INTERNATIONAL SECURITIES EXCHANGE HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

(Information as of June 30, 2007 and 2006 is unaudited and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 is audited)

1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The International Securities Exchange Holdings, Inc.
(ISE Holdings), is a Delaware corporation and the parent holding company of the following subsidiaries (collectively, the Company):



| |  |  | International Securities Exchange, LLC (ISE or exchange)a wholly-owned, fully-electronic exchange for equity and index options and
related services utilizing a market structure which combines the efficiencies of electronic trading with auction market principles. ISE was founded in September 1997. In February 2000, it received regulatory approval to become a national securities
exchange and in May 2000, formally commenced trading. ISE is regulated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Longitude LLC (Longitude)a wholly-owned subsidiary created in April 2006 to provide an alternative trading platform using patented Parimutuel
Derivative Call Auction technology.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | ISE Stock Exchange, LLC (ISE Stock Exchange)a majority-owned subsidiary created in April 2006 as an exchange facility of ISE for equity
securities. ISE Stock Exchange commenced trading operations in September 2006.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | ETC Acquisition Corp. (ETC)a wholly-owned subsidiary, which as of April 1, 2007 is used to lease CMM trading rights on the Companys
options exchange.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company operates two reportable segments - an options exchange and a stock exchange. The options exchange segment
is comprised of the operations from ISE, Longitude and ETC. The stock exchange segment is comprised of the operations from ISE Stock Exchange.

2. EUREX
MERGER

On April 30, 2007, the Company signed a definitive agreement with Eurex, a derivatives exchange jointly owned by Deutsche
Börse AG and SWX Swiss Exchange, under which Eurex will acquire the Company for approximately $2.8 billion in cash, or $67.50 per share. The transaction will be implemented by way of a merger and is subject to approval by the holders of a
simple majority (50 percent plus one share) of the Companys outstanding common stock at a special shareholder meeting, receipt of regulatory approval by the SEC and other customary closing conditions. The combination will create a
transatlantic derivatives marketplace with significant U.S. dollar and Euro product coverage and with significant operations and revenues in both the U.S. and Europe. The Company will continue to operate as a separate entity under SEC regulation as
a U.S. exchange in its current governance structure and under the ISE brand.

3. REORGANIZATION

In connection with its initial public offering, the Company initiated a plan to reorganize into a holding company structure. The Company completed its
reorganization on September 1, 2006. As part of the restructuring, the International Securities Exchange, Inc. (ISE Inc.) merged into ISE, then a newly formed entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of ISE Holdings. As a result of this
merger, the shares of common stock of ISE Inc. were converted into shares of common stock of ISE Holdings and shares of ISE Inc. Class B memberships were converted into trading and voting rights granted under ISE.

4. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

These financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC
and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ISE, ETC, ISE Stock Exchange and Longitude. All inter-company transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation. In accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46), ISE Stock Exchange is considered a variable interest entity (VIE) and
effective December 31, 2006, the Company consolidated its results as it was deemed the primary beneficiary. The Companys consolidation of ISE Stock Exchange will currently not have any effect on the Companys net results of
operations until ISE Stock Exchange generates net profits. Revenues and expenses of the Company will increase to reflect 100% of ISE Stock Exchanges results; however, it will not have any impact on net income as the Company is not required to
absorb any losses of the VIE. All revenues and expenses will be offset dollar-for-dollar by minority interest. Prior to our agreement with the strategic investors in April 2006, the Company recognized all the losses related to ISE Stock Exchange.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Companys consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP necessarily requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the balance
sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the period presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Transaction fees are earned based on contracts executed on the Companys exchange and are recorded as transactions occur on a trade date basis.
Transaction fees are recorded net of discounts of $10,179 and $8,555 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $19,574 and $18,097 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. The Company waives or discounts
certain trading fees.

Market data revenues are predominantly earned from the sale of the Companys buy and sell transaction
information and quotes through the Options Price Reporting Authority (OPRA). The Company earns a portion of OPRAs net income based on its pro-rata share of industry trade (not contract) volume. Revenue is recorded as transactions
occur on a trade date basis.

Member fees are comprised of revenues earned for connectivity and access to the Companys exchange;
revenue from the sale of CMM trading rights; fees for use of the Companys communication network, equipment and trading software; and regulatory and administrative fees. Other fees represent fees for services provided by Longitude.
Connectivity, access fees and communications, equipment and trading software fees and Longitude revenues are charged and recognized on a monthly basis based upon a specific fixed fee for each service. Revenue from the sale of CMM trading rights is
deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over 14 years. Administrative fees are charged and recognized as incurred. Regulatory fees are charged on an annual basis and recognized over a twelve-month period.

Deferred Revenue

The Company
has sold 50 CMM trading rights as of June 30, 2007. The CMM trading rights were each sold pursuant to a purchase agreement for $1.5 million each. Certain CMM trading rights were paid in full on the purchase date, while others are payable in
annual installments; however, the purchase agreement grants immediate CMM trading rights upon execution of the purchase agreement. The Company currently recognizes revenue from the sale over 14 years, the estimated useful life, on a straight-line
basis. The estimated useful life was determined based upon an analysis of certain factors driving the securities industry that could have an effect on the Companys operations in providing services to its exchange members. Such factors included
significant historical operating, regulatory and technology changes which have affected market participants and trading venues. Based upon the analysis, the Company estimated a life of 14 years; however, this period may be subject to change in the
future.

On a periodic basis, or if certain circumstances come to its attention, the Company reviews the original factors or assumptions
used in determining the estimated service period to ascertain the effect, if any, current events may have on those factors and assumptions. If the current facts warrant a change in the estimated service period, the Company will adjust the remaining
revenue to be recognized in accordance with the new estimated service life using the prospective method. The service period may increase or decrease from the current estimate of 14 years based upon the facts and circumstances.

Cash Equivalents

The Company
considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of less than 90 days from the statement of financial condition date to be classified as cash equivalents.

Securities Owned

The Company has, through a Rabbi Trust, investments in various mutual funds in connection with the Companys previous long-term deferred compensation
plan. Investments are carried at market value with realized and unrealized gains or losses reported in other revenue and a charge or credit in compensation and benefits expense to reflect the change in the fair value of the amounts owed to
employees. The Company has since replaced this plan with a stock-based plan (Note 9).

The Company also invests cash in excess of
short-term operating needs in U.S. treasury securities and municipal bonds with maturities ranging from three to 24 months which it classifies as available for sale. Unrealized gains and losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive income
on the statement of changes in stockholders equity until realized. On a periodic basis, the Company reviews its portfolio for impairment. If a decline in fair value is deemed to be other than temporary, the security is written down to its fair
value through earnings. Securities owned consist of the following:

Income Taxes

The Company files a consolidated tax return for federal, state and local income tax purposes. In addition, the Company records deferred tax assets and liabilities for differences between the financial statement and
income tax basis of assets and liabilities, using currently enacted tax rates. Deferred tax benefits and expenses are recognized for changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
 an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 requires that management determine whether a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related
appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Once it is determined that a
position meets this recognition threshold, the position is measured to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. The adoption of the provisions of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the companys
consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Payment for Order Flow

The Company imposes fees upon market makers to fund payments to order flow providers under a program administered by the Company. These fees are
distributed to certain order flow providers as an economic inducement to route their customer orders to the Companys exchange. The market makers have full discretion regarding the payment. Pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force Issue
No. 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent, the Company reflects the assessments and payments on a net basis, with no impact on revenues or expenses. When fees are assessed, the Company records an
asset (Accounts Receivable) with a corresponding liability (Payment for Order Flow Payable).

Payment for order flow cash is reflected in
cash and cash equivalents on the Companys Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. These funds are not legally restricted and can be used for general corporate purposes.

Stock-Based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2005, and in connection with its initial public offering, the Company began to account for stock-based employee compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, using the
modified prospective adoption method. Under this method of adoption, compensation expense is recognized over the relevant service period based on the fair value of stock options and restricted stock awards granted on or after January 1, 2005
and future years. In addition, compensation cost is recognized in 2005 for awards granted prior to the adoption date for which the requisite service period has not been rendered. No unearned compensation is included in stockholders equity for
such stock options and restricted stock awards granted. Rather, such stock options and restricted stock units are included in stockholders equity under SFAS No. 123(R) when services required from employees in exchange for the awards are
rendered and expensed.

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets consist of software licenses, computer hardware, furniture and fixtures, equipment and leasehold improvements. Capitalized fixed assets are depreciated utilizing the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives as follows:



|                                  |  |             
|--------------------------------- |  | ------------
|Trading related software licenses |  | 5 to 7 years
|Other software licenses           |  | 3 to 5 years
|Hardware and equipment            |  | 3 to 5 years
|Furniture and fixtures            |  | 7 years     

Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the lease term or
its estimated useful life.

Software Costs

Costs for internal software are assessed to determine whether they should be capitalized or expensed in accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 98-1,
Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use, and other related guidance. Software development costs incurred during the preliminary project stage are expensed as incurred, while costs incurred
during the application development stage are capitalized and amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the softwares estimated useful life, generally three to seven years, depending on the type of software. Amortization of
these capitalized costs begins only when the software becomes ready for its intended use. Capitalization of costs ceases when the post implementation/operation stage of the software development process is reached.

The Company capitalized $1,625 and $2,751 for software licenses and software developed for internal use during the six months ended June 30, 2007
and the year ended December 31, 2006, respectively.

Marketing and Promotional Fees

Advertising costs, including media advertising and production costs, are expensed when incurred.

Merger Related Costs

Merger
related costs consist primarily of advisory fees incurred in connection with our contemplated merger with Eurex.

Intellectual Property

All costs related to patents on internally developed intellectual property are expensed when incurred

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

On a periodic basis, the Company performs a review for the impairment of long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the assets are less
than their carrying amounts or when other events occur which may indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $949 related to
intellectual property acquired with Longitude. Based on the Companys decision to suspend the licensing of auction technology, the Company determined that the assets were completely impaired.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

SFAS No. 107, Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires the disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments, including assets and liabilities recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Financial
Condition. Management estimates that the aggregate net fair value of all financial instruments recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition approximates their carrying value, since the financial instruments are short term in
nature and bear interest at current market rates.

Related Party Transactions

As a regulated securities exchange, the Company regularly transacts business with broker-dealers involved in the business of trading securities and those
broker-dealers may be stockholders of the Company. Therefore, the Company engages in transactions with certain stockholders in the ordinary course of business. As a national securities exchange, the Company is required to provide equal
non-discriminatory access and fees to all its members. Therefore, the Company is prohibited by SEC regulation to charge fees that are not on or vary from its approved pricing schedule. In addition, FAS No. 57 Related Party
Disclosures requires disclosures of related party transaction with owners of more than 10 percent of the voting interests in the Company. The Company did not transact business with any stockholders that beneficially owned more than 10% of its
outstanding common stock as of June 30, 2007 and 2006.

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

From time to time,
the Company is involved in various routine reviews, regulatory audits and inspections by the SEC as well as legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While any litigation contains an element of uncertainty, it is the opinion of
management, after consultation with counsel, that the outcomes of any such proceedings or claims are unlikely to have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or operating results of the Company.

Contractual Obligations

The
Company has entered into obligations under operating leases with initial non-cancelable terms in excess of one year for office space and computer equipment. Expenses recorded under these agreements for three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006
were $2,192, and $1,745, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were $4,429, and $3,508, respectively. In addition, the Company has entered into contractual agreements with certain index providers for the rights to
list index products. The Company also has entered into contractual agreements for technology enhancements and support with OMX (US) Inc. and its affiliates (collectively OMX). Expenses related to OMX were $2,456 and $2,253 for the three
months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were $4,705, and $4,391, respectively. At June 30, 2007, future minimum payments for commitments are as follows:



|                                    |  |                  |       |     |   |       |  |       |     |  |   |

Letter of Credit

In the normal course of business, the Company collateralizes certain leases through standby letters of credit. As of June 30, 2007, the Company
provided letters of credit totaling $416 collateralized by certificates of deposit at a financial institution which are included in other assets.

Line of Credit

As of June 30, 2007, the Company had access to a $10,000 uncommitted credit line from a
commercial banking institution to be used to meet the Companys normal short-term capital needs. There were no borrowings outstanding under this credit line as of any of those dates.

Guarantees

The Company
applies the provisions of the FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, which provides accounting and disclosure
requirements for certain guarantees. The Companys trading rules, which its exchange members are bound by, limit the Companys liability for losses suffered while conducting business on the Companys exchange. The Companys
exchange trading rules do not extend to the customers of its exchange members. However, contractually the Company agrees to indemnify its exchange members for losses they suffer in very limited circumstances. The potential for the Company to be
required to make payments related to such contractual indemnifications is deemed remote

9. STOCK-BASED PLANS

Stock Options

The Company has two stock option plansthe 2002 Stock Option Plan (the
2002 Plan), which was adopted in 2002, and the Omnibus Stock Plan, which was adopted in 2005. Under the plans, options on the Companys common stock are issued for terms of 10 years and generally vest over three years. Options
issued in connection with the 2002 Plan were issued with an exercise price significantly less than the estimated fair market value of the Company on the date of grant. Options issued under the Omnibus Stock Plan were issued with an exercise price
equal to the estimated fair market value of the Company on the date of grant. Options expire on dates ranging from May 2012 to September 2016. A summary of the stock option activity as of June 30, 2007 is as follows:

10. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential reduction in earnings per
share that could occur if securities or contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. EPS under the basic and diluted computations are as follows:

13. BUSINESS SEGMENTS

Beginning in the first quarter of 2007, the Company began evaluating its financial performance based on two operating segments - an options exchange and a stock exchange. Prior the this period, the Company believed
the financial results of the stock exchange were immaterial to its results. In order to provide a meaningful comparison, the Company has presented historical financial information using the current methodology. The Company evaluates the performance
of its segments based on several factors, of which the primary financial measures are as follows:

OVERVIEW

We operate a family of innovative securities markets. We were founded on the principle that technology and
competition create better, more efficient markets for investors. We continually enhance our trading system and develop new products to provide investors with the best marketplace and investment tools to trade smarter.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2007 our management began evaluating the Companys financial performance based on two operating segments - an options exchange and
a stock exchange. In order to provide a meaningful comparison, we have presented historical financial information using the current methodology.



| |  | Our options exchange business segment - We operate the largest U.S. equity options exchange and are among the leading options exchanges in the world.
We developed a unique market structure for advanced screen- based trading systems and in May 2000 launched the first fully-electronic U.S. options exchange. Our exchange provides a trading platform in listed equity and index options and related
services that are designed to improve the market for options and the speed and quality of trade execution for our exchange members.
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also included in this segment is our alternative markets platform which consists of an events market trading platform known as Longitude. Longitudes patented and proprietary technology provides a unique
parimutuel structure for derivatives auctions which results in greater trading and pricing flexibility for market participants.

Lastly,
this segment includes corporate overhead costs related to public company matters as well as corporate wide strategic initiatives.



| |  | Our stock exchange business segment - In 2006, we expanded our business into the trading of cash equities with the launch of ISE Stock Exchange
in partnership with key strategic investors. The ISE Stock Exchange currently operates the only dual structure platform that integrates a non-displayed market, MidPoint Match (MPM), with a fully displayed stock market. Traders have
complete order protection and continuous price improvement.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pursuant to the terms of our agreement with the strategic
investors of the ISE Stock Exchange and in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we are the primary beneficiary of the ISE Stock Exchange and consolidate its financial results. We exercise a majority of the voting interest of the ISE Stock Exchange; however,
all losses are allocated solely to the minority owners. Consolidation of the ISE Stock Exchange does not currently have any effect on our net results of operations and will not until it generates net profits. Therefore, consolidation increases our
revenues and expenses to reflect 100% of the ISE Stock Exchanges results; however, these revenues and expenses are offset dollar-for-dollar by minority interest since we are not required to recognize any of its losses. Prior to our agreement
with the strategic investors in April 2006, we recognized all the losses related to ISE Stock Exchange.

Summary operating results for our two segments and
their effect on our consolidated results are as follows:

Eurex Merger

On April 30, 2007, we signed a definitive agreement with Eurex, a derivatives exchange jointly owned by Deutsche Börse AG and SWX Swiss Exchange, under which Eurex will acquire us for approximately $2.8
billion in cash, or $67.50 per share. The combination will create the leading transatlantic derivatives marketplace with significant U.S. dollar and Euro product coverage and with significant operations and revenues in both the U.S. and Europe. We
will continue to operate as a separate entity under SEC regulation as a U.S. exchange in our current governance structure and under the ISE brand. On July 27, 2007, our stockholders voted to approve our merger agreement with Eurex and this
affirmative stockholder vote satisfies a condition of the closing our merger; however, the transaction also requires SEC approval. We expect the transaction to close in the fourth quarter of 2007 and are currently planning the forthcoming
integration efforts. In connection with the merger, we incurred expenses of $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2007 related to various advisory costs and expect to incur additional costs until our transaction closes.

Business Environment

Our
business is affected by macroeconomic factors impacting the U.S. economy as well as factors specific to the securities industry, and in particular, the equities markets. The equities markets ended the first half of 2007 above the levels of prior
periods with all the major equities indices - the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500 Index and NASDAQ composite index - increasing approximately 8%, 6% and 8%, respectively, since the beginning of the year. Average daily volume of NYSE and
Nasdaq-listed securities increased approximately 24% in the first half of 2007 compared to the comparable period in the prior year.

The
options industry continues to operate in an increasingly competitive and challenging environment while at the same time experiencing continued robust growth and expansion. Industry average daily equity options volume increased 25% from
7.3 million contracts during the first half of 2006 to 9.2 million contracts during the first half of 2007, and industry average daily index option volume increased from 729,000 to 980,000 over the same period. Our average daily equity
options volume increased 18% from 2.4 million to 2.8 million over the same period; however, our market share decreased to 30.5% from 32.2%. Our average daily index volume was 47,000 during the second quarter of 2007 compared to 32,000
during the same period last year.

More recently, the equities and options markets have experienced significant volatility and significant
increased trading volumes as a result of economic news affecting the markets. The Options Clearing Corporation announced that a new daily cleared volume record was set on Friday, July 20, 2007 when 18.8 million contracts were cleared,
surpassing the previous record of 18.3 million contracts set on February 27, 2007. On July 26, 2007, the options industry broke this record and traded 21.3 million contracts. We traded a record 6.2 million contracts on that
same date surpassing the previous record of 5.5 million contracts on February 27, 2007.

Quoting in Penny Increments

On January 26, 2007, at the request of the SEC, all of the options exchanges initiated a pilot program to quote 13 options in pennies. The pilot
program is being conducted with trading increments of one-cent for options trading up to $3.00 and in five-cent increments for options trading above $3.00 for 12 of the pilot options. All options on one ETF, the QQQQ, are being quoted in one-cent
increments. The options industry participants and industry observers are keenly interested in the results of this pilot and in particular, the SECs actions after reviewing the analysis and data from the options exchanges.

We, along with the other options exchanges, submitted a report to the SEC describing our preliminary findings for the first three months on the penny
pilot program. In our report, we recommend that the SEC be very cautious in any expansion of penny quoting and urged them to study the effect of the pilot on market makers, institutions and overall liquidity implications before engaging in any
expansion of the pilot. In the event that the SEC did decide to expand the pilot after such a study, we propose that pennies be confined to relatively few symbols where there is: high liquidity in the underlying symbol; low underlying price; and
high retail-investor appeal. In our report, we noted the following:



| |  | Although market spreads have narrowed, the size at the National Best Bid Offer (NBBO) has declined significantly. While the remaining size may have produced
benefits for retail investors, it is not sufficient for institutional customers.
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | We are concerned about the effect of reduced size on institutional participants. Institutions have become significant participants in the options market in the last
few years due to the larger size that has become available in the options market. The dramatic reduction in size of almost 80% may force institutional investors to seek liquidity outside of the market, where there is no transparency and where they
are not limited to trading within the NBBO. Expanding the pilot could adversely affect market liquidity, jeopardizing the continued participation of institutions in exchange traded options.
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | We experienced a doubling, and in the case of the QQQQ a tripling, of quote traffic. This raises a caution flag regarding expansion of the pilot as we,
as well as our members, would need a reasonable lead time to build out and test all systems as well as incur additional costs for computer equipment necessary to handle this quotation load.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | We believe that the cost to the industry to process quoting in pennies at all price levels is not justified. To process quotes in pennies at all price levels will
require that we triple our quoting capacity. Such an increase will be extremely costly to us and our members and will take much longer to implement.
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | We expressed concerns regarding the effect of reduced spreads on our market makers. The options market is quotation-driven, and unlike the underlying equity market,
it is highly dependent on market makers supplying liquidity  through continuous quotations  in tens of thousands of series. If the reduction in spreads leads to contraction in the market making community similar to what occurred in the
equity market, we are concerned that there will be less liquidity available to market participants, driving interest in off-exchange, nontransparent trading.
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Recently, at the SEC staffs request, the pilot whose initial phase expired on July 26, 2007, has now been extended until September 27, 2007. The staff has further requested that the pilot be expanded
to cover 50 additional names in a two-phased approach. On September 28, 2007, the pilot will grow to cover classes representing the top 35% of industry trading volume. A preliminary list of these 22 additional classes is below.

The additional names will be quoted in pennies for options under $3.00 and nickels for options
above $3.00. QQQQ will continue to be quoted in pennies for all strikes. This phase will continue for six months.

On March 28, 2008,
the pilot would expand to include the balance of the additional 50 names not included on September 28, again trading in pennies only for options priced under $3.00. These top 50 names will be in addition to the 13 names already in the penny
pilot. Therefore, there will be a total of 63 names in the pilot as of March 28. The SEC staff anticipates that the pilot would remain at this level for at least one year, through March 2009.

Recent mergers and acquisitions activity of Nasdaq and OMX

On
May 25, 2007, Nasdaq and OMX announced they had entered into a definitive agreement to combine the two companies to create a global network of exchanges and exchange customers linked by technology. Our options trading system is an enhanced
version of OMXs standard trading software platform, modified to include functionality we designed to accommodate our unique market structure, the complexities of options trading strategies and U.S. securities regulations. In addition, Nasdaq
has announced plans to directly compete with us and introduce an options market in the third quarter of 2007. It has subsequently filed the proposed rules for its options market with the SEC. Nasdaqs announced merger with OMX may create a
complex relationship where we are dependent on a competitor to provide us with technology services for a large component of our Options Trading System (OTS) which drives our revenues.

While a merger with OMX would give Nasdaq access to OMXs electronic systems, a change in control would not cancel or modify any of the terms of our current Delivery and License Agreement (DLA) with OMX,
including the exclusivity provision, which governs OMXs ability to deliver another options trading system to a U.S.-based exchange. In addition, while the licensed OMX software serves as the foundation of our OTS, our options
platform is customized and unique to us as a result of detailed functional specifications and significant enhancements to the OMX technology, including a number of patented components that are integrated with the OMX technology to create our OTS.
Moreover, our agreement with OMX for Genium provides for the creation of an information barrier between OMXs technology team and their exchange business to protect proprietary information.

While we have the protections described above, we cannot be assured that we will be adequately protected through these safeguards, and we are currently examining various
courses of action.

Our Market Share and Dividend Trade Activity

Our average daily volume of equity options has grown significantly; however, we have experienced seasonal fluctuations on a quarterly basis. While our
trading volumes have generally been increasing, over the same period our market share has fluctuated. The following chart reflects our equity options ADV and market share since 2005 on a quarterly basis:



|                            |  |       |   |  |       |   |  |       |   |  |       |   |  |       |   |  |       |  
|--------------------------- |  | ----- | - |  | ----- | - |  | ----- | - |  | ----- | - |  | ----- | - |  | ----- | -
|                            |  | Q1-06 |   |  | Q2-06 |   |  | Q3-06 |   |  | Q4-06 |   |  | Q1-07 |   |  | Q2-07 |  
|Our Equity Options ADV      |  | 2,356 |   |  | 2,372 |   |  | 2,194 |   |  | 2,381 |   |  | 2,728 |   |  | 2,858 |  
|Equity Options Market Share |  | 32.7  | % |  | 31.8  | % |  | 32.2  | % |  | 30.1  | % |  | 30.2  | % |  | 30.7  | %

While we do monitor our market share, we do not believe it is the primary indicator of the health
of our business relative to absolute volume growth, which is what drives our revenues.

In particular, we believe our market share
statistics have been negatively impacted by the execution of large crossing transactions commonly referred to as dividend trades. The industry has experienced increased activity in this type of trading activity. Dividend trades are
options transactions in which very large quantities of in-the-money calls are purchased and exercised simultaneously in order to establish ownership in the stock just prior to the ex-dividend date. The exchanges that facilitate these
transactions have instituted fee caps which encourage market makers to enter extremely large size orders and engage in this activity. We believe that these transactions serve to distort volume and market share statistics for the industry as well as
disadvantage certain customers and therefore, do not encourage or engage in this activity.

Index Court Action

On November 2, 2006, we filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York seeking to end the exclusive listing of
certain index options (the ISE NY Action). We asked the District Court to issue a declaratory judgment ordering that we do not need a license to list index options on the DJIA and S&P 500 Index. Currently, these two actively-traded
index options trade exclusively on CBOE pursuant to licensing agreements between CBOE, Dow Jones, and McGraw-Hill. On November 15, 2006, Dow Jones, McGraw-Hill, and CBOE filed a complaint against us and OCC in the Circuit Court of Cook County,
Illinois, asking the Circuit Court to issue a declaratory judgment ordering, among other things, that we may not list index options on the DJIA and S&P 500 Index without a license from Dow Jones and McGraw-Hill (the Defendants
Action). On December 22, 2006, Dow Jones and McGraw-Hill filed a motion to dismiss or stay the ISE NY Action pending a decision in the Defendants Action. On March 8, 2007, we filed a motion to dismiss or stay the
Defendants Action pending a decision in the ISE NY Action. Most recently, on May 15, 2007, our motion to dismiss or stay the Defendants Action was denied. On June 4, 2007, we filed a motion with the Illinois Appellate Court
seeking to stay the Illinois Circuit Court proceedings pending a decision on ISEs appeal. This motion was denied on June 18, 2007. On July 25, 2007, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York stayed the ISE NY
Action pending determination of the Defendants Action in the Illinois Circuit Court.

Alternative Markets Platform - Longitude

As of June 29, 2007, we suspended the economic derivative auctions for our Alternative Markets business which used intellectual property and proprietary and patented technology we acquired in March 2006. As a
result, we determined that the carrying value of these intangible assets were completely impaired and accordingly, accelerated the remaining useful life of these assets. We incurred a charge of $0.9 million related to this acceleration. We are
currently examining various strategies to re-launch the Longitude trading platform including creating a new clearing structure and identifying new and innovative products, including licensed products, to meet customers trading needs.

BUSINESS TRENDS AND DRIVERS

Options Exchange Segment

The financial results from our options exchange segment account for the vast majority of our revenues and expenses. The following discusses the options
exchange segments business trends and drivers.

Revenues

Transaction Fees

Transaction fees
have accounted for, and continue to account for, a majority of our revenues and are primarily driven by trading volumes, pricing changes and the proportion of non-broker-dealer customer volume in the trading mix. We have three general fee categories
on our options exchangemarket maker, firm proprietary and non-broker-dealer customers.

As a result of competitive pressures, we
generally do not charge our options exchange members for executing non-broker-dealer customer orders on our exchange with the exception of premium products and our Second Market. Generally, an increase in our non-broker-dealer customer orders
reduces our average revenue per side. As a percent of our total sides, non-broker-dealer customer sides have been increasing, reaching a high of 43.1% during the first quarter of 2006. However, it has decreased to 41.7% during the second quarter of
2007. We have also experienced an increase in firm proprietary trading as a percent of our overall trading mix from 10.9% in the first quarter of 2006 to 14.6% in the second quarter of 2007. We believe this increase is an indicator of increased
institutional use of our trading platform. Also included in transaction fees are fees we charge exchange members for canceling orders.

Also included in transaction fees are activity remittance fees we pay to the SEC as well as license fees we pay for our exchange members to trade licensed products. GAAP requires us to record these fees on a gross basis.

We continually examine our fee structure in light of competitive changes in the marketplace. Most recently, we increased our fees for non-ISE market
makers trading on our exchange from $0.19 per contract to $0.40 per contract effective June 2007. This change resulted in significant additional revenue, although we expect this trend to moderate as our members adjust their trading patterns.
Additionally, as a result of reaching certain overall volume levels on our exchange, our market maker fee will decrease in August 2007 from $0.17 per contract to $0.16 per contract. Our transaction fee for market makers will change when our monthly
ADV reaches the following thresholds:



|                           |  |                 |

|Greater than 9,400         |  | $               | 0.15

Member Fees and Other

Member fees and other are primarily driven by (a) the number of participants that become members of our exchange; (b) capacity requirements that
are dictated by the number of quotes or orders submitted to our trading system as well as the communication method chosen by the member; and (c) revenue from the sale of CMM trading rights. In 2002, we created 60 CMM trading rights to sell for
$1.5 million each. Each CMM trading right grants the holder the right to trade as a CMM on our options exchange. We currently recognize revenue from the sale of these CMM trading rights over an estimated useful life of 14 years on a straight line
basis. As of June 30, 2007, we have 10 remaining CMM trading rights to sell. We seek appropriate buyers for these CMM trading rights based on their ability to provide significant liquidity to our markets. The proceeds we receive from the sales,
less taxes and bonuses we pay on those sales, have been distributed to our stockholders. Unsold CMM trading rights do not generate revenue for us. Accordingly, based on requests by potential exchange members, we decided in 2006 to offer to lease the
unsold CMM trading rights for one year periods, for $150,000 per year. We anticipate leasing or selling all of the remaining unsold CMM trading rights and may effect such sales at anytime. However, we have no present agreements with any entity to
purchase or lease the remaining CMM trading rights and we cannot assure such sale or lease will take place. As of June 30, 2007, we sold 50 CMM trading rights. Other fees represent revenues from our subsidiary, Longitude, which we do not expect
to be material to our 2007 results due the suspension of its auctions as discussed above.

Market Data Fees

Market data revenues are primarily driven by the proportional number of trades executed on our exchange as well as the OPRA profits. We expect our market data revenues to continue to fluctuate based upon our market
share of trades and OPRAs profitability. Our market share of trades is partly driven by our trade size or our average contracts per trade. We have generally been experiencing an increasing number of contracts per trade. We believe the
increase in number of contracts per trade is an indicator of increased trading by institutional investors, who generally trade in larger size than retail investors. To the extent we are successful in our efforts to increase trading by institutional
investors, we may experience a decrease in our market data revenues; however, this decrease would be more than offset by increased transaction fee revenues due to the increased trading. Also, to the extent the SEC expands the number of options
included in the penny pilot, we would expect OPRA to have increased costs for upgrading the capacity of its systems which may reduce our market data revenues. Additionally, beginning in the second quarter of 2006, we began to record revenues from
our own options market data offering. We do not expect the revenues generated from this offering to be material to our 2007 results.

Cost of Revenues

We record direct costs associated with our revenues as Cost of revenues on our consolidated
statement of income. These costs are comprised of:



| |  |  | Activity remittance fees we pay to the SEC pursuant to Section 31 of the Exchange Act. These fees are designed to recover costs to the government for the
supervision and regulation of securities markets and securities professionals. This expense is wholly offset by activity assessment fees we charge our exchange members which is included in transaction fees.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | License fees we pay for our exchange members to trade licensed products, primarily options on certain ETFs and indexes. This expense is offset by surcharges we
charge our exchange members for trading these products which is included in transaction fees. We expect these fees to decrease as we no longer pay such fees on certain ETFs, including in October 2006 license fees on the QQQQs and beginning
January 2007 Russell ETFs including IWM.

Expenses

Compensation and Benefits

Employee
compensation and benefits expense is primarily driven by changes in our headcount and levels of incentive compensation. We may continue to increase our headcount to support our business initiatives which will lead to higher compensation and benefits
expense. We also may experience fluctuations in our incentive compensation as a portion of that expense is based on our profitability. We may also incur costs for a success bonus, in the form of cash and/or stock, payable to our executive officers
and certain directors if and when we sell our remaining 10 CMM trading rights. Pursuant to change in control provisions contained within our Omnibus Stock Plan, all of our unvested stock grants become immediately vested as a result of our
stockholders affirmative vote of our merger with Eurex, unless an employee waived such right until the earlier of closing of the merger or December 31, 2007. Accordingly, we will accelerate any remaining stock based compensation charges.

Technology and Communications

Technology and communication expense is primarily driven by costs associated with our trading system and generally fluctuates based upon long-term trends in our business activity. Certain elements of this expense, which we incur in
anticipation of certain transaction volume levels, have both a fixed and variable nature. Once we incur these expenses initially, we may not incur them going forward on a recurring, annual basis. As a result of the importance of our systems to the
viability of our business, we continue to invest heavily in areas such as system capacity and reliability, increased functionality and performance and security and expect the costs to increase in 2007. We also must modify our systems from time to
time to comply with various regulatory requirements and competitive responses. The expenses we incur for these modifications may vary substantially from period to period. We anticipate technology and communication expense to fluctuate with increases
in volumes and trading system enhancements as well as technology changes in the industry. In addition, we will incur additional costs to upgrade our systems as a result of the penny quoting pilot.

Occupancy

Occupancy expense is
primarily driven by our facility needs due to headcount or system needs as well as back-up facilities. We anticipate higher occupancy costs in the future to support our growth, computer operations and disaster recovery needs.

Professional Fees

Professional fees
are generally discretionary in nature, however there are non-discretionary components, such as accounting, audit and regulatory fees. As a SRO, we are required to regulate our exchange members and as such, we employ the services of the NASD to
perform certain of these functions on our behalf. Certain expenses, such as those related to new business initiatives or litigation may fluctuate from year to year.

Marketing and Business Development

Marketing and business development expense is generally
discretionary in nature and is primarily driven by our public relations and product promotion campaigns.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense is primarily driven by purchases of software licenses, leasehold improvements and intangible
assets we purchase and capitalize. We expect to incur additional software amortization expense related to enhancements to our trading system in order to remain competitive. In addition, our leasehold improvements amortization may increase as we
review our office space requirements, computer operations and disaster recovery needs.

Other Expenses

Other expenses include Board of Director expenses, travel and entertainment related costs, general office expenses and liability insurance premiums. We expect other expenses to increase to support our overall growth.

Merger Related Costs

Merger related costs consist primarily of advisory fees incurred in connection with our contemplated merger with Eurex. We expect to incur additional costs until our transaction closes.

Interest and Investment Income

Interest and investment income is primarily driven by our available cash balances.

Provision for Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes is based on the application of prevailing federal, state and local tax rates. The difference between our effective tax rate
and the statutory tax rate may vary from period to period, but primarily results from state and local taxes and the effect of certain non-deductible expenses. We expect our effective tax rate to range from approximately 43% to 44% in 2007 before the
impact on non-deductible merger related costs.

Stock Exchange Segment

Our stock exchange segment is still in the early stages of its operations. The revenues in this segment will not be material until such time as we can attract significant amounts of trading volume. There are many ways
to attract trading volume, including pricing, system performance and functionality. Our profitability will be affected by how we position this business to be competitive in these areas. Recently, we have seen an increase in volume resulting from new
trading members, new functionality, as well as an increase in industry volumes.

Seasonality

In the securities trading industry, quarterly revenue fluctuations are common and are due primarily to variations in trading volumes. We believe we
experience increased levels of trading activity in the first and fourth quarters, and decreased levels of trading activity in the second and third quarters. As a result of this and other factors described elsewhere herein, period-to-period
comparisons of our revenues and operating results are not necessarily meaningful, and the results of any quarter are not necessarily indicative of results of any future period.

Fixed and Variable Expenses

Our expense structure is predominantly fixed. However, there are some
variable components that fluctuate with volumes. We may incur certain costs in anticipation of certain transaction volume levels and make significant expenditures related to technological innovations over long periods of time, so that our operating
margins and profitability could be adversely affected. In addition, a component of our incentive compensation is dependent upon our operating results. If demand for our services should decline suddenly and we are unable to adjust our fixed cost base
on a timely basis, it could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In an effort to provide additional information regarding our results as determined by GAAP, we also disclose certain non-GAAP
information which we believe provides useful and meaningful information. Our management reviews this non-GAAP financial measurement when evaluating our financial performance and results of operations; therefore, we believe it is useful to provide
information with respect to these non-GAAP measurements so as to share this perspective of management. Non-GAAP measurements do not have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other
companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in the context with our GAAP results.

We have disclosed non-GAAP
financial measures using our net transaction fees which we define as our transaction fees less activity remittance fees and ETF and index license fees. Under GAAP, activity remittance fees and ETF and index license fees are required to be recorded
on a gross basis. Since activity remittance fee and ETF and index license fees are wholly offset by corresponding amounts in transaction fees, management believes presenting net transaction fees provides a clearer measure of our transaction related
performance.

The following table reflects the calculation of our net transaction fees for our options exchange:

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our accounting policy related to our revenue recognition from the sale of CMM trading rights on our options exchange is our most critical accounting policy that requires management to make estimates and judgments that
could affect our results.

As of June 30, 2007, we have sold 50 trading rights. The trading rights were each sold pursuant to a
purchase agreement for $1.5 million each. Certain trading rights were paid in full on the purchase date, while others are payable in annual installments; however, the purchase agreement grants immediate membership upon execution of the purchase
agreement.

The trading rights are transferable and have no contractual term. We have an implied performance obligation to maintain our
marketplace over the life of the membership, and therefore recognize the revenue from the sale of the trading rights over the estimated life of the trading right, as the implied performance obligation is fulfilled. We have estimated the life of the
trading right at 14 years, and recognize revenue over this period on a straight-line basis.

In order to determine the estimated service
life of the trading right, we identified three broad factors affecting the securities industry that have a significant impact on our operations, and therefore, the estimated service life of the trading rights  the securities industrys
challenging operating environment, regulatory changes and technology innovations. We identified specific historical events in the options industry and the broader securities industry for each of these factors, assigned an appropriate time horizon
for each event, and calculated an average time horizon for each factor. Based on this analysis, we used the average across all factors, 14 years, as an estimate for the service life of the trading rights.

The occurrence of each historical event considered in the analysis has necessitated significant changes in the business models of the securities
exchanges and market participants. Each of the factors identified have had a significant impact on the options industry or broader securities industry, and will have a significant impact on our trading rights.

On a periodic basis, or if certain circumstances come to our attention, we review the original factors or assumptions used in determining the estimated
service period to ascertain the effect, if any, current events may have on those factors and assumptions. If the current facts warrant a change in the estimated service period, we will adjust the remaining revenue to be recognized in accordance with
the new estimated service life using the prospective method. The service period may increase or decrease from our current estimate of 14 years based upon the facts and circumstances, and therefore, these revenues may fluctuate in the future.

We recognized revenue of $1.3 million and $1.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively and $2.6
million and $2.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, from the sale of CMM trading rights.

KEY STATISTICAL INFORMATION

In evaluating the performance of our options exchange business, management closely monitors these key statistics for ISE:

Transaction Fees

Transaction fee revenues increased 14.1% to $46.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $40.7 million during the comparable period in 2006, primarily due to increased trading volumes on our
options exchange. This volume growth was due to several factors, including the following:



| |  |  | Industry ADV for equity options during the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased 24.8% from the comparable period in 2006.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our ADV increased 20.5% over the same period; however our market share decreased to 30.7% from 31.8%.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our ADV in index options was 49,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 36,000 during the comparable period in 2006.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our average transaction fee per side decreased to $0.127 during the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $0.134
during the comparable period in 2006. Over the same period our average net transaction fee per side, a measure we use to evaluate our revenues which excludes activity remittance fees and ETF and license fees, increased to $0.119 from $0.114. An
increase in our fees to non-ISE market makers beginning June 2007 drove this change. Additionally, we recorded higher cancellation fee revenues due to increases in the amount we charge for this activity. Partly offsetting these increases was an
increase in customer mix for which we waive transaction fees.

Member Fees and Other

Member fees and other increased 12.4% to $7.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $6.3 million during the comparable period in
2006. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in connectivity fees due to a pricing change. In April 2006, we changed our exchange member connectivity fees to be based on an exchange members quote capacity usage versus login activity.

Market Data

Market data
revenues increased 8.1% to $4.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $4.1 million in 2006 primarily due to our higher market share of trades. We accounted for 31.9% of total industry trades during the three months ended
June 30, 2007 and 30.6% during the comparable period in 2006.

Compensation and Benefits

Compensation and benefits expense increased 20.5% to $13.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $11.4 million during the
comparable period in 2006. The increase was primarily due to higher stock-based compensation and increased headcount. We distribute a portion of our adjusted pre-tax earnings as incentive compensation to our employees in the form of restricted stock
and cash. Higher profitability levels in 2006 led to the higher current stock-based compensation. Our full-time equivalent employees, which exclude those charged to ISE Stock, increased to 187 from 180 during this time period.

Technology and Communication

Technology and
communication expense increased 16.1% to $4.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $3.7 million during the comparable period in 2006 primarily due to an increase in spending on equipment and software in order to handle the
increased quoting on our trading system. In addition, costs related to OMX increased $0.1 million for enhancements to our options trading system.

Professional Fees

Professional fees increased 30.4% to $1.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2007
from $1.4 million during the comparable period in 2006 primarily due to higher legal expenses related to our litigation concerning the exclusive listing of index options.

Marketing and Business Development

Marketing and business development expenses decreased
23.9% to $0.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $0.8 million during the comparable period in 2006, due to lower levels of spending on marketing and advertising material primarily due to timing of marketing programs.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased 46.5% to $2.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $1.8 million during the comparable period in 2006 primarily due to an impairment charge of $0.9 million relating to
Longitude intellectual property.

Other Expenses

Other expenses increased 21.5% to $1.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $1.5 million during the comparable period in 2006. The increase was attributable to settlement of a state tax audit,
as well as an increase in other general expenses to support our overall growth.

Merger related Costs

We incurred $2.1 million of merger related costs during the three months ended June 30, 2007. These fees consist primarily of advisory fees incurred
in connection with our contemplated merger with Eurex.

Interest and Investment Income

Interest and investment income increased to $3.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $1.5 million during the comparable period
in 2006 as a result of higher average cash balances.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our tax provision increased to $13.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $10.8 million during the comparable period in 2006.
Over the same period our effective tax rate increased to 46.5% from 44.1%, primarily as a result on non-deductible merger related costs.

Stock Exchange Segment

Our stock exchange segment is still in its early stages of operations. This segment recorded gross margin of $0.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2007 resulting from transaction fees and market data.
We use a maker-taker pricing method for our displayed market and waived fees for our MPM platform through May 1, 2007. Total expenses increased to $4.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $1.5 million during the
comparable period in 2006 primarily due to higher compensation and benefits expense reflecting higher staffing levels required to launch and operate the stock exchange. As discussed above, see Overview  Our stock exchange business
segment, we do not recognize any losses from ISE Stock Exchange on a consolidated basis beginning April 2006.

Transaction Fees

Transaction fee revenues increased 16.5% to $90.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $77.5 million during the comparable period in 2006, primarily due to increased trading volumes on our
options exchange. This volume growth was due to several factors, including the following:



| |  |  | Industry ADV for equity options during the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased 25.1% from the comparable period in 2006.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our ADV increased 18.2% over the same period; however our market share decreased to 30.5% from 32.2%.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our ADV in index options was 47,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 32,000 during the comparable period in 2006.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our average transaction fee per side decreased to $0.128 during the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $0.129
during the comparable period in 2006. Over the same period our average net transaction fee per side, a measure we use to evaluate our revenues which excludes activity remittance fees and ETF and license fees, increased to $0.116 from $0.109. An
increase in our fees to non-ISE market makers beginning June 2007 drove this change. Additionally, we recorded higher cancellation fee revenues due to increases in the amount we charge for this activity.

Member Fees and Other

Member fees and other
increased 20.7% to $14.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $12.0 million during the comparable period in 2006. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in connectivity fees due to a pricing change. In April 2006, we
changed our exchange member connectivity fees to be based on an exchange members quote capacity usage versus login activity.

Market Data

Market data revenues increases 0.2% to $9.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $9.2 million in 2006 as an
increase in OPRA profitability was partly offset by our lower market share of trades. We accounted for 31.8% of total industry trades during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 32.2% during the comparable period in 2006.

Compensation and Benefits

Compensation and benefits expense increased 18.8% to $26.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $22.3 million during the comparable
period in 2006. The increase was primarily due to higher stock-based compensation. We distribute a portion of our adjusted pre-tax earnings as incentive compensation to our employees in the form of restricted stock and cash. Higher profitability
levels in 2006 led to the higher current stock-based compensation.

Technology and Communication

Technology and communication expense increased 19.6% to $8.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $7.2 million during the
comparable period in 2006 primarily due to an increase in spending on equipment and software in order to handle the increased quoting on our trading system. In addition, costs related to OMX increased $0.2 million for enhancements to our options
trading system.

Professional Fees

Professional fees increased 31.6% to $3.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $2.7 million during the comparable period in 2006 primarily due to higher legal expenses related to our litigation concerning the
exclusive listing of index options. Partly offsetting this increase, was consulting fees incurred in the year ago period related to us preparing for compliance with the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002.

Marketing and Business Development

Marketing
and business development expenses decreased 19.5% to $1.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $1.4 million during the comparable period in 2006 due to lower levels of spending on branding campaigns primarily due to timing of
marketing programs.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased 32.1% to $4.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $3.3 million during the comparable period in 2006 due to primarily due to an impairment charge
of $0.9 million relating to Longitude intellectual property.

Other Expenses

Other expenses increased 25.1% to $3.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $2.6 million during the comparable period in 2006. The
increase was attributable to settlement of a state tax audit, as well as an increase in other general expenses to support our overall growth.

Merger
related fees

We incurred $2.1 million of merger related costs during the six months ended June 30, 2007. These fees consist
primarily of advisory fees incurred in connection with our contemplated merger with Eurex

Interest and Investment Income

Interest and investment income increased to $5.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $3.1 million during the comparable period in
2006 as a result of higher average cash balances.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our tax provision increased to $26.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $20.6 million during the comparable period in 2006. Over
the same period our effective tax rate increases to 45.0% from 44.1%, primarily as a result on non-deductible merger related costs.

Stock Exchange
Segment

Our stock exchange segment is still in its early stages of launch. This segment recorded gross margin of $1.3 million in
the six months ended June 30, 2007 primarily as a result of the launch of our displayed market in December 2006. We use a maker-taker pricing method for our displayed market and have waived fees for our MPM platform through May 1, 2007.
Total expenses increased to $7.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $2.4 million during the comparable period in 2006 primarily due to higher compensation and benefits expense reflecting higher staffing levels required to
launch and operate the stock exchange. As discussed above, see Overview  Our stock exchange business segment, we do not recognize any losses from ISE Stock Exchange on a consolidated basis beginning April 2006.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We presently finance our options exchange business primarily through cash generated by our operating activities. We believe that cash flows generated by our operating activities should be sufficient for us to fund our
current operations. In addition, we have access to an uncommitted $10.0 million credit facility and may have the ability to raise capital through issuance of debt or equity to new or existing investors through private and public capital markets
transactions, if necessary. We finance our stock exchange business through the cash initially raised from its strategic investors.

The
following table sets forth our consolidated net cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities for the periods indicated:

Our cash and cash equivalents are primarily comprised of investments in money market accounts and
highly liquid investments with maturities of less than 90 days. Assets readily convertible into cash consists of amounts due from our members for transactions executed on our options and stock exchange, which are principally reflected in our current
accounts receivable, less cash we hold in connection with our payment for order flow program which is discussed below. We charge members for their transactions on a monthly basis and collect these fees within five business days after the end of each
month pursuant to a standing agreement with OCC for options transactions and DTCC for stock transactions, where we have the ability to withdraw our non-contested fees from members security clearing accounts. Also included in amounts readily
convertible into cash are investments of our excess cash in U.S. Treasuries and municipal bonds, which are included in securities owned. Cash and cash equivalents, together with assets readily convertible into cash, accounted for 77.7% in the six
months ended June 30, 2007, and 72.5% in the same period prior year

Cash and cash equivalents increased to $230.5 million as of
June 30, 2007 from $200.0 million as of December 31, 2006:



| |  |  | Our net cash provided by operating activities was $20.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007 primarily due to increased trading volumes on our
options exchange partly offset by a decrease in our compensation and benefits payable related to cash payment we made to our employees as part of 2006 year end compensation.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our net cash provided in investing activities was $12.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007. We had $28.9 million in maturities of available for
sale securities, primarily municipal debt instruments, partly offset by $10.7 million in purchases. We purchased fixed assets of $5.3 million primarily for leasehold improvements relating to expansion of our data center in order to support our
overall growth as well as software for our options exchange.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our net cash used by financing activities was $3.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007. We repurchased $4.2 million of our common stock tendered
by our employees to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of awards of restricted stock. We repurchased these shares based on their fair market value on the vesting date. We paid dividends of $3.9 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2007. Partly offsetting these decreases was a tax benefit of $4.1 million related to options exercised by our employees. Our taxes are reduced by the after tax effect of the difference between the fair market value and
strike price of the options our employees exercised.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 included in
cash and cash equivalents is $0.6 million and $0.6 million, respectively, for our payment for order flow program. Under this program we pay our EAMs on behalf of our market makers for order flow sent to the exchange. We assess fees to our
market makers, PMMs and CMMs, and distribute those funds to our EAMs. Each PMM has full discretion regarding the payment, and we administer the payments. Accordingly, we reflect the assessments and payments on a net basis with no impact on revenues
or expenses. When fees are assessed, we record an asset with a corresponding liability.

As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, included in
cash and cash equivalents is $32.5 and $37.8 million held for the exclusive use of ISE Stock Exchange.

As of June 30, 2007 and
December 31, 2006, we had a letter of credit agreement totaling $0.4 million to satisfy lease commitments and administrative obligations.

Financial Condition

Our total assets increased to $421.9 million as of June 30, 2007
from $396.4 million as of December 31, 2006. This increase was primarily due to operating cash proceeds resulting from higher transaction volumes as well as higher income tax receivables as a result of exercise of stock options.

##### Table of Contents

Our total liabilities decreased to $98.3 million as of June 30, 2007 from $101.8 million as of
December 31, 2006. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in our compensation and benefits payable due to the payment of incentive compensation awards for 2006 performance and exercises of vested balances in our employee profit-sharing
plan in the six months ended June 30, 2007.

We recorded $30.6 million of minority interest representing minority stockholders
interest in ISE Stock Exchange as of June 30, 2007.

Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes our future cash payments associated with contractual obligations as of June 30, 2007, which are primarily operating

Our operating lease commitments primarily relate to obligations under operating leases with
initial non-cancelable terms in excess of one year for office space and computer equipment. OMX purchase obligations relate to contractual agreements for trading software licenses, technology enhancements and support of our core trading system from
OMX. Other purchase obligations relate to minimum license fees for certain index options.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk to us generally represents
the risk of changes in the value of financial instruments that might result from fluctuations in interest rates and equity prices. We have internal processes governing our management of market risks in the normal course of our business operations.
Furthermore, we have not entered into any derivative contracts to mitigate such risks, though we may in the future.

Interest
Rate Risk

In order to maximize yields, we invest portions of our excess cash in short-term interest earning assets, primarily money
market instruments at commercial banks and U.S. treasuries and municipal bonds with maturities of less than two years, which totaled $300.4 million as of June 30, 2007 and $288.5 million as of December 31, 2006. We do not
anticipate that changes in interest rates will have a material impact on our financial condition, operating results or cash flows.

Equity Price Risk

We do not trade securities for our own account nor do we maintain
inventories of securities for sale. However, we do have investments in various mutual funds that we hold on behalf of our employees as part of our previous long-term performance-based profit-sharing plan. Under the plan, fund awards were granted to
our employees, which they in turn invest in various mutual fund investments. Employees vest in the distributions over a period of three years. The participating employees bear the risk of the vested portion of the investments, and we bear the risk
of the unvested portion. In addition, we have purchased U.S. treasuries and municipal bonds with our available excess cash in order to increase our return. As a result, we are exposed to market price risk. This risk is estimated as the potential
loss in fair value resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in quoted market prices and amounted to approximately $0.1 million and $0.3 million as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Companys
management evaluated, with the participation of the Companys Chief Executive Officer and President and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule
15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the
SECs rules and forms, and is effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated by the Companys management,
including the Companys Chief Executive Officer and President and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and President and Chief Financial
Officer have concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the period covered by this report. 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) or Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the last period 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

We are subject to routine reviews and inspections by the SEC as well as legal
proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently a party to any litigation or other legal proceedings that we believe are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial conditions
or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our business faces significant risks. The risks described below update the risk
factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006 and our Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2007 and should be read in conjunction with those risk factors. The risk factors
described in this Form 10-Q, our Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2007, and our 2006 Form 10-K may not be the only risks we face. Additional risks that we do not yet know of or that we currently think are immaterial may also
impair our business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects could be affected materially.

We may face additional competition from new entrants that could negatively impact our contract trading volume and profitability.

We may also be adversely affected by competition from new entrants into our markets. Competition within the options trading industry could increase if new options
exchanges are established or if existing securities exchanges that do not currently trade options determine to do so. On March 7, 2006, NYSE entered our markets through its merger with Archipelago. In April 2006, Nasdaq entered the options
market with its announcement that it would provide connectivity and order routing to options exchanges. On September 7, 2006, Nasdaq announced plans to introduce an equity and index options market in the third quarter of 2007, offering
price/time priority. Furthermore, on May 25, 2007, Nasdaq and OMX announced they had entered into a definitive agreement to combine the two companies to create a global network of exchanges and exchange customers linked by technology. The
appearance of new competitors may reduce margins for all existing options exchanges, including us, and increase the importance of scale efficiencies.

Our
ability to continually maintain and enhance our competitiveness and respond to threats from existing or new competitors will have a direct impact on our results of operations. There is no assurance that we will be able to continue to compete
effectively. If our products, markets and services are not competitive, our business, financial condition and operating results will be materially harmed. If the trading volume of new entrants increases to our detriment, it could have a negative
impact on our business, financial condition and operating results. In addition, even if new entrants do not significantly erode our contract trading volume, we may be required to reduce our fees significantly to remain competitive, which could have
a material adverse effect on our profitability. See BusinessIndustry

Nasdaqs pending merger with OMX would create a
relationship where we are dependent on a competitor to provide us with key technology services for a large component of our Options Trading System (OTS) which drives our revenues.

Our OTS is an enhanced version of OMXs standard trading software platform, modified to include functionality we designed to accommodate our unique market structure,
the complexities of options trading strategies and U.S. securities regulations. The consummation of Nasdaqs merger with OMX would create a complex relationship where we would be dependent on a competitor to provide us with key technology
services. While a merger with OMX would give Nasdaq access to OMXs electronic systems, a change in control would not cancel or modify any of the terms of our current Delivery and License Agreement (DLA) with OMX, including the
exclusivity provision, which governs OMXs ability to deliver another options trading system to a U.S.-based exchange. In addition, while the licensed OMX software serves as the foundation of our OTS, our options platform is
customized and unique to us as a result of detailed functional specifications and significant enhancements to the OMX technology, including a number of patented components that are integrated with the OMX technology to create our OTS. Moreover, our
agreement with OMX for Genium provides for the creation of an information barrier between OMXs technology team and their exchange business to protect proprietary information. While we have the protections described above, we cannot assure you
that we will be adequately protected through these safeguards and are currently examining various courses of action and alternatives. If we are unable to find an acceptable course of action or alternative, our business, financial condition and
operating results could be materially adversely affected.
