NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

Consolidated Financial Statements

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Jefferies Group, Inc. (“Group”) and all its subsidiaries (“Company”), including Jefferies & Company, Inc. (“JEFCO”). The accounts of W & D Securities, Inc. (“W & D”) are consolidated because of the nature and extent of Group’s ownership interest in W & D. The Company and its subsidiaries operate and are managed as a single business segment, that of a securities broker-dealer, which includes several types of financial services, such as principal and agency transactions in equity, convertible debt and high yield, as well as corporate finance activities. Since the Company’s services are provided using the same distribution channels, support services and facilities and all are provided to meet client needs, the Company does not identify assets or allocate all expenses to any service or class of service as a separate business segment.

     All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair statement of the results for the interim periods and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report for the year ended December 31, 2000.

Securities Transactions

     All transactions in securities, commission revenues and related expenses are recorded on a trade-date basis.

Securities owned and securities sold, not yet purchased, are valued at market, and unrealized gains or losses are reflected in revenues from principal transactions.

Reclassifications

     Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period’s amounts to conform to the current period’s presentation.

Helfant Acquisition

     To expand its floor brokerage operations, the Company acquired Lawrence Helfant, Inc. (“Helfant”) in the third quarter of 2001, with a combination of stock and cash totaling approximately $30.3 million.

Net Capital Requirements

     As registered broker-dealers, JEFCO, and W & D and Helfant are subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1), which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital. JEFCO and W & D have elected to use the alternative method permitted by the Rule, which requires that they each maintain minimum net capital, as defined, equal to the greater of $250,000 or 2% of the aggregate debit balances arising from customer transactions, as defined. Helfant has elected to use the aggregate indebtedness standard permitted by the Rule, which requires it to maintain its aggregate indebtedness to all other persons at less than 1500 percent of its net capital.

     Net capital changes from day to day, but as of June 29,September 28, 2001, JEFCO’s, and W & D’s and Helfant’s net capital was $144.7$125.0 million, $1.9 million and $2.4$3.3 million, respectively, which exceeded minimum net capital requirements by $141.0$120.5 million, $1.6 million and $2.1$3.0 million, respectively.

Quarterly Dividends

     In 1988, the Company instituted a policy of paying regular quarterly dividends. There are no restrictions on the Company’s present ability to pay dividends on common stock, other than the governing provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Off-Balance Sheet Risk

     In the normal course of business, the Company had letters of credit outstanding aggregating $32.8 million at June 29,September 28, 2001, to satisfy various collateral requirements in lieu of depositing cash or securities.

Segment Reporting

     The company’s operations have been classified into a single business segment, a securities broker-dealer, which includes several types of financial services. This segment includes the traditional securities brokerage and investment banking activities of the Company. The Company’s business is predominantly in the United States with less than 10% of revenues and approximately 2% of assets attributable to international operations.

New Accounting Pronouncements

     In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued two Statements: Statement No. 141, “Business Combinations”, and Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”.

     Those Statements will change the accounting for business combinations and goodwill in two significant ways. First, Statement 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Use of the pooling-of-interests method will be prohibited. Second, Statement 142 changes the accounting for goodwill from an amortization method to an impairment-only approach. Thus, amortization of goodwill, including goodwill recorded in past business combinations, will cease upon adoption of that Statement, which, for companies with calendar year ends, will be January 1, 2002. The implementation of these statements is not expected to have a material impact on the Company.

Goodwill

     Goodwill which represents the excess of cost over net assets acquired is amortized on a straight-line basis over ten years and relates to the acquisition of The Europe Company Ltd. in the third quarter of 2000. At June 29, 2001, excess of purchase price over net assets acquired remaining was $11.7 million, net of accumulated amortization of $1.2 million and is included in other assets. The following is a summary of goodwill as of September 28, 2001 (in thousands of dollars):
