Item 2.02.  Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On March 3, 2005,  NYFIX,  Inc. (the  "Company")  announced that it will restate
financial  results and expects to seek an  extension  for the filing of its 2004
Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The text of the press release issued by the Company
is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 4.02.  Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial  Statements or a Related
            Audit Report or Completed Interim Review

On March 3, 2005, NYFIX,  Inc.  announced that it will restate financial results
and expects to seek an  extension  for the filing of its 2004  Annual  Report on
Form 10-K.  The text of the press release  issued by the Company is furnished as
Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Following  discussions between the Company's Audit Committee and its independent
registered  public  accounting  firm,  Deloitte  &  Touche LLP,  the Company
concluded on February 28, 2005, that a restatement of prior financial results is
required.  The  Company  is  reviewing  its  accounting  for  stock  options  in
connection  with a previously  disclosed  stock option inquiry by the Securities
and Exchange  Commission  and has concluded  that it  incorrectly  accounted for
certain previously issued stock option grants.

In addition,  the Company has determined that the non-cash  valuation  allowance
for deferred tax assets  established  at September  30, 2004 was  overstated  by
approximately  $3.0 million,  which had the effect of  overstating  the net loss
reported for the three and nine months ended  September 30, 2004 by this amount.
This was primarily a result of the existence of previously  unrecorded  deferred
tax liabilities  related to the Company's 2002 and 2004  acquisitions of Javelin
Technologies,  Inc. and EuroLink Network, Inc, respectively. The Company has not
yet  determined  the full extent of the stock  option  adjustments  that will be
necessary,  but anticipates that any deferred tax asset resulting therefrom will
significantly  offset the previously  unrecorded  deferred tax liabilities noted
above.
