Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, consistentAmerica. Except as disclosed herein, there have been no significant changes in all material respects with those appliedsignificant accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.2008. Certain financial information and accompanying note disclosure normally included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K has been condensed or omitted. The interim financial information is unaudited but reflects all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairlyfor a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company as of SeptemberJune 30, 2008,2009, the results of operations for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20082009 and 2007,2008, and cash flows for the ninesix month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20082009 and 2007.2008. These interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.2008.

ExceptThe Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 160 (SFAS 160), “Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51” in January 2009. SFAS 160 established accounting and reporting standards that require the ownership interests in subsidiaries not held by the parent to be clearly identified, labeled and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity. This statement also required the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest to be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income.

Variable Interest Entities

The Company has involvement with various variable interest entities (VIE or VIEs). These VIEs consist of LSV Employee Group, an SEI-sponsored money market fund, and other investment products in the form of Cayman Island investment companies (Cayman companies), Irish-domiciled funds which do not qualify as disclosed herein, thereUndertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (non-UCITS), Canadian unit trusts and collective investment trusts.

Page 8 of 50


In 2006, the Company provided an unsecured guaranty with the lenders of LSV Employee Group in order to facilitate the acquisition of partnership interest in LSV. The Company determined that LSV Employee Group is a VIE because the partners of LSV Employee Group do not have beenany equity at risk because the Company guaranteed the loan. The Company determined it was the primary beneficiary because of the requirement under the guaranty agreement for the Company to absorb any loss in the event of default on the loan by LSV Employee Group (See Note 2).

In 2007, the Company entered into Capital Support Agreements with three of its money market funds to protect the money market fund shareholders from absorbing the credit losses associated with senior notes issued by structured investment vehicles (SIV or SIVs). At the time the Company provided the Capital Support Agreements, the funds became VIEs; however, management concluded the Company was not the primary beneficiary. Management compared the credit risk absorbed through the Capital Support Agreements due to the SIV securities and the interest rate and credit risk associated with the non-SIVs absorbed by the money market funds shareholders to determine if the Company’s risk represented the majority. This analysis determined that the interest rate and credit risk absorbed by the money market fund shareholders was more variable than the credit risk absorbed by the Company. Therefore, the Company is not bearing more than 50 percent of the expected losses on the money market funds and the Company is not the primary beneficiary. Subsequently, the Company purchased the remaining SIV securities from two of the money market funds. As a result of these purchases, the Capital Support Agreements with these funds were cancelled and, therefore, these funds are no longer considered VIEs (See Note 7).

Other variable interest entities are in the form of Cayman companies, Irish-domiciled non-UCITS, Canadian unit trusts and collective investment trusts established for the purpose of offering alternative investment products to clients. Clients of the Company are the equity holders in all of these VIEs. The Company governs all decision making authority of the Cayman companies, Irish domiciled non-UCITS, Canadian unit trusts and the collective investment trusts from which it receives a fee. The Company has no equity investment in the entities. Management has concluded that the Company does not have a significant variable interest in these entities and, therefore, is not the primary beneficiary.

On June 12, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (SFAS 167), which amends FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” (FIN 46(R)), to require an enterprise to perform an ongoing analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. Additionally, an enterprise is required to assess whether it has an implicit financial responsibility to ensure that a variable interest entity operates as designed when determining whether it has the power to direct the activities of the variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. SFAS 167 amends FIN 46(R) to require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. Before this Statement, FIN 46(R) required reconsideration of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity only when specific events occurred. SFAS 167 also amends FIN 46(R) to add an additional reconsideration event for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity when any changes in significant accounting policies duringfacts and circumstances occur such that the nine months ended September 30, 2008holders of the equity investment at risk, as compareda group, lose the power from voting rights or similar rights of those investments to direct the significant accounting policies describedactivities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. SFAS 167 is effective for the Company beginning in the Company’s Annual Reportfirst quarter 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact SFAS 167 will have on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.its consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159 (SFAS 159), “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” SFAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure certain financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The standard requires that unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected be reported in earnings. SFAS 159 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2008. The Company elected not to apply the fair value option to any of its financial instruments on the date the standard became effective and, therefore, SFAS 159 had no impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company may elect to apply the fair value option to any financial instruments acquired after the effective date of SFAS 159.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 (SFAS 157), “Fair Value Measurements,” which defines fair value, establishes guidelines for measuring fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements but rather eliminates inconsistencies in guidance found in various prior accounting pronouncements. SFAS 157 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2008. However, in February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 157-2 which delayed the effective date of SFAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). In October 2008,The Company adopted the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-3 which clarifies the applicationprovisions of SFAS 157 in a market that is not active and provides an exampleas they relate to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. SFAS 157 becomes effective for all nonfinancial assets and liabilities for periods beginning after November 15, 2008, which will be the Company’s first quarter of fiscalin January 2009. The Company has adopted SFAS 157 for financial assets and liabilities recognized at fair value on a recurring basis. The partial adoption of SFAS 157 for financialnonfinancial assets and liabilities did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. See Note 5 for information on related disclosures regarding fair value measurements.

Page 7On April 9, 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of 43Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (FSP 157-4), and FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (FSP 107-1). FSP 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with FAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability has significantly decreased. FSP 157-4 also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP 107-1 amends FAS 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial instruments,” to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods as well as in annual financial statements. FSP 107-1 also amends Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting,” to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. The Company adopted FSP 157-4 and FSP 107-1 in the second quarter 2009. The adoption of FSP 157-4 and FSP 107-1 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007,On April 9, 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (FSP 115-2).” FSP 115-2 establishes a new method of recognizing and reporting other-than-temporary impairments of debt securities. FSP 115-2 also contains additional disclosure requirements related to debt and equity securities. The Company adopted FSP 115-2 in the second quarter 2009. The adoption of FSP 115-2 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On May 28, 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007)165, “Subsequent Events” (SFAS 141R)165), “Business Combinations”which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The Company adopted SFAS 165 in the second quarter 2009. Since SFAS 165 only requires additional disclosures, the adoption of SFAS 165 did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On June 12, 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 (SFAS 160), “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Statements, Assets—an amendment of Accounting Research BulletinFASB Statement No. 51.” SFAS 141R will change how business acquisitions are accounted for140” (SFAS 166), which improves the relevance, representational faithfulness, and will impactcomparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements bothabout a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on the acquisition dateits financial position, financial performance, and cash flows, and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in subsequent periods.transferred financial assets.

Subsequent Events

The Company has performed an evaluation of subsequent events through August 5, 2009, which is the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161 (SFAS 161), “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS 161 requires companies with derivative instruments to disclose information that should enable financial-statement users to understand how and why a company uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB Statement No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect a company’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective fordate the financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that SFAS 161 will have on its consolidated financial statements.were issued.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP 142-3 (FSP 142-3), “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets.” FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142 (SFAS 142), “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” The intent of this new guidance is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under other accounting pronouncements. FSP 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that FSP 142-3 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4 (FSP 133-1 and FIN 45-4), “Disclosures about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees: An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and FASB Interpretation No. 45; and Clarification of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 161” that introduces new disclosure requirements for credit derivatives and guarantees and clarifies the effective date of SFAS 161. The new disclosure requirements are designed to result in similar disclosures for financial instruments with similar risks and rewards relating to credit risk, regardless of their legal form. The provisions of FSP 133-1 and FIN 45-4 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that FSP 133-1 and FIN 45-4 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 2. LSV and LSV Employee Group

The Company has an investment in the general partnership LSV Asset Management (LSV), a registered investment advisor that provides investment advisory services to institutions, including pension plans and investment companies. LSV is currently an investment sub-advisor for a number of SEI-sponsored mutual funds. The Company’s total partnership interest in LSV was approximately 43 percent during 2007through March 31, 2009 and 2008.approximately 42 percent for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 (See Issuance of Partnership Interest below). LSV Employee Group is owned by several current employees of LSV and was formed for the sole purpose of owning a partnership interest in LSV. The Company does not own any interest in LSV Employee Group.

In January 2006, twoTwo partners of LSV, excluding the Company, sold in the aggregate an eight percent interest in LSV to LSV Employee Group. The Company entered into a Guaranty Agreement with LSV Employee Group, Bank of America, N.A. (formerly LaSalle Bank National Association) as administrative agent (the Agent), and certain other lenders in order to facilitate the acquisition of certain partnership interests of LSV by LSV Employee Group. LSV Employee Group obtained financing from the Agent and certain other lenders in the form of a term loan pursuant to the terms of a Credit Agreement (See LSV Employee Group Term Loan below).

Page 10 of 43


Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Guaranty Agreement, the Company provided an unsecured guaranty to the lenders of all obligations of LSV Employee Group under the Credit Agreement. In the event of default by LSV Employee Group, the lenders have the right to seek payment from the Company of all obligations of LSV Employee Group under the Credit Agreement. As recourse for such payment, the Company will be subrogated to the rights of the lenders under the Credit Agreement and the Guaranty Agreement, including the security interest in the pledged interests transferred to LSV Employee Group.

As a result of this transaction, LSV Employee Group meets the definition of a variable interest entity and the Company has a controlling financial interestis the primary beneficiary in LSV through its direct ownershipaccordance with the guidance of LSV and guaranty of LSV Employee Group’s debt.FIN 46(R). The Company therefore consolidates the assets, liabilities and operations of LSV and LSV Employee Group in its Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company’s percentage of direct ownership in LSV at the date of this transaction was unchanged, (approximatelyor approximately 43 percent) as a result of this transaction.percent. The amount of ownership of the other existing partners (approximatelyof LSV was approximately 57 percent) of LSVpercent and is included in Minority interest. Assuming no other changes in the Company’s relationship with LSV and LSV Employee Group, the Company would no longer be required to consolidate the assets, liabilities and operations of LSV and LSV Employee Group after the LSV Employee Group Term Loan is paid in full. Additionally, the Company may not be required to consolidate LSV and LSV Employee Group if the Company’s percentage of direct ownership in LSV decreases to certain levels.Noncontrolling Interest.

The Company determined that $72,220 of the $92,000 purchase price related to identifiable intangible assets and the remaining $19,780 was goodwill. The identifiable intangible assets have an estimated life of ten years and are amortized on a straight-line basis. The Company recognized $5,416$3,611 in amortization expense during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20082009 and 2007,2008, which is reflected in Depreciation and amortization expense on the accompanying Consolidated StatementsStatement of Operations. Amortization expense recognized in the Consolidated StatementsStatement of Operations associated with the assets of LSV Employee Group was eliminated through MinorityNoncontrolling interest and had no impact on net income.

Issuance of Partnership Interest

In March 2009, certain partners (the Contributing Partners) of LSV, including the Company, agreed to designate a portion of their partnership interest for the purpose of providing an interest in LSV to a select group of key employees. Until such time an interest in LSV is issued to a key employee, all profits, losses, distributions and other rights and obligations relating to such unissued interests remains with the Contributing Partners. Each issuance must be authorized by unanimous vote of all Contributing Partners. The issuance of an interest in LSV to a key employee provides them an interest in the future profits of LSV. It does not provide them any rights in the management of the partnership or the ability to direct the operations or affairs of LSV.

Page 14 of 50


In April 2009, the Contributing Partners agreed to provide certain employees an interest in LSV from the Contributing Partners, thereby reducing the Company’s interest in LSV to approximately 42 percent. The Company’s direct interest in LSV and its indirect interest in LSV through LSV Employee Group was reduced to less than 50 percent. The Company evaluated the effect of this transaction in accordance with the guidance established in SFAS 160 and determined that the reduction of the Company’s interest of less than one percent in LSV was not a significant economic event that had any effect on the control of the operations or affairs of LSV. The Company’s controlling interest in LSV was unchanged. The Company continued to consolidate the assets, liabilities and operations of LSV and LSV Employee Group.

LSV Employee Group Term Loan

In order to finance a portion of the purchase price, LSV Employee Group obtained financing from Bank of America, N.A. (formerly LaSalle Bank National Association) and certain other lenders in the form of a term loan pursuant to the terms of a Credit Agreement. The principal amount of the term loan was $82,800. The principal amount and interest of the term loan are paid in quarterly installments. The total outstanding principal balance of the term loan must be paid in full by January 2011. LSV Employee Group may prepay the term loan in whole or in part at any time without penalty. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2008,2009, the remaining unpaid principal balance of the term loan was $36,823$24,688, of which $7,200$6,400 is classified as current and included in Current portion of long-term debt and the remaining $29,623$18,288 is included in Long-term debt on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. LSV Employee Group made principal payments of $15,148$6,844 and $13,695$10,552 during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20082009 and 2007,2008, respectively. Interest expense for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20082009 and 20072008 on the Consolidated Statements of Operations includes $1,930$793 and $2,962,$1,264, respectively, in interest costs associated with the borrowings of LSV Employee Group which was eliminated through MinorityNoncontrolling interest and had no impact on net income.

LSV Employee Group made a principal payment of $5,274$2,496 in October 2008.July 2009. The remaining unpaid principal balance of the term loan at OctoberJuly 31, 20082009 was $31,549.$22,192. The Company, in its capacity as guarantor, currently has no obligation of payment relating to the term loan of LSV Employee Group.

The fairbook value of LSV Employee Group’s long-term debt is approximately $2,853 in excessconsidered to be representative of the carrying amountits fair value based upon an estimation using borrowing rates currently available for bank loans with similar terms and maturities.

LSV Employee Group entered into two interest rate swap agreements to convert its floating rate long-term debt to fixed rate debt. These swaps haveOne of these swap agreements terminated on March 31, 2009. The remaining swap agreement has a total notional value of $33,392.$26,240. Payments are made every 90 days and the termination datesdate of the swaps are March 2009 andremaining swap agreement is January 2011. The net effect from the interest rate swaps on the Company’s earnings during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was minimal.

Note 3. Goodwill and Other Intangible Asset

In June 2003, the Company purchased an additional percentage ownership in LSV. The total purchase price was allocated to LSV’s net tangible and intangible assets based upon their estimated fair values at the date of purchase. The excess purchase price over the value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets was recorded as goodwill. The total amount of goodwill from this transaction amounted to $3,062 and is included on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company identified an intangible asset related to customer contracts that met the contractual-legal criterion for recognition apart from goodwill. The fair value of the intangible asset was determined to be $3,821 with a definite life of eight and a half years. The identified intangible asset is amortized on a straight-line basis. The Company recognized $327$218 of amortization expense during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20082009 and 2007,2008, which is reflected in Depreciation and amortization expense on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Note 5. Fair Value Measurements

SFAS 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used by the Company to measure fair value:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities without adjustment. The Company’s Level 1 assets primarily include investments in SEI-sponsored mutual funds sponsored by SEI and LSV that are quoted daily.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. The Company’s Level 2 assets primarily include U.S. Treasury securities and U.S. government agency mortgage-backed debt securitiesissued by the Government National Mortgage Association with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments. The value of these assets is determined using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

Page 13 of 43


Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment by management. The Company’s Level 3 financial assets include SIV securities issued by structured investment vehicles (SIVs) (See Notes 6 and 7). The Company elected the fair value option under SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" (SFAS 159) to valueaccount for these securities. The Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities include the remaining Capital Support AgreementsAgreement which areis considered a derivative financial instrumentsinstrument (See Note 7).

The fair value of an asset or liability may include inputs from more than one level in the fair value hierarchy. The lowest level of significant inputs used to value the asset or liability determines which level the asset or liability is classified in its entirety.

The fair value of securities issued by SIVs has been greatly affected by recentRecent liquidity issues surrounding collateralized debt obligations and asset backedasset-backed securities has greatly affected the fair value of SIV securities. Market price quotes may not be readily available for some positions. TheGiven the lack of any reliable market data on the SIV securities owned by the Company valuesor held by SEI-sponsored money market funds, the fair value of these securities issued by SIVsis determined using a net asset value approach which considers the value of the underlying assets.collateral of the SIV securities. The valuation model is maintained by an independent third party. The underlying assetscollateral is comprised of asset-backed securities and collateralized debt obligations that are specifically identified by its CUSIP or ISIN number. The Company obtains quotes primarily from two independent external pricing vendors for each security. Other pricing vendors may

Page 17 of 50


be used in limited situations when a security quote can not be obtained from either of the two primary independent external pricing vendors. The average of the two quotes received is used to value each security. Additionally, the securities are aggregated by type or sector (i.e. home equity line of credit, sub-prime 1st liens, residential mortgage-backed securities, etc.) and the weighted average quote of all securities within a sector held by the SIV is compared with the range of quotes received for similar securities within the same sector from the trading desk of an affiliate of the third party that maintains the SIV pricing model. The weighted average quote of all securities within a sector held by the SIV must be within the range of quotes received from the trading desk within that same sector. If the weighted average quote for all securities within a sector held by the SIV is outside that range, the average quote received from the pricing vendors may be adjusted. In any event, the value assigned to each security held by the SIV will be the lower of (i) the average of the quotes received from the pricing vendors or (ii) the lowest quote received from the trading desk for a similar security.

A portion of the securities that comprise the underlying collateral of the SIV securities lack price quotes. These securities that lack price quotes are adjusted by the weighted average percentage movement of securities held as collateral within the same sector classification. For example, a residential mortgage-backed security that has not received a quote for an extended period of time will be adjusted by the weighted average percentage movement of all quoted residential mortgage-backed securities held as collateral by the SIV security. Also, as previously stated, the weighted average price of all securities within a sector is compared with the range of quotes received from the trading desk of an affiliate of the independent third party that maintains the valuation model. The weighted average quote of all securities within a sector must be within the range of quotes received from the trading desk within that same sector. If the average quote is not within the range, the quote may be adjusted. The average quote will only be adjusted downward to the lowest figure.

The pricing vendors utilize widely-accepted pricing models, which are evaluated by the pricing vendor, that vary by asset class and incorporate available trade, bid, and other market information. The market inputs that these vendors seek for their evaluation of securities include: benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and other available market data. Broker quotes may be binding or non-binding. For certain security types, additional inputs may be used. The pricing vendors may prioritize inputs differently from time to time for any security based on current market conditions. For each asset class, the pricing vendor has a team of evaluators that gather information from market sources and integrate relevant credit information, perceived market movements and sector news into the evaluated pricing models. For a structured security evaluation, including mortgage-backed securities, these evaluators would consider various characteristics including issuer, vintage, purpose of loan, collateral attributes, prepayment speeds and credit ratings in order to properly identify trades and quotes for similar securities which are gathered for use in the evaluation process. Evaluators follow multiple review processes throughout each month that assess the available market, credit and deal level information in support of the evaluation process. If it is determined that sufficient objectively verifiable information does not exist to support a security’s valuation, the pricing vendor will discontinue providing a quote on that security. As previously stated, securities that lack a quote from a pricing vendor are valued using external pricing services that incorporate market information, where available, or through the use of matrix pricing or other acceptable measures. Securities which lack market information are grouped by sector and valued by utilizing the most recent quoted price of the underlying asset and adjusting that price by the weighted average percentage change in the respective sector using indices orof all other relative benchmarks.similar securities that are held by the SIV.

The Company evaluated the inputs used by the pricing vendors in accordance with the fair value hierarchy established in SFAS 157. This process required gaining an understanding of their valuation methodologies, processes, models and inputs. The pricing vendors provided information about each model, the inputs used and the order of priority of each input. In the event management disagrees with a quoted price from a vendor, the Company may challenge that price and request an evaluation. The Company considered each vendor’s qualification to provide quotes pertaining to each security. All pricing vendors used are considered to be market leaders that have a long history of providing reliable information to their clients.

In the event a market transaction does exist for a SIV security, management evaluates the publicly available information surrounding the transaction in order to assess if the price used represents the fair value according to the guidance in SFAS 157. In management’s opinion, the price of certain SIV securities used in recent transactions were from distressed sales and did not represent the implied fair value of the Capital Support Agreements is determined through the use of an option pricing model designed for credit default swaps. The value is primarily affected by assumptions pertaining to the underlying assets, mainly default percentages and recovery rates specific to each security coveredSIV securities held by the Capital Support Agreement.Company or by the SEI-sponsored money market funds.

In August 2008, management concluded that the earnings potential and near term prospects of some of the issuers of the underlying securities held in the funds are uncertain and has determined that it iswas unlikely the investments will fully recover from a loss position in the foreseeable future. Due to these factors, the Company recordedwrote-down the cost basis for these investments to their current market value in August 2008.

Note 7. Capital Support Agreements

During the three months ended December 31,In 2007, the Company entered into Capital Support Agreements with three mutual funds (each a Fund or, together, the Funds), the SEI Daily Income Trust Prime Obligation Fund (the SDIT PO Fund), the SEI Daily Income Trust Money Market Fund (the SDIT MM Fund), and the SEI Liquid Asset Trust Prime Obligation Fund (the SLAT(SLAT PO Fund) (each a Fund or, together, the Funds). The Company is the advisor to the Funds. The sub-advisor to the Funds is Columbia Management, which is the primary investment management division of Bank of America Corporation. Various clients ofAmong other money market instruments, the Company are investors in the Funds. SDIT PO Fund is rated AAA and Aaa by Standards & Poor’s Corporation (S&P) and Moody’s Investor Services Inc. (Moody’s), respectively, and the SDIT MM Fund is rated Aaa by Moody’s.

The Funds among other securities, hold senior notes issued by SIVs. The senior notes are collateralized by residential mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, corporate collateralized debt obligations and collateralized debt obligations of asset-backed securities. AllSome of the SIVs ceased making payments on their outstanding notes on the scheduled maturity dates.

In October 2007, S&P advised the Company that it would place any mutual fund that had an AAA rating and owned certain SIVs on credit watch with negative implications unless the fund was provided credit support having an A-1 short-term rating by S&P. Although the Company was not obligated to provide the credit support required by S&P, in order to avoid a credit watch by S&P on the SDIT PO Fund, and to address the needs of customers who require an S&P AAA rating of the SDIT PO Fund, the The Company entered into the Capital Support AgreementAgreements to satisfy S&P’s requirement. provide the necessary credit support related to the SIVs in default held by the Funds.

The Company entered into similar agreementspurchased the remaining SIVs held by the SDIT MM Fund in September 2008 for a cash purchase price of $15,288. As a result of this purchase, the Capital Support Agreement with the SDIT MM and SLAT PO Funds.fund was canceled.

As of December 31, 2007,In March 2009, the aggregate limitCompany purchased all of the Company’s capital support commitments to the Funds according to the Capital Support Agreements was $130,500. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, certain SIVs within the Funds suffered either a technical default or substantial price devaluation, triggering ratings downgradesGryphon (formerly Cheyne) notes from the principal rating agencies. As a result, the carrying value of these securities in the Funds was reduced as well. In addition, S&P required an increase in the capital support commitment for the SDIT PO Fund to maintain the Fund’s credit rating. As a result of these events, the Company amended the Capital Support Agreements with the SDIT PO Fund and the SLAT PO Fund for a total cash purchase price of $194,913. As a result of this purchase, the Company recognized a loss of $129,932 and the Company’s obligation according to provide additional support.the Amended Capital Support Agreements was reduced by $116,038 for a net charge of $13,894.

On July 17, 2008, a significant SIV holding in Cheyne Finance LLC (Cheyne or Cheyne Notes) with an aggregate par value across the three Funds of $230,053 and market value on the books of the Funds of $151,835, or 66 percent of par value, was restructured. An opportunity was provided through the restructuring to liquidate the holdings for cash of approximately $117,327, or 51 percent of par value, including distributable cash. The Funds decided not to liquidate the holdings due to an assessment that the liquidation value understated the ultimate value of the underlying collateral. Instead, the Funds exchanged the Cheyne Notes for pass-through notes (Gryphon Notes) issued by a new entity, Gryphon Funding Limited, which holds the same collateral that was held in the Cheyne SIV.

On September 30, 2008,In June 2009, the Company purchased the Gryphon Notes heldremaining SIV securities owned by the SDIT MM Fund. TheSLAT PO Fund for a cash purchase price of $15,321$57,490. As a result of this purchase, the Company recognized a loss of $31,184. The Company had previously recognized $25,564 in unrealized losses according to the Amended Capital Support Agreement. The net charge pertaining to this purchase was $5,620 in the three months ended June 30, 2009. The Amended Capital Support Agreement with the SLAT PO Fund was canceled immediately after the purchase of the SIV securities.

The total cash paid to the Funds for the purchases of the SIV securities through June 30, 2009 was $267,691. The purchase prices paid to the Funds were equal to the amortized cost of these securities and their fair value at this date was $8,733. The Company recorded a loss of $6,588 as a result of this transaction. As of this date, the SDIT MM Fund no longer held any SIV securities and

on the Capital Support Agreement withdates of purchase. In order to finance the SDIT MM Fund lapsed.

As of September 30, 2008, the Company is committed to provide capital to the Funds, subject to the aggregate limit of $150,000 in the case of the SDIT PO Fund and $20,000 in the case of the SLAT PO Fund, if the Fund realizes payments or sales proceeds from specified SIV securities held by the Fund which are less than the amortized costpurchases of the SIV securities. As of September 30, 2008, upon the ultimate sale or other disposition of a SIV security, the amount of capital thatsecurities, the Company is requiredborrowed an aggregate $254,000 through the Credit Facility. The letters of credit posted to contribute to a Fund would becollateralize the least of the following amounts: (i) the amount, if any, by which the amortized cost of the SIV security exceeds the amount realized from the sale or other disposition of the SIV security; (ii) the amount, if any, necessary to restore the net asset value per share of the Fund to $0.9950 (or in the case of the SDIT PO Fund, so long as the SDIT PO Fund is rated AAA by S&P, $0.9975), or (iii) the remaining amount of the aggregate limit of the Capital Support Agreement applicable to the Fund, taking into account all prior contributions.

The Company secured $147,000 of the obligationsCompany’s obligation under the Capital Support Agreements for the SDIT PO and SLAT PO Funds through letters of credit of a third party bank rated A-1 by S&P. The Company had secured $3,000 of the previous obligations under the lapsed Capital Support Agreement with the SDIT MM Fund through a letter of credit. The letters of credit were issued under the Company’s existing credit facilityreduced from an aggregate $195,000 to $39,000 (See Note 8). The remaining $23,000 of the obligations is secured through segregated bank accounts. The Capital Support Agreements and the letters of credit have a term of one year and are scheduled to expire in November and December 2008.

In the event that the Company is required under the Capital Support Agreements to commit capital to any Fund, the Company will be required to pay the required capital contribution to the Fund and will not receive any consideration from the Fund, in the form of shares of the Fund or any other form, for the contributed capital. If the mark-to-market value of a SIV security is less than its amortized cost and if the aggregate net asset value of the Fund is less than $0.9950 (or in the case of theThe SDIT PO Fund so long as the SDIT PO Fund is rated AAA by S&P, $0.9975), then, even though the loss has not been realized through the sale or other disposition of thecontinues to hold one SIV security the Company will be obligated to commit the required amount of capital so that the Funds net asset value is at least $0.9950 (or in the case of the SDIT PO Fund, $0.9975). However, in this case, the Company is not required to pay the capital contribution to the Funds.

In connection with the Capital Support Agreements, the Company recorded an expense for $87,301 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, which is reflected in Net loss from investments on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of September 30, 2008, the aggregate obligation that the Company has recorded in connection with the Capital Support Agreements is $112,423, but the Company has not been required to pay such amount because the Funds have not realized any material losses from the ultimate sale or disposition of the SIV securities. Cash payments made under the Capital Support Agreements as of SeptemberJune 30, 2008 were minimal. At September 30, 2008, the aggregate2009 with a par value of $60,145. The Company’s obligation under the SIVs covered by the Capital Support Agreements on the books of the SDIT PO Fund and SLAT PO Fund was $348,355. At September 30, 2008, the aggregate market value of the SIVs covered by the Capital Support Agreements on the books of the two Funds was $223,320.

On November 5, 2008, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Capital Support Agreement with the SDIT PO Fund (the SDIT POwas $29,973 at June 30, 2009. The Amended Agreement) which extended the termination date under the original Capital Support Agreement with the SDIT PO Fund is scheduled to terminate in November 6, 2009. In addition,2009; however, the Company expects to purchase the remaining SIV security from the SDIT PO Amended Agreement requiresFund prior to the termination date of the agreement.

The Company recognized gains from the change in fair value and cash paydowns received from SIV securities of $3,360 and $2,812, respectively, during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009. Total SIV-related charges were $2,260 and $16,702 in the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2009, respectively. At June 30, 2009, the aggregate par value and market value of all SIV securities owned by the Company was $261,597 and $91,564, respectively.

The remaining Capital Support Agreement with the SDIT PO Fund is considered a derivative contract in accordance with applicable accounting guidance and is categorized as a Level 3 liability as specified by SFAS 157 (see Note 5). This Level 3 liability comprises 20 percent of the Company’s total current liabilities at June 30, 2009. The fair value of the derivative contract approximates the value of the Company’s actual obligation at June 30, 2009. The value of the Capital Support Agreement will be determined at least quarterly. In the event payments are not required to provide additional supportbe paid to the SDIT PO Fund, in order to maintain the Aaa rating of the Fund by Moody’s. The SDIT PO Amended Agreement provides that if the SDIT PO Fund realizes payments or sales proceeds from the ultimate disposition of any of the specified SIV securities which are less than its amortized cost, the Company will be required to provide capital to the Fund equal to the amount by which the amortized cost of the specified SIV security exceeds the amount realized from the sale or other disposition of such security. The specified SIV securities in the SDIT PO Fund had an aggregate par value of $272,512 on November 5, 2008. Under the SDIT PO Amended Agreement, the Company must maintain collateral in the form of a letter of credit and/or a segregated cash account equal to the difference between the amortized cost value and the market value of the specified SIV securities plus an amount equal to ten percent of the market value of the specified SIV securities. At current market values, the Company is not required to post any additional collateral pursuant to the SDIT PO Amended Agreement because the amount of collateral already maintained under the Capital Support Agreement prior to the execution of the SDIT PO Amended Agreement is sufficient to satisfy the Company’s collateral obligations. If the market values of the specified SIV securities decline further, however, the Companyexpense may be required to post additional collateral. Asreversed in a resultsubsequent period.

Page 23 of entering into the SDIT PO Amended Agreement on November 5, 2008, and assuming market values on that date hold, an additional non-cash expense of $13,926 would be recorded in the three months ended December 31, 2008.50

At this time, the termination date under the SLAT PO Fund Capital Support Agreement has not been extended and is currently scheduled to expire in December 2008. The Company may determine to seek an extension of the termination date under the SLAT PO Fund Capital Support Agreement.


As of November 6, 2008,July 31, 2009, the amount which would be accrued for the Company’s contribution obligationsobligation under the Amended Capital Support Agreements, including the SDIT PO Amended Agreement based on that day’s market value of the portfolio assets of the Funds, including the SIVs covered by the Capital Support Agreements, was $132,797.$29,973. Based upon this valuation and assuming no other changes in the portfolio assets through December 31, 2008, anSeptember 30, 2009, no additional non-cash expense of $20,373 would be recorded in the three months ended December 31, 2008.

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (Revised) (FIN 46(R)), the Company has a significant variable interest in the Funds as a result of the Capital Support Agreements but determined it was not the primary beneficiary and would not be required to consolidate the Funds in its Consolidated Financial Statements. The support provided by the Company would not absorb a majority of the variability created by the assets of the Funds.

The Company has determined that the Capital Support Agreements are derivative contracts. The fair value of the contracts was determined using a valuation model for credit default swaps. The fair value of the derivative contracts approximates the value of the Company’s actual obligation at September 30, 2008. The Company will adjust the value of the Capital Support Agreements quarterly. In the event the Company is not required to make any payments to the Funds, or values increase, such expense may be reversed in a subsequent period.2009.

The Company’s future obligation under the Amended Capital Support AgreementsAgreement is affected by changesprevailing conditions in the credit markets as they impact the value of the SIV securitiessecurity owned by the SDIT PO Fund and the creditworthiness of the SIV securities.security. The fair market value of the SIV securitiessecurity is derived from current market prices or, in the event no market price exists, management determines the fair value using various factors, including the Funds’ fairfrom independent external valuation procedures. The Company’s future obligation under the current SLAT PO Fund Capital Support Agreement is also affected by the overall asset levels of the SLAT PO Fund. Changes in the net asset value of the Fund are dependent upon net investments or redemptions in the Fund and the net asset value of the portfolio assets of the Fund. Changes in these amounts, including changes in portfolio assets resulting from mark-to-market adjustments, will affect the per share net asset value of the Fund.

The Company believes changes in the value of the specified SIV securities is the primary factor affecting its obligation and required collateral pertaining to the SDIT PO Amended Agreement. Changes in the value of the specified SIV securities can cause the Company’s obligation to fluctuate on a daily basis.sources (See Note 5).

Note 8. Lines of Credit

On July 25, 2007 (the Closing Date), theThe Company entered intohas a five-year $200,000$300,000 Credit Agreement (the Credit Facility) with certain lenders. The Credit Facility became available on the Closing Date and terminateswhich expires in July 2012. On March 19, 2008, the Company and the lenders amended the Credit Facility to increase the aggregate principal amount by $100,000 to $300,000. The aggregate amount of the Credit Facility may be increased by an additional $100,000 under certain conditions set forth in the agreement. At termination,2012, at which time any aggregate principal amount of loans outstanding under the Credit Facility becomes payable in full. Any borrowings made under the Credit Facility will accrue interest at 0.450.75 percent per annum above the London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”). There is also a commitment fee equal to 0.090.15 percent per annum on the daily unused portion of the facility. The aggregate amount of the Credit Facility may be increased by an additional $100,000 to $400,000 under certain conditions set forth in the agreement. The Credit Facility, as amended, contains various covenants, none of which negatively affect the Company’s liquidity or capital resources. Both the interest rate and commitment fee prices may increase if the Company’s leverage ratio reaches certain levels.

In 2009, the Company purchased SIV securities from the SEI-sponsored money market mutual funds (See Note 7). In order to finance the purchases of the SIV securities, the Company borrowed $254,000 from the Credit Facility. As a result of the purchases, the letters of credit posted to collateralize the Company’s obligations under the Amended Capital Support Agreements were reduced from an aggregate $195,000 to $39,000. The Company was in compliance with all covenants of the Credit Facility during 2009.

As of June 30, 2009, the Company’s ability to borrow from the Credit Facility is not limited by any covenant of the agreement. In management’s opinion, the leverage ratio is the most restrictive of all of the covenants contained in the Credit Facility. The leverage ratio is calculated as consolidated indebtedness divided by earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and other items as defined by the covenant during the last four quarters (EBITDA). The amount of consolidated indebtedness according to the terms of the covenant includes the capital commitment under the Amended Capital Support Agreements and the outstanding debt of LSV Employee Group. The Company must maintain at all times prior to and including September 30, 2008,2009, a ratio of consolidated indebtedness of not more than 2.25 times the amount of EBITDA, at all times from October 1, 2009 through and including December 31, 2009, not more than 2.00 times EBITDA, and at all times thereafter, not more than 1.75 times EBITDA. As of June 30, 2009, the Company’s leverage ratio is 1.36 times EBITDA.

Through the Credit Facility, the Company provided letters of credit of a third party bank to secure $150,000 ofthe existing obligations of the Company under the Amended Capital Support Agreements were issued underAgreements. As of June 30, 2009, the Credit FacilityCompany had a total of $39,000 in order to satisfy a major rating agency’s requirement that the Funds have credit support having an A-1 short-term rating (See Note 7).outstanding letters of credit. The letters of credit have a term of one year and contain a fronting fee of 0.125 percent per annum on the face amount of each letter of credit which is payable quarterly in arrears. In addition, a participation fee ofranging from 0.45 percent to 1.25 percent, depending upon the Company’s leverage ratio, is payable quarterly in arrears on the face amount of each letter of credit. The participation fee may increase if the Company’s leverage ratio reaches certain levels. As the letters of credit remain outstanding, the amount available under the Credit Facility will be reduced by the face amount of the letters of credit. Therefore, $150,000The letters of credit are due to expire in November and early December 2009.

As of July 31, 2009, letters of credit of $39,000 to secure the existing obligations of the Company under the Amended Capital Support Agreements remained outstanding. The amount of the Credit Facility is committed and only the remaining $150,000that is unrestricted and may be usedavailable for other purposes as determined by the Company. Certain provisions and terms of the Credit Facility were amended that provide for a waiver of any breach to various covenants. The Company had no borrowings under the Credit Facility and was in compliance with all covenants at September 30, 2008. In November 2008, the Company and the lenders under the Credit Facility amended theis $7,000.

Also in November 2008, the Company obtained a letter of credit of a third party bank for $6,000 with a term of one year. As of November 6, 2008, $156,000 of the Credit Facility is committed and only the remaining $144,000 is unrestricted and may be used for other purposes as determined by the Company.its fair value.

The Company’s Canadian subsidiary has a credit facility agreement (the Canadian Credit Facility) for the purpose of facilitating the settlement of mutual fund transactions. The Canadian Credit Facility has no stated expiration date. The amount of the facility is generally limited to $2,000 Canadian dollars or the equivalent amount in U.S. dollars. The Canadian Credit Facility does not contain any covenants which restrict the liquidity or capital resources of the Company. The Company had no borrowings under the Canadian Credit Facility and was in compliance with all covenants during the ninethree months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008.2009.

Note 9. Shareholders’ Equity

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company currently has one active equity compensation plan, the 2007 Equity Compensation Plan (the 2007 Plan), which provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and stock appreciation rights with respect to up to 20 million shares of common stock of the Company, subject to adjustment for stock splits, reclassifications, mergers and other events. Permitted grantees under the 2007 Plan include employees, non-employee directors and consultants who perform services for the Company. The plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. There were no grants of incentive stock options or stock appreciation rights made under the plan in 20082009 or 2007.2008.

The Company discontinued any further grants under the Company’s 1998 Equity Compensation Plan (the 1998 Plan) as a result of the approval of the 2007 Plan. No options are available for grant from this plan. Grants made from the 1998 Plan continue in effect under the terms of the grant.

All outstanding stock options have performance based vesting conditions based onprovisions that tie the attainmentvesting of certainstock options to the Company’s financial performance. The Company’s stock options vest at a rate of 50 percent when a specified diluted earning per share target is achieved, and the remaining 50 percent when a second, higher specified diluted earnings per share targets established attarget is achieved. Stock options granted prior to 2006 fully vest after seven years from the date of grant. Beginning in 2006, the seven year vesting trigger was eliminated and, as a result, options do not vest due to the passage of time but solely as a result of achievement of the financial vesting targets. Earnings per share targets are calculated exclusive of stock-based compensation expense, net of tax. The first performance condition determines vestingdiluted earnings per share targets are established at time of 50 percent of the options,grant and a second performance condition determines the vesting of the remaining 50 percent of the options. The performance conditions are measured annually on December 31. Options granted priorThe amount of stock-based compensation expense is based upon management’s estimate of when the earnings per share targets may be achieved. If management’s estimate of the attainment of the earnings per share targets proves to 2006 alsobe inaccurate, the remaining amount of stock-based compensation expense could vestbe accelerated, spread out over a longer period, or reversed. This may cause volatility in their entirety seven years from the daterecognition of grant. All options outstanding have a ten year life. The Company believes that awarding stock options with performance-based vesting schedules better alignsstock-based compensation expense in future periods and could materially affect the interests of stockholdersCompany’s net income and employees.net income per share.

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense in its Consolidated Financial Statements in the three month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20082009 and 2007,2008, respectively, as follows:

Management expects that certain option grants, which do not vest due to the passage of time, will not attain their higher specified diluted earnings per share targets; therefore, the Company has discontinued the amortization of the unrecognized stock-based compensation cost associated with these grants. These option grants have an unrecognized compensation cost of $21,299.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2008,2009, there was approximately $53,679$45,154 of unrecognized compensation cost remaining, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, related to unvested employee stock options.

Revenues earned by LSV were $215.5$89.3 million in the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20082009 compared to $263.5$150.9 million in the prior year comparable period, a decrease of $48.0$61.6 million or 1841 percent. Our proportionate share in the earnings of LSV in the ninesix month period of 20082009 was $81.6$31.1 million compared to $101.1$57.7 million for the same period in 2007,2008, a decrease of $19.5$26.6 million or 1946 percent.

 

We recorded a non-cash chargeOur earnings were adversely affected by further losses of $34.2$2.3 million (or $.11 diluted earnings per share) and $87.3$16.7 million (or $.28 diluted earnings per share) in the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2008,2009, respectively, associated with SIV-related issues involving SEI-sponsored money market funds. Cumulative losses from SIV-related issues as of June 30, 2009 totaled $200.0 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we borrowed $254.0 million from our credit facility and used the proceeds to purchase a majority of the SIV securities held by the funds. As a result, the Capital Support Agreement related to agreements that provide capital support to money market funds holding investments that are exposed to liquidity and credit risk (See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). On September 30, 2008, we purchased investments from one of our money market funds included in these agreements. The cash purchase price of $15.3 millionSLAT Prime Obligation Fund was equal to the amortized cost of these investments and we immediately recorded a loss of $6.6 million (or $.02 diluted earnings per share) from the transaction. The support agreement applicable to those securities lapsed. These support agreements are described in greater detailcanceled. Our obligation under the captionCapital Support Agreement with the SDIT Prime Obligation Fund was $30.0 million at June 30, 2009 (See “Money Market Fund Support” later in this discussion.discussion).

 

We recognized an additional $7.1 millioncontinued to invest in amortization expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 due to the initial release of the Global Wealth Platform which was placed into service in July 2007. The amortization expense was primarily recognized inand its operational infrastructure. During the Private Banks and Investment Advisors business segments. We capitalized $39.5 million in the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20082009, we capitalized $24.6 million for significant enhancements and new functionality for the platform, as compared to $50.1$25.9 million in the comparable period of 2007 as a larger portion of our costs were incurred for maintenance and support for the operation of the platform. Capitalized costs in 2008 were for enhancements and upgrades to expand the functionality of the Global Wealth Platform.2008. We will continue to incur significant development costs for these enhancements and upgrades. Our intention is to implement enhancements and upgrades into the platform through a series of releases. TheFuture releases may include enhancements that could replace significant components that currently exist in the platform. If this occurs, we would immediately expense the remaining net book value of previously capitalized development costs of those components that were replaced. We expect the next release of the Global Wealth Platform to occur in the fourth quarter of 2009. This release may include enhancements that replace certain functionality in the current version of the platform. We estimate the remaining net book value of the replaced functionality to be approximately $15.0 million which would be expensed sometime in 2009.

Our operating expenses during the first six months of 2009 decreased across all of our business segments. A portion of these declines were due to lower direct costs related to reduced revenues. In addition, a significant portion of these declines resulted from initiatives to reduce discretionary expenses across the company. Included in these actions were the elimination of non-strategic activities, process improvements and a reduction in our global workforce, which was undertaken during the first quarter of 2009. We incurred one-time termination costs associated with these releases will be amortized over the remaining useful lifeworkforce reduction of approximately $6.3 million during the platform.first quarter of 2009, which is included in Compensation, benefits and other personnel expense on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, we recognized approximately $13.0 million and $20.5 million, respectively, in stock-based compensation expense. This decrease was primarily due to stock options vesting in December 2007 and changes in our estimates in 2008Page 35 of when outstanding stock options would vest. Our expenses recognized from stock options are described in greater detail under the caption “Stock-Based Compensation” later in this discussion.50


The prevailing economic conditions and issues surrounding the credit markets have extended our sales cycles and slowed the sales of new business, particularly in the Private Banks and Investment Advisors segments.business. This resulted in a decrease in the amount of sales compensation expense which has provided some supportexpense.

Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2009 benefited from the realization of prior unrecognized tax benefits related to the conclusion of federal and state income tax audits during the first quarter of 2009. Our effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2009 was 36.8 percent. We expect our operating margins in these business segments.effective tax rates for the remaining quarters of 2009 to continue at or near this level.

 

We continued our stock repurchase program during 2009 and purchased approximately 4,668,000980,000 shares at an average price of approximately $24$14 per share in the ninesix month period.

 

Page 29In March 2009, certain partners of 43LSV, including SEI, agreed to designate a portion of their partnership interest for the purpose of providing an interest in the partnership to a select group of key LSV employees. In April 2009, these contributing partners agreed to provide certain key LSV employees an interest in LSV thereby reducing our interest in LSV to approximately 42 percent. We evaluated the effect of this transaction in accordance with the guidance established in SFAS 160 and determined that the reduction of our interest in LSV was not a significant economic event that had any effect on the control of the operations or affairs of LSV. Our controlling interest in LSV was unchanged. We continue to consolidate the assets, liabilities and operations of LSV and LSV Employee Group.


Money Market Fund Support

In 2007, we entered into Capital Support Agreements with the SEI Daily Income Trust Prime Obligation Fund (the SDIT PO Fund), the SEI Daily Income Trust Money Market Fund (the SDIT MM Fund), and the SEI Liquid Asset Trust Prime Obligation Fund (the SLAT(SLAT PO Fund) (each a Fund or, together, the Funds). The terms, conditions and conditionssubsequent amendments of the Capital Support Agreements are described in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K in Part I,II, Item 2.7 under the caption titled “Money Market Fund Support”.

As of December 31, 2007,We purchased the aggregate limit of our required capital contributions to the Funds according to the Capital Support Agreements was $130.5 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, certain structured investment vehicles (SIV or SIVs) within the Funds suffered either a technical default or substantial price devaluation, triggering ratings downgrades from the principal rating agencies. As a result, the carrying value of these securities in the Funds was reduced as well. In addition, Standard & Poor’s required the posting of additional capital support forremaining SIVs held by the SDIT POMM Fund to maintain the Fund’s credit rating.in September 2008 for a cash purchase price of $15.3 million. As a result of these events, we amendedthis purchase, the Capital Support AgreementsAgreement with the SDIT MM fund was canceled.

In March 2009, we purchased all of the Gryphon (formerly Cheyne) notes from the SDIT PO Fund and the SLAT PO Fund to provide additional capital support. We also amended our credit facility to increase the aggregate amount available for borrowings by $100.0 million to $300.0 million (See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information related to the letters of credit and credit facility).

On July 17, 2008, the SIV holding in Cheyne Finance LLC (Cheyne) had an aggregate par value across the three Funds of $230.1 million and market value on the books of the Funds of $151.8 million, or 66 percent of par value. On this date, the SIV holding in Cheyne was restructured and an opportunity was provided to liquidate the holdings for cash of approximately $117.3 million, or 51 percent of par value, including distributable cash. The Funds decided not to liquidate the holdings due to an assessment that the liquidation value understated the ultimate value of the underlying collateral. Instead, the Funds exchanged the Cheyne notes for pass-through notes (Gryphon Notes) issued by a new entity, Gryphon Funding Limited, which holds the same collateral that was held in the Cheyne SIV.

On September 30, 2008, we purchased the Gryphon Notes held by the SDIT MM Fund. Thetotal cash purchase price of $15.3$194.9 million. As a result of this purchase, we recognized a loss of $129.9 million and our obligation according to the Amended Capital Support Agreements was reduced by $116.0 million for a net charge of $13.9 million.

In June 2009, we purchased the remaining SIV securities owned by the SLAT PO Fund for a cash purchase price of $57.5 million. As a result of this purchase, we recognized a loss of $31.2 million. We had previously recognized $25.6 million in unrealized losses according to the Amended Capital Support Agreement. The net charge pertaining to this purchase was $5.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2009. The Amended Capital Support Agreement with the SLAT PO Fund was canceled immediately after the purchase of the SIV securities.

The total cash paid to the Funds for the purchases of the SIV securities through June 30, 2009 was $267.7 million. The purchase prices paid to the Funds were equal to the amortized cost of thesethe SIV securities on the dates of purchase. In order to finance the purchases of the SIV securities, we borrowed an aggregate $254.0 million through our credit facility. The letters of credit posted to collateralize our obligation under the Capital Support Agreements were reduced from an aggregate $195.0 million to $39.0 million (See Liquidity and their fairCapital Resources section later in this discussion).

The SDIT PO Fund continues to hold one SIV security with a par value at this date was $8.7 million. The Company recognized a loss of $6.6$60.1 million as a result of this transaction. As of this date,June 30, 2009. Our obligation under the SDIT MM Fund no longer held any SIV securities and theAmended Capital Support Agreement with the SDIT MM Fund lapsed.

As of September 30, 2008, we are committed to provide capital support to the Funds subject to an aggregate limit of $150.0 million for the SDIT PO Fund and $20.0was $30.0 million for the SLAT PO Fund for a total aggregate limit of $170.0 million. Of the new aggregate limit, we secured $147.0 million by our credit facility through letters of credit of a third party bank and secured the remaining $23.0 million through segregated bank accounts. We had secured $3.0 million of the previous obligations under the lapsedat June 30, 2009. The Amended Capital Support Agreement with the SDIT MMPO Fund through a letter of credit which is duescheduled to expireterminate in November 2008. As of September 30, 2008,2009; however, we expect to purchase the amount of our credit facility that is unrestricted and may be used for general purposes was $150.0 million. The Capital Support Agreements forremaining SIV security from the SDIT PO Fund andprior to the SLAT PO Fund and the related letters of credit have scheduled expiration dates in November and December 2008.

In connection with the Capital Support Agreements, we recorded an expense for $87.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, which is reflected in Net loss from investments on the Consolidated Statements of Operationstermination date of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements. As of September 30, 2008, the aggregate amount of our obligation recorded in connection with the Capital Support Agreements was $112.4 million, but this amount was not required to be paid since the Funds have not realized any material lossesagreement.

We recognized gains from the ultimate sale or dispositionchange in fair value and cash paydowns received from SIV securities of $3.4 million and $2.8 million, respectively, during the SIV securities. Cash payments made underthree and six month periods ended June 30, 2009. Total SIV-related charges were $2.3 million and $16.7 million in the Capital Support Agreements as of Septemberthree and six months periods ended June 30, 2008 were minimal.2009, respectively. At SeptemberJune 30, 2008,2009, the aggregate par value and market value of the SIVs coveredall SIV securities owned by the Capital Support Agreements on the books of the two Fundsus was $348.4$261.6 million and $223.3$91.6 million, respectively. Included in these amounts is a significant SIV holding in Gryphon with an aggregate par value across the two Funds of $201.7 million and a market value on the books of the Funds of $115.0 million, or 57 percent of par value.

On November 5, 2008, we entered into anremaining Amended and Restated Capital Support Agreement with the SDIT PO Fund (the SDIT PO Amended Agreement) which extended the termination date under the original Capital Support Agreement with the SDIT PO Fund to November 6, 2009. In addition, the SDIT PO Amended Agreement requires us to provide additional supportrelated to the SDIT PO Fund is considered a derivative contract in order to maintain the Aaa ratingaccordance with applicable accounting guidance and is categorized as a Level 3 liability as specified by SFAS 157 (See Fair Value Measurements section later in this discussion). This Level 3 liability comprises 20 percent of our total current liabilities at June 30, 2009. The fair value of the Fund by Moody’s.Amended Capital Support Agreement approximates the value of our actual obligation at June 30, 2009. The SDIT POvalue of the Amended Capital Support Agreement provides that ifrelated to the SDIT PO Fund realizes payments or sales proceeds from the ultimate disposition of any of the specified SIV securities which are less than its amortized cost, we will be determined at least quarterly. In the event payments are not required to provide capitalbe paid to the Fund equal to the amount by which the amortized cost of the specified SIV security exceeds the amount realized from the sale or other disposition of such security. The specified SIV securities in the SDIT PO Fund, had an aggregate par value of $272.5 million on November 5, 2008. Under the SDIT PO Amended Agreement, we must maintain collateral in the form of a letter of credit and/or a segregated cash account equal to the difference between the amortized cost value and the market value of the specified SIV securities plus an amount equal to ten percent of the market value of the specified SIV securities. At current market values, we are not required to post any additional collateral pursuant to the SDIT PO Amended Agreement because the amount of collateral already maintained under the Capital Support Agreement prior to the execution of the SDIT PO Amended Agreement is sufficient to satisfy our collateral obligations. If the market values of the specified SIV securities decline further, however, wesuch expense may be required to post additional collateral. Asreversed in a result of entering into the SDIT PO Amended Agreement on November 5, 2008, and assuming market values on that date hold, an additional non-cash expense of $13.9 million would be recorded in the fourth quarter 2008. In November 2008, we amended the terms of the Credit Facility with the lenders to increase the maximum amount of contingent obligations that we may incur to $297.5 million, the maximum amount that is required under the Capital Support Agreements, including the SDIT PO Amended Agreement. We also obtained a letter of credit from a third party bank for $6.0 million. This letter of credit is scheduled to expire in November 2009. subsequent period.

As of November 6, 2008, the amount of our credit facility that is unrestricted and may be used for general purposes was $144.0 million.

At this time, the termination date under the SLAT PO Fund Capital Support Agreement has not been extended and is currently scheduled to expire in December 2008. We may determine to seek an extension of the termination date under the SLAT PO Fund Capital Support Agreement.

All SIVs that remain on the books of the two Funds covered by the Capital Support Agreements at November 6, 2008 are in default. Three of the five remaining SIVs have restructured. We believe that the remaining defaulted SIV securities will be restructured, although we cannot predict the timing or net impact the restructuring will ultimately have on the realized value of these SIV securities. As of November 6, 2008,July 31, 2009, the amount which would be accrued for our contribution obligationsobligation under the Amended Capital Support AgreementsAgreement was $132.8$30.0 million. At the close of business on November 6, 2008, the aggregate par value and market value of the SIVs covered by the Capital Support Agreements on the books of the two Funds was $345.1 million and $205.1 million, respectively. Based upon this valuation and assuming no other changes in the portfolio assets through December 31, 2008, anSeptember 30, 2009, no additional non-cash expense of $20.4 million would be recorded in the fourth quarter 2008. For further information regardingthree months ended September 30, 2009.

In November 2008, the amount of support provided to the SDIT PO Fund was increased to $272.5 million pursuant to the SDIT PO Amended Agreement and the amount of support provided to the SLAT PO Fund was increased to $25.0 million.

We have a significant variable interest in the Funds as a result ofFunds. Therefore, we needed to determine if we were the primary beneficiary according to the provisions established in FIN 46(R). Our analysis concluded that we were not the primary beneficiary because the support we provide under the Capital Support Agreements according to the provisions of FIN 46(R); however, we have determined that we are not the primary beneficiary and would not be required to consolidate the Funds in our Consolidated Financial Statements. The support we provided would not absorb a majority of the variability created by the assets of the Funds. As a result, we were not required to consolidate the accounts of the Funds into our Consolidated Financial Statements.

TheOur future obligation under the Amended Capital Support Agreements are considered derivative contracts in accordance with applicable accounting guidance and are categorized as Level 3 liabilities as specified by SFAS 157 (See Notes 1 and 5Agreement related to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information relatedSDIT PO Fund is affected by a number of factors including, but not limited to, SFAS 157). These Level 3 liabilities comprise approximately 42 percent of our total current liabilities. The fair value ofprevailing conditions in the contracts was determined using a valuation model for credit default swaps. The fair value of the derivative contracts approximates the value of our actual obligation at September 30, 2008.

We believe changes inmarkets as they impact the value of the specifiedSIV security owned by the Fund and the creditworthiness of the SIV security. The fair market value of the SIV security is derived from current market prices or, in the event no market price exists, from external valuation sources (See Fair Value Measurements section later in this discussion).

The market value of the underlying collateral of the SIV securities is the primary factor that affects our obligationowned by us and required collateral pertaining toheld by the SDIT PO Amended Agreement. ChangesFund has the most significant impact on our exposure to future losses from SIV-related issues. The losses we recognize from the change in themarket value of the specified SIV securities can causeunderlying collateral and our obligation tounder the Capital Support Agreement can fluctuate on a daily basis. Based on actual values as of November 6, 2008,July 31, 2009, the impact of a change of one percent movement in the value of theseSIV securities would cause our obligation with respect toowned by us or held by the SDIT PO Amended AgreementFund would be approximately $3.2 million to change by approximately $2.7 million and our required collateral would change by approximately $2.4 million.earnings.

Stock-Based Compensation

OurAll outstanding stock options have performance based vesting conditions based onprovisions that tie the attainmentvesting of certain earnings per share targets establishedstock options to our financial performance. Our stock options vest at the date of grant. The first performance condition determines vestinga rate of 50 percent of the options,when a specified diluted earning per share target is achieved, and a second performance condition determines the vesting of the remaining 50 percent of the options. The performance conditions are measured annually on December 31. Optionswhen a second, higher specified diluted earnings per share target is achieved. Stock options granted prior to 2006 also couldfully vest in their entiretyafter seven years from the date of grant. Beginning in 2006, the seven year vesting trigger was eliminated and, as a result, options do not vest due to the passage of time but solely as a result of achievement of the financial vesting targets. Earnings per share targets are calculated exclusive of stock-based compensation expense, net of tax. The diluted earnings per share targets are established at time of grant and are measured annually on December 31. The amount of stock-based compensation expense is based upon our estimates of when we believe the earnings per share targets may be achieved. If our estimate of the attainment of the earnings per share targets proves to be inaccurate, the remaining amount of stock-based compensation expense could be accelerated, spread out over a longer period, or reversed. This may cause volatility in the recognition of stock-based compensation expense in future periods and could materially affect our net income and net income per share. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we revised our estimate made as of December 31, 2008 of when certain vesting targets are expected to be achieved. This change in management’s estimate resulted in a decrease of $3.6 million in stock-based compensation expense in the six months ended June 30, 2009.

During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20082009 and 2007,2008, we recognized approximately $13.0$6.8 million and $20.5$9.2 million, respectively, in stock-based compensation expense, a decrease of $7.5$2.4 million. This decrease consisted of the following components:

We expect that certain option grants, which do not vest due to the passage of time, will not attain their higher specified diluted earnings per share targets and; therefore, we discontinued the amortization of the unrecognized stock-based compensation cost associated with these grants. These option grants have an unrecognized compensation cost of $21.3 million.

Based upon our current view of the number ofhow many options that will vest and when they will vest, we estimate that stock-based compensation expense will be recognized according to the following schedule:

Losses from Capital Support Agreements include a non-cash charge of $34.2 million and $87.3 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, related to agreements that provide capital support to money market funds (See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

On September 30, 2008,In March 2009, we purchased thecertain SIV securities issued by the SIVs held byfrom the SDIT Money Market Fund. ThePO Fund and the SLAT PO Fund for a cash purchase price of $15.3 million$194.9 million. In June 2009, we purchased the remaining SIV securities in the SLAT PO Fund for a cash purchase price of $57.5 million. The cash purchase prices paid to the Funds was equal to the amortized cost of these securities and their fair value at this date was $8.7 million.the securities. We elected the fair value option under SFAS 159 whereby the unrealized gains and losses of the securities are recognized in current earnings. TheAs of June 30, 2009, the total unrealized losses from the purchases of the SIV securities ofwere approximately $6.6$160.7 million and are included in Decrease in fair value of financial instruments (See Notes 6 and 7instruments. The reductions in our obligation related to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

We have investments in two SEI-sponsored mutual funds which primarily invest in fixed-income securities, including debt securities issued by municipalities and mortgage-backed securities. These investments have been in an unrealized loss position for an extended period of time. Management believes that the earnings potential and near term prospects of someCapital Support Agreements as a result of the issuerspurchases of the underlyingSIV securities heldare included in the funds are uncertainGains (losses) from Capital Support Agreements (See “Money Market Fund Support” earlier in this discussion).

Interest and has determined that it is unlikely the investments will fully recover from a loss position in the foreseeable future. Due to these factors, we recorded an impairment charge of approximately $2.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2008 and classified this charge as an Other-than-temporary decline in market value. At September 30, 2008, the new cost basis of these investments, inclusive of the impairment charge, was approximately $16.0 million and the fair value was approximately $14.6 million.dividend income

Interest income is earned based upon the amount of cash that is invested daily.daily in short-term, highly liquid financial instruments, mainly money market funds. The decrease in interest income in the ninesix month period of 20082009 compared to 20072008 was primarily due to a decline in interest ratesrates.

Interest expense

Interest expense includes the interest charges and lower cash balances.fees related to the borrowings under our Credit Facility and the borrowings of LSV Employee Group. The increase in interest expense in 2009 compared to 2008 is due to the expense incurred through our borrowings under the Credit Facility.

Noncontrolling interest

Noncontrolling interest includes the amount owned by other partners of LSV, partners of LSV Employee Group and the other shareholders of our Korean joint venture in which we have a significant or controlling interest.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rates were 36.536.8 percent and 34.437.1 percent for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20082009 and 2007,2008, respectively. For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20082009 and 2007,2008, our effective tax rates were 36.930.3 percent and 36.537.1 percent, respectively. The increasedecrease in our effective tax rates was primarily due to the unavailability of tax credits for research and development. The statute that allows research and development tax credit expired on December 31, 2007 and it was not renewed until October 3, 2008 when the President signed the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act. We expect to see a favorable impact on our effective tax rate in the fourth quartersix month period ended June 30, 2009 from the comparable period in 2008 was primarily due to the renewalrealization of prior unrecognized tax benefits related to the conclusion of federal and state income tax audits during the first quarter of 2009. We expect our effective tax rate for the remaining quarters of 2009 will be at or near our effective rate for the three months ended June 30, 2009.

In May 2009, the President proposed significant changes to the U.S. international tax laws, including a change which would subject the unrepatriated earnings of our non-U.S subsidiaries to be taxed at the U.S. federal income tax rate. These proposals would be effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2010. If enacted and depending upon its precise terms, such legislation could increase our overall effective tax rate. We will continue to monitor this legislation.and other legislative proposals to determine what affect they would have on our tax rate.

Fair Value Measurements

WeThe fair value of our financial assets and liabilities underis determined in accordance with the fair value hierarchy established in SFAS 157. MostNo. 157 (SFAS 157), “Fair Value Measurements.” The fair value of most of our financial assets are valueddetermined using Level 1 or Level 2 inputs.inputs and consist mainly of investments in equity or fixed-income mutual funds that are quoted daily and Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) securities that are single issuer pools that are valued based on current market data of similar assets. Our Level 3 financial assets and liabilities consist solelymainly of SIV securities issued by SIVs and the remaining Capital Support Agreements,Agreement with the SDIT PO Fund. The Capital Support Agreement is considered a derivative liability for accounting purposes, for which therethe fair value is not an active market for identical assets or liabilities from which to determine fair value. Also, there is not enough sufficient, current market information about similar assets or liabilities to use as observable data for all significant inputs into a valuation model. As of September 30, 2008, our Level 3 financials assets consist of approximately nine percent ofbased principally on changes in the total assets we record at fair value.

Page 36 of 43


The fair value of theSIV securities issuedheld by the SIVsSDIT PO Fund.

Recent liquidity issues surrounding collateralized debt obligations and asset-backed securities has greatly affected the fair value of SIV securities. Given the lack of any reliable market data on the SIV securities owned by us or held by SEI-sponsored money market funds, the fair value of these securities is determined using a net asset value approach which considers the value of the underlying assets.collateral of the SIV securities. The valuation model is maintained by an independent third party. The underlying assetscollateral is comprised of asset-backed securities and collateralized debt obligations that are specifically identified by its CUSIP or ISIN number. We obtain quotes primarily from two independent external pricing vendors for each security. Other pricing vendors may be used in limited situations when a security quote can not be obtained from either of the two primary independent external pricing vendors. The average of the two quotes received is used to value each security. Additionally, the securities are aggregated by type or sector (i.e. home equity line of credit, sub-prime 1st liens, residential mortgage-backed securities, etc.) and the weighted average quote of all securities within a sector held by the SIV is compared with the range of quotes received for similar securities within the same sector from the trading desk of an affiliate of the third party that maintains the SIV pricing model. The weighted average quote of all securities within a sector held by the SIV must be within the range of quotes received from the trading desk within that same sector. If the weighted average quote for all securities within a sector held by the SIV is outside that range, the average quote received from the pricing vendors may be adjusted. In any event, the value assigned to each security held by the SIV will be the lower of (i) the average of the quotes received from the pricing vendors or (ii) the lowest quote received from the trading desk for a similar security.

Securities that lack price quotes are adjusted by the weighted average percentage movement of securities held as collateral within the same sector classification. For example, a residential mortgage-backed security that has not received a quote for an extended period of time will be adjusted by the weighted average percentage movement of all quoted residential mortgage-backed securities held as collateral by the SIV security. Also, as previously stated, the weighted average price of all securities within a sector is compared with the range of quotes received from the trading desk of an affiliate of the independent third party that maintains the valuation model. The weighted average quote of all securities within a sector must be within the range of quotes received from the trading desk within that same sector. If the average quote is not within the range, the quote may be adjusted. The average quote will only be adjusted downward to the lowest figure.

The pricing vendors utilize widely-accepted pricing models, which are evaluated by the pricing vendor, that vary by asset class and incorporate available trade, bid, and other market information. The market inputs that these vendors seek for their evaluation of securities include: benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and other available market data. Broker quotes may be binding or non-binding. For certain security types, additional inputs may be used. The pricing vendors may prioritize inputs differently from time to time for any security based on current market conditions. For each asset class, the pricing vendor has a team of evaluators that gather information from market sources and integrate relevant credit information, perceived market movements and sector news into the evaluated pricing models. For a structured security evaluation, including mortgage-backed securities, these evaluators would consider various characteristics including issuer, vintage, purpose of loan, collateral attributes, prepayment speeds and credit ratings in order to properly identify trades and quotes for similar securities which are gathered for use in the evaluation process. Evaluators follow multiple review processes throughout each month that assess the available market, credit and deal level information in support of the evaluation process. If it is determined that sufficient objectively verifiable information does not exist to support a security’s valuation, the pricing vendor will discontinue providing a quote on that security. As previously stated, securities that lack a quote from a pricing vendor are valued using external pricing services that incorporate market information, where available, or through the use of matrix pricing or other acceptable measures. Securities which lack market information are grouped by sector and valued by utilizing the most recent quoted price of the underlying asset and adjusting that price by the weighted average percentage change in the respective sector using indices orof all other relative benchmarks.similar securities that are held by the SIV.

We evaluated the inputs used by the pricing vendors in accordance with the fair value hierarchy established in SFAS 157. This process required gaining an understanding of their valuation methodologies, processes, models and inputs. The Capital Support Agreementspricing vendors provided information about each model, the inputs used and the order of priority of each input. In the event we disagree with a quoted price from a vendor, we may challenge that price and

Page 42 of 50


request an evaluation. We considered each vendor’s qualification to provide quotes pertaining to each security. All pricing vendors used are considered to be market leaders that have a long history of providing reliable information to their clients.

In the only financial liabilities recorded atevent a market transaction does exist for a SIV security, we evaluate the publicly available information surrounding the transaction in order to assess if the price used represents the fair value. Thevalue according to the guidance in SFAS 157. In our opinion, the price of certain SIV securities used in recent transactions were from distressed sales and did not represent the implied fair value of the Capital Support Agreements is determined through the use of an option pricing model designed for credit default swaps. The value is primarily affectedSIV securities held by assumptions pertaining to the underlying assets, mainly default percentages and recovery rates specific to each security coveredus or by the Capital Support Agreement.SEI-sponsored money market funds.

Fair value modelsNew Accounting Pronouncement

On June 12, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (SFAS 167), which amends FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” (FIN 46(R)), to require an enterprise to perform an ongoing analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or other techniques are sensitiveinterests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. Additionally, an enterprise is required to assumptions usedassess whether it has an implicit financial responsibility to ensure that a variable interest entity operates as designed when determining whether it has the power to direct the activities of the variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. SFAS 167 amends FIN 46(R) to require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. Before this Statement, FIN 46(R) required reconsideration of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity only when specific events occurred. SFAS 167 also amends FIN 46(R) to add an additional reconsideration event for significant inputs. Where market data is available, the inputs used for valuation reflect that information as of our valuation date.

We have arrangements with two mutual funds sponsoredthe agreement. Of all of the covenants, we believe satisfying the leverage ratio could be the most difficult in the future. The leverage ratio is calculated as consolidated indebtedness divided by SEIearnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and other items as previously describeddefined by the covenant during the last four quarters (EBITDA). The amount of consolidated indebtedness according to the terms of the covenant include the capital commitment under the section “Money MarketCapital Support Agreement with the SDIT PO Fund Support.”and the outstanding debt of LSV Employee Group. We must maintain at all times prior to and including September 30, 2009, a ratio of consolidated indebtedness of not more than 2.25 times the amount of EBITDA, at all times from October 1, 2009 through and including December 31, 2009, not more than 2.00 times EBITDA, and at all times thereafter, not more than 1.75 times EBITDA. As of November 6, 2008,June 30, 2009, our leverage ratio is 1.36 times EBITDA. Although we may be requiredexpect this ratio to provide capitalincrease in 2009 if unfavorable market conditions persist, we do not anticipate that this covenant or any covenant of the credit facility will restrict our ability to these mutual funds under certain conditions up to an aggregate amount of $296.4 million. In the event that capital must be provided to these mutual funds, we may, at our discretion, utilize the credit facility or contributefacility.

The obligation under the required capital from unrestricted cash. However, so long asCapital Support Agreement with the SDIT PO Fund is secured by letters of credit remain outstanding,of a third party bank rated A-1 by S&P. The letters of credit were issued under the credit facility. The letters of credit have a term of one year with expiration dates beyond the expiration date of the Capital Support Agreement. The amount available under the credit facility will beis reduced by the total amount of the letters of credit.credit outstanding. In order to finance the purchase of the SIV securities, we borrowed an aggregate $254.0 million through the credit facility. As a result of the purchases of the SIV securities from the Funds in 2008 and 2009, the letters of credit posted to collateralize our obligations under the Capital Support Agreements was reduced to $39.0 million as of June 30, 2009.

As of July 31, 2009, letters of credit of $39.0 million remained outstanding and our total borrowings through the credit facility remained at $254.0 million. Therefore, only the remaining $144.0$7.0 million of the credit facility is unrestricted and may be used for other purposes as determined by management. Some of the covenants contained within the credit facility were amended as a result of the Capital Support Agreements that provide certain allowances and exemptions for transactions arising solely from the Capital Support Agreements. As of November 6, 2008, capital contributions made to the mutual funds by the Company were minimal.general purposes.

Cash flows from operations decreased $55.6increased $21.0 million in 20082009 compared to 20072008 due primarily due to the net change in our working capital accounts. The increase was offset by the decline in net income and the net change in working capital accounts.income. Our working capital accounts were primarily affected by increased payments for incentive compensation in 2008 compared to 2007 and the change in deferred taxes in 20082009 due to the non-cash charge related to the Capital Support Agreements.Agreements and lower expected payments for incentive compensation in 2009 compared to 2008.

We have long-term contractual agreements with banks and other financial institutions, especially within our Private Banks segment. These banks and financial institutions continue to meet the scheduled payment terms under these contracts. We have no reason to believe that these clients will be unable to satisfy current and future obligations. Additionally, the Investment Managers segment has contractual agreements with managers of hedge funds. There have been recent concerns and issues within the hedge fund industry. We believe our clients are stable and well-respected managers that will continue to remain viable entities over the long-term. These firms continue to meet all of their obligations. Our clients continue to meet their current financial obligations with us. We do not have any significant collectibility issues regarding our receivables as of June 30, 2009 and we have not received any indications that we should anticipate significant collectibility issues regarding our receivables in the near term.

Forward-Looking Information and Risk Factors

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements. Certain information contained in this discussion is or may be considered forward-looking. Forward-looking statements relate to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. Forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that involve certain risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control or are subject to change. Although we believe our assumptions are reasonable, they could be inaccurate. Our actual future revenues and income could differ materially from our expected results. We have no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements.

Among the risks and uncertainties which may affect our future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments are those risks described in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K in Part I, Item 1A. These risks include the following:

 

changes in capital markets that may affect our revenues and earnings;

 

product development risk;

 

liquidity issues in the subprime credit markets;

 

the performance of the funds we manage;

 

consolidation within our target markets, including consolidations between banks and other financial institutions;

 

the affect of extensive governmental regulation;

 

Page 45 of 50


systems and technology risks;

 

data security risks;

 

third party approval of our investment products with advisors affiliated with independent broker-dealers or other networks;

 

operational risks associated with the processing of investment transactions;

 

risk of failure by a third-party service provider;

 

changes in, or interpretation of, accounting principles or tax rules and regulations;

 

fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; and

 

retention of senior management personnel.

During the past several months, there has been widespread turmoil in the financial services industry. Much of this concern recently has been focused on the financial health of banks and involves our risks regarding the consolidation within our target markets and the failure by a third-party service provider. We have significant relationships with banks. A substantial portion of our revenues is derived from servicing banks. Additionally, we utilize the services of banks in our operations. In the event that any of these banks should fail, this could cause a disruption in our ability to provide services to our clients. Our revenues and earnings could be significantly affected if the financial health of certain banks continues to deteriorate or if they become insolvent.

The Company and our clients are subject to extensive governmental regulation. Our various business activities are conducted through entities which may be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as an investment advisor, a broker-dealer, a transfer agent, an investment company or with the United States Office of Thrift Supervision or state banking authorities as a trust company. Our broker-dealer is also a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and is subject to its rules and oversight. In addition, various subsidiaries of the Company are registered with, and subject to the oversight of, regulatory authorities primarily in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. Many of our clients are subject to substantial regulation by federal and state banking, securities or insurance authorities or the Department of Labor. Compliance with existing and future regulations and responding to and complying with recent regulatory activity affecting broker-dealers, investment companies and their service providers could have a significant impact on us. We have responded and are currently responding to various regulatory examinations, inquiries and requests. As a result of these examinations, inquiries and requests, we review our compliance procedures and business operations and make changes as we deem necessary. One of these regulatory requests and inquiries relate to the payment by certain of our subsidiaries of expenses related to the marketing and distribution of shares of certain mutual fund clients of our fund administration and distribution business. A similar inquiry resulted in an SEC order sanctioning one of our mutual fund administrator competitors in 2006.

We offer investment and banking products that also are subject to regulation by the federal and state securities and banking authorities, as well as non-United States regulatory authorities, where applicable. Existing or future regulations that affect these products could lead to a reduction in sales of these products. Directed brokerage payment arrangements offered

Our bank clients are subject to supervision by usfederal and state banking authorities concerning the manner in which such clients purchase and receive our products and services. Our plan sponsor clients and our subsidiaries providing services to those clients are also subject to supervision by the Department of Labor and compliance with employee benefit regulations. Investment advisor and broker-dealer clients are regulated by the SEC and other federal regulatorystate securities authorities.

Changes in the regulation of directed brokerage Existing or soft dollar payment arrangements or strategic decisionsfuture regulations applicable to our clients may affect our clients’ purchase of our clients regarding these arrangements could affect salesproducts and services.

In addition, see the discussion of some services, primarilygovernmental regulations in Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our brokerage services.latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for a description of the risks that proposed regulatory changes may present for our business.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Interest Rate Risk -– Our exposure to changes in interest rates primarily relates to our investment portfolio. Our excess cash is principally invested in short-term, highly liquid financial instruments, mainly money market funds, with a substantial portion of such investments having initial maturities of three months or less. The holdings in our investment portfolio most sensitive to interest rate risk include Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) securities and a short-term mutual fund principally invested in securities of U.S. and foreign commercial banks and government agencies. We place our investments in financial instruments that meet high credit quality standards. While changes in interest rates could decrease interest income, we do not believe that we have a material exposure to changes in interest rates. We do not undertake any specific actions to cover our exposure to interest rate risk and are not a party to any interest rate risk management transactions.

Additionally, LSV Employee Group entered into two interest rate swap agreements to convert its floating rate long-term debt to fixed rate debt. These swaps haveOne of these swap agreements terminated on March 31, 2009. The remaining swap agreement has a total notional value of $33.4$26.2 million. Payments are made every 90 days and the termination datesdate of the swaps are March 2009 andswap agreement is January 2011. The net effect from the interest rate swaps on the Company’s earnings during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 was minimal.

The total of new pooled investment offerings. The lengthall of time that our funds remain invested in these new pooled investment offerings is dependent on client subscriptions.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures.

 

(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. A controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls systems are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

 

(b)Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 20082009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A.Risk Factors

Information regarding risk factors appears in Part I - I—Item 1A of ourthe Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. The description of the risk factor regarding our exposure to liquidity issues in the subprime credit markets in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 has been modified to the following:

Liquidity issues in the subprime credit markets may affect our earnings and liquidity resources. Certain of our money market funds hold senior notes issued by structured investment vehicles which have either ceased making payments or potentially may cease making payments on its outstanding notes on the scheduled maturity dates. Because of the market conditions, we entered into support agreements to protect the shareholders of our money market funds from the liquidity risk associated with these securities. The amount of our obligation under these agreements and the corresponding charge against our earnings is dependent upon prevailing conditions in the credit markets that affect the value of money market instruments, including structured investment vehicles, on the creditworthiness of the structured investment vehicle securities and the overall asset levels of our money market funds. Additionally, in the event the fund realizes a loss from the sale or disposition of a structured investment vehicle, we would be required to pay an amount to the funds of our obligation that could negatively impact our liquidity resources.

2008. There have been no other material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in Part I – Item 2 under the caption ‘Forward-Looking Information and Risk Factors’ of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2007.2008.
