                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of Jefferies Group, Inc. and all subsidiaries, including Jefferies & Company,
Inc. (Jefferies) and Investment Technology Group, Inc. and all of its
subsidiaries (ITGI), including ITGI's wholly-owned subsidiary, ITG Inc. (ITG).
The accounts of W & D Securities, Inc. (W & D) are also consolidated because of
the nature and extent of the Company's ownership interest in W & D. Jefferies
Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries are primarily engaged in securities brokerage
and trading, corporate finance and other financial services. The term "Company"
refers, unless the context requires otherwise, to Jefferies Group, Inc., its
subsidiaries, predecessor entities, and W & D.

         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 period and should be read in conjunction with the
Company's annual report for the year ended December 31, 1996.

SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

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

         Securities owned, debt and equity investments, some partnership
interests and securities sold, not yet purchased are carried at market value,
and unrealized gains and losses relating thereto are reflected in revenues.
Market values are generally based on quoted market prices, when available. Some
partnership interests are recorded at their initial cost and are adjusted when
the market values are supported by quoted market prices, including discounts for
liquidity and other relevant factors. In addition, the carrying values are
reduced when the Company determines that the estimated realizable value is less
than the carrying value based on financial and market information relevant to
the investment. The equity ownerships in affiliates are accounted for under the
cost or the equity method dependent upon percentage ownership and other factors.

COMMON STOCK

         On March 2, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors approved a
two-for-one split of all of the outstanding shares of the Company's common
stock, payable March 29, 1996 to stockholders of record at the close of business
on March 15, 1996. A total of 9,349,668 shares of common stock were issued in
connection with the split. The stated par value of each share was not changed
from $0.01. A total of $94,000 was reclassified from the Company's additional
paid-in capital account to the Company's common stock account. All share and per
share amounts have been restated to retroactively reflect the stock split.

         On March 15, 1996, the Company's common stock began trading on the NYSE
under the symbol JEF. Previously, the common stock traded in the Nasdaq National
Market System under the symbol JEFG.

         In the regular course of its business, Jefferies takes securities
positions as a market-maker to facilitate customer transactions and for
investment purposes. In making markets and when trading for its own account,
Jefferies exposes its own capital to the risk of fluctuations in market value.
Trading profits (or losses) depend primarily upon the skills of the employees
engaged in market-making and position taking, the amount of capital allocated to
positions in securities and the general trend of prices in the securities
markets.

         Jefferies monitors its risk by maintaining its securities positions at
or below certain pre-established levels. These levels reduce certain
opportunities to realize profits in the event that the value of such securities
increases. However, they also reduce the risk of loss in the event of a decrease
in such value and result in controlled interest costs incurred on funds provided
to maintain such positions.

         The Taxable Fixed Income Division trades high grade and non-investment
grade public and private debt securities. The Division specializes in trading
and making markets in over 300 unrated or less than investment grade corporate
debt securities and accounts for these positions at market value. Risk of loss
upon default by the borrower is significantly greater with respect to unrated or
less than investment grade corporate debt securities than with other corporate
debt securities. These securities are generally unsecured and are often
subordinated to other creditors of the issuer. These issuers usually have high
levels of indebtedness and are more sensitive to adverse

economic conditions, such as recession or increasing interest rates, than are
investment grade issuers. There is a limited market for some of these securities

MINORITY INTEREST

         Minority interest represents the minority stockholders' proportionate
share of the equity of ITGI. At March 28, 1997, Jefferies Group, Inc. owned
approximately 82% of ITGI's common stock.

INCOME TAXES

         Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the
difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and
liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the
differences are expected to reverse.

NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

         As registered broker-dealers, Jefferies, ITG 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. Jefferies, ITG 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 March 28, 1997,
Jefferies', ITG's and W&D's net capital was $56.0 million, $34.5 million and
$982,000, respectively, which exceeded minimum net capital requirements by $52.5
million, $34.2 million and $732,000, 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. On March 2, 1996, the Board of Directors approved a
two-for-one stock split and the continuation after the split of the quarterly
dividend rate at $0.05 per share. This effectively doubled the quarterly
dividend rate.

Dividends per Common Share (declared and paid):

OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

         The Company has contractual commitments arising in the ordinary course
of business for securities loaned or purchased under agreements to sell,
securities sold but not yet purchased, future purchases and sales of foreign
currencies, securities transactions on a when-issued basis, options contracts,
futures index contracts, commodities futures and underwriting. Each of these
financial instruments and activities contains varying degrees of off-balance
sheet risk whereby the market values of the securities underlying the financial
instruments may be in excess of, or less than, the contract amount. The
settlement of these transactions is not expected to have a material effect upon
the Company's consolidated financial statements.

         In the normal course of business, the Company had letters of credit
outstanding aggregating $22.9 million at March 28, 1997, to satisfy various
collateral requirements in lieu of depositing cash or securities.

CREDIT RISK

         In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in the
execution, settlement and financing of various customer and principal securities
transactions. Customer activities are transacted on a cash, margin or
delivery-versus-payment basis. Securities transactions are subject to the risk
of counterparty or customer nonperformance. However, transactions are
collateralized by the underlying security, thereby reducing the associated risk
to changes in the market value of the security through settlement date or to the
extent of margin balances.

         The Company seeks to control the risk associated with these
transactions by establishing and monitoring credit limits and by monitoring
collateral and transaction levels daily. The Company may require counterparties
to deposit additional collateral or return collateral pledged. In the case of
aged securities failed to receive, the Company may, under industry regulations,
purchase the underlying securities in the market and seek reimbursement for any
losses from the counterparty.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

         As a major securities firm, the Company's activities are executed
primarily with and on behalf of other financial institutions, including brokers
and dealers, banks and other institutional customers. Concentrations of credit
risk can be affected by changes in economic, industry or geographical factors.
The Company seeks to control its credit risk and the potential risk
concentration through a variety of reporting and control procedures, including
those described in the preceding discussion of credit risk.

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

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

         Total assets increased $649.5 million from $1,568.1 million at December
31, 1996 to $2,217.6 million at March 28, 1997. The increase is mostly due to an
increase in receivable from brokers and dealers related to securities borrowed.
The increase in securities borrowed is related to an increase in securities
loaned (included in payable to brokers and dealers).

FIRST QUARTER 1997 VERSUS FIRST QUARTER 1996

         Revenues, net of interest expense, increased 21% to $141.5 million,
compared to $116.7 million for the first quarter of 1996. The increase was due
primarily to an $11.4 million, or 68%, increase in corporate finance, a $8.6
million, or 14%, increase in commissions, and a $5.5 million, or 16%, increase
in principal transactions. Commission revenues increased, led by ITG and the
Equities Division. Revenues from principal transactions increased primarily due
to increased trading gains in the Taxable Fixed Income Division. Corporate
finance revenues benefited from increased fees from financings. Net interest
income (interest revenues less interest expense) decreased $1.0 million as the
increase in income on securities borrowed was outpaced by the increase in
expense on securities loaned.

         Total non-interest expenses increased 24% to $119.9 million, compared
to $96.4 million for the first quarter of 1996. Compensation and benefits
increased $15.6 million, or 25%, mostly due to higher incentive based
compensation accruals. Floor brokerage and clearing fees increased $2.1 million,
or 33%, due to increased volume of business executed on the various exchanges.
Telecommunications and data processing services increased $2.0 million, or 25%,
primarily due to increased trade volume, personnel, and system upgrades. Other
expense increased $1.8 million, or 16%, largely due to higher soft dollar
expenses. Travel and promotional increased $1.1 million, or 30%, mostly due to
increased business travel related to corporate finance activities. Occupancy and
equipment rental increased $907,000, or 24%, largely due to office space
relocation and expansion in several divisions. Software royalties increased
$160,000, or 7%, due to higher POSIT(R) commission revenues.

         Earnings before income taxes and minority interest were up 6% to $21.6
million, compared to $20.3 million for the same prior year period. The effective
tax rate was approximately 42% for the first quarter of 1997 versus
approximately 43% for the first quarter of 1996.

         Minority interest (approximately 18% of the earnings of ITGI) was $1.2
million for the first quarter of 1997 as compared to $1.0 million in the
comparable 1996 period. The increase in minority interest expense was due to
increased ITGI earnings.

         Primary earnings per share were $1.01 for the first quarter of 1997 on
11,162,000 shares compared to $0.88 in the 1996 period on 12,041,000 shares.
Fully diluted earnings per share were $1.01 for the first quarter of 1997 on
11,167,000 shares compared to $0.88 in the 1996 period on 12,091,000 shares.

         During the first quarter of 1997, the Company repurchased 408,084
shares (including 53,500 shares purchased in connection with the Company's
Capital Accumulation Plan) of its common stock versus 243,758 shares (including
62,112 shares purchased in connection with the Company's Capital Accumulation
Plan) for the comparable 1996 period.

         The Company's principal activities, securities brokerage and the
trading of and market-making in securities, are highly competitive and extremely
volatile. The earnings of the Company are subject to wide fluctuations since
many factors over which the Company has little or no control, particularly the
overall volume of trading and the volatility and general level of market prices,
may significantly affect its operations. The following provides a breakdown of
total revenues by source for the three months ended March 28, 1997 and March 29,
1996.
