FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS





The Companys management has made in this report, and from time to time may make in its public filings and press releases as well as in oral
presentations and discussions, forward-looking statements concerning the Companys operations, economic performance, prospects and financial condition. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, discussions concerning the
Companys potential exposure to market risks, as well as statements expressing managements expectations, beliefs, estimates, forecasts, projections and assumptions, as indicated by words such as believes,
estimates, intends, anticipates, expects, projects, should, probably, risk, target, goals, objectives, or similar
expressions. The Company claims the protection afforded by the safe harbor for forward-looking statements as set forth in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are subject to many risks and uncertainties.
Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by forward-looking statements due to a number of important factors including those discussed elsewhere in this report and in the Companys other public filings, press releases, oral
presentations and discussions and the following: venture capital gains or losses could differ significantly from our assumptions because of further significant changes in equity values; fees from assets under management could be significantly higher
or lower than we have assumed if there are further major movements in the equity markets; the value of our overall investment portfolio could fluctuate significantly as a result of additional major changes in the equity and debt markets generally;
actual death claims experience could differ significantly from our mortality assumptions; we may have as-yet unascertained tax liabilities; sales of variable products, mutual funds and equity securities could differ materially from our assumptions
because of further unexpected developments in the equity markets and changes in demand for such products; major changes in interest rates could affect our earnings; we could have liability from as-yet unknown or unquantified litigation and claims;
pending or known litigation or claims could result in larger settlements or judgments than we anticipate; the Company may have higher operating expenses than anticipated; changes in law or regulation, including tax laws, could materially affect the
demand for the Companys products and the Companys net income after tax; and the Company may not achieve the assumed economic benefits of consolidating acquired enterprises. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any
forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

THE MONY GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES





NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED


CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS





1.    Organization and Description of Business:





On November 16, 1998, pursuant to its Plan of Reorganization (the Plan) which was approved by the New York Superintendent of
Insurance on the same day (the Plan Effective Date), The Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York (MONY) converted from a mutual life insurance company to a stock life insurance company (the Demutualization) and
became a wholly owned subsidiary of The MONY Group Inc. (MONY Group), a Delaware corporation organized on June 24, 1997. In connection with the Plan, MONY established a Closed Block (Closed Block) to fund the guaranteed
benefits and dividends of certain participating insurance policies, and eligible policyholders received cash, policy credits, or shares of common stock of the MONY Group in exchange for their membership interests in MONY. Also, on November 16, 1998,
the MONY Group consummated an initial public offering (the Offering) of approximately 12.9 million shares of its common stock and MONY changed its name to MONY Life Insurance Company. The shares of common stock issued in the Offering are
in addition to approximately 34.3 million shares of common stock of the MONY Group distributed to the aforementioned policyholders. As used in these financial statements, the Company shall be a reference to MONY Group and its direct and
indirect subsidiaries; MONY Life shall be a reference to MONY Life Insurance Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries and the Transaction shall be a collective reference to the Plan and Offerings.





The Company provides life insurance, annuities, mutual funds, brokerage, asset
management, business and estate planning, trust and investment banking products and services to individual and institutional clients.





The Company distributes its products and services primarily through its career agency sales force, Advest financial advisors and various complementary distribution channels.
Complementary distribution includes: (i) sales of mutual funds by Enterprise Capital Management, a Company subsidiary, through third-party broker dealers, (ii) sales of Protection Products sold by U.S. Financial Life Insurance Company
(USFL), also a Company subsidiary, through brokerage general agencies, (iii) sales of corporate-owned life insurance (COLI) products by the Companys corporate marketing team and (iv) sales of a variety of financial
products and services through the Companys Trusted Securities Advisors Corp. subsidiary. The Company primarily sells its products in all 50 of the United States, the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.





2.    Acquisitions:





On January 31, 2001, the Company completed a merger in which it acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of The Advest Group, Inc. (Advest)
in exchange for approximately $308.2 million of consideration (including transaction and other acquisition related expenses of approximately $15.0 million) consisting of cash of approximately $165.9 million and 3.9 million shares of common stock of
the MONY Group with a fair value of approximately $142.3 million.





As a result of the merger, Advest became a wholly owned subsidiary of the MONY Group Inc. Advest, through its principal operating subsidiaries Advest Inc., a securities
broker-dealer, and Advest Bank and Trust Company, a federal savings bank, provides diversified financial services including, securities brokerage, trading, investment banking, trust and asset management services. The transaction was accounted for
under the purchase method of accounting. Goodwill recorded in connection with the transaction approximated $157.2 million and is being amortized on a straight line basis over 20 years. Goodwill was increased by $22.2 million during the second
quarter primarily reflecting costs incurred in connection with the outsourcing of Advests clearing operations which was contemplated at the date of acquisition. In connection with the transaction, a retention program was established for
certain Advest personnel, which is expected to cost, on a present value basis, approximately $45.0 million over the five-year period commencing from the date the transaction was consummated. Pursuant to the terms of this retention program the
Company expects to record a charge of




9


---





$7.5 million in each of the two 12 month periods following the date the transaction was consummated and $10.0 million in each of the three succeeding 12 month periods. In addition, a separate
retention program was established for certain of Advests key management personnel that could result in total costs of approximately $15.0 million, depending upon the achievement of specified performance goals, over the two year period
following the date the Advest Acquisition was consummated.





Effective January 1, 2001, the Company acquired 100% of the equity of Matrix Capital Markets Group Inc. and Matrix Private Equities, Inc. (together, Matrix), for $12.1
million in cash, plus the obligation to make certain contingent payments in the event that Matrix achieves certain profit goals. Matrix primarily provides investment banking services to middle market companies. The transaction was accounted for
under the purchase method of accounting. Goodwill recorded in connection with the transaction was approximately $11.1 million and is being amortized on a straight line basis over 15 years.





3.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:





| | Basis of Presentation
| | ---------------------




The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
in the United States (GAAP). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In the opinion of management these statements include all normal recurring adjustments
necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented in conformity with GAAP. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of
the Company for the year ended December 31, 2000, which are presented in MONY Groups Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 (MONY Groups 2000 Annual Report). The results of operations for the
three-month and nine-month period ended September 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Certain reclassifications have been made in the amounts presented for the comparative prior periods to conform
those periods to the current presentation.





| | New Accounting Pronouncements
| | -----------------------------




On December 26, 2000 the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 00-3, Accounting by Insurance Enterprises for
Demutualizations and Formations of Mutual Insurance Holding Companies and For Certain Long-Duration Participating Contracts (SOP 00-3). SOP 00-3 provides guidance with respect to accounting for Demutualizations and requires, among
other things, that (i) Closed Block assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses should be displayed in financial statements combined with all other assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses outside the Closed Block, and (ii) Demutualization
expenses be classified as a single line item within income from continuing operations. The guidance in SOP 00-3 requires restatement of financial statements presented for years prior to its issuance and is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2000, except as it pertains to demutualization expenses which was effective immediately upon its issuance. The financial statements herein reflect the adoption of SOP 00-3. Accordingly, the consolidated statements of income and
comprehensive income and balance sheets presented herein for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000 have been restated from those previously reported in the prior year to conform the presentation thereof to that required by
SOP 00-3.





In the first quarter of 2001, the Company adopted SFAS
133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133). SFAS 133 requires all derivatives to be recognized in the statement of




10


---





financial position as either assets or liabilities and measured at fair value. The corresponding derivative gains and losses should be reported based on the hedge relationship, if any, that
exists. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are not designated as hedges or that do not meet the hedge accounting criteria in SFAS 133, are required to be reported in earnings. SFAS 133, is effective for all fiscal quarters of the fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS 133 did not have a significant affect on the Companys financial position or results of operations.





In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140 Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities, a
replacement of SFAS No. 125 (SFAS 140). SFAS No. 140 specifies the accounting and reporting requirements for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets and collateral, recognition and measurement of servicing assets and
liabilities and the extinguishment of liabilities. SFAS No. 140 is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after March 31, 2001 and is to be applied prospectively with certain
exceptions. This statement is effective for recognition and reclassification of collateral and for disclosures relating to securitization transactions and collateral for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000. Adoption of the new requirements
did not have a significant impact on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.





In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations (SFAS 141). SFAS 141 addresses the financial accounting and reporting for all business
combinations. This statement requires that all business combinations be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and abolishes the use of the pooling-of-interest method, requires separate recognition of intangible assets that can be
identified and named, and expands required disclosures. All of the Companys past business combinations have been accounted for under the purchase accounting method. The provisions of this statement apply to all business combinations initiated
after June 30, 2001. This statement has no effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.





In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). This statement addresses (i) how intangible assets that are acquired
individually or with a group of other assets (but not those acquired in a business combination) should be accounted for in financial statements upon their acquisition and (ii) how goodwill and other intangible assets should be accounted for after
they have been initially recognized in the financial statements. Under SFAS 142, Companys will no longer amortize goodwill on a straight-line basis over a predetermined period of time. SFAS 142 requires companies to evaluate recoverability of
goodwill at least annually, and more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that goodwill may not be recoverable. FAS 142 requires amortization of identified intangibles with finite useful lives over their expected useful lives. This
statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company is in the process of evaluating the effect of SFAS 142 on its financial position and results of operations, but does not expect it to have an adverse material
effect.





| | New Accounting Policies
| | -----------------------




Following is a summary of significant accounting policies for certain new line items appearing in the Companys 2001 financial statements for the first
time due to the acquisition of Advest.





| | Receivables from and payables to brokerage customers
| | ----------------------------------------------------




Receivables from and payables to brokerage customers arise from cash and margin transactions executed by Advest on their behalf. In
virtually all instances, receivables are collateralized by securities with market values in excess of the amounts due. The collateral is not reflected in the accompanying financial statements. A reserve for doubtful accounts is established based
upon reviews of individual credit risks, as well as prevailing and




11


---





anticipated economic conditions. Included in payables to brokerage customers are free credit balances of $178.9 million as of September 30, 2001. Advest pays interest on customers credit
balances when they indicate that the funds are for reinvestment purposes.





| | Collateralized financing transactions
| | -------------------------------------




Securities loaned and borrowed are accounted for as collateralized financing transactions and are recorded at the amount of cash collateral received or
advanced. The fee received or paid by Advest is recorded as interest revenue or expense and is reflected in Retail Brokerage and Investment Banking revenues and other operating costs and expenses, respectively, in the consolidated statement of
income. The initial collateral advanced or received has a higher market value than the underlying securities. The Company monitors the market value of securities borrowed and loaned on a daily basis, with additional collateral obtained or refunded,
as necessary.





Advest utilizes short-term repurchase agreements as
supplementary short-term financing and delivers U.S. Treasury securities as collateral for cash received. These repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateralized financings. The fee paid by Advest is recorded as interest expense. Advest
monitors the market value of securities transferred on a daily basis, and obtains or refunds collateral as necessary.





| | Securities
| | ----------




Advests trading securities and securities sold, not yet purchased are valued at market value with unrealized gains and losses reflected in current period revenues from
principal transactions or investment banking. Periodically, Advest receives stock warrants in connection with its investment banking activities. Warrants are carried at their fair value which is determined using the Black-Scholes model or another
standard option valuation technique. The value of such warrants and changes therein are reflected in earnings.





At September 30, 2001, trading securities, securities pledged as collateral and securities sold, not yet purchased consisted of:

| | Investment banking
| | ------------------




Investment banking revenues are recorded, net of expenses, on the settlement date for management fees and sales concessions, and on the dates the underwriting syndications are
closed for underwriting fees. Investment banking revenues are included in Retail Brokerage and Investment Banking revenues in the consolidated statement of income.





| | Short term borrowings
| | ---------------------




In the ordinary course of business, primarily to facilitate securities settlements and finance margin debits and trading inventories, Advest obtains bank loans which are
collateralized by its trading securities and customers




12


---





margin securities. The loans are payable on demand and bear interest based on the federal funds rate. At September 30, 2001, Advest had $539.8 million outstanding in bank loans, all
collateralized by firm and customer securities. The weighted average interest rate on Advest bank loans outstanding at September 30, 2001, was 4.61%.





4.    Segment Information:





For management and reporting purposes, the Companys business is organized in three principal operating segments, the Protection Products segment, the
Accumulation Products segment and the Retail Brokerage and Investment Banking segment. Substantially all of the Companys other business activities are combined and reported in the Other Products segment.





Products comprising the Protection Products segment primarily
include a wide range of insurance products, including: whole life, term life, universal life, variable universal life, corporate-owned life insurance, last survivor whole life, last survivor universal life, last survivor variable universal life,
group universal life and special-risk products. In addition, included in the protection products segment are: (i) the assets and liabilities transferred pursuant to the Group Pension Transaction, as well as the Group Pension Profits derived
therefrom (see Note 5), (ii) the Closed Block assets and liabilities, as well as all the related revenues and expenses relating thereto.





The Accumulation Products segment primarily includes flexible premium variable annuities, single premium deferred annuities, single premium immediate
annuities, proprietary mutual funds, investment management services, and certain other financial services products.





The Retail Brokerage and Investment Banking segment is comprised of the operations of Advest, Matrix and MONY Securities Corporation (MSC). Advest provides diversified
financial services including securities brokerage, trading, investment banking, trust and asset management services. Matrix is a middle market investment bank specializing in merger and acquisition services for a middle market client base. MSC is a
securities broker dealer that transacts customer trades primarily in securities and mutual funds. In addition to selling the Companys Protection and Accumulation Products, MSC provides the Companys career agency distribution system
access to other non-proprietary investment products (including stocks, bonds, limited partnership interests, tax-exempt unit investment trusts and other investment securities). MSC was previously reported in the Other Products segment. The segmented
data presented below as of December 31, 2000 and for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000 has been restated from that reported in the prior year period to reflect the reclassification of MSC from the Other Products segment
to the Retail Brokerage and Investment Banking segment.





The
Companys Other Products segments primarily consists of an insurance brokerage operation and certain lines of insurance business no longer written by the Company (the run-off businesses). The insurance brokerage operation provides
the Companys career agency sales force with access to variable life, annuity, small group health and specialty insurance products written by other carriers to meet the insurance and investment needs of its customers. The run off businesses
primarily consist of group life and health business as well as group pension business that was not included in the Group Pension Transaction (see Note 5).





Amounts reported as reconciling amounts in the table below primarily relate to: (i) contracts issued by the Company relating to its employee
benefit plans and, (ii) assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the MONY Group.





Set forth in the following table is certain financial information with respect to the Companys operating segments as well as amounts not allocated to the segments as of
September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 and for each the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001 and 2000.

6.    Commitments and Contingencies:





Since late 1995 a number of purported class actions have been commenced in
various state and federal courts against the Company alleging that it engaged in deceptive sales practices in connection with the sale of whole and universal life insurance policies from the early 1980s through the mid 1990s. Although the claims
asserted in each case are not identical, they seek substantially the same relief under essentially the same theories of recovery (i.e., breach of contract, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, negligent supervision and training, breach of fiduciary
duty, unjust enrichment and violation of state insurance and/or deceptive business practice laws). Plaintiffs in these cases seek primarily equitable relief (e.g., reformation, specific performance, mandatory injunctive relief prohibiting the
Company from canceling policies for failure to make required premium payments, imposition of a constructive trust and creation of a claims resolution facility to adjudicate any individual issues remaining after resolution of all class-wide issues)
as opposed to compensatory damages, although they also seek compensatory damages in unspecified amounts. The Company has answered the complaints in each action (except for one being voluntarily held in abeyance). The Company has denied any
wrongdoing and has asserted numerous affirmative defenses.





On June
7, 1996, the New York State Supreme Court certified one of those cases, Goshen v. The Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York and MONY Life Insurance Company of America (now known as DeFilippo, et al v. The Mutual Life Insurance Company
of New York and MONY Life Insurance Company of America), the first of the class actions filed, as a nationwide class consisting of all persons or entities who have, or at the time of the policys termination had, an ownership interest in a
whole or universal life insurance policy issued by MONY and sold on an alleged vanishing premium basis during the period January 1, 1982 to December 31, 1995. On March 27, 1997, MONY filed a motion to dismiss or, alternatively, for
summary judgment on all counts of the complaint. All of the other putative class actions have been consolidated and transferred by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation to the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts
and/or are being held in abeyance pending the outcome of the Goshen case.





On October 21, 1997, the New York State Supreme Court granted MONYs motion for summary judgment and dismissed all claims filed in the Goshen case against MONY. On
December 20, 1999, the New York State Court of Appeals affirmed the dismissal of all but one of the claims in the Goshen case (a claim under New Yorks General Business Law), which has been remanded back to the New York State Supreme
Court for further




18


---





proceedings consistent with the opinion. The New York State Supreme Court has subsequently reaffirmed that, for purposes of the remaining New York General Business Law claim, the class is now
limited to New York purchasers only, and has further held that the New York General Business Law claims of all class members whose claims accrued prior to November 29, 1992 are barred by the applicable statute of limitations. MONY intends to defend
itself vigorously against the sole remaining claim. There can be no assurance, however, that the present litigation relating to sales practices will not have a material adverse effect on MONY.





On November 16, 1999, The MONY Group Inc. and MONY Life Insurance Company were served with a complaint
in an action entitled Calvin Chatlos, M.D., and Alvin H. Clement, On Behalf of Themselves And All Others Similarly Situated v. The MONY Life Insurance Company, The MONY Group Inc., and Neil D. Levin, Superintendent, New York Department of
Insurance, filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The action purports to be brought as a class action on behalf of all individuals who had an ownership interest in one or more in-force life insurance
policies issued by MONY Life Insurance Company as of November 16, 1998. The complaint alleges that (i) the New York Superintendent of Insurance, Neil D. Levin, violated Section 7312 of the New York Insurance Law by approving the plan of
demutualization, which plaintiffs claim was not fair and adequate, primarily because it allegedly failed to provide for sufficient assets for the mechanism established under the plan to preserve reasonable dividend expectations of the Closed Block,
and (ii) MONY violated Section 7312 by failing to develop and submit to the Superintendent a plan of demutualization that was fair and adequate. The plaintiffs seek equitable relief in the form of an order vacating and/or modifying the
Superintendents order approving the plan of demutualization and/or directing the Superintendent to order MONY to increase the assets in the Closed Block, as well as unspecified monetary damages, attorneys fees and other relief.





In early January 2000, MONY and the New York Superintendent wrote
to the District Court seeking a pre-motion conference preliminary to the filing of a motion to dismiss the federal complaint on jurisdictional, federal abstention and timeliness grounds and for failure to state a claim. Following receipt of those
letters, plaintiffs counsel offered voluntarily to dismiss their complaint, and a stipulation and order to that effect was thereafter filed and approved by the court.





On March 27, 2000, plaintiffs filed a new action in New York State Supreme Court bearing the same caption and naming the same defendants
as the previously filed federal action. The state court complaint differs from the complaint previously filed in federal court in two primary respects. First, it no longer asserts a claim for damages against the Superintendent, nor does its prayer
for relief seek entry of an order vacating or modifying the Superintendents decision or requiring the Superintendent to direct MONY to place additional assets into the Closed Block. Rather, it seeks an accounting and an order from the Court
directing MONY to transfer additional assets to the Closed Block.





Second, the new complaint contains claims for breach of contract and fiduciary duty, as well as new allegations regarding the adequacy of the disclosures contained in the
Policyholder Information Booklet distributed to policyholders soliciting their approval of the plan of demutualization (which plaintiffs claim violated both the Insurance Law and MONYs fiduciary duties).





In order to challenge successfully the New York Superintendents approval of the plan, plaintiffs
would have to sustain the burden of showing that such approval was arbitrary and capricious or an abuse of discretion, made in violation of lawful procedures, affected by an error of law or not supported by substantial evidence. In addition, Section
7312 provides that MONY may ask the court to require the challenging party to give security for the reasonable expenses, including attorneys fees, which may be incurred by MONY or the Superintendent




19


---





or for which MONY may become liable, to which security MONY shall have recourse in such amount as the court shall determine upon the termination of the action.





MONY and the Superintendent moved to dismiss the state court complaint in its
entirety on a variety of grounds. On April 20, 2001, the New York Supreme Court granted both motions and dismissed all claims against MONY and the Superintendent. On June 29, 2001 plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal with the New York Appellate
Division, appealing the dismissal of the claims against MONY and the Superintendent. MONY intends to defend itself vigorously against plaintiffs appeal. There can be no assurance, however, that the present litigation will not have a material
adverse effect on MONY.





In addition to the matters discussed
above, the Company is involved in various other legal actions and proceedings (some of which involve demands for unspecified damages) in connection with its business. In the opinion of management of the Company, resolution of contingent liabilities,
income taxes and other matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.





At September 30, 2001, the Company had commitments to contribute capital to its equity partnership investments of $119.4 million and commitments to purchase
$76.7 million of private fixed and floating rate maturity securities with interest rates ranging from 4.53% to 8.16%.





At September 30, 2001, the Company had commitments to issue $6.1 million of fixed rate agricultural loans with periodic interest rate reset dates. The initial interest rates on
such loans range from approximately 6.25% to 7.50%. In addition, the Company had commitments to issue $137.5 million of fixed rate and floating rate commercial mortgage loans with interest rates ranging from 5.39% to 8.65%.





At September 30, 2001, the Company had commitments to issue $14.2 million of
mezzanine financing with pay rates ranging from 8.26% to 10.00%.





In addition, the Company maintains a syndicated credit facility with domestic banks aggregating $150.0 million, with a scheduled renewal date in June 2002. In accordance with
certain covenants of the facilities, the Company is required to maintain a certain statutory tangible net worth and debt to capitalization ratio. The purpose of this facility is to provide additional liquidity for any unanticipated short-term cash
needs the Company might experience and also to serve as support for the Companys $150.0 million commercial paper program which was activated in the third quarter of 2000. The Company has complied with all covenants of the facilities, has not
borrowed against these lines of credit since their inception, and does not have any commercial paper outstanding as of September 30, 2001.





At September 30, 2001 Advest was contingently liable under bank letter of credit agreements in the amount of $5.3 million, which are collateralized by
securities held in customer accounts.

For the three-month
periods ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, there were $0.0 million and $5.6 million in charges for other than temporary impairments on fixed maturities in the Closed Block. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, there were $4.7
million and $10.1 million, respectively, in charges for other than temporary impairments on fixed maturity securities in the Closed Block.





8.    Extraordinary Item and Other Items:





On March 8, 2000, the MONY Group issued $300.0 million principal amount of senior notes (the Senior Notes). The Senior Notes mature on March 15, 2010 and bear interest
at 8.35% per annum. The principal amount of the Senior Notes is payable at maturity and interest is payable semi-annually. The net proceeds to the MONY Group from the issuance of the Senior Notes, after deducting underwriting commissions and other
expenses (primarily legal and accounting fees), were approximately $296.6 million. Approximately $280.0 million of the net proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Notes was used by the MONY Group to finance the repurchase, on March 8, 2000, by MONY
Life of all of its outstanding $115.0 million face amount 9.5% coupon surplus notes, and $116.5 million face amount of its $125.0 million face amount 11.25% coupon surplus notes (hereafter referred to as the 9.5% Notes and 11.25%
Notes, respectively), which were outstanding at December 31, 1999. The balance of the net proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Notes will be used by the MONY Group for general corporate purposes.





As a result of the repurchase of the 9.5% Notes and substantially all of the 11.25% Notes, the Company
recorded a before tax loss of $56.5 million ($36.7 million after tax) during the first quarter of 2000 and $1.6 million ($1.0 million after tax) during the third quarter of 2000. The loss resulted from the premium paid by MONY Life to the holders of
the 9.5% Notes and the 11.25% Notes reflecting the excess of their fair value over their carrying value on the Companys books at the date of the transaction of approximately $7.0 million and $51.1 million, respectively. This loss is reported,
net of tax, as an extraordinary item on the Companys income statement for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000.





Since January 2000, MONY Group has had a common share repurchase program in place. During the second quarter of 2001, MONY Group announced a plan to repurchase an additional 2.5
million common shares, bringing the total authorized share repurchase to approximately 4.9 million shares. Under the plan, MONY Group may repurchase such shares from time to time, as market conditions and other factors warrant. The plan may be
discontinued at anytime. As of September 30, 2001, 3,286,789 million shares had been repurchased at an aggregate cost of approximately $110.9 million.





9.    Subsequent Events:





During the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company announced the planned acquisition of Lebenthal & Co. by its subsidiary, The Advest Group Inc. The acquisition is expected to be
consummated by the end of the fourth quarter. Lebenthal & Co. is a financial services firm offering a range of investment products and services to a nationwide customer base. Lebenthal & Cos. concentrated expertise in municipal bonds
has made it one of the nations leading experts in tax exempt investing. The firm also has an asset management subsidiary and manages three open-ended municipal bond funds including the first taxable bond fund.

| | Three-month Period Ended September 30, 2001 Compared to the Three-month Period Ended September 30, 2000.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




Premium revenue was $162.0 million for the three-month period ended September 30,
2001, a decrease of $0.5 million, or 0.3% from $162.5 million reported for the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily the result of lower premiums in the Protection Products segment of $1.2 million, offset by higher premiums in the
Accumulation Products segment of $1.0 million. The decrease in the Protection Product segment was primarily a result of lower renewal premiums of $6.4 million due to the reduction of the in-force block, offset by an increase in new and single
premiums of $2.4 million, and an increase of $4.0 million in premiums from special risk term insurance products offered by U.S. Financial Life Insurance Company (USFL). The increase in new premiums written by USFL is primarily
attributable to the expansion of its distribution and the improvement of its financial strength ratings since being acquired by the Company. Management believes that the decrease in traditional life insurance premiums is consistent with industry
trends, particularly the continuing shift by consumers from traditional protection products to asset accumulation products. See  New Business Information for a discussion regarding period to period sales and related
trends. The increase in the Accumulation Products segment was primarily attributable to sales of immediate annuities.





Universal life and investment-type product policy fees were $50.1 million for three-month period ended September 30, 2001, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 2.1% from $51.2 million
reported for the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily a result of lower fees in the Accumulation Products segment of $4.8 million, offset in part by higher fees in the Protection Products of $4.6 million. The decrease in the
Accumulation Products segment was primarily due to lower mortality and expense charges of $2.5 million, and a $2.3 million




26


---

decrease in surrender charges in the Companys flexible payment variable annuity (FPVA) product. The decrease in mortality and expense charges is due to lower fund values
resulting from stock market declines. The decrease in surrender charges reflects the positive effects of the Companys conservation unit and other measures designed to improve persistency. The increase in the Protection Products segment was
primarily related to higher fees from corporate sponsored variable universal life (CSVUL) and variable universal life (VUL) of $2.0 million and $1.6 million respectively.





Net investment income was $172.9 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2001, a decrease
of $58.7 million, or 25.3%, from $231.6 million reported for the comparable prior year period. The decrease in net investment income is primarily related to a decrease in income recorded by the Company from its investments in limited partnership
interests. Such partnerships provide venture capital funding to companies through the purchase of or investment in equity securities issued by such companies. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2001, the Company had a loss of $15.5
million relating to such partnership investments, a decrease of $64.6 million from an income of $49.1 million recorded for the three-month period ended September 30, 2000. As of September 30, 2001, invested assets excluding trading portfolio assets
of $718.4 million were $11,144.2 million (including cumulative unrealized gains of $221.2 million on fixed maturity securities) compared to $10,913.2 million (including cumulative unrealized losses of $147.9 million on fixed maturity securities) for
the prior year period. At September 30, 2001, fixed maturity securities, mortgage loans and real estate represented approximately 60.9%, 16.3% and 2.0%, respectively, of total invested assets (excluding trading portfolio assets), as compared to
59.9%, 15.2% and 2.9%, respectively, at September 30, 2000. The annualized yield on the Companys invested assets, including limited partnership interests, before and after realized gains/(losses) on investments was 6.3% and 6.3%, respectively,
for the three-month period ended September 30, 2001, as compared to 8.4% and 9.2%, respectively, for the three-month period ended September 30, 2000. See Investments  Results by Asset Category.





Net realized capital gains were $0.5 million for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2001, a decrease of $22.4 million, from gains of $22.9 million for the comparable prior year period. The following table sets forth the components of net realized gains (losses) by investment category for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2001 compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2000.

Net investment
income and net realized gains on investments are allocated to the Companys segments based on the assets allocated to such segments to support the associated liabilities of each segment and to maintain a targeted regulatory risk-based capital
level for each segment.





Group Pension Profits were $8.0 million
for the three-month period ended September 30, 2001, a decrease of $2.8 million or 25.9% from $10.8 million reported in the corresponding prior year period. The decrease is primarily due to lower operating income due to the run-off of the Group
Pension business. See Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements  Group Pension Transaction.





Retail Brokerage and Investment Banking revenues were $82.1 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2001, an increase of $69.8 million
compared to $12.3 million for the comparable prior year period. The increase is primarily attributable to the acquisition of Advest in the first quarter of 2001. Revenues




27


---

for Advest for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2001, were $72.0 million. See New Business Information.





Other income (which consists primarily of fees earned by the Companys mutual fund management and
insurance brokerage operations, as well as, revenues from interest on deposits held under financial reinsurance arrangements, certain other asset management fees, and other miscellaneous revenues) was $21.8 million for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2001, a decrease of $18.2 million, or 45.5%, from $40.0 million reported for the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to lower income of $10.5 recorded in the Protection Products due to the decrease in cash
surrender value of the Companys corporate owned life insurance (COLI) contract as a result of unfavorable market conditions. The decrease was also due to lower income of $6.3 million in the Accumulation Products segment which was
primarily attributable to lower fees earned by the Companys mutual fund management operations. The Companys mutual fund management operations reported $22.2 million in fees from advisory, underwriting and distribution services in the
three-month periods ended September 30, 2001 as compared to $27.5 million in the comparable prior year period, as assets under management decrease to approximately $8.2 billion at September 30, 2001 from $10.4 billion at September 30, 2000.





Benefits to policyholders were $203.9 million for the three-month
period ended September 30, 2001, an increase of $9.9 million, or 5.1%, from $194.0 million reported for the comparable prior year period. The increase consisted primarily of higher benefits of approximately $8.6 million and $3.1 million in the
Companys Protection Products segment and Accumulation Products segment, respectively, offset by lower benefits of $1.5 million in the Other Products segment. The increase of $8.6 million in the Protection Products segment was primarily due to
an increase in USFL of $2.2 million and higher benefits expense in universal life and variable universal life. The increase of $3.1 million in the Accumulation Products segment was primarily due to an increase in FPVA death benefits of $1.7 million.





Interest credited to policyholders account balances was
$27.9 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2001, a decrease of $1.0 million, or 3.5%, from $28.9 million reported for the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to lower interest crediting of $1.8 million in
the Companys Accumulation Products segment primarily due to lower interest crediting on single premium deferred annuities (SPDA) of $0.8 million as account values declined. During the third quarter of 2001, SPDA account value
decreased approximately $8.5 million to $273.0 million as compared to $274.8 million in the prior year period. The decrease in account value in 2001 was primarily due to continuing withdrawals, which management believes partially reflects consumer
preferences for separate account products.





Amortization of
deferred policy acquisition costs (DAC) was $32.9 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2001, an increase of $2.2 million, or 7.2%, from $30.7 million reported in the comparable prior year period. The increase in DAC
amortization in the Protection Products segment was due primarily to higher CSVUL amortization of $3.2 million due to lower net death benefit claims and the increasing size of the inforce block, higher VUL amortization of $1.0 million, and higher
amortization of $1.6 million from USFL due to the increasing size of the inforce block. This was offset by a lower individual life amortization of $2.1 million, and lower universal life amortization of $1.7 million due to higher death claims.





Dividends to policyholders were $54.5 million for the three-month
period ended September 30, 2001, a decrease of $6.5 million, or 10.7%, from $61.0 million reported for the comparable prior year period. The decrease, substantially all of which occurred in the Protection Products segment, resulted from a reduction
in deferred dividend liability established in the Closed Block as of September 30, 2001, as compared to September 30, 2000.





Other operating costs and expenses were $190.0 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2001, an increase of $73.6 million, or 63.2%, from $116.4 million reported for
the comparable prior year period. This increase consisted of $79.3 million for the Retail Brokerage and Investment Banking segment, resulting from the acquisition of Advest and $5.7 million higher interest expense resulting from the financing of the
Advest acquisition. Offsetting these increases was $6.4 million lower incentive compensation.

| | Nine-month Period Ended September 30, 2001 Compared to the Nine-month Period Ended September 30, 2000.

Premium revenue was $500.5 million for the nine-month period ended September 30,
2001, a decrease of $3.5 million, or 0.7% from $504.0 million reported for the comparable prior year period ended September 30, 2000. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in the Protection Products segment of $6.7 million offset by
higher premiums in the Accumulation Products segment of $3.0 million. The decrease in the Protection Products segments was a result of lower renewal premiums of $22.9 million due to the reduction of the in-force block, offset by an increase of $3.0
million in single premiums and $12.9 in premiums from special risk term insurance products offered by USFL. The increase in new premiums written by USFL is primarily attributable to the expansion of its distribution, and the improvement of its
financial strength ratings since being acquired by the Company. Management believes that the decrease in traditional life insurance premiums is consistent with industry trends, particularly the continuing shift by consumers from traditional
protection products to asset accumulation products. See  New Business Information for a discussion regarding period to period sales and related trends. The increase in the Accumulation Product segment was primarily
attributed to sales of immediate annuities.





Universal life and
investment-type product policy fees were $152.1 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001, a decrease of $4.9 million, or 3.1% from $157.0 million reported for the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily a result of
lower fees in the Accumulation Products segment of $11.8 million, offset by higher fees in the Protection Product segment of $7.7 million. The decrease in the Accumulation Products segment was primarily due to lower mortality and expense charges of
$4.9 million, and a $6.4 million decrease in surrender charges in the Companys FPVA product. The decrease in FPVA mortality and expense charges is due to lower fund balances resulting from stock market declines. The decrease in surrender
charges reflects the positive effects of the Companys conservation unit and other measures designed to improve persistency. The increase in the Protection Products segment was primarily attributable to higher fees earned on CSVUL and VUL of
$3.8 million and $2.1 respectively, offset by lower fees earned on universal life (UL) and group universal life (GUL) of $1.5 million and $1.2 million, respectively.





Net investment income was $546.1 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001, a decrease
of $266.8 million, or 32.8%, from $812.9 million reported for the comparable prior year period. The decrease in net investment income is primarily related to a decrease in income recorded by the Company from its investments in limited partnership
interests. Such partnerships provide venture capital funding to companies through the purchase of or investment in equity securities issued by such companies. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001, the Company had a loss of $14.0
million relating to such partnership investments, a decrease of $272.9 million from an income of $258.9 million recorded for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000. As of September 30, 2001, invested assets excluding trading portfolio assets
of $718.4 million were $11,144.2 million (including cumulative unrealized gains of $221.2 million on fixed maturity securities) compared to $10,913.2 million (including cumulative unrealized losses of $147.9 million on fixed maturity securities) for
the prior year period. At September 30, 2001, fixed maturity securities, mortgage loans and real estate represented approximately 60.9%, 16.3% and 2.0%, respectively, of total invested assets (excluding trading portfolio assets), as compared to
59.9%, 15.2% and 2.9%, respectively, at September 30, 2000. The annualized yield on the Companys invested assets, including limited partnership interests, before and after realized gains/(losses) on investments was 6.6% and 6.6%, respectively,
for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001, as compared to 9.8% and 10.2%, respectively, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000. See Investments  Results by Asset Category.

Net realized capital gains were $6.0 million for the nine-month period ended September
30, 2001, a decrease of $26.6 million, from gains of $32.6 million for the comparable prior year period. The following table sets forth the components of net realized gains (losses) by investment category for the nine-month period ended September

Group Pension
Profits were $27.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 2001, a decrease of $1.8 million, or 6.2%, from $29.0 million reported in the corresponding prior year period. The decrease is primarily due to lower operating income due to
run-off of the Group Pension business. See Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements  Group Pension Transaction





Retail Brokerage and Investment Banking revenues were $253.0 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001, an increase of
$206.3 million compared $46.7 million for the comparable prior year period. The increase is primarily attributable to the acquisitions of Advest in the first quarter of 2001. Revenues for Advest for the period January 31, 2001 (date of acquisition)
through September 30, 2001, were $217.9 million. See New Business Information.





Other income (which consists primarily of fees earned by the Companys mutual fund management and insurance brokerage operations, as well as revenues from interest on deposits
held under financial reinsurance arrangements, certain other asset management fees, and other miscellaneous revenues) was $93.8 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001, a decrease of $33.5 million, or 26.3%, from $127.3 million
reported for the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to lower income of $17.0 million in the Protection Products segment and $15.9 million the Accumulation Products segment. The decrease in income recorded in the Protection
Products segment was primarily due to the decrease in cash surrender value of the Companys COLI contract as a result of unfavorable market conditions. The decrease in income recorded in the Accumulation Products segment was primarily
attributable to lower fees earned from the Companys mutual fund management operations. The Companys mutual fund management operations reported $69.2 million in fees from advisory, underwriting and distribution services in the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2001 as compared to $81.4 million in the comparable prior year period, as assets under management decreased to approximately $8.2 billion at September 30, 2001 from $10.4 billion at September 30, 2000.





Benefits to policyholders were $596.1 million for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2001, an increase of $19.0 million, or 3.3%, from $577.1 million reported for comparable prior year period. The increase consisted primarily of higher benefits of approximately $16.8 million, and $1.9 million in the Companys
Protection Products segment, and Accumulation Products segment, respectively. The increase of $16.8 million in the Protection Products segment was due to higher death benefits of $6.3 million, and higher USFL benefits of $11.4 million. The increase
of $1.9 million in the Accumulation Products segment was primarily the result of higher immediate annuity benefit payments and higher FPVA death benefits of $2.6 million and 2.4 million, respectively, offset by a decrease in supplementary contract
benefits of $3.2 million higher due to the decline in the reserves.





Interest credited to policyholders account balances was $83.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001, an increase of $0.1 million, or 0.1%, from $83.1
million reported for the comparable prior year period. The increase was the result of higher interest crediting of $4.8 million in the Companys Protection Product segment due primarily to a $4.7 million increase in CSVUL. This was offset by
lower interest crediting




30


---

of $5.2 million in the Companys Accumulation Products segment primarily due to lower interest crediting on single premium deferred annuities (SPDA) of $2.5 million as account
value declined.





Amortization of DAC was $98.4 million for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2001, a decrease of $7.0 million, or 6.6%, from $105.4 million reported in the comparable prior year period. The decrease consisted primarily of lower DAC amortization in the Protection Products segment and the
Accumulation Products segment of $3.1 million and $3.9 million, respectively. The decrease in amortization in the Protection Products segment was primarily due to lower universal life amortization of $5.7 million due to higher death claims. This was
offset by higher amortization of $2.5 million from USFL due to the increasing size of the inforce block. The decrease in DAC amortization in the Accumulation Products segment primarily resulted from lower amortization in FPVA of $4.0 million due to
an adjustment to future expected profitability due to higher surrender charges received per dollar of surrender benefits, and lower anticipated trailer costs.





Dividends to policyholders were $169.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 0.1%, from $170.9 million
reported for the comparable prior year period. The decrease, substantially all of which occurred in the Protection Products segment, resulted from a year to date decrease in the deferred dividend liability established in the Closed Block as of
September 30, 2001, as compared to September 30, 2000.





Other
operating costs and expenses were $591.0 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001, an increase of $202.0 million, or 51.9%, from $389.0 million reported for the comparable prior year period. This increase consisted of $222.4
million for the Retail Brokerage and Investment Banking segment, resulting from the acquisition of Advest and $15.6 million higher interest expense resulting from the financing of the Advest acquisition. Offsetting these increases was $36.3 million
lower incentive compensation.





New Business Information





The Company distributes its Protection and Accumulation products primarily through its career agency
sales force and various complementary distribution channels which include: (i) sales of proprietary retail mutual funds through third party broker-dealers, (ii) sales of Protection Products by the Companys USFL subsidiary through brokerage
general agencies, (iii) sales of COLI products by the Companys corporate marketing team, and (iv) sales of a variety of financial products and services through the Companys Trusted Advisors subsidiary. The table below and discussion
which follows present certain information with respect to the Companys sales of protection and accumulation products during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 by source of distribution. Management uses this
information to measure the Companys sales production from period to period by source of distribution.





The amounts presented with respect to life insurance sales represent annualized statutory-basis premiums. Annualized premiums in the Protection Products segment represent the total
premium scheduled to be collected on a policy or contract over a twelve-month period. Pursuant to the terms of certain of the policies and contracts issued by the Company, premiums and deposits may be paid or deposited on a monthly, quarterly, or
semi-annual basis. Annualized premium does not apply to single premium paying business. All premiums received on COLI business and single premium paying policies during the periods presented are included. Statutory basis premiums are used in lieu of
GAAP basis premiums because, in accordance with statutory accounting practices, revenues from all classes of long-duration contracts are measured on the same basis, whereas GAAP provides different revenue recognition rules for different classes of
long-duration contracts as defined by the requirements of SFAS No. 60, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises, SFAS No. 97, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Long Duration Contracts and for Realized Gains and
Losses from the Sale of Investments, and SOP 95-1, Accounting for Certain Insurance Activities of Mutual Life Insurance Enterprises. The amounts presented with respect to annuity and mutual fund sales represent deposits made by customers during the
periods presented.





The amounts presented with respect to the
Retail Brokerage and Investment Banking segment represent fees earned by Advest, Matrix and MSC primarily from securities brokerage, investment banking and asset management services.

| | Protection Products Segment  New Business Information for the three-month period ended September 30, 2001 compared to the three-month period
ended September 30, 2000

Total new
annualized and single life insurance premiums for the three-month period ended September 30, 2001 were $54.8 million, compared with $95.8 million during the comparable prior year period.





The decrease was primarily due to decrease sales of COLI and BOLI which were $19.4 million for the
three-month period ended September 30, 2001, compared to $65.7 million for the comparable prior year period. The decrease in sales reflects an increase in competition in the marketplace. Corporate sales are large premium cases, which typically
generate revenues that can fluctuate considerably from quarter-to-quarter.

New life insurance premiums
(first-year and single premiums) through the career network increased for the three-month period ended September 30, 2001 to $22.6 million compared to $19.5 million for the comparable prior year period.





USFL sales were $11.7 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2001, compared to $10.2
million during the comparable 2000 period due to an increase in universal life sales.

Total new annualized
and single life insurance premiums for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001 were $151.9 million, a decrease of $53.4 million from $205.3 million for the comparable prior year period.





The decrease was primarily due to decreased sales of COLI and BOLI which were $54.6 million for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2001 compared with $110.3 during the comparable prior year period. The decrease in sales reflects an increase in competition in the marketplace. Corporate sales are large-premium cases, which typically generate
revenues that can fluctuate considerably from quarter-to-quarter.





New life insurance premiums (first-year and single premiums) through the career network were $60.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001 compared to $62.7
million for the comparable prior year period. Sales of variable-based life insurance products, which comprise a significant portion of the Companys life insurance products, are heavily influenced by the performance of the stock market.





USFL sales were $34.2 million for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2001, compared to $30.3 million during the comparable 2000 period due to an increase in universal life sales.

The Retail Brokerage and Investment Banking segment includes securities brokerage, trading, investment banking, trust and asset management services to high-net worth individuals
and small to mid-size business owners through Advest, Matrix and MSC. The Retail Brokerage and Investment Banking segment, formed during the first quarter of 2001, had revenues of $82.1 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2001.
Overall market conditions, coupled with the four-day market close following the events of September 11, 2001, affected trading volume at Advest and MSC. Advest revenues were $72.0 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2001, compared
to $101.4 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2000 on a proforma basis. Revenues from Advests private client group were $42.5 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2001 compared to $57.4 million for the
comparable prior year period on a proforma basis. Advests private client group includes the retail sale of equities, asset management products, fixed income products and annuities to individual investors through Advest financial advisors.

The Retail Brokerage and Investment Banking segment, formed during the first quarter of 2001, had revenues of $253.0 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001.
Overall market conditions, coupled with the four-day market close following the events of September 11, 2001, affected trading volume at Advest and MSC. Advest revenues were $217.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001, compared
to $274.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 on a proforma basis. Revenues from Advests private client group were $118.5 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001 compared to $157.4 million for the

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001, MSC posted
revenues of $33.1 million, compared with $46.7 million during the comparable prior year period.





2001 Restructuring





The Company expects to take a one-time, after-tax charge
during the three-months ended December 31, 2001 as a result of the reorganization of certain of its businesses. This charge primarily consists of severance for terminated employees, losses relating to the abandonment of leased office space,
equipment, and certain information technology related assets, and certain other charges. The amount of this charge is expected to be material to the Companys results of operations for the aforementioned three-month period and full year ended
December 31, 2001.





Implications of the Events of September 11 th





Based on information available to date, the events of September 11  , 2001 did not have a material affect on the Companys financial position. While the Company is still in the process of assessing the financial implications resulting from September 11 th and its ability to recover the damages incurred under its insurance coverage, the Company knows that revenues of certain of its
businesses for the three-month period ended September 30, 2001 were directly impacted and that the Company incurred a number of direct costs associated with the incident, including; (i) lost revenues at Advest, MSC, and Enterprise resulting from the
close of the New York securities markets, (ii) physical damage to Advests Rector Street offices in lower Manhattan and




35


---

associated recovery and relocation costs, and (iii) life insurance claims of approximately $2.0 million resulting from the incident. In addition, management expects that results subsequent to
September 30, 2001 may be affected due to the possibility that additional life insurance claims and other implications of the events of September 11 th may emerge.





Liquidity and Capital Resources





| | MONY Group
| | ----------




MONY Groups cash flow consists of investment income from its invested assets (including interest from the inter-company surplus notes, as hereafter defined) and dividends
from MONY Life, if declared and paid, offset by expenses incurred in connection with the administration of the MONY Groups affairs and interest expense on its outstanding indebtedness. As a holding company, MONY Groups ability to meet
its cash requirements, pay interest expense on its outstanding indebtedness, and pay dividends on its Common Stock substantially depend upon payments from its subsidiaries, including the receipt of; (i) dividends, (ii) interest income on the
inter-company surplus notes, and (iii) other payments. The payment of dividends by MONY Life to MONY Group is regulated under state insurance law. In addition, payments of principal and interest on the inter-company surplus notes can only be made
with the prior approval of the New York Superintendent whenever, in his judgment, the financial condition of such insurer warrants. Such payments may be made only out of surplus funds which are available for such payments under the New York
Insurance Law.





As of September 30, 2001, MONY Life paid a dividend
to MONY Group in the amount of $115.0 million.





| | Issuance of Senior Notes and Repurchase of Senior Notes
| | -------------------------------------------------------




On January 12, 2000, the MONY Group filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register
certain securities (the Shelf Registration). This registration provides the Company with a vehicle to offer various securities to the public, when it deems appropriate, to raise proceeds up to an amount not to exceed $1.0 billion in the
aggregate for all issuances of securities thereunder. See the Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere herein.





| | Capitalization
| | --------------




The Companys total capitalization, excluding accumulated comprehensive income and short term debt, increased to $2,703.1 million at September 30, 2001, as compared to
$2,597.0 million at December 31, 2000. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in paid in capital from the issuance of common stock in connection with the acquisition of Advest. The Companys debt to equity ratio (excluding
accumulated comprehensive income and short term debt) remained unchanged at 28.0% at September 30, 2001 from December 31, 2000. The Companys debt to total capitalization ratio (excluding accumulated comprehensive income and short term debt)
also remained unchanged at 22.0% at September 30, 2001, from December 31, 2000.





| | MONY Life
| | ---------




MONY Lifes cash inflows are provided mainly from life insurance premiums, annuity considerations and deposit funds, investment income and maturities and sales of invested
assets. Cash outflows primarily relate to the liabilities associated with its various life insurance and annuity products, dividends to policyholders, operating expenses, income taxes, acquisitions of invested assets, and principal and interest on
its outstanding debt obligations. The life insurance and annuity liabilities relate to MONY Lifes obligation to make benefit payments under its insurance and annuity contracts, as well as the need to make payments in connection with policy
surrenders, withdrawals and loans.

Annuity surrenders decreased for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001 compared to the comparable prior year period reflecting the Companys
conservation efforts and positive effects of the exchange program.





The Companys principle sources of liquidity to meet cash flow needs are its portfolio of liquid assets and its net operating cash flow. During the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2001 the net cash outflow from operations was $(42.2) million, a $15.2 million decrease from September 30, 2000 which was $(27.0) million. The decrease primarily relates to lower payments from the Group Pension Transaction, higher
interest payments on corporate debt, and higher general expenses offset in part by lower tax payments. The Companys liquid assets include substantial U.S. Treasury holdings, short-term money market investments and marketable long-term fixed
maturity securities. Management believes that the Companys sources of liquidity are adequate to

meet its anticipated needs. As of September 30, 2001, the Company had readily marketable fixed maturity securities with a carrying value of $6,789.8 million (including fixed maturities in the
Closed Block), which were comprised of $3,675.7 million public and $3,114.1 million private fixed maturity securities. At that date, approximately 91.4% of the Companys fixed maturity securities were designated in The Securities Valuation
Office of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) rating categories 1 and 2 (considered investment grade, with a rating of Baa or higher by Moodys or BBB or higher by S&P). In
addition, at September 30, 2001 the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $618.7 million (including cash and cash equivalents in the Closed Block).

INVESTMENTS





The Companys invested assets are allocated between the Closed Block and operations outside the Closed Block. In view of the similar asset quality characteristics of the
major asset categories in the two portfolios, the invested assets in the Closed Block have been combined with the Companys invested assets outside the Closed Block for purposes of the following discussion and analysis. In addition, the
following discussion excludes invested assets transferred in the Group Pension Transaction. Accordingly, this discussion should be read in conjunction with the summary financial information regarding assets transferred in the Group Pension
Transaction presented in Note 5 to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.





The following table sets forth the results of the major categories of general account invested assets, which includes invested assets of the Closed Block and excludes trading
securities of Advest.

|(1) |  | The decrease in net investment income yields was primarily due to a decrease in limited partnership income included in the equity securities asset category of $64.6 million and
$272.9 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2001, and the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001, respectively. The net investment income yields excluding the limited partnership income are 7.1% and 6.8% for the three-month
periods ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively and 6.9% and 6.9% for the nine-month periods ending September 30, 2001 and 2000 respectively.
|--- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




The yield on general account invested assets (including net realized gains and losses on investments) was 6.3% and 9.2% for the
three-month period ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and 6.6% and 10.2% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.





Fixed Maturities





Fixed maturities consist of publicly traded debt securities, privately placed debt securities and small amounts of redeemable preferred stock, and represented 60.9% and 59.6% of
total invested assets at September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively.





The securities Valuation office of the NAIC evaluates the bond investments of insurers for regulatory reporting purposes and assigns securities to one of six investment categories
called NAIC Designations. The NAIC Designations closely mirror the Nationally Recognized Securities Rating Organizations credit ratings for marketable bonds. NAIC Designations 1 and 2 include bonds considered investment grade
(Baa or higher by Moodys, or BBB or higher by S&P) by such rating organizations. NAIC Designations 3 through 6 are referred to as below investment grade (Ba or lower by Moodys, or BB or
lower by S&P).





The following table presents the Companys
fixed maturities by NAIC Designation and the equivalent ratings of the Nationally Recognized Rating Organizations as of the dates indicated, as well as the percentage, based on fair value, that each designation comprises.

Of the
Companys total portfolio of fixed maturity securities at September 30, 2001, 91.4% were investment grade and 8.6% were below-investment grade, based on designations assigned by the Securities Valuation Office of the NAIC.





The Company reviews all fixed maturity securities at least once each quarter and
identifies investments that management concludes require additional monitoring. Among the criteria are: (i) violation of financial covenants, (ii) public securities trading at a substantial discount as a result of specific credit concerns, and (iii)
other subjective factors relating to the issuer.





The Company
defines problem securities in the fixed maturity category as securities (i) as to which principal and/or interest payments are in default or are to be restructured pursuant to commenced negotiations or (ii) issued by a company that went into
bankruptcy subsequent to the acquisition of such securities or (iii) are deemed to have other than temporary impairments to value.





The Company defines potential problem securities in the fixed maturity category as securities that are deemed to be experiencing significant operating problems or difficult
industry conditions. Typically these credits are experiencing or anticipating liquidity constraints, having difficulty meeting projections/budgets and would most likely be considered a below investment grade risk.





The Company defines restructured securities in the fixed maturity category as
securities where a concession has been granted to the borrower related to the borrowers financial difficulties that the Company would not have otherwise considered. The Company restructures certain securities in instances where a determination
was made that greater economic value will be realized under the new terms than through liquidation or other disposition. The terms of the restructure generally involve some or all of the following characteristics: a reduction in the interest rate,
an extension of the maturity date and a partial forgiveness of principal and/or interest. There were no restructured fixed maturities at September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000.





As of September 30, 2001 the fair value of the Companys problem, potential problem and restructured fixed maturities were $35.4
million, $21.6 million and $0.0 million, respectively, which, in the aggregate, represented approximately 0.8% of total fixed maturities. As of December 31, 2000, the fair value of the Companys problem, potential problem and restructured fixed
maturities were $54.1 million, $6.6 million and $0.0 million, respectively, which, in the aggregate, represented approximately 0.9% of total fixed maturities.





At September 30, 2001, the Companys largest unaffiliated single concentration of fixed maturities was $278.5 million of Federal National Mortgage
Association (FNMA) which represents 2.5% of total invested assets. The largest non-government issuer consists of $204.7 million of notes purchased in connection with the Group Pension Transaction. These notes represent approximately 1.8%
of total invested assets at September 30, 2001. No other individual non-government issuer represents more than 0.4% of total invested assets.

The Company held approximately
$1,063.5 million and $1,103.9 million of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities as of September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively. Of such amounts, $306.1 million and $338.9 million, or 28.8% and 30.7%, respectively, represented
agency-issued pass-through and collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) secured by Federal National Mortgage Association, FHLMC, Government National Mortgage Association and Canadian Housing Authority collateral. The balance of such
amounts were comprised of other types of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. The Company believes that its active monitoring of its portfolio of mortgage-backed securities and the limited extent of its holdings of more volatile types of
mortgage-backed securities mitigate the Companys exposure to losses from prepayment risk associated with interest rate fluctuations for this portfolio. At September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, 86.3% and 84.5%, respectively, of the
Companys mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities were assigned an NAIC Designation of 1 at such dates.

At September 30,
2001 and December 31, 2000, the Company had investments in approximately 55 and 53 different limited partnerships which represented 2.3% and 2.5%, respectively, of the Companys general account invested assets. Investment results for the
portfolio are dependent upon, among other things, general market conditions for initial and secondary offerings of common stock. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001 and 2000,
investment income from equity partnership interests (which is comprised primarily of the Companys pro rata share of income reported by partnerships accounted for under the equity method and income recognized upon distribution for partnership
investments accounted for under the cost method) was approximately $(15.5) million and $49.1 million and $(14.0) million and $258.9 million, respectively.

ITEM 3.





QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK





Quantitative and qualitative disclosure regarding the Companys exposures to market risk, as well as the Companys objectives, policies and strategies relating to the
management of such risks, is set forth in the MONY Groups 2000 Annual Report. The relative sensitivity to changes in fair value from interest rates and equity prices at September 30, 2001 is not materially different from that presented in MONY
Groups 2000 Annual Report except as described below with respect to the Companys recently acquired subsidiary, Advest.





Risk Management





During its normal course of
business, Advest engages in the trading of securities, primarily fixed income, in both a proprietary and market making capacity, and holds securities for trading rather than investment purposes. Advest makes a market in certain investment-grade
corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities, municipal bonds and over-the-counter equities in order to facilitate order flow and accommodate its retail and institutional customers. During the past two years, Advest significantly increased its
institutional corporate bond, government agency and mortgage-backed securities trading activities.





Market Risk





Market risk represents the potential change in the value of
financial instruments due to fluctuations in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, equity and commodity prices. In the course of its trading and hedging activities, Advest is exposed to interest rate and equity price risk.





Advest is exposed to market risk arising from changes in interest rates.
Advests management seeks to reduce the risk of its trading portfolio on an aggregate basis. Its risk management activities include inventory and hedging policies. Inventory policies reflect the level of aggregate short and long positions that
may be held for trading and are specified by product line. Risk management strategies also include the use of derivatives, principally exchange-traded futures contracts.





Advest is exposed to equity price risk as a result of making a market in over-the-counter equity securities. Equity price risk arises from
changes in the price and volatility of equity securities. In April 1999, a comprehensive review was completed of Advests NASDAQ trading activities and the decision was made to reduce overnight inventory and more aggressively manage the number
of stocks in which it made a market.





Trading Accounts (Value at Risk Analysis)





For purposes of the Securities and Exchange Commissions market risk disclosure requirements,
Advest has performed a value at risk analysis of its trading financial instruments and derivatives. The value at risk calculation uses standard statistical techniques to measure the potential loss in fair value based upon a one-day holding period
and a 95% confidence level. These computations are performed monthly in order to achieve a better understanding of the Advests risk/return profile. Management controls include, as needed, the extension of our monitoring process to the
security, product, trader, department, and firm wide levels as determined by management. Most significantly, Advests institutional book of business, which represents the vast majority of our holdings, is typically monitored daily. Although
value at risk models are sophisticated, they can be limited, as historical data is not always an accurate predictor of future conditions. Accordingly, Advest manages its market exposure through other measures, including predetermined trading
authorization levels and hedging as discussed previously.

Advests value at risk for
each component of market risk and in total was as follows at September 30, 2001, December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999:

$347


The potential future loss represented by the total value at risk falls
within predetermined levels of loss that are not material to the Advests results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.





The value at risk estimate has limitations that should be considered in evaluating the Companys potential future losses based on the period-end
portfolio positions. Recent market conditions may result in statistical relationships that result in a higher value at risk than would be estimated from the same portfolio under different market conditions. In addition, a critical risk management
strategy is the active management of portfolio levels to mitigate market risk. The Companys, and in particular Advests, market risk exposure will continue to change with changes in the portfolio and market conditions.
