To the Stockholders' of
Gladowsky Capital Management Corp.:

# **Opinion on the Financial Statement**

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Gladowsky Capital Management Corp. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statement"). In our opinion, the financial statement presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Gladowsky Capital Management Corp. as of December 31, 2022 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

# **Basis for Opinion**

This financial statement is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Gladowsky Capital Management Corp.'s financial statement based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement is free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statement, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statement. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as Gladowsky Capital Management Corp.'s auditor since 2022.

# Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2022

# **1. Organization and Business**

Gladowsky Capital Management Corp. (the “Company”) is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”).

The Company provides investment advisory services on a fee basis computed as a percentage of assets under management and earns commissions from the purchase and sale of securities on behalf of customers as an introducing broker. All transactions related to publicly traded equity and debt securities are cleared through another broker/dealer (the “Clearing Broker”) on a fully disclosed basis and, therefore, the Company is exempt from SEC Rule 15c3-3 in accordance with Rule 15c3-3(k)(2)(ii).

The Company was incorporated on January 16, 1997 under the laws of the State of New York and maintains an office in Smithtown, New York.

# **2. Summary of Accounting Policies**

# **a. Basis of Presentation**

The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

**b. Cash and Cash Equivalents**-The Company considers all short-term debt securities purchased with a maturity of three months or less as well as money market funds to be cash equivalents.

**c. Securities Transactions**-Securities transactions and the related revenue and expenses are recorded on the trade date, as if they had settled.

**d. Equipment, Furniture, Fixtures and Leasehold Improvements**-Equipment, furniture and fixtures, and leasehold improvements are stated at cost. Replacements, maintenance, and repairs which do not improve or extend the life of an asset are expensed.

**e. Lease Accounting** - The Company complies with FASB ASC, 842, Leases. The Company defines a short-term lease as a lease that, at the commencement date, has a lease term of 12 months or less and does not contain an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lease is reasonably certain to exercise. The Company elected to recognize short-term lease payments as an expense on a straight-line

3

basis over the lease term. Related variable lease payments are recognized in the period in which the obligation is incurred. The Company's lease obligations are deemed to be short term.

f. **Credit Losses** - The Company complies with FASB ASC, 326, Financial Statements. The Company has the ability to determine that there are no expected credit losses in certain circumstances (e.g., based on the credit quality of the customer). The Company identified fees and other receivables (including, but not limited to, receivables related to brokerage commissions) as impacted by the guidance.

g. **Income Taxes** - The Company, with the consent of its stockholders, has elected to be taxed as an S corporation under applicable federal and New York State statutes. Accordingly, the Company is treated for federal and New York State income tax purposes as a flow through entity, instead of as a corporation. In lieu of corporation income taxes, the stockholders are taxed on their proportionate share of the Company's taxable income. The Company files federal and New York State income tax returns, and the earliest tax year that is subject to examination by these taxing authorities is 2018. The Company complies with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, which clarified the accounting and disclosures for uncertain tax positions related to income taxes recognized in the financial statements and addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. The Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position.

The Company did not have material unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2022 and does not expect this to change significantly over the next twelve months. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

h. **Use of Estimates**-The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

### 3. Deposit with Clearing Broker

The clearing and depository operations for the Company's and customers' securities transactions are provided by a clearing broker pursuant to a clearance agreement. At December 31, 2022, the deposit with clearing broker is the required clearing deposit of $100,000 to be maintained at the clearing broker.

### 4. Fair Value Measurements of Investment in Securities

Securities are recorded at fair value in accordance with ASC 820. ASC 820 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

4

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 FASB ASC 820, are used to measure fair value.

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

**Level 1**-Pricing inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities the Company can access.

**Level 2**-Pricing 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**-Pricing 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. (The unobservable inputs should be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances and may include the Company's own data.)

As of December 31, 2022, there were no securities owned by the Company.

## 5. Equipment, Furniture and Fixtures, and Leasehold Improvements

Equipment, furniture and fixtures, and leasehold improvements are stated at cost and their estimated useful lives are summarized as follows:

| Equipment-office and data processing | $151,992 | 5-7 Years |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Furniture and fixtures | 175,853 | 5-10 Years |
| Leasehold improvements | 25,167 | 5 Years |
|  | 353,012 |  |
| Less: Accumulated depreciation and amortization | 328,727 |  |
|  | $24,285 |  |

## 6. Employee Benefit Plan

As of January 1, 2021 the Company retired its original defined contribution retirement plan. As of January 1, 2021 the Company established an integrated retirement plan that includes a 401k plan, a profit sharing plan and a defined benefit cash balance component.

The 401K and the profit sharing plans cover all employees who meet the eligibility requirements. Employees may contribute a percentage of their eligible compensation up to the maximum allowable by law. The Company may make discretionary contributions to both the

5

401K and profit sharing plans. The Company contributed $35,985, in the aggregate, for the year ended December 31, 2022 to the 401K and profit sharing plans.

The Company has established a cash balance defined benefit pension plan effective January 1, 2021, covering substantially all its employees. The benefits are based on years of service. The Company's funding policy is to contribute an amount not less than the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA") minimum funding requirement and not more than the maximum that would be deductible for a taxable corporation. The actuarial method used at December 31, 2022 is the market value method.

a. Plan assets of $415,735 at December 31, 2022 consist of cash and cash equivalents. The following provides a reconciliation of the pension benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets for 2022 and a statement of the funded status as of December 31, 2022 (the measurement date):

**Change in Benefit Obligation**

| Benefit obligation - January 1, 2022 | $196,800 |

| --- | --- |

b. The following provides the amounts recognized in the statement of financial condition, components of pension expense, and weighted average assumption:

**Weighted Average Assumptions**

| --- | --- | --- |
| 2024 |  | 0 |
| 2025 |  | 0 |
| 2026 |  | 18,985 |
| 2027 |  | 0 |
| 2028 - 2032 |  | 0 |

d. **Basis Used to Determine Long-Term Rate of Return on Assets** - Expected long-term return on plan assets is determined by applying historical average investment returns from published indexes relating to the current allocation of assets in the portfolio.

e. **Description of Investment Policies and Strategies** - The plan's goal is to achieve a balanced approach to prudently maximize total return for the long-term by investing in equity investments, intermediate-term fixed income securities (which may include government treasuries and agencies), mortgage-backed securities, corporate securities, money market investments, and mutual funds.

f. **Assets at Fair Value** - The table below provides the fair values of the Company's pension plan assets at December 31, 2022 by category. The table also identifies the level of inputs used to determine the fair value of assets in each category. See Note 4 for definition of levels.

|  | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Assets at Fair Value |  |  |  |  |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $415,735 | $ - | $ - | $415,735 |
| Total Assets at Fair Value | $415,735 | $ - | $ - | $415,735 |

## 7. Concentration

The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality institutions. At times, balances may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance limit. Cash in banks is insured by the FDIC up to the standard maximum deposit insurance of $250,000 per institution. The Company has not experienced any losses to date.

## 8. 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 requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to the net capital, both as defined, shall not exceed 15 to 1. At

7

December 31, 2022, the Company had net capital, as defined, of $304,834 which was $298,345 in excess of its required net capital of $5,689. The Company’s net capital ratio was 0.28.

#### **9. Off-Balance Sheet Risk**

In the normal course of its business, the Company indemnifies and guarantees certain service providers, such as clearing and custody agents, trustees and administrators, against specified potential losses in connection with their acting as an agent of, or providing services to, the Company or its affiliates. The Company also indemnifies some clients against potential losses incurred in the event specified third-party service providers, including sub custodians and third-party brokers, improperly executed transactions. The maximum potential amount of future payments that the Company could be required to make under these indemnifications cannot be estimated. However, the Company believes that it is unlikely it will have to make material payments under these arrangements and has not recorded any contingent liability in the financial statements for the indemnifications.

The Company provides representations and warranties to counterparties in connection with a variety of commercial transactions and occasionally indemnifies them against potential losses caused by the breach of those representations and warranties. The Company may also provide standard indemnifications to some counterparties to protect them in the event additional taxes are owed or payments are withheld, due either to a change in or adverse application of certain tax laws. These indemnifications generally are standard contractual terms and are entered in the normal course of business. The maximum potential amount of future payments that the Company could be required to make under these indemnifications cannot be estimated. However, the Company believes that it is unlikely it will have to make material payments under these arrangements and has not recorded any contingent liability in the financial statements for these indemnifications.

#### **10. Subsequent Events**

The Company’s management has evaluated subsequent events through February 28, 2023 the date the financial statements were available to be issued, noting no matters requiring disclosure or recognition in these financial statements.
