The information above excludes the cash flow impacts of actual disposal transactions related to discontinued operations because the Company believes these transactions to be cash flows attributable to the parent company, arising from its decision to dispose of the discontinued operation. In 2010, the Company’s cash flow reflects cash provided by investing activities of $1.13 billion from the disposal of Kroll and $110 million related to the disposition of KLS and in 2009, $75 million primarily from the disposal of Kroll Government Services (“KGS”).
