WOODSTOCK FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
Notes to Financial Statements
(1) Organization
Woodstock Financial Group, Inc. (the "Company") is a full service
securities brokerage firm, which has been in business since 1995.
During 2006, the Company changed its name from Raike Financial
Group, Inc. to Woodstock Financial Group, Inc. The Company is
registered as a broker-dealer with the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority ("FINRA") in 49 states, Puerto Rico, Washington D.C. and
also as a municipal securities dealer with the Municipal Securities
Regulation Board ("MSRB"). The Company is subject to net capital
and other regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC"). The Company offers full service commission and fee-based
money management services to individual and institutional investors.
The Company maintains a custody-clearing relationship with Southwest
Securities, Inc. In 2005, the Company, as a registered investment
advisor, created a managed account program named "RFG Stars".
Through the RFG Stars Program, the Company provides investment
advisory services to clients. All RFG Stars Program client accounts
are maintained with Fidelity Registered Investment Advisor Group
("FRIAG"), an arm of Fidelity Investments. FRIAG provides
brokerage, custody, and clearing services to RFG Stars Program
clients.
The interim financial statements included herein are unaudited but
reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and
results of operations for the interim period presented. All such
adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of
operations for the period ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily
indicative of the results of a full year's operations.
The accounting principles followed by the Company and the methods of
applying these principles conform with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). In
preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management
is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts in the financial statements. Actual results could
differ significantly from those estimates.
(2) Stock-Based Compensation
The Company sponsors a stock-based incentive compensation plan for
the benefit of certain employees.
The Company did not grant any options during the first quarter of
2008 and did not recognize any related expense during the period.
During July 2007, the Company granted a total of 2,257,000 options
to certain brokers with a strike price of $.01 where the market
value of the Company's stock was $.15 per share at the time of
grant. These options vested immediately, and the Company recognized
expense related to these options of $338,550. The fair value of
these options, using the Black-Scholes pricing model was $.15 per
share.
(3) Fair Value
On January 1, 2008, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards
Board ("FASB") Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157
(SFAS No. 157), "Fair Value Measurements"(SFAS 157). SFAS 157
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value
in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands the
disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement is
effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that
begins after November 15, 2007. The Company elected not to adopt the
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159 (SFAS No. 159),
Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.
-6-
WOODSTOCK FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
Notes to Financial Statements, continued
(3) Fair Value, continued
Fair Value Hierarchy
Under SFAS 157, the Company values assets and liabilities recorded
or disclosed at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in
which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of
the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:
Level 1 Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical
instruments traded in active markets.
Level 2 Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar
instruments in active markets, quoted prices for
identical or similar instruments in markets that
are not active, and model-based valuation techniques
for which all significant assumptions are observable
in the market.
Level 3 Valuation is generated from model-based techniques
that use at least one significant assumption not
observable in the market. These unobservable
assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that
market participants would use in pricing the asset
or liability. Valuation techniques include use of
option pricing models, discounted cash flow models
and similar techniques.
|
Because the Company has no assets or liabilities recorded or
disclosed based on their fair values, the adoption of SFAS No 157
had no impact on the Company's financial statements as of March 31,
2008.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 and 2007
OVERVIEW
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
Financial Statements of the Company and the Notes thereto appearing
elsewhere herein.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The following is our discussion and analysis of certain significant
factors that have affected our financial position and operating
results during the periods included in the accompanying financial
statements. This commentary should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and the related notes and the other statistical
information included in this report.
This report contains "forward-looking statements" relating to,
without limitation, future economic performance, plans and
objectives of management for future operations, and projections of
revenues and other financial items that are based on the beliefs of
management, as well as assumptions made by and information currently
available to management. The words "may," "will," "anticipate,"
"should," "would," "believe," "contemplate," "expect," "estimate,"
"continue," and "intend," as well as other similar words and
expressions of the future, are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. Our actual results may differ materially from the
results discussed in the forward-looking statements, and our
operating performance each quarter is subject to various risks and
uncertainties that are discussed in detail in our filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, including, without limitation:
* significant increases in competitive pressure in the financial
services industries;
* changes in political conditions or the legislative or
regulatory environment;
* general economic conditions, either nationally or regionally
and especially in our primary service area, becoming less
favorable than expected;
* changes occurring in business conditions and inflation;
* changes in technology;
* changes in monetary and tax policies;
* changes in the securities markets; and
* other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in our
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
OVERVIEW AND GENERAL INDUSTRY CONDITIONS
Our primary sources of revenue are commissions earned from brokerage
services. Our principal business activities are, by their nature,
affected by many factors, including general economic and financial
conditions, movement of interest rates, security valuations in the
marketplace, regulatory changes, competitive conditions, transaction
volume and market liquidity. Consequently, brokerage commission
revenue and investment banking fees can be volatile. While we seek
to maintain cost controls, a significant portion of our expenses is
fixed and does not vary with market activity. As a result,
substantial fluctuations can occur in our revenue and net income
from period to period.
The Company is a licensed insurance broker and we receive commission
revenue as a result of our insurance operations. The Company
continues to grow this business; however does not regard insurance
revenue as material at this time.

WOODSTOCK FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, continued
For the Quarters Ended March 31, 2008 and 2007
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - QUARTERS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008 AND 2007
Total revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 increased by
$160,906 or by 8% to $2,099,447 from $1,938,541 for the comparable
period in 2007.
Commission revenue increased by $188,803 or 11% to $1,860,494 from
$1,671,691 for the comparable period in 2007. This increase was
principally due to an increase in insurance and mutual fund business
in the first quarter of 2008.
Interest income decreased by $65,177 or 61% during the quarter ended
March 31, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. This decrease
in interest earned from margin accounts and customer accounts held
by our clearing agent is due primarily to a decrease in the
Company's marginal rate received on these accounts and the overall
declining short-term rates in the market place.
Fees from clearing transaction charges and other income increased by
$37,280 or 24% for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 compared to the
same period in 2007. This increase is also due to the increase in
transactional fees.
Total operating expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2008
increased by $75,335 or 4% to $2,118,458 from $2,043,123 for the
same period in 2007. The increased expense was due primarily to the
increase in commissions paid to brokers, which is due to an increase
in transactional business. This increase was partially offset by a
decrease in clearing costs.
Commissions to brokers increased by $90,284 or 6% to $1,560,199 for
the quarter ended March 31, 2008 from $1,469,915 in the prior year.
This increase coincides with the increase in commission revenue
during the quarter.
Clearing costs decreased by $22,680 or 35% to $41,625 for the
quarter ended March 31, 2008 from $64,305 in the prior year. As a
percentage of commission income clearing costs were 2.2% in 2008
compared to 3.8% in 2007. This decrease is due to the change in
the mix of commissions, with an increase in commissions primarily
from the insurance business.
Selling, general and administrative expense increased $11,856 or 2%
to $516,634 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 from $504,778 in
the prior year. This slight increase was due to primarily increases
in salaries, consultant fees, legal and professional fees, and
marketing.
Net loss was $19,011 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 compared
to net loss of $104,582 for the comparable period in prior year.
-9-
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our assets are reasonably liquid with a substantial majority
consisting of cash and cash equivalents, and receivables from other
broker-dealers and our clearing agent, all of which fluctuate
depending upon the levels of customer business and trading activity.
Receivables from broker-dealers and our clearing agent turn over
rapidly. Both our total assets as well as the individual components
as a percentage of total assets may vary significantly from period
to period because of changes relating to customer demand, economic,
market conditions and proprietary trading strategies. Our total net
assets at March 31, 2008 were $1,490,438 of which $1,057,542 is
cash.
As a broker-dealer, we are subject to the Securities and Exchange
Commission Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule15c3-1). The Rule requires
maintenance of minimum net capital and that we maintain a ratio of
aggregate indebtedness (as defined) to net capital (as defined) not
to exceed 15 to 1. Our minimum net capital requirement is $100,000.
Under the Rule we are subject to certain restrictions on the use of
capital and its related liquidity. Our net capital position at
March 31, 2008 was $1,228,375 and our ratio of aggregate
indebtedness to net capital was .35 to 1.
Historically, we have financed our operations through cash flow from
operations and the private placement of equity securities. We have
not employed any significant leverage or debt to fund operating
needs.
We believe that our capital structure is adequate for our current
operations. We continually review our overall capital and funding
needs to ensure that our capital base can support the estimated
needs of the business. These reviews take into account business
needs as well as the Company's regulatory capital requirements.
Based upon these reviews, to take advantage of strong market
conditions and to fully implement our expansion strategy, we will
continue to pursue avenues to decrease costs and increase our
capital position.
The Company's cash and cash equivalents decreased by $61,000 to
$1,057,542 as of March 31, 2008, from $1,118,542 as of December 31,
2007. This overall decrease was due to net cash used by operating
activities of $25,649, cash used in investing activities of $1,712,
and cash used by financing activities of $33,640.
EFFECTS OF INFLATION AND OTHER ECONOMIC FACTORS
Market prices of securities are generally influenced by changes in
rates of inflation, changes in interest rates and economic activity
generally. Our revenues and net income are, in turn, principally
affected by changes in market prices and levels of market activity.
Moreover, the rate of inflation affects our expenses, such as
employee compensation, occupancy expenses and communications costs,
which may not be readily recoverable in the prices of services
offered to our customers. To the extent inflation, interest rates
or levels of economic activity adversely affect market prices of
securities, our financial condition and results of operations will
also be adversely affected.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not Applicable
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out
an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of
our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls
and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based
upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer have concluded that our current disclosure
controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to
material information relating to the Company that is required to be
included in the Company's periodic filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. There have been no significant changes in the
Company's internal controls over financial reporting during the
quarter ended March 31, 2008 that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal
control over financial reporting.
-10-
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Currently, the Company has no pending claims by retail customers. We
are the subject of routine examinations by self regulatory
organizations including the SEC, FINRA and individual states and are
not aware of any regulatory examinations at this time that would
have a material impact on the company's financial position.
