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.

# **DECEMBER 31, 2022**
# **NOTE A- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies applied by management in the preparation of the financial statements.
# *Organization*
PTS Brokerage, LLC (Company) was organized under the Laws of the State of New Jersey in 2001 and has been registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC and has been a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) since August 2002. The Company sells mutual funds, life insurance products including variable annuities, provides investment advisory services and provides financial planning services to public customers. The Company is registered in fourteen (14) states to conduct securities transactions. Federal, state, and local income tax returns for years prior to 2019 are no longer subject to examination by tax authorities.
# *Estimates*
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United of States of America 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
# *Property and equipment*
Property and equipment are carried at cost.
# *Income taxes*
The Company, a limited liability company, has elected to be taxed for federal and state purposes as a partnership. As a result, the Company is not a taxpaying entity for federal or state income tax purposes and, accordingly, no income tax expense or tax benefit has been recorded in these financial statements. Income or losses from the Company are reflected on the Member's income tax returns.
{11}------------------------------------------------
#### **DECEMBER 31, 2022**
# **NOTE A- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
#### *Revenue from contracts with customers*
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with F ASB Accounting Standards Codification 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (ASC 606). Under ASC 606 revenue is recognized upon satisfaction of performance obligations by transferring control over goods or service to a customer.
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; and whether constraints on variable consideration should be applied due to uncertain future events.
The Company has entered into contracts with mutual funds of their selling agents and others under which the Company receives selling and distribution commissions resulting from the sale of certain investment products to its customers, including the sale of certain classes of mutual funds shares and variable annuities. Selling and distribution commissions are paid up front based on a fixed percentage of share price, the price of investment product sold, or the value of specified transactions and are recognized at a point in time on the trade or sale date. The Company believes that the performance obligation is satisfied on the trade date because that is when the underlying financial instrument or purchaser is identified, the pricing for the transaction is agreed upon, and the risks and reward of ownership have been transferred to/from the customer. A receivable is recognized if the commission is paid to the Company on a date subsequent to the trade date. Under contractions entered into with mutual funds or their selling agents and others, the Company also receives selling and distribution commissions that are paid over time based on a fixed percentage of the average daily balance of the customer's investment in a fund (12b-1 fees). The Company believes the performance obligation is satisfied over time and recognizes revenue associated with 12b-1 fees over the period to which such fees relate.
#### *Leases*
The Company recognizes and measures its leases in accordance with F ASB 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
{12}------------------------------------------------
#### **DECEMBER 31, 2021**
#### *Leases (continued)*
recognized based on the present value of its future lease payments. Variable payments are included in the future lease payments when those variable payments depend on an index or a rate. The discount rate 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 leases is the 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 re-measured lease liability (i.e., present value of the remaining lease payments), plus unamortized initial direct costs, plus (minus) any period (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. The Company recognizes lease cost associated with short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
## **NOTE B - NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENT**
The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission Uniform Net Capital Rule (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 a ratio of 15 to 1. At December 31, 2022 the ratio was 1.066 to 1. The Company complied with the exemptive provisions of Rule 15c3-3 under subparagraph (k)(l). All customer transactions are limited to the sale and redemption of redeemable securities of registered investment companies, the sale of life insurance products including variable annuities, and providing investment advisory services. At December 31, 2022, the Company had net capital, as defined, of \$115,884, which was \$107,647 in excess of its required minimum net capital of \$8,237.
### **NOTED - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS**
Events of the company subsequent to December 31, 2022 have been evaluated through March 27, 2023 which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued, for the purpose of identifying events requiring recording or disclosure in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.
{13}------------------------------------------------
# **DECEMBER 31, 2021**
# **NOTE F** - **COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES**
The Company can be subject to regulatory inquires that result in the assessment of fines or other sanctions. Management has determined that as of the date of the financial statement, no assessment of fines or other sanctions are imposed.
