NexBank Securities, Inc.

Dallas, Texas

# Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of NexBank Securities, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2022, the related statements of operations, changes in stockholder's equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "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 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 statements are 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 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 financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2022

# 1. Organization and Nature of Business

NexBank Securities, Inc. (Company), a Delaware Corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of NexBank Capital, Inc. (NCI). The Company also does business as NexBank Capital Advisors and NexBank Wealth Advisors.

NexBank Wealth Advisors is an Investment Advisor. The division was established in 2018.

The Company is a registered broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). The Company is exempt from the provisions of SEC Rule 15c3-3 by relying on Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073.

# 2. Significant Accounting Policies

# Basis of Accounting

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

# 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 amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

# Cash

Cash includes unrestricted cash on deposit of $2,357,000 as of December 31, 2022. Of the total amount, approximately $61,000 was in an affiliated bank (NexBank).

The Company has cash deposits at an unaffiliated commercial bank of which approximately $2,046,000 are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) at December 31, 2022.

# Fixed Assets

Fixed assets consist of furniture, equipment, and leasehold improvements, which are reported at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is determined by use of the straight-line method over the estimated life of the asset, or, in the case of leasehold improvements, the shorter of the estimated life or the remaining term of the related lease. Upon disposal of fixed assets, the related gain or loss is included in income.

# Equity Investment

The Company purchased a privately held equity investment in 2021 for approximately $719,000. This equity investment is recorded at estimated fair value, which is the exchange price that would be received (an exit price) for the principal in an orderly transaction between willing market participants on the remeasurement date. The fair value of this equity investment at December 31, 2022 was approximately $1,749,000. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are presented separately on the statement of operations. The unrealized gain on the investment for 2022 was approximately $453,000, which was recognized on the statement of operations. This investment provides cash dividends if and when declared by its board of directors. The Company accounts for these dividends on a cash basis and are recorded on the statement of operations.

ASC Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures," establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value of the Company's equity investment is designated as a Level 3 Input under the standard. A level 3 input is based on unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality and the Company's creditworthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time. The Company's valuation

# NEXBANK SECURITIES, INC.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2022

methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While management believes the Company's valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. Furthermore, the reported fair value amounts have not been comprehensively revalued since the presentation dates, and therefore, estimates of fair value after the statement of financial condition date may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

# Income Taxes

Income tax expense includes the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expect to be realized.

A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is "more likely than not" that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the "more likely than not" test, no tax benefit is recorded.

The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company files a consolidated Federal income tax return with its parent. The Company is party to a tax sharing agreement that provides for tax treatment as if the Company filed taxes on a stand-alone basis.

# Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through March 30, 2023, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

# 3. Fixed Assets

Fixed assets at December 31, 2022 consisted of the following (in thousands):

| Leasehold improvements | $388 |
| --- | --- |
| Computer and other equipment | 159 |
| Furniture and fixtures | 119 |
|  | 666 |
| Less accumulated depreciation and amortization | (643) |
|  | $23 |

# 4. Real Estate Interest and Variable Interest Entities

As of December 31, 2022, the Company did not hold any real estate interests.

# Partnership:

During 2022, the Company held an investment as a limited partner in a land development partnership. Pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreements, the Company was to receive an 8% preferred return on its investment and a 20% split of profits upon completion of the project and sale of the underlying lots. This partnership terminated March 3, 2022. The loss recorded at termination was approximately $2,000.

# 5. Related Party Transactions

Certain expenses incurred by affiliated entities are allocated to the Company pursuant to the terms of a management agreement between these entities. Total expenses allocated to the Company and expensed by the Company during 2022 amounted to approximately $106,000, including rent allocation of approximately $4,000, as discussed in Note 8.

# 6. Employee Benefits

The Company, together with its parent company and other affiliates, has a noncontributory profit-sharing plan integrated with a contributory 401(k) employee benefit plan (Plan) covering substantially all employees. Employees generally become eligible in the Plan upon attainment of the age of 21, with entry dates of January 1 and July 1 of each year. Under the Plan, the Board of Directors may contribute, at their discretion and subject to annual limitations, certain amounts in the form of matching, profit sharing and/or qualified non-elective contributions. Plan expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 amounted to approximately $34,000.

# 7. Income Taxes

Income tax expense was as follows (in thousands):

| Tax Expense |  |
| --- | --- |
| Current tax expense | $(49) |
| Deferred tax benefit | 71 |
| Total | $22 |

The effective tax rate is approximately 15.8% for 2022 applied to income before income taxes. The calculation of the effective tax rate follows (dollars in thousands):

| --- | --- |

| Tax return to provision - real estate and equity investments | (7) |
| Tax expense | $22 |

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2022

Year-end deferred tax assets and liabilities were due to the following (in thousands):

| Deferred tax assets |  |
| --- | --- |
| Accrued compensation | $13 |
| Other | 15 |
| Total deferred tax assets | 28 |
| Deferred tax liability |  |
| Equity investments | (216) |
| Other | (3) |
| Total deferred tax liability | (219) |
| Net deferred tax liability | $(191) |

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. As of December 31, 2022, no valuation allowance for deferred taxes was recorded as management believes it is more likely than not that all deferred tax assets will be realized.

The Company does not have any uncertain tax positions and does not have any interest and penalties recorded in the Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company is part of a consolidated income tax return in the US. The company is no longer subject to examination by the US federal tax jurisdiction for years prior to 2019.

# 8. Commitments, Guarantees and Contingent Liabilities

The Company includes lease extension and termination options in the lease term if, after considering relevant economic factors, it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise the option. In addition, the Company has elected to account for any non-lease components in its real estate leases as part of the associated lease component. The Company has also elected not to recognize leases with original lease terms of 12 months or less (short-term leases) on the Company's Statement of Financial Condition.

Leases are classified as operating or finance leases at the lease commencement date. Lease expense for operating leases and short-term leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term.

The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement to calculate the present value of lease payments when the rate implicit in a lease is not known. The Company's incremental borrowing rate is based on the FHLB amortizing rate, adjusted for the lease term and other factors.

The Company leases its primary office facility under an informal lease agreement with NexBank, an affiliate through common ownership, which expires August 31, 2032. Under the agreement, the Company is allocating 2% of the total lease payments required by NexBank. The allocation rate of 2% became effective October 2018. On January 1, 2019 (date of adoption of ASU 2016-02), the Company recorded a right of use asset and operating lease liability of $29,000 and $32,000, respectively, related to this arrangement. These amounts were determined based on the present value of the remaining minimum lease payments, discounted using the Company's incremental borrowing rate as of the date of adoption of 5.5%. At that time, it was uncertain as to whether or not the lease would be extended further. On June 18, 2020, the primary office facility lease was extended to expire on August 31, 2032. The Company recorded a right of use asset and operating lease liability of $160,000 and $162,000, respectively, in 2020 related to this extension. These amounts were determined based on the present value of the remaining minimum lease payments with a remaining term of 128 months, discounted using the Company's incremental

- 10 -

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2022

borrowing rate as of the date of extension of 3.25%. Following is a summary of future minimum lease commitments under this agreement (in thousands):

| Year | Amount |
| --- | --- |
| 2023 | $12 |
| 2024 | 7 |
| 2025 | 20 |
| Thereafter | 143 |
| Total minimum lease payments | 182 |
| Less amount representing interest | 34 |
| Present value of net minimum lease payments | $148 |

Total rent expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 amounted to approximately $4,000, substantially all of which was allocated from related parties.

The current balance of the deferred rent is approximately $132,000. Deferred rent is reported along with the lease obligations above in other liabilities.

The Company does not anticipate any material losses as a result of the commitments and contingent liabilities.

# 9. Net Capital Requirements

The Company is required by Rule 15c3-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to maintain minimum net capital as defined, which is the greater of $5,000 or 6 2/3% of total aggregate indebtedness.

# Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Stockholder and Board of Directors

NexBank Securities, Inc.

Dallas, Texas

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Rule 15c3-3 Exemption Report pursuant to SEC Rule 17a-5, in which (1) NexBank Securities, Inc. (the Company) did not claim an exemption under paragraph (k) of 17 C.F.R. §240.15c3-3, and (2) the Company is filing this Exemption Report relying on Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5 because the Company limits its business activities exclusively to proprietary real estate and other investments and (3) the Company stated it did not directly or indirectly receive, hold, or otherwise owe funds or securities for or to customers (other than money or other consideration received and promptly transmitted in compliance with paragraph (a) or (b)(2) of Rule 15c2-4 and/or funds received and promptly transmitted for effecting transactions via subscriptions on a subscription way basis where the funds are payable to the issuer or its agent and not to the Company), did not carry accounts of or for customers, and did not carry PAB accounts (as defined in Rule 15c3-3) throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception.

The Company's management is responsible for compliance with the provisions of Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R.§240.17a-5 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 the Company'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 Company's business activities contemplated by Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 CFR §240.17a-5.
