Englewood, Colorado #### *Opinion on the Financial Statements* We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Parsonex Securities, Inc., as of December 31, 2024, 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 Parsonex Securities, Inc. 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 the entity's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 Parsonex Securities, Inc. 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. *LMffS* ?.C. Uv.lHS, P C. We have served as Parsonex Securities, Inc. 's auditor since 2022.

504,887 | *The accompanying notes are an integral part of this statement.* {6}------------------------------------------------ ## *NOTE 1* - *ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES* #### *Organization and Business* Parsonex Securities, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Colorado on March 7, 2007. The Company is approved to operate as a broker-dealer as a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Company's activities are mainly selling mutual funds and variable annuity products. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Parsonex Enterprises, Inc. #### *Accounting Policies* The Company follows Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), as established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the F ASB), to ensure consistent reporting of financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. #### *Cash* The Company maintains its bank accounts in a high credit quality institution. Balances at times may exceed federally insured limits. #### *Concentration of Credit Risk* Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents in excess of federally insured limits. The risk is managed by maintaining all deposits in high quality financial institutions. #### *Revenue Recognition* *Revenue from Contracts with Customers* (ASC 606) core principle states that an entity must recognize revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of the 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 and services. Included among the requirements of ASC 606 is that the entity must appropriately allocate revenues to the corresponding goods or services and recognize such revenues at the time when the entity has performed under its respective obligations. {7}------------------------------------------------ *NOTE 1* - *ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)* ## *Revenue Recognition (continued)* Revenue from contracts with customers includes commission income and fees from mutual funds and variable annuity products. 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; whether revenue should be presented gross or net of certain costs; and whether constraints on variable consideration should be applied due to uncertain future events. The Company enters into arrangements with managed accounts or other pooled investment vehicles (funds) to distribute shares to investors. The Company may receive distribution fees paid by the fund up front, over time, upon the investor's exit from the fund (that is, a contingent deferred sales charge), or as a combination thereof. The Company believes that its performance obligation is the sale of securities to investors and as such this is fulfilled on the trade date. Any fixed amounts are recognized on the trade date and variable amounts are recognized to the extent it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur once the uncertainty is resolved. For variable amounts, as the uncertainty is dependent on 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 that it can overcome this constraint until the market value of the fund and the investor activities are known, which are usually monthly or quarterly. The following table disaggregates the Company's revenue based on the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations for the year ended December 31, 2024: | Performance Obligations Satisfied at a Point in Time | \$
2,846,061 | |------------------------------------------------------|-----------------| | Performance Obligations Satisfied Over Time | 270,751 | | Total Revenue | \$
3,116,812 | #### *Estimates* The 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 the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. {8}------------------------------------------------ ## *NOTE 1* - *ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)* #### *Income Taxes* The Company is a C corporation for tax purposes and is subject to income tax under the appropriate sections of the Internal Revenue Code and various sections of the state income tax statutes. The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Under FASB ASC 740-10, the Company is required to evaluate each of its tax positions to determine if they are more likely than not to be sustained if the taxing authority examines the respective position. A tax position includes an entity's status and the decision not to file a return. Under ASC 740, deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. The Company has evaluated each of its tax positions and has determined that it has no uncertain tax positions for which a provision or liability for income taxes is necessary. The Company is subject to audit by taxing agencies for years ended December 31, 2021, 2022, 2023 & 2024. #### *Accounts Receivable* Accounts receivable are non-interest bearing uncollateralized obligations receivable in accordance with the terms agreed upon with each client. The Company regularly reviews its accounts receivable for any uncollectible amounts. The review for uncollectible amounts is based on an analysis of the Company's collection experience, customer credit worthiness, and current economic trends. Based on management's review of accounts receivable, no allowance for doubtful accounts is considered necessary. {9}------------------------------------------------ #### *NOTE 1* - *ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)* #### *Accounts Receivable (Continued)* In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments," which introduced an expected credit loss model for the impairment of financial assets measured at amortized cost. The model replaces the probable, incurred loss model for those assets and broadens the information an entity must consider in developing its expected credit loss estimate for assets measured at amortized costs. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective approach with no material impact to its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. #### *Segment Reporting* The Company has identified its Chief Executive Officer as the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") responsible for evaluating the Company's performance and making strategic decisions. The CODM primarily utilizes net income as the key metric in assessing business performance and forecasting financial results. 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 distributions. 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 applied in measuring segment performance are consistent with those outlined in the summary of significant accounting policies. ## *Fair Value o(Financial Instruments* The Company's financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, prepaid expenses, fixed assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and capital leases. The recorded values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, prepaid expenses, fixed assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature. The recorded value of capital leases approximates their fair values, as current interest rates approximate market rates. ## *Propertv and Equipment* Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred whereas major betterments are capitalized. Depreciation is provided using the straightline method over three to five years. {10}------------------------------------------------ #### *NOTE 2* - *NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS* Pursuant to the net capital provisions of Rule 15c3-l of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company is required to maintain a minimum net capital equal to the greater of \$5,000 or 6-2/3% of aggregate indebtedness as well as a ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital that shall not exceed 15 to 1, as defined under such provisions. At December 31, 2024, the Company had a net capital of \$201,123, which was \$185,952, in excess ofits required minimum net capital of \$15, 171. The Company's aggregate indebtedness to net capital ratio was 1.13 to 1. #### *NOTE 3* - *RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS* The Company subleases a portion of its office space to a sister broker-dealer pursuant to a monthto-month sublease agreement. Rental income under this agreement was \$6,000 and has been included in other income in the accompanying statement of income. The Company has a revenue sharing agreement with its sister broker-dealer. The Company acts as a referral source for its sister broker-dealer and receives a fee for revenue generated from referred entities. Fees earned by the Company under this agreement were zero in the current year. The Company has a facilities and management agreement in place with its affiliate whereby the Company is allocated its share of administrative and employee services based upon the relative time and effort spent by employees of the affiliate on the Company. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company paid its affiliate approximately \$571,842 during 2024 which has been included in compensation and benefits in the accompanying statement of income. Financial position and results of operations could differ from the amounts in the accompanying financial statements if these transactions did not exist. ## *NOTE 4* - *INCOME TAXES* The Company records deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, which are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws in effect when the differences are expected to be reversed. The provision for income taxes is recorded as the current tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. There were neither deferred tax effects occurring during 2024 nor a tax liability as the Company is filing its taxes on a consolidated basis. {11}------------------------------------------------ #### *NOTE* **5** - *LEASES* The Company leases office space under a non-cancelable operating lease expiring on February 28, 2026. The Company recognizes and measures its leases in accordance with F ASB ASC 842, Leases. The Company recognizes a lease liability and a right of use (ROU) asset on its statement of financial condition by recognizing the lease liability based on the present value of its future lease payments. The Company uses an incremental borrowing rate of 7% based on what it would approximately 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 remeasured lease liability (present value of the remaining lease payments). The Company recognizes lease costs on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Maturity of the lease liability under the non-cancellable operating lease is as follows: Year Ending December 31 | 2025 | 59,272 | |----------------------------------|---------| | 2026 | 10,029 | | Less effects of present value | (6,888) | | Total
\$ | 62,413 | | Weighted average remaining lease | 2 years | The Company's office space lease requires it to make variable payments for the Company's proportionate share of operating expenses (i.e., building's property taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance). These variable lease payments are not included in lease payments used to determine lease liability and are thus recognized as variable costs when incurred. The total lease cost for the year ended December 31, 2024 was \$57,528. The lease liability exceeds the ROU asset due to an unamortized lease incentive. {12}------------------------------------------------ ## *NOTE 6* - *SUBSEQUENT EVENTS* The management has reviewed the results of operations for the period of time from its year end December 31, 2024 through March 24, 2025 the date the financial statements were available to be issued, and have determined that no adjustments are necessary to the amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements nor have any subsequent events occurred, the nature of which would require disclosure. ## *NOTE* 7 - *CONTINGENCIES* The Company is subject to litigation in the normal course of business. The Company has no litigation in progress at December 31, 2024. ## *NOTE 8* - *FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT* F ASB ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritized the inputs to valuation techniques. Fair value is 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. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset of liability. Valuation techniques that are consistent with the market, income or cost approach, as specified by F ASB ASC 820 are used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs ( other than quoted prices included within Level 1) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability and rely on management's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. (The unobservable inputs should be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances and may include the Company's own data.) There were no levels to measure at December 31, 2024. {13}------------------------------------------------ #### *NOTE 9 - ADVERTISING* The Company following the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expense as incurred. For the year ended December 31, 2024, advertising cost amounts to \$11,223. Source: SEC EDGAR via Adviser Search (https://search.stillhousedata.com).
