      net
      revenues from our Institutional Securities segment increased in 2005 compared

      trading revenues increased slightly in 2005 compared to 2004, due to increases
      in equity net trading revenues and relatively flat fixed income net trading
      revenues. Investment banking revenues decreased slightly over the same period,
      reflecting declines in debt and equity underwriting revenues partially offset
      by
      an increase in advisory and other fees. In our Wealth&#160;&amp; Asset
      Management segment, total net revenues increased, primarily reflecting the
      increase in net revenues from the consolidation of certain private equity funds
      in alternative capital, as private client services revenues remained essentially
      flat.</font></div>

      Our 2005 results also included a $750 million ($487 million after-taxes)

      private litigation. We expect to record net income of approximately $125 million

Item
      8.01. Other Events
On
      February 15, 2006, Credit Suisse Group, our ultimate parent, released its
      financial results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2005,
      including the financial results of the Institutional Securities and Wealth
&
Asset Management segments, of which we are a part.
Credit
      Suisse Group reported net income of CHF 1,103 million and CHF 5,850 million
      for
      the three months and year ended December 31, 2005, respectively. The
      Institutional Securities segment reported net income of CHF 336 million and
      CHF
      1,080 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2005,
      respectively. The Wealth & Asset Management segment reported net income of
      CHF 182 million and CHF 663 million for the three months and year ended December
      31, 2005, respectively.
We
      have
      not reported our financial results for the year ended December 31, 2005 and
      will
      report these results in connection with the filing of our annual report on
      Form
      10-K.
We
      expect
      our total net revenues for 2005 to be approximately $7.0 billion, an increase
      of
      approximately $680 million, or 11%, compared to 2004. Net revenues for 2005
      and
      2004 include approximately $975 million and $649 million, respectively, from
      the
      consolidation of certain private equity funds. Net income is unaffected by
      this
      consolidation as we record offsetting minority interests and related operating
      expenses.
Total
      net
      revenues from our Institutional Securities segment increased in 2005 compared
      to
      2004, reflecting higher revenues from other institutional securities and
      trading, partially offset by lower investment banking revenues. Total net
      trading revenues increased slightly in 2005 compared to 2004, due to increases
      in equity net trading revenues and relatively flat fixed income net trading
      revenues. Investment banking revenues decreased slightly over the same period,
      reflecting declines in debt and equity underwriting revenues partially offset
      by
      an increase in advisory and other fees. In our Wealth & Asset
      Management segment, total net revenues increased, primarily reflecting the
      increase in net revenues from the consolidation of certain private equity funds
      in alternative capital, as private client services revenues remained essentially
      flat.
We
      expect
      total expenses for 2005 to be approximately $5.9 billion, an increase of
      approximately $1.4 billion, or 30%, compared to 2004. Our 2005 results included
      an incremental expense of approximately $284 million ($185 million after-taxes)
      recorded in the fourth quarter related to a change in our accounting treatment
      for share-based awards. For more information on this change in accounting
      treatment, please see our Current Report on Form 8-K dated February 13, 2006.
      Our 2005 results also included a $750 million ($487 million after-taxes)
      litigation charge in the second quarter to increase the reserve for certain
      private litigation. We expect to record net income of approximately $125 million
      for 2005 compared to $787 million for 2004.
