NOTE 3 - RECLASSIFICATION
Certain amounts in the 2013 condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2014 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. As of June 30, 2014, the Company owned 1,400,000 shares of CNR. 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.
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 June 30, 2014, notes held with Baron Energy, Inc., carried a balance of $125,000. At maturity, the notes are convertible at the option of the note holder into specified non-operating minority working interests in approximately 8,000 acres of Baron Energy, Inc.’s oil and gas operations in Frio County, Texas. As additional compensation to the note holder, at the maturity of the notes, regardless of whether the note holder elects to convert the principal of the notes to non-operating minority working interests, the note holder will be assigned specified non-operating minority working interests in approximately 8,000 acres of 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 5 - GOODWILL
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.
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.
The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually during the second quarter of each fiscal year. If an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value, goodwill will be evaluated for impairment between annual tests. There were no events that occurred nor a change in circumstances that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value during the second quarter in 2014. In compliance with its annual testing policy, the Company performed a complete two step analysis on its goodwill. It was determined that the Company’s book value was below the fair market value for the Company, indicating that no impairment was required.
NOTE 6 – LINE OF CREDIT
On August 9, 2013, the Company signed loan documents for a line of credit with a local bank, American Bank Center, in the amount of $300,000 in order to help fund the cash redemption of less than whole shares which resulted from the 1:10,000 reverse stock split, which occurred on August 14, 2013. The line of credit has a variable interest rate of 1.509 percent above Wall Street Journal U.S. Prime Rate which was 3.25% as of June 30, 2014. The Company makes monthly interest payments. The loan matures August 8, 2014. The Company has set up monthly payments with an automatic payment of $25,000. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had outstanding $54,077 against its line of credit. As of June 30, 2014, the balance was $54,077 and interest expense on this line of credit was $7,260. There are no financial covenants associated with the line of credit. On July 9, 2014, the Company made a monthly payment of $25,000 to the line of credit. On July 17, 2014, the Company made a final payment to the line of credit in the amount of $29,422.
On July 14, 2014, the Company signed loan documents for a line of credit with American Bank Center in the amount of $300,000.The line of credit has a variable interest rate of 1.509 percent above Wall Street Journal U.S. Prime Rate. The Company will make monthly interest payments beginning August of 2014. The loan matures with the principal due on July 14, 2015. The Company has set up monthly payments with an automatic payment of $25,000.
NOTE 7 - STOCK WARRANTS, STOCK SPLITS, AND STOCK OPTIONS
The Company measures and records compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, 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 six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. Changes are due to the stock buyback and reverse stock split.

Exercisable options totaled 538.8113 at December 31, 2013 and totaled 463.8113 at June 30, 2014.
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 in 2014, the deferred tax assets associated with stock compensation valued under the Black Scholes model were reduced. As of June 30, 2014, approximately $95,000 was recorded as tax expense.
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:

Options and warrants to purchase 673.6113 common shares at exercise prices between $3,500 and $14,300 were outstanding at June 30, 2014, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the quarter ending June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, because their effect was anti-dilutive.
NOTE 10 – FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES
The Company has adopted 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 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. CFS had determined based off of the information provided by the Limited Partnership that the fair market value of the $76,876 investment was estimated at $45,000 based on discounted cash flows at the time of purchase by CFS which was included in other assets at December 31, 2013. Since then, CFS determined, based off of information provided by the Limited Partnership that, as of March 19, 2013, the fair market value of this $76,876 investment was $12,214, based on discounted cash flows. In May of 2013, CFS opted to exercise the “presentment” feature and was paid the current value of the investment in the amount of $11,923. No balance remains as of June 30, 2014.
On June 9, 2014, the Company launched a new wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Capital Natural Resources, Inc., by acquiring shares of common stock of Capital Natural Resources, Inc. (“CNR”). 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. On June 11, 2014 and June 27, 2014, Baron Energy, Inc., issued promissory notes to Capital Natural Resources, Inc. (the “note holder”) in the amounts of $85,000 and $40,000 respectively. The three notes carry an interest rate of 15% per annum, payable monthly, and mature on June 12, 2016 and June 28, 2016 respectively. As of June 30, 2014, notes held with Baron Energy, Inc., carried a balance of $125,000. At maturity, the notes are convertible at the option of the note holder into specified non-operating minority working interests in approximately 8,000 acres of Baron Energy, Inc.’s oil and gas operations in Frio County, Texas. As additional compensation to the note holder, at the maturity of the notes, regardless of whether the note holder elects to convert the principal of the notes to non-operating minority working interests, the note holder will be assigned specified non-operating minority working interests in approximately 8,000 acres of 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.
The Company has accumulated cash for the possible future payments of severance and benefits for senior management, should they leave. This is an accrual the company has elected to set aside for possible future obligations. These funds are reflected as Severance Escrow on the balance sheet, and consist of cash accounts.

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 August 4, 2014, the Company is a defendant in six on-going suits or arbitrations as discussed above. The Company expects to vigorously defend and ultimately prevail in these cases. No further payments will be required on the aforementioned settled proceedings. During 2012, the Company settled a lawsuit that required a $22,000 payment in 2013 and an additional $22,000 payment during 2014. The additional and final payment was booked as a current liability as of December 31, 2013, and payment was made on April 25, 2014, in the amount of $22,000.
NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On July 23, 2014, the Company settled a lawsuit in the amount of $14,000. No further payments will be required on the aforementioned settled proceedings.
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. On July 22, 2014, Baron Energy, Inc. issued promissory notes to CNR (the “note holder”) in the amount of $375,000. At maturity, the note is convertible at the option of the note holder into specified non-operating minority working interests in approximately 8,000 acres of Baron Energy, Inc.’s oil and gas operations in Frio County, Texas. As additional compensation to the note holder, at the maturity of the note, regardless of whether the note holder elects to convert the principal of the note to non-operating minority working interests, the note holder will be assigned specified non-operating minority working interests in approximately 8,000 acres of 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 note.

On August 9, 2013, the Company signed loan documents for a line of credit with a local bank, American Bank Center, in the amount of $300,000 in order to help fund the cash redemption of less than whole shares which resulted from the 1:10,000 reverse stock split, which occurred on August 14, 2013.

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 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.

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.
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 June 30, 2014, 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 this 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.
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 August 4, 2014, the Company is a defendant in six on-going suits or arbitrations as discussed above. The Company expects to vigorously defend and ultimately prevail in these cases. No further payments will be required on the aforementioned settled proceedings. During 2012, the Company settled a lawsuit that required a $22,000 payment in 2013 and an additional $22,000 payment during 2014. The additional and final payment was booked as a current liability as of December 31, 2013, and payment was made on April 25, 2014, in the amount of $22,000.
