<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:13pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>In June 2009, the FASB updated the accounting guidance for transfers of financial assets. &nbsp;The updated guidance eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity (&#147;QSPE&#148;) and establishes a new &#147;participating interest&#148; definition that must be met for transfers of portions of financial assets to be eligible for sale accounting. &nbsp;In addition, the updated guidance provides clarification and amendments to the derecognition criteria for a transfer to be accounted for as a sale and changes the amount of recognized gains or losses on transfers accounted for as a sale when beneficial interests are received by the transferor. &nbsp;The updated guidance also provides extensive new disclosure requirements for collateral transferred, servicing assets and liabilities, transfers accounted for as sales in securitization and asset-backed financing arrangements when the transferor has co
ntinuing involvement with the transferred assets, and transfers of financial assets accounted for as secured borrowings. &nbsp;The updated guidance is to be applied prospectively to new transfers of financial assets occurring in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. &nbsp;The Company&#146;s adoption did not have an impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.</P>

<P style="background-color:#FFFFFF; margin:0pt; line-height:13pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>In June 2009, the FASB updated the accounting guidance for consolidation. The updated guidance amends the consolidation framework for variable interest entities (&#147;VIEs&#148;) by requiring enterprises to qualitatively assess the determination of the primary beneficiary of a VIE based on whether the entity (1) has the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the activities of the VIE, and (2) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. &nbsp;The updated guidance changes the consideration of &#147;kick-out&#148; rights in determining if an entity is a VIE, which may cause certain additional entities to now be considered VIEs. &nbsp;The updated guidance requires an ongoing reconsideration of the primary beneficiary. &nbsp;It also amends the events that trigger a reassessment of whether

ASU No. 2010-06 also provides additional guidance on the level of disaggregation of fair value maeasurements and disclosures regarding inputs and valuation techniques.

<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:13pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>The Company has the option to measure certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings each period. The Company may make a &nbsp;fair value option election on an instrument-by-instrument basis at initial recognition of an asset or liability or upon an event that gives rise to a new basis of accounting for that instrument. The Company has elected to apply the fair value option to its loan trading portfolio which resides in OPY Credit Corp. and is included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. &nbsp;Management has elected this treatment as it is consistent with the manner in which the business is managed as well as the way that financial instruments in other parts of the business are recorded. &nbsp;There was one loan position held in the secondary loan trading portfolio at March 31, 2010 with a par value of $950,000 ($950,00
0 at December 31, 2009) and a fair value of $937,000 ($940,000 at December 31, 2009) which is categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. </P>
<P style="margin-top:9.1pt; margin-bottom:0pt; line-height:13pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>The Company also elected the fair value option for those securities sold under agreements to repurchase (&#147;repurchase agreements&#148;) and securities purchased under agreements to resell (&#147;reverse repurchase agreements&#148;) that do not settle overnight or have an open settlement date or that are not accounted for as purchase and sale agreements (such as repo-to-maturity transactions). The Company has elected the fair value option for these instruments to more accurately reflect market and economic events in its earnings and to mitigate a potential imbalance in earnings caused by using different measurement attributes (i.e. fair value versus carrying value) for certain assets and liabilities. At March 31, 2010, the fair value of the reverse repurchase agreements and repurchase agreements were $350.2 million and nil, respectively. &nbsp;During the three months ended March&nbsp
;31, 2010, the amount of losses related to reverse repurchase agreements was $4,600.</P>

All derivative instruments are measured at fair value and are recognized as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet. &nbsp;The Company designates interest rate swaps and interest rate caps as cash flow hedges of floating-rate borrowings.</P>

<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:13pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>On September 29, 2006, the Company entered into interest rate swap transactions to hedge the interest payments associated with its floating rate Senior Secured Credit Note, which is subject to change due to changes in 3-Month LIBOR. See Note 6 for further information. These swaps have been designated as cash flow hedges. &nbsp;Changes in the fair value of the swap hedges are expected to be highly effective in offsetting changes in the interest payments due to changes in 3-Month LIBOR. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, the effective portion of the net gain on the interest rate swaps, net of tax, was approximately $257,000 and has been recorded as other comprehensive income on the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss). &nbsp;There was no ineffective portion as at March 31, 2010.

For the three months ended March 31, 2010, the effective portion of the net loss on the interest rate cap, net of tax, was approximately $624,000 and has been recorded as other comprehensive income (loss) on the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss). &nbsp;There was no ineffective portion as at March 31, 2010.

 paid a premium for the interest rate cap of $2.4 million which has a strike of 2% and matures December 31, 2012. &nbsp;</P>

These loans, collateralized by firm securities with market values of approximately $61.7 million at March 31, 2010, are primarily with two U.S. money center banks.

<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:13pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>In June 2009, the Company significantly expanded its government trading operations and began financing those operations through the use of securities sold under agreements to repurchase (&#147;repurchase agreements&#148;) and securities purchased under agreements to resell (&#147;reverse repurchase agreements&#148;). &nbsp;Except as described below, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, principally involving government and agency securities, are carried at amounts at which securities subsequently will be resold or reacquired as specified in the respective agreements and include accrued interest (repo-to-maturity transactions). &nbsp;Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are presented on a net-by-counterparty basis, when the repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are executed with the same counterparty, have the same explicit settlement date, are executed in accordance with a master netting

The Company elected the fair value option for those repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements that do not settle overnight or have an open settlement date or that are not accounted for as purchase and sale agreements (such as repo-to-maturity transactions described above). The Company has elected the fair value option for these instruments to more accurately reflect market and economic events in its earnings and to mitigate a potential imbalance in earnings caused by using different measurement attributes (i.e. fair value versus carrying value) for certain assets and liabilities.

It is the Company's policy to request and obtain additional collateral when exposure to loss exists. In the event the counterparty is unable to meet its contractual obligation to return the securities, the Company may be exposed to off-balance sheet risk of acquiring securities at prevailing market prices. </P>

The Company has exposure, up to a maximum of 10%, of the excess underwriting commitment provided by CIBC over CIBC&#146;s targeted loan retention (defined as &#147;Excess Retention&#148;). The Company quantifies its Excess Retention exposure by assigning a fair value to the underlying loan commitment provided by CIBC (in excess of what CIBC has agreed to retain) which is based on the fair value of the loans trading in the secondary market. &nbsp;To the extent that the fair value of the loans has decreased, the Company records an unrealized loss on the Excess Retention. Underwri
ting of loans pursuant to the warehouse facility is subject to joint credit approval by the Company and CIBC. &nbsp;The maximum aggregate principal amount of the warehouse facility is $1.5 billion, of which the Company utilized $84.6 million and had nil in Excess Retention as of March 31, 2010. &nbsp;</P>

Clients are required to complete their transactions on settlement date, generally one to three business days after trade date.

The Company has clearing/participating arrangements with the National Securities Clearing Corporation (&#147;NSCC&#148;), the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation (&#147;FICC&#148;), R.J. O&#146;Brien &amp; Associates (commodities transactions) and others. &nbsp;With respect to its business in securities purchased under agreement to resell and securities sold under agreement to repurchase, all open contracts at March 31, 2010 are with the FICC<B>.</B> The clearing brokers have the right to charge the Company for losses that result from a client's
 failure to fulfill its contractual obligations. 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 March 31, 2010, the Company had recorded no liabilities with regard to this right. The Company's policy is to monitor the credit standing of the clearing brokers and banks with which it conducts business.</P>

<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:13pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>As the first quarter of 2010 drew to a close, there were strong indications that the U.S. economy is on the path to recovery. While the unemployment rate remains stubbornly above 9.5%, housing prices have stabilized and begun to improve in many parts of the United States and commodity prices including oil have increased reflecting overall improvements in demand throughout the economy. Although consumer credit continues to reflect difficult times for many consumers, recent retail sales figures reflect improvement in end demand. U.S. equity markets were weak in the early weeks of the quarter, but they rallied strongly to end the quarter up 4.9% as investor confidence improved. While longer term U.S. Treasury yields have begun to increase reflecting increased issuance and an improved economy, short term rates remain at record low rates reflecting the intention of policy makers to continue to stimulate the economy.

<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:13pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>These improving market conditions have led to overall revenue improvements for the Company in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009. Revenue from commissions in the three months ended March 31, 2010 surpassed the level achieved in the comparable period in 2009 as a result of the effects of rising equity prices and improved investor confidence. Revenue from principal transactions was lower in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 as improved conditions in the credit markets resulted in lower volatility and reduced spreads which negatively impacted fixed income trading profits. Revenue for the Company from investment banking activities showed a significant improvement in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009, fueled by equities issuance. Net interest revenue for the Company, as well as fees derived from money market funds and FD
IC insured deposits of clients, while improved compared to the first quarter of 2009, continue to be significantly and adversely affected by the low interest rate environment. Asset management advisory fees increased in the first quarter of 2010 due primarily to increases in the value of assets under management compared to the same period in the prior year. </P>

<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:13pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>Expenses increased in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009 driven by higher compensation costs related to higher commission and fee-based revenue and higher legal costs related to litigation and regulatory matters.

<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:13pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>For a number of years, the Company has offered auction rate securities (&#147;ARS&#148;) to its clients. A significant portion of the market in ARS has &#145;failed&#146; because, in the tight credit market, the dealers are no longer willing or able to purchase the imbalance between supply and demand for ARS. These securities have auctions scheduled on either a 7, 28 or 35 day cycle. Clients of the Company own a significant amount of ARS in their individual accounts. The absence of a liquid market for these securities presents a significant problem to clients and, as a result, to the Company. It should be noted that this is a failure of liquidity and not a default. These securities in almost all cases have not failed to pay interest or principal when due. These securities are fully collateralized for the most part and, for the most part, remain good credits. The Company has not acted as an auction agent for ARS
 nor does it have a significant exposure in its proprietary accounts. Recently, some of these ARS have been redeemed at par (100% of issue value) plus accrued dividends by their issuers thus reducing the scope of the issue for clients and the Company. However, in excess of fifty percent of the overall ARS issued into the ARS market remain outstanding. </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 compl
iance more difficult and more expensive to monitor.<B> </B></P>

<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:13pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>Recent events connected to the worldwide credit crisis have made it highly likely that the self-regulatory framework for financial institutions will be changed in the United States and around the world. The changes are likely to significantly reduce leverage available to financial institutions and to increase transparency to regulators and investors of risks taken by such institutions. It is impossible to presently predict the nature of such rulemaking, although proposals being considered in the U.S. and the United Kingdom would possibly create a new regulator for certain activities, regulate and/or prohibit proprietary trading for certain deposit taking institutions, control the amount and timing of compensation to &#147;highly paid&#148; employees, create new regulations around financial transactions with consumers, and possibly create a tax on securities transactions. If and when enacted, such regulations wi
ll likely increase compliance costs and reduce returns earned by financial service providers. Any such action could have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.</P>

<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:13pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>As noted above, during the week ended February 26, 2010, Oppenheimer finalized settlements with each of the NYAG and the MSD concluding investigations and administrative proceedings by the Regulators concerning Oppenheimer&#146;s marketing and sale of ARS. As a result, the Company will purchase eligible ARS from eligible clients pursuant to those settlements. Based on the terms of the settlements, the Company will, no later than May 24, 2010, make an initial national offer to eligible clients who currently hold accounts at Oppenheimer to purchase ARS. Eligible clients&#146; accounts will be aggregated on a &#147;household&#148; basis. The Company will make subsequent offers to eligible clients holding eligible ARS based on the availability of funds for such purpose. As a result of this limitation, it is unlikely that the Company will be required over any short period of time to purchase all of the ARS currently
 held by the Company&#146;s former or current clients who purchased ARS prior to the beginning of the market&#146;s failure in February 2008. &nbsp;The Company will continue to assess whether it has sufficient regulatory capital or borrowing capacity to make any purchases of ARS beyond those agreed upon in the settlements described above. The Company estimates that it is obligated to purchase up to an aggregate of approximately $39 million of eligible ARS in the initial 15 month period covered by settlements with the Regulators. Such purchases will be paid for from available funds. The Company believes that the cumulative amount of ARS which it may purchase pursuant to the terms of the settlements will not create a condition that would have a material adverse affect on the Company&#146;s financial statements. The Company is continuing to cooperate with regulators from other states conducting investigations surrounding sales of ARS. &nbsp;Notwithstanding the foregoing settlements, the Company remains as a nam

As opportunities are presented, it is the long-term intention of the Company to pursue growth by acquisition where a comfortable match can be found in terms of corporate goals and personnel at a price that would provide the Company's stockholders with incremental value. The Company may review additional potential acquisition opportunities, and will continue to focus its attention on the management of its existing business. In addition, the Company is
 committed to improving its technology capabilities to support client service and the expansion of its capital markets capabilities.</P>

<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:13pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>Total assets at March 31, 2010 increased by 12% from December 31, 2009 levels due in large part to the Company&#146;s expansion of its government trading desk which began in June 2009. &nbsp;The Company satisfies its need for short-term funds from internally generated funds and collateralized and uncollateralized borrowings, consisting primarily of bank loans, stock loans and uncommitted lines of credit. The Company&#146;s longer-term capital needs are met through the issuance of the Senior Secured Credit Note and the Subordinated Note. The amount of Oppenheimer's bank borrowings fluctuates in response to changes in the level of the Company's securities inventories and customer margin debt, changes in stock loan balances and changes in notes receivable from employees. The Company believes that such availability will continue going forward but current conditions in the credit markets may make the availability of
 bank financing more challenging in the months ahead. Oppenheimer has arrangements with banks for borrowings on a fully-collateralized basis. At March 31, 2010, the Company had $37.6 million of such borrowings outstanding compared to outstanding borrowings of nil at December 31, 2009. At March 31, 2010, the Company had available collateralized and uncollateralized letters of credit of $237.7 million.</P>

<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:13pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>Volatility in the financial markets, and the continuance of credit problems throughout the national economy, has had an adverse affect on the availability of credit through traditional sources. As a result of concern about the ability of markets generally and the strength of counterparties specifically, many lenders have reduced and, in some cases, ceased to provide funding to the Company on both a secured and unsecured basis. Further, the current environment has not been conducive to new financing or the renegotiation of existing loans.</P>

<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:13pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>On February&nbsp;23, 2010 and February&nbsp;26, 2010, the Company reached settlement agreements with the Regulators with respect to clients&#146; ownership and holdings of ARS. Under the terms of those settlements, the Company has agreed to purchase, in aggregate, ARS with a par value of approximately $31.5 million at December&nbsp;31, 2009, from eligible clients no later than August&nbsp;7, 2010 and to establish redemption funds of $4.5 million and $2.8 million no later than August&nbsp;28, 2010 and February&nbsp;29, 2011, respectively. The Company estimates that it is obligated to purchase an aggregate of approximately $39 million of eligible ARS in the initial 15 month period covered by the settlements with the Regulators. It will make subsequent offers to eligible clients holding eligible ARS based on the Company&#146;s availability of funds for such purpose, the amount of which the Company believes, pursua
nt to the terms of the settlements, will not create a condition that would have a material adverse affect on the Company&#146;s financial statements. As a result, it is unlikely that the Company will be required over any short period of time to purchase all of the ARS currently held by the Company&#146;s former or current clients who purchased ARS prior to the beginning of the market&#146;s failure in February 2008. In future periods the Company, pursuant to the Settlements, will &nbsp;assess whether it has sufficient regulatory capital or borrowing capacity to make any purchases of ARS beyond those agreed upon in the settlements described above.</P>

<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:13pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule&nbsp;13a&#150;15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

<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>

<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:13pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>Many aspects of the Company&#146;s business involve substantial risks of liability. In the normal course of business, the Company has been the subject of customer complaints and has been named as a defendant or co-defendant in various lawsuits or arbitrations creating substantial exposure. The incidences of these types of claims have increased since the onset of the credit crisis and the resulting market disruptions. The Company is also involved from time to time in certain governmental and self-regulatory agency investigations and proceedings. These proceedings arise primarily from securities brokerage, asset management and investment banking activities. There has been an increased incidence of regulatory investigations in the financial services industry in recent years, including customer claims, which seek substantial penalties, fines or other monetary relief. </P>

<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:13pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>While the ultimate resolution of routine pending litigation and other matters cannot be currently determined, in the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the Company does not believe that the resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition. However, the Company&#146;s results of operations could be materially affected during any period if liabilities in that period differ from prior estimates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an adverse result in any of the matters set forth below, many of which are at a preliminary stage, would have a material adverse effect on the Company&#146;s results of operations and financial condition, including its cash position. The materiality of legal matters to the Company&#146;s future operating results depends on the level of future results of operations as well as the timing and ultimate outcome of such legal matt

<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:13pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>On April 11, 2008, Oppenheimer (and a number of its affiliates) was named as a defendant in a proposed class action complaint captioned <I>Bette M.

The complaint alleges, among other things, that Oppenheimer violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as well as other provisions of the Federal securities laws) by making material misstatements and omissions and engaging in deceptive activities in the offer and sale of ARS. Oppenheimer filed an answer to the complaint denying the allegations. Oppenheimer believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims raised in the lawsuit and intends to defend against these claims vigorously. &nbsp;On February 20, 2009, this action was consolidated with the <I>Vining</I> action described below. </P>

<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:13pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>On May 12, 2008, Oppenheimer (and a number of its affiliates) was named as a defendant in a proposed class action complaint captioned <I>David T. Vining v. Oppenheimer &amp; Co. Inc. et. al.</I> in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. &nbsp;The complaint alleges, among other things, that Oppenheimer violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as well as other provisions of the Federal securities laws) by making material misstatements and omissions and engaging in deceptive activities in the offer and sale of ARS. Oppenheimer filed an answer to the complaint denying the allegations. Oppenheimer believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims raised in the lawsuit and intends to defend against these claims vigorously. On February 20, 2009, the Grossman action discussed above was consolidated with this action. The action requests relief in the form of compen
satory damages in an amount to be proven at trial as well as costs and expenses. Oppenheimer (and a number of its affiliates) have filed a motion to dismiss this consolidated action.</P>

Park Avenue used the portfolio as collateral for a margin loan used to fund the purchase of Providence from Providence&#146;s parent. The Receiver alleges, among other things, that the transfer of the bond portfolio to Park Avenue is a revocable transact
ion and that the Receiver can, and intends to avoid, or set aside, this transaction. Oppenheimer believes it acted in good faith and on appropriate instructions at all times in this matter. &nbsp;However, at this time, there can be no guarantee that Oppenheimer will not become subject to an action by the Receiver seeking a return of the value of the Providence Municipal bond portfolio from Oppenheimer</P>
