Business Continuity Plan Summary

Disclosure Statement: FBSS has developed a Business Continuity Plan (the “BCP”) to ensure a timely and coordinated response to events that may significantly disrupt its business. As the timing, severity, and impact of disasters and disruptions are unpredictable by nature, the BCP must be flexible in responding to actual events as they occur.

Overview of Business Continuity Plan: The Firm’s goal in responding to a Significant Business Disruption (“SBD”) is to safeguard the Firm’s employees and property, safeguard customer assets, make a financial and operational assessment of the situation, protect the Firm’s books and records, and allow the Firm’s customers to transact business. The BCP is designed to allow the Firm to resume operations as quickly as possible, given the scope and severity of the SBD.

The BCP addresses the following areas: (i) data backup and recovery; (ii) mission critical systems; (iii) financial and operational assessments; (iv) alternative communications with customers, employees, and regulators; (v) alternate physical location of employees; (vi) critical supplier, contractor, bank and counter-party impact; (vii) regulatory reporting; and (viii) providing the Firm’s customers prompt access to their funds and securities if the Firm is unable to continue its business.

Varying Disruptions: SBDs can vary in their scope and magnitude. They may affect only the Firm, a single building housing the Firm, the business district where the Firm is located, the city where the Firm is located, or the whole region. Within each of these areas, the severity of the disruption can also vary from minimal to severe. For example, if there is a local power outage, the Firm may continue operations utilizing on-site backup power systems. If the building housing the Firm is deemed inoperable, the Firm may transfer operations to an alternative local site if necessary. In a disruption affecting the Firm’s business district, city, or region, the Firm may transfer operations to a site outside of the affected area. In any situation, the Firm plans to attempt to continue business and notify customers through the Firm web site or any other means that remain available. If the SBD is so severe that it prevents the Firm from remaining in business, the Firm will work to assure customers prompt access to their funds and securities.
