                     JEFFERIES GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Jefferies Group, Inc. ("Group") and all its subsidiaries ("Company"), including
Jefferies & Company, Inc. ("JEFCO"). The accounts of Investment Technology
Group, Inc. and all its subsidiaries (collectively "ITG"), including its wholly
owned subsidiary, ITG Inc. are included in the financial statements as
discontinued operations up to April 27, 1999 (the spin-off date). The accounts
of W & D Securities, Inc. ("W & D") are consolidated because of the nature and
extent of the Group's ownership interest in W & D. The Company and its
subsidiaries (after the discontinuance of ITG) are primarily engaged in a single
line of business as a securities broker-dealer, which includes several types of
services, such as principal and agency transactions in equity, convertible debt
and high yield securities, as well as corporate finance activities.

     All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in
consolidation. The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments,
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair statement of the
results for the interim periods and should be read in conjunction with the
Company's annual report for the year ended December 31, 1998.

SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

     All transactions in securities, commission revenues and related expenses
are recorded on a trade-date basis.

     Securities owned and securities sold, not yet purchased, are valued at
market, and unrealized gains or losses are reflected in revenues from principal
transactions.

COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCK

     In conjunction with the spin-off of ITG, the stated par value per share of
both the Company's common and preferred stock was changed from $0.01 to $.0001
and 774,278 shares of treasury stock were retired. A total of $245,000 was
reclassified to the Company's additional paid-in capital account from the
Company's common stock account.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

     Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period's amounts to
conform to the current period's presentation.

NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

     As registered broker-dealers, JEFCO and W & D are subject to the Securities
and Exchange Commission's Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1), which requires
the maintenance of minimum net capital. JEFCO and W & D have elected to use the
alternative method permitted by the Rule, which requires that they each maintain
minimum net capital, as defined, equal to the greater of $250,000 or 2% of the
aggregate debit balances arising from customer transactions, as defined.

     Net capital changes from day to day, but as of September 24, 1999, JEFCO's
and W & D's net capital was $219.2 million and $2.5 million, respectively, which
exceeded minimum net capital requirements by $213.8 million and $2.3 million,
respectively.

QUARTERLY DIVIDENDS

     In 1988, the Company instituted a policy of paying regular quarterly
dividends. There are no restrictions on the Company's present ability to pay
dividends on common stock, other than the governing provisions of the Delaware
General Corporation Law.

            ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     This document and in particular the section entitled "The Year 2000
Project" contains certain forward-looking statements. These statements are
intended to be "forward-looking statements", as that phrase is defined by the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements,
which can be identified by the use of terms such as "plan," "will," "would,"
"expect," or variations of such terms, may not occur as presently anticipated
due to various uncertainties. As a result, no forward-looking statement should
be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the
presently anticipated events will occur as described herein.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

     Total assets increased $404.9 million from $2,617.9 million at December 31,
1998 to $3,022.8 million at September 24, 1999. The increase in assets is mostly
due to an increase in the balances associated with JEFCO's securities borrowed
and loaned matched book business.

THIRD QUARTER 1999 VERSUS THIRD QUARTER 1998

     Revenues, net of interest expense, increased 19% to $123.1 million,
compared to $103.7 million for the third quarter of 1998. The increase was due
primarily to a $14.9 million, or 44%, increase in principal transactions, a $3.0
million, or 271%, increase in other income, and a $2.7 million, or 20%, increase
in corporate finance, partially offset by a $780,000, or 14%, decrease in net
interest income and a $553,000, or 1%, decrease in commissions. Commission
revenues decreased mostly due to the Equities Division. Revenues from principal
transactions increased primarily due to increased trading gains related to other
proprietary trading. Corporate finance revenues increased despite the currently
difficult environment for underwritings. Net interest income (interest revenues
less interest expense) was down $780,000 mostly due to a reduction in other
interest income.

     Total non-interest expenses increased 11% to $107.6 million, compared to
$96.9 million for the third quarter of 1998. Compensation and benefits increased
$12.9 million, or 20%, mostly due to an increase in incentive based compensation
accruals. Other expense decreased $1.9 million or 39%, mostly due to adjustments
of accruals for legal, bad debts and other miscellaneous expenses. Occupancy and
equipment rental increased $887,000 or 27%, due mostly to office space
relocation expenses. Communications decreased $776,000, or 6%, mostly due to a
reduction in Y2K costs. Both travel and promotional and floor brokerage and
clearing fees remained relatively unchanged.

     Earnings before income taxes were up 127% to $15.5 million, compared to
$6.8 million for the same prior year period. The effective tax rate was
approximately 42.9% for the third quarter of 1999 and approximately 28.0% for
the third quarter of 1998. The increase in the tax rate is mostly due to the
favorable impact on the 1998 tax rate of a reversal of deferred taxes. The net
effect of the increase in earnings before income taxes and the increase in
effective tax rate was that earnings from continuing operations were up $3.9
million to $8.8 million, compared to $4.9 million for the same prior year
period.

     Earnings from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, amounted to a
relatively minor $91,000 and represent adjustments to spin-off expenses recorded
in the second quarter of 1999.

     Basic earnings from continuing operations per share were $0.37 for the
third quarter of 1999 on 23,971,000 shares compared to $0.22 in the 1998 period
on 22,432,000 shares. Diluted earnings from continuing operations per share were
$0.36 for the third quarter of 1999 on 24,288,000 shares compared to $0.21 in
the comparable 1998 period on 22,965,000 shares.


                                 Page 14 of 20
<PAGE>   15

     Basic net earnings per share were $0.37 for the third quarter of 1999 on
23,971,000 shares compared to $0.70 in the 1998 period on 22,432,000 shares.
Diluted net earnings per share were $0.37 for the third quarter of 1999 on
24,288,000 shares compared to $0.66 in the comparable 1998 period on 22,965,000
shares.

FIRST NINE MONTHS 1999 VERSUS FIRST NINE MONTHS 1998

     Revenues, net of interest expense, increased 5% to $399.7 million, compared
to $380.3 million for the first nine months of 1998. The increase was due
primarily to a $40.6 million, or 33%, increase in principal transactions, a
$14.8 million, or 11%, increase in commissions, a $4.2 million, or 131%,
increase in other income, and a $2.9 million, or 27%, increase in net interest
income, offset by a $43.1 million, or 39%, decrease in corporate finance.
Commission revenues increased, led by the Equities and Convertible Divisions.
Revenues from principal transactions increased primarily due to increased
trading gains in the High Yield Division, Equities Division and in other
proprietary trading. Corporate finance revenues declined due to the currently
difficult environment for underwritings. Net interest income (interest revenues
less interest expense) was up mostly due to an excess of securities borrowed
interest income over securities loaned interest expense.

     Total non-interest expenses increased slightly to $338.7 million, compared
to $337.5 million for the first nine months of 1998. Compensation and benefits
increased $7.1 million, or 3%, mostly due to an increase in incentive based
compensation accruals. Communications decreased $3.1 million, or 9%, including a
$1.2 million reduction in Y2K costs, mostly due to cost reduction measures taken
in the later part of 1998. Travel and promotional decreased $2.6 million, or
19%, largely due to a reduction in business travel. Other expense decreased $1.9
million, or 11%, mostly due to reductions in printing and postage/courier
expenses. Occupancy and equipment rental increased $1.0 million, or 9%, due
mostly to office space relocation expenses. Floor brokerage and clearing fees
increased $832,000, or 4%, due to increased volume of business executed on the
various exchanges.

     Earnings before income taxes were up 42% to $60.9 million, compared to
$42.8 million for the same prior year period. The effective tax rate was
approximately 42.1% for the first nine months of 1999 and approximately 37.9%
for the first nine months of 1998. The increase in the tax rate is mostly due to
the favorable impact on the 1998 tax rate of a reversal of deferred taxes. The
net effect of the increase in earnings before income taxes and the increase in
effective tax rate was that earnings from continuing operations were up 33% to
$35.3 million, compared to $26.6 million for the same prior year period.

     Earnings from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, were down $13.2
million, or 54%, mostly due to the cessation of ITG as a subsidiary of the
Company.

     Basic earnings from continuing operations per share were $1.49 for the
first nine months of 1999 on 23,708,000 shares compared to $1.20 in the 1998
period on 22,233,000 shares. Diluted earnings from continuing operations per
share were $1.47 for the first nine months of 1999 on 23,936,000 shares compared
to $1.16 in the comparable 1998 period on 22,918,000 shares.

     Basic net earnings per share were $1.96 for the first nine months of 1999
on 23,708,000 shares compared to $2.29 in the 1998 period on 22,233,000 shares.
Diluted net earnings per share were $1.93 for the first nine months of 1999 on
23,936,000 shares compared to $2.18 in the comparable 1998 period on 22,918,000
shares.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     During June 1999, JEFCO obtained a NASD Regulation approved $120,000,000
revolving credit facility to be used in connection with underwriting activities.
The revolving credit facility terminates in June 2001. Loans under this facility
bear interest at 2.5% over either the Federal funds rate or the London Interbank
Offered Rate. There have been no borrowings against the revolving credit
facility.

THE YEAR 2000 PROJECT

     The Y2K preparedness effort by the Company (the "Y2K Project") and its
subsidiaries began in late 1997 and early 1998 with an initial assessment of the
Company's systems, its risk of exposure, the steps necessary to achieve Y2K
compliance, and the resources necessary to implement those steps. As a result,
the Company engaged Keane, Inc. as independent Y2K consultants, and Ernst &
Young, LLP ("E&Y") to provide quarterly reviews of the Y2K Project as an
internal audit outsourcer and to provide the independent accountant's report
required by Release No. 34-40608. Together with the advice of these
professionals, the Company formulated and adopted a Y2K Master Plan.


                                 Page 16 of 20
<PAGE>   17

     The first phase of the Y2K Project, the Inventory, Assessment and Planning
phase, involved a complete assessment of the Company's systems, both information
technology ("IT") related and non-IT related, and a survey of all vendors and
key clients. Systems were categorized into one of three "Triage" Levels -
Mission Critical, Business Important, or Other, with "Mission Critical" defined
as those systems, the failure of which would result in the Company being unable
to conduct business. The Company also created the framework for the Remediation
and Testing phase that would follow, and set schedules for reaching the
Operational Sustainability and Fully Compliant phases. This planning process
provided a guide for each of the Company's divisions in its preparation of more
detailed project plans that outline specific areas of work on each system. The
Y2K Project called for the devotion of resources primarily to Mission Critical
systems during 1998, and Business Important and Other systems primarily in the
first quarter of 1999.

Current State of Readiness

     The Company completed the first phase of the Y2K Project (Inventory,
Assessment and Planning) during 1998, and completed the Remediation and Testing
phase on September 30, 1999. The Company has polled each of its vendors about
their Y2K compliance. Of the 668 vendors contacted, 620 (92.3%) have responded
and all who responded have indicated that they are or intend to become Y2K
compliant by mid-1999. Though none of the remaining vendors provides Mission
Critical services, the Company intends to attempt to obtain assurances from the
remaining vendors as time permits. Notwithstanding these representations from
its vendors, the Company is not relying on vendor statements of readiness but
has independently tested each system and connection as part of the Y2K Project
and continues to monitor the compliance of key vendor products. The Company has
obtained assurances from all its vendors of Mission Critical systems that each
vendor is Y2K compliant and the Company has no reason to believe any of those
vendors will be unable to sustain Y2K compliance through the remainder of the
year. However, because the Company may be forced to rely on contingency plans,
which may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and
operations, as discussed below, the Company continues to independently test each
system and connection for Y2K compliance.

     The Company's representatives have also contacted and tested with certain
key clients. Due to the nature of the Company's business, the clients that
comprise the vast majority of the Company's revenues are institutional and are
regulated by various governmental and self-regulatory bodies. The Company has
obtained assurances on the Y2K compliance of a majority of its key clients
through public disclosures and filings. In addition, the Company intends to
proactively work with clients to ensure their continued access to the Company's
services through the Year 2000 and to supply contingency plans to clients in the
event client system failures prevent interaction with the Company through
traditional methods.

     The Company has completed regression testing and implementation of all
systems needed to participate in the Securities Industry Association's ("SIA")
street-wide testing and successfully tested those systems in a forward date
environment during the SIA tests. The SIA tests resulted in no external Y2K
related errors and only minor internal errors. The Company has also obtained
compliant versions of all key systems from third party vendors and is testing
those systems.

     As of October 1, 1999, the Company "locked down" all IT systems and is no
longer permitting any changes to production systems without business unit
approval, IT approval, and full Y2K testing. Other than the implementation of
the Company's new internal payroll system which is scheduled for completion on
November 1, 1999, the Company expects to resist all new development except
changes that are required by regulation, are necessary to correct a specific
production problem, or are part of a Y2K contingency plan.

     The Company is working with its landlords and lessors to assure the
continued functionality of the Mission Critical non-IT systems upon which it is
dependent, and is in the process of preparing contingency plans for non-IT
failures as described below. Other than its internal audits and periodic
reporting requirements to the Commission and the NASD, the Company has not been
reviewed or audited by any state or federal regulators.

Costs to Address Y2K Issues

     The Company's budget for the Y2K Project is $17.3 million. Current spending
rates and projected expenses indicate that the Company will stay within that
budget. As of September 1999, approximately $15.5 million of costs in the budget
have already been incurred. The remainder of the Y2K budget will be spent
re-testing software as a result of product upgrades, confirming the Y2K
compliance of vendors and clients, implementing the Y2K Contingency Plan, and as
a reserve for future remediation in the event of any Y2K failure.

Risks

     Though the Company has now achieved Operational Sustainability, a number of
material risks remain which could have a materially adverse impact on the
Company. These risks generally arise as a result of either: (1) failures of
internal systems or (2) failures of third party systems. Despite the
considerable testing and remediation efforts the Company has undertaken, latent
errors in the Company's internal systems that remain undetected could cause
failures in those systems. Failures in one or more key systems would almost
certainly result in substantial impairment of the Company's ability to
efficiently process orders and trades or to perform its clearing functions.
Although the Company expects that the contingency plans discussed below will
allow it to continue operations, those contingency plans may not support the
volume of trading the Company is accustomed to and could therefore cause
substantial losses in revenue while they are relied upon. In the event failures
occur, lost data may result in failed trades and related violations of NASD and
SEC rules and regulations. To minimize the time during which it must rely on any
contingency plan, the Company plans to devote all available resources to
restoring normal system operations in the event any failures occur.

     There is also a substantial risk that failures by third parties could
compromise the major order-processing systems upon which the Company is heavily
dependent. Vendors such as Automatic Data Processing, Inc. and the Securities
Industry Automation Corporation have represented to the Company that they either
are or intend to become Y2K compliant and the Company has worked closely with
each of these parties as they prepare for Y2K, but the failure of any one of
these systems could result in a significant interruption of normal business for
the Company. Due to the interdependence of the Company's systems on those third
party systems, the Company does not believe any effective replacement products
could be adopted if those systems are not remediated and is therefore focusing
its attention on assisting with the remediation and testing process and on
developing contingency plans.

     In addition, there is also a risk that the Company's ability to conduct
transactions will be materially impaired by the failure of any significant
component of the national clearing and settlement system, failures of major
counterparties, exchanges or financial institutions in the marketplace. Failures
by one or more of the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the Nasdaq Stock Market,
the Depository Trust Company, the National Securities Clearing Corporation or
any of the largest banks or brokerage firms could prevent the entire market from
effectively transmitting and receiving data after the Year 2000, despite the Y2K
compliance of the Company's systems. Although it is expected that each of these
parties will conduct extensive testing to ensure that each is Y2K compliant,
there can be no assurance that an unforeseen problem will not create a market
disruption that in turn affects the Company's Brokerage and Investment Banking
Business.

Contingency Plans

     The Company has developed a Y2K Contingency Plan (the "Contingency Plan"),
a detailed mediation and recovery plan that covers each of the six significant
risks that may arise from a Y2K failure:

     1) loss of data,
     2) software failures,
     3) telecommunications failures,
     4) loss of key hardware,
     5) loss of key personnel, and
     6) loss of facilities.


                                 Page 18 of 20
<PAGE>   19

     The Contingency Plan addresses each of these risks with respect to each of
the Company's nine key business areas (Equities, International, High Yield,
Convertibles, Corporate Finance, Operations, Accounting, Facilities and
Technology), and addresses both internal systems and failures by key third party
information providers and other vendors. The Contingency Plan also sets forth an
approach to maintaining business continuity for each of the Company's key
business areas. The specific alternatives for failures of various systems are
set forth in the Contingency Plan and range from the use of cellular phones or
relocation of personnel in the event of a communication failure to the
installation of backup software or hardware.

     The Contingency Plan provides an analysis of each reasonably possible
failure scenario for a given Mission Critical system or process. Specifically,
the Contingency Plan sets forth (1) the likelihood of failure of each Mission
Critical system or process, (2) the circumstances under which a failure in such
systems might occur, (3) the impact the failure would have on the competitive
environment of the Company, and (4) a detailed mitigation strategy for each type
of failure. Mitigation strategies typically list specific products or vendors
that can be used to replace failed systems, manual alternatives for ordinarily
automated processes and alternative sources for data or datastreams that are
interrupted or become unreliable. Additional mitigation strategies are offered
where appropriate. The Contingency Plan also includes a specific description of
start up procedures to reactivate systems that fail, itemizes the staffing and
equipment requirements that will be associated with repairing or re-starting a
given system and a contact list of key individuals familiar with the system or
process that should be contacted to assist with remediation or business
restoration procedures. The Contingency Plan is modeled on the recommendations
of the SIA, and a companion Event Management Plan has also been drafted. The
Company intends to continue to modify and improve upon the Contingency Plan
until the Year 2000 to account for additional detail, alternatives and
techniques developed by the Company or adopted by the Securities industry. The
Company also intends to staff a Coordination and Communication Center during
late December, and to implement its Event Management Plan through the transition
into the Year 2000.

Forward Looking Statements

     The Company's projections in this section are based upon assumptions, which
it believes to be correct, but which are not guaranteed. Any change in those
assumptions could result in material variations in those projections, including
the projected costs for remediation and testing, the feasibility of using
contingency plans, and the impact of third party failures. Any such change could
have a material adverse impact on the Company and its results of operations.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

                            ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     Many aspects of the Company's business involve substantial risks of
liability. In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries
have been named as defendants or co-defendants in lawsuits involving primarily
claims for damages. The Company's management believes that pending litigation
will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.

                    ITEM 6. EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K

     (b) Reports on Form 8-K.

           None.
