(the "Company") was incorporated in September 1965, organized under the Laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and is registered as a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and files financial statements pursuant to Rule 17a-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC). On January 2, 2019, 100 percent of the Company's stock was acquired by Horace Mann Educators Corporation (the "Parent") from Benefits Consultants Group, Inc. ("BCG"). The Company brokers securities transactions for investment mutual funds, customer 401(k) plans and individuals. The Company's customer base is mainly comprised of companies and individuals located in the Northeastern United States. The Company has a required net capital of \$5,000 to support these activities. The Company operates under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rule 15c3-3(k)(2)(ii) exemption, clearing all transactions on a fully disclosed basis, and relies upon Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34- 70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5 effecting securities transactions via subscriptions on a subscription way basis where the funds are payable to the issuer or its agent and not to the Company. The Company does not carry customer accounts, hold customer funds or safekeep customer securities. #### **(2) Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies** #### *(a) Basis of Presentation* The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of American (U.S. GAAP) and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). #### *(b) Use of Estimates* The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. 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 revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. #### *(c) Revenue Recognition* The revenue recognition guidance requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance requires an entity to follow a five-step model to (a) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (b) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (c) determine the transaction price, (d) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (e) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. In determining the transaction price, an entity may include variable consideration only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized would not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. The Company recognizes revenue from contracts with customers for investment advisory fees and commission income and fees from sales of mutual funds and insurance products. Other sources of revenue are commissions from sales of equities, municipal bonds, and other securities. The recognition and measurement of revenue is based on the assessment of individual contract terms. Significant judgement is required to determine whether performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time; how to allocate transaction prices where multiple performance obligations are identified; when to recognize revenue based on the appropriate measure of the {11}------------------------------------------------ ### **BCG SECURITIES, INC.** Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2025 Company's progress under the contract; and whether constraints on variable consideration should be applied due to uncertain future events. The Company recognizes revenue from contracts as follows: i. **Commission Revenues and Execution and Clearing Costs** – The Company buys and sells securities on behalf of its customers. Each time a customer enters into a buy or sell transaction, the Company charges a commission. Commission and related clearing expenses are recorded on the trade date. The Company has determined that the performance obligation is satisfied on the trade date because that is when the underlying financial instrument, counterparties are identified, the pricing is agreed upon and the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to/from the customer. In its relationship with Pershing LLC, the clearing broker, the Company acts in an agent capacity, and therefore, commission revenue is recorded net of the commission expenses paid to registered representatives. In its relationship with other fund companies or product sponsors of the mutual fund products, the Company acts in a principal capacity, and therefore, commission revenue is recorded gross on the statement of operations. For other types of contracts, such as fixed and variable annuities and life products, the Company acts in an agent capacity, and therefore, commission revenue is recorded net of the commission expenses paid to registered representatives. Commission revenues are generally received monthly after the services have been provided, unless the transactions are through the clearing broker. The monthly payment follows performance, so the Company accrues receivable for the uncollected fees. For the commission revenues that are collected through the clearing broker on settlement date, the Company's performance obligation is satisfied on the trade date. Therefore, there is no significant timing difference between performance obligation and payment. ii. **Selling and Distribution Fees** – The Company has entered into selling agreements with investment companies, mutual funds and insurance companies to offer the sale of their shares or products. The Company's compensation is established by the contract between the Company and the fund for which the Company is selling shares. Contracts may be structured with distribution fees that become determinative at different times, including upfront, over time, upon an investor's redemption, or a combination thereof. Upfront distribution fees are generally a fixed percentage of the share price. Compensation from ongoing 12b-1 fees is generally variable as the fees are contingent upon the net asset value (NAV). Historically, the Company receives an agreed-upon quarterly fee based on assets under management and a performance incentive fee. The ultimate amount of 12b-1 fees is dependent upon the value of the shares at future points in time as well as the length of time the investor remains in the fund, both of which are highly susceptible to factors outside the Company's influence. The Company does not believe it can overcome these constraints until the market value of the fund and the investor activity are known, usually monthly or quarterly. Therefore 12b-1 fees are recognized as revenue only when determinable. The Company agrees to provide ongoing customer monitoring and maintain customer relationships. As such, the Company acts in a principal capacity, and therefore, fees are recorded gross on the statement of operations. The fees billed in advance are generally billed quarterly at the beginning of the service period. In these arrangements, payment precedes the satisfaction of the performance obligation, and the Company records a contract liability (deferred revenue) that is {12}------------------------------------------------ #### Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2025 recognized ratably over the quarterly period. For the 12b-1 fees that are received monthly or quarterly after the performance obligation is satisfied, the Company accrues receivable for the uncollected fees. The following table presents the disaggregated revenue from contracts with customers reported for the year ended December 31, 2025: | Commissions revenue and execution and clearing costs: | | |-------------------------------------------------------|------------------| | Mutual funds | \$
490,020 | | Variable annuities and life products | 159,791 | | Stock, bonds, and other securities | 95,259 | | Total commissions | 745,070 | | Selling and distribution fees | 10,300,824 | | Total | \$
11,045,894 | The following table presents the opening and closing balances of receivables from contracts with customers: | Commissions receivable as of January 1, 2025 | \$
464,363 | |------------------------------------------------|---------------| | Commissions receivable as of December 31, 2025 | 394,584 | | Change | \$
69,779 | #### *(d) Cash and Cash Equivalents* Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash and money market demand accounts with original or remaining maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. #### *(e) Commissions Receivable* Commissions receivable represent amounts due from the Company's clearing firm and other mutual fund companies for securities transactions that were traded prior to the year end. Commissions receivable are stated at the full amount of the commissions and other servicing fees charged to its customers to broker securities transactions. The Company considers commissions receivable to be substantially all collectible. Accordingly, no allowance for credit losses is required at December 31, 2025. #### *(f) Income Taxes* The Company is included in the Parent's consolidated federal income tax return. In accordance with the tax-sharing agreement, its income tax expense or benefit is generally computed as if the Company was filing a separate federal income tax return. For state income tax purposes, the Company is included in unitary filings with other affiliated entities and may receive a tax expense or benefit as the unitary group's income or losses are apportioned amongst the entities. Federal and state income tax balances receivable or payable are due from or to the Parent. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for all future tax consequences attributable to "temporary differences" between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. {13}------------------------------------------------ Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2025 The Company evaluates deferred tax assets periodically to determine if they are realizable. Factors in the determination include the performance of the business including the ability to generate capital gains from a variety of sources and tax planning strategies. If, based on available information, it is more likely than not that deferred income tax assets will not be realized, then a valuation allowance must be established with a corresponding charge to net income. Charges to establish a valuation allowance could have an adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and financial position. The Company records liabilities for uncertain tax filing positions in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 740, *Income Taxes*, where it is more-likely-than-not that the position will not be sustainable upon audit by taxing authorities. These liabilities are reevaluated routinely and are adjusted appropriately based upon changes in facts or law. The Company has no unrecorded liabilities from uncertain tax filing positions. The Company's effective tax rate would be affected to the extent there were unrecognized tax benefits that could be recognized. There are no positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefit will significantly increase within the next 12 months. #### *(g) Recent Adoption of New Accounting Standards* Effective January 1, 2025, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2023- 09, *Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures* (ASU 2023-09), which requires entities to disclose disaggregated information about their effective tax rate reconciliation as well as expanded information on income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The disclosure requirements will be applied on a prospective basis, with the option to apply them retrospectively. The Company adopted the new guidance on a prospective basis. As a result, the disclosures presented for the year ended December 31, 2025, reflect the requirements of ASU 2023-09. The adoption of ASU 2023-09 did not have an impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The standard affects disclosures only. #### *(h) Intangible Assets* Other intangible assets (value of distribution acquired or "VODA") associated with the acquisition of the Company represent management's estimate of the present value of future business to be written by the existing distribution channel. VODA is being amortized over 16 years based on the present value of future profits to be received. Indefinite lived intangible assets (tradename) represent the present value of future savings accruing to the Company by virtue of not having to pay royalties for the use of the trade names, valued using the relief from royalty method. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not subject to amortization. Amortizing intangible assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of an amortizing intangible asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If the carrying amount is not recoverable from undiscounted cash flows, the impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying amount and fair value. Intangible assets that are not subject to amortization are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The {14}------------------------------------------------ Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2025 impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of an intangible asset with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of an intangible asset that is not subject to amortization exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess. The Company has selected October 1, 2025 as the date to perform the annual impairment test. #### *(i) Long-Lived Assets* The Company assesses long-lived assets for impairment in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 360, *Property, Plant and Equipment.* Long-lived assets (asset group), such as property and equipment and intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is measured as the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its estimated fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values, and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. #### *(j) Advertising* The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expense as incurred. The advertising expense was \$16,254 for the year ended December 31, 2025 and is included in other expenses in the statement of operations. #### *(k) Business Concentrations* The Company maintains its cash balances at financial institutions, which may at times exceed amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Since these are high quality financial institutions, management does not believe that Company is exposed to any significant credit risk on its cash balances. #### *(l) Allowance for Credit Losses* For financial assets measured at amortized cost (e.g., cash equivalents and due from clearing broker), the Company has concluded that there are de minimis expected credit losses based on the nature and contractual or expected life of the financial assets and immaterial historic and expected losses. #### *(m) Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures* The Company adopted FASB ASU 2023-07, *Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosure*s. ASU 2023-07 includes: 1) a requirement to disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, 2) a requirement to disclose an amount for other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition, 3) a requirement to disclose a reportable segments profit or loss and assets 4) clarifies that in addition to the measure that is most consistent with the measurement principles under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), a public entity is not precluded from reporting additional measures of a segment's profit or loss that are used by the CODM in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources, and 5) a requirement to disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or {15}------------------------------------------------ Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2025 loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The guidance has no net impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. #### *(n) Future Adoption of New Accounting Standards* In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, *Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses*. This guidance will improve the disclosures regarding a public business entity's expenses by requiring 1) disclosure of the amounts of (a) purchases of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, (d) intangible asset amortization, and (d) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil and gas-producing activities (or other amounts of depletion expense) included in each relevant expense caption, 2) inclusion of certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements, 3) disclosure of a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively and 4) disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity's definition of selling expenses. The amendments in this guidance will be effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance will have no net impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. #### **(3) Intangible Assets** On January 2, 2019, 100 percent of the Company's stock was acquired by Horace Mann Educators Corporation from BCG. The Company elected ASU 2014-17, *Business Combinations (Topic 805): Pushdown Accounting,* and recognized tradename and VODA assets as a result of the purchase accounting. The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of VODA were \$1,394,289 and \$1,012,251, respectively, at December 31, 2025. The Company recognized amortization expense of \$46,763 for the year ended December 31, 2025. Estimated amortization expense for each of the next five years is as follows: | 2026 | \$
46,763 | |------|---------------| | 2027 | 46,137 | | 2028 | 45,511 | | 2029 | 45,093 | | 2030 | 44,467 | | | \$
227,971 | The Company conducts intangible asset impairment testing at least annually, or more often if events, changes or circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. At October 1, 2025, the Company performed a qualitative impairment assessment. Based on the results of the analysis, management concluded intangible assets were not impaired. Management performed an assessment of qualitative factors through December 31, 2025. There were no events or changes in circumstances indicating that the asset might be impaired. #### **(4) Transactions with Related Parties** The Company has common management with the Parent and receives administrative services from other subsidiaries of the Parent, and is a party to several intercompany service agreements, including one with {16}------------------------------------------------ ## Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2025 Horace Mann Service Corporation (HMSC). The Company also pays commission to its registered representatives via HMSC, an employer service affiliate of the Company. The Company paid \$2,312,667 for management, administrative and professional services in 2025. Of this total, \$1,345,434 is included in compensation and benefits expenses, \$317,009 in clearing firm expenses, \$81,423 in communications and IT expenses, \$103,832 in regulatory fees, \$55,373 in professional fees, \$168,962 in occupancy, \$48,466 in travel, and \$192,168 in other expenses on the statement of operations. Intercompany balances are settled monthly. At December 31, 2025, the Company had a net payable of \$26,074 to this related party. #### **(5) Income Taxes** The Company is included in the consolidated federal income tax return filed by the Parent. Federal income taxes are calculated as if the Company filed a separate federal income tax return. The Company and its subsidiaries file their own state and local tax returns in various jurisdictions. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the current and deferred components of the income tax expense (benefit) from continuing operations are as follows: | | Current | Deferred | Total | |-----------------------------------------------|----------------|---------------|--------------| | Federal | \$
(97,987) | \$
196,026 | \$
98,039 | | State and local | 2,642 | -- | 2,642 | | Income tax expense from continuing operations | \$
(95,345) | \$
196,026 | \$ 100,681 | For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company's domestic income before income taxes was \$318,957. The Company does not have income from foreign sources and therefore does not have any foreign income tax. A reconciliation of the difference between the expected income tax expense or benefit computed at the U.S. statutory income tax rate and the Company's income tax expense is shown in the following table: | | Amount | Percent | |--------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------|---------| | U.S. Federal statutory rate | \$
66,981 | 21.00% | | State and local income taxes, net of federal income tax effect (a) | 2,087 | 0.65% | | Nontaxable or nondeductible items | | | | Nondeductible compensation accruals | 29,160 | 9.14% | | Other, net | 2,453 | 0.77% | | Effective tax rate | \$ 100,681 | 31.56% | (a) State taxes in New Jersey made up the majority (greater than 50%) of the tax effect in the category. The Company recognizes the accrual of any interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. No interest or penalties were recognized in 2025. The following represents the approximate tax effect of each significant type of temporary difference giving rise to the deferred income tax asset: | Deferred tax assets: | | |---------------------------------------|-----------------| | Goodwill and intangibles amortization | \$
1,030,748 | | Employee benefits | 8,885 | | Non-deductible accruals | 29,415 | | Total gross deferred tax assets | 1,069,048 | | Deferred tax liabilities: | | | Fixed assets | 4,499 | | State income tax, net | 2,856 | {17}------------------------------------------------ Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2025 | Total gross deferred tax liabilities | 7,355 | |--------------------------------------|-----------------| | Net deferred tax asset | \$
1,061,693 | For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company received a net refund from the Parent related to the following jurisdictions: | Federal | \$
(166,321) | |------------------------------------------------|-----------------| | State | | | New Jersey | 2,000 | | Other | 1,592 | | Income taxes refund received (net of payments) | \$
(162,729) | The parent and the Company are no longer subject to federal, state, or local tax examinations by taxing authorities for tax years before 2022. As of December 31, 2025, the IRS has not proposed any adjustment to the Company's tax position. #### **(6) Employee Pension and Postretirement Benefits** All of the Company's personnel are employees of HMSC. Salaries, pension and related benefits are allocated by HMSC to the Company for these services. Employees participate, to the extent they meet the minimum eligibility requirements, in various benefit plans sponsored by the Parent. The Parent sponsors two qualified and three non-qualified retirement plans. Expense allocated by HMSC to the Company in 2025 for the plans total \$154,865, and is located in compensation and benefits expenses in the statement of operations. Substantially all employees participate in the Horace Mann 401(k) plan. The Parent matches each dollar of employee contributions in the 401(k) plan up to a 5% maximum – in addition to providing an automatic 3% "safe harbor" contribution. The Company's contribution vests after 5 years of service. Employees who were hired prior to 1998 have a vested accrued benefit in a frozen qualified defined benefit plan. Participants ceased accruing benefits for earnings and years of service in the frozen qualified defined benefit plan in 2002. The Parent's policy for the frozen defined benefit plan is to contribute to the plan amounts which are actuarially determined to provide sufficient funding to meet future benefit payments as defined by federal laws and regulations. All assets for the qualified plans are held in their respective plan trusts. During September 2025, the Parent's Board of Directors approved a plan to effect the termination of one of the qualified retirement plans. This termination became effective November 2025 and was completed in December 2025 with the liquidation of the plan's assets. Certain employees participate in a non-qualified defined contribution plan while certain retirees are receiving benefits under the frozen non-qualified defined benefit plan. The non-qualified plans were established for specific employees whose otherwise eligible earnings exceeded the statutory limits under the qualified plans. Benefit accruals under the non-qualified defined benefit plan were frozen in 2002 and all participants are currently in payment status. Both the non-qualified frozen defined benefit plan and the non-qualified contribution plan are unfunded plans with contributions made at the time payments are made to participants. The Company has no legal obligation for benefits under these plans. #### **(7) Net Capital Requirement** The Company, as a broker-dealer, is subject to the SEC's net capital requirements. Those requirements prohibit a broker-dealer from engaging in any securities transaction at a time when (a) its "aggregate indebtedness" exceeds 15 times its "net capital," as those terms are defined in Rule 15c3-1; or (b) its net capital is less than the greater of \$5,000 or 6 2/3% of aggregate indebtedness. At December 31, 2025 the {18}------------------------------------------------ Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2025 Company's net capital was \$2,547,529, which was \$2,516,411 in excess of minimum requirement of \$31,118. The Company's ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 0.18 to 1. #### **(8) Segment Information** The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a securities broker-dealer, which is comprised of several classes of services, including agency transactions and investment advisory. The Company has identified its Chief Executive Officer as the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), who uses net income to evaluate the results of the business, predominantly in the forecasting process, to manage the Company. Additionally, the CODM uses excess net capital (see Note 7), which is not a measure of profit and loss, to make operational decisions while maintaining capital adequacy, such as whether to reinvest profits or pay dividends. The Company's operations constitute a single operating segment and therefore, a single reportable segment, because the CODM manages the business activities using information of the Company as a whole. The accounting policies used to measure the profit and loss of the segment are the same as those described in the significant accounting policies. The Company's product and services and geographic areas are described in description of business. The following table presents the segment revenue and significant expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM. | Revenue produced by independent agents | \$
8,570,471 | |------------------------------------------|-----------------| | Revenue produced by employee agents | 2,475,423 | | Other revenue | 135,221 | | Total revenue | 11,181,115 | | Less: | | | Commission expense to independent agents | 7,389,609 | | Commission expense to employee agents | 1,113,119 | | Compensation and benefits | 1,345,434 | | Clearing firm | 317,009 | | Communications and IT | 81,423 | | Regulatory | 103,832 | | Professional fees | 55,373 | | Occupancy | 168,962 | | Travel | 48,466 | | Amortization | 46,763 | | Other expenses | 192,168 | | Provision for income taxes | 100,681 | | Net income | \$
218,276 | | | | Other expenses include depreciation, office expenses, insurance, and other service and administrative fees. The following are the other segment disclosures for the year ended December 31, 2025: | Revenue from external customers (see Note 2(b)) | \$
11,045,894 | |-------------------------------------------------|------------------| | Interest revenue | 124,102 | | Miscellaneous revenue | 11,119 | | Total revenue | \$
11,181,115 | | Depreciation and amortization | \$
60,469 | {19}------------------------------------------------ Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2025 The segment assets are presented in the statement of financial condition. There were no expenditures for segment assets during the year ended December 31, 2025. #### **(9) Concentration of Credit Risk** Concentration of credit risk with respect to commissions receivable is limited due to the large number of customers comprising the Company's customer base and their dispersion across different geographic regions. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had no significant concentration of credit risk. The Company is engaged in various trading and brokerage activities in which counterparties primarily include broker-dealers, banks, and other financial institutions. In the event that counterparties do not fulfill their obligations, the Company may be exposed to risk. The risk of default depends on the creditworthiness of the counterparty or issuer of the instrument. It is the Company's policy to review, as necessary, the credit standing of each counterparty. #### **(10) Contingent Liabilities** In the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to litigation, arbitration and regulatory matters. The Company, after consultation with outside legal counsel, believes that the amount for which it could be liable, if any, will not have a material adverse effect on the statement of financial condition or statement of operations. #### **(11) Subsequent Events** The Company evaluated its December 31, 2025 financial statements for subsequent events through February 27, 2026, the date the financial statements were available to be issued. The Company is not aware of any material subsequent events which would require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. {20}------------------------------------------------ ## **Schedule I BCG SECURITIES, INC.

BCG Securities, Inc. is also filing this Exemption Report because BCG Securities, Inc.'s other business activities contemplated by Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5 are limited to effecting securities transactions via subscriptions on a subscription way basis where the funds are payable to the issuer or its agent and not to BCG Securities, Inc.

Our review was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included inquiries and other required procedures to obtain evidence about BCG Securities, Inc.'s compliance with the exemption provisions.
