NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED COMBINED AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2005 AND 2006

(dollars in thousands)

NOTE 1—PURPOSE AND BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THESE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

The accompanying unaudited interim financial data have been prepared by Protego Asesores, S. A. de C. V. (the “Company” or “Asesores”), subsidiaries and Protego SI, S. C. (“Protego Historical”). In the opinion of the management of the Company, they contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 2005 and 2006, and the results of operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2006.

NOTE 2—RESTATEMENT:

Asesores, through its subsidiary Protego Casa de Bolsa, S. A. de C. V. (“PCB”), enters into repurchase agreements with clients whereby PCB transfers to the clients securities (typically, Mexican government securities) in exchange for cash and concurrently agrees to repurchase the securities at a future date for an amount equal to the cash exchanged plus a stipulated premium or interest factor. PCB deploys the cash received from, and acquires the securities deliverable to clients under these repurchase arrangements by purchasing securities in the open market or by entering into reverse repurchase agreements with unrelated third parties. PCB accounts for these repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements as collateralized financing transactions. PCB recorded a liability in the Unaudited Combined and Consolidated Statements of Financial Position in relation to repurchase transactions executed with clients as securities sold under agreements to repurchase. PCB recorded as assets in the Unaudited Combined and Consolidated Statements of Financial Position financial instruments owned and pledged as collateral at fair value (where it has acquired the securities deliverable to clients under these repurchase arrangements by purchasing securities in the open market) and securities purchased under agreements to resell (where it has acquired the securities deliverable to clients under these resell agreements by entering into reverse repurchase agreements with unrelated third parties). As of March 31, 2006, PCB had $98 million of repurchase transactions executed with clients, of which $48 million related to securities PCB purchased in the open market and $50 million of reverse repurchase transactions with third parties. Net income for the period includes interest income earned and interest expense incurred under these agreements. Previously, Asesores accounted for these arrangements on a net basis instead of recording separate assets and liabilities or separately recording revenue for the interest earned and the associated interest expense as an offset to total revenue.

Upon consideration of Financial Interpretation No. 41 (“FIN 41”) and the provisions of SFAS No. 140, Asesores has determined that the historical combined and consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2006 should have reflected these transactions on a gross basis and has restated certain financial information in accordance with SFAS No. 154, for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2006. There was no impact from this restatement on the periods ended prior to March 31, 2005. The information in the following table shows the effect of the restatement on each affected financial statement line item:

NOTE 5—RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

FIN 47—In March 2005, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations” (“FIN 47”). FIN 47 clarifies guidance provided in SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” The term asset retirement obligation refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. Entities are required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred and the liability’s fair value can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 was effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The company estimates that the adoption of FIN 47 had no potential impact on the Company’s combined and consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

SFAS 154—In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154 “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,” which replaces APB Opinion No. 20 and SFAS No. 3, and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This statement is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005, although early adoption is permitted for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after the date SFAS 154 was issued. Except as described in Note 2-Restatement, the adoption of SFAS No. 154 had no material impact on the Unaudited Combined and Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2006.

Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 04-5—In June 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on Issue No. 04-5, “Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights.” Under Issue 04-5, the general partners in a limited partnership or similar entity are presumed to control that limited partnership regardless of the extent of the general partners’ ownership interest in the limited partnership. A general partner should assess the limited partners’ rights and their impact on the presumption of control. If the limited partners have either a) the substantive ability to dissolve the limited partnership or otherwise remove the general partners without cause or b) substantive participating rights, the general partners do not control the limited partnership. For general partners of all new limited partnerships formed and for existing limited partnerships for which the partnership agreement is modified, Issue 04-5 is effective after June 29, 2005. For general partners in all other limited partnerships, Issue 04-5 is effective for the first reporting period in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005, and allows either of two transition methods. As of March 31, 2006 the Company has determined that consolidation of the private equity fund will not be required pursuant to Issue 04-5.

NOTE 6—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

The Company leases certain office space. Future annual minimum lease payments under all non-cancelable operating leases are $174 and $32 in 2006 and 2007, respectively.

NOTE 7—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

On May 12, 2006 Asesores agreed to combine its business with that of Evercore Partners Inc., a leading investment banking boutique in the U.S. Evercore Partners Inc. provides advisory services to prominent multinational corporations on significant mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, restructurings and other strategic corporate transactions. Evercore Partners Inc. approaches its advisory business in much the same way as Asesores, by building long-standing relationships and acting as a trusted advisor to company management free from the conflicts that larger institutions may encounter. Additionally, Asesores, through its subsidiary PCB, provides investment management services to institutional investors and high net worth individuals.

Derived from this agreement Asesores has incurred certain expenses that should be reimbursed once the purpose of the combination is achieved. As of May 31, 2006 these expenses are estimated at $1,036.

Asesores has signed a service agreement with a Senior Managing Director who is leaving the company by the end of June 2006. Once certain conditions are met, this agreement could represent an expense for Protego of up to $2,590 within the next months.
