Note 19 – Segment Operating Results

Business Segments – The Company's business results are categorized into the following two segments: Investment Banking and Investment Management. Investment Banking includes providing advice to clients on significant mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and other strategic corporate transactions. During 2010, the Investment Banking segment (formerly called the Advisory segment) expanded to include services related to securities underwriting, private fund placement services and commissions for agency-based equity trading services and equity research. Investment Management includes advising third-party investors in the Institutional Asset Management, Wealth Management and Private Equity sectors. During the second quarter of 2010, the Investment Management segment expanded to include the acquisitions of Atalanta Sosnoff and Morse Williams and Company, Inc. ("Morse Williams").

The Company's segment information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was prepared using the following methodology:

• Revenue, expenses and income (loss) from equity method investments directly associated with each segment are included in determining pre-tax income.

• Expenses not directly associated with specific segments are allocated based on the most relevant measures applicable, including headcount and other factors.

• Segment assets are based on those directly associated with each segment, or for certain assets shared across segments, those assets are allocated based on the most relevant measures applicable, including headcount and other factors.

• Investment gains and losses, interest income and interest expense are allocated between the segments based on the segment in which the underlying asset or liability is held.

Each segment's Operating Expenses include: a) employee compensation and benefits expenses that are incurred directly in support of the segment and b) non-compensation expenses, which include expenses for premises and occupancy, professional fees, travel and entertainment, communications and information services, equipment and indirect support costs (including compensation and other operating expenses related thereto) for administrative services. Such administrative services include, but are not limited to, accounting, tax, legal, facilities management and senior management activities. Other Expenses include amortization costs associated with the modification of unvested LP Units and certain other awards, charges associated with the vesting of Event-based Awards and amortization of intangibles associated with certain acquisitions.

The Company evaluates segment results based on net revenue and pre-tax income, both including and excluding the impact of the Other Expenses.

Two clients and one client accounted for more than 10% of the Company's consolidated Net Revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.
