# **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year Ended September 30, 2022**

## **Note A – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:**

### **Nature of Operations:**

Sun's Brothers Securities, Inc. (the Company) is a Hawaii corporation formed on September 4, 2002. The Company is registered with the SEC as a securities broker-dealer pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Agency ("FINRA").

In accordance with this registration, the nature and scope of the Company's activities are the sale of securities and related financial services in the State of Hawaii. The majority of the Company's revenue comes from trading of institutional bonds. The Company is required to maintain a minimum "net capital" of \$5,000 at all times.

### **Basis of Accounting**

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United State of America (GAAP).

### **Estimates:**

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported revenues and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

### **Cash and Cash Equivalents:**

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less that are not required to be segregated under Federal or other regulations to be cash and cash equivalents.

### **Office Equipment:**

Office equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the accelerated method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives used by the Company are as follows.

| Office furniture and fixtures | 7 years |
|-------------------------------|---------|
| Office equipment and machines | 5 years |
| Computer and peripherals      | 5 years |

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

## **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year Ended September 30, 2022**

### **Note A – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued):**

### **Revenue from Contracts with Customers**

The Company buys and sells securities on behalf of its customers. Each time a customer enters into a buy or sell transaction, the Company charges a commission. Commissions and related clearing expenses are recorded on the trade date (the date that the Company fills the trade order by finding and contracting with a counterparty 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 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.

The Company enters into arrangements with pooled investment vehicles (funds) to distribute shares to investors. The Company may receive distribution fees paid by the fund up front, over time, upon the investor's exit from the fund (that is, a contingent deferred sales charge), or as a combination thereof. The Company believes that its performance obligation is the sale of securities to investors and as such this is fulfilled on the trade date. Any fixed amounts are recognized on the trade date and variable amounts are recognized to the extent it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur once the uncertainty is resolved. For variable amounts, as the uncertainty is dependent on the value of the shares at future points in time as well as the length of time the investor remains in the fund, both of which are highly susceptible to factors outside the Company's influence, the Company does not believe that it can overcome this constraint until the market value of the fund and the investor activities are known, which are usually monthly or quarterly. Distribution fees recognized in the current period are primarily related to performance obligations that have been satisfied in prior periods.

### **Comprehensive Income:**

Unrealized gain (loss) on securities available for sale for the year-ended are accounted for as Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) in the accompanying Statement of Operations. Accumulated unrealized gain (loss) on such securities is included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/Loss on the accompanying Statement of Financial Condition.

### **Income taxes:**

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due and deferred taxes due to temporary differences and loss carryforwards. The Company had a taxable loss for both Federal and State income tax purposes for the year ended September 30, 2022 and had an operating loss carryforward of approximately \$2,600 as of September 30, 2022. As a result, the Company had no current or deferred income tax liability. The Company did not recognize a deferred tax asset resulting from the loss carryforward as such amount was determined to be insignificant.

The Company's tax filings are subject to audit by various taxing authorities. The Company's Federal Income Tax Returns for the years ended September 30, 2019 through September 30, 2021 remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service; State Income Tax Returns for the same periods remain open to examination by the State of Hawaii.

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

# **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year Ended September 30, 2022**

## **Note A – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued):**

### **Date of Management's review:**

Management has evaluated events subsequent to the balance sheet date for items requiring recording or disclosure in the financial statements. The evaluation was performed up to and including the date financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, the Company has determined that there were no events which took place that would have a material impact on its financial statements.

### **Note B - 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 requirements that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, shall not exceed 15 to 1. At September 30, 2022, the Company had net capital of \$81,803 which was \$76,803 in excess of its required net capital of \$5,000. The Company's ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was .53 to 1 at September 30, 2022.

# **Note C – Receivable From and Deposit With Clearing Broker-Dealer**

The Company clears customer transactions through another broker-dealer ("clearing broker") on a fully disclosed basis pursuant to a clearing agreement. In accordance with this agreement, the Company is required to maintain a deposit in cash and/or securities. Securities on deposit with the clearing broker are valued at fair value. The deposit is refundable if, and when, the Company ceases doing business with the clearing broker.

Receivable from clearing broker at September 30, 2022 consists of commissions receivable, net of clearing fees and expenses. Management has evaluated the receivable and considered this amount to be fully collectible, therefor no allowance for credit loss is required.

### **Note D - Fair Value of Financial Instruments**

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market. Valuation techniques that are consistent with the market, income or cost approach, as specified by GAAP are used to measure fair value.

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

# **Note D - Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)**

The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels:

- Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities the Company has the ability to access.
- Level 2 inputs are inputs (other than quoted prices included within Level 1) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
- Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability and rely on management's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Fair value of assets measured on a recurring basis at September 30, 2022 are as follows:

|                                           | Level 1 |   | Level 2   | Level 3 | Total     |
|-------------------------------------------|---------|---|-----------|---------|-----------|
| Asset:                                    |         |   |           |         |           |
| Securities available for sale included in |         |   |           |         |           |
| Deposit with Clearing Broker-Dealer:      |         |   |           |         |           |
| Corporate non-convertible debt            |         |   |           |         |           |
| maturing November 1, 2022                 | \$      | - | \$ 99,772 | \$<br>- | \$ 99,772 |

# **Note E – Related Party Information**

The sole shareholder has provided office space for the Company on a month to month basis, for which the Company has incurred \$9,600 in rent expense. As of September 30, 2022 the Company had \$13,600 due to shareholder for rent for the years ended 2021 and 2022.

# **Note F – Concentrations**

62% of the commission revenue earned for the year ended September 30, 2022 came from transactions on behalf of 6 customers.

# **Note G – Line of Credit**

The Company has an unsecured line of credit agreement with Central Pacific Bank which provides that the Company may borrow up to \$50,000. Borrowing under the line accrues interest at an annual rate of 5.75% and daily periodic rate of .01575%. There was an outstanding balance of \$20,580 on September 30, 2022. The line of credit matures on February 5, 2023.

# **Note H – Commitments and Contingencies**

### REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholder's of Sun's Brothers Securities. Inc.

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Exemption, in which (1) Sun's Brothers Securities, Inc. identified the following provision(s) of 17 C.F.R. §15c3-3(k) under which Sun's Brothers Securities, Inc. claimed the following exemption(s) from 17 C.F.R. §240.15c3-3: (k)(2)(ii) and (2) Sun's Brothers Securities, Inc. stated that Sun's Brothers Securities, Inc. met the identified exemption provisions throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception.

The Company is also filing this Exemption Report because the Company's other business activities contemplated by Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5 are limited to mutual fund retailer. In addition, the Company did not directly receive, hold, or otherwise owe funds or securities for or to customers, other than money or other consideration received and promptly transmitted in compliance with paragraph (a) or (b)(2) of Rule 15c2-4 and/or funds received and promptly transmitted for effecting transactions via subscriptions on a subscription way basis where the funds are payable to the issuer or its agent and not to the Company; did not carry accounts of or for customers; and did not carry PAB accounts (as defined in Rule 15c3-3) throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception.

Sun's Brothers Securities, Inc.'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 Sun's Brothers Securities, Inc.'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(s) (k)(2)(ii) of Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Company's other business activities contemplated by Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5, and related SEC Staff Frequently Asked Questions.
