Operating Results
Our revenues increased as a result of the acquisitions of National Investment
Services and Boyd Watterson Asset Management during 2008, offset in part by
decreased revenues at our Wood Asset Management and Sovereign Holdings
subsidiaries. Their decreases in revenues were primarily driven by the loss of
customer accounts in 2008 and the impact of the decrease in equity values over
the second half of 2008.
Our operating loss of $2,064,000 for the first quarter of 2009 was primarily the
result of the decrease in revenues at Wood and Sovereign and significant
professional fees incurred during the first quarter of 2009 associated with our
annual audit and the preparation of our various annual reports. We continue to
focus on the integration of operational and administrative functions and expect
to achieve significant expense reductions over the balance of 2009.
During the first quarter of 2009, we also incurred a nonrecurring $381,000 loss
related to our investment in the Plurima Titanium U.S. Equity Fund, to which we
were serving as an investment advisor. In March 2009, our board of directors
determined that additional investments from other parties were likely not to be
forthcoming and as a result, they decided to commence actions to liquidate our
investment in the commingled stock fund.
Titanium Asset Management Corp. is a multiproduct asset management company
developed through the integration of four long established companies serving
both institutional and retail clients. Titanium acquired Wood Asset Management,
Inc. and Sovereign Holdings, LLC in October 2007, National Investment Services,
Inc. in March 2008 and Boyd Watterson Asset Management, LLC in December 2008.
