PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

OVERVIEW

Capital Financial Holdings, Inc. derives the majority of its revenues and net income from sales of mutual funds, insurance products, and various other securities through Capital Financial Services, Inc. (“CFS”), the Company’s broker-dealer subsidiary.

The Company has been engaged in the financial services business since 1987. The Company was incorporated September 22, 1987, as a North Dakota corporation. The Company’s principal offices are located at 1 Main Street North, Minot, North Dakota 58703. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had 16 full-time employees consisting of officers, securities distribution, data processing, compliance, accounting, and clerical support staff.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

On April 22, 2005, the Company acquired the management rights to the IPS Millennium Fund and the IPS New Frontier Fund from IPS Advisory, Inc. (“IPS Advisory”), and merged them into a new Integrity Fund called the Integrity Growth & Income Fund. The two funds had combined assets of approximately $57 million at the time of acquisition. The purchase agreement called for total consideration of approximately 656,000 common shares of the Company. The Company provided IPS Advisory with 250,000 common shares upon closing. The remaining consideration of approximately 406,000 common shares, which was subject to adjustment based on retention of assets in the fund, was to be issued as follows: 203,000 common shares at the one-year anniversary of the closing date, and 203,000 common shares at the two-year anniversary of the closing date. The shares are subject to a put option, which allows the holders of the shares to put them back to the Company at a price equal to the market price of the Company’s shares as of the closing date, which was $.36 per share. The put option is exercisable with respect to one-third of the shares per year starting on the third anniversary of the closing date. The Company will also provide IPS Advisory with a stock option incentive bonus based on growth in assets in the Fund based on the following schedule: 150,000 options on the Company’s common shares if assets of the Fund reach $100 million and 150,000 options on the Company’s common shares if the assets of the Fund reach $200 million. The options will have a strike price of $.65 per share and mature 10 years from the closing date. The securities issued in connection with this transaction were issued on a private placement basis. In April of 2006, the one-year anniversary payment of 158,603 common shares was made, which reflected the assets of the acquired funds at the one-year anniversary. In June of 2007, the two-year anniversary payment of 138,797 common shares was made, which reflected the assets of the acquired funds at the two-year anniversary. In April 2010 the put option mentioned above expired, which resulted in the liability of this acquisition to be reduced to $0.

On March 7, 2007, the Company acquired certain assets of United Heritage Financial Services, Inc. (UHFS), a wholly owned subsidiary of United Heritage Financial Group, Inc., of Meridian, Idaho. UHFS had approximately 120 independent registered representatives who became part of Capital Financial Services, Inc. (CFS), the retail brokerage division of the Company. Pursuant to the agreement, in exchange for the assets of UHFS set forth above, the Company agreed to
issue 500,000 restricted CFH shares and pay a deferred cash earn out payment totaling a maximum of $900,000, to be paid in 21 quarterly installments. On March 7, 2007, the Company issued 500,000 options to purchase shares of the Company, to UHFS. As a result of this issuance of shares, $175,000 was recorded by the Company as goodwill relating to the purchase of the assets. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had made nineteen quarterly installment payments totaling $411,766. The liability relating to this acquisition is valued at approximately $61,590 as of December 31, 2011.  Due to the goodwill impairment charge that was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2010, as of December 31, 2011, the total goodwill recorded relating to this acquisition was $554,911.

THE COMPANY’S SUBSIDIARY

Capital Financial Holdings, Inc. derives the majority of its revenues and net income from sales of mutual funds, insurance products, and various other securities through Capital Financial Services, Inc. (“CFS”), the Company’s broker-dealer subsidiary.
 
 
4

 
 
Capital Financial Services, Inc.

CFS is a full-service brokerage firm. CFS is registered with the SEC as an investment advisor and broker-dealer and also with FINRA as a broker-dealer. CFS specializes in providing investment products and services to independent investment representatives, financial planners, and investment advisors and currently supports over 240 investment representatives and investment advisors.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Brokerage Commissions

CFS’s primary source of revenue is commission revenue in connection with sales of shares of mutual funds, insurance products, and various other securities. CFS receives commission and Rule 12b-1 servicing revenue generated from the sale of investment products originated by its registered representatives. CFS also receives investment advisory revenue as a registered investment advisor. CFS pays a portion of the revenue generated to its registered representatives and retains the balance.

REGULATION

Virtually all aspects of the Company’s businesses are subject to various complex and extensive federal and state laws and regulations. Regulated areas include, but are not limited to, the effecting of securities transactions, the financial condition of the Company’s subsidiaries, record-keeping and reporting procedures, relationships with clients, and experience and training requirements for certain employees. The Company’s subsidiary is registered with various federal and state government agencies, including the SEC, as well as FINRA, a self-regulatory industry organization, as described below.

CFS is a registered broker-dealer, subject to extensive regulation and periodic examinations by the SEC, FINRA, and state agencies in those states in which CFS conducts business. As a broker-dealer, CFS is subject to the Net Capital Rule promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act. This rule requires that a broker-dealer must maintain certain minimum net capital and that its aggregate indebtedness may not exceed specified limitations.

Federal and state laws and regulations, and the rules of FINRA, grant broad powers to such regulatory agencies and organizations. These include the power to limit, restrict, or prevent the Company from carrying on its business if it fails to comply with such laws, regulations and rules. Other possible sanctions that may be imposed include the suspension of individual employees, restrictions on the Company expanding its business or paying cash dividends, the revocation of the investment advisor or broker dealer expulsions, censures, and/or fines.

Since 1993, FINRA rules have limited the amount of aggregate sales charges which may be paid in connection with the purchase and holding of investment company shares sold through broker-dealers. Congress and the SEC presently are considering amendments to Rule 12b-1 and other statutory provisions and rules that regulate the distribution of mutual fund shares. The effect of the rule amendments and other legislative or regulatory actions might be to limit the amount of fees that could be paid pursuant to a fund’s 12b-1 Plan in a situation where a fund has no, or limited, new sales for a prolonged period of time, as well as the imposition of other limits on the use of fund assets to pay for distribution.

COMPETITION

The Company derives substantially all of its revenues from commission revenue earned in connection with sales of shares of mutual funds, insurance products and various other securities, and also receives investment advisory revenue.

The Company participates in retail brokerage, a highly competitive related sector of the financial services industry. The Company competes directly with full-service stock brokerage firms, insurance companies, banks, regional broker-dealers, other independent broker-dealers, and other financial institutions, as well as investment advisory firms. Each of these competitors offer to the public many of the same investment products and services offered by the Company. Further, other broker-dealers providing the same services heavily recruit the representatives and advisors transacting business through the Company. This competition forces the Company to maintain high levels of support services and commission payouts for these representatives and advisors. These high levels of services and payouts could have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s earnings.
 
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

On February 22, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its headquarters building, located at 1 Main Street North, Minot North Dakota, to Corridor Investors, LLC., at a sales price of $990,000.  The sale is scheduled to close on March 30, 2012, however, there is no assurance that this sale will be completed.  Upon the sale, the proceeds will be paid to PawnMart, Inc. as payment on the $1,300,000 promissory note, which is secured by the building, to reduce the balance due on that note.  The holder of the title will release the title for this sale and has agreed to issue an unsecured note for the remaining balance due.  The new note has not yet been finalized as of the filing date of this report.
 
On October 21, 2011, the Company repurchased 3,050,000 of its preferred shares, owned by PawnMart, Inc., in exchange for a Promissory Note for $1,300,000.  This note carries an interest rate of 7%, is payable in 24 quarterly payments of approximately $66,801, and is secured by the building owned by the Company.  The note matures on October 1, 2017.  The shares are reported in the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet as treasury stock, and are deducted from the total stockholders’ equity.

On July 1, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company voted to close its oil and gas subsidiary, Capital Energy Resources, Inc.  The Company continues to operate as a Broker-Dealer through its wholly owned subsidiary Capital Financial Services, Inc.  The impact on the consolidated statement of operation, with regard to closing this subsidiary, was not considered significant for the year-ended December 31, 2011.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

The Company operates the majority of its business out of its location at 1 Main Street North, Minot, North Dakota, which the Company owned as of December 31, 2011.   On February 22, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement to sell this property to Corridor Investors, LLC, and the scheduled closing date of this sale is March 30, 2012.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company, through its subsidiary Capital Financial Services, Inc., operates in a legal and regulatory environment that exposes it to potentially significant litigation risks.  As a result, the Company is involved in various disputes and legal proceedings, including litigation and arbitration, including a number of legal proceedings arising out of customer allegations related to past commissioned sales of alternative investment products.  In 2007 through the first quarter of 2009 a substantial amount (approximately 10% to 20%) of the Company’s sales of commissioned products were in private placements of alternative products, three of which were placed in receivership by action of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and issuers of certain other alternative products sold by the Company are in Chapter 11 Bankruptcy or may have financial difficulties.  Additionally, difficult economic conditions in general and the stock market decline have contributed to decline in broker-dealer subsidiary client portfolio values.  As a result of such alleged failings of alternative products and the uncertainty of client recovery from the various product issuers, the Company is subject to several FINRA arbitration claims, and two trustee actions, one in Delaware Federal Court and one in Delaware Bankruptcy Court.  Such cases are subject to many uncertainties, and their outcome is often difficult to predict, including the impact on operations or on the financial statements, particularly in the earlier stages of a case. The Company makes provisions for cases brought against it when, in the opinion of management after seeking legal advice, it is probable that a liability exists, and the amount can be reasonably estimated.  The current proceedings are subject to uncertainties and as such, the Company is unable to estimate the possible loss or a range of loss that may result from each individual matter.

Year Ended December 31, 2011, compared with Year Ended December 31, 2010:

Operating Revenues—Total operating revenues for 2011 were $17,990,474, a decrease of 7% from $19,391,807 in 2010. The decrease resulted from decreased commission income earned by CFS, the Company’s broker-dealer division.

Fee Income—Fee income for 2011 was $1,031,083, a 6% increase from $975,010 in 2010. The increase was due to an increase in fees received by CFS as a result of an increase in assets under management in CFS’ registered investment advisor.

The Company earns investment advisory fees in connection with CFS’ registered investment advisor. The Company pays the registered representatives a portion of this fee income as a commission expense and retains the balance. These fees constituted 6% of the Company’s consolidated revenues in 2011.

Commission Income—Commission income includes CFS. The Company pays the registered representatives a percentage of this income as commission expense and retains the balance. Commission income for 2011 was $16,180,938, a 9% decrease from $17,746,472 in 2010. The decrease was due primarily to a decrease in commissions received by CFS as a result of market conditions. Future market conditions will continue to impact commission levels. Commission revenues constituted 90% of the Company’s consolidated revenues in 2011.

Other Income—Other income for 2011 was $778,453 a 16% increase from $670,325 in 2010. The increase was due primarily to the gain of $235,000, recognized in the second quarter, from the prepayment of a $950,000 convertible promissory note due to PawnMart, Inc.  Other income constituted 4% of the Company’s consolidated revenues in 2011.

Operating Expenses—Total operating expenses for 2011 were $17,733,866 a 12% decrease from $20,234,689 in 2010. The decrease resulted from the net decreases in the expense categories described in the paragraphs below.

Compensation and Benefits—Compensation and benefits expense for 2011 was $1,067,439, a 21% decrease from $1,350,094 in 2010. The decrease resulted primarily from a reduction in the number of persons employed by the Company over the past twelve months.

Commission Expense—Commission expense for 2011 was $15,111,206, a 9% decrease from $16,566,033 in 2010. The decrease corresponds with the decrease in commission income.

Goodwill Impairment Expense— Goodwill impairment expense for 2011 was $0, a 100% decrease from $753,518 in 2009.

The Company’s goodwill represents the excess of purchase prices over the fair value of the identifiable net assets of previously acquired broker/dealer businesses.  The goodwill is not amortized; instead it is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if the fair value of a reporting unit is below its carrying value. Absent any impairment indicators, the Company performs its annual goodwill impairment testing as of June 30 of each year.

The Company’s policy is to test goodwill for impairment using a fair value approach at the reporting unit level.  The Company performs its goodwill impairment test in two steps.  Step one compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill.  If the fair value of the unit determined in step one is lower than its carrying value, the Company proceeds to step two, which then compares the carrying value of goodwill to its implied fair value.  Any excess of carrying value of goodwill over its implied fair value at a reporting unit is recorded as impairment.
 
 
11

 

The valuation methodology the Company utilizes in testing the Company’s goodwill for impairment is based on the income approach.  The income approach is based on a discounted cash flow methodology in which expected future net cash flows are discounted to present value, using a discounted rate that compensates for the risk in attaining the projected cash flows.  This approach is dependent upon a number of significant management estimates about future performance including but not limited to, market performance, income taxes, capital spending and working capital changes.
 
As of December 31, 2011, there were no impairment indicators, so further testing of goodwill was not deemed necessary.

In December of 2010, as a result of ongoing volatility in the financial industry and a reduction in the estimated fair market value of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Capital Financial Services, Inc., the Company determined it was necessary to perform an interim goodwill impairment test.  In step one of the impairment test it was determined that the fair value of the reporting unit had decreased below its carrying value.  The Company then proceeded to step two of its impairment testing and compared the carrying value of goodwill to its implied fair value and determined that an impairment charge of $753,518 was necessary to reduce the carrying value of goodwill to its implied fair value.

General and Administrative Expenses—Total general and administrative expenses for 2011 were $1,487,384, a decrease of .01% from $1,489,663 in 2010.

Depreciation and Amortization—Depreciation and amortization for 2011 was $67,837, a 10% decrease from $75,381 in 2010.

Interest Expense—Interest expense was $63,480 for 2011, a 22% decrease from $80,880 in 2010. The decrease was due to the fact that we prepaid a convertible promissory note in the amount of $715,000 in the second quarter of 2011.

Year Ended December 31, 2010, compared with Year Ended December 31, 2009:

Operating Revenues—Total operating revenues for 2010 were $19,391,807, an increase of 8% from $17,902,774 in 2009. The increase resulted from increased commission income earned by CFS, the Company’s broker-dealer division.

Fee Income—Fee income for 2010 was $975,010, an 8% decrease from $1,062,492 in 2009. The decrease was due to a reduction in fees received by CFS due to a reduction in assets under management in CFS’ registered investment advisor.

The Company earns investment advisory fees in connection with CFS’ registered investment advisor. The Company pays the registered representatives a portion of this fee income as commission expense and retains the balance. These fees constituted 5% of the Company’s consolidated revenues in 2010.

Commission Income—Commission income earned by CFS. The Company pays the registered representatives a percentage of this income as commission expense and retains the balance. Commission income for 2010 was $17,746,472, a 10% increase from $16,096,513 in 2009. The increase was due primarily to an increase in commissions received by CFS due to market conditions. Future market conditions will continue to impact commission levels. Commission revenues constituted 92% of the Company’s consolidated revenues in 2010.

Other Income—Other income for 2010 was $670,325 a 10% decrease from $743,769 in 2009. Other income is comprised primarily of due diligence and marketing allowances received by CFS. Other income constituted 4% of the Company’s consolidated revenues in 2010.

Operating Expenses—Total operating expenses for 2010 were $20,234,689 a 12% increase from $18,146,651 in 2009. The increase resulted from the net increases in the expense categories described in the paragraphs below.

Compensation and Benefits—Compensation and benefits expense for 2010 was $1,350,094, a 24% decrease from $1,786,179 in 2009. The decrease resulted primarily from a reduction in incentive overrides paid to certain employees for the recruitment of new registered representatives in CFS, as well as a reduction in the number of employees over the past twelve months.

Commission Expense—Commission expense for 2010 was $16,566,033, an 8% increase from $15,223,613 in 2009. The increase corresponds with the increase in commission income.

Goodwill Impairment Expense— Goodwill impairment expense for 2010 was $753,518, a 100% increase from $0 in 2009.

General and Administrative Expenses—Total general and administrative expenses for 2010 were $1,489,663, an increase of 44% from $1,036,490 in 2009. The increase was due primarily to an increase in licensing fees and legal expenses paid by CFS.

Depreciation and Amortization—Depreciation and amortization for 2010 was $75,381, a 25% decrease from $100,369 in 2009. The decrease was due to the disposal of assets associated with the mutual fund division sale.

Interest Expense—Interest expense was $80,880 for 2010, a 62% decrease from $212,552 in 2009. The decrease was due primarily to a reduction in outstanding debt due to redemptions of the company’s subordinated corporate notes processed on June 23rd and July 31st, totaling $500,000, and also the company’s decision to call the remaining notes, totaling $1,500,000, processed on September 30, 2009.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

On December 31, 2011, the Company’s assets aggregated $6,923,067, a decrease of 20% from $8,707,621 in 2010, due to increases in income tax receivables, the employee sponsored severance escrow and other assets, offset by decreases in cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, deferred tax asset, long-term receivable, goodwill, and net property and equipment. Stockholder’s equity was $4,146,756 on December 31, 2011, compared to $5,457,729 on December 31, 2010.

On December 31, 2010, the Company’s assets aggregated $8,707,621, a decrease of 8% from $9,500,728 in 2009, due to increases in cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaids, deferred tax asset and other assets, offset by decreases in income tax receivables, long-term assets, goodwill, and net property and equipment.  Stockholder’s equity was $5,457,729 on December 31, 2010, compared to $6,494,044 on December 31, 2009.
 
Cash used by operating activities was $219,164 for the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $204,833 for the year ended December 31, 2010 and net cash used by operating activities of $162,907 for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $333,989 for the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $211,125 for the year ended December 31, 2010 and net cash provided by investing activities of $1,424,096 for the year ended December 31, 2009. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the cash provided by investing activities were from the final payment being received from the sale of the mutual fund division (See Note 17-Discontinued Operations), minus office and computer equipment purchased during this time frame.

Net cash used by financing activities was $1,142,428 for the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to net cash used by financing activities of $198,495 for the year ended December 31, 2010, and net cash used by financing activities of $2,132,559 for the year ended December 31, 2009.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

On December 31, 2011, the Company held $1,158,598 in cash and cash equivalents, as compared to $2,186,201 on December 31, 2010, and $1,968,738 on December 31, 2009. Liquid assets, which consist of cash and cash equivalents, totaled $1,158,598 at December 31, 2011, as compared to $2,186,201 on December 31, 2010, and $1,968,738 on December 31, 2009. The Company is required to maintain certain levels of cash and liquid securities in its broker-dealer subsidiary to meet regulatory net capital requirements.

The Company currently has no lines of credit available.

The Company has historically relied upon sales of its equity securities and debt instruments, as well as bank loans, for liquidity and growth. Management believes that the Company’s existing liquid assets, along with cash flow from operations, will provide the Company with sufficient resources to meet its ordinary operating expenses during the next twelve months. Significant, unforeseen or extraordinary expenses may require the Company to seek alternative financing sources, including common or preferred share issuance or additional debt financing.

In addition to the liabilities coming due in the next twelve months, management expects that the principal needs for cash may be to acquire additional financial services firms, broker recruitment, and repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock, and service debt. Management also expects to realize increases in consultant expenses as well as increased compliance and legal costs with respect to its broker dealer subsidiary related to regulatory and litigation matters.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and Directors of
Capital Financial Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiary
Minot, North Dakota

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Capital Financial Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Capital Financial Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their consolidated operations and their consolidated cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

CAPITAL FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC., AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2011, 2010 AND 2009

NOTE 1—NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The nature of operations and significant accounting policies of Capital Financial Holdings, Inc., and its Subsidiary are presented to assist in understanding the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Nature of operations—Capital Financial Holdings, Inc., and its Subsidiary (the “Company”) was established in September 1987 as a North Dakota corporation. The Company derives its revenue from investment advisory fees as well as commissions earned from sales of mutual funds, insurance products, and various other securities through it’s Subsidiary Capital Financial Services, Inc. Headquartered in Minot, North Dakota, the Company is marketing its services throughout the United States.

Principles of consolidation—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Capital Financial Holdings, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiary Capital Financial Services, Inc. (“CFS”).  All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Concentrations—Capital Financial Holdings, Inc. derives the majority of its revenues and net income from sales of mutual funds, insurance products, and various other securities through CFS, the Company’s broker-dealer subsidiary. The company’s revenues are largely dependent on the sales activity of registered representatives operating as independent contractors. Accordingly, fluctuations in financial markets and the composition of assets under management impact revenues and results of operations.

Use of estimates—The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue recognition—Commission income and the related clearing expenses are recorded on a trade-date basis as securities transactions occur. The revenue earned from 12b-1 and advisory fees is recognized in the period earned.

Stock-based compensation—In December of 2005, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) accounting and reporting standards for share-based payment which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options, based on estimated fair values.

Cash and cash equivalents—The Company’s policy is to record all liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less as cash equivalents. Liquid investments with maturities greater than three months are recorded as investments.

Clearing Deposits—The Company has “Deposit Accounts” with each of its Clearing Firms, as set forth in each of the Clearing Agreements. Upon termination or expiration of these agreements, the Clearing Firms would deliver the balance of these accounts to the Company.

Accounts receivable—The Company’s receivables consist primarily of concessions related to registered representative activity. Management evaluates the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts by identifying troubled accounts and using historical experience. Accounts receivable are written off when management deems them uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded when received. The Company does not charge interest on its receivables.
 
 
F-11

 

Goodwill—The Company accounts for goodwill under the FASB accounting and reporting standards for goodwill and other intangible assets, which requires that goodwill and indefinite-lived other intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite useful life be assessed annually for impairment using fair value measurement techniques.
 
Property and equipment—Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation computed on straight-line and accelerated methods over estimated useful lives as follows:

Equipment
5-7 years
Building
40 years

Other assets—Other assets include debt issue costs, clearing deposits and other miscellaneous assets. Debt issue costs are amortized over the life of the corresponding debt.

Advertising—Costs of advertising and promotion are expensed as incurred. Advertising and promotion costs aggregated $45 in 2011, $11,252 in 2010 and $27,903 in 2009.

Earnings per common share—Basic earnings per common share was computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding of 14,638,937 in 2011 and 2010 and 14,541,585 in 2009. Diluted earnings per common share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding adjusted for share equivalents arising from unexercised stock warrants, stock options, written put options, and preferred shares.  The weighted average shares outstanding used in computing diluted earnings per common share were 14,638,937 in 2011 and 2010 and 14,541,585 in 2009.

Income taxes—The Company files a consolidated income tax return with its wholly owned subsidiary. The amount of deferred tax benefit or expense is recognized as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, utilizing currently enacted tax laws and rates. Deferred tax benefits or expenses are recognized in the financial statements for the changes in deferred tax assets between years. The Company’s policy is to evaluate the likelihood that its uncertain tax positions will prevail upon examination based on the extent to which those positions have substantial support within the Internal Revenue Code and Regulations, Revenue Rulings, court decisions, and other evidence. It is the opinion of management that the Company has no significant uncertain tax positions that would be subject to change upon examination. The federal income tax returns of the Company are subject to examination by the IRS, generally for three years after they were filed.

Severance Escrow—The Company has put into place a contingent Severance Benefit Package for its employees. The package has an annual expiration date of August 1st, and can be renewed by the board of the Company. The funds for this package have been placed into an account specifically designated for these funds.

Reclassification—Certain amounts from 2010 and 2009 have been reclassified to conform to the 2011 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s net income.

Recent Accounting Developments—In July 2009, the FASB launched the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the Codification) as the single source of Generally Accepted Accounting Principals (“GAAP”). While the Codification did not change GAAP, it introduced a new structure to the accounting literature and changed references to accounting standards and other authoritative accounting guidance. The Codification was effective for the firm for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and did not have an effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) — Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.” ASU No. 2010-06 provides amended disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. ASU No. 2010-06 is effective for financial statements issued for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 for certain disclosures and for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010 for other disclosures. Since these amended principles require only additional disclosures concerning fair value measurements, adoption did not affect the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In January 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update to the guidance contained in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 310, Receivables.  The new guidance requires companies to provide more information about the credit quality of their financing receivables in the disclosures to financial statements including, but not limited to, significant purchases and sales of financing receivables, aging information and credit quality indicators.  The adoption of this accounting guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2011-08, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) Testing Goodwill for Impairment.”  Under ASU No. 2011-08, an entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.  If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary.  However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform the first step of the two-step impairment test by calculating the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing the fair value with the carrying amount of the reporting unit, as described in paragraph 350-20-35-4.  If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the entity is required to perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any, as described in paragraph 350-20-35-9.  Under the amendments in this update, an entity has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to performing the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test.  An entity may resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period.  ASU No. 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed beginning after December 15, 2011.  The adoption of this update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4—BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS
 
Purchase Combinations—

On April 22, 2005, the Company acquired the management rights to the IPS Millennium Fund and the IPS New Frontier Fund from IPS Advisory, Inc. (“IPS Advisory”), and merged them into a new Integrity Fund called the Integrity Growth & Income Fund. The two funds had combined assets of approximately $57 million at the time of acquisition. The purchase agreement called for total consideration of approximately 656,000 common shares of the Company. The Company provided IPS Advisory with 250,000 common shares upon closing. The remaining consideration of approximately 406,000 common shares, which was subject to adjustment based on retention of assets in the fund, was to be issued as follows: 203,000 common shares at the one-year anniversary of the closing date, and 203,000 common shares at the two-year anniversary of the closing date. The shares are subject to a put option, which allows the holders of the shares to put them back to the Company at a price equal to the market price of the Company’s shares as of the closing date, which was $.36 per share. The put option is exercisable with respect to one-third of the shares per year starting on the third anniversary of the closing date. The Company will also provide IPS Advisory with a stock option incentive bonus based on growth in assets in the Fund based on the following schedule: 150,000 options on the Company’s common shares if assets of the Fund reach $100 million and 150,000 options on the Company’s common shares if the assets of the Fund reach $200 million. The options will have a strike price of $.65 per share and mature 10 years from the closing date. The securities issued in connection with this transaction were issued on a private placement basis. In April of 2006, the one-year anniversary payment of 158,603 common shares was made, which reflected the assets of the acquired funds at the one-year anniversary. In June of 2007, the two-year anniversary payment of 138,797 common shares was made, which reflected the assets of the acquired funds at the two-year anniversary. In April 2010 the put option mentioned above expired, which resulted in the liability of this acquisition to be reduced to $0.

On March 7, 2007, the Company acquired certain assets of United Heritage Financial Services, Inc. (UHFS), a wholly owned subsidiary of United Heritage Financial Group, Inc., of Meridian, Idaho. UHFS had approximately 120 independent registered representatives who became part of Capital Financial Services, Inc. (CFS), the retail brokerage division of the Company. Pursuant to the agreement, in exchange for the assets of UHFS set forth above, the Company agreed to issue 500,000 restricted CFH shares and pay a deferred cash earn out payment totaling a maximum of $900,000, to be paid in 21 quarterly installments. On March 7, 2007, the Company issued 500,000 options to purchase common shares of the Company, to UHFS. As a result of this issuance of shares, $175,000 was recorded by the Company as goodwill relating to the purchase of the assets. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had made nineteen quarterly installment payments totaling $411,766. The liability relating to this acquisition is valued at approximately $61,590 as of December 31, 2011.  Due to the goodwill impairment charge that was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2010, as of December 31, 2011, the total goodwill recorded relating to this acquisition was $554,911.

Summaries of the terms of the current long-term debt agreements follow:

First Western Bank— In June of 1999, the Company converted its outstanding balance of $500,000 borrowed on its bank line-of-credit to long-term debt.  The debt was refinanced in September of 2009 and carried an interest rate of 6.50%, with monthly payments of $4,105.  On August 18, 2011, the Company paid the remaining balance due to First Western Bank.

Subordinate Corporate Notes—The Company approved a $2 million intra-state subordinate corporate note offering limiting the sale in North Dakota, to North Dakota residents only. The subordinate corporate notes did not represent ownership in the Company. On June 23, 2009 and July 30, 2009 redemptions were processed, totaling $200,000 and $300,000 respectively. On September 30, 2009 the Company elected pursuant to the terms of its Corporate Note obligations to call and prepay its remaining $1,500,000 Corporate Note obligation. This amount consists of all of outstanding Corporate Notes originally due January 1, 2011. By prepaying the Corporate Notes from available cash, the current asset position of the Company was reduced by $1,591,613 and the Corporate Note liability of the same amount was eliminated. There was no prepayment charge or other cost to the Company associated with the prepayment.

Convertible Promissory Note— In October of 2006, the Company issued a $950,000 convertible promissory note in a private placement to PawnMart, Inc., which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Xponential, Inc.  The unsecured note carried an interest rate of 6.50% per annum, payable semi-annually, and was scheduled to mature on October 15, 2016.  The company negotiated with PawnMart, Inc. to prepay the note at a discounted rate of $715,000, as of June 6, 2011.  A payment of $640,000 was sent to PawnMart, Inc., and a $75,000 promissory note was signed for the remaining balance due.  This promissory note carried an interest rate of 6.50%, per annum, payable at the maturity date of the note, which was May 26, 2012.  On September 19, 2011, the Company paid the promissory note in full plus accrued interest, for a total payment of $76,523.

Promissory Note- On October 21, 2011, the Company issued a promissory note to PawnMart, Inc. in exchange for the repurchase of the 3,050,000 shares of preferred stock.  The note carries an interest rate of 7%, with quarterly payments of $66,801.  On October 1, 2017, the remaining balance will be due in full.

NOTE 7—STOCK WARRANTS, STOCK SPLITS, AND STOCK OPTIONS

The Company has authorized 2,100,000 perpetual warrants to certain organizers, directors, officers, employees and shareholders of the Company. All of these warrants were issued between 1987 and 1990 and were accounted for in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. No compensation expense was recorded for these warrants as the exercise price exceeded the market price of the stock at the date of issue. The Company plans to continue to apply APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for these warrants. These warrants, at the date of issue, allowed for the purchase of shares of stock at $2.00 per share. The exercise prices of these warrants were adjusted to reflect stock splits of 2 for 1 in 2002, and 11 for 10 in 1990 and 1989. 2,000 warrants (adjusted for the 2 for 1 stock split in 2002) were exercised in 1997, leaving an outstanding balance of 2,098,000 warrants as of December 31, 2011.

In addition to the warrants discussed above, in March of 2004 the Company had also issued warrants to purchase 600,000 common shares at an exercise price of $.60 per share. In 2007 the holder of the warrants exercised their right to 100,000 shares, which left a balance of 500,000 shares.  These warrants expired as of September 1, 2010.

The Company had entered into employment agreements with past employees of the Company. Upon execution of these employment agreements, a one-time granting of stock options took effect. These options are fully vested and have a perpetual life. Each employment contract stated the strike price for which options were granted. In addition, the contracts granted options when the employees reach specified performance goals.

The Company has also issued options to directors as well as various other employees and past employees. The options granted to employees were granted in connection with reaching certain performance goals. These options are considered to be fully vested and have a contractual life of ten years.

As part of the acquisition of Capital Financial Services, Inc., 500,000 options were granted in January of 2002 at a strike price of $.50. These options were fully vested and expired on January 15, 2012.

The Company plans to issue additional common shares if any of its outstanding options are exercised. There have been no options exercised to date.

In December of 2005, the Company adopted the FASB accounting and standards for fair value recognition provisions for stock-based employee compensation. There were no compensation costs or deferred tax benefits recognized for stock-based compensation awards for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011.

NOTE 8—EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Company sponsors a 401(K) plan for all its employees. Effective January 1, 2005, the Company implemented a match of up to 4% of employee deferrals. Plan expenses paid for by the Company were $3,679, $4,937, and $10,639 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. The matching contributions paid by the Company were $32,624, $40,629 and $77,820 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The Company established an employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) effective January 1, 1999. Pursuant to the ESOP, each year the Company would determine the amount to contribute to the plan. Contributions were made at the discretion of the Board of Directors. To be eligible to participate in the plan, an employee must have had completed one year of service and have attained age 21. The ESOP plan was closed by the company, effective December 31, 2009, and the shares have been issued to each plan member.

During 2001, the ESOP purchased 208,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a weighted average price of $.48 per share. The purchase was funded with a loan of $100,000 from the Company, which was collateralized by the unallocated Company shares owned by the ESOP. As of December 31, 2009 this loan had been paid in full and all shares purchased by this loan had been allocated to employees.

Total ESOP contribution expense recognized was $0 in the years 2011 and 2010, and $18,231 for 2009.

The Company’s goodwill represents the excess of purchase prices over the fair value of the identifiable net assets of previously acquired broker/dealer businesses.  The goodwill is not amortized; instead it is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if the fair value of a reporting unit is below its carrying value. Absent any impairment indicators, the Company performs its annual goodwill impairment testing as of June 30 of each year.
 
 
F-19

 
 
The Company’s policy is to test goodwill for impairment using a fair value approach at the reporting unit level.  The Company performs its goodwill impairment test in two steps.  Step one compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill.  If the fair value of the unit determined in step one is lower than its carrying value, the Company proceeds to step two, which then compares the carrying value of goodwill to its implied fair value.  Any excess of carrying value of goodwill over its implied fair value at a reporting unit is recorded as impairment.

The valuation methodology the Company utilizes in testing the Company’s goodwill for impairment is based on the income approach.  The income approach is based on a discounted cash flow methodology in which expected future net cash flows are discounted to present value, using a discounted rate that compensates for the risk in attaining the projected cash flows.  This approach is dependent upon a number of significant management estimates about future performance including but not limited to, market performance, income taxes, capital spending and working capital changes.

As of December 31, 2011, there were no impairment indicators, so further testing of goodwill was not deemed necessary.

In December of 2010, as a result of ongoing volatility in the financial industry and a reduction in the estimated fair market value of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Capital Financial Services, Inc., the Company determined it was necessary to perform an interim goodwill impairment test.  In step one of the impairment test it was determined that the fair value of the reporting unit had decreased below its carrying value.  The Company then proceeded to step two of its impairment testing and compared the carrying value of goodwill to its implied fair value and determined that an impairment charge of $753,518 was necessary to reduce the carrying value of goodwill to its implied fair value.

NOTE 12—FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

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 in 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 application of valuation techniques applied to similar assets and liabilities has been consistently applied.  The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value:

On February 12, 2009, CFS entered into a settlement agreement with a client, which resulted in CFS purchasing the client’s investment in the Omega 2007 Drilling Program 1, LP.  This limited partnership carries a “presentment” feature which allows CFS to sell the investment to the General Managing Partner of the limited partnership; and this feature has become available.  The cost of this investment is $76,876, and its estimated fair value is estimated to be $45,000 based on discounted cash flows; however this amount could fluctuate with the prices of oil and natural gas.  CFS has determined, based off of information provided by the Limited Partnership, that the “presentment” feature will not be utilized at this time, due to the reduction in the present value of the investment.

Options and warrants to purchase 7,986,113 common shares at exercise prices between $0.35 and $1.43 were outstanding at December 31, 2011, but were not included in the computation of earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2011. The options and warrants were not included in the calculation because their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares during the period.

In December of 2003, the Company issued 3,050,000 Series A preferred shares for total proceeds of $1,525,000. The holders of the Series A preferred shares were entitled to receive cumulative dividends at a rate of 6% per year, payable quarterly. These dividends were in preference and priority to any payment of any dividend on the Company’s common shares. The holders of the Series A preferred shares were also entitled to a liquidation preference of $.50 per share. The Series A preferred shares were convertible to the Company’s common shares at the rate of one share of common shares for one share of Series A preferred shares at any time after issuance. At any time after five years from issuance, the Company had the right to redeem any or all of the Series A preferred shares after a sixty day notice upon payment of the liquidation preference of $.50 per share to the holders, for a total of $1,525,000.  On October 21, 2011, the Company issued a promissory note to PawnMart, Inc. in exchange for the repurchase of the 3,050,000 shares of preferred stock.  These shares are being held buy the Company as Treasury Stock.

NOTE 14—COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

The Company no longer holds AFS Securities, and as such there were no differences between net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

NOTE 15—RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Company has a concentration of credit risk for cash deposits at various financial institutions. These deposits may at times exceed amounts covered by insurance provided by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

NOTE 16—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Mr. Jeffrey A. Cummer was elected as a director of the Company on June 1, 2006. Mr. Cummer is Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Xponential, Inc. In May of 2006, Xponential, Inc. issued a tender offer to purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common shares at a purchase price of $0.40 per share. At the close of the tender offer, Xponential, Inc. had obtained 1,323,642 shares, representing approximately 9.76% of the Company’s outstanding common shares.

In October of 2006, the Company issued a $950,000 convertible promissory note in a private placement to PawnMart, Inc., which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Xponential, Inc.  The unsecured note carried an interest rate of 6.50% per annum, payable semi-annually, and was scheduled to mature on October 15, 2016.  The company negotiated with PawnMart, Inc. to prepay the note at a discounted rate of $715,000, as of June 6, 2011.  A payment of $640,000 was sent to PawnMart, Inc., and a $75,000 promissory note was signed for the remaining balance due.  This promissory note carried an interest rate of 6.50%, per annum, payable at the maturity date of the note, which was May 26, 2012.  On September 19, 2011, the Company paid the promissory note in full plus accrued interest, for a total payment of $76,523.  Interest payments made to PawnMart, Inc. relating to this note totaled $30,875 in 2011 and $61,750 in 2010 and 2009, respectively.

On October 21, 2011, the Company issued a promissory note to PawnMart, Inc., in exchange for the repurchase of the 3,050,000 shares of preferred stock owned by PawnMart, Inc.  These shares are being held buy the company as Treasury Stock.  The note is secured by the building owned by the Company and carries an interest rate of 7%, with quarterly payments of $66,801.  The note matures on October 1, 2017.  The building securing this note is being sold to Corridor Investors, LLC on March 30, 2012, for $990,000, under a sales agreement entered into and signed on February 22, 2012.  The proceeds from the sale will be paid to the holder of the note, and the remaining balance of this note will be due under an unsecured note for the remaining amount due.

NOTE 17—DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On March 6, 2009, Capital Financial Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Definitive Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Corridor Investors, LLC (“Buyer”), pursuant to which Buyer agreed to purchase from Seller, and Seller agreed to sell to Buyer: (i) all of the issued and outstanding shares of each of three subsidiaries of the Company, Integrity Fund Services, Inc., a share transfer agency, Integrity Funds Distributor, Inc., a FINRA member broker dealer and Integrity Mutual Funds, Inc. of Nevada, a non-operating entity (the "Companies'); (ii) all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to certain tangible assets and (iii) the sale of certain assets of Integrity Money Management, Inc. related to its mutual fund advisory business. The purpose of the Agreement was to facilitate a change in advisor as well as to transfer, together with the operating subsidiaries, the combined mutual fund service business of the Seller currently provided to The Integrity Funds, Integrity Managed Portfolios, ND Tax-Free Fund, Inc., Montana Tax-Free Fund, Inc. and Integrity Fund of Funds, Inc. ("the Funds"), which are investment companies registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940.  As of July 31, 2009, the required Fund shareholder approval from the various Funds had been received to consummate the change in advisor along with the transfer of the mutual fund service to the Buyer.  As per the Agreement, at closing on July 31, 2009, the Buyer paid $1,525,480 (60 BPS of the aggregate net assets, totaling $254,246,596 as of July 30, 2009) to the Company.  The Company received $227,200 for the first of the three installments and $198,590 for the second of the three installments consisting of 10 BPS of the aggregate net assets as of July 30, 2010 and 2011. The Company had originally estimated this receivable at $762,740 based on the aggregate net assets as of July 30, 2009.  The estimated receivable was adjusted to $651,138, which was reported in the 2010 10-K as a loss of $111,601, due to a reduction in the net aggregate assets of the funds.  Due to continued reduction in the net aggregate assets additional revisions to this estimate have been completed.  The difference of $76,662 has been recorded as a loss on discontinued operations in the current year statement of operations.  On August 2, 2011, Corridor Investors, LLC requested an early payoff of the Long-Term Receivable due.  The Company has accepted the offer proposed, and received a final payment of $148,686 in August of 2011.  With the closing and transfer of entities, the Company is no longer involved in the mutual fund service business.  The Company continues to operate as a Broker-Dealer through its wholly owned subsidiary Capital Financial Services, Inc.  As a result of the transfer, post closing of the transaction, Integrity Fund Services, Inc., Integrity Funds Distributor, Inc. and Integrity Money Management, Inc., which constituted the mutual fund division of the Company, will be reflected in the Company’s current and future consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations of the mutual fund segment.

Voted on by the board of directors and effective July 1, 2011, the Company closed its oil and gas subsidiary, Capital Energy Resources, Inc.  The Company continues to operate as a Broker-Dealer through its wholly owned subsidiary Capital Financial Services, Inc.  The impact of closing this subsidiary, on the consolidated statement of operation, was not significant for the twelve months ending December 31, 2011.

NOTE 18—LITIGATION

The Company, through its subsidiary Capital Financial Services, Inc., operates in a legal and regulatory environment that exposes it to potentially significant litigation risks.  As a result, the Company is involved in various disputes and legal proceedings, including litigation and arbitration, including a number of legal proceedings arising out of customer allegations related to past commissioned sales of alternative investment products.  In 2007 through the first quarter of 2009 a substantial amount (approximately 10% to 20%) of the Company’s sales of commissioned products were in private placements of alternative products, three of which were placed in receivership by action of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and issuers of certain other alternative products sold by the Company are in Chapter 11 Bankruptcy or may have financial difficulties.  Additionally, difficult economic conditions in general and the stock market decline have contributed to decline in broker-dealer subsidiary client portfolio values.  As a result of such alleged failings of alternative products and the uncertainty of client recovery from the various product issuers, the Company is subject to several FINRA arbitration claims, and two trustee actions, one in Delaware Federal Court and one in Delaware Bankruptcy Court.  Such cases are subject to many uncertainties, and their outcome is often difficult to predict, including the impact on operations or on the financial statements, particularly in the earlier stages of a case. The Company makes provisions for cases brought against it when, in the opinion of management after seeking legal advice, it is probable that a liability exists, and the amount can be reasonably estimated.  The current proceedings are subject to uncertainties and as such, the Company is unable to estimate the possible loss or a range of loss that may result from each individual matter. 

NOTE 19—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Other than the sale of the principle place of business, discussed under Note 16, there have not been any other significant events that have occurred subsequent to the Company’s year end. Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date these financial statements were subject to be issued.
