Table of Contents Index to Financial Statements Income before taxes increased by $27.8 million or 54.7% to $78.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 from $50.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Net income increased by $16.3 million or 51.8% to $47.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 from $31.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Revenues Our revenues for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the resulting dollar and percentage changes, were as follows:

Commissions.
Our commission revenues for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the resulting dollar and percentage changes, were as follows:
## Table 1 ##
The $13.6 million increase in distribution fees for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to the year ended December 31, 2010 was due principally to the migration of seven U. S.  broker-dealer market makers in the prior 15 months from an all-variable fee plan to a plan that incorporates a combination of a monthly distribution fee and variable transaction fees and the addition of several new U. S.  and European brokerdealer market makers to the platform.
Due in part to the continuing sovereign debt concerns and competitive environment in Europe, trading volume in our Eurobond product has significantly decreased in 2010 and 2011.
We intend to reduce the monthly distribution fees paid by our European broker-dealer market makers effective March 1, 2012, but leave dealer variable transaction fees unchanged.
We expect that Eurobond distribution fees will decline by approximately $0.5 million per month.
Despite our efforts, there is no assurance that Eurobond trading volumes and revenues will increase as a result of this change.
It is possible that our broker-dealer clients could respond to this new fee plan by either reducing the amount of their business conducted on our platform or terminating their contractual relationship with us, which could have an adverse impact on our fees.
Table of Contents Index to Financial Statements For volume reporting purposes, transactions in foreign currencies are converted to U. S.  dollars at average monthly rates.
The 37.4% increase in U. S.  high-grade volume was principally due to an increase in the Company’s estimated market share of total U. S.  high-grade corporate bond volume as reported by FINRA TRACE from 6.2% for the year ended December 31, 2009 to 8.4% for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Estimated FINRA TRACE U. S.  high-grade volume increased by less than 1% to $2.9 trillion for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Our Eurobond volumes decreased by 11.5% for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to the year ended December 31, 2009.
We believe that the decline in Eurobond volumes was due, in part, to continuing sovereign debt concerns which negatively impacted market conditions.
Other volume increased by 66.2% for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to the year ended December 31, 2009, primarily due to higher agencies and emerging markets volume.
Our average variable transaction fee per million for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was as follows:
## Table 2 ##
The U. S.  high-grade average variable transaction fee per million improved from $179 per million for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $190 per million for the year ended December 31, 2010, primarily due to an increase in the percentage of volume derived from broker-dealer clients on an all-variable plan.
Eurobond average variable transaction fee per million decreased from $138 per million for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $119 per million for the year ended December 31, 2010.
In June 2010, we launched a click-to-trade protocol in the European market.
In connection with the launch, the Eurobond fee plan was revised generally downward.
Other average variable transaction fee per million decreased from $203 per million for the year ended December 31, 2009 to $182 per million for the year ended December 31, 2010, primarily due to a higher percentage of volume in products that carry lower fees per million, principally agency bonds.
Technology Products and Services.
Technology products and services revenues increased by $3.9 million or 39.6% to $13.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 from $9.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2009.
The increase was primarily a result of higher technology integration consulting services and license fees.
Information and User Access Fees.
Information and user access fees increased by $0.4 million or 6.9% to $6.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 from $6.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Investment Income.
Investment income was $1.2 million for the each of the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.
Other.
Other revenues increased by $1.5 million or 139.5% to $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 from $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2009.
The increase was primarily a result of higher initial set-up fees from broker-dealer clients and a gain on the sale of a U. S.  Treasury bill investment.
