This excerpt taken from the C 8-K filed Jan 15, 2008. Smith Barney
· Revenues grew 27%, driven by 18% growth in fee-based and net interest revenues and a 43% increase in transactional revenues. Growth in fee-based revenues was driven by a continued shift toward offering fee-based advisory products and services. Transactional revenue growth primarily reflected the increased ownership of Nikko Cordial in Japan.
· Assets under fee-based management increased 30% to $446 billion, primarily driven by acquisitions, positive market action, and net client asset flows.
· Expenses grew 29%, primarily due to increased customer activity, the impact of acquisitions, and a $41 million pre-tax charge related to headcount reductions.
· Net income increased 7%, as increased business volumes and the impact of acquisitions were offset by the charge related to headcount reductions.
