Selling, General and Administrative

SG&A expenses in the investment management segment increased by $6.4 million in the first nine months of 2004 compared with the same period of 2003. Of this amount, approximately $3.0 million relates to the acquired investment management operations of Cartier. SG&A expenses in the brokerage division have increased by $41.3 million and include approximately $31 million of costs inherited from Cartier operations. In addition, we estimate that we incurred additional costs of approximately $8 million that relate specifically to the integration process. We are expecting costs to remain at these higher levels in the upcoming quarters of 2004 and 2005 as we complete the integration of the operations of Cartier into Dundee.

Variable Compensation

Variable compensation costs totalled $174.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2004, higher by $116.5 million than the same period in 2003. This increase results from an increase in total financial service revenues.

 with increased additions of AUM, the Company paid sales commissions of $43.1 million in the first nine months of 2004 (2003 - $26.0 million). These commissions are deferred and amortized to expense over a five-year period. Year-to-date amortization of deferred sales commissions was $26.4 million compared with $31.7 million in the same period of 2003. Amortization expense declined by $5.3 million as deferred commissions included in a business acquisition completed in 2002 were fully amortized by early 2004.

The Company's net book value of deferred sales commissions was $102.1 million at September 30, 2004. The contingent Fortuitous; dependent upon the possible occurrence of a future event, the existence of which is not assured.

SIGNIFICANT SOURCES AND USES OF CASH AND SHORT TERM INVESTMENTS

At September 30, 2004, cash and short term investments aggregated $150.4 million compared with $171.9 million at June 30, 2004 and $116.9 million at the end of 2003. Cash flows from operations increased to $101.4 million in the first nine months of 2004 compared with $19.7 million in the same period of 2003 and include cash proceeds of $27 million in respect of the Dundee Precious transaction.
