            RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
        NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                           June 30, 1995


Basis of Consolidation

      The  consolidated financial statements include the accounts of  Raymond
James Financial, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (the "Company").  All
material  intercompany  balances and transactions  have  been  eliminated  in
consolidation.  These statements reflect all adjustments which  are,  in  the
opinion  of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results  for
the  interim  periods presented.  All such adjustments made are of  a  normal
recurring  nature.  The nature of the Company's business  is  such  that  the
results of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for a
full year.

Commitments and Contingencies

      In  connection with certain limited partnerships syndicated by  Raymond
James & Associates, Inc., the Company is contingently liable as guarantor  of
certain  loans  totaling $385,000 at June 30, 1995.  In connection  with  the
early payoff of its $5.8 million loan to Cumberland Healthcare Fund, L.P.  I-
A,  the Company has a commitment through October 1, 1996, to relend up to  $5
million upon request.  No use of this facility is currently anticipated.

      The Company is a defendant or co-defendant in various lawsuits incident
al  to its securities business.  The Company is contesting the allegations in
these cases and believes that there are meritorious defenses in each of these
lawsuits.  In view of the number and diversity of claims against the Company,
the  number of jurisdictions in which litigation is pending and the  inherent
difficulty  of  predicting the outcome of litigation and  other  claims,  the
Company  cannot  state with certainty what the eventual  outcome  of  pending
litigation or other claims will be.  In the opinion of management,  based  on
discussions with counsel, the outcome of these matters will not result  in  a
material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations.

Capital Transactions

      The  Company's  Board  of Directors has, from  time  to  time,  adopted
resolutions  authorizing the Company to repurchase its common stock  for  the
funding  of  its  incentive stock option and stock purchase plans  and  other
corporate  purposes.  As of June 30, 1995, management has Board authorization
to purchase up to 1 million additional shares.

      In  December 1994, the Board of Directors of the Company increased  the
quarterly cash dividend to $.09 per share.


Net Capital Requirements

      The  broker-dealer  subsidiaries of the  Company  are  subject  to  the
requirements of Rule 15c3-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.   This
rule  requires  that aggregate indebtedness, as defined, not  exceed  fifteen
times net capital, as defined.  Rule 15c3-1 also provides for an "alternative
net  capital  requirement" which, if elected, requires that  net  capital  be
equal  to  the  greater of $250,000 or two percent of aggregate  debit  items
computed  in  applying the formula for determination of reserve requirements.
The  New York Stock Exchange may require a member organization to reduce  its
business  if  its  net capital is less than four percent of  aggregate  debit
items  and  may  prohibit  a  member firm from  expanding  its  business  and
declaring  cash  dividends if its net capital is less than  five  percent  of
aggregate   debit  items.  The  net  capital  positions  of   the   Company's
broker-dealer subsidiaries at June 30, 1995 were as follows:

     Raymond James & Associates, Inc.:
          (alternative method elected)
          Net capital as a percent of aggregate debit items        22%
          Net capital                                      $93,264,000
          Required net capital                              $8,376,000

     Investment Management & Research, Inc.:
          Ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital          1.76
          Net capital                                       $3,164,000
          Required net capital                                $371,000

        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                          AND FINANCIAL CONDITION



General

      In  a quarter reminiscent of 1992 or 1993, the Company generated record
revenues  during the three months ended June 30.  Profit margins returned  to
historically high levels, yielding the second most profitable quarter in  the
Company's history.  A confluence of interrelated factors, including  all-time
highs  in  the  equity markets, surging transaction volume, a  resurgence  of
investment banking activity and a favorably trending bond market, led to  the
strong results.


Results of Operations -  Three months ended June 30, 1995 compared with three
                         months ended June 24, 1994.

      Total revenues increased to a record $148,943,000, a 27% increase  over
last  year's  $117,737,000, while net income rose  86%  to  $13,838,000  from
$7,448,000.

      Securities commission revenues increased significantly, driven by a 38%
jump  in  equity commission revenues.  Transaction volume for the quarter  of
nearly  600,000  was  the Company's heaviest ever.   The  number  of  account
executives  increased 11% from the prior year, totaling  2,390  at  June  30,
1995.

      While  investment banking revenues were relatively flat with the  prior
year,  they  compare favorably to the previous three quarters.  This  is  the
result  of  a restimulation of investment banking activity as the combination
of  higher  stock prices and generally favorable economic conditions  induced
corporations to raise capital.

      Investment  advisory  fees declined 17% as a  result  of  institutional
growth  equity  accounts  transferring to Liberty Investment  Management  (as
shown  below),  a  joint venture between the Company and a  former  employee,
effective  January  1,  1995.  Pursuant to the agreement,  the  Company  will
receive  50%  of the revenue from these accounts for the next 5 years,  while
bearing  none of the expenses.  Exclusive of this factor, investment advisory
fees did not quite keep pace with the increase in assets under management due
to  a  moderate shift to fixed income assets, which carry a lower  management
fee.

                                            June 30,     June 24,  % Increase

                                         ==========  ==========
      Net  interest  income of $8.5 million established a fourth  consecutive
quarterly  record.  Higher interest rates have led to increased  earnings  on
the Company's capital, largely invested in fixed income securities either  as
inventories  or  short-term investments.  Additionally, both customer  margin
loan  and  credit  interest  balances reached all-time  highs.   While  still
relatively  small, Raymond James Bank, FSB, continues to grow as a meaningful
contributor to interest earnings.

      Principal  trading profits reflect the improved market  conditions  and
compare  particularly  favorably to the prior year's  third  quarter,  during
which the Company experienced losses in fixed income inventory accounts.

     Increased financial service fees reflect the increased number of clients
electing wrap fee accounts over traditional commissions.

      The  increase  in employee compensation expense reflects the  increased
commission  expense, an 8% increase in administrative and  clerical  salaries
(reflecting overall firm growth and normal salary increases), and an increase
in incentive compensation accruals related to overall firm profitability.

      The  significant increase in occupancy and equipment costs was  due  to
increased retail branch office space and the purchase of additional satellite
and  computer workstation equipment, the latter being depreciated  over  very
short periods for financial reporting purposes.


Results of Operations -  Nine  months ended June 30, 1995 compared with  nine
                         months ended June 24, 1994.

     Total revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 1995 increased 2% from
$382,219,000  to $390,334,000.  Net income of $31,829,000 was  4%  below  the
prior year figure of $33,074,000.

      (The  underlying reasons for most of the variances to  the  prior  year
period  are  substantially the same as the comparative  quarterly  discussion
above and the statements contained in such foregoing discussion also apply to
the  nine  month  comparison.  Therefore, this  section  is  limited  to  the
discussion  of  additional factors influencing the  comparative  nine  months
results.)

     Securities commissions have reached figures comparable to the prior year
period due to improved equity volume in the most recent quarter.

      Investment  banking revenues, although improved over the prior  several
quarters,  were  well below prior year figures which reflected  an  extremely
robust period for underwriting volume.

      Decreased  employee compensation expense reflects a slight  decline  in
commission   expense   and   decreases  in  certain  incentive   compensation
arrangements,   which   are  a  function  of  departmental   and   subsidiary
profitability.

Financial Condition

       The   Company's  statement  of  financial  condition   has   increased
significantly since fiscal year end, primarily the result of increased  stock
loan/borrow  activity  and increased customer credit interest  balances,  the
latter leading to a rise in assets segregated for the benefit of customers.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      Net  cash  provided  by operating activities for the  nine  months  was
$181,223,000.   Net income plus the net increase in customer credit  balances
were the primary sources of cash.

      Investing and financing activities used $13,519,000 of cash during  the
nine months, primarily due to fixed asset purchases, cash dividends paid  and
repurchases of the Company's common stock.

      The Company has long-term debt in the amount of $13,125,000 in the form
of  a  mortgage on the first of its two current headquarters buildings.   The
second building was constructed using internally generated funds.

      During  the year, the Company obtained a $50 million unsecured line  of
credit.   This facility has no immediate use identified, but is  intended  to
enable the Company to take advantage of emergent opportunities.

      The Company's broker-dealer subsidiaries are subject to requirements of
the  Securities  and  Exchange Commission relating to liquidity  and  capital
standards (see Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

Effects of Inflation

      The  Company's  assets  are primarily liquid in  nature,  and  are  not
significantly affected by inflation.  Management believes that the changes in
replacement  cost  of  property and equipment  would  not  materially  affect
operating  results.   However, the rate of inflation  affects  the  Company's
expenses, including employee compensation, data communications and occupancy,
which may not be readily recoverable through charges for services provided by
the Company.
