On December 13, 2011, the Company closed on its acquisition of FundQuest. At that time, $5.8 billion of FundQuest assets previously reported by the Company as AUA were reclassified to AUM. Also during the fourth quarter, one of FundQuest’s clients with $1.5 billion in assets transitioned to licensing for a flat fee and is no longer reflected in the Company’s AUA at December 31, 2011.

Review of Financial Results

The Company’s financial results for 2011 reflect the consolidation of FundQuest for the period December 13, 2011 through December 31, 2011. In connection with the acquisition, the platform services agreement between FundQuest and the Company terminated on December 13, 2011. The termination of the agreement resulted in the elimination of the customer inducement asset and liability previously reflected on the Company’s balance sheet. The acquisition did not have a material impact on the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2011.

Total revenues increased 11% to $30.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2011 from $27.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2010. The increase was primarily due to a 12% increase in revenues from assets under management or administration to $24.6 million from $21.8 million in the prior year period.

Total operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2011 increased 10% to $28.1 million from $25.7 million in the prior year period. After certain non-GAAP adjustments(2) included in our Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation, total operating expenses increased 7% compared to the prior year. Cost of revenues increased 11% to $10.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 from $9.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 due to the increase in revenue from AUM or AUA. Compensation and benefits decreased 2% to $9.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 from $9.8 million in the prior year period. General and administration expenses increased 22% to $6.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 from $5.0 million in the prior year period.

Income from operations was $2.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2011 compared to $1.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2010. Net income attributable to common stockholders was $1.8 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2011 compared to $0.9 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2010.

Adjusted EBITDA(1) in the fourth quarter of 2011 was $6.5 million, up 18% from $5.5 million in the prior year period, reflecting expanding margins. Adjusted Operating Income(1) was $5.1 million, up 18% from $4.3 million in the prior year period. Adjusted Net Income(1) was $3.5 million, compared to $2.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. Adjusted Net Income Per Share(1) was $0.11 per diluted share, compared to $0.08 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2010.
