   Reconciliation of US GAAP Results to Pro Forma Operating Results
                              (unaudited)


In evaluating the Company's financial performance, management reviews
results from operations which excludes non-operating or one-time
charges. Pro forma earnings per share is a non-GAAP (generally
accepted accounting principles) performance measure, but the Company
believes that it is useful to assist investors in gaining an
understanding of the trends and operating results for the Company's
core businesses. Pro forma earnings per share should be viewed in
addition to, and not in lieu of, the Company's reported results under
US GAAP.

The following is a reconciliation of US GAAP results to pro forma
results for the periods presented (in thousands except per share
amounts):

Notes:
------

(1) In 2006, non-recurring revenues relate to:

    a) our ownership of two memberships on the New York Stock Exchange
       ("NYSE") that as part of their merger with Archipelago
       Holdings, Inc. ("Archipelago") were combined under a new
       holding company named NYSE Group, Inc. in which each NYSE
       member received compensation consisting of cash and restricted
       shares of NYSE Group, Inc. common stock. Accordingly,
       consideration received for our memberships in First Quarter
       2006 consisted of 157,202 restricted shares of NYSE Group,
       Inc. common stock resulting in gains of approximately $6.9
       million and approximately $1.0 million in cash and dividends,
       which was recorded as dividend income. In Second Quarter 2006,
       we were able to sell a portion of the shares received and
       recorded an additional gain of approximately $80,000, and

    b) our sale in Second Quarter 2006 of our remaining interests in a
       Canadian joint venture that we entered into in 2004 with IRESS
       Market Technology Limited ("IRESS"), to IRESS resulting in a
       gain of $5.4 million.

(2) In 2005, non-recurring revenue was comprised of gains from a) our
    shares of Archipelago Holdings common stock that we received as
    part of an equity entitlement program, of which $2.7 million was
    recognized in Second Quarter of 2005, and b) a recovery against
    previous investment write-downs of $0.4 million in First Quarter
    2005.
