## NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

### NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

Concorde Investment Services, LLC (the “Company”) is a securities broker-dealer organized as a limited liability company. The Company received its articles of organization from the State of Michigan in July 2009 and registered with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in August 2010.

The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Concorde Holdings, Inc (Parent Company).

### NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

#### Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recorded when: (i) a contract with a client has been identified, (ii) the performance obligation(s) in the contract have been identified, (iii) the transaction price has been determined, (iv) the transaction price has been allocated to each performance obligation in the contract, and (v) the Company has satisfied the applicable performance obligation. The expenses that are directly related to such transactions are recorded as incurred and presented within operating expenses. Revenue associated with the reimbursement of such expenses are recorded when the Company is contractually entitled to reimbursement and presented within other income.

The Company provides transaction related services to its customers. Securities transactions and the related commission revenue and expenses are recorded on a trade date basis. Disaggregated revenue is presented in the accompanying statement of operations.

Accounts receivable and contract balances from contracts with customers were as follows. Accounts receivable approximated $1,864,000 and $5,448,000 as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

#### Management Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

#### Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risks

In the normal course of business, the Company’s activities involve the execution, settlement and financing of various securities transactions. These activities may expose the Company to off-balance sheet risk in the event the other party to the transaction is unable to fulfill its contractual obligation.

# CONCORDE INVESTMENT SERVICES, LLC

## NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

### NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

#### Federal Income Taxes

The Company files a consolidated income tax return with its Parent Company and subsidiaries. The provision for Federal income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2022 is based on a separate return filing.

The Company recognizes and measures its unrecognized tax benefits in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes. The primary objective of ASC 740 is to prescribe measurement and disclosure requirements for income tax provisions when uncertainty exists as to whether the reporting entity’s tax positions would be sustained in the event of an examination. Company management believes that there are no material uncertainties in which tax positions taken would not be sustained upon examination. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal income tax examinations for years before 2019 or state income tax examinations for years before 2018.

#### Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through March 28, 2023 which is the same date the financial statements were available to be issued.

### NOTE 3 - TRANSACTIONS WITH PARENT COMPANY

The Parent Company provides furniture and fixtures, personnel, general administrative and consulting services to the Company in connection with the Company’s business. Reimbursement of these expenses is based on an itemized schedule of amounts paid.

For the year ended December 31, 2022 charges for the services provided by Concorde Holdings, Inc. approximated $18,000, and are included in sales, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of operations.

### NOTE 4 - NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1). Based on the provisions of this rule, the Company must maintain net capital equivalent to the greater of $50,000 or 1/15th of aggregate indebtedness, as defined.

At December 31, 2022, the Company’s net capital totaled $4,226,067 which was $4,015,746 in excess of its required net capital of $210,321. The ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital (which may not exceed 15 to 1) was .75 to 1.

# **CONCORDE INVESTMENT SERVICES, LLC**---**NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

# **NOTE 5 - RIGHT OF USE ASSETS / LEASE OBLIGATIONS**

In 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02 (ASC 842), Leases. The Company leases its primary office space. In accordance with ASC 842 the Company recognized a right of use (ROU) asset and the corresponding lease liability at the commencement of the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized on the Company’s balance sheet at the present value of future lease payments related to the use of the underlying asset(s) during the lease term(s). The Company employs its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate to determine the present value of future lease payments as the implicit rate in the lease arrangement is not readily determinable. The incremental borrowing rate is based on the rate of interest the Company would incur on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equivalent to the lease payments under similar terms and in a similar economic environment. The rate is presently being employed for these calculations is 6.0%.

Future minimum lease payments for the Company subsequent the December 31, 2022 are as follows:

| Year Ended December 31 | Amount |
| --- | --- |
| 2023 | $102,048 |
| 2024 | 25,672 |
|  | 127,720 |
| Less imputed interest | ( 15,915) |
| Total ROU assets and related lease obligations | $111,805 |

The lease agreement includes escalation clauses for lessor taxes and other operating expenses which will increase future years minimum rental payments.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, the total expense pursuant to the above leases amounted to $100,000.

Furniture and equipment is provided by the Parent Company, the charge for which is included in the administrative payments made to Concorde Holdings, Inc (see Note 3).

# **NOTE 6 - CONTINGENCIES**

At December 31, 2022, the Company was involved in various pending arbitration proceedings with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) regarding claims by individuals for investment decisions made on their behalf by former registered representatives of the Company. The disposition of these matters, in the opinion of management, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.

[10]---

# ---## **CONCORDE INVESTMENT SERVICES, LLC**---

### ***NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS***

#### **NOTE 6 - CONTINGENCIES (Continued)**

During 2022, the Company entered into settlement agreements with individuals regarding various investment claims against the Company and its former registered representatives. The settlements approximated $1,028,000 and are included in sales, general and administrative expenses in the statement of operations.

#### **NOTE 7 - COVID -19 PANDEMIC IMPACTS AND RESPONSE**

As the pandemic continues, the extent of impact on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on future developments all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted.

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 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.

# **REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

Board of Directors and Member of Concorde Investment Services, LLC
Livonia, Michigan

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Exemption Report, in which Concorde Investment Services, LLC identified the following provisions of 17 C.F.R. §15c3-3(k) under which Concorde Investment Services, LLC claimed the following exemption from 17 C.F.R. §240.15c3-3: (k)(2)(ii) (exemption provisions) and Concorde Investment Services, LLC stated that they met the identified exemption provisions throughout the most recent year ended December 31, 2022 without exception.

The Company is also filing this Exemption Report because the Company's other business activities contemplated by Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. §240.17a-5 are limited to include effecting securities transactions via subscriptions on a subscription way basis where funds are payable to the issuer or its agent and not to the Company, public non-listed REITS and private placement of securities, including like-kind exchanges pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, the Company did not directly or indirectly receive, hold, or otherwise owe funds or securities for or to customers: 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.

Concorde Investment Services, LLC'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 Concorde Investment Services, LLC'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 paragraphs (k)(2)(ii) of Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Company's other business activities contemplated by Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. §240.17a-5, and related SEC Staff Frequently Asked Questions.
