JEFFERIES FINANCIAL GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Nature of Operations

Jefferies Financial Group Inc. ("Jefferies" or the "Company") is a diversified financial services company engaged in investment banking and capital markets, asset management and direct investing. Jefferies Group LLC ("Jefferies Group"), ~~formerly known as Leucadia National Corporation, operates~~our largest subsidiary, is the largest independent full-service global investment banking firm headquartered in the U.S.~~, together with an established merchant banking business. We engage~~

Jefferies Group operates in 2 business segments: Capital Markets and Asset Management. Capital Markets includes investment banking, sales and trading and ~~asset~~other related services. Investment banking provides capital markets and financial advisory services to clients across most industry sectors in the Americas, Europe and Asia. Sales and trading businesses operate across the spectrum of equities, fixed income and foreign exchange products. Related services include, among other things, prime brokerage and equity finance, research and strategy, corporate lending and real estate finance, as well as other principal and corporate investing activities. Asset Management provides investment management ~~through~~services to investors in the U.S. and overseas and makes capital investments in managed funds and accounts. In March 2013, Jefferies Group ~~LLC~~became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Jefferies, yet retains a separate credit rating and continues to be a separate U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("~~Jefferies Group"~~SEC")~~. From time to time,~~ reporting company.

Merchant Banking is where we ~~evaluate the retention and disposition of~~invest in unique long-term opportunities. Our current Merchant Banking businesses and investments include National Beef Packing Company, LLC ("National Beef") (beef processing), Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. ("Spectrum Brands") (consumer products), Linkem (fixed wireless broadband services in Italy), Vitesse Energy, LLC ("Vitesse Energy Finance") and ~~changes~~JETX Energy, LLC ("JETX Energy") (oil and gas production and development), The We Company, formerly known as WeWork, (global network of workspaces), HomeFed LLC ("HomeFed") (real estate), Idaho Timber (manufacturing) and FXCM Group, LLC ("FXCM") (provider of online foreign exchange trading services). Our Merchant Banking businesses and investments also included Leucadia Asset Management ("LAM") (asset management) and Berkadia Commercial Mortgage Holding LLC ("Berkadia") (commercial mortgage banking, investment sales and servicing), prior to their transfer to Jefferies Group in the ~~mix~~fourth quarter of ~~these holdings should~~2018 and Garcadia (automobile dealerships), prior to its sale in August 2018. The structure of each of our investments was tailored to the unique opportunity each transaction presented. Our investments may be ~~expected.~~reflected in our consolidated results as consolidated subsidiaries, equity investments, securities or in other ways, depending on the structure of our specific holdings.

We own 31% of National Beef, ~~Packing Company. National Beef processes and markets fresh and chilled boxed~~one of the largest beef ~~ground beef, beef by-products, consumer-ready beef and pork, and wet blue leather for domestic and international markets.~~processing companies in the U.S. On June 5, 2018, we completed the sale of 48% of National Beef to Marfrig Global Foods S.A. ("Marfrig") ~~for $907.7 million in cash,~~ reducing our ownership in National Beef from 79% to 31%. The pre-tax gain recognized as a result of this transaction was $873.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. During 2018, prior to the closing, we received an additional $229.4 million in distributions of recent profits plus a true-up to the debt amount set in the enterprise valuation associated with the sale. Marfrig has also acquired a further 3% of National Beef from other equity owners and owns 51% of National Beef. We will continue to designate two board members and have a series of other rights in respect of our continuing equity interest, with a lockup period of five years and thereafter fair market value liquidity protections. As of the closing of the sale on June 5, 2018, we deconsolidated our investment in National Beef and account for our remaining 31% interest in National Beef under the equity method of accounting. We ~~have~~ classified the results of National Beef prior to June 5, 2018 as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 2423 for more information.

~~During~~At August 31, 2019, we owned approximately 15% of Spectrum Brands, a publicly traded global consumer products company on the ~~third quarter~~NYSE (NYSE: SPB), and we reflect this investment at fair value based on quoted market prices. In September 2019, the Jefferies Board of ~~2018, we sold 100%~~Directors approved a distribution to stockholders of ~~our equity interests in Garcadia, our auto dealer group, and our associated real estate~~Jefferies of these Spectrum Brands shares. Jefferies will distribute the 7,514,477 Spectrum Brands shares through a special pro rata dividend effective on October 11, 2019 to ~~our former partners,~~Jefferies stockholders of record as of the ~~Garff family, for $417.2 million in cash. The pre-tax gain recognized as a result~~close of ~~this transaction, $221.7 million for the three and nine months ended~~business on September 30, ~~2018,~~2019.

We own approximately 42% of the common shares of Linkem, as well as convertible preferred shares which, if converted, would increase our ownership to approximately 54% of Linkem's common equity at August 31, 2019. Linkem provides residential broadband services in Italy using LTE technologies deployed over the 3.5 GHz spectrum band. Linkem is ~~classified as Other revenue.~~accounted for under the equity method.

Vitesse Energy ~~LLC ("Vitesse Energy Finance")~~Finance is our 97% owned consolidated subsidiary that acquires and invests in non-operated working interests and ~~royalty oil and gas interests~~royalties predominantly in the Bakken Shale oil field in North ~~Dakota~~Dakota. JETX Energy is our 98% owned consolidated subsidiary that currently has non-operated working interests and ~~Montana, as well as the Denver-Julesburg Basin~~acreage in Wyoming. These non-operated interests represent Vitesse Energy Finance’s share of mineral rights associated with specified acreage. As operators convert undeveloped portions of this acreage into flowing horizontal wells, our interestseast Texas.

We invested $9.0 million in ~~the mineral rights are essentially converted into interests~~2013 in ~~the cash flows associated with the wells. In April 2018, Vitesse Energy Finance acquired a package of non-operated Bakken assets from a private equity fund for $190~~The We Company, which creates collaborative office communities, and have received $31.0 million in cash to date. We continue to own approximately 0.8% of the company. Our interest in The We Company is reflected in Trading assets in our financial statements at fair value.

Through June 30, 2019, we owned an approximate 70% equity interest of HomeFed, which approximately $144 million was funded as equity by Jefferies and the balance was drawn under Vitesse Energy Finance’s credit line. The assets purchased include interests in mineral rights associated with future oil and gas development, as well as interests in existing cash flows from producing wells through revenue sharing arrangements.

We will receive a profit share in the first year, and a revenue share thereafter. In addition, we entered into an agreement with Schonfeld Strategic Advisors LLC to merge the business of Folger Hill Asset Management with Schonfeld's fundamental equities business,interest under the ~~Schonfeld brand.~~equity method. On July 1, 2019, we completed a merger with HomeFed by which we acquired the remaining common stock of HomeFed. From July 1, 2019, the results of HomeFed are reflected on a consolidated basis. In connection with the pending transaction, we have agreed to make a $250.0 million investment in the combined strategy and we will own a revenue share in the management company. On October 1, 2018, Jefferies transferred its membership interests in certain funds and separately managed accounts which are managed by Leucadia Asset Management, as well as its interest in Berkadia Commercial Mortgage LLC ("Berkadia"), to Jefferies Group (collectively, "the Transfer"). The Transfer was accomplished as a capital contribution to Jefferies Groupmerger, HomeFed stockholders received 2 shares of ~~approximately $596 million and an internal transfer of cash from Jefferies Group of $78.3 million to the Jefferies parent company.~~our common

On July 13, 2018, HRG Group, Inc. ("HRG") merged into its 62% owned subsidiary, Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. ("Spectrum Brands"). Our approximately 23% interest in HRG thereby converted into approximately 14%

stock for each share of HomeFed common stock. A total of 9.3 million shares were issued, which were valued at $178.8 million at closing based on the ~~outstanding~~market price of our common shares. As an offset to these issued shares, ~~of Spectrum Brands, a NYSE company.~~

~~On October 2, 2018,~~ our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of 9.25 million shares in the open market.

The HomeFed acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. The fair value of the shares issued to acquire the remaining common shares of HomeFed implied an aggregate fair value of $596.4 million for 100% of HomeFed's equity balance. In accordance with purchase accounting, we preliminarily allocated the $596.4 million fair value for 100% of HomeFed to its assets, liabilities and ~~senior management approved~~noncontrolling interests. We recorded $101.7 million of cash, $413.2 million of real estate, $198.3 million of investments in associated companies, $37.4 million of deferred tax assets, $15.3 million of goodwill and intangibles, $6.6 million of other assets, $125.5 million of long-term debt, $46.7 million of payables, expense accruals and other liabilities and $3.9 million of noncontrolling interests. In addition, associated with the acquisition, we also recorded $32.4 million of goodwill generated by the establishment of $32.4 million of deferred tax liabilities related to allocated value exceeding the tax basis of some of the HomeFed net assets. The estimated weighted average useful lives for the amortizable intangibles were 4 years at time of acquisition. Our preliminary allocation of the acquisition price is based on our preliminary estimate of fair value for each of the acquired assets and liabilities, which were developed primarily utilizing discounted cash flow models. Such amounts are subject to revision as additional information about fair values of assets and liabilities becomes available. In connection with the acquisition of the remaining interest of HomeFed, we recognized a ~~change~~preliminary $72.1 million non-cash pre-tax gain in Other revenues on the remeasurement of our ~~fiscal year end from a calendar year basis~~70% interest in HomeFed to ~~a fiscal year ending~~fair value. The fair value of our 70% interest in HomeFed was based on ~~November 30, consistent with~~ the ~~fiscal year~~implied $596.4 million equity value for 100% of ~~Jefferies Group. We will file a transition report on Form 10-K for the transition period from January 1, 2018 to November 30, 2018.~~

Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes which are normally included in our ~~Annual Report on~~ Form 10-K. These financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items or items discussed herein) that management believes are necessary to fairly state results for the interim periods presented. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results of operations. For a detailed discussion about the Company’s significant accounting policies, see Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, included in our ~~Annual~~Transition Report on Form 10-K for the year ended ~~December 31, 2017~~November 30, 2018 ("~~2017~~2018 10-K").

The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate all of these estimates and assumptions. The most important of these estimates and assumptions relate to fair value measurements, compensation and benefits, asset impairment, the ability to realize deferred tax assets, the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions and contingencies. Although these and other estimates and assumptions are based on the best available information, actual results could be different from these estimates.

In the fourth quarter of 2018, we changed our fiscal year end from a calendar year basis to a fiscal year ending on November 30, consistent with the fiscal year of Jefferies Group. Jefferies Group has a November 30 year-end, which it retains for standalone reporting purposes. ~~We reflect~~Prior to the fourth quarter of 2018, because our fiscal year end was December 31, we reflected Jefferies Group in our consolidated financial statements utilizing a one month lag. We have reviewed Jefferies Group's business and internal operating results for the month of September 2018 for the purpose of evaluating whether financial statement disclosure or adjustments are required in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and we have concluded that no additional disclosures or adjustments are warranted. In connection with ~~the planned~~our change ~~of our~~in fiscal ~~year-end~~year end to November 30, we ~~also plan to eliminate~~eliminated the one month lag utilized to reflect Jefferies Group results ~~in our consolidated financial statements, starting~~beginning with ~~a transition report on Form 10-K for~~ the ~~transition period from January 1, 2018 to November 30,~~fourth quarter of 2018.

During the third quarter of 2019, Jefferies Group has reclassified the presentation of certain other fees, primarily related to prime brokerage services offered to clients. These fees were previously presented as Other revenues in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and are now presented within Commissions and other fees. Previously reported results are presented on a comparable basis. This change had the impact of increasing Commissions and other fees and reducing Other revenues by $7.2 million and $20.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, ~~other than the following, there were~~respectively. There is no ~~significant updates made to the Company’s significant accounting policies. The accounting policy changes are attributable to the adoption~~impact on Total revenues as a result of ~~the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") guidance on Revenue from Contracts with Customers (the "new revenue standard"). These revenue recognition policy updates are applied prospectively~~this change in our financial statements from January 1, 2018 forward using the modified retrospective approach. Reported financial information for the historical comparable periods were not revised and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect during the historical periods.presentation.

~~Revenue Recognition Policies~~

~~Investment Banking Revenues:~~

~~Advisory fees from mergers and acquisitions engagements are recognized at a point in time when the related transaction is completed.~~

Expenses associated with investment banking advisory engagements are deferred only to the extent they are explicitly reimbursable by the client and the related revenue is recognized at a point in time. All other investment banking advisory related expenses, including expenses incurred related to restructuring advisory engagements, are expensed as incurred.

All investment banking expenses are recognized within their respective expense category in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and any expenses reimbursed by clients are recognized as Investment banking revenues.

~~Asset Management Fees:~~

~~Performance fee revenue is generally recognized only at the end of the performance period to the extent that the benchmark return has been met.~~

~~See Accounting Developments - Adopted Accounting Standards below and Note 17 for further information.~~

~~Changes to the Consolidated Statements of Operations~~

Manufacturing revenues, which were previously reported within Other revenues, are now reported separately in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Manufacturing revenues are primarily from Idaho Timber, which manufactures and distributes an extensive range of quality wood products to markets across North America. Idaho Timber's primary business consists of the sale of lumber that is manufactured or remanufactured at one of its locations. Agreements with customers for these sales specify the

type, quantity and price of products to be delivered as well as the delivery date and payment terms. The transaction price is fixed at the time of sale and revenue is generally recognized when the customer takes control of the product.

We have reorganized the presentation of our gains and losses generated from our capital invested in asset management funds. This was previously presented as Other revenues and is now presented within Principal transactions revenues. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, this resulted in a decrease to Principal transactions revenues of $11.3 million and an increase to Other revenues of $11.3 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, this resulted in a decrease to Principal transactions revenues of $12.2 million and an increase to Other revenues of $12.2 million.

Receivables

At ~~September~~August 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018, ~~and December 31, 2017,~~ Receivables include receivables from brokers, dealers and clearing organizations of ~~$2,878.5~~$2,931.0 million and ~~$2,635.2~~$3,223.7 million, respectively, and receivables from customers of securities operations of ~~$1,951.8~~$1,686.2 million and ~~$1,563.8~~$2,017.1 million, respectively.

Our subsidiary, Foursight Capital, had auto loan receivables of $720.8 million and $648.7 million at August 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018, respectively. Based primarily on Beacon credit scores, Foursight Capital classifies its auto loan receivables

as prime, near-prime and sub-prime based on the perceived credit risk at origination and generally considers prime receivables as those with a Beacon score of 680 and above, near-prime with scores between 620 and 679 and sub-prime with scores below 620. The credit quality classification at August 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018 was approximately 15% and 13% prime, 54% and 57% near-prime and 31% and 30% sub-prime, respectively.

Payables, expense accruals and other liabilities

At ~~September~~August 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018, ~~and December 31, 2017,~~ Payables, expense accruals and other liabilities include payables to brokers, dealers and clearing organizations of ~~$1,913.3~~$2,253.0 million and ~~$2,228.9~~$2,465.6 million, respectively, and payables to customers of securities operations of ~~$3,187.6~~$3,599.6 million and ~~$2,664.0~~$3,176.7 million, respectively.

In June 2019, we entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement ("MIPA") which ~~settled subsequent~~provided for each of the owners of National Beef to ~~quarter end.~~

~~Accounting Developments - Adopted Accounting Standards~~

~~Revenue Recognition.~~ ~~In May 2014,~~purchase, in the ~~FASB issued new guidance that defines how companies report revenues~~aggregate, 100% of the ownership interests in Iowa Premium, LLC ("Iowa Premium"). The funds used to acquire Iowa Premium were provided by way of a permitted distribution from ~~contracts with customers,~~National Beef to its owners, of which our proportionate share was approximately $49.0 million.The distribution from National Beef and ~~also requires enhanced disclosures. The core principle~~the acquisition of guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. We adopted the guidance as of January 1, 2018 and recognized an increase of $17.8 million after-tax to beginning retained earnings as the cumulative effect of adoption of accounting standards. The increase primarily relates to the recognition of $24.3 million of revenue previously deferred from the sale of real estate to HomeFed in 2014, offset by a decrease of $6.1 million related to Jefferies Group. For Jefferies Group, the impact of adoption primarily related to investment banking expenses that were deferred as of December 31, 2017 under the previously existing accounting guidance, which would have been expensed in prior periods under the new revenue standard and investment banking revenues that were previously recognized in prior periods, which would have been deferred as of December 31, 2017 under the new revenue standard. We elected to adopt the new guidance using a modified retrospective approach applied to contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Accordingly, the new revenue standard is applied prospectivelyIowa Premium are included in our financial statements from January 1, 2018 forward and reported financial information for historical comparable periods is not revised and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect during those historical periods.

The new revenue standard does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including loans and securities that are accounted for under other GAAP, and as a result, did not have an impact on the elements of our Consolidated Statements of Operations most closely associated with financial instruments, including Principal transactions revenues, Interest income and Interest expense. The new revenue standard primarily impacts Jefferies Group's revenue recognition and presentation accounting policies as follows:

• ~~Investment Banking Revenues.~~ Advisory fees from mergers and acquisitions engagements are recognized at a point in time when the related transaction is completed, as the performance obligation is to successfully broker a specific transaction.

• ~~Certain Capital Markets Revenues.~~ Revenues associated with price stabilization activities as part of a securities underwriting were historically recognized as part of Investment banking revenues. Under the new revenue standard, revenues from these activities are recognized within Principal transactions revenues, as these revenues are not considered to be within the scope of the new standard.

~~• Investment Banking Advisory Expenses.~~ Historically, expenses associated with investment banking advisory assignments were deferred until reimbursed by the client, the related fee revenue is recognized or the engagement is otherwise concluded. Under the new revenue standard, expenses are deferred only to the extent they are explicitly reimbursable by the client and the related revenue is recognized at a point in time. All other investment banking advisory related expenses, including expenses incurred related to restructuring assignments, are expensed as incurred.

• ~~Investment Banking Underwriting and Advisory Expenses.~~ Expenses have historically been recorded net of client reimbursements and/or netted against revenues. Under the new revenue standard, all investment banking expenses will be recognized within their respective expense category in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and any expense reimbursements will be recognized as Investment banking revenues (i.e., expenses are no longer recorded net of client reimbursements and are not netted against revenues).

• ~~Asset Management Fees.~~ In certain asset management fee arrangements, Jefferies Group and LAM receive performance-based fees, which vary with performance or, in certain cases, are earned when the return on assets under management exceed certain benchmark returns or other performance targets. Historically, performance fees have been accrued (or reversed) quarterly based on measuring performance to date versus any relevant benchmark return hurdles stated in the investment management agreement. Under the new revenue standard, performance fees are considered variable as they are subject to fluctuation (e.g., based on market performance) and/or are contingent on a future event during the measurement period (e.g., exceeding a specified benchmark index) and are recognized only to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty is resolved. Accordingly, performance fee revenue will generally be recognized only at the end of the performance period to the extent that the benchmark return has been met.

There was no significant impact as a result of applying the new revenue standard to our consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, except as it relates to the presentation of Jefferies Group's investment banking expenses. The table below presents the impact of applying the new revenue recognition standard to the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 as a result of the change in presentation of investment banking expenses (in thousands):

~~Financial Instruments.~~ In January 2016, the FASB issued new guidance that affects the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We have adopted the new guidance as of January 1, 2018 with a cumulative effect increase to opening retained earnings of $27.6 million and a corresponding decrease to Accumulated other comprehensive income. The opening retained earnings adjustment is to recognize the unrealized gains we had for available for sale equity securities. Beginning in 2018, these available for sale equity securities are now reported as part of Trading assets, at fair value within the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Early adoption was permitted for the accounting guidance on financial liabilities under the fair value option and we adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2016. The adoption of the guidance on financial liabilities under the fair value option did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

~~Retirement Benefits.~~ In March 2017, the FASB issued new guidance for improving the presentation of net periodic pension costs in the statement of operations. The update also allows the service cost to be eligible for capitalization, when applicable. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2018 and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. The adoption of this guidance resulted in the following adjustments to the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017: a decrease of $0.9 million and $2.6 million, respectively, to Compensation and benefits expenses and an increase to Selling, general and other expenses of $0.9 million and $2.6 million, respectively.

~~Cash Flow Classifications.~~ In August 2016, the FASB issued new guidance to reduce the diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The guidance adds or clarifies guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. In November 2016, the FASB issued new guidance on restricted cash. The guidance requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2018. Prior periods were retrospectively adjusted to conform to the current period presentation. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on our Consolidated StatementsStatement of Cash ~~Flows. Upon adoption, we recorded an increase of $49.3 million in Net cash provided by operating activities and a decrease of $6.7 million in Net cash provided by investing activities~~Flows for the nine months ended ~~September 30, 2017 related~~August 31, 2019. Immediately following the acquisition, we contributed our ownership interest in Iowa Premium to ~~reclassifying the changes in our restricted cash balance from operating and~~National Beef, which was a non-cash investing ~~activities to the cash and cash equivalent balances within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.~~

~~Compensation.~~ In May 2017, the FASB issued new guidance providing clarity and reducing diversity in practice and cost and complexity when accounting for a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2018 and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

~~Fair Value Measurement.~~ In August 2018, the FASB issued new guidance to improve the effectiveness of disclosure requirements on fair value measurement by eliminating certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements for all entities, requiring public entities to disclose certain new information and modifying some disclosure requirements. We early adopted this guidance in the third quarter of 2018 and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Developments - Accounting Standards to be Adopted in Future Periods

Leases. In February 2016, the ~~FASB~~Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued new guidance that affects the accounting and disclosure requirements for leases. The FASB requires the recognition of all leases that are longer than one year onto the balance sheet, which will result in the recognition of a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability. The right of use asset and lease liability will be measured initially using the present value of the remaining rental payments. ~~A significant portion of the~~The population of contracts that will be subject to recognition on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition ~~have~~has been identified; however, ~~their~~the initial measurement of the contracts still remains under evaluation. We are currently modifying certain of our lease accounting systems to enable us to comply with the accounting requirements of this guidance. In July 2018, the FASB issued additional guidance on leases which allows an entity to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings upon adoption. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We plan on adopting the lease standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 with a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings in the period of adoption. We are currently evaluating the impact ~~this~~of the new guidance ~~will have~~ on our consolidated financial statements.

Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. In June 2016, the FASB issued new guidance for estimating credit losses on certain types of financial instruments by introducing an approach based on expected losses. The guidance is effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. We are currently evaluating the impact ~~this~~of the new guidance ~~will have~~ on our consolidated financial statements.

Goodwill. In January 2017, the FASB issued new guidance for simplifying goodwill impairment testing. The guidance is effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. We do not believe the new guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Derivatives and ~~hedging.~~ Hedging. In August 2017, the FASB issued new guidance to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity's risk management activities in its financial statements. The guidance is effective in the first quarter of fiscal ~~2020 and early adoption is permitted.~~2020. We do not believe the new guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Defined Benefit Plans. In August 2018, the FASB issued new guidance to improve the effectiveness of disclosure requirements on defined benefit pension plans and other post-retirement plans. The guidance is effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. We do not believe the new guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Internal-Use Software. In August 2018, the FASB issued new guidance which amends the definition of a hosting arrangement and requires that the customer in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract capitalize certain implementation costs as if the arrangement was an internal-use software project. The guidance is effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Consolidation. In October 2018, the FASB issued new guidance which requires indirect interests held through related parties under common control arrangements be considered on a proportional basis for determining whether fees paid to decision makers and service providers are variable interests. The guidance is effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

As of January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the FASB's new guidance that affects the accounting for equity investments and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. At September 30, 2018, equity investments are primarily classified as Trading assets, at fair value and the change in fair value of equity securities is now recognized through the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 2 for additional information.

The following is a description of the valuation basis, including valuation techniques and inputs, used in measuring our financial assets and liabilities that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis:

Corporate Equity Securities

•

Exchange-Traded Equity Securities: Exchange-traded equity securities are measured based on quoted closing exchange prices, which are generally obtained from external pricing services, and are categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. To the extent these securities are actively traded, valuation adjustments are not applied.

•

Non-Exchange-Traded Equity Securities: Non-exchange-traded equity securities are measured primarily using broker quotations, pricing data from external pricing services and prices observed from recently executed market transactions and are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Where such information is not available, non-exchange-traded equity securities are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and measured using valuation techniques involving

~~Exchange Traded Equity Securities:~~ Exchange traded equity securities are measured based on quoted closing exchange prices, which are generally obtained from external pricing services, and are categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

~~Non-Exchange Traded Equity Securities~~: Non-exchange traded equity securities are measured primarily using broker quotations, pricing data from external pricing services and prices observed from recently executed market transactions and are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Where such information is not available, non-exchange traded equity securities are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and measured using valuation techniques involving quoted prices of or market data for comparable companies, similar company ratios and multiples (e.g., price/Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), price/book value), discounted cash flow analyses and transaction prices observed from subsequent financing or capital issuance by Jefferies Group. When using pricing data of comparable companies, judgment must be applied to adjust the pricing data to account for differences between the measured security and the comparable security (e.g., issuer market capitalization, yield, dividend rate, geographical concentration).

•

Equity Warrants: Non-exchange-traded equity warrants are measured primarily using pricing data from external pricing services, prices observed from recently executed market transactions and broker quotations and are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Where such information is not available, non-exchange-traded equity warrants are generally categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and are measured using the Black-Scholes model with key inputs impacting the valuation including the underlying security price, implied volatility, dividend yield, interest rate curve, strike price and maturity date.

Corporate Debt Securities

•

Investment Grade Corporate Bonds: Investment grade corporate bonds are measured primarily using pricing data from external pricing services and broker quotations, where available, prices observed from recently executed market transactions and bond spreads or credit default swap spreads of the issuer adjusted for basis differences between the swap curve and the bond curve. Investment grade corporate bonds measured using these valuation methods are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. If broker quotes, pricing data or spread data is not available, alternative valuation techniques are used including cash flow models incorporating interest rate curves, single name or index credit default swap curves for comparable issuers and recovery rate assumptions. Investment grade corporate bonds measured using alternative valuation techniques are categorized within Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and are a limited portion of our investment grade corporate bonds.

•

High Yield Corporate and Convertible Bonds: A significant portion of our high yield corporate and convertible bonds are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and are measured primarily using broker quotations and pricing data from external pricing services, where available, and prices observed from recently executed market transactions of institutional size. Where pricing data is less observable, valuations are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and are based on pending transactions involving the issuer or comparable issuers, prices implied from an issuer's subsequent financing or recapitalization, models incorporating financial ratios and projected cash flows of the issuer and market prices for comparable issuers.

Collateralized Debt Obligations and Collateralized Loan Obligations

Collateralized ~~Debt Obligations~~debt obligations ("CDOs") and ~~Collateralized Loan Obligations~~collateralized loan obligations ("CLOs") are measured based on prices observed from recently executed market transactions of the same or similar security or based on valuations received from ~~third party~~third-party brokers or data providers and are categorized within Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the observability and significance of the pricing inputs. Valuation that is based on recently executed market transactions of similar securities incorporates additional review and analysis of pricing inputs and comparability criteria, including, but not limited to, collateral type, tranche type, rating, origination year, prepayment rates, default rates and loss severity.

U.S. Government and Federal Agency Securities


•	U.S. Treasury Securities: U.S. Treasury securities are measured based on quoted market prices obtained from external pricing services and categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Agency Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities: Agency residential mortgage-backed securities include mortgage pass-through securities (fixed and adjustable rate), collateralized mortgage obligations and principal-only and interest-only (including inverse interest-only) securities. Agency residential mortgage-backed securities are generally measured using recent transactions, pricing data from external pricing services or expected future cash flow techniques that incorporate prepayment models and other prepayment assumptions to amortize the underlying mortgage loan collateral and are categorized within Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. We use prices observed from recently executed transactions to develop market-clearing spread and yield curve assumptions. Valuation inputs with regard to the underlying collateral incorporate factors such as weighted average coupon, loan-to-value, credit scores, geographic location, maximum and average loan size, originator, servicer and weighted average loan age.

•

Non-Agency Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities: The fair value of non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities is determined primarily using discounted cash flow methodologies and securities are categorized within Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy based on the observability and significance of the pricing inputs used. Performance attributes of the underlying mortgage loans are evaluated to estimate pricing inputs, such as prepayment rates, default rates and the severity of credit losses. Attributes of the underlying mortgage loans that affect the pricing inputs include, but are not limited to, weighted average coupon; average and maximum loan size; loan-to-value; credit scores; documentation type; geographic location; weighted average loan age; originator; servicer; historical prepayment, default and loss severity experience of the mortgage loan pool; and delinquency rate. Yield curves used in the discounted cash flow models are based on observed market prices for comparable securities and published interest rate data to estimate market yields. In addition, broker quotes, where available, are also referenced to compare prices primarily on interest-only securities.

Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities

•

Agency Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities: Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA") project loan bonds are measured based on inputs corroborated from and benchmarked to observed prices of recent securitization transactions of similar securities with adjustments incorporating an evaluation of various factors, including prepayment speeds, default rates and cash flow structures, as well as the likelihood of pricing levels in the current market environment. Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") Delegated Underwriting and Servicing ("DUS") mortgage-backed securities are generally measured by using prices observed from recently executed market transactions to estimate market-clearing spread levels for purposes of estimating fair value. GNMA project loan bonds and FNMA DUS mortgage-backed securities are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Other Asset-Backed Securities

Other asset-backed securities include, but are not limited to, securities backed by auto loans, credit card receivables, student loans and other consumer loans and are categorized within Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Valuations are primarily determined using pricing data obtained from external pricing services, broker quotes and prices observed from recently executed market transactions. In addition, recent transaction data from comparable deals is deployed to develop market clearing yields and cumulative loss assumptions. The cumulative loss assumptions are based on the analysis of the underlying collateral and comparisons to earlier deals from the same issuer to gauge the relative performance of the deal.

Loans and Other Receivables

•

Corporate Loans: Corporate loans categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are measured based on market consensus pricing service quotations. Where available, market price quotations from external pricing services are reviewed to ensure they are supported by transaction data. Corporate loans categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are measured based on price quotations that are considered to be less transparent, market prices for debt securities of the same creditor and estimates of future cash flows incorporating assumptions regarding creditor default and recovery rates and consideration of the issuer's capital structure.

Derivatives

•

Listed Derivative Contracts: Listed derivative contracts that are actively traded are measured based on quoted exchange prices, broker quotes or vanilla option valuation models, such as Black-Scholes, using observable valuation inputs from the principal market or consensus pricing services. Exchange quotes and/or valuation inputs are generally obtained from external vendors and pricing services. Broker quotes are validated directly through observable and tradeable quotes. Listed derivative contracts that use unadjusted exchange close prices are generally categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. All other listed derivative contracts are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

•

Over-the-Counter ("OTC") Derivative Contracts: OTC derivative contracts are generally valued using models, whose inputs reflect assumptions that we believe market participants would use in valuing the derivative in a current transaction. Where available, valuation inputs are calibrated from observable market data. For many OTC derivative contracts, the valuation models do not involve material subjectivity as the methodologies do not entail significant judgment and the inputs to valuation models do not involve a high degree of subjectivity as the valuation model inputs are readily observable or can be derived from actively quoted markets. OTC derivative contracts are primarily categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy given the observability and significance of the inputs to the valuation models. Where significant inputs to the valuation are unobservable, derivative instruments are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

OTC options include OTC equity, foreign exchange, interest rate and commodity options measured using various valuation models, such as Black-Scholes, with key inputs including the underlying security price, foreign exchange spot rate, commodity price, implied volatility, dividend yield, interest rate curve, strike price and maturity date. Discounted cash flow models are utilized to measure certain OTC derivative contracts including the valuations of our interest rate swaps, which incorporate observable inputs related to interest rate curves, valuations of our foreign exchange forwards and swaps, which incorporate observable inputs related to foreign currency spot rates and forward curves and valuations of our commodity swaps and forwards, which incorporate observable inputs related to commodity spot prices and forward curves. Discounted cash flow models are also utilized to measure certain variable funding note swaps, which are backed by CLOs and incorporate constant prepayment rate, constant default rate and loss severity assumptions. Credit default swaps include both index and single-name credit default swaps. ~~External prices are~~Where available, ~~as inputs~~external data is used in measuring index credit default swaps and single-name credit default swaps. For commodity and equity total return swaps, market prices are generally observable for the underlying asset and used as the basis for measuring the fair value of the derivative contracts. Total return swaps executed on other underlyings are measured based on valuations received from external pricing services.

Investments at Fair Value

Investments at fair value ~~based on NAV~~ include investments in hedge funds, fund of funds and private equity funds, which are measured at the NAV of the funds, provided by the fund managers and are excluded from the fair value hierarchy. Investments at fair value also include direct equity investments in private companies, which are measured at fair value using valuation techniques involving quoted prices of or market data for comparable companies, similar company ratios and multiples (e.g., price/EBITDA, price/book

value), discounted cash flow analyses, contingent claims analysis and transaction prices observed for subsequent financing or capital issuance by the company. Direct equity investments in private companies are categorized within Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Additionally, investments at fair value include investments in insurance contracts relating to Jefferies Group's defined benefit plan in Germany.

Investment in FXCM

~~FXCM Group, LLC ("FXCM") is a provider of online foreign exchange trading services. In January 2015, we entered into a credit agreement with~~Our investment in FXCM and ~~provided FXCM~~associated companies consists of a ~~$300 million~~ senior secured term loan due ~~January 2017 (the term~~February 15, 2021 ($71.6 million principal outstanding at August 31, 2019), a 50% voting interest in FXCM and a majority of ~~which was subsequently extended to January 2019), with rights to a variable proportion of certain future~~all distributions in ~~connection with an FXCM sale~~respect of assets or certain other events, and to require a sale of FXCM beginning in January 2018. The loan had an initial interest rate of 10% per annum, increasing by 1.5% per annum each quarter, not to exceed 20.5% per annum. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, interest accrued at 20.5% per annum. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we received $15.4 million of principal and interest from FXCM and $70.6 million of principal remained outstanding under the term loan as of September 30, 2018. Through September 30, 2018, we have received cumulatively $347.0 million of principal, interest and fees from our initial $279.0 million investment in FXCM.

equity of FXCM. Our investment in the FXCM term loan is reported within Trading assets, at fair value in our Consolidated Statements of Financial ~~Condition,~~Condition. We classify our equity investment in FXCM in our August 31, 2019 and ~~unrealized and realized changes in value, including the component related to interest income on the loan, is included within Principal transactions revenues in the~~November 30, 2018 Consolidated Statements of ~~Operations. We recorded gains related~~Financial Condition as Loans to ~~the term loan~~and investments in Principal transactions revenues of $1.3 million and $16.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and $2.3 million and $17.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.

~~On September 1, 2016,~~associated companies, as we Global Brokerage Inc. ("Global Brokerage") and Global Brokerage Holdings, LLC ("Global Brokerage Holdings") entered into an agreement that amended the terms of our loan and associated rights. On November 10, 2017, the terms of our loan and associated rights were amended further. Among other changes, the amendments extended the maturity of the term loan to January 2019; and exchanged our rights for a 50% voting interest in FXCM, and up to 75% of all distributions. Through these amendments, we also gained the right to appoint three of six board members for FXCM. We have the right, as does Global Brokerage Holdings, the owner of the remaining 50% of FXCM voting interest that is not held by Jefferies, to require a sale of FXCM beginning in January 2018. Distributions to Jefferies under the amended agreements are now: 100% until amounts due under the loan are repaid; 50% of the next $350 million; then 90% of the next $600 million; and 60% of all amounts thereafter.

~~Through the amendments, we gained~~ the ability to significantly influence FXCM through our seats on the board of directors. As a result, we classify our equity investment in FXCM in our September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as Loans to and investments in associated companies. We account for our equity interest on a one month lag. As the amendments only extended the maturity of the term loan, we continue to use the fair value option and classify our term loan within Trading assets, at fair value.

FXCM is considered a variable interest entity ("VIE") and our term loan and equity ownership are variable interests. We have determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of FXCM because we do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact FXCM's performance. Therefore, we do not consolidate FXCM and we account for our equity interest as an investment in an associated company.

Our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our involvement with FXCM is limited to the carrying value of the term loan ($73.8 million) and the investment in associated company ($139.0 million), which totaled $212.8 million at September 30, 2018.

We estimate the fair value of our term loan by using a valuation model with inputs including management’s assumptions concerning the amount and timing of expected cash flows, the loan’s implied credit rating and effective yield. Because of these inputs and the degree of judgment involved, we have categorized our term loan within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

~~Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements~~Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell

~~As described further in Note 9, in the third quarter~~

Securities purchased under agreements to resell may include embedded call features. The valuation of ~~2018 we engaged an independent valuation firm to assist management in estimating~~these instruments is based

on review of expected future cash flows, interest rates, funding spreads and the fair value of ~~our equity investment in Golden Queen. Our estimate of fair value was based on a discounted cash flow analysis and is~~the underlying collateral. Securities

purchased under agreements to resell are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value ~~hierarchy. The discounted cash flow valuation model used inputs~~

including management's projections of future Golden Queen cash flows and a discount rate of 12%. The estimated fair value of our equity investment in Golden Queen was $62.3 million, which was $47.9 million lower than our prior carrying value at the endhierarchy due to limited observability of the ~~second quarter 2018. As a result, an impairment charge of $47.9 million was recorded in Income (loss) related to associated companies in the three~~

embedded derivative and ~~nine months ended September 30, 2018.~~unobservable credit spreads.

Additionally, in the first quarter of 2017 we engaged an independent valuation firm to assist management in estimating the fair value of our equity investment in FXCM. Our first quarter estimate of fair value was based on a discounted cash flow and comparable public company analysis and is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The discounted cash flow valuation model used inputs including management's projections of future FXCM cash flows and a discount rate of approximately 15%. The comparable public company model used market data for comparable companies including a price to EBITDA multiple of 5.4 and a price to revenue multiple of 1.5. The estimated fair value of our equity investment in FXCM was $186.7 million, which was $130.2 million lower than the carrying value at the end of the first quarter 2017. As a result, an impairment charge of $130.2 million was recorded in Income (loss) related to associated companies in the first quarter of 2017.

~~Other Secured Financings~~

Other secured financings that are accounted for at fair value include notes issued by consolidated VIEs, which are categorized within Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Fair value is based on recent transaction prices for similar assets.

~~Short-term Borrowings/~~Long-term Debt

Short-term borrowings that are accounted for at fair value include equity-linked notes, which are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as the fair value is based on the price of the underlying equity security. Long-term debt includes variable rate, fixed-to-floating rate, ~~CMS (constant~~constant maturity ~~swap),~~swap, digital and Bermudan structured notes. These are valued using various valuation models that incorporate Jefferies Group's own credit spread, market price quotations from external pricing sources referencing the appropriate interest rate curves, volatilities and other inputs as well as prices for transactions in a given note during the period. Long-term debt notes are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy where market trades have been observed during the quarter, otherwise they are categorized within Level 3.

Analysis of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities for the three months ended August 31, 2019

During the three months ended August 31, 2019, transfers of assets of $79.0 million from Level 2 to Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are primarily attributed to:

Investments at fair value of $35.1 million and loans and other receivables of $23.7 million due to reduced pricing transparency.

During the three months ended August 31, 2019, transfers of assets of $70.3 million from Level 3 to Level 2 are primarily attributed to:

Loans and other receivables of $36.0 million and corporate equity securities of $22.1 million due to greater pricing transparency supporting classification into Level 2.

During the three months ended August 31, 2019, transfers of liabilities of $43.5 million from Level 2 to Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are primarily attributed to:

Net derivatives of $17.6 million, loans of $13.3 million and structured notes of $11.0 million due to reduced market and pricing transparency.

During the three months ended August 31, 2019, transfers of liabilities of $23.8 million from Level 3 to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are primarily attributed to:

Structured notes of $21.6 million due to greater market transparency.

Net losses on Level 3 assets were $150.3 million and net gains on Level 3 liabilities were $12.8 million for the three months ended August 31, 2019. Net losses on Level 3 assets were primarily due to decreased market values across investments at fair value, corporate debt securities, loans and other receivables and commercial mortgage-backed securities, partially offset by increased market values in the FXCM term loan and across corporate equity securities. Net gains on Level 3 liabilities were primarily due to decreased market values across certain derivatives.

The following is a summary of changes in fair value of our financial assets and liabilities that have been categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy for the nine months ended August 31, 2019 (in thousands):

Analysis of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities for the three months ended September 30, 2018

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, transfers of assets of $13.6 million from Level 2 to Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are primarily attributed to:

Other asset-backed securities of $3.9 million, residential mortgage-backed securities of $2.9 million and commercial mortgage-backed securities of $2.6 million due to reduced pricing transparency.

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, transfers of assets of $13.8 million from Level 3 to Level 2 are primarily attributed to:

Commercial mortgage-backed securities of $4.6 million, CDOs and CLOs of $3.7 million and corporate equity securities of $2.6 million due to greater pricing transparency supporting classification into Level 2.

Net gains on Level 3 assets were $11.7 million and net losses on Level 3 liabilities were $4.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Net gains on Level 3 assets were primarily due to an increased valuation of our FXCM term loan, certain

investments at fair value and increased market values in corporate equity securities. Net losses on Level 3 liabilities were primarily due to increased valuations of certain structured notes.

Analysis of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, transfers of assets of $49.1 million from Level 2 to Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are primarily attributed to:

Commercial mortgage-backed securities of $17.0 million, loans and other receivables of $15.3 million and CDOs and CLOs of $8.7 million due to reduced pricing transparency.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, transfers of assets of $10.0 million from Level 3 to Level 2 are primarily attributed to:

Residential mortgage-backed securities of $4.6 million and corporate equity securities of $2.5 million due to greater pricing transparency supporting classification into Level 2.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, there were transfers of structured notes of $107.4 million from Level 2 to Level 3 due to a decrease in market observability.

Net gains on Level 3 assets were $29.8 million and net gains on Level 3 liabilities were $26.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Net gains on Level 3 assets were primarily due to an increased valuation of our FXCM term loan and increased market values in corporate equity securities, partially offset by decreased market values across other asset-backed securities,

residential mortgage-backed securities, CDOs and CLOs and certain loans and other receivables. Net gains on Level 3 liabilities were primarily due to decreased valuations of certain structured notes.

~~Analysis of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities for the three months ended September 30, 2017~~

~~During the three months ended September 30, 2017, transfers of assets of $63.5 million from Level 2 to Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are primarily attributed to:~~

~~Other asset-backed securities of $46.4 million due to a lack of observable market transactions.~~

~~During the three months ended September 30, 2017, transfers of assets of $35.7 million from Level 3 to Level 2 are primarily attributed to:~~

~~Residential mortgage-backed securities of $14.6 million and other asset-backed securities of $13.5 million due to greater pricing transparency supporting classification into Level 2.~~

Net gains on Level 3 assets were $1.5 million and net gains on Level 3 liabilities were $6.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Net gains on Level 3 assets were primarily due to increased valuations of our FXCM term loan, loans and other receivables, corporate equity securities and certain investments at fair value, partially offset by decreased valuations of other asset-backed securities, CDOs and CLOs and corporate debt securities. Net gains on Level 3 liabilities were primarily due to increased valuations of certain net derivatives and decreased valuations of certain loans.

~~Analysis of Level 3 Assets and Liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017~~

~~During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, transfers of assets of $30.9 million from Level 2 to Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are primarily attributed to:~~

~~CDOs and CLOs of $14.0 million and corporate debt securities of $8.1 million due to a lack of observable market transactions.~~

~~During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, transfers of assets of $44.0 million from Level 3 to Level 2 are primarily attributed to:~~

~~Loans and other receivables of $28.3 million due to a greater pricing transparency supporting classification into Level 2.~~

Net gains on Level 3 assets were $17.1 million and net gains on Level 3 liabilities were $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Net gains on Level 3 assets were primarily due to increased valuations of our FXCM term loan, certain loans and other receivables and certain investments at fair value, partially offset by decreased valuations of other asset-backed securities and CDOs and CLOs. Net gains on Level 3 liabilities were primarily due to increased valuations of certain net derivatives partially offset by increased valuations of certain loans.

Quantitative Information about Significant Unobservable Inputs used in Level 3 Fair Value Measurements

The tables below present information on the valuation techniques, significant unobservable inputs and their ranges for our financial assets and liabilities, subject to threshold levels related to the market value of the positions held, measured at fair value on a recurring basis with a significant Level 3 balance. The range of unobservable inputs could differ significantly across different firms given the range of products across different firms in the financial services sector. The inputs are not representative of the inputs that could have been used in the valuation of any one financial instrument (i.e., the input used for valuing one financial instrument within a particular class of financial instruments may not be appropriate for valuing other financial instruments within that given class). Additionally, the ranges of inputs presented below should not be construed to represent uncertainty regarding the fair values of our financial instruments; rather, the range of inputs is reflective of the differences in the underlying characteristics of the financial instruments in each category.

For certain categories, we have provided a weighted average of the inputs allocated based on the fair values of the financial instruments comprising the category. We do not believe that the range or weighted average of the inputs is indicative of the reasonableness of uncertainty of our Level 3 fair values. The range and weighted average are driven by the individual financial instruments within each category and their relative distribution in the population. The disclosed inputs when compared with the inputs as disclosed in other periods should not be expected to necessarily be indicative of changes in our estimates of unobservable inputs for a particular financial instrument as the population of financial instruments comprising the category will vary from period to period based on purchases and sales of financial instruments during the period as well as transfers into and out of Level 3 each period.

Uncertainty of Fair Value Measurement ~~From~~from Use of Significant Unobservable Inputs

For recurring fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the uncertainty of the fair value measurement due to the use of significant unobservable inputs and interrelationships between those unobservable inputs (if any) are described below:

Non-exchange traded securities using comparable pricing valuation techniques. A significant increase (decrease) in the comparable asset price in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.

Corporate debt securities using a convertible bond model. A significant increase (decrease) in the bond discount rate/yield would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. A significant increase (decrease) in volatility would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.

~~Non-exchange traded~~Non-exchange-traded equity securities, corporate debt securities, loans and other receivables, ~~unfunded commitments, interest rate swaps, total return swaps,~~certain derivatives, residential mortgage-backed securities, other asset-backed securities, private equity securities, securities purchased under agreements to resell and structured notes using a market approach valuation technique. A significant increase (decrease) in the transaction level of a non-exchange-traded security, corporate debt security and private equity security would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. A significant increase (decrease) in the underlying stock price of the non-exchange traded securities would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. A significant increase (decrease) in the ~~credit spread of certain derivatives would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. A significant increase (decrease) in the~~ price of the private equity securities, ~~non-exchange traded~~non-exchange-traded securities, ~~corporate debt securities, unfunded commitments,~~ total return swaps, interest rate swaps, unfunded commitments, residential mortgage-backed securities, other asset-backed securities, loans and other receivables or structured notes would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. A significant increase (decrease) in the estimated recovery rates of the cash flow outcomes underlying the corporate debt securities or loans and other receivables would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. A significant increase (decrease) in the ~~bond discount rate/~~yield or duration, in isolation, of securities purchased under agreements to resell would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. ADepending on whether Jefferies Group is a receiver or (payer) of basis points upfront, a significant increase in basis points would result in a significant increase (decrease) in the ~~comparable asset price of the corporate debt securities in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower)~~ fair value ~~measurement.~~measurement of cross currency and interest rate swaps.

Loans and other receivables, CDOs and CLOs, commercial mortgage-backed securities, corporate debt and ~~other asset-backed~~private equity securities using scenario analysis. A significant increase (decrease) in the possible recovery rates of the cash flow outcomes underlying the ~~investment~~financial instrument would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement for the financial instrument. A significant increase (decrease) in the price of the ~~commercial mortgage-backed securities~~underlying stock price or underlying assets of the financial instruments would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. A significant increase (decrease) in the volatility of the underlying stock price would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. A significant increase (decrease) in the credit spread of the financial instrument would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. A significant increase (decrease) in the discount rate/yield underlying the investment would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. A significant increase (decrease) in the revenue growth underlying the investment would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.

CDOs and CLOs, residential ~~and~~mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed securities ~~and variable funding note swaps~~ using a discounted cash flow valuation technique. A significant increase (decrease) in isolation in the constant default rate, loss severity or cumulative loss rate would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. The impact of changes in the constant prepayment rate and duration would have differing impacts depending on the capital structure and type of security. A significant increase (decrease) in the discount rate/security yield would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.

Derivative equity options using an option/default rate model. A significant increase (decrease) in default probability would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.

Derivative equity options using volatility benchmarking. A significant increase (decrease) in volatility would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.

Investments at fair value using contingent claims analysis. A significant increase (decrease) in volatility would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. A significant increase (decrease) in duration would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.

FXCM term loan using a discounted cash flow valuation technique. A significant increase (decrease) in term based on the time to pay off the loan would result in a ~~higher (lower)~~lower (higher) fair value measurement.

Fair Value Option Election

We have elected the fair value option for all loans and loan commitments made by Jefferies Group's capital markets businesses. These loans and loan commitments include loans entered into by Jefferies Group's investment banking division in connection with client bridge financing and loan syndications, loans purchased by Jefferies Group's leveraged credit trading desk as part of its bank loan trading activities and mortgage and consumer loan commitments, purchases and fundings in connection with mortgage- and other

asset-backed securitization activities. Loans and loan commitments originated or purchased by Jefferies Group's leveraged credit and mortgage-backed businesses are managed on a fair value basis. Loans are included in Trading assets and loan commitments are included in Trading liabilities. The fair value option election is not applied to loans made to affiliate entities as such loans are entered into as part of ongoing, strategic business ventures. Loans to affiliate entities are included in Loans to and investments in

associated companies in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and are accounted for on an amortized cost basis. Jefferies Group has also elected the fair value option for certain of its structured notes and securities purchased under agreements to resell, which are managed by Jefferies Group's capital markets ~~business~~businesses and are included in Long-term debt and ~~Short-term borrowings~~Securities purchased under agreements to resell in the Consolidated Statements of Financial ~~Condition.~~Condition, respectively. Jefferies Group has elected the fair value option for certain financial instruments held by its subsidiaries as the investments are risk managed by Jefferies Group on a fair value basis. The fair value option ~~has also been~~may be elected for certain secured financings that arise in connection with Jefferies Group's securitization activities and other structured financings. Other secured financings, receivables from brokers, dealers and clearing organizations, receivables from customers of securities operations, payables to brokers, dealers and clearing organizations and payables to customers of securities operations, are accounted for at cost plus accrued interest rather than at fair value; however, the recorded amounts approximate fair value due to their liquid or short-term nature.

The following is a summary of Jefferies Group's gains (losses) due to changes in instrument specific credit risk on loans, other receivables and debt instruments and gains (losses) due to other changes in fair value on long-term debt ~~and short-term borrowings~~ measured at fair value under the fair value option (in thousands):

(1)	Interest income is recognized separately from other changes in fair value and is included in Interest income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.


(2)	Amounts include all loans and other receivables 90 days or greater past due by which contractual principal exceeds fair value of ~~$33.7~~$20.9 million and ~~$38.7~~$20.5 million at ~~September~~August 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018, ~~and December 31, 2017,~~ respectively.

The aggregate fair value of Jefferies Group's loans and other receivables on nonaccrual status and/or 90 days or greater past due was ~~$77.0~~$113.4 million and ~~$55.1~~$105.3 million at ~~September~~August 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018, ~~and December 31, 2017,~~ respectively, which includes loans and other receivables 90 days or greater past due of ~~$25.6~~$31.9 million and ~~$37.4~~$19.4 million at ~~September~~August 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018, ~~and December 31, 2017,~~ respectively.

Jefferies Group had elected the fair value option for its investment in KCG Holdings, Inc. ("KCG"). The change in the fair value of this investment aggregated $2.2 million and $93.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. Jefferies Group's investment in KCG was sold in July 2017.

As of December 31, 2017, we owned approximately 46.6 million common shares of HRG Group, Inc. ("HRG"), representing approximately 23% of HRG’s outstanding common shares, which were accounted for under the fair value option. On July 13, 2018, HRG merged into its 62% owned subsidiary, Spectrum Brands. Our approximately 23% owned interest in HRG thereby converted into approximately 14% of the outstanding shares of the re-named company, Spectrum Brands, which we account for under the fair value option. As of ~~September 30, 2018,~~August 31, 2019, we owned ~~approximately 7.5 million~~7,514,477 common shares of Spectrum Brands, representing approximately ~~14%~~15% of Spectrum Brands outstanding common shares. The shares are included in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at fair value of ~~$561.5~~$419.8 million and ~~$789.9~~$371.1 million at ~~September~~August 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018, ~~and December 31, 2017,~~ respectively. The shares were acquired at an aggregate cost of $475.6 million. The change in the fair value of our investment in Spectrum Brands/HRG aggregated ~~$(48.5)~~$24.0 million and ~~$(97.9)~~$(48.5) million for the three months ended August 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, ~~and 2017,~~ respectively, and ~~$(228.4)~~$48.8 million and ~~$2.3~~$(228.4) million for the nine months ended August 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, ~~and 2017,~~ respectively. As reported in its Form 10-Q, for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, Spectrum Brands' revenues were $2,358.1 million and $2,222.7 million, respectively; net income (loss) from continuing operations was $443.7 million and $(46.0) million, respectively; net income was $941.6 million and $249.2 million, respectively; and net income attributable to Spectrum Brands controlling interest was $847.7 million and $132.2 million, respectively. OneNaN of our officers currently serves as a director on Spectrum Brands board. In September 2019, the Jefferies Board of Directors approved a distribution to stockholders of Jefferies of these Spectrum Brands shares. Jefferies will distribute the 7,514,477 Spectrum Brands shares through a special pro rata dividend effective on October 11, 2019 to Jefferies stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 30, 2019. We recorded a $451.1 million dividend payable as of the September 16, 2019 declaration date, which was equal to the fair value of Spectrum Brands shares at that time.

We believe accounting for these investments at fair value better reflects the economics of these investments, and quoted market prices for these investments ~~provides~~provide an objectively determined fair value at each balance sheet date. Our investment in HomeFed, which iswas a publicly traded company, iswas accounted for under the equity method of accounting rather than the fair value option method. HomeFed’s common stock iswas not listed on any stock exchange, and price information for the common stock iswas not regularly quoted on any automated quotation system. It iswas traded in the over-the-counter market with high and low bid prices published by the ~~NASD OTC~~Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board Service; however, trading volume iswas minimal. For these reasons, we did not elect the fair value option for HomeFed.

Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value

Certain of our financial instruments are not carried at fair value but are recorded at amounts that approximate fair value due to their liquid or short-term nature and generally negligible credit risk. These financial assets include Cash and cash equivalents and Cash and securities segregated and on deposit for regulatory purposes or deposited with clearing and depository organizations and would generally be presented in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Cash and securities segregated and on deposit for regulatory purposes or deposited with clearing and depository organizations includes U.S. Treasury securities with a fair value of $35.0 million and $34.8 million at August 31, 2019 and ~~$99.7 million at September~~November 30, 2018, ~~and December 31, 2017,~~ respectively. ~~See Note 22 for additional information related to financial instruments not measured at fair value.~~

Note 4. Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative activities are recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition in Trading assets and Trading liabilities, net of cash paid or received under credit support agreements and on a net counterparty basis when a legally enforceable right to offset exists under a master netting agreement. Predominantly, Jefferies Group ~~and our Leucadia Asset Management businesses may enter~~enters into derivative transactions to satisfy the needs of its clients and to manage its own exposure to market and credit risks resulting from its trading activities. In addition, Jefferies Group applies hedge accounting to an interest rate swap that has been designated as a fair value hedge of the changes in fair value due to the benchmark interest rate for certain fixed rate senior long-term debt. See Notes 3 and 2019 for additional disclosures about derivative financial instruments.

Derivatives are subject to various risks similar to other financial instruments, including market, credit and operational risk. The risks of derivatives should not be viewed in isolation, but rather should be considered on an aggregate basis along with our other trading-related activities. Jefferies Group manages the risks associated with derivatives on an aggregate basis along with the risks associated with proprietary trading as part of its firm wide risk management policies.

In connection with Jefferies Group's derivative activities, Jefferies Group may enter into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. ("ISDA") master netting agreements or similar agreements with counterparties. ~~See Note 10 for additional information regarding the offsetting of derivative contracts.~~

The following ~~table presents~~tables present the fair value and related number of derivative contracts at August 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018 categorized by type of derivative contract ~~as reflected in~~and the ~~Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.~~platform on which these derivatives are transacted. The fair value of assets/liabilities represents our receivable/payable for derivative financial instruments, gross of counterparty netting and cash collateral received and pledged. The following tables also provide information regarding (1) the extent to which, under enforceable master netting arrangements, such balances are presented net in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as appropriate under GAAP and (2) the extent to which other rights of setoff associated with these arrangements exist and could have an effect on our financial position (in thousands, except contract amounts):

Net amounts per Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition (4)	$	166,775			$	1,127,653


(1)	Exchange-traded derivatives include derivatives executed on an organized exchange. Cleared OTC derivatives include derivatives executed bilaterally and subsequently novated to and cleared through central clearing counterparties. Bilateral OTC derivatives include derivatives executed and settled bilaterally without the use of an organized exchange or central clearing counterparty.

(2) Number of exchange-traded contracts may include open futures contracts. The unsettled fair value of these futures contracts is included in Receivables and Payables, expense accruals and other liabilities in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.


(3)	Amounts netted include both netting by counterparty and for cash collateral paid or received.


~~(2)~~(4)	We have not received or pledged additional collateral under master netting agreements and/or other credit support agreements that is eligible to be offset beyond what has been offset in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

~~(3)~~

Pursuant to a rule change by the London Clearing House in the first fiscal quarter of 2018, variation margin exchanged each day with this clearing organization on certain interest rate derivatives is characterized as settlement payments as opposed to cash posted as collateral. The impact of this rule change would have been a reduction in gross interest rate derivative assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2017 of approximately $800 million, and a corresponding decrease in counterparty and cash collateral netting, with no impact to our Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition.

The net gains (losses) on derivative contracts in the table above are one of a number of activities comprising Jefferies Group's business activities and are before consideration of economic hedging transactions, which generally offset the net gains (losses) included above. Jefferies Group substantially mitigates its exposure to market risk on its cash instruments through derivative contracts, which generally provide offsetting revenues, and Jefferies Group manages the risk associated with these contracts in the context of its overall risk management framework.

Contingent Features

Certain of Jefferies Group's derivative instruments contain provisions that require their debt to maintain an investment grade credit rating from each of the major credit rating agencies. If Jefferies Group's debt were to fall below investment grade, it would be in violation of these provisions and the counterparties to the derivative instruments could request immediate payment or demand immediate and ongoing full overnight collateralization on Jefferies Group's derivative instruments in liability positions. The following table presents the aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with such credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a liability position, the collateral amounts posted or received in the normal course of business and the potential collateral Jefferies Group would have been required to return and/or post additionally to its counterparties if the credit-risk-related contingent features underlying these agreements were triggered (in millions):

The gains and losses associated with the change in fair value of the derivatives are recorded in Other revenues.

Note 5. Collateralized Transactions

Jefferies Group enters into secured borrowing and lending arrangements to obtain collateral necessary to effect settlement, finance inventory positions, meet customer needs or re-lend as part of dealer operations. Jefferies Group monitors the fair value of the securities loaned and borrowed on a daily basis as compared with the related payable or receivable, and requests additional collateral or ~~return of~~returns excess collateral, as appropriate. Jefferies Group pledges financial instruments as collateral under repurchase agreements, securities lending agreements and other secured arrangements, including clearing arrangements. Jefferies Group's agreements with counterparties generally contain contractual provisions allowing the counterparty the right to sell or repledge the collateral. Pledged securities owned that can be sold or repledged by the counterparty are included in Financial instruments owned, at fair value and noted parenthetically as Securities pledged in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

The following tables set forth the carrying value of securities lending arrangements and repurchase agreements by class of collateral pledged and remaining contractual maturity (in thousands):

Jefferies Group receives securities as collateral under resale agreements, securities borrowing transactions and customer margin loans. Jefferies Group also receives securities as collateral in connection with securities-for-securities transactions in which it is the lender of securities. In many instances, Jefferies Group is permitted by contract to rehypothecate the securities received as collateral. These securities may be used to secure repurchase agreements, enter into securities lending transactions, satisfy margin requirements on derivative transactions or cover short positions. At ~~September~~August 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018, ~~and December 31, 2017,~~ the approximate fair value of securities received as collateral by Jefferies Group that may be sold or repledged was ~~$25.2~~$31.1 billion and ~~$27.1~~$23.1 billion, respectively. AAt August 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018, a substantial portion of ~~these~~the securities received by Jefferies Group have been sold or repledged.

Offsetting of Securities Financing Agreements

To manage its exposure to credit risk associated with securities financing transactions, Jefferies Group may enter into master netting agreements and collateral arrangements with counterparties. Generally, transactions are executed under standard industry agreements, including, but not limited to, master securities lending agreements (securities lending transactions) and master repurchase agreements (repurchase transactions).

The following table provides information regarding repurchase agreements and securities borrowing and lending arrangements that are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and (1) the extent to which, under enforceable master netting arrangements, such balances are presented net in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as appropriate under

GAAP and (2) the extent to which other rights of setoff associated with these arrangements exist and could have an effect on our consolidated financial position.

(1)

Under master netting agreements with its counterparties, Jefferies Group has the legal right of offset with a counterparty, which incorporates all of the counterparty’s outstanding rights and obligations under the arrangement. These balances reflect additional credit risk mitigation that is available by a counterparty in the event of a counterparty’s default, but which are not netted in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition because other netting provisions of GAAP are not met.


(2)	Includes securities received or paid under collateral arrangements with counterparties that could be liquidated in the event of a counterparty default and thus offset against a counterparty’s rights and obligations under the respective repurchase agreements or securities borrowing or lending arrangements.

(3)

At August 31, 2019, amounts include $5,473.0 million of securities borrowing arrangements, for which Jefferies Group has received securities collateral of $5,322.7 million, and $382.9 million of repurchase agreements, for which Jefferies Group has pledged securities collateral of $392.4 million, which are subject to master netting agreements, but Jefferies Group has not determined the agreements to be legally enforceable. At November 30, 2018, amounts include $4,825.7 million of securities borrowing arrangements, for which Jefferies Group has received securities collateral of $4,711.7 million, and $931.7 million of repurchase agreements, for which Jefferies Group has pledged securities collateral of $963.6 million, which are subject to master netting agreements, but Jefferies Group has not determined the agreements to be legally enforceable.

Cash and Securities Segregated and on Deposit for Regulatory Purposes or Deposited with Clearing and Depository Organizations

Cash and securities deposited with clearing and depository organizations and segregated in accordance with regulatory regulations totaled $658.3 million and $708.0 million at August 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018, respectively. Segregated cash and securities consist of deposits in accordance with Rule 15c3-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which subjects Jefferies LLC as a broker-dealer carrying customer accounts to requirements related to maintaining cash or qualified securities in segregated special reserve bank accounts for the exclusive benefit of its customers.

Note 6. Securitization Activities

Jefferies Group engages in securitization activities related to corporate loans, commercial mortgage loans, consumer loans and mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities. In securitization transactions, Jefferies Group transfers these assets to special purpose entities ("SPEs") and acts as the placement or structuring agent for the beneficial interests sold to investors by the SPE. A significant portion of the securitization transactions are the securitization of assets issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies. These SPEs generally meet the criteria of ~~VIEs;~~variable interest entities ("VIEs"); however, the SPEs are generally not consolidated as Jefferies Group is not considered the primary beneficiary for these SPEs.

Jefferies Group accounts for its securitization transactions as sales, provided it has relinquished control over the transferred assets. Transferred assets are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reflected in Principal transactions revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Operations prior to the identification and isolation for securitization. Subsequently, revenues recognized upon securitization are reflected as net underwriting revenues. Jefferies Group generally receives cash proceeds in connection with the transfer of assets to an SPE. Jefferies Group may, however, have continuing involvement with the transferred assets, which is limited to retaining one or more tranches of the securitization (primarily senior and subordinated debt securities in the form of mortgage- and other asset-backed securities or CLOs)~~, which~~. These securities are included in Trading assets in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and are generally initially categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. ~~Jefferies Group applies fair value accounting to the securities.~~

The following table presents activity related to Jefferies Group's securitizations that were accounted for as sales in which it had continuing involvement (in millions):

Total assets represent the unpaid principal amount of assets in the SPEs in which Jefferies Group has continuing involvement and are presented solely to provide information regarding the size of the transactions and the size of the underlying assets supporting its retained interests, and are not considered representative of the risk of potential loss. Assets retained in connection with a securitization transaction represent the fair value of the securities of one or more tranches issued by an SPE, including senior and subordinated tranches. Jefferies Group's risk of loss is limited to this fair value amount which is included in total Trading assets in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Although not obligated, in connection with secondary market-making activities Jefferies Group may make a market in the securities issued by these SPEs. In these market-making transactions, Jefferies Group buys these securities from and sells these securities to investors. Securities purchased through these market-making activities are not considered to be continuing involvement in these SPEs. To the extent Jefferies Group purchased securities through these market-making activities and Jefferies Group is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE, these securities are included in agency and non-agency mortgage- and asset-backed securitizations in the nonconsolidated VIEs section presented in Note 8.

Foursight Capital also utilizes SPEs to securitize automobile loans receivable. These SPEs are VIEs and our subsidiary is the primary beneficiary; the related assets and the secured borrowings are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. These secured borrowings do not have recourse to our ~~subsidiary’s~~subsidiary's general credit. See Note 8 for further information on securitization activities and VIEs.

Note 8. Variable Interest Entities

VIEs are entities in which equity investors lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. VIEs are consolidated by the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the party who has both (1) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the ~~entity’s~~entity's economic performance and (2) an obligation to absorb losses of the entity or a right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the entity.

Our variable interests in VIEs include debt and equity interests, equity interests in associated companies, commitments, guarantees and certain fees. Our involvement with VIEs arises primarily from the following activities, but also includes other activities discussed below:

Purchases of securities in connection with ~~our~~Jefferies Group's trading and secondary market-making activities;

Retained interests held as a result of securitization activities, including the resecuritization of mortgage- and other asset-backed securities and the securitization of commercial mortgage, corporate and consumer loans;

Acting as placement agent and/or underwriter in connection with client-sponsored securitizations;

Financing of agency and non-agency mortgage- and other asset-backed securities;

Warehouse funding arrangements for client-sponsored consumer loan vehicles and CLOs through participation certificates, forward ~~sales~~sale agreements and revolving loan and note commitments; and

Loans to, investments in and fees from various investment vehicles.

We determine whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE upon our initial involvement with the VIE and we reassess whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE on an ongoing basis. Our determination of whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE is based upon the facts and circumstances for each VIE and requires ~~significant~~ judgment. Our considerations in determining the ~~VIE’s~~VIE's most significant activities and whether we have power to direct those activities include, but are not limited to, the ~~VIE’s~~VIE's purpose and design and the risks passed through to investors, the voting interests of the VIE, management, service and/or other agreements of the VIE, involvement in the ~~VIE’s~~VIE's initial design and the existence of explicit or implicit financial guarantees. In situations where we have determined that the power over the ~~VIE’s~~VIE's significant activities is shared, we assess whether we are the party with the power over the most significant activities. If we are the party with the power over the most significant activities, we meet the "power" criteria of the primary beneficiary. If we do not have the power over the most significant activities or we determine that decisions require consent of each sharing party, we do not meet the "power" criteria of the primary beneficiary.

We assess our variable interests in a VIE both individually and in aggregate to determine whether we have an obligation to absorb losses of or a right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The determination of whether our variable interest is significant to the VIE requires ~~significant~~ judgment. In determining the significance of our variable interest, we consider the terms, characteristics and size of the variable interests, the design and characteristics of the VIE, our involvement in the VIE and our market-making activities related to the variable interests.

The following table presents information about the assets and liabilities of our consolidated securitization vehicles VIEs, which are presented in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition in the respective asset and liability categories (in millions). The assets and liabilities in the table below are presented prior to consolidation and thus a portion of these assets and liabilities are eliminated in consolidation.

Securitization Vehicles. Jefferies Group is the primary beneficiary of asset-backed financing vehicles to which Jefferies Group sells agency and non-agency residential and commercial mortgage loans, and mortgage-backed securities and consumer loans pursuant to the terms of a master repurchase agreement. ~~Jefferies Group manages the assets within these vehicles.~~ Jefferies Group's variable interests in these vehicles consist of its collateral margin maintenance obligations under the master repurchase agreement, which Jefferies Group manages, and retained interests in securities issued. The assets of these VIEs consist of reverse repurchase agreements, which are available for the benefit of the ~~vehicle’s~~vehicle's debt holders. The creditors of these VIEs do not have recourse to Jefferies Group's general credit and each such ~~VIE’s~~VIE's assets are not available to satisfy any other debt.

Jefferies Group was previously the primary beneficiary of a securitization vehicle associated with their financing of small business loans. In the creation of the securitization vehicle, Jefferies Group was involved in the decisions made during the establishment and design of the entity and holds variable interests consisting of the securities retained that could potentially be significant. The assets of the VIE consisted of small business loans, which were available for the benefit of the vehicles' beneficial interest holders. The creditors of the VIE did not have recourse to Jefferies Group's general credit and the assets of the VIE were not available to satisfy any other debt.

At ~~September~~August 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018, ~~and December 31, 2017,~~ Foursight Capital is the primary beneficiary of SPEs it utilized to securitize automobile loans receivable. Foursight Capital acts as the servicer for which it receives a fee, and owns an equity interest in the SPEs. The notes issued by the SPEs are secured solely by the assets of the SPEs and do not have recourse to Foursight Capital’s general credit and the assets of the VIEs are not available to satisfy any other debt. During the nine months ended ~~September 30, 2018,~~August 31, 2019, automobile loan receivables aggregating ~~$290.9~~$227.4 million were securitized by Foursight Capital in connection with a secured borrowing offering. The majority of the proceeds from issuance of the secured borrowing were used to pay down Foursight Capital’s two credit facilities.

Our maximum exposure to loss often differs from the carrying value of the variable interests. The maximum exposure to loss is dependent on the nature of the variable interests in the VIEs and is limited to the notional amounts of certain loan and equity commitments and guarantees. Our maximum exposure to loss does not include the offsetting benefit of any financial instruments that may be utilized to hedge the risks associated with its variable interests and is not reduced by the amount of collateral held as part of a transaction with a VIE.

Collateralized Loan Obligations. Assets collateralizing the CLOs include bank loans, participation interests and sub-investment grade and senior secured U.S. loans. Jefferies Group underwrites securities issued in CLO transactions on behalf of sponsors and provides advisory services to the sponsors. Jefferies Group may also sell corporate loans to the CLOs. Jefferies Group's variable interests in connection with CLOs where it has been involved in providing underwriting and/or advisory services consist of the following:

Forward sale agreements whereby Jefferies Group commits to sell, at a fixed price, corporate loans and ownership interests in an entity holding such corporate loans to CLOs;

Warehouse funding arrangements in the form of participation interests in corporate loans held by CLOs and commitments to fund such participation interests;

Trading positions in securities issued in a CLO transaction; and

Investments in variable funding notes issued by CLOs.

Consumer Loan and Other Asset-Backed Vehicles. Jefferies Group provides financing and lending related services to certain client-sponsored VIEs in the form of revolving funding note agreements, revolving credit facilities, ~~and~~ forward purchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements. The underlying assets, which are collateralizing the vehicles, are primarily composed of unsecured consumer and small business ~~loans.~~loans, and trust claims. In addition, Jefferies Group may provide structuring and advisory services and act as an underwriter or placement agent for securities issued by the vehicles. Jefferies Group does not control the activities of these entities.

Related Party Private Equity Vehicles. Jefferies Group committed to invest ~~equity~~ in private equity funds (the "JCP Funds", including Jefferies Group's interests in Jefferies Capital Partners V L.P. and the Jefferies SBI USA Fund L.P. (together, "JCP Fund V")) managed by Jefferies Capital Partners, LLC (the "JCP Manager"). Additionally, Jefferies Group committed to invest ~~equity~~ in the general partners of the JCP Funds (the "JCP General Partners") and the JCP Manager. Jefferies Group's variable interests in the JCP Funds, JCP General Partners and JCP Manager (collectively, the "JCP Entities") consist of equity interests that, in total, provide Jefferies Group with limited and general partner investment returns of the JCP Funds, a portion of the carried interest earned by the JCP General Partners and a portion of the management fees earned by the JCP Manager. At ~~September~~August 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018, ~~and December 31, 2017,~~ Jefferies Group's total equity commitment in the JCP Entities was $139.3 million and ~~$148.1~~$139.3 million, respectively, of which $121.7 million and $121.3 million, ~~and $126.3 million~~respectively, had been ~~funded, respectively.~~funded. The carrying value of Jefferies Group's equity investments in the JCP Entities was ~~$34.1~~$28.7 million and ~~$23.7~~$35.5 million at ~~September~~August 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018, ~~and December 31, 2017,~~ respectively. Jefferies Group's exposure

to loss is limited to the total of its carrying value and unfunded equity commitment. The assets of the JCP Entities primarily consist of private equity and equity related investments.

Other ~~Private~~ Investment Vehicles. The carrying amount of our equity investment was ~~$160.4~~$504.9 million and ~~$133.0~~$203.6 million at ~~September~~August 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018, ~~and December 31, 2017,~~ respectively. Our unfunded equity commitment related to these investments totaled ~~$10.3~~$18.0 million and ~~$9.1~~$11.1 million at ~~September~~August 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018, ~~and December 31, 2017,~~ respectively. Our exposure to loss is limited to the total of our carrying value and unfunded equity commitment. These ~~private~~ investment vehicles have assets primarily consisting of private and public equity investments, debt instruments, trade and insurance claims and various oil and gas assets.

Mortgage- and Other Asset-Backed Securitization Vehicles. In connection with Jefferies Group's secondary trading and market-making activities, Jefferies Group buys and sells agency and non-agency mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed securities, which are issued by third-party securitization SPEs and are generally considered variable interests in VIEs. Securities issued by securitization SPEs are backed by residential mortgage loans, U.S. agency collateralized mortgage obligations, commercial mortgage loans, CDOs and CLOs and other consumer loans, such as installment receivables, auto loans and student loans. These securities are accounted for at fair value and included in Trading assets in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Jefferies Group has no other involvement with the related SPEs and therefore does not consolidate these entities.

Jefferies Group also engages in underwriting, placement and structuring activities for third-party-sponsored securitization trusts generally through agency (FNMA ("Fannie Mae"), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac") or GNMA ("Ginnie Mae")) or non-agency-sponsored SPEs and may purchase loans or mortgage-backed securities from third parties that are subsequently transferred into the securitization trusts. The securitizations are backed by residential and commercial mortgage, home equity and auto loans. Jefferies Group does not consolidate agency-sponsored securitizations as it does not have the power to direct the activities of the SPEs that most significantly impact their economic performance. Further, Jefferies Group is not the servicer of non-agency-sponsored securitizations and therefore does not have power to direct the most significant activities of the SPEs and accordingly, does not consolidate these entities. Jefferies Group may retain unsold senior and/or subordinated interests at the time of securitization in the form of securities issued by the SPEs.

Jefferies Group transfers existing securities, typically mortgage-backed securities, into resecuritization vehicles. These transactions in which debt securities are transferred to a VIE in exchange for new beneficial interests occur in connection with both agency and non-agency-sponsored VIEs. The consolidation analysis is largely dependent on Jefferies Group's role and interest in the resecuritization trusts. Most resecuritizations in which Jefferies Group is involved are in connection with investors seeking securities with specific risk and return characteristics. As such, Jefferies Group has concluded that the decision-making power is shared between Jefferies Group and the investor(s), considering the joint efforts involved in structuring the trust and selecting the underlying assets as well as the level of security interests the investor(s) hold in the SPE; therefore, Jefferies Group does not consolidate the resecuritization VIEs.

At ~~September~~August 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018, ~~and December 31, 2017,~~ Jefferies Group held ~~$2,622.2~~$1,712.9 million and ~~$1,829.6~~$2,913.0 million of agency mortgage-backed securities, respectively, and ~~$156.6~~$191.2 million and ~~$253.2~~$170.5 million of non-agency mortgage- and other asset-backed securities, respectively, as a result of its secondary trading and market-making activities, and underwriting, placement and structuring ~~activities and resecuritization~~ activities. Jefferies Group's maximum exposure to loss on these securities is limited to the carrying value of its investments in these securities. These mortgage- and other asset-backed securitization vehicles discussed are not included in the above table containing information about Jefferies Group's variable interests in nonconsolidated VIEs.

FXCM is considered a VIE and our term loan and equity ownership are variable interests. We ~~also~~ have ~~a variable interest in a nonconsolidated VIE consisting~~determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of FXCM because we do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact FXCM's performance. Therefore, we do not consolidate FXCM and we account for our equity interest under the equity method as an investment in an associated ~~company, Golden Queen Mining Company, LLC ("Golden Queen"). In addition, we have~~company. Our maximum exposure to loss as a ~~variable interest in a nonconsolidated VIE consisting~~result of our ~~senior secured~~involvement with FXCM is limited to the carrying value of the term loan ~~receivable~~($58.6 million) and ~~equity interest~~the investment in ~~FXCM.

(1) Includes an impairment charge of $47.9 million related to Golden Queen Mining Company, LLC ("Golden Queen") during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. In the third quarter of 2018, Golden Queen completed an updated mine plan and financial projections reflecting lower grades of gold as well as a decrease in the market price of gold. As a result of lower projected cash flows, we engaged an independent valuation firm to assist management in estimating the fair value of our equity investment in Golden Queen. Our estimate of fair value was based on a discounted cash flow analysis and was categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The discounted cash flow valuation model used inputs including management's projections of future Golden Queen cash flows and a discount rate of 12%. The result of our analysis indicated that the estimated fair value of our equity interest in Golden Queen was $62.3 million, which was $47.9 million lower than our prior carrying value at the end of the second quarter. We concluded based on lower projected cash flows and a decline in the market price of gold that the decline in fair value of our equity interest was other than temporary. As such, an impairment charge of $47.9 million was recorded in Income (loss) related to associated companies in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

As part of the settlements, FXCM U.S. withdrew from business and sold FXCM U.S.'s customer accounts.

Our estimate of fair value was based on a discounted cash flow and comparable public company analysis. The result of our analysis indicated that the estimated fair value of our equity interest in FXCM was lower than our carrying value by $130.2 million. We concluded based on the regulatory actions, FXCM's restructuring plan, investor perception and declines in the trading price of Global Brokerage's common shares and convertible debt, that the decline in fair value of our equity interest was other than temporary. As such, we impaired our equity investment in FXCM in the first quarter of 2017 by $130.2 million.

FXCM is considered a VIE and our term loan and equity interest are variable interests. We have determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of FXCM because we do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact FXCM's performance. Therefore, we do not consolidate FXCM.11 years).

~~Golden Queen Mining Company~~

Since 2014, we invested $93.0 million, net in cash in a limited liability company (Gauss LLC) to partner with the Clay family and Golden Queen Mining Co. Ltd., to jointly fund, develop and operate the Soledad Mountain gold and silver mine project. Previously 100% owned by Golden Queen Mining Co.

The joint venture, Golden Queen, is considered a VIE and we have determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of the joint venture and are therefore not consolidating its results. Our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our involvement with the joint venture is limited to our investment.

In the third quarter of 2018, Golden Queen completed an updated mine plan and financial projections reflecting lower grades of gold as well as a decrease in the market price of gold. As a result of lower projected cash flows, we engaged an independent valuation firm to assist management in estimating the fair value of our equity investment in Golden Queen.

~~Note 10. Financial Statement Offsetting~~

In connection with Jefferies Group's derivative activities and securities financing activities, Jefferies Group may enter into master netting agreements and collateral arrangements with counterparties. Generally, transactions are executed under standard industry agreements, including, but not limited to: derivative transactions – ISDA master netting agreements; master securities lending agreements (securities lending transactions); and master repurchase agreements (repurchase transactions). A master agreement creates a single contract under which all transactions between two counterparties are executed allowing for trade aggregation and a single net payment obligation. Master agreements provide protection in bankruptcy in certain circumstances and, where legally enforceable, enable receivables and payables with the same counterparty to be settled or otherwise eliminated by applying amounts due to a counterparty against all or a portion of an amount due from the counterparty or a third party.

Under Jefferies Group's derivative ISDA master netting agreements, Jefferies Group typically will also execute credit support annexes, which provide for collateral, either in the form of cash or securities, to be posted by or paid to a counterparty based on the fair value of the derivative receivable or payable based on the rates and parameters established in the credit support annex. In the event of the counterparty’s default, provisions of the master agreement permit acceleration and termination of all outstanding transactions covered by the agreement such that a single amount is owed by, or to, the non-defaulting party. In addition, any collateral posted can be applied to the net obligations, with any excess returned; and the collateralized party has a right to liquidate the collateral. Any residual claim after netting is treated along with other unsecured claims in bankruptcy court.

The conditions supporting the legal right of offset may vary from one legal jurisdiction to another and the enforceability of master netting agreements and bankruptcy laws in certain countries or in certain industries is not free from doubt. The right of offset is dependent both on contract law under the governing arrangement and consistency with the bankruptcy laws of the jurisdiction where the counterparty is located. Industry legal opinions with respect to the enforceability of certain standard provisions in respective jurisdictions are relied upon as a part of managing credit risk. In cases where Jefferies Group has not determined an agreement to be enforceable, the related amounts are not offset. Master netting agreements are a critical component of Jefferies Group's risk management processes as part of reducing counterparty credit risk and managing liquidity risk.

Jefferies Group is also a party to clearing agreements with various central clearing parties. Under these arrangements, the central clearing counterparty facilitates settlement between counterparties based on the net payable owed or receivable due and, with respect to daily settlement, cash is generally only required to be deposited to the extent of the net amount. In the event of default, a net termination amount is determined based on the market values of all outstanding positions and the clearing organization or clearing member provides for the liquidation and settlement of the net termination amount among all counterparties to the open contracts or transactions.

The following table provides information regarding derivative contracts, repurchase agreements and securities borrowing and lending arrangements that are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and (1) the extent to which, under enforceable master netting arrangements, such balances are presented net in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as appropriate under GAAP and (2) the extent to which other rights of setoff associated with these arrangements exist and could have an effect on our consolidated financial position.

~~(1)~~

Under master netting agreements with our counterparties, we have the legal right of offset with a counterparty, which incorporates all of the counterparty’s outstanding rights and obligations under the arrangement. These balances reflect additional credit risk mitigation that is available by a counterparty in the event of a counterparty’s default, but which are not netted in the balance sheet because other netting provisions of GAAP are not met. Further, for derivative assets and liabilities, amounts netted include cash collateral paid or received.


~~(2)~~	Includes securities received or paid under collateral arrangements with counterparties that could be liquidated in the event of a counterparty default and thus offset against a counterparty’s rights and obligations under the respective repurchase agreements or securities borrowing or lending arrangements.

(1) In connection with the acquisition of the remaining interest in HomeFed, $11.0 million was preliminarily allocated to intangible assets, primarily relating to lease contracts, and $4.3 million was preliminarily allocated to goodwill. In addition, associated with the acquisition, we also preliminarily recorded $32.4 million of goodwill generated by the establishment of $32.4 million of deferred tax liabilities related to allocated value exceeding the tax basis of some of the HomeFed net assets.

Amortization expense on intangible assets included in Income ~~(loss)~~ from continuing operations was ~~$3.3~~$4.0 million and ~~$3.2~~$3.3 million for the three months ended August 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, ~~and 2017,~~ respectively, and ~~$9.9~~$10.6 million and ~~$9.7~~$9.9 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, ~~and 2017,~~ respectively.

As further discussed in Note 1, on June 5, 2018, we sold 48% of National Beef to Marfrig. Upon closing of the transaction with Marfrig, we deconsolidated our investment in National Beef, including its Intangible assets, net and goodwill. Intangible assets, net and goodwill at December 31, 2017 included $539.6 million of intangibles and $15.0 million of goodwill related to National Beef.

Goodwill and Intangible Impairment Testing

We performed our annual impairment testing of Jefferies Group goodwill as of August 1, ~~2018.~~2019. The quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed at our reporting unit level and consists of two steps. In the first step, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying value, including goodwill and allocated intangible assets. If the fair value is in excess of the carrying value, the goodwill for the reporting unit is considered not to be impaired. If the fair value is less than the carrying value, then a second step is performed in order to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any, which is based on comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill.

The estimated fair value of Jefferies Group is based on valuation techniques that we believe market participants would use, although the valuation process requires significant judgment and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. The methodologies we utilize in estimating fair value include price-to-earnings and price-to-book multiples of comparable public companies and/or projected cash flows. In addition, as the fair values determined under the market approach represent a noncontrolling interest, we applied a control premium to arrive at the estimated fair value of our reporting units on a controlling

basis.An independent valuation specialist was engaged to assist with the valuation process for Jefferies Group at August 1, ~~2018.~~2019. The results of our annual goodwill impairment test for Jefferies Group did not indicate any goodwill impairment.

Jefferies Group performed its annual impairment testing of intangible assets with an indefinite useful life, which consists of exchange and clearing organization membership interests and registrations, at August 1, ~~2018.~~2019. Jefferies Group elected to perform a quantitative assessment of membership interests and registrations that have available quoted sales prices as well as certain other membership interests and registrations that have declined in utilization. A qualitative assessment was performed on the remainder of its indefinite-life intangible assets. With regard to its qualitative assessment of the remaining indefinite-life intangible assets, based on its assessment of market conditions, the utilization of the assets and the replacement costs associated with the assets, Jefferies Group has concluded that it is not more likely than not that the intangible assets are impaired. ~~Jefferies Group recognized an immaterial impairment loss on certain exchange membership interests and registrations during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.~~

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

AtDecember 31, 2017, the redeemable noncontrolling interests primarily relate to National Beef and were held by its minority owners, USPB, NBPCo Holdings and the chief executive officer of National Beef. The holders of these interests shared in the profits and losses of National Beef on a pro rata basis with us. As discussed in Note 1, we deconsolidated National Beef as a result of the 48% sale to Marfrig on June 5, 2018. Immediately prior to the deconsolidation, the cumulative increase in fair value of $237.7 million recorded to the redeemable noncontrolling interest since the initial acquisition of National Beef was reversed through Additional paid-in capital in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition.

~~Redeemable noncontrolling interests in National Beef are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at fair value.~~ The following table ~~rolls forward~~shows the activity of National Beef’s redeemable noncontrolling interests ~~activity~~(prior to its deconsolidation in June 2018) during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 (in thousands):

We estimated the fair value of Vitesse Energy Finance based on a discounted cash flow analysis, market comparable method and market transaction method.

Mandatorily Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares

In connection with our acquisition of Jefferies Group in March 2013, we issued a new series of 3.25% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Shares ("Preferred Shares") ($125.0 million at mandatory redemption value) in exchange for Jefferies Group's outstanding 3.25% Series A-1 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock. The Preferred Shares have a 3.25% annual, cumulative cash dividend and are currently convertible into 4,162,200 common shares, an effective conversion price of $30.03 per share. The holders of the Preferred Shares are also entitled to an additional quarterly payment in the event we declare and pay a dividend on our common stock in an amount greater than $0.0625 per common share per quarter. The additional quarterly payment would be paid to the holders of Preferred Shares on an as converted basis and on a per share basis would equal the quarterly dividend declared and paid to a holder of a share of common stock in excess of $0.0625 per share. ~~In the third quarter of 2017, we increased our quarterly dividend from $0.0625 to $0.10 per common share.~~

In the third quarter of 2018, we increased our quarterly dividend from $0.10 to $0.125 per common share. These increased the preferred stock dividend from ~~$3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 to~~ $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2018.~~2018 to $3.8 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2019. Based on our current quarterly dividend of $0.125 per common share, the effective rate on these Preferred Shares is approximately 4.1%. The Preferred Shares are callable beginning in 2023 at a price of $1,000 per share plus accrued interest and are mandatorily redeemable in 2038.

Note ~~15.~~14. Compensation Plans

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. Restricted stock and restricted stock units ("RSUs") may be granted to new employees as "sign-on" awards, to existing employees as "retention" awards and to certain executive officers as awards for multiple years. Sign-on and retention awards are generally subject to annual ratable vesting over a ~~four-year~~four year service period and are amortized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the related four years. Restricted stock and RSUs are granted to certain senior executives with market, performance and service conditions. Market conditions are incorporated into the grant-date fair value of senior executive awards using a Monte Carlo valuation model. Compensation expense for awards with market conditions is recognized over the service period and is not reversed if the market condition is not met. Awards with performance conditions are amortized over the service period if it is determined that it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved.

~~Senior Executive Compensation Plan.~~ The Compensation Committee of the Jefferies Board of Directors approved an executive compensation plan effective January 1, 2018 that extends Jefferies prior compensation plans for our CEO and our President (together, our "Senior Executives") for compensation years 2018, 2019 and 2020. For each Senior Executive, the Compensation Committee has targeted long-term compensation of $25.0 million per year under the plan with a target of $16.0 million in long-term equity in the form of RSUs and a target of $9.0 million in long-term cash, subject to performance targets over the three-year measurement period for each compensation year. To receive targeted long-term equity, our Senior Executives will have to achieve 8% growth on an annual and multi-year compounded basis in Jefferies Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") and to receive targeted long-term cash, our Senior Executives will have to achieve 8% growth on an annual and multi-year compounded basis in Jefferies Return on Tangible Deployable Equity ("ROTDE"). If TSR and ROTDE are less than 5%, our Senior Executives will receive no long-term compensation. If TSR and ROTDE growth rates are greater than 8%, our Senior Executives are eligible to receive up

to 50% additional incentive compensation on a pro rata basis up to 12% growth rates. TSR is based on annualized rate of return reflecting price appreciation plus reinvestment of dividends and distributions to shareholders. ROTDE is net income adjusted for amortization of intangible assets divided by tangible book value at the beginning of year adjusted for intangible assets and deferred tax assets.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense. Compensation and benefits expense included ~~$12.8~~$12.2 million and ~~$11.1~~$12.8 million for the three months ended August 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, ~~and 2017,~~ respectively, and ~~$38.0~~$37.0 million and ~~$31.5~~$38.0 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, ~~and 2017,~~ respectively, for share-based compensation expense relating to grants made under our share-based compensation plans. Total compensation cost includes the amortization of sign-on, retention and senior executive awards, less forfeitures and clawbacks. The total tax benefit recognized in results of operations related to share-based compensation expenses was ~~$4.0~~$3.0 million and $4.0 million for the three months ended August 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, ~~and 2017,~~ respectively, and ~~$10.0~~$9.3 million and ~~$11.2~~$10.0 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, ~~and 2017,~~ respectively. ~~As of September 30, 2018,~~At August 31, 2019, total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation plans was ~~$131.5~~$92.5 million; this cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of ~~2.4~~three years.

At ~~September 30, 2018,~~August 31, 2019, there were ~~1,862,000~~2,074,000 shares of restricted stock outstanding with future service required, ~~9,424,000~~6,049,000 RSUs outstanding with future service required (including target RSUs issuable under the senior executive compensation plan), ~~10,262,000~~14,592,000 RSUs outstanding with no future service required and ~~871,000~~919,000 shares issuable under other plans. ~~Excluding shares issuable pursuant to outstanding stock options, the~~The maximum potential increase to common shares outstanding resulting from these outstanding awards is ~~20,557,000.~~21,560,000.

During the second quarter of 2019, we completed the sale of our available for sale portfolio. In connection therewith, we recognized a tax benefit of $544.6 million during the nine months ended August 31, 2019. Unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, and their associated tax impacts, are recorded directly to equity as part of the Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) balance. Following the portfolio approach, when unrealized gains and losses and their associated tax impacts are recorded at a then current tax rate, and then realized later at a different tax rate, the difference between the tax impact initially recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and the tax impact removed from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) upon realization remains in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the disposal of the portfolio and is referred to as a "lodged tax effect." Large changes in the fair value of our available for sale securities, primarily during 2008 through 2010, combined with fluctuations in our tax rate during those periods, generated a lodged tax benefit of $544.6 million. As a result of recent steps to improve our Corporate investment management efforts, we sold the remaining portion of our available for sale portfolio in the second quarter of 2019, which resulted in the realization of the $544.6 million tax benefit. While this realization did not impact total equity, it resulted in a tax benefit reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Operations of $544.6 million and, as a result, Retained earnings increased and Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) decreased by corresponding amounts.

The remaining net unrealized gains on available for sale securities at August 31, 2019 represents Jefferies Group's share of Berkadia's net unrealized gains on available for sale securities recorded under the equity method of accounting.

In connection with the acquisition of Jefferies Bache from Prudential on July 1, 2011, Jefferies Group acquired a defined benefit pension plan located in Germany (the "German Pension Plan") for the benefit of eligible employees of Jefferies Bache in that territory. On December 28, 2017, a Liquidation Insurance Contract was entered into between Jefferies Bache Limited and Generali Lebensversicherung AG ("Generali") to transfer the defined benefit pension obligations and insurance contracts to Generali, for approximately €6.5 million, which was paid in January 2018 and released Jefferies Group from any and all obligations under the German Pension Plan. This transaction was completed in the first quarter of 2018. In connection with the transfer of the German Pension Plan, $5.3 million was reclassified to Compensation and benefits expense in the Consolidated ~~Statements~~Statement of Operations from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

~~Revenue~~(1) During the third quarter of 2019, Jefferies Group has reclassified the presentation of certain other fees, primarily related to prime brokerage services offered to its clients. These fees were previously presented as Other revenues in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and are now presented within Commissions and other fees. There is no impact on Total revenues as a result of this change in presentation. Previously reported results are presented on a comparable basis.

Revenues from contracts with customers isare recognized when, or as, we satisfy our performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services to the customers. A good or service is transferred to a customer when, or as, the customer obtains control of that good or service. A performance obligation may be satisfied over time or at a point in time. Revenue from a performance

obligation satisfied over time is recognized by measuring our progress in satisfying the performance obligation in a manner that depicts the transfer of the goods or services to the customer. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time is recognized at the point in time that we determine the customer obtains control over the promised good or service. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those promised goods or services (the "transaction price"). In determining the transaction price, we consider multiple factors, including the effects of variable consideration. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainties with respect to the amount are resolved. In determining when to include variable consideration in the transaction price, we consider the range of possible outcomes, the predictive value of our past experiences, the time period of when uncertainties expect to be resolved and the amount of consideration that is susceptible to factors outside of our influence, such as market volatility or the judgment and actions of third parties.

The following provides detailed information on the recognition of our revenues from contracts with customers:

Commissions and Other Fees. Jefferies Group earns commission ~~revenue~~revenues by executing, settling and clearing transactions for clients primarily in equity, equity-related and futures products. Trade execution and clearing services, when provided together,

represent a single performance obligation as the services are not separately identifiable in the context of the contract. Commission revenues associated with combined trade execution and clearing services, as well as trade execution services on a standalone basis, are recognized at a point in time on trade-date. ~~Commissions~~Commission revenues are generally paid on settlement date and Jefferies Group records a receivable between trade-date and payment on settlement date. Jefferies Group permits institutional customers to allocate a portion of their gross commissions to pay for research products and other services provided by third parties. The amounts allocated for those purposes are commonly referred to as soft dollar arrangements. Jefferies Group acts as an agent in the soft dollar arrangements as the customer controls the use of the soft dollars and directs Jefferies Group's payments to third-party service providers on its behalf. Accordingly, amounts allocated to soft dollar arrangements are netted against commission revenues in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Jefferies Group earns account advisory and distribution fees in connection with wealth management services. Account advisory fees are recognized over time using the time-elapsed method as Jefferies Group determined that the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of investment advisory services as they are provided. Account advisory fees may be paid in advance of a specified service period or in arrears at the end of the specified service period (e.g., quarterly). Account advisory fees paid in advance are initially deferred within Payables, expense accruals and other liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Distribution fees are variable and recognized when the uncertainties with respect to the amounts are resolved.

Investment ~~Banking Fees.~~ Banking. Jefferies Group provides its clients with a full range of capital markets and financial advisory services. Capital markets services include underwriting and placement agent services in both the equity and debt capital markets, including private equity placements, initial public offerings, follow-on offerings and equity-linked convertible securities transactions and structuring, underwriting and distributing public and private debt, including investment grade debt, high yield bonds, leveraged loans, municipal bonds and mortgage- and asset-backed securities. Underwriting and placement agent revenues are recognized at a point in time on trade-date, as the client obtains the control and benefit of the capital markets offering at that point. Costs associated with capital markets transactions are deferred until the related revenue is recognized or the engagement is otherwise concluded, and are recorded on a gross basis within Selling, general and other expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as Jefferies Group is acting as a principal in the arrangement. Any expenses reimbursed by its clients are recognized as Investment banking revenues.

Revenues from financial advisory services primarily consist of fees generated in connection with merger, acquisition and restructuring transactions. Advisory fees from mergers and acquisitions engagements are recognized at a point in time when the related transaction is completed, as the performance obligation is to successfully broker a specific transaction. Fees received prior to the completion of the transaction are deferred within Payables, expense accruals and other liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Advisory fees from restructuring engagements are recognized over time using a time elapsed measure of progress as Jefferies Group's clients simultaneously receive and consume the benefits of those services as they are provided. A significant portion of the fees Jefferies Group receives for its advisory services are considered variable as they are contingent upon a future event (e.g., completion of a transaction or third-party emergence from bankruptcy) and are excluded from the transaction price until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved, which is expected to occur upon achievement of the specified milestone. Payment for advisory services are generally due promptly upon completion of a specified milestone or, for retainer fees, periodically over the course of the engagement. Jefferies Group recognizes a receivable between the date of completion of the milestone and payment by the customer. Expenses associated with investment banking advisory engagements are deferred only to the extent they are explicitly reimbursable by the client and the related revenue is recognized at a point in time. All other investment banking advisory related expenses, including expenses incurred related to restructuring assignments, are expensed as incurred. All investment banking advisory expenses are recognized within their respective expense category in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and any expenses reimbursed by Jefferies Group's clients are recognized as Investment banking revenues.

Asset Management Fees. Jefferies Group ~~and LAM earn~~earns management and performance fees, recorded in Other revenues, in connection with investment advisory services provided to various funds and accounts, which are satisfied over time and measured using a time elapsed measure of progress as the customer receives the benefits of the services evenly throughout the term of the contract. Management and performance fees are considered variable as they are subject to fluctuation (e.g., changes in assets under management, market performance) and/ or are contingent on a future event during the measurement period (e.g., meeting a specified benchmark) and are recognized only to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty is resolved. Management fees are generally based on month-end assets under management or an agreed upon notional amount and are included in the transaction price at the end of each month when the assets under management or notional amount is known. Performance fees are received when the return on assets under management for a specified performance period exceed certain benchmark returns, "high-water marks" or other performance targets. The performance period related to performance fees is annual ~~semi-annual~~ or ~~quarterly.~~semi-annual. Accordingly, performance fee revenue will generally be recognized only at the end of the performance period to the extent that the benchmark return has been met.

Manufacturing Revenues. Idaho Timber's primary business consists of the sale of lumber that is manufactured or remanufactured at one of its locations. Agreements with customers for these sales specify the type, quantity and price of products to be delivered

as well as the delivery date and payment terms. The transaction price is fixed at the time of sale and revenue is generally recognized when the customer takes control of the product.

Information on Remaining Performance Obligations and Revenue Recognized from Past Performance

We do not disclose information about remaining performance obligations pertaining to contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less. The transaction price allocated to remaining unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations with an original expected duration exceeding one year was not material at ~~September 30, 2018.~~August 31, 2019. Investment banking advisory fees that are contingent upon completion of a specific milestone and fees associated with certain distribution services are also excluded as the fees are considered variable and not included in the transaction price at ~~September 30, 2018.~~August 31, 2019.

~~During~~

Jefferies Group recognized $9.6 million and $4.4 million during the three ~~and nine~~ months ended August 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, ~~Jefferies Group recognized $4.4~~respectively, and $27.2 million and $18.3 million during the nine months ended August 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively, of ~~revenue~~revenues related to performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods, mainly due to resolving uncertainties in variable consideration that was constrained in prior periods. In addition, Jefferies Group recognized $6.0 million and $4.6 million during the three months ended August 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively, and $15.8 million and $13.5 million during the nine months ended August 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively, of revenues primarily associated with distribution services, ~~during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018,~~ a portion of which relates to prior periods.

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of payment by customers. We record a receivable when revenue is recognized prior to payment and it has an unconditional right to payment. Alternatively, when payment precedes the provision of the related services, we record deferred revenue until the performance obligations are satisfied.

We had receivables related to revenues from contracts with customers of $276.7 million and $250.6 million at August 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018, respectively. We had no significant impairments related to these receivables during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018.

Jefferies ~~Group~~Group's deferred revenue primarily relates to retainer and milestone fees received in investment banking advisory engagements where the performance obligation has not yet been satisfied.

We had receivables related to revenues from contracts with customers of $259.1 million and $469.3 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. As further discussed in Note 1, on June 5, 2018, we sold 48% of National Beef to Marfrig. Upon closing of the transaction with Marfrig, we deconsolidated our investment in National Beef, including its receivables related to revenues from contracts with customers. Receivables related to revenues from contracts with customers at December 31, 2017 included $183.4 million related to National Beef.

~~We had no significant impairments related to these receivables during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.~~

Our deferred revenue, which primarily relates to Jefferies Group, was ~~$16.3~~$12.9 million and ~~$15.5~~$14.2 million at ~~September~~August 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018, ~~and December 31, 2017,~~ respectively, which are recorded as Payables, expense accruals and other liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. During the three months ended August 31, 2019, we recognized $9.6 million of deferred revenue from the balance at May 31, 2019. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we recognized $6.3 million of deferred revenue from the balance at June 30, 2018. During the nine months ended August 31, 2019, we recognized $9.8 million of deferred revenue from the balance at November 30, 2018. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recognized ~~$20.8~~$12.9 million of deferred revenue from the balance at December 31, 2017.

Contract Costs

Jefferies Group capitalizes costs to fulfill contracts associated with investment banking advisory engagements where the revenue is recognized at a point in time and the costs are determined to be recoverable. Capitalized costs to fulfill a contract are recognized at the point in time that the related revenue is recognized.

At ~~September~~August 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018, Jefferies Group's capitalized costs to fulfill a contract were ~~$4.8~~$4.4 million and $4.7 million, respectively, which are recorded in Receivables in the Consolidated ~~Statement~~Statements of Financial Condition. ~~For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018,~~ Jefferies Group recognized ~~$1.5~~expenses of $1.6 million and $1.5 million during the three months ended August 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively, ~~of expenses~~and $3.8 million and $1.5 million, during the nine months ended August 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively, related to costs to fulfill a contract that were capitalized as of the beginning of the period. There were no significant impairment charges recognized in relation to these capitalized costs during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018. At ~~September~~August 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018, capitalized costs related to our other subsidiaries were not material.

Note ~~18.~~17. Income Taxes

The aggregate amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions ~~at September 30, 2018~~ was ~~$237.8~~$253.3 million (including ~~$63.0~~$60.5 million for interest), at August 31, 2019, of which ~~$184.0~~$180.1 million related to Jefferies ~~Group. The aggregate amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2017~~Group, and was ~~$226.4~~$251.4 million (including ~~$57.4~~$54.1 million for interest), at November 30, 2018, of which ~~$177.8~~$174.9 million related to Jefferies Group. If recognized, such amounts would lower our effective tax rate. ~~Accrued~~We recognize interest ~~is included~~and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in ~~Payables, expense accruals and other liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.~~income tax expense. No material penalties were accrued for the nine months ended August 31, 2019 and September 30, ~~2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017.~~2018.

The statute of limitations with respect to our federal income tax returns has expired for all years through ~~2013.~~2015. We ~~have settled our 2013 Internal Revenue Service examination with the settlement having an immaterial impact on our effective tax rate. Our New York State and New York City income tax returns~~ are currently ~~being audited for the 2012 to 2014 period and 2011 to 2014 period, respectively.~~under examination in a number of major tax jurisdictions. Prior to becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary, Jefferies Group filed a consolidated U.S. federal income tax

return with its qualifying subsidiaries and was subject to income tax in various states,

municipalities and foreign ~~jurisdictions.~~jurisdictions and Jefferies Group is also currently under examination ~~by various~~in a number of major tax jurisdictions. We do not expect that resolution of these examinations will have a significant effect on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, but could have a significant impact on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the period in which resolution occurs.

The new tax on global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") became applicable in fiscal 2019. As a result, we made an accounting policy election in the first quarter of 2019 to treat GILTI as a period cost if and when incurred.

Our benefit for income taxes for continuing operations for the nine months ended August 31, 2019 was $522.6 million. Our provisions for income taxes three and nine months ended August 31, 2019 were reduced by $36.0 million resulting from the reversal of deferred tax liabilities that existed at the HomeFed acquisition. Prior to its consolidation on July 1, 2019, HomeFed was accounted for under the equity method as an investment in an associated company. Since we have the intent and ability under the tax law to recover the investment tax-free, the deferred tax liability associated with the equity method investment was derecognized.

As discussed above, during the second quarter of 2019, we completed the sale of our available for sale portfolio. In connection therewith, we recognized a tax benefit of $544.6 million during the nine months ended August 31, 2019. Unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, and their associated tax impacts, are recorded directly to equity as part of the Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) balance. Following the portfolio approach, when unrealized gains and losses and their associated tax impacts are recorded at a then current tax rate, and then realized later at a different tax rate, the difference between the tax impact initially recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and the tax impact removed from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) upon realization remains in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the disposal of the portfolio and is referred to as a "lodged tax effect." Large changes in the fair value of our available for sale securities, primarily during 2008 through 2010, combined with fluctuations in our tax rate during those periods, generated a lodged tax benefit of $544.6 million. As a result of recent steps to improve our Corporate investment management efforts, we sold the remaining portion of our available for sale portfolio in the second quarter of 2019, which resulted in the realization of the $544.6 million tax benefit. While this realization did not impact total equity, it resulted in a tax benefit reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Operations of $544.6 million and, as a result, Retained earnings increased and Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) decreased by corresponding amounts.

Our provision for income taxes for continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was reduced by a $43.9 million benefit resulting from a reversal of our valuation allowance with respect to certain federal and state net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") which we now believe are more likely than not to be utilized before they expire. Our provision for income taxes from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was reduced by a $31.9 million benefit resulting from the repatriation of Jefferies Group's earnings from certain of its foreign subsidiaries, along with their associated foreign tax credits.

On December 22, 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 ("SAB 118"), which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act"). SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the Tax Act enactment date for companies to complete the accounting under Accounting Standards Codification 740, Income Taxes ("ASC 740"). While the initial estimated impact of the Tax Act was calculated using all available information, we anticipate modifications based on the procedures set forth under SAB 118. This process is applied at each reporting period to account for and qualitatively disclose: (1) the effects of the change in tax law for which accounting is complete; (2) provisional amounts (or adjustments to provisional amounts) for the effects of the tax law where accounting is not complete, but that a reasonable estimate has been determined; and (3) where a reasonable estimate cannot yet be made, taxes are reflected in accordance with the law prior to the enactment of the Tax Act.

Due to the complex nature of the Tax Act, we have not completed our accounting for the income tax effects of certain elements of the Tax Act. If we were able to make reasonable estimates of the effects of certain elements for which our analysis is not yet complete, we recorded a provisional estimate in the financial statements. If we were not yet able to make reasonable estimates of the impact of certain elements, we have not recorded any adjustments related to those elements and have continued accounting for them in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of the tax laws in effect before the Tax Act. The ultimate impact of the Tax Act may differ from this estimate, possibly materially, due to refinement of our calculations based on updated information, changes in interpretations and assumptions, and guidance that may be issued and actions we may take in response to the Tax Act. We note that the Tax Act is complex and we continue to assess the impact that various provisions will have on our business. Since the Tax Act was passed late in the fourth quarter of 2017, and ongoing guidance and accounting interpretation are expected, we consider the accounting for the deferred tax asset remeasurements, the transition tax, and other items to be incomplete due to the forthcoming guidance and our ongoing analysis of final year-end data and tax positions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we revised our prior estimate and recorded a $3.8 million increase in our tax expense related to the Tax Act.

Represents dividends declared during the period on participating securities plus an allocation of undistributed earnings to participating securities. Net losses are not allocated to participating securities. Participating securities represent restricted stock and RSUs for which requisite service has not yet been rendered and amounted to weighted average shares of ~~1,888,700~~2,018,000 and ~~1,366,700~~1,888,700 for the three months ended August 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, ~~and 2017,~~ respectively, and ~~1,700,700~~1,910,700 and ~~1,433,500~~1,700,700 for the nine months ended August 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, ~~and 2017,~~ respectively.

For the three months ended August 31, 2019 and the nine months ended September 30, 2018, and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, shares related to the 3.875% Convertible Senior Debentures were not included in the computation of diluted per share amounts as the conversion price exceeded the average market price. All of these convertible debentures were redeemed in January 2018. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and the three months ended September 30, 2017, shares related to the mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred shares were not included in the computation of diluted per share amounts as the effect was antidilutive.

The Board of Directors from time to time has authorized the repurchase of our common shares. In ~~April 2018,~~January 2019, the Board of Directors approved an ~~increase to our~~additional $500.0 million share repurchase ~~program to 25,000,000 common shares from the 12,500,000 million remaining under its prior~~ authorization. ~~In July 2018, the Board of Directors approved an increase to our share repurchase program by an additional 25,000,000 common shares.~~ During the nine months ended ~~September 30, 2018,~~August 31, 2019, we purchased a total of ~~26,119,483~~17,725,361 of our common shares for an aggregate purchase price of $352.1 million under these authorizations.

Loan Commitments.From time to time Jefferies Group makes commitments to extend credit to investment banking and other clients in loan syndication, acquisition finance and securities transactions and to SPE sponsors in connection with the funding of CLO and other asset-backed transactions. These commitments and any related drawdowns of these facilities typically have fixed maturity dates and are contingent on certain representations, warranties and contractual conditions applicable to the borrower.

Contingencies

We and our subsidiaries are parties to legal and regulatory proceedings that are considered to be either ordinary, routine litigation incidental to their business or not significant to our consolidated financial position. We and our subsidiaries are also involved, from time to time, in other exams, investigations and similar reviews (both formal and informal) by governmental and ~~self-~~

~~regulatory~~self-regulatory agencies regarding our businesses, certain of which may result in judgments, settlements, fines, penalties or other injunctions. We do not believe that any of these actions will have a significant adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or liquidity, but any amounts paid could be significant to results of operations for the period.

Guarantees

Derivative Contracts. Jefferies Group dealer activities cause it to make markets and trade in a variety of derivative instruments. Certain derivative contracts that Jefferies Group has entered into meet the accounting definition of a guarantee under GAAP, including credit default swaps, written foreign currency options and written equity put options. On certain of these contracts, such as written interest rate caps and foreign currency options, the maximum payout cannot be quantified since the increase in interest or foreign exchange rates are not contractually limited by the terms of the contract. As such, we have disclosed notional values as a measure of Jefferies Group's maximum potential payout under these contracts.

The following table summarizes the notional amounts associated with Jefferies ~~Group~~Group's derivative contracts meeting the definition of a guarantee under GAAP ~~as of September 30, 2018~~at August 31, 2019 (in millions):

The derivative contracts deemed to meet the definition of a guarantee under GAAP are before consideration of hedging transactions and only reflect a partial or "one-sided" component of any risk exposure. Written equity options and written credit default swaps are often executed in a strategy that is in tandem with long cash instruments (e.g., equity and debt securities). Jefferies Group substantially mitigates its exposure to market risk on these contracts through hedges, such as other derivative contracts and/or cash instruments, and Jefferies Group manages the risk associated with these contracts in the context of its overall risk management framework. Jefferies Group believes notional amounts overstate its expected payout and that fair value of these contracts is a more relevant measure of its obligations. The fair value of derivative contracts meeting the definition of a guarantee is approximately ~~$216.9~~$239.0 million at ~~September 30, 2018.~~August 31, 2019.

Berkadia. We have agreed to reimburse Berkshire Hathaway for up to one-half of any losses incurred under a $1.5 billion surety policy securing outstanding commercial paper issued by an affiliate of Berkadia. At ~~September 30, 2018,~~August 31, 2019, the aggregate amount of commercial paper outstanding was $1.47 billion.

HomeFed. For real estate development projects, HomeFed is generally required to obtain infrastructure improvement bonds at the beginning of construction work and warranty bonds upon completion of such improvements. These bonds are issued by surety companies to guarantee satisfactory completion of a project and provide funds primarily to a municipality in the event HomeFed is unable or unwilling to complete certain infrastructure improvements. As HomeFed develops the planned area and the municipality accepts the improvements, the bonds are released. Should the respective municipality or others draw on the bonds for any reason, certain of HomeFed's subsidiaries would be obligated to pay. At August 31, 2019, the aggregate amount of infrastructure improvement bonds outstanding was $70.4 million.

Other Guarantees. Jefferies Group is a member of various exchanges and clearing houses. In the normal course of business, Jefferies Group provides guarantees to securities clearing houses and exchanges. These guarantees generally are required under the standard membership agreements, such that members are required to guarantee the performance of other members. Additionally, if a member becomes unable to satisfy its obligations to the clearing house, other members would be required to meet these shortfalls. To mitigate these performance risks, the exchanges and clearing houses often require members to post collateral. Jefferies Group's obligations under such guarantees could exceed the collateral amounts posted. Jefferies Group's maximum potential

liability under these arrangements cannot be quantified; however, the potential for Jefferies Group to be required to make payments under such guarantees is deemed remote. Accordingly, no liability has been recognized for these arrangements.

Standby Letters of Credit. At ~~September 30, 2018,~~August 31, 2019, Jefferies Group provided guarantees to certain counterparties in the form of standby letters of credit ~~in the amount of $51.8~~totaling $36.9 million. Standby letters of credit commit Jefferies Group to make payment to the beneficiary if the guaranteed party fails to fulfill its obligation under a contractual arrangement with that beneficiary. Since commitments associated with these collateral instruments may expire unused, the amount shown does not necessarily reflect the actual future cash funding requirement. Other subsidiaries of ours have outstanding letters of credit aggregating ~~$1.1~~$1.6 million at ~~September 30, 2018.~~August 31, 2019. Primarily all letters of credit expire within one year.

Note ~~21.~~20. Net Capital Requirements

Jefferies ~~Group~~LLC operates as a broker-dealer registered with the SEC and member firms of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). Jefferies LLC is subject to the ~~Securities and Exchange Commission~~SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule ("Rule 15c3-1"), which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and has elected to calculate minimum capital requirements using the alternative method permitted by Rule 15c3-1 in calculating net capital. Jefferies LLC, as a dually-registered U.S. broker-dealer and futures commission merchant ("FCM"), is also subject to Rule 1.17 of the ~~CFTC,~~Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC"), which sets forth minimum financial requirements. The minimum net capital requirement in determining excess net capital for a dually-registered U.S. broker-dealer and FCM is equal to the greater of the requirement under Rule 15c3-1 or CFTC Rule 1.17.

Jefferies LLC’s net capital and excess net capital at ~~September 30, 2018~~August 31, 2019 were ~~$1,917.6~~$1,474.2 million and ~~$1,806.2~~$1,356.5 million, respectively.

FINRA is the designated examining authority for Jefferies Group's U.S. broker-dealer and the National Futures Association is the designated self-regulatory organization for Jefferies LLC as an FCM.

The regulatory capital requirements referred to above may restrict our ability to withdraw capital from Jefferies Group's regulated subsidiaries. Some of our other consolidated subsidiaries also have credit agreements which may restrict the payment of cash dividends, or the ability to make loans or advances to the parent company.

Note ~~24.~~23. Discontinued Operations

On June 5, 2018, we sold 48% of National Beef to Marfrig for $907.7 million in cash, reducing our ownership in National Beef to 31%. Marfrig ~~has~~ also acquired an additional 3% of National Beef from other equity owners and ~~now~~ owns 51% of National Beef. Jefferies will continue to designate ~~two~~2 board members and have a series of other rights in respect of our continuing equity interest, with a lockup period of five years and thereafter fair market value liquidity protections. As of the closing of the sale on June 5, 2018, we deconsolidated our investment in National Beef and account for our remaining interest under the equity method of accounting.

The sale of National Beef meets the GAAP criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation as the sale represents a strategic shift that has a major effect in our operations and financial results. As such, we ~~have~~ classified the results of National Beef prior to June 5, 2018 as a discontinued operation and reported those results in Income from discontinued operations, net of income tax provision in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Jefferies Group comprises many business units, with many interactions and much integration among them. Business activities include the sales, trading, origination and advisory effort for various equity, fixed income, commodities, foreign exchange and advisory services. Jefferies Group's business, by its nature, does not produce predictable or necessarily recurring revenues or earnings. Jefferies Group's results in any given period can be materially affected by conditions in global financial markets, economic conditions generally, and its own activities and positions.

Revenues by Source

Net revenues presented for Jefferies Group's ~~equities and fixed income~~ businesses include allocations of interest income and interest expense as it assesses the profitability of these businesses inclusive of the net interest revenue or expense associated with the respective activities, which is a function of the mix of each ~~business’s~~business's associated assets and liabilities and the related funding costs.

In connection with the adoption of the new revenue standard in the first quarter of 2018, Jefferies Group has made changes to the presentation of its "Revenues by Source" to better align the manner in which we describe and present the results of Jefferies Group's performance with the manner in which it manages its business activities and serves its clients. We believe that the reorganization of Jefferies Group's revenue reporting will enable us to describe the business mix more clearly and provide greater transparency in the communication of Jefferies Group's results.

(3)

Beginning with the first quarter of 2019, Net revenues attributed to the Investment return in Jefferies Group's Asset Management reportable segment have been disaggregated to separately present Investment return and Allocated net interest (see footnote 4 below). This disaggregation is intended to increase transparency and to make clearer actual Investment return. Jefferies Group offers third-party investors the opportunity to co-invest in its asset management funds and separately managed accounts alongside it. Jefferies Group believes that aggregating Investment return and Allocated net interest would obscure the Investment return by including an amount that is unique to its credit spreads, debt maturity profile, capital structure, liquidity risks and allocation methods, none of which are pertinent to the Investment returns generated by the performance of the portfolio.


(4)	Includes net interest revenue (expense) of $2.0 million and $3.3 million for the three months ended August 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively, and $3.7 million and $4.2 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018 respectively.


(5)	Allocated net interest represents the allocation of Jefferies Group's long-term debt interest expense to its Asset Management reportable segment, net of interest income on its Cash and cash equivalents and other sources of liquidity.

performance across several of Jefferies Group's sales and trading businesses, which continue to be well-positioned with continued

market share growth and competitive strength across global market rankings.

executing transactions for clients and making markets in securitized products, investment grade, high-yield, emerging markets, municipal and sovereign securities and bank loans;

foreign exchange execution on behalf of clients; and

interest rate derivatives and credit derivatives (used primarily for hedging activities).

Fixed income net revenues totaled $148.3 million for the third quarter of 2019, an increase of $8.5 million from net revenues of $139.8 million for the third quarter of 2018, primarily due to strong trading volumes during June and July, which were partially offset by muted trading volumes in August as investors were sidelined across most asset classes by increased volatility in risk assets and a further inversion of the ~~three months ended September 30, 2018 were relatively unchanged as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017, as improved performance~~U.S. Treasury yield curve.

Revenues in Jefferies Group's emerging markets business were strong as compared with the prior year quarter due to improved market reach globally. The current quarter also included higher revenues resulting from increased issuance and trading revenue volumes in its structured notes business. Global rates revenues in the current quarter underperformed due to perpetuating negative interest rates and continued ~~strong~~muted volatility in international rates markets compared to constructive trading conditions in the prior

Fixed income net revenues totaled $518.3 million for the first nine months of 2019, an increase of $45.4 million from net revenues of $472.9 million for the first nine months of 2018, primarily due to more active markets throughout most of the current year period. The increase was partially offset by increased volatility in U.S. Rates markets and increased volatility in risk assets.

Fixed income net revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 decreased $46.0 million as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017, primarily due to soft market conditions in the beginning of the second quarter. This is compared to performance in the first quarter of 2017, which was bolstered by robust trading activity following the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

Previously reported results are presented on a comparable basis.

The key components of asset management revenues are the level of assets under management and the performance return, whether on an absolute basis or relative to a benchmark or hurdle. These components can be affected by financial markets, profits and losses in the applicable investment portfolios and client capital activity. Further, asset management fees vary with the nature of investment management services. The terms under which clients may terminate Jefferies Group's investment management authority, and the requisite notice period for such termination, varies depending on the nature of the investment vehicle and the liquidity of the portfolio assets.

~~Three Months Ended September 30, 2018~~

Net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2018, increased $22.7 million from the three months ended September 30, 2017. The year-over-year increase in revenues primarily reflects increased principal transactions revenues related to Leucadia Asset Management investments and increased investment income.

Income (loss) related to associated companies during the three months ended September 30, 2018 decreased by $14.6 million, reflecting decreased income related to Berkadia and increased losses at HomeFed. Income (loss) related to associated companies includes $28.4 million and $34.8 million attributable to Berkadia, $(7.8) million and $0.2 million attributable to HomeFed, and $(4.3) million and $(4.3) million attributable to our equity method investment in FXCM, for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Our income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was relatively unchanged in comparison to the same period last year, primarily related to increased income from Leucadia Asset Management offset by the decreased income related to associated companies. Pre-tax income (losses) related to our Leucadia Asset Management investments totaled $3.7 million and $(9.1) million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase in Leucadia Asset Management is primarily due to increased returns on our investments within Leucadia Asset Management. The third quarter of 2018 loss for HomeFed is primarily related to HomeFed's impairment of its Pacho leasehold.

~~Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018~~

Net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, declined $56.0 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The year-over-year decrease in revenues primarily reflects lower principal transactions revenues related to Leucadia Asset Management investments.

Our income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 increased by $59.0 million in comparison to the same period last year, primarily related to a $130.2 million impairment loss related to our equity investment in FXCM in the first quarter of 2017, which did not recur in 2018. In addition, 2018 was impacted by a net loss at Leucadia Asset Management and continued strong performance by Berkadia. Pre-tax income (losses) related to our Leucadia Asset Management investments totaled $(78.7) million and $13.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

~~Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018~~

A summary of results for Merchant Banking by source is as follows (in thousands):

Net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, decreased $55.1 million in comparison to the same period during 2017. The decrease is due to a $228.4 million mark-to-market decrease in the value of our investment in Spectrum Brands during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, in comparison to a mark-to-market increase of $2.3 million during the same period last year and the gain on the sale of Conwed of $178.2 million during 2017. This decrease was partially offset by the gain on sale of our equity interests in Garcadia and our associated real estate of $221.7 million, increased manufacturing revenues, increased revenues related to our oil and gas businesses, increased income of $27.4 million related to a trading asset which is held at fair value and increased income of $28.5 million from an investment in a fund. We classify Spectrum Brands as a trading asset for which the fair value option was elected and we reflect mark-to-market adjustments through Principal transactions revenues.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, net revenues for manufacturing were $307.2 million and $421.8 million (including the gain on the sale of Conwed of $178.2 million), respectively. In January 2017, we sold 100% of Conwed to Schweitzer-Mauduit International, Inc., (NYSE: SWM) for $295 million in cash plus potential earn-out payments in 2019, 2020 and 2021 totaling up to $40 million in cash to the extent the results of Conwed’s subsidiary, Filtrexx International, exceed certain performance thresholds. Excluding the gain on the sale of Conwed, net revenues for manufacturing increased $63.7 million due primarily to an increase in sales at Idaho Timber.

Net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 for our oil and gas businesses were $97.6 million and $26.8 million, respectively. As discussed further in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements, Vitesse Energy Finance uses swaps and call and put options in order to reduce exposure to future oil price fluctuations. Net unrealized gains (losses) of $(18.7) million and $3.4 million were recorded related to these derivatives during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. JETX revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 were impacted by $16.6 million and $(22.0) million, respectively, of unrealized gains (losses) on a trading asset which is held at fair value.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, total expenses for manufacturing were $270.3 million and $222.3 million, respectively. The increase in total expense for manufacturing primarily relates to an increase of $46.7 million in cost of sales as a result of the increase in sales. Total expenses for our oil and gas businesses were $74.2 million and $53.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Income (loss) related to associated companies primarily relates to our investments in National Beef (subsequent to June 5, 2018), Garcadia and Linkem. Income related to National Beef was $83.3 million for the period from June 5, 2018 through September 30, 2018. Income related to Garcadia was $21.6 million and $38.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Losses related to Linkem were $20.5 million and $26.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes for nine months ended September 30, 2018 includes the gain on sale of our equity interests in Garcadia and our associated real estate of $221.7 million, $36.9 million of pre-tax income from

manufacturing, $23.5 million from the oil and gas businesses, $26.8 million of income related to a trading asset which is held at fair value, $23.5 million of income from an investment in a managed fund and $26.1 million of income related to associated companies, partially offset by a $228.4 million mark-to-market decrease in the value of our investment in Spectrum Brands. Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes for nine months ended September 30, 2017 includes $199.5 million from manufacturing, including the gain on the sale of Conwed of $178.2 million, $3.4 million of income related to associated companies and a $2.3 million mark-to-market increase in the value of our investment in Spectrum Brands, partially offset by pre-tax losses from the oil and gas production and development businesses of $26.9 million.

During the third quarter, we sold 100% of our equity interests in Garcadia and our associated real estate to our former partners, the Garff family for $417.2 million in cash. The pre-tax gain recognized as a result of this transaction, $221.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, is classified as Other revenue.

Parent Company Interest

Parent company interest expense totaled $14.8 million and ~~$14.7~~$14.8 million for the ~~three months ended September 30,~~third quarter of 2019 and 2018, ~~and 2017,~~ respectively, and $44.3 million and ~~$44.2~~$44.3 million for the first nine months ~~ended September 30,~~of 2019 and 2018, ~~and 2017,~~ respectively.

Income Taxes

~~For~~Our benefits for income taxes from continuing operations were $36.1 million and $522.6 million for the ~~three~~third quarter and first nine months ~~ended September 30, 2018,~~of 2019, respectively. Our provisions for income taxes for the third quarter and first nine months of 2019 were reduced by $36.0 million resulting from the reversal of deferred tax liabilities that existed at the HomeFed acquisition. Prior to its consolidation on July 1, 2019, HomeFed was accounted for under the equity method as an investment in an associated company. Since we have the intent and ability under the tax law to recover the investment tax-free, the deferred tax liability associated with the equity method investment was derecognized.

As discussed above, during the second quarter of 2019, we completed the sale of our ~~provision (benefit)~~available for sale portfolio. In connection therewith, we recognized a tax benefit of $544.6 million during the first nine months of 2019. Unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, and their associated tax impacts, are recorded directly to equity as part of the Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) balance. Following the portfolio approach, when unrealized gains and losses and their associated tax impacts are recorded at a then current tax rate, and then realized later at a different tax rate, the difference between the tax impact initially recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and the tax impact removed from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) upon realization remains in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the disposal of the portfolio and is referred to as a "lodged tax effect." Large changes in the fair value of our available for sale securities, primarily during 2008 through 2010, combined with fluctuations in our tax rate during those periods, generated a lodged tax benefit of $544.6 million. As a result of recent steps to improve our Corporate investment management efforts, we sold the remaining portion of our available for sale portfolio in the second quarter of 2019, which resulted in the realization of the $544.6 million tax benefit. While this realization did not impact total equity, it resulted in a tax benefit reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Operations of $544.6 million and, as a result, Retained earnings increased and Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) decreased by corresponding amounts.

Our provisions for income taxes from continuing operations were $90.4 million and $51.6 million ~~respectively, representing an effective tax rate~~for the third quarter and first nine months of ~~33.1% and 14.8%,~~2018, respectively. Our provision for income taxes for the first nine months ~~ended September 30,~~of 2018 was reduced by a $43.9 million benefit resulting from a reversal of our valuation allowance with respect to certain federal and state net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") which we ~~now believe are~~determined were more likely than not to be utilized before they expire. ~~This benefit reduced our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 by approximately 12.6%.~~

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, our provisions for income taxes from continuing operations were $9.8 million and $127.2 million, respectively, representing an effective tax rate of 38.2% and 30.8%, respectively. Our provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was reduced by a $31.9 million benefit resulting from the repatriation of Jefferies Group's earnings from certain of its foreign subsidiaries, along with their associated foreign tax credits. This benefit reduced our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 by approximately 7.7%.

Discontinued Operations

On June 5, 2018, we sold 48% of National Beef to Marfrig Global Foods S.A. ("Marfrig") for $907.7 million in cash, reducing our ownership in National Beef to 31%. The sale of National Beef meets the ~~GAAP~~ criteria under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") to be classified as a discontinued operation as the sale represents a strategic shift in our operations and financial results. As such, we classified the results of National Beef prior to June 5, 2018 as

a discontinued operation and it is reported in Income from discontinued operations, net of income tax provision in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, we recognized a pre-tax gain as a result of the transaction of $873.5 million ($643.9 million after-tax) for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, which has been recognized as Gain on disposal of discontinued operations, net of income tax provision in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

~~(1) Discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 include National Beef results through the June 5, 2018 transaction with Marfrig.~~

National Beef’s profitability is dependent, in large part, on the spread between its cost for live cattle, the primary raw material for its business, and the value received from selling boxed beef and other products, coupled with its overall volume. National Beef operates in a large and liquid commodity market and it does not have much influence over the price it pays for cattle or the selling price it receives for the products it produces. National Beef’s profitability typically fluctuates seasonally, with relatively higher margins in the spring and summer months and during times of ample cattle availability. Throughout 2018, demand for beef and cattle supply remained strong, supporting favorable margin conditions.

During the first nine months of 2018, we have also recorded a pre-tax gain on the National Beef transaction of $873.5 million ($643.9 million after-tax) which is reported in Gain on disposal of discontinued operations, net of income tax provision in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Included in the $873.5 million pre-tax gain on the sale of National Beef is approximately $352.4 million related to the remeasurement of our retained 31% interest in National Beef to fair value.

Selected ~~Balance Sheet~~Statement of Financial Condition Data

In addition to preparing our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition in accordance with ~~accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"),~~GAAP, we also review the tangible capital associated with each of our businesses and investments, which is a non-GAAP presentation and may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP presentations used by other companies. We believe that this information is useful to investors as it allows them to view our businesses and investments through the eyes of management while facilitating a comparison across historical periods. We define tangible capital as Total Jefferies Financial Group Inc. shareholders' equity less Intangible assets, net and goodwill. As a result of the announced transactions and our current operating strategy, we have made changes to the corporate segment to reflect the way we currently manage our business, and have reclassified the December 31, 2017 balances to conform to current year presentation.

During the third quarter of 2018, we sold 100% of our equity interests in Garcadia and our associated real estate to our former partners, the Garff family.

Corporate liquidity and other assets, net of Corporate liabilities, primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, financial instruments owned, the deferred tax asset (exclusive of Jefferies Group's deferred tax asset), ~~cash and cash equivalents,~~ net of long-term debt, trade payables and accruals, as well as our outstanding mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred shares.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Parent Company Liquidity

~~Parent company~~At the corporate level our assets principally consist of the stock or membership interests of our ~~subsidiary~~ businesses and investments, cash and cash equivalents and other noncontrolling investments in debt and equity securities. We continuously evaluate the retention and disposition of our existing operations and investments, and investigate possible acquisitions of new businesses and investments in order to maximize shareholder value. Accordingly, further acquisitions, divestitures, investments and changes in capital structure are possible. Our principal sources of funds are distributions from subsidiaries, proceeds from divestitures of existing businesses and investments, repayment of subsidiary advances, available cash resources, liquid investments, funds distributed from subsidiaries as tax sharing payments, public and private capital market transactions, and management and other fees.

Our cash requirements consist primarily of the payment of interest on our debt, dividends and corporate cash overhead expenses, as well as acquisitions of new businesses when determined to be in the best interest of our shareholders.

During the first nine months ~~ended September 30, 2018,~~of 2019, we received ~~$680.2~~$472.2 million of distributions from our existing subsidiary businesses, including ~~$411.6~~$272.0 million from Jefferies ~~Group. We also received $1,575.3~~Group, $121.8 million from ~~divestitures and repayments of advances, primarily from the sales of 48% of~~ National Beef and ~~100% of our equity interests in Garcadia and our associated real estate. Proceeds~~$60.0 million from ~~the sale of 48% of National Beef and total distributions received from National Beef for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were $1,207.7 million.~~HomeFed.

Our cash resources and investments that are easily convertible into cash within a relatively short period of time total ~~$2,312.9 million~~$1.4 billion at ~~September 30, 2018,~~August 31, 2019, and are primarily comprised of cash, ~~short-term bonds~~prime and ~~notes of the U.S. Government and its agencies,~~government money market funds and other publicly traded ~~debt and~~ equity securities. These are classified in our ~~balance sheet~~Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as cash and cash equivalents and trading assets. At August 31, 2019, $976.4 million of this amount is invested in U.S. government money funds that invest at least 99.5% of its total assets ~~available for sale~~in cash, securities issued by the U.S. government and ~~receivables.~~

U.S. government-sponsored entities, and repurchase agreements that are fully collateralized by cash or government securities.

Our short-term recurring cash requirements, ~~which are principally~~including the payment of interest on our debt, dividends and corporate cash overhead expenses, approximate ~~$297~~$286 million on an annual basis. Dividends paid during the first nine months ~~ended September 30, 2018~~ of ~~$111.8~~2019 of $112.5 million include quarterly dividends of ~~$0.10~~$0.125 per ~~share for each of the first two quarters and $0.125 for the third quarter.~~share. The payment of dividends is subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors and depends upon general business conditions, legal and contractual restrictions on the payment of dividends and other factors that the Board of Directors may deem to be relevant. Our recurring cash requirements typically do not include significant amounts for tax payments, as we have NOLs and other tax attributes which offset federal tax liabilities. In September 2019, the Jefferies Board of Directors approved a distribution to stockholders of Jefferies of the Spectrum Brands shares owned by Jefferies. Jefferies will distribute the 7,514,477 Spectrum Brands shares through a special pro rata dividend effective on October 11, 2019 to Jefferies stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 30, 2019.

~~The parent company’s~~Our primary long-term cash requirement is to make principal payments on ~~its~~the parent company's long-term debt ($1.0 billion principal outstanding as of ~~September 30, 2018)~~August 31, 2019), of which $750.0 million is due in 2023 and $250.0 million in 2043. We continue to use our available liquidity to make acquisitions of new businesses and other investments, additional contributions to existing businesses and ~~from time to time,~~ repurchases of our outstanding common shares. The timing of these events is influenced by many factors and therefore cannot be predicted.

In April 2018, Vitesse Energy Finance acquired a package of non-operated Bakken assets from a private equity fund for $190 million in cash, of which approximately $144 million was funded as equity by Jefferies and the balance was drawn under Vitesse Energy Finance’s credit line. The assets purchased include interests in mineral rights associated with future oil and gas development, as well as interests in existing cash flows from producing wells through revenue sharing arrangements.

In May 2018, we expanded our asset management efforts by forming a strategic relationship with Weiss Multi-Strategy Advisers LLC and invested $250.0 million in Weiss' strategy. We will receive a profit share in the first year, and a revenue share thereafter.

~~In June 2018, we completed the sale of 48% of National Beef to Marfrig for approximately $907.7 million in cash, reducing our ownership in National Beef to 31%.~~

~~In August 2018, we sold 100% of our equity interests in Garcadia and our associated real estate to our former partners, the Garff family for $417.2 million in cash.~~

Shares Outstanding

In ~~November 2012, our Board of Directors had authorized the purchase of up to 25,000,000 common shares. Between 2012 and 2017 we bought 12,500,000 common shares under this authorization. In April 2018,~~January 2019, the Board of Directors approved an ~~increase to our~~additional $500.0 million share repurchase ~~program to 25,000,000 common shares from the 12,500,000 million remaining under its prior~~ authorization. ~~In July 2018, the Board of Directors approved an increase to our share repurchase program of 25,000,000 common shares.~~ During the first nine months ~~ended September 30, 2018,~~of 2019, we purchased a total of ~~26,119,483~~17,725,361 of our common shares for ~~$630.9~~$352.1 million at an average price per share of $19.87 under this authorization. As of August 31, 2019, $147.9 million remains available for future repurchases under this authorization. Additionally, in connection with the HomeFed merger on July 1, 2019, our Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of an additional 9.25 million shares in the open market. In total, based on the closing stock price of Jefferies at August 31, 2019, we have approximately $320 million available for future repurchases.

At August 31, 2019, we had outstanding 299,867,942 common shares and 21,560,000 share-based awards that do not require the holder to pay any exercise price (potentially an aggregate of 321,427,942 outstanding common shares if all awards become

~~average price~~outstanding common shares). The 21,560,000 share-based awards include the target number of ~~$24.16 per~~shares under the senior executive award plan.

Through June 30, 2019, we owned an approximate 70% equity interest of HomeFed, which owns and develops residential and mixed-use real estate properties and accounted for our interest under the equity method. On July 1, 2019, we completed a merger with HomeFed by which we acquired the remaining common stock of HomeFed. From July 1, 2019, the results of HomeFed are reflected on a consolidated basis. In connection with the merger, HomeFed stockholders received two shares of our common stock for each share ~~under these authorizations. As~~ of ~~September 30, 2018, 23,880,517~~HomeFed common stock. A total of 9.3 million shares ~~remained authorized for repurchase.~~

were issued.

In February 2009, the Board of Directors authorized, ~~from time to time,~~ the purchase of our outstanding debt securities through cash purchases in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, depend upon prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements and other factors; such purchases may be commenced or suspended at any time without notice.

~~At September 30, 2018, we had outstanding 331,415,732 common shares~~Concentration, Liquidity and 20,557,000 share-based awards that do not require the holder to pay any exercise price (potentially an aggregate of 351,972,732 outstanding common shares if all awards become outstanding common shares). The 20,557,000 share-based awards include the target number of shares under the senior executive award plan, which is more fully discussed in Note 15.Leverage Targets

~~Credit Ratings~~

From time to time in the past, we have accessed public and private credit markets and raised capital in underwritten bond financings. The funds raised have been used by us for general corporate purposes, including for our existing businesses and new investment opportunities. In addition, the ratings of Jefferies are a factor considered by rating agencies that rate the debt of our subsidiary companies, including Jefferies Group, whose access to external financing is important to its day to day operations. Ratings issued by bond rating agencies, subject to change at any time, are as follows:



	Rating	Outlook
Moody’s Investors Service	~~Ba1~~Baa3	~~Positive~~Stable
Standard and Poor’s (1)	BBB-	~~Stable~~Positive
Fitch Ratings	BBB	Stable

(1) On July 11, 2019, Standard and Poor’s reaffirmed our long-term debt rating of BBB- and revised our rating outlook from stable to positive.

We target specific concentration, leverage and liquidity principles, expressed in the form of certain ratios and percentages, although there is no legal requirement to do so.

Concentration Target: As a diversification measure, we limit cash investments such that our single largest investment does not exceed 20% of equity excluding Jefferies Group, and that our next largest investment does not exceed 10% of equity excluding Jefferies Group, in each case measured at the time the investment was made. On this basis, Spectrum Brands is our largest investment excluding Jefferies Group and Vitesse Energy Finance is our next largest investment excluding Jefferies Group. National Beef is no longer considered our largest investment because we have received back cash in excess of our cumulative investments. There were no investments made during the year that approached 10% of equity excluding Jefferies Group.

Liquidity Target: We hold a liquidity reserve calculated as a minimum of twenty-four months of holding company expenses (excluding non-cash components), parent company interest, and dividends. Maturities of parent company debt within the upcoming year are also included in the target; however, our next maturity is during 2023 so there is no current inclusion.


Liquidity reserve (in thousands):	September 30, 2018		August 31, 2019
Minimum reserve under liquidity target	$	594,559	$	571,800
Actual liquidity	$	2,312,932	$	1,415,933

Leverage Target: We target a maximum parent debt to stressed equity ratio of .50, with stressed equity defined as equity (excluding Jefferies Group) assuming the loss of our two largest investments. When our liquidity exceeds the minimum required under our liquidity target, the excess is applied to debt for our leverage target calculation.

Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

As discussed above, we have historically relied on our available liquidity to meet short-term and long-term needs, and to make acquisitions of new businesses and investments. Except as otherwise disclosed herein, our operating businesses do not generally require significant funds to support their operating ~~activities, and we do not depend on positive cash flow from our operating segments to meet our liquidity needs.~~activities. The mix of our operating businesses and investments can change frequently as a result of acquisitions or divestitures, the timing of which is impossible to predict but which often have a significant impact on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in any one period. Further, the timing and amounts of distributions from investments in associated companies may be outside our control. As a result, reported cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities do not generally follow any particular pattern or trend, and reported results in the most recent period should not be expected to recur in any subsequent period.

Jefferies Group Liquidity

General

The Chief Financial Officer and Global Treasurer of Jefferies Group are responsible for developing and implementing liquidity, funding and capital management strategies for Jefferies Group's businesses. These policies are determined by the nature and needs of day to day business operations, business opportunities, regulatory obligations and liquidity requirements.

The actual levels of capital, total assets and financial leverage are a function of a number of factors, including asset composition, business initiatives and opportunities, regulatory requirements and cost and availability of both long-term and short-term funding. Jefferies Group has historically maintained a balance sheet consisting of a large portion of total assets in cash and liquid marketable

securities, arising principally from traditional securities brokerage and trading activity. The liquid nature of these assets provides flexibility in financing and managing Jefferies Group's business.

Jefferies Group maintains modest leverage to support its investment grade ratings. The growth of its balance sheet is supported by its equity and Jefferies Group has quantitative metrics in place to monitor leverage and double leverage. Jefferies Group capital plan is robust, in order to sustain its operating model through stressed conditions. Jefferies Group maintains adequate financial resources to support business activities in both normal and stressed market conditions, including a buffer in excess of regulatory, or other internal or external, requirements. Jefferies Group's access to funding and liquidity is stable and efficient to ensure that there is sufficient liquidity to meet its financial obligations in normal and stressed market conditions.

A business unit level balance sheet and cash capital analysis is prepared and reviewed with senior management on a weekly basis. As a part of this balance sheet review process, capital is allocated to all assets and gross balance sheet limits are adjusted, as necessary. This process ensures that the allocation of capital and costs of capital are incorporated into business decisions. The goals of this process are to protect Jefferies Group's platform, enable the businesses to remain competitive, maintain the ability to manage capital proactively and hold businesses accountable for both balance sheet and capital usage.

Jefferies Group actively monitors and evaluates its financial condition and the composition of its assets and liabilities. The overall securities inventory is continually monitored by Jefferies Group, including the inventory turnover rate, which confirms the liquidity of overall assets. Substantially all of Jefferies Group's financial instruments are valued on a daily basis and Jefferies Group monitors and employs balance sheet limits for its various businesses.

At ~~September 30, 2018,~~August 31, 2019, our Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition includes Jefferies Group's Level 3 trading assets that are approximately 2% of total trading assets.

Securities financing assets and liabilities include financing for financial instruments trading activity, matched book transactions and mortgage finance transactions. Matched book transactions accommodate customers, as well as obtain securities for the settlement and financing of inventory positions.

The following table presents Jefferies Group's period end balance, average balance and maximum balance at any month end within the periods presented for Securities purchased under agreements to resell and Securities sold under agreements to repurchase (in millions):


	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018		Year Ended December 31, 2017		Nine Months Ended August 31, 2019		Year Ended November 30, 2018

Maximum month end	$	15,579	$	13,679	19,654		15,579

Fluctuations in the balance of Jefferies Group's repurchase agreements from period to period and intraperiod are dependent on business activity in those periods. Additionally, the fluctuations in the balances of Jefferies Group's securities purchased under agreements to resell ~~over the periods presented~~ are influenced in any given period by its ~~clients’~~clients' balances and its clients' desires to execute collateralized financing arrangements via the repurchase market or via other financing products. Average balances and period end balances will fluctuate based on market and liquidity conditions and Jefferies Group considers the fluctuations intraperiod to be typical for the repurchase market.

Liquidity Management

The key objectives of Jefferies Group's liquidity management framework are to support the successful execution of its business strategies while ensuring sufficient liquidity through the business cycle and during periods of financial distress. The liquidity

management policies are designed to mitigate the potential risk that adequate financing may not be accessible to service financial obligations without material franchise or business impact.

The principal elements of Jefferies Group's liquidity management framework are the Contingency Funding Plan, the Cash Capital Policy and the assessment of Maximum Liquidity Outflow.

Contingency Funding Plan. Jefferies Group's Contingency Funding Plan is based on a model of a potential liquidity contraction over a one year time period. This incorporates potential cash outflows during a liquidity stress event, including, but not limited to, the following:

Repayment of all unsecured debt maturing within one year and no incremental unsecured debt issuance;

Maturity rolloff of outstanding letters of credit with no further issuance and replacement with cash collateral;

Higher margin requirements than currently exist on assets on securities financing activity, including repurchase agreements;

Liquidity outflows related to possible credit downgrade;

Lower availability of secured funding;

Client cash withdrawals;

The anticipated funding of outstanding investment and loan commitments; and

Certain accrued expenses and other liabilities and fixed costs.

Cash Capital Policy. A cash capital model is maintained that measures long-term funding sources against requirements. Sources of cash capital include equity and the noncurrent portion of long-term borrowings. Uses of cash capital include the following:

Illiquid assets such as equipment, goodwill, net intangible assets, exchange memberships, deferred tax assets and certain investments;

A portion of securities inventory that is not expected to be financed on a secured basis in a credit stressed environment (i.e., margin requirements); and

Drawdowns of unfunded commitments.

To ensure that Jefferies Group does not need to liquidate inventory in the event of a funding crisis, Jefferies Group seeks to maintain surplus cash capital, which is reflected in the leverage ratios Jefferies Group maintains. Jefferies Group's total long-term capital of ~~$11.3~~$12.2 billion at ~~September 30, 2018~~August 31, 2019 exceeded its cash capital requirements.

Maximum Liquidity Outflow. Jefferies Group's businesses are diverse, and liquidity needs are determined by many factors, including market movements, collateral requirements and client commitments, all of which can change dramatically in a difficult funding environment. During a liquidity crisis, credit-sensitive funding, including unsecured debt and some types of secured financing agreements, may be unavailable, and the terms (e.g., interest rates, collateral provisions and tenor) or availability of other types of secured financing may change. As a result of Jefferies Group's policy to ensure it has sufficient funds to cover estimates of what may be needed in a liquidity crisis, Jefferies Group holds more cash and unencumbered securities and has greater long-term debt balances than the businesses would otherwise require. As part of this estimation process, Jefferies Group calculates a Maximum Liquidity Outflow that could be experienced in a liquidity crisis. Maximum Liquidity Outflow is based on a scenario that includes both a market-wide stress and firm-specific stress.

Based on the sources and uses of liquidity calculated under the Maximum Liquidity Outflow scenarios, Jefferies Group determines, based on its calculated surplus or deficit, additional long-term funding that may be needed versus funding through the repurchase financing market and considers any adjustments that may be necessary to Jefferies Group's inventory balances and cash holdings. At ~~September 30, 2018,~~August 31, 2019, Jefferies Group had sufficient excess liquidity to meet all contingent cash outflows detailed in the Maximum Liquidity Outflow. Jefferies Group regularly refines its model to reflect changes in market or economic conditions and the ~~firm’s~~firm's business mix.

At August 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018, $3,247.0 million and $2,250.0 million, respectively, was invested in U.S. government money funds that invest at least 99.5% of its total assets in cash, securities issued by the U.S. government and U.S. government-sponsored entities, and repurchase agreements that are fully collateralized by cash or government securities. The remaining $62.4 million and $562.4 million at August 31, 2019 and November 30, 2018, respectively, are invested in Triple A rated prime money funds. The average balance of U.S. government money funds for the quarter ended August 31, 2019 was $1,023.3 million.

Consists of high quality sovereign government securities and reverse repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. government securities and other high quality sovereign government securities; deposits with a central bank within the European Economic Area, Canada, Australia, Japan, Switzerland or the U.S.; and securities issued by a designated multilateral development bank and reverse repurchase agreements with underlying collateral comprised of these securities.


~~(3)~~(4)	Other includes unencumbered inventory representing an estimate of the amount of additional secured financing that could be reasonably expected to be obtained from financial instruments owned that are currently not pledged after considering reasonable financing haircuts.

In addition to the cash balances and liquidity pool presented above, the majority of trading assets and liabilities are actively traded and readily marketable. ~~Repurchase~~At August 31, 2019, repurchase financing can be readily obtained for approximately ~~79.4%~~73.7% of Jefferies Group's inventory at haircuts of 10% or less, which reflects the liquidity of the inventory. In addition, as a matter of Jefferies Group's policy, all of these assets have internal capital assessed, which is in addition to the funding haircuts provided in the securities finance markets. Additionally, certain of Jefferies Group's trading assets primarily consisting of bank loans, consumer loans and investments are predominantly funded by Jefferies Group's long-term capital. Under Jefferies Group's cash capital policy, capital allocation levels are modeled that are more stringent than the haircuts used in the market for secured funding; and surplus capital is maintained at these more stringent levels. Jefferies Group continually assesses the liquidity of its inventory based on the level at which Jefferies Group could obtain financing in the market place for a given asset. Assets are considered to be liquid if financing can be obtained in the repurchase market or the securities lending market at collateral haircut levels of 10% or less.

The following summarizes Jefferies Group's trading assets by asset class that are considered to be of a liquid nature and the amount of such assets that have not been pledged as collateral as reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition (in thousands):

Sources of Funding

Secured Financing

Readily available secured funding is used to finance Jefferies Group's inventory of financial ~~instruments inventory. The~~instruments. Jefferies Group's ability ~~of Jefferies Group~~ to support increases in total assets is largely a function of the ability to obtain short and ~~intermediate term~~intermediate-term secured funding, primarily through securities financing transactions. Repurchase or reverse repurchase agreements (collectively "repos"), respectively, are used to finance a portion of long inventory and cover ~~a portion~~some of short inventory ~~through~~by pledging and borrowing securities. Approximately ~~71.1%~~71.2% of Jefferies Group's cash and ~~non-cash~~noncash repurchase financing activities use collateral that is considered eligible collateral by central clearing corporations. Central clearing corporations are situated between participating members who borrow cash and lend securities (or vice versa); accordingly, repo participants contract with the central clearing corporation and not one another individually. Therefore, counterparty credit risk is borne by the central clearing corporation which mitigates the risk through initial margin demands and variation margin calls from repo participants. The comparatively large proportion of Jefferies Group's total repo activity that is eligible for central clearing reflects the high quality and liquid composition of its trading inventory. For those asset classes not eligible for central clearing house financing, Jefferies Group seeks to execute its bi-lateral financings ~~are sought~~ on an extended term basis and the tenor of Jefferies Group's repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements generally exceeds the expected holding period of the assets Jefferies Group is financing. The weighted average maturity of cash and ~~non-cash~~noncash repurchase agreements for non-clearing corporation eligible funded inventory is approximately ~~four~~five months at ~~September 30, 2018.~~August 31, 2019.

Jefferies Group's ability to finance its inventory via central clearinghouses and bi-lateral arrangements is augmented by Jefferies Group's ability to draw bank loans on an uncommitted basis under its various banking arrangements. ~~As of September 30, 2018,~~At August 31, 2019, short-term borrowings, which must be repaid within one year or less and include bank loans and overdrafts, borrowings under revolving credit facilities and structured notes totaled ~~$382.0~~$518.9 million. Interest under the bank lines is generally at a spread over the federal funds rate. Letters of credit are used in the normal course of business mostly to satisfy various collateral requirements in favor of exchanges in lieu of depositing cash or securities. Average daily short-term borrowings outstanding for Jefferies Group were ~~$422.9~~$496.5 million and ~~$498.6~~$580.8 million for the ~~three~~third quarter and first nine months ~~ended September 30, 2018,~~of 2019, respectively.

Jefferies Group's short-term borrowings include ~~an Intraday Credit Facility, whereby~~ the Bank of New York Mellon has agreed to make revolving intraday credit advances for an aggregate committed amount of $150.0 million. The Intraday Credit Facility contains financial covenants, which includes a minimum regulatory net capital requirement for its U.S. broker-dealer. Interest is based on the higher of the Federal funds effective rate plus 0.5% or the prime rate. During the nine months ended September 30,following facilities:

•

Credit Facility. On December 27, 2018, one of Jefferies Group's subsidiaries entered into a credit facility agreement ("Jefferies Group Credit Facility") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. for a committed amount of $135.0 million. Interest is based on an annual alternative base rate or an adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), as defined in the Jefferies Group Credit Facility. The Jefferies Group Credit Facility contains certain covenants that, among other things, require Jefferies Group LLC to maintain a specified level of tangible net worth. The covenants also require the borrower to maintain specified leverage amounts and impose certain restrictions on the borrower’s future indebtedness. During the first nine months of 2019, Jefferies Group was in compliance with all debt covenants under the Jefferies Group Credit Facility.

•

Intraday Credit Facility. The Bank of New York Mellon has agreed to make revolving intraday credit advances ("Jefferies Group Intraday Credit Facility") for an aggregate committed amount of $150.0 million. The Jefferies Group Intraday Credit Facility contains financial covenants, which include a minimum regulatory net capital requirement for Jefferies Group's U.S. broker-dealer, Jefferies LLC. Interest is based on the higher of the Federal funds effective rate plus 0.5% or the prime rate. During the first nine months of 2019, Jefferies Group was in compliance with all debt covenants under the Jefferies Group Intraday Credit Facility.

On March 28, 2019, Jefferies Group entered into a promissory note with Jefferies Finance, which was ~~in compliance with all debt covenants under the Intraday Credit Facility.~~repaid on May 15, 2019.

In addition to the above financing arrangements, Jefferies Group issues notes backed by eligible collateral under a master repurchase agreement, which provides an additional financing source for its inventory ("repurchase agreement financing program").

Long-Term Debt

Jefferies Group's long-term debt reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition at ~~September 30, 2018~~August 31, 2019 is ~~$6.6~~$6.8 billion. Jefferies Group's long-term debt, excluding its revolving credit facility, has a weighted average maturity of approximately ~~8.8~~9.0 years.

On July 19, 2019, under its $2.5 billion Euro Medium Term Note Program, Jefferies ~~Group's next scheduled maturity is the $680.8 million~~Group issued 1.000% senior unsecured notes with a principal amount of ~~8.5% Senior Notes that mature in July 2019.~~

~~On May 16, 2018,~~$553.6 million, due 2024. Proceeds amounted to $551.4 million. Additionally, during the first nine months of 2019, Jefferies Group ~~entered into~~repaid $680.8 million of its 8.50% Senior Notes.

Jefferies Group has a ~~senior secured revolving credit facility~~Revolving Credit Facility ("Jefferies Group Revolving Credit Facility") with a group of commercial banks for an aggregate principal amount of ~~at $160.0~~$190.0 million. At ~~September 30, 2018,~~August 31, 2019, borrowings under the Jefferies Group Revolving Credit Facility amounted to ~~$158.5~~$188.9 million. Interest is based on an annual alternative base rate or an adjusted LIBOR, as defined in the Jefferies Group Revolving Credit Facility agreement. The Jefferies Group Revolving Credit Facility contains certain covenants that, among other things, requires Jefferies Group LLC to maintain specified level of tangible net worth and liquidity amounts, and imposes certain restrictions on future indebtedness of and requires specified levels of regulated capital for certain of its subsidiaries. Throughout the period and at ~~September 30, 2018,~~August 31, 2019, no instances of noncompliance with the Jefferies Group Revolving Credit Facility covenants occurred and Jefferies Group expects to remain in compliance given its current liquidity, and anticipated funding requirements given its business plan and profitability expectations.

Jefferies Group's long-term debt ratings are as follows:



	Rating	Outlook
Moody’s Investors Service	Baa3	Stable
Standard and Poor’s (1)	BBB-	~~Stable~~Positive
Fitch Ratings	BBB	Stable

(1) On July 11, 2019, Standard and Poor’s reaffirmed Jefferies Group's long-term debt rating of BBB- and revised its rating outlook from stable to positive.

Jefferies Group's access to external financing to finance its day to day operations, as well as the cost of that financing, is dependent upon various factors, including its debt ratings. Jefferies Group's current debt ratings are dependent upon many factors, including industry dynamics, operating and economic environment, operating results, operating margins, earnings trend and volatility, balance sheet composition, liquidity and liquidity management, capital structure, overall risk management, business diversification and market share and competitive position in the markets in which it operates. Deteriorations in any of these factors could impact

Jefferies Group's credit ratings. While certain aspects of a credit rating downgrade are quantifiable pursuant to contractual provisions, the impact on its business and trading results in future periods is inherently uncertain and depends on a number of factors, including the magnitude of the downgrade, the behavior of individual clients and future mitigating action taken by Jefferies Group.

In connection with certain ~~OTC~~over-the-counter derivative contract arrangements and certain other trading arrangements, Jefferies Group may be required to provide additional collateral to counterparties, exchanges and clearing organizations in the event of a credit rating downgrade. At ~~September 30, 2018,~~August 31, 2019, the amount of additional collateral that could be called by counterparties, exchanges and clearing organizations under the terms of such agreements in the event of a downgrade of Jefferies Group's long-term credit rating below investment grade was ~~$83.2~~$96.5 million. For certain foreign clearing organizations, credit rating is only one of several factors employed in determining collateral that could be called. The above represents ~~management’s~~management's best estimate for additional collateral to be called in the event of credit rating downgrade. The impact of additional collateral requirements is considered in Jefferies Group's Contingency Funding Plan and calculation of Maximum Liquidity Outflow, as described above.

Ratings issued by credit rating agencies are subject to change at any time.

Net Capital

Jefferies Group operates a broker-dealer registered with the SEC and member firms of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). Jefferies LLC is subject to the ~~Securities and Exchange Commission~~SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule ("Rule 15c3-1"), which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and has elected to calculate minimum capital requirements using the alternative method permitted by Rule 15c3-1 in calculating net capital. Jefferies LLC, as a dually-registered U.S. broker-dealer and futures commission merchant ("FCM"), is also subject to Rule 1.17 of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC"), which sets forth minimum financial requirements. The minimum net capital requirement in determining excess net capital for a dually-registered U.S. broker-dealer and FCM is equal to the greater of the requirement under Rule 15c3-1 or CFTC Rule 1.17. Jefferies ~~LLC’s~~LLC's net capital and excess net capital ~~as of September 30, 2018~~at August 31, 2019 were ~~$1,917.6~~$1,474.2 million and ~~$1,806.2~~$1,356.5 million, respectively. FINRA is the designated examining authority for Jefferies Group's U.S. broker-dealer and the National Futures Association is the designated self-regulatory organization for Jefferies LLC as an FCM.

Certain other U.S. and non-U.S. subsidiaries of Jefferies Group are subject to capital adequacy requirements as prescribed by the regulatory authorities in their respective jurisdictions, including Jefferies International Limited which is subject to the regulatory supervision and requirements of the Financial Conduct Authority in the United Kingdom. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act") was signed into law on July 21, 2010. The Dodd-Frank Act contains provisions that require the registration of all swap dealers, major swap participants, security-based swap dealers, and/or major security-based swap participants. While entities that register under these provisions will be subject to regulatory capital requirements, these regulatory capital requirements have not yet been finalized. Jefferies Group expects that these provisions will result in modifications to the regulatory capital requirements of some of its entities, and will result in some of its other entities becoming subject to regulatory capital requirements for the first time, including Jefferies Financial Services, Inc., which registered as a swap dealer with the CFTC during January 2013 and Jefferies Financial Products LLC, which registered during August 2014. The regulatory capital requirements referred to above may restrict Jefferies Group's ability to withdraw capital from its regulated subsidiaries.

On March 29, 2017, the United Kingdom notified the European Council and triggered a period to negotiate its withdrawal from the European Union ("Brexit"). While, there is ongoing uncertainty as to the terms and any potential transition periods related to Brexit, Jefferies Group has taken steps to ensure its ability to provide services to its European clients without interruption. As such, Jefferies Group has established a wholly-owned subsidiary of its U.K. broker-dealer in Germany, which has been approved as an authorized MiFID investment firm by the German regulator and which will enable Jefferies Group to conduct business across all of its European investment banking, fixed income and equity platforms. Jefferies Group's plans contemplate providing sufficient capital pursuant to the regulatory requirements for the planned operations as well pursuant to requirements of relevant clearing organizations.

Some of our other consolidated subsidiaries also have credit agreements which may restrict the payment of cash dividends, or the ability to make loans or advances to the parent company.

Off-Balance Sheet Risk

Jefferies Group has contractual commitments arising in the ordinary course of business for securities loaned or purchased under agreements to resell, repurchase agreements, future purchases and sales of foreign currencies, securities transactions on a when-issued basis and underwriting. Each of these financial instruments and activities contains varying degrees of off-balance sheet risk

whereby the fair values of the securities underlying the financial instruments may be in excess of, or less than, the contract amount. The settlement of these transactions is not expected to have a material effect upon our consolidated financial statements.

In the normal course of business, we engage in other off-balance sheet arrangements, including derivative contracts. Neither derivatives’ notional amounts nor underlying instrument values are reflected as assets or liabilities in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Rather, the fair values of derivative contracts are reported in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as Trading assets, at fair value or Trading liabilities, at fair value, as applicable. Derivative contracts are reflected net of cash paid or received pursuant to credit support agreements and are reported on a net by counterparty basis when a legal right of offset exists under an enforceable master netting agreement.

Jefferies Group

Overview

Risk is an inherent part of Jefferies Group's business and activities. The ~~potential~~extent to which it properly and effectively identifies, assesses, monitors

and manages each of the various types of risk involved in its activities is critical to Jefferies Group's financial soundness, viability and profitability. Accordingly, Jefferies Group has a comprehensive risk management approach, with a formal governance structure and processes to identify, assess, monitor and manage risk. Principal risks involved in its business activities include market, credit, liquidity and capital, operational, legal and compliance, new business and reputational risk.

Risk management is a multifaceted process that requires communication, judgment and knowledge of financial products and markets. Jefferies Group's risk management process encompasses the active involvement of executive and senior management, and also many departments independent of the revenue-producing business units, including its Risk Management, Operations, Compliance, Legal and Finance Departments. Jefferies Group's risk management policies, procedures and methodologies are flexible in nature and are subject to ongoing review and modification.

In achieving its strategic business objectives, Jefferies Group's risk appetite incorporates keeping its clients’ interests at the top of its priority

list and ensuring it is in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, as well as adhering to the highest ethical standards. Jefferies Group undertakes prudent and conservative risk-taking that protects the capital base and franchise, utilizing risk limits and tolerances that avoid outsized risk-taking. Jefferies Group maintains a diversified business mix and avoid significant concentrations to any sector, product, geography, or activity and sets quantitative concentration limits to manage this risk. Jefferies Group considers contagion, second order effects and correlation in its risk assessment process and actively seeks out value opportunities of all sizes. It manages the risk of opportunities larger than its approved risk levels through risk sharing and risk distribution, sell-down and hedging as appropriate. Jefferies Group has a limited appetite for ~~changes~~illiquid assets and complex derivative financial instruments. It maintains the asset quality of its balance sheet through conducting trading activity in liquid markets and generally ensures high turnover of its inventory. Jefferies Group subjects less liquid positions and derivative financial instruments to oversight and uses a wide variety of specific metrics, limits, and constraints to manage these risks. It protects its reputation and franchise, as well as its standing within the market. Jefferies Group operates a federated approach to risk management with risk oversight responsibilities assigned to those areas of the business that have the appropriate knowledge.

For discussion of liquidity and capital risk management, refer to the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section herein.

Risk Considerations

Jefferies Group applies a comprehensive framework of limits on a variety of key metrics to constrain the risk profile of its business activities. The size of the limits reflects its risk tolerance for a certain activity under normal business conditions. Key metrics included in its risk management framework include inventory position and exposure limits on a gross and net basis, scenario analysis and stress tests, Value-at-Risk ("VaR"), sensitivities, exposure concentrations, aged inventory, amount of Level 3 assets, counterparty exposure, leverage and cash capital.

Jefferies Group's market risk ~~generally represents the~~principally arises from interest rate risk, of loss that may result from a change in the value of a financial instrument as a result of fluctuations in interest rates, credit spreads, equity prices, commodity prices and foreign exchange rates, along with the level of volatility.

Position limits in trading and inventory accounts are established and monitored on an ongoing basis. Each day, consolidated position and exposure reports are prepared and distributed to various levels of management, which enable management to monitor inventory levels and the results of ~~the~~its trading ~~groups.~~businesses.

Value-at-Risk

~~Within~~VaR is a statistical estimate of the potential loss from adverse market movements over a specified time horizon within a specified probability (confidence level). It provides a common risk measure across financial instruments, markets and asset classes. Jefferies Group ~~Value-at-Risk ("VaR") is used as a measurement of market risk~~estimates VaR using a model that simulates revenue and loss distributions on its trading portfolios by applying historical market changes to the current portfolio. ~~Using the results of this simulation, VaR measures the potential loss in value of its financial instruments due to adverse market movements over a specified time horizon at a given confidence level.~~ Jefferies Group calculates a ~~one-day~~one day VaR using a one year look-back period measured at a 95% confidence level.

As with all measures of VaR, the estimate has inherent limitations due to the assumption that historical changes in market conditions are representative of the future. Furthermore, the VaR model measures the risk of a current static position over a ~~one-day~~one day horizon and might not capture the market risk over a longer time horizon where moves may be more extreme. Previous changes in market risk factors may not generate accurate predictions of ~~positions that cannot be liquidated or offset with hedges in a one-day period.

While Jefferies Group believes the assumptions and inputs in its risk model are reasonable, Jefferies Group could incur losses greater than the reported ~~VaR because the historical market prices and rates changes may not be an accurate measure of future market events and conditions.~~VaR. Consequently, this VaR estimate is only one of a number of tools Jefferies Group uses in its daily risk management activities. ~~When comparing~~

The following table illustrates each separate component of VaR for each component of market risk by interest rate, equity, currency and commodity products, as well as for Jefferies Group's overall trading positions using the past 365 days of historical data.

The aggregated VaR presented here is less than the sum of the individual components (i.e., interest rate risk, foreign exchange rate risk, equity risk and commodity price risk) due to the benefit of diversification among the four risk categories. Diversification benefit equals the difference between aggregated VaR and the sum of VaRs for the four risk categories and arises because the market risk categories are not perfectly correlated. ~~Since we consolidate Jefferies Group on a one month lag, all amounts reported are for Jefferies Group's quarterly and annual fiscal periods.~~

~~(1)~~	~~For the VaR numbers reported above, a one-day time horizon, with a one year look-back period, and a 95% confidence level were used.~~


~~(2)~~	The diversification effect is not applicable for the maximum and minimum VaR values as Jefferies Group's VaR and VaR values for the four risk categories might have occurred on different days during the period.

Average daily VaR increased to $7.53 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 from $6.78 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily due to higher equity price risk driven by equity block trading activity during the latter half of the quarter.

The primary method used to test the efficacy of the VaR model is to compare actual daily net revenue for those positions included in the VaR calculation with the daily VaR estimate. This evaluation is performed at various levels of the trading portfolio, from the ~~holding company~~overall level down

to specific business lines. For the VaR model, trading related revenue is defined as principal transactions ~~revenue,~~revenues, trading related commissions, revenue from securitization activities and net interest income.

For a 95% confidence one day VaR model (i.e., no intra-day trading), assuming current changes in market value are consistent with the historical changes used in the calculation, net trading losses would not be expected to exceed the VaR estimates more than twelve times on an annual basis (i.e., once in every 20 days). During the ~~three months ended September 30, 2018,~~third quarter of 2019, results of the evaluation at the aggregate level demonstrated ~~no days~~one day when the net trading loss exceeded the 95% one day ~~VaR.~~VaR, due to an equity block position. There were ten days with trading losses out of a total of 64 trading days in the third quarter of 2019.

Other Risk Measures

Certain positions within financial instruments are not included in the VaR model because VaR is not the most appropriate measure of risk. Accordingly, Jefferies Group's Risk Management has additional procedures in place to assure that the level of potential loss that would arise from market movements are within acceptable levels. Such procedures include performing stress tests, monitoring concentration risk and tracking price target/stop loss levels. The table below presents the potential reduction in net income associated with a 10% stress of the fair value of the positions that are not included in the VaR model at ~~September 30, 2018~~August 31, 2019 (in thousands):


	10% Sensitivity		10% Sensitivity

Private investments	$	20,567	27,451

Trade claims	$	5,135	4,269

(1) Includes investments in hedge funds, fund of funds and private equity funds. For additional information on these investments, see Note 3 in our consolidated financial statements.

VaR also excludes the impact of changes in Jefferies Group's own credit spreads on its structured notes for which the fair value option was elected. The estimated credit spread risk sensitivity for each one basis point widening in Jefferies Group's own credit spreads on financial liabilities for which the fair value option was elected was an increase in value of approximately ~~$1.0~~$1.12 million at ~~September 30, 2018,~~August 31, 2019, which is included in Accumulated other comprehensive ~~income.~~income (loss).

There were 11 days with trading losses out of a total of 65 trading days in the three months ended September 30, 2018. Jefferies Group's trading loss days were primarily attributed to block trading activities, for which certain positions have subsequently been liquidated since quarter end.

Stress Tests and Scenario Analysis ~~and~~

Stress ~~Tests~~

~~While VaR measures potential losses due to adverse changes in historical market prices and rates, Jefferies Group uses stress testing~~tests are used to analyze the potential impact of specific events or ~~moderate or~~ extreme market moves on ~~its~~the current portfolio both ~~firm wide~~firmwide and within business segments. Stress testing is an important part of Jefferies Group's risk management approach because it allows Jefferies Group to quantify its exposure to tail risks, highlight potential loss concentrations, undertake risk/reward analysis, set risk controls and overall assess and mitigate its risk.

Jefferies Group employs a range of stress scenarios, which comprise both historical market price and rate changes and hypothetical market environments, and generally involve simultaneous changes of many risk factors. Indicative market changes in Jefferies Group's scenarios include, but are not limited to, a large widening of credit spreads, a substantial decline in equities markets, significant moves in selected emerging markets, large moves in interest rates and changes in the shape of the yield curve and large moves in European markets. In addition, Jefferies Group also performs ad hoc stress tests and adds new scenarios as market conditions dictate. Because Jefferies Group's stress scenarios are meant to reflect market moves that occur over a period of time, its estimates of potential loss assume some level of position reduction for liquid positions. curve.

Unlike ~~Jefferies Group's~~ VaR, which measures potential losses within a given confidence interval, stress scenarios do not have an associated implied ~~probability; rather,~~probability. Rather, stress testing is used to estimate the potential loss from market moves that tend to be larger than those embedded in the VaR calculation. Stress testing complements VaR to cover for potential limitations of VaR such as the breakdown in correlations, non-linear risks, tail risk and extreme events and capturing market moves beyond the confidence levels assumed in the VaR calculations.

Stress testing is performed and reported ~~regularly~~at least weekly as part of ~~the~~Jefferies Group's risk management ~~process. Stress testing is used~~process and on an ad hoc basis in response to market events or concerns. Current stress tests provide estimated revenue and loss of the current portfolio through a range of both historical and hypothetical events. The stress scenarios are reviewed and assessed at least annually so that they remain relevant and up to date with market developments. Additional hypothetical scenarios are also conducted on a sub-portfolio basis to assess ~~Jefferies Group's aggregate risk position~~the impact of any relevant idiosyncratic stress events as ~~well as for limit setting and risk/reward analysis.~~needed.

Counterparty Credit Risk and Issuer Country Exposure

Counterparty Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss due to adverse changes in a ~~counterparty’s~~counterparty's credit worthiness or its ability or willingness to meet its financial obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions of a financial contract.Jefferies Group is exposed to credit risk as a trading counterparty to other broker-dealers and customers, as a direct lender and through extending loan commitments, as a holder of securities and as a member of exchanges and clearing organizations.

~~It is critical to~~ Credit exposure exists across a wide-range of products, including cash and cash equivalents, loans, securities finance transactions and over-the-counter derivative contracts. The main sources of Jefferies Group's ~~financial soundness~~credit risk are:

Loans and ~~profitability~~lending arising in connection with Jefferies Group's capital markets activities, which reflects its exposure at risk on a default event with no recovery of loans. Current exposure represents loans that have been drawn by the borrower and lending commitments that are outstanding. In addition, credit exposures on forward settling traded loans are included within our loans and lending exposures for consistency with the balance sheet categorization of these items. Loans and lending also arise in connection with Jefferies Group's portion of a Secured Revolving Credit Facility that is with Jefferies Group ~~properly~~ and ~~effectively identify, assess, monitor~~Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, to be funded equally, to support loan underwritings by Jefferies Finance.

Current counterparty credit exposures are summarized in the tables below and provided by credit quality, region and industry. Credit exposures presented take netting and collateral into consideration by counterparty and master agreement. Collateral taken into consideration includes both collateral received as cash as well as collateral received in the form of securities or other arrangements. Current exposure is the loss that would be incurred on a particular set of positions in the event of default by the counterparty, assuming no recovery. Current exposure equals the fair value of the positions less collateral. Issuer risk is the credit risk arising from inventory positions (for example, corporate debt securities and secondary bank loans). Issuer risk is included in Jefferies Group's country risk exposure tables below. Of Jefferies Group's counterparty credit exposure at September 30, 2018, excluding cash and cash equivalents, the percentage of investment grade counterparties remained flat at 92% when compared with December 31, 2017, with a majority concentrated in North America.

When comparing Jefferies Group's credit exposure at September 30, 2018 with credit exposure at December 31, 2017, excluding cash and cash equivalents, current exposure decreased to approximately $1,114 million from $1,353 million. Counterparty credit exposure from OTC derivatives decreased by 35%, primarily driven by investment grade North American banks and broker-dealers, and exposure from both loans and lending and from securities and margin finance decreased by 13% during the period.

Jefferies Group's net issuer and counterparty risk exposure to Puerto Rico of $35.5 million at August 31, 2019 is in connection with its municipal securities market-making activities. The government of Puerto Rico, amid a severe political crisis, is continuing its efforts to restructure its $74.0 billion in debt, with these efforts reaching a critical point, as discussions with creditors progress and federal support is expected. At August 31, 2019, Jefferies Group had no other material exposure to countries where either sovereign or non-sovereign sectors potentially pose potential default risk as the result of liquidity concerns.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

The information set forth in response to this Item 1 is incorporated by reference from the "Contingencies" section in Note ~~20,~~19, Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees, in the Notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report, which is incorporated herein by reference.

~~Item 1A. Risk Factors.~~

Our semi-annual estimates of the fair values of holdings of certain of our merchant banking investments may differ from what can be realized and how these investments are reflected in our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

During our October 2018 Investor Meeting, we disclosed our intention to provide semi-annual disclosures relating to the estimated fair value of our holdings of certain merchant banking investments, some of which are consolidated. These semi-annual estimates may differ from how these investments are reflected in our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Factors to consider in connection with reviewing these semi-annual estimates of fair value include, but are not limited to, the following:

~~These estimates are forward-looking statements and should be read in connection with our Cautionary Statement for Forward-Looking Information.~~

~~Although we believe these estimates to be fair and reasonable, these semi-annual estimates may differ materially from realized values or future estimates.~~

~~Our semi-annual fair values are, indeed, estimates only and are subject to change.~~

~~We may determine to change the timing of providing these semi-annual estimates or stop providing such estimates at any time and for any reason.~~

~~Management does not necessarily use these estimates in making business decisions regarding the operation of our business or any decision relating to these investments.~~

~~These estimates may constitute non-GAAP financial measures and should be should be read in connection with disclosures relating to our use of non-GAAP financial measures.~~
