(2)       Includes deferred shares held by directors and employees. 

The non-GAAP summary financial information presented above include amounts which are reallocated primarily from the following line items within the Company's GAAP financial statements: Revenue from consolidated funds and ventures ("CFVs"); Expenses from CFVs; Net gains related to CFVs; Equity in losses from LTPPs of CFVs; Net losses allocable to noncontrolling interests in CFVs and IHS; and Income from discontinued operations, net of tax.  These lines are presented separately in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the First Quarter 2013 Report, as required by GAAP.  The footnotes to the financial statements in the First Quarter 2013 Report contain an attribution of these line items which provides investors with additional information regarding the nature of the Company's income or loss associated with its CFVs.  The adjusted measures presented above are used by management and are disclosed supplementally to provide investors a tool to more easily review the impact of CFVs and discontinued operations on individual items of income and expense reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the Company's First Quarter 2013 Report.
