                     Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
                                     (Unaudited)


          Note 1.   Company's Quarterly Report Under Form 10-Q
               In the opinion of Management, the accompanying unaudited
          financial statements contain all adjustments (all of which are
          normal and recurring in nature) necessary to present fairly the
          financial statements of JB Oxford Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries
          (the Company) for the periods presented.  The accompanying
          financial information should be read in conjunction with the
          Company's 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Footnote disclosures
          that substantially duplicate those in the Company's Annual
          Audited Report on Form 10-K, including significant accounting
          policies, have been omitted.
               The Company formed two subsidiaries, S4L and JB Oxford
          Insurance Services, Inc. (JBOI) during the current year.  S4L
          commenced business at the end of the second quarter, and JBOI has
          not yet commenced operations.
               The Company's broker/dealer subsidiaries, JB Oxford &
          Company (JBOC) and Stocks4Less, Inc. (S4L), are consolidated
          in the quarterly financial information as of June 27, 1997 and
          June 28, 1996, because the last settlement Friday of each month
          is consistently treated as month-end.  Accordingly, this is
          reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the
          Company.

          Note 2.   Derivative Financial Instruments
               As a part of its ongoing trading activities the Company may
          hold derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
          These instruments consist of options and warrants and are not
          used as hedge instruments to reduce financial market risks.  The
          Company does not trade futures, forward, swap or any other
          derivative financial instruments except options and warrants.
          Options and warrants are valued at quoted market value and
          options and warrants not readily marketable are valued at fair
          value as determined by management.  Fluctuations in market value
          (or fair value) are included in the consolidated statement of
          operations.

          Note 3.   New Accounting Pronouncements
               The Statement of Financial Accounting Standard Number 128
          (SFAS No. 128), _Earnings Per Share_ (_EPS_), issued by the
          Financial Accounting Standards Board is effective for financial
          statements issued for the periods ending after December 15, 1997,
          including interim periods.  The SFAS No. 128 requires restatement
          of all prior period EPS data presented.  The new standard also
          requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the
          basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the
          diluted EPS computation.  The Company does not expect that the
          adoption will have a material effect on its EPS calculation.
               Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 129,
          _Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure_ (SFAS
          No.129) issued by the FASB is effective for financial statements
          ending after December 15, 1997.  The new standard reinstates
          various securities disclosure requirements previously in effect
          under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15, which has been
          superseded by SFAS No. 128.  The Company does not expect
          adoption of SFAS N0. 129 to have a material effect, if any, on
          its financial position or results of operations.
               Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130,
          _Reporting Comprehensive Income_ (SFAS  No. 130) issued by the
          FASB is effective for financial statements with fiscal years
          beginning after December 15, 1997.  Earlier application is
          permitted.  SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and
          display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set
          of general-purpose financial statements.  The company has not
          determined the effect on its financial position or results of
          operations, if any, from the adoption of this statement.
               Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131,
          _Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
          Information_ (SFAS No. 131) issued by the FASB is effective for
          financial statements beginning after December 15, 1997.  The new
          standard requires that public business enterprises report
          certain information about operating segments in complete sets of
          financial statements of the enterprise and in condensed
          financial statements of interim periods issued to shareholders.
          It also requires that public business enterprises report certain
          information about their products and services, the geographic
          areas in which they operate and their major customers.  The
          Company does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 131 to have a
          material effect, if any, on its Results of Operations.

          Note 4.   Loans from Shareholders
               The Company borrowed additional funds in the amount of
          $3,400,000 from certain shareholders during the second quarter.
          These loans are unsecured, due on demand, and bear interest at 8
          1/4% per annum due quarterly.

          Note 5.   Convertible Preferred Stock
               On April 12, 1997 the holder exercised the conversion
          option.  The preferred stock was converted to common stock at the
          rate of $.50 per share of common stock based on the par value of
          the preferred stock.

          Note 6.   Stockholders' Equity
               On April 12, 1997 200,000 shares of preferred stock was
          converted into 4,000,000 shares of $.01 par value common stock.
          During the six months ending June 30, 1997, 41,000 shares of
          common stock was issued upon the exercise of various stock
          options.  Additionally, 65,000 shares of common stock was issued
          to a consultant for compensation.

          Note 7.   Regulatory Requirements
               JBOC and S4L are subject to the Securities and Exchange
          Commission's Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1), which
          requires the maintenance of minimum net capital.
               At June 30, 1997, JBOC had net capital of $15,411,414 which
          was 5.0% of aggregate debit balances and $9,266,478 in excess of
          the minimum amount required.  At December 31, 1996 JBOC had net
          capital of $12,222,510, which was 5.8% of aggregate debit
          balances and $7,986,964 in excess of the minimum amount required.
          At June 30, 1997, S4L had net capital of $38,872 which was $26,615
          in excess of the minimum amount required.
               Cash is segregated in special reserve bank accounts for the
          exclusive benefit of customers under Rule 15c3-3 of the
          Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 as amended.  Included in the
          special reserve accounts are securities purchased under
          agreements to resell on an overnight basis in the amount of
          $193,428,398 as of June 30, 1997.  Securities purchased are U.S.
          Treasury instruments having a market value of 102% of cash
          tendered.  The Company liquidated $2,500,000 of these securities
          on July 1, 1997 pursuant to these rules.

          Note 8.   Contingent Liabilities
               In the ordinary conduct of business, the Company and/or its
          subsidiaries have been named as Defendants in several lawsuits
          and arbitration matters or have instituted legal proceedings as
          Plaintiffs to recover moneys owing, the most significant of which
          follow:

          a)    In an action commenced in March 1995, in the U.S.
            District Court of New York,  a claim was brought by former
            counsel for the Company and alleges payment due for
            professional services in the amount of $681,217.  An answer
            and counter claim by the Company was filed asserting among
            other claims that the Company was overcharged for services.
            The ultimate outcome and range of possible loss, if any, is
            not determinable at this stage.  Management intends to
            vigorously contest this matter.

               The ultimate outcome of the uncertainties discussed above is
          unknown.  Moreover, due to the nature of arbitration matters, it
          is impossible to predict the ultimate outcome and/or range of
          loss.  Accordingly, no provision for any liability that might
          result has been made in the accompanying financial statements.

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

          Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements

               Certain statements constitute _forward-looking statements_
          within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform
          Act of 1995 (the _Reform Act_).  Such forward-looking statements
          involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors
          which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements
          of the Company to be materially different from any future
          results, performance or achievements, expressed or implied by
          such forward-looking statements.


          Changes in Financial Condition

               The Company had significant growth in the second quarter of
          1997.  Total assets increased $158,909,964 or 43% from March
          31,1997 and has increased $202,231,886 or 61% from the year end
          balances. Net assets (assets less liabilities) of the Company
          increased $1,464,685 to $13,822,843, or 12% from December 31,
          1996
               The most significant increase in assets was in cash
          segregated under federal regulations which increased $97,751,936
          or 102% to $193,428,398 at June 30, 1997.  Receivables from
          customers increased $88,281,902 or 42% to $298,008,965 during the
          first six months of 1997.  Receivables from customers represent
          56% of the Company's total assets at June 30, 1997, down from 63%
          at December 31, 1996.  Receivables from broker/dealers and
          clearing organizations increased $12,016,185 or 171% to
          $19,050,898 during the six months ended June 30, 1997.
               Total liabilities increased $200,767,201 or 63% to
          $518,745,164.  Payables to customers increased $133,176,025 or
          51% to $395,196,022.  Customer payables represent 76% of the
          total liabilities of the Company.  Payables to broker dealers
          increased by $56,288,365 or 158% to $91,855,071 during the six
          months ended June 30, 1997. Of this increase, $52,359,334 was
          attributable to increases in securities loaned.  Accounts payable
          and accrued liabilities increased by $4,483,886 or 59% during the
          six months ended June 30, 1997.


          Comparison of Operations

               The Company recorded net income of $1,370,034 for the six
          months ended June 30, 1997 compared to $2,330,940 in 1996, and
          net income of $105,172 for the quarter ended June 30, 1997
          compared to $1,152,843 in 1996.  This represents a decrease of
          $960,906 and $1,047,671 in earnings compared to the same periods
          in 1996.
               Total revenue increased $4,747,022 or 16% to $33,833,297 for
          the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the same six
          months of 1996.  Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1997
          increased $2,033,998 or 13% compared to the quarter ended June
          30, 1996, and $2,598,021 or 17% over the trailing first quarter
          of 1997.
               Clearing and execution revenue decreased by $561,625 or 5%
          to $9,762,126 during the first six months of 1997 compared to the
          same period of 1996.  The decrease was due to a decrease in the
          average price charged per transaction.  Correspondent ticket
          volume which generates clearing and execution revenue increased
          by 35% in the first six months of 1997 over the same period in
          1996.
               Commission revenue increased by $1,234,674 or 12% during the
          first six months of 1997 compared to the same period of 1996.
          Net commissions (commission revenue less commission expense)
          increased $1,004,249 during the same period.  The increase in
          commission is directly related to the increase in discount
          transaction volume, which increased 48% over the same period for
          the prior year.  The Capital Markets Division of JBOC completed
          an initial public offering transaction during the second quarter
          of 1996.  This contributed approximately $600,000 to commission
          revenue during the period.  The Company has discontinued this
          division.
               Interest revenue increased by $4,212,522 or 68% during the
          first six months of 1997 compared to the first six months of
          1996.  This increase is the result of increased customer margin
          balances.  Net interest income increased $1,577,746 or 60% during
          the first six months of 1997 over 1996.
               Trading profits increased $1,577,869 or 206% during the
          first six months of 1997 compared to the same period in 1997.
               The Company's total expenses increased by $6,347,928 or 25%
          during the first six months of 1997 compared to the same period
          of 1996.  Expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 increased
          $3,793,669 or 27% compared to the quarter ended June 30, 1996 and
          $4,522,711 or 33% over the trailing first quarter of 1997.
               Commission expense increased by $230,425 or 5% to $4,641,703
          during the first six months of 1997 compared to the same period
          of 1996.  However, related commission revenue increased by 12%.
               Interest expense increased by $2,634,776 or 75% during the
          first six months of 1997 compared to the first six months of
          1996.  This increase is directly related to the increase in
          interest revenue described above.
               Salaries and other operational expenses have increased as a
          result of the increase in transaction volume and related revenue.
          This growth is primarily the result of management's efforts to
          expand JBOC's discount division, fueled by increased promotional
          expense of 38% over the first six months of the previous year.
          During the second quarter the Company also began operations in a
          new broker/dealer subsidiary, Stocks 4 Less, Inc.  Much of this
          promotional expense increase is related to the startup of this
          new subsidiary.  In a continuing effort to manage costs and
          maximize returns on dollars spent, Management will monitor its
          customer leads in relation to the advertising dollars being
          spent.
               Clearing expense increased $368,263 or 36% from the first
          six months of 1997 compared to the first six months of 1996.
          This increase relates directly to an increase in overall
          transaction volume which is up 40% during the first six months of
          1997 over 1996.
               Bad debts expense increased by $672,137 or 38% to $1,727,964
          during the first six months of 1997 compared to the same period
          of 1996.  The most significant item was a litigation matter that
          was settled in the gross amount of $1,500,000.


          Liquidity and Capital Resources

               The Company's equity to total assets ratio decreased during
          the quarter, from 3.7 % to 2.6%.  The Company's liquidity and
          financial condition remain sound at the end of the second quarter
          of 1997.
               The increase in cash of $1,941,617 resulted primarily from
          cash provided by financing activities of $5,902,530.  This cash
          was obtained from loans from shareholders in the amount of
          $3,400,000 and an increase in short term borrowings of
          $2,407,879.  Holders of 1,275,000 of the Company's options gave
          notice, effective July 7, 1997, to exercise their options into
          common stock, thereby increasing equity by approximately
          $1,147,500, and reducing the loans from shareholders by the same
          amount.
               Cash of $3,058,528 was used in operating activities during
          the first six months of 1997.  The largest use of cash is the
          cash and cash equivalents segregated under federal and other
          regulations increase of $97,751,936.  The cash position of the
          company remains strong as the Company liquidated $2,500,000 of
          this segregated cash on July 1, 1997.
               The largest source of operating cash was provided from net
          amounts due to/from customers of $44,666,159.  The net amounts
          due to/from brokers also contributed over 44 million to the
          operating cash of the Company.
               The Company used cash of $902,385 for investing activities
          in the acquisition of property and equipment.


          Recent Expansions and Developments

               Trade volumes and revenues continued their significant
          growth from the first quarter into the second of 1997.  Revenues
          for the second quarter of 1997 were $18.2 million, an increase
          over the trailing first quarter of  $2.6 million or 17%.  Total
          average daily trades cleared by JBOC increased in June 1997 over
          March 1997 by 28%.  Of this increase, 79% was due to
          correspondent business.
               The traditional retail discount business continues to expand
          as does JBOC's electronic trading division, JB On-lineO.  Sales
          of mutual funds and fixed income products continue to grow at
          record levels as the company continues to expand its product
          base.  A new insurance subsidiary was recently formed in
          anticipation of offering annuity and other insurance related
          products.  The Company's branch office system has room for growth
          and Management intends to concentrate on increasing the number of
          sales professionals in all branch offices by at least 50% over
          the next six months.  In this way, the Company believes revenues
          can be leveraged with minimal increase in operating expenses.
          JBOC's on-line business continues to expand, and over 1,000
          executions a day are currently being transacted.  During  the
          second quarter of 1997, the Company funded and activated a new
          subsidiary, Stocks4Less, Inc. (_S4L_).  In order to capitalize on
          emerging trends in the electronic brokerage industry, S4L was
          established as a separate broker/dealer to provide deep, deep
          discount electronic trading services to retail accounts for the
          trading of equities and options.  S4L offers services through
          multiple access points including the Internet (at
          http://www.stocks4less.com), direct modem access via a personal
          computer, and touch-tone telephones.
               The Company continues to build its management infrastructure
          to manage its growth.  Al Laubenstein, former Compliance Director
          of JBOC, was promoted to Executive Vice President of
          Administration and Ian Kott, former Director of Operations of
          JBOC, was named Chief Operating Officer.  Messrs. Laubenstein and
          Kott will be involved in overseeing all aspects of day-to-day
          operations of JBOC.  Additionally, JBOC has added middle
          management staff to more efficiently handle operations.
               The Company believes that efficient communications and
          modern technology are keys to sustaining the Company's growth.
          It continues to invest in these areas.  Management also believes
          that expanding JBOC's trading/market making capabilities will
          enable it to internalize more order flow as a consequence of its
          increased business.  This has become more of an issue for JBOC as
          order flow rebates received from wholesalers of securities have
          shrunk by significant percentages due to the effect of new
          regulatory order handling rules.  During 1997, in order to
          finance its growth, the Company relied primarily on increased
          retained earnings but  Management of the Company is now
          investigating alternative sources of equity and debt financing.
               At a recent meeting of the Board of Directors of the
          Company, held in July 1997, Stephen Rubenstein resigned his
          position as Chairman of the Board of the Company;  Mr. Rubenstein
          retains his title as President and Chief Executive Officer,
          having negotiated a new three year employment contract which will
          take him through April of the year 2000.  In his place, Felix
          Oeri was named Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company.
          Mr. Oeri is the Chairman of Oeri Finance Inc., the Company's
          largest shareholder, and heads the international brokerage
          business of JBOC from its branch office in Basel, Switzerland.
          Management believes that the Company and its shareholders will be
          better served if Mr. Rubenstein is allowed to devote more time to
          carrying out the business plan for growing the business.



                             PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

          Item 1.        Legal Proceedings

               In the ordinary conduct of business, the Company and/or its
          subsidiaries have been named as Defendants in several lawsuits
          and arbitration matters or have instituted legal proceedings as
          plaintiffs to recover moneys owing.   There have been no material
          pending legal proceedings other than ordinary routine litigation
          incidental to the business.  Those which may have a significant
          impact on the Company have been disclosed in previous filings.
          Two matters previously addressed have been decided as follows:


          Beachport Entertainment Corporation vs. JB Oxford & Company, et.
          al.   LA Superior Court Case No. BC 127 221

               In a civil litigation matter filed in May 1995, Plaintiffs
          alleged that JBOC had breached an investment banking agreement
          entered into by JBOC and Beachport, JBOC had breached fiduciary
          duties, and made affirmative misrepresentations to Beachport
          concerning the agreement.  A jury trial commenced during the
          second quarter of 1997.  The matter was settled by the parties
          after conclusion of the jury trial, but prior to the reading of
          any award.  Payment of the settlement amount by the Company
          resulted in an after tax non-recurring charge of $900,000.  The
          settlement terms also included the Company purchasing 486,486
          shares of Beachport common stock for investment.


          Robert F. Smith vs. Reynolds Kendrick Stratton, Inc., William
          Stratton, Wm. Michael Reynolds, et. al.  NASD Arbitration No. 94-
          00519

               In an arbitration matter filed in February 1994, the
          claimant sought rescission of certain sales in his customer
          account and damages of $750,000.  This matter was settled by the
          parties in July 1997;  the settlement did not have a material
          impact on the Company's earnings.

          Item 2.   Changes in Securities
               There has been no material modification of ownership rights
          of securities holders.  The broker/dealer subsidiaries, as part
          of their normal broker/dealer activity, have minimum capital
          requirements as imposed by regulatory agencies.  These
          requirements may restrict the payment of dividends.

          Item 3.   Defaults Upon Senior Securities
               There has been no default in payments of the Company.

          Item 4.   Submission of Matters to Vote of Security Holders
               There have been no matters submitted to a vote of security
          holders during this reporting period.

          Item 5.   Other Information
               There have been no matters that require disclosure under
          this item.
