#### 1. Organization

FPCG, LLC (d/b/a FocusPoint Private Capital Group) (the "Company") was formed for the purpose of providing services on behalf of clients for the purchase and/or sale of securities in private placements. The Company is a limited liability company established in the state of Washington on April 16, 2002. On November 8, 2002, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA") approved the registration of the Company. The Company is registered as a securities broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is a member of FINRA. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of LANDC Investment LLC ("LANDC" or the "Parent".) The Company does not carry securities accounts for customers or perform custodial services and, accordingly, claims exemption from Rule 15c3-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

## 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

#### Basis of Presentation

The Company's financial statement has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP").

#### Use of Estimates

The preparation of a financial statement in conformity with US 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 statement. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

#### Fee Receivable

Fee receivable is stated at its net realizable value, which represents the account balance less an allowance for balances not fully collectible. The Company's policy for providing an allowance for credit losses on its fee receivable is based on management's best estimate of amounts that will be uncollectible primarily based on the Company's historical experience of collections with its clients and other events that may affect the net realizable value of receivables. The Company provides for estimated uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance. After reasonable collection efforts are made, outstanding balances are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable

#### Credit losses

The Company accounts for credit losses in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ("ASC 326"). ASC 326 impacts the impairment model for certain financial assets measured at amortized cost by requiring a current expected credit loss ("CECL") methodology to estimate expected credit losses over the entire life of the financial asset, recorded at inception or purchase.

The allowance for credit losses is based on the Company's expectation of the collectability of financial instruments carried at amortized cost, including fees receivable utilizing the CECL framework. The Company considers factors such as historical experience, credit quality, age of balances and current and future economic conditions that may affect the Company's expectation of the collectability in determining the allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses was approximately \$236,000 at December 31, 2021 and is included in fees receivable, net on the statement of financial condition.

#### Valuation of Investments and Valuation Processes

The Company holds investments, which are stated at fair value in the financial statement in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification ("FASB ASC") 820, Fair Value Measurement. This guidance defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about the fair value measurements.

To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, the Company utilizes the fair value hierarchy required by FASB ASC 820, which prioritized the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels.

Level 1 - Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2 - Valuations based on inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 - Valuation based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

#### Fixed Assets

Furniture and equipment are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation, which is calculated on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of three to five years. Leasehold improvements are recorded at cost, net of accumulated amortization, which is calculated on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the economic useful life of the improvement or the term of the lease.

#### Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception of the arrangement. To the extent an arrangement represents a lease, the Company classifies that lease as either an operating lease or a finance lease. The Company capitalizes leases on its statement of financial condition by recording a right-of-use asset ("ROU asset") and a corresponding right-of-use lease liability. ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and ROU lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.

ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of an arrangement based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Lease expense for the Company's operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

See Note 4 for a summary of the Company's rental commitments under operating leases as of December 31, 2021, and related disclosures.

#### Income Taxes

The Company is a limited liability company and is treated as a partnership for income tax reporting purposes. The Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") and state tax laws provide that any income or loss is passed through to the Parent for federal and state income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company has not provided for federal or state income taxes. The Company's assets, liabilities, and items of income, deduction and credit are combined with and included in the income tax returns of the Parent.

The Parent is subject to the New York City unincorporated business tax. In accordance with the intercompany tax policy, the Company pays to or receives from the Parent amounts equivalent to the New York City tax charges based on separate company taxable income or loss.

#### 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

#### Income Taxes (Continued)

At December 31, 2021, management has determined that the Company had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition. This determination will always be subject to ongoing reevaluation as facts and circumstances may require. As of December 31, 2021, the tax years that remain subject to examination by the federal, state, local and foreign tax jurisdictions under statute of limitations are 2018 and forward (with limited exceptions).

#### Revenue Recognition

Advisory and placement fees are recorded when earned, which is generally at the time a transaction is completed, unless a contractual arrangement provides for a fee in the absence of closing. Reimbursable expenses allowed under the terms of advisory service agreements are included in "Prepaid expense and other assets" in the accompanying statement of financial condition.

#### Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Revenue from contracts with customers primarily is comprised of placement fees from the sale of private funds. The recognition and measurement of revenue is based on the assessment of individual contract terms. Significant judgment 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 Company's progress under the contract; and whether constraints on variable consideration should be applied to uncertain future events. The Company enters into arrangements with investment managers to distribute private investment funds managed by such firms. The Company generally receives fees paid over time as percentage of capital raised or of the management fees and carried interest distributed to the investment manager, in all cases with respect to investments sold by the Company. The Company believes that its performance obligation is the subscription by investors into these funds and, as such, its obligation is fulfilled upon acceptance of capital commitments by Private Equity Funds, Hedge Funds or registered funds.

Any fixed amounts, such as placement fees calculated with respect to the value of committed capital, are recognized at the applicable fund's closing. Any variable amounts are recognized to the extent that it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur once the uncertainty is resolved. For variable amounts, as the uncertainty is dependent on the fund at future investment points in time as well as the length the investor remains in the fund, or, in certain cases, the duration of the fund (all of which are highly susceptible to factors outside the Company's influence), the Company does not believe that it can overcome this constraint until the market value of the fund, the investors activities and, in certain cases, the duration of the fund are known. Such uncertainties are generally resolved on a quarterly basis for management fees and an annual basis for carried interest all in arrears. Accordingly, in such instances, placement fees are recognized in the current period are related to performance obligations that have been satisfied in prior periods.

#### Costs to Obtain or Fulfill a Contract with a Customer

The Company generally does not incur costs to obtain contracts with customers other than commission expense. The Company incurs commission expense to fulfill contracts with its customers. Commission expense represents commissions that the Company is obligated to pay to broker/dealers and certain non-employee registered representatives pursuant to contractual agreements. Commissions for registered representatives who are employed by the Company are generally paid on a similar basis to the related placement fees received by the Company. The Company records expense and a liability for the costs to fulfill such contracts on a similar basis as it records the related revenue and asset such that the timing of recording the expense and liability match that of the revenue and asset.

#### 3. Concentrations

The Company maintains its cash in bank and financial institution deposits that at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts through December 31, 2021.

The Company transacts business with a limited number of parties. Two customers accounted for 70% of total accounts receivable on December 31, 2021.

#### 4. Commitments and Contingencies

#### Leases

The Company has non-cancelable leases for office space in New York through May 2025. The Company classified these leases as operating leases. The Company's leases do not include termination options for either party to the lease or restrictive financial or other covenants.

Amounts related to leases reported in the statement of financial condition sheet as of December 31, 2021 were as follows:

| Operating leases:                                       |    |           |

## 4. Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)

#### Letter of Credit

The Company has deposited with its Sublandlord a one-year letter of credit in the amount of \$135,460 with automatic annual renewals as security for the Company's leased office space in New York. The letter of credit can be drawn by the lessor in the event the Company defaults in making its monthly rent payments. The letter of credit is secured by an 18-month certificate of deposit amounting to \$135,460 which is reflected as Certificate of deposit on the statement of financial condition.

#### Legal

The Company from time to time is involved in claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Management does not expect that the outcome of any such claims or actions will have a material effect on the Company's operations or financial condition.

On September 6, 2019, a client of the Company filed a complaint alleging a claim of breach of contract and three claims in the alternative. The claims seek damages in the amount of \$218,066 in monetary damages with interest and costs. The Company filed a motion to dismiss and was successful in the three claims in the alternative but was denied dismissal of the breach of contract. The Company cannot accurately predict the likelihood of a favorable outcome or quantify the amount or range of potential financial impact, if any. Accordingly, no adjustment has been made in the Company's accompanying financial statement for this claim.

#### 5. Paycheck Protection Program

In April 2020 and February 2021, the Company received loan proceeds of \$210,300 and \$212,870 under the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP"), respectively. The PPP, which was established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act"), provides for loans to qualifying businesses for amounts up to 2.5 times certain average monthly payroll expenses of the qualifying business. The loan and accrued interest, or a portion thereof, may be forgiven after 24 weeks ("applicable period") so long as the borrower uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent, mortgage interest and maintains its payroll levels. At least 60% of the loan proceeds must be spent on payroll costs, as defined by the PPP for the loan to be eligible for forgiveness.

The PPP loan matures two years from the date of first disbursement of proceeds to the Company (the "PPP Loan Date"). Payments are deferred for a maximum of 10 months after the expiration of the applicable period and are payable in eight equal consecutive installments of principal and interest commencing upon expiration of the deferral of the PPP Loan Date.

U.S. GAAP does not contain authoritative accounting standards for forgivable loans provided by governmental entities for a for-profit entity. Absent authoritative accounting standards, interpretative guidance issued and commonly applied by financial statement preparers allows for the selection of accounting policies amongst acceptable alternatives. Based on the facts and circumstances, the Company has determined it most appropriate to account for the PPP loan proceeds under the debt model. Under the debt model, the Company recognizes the proceeds received as debt, recognizes periodic interest expense in the period in which the interest accrues at the stated interest rate and defers recognition of any potential forgiveness of the loan principal or interest until the period in which the Company has been legally released from its obligation by the lender. The Company deemed the debt model to be the most appropriate accounting policy for its arrangement as the underlying PPP loan is a legal form of debt and there are significant contingencies outside of the control of the Company, mainly related to the third-party approval process for forgiveness.

{11}------------------------------------------------

#### 5. Paycheck Protection Program (Continued)

In May 2021, the Company received approval from the Small Business Administration (the "SBA") for \$210,300 of PPP loan forgiveness, plus \$2,276 in interest. In January 2022, the Company received approval from the SBA for \$212,870 of PPP loan forgiveness, plus \$1,942 in interest. If it is determined that the Company was not eligible to receive the PPP loan or that the Company has not adequately complied with the rules, regulations and procedures applicable to the SBA's Loan Program, the Company could be subject to penalties and could be required to repay the amount previously forgiven.

#### 6. Risks and Uncertainties

COVID-19 continues to disrupt economic markets and the economic impact, duration and spread of the COVID-19 virus is uncertain at this time. The impact on financial markets and the overall economy, all of which are highly uncertain, cannot be predicted. If the financial markets and/or the overall economy are impacted for an extended period the Company's results may be affected. The financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

#### Related Parties 7.

Pursuant to the agreement the Parent will provide the following services to the Company: Accounting/Finance, Operations, Tax, Human Resources, Compliance, IT assistance, Project Management, Business Development, Administrative and Secretarial. The fee for services will equal the current compensation of the Parent employees who during the year predominantly performed services for the Company. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had a receivable of \$145,277 which is included as due from affiliate in the statement of financial condition.

The Company and the Parent also entered into an assignment with a new entity which was formed during 2021. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company transferred investments totaling \$20,549 to the Parent. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had a payable of \$65,079 which is included as due to affiliate in the statement of financial condition.

#### 8. Net Capital Requirements

As a registered broker-dealer, the Company is subject to the SEC's Uniform Net Capital Rule ("Rule15c3-1") of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to regulatory net capital, both as defined, shall not exceed 15 to 1. At December 31, 2021, the Company had net capital of \$324,532 which exceeded the required net capital minimum by \$181,165.

#### 9. Subsequent Events

In accordance with FASB ASC 855, Subsequent Events, the Company has evaluated subsequent events through March 30, 2022, the date on which this financial statement was available to be issued. There were no material subsequent events that required recognition or additional disclosure in this financial statement, except as disclosed in note 5 (PPP loan footnote).
