PRELIMINARY NOTES
 
When we use the terms “NYFIX”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our”, we mean NYFIX, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
 
Forward Looking Statements
 
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue,” and the negative of these terms and other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements, which are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us, may include projections of our future financial performance based on our growth strategies and anticipated trends in our business. These statements are only predictions based on our current expectations and projections about future events. There are important factors that could cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from the results, level of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. In particular, you should consider the numerous risks and uncertainties described under Part I Item 1A. - Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 (“2007 Form 10-K”).
 
These risks and uncertainties are not exhaustive. Other sections of the 2007 Form 10-K and of this report describe additional factors that could adversely impact our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all risks and uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
 
Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as guarantees of future events. We disclaim any duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the filing of this report to conform our prior statements to actual results or revised expectations and we do not intend to do so, and these forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the filing of this report.
 
Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:

 
·
the impact of recording a significant impairment charge relating to goodwill due to the fact that we have not been profitable;
 
·
the effects of current, pending and future legislation;
 
·
the impact of regulation and regulatory actions;
 
·
our ability to achieve and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules promulgated under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”);
 
·
the impact of accounting for stock-based compensation and ongoing regulatory investigations, including the possibility of new and significant information subsequently arising which could lead to different determinations and require different accounting treatment;
 
·
actions and initiatives by both current and future competitors;
 
·
our ability to accommodate increased levels of trading activity and keep current with market data requirements;
 
·
our business’ possible or assumed future results of operations and cash flows;
 
·
our business’ competitive position;
 
·
potential growth opportunities available to our business;
 
·
the likelihood of success and impact of litigation;
 
·
our expectation with respect to securities markets and general economic conditions; and
 
·
our ability to keep up with rapid technological change.
 
We expressly qualify in their entirety all forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments necessary for adoption of new accounting standards) necessary to present fairly the results of the interim periods shown. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. Management believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2007 Form 10-K.
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NYFIX, Inc. and its majority-owned and wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Significant Accounting Policies
 
There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during 2008, as compared to what was previously disclosed in the 2007 Form 10-K.
 
2. Equity Incentive Plans
 
 The Company has stock-based incentive plans under which time-based and performance-based stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) have been granted to employees and non-employee members of the Board of Directors. Generally, these options and RSUs vest over a period of four years and are forfeited, except in certain circumstances, in the event the employee or director terminates his or her employment or relationship with the Company. Stock options expire in ten years. 
 
The fair value of options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model which considers, among other factors, the expected life of the award and the expected volatility of the Company’s stock price. Although the Black-Scholes model meets the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, Share-Based Payment, the fair values generated by the model may not be indicative of the actual fair values of the Company’s awards, as it does not consider other factors important to those stock-based compensation awards, such as continued employment, periodic vesting requirements, and limited transferability.

In addition, during 2007, 350,000 performance-based RSUs were granted. Performance-based stock options and performance-based RSUs are eligible to be earned (in amounts ranging from 0% to 100% of the award) in equal pro rata installments over four one-year performance periods based on the achievement of annual goals for revenue and operating earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Any portion of RSUs not earned in years one through three is eligible to be earned in year four based on the achievement of goals in year four. The 2007 goals were not met and no performance-based RSUs were earned in 2007.
 
During 2008, no additional performance-based RSUs have been granted.
 
Stock-based Compensation Expense
 
Stock-based compensation expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 was approximately $2.0 million and $4.8 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 stock-based compensation expense, including the portion recorded in SEC investigation, restatement and related expenses, was approximately $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively.
 
As of June 30, 2008, there were $17.2 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to outstanding awards. The Company expects to recognize these costs over a weighted average period of 1.5 years.
 
3. Acquisitions and Dispositions
 
Acquisition of FIXCITY, Ltd.
 
On April 4, 2008, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of FIXCITY, Ltd. (“FIXCITY”), a U.K.-based specialist in web-based electronic trading and liquidity discovery solutions. This acquisition reflects the Company’s strategy to aggregate liquidity for clients and to provide real-time information to make trading decisions. This acquisition also enhances the Company’s strategy of global expansion by adding significantly to its international client base. The Company has included the operating results of FIXCITY in its consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the share purchase agreement, the Company paid £3.3 million (or approximately $6.6 million) in cash and also agreed to pay an additional $1.0 million in cash contingent on the successful completion of the integration of the existing FIXCITY and NYFIX technology platforms within six months of the closing date. The Company incurred $0.7 million in legal and consulting fees related to this acquisition.
 
In addition, the share purchase agreement provides the potential for cash earn-out payments in years 1, 2 and 3 following the acquisition totaling up to £3.7 million (or approximately $7.4 million) if certain revenue targets are achieved, with potential additional payments based on varying percentages of all such revenue if higher level target thresholds are achieved.

Sale of NYFIX Overseas, Inc.
 
In August 2006, the Company disposed of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of NYFIX Overseas, Inc. (“NYFIX Overseas”) a former wholly-owned subsidiary which previously comprised the Company’s Order Book Management Systems (“OBMS”) Division to G.L. Trade S.A. (“GL”). In June 2008, the Company received payment of $2.1 million from GL in full settlement of the earn-out payment, net of amounts paid to the NYFIX Overseas management team. This earn-out was recognized in results of operations during the fourth quarter of 2007.

Regulatory Net Capital Requirements
 
U.S. registered broker-dealer subsidiaries - NYFIX Securities Corporation (“NYFIX Securities”) and NYFIX Millennium, L.L.C. (“NYFIX Millennium”) are subject to the SEC’s Uniform Net Capital Rule (15c3-1), which requires the maintenance of minimum regulatory net capital. NYFIX Securities has elected to use the alternative method, as permitted by the rule, which requires the maintenance of minimum regulatory capital (as defined in the rule) equal to the greater of $250,000 or 2% of aggregate debit items arising from customer transactions (as defined in the rule). NYFIX Securities’ membership in the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (the “DTCC”) requires it to maintain excess regulatory net capital of $10.0 million. NYFIX Millennium has elected to use the aggregate indebtedness standard method, which requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to regulatory net capital (both as defined in the rule) shall not exceed 15 to 1. The regulatory net capital ratio for NYFIX Millennium at June 30, 2008 was 1.05 to 1.
 
U.K. registered subsidiaries - NYFIX International, Ltd. (“NYFIX International”) and FIXCITY are registered firms of the Financial Services Authority (“FSA”) in the United Kingdom. NYFIX International and FIXCITY are required to maintain the greater of the base capital resources requirement of €730,000 and 50,000, respectively, or the variable capital resources requirement, which is made up of credit risk, market risk and fixed overhead (equal to three months average expenditures) requirements.
 
At June 30, 2008, the aggregate regulatory net capital/resources of the Company’s regulated subsidiaries in the United States and United Kingdom were $34.7 million, an excess of $22.3 million over the Company’s aggregate requirement of $12.4 million (including the $10 million excess required by DTCC described above).

7. Restructuring Charges
 
During October 2007, the Company entered into a strategic agreement with Citi’s Lava Trading (“Lava”) to offer NYFIX Fusion OMS clients a transition arrangement to the Lava ColorPalette® OMS in connection with the decision to discontinue the Fusion OMS product. As part of this discontinuation, the Company offered one-time termination benefits to affected employees. The Company recorded a restructuring charge of $0.3 million and $0.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, which consisted of severance and retention costs. The Company has substantially completed the transition to Lava and does not expect to incur any additional costs.
 
In March 2008, the Company terminated its lease and corresponding sublease of office space previously occupied in Stamford, CT for the payment of a $0.5 million lease termination fee. As a result, the Company reversed $0.5 million of previously recorded restructuring costs in the first quarter of 2008.
 
The liabilities related to the restructuring charges are included in the current portion of other long-term liabilities and other long-term liabilities. The following table summarizes the activity in the liabilities related to the restructuring charges for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

8. Income Taxes
 
The income tax provision differs from the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate due primarily to a valuation allowance provided against net deferred tax assets. As described in the Company’s 2007 Form 10-K, the Company maintains a valuation allowance in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, on its net deferred tax assets. This allowance excludes the potential off-setting impact of the deferred tax liability for amortization of goodwill related to the acquisition of NYFIX Millennium and previously Renaissance Trading Technologies, LLC (“Renaissance”) due to the indefinite life of goodwill. Until the Company achieves and sustains profitability, it plans to maintain a valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets.

10. Business Segment Information
 
In accordance with SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information ("SFAS 131"), the Company is reporting certain information relating to its operating segments. The Company’s segments are organized into three operating divisions through which the Company’s chief operating decision makers manage the Company’s business. These divisions, as described in more detail below, are organized around the products and services provided to customers and represent the Company’s reportable segments under SFAS 131.
 
FIX Division. The FIX Division provides messaging channels for institutions that are members of its trading community for order routing and other value-added services. The FIX Division also provides software and consultative services to enable global financial institutions to utilize the industry established Financial Information Exchange Protocol for messaging, monitoring and processing transaction information. The operating results of FIXCITY have been included in the FIX Division since April 4, 2008, the date of acquisition.
 
Transaction Services Division. The Transaction Services Division is currently comprised of the two U.S. registered broker-dealer subsidiaries, NYFIX Millennium and NYFIX Securities, together with the execution business of NYFIX International in the U.K. NYFIX Millennium, an alternative trading system (“ATS”) registered under SEC Regulation ATS, provides anonymous matching and routing of U.S. equity securities. NYFIX Securities provides direct electronic market access and algorithmic trading products, operates a matched-book stock borrow/stock loan business and clears trades on behalf of itself and NYFIX Millennium. NYFIX Millennium and NYFIX Securities also resell certain products and services offered by the FIX Division and the OMS Division. In the second quarter of 2007 the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new initiative, Euro Millennium, a multilateral trading facility for non-displayed liquidity in pan-European listed cash equities housed within NYFIX International. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company incurred costs of $2.5 million and $4.7 million, respectively, related to this initiative. The Company incurred $0.6 million of these costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007. Euro Millennium was launched in March 2008 for matching U.K. listed cash equities and was expanded during August 2008 to match cash equities in other markets. Significant work remains to connect new clients and to enhance the electronic trading capabilities of existing clients to take full advantage of this platform. As a result, no material revenues have been generated from this initiative and the Company has included these costs in Corporate & Other in the segment information reported below.
 
Order Management Systems Division. The OMS Division provides software applications for the management of New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and Nasdaq listed trading activities. These products enable customers to take advantage of the broad range of products and services offered by other divisions. The Company does not allocate to the OMS Division any introductory revenue for business generated by the FIX Division and the Transaction Services Division from OMS Division clients. The OMS Division includes revenues and expenses related to the discontinued Fusion OMS product. The operating loss for the OMS Division during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 includes severance related restructuring charges associated with discontinuing the Fusion OMS product of $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively as well as additional operating losses of $0.5 million and $0.8 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, associated with supporting the Fusion OMS product during this wind-down phase.
 
The Company does not currently break out total assets by reportable segment as there is a high level of shared utilization between certain reportable segments.

(1) Corporate & Other includes SEC investigation, restatement and related expenses, corporate restructuring costs/reversals, Euro Millenium costs, certain transitional costs and other corporate items which are not allocated to reportable segments.
 
(2) Operating income (loss) by segment reflects a significant amount of costs which are allocated by headcount, usage and other methods, depending on the nature of the cost. The amount of costs allocated to the Transaction Division has increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 by $1.7 million and $4.4 million, respectively, primarily due to reduced allocations to the OMS Division following the decision to discontinue the Fusion OMS product.
 
11. Commitments and Contingencies
 
Stock-based Compensation Related Matters
 
SEC Investigation
 
On October 28, 2004, the Company received a request from the SEC relating to its historical stock option granting practices and related matters. On February 15, 2005, the SEC obtained a formal order of investigation, and in April 2005 issued a subpoena to the Company. In March and April 2005, the SEC issued subpoenas to a current director and to former officers and directors. The SEC has taken testimony from one current director, at least three former directors and at least one of the Company’s former employees, as well as from third parties, including the Company’s former independent registered public accounting firm. The SEC has also issued subpoenas to at least two current and former directors from whom it has not asked for testimony. The Company believes that it has cooperated fully with the SEC with respect to the investigation, which is still pending as of June 30, 2008.
 
Grand Jury Subpoena
 
In May 2006, the Company received a grand jury subpoena from the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York.  The subpoena sought documents relating to the Company’s granting of stock options.  With the agreement of the Assistant U.S. Attorney handling the case, the Company has responded to the subpoena by producing the documents it produced to the staff of the Division of Enforcement of the SEC. The U.S. Attorney has also conducted interviews with at least one current employee and two former employees (one of whom is a former officer) and with at least one employee of the Company’s former independent registered public accounting firm. This matter is still pending as of June 30, 2008.

Shareholder Derivative Actions
 
The Company is named as a nominal defendant in two shareholder derivative actions, one pending in Connecticut Superior Court (the "Consolidated State Suit") and one pending in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut (the "Consolidated Federal Suit"). These actions also name as defendants a number of the Company’s former officers and directors, including the Company’s former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, another former Chief Executive Officer and director, the Company’s former Chief Information Officer, two former Chief Financial Officers, the Company’s former General Counsel and the Company’s former Executive Vice President and President of NYFIX Millennium. These actions demand unspecified money damages, ask for an accounting and seek rescission of alleged misdated options based on, among other things, alleged breaches of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment and breach of contract. Defendants filed motions to dismiss both of these matters.   In July 2008, the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut dismissed the Consolidated Federal Suit and entered judgment in favor of the Company and the individual defendants. It is unknown whether the plaintiffs will appeal this ruling, and the final outcome of the matter cannot be predicted at this time. Neither the date of the Connecticut Superior Court's ruling on the motion to dismiss the Consolidated State Suit nor the outcome of that suit can be predicted at this time. 
 
Tax Matters
 
In 2007 and 2008, the Company has had communications with the U.K. HM Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) relating to historical stock option exercises. Subsequent to the sale of NYFIX Overseas in August 2006, G.L. forwarded correspondence from the HMRC relating to NYFIX Overseas’ potential liability for payroll tax withholdings on prior option exercises by certain former employees.
 
As of June 30, 2008, the Company recorded a liability of $1.9 million for potential amounts due in the United Kingdom related to stock option exercises under Pay As You Earn, or PAYE, and National Insurance Contribution provisions (due to the Company’s indemnity obligations to GL).
 
Based upon the current information available and the liabilities recognized, the Company believes the resolution of this tax matter will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations. However, the ongoing discussions with the taxing authorities could result in new information and higher than anticipated exposures. The Company is continuing to cooperate with the taxing authorities to resolve these matters.
 
Other
 
During the normal course of business, the Company becomes involved in various other routine legal proceedings, including issues pertaining to patent infringement, customer disputes and employee matters. The Company does not believe that the outcome of these matters will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition.
 
As noted separately in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, the Company incurred $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, relating to the stock option investigation and subpoenas, the grand jury subpoena, related shareholder derivative litigation and the pursuit of insurance recoveries. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, these costs were $1.4 million and $5.0 million, respectively, which also included costs for related financial restatements and for settling expired options. These costs included outside counsel and auditors, contract attorneys and forensic accountants and other consultants. These costs do not include any portion of time that the Company’s employees dedicated to these matters. The Company will continue to incur expenses associated with these matters until such time as they are resolved.
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company received an aggregate of $10 million in advances from two of its carriers for Directors and Officers insurance for fees incurred in defense of the SEC investigation into the Company’s historical stock option activity, as well as related litigation expenses. This $10 million amount reflects the respective individual limits of the carriers under the Company’s policies. As these amounts can be recovered by the carriers in certain circumstances, the Company has deferred recognition of these proceeds in its operating results until further progress is made in resolving these contingencies. The Company is also pursuing reimbursement for additional amounts from a third carrier under a policy with a limit of $5.0 million.
 
Other than the amount described above for employee-related taxes for stock options, the Company, in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies (“SFAS 5”), has not recorded any liability with respect to these matters as it is currently unable to predict the outcomes and reasonably estimate the amounts of loss, if any. With respect to the SEC investigation of stock option grants, the grand jury subpoena, the State Court Consolidated Complaint, and the Federal Court Consolidated Complaint associated with such matters and other related matters, the Company could be subject to penalties, fines or regulatory sanctions or claims by current and former officers, directors or employees for indemnification of costs or losses they may incur and such amounts, individually or collectively, could have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition. In addition, other actions may be brought against the Company related to the matters described above.

12. Stockholders’ Equity
 
Preferred Stock
 
The Company is authorized to issue 5 million shares of preferred stock. In connection with the private placement of convertible preferred stock discussed below, 1.5 million shares were designated as Series B Voting Convertible Preferred Stock and 0.5 million as Series C Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock.
At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had outstanding 1.5 million shares of Series B Preferred Stock. Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock are payable semiannually in shares of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares issuable in payment of dividends is determined at an annual rate of 7% of the $75 million purchase price (or $50 per share), divided by the conversion price then in effect (currently $5.00). Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock are cumulative and all accumulated but unpaid dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock must be paid before any cash dividends may be paid to holders of common stock.
 
Common Stock and Treasury Stock
 
At December 31, 2007, the Company had outstanding 36,818,932 shares of common stock, with 906,826 held in treasury.
 
On December 11, 2007, the Board of Directors declared a dividend, payable January 2, 2008, to holders of Series B Preferred Stock in payment of dividends accumulated through December 31, 2007. As a result, the Company issued 525,000 shares of common stock, with a fair value of approximately $2,441,000 based on the market price of its common stock on the declaration date.
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2008, restricted stock units totaling 178,596 shares vested and were settled in shares.
 
On March 29, 2008, restrictions on 48,169 shares of common stock issued to an officer in satisfaction of his employment agreement on March 31, 2007 expired. The fair value of such shares has been charged to stock based compensation over the requisite service period. Since these shares were issued from treasury, the excess of the average cost of these shares over the fair value of these shares on the grant date was charged to retained earnings at the conclusion of the requisite service period. Shares totaling 16,282 were issued back to the Company to settle employee tax liabilities as a result of this transaction, and these shares were returned to treasury.
 
On June 17, 2008, the Board of Directors declared a dividend, payable June 30, 2008, to holders of Series B Preferred Stock in payment of dividends accumulated from January 1, 2008 through June 30, 2008; as a result, the Company issued 525,000 shares of common stock, with a fair value of approximately $1,969,000 based on the market price of its common stock on the declaration date. These accumulated dividends were reflected as a charge to loss applicable to common stockholders in calculating the basic and diluted loss per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
 
As a result of the foregoing activity, at June 30, 2008, the Company had outstanding 38,031,246 shares of common stock, with 923,108 held in treasury.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
The following discussion should be read together with the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto.
 
Overview
 
We are a pioneer in electronic trading solutions.  The NYFIX MarketplaceTM is a global community of trading counterparties utilizing innovative services that optimize the business of trading, including trading workstations, middle office trade automation technologies and trade messaging services.  NYFIX Millennium provides the NYFIX MarketplaceTM with enhanced methods of accessing liquidity.  We also provide value-added informational and analytic services and tools for measuring execution quality.  As a trusted business partner and service provider to investment managers, mutual fund, pension fund and hedge fund managers (the “Buy-Side”) and brokerage firms and banks (the “Sell-Side”), NYFIX enables low touch, low impact market access and transaction processing.
 
We operate businesses that design, produce and sell technology-based products and services to professional financial services organizations that are engaged in trading activities including traditional asset management (including the trading of those assets), proprietary trading, and/or the handling of client orders in the U.S. and international securities markets.
 
Many of our products and services utilize the FIX Protocol which is a messaging standard developed specifically for real-time electronic exchange of securities trading information.
 
We believe our innovative NYFIX products and services deliver value-added improvements in speed, quality of execution and cost efficiency by automating both the work flows at the user work station level and the interactive process of transmitting and executing orders between the Buy-Side and the Sell-Side, and through exchanges (e.g., NYSE, American Stock Exchange, Nasdaq and other exchanges), the OTC market, ATSs and electronic communication networks, or ECNs.
 
Sources of Revenue

Our revenues consist of subscription and maintenance fees, transaction fees, and product sales and services revenues. As a percentage of our total revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2008, subscription and maintenance revenues accounted for 58%, transaction revenue accounted for 40%, and product sales and services revenue accounted for 2%.
 
Our subscription and maintenance revenues principally consist of revenues from contracts that provide for the use of our systems and our messaging channels, together with managed services. Subscription and maintenance revenue rates are fixed based on a contractual period of time, typically one to three years. Additional services, provided under schedules, or addenda to the contracts, are either co-terminus with the original contract or have provisions similar to the original contract.  Under the terms of the subscription contracts and addenda, clients are typically invoiced a flat periodic charge after initial installation and acceptance. Subscription and maintenance also includes maintenance contracts for software under separate, renewable maintenance contracts. Software related maintenance contracts are generally for a term of one year. Revenue related to these contracts and addenda is recognized over the term of the contract, addendum, or service period, on a straight-line basis.  We include within our subscription and maintenance revenue amounts we charge for connectivity to the NYFIX trading community. These include the various costs of connecting clients which include telecommunications, installation and maintenance of routers, network management software, and staff, and other costs related to the management of connectivity. The connectivity charges are recognized as the services are provided.
 
Our subscriptions and maintenance revenues are not directly affected by trading volumes, however, trading volumes do affect the revenues of our clients and this could affect their future purchases of our technology and services. Pricing pressures due to competition, failure to sign new agreements with clients because of reductions in their new technology spending, and consolidation in the financial sector could affect our revenues and profitability. Our costs associated with supporting the subscription and maintenance agreements are generally fixed and thus a loss of revenue would impact profitability.
 
Transaction revenue primarily consists of per-share commissions charged to clients who send and receive a match and execution in our NYFIX Millennium ATS and clients to whom we provide execution and smart order routing technology, gateways to access markets and algorithmic trading ability in: (i) their own name, (ii) a third party name, or (iii) our name. Revenue for these services is generally invoiced monthly in arrears or is obtained through the clearing process within three days of the trade date, and is recognized on a trade date basis, in the period in which it is earned. Transaction revenue also includes the net interest spread on our matched book of securities borrowed/loaned.
 
Page 19

 
Because commission revenues are earned on a per-transaction basis, such revenues fluctuate from period to period depending on (i) the volume of securities traded through our services in the U.S. and the U.K. and (ii) our commission rates. Commission revenues are primarily generated by orders delivered to us from direct computer-to-computer links driven by our clients routing technology, our FIXTrader order management system and other vendors’ products, as well as third party order routing networks and phone orders from our customers.
 
We believe that the factors that most influence our transaction volumes are the following:
 
· macro trends in the global equities markets that affect overall institutional equity trading activity;
 
· competitive pressure created by a proliferation of electronic execution competitors;
 
· potential changes in the U.S. market structure;
 
· new regulatory requirements or a failure to comply with existing regulatory requirements;
 
· service quality and availability;
 
· consolidation of broker-dealers or a decline in the number of hedge funds;
 
·  increased client demands for bandwidth and speed, requiring reinvestment in hardware and software; and
 
· commission rates we charge compared to those of our competitors.
 
Product sales and services are primarily comprised of FIX software licenses and professional services fees. This revenue is recognized when the software is delivered and accepted by the client and when other contractual obligations, including installation, if applicable, have been satisfied and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

Cost of Revenue
 
Cost of revenue includes the following:
 
 
·
Data center operating costs, including salaries, related to equipment, infrastructure and software supporting operations and the NYFIX MarketplaceTM;
 
·
Managed connectivity costs, including telecommunication and other costs incurred on behalf of clients, and costs to maintain the data centers, including depreciation and amortization of assets utilized by the data centers, which are recognized as either a cost of subscription and maintenance or cost of transaction revenue, as appropriate;
 
·
Amortization expense of acquired intangible assets and capitalized software costs relating to the applicable revenue category;
 
·
Developer and quality assurance personnel labor for client and product support of software products;
 
·
The cost of leased subscription and service bureau equipment, which is depreciated over the estimated useful life of the equipment; and
 
·
Execution and clearing costs to access various markets and exchanges and to process and settle transactions.
 
Recent Developments
 
FIXCITY Acquisition 
 
On April 4, 2008, we acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of FIXCITY. This acquisition reflects our strategy to aggregate liquidity for clients and to provide real-time information to make trading decisions. This acquisition also enhances our strategy of global expansion by adding significantly to our international client base. We have included the operating results of FIXCITY in our consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition, including revenues of $0.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008.

Pursuant to the terms of the share purchase agreement, we paid £3.3 million (or approximately $6.6 million) in cash and also agreed to pay an additional $1.0 million in cash contingent on the successful completion of the integration of the existing FIXCITY and NYFIX technology platforms within six months of the closing date. We incurred legal and consulting fees related to this acquisition of $0.7 million.
 
Page 20

 
In addition, the share purchase agreement provides the potential for cash earn-out payments in years 1, 2 and 3 following the acquisition totaling up to £3.7 million (or approx. $7.4 million) if certain revenue targets are achieved, with potential additional payments based on varying percentages of all such revenue if higher level target thresholds are achieved.
 
Through June 30, 2008, we have incurred integration related charges of $0.6 million, comprised of a $0.5 million write-off of capitalized software costs, as the technology acquired from FIXCITY replaced certain of our capitalized initiatives, as well as $0.1 million of third-party costs related to the integration of the technology platforms. We expect to incur $0.4 million of additional third-party integration costs during the remainder of 2008.  
 
Acquisition of Minority Interests
 
In October 2007, we acquired the 20% interest in NYFIX Millennium that we did not already own.  The membership interests of the former minority members of NYFIX Millennium were converted into a right to receive an aggregate of $8.0 million. As of June 30, 2008, we have paid a total of $7.8 million of the $8.0 million. We have previously included 100% of the operating results of NYFIX Millennium since inception in our consolidated financial statements.
 
Euro Millennium
 
Since the second quarter of 2007 we have incurred costs for Euro MillenniumTM, a multilateral trading facility for non displayed liquidity in pan-European listed cash equities. Euro MillenniumTM was launched in March 2008 for matching U.K. listed equities and has recently expanded to match listed cash equities in other European markets, including Belgium, France, Germany and the Netherlands. There were no meaningful revenues generated by Euro MillenniumTM during the three months ended June 30, 2008. Due to the fact that significant work remains to connect new clients and to enhance the electronic trading capabilities of existing clients to take full advantage of this platform, we expect losses related to Euro Millennium to continue throughout 2008 with a loss between $2.0 million and $2.5 million expected in third quarter 2008.
 
Discontinuance of the Fusion OMS Business
 
In October 2007, we entered into a strategic arrangement with Lava to offer NYFIX Fusion OMS clients a transition arrangement to the Lava ColorPallette® OMS in connection with our decision to discontinue the Fusion OMS product. Discontinuing the Fusion OMS product will enable us to devote more time and resources to clients of other product offerings. In connection with discontinuing the Fusion OMS product, we offered one-time termination benefits to affected employees. We recorded a restructuring charge of $0.4 million and $0.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, which consisted of retention and severance costs. In addition, we incurred a loss during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 of $0.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively to support the Fusion OMS product during this wind-down phase. We have substantially completed the migration of clients off the Fusion OMS system and do not expect to incur any additional costs related to this product going forward. As compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007, our overall revenues from Fusion OMS clients were down $3.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2008 across all businesses. In addition to generating subscription revenue for the Fusion OMS product, these clients also used our transaction and FIX Marketplace services.
 
SEC Investigation and Related Contingencies
 
There is an ongoing SEC investigation of our historical stock option granting practices, as well as a related grand jury subpoena and related shareholder derivative litigations.
 
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, we incurred expenses of $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, relating to the stock option investigation and subpoenas, a grand jury subpoena, related shareholder derivative litigation and the pursuit of insurance recoveries. These costs are down significantly from the levels incurred in prior years.
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we received an aggregate of $10 million in advances from two of our carriers for Directors and Officers insurance for fees incurred in defense of the SEC investigation into our historical stock option activity, as well as related litigation expenses. This $10 million amount reflects the respective individual limits of the carriers under our policies. As these amounts can be recovered by the carriers in certain circumstances, we have deferred recognition of these proceeds in our operating results until further progress is made in resolving these contingencies. We are also pursuing reimbursement for additional amounts from a third carrier under a policy with a limit of $5.0 million.
 
Results of Operations for the Three and Six Month Periods Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007
 
The following table presents our consolidated results of operations for the periods indicated. These consolidated results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated results of operations that will be achieved in any future period.

Subscription and Maintenance
 
Subscription and maintenance revenue increased during the three months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007, primarily due to an increase in subscriptions (and related managed services) of order routing messaging channels offered by our FIX Division and the impact of the FIXCITY acquisition, offset in part by a decrease in subscriptions (and related managed services) for our OMS Division products. As of June 30, 2008, we had 8,960 billable direct order routing messaging channels in service, an increase of 20% over the 7,484 messaging channels in service at June 30, 2007, and an increase of 3% over the 8,666 messaging channels in service at March 31, 2008. The growth in our messaging channel subscription revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2008 was slowed by a decrease in revenues of $0.4 million attributable to former Fusion OMS clients, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007. FIXCITY, which was acquired in April 2008, contributed $0.7 million in subscription revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2008. The decline in subscriptions (and related managed services) of our OMS Division products of $1.4 million, to $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $2.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2007, was due primarily to the discontinuation of our Fusion OMS product as well as cancellations from other desktop clients. OMS subscription revenue from former Fusion OMS clients decreased by $0.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007. Revenue from recurring maintenance on licensed software was $1.0 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2008 and the three months ended June 30, 2007.
 
Subscription and maintenance revenue increased during the six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007, primarily due to an increase in subscriptions (and related managed services) of order routing messaging channels offered by our FIX Division and the impact of the FIXCITY acquisition, offset in part by a decrease in subscriptions (and related managed services) of our OMS Division products. FIXCITY, which was acquired in April 2008, contributed $0.7 million in subscription revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2008. The growth in our messaging channel subscription and maintenance revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2008 was slowed by a decrease in revenues of $0.7 million attributable to former Fusion OMS clients, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007. The decline in subscriptions (and related managed services) of our OMS Division products of $3.3 million, to $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $6.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007, was due primarily to the discontinuation (during the second quarter of 2007) of certain floor application products, the discontinuation of our Fusion OMS product as well as cancellations from other desktop clients. OMS subscription revenue from former Fusion OMS clients decreased by $1.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007. Revenue from recurring maintenance on licensed software was $1.9 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2008 and the six months ended June 30, 2007.
 
Transaction
 
Transaction revenue decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2008 primarily due to a decrease in commissions on trade executions. Commissions decreased $2.6 million to $10.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $13.2 million during three months ended June 30, 2007, due primarily to a decrease in commissions from Sell-Side clients. The decrease from Sell-Side clients was primarily due to a decrease in the use of the NYFIX NEXASTM algorithmic trading products and a decrease in commissions from direct market access services, offset in part by an increase in commissions from NYFIX Millennium. The decline in revenue from NYFIX NEXASTM and from OTC direct market access was primarily attributable to lower trading volumes from former Fusion OMS clients. Transaction revenue from former Fusion OMS clients decreased $2.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007. The additional decline in revenue for DOT direct market access services (including associated pass-through charges) of $1.8 million was primarily attributable to our decision to improve our margins by eliminating discounts for these services below cost for clients who do not generate valuable pass-through matches in NYFIX Millennium. The average daily matched volume in NYFIX Millennium declined 11.5% to 48.1 million shares during the three months ended June 30, 2008 from 54.4 million shares during the three months ended June 30, 2007. Our securities lending business generated net interest spread on its matched book stock borrow/stock loan portfolio of $0.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $0.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease in net interest was principally due to compressed interest rate spreads.
 
Page 23

 
Transaction revenue increased during the six months ended June 30, 2008 primarily due to an increase in commissions on trade executions. Commissions increased $0.9 million to $23.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $22.7 million during six months ended June 30, 2007, primarily due to a $1.7 million increase in commissions from Buy-Side clients offset by a $0.9 million decrease in commissions from Sell-Side clients. The increase from Buy-Side clients reflected the increased focus on these clients by our expanded sales force, including in the United Kingdom. The decrease from Sell-Side clients was primarily due to a decrease in the use of the NYFIX NEXASTM algorithmic trading products and a decrease in commission from direct market access services, offset in part by an increase in commissions from NYFIX Millennium. The decline in revenue from NYFIX NEXASTM and from OTC direct market access was primarily attributable to lower volumes from former Fusion OMS clients. Transaction revenue from former Fusion OMS clients decreased by $1.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007. The additional decline in revenue for DOT direct market access services (including associated pass-through charges) of $2.2 million was primarily attributable to our decision to improve our margins by eliminating discounts for these services below cost for clients who do not generate valuable pass-through matches in NYFIX Millennium. The average daily matched volume in NYFIX Millennium during the six months ended June 30, 2008 was 48.8 million shares, a 2% increase over the average of 47.9 million shares during the six months ended June 30, 2007. Our securities lending business generated net interest spread on its matched book stock borrow/stock loan portfolio of $0.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $0.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease in net interest was principally due to tighter interest rate spreads.
 
Included in the NYFIX Millennium volume figures reported above are conditional orders executed against pass-through orders and other conditional orders, and third market trades crossed by clients and reported by NYFIX Millennium to Nasdaq.
 
Product Sales and Services
 
Product sales and services revenues decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2008 primarily due to a decrease in sales of software licenses by our FIX Division. License fees for our FIX software products decreased $0.3 million to $0.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $0.4 million for the same period in 2007, due in part to customers subscribing to our FIX software products on a monthly basis instead of purchasing the licenses as a one-time upfront fee. Professional services revenue, which includes FIX training, decreased $0.1 million to $0.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $0.3 million for the same period in 2007.
 
Product sales and services revenues decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2008 primarily as a result of a decrease in sales of software licenses by our FIX Division.

Professional services revenue, including training, decreased by $0.2 million to $0.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $0.6 million for the same period in 2007.

Subscription and Maintenance
 
Subscription and maintenance cost of revenue decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2008 primarily due to lower amortization of capitalized software costs and other intangible assets of $0.4 million, lower allocated labor costs of $0.3 million, a decrease in telecommunication costs of $0.1 million and decreases in various other expenses. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $0.4 million in recurring fees paid to third-party order management system providers for messaging channels with their clients. As a percentage of related revenue, these costs decreased to 45% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to 51% for the three months ended June 30, 2007. 
 
Subscription and maintenance cost of revenue decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2008 primarily due to lower amortization of capitalized software costs and intangible assets of $0.9 million, lower allocated labor costs of $0.6 million and a decrease in telecommunication costs of $0.4 million. These decreases were offset in part by an increase of $0.5 million in recurring fees paid to third-party order management system providers for messaging channels with their clients. As a percentage of related revenue, these costs decreased to 44% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to 50% for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
 
Transaction
 
Transaction cost of revenue decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2008 primarily due to lower execution and clearing fees of $3.7 million, offset in part by increases in the following expenses: allocated data center costs of $0.3 million, allocated labor costs of $0.3 million, depreciation costs of $0.3 million, and market data fees of $0.1 million. The decrease in execution and clearing fees was primarily attributable to the reduced transaction revenue described above and a change in the revenue mix to higher margin services. Execution fees during the three months ended June 30, 2007 also included linkage fees from the NYSE to route orders to other market centers of $2.3 million, $1.6 million of which we were not able to pass through to our DOT direct market access clients due to difficulties in capturing trade information. As a percentage of related revenue, these costs decreased to 52% for the three months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to 61% for the three months ended June 30, 2007.

The decrease in execution and clearing fees was primarily due to a change in the revenue mix to higher margin services and a rebate received during the first quarter of $0.5 million on clearing services used. Execution fees during the three months ended June 30, 2007 also included linkage fees from the NYSE to route orders to other market centers of $3.2 million, $1.9 million of which we were not able to pass through to our DOT direct market access clients due to difficulties in capturing trade information.

Product Sales and Services
 
Product sales and services cost of revenues decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2008 due to lower intangible asset amortization of $0.1 million as a result of certain intangible assets becoming fully amortized in the second quarter of 2007. As a percentage of related revenue these costs were comparable at 31% and 30% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Due to the fact that we have completed our restatement and relisting initiatives, as well as our transitional programs, we have increased our focus on improving our margins and are more actively managing our cost structure. We realized significant achievements in these efforts during the first six months of 2008. Excluding stock-based compensation, Euro Millennium and transitional costs, SG&A for the first half of 2008 decreased by 14% over the second half of 2007 due primarily to reduced costs for outside professionals (e.g. legal and accounting), consultants and various other expenses, offset in part by termination costs incurred in June 2008 associated with our reduction in headcount.
 
Compensation and Related
 
The increase in the portion of recurring compensation and related costs included in SG&A for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 was primarily due to $0.9 million of termination costs associated with the approximate 10% reduction of our staff of employees and consultants in June 2008, as well as increases in other employment costs. We expect our headcount reduction initiative to reduce expenses by more than $5 million on an annualized basis.
 
Occupancy and Related
 
The increase in occupancy and related costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 was primarily due to additional rent expense associated with expanding our office space in both our New York and London locations.
 
Marketing, Travel and Entertainment
 
The decrease in marketing, travel and entertainment expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2008 primarily reflects a decrease in travel and entertainment costs as a result of the timing of sponsored events and a reduction in general corporate travel.
 
The increase in marketing, travel and entertainment expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2008 primarily reflected increased employee travel related costs incurred in the first quarter to support our European expansion efforts.
 
Marketing expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 were comparable to the same periods in 2007.
 
Professional Fees (including consulting)
 
The decrease in professional fees incurred for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, was primarily due to decreases in legal and accounting fees and consulting fees. Consulting fees decreased $1.2 million and $1.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. Legal and accounting fees decreased $1.0 million and $1.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. Consulting fees included in this category do not include the time spent by outside consultants and advisors on the SEC investigation, restatements and related issues as such costs have been separately categorized below.
 
Page 26

 
General and Other
 
The decrease in general and other expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the same period of 2007, was primarily due to decreases in recruiting and temporary administrative help, partially offset by higher software maintenance for our internal systems.
 
Stock-based Compensation
 
The increase in stock-based compensation included in SG&A for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 was primarily due to significant grants of stock options and restricted stock units during the fourth quarter of 2007 and first half of 2008, following the adoption of the 2007 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan. These grants were intended to be an up-front, multi-year program to assist in retention and to further promote alignment of the interests of our employees with those of our stockholders. Stock-compensation expense (including the amount recorded in cost of revenue) is expected to be approximately $2.0 million per quarter for the remainder of 2008. This amount may vary, however, depending on additional grants or cancellations and whether performance awards actually vest.
 
Transitional Rebuilding and Remediation Costs
 
Transitional rebuilding and remediation costs reflect the impact of a company-wide, Board-approved effort in 2007, following the $75 million preferred stock investment by Warburg Pincus, to remediate deficiencies involving critical operational systems and processes, including technology infrastructure and management information systems. As a result of this effort, during 2007, we remediated our lab environment, data replication and back-up, network monitoring, application security and we enabled more timely and detailed internal and external financial reporting. These efforts also addressed certain historical administrative issues such as reorganizing certain subsidiaries and initiating new compensation programs which were rolled out in October 2007. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, we incurred $0.1 million and $0.2 million of such costs, respectively. We do not expect to incur any additional costs due to the fact that we have completed our last project under this program.
 
Transitional Employment Costs
 
Transitional employment costs reflect our efforts to build critical teams, retain key employees, and remediate certain skill gaps. These transitional costs, primarily consisting of sign-on bonuses, retention bonuses and severance and other termination benefits were expensed over the required service period. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, we incurred $0.1 million and $0.2 million of such costs, respectively. We do not expect to incur any additional costs due to the fact that the program expired at the end of the second quarter of 2008.
 
Euro Millennium Costs 
 
Since second quarter 2007, we have incurred costs for Euro Millennium, a neutral dark pool of liquidity for pan-European listed cash equities. These costs include compensation and related costs, consulting, marketing and travel related costs. There were no meaningful revenues generated by Euro Millennium TM during the three months ended June 30, 2008. Due to the fact that significant work remains to connect new clients and to enhance the electronic trading capabilities of existing clients to take full advantage of this platform, we expect losses related to Euro Millennium to continue throughout 2008 with a loss between $2.0 million and $2.5 million expected in third quarter 2008. Once this initiative exits its initial phase and to the extent that Euro Millennium generates consistent revenues, we will include the specific costs associated with Euro Millennium in transaction cost of revenue and the various SG&A categories detailed above.

Integration Charges
 
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, we incurred integration charges related to the acquisition of FIXCITY in April 2008. These costs included $0.5 million of non-cash valuation adjustments to capitalized software replaced by acquired technology and $0.1 million of third party consulting costs to integrate the acquired technology platform. We expect to incur $0.4 million of additional third-party integration costs during the remainder of 2008.   
 
Depreciation and Amortization
 
The increase in the portion of depreciation and amortization included in SG&A for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 was due to increased general overhead capital expenditures during 2007.
 
Restructuring Charge
 
The restructuring charge for the three months ended June 30, 2008 reflects employment costs of $0.4 million related to the discontinuance of our Fusion OMS product and the continuing transition of our clients to other platforms.
 
The restructuring charge for the six months ended June 30, 2008 reflects employment costs of $0.7 million related to the discontinuance of our Fusion OMS product, offset by a $0.5 million reversal of amounts previously recorded as restructuring costs as a result of the termination of our lease and corresponding sublease of office space previously occupied in Stamford.
 
We have substantially completed the migration of clients off of the Fusion OMS system and do not expect to incur any additional restructuring charge related to this product going forward.
 
SEC Investigation, Restatement and Related Expenses
 
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, we incurred costs relating to the stock option investigation and subpoenas, a grand jury subpoena related to our stock option grants, related shareholder derivative litigation and the pursuit of insurance recoveries. The costs incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 also included costs for related financial restatements and for settling expired options. These costs include outside counsels and auditors, contract attorneys, forensic accountants and other consultants. These costs do not include any portion of time that our employees have dedicated to these matters. We will continue to incur expenses associated with these matters until they are resolved. The amount of such expenses will likely vary and may be material.
 
The decrease in these costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 reflects the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 in March of 2007 following the restatement of our consolidated financial statements as a result of the SEC investigation into prior stock option grants and related restatements.
 
During the six month period ended June 30, 2008, we received an aggregate of $10 million in advances from two of our carriers for Directors and Officers insurance for fees incurred in defense of the SEC investigation into our historical stock option activity, as well as related litigation expenses. This $10 million amount reflects the respective individual limits of the carriers under our policies. As these amounts can be recovered by the carriers in certain circumstances, we have deferred recognition of these proceeds in our operating results until further progress is made in resolving these contingencies. We are also pursuing reimbursement for additional amounts from a third carrier under a policy with a limit of $5.0 million.

Interest Expense 
 
The increase in interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 was primarily attributable to additional interest incurred on the additional $2.5 million convertible note issued in October 2007.
 
Page 28

 
Investment Income
 
The decrease in investment income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 reflected lower average cash balances invested and lower interest rates during the period.
 
Income Tax Provision
 
The income tax provisions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 were solely attributable to the impact of deducting goodwill related to the NYFIX Millennium acquisition in our tax filings. The income tax provisions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 were solely attributable to the impact of deducting goodwill related to the Renaissance acquisition in our tax filings. All other tax effects during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 have been netted out in our deferred tax asset valuation reflecting our view that historical pre-tax book income and historical income for tax purposes are not sufficient to support a conclusion that the value of our net deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized. Until we achieve and sustain profitability, we plan to maintain a valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
We derive our liquidity and capital resources primarily from issuances of stock and from long-term borrowings. At June 30, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of $52.2 million, a reduction from our balance at December 31, 2007, principally due to the timing of accrued employee compensation payments for 2007, including annual incentive and retention related bonuses, commissions, severance and employee benefit obligations, payments to the former minority owners of NYFIX Millennium to acquire their interests, as well as payment for the acquisition of FIXCITY. We believe resources available at June 30, 2008 will be sufficient to finance our current investing and operating needs as well as the net capital requirements of our broker-dealer subsidiaries for at least the next twelve months. To the extent that we choose to pursue a strategic acquisition, we may need to raise additional outside funding, including through issuing additional equity which could dilute existing stockholders. At June 30, 2008, $39.4 million of our total cash and cash equivalents were held in our broker-dealer subsidiaries, which resulted in our excess regulatory capital, as detailed below.

Changes in working capital and other operating accounts affected cash flows during the six months ended June 30, 2008 primarily as a result of a decrease in the level of accounts payable and accrued expenses between periods, primarily from the net effect of the timing of accrued employee compensation payments for 2007 including annual incentive and retention related bonuses, commissions, severance and employee benefit obligations, and the receipt of deferred insurance proceeds, as well as increases in net clearing assets due the growth of our business and the timing of settlement obligations.
 
Page 29

 
Broker-Dealer Operations
 
Clearing assets reflect amounts on hand to support our ability to settle the transactions of NYFIX Millennium, NYFIX Securities and NYFIX International, such as receivables from clearing organizations and firms and deposits with clearing organizations and firms, as well as balances to support our matched-book stock borrow/stock loan business. Our matched-book balances include offsetting stock borrowed and stock loaned and securities failed-to-deliver and securities failed-to-receive. At June 30, 2008, the net balance for clearing assets and clearing liabilities was a net receivable of $5.4 million.
 
Securities borrowed and securities loaned are recorded at the amount of cash collateral provided for securities borrowed transactions and received for securities loaned transactions, plus accrued interest. We monitor the market value of securities borrowed and loaned on a daily basis with additional collateral obtained or refunded as necessary. At June 30, 2008, clearing assets include stock borrows of $530.2 million and clearing liabilities include stock loans of $529.8 million.
 
NYFIX Millennium and NYFIX Securities are U.S. registered broker-dealers required to maintain levels of regulatory net capital under Rule 15c3-1 of the Exchange Act. NYFIX Securities’ DTCC membership, used to self-clear securities transactions, requires it to maintain $10 million in excess of its required net capital. NYFIX International and FIXCITY are registered firms with the FSA, required to maintain the greater of the base capital resources requirement of €730,000 and 50,000, respectively, or the variable capital resources requirement, which is made up of credit risk, market risk and fixed overhead (equal to six months average expenditures) requirements. At June 30, 2008, the aggregate regulatory net capital/resources of our regulated subsidiaries in the United States and the United Kingdom were $34.7 million, an excess of $22.3 million over our aggregate requirement of $12.4 million (including the $10 million excess required by DTCC described above).
 
On June 3, 2008, FIXCITY became a registered firm of the FSA. To satisfy the financial resources requirement, $1.0 million of equity capital was injected into FIXCITY in May 2008.
 
Investing Activities
 
Investments in current technology to maintain our infrastructure and to enhance our products remain an important requirement for our available cash resources.
 
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $18.5 million. This consisted of capital expenditures for property and equipment, principally for data center equipment and software, of $4.0 million, capitalized software development costs of $2.8 million, $7.0 million in payments to the former minority owners of NYFIX Millennium to acquire their interests and $6.9 million for the acquisition of FIXCITY, net of cash acquired. These payments were partially offset by $2.1 million received from GL in payment of an earn out related to the sale of NYFIX Overseas in August 2006 net of amounts paid to the NYFIX Overseas management team.
 
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $6.8 million. This consisted of capital expenditures for property and equipment, principally for data center equipment and software, of $5.1 million and capitalized software development costs of $1.8 million.
 
Financing Activities
 
Our financing activities primarily consist of long-term debt issued for working capital purposes, capital lease obligations used for equipment purchases, and issuances of capital stock for general corporate purposes and business development activities. At June 30, 2008, we had long-term debt and capital lease obligations outstanding aggregating $10.8 million (including current portions).
 
At June 30, 2008, we had outstanding two convertible notes aggregating $10.0 million with substantially similar terms to the same lender. The convertible notes incur interest at a rate of 5% and are due in December 2009. At June 30, 2008, the price at which the lender could convert the convertible notes into shares of our common stock was $5.63 per share. The conversion price may be reduced if we issue shares of common stock at a price below the conversion price in effect, excluding stock option exercises, the settlement of obligations outstanding as of the date of the convertible note and other transactions previously approved by our Board of Directors.
 
Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $0.8 million and $0.7 million, respectively, consisting primarily of principal payments under capital lease obligations.
 
Commitments and Contingencies
 
There are various lawsuits and claims pending against us as well as ongoing SEC and United States Attorney’s Office investigations into our accounting for stock option grants and an SEC investigation into our accounting for the losses incurred by NYFIX Millennium. We are currently unable to predict the outcomes and reasonably estimate the amounts of loss, if any, with respect to these matters. With respect to certain of these matters, we could be subject to penalties, fines or regulatory sanctions or claims by current and former officers, directors or employees for indemnification of costs or losses they may incur and such amounts, individually or collectively, could have a material impact on our financial condition. In addition, other actions may be brought against us related to these matters.

See Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Note 9 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 filed with our 2007 Form 10-K for a description of our commitments and contingencies.
 
Seasonality and Inflation
 
We believe that our operations have not been significantly affected by seasonality or inflation.
 
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have no material off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined under SEC rules, other than those related to the contingent obligations under the convertible notes as described above and under the terms of our Series B Preferred Stock as described in our 2007 Form 10-K.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates 
 
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including our allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation and obsolescence, long-lived tangible and intangible assets, income taxes, and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. In our 2007 10-K, we identified and disclosed critical accounting policies, which included revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, property and equipment, acquisitions and goodwill, capitalized software costs, long-lived assets, income taxes, contingencies and stock-based compensation. These critical accounting policies affect significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements. We reviewed our policies in conjunction with the preparation of this report and have determined that those critical policies remain and have not changed since December 31, 2007.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
There have been no material changes in our exposure to market risk during the six months ended June 30, 2008, from those described in Part II, Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, included in our 2007 Form 10-K.
 
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2008. Disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that the information that we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s Rules and Forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
As disclosed in our 2007 Form 10-K, management and our independent registered public accounting firm identified two material weaknesses regarding elements of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. A material weakness is a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Material weaknesses in internal controls may also constitute deficiencies in our disclosure controls and procedures.
 
 Based on the results of this evaluation including the existence of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2008.
 
Interim Measures to Ensure the Accuracy of Financial Reporting
 
In response to the material weaknesses identified as a result of management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting as disclosed in our 2007 Form 10-K, our management, with oversight from our Audit Committee, has performed expanded and compensating measures to help ensure the accuracy of our financial reporting until such time as we are able to remedy all of our material weaknesses. Such measures included, among other things:
 
 
·
expansion of our period-end closing procedures;
 
 
·
enhanced monitoring and communications;
 
 
·
additional analyses and cross team reviews;
 
 
·
the dedication of significant internal resources; and
 
 
·
additional top-level management reviews of financial information and related disclosures.
 
As a result of these expanded and compensating procedures, we concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with GAAP.
 
The certifications of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer required in accordance with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 are attached as exhibits to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The disclosures set forth in this Item 4 contain information concerning the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting, referred to in the certifications. Those certifications should be read in conjunction with this Item 4 for a complete understanding of the matters covered by the certifications.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
 
Our SOX 404 Operations & Remediation Committee and members of our finance team implemented a number of significant changes to our internal control structure during 2007 which resulted in the remediation of numerous previously disclosed material weaknesses. For the remaining two identified material weaknesses as of December 31, 2007 - controls over revenue from historical subscriptions and controls related to the acquisition, tracking and disposition of property and equipment, we have developed corrective action plans with the goal of completing the remediation during 2008. We have completed a number of significant milestones in these action plans, however, additional work remains. While we believe our ongoing efforts have improved our internal control over financial reporting, we have not completed the redesign and/or implementation of all necessary procedures and controls or our documentation and testing of the processes. Accordingly, we will continue to perform the interim measures described above and monitor the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in the areas impacted by the material weaknesses discussed above.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
 
There were no material changes during the three months ended June 30, 2008, with respect to the legal proceedings described in Part I, Item 3, Legal Proceedings, included in our 2007 Form 10-K.
 
Subsequent Event
 
As disclosed in our 2007 Form 10-K, we are named as a nominal defendant in two shareholder derivative actions, one pending in Connecticut Superior Court (the "Consolidated State Suit") and one pending in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut (the "Consolidated Federal Suit"). These actions also name as defendants a number of our former officers and directors, including our former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, another former Chief Executive Officer and director, the Company’s former Chief Information Officer, two former Chief Financial Officers, our former General Counsel and our former Executive Vice President and President of NYFIX Millennium. These actions demand unspecified money damages, ask for an accounting and seek rescission of alleged misdated options based on, among other things, alleged breaches of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment and breach of contract. Defendants filed motions to dismiss both of these matters.   In July 2008, the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut dismissed the Consolidated Federal Suit and entered judgment in favor of NYFIX and the individual defendants. It is unknown whether the plaintiffs will appeal this ruling, and the final outcome of the matter cannot be predicted at this time. Neither the date of the Connecticut Superior Court's ruling on the motion to dismiss the Consolidated State Suit nor the outcome of that suit can be predicted at this time. 
 
Item 1A. Risk Factors
 
Other than the addition of the following risk factor, there have been no material changes during the three months ended June 30, 2008 with respect to the Risk Factors described in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, included in our 2007 Form 10-K.
 
We may face risks associated with our international expansion that could impair our ability to grow our international revenues.
 
As part of our strategy to increase our transaction revenues globally, we launched our Euro Millennium platform in March 2008 for matching U.K. listed equities and recently expanded the platform to other European markets, including Belgium, France, Germany and the Netherlands. Euro Millennium did not generate meaningful revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2008. Significant work remains to connect new clients and to enhance the electronic trading capabilities of existing clients to take full advantage of this platform. We expect continued losses related to this initiative during the remainder of 2008, with a loss of between $2.0 million and $2.5 million expected for the third quarter.
 
In addition, our international expansion program will require significant management attention and financial resources to successfully develop direct and indirect international sales and support channels. In addition, we may not be able to develop international market demand for our products, which could impair our ability to grow our revenues. We have limited experience marketing, distributing and supporting our products internationally and, to do so, we expect that we will need to develop versions of our products that comply with local standards. Furthermore, international operations are subject to other inherent risks, including:
 
 reliance on distributors and resellers;
 greater difficulty collecting accounts receivable and longer collection cycles;
 difficulties and costs of staffing and managing international operations;
 the impact of differing technical standards outside the United States;
 the impact of recessions in economies outside the United States;
 changes in regulatory or capitalization requirements, or in currency exchange rates;
 certification requirements;
 reduced protection for intellectual property rights in some countries;
 potentially adverse tax consequences; and
 political and economic instability.
