INSTRUCTIONS

Schedule B — Supplemental Report

Operational Capital Charge Items

General — For reporting purposes the debit (short value) column II and credit (long value) column III should be rounded to the nearest one thousand dollars ($000
omitted). Omit pennies in column IV.
Complete columns I, II, and III of the Schedule only if required by your designated examining authority.
Include on lines 1-7 all items that are, or result in, capital charges or additions to aggregate indebtedness at the report date even if resolved subsequently. Items
resolved subsequent to the report date may be shown on line 9 at the option of the respondent unless specifically required by the Examining Authority or as noted
herein.
All commodity money suspense differences and uncompared and unconfirmed items should be reported on line 6 only.
If the designated examining authority requires completion of columns I, II and Ill, all aged operational items (lines 1-7) are reportable whether they result in a capital
charge or not.
If more than one item is reportable for each line the aggregate number of items should be reported in Column I. The related aggregate amount (values) are reportable
in Columns II, III and IV if required. A related money and security value should be considered as one item.
Suspense and reconciliation difference items may not be updated by transfer, journal entry or otherwise, to another account with a different nomenclature. Each
item must retain its original discovery date unless clearly identified with another item.
Suspense Differences (relative to lines 1, 2, 3 and 4) — The net capital treatment of suspense differences is as follows:
The net capital treatment of security positions and money balances whose ultimate disposition is not known, e.g., DKs and suspense items which remain unresolved
(7) business days after discovery, is as follows:
1)

Long position and related debit balance, and short position and related credit balance — treat as proprietary commitments that cannot operate to increase
net capital (see line 2 instructions);

Long position only — no deduction except as noted herein (see line 3 instructions);

Short position and breaks only — deduct current market value (Rule 15c3-I (c)(2)(v)) (see treatment of security count difference below and lines 3 and
4 instructions);

Credit balance only — include in aggregate indebtedness; and

Debit balance only — deductions (see line 1 instructions).

The resolution of suspense or difference items after the report date shall not result in a reduction of the required charge as of the report date. For example, a short
security difference which is open at the report date and has been unresolved for seven (7) business days after discovery is required to be deducted even though
the difference is resolved prior to the date the FOCUS Report is filed.
Security Count Differences (relative to lines 2, 3, 4 and 5) — Rule 17a-13 (Quarterly Security Count Requirements) requires unresolved differences to be recorded
in a difference account no later than seven business days following the security count and verification. Paragraph (b)(3) of the Rule requires verification of all
securities in transfer, in transit, pledged, loaned, borrowed, deposited, failed to receive and deliver or otherwise subject to the broker/dealer’s control or direction
but not in his physical possession where such securities have been in said status for longer than 30 days. With respect to these items requiring verification, the
seven day period begins after verification takes place; that is, when a confirmation is returned indicating a discrepancy with the books and records of the broker/
dealer, or where such confirmations have not been returned within a reasonable period of time (15 days) to establish the validity of the position. In instances where
confirmations have been outstanding for 15 business days without return, the broker/dealer should record as a difference such securities on the 22nd business
day.

Specific Line Item Instructions
Line 1. Money suspense and balancing differences (money only)

These differences shall include any amount required to balance the general ledger and unresolved differences between general ledger control accounts and

subsidiary records or balancing of blotters, etc.

A “debit” difference is one that, if recorded in the general ledger, would result in a debit balance. This may result because of an amount needed to balance excess

ledger credits over ledger debits or as a result of adjusting general ledger control accounts to subsidiary records. Report debit differences in columns II and IV.

A “credit” difference is one that, if recorded in the general ledger, would result in a credit balance. This may result because of an amount needed to balance excess

ledger debits over ledger credits or as a result of adjusting general ledger control accounts to subsidiary records. Report credit differences in column III only.

Money suspense and balancing differences shall also include all accounts, in whole or part, containing ledger debits or credits, representing unidentified or

unknown items with no related security position or an account which may contain security positions that cannot be properly related to the money ledger balances.

Money differences could include, but are not limited to the following:

a.
b.
c.
d.
e.

Unallocated receipts or disbursements.
Cash Dividend Balancing Accounts (out-of-balance proofs).
Money Balancing Accounts (EDP), Cage, P&S, Accounting and others.
Unresolved Money Differences resulting from the comparison of detail records to control accounts for customer accounts, fail to receive, fail to deliver,
stock borrowed, stock loaned, bank loans, inter-office accounts and adjustments of General Ledger control accounts to agree to subsidiary records.
Any accounts utilized to balance “daily work” which contain debits or credits requiring resolution. If any such accounts exist, the ledger balance resulting
from one day’s “out of balance” work, shall not be netted against another day’s “out of balance” work, unless related to each other.

For reporting purposes, debit and credit money differences shall not be netted.
Line 2.
Securities differences with related money balances — Report in Columns I, II and III all transactions in any accounts containing a long or short security
position with a related ledger balance pending determination of ownership, collectibility, or deliverability, which are in doubt.
Long positions and related debits, and short positions and related credits are treated as proprietary commitments in computing net capital if they remain unresolved
seven (7) business days after discovery. This requires mark to market adjustments and haircut charges computed under subparagraph (c)(2)(vi), (f)(3) or Appendix
A. The aggregate total of deductions is reportable in Column IV and shall not operate to increase net capital.
Line 3. Market value of short and long suspense and differences without related money — shall include all transactions in any accounts containing long

and short security positions, for which no related ledger balance exists regardless of the nomenclature of the account.

Long differences are generally ignored in the capital computation process unless the securities have been sold by the broker/dealer before the differences are

adequately resolved. In such instances, include the excess of the market value (Column III ) of the long securities sold over any reserve established as deductions

in Column IV.

The market value of short security differences is deducted in the computation of net capital if the differences remain unresolved seven days after discovery (see

Rule 15c3-1(c)(2)(v)), and should be reported in Columns II and IV.

Unrelated differences in the same security or other securities shall not be netted.

Line 4. Market value of security record breaks — Security record breaks are defined as out-of-balance error conditions in the daily recording of security position

changes or movements where the total longs do not equal the total shorts on a given security.

“Long” differences are the amounts needed to balance an excess of short positions over long positions. When recorded in a difference account, such would be

recorded long on the stock record.

“Short” differences are the amounts needed to balance an excess of long positions over short positions. When recorded in a difference account, such would be

recorded short on the stock record.

Security record breaks resulting from one day’s “out of balance” shall not be netted against another day’s “out of balance” work unless research specifically

discloses that it is the proper resolution of particular differences.

The day of discovery for security record breaks should be the day following after any movement in a security and may not be updated by transferring the break

to a suspense or difference account unless related to some other clearly indentifiable item of suspense or difference item.

The market value of long security record breaks unresolved seven business days after discovery should be reported in Column III.

The market value of short security record breaks are deductions in the computation of net capital if they remain unresolved seven days after discovery (see Rule

15c-3-1(c)(2)(v)), and should be reported in columns II and IV.

Unrelated security breaks in the same or other securities shall not be netted.

14 of 15

Line 5. Unresolved reconciling differences with others — the respondent shall report in column IV the total net overall unfavorable aged reconciling differences
disclosed by reconciliations (lines 5A-F) when required to be deducted in computing net capital. Each broker-dealer having any such differences shall maintain
a record of the date of receipt of the pertinent statement of account or, in the absence of such record, shall compute the elapsed days (aging) from the date of the
statement. The treatment of differences disclosed by reconciliations required under Rule 17a-13 shall be governed by the requirements of that Rule.
Differences which have been resolved but which have not yet been appropriately corrected in the records shall be so identified on the reconciliations and may be
considered resolved for purposes of computing net capital. Unresolved favorable and unfavorable differences with the same carrying entity may be netted for
purposes of determining the deductions in computing net capital.
Debit amounts and short values (Column II) or credit amounts and long values (Column III) applicable to all unresolved reconciling items should be reported broad
and not netted. Offsetting favorable and unfavorable differences by the same carrying entity should be reported on line 5 G as a (deduction) in Columns II and III.
Line 6. Commodity suspense differences unresolved — Report on this line all unresolved commodity differences or suspense items as a result of internal
balancing of records, and comparison of broker-dealer’s books of accounts with the records of clearing organizations and others. Such items would include:
1.
2.

Customer, non-customer, omnibus and proprietary accounts.
Ledger balances and realized and unrealized gains and losses relating to long and short positions in spot (cash) commodities, forward contracts in
commodities and futures contracts.
Report in Column II aggregate total debits, unrealized losses or short values and in Column III credits, unrealized gains or long values relating to
deductions from net capital. The aggregate deduction from net capital is reportable in Column IV; that is, losses which would be incurred to correct
unresolved recordkeeping differences, including differences with other entities as of the report date which have not been resolved, within time frames
required, for firm, customer, non-customer, omnibus, clearing, and contract differences accounts.
In determining data to be included in the report, the following schedule may be used. It should be noted that this schedule may not be all-inclusive. Other
suspense items not included in this schedule should also be reported on line 6.
