              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

As discussed  elsewhere  herein and in the Company's  1999 Annual Report on Form
10-K, on June 12, 1998, JWGenesis Financial Corp. ("JWGenesis" or the "Company")
and its predecessor JWGenesis Financial,  Inc. ("JWGFI") consummated a series of
transactions (the  "Combination") in which the Company acquired Genesis Merchant
Group  Securities LLC ("Genesis") and JWGFI,  the latter pursuant to a statutory
share exchange of one share of JWGenesis common stock for each outstanding share
of JWGFI common stock. As a result of the  Combination,  JWGenesis  succeeded to
the business and  operations of JWGFI and Genesis.  Additionally , in connection
with the Combination, Genesis Merchant Group Securities, LLC changed its name to
JWGenesis Capital Markets, LLC. The information in the Financial Section of this
Report  relating  to  periods  prior to June 12,  1998 is  derived  solely  from
information and financial statements of JWGFI 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 condensed financial statements and related notes contained
in the Company's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Because of seasonal and other  factors,  the results of operations for the three
month period ended March 31, 2000 are not necessarily  indicative of the results
of operations to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2000.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

- -----------------

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.

the sale of equities, mutual funds, fixed income products and insurance to their
retail  clients.  The  clearing  and trading  segment  comprises  primarily  JWG
Clearing's  operations  through  June 1,  1999  which  were  providing  clearing
services  primarily  on a fully  disclosed  basis to small broker  dealers,  the
trading of equities and fixed income  products as principal,  and investments in
firms  including   MVP.com,   Inc.,   Knight/Trimark   Group,  Inc.  and  Strike
Technologies   LLC.  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

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AND GENERAL

From time to time, information provided by the Company or statements made by its
directors,  officers or employees may  constitute  "forward-looking  statements"
under the meaning of the Private  Securities  Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any
statements made in this Form 10-Q, including any statements  incorporated herein
by reference,  that are not  statements of historical  fact are  forward-looking
statements. Such forward-looking statements and other forward-looking statements
made  by  the  Company  or its  representatives  are  based  upon  a  number  of
assumptions and involve a number of risks and uncertainties,  and,  accordingly,
actual results could differ materially.  Factors that may cause such differences
include, but are not limited to, those set forth in Item 1 - Business, under the
heading "Risk Factors", in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1999 (the "1999 10-K").

As discussed in the 1999 10-K, on June 12, 1998, the Company acquired Genesis as
part  of  the  Combination  and  succeeded  to  the  respective  businesses  and
operations of both JWGFI and Genesis.  The results of all of Genesis' operations

                                       8
<PAGE>

are reflected in the  Company's  results for the portion of the fiscal year 1999
period  through March 3, 1999, on which date the Company  divested  Genesis in a
transaction  in which the Company  nonetheless  retained the  corporate  finance
services operations that it had been conducting through Genesis, while divesting
Genesis'  brokerage  processing  services  business  unit.  Management  does not
believe the effects of the divestiture is material to the Company's  operations.
However,  the inclusion of Genesis'  operations for most of the 1999 period does
have some impact on the Company's  data and this  analysis.  In the  discussions
below,  historical  references  to JWG  Capital  (which  is the new name for the
Company's  subsidiary that conducts the business  retained in the divestiture of
Genesis) include the divested operations of Genesis.

As also  discussed  in the 1999 10-K,  on June 1,  1999,  the  Company  sold JWG
Clearing in a cash  transaction for  approximately  $59 million,  and ceased all
securities clearing operations. The results of JWG Clearing's operations through
March 31, 1999 are included in the Company's  financial data for the three-month
period in 1999, but no such  operations are part of the data for the three-month
period  in 2000,  which  has a  significant  impact  on the  following  data and
analysis.

</TABLE>

Total revenues of $55,312,000 recorded in the 2000 Period represents an increase
of 28% compared to last year's  $43,369,000.  Moreover,  in the 1999 Period, JWG
Capital  (which  includes the  now-divested  operations  of Genesis as discussed
above)  represented  $3,158,000  of the  revenues,  JWG Clearing  accounted  for
$7,820,000,  of the revenues,  and the realized and unrealized  gains related to
the Company's  investment in Knight/Trimark  Group, Inc added $4,432,000 to 1999
revenues,  which  without  these  items  would  have  been  $27,959,000.   Using
$27,959,000  for 1999  Period  revenues,  the  increase  in revenues in the 2000
Period would have been $27,353,000 or 98%.


                                       9

Revenues from commissions account for the major portion of the increase in total
revenues for the 2000 Period,  as  commissions  increased by 56% to  $43,859,000
from  $28,043,000,  of which  JWG  Capital  contributed  $3,032,000  in the 1999
Period.  Without JWG Capital in the 1999 Period,  commission revenues would have
been $25,011,000,  in comparison to which the increase in commissions during the
2000 Period  would be 75%.  The increase is  attributable  to the industry  wide
increase  in market  activity  in the first  quarter  of 2000 as a result of the
record market trading volume,  record share prices in both the NASDAQ and listed
markets, as well as greatly increased market volatility.

Market making and principal transactions,  net increased 14% in the 2000 Period.
Importantly,  however,  the 1999 Period amount included  realized and unrealized
gains totaling $4,432,000 related to the Company's  investment in Knight/Trimark
Group, Inc. Exclusive of this gain in the 1999 Period,  the $5,407,000  increase
in market  making  and  principal  transactions,  net in the 2000  Period  would
constitute a percentage  increase of 233% over the 1999 Period,  reflecting  the
industry  wide  increase in market  activity  in the first  quarter of 2000 as a
result of the increased volume and volatility of the general  securities market,
as discussed above.

Interest revenues decreased $2,199,000 of 61% in the 2000 Period,  primarily due
to the sale of JWG Clearing (which historically  generated  significant interest
income),  with some offset for the interest  earned on the proceeds  received in
that sale. Clearing fees have been eliminated in the 2000 Period due to the sale
of JWG  Clearing.  Other  revenues  increased  $556,000 or 32%  primarily due to
investment  banking  revenues  in the 2000  Period  exceeding  those in the 1999
Period by $353,000.

Commissions  and  clearing  costs,  which  represent  the  portion of fee income
payable by the Company to registered  representatives or other broker-dealers as
a result of securities  transactions  (and the related costs associated with the
execution of such trades),  increased by  $13,768,000  or 68%in the 2000 Period,
which  relates  directly to the increase in combined  commission  and  principal
transaction  revenues.  Selling,  general and administrative  costs decreased by
$2,647,000  or 31% in the 2000 Period,  primarily as a result of the sale of JWG
Clearing  and the  divestiture  of  Genesis  which  contributed  $2,653,000  and
$1,035,000,  respectively, to the amount for the 1999 Period. Exclusive of these
amounts,  selling,  general and administrative  expenses increased $1,041,000 in
the 2000  Period due to an  increase in  advertising  expenditures  to gain name
recognition, in addition to a general increase related to the Company's increase
in activity and growth.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company  maintains a highly  liquid  balance  sheet with the majority of the
Company's  assets  consisting of cash and cash  equivalents;  securities  owned,
which are marked to market;  and receivables from brokers,  dealers and clearing
brokers arising from customer related securities transactions. The nature of the
Company's  business as a market maker and securities dealer requires it to carry
significant  levels of securities  inventories in order to meet its customer and
internal  trading  needs.  Accordingly,  the  Company's  liquidity can fluctuate
significantly  depending  largely upon general  economic and market  conditions,
volume of activity, customer demand and underwriting commitments.  The Company's
ability to support increases in its total assets is a function of its ability to
generate funds  internally and obtain  short-term  borrowings  from its clearing
firms and committed lines of credit.

At March  31,  2000,  the  Company  had  stockholders'  equity  of  $62,034,000,
representing a decrease of  $21,278,000  from December 31, 1999, and the Company
had cash and cash  equivalents  of  $30,957,000.  The decrease in  stockholders'
equity is primarily  related to the  Company's  expenditure  of  $35,000,000  in
connection  with  the  partial  tender  offer  in which  the  Company  purchased
1,750,000  shares of its common stock in February  2000.  That  expenditure  was
offset in part by net income of  $5,046,000  recorded for the three month period
ended March 31, 2000,  plus the proceeds from option  exercises  (including  tax
benefits from option  exercises)  and employee  stock purchase plan purchases in
the amount of $8,176,000 during the period.

At March 31, 2000, the Company had $12 million of borrowing  capacity  available
under its  committed  lines of credit  described  in the 1999 10-K.  The Company
presently owns securities that are convertible  into  approximately  1.5 million
shares of common stock of MVP.com,  Inc.,  which are  unregistered and for which
there is presently no public market.  Approximately  158,000 of these shares are
allocated to certain members of Company management. These securities, which have
a historical cost of approximately $3 million, are included in securities owned,
at estimated fair value in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statements of
Financial Condition, at their estimated market value of $8,400,000.
