The Rule prohibits the Company from engaging in securities transactions at any time the Company's net capital, as defined by the Rule, is less than \$5,000, or if the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, exceeds 1500% (and the rule of "applicable" exchange provides that equity capital may not be withdrawn, or cash dividends paid, if aggregate indebtedness exceeds 1000% of net capital). On December 31, 2021, the Company has net allowable capital of \$20,021, which is \$15,021 in excess of the required net capital of \$5,000. The Company's percentage of aggregate indebtedness to net capital is 0% as of December 31, 2021. Prepaid expenses reflected in the accompanying financial statements are not allowable assets for the purpose of computing minimum net capital under the Rule. The Company's exemption from the reserve requirements of 15c3-3 (Customer Protection Rule) is under the provisions of Paragraph (k:)(2)(i), in that the Company does not receive or hold customer funds or securities in the course of providing its services. {13}------------------------------------------------ Commonwealth Advisors, Inc. Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2021 #### 8 ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE An allowance for doubtful accounts is established against recorded accounts receivable if losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for bad debt charged to earnings. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the collectability of a receivable is probable. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowance for doubtful account is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based on historical experience and specifically identified questionable receivables. The evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. #### 9 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS The Company evaluated subsequent events through February 20, 2022, the date its Financial Statements were issued. The Company did not identify any material subsequent events requiring adjustment to or disclosure in its :financial statements. {14}------------------------------------------------ #### **Notes to Financial St.atements** **December 31, 2021** # SCHEDULE! ## COMPUTATION OF NET CAPITAL UNDER RULE 15c3-1 OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2021 | FOR NET CAPITAL | \$45,661 | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------| | DEDUCTIONS AND/OR CHARGES | | | Non-allowable assets | | | Deferred tax asset | \$24,515 | | Other non-allowable assets | \$1,125 | | TOTAL DEDUCTIONS | \$25,640 | | NET CAPITAL | \$20,021 | | AGGREGATE INDEBTEDNESS | | | Accounts Payable | so | | COMPUTATION OF BASIC NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS | | | Minimum net capital required | \$5,000 | | Excess net capital | \$15,021 | | 0% of AI or
