ments, of 491.2 million as of November 2002 and 501.8 million as of November 2001.

generally associated with our matched book and securities lending businesses (which we calculate by adding our securities purchased under agree-
ments to resell and securities borrowed, and then subtracting our nonderivative short positions), (ii) cash and securities we segregate in compliance
with regulations and (iii) goodwill and identifiable intangible assets. See “ Financial Information —Management’s Discussion and Analysis — Capital and
Funding” for further information regarding our adjusted leverage ratio calculation.
(4) Tangible shareholders’ equity equals total shareholders’ equity less goodwill and identifiable intangible assets.
(5) Return on average shareholders' equity is computed by dividing net earnings by average monthly shareholders' equity.
(6) Return on average tangible shareholders’ equity is computed by dividing net earnings by average monthly tangible shareholders’ equity. See “ Financial
Information —Management’s Discussion and Analysis—Results of Operations” for further information regarding our return on average tangible share-
holders’ equity calculation.
