The following segment information reflects the Company's results from its continuing operations. The Company’s segment information for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 is prepared using the following methodology:
• | Revenue, expenses and income (loss) from equity method investments directly associated with each segment are included in determining pre-tax income.
• | Expenses not directly associated with specific segments are allocated based on the most relevant measures applicable, including headcount, square footage and other performance and time-based factors.
• | Segment assets are based on those directly associated with each segment, or for certain assets shared across segments; those assets are allocated based on the most relevant measures applicable, including headcount and other factors.
• | Investment gains and losses, interest income and interest expense are allocated between the segments based on the segment in which the underlying asset or liability is held.
Each segment’s Operating Expenses include: a) employee compensation and benefits expenses that are incurred directly in support of the segment and b) non-compensation expenses, which include expenses for premises and occupancy, professional fees, travel and entertainment, communications and information services, equipment and indirect support costs (including compensation and other operating expenses related thereto) for administrative services. Such administrative services include, but are not limited to, accounting, tax, legal, facilities management and senior management activities. Other Expenses include: a) amortization costs associated with the modification and vesting of LP Units and certain other awards, b) charges associated with the vesting of Event-based Awards, c) the amortization of intangible assets associated with certain acquisitions, d) Special Charges incurred related to the impairment of intangible assets from Morse, Williams and Company, Inc. in 2013, Special Charges incurred in connection with exiting facilities in the UK in 2012 and Special Charges related to the Lexicon acquisition, including the exiting of facilities for office space in the UK, an introducing fee as well as other professional fees incurred by Lexicon in 2011 and e) compensation charges associated with deferred consideration, retention awards and related compensation for Lexicon employees.
