(1) | Description of the Plan | |
The following description of the Jefferies Group, Inc. Employees Profit Sharing Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plans provisions. |
(a) | General | ||
The Plan is a defined contribution plan sponsored by Jefferies Group, Inc. (the Company) covering all employees of the Company who have completed 90 days of service. The Plan became effective in December 1964 and is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). | |||
(b) | Contributions | ||
Each year, participants may voluntarily contribute up to 15% of pretax annual compensation, as defined in the Plan. Participants may also make voluntary after-tax contributions up to $12,000, with the total annual amount contributed, either on a pretax or after-tax basis, not exceeding 15% of the participants compensation for a Plan year. Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit plans, defined contribution plans, or Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) that held contributions under a previous employers tax-qualified plan or contributory Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs). Participants direct the investment of their contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. The Plan currently offers 2 equity investments, a managed equity fund, 28 mutual funds (including 2 money market funds), and a self-directed brokerage account (that invests in interest-bearing cash accounts and income-oriented and growth-oriented mutual funds), as investment options for participants. The Company provides a fixed matching contribution for each dollar contributed by the employee on a pretax basis. In 2006 the rate of match was 25%. Effective January 1, 2007, the rate of match was changed to 50%. Effective December 1, 2008, the rate of the match was changed back to 25%. The Plan also enables employees to share in the profits of the Company by means of the Companys discretionary contributions that can only be made out of profits and are allocated on the basis of their compensation as defined in the Plan. Additional discretionary matching contributions are allocated to participant accounts based on the level of employee contributions made to the Plan. Contributions are subject to certain limitations. The Company did not authorize a discretionary contribution during 2008 or 2007. | |||
(c) | Participant Accounts | ||
Each participants account is credited with the participants contribution and allocations of (a) the Companys contributions and (b) Plan earnings, and charged with an allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participants vested account. |
4
(d) | Vesting | ||
Participants are vested immediately in their contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the Companys contribution portion of their accounts is based on years of continuous service as follows: |
Vested | ||||
Years of vesting service | percentage | |||
Fewer than two years |
| % | ||
Two years |
33 | |||
Three years |
67 | |||
Four years |
100 |
(e) | Participant Loans | ||
Participants may borrow from their fund accounts up to a maximum equal to the lesser of (1) $50,000 less the highest outstanding loan balance for the participant during the prior 12-month period or (2) 50% of their account balance, whichever is less. The loans are secured by the balance in the participants account and bear interest at market rates that remain unchanged for the duration of the loan. The term of the loan may not exceed five years except for loans for the purchase of a primary residence, in which case the repayment period is over ten years. Principal and interest are paid ratably through monthly payroll deductions. | |||
(f) | Payment of Benefits | ||
On termination of service for any reason, a participant with an account balance greater than $1,000 may elect to (1) receive a lump-sum distribution in an amount equal to the value of the participants vested interest in his or her account, (2) elect a rollover distribution to an eligible retirement plan or eligible individual retirement account in an amount equal to the value of the participants vested interest in his or her account, or (3) elect to retain the amount of the vested balance in the Plan until the attainment of age 65. To the extent that a participants account is less than $1,000, the Company will distribute the vested interest in the participants account to the participant in the form of a lump-sum payment. To the extent that a participants account is less than $1,000 and invested in Company stock, the distribution will be made in the form of whole shares of Company stock or cash. The Plan allows for in-service withdrawals for hardship purposes as defined in the Plan document. The Plan also allows employees to withdraw vested balances starting at age 59 1/2 and to withdraw their voluntary and rollover contributions at any time. | |||
(g) | Forfeited Accounts | ||
At November 30, 2008 and 2007, forfeited nonvested accounts totaled $341,958 and $291,522, respectively. The balance at November 30, 2007 was reallocated among the active participants subsequent to the last day of the Plan year based on the level of the active participants compensation. No such reallocation of the balance of forfeited nonvested accounts as of November |
5
30, 2008 was made. Effective December 1, 2008, forfeited nonvested accounts are no longer reallocated, but are used to pay administrative expenses of the Plan. | |||
(h) | Net Transfers from Related Plan | ||
The Company also maintains an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). The ESOP has a provision which allows eligible participants to transfer up to 25% of their ESOP holdings into the Plan. To be eligible to make such a transfer under the ESOP, the participant must be at least 55 years of age and must have completed at least 10 years of participation in the ESOP. Transfers from the ESOP into the Plan are done through transfers of Jefferies Group, Inc. common stock into the Plan at the current market value. | |||
(i) | Administrative Expenses | ||
All reasonable expenses of administering the Plan are either charged to participants and paid out of Plan assets or, effective December 1, 2008, paid from Plan forfeitures. If the expenses are charged to each participants account, they are charged on a pro rata basis. |
(2) | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
(a) | New Accounting Pronouncements | ||
Adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS 157), Fair Value Measurements | |||
Effective December 1, 2007, the Plan adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This pronouncement does not require any new fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which defers the effective date of SFAS 157 for one year for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are not disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis. The FSP did not defer the recognition and disclosure requirements for financial or non-financial assets and liabilities that are measured at least annually. In 2008 the Plan adopted FSP FAS 157-2. In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset in a Market That Is Not Active. FSP FAS 157-3 was effective upon issuance and applies to periods for which financial statements have not been issued. The FSPs guidance clarifies various application issues with respect to the objective of a fair value measurement, distressed transactions, relevance of observable data, and the use of managements assumptions. The effect of the adoption of SFAS 157, FSP FAS 157-2 and FSP FAS 157-3 did not have a material effect on the changes in net assets or financial position of the Plan. |
6
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly. Under FSP FAS 157-4, if the reporting entity has determined that the volume and level of market activity has significantly decreased and the transactions are not orderly, further analysis is required and adjustments to the quoted prices or transactions might be needed. FSP FAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that FSP FAS 157-4 will have on the Plans financial statements. | |||
Adoption of Financial Accounting Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes | |||
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 provides guidance on how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken to determine whether the tax positions are more likely than not of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have any effect on the Plans financial statements. The Internal Revenue Service, the primary tax oversight body for this Plan, generally has the ability to examine plan activity for up to three prior years. | |||
(b) | Basis of Accounting | ||
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting. | |||
(c) | Use of Estimates | ||
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | |||
(d) | Investment Valuation and Income Recognition | ||
The Plans investments are stated at fair value. Quoted market prices are used to value all investments except for participant loans. Shares of mutual funds are valued at the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end. Participant loans are valued at their outstanding balance, which approximates fair value. | |||
The Plan invests in the Tukman Equity Fund, a separately managed fund with the underlying investments in U.S. company securities. The Tukman Equity Fund is stated at fair value, based on the value of its underlying investments, as reported to the Plan by Fidelity Management Trust Company, the Plans trustee. | |||
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is reported when earned. |
7
(e) | Concentration of Investments | ||
Investment in common stock of Jefferies Group, Inc. comprises approximately 17% and 22% of the Plans investments as of November 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. | |||
(f) | Risks and Uncertainties | ||
The Plan provides for various investment options in mutual funds, common stock, and a self-directed brokerage account. The equity security investment options consist of the common stock of Jefferies Group, Inc. and Investment Technology Group, Inc., (ITG). Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities, it reasonable to expect that changes in the values of these securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amount reported in the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits, the statements of changes in net assets available for benefits and participants account balances. | |||
Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit. The Plans exposure to a concentration of credit risk is limited by the diversification of investments across the participant-directed fund elections. Additionally, the investments within each participant-directed fund election are further diversified into varied financial instruments. Investment decisions are made, and the resulting risks are borne, exclusively by the Plan participant who made such decisions. | |||
The value, liquidity and related income of the securities the Plan invests in are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including real estate value, delinquencies or defaults, or both, and may be adversely affected by shifts in the markets perception of the issuers and changes interest rates. | |||
(g) | Payment of Benefits | ||
Benefits are recorded when paid. |

During 2008 and 2007, the Plans investments (including gains and losses on investments bought and sold, as well as held during the year) depreciated in value by investment type, as follows: |
2008 | 2007 | |||||||
Common stock |
$ | (34,768,403 | ) | (4,325,651 | ) | |||
Mutual funds |

$ | (96,610,146 | ) | 3,598,201 | |||||
(4) | Party-in-Interest Transactions | |
In addition to the Company common stock, certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by Fidelity Management Trust Company. Fidelity Management Trust Company is the trustee as defined by the Plan, and therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. Fees paid by the Plan for the investment management services for the years ended November 30, 2008 and 2007 amounted to $264,642 and $359,286, respectively. | ||
(5) | Plan Termination | |
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants would become 100% vested in their employer contributions. | ||
(6) | Tax Status | |
The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated March 12, 2004 that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. The plan administrator and the Plans tax counsel believe that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. |
