FORM X-17A-5 SCHEDULE I 

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS 

NOTE TO RESPONDENTS: Schedule I of Form X-17A-5 is a calendar year unconsolidated report to be filed by 

all registrants either as a supplement to the regular fourth quarter Part II of Form X-17A-5 within seventeen business 

days of the end of the third quarter. 

Brokers or dealers which are exempt from the filing requirements of paragraphs (a)(iii) of Section 240.17a-5 are 

to submit, no later than 17 business days after the close of the calendar year, an annual report consisting of the 

Facing Page, balance sheet, and Revenue Expense Statement from Part IIA of Form and Schedule I of Form X17A-5. 

Schedule I requires the reporting of general information designed to measure certain economic and financial 

characteristics of the registrant. 

SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS 

4 – The term “national securities exchange(s)” shall mean any exchange(s) registered under Section 6 of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 

9a & b – “Equity security” shall mean any stock or similar security, or any security convertible with or without 

consideration, into such a security or carrying any warrant or right to subscribe to or purchase such a security. 

The term “public customer” shall mean any person from whom or on whose behalf a broker or dealer has received 

or acquired or holds funds or securities for the account of such person, but shall not include a broker or dealer, 

or a general, special or limited partner or director or officer of the broker or dealer, or any person to the extent that 

such person has a claim for property or funds which by contract, agreement or understanding, or by operation of 

law is part of the capital of the broker or dealer or is subordinated to the claims of creditors of the broker or dealer 

Omnibus accounts carried for other brokers or dealers shall not be included in the count of public customer 

accounts (Item 9a) but shall be included under Item 9b. 

Only active public customer accounts will be included in the public customer account total. For an accountant to 

be considered “active” it must have a non-zero cash or securities balance at the end of the reporting period. 

Omnibus accounts carried for other brokers at the end of the reporting period are to be included in Omnibus 

account total. 

11 – Indicate with “1” the methods by which respondent clears its public customer accounts. If respondent has 

no customers, as defined in 9a and 9b above, respondent is to place a “1” in the “not applicable” box. If respondent 

principally clears its public customer transactions through other than a broker-dealer, place a “1” in the “other” box. 

12 – Exchange membership is to include associate and limited memberships as well as regular memberships. See 

Item 4 description for definition of “exchange.” 

13a & b – Report only full time (full time is defined as anyone who works 40 hours or more per week for respondent) 

personnel employed by respondent as of the last business day of the year. A full time registered representative 

is any person who works a minimum of 30 hours per week and spends a minimum of 50 percent of his time engaged 

in effecting transactions with public customers on behalf of the respondent. The number of employees and 

registered representatives is “as of “ the last business day of the year. 

2 of 7 
16a & b – These items are to be completed only by carrying or clearing firms required to file Part II of Form X-17A5. Report the total number of public customer transactions executed on a national securities exchange. If basis

of count is an actual count, place a “1” in “actual” box. If statistical method is used, place a “1” in “estimate” box.

A transaction is defined as an executed trade which results in a customer trade confirmation. Therefore, the count 

of transactions should be taken from the customer side and should not include confirmation corrections. For count 

purposes, several executions at the same price, which result in one confirmation, should be counted as one 

transaction. 

For investment company securities transactions in which cash or securities are handled by respondent (exclude 

transactions by others, such as voluntary or period payment plans), a count of trade confirmations should be used 

to obtain the transaction count. The street and customer side are counted as one transaction. For underwriting 

transactions, the takedown should be counted as one transaction and the ultimate sale to customers should be 

counted based on customers’ confirmations (e.g., an underwriting of 2,000 shares is ultimately sold to five 

customers-takedown of 2,000 shares counts as one trade and the sale to five customers counts as five trades.) 

For commodity transactions, purchase or sale of contracts are to be counted as one transaction and each 

subsequent closeout is to be counted as one transaction [e.g., five contracts of a commodity purchased in one 

trade (same price and on the same day) is one transaction, subsequent sale is five separate contracts (different 

day or price for each is five additional transactions)]. Do not include clearing house side in count. 

For option transactions, the purchase of an option contract represents a transaction. 

For commercial paper transactions, both the purchase and sale should be counted as separate transactions. 

Count may be taken from confirmation or acknowledgement tickets. Items which are not strictly principal trades, 

such as private placement sales should be included. Repurchase agreement sales and returns should also be 

included in count. 

Corrections shall be excluded from the transaction count. However, an error transaction, that is a transaction where 

the wrong security was purchased and the correct security must later be purchased, is not considered a correction. 

For error transactions, the original transaction and the buy and sell from the error account are to be counted as 

separate transactions. 

Firms carrying public customer accounts for other broker-dealers on a fully disclosed basis are to include 

transactions from those accounts in their number count. Firms introducing accounts on a fully disclosed basis will 

report “zero” for these items. 

Although an actual count of transaction is preferred, an estimated count may be generated using the following 

methodology: 

1. Select specific days for which transactions will be counted

(a) Randomly selecting one of the first 15 working days in the year as the starting date,

(b) Selecting each 8th working date thereafter throughout the entire year,

(c) Listing these dates in chronological order. This should result in a list of exactly 30 dates (If more than this

number have been selected, randomly discard dates throughout the year until only 30 remain). 

19a, b & c- Report whether respondent directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or under common control 

with a U.S. bank. If the answer is “yes” provide the name of the affiliated bank and/or bank holding company, and 

describe the type of institution. The term “bank” is defined in Section 3(a)(6) of the securities Exchange Act of 1934. 

3 of 7 
24 – This figure is used to compute fees payable to the Commission under Section 31 of the Securities Exchange 

Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C § 78ec) for over-the-counter (“OTC”) sales of exchange-listed securities. The Commission 

has exempted some OTC sales of exchange-listed securities for Section 31 transaction fees and Securities 

Exchange Act Rule 31-1 [CFR §240.31-1] should be consulted in developing the figure to be reported in Item 24 

of Schedule I.
