Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies
For a complete discussion of the Company’s accounting policies, refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Basis of Presentation – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. As permitted by the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain certain condensed financial information and exclude certain footnote disclosures normally included in audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, necessary to fairly present the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. The December 31, 2012 Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are comprised of the consolidation of Evercore LP and Evercore LP’s wholly-owned and majority-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries, including Evercore Group L.L.C. (“EGL”), a registered broker-dealer in the U.S. The Company’s policy is to consolidate all subsidiaries in which it has a controlling financial interest, as well as any variable interest entities (“VIEs”) where the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, when it has the power to make the decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE and has the obligation to absorb significant losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE, except for certain VIEs that qualify for accounting purposes as investment companies. The Company reviews factors, including the rights of the equity holders and obligations of equity holders to absorb losses or receive expected residual returns, to determine if the investment is a VIE. In evaluating whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company evaluates its economic interests in the entity held either directly or indirectly by the Company. The consolidation analysis is generally performed qualitatively. This analysis, which requires judgment, is performed at each reporting date.
In February 2010, Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-10, “Amendments for Certain Investment Funds”, was issued. This ASU defers the application of the revised consolidation rules for a reporting entity’s interest in an entity if

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollars and share amounts in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted)
certain conditions are met, including if the entity has the attributes of an investment company and is not a securitization or asset-backed financing entity. An entity that qualifies for the deferral will continue to be assessed for consolidation under the overall guidance on VIEs, before its amendment, and other applicable consolidation guidance. Generally, the Company would consolidate those entities when it absorbs a majority of the expected losses or a majority of the expected residual returns, or both, of the entities.
For entities (principally funds) that the Company has concluded are not VIEs, the Company then evaluates whether the fund is a partnership or similar entity. If the fund is a partnership or similar entity, the Company evaluates the fund under the partnership consolidation guidance. Pursuant to that guidance, the Company consolidates funds in which it is the general partner and/or manages through a contract, unless presumption of control by the Company can be overcome. This presumption is overcome only when unrelated investors in the fund have the substantive ability to liquidate the fund or otherwise remove the Company as the general partner without cause, based on a simple majority vote of unaffiliated investors, or have other substantive participating rights. If the presumption of control can be overcome, the Company accounts for its interest in the fund pursuant to the equity method of accounting.
All intercompany balances and transactions with the Company’s subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Note 3 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements
ASU 2011-11 – In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2011-11”). ASU 2011-11 provides amendments to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 210, “Balance Sheet”, which are intended to enhance disclosures required by U.S. GAAP by requiring improved information about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45. This information will enable users of an entity’s financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position, including the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with certain financial instruments and derivative instruments in the scope of this update. In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2013-01”), which provides amendments that clarify that the scope of ASU 2011-11 applies to derivatives accounted for in accordance with ASC No. 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions. The amendments in these updates are effective retrospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after January 1, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2011-11 and ASU 2013-01 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, or disclosures thereto.
ASU 2013-02 – In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2013-02”). ASU 2013-02 provides amendments to ASC No. 220, “Comprehensive Income”, which are intended to enhance disclosures required by U.S. GAAP by requiring improved information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component, and to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income and their corresponding effect on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The amendments in this update are effective prospectively during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, or disclosures thereto.
ASU 2013-05 – In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, “Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity” (“ASU 2013-05”). ASU 2013-05 provides amendments to ASC No. 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”, which are intended to resolve diversity in practice by clarifying the guidance for the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business within a foreign entity. The amendments also clarify the guidance for the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income for business combinations achieved in stages involving a foreign entity. The amendments in this update are effective prospectively during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently

assessing the impact of the adoption of this update on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
ASU 2013-08 – In June 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-08, “Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements” (“ASU 2013-08”). ASU 2013-08 provides amendments to ASC No. 946, “Financial Services - Investment Companies”, which modify the guidance for the assessment of whether an entity is an investment company and provide additional implementation guidance for the assessment. The amendments also require fair value measurement rather than equity method accounting for noncontrolling ownership interests in other investment companies, and require additional disclosures about an entity's status as an investment company and financial support provided or contractually required to be provided by an investment company to its investees. The amendments in this update are effective prospectively during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption prohibited. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this update on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
ASU 2013-11 – In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists” (“ASU 2013-11”). ASU 2013-11 provides amendments to ASC No. 740, “Income Taxes”, which clarify the guidance for the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The amendments require that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. If a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The amendments in this update are effective prospectively during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this update on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Note 7 – Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value, Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase
The Company, through Evercore Casa de Bolsa, S.A. de C.V. (“ECB”), enters into repurchase agreements with clients seeking overnight money market returns whereby ECB transfers to the clients Mexican government securities in exchange for cash and concurrently agrees to repurchase the securities at a future date for an amount equal to the cash exchanged plus a stipulated premium or interest factor. ECB deploys the cash received from, and acquires the securities deliverable to, clients under these repurchase arrangements by purchasing securities in the open market, which the Company reflects as Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, or by entering into reverse repurchase agreements with unrelated third parties. The Company accounts for these repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements as collateralized financing transactions, which are carried at their contract amounts, which approximate fair value given that the contracts generally mature the following business day. The Company records a liability on its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition in relation to repurchase transactions executed with clients as Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase. The Company records as assets on its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value (where the Company has acquired the securities deliverable to clients under these repurchase arrangements by purchasing securities in the open market) and Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell (where the Company has acquired the securities deliverable to clients under these repurchase agreements by entering into reverse repurchase agreements with unrelated third parties). These Mexican government securities have an estimated average time to maturity of approximately 1.7 years, as of September 30, 2013, and are pledged as collateral against repurchase agreements. Generally, collateral is posted equal to the contract value at inception and is subject to market changes. These repurchase agreements are primarily with institutional customer accounts managed by ECB and permit the counterparty to pledge the securities.
As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, a summary of the Company’s assets, liabilities and collateral received or pledged related to these transactions is as follows:

| September 30, 2013 |  | December 31, 2012
| Asset (Liability) Balance |  | Market Value of Collateral Received or (Pledged) |  | Asset (Liability) Balance |  | Market Value of Collateral Received or (Pledged)
Assets |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value | $ | 84,866 |  |  |  |  | $ | 120,594 |  |  |
Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell | 7,075 |  |  | $ | 7,070 |  |  | — |  |  | $ | — |

Note 8 – Investments
The Company’s investments reported on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition consist of investments in private equity partnerships and other investments in unconsolidated affiliated companies. The Company’s investments are relatively high-risk and illiquid assets. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on the private equity investments are included within Investment Management Revenue. The Company’s share of earnings (losses) on the investments in G5 ǀ Evercore, ABS Investment Management, LLC (“ABS”) and Pan (prior to its consolidation on March 15, 2013) are included within Income from Equity Method Investments on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Investments in Private Equity
The Company’s investments in private equity partnerships include investments in Evercore Capital Partners II L.P. and its affiliated entities (“ECP II”), Discovery Americas I, L.P. (the “Discovery Fund”), Evercore Mexico Capital Partners II (“EMCP II”), Evercore Mexico Capital Partners III (“EMCP III”), CSI Capital, L.P. (“CSI Capital”), Trilantic Capital Partners Associates

IV L.P. (“Trilantic IV”) and Trilantic Capital Partners V L.P. ("Trilantic V"). Portfolio holdings of the private equity funds are carried at fair value. Accordingly, the Company reflects its pro rata share of the unrealized gains and losses occurring from changes in fair value. Additionally, the Company reflects its pro rata share of realized gains, losses and carried interest associated with any investment realizations.
On June 4, 2013, the general partner of EMCP III, Evercore Mexico Partners III ("EMP III"), amended and restated its Limited Partnership Agreement and admitted certain limited partners, which are related parties of the Company. The Company viewed this modification as a reconsideration event under ASC 810-10, Consolidation, and concluded that EMP III is a VIE and that the Company is the primary beneficiary of this VIE. Specifically, the Company's general partner interests in EMP III provide the Company the ability to make decisions that significantly impact the economic performance of EMP III, while the limited partners do not possess substantive participating rights over EMP III. The Company's assessment of the primary beneficiary of EMP III included assessing which parties have the power to significantly impact the economic performance of EMP III and the obligation to absorb losses, which could be potentially significant to EMP III, or the right to receive benefits from EMP III that could be potentially significant. The Company had previously consolidated EMP III as a voting interest entity; accordingly, this event had no impact on the assets and liabilities of the Company. EMP III had assets of $3,882 and liabilities of $35, included in the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition at September 30, 2013. The assets retained by EMP III are for the benefit of the interest holders of EMP III.

G5 ǀ Evercore
In 2010, the Company made an equity method investment in G5 ǀ Evercore. At September 30, 2013, the Company’s economic ownership interest in G5 ǀ Evercore was 49%. This investment resulted in earnings (losses) of ($226) and ($42) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and ($300) and $970 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, included within Income from Equity Method Investments on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
ABS
In 2011, the Company made an equity method investment in ABS. At September 30, 2013, the Company’s economic ownership interest in ABS was 45%. This investment resulted in earnings of $788 and $2,430 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and $796 and $2,418 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, included within Income from Equity Method Investments on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Pan and Discontinued Operations
In 2008, the Company made an equity method investment of $4,158 in Pan. This investment resulted in earnings (losses) of ($55) for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, and ($81) and $131 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, included within Income from Equity Method Investments on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
In 2011 and 2012, the Company concluded that Pan was a VIE, and that the Company was not the primary beneficiary of the VIE. On March 15, 2013, the Company exchanged its notes receivable from Pan for additional common equity, increasing its common equity ownership interest to 68%, from 50%. The Company viewed this transaction as a reconsideration event and concluded that it had become the primary beneficiary of Pan, and therefore consolidated Pan in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of that date. The Company determined that it was the primary beneficiary of Pan because it possessed the power to significantly impact the economic performance of Pan and maintained the obligation to absorb losses of Pan, which could be potentially significant, or the right to receive benefits from Pan, that could be potentially significant. The assets retained by Pan are not generally available to the Company and the liabilities are generally non-recourse to the Company. The consolidation also resulted in goodwill of $3,020 and intangible assets relating to client relationships of $1,440, recognized in the Investment Management Segment. The intangible assets are being amortized over an estimated useful life of seven years.
In September 2013, as part of an ongoing strategic initiative, the Company determined that Pan met the initial criteria to be classified as Held for Sale, which resulted in the Company reporting separately the assets and liabilities of Pan on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition. In November, the Company further determined that Pan met the criteria to be classified within Discontinued Operations. The Company anticipates that a sale will occur within one year. Based on the estimated fair value of Pan, the Company recorded a pretax loss of ($2,718) within Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Further, discontinued operations includes revenues and pretax gains (losses) from Pan of $651 and ($93), respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and $91 and ($1,518), respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The Company recorded assets of Pan of $3,339 in Assets Held for Sale on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of September 30, 2013, which primarily included Goodwill and Intangible Assets of $1,185 and $1,414, respectively. The Company recorded liabilities of $584 in Liabilities Held for Sale on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of September 30, 2013, which primarily included Accrued Compensation and Benefits and Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses of $126 and $412, respectively. Pan is expected to have continuing cash flows related to its normal operations until the time that a sale transaction closes.

The Company allocates the purchase price of its equity method investments, in part, to the inherent finite-lived identifiable intangible assets of the investees. The Company’s share of the earnings of the investees has been reduced by the amortization of these identifiable intangible assets inherent in the investments of $647 and $1,941 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and $649 and $2,045 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.
Note 9 – Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily-available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.
Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:
Level I – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. The type of investments included in Level I include listed equities and listed derivatives. As required by ASC 820, the Company does not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where the Company holds a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.
Level II – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. The estimated fair values of the Corporate Bonds, Municipal Bonds, Other Debt Securities and Securities Investments held at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are based on quoted market prices provided by external pricing services.
Level III – Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.
The following table presents the categorization of investments and certain other financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment.
The Company had no transfers between fair value levels during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 or the year ended December 31, 2012.
The carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instrument assets and liabilities which are not measured at fair value on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition are listed in the tables below.

Note 10 – Issuance of Notes Payable and Warrants
On August 21, 2008, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with Mizuho Corporate Bank, Ltd. (“Mizuho”) pursuant to which Mizuho purchased from the Company $120,000 principal amount of Senior Notes due 2020 with a 5.20% coupon (“Senior Notes”) and warrants to purchase 5,455 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per

share (“Class A Shares”) at $22.00 per share (the “Warrants”) expiring in 2020. Based on their relative fair value at issuance, plus accretion, the Senior Notes and Warrants were reflected in Notes Payable and Additional Paid-In-Capital on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The Senior Notes have an effective yield of 7.94%.
The holder of the Senior Notes may require the Company to purchase, for cash, all or any portion of the holder’s Senior Notes upon a change of control of the Company for a price equal to the aggregate accreted amount of such Senior Notes, (the “Accreted Amount”), plus accrued and unpaid interest. Senior Notes held by Mizuho will be redeemable at the Accreted Amount at the option of the Company at any time within 90 days following the date on which Mizuho notifies the Company that it is terminating their strategic alliance agreement (“Strategic Alliance Agreement”). Senior Notes held by any other holder than Mizuho will be redeemable at the Accreted Amount (plus accrued and unpaid interest) at the option of the Company at any time. In the event of a default under the indenture, the trustee or holders of 33 1/3% of the Senior Notes may declare that the Accreted Amount is immediately due and payable.
Pursuant to the agreement, Mizuho may transfer (A) the Senior Notes (i) with the Company’s consent, (ii) to a permitted transferee, or (iii) to the extent that such transfer does not result in any holder or group of affiliated holders directly or indirectly owning more than 15% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes, and (B) the Warrants (i) with the Company’s consent, (ii) to a permitted transferee, (iii) pursuant to a tender or exchange offer, or a merger or sale transaction involving the Company that has been recommended by the Company’s Board of Directors, or (iv) to the extent that such transfer is made pursuant to a widely distributed public offering or does not result in any holder or group of affiliated holders directly or indirectly owning more than 2% of the Company’s voting securities and the total shares of Class A common stock transferred, together with any shares of shares of Class A common stock (on an as-converted basis) transferred during the preceding 12 months, is less than 25% of the Company’s outstanding Class A common stock. The Company has a right of first offer on any proposed transfer by Mizuho of the Warrants, Common Stock purchased in the open market or acquired by exercise of the Warrants and associated Common Stock issued as dividends.
The exercise price for the Warrants is payable, at the option of the holder of the Warrants, either in cash or by tender of Senior Notes at the Accreted Amount, at any point in time.

These awards will be paid, in cash or Class A shares, at the Company's discretion, in the two years following the performance period, to Senior Managing Directors employed by the Company at the time of payment (subject to retirement eligibility requirements). The Company periodically assesses the probability of the benchmarks being achieved and expenses the probable payout over the requisite service period of the award.

Such commitments are satisfied in cash and are generally required to be made as investment opportunities are consummated by the private equity funds.
On June 27, 2013, Evercore Partners Services East L.L.C. ("East"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, obtained a line of credit from First Republic Bank in an aggregate principal amount of up to $25,000, to be used for working capital and other corporate activities. This facility is secured by (i) cash and cash equivalents of East held in a designated account with First Republic Bank, (ii) certain of East's intercompany receivables and (iii) third party accounts receivable of Evercore Group L.L.C.

Contingencies
In the normal course of business, from time to time the Company and its affiliates are involved in judicial or regulatory proceedings, arbitration or mediation concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of its businesses, including contractual and employment matters. In addition, Mexican, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Canadian and United States government agencies and self-regulatory organizations, as well as state securities commissions in the United States, conduct periodic examinations and initiate administrative proceedings regarding the Company’s business, including, among other matters, accounting and operational matters, that can result in censure, fine, the issuance of cease-and-desist orders or the suspension or expulsion of a broker-dealer, investment advisor, or its directors, officers or employees. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of such matters, particularly in cases where claimants seek substantial or indeterminate damages or where investigations and proceedings are in the early stages, the Company cannot predict the loss or range of loss, if any, related to such matters, how or if such matters will be resolved, when they will ultimately be resolved, or what the eventual settlement, fine, penalty or other relief, if any, might be. Subject to the foregoing, the Company believes, based on current knowledge and after consultation with counsel, that it is not currently party to any material pending proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, the resolution of which would have a material effect on the Company. Legal reserves are established in accordance with ASC 450, “Contingencies” when warranted. Once established, reserves are adjusted when there is more information available or when an event occurs requiring a change.

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Evercore Partners Inc.’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains or incorporates by reference forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, which reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, our operations and financial performance. In some cases, you can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “outlook”, “believes”, “expects”, “potential”, “continues”, “may”, “should”, “seeks”, “approximately”, “predicts”, “intends”, “plans”, “estimates”, “anticipates” or the negative version of these words or other comparable words. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties.
Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements and are based on various underlying assumptions and expectations and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, and may include projections of our future financial performance based on our growth strategies and anticipated trends in our business. We believe these factors include, but are not limited to, those described under “Risk Factors” discussed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included or incorporated by reference in this report. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement. We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all risks and uncertainties, nor can management assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
Key Financial Measures
Revenue
Total revenues reflect revenues from our Investment Banking and Investment Management business segments that include fees for services, transaction-related client reimbursements plus other revenue. Net revenues reflect total revenues less interest expense related to repurchase agreements and the Senior Notes.
Investment Banking. Our Investment Banking business earns fees from our clients for providing advice on mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, leveraged buyouts, restructurings and similar corporate finance matters, and from underwriting and private placement activities, as well as commissions from our sales and trading activities. The amount and timing of the fees paid vary by the type of engagement. In general, advisory fees are paid at the time we sign an engagement letter, during the course of the engagement or when an engagement is completed. The majority of our investment banking revenue consists of advisory fees that are dependent on the successful completion of a transaction. A transaction can fail to be completed for many reasons, including failure of parties to agree upon final terms with the counterparty, to secure necessary board or shareholder approvals, to secure necessary financing or to achieve necessary regulatory approvals. In the case of bankruptcy engagements, fees are subject to approval of the court. Underwriting revenues are recognized when the offering has been deemed to be completed, placement fees are generally recognized at the time of the client’s acceptance of capital or capital commitments and commissions are recorded on a trade-date basis or, in the case of payments under commission sharing arrangements, on the date earned.
Revenue trends in our advisory business generally are correlated to the volume of merger and acquisition (“M&A”) activity and/or restructuring activity, which tends to be counter-cyclical to M&A. However, deviations from this trend can occur in any given year or quarter for a number of reasons. For example, changes in our market share or the ability of our clients to close certain large transactions can cause our revenue results to diverge from the level of overall M&A or restructuring activity.
Investment Management. Our Investment Management business includes operations related to the management of the Institutional Asset Management, Wealth Management and Private Equity businesses. Revenue sources primarily include management fees, which include fees earned from portfolio companies, fiduciary and consulting fees, performance fees (including carried interest) and gains (or losses) on our investments.
Management fees for third party clients generally represent a percentage of assets under management (“AUM”). Fiduciary and consulting fees, which are generally a function of the size and complexity of each engagement, are individually

negotiated. Management fees from private equity operations are generally a percentage of committed capital or invested capital at rates agreed with the investment funds we manage or with the individual client. Performance fees from private equity funds are earned when specified benchmarks are exceeded. In certain circumstances, such fees are subject to “claw-back” provisions. Portfolio company fees include monitoring, director and transaction fees associated with services provided to the portfolio companies of the private equity funds we manage. Gains and losses include both realized and unrealized gains and losses on principal investments, including those arising from our equity interest in investment partnerships.
Transaction-Related Client Reimbursements. In both our Investment Banking and Investment Management segments, we make various transaction-related expenditures, such as travel and professional fees, on behalf of our clients. Pursuant to the engagement letters with our advisory clients or the contracts with the limited partners in the private equity funds we manage, these expenditures may be reimbursable. We define these expenses as transaction-related expenses and record such expenditures as incurred and record revenue when it is determined that clients have an obligation to reimburse us for such transaction-related expenses. Client expense reimbursements are recorded as revenue on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations on the later of the date an engagement letter is executed or the date we pay or accrue the expense.
Other Revenue and Interest Expense. Other Revenue and Interest Expense is derived primarily from investing customer funds in financing transactions. These transactions are principally repurchases and resales of Mexican government and government agency securities. Revenue and expenses associated with these transactions are recognized over the term of the repurchase or resale transaction. Other Revenue includes income earned on marketable securities, cash and cash equivalents and assets segregated for regulatory purposes. Interest Expense includes interest expense associated with the Senior Notes.
Operating Expenses
Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense. We include all payments for services rendered by our employees, as well as profits interests in our businesses that have been accounted for as compensation, in employee compensation and benefits expense.
We maintain compensation programs, including base salary, cash, deferred cash and equity bonus awards and benefits programs and manage compensation to estimates of competitive levels based on market conditions and performance. Our level of compensation reflects our plan to maintain competitive compensation levels to retain key personnel, and it reflects the impact of newly-hired senior professionals, including related grants of equity awards which are generally valued at their grant date.
Increasing the number of high-caliber, experienced senior level employees is critical to our growth efforts. In our advisory businesses, these hires generally do not begin to generate significant revenue in the year they are hired.
Our annual compensation program includes share-based compensation awards and deferred cash awards as a component of the annual bonus awards for certain employees. These awards are generally subject to annual vesting requirements over a four-year period beginning at the date of grant, which occurs in the first quarter of each year; accordingly, the expense is generally amortized over the stated vesting period. With respect to the annual awards granted in February 2012 and thereafter, the Company adopted new retirement eligibility criteria, which stipulates that if an employee has at least five years of continuous service, is at least 55 years of age and has a combined age and years of service of at least 65 years, the employee is eligible for retirement (prior year’s awards required combined years of service and age of at least 70 years). Retirement eligibility allows for continued vesting of awards after employees depart from the Company, provided they give the minimum advance notice, which is generally one year. As a consequence of these changes, a greater number of employees will become retirement eligible and the related requisite service period over which we will expense these awards will be shorter than the stated vesting period.
Non-Compensation Expenses. The balance of our operating expenses includes costs for occupancy and equipment rental, professional fees, travel and related expenses, communications and information technology services, depreciation and amortization, acquisition and transition costs and other operating expenses. We refer to all of these expenses as non-compensation expenses.
Other Expenses
Other Expenses include: a) amortization costs associated with the modification and vesting of LP Units and certain other awards, b) the amortization of intangible assets associated with certain acquisitions, c) Special Charges incurred in connection with exiting facilities in the UK and d) compensation charges associated with deferred consideration, retention awards and related compensation for Lexicon employees.

Income from Equity Method Investments
Our share of the income (loss) from our equity interests in G5 ǀ Evercore, ABS and Pan (consolidated on March 15, 2013) are included within Income from Equity Method Investments, as a component of Income (Loss) Before Income Taxes, on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Provision for Income Taxes
We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), which requires the recognition of tax benefits or expenses on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of our assets and liabilities.
Discontinued Operations
The results of Pan have been included within Discontinued Operations on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Noncontrolling Interest
We record noncontrolling interest relating to the ownership interests of our current and former Senior Managing Directors, their estate planning vehicles and Trilantic in Evercore LP, as well as the portions of our operating subsidiaries not owned by Evercore. As described in Note 12 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements herein, Evercore Partners Inc. is the sole general partner of Evercore LP and has a majority economic interest in Evercore LP. As a result, Evercore Partners Inc. consolidates Evercore LP and records a noncontrolling interest for the economic interest in Evercore LP held by the limited partners.
We generally allocate net income or loss to noncontrolling interests held at Evercore LP and at the operating entity level, where required, by multiplying the vested equity ownership percentage of the noncontrolling interest holders for the period by the net income or loss of the entity to which the noncontrolling interest relates. In circumstances where the governing documents of the entity to which the noncontrolling interest relates require special allocations of profits or losses to the controlling and noncontrolling interest holders, then the net income or loss of these entities will be allocated based on these special allocations.
Results of Operations
The following is a discussion of our results from operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. For a more detailed discussion of the factors that affected the revenue and operating expenses of our Investment Banking and Investment Management business segments in these periods, see the discussion in “Business Segments” below.
We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact of all potentially applicable factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 versus September 30, 2012
Net Revenues were $187.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $34.3 million, or 22%, versus Net Revenues of $153.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. Investment Banking Revenue increased 23% and Investment Management Revenue increased 19% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012. See the segment discussion below for further information. Other Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was higher than for the three months ended September 30, 2012 primarily as a result of higher gains on our Marketable Securities portfolios. Net Revenues include interest expense on our Senior Notes.
Total Operating Expenses were $147.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to $126.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, a 17% increase. Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense, as a

Table of Contents
component of Operating Expenses, was $110.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $21.1 million, or 24%, versus expense of $89.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to higher discretionary incentive compensation, consistent with the overall increase in revenues, the expansion of our existing businesses and increased share-based compensation costs. Non-compensation expenses as a component of Operating Expenses were $37.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $0.4 million, or 1%, over non-compensation operating expenses of $36.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. Non-compensation operating expenses increased compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012 primarily as a result of the expansion of our existing businesses.
Total Other Expenses of $8.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 related to compensation costs associated with the vesting of LP Units and certain other awards of $4.8 million, acquisition related compensation costs of $3.1 million and amortization of intangibles of $0.1 million. Total Other Expenses of $12.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 related to compensation costs associated with the vesting of LP Units and certain other awards of $5.5 million, acquisition related compensation costs of $6.8 million and amortization of intangibles of $0.5 million.
As a result of the factors noted above, Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense as a percentage of Net Revenues was 63% for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to 66% for the three months ended September 30, 2012.
Income from Equity Method Investments was $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily a result of a decrease in losses from G5 ǀ Evercore.
The provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $12.4 million, which reflected an effective tax rate of 38%. The provision was impacted by the vesting of LP Units, which are not deductible for income tax purposes, as well as the noncontrolling interest associated with LP Units and other adjustments. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $7.2 million, which reflected an effective tax rate of 49%. The provision was impacted by the vesting of LP Units, as well as the noncontrolling interest associated with LP Units and the release of valuation allowances for certain deferred tax assets. The decrease in the effective tax rate of the provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was also attributable to lower state and local taxes resulting from a change in the distribution of earnings between jurisdictions.
Noncontrolling Interest was $4.3 million (which includes noncontrolling interest related to discontinued operations of ($0.8) million) for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. See Note 8 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 versus September 30, 2012
Net Revenues were $546.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $118.4 million, or 28%, versus Net Revenues of $428.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Investment Banking Revenue increased 28% and Investment Management Revenue increased 17% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. See the segment discussion below for further information. Other Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was higher than for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 primarily as a result of relatively higher gains on our Marketable Securities portfolios. Net Revenues include interest expense on our Senior Notes.
Total Operating Expenses were $431.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to $363.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, a 19% increase. Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense, as a component of Operating Expenses, was $323.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $64.8 million, or 25%, versus expense of $258.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to higher discretionary incentive compensation, consistent with the overall increase in revenues, the expansion of our existing businesses and increased share-based compensation costs. Non-compensation expenses as a component of Operating Expenses were $108.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $4.0 million, or 4%, over non-compensation operating expenses of $104.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Non-compensation operating expenses increased compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012 primarily as a result of the expansion of our existing businesses.
Total Other Expenses of $28.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 related to compensation costs associated with the vesting of LP Units and certain other awards of $15.2 million, acquisition related compensation costs of $13.2 million and amortization of intangibles of $0.2 million. Total Other Expenses of $42.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 related to compensation costs associated with the vesting of LP Units and certain other awards of $15.3 million, acquisition related compensation costs of $22.8 million, Special Charges of $0.7 million and amortization of intangibles of $3.3 million.

As a result of the factors noted above, Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense as a percentage of Net Revenues was 64% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to 69% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Income from Equity Method Investments was $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease was primarily a result of a decrease in earnings from G5 ǀ Evercore.
The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $37.2 million, which reflected an effective tax rate of 42%. The provision was impacted by the vesting of LP Units, which are not deductible for income tax purposes, as well as the noncontrolling interest associated with LP Units and other adjustments. The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $12.3 million, which reflected an effective tax rate of 46%. The provision was impacted by the vesting of LP Units, as well as the noncontrolling interest associated with LP Units and the release of valuation allowances for certain deferred tax assets. The decrease in the effective tax rate of the provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was also attributable to lower state and local taxes resulting from a change in the distribution of earnings between jurisdictions.
Noncontrolling Interest was $12.3 million (which includes noncontrolling interest related to discontinued operations of ($1.2) million) for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $4.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. See Note 8 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.
Impairment of Assets
During the third quarter of 2013, we recorded a pretax loss of $2.7 million, within Discontinued Operations, related to the impairment of assets Held for Sale in the Pan reporting unit. See Note 8 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.
Further, we considered the criteria required by ASC 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, and ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment”, and concluded that there were no triggering events during the third quarter of 2013 that would have required a Step 1 impairment assessment for our other reporting units.

Investment Banking Results of Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 versus September 30, 2012
Net Investment Banking Revenues were $163.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $133.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, which represented an increase of 23%. We earned advisory fees from 136 clients and fees in excess of $1.0 million from 31 transactions during the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to advisory fees from 147 clients and fees in excess of $1.0 million from 30 transactions during the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in revenues from the three months ended September 30, 2012 reflects the expansion of our existing businesses. Investment Banking Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2013 included $6.8 million and $6.0 million of commissions and underwriting revenues, respectively, compared to $5.0 million and $0.8 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2012.
Operating Expenses were $126.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $106.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $19.6 million, or 18%. Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense, as a component of Operating Expenses, was $96.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $77.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $19.4 million, or 25%. The increase was primarily due to higher discretionary incentive compensation, consistent with the overall increase in revenues, the expansion of our existing businesses and increased share-based compensation costs. Non-compensation expenses, as a component of Operating Expenses, were $29.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $29.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $0.2 million, or 1%.
Other Expenses of $7.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 included compensation costs associated with the vesting of LP Units and certain other awards of $4.3 million and acquisition related compensation costs of $3.1 million. Other Expenses of $12.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 included compensation costs associated with the vesting of LP Units and certain other awards of $4.9 million, acquisition related compensation costs of $6.8 million and amortization of intangibles of $0.4 million.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 versus September 30, 2012
Net Investment Banking Revenues were $477.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $370.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, which represented an increase of 29%. We earned advisory fees from 269 clients and fees in excess of $1.0 million from 95 transactions during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to advisory fees from 255 clients and fees in excess of $1.0 million from 77 transactions during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in revenues from the nine months ended September 30, 2012 reflects the expansion of our existing businesses, including the addition of Senior Managing Directors, and a higher number of fee paying clients and large fees. Investment Banking Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 included $21.4 million and $24.0 million of commissions and underwriting revenues, respectively, compared to $14.3 million and $6.6 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Operating Expenses were $369.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $304.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $65.4 million, or 21%. Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense, as a component of Operating Expenses, was $282.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $221.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $61.1 million, or 28%. The increase was primarily due to higher discretionary incentive compensation, consistent with the overall increase in revenues, the expansion of our existing businesses and increased share-based compensation costs. Non-compensation expenses, as a component of Operating Expenses, were $87.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $82.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $4.3 million, or 5%. Non-compensation operating expenses increased from the prior year primarily driven by growth in the business. The increase in Investment Banking headcount has also led directly and indirectly to cost increases relating to travel, professional and regulatory fees.
Other Expenses of $26.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 included compensation costs associated with the vesting of LP Units and certain other awards of $13.5 million and acquisition related compensation costs of $13.2 million. Other Expenses of $40.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 included compensation costs associated with the vesting of LP Units and certain other awards of $13.6 million, acquisition related compensation costs of $22.8 million, Special Charges of $0.7 million and amortization of intangibles of $3.0 million.

Investment Management Results of Operations
Our Wealth Management business includes the results of EWM. Our Institutional Asset Management business includes the results of ETC, ECB and Atalanta Sosnoff. Fee-based revenues from EWM, Atalanta Sosnoff and ECB are primarily earned on a percentage of AUM, while ETC primarily earns fees from negotiated trust services and fiduciary consulting arrangements.
In June 2013, the Company held a fourth and final closing on EMCP III, a private equity fund focused on middle market investments in Mexico. See Note 8 of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.
ECP II earns management fees of 1% of invested capital. Pursuant to an amendment to the Evercore Capital Partners L.P. and its affiliate’s Partnership Agreement, no management fees are earned by the Company. We earn management fees on EMCP II and EMCP III of 2.0% per annum of committed capital during its investment period, and 2.0% per annum on net funded capital thereafter. In addition, the general partner of the private equity funds earns carried interest of 20% based on the fund’s performance, provided it exceeds preferred return hurdles to its limited partners. We own 8%-9% of the carried interest

earned by the general partner of ECP II. A significant portion of any gains recognized related to ECP II, EMCP II and EMCP III, and any carried interest recognized by them, are distributed to certain of our private equity professionals.
In the event the funds perform below certain thresholds we may be obligated to repay certain carried interest previously distributed. As of September 30, 2013, we had $2.7 million of previously received carried interest that may be subject to repayment.
We made equity method investments in G5 ǀ Evercore and ABS during the fourth quarters of 2010 and 2011, respectively, the results of which are included within Income from Equity Method Investments.
Assets Under Management
AUM for our Investment Management business of $13.2 billion at September 30, 2013 increased from $12.1 billion at December 31, 2012. The amounts of AUM presented in the table below reflect the assets for which we charge a management fee. These assets reflect the fair value of assets managed on behalf of Institutional Asset Management and Wealth Management clients, and the amount of either invested or committed capital to the Private Equity funds. As defined in ASC 820, valuations performed for Level I investments are based on quoted prices obtained from active markets generated by third parties and Level II investments are valued through the use of models based on either direct or indirect observable inputs in the use of models or other valuation methodologies performed by third parties to determine fair value. For both the Level I and Level II investments, we obtain both active quotes from nationally recognized exchanges and third-party pricing services to determine market or fair value quotes, respectively. Wealth Management maintained 63% and 60% of Level I investments and 37% and 40% of Level II investments as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, and Institutional Asset Management maintained 90% and 89% of Level I investments and 10% and 11% of Level II investments as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. As noted above, Private Equity AUM is not presented at fair market value, but reported at either invested or committed capital in line with fee arrangements. Private Equity assets represent primarily Level III investments. The following table summarizes AUM activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2013:

Note: Amounts above exclude AUM associated with Pan. Results for Pan were reclassified to Discontinued Operations during the third quarter of 2013.
AUM increased from December 31, 2012 primarily due to market appreciation in Institutional Asset Management and Wealth Management, partially offset by net outflows in Institutional Asset Management.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 versus September 30, 2012
Net Investment Management Revenues were $23.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $19.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. Fee-based revenues earned from the management of client portfolios and other investment advisory services increased 7% from the three months ended September 30, 2012, primarily reflecting an increase in AUM in Wealth Management, which includes our acquisition of Mt. Eden during the fourth quarter of 2012 and higher fees from Private Equity. Fee-based revenues included $0.02 million of revenues from performance fees during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $0.05 million during the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Table of Contents
Realized and Unrealized Gains increased from the prior year primarily resulting from gains in our private equity funds, which were principally driven by additional carried interest earned from Trilantic. Income from Equity Method Investments decreased from the three months ended September 30, 2012.
Operating Expenses were $21.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $19.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $1.8 million, or 9%.

The increase was due primarily to our acquisition of Mt. Eden during the fourth quarter of 2012. Non-compensation expenses, as a component of Operating Expenses, were $7.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $7.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $0.1 million, or 1%.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 versus September 30, 2012
Net Investment Management Revenues were $68.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $58.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Fee-based revenues earned from the management of client portfolios and other investment advisory services increased 7% from the nine months ended September 30, 2012, primarily reflecting an increase in AUM in Wealth Management, which includes our acquisition of Mt.

Fee-based revenues included $0.4 million of revenues from performance fees during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Realized and Unrealized Gains increased from the prior year primarily resulting from gains in our private equity funds, which were principally driven by unrealized gains on portfolio companies in the U.S. and Mexico, as well as additional carried interest earned from Trilantic, and increased gains in Institutional Asset Management. Income from Equity Method Investments decreased from the nine months ended September 30, 2012 primarily as a result of an increase in losses from our investment in G5 ǀ Evercore.
Operating Expenses were $61.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $58.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $3.4 million, or 6%.

Cash Flows
Our operating cash flows are primarily influenced by the timing and receipt of investment banking and investment management fees, and the payment of operating expenses, including bonuses to our employees and interest expense on our Senior Notes. Investment Banking advisory fees are generally collected within 90 days of billing. However, placement fees may be collected within 180 days of billing, with certain fees being collected in a period exceeding one year. Management fees from our private equity investment management activities are generally billed in advance but collected at the end of a half year period from billing. Fees from our Wealth Management and Institutional Asset Management businesses are generally billed and collected within 90 days. We traditionally pay a substantial portion of incentive compensation to personnel in the Investment Banking business and to executive officers during the first three months of each calendar year with respect to the prior year’s results. Our investing and financing cash flows are primarily influenced by activities to deploy capital to fund investments and acquisitions, raise capital through the issuance of stock or debt, repurchase of outstanding Class A shares, and/or noncontrolling interest in Evercore LP, as well as our other subsidiaries, payment of dividends and other periodic distributions to our stakeholders. We generally make dividend payments and other distributions on a quarterly basis. A summary of our operating, investing and financing cash flows is as follows:

Operating activities resulted in a net inflow of $47.0 million, primarily related to earnings, offset by an increase in accounts receivable and a decrease in accrued compensation and benefits. Cash of $28.2 million was provided by investing activities primarily related to net proceeds from maturities and sales of our marketable securities, offset by fixed assets purchased, primarily related to new office space in the UK. Financing activities during the period used cash of $96.8 million, primarily for the payment of dividends, distributions to noncontrolling interest holders and treasury stock purchases.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
Our current assets include Cash and Cash Equivalents, Marketable Securities and Accounts Receivable relating to Investment Banking and Investment Management revenues. Our current liabilities include accrued expenses and accrued employee compensation. We traditionally have made payments for employee bonus awards and year-end distributions to partners in the first quarter of the year with respect to the prior year’s results. Cash distributions related to partnership tax allocations are made to the partners of Evercore LP in accordance with our corporate estimated payment calendar; these payments are made prior to the end of each calendar quarter. In addition, dividends on Class A Shares are paid when and if declared by the Board of Directors, which is generally quarterly.
We regularly monitor our liquidity position, including cash, other significant working capital, current assets and liabilities, long-term liabilities, lease commitments and related fixed assets, principal investment commitments related to our Investment Management business, dividends on Class A Shares, partnership distributions and other capital transactions, as well as other matters relating to liquidity and compliance with regulatory requirements. Our liquidity is highly dependent on our revenue stream from our operations, principally from our Investment Banking business, which is a function of closing transactions and earning success fees, the timing and realization of which is irregular and dependent upon factors that are not subject to our control. Our revenue stream funds the payment of our expenses, including annual bonus payments, a portion of which are guaranteed, interest expense on our Senior Notes and income taxes. Payments made for income taxes may be reduced by deductions taken for the increase in tax basis of our investment in Evercore LP. These tax deductions, when realized, require payment under our long-term liability, Amounts Due Pursuant to Tax Receivable Agreements. We intend to fund these payments from cash and cash equivalents on hand, principally derived from cash flows from operations. These tax deductions, when realized, will result in cash otherwise required to satisfy tax obligations becoming available for other

purposes. Our Management Committee meets regularly to monitor our liquidity and cash positions against our short and long-term obligations, as well as our capital requirements and commitments. The result of this review contributes to management’s recommendation to the Board of Directors as to the level of quarterly dividend payments, if any.
As a financial services firm, our businesses are materially affected by conditions in the global financial markets and economic conditions throughout the world. Revenue generated by our advisory activities is related to the number and value of the transactions in which we are involved. During periods of unfavorable market or economic conditions, the number and value of M&A transactions generally decrease, and they generally increase during periods of favorable market or economic conditions. Restructuring activity generally is counter-cyclical to M&A activity. In addition, during periods of unfavorable market conditions our Investment Management business may be impacted by reduced equity valuations and generate relatively lower revenue because fees we receive typically are in part based on the market value of underlying publicly-traded securities. Our profitability may also be adversely affected by our fixed costs and the possibility that we would be unable to scale back other costs within a time frame and in an amount sufficient to match any decreases in revenue relating to changes in market and economic conditions. Reduced equity valuations resulting from future adverse economic events and/or market conditions may impact our performance and may result in future net redemptions of AUM from our clients, which would generally result in lower revenues and cash flows. For a further discussion of risks related to our business, refer to “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
We periodically repurchase Class A Shares and/or LP Units into Treasury in order to reduce the dilutive effect of equity awards granted. In addition, we may, from time to time purchase noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries.
In October 2012, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional 5 million Class A Shares and/or LP Units for up to $125.0 million. Under this share repurchase program, shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions, in privately-negotiated transactions or otherwise. The timing and the actual amount of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including legal requirements, price and economic and market conditions. This program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not have a specified expiration date. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we repurchased 1,483,361 shares and LP Units for $55.0 million pursuant to our repurchase program.
On October 23, 2013 our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of additional Class A Shares and/or LP so that going forward Evercore will be able to repurchase an aggregate of 5 million Class A Shares and/or LP Units for up to $250.0 million. Under this share repurchase program, shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions, in privately-negotiated transactions or otherwise. The timing and the actual amount of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including legal requirements, price and economic and market conditions. This program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not have a specified expiration date.
In addition, periodically, we buy shares into treasury from our employees in order to allow them to satisfy their minimum tax requirements for share deliveries under our share equity plan. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we repurchased 932,395 shares for $36.0 million primarily related to minimum tax withholding requirements of share deliveries.
During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we entered into a commitment to purchase, at fair value, all of the noncontrolling interest in ETC for $7.9 million. This purchase was settled on July 19, 2013.
On August 21, 2008, we entered into a Purchase Agreement with Mizuho pursuant to which Mizuho purchased from us $120.0 million principal amount of Senior Notes and Warrants to purchase 5,454,545 Class A Shares at $22.00 per share expiring in 2020. The holder of the Senior Notes may require us to purchase, for cash, all or any portion of the holder’s Senior Notes upon a change of control of the Company for a price equal to the Accreted Amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Senior Notes held by Mizuho will be redeemable at the Accreted Amount at our option at any time within 90 days following the date on which Mizuho notifies us that it is terminating their Strategic Alliance Agreement. Senior Notes held by any holder other than Mizuho will be redeemable at the Accreted Amount (plus accrued and unpaid interest) at our option at any time. In the event of a default under the indenture, the trustee or holders of 33 1/3% of the Senior Notes may declare that the Accreted Amount is immediately due and payable.
Pursuant to the agreement, Mizuho may transfer (A) the Senior Notes (i) with the Company’s consent, (ii) to a permitted transferee, or (iii) to the extent that such transfer does not result in any holder or group of affiliated holders directly or indirectly owning more than 15% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes, and (B) the Warrants (i) with the Company’s consent, (ii) to a permitted transferee, (iii) pursuant to a tender or exchange offer, or a merger or sale transaction involving the Company that has been recommended by the Company’s Board of Directors, or (iv) to the extent that such transfer is made pursuant to a widely distributed public offering or does not result in any holder or group of affiliated holders directly or indirectly owning more than 2% of the Company’s voting securities and the total shares of Class A common stock transferred, together with any shares of shares of Class A common stock (on an as-converted basis) transferred during the preceding 12 months, is less than 25% of the Company’s outstanding Class A common stock. The Company has a right of first

offer on any proposed transfer by Mizuho of the Warrants, Common Stock purchased in the open market or acquired by exercise of the Warrants and associated Common Stock issued as dividends.
The exercise price for the Warrants is payable, at the option of the holder of the Warrants, either in cash or by tender of Senior Notes at the Accreted Amount, at any point in time.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement with Mizuho, Evercore is subject to certain nonfinancial covenants. As of September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all of these covenants.
We have made certain capital commitments, with respect to our investment activities, as well as commitments related to redeemable noncontrolling interest and contingent consideration from our acquisitions, which are included in the Contractual Obligations section below.
On June 27, 2013, we established a $25.0 million line of credit with First Republic Bank for funding working capital and other corporate activities. This facility is secured with certain of our Accounts Receivable outstanding from the date of the agreement and/or restricted cash included in Other Assets on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The interest rate on this facility is the U.S. prime rate. There have been no monies drawn on this facility as of September 30, 2013.
ECB maintains a line of credit with BBVA Bancomer to fund its trading activities on an intra-day and overnight basis. The intra-day facility is approximately $11.4 million and is secured with trading securities when used on an overnight basis. No interest is charged on the intra-day facility. The overnight facility is charged the Inter-Bank Balance Interest Rate plus 10 basis points and is secured with trading securities. There have been no significant monies drawn on ECB’s line of credit since August 10, 2006. The line of credit is renewable annually.
Pursuant to deferred compensation and deferred consideration arrangements, we are obligated to make cash payments in future periods. For further information see Note 14 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Certain of our subsidiaries are regulated entities and are subject to capital requirements. For further information see Note 16 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Collateralized Financing Activity at ECB
ECB enters into repurchase agreements with clients seeking overnight money market returns whereby ECB transfers to the clients Mexican government securities in exchange for cash and concurrently agrees to repurchase the securities at a future date for an amount equal to the cash exchanged plus a stipulated premium or interest factor. ECB deploys the cash received from, and acquires the securities deliverable to, clients under these repurchase arrangements by purchasing securities in the open market or by entering into reverse repurchase agreements with unrelated third parties. We account for these repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements as collateralized financing transactions. We record a liability on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition in relation to repurchase transactions executed with clients as Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase. We record as assets on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value (where we have acquired the securities deliverable to clients under these repurchase arrangements by purchasing securities in the open market) and Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell (where we have acquired the securities deliverable to clients under these repurchase agreements by entering into reverse repurchase agreements with unrelated third parties). These Mexican government securities included in Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition have an estimated average time to maturity of approximately 1.7 years, as of September 30, 2013, and are pledged as collateral against repurchase agreements, which are collateralized financing agreements. Generally, collateral is posted equal to the contract value at inception and is subject to market changes. These repurchase agreements are primarily with institutional customer accounts managed by ECB, generally mature within one business day and permit the counterparty to pledge the securities. Increases and decreases in asset and liability levels related to these transactions are a function of growth in ECB’s AUM, as well as clients’ investment allocations requiring positioning in repurchase transactions.
ECB has procedures in place to monitor the daily risk limits for positions taken, as well as the credit risk based on the collateral pledged under these agreements against their contract value from inception to maturity date. The daily risk measure is Value at Risk (“VaR”), which is a statistical measure, at a 98% confidence level, of the potential daily losses from adverse market movements in an ordinary market environment based on a historical simulation using the prior year’s historical data. ECB’s Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”) has established a policy to maintain VaR at levels below 0.1% of the value of the portfolio. If at any point in time the threshold is exceeded, ECB personnel are alerted by an automated interface with ECB’s trading systems and begin to make adjustments in the portfolio in order to mitigate the risk and bring the portfolio
42

Table of Contents
in compliance. Concurrently, ECB personnel must notify the Risk Management Committee of the variance and the actions taken to reduce the exposure to loss.
In addition to monitoring VaR, ECB periodically performs discrete stress tests (“Stress Tests”) to assure that the level of potential losses that would arise from extreme market movements that may not be anticipated by VaR measures are within acceptable levels. The table below includes a key stress test monitored by the Committee, noted as the sensitivity to a 100 basis point change in interest rates. This analysis assists ECB in understanding the impact of an extreme move in rates, assuring the Collateralized Financing portfolio is structured to maintain risk at an acceptable level, even in extreme circumstances.
The Committee meets monthly to analyze the overall market risk exposure based on positions taken, as well as the credit risk, based on the collateral pledged under these agreements against the contract value from inception to maturity date. In these meetings the Committee evaluates risk from an operating perspective, VaR, and an exceptional perspective, Stress Tests, to determine the appropriate level of risk limits in the current environment.
We periodically assess the collectability or credit quality related to securities purchased under agreements to resell.
As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, a summary of ECB’s assets, liabilities and risk measures related to its collateralized financing activities is as follows:

| September 30, 2013 |  | December 31, 2012

Contractual Obligations
For a complete discussion of our contractual obligations, refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
As of September 30, 2013, we were unable to make reasonably reliable estimates of the period of cash settlement with the respective taxing authority, hence, per ASC 740, unrecognized tax benefits have been excluded from this disclosure.
We had total commitments (not reflected on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition) relating to future capital contributions to the private equity funds of $10.2 million ($4.5 million of which relates to a capital commitment to Trilantic that the Company agreed to in April 2013) and $7.1 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. We expect to fund these commitments with cash flows from operations. We may be required to fund these commitments at any time through June 2022, depending on the timing and level of investments by our private equity funds.
We also have commitments related to our redeemable noncontrolling interests. The value of our redeemable noncontrolling interests, which principally includes noncontrolling interests held by the principals of EWM, Atalanta Sosnoff and Trilantic, increased from $49.7 million as of December 31, 2012 to $49.9 million as of September 30, 2013, as recorded on

Table of Contents
our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. See Note 12 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not invest in any off-balance sheet vehicles that provide liquidity, capital resources, market or credit risk support, or engage in any leasing activities that expose us to any liability that is not reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Market Risk and Credit Risk
We, in general, are not a capital-intensive organization and as such, are not subject to significant market or credit risks. Nevertheless, we have established procedures to assess both the market and credit risk, as well as specific investment risk, exchange rate risk and credit risk related to receivables.
Market and Investment Risk
Institutional Asset Management
We invest in funds managed by EWM and G5 ǀ Evercore. These funds principally hold readily-marketable investment securities. As of September 30, 2013, the fair value of our investments with these products, based on closing prices, was $11.8 million.
We estimate that a hypothetical 10% adverse change in the market value of the investments would have resulted in a decrease in pre-tax income of approximately $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013.
See “-Liquidity and Capital Resources” above for a discussion of collateralized financing transactions at ECB.
Private Equity Funds
Through our principal investments in our private equity funds and our ability to earn carried interest from these funds, we face exposure to changes in the estimated fair value of the companies in which these funds invest. Our professionals devote considerable time and resources to work closely with the portfolio company’s management to assist in designing a business strategy, allocating capital and other resources and evaluating expansion or acquisition opportunities. On a quarterly basis, we perform a comprehensive analysis and valuation of all of the portfolio companies. Our analysis includes reviewing the current market conditions and valuations of each portfolio company. Valuations and analysis regarding our investments in CSI Capital and Trilantic are performed by their respective professionals, and thus we are not involved in determining the fair value for the portfolio companies of such funds.
We estimate that a hypothetical 10% adverse change in the value of the private equity funds would have resulted in a decrease in pre-tax income of approximately $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013.
Exchange Rate Risk
We have foreign operations, through our subsidiaries and affiliates, in Mexico, the United Kingdom, Brazil, Canada and Hong Kong, which creates foreign exchange rate risk. Their respective functional currencies are the Mexican peso, British pound sterling, Brazilian real, Canadian dollar and Hong Kong dollar. We have not entered into any transactions to hedge our exposure to these foreign exchange fluctuations through the use of derivative instruments or otherwise. An appreciation or depreciation of any of these currencies relative to the U.S. dollar would result in an adverse or beneficial impact to our financial results. A significant portion of our Latin American revenues have been, and will continue to be, derived from contracts denominated in Mexican pesos and Evercore Europe’s revenue and expenses are denominated primarily in British pounds sterling and euro. Historically, the value of these foreign currencies has fluctuated relative to the U.S. dollar. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the net impact of the fluctuation of foreign currencies recorded in Other Comprehensive Income within the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income was ($0.8) million. It is currently not our intention to hedge our foreign currency exposure, and we will reevaluate this policy from time to time.
Credit Risks
We maintain cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions with high credit ratings. At times, we may maintain deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured (“FDIC”) limits. However, we believe that we are not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institution in which those deposits are held.
44

Table of Contents
Accounts Receivable consists primarily of advisory fees and expense reimbursements billed to our clients. Receivables are reported net of any allowance for doubtful accounts. We maintain an allowance for bad debts to provide coverage for probable losses from our customer receivables and derive the estimate through specific identification for the allowance for doubtful accounts and an assessment of the client’s creditworthiness. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, total receivables amounted to $57.8 million and $89.1 million, respectively, net of an allowance. The Investment Banking and Investment Management receivables collection periods generally are within 90 days of invoice, with the exception of placement fees, which are generally collected within 180 days of invoice. The collection period for restructuring transactions and private equity fee receivables may exceed 90 days. We recorded minimal bad debt expense for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
With respect to our Marketable Securities portfolio, which is comprised primarily of highly rated corporate and municipal bonds, mutual funds and Securities Investments, we manage our credit risk exposure by limiting concentration risk and maintaining investment grade credit quality. As of September 30, 2013, we had Marketable Securities of $41.0 million, of which 50% were corporate and municipal securities, primarily with S&P ratings ranging from AAA to BB+, and 50% were Securities Investments and mutual funds.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions regarding future events that affect the amounts reported in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and their notes, including reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. For a complete discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
ASU 2011-11 – In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2011-11”). ASU 2011-11 provides amendments to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 210, “Balance Sheet”, which are intended to enhance disclosures required by U.S. GAAP by requiring improved information about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45. This information will enable users of an entity’s financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position, including the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with certain financial instruments and derivative instruments in the scope of this update. In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2013-01”), which provides amendments that clarify that the scope of ASU 2011-11 applies to derivatives accounted for in accordance with ASC No. 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions. The amendments in these updates are effective retrospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after January 1, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2011-11 and ASU 2013-01 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, or disclosures thereto.
ASU 2013-02 – In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2013-02”). ASU 2013-02 provides amendments to ASC No. 220, “Comprehensive Income”, which are intended to enhance disclosures required by U.S. GAAP by requiring improved information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component, and to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income and their corresponding effect on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The amendments in this update are effective prospectively during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, or disclosures thereto.
ASU 2013-05 – In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, “Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity” (“ASU 2013-05”). ASU 2013-05 provides amendments to ASC No. 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”, which
45

Table of Contents
are intended to resolve diversity in practice by clarifying the guidance for the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business within a foreign entity. The amendments also clarify the guidance for the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income for business combinations achieved in stages involving a foreign entity. The amendments in this update are effective prospectively during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this update on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
ASU 2013-08 – In June 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-08, “Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements” (“ASU 2013-08”). ASU 2013-08 provides amendments to ASC No. 946, “Financial Services - Investment Companies”, which modify the guidance for the assessment of whether an entity is an investment company and provide additional implementation guidance for the assessment. The amendments also require fair value measurement rather than equity method accounting for noncontrolling ownership interests in other investment companies, and require additional disclosures about an entity's status as an investment company and financial support provided or contractually required to be provided by an investment company to its investees. The amendments in this update are effective prospectively during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption prohibited. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this update on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
ASU 2013-11 – In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists” (“ASU 2013-11”). ASU 2013-11 provides amendments to ASC No. 740, “Income Taxes”, which clarify the guidance for the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The amendments require that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. If a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The amendments in this update are effective prospectively during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this update on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Risk Management
See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Market Risk and Credit Risk.” We do not believe we face any material interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange risk, equity price risk or other market risk except as disclosed in Item 2 “ – Market Risk and Credit Risk” above.

Item 4. | Controls and Procedures

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
We have not made any changes during the three months ended September 30, 2013, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act).

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. | Legal Proceedings

General
In the normal course of business, from time to time the Company and its affiliates are involved in judicial or regulatory proceedings, arbitration or mediation concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of its businesses, including contractual and employment matters. In addition, Mexican, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Canadian and United States government agencies and self-regulatory organizations, as well as state securities commissions in the United States, conduct periodic examinations and initiate administrative proceedings regarding the Company’s business, including, among other matters, accounting and operational matters, that can result in censure, fine, the issuance of cease-and-desist orders or the suspension or expulsion of a broker-dealer, investment advisor, or its directors, officers or employees. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of such matters, particularly in cases where claimants seek substantial or indeterminate damages or where investigations and proceedings are in the early stages, the Company cannot predict the loss or range of loss, if any, related to such matters, how or if such matters will be resolved, when they will ultimately be resolved, or what the eventual settlement, fine, penalty or other relief, if any, might be. Subject to the foregoing, the Company believes, based on current knowledge and after consultation with counsel, that it is not currently party to any material pending proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, the resolution of which would have a material effect on the Company. Legal reserves are established in accordance with ASC 450, “Contingencies” when warranted. Once established, reserves are adjusted when there is more information available or when an event occurs requiring a change.

The timing and the actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including legal requirements, price and economic and market conditions. This program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not have a specified expiration date.
