TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH
31, 2018 AND 2017
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Capital
Financial Holdings, Inc., a North Dakota corporation, and its
subsidiary Capital Financial Services, Inc. (“CFS”)
(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, 2017, of Capital Financial Holdings, Inc., as filed
with the SEC. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December
31, 2017, 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 three months ended March 31, 2018, are not necessarily
indicative of operating results for the entire year.
NOTE 2 – ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS ISSUED BUT NOT YET
EFFECTIVE
A
summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note
1 of our 2017 Form 10-K filed on April 18, 2018.
ASU
2014-15 —Presentation of
Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40):
Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to
Continue as a Going Concern. The amendment requires that in
connection with preparing financial statements for each annual and
interim reporting period, an entity’s management should
evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the
aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s
ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the
date that the financial statements are issued. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact of its pending adoption of ASU
2014-15.
ASU
2016-02 – Leases (Topic
842): - The amendments in this update supersede nearly all
existing lease guidance under GAAP. The amendment requires the
recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance
sheet by lessees for those leases currently classified as operating
leases. Qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required. This
update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2018 including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early
application is permitted. Entities are required to apply the
amendments at the beginning of the earliest period presented using
a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of its pending adoption of ASU
2016-02.

including employee stock options, based on estimated fair values.
There were no compensation costs or deferred tax benefits
recognized for stock-based compensation awards for the three months

NOTE 6 – 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.
At
March 31, 2018, the Company has approximately $398,000 in federal
net operation loss carry forward which begins to expire in
2036.
NOTE 7 - 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

Options
and warrants to purchase 377 common shares at exercise prices
between $3,500 and $14,300 were outstanding at March 31, 2018, but
were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share
for the quarter ending March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017, because
their effect was anti-dilutive.
NOTE 8 – RULE 4110
(c)(1)
The
Company operates under the provision of FINRA Rule 4410 (c)(1) and,
accordingly, the member is restricted from withdrawing equity
capital for a period of one year from the date such equity capital
is contributed, unless otherwise permitted by FINRA in writing.
Subject to the requirements of paragraph (c)(2) of this Rule, this
paragraph shall not preclude a member from withdrawing profits
earned.
NOTE 9 – REGULATORY MATTERS
The
broker dealer (“BD”) segment of Capital Financial
Services, Inc. is subject to periodic examinations by its
regulators, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority
(“FINRA”) and the Securities Exchange Commission
(“SEC”).
During
the second quarter of 2018, FINRA began conducting a routine
examination of the broker dealer segment. The examination is still
ongoing.
NOTE 10 – BUILDING
PURCHASE
On November 16, 2016, the Company closed on the acquisition of a
commercial office building and associated property (the
“Office Building”) located at 1801 Burdick Expressway
West, Minot, North Dakota from Evanmark Enterprises, LLC, an entity
unrelated to the Company. The contract purchase price for the
Office Building was $975,000, exclusive of closing costs of $9,091,
with all built-in fixtures and other furniture, fixtures and
equipment in the building remaining with the property. The Company
paid $509,091 at closing toward the purchase price of the Office
Building with the remaining $475,000 of the purchase price financed
by a commercial real estate loan from American Bank Center
(“American Bank”) in the principal amount of $675,000,
$475,000 of which was applied to the purchase price of the Office
Building and $200,000 of which was utilized for renovations to the
building. Renovations to the building at cost of $221,264 were made
in 2017 to bring the total cost of the land and building to
$1,195,355. The loan carries a fixed interest rate of 4.879% per
annum for five (5) years with the rate to be adjusted at the end of
the five (5) year period based on the Wall Street Journal Prime
interest rate plus 1.759%. American Bank has a first priority
mortgage on the Office Building.
NOTE 11 – SEGMENT REPORTING
The
Company organizes its current business units into two reportable
segments: broker dealer services and holding company. The
broker-dealer services segment distributes securities and insurance
products to retail investors through a network of registered
representatives through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Capital
Financial Services, Inc. (“CFS”), a Wisconsin
corporation. The holding company encompasses cost associated with
its office building, business development and acquisitions,
dispositions of subsidiary entities and results of discontinued
operations, dividend income and recognized gains or
losses.
The
Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that
offer different products and services. They are managed separately
because each business requires different technology and marketing
strategies.

NOTE 12 – 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, investments alleged to be unsuitable, and
bankruptcies and other issues brought by claimants. 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 March 31, 2018, the Company was a defendant in five
on-going suits or arbitrations as discussed above.
ITEM 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
General
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
segment.
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 1821 Burdick Expressway W, Minot, North Dakota 58701. As
of March 31, 2018, the Company had 16 full-time employees
consisting of officers, principals, data processing, compliance,
accounting, and clerical support staff.
The
Company organized its business units into two reportable segments:
broker dealer services and holding company. The broker-dealer
services segment distributes securities and insurance products to
retail investors through a network of registered representatives
through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Capital Financial Services,
Inc. (“CFS”), a Wisconsin corporation. The holding
company encompasses cost associated with its office building,
business development and acquisitions, dispositions of subsidiary
entities and results of discontinued operations, dividend income
and recognized gains or losses.
The
Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that
offer different products and services. They are managed separately
because each business requires different technology and marketing
strategies.
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
segment.
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
approximately 144 investment representatives and
investment advisors.

The
Company reported a net income for the three months ended March 31,
2018, of $83,393, compared to a net loss of $69,795 for the same
quarter in 2017. The net income for the three months ended March
31, 2018 compared to net loss in the same period in 2017 is
primarily due to increased advisory revenues and decreased
compensation benefits and general and administrative
expenses.
Operating revenues
Total
operating revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2018 were
$3,945,485, an increase of 1% from $3,923,436 for the same period
ended March 31, 2017. The decrease for the three-month period net
revenue categories are listed below.
Fee income
Fee
income for the three months ended March 31, 2018, was $450,012, an
increase of 42% from $315,791 for the same period ended March 31,
2017. The increase is due to an increase in fee income received by
the broker dealer segment as a result of higher values of client
assets under management.
The
Company earns investment advisory fees in connection with the
broker dealer’s 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
approximately 11% of the Company’s consolidated revenues for
the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 8% of the Company’s
consolidated revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2017.
There is no fee income attributable to the other
segments.
Commission income
Commission
income includes broker dealer segment commissions. The Company pays
the registered representatives a percentage of this income as
commission expense and retains the balance. Commission income for
the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $3,474,364, a decrease of
1% from $3,508,998 for the same period ended March 31, 2017. The
decrease was due primarily to the decrease in commissions received
by the broker dealer segment due to reductions in the number of
registered representatives. Commission revenues constituted
approximately 88% of the Company’s consolidated revenues for
the three months ended March 31, 2018. There is no commission
income attributable to the other segments.
Other fee income
Other
operating fee income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was
$21,109, a decrease of 79% from $98,647 for the same period ended
March 31, 2017. The increase was primarily due to a decrease in the
income received related to alternative investment products. There
is no other operating fee income attributable to the holding
segments. Other operating fee income constituted less than 1% of
the Company’s consolidated revenues for the three months
ended March 31, 2018.
Rent income
Effective
in June 2017, the Company’s broker-dealer subsidiary began
paying rent to the Company of $8,500 per month on a month-to-month
basis for a portion of the office facility owned by the Company.
The broker-dealer utilizes approximately 5,817 square feet of
office space for its operations out of a total of 6,188 square feet
utilized by the Company in the office facility. Rent Income and
Rent Expense related to this Company/Subsidiary arrangement are
eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
Operating expenses
Total
operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2018 were
$3,807,470, a decrease of 4% from $3,974,580 for the three months
ended March 31, 2017. The decrease resulted from the net decreases
in the expense categories described below.
Compensation and benefits
Compensation
and benefits expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was
$318,611, a decrease of 18% from $386,497 for the same period ended
March 31, 2017. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in
management compensation
Commission expense
Commission
expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $3,250,644, a
decrease of 1% from $3,282,574 for the same period ended March 31,
2017. The decrease is a result of lower commissions paid to
independent representatives in the broker dealer segment during the
period ended March 31, 2018.
General and administrative expense
General
and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31,
2018 were $222,830, a decrease of 24% from $294,111 for the same
period ended March 31, 2017. The decrease resulted from decreases
in legal and accounting expense.
Depreciation
Depreciation
expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $15,385, an
increase of 35% from $11,398 for the same period ended March 31,
2017. The increase in depreciation expenses was due to increased
depreciation on the Company’s Office Building.
Interest expense
Interest
expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $8,173 an
increase of 41% from $5,794 for the same period ended March 31,
2017. The increase is due to the interest payments made on the
building mortgage during 2017.
Liquidity and capital resources
Net
cash provided by operating activities was $35,075 for the three
months ended March 31, 2018, as compared to net cash provided by
operating activities of $154,195 during the three months ended
March 31, 2017. The primary difference corresponds to reductions in
commissions payable and accounts payables.
Net
cash used in investing activities was $4,548 for the three months
ended March 31, 2018, as compared to net cash provided by investing
activities of $101,558 for the three months ended March 31, 2017.
The primary difference is attributable to increased mortgage debt
in 2017 related to on the recently purchased office space compared
to normal monthly loan payments made in 2018.
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
increased compliance and legal costs with respect to its broker
dealer subsidiary related to regulatory and litigation
matters.

The
Company is a financial services holding company that, through its
broker dealer subsidiary, provides brokerage, investment advisory,
insurance and related services. The Company operates in a highly
regulated and competitive industry that is influenced by numerous
external factors such as economic conditions, marketplace liquidity
and volatility, monetary policy, global and national political
events, regulatory developments, competition, and investor
preferences. The Company’s revenues and net earnings may be
either enhanced or diminished from period to period by such
external factors. The Company remains focused on continuing to
reduce redundant operating costs, upgrade operating efficiency,
recruit quality representatives and grow our revenue base. The
Company provides broker-dealer services in support of trading and
investment by its representatives’ customers in corporate
equity and debt securities, U.S. Government securities, municipal
securities, mutual funds, private placement alternative
investments, variable annuities and variable life insurance. The
Company also provides investment advisory services for its
representative’s customers.
A key
component of the broker-dealer subsidiary’s business strategy
is to recruit well-established, productive representatives who
generate substantial revenues from an array of investment products
and services. Additionally, the broker-dealer subsidiary assists
its representatives in developing and expanding their business by
providing a variety of support services and a diversified range of
investment products for their clients.

ITEM 4.
Controls and Procedures
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 March 31, 2018, 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.
