Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies

For a complete discussion of the Company’s accounting policies, refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Basis of Presentation – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. As permitted by the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain certain condensed financial information and exclude certain footnote disclosures normally included in audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, necessary to fairly present the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. The December 31, 2009 Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Operating results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010.

The Company’s policy is to consolidate all subsidiaries in which it has a controlling financial interest, as well as any variable interest entities (“VIEs”) where the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, when it has the power to make the decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE and has the obligation to absorb significant losses or the right to receive significant benefits.

All intercompany balances and transactions with the Company’s subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Reclassifications – During the second quarter of 2010, deferred revenue of $536 was reclassified from Other Current Liabilities to Deferred Revenue on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of December 31, 2009, to conform to current presentation.

Investment Banking Revenue – The Company earns advisory fees for mergers, acquisitions, financing and restructuring transactions and recognizes financial advisory fee revenue pursuant to the terms of the engagement letter. It is the Company’s accounting policy to recognize revenue when (i) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement with a client, (ii) fees are fixed or determinable, (iii) the agreed-upon services have been completed and delivered to the client or the transaction or events contemplated in the engagement letter are determined to be substantially completed and (iv) collection is reasonably assured. In some circumstances, and as a function of the terms of an engagement letter, the Company may receive retainer fees for financial advisory services concurrent with, or soon after, the execution of the engagement letter where the engagement letter will specify a future service period associated with that fee. In such circumstances, these retainer fees are initially recorded as deferred revenue, which is recorded within Deferred Revenue on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and subsequently recognized as advisory fee revenue during the applicable time period within which the service is rendered. Revenues related to fairness or valuation opinions are recognized when the opinion has been rendered and delivered to the client and all other requirements for revenue recognition are satisfied. Success fees for advisory services, such as merger and acquisition (“M&A”) advice, are recognized when the transaction(s) or event(s) are determined to be completed or substantially completed and all other requirements for revenue recognition are satisfied. In the event the Company were to receive an opinion or success fee in advance of the completion conditions noted above, such fee would initially be recorded as deferred revenue and subsequently recognized as advisory fee revenue when the conditions of completion have been satisfied.

Investment Banking Revenue on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations includes underwriting fees and trading commissions earned from IE. Underwriting revenues are attributable to public and private offerings of equity and debt securities and are recognized when the offering has been deemed to be completed by the lead manager of the underwriting group, pursuant to applicable SEC and FINRA rules. When the offering is completed, the Company recognizes the applicable management fee, selling concession or placement fee, and underwriting fee, the latter net of estimated offering expenses.

Note 3 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2010-17 – In April 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-17, “Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition” (amendments to FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605, Revenue Recognition) (“ASU 2010-17”). ASU 2010-17 provides guidance on defining a milestone and determining when it may be appropriate to apply the milestone method of revenue recognition. These arrangements frequently include payment provisions whereby a portion or all of the consideration is contingent upon milestone events. An entity often recognizes these milestone payments as revenue in their entirety upon achieving the related milestone, commonly referred to as the milestone method. The new guidance is effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU on April 1, 2010. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Note 4 – Business Changes and Developments

Atalanta Sosnoff Capital, LLC – In May 2010, the Company purchased an interest in Atalanta, representing a 49% economic interest, for a cash purchase price of $68,992, subject to adjustment based upon the receipt of required consents and certain other matters, as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. Following the consummation of the transaction, the remainder of Atalanta’s economic interests, which includes management’s profits interest, are owned by the senior management of Atalanta. The senior management of Atalanta owns interests comprised of Series A-2 Capital Interests, Series B Capital Interests and Series C Profits Interests, which represents 5.5%, 19.6% and 25.9%, respectively, for a 51% economic interest. The Company owns Series A-1 Capital Interests, which represents a 49% economic interest. The Series C interest is a profits interest; accordingly, the Company is required to account for this interest as a compensation arrangement. Excluding the Series C interest, the Company’s interest in Atalanta is 66%. Atalanta was purchased to expand on the Company’s asset management capabilities. Atalanta manages assets for institutional, high net-worth and broker advised clients, and is focused on managing large-cap U.S. equity and balanced accounts. The Company consolidates the financial results of Atalanta based on provisions in the operating agreement which give the Company the majority vote in the management committee of Atalanta.

The purchase price of the acquisition has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed using the fair values as determined by management as of the acquisition date. The computation of goodwill was based on its fair value at May 28, 2010, as presented below.

(dollars and share amounts in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted)

In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company recognized accounts receivable with a gross value of $7,034, which approximates fair value, all of which are expected to be collected. The goodwill reflects the replacement cost of an assembled workforce associated with personal reputations, relationships and business specific knowledge, as well as the value of expected synergies and premiums paid by the Company and the noncontrolling interest holders.

The Purchase Agreement provides for earn-out consideration to the sellers of $14,700 if Atalanta’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) exceed $19,500 for 2010. The sellers will receive a pro-rata portion of the $14,700 if Atalanta’s EBITDA exceeds $17,000, but does not exceed $19,500. The earn-out consideration, if any, will be paid 50% in cash and 50% in shares of Evercore Class A common stock. The fair value of the contingent payments was $14,105 as of June 30, 2010.

In connection with the acquisition of Atalanta, the Company recorded intangible assets of $39,700, $1,800 and $1,780 relating to Client Relationships, Trademarks and Non-Compete/Non-Solicit Agreements, respectively. Management views client relationships as the primary intangible assets of Atalanta, as management believes the client relationships are stable and recurring. The intangible assets were valued at the date of acquisition at their fair value as determined by management. The intangible assets are generally amortized over estimated useful lives ranging from four to 15 years. The Company recognized $509 of amortization expense related to these intangible assets for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Goodwill and intangible assets recognized as a result of this acquisition are included in the Investment Management Segment.

The Company’s consolidated results include revenue and expenses from Atalanta of $3,924 and $3,121, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2010, which included $509 of amortization expense related to intangible asses.

Morse, Williams and Company, Inc. – In May 2010, the Company acquired Morse Williams (“Morse Williams”), a registered investment advisor that provides separate management services for tax-exempt institutions and taxable clients. The terms of the acquisition include stock-based initial consideration of $1,350 and contingent consideration based on future investment fees earned. The fair value of the earn-out consideration was $628 as of June 30, 2010. The transaction resulted in goodwill of $848 and intangible assets relating to Client Relationships of $1,130, recognized in the Investment Management Segment. The Client Relationships are being amortized over 9 years. Amortization expense related to these intangibles was $9 for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

If the acquisitions of Atalanta and Morse Williams were effective as of January 1, 2009, the operating results of the Company, on a pro forma basis, would have been:


	For the Three Months Ended						For the Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2010			June 30, 2009			June 30, 2010		June 30, 2009

Acquisition of the Private Funds Group of Neuberger Berman – In February 2010, the Company acquired assets of the Private Funds Group of Neuberger Berman (“PFG”) for initial consideration of $1,000 and contingent consideration based on future revenues earned. The Company’s commitment to pay earn-out consideration is based on varied percentages of future fees earned by the private funds group over the 18 month period following the acquisition. The fair value of the earn-out consideration was $4,000 as of June 30, 2010. The transaction resulted in goodwill of $990 and intangible assets relating to Acquired Mandates and Client Relationships of $1,810 and $2,300, respectively, recognized in the Investment Banking Segment. The Acquired Mandates and Client Relationships are being amortized over four years and seven years, respectively. Amortization expense related to these intangibles was $231 and $307 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.

The seller did not maintain U.S. GAAP basis financial statements for PFG. The Company is unable to independently substantiate the significant assumptions that must be made in order to compile U.S. GAAP basis financial statements for prior periods from what was provided by the seller. As a result, the Company believes it is impracticable to disclose pro forma financial information.

Trilantic Capital Partners – In February 2010, the Company announced the formation of a strategic alliance to pursue private equity investment opportunities for Trilantic Capital Partners’ (“Trilantic”) current fund and to collaborate on the future growth of Trilantic’s business. See Notes 9 and 13 for further discussions.

Since the Company has the ability and intent to hold available-for-sale securities until a recovery of fair value to an amount approximating its amortized cost, which may be maturity, and has not incurred credit losses on its securities, it does not consider such unrealized loss positions to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2010.

Debt Securities

The Company invests in corporate and municipal bonds, which are classified as available-for-sale securities within Marketable Securities on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The Company had realized gains of $2,251 and $3,424 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, and $0 and $163 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.

Seed Capital Investments

During the first quarter of 2009, the Company assessed its treasury and investment activities including the Seed Capital Investments managed by EAM and, as a result, the Company transferred these securities from trading to available-for-sale. Accordingly, these securities are stated at quoted market value with unrealized gains and losses, which have occurred since the date of transfer, included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income and realized gains and losses included in earnings. Prior to the transfer, the Company incurred $758 of realized and unrealized losses on Seed Capital Investments during 2009. Subsequent to the transfer, the Company incurred $91 and $187 of realized gains for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.

Note 8 – Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value, Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

The Company, through PCB, enters into repurchase agreements with clients seeking overnight money market returns whereby PCB transfers to the clients Mexican government securities in exchange for cash and concurrently agrees to repurchase the securities at a future date for an amount equal to the cash exchanged plus a stipulated premium or interest factor. PCB deploys the cash received from, and acquires the securities deliverable to, clients under these repurchase arrangements by purchasing securities in the open market, which the Company reflects as Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, or by entering into reverse repurchase agreements with unrelated third parties. The Company accounts for these repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements as collateralized financing transactions, which are carried at their contract amounts which approximate fair value given that the contracts generally mature the following business day. The Company records a liability on its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition in relation to repurchase transactions executed with clients as Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase. The Company records as assets on its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value (where the Company has acquired the securities deliverable to clients under these repurchase arrangements by purchasing securities in the open market) and Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell (where the Company has acquired the securities

deliverable to clients under these repurchase agreements by entering into reverse repurchase agreements with unrelated third parties). These Mexican government securities have an estimated average time to maturity of approximately 2.1 years and are pledged as collateral against repurchase agreements which are collateralized financing agreements. Generally, collateral is posted equal to the contract value at inception and is subject to market changes. These repurchase agreements are primarily with institutional customer accounts managed by PCB and permit the counterparty to pledge the securities.

As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, a summary of the Company’s assets, liabilities and collateral received or pledged related to these transactions is as follows:

Trilantic

During the first quarter of 2010, the Company made an equity method investment in Trilantic. See Note 13 for a further discussion.

Pan

In 2008, the Company made an equity method investment of $4,158 in Pan and maintains a 50% interest at June 30, 2010. This investment resulted in losses of $130 and $310 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, and $185 and $389 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.

Cost Basis Investments

In 2009, the Company invested $1,250 in CITIC Securities International Partners, LTD (“CSIP”) in exchange for a 5% noncontrolling interest in the entity. CSIP and the Company focus on providing leading independent investment M&A advisory and investment management service, effecting transactions between China and other international markets. This investment is accounted for on the cost basis.

Note 10 – Fair Value Measurements

The Company adopted ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), as of January 1, 2008, which among other matters, requires enhanced disclosures about investments that are measured and reported at fair value. The adoption did not have a material impact on the results of the Company. ASC 820 establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily-available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

Level I – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. The type of investments included in Level I include listed equities and listed derivatives. As required by ASC 820, the Company does not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where Evercore holds a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.

Level II – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. The estimated fair values of these securities are based on quoted market prices provided by external pricing services.

Level III – Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment.

Note 11 – Issuance of Notes Payable and Warrants

On August 21, 2008, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with Mizuho Corporate Bank, Ltd. (“Mizuho”) pursuant to which Mizuho purchased from the Company notes having a principal amount of $120,000 due 2020 with a 5.20% coupon (“the Senior Notes”) and warrants to purchase 5,455 shares of Evercore Class A common stock at $22.00 per share (the “Warrants”) expiring in 2020. Based on their relative fair value at issuance, plus accretion, the Senior Notes and Warrants were reflected in Notes Payable and Additional Paid-In-Capital on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition. The Senior Notes have an effective yield of 7.94%. At June 30, 2010, the fair value of the Company’s Senior Notes exceeded their aggregate carrying value by approximately $22,000. The fair value of the Company’s Senior Notes was estimated based on a present value analysis utilizing aggregate market yields for similar financial instruments.

The holder of the Senior Notes may require the Company to purchase, for cash, all or any portion of the holder’s Senior Notes upon a change of control of the Company for a price equal to the aggregate accreted amount of such Senior Notes, (the “Accreted Amount”), plus accrued and unpaid interest. Senior Notes held by Mizuho will be redeemable at the Accreted Amount at the option of the Company at any time within 90 days following the date on which Mizuho notifies the Company that it is terminating their strategic alliance agreement (“Strategic Alliance Agreement”). Senior Notes held by any other holder than Mizuho will be redeemable at the Accreted Amount (plus accrued and unpaid interest) at the option of the Company at any time beginning on the third anniversary of the closing of the Senior Notes and Warrants. In the event of a default under the indenture, the trustee or holders of 33 1/3% of the Senior Notes may declare that the Accreted Amount is immediately due and payable.

Pursuant to the agreement, Mizuho may not transfer the Senior Notes or Warrants until August 16, 2012 or, if the Strategic Alliance Agreement is terminated, the later of one year following such termination and the third anniversary of the closing of the purchase of the Senior Notes and Warrants. The Company has a right of first offer on any proposed transfer by Mizuho of the Warrants, Common Stock purchased in the open market or acquired by exercise of the Warrants and associated Common Stock issued as dividends.

The exercise price for the Warrants is payable, at the option of the holder of the Warrants, either in cash or by tender of Senior Notes at the Accreted Amount, at any point in time.

In February 2010, the Company issued 500 LP Units in exchange for a minority economic interest in Trilantic. At December 31, 2014, at the option of the holder, these LP Units are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis for Class A common stock of the Company or may be redeemed for cash of $16,500. This transaction resulted in Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition of $16,090, representing the fair value of the LP Units at the date of issuance. This value is being accreted to the minimum redemption value of $16,500 over the five-year period ended December 31, 2014. Accretion was $21 and $32 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.

(a)

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the LP Units (which represent the right to receive shares of Class A common stock upon exchange) were antidilutive and consequently the effect of their exchange into shares of Class A common stock has been excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders. The units that would have been included in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders if the effect would have been dilutive were 14,637 and 14,478 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, and 15,387 and 15,132 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.

(b)

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the Warrants were antidilutive and consequently the additional shares have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders. The additional shares that would have been included in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common

shareholders if the effect would have been dilutive were 5,455 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, reduced for the impact of the Treasury Stock Method, if applicable. ASC 260, “Earnings per Share,” requires that the dilutive effect of warrants with multiple conversion alternatives be determined based on the alternative which is most advantageous to the holder of the exchangeable Senior Notes and Warrants. This will generally occur when the market value of the Company’s stock exceeds the exercise price of the Warrants, requiring dilution to be determined using the Treasury Stock Method. In certain limited circumstances the dilutive effect of conversion would be calculated using the If-Converted Method.

(c)

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the additional shares of the Company’s common stock assumed to be issued pursuant to non-vested restricted stock and RSUs as calculated using the Treasury Stock Method were antidilutive and consequently the additional shares have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders. The additional shares that would have been included in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. common shareholders if the effect would have been dilutive were 1,074 and 732 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009. Antidilution is the result of the Company having a loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009.

The Company computes earnings per share using the two-class method, decreasing Net Income Attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. by the accretion of the redemption price of the noncontrolling interest in Trilantic. See Note 13 for further information. The computation of earnings per share under the two-class method had no effect on earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009.

The shares of Class B common stock have no right to receive dividends or a distribution on liquidation or winding up of Evercore Partners Inc. The shares of Class B common stock do not share in the earnings of Evercore Partners Inc. and no earnings are allocable to such class. Accordingly, basic and diluted net income (loss) per share of Class B common stock have not been presented.

Note 15 – Stock-Based and Other Deferred Compensation

Subsequent to the IPO, the Company granted new and existing employees RSUs and restricted stock. Certain of these awards vest upon the same terms as the RSUs issued at the time of the IPO (“Event-based Awards”) and certain of these awards vest from one to five years (“Service-based Awards”).

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, pursuant to the Evercore Partners Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, the Company granted employees 1,319 RSUs that are Service-based Awards. Service-based Awards granted during the six months ended June 30, 2010 had grant date fair values of $25.72 to $35.79 per share. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, 1,195 Service-based Awards and 2 Event-based Awards vested, and 28 Service-based Awards and 36 Event-based Awards were forfeited. Compensation expense related to stock-based awards including compensation expense related to the amortization of the LP Units was $13,543 and $28,408 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company amended the terms of a Service-based Award with respect to 97 RSUs. Due to this amendment, $2,686 reclassified from Additional Paid-In-Capital to Other Current Liabilities on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition.

Note 16 – Commitments and Contingencies

For a complete discussion of the Company’s commitments, refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Operating Leases – The Company leases office space under non-cancelable lease agreements, which expire on various dates through 2023. The Company reflects lease expense over the lease terms on a straight-line basis. Occupancy lease agreements, in addition to base rentals, generally are subject to escalation provisions based on certain costs incurred by the landlord. Occupancy and Equipment Rental on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations includes occupancy rental expense relating to operating leases of $3,122 and $5,126 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, and $2,382 and $4,623 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.

During the first six months of 2010, in conjunction with agreements to lease additional office space and our acquisition of Atalanta, the Company’s annual base rental payments increased approximately $3,800. In conjunction with these leases, the Company entered into irrevocable letters of credit of approximately $600.

In addition, during the first six months of 2010, the Company entered into contracts which have one to three year terms and aggregate minimum annual payments and cancellation fees of approximately $460 and $820, respectively.

See Note 4 for the Company’s commitments related to the earn-out consideration for the acquisitions of Atalanta, Morse Williams and the key assets of PFG.

Legal

In the normal course of business, from time to time the Company and its affiliates may be involved in judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of its businesses, and, in the past, the Company and its affiliates have been named as a defendant in civil litigation matters involving present or former clients or competitors. In addition, Mexican, United Kingdom and United States government agencies and self-regulatory organizations, as well as state securities commissions in the United States, conduct periodic examinations and initiate administrative proceedings regarding the Company’s business, including, among other matters, accounting and operational matters, that can result in censure, fine, the issuance of cease-and-desist orders or the suspension or expulsion of a broker-dealer, investment advisor, or its directors, officers or employees. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of such matters, particularly in cases where claimants seek substantial or indeterminate damages or where investigations and proceedings are in the early stages, the Company cannot predict with certainty the loss or range of loss, if any, related to such matters, how or if such matters will be resolved, when they will ultimately be resolved, or what the eventual settlement, fine, penalty or other relief, if any, might be. Subject to the foregoing, the Company believes, based on current knowledge and after consultation with counsel, that it is not currently party to any material pending legal proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, the resolution of which would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Legal reserves are established in accordance with ASC 450, “Accounting for Contingencies” when warranted. Once established, reserves are adjusted when there is more information available or when an event occurs requiring a change.

Note 17 – Regulatory Authorities

EGL is a U.S. registered broker-dealer and is subject to the net capital requirements of Rule 15c3-1 under the Exchange Act. Rule 15c3-1 requires the maintenance of net capital, as defined, which shall be the greater of $100 or 6 2/3% of aggregate indebtedness, as defined. EGL’s regulatory net capital as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $74,065 and $75,025, respectively, which exceeded the minimum net capital requirement by $71,886 and $74,028, respectively. Certain other non-U.S. subsidiaries are subject to various securities and banking regulations and capital adequacy requirements promulgated by the regulatory and exchange authorities of the countries in which they operate. These subsidiaries have consistently operated in excess of their local capital adequacy requirements.

ETC, which is limited to fiduciary activities, is regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) and is a member bank of the Federal Reserve System. The Company, Evercore LP and ETC are subject to written agreements with the OCC that, among other things, require the Company and Evercore LP to (1) maintain at least $5,000 in Tier 1 capital in ETC (or such other amount as the OCC may require), (2) maintain liquid assets in ETC in an amount at least equal to the greater of $3,500 or 90 days coverage of ETC’s operating expenses and (3) provide at least $10,000 of certain collateral held in a segregated account at a third-party depository institution. The $10,000 is included in Assets Segregated for Bank Regulatory Requirements on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The Company was in compliance with the aforementioned agreements for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Note 18 – Income Taxes

The Company’s Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes was ($1,698) and $2,961 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, and $1,373 and $2,431 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. The effective tax rate was 52% and 40% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, and (11%) and (21%) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. The effective tax rate for 2010 reflects the effect of certain non-deductible stock compensation expenses associated with the vesting of LP Units and losses in certain foreign jurisdictions for which no foreign income tax benefits are anticipated.

As of June 30, 2010, there was $2,683 of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. The Company does not anticipate a significant change in unrecognized tax positions as a result of the settlement of income tax audits for examining the Company’s income tax returns during the upcoming year.

The Company classifies interest relating to tax matters and tax penalties as a component of income tax expense in its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Related to the unrecognized tax benefits, the Company accrued interest of $49 and $58 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, and had recognized a liability for penalties of $739 and interest of $1,046 at June 30, 2010.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Evercore Partners Inc.’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains or incorporates by reference forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, which reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, our operations and financial performance. In some cases, you can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “outlook”, “believes”, “expects”, “potential”, “continues”, “may”, “should”, “seeks”, “approximately”, “predicts”, “intends”, “plans”, “estimates”, “anticipates” or the negative version of these words or other comparable words. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties.

Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements and are based on various underlying assumptions and expectations and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, and may include projections of our future financial performance based on our growth strategies and anticipated trends in Evercore’s business. We believe these factors include, but are not limited to, those described under “Risk Factors” discussed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included or incorporated by reference in this report. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all risks and uncertainties, nor can management 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.

Key Financial Measures

Revenue

Total revenues reflect revenues from our Investment Banking and Investment Management business segments that include transaction-related client reimbursements plus other revenue. Net revenues reflect total revenues less interest expense related to repurchase agreements, senior notes and other borrowings.

Investment Banking. Our Investment Banking business earns fees from our clients for providing advice on mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, leveraged buyouts, restructurings and similar corporate finance matters, and during the first quarter of 2010, the Investment Banking segment (formerly called the Advisory segment) expanded to include underwriting capabilities and private fund placement services. The amount and timing of the fees paid vary by the type of engagement. In general, advisory fees are paid at the time we sign an engagement letter, during the course of the engagement or when an engagement is completed. The majority of our investment banking revenue comes from advisory fees that are dependent on the successful completion of a transaction. A transaction can fail to be completed for many reasons, including failure of parties to agree upon final terms with the counterparty, to secure necessary board or shareholder approvals, to secure necessary financing or to achieve necessary regulatory approvals. In the case of bankruptcy engagements, fees are subject to approval of the court.

Revenue trends in our Investment Banking business generally are correlated to the volume of M&A activity and/or restructuring activity, which tends to be counter-cyclical to M&A. However, deviations from this trend can occur in any given year or quarter for a number of reasons. For example, changes in our market share or the ability of our clients to close certain large transactions can cause our revenue results to diverge from the level of overall M&A or restructuring activity.

We may also earn revenue from underwriting and private placement of fixed income and equity securities.

We operate in a highly-competitive environment and each revenue-generating engagement is separately awarded and negotiated. Our list of clients, including our list of clients with whom there is a currently active revenue-generating engagement, changes continually. We gain new clients through our business development initiatives, through recruiting additional senior investment banking professionals, and through referrals from executives, directors, attorneys and other parties with whom we have relationships. We may also lose clients as a result of the sale or merger of a client, a change in a client’s senior management, competition from other investment banks and other causes.

Investment Management. Our Investment Management business includes operations related to the management of the Institutional Asset Management, Wealth Management and Private Equity businesses. Revenue sources primarily include management fees, which include fees earned from portfolio companies, fiduciary and consulting fees, performance fees (including carried interest) and gains (or losses) on our investments.

Management fees from EAM, EWM, Atalanta and PCB generally represent a percentage of assets under management. Fees from ETC and PCB’s trust business includes fiduciary and consulting fees, which are generally a function of the size and complexity of each engagement and are individually negotiated. Management fees from private equity operations are generally a percentage of committed capital or invested capital at rates agreed with the investment funds we manage or with the individual client. Performance fees from private equity funds are earned when specified benchmarks are exceeded. In certain circumstances, such fees are subject to “claw-back” provisions. Portfolio company fees include monitoring, director and transaction fees associated with services provided to the portfolio companies of the private equity funds we manage. Gains and losses include both realized and unrealized gains and losses on principal investments, including those arising from our equity interest in investment partnerships.

Transaction-Related Client Reimbursements. In both our Investment Banking and Investment Management segments, we make various transaction-related expenditures, such as travel and professional fees, on behalf of our clients. Pursuant to the engagement letters with our advisory clients or the contracts with the limited partners in the private equity funds we manage, these expenditures may be reimbursable. We define these expenses as transaction-related expenses and record such expenditures as incurred and record revenue when it is determined that clients have an obligation to reimburse us for such transaction-related expenses. Client expense reimbursements are recorded as revenue on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations on the later of the date an engagement letter is executed or the date we pay or accrue the expense.

Net Interest Revenue. Net interest revenue is derived from investing customer funds in financing transactions by PCB. These transactions are principally repurchases and resales of Mexican government and government agency securities. Revenue and expenses associated with these transactions are recognized over the term of the repurchase or resale transaction. Net interest revenue also includes interest expense associated with the senior notes, as well as income earned on marketable securities, cash and cash equivalents and assets segregated for regulatory purposes.

Operating Expenses

Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense. We include all payments for services rendered by our employees, including our Senior Managing Directors, as well as profits interests in our businesses that have been accounted for as compensation, in employee compensation and benefits expense.

We maintain compensation programs, including base salary, cash and equity bonus awards and benefits programs and manage compensation to estimates of competitive levels based on market conditions. Our level of compensation reflects our plan to maintain competitive compensation levels to retain key personnel, and it reflects the impact of newly-hired Senior Managing Directors, including related grants of equity awards valued at current and prior stock prices.

Increasing the number of high-caliber experienced senior level employees is critical to our growth efforts. In our investment banking business, these hires generally do not begin to generate significant revenue in the year they are hired.

Our annual compensation program includes stock-based compensation awards as a component of the annual bonus awards for certain employees, including certain Senior Managing Directors. These equity awards are generally subject to annual vesting requirements over a four-year period beginning at the date of grant, which generally occurs in the first quarter of each year; accordingly, the expense is being amortized over the vesting period.

Non-Compensation Expenses. The balance of our operating expenses includes costs for occupancy and equipment rental, professional fees, travel and related expenses, communications and information services, depreciation and amortization, acquisition and transition costs and other operating expenses. We refer to all of these expenses as non-compensation expenses.

Other Expenses

Other Expenses include compensation costs associated with the modification of unvested LP Units and certain other awards, Acquisition and Transition Costs incurred in connection with the consummation of our acquisition of SFS and the formation of ETC, Special Charges and amortization of intangibles associated with certain acquisitions.

Provision for Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), which requires the recognition of tax benefits or expenses on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of our assets and liabilities.

Noncontrolling Interest

We record noncontrolling interest relating to the ownership interests of our current and former Senior Managing Directors, their estate planning vehicles and Trilantic in Evercore LP, as well as the portions of PCB, EWM, EAM, IE, Atalanta and ETC not owned by Evercore. As described in Note 1 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements herein, Evercore Partners Inc. is the sole general partner of Evercore LP. Prior to the Company’s stock offering and purchase of a portion of the noncontrolling interest in Evercore LP in the third quarter of 2009, Evercore Partners Inc. had a minority economic interest in Evercore LP but a majority voting interest in and controlled the management of Evercore LP. Subsequent to the Company’s stock offering in the third quarter of 2009, in addition to having a majority voting interest in and controlling the management of Evercore LP, Evercore Partners Inc. has a majority economic interest in Evercore LP. As a result, both before and after the Company’s stock offering in the third quarter of 2009, Evercore Partners Inc. consolidates Evercore LP and records a noncontrolling interest for the economic interest in Evercore LP held by the limited partners. For further information see Note 13 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

We generally allocate net income (loss) to noncontrolling interests held at Evercore LP and at the operating entity level, where required, by multiplying the vested equity ownership percentage of the noncontrolling interest holders for the period by the net income or loss of the entity which the noncontrolling interest relates. In circumstances where the governing documents of the entity which the noncontrolling interest relates require special allocations of profits (losses) to the controlling and noncontrolling interest holders, then the net income or loss of these entities will be allocated based on these special allocations.

Results of Operations

The following is a discussion of our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. For a more detailed discussion of the factors that affected the revenue and operating expenses of our Investment Banking and Investment Management business segments in these periods, see the discussion in “Business Segments” below.

We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact of all potentially applicable 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.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 versus June 30, 2009

Net revenues were $64.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010; a decrease of $6.2 million, or 9%, versus net revenues of $71.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Investment Banking Revenue decreased 32% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009 while Investment Management Revenue increased 654% from the three months ended June 30, 2009. See the Business Segments section below for a further discussion. Net revenues include interest expense on our Senior Notes.

Total Operating Expenses were $62.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $66.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, a 7% decrease. Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense, as a component of Operating Expenses, was $40.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, a decrease of $11.1 million, or 21%, versus expense of $51.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease was primarily due to the accrual of lower amounts of discretionary compensation, reflecting lower revenues, as well as the prior year’s impact of sign-on costs incurred in conjunction with the appointment of our President and Chief Executive Officer, offset by compensation costs resulting from the expansion of existing businesses and our new businesses, including IE, which was not in operation during the three months ended June 30, 2009. Non-compensation expenses as a component of Operating Expenses, were $21.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $6.7 million, or 45% over non-compensation operating expenses of $15.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Non-compensation operating expenses increased compared to 2009 primarily as a result of increased Professional Fees, Travel and Related Expenses and Acquisition and Transition Costs, primarily driven by growth in the business, the addition of new businesses, including Atalanta, and higher deal-related activity levels.

Total Other Expenses of $5.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 relate to compensation costs associated with unvested LP Units and certain other awards of $5.0 million and amortization of intangibles of $0.6 million. Total Other Expenses of $17.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 related to Special Charges of $16.1 million, Acquisition and Transition Costs of $0.4 million and amortization of intangibles of $0.6 million.

Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense as a percentage of Net Revenues was 71% for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to 73% for the three months ended June 30, 2009.

The benefit for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $1.7 million, which reflected an effective tax rate of 52%. This provision was impacted by the non-deductible compensation expense associated with the vesting of certain LP Units and certain other awards, as well as losses in certain foreign jurisdictions for which no foreign income tax benefits are anticipated. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $1.4 million, which reflected an effective tax rate of (11%). The (11%) effective tax rate was primarily due to the impact of a non-deductible charge for the cancellation of certain equity awards for employees who continue to be employed by us and the realized tax deduction for certain share-based compensation awards being lower than the deferred tax benefit recognized at the time of expensing such awards due to a decrease in the Company’s share price.

Noncontrolling interest was ($1.7) million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to ($8.3) million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. For the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Company had net income attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. while the allocation to noncontrolling interests was an allocation of a net loss. This resulted from the tax benefits taken at the corporate level, which are allocated to Net Income Attributable to Evercore Partners Inc.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 versus June 30, 2009

Net revenues were $152.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010; an increase of $31.9 million, or 26%, versus net revenues of $120.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Investment Banking Revenue and Investment Management Revenue increased 4% and 902%, respectively, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. See the segment discussion below for further information. Net revenues include interest expense on our Senior Notes.

Total Operating Expenses were $133.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $114.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, a 17% increase. Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense, as a component of Operating Expenses, was $90.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $3.0 million, or 3%, versus expense of $87.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase was primarily due to the accrual of higher amounts of discretionary compensation, reflecting higher revenues and compensation costs resulting from the expansion of existing businesses and our new businesses, including IE, all of which were either not consolidated, or in operation, during the entire six months ended June 30, 2009, offset by the prior’s year impact of sign-on costs incurred in conjunction with the appointment of our President and Chief Executive Officer. Non-compensation expenses as a component of Operating Expenses were $42.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $16.0 million, or 60% over non-compensation operating expenses of $26.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Non-compensation operating expenses increased compared to 2009 primarily as a result of increased Professional Fees, Travel and Related Expenses and Acquisition and Transition Costs, primarily driven by the addition of new businesses, including Atalanta, and higher deal-related activity levels.

Total Other Expenses of $11.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 relate to compensation costs associated with unvested LP Units and certain other awards of $10.7 million and amortization of intangibles of $1.2 million. Total Other Expenses of $17.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 related to Special Charges of $16.1 million, Acquisition and Transition Costs of $0.7 and amortization of intangibles of $1.0 million.

Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense as a percentage of Net Revenues was 66% for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to 73% for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease was primarily attributable to higher Investment Management Revenues offset by increased compensation expense associated with the amortization of unvested LP Units and certain other awards.

The provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $3.0 million, which reflected an effective tax rate of 40%. This provision was impacted by the non-deductible compensation expense associated with the vesting of certain LP Units and certain other awards, as well as losses in certain foreign jurisdictions for which no foreign income tax benefits are anticipated. The provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $2.4 million, which reflected an effective tax rate of (21%). The (21%) effective tax rate was primarily due to the impact of a non-deductible charge for the cancellation of certain equity awards for employees who continue to be employed by us and the realized tax deduction for certain share-based compensation awards being lower than the deferred tax benefit recognized at the time of expensing such awards due to a decrease in the Company’s share price.

Noncontrolling interest was $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to ($8.1) million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company had net income attributable to Evercore Partners Inc. and the allocation to non-controlling interests was an allocation of net income.

Investment Banking Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 versus June 30, 2009

Net Investment Banking Revenues were $48.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $69.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, which represented a decrease of 31%. We earned revenue from 72 clients during the three months ended June 30, 2010, 12 of which exceeded $1.0 million in revenue, compared to 77 clients during the three months ended June 30, 2009, 10 of which exceeded $1.0 million in revenue. The decrease in revenues from 2009 reflected the deferral into the subsequent quarter of certain large deal closings and related revenue recognition in both the United States and Europe, including the effect of the deferral of revenue related to one large advisory transaction which was subject to court approval as of June 30, 2010.

Operating Expenses were $44.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $49.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of $5.0 million, or 10%. Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense, as a component of Operating Expenses, was $29.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $39.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of $10.3 million, or 26%. The decrease was primarily due to the accrual of lower amounts of discretionary compensation, reflecting lower advisory revenues, as well as the prior year’s impact of sign-on costs incurred in conjunction with the appointment of our President and Chief Executive Officer, offset by compensation costs resulting from the expansion of existing businesses and our new businesses, including IE, which was not in operation during the three months ended June 30, 2009. Non-compensation expenses, as a component of Operating Expenses, were $15.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $10.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $5.3 million, or 53%. Non-compensation operating expenses increased from the prior year primarily driven by growth in the business and higher deal-related activity levels.

Other Expenses of $4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 included $4.2 million related to compensation costs associated with unvested LP Units and certain other awards and $0.5 million of intangible asset amortization. Other Expenses of $4.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 related to Special Charges if $4.0 million and amortization of intangibles of $0.5 million.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 versus June 30, 2009

Net Investment Banking Revenues were $124.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $119.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, which represented an increase of 5%, in line with the dollar value of North American and Global M&A completed transactions increasing 16% and 3%, respectively. We earned revenue from 105 clients during the six months ended June 30, 2010, 24 of which exceeded $1.0 million in revenue, compared to 103 clients during the six months ended June 30, 2009, 20 of which exceeded $1.0 million in revenue. Investment Banking Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were also affected by the timing of transactions, as noted above.

Operating Expenses were $100.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $87.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $13.4 million, or 15%. Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense, as a component of Operating Expenses, was $69.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $68.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $1.0 million, or 1%. The increase was primarily due to the accrual of higher amounts of discretionary compensation, reflecting higher advisory revenues and compensation costs resulting from the expansion of existing businesses and our new businesses, including IE, all of which were either not consolidated, or in operation, during the entire six months ended June 30, 2009, offset by the prior’s year impact of sign-on costs incurred in conjunction with the appointment of our President and Chief Executive Officer. Non-compensation expenses, as a component of Operating Expenses, were $30.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $18.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $12.4 million, or 69%. Non-compensation operating expenses increased from the prior year primarily driven by growth in the business and higher deal-related activity levels.

Other Expenses of $10.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 included $9.0 million related to compensation costs associated with unvested LP Units and certain other awards and $0.9 million of intangible asset amortization. Other Expenses of $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 related to Special Charges if $4.0 million and amortization of intangibles of $0.9 million.

Investment Management Results of Operations

Our Wealth Management and Institutional Asset Management businesses in the United States include the results of our new businesses, EWM, which commenced operations in the fourth quarter of 2008, ETC and EAM, which were consolidated in the second quarter of 2009 and Atalanta, which was consolidated during the second quarter of 2010. Our results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 include one month of Atalanta’s results while our results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 include three and two months of EAM and ETC’s results, respectively. EWM, including its recent acquisition of Morse Williams during the second quarter of 2010, manages investment portfolios and implements financial planning strategies for high net-worth individuals. ETC, in conjunction with the acquisition of SFS, focuses on providing specialized investment management, independent fiduciary and trustee services to employee benefit plans of large corporations. In addition, ETC provides personal trustee, executor and custody services for EWM clients. EAM is an institutional money manager specializing in small- and mid-cap value and core U.S. equities. Atalanta provides investment advisory services specializing in large-cap U.S. equities and balanced accounts. Each earns revenues on a percentage of assets under management. Fee-based revenues from EWM and Atalanta are primarily earned on a percentage of assets under management, while ETC primarily earns fees from negotiated trust services and fiduciary consulting arrangements. Our Investment Management results of operations continue to reflect the start-up nature of these businesses.

Our U.S. private equity funds, with the exception of ECP I, earn management fees of 1% of invested capital. Starting January 1, 2010, pursuant to an amendment to the ECP I Partnership Agreement, no management fees will be earned in the future. Our Mexico

private equity fund earns management fees of 2.25% on committed capital during its investment period and 2.25% on net funded committed capital thereafter. Management fees for our Mexican private equity fund, EMCP II, were calculated on committed capital.

In addition, the general partner of private equity funds earns carried interest of 20% based on the fund’s performance, provided it exceeds preferred return hurdles to its limited partners. We own 8%-9% of the carried interest earned by the general partner of ECP II and 100% of Carried Interest in EMCP II. A significant portion of any gains recognized related to ECP II are distributed to certain of our U.S. private equity professionals. As a result of amendments in December 2009, the Company will no longer receive management fees on ECP I.

Pursuant to the terms of each fund’s partnership agreement, the general partner of each fund is entitled to a carried interest allocation of 20%, provided its performance meets or exceeds the preferred return, return of capital and return of management fees and expenses. We are entitled to a portion of the carried interest. In the event the fund performs poorly we may be obligated to reduce revenues or repay certain carried interest previously recorded on both a realized and unrealized basis. As of June 30, 2010, we had $2.7 million of previously received carried interest that may be subject to repayment.

Assets Under Management

Assets under management (“AUM”) for our Investment Management business of $15.2 billion at June 30, 2010, increased from $4.3 billion at December 31, 2009. The amounts of AUM presented in the table below reflect the assets for which we charge a management fee. These assets reflect the fair value of assets held on behalf of Institutional Asset Management and Wealth Management clients, and the amount of either invested or committed capital to the Private Equity funds. As defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, valuations performed for Level I investments are based on quoted prices obtained from active markets generated by third parties and Level II investments are valued through the use of models based on either direct or indirect observable inputs in the use of models or other valuation methodologies performed by third parties to determine fair value. For both the Level I and Level II investments, we obtain both active quotes from nationally recognized exchanges and third party pricing services to determine market or fair value quotes. Wealth Management and Institutional Asset Management, in the aggregate, maintained 88% and 67% of Level I, and 12% and 33% of Level II investments as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. As noted above, Private Equity AUM is not presented at fair market value, but reported at either invested or committed capital in line with fee arrangements; notwithstanding, these assets represent primarily Level III investments.

AUM increased from December 31, 2009, primarily due to client inflows in Wealth Management and Institutional Asset Management, including our recent acquisition of Atalanta. These inflows are primarily the result of the early stage nature of these businesses, the acquisitions of Atalanta and Morse Williams and the addition of new clients. The acquisition of Atalanta resulted in the consolidation of $10.2 billion of AUM during the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 versus June 30, 2009

Net Investment Management Revenues were $16.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Fees-based revenues earned from the management of client portfolios and other investment advisory services increased 139% from the three months ended June 30, 2009 as a result of the acquisition of new businesses within Institutional Asset Management and Wealth Management, as well as continued growth in AUM. Fee-based revenues included $0.1 million of revenues from performance fees during the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $0.015 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses) increased from the prior year primarily resulting from gains on the seed capital managed by EAM and EWM, PCB’s public securities and realized gains in our U.S. private equity fund.

Operating Expenses were $17.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $17.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $0.6 million, or 4%. Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense, as a component of

Operating Expenses, was $11.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $12.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of $0.8 million, or 6%. Non-compensation expenses, as a component of Operating Expenses, were $6.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $1.4 million, or 29%. The increase was primarily a result of the full quarter impact of the acquisitions of new businesses added during 2009 and costs associated with acquisitions announced during the first quarter of 2010.

Other Expenses of $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 included $0.8 million related to compensation costs associated with unvested LP Units and certain other awards and amortization of intangibles of $0.1 million. Total Other Expenses of $12.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 related to Special Charges of $12.2 million, Acquisition and Transition Costs of $0.4 million and amortization of intangibles of $0.1 million.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 versus June 30, 2009

Net Investment Management Revenues were $28.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Fee-based revenues earned from the management of client portfolios and other investment advisory services increased 162% from the six months ended June 30, 2009 as a result of the acquisition of new businesses within Institutional Asset Management and Wealth Management, as well as continued growth in AUM. Fee-based revenues included $0.2 million of revenues from performance fees during the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $0.024 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses) increased from the prior year primarily resulting from gains on the seed capital managed by EAM and EWM and realized gains in PCB and in our U.S. private equity fund.

Operating Expenses were $32.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $27.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $5.6 million, or 21%. Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense, as a component of Operating Expenses, was $20.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $18.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $2.0 million, or 11%. The increase was primarily due to compensation costs resulting from new businesses. Non-compensation expenses, as a component of Operating Expenses, were $11.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $3.6 million, or 44%. The increase was primarily a result of the acquisition of new businesses added during 2009 and costs associated with acquisitions announced during the first quarter of 2010.

Other Expenses of $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 included $1.7 million related to compensation costs associated with unvested LP Units and certain other awards and amortization of intangibles of $0.2 million. Total Other Expenses of $13.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 related to Special Charges of $12.2 million, Acquisition and Transition Costs of $0.7 million and amortization of intangibles of $0.1 million.

Cash Flows

Our operating cash flows are primarily influenced by the timing and receipt of investment banking and investment management fees, and the payment of operating expenses, including bonuses to our employees and interest expense on our Senior Notes. Our investing and financing cash flows are primarily influenced by activities to deploy capital to fund investments and acquisitions, raise capital through the issuance of stock or debt, repurchase of outstanding Class A shares, payment of dividends and other periodic distributions to our stakeholders. Investment Banking advisory fees are generally collected within 90 days of billing. Management fees from our private equity investment management activities are generally billed in advance but collected at the end of a half year period from billing. Fees from our wealth management and institutional asset management businesses are generally billed and collected within 90 days. We traditionally pay a substantial portion of incentive compensation to personnel in the Investment Banking business and to executive officers during the first three months of each calendar year with respect to the prior year’s results. We generally make dividend payments and other distributions on a quarterly basis. A summary of our operating, investing and financing cash flows is as follows:

Six Months Ended June 30, 2010. Cash and Cash Equivalents were $144.8 million at June 30, 2010, a decrease of $61.9 million versus Cash and Cash Equivalents of $206.7 million at December 31, 2009. Operating activities resulted in a net outflow of $15.3 million, primarily related to the payment of 2009 bonus awards, offset by an increase in equity-based and other deferred compensation and deferred revenue. Cash of $6.7 million was used in investing activities primarily due to cash paid for acquisitions, offset by net proceeds from sales of Marketable Securities. Financing activities during the period used cash of $38.3 million, primarily for the purchase of treasury stock, as well as distributions to Evercore LP members and payment of dividends.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2009. Cash and Cash Equivalents were $166.9 million at June 30, 2009, a decrease of $9.0 million versus Cash and Cash Equivalents of $175.9 million at December 31, 2008. Operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2009 resulted in a net outflow of $7.5 million, primarily related to the payment of 2008 bonus awards and an increase in other assets. Cash of $10.0 million was used in investing activities primarily for the acquisition of SFS. Financing activities during the period provided cash of $7.3 million, primarily due to the issuance and sale of LP Units and from cash received for the noncontrolling interest of ETC, offset by distributions to Evercore LP Members, the payment of dividends and Treasury Stock purchases.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Our current assets include Cash and Cash Equivalents, Marketable Securities and Accounts Receivable in relation to Investment Banking and Investment Management revenues. Our current liabilities include accrued expenses and accrued employee compensation. We traditionally have made payments for employee bonuses and year-end distributions to partners in the first quarter of the year with respect to the prior year’s results. Cash distributions related to partnership tax allocations are made to the partners of Evercore LP in accordance with our corporate estimated payment calendar; these payments are made prior the end of each calendar quarter. In addition, dividends on Class A common shares are paid when and if declared by the Board of Directors, which is generally quarterly.

We regularly monitor our liquidity position, including cash, other significant working capital current assets and liabilities, long-term liabilities, lease commitments, principal investment commitments related to our Investment Management business, dividends on Class A common shares, partnership distributions and other matters relating to liquidity and compliance with regulatory requirements. Our liquidity is highly dependent on our revenue stream from our operations, principally from our Investment Banking business, which principally is a function of closing transactions and earning success fees, the timing and realization of which is irregular and dependent upon factors which are not subject to our control. Our revenue stream funds the payment of our expenses, including annual bonus payments, interest expense on our Senior Notes and income taxes. Payments made for income taxes may be reduced by deductions taken for the increase in tax basis of our investment in Evercore LP. These tax deductions, when realized, require payment under our long-term liability, Amounts Due Pursuant to Tax Receivable Agreements. We intend to fund these payments from cash and cash equivalents on hand, principally derived from cash flows from operations. These tax deductions, when realized, will result in cash otherwise required to satisfy tax obligations becoming available for other purposes. Our Management Committee meets regularly to monitor our liquidity and cash positions against our short and long-term obligations, as well as our capital commitments. The result of this review contributes to management’s recommendation to the Board of Directors as to the level of quarterly dividend payments, if any.

As a financial services firm, our businesses are materially affected by conditions in the global financial markets and economic conditions throughout the world. Revenue generated by our advisory activities is directly related to the number and value of the transactions in which we are involved. During periods of unfavorable market or economic conditions, the number and value of M&A transactions generally has decreased, thereby reducing the demand for our advisory services among financial services companies seeking such engagements. Our operating results are adversely affected by any such reduction in the number or value of mergers and acquisitions transactions. Restructuring activity generally is counter-cyclical to M&A activity, and revenues related to restructuring have offset much of the decline in M&A revenues. In addition, as a result of the market and general economic conditions, the private equity funds that our Investment Management business manages have been impacted by reduced valuations and opportunities to exit and realize value from their investments and our Institutional Asset Management business has generated lower revenue because investment advisory fees we receive typically are in part based on the market value of underlying publicly-traded securities. Our profitability may also be adversely affected by our fixed costs and the possibility that we would be unable to scale back other costs within a time frame sufficient to match any decreases in revenue relating to changes in market and economic conditions.

During the second quarter of 2008, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $25.0 million of Evercore Class A common stock and/or LP Units. Under this equity repurchase program, equity may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions, in privately-negotiated transactions or otherwise. The timing and the actual amount of equity repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including legal requirements, price and economic and market conditions. This program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not have a specified expiration date. During the first half of 2010, we repurchased 446,000 shares for $12.1 million pursuant to the program.

In addition, periodically, we buy shares into treasury from our employees in order to fund the minimum tax requirements for share deliveries under our share equity plan. During the first half of 2010, we repurchased 377,049 shares for $11.5 million related to share deliveries. We also repurchased 70,984 LP Units for $2.3 million.

On August 21, 2008, we entered into a Purchase Agreement with Mizuho pursuant to which Mizuho purchased from us $120.0 million principal amount of Senior Notes and the Warrants to purchase 5,454,545 shares of Evercore Class A common stock at $22.00 per share expiring in 2020. The holder of the Senior Notes may require us to purchase, for cash, all or any portion of the holder’s Senior Notes upon a change of control of the Company for a price equal to the Accreted Amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Senior Notes held by Mizuho will be redeemable at the Accreted Amount at our option at any time within 90 days following the date on which Mizuho notifies us that it is terminating the Strategic Alliance Agreement. Senior Notes held by any holder other than Mizuho will be redeemable at the Accreted Amount (plus accrued and unpaid interest) at our option at any time beginning on the third anniversary of closing. In the event of a default under the indenture, the trustee or holders of 33 1/3% of the Senior Notes may declare that the Accreted Amount is immediately due and payable.

Pursuant to the agreement, Mizuho may not transfer the Senior Notes or Warrants until either (a) after August 16, 2012 or (b) if the Strategic Alliance Agreement is terminated, the later of the third anniversary of the closing of the purchase of the Senior Notes and Warrants or one year following such termination. We have a right of first offer on any proposed transfer by Mizuho of the Warrants, Common Stock purchased in the open market or acquired by exercise of the Warrants and associated Common Stock issued as dividends.

The exercise price for the Warrants is payable, at the option of the holder of the Warrants, either in cash or by tender of Senior Notes at the Accreted Amount, at any point in time.

Pursuant to the agreement with Mizuho, Evercore is subject to certain nonfinancial covenants. As of June 30, 2010, we were in compliance with all of these covenants.

We have made certain capital commitments, with respect to our investment activities, which are included in the Contractual Obligations section below.

PCB maintains a line of credit with BBVA Bancomer to fund its trading activities on an intra-day and overnight basis. The intra-day facility is approximately $7.9 million and secured with trading securities. No interest is charged on the intra-day facility. The overnight facility is charged the Inter-Bank Balance Interest Rate plus 10 basis points and is secured with trading securities. There have been no significant draw downs on PCB’s line of credit since August 10, 2006. The line of credit is renewable annually.

Certain of our subsidiaries are regulated entities and are subject to capital requirements. For further information see Note 17 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Collateralized Financing Activity at PCB

PCB enters into repurchase agreements with clients seeking overnight money market returns whereby PCB transfers to the clients Mexican government securities in exchange for cash and concurrently agrees to repurchase the securities at a future date for an amount equal to the cash exchanged plus a stipulated premium or interest factor. PCB deploys the cash received from, and acquires the

securities deliverable to, clients under these repurchase arrangements by purchasing securities in the open market or by entering into reverse repurchase agreements with unrelated third parties. We account for these repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements as collateralized financing transactions. We record a liability on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition in relation to repurchase transactions executed with clients as Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase. We record as assets on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value (where we have acquired the securities deliverable to clients under these repurchase arrangements by purchasing securities in the open market) and Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell (where we have acquired the securities deliverable to clients under these repurchase agreements by entering into reverse repurchase agreements with unrelated third parties). These Mexican government securities included in Financial Instruments Owned and Pledged as Collateral at Fair Value on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition have an estimated average time to maturity of approximately 2.1 years and are pledged as collateral against repurchase agreements, which are collateralized financing agreements. Generally, collateral is posted equal to the contract value at inception and is subject to market changes. These repurchase agreements are primarily with institutional customer accounts managed by PCB, are generally in overnight maturities and permit the counterparty to pledge the securities. Increases and decreases in asset and liability levels related to these transactions are a function of growth in PCB’s assets under management, as well as clients’ investment allocations requiring positioning in repurchase transactions.

PCB has procedures in place to monitor the daily risk limits for positions taken, as well as the credit risk based on the collateral pledged under these agreements against their contract value from inception to maturity date. The daily risk measure is Value at Risk, which is a statistical measure, at a 98% confidence level, of the potential losses from adverse market movements in an ordinary market environment based on a historical simulation using the prior year’s historical data. PCB’s Risk Management Committee meets monthly to analyze the overall market risk exposure based on positions taken, as well as the credit risk, based on the collateral pledged under these agreements against the contract value from inception to maturity date.

As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, a summary of PCB’s assets, liabilities and risk measures related to its collateralized financing activities is as follows:


	June 30, 2010						December 31, 2009
	Amount			Market Value of Collateral Received or (Pledged)			Amount			Market Value of Collateral Received or (Pledged)

Contractual Obligations

For a complete discussion of our contractual obligations, refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

As of June 30, 2010, we were unable to make reasonably reliable estimates of the period of cash settlement with the respective taxing authority, hence, per ASC 740, unrecognized tax benefits have been excluded from the above commitments and contractual obligations.

During the first six months of 2010, in conjunction with agreements to lease additional office space and our acquisition of Atalanta, our annual base rental payments increased approximately $3.8 million. In conjunction with these leases, we entered into irrevocable letters of credit of approximately $0.6 million.

We had total commitments (not reflected on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition) relating to future principal investments of $11.8 million and $13.7 million as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. We expect to fund these commitments with cash flows from operations. We may be required to fund these commitments at any time through December 2017, depending on the timing and level of investments by our private equity funds.

In February 2010, we announced the formation of a strategic alliance to pursue private equity investment opportunities with Trilantic and to collaborate on the future growth of Trilantic’s business. Under terms of the agreement, we issued 500,000 LP Units with a minimum redemption value of $16.5 million on December 31, 2014 in exchange for a minority economic interest in Trilantic’s general partner interest in its current fund. We also will commit 2.5% of the total capital commitments of Trilantic’s next private equity fund when it is raised, up to $50.0 million.

In addition, during the first six months of 2010, we entered into contracts which have one to three year terms and aggregate minimum annual payments and cancellation fees of approximately $0.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

In April 2010, we entered into an agreement to acquire MJC Associates, a commercial real estate advisory boutique. The terms of the acquisition include $5.0 million of cash and $3.0 million of restricted stock, which is contingently issuable based on minimum future revenues. The transaction was consummated on July 8, 2010.

See Note 4 for our commitments related to the earn-out consideration for the acquisitions of Atalanta, Morse Williams and the key assets of PFG.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not invest in any off-balance sheet vehicles that provide liquidity, capital resources, market or credit risk support, or engage in any leasing activities that expose us to any liability that is not reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Market Risk and Credit Risk

We, in general, are not a capital-intensive organization and as such, are not subject to significant market or credit risks. Nevertheless, we have established procedures to assess both the market and credit risk, as well as specific investment risk, exchange rate risk and credit risk related to receivables.

Market and Investment Risk

Institutional Asset Management

We invest in funds managed by EAM and EWM. These funds principally hold readily-marketable investment securities. As of June 30, 2010, the fair value of our investments with EAM and EWM products, based on closing prices, was $4.9 million.

We estimate that a hypothetical 10% adverse change in the market value of the investments would have resulted in a decrease in pre-tax income of approximately $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

PCB

See “-Liquidity and Capital Resources” above for a discussion of collateralized financing transactions at PCB.

Private Equity Funds

Through our principal investments in our private equity funds and our ability to earn carried interest from these funds, we face exposure to changes in the estimated fair value of the companies in which these funds invest. Our professionals devote considerable time and resources to work closely with the portfolio company’s management to assist in designing a business strategy, allocating capital and other resources and evaluating expansion or acquisition opportunities. On a quarterly basis, we perform a comprehensive analysis and valuation of all of the portfolio companies. Our analysis includes reviewing the current market conditions and valuations of each portfolio company.

We estimate that a hypothetical 10% adverse change in the value of the private equity funds would have resulted in a decrease in pre-tax income of approximately $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Exchange Rate Risk

We have foreign operations in Mexico and the United Kingdom; their respective functional currencies are the Mexican peso and British pound sterling. We have not entered into any transactions to hedge our exposure to these foreign exchange fluctuations through the use of derivative instruments or otherwise. An appreciation or depreciation of any of these currencies relative to the U.S. dollar would result in an adverse or beneficial impact to our financial results. A significant portion of our Latin American revenues have been, and will continue to be, derived from contracts denominated in Mexican pesos and Evercore Europe’s revenue and expenses are denominated primarily in British pounds sterling and euro. Historically, the value of these foreign currencies has fluctuated relative to

the U.S. dollar. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the net impact of the fluctuation of foreign currencies recorded in Other Comprehensive Income and Noncontrolling Interest within the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Equity was ($2.1) million. It is currently not our intention to hedge our foreign currency exposure, and we will reevaluate this policy from time to time.

Credit Risks

We maintain cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions with high credit ratings. At times, we may maintain deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured (“FDIC”) limits. However, we believe that the firm is not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institution in which those deposits are held.

Accounts Receivable consists primarily of advisory fees and expense reimbursements billed to our clients. Receivables are reported net of any allowance for doubtful accounts. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts to provide coverage for probable losses from our customer receivables and derive the estimate through specific identification for the allowance for doubtful accounts and an assessment of the client’s creditworthiness. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, total receivables amounted to $31.7 million and $24.6 million, respectively, net of an allowance. The Investment Banking and Investment Management receivables collection periods generally are within 90 days of invoice. The collection period for restructuring transactions and private equity fee receivables may exceed 90 days. We recorded minimal bad debt expense for each of the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

With respect to our Marketable Securities portfolio, which is comprised primarily of highly-rated corporate and municipal bonds and Seed Capital Investments, we manage our credit risk exposure by limiting concentration risk and maintaining minimum credit quality. As of June 30, 2010, we had Marketable Securities of $77.8 million, of which 94% were corporate and municipal bonds and other debt securities primarily with S&P ratings ranging from A- to AAA and 6% were Seed Capital Investments.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions regarding future events that affect the amounts reported in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and their notes, including reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. For a complete discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Revenue Recognition

Investment Banking Revenue – The Company earns advisory fees for mergers, acquisitions, financing and restructuring transactions and recognizes financial advisory fee revenue pursuant to the terms of the engagement letter. It is the Company’s accounting policy to recognize revenue when (i) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement with a client, (ii) fees are fixed or determinable, (iii) the agreed-upon services have been completed and delivered to the client or the transaction or events contemplated in the engagement letter are determined to be substantially completed and (iv) collection is reasonably assured. In some circumstances, and as a function of the terms of an engagement letter, the Company may receive retainer fees for financial advisory services concurrent with, or soon after, the execution of the engagement letter where the engagement letter will specify a future service period associated with that fee. In such circumstances, these retainer fees are initially recorded as deferred revenue, which is recorded within Other Current Liabilities on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and subsequently recognized as advisory fee revenue during the applicable time period within which the service is rendered. Revenues related to fairness or valuation opinions are recognized when the opinion has been rendered and delivered to the client and all other requirements for revenue recognition are satisfied. Success fees for advisory services, such as M&A, are recognized when the transaction(s) or event(s) are determined to be completed or substantially completed and all other requirements for revenue recognition are satisfied. In the event the Company were to receive an opinion or success fee in advance of the completion conditions noted above, such fee would initially be recorded as deferred revenue and subsequently recognized as advisory fee revenue when the conditions of completion have been satisfied.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

payments as revenue in their entirety upon achieving the related milestone, commonly referred to as the milestone method. The new guidance is effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU on April 1, 2010. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

On May 28, 2010, the Company acquired a controlling interest in Atalanta. We performed an assessment of Atalanta’s internal control environment over financial reporting and have begun conducting control reviews pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. For further information see Note 4 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Excluding the effects of the purchased interest in Atalanta, there have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act).
