Phoenix Investment Partners, Ltd. and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Phoenix Investment
Partners, Ltd. and subsidiaries (PXP or the Company), formerly Phoenix Duff &
Phelps Corporation, included herein have been prepared in accordance with the
instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information
and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these consolidated financial
statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1997. Reclassifications have been made, when necessary, to
conform the prior period presentation to the current period presentation.
2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
PXP adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income," as of January 1, 1998. This statement
establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income
and its components in a full set of financial statements. This statement
defines the components of comprehensive income as those items that were
previously reported only as components of equity and were excluded from the
Statement of Income. (See Note 5.)
SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information," is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1997. This statement requires the disclosure of different types of business
activities and economic environments of an enterprise, as they relate to a
specific segment. These disclosures are not required for interim periods in
the initial year.
As the above statements only address financial statement disclosure, they
have no impact on PXP's financial results.
3. Pro Forma Results
On July 17, 1997, PXP acquired a 74.9% majority interest in GMG/Seneca
Capital Management LLC (Seneca), a San Francisco-based investment advisor,
for approximately $37.5 million. On September 3, 1997, PXP acquired Pasadena
Capital Corporation (PCC), the parent company of Roger Engemann & Associates,
Inc., for approximately $214.0 million. Since PXP's financial statements for
the second quarter of 1997 do not reflect the operations of PCC and Seneca,
management believes that, for comparative purposes, the most meaningful
presentation of 1997 financial results is on a pro forma basis.
The following financial information for the three and six months ended June
30, 1998 reflects actual results for the quarter. The following pro forma
financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 is
derived from the historical financial statements of PXP, PCC and Seneca, and
gives effect to the acquisitions of PCC and a majority interest in Seneca by
PXP. The pro forma financial information has been prepared assuming these
acquisitions were effected on January 1, 1997 and does not reflect the actual
results that would have been obtained had the acquisitions actually taken
effect on the aforementioned assumed date.

Preferred Stock (Preferred Stock) for 6% Convertible Subordinated Debentures

outstanding Preferred Stock as of the exchange date received the $25.00
principal amount of the Debentures in exchange for each share of Preferred
Stock, including unpaid and accrued dividends. Interest on the Debentures for
the period from June 10, 1998 through September 9, 1998 will be payable on
September 10, 1998 to registered holders as of August 20, 1998.

for a total cost of $4.6 million.

6. Earnings Per Share
For the periods ended June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1997, basic and diluted
earnings per share (EPS) were computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128,
"Earnings per Share." Basic EPS is computed by dividing income available to
common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income,
adjusted for debenture interest, net of tax, by the weighted average number
of common stock equivalent shares outstanding for the period, with the
exception that common stock equivalents, and the related earnings effect, are
ignored in the event of anti-dilution. Common stock equivalents are computed
based on outstanding stock options under the non-qualified stock option
plans, the conversion of the subordinated debentures to common stock, in 1998
only, and the conversion of preferred stock to common stock.
The following tables reconcile PXP's basic earnings per share to diluted
earnings per share (in thousands, except per-share amounts):

In accordance with SFAS No. 128, the computation of diluted earnings per
share and the respective weighted average diluted shares for the six months
ended June 30, 1997, excludes the effect of the conversion of the Preferred
Stock since these securities were anti-dilutive. Had the Preferred Stock not
been anti-dilutive, the weighted average number of diluted shares for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 would have been 54.4 million.

7. Subsequent Events
On July 27, 1998, PXP purchased GMG/Seneca Capital Management L.P. for $.7
million, a transaction that was contemplated at the time of the Seneca
acquisition.
On July 30, 1998, PXP entered into a definitive agreement with Toronto-based
First International Asset Management, Inc. to sell PXP's investment in
Beutel, Goodman & Company Ltd. for US$57.5 million. As consideration, PXP
will receive $45.0 million in cash and a $12.5 million three-year interest-
bearing note. The transaction is expected to close by September 30, 1998

Phoenix Investment Partners, Ltd. and Subsidiaries
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and
Financial Condition
Business Description
Phoenix Investment Partners, Ltd. and subsidiaries (PXP or the Company) provide
a variety of financial services to a broad base of institutional, corporate and
individual clients. The original business of PXP's predecessor company, Duff &
Phelps Corporation (D&P), which was founded in 1932, was to provide clients with
investment research on public utility companies. D&P grew by expanding its
products and services in areas in which management believed its core investment
research business provided a competitive advantage. D&P's utility research was
expanded over time to include leading industrial and financial companies. As
its capabilities in investment research grew, D&P built upon its reputation
to establish a range of complementary financial services. D&P entered the
institutional investment management business in 1979, and investment management
grew to become D&P's primary business. In 1995, D&P merged with Phoenix
Securities Group, Inc. (PSG), the money management subsidiary of Phoenix Home
Life Mutual Insurance Company (PHL). The merger between D&P and PSG formed
Phoenix Duff & Phelps Corporation, which was renamed PXP in 1998. In 1996, in
order to better focus on merging and growing the retail and institutional
investment management business, PXP exited the fee based investment research,
investment banking and financial advisory businesses.
PXP is organized into two lines of business: retail investment management and
institutional investment management. The retail investment management line of
business provides discretionary investment management services to individuals
and individually managed account clients. Individually managed accounts are
primarily administered through broker-dealer sponsored and distributed wrap
programs offered to high net-worth individuals. The institutional investment
management line of business provides discretionary and advisory investment
management services primarily to corporate entities and multi-employer
retirement funds, as well as endowment, insurance and other special purpose
funds. PXP, through its subsidiaries, provides investment management services on
a discretionary basis (including administrative services) to retail accounts,
consisting of open-end mutual funds and individually managed accounts. In
addition, PXP provides discretionary and advisory investment management services
to institutional accounts, including three closed-end mutual funds.
Investment management fees for the management of discretionary accounts are
based on the asset value of the investment portfolios under management, while
fees for advisory accounts are at fixed rates. A major portion of institutional
account revenues is earned from managing the general account of PXP's
majority shareholder, PHL. Management fee revenues from PHL represent
approximately 12.5% of total institutional account management fee revenue for
the six months ended June 30, 1998. Mutual fund shares and variable annuity
products are distributed by Phoenix Equity Planning Corporation (PEPCO), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of PXP, under sales agreements with unaffiliated
national and regional broker-dealers and financial institutions and registered
representatives of WS Griffith & Co., Inc. (Griffith). Griffith is a registered
broker-dealer subsidiary of PHL engaged in the retail distribution of mutual
funds and variable annuity contracts. Griffith is currently one of the largest
sellers of PXP's retail investment products, accounting for approximately 5% and
74% of mutual fund and variable annuity product sales, respectively, as of June
30, 1998. Through Griffith, PEPCO obtains the services of more than 1,250 PHL
insurance agents and brokers who are registered representatives of Griffith.

Assets Under Management
At June 30, 1998, PXP had $50.5 billion of assets under management, an increase
of $1.2 billion (2.5%) from March 31, 1998, and $16.1 billion (46.8%) from June
30, 1997. The increase from June 30, 1997 is primarily the result of the
acquisitions of Pasadena Capital Corporation (PCC), on September 3, 1997, and a
majority interest in Seneca Capital Management LLC (Seneca), on July 17, 1997,
which increased assets under management by $12.3 billion as of June 30, 1998.
Since the revenues of the Company are substantially earned based upon assets
under management, this information is important to an understanding of the
business.

Three Months Ended June 30, 1998 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 1997
- - Historical
Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1998 of $56.0 million, which
includes $20.5 million for PCC and Seneca, increased $22.8 million (69%) from
$33.2 million for the same period in 1997. Excluding the effects of PCC and
Seneca, the Company's revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1998
increased $2.3 million (7%) compared to the same period in 1997.
Investment management fees of $48.8 million for the three months ended June 30,
1998, which includes $18.6 million for PCC and Seneca, increased $21.9 million
(82%) as compared to $26.8 million for the same period in 1997. Management fees
earned from open-end mutual funds, including institutional mutual funds,
increased $1.5 million, of which $1.1 million is due to an increase in average
assets under management as a result of investment performance in the second
quarter of 1998. The remaining increase is primarily due to a change in the
asset mix. Management fees earned from closed-end mutual funds, PHL sponsored
variable annuity products, and managed accounts increased $1.3 million primarily
as a result of an increase in average assets under management, due to investment
performance. Management fees earned from managing PHL's general account
increased $.3 million as a result of a $1.5 billion increase in average assets
under management offset, in part, by a change in the fee structure.
Institutional accounts management fees increased $.3 million as a result of a
change in asset mix, as well as an increase in average assets under management.
The addition of several new mutual funds in the latter part of 1997 for which
the advisors, subsidiaries of the Company, agreed to waive or reimburse expenses
to the extent they exceeded limits detailed in the funds' prospectuses,
decreased revenues by $.3 million.
14
Mutual funds - ancillary fees of $6.5 million for the three months ended June
30, 1998, which includes $1.8 million for PCC, increased $1.1 million (21%) as
compared to $5.3 million for the same period in 1997. Fund accounting fees
earned on open-end mutual funds and PHL sponsored variable annuity products
increased $.3 million primarily as a result of an increase in average assets
under management and an approved change in the fee structure. This change was
implemented to reimburse Phoenix Equity Planning Corporation (PEPCO) for
operating costs related to the out-sourcing of substantially all of PXP's fund
accounting operations in the first quarter of 1998. Net distributor fees
decreased $.8 million primarily as a result of the sale of the then existing
deferred commissions asset (excluding PCC's) in June of 1997. Shareholder
service agent fees decreased $.2 million as a result of a decline in mutual fund
shareholder accounts.
Other income and fees of $.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998,
which includes $.2 million of contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) income
from the Phoenix-Engemann B share mutual funds, decreased $.3 million (27%) as
compared to $1.0 million for the same period in 1997, due to reduced CDSC income
resulting from the sale of the Company's then existing deferred commissions
asset.
Employment expenses of $22.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998,
which includes $6.9 million for PCC and Seneca, increased $7.0 million (46%) as
compared to $15.3 million for the same period in 1997. Incentive compensation
increased $.9 million resulting from improved performance by several portfolio
managers and research analysts, as well as an increase in sales-based and
management incentives. The retirement of a key executive in the second quarter
of 1997 decreased employment expenses by $.1 million. Annual salary adjustments
were offset, in part, by a reduction in the average number of employees during
the second quarter of 1998 as compared to the same period in the prior year.
Other operating expenses of $14.9 million for the three months ended June 30,
1998, which includes $2.4 million for PCC and Seneca, increased $6.0 million
(68%) as compared to $8.9 million for the same period in 1997. Other operating
expenses increased $1.7 million as a result of payments to a third party
administrator related to the out-sourcing of substantially all of PXP's fund
accounting operations in the first quarter of 1998. Other operating expenses
increased $1.2 million as a result of additional administrative costs incurred
on behalf of PCC and Seneca, a portion of which are recovered by administrative
fees earned on the Phoenix-Engemann Funds. The use of consultants, primarily for
information technology purposes, increased other operating expenses by $.6
million. PXP recorded a one-time loss of $.6 million in the second quarter of
1997 relating to the sub-lease of certain office space.
Restructuring charges of $.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998
represent the final costs resulting from the Company's decision to out-source
substantially all of its fund accounting operations effective in the first
quarter of 1998.
Depreciation and amortization of leasehold improvements of $1.0 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1998, which includes $.2 million for PCC and Seneca,

result of capital assets purchased since June, 1997.
Amortization of goodwill and intangible assets of $5.5 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1998 increased $3.1 million (133%) as compared to $2.4
million for the same period in 1997 as a result of the amortization of the
intangible assets and goodwill identified in the preliminary purchase price
allocations of PCC and Seneca.
Amortization of deferred commissions of $.3 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1998, which relates entirely to sales of the Phoenix-Engemann B share
mutual funds, decreased $.9 million (77%) as compared to $1.1 million for the
same period in 1997 as a result of the sale of PXP's then existing deferred
commissions asset (excluding PCC's) in the second quarter of 1997, which
eliminated the amortization charge.
Operating income of $11.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998
increased $6.9 million (140%) as compared to $5.0 million for the same period in
1997 as a result of the changes discussed above.

months ended June 30, 1998 increased $.5 million (94%) as compared to $.6
million for the same period in 1997. PXP's share of equity earnings from
Greystone Financial Group (GFG) was zero in the second quarter of 1998 compared

on the sale of the Company's deferred commissions asset, excluding PCC's.
Interest expense - net of $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998,
which includes $.1 million of net interest income for PCC and Seneca, increased
$3.6 million as compared to net interest income of $.1 million for the same
period in 1997. Interest charges from financing the PCC and Seneca acquisitions
resulted in $2.8 million of additional interest offset, in part, by a decrease
in interest expense of $.2 million due to the elimination of outstanding debt on
a previous credit facility. The exchange of PXP's preferred stock to convertible
debentures in the second quarter of 1998 resulted in $1.1 million of additional
interest expense.
Income to minority interest of $.5 million for the three months ended June 30,
1998 represents the minority shareholders' interest in the equity earnings of
Seneca, which is fully consolidated in the Company's financial statements.
The effective tax rate of 44% for the three months ended June 30, 1998 increased
from 42% for the same period in 1997. This increase represents the effect of
non-deductible goodwill amortization resulting from the PCC acquisition.
As a result of the variances discussed above, net income for the three months
ended June 30, 1998 of $5.1 million decreased $2.2 million (30%) compared to
$7.3 million for the second quarter of 1997.

the result of investment performance in the first half of 1998. Management fees
earned from managing PHL's general account increased $.6 million as a result of
a $1.5 billion increase in average assets under management offset, in part, by a
change in the fee structure. Institutional accounts management fees decreased
$.7 million primarily due to a decrease in the average blended basis points
earned. Funds under reimbursement, a reduction to revenues, increased $.8
million primarily due to the addition of several new mutual funds in the
latter part of 1997 for which the advisors, subsidiaries of the Company, agreed
to waive or reimburse expenses to the extent they exceeded limits detailed in

managers and research analysts, as well as an increase in sales-based and
management incentives. The resignation and retirement of two key executives
in the first half of 1997, decreased employment expenses in the first six months

reimburse PEPCO for additional administrative costs related to the out-sourcing
of substantially all of PXP's fund accounting operations. Shareholder service
agent fees decreased $.5 million as a result of a decline in mutual fund
shareholder accounts.
Other income and fees of $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998
decreased $1.1 million (44%) from pro forma $2.5 million for the same period in
1997, primarily as a result of the sale of the Company's then existing deferred
commissions asset in June 1997.
Employment expenses of $45.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998
increased $1.7 million (4%) as compared to pro forma $43.3 million for the same
period in 1997. Incentive compensation increased $1.8 million resulting from
improved performance by several portfolio managers and research analysts, as
well as an increase in certain management and subsidiary profit and revenue
based incentive programs. The resignation and retirement of two key executives
in the first half of 1997, decreased employment expenses by $.6 million. Annual
salary adjustments were offset, in part, by a reduction in the average number of
employees as compared to the same period in the prior year.
20
Other operating expenses of $29.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998
decreased $.5 million (2%) as compared to pro forma $29.7 million for the same
period in 1997. Amortization of deferred commissions decreased $2.8 million as a
result of the sale of the Company's then existing deferred commissions asset,
excluding PCC's, in June 1997. The use of consultants, primarily for information
technology purposes, increased other operating expenses by $.8 million. Other
operating expenses increased by $2.0 million as a result of payments to a third
party administrator related to the out-sourcing of substantially all of PXP's
fund accounting operations in the first quarter of 1998. The Company incurred
$.4 million in restructuring charges as a result of this out-sourcing.
Depreciation and amortization of leasehold improvements increased by $.2
million. PXP recorded a one-time loss of $.6 million in the second quarter
of 1997 relating to the sub-lease of certain office space.
Amortization of goodwill and intangibles of $11.0 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 was the same as pro forma 1997.
Other income - net of $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998
decreased $8.7 million (76%) as compared to pro forma $11.4 million for the same
period in 1997. A $6.9 million non-recurring gain was recognized on the sale of
the Company's deferred commissions asset, excluding PCC's, in the second quarter
of 1997. A non-recurring gain of $5.0 million was realized in the second quarter
of 1997 by PCC from the sale of its investment in its own mutual funds. Equity
income from the Company's investment in BG increased $.5 million. PXP recorded a
$1.5 million loss in 1997 related to the liquidation of WCCBO in early 1997.
PXP's share of equity earnings from GFG was zero for the six months ended June
30, 1998 compared to a $.5 million loss for the six months ended June 30, 1997.
Interest expense - net of $6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998
increased $.7 million (13%) as compared to pro forma $5.4 million for the same
period in 1997 primarily from the exchange of PXP's preferred stock for
convertible debentures in the second quarter of 1998, which resulted in $1.1
million of additional interest expense. Interest expense decreased $.4 million
due to the elimination of outstanding debt on a previous credit facility.
Income to minority interest of $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30,
1998 increased $.5 million (117%) as compared to pro forma $.4 million for the
same period in 1997 as a result of Seneca's increased earnings.
Net income of $10.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 decreased
$2.2 million (17%) as compared to pro forma $12.8 million for the same period in
1997 as a result of the above. The effective tax rate increased to 44% for the
six months ended June 30, 1998 from 43% for the same period in 1997.
Non-recurring gains of $11.9 million in the second quarter of 1997 reduced the
effective tax rate in 1997.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's business is not considered to be capital intensive. Working
capital requirements for the Company have historically been provided by
operating cash flows. It is expected that such cash flows will continue to serve
as the principal source of working capital for the Company for the near future.
The Company's assets are primarily liquid in nature and are not significantly
affected by inflation. The effects of inflation may result in increased employee
compensation, occupancy costs, and promotional costs. An increase in interest
rates or a substantial decline in the value of fixed income or equity securities
which causes a significant decline in the net asset value of the funds managed
by the Company would adversely affect the Company's financial condition and
results of operations.
21
The Company's current capital structure, as of August 10, 1998, includes 44.2
million shares of common stock and $76.4 million of 6% Convertible Subordinated
Debentures with a principal value of $25.00 per debenture. The current quarterly
dividend rate on common stock is $.06 per share. If the dividend rate remains
constant for 1998, the total annual dividend on common stock would be
approximately $10.6 million based upon shares outstanding at June 30, 1998. The
total annual interest expense on the debentures based upon debentures
outstanding at June 30, 1998, at an interest rate of 6%, would be $4.6 million.
The Company has an agreement with a consortium of banks providing for a $200
million five year credit facility, with no required principal repayments prior
to maturity in August 2002. The outstanding obligation under the credit facility
at June 30, 1998 was $180 million. An interest rate of approximately 6.0% was in
effect on this borrowing as of June 30, 1998. The credit agreement contains
financial and operating covenants including, among other provisions,
requirements that the Company maintain certain financial ratios and satisfy
certain financial tests, restrictions on the ability to incur indebtedness, and
limitations on the amount of the Company's capital expenditures. At June 30,
1998, the Company was in compliance with all covenants contained in the credit
agreement. The Company believes that funds from operations and amounts available
under the credit facility will provide adequate liquidity for the foreseeable
future.
Management considers the liquidity of the Company to be adequate to meet present
and anticipated needs.
Impact of the Year 2000 Issue
The Year 2000 Issue is the result of computer programs being written using two
digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of a company's
computer programs that have date-sensitive software may recognize a date using
"00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system
failure or miscalculation causing disruptions of operations, including, among
other things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices, or
engage in similar normal business activities.
Based upon Company assessments, it has been determined that the Company will be
required to modify or replace portions of its software so that its computer
systems will properly utilize dates beyond December 31, 1999. The Company
believes that with modifications to existing software and conversions to new
software, the Year 2000 Issue will be mitigated. It is anticipated that such
modifications and conversions will be completed on a timely basis. The failure
of computer programs to recognize the year 2000 could have a negative impact on,
but is not limited to, the handling of securities trades, the pricing of
securities and the servicing of client accounts. If such modifications and
conversions are not made, or are not completed timely, the Year 2000 Issue could
have a material impact on the operations of the Company.
The Company has initiated formal communications with all of its software
vendors, service providers and information providers to determine the extent to
which the Company is vulnerable to those third parties' failure to remediate
their own Year 2000 Issue. The Company's total Year 2000 project cost and
estimate to complete include the estimated costs and time associated with the
impact of a third party's Year 2000 Issue, and are based on presently available
information. However, there can be no guarantee that the systems of other
companies on which the Company's systems rely will be converted timely, or that
a failure to convert by another company, or a conversion that is incompatible
with the Company's systems, would not have a material adverse effect on the
Company.
The Company will utilize internal resources to reprogram, or replace, and test
the software for Year 2000 modifications. Certain systems are already in the
process of being converted due to previous Company initiatives. The Company
plans to complete the reprogramming phase of the Year 2000 project by December
31, 1998 and the testing phase by June 30, 1999. The total cost of the Year 2000
project is estimated at $5.5 million and is being funded through operating cash
flows, which will be expensed as incurred over the next two years. To date, the
Company has incurred approximately $1.0 million related to the assessment of its
Year 2000 project, and the development of a Year 2000 plan, remediation and
testing. The total cost to the Company to become Year 2000 compliant is not
expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations.
22
The costs of the project and the date on which the Company plans to complete the
Year 2000 modifications are based on management's best estimates, which were
derived utilizing numerous assumptions of future events including the continued
availability of certain resources, third party modification plans and other
factors. However, there can be no guarantee that these estimates will be
achieved and actual results could differ materially from those plans. Specific
factors that might cause such material differences include, but are not limited
to, the availability and cost of personnel trained in this area, the ability to
locate and correct all relevant computer codes, and similar uncertainties.
Cautionary Statement Under Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
This quarterly report contains forward looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties including, but not limited to, the following: The Company's
performance is highly dependent on the amount of assets under management, which
may decrease for a variety of reasons including changes in interest rates and
adverse economic conditions; the Company's performance is very sensitive to
changes in interest rates, which may increase from current levels; the Company's
performance is affected by the demand for and the market acceptance of the
Company's products and services; the Company's business is extremely competitive
with several competitors being substantially larger than the Company; and the
Company's performance may be impacted by changes in the performance of financial
markets and general economic conditions. The costs involved to complete the Year
2000 modifications are based on management's best estimates, which were derived
based upon assumptions relative to future events including the continued
availability of certain resources, third party modification plans and other
factors. There can be no guarantee that these estimates will be achieved and
actual results could differ materially from those plans. Specific factors that
might cause such material differences include, but are not limited to, the
availability and cost of personnel trained in this area, the ability to locate
and correct all relevant computer codes, and similar uncertainties. The
potential problems related to the Year 2000 Issue could affect the ability to
provide advisory services for the Company's products. Accordingly, actual
results may differ materially from those set forth in the forward looking
statements.
