GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. This Form consists of two parts. Part I consists of the organizational, policy and legal information required
by paragraphs (a)(1)(i) through (iii) of section 240.17h-1T, together with the financial statements required by
paragraphs (a)(1)(iv) and (v) of section 240.17h-1T. Part II contains line items for reporting the numerical and
other data required by paragraphs (a)(1)(vi) through (x) of section 240.17h-1T.

2. Report as of the last day of the fiscal quarter. This Form is to be filed within 60 calendar days of the end of
each fiscal quarter by brokers and dealers concerning each Material Associated Person (as defined in Temporary
Rules 17h-1T and 17h-2T). The Form for the fourth fiscal quarter shall be filed within 60 calendar days of the
end of the fiscal year. The cumulative year-end financial statements required by paragraphs (a)(1)(iv) and (v)
of section 240.17h-1T may be filed separately within 105 calendar days of the end of the fiscal year.

3. In the event a broker or dealer is associated with one or more other registered brokers or dealers, each broker
or dealer is required to file a separate Form 17-H. The Commission may exempt from the filing requirements
all brokers or dealers associated with a broker or dealer that has been designated a “Reporting Broker or Dealer.”
The term “Reporting Broker or Dealer” shall have the meaning set forth in Rules 17h-1T and 17h-2T. A broker
or dealer seeking designation as a Reporting Broker or Dealer must apply to the Commission for an exemption
pursuant to Rule 17h-2T. Pending such designation, each broker or dealer associated with the broker or dealer
requesting such designation as a Reporting Broker or Dealer is required to file a separate Form 17-H.

4. The information requested in Part II of this Form shall be completed separately for each Material Associated
Person, even if the financial data contained in the broker or dealer’s Form X-17A-5 contains information
concerning a Material Associated Person. The broker-dealer should not include information concerning its
activities in the information required by Part II of this Form if such information is filed with the Commission as
part of the broker-dealer’s Form X-17A-5 or Form G-405.

or dealer. Quarterly updates should be provided only where a material change in the information provided to the

dealer pursuant to paragraph (a)(1)(iii) of section 240.17h-1T.

Commission. Quarterly updates should be provided only where a material change in the information provided
to the Commission has occurred.
