1.	Organization and Description of Business

Envestnet, Inc. (“Envestnet”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) provides open-architecture wealth management services and technology to independent financial advisors and financial institutions. These services and related technology are provided via the Company’s Advisor Suite and its Portfolio Management Consultants group. The Company’s headquarters are in Chicago. Principal offices are located in New York, New York; Denver, Colorado; Sunnyvale, California; Boston, Massachusetts; Landis, North Carolina and two locations in Trivandrum, India.

The Company’s Advisor Suite is a platform of integrated, internet-based technology applications and related services that provide portfolio diagnostics, proposal generation, investment model management, rebalancing and trading, portfolio performance reporting and monitoring solutions, billing, and back-office and middle-office operations and administration.

The Company’s investment consulting group, Portfolio Management Consultants, provides investment manager due diligence and research, a full spectrum of investment offerings supported by both proprietary and third-party research, and overlay portfolio management services.

Through these platform and service offerings, the Company provides open-architecture support for a wide range of investment products (separately managed accounts, multi-manager accounts, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, stock baskets, alternative investments, and other fee-based investment solutions) from Portfolio Management Consultants and other leading investment providers via multiple custodians, and also account administration and reporting services.

Envestnet operates three registered investment advisor firms (“RIAs”) and a registered broker-dealer. The RIAs are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The broker-dealer is registered with the SEC, all 50 states and the District of Columbia and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”).

2.	Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of September 30, 2010 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010 have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm. These condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2010 and the results of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the periods presented herein. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2009 was derived from the Company’s audited financial statement for the year ended December 31, 2009 but does not include all disclosures, including notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for other interim periods or for the full fiscal year. Dollar amounts contained in these condensed consolidated financial statements are in thousands, except share and per share amounts.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2009 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form S-1 Registration Statement filed with the SEC.

The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include estimating uncollectible receivables, costs capitalized for internally developed software, valuations and assumptions used for impairment testing of goodwill, intangible and other long-lived assets, fair value of stock and stock options issued, fair value of customer inducement assets and liabilities, realization of deferred tax assets and valuation and other assumptions used to allocate purchase prices in business combinations. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Subsequent Events – The Company follows the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 855, Subsequent Events, which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events than occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued.

Corrections for Prior Period Errors – During the third quarter of 2010, the Company identified an approximate $994 tax error related to preparing the year-end estimated federal net operating loss carryforward for 2007. Accordingly, the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for December 31, 2009 has been adjusted to reduce “Deferred tax assets” by $994 with a corresponding $994 adjustment recorded as an increase to “Accumulated deficit.” The Company also recorded a $994 adjustment to “Accumulated deficit” as of

Envestnet, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)

December 31, 2009 in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity. The correction of this error does not impact the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations or the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows contained in this Form 10-Q and this correction was not considered material to prior period financial statements.

Reclassifications – Certain reclassifications were made to the December 31, 2009 condensed consolidated balance sheet to conform to the 2010 presentation.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that enables vendors to account for products or services sold to customers (deliverables) separately rather than as a combined unit, as was generally required by past guidance. The revised guidance provides for two significant changes to the existing multiple element revenue arrangement guidance. The first change relates to the determination of when individual deliverables included in a multiple element arrangement may be treated as separate units of accounting. The second change modifies the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated across the separately identified deliverables. This guidance also significantly expands the disclosures required for multiple-element revenue arrangements. The guidance is required to be adopted in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, but early adoption is permitted. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that changes the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements so that tangible products containing software components and nonsoftware components that function together to deliver the tangible product’s essential functionality are no longer within the scope of the software revenue guidance in ASC Subtopic 985-605. In addition, this guidance requires hardware components of a tangible product containing software components always be excluded from the software revenue guidance. The guidance is required to be adopted in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, but early adoption is permitted. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

4.	Customer Inducements

Customer inducements assets and the payables consist of the following:


	December 31, 2009		September 30, 2010
Customer inducements assets	$	282	$	30,016


Customer inducements payable:
Current	$	150	$	1,000
Non-current		—		16,878

	$	150	$	17,878

In February 2010, the Company signed a seven-year platform services agreement (the “Agreement”) with FundQuest Incorporated (“FundQuest”), a subsidiary of BNP Paribas Investment Partners. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company provides FundQuest and its clients with the Company’s platform technology and support services, replacing FundQuest’s technology platform. The Company earns fees based upon a contractual percentage of assets under administration.

In connection with the Agreement, the Company is required to make various payments to FundQuest during the contract term as defined in the Agreement. These payments include an up-front payment upon completion of the conversion of FundQuest’s clients’ assets to the Company’s technology platform, five annual payments and a payment after the fifth year of the Agreement calculated based on the average annual revenues the Company receives from FundQuest during the first five years of the contract term. As of September 30, 2010, the estimate of the present value of these payments was approximately $28.7 million. The Company also issued to FundQuest a warrant to purchase 1,388,888 shares of its common stock, with an exercise price of $10.80 for an estimated fair value of $2.9 million as of September 30, 2010 (see Notes 10 and 15).

Fair Value Measurements

Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet are categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy established by U.S. GAAP, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into the following levels:


Level 1:		Inputs based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2:		Quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs that are observable and can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3:		Inputs reflect management’s best estimates and assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the valuation of the instruments.

Fair Value on a Recurring Basis:

The Company periodically invests excess cash in money-market funds not insured by the FDIC. The Company believes that the investments in money market funds are on deposit with creditworthy financial institutions and that the funds are highly liquid. The fair values of the Company’s investments in money-market funds are based on the daily quoted market prices for the net asset value of the various money market funds. These money-market funds are considered Level 1 assets and totaled approximately $18,803 and $51,076 as of December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2010, respectively and are included in cash and cash equivalents in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Investments in mutual funds are quoted based on the daily market prices, are considered Level 1 assets and totaled approximately $72 and $79 as of December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2010, respectively and are included in other non-current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

On February 8, 2010, the Company issued a warrant to FundQuest to acquire a certain amount of the Company’s common stock (Note 4) and was initially recorded as a current liability. The fair value of the warrant was determined using a Black-Scholes valuation model and was considered a Level 3 liability. As a result of the Company’s initial public offering effective July 28, 2010, certain terms of the warrant were determined in accordance with the warrant agreement and the Company reclassified the estimated fair value of the warrant to additional paid-in capital in the three months ended September 30, 2010.

The table below presents a reconciliation of all assets and liabilities of the Company measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the period from December 31, 2009 to September 30, 2010:


	Warrant
Balance at December 31, 2009	$	—
Issuance		2,360

Balance at March 31, 2010		2,360

Balance at June 30, 2010		2,946
Transfer to additional paid in capital		(2,946	)

Balance at September 30, 2010	$	—

Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis:

In addition to assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company is required to record assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis as required by U.S. GAAP. Generally, assets are recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis as a result of impairment charges. Other than as described below, the Company did not measure any significant assets or liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Non-marketable investments, which totaled $1,417 and $1,390 at December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2010, respectively, represent the Company’s investments in privately held companies and alternative investments. Non-marketable investments are priced at cost and reviewed for impairment due to an absence of market activity and market data and are considered Level 3 assets. These investments are included in other non-current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Accrued Expenses

Accrued expenses consist of the following:


	December 31, 2009		September 30, 2010
Accrued investment manager fees	$	5,669	$	6,226
Accrued compensation and related taxes		3,221		3,544

Effective March 31, 2010, the Company closed its Los Angeles office in order to more appropriately align and manage the Company’s resources. As a result, the Company expects to incur total pretax restructuring charges of approximately $1,000 in fiscal 2010. In the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recognized pretax restructuring charges of $96 primarily for relocation expenses and bonuses. In the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recognized pretax restructuring charges of $915 consisting primarily of $451 for accrued lease payments, $368 for relocation expenses and $96 for severance charges. The Company expects to incur an additional $85 of related restructuring expenses through the remainder of 2010, primarily for relocation expenses.

Note Payable

In connection with the acquisition of B-Ready (Note 3), the Company assumed a note payable in the amount of $300 that bears simple interest of 8% per annum. Principal payments of $150 plus interest are due on April 30, 2011 and April 30, 2012. The principal and interest payments may be reduced by a formula as defined in the purchase agreement if the revenue attributable to the B-Ready assets do not meet certain revenue targets as defined in the purchase agreement.

14.

Income Taxes

U.S. GAAP requires the interim period tax provision to be determined as follows:

•

At the end of each quarter, the Company estimates the tax that will be provided for the year stated as a percent of estimated “ordinary” income for the year. The term ordinary income refers to earnings from continuing operations before income taxes, excluding significant unusual or infrequently occurring items.

The estimated annual effective rate is applied to the year-to-date “ordinary” income at the end of each quarter to compute the year-to-date tax applicable to ordinary income. The tax expense or benefit related to ordinary income in each quarter is the difference between the most recent year-to-date and the prior quarter year-to-date comparison.

•

The tax effects of significant unusual or infrequently occurring items are recognized as discrete items in the interim period in which the events occur. The impact of changes in tax laws or rates on deferred tax amounts, the effects of changes in judgment about beginning of the year valuation allowances and change in tax reserves resulting from the finalization of tax audits or reviews are examples of significant unusual or infrequently occurring items that are recognized as discrete items in the interim period in which the event occurs.

The determination of the annual effective tax rate is based upon a number of significant estimates and judgments, including the estimated annual pretax income of the Company and the development of tax planning strategies during the year.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the write-off of notes receivable from Fetter Logic (Note 5) was considered a capital loss for tax purposes. In assessing the realizability of this deferred tax asset, management determined that is was more-likely-than-not that all of this asset would not be realized and accordingly recorded a valuation allowance in the amount of $926. The valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2010 was $2,517 and $3,443, respectively. The valuation allowance as of December 31, 2009 was related to capital losses of $1,230 and Federal and state net operating losses of $1,287 primarily due to Section 382 limitations. The valuation allowance as of September 30, 2010 was related to capital losses of $2,156 and Federal and state net operating losses of $1,287 primarily due to Section 382 limitations.

On July 28, 2010, in connection with the closing of our initial public offering the Company entered into a merger transaction with the Envestnet Shareholder (Note 15). As a result of the merger, the Company recorded post tax net operating losses of $839 for federal and state income tax purposes.

Upon exercise of stock options, the Company recognizes any difference between U.S. GAAP compensation expense and income tax compensation expense as a tax windfall or shortfall. The difference is charged to equity in the case of a windfall. When the exercise results in a windfall and the windfall results in a net operating loss (“NOL”), or the windfall increases an NOL carryforward, no windfall is recognized until the deduction reduces the income tax payable. For U.S. GAAP purposes, the Company has deferred the recognition of approximately $360 in windfall tax benefits associated with its stock-based compensation until a tax cash savings is realized. The benefit will be recorded in stockholder’s equity when utilized on an income tax return to reduce taxes payable, and as such, it will not impact the Company’s effective tax rate.

The total amount of the gross liability for unrecognized tax benefits reported in other non-current liabilities was $475 and $576 at December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2010, respectively. At September 30, 2010, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that would benefit the Company’s effective tax rate, if recognized, was $442.

The Company recognizes potential interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The Company had accrued interest and penalties of $142 as of December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2010, respectively.

The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return and separate tax returns with various states. Additionally, a subsidiary of the Company files a tax return in a foreign jurisdiction. The Company’s tax returns for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009 and nine months ended December 31, 2009 remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service in their entirety. They also remain open with respect to state taxing jurisdictions.

Stockholders’ Equity

On March 24, 2005, in connection with the sale of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B”), the Company issued detachable warrants to holders of Series B to purchase 1,497 shares of Series B at a price of $1,000 per share. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, all of the warrants were exercised and the Company issued 1,497 shares of Series B. During the three months ended March 31, 2010 the Company acquired 122 shares of Series B for approximately $378.

On September 18, 2008, in connection with the sale of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series C”), the Company issued detachable warrants to holders of Series C to purchase 154,548 shares of common stock at a price of $0.05 per share. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, all of the warrants were exercised and the Company issued 154,548 shares of common stock.

The holders of Series C were entitled to receive preferential dividends annually at a rate of 8% of the Series C original issue price, accruing and cumulative from the date of issue, whether or not earned or declared.

On June 29, 2010, in connection with the cashless exercise of 179,624 expiring stock options, the Company repurchased 135,827 shares if its common stock from certain of its former employees for an aggregate purchase price of $1,616 to fund the purchase price and tax obligations of such exercises, resulting in a net issuance of 43,797 shares. Included in the above amounts, were 90,000 expiring stock options from a former officer and director of the Company in which the Company repurchased 63,279 shares for an aggregate purchase price of $753, resulting in a net issuance of 26,721 shares to this former officer and director.

On July 28, 2010, the Company completed its initial public offering whereby the Company sold 4,705,500 shares of common stock for a price of $9.00 per share, which resulted in proceeds, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses, of approximately $42,350.

Upon closing of the Company’s initial public offering:

•

as approved by the Board of Directors on June 22, 2010, one newly issued share of the Company’s stock was exchanged for every five outstanding shares of stock, effective immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Company’s registration statement on July 28, 2010. All share amounts and per share information referenced throughout the condensed consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this reverse stock split.

•

all of the Company’s outstanding Series A, Series B and Series C convertible preferred stock converted into an aggregate 13,002,034 shares of common stock. In addition, the holders of Series C were paid cumulative preferred dividends totaling approximately $1,346.

•

the Envestnet Shareholder merged with and into the Company, with the Company being the surviving entity. Pursuant to the merger, all of the shareholders of the Envestnet Shareholder exchanged their Envestnet Shareholder common shares and preferred shares for 5,160,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

•

each share of the Company’s common and Series A convertible preferred stock held by the Envestnet Shareholder was automatically converted into treasury stock of the Company.

On August 31, 2010, the underwriters exercised their overallotment option to purchase an additional 705,825 shares of common stock from us for a price of $9.00 per share, which resulted in proceeds, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, of approximately $6,352.

In February 2010, the Company issued to FundQuest a warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, with an exercise price to be calculated as 120% of the Company’s initial public offering price per share of the Company’s common stock. As a result, the number of shares and the exercise price were not known at the time of issuance and the estimated fair value was recorded as a liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. As a result of the closing of the Company’s initial public offering, the number of shares of common stock issuable to FundQuest under the warrant was determined to be 1,388,888 shares at an exercise price of $10.80 per share. In addition, the estimated fair value of the warrant at the date of the closing of the Company’s initial public offering of $2,946 was reclassified to additional paid-in capital.

Stock-Based Compensation

On February 3, 2010, the Board of Directors approved an increase to the number of shares of the Company’s common stock available for issuance under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”) by 1,875,230.

On June 22, 2010, the Board of Directors approved the 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2010 Plan”), effective upon the closing of the Company’s initial public offering. The 2010 Plan provides for the grant of options, stock appreciation rights, Full Value Awards (as defined in the 2010 Plan) and cash incentive awards to employees, consultants, and non-employee directors to purchase common stock, which vest immediately or over time and have a ten-year contractual term. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be delivered under the 2010 Plan is equal to the sum of 2,700,000 plus the number of shares of common stock that are subject to outstanding awards under the 2004 Plan which are forfeited, expire or are cancelled after the effective date of the Company’s initial public offering. Stock options and stock appreciation rights are granted with an exercise price no less than the fair-market-value price of the common stock at the date of the grant.

Earnings per Share

Net income per common share reflects the application of the two class method. Under the two class method, net income is allocated between common stock and other participating securities based on their respective participating rights. All classes of convertible preferred stock would participate pro rata in dividends and therefore are considered participating securities. Therefore, the two class method of calculating net income per common share has been applied. Basic net income per common share excludes dilution for potential common stock issuances and is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per common share reflects the potential

Envestnet, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)

dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, unless they are anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, convertible preferred securities are excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share as their inclusion on an as if converted basis would have been anti-dilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the convertible preferred securities are considered anti-dilutive as a result of such securities not having the contractual obligation to participate in losses of the Company. For the calculation of diluted net income per common share, the basic weighted average number of shares is increased by the dilutive effective of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used in computing basic and diluted net income attributable to common stockholders per common share:

Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

On November 23, 2009, the Company sued Fetter Logic, a private company, and its chief executive officer seeking, among other things, unspecified damages for breaches of the investment agreement and operating agreement that the Company had entered into with Fetter Logic in December 2008 and a declaratory judgment that the Company owns certain rights in certain intellectual property. Fetter Logic asserted claims against the Company in a separate suit and in a counterclaim filed on November 30, 2009, for breaches of the investment agreement and operating agreement, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, breach of fiduciary duty, copyright infringement, misappropriation of trade secrets, an accounting, unjust enrichment and a declaratory judgment that Fetter Logic owns all rights in the contested intellectual property. Fetter Logic sought declaratory and injunctive relief, as well as unspecified compensatory and punitive damages. Both cases arose out of (1) an investment agreement, pursuant to which the Company purchased shares in Fetter Logic for approximately $5.7 million, and (2) an operating agreement, under which the parties agreed to integrate their respective software applications and develop and sell joint product offerings. Fetter Logic alleged that the Company did not comply with the terms of the operating agreement to develop joint product offerings, but instead misappropriated Fetter Logic’s intellectual property to develop products for its own benefit.

On July 8, 2010, the Company and Fetter Logic agreed to dismiss their respective lawsuits. In connection with this settlement, none of the parties was required to make any payments to any other party, the Company relinquished its ownership interest in Fetter Logic, as well as operating receivables for services the Company provided during the term of the operating agreement and its rights under a promissory note issued to the Company in December 2009 in connection with its redemption of a portion of its ownership interest in Fetter Logic. In addition, the Company has the right to use any intellectual property developed or obtained by the Company in connection with the operating agreement. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company incurred legal fees of $85 and $1,933, respectively related to this matter.

The Company is also involved in other litigation arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company does not believe that the outcome of any of the aforementioned proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, would, if determined adversely to it, have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition, cash flows or business.

Overview

We are a leading independent provider of technology-enabled, Web-based investment and practice management solutions and operational services to financial advisors. By integrating a wide range of investment solutions and services, our technology platform provides financial advisors with the flexibility to address their clients’ needs. We work with financial advisors who are independent, as well as those who are associated with small or mid-sized financial advisory firms and larger financial institutions, which we refer to as enterprise clients. We focus our technology development efforts and our sales and marketing approach on addressing financial advisors’ front-, middle- and back-office needs. We believe our investment solutions and services allow financial advisors to be more efficient and effective in the activities critical to their businesses by facilitating client interactions, supporting and enhancing portfolio management and analysis, and enabling reliable account support and administration. In addition, we are not controlled by a financial institution, broker-dealer or other entity operating in the securities or wealth management industry, which we believe affords us a greater level of independence and impartiality.

Revenues

Overview

We earn revenues primarily under two pricing models. First, a majority of our revenues are derived from fees charged as a percentage of the assets that are managed or administered on our technology platform by financial advisors. These revenues are recorded under revenues from assets under management or administration. Our asset-based fees vary based on the types of investment solutions and services that financial advisors utilize. Asset-based fees accounted for approximately 74% and 77% of our total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively and 72% and 77% of our total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively. The percentage of our total revenues represented by asset-based fees was lower in 2009 than in 2010 principally due to the significant decline in the market value of the assets on our technology platform resulting from fluctuations in the securities markets, particularly from September 2007 to March 2009. U.S.-based equities appreciated significantly during the second half of 2009 and in the first quarter of 2010 and contributed to an increase in our assets under management or administration, and our resulting revenues from asset-based fees, during the first nine months of 2010. In future periods, the percentage of our total revenues attributable to asset-based fees is expected to vary based on fluctuations in securities markets, whether we enter into significant license agreements, the mix of assets under management, or AUM, and assets under administration, or AUA, and other factors.

Second, we generate revenues from recurring, contractual licensing fees for providing access to our technology platform, generally from a small number of enterprise clients. These revenues are recorded under revenues from licensing and professional services. Licensing fees are generally fixed in nature for the contract term and are based on the level of investment solutions and services provided, rather than on the amount of client assets on our technology platform. Licensing fees accounted for 24% and 19% of our total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively. Licensing fees accounted for 25% and 20% of our total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively. Fees received in connection with professional services accounted for the remainder of our total revenues.

The following table provides information regarding the amount of assets utilizing our platform, financial advisors and investor accounts in the periods indicated. The data shown below beginning June 30, 2010, include the implementation of the FundQuest business on our technology platform.

Note: certain 2009 data have been reclassified between AUM and AUA to conform to current presentation format.

Revenues from assets under management or administration

We generally charge our customers fees based on a higher percentage of the market value of AUM than the fees we charge on the market value of AUA, because we provide fiduciary oversight and/or act as the investment advisor in connection with assets we categorize as AUM. The level of fees varies based on the nature of the investment solutions and services we provide, as well as the specific investment manager, fund and/or custodian chosen by the financial advisor. A portion of our revenues from assets under management or administration include costs paid by us to third parties for sub-advisory, clearing, custody and brokerage services. These expenses are recorded under cost of revenues. We do not have fiduciary responsibility in connection with AUA and, therefore, charge lower fees on these assets. Our fees for AUA vary based on the nature of the investment solutions and services we provide.

For over 85% of our revenues from assets under management or administration, we bill customers at the beginning of each quarter based on the market value of customer assets on our technology platform as of the end of the prior quarter. For example, revenues from assets under management or administration recognized during the third quarter of 2010 were based on the market value of assets as of June 30, 2010. Our revenues from AUA or AUM are generally recognized ratably throughout the quarter based on the number of days in the quarter.

Our revenues from assets under management or administration are also affected by the amount of new assets that are added to existing and new client accounts, which we refer to as gross sales, and the amount of assets that are withdrawn from client accounts, which we refer to as redemptions. We refer to the difference between asset in-flows and out-flows as net flows. Positive net flows indicate that the market value of assets added to client accounts exceeds the market value of assets that have been withdrawn from client accounts.

Our revenues from assets under management or administration are also affected by changes in the market values of securities held in client accounts due to fluctuations in the securities markets. Certain types of securities have historically experienced greater market price fluctuations, such as equity securities, than other securities, such as fixed income securities, though in any given period the nature of securities that experience the greatest fluctuations may vary.

The following table provides information regarding the degree to which gross sales, redemptions, net flows and changes in the market values of assets contributed to changes in AUM or AUA in the periods indicated.


	Asset Rollforward - Three Months Ended September 30, 2010
	As of 6/30/2010		Gross Sales		Redemptions			Net Flows		Market Impact		As of 9/30/10

Assets under Management (AUM)	$	10,269	$	4,123	$	(2,318	)	$	1,805	$	278	$	12,352
Assets under Administration (AUA)		27,322		24,590		(6,065	)		18,525		808		46,655

Subtotal AUM/A	$	37,591	$	28,713	$	(8,383	)	$	20,330	$	1,086	$	59,007

Fee-Based Accounts		175,175		144,585		(34,512	)		110,073				285,248

The increase in net flows and fee-based accounts in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010 was primarily a result of the implementation of FundQuest assets on to our technology platform and are classified as assets under administration. The mix of assets under management and assets under administration was as follows for the periods indicated:


	December 31, 2009			March 31, 2010			June 30, 2010			September 30, 2010
Assets under management (AUM)		27	%		27	%		20	%		21	%
Assets under administration (AUA)		73	%		73	%		80	%		79	%

		100	%		100	%		100	%		100	%

The percentage of assets under management as compared to assets under administration decreased as of September 30, 2010 compared to December 31, 2009 primarily a result of the implementation in the second quarter of 2010 of the FundQuest Incorporated (“FundQuest”), a subsidiary of BNP Paribas Investment Partners assets, which are classified as assets under administration. The nature and type of services requested by our customers are the key drivers in determining whether customer assets are classified as AUM or AUA. Therefore, we do not have direct control over the mix of AUM and AUA.

Revenues from licensing and professional services fees

Our revenues received under license agreements are recognized over the contractual term. In the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, our revenues under license agreements were $4.7 million and $4.8 million, respectively. In the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, our revenues under license agreements were $13.9 million and $14.3 million, respectively.

To a lesser degree we also receive revenues from professional services fees by providing customers with certain technology platform software development services. In the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, our revenues from professional services fees were $0.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively. In the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, our revenues from professional services fees were $1.7 million and $2.0 million, respectively. These revenues are generally recognized on a percentage-of-completion method basis, under which we recognize revenues based upon the number of hours spent providing the services in a given period as a percentage of our estimate for the total number of hours that will be required to complete our obligations under the contract.

We may enter into license agreements in future periods if requested by our customers and commercially attractive to us.

Expenses

The following is a description of our principal expense items.

Cost of revenues

Cost of revenues primarily include expenses related to our receipt of sub-advisory and clearing, custody and brokerage services from third parties. The largest component of cost of revenues, sub-advisory fees paid to third-party investment managers, relates only to AUM since a sub-advisor is not utilized in connection with AUA. Clearing, custody and brokerage services are provided by third-party providers. All of these expenses are typically calculated based upon a contractual percentage of the market value of assets held in customer accounts measured as of the end of each fiscal quarter and are recognized ratably throughout the quarter based on the number of days in the quarter.

Compensation and benefits

Compensation and benefits expenses primarily relate to employee compensation, including salaries, commissions, non-cash stock-based compensation, profit sharing, benefits and employer-related taxes. We expect that the majority of any increase in compensation and benefits expenses in the remainder of 2010 will arise in connection with additional non-cash stock-based compensation and increased headcount to support our growth strategy.

General and administration

General and administration expenses include occupancy costs and expenses relating to communications services, research and data services, website and system development, marketing, professional and legal services and travel and entertainment.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses include depreciation related to:

•

fixed assets, including computer equipment and software, leasehold improvements, office furniture and fixtures and other office equipment;

•

internally developed software; and

•

intangible assets, primarily related to customer lists, the value of which was capitalized in connection with our prior acquisitions.

Furniture and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the depreciable assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated economic useful lives or the remaining lease term, whichever is shorter. Improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance costs are recorded as expenses in the period they are incurred. Assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable.

Internally developed software is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life. We evaluate the useful lives of these assets on an annual basis and test for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets.

Intangible assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated economic useful lives and are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets.

Recent Developments

FundQuest Agreement

In February 2010, we signed a seven-year platform services agreement with FundQuest. Pursuant to this agreement, we will provide FundQuest and its clients with our platform technology and support services, replacing FundQuest’s technology platform. FundQuest will continue to provide investment products to its clients.

In order to support the increase in assets under administration resulting from this agreement, we hired 20 staff from FundQuest to assist us with the ongoing administration of existing and new FundQuest customers. As a result, we expect total compensation and benefits expense, as a percentage of total revenues, to increase by approximately one percentage point.

In connection with this agreement, we agreed to make various payments to FundQuest during the contract term. These payments include an up-front payment upon completion of the conversion of FundQuest’s clients’ assets to our technology platform, five annual payments and a payment after the fifth year of the agreement calculated based on the average annual revenues we receive from FundQuest during the first five years of the contract term. Our current estimate of the present value of these payments is approximately $28.7 million. In connection with the agreement, we also issued FundQuest a warrant to purchase shares of our common stock, with an exercise price to be calculated as 120% of our initial public offering price per share of our common stock with an estimated fair value of $2.9 million. As a result of the closing of our initial public offering, the number of shares of common stock issuable to FundQuest under the warrant was determined to be 1,388,888 shares at an exercise price of $10.80 per share. The present value of all payments and the fair value of the warrant is being accounted for as customer inducement costs and is being amortized as a reduction to our revenues from assets under management or administration on a straight-line basis over the contract term of seven years.

We anticipate that our annual revenues will increase in proportion to the increase in assets under administration resulting from the agreement. The revenue we recognize under this agreement is net of customer inducement amortization of approximately $4.5 million per year. Additionally, we are recognizing approximately $0.8 million of imputed interest expense annually during the term of the agreement. Revenues, customer inducement costs and imputed interest expense may change over the contractual term based upon changes in the net flows relating to new and existing customer accounts and in the market value of customer assets.

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the company recognized customer inducement amortization of approximately $1.1 million and $1.9 million, respectively, and imputed interest expense of $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, related to this agreement.

As a result of the reduction in our revenues due to the amortization of customer inducement costs, cash flows received under this agreement will exceed the recorded value of the revenues we recognize relating to the agreement for any given period during the term of the agreement.

Closure of Los Angeles Office

In January 2010, we announced the closure of our Los Angeles, CA office, effective March 31, 2010, in order to more appropriately align and manage our internal resources. The Los Angeles office was the headquarters of NetAssetManagement, Inc., or NAM, which we acquired in 2004. The office had three primary functional groups: our investment consulting group, Portfolio Management Consultants; operational processing; and technology operations support. In connection with the closure of the Los Angeles office, its investment consulting group functions were transferred to our Chicago headquarters, its operational processing functions were transferred to our Denver operations center and its technical operations support functions were transferred to our Sunnyvale office.

In connection with the closure of the Los Angeles office, we incurred pretax restructuring charges of approximately $0.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010 and $0.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. We expect to incur additional pretax restructuring charges of approximately $0.1 million in the remainder of 2010. Restructuring charges include expenses related to vacating rental office space, relocation expenses and severance charges. The closure of this office and related actions are expected to result in decreased costs in future periods.

Factors Affecting Comparability

We expect our stock-based compensation expense to increase in future periods as a result of our award of 1,875,230 stock options to our employees upon the closing of our initial public offering in August of 2010. In addition, we expect our compensation and benefits and general and administrative expenses to increase as a result of becoming an SEC-reporting company subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the other regulatory requirements applicable to public companies. Accordingly, our results of operations for future periods may not be comparable to our results of operations for the periods under review.

Critical Accounting Estimates

There have been no changes in the matters for which we make critical accounting estimates in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to those disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 and three months ended March 31, 2010 included in our Prospectus dated July 28, 2010.

Revenues

Total revenues increased 25% from $19.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $24.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to an increase in revenues from assets under management or administration of $4.5 million. Revenues from assets under management or administration comprised 74% and 77% of total revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively.

Assets under management or administration

Revenues earned from assets under management or administration increased 31% from $14.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $19.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to an increase in asset values applicable to our quarterly billing cycle in 2010, relative to the corresponding period in 2009. In the third quarter of 2010, revenues were positively affected by new account growth and positive net flows of AUM and AUA during the second quarter of 2010, partially offset by a decrease in the market value of AUM and AUA as of June 30, 2010.

New account growth and positive net flows of AUM and AUA resulted from continued efforts to increase the number of financial advisors and accounts on our technology platform and the implementation of the FundQuest assets onto our technology platform. The number of financial advisors with AUM or AUA that had client accounts on our technology platform increased from 7,834 as of June 30, 2009 to 12,871 as of June 30, 2010 and the number of AUM or AUA client accounts increased from approximately 163,000 as of June 30, 2009 to approximately 275,000 as of June 30, 2010.

In the third quarter of 2009, revenues were negatively affected by the significant market decline that occurred during the first half of 2009, as our third quarter 2009 revenues were driven primarily by the value of AUM and AUA as of June 30, 2009.

Licensing and professional services

Licensing and professional services revenues increased 7% from $5.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $5.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010. This increase was primarily due to an increase in professional services revenue of $0.2 million and an increase in licensing revenue of $0.1 million.

Cost of revenues

Cost of revenues increased 18% from $6.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $7.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010, primarily due to an increase in revenues from assets under management or administration. As a percentage of total revenues, cost of revenues decreased from 32% in the three months ended September 30, 2009 to 30% in the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Compensation and benefits

Compensation and benefits increased 36% from $7.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $9.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010, primarily due to an increase in salaries and commissions of $1.4 million related to an increase in headcount, an increase in non-cash stock based compensation expense of $0.4 million related to the grant of stock options effective the date of our initial public offering, an increase in profit sharing expense of $0.3 million and an increase in severance expense of $0.4 million. Headcount increased from an average of 408 in the three months ended September 30, 2009 to an average of 454 in the three months ended September 30, 2010, primarily due to the hiring of former FundQuest and B-Ready employees in the second quarter of 2010. As a percentage of total revenues, compensation and benefits increased from 37% in the three months ended September 30, 2009 to 40% in the three months ended September 30, 2010.

General and administration

General and administration expenses increased 21% from $3.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $4.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010, primarily due to increases in communication, research and data services expense of $0.2 million, insurance and bank fees of $0.2 million, marketing expenses of $0.1 million, travel related expenses of $0.1 million and professional fees of $0.1 million. As a percentage of total revenues, general and administration expenses decreased from 19% in the three months ended September 30, 2009 to 18% in the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased 24% from $1.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $1.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010, primarily due to an increase in fixed asset depreciation and amortization of $0.2 million. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due to increases in computer equipment and software to support the growth of our operations. As a percentage of total revenues, depreciation and amortization remained flat at 6% in both periods.

Restructuring charges

Effective March 31, 2010, we closed our Los Angeles office in order to more appropriately align and manage our resources and incurred restructuring charges of approximately $0.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010. These expenses primarily related to $0.1 million for relocation expenses and bonuses. We expect to incur an additional $0.1 million of expenses relating to the closure of our Los Angeles office during the remainder of 2010.

Interest expense

Interest expense increased from $0.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $0.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010, primarily due to imputed interest on the payments due to FundQuest. See note 4 to the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenues

Total revenues increased 26% from $56.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to $70.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to an increase in revenues from assets under management or administration of $13.7 million. Revenues from assets under management or administration comprised 72% and 77% of total revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively.

Assets under management or administration

Revenues earned from assets under management or administration increased 34% from $40.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to $54.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to an increase in asset values applicable to our quarterly billing cycles in 2010, relative to the corresponding periods in 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, revenues were positively affected by new account growth and positive net flows of AUM and AUA during the fourth quarter of 2009 through June 30, 2010, as well an increase in the market value of AUM and AUA from the fourth quarter of 2009 to June 30, 2010.

New account growth and positive net flows of AUM and AUA resulted from continued efforts to increase the number of financial advisors and accounts on our technology platform and the implementation of the FundQuest assets on to our technology platform. The number of financial advisors with AUM or AUA that had client accounts on our technology platform increased from 7,771 as of December 31, 2008 to 12,871 as of June 30, 2010 and the number of AUM or AUA client accounts increased from approximately 159,000 as of December 31, 2008 to approximately 275,000 as of June 30, 2010.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2009, revenues were negatively affected by the significant market decline that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2008 and first quarter of 2009, as the revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were driven primarily by the value of AUM and AUA as of December 31, 2008, March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010.

Licensing and professional services

Licensing and professional services revenues increased 4% from $15.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to $16.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This increase was due to an increase in licensing revenue of $0.4 million and an increase in professional services revenue of $0.3 million.

Cost of revenues

Cost of revenues increased 25% from $17.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to $22.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, primarily due to an increase in revenues from assets under management or administration. As a percentage of total revenues, cost of revenues decreased from 32% in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to 31% in the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Compensation and benefits

Compensation and benefits increased 29% from $21.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to $27.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, primarily due to an increase in salaries and commissions of $4.2 million related to an increase in headcount, an increase in non-cash stock based compensation expense of $0.5 million primarily due to the grant of stock options effective the date of our initial public offering, an increase in benefits and payroll taxes of $0.5 million, an increase in profit sharing expense of $0.5 million and an increase in severance expense of $0.4 million. Headcount increased from an average of 408 in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to an average of 432 in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, primarily due to the hiring of former FundQuest and B-Ready employees in the second quarter of 2010. As a percentage of total revenues, compensation and benefits increased slightly from 38% in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to 39% in the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

General and administration

General and administration expenses increased 53% from $10.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to $16.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, primarily due to an increase in bad debt expense of $2.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 related to the uncollectible portion of accounts and notes receivable from Fetter Logic (see note 5 to the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements) and increased legal fees related to the Fetter Logic litigation of $1.9 million (see note 18 to the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements). As a percentage of total revenues, general and administration expenses increased from 19% in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to 24% in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Excluding bad debt expense of $2.7 million and legal fees of $1.9 million related to the Fetter Logic litigation, general and administration expenses as a percentage of total revenues would have been 17% in the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased 28% from $3.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to $4.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, primarily due to an increase in fixed asset depreciation and amortization of $0.7 million. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due to increases in capitalized leasehold improvements and computer equipment and software to support the growth of our operations. As a percentage of total revenues, depreciation and amortization remained flat at 6% in both periods.

Restructuring charges

Effective March 31, 2010, we closed our Los Angeles office in order to more appropriately align and manage our resources and incurred restructuring charges of approximately $0.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. These expenses related to vacating rental office space, relocation expenses and severance charges. We expect to incur an additional $0.1 million of expenses relating to the closure of our Los Angeles office during the remainder of 2010.

Interest expense

Interest expense increased from $0.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to $0.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, primarily due to imputed interest on the payments due to FundQuest. See note 4 to the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 differs from the statutory rate primarily as a result of the establishment of a full income tax valuation allowance of the deferred tax asset created as a result of the write-off of notes receivable from Fetter Logic (see note 5 to the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements) that is considered a capital loss for income tax purposes, as well as the effect of state taxes and permanent differences.

Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2009		2010		2009		2010
	(in thousands, unaudited)
Adjusted EBITDA	$	2,722	$	5,018	$	7,031	$	12,568
Adjusted operating income		1,555		3,567		3,741		8,358
Adjusted net income		975		2,126		2,472		5,143
Adjusted net income per share		0.03		0.07		0.07		0.16

“Adjusted EBITDA” represents net income (loss) before interest income, interest expense, net income tax provision (benefit), depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, unrealized gain (loss) on investments, impairment of investments, restructuring charges, severance, bad debt expense, customer inducement costs and litigation related expense.

“Adjusted operating income” represents income (loss) from operations before non-cash stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, severance, bad debt expense, customer inducement costs and litigation related expense.

“Adjusted net income” represents net income (loss) before non-cash stock-based compensation expense, impairment of investments, restructuring expense, severance, bad debt expense, customer inducement costs, imputed interest expense and litigation related expense. Reconciling items are tax effected using the income tax rates in effect on the applicable date.

“Adjusted net income per share” represents adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders divided by the diluted number of weighted-average shares outstanding.

Our Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and our management use adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share:

•

As measures of operating performance;

•

For planning purposes, including the preparation of annual budgets;

•

To allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of our business;

•

To evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies; and

•

In communications with our Board of Directors concerning our financial performance.

Our Compensation Committee and our management may also consider adjusted EBITDA, among other factors, when determining management’s incentive compensation in 2010.

We also present adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share as supplemental performance measures because we believe that they provide our Board of Directors, management and investors with additional information to assess our performance. Adjusted EBITDA provides comparisons from period to period by excluding potential differences caused by variations in the age and book depreciation of fixed assets affecting relative depreciation expense and amortization of internally developed software, amortization of customer inducement costs, impairment of investments, impairment of goodwill, litigation-related expense, bad debt expense, severance, unrealized income (loss) on investments, and changes in interest expense and interest income that are influenced by capital structure decisions and capital market conditions. Our management also believes it is useful to exclude non-cash stock-based compensation expense from adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income and adjusted net income because non-cash equity grants made at a certain price and point in time do not necessarily reflect how our business is performing at any particular time.

We believe adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share are useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because securities analysts use adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share as supplemental measures to evaluate the overall performance of companies, and we anticipate that our investor and analyst presentations will include adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share.

Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share are not measurements of our financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our profitability or liquidity.

We understand that, although adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share are frequently used by securities analysts and others in their evaluation of companies, these measures have limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. In particular you should consider:

•

Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

•

Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

•

Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share do not reflect non-cash components of employee compensation;

•

Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized often will have to be replaced in the future, and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

•

Due to either net losses before income tax expenses or the use of federal and state net operating loss carryforwards in 2009 and 2010 we had cash income tax payments of $0.2 million and $0.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively. Income tax payments will be higher if we continue to generate taxable income and our existing net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state income taxes have been fully utilized or have expired; and

•

Other companies in our industry may calculate adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.

Management compensates for the inherent limitations associated with using adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share through disclosure of such limitations, presentation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share to net income and net income per share, the most

directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, and adjusted operating income to income from operations, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. Further, our management also reviews U.S. GAAP measures and evaluates individual measures that are not included in some or all of our non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, such as our level of capital expenditures and interest income, among other measures.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since our inception, our operations have been financed through cash flows from operations and private sales of our capital stock. Through September 30, 2010, we had received net cash proceeds of approximately $113 million through equity financings and from the exercise of options to purchase our common stock. As of September 30, 2010, we had total cash and cash equivalents of $63.6 million compared to $31.5 million as of December 31, 2009.

Additionally, in connection with our initial public offering of common stock (including the exercise of the underwriter’s overallotment option), we received net proceeds of approximately $42.1 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering costs, which is included in the $63.6 million noted above.

Cash Flows

The following table presents information regarding our cash flows and cash and cash equivalents for the periods indicated:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2009			2010
	(In thousands, unaudited)
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	3,880		$	(3,981	)
Net cash (used in) investing activities		(3,825	)		(4,336	)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities		(245	)		40,357
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents		(190	)		32,040
Cash and cash equivalents, end of period		28,255			63,565

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 decreased by $7.9 million compared to the same period in 2009, primarily due to an upfront payment of $10.3 million to FundQuest in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 (see note 4 to the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements), partially offset by an increase in non-cash bad debt expense of $2.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 related to the uncollectible portion of accounts and notes receivable from Fetter Logic (see note 5 to the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements).

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased by $0.5 million compared to the same period in 2009. Cash disbursements in 2010 and 2009 totaled $4.3 million and $3.5 million, respectively, for purchases of property and equipment and capitalization of internally developed software. Additionally, the company acquired B-Ready and M3 for cash totaling $0.9 million offset by proceeds from the repayment of notes receivable of $1.0 million.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased by $40.6 million compared to the same period in 2009, primarily due to the receipt of net proceeds of $42.1 million from our initial public offering after deducting underwriting discounts and offering costs, net proceeds of $1.5 million from the exercise of warrants and net proceeds of $1.3 million from the exercise of stock options, partially offset by $3.2 million used in purchases of our common stock in 2010. In 2009, we purchased $0.2 million of our common stock.

We believe that our current level of cash generation, together with our existing current assets and the net proceeds from our initial public offering will adequately support our operations and capital expenditures over the next 12 months.

Commitments

The following table sets forth information regarding our contractual obligations as of September 30, 2010:


	Payments Due by Period

(1)	We lease facilities under non-cancelable operating leases expiring at various dates through 2020.

The table above does not reflect the following:

•

Amounts estimated for uncertain tax positions since the timing and likelihood of such payments cannot be reasonably estimated.

•

Voluntary employer matching contributions to our defined contribution benefit plans since the amount cannot be reasonably estimated. For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, we made voluntary employer matching contributions of $0.2 million, $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance that enables vendors to account for products or services sold to customers (deliverables) separately rather than as a combined unit, as was generally required by past guidance. The revised guidance provides for two significant changes to the existing multiple element revenue arrangement guidance. The first change relates to the determination of when individual deliverables included in a multiple element arrangement may be treated as separate units of accounting. The second change modifies the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated across the separately identified deliverables. This guidance also significantly expands the disclosures required for multiple-element revenue arrangements. The guidance is required to be adopted in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, but early adoption is permitted. We do not anticipate that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that changes the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements so that tangible products containing software components and nonsoftware components that function together to deliver the tangible product’s essential functionality are no longer within the scope of the software revenue guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 985-605. In addition, this guidance requires hardware components of a tangible product containing software components always be excluded from the software revenue guidance. The guidance is required to be adopted in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, but early adoption is permitted. We do not anticipate that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk

Our exposure to market risk is directly related to revenues from asset management or administration services earned based upon a contractual percentage of AUM or AUA. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, 77% of our revenues were derived from revenues based on the market value of AUM or AUA. We expect this percentage to vary over time. A decrease in the aggregate value of AUM or AUA may cause our revenue and income to decline.

Foreign currency risk

The expenses of our India subsidiary, which primarily consist of expenditures related to compensation and benefits, are paid using the Indian Rupee. We are directly exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates through the translation of these monthly expenditures into U.S. dollars. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, we estimate that a hypothetical 10% increase in the value of the Indian Rupee to the U.S. dollar would result in a decrease of $0.1 million to pre-tax earnings and a hypothetical 10% decrease in the value of the Indian Rupee to the U.S. dollar would result in a $0.1 million increase to pre-tax earnings. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we estimate that a hypothetical 10% increase in the value of the Indian Rupee to the U.S. dollar would result in a decrease of $0.3 million to pre-tax earnings and a hypothetical 10% decrease in the value of the Indian Rupee to the U.S. dollar would result in a $0.2 million increase to pre-tax earnings.

Interest rate risk

We have no floating interest rate debt and therefore we are not directly exposed to interest rate risk.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures”, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Our disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to meet the reasonable assurance standards. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Based on their evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that as of September 30, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

On November 23, 2009, we sued Fetter Logic, Inc., or Fetter Logic, and David Fetter, its chief executive officer, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. Our complaint sought, among other things, unspecified damages for breaches of the investment agreement and operating agreement that we entered into with Fetter Logic, described below, and a declaratory judgment that we own certain rights in certain intellectual property. Fetter Logic asserted claims against us in a separate suit and in a counterclaim filed November 30, 2009, and subsequently moved to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, for breaches of the investment agreement and operating agreement, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, breach of fiduciary duty, copyright infringement, misappropriation of trade secrets, an accounting, unjust enrichment and a declaratory judgment that Fetter Logic owns all rights in the contested intellectual property. Fetter Logic sought declaratory and injunctive relief, as well as unspecified compensatory and punitive damages. Both cases arose out of (1) an investment agreement, pursuant to which we purchased shares in Fetter Logic for approximately $5.7 million, and (2) an operating agreement, under which the parties agreed to integrate their respective software applications and develop and sell joint product offerings. Fetter Logic alleged that we did not comply with the terms of the operating agreement to develop joint product offerings, but instead misappropriated Fetter Logic’s intellectual property to develop products for our own benefit.

On July 8, 2010, the parties to the aforementioned litigation agreed to dismiss their respective lawsuits. In connection with this settlement, none of the parties was required to make any payments to any other party, we relinquished our ownership interest in Fetter Logic, as well as operating receivables for services we provided during the term of the operating agreement and our rights under a promissory note issued to us in December 2009 in connection with our redemption of a portion of our ownership interest in Fetter Logic. In addition, we have the right to use any intellectual property developed or obtained by us in connection with the aforementioned operating agreement.

We are also involved in other litigation arising in the ordinary course of our business. We do not believe that the outcome of any of the aforementioned proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, would, if determined adversely to us, have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risk factors set forth below, and this quarterly report should be read in conjunction with such risk factors. The risks and uncertainties described in this quarterly report are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also affect our business. If any of these known or unknown risks or uncertainties actually occurs on our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Risks Related to Our Business

We have experienced rapid revenue growth over the past several years, which may be difficult to sustain and which may place significant demands on our administrative, operational and financial resources and any inability to maintain or manage our growth could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.

Our revenues during the five years ended December 31, 2009 have grown at a compound annual growth rate of 18%. We expect our growth to continue, which could place additional demands on our resources and increase our expenses. Our future growth will depend on, among other things, our ability to successfully grow our total assets under management and administration and add additional clients. If we are unable to implement our growth strategy, develop new investment solutions and services and gain new clients, our results of operations, financial condition or business may be materially adversely affected.

Sustaining growth will also require us to commit additional management, operational and financial resources and to maintain appropriate operational and financial systems. In addition, continued growth increases the challenges involved in:

•

Recruiting, training and retaining sufficiently skilled technical, marketing, sale and management personnel;

•

Preserving our culture, values and entrepreneurial environment;

•

Successfully expanding the range of investment solutions and services offered to our clients;

•

developing and improving our internal administrative infrastructure, particularly our financial, operational, compliance, record-keeping, communications and other internal systems; and

•

maintaining high levels of satisfaction with our investment solutions and services among clients.

that we will be able to maintain or accelerate our growth, and any failure to do so could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or business.

Our revenue can fluctuate from period to period, which could cause our share price to fluctuate.

Our revenue may fluctuate from period-to-period in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control. Factors relating to our business that may contribute to these fluctuations include the following events, as well as other factors described elsewhere in this prospectus:

•

a decline or slowdown of the growth in the value of financial market assets, which may reduce the value of assets under management and administration and therefore our revenues and cash flows;

•

negative public perception and reputation of the financial services industry, which would reduce demand for our investment solutions and services;

•

unanticipated changes to economic terms in contracts with clients, including renegotiations;

•

downward pressure on fees we charge our clients, which would therefore reduce our revenue;

•

changes in laws or regulations that could impact our ability to offer investment solutions and services;

•

failure to obtain new clients;

•

cancellation or non-renewal of existing contracts with clients;

•

failure to protect our proprietary technology and intellectual property rights;

•

unanticipated delays in connection with the conversion of client assets onto our technology platform;

•

reduction in the suite of investment solutions and services provided to existing clients; or

•

changes in our pricing policies or the pricing policies of our competitors to which we have to adapt.

As a result of these and other factors, the results of operations for any quarterly or annual period may differ materially from the results of operations for any prior or future quarterly or annual period and should not be relied upon as indications of our future performance.

We operate in a highly competitive industry, with many firms competing for business from financial advisors on the basis of a number of factors, including the quality and breadth of investment solutions and services, ability to innovate, reputation and the prices of services and this competition could hurt our financial performance.

We compete with many different types of companies that vary in size and scope, including Pershing LLC (a subsidiary of BNY Mellon Corporation), The Charles Schwab Corporation, SEI Investments Company, Genworth Financial Inc. and Lockwood Advisors (a subsidiary of BNY Mellon Corporation) and which are discussed in greater detail under “Business—Competition” included in our “Prospectus” filed with the SEC on July 28, 2010. In addition, some of our clients have developed or may develop the in-house capability to provide the technology and/or investment advisory services they have retained us to perform. These clients may also offer internally developed services to their financial advisors, obviating the need to hire us, and they may offer these services to third-party financial advisors or financial institutions, thereby competing directly with us for that business.

Many of our competitors have significantly greater resources than we do. These resources may allow our competitors to respond more quickly to changes in demand for investment solutions and services, to devote greater resources to developing and promoting their services and to make more attractive offers to potential clients and strategic partners, which could hurt our financial performance.

We may lose clients as a result of the sale or merger of a client, a change in a client’s senior management, competition from other financial advisors and financial institutions and for other reasons. We also face increased competition due to the current trend of industry consolidation. If large financial institutions that are not our clients are able to attract assets from our clients, our ability to generate future growth in revenues and earnings may be adversely affected.

Our failure to successfully compete in any of the above-mentioned areas could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business. Competition could also affect the revenue mix of services we provide, resulting in decreased revenues in lines of business with higher profit margins.

We derive nearly all of our revenues from the delivery of investment solutions and services to clients in the financial advisory industry and our revenue could suffer if that industry experiences a downturn.

We derive nearly all of our revenues from the delivery of investment solutions and services to clients in the financial advisory industry and we are therefore subject to the risks affecting that industry. A decline or lack of growth in demand for financial advisory

services would adversely affect our clients and, in turn, our results of operations, financial condition and business. For example, the availability of free or low-cost investment information and resources, including research and information relating to publicly traded companies and mutual funds available on the Internet or on company websites, could lead to lower demand by investors for the services provided by financial advisors. In addition, demand for our investment solutions and services among financial advisors could decline for many reasons. Consolidation or limited growth in the financial advisory industry could reduce the number of our clients and potential clients. Events that adversely affect our clients’ businesses, rates of growth or the numbers of customers they serve, including decreased demand for our clients’ products and services, adverse conditions in our clients’ markets or adverse economic conditions generally, could decrease demand for our investment solutions and services and thereby decrease our revenues. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.

A limited number of clients account for a material portion of our revenue. Termination of our contracts with any of these clients could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.

For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009 and for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, revenues associated with our relationship with our single largest client, FMR LLC, an affiliate of FMR Corp., or Fidelity, accounted for 14%, 27%, 31%, 34%, 31%, 31% and 32% respectively, of our total revenues and our ten largest clients accounted for 58%, 63%, 66%, 67%, 64%, 66%, and 63% respectively, of our total revenues. Our license agreements with large financial institutions are generally multi-year contracts that may be terminated upon the expiration of the contract term or prior to such time for cause, which may include breach of contract, bankruptcy, insolvency and other reasons. Our license agreement with Fidelity does not have a specified term, but the license fee payments made to us by Fidelity under the license agreement cease on December 31, 2011. At such time, we will still receive ongoing platform services fees through the Fidelity relationship based upon usage, which include fees for ongoing technology services and software updates. A majority of our agreements with financial advisors generally provide for termination at any time. If our contractual relationship with Fidelity were to terminate, or if a significant number of our most important clients were to terminate their contracts with us and we were unable to obtain a significant number of new clients, our results of operations, financial condition or business could be materially adversely affected.

Our clients that pay us an asset-based fee may seek to negotiate a lower fee percentage or may cease using our services, which could limit the growth of, or decrease, our revenues.

A significant portion of our revenues are derived from asset-based fees. Our clients may, for a number of reasons, seek to negotiate a lower asset-based fee percentage. For example, an increase in the use of index-linked investment products by the clients of our financial advisor clients may result in lower fees being paid to our clients, and our clients may in turn seek to negotiate lower asset-based fee percentages for our services. In addition, as competition among our clients increases, they may be required to lower the fees they charge to their clients, which could cause them to seek to decrease our fees accordingly. Any of these factors could result in fluctuation or a decline in our asset-based fees, which would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.

Changes in market and economic conditions could lower the value of assets on which we earn revenues and could decrease the demand for our investment solutions and services.

Asset-based fees make up a significant portion of our revenues and several of our largest clients pay us on this basis. Asset-based fees represented 88%, 78%, 73%, 74% and 77% of our total revenues in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009 and in the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively and 72% and 77% in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively. In addition, as a result of the current trend of increased use of financial advisors by individual investors, we expect that asset-based fees will account for an increasing percentage of our total revenues in the future. Significant fluctuations in securities prices may materially affect the value of the assets managed by our clients and may also influence financial advisor and investor decisions regarding whether to invest in, or maintain an investment in, a mutual fund or other investment solution. If such market fluctuation led to less investment in the securities markets, our revenues and earnings derived from asset-based fees could be materially adversely affected.

We provide our investment solutions and services to the financial services industry. The financial markets, and in turn the financial services industry, are affected by many factors, such as U.S. and foreign economic conditions and general trends in business and finance that are beyond our control. In the event that the U.S. or international financial markets suffer a severe or prolonged downturn, investors may choose to withdraw assets from financial advisors and transfer them to investments that are perceived to be more secure, such as bank deposits and Treasury securities. For example, in late 2007 and through the first quarter of 2009, the financial markets experienced a broad and prolonged downturn, our redemption rates were higher than our historical average, and our results of operations, financial condition and business were materially adversely affected. Any prolonged downturn in financial markets, or increased levels of asset withdrawals could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.

Investors’ decisions regarding their investment assets are affected by many factors and investors may redeem or withdraw their investment assets generally at any time. Significant changes in investing patterns or large-scale withdrawal of investment funds could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.

The clients of our financial advisors are generally free to change financial advisors, forgo the advice and other services provided by financial advisors or withdraw the funds they have invested with financial advisors. These clients of financial advisors may elect to change their investment strategies, including by moving their assets away from equity securities to fixed income or other investment options, or by withdrawing all or a portion of their assets from their accounts to avoid all securities markets-related risks. These actions by investors are outside of our control and could materially adversely affect the market value of the investment assets that our clients manage, which could materially adversely affect the asset-based fees we receive from our clients.

We are subject to liability for losses that result from a breach of our fiduciary duties.

Our investment advisory services involve fiduciary obligations that require us to act in the best interests of our clients, and we may be sued and face liabilities for actual or claimed breaches of our fiduciary duties. Because we provide investment advisory services, both directly and indirectly, with respect to substantial assets, we could face substantial liability to our clients if it is determined that we have breached our fiduciary duties. In certain circumstances, which generally depend on the types of investment solutions and services we are providing, we may enter into client agreements jointly with advisors and retain third-party investment money managers on behalf of clients. As a result, we may be included as a defendant in lawsuits against financial advisors and third-party investment money managers that involve claims of breaches of the duties of such persons, and we may face liabilities for the improper actions and/or omissions of such advisors and third-party investment money managers. In addition, we may face claims based on the results of our investment advisory recommendations, even in the absence of a breach of our fiduciary duty. Such claims and liabilities could therefore have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.

We are subject to liability for losses that result from potential, perceived or actual conflicts of interest.

Potential, perceived and actual conflicts of interest are inherent in our existing and future business activities and could give rise to client dissatisfaction, litigation or regulatory enforcement actions. In particular, we pay varying fees to third-party asset managers and custodians and our financial advisor customers, or their clients, could accuse us of directing them toward those asset managers or custodians that charge us the lowest fees. In addition, we offer proprietary mutual funds and portfolios of mutual funds through our internal investment management and portfolio consulting group, and financial advisors or their clients could conclude that we favor our proprietary investment products because of their belief that we earn higher fees when our proprietary investment products are used. Adequately addressing conflicts of interest is complex and difficult and if we fail, or appear to fail, to adequately address potential, perceived or actual conflicts of interest, the resulting negative public perception and reputational harm could materially adversely affect our client relations or ability to enter into contracts with new clients and, consequently, our results of operations, financial condition and business.

If our reputation is harmed, our results of operations, financial condition or business could be materially adversely affected.

Our reputation, which depends on earning and maintaining the trust and confidence of our clients, is critical to our business. Our reputation is vulnerable to many threats that can be difficult or impossible to control, and costly or impossible to remediate. Regulatory inquiries or investigations, lawsuits initiated by our clients, employee misconduct, perceptions of conflicts of interest and rumors, among other developments, could substantially damage our reputation, even if they are baseless or satisfactorily addressed. In addition, any perception that the quality of our investment solutions and services may not be the same or better than that of other providers can also damage our reputation. Any damage to our reputation could harm our ability to attract and retain clients, which would materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and business.

If our investment solutions and services fail to perform properly due to undetected errors or similar problems, our results of operations, financial condition and business could be materially adversely affected.

Investment solutions and services we develop or license may contain undetected errors or defects despite testing. Such errors can exist at any point in the life cycle of our investment solutions or services, but are frequently found after introduction of new investment solutions and services or enhancements to existing investment solutions or services. We continually introduce new investment solutions and services and new versions of our investment solutions and services. Despite internal testing and testing by current and potential clients, our current and future investment solutions and services may contain serious defects or malfunctions. If we detect any errors before release, we might be required to delay the release of the investment solution or service for an extended period of time while we address the problem. We might not discover errors that affect our new or current investment solutions, services or enhancements until after they are deployed, and we may need to provide enhancements to correct such errors. Errors may occur that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business and could result in harm to our reputation, lost sales, delays in commercial release, third-party claims, contractual disputes, contract terminations or renegotiations, or unexpected expenses and diversion of management and other resources to remedy errors. In addition, negative public perception and reputational damage caused by such claims would adversely affect our client relationships and our ability to enter into new contracts. Any of these problems could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and business.

We could face liability or incur costs to remediate operational errors or to address possible customer dissatisfaction.

Operational risk generally refers to the risk of loss resulting from our operations, including, but not limited to, improper or unauthorized execution and processing of transactions, deficiencies in our operating systems, business disruptions and inadequacies or breaches in our internal control processes. We operate in diverse markets and are reliant on the ability of our employees and systems to process large volumes of transactions often within short time frames. In the event of a breakdown or improper operation of systems, human error or improper action by employees, we could suffer financial loss, regulatory sanctions or damage to our reputation.

In addition, there may be circumstances when our customers are dissatisfied with our investment solutions and services, even in the absence of an operational error. In such circumstances, we may elect to make payments or otherwise incur increased costs or lower revenues in order to maintain a strong customer relationship. In any of the forgoing circumstances, our results of operations, financial condition or business could be materially adversely affected.

We may become subject to liability based on the use of our investment solutions and services by our clients.

Our investment solutions and services support the investment processes of our clients, which, in the aggregate, manage billions of dollars of assets. Our client agreements have provisions designed to limit our exposure to potential liability claims brought by our clients or third parties based on the use of our investment solutions and services. However, these provisions have certain exceptions and could be invalidated by unfavorable judicial decisions or by federal, state, foreign or local laws. Use of our products as part of the investment process creates the risk that clients, or the parties whose assets are managed by our clients, may pursue claims against us for very significant dollar amounts. Any such claim, even if the outcome were to be ultimately favorable to us, would involve a significant commitment of our management, personnel, financial and other resources and could have a negative impact on our reputation. Such claims and lawsuits could therefore have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.

Furthermore, our clients may use our investment solutions and services together with software, data or products from other companies. As a result, when problems occur, it might be difficult to identify the source of the problem. Even when our investment solutions and services do not cause these problems, the existence of these errors might cause us to incur significant costs and divert the attention of our management and technical personnel, any of which could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or business.

Our business relies heavily on computer equipment, electronic delivery systems and the Internet. Any failures or disruptions in such technologies could result in reduced revenues, increased costs and the loss of customers.

Our business relies heavily on our computer equipment (including our servers), electronic delivery systems and the Internet, but these technologies are vulnerable to disruptions, failures or slowdowns caused by fire, earthquake, power loss, telecommunications failure, terrorist attacks, wars, Internet failures, computer viruses and other events beyond our control. Furthermore, we rely on agreements with our suppliers, such as our current data hosting and service provider, to provide us with access to certain computer equipment, electric delivery systems and the Internet. We are unable to predict whether a future contractual dispute may arise with one of our suppliers that could cause a disruption in service, or whether our agreements with our suppliers can be obtained or renewed on acceptable terms, or at all. An unanticipated disruption, failure or slowdown affecting our key technologies or facilities may have significant ramifications, such as data-loss, data corruption, damaged software codes or inaccurate processing of transactions. We maintain off-site back-up facilities for our electronic information and computer equipment, but these facilities could be subject to the same interruptions that may affect our primary facilities. Any significant disruptions, failures, slowdowns, data-loss or data corruption could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business and result in the loss of customers.

We could face liability related to disclosure or theft of the personal information we store on our technology platform.

Clients may maintain personal investment and financial information on our technology platform and we could be subject to liability if we were to inappropriately disclose any user’s personal information, inadvertently or otherwise, or if third parties were able to penetrate our network security or otherwise gain access to any user’s name, address, portfolio holdings or other financial information. Any such event could subject us to claims for misuses of personal information, such as unauthorized marketing or unauthorized access to personal portfolio information could therefore have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.

We could incur significant costs protecting the personal information we store on our technology platform.

Users of our investment solutions and services are located in the United States and around the world. As a result, we collect and store the personal information of individuals who live in many different countries. Privacy regulators in some of those countries have publicly stated that foreign entities (including entities based in the United States) may render themselves subject to those countries’ privacy laws and the jurisdiction of such regulators by collecting or storing the personal data of those countries’ residents, even if such entities have no physical or legal presence there. Consequently, we may be obligated to comply with the privacy and data security laws of such foreign countries. Our exposure to foreign countries’ privacy and data security laws impacts our ability to collect and use personal information, increases our legal compliance costs and may expose us to liability.

We have incurred, and will continue to incur, expenses to comply with privacy and security standards and protocols imposed by law, regulation, industry standards or contractual obligations. Increased domestic or international regulation of data utilization and distribution practices could require us to modify our operations and incur significant additional expense, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.

We could face liability for certain information we provide, including information based on data we obtain from other parties.

We may be subject to claims for securities law violations, negligence, breach of fiduciary duties or other claims relating to the information we provide. For example, individuals may take legal action against us if they rely on information we have provided and it contains an error. In addition, we could be subject to claims based upon the content that is accessible from our website through links to other websites. Moreover, we could face liability based on inaccurate information provided to us by others. Defending any such claims could be expensive and time-consuming, and any such claim could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or business.

We depend on our senior management team and other key personnel and the loss of their services could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.

We depend on the efforts, relationships and reputations of our senior management team and other key personnel, including Judson Bergman, our Chief Executive Officer, William Crager, our President, and Scott Grinis, our Chief Technology Officer, in order to successfully manage our business. We believe that success in our business will continue to be based upon the strength of our intellectual capital. The loss of the services of any member of our senior management team or of other key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.

Our operations are subject to extensive government regulation, and compliance failures or regulatory action against us could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or business.

The financial services industry is among the most extensively regulated industries in the United States. We operate investment advisory, broker-dealer and mutual fund businesses, each of which is subject to a specific and extensive regulatory scheme. In addition, we are subject to numerous laws and regulations of general application. It is very difficult to predict the future impact of the legislative and regulatory requirements affecting our business and our clients’ businesses.

Certain of our subsidiaries are registered as “investment advisers” with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and are regulated thereunder. In addition, many of our investment advisory services are conducted pursuant to the non-exclusive safe harbor from the definition of an “investment company” provided under Rule 3a-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. If Rule 3a-4 were to cease to be available, or if the Securities and Exchange Commission were to modify the rule or its interpretation of how the rule is applied, our business could be adversely affected. Certain of our registered investment adviser subsidiaries provide advice to mutual fund clients. Mutual funds are registered as “investment companies” under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and the Investment Company Act of 1940, together with related regulations and interpretations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, impose numerous obligations and restrictions on investment advisers and mutual funds, including requirements relating to the safekeeping of client funds and securities, limitations on advertising, disclosure and reporting obligations, prohibitions on fraudulent activities, restrictions on transactions between an adviser and its clients, and between a mutual fund and its advisers and affiliates, and other detailed operating requirements, as well as general fiduciary obligations.

In addition, Portfolio Brokerage Services, Inc., our broker-dealer subsidiary, is registered as a broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission and with all 50 states and the District of Columbia, and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, a securities industry self-regulatory organization that supervises and regulates the conduct and activities of its members. Broker-dealers are subject to regulations that cover all aspects of their business, including sales practices, market making and trading among broker-dealers, use and safekeeping of customer funds and securities, capital structure, recordkeeping and the conduct of directors, officers, employees, representatives and associated persons. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority conducts periodic examinations of the operations of its members, including Portfolio Brokerage Services, Inc. As a broker-dealer, Portfolio Brokerage Services, Inc. is also subject to certain minimum net capital requirements under Securities and Exchange Commission and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority rules. Compliance with the net capital rules may limit our ability to withdraw capital from Portfolio Brokerage Services, Inc.

All of the foregoing laws and regulations are complex and we are required to expend significant resources in order to maintain our compliance with such laws and regulations. Any failure on our part to comply with these and other applicable laws and regulations could result in regulatory fines, suspensions of personnel or other sanctions, including revocation of our registration or that of our subsidiaries as an investment adviser or broker-dealer, as the case may be, which could, among other things, require changes to our business practices and scope of operations or harm our reputation, which, in turn could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.

Changes to the laws or regulations applicable to us or to our financial advisor clients could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or business.

We may be adversely affected as a result of new or revised legislation or regulations imposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission or other U.S. or foreign governmental regulatory authorities or self-regulatory organizations that supervise the financial markets around the world. In addition, we may be adversely affected by changes in the interpretation or enforcement of existing laws and rules by these governmental authorities and self-regulatory organizations. It is impossible to determine the extent of the impact of any new laws, regulations or initiatives that may be proposed, or whether any current proposals will become law, and it is difficult to predict how any changes or potential changes could affect our business. Changes to laws or regulations could increase our potential liability in connection with the investment solutions and services that we provide. The introduction of any new laws or regulations could make our ability to comply with applicable laws and regulations more difficult and expensive. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse affect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.

The offering of shares of our common stock in our initial public filing may be deemed a change of control of our company and the method by which the company obtained the consent of its clients to the change of control could be challenged, which could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or business.

Under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, the investment advisory agreements entered into by our investment adviser subsidiaries may not be assigned without the client’s consent. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, advisory agreements with registered funds terminate automatically upon assignment and, if an assignment of an advisory agreement occurs, the board of directors and the shareholders of the registered fund must approve a new agreement. Under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and the Investment Company Act of 1940, such an assignment may be deemed to occur upon a change of control of the Company. A change of control could be deemed to occur if we, or one of our investment adviser subsidiaries, were to gain or lose a controlling person, or in other situations that may depend significantly on facts and circumstances.

In case the offering of our common stock in our initial public offering could have been deemed to result in a change in control, we sought and obtained the consent of our financial advisor clients, as well as the clients of financial advisors receiving advisory services. However, it is possible that the method by which we obtained consents could be challenged at a later time. If such a challenge were to be successful it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.

We rely on exemptions from certain laws and if for any reason these exemptions were to become unavailable to us, we could become subject to regulatory action or third-party claims and our business could be materially and adversely affected.

We regularly rely on exemptions from various requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the Employment Retirement Income Security Act in conducting our activities. These exemptions are sometimes highly complex and may in certain circumstances depend on compliance by third parties whom we do not control. If for any reason these exemptions were to become unavailable to us, we could become subject to regulatory action or third-party claims and our business could be materially and adversely affected.

If government regulation of the Internet or other areas of our business changes, or if consumer attitudes toward use of the Internet change, we may need to change the manner in which we conduct our business or incur greater operating expenses.

The adoption, modification or interpretation of laws or regulations relating to the Internet or other areas of our business could adversely affect the manner in which we conduct our business. Such laws and regulations may cover sales, practices, taxes, user privacy, data protection, pricing, content, copyrights, distribution, electronic contracts, consumer protection, broadband residential Internet access and the characteristics and quality of services. Moreover, it is not clear how existing laws governing these matters apply to the Internet. If we are required to comply with new regulations or legislation or new interpretations of existing regulations or legislation, we may be required to incur additional expenses or alter our business model, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.

We are substantially dependent on our intellectual property rights, and a failure to protect these rights could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or business.

We have made substantial investments in software and other intellectual property on which our business is highly dependent. We rely on trade secret, trademark and copyright laws, confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements and other contractual and technical security measures to protect our proprietary technology. Any loss of our intellectual property rights, or any significant claim of infringement or indemnity for violation of the intellectual property rights of others, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.

None of our technologies, investment solutions or services is covered by any copyright registration, issued patent or patent application. We are the owner of four registered trademarks in the United States, including “ENVESTNET”, and we claim common law rights in other trademarks that are not registered. We cannot guarantee that:

•

our intellectual property rights will provide competitive advantages to us;

•

our ability to assert our intellectual property rights against potential competitors or to settle current or future disputes will not be limited by our agreements with third parties;

•

our intellectual property rights will be enforced in jurisdictions where competition may be intense or where legal protection may be weak;

•

any of the trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets or other intellectual property rights that we presently employ in our business will not lapse or be invalidated, circumvented, challenged or abandoned;

•

our trademark applications will lead to registered trademarks; or

•

competitors will not design around our intellectual property rights or develop similar technologies, investment solutions or products; or that we will not lose the ability to assert our intellectual property rights against others.

We are also a party to a number of third-party intellectual property license agreements. Some of these license agreements require us to make one-time payments or ongoing subscription payments. We cannot guarantee that the third-party intellectual property we license will not be licensed to our competitors or others in our industry. In the future, we may need to obtain additional licenses or renew existing license agreements. We are unable to predict whether these license agreements can be obtained or renewed on acceptable terms, or at all. In addition, we have granted our customers certain rights to use our intellectual property in the ordinary course of our business. Some of our customer agreements restrict our ability to license or develop certain customized technology or services within certain markets or to certain competitors of our customers. For example, our agreement with Fidelity restricts our ability to develop an enterprise-level integration or combination of products and services substantially similar to the technology platform we have developed for Fidelity. Some of our customer agreements grant our customers ownership rights with respect to the portion of the intellectual property we have developed or customized for our customers. In addition, some of our customer agreements require us to deposit the source code to the customized technology and investment solutions with a source code escrow agent, which source code may be released in the event we enter into bankruptcy or are unable to provide support and maintenance of the technology or investment solutions we have licensed to our customers. These provisions in our agreements may limit our ability to grow our business in the future.

Third parties may sue us for intellectual property infringement or misappropriation which, if successful, could require us to pay significant damages or make changes to the investment solutions or services that we offer.

We cannot be certain that our internally developed or acquired technologies, investment solutions or services do not and will not infringe the intellectual property rights of others. In addition, we license content, software and other intellectual property rights from third parties and may be subject to claims of infringement if such parties do not possess the necessary intellectual property rights to the products they license to us. The risk of infringement claims against us will increase if more of our competitors are able to obtain patents for investment solutions or services or business processes. In addition, we face additional risk of infringement or misappropriation claims if we hire an employee who possesses third party proprietary information who decides to use such information in connection with our investment solutions, services or business processes without such third party’s authorization. We have in the past been and may in the future be subject to legal proceedings and claims that we have infringed or misappropriated the intellectual property rights of a third party. These claims sometimes involve patent holding companies who have no relevant product revenues and against whom our own proprietary technology may therefore provide little or no deterrence. In addition, third parties may in the future assert intellectual property infringement claims against our customers, which, in certain circumstances, we have agreed to indemnify. Any intellectual property related infringement or misappropriation claims, whether or not meritorious, could result in costly litigation and could divert management resources and attention. Moreover, should we be found liable for infringement or misappropriation, we may be required to enter into licensing agreements, if available on acceptable terms or at all, pay substantial damages or make changes to the investment solutions and services that we offer. Any of the foregoing could prevent us from competing effectively, result in substantial costs to us, divert management’s attention and our resources away from our operations and otherwise harm our reputation.

If our intellectual property and proprietary technology are not adequately protected to prevent use or appropriation by our competitors, our business and competitive position would suffer.

Our future success and competitive position depend in part on our ability to protect our intellectual property rights. The steps we have taken to protect our intellectual property rights may be inadequate to prevent the misappropriation of our proprietary technology. There can be no assurance that others will not develop or patent similar or superior technologies, investment solutions or services. Unauthorized copying or other misappropriation of our proprietary technologies could enable third parties to benefit from our intellectual property rights without paying us for doing so, which could harm our business. Policing unauthorized use of proprietary technology is difficult and expensive and our monitoring and policing activities may not be sufficient to identify any misappropriation and protect our proprietary technology. In addition, third parties may knowingly or unknowingly infringe our trademarks and other intellectual property rights, and litigation may be necessary to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights. If litigation is necessary to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights, any such litigation could be very costly and could divert management attention and resources. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights or if third parties independently develop or gain access to our or similar technologies, investment solutions or services, our results of operations, financial condition and business could be materially adversely affected.

The use of “open source code” in investment solutions may expose us to additional risks and harm our intellectual property rights.

To a limited extent, we rely on open source code to develop our investment solutions and support our internal systems and infrastructure. While we monitor our use of open source code to attempt to avoid subjecting our investment solutions to conditions we do not intend, such use could inadvertently occur. Additionally, if a third-party software provider has incorporated certain types of open source code into software we license from such third party for our investment solutions, we could, under certain circumstances, be required to disclose the source code for our investment solutions. This could harm our intellectual property position and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and business.

Confidentiality agreements with employees, consultants and others may not adequately prevent disclosure of trade secrets and other proprietary information.

We have devoted substantial resources to the development of our proprietary technologies, investment solutions and services. In order to protect our proprietary rights, we enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants and independent contractors. These agreements may not effectively prevent unauthorized disclosure of confidential information or unauthorized parties from copying aspects of our technologies, investment solutions or products or obtaining and using information that we regard as proprietary. Moreover, these agreements may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of such unauthorized disclosures of confidential information and we cannot assure you that our rights under such agreements will be enforceable. In addition, others may independently discover trade secrets and proprietary information, and in such cases we could not assert any trade secret rights against such parties. Costly and time-consuming litigation could be necessary to enforce and determine the scope of our proprietary rights, and failure to obtain or maintain trade secret protection could reduce any competitive advantage we have developed and cause us to lose customers or otherwise harm our business.

Our failure to successfully integrate acquisitions could strain our resources. In addition, there are significant risks associated with growth through acquisitions, which may materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or business.

We expect to grow our business by, among other things, making acquisitions. Acquisitions involve a number of risks. They can be time-consuming and may divert management’s attention from day-to-day operations. Financing an acquisition could result in dilution from issuing equity securities or a weaker balance sheet from using cash or incurring debt. Acquisitions might also result in losing key employees. In addition, we may fail to successfully complete any acquisitions. We may also fail to generate enough revenues or profits from an acquisition to earn a return on the associated purchase price.

To the extent we grow our business through acquisitions, any such future acquisitions could present a number of other risks, including:

•

incorrect assumptions regarding the future results of acquired operations or assets or expected cost reductions or other synergies expected to be realized as a result of acquiring operations or assets;

•

failure to integrate the operations or management of any acquired operations or assets successfully and on a timely and cost effective basis;

•

insufficient knowledge of the operations and markets of acquired businesses;

•

loss of key personnel;

•

diversion of management’s attention from existing operations or other priorities;

•

increased costs or liabilities as a result of undetected or undisclosed legal, regulatory or financial issues related to acquired operations or assets; and

•

inability to secure, on terms we find acceptable, sufficient financing that may be required for any such acquisition or investment.

In addition, if we are unsuccessful in completing acquisitions of other businesses, operations or assets or if such opportunities for expansion do not arise, our results of operations, financial condition or business could be materially adversely affected.

Our failure to successfully execute the conversion of our clients’ assets from their technology platform to our platform in a timely and accurate manner could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.

When we begin working with a new client, or acquire new client assets through an acquisition or other transaction, such as our recent agreement with FundQuest Incorporated, we are required to convert the new assets from the clients’ technology platform to our technology platform. These conversions present significant technological and operational challenges, can be time-consuming and may divert management’s attention from other operational challenges. If we fail to successfully complete our conversions in a timely and accurate manner, we may be required to expend more time and resources than anticipated, which could erode the profitability of the client relationship. In addition, any such failure may harm our reputation and may make it less likely that prospective clients will commit to working with us. Any of these risks could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or business.

Our business will suffer if we do not keep up with rapid technological change, evolving industry standards or changing requirements of clients.

We expect technological developments to continue at a rapid pace in our industry. Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to:

•

continue to develop our technology expertise;

•

recruit and retain skilled technology professionals;

•

enhance our current investment solutions and services;

•

develop new investment solutions and services that meet changing client needs;

•

advertise and market our investment solutions and services;

•

protect our proprietary technology and intellectual property rights; or

•

influence and respond to emerging industry standards and other technological changes.

We must accomplish these tasks in a timely and cost-effective manner and our failure to do so could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or business.

We must continue to introduce new investment solutions and services and investment solution and service enhancements to address our clients’ changing needs, market changes and technological developments and failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.

The market for our investment solutions and services is characterized by shifting client demands, evolving market practices and, for some of our investment solutions and services, rapid technological change. Changing client demands, new market practices or new technologies can render existing investment solutions and services obsolete and unmarketable. As a result, our future success will continue to depend upon our ability to develop new investment solutions and services and investment solution and service enhancements that address the future needs of our target markets and respond to technological and market changes. We incurred technology development expenditures of $4.2 million, $4.5 million, $4.5 million, $0.3 million, $0.3 million, $1.0 million and $1.0 million in the years ended December, 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, in the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, and in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively. We expect that our technology development expenditures will continue at this level or they may increase in the future. We may not be able to accurately estimate the impact of new investment solutions and services on our business or how their benefits will be perceived by our clients. Further, we may not be successful in developing, introducing, marketing and licensing our new investment solutions or services or investment solution or service enhancements on a timely and cost effective basis, or at all, and our new investment solutions and services and enhancements may not adequately meet the requirements of the marketplace or achieve market acceptance. In addition, clients may delay purchases in anticipation of new investment solutions or services or enhancements. Any of these factors could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or business.

Risks Related to our Common Stock

Our share price may be volatile, and the value of an investment in our common stock may decline.

An active, liquid and orderly market for our common stock may not be sustained, which could depress the trading price of our common stock. The price of our common stock has been, and is likely to continue to be, volatile, which means that it could decline substantially within a short period of time. For example, since shares of our common stock were sold in our initial public offering in July 2010 at a price of $9.00 per share, our closing stock price has ranged from $9.90 to $12.05 in the period August 1, 2010 to September 30, 2010. The market price of shares of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to many risk factors listed in this section, many of which are beyond our control, including:

•

actual or anticipated fluctuations in our financial condition and operating results;

•

changes in the economic performance or market valuations of other companies engaged in providing portfolio management services, investment advice and retirement help;

•

loss of a significant amount of existing business;

•

actual or anticipated changes in our growth rate relative to our competitors;

•

actual or anticipated fluctuations in our competitors’ operating results or changes in their growth rates;

•

issuance of new or updated research or reports by securities analysts;

•

our announcement of actual results for a fiscal period that are higher or lower than projected results or our announcement of revenue or earnings guidance that is higher or lower than expected;

•

regulatory developments in our target markets affecting us, our plan sponsors or our competitors;

•

fluctuations in the valuation of companies perceived by investors to be comparable to us;

•

share price and volume fluctuations attributable to inconsistent trading volume levels of our shares;

•

sales or expected sales of additional common stock

•

terrorist attacks or natural disasters or other such events impacting countries where we or our plan sponsors have operations; and

•

general economic and market conditions.

Furthermore, the stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies. These fluctuations often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. These broad market and industry fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions such as recessions, interest rate changes or international currency fluctuations, may cause the market price of shares of our common stock to decline. In the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been subject to securities class action litigation. We may be the target of this type of litigation in the future. Securities litigation against us could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention from other business concerns, which could seriously harm our business.

Our insiders who are significant stockholders may have interests that conflict with those of other stockholders.

Our directors and executive officers, together with members of their immediate families, as a group, beneficially own, in the aggregate, approximately 32% of our outstanding capital stock as of September 30, 2010. As a result, when acting together, this group has the ability to exercise significant influence over most matters requiring our stockholders’ approval, including the election and removal of directors and significant corporate transactions. The interests of our insider stockholders may not be aligned with the interests of our other stockholders and conflicts of interest may arise. In addition, the concentration of our shares may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing significant corporate transactions which may otherwise adversely affect the market price of our shares.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they change their recommendations regarding our stock adversely, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our common stock is influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. If one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our stock, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fails to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

The future sale of shares of our common stock may negatively impact our stock price.

If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock, the market price of our common stock could fall. A reduction in ownership by a large stockholder could cause the market price of our common stock to fall. In addition, the average daily trading volume in our stock is relatively low. The lack of trading activity in our stock may lead to greater fluctuations in our stock price. Low trading volume may also make it difficult for stockholder to make transactions in a timely fashion.

Certain provisions in our charter documents and agreements and Delaware law may inhibit potential acquisition bids for our company and prevent changes in our management.

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contains provisions that could depress the trading price of our common stock by acting to discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of our company or changes in management that our stockholders might deem advantageous. As a result of these provisions in our certificate of incorporation, the price investors may be willing to pay for shares of our common stock may be limited.

In addition, we are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which imposes certain restrictions on mergers and other business combinations between us and any holder of 15% or more of our common stock.

We do not currently intend to pay dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future and, consequently, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on appreciation in the price of our common stock.

We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. Consequently, investors must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any future gains on their investment. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock.

We will incur increased costs as a result of being a public company and our management has limited experience managing a public company.

Prior to July 28, 2010, we had never operated as a public company and we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. The individuals who constitute our management team have limited experience managing a publicly traded company, and limited experience complying with the increasingly complex and changing laws pertaining to public companies. Our management team and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to new compliance initiatives and we may not successfully or efficiently manage our transition into a public company. We expect rules and regulations such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 to increase our legal and finance compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. We may need to hire additional employees with public accounting and disclosure experience in order to meet our ongoing obligations as a public company.

We expect that compliance with the public company requirements set forth in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and New York Stock Exchange rules will increase our costs and make some activities more time consuming. For example, we will adopt certain new internal controls and procedures. In addition, we will incur additional expenses associated with our Securities and Exchange Commission reporting requirements. A number of those requirements will require us to carry out activities we have not done previously. For example, under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, for our annual report on Form 10-K for year ending December 31, 2011, we will need to document and test our internal control procedures, and our management will need to assess and report on our internal control over financial reporting. Furthermore, if we identify any issues in complying with those requirements (for example, if we or our registered public accounting firm identify a material weakness or significant deficiency in our internal control over financial reporting), we could incur additional costs rectifying those issues, and the existence of those issues could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or business, our reputation or investor perceptions of us. We cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur as a result of such requirements or the timing of such costs, and any such costs could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.
