                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


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 on
              Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. The results of
              operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2000
              are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
              the year ending December 31, 2000.

              The consolidated statement of financial condition as of June 30,
              2000 and other financial information for the three and six month
              periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, 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.      BINDING ARBITRATION AWARD

              On December 10, 1999, the National Association of Securities
              Dealers ("NASD") issued a binding arbitration award for $16.6
              million in favor of the Company and against Dain Rauscher
              Corporation ("Dain") and several of its investment executives who
              were wrongfully recruited by Dain from the Company from 1997 to
              1999.

              NASD arbitration awards are not subject to appeal. While Dain has
              filed a motion with the Hennepin County District Court (the
              "Court") to vacate the arbitration panel's decision, the Company
              believes that vacature is unlikely due to the narrow grounds upon
              which a binding arbitration award may be vacated. Under both
              Federal and Minnesota Arbitration Acts, the Court must find
              evidence of fraud, corruption, misconduct or partiality on the
              part of the arbitration panel, or that the panel exceeded its
              powers in rendering its award decision.

              The award included compensatory damages of $9.1 million, punitive
              damages of $7.1 million and reimbursement of legal costs of $350
              thousand. Under NASD Rules, Dain is required to pay interest on
              the unpaid settlement amount based on a statutory interest rate of
              5.5%. Upon exhaustion of all vacature efforts, the Company
              anticipates recognizing up to $16.6 million in revenue from the
              settlement, plus interest income during the period that the
              settlement remains unpaid. Recognition of such revenue may result
              in additional compensation and income tax expense.

NOTE  2.      BINDING ARBITRATION AWARD (CONTINUED)

              The following unaudited pro forma information has been prepared
              assuming that the binding arbitration settlement and related
              accrued interest had been recognized at the end of the period
              presented after the impact of certain adjustments to revenue,
              employee compensation based on current formulas and the related
              income tax effects thereof.

NOTE 3.       OTHER COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

              John G. Kinnard and Company, Incorporated ("John G. Kinnard") is a
              defendant in various actions relating to its 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 5.       PENDING ACQUISITION

              On June 5, 2000, the Company entered into a definitive merger
              agreement with Stockwalk.com Group, Inc. (Stockwalk) and SW
              Acquisition, Inc., a subsidiary of Stockwalk, whereby the
              Company's securities brokerage and investment banking firms will
              be combined under the Stockwalk holding company.

              Under the terms of the merger agreement, the Company's
              shareholders will receive $6.00 in cash and a fraction of a share
              of Stockwalk common stock in exchange for each share of the
              Company's common stock that they own. The number of shares of
              Stockwalk common stock to be received will be determined based
              upon the average closing price of Stockwalk common stock for the
              20 trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the
              date on which all of the conditions in the merger agreement have
              been satisfied.

              If the average closing price of Stockwalk common stock during the
              measurement period is between $9.00 and $15.00 per share, the
              Company's shareholders will receive one-half of a share of
              Stockwalk common stock together with $6.00 in cash for each share
              of the Company's common stock that they own. If the average
              closing price of Stockwalk common stock during the measurement
              period is above $15.00 per share, the Company's shareholders will
              receive a fraction of a share of Stockwalk common stock with a
              nominal value equal to $7.50, together with $6.00 in cash, for
              each share of the Company's common stock that they own. If the
              average closing price of Stockwalk common stock during the
              measurement period is less than $9.00 per share, the Company's
              shareholders will receive a fraction of a share of Stockwalk
              common stock with a nominal value equal to $4.50, together with
              $6.00 in cash, for each share of the Company's common stock that
              they own.

              The merger is subject to regulatory and shareholder approval, and
              is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2000. The
              meeting of the Company's shareholders to approve the merger
              transaction has been scheduled for September 5, 2000.

================================= ================ ================= ================= ================

</TABLE>

Quarterly and six-month operating revenues improved compared to last year due to
increased retail sales force productivity and increased corporate finance
transactions. A portion of the increase was offset by a decline in fixed income
origination activity and losses in the investment account. Increased
compensation expenses based on year-to-date profitability as well as investment
portfolio losses and merger-related expenses contributed to a decrease in net
income in the second quarter of 2000 compared to the second quarter of 1999.

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.


                                       11
<PAGE>

The $1.3 million or 17.6% increase in retail revenues over the second quarter of
1999 and the $5.6 million or 40.1% increase over the six months ended June 30,
1999 were a result of increased transaction levels and improved investment
executive productivity. Revenues from OTC principal and agency equity
transactions and options, as well as revenues from corporate finance offerings
increased significantly over the same period of the prior year. In addition,
managed account fees increased over 50% compared to the first six months of last
year as total assets in the managed account program continue to grow.

The operating profit of Retail Sales in the six months ended June 30, 2000 was
$3.9 million, an increase of $1.4 million or 58.7% over the first six months of
1999. The improvement in profits was commensurate with the increase in revenues.
Operating leverage on fixed costs within retail increased as salaries and
benefits expenses were flat versus the prior year, while certain fixed costs
were reduced as a result of closing unprofitable branch offices.

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 was the result of a $1.6 million
or 98% increase in trading revenue from $1.7 million in the first six months of
1999 to $3.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2000. Investment banking
revenues increased substantially as the Company generated $321,000 in revenue
from the E-Funds public offering in the second quarter of 2000, and generated
additional revenue from several private placement offerings completed during the
second quarter of 2000. There were no significant investment banking
transactions in the first six months of 1999. The timing and magnitude of
investment banking activity can vary significantly from period to period based
on market conditions and investor appetite for new equity offerings.

Equity Capital Markets group operating income of $1,296,000 in the first six
months of 2000 compares to an operating loss of $480,000 in the first six months
of 1999. The increase is primarily the result of higher trading and investment
banking revenues offset by commission expense and other variable compensation
expense. Salaries expense for the group declined significantly from the first
six months of 1999 as a more focused strategy for corporate finance and research
was implemented in the first six months of 2000.

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

Fixed Income revenues decreased by $804,000 or 20.7% from the first six months
of 1999. Fixed income origination revenue decreased $448,000 from the first six
months of 1999 as a result of a decrease in the number and size of bond
originations. Revenues for the institutional sales and trading of other fixed
income securities were down reflecting the continued trend of low volume for
originations and sales activities which started in the fourth quarter of 1999.
Fixed income operating income decreased $413,000 from the first six months of
1999 reflecting the lower revenues for both originations and trading partially
offset by lower incentive compensation and occupancy costs.

CORPORATE. Corporate consists of the Company's investment portfolio and various
administrative functions including Accounting, Human Resources and Marketing,
which are required to support revenue generating business units.

The operating loss in Corporate increased by $1.0 million or 60.4% as a result
of losses on the investment account during the first six months of 2000. The net
loss on the investment account of $591,000 in the six month period ended June
30, 2000 compares to a net gain of $872,000 in the first six months of 1999. The
Company's investment account has historically been a volatile source of income,
and may change significantly from period to period. A portion of the losses
versus the comparable period of 1999 were offset by operating cost savings of
$700,000 from the first six months of 1999. Incentive compensation and benefits
costs based on Company profitability increased for the six months ended June 30,
2000 versus the same period last year commensurate with increases in corporate
profitability over the same 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



                                       12
<PAGE>

OPERATING ACTIVITIES (CONTINUED)
portions of trading and investment securities, which totaled $1,144,000 at June
30, 2000, are stated at fair value, which is determined by management consistent
with prior pricing practices.

Between December 31, 1999 and June 30, 2000 trading securities decreased $3.6
million and securities sold but not yet purchased decreased by $330,000. 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 line 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, including warrants and private placement securities, are frequently
held as a form of compensation for past investment banking services performed by
the Company. The Company may utilize outside advisors to manage a portion of the
investment portfolio consistent with the Company's investment policy.

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

FINANCING ACTIVITIES
John G. Kinnard maintains two discretionary credit facilities in order to meet
short-term operating needs totaling $10 million. At December 31, 1999 and June
30, 2000 there were no outstanding balances under these facilities.

During the first six months of 2000, the Company repurchased no shares of its
common stock. For the full year of 1999, a total of 760,000 shares were
repurchased at a cost of $3.6 million. Remaining shares authorized by the Board
of Directors for repurchase at June 30, 2000 are 1,231,491.

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 elsewhere by or on behalf of the Company: volatility in the securities
markets, risks in the ownership and underwriting of securities, consolidation in
the financial services industry, 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, 1999.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT 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, 2000 and assessed the related market risk. This inventory is turned
over frequently throughout 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.
