COHEN & STEERS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

1. Organization and Description of Business

Cohen & Steers, Inc. (“CNS”) was organized as a Delaware corporation on March 17, 2004. CNS was formed to be the holding company for Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc. (“CSCM”), a New York corporation, and to allow for the issuance of common stock to the public.

The condensed consolidated financial statements set forth herein include the accounts of CNS and its direct and indirect subsidiaries. CNS’s wholly-owned subsidiaries are CSCM, Cohen & Steers Securities, LLC (“Securities”), Cohen & Steers Asia Limited, Cohen & Steers UK Limited and Cohen & Steers Europe S.A. (collectively, the “Company”). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Through CSCM, a registered investment advisor under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”), the Company provides investment management services to individual and institutional investors through a broad range of investment vehicles. The Company manages portfolios specializing in U.S. and international real estate securities, large cap value stocks, listed infrastructure and utilities, and preferred securities. The Company also manages alternative investment strategies such as hedged real estate securities portfolios and private real estate multimanager strategies for qualified investors. Its clients include Company-sponsored open-end and closed-end mutual funds, U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans, endowment funds, foundations and sub-advised funds for other financial institutions. Through Securities, its registered broker/dealer, the Company provides distribution services for certain of its funds.

2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company included herein are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim results have been made. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Accounting Estimates—The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Management believes the estimates used in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable and prudent. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications—Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The amounts related to these reclassifications are not material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Consolidation—The Company consolidates operating entities deemed to be voting interest entities if the Company owns a majority of the voting interest. The equity method of accounting is used for investments in non-controlled affiliates in which the Company’s ownership ranges from 20 to 50 percent, or in instances in which the Company is able to exercise significant influence but not control. The Company also consolidates any variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company provides for noncontrolling interests in consolidated subsidiaries for which the Company’s ownership is less than 100 percent.

A VIE is an entity in which either (a) the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its own activities without additional financial support or (b) the group of holders of the equity investment at risk lack certain characteristics of a controlling financial interest. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has the obligation to absorb a majority of the expected losses or the right to receive the majority of the residual returns. The Company evaluates whether entities in which it has an interest are VIEs and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of any VIEs identified in its analysis. See Note 4 for further discussion about the Company’s investments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents—Cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid investments, which are readily

COHEN & STEERS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(UNAUDITED)

convertible into cash and have original maturities of three months or less.

Investments—Management of the Company determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such determination at each statement of financial condition date.

Securities owned and securities sold but not yet purchased are classified as trading securities and are measured at fair value based on quoted market prices; market prices obtained from independent pricing services engaged by management; or as determined by the Company’s fair value committee. Unrealized gains and losses are recorded as gain (loss) from trading securities reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Investments classified as equity investments are accounted for using the equity method, under which the Company recognizes its respective share of the investee’s net income for the period. The carrying amounts of these investments approximate their fair value.

Investments classified as available-for-sale are comprised of equity securities, investment-grade preferred instruments and investments in Company-sponsored open-end and closed-end mutual funds. These investments are carried at fair value based on quoted market prices or market prices obtained from independent pricing services engaged by management, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company periodically reviews each individual security position that has an unrealized loss, or impairment, to determine if that impairment is other than temporary. If the Company believes an impairment of a security position is other than temporary, the loss will be recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets—Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the Company’s investment in the net assets of an acquired company over the fair value of the underlying identifiable net assets at the date of acquisition. Goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are not amortized but are tested at least annually for impairment by comparing the fair value to their carrying amounts. Finite lived intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives. See Note 3 for further discussion about the Company’s goodwill and intangible assets.

Investment Advisory and Administration Fees—The Company earns revenue by providing asset management services to institutional accounts and to Company-sponsored open-end and closed-end mutual funds. This revenue is earned pursuant to the terms of the underlying advisory contract, and is based on a contractual investment advisory fee applied to the assets in the client’s portfolio, net of applicable waivers. The Company also earns revenue from administration fees paid by certain Company-sponsored open-end and closed-end mutual funds, based on the average assets under management of such funds. This revenue is recognized as such fees are earned.

Distribution and Service Fees—Distribution and service fee revenue is earned as the services are performed, based on contractually-predetermined percentages of the average assets under management of the open-end load mutual funds. Distribution and service fee revenue is recorded gross of any third-party distribution and service fee expense arrangements. The expenses associated with these third-party distribution and service fee arrangements are recorded as incurred.

Stock-based Compensation—The Company recognizes compensation expense for the grant-date fair value of awards of equity instruments granted to employees. This expense is recognized over the period during which employees are required to provide service. The Company also estimates forfeitures.

Income Taxes—The Company records the current and deferred tax consequences of all transactions that have been recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the provisions of the enacted tax laws. Deferred tax assets are recognized for temporary differences that will result in deductible amounts in future years. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for temporary differences that will result in taxable income in future years. The Company records a valuation allowance, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that more likely than not will be realized. The effective tax rate for interim periods represents the Company’s best estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applied to the full fiscal year.

Currency Translation and Transactions—Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries having non-U.S. dollar functional currencies are translated at exchange rates at the applicable condensed consolidated statement of financial condition date.

COHEN & STEERS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(UNAUDITED)

Revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates during the period. The gains or losses resulting from translating non-U.S. dollar functional currency into U.S. dollars are included in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity. Gains or losses resulting from non-U.S. dollar currency transactions are included in other non-operating income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements—In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance to simplify how entities test goodwill for impairment. The new guidance permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the second step to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. This new guidance is effective for the Company's first quarter of 2012. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this new guidance to have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued new guidance eliminating the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The new guidance requires changes to the components of net income and comprehensive income in stockholders' equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In the two-statement approach, the first statement should present total net income and its components followed consecutively by a second statement that should present total other comprehensive income, the components of other comprehensive income, and the total of comprehensive income. The new guidance should be applied retrospectively. This new guidance is effective for the Company's first quarter of 2012. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this new guidance to have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued new guidance regarding fair value measurement and disclosures. The new guidance results in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") and International Financial Reporting Requirements. This new guidance changed the wording used to describe many of the requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. This new guidance is effective for the Company's first quarter of 2012. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this new guidance to have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets of an acquired business. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, goodwill was approximately $20,337,000 and $20,334,000, respectively. The Company’s goodwill increased by $3,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as a result of foreign currency revaluation.

4. Investments

Trading

During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company launched Cohen & Steers Global Listed Infrastructure Fund (“GLIF”). The Company accounted for its investment in GLIF using the equity method of accounting until February 23, 2011 as the Company did not have a controlling financial interest, but had significant influence over the financial decisions of the fund. As of February 23, 2011, the Company owned over 50% of the voting interest in GLIF. Accordingly, the underlying assets and liabilities of GLIF have been included in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements with the third party interests classified as redeemable noncontrolling interest. As a result of consolidating GLIF, the Company recorded approximately $5,877,000 of securities owned as of September 30, 2011, which were comprised primarily of equities. For the

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(UNAUDITED)

nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recorded approximately $456,000 of net loss from trading securities from the consolidation of GLIF.

Equity investments

The offshore global real estate long-short fund (the “Offshore Fund”), launched by the Company in 2008, is structured as a partnership and the Company is the general partner and investment manager for which it receives a management fee and is entitled to receive a performance fee. The Company’s equity interest in the Offshore Fund represents a seed investment to launch the fund, adjusted for the Company’s proportionate share of the fund’s earnings. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had an equity investment of approximately $9,861,000 and $11,245,000 in the Offshore Fund, respectively. As the general partner of the Offshore Fund, the Company has significant influence over the fund's financial decisions and therefore accounts for its investment in the fund using the equity method of accounting. The Company’s risk with respect to its investment in the Offshore Fund is limited to its equity ownership and any uncollected management fees.

During 2008, the Company launched an onshore global real estate long-short fund (the “Onshore Fund”). Until January 31, 2010, the Company and certain of its employees owned 100% of the voting interest in the Onshore Fund. Accordingly, the assets, liabilities and the results of operations of the Onshore Fund were included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements with the third party interests classified as redeemable noncontrolling interest. As the redeemable noncontrolling interests were owned by certain employees of the Company, no management or performance fees were charged. Beginning February 1, 2010, the Company accounted for its investment in the Onshore Fund using the equity method of accounting as the Company no longer had a controlling financial interest, but, as the general partner, had significant influence over the fund's financial decisions. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had an equity investment of approximately $23,645,000 and $26,963,000 in the Onshore Fund, respectively.

The Company recorded a gain from trading securities of approximately $189,000 from the consolidation of the Onshore Fund for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recognized losses of approximately $5,248,000 and $4,635,000, respectively, under the equity method of accounting, which is included in equity in earnings of affiliates in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recognized gains of approximately $1,005,000 and $185,000, respectively, under the equity method of accounting.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company redeems, where it can, portions of its seed investments. On November 1, 2011, the Company redeemed $6,300,000 from the Onshore Fund and $2,500,000 from the Offshore Fund.

Available-for-sale

The following is a summary of the cost, gross unrealized gains, gross unrealized losses and fair value of investments, available-for-sale as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 (in thousands):

Total investments, available-for-sale	$	15,245	$	1,764	$	(55	)	$	16,954

Unrealized losses on investments, available-for-sale as of September 30, 2011 were generally caused by market conditions. When evaluating whether an unrealized loss on an investment, available-for-sale is other than temporary, the Company reviews such factors as extent and duration of the loss, deterioration in the issuer’s credit quality, reduction or cessation of dividend payments and overall financial strength of the issuer. As of September 30, 2011, the Company determined that it had the ability and intent to hold the remaining investments for which no other-than-temporary impairment has occurred until a recovery of fair value. Accordingly, impairment of these investments is considered temporary.

Sales proceeds, gross realized gains and losses from investments, available-for-sale for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 are summarized below (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,

Gross realized gains	259			2,385			1,139			6,629
Gross realized losses	(627		)	(230		)	(917		)	(683		)

Fair Value

The Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosures about instruments carried at fair value, but does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument should be carried at fair value.

ASC 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation classifications based on whether the inputs to the valuation techniques used in each valuation classification are observable or unobservable. These classifications are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:


•	Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.


•	Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.


•	Level 3—Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

Inputs used to measure fair value might fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, in which case the Company defaults to the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the investments. In determining the appropriate levels, the Company performed a detailed analysis of the assets and liabilities that are subject to ASC 820. The following table presents fair value measurements as of September 30, 2011 (in thousands):



	Level 1		Level 2		Total
Cash equivalents*	$	25,904	$	—	$	25,904

_________________________

* Cash equivalents were comprised of investments in money market funds which are included in cash and cash equivalents on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.

The following table presents fair value measurements as of December 31, 2010 (in thousands):



	Level 1		Level 2		Total
Cash equivalents*	$	84,197	$	—	$	84,197
Equity investments	$	5,771	$	38,208	$	43,979

* Cash equivalents were comprised of investments in money market funds which are included in cash and cash equivalents on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.

Equity investments classified as level 2 in the above tables represent the fair value measurement of equity investments in the Onshore Fund and the Offshore Fund, which are measured at fair value based on the funds' net asset value. The funds make long and short investments in listed real estate securities to maximize absolute and risk-adjusted returns with modest volatility. The Company has the ability to redeem the funds monthly at net asset value per share with prior written notice of 30 days and no significant restrictions to redemption.

Investments, available-for-sale classified as level 2 in the above tables were comprised primarily of auction rate preferred securities, which were measured at fair value based on the quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active.

5. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the total weighted average shares of common stock outstanding and common stock equivalents. Common

COHEN & STEERS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(UNAUDITED)

stock equivalents are comprised of dilutive potential shares from restricted stock unit awards. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the treasury stock method.

No anti-dilutive common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Anti-dilutive common stock equivalents of approximately 3,000 shares were excluded from the computation for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Anti-dilutive common stock equivalents of approximately 50,000 and 59,000 shares, respectively, were excluded from the computation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.

The following is a reconciliation of the income and share data used in the basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands, except per share data):



	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2011		2010		2011		2010
Net income	$	9,542	$	13,163	$	38,203	$	33,654

Net income attributable to common shareholders	$	9,606	$	13,163	$	38,260	$	33,646

Diluted weighted average shares outstanding	44,133		43,217		43,919		43,099
Basic earnings per share attributable to common shareholders	$	0.22	$	0.31	$	0.89	$	0.79
Diluted earnings per share attributable to common shareholders	$	0.22	$	0.30	$	0.87	$	0.78

6. Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 includes U.S. federal, state, local and foreign taxes at an approximate effective tax rate of 46% and 38%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2011 reflects the cumulative effect of the projected tax rate increase from 35% to 38% for the full year 2011 which resulted primarily from a valuation allowance established on projected losses from the Company's seed investments in the onshore and offshore global real estate long-short funds. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 was approximately 29%, which included discrete items, the most significant of which was attributable to the sale of previously impaired securities. Excluding the discrete items, the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 was approximately 34%. The Company expects the tax rate for the full year 2011 to approximate 38%, excluding discrete items.

Deferred income taxes represent the tax effects of the temporary differences between book and tax bases and are measured using enacted tax rates that will be in effect when such items are expected to reverse. The Company's net deferred tax asset is primarily comprised of future income tax deductions attributable to the delivery of unvested restricted stock units. The Company records a valuation allowance, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that more likely than not will be realized.

7. Regulatory Requirements

Securities, a registered broker/dealer in the U.S., is subject to the SEC’s Uniform Net Capital Rule 15c3-1 (the “Rule”), which requires that broker/dealers maintain a minimum level of net capital, as defined. As of September 30, 2011, Securities

COHEN & STEERS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(UNAUDITED)

had net capital of approximately $1,299,000, which exceeded its requirements by approximately $1,252,000. The Rule also provides that equity capital may not be withdrawn or cash dividends paid if the resulting net capital of a broker/dealer is less than the amount required under the Rule and requires prior notice to the SEC for certain withdrawals of capital.

Securities does not carry customer accounts and is exempt from the SEC’s Rule 15c3-3 pursuant to provisions (k)(1) of such rule.

The non-U.S. subsidiaries of the Company are regulated outside the U.S. by the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission, the United Kingdom Financial Securities Authority, and the Belgium Financial Services and Markets Authority (collectively, the “Foreign Regulated Entities”). As of September 30, 2011, the Foreign Regulated Entities had aggregate regulatory capital of approximately $48,670,000, which exceeded requirements by approximately $47,390,000.

8. Related Party Transactions

The Company is an investment advisor to, and has administrative agreements with, affiliated open-end and closed-end mutual funds for which certain employees are officers and/or directors. The following table sets forth the amount of revenue the Company earned from these affiliated funds for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands):

For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company had investment advisory agreements with certain affiliated closed-end mutual funds, pursuant to which the Company contractually waived approximately $381,000 and $863,000, respectively, of advisory fees it was otherwise entitled to receive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company waived approximately $1,462,000 and $2,439,000 of advisory fees, respectively. These investment advisory agreements contractually require the Company to waive a portion of the advisory fees the Company otherwise would charge for up to ten years from the respective fund's inception date. The board of directors of these mutual funds must approve the renewal of the advisory agreements each year, including any reduction in advisory fee waivers scheduled to take effect during that year. As of September 30, 2011, such scheduled reductions in advisory fee waivers were effective for two funds.

Sales proceeds, gross realized gains and dividend income from investments, available-for-sale in Company-sponsored mutual funds for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 are summarized below (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,

The Company has agreements with certain affiliated open-end and closed-end mutual funds to reimburse certain fund expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, expenses of approximately $1,779,000 and $1,383,000, respectively, were incurred by the Company pursuant to these agreements and are included in general and administrative expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, expenses of approximately $5,092,000 and $3,519,000,

COHEN & STEERS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

respectively, were incurred.

Included in accounts receivable at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are receivables due from Company-sponsored mutual funds of approximately $13,028,000 and $11,495,000, respectively.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, the Company is involved in legal matters relating to claims arising in the ordinary course of business. There are currently no such matters pending that the Company believes could have a material adverse effect on its business or financial condition.

The Company periodically commits to fund a portion of the equity in certain of its sponsored investment products. The Company has committed to co-invest 5%, up to $25 million, of the total capital raised in Cohen & Steers Global Realty Partners III ("GRP"), a global private equity multimanager fund that had an initial closing on October 4, 2011, and such co-investment will be invested in GRP for up to 12 years through the life of the fund. The ultimate co-investment amount and actual timing of the funding of this commitment is currently unknown, as the co-investment amount will be based on investor commitments to GRP through October 2012, and the drawdown of the Company's commitment is contingent on the timing of drawdowns by the underlying funds and co-investments in which GRP invests. This unfunded commitment was not recorded on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of financial condition as of September 30, 2011.

10. Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company's cash is principally on deposit with three major financial institutions. The Company is subject to credit risk should these financial institutions be unable to fulfill their obligations.

A third party institutional account client, for which the Company acts as subadvisor to certain foreign retail funds sponsored by this client, accounted for approximately $29,831,000 or 17 percent of the total revenue of the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

11. Subsequent Event

On November 3, 2011, CNS declared a quarterly cash dividend on its common stock in the amount of $0.15 per share. The dividend will be payable on December 28, 2011 to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 7, 2011.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Such information should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements together with the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company, included herein, are unaudited. When we use the terms “Cohen & Steers,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our,” we mean Cohen & Steers, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Revenue

Total revenue increased 33% to $61.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $46.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010. This increase was primarily attributable to higher investment advisory and administration fees resulting from higher average assets under management, which were due to net inflows, partially offset by market depreciation. Average assets under management in the three months ended September 30, 2011 were $42.9 billion compared with $29.0 billion in the three months ended September 30, 2010.

In the three months ended September 30, 2011, total investment advisory and administration revenue from institutional accounts increased 52% to $24.2 million from $15.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in institutional account revenue was attributable to higher average assets under management resulting from net inflows of $8.0 billion, primarily from subadvisory relationships into U.S. real estate strategies, partially offset by market depreciation of $1.6 billion during the prior twelve month period. Average assets under management for institutional accounts in the three months ended September 30, 2011 were $26.8 billion compared with $16.2 billion in the three months ended September 30, 2010.

In the three months ended September 30, 2011, total investment advisory and administration revenue from open-end mutual funds increased 31% to $20.3 million from $15.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in open-end mutual fund revenue was attributable to higher average assets under management resulting from net inflows of $1.5 billion, partially offset by market depreciation of $555 million during the prior twelve month period. Average assets under management for open-end mutual funds in the three months ended September 30, 2011 were $9.6 billion compared with $7.0 billion in the three months ended September 30, 2010.

In the three months ended September 30, 2011, total investment advisory and administration revenue from closed-end mutual funds increased 18% to $13.5 million from $11.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in closed-end mutual fund revenue was attributable to higher average assets under management resulting from net inflows of $392 million, primarily due to the launch of PSF during the fourth quarter of 2010, partially offset by market depreciation of $316 million during the prior twelve month period. Average assets under management for closed-end mutual funds in the three months ended September 30, 2011 were $6.5 billion compared with $5.7 billion in the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Expenses

Total operating expenses increased 21% to $39.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $32.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010, primarily due to increases in employee compensation and benefits, distribution and service fees and general and administrative expenses.

Employee compensation and benefits increased 21% to $21.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $18.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010. This increase was primarily due to higher incentive bonus and production compensation, net of deferrals, of approximately $2.3 million, higher salaries of approximately $939,000 and higher amortization of restricted stock units of approximately $501,000.

Distribution and service fee expenses increased 23% to $6.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $5.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010. This increase was primarily due to higher average assets under management in certain of our open-end no-load mutual funds.

General and administrative expenses increased 19% to $9.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $7.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010. This increase was primarily due to higher professional fees, which included product development costs, of approximately $753,000, higher travel and entertainment of approximately $286,000 due to higher levels of business activities and higher information technology costs of approximately $162,000 resulting from upgrades made to our infrastructure, including application development.

Non-operating Income

Non-operating loss was $4.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared with non-operating income of $4.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease was primarily attributable to losses in equity investments in our sponsored onshore and offshore global real estate long-short funds and a gain of approximately $2.2 million due to recoveries on the sale of previously impaired securities during the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Income Taxes

We recorded an income tax expense of $8.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared with $5.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010. The provision for income taxes in the three months ended September 30, 2011 included U.S. federal, state, local and foreign taxes at an approximate effective tax rate of 46%. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2011 reflects the cumulative effect of the projected tax rate increase from 35% to 38% for the full year 2011 which resulted primarily from a valuation allowance established on projected losses from our seed investments in our sponsored onshore and offshore global real estate long-short funds. The effective tax rate of 29% in the three months ended September 30, 2010 included discrete items, the most significant of which was attributable to the sale of previously impaired securities. Excluding the discrete items, the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was approximately 34%. We expect our tax rate for the full year 2011 to approximate 38%, excluding discrete items.

Revenue

Total revenue increased 35% to $177.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $131.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This increase was primarily attributable to higher investment advisory and administration fees resulting from higher average assets under management, which were due to net inflows, partially offset by market depreciation. Average assets under management in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $40.0 billion compared with $27.0 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2011, total investment advisory and administration revenue from institutional accounts increased 50% to $66.5 million from $44.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in institutional account revenue was attributable to higher levels of average assets under management resulting from net inflows of $8.0 billion, primarily from subadvisory relationships into U.S. real estate strategies, partially offset by market depreciation of $1.6 billion during the prior twelve month period. Average assets under management for institutional accounts in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $23.9 billion compared with $14.7 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2011, total investment advisory and administration revenue from open-end mutual funds increased 35% to $59.3 million from $43.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in open-end mutual fund revenue was attributable to higher levels of average assets under management resulting from net inflows of $1.5 billion, partially offset by market depreciation of $555 million during the prior twelve month period. Average assets under management for open-end mutual funds in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $9.4 billion compared with $6.6 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2011, total investment advisory and administration revenue from closed-end mutual funds increased 21% to $40.9 million from $33.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in closed-end mutual fund revenue was attributable to higher levels of average assets under management resulting from net inflows of $392 million, primarily due to the launch of PSF during the fourth quarter of 2010, partially offset by market depreciation of $316 million during the prior twelve month period. Average assets under management for closed-end mutual funds in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $6.6 billion compared with $5.6 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Expenses

Total operating expenses increased 23% to $113.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $92.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, primarily due to increases in employee compensation and benefits, distribution and service fees and general and administrative expenses.

Employee compensation and benefits increased 24% to $63.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $51.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This increase was primarily due to higher incentive bonus and production compensation, net of deferrals, of approximately $7.3 million, higher salaries of approximately $3.2 million and higher amortization of restricted stock units of approximately $1.6 million.

Distribution and service fee expenses increased 27% to $18.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $14.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This increase was primarily due to higher average assets under management in certain of our open-end no-load mutual funds.

General and administrative expenses increased 19% to $26.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $22.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This increase was primarily due to higher professional fees, which included product development costs, of approximately $2.1 million, higher information technology costs of approximately $845,000 resulting from upgrades made to our infrastructure, including application development, higher travel and entertainment of approximately $604,000 due to higher levels of business activities and higher marketing expenses of approximately $291,000.

Non-operating Income

Non-operating loss was $2.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared with non-operating income of $7.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease was primarily attributable to losses in equity investments in our sponsored onshore and offshore global real estate long-short funds and a gain of approximately $5.3 million due to recoveries on the sale of previously impaired securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Income Taxes

We recorded an income tax expense of $23.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared with $13.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The provision for income taxes in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 included U.S. federal, state, local and foreign taxes at an approximate effective tax rate of 38%. The effective tax rate of 29% in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 included discrete items, the most significant of which was attributable to the sale of previously impaired securities. Excluding these discrete items, the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was approximately 34%. We expect our tax rate for the full year 2011 to approximate 38%, excluding discrete items.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our investment advisory business does not require us to maintain significant capital balances. Our current financial condition is highly liquid, with a significant amount of our assets comprised of cash and cash equivalents, equity investments, investments, available-for-sale and accounts receivable. Our cash flows generally result from the operating activities of our business, with investment advisory and administrative fees being the most significant contributor. Cash and cash equivalents, equity investments, investments, available-for-sale and accounts receivable were 79% and 83% of total assets as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Included in equity investments and investments, available-for-sale were approximately $33.5 million of equity investments in our global real estate long-short funds and $4.2 million of primarily auction rate preferred securities, respectively, which were classified as level 2 investments in accordance with the Accounting Standard Codification (the “Codification”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“Topic 820”), at September 30, 2011. Included in equity investments and investments, available-for-sale at December 31, 2010 were approximately $38.2 million of equity investments in our global real estate long-short funds and $4.9 million of auction rate preferred securities, respectively, which were classified as level 2 investments in accordance with Topic 820. See Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements relating to investments.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $41.7 million, excluding the effect of foreign exchange rate changes, in the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Net cash provided by operating activities was $43.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Net cash of $14.3 million was used in investing activities, primarily from purchases of $32.9 million of investments, available-for-sale and purchases of $2.2 million of property and equipment, partially offset by proceeds from sales of investments, available-for-sale in the amount of $20.8 million. Net cash of $71.1 million was used in financing activities, primarily for dividends paid to stockholders of $62.6 million, which included a special dividend of approximately $43.2 million paid on September 28, 2011, repurchases of common stock of $6.6 million to satisfy employee withholding tax obligations on the delivery of restricted stock units, and redemption of redeemable noncontrolling interest of 3.7 million, partially offset by excess tax benefits associated with the delivery of restricted stock units of $1.5 million.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $52.2 million, excluding the effect of foreign exchange rate changes, in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Net cash provided by operating activities was $27.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Net cash of $19.5 million was provided by investing activities, primarily from proceeds from sales of investments, available-for-sale in the amount of $36.5 million, partially offset by purchases of $15.1 million of investments, available-for-sale and purchases of $1.7 million of property and equipment. Net cash of $98.8 million was used in financing activities, primarily for dividends paid to stockholders of $98.1 million, which included a special dividend of

approximately $85.3 million paid on September 27, 2010, and repurchases of common stock of $3.4 million to satisfy employee withholding tax obligations on the delivery of restricted stock units, partially offset by contributions from redeemable noncontrolling interest of $2.0 million.

It is our policy to continuously monitor and evaluate the adequacy of our capital. We have consistently maintained net capital in excess of the regulatory requirements for our broker/dealer, as prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). At September 30, 2011, we exceeded our minimum regulatory capital requirements by approximately $1.3 million. The SEC’s Uniform Net Capital Rule 15c3-1 imposes certain requirements that may have the effect of prohibiting a broker/dealer from distributing or withdrawing capital and requiring prior notice to the SEC for certain withdrawals of capital. Our non-U.S. subsidiaries are regulated outside the U.S. by the Hong Kong Securities and Future Commission, the United Kingdom Financial Securities Authority, and the Belgium Financial Services and Markets Authority. At September 30, 2011, our non-U.S. subsidiaries exceeded their aggregate minimum regulatory requirements by approximately $47.4 million. We believe that our cash flows from operations will be more than adequate to meet our anticipated capital requirements and other obligations as they become due.

Included in cash and cash equivalents and investments, available-for-sale were approximately $62.4 million held by our foreign subsidiaries as of September 30, 2011. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents and short term investments held in the U.S. are more than sufficient to cover our working capital needs. It is our current intention to permanently reinvest these funds outside of the U.S.

We periodically commit to fund a portion of the equity in certain of our sponsored investment products. We committed to co-invest 5%, up to $25 million, of the total capital raised in Cohen & Steers Global Realty Partners III ("GRP"), a global private equity multimanager fund that had an initial closing on October 4, 2011, and such co-investment will be invested in GRP for up to 12 years through the life of the fund. The ultimate co-investment amount and actual timing of the funding of this commitment is currently unknown, as the co-investment amount will be based on investor commitments to GRP through October 2012, and the drawdown of our commitment is contingent on the timing of drawdowns by the underlying funds and co-investments in which GRP invests. This unfunded commitment was not recorded on our condensed consolidated statements of financial condition as of September 30, 2011.

Contractual Obligations and Contingencies

We have contractual obligations to make future payments in connection with our non-cancelable operating lease agreements for office space. There were no material capital lease obligations as of September 30, 2011. The following summarizes our contractual obligations as of September 30, 2011 (in thousands):

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not invest in any off-balance sheet vehicles that provide liquidity, capital resources, market or credit risk support, or engage in any leasing activities that expose us to any liability that is not reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. We believe the estimates used in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable and prudent. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A thorough understanding of our accounting policies is essential when reviewing our reported results of operations and our financial position. Management considers the following accounting policies critical to an informed review of our condensed consolidated financial statements. For a summary of these and additional accounting policies, see the notes to the

annual audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Investments

We determine the appropriate classification of our investments at the time of purchase and re-evaluate such determination at each statement of financial condition date.

Securities owned and securities sold but not yet purchased are classified as trading securities and are measured at fair value based on quoted market prices; market prices obtained from independent pricing services engaged by management; or as determined by our fair value committee. Unrealized gains and losses are recorded as gain (loss) from trading securities reported in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Investments classified as equity investments are accounted for using the equity method, under which we recognize our respective share of the investee’s net income for the period. The carrying amounts of these investments approximate their fair value.

Investments classified as available-for-sale are comprised of equity securities, investment-grade preferred instruments and investments in our sponsored open-end and closed-end mutual funds. These investments are carried at fair value based on quoted market prices or market prices obtained from independent pricing services engaged by management, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in accumulated other comprehensive income. We periodically review each individual security position that has an unrealized loss, or impairment, to determine if that impairment is other than temporary. If we believe an impairment of a security position is other than temporary, the loss will be recognized in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of our investment in the net assets of an acquired company over the fair value of the underlying identifiable net assets at the date of acquisition. Goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are not amortized but are tested at least annually for impairment by comparing the fair value to their carrying amounts. Finite lived intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives. We determined that the fair values of our goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets substantially exceeded their carrying values as a result of the most recent impairment test performed as of November 30, 2010.

Stock-based Compensation

We recognize compensation expense for the grant-date fair value of awards of equity instruments granted to employees. This expense is recognized over the period during which employees are required to provide service. We also estimate forfeitures.

Income Taxes

We record the current and deferred tax consequences of all transactions that have been recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the provisions of the enacted tax laws. Deferred tax assets are recognized for temporary differences that will result in deductible amounts in future years. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for temporary differences that will result in taxable income in future years. We record a valuation allowance, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that more likely than not will be realized. The effective tax rate for interim periods represents our best estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applied to the full fiscal year.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance to simplify how entities test goodwill for impairment. The new guidance permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the second step to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. This new guidance is effective for the first quarter of our 2012 fiscal year. We do not anticipate the adoption of this new guidance to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

net income and comprehensive income in stockholders' equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In the two-statement approach, the first statement should present total net income and its components followed consecutively by a second statement that should present total other comprehensive income, the components of other comprehensive income, and the total of comprehensive income. The new guidance should be applied retrospectively. This new guidance is effective for the first quarter of our 2012 fiscal year. We do not anticipate the adoption of this new guidance to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued new guidance regarding fair value measurement and disclosures. The new guidance results in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") and International Financial Reporting Requirements. This new guidance changed the wording used to describe many of the requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. This new guidance is effective for the first quarter of our 2012 fiscal year. We do not anticipate the adoption of this new guidance to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

Our management, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers and our Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2011.

Based on that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our Co-Chief Executive Officers and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2011 were effective to accomplish their objectives at a reasonable assurance level.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
