# **WEALTH MANAGEMENT RESOURCES, INC.**  
**NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**  
**December 31, 2022**

# **Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

**Nature of Business** - Wealth Management Resources, Inc. ('the Company'), a Rhode Island Corporation, was formed in 1994. The Company is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ('SEC') as a broker/dealer and as an investment advisor. The Company is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. The Company earns fees for investment advisory services, charged as a percentage of assets under management. The Company earns commissions from sales of several types of investments, including shares of mutual funds and other securities, annuities, and various insurance products.

**Basis of Accounting** - The Company's financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis and on the basis of accounting principles that are generally accepted in the United States of America.

**Revenue Recognition** - The Company earns commissions from sales of several types of investments, including shares of mutual funds and other securities, annuities, and various insurance products. Commissions and related clearing expenses are recorded on the trade date. 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 of ownership have been transferred to or from the customer.

The Company also earns commissions paid by mutual funds over the period of time that the Company's customers continue to hold investments in the mutual funds. The services performed for such commissions are considered to be performed over time as the Company advises its customers to continue holding investments in the mutual funds, and the revenue is therefore recognized at the time payments are earned.

The Company provides investment advisory services for many of its customers on a continuing basis. The Company believes the performance obligation for providing advisory services is satisfied over time because the customer is receiving and consuming the benefits as they are provided by the Company. Fee arrangements are based on a percentage applied to the customer's assets under management. Fees are received quarterly and recognized as revenue at that time as they relate specifically to the services provided in each quarter.

**Income Taxes** - The Company, with the consent of its stockholders, has elected to be taxed as an S corporation under subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. As an S corporation, the Company generally does not pay corporate income taxes. Instead, the Company's stockholders report the taxable income or loss and other items of tax significance on their individual income tax returns.

# **WEALTH MANAGEMENT RESOURCES, INC.**  
**NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**  
**December 31, 2022**

# **Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)**

# **Income Taxes (Continued)**

Management believes that it is more likely than not that its position regarding the Company's S Corporation status would be sustained upon examination. Accordingly, the Company's financial statements do not reflect a liability for income taxes. The Company's federal and state income tax returns are subject to examination by taxing authorities for a period of three years from the date they are filed. The earliest year still open and subject to examination is 2019.

**Investment Securities** -Investment securities are carried at fair value. Gains or losses realized upon sale of the investments are included in net income, as are the changes in unrealized gains and losses during the reporting period.

**Fair Value Measurements** - Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company is required to classify its fair value measurements based on a hierarchy of valuation inputs as follows:

| Level 1 | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. |
| --- | --- |
| Level 2 | Quoted prices for securities in markets that are not active; quoted prices in active markets for securities which are not identical to those being valued; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability being valued, either directly or indirectly. |
| Level 3 | Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurements and unobservable. |

**Use of Estimates** - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

| Furniture & Other Office Equipment | 7-10 Years |

**Cash and Cash Equivalents** - Cash and cash equivalents includes a checking account at a bank and a cash account at a broker.

Market risk is the potential loss the Company may incur as a result of changes in the fair value of its investment securities. The value of marketable securities is subject to the risk of unfavorable movements in market prices.

The Company has investment advisory fees receivable due from SEI and Charles Schwab, the custodians of investment accounts belonging to the Company's clients. Such fees are charged to the client accounts at the end of each quarter, and are typically remitted by SEI and Charles Schwab in the following month.

The Company's cash account at a bank is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ('FDIC'). The Company's cash account at a broker is primarily held in a bank sweep account which is also covered by FDIC insurance.

# Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders of

Wealth Management Resources, Inc.

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