# **BRIGHTCHOICE FINANCIAL, LLC**  *(dlb/a/ TSG CAPITAL AD VISORS)*  **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OCTOBER 31, 2025**

#### *NOTE I - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES*

#### *Organization and business*

BrightChoice Financial, LLC (d/b/a TSG Capital Advisors) (the "Company") is a Tennessee Limited Liability Company established on January 10, 2007. The Company is a registered brokerdealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation ("SIPC"). The Company primarily provides services related to private placements of securities. The Company is owned by JLLA Holdings, LLC ("Member"). As a limited liability company, the Member's liability is limited to its investment.

#### *Cash*

The Company maintains its bank account with Flagstar Bank, N.A., a high credit quality financial institution. Bank balances at times may exceed federally insured limits under Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") coverage. At October 31, 2025, cash balances exceeded federally insured limits by \$89,567.

#### *Revenue from Contracts with Customers*

The Company recognizes revenue from contracts with customers pursuant to F ASB Accounting Standards Codification 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606). The core principle of ASC 606 states that an entity must recognize revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of the 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 and services. Included among the requirements of ASC 606 is that the entity must appropriately allocate revenues to the corresponding goods or services and recognize such revenues at the time when the entity has performed under its respective obligations.

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, whether revenue should be presented gross or net of certain costs, and whether constraints on variable consideration should be applied due to uncertain future events.

The Company receives private placement fees from selling interests in investment partnerships to investors, as specified in subscription agreements, which are recognized in revenue at the point in time when the investor's subscription is approved by the partnership as that is when all performance obligations are satisfied.

# *NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)*

## *Cash and Cash Equivalents*

For purposes of reporting the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all cash accounts, which are not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with original issuance of a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash balances in excess of FDIC and similar insurance coverage are subject to the usual banking risks associated with funds in excess of those limits. At October 31, 2025, the Company had uninsured cash balance of \$89,567.

#### *Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts*

The Company maintains accounts receivable from private placement transactions, primarily representing amounts due from issuers or placement sponsors. The Company assesses the collectibility of accounts receivable and records an allowance for doubtful accounts when deemed appropriate. As of October 31, 2025, no allowance for doubtful accounts was deemed necessary.

#### *Estimates*

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

#### *Income Taxes*

The Company is a single-member limited liability company and is treated as a disregarded entity for federal income tax reporting purposes. Consequently, the Company does not file a separate income tax return. Instead, the effects of the Company's operations are passed through to the member for taxation purposes.

The Company adheres to the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification 740-10 ("ASC 740-10"), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Under ASC 740-10, the Company must evaluate each of its tax positions to determine whether it is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the taxing authority. A tax position includes the entity's status, such as being a pass-through entity, and the decision not to file a return.

The Company has assessed each of its tax positions and determined that it has no uncertain tax positions requiring a provision or liability for income taxes.

## **BRIGHTCHOICE FINANCIAL, LLC**  *(d/b/a/ TSG CAPITAL AD VISORS)*  **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OCTOBER 31, 2025**

# *NOTE 2* - *NET CAPITAL*

The Company is subject to the SEC's Uniform Net Capital Rule 15c3-l, which mandates the maintenance of minimum net capital, as defined, equal to the greater of \$5,000 or 6 2/3% of aggregate indebtedness as well as a ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital that shall not exceed 15 to 1. As of October 31, 2025, the Company had net capital of \$276,040 which was \$267,669 in excess of its required net capital of \$8,371. The Company's net capital ratio (aggregate indebtedness to net capital) was 0.46 to 1.00.

# *NOTE 3* - *RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS*

The Company entered into an expense sharing agreement with an affiliate entity. Under the terms of this agreement, the Company pays the affiliate for allocated expenses such as occupancy, technology and communications, and other administrative costs provided to the Company. Allocated expenses to the Company under this agreement amounted to approximately \$110,646, for the year ended October 31, 2025. Approximately \$41,250 of such allocated expenses were forgiven by the affiliate and are included within forgiveness of indebtedness - related party on the accompanying statement of operations. The due to related party on the accompanying statement of financial condition arose from this agreement.

Financial position and results of operations may differ from the amounts in the accompanying financial statements if these related party transactions did not exist.

# *NOTE 4* - *SEGMENT REPORTING*

The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a securities broker-dealer, which is comprised of investment banking activities related primarily to private placements of securities .. The Company has identified its President 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 2), which is not a measure of profit and loss, to make operational decisions while maintaining capital adequacy, such as whether to reinvest profits or distribute income. 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 summary of significant accounting policies.

#### *NOTE 6* - *CONTINGENCIES*

The Company is subject to litigation in the normal course of business. The Company has no litigation in progress at October 31, 2025 or other commitment or contingencies.

#### *NOTE* 7 - *NET INCOME*

For the year ended October 31, 2025, the Company achieved positive net income of \$178,513, demonstrating improved operational performance and reduced reliance on member capital contributions. The Company generated strong gross revenue of \$1,334,505 from placement fees and other income, with net income after all operating expenses.

Management expects the Company to continue as a going concern and the accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis without adjustments for realization in the event that the Company ceases to continue as a going concern.
