The term "public customer" shall mean any person from whom or on whose behalf a broker or dealer has received or acquired or holds funds or securities for the account of such person, but shall not include a broker or dealer, or a general, special or limited partner or director or officer of the broker or dealer, or any person to the extent that such person has a claim for property or funds which by contract, agreement or understanding, or by operation of law is part of the capital of the broker or dealer or is subordinated to the claims of creditors of the broker or dealer Omnibus accounts carried for other brokers or dealers shall not be included in the count of public customer accounts (Item 9a) but shall be included under Item 9b. Only active public customer accounts will be included in the public customer account total. For an accountant to be considered "active" it must have a non-zero cash or securities balance at the end of the reporting period. Omnibus accounts carried for other brokers at the end of the reporting period are to be included in Omnibus account total. 11 ­ Indicate with "1" the methods by which respondent clears its public customer accounts.

Report the total number of public customer transactions executed on a national securities exchange. If basis of count is an actual count, place a "1" in "actual" box. If statistical method is used, place a "1" in "estimate" box. A transaction is defined as an executed trade which results in a customer trade confirmation. Therefore, the count of transactions should be taken from the customer side and should not include confirmation corrections. For count purposes, several executions at the same price, which result in one confirmation, should be counted as one transaction. For investment company securities transactions in which cash or securities are handled by respondent (exclude transactions by others, such as voluntary or period payment plans), a count of trade confirmations should be used to obtain the transaction count. The street and customer side are counted as one transaction. For underwriting transactions, the takedown should be counted as one transaction and the ultimate sale to customers should be counted based on customers' confirmations (e.g., an underwriting of 2,000 shares is ultimately sold to five customers-takedown of 2,000 shares counts as one trade and the sale to five customers counts as five trades.) For commodity transactions, purchase or sale of contracts are to be counted as one transaction and each subsequent closeout is to be counted as one transaction [e.g., five contracts of a commodity purchased in one trade (same price and on the same day) is one transaction, subsequent sale is five separate contracts (different day or price for each is five additional transactions)]. Do not include clearing house side in count. For option transactions, the purchase of an option contract represents a transaction. For commercial paper transactions, both the purchase and sale should be counted as separate transactions. Count may be taken from confirmation or acknowledgement tickets. Items which are not strictly principal trades, such as private placement sales should be included. Repurchase agreement sales and returns should also be included in count. Corrections shall be excluded from the transaction count. However, an error transaction, that is a transaction where the wrong security was purchased and the correct security
