These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries and include all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature necessary to present fairly the financial condition as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the results of operations and comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in IBG, Inc.’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 8, 2013. The condensed consolidated financial statement information as of December 31, 2012 has been derived from the 2012 audited consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year.

Principles of Consolidation, including Noncontrolling Interests

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of IBG, Inc. and its majority and wholly owned subsidiaries. As sole managing member of IBG LLC, IBG, Inc. exerts control over the Group’s operations. In accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation , the Company consolidates the Group’s consolidated financial statements and records as noncontrolling interest the interests in the Group that IBG, Inc. does not own.

(dollars in thousands, except shares and per share amounts, unless otherwise noted)

Prior to the June 6, 2012 amendment to the Exchange Agreement (Note 4), the Company was required to report IBG Holdings LLC’s (“Holdings”) ownership as redeemable noncontrolling interests (i.e., temporary equity) pursuant to ASC 810-10-45, ASC 815-40-25 and ASC 480-10-S99-3A (formerly FASB Emerging Issues Task Force Topic D-98), outside of total equity in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Redemption value of these redeemable noncontrolling interests was measured as the number of equivalent shares of member interests in IBG LLC owned by Holdings multiplied by the then current market price per share of the Company’s common stock. The excess of the redemption value over the book value of these interests, which did not affect net income attributable to common stockholders or cash flows, was required to be accounted for as a reduction of the Company’s stockholders’ equity in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of financial condition.

The Company elected to recognize changes in redemption value in each reporting period immediately as they occurred as if the end of each reporting period was also the redemption date for the entire redeemable noncontrolling interest under paragraph 15(b) of ASC 480-10-S99-3A, notwithstanding that the redeemable noncontrolling interests are redeemable over a period of time pursuant to a redemption schedule (Note 4).

For periods after the above referenced amendment, the noncontrolling interests in IBG LLC attributable to Holdings are reported as a component of equity.

The Company’s policy is to consolidate all entities of which it owns more than 50% unless it does not have control. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated. IBG, Inc. would also consolidate any Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) pursuant to ASC 860 , Transfers and Servicing and ASC 810 of which it is the primary beneficiary. IBG, Inc. currently is not the primary beneficiary of any such entities and therefore no VIEs are included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment and available information. Therefore, actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Such estimates include the estimated fair values of IBG LLC and the Company in connection with accounting for redeemable noncontrolling interests, the estimated value of investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting, the estimated useful lives of property and equipment, including capitalized internally developed software, the allowance for doubtful accounts, compensation accruals, current and deferred income taxes and estimated contingency reserves.

Fair Value

At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, substantially all of IBG, Inc.’s assets and liabilities, including financial instruments, were carried at fair value based on published market prices and were marked to market, or were assets which are short-term in nature and were carried at amounts that approximate fair value.

IBG, Inc. applies the fair value hierarchy of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement , to prioritize the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

Level 1	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2	Quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3	Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to fair value measurement and unobservable

Financial instruments owned and financial instruments sold, but not yet purchased, except forward currency contracts, over-the-counter (“OTC”) currency options and certain corporate and municipal debt securities, which are classified as Level 2 financial instruments, are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s financial instruments are valued using quoted market prices as published by exchanges and clearing houses or otherwise broadly distributed in active markets, include U.S. government and sovereign obligations, active listed securities, options, futures, options on futures and corporate and municipal debt securities. IBG, Inc. does not adjust quoted prices for Level 1 financial instruments, even in the event that the Company may hold a large position whereby a purchase or sale could reasonably impact quoted prices.

Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(dollars in thousands, except shares and per share amounts, unless otherwise noted)

Currency forward contracts and OTC currency options are valued using broadly distributed bank and broker prices, and are classified as Level 2 financial instruments as such instruments are not exchange-traded. Corporate and municipal debt securities, including Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured corporate bonds held as securities segregated for regulatory purposes, that are not actively traded are also classified in Level 2.

Other fair value investments, reported in other assets in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of financial condition and in Note 6 - Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, are comprised of securities that the Company does not carry in its market making business, and include listed common stocks, corporate and municipal debt and other asset backed securities. These investments are generally reported as Level 2 financial instruments, except for unrestricted listed equities, which are classified as Level 1 financial instruments. The fair values of other fair value investments are determined using broker and vendor prices that have been independently validated by the Company. Validation methods applied by the Company include comparisons of the broker and vendor prices to other independent pricing services and reviews of the underlying assumptions and other inputs (such as estimated cash flows, underlying default rates and variable interest rate sensitivity analysis) used by brokers or vendors to calculate these investments’ fair values.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share (“EPS”) are computed in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share . Shares of Class A and Class B common stock share proportionately in the earnings of IBG, Inc. Basic earnings per share are calculated utilizing net income available for common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of shares of Class A and Class B common stock outstanding for that period. Diluted earnings per share are calculated utilizing the Company’s basic net income available for common stockholders divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding with no adjustments to net income available to common stockholders for dilutive potential common shares.

For periods prior to June 6, 2012 (Note 4), the Company has determined to reflect Topic D-98 measurement adjustments for non-fair value redemption rights through application of the two-class method of calculating earnings per share in lieu of recognizing the impact through the determination of net income attributable to common shareholders. Furthermore, in accordance with footnote 17 of ASC 480-10-S99-3A, the Company has elected to treat only the portion of the periodic measurement adjustments that reflect a redemption in excess of fair value as being akin to a dividend, reducing net income attributable to common stockholders for purposes of applying the two-class method. Decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable noncontrolling interests through Topic D-98 measurement adjustments are reflected in the application of the two-class method only to the extent they represent recoveries of amounts previously accounted for by applying the two-class method.

Stock-Based Compensation

IBG, Inc. follows ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation , to account for its stock-based compensation plans. ASC 718 requires all share-based payments to employees to be recognized in the financial statements using a fair value-based method. As a result, IBG, Inc. expenses the fair value of awards granted to employees, generally 50% in the year of grant in recognition of plan forfeiture provisions (described below) and the remaining 50% over the related vesting period utilizing the “graded vesting” method permitted under ASC 718-10. In the case of “retirement eligible” employees (those employees older than 59), 100% of awards are expensed when granted.

Awards granted under the stock-based compensation plans are subject to forfeiture in the event an employee ceases employment with the Company. The plans provide that employees who discontinue employment with the Company without cause and continue to meet the terms of the plans’ post-employment provisions will forfeit 50% of unvested previously granted awards unless the employee is over the age of 59, in which case the employee would be eligible to receive 100% of unvested awards previously granted.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

IBG, Inc. defines cash equivalents as short-term, highly liquid securities and cash deposits with original maturities of three months or less, other than those used to support margin and clearing requirements or assets held in segregated accounts for regulatory purposes.

Cash and Securities—Segregated for Regulatory Purposes

As a result of customer activities, certain Operating Companies are obligated by rules mandated by their primary regulators to segregate or set aside cash or qualified securities to satisfy such regulations, which regulations have been promulgated to protect customer assets. In addition, substantially all of the Operating Companies are members of various clearing organizations at which cash or securities are deposited as required to conduct day-to-day clearance activities. Securities segregated for regulatory purposes consisted of U.S. Treasury Bills of $2,447.4 million and $2,297.0 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, which are recorded as Level 1 financial assets and securities purchased under agreements to resell in the amount of $6.46 billion and $6.37 billion as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, which amounts approximate fair value.

Securities Borrowed and Securities Loaned

Securities borrowed and securities loaned are recorded at the amount of collateral advanced or received. Securities borrowed transactions require the Company to provide counterparties with collateral, which may be in the form of cash, letters of credit or other securities. With respect to securities loaned, IBG, Inc. receives collateral, which may be in the form of cash or other securities in an amount generally in excess of the fair value of the securities loaned.

IBG, Inc. monitors the market value of securities borrowed and loaned on a daily basis, with additional collateral obtained or refunded as permitted contractually. Receivables and payables with the same counterparty are not offset in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. For these transactions, the fees received or paid by IBG, Inc. are recorded as interest income or interest expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell

Securities purchased under agreements to resell are treated as collateralized financing transactions and are recorded at contract value, plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. The Company’s policy is to obtain possession of collateral with a fair value equal to or in excess of the principal amount loaned under resale agreements. To ensure that the fair value of the underlying collateral remains sufficient, this collateral is valued daily with additional collateral obtained or excess collateral returned, as permitted under contractual provisions. The Company does not net securities purchased under agreements to resell transactions with securities sold under agreements to repurchase transactions entered into with the same counterparty.

Financial Instruments Owned and Sold But Not Yet Purchased

Financial instrument transactions are reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements on a trade date basis. Financial instruments owned and financial instruments sold but not yet purchased are recorded at fair value based upon quoted market prices. All firm-owned financial instruments pledged to counterparties where the counterparty has the right, by contract or custom, to sell or repledge the financial instruments are classified as financial instruments owned and pledged as collateral in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.

IBG, Inc. also enters into currency forward contracts. These transactions, which are also reported on a trade date basis, are agreements to exchange a fixed amount of one currency for a specified amount of a second currency at completion of the currency forward contract term. Unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on currency forward contracts are reported as components of financial instruments owned or financial instruments sold but not yet purchased in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.

Customer Receivables and Payables

Customer securities transactions are recorded on a settlement date basis and customer commodities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Receivables from and payables to customers include amounts due on cash and margin transactions, including futures contracts transacted on behalf of customers. Securities owned by customers, including those that collateralize margin loans or other similar transactions, are not reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. Amounts receivable from customers that are determined by management to be uncollectible are expensed as a component of general and administrative expense.

(dollars in thousands, except shares and per share amounts, unless otherwise noted)

Receivables from and Payables to Brokers, Dealers and Clearing Organizations

Receivables and payables to brokers, dealers and clearing organizations include net receivables and payables from unsettled trades, including amounts related to futures and options on futures contracts executed on behalf of customers, amounts receivable for securities not delivered by IBG, Inc. to the purchaser by the settlement date (“fails to deliver”) and cash margin deposits. Payables to brokers, dealers and clearing organizations also include amounts payable for securities not received by IBG, Inc. from a seller by the settlement date (“fails to receive”).

Investments

IBG, Inc. makes certain strategic investments related to financial services and accounts for these investments under the cost method of accounting or under the equity method of accounting as required under ASC 323, Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures . Investments are accounted for under the equity method of accounting when IBG, Inc. has significant influence over the investee. Investments accounted for under the equity method, including where the investee is a limited partnership or limited liability company, are recorded at the fair value amount of IBG, Inc.’s initial investment and adjusted each period for IBG, Inc.’s share of the investee’s income or loss. IBG, Inc.’s share of the income or losses from equity investments is reported as a component of other income in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The recorded amounts of IBG, Inc.’s equity method investments, $26.0 million at March 31, 2013 ($34.7 million at December 31, 2012), which are reported as a component of other assets in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial condition, increase or decrease accordingly. Distributions received from equity investees are recorded as reductions to the respective investment balance.

A judgmental aspect of accounting for investments is evaluating whether an other-than-temporary decline in the value of an investment has occurred. The evaluation of an other-than-temporary impairment is dependent on specific quantitative and qualitative factors and circumstances surrounding an investment, including recurring operating losses, credit defaults and subsequent rounds of financing. IBG, Inc.’s equity investments do not have readily determinable market values. All equity method investments are reviewed for changes in circumstances or occurrence of events that suggest IBG, Inc.’s investment may not be recoverable. If an unrealized loss on any investment is considered to be other-than-temporary, the loss is recognized in the period the determination is made. IBG, Inc. also holds exchange memberships and investments in equity securities of certain exchanges as required to qualify as a clearing member, and strategic investments in corporate stock that do not qualify for equity method accounting. Such investments, $27.2 million at March 31, 2013 ($36.2 million at December 31, 2012), are recorded at cost or, if an other-than-temporary impairment in value has occurred, at a value that reflects management’s estimate of the impairment, and are also components of other assets in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. Dividends received from cost basis investments are recognized as a component of other income as such dividends are received.

The Company also makes other fair value investments (which are not considered core business activities) that are accounted for at fair value (Note 6), with gains and losses recorded as a component of other income.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment, which is a component of other assets, consist of purchased technology hardware and software, internally developed software, leasehold improvements and office furniture and equipment. Property and equipment are recorded at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Additions and improvements that extend the lives of assets are capitalized, while expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method. Equipment is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets, while leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the estimated economic useful life of the asset or the term of the lease. Computer equipment is depreciated over three to five years and office furniture and equipment are depreciated over five to seven years. Qualifying costs for internally developed software are capitalized and amortized over the expected useful life of the developed software, not to exceed three years.

Comprehensive Income and Foreign Currency Translation

The Company’s operating results are reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income pursuant to Accounting Standards Update 2011-05, Comprehensive Income .

Comprehensive income consists of two components: net income and other comprehensive income (“OCI”). OCI is comprised of revenues, expenses, gains and losses that are reported in the comprehensive income section of the statement of comprehensive income, but are excluded from reported net income. IBG, Inc.’s OCI is comprised of foreign currency translation adjustments.

IBG, Inc.’s international Operating Companies have a functional currency that is other than the U.S. dollar. Such subsidiaries’ assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates, and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Adjustments that result from translating amounts from a subsidiary’s functional currency are reported as a component of accumulated OCI. In general, the practice and intention of the Company is to reinvest the earnings of its non-U.S. subsidiaries in those operations. Deferred income taxes have not been provided for U.S. tax liabilities or for additional foreign taxes on unremitted earnings that have been indefinitely reinvested.

Revenue Recognition

— Trading Gains

Trading gains and losses are recorded on trade date and are reported on a net basis. Trading gains are comprised of changes in the fair value of financial instruments owned and financial instruments sold but not yet purchased (i.e., unrealized gains and losses) and realized gains and losses. Dividends are integral to the valuation of stocks and interest is integral to the valuation of fixed income instruments. Accordingly, both dividends and interest income and expense attributable to financial instruments owned and financial instruments sold but not yet purchased are reported on a net basis as a component of trading gains in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

— Commissions and Execution Fees

Commissions charged for executing and clearing customer transactions are recorded on a trade date basis and are reported as commissions and execution fees in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, and the related expenses are reported as execution and clearing expenses, also on a trade date basis.

— Interest Income and Expense

The Company earns interest income and incurs interest expense primarily in connection with its Electronic Brokerage customer business and its securities lending activities. Such interest is recorded on the accrual basis.

— Foreign Currency Transaction Gains and Losses

Foreign currency transaction gains and losses from market making and electronic brokerage activities, respectively, are included in trading gains and in interest or other income in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Income Taxes

IBG, Inc. accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. The Company’s income tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and reserves for unrecognized tax benefits are based on enacted tax laws (Note 11) and reflect management’s best assessment of estimated future taxes to be paid. We are subject to income taxes in both the United States and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Determining income tax expense requires significant judgments and estimates.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of the underlying assets and liabilities. In evaluating our ability to recover our deferred tax assets within the jurisdiction from which they arise, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. In projecting future taxable income, we begin with historical results adjusted for changes in accounting policies and incorporate assumptions including the amount of future state, federal and foreign pretax operating income, the reversal of temporary differences, and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax-planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates we are using to manage the underlying businesses. In evaluating the objective evidence that historical results provide, we consider three years of cumulative operating income (loss). Deferred income taxes have not been provided for U.S. tax liabilities or for additional foreign taxes on the unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries that have been indefinitely reinvested.

ASC 740 provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, on the basis of the technical merits. ASC 740 also provides guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.

Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(dollars in thousands, except shares and per share amounts, unless otherwise noted)

The Company records tax liabilities in accordance with ASC 740 and adjusts these liabilities when management’s judgment changes as a result of the evaluation of new information not previously available. Because of the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is different from our current estimate of the tax liabilities. These differences will be reflected as increases or decreases to income tax expense in the period in which new information is available.

IBG, Inc. recognizes interest related to income tax matters as interest income or expense and penalties related to income tax matters as income tax expense.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Subsequent to the adoption of the ASC, the FASB will issue Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) as the means to add to or delete from, or otherwise amend the ASC. In 2013, prior to the issuance of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, ASUs 2013-01 through 2013- 07 have been issued. Following is a summary of recently issued ASUs that have affected or may affect the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements:

	Affects	Status
ASU 2011-11	Balance Sheet (Topic 210) : Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities	Effective for fiscal periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Retrospective disclosures for comparative periods presented will be required.

ASU 2013-01	Balance Sheet (Topic 210) : Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities	Effective for fiscal periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 (the same as the effective date of ASU 2011-11).

ASU 2013-02	Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) : Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income	Effective for fiscal periods beginning on or after December 15, 2012.

ASU 2013-04	Liabilities (Topic 405) : Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date	Effective prospectively for fiscal periods beginning on or after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted.

ASU 2013-05	Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830) : Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity	Effective for fiscal periods beginning on or after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted.

Adoption of those ASUs that became effective during 2013, prior to the issuance of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, did not have a material effect on those financial statements. Management is assessing the potential impact on the Company’s financial statements of adopting ASUs that will become effective in the future.

ASC/IFRS Convergence

In February 2010, the SEC issued Commission Statement in Support of Convergence and Global Accounting Standards , a formal statement updating the status of its November 2008 Roadmap for the Potential Use of Financial Statements Prepared in Accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards by U.S. Issuers (“IFRS Roadmap”). The statement supported convergence of accounting standards and the development of a single set of global accounting standards. As directed in this statement, the SEC staff issued Work Plan for the Consideration of Incorporating International Financial Reporting Standards into the Financial Reporting System for U.S. Issuers (the “Work Plan”) in May 2010, and issued a follow-up Staff Paper, subtitled Exploring a Possible Method of Incorporation in May 2011. The Work Plan outlines the steps to be taken to provide the SEC with information to be able to conclude whether IFRS should be adopted for U.S. registrants and the Staff Paper discusses alternative approaches (“Convergence” and “Endorsement”) to adoption that could be applied. Within the Staff Paper, the SEC Staff has issued a Request for

Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(dollars in thousands, except shares and per share amounts, unless otherwise noted)

Comment on these alternatives. The Comment period ended July 31, 2011 and the SEC Staff issued two Staff Papers, A Comparison of U.S. GAAP and IFRS and Analysis of IFRS in Practice on November 16, 2011.

In June 2012 the FASB and IASB issued a joint statement on their continuing deliberations regarding changes to lease accounting. When issued, new lease accounting standards under the ASC and IFRS will require the reporting of lease assets and related liabilities on issuers’ statements of financial condition under a mutually agreed upon two-method approach. Exposure Drafts detailing applicability and implementation considerations are expected to be issued in 2013, and final standards are expected to be issued in the future. Management will be assessing the potential effects of this change in lease accounting as the standard setting process moves forward. Based on the scope of existing lease commitments (approximately 0.1% of total assets as of March 31, 2013), the effect on the Company’s financial statements is not expected to be material.

On July 13, 2012, the SEC’s Office of the Chief Accountant issued its Final Staff Report on the Work Plan. This report considered possible means of aligning IFRS with U.S. GAAP, and raised numerous concerns about the possible effects of adoption on registrants and investors. The Staff Report did not reject some form of convergence between U.S. GAAP and IFRS, but also did not endorse adoption and did not commit to the extent or timing of adoption. While a formal commitment regarding possible incorporation of IFRS into U.S. GAAP has not been determined, based on continuing joint efforts between the FASB and IASB, it is likely that convergence to some extent will occur in the future. The Company applies versions of IFRS for the stand alone financial statements of several of the Operating Companies, where required, and continues to assess the potential impact of adopting IFRS on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

SEC Derivatives Regulation Roadmap

In June 2012, the SEC issued for comment a policy statement on its proposed plan that would sequence the phasing in of final rules to be adopted by the Commission regulating security-based swaps in order to comply with the requirements of the 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank” Act). The policy statement provides a proposed “roadmap” for adoption of final rules, but does not mandate specific registrant compliance deadlines. Management is monitoring this and other accounting and regulatory rulemaking developments for their potential effect on the Company’s financial statements and internal controls over financial reporting.

3. Trading Activities and Related Risks

IBG, Inc.’s trading activities include providing securities market making and brokerage services. Trading activities expose IBG, Inc. to market and credit risks. These risks are managed in accordance with established risk management policies and procedures. To accomplish this, management has established a risk management process that includes:

•

a regular review of the risk management process by executive management as part of its oversight role;

•

defined risk management policies and procedures supported by a rigorous analytic framework; and

•

articulated risk tolerance levels as defined by executive management that are regularly reviewed to ensure that IBG, Inc.’s risk-taking is consistent with its business strategy, capital structure, and current and anticipated market conditions.

Market Risk

IBG, Inc. is exposed to various market risks. Exposures to market risks arise from equity price risk, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and changes in interest rates. IBG, Inc. seeks to mitigate market risk associated with trading inventories by employing hedging strategies that correlate rate, price and spread movements of trading inventories and related financing and hedging activities. IBG, Inc. uses a combination of cash instruments and exchange traded derivatives to hedge its market exposures. The following discussion describes the types of market risk faced:

Equity Price Risk

Equity price risk arises from the possibility that equity security prices will fluctuate, affecting the value of equity securities and other instruments that derive their value from a particular stock, a defined basket of stocks, or a stock index. IBG, Inc. is subject to equity price risk primarily in financial instruments owned and sold but not yet purchased. IBG, Inc. attempts to limit such risks by continuously reevaluating prices and by diversifying its portfolio across many different options, futures and underlying securities and avoiding concentrations of positions based on the same underlying security.

Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(dollars in thousands, except shares and per share amounts, unless otherwise noted)

Currency Risk

Currency risk arises from the possibility that fluctuations in foreign exchange rates will impact the value of financial instruments. Exchange rate contracts may include cross-currency swaps and currency futures contracts. Currency swaps are agreements to exchange future payments in one currency for payments in another currency. These agreements are used to effectively convert assets or liabilities denominated in different currencies. Currency futures are contracts for delayed delivery of currency at a specified future date. IBG, Inc. uses currency swaps to manage the levels of its non-U.S. dollar currency balances and currency cash and futures to hedge its global exposure.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect the value of financial instruments. IBG, Inc. is exposed to interest rate risk on cash and margin balances, positions carried in equity securities, options, futures and on its debt obligations. These risks are managed through investment policies and by entering into interest rate futures contracts.

Credit Risk

IBG, Inc. is exposed to risk of loss if an individual, counterparty or issuer fails to perform its obligations under contractual terms (“default risk”). Both cash instruments and derivatives expose IBG, Inc. to default risk. IBG, Inc. has established policies and procedures for mitigating credit risk on principal transactions, including reviewing and establishing limits for credit exposure, maintaining collateral, and continually assessing the creditworthiness of counterparties.

The Company’s credit risk is limited in that substantially all of the contracts entered into are settled directly at securities and commodities clearing houses and a small portion is settled through member firms and banks with substantial financial and operational resources. IBG, Inc. seeks to control the risks associated with its customer margin activities by requiring customers to maintain collateral in compliance with regulatory and internal guidelines.

In the normal course of business, IBG, Inc. executes, settles, and finances various customer securities transactions. Execution of these transactions includes the purchase and sale of securities by IBG, Inc. that exposes IBG, Inc. to default risk arising from the potential that customers or counterparties may fail to satisfy their obligations. In these situations, IBG, Inc. may be required to purchase or sell financial instruments at unfavorable market prices to satisfy obligations to customers or counterparties. Liabilities to other brokers and dealers related to unsettled transactions (i.e., securities fails to receive) are recorded at the amount for which the securities were purchased, and are paid upon receipt of the securities from other brokers or dealers. In the case of aged securities fails to receive, IBG, Inc. may purchase the underlying security in the market and seek reimbursement for any losses from the counterparty.

For cash management purposes, IBG, Inc. enters into short-term securities purchased under agreements to resell and securities sold under agreements to repurchase transactions (“repos”) in addition to securities borrowing and lending arrangements, all of which may result in credit exposure in the event the counterparty to a transaction is unable to fulfill its contractual obligations. In accordance with industry practice, repos are collateralized by securities with a market value in excess of the obligation under the contract. Similarly, securities borrowed and loaned agreements are collateralized by deposits of cash or securities. IBG, Inc. attempts to minimize credit risk associated with these activities by monitoring collateral values on a daily basis and requiring additional collateral to be deposited with or returned to IBG, Inc. as permitted under contractual provisions.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

IBG, Inc.’s exposure to credit risk associated with its trading and other activities is measured on an individual counterparty basis, as well as by groups of counterparties that share similar attributes. Concentrations of credit risk can be affected by changes in political, industry, or economic factors. To reduce the potential for risk concentration, credit limits are established and exposure is monitored in light of changing counterparty and market conditions. As of March 31, 2013, the Company did not have any material concentrations of credit risk.

Off-Balance Sheet Risks

IBG, Inc. may be exposed to a risk of loss not reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for futures products, which represent obligations of IBG, Inc. to settle at contracted prices, which may require repurchase or sale in the market at prevailing prices. Accordingly, these transactions result in off-balance sheet risk as IBG, Inc.’s cost to liquidate such futures contracts may exceed the amounts reported in IBG, Inc.’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.

4. Equity and Earnings Per Share

In connection with its initial public offering of Class A common stock (“IPO”) in May 2007, IBG, Inc. purchased 10.0% of the membership interests in IBG LLC from Holdings, became the sole managing member of IBG LLC and began to consolidate IBG LLC’s financial results into its financial statements. Holdings wholly owns all Class B common stock, which common stock has voting rights in proportion to its ownership interests in IBG LLC, approximately 88.1% as of March 31, 2013. The consolidated financial statements reflect the results of operations and financial position of IBG, Inc., including consolidation of its investment in IBG LLC. Prior to the June 6, 2012 amendment to the Exchange Agreement (described below), Holdings’ ownership interests in IBG LLC were accounted for and reported in these consolidated financial statements as “redeemable noncontrolling interests” (temporary equity) pursuant to ASC 810-10-45, ASC 815-40-25 and ASC 480-10-S99-3A. For periods after the Amendment, beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the noncontrolling interests in IBG LLC attributable to Holdings are reported as a component of total equity, as described below.

Recapitalization and Post-IPO Capital Structure

Immediately prior to and immediately following the consummation of the IPO, IBG, Inc., Holdings, IBG LLC and the members of IBG LLC consummated a series of transactions collectively referred to herein as the “Recapitalization.” In connection with the Recapitalization, IBG, Inc., Holdings and the historical members of IBG LLC entered into an exchange agreement, dated as of May 3, 2007 (the “Exchange Agreement”), pursuant to which the historical members of IBG LLC received membership interests in Holdings in exchange for their membership interests in IBG LLC. Additionally, IBG, Inc. became the sole managing member of IBG LLC.

In connection with the consummation of the IPO, Holdings used the net proceeds to redeem 10.0% of members’ interests in Holdings in proportion to their interests. Immediately following the Recapitalization and IPO, Holdings owned approximately 90% of IBG LLC and 100% of IBG, Inc.’s Class B common stock, which has voting power in IBG, Inc. in proportion to Holdings’ ownership of IBG LLC.

Since consummation of the IPO and Recapitalization, IBG, Inc.’s equity capital structure has been comprised of Class A and Class B common stock. All shares of common stock have a par value of $0.01 per share and have identical rights to earnings and dividends and in liquidation. As described previously in this Note 4, Class B common stock has voting power in IBG, Inc. proportionate to the extent of Holdings’ and IBG, Inc.’s respective ownership of IBG LLC. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 1,000,000,000 shares of Class A common stock were authorized, of which 47,801,449 and 47,797,844 shares have been issued; and 47,505,086 and 47,499,739 shares were outstanding, respectively. Class B common stock is comprised of 100 authorized shares, of which 100 shares were issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. In addition, 10,000 shares of preferred stock have been authorized, of which no shares are issued or outstanding as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

As a result of a federal income tax election made by IBG LLC applicable to the acquisition of IBG LLC member interests by IBG, Inc., the income tax basis of the assets of IBG LLC acquired by IBG, Inc. have been adjusted based on the amount paid for such interests. Deferred tax assets were recorded as of the IPO date and in connection with the 2011 redemption of Holdings member interests in exchange for common stock, which deferred tax assets are a component of other assets in the consolidated statement of financial condition and are being amortized as additional deferred income tax expense over 15 years from the IPO date and from the 2011 redemption date, respectively, as allowable under current tax law. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the unamortized balance of these deferred tax assets was $276.6 million and $281.6 million, respectively.

IBG, Inc. also entered into an agreement (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”) with Holdings to pay Holdings (for the benefit of the former members of IBG LLC) 85% of the tax savings that IBG, Inc. actually realizes as the result of tax basis increases. These payables, net of payments made to Holdings, are reported as payable to affiliate in the consolidated statement of financial condition.

The remaining 15% is accounted for as a permanent increase to additional paid-in capital in the consolidated statement of financial condition.

The cumulative amounts of deferred tax assets, payables to Holdings and credits to additional paid-in capital arising from stock offerings from the date of the IPO through March 31, 2013 were $387.1 million, $329.0 million and $58.1 million, respectively. Amounts received and payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement are payable to Holdings annually upon the filing of IBG, Inc.’s federal income tax return. The Company has paid Holdings a total of $70.4 million through March 31, 2013 pursuant to the terms of the Tax Receivable Agreement.

The Exchange Agreement provides for future redemptions of member interests and for the purchase of member interests in IBG LLC by IBG, Inc. from Holdings, which could result in IBG, Inc. acquiring the remaining member interests in IBG LLC that it does not own. On an annual basis, holders of Holdings member interests are able to request redemption of such member interests over a minimum eight (8) year period following the IPO; 12.5% annually for seven (7) years and 2.5% in the eighth year.

At the time of the Company’s IPO in 2007, three hundred sixty (360) million shares of authorized Common Stock were reserved for future sales and redemptions. From 2008 through 2010, Holdings redeemed 5,013,259 IBG LLC shares for a total of $114.0 million, which redemptions were funded using cash on hand at IBG LLC. Upon cash redemption these IBG LLC shares were retired. In 2011, the Company issued 1,983,624 shares of Common Stock directly to Holdings in exchange for an equivalent number of shares of member interests in IBG LLC.

As a consequence of these redemption transactions, and distribution of shares to employees (Note 10), IBG, Inc.’s interest in IBG LLC has increased to approximately 11.9%, with Holdings owning the remaining 88.1% as of March 31, 2013. The redemptions also resulted in an increase in the Holdings interest held by Thomas Peterffy and his affiliates from approximately 84.6% at the IPO to approximately 86.3% at March 31, 2013.

The Exchange Agreement, as amended June 6, 2012, provides that the Company may facilitate the redemption by Holdings of interests held by its members through the issuance of shares of common stock through a public offering in exchange for the interests in IBG LLC being redeemed by Holdings. The June 6, 2012 amendment (the “Amendment”) eliminated from the Exchange Agreement an alternative funding method, which provided that upon approval by the board of directors and by agreement of the Company, IBG LLC and Holdings, redemptions could be made in cash.

Subsequent to the amendment to the Exchange Agreement on June 6, 2012, the Company recorded adjustments to report Holdings’ noncontrolling interests in IBG LLC as component of total equity, reducing redeemable noncontrolling interests to zero and reversing the cumulative effect of adjustments to redemption value previously recorded to additional paid-in capital. The effect of these adjustments, before the allocation of comprehensive income and other capital transactions to Holdings’ noncontrolling interests in IBG LLC subsequent to June 6, 2012, and before the recording of capital transactions and comprehensive income attributable to the Company and to other noncontrolling interests was:

(in thousands)	Adjustments as of June 6, 2012
Redeemable noncontrolling interests	$(5,367,553	)
Additional Paid in Capital	$472,409
Retained earnings	$572,840
Noncontrolling interests	$4,322,304

Earnings per Share

For periods prior to June 6, 2012, the Company has determined to reflect measurement adjustments for non-fair value redemption rights through application of the two-class method of calculating earnings per share in lieu of recognizing the impact through the determination of net income attributable to common stockholders.

Basic earnings (loss) per share are calculated utilizing net income available for common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of shares of Class A and Class B common stock outstanding for that period:

		Three months ended
		March 31,
		2013		2012
Basic earnings per share:
Net income attributable to common stockholders	$	6,557	$	11,084
Add (deduct) net income attributable to non-fair value redemption rights		-		1,239
Net income available for common stockholders	$	6,557	$	12,323

Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding:
Class A		47,499,798		45,576,825
Class B		100		100
		47,499,898		45,576,925

Basic earnings per share	$	0.14	$	0.27

Diluted earnings (loss) per share are calculated utilizing the Company’s basic net income available for common stockholders divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding with no adjustments to net income available to common stockholders for potentially dilutive common shares:

		Three months ended
		March 31,
		2013		2012
Diluted earnings per share:
Net income available for common stockholders	$	6,557	$	12,323

Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding:
Class A:
Issued and outstanding		47,499,798		45,576,825
Potentially dilutive common shares:
Issuable pursuant to 2007 ROI Unit Stock Plan		188,416		374,539
Class B		100		100
		47,688,314		45,951,464

Diluted earnings per share	$	0.14	$	0.27

During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, there were no adjustments required to potentially dilutive shares.

Member and Stockholder Dividends

In March 2013, IBG LLC paid dividends to its members totaling $39.9 million, of which IBG, Inc.’s proportionate share was $4.7 million. Also in March 2013, the Company paid a cash dividend of $0.10 per share of Common Stock, totaling $4.7 million.

On April 16, 2013, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per common share, payable on June 14, 2013 to shareholders of record as of May 31, 2013.

7. Collateralized Transactions

The Company enters into securities borrowing and lending transactions and agreements to repurchase and resell securities to finance trading inventory, to obtain securities for settlement and to earn residual interest rate spreads. In addition, the Company’s customers pledge their securities owned to collateralize margin loans. Under these transactions, the Company either receives or provides collateral, including equity, corporate debt and U.S. government securities. Under many agreements, the Company is permitted to sell or repledge securities received as collateral and use these securities to secure repurchase agreements, enter into securities lending transactions or deliver these securities to counterparties to cover short positions.

The Company also engages in securities financing transactions with and for customers through margin lending. Under these agreements and transactions, the Company either receives or provides collateral, including U.S. government securities, corporate debt and equity securities. Customer receivables generated from margin lending activity are collateralized by customer-owned securities held by the Company. Customers’ required margin levels and established credit limits are monitored continuously by risk management staff using automated systems. Pursuant to Company policy and as enforced by such systems, customers are required to deposit additional collateral or reduce positions, when necessary to avoid automatic liquidation of positions.

Margin loans are extended on a demand basis and are not committed facilities. Factors considered in the acceptance or rejection of margin loans are the amount of the loan, the degree of leverage being employed in the account and an overall evaluation of the portfolio to ensure proper diversification or, in the case of concentrated positions, appropriate liquidity of the underlying collateral. Additionally, transactions relating to concentrated or restricted positions are limited or prohibited by raising the level of required margin collateral (to 100% in the extreme case). Underlying collateral for margin loans is evaluated with respect to the liquidity of the collateral positions, valuation of securities, volatility analysis and an evaluation of industry concentrations. Adherence to the Company’s collateral policies significantly limits the Company’s credit exposure to margin loans in the event of a customer’s default. Under margin lending agreements, the Company may request additional margin collateral from customers and may sell securities that have not been paid for or purchase securities sold but not delivered from customers, if necessary. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, approximately $11.18 billion and $9.85 billion of customer margin loans were outstanding.

In the normal course of business, the Company pledges qualified securities with clearing organizations to satisfy daily margin and clearing fund requirements. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the majority of the Company’s government obligations owned were pledged to clearing organizations.

Financial instruments owned and pledged, including amounts pledged to affiliates, where the counterparty has the right to repledge, at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 consisted of the following (millions):

		March 31,		December 31,
		2013		2012
Stocks	$	694.3	$	775.2
Warrants		0.6		0.4
U.S. and foreign government obligations		143.0		147.0
Corporate and municipal bonds		2.1		4.3
	$	840.0	$	926.9

8. Senior Notes Payable

In January 2012, the Company discontinued its Senior Notes Program. All previously issued Senior Notes, $101,411 outstanding as of December 31, 2011, were redeemed prior to June 30, 2012.

9. Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility

On May 17, 2012, IBG LLC entered into a $100 million three-year senior secured revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent and Citibank, N.A., as syndication agent. This credit facility replaced a similar two-year facility that expired on May 18, 2012.

IBG LLC is the sole borrower under this credit facility. The facility’s interest rate is indexed to the overnight federal funds rate or to the British Bankers Association LIBOR rate for the relevant term, at the borrower’s option, and is secured by a first priority interest in all of the capital stock of each entity owned directly by IBG LLC (subject to customary limitations with respect to foreign subsidiaries). The facility may be used to finance working capital needs and general corporate purposes, including downstreaming funds to IBG LLC’s regulated broker-dealer subsidiaries as regulatory capital. This allows IBG LLC to take advantage of market

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(dollars in thousands, except shares and per share amounts, unless otherwise noted)

opportunities when they arise, while maintaining substantial excess regulatory capital. The financial condition covenants contained in this credit facility include the following:

•

minimum consolidated shareholders’ equity, as defined, of $3.6 billion, with quarterly increases equal to 25% of positive consolidated net income;

•

maximum total debt to capitalization ratio of 30%;

•

minimum liquidity ratio of 1.0 to 1.0; and

•

maximum total debt to net regulatory capital ratio of 35%.

At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, no borrowings were outstanding under this or the predecessor credit facility and IBG LLC was in compliance with all of the covenants. At maturity, subject to meeting certain terms of the facility, the Company will have an option to convert the facility to a one-year term loan.

10. Employee Incentive Plans

Return on Investment Dollar Units (“ROI Dollar Units”)

From 1998 through January 1, 2006, IBG LLC granted all non-member employees ROI Dollar Units, which are redeemable under the amended provisions of the plan, and in accordance with regulations issued by the Internal Revenue Service (Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code). Upon redemption, the grantee is entitled to accumulated earnings on the face value of the certificate, but not the actual face value. For grants made in 1998 and 1999, grantees may redeem the ROI Dollar Units after vesting on the fifth anniversary of the date of their grant and prior to the tenth anniversary of the date of their grant. For grants made between January 1, 2000 and January 1, 2005, grantees must elect to redeem the ROI Dollar Units upon the fifth, seventh or tenth anniversary date. These ROI Dollar Units will vest upon the fifth anniversary of the date of their grant and will continue to accumulate earnings until the elected redemption date. For grants made on or after January 1, 2006, all ROI Dollar Units shall vest on the fifth anniversary date of their grant and will be automatically redeemed. Subsequent to the IPO, no additional ROI Dollar Units have been or will be granted, and non-cash compensation to employees will consist primarily of grants of shares of Common Stock as described below under “2007 Stock Incentive Plan.”

As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, payables to employees for ROI Dollar Units were $7.7 million and $7.6 million, respectively, all of which were vested. These amounts are included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. Compensation expense for the ROI Dollar Unit plan, included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income was $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

2007 ROI Unit Stock Plan

In connection with the IPO, IBG, Inc. adopted the Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. 2007 ROI Unit Stock Plan (the “ROI Unit Stock Plan”). Under this plan, certain employees of the Group who held ROI Dollar Units, at the employee’s option, elected to invest their ROI Dollar Unit accumulated earnings as of December 31, 2006 in shares of Common Stock. An aggregate of 1,271,009 shares of Common Stock (consisting of 1,250,000 shares issued under the ROI Unit Stock Plan and 21,009 shares under the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan, as described below), with a fair value at the date of grant of $38.1 million were issued to IBG LLC and held as treasury stock, to be distributed to employees in accordance with the following schedule and subject to the conditions below:

•

10% on the date of the IPO (or on the first anniversary of the IPO, in the case of U.S. ROI Unit holders who made the above-referenced elections after December 31, 2006); and

•

an additional 15% on each of the first six anniversaries of the date of the IPO, assuming continued employment with IBG, Inc. and compliance with other applicable covenants.

Of the fair value at the date of grant, $17.8 million represented the accumulated ROI Dollar Unit value elected to be invested by employees in Common Stock and such amount was accrued for as of December 31, 2006. The remainder is being ratably accrued as compensation expense by the Company from the date of the IPO over the requisite service period represented by the aforementioned distribution schedule. Compensation expense for the 2007 ROI Unit Stock Plan and related grants under the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan, net of the effect of forfeitures, included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $0.9 million. As of December 31, 2012, compensation costs for the ROI Unit Stock Plan had been fully accrued.

2007 Stock Incentive Plan

Under the Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Incentive Plan” or “SIP”), up to 20.0 million shares of common stock may be granted and issued to directors, officers, employees, contractors and consultants of IBG, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The purpose of the Stock Incentive Plan is to promote IBG, Inc.’s long-term financial success by attracting, retaining and rewarding eligible participants.

The Stock Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of IBG, Inc.’s Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee has discretionary authority to determine which employees are eligible to participate in the Stock Incentive Plan and establishes the terms and conditions of the awards, including the number of awards granted to each employee and all other terms and conditions applicable to such awards in individual grant agreements. Awards are expected to be made primarily through grants of Common Stock. Stock Incentive Plan awards are subject to issuance over time and may be forfeited upon an employee’s termination of employment or violation of certain applicable covenants prior to issuance, unless determined otherwise by the Compensation Committee.

The Stock Incentive Plan provides that, upon a change in control, the Compensation Committee may, at its discretion, fully vest any granted but not yet earned awards under the Stock Incentive Plan, or provide that any such granted but not yet earned awards will be honored or assumed, or new rights substituted therefore by the new employer on a substantially similar basis and on terms and conditions substantially comparable to those of the Stock Incentive Plan.

IBG, Inc. granted awards under the Stock Incentive Plan in connection with the IPO and is expected to continue to grant awards on or about December 31 of each year following the IPO, to eligible employees as part of an overall plan of equity compensation. Shares of common stock vest, and become distributable to employees in accordance with the following schedule:

•

10% on the first vesting date, which approximates the anniversary of the IPO; and

•

an additional 15% on each of the following six anniversaries of the first vesting, assuming continued employment with IBG, Inc. and compliance with non-competition and other applicable covenants.

Awards granted to external directors vest, and are distributed, over a five-year period (20% per year) commencing one year after the date of grant. 20,423 awards have been granted to the external directors cumulatively since the IPO.

Stock Incentive Plan share grants (excluding 21,009 shares issued pursuant to the 2007 ROI Unit Stock Plan above) and the related fair values at the date of grant were:

Estimated future grants under the Stock Incentive Plan are being accrued for ratably during each year under the ASC 718 “Graded Vesting” method. Compensation expense recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were $8.7 million and $19.6 million, respectively. Estimated future compensation costs for unvested awards at March 31, 2013 are $39.6 million.

Awards granted under the ROI Unit Stock Plan and the Stock Incentive Plan are subject to forfeiture in the event an employee ceases employment with the Company. The plans provide that employees who discontinue employment with the Company without cause and continue to meet the terms of the plans’ post-employment provisions will forfeit 50% of unvested previously granted awards unless the employee is over the age of 59, in which case the employee would be eligible to receive 100% of unvested awards previously granted. Distributions of remaining awards granted on or before January 1, 2009 to former employees will occur within 90 days of the anniversary of the termination of employment date over a five (5) year vesting schedule, 12.5% in each of the first four years and 50% in the fifth year. Distributions of remaining awards granted on or after January 1, 2010 to former employees will occur over the remaining vesting schedule applicable to each grant. Through March 31, 2013, a total of 49,893 shares have been distributed under these post-employment provisions. These distributions are included in the Stock Plans activity tables above.

11. Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate due to the differing effective tax rates in foreign, state and local jurisdictions where certain operating companies are subject to corporate taxation. Deferred income taxes arise due to the amortization of the deferred tax assets recognized in connection with the Common Stock offerings (Note 4), valuation of THE’s financial assets and liabilities and temporary differences arising from the deductibility of compensation and depreciation expenses in different time periods for book and tax return purposes.

At March 31, 2013, accumulated earnings held by non-U.S. subsidiaries totaled $1.02 billion (December 31, 2012 - $969.8 million). Of this amount, approximately $395.8 million (December 31, 2012 - $380.6 million) is attributable to earnings of our foreign subsidiaries that are considered “pass-through” entities for U.S. income tax purposes. Since the Company accounts for U.S. income taxes on these earnings on a current basis, no additional U.S. tax consequences would result from the repatriation of these earnings other than that which would be due arising from currency fluctuations between the time the earnings are reported for U.S. tax purposes and when they are remitted. With respect to certain of these subsidiaries’ accumulated earnings (approximately $302.8 million and $297.5 million as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively), repatriation would result in additional foreign taxes in the form of dividend withholding tax imposed on the recipient of the distribution or dividend distribution tax imposed on the payor of the distribution. The Company has not provided for its proportionate share of these additional foreign taxes as it does not intend to repatriate these earnings in the foreseeable future. For the same reason, the Company has not provided deferred U.S. tax on cumulative translation adjustments associated with these earnings.

The remainder of the accumulated earnings are attributable to non-U.S. subsidiaries that are not considered “pass-through” entities for U.S. tax purposes. The Company’s U.S. tax basis in the stock of most of these entities exceeds its book basis. Establishing a deferred tax asset pursuant to ASC 740 therefore is not permitted as this difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. In the instances in which the Company’s book basis exceeds its U.S. tax basis, no deferred tax liability has been established as the Company considers the earnings of those entities to be indefinitely reinvested.

12. Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees

Litigation

The Company is subject to certain pending and threatened legal actions which arise out of the normal course of business. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, particularly in proceedings where claimants seek substantial or indeterminate damages, or which are in their early stages. IBG, Inc. has not been able to quantify the actual loss or range of loss related to such legal proceedings, the manner in which they will be resolved, the timing of final resolution or the ultimate settlement. Management believes that the resolution of these actions will not have a material effect, if any, on our business or financial condition, but may have a material impact on the results of operations for a given period.

On February 3, 2010, Trading Technologies International, Inc. (“Trading Technologies”) filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, against Interactive Brokers Group, Inc., IBG LLC, Holdings, and Interactive Brokers LLC. Thereafter, Trading Technologies dismissed Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. and Holdings from the case, leaving only IBG LLC and Interactive Brokers LLC as defendants (“Defendants”). The operative complaint, as amended, alleges that the Defendants have infringed and continue to infringe twelve U.S. patents held by Trading Technologies. Trading Technologies is seeking, among other things, unspecified damages and injunctive relief. The case is in the early stages and discovery has yet to begin. While it is too early to predict the outcome of the matter, we believe we have meritorious defenses to the allegations made in the complaint and intend to defend ourselves vigorously against them. However, litigation is inherently uncertain and there can be no guarantee that the Company will prevail or that the litigation can be settled on favorable terms.

IBG, Inc. accounts for potential losses related to litigation in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies . As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, reserves provided for potential losses related to litigation matters were not material.

Guarantees

Certain of the Operating Companies provide guarantees to securities clearing houses and exchanges which meet the accounting definition of a guarantee under ASC 460, Guarantees . Under the standard membership agreement, members are required to guarantee collectively the performance of other members. Under the agreements, if another member becomes unable to satisfy its obligations to the clearinghouse, other members would be required to meet shortfalls. In the opinion of management, the Operating Companies’ liability under these arrangements is not quantifiable and could exceed the cash and securities they have posted as collateral. However, the potential for these Operating Companies to be required to make payments under these arrangements is remote. Accordingly, no contingent liability is carried in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial condition for these arrangements.

In connection with its retail brokerage business, IB LLC performs securities and commodities execution, clearance and settlement on behalf of its customers for whom it commits to settle trades submitted by such customers with the respective clearing houses. If a customer fails to fulfill its obligation, IB LLC must fulfill the customer’s obligation with the trade counterparty. No contingent liability is carried on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial condition for such customer obligations.

Other Commitments

Certain clearing houses and clearing banks and firms used by certain Operating Companies are given a security interest in certain assets of those Operating Companies held by those clearing organizations. These assets may be applied to satisfy the obligations of those Operating Companies to the respective clearing organizations.

13. Segment and Geographic Information

IBG, Inc. operates in two business segments: electronic brokerage and market making. The Company conducts its market making business principally through its Timber Hill subsidiaries on the world’s leading exchanges and market centers, primarily in exchange-traded equities, equity options and equity-index options and futures. IBG, Inc. conducts its electronic brokerage business through its Interactive Brokers subsidiaries, which provide electronic execution and clearing services to customers worldwide.

Significant transactions and balances between the Operating Companies occur, primarily as a result of certain Operating Companies holding exchange or clearing organization memberships, which are utilized to provide execution and clearing services to affiliates. Charges for transactions between segments are designed to approximate full costs. Intra-segment and intra-region income and expenses and related balances have been eliminated in this segment and geographic information to accurately reflect the external

(dollars in thousands, except shares and per share amounts, unless otherwise noted)

business conducted in each segment or geographical region. Corporate items include non-allocated corporate income and expenses that are not attributed to segments for performance measurement, corporate assets and eliminations.

Management believes that the following information by business segment provides a reasonable representation of each segment’s contribution to total net revenues and income before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, and to total assets as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (millions):

The Company operates its automated global business in U.S. and international markets on more than 100 exchanges and market centers. A significant portion of IBG, Inc.’s net revenues are generated by subsidiaries operating outside the United States. International operations are comprised of electronic brokerage and market making activities in 23 countries in Europe, Asia and the Americas (outside the United States). The following table presents total net revenues and income before income taxes by geographic area for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 (millions):

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes in Item 1, included elsewhere in this report. In addition to historical information, the following discussion also contains forward-looking statements that include risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 8, 2013 and elsewhere in this report.

Introduction

IBG, Inc. is a holding company whose primary asset is ownership of approximately 11.9% of the membership interests of the Group.

We are an automated global electronic broker and market maker specializing in routing orders and executing and processing trades in securities, futures and foreign exchange instruments on more than 100 electronic exchanges and trading venues around the world. Since our inception in 1977, we have focused on developing proprietary software to automate broker-dealer functions. The advent of electronic exchanges in the last 23 years has provided us with the opportunity to integrate our software with an increasing number of exchanges and trading venues into one automatically functioning, computerized platform that requires minimal human intervention.

Business Segments

The Company reports its results in two business segments, electronic brokerage and market making. These segments are analyzed separately as we derive our revenues from these two principal business activities as well as allocate resources and assess performance.

Electronic Brokerage. We conduct our electronic brokerage business through our Interactive Brokers (“IB”) subsidiaries. As an electronic broker, we execute, clear and settle trades globally for both institutional and individual customers. Capitalizing on the technology originally developed for our market making business, IB’s systems provide our customers with the capability to monitor multiple markets around the world simultaneously and to execute trades electronically in these markets at a low cost, in multiple products and currencies from a single trading account. We offer our customers access to all classes of tradable, exchange-listed products, including stocks, bonds, options, futures, forex and mutual funds traded on more than 100 exchanges and market centers and in 20 countries around the world seamlessly.

In addition, we provide information services through the Interactive Brokers Information System (“IBIS”). IBIS offers subscribers and our brokerage customers a robust suite of informational tools at a fraction of the cost of traditional research platforms. It includes live quotes, newswire feeds, calendars of economic and earnings events, fundamental research data, charts and more in an interface that can be configured to customers’ needs. IBIS is available to our cleared customers free of charge.

Market Making. We conduct our market making business through our Timber Hill subsidiaries. As one of the largest market makers on many of the world’s leading exchanges, we provide liquidity by offering competitively tight bid/offer spreads over a broad base of over 965,000 tradable, exchange-listed products. As principal, we commit our own capital and derive revenues or incur losses from the difference between the price paid when securities are bought and the price received when those securities are sold. Because we provide continuous bid and offer quotations and we are continuously both buying and selling quoted securities, we may have either a long or a short position in a particular product at a given point in time. Our entire portfolio is evaluated each second and continuously rebalanced throughout the trading day, minimizing the risk of our portfolio at all times. This real-time rebalancing of our portfolio, together with our real-time proprietary risk management system, enables us to curtail risk and to be profitable in both up-market and down-market scenarios.

When we use the terms “we,” “us,” and “our,” we mean IBG, Inc. and its subsidiaries for the periods presented.

Executive Overview

First Quarter Results : Diluted earnings per share on a comprehensive basis were $0.06 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 as compared to comprehensive diluted earnings per share of $0.33 for the same period in 2012.

Reported results on a comprehensive basis reflect the GAAP convention that requires the reporting of currency translation results contained in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) as part of reportable earnings.

Currency translation effects are largely a result of our currency strategy. We have determined to base our net worth in GLOBALs, a self-defined basket of currencies in which we maintain our equity. Approximately 62% of our equity is

denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars 1 . The effects of our currency strategy appear in two places in the financial statements: (1) as a component of trading gains in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income and (2) as OCI in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of financial condition. As described above, the full effect of the GLOBAL is captured in comprehensive income.

On a non-comprehensive basis, which excludes the effect of changes in the U.S. dollar value of the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries, diluted earnings per share were $0.14 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to $0.27 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

In light of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against a number of other currencies, adding OCI to net income decreased diluted comprehensive earnings per share by $0.08 for the current quarter.

Consolidated: For the three months ended March 31, 2013, our net revenues were $216.1 million and income before income taxes was $82.2 million, as compared to net revenues of $303.9 million and income before income taxes of $149.7 million for the corresponding period in 2012. This decrease was driven by lower trading gains, partially offset by an increase in commissions and execution fees and an increase in net interest income, along with a decrease in employee compensation and benefits expense. The decrease in trading gains was a result of a subdued market making environment and negative currency translation effects as compared to the year-ago quarter. As a result of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar, currency translation decreased trading gains by $60.8 million this quarter compared to a loss of $0.9 million in the year-ago quarter. Commissions and execution fees increased from the year-ago quarter due to higher cleared customer volume. Lower employee compensation and benefits accounted for a decrease of $16.4 million of expense, which was largely a result of a decrease in compensation expense in our market making segment compared to the year-ago quarter. Our pre-tax margin for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was 38%, as compared to 49% for the corresponding period in 2012.

Brokerage: By several measures, the quarter ended March 31, 2013 was a record quarter for brokerage. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, income before income taxes in our electronic brokerage segment increased 33%, to $111.0 million from $83.4 million, in the three months ended March 31, 2012. The drivers were increased commissions and execution fees and increased net interest income, partially offset by an increase in execution and clearing fee expenses. Commissions increased by 19% from the year-ago quarter on higher customer volume in options, futures and stocks from our cleared customers. Cleared customer Daily Average Revenue Trades (“DARTs”) increased by 8% from the same period last year. Execution and clearing expenses were 19% higher on increased cleared customer volume. The increase in net interest income was attributable to an increase in net interest earned on customer cash and margin balances compared to the year-ago period as well as an increase in net fees earned from securities borrowed and loaned transactions. Customer equity grew by 23%, to $35.6 billion, from the year-ago quarter. Pre-tax margin increased from 52% to 57% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively.

Market Making: During the three months ended March 31, 2013, income before income taxes in our market making segment decreased 144%, to a loss of $29.0 million from $66.0 million, in the three months ended March 31, 2012. This reflects a $118.3 million decrease in trading gains from the year-ago quarter. Removing the effects of currency translation, the Market Making segment produced $31.8 million pretax income in this quarter, compared to $66.9 million for the same period last year. Trading gains were negatively impacted by an unfavorable market making environment with low volatility, one-directional market movement, and tight bid/offer spreads. The CBOE Volatility Index (“VIX ® ”), was at its lowest level in recent history this quarter.

Currency translation effects decreased trading gains $59.9 million compared to the corresponding period in 2012, reflecting a $60.8 million loss compared to a $0.9 million loss in the prior year quarter. Execution and clearing expenses were 33% lower during the three months ended March 31, 2013 than in the year-ago quarter due to a 10% decrease in options volume. Pre-tax margin decreased to (123)% in the first quarter of 2013, as compared to 46% in the corresponding period of 2012. Excluding currency translation effects, pretax margin was 38%, as compared to 47% in the prior year quarter.

Notes:

1.	Futures contract volume includes options on futures

In Brazil, an equity option contract typically represents one share of the underlying stock; however, the typical minimum trading quantity is 100 contracts. To make a fair comparison to volume at other exchanges, we have adopted a policy of reporting Brazilian equity options contracts divided by their trading quantity of 100.

Business Environment

Investor sentiment improved in the beginning of 2013 as compared to the second half of 2012, when market volumes had slumped due to economic uncertainty and weakened investor confidence. During the first quarter, U.S. stock indexes posted record highs. This environment was beneficial to our brokerage business and customer accounts and customer equity growth were strong. Customer accounts grew by 11% while customer equity grew by 23%, year over year, growth that compared favorably to the 11% rise in the S&P 500 Index, in the same period.

Despite these positive developments, global trading volumes remained below trading levels in the year-ago quarter. According to data received from exchanges worldwide, volumes in exchange-listed equity-based options decreased by approximately 6% globally and in the U.S., as compared to the corresponding quarter in 2012. While our overall customer trading volumes in options were 3% lower, consistent with the market trend, we are encouraged by the 25% increase in cleared customer options volume, which generates more revenue for the Company. This increase was, in part, fueled by the growth in customer accounts.

The business environment for market making was far less positive. Volatility was low, markets were one-directional and bid/offer spreads on exchange-traded products remained tight, driving trading gains to the lowest level in years. Our market making profits are generally correlated with market volatility since we typically maintain an overall long volatility position, which protects us against a severe market dislocation in either direction. Based on the VIX ® , the average volatility during the first quarter was approximately 26% lower than it was in the first quarter of 2012. The ratio of actual to implied volatility is also meaningful to our results. Because the cost of hedging our positions is based on implied volatility, while our trading profits are, in part, based on actual market volatility, a higher ratio is generally favorable and a lower ratio generally has a negative effect on our trading gains. This ratio averaged approximately 76% during the first quarter, as compared to 75% in the fourth quarter of 2012 and 52% in the year-ago quarter.

Currency movements negatively impacted our performance as the U.S. dollar strengthened against several currencies in the GLOBAL, our self-defined currency basket in which we base our equity. As a global market maker trading on exchanges around the world in multiple currencies, we are exposed to foreign currency risk. We actively manage this exposure by maintaining our net worth in GLOBALs. Because we report our financial results in U.S. dollars, the change in the value of the GLOBAL to the U.S. dollar affects our earnings. As of March 31, 2013, 62% of the GLOBAL was comprised of foreign currencies. During the first quarter of 2013, the value of the GLOBAL as expressed in U.S. dollars decreased 1.9% compared to the previous quarter, which negatively affected our comprehensive earnings and added to the negative impacts of lower volatilities this quarter.

During the first quarter of 2013 we accounted for approximately 9.4% of the exchange-listed equity-based options (including options on ETFs and stock index products) volume traded worldwide and approximately 12.0% of exchange-listed equity-based options volume traded in the U.S. This compares to approximately 9.5% of the exchange-listed equity-based options volume traded worldwide and approximately 13.3% of the exchange-listed equity-based options volume traded in the U.S. in the first quarter of 2012. Note that market share is not directly correlated with our profits.

Discussions and debate around market structure carry on, as regulators attempt to understand the effects that algorithmic trading and high frequency traders (“HFTs”) are having on financial markets and investors. It is still uncertain whether any significant changes made in the near term will alter the current state of the U.S. financial market, which has become very fragmented. At this time, over one third of trading volume is executed at non-public venues, such as dark pools and broker systems that internalize customer orders, raising concerns of price distortion and shallow liquidity on visible exchanges.

See the tables on pages 34 – 35 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional details regarding our trade volumes, contract and share volumes and brokerage statistics.

Certain Trends and Uncertainties

We believe that our continuing operations may be favorably or unfavorably impacted by the following trends that may affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Over the past several years, the effects of market structure changes, competition (in particular, from HFTs) and market conditions have, during certain periods, exerted downward pressure on bid/offer spreads realized by market makers.

Retail broker-dealer participation in the equity markets has fluctuated over the past few years due to investor sentiment, market conditions and a variety of other factors. Retail transaction volumes may not be sustainable and are not predictable.

In recent years, in an effort to improve the quality of their executions as well as increase efficiencies, market makers have increased the level of automation within their operations, which may allow them to compete more effectively with us.

Regulatory and legislative authorities have increased their scrutiny of equity and option market makers, hedge funds and soft dollar practices. New legislation or modifications to existing regulations and rules could occur in the future.

Consolidation among market centers may adversely affect the value of our smart routing software.

A driver of our market making profits is the relationship between actual and implied volatility in the equities markets. The cost of maintaining our conservative risk profile is based on implied volatility, while our profitability, in part, is based on actual volatility. Hence, our profitability is increased when actual volatility runs above implied volatility and it is decreased when actual volatility falls below implied volatility. Implied volatility tends to lag actual volatility.

See “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 8, 2013 and elsewhere in this report for a discussion of other risks that may affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2012

Net Revenues

Total net revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 decreased $87.8 million or 29%, to $216.1 million from $303.9 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The decrease in net revenues was primarily due to a decrease in trading gains compared to the year-ago quarter, partially offset by increases in commissions and execution fees and net interest income. Trading volume is an important driver of revenues and costs for both our electronic brokerage and market making segments. First quarter 2013 volumes in options decreased 8% from year-ago levels while futures contracts and stock shares volumes increased 32% and 21%, respectively.

Trading Gains. Trading gains for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 decreased $118.3 million, or 86%, to $19.0 million from $137.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Removing the effects of currency translation, the Market Making segment produced $79.8 million in trading gains in this quarter, compared to $138.2 million in trading gains for the same period last year. As market makers, we provide liquidity by buying from sellers and selling to buyers. During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, our market making operations executed 16.6 million trades, an increase of 10% as compared to the number of trades executed in the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Options contract volume decreased 10% while futures contracts and stock shares volumes increased 54% and 40%, respectively, as compared to the year-ago quarter. The decrease in trading gains was amplified by a $59.9 million increase in currency losses. Trading gains reflected a currency translation loss of $60.8 million during the current quarter compared to a $0.9 million loss in same period of 2012. As part of managing our overall exposure to foreign currency fluctuations, we maintain our capital in a basket of currencies we call the GLOBAL. A discussion of our approach to managing foreign currency exposure is contained in Part I, Item 3 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q entitled “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.”

Trading gains were negatively impacted by a 26% decrease in average volatility, as measured by the VIX ® , in the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the year-ago quarter. In addition, the ratio of actual to implied volatility and bid-offer spreads on U.S. exchanges remained at low levels. As a result, our trading gains, after removing the effects of currency translation, were approximately 42% lower than those of the year-ago quarter.

Included in trading gains are net dividends. Dividend income and expense arise from holding market making positions over dates on which dividends are paid to shareholders of record. When a stock pays a dividend, its market price is generally adjusted downward to reflect the value paid, which will not be received by those who purchase stock after the ex-dividend date. Hence, the apparent gains and losses due to these price changes, reflecting the value of dividends paid to shareholders, must be taken together with the dividends paid and received, respectively, to accurately reflect the results of our market making operations.

Commissions and Execution Fees. Commissions and execution fees for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 increased $18.7 million, or 19%, to $119.6 million, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The growth in commissions was driven by increases in cleared customer options, futures and stock volumes of 25%, 27% and 18%, respectively. Total DARTs for cleared and execution-only customers for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 increased 9% to approximately 465,000, as compared to approximately 428,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Average commission per DART for cleared customers, for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, increased by 15% to $4.61, as compared to $4.01 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. DARTs for cleared customers, i.e., customers for whom we execute trades as well as clear and carry positions, increased 8% to approximately 422,000, for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, as compared to approximately 391,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The number of customer accounts grew by 11% to approximately 217,000 at March 31, 2013, as compared to approximately 195,000 at March 31, 2012. Customer equity grew by 23%, to $35.6 billion, from the year-ago quarter-end.

Interest Income and Interest Expense. Net interest income (interest income less interest expense) for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 increased $10.2 million, or 22%, to $57.6 million, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The increase in net interest income was driven by higher customer cash and margin balances and higher net fees earned from securities borrowed and loaned transactions.

Net interest income on customer balances increased $4.2 million compared to the year-ago quarter. Average customer cash balances increased by 14%, to $21.43 billion, while average customer fully secured margin borrowings increased 39% to $10.92 billion, for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, as compared to $18.79 billion and $7.87 billion, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The average Fed Funds effective rate increased 4 basis points to 0.14% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

We earn fees on securities loaned and borrowed to support customer long and short stock holdings in margin accounts. In addition, our Stock Yield Enhancement Program provides an opportunity for customers with fully-paid stock to allow IB to lend it out. In exchange for lending out their stock, our customers receive 50% of the stock loan fees. IB places cash collateral securing the loans in the

customer’s account. In the market making segment, as a result of the way we have integrated our market making and securities lending systems, our trading income and our net interest income are interchangeable and depend on the mix of market making positions in our portfolio. When implied interest rates in the equity and equity options and futures markets exceed the actual interest rates available to us, our market making systems tend to buy stock and sell it forward, which produces higher trading gains and lower net interest income. When these rates are inverted, our market making systems tend to sell stock and buy it forward, which produces lower trading gains and higher net interest income.

Average securities borrowed increased by 9%, to $3.35 billion and average securities loaned increased by 26%, to $2.06 billion, for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. Net interest earned from securities borrowed and loaned is also affected by the level of demand for securities positions held by our market making companies and by our customers. During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, net fees earned by our brokerage and market making segments from securities borrowed and loaned transactions increased $5.2 million compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

Other Income. Other income, for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, increased $1.6 million, or 9%, to $19.9 million, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The increase was due to higher revenue from minimum activity fees on customer accounts and an increase in order flow income.

Non-Interest Expenses

Non-interest expenses, for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, decreased by $20.3 million, or 13%, to $133.9 million from $154.2 million, during the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to lower execution and clearing fees in the market making segment and lower employee compensation and benefits expenses. As a percentage of total net revenues, non-interest expenses increased to 62% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 from 51% during the corresponding period in 2012.

Execution and Clearing. Execution and clearing expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, decreased $5.1 million, or 8%, to $59.5 million, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The decrease resulted from an 8% drop in options volume and an increase in the proportion of our market maker executions on exchanges and ECNs with make-or-take revenue models. As a market maker under the make-or-take fee model, we are paid for providing liquidity instead of being charged payment-for-order flow fees.

Employee Compensation and Benefits. Employee compensation and benefits expenses, for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, decreased by $16.4 million, or 26%, to $46.3 million, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The decrease in employee compensation and benefits expense was largely a result of reduced bonus related expenses for our market making segment compared to the year-ago quarter. In addition, expenses related to our 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (“SIP”) decreased from the year-ago quarter, when a special discretionary grant of restricted stock units was awarded. The average number of employees increased 1% to 890 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, as compared to 880 for the corresponding period in 2012. As we continue to grow, our focus on automation has allowed us to maintain a relatively small staff. As a percentage of total net revenues, employee compensation and benefits expenses were 21% in both the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses, for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, increased $1.2 million, or 11% to $12.5 million, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increases in bad debt expense, non-income related taxes and administrative fees.

* Corporate includes corporate related activities as well as inter-segment eliminations.

The following sections discuss results of our operations by business segment, excluding a discussion of corporate income and expense. In the following tables, revenues and expenses directly associated with each segment are included in determining income before income taxes. Due to the integrated nature of the business segments, estimates and judgments have been made in allocating certain revenue and expense items. Transactions between segments generally result from one subsidiary facilitating the business of another subsidiary through the use of its existing trading memberships and clearing arrangements. In such cases, certain revenue and expense items are eliminated to accurately reflect the external business conducted in each segment. Rates on transactions between segments are designed to approximate full costs. In addition to execution and clearing expenses, which are the main cost driver for both the market making segment and the electronic brokerage segment, each segment’s operating expenses include (i) employee compensation and benefits expenses that are incurred directly in support of the businesses, (ii) general and administrative expenses, which include directly incurred expenses for property leases, professional fees, travel and entertainment, communications and information services, equipment, and (iii) indirect support costs (including compensation and other related operating expenses) for administrative services provided by IBG LLC. Such administrative services include, but are not limited to, computer software development and support, accounting, tax, legal and facilities management.

Electronic brokerage total net revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 increased $36.0 million, or 23%, to $195.3 million, from $159.3 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2012, primarily due to higher commissions and execution fees and higher net interest income. Commissions and execution fees increased $18.7 million, or 19%, and net interest income increased $11.2 million, or 26%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the corresponding period in 2012. The increase in commissions and execution fees is directly attributable to higher cleared customer volume, which rose in options and futures contracts and stock shares by 25%, 27% and 18%, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 from the corresponding period in 2012. Total DARTs from cleared and execution-only customers for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 increased 9% to approximately 465,000, as compared to approximately 428,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2012. DARTs from cleared customers for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 increased 8% to approximately 422,000, as compared to approximately 391,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The increase in net interest income was attributable to greater customer credit balances and margin borrowings. Average customer credit balances grew by 14% and average fully secured customer margin borrowings grew by 34% in the first quarter of 2013 from the same period last year. Total customer equity grew by 23% to $35.6 billion at March 31, 2013, from $28.9 billion at March 31, 2012. The number of customer accounts grew by 11% from March 31, 2012 to approximately 217,000 at March 31, 2013.

Electronic brokerage non-interest expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 increased $8.4 million, or 11%, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Within non-interest expenses, execution and clearing expenses increased by $5.8 million, driven primarily by an increase in customer trading volume in futures. Employee compensation and benefits expenses decreased by $1.6 million, or 8% during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 as compared to 2012. The decrease in employee compensation and benefits expense reflects the non-recurrence of the special discretionary grant of restricted stock units awarded in January 2012. General and administrative expenses increased $3.8 million as administrative and consulting fees increased $3.6 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 as compared to 2012. As a percentage of total net revenues, non-interest expenses decreased to 43% from 48% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the corresponding period in 2012.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2012

Market making total net revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 decreased $118.8 million, or 83%, to $23.6 million, from $142.4 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Trading gains for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 decreased $118.3 million, or 86% from the year-ago quarter. As part of managing our overall exposure to foreign currency fluctuations, we maintain our capital in proportion to a basket of currencies we call the GLOBAL. The decrease in trading gains was amplified by a currency translation loss of $60.8 million in the first quarter of 2013 as compared to a $0.9 million loss in the corresponding period in 2012. A discussion of our approach to managing foreign currency exposure is contained in Part I, Item 3 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q entitled “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.”

Trading gains were negatively impacted by a 26% decrease in average volatility, as measured by the VIX ® , which decreased to 13.5, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the year-ago quarter. Bid-offer spreads on U.S. exchange-traded options were narrower in the first quarter of 2013 than in the corresponding period in 2012. These negative factors made the trading environment more challenging than that of the quarter ended March 31, 2012. As a result, our trading gains, after removing the effects of currency translation, were 42% lower than those of the year-ago quarter.

Market making options contract volume decreased 10%, while futures contracts and stock shares volumes increased 54% and 40%, respectively, in the quarter ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the corresponding period in 2012.

Net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 decreased by $0.2 million to $4.3 million. The decrease was driven by lower interest earned from firm cash balances, partially offset by an increase in net fees earned from securities borrowed and loaned transactions. As described above, our trading gains and our net interest income are interchangeable and depend on the mix of market making positions in our portfolio and on relative interest rates in the stock and options markets. In the quarter ended March 31, 2013, these factors, together with securities lending activity, produced less net interest income than in the first quarter of 2012.

Market making non-interest expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 decreased $23.8 million, or 31%, as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The decrease primarily resulted from an $11.4 million decrease in execution and clearing fees and a $10.8 million decrease in employee compensation and benefits during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 as compared to 2012. The decrease in execution and clearing fees was primarily due to lower options volume and an increase in the proportion of our market maker executions on exchanges and ECNs with make-or-take revenue models. As a market maker under the make-or-take fee model, we are paid for providing liquidity instead of being charged payment-for-order flow fees. The decrease in employee compensation and benefits expense reflects lower current period bonus expenses as well as the non-recurrence of the special discretionary

grant of restricted stock units awarded in January 2012. As a percentage of total net revenues, market making non-interest expenses increased to 223% from 54% for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We maintain a highly liquid balance sheet. The majority of our assets consist of exchange-listed marketable securities, which are marked-to-market daily, cash and securities segregated for customers, and collateralized receivables arising from customer-related and proprietary securities transactions. Collateralized receivables consist primarily of securities borrowed, and, to a lesser extent, customer margin loans, receivables from clearing houses for settlement of securities transactions and securities purchased under agreements to resell. At March 31, 2013, total assets were $35.14 billion of which approximately $34.72 billion, or 98.8%, were considered liquid and consisted predominantly of marketable securities, customers’ cash and collateralized receivables.

We undertake daily monitoring of liquidity needs and available collateral levels to help ensure that we maintain an appropriate liquidity cushion, in the form of unpledged collateral at all times. Our ability to quickly reduce funding needs by balance sheet contraction without adversely affecting our core businesses and to pledge additional collateral in support of secured borrowings is continuously evaluated to ascertain the adequacy of our capital base.

We actively manage our excess liquidity and we maintain significant borrowing facilities through the securities lending markets and with banks. As a general practice, we maintain sufficient levels of cash on hand to provide us with a buffer should we need immediately available funds for any reason.

For purposes of providing additional liquidity and further increasing our regulatory capital reserves, we maintain a committed senior secured revolving credit facility from a syndicate of banks and we previously issued senior notes (see “Principal Indebtedness” below). As of March 31, 2013, we had no borrowings under these facilities. Liability balances in connection with our payables to customers and securities loaned as of March 31, 2013 were higher than their respective average balances during the previous three months.

Based on our current level of operations, we believe our cash flows from operations, available cash and available borrowings under our senior secured revolving credit facility will be adequate to meet our future liquidity needs for more than the next twelve months.

Cash and cash equivalents held by the Company’s non-U.S. operating companies at March 31, 2013 were $481.2 million ($515.1 million at December 31, 2012). These funds are primarily intended to finance each individual Operating Company’s local operations, and thus would not be available to fund U.S. domestic operations unless repatriated through payment of dividends to IBG LLC. The Company currently has no intention to repatriate further amounts from non-U.S. operating companies. In the event dividends were to be paid to the Company in the future by a non-U.S. operating company, as occurred in connection with the special dividend in December 2010 and, in part, in December 2012, the Company would be required to accrue and pay income taxes on such dividends to the extent that U.S. income taxes had not been paid previously on the income of the paying company.

Historically, IBG LLC’s consolidated equity has consisted primarily of accumulated retained earnings, which to date have been sufficient to fund our operations and growth. IBG LLC’s consolidated equity decreased to $4.80 billion at March 31, 2013 from $4.94 billion at March 31, 2012 as a result of dividends paid during the last four quarters, including the special dividend paid in December 2012, partially offset by twelve months of comprehensive earnings.

Cash Flows

The following table sets forth our cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities for the periods indicated:

		Three Months Ended March 31,
		2013			2012
		(in millions)
Cash used in operating activities	$	(296.3	)	$	(53.9	)
Cash provided by (used in) investing activities		7.1			(10.5	)
Cash used in financing activities		(129.9	)		(103.1	)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents		(10.6	)		23.4
Decrease in cash and cash equivalents	$	(429.7	)	$	(144.1	)

Our cash flows from operating activities are largely a reflection of the size and composition of trading positions held by our market making subsidiaries and of the changes in customer cash and margin debit balances in our electronic brokerage business. Our cash flows from investing activities are primarily related to capitalized internal software development, purchases and sales of memberships at exchanges where we trade and strategic investments in exchanges where such investments will enable us to offer better execution alternatives to our current and prospective customers, or create new opportunities for ourselves as market makers or where we can influence exchanges to provide competing products at better prices using sophisticated technology. Our cash flows from financing

activities are comprised of short-term borrowings, long-term borrowings and capital transactions. Short-term borrowings from banks are part of our daily cash management in support of operating activities. Other borrowings provide us with flexible sources of excess liquidity and regulatory capital, including a committed three-year $100.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility from a syndicate of banks. Capital transactions consist primarily of quarterly cash dividends paid to common stockholders, which commenced during the second quarter of 2011 and cash distributions paid to IBG Holdings LLC ("Holdings").

Three months ended March 31, 2013: Our cash and cash equivalents decreased by $429.7 million to $1,184.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. We used $296.3 million in net cash in operating activities. We used net cash of $122.8 million in our investing and financing activities primarily due to a decrease in short-term borrowings and dividends paid to IBG Holdings LLC and to common stockholders.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 : Our cash and cash equivalents decreased by $144.1 million to $1,551.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. We used $53.9 million from net cash in operating activities. We used net cash of $113.6 million in our investing and financing activities primarily due to a decrease in senior notes outstanding and dividends paid to Holdings and to common stockholders.

Regulatory Capital Requirements

Our principal operating subsidiaries are subject to separate regulation and capital requirements in the United States and other jurisdictions. Timber Hill LLC and Interactive Brokers LLC are registered U.S. broker-dealers and futures commission merchants, and their primary regulators include the SEC, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the Chicago Board Options Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and the National Futures Association. Timber Hill Europe AG is registered to do business in Switzerland as a securities dealer and is regulated by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority. Interactive Brokers (U.K.) Limited is subject to regulation by the U.K. Financial Services Authority. Our various other operating subsidiaries are similarly regulated.

At March 31, 2013, aggregate excess regulatory capital for all of the Operating Companies was $2.46 billion. The following table summarizes capital, capital requirements and excess regulatory capital (millions):

		Net Capital/ Eligible Equity		Requirement		Excess
IB LLC	$	1,685.9	$	256.7	$	1,429.2
TH LLC		290.3		51.3		239.0
THE		623.5		189.7		433.8
Other regulated Operating Companies		377.9		25.4		353.5
	$	2,978.6	$	523.1	$	2,455.5

At March 31, 2013, all of the Operating Companies were in compliance with their respective regulatory capital requirements.

For additional information regarding our net capital requirements see note 14 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I , Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Principal Indebtedness

IBG LLC is the borrower under a $100.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, which had no balance outstanding as of March 31, 2012.

Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility

On May 17, 2012, IBG LLC entered into a $100 million three-year senior secured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks. This credit facility replaced a similar two-year facility that expired on May 17, 2012. IBG LLC is the sole borrower under this credit facility. The facility’s interest rate is indexed to the British Bankers Association LIBOR rate or the overnight federal funds rate for the relevant term, at the borrower’s option, and is secured by a first priority interest in all of the capital stock of each entity owned directly by IBG LLC (subject to customary limitations with respect to foreign subsidiaries). The facility may be used to finance working capital needs and general corporate purposes, including downstreaming funds to LLC’s regulated broker-dealer subsidiaries as regulatory capital. This allows IBG LLC to take advantage of market opportunities when they arise, while maintaining substantial excess regulatory capital. The financial covenants contained in this credit facility are as follows:

minimum consolidated shareholders’ equity, as defined, of $3.6 billion, with quarterly increases equal to 25% of positive consolidated income;

· maximum total debt to capitalization ratio of 30%;

· minimum liquidity ratio of 1.0 to 1.0; and

· maximum total debt to net regulatory capital ratio of 35%.

At March 31, 2013, IBG LLC was in compliance with all of the covenants of this credit facility. At maturity, subject to meeting certain terms of the facility, the Company will have an option to convert the facility to a one-year term loan.

Senior Notes

Prior to January 2012, IBG LLC periodically issued senior notes in private placements to certain qualified customers of IB LLC. IBG LLC used the proceeds from sales of the senior notes to provide capital to IBG LLC’s broker-dealer subsidiaries in the form of subordinated loans and for other general purposes. Based on a review of its available liquidity resources, which resulted in a determination of a strong liquidity position, in January 2012 the Company decided to discontinue the Senior Notes Program.

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures are comprised of compensation costs of our software engineering staff for development of software for internal use and expenditures for computer, networking and communications hardware. These expenditure items are reported as property and equipment. Capital expenditures for property and equipment were approximately $3.7 million and $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We anticipate that our 2013 gross capital expenditures will be lower than in 2012 as we complete the expansion of our data center and backup facilities. In the future, we plan to meet capital expenditure needs as we continue our focus on technology infrastructure initiatives to further enhance our competitive position. We anticipate that we will fund capital expenditures with cash from operations and cash on hand. In response to changing economic conditions, we believe we have the flexibility to modify our capital expenditures by adjusting them (either upward or downward) to match our actual performance. If we pursue any strategic acquisitions, we may incur additional capital expenditures.

Seasonality

Our businesses are subject to seasonal fluctuations, reflecting varying numbers of market participants at times during the year and varying numbers of trading days from quarter-to-quarter, including declines in trading activity due to holidays. Typical seasonal trends may be superseded by market or world events, which can have a significant impact on prices and trading volume.

Inflation

Although we cannot accurately anticipate the effect of inflation on our operations, we believe that inflation has not had for the three most recent years, and is not likely in the foreseeable future to have, a material impact on our results of operations.

Strategic Investments and Acquisitions

We periodically engage in evaluations of potential strategic investments and acquisitions. The Company holds strategic investments in electronic trading exchanges including: Boston Options Exchange, LLC; OneChicago LLC and CBOE Stock Exchange, LLC. The Company has also made investments in Quadriserv Inc., an electronic securities lending platform provider and Factor Advisors, LLC, an Exchange Traded Funds (“ETF”) issuer.

We intend to continue making acquisitions on an opportunistic basis, generally only when the acquisition candidate will, in our opinion, enable us to acquire either technology or customers faster than we could develop them on our own. At March 31, 2013, there were no definitive agreements with respect to any material acquisition.

Certain Information Concerning Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements

IBG, Inc. may be exposed to a risk of loss not reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for futures products, which represent obligations of the Company to settle at contracted prices, which may require repurchase or sale in the market at prevailing prices. Accordingly, these transactions result in off-balance sheet risk as IBG, Inc.’s cost to liquidate such futures contracts may exceed the amounts reported in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.

Critical Accounting Policies

Valuation of Financial Instruments

Due to the nature of our operations, substantially all of our financial instrument assets, comprised of financial instruments owned, securities purchased under agreements to resell, securities borrowed and receivables from brokers, dealers and clearing organizations are carried at fair value based on published market prices and are marked to market daily, or are assets which are short-

term in nature and are reported at amounts approximating fair value. Similarly, all of our financial instrument liabilities that arise from financial instruments sold but not yet purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, securities loaned and payables to brokers, dealers and clearing organizations are short-term in nature and are reported at quoted market prices or at amounts approximating fair value. Our long and short positions are valued at either the last consolidated trade price or the last consolidated bid/offer mid-point (where applicable) at the close of regular trading hours, in their respective markets. Given that we manage a globally integrated market making portfolio, we have large and substantially offsetting positions in securities and commodities that trade on different exchanges that close at different times of the trading day. As a result, there may be large and anomalous swings in the value of our positions daily and, accordingly, in our earnings in any period. This is especially true on the last business day of each calendar quarter, although such swings tend to come back into equilibrium on the first business day of the succeeding calendar quarter.

Principles of Consolidation, including Noncontrolling Interests

We are the sole managing member of IBG LLC and, as such, operate and control all of the business and affairs of IBG LLC and its subsidiaries and consolidate IBG LLC’s financial results into our financial statements. We hold approximately 11.9% ownership interest in IBG LLC. Holdings is owned by the original members of IBG LLC and holds approximately 88.1% ownership interest in IBG LLC. Our share of IBG LLC’s net income, excluding Holdings’ noncontrolling interest, is approximately 11.9% and similarly, outstanding shares of our common stock represent approximately 11.9% of the outstanding membership interests of IBG LLC.

Prior to the June 6, 2012 amendment to the Exchange Agreement (see Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements), the Company was required to report Holdings’ ownership as redeemable noncontrolling interests (i.e., temporary equity) pursuant to ASC 810-10-45, ASC 815-40-25 and ASC 480-10-S99-3A (formerly FASB Emerging Issues Task Force Topic D-98), outside of total equity in the consolidated financial statements. Redemption value of these redeemable noncontrolling interests was measured as the number of equivalent shares of member interests in IBG LLC owned by Holdings multiplied by the then current market price per share of the Company’s common stock. The excess of the redemption value over the book value of these interests, which did not affect net income attributable to common stockholders or cash flows, was required to be accounted for as a reduction of the Company’s stockholders’ equity in the consolidated statement of financial condition.

For periods after the Amendment, the noncontrolling interests in IBG LLC attributable to Holdings will be reported as a component of total equity.

Earnings per Share

For periods prior to June 6, 2012, the Company has determined to reflect Topic D-98 measurement adjustments for non-fair value redemption rights through application of the two-class method of calculating earnings per share in lieu of recognizing the impact through the determination of net income attributable to common shareholders. Furthermore, in accordance with footnote 17 of ASC 480-10-S99-3A, the Company has elected to treat only the portion of the periodic measurement adjustments that reflect a redemption in excess of fair value as being akin to a dividend, reducing net income attributable to common stockholders for purposes of applying the two-class method. Decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable noncontrolling interests through Topic D-98 measurement adjustments are reflected in the application of the two-class method only to the extent they represent recoveries of amounts previously accounted for by applying the two-class method.

Stock-Based Compensation

IBG, Inc. follows ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, to account for its stock-based compensation plans. ASC 718 requires all share-based payments to employees to be recognized in the financial statements using a fair value-based method. As a result, IBG, Inc. expenses the fair value of awards granted to employees, generally 50% in the year of grant in recognition of plan forfeiture provisions (described below) and the remaining 50% over the related vesting period utilizing the “graded vesting” method permitted under ASC 718-10. In the case of “retirement eligible” employees (those employees older than 59), 100% of awards are expensed when granted.

Contingencies

Our policy is to estimate and accrue for potential losses that may arise out of litigation and regulatory proceedings, to the extent that such losses are probable and can be estimated, in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies . Potential losses that might arise out of tax audits, to the extent that such losses are “more likely than not,” would be estimated and accrued in accordance with ASC 740-10. Significant judgment is required in making these estimates and our final liabilities may ultimately be materially different. Our total liability accrued with respect to litigation and regulatory proceedings is determined on a case-by-case basis and represents an estimate of probable losses based on, among other factors, the progress of each case, our experience with and industry experience with similar cases and the opinions and views of internal and external legal counsel. Given the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of our litigation and regulatory matters, particularly in cases or proceedings in which substantial or indeterminate damages or fines are sought, or where cases or proceedings are in the early stages, we cannot estimate losses or ranges of losses for cases or proceedings where there is only a reasonable possibility that a loss may be incurred.

We have been from time to time subject to certain pending and legal actions which arise out of the normal course of business. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, particularly in proceedings where claimants seek substantial or indeterminate damages, or which are in their early stages. We cannot predict with certainty the actual loss or range of loss related to such legal proceedings, the manner in which they will be resolved, the timing of final resolution or the ultimate settlement. Consequently, we cannot estimate losses or ranges of losses related to such legal matters, even in instances where it is reasonably possible that a future loss will be incurred. As of March 31, 2013, we, along with certain of our subsidiaries, have been named parties to legal actions, which we and/or such subsidiaries intend to defend vigorously. Although the results of legal actions cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the opinion of management that the resolution of these actions is not expected to have a material adverse effect, if any, on our business or financial condition, but may have a material impact on the results of operations for a given period. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, reserves provided for potential losses related to litigation matters were not material.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment and available information. Therefore, actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Such estimates include the estimated fair values of IBG LLC and the Company in connection with accounting for redeemable noncontrolling interests, value of investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting, the estimated useful lives of property and equipment, including capitalized internally developed software, the allowance for doubtful accounts, compensation accruals, current and deferred income taxes and estimated contingency reserves.

Income Taxes

IBG, Inc. accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. The Company’s income tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and reserves for unrecognized tax benefits are based on enacted tax laws and reflect management’s best assessment of estimated future taxes to be paid. We are subject to income taxes in both the United States and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Determining income tax expense requires significant judgments and estimates.

differences, and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax-planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates we are using to manage the underlying businesses. In evaluating the objective evidence that historical results provide, we consider three years of cumulative operating income (loss). Deferred income taxes have not been provided for U.S. tax liabilities or for additional foreign taxes on the unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries that have been indefinitely reinvested.

The calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations in a multitude of jurisdictions across our global operations. Changes in tax laws and rates could also affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities in the future. Management is not aware of any such changes that would have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows, or financial position.

The Company records tax liabilities in accordance with ASC 740 and adjusts these liabilities when management’s judgment changes as a result of the evaluation of new information not previously available. Because of the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from our current estimate of the tax liabilities. These differences will be reflected as increases or decreases to income tax expense in the period in which new information is available.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Subsequent to the adoption of the ASC, the FASB will issue Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) as the means to add to or delete from, or otherwise amend the ASC. In 2013, prior to the issuance of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, ASUs 2013-01 through ASU 2013-07 were issued. Following is a summary of recently issued ASUs that have affected or may affect the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements:

	Affects	Status
ASU 2011-11	Balance Sheet (Topic 210) : Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities	Effective for fiscal periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Retrospective disclosures for comparative periods presented will be required.

ASU 2013-01	Balance Sheet (Topic 210) : Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities	Effective for fiscal periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 (the same as the effective date of ASU 2011-11).

ASU 2013-02	Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) : Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income	Effective for fiscal periods beginning on or after December 15, 2012.

ASU 2013-04	Liabilities (Topic 405) : Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date	Effective prospectively for fiscal periods beginning on or after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted.

ASU 2013-05	Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830) : Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity	Effective for fiscal periods beginning on or after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted.

ASC/IFRS Convergence

In June 2012 the FASB and IASB issued a joint statement on their continuing deliberations regarding changes to lease accounting. When issued, new lease accounting standards under the ASC and IFRS will require the reporting of lease assets and related liabilities on issuers’ statements of financial condition under a mutually agreed upon two-method approach. Exposure Drafts detailing applicability and implementation considerations are expected to be issued during the second half of 2012, and final standards are expected to be issued in 2013. Management will be assessing the potential effects of this change in lease accounting as the standard setting process moves forward. Based on the scope of existing lease commitments (approximately 0.1% of total assets as of March 31, 2013), the effect on the Company’s financial statements is not expected to be material.

SEC Derivatives Regulation Roadmap

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to various market risks. Our exposures to market risks arise from assumptions built into our pricing models, equity price risk, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations related to our international operations, changes in interest rates which impact our variable-rate debt obligations, and risks relating to the extension of margin credit to our customers.

Pricing Model Exposure

Our strategy as a market maker is to calculate quotes a few seconds ahead of the market and execute small trades at tiny but favorable differentials as a result. Our proprietary pricing model continuously evaluates and monitors the risks inherent in our portfolio, assimilates market data and reevaluates the outstanding quotes in our entire portfolio each second. Certain aspects of the model rely on historical prices of securities. If the behavior of price movements of individual securities diverges substantially from what their historical behavior would predict, we might incur trading losses. We attempt to limit such risks by diversifying our portfolio across many different options, futures and underlying securities and avoiding concentrations of positions based on the same underlying security. Historically, our losses from these events have been immaterial in comparison to our annual trading profits.

Foreign Currency Exposure

As a result of our international market making activities and accumulated earnings in our foreign subsidiaries, our income and net worth is exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. Our European operations and some of our Asian operations are conducted

by our Swiss subsidiary, THE. THE is regulated by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority as a securities dealer and its financial statements are presented in Swiss francs. Accordingly, THE is exposed to certain foreign exchange risks as described below:

THE buys and sells futures contracts and securities denominated in various currencies and carries bank balances and borrows and lends such currencies in its regular course of business. At the end of each accounting period THE’s assets and liabilities are translated into Swiss francs for presentation in its financial statements. The resulting gains or losses are reported as translation gain or loss in THE’s income statement. When we prepare our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, THE’s Swiss franc balances are translated into U.S. dollars for U.S. GAAP purposes. THE’s translation gains or losses appear as such on IBG, Inc.’s unaudited condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, included in trading gains.

THE’s net worth is carried on THE’s books in Swiss francs in accordance with Swiss accounting standards. At the end of each accounting period, THE’s net worth is translated at the then prevailing exchange rate into U.S. dollars and the resulting gain or loss is reported as OCI in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of financial condition and unaudited condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income. To a smaller extent, OCI is also produced by our other non-U.S. subsidiaries.

Historically, we have taken the approach of not hedging the above exposures, based on the notion that the cost of constantly hedging over the years would amount to more than the random impact of rate changes on our non-U.S. dollar balances. For instance, an increase in the value of the Swiss franc would be unfavorable to the earnings of THE but would be counterbalanced to some extent by the fact that the yearly translation gain or loss into U.S. dollars is likely to move in the opposite direction.

Since 2005, we have expanded our market making systems to incorporate cash forex and forex options to hedge our currency exposure at little or no cost and to hedge our currency exposure throughout the day on a continuous basis. In connection with the development of our currency strategy, we determined to base our net worth in GLOBALs, a basket of currencies. Periodically, we re-evaluate the composition of the GLOBAL; in 2011 we expanded the composition of the GLOBAL from six to 16 currencies. The table below shows a comparison of the U.S. dollar equivalent of the GLOBAL as of March 31, 2012 and 2013.

Because we conduct business in many countries and many currencies and we actively manage our global currency exposure by maintaining our equity in GLOBALs, we consider ourselves a global enterprise based in a diversified basket of currencies rather than a U.S. dollar based company. The U.S. dollar value of the GLOBAL decreased from $1.113 to $1.079, or 3%, at March 31, 2013 compared to March 31, 2012. At March 31, 2013 approximately 62% of our equity was denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars.

The effects of our currency strategy appear in two places in the financial statements: (1) as a component of trading gains in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income and (2) as OCI in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of financial condition. The full effect of the GLOBAL is captured in comprehensive income.

Reported results on a comprehensive basis reflect the U.S. GAAP convention adopted in 2011 that requires the reporting of currency translation results contained in OCI as part of reportable earnings. Previously, currency translation results were reported only as a component of changes in Total Equity in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of financial condition.

Interest Rate Risk

Under our senior secured revolving credit facility, we have the ability to choose borrowing tenors from overnight to twelve months, which permits us to minimize the risk of interest rate fluctuations. We have no borrowings outstanding under this facility as of March 31, 2013.

We pay our electronic brokerage customers interest based on benchmark overnight interest rates in various currencies. In a higher interest rate environment, exhibiting a positive yield curve, we typically invest a portion of these funds in U.S. government treasury securities with maturities of up to three months. Under these circumstances, if interest rates were to increase rapidly and substantially, in increments that were not reflected in the yields on these treasury securities, our net interest income from customer deposits would decrease. Based upon investments outstanding at March 31, 2013, we had minimal exposure of this nature.

We also face the potential for reduced net interest income from customer deposits due to interest rate spread compression in a low rate environment. Due to a currently low rate environment, a decrease of the U.S. benchmark interest rates by 0.05% would reduce our net interest income by approximately $10.3 million on an annualized basis.

We also face substantial interest rate risk due to positions carried in our market making business to the extent that long or short stock positions may have been established for future or forward dates on options or futures contracts and the value of such positions are impacted by interest rates. We hedge such risks by entering into interest rate futures contracts. To the extent that these futures positions do not perfectly hedge this interest rate risk, our trading gains may be adversely affected. The amount of such risk cannot be quantified.

Dividend Risk

We face dividend risk in our market making business as we derive significant revenues and incur significant expenses in the form of dividend income and expense, respectively, from our substantial inventory of equity securities, and must make significant payments in lieu of dividends on short positions in securities in our portfolio. Projected future dividends are an important component of pricing equity options and other derivatives, and incorrect projections may lead to trading losses. The amount of these risks cannot be quantified.

Margin Credit

We extend margin credit to our customers, subject to various regulatory requirements. Margin credit is collateralized by cash and securities in the customers’ accounts. The risks associated with margin credit increase during periods of fast market movements or in cases where collateral is concentrated and market movements occur. During such times, customers who utilize margin credit and who have collateralized their obligations with securities may find that the securities have a rapidly depreciating value and may not be sufficient to cover their obligations in the event of a liquidation. We are also exposed to credit risk when our customers execute transactions, such as short sales of options and equities that can expose them to risk beyond their invested capital.

We expect this kind of exposure to increase with growth in our overall business. Because we indemnify and hold harmless our clearing firms from certain liabilities or claims, the use of margin credit and short sales may expose us to significant off-balance-sheet risk in the event that collateral collected from customers is not sufficient to fully cover losses that those customers may incur and if those customers fail to satisfy their obligations. As of March 31, 2013, we had $11.14 billion in margin credit extended to our customers, excluding non-customers. The amount of risk to which we are exposed from the margin credit we extend to our customers and from short sale transactions by our customers is theoretically unlimited and not quantifiable as the risk is dependent upon analysis of a potential significant and undeterminable rise or fall in securities prices. Our account level margin credit requirements meet or exceed those required by Regulation T of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve or the SEC portfolio margining regulations, as appropriate. As a matter of practice, we enforce real-time margin compliance monitoring and liquidate customers’ positions if their equity falls below required margin requirements.

We have a comprehensive policy implemented in accordance with regulatory standards to assess and monitor the suitability of investors to engage in various trading activities. To mitigate our risk, we also continuously monitor customer accounts to detect excessive concentration, large orders or positions, patterns of day trading and other activities that indicate increased risk to us.

Our credit exposure is to a great extent mitigated by our policy of automatically evaluating each account throughout the trading day and closing out positions automatically for accounts that are found to be under-margined. While this methodology is effective in most situations, it may not be effective in situations where no liquid market exists for the relevant securities or commodities or where, for any reason, automatic liquidation for certain accounts has been disabled.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As reported in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as of December 31, 2012. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2012 due to a material weakness that exists within the Company’s internal control over financial reporting related to the review and interpretation of complex accounting issues. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

In response to the material weakness described above, the Company has made significant progress toward implementing its Remediation Plan described in its 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Actions taken under the Remediation Plan include:

Formation of the nine-member Accounting Policy Committee (“APC”) in September 2012. The APC is responsible to the Company's Audit Committee and, through recurring quarterly procedures has been assessing significant transactions and official accounting guidance applied to the Company’s financial statements and reporting on such assessments to the Audit Committee;

·	Changes in procedures and controls over the preparation of its consolidated financial statements; and

·	Performance of additional detailed procedures and analysis and other post-closing procedures performed during the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Notwithstanding that the Remediation Plan has not been fully implemented, our management has concluded that the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of March 31, 2013 and for the three months then ended in all material respects, in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Changes to Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting other than those described above for the three months ended March 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There have been no material changes to the legal proceedings disclosed under Part 1, Item 3 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 8, 2013. During our normal course of business, the Company’s regulated operating companies are in discussions with regulators about matters raised during regulatory examinations or otherwise subject to their inquiry. These matters could result in censures, fines or other sanctions. Management believes the outcome of any resulting actions will not be material to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of these matters.

The Company believes, based on current knowledge and after consultation with counsel, that the outcome of the pending matters will not have a material adverse effect on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial condition of the Company. Legal reserves have been established in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies . The ultimate resolution may differ from the amounts reserved.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in under Part 1, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 8, 2013.
