NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Three Months Ended December 31, 1993


1.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and should be read in
conjunction with the Registrant's Annual Report for the year ended
September 30, 1993.  The results of operations for the three months ended
December 31, 1993, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the year ending September 30, 1994.

The consolidated statement of financial condition as of December 31, 1993 and
the other consolidated financial information for the three months ended
December 31, 1993 and 1992, is unaudited, but management of the Registrant
believes that all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals)
necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the periods
have been included.

Net income per common and common equivalent share is calculated by dividing
net income by the weighted average number of common shares and common share
equivalents outstanding, which includes the dilutive effect of all outstanding
stock options.  Prior to the quarter ended March 31, 1993, the dilutive effect
of common share equivalents was not material.

All share and per share amounts have been restated to reflect the two-for-one
stock split declared November 9, 1993.


2.NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

(In thousands)

At December 31, 1993, the broker-dealer subsidiary's net capital under
applicable regulations was $73,049 or 20% of aggregate debit balances and
$65,689 in excess of the minimum required net capital.


3.INCOME TAXES

(In thousands)

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes, effective October 1, 1993.  Implementation
resulted in no material effect on shareholders' equity or results of operations
for the three months ended December 31, 1993.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes using enacted tax rates
in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse.  The
tax effects of significant items comprising the Company's net deferred tax
liability as of October 1, 1993 are as follows:

      Deferred tax liabilities:
        Partnership investments                             $   7,180
        Other                                                   1,817
                                                                8,997

      Deferred tax assets:
        Reserves not currently deductible                       6,744
        Other                                                   1,342
                                                                8,086

      Net deferred tax liability                            $     911


The provision for income tax expense for the three months ended December 31,
1993 was $6,651, of which $7,559 is current tax expense and $908 is deferred
tax benefit.


4.Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions

(In thousands)

Effective October 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 106, Employers' Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits Other Than Pensions.  SFAS No. 106 requires the Company to accrue the
estimated cost of retiree benefits during the years the employee provides
services.  The Company offers health care benefits for substantially all of its
retired employees.  The Company does not incur direct out-of-pocket costs for
retirees as premiums are paid solely by each retiree.  The accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation represents the portion of costs paid by the
Company for current employees which is actuarially determined to be
attributable to the cost of including retirees in the group plans.
SFAS No. 106 allows recognition of the cumulative effect of the liability in
the year of adoption or the amortization of the obligation over a period of up
to twenty years.  The Company has elected to recognize this obligation of
approximately $1.3 million over a period of twenty years.  The Company's cash
flows are not affected by implementation of the Statement, however,
implementation decreased income from continuing operations for the three months
ended December 31, 1993 by an immaterial amount.

The following table sets forth information as of October 1, 1993.


Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation:

   Retirees                                                   $      185
   Fully eligible plan participants                                  538
   Other active plan participants                                    588
                                                                   1,311
   Fair value of plan assets                                           0
   Accumulated postretirement benefit obligations
     in excess of plan assets                                      1,311
   Unrecognized transition obligation                              1,311
   Accrued postretirement benefit cost                        $        0



The assumed health care cost trend rate used in measuring the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation as of October 1, 1993 was 10.9% to 12.9% for
fiscal 1994 depending on the applicable benefit program under which the
employee is covered, decreasing each successive year until it reaches 5%, after
which it remains constant.  A one-percentage-point increase in the assumed
health care cost trend rate for each year would increase the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation as of October 1, 1993 and net postretirement
health care cost by approximately 13%.  The assumed discount rate used in
determining the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was 7%.



Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations

This discussion should be read in conjunction with Management's Financial
Discussion in the Registrant's Annual Report for the year ended September 30,
1993.


OPERATIONS

Revenues for the Registrant in the quarter ended December 31, 1993 were $106.2
million, up 18% ($16.3 million) from the comparable period of the previous
year.  Expenses increased 19% ($14.6 million) to $89.6 million.  Net income was
$10.0 million, compared to $8.9 million the previous year, up 12%
($1.1 million), while net income per share was $0.55 versus $0.52 in the first
quarter of fiscal 1993, an increase of 6%, due primarily to the increased
dilutive effect of common share equivalents (stock options).

Increases in commission revenues, asset management fees and equity underwriting
fees contributed to the increase in revenues.  Mutual fund commissions for the
first quarter were up 34% ($3.2 million) over the same period in fiscal year
1993.  Asset management fees were up 66% ($5.3 million) from the first quarter
of fiscal year 1993.  Assets under management by the Registrant's asset
management subsidiary, Piper Capital Management Incorporated, grew 35%
($3.3 billion), to $12.6 billion from the first quarter of last year.

Employee compensation, including broker compensation and employee incentives,
increased 21% ($11.3 million) compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1993, in
line with revenue and profit growth.  Because of continued steady growth,
additional employees have been added to support the increase in business and
to allow for future growth.  Overall operating expenses increased 19% over the
same period last year reflecting, in part, the increased costs of personnel and
branch expansion in fiscal 1993.  Communications expense increased 41%
($1.0 million), primarily due to additional personnel and higher trade volumes.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Registrant has a liquid balance sheet.  Most of the Registrant's assets
consist of cash and assets readily convertible into cash.  Management believes
that existing capital, funds from operations and current credit lines will be
sufficient to finance the Registrant's business.  The fluctuations in cash
flows from financing activities are directly related to operating activities
due to the liquid nature of the Registrant's balance sheet.

There are no known trends or uncertainties which would cause a material change
in the Registrant's capital structure.  There were no material commitments for
capital expenditures as of December 31, 1993.
