Note 1 – Description of Business

Overview

Freedom Holding Corp. is a Nevada corporation (“FRHC”). In 2015, FRHC entered into a Share Exchange and Acquisition Agreement with Timur Turlov (the “Acquisition Agreement”) to acquire several businesses owned by Timur Turlov in exchange for controlling interest in FRHC. As the acquisitions are completed these businesses have become operating subsidiaries of FRHC. FRHC is building an international brokerage, banking, and financial services firm to meet the demand of a growing number of investors in Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Kyrgyzstan and Cyprus that desire financial services integration and greater access to the financial opportunities, relative stability, and integrity of the U.S. securities markets.

Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, FRHC acquired FFIN Securities, Inc., a Nevada corporation, (“FFIN”) from Timur Turlov and controlling interest in FRHC was transferred to him. FFIN was established to create or acquire a registered broker-dealer in the United States. At the same time, FRHC began upgrading the financial reporting capabilities of its foreign acquisition candidates to meet the regulatory standards imposed upon FRHC as an SEC registrant and pursuing the governmental approvals to permit FRHC ownership of the acquisition candidates.

In June 2017, FRHC closed the acquisition of LLC Investment Company Freedom Finance, a Russian limited liability company (“Freedom RU”) as a wholly owned subsidiary. This acquisition included the acquisition of three wholly owned operating subsidiaries of Freedom RU, including JSC Freedom Finance, a Kazakhstan joint stock company (“Freedom KZ”), LLC First Stock Store, a Russian limited liability company (“Freedom 24”) and LLC FFIN Bank, a Russian limited liability company (“FFIN Bank”). Freedom RU also maintains a representative office in Kazakhstan, referred to herein as “KZ Branch.”

(All amounts in thousands of United States dollars, unless otherwise stated)

On November 1, 2017, FRHC received notification from the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (“CySEC”) that it had granted final regulatory approval to allow Timur Turlov to transfer ownership of Freedom CY and the securities brokerage and financial services business conducted by it in Cyprus to FRHC. Receipt of CySEC approval was the final condition necessary to close the acquisition of Freedom CY and the parties closed the acquisition of Freedom CY on November 10, 2017. In exchange for his 100% equity interest in Freedom CY and the securities brokerage and financial services business conducted by it in Cyprus, Mr Turlov was issued 12,758,011 shares of FRHC common stock at the closing of the acquisition and Freedom CY became a wholly owned subsidiary of FRHC.

On November 1, 2017, FRHC entered into a Share Exchange and Acquisition Agreement with BusinessTrain Ltd. to acquire 100% of the outstanding equity interest of LLC Freedom Finance Ukraine, a Ukrainian limited liability company, formerly known as FC Ukranet LLC, (“Freedom UA”) and the securities brokerage business conducted by it in Ukraine in exchange for 387,700 shares of restricted common stock of FRHC. Completion of the acquisition required approval of the National Securities and Stock Market Commission of Ukraine, which was received on January 30, 2018.

Freedom RU provides brokerage and financial services in the capital markets in Russia, including maintaining customer accounts, managing investment portfolios, providing financial consulting and engaging in market making activities. Freedom KZ is licensed to provide brokerage and financial services in the capital markets of Kazakhstan, including the right to maintain customer accounts, manage investment portfolios, provide financial consulting, provide underwriting services and engage in market making activities. We formed Freedom 24, as a startup to build and manage the first online securities marketplace for retail customers in Russia. Freedom 24 attracts new brokerage clients to Freedom RU through a proprietary platform and internet portal for individual investors in Russia to establish a brokerage account and buy securities. FFIN Bank is licensed to engage in consumer banking operations in the Russian Federation and focuses on provided banking services to the customers of the Company’s subsidiaries. Freedom CY is licensed in Cyprus to provide brokerage and financial services in Cyprus including receiving, transmitting and executing customer orders, establishing custodial accounts, engaging in foreign currency exchange services and margin lending, and trading its own investment portfolio. Freedom UA is licensed to provide securities brokerage and depository services in Ukraine.

Unless otherwise specifically indicated or as is otherwise contextually required, FRHC, FFIN, Freedom RU, Freedom KZ, FFIN Bank, Freedom CY, Freedom UA, Freedom 24 and KZ Branch are collectively referred to herein as the “Company”.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Accounting principles

The Company’s accounting policies and accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP).

These financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

FREEDOM HOLDING CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(All amounts in thousands of United States dollars, unless otherwise stated)

Basis of presentation

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements present the consolidated accounts of FRHC, FFIN, Freedom RU, Freedom KZ, Freedom 24, FFIN Bank, Freedom CY, Freedom UA and KZ Branch. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated from the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management of the Company, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2017, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on June 30, 2017. The condensed consolidated financial information as of March 31, 2017, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements not included herein. Operating results for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2018.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing its financial statements are reasonable and prudent. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue and expense recognition

The Company earns interest and noninterest income from its proprietary trading accounts from various sources, including:

●

Securities, derivatives and foreign exchange activities;

●

Reverse repurchase agreements; and

●

Bank deposits.

FREEDOM HOLDING CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(All amounts in thousands of United States dollars, unless otherwise stated)

Revenue earned on interest-earning assets, including unearned income and the amortization/ accretion of premiums or discounts recognized on debt securities, bank deposits and loans issued is recognized based on the constant effective yield of the financial instrument or based on other applicable accounting guidance.

Gains and losses on the sale of securities and certain derivatives are recognized on a trade-date basis.

The Company earns fees and commissions from its customers from:

●

Providing brokerage services;

●

Providing banking services (money transfers, foreign exchange operations and other); and

●

Agency fees.

The Company also earns revenues from investment banking, underwriting, market making, and bondholders’ representation services.

Service charges on brokerage, banking, agency, investment banking and market making services, are recognized when earned. Brokerage fees are recognized on a trade-date basis.

The Company recognizes revenue when four basic criteria have been met:

●

Existence of persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists;

●

Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered;

●

The seller’s price to the buyer is fixed and determinable; and

●

Collectability is reasonably assured.

Derivative financial instruments

In the normal course of business, the Company invests in various derivative financial contracts including futures. Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured to their fair value at each reporting date. The fair values are estimated based on quoted market prices or pricing models that take into account the current market and contractual prices of the underlying instruments and other factors. Derivatives are carried as assets when their fair value is positive and as liabilities when it is negative. Derivatives are included in assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

FREEDOM HOLDING CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(All amounts in thousands of United States dollars, unless otherwise stated)

The Company purchases foreign currency futures contracts from financial institutions to minimize the risk caused by foreign currency fluctuation on its foreign currency receivables and payables and also purchases foreign currency futures contracts for speculative purposes. Futures are traded on the Kazakhstan Stock Exchange and represent commitments to purchase or sell a particular foreign currency at a future date and at a specific price.

All gains and losses on foreign currency contracts were realized during nine months ended December 31, 2017 and are included in net gain on derivatives in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statements of Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss). The contracts have varying maturities of less than one year.

Functional currency

Management has adopted ASC 830, Foreign Currency Translation Matters as it pertains to its foreign currency translation. The Company’s functional currencies are the Russian ruble, Euro, Ukrainian hryvnia and Kazakhstani tenge, and its reporting currency is the US dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into US dollars using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction. Average monthly rates are used to translate revenues and expenses. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in revenue.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are generally comprised of certain highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. Cash and cash equivalents include reverse repurchase agreements which are recorded at the amounts at which the securities were acquired or sold plus accrued interest.

Securities reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements

A reverse repurchase agreement is a transaction in which the Company purchases financial instruments from a seller, typically in exchange for cash, and simultaneously enters into an agreement to resell the same or substantially the same financial instruments to the seller for an amount equal to the cash or other consideration exchanged plus interest at a future date. Securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateralized financing transactions and are recorded at the contractual amount for which the securities will be resold, including accrued interest. Financial instruments purchased under reverse repurchase agreements are recorded in the financial statements as cash placed on deposit collateralized by securities and classified as cash and cash equivalents in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

FREEDOM HOLDING CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(All amounts in thousands of United States dollars, unless otherwise stated)

A repurchase agreement is a transaction in which the Company sells financial instruments to another party, typically in exchange for cash, and simultaneously enters into an agreement to reacquire the same or substantially the same financial instruments from the buyer for an amount equal to the cash or other consideration exchanged plus interest at a future date. These agreements are accounted for as collateralized financing transactions. The Company retains the financial instruments sold under repurchase agreements and classifies them as trading securities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The consideration received under repurchase agreements is classified as securities repurchase agreement obligations in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company enters into reverse repurchase agreements, repurchase agreements, securities borrowed and securities loaned transactions to, among other things, acquire securities to cover short positions and settle other securities obligations, to accommodate customers’ needs and to finance its inventory positions. The Company enters into these transactions in accordance with normal market practice. Under standard terms for repurchase transactions, the recipient of collateral has the right to sell or repledge the collateral, subject to returning equivalent securities on settlement of the transaction.

Available-for-sale securities

Financial assets categorized as available-for-sale (“AFS”) are non-derivatives that are either designated as available-for-sale or not classified as (a) loans and receivables, (b) held to maturity investments or (c) trading securities.

Listed shares and listed redeemable notes held by the Company that are traded in an active market are classified as AFS and are stated at fair value. The Company has investments in unlisted shares that are not traded in an active market but that are also classified as investments AFS and stated at fair value (because Company management considers that fair value can be reliably measured). Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve, with the exception of other-than-temporary impairment losses, interest calculated using the effective interest method, dividend income and foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary assets, which are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statements of other Comprehensive Income/(Loss). Where the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve is reclassified to profit or loss.

Trading securities

Financial assets are classified as trading securities if the financial asset has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term.

Trading securities are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in revenue. Changes in fair value are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statements of other Comprehensive Income/(Loss) and included in net gain/(loss) on trading securities. Interest earned and dividend income are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statements of other Comprehensive Income/(Loss) and included in interest income, according to the terms of the contract and when the right to receive the payment has been established.

Investments in nonconsolidated managed funds are accounted for at fair value based on the net asset value (“NAV”) of the funds provided by the fund managers with gains or losses included in net gain on trading securities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statements of other Comprehensive Income/(Loss).

Debt securities issued

Debt securities issued are initially recognized at the fair value of the consideration received, less directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequently, amounts due are stated at amortized cost and any difference between net proceeds and the redemption value is recognized over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. If the Company purchases its own debt, it is removed from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the difference between the carrying amount of the liability and the consideration paid is recognized.

Brokerage and other receivables

Brokerage and other receivables comprise commissions and receivables related to the securities brokerage and banking activity of the Company. At initial recognition, brokerage and other receivables are recognized at fair value. Subsequently, brokerage and other receivables are carried at cost net of any allowance for impairment losses.

Impairment of long lived assets

In accordance with the accounting guidance for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, the Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used when events and circumstances warrant such a review. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the fair value from such asset is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset. Fair value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost of disposal. As of December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2017, the Company had not recorded any charges for impairment of long-lived assets.

Impairment of goodwill

As of December 31, 2017, and March 31, 2017, goodwill recorded in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets totaled $1,856 and $981, respectively. The Company performs an impairment review at least annually, unless indicators of impairment exist in interim periods. The impairment test for goodwill uses a two-step approach. Step one compares the estimated fair value of a reporting unit with goodwill to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value, step two must be performed. Step two compares the carrying value of the reporting unit to the fair value of all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit as if the reporting unit was acquired in a business combination. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit's goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of its goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess. In its annual goodwill impairment test, the Company estimated the fair value of the reporting unit based on the income approach (also known as the discounted cash flow method) and determined the fair value of the Company’s goodwill exceeded the carrying amount of the Company’s goodwill.

Income taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the difference between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefits that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.

Current income tax expenses are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities. As part of the process of preparing financial statements, the Company is required to estimate its income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability approach. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for tax consequences in future years based on differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements at each year-end and tax loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applicable for the differences that are expected to affect taxable income.

The Company will include interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes in the provision for income taxes. As of December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2017, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. bill commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Reform Act”) was enacted, which significantly changes U.S. tax law by, among other things, lowering corporate income tax rates, implementing a territorial tax system and imposing a repatriation tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries. The Tax Reform Act permanently reduces the U.S. corporate income tax rate from a maximum of 35% to a flat 21% rate, effective January 1, 2018. The Tax Reform Act also provided for a one-time deemed repatriation of post-1986 undistributed foreign subsidiary earnings and profits (“E&P”) through the year ended December 31, 2017. The Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI") provisions of the Tax Reform Act require the Company to include in its U.S. income tax return foreign subsidiary earnings in excess of an allowable return on the foreign subsidiary’s tangible assets. The Company may be subject to incremental U.S. tax on GILTI income beginning in 2018, depending upon expense allocations and the applicable U.S. foreign tax credit rules. The Company has elected to account for GILTI tax in the period in which it is incurred, and therefore has not provided any deferred tax impacts of GILTI in its condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods ended December 31, 2017.

On December 22, 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) to address the application of U.S. GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Reform Act. The Company has considered the provisional tax impacts related to deemed repatriated earnings and the benefit for the revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, on its consolidated financial statements for the periods ended December 31, 2017. The final impact may differ from these provisional amounts, possibly materially, due to, among other things, additional analysis, changes in interpretations and assumptions the Company has made, additional regulatory guidance that may be issued, and actions the Company may take as a result of the Tax Reform Act. In accordance with SAB 118 the financial reporting impact of the Tax Reform Act will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Financial instruments

Financial instruments a re carried at fair value as described below.

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. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Fair value is the current bid price for financial assets, current ask price for financial liabilities and the average of current bid and ask prices when the Company is both in short and long positions for the financial instrument. A financial instrument is regarded as quoted in an active market if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange or other institution and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260)-Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480)-Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)”. This ASU addresses narrow issues identified as a result of the complexity associated with applying US GAAP for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The amendments in Part I of this update that relate to liability or equity classification of financial instruments (or embedded features) affect all entities that issue financial instruments (for example, warrants or convertible instruments) that include down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. For freestanding equity classified financial instruments, the amendments require entities that present earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with Topic 260 to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. For public business entities, the amendments in Part I of this ASU No. 2017-11 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The amendments in this update better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. To meet that objective, the amendments expand and refine hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and align the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements. The amendments in this update apply to any entity that elects to apply hedge accounting in accordance with current GAAP. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted in any interim period after issuance of the update. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Leases (Topic 840), and Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2017-13 essentially delays the effective date of the revenue recognition and leases standards for a subset of public entities. A public business entity that otherwise would not meet the definition of a public business entity except for a requirement to include or the inclusion of its financial statements or financial information in another entity’s filing with the SEC would be permitted to adopt (1) ASC Topic 606 for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and (2) ASC Topic 842, Leases for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Such an entity would also be permitted to adopt ASC Topic 606 and ASC Topic 842 according to the public business entity effective dates.

In November 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-14, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). A new Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) features amendments to select Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) paragraphs under the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). Issued as ASU No. 2017-14, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), the standard amends the Accounting Standards Codification to incorporate the SEC guidance.

Note 3 – Revision of Financial Statement

When preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017, management determined that certain amounts included in the Company’s March 31, 2017, consolidated financial statements required revision, due to closing of the acquisition of Freedom RU on June 29, 2017, and Freedom CY on November 1, 2017, which were deemed to be entities under common control with the Company. The previously issued Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2017, and Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Statements of Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss) for the three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2016 have been revised as follows:

During the nine months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the effective tax rate was equal to 2.53% and (168.42%), respectively, primarily due to non-taxable gains on trading securities in Freedom KZ in the amounts of $26,010 and $10,389, respectively. During the nine-months period ended December 31, 2017, the Company realized net income before income tax of $23,114, primarily from non-taxable revenues generated from the Company’s Freedom KZ’s trading operations. This resulted in the Company realizing an income tax expense during the nine months ended December 31, 2017 of $584. During the nine months ended December 31, 2016, the Company realized a net loss before income tax of $570 primarily from non-taxable revenues generated from Freedom KZ’s trading operations resulting in an income tax benefit of $960.

Note 14 – Stock based compensation

As disclosed in Note 13, on October 6, 2017, the Company issued restricted stock awards totaling 3,900,000 shares of its common stock to 16 employees and awarded nonqualified stock options to purchase an aggregate of 360,000 shares of its common stock at a strike price $1.98 per share to two employees. Shares of restricted stock have the same dividend and voting rights as common stock while options do not. All awards are issued at fair value of the underlying shares at the grant date.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2017, stock options covering a total of 360,000 shares of common stock were granted. No options were granted for the nine months ended December 31, 2016. Total compensation expense related to options granted was $51 for the nine months ended December 31, 2017 and $0 for the nine months ended December 31, 2016. As of December 31, 2017, there was total remaining compensation expense of $596 related to stock options, which will be recorded over a weighted average period of approximately 2.8 years.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2017 a total of 3,900,000 restricted shares were awarded. During the nine months ended December 31, 2016 no restricted shares were awarded. The compensation expense related to restricted stock awards was $741 during the nine months ended December 31, 2017 and $0 during the nine months ended December 31, 2016. As of December 31, 2017, there was $7,447 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested shares of restricted stock granted. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.5 years.

Stock-based compensation expense for the cost of the awards granted is based on the grant-date fair value. For stock option awards, the fair value is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, changes to which can materially affect the fair value estimate. Additionally, there may be other factors that would otherwise have a significant effect on the value of employee stock options granted but are not considered by the model. Accordingly, while management believes that the Black-Scholes option-pricing model provides a reasonable estimate of fair value, the model does not necessarily provide the best single measure of fair value for the Company's employee stock options.

Overview

We are pursuing a strategy to become a regional leader in the financial services industry, serving individuals desiring enhanced market access to international capital markets using state of the art technology platforms for their brokerage and banking needs. Under the existing regulatory regimes in Russia, Kazakhstan and Ukraine, Freedom RU, Freedom KZ and Freedom UA are limited in their ability to grant their customers direct access to the U.S. securities markets. Currently, many of the customers of Freedom RU, Freedom KZ and Freedom UA access the U.S. securities markets through Freedom CY.

Our customers are attracted to our strategy and the prospect of market access without trading through omnibus clearing accounts that are disfavored by regulators and U.S. financial institutions and diversifying portfolios to address risk management associated with political, regulatory, currency, banking, and national economic risks and uncertainties.

Our business strategy includes proprietary trading activities for our own accounts in targeted market segments and a limited number of issuers in those markets.

We carry out our business activities through our wholly-owned subsidiaries Freedom RU, Freedom CY and Freedom UA, and the wholly owned subsidiaries of Freedom RU, including Freedom KZ, Freedom 24 and FFIN Bank. We also own FFIN. On November 1, 2017, we entered into an agreement to acquire Freedom UA, and in January, 2018, we received final regulatory approval from the National Securities and Stock Market Commission of Ukraine (“NSSMC”) of that acquisition.

In February 2018 formed LLC Freedom Finance (“Freedom UZ”) in Uzbekistan as a wholly owned subsidiary of FRHC. Freedom UZ plans to apply to become a licensed securities broker dealer in Uzbekistan.

Results of Operations

Three months ended December 31, 2017, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2016

Revenue

During the three months December 31, 2017 and 2016, we realized total revenue, net of ($2,159) and $2,866, respectively. Revenue during these periods was primarily realized from net gain/(loss) on trading securities, interest income, fee and commission income and net gain on foreign exchange operations. Revenue during the three months ended December 31, 2017, was significantly lower than during the three months ended December 31, 2016, due to a realizing a net loss on trading securities during the period ended December 31, 2017, compared to a net gain on trading securities during the period ended December 31, 2016.

Net gain/(loss) on trading securities . Net gain or loss on trading securities reflects the gains and losses from trading activities in our proprietary trading accounts. Net gains or losses are comprised of realized and unrealized gains and losses. Gains or losses are realized when we close a position in a security and realize a gain or a loss on that position. U.S. GAAP requires that we reflect in our financial statements unrealized gains and losses on all our securities trading positions that remain open as of the end of each period. Unrealized gains or losses reflect the value of our open securities positions at the end of the periods reported. Fluctuations in unrealized gains or losses from one period to another may result from factors within our control, such as when we elect to close an open securities position, which would have the effect of reducing our open positions and, thereby potentially reducing the amount of unrealized gains or losses in a period. Fluctuations in unrealized gains and losses from period to period may also occur as a result of factors beyond our control, such as fluctuations in the market prices of the open securities positions we hold. Unrealized gains or losses in a particular period may or may not be indicative of the gain or loss we will realize on a securities position when the position is closed.

During the three months ended December 31, 2017, we recognized a net loss on trading securities of $8,318, which included $205 of realized net loss and $8,113 of unrealized net loss compared to a net gain of $1,164, which included $1,493 of net realized loss and $2,655 of unrealized net gain on trading securities for three months ended December 31, 2016. By comparison, during the three months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized a net gain on trading securities of $32,134, which included $5,028 of realized net gain and $27,106 of unrealized net gain. The primary contributing factor to this change during the three months ended December 31, 2017, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017, was a decrease in the share price of JSC Kcell – Kazakhstan’s largest cellular service provider – held in our proprietary trading account which contributed $9,870 to net loss on trading securities during the three months ended December 31, 2017. The primary contributing factor to our $1,164 net gain on trading securities during the three months ended December 31, 2016 was share price increase of JSC KEGOC – Kazakhstan’s largest electricity grid company and KazTransOil – Kazakhstan’s largest oil pipeline company – which contributed $1,905 and $1,623, respectively, to net gain on trading securities for the three months ended December 31, 2016.

Included in the net gain on trading securities is $1,715 related to unrealized gains on trading securities recorded in FRHC accounting records. FRHC has a brokerage account and started proprietary trading as part of overall group’s liquidity management strategy.

Interest income . During the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, we recorded interest income from several sources: interest income on trading securities and interest income on cash and cash equivalents, reverse repurchase transactions and amounts due from banks. Interest income on trading securities consisted of interest earned from investments in debt securities and dividends earned on equity securities held in our proprietary trading accounts.

During the three months ended December 31, 2017, we realized interest income of $2,853 compared to $724 for the three months ended December 31, 2016. This increase was primarily due to an increase in interest income from reverse repurchase transactions in the amount of $611 as a result of our increased volume of reverse repurchase transactions and an increase in interest income on trading securities of $1,348.

Net gain/(loss) on foreign exchange operations . Net gain or loss on foreign exchange operations result from the revaluation of assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than Russian rubles. Gains and losses are realized based on the fluctuation in value between the currencies being revalued. During the three months ended December 31, 2017 we realized net gain on foreign exchange operations of $424 compared to $138 net loss on foreign exchange operations. This increase is attributable mainly to a $172 gain in the revaluation of JSC Kcell securities denominated in Kazakhstani tenge to Russian rubles due to a rise in the value of the Russian ruble against the Kazakhstani tenge during the three months ended December 31, 2017. Another reason that contributed to the net gain on foreign operations was $209 gain on revaluation of corporate bonds indexed to United States dollar issued by Freedom KZ due to appreciation on Kazakhstani tenge against United States dollar.

Fee and commission income . During the three months ended December 31, 2017, fee and commission income increased $883 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2016. This increase resulted principally from increased commissions and fees for bank and brokerage services and increased market making services. During the three months ended December 31, 2017, fees and commissions associated with bank services increased by $464. This increase primarily resulted from FFIN Bank commencing active operations at the beginning of our current fiscal year. In contrast, during the three months ended December 31, 2016, FFIN Bank was in the process of moving, opening new offices, arranging its capital requirements and preparing to commence active operations. Fees for bank services consisted primarily of wire transfer fees, commissions for payment processing and commissions for currency exchange operations. During the three months ended December 31, 2017 comparing to three months ended December 31, 2016, we experienced increases in commissions and fees for brokerage services of $439 and decreases in market-making services of $38. Brokerage service commissions and fees are realized from the provision of brokerage services to our customers. The increase resulted from both the growth of our customer base and increases in our client transaction volume.

Net gain on trading of futures . During the three months ended December 31, 2017, Freedom KZ purchased foreign currency futures contracts to sell $25,000 at the weighted average exchange rate of 345.63 KZT/USD in December 2017 and March 2018. As a result of the increase in the KZT/USD exchange rate during the three months ended December 31, 2017, we recognized a $155 gain on the trading of futures during the three month ended December 31, 2017. The Company uses foreign currency futures contracts to minimize the risk caused by foreign currency fluctuation on its foreign currency receivables and payables by purchasing futures with financial institutions. The futures contracts are traded on the Kazakhstan Stock Exchange and represent commitments to purchase or sell a particular foreign currency at a future date and at a specific price.

Expenses

During the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, we incurred total expenses of $11,370 and $3,851, respectively. Expenses during the December 31, 2017 period was higher primarily as a result of higher operating expenses, fee and commission expense and interest expense as we continued to expand and grow our business.

Operating expenses . During the three months ended December 31, 2017, operating expenses totaled $5,983 compared to operating expenses of $2,461 for the three months ended December 31, 2016. The increase was primarily attributable to higher general and administrative expenses related to growth in our operations, including a $792 increase in stock compensation expense, $653 increase in payroll expenses, a $451 increase in rent expense, a $176 increase in professional services fees, a $168 increase in office repair expenses, $106 increase in advertising expenses, $134 increase in business trip expenses, $303 increase in office equipment expenses and a $291 increase in expenses for communication services, trainings and conferences, charity, IT services fees, insurance fees and expenses for taxes, other than income tax.

Fee and commission expenses. During the three months ended December 31, 2017, we recognized fee and commission expense of $795, compared to fee and commission expense of $129 during the three months ended December 31, 2016. The increase was mainly associated with an increase in custody bank services fee of $462 and increased commission fees paid to the Central Depository, stock exchanges and brokerage fees to other brokers of $60. The higher custody bank service fees resulted from a significant increase in our position in the shares of Kcell which we purchased on international stock markets.

Interest expense. During the three months ended December 31, 2017, we recognized total interest expense of $4,487, compared to total interest expense of $1,120 during the three months ended December 31, 2016. The increase in interest expense was primarily attributable to higher amounts of short-term financing attracted by means of securities repurchase agreements, totaling $2,942, and the issuance of debt securities by Freedom KZ and related interest expense totaling $194.

Income tax (expense)/benefit

We recognized a net loss before income tax of $13,529 during the three months ended December 31, 2017 and $985 during the 2016 period, resulting in an income tax benefit for the three months ended December 31, 2017 of $403 and a benefit from income tax of $413 during the three months ended December 31, 2016.

Net income before non-controlling interest

For the reasons discussed above, during the three months ended December 31, 2017, we realized a net loss of $13,126 compared to a net loss of $572 for the three months ended December 31, 2016.

Comprehensive income attributable to common shareholders

The functional currencies of our operating subsidiaries are the Russian ruble, Euro, Ukrainian hryvnia and the Kazakhstani tenge. Our reporting currency is the US dollar. As a result of fluctuations in the Russian ruble and the Kazakhstani tenge against the US dollar during the periods covered in this report, we realized a foreign currency translation gain of $1,529 during the three months ended December 31, 2017, compared to a foreign currency translation gain of $453 during the three months ended December 31, 2016. As a results, during the three-month period ended December 31, 2017, we realized comprehensive loss attributable to common shareholders of $11,597, compared to a comprehensive loss attributable to common shareholders of $395 during the three months ended December 31, 2016.

Nine months ended December 31, 2017, compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2016

Revenue

During the nine months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, we realized total revenue of $46,331 and $9,079, respectively. Revenue during these periods was primarily realized from net gain on trading securities, interest income, fee and commission income, derivative activities and net gain on foreign exchange operations. Revenue during the nine months ended December 31, 2017, was significantly higher than during the nine months ended December 31, 2016, due to a significant increase in net gain on trading securities.

Net gain on trading securities . During the nine months ended December 31, 2017, we recognized a net gain on trading securities of $30,825, which included $11,263 of realized net gain and $19,562 of unrealized net gain, compared to a net gain of $4,583, which included $948 of realized net gain and $3,635 of unrealized net gain, on trading securities for nine months ended December 31, 2016. There were two main factors that contributed to this increase. The first was the share price increases of JSC Kcell and JSC KEGOC which contributed $18,355 and $1,181, respectively, to net gain on trading securities. The second factor was $8,373 income realized during the nine months ended December 31, 2017, from selling shares of Astana Bank held in our proprietary trading accounts.

Interest income . During the nine months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, we realized interest income of $6,442 and $1,710, respectively. This increase was primarily due to increased interest income from reverse repurchase transactions of $1,669 and increased interest income from investments in trading securities of $2,660.

Net gain on foreign exchange operations. D uring the nine months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, we realized net gain on foreign exchange operations of $1,957 and $296, respectively. The increase is attributable mainly to a $757 gain realized on the revaluation of JSC Kcell securities denominated in Kazakhstani tenge to Russian rubles due to a rise in the value of the Russian ruble against the Kazakhstani tenge during our first three fiscal quarters 2018. Additionally, for the same reason we realized a $365 gain in the revaluation of cash and cash equivalents denominated in Kazakhstani tenge during the nine months ended December 31, 2017.

Fee and commission income. During the nine months ended December 31, 2017, fee and commission income increased $3,950 compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2016. This increase resulted principally from increased commissions and fees for bank and brokerage services, and increased underwriting and market making services. During the nine months ended December 31, 2017, we realized a $1,292 increase in fees and commissions associated with bank services. As noted above, this increase primarily resulted from FFIN Bank commencing active operations at the beginning of fiscal 2017. During the nine months ended December 31, 2017, we experienced a $1,468 increase in commissions and fees for brokerage services. During the nine months ended December 31, 2017, we engaged in significantly more underwriting and market making activities than during the nine months ended December 31, 2016, resulting in a $1,040 increase in fees and commissions realized from underwriting and market making services.

Net gain on trading of futures . As noted above, because of the increase in the KZT/USD exchange rate during the nine months ended December 31, 2017, we realized a $155 gain on trading of foreign currency futures contracts during the nine months ended December 31, 2017.

Expenses

During the nine months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, we incurred total expenses of $23,217 and $9,649, respectively. Expenses during the period ended December 31, 2017, was higher primarily as a result of higher operating expenses, fee and commission expense and interest expense as we continued to expand and grow our business.

Operating expenses . During the nine months ended December 31, 2017, operating expenses totaled $12,113 compared to operating expenses of $6,694 for the nine months ended December 31, 2016. This increase was primarily attributable to higher general and administrative expenses related to growth in our operations, including a $792 increase in stock compensation expense, $1,387 increase in payroll expenses, a $607 increase in rent expense, a $544 increase in professional services fees, a $369 increase in office repair expenses, $140 increase in advertising expenses, $134 increase in business trip expenses, $303 increase in office equipment expenses and a $313 increase in expenses for communication services, trainings and conferences, charity, IT services fees, insurance fees and expenses for taxes, other than income tax.

Fee and commission expenses. During the nine months ended December 31, 2017, we recognized fee and commission expense of $1,474, compared to fee and commission expense of $216 during the nine months ended December 31, 2016. The increase was mainly associated with an increase in custody bank service fee for $785 during the nine months ended December 31, 2017, and increased commission fees paid to the Central Depository, stock exchanges and brokerage fees to other brokers of $198. The increase in custody bank service fee resulted from the significant increase of our position in the shares of Kcell which we purchased on international stock markets.

Interest expense. During the nine months ended December 31, 2017, we recognized total interest expense of $9,499, compared to total interest expense of $2,472 during the nine months ended December 31, 2016. The increase in interest expense was primarily attributed to higher amounts of short-term financing attracted by means of repurchase agreements, totaling $6,261, and the issuance of debt securities by Freedom KZ and related interest expense totaling $470.

Income tax (expense)/benefit

We recognized net income before income tax of $23,114 during the nine months ended December 31, 2017, resulting in an income tax expense during the period of $584. During the nine months ended December 31, 2016, we realized a net loss before income taxes of $570, resulting in an income tax benefit during the period of $960.

Net income before non-controlling interests

For the reasons discussed above, during the nine months ended December 31, 2017, we realized net income of $22,530 compared to net income of $390 for the nine months ended December 31, 2016.

Comprehensive income attributable to common shareholders

As a result of fluctuations in the Russian ruble, Euro, Ukrainian hryvnia and the Kazakhstan tenge against the US dollar during the periods covered in this report, we realized a foreign currency translation loss of $2,809 during the nine months ended December 31, 2017, compared to a foreign currency translation gain of $1,933 during the nine months ended December 31, 2016. During the nine months ended December 31, 2017, we realized comprehensive income attributable to common shareholders of $19,721, compared to a comprehensive income attributable to common shareholders of $2,046 during the nine months ended December 31, 2016.

Because we are growing and expanding our operations, we expect to continue to realize higher revenues, expenses and net income year-over-year in upcoming fiscal periods. We anticipate, however, that the quarter-over-quarter financial results may vary. As noted above, as a result of significant decreases in the prices of the Kcell and KEGOC shares we hold in our proprietary trading account, we recognized a significant net loss on our trading securities in the third fiscal quarter 2017, most of which is unrealized. During the nine months ended December 31, 2017, we also realized significant fees and commissions and trading profits from our involvement in the Astana Bank IPO. We continue to work on potential underwriting engagements, but currently do not have any engagements to provide underwriting services in upcoming periods, so we expect fee and commission income to be lower in upcoming periods until we are able to successfully underwrite additional securities offerings.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is a measurement of our ability to meet our potential cash requirements for general business purposes. As of December 31, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of $34,847, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $22,616, as of March 31, 2017. At December 31, 2017, we had total current assets (less restricted cash) of $240,249 and total current liabilities of $162,698, resulting in working capital of $77,551. By comparison, at March 31, 2017, we had total current assets (less restricted cash) of $105,446 and total current liabilities of $74,017, resulting in working capital of $31,429.

At December 31, 2017, we held trading securities in our proprietary trading account of $199,207. Of this amount, $137,436 were subject to securities repurchase obligations. Of our $34,847 in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2017, $21,674 was subject to reverse repurchase agreements. We monitor and manage our leverage and liquidity risk through various committees and processes we have established. We assess our leverage and liquidity risk based on considerations and assumptions of market factors, as well as other factors, including the amount of available liquid capital (i.e., the amount of their cash and cash equivalents not invested in our operating business). While we are confident in the risk management monitoring and management processes we have in place, a significant portion of our trading securities and cash and cash equivalents are subject to collateralization agreements, which potentially increases our risk of loss in the event financial markets move against our positions. When this occurs our liquidity, capitalization and business can be negatively impacted.

Regulatory requirements applicable to Freedom RU, Freedom KZ, Freedom CY, Freedom UA and FFIN Bank require them to maintain minimum capital levels. Their primary sources of funds for liquidity have historically consisted of existing cash balances (i.e., available liquid capital not invested in their operating businesses), capital contributions from Mr. Turlov, gains from their proprietary trading accounts, fees and commissions, and interest income.

During the nine months ended December 31 , 2017, Mr. Turlov contributed $8,594 to capital. We have no agreements with Mr. Turlov to provide additional capital contributions and he is under no obligation to continue to provide us capital. In December we completed a private placement of our equity securities raising net proceeds $11,045. During the nine months ended December 31, 2017 we also realized proceeds from issuance of debt securities of $9,853, of which, $2,449 was used to repurchase Company debt securities.

We have pursued an aggressive growth strategy during the past several years, and we anticipate continuing efforts to rapidly expand the footprint of our brokerage, banking and financial services business in Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Cyprus and other markets. While this strategy has led to revenue growth it also results in increased expenses and greater need for capital resources. Further growth and e xpansion may require greater capital resources than we currently possess, which could require us to pursue equity or debt financing from outside sources.
