CBOEdirect® HyTS™
On June 12, 2003, the Chicago Board Options Exchange®

(CBOE®) introduced CBOEdirect HyTS, a revolutionary

hybrid trading system. CBOE is the first exchange to

truly marry the speed and efficiency of screen-based

trading with the liquidity and price discovery of a 

competitive, open outcry marketplace.

cv3 • CBOE  2003

By launching CBOEdirect HyTS,
CBOE has created a unique 

trading model, unlike that of

any other options exchange. 

The robust technology encompassed in CBOEdirect
HyTS combines the best features of screen-based

trading and floor-based markets. By crafting a multi-

faceted trading environment that combines the key

elements of each, CBOE now offers customers and

market makers a groundbreaking “best of both worlds”
options marketplace.

CBOE partnered with Belzberg Technologies,
Inc. to co-brand the CBOE Hybrid Trading
System (HyTS) Terminal, a universal access,
multifunctional, trading solution workstation.
The HyTS Terminal serves as an order 
management tool, and provides CBOE 
customers with immediate point-and-click
access to CBOE markets.

Increased Efficiency and Speed
CBOEdirect HyTS offers powerful new features which
provide customers with efficiency, speed and market

quality unparalleled in the options industry.

Individual Market Makers’ Streaming Quotes
CBOEdirect HyTS allows in-crowd market makers to
input real-time, streaming quotes into CBOEdirect,
the system’s trade engine. CBOE disseminates the

resulting, composite best bid and offer, including the

total size available at the best price. Customers 

benefit from tight, guaranteed markets that can be

immediately accessed electronically.

The ability for market makers to stream live quotes, 

to post “quotes with size” and to more quickly execute

orders allows CBOE market makers to better show-

case the quality of markets found at CBOE. 

Point-and-Click Execution for Customers

The HyTS Terminal is a universal access, multifunctional

workstation that provides electronic access and order

routing to U.S. options exchanges, as well as complete

access to market data, real-time quotes and order

management—all on a single screen. Terminal users may

also obtain similar functionality for futures and stock

exchanges. Additionally, the CBOE HyTS Terminal

serves as a portal into the CBOE Hybrid Trading System.

CBOE’s trading floor houses the most traders
and the greatest pool of liquidity of any
options exchange. Within this highly-liquid
marketplace, opportunities for price
improvement are plentiful. 

Potential for Price Improvement
CBOE believes in the inherent value of the face-to-face,

open outcry marketplace and also recognizes the 

beneficial features of electronic trading. The Hybrid
Trading System, CBOEdirect HyTS, is more than just
the sum of its parts. The system offers customers

synergistic benefits by uniting the advantages of 

both types of marketplaces. With nearly 1,400 well-

capitalized market makers, CBOE features more

options traders in one place than any other exchange.

This vast pool of expertise and liquidity creates deep

markets where abundant opportunities for price 

discovery allow for price improvement. 

Open Access to the Limit Order Book

Because individual market makers now have electronic

quoting capability, CBOE, for the first time, allows for

the “opening of the Limit Order Book” to customer, firm

and Broker/Dealer orders. Orders entered in the Book

are afforded priority according to price and are eligible

for electronic matching. Customer priority is retained.

Letter from the Office of the Chairman
Mounting competitive pressures, a prolonged bear market in equities and shaken investor

confidence combined to make Fiscal Year 2003 extremely demanding for the Chicago Board

Options Exchange (CBOE) and its members. In the midst of this very challenging year, CBOE

celebrated 30 years of options trading and retained its position as the world’s largest

options exchange based on total volume. In addition, CBOE launched a major strategic and tech-

nological initiative designed to extend the Exchange’s leadership position into the future. 

CBOE remained the leading exchange in overall options volume in FY 2003, garnering a 33%

market share. Nearly 270 million contracts were traded, with an average daily volume of

1,071,305 contracts. Total equity options volume in FY 2003 was 159.3 million contracts.

Despite a decrease of 2% when compared to FY 2002, the volume in FY 2003 represented

the fourth highest fiscal year total in the Exchange’s history.   

Impressive growth in CBOE’s options on benchmark indexes drove exchange volume in 

FY 2003, including: S&P 500® Index options (SPX), up 45%; S&P 100® Index options (OEX®), 
up 51%; options on the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM (DJX), up 31%; Russell 2000 Index®
options (RUT), up 71%; and options on the Nasdaq-100® Index Tracking Stock (QQQ), up 21%.

Total index options volume was 110.6 million contracts traded, an increase of 43% over 

FY 2002. From May 2002 through June 2003, index options volume at CBOE posted 

consecutive gains each month over the same month’s year-ago level.  

CBOE remains committed to innovations and strategies that will foster the future growth of

the Exchange. The most significant of those in 2003, as we’ve noted in the previous pages,
was the launch of CBOEdirect HyTS, our new hybrid trading system. 

CBOEdirect HyTS was designed to capitalize on CBOE’s greatest assets—the largest pool of
market-making professionals in the options industry and the deep, liquid markets found in

our trading crowds. Those assets, combined with the Exchange’s ongoing commitment to

enhance the trading process through technological innovation, led to the creation of this 

new business model.

CBOEdirect HyTS provides market makers with cutting-edge technology to display their 
markets in order to compete more aggressively with both screen- and floor-based competitors.
We believe that CBOEdirect HyTS, with its unique marriage of traders and technology, has the
capability to revolutionize the industry and change the way options are traded. 

The conversion to Hybrid is ongoing as individual classes continue to be phased-in throughout

the remainder of 2003. By year-end, the top classes, which account for approximately 90%

of the national volume in equity options, will be traded on the Hybrid.

The emergence of CBOEdirect HyTS onto the competitive landscape significantly alters the
options marketplace. Additionally, because CBOE both built and owns the highly-flexible
technology used to power CBOEdirect HyTS, it can be easily adapted to future customer needs.

It is fitting, in our 30th anniversary year, for CBOE to punctuate its great tradition of leader-
ship in customer service and technological innovation with the unveiling of CBOEdirect HyTS,
the trading model of tomorrow. Through the continued dedication and skilled efforts of our

members and staff, we look forward to an even more productive and successful future.

Sincerely,

William J. Brodsky

CBOE Financials FY 2003

Although equities options market share and overall membership profitability
continued to decline, the Exchange experienced a successful financial year.
Net income for the year amounted to $7.4 million versus a loss of $5.6 
million in the prior year.

Total options daily volume averaged 1,071,300 contracts per day, down
approximately 2% from the prior year’s average of 1,097,000 contracts
per day. The current year volume level was 16% higher than budgeted 
volume of 925,000 contracts per day.  

Significant growth in index volume was the main reason current year 
revenues were $15.0 million higher than the prior year. Average contracts per
day increases versus the prior year included Dow Jones indexes (112%), 
S&P 100 (51%), and S&P 500 (45%).

Expenses were $1.8 million less than the prior year, mainly due to non-
recurring severance expenses of $4.5 million incurred in FY02. Expense
increases in FY03 were mainly in royalty fees ($2.0 million) related to higher
indexes trading volume and our share of losses incurred by OneChicago
($2.7 million). The loss incurred by OneChicago in FY03 was higher than
FY02 due to higher operating and marketing costs related to the November
2002 launch of trading single stock futures.

Capital spending in FY03 amounted to approximately $25.0 million.
Investments were primarily in the Systems Division related to the 
Hybrid Trading System and other trading floor enhancements. In addition,
the Exchange contributed approximately $3.4 million in capital to
OneChicago in FY03.

Retained earnings increased to $111.1 million and total members’ equity 
at June 30, 2003 was $132.0 million. At year’s end, the Exchange was debt-
free with working capital of $30.1 million.

Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated and Subsidiaries 
For the Years Ended June 30, 2003 and 2002

1 .   S U M M A RY O F   S I G N I F I CA N T AC C O U N T I N G   P O L I C I E S
Nature of Business – The Chicago Board Options Exchange (“the Exchange”) is a registered securities exchange, subject to oversight by
the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Exchange’s principal business is providing a marketplace for trading equity and index options. 

Basis of Presentation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and results of operations of Chicago Board Options
Exchange, Incorporated, and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Chicago Options Exchange Building Corporation and, beginning in 2002,
CBOE, LLC. Inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated. 

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates. 

Revenue Recognition – Transaction Fees revenue is considered earned upon the execution of the trade and is recognized on a trade
date basis. Other Member Fees revenue is recognized during the period the service is provided. OPRA income is allocated based upon
the market share of the OPRA members and is received quarterly. Estimates of OPRA’s quarterly revenue are made and accrued each month.
Regulatory Fees are predominately received in the month of January and are amortized monthly to coincide with the services rendered
during the fiscal year.

Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less from
the date of purchase.

Investments – All investments are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at cost which approximates their fair value in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” 

Accounts Receivable – Accounts receivable consist primarily of transaction, marketing and other fees receivable from The Options Clearing
Corporation (“OCC”), and the Exchange’s share of distributable revenue receivable from The Options Price Reporting Authority (“OPRA”). 

Investments in Affiliates – Investments in affiliates represent investments in OCC, OneChicago, (“ONE”) and The Cincinnati Stock
Exchange (“CSE”). The investment in OCC (20% of its outstanding stock) is carried at cost because of the Exchange’s inability to exercise
significant influence. The Exchange accounts for the investment in CSE (68% of its total certificates of proprietary membership) under
the equity method due to the lack of effective control over the operating and financing activities of CSE. During 2002 the Exchange made
an initial investment in ONE (approximately 40% of its outstanding stock). This investment is accounted for under the equity method. 

Property and Equipment – Property and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation on building, furniture and equipment is provided on
the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives are 40 years for the building and five to ten years for furniture and equipment. Leasehold
improvements are amortized over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or the remaining term of the applicable leases. 

Data Processing Software – Data processing software is carried at cost and amortized over five to seven years using the straight-line
method commencing with the date the software is put in service. 

Goodwill – SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” requires that goodwill and separately identified intangible assets with
indefinite lives no longer be amortized but reviewed annually (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise) for impairment. Separately
identified intangible assets not deemed to have indefinite lives will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. Upon review by
Exchange management, it was determined there has been no impairment of the intangible assets included in the financial statements.
Goodwill is amortized over fifteen years for income tax purposes.

Income Taxes – Income taxes are determined using the liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based
on differences between the financial accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. 

Unearned Income – Unearned income represents amounts received by the Exchange for which the contracted services have not 
been provided. 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments – SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires disclosure of the fair
value of certain financial instruments. The carrying values of financial instruments included in assets and liabilities are reasonable estimates
of their fair value.

Reclassifications – Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

N OT E S   T O   C O N S O L I D AT E D   F I N A N C I A L   S TAT E M E N T S   ( C O N T I N U E D )

Recent Accounting Pronouncement – In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation Number 45 (FIN), “Guarantor’s Accounting
and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others,” effective June 30, 2003. FIN45
is an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57 and 107 and a rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34. This interpretation elaborates
on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees
that it has issued. It also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of
the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The Exchange has determined the impact of adopting FIN45 to be immaterial. 

In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” effective July 1, 2003. This interpretation of
Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable
interest entities that meet one or all of certain preset characteristics. The Exchange has determined the impact of adopting FIN46 
to be immaterial.

The Exchange’s equity in the net assets of OCC exceeded its cost by approximately $8.3 million and $8.6 million at June 30, 2003 and 2002,
respectively. The Exchange collected transaction and other fees of $129.0 million and $123.4 million for the years ended June 30, 2003
and 2002, respectively, by drawing on accounts of the Exchange’s members held at OCC. For the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002,
respectively, the amount collected includes $8.2 million and $19.3 million of marketing fees (see note 8). The Exchange had a receivable
due from OCC of $11.9 million and $11.1 million at June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

The Exchange incurred rebillable expenses on behalf of CSE, for expenses such as employee costs, computer equipment and office space
of $3.7 million and $2.6 million for the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Exchange had a receivable from CSE of
$890 thousand and $485 thousand at June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

OPRA is a committee administered jointly by the five options exchanges and is authorized by the Securities and Exchange Commission
to provide consolidated options information. This information is provided by the exchanges and is sold to outside news services and
customers. OPRA’s operating income is distributed among the exchanges based on their relative volume of total transactions. Operating
income distributed to the Exchange was $15.6 million and $18.9 million for the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The
Exchange had a receivable from OPRA of $4.1 million and $4.5 million at June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

The Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and the Chicago Board of Trade are partners in ONE, a joint venture created to trade
single stock futures. Certain ONE employees also have minority interests in the joint venture. ONE is a for-profit entity with its own
management and board of directors, and is separately organized as a regulated exchange. The Exchange contributed $3.4 million and
$4.4 million in capital to ONE during the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Exchange had a receivable due from
ONE of $1.0 million and $391 thousand at June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002, respectively.

4 .   L E AS E S
The Exchange leases office space with lease terms of six months and five years. Rent expenses related to leases during FY03 and FY02
were $735 thousand and $1.8 million, respectively. Future minimum lease payments under these noncancelable operating leases are

Eligible employees participate in the Chicago Board Options Exchange SMART Plan (the “SMART Plan”). The SMART Plan is a defined
contribution plan, which is qualified under Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k). The Exchange contributed $3.5 million and $3.4 million
to the SMART Plan for the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Eligible employees participate in the Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (the “SERP Plan”). The SERP Plan is a defined contribution
plan that is nonqualified by Internal Revenue Code regulations. The Exchange contributed $788 thousand and $579 thousand to the SERP
Plan for the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

The Exchange also has a Voluntary Employees’ Beneficiary Association (“VEBA”). The VEBA is a trust, qualifying under Internal Revenue
Code Section 501(c)(9), created to provide certain medical, dental, severance, and short-term disability benefits to employees of the
Exchange. Contributions to the trust are based on reserve levels established by Section 419(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. During
fiscal 2003 and 2002, the Exchange contributed $2.7 million and $1.8 million, respectively, to the trust. 

6 .   C O M M I T M E N T S  
In September 2000, the Exchange reached an agreement in principle to settle a consolidated civil class action lawsuit filed against the
Exchange and other U.S. options exchanges and certain market maker firms. The Exchange agreed to pay $16.0 million in three equal
installments on or before October 16, 2000, July 1, 2001, and July 1, 2002. All payments have been made, and are being held in escrow
pending approval of the settlement agreement by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.

Deferred income taxes arise principally from temporary differences relating to the use of accelerated depreciation methods for income
tax purposes, capitalization of software, licensing fees, funding of the VEBA trust, and beginning in 2002, undistributed earnings from
the Exchange’s investment in CSE.

19 • CBOE  2003

N OT E S   T O   C O N S O L I D AT E D   F I N A N C I A L   S TAT E M E N T S   ( C O N T I N U E D )

Due to CBOE’s refined strategy of possibly selling the CSE investment, management now believes that CBOE’s expected realization of
its investment in CSE will most likely be through the sale of its investment in CSE, which will trigger a capital gain at CBOE’s normal tax
rate. Therefore, beginning in 2002, CBOE has modified the deferred tax liability rate to match the changed disposition strategy.

8 .   M A R K E T I N G   F E E
Even though the original Exchange-sponsored marketing fee was suspended effective August 1, 2001, the Exchange continued to
facilitate the collection of payment for order flow funds from DPMs and distributed funds to order provider firms, as directed by the
DPMs each month. Effective June 2, 2003, the Exchange re-instituted a new marketing fee program. As of June 30, 2003 and 2002
amounts held by CBOE on behalf of others included accounts receivable balances of $687 thousand and $1.1 million, respectively. 

9 .   L I T I G AT I O N
A former member of the Exchange has requested compensation for losses it alleges to have incurred because the Exchange terminated
that member’s appointment as a designated primary market maker.  The former member states that it has suffered substantial lost
profits and that it lost the opportunity to sell its business at a multiple of those profits. The Exchange has informed the former mem-
ber that specific Exchange rules preclude claims of this type from being made against the Exchange. The former member has initiated
no lawsuit or other formal legal proceeding.  

I N D E P E N D E N T A U D I T O R S ’   R E P O RT

To the Board of Directors and Members of the Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of the Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated and subsidiaries
(the “Exchange”) as of June 30, 2003 and 2002, and the related consolidated statements of income and retained earnings and of cash 
flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Exchange’s management. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of The Cincinnati
Stock Exchange (“CSE”) for the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Exchange’s investment in which is accounted for by use of the
equity method. The Exchange’s equity of $12.2 million and $10.3 million in the CSE’s net assets at June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively,
and of $1.9 million and $141 thousand in that Exchange’s net income for the respective years then ended are included in the accompanying
financial statements. The financial statements of CSE were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our
opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for CSE, is based solely on the report of such other auditors.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the report of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other auditors, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Exchange and its subsidiaries at June 30, 2003 and 2002, and the results of their operations and
their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
