In our opinion, the statement of financial condition presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fallbrook Capital Securities Corp as of December 31, 2018 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. #### **Basis for Opinion** This financial statement is the responsibility of Fallbrook Capital Securities Corp's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Fallbrook Capital Securities Corp's financial statement based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to Fallbrook Capital Securities Corp in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement is 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 statement, 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. We have served as the Company's auditor since 2015. Goldman & Company, CPA's, P.C.

Organization and Nature of Business** Fallbrook Capital Securities Corp. (the "Company") is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA). In 2000, the Company reached an agreement with the NASD (now FINRA). The agreement was amended in March, 2007 to include additional services. The firm is approved to conduct business in private placements, limited partnerships, mutual funds, merger & acquisition activity and third party marketing of hedge funds. The Company's main office is located in Calabasas, California and has twenty-four registered persons. The Company's Revenue is derived from (1) commissions generated on a best-efforts basis, from the sale of private placements of direct participation programs of tax incentive investments to corporate and institutional investors; and (2) from fees generated from mergers and acquisitions activities, also on a best-efforts basis. ## **2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies** #### Basis of presentation The Company maintains its books and records on the accrual basis of accounting for financial reporting purposes, which is in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and is required by the SEC and FINRA. ## Use of estimates The presentation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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. #### Income taxes The Company, with the consent of its sole stockholder, has elected to be taxed as an S Corporation under Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code that provides, in lieu of corporate income taxes, the stockholder separately accounts for his share of the Company's items of income, deductions, losses and credits. Therefore, these financial statements do not include any provision for corporate income taxes. {6}------------------------------------------------ # **2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)** ## Income taxes (continued) The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Under FASB ASC 740-10, the Company is required to evaluate each of its tax positions to determine if they are more likely than not to be sustained if the taxing authority examines the respective position. A tax position includes an entity's status. The company has evaluated its tax positions and has determined that it has no uncertain tax positions for which a provision or liability for income taxes is necessary. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. in both federal and state jurisdictions. ## Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company defines cash equivalents as highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than ninety days that are not held for sale in the ordinary course of business. #### Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09 *Revenue from Contracts with Customers* and all subsequent amendments to the ASU (collectively, "ASC 606") using the modified retrospective method of adoption. ASC 606 created a single framework for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers that fall within its scope. Under ASC 606 revenue is recognized upon satisfaction of performance obligations by transferring control over goods or service to a customer. The adoption of ASC 606 did not result in any changes to beginning retained earnings for the year ended December 31, 2018 or net income for the preceding yearend. #### Subsequent Events The Company evaluated subsequent events through February 27, 2019, the date the financial statements were issued. The Company did not identify any material subsequent events requiring adjustment to or disclosure in its financial statements. ## **3. Revenue from Contracts with Customers** #### Commissions, M&A Fees and Consulting The Company provides advisory and consulting services on mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and corporate finance activity. Revenue from advisory and consulting arrangements is recognized at the point in time that performance obligations under the arrangement is completed. Contracts may contain nonrefundable retainer fees which are typically fixed and/or success fees or commissions which may be fixed or represent a percentage of value that the customer receives if and when the related corporate finance activity is completed. In some cases, there is also an "announcement fee" that is calculated on the date that a transaction is announced based on the price included in the underlying sale agreement. The retainer fees, {7}------------------------------------------------ announcement fee, or other milestone fees reduce any success fee or commission subsequently invoiced and received upon the completion of the corporate finance activity. The Company has evaluated its nonrefundable retainer payments, to ensure its fee relates to the transfer of a good or service, as a distinct performance obligation, in exchange for the retainer. If a promised good or service is not distinct, the Company combines that good or service with other promised goods or services until it identifies a bundle of goods or services that is distinct. In some cases, that would result in the broker-dealer accounting for all the services promised in a contract as a single performance obligation and the retainer revenue is classified as deferred revenue on the Statement of Financial Condition. # **4. Net Capital Requirements** The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission Uniform Net Capital Rule (SEC 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. 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. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had net capital of \$251,013 which was \$159,939 in excess of its required net capital of \$91,074. The Company's ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 5.44 to 1. The Company has been named as co-defendant in a court action initiated on October 11, 2018 in which the claimant is seeking indemnity pursuant to an Engagement Agreement between the claimant and an entity under common ownership with the Company. As of December 31, 2018 the matter has not been resolved. The Company does not believe that it has any potential liability in regard to this court action and therefore no accrual has been made in these financial statements. The Company recorded an increase to aggregate indebtedness on Schedule I for \$1,000,000 (the amount of damages sought by the claimant) at the instruction of FINRA. ## **5. Accounts receivable** Accounts receivable consists of commissions, the Company believes the entire amount is collectible and that no allowance is required as of December 31, 2018. ## **6. Concentrations** For the year ended December 31, 2018 53% of the Company's revenue was derived from one customer. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk for cash. ## **7. Commitments** The Company has evaluated commitments and contingencies and has determined that no significant commitments and contingencies exist as of December 31, 2018 except as indicated in Note 4. {8}------------------------------------------------ # **8. Related Party** The Company pays a related party through an expense sharing agreement for travel, rent, shared office costs, and payroll. The terms are one year from June 1, 2017. The amount paid on this agreement for 2018 was \$165,032. Source: SEC EDGAR via Adviser Search (https://search.stillhousedata.com). Agents: see https://search.stillhousedata.com/llms.txt.
