*Previously paid

(1)  Based on the anticipated number of shares to be issued in connection with
     the merger calculated as the product of (A) 4,634,991, the aggregate number
     of shares of Kinnard Investments, Inc. common stock, par value $.02 per
     share, outstanding on September 6, 2000, exclusive of shares owned by the
     registrant, and (B) an exchange ratio of .7676 shares of Stockwalk common
     stock for each share of Kinnard common stock.

(2)  Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee
     required by Section 6(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and
     calculated pursuant to Rule 457(c), (f) (1) and (3).  The registration fee
     was computed based on the aggregate market value on June 27,2000 of the
     maximum number of shares of Kinnard Investments, Inc. common stock to be
     cancelled in the merger and calculated by multiplying  (A) the average of
     the high ($8.4375) and the low ($8.375) reported sales prices per share of
     Kinnard common stock on the Nasdaq NMS on June 27, 2000, multiplied by (B)
     4,568,595, representing the number of shares of Kinnard Investments, Inc.
     common stock to be cancelled in the merger, exclusive of shares owned by
     the registrant, and less the aggregate cash consideration to be paid by the
     registrant in the merger ($27,411,570).
