Basis of Presentation

The fiscal year-end June 30, 2011 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was derived from audited financial statements and, in accordance with interim financial statement standards, does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for annual financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company included herein have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made herein are adequate to make the information not misleading.

These financial statements rely, in part, on estimates. Actual results could differ from these estimates. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position, interim results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The nature of our business is such that the results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full fiscal year. The Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.

Certain items previously reported have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Specifically, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, prior year amounts related to share-based compensation expense have been reclassified and combined with employee compensation and benefits, and depreciation expense has been combined and presented as part of occupancy and technology expenses. Such reclassifications had no impact on net income. There have been no changes in significant accounting policies during the three and six months ended December 31, 2011. For a complete listing of the Company's significant accounting policies, please refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU No. 2011-04 generally provides a uniform framework for fair value measurements and related disclosures between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). Additional disclosure requirements in the update include, among other things, the disclosure of all transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. ASU No. 2011-04 is effective for the interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company adopted this standard in January 2012. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
