# NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2022

# NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

# Nature of Operations

This Tennessee Limited Liability Company (LLC) received a substantial members' capital contribution on May 1, 1996, and began operations as a broker-dealer on the same date. One of the founding members was Wiley Bros., Inc. which contributed a substantial part of the starting capital, and prior to May 1 had operated as a broker-dealer. After making their capital contribution, Wiley Bros., Inc. ceased operations as a broker-dealer and transferred their license to the new entity. As a Limited Liability Company, the members' liability is limited. The Company is registered with the SEC and is a member of FINRA.

# Reporting Period

The Limited Liability Company's year ends on December 31, 2022.

# Revenue Recognition - Securities Transactions

Security transactions are recorded in the accounts on a trade-date basis. Marketable securities at December 31, 2022 are valued at fair value in accordance with FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.

# Receivables from Brokers and Dealers

Receivables from brokers and dealers are stated at the amount management expects to collect from balances outstanding at year end. Based on management's assessment of the credit history with its broker-dealer and other customers having outstanding balances and current relationships with them, it has concluded that realized losses on balances outstanding at year end will be immaterial.

# Property and Depreciation

Office equipment and leasehold improvements are carried at cost and are depreciated using accelerated and straight-line methods over their estimated useful lives.

# Retirement Plan

The Company maintains a qualified retirement plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the plan, employees may elect to defer a percentage of their salary, subject to Internal Revenue Service limits. In addition, the plan allows for the Company to make discretionary contributions based on the participant's salary. Company contributions to the plan were $357,859 for the current period.

# Income Taxes

Federal income taxes are not payable by the Limited Liability Company, or provided for in this financial statement. The Limited Liability Company members are taxed individually on their share of the Limited Liability Company's earnings. State income taxes have been accrued in the amount of $0.00.

# DECEMBER 31, 2022

# NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: - continued

# Uncertain Tax Positions

Management has determined that the Company does not have any uncertain tax positions and associated unrecognized benefits or liabilities 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 or its members will not be subject to additional tax, penalties, and interest as a result of such a challenge. Generally, the Company's tax returns remain open for three years for federal income tax examination.

# Cash Flows

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

# Member Allocation

The members have an agreement as to the allocation of net earnings and distributions subject to extensive provisions as agreed to by the members.

# Other Assets

Other assets consist of employee advances and loans, and other receivables.

# Estimates

Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenue and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

# Revenue from contracts with customers

The Company records revenues under the provisions of ASC 606, using a five-step revenue model to recognize revenue from contracts with customers. The five steps used in this process are: 1) identify the contract, 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, 3) determine the transaction price, 4) allocate the price to the performance obligations, and 5) recognize the revenue. Under this standard, recognition of revenue occurs when a customer obtains control of promised services or goods in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount of timing of and cash flows from customer contracts.

# WILEY BROS. - AINTREE CAPITAL, LLC

# NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued

DECEMBER 31, 2022

# NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: - continued

# 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 counterparty and confirms the trade with 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.

# Investment Banking

Underwriting fees. The Company underwrites securities for governmental entities that want to raise funds through a sale of securities. Revenues are earned from fees arising from securities offerings in which the Company acts as an underwriter. Gain or Loss is recognized on the trade date (the date on which the Company purchases the securities from the issuer) for the portion the Company is contracted to buy. The Company believes that the trade date is the appropriate point in time to recognize revenue for securities underwriting transactions as there are no significant actions which the Company needs to take subsequent to this date and the issuer obtains the control and benefit of the capital markets offering at that point.

Underwriting costs that are deferred under the guidance in FASB ASC 940-340-25-3 are recognized in expense at the time the related revenues are recorded. In the event that transactions are not completed and the securities are not issued, the Company immediately expenses those costs.

# Asset Management

Investment advisory fees. The Company provides investment advisory services on a daily 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 are recognized as revenue at the time as they relate specifically to the services provided in that period, which are distinct from the services provided in other periods.

# NOTE 2 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

In the normal course of business the Company purchases and sells securities as both principal and/or agent. If another party to the transaction fails to perform as agreed (for example failure to deliver a security or failure to pay for a security) the Company may incur a loss if the market value of the security is different from the contract amount of the transaction.

# NOTE 3 - NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

As a registered broker-dealer, the Company is subject to the requirements of Rule 15c-3-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. At December 31, 2022, the Company's net capital of $2,364,068 was $2,114,068 in excess of the minimum requirement of $250,000.

# NOTE 7 - CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Management believes the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk related to cash.

# NOTE 8 - NOTE PAYABLE - SECURED

The Company has a secured bank line of credit used to finance inventory purchases. The loan is renewed annually and has a variable interest rate that was 6.77% at December 31, 2022. The loan contains financial covenants pertaining to the Company's equity balance with which the Company was in compliance.

# NOTE 9 - ADVERTISING

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $36,138 for the period ended December 31, 2022.

# NOTE 10 - CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

From time to time the Company has claims pending against it. At February 28, 2023, there were no significant claims pending against the Company. In the opinion of management, the ultimate liabilities, if any, resulting from such claims will not materially affect the financial position of the Company.

# **DECEMBER 31, 2022**

# **NOTE 11 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT**

FASB 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 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 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities the Company has the ability to access.
- Level 2 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 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.)

The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for those assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2022.

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis
as of December 31, 2022:

|  | Fair Value | Level 1 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Securities owned | $2,323,185 | $2,323,185 |

**DECEMBER 31, 2022**

# **NOTE 12 - RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES**

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to various claims and litigation arising from normal business operations. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, the outcome of individual litigated matters is not predictable with assurance, and it is reasonably possible that some legal actions or claims could be decided as unfavorable to the Company. Although the amount of ultimate liabilities with respect to such matters cannot be ascertained, management is of the belief that any resulting liability should not materially affect the financial position of the Company.

# **NOTE 13 - DATE OF MANAGEMENT’S REVIEW**

Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date of the auditor’s report which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

To the Members of

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Exemption Report, in which (1) Wiley Bros. - Aintree Capital, LLC identified the following provision of 17 C.F.R. §15c3-3(k) under which Wiley Bros. - Aintree Capital, LLC claimed an exemption from 17 C.F.R. §240.15c3-3:(k)(2)(ii) (the exemption provision) and (2) Wiley Bros. - Aintree Capital, LLC stated that Wiley Bros. - Aintree Capital, LLC met the identified exemption provision throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception. Wiley Bros. - Aintree Capital, LLC'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 Wiley Bros. - Aintree Capital, LLC'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.

To the Members of

We have performed the procedures included in Rule 17a-5(e)(4) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and in the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) Series 600 Rules, which are enumerated below on the accompanying General Assessment Reconciliation (Form SIPC-7) for the year ended December 31, 2022. Management of Wiley Bros. - Aintree Capital, LLC (the Company) is responsible for its Form SIPC-7 and for its compliance with the applicable instructions on Form SIPC-7.

Management of the Company has agreed to and acknowledged that the procedures performed are appropriate to meet the intended purpose of assisting you and SIPC in evaluating the Company's compliance with the applicable instructions on Form SIPC-7 for the year ended December 31, 2022. Additionally, SIPC has agreed to and acknowledged that the procedures performed are appropriate for their intended purpose. This report may not be suitable for any other purpose. The procedures performed may not address all the items of interest to a user of this report and may not meet the needs of all users of this report and, as such, users are responsible for determining whether the procedures performed are appropriate for their purposes. The sufficiency of these procedures is solely the responsibility of those parties specified in this report. Consequently, we make no representation regarding the sufficiency of the procedures described below either for the purpose for which this report has been requested or for any other purpose. The procedures we performed and our associated findings are as follows:

1) Compared the listed assessment payments in Form SIPC-7 with respective cash disbursement records entries, noting no differences;
2) Compared the Total Revenue amounts reported on the Annual Audited Report Form X-17A-5 Part III for the year ended December 31, 2022 with the Total Revenue amount reported in Form SIPC-7 for the year ended December 31, 2022, noting no differences;
3) Compared any adjustments reported in Form SIPC-7 with supporting schedules and working papers, noting no differences;
4) Recalculated the arithmetical accuracy of the calculations reflected in Form SIPC-7 and in the related schedules and working papers supporting the adjustments, noting no differences; and
5) Compared the amount of any overpayment applied to the current assessment with the Form SIPC-7 on which it was originally computed, noting no differences.

We were engaged by the Company to perform this agreed-upon procedures engagement and conducted our engagement in accordance with attestation standards established by the AICPA and in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). We were not engaged to and did not conduct an examination or a review engagement, the objective of which would be the expression of an opinion or conclusion, respectively, on the Company's Form SIPC-7 and for its compliance with the applicable instructions on Form SIPC-7 for the year ended December 31, 2022. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion or conclusion. Had we performed additional procedures, other matters might have come to our attention that would have been reported to you.

We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements related to our agreed-upon procedures engagement.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Company and SIPC and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
