                   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 "ITGI"), including its wholly
owned subsidiary, ITG Inc. are included in the financial statements as
discontinued operations. The accounts of W & D Securities, Inc. ("W & D") are
consolidated because of the nature and extent of Group's ownership interest in W
& D. The Company is 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, 1999.

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.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

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

RECEIVABLE FROM, AND PAYABLE TO, BROKERS AND DEALERS

     Receivable from and payable to brokers and dealers consists of the

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 29, 2000, JEFCO's
and W & D's net capital was $183.1 million and $1.9 million, respectively, which
exceeded minimum net capital requirements by $175.5 million and $1.7 million,
respectively.

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

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

     Total assets increased $833.9 million from $2,896.3 million at December 31,
1999 to $3,730.2 million at September 29, 2000. 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 2000 VERSUS THIRD QUARTER 1999

     Revenues, net of interest expense, increased 33% to $163.3 million,
compared to $123.1 million for the third quarter of 1999. The increase was due
primarily to a $22.0 million, or 136%, increase in corporate finance, a $16.4
million, or 33%, increase in principal transactions, a $2.6 million, or 5%,
increase in commissions, and a $2.4 million, or 478%, increase in asset
management, partially offset by a $3.0 million, 81%, decrease in other income
and a $309,000, or 6%, decrease in net interest income (interest revenues less
interest expense). Commissions and principal transactions revenue increased
mostly due to the Equities, High Yield and International Divisions. Corporate
finance revenues increased due mostly to an increase in advisory fees. Net
interest income was down mostly due to decreased interest income on proprietary
securities positions. Asset management increased due to the Opportunity Funds,
two of which began trading in January 2000. Other income decreased due to
certain one-time investment gains recorded in the third quarter of 1999.

     Total non-interest expenses increased 28% to $137.7 million, compared to
$107.6 million for the third quarter of 1999. Compensation and benefits
increased $25.8 million, or 34%, mostly due to an increase in incentive based
compensation accruals, as well as increased headcount. Other expense increased
$3.4 million or 113%, largely due to reductions to legal and bad debt expense
accruals made in the third quarter of 1999. Occupancy and equipment rental
increased $639,000, or 15%, mostly due to office expansion. Floor brokerage and
clearing fees increased $564,000, or 7%, due to increased volume of business
executed on the various exchanges. Travel and promotional decreased $314,000, or
8%, largely due to a reduction in business travel. Communications were
relatively unchanged from the prior year's period.

     Earnings before income taxes were up 65% to $25.5 million, compared to
$15.5 million for the same prior year period. The effective tax rate was
approximately 42.4% for the third quarter of 2000 compared to 42.9% for the
third quarter of 1999. Earnings from continuing operations were up $5.9 million
to $14.7 million, compared to $8.8 million for the same prior year period.

     Earnings from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, amounted to
zero in the third quarter of 2000, due to the cessation of ITGI as a subsidiary
of the Company in April 1999.

     Basic earnings from continuing operations per share were $0.62 for the
third quarter of 2000 on 23,859,000 shares compared to $0.37 in the 1999 period
on 23,971,000 shares. Diluted earnings from continuing operations per share were
$0.60 for the third quarter of 2000 on 24,402,000 shares compared to $0.36 in
the comparable 1999 period on 24,288,000 shares.

     Basic net earnings per share were $0.62 for the third quarter of 2000 on
23,859,000 shares compared to $0.37 in the 1999 period on 23,971,000 shares.

24,402,000 shares compared to $0.37 in the comparable 1999 period on 24,288,000
shares.

FIRST NINE MONTHS 2000 VERSUS FIRST NINE MONTHS 1999

     Revenues, net of interest expense, increased 18% to $471.3 million,
compared to $399.7 million for the first nine months of 1999. The increase was
due primarily to a $39.9 million, or 24%, increase in principal transactions, a
$15.8 million, or 11%, increase in commissions, a $6.6 million, or 10%, increase
in corporate finance, a $6.3

million, or 46%, increase in net interest income (interest revenues less
interest expense), and a $5.8 million, or 387%, increase in asset management,
partially offset by a $2.8 million, or 47%, decrease in other income.
Commissions and principal transactions revenue increased mostly due to the
Equities and International Divisions. Corporate finance revenues increased due
mostly to an increase in advisory fees. Net interest income was up largely due
to increased interest income on proprietary securities positions. Asset
management increased due to the Opportunity Funds, two of which began trading in
January 2000. Other income decreased due to certain one-time investment gains
recorded in the third quarter of 1999.

$338.7 million for the first nine months of 1999. Compensation and benefits
increased $46.5 million, or 19%, mostly due to an increase in incentive based
compensation accruals, as well as increased headcount. Floor brokerage and
clearing fees increased $3.2 million, or 13%, due to increased volume of
business executed on the various exchanges. Communications increased $2.7
million, or 8%, due mostly to increased trade volume. Occupancy and equipment
rental increased $2.7 million, or 24%, mostly due to office expansion. Other
expense increased $2.5 million, or 17%, primarily due to an increase in legal
expense. Travel and promotional increased $1.9 million, or 16%, primarily due to
higher expenses associated with account executive T&Es and customer events.

     Earnings before income taxes were up 20% to $73.1 million, compared to
$60.9 million for the same prior year period. The effective tax rate was
approximately 42% for the first nine months of both 2000 and 1999. Earnings from
continuing operations were up $6.8 million to $42.1 million, compared to $35.3
million for the same prior year period.

     Earnings from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, amounted to
zero in the first nine months of 2000, due to the cessation of ITGI as a
subsidiary of the Company in April 1999.

     Basic earnings from continuing operations per share were $1.76 for the
