Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Partnership's financial statement 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 Partnership in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

Nature of Operations** P.A.N. Securities, LP (the "Partnership"), an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of Portware, LLC (the "Parent" or "Portware"), is a limited partnership whose operations consist of providing access to trade routing software to broker-dealers and their customers. The Partnership's customers consist primarily of registered broker-dealers. FactSet Research Systems Inc., a leading provider of integrated financial information and analytical applications to the global investment community, owns all membership interests of the Parent. The Partnership is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). ## **2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies** ## **Basis of Presentation** This financial statement was prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") which 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 these estimates. #### **Revenue Recognition** The revenue recognition guidance under ASC Topic 606, *Revenue from Contracts with Customers* 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 Partnership's revenue is primarily derived from providing access, maintenance and transactional services ("AMPS") to the broker-dealer community for ongoing integration of their offerings from a licensing agreement with Portware. The Partnership uses contracts as evidence of an arrangement for AMPS. AMPS revenues are recognized when the broker's offering is successfully integrated into a version for a specific client of Portware. Fixed AMPS fees represent access and maintenance fees that are charged on a monthly basis and recognized as earned each month. The performance obligation is providing these services per the contract over the contract period. The Partnership determined that the nature of the promise to the client is to provide daily access to one overall data and analytics platform. {7}------------------------------------------------ ## **Notes to Financial Statement December 31, 2024** ## **2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)** #### **Revenue Recognition (continued)** Transactional based AMPS revenues are calculated based on the number of shares or the units of other financial assets transacted during a given month. The performance obligation is providing these transactional services over the contract period. The Partnership determined that the nature of the promise to the client is to execute these transactions trades on the Partnership's platform. Revenues are recognized as the transactions are completed, however, in circumstances where the monthly and annual fees are in excess of agreed upon thresholds, revenues are annualized and recognized pro rata on a monthly basis throughout the term of the contract. ## **Accounts Receivable** The Partnership had accounts receivable of \$3,218,257 at January 1, 2024 and \$4,063,422 at December 31, 2024. ## **Fair Value of Financial Instruments** At December 31, 2024, the carrying value of the Partnership's financial instruments, such as accounts receivable approximate fair value due to their nature or their short-term maturities. ## **Income Taxes** The Partnership is a disregarded entity for tax purposes and is not subject to federal, state and local income taxes. The Partnership's income is included in the taxable income of the taxable entity that beneficially owns the Partnership. The entity which beneficially owns the Partnership is responsible for taxes on its share of the Partnership's taxable income. At December 31, 2024 management has determined that the Partnership 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. ## **Credit Losses** The guidance under ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses ("ASC 326") impacts the impairment model for certain financial assets by requiring a current expected credit loss ("CECL") methodology to estimate expected credit losses over the entire life of the financial asset. Under the accounting update, the Partnership has the ability to determine that there are no expected credit losses in certain circumstances (e.g., based on the credit quality of the customer). The allowance for credit losses is based on the Partnership's expectation of the collectability of financial instruments, including fees and other receivables utilizing the CECL framework. The Partnership considers factors such as historical experience, credit quality, age of balances and current and future economic conditions that may affect the Partnership's expectation of the collectability in determining the allowance for credit losses. The Partnership's expectation is that the credit risk associated with fees and other receivables is not significant until they are 90 days past due based on the contractual arrangement and expectation of collection in accordance with industry standards. {8}------------------------------------------------ ## **Notes to Financial Statement December 31, 2024** ## **Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)** ## **Credit Losses (continued)** The Partnership has not provided an allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2024. ## **Transactions with Related Parties** The Partnership's Parent provides administrative services under an expense sharing agreement, including payroll allocations and other operating expenses which expired RQDecember 2024. This agreement renews yearly and is reviewed periodically. The terms of the arrangement may not be the same as those that would otherwise exist or result from agreements and transactions among unrelated parties. The balance of \$395,116 in due from related parties on the statement of financial condition represents the net amount due for amounts paid or received on behalf of affiliates. During 2024, the Partnership distributed \$42,400,000 to its Parent, consisting mainly of profits earned in 2024 in the ordinary course of business. ## **Regulatory Requirements** The Partnership, as a member of FINRA, is subject to the SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule 15c3-1. This rule requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, shall not exceed 15 to 1 and that equity capital may not be withdrawn, or cash dividends paid if the resulting net capital ratio would exceed 10 to 1. At December 31, 2024, the Partnership's net capital was approximately \$2,566,000, which exceeded the required net capital by approximately \$2,561,000. The Partnership does not handle cash or securities on behalf of customers. Accordingly, it is not affected by SEC Rule 15c3-3. ## **Concentrations** For the year ended December 31, 2024, approximately 59% of the Partnership's revenues were from ten customers. Accounts receivable from these customers were approximately \$2,346,000 as of December 31, 2024. The Partnership maintains its cash balances at one financial institution but does not consider itself at risk in this regard. The Partnership is subject to credit risk to the extent any financial institution with which it conducts business is unable to fulfill contractual obligations on its behalf. Management monitors the financial condition of this financial institution and does not anticipate any losses on these balances. {9}------------------------------------------------ ## **Notes to Financial Statement December 31, 2024** ## **6. Segment Reporting** The Partnership follows ASC 280, Segment Reporting (including adoption of ASU 2023-07), which requires companies to disclose segment data based on how management makes decisions about allocating resources to segments and evaluating performance. The Partnership conducts its business activities and reports financial results as a single operating segment consisting of trade routing access ("the Segment"). The Partnership has identified its chief executive officer as the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") who uses net income to evaluate the results of the business to manage the Partnership. Additionally, the CODM uses excess net capital (see Note 4), which is not a measure of profit and loss, to make operational decisions while maintaining capital adequacy. The Partnership's operations constitute a single reportable segment because the CODM manages the business activities using information of the Partnerrship as a whole. The accounting policies used to measure profit and loss of the Segment is the same as described in the summary of significant accounting policies. All operations are domestic. ## **7. Subsequent Events** Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date the financial statement was issued. Source: SEC EDGAR via Adviser Search (https://search.stillhousedata.com).
