Firm Policy

Our firm’s policy is to respond to a Significant Business Disruption (SBD) by safeguarding employees’ lives and firm property, making a financial and operational assessment, quickly recovering and resuming operations, protecting all of the firm’s books and records, and allowing our customers to transact business. In the event that we determine we are unable to continue our business, we will assure customers prompt access to their funds and securities.

Significant Business Disruptions (SBDs)
Our plan anticipates two kinds of SBDs, internal and external. Internal SBDs affect only our firm’s ability to communicate and do business, such as a fire in our building. External SBDs prevent the operation of the securities markets or a number of firms, such as a terrorist attack, a city flood, or a wide-scale, regional disruption. Our response to an external SBD relies more heavily on other organizations and systems, especially on the capabilities of our clearing firm and outside vendors.

Should Meyers Associates, L.P. ever experience an internal SBD where we not able to access our New York location, or the New York location became inoperable, we intend to continue to do business during such a scenario. We anticipate recovery time to be as little as a matter of hours to one or two full business day, depending upon the severity of the disruption.

General information regarding our intended responses would be communicated to clients on the fastest available means, be it phone, cellular phone, e-mail, or our website. The New York office can be reached at 212-742-4200, 646-442-0610, 800-606-4400 or by contacting our clearing firms as described on our web-site, at www.meyersassociateslp.com, or through the emergency contacts listed above.

Should Meyers Associates, LP. experience an external SDB, which would prevent the operation of the securities markets in the New York region; such as a terrorist attack, a city flood, or a wide-scale, regional disruption of some type, it is our intent is to direct our operations from the homes of senior management.

Meyers Associates, L.P. is highly dependent upon the services of our vendors, and our ability to operate subject to an external SDB would depend upon the availability of our vendors and alternate vendors. Vendors, such as our clearing agents have robust BCP plans and would expect to continue operations via the Internet. It is the intent of Meyers Associates, L.P. to continue operations during an external SDB. We anticipate recovery time at one full business day to a full week depending upon the severity of the disruption.

General information regarding our intended responses would be communicated to clients on the fastest available means, be it phone, cellular phone, e-mail, or our website at www.meyersassociateslp.com. The New York office can be reached at 212-742-4200, 646-442-0610, 800-606-4400 and through the emergency contacts listed above.

Financial and Operational Assessments

Operational Risk

In the event of an SBD, we will immediately identify what means will permit us to communicate with our customers, employees, critical business constituents, critical banks, critical counter-parties and regulators. Although the effects of an SBD will determine the means of alternative communication, the communications options we will employ will include our web site, telephone voice mail, e-mail etc. In addition, we will retrieve our key activity records as described in the section above, Data Back-Up and Recovery (Hard Copy and Electronic).

Rules: FINRA Rules 4370(c)(3),(c)(4), (c)(5), (c)(7), (c)(9 & (g)(2)).

Financial and Credit Risk

In the event of an SBD, we will determine the value and liquidity of our investments and other assets to evaluate our ability to continue to fund our operations and remain in capital compliance. We will contact our clearing firms, critical banks and investors to apprise them of our financial status. If we determine that we may be unable to meet our obligations to those counter-parties or otherwise continue to fund our operations, we will request additional financing from our bank or other credit sources to fulfill our obligations to our customers and clients. If we cannot remedy a capital deficiency, we will file appropriate notices with our regulators and immediately take appropriate steps. .

Rules: FINRA Rules 4370(c)(3), (c)(8) & (g)(2).

Mission Critical Systems

Our firm’s “mission critical systems” are those that ensure prompt and accurate processing of securities transactions, including order taking, entry, execution, comparison, allocation, clearance and settlement of securities transactions, the maintenance of customer accounts, access to customer accounts and the delivery of funds and securities. More specifically, these systems include;

Order taking/order entry
Trading – equity & fixed income
Execution
Comparison
Allocation
Clearance & settlement
Access to client accounts

We have primary responsibility for establishing and maintaining our business relationships with our customers and have sole responsibility for our mission critical functions of order taking and entry and execution. Our clearing firms provide, through contract, the execution, comparison, allocation, clearance and settlement of securities transactions, maintenance of customer accounts, access to customer accounts and the delivery of funds and securities.

Our clearing firms’ contract provides that our clearing firms will maintain a business continuity plan and the capacity to execute that plan. Our clearing firms represents that they will advise us of any material changes to their plan that might affect our ability to maintain our business. In the event our clearing firms execute their plan, they represent that they will notify us of such execution and provide us equal access to services as their other customers. If we reasonably determine that our clearing firms have not or cannot put their plan in place quickly enough to meet our needs, or are otherwise unable to provide access to such services, our clearing firms represent that they will assist us in seeking services from an alternative source.

Our clearing firms represents that they back up our records at a remote site. Our clearing firms represents that they operate a back-up operating facility in a geographically separate area with the capability to conduct the same volume of business as their primary site. Our clearing firms have also confirmed the effectiveness of their back-up arrangements to recover from a wide scale disruption by testing, and they have confirmed that it tests its back-up arrangements.

Recovery-time objectives provide concrete goals to plan for and test against. They are not, however, hard and fast deadlines that must be met in every emergency situation, and various external factors surrounding a disruption, such as time of day, scope of disruption and status of critical infrastructure—particularly telecommunications—can affect actual recovery times. Recovery refers to the restoration of clearing and settlement activities after a wide-scale disruption; resumption refers to the capacity to accept and process new transactions and payments after a wide-scale disruption. Our clearing firms have the following SBD recovery time and resumption objectives: virtual continuous access to all services.

Victor Puzio will periodically review our clearing firm’s capabilities to perform the mission critical functions the clearing firm has contracted to perform for our firm.

Our Firm’s Mission Critical Systems
Order Taking
Currently, our firm receives orders from customers via telephone, fax mail and in person visits by the customer.

Customers will be informed of alternatives by telephone, fax, e-mail and our web-site. If necessary we will advise our customers to place orders directly with our clearing firms at Sterne Agee Clearing and Legent Clearing.

Order Entry
Currently, our firm enters orders by recording them on paper and electronically and sending them to other market makers and our clearing firms electronically or telephonically.

In the event of an internal SBD, we will enter and send records to other market makers and our clearing firms by the fastest alternative means available, which include telephone, fax and e-mail. In the event of an external SBD, we will maintain the order in electronic or paper format, and deliver the order to the clearing firms by the fastest means available when it resumes operations. In addition, during an internal SBD, we may need to refer our customers to deal directly with our clearing firms for order entry.

Mission Critical Systems Provided by Our Clearing Firms
