(A LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY)

#### NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2021

#### **1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

#### Organization and Nature of Business

Churchill Stateside Securities, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (the "Company"), is registered as a broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA"). The Company received its approval for membership on January 28, 2011.

The Company received approval as a Municipal Advisor from the SEC on October 30 2018.

The Company primarily engages in the private placement of syndicated tax credits to accredited investors. Additionally, the Company underwrites Tax-Exempt Bond issues. The tax credits are syndicated by Churchill Stateside Group, LLC (CSG"), who owns the Company along with Stateside Capital, LLC ("SC"). CSG owns Churchill Mortgage Investment LLC ("CMI"). CMI is the mortgage lender on some transactions where the Company is the Bond Underwriter or Municipal Advisor.

Since the Company is a limited liability company, the members are not liable for the debts, obligations, or liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, unless the members have signed a specific guarantee.

## Basis of Accounting

The Company maintains its books and records on the accrual basis of accounting for financial reporting purposes, which is in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and is required by the SEC and FINRA.

#### Estimates

The presentation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

#### Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company defines cash equivalents as highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than ninety days that are not held for sale in the ordinary course of business.

#### Income Taxes

The Company is an LLC taxed as a partnership for income tax reporting purposes, and as such, is not subject to income tax. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is provided in the financial statements.

{10}------------------------------------------------

## **1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued**

The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Under FASB ASC 740-10, Under FASB ASC 740-10, the Company is required to evaluate each of its tax positions to determine if they are more likely than not to be sustained if the taxing authority examines the respective position. The Company has evaluated each of its tax positions and has determined that it has no uncertain tax positions for which a provision or liability for income taxes is necessary.

#### Leases

The Company recognizes and measures its leases in accordance with FASB ASC 842, *Leases.*  The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at inception of a contract and when the terms of an existing contract are changed. The Company recognizes a lease liability and a right of use (ROU) asset at the commencement date of the lease. The lease liability is initially and subsequently recognized as the present value of its future lease payments. The discount rate used for the present value is the implicit rate if it is readily determinable or otherwise the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate. The implicit rates of our leases are not readily determinable and accordingly, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date for all leases. The Company's incremental borrowing rate for a lease is the rate of rate of interest it would have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments under similar terms and in a similar economic environment. The ROU asset is subsequently measured throughout the lease term at the amount of the remeasured lease liability (i.e., present value of the remaining lease payments), plus unamortized initial direct costs, plus (minus) any prepaid (accrued) lease payments, less the unamortized balance of lease incentives received, and any impairment recognized. Lease cost for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company has elected, for all underlying classes of assets, to not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less at lease commencement, and do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. We recognize lease cost associated with our short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company was not under any long-term leases as of 12/31/2021

#### Revenue Recognition

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09 *Revenue from Contracts with Customers*  and all subsequent amendments to the ASU (collectively, "ASC 606") using the modified retrospective method of adoption. ASC 606 created a single framework for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers that falls within its scope. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized upon satisfaction of performance obligations by transferring control of goods or services to a customer. The adoption of ASC 606 did not result in any changes to beginning retained earnings for the year ended December 31, 2021 or net income for the preceding year-end. Services within the scope of ASU 606 include:

- a: Investment Brokerage
- b: Underwriting Income

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

# Investment Banking, Merger and Acquisition \_(M&A) Services:

These services include agreements to provide advisory services to customers for which they charge the customers fees. The Company provides advisory services/corporate finance activity including mergers and acquisitions, reorganizations, tender offers, leveraged buyouts, fundraising activity and the pricing of securities to be issued.

The agreement contains nonrefundable retainer fees or success fees, which may be fixed or represent a percentage of value that the customer receives if and when the corporate finance activity is completed ("success fees"). In some cases, there is also an "announcement fee" that is calculated on the date that a transaction is announced based on the price included in the underlying sale agreement. The retainer fees, announcement fee, or other milestone fees reduce any success fee subsequently invoiced and received upon the completion of the corporate finance activity. The Company has evaluated its nonrefundable retainer payments, to ensure its fee relates to the transfer of a good or service, as a distinct performance obligation, in exchange for the retainer. If a promised good or service is not distinct, the Company combines that good or service with other promised goods or services until it identifies a bundle of goods or services that is distinct. In some cases, that would result in the broker-dealer accounting for all the services promised in a contract as a single performance obligation and the retainer revenue is classified as deferred revenue on the Statement of Financial Condition. There was no deferred revenue as of December 31, 2021.

## Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk for cash.

All of the Company's private placement of investments to accredited investors are of syndicated credits that are 100% generated by CSG. All of the Company's bond underwriting has been on transactions where CMI has been the lender and CMI holds the primary relationship with the sponsor. Therefore, all of the Company's revenues are on transactions where CSG or CMI have generated an underlying transaction.

#### New Accounting Standards

The Company is monitoring and evaluating new accounting standards and will implement all applicable standards as required.

#### **2. NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS**

The Company is subject to the SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule (SEC Rule 15c3-1), which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, shall not exceed 15 to 1. At December 31, 2021, the Company had net capital of \$362,582 which was \$262,582 in excess of its required net capital of \$100,000. The Company's percentage of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 263%.

{12}------------------------------------------------

#### **3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS**

The Company has an expense sharing agreement with CSG, a related party. for operating expenses and management services. All of the Company's revenues for the year ended December 31, 2021 were earned from the sale of financial products developed by CSG.

The amount paid to CSG for management services is \$114,600 for 2021, this is recorded in professional fees on the statement of operations.

The Company was allocated \$33,148 for operating expense costs by CSG in 2021, these expenses are recorded in their respective categories on the Statement of Operations.

The Company had financing transactions with CSG, the Company lending \$1,543,829, net of the amounts charged to the Company under the Expense Sharing Agreement, to CSG in 2021. CSG owes the Company \$2,030,991 as of December 31, 2021.

#### **4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES**

The Company leases office space on a month to month lease.

The Company has evaluated commitments and contingencies in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 450, *Contingencies* (ASC 450") and Accounting Standards Codification 440, *Commim<sup>t</sup> ents* ("ASC 440"). Management has determined that no significant commitments and contingencies exist as of December 31, 2021.

#### **5. RELATED PARTY RECEIVABLE**

The Company evaluated the Related Party Receivable and has determined no valuation allowance is necessary. The terms of the Related Party Receivable are upon delivery of the securities.

#### **6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS**

The Company evaluated subsequent events through March 7, 2022, the date that its financial statements were issued, and determined that there are no material subsequent events requiring adjustment to or disclosure in its financial statements.

The Company entered into an office lease on January 1,2022 for a term of 5 years, at \$28,975 per year, increasing 3% annually.

#### REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Members of Churchill Stateside Securities, LLC

E We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Churchill Stateside ; Securities, LLC's Annual Exemption Report, in which (I) Churchill Stateside Securities, LLC identified the following provisions of 17 C.F.R. §15c3-3(k) under which Churchill Stateside - Securities, LLC claimed an exemption from 17 C.F.R. §240. I 5c3-3: (k)(2)(i) and (ii) **(theu ;::::**  "exemption provisions") and (2) Churchill Stateside Securities, LLC stated that Churchill Stateside C Securities, LLC met the identified exemption provisions throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception.

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 Churchill Stateside Securities, LLC's compliance with the exemption provisions.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to management's statements referred to above for them to be fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the provisions set forth in paragraph (k)(2)(i) and (ii) of Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
