Organization and Nature of Business Park Walk Capital Markets LLC, (the Company), a Delaware Limited Liability Company, is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), specializing in the brokerage of corporate debt securities. The Company is a whollyowned subsidiary of Park Walk LLC (the Parent). #### 2. Significant Accounting Policies #### Basis of Presentation The Company reports the results of its operations and its financial condition using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). ### Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. #### Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original mature of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2022, the Company did not hold any cash equivalents. The Company maintains balances with banks which may be excess of federally insured limits. Management believes the exposure to loss from such balances to be minimal. #### Accounts Receivable The Company accounts for estimated credit losses on financial assets measured at an amortized cost basis and certain off-balance sheet credit exposure. Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 326-20 requires the Company to estimate expected credit losses over the life of its financial assets and certain off-balance sheet exposures as of the reporting date based on relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company records the estimate of expected credit losses as an allowance for credit losses. For financial assets measured at an amortized cost basis the allowance for credit losses is reported as a valuation account on the balance sheet that is deducted from the asset's amortized cost basis. The Company does not typically have receivables from contracts with customers, and there were no such receivables as of December 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021. {9}------------------------------------------------ #### NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS #### Revenue Recognition The Company follows ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606). ASC 606 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 and 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 obligation, and (e) recognize revenue as performance obligations are satisfied. In determining the transaction price, an entity may include variable consideration only to extent that 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. Revenue from contracts with customers includes: (1) brokerage of corporate debt securities which are booked as Commission Revenue, and (2) fees from Park Walk Europe LLP earned under an Intercompany Services Agreement which are booked as Fees from Affiliated Entities. Commission Revenue is recognized on trade 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 is agreed upon and the risk and rewards of ownership have been transferred to/from the customer. Fees from Affiliated Entities are recognized when they are determined to be earned per the terms of the Intercompany Services Agreement which defines the performance obligations of providing investment analysis and client introduction, which are satisfied when related transactions are settled. There is no material difference in the revenue recorded between the settlement date and the trade date for the underlying transactions. The economic conditions which effect the Companys operations are related to interest rates and overall trends in the economy and credit markets. #### Income Taxes The Company is a Delaware Limited Liability Company and has elected to be treated as a partnership for income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company records no provision for federal income taxes. The Company is a single member limited liability company and is treated as a partnership for tax purposes. The Company does not file any tax returns, but its taxable income or loss is taxed directly to the Member. The Company applies the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification topic relating to accounting for uncertain tax positions. The income taxes topic prescribes a minimum probability threshold that a tax position must meet before a financial statement benefit is recognized. The minimum threshold is defined in the topic as a tax position that is more likely than not to sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. {10}------------------------------------------------ # NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As of December 31, 2022, there are no material uncertain tax positions based on the criteria established under the income taxes topic, whereby the effect of the uncertainty would be recorded if the outcome was considered probable and was reasonably estimable. # 3. Net Capital Provision of Rule 15c3-1 Pursuant to the net capital provisions of Rule 15c3-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company is required to maintain a minimum net capital balance, as defined, under such provisions. The Companys minimum capital requirement is the greater of \$5,000 or 6 2/3% of aggregate indebtedness, as defined, under Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c3-1(a)(1), as it does not maintain customer accounts. Net capital may fluctuate on a daily basis. At December 31, 2022, the Company had excess net capital of \$212,907. In addition to the minimum net capital provisions, Rule 15c3-1 requires that the Company maintain a ratio of aggregate indebtedness, as defined, to net capital, of not more than 15 to 1. At December 31, 2022, the ratio was .27 to 1. ## 4. Receivables From Broker-Dealers and Clearing Organizations The Company clears certain of its customer transactions through another broker-dealer, StoneX Financial Inc., on a fully disclosed basis. There were no amounts receivable from this clearing organization at December 31, 2022. No allowance for credit loss was recorded on this receivable. ## 5. Related Parties The Company has a management services agreement (the Agreement) whereby the Parent provides subcontracted employee services, administrative functions, support services, and the use of facilities for the benefit of the Company. The Parent is legally liable for the expenses that are allocated to the Company through the Agreement. Expenses allocated to the Company through the Agreement are accumulated and periodically forgiven by the Parent. For the year ended December 31, 2022, \$870,550 of expenses were paid for by the Parent and \$870,550 was forgiven by the Parent. The forgiveness of related party debt is credited to Member's equity. {11}------------------------------------------------ ## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS #### 6. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Management has not identified any matters that will have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of future operations. Legal costs, if any, incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. #### 7. Subsequent Events The Company has performed an evaluation of events that have occurred subsequent to December 31, 2022, and through March 30, 2023, the date of the filing of this report. There have been no material subsequent events that occurred during such period that would require disclosure in this report or would be required to be recognized in the financial statements as of December 31, 2022. {12}------------------------------------------------ SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION {13}------------------------------------------------ #### YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022 PARK WALK CAPITAL MARKETS LLC #### SCHEDULE I - COMPUTATION OF NET CAPITAL PURSUANT TO RULE 15c3-1 #### COMPUTATION OF NET CAPITAL: | PARK WALK CAPITAL MARKETS LLC

The clearing broker-dealer carries all of the customer accounts of the Company and maintains and preserves such books and records related to customer accounts. As such, the Company is not required to present a computation for determination of reserve requirements or information related to possession or control requirements under Rule 15c3-3 of the Securities and Exchange Commission {15}------------------------------------------------ ![](_page_15_Picture_0.jpeg) # Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Member Park Walk Capital Markets LLC We have reviewed managements statements, included in the accompanying Park Walk Capital Markets LLCs Exemption Report in which: 1) Park Walk Capital Markets LLC (the Company) states the Company claims an exemption under paragraph (k)(2)(ii) of 17 C.F.R. §240.15c3-3 (the exemption provisions); and 2) The Company states the Company met the identified exemption provisions throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception.

Our review was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included inquiries and other required procedures to obtain evidence about the Companys compliance with the exemption provisions. A review is substantially less in scope than an examination, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion on managements statements. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to managements statements referred to above for them to be fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the provisions set forth in paragraph (k)(2)(ii) of 17 C.F.R. §240.15c3-3.
