Southwest Advisors,
although dormant, is a registered investment advisor under the Investment Advisors Act of 1940.



Banking Group.    First Savings is a federally chartered savings association regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision. FSB Financial purchases non-prime automobile loans
and FSB Development develops single- family residential lots.



Other Consolidated Entities.    In the first quarter of fiscal 2003, SWS sold SWS Technologies internet service provider (ISP) customer list and accounts receivable to a third party for
$75,000. Later in fiscal 2003, SWS will receive additional compensation from the purchaser based upon the successful transition and retention of the ISP customers. SWS will be reimbursed by the purchaser for operating costs incurred during
the transition. SWS will be responsible for contract termination costs incurred during the transition to the purchaser and expects these costs to partially offset the additional compensation that will ultimately be received from the purchaser.





EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENT



SWS is a part
owner of a software development company, Comprehensive Software Systems, Ltd. (CSS). CSS was formed in 1993 to develop a new brokerage front- and back-office system. SWS initially acquired a 7.96% interest in CSS and accounted for the
investment on the cost basis. Through subsequent investments by SWS, SWS ownership in CSS increased in fiscal 2002 to 25.08%. Consequently, SWS implemented the equity method of accounting, prescribed by Accounting Principles Board
(APB) Opinion No. 18, The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock, with respect to its investment in CSS. Summarized financial information of CSS is as follows (in thousands):

In the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2002, SWS determined that the investment in CSS and its related goodwill was fully impaired based on an analysis of the projected cash flow from the investment. Therefore, SWS wrote-off the investment in CSS. SWS made no capital contributions
to CSS in the first or second quarters of fiscal 2003. On December 6, 2002, SWS entered into a loan agreement with CSS under which SWS agreed to advance to CSS the principal sum of $3,250,000 in quarterly installments of $812,500 beginning January
6, 2002. The unpaid principal balance of the note bears interest at 6% per annum. The note is payable in equal monthly installments beginning January 1, 2008 with the final payment due January 1, 2013.



SWS will resume recording its share of the undistributed losses of CSS as due
to this additional investment.





ASSETS SEGREGATED FOR REGULATORY PURPOSES



At December 31, 2002, SWS had U.S. Treasury securities with a market value of approximately $318,965,000, reverse repurchase agreements of approximately $170,274,000 and related cash and accrued
interest of approximately $39,000 segregated in special reserve bank accounts for the exclusive benefit of customers under Rule 15c3-3 of the 1934 Act. These reverse repurchase agreements were collateralized by U.S. Government securities with a
market value of approximately $173,145,000. SWS also had approximately $1,210,000 in reverse repurchase agreements in special reserve bank accounts for the Proprietary Accounts of Introducing Brokers (PAIB) at December 31, 2002. The
reverse repurchase agreements in the PAIB accounts were collateralized by U.S. Government securities with a market value of approximately $1,234,000.



At June 28, 2002, SWS had U.S. Treasury securities with a market value of approximately $226,273,000, reverse repurchase agreements of approximately
$207,582,000, cash of $51,000 and related accrued interest of approximately $51,000 segregated in the special reserve bank accounts for the exclusive benefit of customers. These reverse repurchase agreements were collateralized by U.S. Government
securities with a market value of approximately $210,592,000. SWS also had approximately $8,748,000 in reverse repurchase agreements, cash of $1,000 and related accrued interest of approximately $1,000 in special reserve bank accounts for the PAIB
at June 28, 2002. The reverse repurchase agreements in the PAIB accounts were collateralized by U.S. Government securities with a market value of approximately $8,924,000.

MARKETABLE EQUITY
SECURITIES



SWSs shares of Knight Trading Group, Inc.
(Knight) and U.S. Home Systems, Inc. (USHS) common stock are classified as marketable equity securities available for sale. Consequently, the unrealized holding gains (losses), net of tax, are recorded as a separate component
of stockholders equity on the consolidated statements of financial condition. At December 31, 2002 and June 28, 2002, SWS held 373,550 shares of Knight common stock with a cost basis of $48,000 and 365,723 shares of USHS with a cost basis of
$936,000. The market value of the Knight shares was $1,789,000 at December 31, 2002 and $1,957,000 at June 28, 2002. The market value of the USHS shares was $1,939,000 at December 31, 2002 and $1,975,000 at June 28, 2002.



The specific identification method is used to determine the cost
of marketable securities sold. At December 31, 2002 and June 28, 2002, all of the Knight shares held were hedged by the 5% Exchangeable Subordinated Notes (Notes) issued in the form of DARTSSM(or, Derivative Adjustable Ratio SecuritiesSM) and subject to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended.



In December 2000, SWS repurchased and retired 640,782 DARTS and a like number
of Knight shares were released from the hedge. Upon sale of previously hedged shares of Knight stock, SWS recognized non-cash gains of approximately $23.50 per share, net of tax, equal to the decrease in the value of Knight stock from the hedging
date (June 16, 1999), to the termination date of hedge accounting (December 20, 2000).



There were no sales of Knight stock in the three and six month periods ending December 31, 2002. SWS disposed of 126,000 shares and 326,000 shares of Knight stock with proceeds from the sales totaling $1,496,000 and
$3,732,000 in the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2001, respectively, and realized cash gains on these sales totaling $1,479,000 and $3,689,000, respectively. All of the shares sold in the three and six-month periods ending December
31, 2001 were previously hedged stock. Consequently, in accordance with SFAS No. 133, SWS recorded non-cash gains of $4,555,000 and $11,785,000, respectively, related to the shares sold in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and
comprehensive income (loss.) Therefore, totals gains related to the sales of Knight common stock were $6,034,000 and $15,474,000 during the three and six-month periods ended December 31, 2001.

Certain of the above
securities have been pledged to secure short-term borrowings and as security deposits at clearing organizations for SWS clearing business. Securities, pledged as security deposits at clearing organizations, were $1,376,000 and $1,987,000 at
December 31, 2002 and June 28, 2002, respectively. Additionally, at December 31, 2002 and June 28, 2002, SWS had pledged firm securities valued at $152,000 and $406,000, respectively, in conjunction with securities lending activities.





SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT



In accordance with
Statement of Position No. 98-1 Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use, SWS has capitalized $154,000 of software development up-grade costs associated with the CSS technology platform. These
capitalized costs are primarily labor related and will be depreciated over a three-year period.





GOODWILL



SWS adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, as of the beginning of fiscal 2003. SFAS No. 142 addresses financial
accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill. This statement also addresses how goodwill and other intangibles should be accounted for after they have been initially recognized in the financial statements. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill and
intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually. The statement also provides specific guidance for impairment testing.



In accordance with the transition provisions of SFAS No. 142, SWS performed
the first step of transition impairment testing, determining fair value of the reporting units with goodwill, during the second quarter of fiscal 2003. Based on the results of the valuation, SWSs goodwill balance is not impaired. SWS has two
reporting units with goodwill  Southwest Securities and the Bank. Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the six-month period ended December 31, 2002, by company and in the aggregate, are summarized in the following table (in
thousands):

SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS



SWS has credit arrangements with commercial banks, which
include broker loan lines up to $350,000,000. These lines of credit are used primarily to finance securities owned, securities held for correspondent broker/dealer accounts and receivables in customers margin accounts. These lines may also be
used to release pledged collateral against day loans. These credit arrangements are provided on an as offered basis and are not committed lines of credit. These arrangements can be terminated at any time by the lender. Any outstanding
balance under these credit arrangements is due on demand and bears interest at rates indexed to the federal funds rate. There were no borrowings under these arrangements at December 31, 2002. At June 28, 2002, the amount outstanding under these
secured arrangements was $31,000,000, which was collateralized by securities held for firm accounts valued at $36,053,000, and $6,600,000, which was collateralized by securities held for non customer accounts valued at $27,703,000.



In addition to the broker loan lines, SWS has a $20,000,000 unsecured line of
credit that is due on demand and bears interest at rates indexed to the federal funds rate, none of which was outstanding at either December 31, 2002 or June 28, 2002. This arrangement can be terminated at any time by the lender.



SWS has an irrevocable letter of credit agreement aggregating $42,000,000 at
December 31, 2002 and June 28, 2002, pledged to support its open options positions with an options clearing organization. The letter of credit bears interest at the brokers call rate, if drawn, and is renewable annually. This letter of credit
is fully collateralized by marketable securities held in client and non-client margin accounts with a value of $55,330,000 and $75,502,000 at December 31, 2002 and June 28, 2002, respectively. SWS also has unsecured letters of credit, aggregating
$4,845,000 at December 31, 2002 and June 28, 2002, pledged to support its open positions with securities clearing organizations. The unsecured letters of credit bear interest at the prime rate plus 3%, if drawn, and are renewable semi-annually.



In addition to using customer securities to finance bank loans
as discussed above, SWS also pledges client securities as collateral in conjunction with SWS securities lending activities. At December 31, 2002, approximately $382,813,000 of client securities under customer margin loans is available to be
repledged, of which SWS has pledged $15,580,000 under securities loan agreements. At June 28, 2002, $488,500,000 of client securities under customer margin loans is available to be pledged, of which the Company has repledged $22,829,000 under
securities loan agreements.



At December 31, 2002 and June 28,
2002, SWS had no repurchase agreements outstanding.

EXCHANGEABLE SUBORDINATED NOTES



SWS adopted SFAS No. 133 effective July 1, 2000. SFAS No. 133 is applicable
to the Notes due 2004 with a face value of $21.2 million. SWS issued the Notes in June 1999 in the form of DARTSSM,
or Derivative Adjustable Ratio SecuritiesSM. 373,550 DARTS were outstanding at both December 31, 2002 and June 28,
2002.



SFAS No. 133 requires fair value recognition of the
Notes embedded derivative by adjusting the Notes liability account in the consolidated statements of financial condition. The following table reflects the activity in the Notes liability account for the three and six month periods
ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 (in thousands):

##### Table of Contents



December 31, 2002, the change
in the time value of the embedded equity option in the DARTS was immaterial to the consolidated financial statements. For these same periods ended December 31, 2001, SWS recognized a gain of $27,000 and a loss of $123,000, respectively. Under SFAS
No. 133, such gain or loss will be calculated on a quarterly basis until such time as the embedded derivative ceases to exist. SWS also reclassified gains of $184,000 and losses of $109,000 from other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax of $
(99,000) and $59,000, to earnings to record the change in value of the hedged Knight shares in earnings for the three and six months ended December 31, 2002. For these same periods ended December 31, 2001, SWS reclassified gains of $804,000 and
$80,000, respectively, from other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax of $433,000 and $43,000, respectively, representing the change in the time value of the embedded equity option in the DARTS.





NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS



Brokerage
Group.    The broker/dealer subsidiaries are subject to the Securities and Exchange Commissions (SEC) Uniform Net Capital Rule (the Rule), which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital.
Southwest Securities has elected to use the alternative method, permitted by the Rule, which requires that it maintain minimum net capital equal to the greater of $1,500,000 or 2% of aggregate debit balances, as defined in
Rule 15c3 under the 1934 Act. At December 31, 2002, Southwest Securities had net capital of $78,910,000, or approximately 20.6% of aggregate debit balances, which is $71,233,000 in excess of its minimum net capital requirement of $7,677,000 at that
date. Additionally, the net capital rule of the NYSE provides that equity capital may not be withdrawn or cash dividends paid if resulting net capital would be less than 5% of aggregate debit items. At December 31, 2002, Southwest Securities had net
capital of $59,717,000 in excess of 5% of aggregate debit items.



Southwest Clearing and May Financial also follow the alternative method and are both required to maintain minimum net capital of $250,000. At December 31, 2002, the net capital and excess net capital for Southwest Clearing was
$1,351,000 and $1,101,000, respectively, and May Financial had net capital and excess net capital of $382,000 and $132,000, respectively.



SWS Financial and Mydiscountbroker follow the primary (aggregate indebtedness) method under Rule 15c3-1, which requires the maintenance of minimum net
capital of $250,000. At December 31, 2002, the net capital and excess net capital of SWS Financial was $310,000 and $60,000, respectively, and Mydiscountbroker had net capital and excess net capital of $2,417,000 and $2,167,000, respectively.



Banking Group.    First Savings is
subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal agencies. Quantitative measures, established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy, require maintaining minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total
and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2002 and June 28, 2002, that the Bank meets all
capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.



As of
December 31, 2002 and June 28, 2002, First Savings is considered well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total
risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table.

SEGMENT REPORTING



SWS operates three principal segments within the financial
services industry: the Brokerage Group, the Asset Management Group and the Banking Group. There have been no changes in the basis of segmentation or in the basis of measurement of segment profit or loss since last reported. However, due to the
spin-off of the Westwood Group effective June 28, 2002, the Westwood Groups results are not included in the Asset Management Group in fiscal 2003.



The category other consolidated entities includes the Parent and SWS Technologies. The Parent is a holding company that owns various
investments, including the investments in Knight and U.S. Home Systems, Inc. common stocks. SWS Technologies provides limited Internet-related services. (See discussion of SWS Technologies in General and Basis of Presentation footnote.)
There are no material reconciling adjustments included in this category.

COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES and GUARANTEES



During the first quarter of fiscal 2003, First Savings provided $3.4 million ($2.2 million after-tax impact on earnings) to establish a reserve for potentially fraudulent mortgages purchased from one New York based mortgage bank.
Sixteen loans, aggregating approximately $3.4 million, were apparently sold twice by the

mortgage bank. SWS is examining public records to ascertain the adequacy of its collateral, if any, and
will make demands, if appropriate, on the mortgage bank, employees, agents, customers and an insurance carrier. Details of any potential asset, collateral or insurance recovery are unknown. A court appointed receiver for the New York mortgage bank
is investigating all aspects of the fraud including the potential recovery of fraudulently received funds.



SWS has capital lease obligations of $1.7 million at December 31, 2002 and $300,000 at June 28, 2002. These obligations bear interest at a weighted average borrowing rate of 2.51%, with principal and
interest payable for 26-29 months from the date of financing. The capital leases are collateralized by computer equipment.



Under the terms of a severance agreement, SWS is obligated to pay a former executive officer a total of $1 million for consulting services. SWS is paying
the former executive $50,000 per month through August 15, 2003.



On October 21, 1999, SWS filed an arbitration claim with the NASD against a former correspondent broker/dealer and its principal for non-performance under the correspondent clearing agreement relating to a $5.7 million margin loan.
In January 2001, SWS obtained a $4.7 million award against the correspondent broker/dealer, but was unsuccessful in its case against the individual principal of the correspondent firm. This loan was fully reserved. SWS has exhausted its collection
efforts and wrote off this margin loan in January of 2003.



In
the general course of its brokerage business and the business of clearing for other brokerage firms, SWS and/or its subsidiaries have been named as defendants in various lawsuits and arbitration proceedings. These claims allege violation of federal
and state securities laws. The Bank is also involved in certain claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that resolution of these claims will not result in any material adverse effect on SWS
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.



The Company has committed $5 million to invest in a limited partnership venture capital fund. As of December 31, 2002, the Company had contributed $2 million of its commitment. Under the terms of the agreement, no more than 30% of
the commitment will be drawn in any twelve-month period. The company has contributed $500,000 during the previous twelve months.



SWS has implemented Financial Interpretation No. 45  Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including
Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5-Contingencies, 57-Related Party, and 107-Disclosure of Fair Value of Financial Instruments and rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34, effective for
reporting periods ending after December 15, 2002.



In connection
with the spin-off of Westwood, SWS agreed to indemnify the Westwood Group from and against any and all past and future liabilities or expenses in excess of $500,000 arising from the Richard A. Boykin Jr. Family Trust (Boykin Trust), for
which Westwood Trust currently serves as trustee. The Boykin Trust is currently in bankruptcy. SWS settled litigation with the beneficiaries of the Boykin Trust in May 2002 for $2 million. SWSs management believes that the resolution of the
remaining issues associated with the Boykin Trust in bankruptcy will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.



In March 2002, SWS issued a loan guarantee for FSB Financial for $10 million. The guarantee is based on a loan agreement between FSB Financial and the
Bank. SWS has agreed to guarantee funds drawn on the loan in excess of $25 million, up to a maximum of $35 million. At December 31, 2002 and June 28, 2002, there were no amounts outstanding on this guarantee.

The Bank has stand-by letters
of credit primarily issued for assigned notes and real estate. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Bank could be required to make under the letters of credit is $934,000. The recourse provisions of the letters of credit allow the
amount of the letters of credit to become a part of the fully collateralized loans with total repayment. The collateral on these letters of credit consist of assigned notes, real estate, equipment, accounts receivable or furniture and fixtures.



NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS



SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based
CompensationTransition and Disclosure an Amendment of FAS No. 123.    Issued in December 2002, this statement provides additional transition guidance for those entities that elect to voluntarily adopt the
accounting provisions of SFAS No.123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No.148 does not change the provisions of SFAS No.123 that permit entities to continue to apply the intrinsic value method of APB No. 25, Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees. FASB No.148 mandates certain new disclosures that are incremental to those required by SFAS No.123. The disclosures must also be made in interim financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The disclosures will be included in the companys Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. The transition and annual disclosure provisions of FASB No.148 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002.
The new interim disclosure provisions are effective for the first interim period beginning after December 15, 2002. SWS will continue to apply the intrinsic value method of ABP No.25. (See discussion under Submission of Matters to a Vote of
Security Holders.The shareholders voted down a shareholder proposal to have SWS forego the use of any form of executive compensation, including executive stock options, unless the cost of such compensation is reflected as an expense on
SWSs annual income statement.) SWS will adopt the new disclosure requirements in the 10-Q for the quarterly period ending March 25, 2003.



Financial Interpretation No. 46  Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board on
January 17, 2003 and certain disclosures are effective for reports issued after January 31, 2003. In accordance with FIN No. 46, SWS has determined that it has one variable interest entity, Southwest Insurance Agency. Southwest Insurance Agency has
two subsidiaries, Southwest Financial Insurance Agency and Southwest Insurance Agency of Alabama. Southwest Insurance Agency and its subsidiaries hold insurance agency licenses in forty-two states for the purpose of facilitating the sale of
insurance and annuities for Southwest Securities, Inc. and SWS Financial Services. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2002, Southwest Insurance Agency would have contributed $72,000 and $82,000 to SWSs net income, respectively.





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





OVERVIEW



SWS Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, SWS) are primarily engaged in securities execution and clearance,
securities brokerage, investment banking, securities lending and borrowing and trading as a principal in equity and fixed income securities. We also engage in full-service banking and asset management activities. All of these activities are highly
competitive. Our business and future prospects may fluctuate due to numerous factors, such as:



| | · |  | the volume of trading in securities and general level of securities prices and interest rates;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | · |  | the level of customer margin loan activity and the size of customer account balances;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | · |  | the credit-worthiness of our correspondents in the event of a material adverse change in the values of margined securities;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | · |  | the demand for investment banking services;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------

| | · |  | the ability to maintain investment management and administrative fees at profitable levels;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | · |  | the total value and composition of assets under management; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------

| | · |  | the ability to attract and retain key personnel.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



Our future operating results are also dependent upon our operating expenses, which are subject to fluctuation due to:



| | · |  | variations in the level of compensation expense incurred as a result of changes in the number of total employees, competitive factors, or other market variables;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

| | · |  | variations in expenses and capital costs, including depreciation, amortization and other non-cash charges incurred to maintain our infrastructure; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | · |  | unanticipated costs which may be incurred from time to time in connection with litigation, loan losses or other contingencies.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



While brokerage revenues are dependent upon the level of trading and
underwriting volume, which may fluctuate significantly, a large portion of SWS expenses remains fixed. Consequently, net operating results can vary significantly from period to period. Our business is also subject to substantial governmental
regulation and changes in legal, regulatory, accounting, tax and compliance requirements that may have a substantial impact on our business and results of operations.



Brokerage Group.    The U.S. equities markets continued to experience challenging
conditions in the first half of fiscal 2003. The average daily volume on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) was 1.2 billion shares in December 2002 versus 1.6 billion shares in June 2002. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was 9,243.30 at
the end of June 2002 versus 8341.63 at the end of December 2002. The volumes and thus the revenues in our clearing business are dependent on active markets. Until the U.S. equity markets show continued sustained growth, we expect volumes and
revenues in the clearing business to remain stagnant or decline. As noted in the detailed analyses that follow, the decline in volumes was most pronounced in our high-volume trading correspondents. We expect this overall trend to continue until the
equity markets recover.



Additionally, average margin balances
reported by NYSE member firms averaged $146 billion in June 2002 and were down to $134 billion in December 2002. SWS relies on margin lending to its customers to generate revenue. SWS margin account balances have declined in the first half of
2003 and generally follow industry trends; therefore, we do not expect improvement in margin interest revenue until industry conditions become more favorable or interest rates increase. Stock loan balances are also influenced by these same market
conditions. Improvement in balances and related earnings will be limited until the environment improves.



When interest rates begin to rise and equity markets strengthen, fixed income results will likely decline. Additionally, as tax revenues for municipalities decline, the volume of municipal financing
transactions, which have been occurring at high levels, will be reduced. The fixed income business accounted for 28% of SWSs operating revenue in the December quarter and 31% of operating revenue for the six-month period.



While SWS completed its conversion to its new brokerage system in August of
2002, ongoing efforts to upgrade and enhance the core system will result in some additional costs in the technology area. Management continues to review equipment and communications in an effort to offset some of the costs of software enhancement.
See Equity Method Investment in the notes to consolidated financial statements.



Management reviewed all areas of the companys operations in the first six months of calendar 2002. This review resulted in $6.4 million in charges in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002 related
primarily to fixed asset and lease impairments from the consolidation of geographic locations. Management is continuing to review all areas of our operations in light of the current business environment to properly focus the company for
profitability. Additional actions could be taken in the future by management that could result in additional charges for lease terminations, asset impairments or other charges.



Management is focusing on growing the brokerage distribution network through the hiring of additional retail brokers and the
opening of new branch office locations in the Southwest. Expansion of this network will require outlay of capital that may not be immediately offset by revenues, which will negatively impact results of operations until new locations become positive
contributors. Breakeven points for new office locations generally take 9-12 months to achieve.

Banking
Group.A substantial portion of the Banks revenue is generated from the single-family construction loan and single-family mortgage loan market. While the banks purchased mortgage loan program is nationwide,
the majority of the banks other lending is concentrated in the North Texas geographic region. The housing market in North Texas is beginning to slow and additional deterioration in the housing market could impede the banks ability to
maintain current levels of loans. The purchased mortgage loan program was at record levels during the December 2002 quarter due to the high level of mortgage refinancing transactions driven by lower mortgage interest rates. Should mortgage interest
rates begin to rise, volumes in this business could decline. Additionally, management reduced credit lines and eliminated certain customers in this line of business to reflect more stringent internal control guidelines. Lastly, due to the fraud
incident in this line of business, First Savings discontinued the purchase mortgage loan program in areas where loan closings are not regularly conducted at title companies.





CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES



The preparation of financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions. Our accounting policies and methodology used in establishing estimates (primarily related to loan loss reserves and other contingency estimates) have not changed materially since June 28, 2002. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year then ended.





RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Net income for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2002 was $849,000 and $539,000, respectively, representing an increase over the comparable quarter ended December 31, 2001 of $27,000 or 3% and a decrease over the
comparable six month period ended December 31, 2001 of $2,213,000 or 80%, respectively. The three month and six month periods ended December 31, 2002 contained 65 and 128 trading days, respectively, while the comparable periods of fiscal 2002
contained 64 and 123 trading days, respectively.



The decrease in
net income from the prior year six-month period is primarily due to the following items all net of tax: non-cash gains recorded on the sale of Knight stock in fiscal 2002 of $7.6 million; Westwood losses of $1.6 million; decrease in clearing
revenues of $6.5 million due to a 48% decrease in the number of transactions processed; and the reduction of expenses from the operation of clearing accounts acquired from SIPC of $3.3 million.



Westwood Group Spin-Off.Effective
June 28, 2002, SWS spun-off Westwood Holdings Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (Westwood Group) to its stockholders. The Westwood Group, comprised of Westwood Management Corporation and Westwood Trust, was included in the results of
operations in fiscal 2002, but is not included in fiscal 2003. The Westwood Group contributed $5,116,000 and $9,876,000 to revenues and $(2,843,000) and $(1,625,000) to net income in the three and six-month periods ended December 31, 2001.



SFAS No. 133 and Sales of Knight
Stock.The adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended, creates a non-cash earnings
impact on our financial statements. SFAS No. 133 is applicable to the Notes, issued in the form of DARTSSM(or,
Derivative Adjustable Ratio SecuritiesSM). The DARTS contain an equity-based derivative designed to
hedge changes in fair value of SWS investment in Knight common stock. At the option of SWS, the principal of the Notes can be paid in shares of the Knight at maturity. This embedded derivative has been designated as a fair value hedge of
SWS investment in Knight shares.



SFAS No. 133 requires
fair value recognition of the DARTS embedded derivative in the consolidated statements of financial condition. Changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative are required to be recognized in earnings, along with the change in fair value
of the Knight shares. For the three and six

months ended December 31, 2002, the impact on the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive
income (loss), representing the change in the time value of money in the embedded derivative was immaterial. For the same comparable periods ended December 31, 2001, SWS recognized a gain of $27,000 and a loss of $123,000, respectively. Under SFAS
No. 133, the related change in the time value of money in the embedded derivative and the changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative, along with the change in fair value of the hedged Knight shares, will be calculated on a quarterly basis
and recognized in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income (loss) until such time as the fair value hedge ceases to exist.



In December 2000, SWS repurchased 640,782, or 63%, of SWS 1,014,332 outstanding DARTS at a cost of approximately $17 million and recorded no
material gain or loss on the repurchase. A like number of Knight shares was released from the hedging provisions of SFAS No. 133. Upon final disposition of these previously hedged shares of Knight stock, SWS recognized a non-cash gain of
approximately $23.50 per share, equal to the decrease in the value of Knight stock from the hedging date (June 16, 1999), to the termination date of hedge accounting (December 20, 2000).



There were no sales of Knight stock in the three and six month periods ending December 31, 2002. SWS disposed of 126,000
shares and 326,000 shares of Knight stock with proceeds from the sales totaling $1,496,000 and $3,732,000 in the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2001, respectively, and realized cash gains on these sales totaling $1,479,000 and
$3,689,000, respectively. As all of the shares sold in the three and six month periods ending December 31, 2001 were previously hedged stock. Consequently, in accordance with SFAS No. 133, SWS recorded non-cash gains of $4,555,000 and $11,785,000,
respectively, related to the shares sold in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income (loss). Therefore, totals gains related to the sales of Knight common stock were $6,034,000 and $15,474,000 during the three and
six-month periods ended December 31, 2001.



The Knight shares
sold in the first and second quarters of fiscal 2002 were sold to fund the advertising commitment of Mydiscountbroker.com, Inc. (Mydiscountbroker), SWS on-line brokerage subsidiary.



At December 31, 2002 and June 28, 2002, SWS held 373,550 shares of Knight
common stock and had 373,550 DARTS outstanding.



Equity
Method Investment.SWS is a part owner of a software development company, Comprehensive Software Systems, Ltd. (CSS). CSS was formed in 1993 to develop a new brokerage front- and back-office system.
SWS initially acquired a 7.96% interest in CSS and accounted for the investment on the cost basis. Through subsequent investments by SWS, SWS ownership in CSS increased to 25.08% in fiscal 2002. Consequently, SWS implemented the equity method
of accounting, prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 18, The Equity Method of Accounting for Investment in Common Stock, with respect to its investment in CSS. As required by APB Opinion No. 18, SWS
restated its fiscal 2002 unaudited quarterly financial statements to record its share of undistributed loss from CSS operations, as well as amortization expense on the portion of the investment designated as goodwill. For the three and six
month periods ended December 31, 2001, SWS proportionate share of the undistributed net loss was $765,000 and $1,284,000, and amortization expense on the designated goodwill was $92,000 and $185,000.



In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, SWS determined that the investment in
CSS and its related goodwill was fully impaired based on an analysis of the projected cash flow from the investment. Therefore, SWS wrote-off the investment in CSS. SWS made no capital contributions to CSS in the first or second quarters of fiscal
2003.



The continued enhancement of SWSs brokerage system
is critical to the growth of SWSs clearing and retail brokerage business. To insure the continued operation and enhancement of the system developer, CSS, SWS entered into a loan agreement dated December 6, 2002 with CSS that calls for a total
advance to

CSS of $3,250,000 in quarterly installments of $812,500 beginning January 6, 2003. Because of this
commitment, SWS will begin recognizing its share of the undistributed losses of CSS in January of 2003.



Sale of First Consumer Credit.    In October 2001, First Savings Bank, FSB (FSB or the Bank) sold its interest in its minority-owned subsidiary First
Consumer Credit, LLC (First Consumer), receiving $1,050,000 and approximately 366,000 common shares of U.S. Home Systems, Inc. (USHS), a company publicly traded on NASDAQ. The shares of USHS were dividended to the Parent and
were recorded at fair market value. FSB recorded a gain of approximately $1,163,000 on the sale of First Consumer.



Mortgage Loan Charge.In the first quarter of fiscal 2003, FSB provided $3.4 million ($2.2 million after-tax
impact on earnings) to establish a reserve for potentially fraudulent mortgages purchased from one New York based mortgage bank. Sixteen loans, aggregating approximately $3.4 million, appear to have been sold twice. SWS is examining public records
to ascertain the adequacy of its collateral, if any, and will make demands, if appropriate, on the mortgage bank, employees, agents, customers and an insurance carrier. Details of any potential asset, collateral or insurance recovery are unknown. A
court appointed receiver for the New York mortgage bank is investigating all aspects of the fraud including the potential recovery of fraudulently received funds.



Income Before Income Tax Expense and Minority Interest in Consolidated Subsidiaries (Pretax
Income).SWS pretax income was $1,290,000 and $1,058,000 in the three and six months ended December 31, 2002 versus pretax income of $2,685,000 and $6,024,000 in the same comparable periods ending
December 31, 2001. The table below calculates SWS pretax income excluding the impact of Westwood (in thousands):

Net Revenues declined
for the quarter and the year by $17.8 million and $25.6 million, respectively. Of the total change, the spin-off of Westwood Holdings represents $5.1 million and $9.9 million, respectively. An additional $3.0 million and $7.6 million, respectively,
relate to gains, net of tax, on the sale of Knight stock in fiscal 2002.



Operating expenses declined $16.4 million and $20.6 million for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2002. The spin-off of Westwood Holdings accounted for $7.5 million and $10.3 million of this decline, respectively.
Additionally, $5.1 million of the savings in operating expenses relates to the clearing business acquired in October 2001 through an SIPC liquidation. That business was operated on a separate system from the rest of our operations until April 2002.
Upon completion of the conversion to SWSs internal system, the personnel and systems relating to that business were eliminated.



Net Revenues from Clearing Operations.Net revenues from clearing decreased from $9.4 million for the three
months ended December 31, 2001 to $4.9 million, or 48%, for the three months ended December 31, 2002 as a result of reduced transaction volumes. Total transactions processed in the second quarter of fiscal 2003 were 6.9 million verses 15.3 million
in the second quarter of fiscal 2002. Total transactions processed in the first half of fiscal 2003 decreased 47.9% to approximately 14.1 million from approximately 27.1 million in fiscal 2002. Net clearing revenue decreased from $16.7 million for
the six months ended December 31, 2001 to $10.2 million or 39% for the six months ended December 31, 2002. The decline in transactions processed was most pronounced in the companys high volume trading correspondents. The decrease in clearing
revenue came despite increased revenue per transaction in the

second quarter of fiscal 2003 over the prior year. Revenue per transaction was $0.70 in the second quarter
of fiscal 2003 verses $0.61 in the second quarter of fiscal 2002.



Commissions.Commission revenue increased in part due to an increase in fixed income commissions due to a strong bond market, as well as increases in commissions from the hiring of
additional sales personnel in institutional sales. These increases were offset by decreased commissions from the SWS Financial Services, Inc.s independent contractor network and reduced commissions in the program trading area, included as
other in the table below. Commission revenue by type of representative is as follows (dollars in thousands):

Net Interest
Income.    SWS net interest income is dependent upon the level of customer and stock loan balances as well as the spread between the rates SWS earns on those assets compared with the cost of funds. Net
interest is the primary source of income for First Savings and represents the amount by which interest and fees generated by earning assets exceed the cost of funds, primarily interest paid to the Banks depositors on interest-bearing accounts.
The components of interest earnings are as follows for the three and six-month periods ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 (in thousands):

Interest revenue from
customer margin balances and interest expense from customer funds on deposit decreased due to both lower interest rates and reduced balances in the first and second quarters of fiscal 2003 over the first and second quarters of fiscal 2002. Interest
revenue on assets segregated for regulatory purposes also decreased due to lower interest rates. Net interest revenue generated from securities lending activities has decreased slightly from the quarter and the year due to reduced spreads. The types
of securities borrowed or loaned and the interest rate environment influence these spreads.



Banking Group.    Net interest revenue generated by the Bank accounted for approximately 14% and 13% of net revenue in the three and six month periods ended December 31,
2002 and 8% and 10% in the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2001. At First Savings, changes in net interest revenue are generally attributable to the timing of loan payoffs and volume. The following table sets forth an analysis of the
Banks net interest income by each major category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for the three month periods ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 (dollars in thousands):

Investment
Banking, Advisory and Administrative Fees.The Westwood Group was spun-off to SWS stockholders on June 28, 2002 and is no longer a part of SWS ongoing operations. Revenue generated by the Westwood
Group in the three and six-month periods ended December 31, 2001 totaled $4.9 million and $9.4 million, and, if removed from the prior year results, investment banking, advisory and administrative fees increased $1.0 million and $3.1 million over
the prior fiscal year. The primary reason for the increase in fiscal 2003 fees over the prior year is increased revenue in municipal finance underwriting and advisory deals as well as in corporate finance activities.



Net Gains on Principal
Transactions.There were no sales of Knight stock in the first or second quarters of fiscal 2003. For the three and six month period ended December 31, 2001, net gains on principal transactions includes
$6,034,000 and $15,474,000 of gains realized on the sale of Knight common stock, respectively. Net gains on principal transactions excluding gains from the sale of the Knight shares were $7.8 million and $9.6 million for the three and six-month
periods ended December 31, 2001.



Net gains, as adjusted for
sales of Knight stock, decreased $5 million for the quarter and were unchanged in the six-month period as compared to the comparable prior year periods. The decrease in the quarter was due to declines in fixed income trading revenue of $2.2 million,
as well as declines in trading gains from corporate proprietary trading. The fixed income markets were strong overall for the quarter; however, the volatility in mid-October of 2002 negatively impacted the fixed income trading operations. SWS
discontinued its corporate proprietary trading in the second quarter of fiscal 2002.



Commissions and Other Employee Compensation.The level of operating revenues, earnings and the number of employees generally affects commissions and other employee compensation.
Overall, commissions and other employee compensation declined $5.4 million and $6.7 million, respectively, for the quarter and the year over comparable periods in fiscal 2002. Substantially all of these declines were due to the spin-off of Westwood.
The second quarter of fiscal 2002 included a one-time compensation charge of approximately $4 million for the sale of 19.8% of Westwoods common stock to Westwood management.

Occupancy, Equipment and
Computer Services.The decrease in the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2002 from the comparable prior year periods is primarily due to the conversion of the business received in an SIPC liquidation in
October of 2001. The conversion of this business to SWSs internal brokerage system reduced occupancy and equipment expenses by $3.1 million in the quarter. Additional contributors to the decline include a decrease in equipment lease expense
due to the completion of the conversion to SWS new operating system in the first quarter of 2003, as well as reduced rent and depreciation charges from the consolidation of offices which occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002.



Communications.Communications expense decreased due to a reduction in quote expense in the three and six-month periods ended December 31, 2002 versus the three and six month periods ended
December 31, 2001 as well as the conversion discussed above.



Floor Brokerage and Clearing Organization Charges.Floor brokerage expenses were down 25% and 10% in the three and six-month periods ended December 31, 2002 versus the same comparable
periods in the prior fiscal year. These charges are impacted by the volume of transactions cleared as well as by the volume of business in institutional equity trading.



Advertising and Promotional.Advertising and promotional expense decreased in
fiscal 2003 over the prior year as a result of eliminating the Mydiscountbroker.com, Inc. ad campaign at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2002. This campaign was funded through the sale of Knight stock.



Other Expense.Excluding the $3.4
million charge for fraudulent loans at the Bank in the first quarter of fiscal 2003, other expense decreased $2.2 million and $5.0 for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2002 when compared to the same periods in fiscal 2002. The
Westwood spin-off accounted for $928,000 and $1,146,000, respectively of the decrease in the three and six month periods. The remaining decreases were primarily due to reduced contract labor and other taxes in the Brokerage Group.



Income Tax Expense.Income tax
expense (effective rate 25% for the quarter ended December 31, 2002 and 7% for the six month period ended December 31, 2002) differed from the amount that would otherwise have been calculated by applying the federal corporate tax rate (35%) to
income before income taxes and minority interest in consolidated subsidiaries. The effective rate was unusually low because the amount of tax-exempt income and other permanently excluded items remained relatively constant while net income before tax
decreased. Permanently excluded items include tax-exempt interest income and minority interest income.





FINANCIAL CONDITION



Loans and Allowance for Probable Loan Losses.    The Bank originates loans to customers primarily within the Dallas/Fort
Worth, Texas metropolitan area. The Bank also purchases loans, in the ordinary course of business, which have been originated in various other areas of the United States. Although the Bank has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of
its debtors ability to honor their contracts is dependent upon the general economic conditions of the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Substantially all of the Banks loans are collateralized with real estate or automobiles.

Loans may be classified
as non-performing when they are 90 days or more past due as to principal or interest or when reasonable doubt exists as to timely collectibility. A standardized review process exists to determine which loans should be placed on non-accrual status.
At the time a loan is placed on non-accrual status, previously accrued and uncollected interest is reversed against interest income. Interest income on non-accrual loans is credited to income on a cash basis. Non-performing assets as of December 31,
2002 and June 28, 2002 are as follows (dollars in thousands):

Deposits.Average deposits and the average interest rate paid on the deposits for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 can be found in the discussion of the Banking
Groups net interest income under the caption Net Interest Income-Banking Group. Certificates of deposit of $100,000 or greater were $217,945,000 and $69,123,000 at December 31, 2002 and June 28, 2002, respectively. In order to
support increased mortgage loan balances, the Bank sought brokered certificates of deposits. These brokered funds bear interest at rates slightly higher than internally generated certificates of deposit. At December 31, 2002, the Bank had $157.1
million of brokered certificates of deposits all of which mature before April 15, 2003. In January, the Bank substantially increased its interest bearing money market accounts through a new product offered by the brokerage unit. This new funding
source should eliminate the need for brokered certificates of deposit in the future.

Advances from Federal
Home Loan Bank (FHLB).The Bank finances its short-term borrowing needs through advances from the FHLB. This table represents advances from the FHLB which were due within one year, generally
1-90 days, during the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 (dollars in thousands):

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES



Brokerage Group.SWS assets are substantially liquid in nature and consist mainly of cash or assets
readily convertible into cash. SWS equity capital, short-term bank borrowings, interest bearing and non-interest bearing client credit balances, correspondent deposits and other payables finance these assets. SWS maintains an allowance for
doubtful accounts which represents amounts, in the judgment of management, that are necessary to adequately absorb losses from known and inherent risks in receivables from clients, clients of correspondents and correspondents.



Short-Term Borrowings.SWS has
credit arrangements with commercial banks, which include broker loan lines up to $350,000,000. These lines of credit are used primarily to finance securities owned, securities held for correspondent broker/dealer accounts and receivables in
customers margin accounts. These credit arrangements are provided on an as offered basis and are not committed lines of credit. Outstanding balances under these credit arrangements are due on demand, bear interest at rates indexed
to the federal funds rate and are collateralized by securities of SWS and its clients. There were no borrowings under these arrangements at December 31, 2002.



SWS has an irrevocable letter of credit agreement aggregating $42,000,000 at December 31, 2002 pledged to support its open options positions with an
options clearing organization. The letter of credit bears interest at the brokers call rate, if drawn, and is renewable annually. This letter of credit is fully collateralized by marketable securities held in client and non-client margin
accounts with a value of $55,330,000 at December 31, 2002. SWS also has unsecured letters of credit, aggregating $4,845,000 at December 31, 2002, pledged to support its open positions with securities clearing organizations. The unsecured letters of
credit bear interest at the prime rate plus 3%, if drawn, and are renewable semi-annually.



In addition to the broker loan lines, SWS has a $20,000,000 unsecured line of credit that is due on demand and bears interest at rates indexed to the federal funds rate, none of which was outstanding
at December 31, 2002.



In the opinion of management, these credit
arrangements are adequate to meet the short-term operating needs of SWS.



Exchangeable Subordinated Notes.SWS has issued $57.5 million of Notes due June 30, 2004. At maturity, the principal of the Notes will be paid in shares of the Class A common stock of Knight or,
at the option of SWS, their cash equivalent. The Notes, which are in the form of DARTSSM(or, Derivative
Adjustable Ratio SecuritiesSM), were issued in denominations of $56.6875, the closing bid price of Knight on
June 10, 1999. At maturity, Note holders are entitled to one share of Knight common stock for each DARTS if the average price for the 20 days immediately preceding the Notes maturity is equal to or less than the

##### Table of Contents

DARTS issue price. Note holders are entitled to .833 shares of Knight common stock for each DARTS if the
average price of Knights common stock is 20% or more greater than the DARTS issue price. If the average price of the Knight common stock is between the Notes issue price and 20% greater than the issue price, the exchange rate will
be determined by a formula. At December 31, 2002, SWS had 373,550 DARTS outstanding with a face value of $21.2 million. After adjusting for the impact of SFAS No. 133, the DARTS are recorded at $6.6 million on the consolidated statements of
financial condition at December 31, 2002.



Capital Lease
Obligations.SWS has capital lease obligations of $1.7 million at December 31, 2002 and $300,000 at June 28, 2002. These obligations bear interest at a weighted average borrowing rate of 2.51%, with
principal and interest payable for 26-29 months from the date of financing. The capital leases are secured by computer equipment.



Net Capital Requirements.SWS broker/dealer subsidiaries are subject to the requirements of the
Securities and Exchange Commission relating to liquidity, capital standards and the use of client funds and securities. SWS has historically operated in excess of the minimum net capital requirements. See Net Capital Requirements in the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.



Banking
Group.The Banks asset and liability management policy is intended to manage interest rate risk. First Savings accomplishes this through management of the repricing of its interest-earning assets and its
interest-bearing liabilities. Overall interest rate risk is monitored through reports showing both sensitivity ratios, a simulation model, and existing gap data.



Liquidity is monitored daily to ensure the ability to support asset growth, meet deposit withdrawals, lending needs, maintain
reserve requirements, and otherwise sustain operations. The Banks liquidity is maintained in the form of readily marketable loans, balances with the FHLB, vault cash, and advances from the FHLB. In addition, First Savings has borrowing
capacity with the FHLB for the purpose of purchasing short-term funds should additional liquidity be needed. Management believes that the Banks present position is adequate to meet its current and future liquidity needs.



First Savings is subject to extensive capital standards imposed by regulatory
bodies, including the Office of Thrift Supervision and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. First Savings has historically met all the capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.



Cash Flow.Net cash used in
operating activities was $43,354,000 for the six-month period ended December 31, 2002 compared to $179,155,000 for the six-month period ended December 31, 2001. In fiscal 2003, the net change in loans held for sale resulted in a much larger negative
cash flow from operations when compared to the six-month period ended December 31, 2001. Also factoring into the change was the net change in client accounts which generated more positive cash flow in the current fiscal year, offset by smaller
negative cash outflow generated by assets segregated for regulatory purposes and broker, dealer and clearing organization accounts. Net cash used in investing activities was $20,281,000 for the six-month period ended December 31, 2002 versus
$11,235,000 for the same period of the prior fiscal year due to a net increase in the Banks loan portfolio offset by the cash proceeds received from the sale of First Consumer Credit LLC, SWSs interest in Westwood Holdings Group, and of
Knight stock in the six month period ended December 31, 2001. Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $77,897,000 for the six month period ended December 31, 2002 compared to $192,918,000 for the same period of the prior fiscal year, as
the Bank increased its deposit base, offset by the decrease in short-term borrowings and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank.



Treasury Stock.In August 2002, SWS Board of Directors reaffirmed managements previous authorization to
repurchase up to one million shares of SWS common stock in the open market. In the six month period ended December 31, 2002, SWS repurchased 364,800 shares at a cost of $4,425,000. There are 336,200 shares remaining that are authorized to be
repurchased under the buy-back program at six month period ended December 31, 2002. Additionally, SWS periodically purchases stock in the open

market for certain employee benefit plans. This stock is classified as treasury stock in SWSs
consolidated financial statements, but would participate in future dividends declared by SWS.





MARKET RISK



Market risk generally represents the risk of loss that may result from the potential change in value of a financial instrument as a result of fluctuations
in interest rates, equity prices, and changes in credit ratings of the issuer. SWS exposure to market risk is directly related to its role as a financial intermediary in customer-related transactions and to its proprietary trading activities.



Interest Rate
Risk.Interest rate risk is a consequence of maintaining inventory positions and trading in interest-rate-sensitive financial instruments. SWS does not maintain material positions in interest-rate-sensitive financial
instruments. SWS fixed income activities also expose it to the risk of loss related to changes in credit spreads. Credit spread risk arises from the potential that changes in an issuers credit rating or credit perception could affect the
value of financial instruments. At the Bank, interest rate risk arises when an interest-earning asset matures or when its rate of interest changes in a timeframe different from that of the supporting interest-bearing liability.



Equity Price Risk.SWS is exposed to
equity price risk as a result of making markets and taking proprietary positions in equity securities. Equity price risk results from changes in the level or volatility of equity prices, which affect the value of equity securities or instruments
that derive their value from a particular stock, a basket of stocks or a stock index.



In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commissions risk disclosure requirements, the following table categorizes securities owned, net of securities sold, not yet purchased which are in SWS trading
portfolio, as well as marketable equity securities in SWS available-for-sale portfolio, which are subject to interest rate and equity price risk (dollars in thousands):

Exchangeable
Subordinated Debt.In addition to the financial instruments included in the above table, SWS has 373,550 DARTS outstanding with a face value of $21.2 million. These Notes mature June 30, 2004 and bear a fixed coupon of
5%. Market risks associated with the DARTS include equity price risk, in that the amount that SWS will pay at maturity depends on the value of Knight common stock. As such, these Notes contain an embedded equity derivative that is subject to
accounting treatment under SFAS



34



---

##### Table of Contents

No. 133. SFAS No. 133 requires fair value recognition of the DARTS embedded derivative in the
consolidated statements of financial condition. Changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative are required to be recognized in earnings, along with the change in fair value of the Knight shares.



Credit Risk.Credit risk arises from the
potential nonperformance by counterparties, customers or debt security issuers. SWS is exposed to credit risk as a trading counterparty to dealers and customers, as a holder of securities and as a member of exchanges and clearing organizations.
Credit exposure is also associated with customer margin accounts, which are monitored daily. SWS monitors exposure to industry sectors and individual securities and performs sensitivity analysis on a regular basis in connection with its margin
lending activities. SWS adjusts its margin requirements if it believes its risk exposure is not appropriate based on market conditions.



Managing Risk Exposure.SWS manages risk exposure through the involvement of various levels of management. Position
limits in trading and inventory accounts are well established and monitored on an ongoing basis. Current and proposed underwriting, banking and other commitments are subject to due diligence reviews by senior management, as well as professionals in
the appropriate business and support units involved. The Bank seeks to reduce the risk of significant adverse effects of market rate fluctuations by minimizing the difference between rate-sensitive assets and liabilities, referred to as
gap, by maintaining an interest rate sensitivity position within a particular timeframe. Credit risk related to various financing activities is reduced by the industry practice of obtaining and maintaining collateral. SWS monitors its
exposure to counterparty risk through the use of credit exposure information, the monitoring of collateral values and the establishment of credit limits.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk



The information required by this item is incorporated in Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations under the caption Market Risk.





Item 4.    
Controls and Procedures



Within the
90-day period prior to the filing of this report, SWS carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of SWS management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the
design and operation of SWS disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon the evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that
SWS disclosure controls and procedures are effective, providing them with material information relating to SWS and its consolidated subsidiaries as required to be disclosed in SWS periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. There have been no significant changes in SWS internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.





PART II.    OTHER INFORMATION



Item 1.    
Legal Proceedings



In the general
course of its brokerage business and the business of clearing for other brokerage firms, SWS and/or its subsidiaries have been named as defendants in various lawsuits and arbitration proceedings. These claims allege violation of federal and state
securities laws. The Bank is also involved in certain claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that resolution of these claims will not result in any material adverse effect on SWS consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
