shares outstanding during the periods. Diluted income per share is computed
using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent
shares outstanding during the periods. Common equivalent shares consist of stock
options and are computed using the treasury stock method.

3. Accounting for Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of (a) temporary differences
between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, and (b) operating and tax
credit carryforwards. Significant components of the Company's net deferred tax
liability consisted of the following:

Revenues
Revenues increased 15.2% from $352.7 million in the third quarter of 1999 to
$406.2 million in the current third quarter and 18.0% from $1,033.0 million in
the first nine months of 1999 to $1,219.0 million in the comparable current
period. Revenue growth was derived from sales to new clients, cross-sales to
existing clients, growth in transaction volume experienced by existing clients,
price increases and revenues from acquired businesses. Revenues from acquired
businesses approximated 45% of total revenue growth in the first nine months of
2000.

Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues increased 13.8% from $288.1 million in the third quarter of
1999 to $328.0 million in the current third quarter, and 16.2% from $845.3
million in the first nine months of 1999 to $982.5 million in the first nine
months of 2000. The make up of cost of revenues has been affected by business
acquisitions, changes in the mix of the Company's business and operational
efficiencies.

Operating Income
Operating income increased 21.1% from $64.6 million in the third quarter of 1999
to $78.2 million in the current third quarter, and increased 26.0% from $187.7
million in the first nine months of 1999 to $236.6 million in the first nine
months of 2000. As a percentage of revenues, operating margins were higher
during both the third quarter and first nine months of 2000 when compared to the
prior year periods due primarily to increased transaction volume and increased
operating leverage of existing operations.

Realized Gain from Sale of Investment
During the first nine months of 2000, the Company sold 200,000 shares of Knight
Trading Group, Inc. resulting in a realized gain of $5.8 million. As of
September 30, 2000, the Company owns 3,204,930 shares of Knight Trading Group,
Inc.

Income Tax Provision
Income taxes were computed at 41% in both 2000 and 1999. The 41% rate is
expected to apply throughout the current year.

Net Income
Net income for the third quarter increased 27.1% from $35.2 million in 1999 to
$44.7 million in 2000. Net income for the first nine months increased 29.1% from
$103.0 million in 1999 to $132.9 million in 2000. Net income per share-diluted
for the third quarter was $0.34 in 2000, before recognizing a $0.01 per share
realized gain from sale of investment, compared to $0.28 in 1999. Net income per
share-diluted for the first nine months of 2000 was $1.02, before recognizing a
$0.03 per share realized gain from sale of investment, compared to $0.81 in the
comparable 1999 period.

Long-term obligations amounted to $466.2 million at September 30, 2000 and
included $369.2 million advanced under an aggregate of $575.0 million in
revolving credit facilities. The Company has used a significant portion of its
cash flow from operations for acquisitions and capital expenditures with any
remainder used to reduce long-term debt. The Company believes that its cash flow
from operations together with other available sources of funds will be adequate
to meet its funding requirements. In the event that the Company makes
significant future acquisitions, however, it may raise funds through additional
borrowings or issuances of securities.
