(Tabular dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

A. Spin-off. The spin-off of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, by Automatic Data Processing, Inc. (“ADP” or the “Former Parent”) became effective on March 30, 2007 through a distribution of 100% of the common stock of the Company to the holders of record of ADP’s common stock (the “Distribution”). The Distribution was pursuant to a separation and distribution agreement by which ADP contributed to the Company the subsidiaries that operated its brokerage services business.

B. Description of Business . The Company is a leading global provider of investor communication, securities processing, and clearing and outsourcing solutions to the financial services industry. The Company classifies its operations into the following reportable segments:

 

   

Investor Communication Solutions — provides solutions for the processing and distribution of proxy materials to investors, as well as vote processing, regulatory reporting, tax reporting and corporate actions/reorganization processing solutions. Investor Communication Solutions also provides financial information distribution and transaction reporting services to both financial institutions and securities issuers. These services include the processing and distribution of account statements and trade confirmations, traditional and personalized document fulfillment and content management services, and imaging, archival and workflow solutions.

 

   

Securities Processing Solutions — provides advanced, computerized real-time transaction processing services that automate the securities transaction cycle. Securities Processing Solutions’ products and services include productivity tools and portfolio management, order capture and execution, trade confirmation, settlement and accounting services.

 

   

Clearing and Outsourcing Solutions — provides securities clearing and settlement services which is the process of matching, recording, and processing transaction instructions and then exchanging payments between counterparties. Our securities clearing services enable clients to utilize the Company’s broker-dealer business to finance inventory and margin balances. Our operations outsourcing services allow brokers of all sizes to outsource the administrative functions of trade processing, from order entry to trade matching and settlement, while maintaining their ability to finance and capitalize their business.

C. Basis of Presentation . The Condensed Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements present the consolidated position of the Company as a separate, stand-alone entity subsequent to the Distribution, presented along with the historical operations of the brokerage services business on a combined basis which were operated as part of ADP prior to the Distribution. These financial statements include the entities in which the Company directly or indirectly has a controlling financial interest and various entities in which the Company has investments recorded under the cost and equity methods of accounting. The Company’s combined results of operations, financial position and cash flows for periods prior to the Distribution, may not be indicative of its future performance and do not necessarily reflect what its results of operations, financial position and cash flows would have been had the Company operated as a separate, stand-alone entity during the periods presented, including changes in its operations and capitalization as a result of the separation and distribution from ADP.

In presenting the Condensed Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and related disclosures. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment and available information. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. In management’s opinion, the Condensed Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of interim results reported. The results of operations reported

for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year or any subsequent interim period. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Combined Financial Statements of the ADP brokerage services business as of and for the year ended June 30, 2006 included in the Company’s registration statement on Form 10 filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 19, 2006, as amended (the “Form 10”).

The Condensed Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements for periods prior to the Distribution include costs for facilities, functions and services used by the Company at shared ADP sites and costs for certain functions and services performed by centralized ADP organizations and directly charged to the Company based on usage. Following the separation and distribution from ADP, the Company performs these functions using internal resources or purchased services, certain of which may be provided by ADP during a transitional period pursuant to the transition services agreement. Refer to Note 15, Transactions with Former Parent , for a detailed description of the Company’s transactions with ADP subsequent to the Distribution. The expenses allocated to the Company for these services are not necessarily indicative of the expenses that would have been incurred if the Company had been a separate, independent entity and had otherwise managed these functions. The Company’s Condensed Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements include the following transactions with ADP or its affiliates prior to the Distribution:
