throughout, refer to The Jones Financial Companies, a Limited
Partnership and any or all of its consolidated subsidiaries. The
Partnership is the successor to Whitaker & Co., which was
established in 1871 and dissolved on October 1, 1943, said date
representing the organization date of Edward D. Jones & Co., L.P.
("EDJ"), the Partnership's principal subsidiary. EDJ was

____________ ____________ ____________
Total Revenues $ 719,452 $ 658,045 $ 639,564
Because of the interdependence of the activities and departments of
the Partnership's investment business and the arbitrary assumptions
involved in allocating overhead, it is impractical to identify and
specify expenses applicable to each aspect of the Partnership's
operations. Furthermore, the net income of firms principally
engaged in the securities business, including the Partnership's, is
effected by interest savings as a result of customer and other
credit balances and interest earned on customer margin accounts.
Listed Brokerage Transactions. A large portion of the
Partnership's revenue is derived from customers' transactions in
which the Partnership acts as agent in the purchase and sale of
listed corporate securities. These securities include common and
preferred stocks and corporate debt securities traded on and off
the securities exchanges. Revenue from brokerage transactions is
highly influenced by the volume of business and securities prices.
Customers' transactions in securities are effected on either a cash
or a margin basis. In a margin account, the Partnership lends the
customer a portion of the purchase price up to the limits imposed
by the margin regulations of the Federal Reserve Board (Regulation
T), New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) margin requirements, or the
Partnership's internal policies, which may be more stringent than
the regulatory minimum requirements. Such loans are secured by the
securities held in customers' margin accounts. These loans provide
a source of income to the Partnership since it is able to lend to
customers at rates which are higher than the rates at which it is
able to borrow on a secured basis. The Partnership is permitted to
use as collateral for the borrowings, securities owned by margin
<PAGE>
customers having an aggregate market value generally up to 140
percent of the debit balance in margin accounts. The Partnership
may also use funds provided by free credit balances in customers'
accounts to finance customers' margin account borrowings.
In permitting customers to purchase securities on margin, the
Partnership assumes the risk of a market decline which could reduce
the value of its collateral below a customer's indebtedness before
the collateral is sold. Under the NYSE rules, the Partnership is
required in the event of a decline in the market value of the
securities in a margin account to require the customer to deposit
additional securities or cash so that at all times the loan to the
customer is no greater than 75 percent of the value of the
securities in the account ( or to sell a sufficient amount of
securities in order to maintain this percentage). The Partnership,
however, imposes a more stringent maintenance requirement.
Variations in revenues from listed brokerage commissions between
periods is largely a function of market conditions; however, some
portion of the overall increases in recent years is due to the
growth in the number of registered representatives over these
periods.
Mutual Funds. The Partnership distributes mutual fund shares in
continuous offerings and new underwritings. As a dealer in mutual
fund shares, the Partnership receives a dealers' discount which
generally ranges from 1 percent to 5 3/4 percent of the purchase
price of the shares, depending on the terms of the dealer agreement
and the amount of the purchase. The Partnership also earns service
fees which are generally based on 15 to 25 basis points of its
customers' assets which are held by the mutual funds. The
Partnership does not manage any mutual fund, although it is a
limited partner of Passport Research, Ltd., an advisor to a money
market mutual fund.
Over-the-Counter Transactions. Partnership activities in unlisted
(over-the-counter) transactions are essentially similar to its
activities as a broker in listed securities. In connection with
customers' orders to buy or sell securities, the Partnership
charges a commission for both principal and agency transactions.
Principal Transactions. The Partnership makes a market in over-
the-counter corporate securities, municipal obligations, including
general obligations and revenue bonds, unit investment trusts and
mortgage-backed securities. The Partnership's market-making
activities are conducted with other dealers in the "wholesale"
market and "retail" market wherein the Partnership acts as a dealer
buying from and selling to its customers. In making markets in
over-the-counter securities, the Partnership exposes its capital to
the risk of fluctuation in the market value of its security
positions. It is the Partnership's policy not to trade for its own
account.
As in the case of listed brokerage transactions, revenue from over-
the-counter and principal transactions is highly influenced by the
volume of business and securities prices, as well as by the varying
number of registered representatives employed by the Partnership
over the periods indicated.
Insurance. The Partnership has executed several agency agreements
<PAGE>
with various national insurance companies. Through its 3,006
investment representatives who hold insurance sales licenses, EDJ
is able to offer life insurance, long term care insurance, and
fixed and variable annuities to its customers.
Investment Banking. The Partnership's investment banking
activities are performed by its Syndicate and Underwriting
Departments. The principal service which the Partnership renders
as an investment banker is the underwriting and distribution of
securities either in a primary distribution on behalf of the issuer
of such securities or in a secondary distribution on behalf of a
holder of such securities. The distributions of corporate and
municipal securities are, in most cases, underwritten by a group or
syndicate of underwriters. Each underwriter has a participation in
the offering.
Unlike many larger firms against which the Partnership competes,
the Partnership does not presently engage in other investment
banking activities such as assisting in mergers and acquisitions,
arranging private placement of securities issues with institutions
or providing consulting and financial advisory services to
corporations.
The Syndicate and Underwriting Departments are responsible for the
largest portion of the Partnership's investment banking business.
In the case of an underwritten offering managed by the Partnership,
these departments may form underwriting syndicates and work closely
with the branch office system for sales of the Partnership's own
participation and with other members of the syndicate in the
pricing and negotiation of other terms. In offerings managed by
others in which the Partnership participates as a syndicate member,
these departments serve as active coordinators between the managing
underwriter and the Partnership's branch office system.
The underwriting activity of the Partnership involves substantial
risks. An underwriter may incur losses if it is unable to resell
the securities it is committed to purchase or if it is forced to
liquidate all or part of its commitment at less than the agreed
purchase price. Furthermore, the commitment of capital to
underwriting may adversely affect the Partnership's capital
position and, as such, its participation in an underwriting may be
limited by the requirement that it must at all times be in
compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's uniform
Net Capital rule.
The Securities Act of 1933 and other applicable laws and
regulations impose substantial potential liabilities on
underwriters for material misstatements or omissions in the
prospectus used to describe the offered securities. In addition,
there exists a potential for possible conflict of interest between
an underwriter's desire to sell its securities and its obligation
to its customers not to recommend unsuitable securities. In recent
years there has been an increasing incidence of litigation in these
areas. These lawsuits are frequently brought for the benefit of
large classes of purchasers of underwritten securities. Such
lawsuits often name underwriters as defendants and typically seek
substantial amounts in damages.
Interest and Dividends. Interest and dividend income is earned
primarily on securities held and margin account balances. Interest
<PAGE>
is also earned by the Association on its loan portfolio.
Money Market Fees, IRA Custodial Service Fees and Other Revenues.
Other revenue sources include money market management fees, IRA
custodial services fees, accommodation transfer fees, gains from
sales of certain assets, and other product and service fees. Also
included is non-commission revenue received from mutual funds the
Partnership distributes. The Partnership has an interest in the
investment advisor to its money market fund, Daily Passport Cash
Trust. Revenue from this source has increased over the periods due
to growth in the fund, both in dollars invested and number of
accounts. In 1991 EDJ became the custodian for its IRA accounts.
Each account is charged an annual service fee for services rendered
to it by the Partnership.
The Partnership has registered an investment advisory program with
the SEC under the Investment Advisors Act of 1940. This service is
offered firmwide and involves income and estate tax planning and
analysis for clients. Revenues from this source are insignificant
and included under "Other Revenues."
Research Department. The Partnership maintains a Research
Department to provide specific investment recommendations and
market information for retail customers. The Department
supplements its own research with the services of various
independent research services. The Partnership competes with many
other securities firms with substantially larger research staffs in
its research activities.
Customer Account Administration and Operations. Operations
employees are responsible for activities relating to customers'
securities and the processing of transactions with other
broker/dealers. These activities include receipt, identification,
and delivery of funds and securities, internal financial controls,
accounting and personnel functions, office services, storage of
customer securities and the handling of margin accounts. The
Partnership processes substantially all of its own transactions.
It is important that the Partnership maintains current and accurate
books and records from both a profit viewpoint as well as for
regulatory compliance.
To expedite the processing of orders, the Partnership's branch
office system is linked to the St. Louis headquarters office
through an extensive communications network. Orders for all
securities are centralized and executed in St. Louis. The
Partnership's processing of paperwork following the execution of a
security transaction is automated, and operations are generally on
a current basis.
There is considerable fluctuation during any one year and from year
to year in the volume of transactions the Partnership processes.
The Partnership records transactions and posts its books on a daily
basis. Operations' personnel monitor day-to-day operations to
determine compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations.
Failure to keep current and accurate books and records can render
the Partnership liable to disciplinary action by governmental and
self-regulatory organizations.
The Partnership has a computerized branch office communication
system which is principally utilized for entry of security orders,
<PAGE>
quotations, messages between offices, research of various customer
account information and cash receipts functions.
The Partnership clears and settles virtually all of its listed
transactions through the National Securities Clearing Corporation
("NSCC"), New York, New York. NSCC effects clearing of securities
on the New York, American and Midwest Stock Exchanges.
In conjunction with clearing and settling transactions with NSCC
the Partnership holds customers' securities on deposit with the
Depository Trust Company ("DTC") in lieu of maintaining physical
custody of the certificates.
The Partnership is substantially dependent upon the operational
capacity and ability of NSCC/DTC. Any serious delays in the
processing of securities transactions encountered by NSCC/DTC may
result in delays of delivery of cash or securities to the
Partnership's customers. These services are performed for the
Partnership under contracts which may be changed or terminated at
will by either party.
Automated Data Processing, Inc., ("ADP") provides automated data
processing services for customer account activity and records.
The Partnership does not employ its own floor broker for
transactions on exchanges. The Partnership has arrangements with
other brokers to execute the Partnership's transactions in return
for a commission based on the size and type of trade. If for any
reason any of the Partnership's clearing, settling or executing
agents were to fail, the Partnership and its customers would be
subject to possible loss. While the coverages provided by the
Securities Investors Protection Corporation (SIPC) and protection
in excess of SIPC limits would be available to customers of the
Partnership, to the extent that the Partnership would not be able
to meet the obligations of the customers, such customers might
experience delays in obtaining the protections afforded them by the
SIPC and the Partnership's insurance carrier.
The Partnership believes that its internal controls and safeguards
concerning the risks of securities thefts are adequate. Although
the possibility of securities thefts is a risk of the industry, the
Partnership has not had, to date, a significant problem with such
thefts. The Partnership maintains fidelity bonding insurance
which, in the opinion of management, provides adequate coverage.
Employees. Including its general partners, the Partnership has
approximately 10,998 full and part-time employees, including 3,226
who are registered salespeople as of February 23, 1996. The
Partnership's salespersons are compensated on a commission basis
and may, in addition, be entitled to bonus compensation based on
their respective branch office profitability and the profitability
of the Partnership. The Partnership has no formal bonus plan for
its non-registered employees. The Partnership has, however, in the
past paid bonuses to its non-registered employees on an informal
basis, but there can be no assurance that such bonuses will be paid
for any given period or will be within any specific range of
amounts.
Employees of the Partnership are bonded under a blanket policy as
required by NYSE rules. The annual aggregate amount of coverage is
<PAGE>
$40,000,000 subject to a $2,000,000 deductible provision, per
occurrence.
The Partnership maintains a training program for prospective
salespeople which includes nine weeks of concentrated instruction
and on-the-job training in a branch office. The first phase of
training is spent studying Series 7 examination materials and
preparing for and taking the examination. The first week of the
training after passing the examination is spent in a comprehensive
training program in St. Louis. The next five weeks include on-the-
job training in branch locations reviewing investments, office
procedures and sales techniques. The salesperson is then sent to a
designated location, for four weeks, to establish the EDJ office,
conduct market research and prepare for opening the office. After
the salesperson has opened a branch office, one final week is spent
in a central location to complete the initial training program.
Two and four months later, the investment representative attends
additional training classes in St. Louis, and subsequently, EDJ
offers periodic continuing training to its experienced sales force.
EDJ's basic brokerage payout is similar to its competitors. A
bonus may also be paid based on the profitability of the branch and
the profitability of the Partnership.
The Partnership considers its employee relations to be good and
believes that its compensation and employee benefits which include
medical, life, and disability insurance plans and profit sharing
and deferred compensation retirement plans, are competitive with
those offered by other firms principally engaged in the securities
business.
Competition. The Partnership is subject to intensive competition
in all phases of its business from other securities firms, many of
which are substantially larger than the Partnership in terms of
capital, brokerage volume and underwriting activities. In
addition, the Partnership encounters competition from other
organizations such as banks, insurance companies, and others
offering financial services and advice. The Partnership also
competes with a number of firms offering discount brokerage
services, usually with lower levels of service to individual
customers. In recent periods, many regulatory requirements
prohibiting non-securities firms from engaging in certain aspects
of brokerage firms' business have been eliminated and further
removal of such prohibitions is anticipated. With minor
exceptions, customers are free to transfer their business to
competing organizations at any time. There is intense
competition among securities firms for salespeople
with good sales production records. In recent periods, the
Partnership has experienced increasing efforts by competing firms
to hire away its registered representatives although the
Partnership believes that its rate of turnover of investment
representatives is not higher than that of other firms comparable
to the Partnership.
Regulation. The securities industry in the United States is
subject to extensive regulation under both federal and state laws.
The SEC is the federal agency responsible for the administration of
the federal securities laws. The Partnership's principal
subsidiary is registered as a broker-dealer and investment advisor
with the SEC. Much of the regulation of broker-dealers has been
delegated to self-regulatory organizations, principally the NASD
<PAGE>
and national securities exchanges such as the NYSE, which has been
designated by the SEC as the Partnership's primary regulator.
These self-regulatory organizations adopt rules (which are subject
to approval by the SEC) that govern the industry and conduct
periodic examinations of the Partnership's operations. Securities
firms are also subject to regulation by state securities
administrators in those states in which they conduct business. EDJ
or an affiliate is registered as a broker-dealer in 50 states,
Puerto Rico and Canada.
Broker-dealers are subject to regulations which cover all aspects
of the securities business, including sales methods, trade
practices among broker-dealers, use and safekeeping of customers'
funds and securities, capital structure of securities firms,
record-keeping and the conduct of directors, officers and
employees. Additional legislation, changes in rules promulgated by
the SEC and self-regulatory organizations, or changes in the
interpretation or enforcement of existing laws and rules, may
directly affect the mode of operation and profitability of broker-
dealers. The SEC, self-regulatory organizations and state
securities commissions may conduct administrative proceedings which
can result in censure, fine, suspension or expulsion of a broker-
dealer, its officers or employees. The principal purpose of
regulation and discipline of broker-dealers is the protection of
customers and the securities markets, rather than protection of the
creditors and stockholders of broker-dealers. In addition, EDJ
conducts business in Canada, through a subsidiary partnership which
is regulated by the Investment Dealers Association of Canada. As a
federally chartered savings and loan, the Association is subject to
regulation by the Office of Thrift Supervision "OTS".
Uniform Net Capital Rule. As a broker-dealer and a member firm of
the NYSE, the Partnership is subject to the Uniform Net Capital
Rule (Rule) promulgated by the SEC. The Rule is designed to
measure the general financial integrity and liquidity of a broker-
dealer and the minimum Net Capital deemed necessary to meet the
broker-dealer's continuing commitments to its customers. The Rule
provides for two methods of computing Net Capital and the
Partnership has adopted what is generally referred to as the
alternative method. Minimum required Net Capital under the
alternative method is equal to 2% of the customer debit balances,
as defined. The Rule prohibits withdrawal of equity capital
whether by payment of dividends, repurchase of stock or other
means, if Net Capital would thereafter be less than 5% of customer
debit balances. Additionally, certain withdrawals require the
consent of the SEC to the extent they exceed defined levels even
though such withdrawals would not cause Net Capital to be less than
5% of aggregate debit items. In computing Net Capital, various
adjustments are made to exclude assets which are not readily
convertible into cash and to provide a conservative statement of
other assets such as a company's inventories. Failure to maintain
the required Net Capital may subject a firm to suspension or
expulsion by the NYSE, the SEC and other regulatory bodies and may
ultimately require its liquidation. The Partnership has, at all
times, been in compliance with the Net Capital rules.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Partnership conducts its headquarters operations from two
locations in St. Louis County, Missouri which are comprised of 18
<PAGE>
separate buildings containing approximately 761,700 usable square
feet. In addition, the Partnership leases approximately 12,000
square feet of office space for its Canadian headquarters
operations in Mississauga, Ontario. The Partnership also maintains
facilities in 3,195 branch locations which (as of December 31,
1995) are predominantly rented under cancelable leases.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In recent years there has been an increasing incidence of
litigation involving the securities industry. Such suits often
seek to benefit large classes of industry customers; many name
securities dealers as defendants along with exchanges in which they
hold membership and seek large sums as damages under federal and
state securities laws, anti-trust laws, and common law.
Various legal actions, primarily relating to the distribution of
securities, are pending against the Partnership. Certain cases are
class actions (or purported class actions) claiming substantial
damages. These actions are in various stages and the results of
such actions cannot be predicted with certainty. In the opinion of
management, after consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate
resolution of these actions is not expected to have a material
adverse impact on the Partnership's operations or financial
condition.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
None.
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED
STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
There is no market for the Limited or Subordinated Limited
Partnership interests and their assignment is prohibited.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (1995 VERSUS 1994)
Revenues increased 9% ($61 million) over 1994 to $719 million.
Expenses increased by 9% ($57 million), resulting in net income of
$58 million, an increase of 8% ($4 million) over 1994.
The firm slowed its salesforce growth to focus on implementing a
redesigned sales training program during 1995. As a result, the
firm decreased its number of Investment Representatives from 3,384
at the end of 1994 to 3,188 as of December 31, 1995.
Throughout 1995, the firm's product mix shifted significantly due
to changes in the economic environment during the year. Early in
1995, investors trended towards lower margin fixed income products.
As the year progressed, the product mix shifted to higher margin
mutual funds and insurance products. Although the number of
Investment Representatives was slightly lower in 1995, an overall
increased margin on customer dollars invested, combined with an
increase in customer dollars handled caused related revenue to
increase 7% ($42 million). Interest and other revenue also
increased during 1995.
Commission revenues increased 22% ($80 million) over 1994 levels
due primarily to a 12% ($25 million) increase in mutual fund
commissions and service fees and a 42% ($35 million) increase in
Listed and OTC agency commissions. The majority of mutual fund
commission revenues (81%) were derived from equity products.
Commission revenues benefited from an active stock market and
rising securities prices in 1995.
Principal transaction revenues decreased 23% ($37 million).
Government, Municipal, and Corporate bond revenue decreased 55%
($21 million), 21% ($12 million), and 13% ($3 million),
respectively. Additionally, Collateralized Mortgage Obligation
revenue declined 7% ($2 million). Offsetting these decreases was
an increase in Over-the-Counter equity revenue of 69% ($3 million).
During the first and second quarters of 1995, investors deferred
their investment decisions and purchased certificates of deposit
and short term fixed income securities. Later in the year,
influenced by a low inflation climate and interest rates, investors
sought higher returns in equity products, shifting away from fixed
income products.
Investment Banking revenues declined $1 million due to a decline in
municipal bond originations.
Interest and dividend revenues increased 18% ($9.5 million).
Interest earned on margin balances rose 16% ($6.5 million),
primarily due to higher interest rates in 1995 compared with 1994.
Interest income from the Association contributed $2 million in
interest revenue during 1995.
Other revenues increased 29% ($10 million) over 1994. Revenues
from non-bank custodian IRA accounts increased 29% ($2 million) due
to an increased number of accounts. Additionally, revenues
generated from money market management fees and non-commission
revenue received from mutual fund and insurance products increased
38% ($4.3 million) and 20% ($2.4 million), respectively.
<PAGE>
Expenses increased 9% ($57 million). The Partnership continues to
make the investment necessary to support a larger salesforce in
future years. Increased expenses are primarily attributable to
payroll and occupancy costs both in the St. Louis headquarters and
the branches, as well as to technology related expenditures.
Overall, compensation costs increased by 6% ($23 million).
Commissions paid to Investment Representatives increased due to
increased revenues. The Partnership's compensation structure for
its investment representatives is designed to expand or contract
substantially as a result of changes in revenues, net income and
profit margins. Similarly, a portion of the non-sales personnel
compensation, which may be paid in the form of bonuses and profit
sharing contributions, expands and contracts in the same fashion.
In 1995, due to the variability in product mix and profitability as
measured during certain periods throughout the year, variable
compensation decreased by $8 million. Compensation costs in the
St. Louis headquarters as well as the branch offices increased in
order to support changing technology and to support a larger
salesforce in the future.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (1994 VERSUS 1993)
Revenues increased 3% ($18.5 million) over 1993 to $658 million.
Expenses increased by 5% ($31 million) resulting in net income of
$54 million, a decrease of 19% ($12 million) over 1993.
In 1994, the Partnership increased its salesforce by 23% to 3,378
investment representatives compared with 2,745 at the end of 1993.
The growth in the salesforce contributed to a 7% increase in
dollars invested by EDJ customers which grew from $17.8 billion in
1993 to $19.1 billion in 1994. Productivity measured on an
individual investment representative basis, however, has decreased
as EDJ has increased its investment representatives. Many of the
new investment representatives are beginners in the industry who
generally achieve profitability after about 30 months. In
addition, the product mix of the firm has shifted away from mutual
funds and into Certificates of Deposit, Corporate, Government and
Municipal bonds, which has reduced the margin on customer dollars
invested compared with 1993. As the yield curve has flattened,
customers were inclined to purchase shorter term investments, which
carry lower margins compared with longer term investments and
equities. These factors combined caused an overall increase in
revenues of 3% ($18.5 million) over 1993 to $658 million.
Commission revenues decreased $62 million primarily from a $79
million (35%) decrease in mutual fund commissions offset by a $10
million increase in mutual fund service fees. Listed and over-the-
counter agency commissions decreased $8.5 million or 10% over 1993.
Insurance commissions increased 18%, with variable and fixed
annuities increasing by $12.8 million. With rising interest rates
over the year, customers increased their investments in short and
intermediate term fixed income securities.
Principal transaction revenues increased 76% ($71 million) with
government and municipal bond revenues increasing $46 million.
Revenues from collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) increased
123% ($15.5 million) and corporate bonds increased 38% ($6.3
million). At the same time, O-T-C principal stock sales decreased
by $1 million.
<PAGE>
Investment banking revenues declined 19% ($8.6 million) from
substantial decreases in equity originations and syndicate equity
participations ($7.2 million). Syndicate CMOs decreased 89% ($5.5
million) with the decrease partially offset by certificate of
deposit revenue increasing 110% ($9.1 million).
Interest and dividend revenues increased 37% or $14 million.
Customers' margin loan balances increased 4% in 1994 ($17 million)
ending the year at $468 million. Customer margin loan revenue
increased 38% ($11.1 million) primarily due to the increase in
interest rates during the year. U.S. Government and agency
interest income increased 42% ($2.8 million) from $6.5 million as
the Partnership increased Investment Securities by approximately
$60 million during the year.
Other revenues increased $5 million (17%) over 1993. Revenues from
non-bank custodian IRA accounts resulted in an increase of $1.2
million in 1994.
Overall expenses increased 5% ($31 million) as the Partnership
continued to incur significant costs related to the growth of its
salesforce, which has increased approximately 23% for each of the
last three years. The Partnership incurred approximately $28
million of training, salary and other costs in order to support the
growth in the salesforce compared with $21 million in 1993.
The Partnership's compensation structure for its investment
representatives and non-sales personnel is designed to expand or
contract substantially as a result of changes in revenues, net
income and profit margins. As a result of decreased revenues and
net income in 1994, variable compensation, including bonuses and
profit sharing contributions, declined by $35 million or 44% from
1993 levels. This was offset by increases in headquarter, branch
and trainee compensation which increased to support the 23% growth
in the salesforce. Overall, compensation decreased by $7 million.
Other operating expenses are less influenced by decreasing revenues
and net income. In total, these expenses increased by $38 million,
or 21%, and were primarily related to the headquarters and
increased branch expenses necessary to support a rapidly growing
salesforce.
The Effects of Inflation
The Partnership's net assets are primarily monetary, consisting of
cash, securities inventories and receivables less liabilities.
Monetary net assets are primarily liquid in nature and would not be
significantly affected by inflation. Inflation and future
expectations of inflation influence securities prices, as well as
activity levels in the securities markets. As a result,
profitability and capital may be impacted by inflation and
inflationary expectations. Additionally, inflation's impact on the
Partnership's operating expenses may affect profitability to the
extent that additional costs are not recoverable through increased
prices of services offered by the Partnership.
<PAGE>
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Partnership's equity capital at December 31, 1995, was $248.3
million compared to $190.5 million at December 31, 1994. Overall,
equity capital increased 30%, primarily due to the issuance of
partnership interests and retention of earnings. The Partnership
issued additional limited partnership interests in October 1995 of
$39.7 million and additional subordinated limited partnership
interests of $10.8 and $5.2 million in 1995 and 1994, respectively.
At December 31, 1995, the Partnership had a $44.1 million balance
of cash and cash equivalents. Lines of credit are in place at ten
banks aggregating $570 million ($545 million through uncommitted
facilities). Actual borrowing availability is primarily based on
securities owned and customers' margin securities. The Partnership
believes that the liquidity provided by existing cash balances and
borrowing arrangements will be sufficient to meet the Partnership
capital and liquidity requirements.
A substantial portion of the Partnership's assets are primarily
liquid, consisting mainly of cash and assets readily convertible
into cash. These assets are financed primarily by customer credit
balances, equity capital, bank lines of credit and other payables.
For the year ended December 31, 1995, cash and cash equivalents
increased $7.4 million. Cash flows from operating activities
provided $175 million, primarily attributable to a decrease in
securities owned, decreases in net receivables from customers,
accounts payable, and net income, adjusted for depreciation and
amortization. Investing activities used $42 million primarily for
the purchase of fixed assets. Cash flows from financing activities
used $125 million primarily to decrease bank loans, repay
subordinated liabilities and fund withdrawals and distributions
from partnership capital. Financing activities providing cash were
the issuance of long-term debt and partnership capital.
For the year ended December 31, 1994, cash and cash equivalents
increased $7.9 million. Cash flows from operating activities used
$3.6 million, primarily attributable to an increase in securities
owned, decreases in net receivables from customers and net income,
adjusted for depreciation and amortization. Investing activities
used $43 million primarily for the purchase of fixed assets. Cash
flows from financing activities provided $54 million primarily from
the issuance of subordinated and long-term debt and bank loans.
Financing activities using cash were the repayment of long-term and
subordinated debt and withdrawals and distributions from
partnership capital.
For the year ended December 31, 1993, cash and cash equivalents
decreased $8.9 million. Cash flows from operating activities
provided $41 million, primarily attributable to a decrease in
securities owned, increases in net receivables from customers and
net income, adjusted for depreciation and amortization. Investing
activities used $47 million primarily for the purchase of fixed
assets. Cash flows from financing activities used $3 million
primarily for withdrawals and distributions from partnership
capital. Financing activities providing cash were from the
issuance of partnership interests and long-term debt.
<PAGE>
As a result of its activities as a broker/dealer, EDJ, the
Partnership's principal subsidiary, is subject to the Net Capital
provisions of Rule 15c3-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
and the capital rules of the New York Stock Exchange. Under the
alternative method permitted by the rules, EDJ must maintain
minimum Net Capital, as defined, equal to the greater of $250,000
or 2% of aggregate debit items arising from customer transactions.
The Net Capital rule also provides the partnership capital may not
be withdrawn if resulting Net Capital would be less than 5% of
aggregate debit items. Additionally, certain withdrawals require
the consent of the SEC to the extent they exceed defined levels
even though such withdrawals would not cause Net Capital to be less
than 5% of aggregate debit items. At December 31, 1995, EDJ's Net
Capital of $181,965,000 was 38% of aggregate debit items and its
net capital in excess of the minimum required was $172,401,000.
Net Capital and the related capital percentage may fluctuate on a
daily basis.
There were no material changes in the Partnership's overall
financial condition during the year ended December 31, 1995,
compared with the year ended December 31, 1994. The Partnership's
consolidated statement of financial condition is comprised
primarily of cash and assets readily convertible into cash.
Securities inventories are carried at market value and are readily
marketable. The firm carried higher trading inventory levels in
1995 as compared to 1994. Customer margin accounts are
collateralized by marketable securities. Other customer
receivables and receivables and payables with other broker/dealers
normally settle on a current basis. Liabilities, including amounts
payable to customers, checks and accounts payable and accrued
expenses are sources of funds to the Partnership. These
liabilities, to the extent not utilized to finance assets, are
available to meet liquidity needs and provide funds for short term
investments, which favorably impacts profitability.
The Partnership's growth in recent years has been financed through
sales of limited partnership interests to its employees, retention
of earnings and private placements of long-term and subordinated
debt.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To The Jones Financial Companies, a Limited Partnership:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of
financial condition of The Jones Financial Companies, a Limited
Partnership (a Missouri limited partnership) and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related consolidated statements
of income, cash flows and changes in partnership capital for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The
Jones Financial Companies, a Limited Partnership and subsidiaries
as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of their
operations, their cash flows and the changes in their partnership
capital for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

THE JONES FINANCIAL COMPANIES, A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993
(Amounts in thousands)
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Partnership's Business and Basis of Accounting. The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of The Jones Financial Companies, a Limited Partnership, and all
wholly owned subsidiaries (the "Partnership"). All material
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Investments in nonconsolidated companies which are at least 20%
owned are accounted for under the equity method.
The Partnership's principal operating subsidiary, Edward D. Jones &
Co., L.P. (" EDJ"), is engaged in business as a registered
broker/dealer primarily serving individual investors. The
Partnership derives its revenues from listed and unlisted
securities, investment banking, principal transactions, insurance
products and is a distributor of mutual fund shares. The
Partnership conducts business throughout the United States and in
Canada with its customers, various brokers and dealers, clearing
organizations, depositories and banks.
The Partnership acquired Boone National Savings and Loan
Association, F.A. (``Association'') on July 21, 1995 (Note 12). The
Association operates primarily in Central Missouri and plans to
provide trust services to EDJ customers.
The financial statements have been prepared under the accrual basis
of accounting which requires the use of certain estimates by
management in determining the Partnership's assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Partnership considers all short-
term investments with original maturities of three months or less,
that are not held for sale to customers, to be cash equivalents.
Transactions. The Partnership's securities activities involve
execution, settlement and financing of various securities
transactions for customers. These transactions (and related
revenue and expense) are recorded on a settlement date basis,
generally representing the third business day following the
transaction date, which is not materially different than a trade
date basis. The Partnership may be exposed to risk of loss in the
event customers, other brokers and dealers, banks, depositories or
clearing organizations are unable to fulfill contractual
obligations. For transactions in which it extends credit to
customers, the Partnership seeks to control the risks associated
with these activities by requiring customers to maintain margin
collateral in compliance with various regulatory and internal
guidelines. The Association makes secured commercial, real estate,
and consumer loans primarily to customers in Central Missouri.
<PAGE>
Securities Owned. Securities owned are valued at current market
prices. Unrealized gains or losses are reflected in principal
transactions revenue.
Equipment, Property and Improvements. Equipment, including
furniture and fixtures, is depreciated using straight-line and
accelerated methods over estimated useful lives of five to ten
years. Buildings are depreciated using the straight-line method
over estimated useful lives approximating thirty to thirty two
years. Amortization of property improvements is computed based on
the remaining life of the property or economic useful life of the
improvement, whichever is less. When assets are retired or
otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated
depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts, and any
resulting gain or loss is reflected in income for the period. The
cost of maintenance and repairs is charged against income as
incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are
capitalized.
Segregated Cash Equivalents and Securities Owned. Rule 15c3-3 of
the Securities and Exchange Commission requires deposits of cash or
securities to a special reserve bank account for the benefit of
customers if total customer related credits exceed total customer
related debits, as defined. No deposits of cash or securities were
required as of December 31, 1995 or 1994.
Income Taxes. Income taxes have not been provided for in the
consolidated financial statements since The Jones Financial
Companies, a Limited Partnership, is organized as a partnership,
and each partner is liable for its own tax payments.
NOTE 2 - RECEIVABLE FROM AND PAYABLE TO CUSTOMERS
Accounts receivable from and payable to customers include margin
balances and amounts due on uncompleted transactions. Values of
securities owned by customers and held as collateral for these
receivables are not reflected in the financial statements.
Substantially all amounts payable to customers are subject to
withdrawal upon customer request.

NOTE 7 - BANK LOANS
The Partnership borrows from banks on a short-term basis primarily
to finance customer margin balances and inventory securities. As
of December 31, 1995, the Partnership had bank lines of credit
aggregating $570,000 of which $545,000 were through uncommitted
facilities. Actual borrowing availability is primarily based on
securities owned and customers' margin securities. At December 31,
1995 and 1994, collateral of $416,645 and $475,594, respectively,
was available to support secured bank loans of EDJ. As of December
31, 1995, the Association had a $1.5 million loan from the Federal
Home Loan Bank secured by mortgage loans. All loans outstanding
approximate their fair value.
Interest is at a fluctuating rate (weighted average rate of 5.8%
and 7.0% at December 31, 1995, and 1994, respectively) based on
short-term lending rates. The average of the aggregate short-term
bank loans outstanding was $97,527, $159,600 and $99,100 and the
average interest rate (computed on the basis of the average
aggregate loans outstanding) was 6.8%, 5.2% and 4.0% for the years
ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
NOTE 8 - PAYABLE TO DEPOSITORS

The Partnership has land, buildings and equipment with a carrying
value of $70,716 at December 31, 1995, which are subject to
security agreements which collateralize various notes payable.
Certain agreements contain restrictions that among other things,
require maintenance of certain financial ratios, levels of
indebtedness and limit the withdrawal of partnership capital. The
Partnership has estimated the fair value of the long-term debt to
be approximately $68,159 and $38,199 as of December 31, 1995 and
1994, respectively.
NOTE 10 - LIABILITIES SUBORDINATED TO CLAIMS OF GENERAL CREDITORS
Liabilities subordinated to the claims of general creditors consist

============ ============
The capital note agreements contain restrictions that among other
things, require maintenance of certain financial ratios, restrict
encumbrance of assets and creation of indebtedness and limit the
withdrawal of partnership capital. As of December 31, 1995, the
Partnership was required, under the note agreements, to maintain
minimum partnership capital of $110,000 and Net Capital as computed
in accordance with the uniform Net Capital rule of 7.5% of
aggregate debit items (See Note 13).
<PAGE>
The subordinated liabilities are subject to cash subordination
agreements approved by the New York Stock Exchange and, therefore,
are included in the Partnership's computation of Net Capital under
the Securities and Exchange Commission's uniform Net Capital rule.
The Partnership has estimated the fair value of the subordinated
capital notes to be approximately $128,156 and $130,520 as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
NOTE 11 - PARTNERSHIP CAPITAL
The limited partnership capital, consisting of 98,410 and 62,375
$1,000 units at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, is held
by current and former employees and general partners of the
Partnership. Each limited partner receives interest at seven and
one-half percent on the principal amount of capital contributed and
a varying percentage of the net income of the Partnership.
Interest expense includes $5,055, $4,741, and $3,781 for the years
ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, paid to
limited partners on capital contributed.
The subordinated limited partnership capital, consisting of 28,943
and 22,020 $1,000 units at December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively, is held by current and former general partners of the
Partnership. Each subordinated limited partner receives a varying
percentage of the net income of the Partnership. The subordinated
limited partner capital is subordinated to the limited partnership
capital.
Included in partnership capital at December 31, 1995 and 1994, are
undistributed profits of $17,477 and $14,679, respectively, to be
withdrawn by the partners.
NOTE 12 - ACQUISITION
Effective July 21, 1995, the Partnership purchased Boone National
Savings and Loan Association, F.A., in a stock purchase transaction
for approximately $8.6 million. The acquisition has been accounted
for as a purchase, and accordingly, the operating results of the
Association have been included in the Partnership's consolidated
results since the effective acquisition date. The acquisition was
funded with $5 million of long-term debt and a $3.6 million note
held by the sellers. The acquisition did not have a material
effect on the results of operations or financial position of the
Partnership in 1995. As of December 31, 1995, the total assets of
the Association were approximately $72.3 million.
NOTE 13 - CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
As a result of its activities as a broker/dealer, EDJ, is subject
to the Net Capital provisions of Rule 15c3-1 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and the capital rules of the New York Stock
Exchange. Under the alternative method permitted by the rules, EDJ
must maintain minimum Net Capital, as defined, equal to the greater
of $250 or 2% of aggregate debit items arising from customer
transactions. The Net Capital rule also provides that partnership
capital may not be withdrawn if resulting Net Capital would be less
than 5% of aggregate debit items. Additionally, certain
withdrawals require the consent of the SEC to the extent they
exceed defined levels even though such withdrawals would not cause
Net Capital to be less than 5% of aggregate debit items.
<PAGE>
At December 31, 1995, EDJ's Net Capital of $181,965 was 38% of
aggregate debit items and its Net Capital in excess of the minimum
required was $172,401. Net Capital and the related capital
percentage may fluctuate on a daily basis.
The Association is required under federal regulation to maintain
specified levels of liquidity and capital standards. The
Association has been in compliance with these regulations at all
times.
NOTE 14 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN
The Partnership maintains a profit sharing plan covering all
eligible employees. Contributions to the plan are at the
discretion of the Partnership. However, participants may
contribute on a voluntary basis. Approximately $14,951, $13,835,
and $16,716 were provided by the Partnership for its contributions
to the plan for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. No post retirement benefits are provided.
NOTE 15 - COMMITMENTS
Furniture, fixtures, computer and communication equipment are
rented under various operating leases. Additionally, branch
offices are leased on a three to five year basis and are
cancellable at the option of the Partnership. The Partnership's
non-cancelable lease commitments greater than one year are
summarized below:
1996 $ 16,188
1997 16,342
1998 12,864
1999 5,434
2000 2,202
Thereafter 7,760
Rent expense was $44,486, $35,558, and $28,385 for the years ended
December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
NOTE 16 - CONTINGENCIES
Various legal actions, primarily relating to the distribution of
securities, are pending against the Partnership. Certain cases are
class actions (or purported class actions) claiming substantial
damages. These actions are in various stages and the results of
such actions cannot be predicted with certainty. In the opinion of
management, after consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate
resolution of these actions is not expected to have a material
adverse impact on the Partnership's results of operations or
financial condition.

(1)Each non-selling general partner receives a salary generally
ranging from $90,000 - $120,000 annually. Selling general
partners do not receive a specified salary, rather, they
receive the net sales commissions earned by them (none of the
five individuals listed above earned any such commissions).
Additionally, general partners who are principally engaged in
sales are entitled to office bonuses based on the profitability
of their respective branch office, on the same basis as the
office bonus program established for all investment
representative employees.
<PAGE>
(2)Each general partner is a participant in the Partnership's
profit sharing plan which covers all eligible employees.
Contributions to the plan, which are within the discretion of
the Partnership, are made annually and have historically been
determined based on approximately twenty-four percent of the
Partnership's net income. Allocation of the Partnership's
contribution among participants is determined by each
participant's relative level of eligible earnings, including in
the case of general partners, their profit participation.
(3)Each general partner is entitled to participate in the annual
net income of the Partnership based upon the respective
percentage interest in the Partnership of each partner. These
interests in the Partnership held by each general partner
currently range from 1/10 of 1% to 4.65% in 1995, (1/10 of 1%
to 4.50% in 1994 and 1/10 of 1% to 4.95% in 1993). At the
discretion of the Managing Partner, the partnership agreement
provides that, generally, the first eight percent of net income
allocable to general partners be distributed on the basis of
individual merit or otherwise as determined by the Managing
Partner. Thereafter, the remaining net income allocable to
general partners is distributed based upon each individual's
percentage interest in the Partnership.
(4)Net income allocable to general partners is the amount
remaining after payment of interest and earnings on capital
invested to limited partners and subordinated limited partners.
ITEM 12.SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND
MANAGEMENT
Being organized as a limited partnership, management is vested in
the general partners thereof and there are no other outstanding
"voting" or "equity" securities. It is the opinion of the
Partnership that the general partnership interests are not
securities within the meaning of federal and state securities laws
primarily because each of the general partners participates in the
management and conduct of the business.
In connection with outstanding limited and subordinated limited
partnership interests (non-voting securities), 82 of the general
partners also own limited partnership interests and 26 of the
general partners also own subordinated limited partnership
interests, as noted in the table below.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
In the ordinary course of its business the Partnership has extended
credit to certain of its partners and employees in connection with
their purchase of securities. Such extensions of credit have been
made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and
collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable
transactions with non-affiliated persons, and did not involve more
than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable
features. The Partnership also, from time to time and in the
ordinary course of business, enters into transactions involving the
purchase or sale of securities from or to partners or employees and
members of their immediate families, as principal. Such purchases
and sales of securities on a principal basis are effected on
substantially the same terms as similar transactions with
unaffiliated third parties.
