NYFIX has been incurring significant transitional rebuilding and remediation expenses, to remediate deficiencies as well as improve critical operational systems and processes, including technology infrastructure and management information systems to improve scalability, and to resolve certain historical administrative issues. In addition, NYFIX has been incurring significant transitional employment costs to build critical teams, retain key employees, and improve various operational capabilities while remediating related skill gaps to improve scalability. NYFIX expects its reported results for the remainder of 2007 to continue to reflect significant amounts of these costs as well as continued costs related to the options investigations and litigations and other related expenses.
