Highlight of Business Operations:

The Company reported net profit of $2.1 million or $0.15 per share for the third quarter of 2011 compared to $3.7 million or $0.27 per share in the third quarter of 2010. Revenue for the third quarter of 2011 was $231.6 million compared to revenue of $235.1 million in the third quarter of 2010, a decrease of 1.5%. Client assets entrusted to the Company and under management totaled approximately $77.3 billion while client assets under fee-based programs offered by the asset management groups totaled approximately $17.7 billion at September 30, 2011 ($71.5 billion and $17.9 billion, respectively, at September 30, 2010).

The Company’s net profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $6.9 million or $0.51 per share compared to $20.4 million or $1.53 per share in the same period of 2010. Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $729.6 million, a decrease of 1.4% compared to $739.5 million in the same period of 2010.

Principal transactions revenue was $8.2 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared to $22.6 million in the third quarter of 2010, a decrease of 63.6%. The decrease stems from lower income from firm investments (a net loss of $5.5 million for the third quarter of 2011 compared to a net gain of $483,000 for the third quarter of 2010) and lower fixed income trading revenue ($14.6 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared to $21.3 million in the third quarter of 2010).

Other revenue was $5.1 million in the third quarter of 2011, a decrease of 66.7% compared to $15.2 million in the third quarter of 2010 primarily as a result of a $8.1 million decrease in the mark-to-market value of Company-owned life insurance policies that relate to our employee deferred compensation programs (which are largely offset by a decrease in employee compensation liabilities and expense). In addition, fees generated from Oppenheimer Multifamily Housing & Healthcare Finance, Inc. (“OMHHF”) (formerly called Evanston Financial Corporation) decreased by $1.3 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010.

Principal transactions revenue was $32.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $60.8 million in the same period of 2010, a decrease of 46.5%. The decrease stems from lower income from firm investments (a net loss of $6.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to a net gain of $70,000 for the same period of 2010) and lower fixed income trading revenue ($40.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $57.4 million in the same period of 2010) partially as a result of loss of personnel in the loan trading department.
