(1) For a reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to non-GAAP Net Income, please see Form 8-K filed October 24, 2012 which is available on RAYMONDJAMES.COM and SEC.GOV.
(2) With respect to the Morgan Keegan acquisition, the non-GAAP adjustments exclude from the calculation of average equity: (1) the incremental interest expense the Company incurred on financings it executed in anticipation of the closing of the transaction (the adjustment is the interest from the date of issuance of the debt up to the April 2, 2012 closing date of the Morgan Keegan acquisition); (2) the one-time acquisition and integration costs incurred in the Morgan Keegan transaction which are non-recurring expenses; and, (3) the impact of additional common shares issued in anticipation of the closing date (the share adjustment is computed as the impact of the new shares issued from the date of their issuance until the closing date of the acquisition).
(3) The non-GAAP adjustment excludes from the calculation of average equity the income during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 on the auction rate securities repurchased and the total loss provision for auction rate securities incurred for the twelve months ended September 30, 2011.

2. The Company's estimate that to date it has achieved approximately 25% of the previously projected $60 to $80 million of synergies from the Morgan Keegan acquisition.

3. The Company's projection that net interest margins for RJ Bank for 2013 would be 340-350 basis points and RJ Bank net loan growth would be 9-11%.






4. The approximate components of commission revenues, investment banking revenues, client assets, financial assets under management and assets in non-managed accounts, as follows:
