(1) Reflects the deconsolidation of LEAF and Apidos during fiscal 2012 and a real estate and two financial fund management partnerships during fiscal 2010. As a result of the deconsolidation of these entities, the amounts noted above were removed from the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.  The sum of the assets removed and cash equated to the sum of the liabilities and equity that were similarly eliminated and, as such, there was no change in the Company’s total net assets.
