# **NOTE 1- ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS**

Eide Bailly Securities LLC (EBS) is registered as a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASO). EBS is a registered broker-dealer in the state of South Dakota and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eide Bailly Financial Services, LLC (EBFS).

The majority of EBS commission revenue is earned from a broker-dealer, which executes securities transactions including the sale of oil and gas interests, mutual fund investments and transfers on behalf of customers and also includes regulated life insurance products, such as variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies.

## **NOTE 2** - **SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

### *Cash and Cash Equivalents*

EBS includes demand deposits in the category of cash and cash equivalents as presented in the cash flow statement.

## *Commissions Receivable*

Receivable from affiliated broker represents accruals for commission amounts due from one broker-dealer. It is the EBS' policy to use the reserve method to write off uncollectible accounts. Amounts not paid within 30 days are considered past due. There were no amounts over 90 days past due as of April 30, 2019. Management anticipates no substantial losses from present receivable balances. Therefore, there is no balance in the reserve at April 30, 2019.

## *Adoption of New Account Standards*

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenues from Contract with Customers. The new revenue guidance broadly replaces the revenue guidance provided throughout the Codification. The core principle of the revenue guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. An entity should apply a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required with the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP.

ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606) is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Firm adopted the revenue recognition standard starting with the reporting period beginning May 1, 2018. The services that fall within the scope of ASC 606 include commission revenue from mutual fund and other traded securities, variable annuity contracts, and life insurance policies. This adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operation or cash flows as the new guidance is materially consistent with the Firm's previous revenue recognition policies.

#### *Use of Estimates*

The preparation 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 certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

#### *Income Taxes*

EBS along with its Parent, EBFS are included in the consolidated federal and state income tax returns as disregarded entities which is filed by Eide Bailly, LLP the parent company of EBFS. As a limited liability partnership, all the Company's taxable income or loss is allocated to the partners in accordance with their respective percentage ownership. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the financial statements.

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

# **EIDE BAILLY SECURITIES LLC NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS APRIL 30, 2019**

## **NOTE 3 - NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS**

EBS, as a registered broker and dealer in securities, is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission's Unifonn Net Capital Rule (Rule l 5c3-l ).

Under the computation provided by the Uniform Net Capital Rule, EBS is required to maintain net capital equal to the greater of \$5,000 or 6 2/3% of aggregate indebtedness. At April 30, 2019, EBS had net capital, as computed under the rule, of \$82,087 and its ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 0.0014 to 1.

## **NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTIES**

EBS has a single member owner, EBFS which is the parent company for various financial service entities. All indirect operating expenses of EBFS' related entities are paid for by EBFS including all compensation and related employee costs of financial services representatives. Direct expenses incurred and paid by EBS, in addition to certain expenses incurred by EBFS through the Expense Allocation Agreement, are recognized in the financial statements of EBS. The Expense Allocation Agreement between EBS and EBFS is approved annually by management. During 2019, EBS reimbursed EBFS for \$105,000. As of April 30, 2019, EBS owes \$0 to EBFS for these expenses.

#### **NOTE 5 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS**

Subsequent events have been evaluated through June 21, 2019 the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

#### **NOTE 6 - CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK**

100% of the Company's earned revenues for 2019 were generated from commissions associated with transactions from United Planners. At April 30, 2019, the Company had a receivable of\$7,193 from United Planners.

#### **NOTE** 7 - **REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS**

Revenue from contracts with customers include commission revenue from mutual fund and other traded securities, variable annuity contracts, and variable life insurance policies. The Firm recognizes revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied over time as the services are performed or at a point in time depending on the nature of the services provided as further discussed below:

#### *Commission Revenue from Mutual Funds and Other Traded Securities:*

The Firm facilitates the execution of buy and sell transactions on behalf of its customers. Each time a customer enters into a buy or sell transaction, the Firm charges a commission. Commissions and related clearing expenses are recorded on the trade date (the date that the Finn fills the trade order by finding and contracting with a counterparty and confirms the trade with the customer). The Firm believes that the perfonnance 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.

#### *Commission Revenue from Variable Annuity Contract:*

While approved to offer Variable Annuities, EBS had no executed selling agreements during the review period and thus had no collection/deposit of any type of commission.

#### *Commission Revenue from Life Insurance Policies:*

EBS is not approved for Life Insurance and does not receive Life Insurance Policy revenue.

## REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Governors Eide Bailly Securities LLC Fargo, North Dakota

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Assertions Regarding Exemption Provisions Report, in which (1) Eide Bailly Securities LLC identified the following provisions of 17 C.F.R. §15c3-3(k) under which Eide Bailly Securities LLC claimed an exemption from 17 C.F.R. §240.15c3-3: section (k)(1) (exemption provisions) and (2) Eide Bailly Securities LLC stated that Eide Bailly Securities LLC met the identified exemption provisions throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception. Eide Bailly Securities LLC's management is responsible for compliance with the exemption provisions and its statements.

Our review was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included inquiries and other required procedures to obtain evidence about Eide Bailly Securities LLC's compliance with the exemption provisions. A review is substantially less in scope than an examination, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion on management's statements. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to management's statements referred to above for them to be fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the provisions set forth in paragraph (k)(1) of Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

We have performed the procedures included in Rule 17a-5(e)(4) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and in the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) Series 600 Rules, which are enumerated below, and were agreed to by Eide Bailly Securities LLC and the SIPC, solely to assist you and SIPC in evaluating Eide Bailly Securities LLC's compliance with applicable instructions of the General Assessment Reconcil iation (Form SIPC-7) for the year ended April 30, 2019. Eide Bailly Securities LLC's management is responsible for its Form SIPC-7 and for its compliance with those requirements. This agreed-upon procedures engagement was conducted in accordance with standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The sufficiency of these procedures is solely the responsibility of those parties specified in this report. Consequently, we make no representation regarding the sufficiency of the procedures described below either for the purpose for which this report has been requested or for any other purpose. The procedures we performed and our findings are as follows:

- 1. Compared the listed assessment payments in Form SIPC-7 with respective cash disbursement records entries noting no differences;
- 2. Compared the Total Revenue amount reported on the Annual Audited Report Form X-17A-5 Part Ill for the year ended April 30, 2019 with the Total Revenue amount reported in Form SIPC-7 for the year ended April 30, 2019, noting no differences;
- 3. Compared any adjustments reported in Form SIPC-7 with supporting schedules and working papers noting no differences;
- 4. Recalculated the arithmetical accuracy of the calculations reflected in Form SIPC-7 and in the related schedules and working papers supporting the adjustments noting no differences; and
- 5. Compared the amount of any overpayment applied to the current assessment with the Form SIPC-7 on which it was originally computed, noting no differences.

We were not engaged to and did not conduct an examination or review, the objective of which would be the expression of an opinion or conclusion, respectively, on Eide Bailly Securities LLC's compliance with applicable instructions of the Form SIPC-7 for the year ended April 30, 2019. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion or conclusion. Had we performed additional procedures, other matters might have come to our attention that would have been reported to you.
