CAPITAL FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC., AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
September 30, 2011 and 2010

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Capital Financial Holdings, Inc., a North Dakota corporation, and its subsidiary (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, 2010, of Capital Financial Holdings, Inc., as filed with the SEC.  The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2010, contained herein, was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures included in the Form 10-K and applicable under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, but not required for interim reporting purposes, have been condensed or omitted.

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (which are of a normal, recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements.  The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the entire year.

NOTE 2 – RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 1 on pages F-9 through F-11 of our 2010 Form 10-K.

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations.  ASC 805 generally requires an acquirer to recognize the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, contingent purchase consideration and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at fair value on the date of acquisition.  It also requires an acquirer to recognize as expense most transaction and restructuring costs as incurred, rather than include such items in the cost of the acquired entity.  For the Company, ASC 805 applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after October 1, 2009.  The adoption of ASC 805 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

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.

NOTE 3 - RECLASSIFICATION

Certain amounts in the 2010 condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2011 presentation.  These reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s net income (loss).

NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES

The Company has completed various acquisitions in prior years, which have been classified as goodwill at the time of acquisition.  The Company amortizes certain goodwill for tax purposes. The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually for book purposes, during the second quarter of each fiscal year.  The annual test is done at the reporting unit level using a fair value approach, in accordance with the FASB accounting and reporting standards.  Deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities may result from these timing differences.

The Company has adopted the FASB accounting and reporting standards for share-based payment (See Note 8 – Stock Warrants, Stock Splits, and Stock Options.)  As a result, the Company expenses stock-based employee compensation for book purposes on the grant date, but does not expense them for tax purposes until such options are exercised.  Deferred tax assets are a result of these timing differences.

NOTE 5 - BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

On April 22, 2005, the Company acquired the management rights to the IPS Millennium Fund and the IPS New Frontier Fund from IPS Advisory, Inc. (“IPS Advisory”), and merged them into a new Integrity Fund called the Integrity Growth & Income Fund.  The two funds had combined assets of approximately $57 million at the time of acquisition.  The purchase agreement called for total consideration of approximately 656,000 common shares of the Company.  The Company provided IPS Advisory with 250,000 common shares upon closing.  The remaining consideration of approximately 406,000 common shares, which was subject to adjustment based on retention of assets in the fund, was to be issued as follows:  203,000 common shares at the one-year anniversary of the closing date, and 203,000 common shares at the two-year anniversary of the closing date.  The shares are subject to a put option, which allows the holders of the shares to put them back to the Company at a price equal to the market price of the Company’s shares as of the closing date, which was $.36 per share.  The put option was exercisable with respect to one-third of the shares per year starting on the third anniversary of the closing date.  The Company also provided IPS Advisory with a stock option incentive bonus based on growth in assets in the Fund based on the following schedule:  150,000 options on the Company’s common shares if assets of the Fund reach $100 million and 150,000 options on the Company’s common shares if the assets of the Fund reach $200 million.  The options will have a strike price of $.65 per share and mature 10 years from the closing date.  The securities issued in connection with this transaction were issued on a private placement basis. In April of 2006, the one-year anniversary payment of 158,603 common shares was made, which reflected the assets of the acquired funds at the one-year anniversary.  In June of 2007, the two-year anniversary payment of 138,797 common shares was made, which reflected the assets of the acquired funds at the two-year anniversary.  In April 2010 the put option mentioned above expired, which resulted in the liability of this acquisition to be reduced to $0.

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 receipt of 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 restricted common shares 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 September 30, 2011, the Company had made eighteen quarterly installment payments totaling $393,556.  The liability relating to this acquisition is valued at approximately $108,210 as of September 30, 2011, and has also been recorded by the Company as goodwill.  Due to the goodwill impairment charge that was recorded on December 31, 2010 (See Note 6-Goodwill), as of September 30, 2011, the total goodwill recorded relating to this acquisition was $583,321.

NOTE 6 - GOODWILL

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, are as follows:

Balance as of January 1, 2011
  $ 2,574,413  
Goodwill acquisition price adjustment during the period
    (73,585 )
Balance as of September 30, 2011
  $ 2,500,828  

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.  At June 30, 2011, by using an independent third-party appraisal, the Company determined that there was not an impairment of goodwill.
 
In December of 2010, 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 determined it was necessary to perform an interim goodwill impairment test. At that time the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment loss of $753,518 in the Broker-Dealer Services segment. The fair value of that reporting unit was estimated by using an independent third-party appraisal.

NOTE 7 – 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.

NOTE 11 – 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.  The fair market value of this $76,876 investment is estimated to be $45,000 based on discounted cash flows; however this amount could fluctuate with the prices of oil and natural gas.  CFS has determined, based off of information provided by the Limited Partnership, that the “presentment” feature will not be utilized at this time, due to the reduction in the present value of the investment.

In December of 2010, 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 determined it was necessary to perform an interim goodwill impairment test. At that time the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment loss of $753,518 in the Broker-Dealer Services segment. The fair value of that reporting unit was estimated by using an independent third-party appraisal.

The following table presents the assets and liabilities carried on the balance sheet by caption and by level within the codification hierarchy (as described above) as of December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2011, for which a nonrecurring change in fair value had been recorded during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

The Company reported a net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, of $121,608, compared to a net loss of $154,942 for the same quarter in 2010.  The Company reported net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 of $122,734, compared to a net loss of $215,990 for the same period in 2010.

Operating revenues

Total operating revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 were $4,170,723, a decrease of 12% from $4,714,262 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.  Total operating revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $14,039,489, a decrease of 3% from $14,405,448 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  The decreases for the quarter and nine-month periods resulted primarily from decreased commission income received by CFS.

Fee Income

Fee income for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 was $241,824, an increase of 11% from $218,121 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.  Fee income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $751,737, an increase of 4% from $723,471for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  The increases were due to rise in fee income received by CFS, as a result of higher values of client assets under management.

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 commission expense and retains the balance.  These fees constituted 5% of the Company’s consolidated revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Commission Income

Commission income includes CFS commissions.  The Company pays the registered representatives a percentage of this income as commission expense and retains the balance. Commission income for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 was $3,758,218, a decrease of 13% from $4,337,266 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.  Commission income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $12,854,662, a decrease of 3% from $13,222,033 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  The decreases were due primarily to the reduction in commissions received by CFS due to market conditions. Future market conditions will continue to impact commission levels.  Commission revenues constituted 92% of the Company’s consolidated revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Interest and other income

Interest and other income for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 was $170,681, an increase of 7% from $158,875 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.  Interest and other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $433,090, a decrease of 6% from $459,944 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  The increase in the quarter was due primarily to settlement checks received, addressed to Integrity Money Management, Inc., which was closed after the mutual fund division sale in 2009, and the decrease in the nine month period was due to a reduction in settlement checks received, regarding the same subsidiary.  Interest and other income constituted 3% of the Company’s consolidated revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

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.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
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, including a number of investigatory matters and legal proceedings arising out of customer allegations related to past commissioned sales of alternative investment products.  In 2007 through the first quarter of 2009 a substantial amount (approximately 10% to 20%) of the Company’s sales of commissioned products were in private placements of alternative products, two of which as of December 31, 2009 (Medical Capital Corporation and related issuer entities and Provident Royalties, LLC and related issuer entities) were placed in receivership by action of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and issuers of certain other alternative products sold by the Company are in Chapter 11 Bankruptcy or may have other financial difficulties.  Additionally, difficult economic conditions in general and the stock market decline have contributed to decline in our broker-dealer subsidiary’s client portfolio values.  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 regulatory scrutiny and a number of legal and/or arbitration proceedings, including two proceedings seeking certification as class actions which name the Company as one of a number of defendants and allege various securities law or conduct violations, one with respect to private placements of Medical Capital Corporation and related issuer entities for which the broker-dealer subsidiary placed approximately $100 million of debt securities and the other with regard to private placements of Provident Royalties, LLC and related issuer entities for which the broker-dealer subsidiary placed approximately $60 million of debt securities.  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 a range of loss that may result; 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.
