Item 7.   Financial Statements and Exhibits

     On May 9, 2002, we filed a Current Report on Form 8-K reporting the acquisition by our wholly-owned subsidiary, Ryan Beck & Co., LLC (“Ryan Beck”), of certain of the assets and the assumption of certain of the liabilities of Gruntal Financial, LLC. This Form 8-K/A is being filed in order to file the financial statements required as a consequence of that transaction.

    (a) Financial Statements of Business Acquired

     Gruntal Financial, LLC (“Gruntal”) consolidated statements of financial condition as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the consolidated statements of income, changes in members’ interest and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001 are being filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference herein.

    (b) Pro Forma Financial Information

     This pro forma financial information was derived by combining our reported historical financial information with Gruntal’s historical financial information and making adjustments to the combined information to exclude lines of business discontinued before or upon the transaction date and assets and liabilities not acquired or assumed by us. The pro forma information should be read along with our historical financial statements and Gruntal’s historical financial statements.

     This pro forma combined financial data is furnished for illustrative purposes only, and this information has not been adjusted for several significant expense reductions to be made subsequent to the acquisition or for any revenue enhancements. Accordingly, the information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or financial position which actually would have been attained if the transaction had been effected at the beginning of the periods or as of the date indicated or of the financial position or results of operations which we might attain in the future.

     The pro forma information is based upon the purchase method of accounting. Under this method of accounting, the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of Gruntal are recorded at their estimated fair value, and the amount of estimated fair value of net assets in excess of the purchase price is used to write down non-financial assets and the remaining balance is recorded as an extraordinary income item.

     The following pro forma combined statement of operations does not include $4.2 million (pre-tax) of transaction related costs. These costs primarily relate to the closing of Ryan Beck’s branches as a result of the transaction, stay bonuses, integration bonuses and professional and regulatory fees. We would also note that the accompanying pro forma financial information does not reflect any revenue enhancements or costs eliminated in connection with the acquisition, or the effects of contract terminations or adjustments to salary structure. Accordingly, no adjustments were made to eliminate the expenses associated with the reduction in Gruntal’s support staff, employee severance paid by Gruntal during the year ended December 31, 2001 or amounts paid by Gruntal during the 2001 period under management service contracts with Gruntal’s related parties. Although not reflected in the accompanying pro forma financial statements, these expenses of the acquired businesses have been eliminated, and accordingly our results of operations in future periods will not be impacted by these expenses.

     The pro forma combined statement of financial position assumes the acquisition occurred on December 31, 2001.

PRO FORMA COMBINED STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL CONDITION FOOTNOTES

     A.   Gruntal Pro Forma Adjustments

     The Gruntal pro forma adjustments represent the assets and liabilities of Gruntal that were not included in the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by us. The majority of these assets and liabilities were associated with Gruntal’s institutional stock loan line of business which we did not acquire. In this line of business, Gruntal would borrow securities from an unrelated broker/dealer and lend the securities to its clients. Gruntal earned interest income on the securities loaned to its clients and paid interest expense on the securities borrowed. Gruntal also earned transaction fees.

     We also did not acquire Gruntal’s trading securities or securities sold not yet purchased at the transaction date other than the trading positions associated with The GMS Group, LLC. (“GMS”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Gruntal. We acquired all of the membership interests in GMS and accordingly all of the assets and liabilities of GMS. GMS is primarily engaged in the business of buying, selling and underwriting municipal securities.

3


 

     The property and equipment not acquired primarily related to leasehold improvements, furniture and equipment and software located at Gruntal’s headquarters. We acquired the furniture, leasehold improvements and equipment related to Gruntal’s retail branch offices and institutional sales offices where investment consultants who became our employees are located.

     Other assets not acquired by us included receivables from broker/dealers and forgivable loans to account executives and support personnel that will not be employed by us. Other assets acquired included mutual funds relating to Gruntal’s deferred compensation plan and forgivable loans to investment consultants employed by us.

     The intangible assets acquired were primarily Gruntal’s customer lists. These intangible assets were not assigned a value since any amount designated as an intangible asset would have been written down to zero because the fair value of net assets acquired exceeded the cost of the transaction.

     Gruntal’s other borrowings consisted of a $9.7 million loan collateralized by property and equipment and $5.0 million of secured borrowings that were fully collateralized by a secured demand note. We assumed $3.9 million of the $9.7 million loan. The portion of the loan assumed was collateralized by property and equipment located in the retail branch offices. We did not assume the $5.0 million of secured borrowings nor did we acquire the secured demand note.

     Gruntal’s other liabilities not acquired by us primarily consisted of accrued compensation, payables to broker/dealers, medical insurance liabilities and accounts payable. Additionally, specifically excluded from the liabilities assumed were any liabilities for litigation, arbitration or other claims relating to Gruntal’s operations prior to April 26, 2002. The liabilities assumed were primarily GMS’s payable to clearing broker or obligations owed to investment consultants employed by us who participated in the deferred compensation plan.

     In the transaction, we assumed noncancelable operating leases associated with the retail branch offices and institutional sales offices. Pursuant to the terms of the “Acquisition of Certain Assets of Gruntal & Co. and GMS Amended and Restated Agreement,” (the “Acquisition Agreement”) Ryan Beck has until July 25, 2002 to perform an evaluation of each retail branch office and institutional sales office of Gruntal and to put back to Gruntal the leases or assets of individual offices if certain conditions are not met with respect to such branch office location. Future minimum rental payments under the operating leases which may be assumed by Ryan Beck are presented below (in thousands):

     B.     PURCHASE ACCOUNTING ENTRIES

     Included in the table below is the estimated fair value of Gruntal’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed as if the transaction was consummated at December 31, 2001 and the related purchase accounting adjustments. We are in the process of obtaining third party valuations; therefore, the purchase accounting adjustments are subject to change.

         
    As of
    December 31,
(In thousands)   2001

 
Fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
       
Trading securities
  $ 89,840  
Property and equipment
    11,225  
Other assets
    45,133  
Payable to clearing broker
    (66,887 )
Note payable
    (3,850 )
Securities sold not yet purchased
    (4,605 )
Other liabilities
    (23,932 )
 
   
 
Estimated fair value of net assets acquired
    46,924  
Purchase accounting adjustments
       
Reduction in non-financial assets
    (11,225 )(1)
Tax liabilities
    (2,771 )(2)
Other liabilities
    (1,329 )(3)
Fair value of net assets acquired over cost
    (23,752 )(4)
 
   
 
Total cost of the transaction
  $ 7,847  
 
   
 

     The cost of the transaction consists of a $6.0 million cash payment to Gruntal’s wholly owned subsidiary, Gruntal & Co., LLC., $750,000 of acquisition professional fees and $1.05 million of estimated contingent consideration payable to Gruntal. The $1.05 million potential additional consideration to Gruntal relates to possible deferred compensation plan participant forfeitures and represents the maximum amount of additional consideration. Pursuant to terms of the Acquisition Agreement, during each of the three years beginning October 27, 2002 we are obligated to pay Gruntal & Co. LLC up to $350,000 of forfeitures each year under the Amended and Restated Gruntal & Co. LLC Deferred Compensation Plan. The pro forma assumes that the cash payment to Gruntal & Co., LLC was funded by short term borrowings.

1.   The fair value of assets acquired less liabilities assumed exceeded the cost of the transaction resulting in a reduction in amounts that would have been assigned to non-financial acquired assets.
 
2.   The amount represents tax liabilities associated with the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed from Gruntal & Co., LLC at an effective tax rate of 36%.
 
3.   Other liabilities consist of $675,000 of unfavorable contract obligations related to leased equipment and $654,000 of contract termination obligations associated with closing certain Gruntal branches.
 
4.   In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, we will recognize an extraordinary gain of approximately $23.8 million related to the Gruntal transaction. Any change in the purchase accounting adjustments as a result of third party valuations will be reflected as an adjustment to the extraordinary gain.

PRO FORMA COMBINED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS FOOTNOTES

Adjusting Entries

A.   To eliminate lines of business discontinued by Gruntal during the year ended December 31, 2001 and lines of business that were not acquired or assumed by Ryan Beck in the transaction. The line of business discontinued during 2001 was the corporate bond trading activity, MedScience Partners operations and over the counter market making. Additionally, we did not acquire the institutional stock loan line of business.
 
B.   To record interest expense associated with an increase in short term borrowings utilized to fund the transaction. The assumed short term borrowings average interest rate was 4.07% for the year ended December 31, 2001.
 
C.   To eliminate unrealized losses included in Gruntal’s historical statement of operations associated with mutual fund investments. At the transaction date we designated as available for sale these mutual funds resulting in the recording of all unrealized losses related to these mutual fund investments in stockholders’ equity as other comprehensive loss.
 
D.   Reflects the elimination of depreciation expense and fixed asset impairments. As a consequence of the fair value of the net assets acquired being in excess of the cost of the transaction, the estimated fair value of fixed assets acquired was written down to zero.
 
E.   To reflect the elimination of duplicate insurance coverage. At the transaction date we did not assume Gruntal’s insurance obligations and we added the operations acquired from Gruntal to our existing insurance contracts at no additional costs.
 
F.   The assumed effective tax rate was 36%. Included in the benefit for income taxes adjusting entry was the federal taxes associated with Gruntal’s loss before taxes. Gruntal is a limited liability company that elected to be treated as a partnership for U.S. income tax purposes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was recorded in Gruntal’s historical financial statements.
