                The Quick & Reilly Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                 (Unaudited)

    1. Basis of Presentation

         The accompanying interim financial statements reflect all
    adjustments which are, of a normal recurring nature, and, in the
    opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the
    interim periods presented. Certain intra-company interest transactions
    for the three months ended May 26, 1995 were presented on a gross
    basis; they have been restated to a net basis to conform with the
    current year's presentation. For the three months ended May 26, 1995,
    stock borrow and stock loan transactions with the same counterparties
    were netted. To conform with the current year's presentation, these
    transactions have been restated to a gross basis. It is recommended
    that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the
    Company's Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the 1996
    Annual Report which is incorporated by reference on Form 10-K.



    2. Commitments and Contingencies

         Margin requirements of approximately $80,079,000 with a clearing
    corporation at May 31, 1996 have been satisfied by obtaining letters
    of credit of $79,300,000 secured by customers' margin account
    securities. On June 3, 1996, a letter of credit was increased by
    $5,000,000.

         In the ordinary course of their securities business, certain of
    the Company's subsidiaries have been named defendants in a number of
    lawsuits. In the opinion of management, based upon discussion with
    counsel, the resolutions of such lawsuits will not in the aggregate
    have a  material adverse effect on the consolidated financial
    condition of the Company or on its results of operations.

    3. Shareholders' Equity and Earnings Per Share

         On September 13, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors approved
    a three-for-two stock split, effected in the form of a 50% stock
    dividend, on the Company's Common Stock. The split became effective on
    October 18, 1995, for shareholders of record as of September 27, 1995.

         Earnings per share and dividends per share prior to September 13,
    1995 have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to these
    transactions.  Earnings per share have been calculated by dividing net
    income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding as
    adjusted for the fiscal quarters.


    4. Income Taxes

         For the three months ended May 31, 1996 and May 26, 1995
    respectively, the effective income tax rate differs from the expected
    federal statutory rate applied to income before income taxes primarily
    due to state and local taxes.

    5. Net Capital Requirements

         As registered broker-dealers and member firms of the New York
    Stock Exchange, Inc. (the "NYSE"), three subsidiaries are subject to
    certain rules of both the Securities and Exchange Commission and the
    NYSE. These rules require registrants to maintain minimum levels of
    net capital, as defined, and may restrict a member from expanding its
    business and declaring dividends as its net capital approaches
    specified levels. At May 31, 1996, the subsidiaries had net capital,
    in the aggregate, of $201,130,000 which exceeded aggregate minimum net
    capital requirements by $146,056,000.

    6. Dividends Declared

         On March 15, 1996, the Board of Directors declared a cash
    dividend of $0.07 per share payable on July 1, 1996 to holders of
    record on June 3, 1996.

    quarter ended May 31, 1996 versus the quarter ended May

    Income decreased $1,168,000 or 3%, due to decreased stock

    Expense decreased $2,733,000 or 8% primarily due to a decrease in

    favorable market conditions and the acquisition of MMS&N
    & Co. by the JJC Specialist unit in October, 1995.  Other

    increased fee income.

    increase in the number of employees and increases in

    increased number of trades processed by U.S. Clearing
    Corp. Data Processing and Equipment Rental increased
    $4,666,000 or 91% due to costs associated with improving and
    expanding various information systems and the increased volume.

    establishment of the Easy Trade and Twenty four hour brokerage
    operations at Quick & Reilly, Inc. and the increased volume.
    Printing, Postage, Stationery and Office Supplies increased
    $268,000 or 15% primarily due to the increase in trading volume
    and the increase in postal rates. Rent and Other Occupancy
    increased $472,000 or 28% primarily due to the expansion
    of the branch network in Quick & Reilly, Inc. and the
    expansion of JJC Specialist Corp.'s office and operational space.
    Professional Services increased $904,000 or 136% primarily due to
    the consulting costs associated with improving and expanding the
    accounting systems, data bases and information systems of the
    three primary subsidiaries. Amortization of Intangible Assets
    increased $648,000 or 131% due the acquisitions of broker-dealers
    after the first quarter ended May 26, 1995.  Other Expenses
    increased $1,777,000 or 50% primarily due to the increased volume,
    expansion of the Quick & Reilly branch network and normal
    increases in operating costs.
