NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

Consolidated Financial Statements

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Jefferies Group, Inc. (“Group”) and all its subsidiaries (“Company”), including Jefferies & Company, Inc. (“JEFCO”). The accounts of W & D Securities, Inc. (“W & D”) are consolidated because of the nature and extent of Group’s ownership interest in W & D. The Company and its subsidiaries operate and are managed as a single business segment, that of a securities broker-dealer, which includes several types of financial services, such as principal and agency transactions in equity, convertible debt and high yield, as well as corporate finance activities. Since the Company’s services are provided using the same distribution channels, support services and facilities and all are provided to meet client needs, the Company does not identify assets or allocate all expenses to any service, or class of service as a separate business segment.

     All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair statement of the results for the interim periods and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report for the year ended December 31, 2000.

Securities Transactions

     All transactions in securities, commission revenues and related expenses are recorded on a trade-date basis.

     Securities owned and securities sold, not yet purchased, are valued at market, and unrealized gains or losses are reflected in revenues from principal transactions.

Reclassifications

     Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period’s amounts to conform to the current period’s presentation.

Net Capital Requirements

     As registered broker-dealers, JEFCO and W & D are subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1), which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital. JEFCO and W & D have elected to use the alternative method permitted by the Rule, which requires that they each maintain minimum net capital, as defined, equal to the greater of $250,000 or 2% of the aggregate debit balances arising from customer transactions, as defined.

     Net capital changes from day to day, but as of June 29, 2001, JEFCO’s and W & D’s net capital was $144.7 million and $2.4 million, respectively, which exceeded minimum net capital requirements by $141.0 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

Quarterly Dividends

     In 1988, the Company instituted a policy of paying regular quarterly dividends. There are no restrictions on the Company’s present ability to pay dividends on common stock, other than the governing provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Off-Balance Sheet Risk

     In the normal course of business, the Company had letters of credit outstanding aggregating $32.8 million at June 29, 2001, to satisfy various collateral requirements in lieu of depositing cash or securities.

Segment Reporting

     The company’s operations have been classified into a single business segment, a securities broker-dealer, which includes several types of financial services. This segment includes the traditional securities brokerage and investment banking activities of the Company. The Company’s business is predominantly in the United States with less than 10% of revenues and 2% of assets attributable to international operations.

New Accounting Pronouncements

     In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued two Statements: Statement No. 141, “Business Combinations”, and Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”.

     Those Statements will change the accounting for business combinations and goodwill in two significant ways. First, Statement 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Use of the pooling-of-interests method will be prohibited. Second, Statement 142 changes the accounting for goodwill from an amortization method to an impairment-only approach. Thus, amortization of goodwill, including goodwill recorded in past business combinations, will cease upon adoption of that Statement, which for companies with calendar year ends, will be January 1, 2002. The implementation of these statements is not expected to have a material impact on the Company.

Goodwill

     Goodwill, which represents the excess of cost over net assets acquired, is amortized on a straight-line basis over ten years and relates to the acquisition of The Europe Company Ltd. in the third quarter of 2000. At June 29, 2001, excess of purchase price over net assets acquired remaining was $11.7 million, net of accumulated amortization of $1.2 million and is included in other assets.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations

Analysis of Financial Condition

     Total assets and total liabilities as of June 29, 2001 were $4.1 billion and $3.6 billion, respectively, and were relatively unchanged from December 31, 2000.

Second Quarter 2001 Versus Second Quarter 2000

     Revenues, net of interest expense, increased 26% to $181.4 million, compared to $144.3 million for the second quarter of 2000. The increase was due primarily to a $24.4 million, or 124%, increase in corporate finance, a $13.4 million, or 23%, increase in principal transactions, a $3.6 million, or 162%, increase in asset management, and a $736,000, or 109%, increase in other income, partially offset by a $4.8 million, or 55%, decrease in net interest income (interest revenues less interest expense). Commissions revenues remained relatively unchanged. Principal transactions revenue increased mostly due to the High Yield and Equities Divisions. Corporate finance revenues increased due mostly to an increase in debt and equity underwriting. Net interest income was down mostly due to decreased securities borrowed and loaned matched book business. Asset management increased due to more assets under management and greater profitability. Other income increased mostly due to several miscellaneous items.

     Total non-interest expenses increased 24% to $152.9 million, compared to $123.0 million for the second quarter of 2000. Compensation and benefits increased $23.7 million, or 27%, mostly due to an increase in incentive based compensation accruals, as well as increased headcount. Floor brokerage and clearing fees increased $1.9 million, or 20%, due to increased volume of business executed on the various exchanges. Occupancy and equipment rental increased $1.5 million, or 33%, mostly due to office expansion. Other expense increased $1.4 million or 29%, largely due to higher legal expense. Travel and promotional increased $743,000, or 15%, largely due to an increase in business travel. Communications were increased $632,000 or 5%, mostly due to an increase in trade volume and headcount.

     Earnings before income taxes were up 34% to $28.6 million, compared to $21.4 million for the same prior year period. The effective tax rate was approximately 42.1% for the second quarter of 2001 and 2000. Net earnings were up $4.2 million to $16.6 million, compared to $12.4 million for the same prior year period.

Diluted net earnings per share were $0.65 for the second quarter of 2001 on 25,564,000 shares compared to $0.51 in the comparable 2000 period on 24,258,000 shares.

First Half 2001 Versus First Half 2000

     Revenues, net of interest expense, increased 16% to $358.3 million, compared to $308.0 million for the first half of 2000. The increase was due primarily to a $26.2 million, or 75%, increase in corporate finance, a $20.8 million, or 15%, increase in principal transactions, a $6.2 million, or 145%, increase in asset management, and a $1.8 million, or 2%, increase in commissions, partially offset by a $4.3 million, or 28%, decrease in net interest income (interest revenues less interest expense), and a $412,000, or 17%, decrease in other income. Commissions and principal transactions revenue increased mostly due to the Equities, High Yield and Convertibles Divisions. Corporate finance revenues increased due mostly to an increase in debt and equity underwriting. Net interest income was down mostly due to decreased securities borrowed and loaned matched book business. Asset management increased due to more assets under management and greater profitability. Other income decreased mostly due to a decrease in correspondent income.

     Total non-interest expenses increased 16% to $302.6 million, compared to $260.4 million for the first half of 2000. Compensation and benefits increased $30.5 million, or 16%, mostly due to an increase in incentive based compensation accruals, as well as increased headcount. Other expense increased $4.5 million or 42%, largely due to higher legal expense. Floor brokerage and clearing fees increased $3.3 million, or 18%, due to increased volume of business executed on the various exchanges. Occupancy and equipment rental increased $2.5 million, or 27%, mostly due to office
