Item 8.01. Other Events

On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”), which amends ARB 51. SFAS 160 requires reporting entities to present noncontrolling (minority) interests as equity (as opposed to as a liability or mezzanine equity) and provides guidance on the accounting for transactions between an entity and noncontrolling interests. SFAS 160 became effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 160 affected the presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements, primarily by including non-controlling interest as a separate component of stockholders’ equity on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

The presentation herein has been recasted to show the effect of the adoption of SFAS 160 on a retrospective basis.
