The Company is a financial services holding company that, through its broker dealer subsidiary, Capital Financial Services, Inc., 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.
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, 2013, the Company had 16 full-time employees consisting of officers, securities distribution, data processing, compliance, accounting, and clerical support staff.
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
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, 2013, the Company had made twenty-one quarterly installment payments. There is no longer a liability relating to this acquisition. Due to the goodwill impairment charge that was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2012, as of December 31, 2013, the total goodwill recorded relating to this acquisition was $456,410.
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.
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 211 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 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
None.

The Company’s principal offices are located at 1 Main Street North, Minot, North Dakota 58703. At this location, the Company leases 7,184 square feet of office and storage space. The Company believes that the leased space is adequate for the Company’s operating needs. The rental lease agreement ends March 31, 2016.
The Company 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, arbitration and regulatory investigations. 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. At December 31, 2013, 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. During 2012, the Company settled lawsuits that required a $22,000 payment in 2013 and an additional $22,000 payment during 2014. In January of 2014, the Company settled a lawsuit in the amount of $10,000. In January of 2014, an additional arbitration was received. An analysis of contingent liabilities, if any, has not been completed as of the time of this filing. No further payments will be required on the aforementioned settled proceedings.
Not applicable to the Company.

Year Ended December 31, 2013, compared with Year Ended December 31, 2012:
Operating Revenues—Total operating revenues for 2013 were $21,422,473, an increase of 17% from $18,281,850 in 2012. The increase resulted from increased commission income earned by CFS, the Company’s broker-dealer division.
Fee Income—Fee income for 2013 was $1,034,004, a 6% increase from $972,049 in 2012. 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 5% of the Company’s consolidated revenues in 2013.
Commission Income—Commission income includes all concessions received. The Company pays the registered representatives a percentage of this income as commission expense and retains the balance. Commission income for 2013 was $19,720,342, a 15% increase from $17,030,021 in 2012. The increase was due primarily to a increase in commissions received by CFS as a result of market conditions and the addition of new representatives in 2012 and 2013. Future market conditions will continue to impact commission levels. Commission rvenues constituted 92% of the Company’s consolidated revenues in 2013.
Other Income—Other income for 2013 was $668,127 a 139% increase from $279,780 in 2012. The increase was due primarily to an increase in marketing and other income overrides from sales on alternative investments. Other income constituted 3% of the Company’s consolidated revenues in 2013.
Operating Expenses—Total operating expenses for 2013 were $20,745,248 a 13% increase from $18,311,122 in 2012. The increase resulted from the net increases in the expense categories described in the paragraphs below.
Compensation and Benefits—Compensation and benefits expense for 2013 was $1,426,151, a 25% increase from $1,139,265 in 2012. The increase resulted primarily from a increase in salaries, wages, insurance premiums and 401k contributions.
Commission Expense—Commission expense for 2013 was $18,044,891, a 16% increase from $15,525,721 in 2012. The increase corresponds with the increase in commission income.
Goodwill Impairment Expense— There was no goodwill impairment expense for 2013 compared to $314,531 in 2012.
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.
As of December 31, 2013, there were no impairment indicators, so further testing of goodwill was not deemed necessary.
In the first quarter of 2012, 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’s only reporting unit) 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 $314,531 was necessary to reduce the carrying value of goodwill to its implied fair value.
General and Administrative Expenses—Total general and administrative expenses for 2013 were $1,248,748, comparable to $1,295,925 in 2012. The decrease is due to a reduction in compensation paid to directors, insurance, due diligence expense, utilities expense and computer software expense.
Depreciation and Amortization—Depreciation and amortization for 2013 was $25,458, a 29% decrease from $35,680 in 2012. he primary difference corresponds with the sale of the building and the disposal of assets that occurred in 2012.
Interest Expense—Interest expense was $4,900 for 2013, an 85% decrease from $32,517 in 2012. The decrease was due to the fact that we paid in full a promissory note in 2012.

Fee Income—Fee income for 2012 was $972,049, a 6% decrease from $1,031,083 in 2011. The decrease was due to a decrease in fees received by CFS as a result of a decrease in assets under management in CFS’ registered investment advisor.

Other Income—Other income for 2012 was $279,780, a 64% decrease from $778,453 in 2011.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
On December 31, 2013, the Company held $1,665,123 in cash and cash equivalents, as compared to $1,221,606 on December 31, 2012. Liquid assets, which consist of cash and cash equivalents, totaled $1,665,123 at December 31, 2013, as compared to $1,221,606 on December 31, 2012, and $929,030 on December 31, 2011. 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 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.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Management of Capital Financial Holdings, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiary, the “Company”), is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.

Based on this assessment, management has determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, is effective.
The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and acquisitions and dispositions of assets; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAPs, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors of the Company; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of Company assets that could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

SEE NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
CAPITAL FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC., AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2013, 2012 AND 2011
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 based on the trade date. The revenue earned from 12b-1 is recognized ratably over the period received. Investment advisory fees are derived from account management and investment advisory services. These fees are determined based on a percentage of the customer’s assets under sponsor management or a flat fee, may be billed monthly or quarterly and recognized ratably over the period received.
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. As of December 31, 2013 the balance in the Company’s Dain account and Pershing account was $35,000 and $100,000 respectively.
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.
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 of 5-7 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. There were no debt issue costs for the years 2013, 2012 or 2011.
Advertising—Costs of advertising and promotion are expensed as incurred. Advertising and promotion costs aggregated $0 in 2013, $464 in 2012 and $45 in 2011.
Earnings per common share—Basic earnings per common share was computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding of 1,241 in 2013, 1,446 2012 and 1,464 in 2011. 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.
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 voluntarily 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 2012 and 2011 have been reclassified to conform to the 2013 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s net income/(loss).
Concentration of Credit Risk - 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.
Recent Accounting Developments—The Company adopted ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The adoption of ASC 820-10 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company adopted ASU 2012-02, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. ASU 2012-02 simplifies how an entity tests indefinite-lived intangibles assets other than goodwill for impairment. Another objective of ASU 2012-02 is to improve the consistency of impairment testing guidance among long-term asset categories. The amendments are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2012-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of ASU No. 2013-11 on our financial statements. In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit when a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. This standard requires an entity to present unrecognized tax benefits as a reduction to deferred tax assets when a net operating loss carryforward, similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward exists, with limited exceptions. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2013, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.

Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2013 and 2012 consist of cash and savings accounts of $1,665,123 and $1,221,606 and severance escrow of $257,412 and $254,196 respectively.

NOTE 4—BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS
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. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had made twenty-one quarterly installment payments. There is no longer a liability relating to this acquisition.

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).
Deferred tax assets (liabilities) were comprised of the following:

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. The Company is aware of the risk that the recorded deferred tax assets may not be realizable. However, management believes that the Company will obtain the full benefit of the deferred tax assets on the basis of its evaluation of the Company’s anticipated profitability over the period of years that the temporary differences are expected to become tax deductions. It believes that sufficient book and taxable income will be generated to realize the benefit of these tax assets.
ASC 740 guidance requires that the Company evaluate all monetary tax positions taken, and recognize a liability for any uncertain tax positions that are not more likely than not to be sustained by the tax authorities. The Company has not recorded any liabilities, or interest and penalties, as of December 31, 2013 related to uncertain tax positions.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. and various state jurisdictions. There are currently no federal or state income tax examinations underway for these jurisdictions. The tax years 2010-2012 remain open to examination by taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.
A reconciliation of the difference between the expected income tax benefit (expense) computed at the U.S. statutory income tax rate of 35% and the Company’s income tax expense is shown in the following table:

In 2011, the Company had an estimated net operating loss carryover of approximately $235,000 that would expire if unused in 2030. The Company used $208,870 on their 2012 tax return and the remaining $28,825 will be applied to on the 2013 tax return.
NOTE 8—STOCK WARRANTS, STOCK SPLITS, AND STOCK OPTIONS
The Company has authorized 210 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 1 for 10,000 in 2013, 2 for 1 in 2002, and 11 for 10 in 1990 and 1989. 0.2 warrants (adjusted for the 1 for 10,000 stock split in 2013 and the 2 for 1 stock split in 2002) were exercised in 1997, leaving an outstanding balance of 209 warrants as of December 31, 2013.
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., 50 options were granted in January of 2002 at a strike price of $5,000. 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.
The Company has 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, 2013.
In June of 2013, shareholders approved by a majority vote a 10,000 to 1 reverse stock split during the annual meeting of shareholders. The reverse stock split became effective on August 14, 2013.

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.
Based on the analysis performed during the quarter ended March 31, 2012, the Company’s reporting unit’s fair market value of $3.07 million is less than its carrying value of $3.39 million. Therefore, impairment of $314,531 was indicated, and the Company proceeded to the second step of the testing process and determined that the Company would record goodwill impairment of $314,531 during the 1Q of 2012 to reduce the carrying value of goodwill to its implied fair value. Losses of $314,531 represent an impairment charge related to the goodwill attributable to the Broker-Dealer business.
As of December 31, 2013, there were no impairment indicators, so further testing of goodwill was not deemed necessary.
NOTE 13—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. 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 at December 31, 2013.

Options and warrants to purchase 749 common shares at exercise prices between $3,500 and $14,300 were outstanding at December 31, 2013, but were not included in the computation of earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2013. 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.
NOTE 15—COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

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.
The results of the mutual fund segment are reported in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations separately as discontinued operations. In accordance with GAAP, the Consolidated Balance Sheets have not been restated.
Summarized financial information for discontinued operations is as follows:

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 and has no impact for the twelve months ending December 31, 2012 or the twelve months ending December 31, 2013.
NOTE 18—LITIGATION
The Company operates in a legal and regulatory environment that exposes it to potentially significant litigation risks. investigations. 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. At December 31, 2013, 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. During 2012, the Company settled lawsuits that required a $22,000 payment in 2013 and an additional $22,000 payment during 2014. In January of 2014, the Company settled a lawsuit in the amount of $10,000. In January of 2014, an additional arbitration was received. An analysis of contingent liabilities, if any, has not been completed as of the time of this filing. No further payments will be required on the aforementioned settled proceedings.
NOTE 19—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In January of 2014, the Company settled a lawsuit in the amount of $10,000. In January of 2014, an additional arbitration was received. An analysis of contingent liabilities, if any, has not been completed as of the time of this filing. No further payments will be required on the aforementioned settled lawsuits.
