                RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                ----------------------------------------------
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
            ------------------------------------------------------
                               December 31, 1999
                               -----------------
Basis of Consolidation

      The  consolidated  financial statements include the accounts  of  Raymond
James  Financial, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (the "Company").   All
material  intercompany  balances  and  transactions  have  been  eliminated  in
consolidation.   These statements reflect all adjustments  which  are,  in  the
opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the
interim  periods  presented.   All  such adjustments  made  are  of  a  normal,
recurring  nature.   The  nature of the Company's business  is  such  that  the
results of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results  for  a
full year.

Commitments and Contingencies

     The Company has committed to lend to, or guarantee other debt for, Raymond
James  Tax Credit Funds, Inc. ("RJTCF") up to $45 million upon request.  RJTCF,
a  wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is a sponsor of limited partnerships
qualifying  for low income housing tax credits.  The borrowings are secured  by
properties  under  development.  The commitment expires in  November  2000,  at
which  time any outstanding balances will be due and payable.  At December  31,
1999, there were loans of $5,412,300 outstanding.

     The Company has guaranteed lines of credit for their various foreign joint
ventures as follows:  2 lines of credit totaling $6 million in Turkey, 2  lines
of  credit not to exceed $8 million in Argentina, $5 million line of credit and
a $325,000 letter of credit in India.

      The Company is a defendant or co-defendant in various lawsuits incidental
to its securities business.  The Company is contesting the allegations in these
cases  and  believes  that  there are meritorious defenses  in  each  of  these
lawsuits.   In view of the number and diversity of claims against the  Company,
the  number  of jurisdictions in which litigation is pending and  the  inherent
difficulty  of  predicting  the outcome of litigation  and  other  claims,  the
Company  cannot  state  with  certainty what the eventual  outcome  of  pending
litigation  or  other claims will be.  In the opinion of management,  based  on
discussions  with counsel, the outcome of these matters will not  result  in  a
material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations.

      The Securities and Exchange Commission, the Internal Revenue Service  and
the  National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. continue their review  of
investment  banking practices in connection with advance refunding transactions
for  municipalities.  Along with other participants, the Company  continues  to
cooperate  in  this investigation and does not anticipate that  the  resolution
will have a material effect on its business or operations.

Capital Transactions

      The  Company's  Board  of  Directors has,  from  time  to  time,  adopted
resolutions  authorizing the Company to repurchase its  common  stock  for  the
funding  of  its  incentive  stock option and stock purchase  plans  and  other
corporate   purposes.    In   May  1999,  the  Board   increased   management's
authorization  to  2,500,000 shares, of which 1,040,375 remained  available  to
purchase as of December 31, 1999.

      At  their  meeting on November 19, 1999, the Board of  Directors  of  the
Company increased the quarterly cash dividend to $.075 per share.




Net Capital Requirements

      The  broker-dealer  subsidiaries  of  the  Company  are  subject  to  the
requirements of Rule 15c3-under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  This rule
requires  that  aggregate indebtedness, as defined, shall  not  exceed  fifteen
times  net  capital, as defined.  Rule 15c3-1 also provides for an "alternative
net  capital requirement" which, if elected, requires that net capital be equal
to  the greater of $250,000 or two percent of aggregate debit items computed in
applying  the formula for determination of reserve requirements. The  New  York
Stock Exchange may require a member organization to reduce its business if  its
net capital is less than four percent of aggregate debit items and may prohibit
a  member firm from expanding its business and declaring cash dividends if  its
net  capital  is  less  than five percent of aggregate debit  items.   The  net
capital position of the Company's clearing broker-dealer subsidiary at December
31, 1999 was as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

        Raymond James & Associates, Inc.:
        ---------------------------------
        (alternative method elected)
         Net capital as a percent of aggregate debit items    15.14%
         Net capital                                        $254,653
         Required net capital                                $33,638

     All other broker-dealer subsidiaries were in compliance during the periods
     presented.

                MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

(Any  statements  containing  forward looking information  should  be  read  in
conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of  Operations
and  Financial Condition in the Company's Annual Report on Form  10-K  for  the
year ended September 24, 1999).

Results of Operations - Three months ended December 31, 1999 compared with three
- ---------------------   months ended December 24, 1998.
                        -------------------------------

      Record  quarterly  revenues of $383,926,000 exceeded  the  December  1998
quarter's  $264,507,000 by 45%.  Net income of $26,816,000 also  represented  a
quarterly  record and a 53% increase over the $17,479,000 in  the  prior  year.
Net  income per share of $.56 was a larger increase than that of net income due
to  the  impact  of  fewer  shares outstanding as a  result  of  the  Company's
purchases of treasury shares.

      On May 28, 1999 the Company purchased Roney & Co. ("Roney").  Immediately
subsequent  to fiscal year end 1999, Roney was contributed to and  merged  into
RJA.  Prior year results do not include Roney.

     Continued active equity markets led to record quarterly transaction volume
and  resultant  commission revenues, with the latter increasing 49%  over  last
year's  quarter. A 12% increase in the number of Financial Advisors  (excluding
the  addition  of  320 brokers from the Roney acquisition) was complemented  by
increased  productivity and favorable market conditions to produce the  overall
increase.

      Although  underwriting  activity was improved  from  the  extremely  poor
comparable prior year quarter, it is still far below the levels experienced  in
fiscal  1997 and 1998.  The Company managed or co-managed 5 deals raising  $266
million  in the quarter ended December 1999 vs. 2 deals raising $71 million  in
the  quarter  ended December 1998.  Merger & acquisition fees were  essentially
flat with the prior year.

     Financial assets under management and the related investment advisory fees
continued their steady growth, as fees increased 24% over the prior year.

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

      Net interest income of $27 million established a quarterly record and was
56%  higher than the comparable prior year quarter.  A near doubling of  margin
loan  balances,  including  $215  million in margin  balances  from  the  Roney
acquisition, and continued growth in customer deposits continue to account  for
most  of the increase.  Net interest income was also favorably impacted by  the
merger  of  Roney into RJA, allowing the Roney margin balances to  be  financed
internally with customer cash balances rather than bank borrowings.

      Financial service fees continue to increase with the growth in the number
of  accounts which generate administrative or transaction fees for the  Company
such  as  IRA  annual  account fees, transaction fees in  Passport  (wrap  fee)
accounts, and money market distribution fees.

      Other  revenues  include  increased postage & handling  fees  related  to
transaction volume.

      The largest portion of the increase in employee compensation continues to
be  in  Financial Advisor compensation, a direct result of increased securities
commissions.   In  addition,  administrative  and  clerical  compensation   has
increased  due  to  an  increased number of support  and  backoffice  staff  to
accommodate  growth, including the establishment of a second operations  center
at Roney's former headquarters in Detroit.

     The increase in communications and information processing is the aggregate
result  of several factors arising from the Company's general growth, including
increased  telephone,  higher  postage,  increased  cost  of  market  quotation
services, and computer maintenance.

      Occupancy  and equipment costs reflect the addition of the  Roney  branch
offices, the expansion of several other branch offices and the establishment of
a second operations center in Detroit.

     Increased business development expenses include additional advertising for
brand  recognition and recruiting purposes, travel expenses, and various  costs
associated with general overall growth.

      The  increase  in other expenses is primarily attributable  to  increased
legal expenses, settlements and accruals.

Financial Condition
- -------------------

      The  Company's  total assets have increased 14% since  fiscal  year  end,
reaching  $5.75  billion.  The  rise is due to the  increase  in  stock  borrow
balances,  increased  customer margin loan and cash  balances.   Customer  cash
balances  are reflected as a client payable. Customer margin loan balances  are
included in client receivables.

      In  addition  to  the  $39 million mortgage on the corporate  headquarter
complex,  loans  payable at December 31, 1999 include $50  million  to  finance
customer  borrowing  in a finance subsidiary and a $50 million  parent  company
term loan.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

      Net  cash  provided  by operating activities for  the  three  months  was
$399,169,000.   The  primary source was the aforementioned  increased  customer
cash balances net of increased customer margin loans.

      Investing and financing activities used a net additional $88,764,000 over
the  past  three  months.   The use of cash was the  repayment  of  short  term
borrowings from banks under existing credit lines and the purchases of treasury
stock.   The portion of the short term borrowings used to finance the  purchase
of Roney was replaced by a three-year term loan.

      The  Company has a term loan and two lines of credit.  The parent company
has  a $50 million three-year term loan and a committed, unsecured $100 million
line  for  general  corporate  purposes.  In  addition,  Raymond  James  Credit
Corporation,  a  finance  subsidiary which  provides  loans  collateralized  by
restricted  or  control shares of public companies, has a $50 million  line  of
credit.   Raymond  James  &  Associates, Inc., the company's  clearing  broker-
dealer,  also  maintains uncommitted lines of credit aggregating  $480  million
with commercial banks ($235,000,000 secured and $245,000,000 unsecured).

      The  Company's broker-dealer subsidiaries are subject to requirements  of
the  Securities  and  Exchange Commission relating  to  liquidity  and  capital
standards (see Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

Year 2000
- ---------

      The  widespread  use  of computer programs that rely  on  two-digit  date
programs  to  perform  computations  and decision-making  functions  may  cause
computer  systems  to  malfunction in the Year 2000  and  lead  to  significant
business delays and disruptions in the U.S. and internationally.

      The  Company  successfully completed all preparations for transition  and
experienced  no  material  problems during the first two  weeks  of  securities
trading in 2000. Minor issues that were identified were quickly resolved.  This
was consistent with the general experience of the securities industry.

      Although  there are additional dates in 2000 that could  be  affected  by
these  issues, the Company does not believe that it will experience  any  major
disruptions to its business activities.

Effects of Inflation
- --------------------

      The  Company's  assets  are  primarily  liquid  in  nature  and  are  not
significantly affected by inflation.  Management believes that the  changes  in
replacement  cost  of  property  and  equipment  would  not  materially  affect
operating  results.   However,  the  rate of inflation  affects  the  Company's
expenses, including employee compensation, communications and occupancy,  which
may  not  be readily recoverable through charges for services provided  by  the
Company.
