(1) Reflects the deconsolidation of a real estate entity and two financial fund management partnerships during fiscal 2010 and two entities, Apidos CDO VI and LCFF, during fiscal 2009.  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 equates to the sum of the liabilities and equity that were similarly eliminated and, as such, there was no change in the Company's net assets.
