accountant, Deloitte & Touche LLP, resigned. As described in the Company's
Forms 8-K dated October 19 and 20, 2005, the Company has determined that it
expects to restate its previously issued financial statements to recognize
approximately $2 million in additional pre-tax, non-cash compensation expense

NYFIX is currently interviewing accounting firms and proceeding as
expeditiously as possible to hire a new registered public accounting firm and
to bring the Company's regulatory filings current.
Nasdaq had previously provided the Company with an extension until October
31, 2005 to become current in its financial reporting. The Company will not
meet this deadline. As a result, the Company has been notified by Nasdaq that

of market opening on Tuesday, November 1, 2005. The Company anticipates that,
following the Nasdaq delisting, its common stock will be traded in the Pink

possible after it becomes current with its public filing requirements.
