### REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Members of Churchill Stateside Securities LLC

#### **Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Churchill Stateside Securities LLC as of December 31, 2024, the related statements of operations, changes in member's equity and cash flows for the year then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Churchill Stateside Securities LLC as of December 31, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

#### **Basis for Opinion**

These financial statements are the responsibility of Churchill Stateside Securities LLC 's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Churchill Stateside Securities LLC's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the company in accordance with the U.S Federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

#### **Auditor's Report on Supplemental Information**

The Schedule's I- Computation of Net Capital Under SEC Rule 15c3-1, Schedule II-Computation for Determination of Reserve Requirements Pursuant to SEC Rule 15c3-3 (exemption) and Schedule III-Information Relating to Possession or Control Requirements Pursuant to SEC Rule 15c3-3 (exemption) have been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of Churchill Stateside Securities LLC's financial statements. The supplemental information is the responsibility of Churchill Stateside Securities LLC's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with 17 C.F.R. §240.17a-5. In our opinion, the schedule's I, II. and III are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2015.

# 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

### 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, 2024, the Company had net capital of \$844,629 which was \$744,629 in excess of its required net capital of \$100,000. The Company's percentage of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 27.11%.

# 3 SINGLE REPORTABLE SEGMENT

The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a securities broker-dealer, which is comprised of several classes of services, including Direct Private Placements and Bond Underwriting. 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 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 summary of significant accounting policies. The company derived 79 percent of its total revenues from a single external customer in 2024.

### 4. 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, 2024 were earned from the sale of financial products developed by CSG.

The amount paid to CSG for management services is \$140,375 for 2024, this is recorded in professional fees on the statement of operations.

The Company was allocated \$34,993 for operating expense costs by CSG in 2024, these expenses are recorded in their respective categories on the Statement of Operations.

CSG owes the Company \$977,729 as of December 31, 2024.

### 5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES AND LEASES

Management has determined that no significant commitments and contingencies exist as of December 31, 2024.

# 6. RELATED PARTY RECEIVABLE

The Company evaluated the Related Party Receivable and has determined no valuation allowance is necessary. There are no formal payment terms however the Company will pay the Receivable as cash flow allows at no interest.

### 7. CAPITAL DISTRIBUTIONS

During the year ended 12/31/24, the Company made distributions to its members totaling \$475,000. These distributions were made in accordance with the terms of the Company's operating agreement, which allocates distributions to members based on their respective ownership percentages or other agreed-upon terms.

The distributions were funded from the Company's [net income/retained earnings/available cash flow] and were approved by the members or managing member as required. As of December 31, 2024, no additional distributions were declared but unpaid.

- 2) Compared the Total Revenue amounts reported on the Annual Audited Report Form X-17A-5 Part III for the year ended December 31, 2024 with the Total Revenue amount reported in Form SIPC-7 for the year ended December 31, 2024, noting a trivial difference;
- 3) Compared any adjustments reported in Form SIPC-7 with supporting schedules and working papers, noting no differences;
- 4) Recalculated the arithmetical accuracy of the calculations reflected in Form SIPC-7 and in the related schedules and working papers supporting the adjustments, noting no differences; and
- 5) Compared the amount of any overpayment applied to the current assessment with the Form SIPC-7 on which it was originally computed, noting no differences.

We were engaged by the Company to perform this agreed-upon procedures engagement and conducted our engagement in accordance with attestation standards established by the AICPA and in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). We were not engaged to and did not conduct an examination or a review engagement, the objective of which would be the expression of an opinion or conclusion, respectively, on the Company's Form SIPC-7 and for its compliance with the applicable instructions on Form SIPC-7 for the year ended December 31, 2024. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion or conclusion. Had we performed additional procedures, other matters might have come to our attention that would have been reported to you.
