In connection with comments received from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and upon a review and assessment by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, on February 28, 2007, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that certain of our previously issued financial statements should no longer be relied upon because of certain errors in our financial statements. As a result of this determination we intend to restate our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, 2003 and 2002 and for the quarters ended September 30, 2006, June 30, 2006 and March 31, 2006. All adjustments are non-cash in nature and primarily relate to the timing and method used to record certain amounts in our financial statements. The errors in the financial statements and periods affected include: o A reclassification of marketable securities received as compensation for investment banking services from "trading" to "available-for-sale", effective January 1, 2002, resulting in the reclassification of unrealized gains and losses from the determination of net income to other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders' equity; o Recording amortization expense associated with certain acquired customer relationships during the year ended December 31, 2005 and the two months ended December 31, 2004 and an adjustment to the amortization recorded in each quarter during the year ended December 31, 2006, resulting from corrections in the period in which amortization commenced and in the useful life assigned to the acquired customer relationships; o A change in the timing of beneficial conversion feature expense recognition between 2001 and 2004, related to a financing transaction completed in 2001. o The deferral of $200,000 received in connection with a new clearing agreement in 2004, when it was recognized as a reduction in clearing and transaction costs, and the recording of the amortization of this $200,000 as a reduction in clearing and transaction costs over a five-year period commencing in 2004. As a result of the foregoing, we intend to file our December 31, 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K with restated financial statements and revised disclosures for the fiscal periods covered by that report. Our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2007, June 30, 2007 and September 30, 2007 will include restated financial statements and revised disclosures for each corresponding period in 2006. The specific effect of these restatements on our consolidated financial statements for the periods indicated will be as follows for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, 2003 and 2002:

These adjustments will not affect the amounts of net cash provided by (used in) operating, investing or financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows in any of the periods indicated. The specific effect of these restatements on our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2006, June 30, 2006 and September 30, 2006 will be as follows: Net Effect of Restatements on Statements of Operations (In thousands, except per share amounts)
