                                   (Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

As discussed in the Company's 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K, on June 12, 1998,
JWGenesis Financial Corp.  ("JWGenesis" or the "Company") and its predecessor JW
Charles Financial Services,  Inc. ("JWCFS") consummated a series of transactions
(the  "Combination")  in which  the  Company  acquired  Genesis  Merchant  Group
Securities LLC ("Genesis")  and JWCFS,  the latter pursuant to a statutory share
exchange of one share of JWGenesis  common stock for each  outstanding  share of
JWCFS common stock. As a result of the Combination,  JWGenesis  succeeded to the
business and  operations of JWCFS and Genesis,  with both becoming  wholly-owned
subsidiaries of the Company.  Information  relating to periods prior to June 12,
1998 is derived solely from  information and financial  statements of JWCFS and,
except  as  otherwise  expressly  indicated,  relates  to  matters  prior to the
Combination.

The interim financial  information included herein is unaudited;  however,  such
information  reflects all  adjustments  which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary for a fair presentation of the periods indicated.

The  accompanying   consolidated  condensed  financial  statements  include  the
accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries.  Certain  information and footnote
disclosures  normally  included in financial  statements  prepared in conformity
with generally  accepted  accounting  principles  have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
These consolidated  condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the  consolidated  financial  statements and related notes contained in the
Company's 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Because of seasonal and other  factors,  the results of operations for the three
and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 are not  necessarily  indicative
of the results of operations to be expected for the fiscal year ending  December
31, 1999.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Reclassifications
- -----------------
Certain  amounts  in  the  prior  period's   consolidated   condensed  financial
statements  have  been   reclassified   to  conform  to  the  current   period's
presentation.  These  reclassifications  are not  material  to the  consolidated
condensed financial statements.

3. CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved in various  claims and possible  actions  arising out of
the normal course of its business. Although the ultimate outcome of these claims
cannot be ascertained  at this time, it is the opinion of the Company,  based on
knowledge of facts and advice of counsel,  that the  resolution  of such actions
will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and
results of operations.

4. NET CAPITAL

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.  At September  30,  1999,  the net capital  positions of the  Company's
broker- dealer subsidiaries were as follows:


CSG:
         Ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital                     1.22
         Net capital                                                  $3,435,000
         Required net capital                                           $280,000

JWG Securities:
         Ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital                     4.18
         Net capital                                                  $1,434,000
         Required net capital                                           $400,000


GSG:
         Ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital                     2.89
         Net capital                                                    $515,000
         Required net capital                                           $100,000

DMG:
         Ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital                      .32
         Net capital                                                    $296,000
         Required net capital                                           $100,000

5. ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

On June 12, 1998,  the Company  acquired JWG Capital,  formerly known as Genesis
Merchant Group Securities,  LLC, a San Francisco-based  investment banking firm.
The  acquisition  (which  was  accounted  for under  the  purchase  method)  was
accomplished  by the Company  through the  issuance of  1,500,000  shares of its
authorized  but unissued  common  stock in exchange for a 100%  ownership in JWG
Capital. The purchase price of $18,650,000 exceeded the fair value of net assets
acquired  by   approximately   $15,250,000,   which  is  being  amortized  on  a
straight-line basis over 20 years.

On March 3, 1999, the Company divested JWG Capital,  whose operations  consisted
primarily of the Company's San  Francisco-based  brokerage  processing  services
unit that had been acquired in the  Combination on June 12, 1998, to an investor
group led by certain former owners of JWG Capital in exchange for 284,375 shares
of common  stock of the  Company  and various  mutual  releases.  As part of the
divestiture,  JWG Capital transferred its investment banking,  corporate finance
and portions of its capital markets business to another Company  subsidiary,  so
that those  operations  would be retained by the  Company.  The Company  assumed
responsibility  for and  retained  occupancy  of the New York City office of JWG
Capital.


On June 1, 1999, the Company completed the sale of JWG Clearing to Fiserv,  Inc.
("Fiserv")  through its wholly owned subsidiary  Fiserv Clearing,  Inc. ("Fiserv
Clearing").  JWG Clearing had functioned  primarily as the Company's  securities
clearing,  execution,  and back office services unit, and only those  operations
comprised  JWG  Clearing at the time the sale was  consummated.  For the sale to
Fiserv, the Company received cash consideration of $58,870,000,  and may receive
additional  consideration  based on the  outcome  of  various  matters.  Of this
amount,  $18,870,000  represented  the net book  value of JWG  Clearing  and $40
million  represented  the purchase  price in excess of the net book value of JWG
Clearing.  Of the $40 million,  $25 million was  recorded as income  (reduced by
certain  expenses  related to the sale) in the current  period under the caption
"gain on sale of  subsidiary"  and the  remaining  $15 million was recorded as a
deferred gain and will be accreted into income ratably over 10 years.

In connection with the sale, (i) the Company entered into a Transition  Services
Agreement  pursuant to which,  following  the sale,  it will continue to provide
certain  assistance and services to JWG Clearing and Fiserv  Clearing,  and will
permit JWG  Clearing  and Fiserv  Clearing  to use certain  facilities  during a
transition period for a monthly fee approximating actual costs; (ii) the Company
agreed not to compete for ten years in the  securities  clearing  and  execution
business  and  not to  solicit  personnel  of JWG  Clearing  or  Fiserv  and its
affiliates;  and (iii) the Company  agreed,  subject to certain  limitations and
exclusions    (primarily   related   to   independent    contractor   registered
representatives,  possible future acquisitions, and a one-year phase-in period),
to use and cause its subsidiaries and affiliates to use the clearing services of
designated  Fiserv  affiliates  for at least 90% of their  securities  brokerage
transactions,   and,   in  the  case  of   independent   contractor   registered
representatives, to impose a surcharge on certain such transactions that are not
cleared  through a Fiserv  affiliate,  during the 10-year  period  following the
sale.  The  Company  has the  right,  however,  to be  released  from the  above
obligations  to use Fiserv  affiliates  or to impose a surcharge  by repaying to
Fiserv a portion of the sales price  based on a  prescribed  formula  that takes
into  account  the price  paid in the sale and the amount of  clearing  services
business  then being  generated  by the  Company or its  affiliate  seeking  the
release.

As a result of the sale and the above  agreements,  the Company ceased providing
clearing services,  both to third party  correspondents (such as broker dealers,
banks, and other financial  institutions)  and for its own securities  brokerage
transactions.

6. SEGMENT ANALYSIS

The  Company's   reportable   segments   are:   captive   retail   distribution,
independently owned retail distribution,  clearing and trading,  capital markets
and other.  The  captive  retail  distribution  segment  includes  the 22 retail
branches of JWG  Securities  and GSG located in  Florida,  California,  Georgia,
Illinois, Colorado,  Connecticut and New York. These branches provide securities
brokerage  services  including the sale of equities,  mutual funds, fixed income
products and insurance to their retail clients.  The independently  owned retail
distribution  segment  includes  the 118 CSG offices and one DMG office,  all of
which are located in the U.S., providing securities brokerage services including
the sale of equities, mutual funds, fixed income products and insurance to their
retail clients.  The clearing and trading segment now comprises primarily of the
trading of equities  and fixed  income  products as  principal,  investments  in
trading firms including  Knight/Trimark Group, Inc. and Strike Technologies LLC,
and proceeds  from the sale of JWG  Clearing.  Until June 1, 1999,  this segment
also included securities clearing,  execution, and related back office services,
none of which the Company now provides.  The capital  markets  segment  includes
management and participation in underwritings (exclusive of sales credits, which
are included in the distribution  segments),  mergers and  acquisitions,  public
finance,  institutional  trading,  institutional  research and market making for
institutional  research.  Segment data  includes  charges  allocating  corporate
overhead to each  segment.  Intersegment  revenues  and  charges are  eliminated
between  segments.  The Company  evaluates the  performance  of its segments and
allocates  resources to them based on return on investment.  The Company has not
disclosed  asset  information  by segment  as the  information  is not  produced
internally.

All  long-lived  assets  are  located  in the U.S.  The  Company's  business  is
predominantly in the U.S.
