## REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To Director and Shareholder of V.M. Manning & Co., Inc.

### Opinion on The Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of V.M. Manning & Co., Inc. (the 'Company') as of December 31, 2022, and the related statements of operations, stockholder's equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, including the related notes (collectively referred to as 'financial statements'). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

### Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements 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 Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, 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 statements. 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 statements. We believe that the audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

### Report on Supplementary Information

The accompanying information contained in the Supplementary Information section has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Company's financial statement. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with Rule 17a-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and, if applicable, under Regulation 1.10 under the Commodity Exchange Act. In our opinion, the information contained in the Supplementary Information section is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

Footnotes to Financial Statements  
For the year ended December 31, 2022

# NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting principles followed by the Company and the methods of applying those principles which materially affect the determination of financial position, results of operation and cash flows are summarized below:

## Organization

V.M. Manning & Co., Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in the State of South Carolina effective May 12, 1960. The Company has adopted a calendar year.

## Description of Business

The Company, located in Greenville, South Carolina, is a registered investment advisor with the state of South Carolina. The firm is also a brokerage firm which is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and a member of FINRA. The Company operates under SEC Rule 15c3-3(k)(1) exemption.

## Basis of Accounting

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and accordingly reflect all significant receivables, payables, and other liabilities.

## Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers as cash all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

## Accounts Receivable - Recognition of Bad Debt

The Corporation considers accounts receivable to be fully collectible; accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts is required. If amounts become uncollectible, they will be charged to operations when that determination is made.

## Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated using the double declining method.

## Revenue Recognition

The Company adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (codified in ASC 606). The revenue recognition guidance requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance requires an entity to follow a five-step model to (a) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (b) identify the performance obligations within the contract, (c) determine the transaction price, (d) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (e) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies its performance obligation. In determining the transaction price, an entity may include variable consideration only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized would not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.

The Company's revenues from client activity comes in two forms: investment advisory fees and Investment Company/mutual fund fees. The Company receives revenue from the sale of investment company shares (mutual funds). Mutual funds are sold via subscription/application or via direct deposit by a customer into their investment account. There

10

is no contract with customers, however the amount of commission paid by the customer is established in the mutual fund prospectus. The Company's portion of the commission, known as a concession, is established in the Selling Agreement between the Company and the mutual fund company sponsor. The amount of commission and concession varies depending on the class of shares, the amount the client invested with the family of funds (Rights of Accumulation) or intends to invest in the family of funds (Letter of Intent). The Company has met its obligation to recognize revenue when the Company submits the application and check to the fund companies' broker-dealer sponsor. Customers may make additional investments into their account without the Company's knowledge, in which case the Company is entitled to a concession based on the amount of investment as set forth in the prospectus and the terms of the Selling Agreement. In such circumstances, the Company has no performance obligation to satisfy and recognizes revenue upon receipt of notification of investment from the mutual fund company sponsor.

The Company also receives 12b-1 fees from the sale of mutual funds. There is no contract between the customer and the Company regarding 12b-1 fees, however the amount of 12b-1 fees due the Company is established in the Selling Agreement between the Company and the mutual fund sponsor. There is no performance obligation required to be performed by the Company to earn and recognize 12b-1 fees. The amount of 12b-1 fees due the Company is calculated based on the average assets under management for the period in which the 12b-1 fee is calculated. The Company does not know the amount of average assets under management until receipt of a statement from the mutual fund company sponsor, at which time the 12b-1 fee revenue is recognized and recorded, based upon the calculation date indicated on the statement from the mutual fund company sponsor. There is no practical way for the Company to determine the amount of what these 12B-1 fees due to the Company from the various mutual fund companies will be so the Company records mutual fund fees as income only as they are received. For the 2022 calendar year, RIA fees and mutual fund fees comprised 97.1%, and 2.4%, respectively.

The Company provides investment advisory services to customers. All advisory fee customers enter into an Investment Advisory Agreement (Agreement) with the Company. The Agreement requires the Company to invest the client assets in return for a fee charged to the client. The Agreement also stipulates that the Client (or a properly authorized agent designated by Client) will be furnished with confirmations of account transactions, periodic account statements and a quarterly monitor of the account detailing account positions and activity. The fee is calculated by applying the quarterly rate to the account value on the final day of the quarter. Fees are earned by the company upon the quarterly period's conclusion. If the account is closed or transferred during the quarter, the fee is prorated through the date of the notice to the Company that the Agreement is to be terminated. Withdrawals and/or contributions can be made at anytime during the period. The Company has satisfied its obligation upon the quarter's ending, at which time the investment advisory fee revenue is recognized.

### Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consists of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the basis of property and equipment for financial and income tax reporting. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company is not aware of any uncertain tax positions in its tax return. We currently have an NOL carry-forward loss that exceeds our current income and is available until 2026. NOL carry-forward losses total $24,073 with $2,197, $9,903, and $11,973 available until 2023, 2025, and 2026, respectively. Due to this, there is no estimate for federal or state income taxes due.

### Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

11

### Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial instruments that are subject to fair value disclosure requirements are carried in the financial statements at amounts that approximate fair value and include cash and cash equivalents. Fair values are based on quoted market prices and assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and assumed discount rates reflecting varying degrees of perceived risk.

### Comprehensive Income

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, establishes requirements for disclosure of Comprehensive Income that includes certain items previously not included in the statement of income, including unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sales securities and foreign currency translation adjustment among others. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company did not have any other components of Comprehensive Income to report.

### Concentrations

The Company has revenue concentrations; the company specializes in trades of mutual funds for its individual and institutional customers and earns RIA fees for managing investment accounts for individuals.

### NOTE B - NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

Pursuant to the net capital provisions of Rule 15c3-3 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, the Company is required to maintain a minimum net capital, as defined under such provisions. Net capital and the related net capital ratio may fluctuate on a daily basis.

### NOTE C - POSSESSION OR CONTROL REQUIREMENTS

The Company does not have any possession or control of customers’ funds or securities. There were no material inadequacies in the procedures followed in adhering to the exemptive provisions of SEC Rule 15c-3-3(k)(1) by promptly transmitting all customer funds or securities to the custodial firm who maintains the customer accounts.

### NOTE D - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

As of December 31, 2022, the Company is owed from its employee $10,000.00 on a non-interest bearing, unsecured loan. The Company also leases its office space from a related party at the current rate of $1,200 per month. The total rental payments to the related party were $14,400 for the year-ended December 31, 2022, which is included as a component of rent expense on the statement of income.

### NOTE E - OTHER COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had no other commitments or contingencies

12

## NOTE F - PROPERTY, EQUIPMENT AND LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS

Property, equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is calculated on the double declining method. The following is a summary of property, equipment and leasehold improvements:

|  | Estimated Useful Life |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Automobile | 5 years | $34,509 |
| Furniture and equipment | 3 - 7 years | $47,880 |
| Leasehold improvements | 7 years | 0 |
| Sub-total |  | $82,389 |

# Statement Related to Uniform Net Capital Rule

The Company is a member of the FINRA and is subject to the SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule 15c3-1. This rule requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, shall not exceed 1500% (15:1), or, during its first year of operations, 800% (8:1). Net capital and the related net capital ratio may fluctuate on a daily basis. At December 31, 2022, the Company had net capital of $280,877 which was $275,877 in excess of its required net capital of $5,000. The Company's ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 7.66%. The Company has elected to use the basic computation method, as is permitted by the rule, which requires that the Company maintain minimum Net Capital pursuant to a fixed dollar amount or 6-2/3% percent of total aggregate indebtedness, as defined, whichever is greater, and does not, therefore, calculate its net capital requirement under the alternative reserve requirement method. There were no material differences reported as Net Capital in the audited computation of Net Capital and the broker-dealer's corresponding unaudited Part IIA of the FOCUS report required under Rule 15c3-1.

# Statement Related to Exemptive Provision (Possession and Control)

The Company does not have possession or control of customer's funds or securities. There were no material inadequacies in the procedures followed in adhering to the Company's operating pursuant to 15c3-3(k)(1).

# Statement Related to Material Inadequacies

This audit did not disclose any material inadequacies since the previous audit of the financial statements in the accounting system or in the internal control related to reporting or the practices and procedures required pursuant to Rule 17a-5. The firm does not maintain customer funds or securities and, therefore, does not maintain customer funds to segregate nor does it maintain separate accounts for customers.

# Statement Related to SIPC Reconciliation

SEA Rule 17a-5(e)(4) requires a registered broker-dealer not exempt from SIPC membership with gross revenues the exceed $500,000 to file an Agreed Upon Procedures Report (AUP Report). SIPC members with gross revenues below $500,000 are not required to file an AUP Report. Broker-dealers exempt from SIPC membership must file a Form SIPC-3 and are required to file an AUP Report. If an AUP Report is required to file with SIPC, such report may be filed separately or included within this Supplemental Information section.

Dear Nelson Battle Arrington, III:

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Representation Report of Exemptions, in which V.M. Manning & Co., Inc. identified 15c3-3(k)(1) as the provision under 17 C.F.R. § 15c3-3(k) under which it claims exemption from 17 C.F.R. §240.15c3-3. V.M. Manning & Co., Inc. stated that it has met the 15c3-3(k)(1) exemption throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception, or, with exception, as noted in the Representation Letter of Exemption. V.M. Manning & Co., 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 V.M. Manning & Co., 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 Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

We are not engaged to and did not conduct an examination for which the objective would be to express an opinion on compliance. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Had we performed additional procedures other matters might have come to our attention that would have been reported.
