#### **REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

To the Members of Park Madison Partners LLC

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

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Park Madison Partners LLC (the "Company") as of December 31, 2021 and the related notes to the statement of financial condition. In our opinion, the financial statement presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

#### **Basis for Opinion**

This financial statement is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company'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 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.

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2016.

#### PARK MADISON PARTNERS, LLC NOTES TO STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL CONDITION DECEMBER 31, 2021

#### 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

Park Madison Partners, LLC (the "Company") was formed on January 20, 2006 and is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). The Company provides placement agent services primarily to domestic and international real estate investment funds.

#### 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

#### Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue on its management and advisory contracts on a pro-rata basis over the term of the contract, which approximates when services are performed, in compliance with the newly effective revenue recognition rules.

Revenues for retainers received in connection with placement engagements will be recognized as services are performed, in compliance with the recently effective revenue recognition rules. The Company believes services are performed approximately in line with when retainers are received, similar to management and advisory contracts. Therefore, retainers will be recognized pro-rata over the life of the retainer agreement.

Revenue for success fees earned for placement services is recognized upon either the closing of the associated funds, or a written commitment from the investor, as applicable, calculated in either case as a percentage of the capital commitment made by an investor. However, If the Company is still obligated to provide any services post close, revenue will be recognized per the recently effective revenue recognition rules.

In some cases, based on the contract, the receipt of some portion of a success fee may be paid subsequent to the date the success fee is earned. In certain cases, interest accrues at the contracted stated rate for any period in which a placement fee receivable is outstanding. The accrued interest is included in the amount reflected as placement fees receivable. In any event, revenue earned in this case will be recognized per the recently effective revenue recognition rules. No interest has been charged on success fee staged payments during 2021.

## 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

## Concentrations

Two clients accounted for approximately 77% of investment advisory and private placement revenue for the current year.

The Company maintains cash with financial institutions. Funds deposited with a single bank are insured up to \$250,000 in the aggregate by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). At times, cash balances may be in excess of balances insured by FDIC. The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity date of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. At year end amounts over the insurance limit were approximately \$2.72 million.

## Equipment, Furniture and Fixtures

Depreciation and amortization are provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives.

## Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all money market accounts and liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

#### Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements are based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, a fair value hierarchy prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels, as described in Note 3.

{8}------------------------------------------------

#### Income Taxes

The Company is treated as a disregarded entity for federal and state income tax purposes and, therefore, does not record a provision for income taxes, except as noted following. Accordingly, the members report their share of the Company's income or loss on their income tax returns.

The company elected to participate in the NYS Pass Through Entity Tax ("PTET"), which was enacted in 2021. The Company's income or loss is reportable by its members on their individual tax returns.

Income taxes are determined on an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting of income taxes. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

The Company follows the standards for establishing and classifying any tax provisions for uncertain tax positions and recognizing any interest and penalties. The Company's policy is to recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. The Company is no longer subject to federal or state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2018.

#### Use of Estimates

Preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

#### Policy on Doubtful Accounts

The Company records an allowance for bad debts on receivables the Company deems uncollectible. Placement fees receivable are recognized and carried at net realizable value less an allowance for doubtful accounts. It is the policy of management of the company to review the outstanding accounts receivable as well as the bad debt write-offs and collections experienced in the past, economic factors, specific customer information, and

{9}------------------------------------------------

current credit considerations to establish an allowance for doubtful accounts for potentially uncollectible amounts. Accounts are written off when they are determined to be uncollectible based upon management's assessment of individual accounts.

## 3. PLACEMENT FEES RECEIVABLE

Based on the terms of various contracts and the estimated collections, the projected receivables as of year-end to be collected over the next three years are as follows:
