
