             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 three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 are
      not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year
      ending December 31, 1999.

      The consolidated statement of financial condition as of September 30, 1999
      and other financial information for the three and nine months ended
      September 30, 1999 and 1998 are unaudited, but management 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.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Quarterly and nine-month operating revenues improved compared to last year due
to increased retail sales force productivity, continued strong fixed income
underwriting activity and continued market interest in smaller market
capitalization companies in which the Company makes a market. Higher volume
partially offset by lower clearing costs contributed to increased operating
expenses compared to last year's third quarter.

A net investment portfolio loss of $90 thousand for the quarter compares to a
net loss of $1,545 thousand in the prior year's third quarter. A year-to-date
net investment portfolio gain of $782 thousand compares to a net loss of $782
thousand for the same period last year. The Company's investment account gains
and losses may fluctuate significantly from period to period as they have in the
past.

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 third quarter due to
increased transaction levels, improved investment executive productivity and
continued high levels of retail investor interest. Products that recorded
significant revenue increases included OTC principal, OTC agency, municipals,
unit trusts, cash management and interest income. This strong third quarter
activity contributed to an overall 11.6% increase in revenues for the nine month
period.

The operating profit of Retail Sales in the current quarter was $1.3 million,
compared to $675 thousand for the prior year quarter and $3.7 million for the
current nine month period compared to $1.7 million for the same nine month
period last year. The improvement was due to the revenue increase, the closing
of unprofitable offices and implementation of operating efficiencies.

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.

Increased Equity Capital Markets revenue for the current quarter compared to the
same quarter last year resulted from higher trading volumes, continued investor
interest in the small-cap equity market in which the Company specializes, and
increased investment banking activity. The Company completed two public
financings in the current quarter, compared to one private placement in the
third quarter of 1998. Increased trading volumes and the third quarter public
financings also contributed to nine month revenue increases over the prior
year's nine month period. The timing of investment banking activity can vary
significantly from period to period based on market conditions and other factors
contributing to fluctuations in revenues and operating profits.

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 decreased by $400 thousand for the quarter, and
increased by $586 for the nine month period versus the same periods in the prior
year. Origination activity decreased significantly in the third quarter of 1999
from the third quarter of 1998. The nine month increase over last year is due to
record second quarter 1999 activity, which included the Company's largest ever
public finance transaction. Other revenue changes included an increase in
municipal bond sales.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

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

The Company has continued to benefit, overall, from improved operating
efficiencies. However, increased professional services expenditures contributed
to higher Corporate operating losses in the current three and nine month periods
compared to the same periods in the prior year.

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 $1.8 million at
September 30, 1999, are stated at fair value, which is determined by
management's best estimate.

Between December 31, 1998 and September 30, 1999, trading securities decreased
$1.7 million, and securities sold but not yet purchased increased by $9
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 September 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 nine months of 1999, the Company repurchased 605,000 shares of
its common stock at a total cost of $2.8 million. For the full year of 1998, a
total of 566,000 shares were repurchased at a cost of $3.1 million. To date, the
Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to 2.6 million shares of
the Company's common stock, of which a total of 2,224,000 shares have been
repurchased as of September 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 were expensed during the third quarter.
Additional costs of $317,000 were also 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 the Chief Executive
Officer and Chairman of the Board. The managing executive is the 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.

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
had a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements, and
all such costs have been funded with 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 completed point-to-point
testing of both its mission critical and non-mission critical systems. No
material system deficiencies have resulted from tests conducted as of the
reporting date.

                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


YEAR 2000 ISSUE (CONTINUED)

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.

The Company has developed a written contingency plan to provide for continuity
under various scenarios. The contingency plan will continue to be monitored,
updated and modified during the remaining months of 1999 as the Company
completes its plan to address the Year 2000 issue. The Company also continues to
monitor and respond to Year 2000 related updates and recommendations from its
vendors and other third parties.

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 September 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.
