NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
September 30, 2015 and 2014
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Capital Financial Holdings, Inc., a North Dakota corporation, and its subsidiaries Capital Financial Services, Inc. (“CFS”) and Capital Natural Resources, Inc. (“CNR”) (collectively, the "Company"), included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the footnotes thereto contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, of Capital Financial Holdings, Inc., as filed with the SEC. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2014, contained herein, was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures included in the Form 10-K and applicable under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, but not required for interim reporting purposes, have been condensed or omitted.
In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (which are of a normal, recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the entire year.
A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 of our 2014 Form 10-K filed on March 26, 2015.
Oil and Gas Properties
CNR follows the full cost method of accounting for crude oil and natural gas operations whereby all costs related to the exploration and development of crude oil and natural gas properties are capitalized into a single cost center (“full cost pool”). Such costs include land acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenses, carrying charges on non-producing properties, costs of drilling directly related to acquisition, and exploration activities.
As of September 30, 2015, CNR held leasehold interests on acreage located in Taylor County, Texas, Lincoln County, Colorado and Divide and Williams County, North Dakota.
Proceeds from property sales will generally be credited to the full cost pool with no gain or loss recognized, unless such a sale would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and the proved reserves attributable to these costs.
Capitalized costs are depleted and amortized on the unit-of-production method based on the estimated gross proved reserves as determined by independent petroleum engineers. The costs of unproved properties are withheld from the depletion base until such time as they are either developed or abandoned. When proved reserves are assigned or the property is considered to be impaired, the cost of the property or the amount of the impairment is added to costs subject to depletion and full cost ceiling calculations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, depletion expense was $6,199.
The Company assesses all items classified as unproved property on an annual basis, or if certain circumstances exist, more frequently, for possible impairment or reduction in value. As of September 30, 2015 the Company held non-producing and unproved properties in Lincoln County, Colorado and Divide and Williams County, North Dakota.
Oil and Gas Revenue
The Company recognizes oil and gas revenue for only its ownership percentage of total production under the entitlement method. There was no imbalance as of September 30, 2015.
Asset Retirement Obligations
Asset retirement obligation is included in other noncurrent liabilities and relates to future costs associated with the plugging and abandonment of crude oil and natural gas wells, removal of equipment and facilities from leased acreage and returning the land to its original condition. Estimates are based on estimated remaining lives of those wells based on reserve estimates, external estimates to plug and abandon the wells in the future, inflation, credit adjusted discount rates and federal and state regulatory requirements. The liability is accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. As of September 30, 2015, asset retirement obligations were $1,938 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 accretion expense was not significant.

NOTE 3 - RECLASSIFICATION
Certain amounts in the 2014 condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2015 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s net income (loss).
NOTE 4 – BUSINESS VENTURES
On June 9, 2014, the Company launched a new wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Capital Natural Resources, Inc., by acquiring 1,000,000 shares, .001 par value common stock of Capital Natural Resources, Inc. (“CNR”) for the amount of $100,000. Capital Natural Resources, Inc. will seek opportunities related to natural resources in the United States, including petroleum, natural gas and/or other minerals, water resources and land. The new subsidiary is expected to diversify the business operations of the Company and is unrelated to any current or past business. On June 17, 2014, the Company acquired an additional 400,000 shares, .001 par value common stock of CNR for the amount of $40,000. On July 21, 2014, the Company acquired an additional 3,750,000 shares, .001 par value of common stock of CNR for the amount of $375,000. As of September 30, 2015, the Company owned 5,150,000 shares of CNR.
On April 1, 2015, CNR obtained a non-operating working interest in an oil and gas property consisting of a twenty five percent interest in three oil and gas leases covering approximately 618 acres in Taylor County, Texas for a purchase price of $90,000 paid in cash. This purchase is presented as oil and natural gas properties on the balance sheet. As of September 30, 2015, oil and gas revenues was $26,859.
On July 28, 2015, CNR acquired five year oil and gas leases on one 80 acre tract located in Williams County, North Dakota and two 80 acre tracts located in Divide County, North Dakota for a combined acquisition cost of $7,676, including lease bonus and prepaid annual rentals. The oil and gas leases were obtained from the State of North Dakota Department of Trust Lands. The leases grant the right to conduct oil and gas operations and extract oil and gas from the property with payment of royalty to the lessor of 3/16 of oil and gas produced. The leases will expire August 3, 2020 unless held by production, meaning oil and gas is being produced from the properties.
On August 20, 2015, CNR acquired a five year oil and gas lease on a 640 acre tract located in Lincoln County, Colorado at an initial acquisition cost of $1,652 including the first annual rental payment of $1,600. The oil and gas lease was obtained from the Colorado State Board of Land Commissioners. The lease grants the right to conduct oil and gas operations and extract oil and gas from the property with payment of royalty to the lessor of 1/6 of oil and gas produced. The lease will expire August 20, 2020 unless held by production, meaning oil and gas is being produced from the property.
The oil and gas leases in North Dakota and Colorado are currently non-producing properties and non-operating leases.
The purchase allocation for all four CNR oil and gas lease transactions was based on the estimated fair value of the assets acquired.
On May 19, 2015, CNR acquired interests in 383 acres of coal rights located in Kanawha County, West Virginia with 1,483,451 recoverable tons for a purchase price of $1,275 paid in cash. This purchase is presented as other property holdings on the balance sheet.
On June 11, 2015, CNR acquired 724.5 acres of mineral, water rights and surface interests in Hudspeth County, Texas for a purchase price of $83,350 paid in cash. This purchase is presented as other property holdings on the balance sheet.

On June 11, 2014, June 27, 2014, and July 22, 2014, Baron Energy, Inc. issued promissory notes to Capital Natural Resources, Inc. (the “note holder”) in the amounts of $85,000, $40,000 and $375,000, respectively. The three notes carry an interest rate of 15% per annum, payable monthly, and mature on June 12, 2016, June 28, 2016 and July 23, 2016, respectively. As of September 30, 2015, notes held with Baron Energy, Inc. carried a balance of $500,000. At maturity, the notes are convertible at the option of the note holder into specified non-operating minority working interests in Baron Energy, Inc.’s oil and gas operations in Frio County, Texas. As additional compensation to the noteholder, at the maturity of the notes, regardless of whether the noteholder elects to convert the principal of the notes to non-operating minority working interests, the noteholder will be assigned specified non-operating minority working interests in Baron Energy, Inc.’s oil and gas operations in Frio County, Texas. The note holder also has the option to receive additional working interests if it extends the maturity dates of the notes.

NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES
Deferred taxes arise because of different tax treatment between financial statement accounting and tax accounting, known as “temporary differences.” The Company records the tax effect of these temporary differences as “deferred tax assets” (generally items that can be used as a tax deduction or credit in future periods) and “deferred tax liabilities” (generally items for which the Company has received a tax deduction and has not yet been recorded in the consolidated statement of operations).
Management reviews and adjusts those estimates annually based upon the most current information available. However, because the recoverability of deferred taxes is directly dependent upon the future operating results of the Company, actual recoverability of deferred taxes may differ materially from management’s estimates.
Due to stock options forfeited, the deferred tax assets associated with stock compensation valued under the Black Scholes model were reduced. As of September 30, 2015, approximately $24,500 was recorded as tax expense for the quarter and an accumulated amount of approximately $314,117 has been recorded as tax expense since the beginning of stock options being forfeited.
NOTE 9 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect per share amounts that would have resulted if dilutive potential common shares had been converted to common shares. The following reconciles amounts reported in the financial statements:

NOTE 11 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company operates in a legal and regulatory environment that exposes it to potentially significant litigation risks. Issuers of certain alternative products sold by the Company are in Bankruptcy or may have other financial difficulties. 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 legal and/or arbitration proceedings. These proceedings include customer suits and arbitrations related to the failure of Medical Capital, other alternative investments alleged to be unsuitable, the bankruptcy proceedings of the various DBSI entities and the bankruptcy of other various entities. The Company vigorously contests the allegations of the various proceedings and believes that there are multiple meritorious legal and fact based defenses in these matters. 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 range of loss that may result from the outcome of these cases; however, results in these cases that are against the interests of the Company could have a severe negative impact on the financial position of the Company. As of September 30, 2015, the Company is a defendant in five on-going suits or arbitrations as discussed above. The Company expects to vigorously defend and ultimately prevail in these cases.
On October 15, 2015, the Company, without admitting any liability and to avoid further litigation costs, entered into a Confidential Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (the “Settlement Agreement”) to resolve one of the five lawsuits mentioned above. In addition, under the Settlement Agreement the parties entered into mutual releases of all claims. The settlement was recorded as of September 30, 2015 and is reflected within current liabilities on the balance sheet. Payment was made on October 30, 2015.
On April 5, 2011, several broker-dealers and their principals/officers, including the Company and John Carlson, President and Chief Compliance Officer, filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of California for Orange County against Mayer Hoffman McCann, P.C. (“Mayer Hoffman”) captioned Signature Financial Group, Inc., et al, (“Signature”) v. Mayer Hoffman McCann, P.C., et al). The lawsuit arose out of reviews of the financial statements of Medical Capital Holdings, Inc. (“Medical Capital”) by Mayer Hoffman. In June 2009, Medical Capital was sued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC” or “Commission”), a finding was made that Medical Capital was conducting a “Ponzi scheme,” and a receiver was appointed to liquidate Medical Capital. The plaintiffs in the Signature lawsuit are broker-dealers and principals of broker-dealers that sold Medical Capital investments to their clients. These plaintiffs sought to recover damages from Mayer Hoffman for the losses and expenses they incurred as a result of the Medical Capital financial deceptions and resulting expenses and losses to the plaintiffs. Specific claims asserted and relief requested included fraud-intentional misrepresentation of fact/concealment of fact, negligent misrepresentation, equitable indemnity, and declaratory relief. On September 23, 2014, the Plaintiffs entered into a Confidential Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Mayer Hoffman and entities affiliated with Mayer Hoffman to settle the Plaintiffs’ claims against Mayer Hoffman and all affiliated parties of Mayer Hoffman with no admission of liability or fault by any defendant. The settlement proceeds were received on December 4, 2014 and recorded as other income on the consolidated financial statements of Capital Financial Holdings, Inc. In a matter related to the Settlement Agreement, on or about October 6, 2014, the Company filed a lawsuit seeking declaratory judgment against its former errors and omission insurance carrier - Arch Specialty Insurance Company (“Arch”) - in the Circuit Court of Wisconsin for Milwaukee County (Capital Financial Services, Inc. v. Arch Specialty Insurance Company). On or about November 24, 2014, Arch filed counterclaims against the Company. These actions are for declaratory relief in connection with a dispute over whether Arch is entitled to any portion of the settlement proceeds that the Company received in exchange for dismissing the lawsuit with Mayer Hoffman. The Company cannot predict the outcome of the above matters or estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any. Although the proceedings are subject to uncertainties inherent in the litigation process and the ultimate disposition of these proceedings is not presently determinable, management believes that the allegations by Arch in its counterclaims are without merit and that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Depletion is determined by deducting units (barrels of oil) extracted on the unit of production method based on the estimated gross proved reserves as determined by independent petroleum engineers. The percentage of units extracted to the total estimated proven reserves is multiplied by the producing property cost to determine depletion.
Interest expense
Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $195, a decrease of 92% from $2,418 for the same period ended September 30, 2014. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $3,646, a decrease of 69% from $11,705 for the same period ended September 30, 2014. The decrease is due to the interest payments made on the line of credit issued to the holding division in 2014. There is no material interest expense attributable to the other segments.
Liquidity and capital resources
Net cash provided by operating activities was $389,307 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $65,338 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The primary difference corresponds to the timing of payment/reimbursement on the E&O insurance, commissions payable and income taxes.
Net cash used in investing activities was $208,067 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $535,633 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The primary difference corresponds with the launch of the new subsidiary, Capital Natural Resources, Inc., and the asset investments within that subsidiary.
Net cash used in financing activities was $200,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $29,456 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The primary difference corresponds with the payments made on the line of credit.
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 broker recruitment, repurchase of shares of the Company’s common stock, and debt service. 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.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
|
Not Applicable as a Smaller Reporting Company
The Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) and Rule 15c-14(c) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of September 30, 2015, and that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed and summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms.
Disclosure controls and procedures are the controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
We are not currently a “listed company” under SEC rules and are therefore not required to have a board comprised of a majority of independent directors or separate committees comprised of independent directors. We use the definition of “independence” under the NASDAQ Rules, as applicable and as may be modified or supplemented from time to time and the interpretations thereunder, to determine if the members of our Board are independent. In making this determination, our Board considers, among other things, transactions and relationships between each director and his immediate family and us, including those reported in its Annual Report under the caption “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.” The purpose of this review is to determine whether any such relationships or transactions are material and, therefore, inconsistent with a determination that the directors are independent. On the basis of such review and its understanding of such relationships and transactions, our Board has determined that none of our Board members is an independent director.
