#### Opinion on The Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition Pantek Partners Advisors, LLC. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as "financial statements"). In our opinion, the **financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.** 

#### **Basis for Opinion**

**These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's 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 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 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 from material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and perfonning 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 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.**

# **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

For the Year Ended December 31, 2021

In the opinion of management, the financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position as of December 31, 2021, and is not necessarily indicative of the results for any future period.

### **Use of Estimates**

Actual results could differ from those estimates.

### **2. Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies - Continued**

### **Accounts Receivable**

The Company considers accounts receivable to be fully collectible; accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts is required. If amounts become uncollectible, they will be charged to operations when that determination is made.

### **Unearned Revenue**

Unearned revenue consists of service retainer fees received from users in advance of revenue recognition. The balance as of December 31, 2021 was driven by cash payments from customers in advance of satisfying our performance obligations.

### **Current Expected Credit Losses**

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 (Topic 326) *Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments*, which significantly changed the way entities recognize and record credit losses on financial instruments such as loans, loan commitments, and other financial assets. The CECL model requires measurement of expected credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost, net investments in leases, and off-balance sheet credit exposures based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts over the remaining contractual life of the financial assets.

The Company, may, at times, have an account receivable related to retainer fees from executed agreements with independent external parties. In some circumstances, significant judgement is needed to determine the timing and measure of progress appropriate for revenue recognition under a specific contract. As such, the Company regularly reviews its accounts receivable for any bad debts based on the nature and contractual life or expected life of the financial assets, the Company's collection experience, and customer worthiness.

#### **Coronavirus**

In the second year of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, the adverse impacts to global commercial activity has continued to contribute to significant volatility in the financial markets. Government imposed responses and other related recovery measures intended to control the spread of the disease have created a variety of unintended challenges and risks. As such, economic uncertainty, changes in consumer demand, disrupted supply chains, staffing shortages, and hybrid working patterns all continue to have a negative impact on many industries. The continued development and fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the ultimate material adverse impact of the COVID-19 coronavirus. Nevertheless, the COVID-19 coronavirus presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to the Company, its performance, and its financial results. At present, the extent to which the coronavirus may impact the Company's financial condition or results of operations in future periods is uncertain.
