4.	Revenue Recognition

On January 1, 2018, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 by applying the modified retrospective method. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the prior period.

The adoption of FASB ASC Topic 606 did not have an impact on the recognition of our primary sources of revenue such as principal transactions, commissions and fees, as well as margin interest, marketing and distribution fees. The timing of recognition of substantially all of our remaining revenue was also not impacted, and we therefore did not record any cumulative effect adjustment to opening equity.

Principal transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis and primarily represent riskless principal transactions in which the Company, after receiving an order, buys or sells securities as principal and at the same time buys or sells the securities with a markup or markdown to complete the order.

Commission and fees, margin interest, marketing and distribution fees, and related clearing expenses are recorded on a trade-date basis. Fees, consisting primarily of revenue participation with the Company’s clearing brokers in distribution fees and interest, are recorded as earned.

Advisory fees are earned typically on a quarterly basis in accordance with the terms of the client agreements.

Interest is recorded on the accrual basis.
