The Company received its articles of organization from the State of Michigan in July 2009 and registered with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in August 2010. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Concorde Holdings, Inc (Parent Company). #### **NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** #### **Revenue Recognition** Revenue is recorded when: (i) a contract with a client has been identified, (ii) the performance obligation(s) in the contract have been identified, (iii) the transaction price has been determined, (iv) the transaction price has been allocated to each performance obligation in the contract, and (v) the Company has satisfied the applicable performance obligation. The expenses that are directly related to such transactions are recorded as incurred and presented within operating expenses. Revenue associated with the reimbursement of such expenses are recorded when the Company is contractually entitled to reimbursement and presented within other income. The Company provides transaction related services to its customers. Securities transactions and the related commission revenue and expenses are recorded on a trade date basis. Disaggregated revenue is presented in the accompanying statement of operations. Accounts receivable and contract balances from contracts with customers were as follows. Accounts receivable approximated \$825,000 and \$1,864,000 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Contract assets were not material as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. Contract liabilities approximated \$293,500 and \$306,000 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. #### **Management Estimates** The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. #### **Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risks** In the normal course of business, the Company's activities involve the execution, settlement and financing of various securities transactions. These activities may expose the Company to off-balance sheet risk in the event the other party to the transaction is unable to fulfill its contractual obligation. {10}------------------------------------------------ ### *NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS* #### **NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)** #### **Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risks** In the normal course of business, the Company's activities involve the execution, settlement and financing of various securities transactions. These activities may expose the Company to offbalance sheet risk in the event the other party to the transaction is unable to fulfill its contractual obligation. #### **Federal Income Taxes** The Company files a consolidated income tax return with its Parent Company and subsidiaries. The provision for Federal income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2023 is based on a separate return filing. The Company recognizes and measures its unrecognized tax benefits in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes. The primary objective of ASC 740 is to prescribe measurement and disclosure requirements for income tax provisions when uncertainty exists as to whether the reporting entity's tax positions would be sustained in the event of an examination. Company management believes that there are no material uncertainties in which tax positions taken would not be sustained upon examination. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal income tax examinations for years before 2020 or state income tax examinations for years before 2019. #### **Subsequent Events** The Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through March 25, 2024, which is the same date the financial statements were available to be issued. #### **NOTE 3 – TRANSACTIONS WITH PARENT COMPANY** The Parent Company provides furniture and fixtures, personnel, general administrative and consulting services including payment of certain legal expenses in connection with the Company's business. Reimbursement of these expenses is based on an itemized schedule of amounts paid. For the year ended December 31, 2023 charges for the services provided by Concorde Holdings, Inc. approximated \$18,000, and are included in sales, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of operations. {11}------------------------------------------------ J *CONCORDE INVESTMENT SERVICES, LLC* # *NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS* #### **NOTE 4 – NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS** The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission's Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1). Based on the provisions of this rule, the Company must maintain net capital equivalent to the greater of \$50,000 or 1/15th of aggregate indebtedness, as defined. At December 31, 2023, the Company's net capital totaled \$3,834,585 which was \$3,718,824 in excess of its required net capital of \$115,761. The ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital (which may not exceed 15 to 1) was .45 to 1. #### **NOTE 5 – RIGHT OF USE ASSETS / LEASE OBLIGATIONS** In 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02 (ASC 842), Leases. The Company leases its primary office space. In accordance with ASC 842 the Company recognized a right of use (ROU) asset and the corresponding lease liability at the commencement of the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized on the Company's balance sheet at the present value of future lease payments related to the use of the underlying asset(s) during the lease term(s). The Company employs its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate to determine the present value of future lease payments as the implicit rate in the lease arrangement is not readily determinable. The incremental borrowing rate is based on the rate of interest the Company would incur on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equivalent to the lease payments under similar terms and in a similar economic environment. There were no leases subject to ASC 842 as of December 31, 2023. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the total expense pursuant to the operating leases in effect during the year (including month-to-month arrangements) amounted to \$100,000. Furniture and equipment is provided by the Parent Company, the charge for which is included in the administrative payments made to Concorde Holdings, Inc (see Note 3). #### **NOTE 6 – CONTINGENCIES** At December 31, 2023, the Company was involved in various pending arbitration proceedings with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) regarding claims by individuals for investment decisions made on their behalf by former registered representatives of the Company. The disposition of these matters, in the opinion of management will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position. During 2023, the Company entered into settlement agreements with individuals regarding various investment claims against the Company and its former registered representatives. The settlements approximated \$368,000 and are included in sales, general and administrative expenses in the statement of operations. {12}------------------------------------------------ # *NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS* #### **NOTE 7 – NEWLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT** In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance (FASB ASC 362) which significantly changed how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that aren't measured at fair value through net income. The most significant change in this standard is a shift from the incurred loss model to the expected loss model. Under the standard, disclosures are required to provide users of the financial statements with useful information in analyzing an entity's exposure to credit risk and the measurement of credit losses. Financial assets held by the Company that are subject to the guidance in FASB ASC 326 were trade accounts receivable and contract assets. The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2023. The impact of the adoption was not considered material to the financial statements and the accompanying disclosures. {13}------------------------------------------------ *SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION* {14}------------------------------------------------ # *COMPUTATION OF NET CAPITAL UNDER RULE 15c3-1 OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION* | Total ownership equity | \$4,347,575 | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------| | Deduct ownership equity not allowable for net capital | – | | Total ownership equity qualified for net capital | 4,347,575 | | Add: | | | a.
