23.SEGMENT REPORTING

SWS operates the following four business segments: 

· Clearing: The clearing segment provides clearing and execution services (generally on a fully disclosed basis) for securities broker/dealers, for bank affiliated firms and firms specializing in high volume trading.

· Retail Brokerage:  The retail brokerage segment includes retail securities products and services (equities, mutual funds and fixed income products), insurance products and managed accounts and encompasses the activities of the Company’s employees that are registered representatives and the Company’s independent contractors who are under contract with SWS Financial. 

· Institutional Brokerage:  The institutional brokerage segment serves institutional customers in securities borrowing and lending, municipal finance, sales, trading and underwriting of taxable and tax-exempt fixed income securities and equity trading.

· Banking:  The Bank offers traditional banking products and services,focusing on industrial and small business lending, commercial real estate lending and mortgage purchase.  

Clearing and institutional brokerage services are offered exclusively through Southwest Securities.  The Bank and its subsidiary comprise the banking segment.  Retail brokerage services are offered through Southwest Securities (the Private Client Group and the Investment Management Group departments), SWS Insurance and SWS Financial (which contracts with independent representatives for the administration of their securities business).

SWS's segments are managed separately based on types of products and services offered and their related client bases.  The segments are consistent with how the Company manages its resources and assesses its performance.  Management assesses performance based primarily on income before income taxes and net interest revenue (expense).  As a result, SWS reports net interest revenue (expense) by segment.  SWS's business segment information is prepared using the following methodologies:

· the financial results for each segment are determined using the same policies as those described inNote 1,Significant Accounting Policies;

· segment financial information includes the allocation of interest based on each segment’s earned interest spreads;

· information system and operational expenses are allocated based on each segment’s usage;

· shared securities execution facilities expenses are allocated to the segments based on production levels;

· money market fee revenue is allocated based on each segment’s average balances; and

· clearing charges are allocated based on clearing levels from each segment.

Intersegment balances are eliminated upon consolidation and have been applied to the appropriate segment.

The "other" category includes SWS Group, corporate administration and SWS Capital.  SWS Capital is a dormant entity that holds approximately $20,000 of assets.  SWS Group is a holding company that owns various investments.

The following table presents the Company’s operations by the segments outlined above for the fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012:
