                      REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


February 12, 1997

To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of
Rittenhouse Financial Services, Inc.

In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheet and the related  statements of
income, of changes in stockholder's equity and of cash flows present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Rittenhouse Financial
Services, Inc. (the "Company") at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results
of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.  These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.  We
conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards which 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, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

1.  BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

    Rittenhouse Financial Services, Inc. ("RFS" or the "Company") is registered
    as an investment advisor under Section 203 of the Investment Advisors Act 
    of 1940.  RFS has provided investment management services to endowments,
    foundations, retirement plans and other institutional clients since the
    Company's incorporation in 1979.  The Broker Sponsored division of RFS
    provides investment management services for clients referred by stock
    brokerage firms.  The sole stockholder of RFS is also the sole stockholder
    of The Rittenhouse Trust Company ("RTC"), a state-chartered trust company
    and commercial bank under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.  RTC
    owns all of the outstanding stock of Rittenhouse Financial Securities, Inc.
    ("RFSecurities"), a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and
    Exchange Commission.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    Advisory Fees.  RFS computes revenue for advisory fees by applying a
    client's contracted rate to the market value of each client's investment
    portfolio on a quarterly basis.  Income is recognized as earned.

    Cash and Cash Equivalents.  Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid  
    investments, generally with original maturities of three months or less,
    that consist of demand deposits, money market funds and certificates of
    deposit.

    Fixed Assets.  Furniture, fixtures, equipment and leasehold improvements 
    are stated at cost less allowances for depreciation and amortization. 
    Depreciation on furniture, fixtures and equipment is provided using the
    straight-line method over estimated useful lives of three to ten years. 
    Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lease terms.

    Income Taxes.  The Company has elected to be taxed as an "S" corporation 
    for federal and state income tax purposes.  As an "S" corporation, all 
    federal and state income taxes are payable by the sole stockholder and not 
    by the Company.

    Investments.  RFS holds investments in marketable equity securities which
    are classified as available for sale.  The securities are carried at fair
    value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of
    stockholder's equity.

3.  NOTES PAYABLE

    At December 31, 1996, notes payable consisted of:

<TABLE>
      <S>                                                       <C>
      Term loan payable to a bank on April 30, 1999;
        interest at 1% per year.                                $   300,000

      Demand notes payable to stockholder; interest at 
        prime plus 1% per year                                      300,000

      Note payable to stockholder on January 31, 1997;  
        automatically extended for six month periods at the
        stockholder's option; interest at prime plus 1% per
        year                                                        700,000
                                                                -----------

             Total notes payable                                $ 1,300,000
                                                                ===========

</TABLE>

    The notes payable to a bank are secured by an unrestricted balance
    maintained by RTC in the form of a non-interest bearing deposit at the
    lending bank of $300,000 ($400,000 at December 31, 1995). If this deposit is
    withdrawn during the term of the notes, the lending bank will increase the
    interest rate charged on the notes to 1% over the bank's base lending rate
    and will assess a 1% fee on the outstanding principal balance.

    The note payable to stockholder was extended to July 31, 1997.

4.  TAXES

    Taxes receivable of $421,224 and $578,474 at December 31, 1996 and 1995
    relate to a federal income tax refund which originated prior to the
    Company's "S" corporation election in 1993.

    Prior to January 1, 1993, RFS filed a consolidated federal income tax
    return as  a "C" corporation with RTC and RFSecurities. The Internal
    Revenue Service (IRS) has examined the consolidated tax return of RFS, a
    "C" Corporation prior to January 1, 1993, for the year ended December 31,
    1992. In addition, the IRS has examined RFS's claim for refund relating to
    its consolidated tax return for the year ended December 31, 1991. In
    January 1996, the IRS issued its report for the year ended December 31,
    1992 and assessed additional tax due of $824,000 plus interest of $208,000.
    Also in January 1996, the IRS denied RFS's claim for refund for 1991. RFS
    did not contest the IRS's assessment for 1992 and recorded a federal and
    state tax provision in 1995. RFS has vigorously continued to pursue its
    claim for refund for 1991 through the tax appeal system. Based on the
    present negotiations with the IRS, management believes that the amount
    refundable will be reduced by approximately 25%. As a result, taxes
    receivable have been reduced to $421,224 which resulted in a charge to
    operations of $157,250.

    relationships established under investment management agreements with stock
    brokerage firms. One of those relationships accounted for $11,517,300 and
    $9,758,881 of advisory fee revenue in 1996 and 1995, respectively.

    "The Rittenhouse Financial Services, Inc. Employees' Retirement Plan", a 
    non-contributory defined benefit plan, was terminated as of August 31, 1995,
    and "The Rittenhouse Companies 401(k) Plan" was amended effective January
    1, 1995 to include a thirty-five percent company match of the participants'
    contributions. The matching contribution expense for the year ended December
    31, 1996 and December 31, 1995 was $114,075 and $94,114, respectively.

8.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

    RFS provides to RTC and RFSecurities personnel time and certain
    administrative services, the costs of which are allocated to RTC and
    RFSecurities based upon assets under management, time spent by employees
    and other reasonable bases. In addition, RFS pays expenses incurred by
    RTC and RFSecurities and charges them for the actual expenses paid on their
    behalf.

                            THE JOHN NUVEEN COMPANY

            Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements





The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of income for the
year ended  December 31, 1996 and the nine month period ended September 30,
1997, give effect to the acquisition of Rittenhouse Financial Services, Inc. by
The John Nuveen Company as if such acquisition had occurred on January 1, 1996.
These unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of income are not necessarily
indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved had such
acquisition actually occurred on such date, or of the future results of
operations of the Company. The pro forma adjustments set forth below reflect 
only purchase accounting adjustments and other adjustments that reflect
obligations required under the Stock Purchase Agreement dated July 14, 1997
("the Agreement"). They do not reflect any benefits or cost savings anticipated
as a result of the merger except for certain stockholder related expenses as
described in Note 3 below. The pro forma adjustments are based on available
information and certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable.

The pro forma adjustments are applied to the historical consolidated financial
statements of the Company, using the purchase method of accounting and
information available. Under purchase accounting, the acquisition cost of such
ownership interest will be allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired
based on their relative fair value as of the closing date of the transaction,
with any excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of the assets
acquired less the fair value of the liabilities assumed recorded as goodwill.
The final allocations may be different from the amounts reflected herein; 
management of the Company believes that any adjustments will not have a 
material financial impact.

Acquisition Adjustments

Pro forma adjustments to give effect to the acquisition are summarized as
follows:

1.   Revenue from certain assets under management not included as part of the
     acquisition have been removed from Investment Advisory Fees.

2.   Interest income and interest expense have been adjusted to reflect the
     lower cash balances available for investing as a result of, and the debt
     incurred pursuant to, the transaction.

<PAGE>   5

3.   Expense has been adjusted to reflect compensation paid to the former
     controlling shareholder and certain others who did not become employees of
     the Company.  Profit sharing expense, included in  compensation and
     benefits, has also been adjusted to reflect the effects of the
     transaction.

4.   Adjustment reflects the amortization over 30 years of the estimated
     goodwill arising from the transaction.

5.   Adjustment reflects the effect of other expenses directly related to the
     transaction which would not otherwise have been incurred.

6.   All applicable pro forma adjustments, as well as the pretax earnings of
     Rittenhouse (formerly an S-Corporation), were tax effected at the
     appropriate rate.
