<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:13pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48<I>. </I>This interpretation requires that a tax position be recognized only if it is &#147;more likely than not&#148; to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, based solely on its technical merits, as of the reporting date. A tax position that meets the &#147;more likely than not&#148; criterion shall be measured at the largest amount of benefit that is more than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.</P>

<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:13pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007 which resulted in a cumulative adjustment to opening retained earnings in the amount of $823 thousand and a reclassification of deferred tax liabilities in the amount of $6.1 million to liability for unrecognized tax benefits which is included in accounts payable and other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. &nbsp;The Company&#146;s uncertain tax positions primarily consist of an election made under the Internal Revenue Code to limit current recognition of property that was involuntarily converted to money as a result of the monetary damages received. &nbsp;The Company recognizes interest accrued on underpayments of income taxes as interest expense and any related statutory penalties as other expenses in its condensed consolidated statement of income. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company recorded app
roximately $166 thousand and $329 thousand, respectively, in interest related to the involuntary conversion of assets.</P>
<P style="margin:0pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt"><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:13pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>The Company is in discussions with the Internal Revenue Service (&#147;IRS&#148;) related to the involuntary conversion of assets as part of the IRS&#146;s limited scope examination of the 2003 &#150; 2004 tax period and expects the matter to be resolved within the next twelve months without a material impact to the Company&#146;s effective income tax rate. &nbsp;At this time, management cannot estimate a range for any possible change in the unrecognized tax benefit. &nbsp;</P>

<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:13pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>Due to its retail branch network, the Company is subject to tax examinations in many state and local jurisdictions. &nbsp;Tax years under examination vary by jurisdictions and it is not uncommon to have many examinations open at any given time. &nbsp;Currently, tax examinations are ongoing in New York State (1998 to 2000 and 2001 to 2003), New York City (1998 &#150; 2000), New Jersey (2002 &#150; 2005), and Michigan (2002 &#150; 2005). &nbsp;The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of additional assessments in each of the taxing jurisdictions resulting from these and subsequent years&#146; examinations. &nbsp;The Company has established tax reserves that it believes are sufficient in relation to possible additional assessments. &nbsp;The Company continuously assesses the adequacy of these reserves and believes that the resolution of such matters will not have a material effect on the condensed consolidated
 balance sheet, although a resolution could have a material effect on the Company&#146;s condensed consolidated statement of income for a particular period and on the Company&#146;s effective income tax rate for any period in which resolution occurs.</P>

<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:13pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (&#147;SFAS 157&#148;), <I>Fair Value Measurements</I>, which provides expanded information about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. SFAS 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value and does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. In addition, SFAS No. 157 prohibits recognition of &#147;block discounts&#148; for large holdings of unrestricted financial instruments where quoted prices are readily and regularly available in an active market. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoptio
n permitted. The Company has determined that adoption of SFAS No. 157 will not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.</P>

The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 159 on its condensed consolidated financial statements but does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 159 to be material.</P>

<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:13pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>(b) On July 31, 2006, the Company issued a Senior Secured Credit Note (&#147;SSCN&#148;) in the amount of $125.0 million at a variable interest rate based on the London Interbank Offering Rate (&#147;LIBOR&#148;) with a seven-year term to a syndicate led by Morgan Stanley Senior Funding Inc, as agent. Minimum principal repayments equal 0.25% per quarter and there are required prepayments of principal based on a portion of the Company&#146;s excess cash flow, the net cash proceeds of asset sales, tax refunds over certain limits, awards over certain limits in connection with legal actions or &#145;takings&#146;, and debt issuances or other liability financings<A NAME="OLE_LINK9"></A>. On April 27&#184; 2007, the Company repaid $25.0 million of its SSCN, thereby reducing its outstanding indebtedness under the SSCN to $99.1 million. Of the $25.0 million repaid, $10.4 million was a required payment under the terms o
f the SSCN and $14.6 million represented a voluntary prepayment. &nbsp;In accordance with<B> </B>the<B> </B>SSCN, the Company has provided certain covenants to the lenders with respect to the maintenance of a minimum fixed charge ratio and maximum leverage ratio driven from EBITDA and minimum net capital requirements with respect to Oppenheimer. In the Company&#146;s view, the most restrictive of the covenants requires that the Company maintain a maximum leverage ratio of 2.30 (total long-term debt divided by EBITDA). At June 30, 2007, the Company was in compliance with the covenants. The interest rate on the SSCN for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was 7.85%. Under the terms of the SSCN, effective January 1, 2007, the interest rate spread over LIBOR was reduced by 25 basis points. Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was $2.1 million and $4.6 million, respectively. See Note 14.</P>

Unrealized gains and losses on TBAs are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets in receivable from brokers and clearing organizations and payable to brokers and clearing organizations, respectively, and in the condensed consolidated statement of income as principal transactions revenue. The credit risk for TBAs is limited to the unrealized market valuation gains recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Market risk is substantially dependent upon the value of the underl

Accordingly, the Company has credit exposures with these clearing brokers. The clearing brokers can re-hypothecate the securities held on behalf of the Company.

<P style="page-break-before:always; margin:0pt; line-height:14pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt" align=justify>Results during the second quarter of 2007 reflected a rising, but often volatile market environment, with investors focused on high oil prices, weak housing markets, foreclosures in sub-prime mortgages, and a weak U.S. dollar. Despite these issues, the U.S. economy continued to grow at a moderate pace with low unemployment rates and relatively strong consumer spending. Core inflation has been gradually easing and the Federal Reserve continues to hold interest rates steady. &nbsp;Growth over the next several quarters should be maintained as the weak dollar fuels exports. The investment environment remains attractive as global liquidity continues to fuel acquisitions and the retirement of equity securities through corporate buy-backs, privatizations, and mergers proceeds at a record pace.</P>

<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:13pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>Interest rate changes also impact the Company&#146;s fixed income businesses as well as its cost of borrowed funds. Interest rates were higher in the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. Investor interest in fixed income securities is driven by attractiveness of published rates, the direction of rates and economic expectations. Volatility in bond prices also impacts opportunities for profits in fixed income proprietary trading. Management constantly monitors its exposure to interest rate fluctuations to mitigate risk of loss in volatile environments. </P>

Events in recent years surrounding corporate accounting and other activities leading to investor losses resulted in the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and have caused increased regulation of public companies. New regulations and new interpretations and enforcement of existing regulations are creating increased costs of compliance and increased investment in systems and procedures to comply with these more complex and onerous requirements. Increasingly, the various states are imposing their own regulations that make the uniformity of regulation a thing of the past, and make compliance more difficult and more expensive to monitor.<B> </B>This regulatory environment has resulted in increased costs of compliance with rules and regulations<B>,</B> in particular, the 
impact of the rules and requirements that were created by the passage of the Patriot Act, and the anti-money laundering regulations (AML) that are related thereto. The expectation is that the increased costs of compliance in today&#146;s regulatory environment are not temporary.</P>

<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:13pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>The Company has been the subject of various regulatory investigations with respect to its operations. Most of these matters revolve around the period when the Company was transferring the business and client accounts of various acquisitions it has made to a common systems platform between September 2001 and June 2003. During that period of time, the Company absorbed approximately 35 branch offices and 1,000 financial advisors, and transitioned more than 250,000 client accounts from four separate and distinct companies, each of which utilized a different technology platform. &nbsp;The Company's business doubled during this period. As previously reported, certain of the Company&#146;s operations were impacted beginning in June 2003 and the Company experienced client service issues, which were subsequently corrected. The new businesses undertaken by the Company and the effect on the Company&#146;s operations for t
he period described above has resulted in investigations by the SEC, the NYSE, and the NASD. With the exception of the mutual funds timing matter described above and the stock loan matter, described below, the Company has settled substantially all outstanding matters with the NYSE. With the exception of the matters described below, the Company has settled substantially all outstanding matters with the NASD.</P>

This action could result in, among other things, monetary penalty, censure, suspension and/or other remedial sanctions. As previously disclosed, Oppenheimer had previously informed the NASD of certain limitations within its system relative to selecting out and generating data in the form requested by the NASD, and the NASD had stated that no extensions to file would be granted to any firm. &nbsp;As a result, just prior to the deadline, Oppenheimer submitted the data it then had available. &nbsp;The NASD informed Oppenheimer within two days that its submission was deficient. The Company and Mr. Lowenthal, the Chairman and CEO, maintain that the assignment of overall respon

The significant increase in the price of the Company&#146;s Class A Shares during the second quarter of 2007 was a contributing factor to the increase in share-based expense.

<P style="margin:0pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>Commission revenue and, to a large extent, revenue from principal transactions depend on investor participation in the markets. Commission revenue in the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 increased 1% and decreased by 3%, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2006. Commission revenue has been impacted by a general compression in rates charged to clients for transactions as well as clients&#146; changing their accounts to traditional fee-based arrangements. Net revenue from principal transactions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 increased by 36% and 3%, respectively, compared to the comparable periods of 2006. Net results from principal trading were positive for the periods in 2007, but with increased market volatility, the Company has scaled back its exposure. The Company has no exposure to the issues surrounding the sub-prime mortgage market. &nbsp;Investment banking revenues in the three and six 
months ended June 30, 2007 increased 91% and 122%, respectively, compared with the same periods of 2006. The increase can be attributed to the increased emphasis and staffing levels of the investment banking effort as well as the capital market&#146;s appetite for the securities of small and mid-cap offerings. Advisory fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 increased by 21% and 22%, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2006 as a result of increases in traditional fee-based assets under management. Assets under management by the asset management group increased 27% to $17.3 billion at June 30, 2007 compared to $13.6 billion at June 30, 2006, reflecting organic growth and increases in market value. The Company continues to build its base of annualized revenues through employee and client education and in connection with its dedication to assisting clients in their asset allocation process. Other revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2006 includes a gain on the exchange of the Company
&#146;s NYSE seats for cash and NYSE Group common shares of $11.6 million, as described</P>

<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:13pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>Net interest revenue (interest revenue less interest expense) in the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 increased by 13% and 17% compared to the same periods of 2006. Interest revenue, which primarily relates to revenue from customer margin balances and securities lending activities, was flat in the three months ended June 30, 2007 and increased by 5% in the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006. Interest expense in the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased by 9% and 3%, respectively, despite higher interest rates and the increased interest cost of the refinanced debt, primarily as a result of reduced bank borrowing in 2007.</P>

<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:13pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>Compensation and related costs in the three and six months ended June 30, 2007increased by 17% and 14%, respectively, compared to the comparable periods of 2006. Compensation expense, including the Company&#146;s accrual for year-end bonuses, has volume-related components and, therefore, increased with the increased levels of business conducted in the 2007 periods compared to the comparable periods of 2006. The amortization of forgivable loans to brokers is included in compensation expense. This expense is relatively fixed and is not influenced by increases or decreases in revenue levels, but rather by the net number of financial advisors hired in one period compared to another. The Company&#146;s compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was substantially impacted by share-based compensation expense totaling $9.6 million ($8.3 million in the second quarter of 2007) primarily related to outsta
nding stock appreciation rights which, under accounting guidelines, are re-measured at fair value at each period end based on the closing price of the Company&#146;s Class A Shares. The significant increase in the market price of the Company&#146;s Class A Shares during the second quarter of 2007 was a contributing factor to the increase in share-based compensation expense. The cost of clearing and exchange fees in the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased by 11% compared to the same period of 2006 due to higher transaction volume in 2007 compared to 2006. The cost of communications and technology in the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 increased by 18% and 13%, respectively, compared to the comparable periods of 2006, reflecting the Company&#146;s continued commitment to improve its technology platform. Occupancy and equipment costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased by 1% and 2%, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2006 due to reductions in equipment maintenance
 and rental expense in 2007 compared to 2006. Other expenses in the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased by 2% and increased by 3%, respectively compared to the same periods of 2006. Included in other expenses, bad debt expense and legal and regulatory settlement expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2007 were relatively flat compared to the same periods of 2006. The Company&#146;s effective income tax rate increased in the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same periods of 2006 mainly as the result of the non-deductibility of regulatory settlements in 2007.

The Company may face additional legal costs and settlement expenses in future quarters. The Company has used its best estimate to provide adequate reserves to cover potential litigation and regulatory expenses.

<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:13pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>In connection with the acquisition of the Oppenheimer divisions from CIBC World Markets in January 2003, the Company issued variable rate exchangeable debentures (the &#147;Debentures&#148;) in the amount of approximately $161.8 million and a zero coupon promissory note in the amount of approximately $65.5 million. The Debentures were redeemed on July 31, 2006 ($141.8 million) and the remaining balance on October 23, 2006 ($20.0 million) through the issue of a senior secured credit note to a syndicate led by Morgan Stanley Senior Funding Inc., as agent, in the amount of $125.0 million plus internally available funds and an increase in bank call loans. The senior secured credit note&nbsp;has a term of seven years with minimum principal repayments of 0.25% per quarter and required prepayments based on a portion of the Company&#146;s excess cash flow, the net cash proceeds of asset sales, tax refunds over certain 
limits, awards over certain limits in connection with legal actions or &#145;takings&#146;, and debt issuances or other liability financings, and pays interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR (London Interbank Offering Rate). In accordance with<B> </B>the<B> </B>senior secured credit note, the Company has provided certain covenants to the lenders with respect to the maintenance of a minimum fixed charge ratio and maximum leverage ratio driven from EBITDA and minimum net capital requirements with respect to Oppenheimer. In the Company&#146;s view, the most restrictive of the covenants requires that the Company maintain a maximum leverage ratio of 2.30 (total long-term debt divided by EBITDA). At June 30, 2007, the Company was in compliance with the covenants. The interest rate on the senior secured credit note for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was 7.85%. Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was $2.1 million and $4.6 million, respectively, on the senior secured credit note
. The effective interest rate on the Debentures was 4.5% per annum over the life of the Debentures.</P>

<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:13pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>On April 27, 2007, the Company repaid $25.0 million of its senior secured credit note, thereby reducing its outstanding indebtedness under the senior secured credit note to $99.1 million. Of the $25.0 million pay down, $10.4 million was a required payment under the terms of the senior secured credit note and $14.6 million represented a voluntary prepayment. Under the terms of the senior secured credit note, the interest rate spread over LIBOR has been reduced by 25 basis points. With strong earnings and cash flow in the first quarter of 2007 and a positive outlook for future quarters, the Company determined that it was appropriate to reduce indebtedness under the senior secured credit note at such time.

In addition, SFAS No. 157 prohibits recognition of &#147;block discounts&#148; for large holdings of unrestricted financial instruments where quoted prices are readily and regularly available in an active market. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoptio
n permitted. The Company has determined that adoption of SFAS No. 157 will not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.</P>

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision&#150;making can be faulty and that break-downs can occur because of a simple error or omission. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override o
f the control. The design of any system of controls also is based, in part, upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost&#150;effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. </P>

<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:13pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>The Class A non-voting shares of the Company are listed on the New York Stock Exchange and the Toronto Stock Exchange. &nbsp;The preponderance of trading in the Class A Shares take place on the New York Stock Exchange. &nbsp;Substantially all of the Company's active business is carried on in the United States through Oppenheimer &amp; Co. Inc. and other subsidiaries. &nbsp;The directors of the Company have assessed the cost and benefits of maintaining the Toronto Stock Exchange Listing and have determined that there are no material benefits to the Company or its shareholders to continue such listing. &nbsp;Accordingly, the directors have approved an application to voluntarily de-list the Class A non-voting shares from the Toronto Stock Exchange effective August 31, 2007 or such other date as may be agreed. The Company as a Canadian federally incorporated corporation and as a Canadian reporting issuer will conti
nue to be subject to Canadian corporate law and provincial securities regulations. Canadian investors will continue to be able to trade in the Class A Shares of the Company through Canadian securities dealers that can trade through the facilities of the New York Stock Exchange.</P>
