the preparation of the Company&#146;s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. The Company began operating as an independent, publicly-traded company pursuant to a spin-off (the &#147;Spin-Off&#148;) from its former parent
company The Phoenix Companies, Inc. (&#147;Phoenix&#148;) on December 31, 2008. The specific areas that have caused the unexpected delays involve the finalization of certain tax attributes, arising in the period before the Spin-Off, between Virtus
and Phoenix in the context of the Tax Separation Agreement dated December 18, 2008 with Phoenix. Resolution of these matters is also critical in the finalization of the Company&#146;s assessment of goodwill and intangible asset impairment in

period ended September 30, 2008. In addition, we expect to record a full tax valuation allowance of up to $100.0 million against deferred tax assets in 2008. Revenues for the year decreased by $47.9 million primarily due to a $12.8 billion decrease
in average assets under management as a result of significant market declines in 2008 combined with net outflows during the year. At December 31, 2008, we managed $22.6 billion in total assets representing a decrease of $17.8 billion from the $40.4
billion managed at December 31, 2007. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="font-size:12px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P> <P STYLE="line-height:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;border-bottom:0.5pt solid #000000">&nbsp;</P> <P
