NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL ST A TEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2021 # NATURE OF BUSINESS On February 13, 2002, Texas Securities, Inc., (the "Company") was organized as a Texas Corporation. The Company is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and various state regulatory jurisdictions as a broker-dealer in securities and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). The Company 1s also a member of the £ecurities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC). The Company is in the business of selling interests in joint ventures organized for drilling oil and gas wells in the United States. Crown Exploration II, Ltd. ("Crown II"), a related party, serves as the managing venturer of their respective joint ventures. The Company is considered a Non-Covered Firm exempt from 17 C.F.R. § 240.15c3-3 relying on Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240. l 7a-5. The Company limits its business activities exclusively to participating in distributions of securities (other than firm commitment underwritings) in accordance with the requirements of paragraphs (a) or (b )(2) of Rule l 5c2-4. ## SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES # Management's Estimates and Assumptions The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the 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. # Fair Value of Financial Instruments The company's financial asset and liability accounts reported in the statement of financial condition are short-term in nature and approximate fair value. ### Receivables Receivables are recorded net of an allowance for expected losses. The allowance is estimated from historical performance and projections of trends. No allowance was recorded at December 31, 2021. {9}------------------------------------------------ #### SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) #### Furniture and Equipment Depreciation is provided by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally five years. The Company capitalizes all assets with a cost greater than \$500 and estimated useful life of 2 years or greater. Generally, office equipment is depreciated over periods ranging from 3 to 5 years, and furniture. and fixtures are depreciated over a period of 5 years. #### Revenue Recognition The Company sells interests in private placement offerings on behalf of Crown II sponsored Joint Ventures. Each time a customer enters into a buy transaction, the Company charges a commission. Commissions are recognized on the trade date (the date that the Company fills the trade order, receives the customer subscription funding 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 private placement interest is identified, the pricing is agreed upon and the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer. The Company earns sales agency fees under an agreement with Crown II for acting as Crown II's exclusive broker-dealer. Sales agency fees are recognized as the performance obligations are provided by the Company and consumed by Crown II. There were no sales agency fees earned during the year. #### Income Taxes The Company, with the consent of its shareholder, has elected under the Internal Revenue Code to be an S corporation. In lieu of corporate income taxes, the shareholders of an S corporation are taxed on their proportionate share of the Company's taxable income. Therefore, no provision or liability for federal income taxes has been included in the financial statements. The Company is subject to income tax under the Texas State Margin Tax. Currently, the Company is not under examination for income tax purposes by any taxing jurisdiction. Open tax years subject to examination are as follows: | State of Texas | 2017 to present | |----------------|-----------------| | United Stat es | 2019 to present | The Company follows the guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (F ASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) *Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.* Under this guidance a company must recognize the tax benefit associated with tax positions taken for tax return purposes when it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained. The Company does not believe there are any unrecognized tax benefits that should be recorded. For the year ended December 31, 2021, there were no interest or penalties recorded or included in the statement of operations. {10}------------------------------------------------ ### SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) ### Statement of Cash Flows The Company has defined as cash equivalents highly liquid investments, with original maturities of ninety days or less that are not held for sale in the ordinary course of business. ### -Concentrations of CreditRisk The Company sells interests in Crown II sponsored joint ventures, which results in receivables arising from commissions earned. The Company believes that its receivables credit risk exposure is limited. The Company earned all of its commission revenue under a sales agency agreement with Crown II. ### Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets, including equipment, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent fair value of a long-lived asset is less than the carrying amount. Fair value is determined based upon the estimated future cash inflows attributable to the asset less estimated future cash outflows. No such losses were recognized during the year. ## RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS I ECONOMIC DEPENDENCY I CONCENTRATION OF REVENUE The Company is under the control of and economically dependent on Crown II. The Company also has a concentration of services provided by Crown II. The existence of that control, dependency, and concentration creates operating results and financial position significantly different than if the Companies were autonomous. Transactions between the Company and Crown II were not consummated on terms equivalent to arm's length transactions. Pursuant to a sales agency agreement with Crown II, the Company acts as Crown II's exclusive broker-dealer. Under this agreement, the Company receives up to 15% of all funds raised from investors. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company earned commission income of\$4,447,312 related to this agreement. As of December 31, 2021, the Company was owed \$90,094 from Crown II sponsored joint ventures for commission income. The Company also paid Crown II \$30,000 for accounting and administrative fees, and another related party \$73,790 for office space, which is included in occupancy and equipment in the accompanying statement of operations. {11}------------------------------------------------ ### RETIREMENT PLAN The Company has a retirement plan which qualifies under Section 401 (k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Subject to certain limitations, employees who are at least 18 years old and have completed one hour of service are eligible to participate in the plan and may contribute a maximum of 50% of compensation. The Company may make annual discretionary contributions to the plan. The Company contributed \$75,692 to the plan in 2021. ### NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS The Company is subject to the SEC's 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, as defined under SEC Rule 15c3-1, of \$153,057 which was \$142,716 in excess of its required minimum net capital of \$10,341 The Company's ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 1.01 to 1. ### LEASE OBLIGATIONS The Company leases office space from a related party (see Related Party Transactions). Rental expense for office space totaled \$73,790 for the year. The lease requires monthly payments of\$3,715 through December 2022. Future minimum payments under this non-cancelable lease are \$44,580. #### NOTES PAYABLE In April 2020, the Company received loan proceeds of \$300,825 under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). The Company requested and received loan forgiveness in July 2021. In April 2021, the Company received loan proceeds of \$254,591 under the Second Draw of the Paycheck Protection Program. The Company requested and received loan forgiveness in November 2021. #### CONCENTRATION OF REVENUE One of the Company's registered representatives generated approximately 41 % of the Company's total revenue and accounted for approximately 36% of the Company's compensation and related costs for the year ended December 31, 2021 {12}------------------------------------------------ ### CONTINGENCIES There are currently no asserted claims or legal proceedings against the Company; however the nature of the Company's business subjects it to various claims, regulatory examinations, and other proceedings in the ordinary course of business. The ultimate outcome of any such action against the Company could have an adverse impact on the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company. ### SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Management has evaluated subsequent events subsequent to December 31, 2021, and through February 7, 2022, which is the date that the financial statements were available for issuance. There have been no material subsequent events that occurred during such period that would require disclosure in this report or would be required to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021. {13}------------------------------------------------ #### SCHEDULE I #### TEXAS SECURITIES, INC.
