INTRODUCTORY COMMENTS
---------------------

Reclassification of Indebtedness in Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Stilwell Financial Inc. (the "Company" or "Stilwell") has restated its
Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2001 to present $691.2
million of indebtedness as a current liability. The indebtedness relates to the
Company's zero-coupon convertible securities ("securities") that include a
provision allowing the holders of the securities to put the securities to the
Company on April 30, 2002 (see Note 12 of the Consolidated Condensed Financial
Statements). These amounts had previously been classified as long-term
obligations.  This reclassification has no impact on operating income, net
income, earnings per share or stockholders' equity.


General
-------

     The Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included herein have been
prepared by Stilwell, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the
disclosures are adequate to enable a reasonable understanding of the information
presented. These Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto, as well as
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2000 and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations included in this Form 10-Q. Results for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the
results expected for the full year 2001.

                             STILWELL FINANCIAL INC.

              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (Unaudited)


1.   Stilwell  Financial  Inc. (the  "Company" or  "Stilwell")  has restated its
     Consolidated  Condensed Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2001 to present $691.2
     million of indebtedness as a current liability. The indebtedness relates to
     the  Company's  zero-coupon  convertible  securities   ("securities")  that
     include a  provision  allowing  the  holders of the  securities  to put the
     securities  to the Company on April 30, 2002 (see Note 12).  These  amounts
     had   previously   been   classified   as   long-term   obligations.   This
     reclassification  has no impact on operating income,  net income,  earnings
     per share or stockholders' equity.

     In the opinion of the management of Stilwell,  the  accompanying  unaudited
     consolidated   condensed  financial   statements  contain  all  adjustments
     (consisting of normal closing  procedures)  necessary to present fairly the
     financial  position  of the  Company  and its  subsidiary  companies  as of
     December  31, 2000 and June 30,  2001,  the results of  operations  for the
     three and six months  ended June 30, 2000 and 2001,  and the cash flows for
     the six months ended June 30, 2001.

     The primary  entities  comprising  Stilwell as of June 30, 2001 were: Janus
     Capital  Corporation  ("Janus"),  an  approximate  90.3% owned  subsidiary;
     Stilwell Management,  Inc. ("SMI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary;  Berger LLC,
     of which SMI owns 100% of the  preferred  limited  liability  interests and
     approximately 87% of the regular limited liability interests;  Nelson Money
     Managers Plc ("Nelson"),  an 80% owned  subsidiary;  and DST Systems,  Inc.
     ("DST"),  an  equity  investment  in which  SMI  holds an  approximate  33%
     interest. Janus is the principal business comprising Stilwell, representing
     96% of assets under  management  at June 30, 2001,  and 95% of revenues and
     91% of net  income  for the six  months  ended  June 30,  2001.  Stilwell's
     businesses  offer a  variety  of asset  management  and  related  financial
     services to registered investment companies, retail investors, institutions
     and individuals.


2.   The  accompanying  consolidated  condensed  financial  statements have been
     prepared  consistently with the accounting  policies described in Note 2 to
     the consolidated  financial  statements that are presented in the Company's
     Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31, 2000.  Certain
     prior year  amounts have been  reclassified  to conform to the current year
     presentation.  The results of operations for the three and six months ended
     June 30, 2001 are not necessarily  indicative of the results to be expected
     for the full year 2001.

     Within these consolidated  condensed financial  statements and accompanying
     notes,  historical transactions and events (i.e., that period of time prior
     to July 12, 2000) involving the financial  services  segment of Kansas City
     Southern Industries,  Inc. ("KCSI" or "Parent"), which is now Stilwell, are
     discussed as if Stilwell  were the entity  involved in the  transaction  or
     event, unless otherwise indicated. In addition,  intercompany  transactions
     between  Stilwell and KCSI up to and including  July 12, 2000 are reflected
     as dividends to or transfers from KCSI.


3.   The effect of stock  options  represent  the only  difference  between  the
     weighted  average shares used for the basic earnings per share  computation
     compared to the diluted earnings per share computation.  Because there were
     no Stilwell options issued prior to July 12, 2000, the computations for the
     number of shares to be used in the  denominator  are the same for basic and
     diluted earnings per share in the three and six months ended June 30, 2000.

     The only  adjustments  that currently affect the numerator of the Company's
     diluted  earnings  per  share  computations  include  potentially  dilutive
     securities at subsidiaries and affiliates.

     For the three and six months ended June 30, 2001,  the weighted  average of
     options to purchase 1,435,006 and 830,136 shares, respectively, of Stilwell
     common stock were excluded  from the  computation  of diluted  earnings per
     share  because the exercise  prices were  greater  than the average  market
     prices of the common shares.


4.   Investments  in  unconsolidated  affiliates  accounted for under the equity
     method  generally  include  all  entities  in  which  the  Company  or  its
     subsidiaries  have  significant  influence,  but not more  than 50%  voting
     control.  The  Company's  equity  interest  in DST was its  primary  equity
     investment at June 30, 2001.

Condensed consolidated financial information for DST is shown below:

(a)  During  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  2001,   the  Company   recorded
     approximately $18.7 million in goodwill relating to the DST investment as a
     result of DST stock repurchases.  With this additional amount, Stilwell had
     approximately  $62.0 million in goodwill  related to its investment in DST.
(b)  Based on DST's closing price on the New York Stock Exchange.
(c)  Net income  includes  after-tax gains of  approximately  $14.6 million from
     settlement  of litigation  with a former DST equity  affiliate and sales of
     marketable   securities.
(d)  Net income includes after-tax gains of approximately $24.4 million from the
     sale of  DST's  portfolio  accounting  business  and  sales  of  marketable

5.   For purposes of the  Statement  of Cash Flows,  the Company  considers  all
     short-term  liquid  investments with an initial maturity of generally three
     months or less,  including  investments in money market mutual funds, to be
     cash  equivalents.  Cash and cash  equivalents  of Janus  (totaling  $206.5
     million  and $60.5  million at June 30,  2000 and 2001,  respectively)  are
     generally used to fund its  operations  and to pay  dividends.  Pursuant to
     contractual  arrangements  between  Stilwell  and  certain  Janus  minority
     stockholders,  Janus has  distributed at least 90% of its net income to its
     stockholders each year.

     During  the six  months  ended June 30,  2000 and 2001,  Stilwell  recorded
     approximately  $3.2  million and $6.6  million,  respectively,  directly to
     stockholders'  equity representing  Stilwell gains resulting from issuances
     of stock by Janus. The shares issued by Janus were available as a result of
     repurchases from stockholders. Stilwell had previously recognized gains (in
     its  Statement  of Income)  relating  to these  shares  upon their  initial
     issuance.


6.   The Company has three primary  business units that produce the revenues and
     operating income of Stilwell. These units, together with DST, comprise over
     90% of the net income of the Company.  For  purposes of segment  reporting,
     Stilwell reports Janus and Berger as one segment,  representing  businesses
     that derive the majority of their revenues and income from the provision of
     investment  management under investment advisory  agreements.  Nelson, DST,
     the holding  company and the various other  subsidiaries  and affiliates of
     Stilwell are aggregated as a separate segment.

7.   During first quarter 2001,  Stilwell  announced several  transactions that,
     upon completion,  will increase  Stilwell's  ownership interest in Janus to
     approximately 91.6%, based on maximum participation of Janus employees in a
     Janus stock repurchase program as discussed below.

        Stilwell  acquisition of Janus shares from Thomas H. Bailey. On  January
     26, 2001,  Stilwell announced  that it expected to acquire  600,000  shares
     of  Janus common  stock from  Thomas H.  Bailey,  Janus's  Chairman,  Chief
     Executive Officer and President, through the  exercise  of  put  rights  by
     Mr. Bailey.

     The  acquisition  was completed on May 1, 2001.  The purchase  price of the
     shares totaled  approximately $603 million.  In addition,  Stilwell paid to
     Mr. Bailey  approximately  $7 million  representing  interest  expense that
     began  to  accrue  on the  unpaid  purchase  price 30 days  after  Stilwell
     received notice of Mr. Bailey's decision to exercise his put right.

     Stilwell  funded the purchase price and  associated  interest with proceeds
     received in connection with the issuance of its Convertible Notes. See Note
     12 below.  Stilwell accounted for the acquisition under the purchase method
     of accounting.

        Stilwell acquisition of Janus shares from other minority   stockholders.
     In March and April of  2001, Stilwell  acquired  202,042  shares  of  Janus
     common stock from several minority stockholders (other  than  Mr.  Bailey).
     Approximately  163,900 of these  shares  were  acquired  by  certain  Janus
     employees  in 1995 when  Janus  stock  ownership  was first  extended  to a
     broader  group of key  management  employees  other  than Mr.  Bailey.  The
     remainder  of the  shares  had been held  since  1984 or  before.  Stilwell
     purchased  the  shares  through  the  exercise  of  put  rights,  virtually
     eliminating  all  mandatory  put  rights to  Stilwell  except  for those on
     remaining  shares  held by Mr.  Bailey  (after the  purchase by Stilwell of
     600,000  shares  of Mr.  Bailey's  Janus  stock as  discussed  above).  The
     purchase price for the shares totaled approximately $203 million, which was
     funded through cash and borrowings under the Company's  credit  facilities.
     In connection with the transactions, amounts owed to Stilwell by certain of
     the selling minority  stockholders  were repaid (see information in Note 10
     to the  consolidated  financial  statements under Part II Item 8, Financial
     Statements and  Supplementary  Data, of the Company's Annual Report on Form
     10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000).

        Stilwell  accounted  for these  transactions  using the purchase  method
     of accounting. Based on initial estimates, the purchase price was in excess
     of the fair  value  of the net tangible assets acquired  and this  excess -
     approximately  $796 million - was recorded as identified  intangible assets
     and goodwill to be amortized over a period of 20 years. The Company expects
     to have an independent valuation completed in order to determine the


                                       12



     actual  allocation of purchase  price for the shares  acquired,  which will
     affect the levels of goodwill and other intangibles, as well as the periods
     over which these assets are required to be amortized.

        Janus  offer to  purchase  shares of Janus common stock  from employees.
     Janus has offered to purchase from employees (other than Mr. Bailey) up  to
     50% of their eligible shares of Janus common stock.  If all eligible shares
     were purchased under this offer, Janus would acquire approximately  143,000
     shares of its common stock for approximately $145 million. The shares would
     then be  available  for Janus to utilize in  connection  with its Long Term
     Incentive  Plan ("Janus  Incentive  Plan").  The  repurchases  by Janus are
     expected to occur in the third quarter of 2001.

        Net effect of  transactions.  With the completion of the purchase of the
     802,042 shares of Janus common stock by Stilwell,  and assuming the maximum
     number of shares were purchased under Janus's repurchase offer,  Stilwell's
     ownership of Janus would increase to approximately  91.6%. Mr. Bailey would
     continue to own approximately  6.2% and more than 150 other Janus employees
     would own the  remaining  2.2%.  In addition,  each of the Janus  employees
     participating  in these  transactions  will continue to own other shares of
     Janus  common  stock  and,  consistent  with  Janus's  goal  of  broadening
     corporate  equity  ownership,  will be eligible to receive future grants of
     Janus stock - from the  approximately  380,000  shares  available  at Janus
     after these transactions - in connection with the Janus Incentive Plan.


8.   In February 2001, Janus eliminated 468 jobs from its operations unit, Janus
     Service  Corporation,  as a result of a lower level of shareowner  activity
     and its aggressive use of technology to moderate  costs.  The job reduction
     did not affect Janus's  investment team, which continues to recruit and add
     analysts  to its  staff.  Janus  recorded  non-recurring  charges  in first
     quarter  2001  of   approximately   $9.1  million   related  to  severance,
     operational  and other  costs.  Partially  offsetting  the effects of these
     charges was a first quarter 2001 reduction of approximately $8.2 million in
     stock bonus  accruals  at Janus that were no longer  payable as a result of
     the sale of shares of Janus common stock by the various employees discussed
     in Note 7.

     On April 20,  2001,  Janus  announced a further work force  reduction  that
     affected  approximately  546  employees  and resulted in the closing of its
     Austin,  Texas  call  center.  This  action  reflects  a  return  to a more
     normalized  level  of  shareowner   activity,   significant   technological
     advancements  that provide capacity to adjust to business  fluctuations and
     the evolution in shareowner approaches to inquiries and investments.  Janus
     recorded  approximately  $39.4 million in second quarter 2001 non-recurring
     costs associated with severance, business closing and related expenses.


9.   On January 26, 2001,  certain Janus employees were granted 64,885 shares of
     restricted  Janus stock.  The terms of the grant were  consistent  with the
     grant  made  in  2000  (see  additional  information  in  Note  10  to  the
     consolidated   financial   statements  under  Part  II  Item  8,  Financial
     Statements and  Supplementary  Data, in the Company's Annual Report on Form
     10-K for the year ended  December 31,  2000).  Pursuant to the terms of the
     grant,  20%  of  the  shares  vested  immediately  in  recognition  of  the
     employees'   contributions   during  2000.   Accordingly,   Janus  recorded
     approximately  $24 million of compensation  expense  relating to this grant
     during  2000.   Approximately  $13  million  of  the  compensation  expense
     represented  the fair market value of the shares granted and  approximately
     $11  million   resulted  from  the  amortization  of  the  prepaid  expense
     associated with compensation payments made by Janus to grantee employees in
     connection  with the decision by each employee to make a ss.83(b)  election
     under the Internal Revenue Code upon receipt of the Janus shares.


10.  In June 1998, the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  ("FASB")  issued
     Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  133  "Accounting  for
     Derivative   Instruments  and  Hedging   Activities"  ("FAS  133"),   which
     establishes accounting standards for derivative instruments, the derivative
     portion of certain other  contracts that have similar  characteristics  and
     for hedging  activities.  It requires  recognition  of all  derivatives  as
     either assets or


                                       13




     liabilities  measured  at fair  value.  In June  1999,  the FASB  issued an
     amendment  to FAS 133  changing  the  effective  date of FAS 133 to  fiscal
     quarters of fiscal years beginning  after June 15, 2000.  Stilwell does not
     generally enter into transactions  covered by this statement.  The adoption
     of FAS 133 on January 1, 2001 did not have an impact on Stilwell's  results
     of operation, financial position or cash flows.


11.  A stock purchase  agreement  with Mr. Bailey and another Janus  stockholder
     (the "Janus Stock Purchase  Agreement")  contains,  among other provisions,
     mandatory put rights whereby under certain circumstances, Stilwell would be
     required  to  purchase  the  minority  interests  of  such  Janus  minority
     stockholders  at a fair market value  purchase price equal to fifteen times
     the net  after-tax  earnings.  Under the Janus  Stock  Purchase  Agreement,
     termination of Mr. Bailey's employment could require a purchase and sale of
     the Janus common stock held by him. If the other minority holder terminated
     his  employment,  some  or all of his  shares  also  could  be  subject  to
     mandatory  purchase  and sale  obligations.  If Mr.  Bailey  and the  other
     stockholder  exercised  the puts as of June 30, 2001,  Stilwell  would have
     been  required  to pay  approximately  $613  million.  In the future  these
     amounts may be higher or lower depending on Janus's  earnings,  fair market
     value and the  timing of the  exercise.  Payment  for the  purchase  of the
     respective  minority interests is to be made under the Janus Stock Purchase
     Agreement  within 120 days after receiving  notification of exercise of the
     put rights.

     The Janus Stock Purchase  Agreement and certain stock  purchase  agreements
     and restriction  agreements with other minority  stockholders  also contain
     provisions whereby upon the occurrence of a Change in Ownership (as defined
     in such agreements) of Stilwell (as to the Janus Stock Purchase  Agreement)
     or KCSI (as to the purchase and  restriction  agreements),  Stilwell may be
     required to purchase such holders'  Janus stock or, as to the  stockholders
     that are parties to the Janus Stock  Purchase  Agreement,  at such holders'
     option,  to sell its  stock of Janus  to such  minority  stockholders.  For
     purposes of the Janus Stock Purchase  Agreement,  a Change in Ownership may
     occur only through a change in the  composition  of the Stilwell  Board not
     approved by the pre-existing Stilwell Board, or a change in stock ownership
     not  approved by the  pre-existing  Stilwell  Board.  The fair market value
     price for such  purchase  or sale would be equal to  fifteen  times the net
     after-tax earnings over the period indicated in the relevant agreement,  in
     some  circumstances  as determined by Janus's Stock Option  Committee or as
     determined by an  independent  appraisal.  If Stilwell had been required to
     purchase the holders'  Janus common stock after a Change in Ownership as of
     June 30,  2001,  the  purchase  price  would have been  approximately  $870
     million.

     As of June  30,  2001,  Stilwell  had $350  million  in  credit  facilities
     available  and had cash balances at the Stilwell  holding  company level in
     excess of $350 million.  The market value of Stilwell's  33%  investment in
     DST was more than $2.0 billion  using DST's  closing  price on the New York
     Stock  Exchange  on June 30,  2001.  To the extent  that  available  credit
     facilities,  existing cash balances and proceeds from borrowing  against or
     liquidating a portion of Stilwell's  investment in DST (within the covenant
     limitations  pursuant to the credit  facilities) were  insufficient to fund
     its purchase  obligations,  Stilwell had access to the capital markets and,
     with respect to the Janus Stock Purchase  Agreement,  had 120 days to raise
     additional  sums.  Stilwell  would record any such  acquisitions  of shares
     under the purchase method of accounting (see Note 7).


12.  On April 30, 2001,  Stilwell  completed an offering of  approximately  $931
     million  principal  amount at maturity of  zero-coupon  convertible  senior
     notes due April 30, 2031 (the  Convertible  Notes).  The Convertible  Notes
     were offered only to qualified  institutional buyers at an initial offering
     price of $741.37 per $1,000  principal  amount at  maturity,  resulting  in
     gross  proceeds  to  Stilwell  of  approximately  $690  million  (prior  to
     consideration of approximately  $16.4 million in debt issuance costs).  The
     total gross proceeds  received include  approximately  $90 million from the
     exercise of an  over-allotment  option by the underwriter.  The issue price
     represents a yield to maturity of 1% per year. Additionally,  to the extent
     that  Stilwell's  average  common stock price exceeds  certain  thresholds,
     Stilwell  could be  required  to pay  contingent  interest at a rate of the
     greater of  Stilwell's  regular  quarterly  cash dividend or 0.0625% of the
     average market price of the security over a specified time period.

     Each $1,000  principal  amount at maturity  of the  Convertible  Notes will
     initially  be  convertible  into  17.1544  shares of common  stock upon the
     occurrence  of any of the  following  events:  i) if the closing  prices of
     Stilwell's  shares of common  stock on the New York Stock  Exchange  exceed
     specified  levels;  ii) if, after the date on which the  Convertible  Notes
     have been assigned a credit rating,  the credit rating  assigned is below a
     specified  level;   iii)  if  Stilwell  calls  the  Convertible  Notes  for
     redemption;  or iv) in the event  that  Stilwell  takes  certain  corporate
     actions,  such as declaration of an  extraordinary  dividend.  Stilwell may
     redeem the  Convertible  Notes for cash on or after April 30, 2006 at their
     accreted  value.  Stilwell may be required to  repurchase  the  Convertible
     Notes at the accreted value thereof,  at the option of the holders on April
     30, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2011, 2016, 2021 and 2026. Stilwell may choose to pay
     the  purchase  price for such  repurchases  in cash or  shares of  Stilwell
     common  stock.  A  Registration  Statement on Form S-3 covering  resales by
     investors of the  Convertible  Notes,  and the shares of Stilwell's  common
     stock into which the notes are convertible,  was declared  effective by the
     Securities and Exchange Commission on July 30, 2001.

     These amounts are  classified as current  liabilities  in the  Consolidated
     Condensed  Balance  Sheet as of June 30,  2001  because  the holders of the
     Convertible  Notes may put the  Convertible  Notes to Stilwell on April 30,
     2002. Approximately $610 million of the proceeds received from the offering
     were used to purchase 600,000 shares of Janus common stock. See Note 7. The
     remaining proceeds are available for general corporate purposes.


13.  In July 2001,  the FASB issued  Statement of Accounting  Standards No. 141,
     "Business  Combinations" ("FAS 141") and Statement of Accounting  Standards
     No. 142,  "Goodwill and Other Intangible  Assets" ("FAS 142"). FAS 141 will
     become  effective for business  combinations  initiated after June 30, 2001
     and  requires  purchase  method  accounting.  Under FAS 142,  goodwill  and
     intangible  assets  with  indefinite  lives  will no longer  be  amortized.
     Instead,  such goodwill and other intangible assets will be tested annually
     for impairment.  FAS 142 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after
     December 15,  2001.  The Company is  currently  evaluating  the impact that
     adoption of these provisions will have on its financial statements.

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


Reclassification of Indebtedness in Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Stilwell Financial Inc. (the "Company" or "Stilwell") has restated its
Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2001
to present $691.2 million of indebtedness as a current liability. The
indebtedness relates to the Company's zero-coupon convertible securities
("securities") that include a provision allowing the holders of the securities
to put the securities to the Company on April 30, 2002 (see Note 12 of the
Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements). These amounts had previously been
classified as long-term obligations.  This  reclassification  has no  impact on
operating  income,  net  income, earnings per share or stockholders' equity.



OVERVIEW

      The discussion set forth below and other portions of this Form 10-Q
contain statements concerning potential future events. Such forward-looking
comments are based upon information currently available to management and
management's perception thereof as of the date of this Form 10-Q. Readers can
identify these forward-looking comments by their use of such verbs as expects,
anticipates, believes or similar verbs or conjugations of such verbs. The actual
results of operations of Stilwell Financial Inc. (the "Company" or "Stilwell")
could materially differ from those indicated in forward-looking comments. The
differences could be caused by a number of factors or combination of factors
including, but not limited to, those factors identified in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000 and the Information
Statement that was included as an exhibit to the Registration Statement on Form
10 dated June 15, 2000, both of which are on file with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (File No. 001-15253) and are hereby incorporated by
reference herein. Readers are strongly encouraged to consider these factors when
evaluating any such forward-looking comments. The Company will not update any
forward-looking comments set forth in this Form 10-Q.

      The discussion herein is intended to clarify and focus on the Company's
results of operations, certain changes in financial position, liquidity, capital
structure and business developments for the periods covered by the consolidated
condensed financial statements included under Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. This
discussion should be read in conjunction with these consolidated condensed
financial statements and the related notes thereto and is qualified by reference
thereto.

      Within this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations, historical transactions and events (i.e., occurring
prior to July 12, 2000) involving the financial services segment of Kansas City
Southern Industries, Inc. ("KCSI"), which is now Stilwell, are discussed as if
Stilwell were the entity involved in the transaction or event, unless otherwise
indicated. In addition, intercompany transactions between Stilwell and KCSI up
to and including July 12, 2000 are reflected as dividends to or transfers from
KCSI. Since the financial services business was operated as part of KCSI prior
to July 12, 2000, such financial information and statements may not necessarily
reflect the results of operations or financial position of Stilwell or what the
results of operations would have been if Stilwell had been a separate,
independent company during those periods.



                                       16




      Stilwell, a Delaware Corporation formed in 1998 by KCSI, is a holding
company for a group of businesses and investments in the financial services
industry, including the following:
 o Janus Capital Corporation ("Janus"), an approximately 90.3% owned subsidiary;
 o Stilwell Management, Inc. ("SMI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary;
 o Berger LLC ("Berger"),  of  which  SMI  owns  100%  of the preferred  limited
     liability company interests and approximately  87%  of the  regular limited
     liability company interests;
 o Nelson Money Managers Plc ("Nelson"), an 80% owned subsidiary;
 o DST Systems, Inc. ("DST"), an equity investment in which SMI owns an
      approximate 33% interest; and
 o various other subsidiaries and equity investments.

      For purposes of segment reporting, Stilwell reports Janus and Berger as
one segment, representing businesses that derive the majority of their revenues
and income from the provision of investment management under investment advisory
agreements. Nelson, DST, the holding company and the various other subsidiaries
and affiliates of Stilwell are aggregated as a separate segment.


SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS

      Zero-Coupon Convertible Debt Offering. On April 30, 2001, Stilwell
completed an offering of approximately $931 million principal amount at maturity
of zero-coupon convertible senior notes ("Convertible Notes") due April 30,
2031. The Convertible Notes were offered only to qualified institutional buyers
at an initial offering price of $741.37 per $1,000 principal amount at maturity,
resulting in gross proceeds to Stilwell of approximately $690 million (prior to
consideration of approximately $16.4 million in debt issuance costs). The total
gross proceeds received include approximately $90 million from the exercise of
an over-allotment option by the underwriter. The issue price represents a yield
to maturity of 1% per year. Additionally, to the extent that Stilwell's average
common stock price exceeds certain thresholds, Stilwell could be required to pay
contingent interest at a rate of the greater of Stilwell's regular quarterly
cash dividend or 0.0625% of the average market price of the security over a
specified time period.

      Each $1,000 principal amount at maturity of the Convertible  Notes  will
initially be convertible into 17.1544 shares of common stock upon the occurrence
of any of the following events: i) if the closing prices of Stilwell's shares of
common stock on the New York Stock Exchange exceed specified levels; ii) if,
after the date on which the Convertible Notes have been assigned a credit
rating, the credit rating assigned is below a specified level; iii) if Stilwell
calls the Convertible Notes for redemption; or iv) in the event that Stilwell
takes certain corporate actions, such as declaration of an extraordinary
dividend. Stilwell may redeem the Convertible Notes for cash on or after April
30, 2006 at their accreted value. Stilwell may be required to repurchase the
Convertible Notes at the accreted value thereof, at the option of the holders on
April 30, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2011, 2016, 2021 and 2026. Stilwell may choose to
pay the purchase price for such repurchases in cash or shares of Stilwell common
stock. A Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering resales by investors of the
Convertible Notes, and the shares of Stilwell's common stock into which the
notes are convertible, was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission on July 30, 2001.

      These amounts are classified as current liabilities in the Consolidated
Condensed Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2001 because the holders of the
Convertible Notes may put the Convertible Notes to Stilwell on April 30, 2002.
Approximately $610 million of the proceeds received from the offering were used
to purchase 600,000 shares of Janus common stock as discussed below. The
remaining proceeds are available for general corporate purposes.


                                       17




      Stilwell Receives Credit Ratings. On June 28, 2001, Stilwell obtained
"A-/A-2" counterparty ratings from Standard & Poor's. On August 9, 2001,
Stilwell was assigned a "Baa1" rating from Moody's Investor Service. Each rating
service indicated that the rating outlook for Stilwell is stable.

      Stilwell's Increased Ownership Interest in Janus. During first quarter
2001, Stilwell announced several transactions that, upon completion, will
increase Stilwell's ownership interest in Janus to approximately 91.6%, based on
maximum participation of Janus employees in a Janus stock repurchase program as
discussed below.

      Stilwell  acquisition of Janus shares from Thomas H. Bailey. On
January 26, 2001,  Stilwell  announced  that it expected to acquire  600,000
shares of Janus common stock from Thomas H. Bailey,  Janus's  Chairman,  Chief
Executive Officer and President, through the exercise of put rights by
Mr. Bailey.

      The acquisition was completed on May 1, 2001. The purchase price of the
shares totaled approximately $603 million. In addition, Stilwell paid to Mr.
Bailey approximately $7 million representing interest expense that began to
accrue on the unpaid purchase price 30 days after Stilwell received notice of
Mr. Bailey's decision to exercise his put right.

      Stilwell funded the purchase price and associated interest with proceeds
received from the issuance of the Convertible Notes. See discussion above.
Stilwell recorded the acquisition under the purchase method of accounting.
Stilwell expects to have an independent valuation completed in order to
determine the actual allocation of purchase price for the shares acquired, which
will affect the levels of goodwill and other intangibles, as well as the periods
over which these assets are required to be amortized under current accounting
rules.

      Stilwell acquisition of Janus shares from other minority stockholders. In
March and April of 2001, Stilwell acquired 202,042 shares of Janus common stock
from several minority stockholders. Approximately 163,900 of these shares were
acquired by certain Janus employees in 1995 when Janus stock ownership was first
extended to a broader group of key management employees other than Mr. Bailey.
The remainder of the shares had been held since 1984 or before. Stilwell
purchased the shares through the exercise of put rights, virtually eliminating
all mandatory put rights to Stilwell except for those on remaining shares held
by Mr. Bailey (after the purchase by Stilwell of 600,000 shares of Mr. Bailey's
Janus stock as discussed above). The shares cost approximately $203 million,
which was funded through cash and borrowings under the Company's credit
facilities. In connection with the transactions, amounts owed to Stilwell by
certain of the selling minority stockholders were repaid (see information in
Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements under Part II Item 8, Financial
Statements and Supplementary Data, of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2000).

      Stilwell accounted for these transactions using the purchase method of
accounting. Based on initial estimates, the purchase price was in excess of the
fair value of the net tangible assets acquired and this excess - approximately
$796 million - was recorded as identified intangible assets and goodwill to be
amortized over a period of 20 years. The Company expects to have an independent
valuation completed in order to determine the actual allocation of purchase
price for the shares acquired, which will affect the levels of goodwill and
other intangibles, as well as the periods over which these assets are required
to be amortized under current accounting rules.

      Janus offer to purchase shares of Janus common stock from employees. Janus
has offered to purchase from employees (other than Mr. Bailey) up to 50% of
their eligible shares of Janus common stock. If all eligible shares were
purchased under this offer, Janus would acquire approximately 143,000 shares of
its common stock for approximately $145 million. The shares would then be
available for Janus to utilize in connection with its Long Term Incentive Plan
("Janus Incentive Plan"). The repurchases by Janus are expected to occur in the
third quarter of 2001.

      Net effect of transactions. With the completion of the purchase of the
802,042 shares of Janus common stock, and assuming the maximum number of shares
were purchased under Janus's repurchase offer, Stilwell's


                                       18




ownership of Janus would increase to approximately 91.6 %. Mr. Bailey would
continue to own approximately 6.2% and more than 150 other Janus employees would
own the remaining 2.2%. In addition, each of the Janus employees participating
in these transactions will continue to own other shares of Janus common stock
and, consistent with Janus's goal of broadening corporate equity ownership, will
be eligible to receive future grants of Janus stock - from the approximately
380,000 shares available at Janus after these transactions - in connection with
the Janus Incentive Plan.

      Janus Work Force Reduction and Non-Recurring Items. In February 2001,
Janus eliminated 468 jobs from its operations unit, Janus Service Corporation,
as a result of a lower level of shareowner activity and its aggressive use of
technology to moderate costs. The job reduction did not affect Janus's
investment team, which continues to aggressively recruit and add analysts to its
staff. Janus recorded a non-recurring charge in first quarter 2001 of
approximately $9.1 million related to severance, operational and other costs.
Partially offsetting these costs was a first quarter 2001 reduction of
approximately $8.2 million in stock bonus accruals at Janus that were no longer
payable as a result of the sale of shares of Janus common stock by various
employees to Stilwell as discussed above.

      On April 20, 2001, Janus announced a further work force reduction that
affected approximately 546 employees and resulted in the closing of its Austin,
Texas call center. This action reflects a return to a more normalized level of
shareowner activity, significant technological advancements that provide
capacity to adjust to business fluctuations and the evolution in shareowner
approaches to inquiries and investments. Janus recorded approximately $39.4
million in second quarter 2001 non-recurring costs associated with severance,
business closing and related expenses.

      The reductions in workforce and facility closings saved approximately
$0.02 per diluted share in second quarter 2001 and similar savings are expected
to continue in the future.

      Janus Issuance of Restricted Stock. On January 26, 2001, certain Janus
employees were granted 64,885 shares of restricted Janus stock. The terms of the
grant were consistent with the grant made in 2000 (see additional information in
Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements under Part II Item 8, Financial
Statements and Supplementary Data, in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2000). Pursuant to the terms of the grant, 20%
of the shares vested immediately in recognition of the employees' contributions
during 2000. Accordingly, Janus recorded approximately $24 million of
compensation expense relating to this grant during 2000. Approximately $13
million of the compensation expense represented the fair market value of the
shares granted and approximately $11 million resulted from the amortization of
the prepaid expense associated with compensation payments made by Janus to
grantee employees in connection with the decision by each employee to make a
ss.83(b) election under the Internal Revenue Code upon receipt of the Janus
shares.

(i)  On July 31, 2000,  shareholders of the Retirement Shares of the Janus Aspen
     Series approved a spin-off of such shares to form the Janus Adviser Series,
     which eliminated the requirement that the Retirement Shares be sold only to
     certain qualified retirement plans.

      The Company earned $90.4 million in second quarter 2001 compared to $151.7
million in second quarter 2000. Exclusive of the one-time items in second
quarter 2000 and 2001 as discussed in notes (i) and (ii) in the earnings table
above, earnings decreased approximately 31%. This decrease reflects lower
revenues due to lower assets under management, an increase in amortization
expense associated with purchases of Janus common stock and higher depreciation
resulting from Janus's technology infrastructure development over the last three
years.

      Average assets under management decreased 26% compared to prior year's
second quarter (from $304.2 billion to $223.9 billion), leading to a decline in
revenues from $563.0 million to $411.5 million in second quarter 2001. The lower
revenues resulted in a $127.1 million decrease in operating income
quarter-to-quarter ($87.7 million, exclusive of one-time costs). Stilwell
reported a lower operating margin in second quarter 2001 compared to the prior
year, but continued to exceed 40% when removing the one-time costs. Stilwell's
ability to maintain a strong operating margin reflects the savings generated by
Janus in connection with its increased focus on electronic shareowner servicing
and reliance on technology. Furthermore, Stilwell maintained this margin despite
an additional $8.9 million in amortization expense during the quarter associated
with the goodwill and intangible assets recorded in connection with the Janus
share purchases during the first half of the year. Exclusive of one-time gains
recorded by DST, Stilwell's equity in net earnings of DST increased 13% during
second quarter 2001 versus 2000, continuing the strong growth trends experienced
by DST over the last several quarters.


JANUS AND BERGER

      Assets under management for Janus and Berger totaled $218.8 billion, an
increase of $14.2 billion since March 31, 2001. This increase reflects net cash
inflows of $2.1 billion and market appreciation of $12.1 billion. Compared to
December 31, 2000 and June 30, 2000, assets under management have declined by
approximately $37.6 billion and $92.9 billion, respectively, substantially due
to market depreciation associated with the general


                                       21



downturn in the various markets and indices. Average assets under management for
Janus and Berger during second quarter 2001 totaled approximately $222.6 billion
compared to $245.2 billion in first quarter 2001 and $302.8 billion in second
quarter 2000. See the brief discussions of Janus and Berger separately below.

      Investment management fees for Janus and Berger decreased in second
quarter 2001 compared to prior year's second quarter as a result of the decrease
in average assets under management. Aggregate investment management fees
continued to total approximately 60 basis points of average assets under
management. Shareowner servicing fees and other revenues decreased $26.6 million
compared to prior year's second quarter, primarily due to declines in assets
under management.

      The operating margin for Janus and Berger (exclusive of the severance,
facility closing and related costs) decreased to 45.7% from 46.5% in second
quarter 2000. Operating expenses totaled $260.2 million ($220.8 million
exclusive of one-time costs) for the three months ended June 30, 2001 compared
to $298.2 million in the prior year quarter. Operating expenses with notable
decreases quarter-to-quarter included the following items: i) compensation,
primarily due to a 34% reduction in the average number of employees in second
quarter 2001 versus 2000, as well as to reduced investment performance-based
incentive compensation; ii) third party concession fees resulting from a lower
level of assets distributed through these arrangements; iii) professional
services (due to a lower number of temporary employees in 2001 versus 2000); and
iv) other variable costs reflecting the decline in revenues. Offsetting these
decreases, however, was a $2 million increase in depreciation arising from
Janus's technology and operational infrastructure efforts over the last three
years.

      Other income declined during the quarter largely as a result of reduced
interest income (from lower average cash balances and interest rates). In
addition, minority interest in consolidated earnings decreased from $27.9
million in second quarter 2000 to $8.1 million in second quarter 2001,
reflecting Stilwell's increased ownership of Janus and the lower income reported
by Janus quarter-to-quarter.


NELSON, DST AND OTHER

      Nelson's assets under management were essentially unchanged from March 31,
2001 and were down slightly from December 31, 2000. The decline from December
31, 2000, however, reflects fluctuations in the currency exchange rate. Assets
under management in British pounds actually increased from (pound)908 million at
December 31, 2000 to (pound)916 million at June 30, 2001. As a result of
increased marketing and brand-awareness initiatives, the number of shareowner
accounts has grown approximately 12% since June 30, 2000. Because of the costs
associated with these initiatives, the net loss from Nelson increased in second
quarter 2001 versus 2000. The Company expects that during this phase of Nelson's
development, Nelson will operate at a loss because the rate of growth in
expenses will exceed that of revenues (primarily due to increases in the number
of employees, technology infrastructure development and marketing efforts).
These losses, however, are not expected to have a material impact on Stilwell's
results of operations or financial position.

      Second quarter 2001 equity earnings from DST were $24.4 million versus
$15.4 million in second quarter 2000. Exclusive of the one-time items discussed
above, equity earnings from DST increased $1.9 million quarter-to-quarter. This
improvement was largely attributable to higher earnings in DST's financial
services segment. Consolidated DST revenues increased 34%, largely due to the
inclusion of revenue from EquiServe Limited Partnership, in which DST acquired
controlling ownership on March 30, 2001. Revenues also increased due to a higher
number of shareowner accounts serviced (totaling 74.8 million at June 30, 2001
compared to 73.5 million at March 31, 2001, 72.1 million at December 31, 2000
and 63.9 million at June 30, 2000) and a higher level of images produced and
statements mailed (increases of 11% and 2%, respectively, since prior year
second quarter).

      Other Stilwell operating expenses increased in the second quarter 2001
versus the same period in 2000, primarily due to the higher amortization expense
resulting from the goodwill and intangible assets recorded in connection with
the acquisition of 802,042 shares of Janus common stock during the first half of
2001.


                                       22




      Interest expense to third parties increased as a result of interest
associated with the acquisition of shares of Janus common stock from Mr. Bailey,
accreted interest on the Convertible Notes and amortization of 2/12th of the
approximately $16.4 million in debt issue costs paid in connection with the
Convertible Notes.

     of marketable securities.

(ii) Includes  certain   non-recurring  items  as  follows:  a)  Janus  recorded
     approximately  $48.5 million  ($26.5  million after  minority  interest and
     income taxes) in severance,  facility  closing and related costs associated
     with work force  reductions and the closing of its Austin location in April
     2001;  b) Janus  recorded a reduction of  approximately  $8.2 million ($4.4
     million after  minority  interest and income taxes) in stock bonus accruals
     at Janus  that were no longer  payable as a result of the sale of shares of
     Janus common stock by various employees to Stilwell as discussed above; and
     c) the Company  recorded $8.1 million  ($7.5  million  after-tax) in equity
     earnings  of  DST  representing  Stilwell's   proportionate  share  of  DST
     non-recurring  gains  in  connection  with  the  sale  of  DST's  portfolio
     accounting business and sales of marketable equity securities during second
     quarter 2001.


                                       23



(iii)Janus net income is  reported  after  minority  interest  of  approximately
     $55.3 and $27.1  million  for the six months  ended June 30, 2000 and 2001,
     respectively.

(iv) Stilwell's investment in DST is held by SMI.

      The Company earned $201.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001
compared to $340.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Exclusive of
one-time items as noted in (i) and (ii) in the table above, earnings decreased
approximately 26%. This decrease reflects lower revenues due to lower asset
under management levels, an increase in depreciation and amortization (as
discussed in the second quarter above) and interest expense associated with
funding purchases of Janus common stock.

      Average assets under management decreased 21% compared to prior year (from
$299.3 billion to $235.2 billion), leading to a $248.1 million (22%) decline in
revenues. Operating income decreased by $189.2 million ($148.9 million exclusive
of one-time costs) period-to-period. Stilwell reported a lower operating margin
in the first half of 2001 compared to 2000, indicative of the pressures expected
due to the lower level of assets under management and resulting lower revenue
totals, as well as to higher depreciation and amortization and certain
components of expenses that are fixed. The margin, however, remained above 40%,
reflecting the strong operational flexibility of Stilwell, particularly Janus.
Exclusive of one-time items, Stilwell's equity in net earnings of DST increased
18% during the six months ended June 30, 2001 versus 2000.


JANUS AND BERGER

      Average assets under management for Janus and Berger during the six months
ended June 30, 2001 totaled $233.9 billion, approximately 21% lower than
comparable 2000. The lower level of average assets under management for Janus
and Berger was substantially due to market depreciation, which is consistent
with the general downturn in the various markets and indices. See the brief
discussions of Janus and Berger separately below.

      Investment management fees, shareowner servicing fees and other revenues
declined period-to-period, reflecting the decrease in average assets under
management. Aggregate revenues continued to total approximately 73 to 74 basis
points of average assets under management.

      The operating margin for Janus and Berger decreased to 44.3% (exclusive of
severance, facility closing and other costs) from 46.9% in comparable 2000.
Operating expenses totaled $513.7 million ($473.4 million exclusive of one-time
items) for the six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to $582.8 million in the
prior year period. Reduced operating expenses occurred in the same key
components identified in the second quarter discussion above. Compensation and
third party concession fees - the two largest components of Stilwell's operating
expenses - represented approximately 34% of revenues for the six months ended
June 30, 2001, which is an improvement over the approximately 36% experienced
during the same 2000 period. As noted in the second quarter 2001, depreciation
increased due to Janus's technology and operational infrastructure efforts over
the last three years, thereby pressuring the operating margin.

      Other income and minority interest in consolidated earnings declined
during the six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to 2000 for the same reasons
identified in the second quarter discussion above.


NELSON, DST AND OTHER

      The net loss from Nelson increased in 2001 versus 2000 as a result of its
ongoing efforts to expand its existing operations and develop products and
services that complement its core business. As noted above, the losses incurred
as Nelson expands are not expected to have a material impact on Stilwell's
results of operations or financial position.


                                       24



      Equity earnings from DST for the six months ended June 30, 2001 were $42.2
million versus $33.5 million in 2000. Exclusive of the one-time items discussed
above, equity earnings from DST increased $5.3 million to $34.1 million. This
improvement was largely attributable to higher earnings in DST's financial
services segment, driven by increased revenues.

      Other Stilwell operating expenses increased over the comparable prior
year, primarily as a result of higher amortization expense resulting from the
Janus stock purchases. Partially offsetting this increase in amortization
expense, however, was lower consulting and compensation costs.

      Interest expense to third parties increased by $10.7 million, primarily as
a result of the items identified in the second quarter discussion.

Subsidiary Information

      A brief discussion of significant Janus, Berger and Nelson items during
the six months ended June 30, 2001 follows:

       Janus
       -----
       Janus revenues are largely dependent on the total value and composition
       of assets under management, which are primarily invested in domestic and
       international equity and debt securities. During the six months ended
       June 30, 2001, assets under management decreased by $37.7 billion due to
       market depreciation of $35.7 billion and net cash outflows of $2.0
       billion. Significantly, however, Janus experienced net cash inflows
       during the second quarter, indicative of the continued appeal of the
       Janus investment management approach and its franchise brand. Total Janus
       shareowner accounts remained relatively stable during the period,
       declining less than 1% since December 31, 2000. While operating margins
       declined during the first half of 2001 compared to the record levels
       experienced throughout 2000, Janus's well-planned cost structure and
       ongoing review of that structure has produced margins that consistently
       surpass industry averages.

       As a result of the work force reductions in February and April 2001 and
       the closing of the Austin location in April 2001, Janus realized expense
       benefits during the second quarter of 2001. Note, however, that the
       aggregate effects of this reorganization will not be realized until a
       later date (e.g., after severance agreements have been completed,
       sub-leasing arrangements have been finalized). While the number of
       full-time employees in the operational and service areas of Janus
       declined as a result of these business decisions, Janus has increased its
       personnel in the investment area - the competency considered to be most
       critical to Janus's ongoing success.

       During 2000, Janus closed five funds, including the Janus Fund, its
       flagship equity product, and introduced three new funds (Janus Strategic
       Value Fund, Janus Orion Fund and Janus Fund 2). In addition, Janus
       introduced Janus Global Value Fund in June 2001. These actions, together
       with its efforts to provide leading-edge technology for electronic
       transaction and servicing capabilities, highlight Janus's ongoing focus
       to act in its shareowners' best interests.

       Berger
       ------
       Berger assets under management increased by $0.1 billion during the six
       months ended June 30, 2001, reflecting net cash inflows of $0.5 billion,
       partially offset by market depreciation of $0.4 billion. Berger's ability
       to maintain net cash inflows during the year, as well as to increase its
       shareowner accounts to more than 268,000, reflects the results of
       Berger's efforts to broaden its fund platform to include value products.
       Berger experienced a decrease in its operating margin during the second
       quarter and year to date 2001, primarily due to increases in third-party
       concession costs based on growth in assets through such arrangements.


                                       25



       Nelson
       ------
       Nelson continues to focus on building brand awareness through its
       relationships with premier corporations and the ongoing presentations to
       these corporations' employees. Further, marketing and promotional efforts
       developed to secure clients through direct channels are broadening the
       Nelson platform of capabilities and opportunities. The number of advisors
       working with clients has grown from 25 in 1998 to 44 as of June 30, 2001.
       The number of clients during that same period has grown by nearly 50%.


TRENDS AND OUTLOOK

     Stilwell's earnings and cash flows are heavily dependent on prevailing
financial market conditions. Significant increases or decreases in the various
securities markets, particularly the equity markets, can have a material impact
on Stilwell's results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

     Additionally, Stilwell results are affected by the relative performance of
Janus, Berger and Nelson products, introduction and market reception of new
products, the closing of existing funds to new investors, as well as other
factors, including increases in the rate of return of alternative investment
products, increasing competition as the number of mutual funds continues to
grow, and changes in marketing and distribution channels.

     Due to the downturn in the financial equity markets during the second half
of 2000 and first half of 2001, Stilwell's assets under management have declined
from levels experienced during 2000. Accordingly, revenues during 2001 are
expected to decrease from the comparable 2000 periods to the extent that the
markets continue to be unfavorable to equity growth managers. A decrease in
revenues is likely to result in lower operating income and net income.

     As a result of the rapid revenue growth during the last two years,
Stilwell's operating margins have been strong. Operating margins in second
quarter and year to date 2001 declined from levels experienced throughout 2000.
Management expects that Stilwell will continue to experience margin pressures in
the future as the various subsidiaries strive to ensure that the operational and
administrative infrastructure continues to meet the high standards of quality
and service historically provided to investors.

     Stilwell expects to continue to participate in the earnings or losses from
its DST investment.

                                        ================         ===============

      During the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company's consolidated cash
position increased $74.4 million from December 31, 2000. This increase is
largely attributable to proceeds (approximately $673.6 million)


                                       26



from the issuance of the Convertible Notes and net income, partially offset by
the use of funds for the acquisition of 802,042 shares of Janus common stock and
distributions to minority stockholders.

      Net operating cash inflows for the six months ended June 30, 2001 were
$36.0 million lower than comparable 2000. This decrease was chiefly attributable
to lower net income, decreases in liabilities primarily due to accrued
compensation payments and an increase in other assets resulting from payments
made by Janus on behalf of its employees in connection with a ss.83(b) election
for tax purposes (see "Significant Developments" above). This decrease was
partially offset by a decline in deferred commission payments and lower accounts
receivable balances period-to-period.

      Net investing cash outflows were $859.1 million during the six months
ended June 30, 2001 compared to $76.2 million during the comparable 2000 period.
This difference results primarily from a $840.9 million increase in investments
in affiliates, largely attributable to the purchase of 802,042 shares of Janus
common stock from various minority stockholders. This increase was partially
offset by a $55.6 million reduction in capital expenditures for the six months
ended June 30, 2001 versus 2000.

      Through June 30, 2001, financing cash inflows include the net proceeds
received in connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes and a net $50
million borrowing under the credit facilities in connection with the purchase of
shares of Janus common stock from various minority stockholders. In first
quarter 2000, Stilwell repaid the $125 million of indebtedness assumed by
Stilwell from KCSI. Distributions to minority stockholders of $87.1 million in
the first half of 2001 exceeded the $16.9 million in 2000 due to the timing of
dividend payments by Janus.

      The Company believes its operating cash flows and available financing
resources are sufficient to fund working capital and other requirements for the
remainder of 2001. Cash flows from operations are expected to continue during
the remainder of 2001 from positive operating income, which has historically
resulted in favorable operating cash flows. Based on activity during the first
half of 2001, the Company does not expect that deferred commission payments will
be at the levels experienced in 2000.

      Capital expenditure levels are expected to be lower than in 2000, largely
due to the extensive infrastructure efforts over the last three years at Janus.
As noted in "Significant Developments" above, Janus expects to repurchase up to
143,000 shares of its common stock from various employees during third quarter
2001, the total cost of which is expected to be approximately $145 million.

      As discussed in "Significant Developments" above, the Company issued its
Convertible Notes in April 2001.  The Company is currently evaluating
alternatives for refinancing the Convertible Notes in the event that the holders
exercise their puts.  Approximately $610 million of the $673.6 million of
proceeds from the offering were used to fund the acquisition of Janus shares
from Mr. Bailey. The remaining $63.6 million is available for general corporate
purposes.  These amounts are classified as current liabilities in the
Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2001 because the holders
of the Convertible Notes may put the Convertible Notes to Stilwell on
April 30, 2002.

      The Company has available $350 million at the holding company and $200
million at Janus through its credit facilities. Because of certain financial
covenants contained in the credit facilities, however, maximum utilization of
the Company's credit facilities may be restricted. In addition, the covenants
may also limit the amount of other indebtedness incurred by Stilwell. Stilwell,
as a continuation of its practice of providing credit facilities to its
subsidiaries, has provided an intercompany credit facility to Janus for use by
Janus for general corporate purposes, effectively reducing the amount of credit
available for Stilwell's other purposes.

       Stilwell may also require additional capital sooner than anticipated to
the extent that Stilwell's operations do not progress as anticipated or if
certain put rights are exercised by Janus minority stockholders (see below).
Stilwell intends to obtain any additional financing for general corporate
purposes on substantially the same terms and conditions as the credit facilities
and, prior to expiration of these facilities, expects to either renew the
existing arrangement or negotiate a new facility.


                                       27




      In July 2000, the Company announced a $1 billion stock repurchase program
to be completed over a period of two years. The Company did not repurchase any
shares during the six months ended June 30, 2001. As of June 30, 2001, the
Company had repurchased approximately 7.2 million shares of its common stock for
a total cost of approximately $323.3 million. While the Company anticipates
funding the repurchases with cash flow from operations, it is possible that the
existing credit facilities, and/or any additional financing alternatives, could
be used for these purposes.


OTHER

      Minority Purchase Agreements. A stock purchase agreement with Mr. Bailey
and another Janus stockholder (the "Janus Stock Purchase Agreement") contains,
among other provisions, mandatory put rights whereby under certain
circumstances, Stilwell would be required to purchase the minority interests of
such Janus minority stockholders at a fair market value purchase price equal to
fifteen times the net after-tax earnings over the period indicated in the
relevant agreement. Under the Janus Stock Purchase Agreement, termination of Mr.
Bailey's employment could require a purchase and sale of the Janus common stock
held by him. If all of the mandatory purchase and sale provisions and all the
puts under the Janus Stock Purchase Agreement were implemented, Stilwell would
have been required to pay approximately $613 million. In the future, these
amounts may be higher or lower depending on Janus's earnings, fair market value
and the timing of the exercise. Payment for the purchase of the respective
minority interests is to be made under the Janus Stock Purchase Agreement within
120 days after receiving notification of exercise of the put rights.

      The Janus Stock Purchase Agreement and certain stock purchase agreements
and restriction agreements with other minority stockholders also contain
provisions whereby upon the occurrence of a Change in Ownership (as defined in
such agreements) of Stilwell (as to the Janus Stock Purchase Agreement) or KCSI
(as to purchase and restriction agreements), Stilwell may be required to
purchase such holders' Janus stock or, as to the stockholders that are parties
to the Janus Stock Purchase Agreement, at such holders' option, to sell its
stock of Janus to such minority stockholders. For purposes of the Janus Stock
Purchase Agreement, a Change in Ownership may occur only through a change in the
composition of the Stilwell Board not approved by the pre-existing Stilwell
Board, or a change in stock ownership not approved by the pre-existing Stilwell
Board. The fair market value price for such purchase or sale would be equal to
fifteen times the net after-tax earnings over the period indicated in the
relevant agreement, in some circumstances as determined by Janus' Stock Option
Committee or as determined by an independent appraisal. If Stilwell had been
required to purchase the holders' Janus common stock after a Change in Ownership
as of June 30, 2001, the purchase price would have been approximately $870
million.


                                       28




      As of June 30, 2001, Stilwell had $350 million in credit facilities
available and had cash balances at the Stilwell holding company level in excess
of $350 million. The market value of Stilwell's 33% investment in DST was more
than $2 billion, using DST's closing price on the New York Stock Exchange on
June 30, 2001. To the extent that available credit facilities, existing cash
balances and proceeds from borrowing against or liquidating a portion of
Stilwell's investment in DST (within the covenant limitations pursuant to the
credit facilities) were insufficient to fund its purchase obligations, Stilwell
had access to the capital markets and, with respect to the Janus Stock Purchase
Agreement, had 120 days to raise additional sums. Stilwell would account for any
such acquisition under the purchase method of accounting.

      New Accounting Pronouncements. In June 1998, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("FAS 133").
FAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative financial
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires recognition of all
derivatives as either assets or liabilities measured at fair value. While
Stilwell does not generally enter into transactions covered by this statement,
the Company continues to evaluate alternatives with respect to utilizing foreign
currency instruments to hedge its U.S. dollar investment in Nelson as market
conditions change or exchange rates fluctuate. The adoption of FAS 133 did not
have a significant impact on Stilwell's results of operations, financial
position or cash flows.

      In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("FAS 141")
and Statement of Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets" ("FAS 142"). FAS 141 will become effective for business combinations
initiated after June 30, 2001 and requires purchase method accounting. Under FAS
142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives will no longer be
amortized. Instead, such goodwill and other intangible assets will be tested
annually for impairment. FAS 142 will be effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2001. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that
adoption of these provisions will have on its financial statements.
