# **BCG SECURITIES, INC.**  
Notes to the Financial Statements  
December 31, 2022

# **(1) Description of Business**

BCG Securities, Inc. (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.

# **(2) Significant Accounting Policies**

# **(a) 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.

# **(b) 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 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:

(a) **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

 Notes to the Financial Statements

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.

(b) **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-1-1 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 following table presents the disaggregated revenue from contracts with customers reported for the year ended December 31, 2022:

| Commissions revenue and execution and clearing costs: |  |
| --- | --- |
| Mutual funds | $533,348 |
| Variable annuities and life products | 306,760 |
| Stock, bonds, and other securities | 181,406 |
| Total commissions | 1,021,514 |
| Selling and distribution fees | 9,454,671 |
| Total | $10,476,185 |

Notes to the Financial Statements  
December 31, 2022

# **(c) *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.

# **(d) *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 doubtful accounts is required at December 31, 2022.

# **(e) *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 Horace Mann 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.

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.

# **(f) *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.

# **BCG SECURITIES, INC.**  
Notes to the Financial Statements  
December 31, 2022

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 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, 2022 as the date to perform the annual impairment test.

# **(g) *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.

# **(h) *Advertising***

The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expense as incurred. The advertising expense was $3,265 for the year ended December 31, 2022 and is included in other expenses in the statement of operations.

# **(i) *Fair Value Measurements***

FASB ASC 820-10, *Fair Value Measurements* which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820-10 applies to reported balances that are required or permitted to be measured at fair value under existing accounting pronouncements. Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

- Level 2 - Other significant observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

 Notes to the Financial Statements  
 December 31, 2022

- Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for investments measured at fair value, based on the statement of financial condition classification.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments. A summary of the inputs used to value the Company’s investment positions as of December 31, 2022 were as follows:

- Money market funds - Based on quoted market prices in active markets.

# **(j) *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.

# **(k) *Allowance for Credit Losses***

For financial assets measured at amortized cost (e.g., cash and cash equivalents and due from clearing broker), the Company has concluded that there are de minimus expected credit losses based on the nature and contractual life or expected life of the financial assets and immaterial historic and expected losses.

# **(3) Fair Value of Investments**

The following are the Company’s investments owned by level within the fair value hierarchy at December 31, 2022:

|  | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Money market funds (included in cash and cash equivalents) | $1,323,548 | $ - | $ - |

There were no transfer of assets between Level 2 and Level 3 during the year ended December 31, 2022.

# **(4) 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 $874,467, respectively, at December 31, 2022. The Company recognized amortization expense of $44,467 for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Estimated amortization expense for each of the next five years is as follows:

| 2023 | $45,093 |
| --- | --- |
| 2024 | 45,928 |
| 2025 | 46,763 |
| 2026 | 46,763 |
| 2027 | 46,137 |

# **BCG SECURITIES, INC.**  
 Notes to the Financial Statements  
 December 31, 2022

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, 2022, the Company performed a quantitative 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, 2022. There were no events or changes in circumstances indicating that the asset might be impaired.

# **(5) 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 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 $2,256,368 for the management, administrative and professional services in 2022. Of this total, $1,163,815 is included in compensation and benefits expenses, $273,503 in clearing firm expenses, $197,324 in communications and IT expenses, $95,023 in regulatory fees, and $526,703 in other expenses on the statement of operations. Intercompany balances are settled monthly. At December 31, 2022, the Company had a net payable of $158,911 to this related party.

# **(6) Income Taxes**

The Company received income tax refund of $100,468 from the Parent in 2022. The following represents the components of the net income tax asset at December 31, 2022:

| Income tax asset: |  |
| --- | --- |
| Current tax receivable | $12,030 |
| Current state tax liability | (3,422) |
| Deferred tax asset | 1,530,395 |
| Deferred state tax liability | - |
| Net income tax asset | $1,539,003 |

The “temporary differences” that gave rise to the deferred tax balances at December 31, 2022 were as follows:

| Deferred tax assets: |  |
| --- | --- |
| Goodwill and intangibles amortization | $1,483,314 |
| Pension and employee benefits | 10,794 |
| Operating loss carryforward | 34,731 |
| Non-deductible accruals | 5,415 |
| Total gross deferred tax assets | 1,534,254 |
| Deferred tax liabilities: |  |
| Fixed assets | 3,859 |
| Total gross deferred tax liabilities | 3,859 |
| Net deferred tax asset | $1,530,395 |

Based on the Company’s historical earnings, future expectations of adjusted taxable income, as well as reversing gross deferred tax liabilities, the Company believes it is more likely than not that gross deferred tax assets will be fully realized and that a valuation allowance with respect to the realization of the total gross deferred tax assets is not necessary.

At December 31, 2022, the Company had an operating loss carryforward in the amount of $165,386 which can be carried forward indefinitely.

12

# **BCG SECURITIES, INC.**  
 Notes to the Financial Statements  
 December 31, 2022

The components of the income tax expense (benefit) for 2022 were as follows:

| Current | $(41,818) |
| --- | --- |
| Deferred | 113,273 |
| Total income tax expense | $71,455 |

Income tax expense differed from the expected tax computed by applying the federal corporate rate of 21% to income before income taxes as follows:

| Expected federal tax on income | $68,443 |
| --- | --- |
| Add tax effects of: |  |
| Allocated non-deductible expenses | 23,285 |
| Provision to return adjustment | (20,094) |
| State tax expense (net) | (179) |
| Total income tax expense | $71,455 |

The Company’s federal income tax returns for years prior to 2019 are no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

The Company classifies all interest and penalties as income tax expense. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has recorded $0 in liabilities for tax related interest and penalties on its statement of financial condition.

# **(7) 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.

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. Expense allocated by HMSC to the Company in 2022 for the plans total $49,427, and is located in compensation and benefits expenses on the statement of operations.

# **(8) 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 minimum required. At December 31, 2022 the Company’s net capital was $2,147,184, which was $2,103,576 in excess of minimum requirement of $43,608. The Company’s ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 0.30 to 1.

# **(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, 2022, 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

13

# **BCG SECURITIES, INC.**  
Notes to the Financial Statements  
December 31, 2022

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, 2022 financial statements for subsequent events through February 28, 2023, the date of the filing of the financial statements. The Company is not aware of any material subsequent events which would require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

# REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholder and the Board of Directors of
BCG Securities, Inc.

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Rule 15c3-3 Exemption Report, in which (1) BCG Securities, Inc. identified the following provisions of 17 C.F.R. §15c3-3(k) under which BCG Securities, Inc. claimed an exemption from 17 C.F.R. §240.15c3-3: (k)(2)(ii) (the "exemption provisions") and (2) BCG Securities, Inc. stated that BCG Securities, Inc. met the identified exemption provisions throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception. BCG Securities, Inc.'s management is responsible for compliance with the exemption provisions and its statements.

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. A review is substantially less in scope than an examination, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion on management's statements. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

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)(ii) of Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

## REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM ON APPLYING AGREED-UPON PROCEDURES

To the Stockholder and the Board of Directors of
BCG Securities, Inc.

We have performed the procedures included in Rule 17a-5(e)(4) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and in the Securities Investor Protection Corporation ("SIPC") Series 600 Rules, which are enumerated below on the accompanying General Assessment Reconciliation (Form SIPC-7) for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Management of the Company has agreed to and acknowledged that the procedures performed are appropriate to meet the intended purpose of assisting you and SIPC in evaluating the Company's compliance with the applicable instructions on Form SIPC-7 for the year ended December 31, 2022. Additionally, SIPC has agreed to and acknowledged that the procedures performed are appropriate for their intended purpose. This report may not be suitable for any other purpose. The procedures performed may not address all the items of interest to a user of this report and may not meet the needs of all users of this report and, as such, users are responsible for determining whether the procedures performed are appropriate for their purposes. The sufficiency of these procedures is solely the responsibility of those parties specified in this report. Consequently, we make no representation regarding the sufficiency of the procedures described below either for the purpose for which this report has been requested or for any other purpose.

The procedures we performed and the associated findings are as follows:

1. Compared the listed assessment payments in Form SIPC-7 with respective cash disbursement records entries, noting no differences;
2. Compared the Total Revenue amounts reported on the Annual Audited Report Form X-17A-5 Part III for the year ended December 31, 2022, with the Total Revenue amount reported in Form SIPC-7 for the year ended December 31, 2022, 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, 2022. 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.

We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements related to our agreed-upon procedures engagement.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Company and SIPC and is not intended to be, and should not be, used by anyone other than these specified parties.
