The condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (U.S. GAAP). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of results.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations; however, management believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. This report should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-08, Intangibles Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment, in an effort to simplify goodwill impairment testing. The amendments permit companies to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in Topic 350. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50%. This standard became effective for the Company on January 1, 2012, and did not have an impact on the Companys results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-5, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). Companies will have two choices of how to present items of net income, comprehensive income and total comprehensive income. Companies can create one continuous statement of comprehensive income or two separate consecutive statements. This standard became effective for the Company on January 1, 2012, the adoption of which changed the presentation of the Companys comprehensive income, but did not have an impact on the Companys results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
(2) Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, various methods are used including market, income and cost approaches. Based on these approaches, certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability are used, including assumptions about risk and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market-corroborated, or generally unobservable firm inputs. Valuation techniques that are used maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Based on the observability of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, fair value measured financial instruments are categorized according to the fair value hierarchy prescribed by Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
· Level 1: Fair value measurements using unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
· Level 2: Fair value measurements using correlation with (directly or indirectly) observable market-based inputs, unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data, or quoted prices in markets that are not active.
· Level 3: Fair value measurements using inputs that are significant and not readily observable in the market.
Level 1 consists of financial instruments whose value is based on quoted market prices such as exchange-traded mutual funds and listed equities.
Level 2 includes financial instruments that are valued based upon observable market spot and forward rates. Financial instruments in this category include non-exchange-traded derivatives such as currency forward contracts.
Level 3 is comprised of financial instruments whose fair value is estimated based on internally developed models or methodologies utilizing significant inputs that are generally less readily observable.
Fair value measurements for those items measured on a recurring basis are as follows (dollars in thousands):

Cash and cash equivalents other than bank deposits are measured at fair value and primarily include U.S. government money market mutual funds.
Securities owned, at fair value and securities sold, not yet purchased, at fair value include corporate stocks, equity index mutual funds and bond mutual funds, all of which are exchange traded.
Currency forward contracts are valued based upon forward exchange rates and approximate the credit risk adjusted discounted net cash flow that would have been realized if the contracts had been sold at the balance sheet date.
Certain items are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The table below details the portion of those items that were measured at fair value during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and the resultant loss recorded (dollars in thousands):

(4) Derivative Instruments
Derivative Contracts
All derivative instruments are recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at fair value in other assets or accounts payable and accrued expenses. Recognition of the gain or loss that results from recording and adjusting a derivative to fair value depends on the intended purpose for entering into the derivative contract. Gains and losses from derivatives that are not accounted for as hedges under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, are recognized immediately in income. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a fair value hedge, the gains or losses from adjusting the derivative to its fair value will be immediately recognized in income and, to the extent the hedge is effective, offset the concurrent recognition of changes in the fair value of the hedged item. Gains or losses from derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge will be recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition in accumulated other comprehensive income (OCI) until the hedged transaction is recognized in income. However, to the extent the hedge is deemed ineffective, the ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative will be recognized immediately in income. For discontinued cash flow hedges, prospective changes in the fair value of the derivative are recognized in income. Any gain or loss in accumulated OCI at the time the hedge is discontinued will continue to be deferred until the original forecasted transaction occurs. However, if it is determined that the likelihood of the original forecasted transaction is no longer probable, the entire related gain or loss in accumulated OCI is immediately reclassified into income.
Economic Hedges
The Company enters into three month forward contracts to sell Euros and buy British Pounds to economically hedge against the risk of currency movements on Euro deposits held in banks across Europe for equity trade settlement. When a contract matures, an
assessment is made as to whether or not the contract value needs to be amended prior to entering into another, to ensure continued economic hedge effectiveness. As these contracts are not designated as hedges, the changes to their fair value are recognized immediately in income. The related counterparty agreements do not contain any credit-risk related contingent features. There were no open three month forward contracts outstanding at June 30, 2012 or December 31, 2011.
When clients request trade settlement in a currency other than the currency in which the trade was executed, the Company enters into foreign exchange contracts in order to close out the resulting foreign currency position. The foreign exchange deals are executed the same day as the underlying trade. As these contracts are not designated as hedges, the changes to their fair value are recognized immediately in income. These foreign exchange contracts are reflected in the tables below.
Fair Values and Effects of Derivatives Held
Asset derivatives are included in other assets while liability derivatives are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The following table summarizes the fair values of the Companys derivative instruments at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 (dollars in thousands). There were no derivatives designated as hedging instruments in either period.

Trading securities owned and sold, not yet purchased primarily consists of temporary positions obtained in the normal course of agency trading activities, including positions held in connection with the creation and redemption of exchange-traded funds on behalf of clients.
Available-for-Sale Securities
Unrealized holding gains and losses for available-for-sale securities, net of tax effects, are reported in accumulated OCI until realized. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company did not hold any available-for-sale securities. During the first half of 2011, the Company sold all of the available-for-sale securities it held for gross proceeds of $2.1 million and recorded a pre-tax gain of $0.5 million.
(7) Income Taxes
The tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is recognized only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution.
During the six months ended June 30, 2012, uncertain tax positions in the U.S. were resolved for the 2005-2007 fiscal years resulting in a decrease in our liability of $0.2 million and the related deferred tax asset of $0.1 million.
The Company had unrecognized tax benefits for tax positions taken of $15.3 million and $14.5 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The Company had accrued interest expense of $1.9 million and $1.6 million, net of related tax effects, related to our unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Goodwill impairment
The Company tests the carrying value of goodwill for impairment at least annually and more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate a potential impairment has occurred. The impairment tests are conducted at the reporting unit level, which for the Company is based on geographic segments and not products and services.
During 2010, indicators of potential impairment prompted the Company to perform goodwill impairment tests at the end of each quarterly interim period. These indicators included a prolonged decrease in market capitalization, a decline in operating results in comparison to prior years, and the significant near-term uncertainty related to both the global economic recovery and the outlook for the Companys industry. As the indicators of potential impairment have not improved, the Company has continued to perform interim
goodwill impairment testing at the end of each quarterly period. All interim impairment tests apply the same valuation techniques and sensitivity analyses used in the Companys annual impairment tests to updated cash flow and profitability forecasts.
Based upon tests performed during the second quarter of 2012, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $274.3 million in connection with the goodwill allocated to its U.S., European and Asia Pacific reporting units. This impairment charge reflects continued weakness in global institutional trading volumes and an increasingly uncertain outlook on near-term business fundamentals as well as the length and severity of the decline in global institutional equity market activity. Consequently, the Company downwardly revised its earnings and cash flow forecasts to reflect adjusted expectations for a significantly slower and more prolonged decline in its global businesses and reduced the multiple used in its market approach to reflect the decline in industry market multiples. Although the revised forecasts continued to result in a fair value for the Canadian reporting unit that was well in excess of its carrying value (which does not include goodwill), the fair values for the U.S., European and Asia Pacific reporting units were determined to be below their carrying values, indicating potential impairment of the goodwill held in these units and requiring step two impairment testing. The step two valuation test yielded aggregate fair values for the tangible and (non-goodwill) intangible assets in each of these reporting units above their aggregate carrying values, which reduced the amount of the implied fair value attributable to goodwill. As a result, goodwill in each of these reporting units was determined to be fully impaired requiring the Company to record a goodwill impairment charge.
Other Intangible Assets

Amortization expense of other intangibles was $1.2 million and $2.4 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, compared with $1.0 million and $2.0 million in the respective prior year periods. These amounts are included in other general and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
During the six months ended June 30, 2012, no other intangibles were deemed impaired, and accordingly, no adjustment was required.

(11) Borrowings
Short-term Bank Loans
The Companys international securities clearance and settlement activities are funded with operating cash or with short-term bank loans in the form of overdraft facilities. At June 30, 2012, there was $8.4 million outstanding under these facilities at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 1.4%, primarily associated with European settlement transactions.
In the U.S., securities clearance and settlement activities are funded with operating cash, securities loaned or with short-term bank loans under a three-year committed credit agreement for up to $150 million entered into with a syndicate of banks and JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent in January 2011 (the Credit Agreement).
At June 30, 2012, there were no amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

(14) Net Capital Requirement
ITG Inc., AlterNet and ITG Derivatives are subject to the SECs Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1), which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital. ITG Inc. has elected to use the alternative method permitted by Rule 15c3-1, which requires that ITG Inc. maintain minimum net capital equal to the greater of $1.0 million or 2% of aggregate debit balances arising from customer transactions, as defined. AlterNet and ITG Derivatives have elected to use the basic method permitted by Rule 15c3-1, which requires that they each maintain minimum net capital equal to the greater of 6 2/3% of aggregate indebtedness or $100,000 and $1.0 million, respectively. Dividends or withdrawals of capital cannot be made if capital is needed to comply with regulatory requirements.
Net capital balances and the amounts in excess of required net capital at June 30, 2012 for the U.S. Operations are as follows (dollars in millions):

(15) Segment Reporting
The Company is organized into four operating segments through which the Companys chief operating decision-makers manage the Companys business. The U.S. Operations and European Operations segments provide trade execution, trade order management, network connectivity and research services. The European Operations segment also includes a technology research and development facility in Israel. The Canadian Operations and Asia Pacific Operations segments provide trade execution, network connectivity and research services.
The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. The Company allocates resources to, and evaluates the performance of, its reportable segments based on income or loss before income tax expense. Consistent with the Companys resource allocation and operating performance evaluation approach, the effects of inter-segment activities are eliminated except in limited circumstances where certain technology-related costs are allocated to a segment to support that segments revenue producing activities. Commissions and fees revenue for trade executions and commission share revenues are principally attributed to each segment based upon the location of execution of the related transaction. Recurring revenues are principally attributed based upon the location of the client using the respective service.

(16) Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company is a member of various U.S. and non-U.S. exchanges and clearing houses that trade and clear equities and/or derivative contracts. The Company also accesses certain clearing houses through the memberships of third parties. Associated with these memberships and third-party relationships, the Company may be required to pay a proportionate share of financial obligations of another member who may default on its obligations to the exchanges or the clearing houses. While the rules governing different exchange or clearing house memberships vary, in general the Companys obligations would arise only if the exchanges and clearing houses had previously exhausted other remedies. The maximum potential payout under these memberships cannot be estimated. The Company has not recorded any contingent liability in the condensed consolidated financial statements for these agreements and believes that any potential requirement to make payments under these agreements is remote. In the ordinary course of business, the Company guarantees obligations of subsidiaries which may arise from third-party clearing relationships and trading counterparties. The activities of the subsidiaries covered by these guarantees are included in the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Companys customer financing and securities settlement activities may require the Company to pledge customer securities as collateral in support of various secured financing transactions such as securities loaned and short-term bank loans. In the event the counterparty is unable to meet its contractual obligation to return customer securities pledged as collateral, the Company may be exposed to the risk of acquiring the securities at prevailing market prices in order to satisfy its customer obligations. The Company controls this risk by monitoring the market value of securities pledged on a daily basis and by requiring adjustments of collateral levels in the event of excess market exposure.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents, securities owned at fair value, receivables from brokers, dealers and clearing organizations and receivables from customers. Cash and cash equivalents and securities owned, at fair value are deposited with high credit quality financial institutions.
Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto.
Overview
ITG is an independent execution and research broker that partners with global portfolio managers and traders to provide unique data-driven insights throughout the investment process. From investment decision through settlement, ITG helps clients understand market trends, improve performance, mitigate risk and navigate increasingly complex markets. A leader in electronic trading since launching the POSIT crossing network in 1987, ITG takes a consultative approach in delivering the highest quality institutional liquidity, execution services, analytical tools and proprietary research. ITG is headquartered in New York with offices in North America, Europe and the Asia Pacific region.
Our reportable operating segments are: U.S. Operations, Canadian Operations, European Operations and Asia Pacific Operations (see Note 15, Segment Reporting, to the condensed consolidated financial statements). The U.S. Operations and European Operations segments provide trade execution, trade order management, network connectivity and research services. The European Operations segment also includes a technology research and development facility in Israel. The Canadian Operations and Asia Pacific Operations segments provide trade execution, network connectivity and research services.
Sources of Revenues
Our revenues consist of commissions and fees, recurring and other.
Commissions and fees are derived primarily from (i) commissions charged for trade execution services (including those to satisfy research obligations), (ii) income generated on net executions, whereby equity orders are filled at different prices within or at the National Best Bid and Offer (NBBO) and (iii) commission sharing arrangements between ITG Net (our private value-added FIX-based financial electronic communications network) and third-party brokers and ATSs whose trading products are made available to our clients on our order management system (OMS) and execution management system (EMS) applications and for our ITG Single Ticket Clearing Service. Because commissions are earned on a per-transaction basis, such revenues fluctuate from period to period depending on (a) the volume of securities traded through our services in the U.S. and Canada, (b) the contract value of securities traded in Europe and the Asia Pacific region and (c) our commission rates. Certain factors that affect our volumes and contract values traded include: (i) macro trends in the global equities markets that affect overall institutional equity trading activity, (ii) competitive pressure, including pricing, created by a proliferation of electronic execution competitors and (iii) potential changes in market structure in the U.S. and other regions. In addition to share volume, revenues from net executions are also impacted by the width of spreads within the NBBO. Trade orders are delivered to us from our OMS and EMS products and other vendors products, direct computer-to-computer links to customers through ITG Net and third-party networks and phone orders from our customers.
Recurring revenues are derived from the following primary sources: (i) connectivity fees generated through ITG Net for the ability of the sell-side to receive orders from, and send indications of interest to, the buy-side, (ii) software and analytical products and services, (iii) maintenance and customer technical support for our OMS and (iv) subscription revenue generated from the usage of our investment research.
Other revenues include: (i) income from principal trading, including the net spread on foreign exchange contracts executed to facilitate equity trades by clients in different currencies, (ii) the net interest spread earned on securities borrowed and loaned matched book transactions, (iii) non-recurring consulting services, such as one-time implementation and customer training related activities, (iv) investment and interest income, (v) interest income on securities borrowed in connection with customers settlement activities and (vi) market gains/losses resulting from temporary positions in securities assumed in the normal course of our agency trading business (including client errors and accommodations).
Expenses
Compensation and employee benefits, our largest expense, consists of salaries and wages, incentive compensation, including cash and deferred share-based awards, as well as employee benefits and taxes. Incentive compensation fluctuates based on revenues, profitability and other measures, taking into account the landscape for key talent. Incentive compensation includes a combination of cash and deferred stock-based awards, with only the cash portion, representing a lesser portion of our total compensation costs, expensed in the current period. As a result, our ratio of compensation expense to revenues may fluctuate from period-to-period based on revenue levels.
Transaction processing expense consists of costs to access various third-party execution destinations and to process, clear and settle transactions. These costs tend to fluctuate with share and trade volumes, the mix of trade execution services used by clients and the rates charged by third parties.
Occupancy and equipment expense consists primarily of rent and utilities related to leased premises, office equipment and depreciation and amortization of fixed assets and leasehold improvements.
Telecommunications and data processing expenses primarily consist of costs for obtaining market data, telecommunications services and systems maintenance.
Other general and administrative expenses primarily include software amortization, consulting, business development, professional fees and intangible amortization.
Interest expense consists primarily of costs associated with outstanding debt and credit facilities.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures as such term is defined in SEC Regulation G, to clarify and enhance understanding of past performance and prospects for the future. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a companys operating performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes or includes amounts that are included in, or excluded from, the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For example, non-GAAP measures may exclude the impact of certain unique and/or non-recurring items such as acquisitions, divestitures, restructuring charges, large write-offs or items outside of managements control. Management believes that the following non-GAAP financial measures provide investors and analysts useful insight into our financial position and operating performance.
Adjusted expense and adjusted net income disclosures excluding certain non-operating items are provided to facilitate the relevant period-to-period comparison of expenses and net income by excluding these unusual items that impact overall comparability. These non-GAAP measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to, expenses and net loss as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Reconciliations of adjusted expenses and adjusted net income to expenses and net loss and related per share amounts as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP are provided below.

(a) During the second quarter of 2011, we acquired Ross Smith Energy Group, Ltd., a Calgary-based independent provider of research on the oil and gas industry. In connection with the acquisition, we incurred approximately $2.5 million of acquisition related costs, including legal fees, contract settlement costs and other professional fees.
(b) During the second quarter of 2011, we implemented a restructuring plan primarily focused on reducing employment costs. The cost reduction plan resulted in a restructuring charge totaling $17.7 million. These costs included employee separation and related costs of $17.4 million and lease consolidation costs of $0.3 million.
Executive Summary for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2012
Consolidated Overview
The economic recovery following the 2008 financial crisis continues to be slow with many economists recently lowering forecasts in light of continued elevated unemployment rates and concerns over sovereign debt levels. In this environment, our business continues to feel the effects of the broadly pessimistic investor sentiment along with a heightened skepticism of the integrity of financial markets, which was further impacted by the recent Facebook initial public offering. This is evidenced by additional outflows from domestic equity funds of $37 billion in the second quarter, bringing year-to-date outflows to over $52 billion and cumulative outflows since the beginning of 2009 to more than $300 billion (according to the Investment Company Institute). Market-wide equity trading activity continued to be sluggish in the U.S. and was down sharply during the second quarter in the international regions that we operate in, impacting our revenues and our results. Our adjusted net income (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures) for the quarter was $1.9 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to $5.8 million, or $0.14 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2011. Consolidated revenues of $126.9 million declined 11% from the $142.6 million generated in the second quarter of 2011. As a result of the items in the table detailed above in Non-GAAP Financial Measures, we incurred a net loss on a U.S. GAAP basis of $247.1 million, or ($6.40) per diluted share, for the second quarter compared to a net loss on a U.S. GAAP basis of $196.1 million, or ($4.77) per diluted share, during the second quarter of 2011.
Lower trading activity and prolonged outflows from domestic equity funds continue to shrink the pool of equity commissions and increase the competition among securities brokers. We continue to pursue our strategy of capturing additional commission dollars through global product expansion and through our data-driven research offering, while maintaining a disciplined approach to expense management. While investor asset allocations continue to move away from equities, we are proceeding cautiously given the lack of visibility as to when, and to what extent, conditions will become more favorable for our business. As we weather this period of uncertainty, we are focused on improving profitability while also maintaining flexibility to allocate resources to growth opportunities. The cost reduction measures we put in place in 2011 have helped to preserve profitability (excluding impairment charges) in the U.S. (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures), where expenses declined compared to the second quarter of 2011 despite the inclusion of incremental research costs from our June 2011 acquisition of Ross Smith Energy Group, Ltd. (RSEG).
In the second quarter, we recorded a charge of $274.3 million to fully impair our remaining goodwill, following an initial impairment charge of $225.0 million in the second quarter of 2011. This non-cash charge resulted from the weak trading environment and a decline in industry market multiples (see Critical Accounting Estimates) and has no impact on debt covenants, cash flows or day-to-day business operations.
Consolidated expenses for the quarter were $397.5 million compared to $377.2 million in the second quarter of 2011 primarily due to the higher goodwill impairment charge described above. Adjusted expenses (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures) for the quarter were $123.2 million compared to adjusted expenses of $132.0 million in the second quarter of 2011. In the U.S., adjusted expenses were $80.7 million compared to adjusted expenses of $87.1 million during the second quarter of 2011, declining primarily due to our cost reduction efforts and lower compensation and transaction processing costs, both associated with lower revenue levels. Similarly, our adjusted non-U.S. expenses declined to $42.5 million during the second quarter of 2012 compared to adjusted expenses
of $44.8 million in the second quarter of 2011. As a result of the items in the table detailed above in Non-GAAP Financial Measures, expenses on a U.S. GAAP basis in the U.S. were $325.8 million compared to expenses of $330.1 million during the second quarter of 2011. Similarly, our non-U.S. expenses increased to $71.6 million on a U.S. GAAP basis during the second quarter of 2012 compared to adjusted expenses of $47.1 million in the second quarter of 2011.
Given the uncertainty surrounding global equity trading activity, we will continue to pursue rigorous expense discipline to further improve our operating leverage and to maintain the flexibility we need to pursue selected growth opportunities. This approach will position us well for any cyclical or secular rises in equity volumes going forward.
Segment Discussions
Our U.S. average daily executed volumes were 183.0 million shares per day, down 4% versus the second quarter of 2011 and in-line with the 5% decline in the overall combined average daily market volume of NYSE and NASDAQ-listed securities during the same period. While the outflows from domestic equity funds have continued to dampen our core fund manager client volumes, the strong flows from our sell-side client segment have become a larger share of our volume mix. Although the growing share of lower-priced sell-side flows has reduced our overall average revenue capture per share, we benefit significantly from both the incremental margin generated by using our excess capacity as well as from the enhanced liquidity provided to our buy-side client base. As these revenues only compensated in part for the reduced revenues from our core fund manager clients, our U.S. commissions and fees declined 17% compared to the second quarter of 2011 to $58.5 million. In this environment, we are focused on leveraging our research offering and on continuing to manage our U.S. cost structure, where adjusted expenses (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures) were down 7% compared to the second quarter of 2011, despite the incremental costs from our energy research operations acquired in June 2011.
In Canada, average daily trading volumes on all Canadian markets declined 17% as compared to the second quarter of 2011. Commission revenues in Canada were 9% lower compared to the second quarter of 2011, as higher revenue capture per share for clients using our desk services and the growing market share of our MATCH Now dark pool offset some of the impact from lower market volumes. Recurring revenues increased 54% over the second quarter of 2011 due to ITG Investment Research revenues and increased ITG Net connectivity revenues. As in the U.S., we plan to continue to expand our market reach in Canada with research services.
In Europe, institutional trading was lower in the second quarter with market activity down over 15% compared with the same quarter last year and 10% sequentially. The lack of a long-term solution to the European debt crisis and poor global economic data continue to dampen trading activity. With fierce competition in the European agency brokerage space, we have focused on growing our market share with new business from sell-side clients to generate incremental margins and provide enhanced liquidity to our traditional client base, and on managing costs to sustain profitability in this challenging and volatile environment. While market activity fell, the additional sell-side liquidity attracted into POSIT helped improve our market share albeit at lower commission rates. European commission revenues fell 14%, as higher revenue from sell-side accounts and from U.S. clients partially offset the reduced activity from European fund managers. Adjusted expenses (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures) were down 14% compared to the second quarter of 2011. The continuing uncertainty surrounding the economic climate in the region could continue to impact our near-term results.
While the Asia Pacific favorable long-term outlook still holds, particularly in relation to western economies, Asia Pacific remains linked to the world outlook as it is highly dependent on exports to the U.S. and Europe. Despite favorable equity market volumes in the first quarter of 2012, the second quarter saw much lower trading activity in virtually all regional markets. Market-wide value traded in the region was down 23% compared to the second quarter of 2011 and 15% sequentially. Our Asia Pacific commissions and fees decreased 16% from the prior year quarter driven largely by lower executed value and lower average commission rates due to a higher portion of our executed value originating from lower-rate sell-side clients. We continue to improve our market share in the region as our executed value in the region fell by only 9% year-over-year compared to the 23% decline market-wide. Adjusted expenses (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures) were down 9% compared to the second quarter of 2011. We view Asia Pacific as a significant opportunity for ITG as electronic trading continues to grow its market share across the region, while client demand for dark liquidity is also on the rise.
Capital Resource Allocation
In the second quarter, we returned $4.1 million, or 221% of adjusted earnings (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures), to stockholders through the repurchase of 450,000 shares at an average price of $9.16. As we view our stock as an attractive investment at current levels, we continue to believe that share repurchases are an effective way to return capital to stockholders.

Following the acquisition of RSEG in early June 2011, the U.S. Operations in the second quarter of 2012 includes a full quarter of revenues from RSEGs U.S. clients, which comprise a majority of its client base, along with all of RSEGs operating expenses, net of a charge to our Canadian Operations pursuant to a distribution agreement for costs attributable to RSEG revenue recognized in Canada.
Our U.S. trading volumes fell 4% from the second quarter of 2011, in-line with the 5% decline in the overall U.S. equity volumes (as measured by the combined share volume in NYSE and NASDAQ-listed securities). While trading activity by fund managers continues to be weak, our average daily volumes continue to benefit from our growing sell-side client segment.
Our average revenue capture per share rate has remained steady since the fourth quarter of 2011 at $0.0044 even with the growing portion of lower-rate sell-side client volume over the same period as we benefitted from higher rates paid by research clients. However, compared to the second quarter of 2011, our rate per share declined $0.0007 reflecting a significantly higher volume from our lower-rate sell-side client segment, coupled with continued weakness in trading activity from our core fund manager clients. The sell-side client segment comprised 50% of our average daily volume in the second quarter, compared to 37% in the second quarter of 2011. This business mix change, together with the decline in volume, resulted in commissions and fees declining 17% versus the comparable period last year.

* Excludes activity from ITG Derivatives and ITG Net commission share arrangements.
Recurring revenues increased 2% from the full quarter impact of our RSEG acquisition which were offset by lower analytical product subscription revenues and connectivity fees.
Other revenues decreased $0.4 million due to a decrease in gains from temporary positions obtained in the course of our trading activities.
Total expenses of $325.8 million include a goodwill impairment charge of $245.1 million, while total expenses for the second quarter of 2011 of $330.1 million include the following: a goodwill impairment charge ($225.0 million), restructuring charges ($15.4 million) and acquisition related costs ($2.5 million). Excluding these charges, adjusted expenses (see Non-GAAP Financial
Measures) were $80.7 million, compared to $87.1 million for the prior year quarter as savings from prior cost reduction initiatives offset incremental expenses from RSEG of $1.9 million.
Compensation and employee benefits decreased 10%, resulting from a 10% decrease in headcount largely attributable to our restructuring activities in the second quarter of 2011, and lower incentive compensation costs associated with lower revenue levels, partially offset by a reduction in capitalized compensation for software development.
Transaction processing costs were down 19%, outpacing the 4% decline in total trading volume, due in part to lower execution costs as a result of an increase in the portion of trades being internally crossed through POSIT.
Other expenses remained relatively unchanged from the second quarter of 2011 as cost savings resulting from the consolidation of leased facilities and other initiatives were offset by an increase in business development efforts, professional service fees and regulatory costs. During the fourth quarter of 2012, we expect to incur duplicate rent estimated at between $1.5 million and $2.0 million based upon the revised timing of when we expect to commence the build-out of our new headquarters in lower Manhattan, while we continue to occupy our existing headquarters in midtown Manhattan.
In the second quarters of 2012 and 2011, we recorded goodwill impairment charges of $245.1 million and $225.0 million, respectively, reflecting the continued weakness in institutional trading volumes which resulted in lower estimated future cash flows of the U.S. Operations reporting unit, and a decline in industry market multiples (see Critical Accounting Estimates).
Restructuring charges primarily include costs related to employee separation and related costs incurred in the second quarter of 2011.
Acquisition related costs were incurred in connection with the June 2011 acquisition of RSEG, consisting of $0.7 million in professional services, such as legal and accounting services, as well as $1.8 million in costs to terminate a distribution agreement with a third party, net of a $1.0 million recovery from RSEGs former owners.
Interest expense incurred in 2012 primarily relates to interest cost on our $25.5 million term debt financing obtained in the second quarter of 2011 and commitment fees relating to the three-year, $150 million revolving credit agreement we entered into in January 2011, as well as debt issuance cost amortization relating to both facilities.

Currency translation decreased total Canadian revenues and expenses by $0.9 million and $0.7 million, respectively, resulting in a $0.2 million reduction to pre-tax income.
Canadian commissions and fees declined 9%, while trading across all Canadian markets declined 17%. Our favorable relative performance resulted from market share gains in our MATCH Now dark pool and higher revenue capture per share for clients using our trading desk services, partially offset by an unfavorable foreign exchange impact and rate compression on clients using our electronic trading services.
Recurring revenues increased due to Canadian client usage of investment research services for a full quarter in 2012 versus one month following the June 2011 acquisition of RSEG and an increase in the number of billable connections through ITG Net. The improvement in other revenues is primarily a result of higher equities arbitrage revenues.
Compensation and employee benefits costs increased 8% primarily from new sales staff added to market the investment research product to Canadian clients.
Transaction processing costs decreased due to the impact of improved routing capabilities.
The increase in other expenses was primarily driven by the full quarter of investment research distribution charges versus one month in the second quarter of 2011 and increases in telecommunications and occupancy costs related to moving our Canadian data center.
Restructuring charges primarily include costs related to employee separation and related costs incurred in the second quarter of 2011.

Currency translation decreased total European revenues and expenses (excluding the currency impact on the goodwill impairment) by $0.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively, resulting in a $0.3 million increase to adjusted pre-tax income (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures).
Despite a 15% decrease in market-wide turnover, our average daily notional value executed increased 12% over the prior year quarter due to an increase in sell-side client activity, which offset a decline from our core fund manager clients. As a result of this changing mix, we saw a decline in our average commission rate as sell-side accounts pay a lower rate and our commissions and fees declined 14%. Similar to our strategy in the U.S., we are looking to benefit from the growth in sell-side client activity by using excess capacity to generate incremental margins and to provide enhanced liquidity to our core fund manager client base.
Recurring and other revenues did not change materially from the prior year period.
The decrease in compensation and employee benefits expenses was primarily driven by reduced headcount, lower incentive compensation associated with lower revenues and foreign currency translation.
Transaction processing costs decreased even with a 12% growth in executed value due to a higher portion of trades crossed in POSIT.
Other expenses were down slightly as our continued focus on cost reductions in areas such as telecommunications and market data costs and professional fees were largely offset by higher costs related to investments in our London and Stockholm data centers built for the purpose of reducing latency, along with the impact of lower expense allocations from our Israeli development group to other operating segments.
In the second quarter of 2012, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $28.5 million reflecting the continued weakness in institutional trading volumes which resulted in lower estimated future cash flows of the European Operations reporting unit (see Critical Accounting Estimates).
Restructuring charges primarily include costs related to employee separation and related costs incurred in the second quarter of 2011.

Currency translation, primarily from the weaker Australian dollar, decreased both total revenues and total expenses (excluding the currency impact on the goodwill impairment) by $0.2 million, having no effect on Asia Pacific adjusted pre-tax loss (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures).
Asia Pacific commissions and fees decreased 16% from the prior year quarter driven largely by lower executed value and lower average commission rates due to rate compression on activity from sell-side clients and a higher portion of executed value originating from the sell-side. Our executed value in the region fell by only 9% during the current quarter while overall activity in the Asia Pacific markets where we operate decreased approximately 23% from the second quarter of 2011.
The growth in recurring revenues primarily reflects growth in the number of billable network connections through ITG Net.
The decrease in compensation and employee benefits costs reflects lower incentive compensation and stock-based compensation.
Despite lower executed value, transaction processing costs increased as a higher proportion of trades were executed in costlier venues such as Philippines and Taiwan, where we pay higher clearing and settlement costs than in Australia and Hong Kong.
The decrease in other expenses reflects facilities and telecommunications-related cost savings as well as lower allocated software development costs.
In the second quarter of 2012, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $0.7 million reflecting the continued weakness in institutional trading volumes which resulted in lower estimated future cash flows of the Asia Pacific Operations reporting unit (see Critical Accounting Estimates).
The restructuring charges recorded in 2011 reflect lease abandonment charges.
Consolidated income tax expense
Our effective tax rate was 8.7% in the second quarter of 2012 compared to 16.4% in the second quarter of 2011. The low effective tax rates in both the second quarters of 2012 and 2011 are directly attributed to the significant impairment charges in the U.S., Europe and Asia Pacific in 2012 and in the U.S. in 2011 which are either only partially or fully non-deductible. Our consolidated effective tax rate can vary from period to period depending on, among other factors, the geographic and business mix of our earnings.

Following the acquisition of RSEG in early June 2011, the U.S. Operations in 2012 include a full period of revenues from RSEGs U.S. clients, which comprise a majority of its client base, along with all of RSEGs operating expenses, net of a charge to our Canadian Operations pursuant to a distribution agreement for costs attributable to RSEG revenue recognized in Canada.
Our U.S. trading volumes fell 3% from the first half of 2011, while overall U.S. equity volumes (as measured by the combined share volume in NYSE and NASDAQ-listed securities) were 10% lower. While trading activity by fund managers continues to be weak, our average daily volumes continue to benefit from our growing sell-side client business, which offsets much of the reduced volume flows from our core fund manager clients.
In comparison to the first half of 2011, we experienced a $0.0009 per share overall rate compression reflecting significantly higher business originating from higher-turnover, lower-rate clients, including our sell-side client segment, coupled with continued weakness in trading activity from our core fund manager clients. The sell-side client segment comprised 49% of our average daily volume in the first half of 2012, compared to 37% in the first half of 2011. This business mix change, together with the decline in volume, resulted in commissions and fees declining 18% versus the prior year period.

* Excludes activity from ITG Derivatives and ITG Net commission share arrangements.
Recurring revenues declined 1% reflecting the impact of client attrition from our OMS product resulting in lower OMS subscription revenues and connectivity fees, partially offset by the impact of a full period of investment research revenues from RSEG, which we acquired in June 2011.
Other revenues decreased $1.0 million as the first half of 2011 included a gain of $0.5 million on the sale of our entire common stock holdings in NYSE Euronext, Inc. as well as gains from temporary positions obtained in the course of our trading activities and higher consulting fees. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in stock borrow revenues from our matched book business.
Total expenses for the first half of 2012 of $407.1 million include a goodwill impairment charge of $245.1 million, while total expenses for the first half of 2011 of $417.1 million include the following: a goodwill impairment charge of $225.0 million, restructuring charges of $15.4 million and acquisition related costs of $2.5 million. Excluding these charges, adjusted expenses were $162.0 million, compared to $174.1 million.
Compensation and employee benefits decreased 11%, resulting from a comparable reduction in headcount largely attributable to our restructuring activities in the second quarter of 2011, and lower incentive compensation costs associated with lower revenue levels, partially offset by lower capitalized compensation for software development and higher severance charges.
Transaction processing costs were down 15%, outpacing the 3% decline in total trading volume, due in part to lower execution costs as a result of an increase in the portion of trades being internally crossed through POSIT.
Other expenses remained flat year over year as cost savings resulting from the consolidation of leased facilities and other initiatives were offset by an increase in business development efforts and regulatory costs.
In the second quarters of 2012 and 2011, we recorded goodwill impairment charges of $245.1 million and $225.0 million, respectively, reflecting the continued weakness in institutional trading volumes which resulted in lower estimated future cash flows of the U.S. Operations reporting unit, and a decline in industry market multiples (see Critical Accounting Estimates).
Restructuring charges primarily include costs related to employee separation and related costs incurred in the second quarter of 2011.
Acquisition related costs were incurred in connection with the June 2011 acquisition of RSEG, consisting of $0.7 million in professional services, such as legal and accounting services, as well as $1.8 million in costs to terminate a distribution agreement with a third party, net of a $1.0 million recovery from RSEGs former owners.
Interest expense incurred in 2012 primarily relates to interest cost on our $25.5 million term debt financing obtained in the second quarter of 2011 and commitment fees relating to the three-year, $150 million revolving credit agreement we entered into in January 2011, as well as debt issuance cost amortization relating to both facilities.

Currency translation decreased total Canadian revenues and expenses by $1.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively, resulting in a $0.3 million reduction to pre-tax income.
Canadian commissions and fees declined 9%, while trading across all Canadian markets declined 19%. Our favorable relative performance resulted from market share gains in our MATCH Now dark pool and higher revenue capture per share for clients using our trading desk services, partially offset by an unfavorable foreign exchange impact and rate compression on clients using our electronic trading services.
Recurring revenues increased due to Canadian client usage of investment research services for a full period in 2012, as well as an increase in the number of billable connections through ITG Net. The improvement in other revenues reflects a decrease in trading errors and client accommodations.
Compensation and employee benefits costs increased due to an increase stock-based compensation, which fluctuates for our Canadian operations based on the changes in the market price of our stock and from new sales staff added to market the investment research product to Canadian clients, partially offset by lower incentive compensation.
Transaction processing costs decreased due to the impact of improved routing capabilities.
The increase in other expenses was primarily driven by a full period of investment research distribution charges, increases in telecommunications and occupancy costs related to moving the Canadian data center, as well as higher business development costs and software amortization.
Restructuring charges primarily include costs related to employee separation and related costs incurred in the second quarter of 2011.

Currency translation decreased total European revenues and expenses (excluding the currency impact on the goodwill impairment) by $1.0 million and $1.3 million, respectively, resulting in a $0.3 million increase to adjusted pre-tax income (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures).
During the first half of 2012, we saw a 25% increase in executed value in Europe while overall market activity was down 15%. Since this growth was from lower rate sell-side clients and the activity from our core fund manager clients was down compared to the first half of 2011, our average commission rate was lower resulting in relatively flat European commissions and fees.
Recurring and other revenues did not change materially from the prior year period.
The decrease in compensation and employee benefits expenses was primarily driven by lower headcount and lower incentive compensation, partially offset by a decrease in capitalized compensation for software development.
Transaction processing costs were lower even with the increased trading activity described above due to a larger portion of trades crossed in POSIT during the first half of 2012.
Other expenses were down slightly reflecting our continued focus on cost reductions in areas such as telecommunications and market data costs, as well as lower recruitment costs and software amortization. These reductions were partially offset by increased costs related to investments in our London and Stockholm data centers built for the purpose of reducing latency, along with the impact of lower allocations out from our Israeli development group.
In the second quarter of 2012, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $28.5 million reflecting the continued weakness in institutional trading volumes which resulted in lower estimated future cash flows of the European Operations reporting unit (see Critical Accounting Estimates).
Restructuring charges primarily include costs related to employee separation and related costs incurred in the second quarter of 2011.

Currency translation had virtually no impact on Asia Pacific revenues or expenses, and thus to pre-tax income.
Asia Pacific commissions and fees remained relatively flat compared to the prior year as increased market share offset lower average commission rates due to rate compression on activity with sell-side clients and to a higher portion of executed value originating from the sell-side. Our executed value in the region grew by 5% during the first half of 2012 while overall activity in the Asia Pacific markets where we operate decreased approximately 21%.
The growth in recurring revenues primarily reflects growth in the number of billable network connections through ITG Net.
The decrease in compensation and employee benefits costs reflects lower incentive compensation and stock-based compensation.
Transaction processing costs increased due to the higher trading values compared to the prior year period as well as a higher portion of trades being executed in costlier venues such as Japan and Indonesia, where we pay higher clearing and settlement costs than in Australia and Hong Kong.
The decrease in other expenses reflects facilities and telecommunications-related cost savings as well as lower allocated software development costs, partially offset by an increase in market data to support business growth.
In the second quarter of 2012, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $0.7 million reflecting the continued weakness in institutional trading volumes which resulted in lower estimated future cash flows of the Asia Pacific Operations reporting unit (see Critical Accounting Estimates).
The restructuring charges recorded in 2011 reflected lease abandonment charges.
Consolidated income tax expense
Our effective tax rate was 7.8% in the first half of 2012 compared to 14.2% in the first half of 2011. The low effective tax rates in both periods are directly attributed to the significant impairment charges in the U.S., Europe and Asia Pacific in 2012 and in the U.S. in 2011 which are either only partially or fully non-deductible. Our consolidated effective tax rate can vary from period to period depending on, among other factors, the geographic and business mix of our earnings.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Our primary source of liquidity is cash provided by operations. Our liquidity requirements result from our working capital needs, which include clearing and settlement activities, as well as our regulatory capital needs. A substantial portion of our assets are liquid, consisting of cash and cash equivalents or assets readily convertible into cash. Cash is principally invested in U.S. government money market mutual funds and other money market mutual funds. At June 30, 2012, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents totaled $228.8 million.
As a self-clearing broker-dealer in the U.S., we are subject to cash deposit requirements with clearing organizations that may be large in relation to total liquid assets and may fluctuate significantly based upon the nature and size of customers trading activity and market volatility. At June 30, 2012, we had interest-bearing security deposits totaling $25.6 million with clearing organizations in the U.S. for the settlement of equity trades. In the normal course of our settlement activities, we may also need to temporarily finance customer securities positions from short settlements or delivery failures. These financings may be funded from existing cash resources, borrowings under stock loan transactions or short-term bank loans under our committed facility. In January 2011, we established a $150 million three-year revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of banks and JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent to finance these temporary positions and to satisfy temporary spikes in clearing margin requirements.
We self-clear equity trades in Hong Kong and Australia and maintain restricted cash deposits of $25.8 million to support overdraft facilities. In Europe, we maintain $27.6 million in restricted cash deposits supporting working capital facilities primarily in the form of overdraft protection for our European clearing and settlement needs.
Capital Resources
Capital resource requirements relate to capital purchases, as well as business investments and are generally funded from operations. When required, as in the case of a major acquisition, our strong cash generating ability has historically allowed us to access U.S. capital markets.

The net decrease in operating cash flow during the second quarter of 2012 from receivables/payables from/to customers and brokers primarily related to European settlement activities at June 30, 2012, which were partially financed by a short-term bank loan of $8.4 million. We also typically have a decrease in operating cash flow during the first half from other working capital and operating assets and liabilities from the payment of the cash portion of our incentive compensation program for the prior year.
In the normal course of our clearing and settlement activities worldwide, cash is typically used to fund restricted or segregated cash accounts (under regulations and other), broker and customer fails to deliver/receive, securities borrowed, deposits with clearing organizations and net activity related to receivables/payables from/to customers and brokers. The cash requirements vary from day to day depending on volume transacted and customer trading patterns.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities of $24.8 million includes our investment in capitalizable software development projects and computer hardware, software and facilities. In the fourth quarter, we expect to commence the build-out of our new headquarters in lower Manhattan and anticipate that a portion of the related capital expenditures will be financed through debt.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities of $8.1 million primarily reflects repurchases of ITG common stock, shares withheld for net settlements of share-based awards and repayments of long-term debt, offset by short-term bank borrowings from overdraft facilities arising from international clearing, proceeds from a sales-leasesback transaction and the reduction of deferred compensation amounts through issuances of our common stock.
In June 2012, $1.9 million was drawn on a master lease facility to finance purchased assets. The lease is payable over 48 months in monthly installments of approximately $38,000 and accrues interest at an annualized rate of 3% plus the average one month LIBOR for dollar deposits. The master lease facility expired on June 30, 2012.
During the first half of 2012, we repurchased approximately 1.5 million shares of our common stock at a cost of approximately $15.5 million, which was funded from our available cash resources. Of these shares, 1.3 million were purchased under our Board of Directors authorization for a total cost of $13.2 million (average cost of $10.38 per share). An additional 202,052 shares repurchased ($2.3 million) pertained solely to the satisfaction of minimum statutory withholding tax upon the net settlement of equity awards. As of June 30, 2012, the total remaining number of shares currently available for repurchase under ITGs stock repurchase program was 2.7 million. The specific timing and amount of repurchases will vary based on market conditions and other factors.
Regulatory Capital
Under the SECs Uniform Net Capital Rule, our U.S. broker-dealer subsidiaries are required to maintain at least the minimum level of net capital required under Rule 15c3-1 at all times. Dividends or withdrawals of capital cannot be made from these entities if the capital is needed to comply with regulatory requirements.
Our net capital balances and the amounts in excess of required net capital at June 30, 2012 for our U.S. Operations are as follows (dollars in millions):

Liquidity and Capital Resource Outlook
Historically, our working capital, stock repurchase and investment activity requirements have been funded from cash from operations and short-term loans, with the exception of strategic acquisitions, which at times have required long-term financing. We believe that our cash flow from operations, existing cash balances and our available credit facilities will be sufficient to meet our ongoing operating cash and regulatory capital needs, while also complying with the terms of our 2011 revolving credit agreement. However, our ability to borrow additional funds may be inhibited by financial lending institutions ability or willingness to lend to us on commercially acceptable terms.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations
We are a member of various U.S. and non-U.S. exchanges and clearing houses that trade and clear, respectively, equities and/or derivative contracts. Associated with our membership, we may be required to pay a proportionate share of financial obligations of another member who may default on its obligations to the exchanges or the clearing house. While the rules governing different exchange or clearinghouse memberships vary, in general, our guarantee obligations would arise only if the exchange had previously exhausted its resources. The maximum potential payout under these memberships cannot be estimated. We have not recorded any contingent liability in the condensed consolidated financial statements for these agreements and believe that any potential requirement to make payments under these agreements is remote.
As of June 30, 2012, our other contractual obligations and commercial commitments consisted principally of fixed charges, including minimum future rentals under non-cancelable operating leases, minimum future purchases under non-cancelable purchase agreements and minimum compensation under employment agreements.
There has been no significant change to such arrangements and obligations since December 31, 2011.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The following describes an update to our critical accounting estimates, which are more fully described in Item 7, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Goodwill Impairment: Testing Methodology and Valuation Considerations
As set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, we performed our annual goodwill impairment testing in the fourth quarter of 2011 using carrying values as of October 1, 2011. We also test goodwill for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that could potentially reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value.
The impairment assessment requires management to make estimates regarding the fair value of the reporting unit to which goodwill has been assigned. As previously noted, our reporting units are based on geographic regions and not products and services. The fair values of our reporting units are determined by considering the income approach, and where appropriate, a combination of the income and market approaches to valuation.
Under the income approach, the fair value of the reporting unit is estimated based on the present value of expected future cash flows. The income approach is dependent on a discounted cash flow model for each of our reporting units which incorporates a cash flow forecast plus a terminal value (a commonly used methodology to capture the present value of perpetual cash flows assuming an estimated sustainable long-term growth rate). Such forecasts consider business plans, historical and anticipated future results based upon our expectations for future product offerings, our market opportunities and challenges and other factors. The discount rates used to determine the present value of future cash flows are based upon an adjusted version of the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) to estimate the required rate of return on equity capital. The CAPM measures the rate of return required by investors given a companys risk profile.
Under the market approach, the fair value is derived from multiples which are (i) based upon operating data of similar guideline companies, (ii) evaluated and adjusted based on the strengths and weaknesses of our company compared to the guideline companies and (iii) applied to our companys operating data to arrive at an indication of value. We also consider prices paid in recent transactions that have occurred in our industry or related industries. In the latter case, valuation multiples based upon actual transactions are used to arrive at an indication of value. Under the market approach, we make certain judgments about the selection of comparable guideline companies, comparable recent company and asset transactions and transaction control premiums. Although we have based the fair value estimate on assumptions we believe to be reasonable, those assumptions are inherently unpredictable and uncertain and actual results could differ from the estimate.
At the time of our year-end interim test, the fair value of each of our reporting units was determined to be in excess of its carrying value by a minimum of 20 percent. Although no impairment of goodwill was indicated during our annual or our year-end interim testing, we continually monitor and evaluate the currently adverse business and competitive conditions that affect our operations for indicators of potential impairment. As these adverse circumstances indicating potential impairment have not subsided, we continued to perform quarterly interim impairment testing in 2012.
During the first two months of 2012, outflows from domestic equity funds moderated significantly, averaging less than $2 billion per month before spiking to nearly $12 billion in March. This moderation followed outflows averaging $20 billion per month in the last six months of 2011. These somewhat mixed indications caused us to adjust our March 31 cash flow and earnings forecasts below the levels projected during our 2011 year-end impairment testing. These downwardly revised forecasts as well as current market data formed the basis upon which we performed our goodwill impairment testing at March 31. Based upon our quantitative and qualitative assessments, we concluded that none of the goodwill allocated to any of our reporting units was impaired at that time.
In the second quarter, industry conditions deteriorated further. Outflows from domestic equity funds re-accelerated while trading activity in major global equity markets fell further below prior year levels, driving our revenues below the levels projected in our March 31 forecast. More significantly, the challenges previously experienced in our U.S. brokerage environment spread to our European and Asia Pacific businesses during the quarter, both of which reported second quarter revenues which were significantly below first quarter levels. These developments cast a decidedly more uncertain outlook on our near term business fundamentals as well as the length and severity of the decline in global institutional equity market activity. Consequently, we downwardly revised our earnings and cash flow forecasts to reflect our adjusted expectations for a significantly slower and more prolonged earnings recovery in our global businesses and reduced the multiple used in our market approach to reflect the decline in industry market multiples. Although the revised forecasts continued to result in a fair value for our Canadian reporting unit that was well above its carrying value (which does not include goodwill), the fair values for our U.S., European and Asia Pacific reporting units were determined to be below their carrying values, indicating a potential impairment of the goodwill held in these units and requiring us to proceed to step two impairment testing. Our step two valuation test yielded aggregate fair values for the tangible and (non-goodwill) intangible assets in our U.S., European and Asia Pacific reporting units above their aggregate carrying values, which reduced the amount of the implied fair value attributable to goodwill. As a result, goodwill in each of these reporting units was determined to be fully impaired requiring us to record a total goodwill impairment charge of $274.3 million.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
Please see our Annual Report on Form 10-K (Item 7A) for the year ended December 31, 2011. There has been no material change in this information.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, have concluded that, based on such evaluation, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective in reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
b) Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation of such internal control that occurred during the Companys latest fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
We are not a party to any pending legal proceedings other than claims and lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. In addition, our broker-dealers are regularly involved in reviews, inquiries, examinations, investigations and proceedings by government agencies and self-regulatory organizations regarding our business, which may result in judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, injunctions or other relief. Although there can be no assurances, at this time the Company believes, based on information currently available, that the outcome of any such proceeding, review, inquiry, examination and investigation will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
There has been no significant change to the risks or uncertainties that may affect our results of operations since December 31, 2011. Please see Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
The following table sets forth our stock repurchase activity during the first six months of 2012, including the total number of shares purchased, the average price paid per share, the number of shares repurchased as part of a publicly announced plan or program, and the number of shares yet to be purchased under the plan or program.

(a) This column includes the acquisition of 202,052 common shares from employees in order to satisfy minimum statutory withholding tax requirements upon net settlement of restricted share awards.
In October 2011, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of 4.0 million shares. This authorization has no expiration date.
During the first half of 2012, we repurchased approximately 1.5 million shares of our common stock at a cost of approximately $15.5 million, which was funded from our available cash resources. Of these shares, 1.3 million were purchased under our Board of Directors authorization for a total cost of $13.2 million (average cost of $10.38 per share). An additional 202,052 shares repurchased ($2.3 million) pertained solely to the satisfaction of minimum statutory withholding tax upon the net settlement of equity awards. As of June 30, 2012, the total remaining number of shares currently available for repurchase under ITGs stock repurchase program was 2.7 million. The specific timing and amount of repurchases will vary based on market conditions and other factors.
We have not paid a cash dividend to stockholders during any period of time covered by this report. Our policy is to retain earnings to finance the operations and expansion of our businesses and to return capital to stockholders through repurchases. As a result, we currently have no intention of paying cash dividends on common stock.
