Discontinued Operations

The Company completed the sale of its Derivative Markets business to Citigroup Financial Products Inc. (Citigroup) for $237 million in December of 2004. In accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP), the results of the Derivative Markets segment have been included within discontinued operations for all periods presented. For a further discussion of the sale of the Companys Derivative Markets
business and its associated accounting treatment, see Footnote 9 Discontinued Operations.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of consolidation and form of presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period. All significant intercompany transactions and balances within continuing operations have been eliminated. Certain footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The nature of the
Companys business is such that the results of an interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 as filed with the SEC.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include money market accounts, which are payable on demand, or short-term investments with an original
maturity of less than 90 days. The carrying amount of such cash equivalents approximates their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Market making and sales activities

Securities owned and securities sold, not yet purchased, which
primarily consist of listed and OTC equities, are carried at market value and are recorded on a trade date basis. Net trading revenue (trading gains, net of trading losses) and commissions (which includes commission equivalents earned on
institutional client orders) and related expenses are also recorded on a trade date basis.

##### Table of Contents

Payments for order flow and ECN rebates represent payments to broker-dealer clients for directing their
order executions to the Company. Soft dollar and commission recapture expense represents payments to institutions in connection with soft dollar and commission recapture programs. The Companys clearing agreements call for payment or receipt of
interest income, net of interest expense, for facilitating the settlement and financing of securities transactions.

Asset management
fees

Deephaven earns asset management fees for sponsoring and managing the Deephaven Funds. Such fees are recorded monthly as earned
and are calculated as a percentage of the Deephaven Funds monthly net assets, plus a percentage of a new high net asset value (the Incentive Allocation Fee), as defined, for any six month period ended June 30th or
December 31st. A new high net asset value is generally defined as the amount by which the net asset value of the Deephaven Funds exceeds the greater of either the highest previous net asset value in the Deephaven Funds or the net asset value at
the time each investor made a purchase. The Incentive Allocation Fee may increase or decrease during the year based on the performance of the Deephaven Funds. If Deephavens Market Neutral Master Fund, which represents approximately 40% of
total Deephaven assets under management, recognizes a loss in the second half of a calendar year, the Incentive Allocation Fee is recalculated on an annual rather than a semi-annual basis. As such, the Incentive Allocation Fee may be negative for
certain periods, but not lower than zero on a year-to-date basis.

Estimated fair value of financial instruments

The market value of securities owned and securities sold, not yet purchased is estimated using market quotations available from major securities
exchanges, clearing brokers and dealers. Management estimates that the fair values of other financial instruments recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition (including receivables, payables and accrued expenses) approximate
their carrying values, as such financial instruments are short-term in nature, bear interest at current market rates or are subject to frequent repricing.

Goodwill and intangible assets

The Company applies the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,which requires that goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite useful life no longer be amortized, but instead, be tested for impairment
annually or when an event occurs or circumstances change that signify the existence of impairment. Other intangible assets are amortized on a straight line basis over their useful lives.

Strategic investments

Strategic
investments include non-controlling equity ownership interests in financial services-related businesses and are accounted for under the equity method or at fair value. The equity method of accounting is used for investments in limited partnerships
and limited liability companies. The fair value of investments recorded in the Companys broker-dealer subsidiaries, for which a quoted market or dealer price is not available for the size of the Companys investment, is based on
managements estimate. Among the factors considered by management in determining the fair value of investments are the cost of the investment, terms and liquidity, developments since the acquisition of the investment, the sales price of
recently issued securities, the financial condition and operating results of the issuer, earnings trends and consistency of operating cash flows, the long-term business potential of the issuer, the quoted market price of securities with similar
quality and yield that are publicly traded, and other factors generally pertinent to the valuation of investments. The fair value of these investments is subject to a high degree of volatility and may be susceptible to significant fluctuations in
the near term.

##### Table of Contents

Investments classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses
excluded from earnings and reported in Accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax within Stockholders equity on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Investments not recorded in the Companys broker-dealer
subsidiaries which do not have a readily determinable fair value are recorded at amortized cost.

Strategic investments are reviewed on an
ongoing basis to ensure that the carrying values of the investments have not been impaired. If the Company assesses that an impairment loss on a strategic investment has occurred due to a decline in fair value or other market conditions, the
investment is written down to impairment value.

Treasury stock

The Company records its purchases of treasury stock at cost as a separate component of Stockholders equity. The Company obtains treasury stock
through purchases in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions.

Foreign currencies

The functional currency of the Companys foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into
U.S. dollars using current exchange rates at the date of the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates during the periods. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are
included in Investment income and other on the Companys Consolidated Statements of Income.

Depreciation, amortization and
occupancy

Fixed assets are being depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of three to seven years.
Leasehold improvements are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the life of the related office lease or the expected useful life of the assets. The Company records rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lives of the
leases. The Company capitalizes certain costs associated with the acquisition or development of internal-use software and amortizes the software over its estimated useful life of three years, commencing at the time the software is placed in service.

Writedown of fixed assets

Writedowns of fixed assets are recognized when it is determined that the fixed assets are impaired. The amount of the impairment writedown is determined by the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value of the fixed
asset. In determining the impairment, an estimated fair value is obtained through research and inquiry of the market. Fixed assets are reviewed for impairment on a periodic basis.

Lease loss accrual

It is the
Companys policy to identify excess real estate capacity and where applicable, accrue for such future costs. In determining the accrual, a nominal cash flow analysis is performed for lease losses initiated prior to December 31, 2002, the
effective date of SFAS No. 146 Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, and costs related to the excess capacity are accrued. For lease losses initiated after December 31, 2002, the Companys policy is
to accrue future costs related to excess capacity using a discounted cash flow analysis.

Income taxes

The Company records deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting
and tax bases of assets and liabilities and measures them



9

##### Table of Contents

using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when such differences are expected to reverse. The Company evaluates the recoverability of future
tax deductions by assessing the adequacy of future expected taxable income from all sources, including reversal of temporary differences and forecasted operating earnings. Net deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in Other assets and
Accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively, on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Discontinued operations

In accordance with SFAS No. 144,Accounting for the Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the revenues and expenses associated
with a separate segment or reporting unit that has been disposed of through closure or sale are included in Income from discontinued operations, net of tax, on the Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented.

Stock-based compensation

On
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123-R, Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123-R), using the modified prospective method. Under SFAS No. 123-R, the grant date fair values of stock-based
employee awards that require future service are amortized over the relevant service period. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123-R, the Company applied Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees (APB 25) and related interpretations in accounting for its stock option plans. As options that were granted to employees prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123-R were granted at the then market value, no compensation
expense had been recognized for the fair values of such grants under APB 25.

Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 123-R, the Company changed
its expense attribution method for options. For option awards granted subsequent to the adoption of SFAS No. 123-R, compensation cost will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award, which is
the same methodology that the Company uses to account for restricted share awards. For unvested option awards granted prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123-R, the Company will continue to recognize compensation cost using a graded-vesting
method (as it had on a pro-forma basis previously). The graded-vesting method recognizes compensation cost separately for each vesting tranche.

Additionally, SFAS No. 123-R requires expected forfeitures to be considered in determining stock-based employee compensation expense. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123-R, forfeiture benefits were recorded as a reduction to the
Companys actual compensation expense in the case of restricted shares, or pro-forma compensation expense in the case of options, when an employee left the firm and forfeited the award. For the three and nine months ended September 30,
2006, the firm recorded a benefit for expected forfeitures on all outstanding stock-based awards. The benefit recorded did not have a material impact on the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006.

For stock-based payments issued after the adoption of SFAS No. 123-R, the Company applies a non-substantive vesting period approach
whereby the expense is accelerated for those employees that receive awards and are eligible to retire prior to the award vesting. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123-R, the Company applied a nominal vesting approach for employee stock-based
compensation awards with retirement eligible provisions. Under the nominal vesting approach, the Company recognized actual and pro-forma compensation cost over the vesting period and, if the employee retired before the end of the vesting period, the
Company recognized any remaining unrecognized compensation cost at the date of retirement. The impact of this change in the vesting period approach would not have had a material impact on the results of operations for the periods presented herein.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123-R, the firm presented all tax benefits resulting from stock-based compensation as cash flows
from operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. SFAS No. 123-R requires cash flows resulting from tax deductions in excess of the grant-date fair values of stock-based

awards to be included in cash flows from financing activities. The income tax benefit on stock awards exercised of $17.7 million related to stock-based
compensation included in cash flows from financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 would previously have been included in cash flows from operating activities.

Had compensation expense for the Companys options been determined based on the fair values at the grant dates in accordance with SFAS No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the Companys pro forma net income and earnings per share amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 would have been as follows (in millions, except per share data):

5. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually or when an event occurs or circumstances change that
signify the existence of impairment. As part of the test for impairment, the Company considers the profitability of the respective segment or reporting unit, an assessment of the fair value of the respective segment or reporting unit as well as the
overall market value of the Company compared to its net book value. In June 2006, the Company tested for the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets and concluded that there was no impairment.

The goodwill balance of $118.1 million at September 30, 2006 relates to the Global Markets segment. Goodwill is net of accumulated amortization of
$21.9 million recorded through December 31, 2001, the effective date the Company adopted SFAS No. 142. Goodwill increased by $28.5 million in 2005 resulting from the purchase of the businesses now operating as Direct Trading and Direct
Edge. In the first nine months of 2006, the Company paid $14.7 million relating to contingency payment obligations incurred in the acquisition of the businesses now operating as Direct Edge and Direct Trading. In addition, during the first nine
months of 2006, goodwill increased by $55.7 million in connection with the acquisition of Hotspot.

At September 30, 2006, the Company
had intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization, of $61.4 million, all included within the Global Markets segment. Intangible assets increased by $35.0 million in April 2006 in connection with the acquisition of Hotspot. Intangible assets are
being amortized over the remaining useful lives, which have been determined to range from two to thirty years and primarily represent client relationships.

The Company recorded amortization expense related to its intangible assets of $1.3 million and $3.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively. The estimated amortization expense
relating to the intangible assets for each of the next five years approximates $1.3 million for the remainder of 2006, $5.2 million in 2007 and 2008, $4.6 million in 2009 and $4.4 million in 2010.

6. Investment in Deephaven Sponsored Funds and Strategic Investments

The Companys wholly-owned subsidiary, Deephaven, is the investment adviser and sponsor of the Deephaven Funds, which engage in various trading
strategies involving equities, debt instruments and derivatives. The underlying investments in the Deephaven Funds are carried at market value. Of the $3.8 billion of assets under management in the Deephaven Funds as of September 30, 2006 and
$2.9 billion as of December 31, 2005, the Company had corporate investments of $203.0 million and $281.7 million, respectively. Additionally, Other assets on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at September 30, 2006 and
December 31, 2005 included $29.5 million and $17.2 million, respectively, of investments in the Deephaven Funds related to employee deferred compensation plans. In addition, certain officers, directors and employees of the Company held direct
investments of approximately $5.8 million and $3.7 million in the Deephaven Funds, in the aggregate, as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

Included in Investment income and other on the Companys Consolidated Statements of Income is income from the Companys corporate investments
in the Deephaven Funds of $4.8 million and $14.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $24.7 million and $11.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

In connection with the sale of the Derivative Markets business (see Footnote 9, Discontinued Operations) and in light of the
reorganization of the Companys business segments, the Company transferred its investments in the International Securities Exchange, Inc. (ISE) and The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (Nasdaq Inc.), which were previously held
by its broker-dealer subsidiaries, to a corporate investment holding company. During the first quarter of 2005, these equity investments became marketable and, accordingly, were accounted for as equity securities under SFAS No. 115
Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities and were classified as available-for-sale securities. On March 9, 2005, in conjunction with the ISEs initial public offering, the Company sold a portion of its equity
ownership of the ISE, having an original cost of $3.0 million, for $12.6 million, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $9.6 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006 the Company sold 400,000 shares of the ISE, having a cost basis of
$1.6 million, for $15.9 million, resulting in a year-to-date pre-tax gain of $14.3 million, $7.2 million of which was recognized in the third quarter of 2006. The gains on the sale of the ISE investment are included in Investment income and other on
the Companys Consolidated Statements of Income. As of September 30, 2006, the Company owned 343,000 shares of common stock of the ISE, which had an aggregate fair value and a cost basis of $16.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company sold a portion of its Nasdaq Inc. equity investment, previously
classified as available-for-sale, for $15.5 million. The Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $8.1 million related to the sale of this investment, which had a cost basis of $7.4 million.

8. Writedown of
Assets and Lease Loss Accrual

There were no charges for Writedown of assets and lease loss accrual during the three months ended
September 30, 2006. The Writedown of assets and lease loss accrual for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $8.5 million, primarily related to excess real estate capacity at the Companys 545 Washington Boulevard facility in
Jersey City, N.J.

The Writedown of assets and lease loss accrual for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $5.5
million and $10.1 million, respectively. These charges primarily related to the costs associated with excess real estate capacity at the Companys 545 Washington Boulevard facility in Jersey City, N.J. as well as costs associated with excess
real estate capacity and a writedown of fixed assets related to the move from the Companys 525 Washington Boulevard facility in Jersey City, N.J. during the second quarter of 2005.

9. Discontinued Operations

The Company completed the sale of its Derivative Markets business to
Citigroup for $237 million in cash in December 2004. The decision to sell the Derivative Markets segment was based on a review of the overall options industry, the capital and risk required to maintain this business successfully and the
business role in the Companys long-term strategy. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, the results of the Derivative Markets segment, the revenues and expenses associated with these businesses as well as all costs associated with the
sale transaction have been included in discontinued operations, net of tax on the Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented. The final purchase price was subject to adjustment based on the final determination of the book value of
the Derivative Markets segment at the time the deal closed. The final determination of book value occurred in the first quarter of 2005, at which time the adjustment was recognized. The result of this adjustment and other expenses related to the
sale resulted in a loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $266,000 in the first quarter of 2005. During the third quarter 2005, the Company recorded additional income, net of tax, of $388,000 relating to the Derivative Markets segment.

10. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

In the ordinary course of business, the nature of the Companys business subjects it to claims, lawsuits, regulatory examinations and other proceedings. The results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty. There can be no
assurance that these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys results of operations in any future period and a material judgment could have a material adverse impact on the Companys financial condition and results
of operations. However, it is the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel that, based on information currently available, the ultimate outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse impact on the business, financial
condition or operating results of the Company although they might be material to the operating results for any particular period, depending, in part, upon operating results for that period.

The Company leases office space under noncancelable operating leases. Certain office leases contain fixed escalation clauses. Rental expense from
continuing operations under the office leases was $2.1 million and

agreements included an option for renewal by the Deephaven managers through 2009 under the identical financial terms as their existing employment agreements (the Renewal Option); however, the deadline to exercise such Renewal Option has
lapsed. Pursuant to the terms of a simultaneously executed option agreement between the Company and the Deephaven managers, in the event of a change of control of the Company during the three-year employment term, the Deephaven managers would have
the option (the Option) to obtain a 51% interest in Deephaven in exchange for the termination of their employment contracts and associated profit-sharing bonuses and other employee profit-sharing plans, which in the aggregate range from
42% to 50% of the pre-tax, pre-profit sharing profits of Deephaven during the term of the agreements, subject to meeting certain annual guaranteed amounts. If a change of control of the Company were to occur, and if the Deephaven managers exercised
the Option, the Company would retain a 49% interest in Deephaven. In addition, during the life of the Option, the agreements provide that the Company may not sell Deephaven without the approval of the Deephaven managers.

11. Regulatory Charges and Related Matters

In
June 2005, Deephaven announced that it and a former Deephaven employee had received Wells Notices from the staff of the Division of Enforcement of the SEC. The Wells Notice to Deephaven indicated that the staff was considering recommending that the
Commission bring a civil injunctive action against Deephaven alleging that Deephaven violated the anti-fraud provisions of the securities laws in connection with trading activity associated with certain Private Investments in Public Equities
(PIPEs). In February 2006, Deephaven announced that it had submitted an offer of settlement to the staff of the SEC, which the staff agreed to recommend to the Commission, to resolve the investigation covered by the Wells Notice
received by Deephaven.

On May 2, 2006, Deephaven announced that its offer of settlement had been approved by the Commission. Without
admitting or denying the allegations in the SECs complaint, and as part of the settlement, Deephaven

was required to disgorge approximately $2.7 million, pay approximately $343,000 in pre-judgment interest and pay approximately $2.7 million as a civil
penalty. In May 2006, these amounts were paid to the Clerk of the Court. The settlement resolved the matters for which Deephaven received the Wells Notice from the staff of the SEC in June 2005.

In the second quarter of 2005, the Company recorded a $2.0 million pre-tax charge relating to this matter. In the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company
increased its total pre-tax charge relating to this matter to $5.7 million. Such charges are included in Regulatory charges and related matters on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company did not record a tax benefit for the $2.7 million
civil penalty portion of this settlement.

12. Comprehensive Income

Other comprehensive income, net of tax, represents net unrealized gain (loss) on the
Companys strategic investment in the ISE for all periods presented.

13. Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per common share (EPS) has been calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average shares of Class A Common Stock
outstanding during each respective period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential reduction in EPS using the treasury stock method to reflect the impact of common stock equivalents if stock awards such as stock options and restricted stock were
exercised or converted into common stock.

The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted
earnings per share computations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 (in millions, except per share data):

14. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has established the Knight Capital Group, Inc. 1998 Long Term Incentive Plan, the Knight Capital Group, Inc. 1998 Nonemployee Director Stock Option Plan, the Knight Capital Group, Inc. 2003 Equity Incentive Plan and the Knight
Capital Group, Inc. 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2006 Plan) (collectively, the Plans). The purpose of the Plans is to provide long-term incentive compensation to employees and directors of the Company. The Plans are
administered by the Compensation Committee of the Companys Board of Directors, and allow for the grant of options, stock appreciation rights (2006 Plan only), restricted stock and restricted stock units (collectively, the awards),
as defined by the Plans. In addition, the Plans limit the number of awards that may be granted to a single individual and the Plans also limit the amount of options, stock appreciation rights (2006 Plan only) or shares of restricted stock or
restricted stock units that may be awarded.

Restricted Shares

Eligible employees receive restricted shares as a portion of their total compensation. Restricted share awards generally vest ratably over three years.
The Company has the right to fully vest employees in their option grants and awards upon retirement and in certain other circumstances. Awards are otherwise canceled if employment is terminated before the end of the relevant vesting period.

The Company measures compensation cost related to restricted shares based on the market value of the Companys common stock at the
date of grant, which the Plans define as the average of the high and low sales price on the date prior to the grant date. For the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company recorded compensation expense relating to restricted
shares of $3.6 million and $3.2 million, respectively, and $11.5 million and $10.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, all of which has been included in Employee compensation and benefits on the
Consolidated Statements of Income. The total income tax benefit recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Income related to restricted shares was $1.4 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005,
respectively, and $4.6 million and $4.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Based upon the value at date of vest, the cumulative fair value of restricted shares that vested during
the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $12.4 million. Compensation costs previously recognized with respect to these vested restricted shares was $9.7 million.

There is $18.5 million of unamortized compensation related to the unvested restricted shares outstanding at September 30, 2006. The cost of these
unvested restricted shares is expected to be recognized over a weighted average life of 1.2 years.

Stock Options

The Companys policy is to grant options for the purchase of shares of Class A Common Stock at not less than market value, which the Plans
define as the average of the high and low sales price on the date prior to the grant date. Options generally vest ratably over a three or four-year period and expire on the fifth or tenth anniversary of the grant date, pursuant to the terms of the
applicable option award agreement. The Company has the right to fully vest employees in their awards upon retirement and in certain other circumstances. Awards are otherwise canceled if employment is terminated before the end of the relevant vesting
period.

The fair value of each option granted is estimated as of its respective grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
Stock options granted have exercise prices equal to the market value of our common stock at the date of grant as defined by the Plans. The principal assumptions utilized in valuing options and our methodology for estimating such model inputs
include: 1) risk-free interest rate - estimate is based on the yield of U.S. zero coupon securities with a maturity equal to the expected life of the option; 2) expected volatility - estimate is based on several factors including implied volatility
of market-traded options on the Companys common stock on the grant date and the historical volatility of the Companys common stock; and 3) expected option life - estimate is based on internal studies of historical experience and
projected exercise behavior based on different employee groups and specific option characteristics, including the effect of employee terminations. Based on the results of the model, the weighted-average fair value of the 95,000 stock options granted
during the quarter ended September 30, 2006 was $6.12. The weighted-average assumptions used during the quarter ended September 30, 2006 were as follows:



|                         |  |      |

|Expected volatility      |  | 40.0 | %
|Risk-free interest rate  |  | 4.9  | %
|Expected life (in years) |  | 3.5  |  

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company recorded compensation
expense relating to options of $1.9 million and $5.8 million, respectively, all of which was recorded in Employee compensation and benefits on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The total income tax benefit recognized on the Consolidated
Statements of Income related to stock options was $767,000 and $2.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively.

following discussion of our results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including those discussed in our Form 10-K. Our actual results may differ materially from those
anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth elsewhere in this document and in our Form 10-K.

Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including without limitation, those under Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations herein (MD&A), Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in Part I, Item 3, and Legal Proceedings in Part II, Item 1,
and the documents incorporated by reference, may constitute forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the Companys industry,
managements beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Accordingly, readers are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of
future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict including, without limitation, risks associated with the costs, integration, performance and operation of the businesses recently
acquired, or that may be acquired in the future, by the Company and the risks associated with the future relationships of the Deephaven managers with Deephaven. Since such statements involve risks and uncertainties, the actual results and
performance of the Company may turn out to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking
statements. Unless otherwise required by law, the Company also disclaims any obligation to update its view of any such risks or uncertainties or to announce publicly the result of any revisions to the forward looking statements made in this report.
Readers should carefully review the risks and uncertainties detailed under Certain Factors Affecting Results of Operations within MD&A herein, in Risk Factors in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in other

Totals may not add due to rounding.

Consolidated Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2006 increased $25.9 million, or 14.1% from the same period a year ago, while
Consolidated Operating Expenses increased $19.4 million or 14.0%. Overall, Consolidated Pre-Tax Operating Earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2006 increased $6.5 million from the same period a year ago.

Consolidated Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased $257.8 million, or 59.5% from the same period a year ago, while
Consolidated Operating Expenses increased $117.7 million or 31.0%. Overall, Consolidated Pre-Tax Operating Earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased $140.0 million from the same period a year ago.

The changes in our Pre-Tax Operating Earnings by segment from the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 to the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2006, respectively, are summarized as follows:



| |  |  | Asset ManagementOur Pre-Tax Operating Earnings from Asset Management for the three months ended September 30, 2006 were higher than for the
comparable period in 2005 primarily due to higher incentive fees as a result of higher average assets under management. For the nine months ended

##### Table of Contents

| | September 30, 2006, our Pre-Tax Operating Earnings increased from the prior year period primarily due to higher incentive fees as a result of the
increase in fund returns.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Global MarketsFor the three months ended September 30, 2006, our Pre-Tax Operating Earnings from Global Markets improved from comparable results from the same
period a year ago, primarily due to increased revenue capture offset, in part, by lower dollar value traded. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, our Pre-Tax Operating Earnings improved significantly from the same period a year ago,
primarily due to the expansion of our electronic trading effort and automation of executions of most of our broker-dealer order flow, increased revenue capture and volumes and improved market conditions.

| |  |  | CorporateIncluded in the results of our Corporate segment are gains on the sales of our investments in the International Securities Exchange, Inc. (ISE) and
The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (Nasdaq Inc.). Included in Revenues and Pre-Tax Operating Earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 are pre-tax gains of $7.2 million and $14.3 million, respectively, related to
the sale of a portion of the Companys equity ownership in the ISE. Included in Revenues and Pre-Tax Operating Earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2005 is a pre-tax loss of $2.2 million from our investment in Nasdaq Inc.
Included in Revenues and Pre-Tax Operating Earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 is a pre-tax gain of $9.6 million related to the sale of a portion of our equity ownership in the ISE and a pre-tax gain of $5.9 million related to
the sale of our investment in Nasdaq Inc. Excluding these gains, Pre-Tax Operating Earnings decreased by $8.5 million and increased by $2.2 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006, respectively, primarily due to
fluctuations in returns on our Deephaven corporate investments.

A reconciliation of income from continuing operations before
income taxes in accordance with GAAP (Pre-Tax GAAP Income) to Pre-Tax Operating Earnings and of total GAAP expenses to Operating Expenses is included elsewhere in this section.

Certain Factors Affecting Results of Operations

We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, significant fluctuations in operating results due to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, introductions or enhancements to trade execution services by us or our
competitors; the value of our securities positions and our ability to manage the risks attendant thereto; the volume of our market-making activities; the dollar value of securities traded; volatility in the securities markets; our market share with
broker-dealer and institutional clients; the performance, amount of, and volatility in, the results of our quantitative market-making and program trading portfolios; the performance of our international operations; our ability to manage personnel,
overhead and other expenses, including our occupancy expenses under our office leases and expenses and charges related to our legal and regulatory proceedings; the strength of our client relationships; changes in payments for order flow and
clearing, execution and regulatory transaction costs; the level of assets under management and fund returns; the addition or loss of executive management and asset management, sales and trading and technology professionals; legislative, legal and
regulatory changes; legal and regulatory matters; geopolitical risk; the amount and timing of capital expenditures, acquisitions and divestitures; the integration, performance and operation of acquired businesses; the incurrence of costs associated
with acquisitions and dispositions; investor sentiment; technological changes and events; seasonality; competition and market and economic conditions. Such factors may also have an impact on our ability to achieve our strategic objectives,
including, without limitation, increases in our institutional market share and revenue capture in our Global Markets segment and increases in our fund returns and assets under management in our Asset Management segment. If demand for our services
declines in any of our segments due to any of the above factors, and we are unable to adjust our cost structure on a timely basis, our operating results and strategic objectives could be materially and adversely affected.

##### Table of Contents

As a result of the foregoing factors, period-to-period comparisons of our revenues and operating results
are not necessarily meaningful and such comparisons cannot be relied upon as indicators of future performance. There also can be no assurance that we will be able to return to the rates of revenue growth that we have experienced in the past or that
we will be able to improve our operating results.

Trends

We believe that our continuing operations are currently impacted by the following trends that may affect our financial condition and results of operations:



| |  |  | Over the past several years, the effects of market structure changes, competition and market conditions have resulted in a lower revenue capture per U.S. equity dollar value traded
in our Global Markets operations.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Retail broker-dealer participation in the equity markets has fluctuated over the past few years due to investor sentiment, market conditions and a variety of other factors. Retail
transaction volumes may not be sustainable and are not predictable.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Broker-dealer clients continue to focus on statistics measuring the quality of equity executions (including speed of executions and price improvement). In an effort to improve the
quality of their executions as well as increase efficiencies, market-makers have increased the level of automation within their operations. The greater focus on execution quality has resulted in greater competition in the marketplace, which has
negatively impacted the revenue capture metrics of the Company and other market-making firms.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Market structure changes, competition and market conditions have triggered an industry shift toward market-makers charging explicit commissions or commission equivalents to
institutional clients for executions in U.S. equities. For the majority of our institutional client orders, we currently charge explicit fees in the form of commissions or commission equivalents. In addition, institutional commission rates have
fallen in the past few years, and may continue to fall in the future.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Due to regulatory scrutiny over the past several years relating to equity sell-side research and the continued focus by investors on execution quality and overall transaction costs,
more institutional clients allocate commissions to broker-dealers based on the quality of executions. In the past, institutional equity commissions were primarily allocated to broker-dealers in exchange for either research or soft dollar and
commission recapture programs.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | There has been increased scrutiny of equity and option market-makers, hedge funds and soft dollar practices by the regulatory and legislative authorities. New legislation or
modifications to existing regulations and rules could occur in the future.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | There has been consolidation among market centers over the past year, and several regional exchanges have entered into joint ventures with broker-dealers to create their own
alternative trading systems (e.g. ECNs) and compete within the OTC and listed trading venues.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | There has been a proliferation of firms offering alternative investments, which has had the effect of materially increasing competition for new investor assets.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Income Statement Items

The following section briefly describes the key components of, and drivers to, our significant revenues and expenses.

Revenues

Our revenues consist principally of Commissions and fees and Net trading revenue from U.S. securities trading and market-making
activities from Global Markets. Revenues on transactions for which we charge explicit commissions or commission equivalents, which include the majority of our institutional client orders, are included



24

##### Table of Contents

within Commissions and fees. Commissions and fees are primarily affected by changes in our equity transaction volumes with institutional clients, changes in
commission rates, the growth of Direct Edge and Hotspot and the growth of our soft dollar and commission recapture activity as well as by changes in execution fees charged to clients and fees earned for directing trades to certain destinations for
execution and from certain market data providers.

Trading profits and losses on principal transactions are included within Net trading
revenue. These revenues are primarily affected by changes in the amount and mix of U.S. equity trade and share volumes, our revenue capture, dollar value of equities traded, our ability to derive trading gains by taking proprietary positions,
changes in our execution standards, volatility in the marketplace, industry commission levels, our mix of broker-dealer and institutional clients, and regulatory changes and evolving industry customs and practices.

Asset management fees represent fees earned by Deephaven for sponsoring and managing the Deephaven Funds. These fees consist of annual management fees,
calculated as fixed percentages of assets under management, and incentive fees, generally calculated as a percentage of the funds year-to-date profits, if any.

We earn interest income from our cash held at banks and cash held in trading accounts at clearing brokers. The Companys clearing agreements call for payment or receipt of interest income, net of
transaction-related interest charged by clearing brokers for facilitating the settlement and financing of securities transactions. Net interest is primarily affected by interest rates, the changes in cash balances held at banks and clearing brokers
and our level of securities positions in which we are long compared to our securities positions in which we are short.

Investment income
and other income primarily represent income earned, net of losses, related to our corporate investment in the Deephaven Funds and our strategic investments. Such income is primarily affected by the level of our corporate investments in our Deephaven
Funds and rates of return earned by the Deephaven Funds as well as the performance and activity of our strategic investments.

Transaction-based expenses

Transaction-based expenses include transaction-based variable expenses directly incurred in
conjunction with generating Net trading revenue and Commissions and fees and consist of Execution and clearance fees, Soft dollar and commission recapture expense, and Payments for order flow and ECN rebates.

Execution and clearance fees primarily represent clearance fees paid to clearing brokers for equities transactions, transaction fees paid to Nasdaq and
other exchanges and regulatory bodies, and execution fees paid to third parties, primarily for executing trades on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and other exchanges, and for executing orders through third party ECNs. Execution and
clearance fees primarily fluctuate based on changes in equity trade and share volume, clearance fees charged by clearing brokers and fees paid to ECNs, exchanges and certain regulatory bodies.

Soft dollar and commission recapture expense represent payments to institutions in connection with our soft dollar and commission recapture programs.
Soft dollar and commission recapture expense fluctuates based on U.S. equity share volume executed on behalf of institutions.

Payments for
order flow and ECN rebates represent payments to broker-dealer clients, in the normal course of business, for directing to us their order flow in U.S. equities and rebates for providing liquidity to our ECN, Direct Edge. Payments for order flow and
ECN rebates fluctuate as we modify our rates and as our percentage of clients whose policy is not to accept payments for order flow varies. Payments for order flow and ECN rebates also fluctuate based on our payment rates, U.S. equity share volume,
our profitability and the mix of market orders and limit orders.

Other direct expenses

Other direct expenses primarily consist of Employee compensation and benefits, Communications and data processing, Professional fees, Depreciation and
amortization and Occupancy and equipment rentals.

Employee compensation and benefits expense, our largest expense, primarily consists of
salaries and wages paid to all employees and profitability-based compensation, which includes compensation paid to sales personnel and incentive compensation paid to all other employees based on our profitability. Compensation for employees engaged
in sales activities is determined primarily based on a percentage of their gross revenues net of certain transaction-based expenses. The majority of compensation in Asset Management is determined by formulas based upon the profitability of the Asset
Management segment, subject to certain minimum guaranteed payments. Employee compensation and benefits expense fluctuates, for the most part, based on changes in our revenues, profitability and the number of employees.

Communications and data processing expense primarily consists of costs for obtaining market data, telecommunications services and systems maintenance.

ended September 30, 2006, from $42.3 million for the comparable period in 2005. The increase is primarily due to higher incentive fees as a result of higher average assets under management. The average month-end balance of assets under
management for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $3.5 billion, up from $3.4 billion for the comparable period in 2005. The blended quarterly fund return across all assets under management for the three months ended

Total revenues from the Global Markets segment, which primarily comprises Commissions and fees and
Net trading revenue from our domestic businesses, increased 12.5% to $145.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, from $129.4 million for the comparable period in 2005. Revenues for the three months ended September 30,
2006 were positively impacted by an increase in revenue capture per U.S. equity dollar value traded, the expansion of our electronic trading effort and the automation of executions of most of our broker-dealer order flow. Additionally, revenues for
the three months ended September 30, 2006 were positively impacted by the additions of Direct Edge and Hotspot, which were acquired in October 2005 and April 2006, respectively. Excluding the impact of Direct Edge and Hotspot, total revenues
from the Global Markets segment would have increased 1.6% to $131.5 million in the third quarter of 2006, from $129.4 million in the third quarter of 2005. Revenues were also positively impacted by new fees charged to clients in connection with
certain transaction-based regulatory costs incurred by the Company. These fees increased Commissions and fees by $5.0 million in the third quarter of 2006. Approximately one half of these fees related to client transaction activity in 2006 while the
remaining half related to client transaction activity in 2005 and prior years.

Average revenue capture per U.S. equity dollar value traded
was 2.2 basis points (bps) for the third quarter of 2006, up 10.1% from 2.0 bps in the third quarter of 2005. Average revenue capture per U.S. equity dollar value traded is calculated as the total of net domestic trading revenues plus
U.S. institutional commissions and commission equivalents (included in Commissions and fees), less certain transaction-related regulatory fees (included in Execution and clearance fees), (collectively Core Equity Revenues) divided by the
total dollar value of the related equity transactions. Core Equity Revenues were $89.1 million and $92.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Core Equity Revenues do not include revenues from
KEMILs European institutional business, Donaldson, Direct Trading, Direct Edge and Hotspot.

months ended September 30, 2006 is a pre-tax gain of $7.2 million related to the sale of a portion of the Companys equity investment in the ISE.
Included in the three months ended September 30, 2005 is a pre-tax loss of $2.2 million from our investment in Nasdaq Inc.

Transaction-based expenses

Execution and clearance fees decreased 10.1% to $22.1 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2006, from $24.6 million for the comparable period in 2005, primarily due to lower volumes. As a percentage of total revenue, Execution and clearance fees decreased to 10.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2006, from
13.4% for the comparable period in 2005. These costs decreased as a percentage of revenue primarily due to the increase in revenues from Asset Management, which have no associated execution and clearance fees, and higher revenue capture. Execution
and clearance fees fluctuate based on changes in transaction volumes, regulatory fees and efficiencies in processing the transactions.

Soft dollar and commission recapture expense increased 3.3% to $16.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, from $15.9 million for the comparable period in 2005, primarily due to an increase in institutional commission
income.

Payments for order flow and ECN rebates increased to $9.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, from $3.9
million for the comparable period in 2005. As a percentage of total revenue, Payments for order flow and ECN rebates increased to 4.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2006, from 2.1% for the comparable period in 2005. This expense
increased primarily due to increased profitability-based rebates paid to broker-dealer clients and the addition of the Direct Edge business in October 2005.

Other direct expenses

Employee compensation and benefits expense increased 20.9% to $82.5 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2006, from $68.3 million for the comparable period in 2005. As a percentage of total revenue, Employee compensation and benefits increased to 39.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2006,
from 37.1% for the comparable period in 2005. The increase on a dollar basis was primarily due to stronger overall results, which led to higher profitability-based compensation, particularly in the Asset Management segment which has a higher
compensation to revenue ratio than the Global Markets segment. Also contributing to this increase was the additional compensation related to Direct Edge and Hotspot. The number of full time employees in our continuing operations increased to 814 at
September 30, 2006, from 699 at September 30, 2005, primarily due to the addition of these new businesses.

Communications and
data processing expense increased 6.5% to $8.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, from $8.0 million for the comparable period in 2005. Depreciation and amortization expense increased 29.4% to $5.4 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2006, from $4.2 million for the comparable period in 2005 due to the purchase of additional fixed assets and additional expense related to the amortization of intangible assets in connection with the acquisition of
Hotspot. Occupancy and equipment rentals expense remained stable at $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.

Professional fees decreased 38.3% to $3.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, from $6.1 million for the comparable period in 2005. The decrease in 2006 was primarily due to decreases in legal expenses, which have
fluctuated based on the activity relating to our various legal and regulatory proceedings, and consulting expenses.

Business development
expense increased to $3.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, from $1.6 million for the comparable period in 2005. The primary reason for the increase was higher expenses related to the corporate brand platform, marketing and
travel and entertainment costs.

Other expenses were $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $2.8 million for the comparable period in 2005 due to

Total revenues from the Asset Management segment, which primarily consists of Asset management fees, increased to $135.8 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2006, from $68.3 million for the comparable period in 2005. The increase is primarily due to higher incentive fees as a result of an increase in fund returns, partially offset by lower management fees due to lower average
assets under management. The average month-end balance of assets under management for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $3.2 billion, down from $3.4 billion for the comparable period in 2005. The blended fund return across all assets

Total revenues from the Global Markets segment, which primarily comprises Commissions and fees and Net
trading revenue from our domestic businesses, increased 53.5% to $515.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from $335.9 million for the comparable period in 2005. Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were
positively impacted by improved market conditions, higher dollar volumes, an increase in revenue capture per U.S. equity dollar value traded, the expansion of our electronic trading effort and the automation of executions of most of our
broker-dealer order flow. Additionally, revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were positively impacted by the addition of Direct Trading, Direct Edge and Hotspot, which were acquired in June 2005, October 2005 and April
2006, respectively. Excluding the impact of Direct Trading, Direct Edge and Hotspot, total revenues from Global Markets would have increased 37.5% to $446.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from $324.7 million for the same
period in 2005. Revenues were also positively impacted by new fees charged to clients in connection with certain transaction-based regulatory costs incurred by the Company. These fees increased Commissions and fees by $16.8 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006. Approximately $7.1 million of these fees related to client transaction activity for the first nine months ended September 30, 2006 while the remaining $9.7 million related to client transaction activity in
2005 and prior years.

Average revenue capture per U.S. equity dollar value traded was 2.2 bps for the nine months ended September 30,
2006, up approximately 25% from 1.7 bps for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Core Equity Revenues were $334.6 million and $241.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. As previously noted,
Core Equity Revenues do not include revenues from KEMILs European institutional business, Donaldson, Direct Trading, Direct Edge and Hotspot.

Total revenues from the Corporate segment, which primarily represents income from our corporate
investment in the Deephaven Funds and other strategic investments, increased to $39.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from $29.2 million for the comparable period in 2005. Income from our corporate investment in the
Deephaven Funds increased to $24.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from $11.5 million for the comparable period in 2005. Included in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 is a pre-tax gain of $14.3 million related
to the sale of a portion of the Companys equity investment in the ISE. Included in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 are pre-tax gains of $9.6 million and $5.9 million related to the sale of a portion of the Companys equity
investment in the ISE and from our investment in Nasdaq Inc., respectively.

Transaction-based expenses

Execution and clearance fees increased 13.4% to $81.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from $71.5 million for the comparable
period in 2005 primarily due to higher volumes. As a percentage of total revenue, execution and clearance fees decreased to 11.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from 16.5% for the comparable period in 2005. These costs decreased
as a percentage of revenue primarily due to the increase in revenues from Asset Management, which have no associated execution and clearance fees, and higher revenue capture. Execution and clearance fees fluctuate based on changes in transaction
volumes, regulatory fees and efficiencies in processing the transactions.

Soft dollar and commission recapture expense increased 11.9% to
$51.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from $46.0 million for the comparable period in 2005, primarily due to the addition of the Direct Trading business in June 2005.

Payments for order flow and ECN rebates increased to $31.7 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006, from $14.8 million for the comparable period in 2005. As a percentage of total revenue, Payments for order flow and ECN rebates increased to 4.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from 3.4% for the
comparable period in 2005. This expense increased primarily due to increased profitability-based rebates paid to broker-dealer clients and the addition of the Direct Edge business in October 2005.

Other direct expenses

Employee
compensation and benefits expense increased 42.3% to $246.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from $173.3 million for the comparable period in 2005. As a percentage of total revenue, Employee compensation and benefits
decreased to 35.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from 40.0% for the comparable period in 2005. The increase on a dollar basis was primarily due to stronger overall results, which led to higher profitability-based compensation,
and the addition of Direct Trading, Direct Edge and Hotspot. The number of full-time employees in our continuing operations increased to 814 at September 30, 2006, from 699 at September 30, 2005, primarily due to the addition of our new
businesses.

Communications and data processing expense increased to $24.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from
$23.9 million for the comparable period in 2005, due to technology costs incurred relating to our new businesses within the Global Markets segment in 2005 and 2006. Depreciation and amortization expense increased 24.0% to $15.2 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006, from $12.2 million for the comparable period in 2005 due to the purchase of additional fixed assets and additional expense related to the amortization of intangible assets in connection with the acquisitions of
Direct Trading and Hotspot. Occupancy and equipment rentals expense decreased slightly to $9.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from $10.2 million for the comparable period in 2005, primarily due to lower occupancy costs in
the first half of 2006 due to the move from our old headquarters in Jersey City, N.J. in the second quarter of 2005, offset by a $750,000 one-time benefit relating to a reduction of certain lease obligations at our former London office site in the
second quarter of 2005. Excluding this one-time benefit, Occupancy and equipment rentals would have decreased by 9.3% due to the lease loss accrual recorded in the first quarter 2006.

Professional fees increased 5.7% to $15.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from $14.4 million for the comparable period in
2005. The increase in 2006 was primarily due to increases in legal expenses, which have fluctuated based on the activity relating to our various legal and regulatory proceedings, and consulting expenses.

Business development expense increased to $8.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from $4.6 million for the comparable period in
2005. The primary reason for the increase was higher expenses related to the corporate brand platform, marketing and travel and entertainment costs.

Other expenses increased to $13.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from $8.9 million for the comparable period in 2005. Other expenses in 2006 include a short swing profit settlement of
approximately $2.8 million relating to trading by two Deephaven funds in the shares of a company while the funds owned in aggregate more than 10% of the outstanding shares of the stock of that company.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company incurred charges of $8.5 million in writedowns of assets and lease loss accruals primarily
relating to costs associated with excess real estate capacity in Jersey City, N.J. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 the Company incurred charges of $12.1 million. These charges consisted of $10.1 million, which primarily related to
the costs associated with excess real estate capacity in Jersey City, N.J. and $2.0 million of regulatory charges and related matters.

Our
effective tax rates from continuing operations of 40.0% and 41.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, differed from the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state income taxes and non-deductible
charges.

Liquidity and Capital
Resources

Historically, we have financed our business primarily through cash generated by operations, as well as the proceeds from
our stock issuances and from the proceeds from the sale of our Derivative Markets segment in 2004. As of September 30, 2006, we had $1.8 billion in assets, 64.2% of which consisted of cash or assets readily convertible into cash, principally
receivables from brokers and dealers and securities owned. Receivables from brokers and dealers include interest bearing cash balances held with clearing brokers, including, or net of, amounts related to securities transactions that have not yet
reached their contracted settlement date, which is generally within three business days of the trade date. Securities owned principally consist of equity securities that trade in Nasdaq, on the OTC Bulletin Board and on the NYSE and American Stock
Exchange markets. At September 30, 2006, the Company had net current assets, which consist of net assets readily convertible into cash, of approximately $314.1 million. Additionally, our corporate investment in the Deephaven Funds was $203.0
million at September 30, 2006. The majority of this investment can be liquidated upon request to Deephaven subject to a ninety-day written notification period and monthly redemption limits.

The Company has previously disclosed its intent to pursue selective acquisitions of (or possible joint ventures with) complementary businesses primarily
in the markets in which our Global Markets and Asset Management segments operate. We expect to fund the purchase price of any such acquisition with our current cash position or, in some cases, through the issuance of the Companys stock or
debt. In June 2005, the Company acquired, for cash, the business of Direct Trading Institutional, Inc. (now operating as Direct Trading), a privately held firm specializing in providing institutions with direct market access trading through an
advanced electronic platform. The acquisition of the business of Direct Trading contains an additional contingency due in the third quarter of 2007 based on the profitability of the business. In October 2005, the Company acquired, for cash, the
business of the ATTAIN ECN, an alternative trading system that operates an ECN for the trading of Nasdaq securities. This business currently operates under the name, Direct Edge. The acquisition of Direct Edge contains a four-year contingency from
the date of closing for additional consideration based on meeting certain

revenue and client retention metrics. In the first nine months of 2006, the Company paid $14.7 million relating to contingency payment obligations incurred
in the acquisition of the businesses now operating as Direct Edge and Direct Trading, of which, $12.7 million was paid in the third quarter of 2006. In April 2006, the Company acquired, for $77.5 million in cash, Hotspot FX, Inc., a leading
electronic foreign exchange marketplace that provides access to electronic foreign exchange spot trade executions through an advanced ECN-based platform. On October 2, 2006, the Company acquired, for $18.2 million in cash, ValuBond, Inc., a
privately held firm that provides electronic access and trade execution products for the fixed income market. No assurance can be given with respect to the business effect of these transactions or the timing, likelihood or business effect of any
other possible transaction.

As discussed elsewhere in this document, we sold our Derivative Markets business for approximately $237
million in cash in December 2004. The final purchase price was subject to adjustment based on the final determination of the book value of the Derivative Markets business at the time the deal closed. In the first three quarters of 2005, the result
of this adjustment and other expenses related to the sale resulted in a gain of $122,000, net of tax.

Income from continuing operations
before income taxes was $52.1 million and $40.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Included in these amounts were certain non-cash expenses such as depreciation and amortization. Depreciation expense
from continuing operations was $4.1 million and $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Amortization expense from continuing operations, which related to intangible assets, was $1.3 million and
$735,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Capital expenditures related to our continuing
operations were $3.0 million and $5.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Purchases, net of proceeds, from strategic investments and acquisitions related to our continuing operations were $20.4
million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and ($604,000) for the three months ended September 30, 2005, respectively. Strategic investments and acquisition expenditures primarily relate to outside investments and acquisitions
of businesses in support of the development and growth of our business. Our corporate investment in the Deephaven Funds decreased by $25.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to an increase of $54.6 million during the
three months ended September 30, 2005. The change in the balance of our corporate investment in the Deephaven Funds for the three months ended September 30, 2006 primarily relates to net redemptions of $30.7 million offset by positive
returns on our investments of $4.8 million. The change in the balance of our corporate investment in the Deephaven Funds for the three months ended September 30, 2005 primarily related to an additional investment of $40.0 million, as well as a
positive return on our investments of $14.6 million.

At its April 18, 2006 meeting, the Board of Directors authorized an additional
increase in the size of the Companys stock repurchase program from $345 million to $495 million. The Company repurchased approximately 585,000 shares under the stock repurchase program during the third quarter of 2006 for $9.4 million. Through
September 30, 2006, the Company had repurchased 39.6 million shares for $328.7 million under its stock repurchase program. The Company may repurchase shares in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, depending
on prevailing market conditions, alternative uses of capital and other factors. The Company cautions that there are no assurances that any further repurchases may actually occur. The Company had approximately 105.6 million shares
of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of September 30, 2006.

Our U.S. registered broker-dealers are subject to regulatory
requirements intended to ensure the general financial soundness and liquidity of broker-dealers and requiring the maintenance of minimum levels of net capital, as defined in SEC Rule 15c3-1. These regulations also prohibit a broker-dealer from
repaying subordinated borrowings, paying cash dividends, making loans to its parent, affiliates or employees, or otherwise entering into transactions which would result in a reduction of its total net capital to less than 120% of its



34

##### Table of Contents

required minimum capital. Moreover, broker-dealers are required to notify the SEC and NASD prior to repaying subordinated borrowings, paying dividends and
making loans to its parent, affiliates or employees, or otherwise entering into transactions, which, if executed, would result in a reduction of 30% or more of its excess net capital (net capital less minimum requirement). The SEC has the ability to
prohibit or restrict such transactions if the result is detrimental to the financial integrity of the broker-dealer. Additionally, our foreign registered broker-dealers and Futures Commission Merchant are subject to capital adequacy requirements of
their respective regulatory authorities. The following table sets forth the net capital levels and requirements for the following significant regulated broker-dealer subsidiaries at September 30, 2006, as filed in their respective regulatory
filings (in millions):

We have no long-term debt at September 30, 2006 nor do we currently have any material
long-term debt commitments for the rest of 2006. We currently anticipate that available cash resources and credit facilities will be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12
months.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2006, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303 (a) (4) (ii) of SEC Regulation S-K.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions. We believe that, of our significant accounting policies, the following policies involve a higher degree of judgment.

Lease Loss AccrualIt is the Companys policy to identify excess real estate capacity and where applicable, accrue against such future
costs. In determining the accrual, a nominal cash flow analysis is performed for lease losses initiated prior to December 31, 2002, the effective date of SFAS No. 146 Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities,
and costs related to the excess capacity are accrued. For lease losses initiated after December 31, 2002, the Companys policy is to accrue future costs related to excess capacity using a discounted cash flow analysis. We continually
monitor the market rates for office space and the amount of available office space in Jersey City, N.J. to assess the reasonableness of our applicable assumptions.

Impairment of Goodwill and Intangible AssetsThe useful lives of goodwill and intangible assets are determined upon acquisition. Intangible assets are amortized over their respective lives. Goodwill and
the useful lives of intangible assets are tested for impairment, at a minimum, annually or when an event occurs or circumstances change that signifies the existence of impairment.

Goodwill of $118.1 million as of September 30, 2006 is all related to our Global Markets segment. Goodwill is related to the purchases of our listed
equities market-maker, KCM, the business of Donaldson, the shares of the minority investors in Knight Roundtable Europe Limited, our subsidiary that owns KEMIL, and the businesses now operating as Direct Trading, Direct Edge and Hotspot. During our
annual test for impairment completed in the second quarter of 2006, we determined that these assets were not impaired. As part of our test for impairment, we considered the profitability of the applicable reporting unit, an assessment of fair value
of the



35



---

##### Table of Contents

reporting unit based on various valuation methodologies, as well as the overall market value of the Company, compared to the Companys book value.

Intangible assets, less accumulated amortization, of $61.4 million as of September 30, 2006 are all attributable to our Global
Markets segment. Substantially all intangible assets resulted from the purchases of the businesses of Donaldson, which represents $10.4 million of the balance, Direct Trading, which represents $17.1 million of the balance, and Hotspot, which
represents $33.8 million. These assets, which primarily consist of customer relationships, are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives, which we have determined to range from two to thirty years. During our annual test for
impairment completed in June 2006, we determined that there was no impairment of these intangible assets.

Strategic
InvestmentsInvestments include non-controlling equity ownership interests in financial services-related businesses, which are accounted for under the equity method or at fair value. The equity method of accounting is used for investments
in limited partnerships and limited liability corporations. The fair value of investments, recorded in the Companys broker-dealer subsidiaries, for which a quoted market or dealer price is not available for the size of our investment is based
on managements estimate. Among the factors considered by management in determining the fair value of investments are the cost of the investment, terms and liquidity, developments since the acquisition of the investment, the sales price of
recently issued securities, the financial condition and operating results of the issuer, earnings trends and consistency of operating cash flows, the long-term business potential of the issuer, the quoted market price of securities with similar
quality and yield that are publicly traded, and other factors generally pertinent to the valuation of investments. The fair value of these investments is subject to a high degree of volatility and may be susceptible to significant fluctuations in
the near term.

Investments classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses excluded from
earnings and reported, net of applicable taxes, in Accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax within Stockholders Equity on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Investments not recorded in the Companys
broker-dealer subsidiaries, which do not have a readily determinable fair value, are recorded at amortized cost.

Strategic investments are
reviewed on an ongoing basis to ensure that the carrying values of the investments have not been impaired. If the Company assesses that an impairment loss on the strategic investments has occurred due to declines in fair value or other market
conditions, the investment is written down to its impairment value. The Company reviewed its strategic investments for impairment for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and determined that an impairment loss had not occurred.

Market-Making ActivitiesSecurities owned and securities sold, not yet purchased, which primarily consist of listed and OTC stocks, are
carried at market value and are recorded on a trade date basis. Market value is estimated daily using market quotations available from major securities exchanges and dealers.

Asset Management FeesDeephaven earns asset management fees for sponsoring and managing the Deephaven Funds. These fees are recorded monthly
as earned and are calculated as a percentage of each Deephaven Funds monthly net assets, plus a percentage of a new high net asset value (the Incentive Allocation Fee), as defined, for any six month period ended June 30th or
December 31st. A new high net asset value is defined as the amount by which the net asset value of the particular Deephaven fund exceeds the greater of either the highest previous net asset value in that Deephaven fund or the net asset value at
the time each investor in that fund made his purchase. The Incentive Allocation Fee may increase or decrease during the year based on the performance of the Deephaven Funds and the level of assets under management. If Deephavens Market Neutral
Fund, which represents approximately 40% of the total Deephaven assets under management, recognizes a loss in the second half of a calendar year, the Incentive Allocation Fee is recalculated on an annual rather than a semi-annual basis. As such, the
Incentive Allocation Fee may be negative for certain periods, but not lower than zero on a year-to-date basis.

##### Table of Contents

Writedown of Fixed AssetsWritedowns of fixed assets are recognized when it is determined
that the fixed assets are impaired. The amount of the impairment is determined by the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value of the fixed asset. In determining the impairment, an estimated fair value is obtained through
research and inquiry of the market. Fixed assets are reviewed for impairment on a periodic basis.

Other EstimatesThe
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions. In addition to the estimates that we make in connection with accounting for the items noted above, the use of estimates is
also important in determining provisions for potential losses that may arise from litigation, regulatory proceedings and tax audits.

SFAS
No. 123-R requires that we make certain estimates and assumptions relating to volatility and forfeiture rates when determining stock-based employee compensation expense. Volatility is estimated based on several factors including implied
volatility of market-traded options on our common stock on the grant date and the historical volatility of the Companys common stock. Forfeiture rates are estimated based on historical rates of forfeiture of employee stock awards.

A portion of our Employee compensation and benefits expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income represents discretionary bonuses, which are
accrued for throughout the year and paid after the end of the year. Among many factors, discretionary bonus accruals are generally influenced by the Companys overall performance and competitive industry compensation levels.

We estimate and accrue for potential losses that may arise out of litigation, regulatory proceedings and tax audits to the extent that such losses are
probable and can be estimated in accordance with SFAS No. 5 Accounting for Contingencies. Significant judgment is required in making these estimates and our final liabilities may ultimately be materially different. Our total liability
accrued with respect to litigation and regulatory proceedings is determined on a case-by-case basis and represents an estimate of probable losses based on, among other factors, the progress of each case, our experience with and industry experience
with similar cases and the opinions and views of internal and external legal counsel. Given the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of our litigation and regulatory matters, particularly in cases or proceedings in which substantial or
indeterminate damages or fines are sought, or where cases or proceedings are in the early stages, we cannot estimate losses or ranges of losses for cases or proceedings where there is only a reasonable possibility that a loss may be incurred. For
more information on our legal and regulatory matters, see Legal Proceedings in Part I, Item 3 of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1 included in this document.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December
2004, the FASB issued a revision to SFAS No. 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, SFAS No. 123-R, Share-Based Payment(SFAS No. 123-R). SFAS No. 123-R focuses primarily on transactions in which
an entity exchanges its equity instruments for employee services. SFAS No. 123-R eliminates the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board No. 25 as an alternative method of accounting for stock-based awards. Additionally
SFAS No. 123-R clarifies SFAS No. 123s guidance in several areas including measuring fair value, classifying an award as equity or as a liability and attributing compensation cost to reporting periods. See Footnote 2
Significant Accounting Policies and Footnote 14, Stock-Based Compensation included in Part I, Item 1 Financial Statements of this document for a further discussion.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan Interpretation of FASB Statement
No. 109(FIN 48), which clarifies the way companies account for uncertainty in income taxes. FIN 48 provides guidance related to a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition
and measurement of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken as a tax return. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We do not expect the adoption of FIN 48 to have a material impact on our consolidated
financial statements.

##### Table of Contents

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 Fair Value Measurements (SFAS
No. 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for the Company beginning as of January 1, 2008. We are
currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting SFAS No. 157.

In September 2006, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin
No. 108 Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements(SAB 108), which provides guidance on quantifying and evaluating the materiality of unrecorded
prior year misstatements. The SEC staff indicates that the Company should quantify the impact of correcting all misstatements, including both the carryover and reversing effects of prior year misstatements, on the current year financial statements.
Companies may choose to restate their financial statements for any material misstatements arising from the application of SAB 108 or recognize a cumulative effect adjustment within the current year opening balance in retained earnings, with
disclosure of such items. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. We do not expect the adoption of SAB 108 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market Risk

Our market-making and trading activities expose our capital to significant risks. These risks include, but are not limited to, absolute and relative price
movements, price volatility and changes in liquidity, over which we have virtually no control.

For working capital purposes, we invest in
money market funds, commercial paper and government securities or maintain interest-bearing balances in our trading accounts with clearing brokers, which are classified as Cash and cash equivalents and Receivable from brokers and dealers,
respectively, on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. These other amounts do not have maturity dates or present a material market risk, as the balances are short-term in nature and subject to daily repricing. Our cash and cash
equivalents held in foreign currencies are subject to the exposure of foreign currency fluctuations. These balances are monitored daily, and are not material to the Companys overall cash position.

In Global Markets, we employ automated proprietary trading and position management systems that provide real-time, on-line position management and
inventory control. We monitor our risks by reviewing trading positions and their appropriate risk measures. We have established a system whereby transactions are monitored by senior management on a real-time basis as are individual and aggregate
dollar and inventory position totals and real-time profits and losses. The management of trading positions is enhanced by review of mark-to-market valuations and position summaries on a daily basis.

In the normal course of our equities market-making business, we maintain inventories of exchange-listed and OTC equity securities. The fair value of
these securities at September 30, 2006 and 2005 was $544.2 million and $367.8 million, respectively, in long positions and $524.9 million and $330.3 million, respectively, in short positions. The potential change in fair value, using a
hypothetical 10% decline in prices, is estimated to be a $1.9 million loss and a $3.8 million loss as of September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, due to the offset of gains in short positions with the losses in long positions.

As of September 30, 2006, we had a $203.0 million corporate investment in the Deephaven Funds, $161.1 million of which was invested in the Market
Neutral Fund. The general objective of market neutral investment strategies is to seek to capture mispricings or spreads between related capital instruments. Within the Market Neutral Fund, Deephaven employs a variety of market neutral investment
strategies, including convertible arbitrage, event arbitrage, relative value equity and distressed debt. Because the primary basis of the Deephaven Funds market neutral strategy is endeavoring to capture mispricings or spreads between related
instruments, rather than attempting to predict or follow absolute price movements, the performance of the Market Neutral



38



---

##### Table of Contents

Fund is intended to be substantially non-correlated with the general debt and equity markets, as well as with a number of other non-traditional investment
strategies. However, there will be unhedged credit risk in the convertible arbitrage portfolio and that part of the portfolio will have some correlation to credit spreads. Market neutral trading strategies also involve other substantial risks, for
example, the disruption in historical pricing relationships and the risk of a tightening of dealer credit, forcing the premature liquidation of positions. The Deephaven Funds also utilize leverage, to the extent available and deemed by Deephaven to
be consistent with the Funds risk/reward objectives, in an attempt to increase returns while maintaining strict risk controls.

Deephaven monitors its trading risks by reviewing trading positions and their appropriate risk measures. We have established a system whereby transactions are monitored by management and an independent risk control function, as are
individual and aggregate dollar and inventory position totals and profits and losses by strategy. The management of trading positions is enhanced by review of mark-to-market valuations and position summaries. There can be no assurances that any of
the Deephaven Funds strategies will be successful in achieving either its risk control or its profit objectives.

Operational Risk

Operational risk can arise from many factors ranging from routine processing errors to potentially costly incidents arising, for example, from major
systems failures. The Company incurs operational risk across all of its business activities, including revenue generating activities as well as support functions. Legal and compliance risk is included in the scope of operational risk and is
discussed below under Legal Risk.

Primary responsibility for the management of operational risk lies with the business
segments and supporting functions. The business segments maintain controls designed to manage and mitigate operational risk for existing activities. In addition, as new products and business activities are developed, operational risks are identified
and controls are designed to mitigate the identified risks.

Disaster recovery plans are in place for critical facilities and resources and
redundancies are built into the systems as deemed appropriate. The Company has also established policies, procedures and technologies to protect its computer and other assets from unauthorized access.

Legal Risk

Legal risk includes the risk of
non-compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements and standards. Legal risk also includes contractual and commercial risk such as the risk that a counterpartys performance obligations will be unenforceable. The Company is
generally subject to extensive regulation in the different jurisdictions in which it conducts its business (see Government Regulation and Market Structure in Part I, Item 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2005). The Company has established procedures based on legal and regulatory requirements that are designed to foster compliance with applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. The Company also has established procedures that
are designed to require that the Companys policies relating to conduct, ethics and business practices are followed.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was
carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and
procedures were effective. There have not been any changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the last fiscal
quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we and certain of our past and present officers,
directors and employees have been named as parties to legal actions, securities arbitrations, administrative claims and regulatory reviews and investigations arising in connection with the conduct of our businesses. We are also subject to several of
these matters at the present time. Although there can be no assurances, at this time the Company believes, based on information currently available, that the outcome of each of the matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated
financial condition of the Company, although they might be material to operating results for any particular period, depending, in part, upon operating results for that period.

Legal

Last Atlantis
Capital LLC et al. v. Chicago Board Options Exchange, Inc. et al.

During the third quarter of 2006, the following development occurred
in the action entitled Last Atlantis Capital LLC et al. v. Chicago Board Options Exchange, Inc. et al., described in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005:

On or about September 15, 2006, the district court dismissed, with prejudice, the federal causes of action in the consolidated complaint, and
dismissed without prejudice, for lack of jurisdiction, the state law causes of action in the consolidated complaint. Judgment was entered by the court on or about September 15, 2006. On or about September 27, 2006,
plaintiffs filed post-trial motions seeking reconsideration of the courts decision and requesting the court vacate its judgment. That motion remains pending. On or about October 13, 2006, plaintiffs filed a Notice
of Appeal with the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals from this decision and judgment and from decisions and orders of the district court issued in 2005 dismissing the original complaints filed in this and related cases. The Notice of Appeal
is stayed until plaintiffs post-trial motions are disposed of by the district court.

Regulatory

The Company owns subsidiaries including regulated broker-dealers that are subject to extensive oversight under federal, state and applicable international
laws as well as SRO rules. Changes in market structure and the need to remain competitive require constant changes to our systems and order handling procedures. The Company makes these changes while continuously endeavoring to comply with many
complex laws and rules. Compliance, surveillance or trading issues, common in the securities industry, and which are monitored or reported to the SEC or SROs, are reviewed in the ordinary course of business by our primary regulators, the SEC and the
NASD. The Company, as a major order flow execution destination, is named from time to time in, or is asked to respond to a number of regulatory matters brought by SROs that arise from its trading activity. The Company is currently the subject of
various regulatory reviews and investigations. In some instances, these matters may rise to an SEC or SRO disciplinary action and/or civil or administrative action.

For further information on Legal Proceedings, see the section entitled Legal Proceedings, in Part I, Item 3 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The following risk factor is added to supplement the factors discussed in Part I,
Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005:



| |  |  | The terms of our future relationship with the Deephaven managers are not certain.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Deephaven managers entered into employment agreements, which became effective on January 1, 2004. These agreements are due to expire on December 31, 2006. The employment agreements included an
option for renewal by the Deephaven managers through 2009 under the identical financial terms as their existing



40



---

##### Table of Contents

employment agreements (the Renewal Option); however, the deadline to exercise such Renewal Option has lapsed. We are currently in
negotiations with the Deephaven managers. There can be no assurance that we will be able to reach agreements with some or all of the Deephaven managers on their future relationships with Deephaven or, if we are able to reach such
agreements, that the terms will not be less favorable to us than the terms of our current arrangements with the Deephaven managers. If we lose the services of any of the Deephaven managers or if the terms of any new arrangements with
the Deephaven managers are less favorable to us in a material respect than the terms of the current arrangements, it would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk
Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only
risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
