Item 11 Disclosure Information
In this Item, we ask for information about your disciplinary history and the disciplinary history of all your advisory affiliates. We use this information to
determine whether to grant your application for registration, to decide whether to revoke your registration or to place limitations on your activities as an
investment adviser, and to identify potential problem areas to focus on during our on-site examinations. One event may result in "yes" answers to more than
one of the questions below. In accordance with General Instruction 5 to Form ADV, "you" and "your" include the filing adviser and all relying advisers under an
umbrella registration.
Your advisory affiliates are: (1) all of your current employees (other than employees performing only clerical, administrative, support or similar functions); (2) all

If you are registered or registering with the SEC or if you are an exempt reporting adviser, you may limit your disclosure of any event listed in Item 11 to ten years
following the date of the event. If you are registered or registering with a state, you must respond to the questions as posed; you may, therefore, limit your
disclosure to ten years following the date of an event only in responding to Items 11.A.(1), 11.A.(2), 11.B.(1), 11.B.(2), 11.D.(4), and 11.H.(1)(a). For purposes of

Item 12 Small Businesses
The SEC is required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act to consider the effect of its regulations on small entities. In order to do this, we need to determine
whether you meet the definition of "small business" or "small organization" under rule 0-7.
Answer this Item 12 only if you are registered or registering with the SEC and you indicated in response to Item 5.F.(2)(c) that you have regulatory assets
under management of less than $25 million. You are not required to answer this Item 12 if you are filing for initial registration as a state adviser, amending a
current state registration, or switching from SEC to state registration.
For purposes of this Item 12 only:
Total Assets refers to the total assets of a firm, rather than the assets managed on behalf of clients. In determining your or another person's total
assets, you may use the total assets shown on a current balance sheet (but use total assets reported on a consolidated balance sheet with
subsidiaries included, if that amount is larger).
Control means the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of a person, whether through ownership of securities, by
contract, or otherwise. Any person that directly or indirectly has the right to vote 25 percent or more of the voting securities, or is entitled to 25 percent
or more of the profits, of another person is presumed to control the other person.
Yes No

AFTER EXECUTION, APPROXIMATELY 61% OF ALL TRANSACTIONS THAT JH DARBIE HAD AN OBLIGATION TO ACCEPT OR DECLINE IN ACT, AS THE OEID
DURING THE REVIEW PERIOD. THESE TRANSACTIONS REFLECT LESS THEN 3% OF ALL JH DARBIE'S TRANSACTIONS DURING THE PERIOD COVERED. THE
LATE TRADE REPORTING VIOLATION ABSOLUTLY HAS NO EFFECT ON THE ACTUAL TRADE EXECUTION PRICES (ALL TRADES ARE REPORTED BY THE
CONTRA FIRM AND WE HAVE TO MANUALLY ACCEPT CERTAIN TRADES). JH DARBIE MAKES EVERY ATTEMPT TO EXECUTE TRADES THROUGH THE
AUTOLOCK SYSTEM (THUS ELIMINATING ANY MANUAL REPORTING). OCCASSIONALLY, IT IS NECESSARY FOR JDRB TO MANUALLY ACCEPT OR DECLINE
TRADES SO THAT A SMALL NUMBER OF TRADES MAY NOT BE TIMELY REPORTED. ADDITIONALLY,THIS VIOLATION WAS PART OF A REVIEW OF THE SAME
FINDINGS OF A PREVIOUS VIOLATION THAT THE NASD DECIDED TO SPLIT INTO TWO AUDITED PERIODS THUS RESULTING IN A SECOND FINE. ONCE THE
FIRM WAS AWARE OF THE MINOR VIOLATION THE FIRM IMMEDIATLY TOOK CORRECTIVE ACTIONS TO CHANGE OUR PROCEDURES.

WITHOUT ADMITTING OR DENYING THE FINDINGS, THE FIRM CONSENTED TO THE SANCTIONS AND TO THE ENTRY OF FINDINGS THAT IT FACILITATED
THE SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES IN TRANSACTIONS NOT SUBJECT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS, IN
CONTRAVENTION OF SECTION 5 OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. THE FINDINGS STATED THAT A FIRM REGISTERED REPRESENTATIVE, AND THE FIRM
EFFECTED THE SALE OF 2.2 BILLION SHARES OF MICROCAP ISSUERS THAT WERE THINLY TRADED AND REPORTED NO REVENUES OR NEGATIVE
REVENUES. NO REGISTRATION STATEMENT HAD BEEN FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (SEC) OR WAS IN EFFECT FOR THE
SALES, AND THE SALES TRANSACTIONS WERE NOT EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION WITH THE SEC. THE FIRM FAILED TO CONDUCT A REASONABLE
INQUIRY INTO THE TRANSACTIONS DESPITE RED FLAGS INDICATING THAT THESE CUSTOMERS WERE RELATED AND WERE ENGAGING IN UNREGISTERED
SECURITIES DISTRIBUTIONS. THE FINDINGS ALSO STATED THAT THE FIRM FAILED TO ESTABLISH, MAINTAIN, AND ENFORCE A SUPERVISORY SYSTEM
REASONABLY DESIGNED TO ACHIEVE COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 5. THE FIRM FAILED TO ENSURE REASONABLY THAT ADEQUATE DUE DILIGENCE WAS
CONDUCTED BEFORE EXECUTING SALES IN MICROCAP STOCKS TO VERIFY THAT THE TRANSACTIONS WERE REGISTERED OR EXEMPT FROM
REGISTRATION. THE FIRM ALSO LACKED AN ADEQUATE SYSTEM FOR THE REVIEW AND AGGREGATION OF SECURITIES HELD BY RELATED CUSTOMERS TO
DETERMINE WHETHER THE CUSTOMERS WERE IN A CONTROL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE ISSUER AND SUBJECT TO VOLUME LIMITATIONS ON RE-SALES.
CONSEQUENTLY, THE FIRM FAILED TO CONDUCT REASONABLE INQUIRIES SURROUNDING THE SALES OF CERTAIN SUCH STOCKS AND FAILED TO
AGGREGATE SECURITIES HOLDINGS AMONG RELATED ACCOUNTS, ENTITIES AND ACCOUNT HOLDERS. THE FINDINGS ALSO INCLUDED THAT THE FIRM
FAILED TO DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT AN ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING (AML) PROGRAM REASONABLY DESIGNED TO ACHIEVE COMPLIANCE WITH THE
BANK SECRECY ACT AND ITS IMPLEMENTING REGULATIONS TO DETECT AND CAUSE THE REPORTING OF SUSPICIOUS TRANSACTIONS. FINRA FOUND
THAT THE FIRM FAILED TO CONDUCT INDEPENDENT AML TESTS AND ITS TESTS WERE INADEQUATE AS THEY FAILED TO ADDRESS ITS LOW-PRICED
SECURITY DEPOSIT AND LIQUIDATION BUSINESS. IN ADDITION, FINRA DETERMINED THAT THE FIRM FAILED TO SUPERVISE ADEQUATELY A REGISTERED
