Sanderlin Securities, L.L.C. December 31, 2021

### **1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

#### Nature of Operations

Sanderlin Securities, L.L.C. (the Company), a Tennessee limited liability company, operates in Tennessee as a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) registered broker-dealer and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). The Company began operations as a registered broker-dealer on January 29, 2001.

The Company has an agreement (Clearing Agreement) with a clearing broker to clear securities transactions and perform certain recordkeeping functions. Safekeeping services for customer securities are provided by the clearing broker on a fully disclosed basis. Accordingly, the Company operates under the exemptive provisions of SEC Rule 15c3-3(k)(2)(ii). The Clearing Agreement may be cancelled by either party 45 days after receipt of written notice.

#### Limited Liability Company/Income Taxes

The financial statements include only those assets, liabilities and results of operations that relate to the business of Sanderlin Securities, L.L.C. The financial statements do not include any assets, liabilities, revenues or expenses attributable to the members' individual activities.

As a limited liability company, each member's liability is limited to amounts reflected in their respective member accounts.

As a limited liability company, the net income of the Company is not subject to federal income tax. The members report the net income of the Company on their personal income tax returns.

State income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related to differences between the financial and income tax bases of assets and liabilities. The deferred tax assets and liabilities, if any, represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). No amounts have been recognized or disclosed related to uncertain tax positions. The Company would record interest expense and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as interest expense and other operating expense, respectively. Income tax returns for fiscal years ending on or after December 31, 2018 are subject to examination by taxing authorities.

{10}------------------------------------------------

Sanderlin Securities, L.L.C. December 31, 2021

#### Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with 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 the revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Material estimates, that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near future, relate to the determination of fair value of municipal securities owned.

The fair value of municipal securities is obtained by management from third party providers. These valuations are subject to fluctuations caused by current market conditions and other matters. It is reasonably possible that the fair value of municipal securities could change materially in the near term.

#### Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash consists of deposits with banks and all highly liquid investments, with maturities of three months or less, that are not segregated and deposited for regulatory purposes.

#### Furniture and Equipment

Furniture and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed using accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

#### Securities Transactions and Revenue Recognition

#### Significant Judgments

Revenue from contracts with customers includes fees from trading. 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.

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

Sanderlin Securities, L.L.C. December 31, 2021

#### Revenue recognition

In the ordinary course of business, the Company purchases municipal securities from other dealers for its own account. The securities are then sold to other dealers or to certain members of the Company and their related interests. 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 to the company, the pricing is agreed upon and the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred.

Other Income represents reimbursements of salary and other related employment costs of former owner and are recognized when all performance obligations are satisfied.

Municipal securities owned are carried at estimated fair value. Changes in fair value are included in trading profits in the statement of income.

## Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

GAAP defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. Fair value measurements apply to financial assets and liabilities recognized at fair value on a recurring basis or nonrecurring basis, as well as to non-financial assets and liabilities which are re-measured at least annually.

GAAP establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable market data, when available, and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company's assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are grouped into three broad levels based on the reliability of valuation inputs used to determine fair value as follows :

- Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
- Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly. These inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and modeling techniques based on inputs that are observable for the assets or liabilities.
- Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

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

Sanderlin Securities, L.L.C. December 31, 2021

> The availability of observable inputs varies from product to product and is affected by a variety of factors, including the type of product, whether the product is new and not yet established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

#### Subsequent Events

Management has reviewed events occurring through the date the financial statements were available to be issued. The Company has determined that there are no subsequent events that require disclosure in the financial statements.

#### **2. DUE TO/FROM CLEARING BROKER**

At December 31, 2021, \$50,666 was on deposit with the clearing broker and \$1,461,510 was also on deposit as a trading deposit.

The Company clears all transactions through a clearing broker on a fully disclosed basis. The amount payable at December 31, 2021 of \$2,826,056.22 to the clearing broker relates to these transactions and is collateralized by securities owned by the Company.

#### **3. FURNITURE AND EQUIPMENT**

A summary of furniture and equipment follows:

| Furniture and equipment                        | \$<br>15,531 |
|------------------------------------------------|--------------|
| Less accumulated depreciation and amortization | 15,330       |
|                                                | \$<br>201    |

Depreciation for the year ended December 31, 2021 was\$ 1202.

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

Sanderlin Securities, L.L.C. December 31, 2021

#### **4. NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS**

As a registered broker-dealer, the Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission Uniform Net Capital Rule (rule 15c3-l), 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. At December 31, 2021, the Company had net capital of \$1,424,515 which was \$1,324,515 in excess of its required net capital of \$100,000. The Company's net capital ratio was .0325 to 1.

#### **5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS**

Guaranteed payments to members in 2021 totaled \$123,610.

#### **6. OFF BALANCE SHEET RISK**

In the normal course of business, the Company's customers execute securities transactions through the Company. These activities may expose the Company to off balance sheet risk in the event the customer or other broker is unable to fulfill its contracted obligations and the Company has to purchase or sell the financial instrument underlying the contract at a loss due to market fluctuations or interest rate changes.

The nature of the securities industry is such that large cash balances are maintained in various financial institutions. These balances may exceed the limits of coverage guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

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

Sanderlin Securities, L.L.C. December 31, 2021
