Basis of Presentation

Reverse Recapitalization

On March 15, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), Binah Capital consummated the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated July 7, 2022 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement” and the consummation of such contemplated transactions, the “Closing”), by and among Kingswood Acquisition Corp, a Delaware corporation (“KWAC”), Binah Capital, Kingswood Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Kingswood Merger Sub”), Wentworth Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Wentworth Merger Sub”), and Wentworth Management Services LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Wentworth”). Binah Capital, Kingswood Merger Sub and Wentworth Merger Sub were newly formed entities that were formed for the sole purpose of entering into and consummating the transaction set forth in the Merger Agreement. Binah Capital was a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of KWAC and both Kingswood Merger Sub and Wentworth Merger Sub were wholly-owned direct subsidiaries of Binah Capital. On the Closing Date, Kingswood Merger Sub merged with and into KWAC, with KWAC continuing as the surviving entity as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Binah Capital and Wentworth Merger Sub merged with and into Wentworth, with Wentworth continuing as the surviving entity as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Binah Capital. Following the Wentworth merger, KWAC acquired, and Binah Capital contributed to KWAC all of the common units of Wentworth directly held by Binah Capital after the Wentworth merger, such that, following the Binah Capital contribution, Wentworth became a wholly-owned subsidiary of KWAC.

Notwithstanding the legal form of the Merger pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the Merger is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. Under this method of accounting, KWAC is expected to be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the consolidated financial statements of Binah Capital will represent a continuation of the consolidated financial statements of Wentworth with the business combination treated as the equivalent of the Wentworth issuing shares for the net assets of KWAC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of KWAC will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the business combination will be those of Wentworth in future reports of Holdings (See Note 3 – Mergers and Recapitalization).

Basis of Presentation

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (“condensed consolidated financial statements”) are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions regarding the valuation and impairments of intangible assets and deferred income taxes, allowance for credit losses, contingencies, and other matters that affect the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are in the opinion of management, necessary to represent fairly the results of operations for the interim periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions and the differences may be material to the condensed financial statements.

1.	DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Holdings and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Significant inter-company transactions and balances were eliminated in consolidation.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the valuation and impairments of intangible assets and deferred income taxes, allowance for credit losses, and contingencies.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues from contracts with customers are recognized when control of the promised services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services. For additional information see Note 4 - Revenues From Contracts with Customers.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash on deposit and money market funds all of which have original maturities of three months or less.

Restricted cash represents cash held by the Company’s lender related to its credit facility. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 restricted cash amounted to approximately $0.4 million.

The Company regularly maintains cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash that exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits. The Company has not experienced any losses and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk from cash.

Receivables

Receivables, which amounted to approximately $10.3 million and $10.5 million as of January 1, 2024, and 2023, respectively, represent amounts due to the Company from its clearing brokers, clients, financial institutions and other. Receivables consists of unconditional amounts due and are reported at amortized costs. All receivables are uncollateralized.

Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. The Company accounts for estimated credit losses on financial assets measured at an amortized cost basis and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326-20, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses. FASB ASC 326-20 requires the Company to estimate expected credit losses over the life of its financial assets and certain off-balance sheet exposures as of the reporting date based on relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company records the estimate of expected credit losses as an allowance for credit losses. For financial assets measured at an amortized cost basis the allowance for credit losses is reported as a valuation account on the statement of financial condition that adjusts the asset’s amortized cost basis. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are reported in credit loss expense, if applicable. Management believes its risk of loss on currently recorded receivables is minimal and accordingly an allowance for credit losses has been recorded as of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, and January 1, 2023 in the amount of $0.67 million, $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Table of Contents

2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment or if certain events occur indicating that the carrying amounts may be impaired. If a qualitative assessment is used and the Company determines that the fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of more than 50%) less than its carrying amount, a quantitative impairment test will be performed. An impairment loss will be recognized if a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, to the extent that it does not exceed the total carrying amount of goodwill. No impairment of goodwill was recognized for the periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Intangible assets that are deemed to have definite lives are amortized over their useful lives, generally ranging from 5 to 10 years. They are reviewed for impairment when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value.

There was no impairment of intangible assets recognized for the periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Income Taxes

For the periods prior to the Reverse Merger and Recapitalization, Wentworth was treated as a partnership for income tax purposes and therefore not subject to federal taxes. Wentworth was subject to certain state and local income taxes. Additionally, KWAC was treated as a corporation and subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes.

Subsequent to the Reverse Merger and Recapitalization, KWAC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings, is the parent company of Wentworth, which is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, Wentworth is itself generally not subject to U.S. federal income tax under current U.S. tax laws, and any taxable income or loss is passed through and included in the taxable income or loss of its members, including KWAC. KWAC is subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes, with respect to its distributive share of the items of the net taxable income or loss and any related tax credits of Wentworth. Additionally, Binah Capital Group, Inc., a corporation, is subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes.

KWAC, the PKSH Entities, Cabot Entities and WEG are taxable entities subject to federal, state, and local income taxes. Therefore, these consolidated financial statements include an income tax provision for the taxable entities only. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amount of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and net operating loss carryforwards.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company periodically evaluates deferred tax assets and net operating loss carryforwards to determine their recoverability based primarily on the Company’s ability to generate future taxable income. A valuation allowance may be established to reduce deferred tax assets, if it is more likely than not that all, or some portion, of such deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company accounts for taxes in accordance with the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, the Company must recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution.

Table of Contents

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Net Loss Per Share

Basic earnings per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to the Company by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the same period. Diluted net income per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to the Company by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive securities. Potential shares of common stock consist of incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants and conversion of the Company’s preferred stock. Net income (loss) per share is not presented for periods prior to the Merger as such amounts would not be meaningful to users of the financial statements because the equity structure materially changed in connection with the Merger.

Financial Instruments

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

As a result of the Reverse Recapitalization, the Company has issued and has outstanding warrants. The Company evaluates the warrants, to determine if such instruments should be considered stock-based compensation, pursuant to ASC Topic 718, and if not in the scope of ASC 718, if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC Topic 480 and ASC Topic 815. The determination of whether the instrument should be classified as stock-based compensation or a derivative instrument, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.

Warrants issued to non-employees (the “Non-employee Warrants”) were not classified as stock-based compensation as there is no condition of employment such that the granting of the shares does not represent compensation. The Non-employee Warrants are classified as derivative liabilities under ASC Topic 480 or ASC Topic 815. Public Warrants to non-employees are measured at fair value on recurring basis, using the market approach based upon the quoted market price of Binah Capital Group, Inc.’s Public Warrants at the end of each reporting period. Private Placement Warrants issued to non-employees are measured at fair value on a recurring basis based upon the quoted price for similar liabilities (Public Warrants issued to non-employees) in active markets as of the end of each period.

Contingent Liabilities

The Company recognizes liabilities for contingencies when there is an exposure that, when fully analyzed, indicates potential losses become probable and can be reasonably estimated. Whether a potential loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated is based on currently available information and is subject to significant judgment, a variety of assumptions and uncertainties.

When a potential loss is probable and the loss or range of loss can be estimated, the Company will accrue the most likely amount within that range. No liability is recognized for those matters which, in management’s judgment, the determination of a reasonable estimate of potential loss is not possible, or for which a potential loss is not determined to be probable.

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, and it thus may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

4.REVENUES FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

Revenues from contracts with customers are recognized when control of the promised services is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services. Revenues are analyzed to determine whether the Company is the principal (i.e., reports revenues on a gross basis) or agent (i.e., reports revenues on a net basis) in the contract. Principal or agent designations depend primarily on the control an entity has over the product or service before control is transferred to a customer. The indicators of which party exercises control include primary responsibility over performance obligations before the good or service is transferred and discretion in establishing the price.

Commissions

Commission revenues represent sales commissions generated by advisors for their clients’ purchases and sales of securities on exchanges and over-the-counter, as well as purchases of other investment products. The Company views the selling, distribution and marketing, or any combination thereof, of investment products to such clients as a single performance obligation to the product sponsors.

The Company is the principal for commission revenues, as it is responsible for the execution of the clients’ purchases and sales and maintains relationships with the product sponsors. Advisors assist the Company in performing its obligations. Accordingly, total commission revenues are reported on a gross basis.

Advisory Fees

Advisory fees represent fees charged to advisors’ clients’ accounts on the Company’s corporate advisory platform. The Company provides ongoing investment advice, brokerage and execution services on transactions, and performs administrative services for these accounts. This series of performance obligations transfers control of the services to the client over time as the services are performed. These revenues are recognized ratably over time to match the continued delivery of the performance obligations to the client over the life of the contract. The advisory revenues generated from the Company’s corporate advisory platform are based on a percentage of the market value of the eligible assets in the clients’ advisory accounts. As such, the consideration for these revenues is variable and an estimate of the variable consideration is constrained due to dependence on unpredictable market impacts on client portfolio values. The constraint is removed once the portfolio value can be determined.

The Company provides advisory services to clients on its corporate advisory platform through the advisor. The Company is the principal in these arrangements and recognizes advisory revenues on a gross basis, as the Company is responsible for satisfying the performance obligations and has control over determining the fees.

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of payment by the Company’s customers. The Company records a receivable when revenue is recognized prior to payment and there is an unconditional right to payment. The Company records a contract asset when the Company has recognized revenue prior to payment but the Company’s right to payment is conditional on something other than the passage of time. Alternatively, when payment precedes the provision of the related services, the Company records deferred revenues (a contract liability) until the performance obligations are satisfied. As of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company had receivables from contracts with customers totaling approximately $9.3 million and $8.9 million, respectively. The opening balance of receivables from contracts with customers was approximately $8.9 million and $8.6 million as of January 1, 2024, and January 1, 2023, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company had no liabilities from contracts with customers.

Interest and Other Income

The Company earns interest income from client margin accounts and cash equivalents This revenue is not generated from contracts with customers. Additionally, the Company receives marketing fees and sponsorship income.

5.FAIR VALUE

The Company defines fair value as 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. The standard establishes the following hierarchy used in fair value measurements and expands the required disclosures of assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

●

Level 1 - Inputs use quoted unadjusted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access.

●

Level 2 - Fair value measurements use other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets as well as other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

●

Level 3 - Inputs that are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related asset or liability. The inputs or methodology used for valuing assets and liabilities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those assets and liabilities.

Certain financial instruments are carried at cost on the statement of financial condition, which approximates fair value due to their short-term, highly liquid nature. The carrying value of debt approximates their fair value since the interest rates on these obligations represent current market rates.

6.DEBT

On April 2, 2020, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Oak Street Funding LLC (“Oak Street”) in the amount of $25 million. This note payable bears interest at the prime rate (“Prime”) (8.50% as of June 30, 2024) plus 2.25% and has a 10-year term and a 3-month interest only repayment provision. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the outstanding balance of the Oak Street note, net of unamortized debt issuance costs was $16.7 million and $17.6 million, respectively.

On April 25, 2021, the Company entered into an additional promissory note with Oak Street in the amount of $4.1 million related to the acquisition of WEG (“WEG Note”). This note payable bears interest at Prime plus 2.25% and has a 10-year term. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the outstanding balance of this note, net of unamortized debt issuance costs was $3.0 million and $3.2 million, respectively.

Under the Oak Street notes, the Company is subject to certain covenants as defined in the agreements. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all financial related covenants.

The minimum payments and maturities of the Oak Street notes as of June 30, 2024, are as follows (in thousands):


2024	$	1,220
2025		2,669
2026		2,993
2027		3,354
2028		3,757
Thereafter		6,306
Total	$	20,299

In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement with Oak Street providing for, among other things, consenting to the Business Combination, and the payoff and restructuring of certain debt obligations. Additionally, the rate of interest being charged will increase at rate of .15% per annum until the interest rate reaches a maximum of 15.00%, provided that in no event the interest rate will not be less than 10.75% (the “Floor”). Additionally, in connection with the amendment the Company has agreed to pay a fee equal to $0.14 million (the “Deferred Fee”), which is due and payable in the amounts of $0.025, which was paid on June 12, 2024 and $0.115, which is due and payable on August 12, 2024, respectively. If the obligations under this Credit Agreement are paid in full prior to August 12, 2024, the remaining deferred fee would be waived.

The interest on these notes continued to accrue until such time as these notes were paid or restructured.

Additionally, in connection with the acquisition of the PKSH Entities, Wentworth agreed to pay contingent consideration in the amount of $5.0 million to certain sellers. The conditions related to this contingency were met on November 30, 2018, and thus the notes had been issued to the sellers.

Class of Warrants		Number Outstanding
Public warrants		8,588,425
Private placement warrants		6,481,550
Total warrants outstanding		15,069,975

Each whole Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. A holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares of Class A common stock. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade. The Company may redeem the Public Warrants at a price of $0.01 per share if the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period. The Private Warrants cannot be redeemed, even if sold or transferred to a non-affiliate. The Warrants will expire five years after the Closing Date or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

Except as described in this section, the Private Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the Public Warrants, except the Private Warrants are not subject to redemption, and do not become subject to redemption after transfer to a non-affiliate (a distinction from other private placement warrants issued in connection with SPAC transactions).

11.INCOME TAXES

As a result of the Reverse Recapitalization, Binah Capital Group, Inc. is the parent company of KWAC, which is the parent company of Wentworth. KWAC is a corporation and subject to U.S. federal and certain state and local taxes. Wentworth is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

KWAC, the PKSH Entities, Cabot Entities and WEG are taxable entities and are subject to federal, state, and local income taxes. Therefore, these consolidated financial statements include an income tax provision for the taxable entities only.

The effective tax rate was approximately (15)% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The effective income tax rate for the period ended June 30, 2024 differed significantly from the statutory rate primarily due to transaction costs that were incurred as a result of the Reverse Recapitalization. The tax provision is related to the activities of the taxable entities including the PKSH Entities, Cabot Entities and WEG.

The Company files income tax returns, including returns for its subsidiaries, with federal and state jurisdictions. The Company is generally not subject to examinations for its federal and state returns for any periods prior to the 2019 tax year. The Company is not currently under examination for any tax years.

12.NET LOSS PER SHARE

The Series A Preferred Stock does not have similar economic rights to the common stock and management does not consider them to be in substance common shares for earnings per share (“EPS”) purposes. As a result, the weighted average Series A Preferred Stock outstanding during the period was not included in the calculation of weighted average common stock outstanding. The Public and Private Warrants were considered in diluted EPS under the treasury stock method, if dilutive.

Management determined that EPS was not presented for periods prior to the Merger as it was not considered to be meaningful.

The computation of loss per share and weighted average of the Company’s common stock outstanding for the period from the date of transaction close through June 30, 2024 is as follows (in thousands):


	Three months		Six Months
	ended June 30,		Ended June 30,
	2024		2024
Net (loss)	$	(657)	(2,970)
Basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding, common stock		16,573	16,573
Basic and diluted loss per share of common stock	$	(0.04)	(0.18)

The following table details the securities that have been excluded from the calculation of weighted-average shares for diluted earnings per share for the period presented as they were anti-dilutive (in thousands).

13.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company, or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed, unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.

There can be no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.

The Company is a defendant or respondent in various pending and threatened arbitrations, administrative proceedings and lawsuits seeking compensatory damages. Claim amounts are infrequently indicative of the actual amounts the Company will be liable for, if any. Many of these claimants also seek, in addition to compensatory damages, punitive or treble damages, and all seek interest, costs and fees. These matters arise in the normal course of business. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in these actions, and the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be determined at this time.

In many lawsuits, arbitrations, and regulatory proceedings, it is not possible to determine whether a liability has been incurred or to estimate the amount of that liability until the matter is close to resolution. However, accruals are reviewed regularly and are adjusted to reflect management’s estimates of the impact of developments, rulings, advice of counsel and any other information pertinent to a particular matter.

Because of the inherent difficulty in predicting the ultimate outcome of legal and regulatory actions, management cannot predict with certainty the eventual loss or range of loss related to such matters. The Company believes, based upon current information, that the outcome of any such legal proceeding, claim, dispute, or investigation will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, the actual outcomes of such legal proceedings, claims, disputes, or investigations could be material to the Company’s operating results and cash flows for a particular future period as additional information is obtained.

Indemnification

The activities of the Company’s customers are transacted on either a cash or margin basis through the facilities of its clearing broker. In margin transactions, the clearing broker extends credit to the customers, subject to various regulatory and margin requirements, collateralized by cash and securities in the customer’s account. In connection with these activities, the clearing broker may also execute and clear customer transactions involving the sale of securities not yet purchased.

These transactions may expose the Company to significant off-balance sheet risk in the event margin requirements are not sufficient to fully cover losses which the customers may incur. In the event the customers fail to satisfy their obligations to the clearing broker, the Company may be required to compensate the clearing broker for losses incurred on behalf of the customers.

The Company, through its clearing broker, seeks to control the risk associated with its customers’ activities by requiring customers to maintain margin collateral in compliance with various regulatory and internal guidelines.

As of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, management of the Company had not been notified by any clearing brokers, nor were they otherwise aware of any potential losses relating to this indemnification.

14.COMMON STOCK, PREFERRED STOCK AND STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

The Company is authorized to issue 57,000,000 shares consisting of the following:

●

2,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, 1,519,500 shares issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2024; and

●

55,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, 16,602,460 shares issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2024.

15.NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Company operates four registered broker-dealers that are subject to the SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1). This requires the Company to maintain certain minimum net capital requirements. As of and for the periods ended June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, all broker-dealers had net capital in excess of the required minimums.

16.CREDIT RISK AND CONCENTRATIONS

Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of receivables and cash and cash equivalents. The Company performs certain credit evaluation procedures and does not require collateral for financial instruments subject to credit risk. The Company believes that credit risk is limited because the Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its counterparties and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of its counterparties, establishes an allowance for uncollectible accounts and, consequently, believes that its receivables credit risk exposure beyond such allowances is limited.

17.SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluated subsequent events that occurred after the balance sheet date up to August 14, 2024.

Key Performance Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We focus on several key metrics in evaluating the success of our business relationships and our resulting financial position and operating performance. Our key metrics of Gross Profit and EBITDA are “non-GAAP financial measures.” Our management periodically uses certain “non-GAAP financial measures,” as such term is defined under the rules of the SEC, to supplement our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and to clarify and enhance understanding of past performance and prospects for the future. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s operating performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes or includes amounts that are included in or excluded from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures of Gross Profit and EBITDA provide investors and analysts useful insight into our financial position and operating performance. Any non-GAAP measure provided should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to, the most directly comparable measure determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Further, the calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the calculation of similarly titled financial measures presented by other companies and therefore may not be comparable among companies.

Gross profit is defined as total revenue less commissions paid to financial advisors and registered representatives and other fees that generate the revenue. We consider our gross profit amounts to be non-GAAP financial measures that may not be comparable to those of others in our industry. We believe that gross profit amounts can provide investors with useful insight into our core operating performance before other costs that are general and administrative in nature.

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as net income plus interest expense, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. The Company presents EBITDA because management believes that it can be a useful financial metric in understanding the Company’s earnings from operations. EBITDA is not a measure of the Company’s financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP.

A reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures appears below in the footnotes to the table of our key operating, business and financial metrics.

Our key operating, business and financial metrics are as follows:

Economic Overview and Impact of Financial Market Events

Our business is directly and indirectly sensitive to several macroeconomic factors and the state of the United States financial markets.

According to the most recent estimate from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, the U.S. economy grew at an annualized pace of 2.8% in the second quarter of 2024, after growing at an annualized pace of 1.6% in the first quarter of this year. Although inflation, rising interest rates and volatile global markets were all headwinds the U.S. economy added roughly 503,000 jobs in the second quarter of 2024, while the unemployment rate averaged 4.0% in the second quarter of 2024, up slightly from the average in the prior quarter.

Our business is also sensitive to current and expected short-term interest rates, which are largely driven by Fed policy. During the second quarter of 2024, Fed policymakers maintained the target range for the federal funds rate from 5.25% to 5.50%. The equity markets rebounded resulting in the S&P 500 returning 4.3% during the second quarter of 2024.

Revenues

Wentworth’s primary source of revenue is from fees and commissions from products and advisory services offered by our advisors to their clients, a substantial portion of which we pay out to our advisors. We also generate interest income in accordance with our agreements with our clearing partners. In accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, we record revenue when control of the promised services is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services. Revenues are analyzed to determine whether the Company is the principal (i.e., reports revenues on a gross basis) or agent (i.e., reports revenues on a net basis) in the contract. Principal or agent designations depend primarily on the control an entity has over the product or service before control is transferred to a customer. The indicators of which party exercises control include primary responsibility over performance obligations, inventory risk before the good or service is transferred and discretion in establishing the price.

Commissions

Table of Contents

The Company generates two types of commission revenues: sales-based commissions that are recognized at the point of sale on the trade date and trailing commissions that are recognized over time as earned. Sales-based commission revenues vary by investment product and are recognized on the trade date or the transaction date, which represents the completion of the Company’s performance obligation because that is when the underlying financial instrument or purchaser is identified, the pricing is agreed upon, and the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to/from the customer at a point in time. The rates at which commissions are charged to the customers range from 1% to 7% based on the investment product. Trailing commission revenues which are preliminarily related to the sales of mutual funds and variable annuities held by clients of the Company’s advisors are generally based on a percentage of the current market value of clients’ investment holdings in trail-eligible assets, and are recognized over the time the client owns the investment or holds the contract and is generally based on a fixed rate applied, generally twenty-five to fifty basis points (25-50 bps) of the current market value of the clients’ holdings. Trailing commissions are generally received monthly or quarterly. The ongoing revenue is not recognized at the time of sale because it is variably constrained due to factors outside the Company’s control including market volatility and the client’s investment hold period and the Company does not believe that it can overcome such constraints until the market value of the fund and the investor activities are known. The revenues will not be recognized until it is probable that a significant reversal will not occur.

The Company is principal for the commission revenue, as it is responsible for the execution of the clients’ purchases and sales and maintains relationships with the product sponsors. Advisors assist the Company in performing it obligations. Accordingly, total commission revenue is reported on a gross basis. See Note 4 - Revenues From Contracts with Customers within the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024, and 2023 for further details regarding our commission revenue by product category.

The following tables sets forth the components of our commission revenue for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):


	For the three-month period ended June 30,
	2024		2023		$Change	% Change
Sales-based	$	15,850	$	21,964	(6,214)	(28)	%
Trailing		17,813		11,358	6,456	57	%
Total commission revenue	$	33,663	$	33,322	242	1	%


	For the six-month period ended June 30,
	2024			2023	$Change	% Change
Sales-based	$	31,617	$	37,245	(5,628)	(15)	%
Trailing		36,441		31,398	5,043	16	%
Total commission revenue	$	68,057	$	68,643	(585)	(1)	%

Sales-based revenue decreased by approximately $6.2 million and $5.6 million or 28% and 15% for the three and six-month period ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to 2023. Trailing based revenue increased by approximately $6.4 million and $5.0 million or 57% and 16% for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to 2023. The decrease in sales-based revenue for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 as compared to 2023 is attributable to a decrease in the generation of transactional based products. The increase in the trailing based revenues is primarily due to the net increase in trailing based assets and increase in the market performance Commission revenue is generated from brokerage assets. The following tables summarize the brokerage assets for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 (in billions):

Interest and other income

Interest income includes amounts earned on balances held at the Company’s clearing brokers related to cash balances and margin balances. The Company’s clearing agreements include provisions that provide for a sharing of the interest income earned on such balances with the clearing brokers. The rate varies based on the clearing broker.

Other income primarily includes amounts earned by the Company related to marketing and incentives earned from the sales of certain investment products by the financial advisors to its clients, primarily alternative investments, as well as sponsorship income.

The decrease in interest and other income for the period ended June 30, 2024, compared to 2023 is primarily related to a non-recurring income item that was earned in March 2023.

Operating Expenses

Commissions and Fees

Commissions and fees primarily consist of commissions paid to the financial advisors, technology costs associated with the platform for which the financial advisors operate their business, insurance costs and regulatory costs. Certain of the technology, insurance and regulatory costs are passed through to the financial advisors and any excess costs are included as fees within commissions and fees. The commissions and fees paid to the financial advisors are based on the advisory and commission revenue earned on each client’s account. The payout amount is production based, which is the gross revenue produced by the financial advisor, and varies based on the level of such production ranging from 50% to 95% of the revenue generated. The production levels begin at gross revenue of $15,000 up to $4,000,000 and up, and the payout rate starts at 50% and increases to a top payout rate of 94% for annual production of $4,000,000 and up.

The following table sets forth our payout rate, which is a statistical or operating measure and monitored to review that such costs of revenue remain consistent on a period over period basis:

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Although these estimates are based on the Company’s knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future, actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

We define our critical accounting policies and estimates as those that require us to make subjective judgments about matters that are uncertain and are likely to have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations as well as the specific manner in which we apply those principles. We believe the critical accounting policies used in the preparation of our financial statements which require significant estimates and judgments are as follows:

Revenue Recognition

Revenues from contracts with customers are recognized when control of the promised services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services. Management exercises judgment in determining whether the Company is the principal (i.e., reports revenues on a gross basis) or agent (i.e., reports revenue on a net basis). For additional information see Note 4 in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six-months periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and other intangible assets are tested annually for impairment or if certain events occur indicating that the carrying amounts may be impaired. We have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, we determine it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is not required. However, if we conclude otherwise, we are then required to perform the first step of the two-step impairment test. Goodwill impairment is determined by comparing the estimated fair value of a reporting unit with its respective carrying value. If the estimated fair value exceeds the carrying value, goodwill at the reporting unit level is not deemed to be impaired. If the estimated fair value is below carrying value, however, further analysis is required to determine the amount of the impairment. Additionally, if the carrying value of a reporting unit is zero or a negative value and it is determined that it is more likely than not the goodwill is impaired, further analysis is required. The estimated fair values of the reporting units are derived based on valuation techniques we believe market participants would use for each of the reporting units.

We performed our goodwill impairment test as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022. The estimated fair value of the reporting units were determined using the market approach for each reporting unit, relying specifically on the guideline public company method. Our guideline public company method incorporates revenue and earnings multiples from publicly traded companies with operations and other characteristics similar to each reporting unit. As a result of the 2023 and 2022 annual impairment tests, the fair value of the reporting units was 257% and 266% greater than its carrying value, respectively. Since there have been no events or circumstances which indicated that it was more likely than not the fair value of the reporting units were below their carrying amount, interim goodwill tests were not considered necessary.

The goodwill impairment test requires us to make judgments in determining what assumptions to use in the calculation. Assumptions, judgments, and estimates about future cash flows and discount rates are complex and often subjective. They can be affected by a variety of factors, including, among others, economic trends and market conditions, changes in revenue growth trends or business strategies, unanticipated competition, discount rates, technology, or government regulations. In assessing the fair value of our reporting units, the volatile nature of the securities markets and industry requires us to consider the business and market cycle and assess the stage of the cycle in estimating the timing and extent of future cash flows. In addition to discounted cash flows, we consider other information, such as public market comparable and multiples of recent mergers and acquisitions of similar businesses. Although we believe the assumptions, judgments, and estimates we have made in the past have been reasonable and appropriate, different assumptions, judgments, and estimates could materially affect our reported financial results.

On August 14, 2024, Binah Capital Group, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an executive employment agreement with Craig Gould, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The Gould Agreement is for an initial, five-year term which will automatically renew for additional, consecutive three-year terms unless either party provides the other party with 90 days’ notice of the intent not to renew prior to the expiration of the applicable term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mr. Gould’s employment is “at-will”, and the Gould Agreement may be terminated at any time, by either party, with or without Cause (as defined below) or advance notice.

Mr. Gould’s 2024 annual base salary is $600,000. In addition, the Company may provide Mr. Gould a discretionary year-end performance-based bonus which will not be less than the bonus paid to any other executive of the Company. Mr. Gould’s performance and the Company’s performance are to be primary considerations in determining any such annual bonus, which is subject to his continuous employment December 31 of the relevant bonus year, with such bonus payable no later than March 31 of the year following the relevant bonus year.

No later than September 15, 2024, the Company will grant Mr. Gould nonqualified stock options to purchase 600,000 shares of common stock of the Company, subject to any reasonable capitalization adjustments before the date of grant, under the terms of the Company’s 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, as may be amended from time to time (the “Plan”). These initial options will be exercisable for a period of ten (10) years, subject to earlier termination in accordance with the option agreement and Plan. The exercise price of these initial options will be equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common Stock on the date of grant. The vesting schedule of these initial options will be as follows: (a) one-third of the Initial Options will vest on December 31, 2024, based on continued service through such date; and (b) two-thirds of the Initial Options will vest ratably on a monthly basis over the remainder of Mr. Gould’s initial term based on continued service through each vesting date, with the first such vesting date being on January 31, 2025. The Initial Options will accelerate and be deemed vested in full upon a Change in Control as defined in the Plan.

On each anniversary of the Closing or May 15, 2024, the Company will grant Mr. Gould nonqualified stock options to purchase that number of shares of common stock of the Company which have a grant date fair value equal to his then annual base salary amount, as reasonably determined by the Board, under the terms of the Plan. These additional options will be exercisable for a period of ten (10) years, subject to earlier termination in accordance with the option agreement and Plan. The exercise price of these additional options will be equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common Stock on the date of grant.
