<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.

<P style="page-break-before:always; 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 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 nine months ended September 30, 20
07, the Company recorded approximately $173 thousand and $502 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; 2005 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>&nbsp;&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 jurisdiction 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 &#150; 2000 and 2001 &#150; 2003), New York City (1998 &#150; 2000), New Jersey (2002 &#150; 2005), Florida (2004 &#150; 2006) 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 ef
fect 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. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was a result of favorable resolutions of tax matters during the period.</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 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 adoption pe
rmitted. The Company has determined that adoption of SFAS 157 will not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.</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 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 Senior Secured Credit Note. Of the $25.0 million repaid, $10.4 million was a required payment under the terms of the Senior Secured Credit Note and $14.6 million represented a voluntary 
prepayment. On August 2, 2007, the Company voluntarily repaid a further $15.0 million of its Senior Secured Credit Note plus accrued interest thereon. 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 September 30, 2007, the Company was in compliance with the covenants. The interest rate on the Senior Secured Credit Note for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was 7.86%. Under the terms of the Senior Secured Credit Note, effective January 1, 2007, the interest rate spread over LIBOR was reduced by 25 basis points. Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2
007 was $1.8 million and $6.3 million, respectively. Of the $83.5 million due as at September 30, 2007, $14.5 million is expected to be paid within 12 months.</P>

<P style="margin:0pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>The Company has a clearing arrangement with Pershing LLC to clear certain transactions in foreign securities.

Accordingly, the Company has credit exposures with these clearing brokers. The clearing brokers can re-hypothecate the securities held on behalf of the Company. As the right to charge the Company has no maximum amount and applies to all trades executed through the clearing brokers, the Company believes there is no maximum amount assignable to this right. At September 30, 2007, the Company had recorded no liabilities with regard to this right. The Company's policy is to monitor the credit st

<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:13pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>During the third quarter, equity and debt markets were extremely volatile reflecting substantial uncertainty about the impact of defaults and foreclosures in the sub-prime mortgage market, as well as the inability of the credit markets to assess the creditworthiness of numerous issuers of commercial paper and asset backed securities. This, together with high oil and gas prices, a weak U.S. dollar and uncertainty about the chances of a recession in the United States, caused a sell-off in the U.S. securities markets during most of July and August. This was followed by a strong rally in September following the Federal Reserve&#146;s announcement of a reduction in the discount rate and later in the benchmark federal funds rate. </P>
<P style="margin:0pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify><BR></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. Despite the Federal Reserve&#146;s reduction in the discount rate in September 2007, average interest rates were higher in the nine months ended September 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.

The increase in compensation costs is primarily attributable to the increased levels of business in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same periods of 2006. Another large component of the year-to-date increase in compensation costs is attributable to share-based compensation costs. In the nine months ended September 30, 2007, share-based compensation expenses amounted to $7.1 million ($4.9 million in the comparable period of 2006). Communications and data processing costs increased in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006, reflecting the Company&#146;s investment in its technology platform. Despite higher interest rates, interest expense
 declined in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006, primarily reflecting lower levels of bank borrowing and the impact of principal payments on the Company&#146;s Senior Secured Credit Note which totaled $40.8 million through September 30, 2007. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was a result of favorable resolutions of tax matters during the period.</P>

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.

<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 nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased 14% and 2%, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2006. In the three months ended September 30, 2007, approximately 63% of the increase in commissions was generated in the over-the-counter market and approximately 22% from sales of annuities. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2007 decreased by 3% and was flat, respectively, compared to the comparable periods of 2006. With increased market volatility, the Company has scaled back its exposure to proprietary trading acti
vities. As previously disclosed, the Company has no exposure to the issues surrounding the sub-prime mortgage market. &nbsp;Investment banking revenues in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased 43% and 97%, respectively, compared with the same periods of 2006. In the three months ended September 30, 2007, approximately 46% of the increase was generated by corporate finance advisory and placement fees and approximately 28% of the increase from syndicate sales. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased by 27% and 24%, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2006 primarily as a result of increases</P>

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 nine months ended September 30, 2006 includes a gain on the exchange of the Company&#146;s NYSE seats for cash and NYSE Group common shares of $12.4 million as well as a non-recurring gain on the early extinguishment of the debentures in the amount of $3.6 million, as described above..</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 nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased by 22% and 18% compared to the same periods of 2006. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, interest revenue (which primarily relates to revenue from customer margin balances and securities lending activities) was flat and increased by 3%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2006. In the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the increase in average stock borrow balances of approximately 13% compared to the same period of 2006 more than offset a small decrease in average customer debit balances. Interest expense in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 decreased by 16% and 8%, respectively. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, 29% and 62%, respectively, of the decrease came from lower interest expense related to the Company&#146;s D
ebentures (repaid in full on October 23, 2006) and senior secured credit note (originally issued on July 31, 2006 in the amount of $125 million and with an outstanding balance of $83.5 million at September 30, 2007). See discussion above. &nbsp;In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the other significant reason for the decrease in interest expense related to lower average bank call loan balances in 2007 compared to 2006 as a result of stronger business and cash flows in 2007. </P>

<P style="margin:0pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>Compensation and related costs in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased by 14% 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. Another large component of the 2007 year-to-date increase in compensation costs is attributable to share-based compensation costs totaling $7.1 million ($4.9 million in the comparable period of 2006) primarily related to outstanding stock appreciation rights which, unde
r 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 cost of clearing and exchange fees in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased by 24% and 15%, respectively, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased by 5% and 10%, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2007 decreased by 7% and 3%, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2007 decreased by 4% and increased by 1%, respectively compared to the same pe
riods of 2006. Included in other expenses, bad debt expense was flat compared to the same periods of 2006. In the three months ended September 30, 2007, increased third party finders fees expense was offset by decreased costs for legal and regulatory settlements.</P>

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 September 30, 2007, the Company was in compliance with the covenants. The interest rate on the Senior Secured Credit Note for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was 7.86%. Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $1.8 million and $6.4 million, respectively, on the Senior Sec

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 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 adoption pe

<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:13pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company&#146;s disclosure controls and procedures or its internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. 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 b
ecause 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 of 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>
