                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

              The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Kinnard
              Investments, Inc., (the "Company") have been prepared in
              conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and
              should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual report for
              the year ended December 31, 1998. The results of operations for
              the six months ended June 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative
              of the results to be expected for the year ended December 31,
              1999.

              The consolidated statement of financial condition as of June 30,
              1999 and other financial information for the six months ended June
              30, 1999 and 1998 are unaudited, but management of the Company
              believes that all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
              adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the results of
              operations for the periods have been included.


NOTE 2.       COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

              John G. Kinnard is a defendant in various actions relating to it
              business, some of which involve claims for unspecified amounts.
              Although the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with
              certainty, management believes that while their outcome may have a
              material effect on the earnings in a particular period, the
              outcome will not have a material adverse effect on the financial
              condition of the Company.


NOTE 3.       SEGMENTS

              The Company's reportable segments are: retail sales, equity
              capital markets, fixed income and other. The retail segment
              consists of various retail branch locations and the financial
              services division. Equity capital markets consists of equity
              trading, institutional sales, research and investment banking.
              Fixed income includes the origination, trading and institutional
              sales of fixed income securities. Other consists of general
              corporate and administrative support functions. The Company does
              not provide balance sheet data for segment reporting as this data

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The improved quarterly data compared to the same quarter last year reflected
stronger investor interest in the overall market as well as interest in the
smaller market capitalization companies that the Company follows. Also
contributing to the improvement was a record quarter in the Company's fixed
income business as well as retail efforts. This continued investor interest
based on a stronger overall market contributed to the positive results for the
current six month period compared to the same period last year.

RETAIL SALES. The Retail Sales business segment consists of various branch
locations and the financial services division. Revenue is generated primarily on
commissions generated by the sale of financial products and services to
individual investors.

The improvement in retail revenues continued during the second quarter due to
increased transaction levels and improved investment executive productivity. The
major investment indices continued in an upward fashion which continued to fuel
retail investor interest. Products that recorded significant revenue increases
included OTC agency, listed equity securities, options, unit trusts, cash
management and interest income. This activity during the second quarter
strengthened contributed to the overall 7.5% increase in revenues for the six
month period.

The operating profit of Retail Sales in the current quarter was $1.3
million,compared to $842 thousand for the prior year quarter and $2.5 million
for the current six month period compared to $1.0 million for the same six month
period last year. The improvement was due to the revenue increase, the closing
of unprofitable offices, implementation of operating efficiencies, and a
reduction in clearing charges. As a result of converting its clearing business
to NationsBank Montgomery Securities in June 1998, the Company continues to
benefit from lower transaction fees to process most trades.

EQUITY CAPITAL MARKETS. Equity Capital Markets consists of equity trading,
institutional sales, research and investment banking. Investment banking
includes the fees earned on public equity underwritings, private placements and
merger and acquisition transactions.

The increase in Equity Capital Markets revenue for the current quarter compared
to the same quarter last year was the result of higher trading volumes and
renewed investor interest in the small-cap equity market in which the Company
specializes. Yet the current six month period trails the comparable six month
period primarily due to reduced investment banking activity. Equity investment
banking was off from last year which had the firm's largest underwriting during
the second quarter of 1998 added to two underwritings in the first quarter of
1998 versus no underwritings during the first half of 1999. The timing of
investment banking activity can vary significantly from period to period based
on market conditions and other factors. The decline in equity investment banking
activity along with thinner trading spreads contributed to the decline in
operating income for both the comparable quarter and six month results.

FIXED INCOME. Fixed income includes the origination, trading and institutional
sale of fixed income securities. The Fixed Income group results are driven
largely by activity of the originations department which raises capital for
municipal and corporate clients located primarily in the Upper Midwest.

Fixed Income operating revenues increased by $1.0 million for both the quarter
and six month period versus the same periods in the prior year. Origination
activity increased significantly from the prior year as the Company completed
its largest ever public finance transaction in the current quarter. This
activity contributed to the increase of $400 thousand for the current quarter
and six month period compared to the same periods last year. Other revenue
changes included increases in cash management and municipal bond sales.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

CORPORATE. Corporate consists of various administrative functions required to
support the revenue generating business units such as Accounting, Human
Resources and Marketing.

The operating loss in the Corporate area continued to lessen versus the same
periods last year as the Company has continued to benefit from implemented
efficiencies that enable a reduction of corporate expenses. The Company
converted to a new clearing firm during the second quarter of 1998 which
incurred additional expenses leading to a more positive comparison to the second
quarter and six month results of 1999.

The net gain on the investment account of $200 thousand in the current quarter
compares to a net loss of $203 thousand in the prior year. The net gain for the
current six month period was $872 thousand compared to $764 thousand for the
same period last year. The Company's investment account has historically been a
volatile source of income, and may change significantly from period to period.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

OPERATING ACTIVITIES

A large portion of the Company's assets are cash and assets readily convertible
to cash. The liquid portions of the Company's trading and investment securities
are stated at quoted market values and are readily marketable. The less liquid
portions of trading and investment securities, which totaled $625 thousand at
June 30, 1999, are stated at fair value, which is determined by management's
best estimate.

Between December 31, 1998 and June 30, 1999, trading securities increased $3.0
million, and securities sold but not yet purchased increased by $548 thousand.
Both long and short inventories are generally maintained to facilitate customer
transactions rather than for market speculation.

Based on the Company's current liquidity positions, available bank lines and
operating plans, it is anticipated that the Company has sufficient resources to
meet the cash requirements of its operations in the foreseeable future.


INVESTING ACTIVITIES

The Company's investment account is invested in fixed income securities,
publicly traded equity securities and privately placed equity securities. Equity
securities are frequently held as a result of past investment banking activities
performed by the Company. In addition, the Company may utilize outside advisors
to manage a portion of the investment portfolio.

The value of certain securities held in the investment account can fluctuate
significantly, with the resulting valuation changes being reported as net gains
or losses on the investment account. These fluctuations in value can have a
material impact on reported earnings.


FINANCING ACTIVITIES

John G. Kinnard maintains a credit facility in order to meet short-term
operating needs. At December 31, 1998 and June 30, 1999 there were no
outstanding balances under this facility.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


FINANCING ACTIVITIES (CONTINUED)

During the first six months of 1999, the Company repurchased 460,000 shares of
its common stock at a total cost of $2.2 million. For the full year of 1998, a
total of 566,000 shares were repurchased at a cost of $3.1 million. The Board of
Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to 1.6 million shares of the
Company's common stock, of which a total of 737,000 shares have been repurchased
as of June 30, 1999.

The company announced on August 6, 1999 that it had notified MI Acquisition
Corporation of the exercise of its right to terminate the Merger Agreement
between the two companies. Capitalized costs of $68,000 recorded as of June 30,
1999 in contemplation of the merger will be expensed during the third quarter.
Additional estimated costs of approximately $300,000 will be expensed during the
third quarter.

YEAR 2000 ISSUE

Year 2000 readiness presents corporate-wide challenges for all companies. The
Company recognizes the importance of the Year 2000 issues and its impact on
information technology and non-information technology systems. As a result, the
Company is actively managing efforts to plan, allocate resources, and monitor
progress to achieve Year 2000 readiness.

The executive sponsor for the Company's Year 2000 project is JGK's Chief
Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. The managing executive is JGK's
Senior Vice President of Corporate Development. Reporting to the managing
executive is the Year 2000 Committee, which is lead by the Director of the
MIS/Communications department and includes managers from most major functional
areas of the Company. This group is responsible for managing critical success
factors, implementation of action plans, and reporting progress to executive
management.

The Company believes that is has adequate staffing and human resources to
complete its Year 2000 plan. Although retention has not been an issue, the
Company does rely on certain key individuals who may be difficult to replace in
timely fashion if they were to leave.

The Company has defined mission critical systems as those systems whose loss
would cause an immediate stoppage or significant impairment to core business
areas. Systems identified as mission critical include back office data, quote
delivery, trading, communication and accounting systems. In addition, the
Company clears its trades through a third-party clearing firm upon whose systems
it is reliant.

The majority of internal systems with a Year 2000 problem were addressed in
calendar year 1998. The Company's capital budget does not specifically identify
expenditures related to the Year 2000, although many items in the capital budget
relate to upgrading or replacing application that are not Year 2000 compliant.
During 1998, the Company spent $1.5 million for capital equipment (which
includes software purchases) versus $1.1 million in 1997. The cost to remediate
the small number of systems that are not currently Year 2000 compliant has not
been determined, although the Company does not expect such costs to have a
material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements, and expects
to fund such costs from working capital.

As a member of the Securities Industry Association, the Company is updated on
the progress of industry-wide testing, and was a direct participant in the
industry tests conducted in early 1999. The Company has been conducting
point-to-point testing of both its mission critical and non-mission critical
systems, and expects to complete this process by September 30, 1999. No material
system deficiencies have resulted from tests conducted as of the reporting date.

Because the Company operates as a fully-disclosed broker-dealer, a large portion
of its information systems are provided by third parties. If these outside
information providers, which include securities exchanges, clearing agencies and
other financial institutions, should experience a significant disruption as a
result of the Year 2000 problem, such disruption could affect the Company's
ability to conduct business and may have a material adverse effect on the
Company's results of operations.

YEAR 2000 ISSUE (CONTINUED)

The Company has developed a written contingency plan to provide for continuity
under various scenarios. The contingency plan will be updated and modified
during 1999 as the Company makes additional progress in addressing the Year 2000
issue.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

The Company wishes to caution investors of the following factors which could
affect the Company's results of operations and cause such results to differ
materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements made in this
document or elsewhere on behalf of the Company: volatility in the securities
markets, risks in the ownership and underwriting of securities, consolidation in
the financial services industries, volatility in earnings and losses of
investment securities, competition, government regulation, customer litigation
and arbitration, and off-balance-sheet credit and market risks. For a more
complete discussion of these and other factors, see the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.

           QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

MARKET RISK

The primary market risk exposure of the Company is the impact that market and
interest rate volatility may have on the value of financial securities and
underwriting commitments. The Company manages this risk exposure through a
process of internal controls, due diligence and management review. Position
limits for trading and inventory controls are established and monitored on an
ongoing basis. The trading inventory is turned over frequently throughout the
year. Securities held in the investment portfolio are guided by an investment
policy and are reviewed on a regular basis. Current and proposed underwriting
and other banking commitments are subject to due diligence reviews by the
appropriate business unit as well as by senior management.

The Company has evaluated its financial securities and underwriting commitments
at June 30, 1999 and assessed the related market risk. This inventory is turned
over frequently through the year. Based on this evaluation, in the opinion of
management, the market risk associated with the Company's financial securities
may have a material effect on the earnings in a particular period, but will not
have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company.

                            99     Press release dated August 6, 1999 announcing
                                   exercise of right to terminate Merger

                     (b)  REPORTS ON FORM 8-K

                            Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 4, 1999.

                     (c)  EARNINGS PER SHARE


                         Basic earnings per share are based upon the weighted
                         average number of common shares outstanding during the
                         reporting period. Diluted earnings per share take into
                         account the dilutive effect, if any, of stock options
                         and other potential dilutive common shares outstanding
                         during the period.

                         The following reconciliation illustrates the
                         computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

equity activities."
