FAMILY INVESTORS COMPANY, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2022

## 1) NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

### Nature of Operations

Family Investors Company, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of New Jersey on April 1, 1960. The Company is an introducing broker registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). The Company is exempt from rule 15c3-3 of the SEC under paragraph (K)(2)(ii) of that rule.

### Basis of Accounting

Revenue and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

### ASC 606 Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASC 606"). The requirements of ASC 606 were effective for the Company for the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach, and in conjunction with the adoption, management evaluated the new guidance in ASC 606 and determined that there is no change in the manner that the Company recognizes revenue. Furthermore, management has determined that the required guidance in ASC 606 does not have an impact on the Company’s financial or regulatory capital.

### Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments, except for those held or long-term investment, with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

### Deposit at Clearing Broker

A cash deposit is required to be held by the clearing broker in order to maintain a contractual clearing agreement.

See Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

FAMILY INVESTORS COMPANY, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D)
DECEMBER 31, 2022

## Securities Transactions

The Company accepts customer orders and self clears the orders except for equity securities, which clear through another broker. The clearing broker settles the equity security transaction and pays the Company a commission.

Customer payments for the investment company shares are payable directly to the investment company.

## Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation for property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for financial purposes at rates based on the following estimated useful lives:

|  | Years |
| --- | --- |
| Office Equipment | 7 |
| Furniture | 5 |

Upon sale or retirement, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the respective accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is reported. Expenditures for major renewals and improvements that extend the useful lives of the property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for the maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

See Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

FAMILY INVESTORS COMPANY, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D)
DECEMBER 31, 2022

## Revenue and Cost Recognition

Commissions and related expenses are recorded on a trade-date basis as securities transactions clear.

## Advertising Costs

The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $10,219.

## Income Taxes and Deferred Taxes

The Company is taxed as a C-corporation pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state laws. The company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred income taxes for differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax consequence for those differences, which will either be deductible or taxable when assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. If it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on the deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

## Uncertain Tax Positions

The Company is required to recognize, measure, classify, and disclose in the financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the Company's tax returns. Management has determined that the Company does not have any uncertain tax positions and associated unrecognized benefits that materially impact the financial statements or related disclosures. Since tax matters are subject to some degree of uncertainty, there can be no assurance that the Company's tax returns will not be challenged by the taxing authorities and that the Company will not be subject to additional tax, penalties, and interest as a result of such challenge. Generally, the Company's current and prior three years tax returns remain subject for income tax examination as of December 31, 2022.

See Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

FAMILY INVESTORS COMPANY, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D)
DECEMBER 31, 2022

## Receivables from Non-Customers

Commission revenue and other fees due from the clearing broker and investment companies but not yet received that are expected to be collected within one year is recorded as receivables from non-customers at a net realized value. If amounts become uncollectible, they will be charged to the operations when that determination is made.

## Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the generally accepted accounting principles 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 the revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from the estimates.

## Date of Management's Review

Management has evaluated subsequent events through February 27, 2023 which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

## 2) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures of investments in equity securities and mutual funds that are classified as available-for-sale on a recurring basis.

The Fair Market Value Measurements Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The disclosures required under this Topic have been included in this note.

## Fair Value Hierarchy

The Fair Market Value Measurements Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishes a fair market value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy give the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

See Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

FAMILY INVESTORS COMPANY, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D)
DECEMBER 31, 2022

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included with Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

## Determination of Fair Value

Under the Fair Value Measurements Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, the Company bases its fair value on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It is the Company’s policy to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements, in accordance with the fair value hierarchy.

## Cash Value and Cash Equivalents, Short Term Financial Instruments, Receivables from Non-Customers and Accounts Payable

The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of instruments.

## Investments in Mutual Funds

Investments in mutual funds that are classified as available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Investments in mutual funds are valued at the net asset value (“NAV”) of shares held by the Company at year-end. Management believes that the valuations used in its financial statements are reasonable and are appropriately classified in the fair value hierarchy. Realized gains and losses, determined using the specific identification method, are included in earnings; as are unrealized holdings gains and losses.

## Assets Measured and Recognized at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The table below presents the amounts of assets measured at fair value recurring basis as of December 31, 2022:

|  | Total | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Mutual funds | $479,730 | $479,730 | $ - | $ - |

See Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

## 3) RESERVED CASH

The Company is required to maintain reserve funds on deposit with the clearing broker. The required reserve at December 31, 2022 was $50,000. Cash on deposit in the reserve amounted to $50,933 at December 31, 2022.

## 4) RECEIVABLES FROM NON-CUSTOMERS

Amounts receivable from the clearing broker investment companies at December 31, 2022 consist of fees and commissions receivable in the amount of $157,998. The Company believes its receivables to be fully collectible; accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts was recorded for the year then ended.

## 5) SECURITIES OWNED - MARKETABLE

As of December 31, 2022, the Company has no holdings in equity securities classified as securities owned at market in the statement of financial condition. Marketable securities owned are considered trading securities by management. At December 31, 2022, marketable securities consist of mutual funds in the amount of $479,730.

## 6) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

The following is a summary of property and equipment less accumulated depreciation as of December 31, 2022. Depreciation expense for the year then ended was $5,508.

| Furniture and fixtures | $45,245 |
| --- | --- |
| Office equipment | 50,869 |
|  | 96,114 |
| Less accumulated depreciation | 85,664 |
|  | $10,450 |

See Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

DECEMBER 31, 2022

## 7) INCOME TAX

The income tax expense (benefit) for the year ended December 31, 2022 consists of the following:

| Current |  |
| --- | --- |
| Federal | $13,497 |
| State and local | 3,337 |
|  | 16,834 |
| Deferred |  |
| Federal | (22,986) |
| State and local | (7,610) |
|  | (30,596) |
|  | $(13,762) |

The income tax benefit reported on the statement of income differs from the amounts that would result from applying statutory tax rates to income before income tax primarily because of the dividend received deduction, the charitable contribution deductibility, and the unrealized gain/loss deductibility. The deferred tax asset of $14,689 as of December 31, 2022 relates primarily to the net unrealized gain position as this will be realized only upon disposition, this item is non-current. The Company has chosen to early adopt the amendments in FASB Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2015-17 Balance Sheet Classifications of Deferred Taxes, prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted.

## 8) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

The Company maintains a contributory profit sharing plan as defined under section 401(k) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service Code covering substantially all employees. Company contributes to the plan at a rate of 6% of the employees' eligible compensation. Employer contributions during the year ended December 31, 2022 were $59,378.

## 9) CONCENTRATION OF RISK

The Company is engaged in various activities in which counter-parties primarily include broker-dealers, banks, and other financial institutions. In the event counter-parties do not fill their obligations, the Company may be exposed to risk. The risk of default depends on the creditworthiness of the counter-party or issuer of the instrument.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, commissions from three companies represented approximately 62% of the total commissions earned.

The Company maintains in its cash balances various financial institutions. The balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000. At December 31, 2022, cash balance held by the clearing broker totaled $50,933, and the cash balance held in the money market fund totaled $769. These balances are not insured by the FDIC.

## 10) NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Company is subject to the SEC 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 net capital, both as defined, shall not exceed 15 to 1. At December 31, 2022, the Company had net capital of $506,794 which was $456,794 in excess of its required net capital. The Company’s ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital as of December 31, 2022 was 0.77 to 1.0.

## 11) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has made a review of material subsequent events from December 31, 2022 through the date of this report and found no material subsequent events occurring during this period.

## 12) REVENUES FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

### Significant Judgments

Revenue from contracts with customers includes commission income. The recognition and measurement of revenue is based on the assessment of individual contract terms. Significant judgment is required to determine whether performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time; how to allocate transaction prices where multiple performance obligations are identified; when to recognize revenue based on the appropriate measure of the Company’s progress under the contract; whether revenue should be presented gross or net of certain costs; and whether constraints on variable consideration should be applied due to uncertain future events.

## Commissions

Brokerage commissions: The Company buys and sells securities on behalf of its customers. Each time a customer enters into a buy or sell transaction, the Company charges a commission. Commissions and related clearing expenses are recorded on the trade date (the date that the Company fills the trade order by finding and contracting with a counterparty and confirms the trade with the customer). The Company believes that the performance obligation is satisfied on the trade date because that is when the underlying financial instrument or purchaser is identified, the pricing is agreed upon and the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to/from the customer.

## Disaggregated Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The following table presents revenue by major source.

Revenue from contracts with customers
Commissions
Brokerage Commissions $2,107,524
Total commission revenue $2,107,524
Total revenue from contracts with customers $2,107,524

## 13) ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY RELATED TO COVID-19 AND MARKET RISKS

In early 2020, the Coronavirus that causes COVID-19 became a global pandemic. While the disruption is currently expected to be temporary, there is considerable uncertainty around the duration of this disruption. Therefore, the extent of the financial impact to the ongoing operations of the Company and duration cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Market risks include risks related to pandemics and international conflicts. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had sufficient liquidity to continue operations into the foreseeable future.

# Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Family Investors Company, Inc.:

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Exemption Report, in which (1) Family Investors Company, Inc. (the "Company") identified the following provision of 17 C.F.R. §15c3-3(k) under which Family Investors Company, Inc. claimed an exemption from 17 C.F.R. §240.15c3-3: (k)(2)(ii) (exemption provision) and (2) Family Investors Company, Inc. stated that the Company met the identified exemption provision throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception. Family Investors Company, Inc.'s management is responsible for compliance with the exemption provision 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 Family Investors Company, Inc.'s compliance with the exemption provision. 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 provision set forth in paragraph (k)(2)(ii) of Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
