Revenue is derived from the originators and issuers of such transactions who use MIS ratings in the distribution of their debt issues to investors.</font></p> <p style="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"> <font style="font-family:Times New Roman" size="2">The MA segment, which includes all of the Company&#x2019;s non-rating commercial activities, develops a wide range of products and services that support financial analysis and risk management activities of institutional participants in global financial markets. Within its Research, Data and Analytics business, MA distributes research and data developed by MIS as part of its ratings process, including in-depth research on major debt issuers, industry studies and commentary on topical credit-related events. The RD&amp;A business also produces economic research as well as data and analytical tools such as quantitative credit risk scores. Within its Enterprise Risk Solutions business (formerly referred to as RMS), MA provides software solutions as well as related risk management services. The Professional Services business provides outsourced research and analytical services along with financial training and certification programs.</font></p> <p style="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"> <font style="font-family:Times New Roman" size="2">These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with the Company&#x2019;s consolidated financial statements and related notes in the Company&#x2019;s 2011 annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February&#xA0;27, 2012. The results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year or any subsequent period. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented have been included. The year-end consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
