Explanatory Note

SWS Group, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, we, us, SWS or the company) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (this Amendment)
to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 24, 2010, originally filed on November 3, 2010 (the Original Filing). For the convenience of the reader, this Amendment sets forth the Original Filing in
its entirety, as amended by this Amendment. However, this Amendment only amends Items 1, 2 and 4 of Part I of the Original Filing. In addition, as required by Rule 12b-15 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
Exchange Act), new certifications by the companys principal executive officer and principal financial officer are filed as exhibits to this Amendment.

Item 1 of Part I is being amended to correct an accounting error that resulted in: (i) a dollar-for-dollar overstatement of loans held for sale and understatement of loans,
net on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of September 24, 2010 and (ii) a dollar-for-dollar misclassification of cash flows related to these loans as cash flows from operating activities rather than
cash flows from investing activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended September 24, 2010. For additional information regarding this restatement, see Restatement contained in Item 1
of Part I. Item 2 of Part I is being amended solely to make conforming changes related to the restatement. Item 4 of Part I is being amended to disclose managements conclusions regarding the ineffectiveness of the companys
disclosure controls and procedures.

Except for the information described above, this Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the
filing of the Original Filing and unless otherwise stated herein, the information contained in the Amendment is current only as of the time of the Original Filing. Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Original Filing.
Accordingly, the Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Companys filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Three-Months Ended September 24, 2010 and September 25, 2009

(Unaudited)

GENERAL
AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The interim consolidated financial statements as of September 24, 2010, and for the three-months ended
September 24, 2010 and September 25, 2009, are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, these interim statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial position, results of operations and cash flows. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes as of and for the fiscal year ended June 25, 2010 filed on
Form 10-K. Amounts included for June 25, 2010 are derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as filed on Form 10-K. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SWS Group, Inc. (SWS Group) and the consolidated active subsidiaries listed
below (collectively with SWS Group, SWS or the Company):



|                                            |  |                              
|------------------------------------------- |  | -----------------------------
|Southwest Securities, Inc.                  |  | Southwest Securities       
|SWS Financial Services, Inc.                |  | SWS Financial              
|Southwest Financial Insurance Agency, Inc.  |  |                              
|Southwest Insurance Agency, Inc.            |  |                              
|Southwest Insurance Agency of Alabama, Inc. |  | collectively, SWS Insurance
|SWS Banc Holdings, Inc.                     |  | SWS Banc                   
|Southwest Securities, FSB                   |  | Bank                       

Southwest Securities is a New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) member broker/dealer and Southwest Securities and
SWS Financial, both registered investment advisors, are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). Each is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) as a broker/dealer under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) and as registered investment advisors under the Investment Advisors Act of 1940.

SWS Insurance holds insurance agency licenses in forty-three states for the purpose of facilitating the sale of insurance and annuities for Southwest
Securities and its correspondents. The Company retains no underwriting risk related to the insurance and annuity products that SWS Insurance sells.

The Bank is a federally chartered savings bank regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS). SWS Banc was incorporated as a wholly owned subsidiary of SWS Group and became the sole
stockholder of the Bank in 2004.

Consolidated Financial Statements. The quarterly consolidated financial statements of SWS are
customarily closed on the last Friday of the month. The Banks first quarter financial statements are prepared as of September 30, 2010. Any individually material transactions are reviewed and recorded in the appropriate quarterly period.
All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Restatement. In August 2011, SWS determined that
loan participations acquired under its standard mortgage purchase program agreement did not meet the new participating interest requirements under amended Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 860, Transfers and Servicing,
(ASC 860), which was effective for SWS for transfers after July 1, 2010. Accordingly, the loan participations in the mortgage purchase program which were previously classified as loans held for sale should have been considered loans held
for investment and reported as loans, net on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. As a result, SWS overstated loans held for sale and understated loans, net on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of September 24,
2010 and misclassified cash flows related to these loans as cash flows from operating activities rather than cash flows from investing activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended September 24, 2010. This change
had no impact on the Consolidated Statements of Income, the allowance for loan losses or Bank regulatory capital ratios. The mortgage purchase program is discussed in detail in Loans Held for Sale.

Change in Accounting Estimate. Due to continued deterioration in the Banks loan portfolio, depressed
appraised values for collateral, continued high unemployment rates in Texas and deteriorating banking industry loss statistics, the Banks management reevaluated its problem loan volume trend component in its provision for loan loss
computation. The problem loan volume trend component now includes two separate calculations for criticized and classified loans. Prior to the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Bank had one calculation for these loans. To more appropriately assess
these loans, the Bank segregated these loans and applied two separate historical loss ratios, one being the regular loss historical loan loss ratio applied to classified loans and the other being based on distressed sale charge-off levels applied to
criticized loans. This change resulted in an approximately $13,600,000 increase to the loan loss provision in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

Amortization Expense. The Company has recorded a customer relationship intangible which is amortized over a five year period at a rate based on
the estimated future economic benefit of the customer relationships. See additional discussion in Intangible Assets.

Income Taxes.SWS and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return. Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability
method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates
is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Certain deferred tax assets are derived from capital losses, which
depend on having sufficient capital gain income within the carry-back and carry-forward period available under the tax law. The Companys deferred tax assets include $844,000 which reflects the benefit of capital losses associated with its
investments in certain partnership assets. As of September 24, 2010, the Company did not believe it was more likely than not that sufficient capital gain income would be generated to offset these capital losses. Accordingly, the Company
established a valuation allowance in the amount of $844,000.

At September 24, 2010, the Company had approximately $1,527,000 of
unrecognized tax benefits. The Companys net liability increased $406,000 from June 25, 2010 to September 24, 2010 due to unrecognized tax benefits related to tax positions taken on previously filed returns and returns expected to be
filed in the current year. While the Company expects that the net liability for uncertain tax positions will change during the next twelve months, the Company does not believe that the change will have a significant impact on its consolidated
financial position or results of operations.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties on income taxes in income tax expense. Included in the net
liability was accrued interest and penalties of $266,000, net of federal benefit, as of September 24, 2010 and $273,000 as of June 25, 2010. The total amount of unrecognized income tax benefits that, if recognized, would reduce income tax
expense, net of federal benefit, was approximately $1,261,000 as of September 24, 2010 and $848,000 as of June 25, 2010.

With
limited exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or local tax audits by taxing authorities for tax years preceding 2006. A state agency is currently examining returns for the tax years ended December 31, 2006 through
2008.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company adopted the fair value accounting standard effective June 28, 2008. Fair value accounting establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements.

Under fair value accounting, fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the primary market in which the reporting entity transacts. The standard clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when
pricing the asset or liability. In support of this principle, the standard establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in
active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data. Under the standard, fair value measurements are separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure
fair value:



| |  |  | Level 1 Quoted prices in an active market for identical assets or liabilities. Assets and liabilities utilizing Level 1
inputs include the following: a) the Companys investment in U.S. Home Systems, Inc. (USHS) common stock; b) the Companys deferred compensation plans investment in Westwood Holdings Group, Inc. (Westwood)
common stock; c) the Companys investment in government guaranteed bonds purchased under the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (TLGP); and d) certain inventories held in the Companys securities owned and securities sold,
not yet purchased portfolio. Valuation of these instruments does not require a high degree of judgment as the valuations are based on quoted prices in active markets that are readily available.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in
markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Assets and liabilities utilizing Level 2 inputs include certain
inventories held in the Companys securities owned and securities sold, not yet purchased portfolio. These financial instruments are valued using quoted prices that are less frequent than those in active markets or by models that use various
assumptions that are derived from or supported by data that is generally observable in the marketplace. Valuations in this category are inherently less reliable than quoted market prices due to the degree of subjectivity involved in determining
appropriate methodologies and the applicable underlying observable market assumptions.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of
the assets and liabilities. Assets and liabilities utilizing Level 3 inputs include certain inventories held in the Companys securities owned portfolio. These financial instruments have significant inputs that cannot be validated by readily
determinable market data and generally involve considerable judgment by management.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair
value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying balance sheet, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Assets Segregated for Regulatory Purposes. Because quoted market prices are available in an active market, these securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. These
securities include government bonds purchased under the TLGP.

Securities Available for Sale. Because quoted
market prices are available in an active market, these securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. These securities include the Companys investment in USHS common stock and the Companys deferred compensation
plans investment in Westwood common stock.

Securities Owned and Securities Sold, Not Yet Purchased Portfolio.Securities classified as Level 1 securities primarily consist of financial instruments whose value is based on quoted market prices such as corporate equity securities and U.S. government obligations.

Securities classified as Level 2 securities include financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies.
These models are primarily industry standard models that consider various assumptions, including time value, yield curve, volatility factors, current market and contractual prices for the underlying financial instruments, as well as other relevant
economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Securities in this category
include corporate debt, certain U.S. government and government agency obligations and municipal obligations.

Securities
classified as Level 3 securities are securities whose fair value is estimated based on internally developed models or methodologies, including discounted cash flow, utilizing significant inputs that are generally less readily observable. Included in
this category are certain corporate equity securities and municipal auction rate securities.

At both September 24, 2010
and June 25, 2010, the Company held one municipal auction rate bond with a par amount of $23,300,000. This security is an investment grade credit, was valued at 95.7% of par, or $22,298,000, at both September 24, 2010 and June 25,
2010, and yielded less than 1% per year for both periods. The interest rate on the bond is based on the LIBOR rate. The discount on the value of the bond is due to a lack of marketability. While management does not expect any reduction in the
cash flow from this bond, the disruption in the credit markets has led to auction failures. The Company currently has the ability to hold this investment until maturity. While the Company expects the issuer of this bond to refinance the debt when
LIBOR interest rates rise, there can be no certainty that this refinancing will occur. The Company believes the valuation of this bond at 95.7% of par at September 24, 2010 reflected an appropriate discount for the current lack of liquidity in
this investment.

Substantially all of SWSs brokerage assets and liabilities are carried at market value or at amounts which, because of
their short-term nature, approximate current fair value.

Changes in unrealized gains (losses) and realized gains (losses) for corporate and municipal obligations and corporate
equity securities are presented in Net gains on principal transactions on the consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).

The total unrealized gain included in earnings that related to assets still held for the three-month period ended September 24, 2010 was $2,000.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Stock Option
Plans. There were no active stock option plans at September 24, 2010. All outstanding options under the SWS Group, Inc. Stock Option Plan (the 1996 Plan) may still be exercised until their contractual expiration date occurs.
Options granted under the 1996 Plan have a maximum ten-year term, and all options are fully vested.

Restricted Stock Plan. The
Restricted Stock Plan allows for awards of up to 1,250,000 shares of SWS Groups common stock to SWSs directors, officers and employees. No more than 300,000 of the authorized shares may be newly issued shares of common stock. The
Restricted Stock Plan terminates on August 21, 2013. The vesting period is determined on an individual basis by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. In general, restricted stock granted to employees under the Restricted Stock
Plan vests pro-rata over a three year period, and restricted stock granted to non-employee directors vests on the one year anniversary of the date of grant.

During the first three months of fiscal 2011, no restricted stock grants were approved by the Board of Directors. In the first three months of fiscal 2010, the Board of Directors approved grants to
various officers and employees totaling 144,844 shares with a weighted average market value of $14.78 per share. SWS recorded deferred compensation in Additional paid-in capital of approximately $1,989,000 in fiscal 2010. For the
three-months ended September 24, 2010 and September 25, 2009, SWS recognized compensation expense related to restricted stock grants of approximately $225,000 and $598,000, respectively.

At September 24, 2010, the total number of unvested shares outstanding under the Restricted Stock Plan was 158,234 and the total number of shares
available for future grants was 410,737.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

For the purpose of the consolidated statements of cash flows, SWS considers cash to include cash on hand and in bank accounts. In addition, SWS considers funds due from banks and interest bearing deposits
in other banks to be cash. Highly liquid debt instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less, when acquired, are considered to be cash equivalents. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insures accounts
up to $250,000. At September 24, 2010 and June 25, 2010, cash balances included $11,358,000 and $13,988,000, respectively, that were not federally insured because they represented amounts in individual accounts above the federally insured
limit for each such account. This at-risk amount is subject to fluctuation on a daily basis, but management does not believe there is significant risk with respect to such deposits.

The Bank is required to maintain balances on hand or with the Federal Reserve Bank. At
September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, these reserve balances amounted to $13,428,000 and $10,776,000, respectively.

INVESTMENTS

SWS has interests in three investment partnerships that are accounted for under the equity method, which approximates fair value. One is a
limited partnership venture capital fund to which SWS has committed $5,000,000. As of September 24, 2010, SWS has fulfilled its $5,000,000 commitment. Based on a review of the fair value of this limited partnership investment, SWS determined
that its share of the investments made by the limited partnership should be valued at $2,278,000 as of September 24, 2010. SWS recorded a net loss on this investment for the three-months ended September 24, 2010 of $16,000. In comparison,
during the three-months ended September 25, 2009, SWS recorded a net loss of $34,000 on this investment.

The other two investments are
limited partnership equity funds to which the Bank committed $3,000,000 in fiscal 2007 and $2,000,000 in fiscal 2009 as a cost effective way of meeting its obligations under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 (CRA). As of
September 30, 2010, the Bank had invested $3,000,000 of its aggregate commitment of $5,000,000 to the two funds. During the three-months ended September 30, 2010, the Bank recorded net losses of $127,000 related to these investments. In
comparison, during the three-months ended September 30, 2009, the Bank recorded gains of $368,000 related to these investments.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2010, the Bank purchased GNMA securities at a cost of $83,047,000 including a premium of
$837,000. The premium is amortized over an average life of four years using the interest method. The Bank recorded $97,000 in amortization of the premium during the first quarter of fiscal 2011. During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Bank
received $2,546,000 of principal and interest payments, recording $491,000 in interest. Currently, Bank management has determined that the investment will be held until maturity. The weighted average yield on this investment is expected to be 2.1%.

In addition, at June 30 and September 30, 2010, the Bank held municipal bonds from state and political subdivisions. The Bank
recorded amortization of the discount on these securities of $4,900 and $6,900 for the three-months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the issuer redeemed securities valued at $5,999,000
resulting in a gain of $1,078,000.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investments held to maturity at September 30, 2010, by
contractual maturity, are shown below (in thousands). Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or repay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

SWS participates in the securities borrowing and lending business by borrowing and lending securities other than those of
its clients. SWS obtains or releases collateral as prices of the underlying securities fluctuate. At September 24, 2010, SWS had collateral of $1,815,823,000 under securities lending agreements, of which SWS had repledged $1,732,282,000. At
June 25, 2010, SWS had collateral of $1,798,791,000 under securities lending agreements, of which SWS had repledged $1,732,411,000.

LOANS HELD FOR SALE

Loans held for sale
consist of originated loans that were held for investment that management subsequently decided to sell as well as purchased loans held for sale acquired under the mortgage purchase program.

Originated loans that are held for sale (other loans held for sale) are valued at the lower of cost or fair value as determined by the negotiated sales price or if no sales price is yet determined, at an
agreed upon acceptance price as determined by a third party valuation and management.

Other loans held for sale were transferred to the held
for sale category in anticipation of immediate disposition. These are classified loans that are being marketed through an international marketing campaign. The fair value of these loans was determined using a discounted cash flow model to reflect
the return required for immediate disposition of a distressed loan. These loans are valued using Level 3 valuation methodologies, see further discussion of Level 3 methodologies in Fair Value of Financial Instruments.

The loan participations in the mortgage purchase program are acquired from various mortgage companies and valued at the lower of cost or fair value as
determined by outstanding commitments from investors or current investor yield requirements calculated on the aggregate note basis. The purchased loans are pre-sold by the mortgage company to secondary investors who have been approved by the Bank.
Gains and losses on the sale of loans held for sale in the mortgage purchase program are determined using the specific identification method.

The mortgage purchase program has been in place since 1992. For loans purchased prior to June 30, 2010, the Bank reported these loans as loans held
for sale under guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Boards Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of
Liabilities. With the amendment of the accounting guidance under ASC 860, which was effective for the Company on July 1, 2010, the Company determined that the agreements used in its mortgage purchase program no longer met the participating
interest requirements of the new accounting guidance. As a result, the Company has reported the loans in the mortgage purchase program acquired after July 1, 2010 as loans, net at September 24, 2010 on the Consolidated Statements of Financial
Condition. Because these transactions did not qualify for sale accounting, the Bank recognizes these as loans to the mortgage seller secured by the individual loans transferred to the Bank rather than as loans to the individual mortgage
borrowers as was previously the case. There has been no change to the Companys mortgage purchase program or its operations.

LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR PROBABLE LOAN LOSSES

The Bank grants loans to customers primarily within Texas and New Mexico. 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 Texas and New Mexico.

Loans receivable at September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010
are summarized as follows (in thousands):



|                                   |  |                     |           |   |      |   |           |

Impairment of loans with a recorded investment of approximately $94,082,000 and $41,116,000 was recognized at
September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively. The year to date average recorded investment in impaired loans was approximately $60,615,000 for the three-months ended September 30, 2010 and $11,914,000 for the three-months ended
September 30, 2009. No specific allowance for loan losses is recorded if the impaired loans are adequately collateralized. The total allowance for loan losses related to these loans was approximately $3,992,000 and $3,211,000 at
September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively. No material amount of interest income on impaired loans was recognized for cash payments received in the first three-months of either fiscal 2011 or fiscal 2010.

Loans are 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
collectability. The Bank uses a standardized review process 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 subsequently recognized to the extent cash payments are received for loans where ultimate full collection is likely. For loans where ultimate collection is not likely, interest payments are applied to
the outstanding principal and income is only recognized if full payment is made. Total non-accrual loans at September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010 were $75,231,000 and $38,428,000, respectively. The average recorded investment in non-accrual
loans was approximately $53,875,000 during the first three-months of fiscal 2011 and $28,065,000 during the first three-months of fiscal 2010. The Bank did not recognize any income on non-accrual loans during the three-months ended
September 30, 2010 and 2009. No additional funds are committed to be advanced in connection with impaired loans.

The allowance to ending loan balance ratio as of September 30, 2010 and 2009 was 3.38% and 1.44%, respectively.

During the three-months ended September 30, 2010, the Bank sold $5,193,000 of participations in certain loans subject to small business
administration (SBA) guarantees with a total unpaid principal balance of $6,338,000. The guaranteed portion of these loans are subject to a 90-day recourse period related to the borrowers timely payments, and sale accounting for
the participations has been deferred until this recourse period has expired. As such, included in the Banks loan and short-term borrowing balances at September 30, 2010 are $5,193,000 of loans sold prior to September 30, 2010. The
amounts sold represent the guaranteed portion of the SBA loans. The non-guaranteed portion of the loans was retained by the Bank. Additionally, loan origination fees of $491,000 received by the Bank related to the guaranteed portion of these loans
will be deferred until the 90-day recourse period has expired, at which time this amount will be recognized as income.

Fair values of loans
receivable are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar characteristics. Loans are segregated by type, such as real estate, commercial and consumer, which are further segregated into fixed and adjustable rate interest terms. The fair value of
loans receivable is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Loan fair value estimates include
judgments regarding future expected loss experience and risk characteristics. The fair value of loans receivable was $1,425,588,000 and $1,264,675,000 at September 30, 2010 (restated) and June 30, 2010.

REAL ESTATE OWNED (REO) AND OTHER REPOSSESSED ASSETS

REO and other repossessed assets are valued at the lower of cost or market, less a selling discount, and are included in other assets on the consolidated statement of financial condition. For those
investments where the REO is valued at market, the value is determined by third party appraisals, or if the REO is being sold in an auction, by accepted bid amount. For those REO assets that are in the auction and a bid has not been accepted, a fair
value estimate is derived by utilizing market data including appraised value adjusted for distressed sales. In certain circumstances, the Company adjusts appraised values to more accurately reflect the economic conditions of the area at the time of
valuation. These adjustments are largely based on the length of time lapsed from the latest appraisal. Included in other repossessed assets are land leases which are valued using a discounted cash flow analysis. The fair value of REO and other
repossessed assets was $40,484,000 and $46,194,000 at September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively. The amount of additional write-downs required to reflect current fair value during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 and 2009
was $7,449,000 and $1,513,000, respectively.

During the three-months ended September 24, 2010, certain of the above securities were pledged to secure short-term
borrowings and as security deposits at clearing organizations for SWSs clearing business. See additional discussion in Short-Term Borrowings. Securities pledged as security deposits at clearing organizations were $4,099,000
and $2,899,000 at September 24, 2010 and June 25, 2010, respectively. Additionally, at September 24, 2010 and June 25, 2010, SWS had pledged firm securities valued at $1,637,000 and $1,089,000, respectively, in conjunction with
securities lending activities.

SECURITIES PURCHASED UNDER AGREEMENTS TO RESELL

Transactions involving purchases of securities under agreement to resell (reverse repurchase agreements) are accounted for as collateralized
financings except where SWS does not have an agreement to sell the same or substantially the same securities before maturity at a fixed or determinable price. At September 24, 2010, SWS held reverse repurchase agreements totaling $45,137,000,
collateralized by U.S. government and government agency obligations with a market value of approximately $44,959,000. At June 25, 2010, SWS held reverse repurchase agreements totaling $30,507,000, collateralized by U.S. government and
government agency obligations with a market value of approximately $30,465,000.

GOODWILL

SWS performed its annual assessment of the fair value of goodwill during fiscal 2010 in June 2010, and based on the results of the assessment, SWSs
goodwill balance was not impaired. SWS bases its assessment of the fair value of the business units with goodwill on a weighted average of a discounted cash flow model estimate of fair value and a market multiple approach to fair value.

There were no events in the first three months of fiscal 2011 that would trigger an interim assessment of the fair value of goodwill. SWSs goodwill
balance was $7,552,000 at September 24, 2010, of which $4,254,000 was in the clearing segment and $3,298,000 was in the institutional segment.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

On March 22, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with TD
Ameritrade Holding Corporation (Ameritrade), to transfer its correspondent clients to the Company. This transaction

closed in July 2006. Of the maximum agreed upon purchase price of $5,800,000, $2,382,000 was paid upon closing with the remainder paid on the one year anniversary of the closing date. SWS paid an
additional $2,678,000 in July 2007 under the terms of the agreement. As a result of these transactions, the Company recorded a customer relationship intangible of $5,060,000. The intangible asset is amortized over a five year period at a rate based
on the estimated future economic benefit of the customer relationships. SWS recognized approximately $196,000 and $236,000 of amortization expense for the three-months ended September 24, 2010 and September 25, 2009, respectively. The net
intangible asset of $595,000 is included in other assets on the consolidated statements of financial condition. SWS performed its annual analysis of the impairment of its intangible asset in June 2010 and based on its analysis, SWSs intangible
asset balance was not impaired. Nothing came to SWSs attention in the three-months ended September 24, 2010 that would require SWS to reperform this analysis.

SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

Brokerage.Southwest Securities has credit arrangements with
commercial banks, which include broker loan lines up to $300,000,000. These lines of credit are used primarily to finance securities owned, securities held for correspondent broker/dealer accounts, receivables in customers margin accounts and
underwriting activities. 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. At September 24, 2010, the amount outstanding under these secured
arrangements was $95,500,000, which was collateralized by securities held for firm accounts valued at $110,680,000 and securities held for correspondent accounts valued at $35,100,000. At June 25, 2010, the amount outstanding under these
secured arrangements was $110,000,000, which was collateralized by securities held for firm accounts valued at $167,564,000.

SWS had $250,000
outstanding under unsecured letters of credit at September 24, 2010 and June 25, 2010, pledged to support its open positions with securities clearing organizations. The letters of credit bear a 1% commitment fee and are renewable
semi-annually.

At June 25, 2010, SWS had an additional unsecured letter of credit issued for a sub-lease of space previously occupied by
Mydiscountbroker.com, a subsidiary of SWS that was dissolved in July 2004, in the amount $143,000. This letter of credit expired September 10, 2010.

SWS also had $500,000 outstanding under an unsecured letter of credit at September 24, 2010 and June 25, 2010, pledged to support its underwriting activities. The letter of credit bears a 1%
commitment fee and is renewable annually at SWSs option.

In addition to the broker loan lines, at September 24, 2010 and
June 25, 2010, SWS had a $20,000,000 unsecured line of credit that is due on demand and bears interest at rates indexed to the federal funds rate. This credit arrangement is provided on an as offered basis and is not a committed
line of credit. The total amount of borrowings available under this line of credit is reduced by the amount outstanding on the line and under any unsecured letters of credit at the time of borrowing. At September 24, 2010, there was $10,000,000
outstanding on this line in addition to the $750,000 under unsecured letters of credit referenced above. At June 25, 2010, there were no amounts outstanding on this line, other than the $893,000 under unsecured letters of credit referenced
above. At September 24, 2010 and June 25, 2010, the total amount available for borrowing was $9,250,000 and $19,107,000, respectively.

At September 24, 2010 and June 25, 2010, SWS had an irrevocable letter of credit agreement aggregating $49,000,000 and $55,000,000, respectively, pledged to support customer open options
positions with an options clearing organization. The letter of credit bears interest at the brokers call rate (0.5% at September 24, 2010), if drawn, and is renewable semi-annually. The letter of credit is fully collateralized by
marketable securities held in client and non-client margin accounts with a value of $65,083,000 and $80,946,000 at September 24, 2010 and June 25, 2010, respectively.

On January 29, 2010, Southwest Securities entered into an agreement with an unaffiliated bank for a
$50,000,000 committed revolving credit facility. The facility includes up to $15,000,000 in unsecured credit. The commitment fee is 37.5 basis points and when drawn, the interest rate is equal to the federal funds rate plus 75 basis points. The
agreement provides that Southwest Securities must maintain tangible net worth of $150,000,000. As of September 24, 2010, there was $44,000,000 outstanding under the committed revolving credit facility, of which $15,000,000 was unsecured. The
$29,000,000 of secured borrowings was collateralized by securities with a value of $52,815,000 at September 24, 2010.

In addition to
using customer securities to collateralize bank loans, SWS also loans client securities as collateral in conjunction with SWSs securities lending activities. At September 24, 2010, approximately $282,980,000 of client securities under
customer margin loans was available to be pledged, of which SWS had pledged $50,172,000 under securities loan agreements. At June 25, 2010, approximately $275,260,000 of client securities under customer margin loans was available to be pledged,
of which SWS had pledged $41,629,000 under securities loan agreements.

Banking. The Bank has an agreement with an unaffiliated bank
for a $30,000,000 unsecured line of credit for the purchase of federal funds with a floating interest rate. The unaffiliated bank is not obligated by this agreement to sell federal funds to the Bank. The proceeds from the line of credit are used by
the Bank to support short-term liquidity needs. At September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, there were no amounts outstanding on this line of credit.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2010, the Bank entered into a secured line of credit agreement with the Dallas Federal Reserve Bank. This line of credit is secured by the Banks commercial loan
portfolio. This line is due on demand and bears interest at a rate equal to the federal funds target rate plus 25 basis points. At September 30, 2010, the total amount available under this line was $109,639,000 and there was no amount
outstanding as of that date.

During the three-months ended September 30, 2010, the Bank sold $5,193,000 of participations in certain
loans subject to SBA guarantees with a total unpaid principal balance of $6,338,000. The guaranteed portion of these loans are subject to a 90-day recourse period related to the borrowers timely payments, and sale accounting for the
participations has been deferred until this recourse period has expired. As such, included in the Banks loan and short-term borrowing balances at September 30, 2010 are $5,193,000 of loans sold prior to September 30, 2010. The
amounts sold represent the guaranteed portion of the SBA loans. The non-guaranteed portion of the loans was retained by the Bank. Additionally, loan origination fees of $491,000 received by the Bank related to the guaranteed portion of these loans
will be deferred until the 90-day recourse period has expired, at which time this amount will be recognized as income.

The Bank is funded primarily by core deposits, with interest bearing checking accounts and savings accounts from
Southwest Securities customers making up a significant source of these deposits.

The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity,
such as interest-bearing checking accounts, passbook savings accounts and advance payments from borrowers for taxes and insurance, are equal to the amount payable on demand (carrying value) as these deposits are very liquid and can reprice
immediately. The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The fair value of
certificates of deposit was $66,655,000 and $74,155,000 at September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively. The fair value of other deposits was $1,415,169,000 and $1,415,528,000 at September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010,
respectively.

SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE

Securities sold under repurchase agreements, which are secured borrowings, generally mature within one to four days from the transaction date. Securities sold under repurchase agreements are reflected at
the amount of cash received in connection with the transactions. The Company may be required to provide additional collateral based on the fair value of the underlying securities. The Company monitors the fair value of the underlying securities on a
daily basis. Securities sold under repurchase agreements at September 24, 2010 and June 25, 2010 were $12,843,000 and $12,389,000, respectively.

At September 30, 2010 (calculated at June 30, 2010), the advances from the FHLB had interest rates ranging from
2% to 7% and were collateralized by approximately $621,000,000 of collateral value (as defined) in qualifying loans. At June 30, 2010 (calculated at March 31, 2010), the advances from the FHLB had interest rates from 1% to 7% and were
collateralized by approximately $483,000,000 of collateral value in qualifying first mortgage loans.

The fair value of advances from the FHLB is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The
discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for borrowings of similar remaining maturities. The fair value of advances from the FHLB was $127,467,000 and $146,560,000 at September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively.

REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

Brokerage. The Companys broker/dealer subsidiaries are subject to the SECs 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, as defined in Rule 15c3-1 of the Exchange Act, equal to the greater of $1,000,000 or 2% of aggregate debit
balances, as defined in Rule 15c3-3 of the Exchange Act. At September 24, 2010, Southwest Securities had net capital of $105,380,000, or approximately 34.3% of aggregate debit balances, which was $99,227,000 in excess of its minimum net capital
requirement of $6,153,000 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
September 24, 2010, Southwest Securities had net capital of $89,998,000 in excess of 5% of aggregate debit items.

SWS Financial follows the primary (aggregate indebtedness) method under Exchange Act Rule 15c3-1, which requires the
maintenance of the larger of minimum net capital of $250,000 or 1/15 of aggregate indebtedness. At September 24, 2010, the net capital and excess net capital of SWS Financial was $881,000 and $631,000, respectively.

Banking. The Bank 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 12 CFR 565 and 12 CFR 567) to risk-weighted assets (as defined ) and of Tier I (core)
capital (as defined) to adjusted assets (as defined). Effective July 13, 2010, the Bank entered into an informal Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the OTS. The MOU provides that the Bank will maintain a Tier I (core) capital
ratio of 8% (4% minimum regulatory requirement) and a total risk-based capital ratio of 12% (8% minimum regulatory requirement). See additional discussion in Memorandum of Understanding with the Office of Thrift Supervision.
Management believes, as of September 30, 2010, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

As of
September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, the Bank 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 (core) capital ratios. Should the Bank not meet these minimums, certain mandatory and discretionary supervisory actions (as defined in 12 CFR 565.6) would be applicable.

REPURCHASE OF TREASURY STOCK

Periodically, SWS repurchases common stock under a plan approved by our Board of Directors. Currently, SWS has been authorized to repurchase 500,000 shares of common stock from time to time in the open
market, expiring February 28, 2011. No shares were repurchased by SWS under this program during the three-months ended September 24, 2010 and September 25, 2009.

Additionally, the trustee under SWSs deferred compensation plan periodically purchases common stock in the open market in accordance with the terms of the plan. This stock is classified as treasury
stock in the consolidated financial statements, but participates in future dividends declared by SWS. The plan did not purchase shares in the three-months ended September 24, 2010. The plan purchased 15,099 shares in the three-months ended
September 25, 2009, at a cost of approximately $228,000, or $15.09 per share. The plan distributed 927 shares in the three-months ended September 24, 2010.

Upon vesting of the shares granted under the Restricted Stock Plan, the grantees may choose to sell a portion of their vested shares to the Company to cover the tax liabilities arising from the vesting.
As a result, 18,095 shares were repurchased with a market value of approximately $131,000, or an average price of $7.22 per share, in the three-months ended September 24, 2010. In the three-months ended September 25, 2009, 19,500 shares
were repurchased with a market value of $290,000, or an average of $14.90 per share.

SEGMENT REPORTING

SWS operates four business segments:



| |  |  | Clearing: The clearing segment provides clearing and execution services (generally on a fully disclosed basis) for general securities broker/dealers,
for bank affiliated firms and firms specializing in high volume trading.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Retail: The retail brokerage segment includes retail securities products and services (equities, mutual funds and fixed income products), insurance
products and managed accounts and encompasses the activities of our employee registered representatives and our independent representatives who are under contract with SWS Financial.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Institutional: The institutional brokerage segment serves institutional customers in securities lending, investment banking and public finance, fixed
income sales and trading, proprietary trading and agency execution services.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Banking: The Bank offers traditional banking products and services and focuses on small business lending and short-term funding for mortgage bankers.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clearing and institutional brokerage services are offered exclusively through Southwest Securities. The Bank and its
subsidiaries comprise the banking segment. Retail brokerage services are offered through Southwest Securities (the Private Client Group and the Managed Advisors Accounts department), SWS Insurance, and through SWS Financial (which contracts with
independent representatives for the administration of their securities business).

SWSs segments are managed separately based on types
of products and services offered and their related client bases. The segments are consistent with how the Company manages its resources and assesses its performance. Management assesses performance based primarily on income before income taxes and
net interest revenue (expense). As a result, SWS reports net interest revenue (expense) by segment. SWSs business segment information is prepared using the following methodologies:



| |  |  | the financial results for each segment are determined using the same policies as those described in Note 1, Significant Accounting
Policies, to the Companys audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Companys Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 25, 2010;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND GUARANTEES

Commitment and Contingencies.

Litigation. In the
general course of its brokerage business and the business of clearing for other brokerage firms, SWS Group and/or its subsidiaries have been named as defendants in various lawsuits and arbitration proceedings. These claims allege violations of
various 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s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Venture Capital Funds.The
Bank has committed to invest $5,000,000 in two limited partnership equity funds. As of September 30, 2010, the Bank had invested $3,000,000 of its commitment.

Underwriting. Through its participation in underwriting securities, both corporate and municipal, SWS could expose itself to material risk, since the possibility exists that securities SWS
has committed to purchase cannot be sold at the initial offering price. Federal and state securities laws and regulations also affect the activities of underwriters and impose substantial potential liabilities for violations in connection with sales
of securities by underwriters to the public. There were no potential liabilities due under outstanding underwriting arrangements at September 24, 2010.

Guarantees.As of September 30, 2010, the Bank had issued stand-by letters of credit. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Bank could be required to make under the letters of
credit was $2,016,000. The recourse provision of the letters of credit allows the amount of the letters of credit to become part of the fully collateralized loans with total repayment as a first lien. The collateral on these letters of credit
consists of real estate, certificates of deposit, equipment, accounts receivable or furniture and fixtures.

In the ordinary course of
business, the Bank enters into loan agreements where the Bank commits to lend a specified amount of money to a borrower. At any point in time, there could be amounts that have not been advanced on the loan to the borrower, representing unfunded
commitments, as well as amounts that have been disbursed but repaid, which are available for re-borrowing under a revolving line of credit. As of September 30, 2010, the Bank had unfunded commitments of $124,939,000 relating to revolving lines
of credit. In addition, as of September 30, 2010, the Bank had unfunded new loans in the amount of $37,159,000.

The Company provides representations and warranties to counterparties in connection with a variety of
commercial transactions and occasionally indemnifies them against potential losses caused by the breach of those representations and warranties. These indemnification obligations generally are standard contractual indemnities and are entered into in
the normal course of business. The maximum potential amount of future payments that the Company could be required to make under these indemnities cannot be estimated. However, the Company believes that it is unlikely it will have to make material
payments under these arrangements and has not recorded any contingent liability in the consolidated financial statements for these indemnities.

Southwest Securities is a member of multiple exchanges and clearinghouses. Under the membership agreements, members are generally required to guarantee
the performance of other members. Additionally, if a member becomes unable to satisfy its obligations to the clearinghouse, other members would be required to meet shortfalls. To mitigate these performance risks, the exchanges and clearinghouses
often require members to post collateral. SWSs maximum potential liability under these arrangements cannot be quantified. However, the potential for SWS to be required to make payments under these arrangements is unlikely. Accordingly, no
contingent liability is recorded in the consolidated financial statements for these arrangements.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The FASB and the SEC have recently issued the following statements and interpretations, which are applicable to SWS. Any other new
accounting pronouncements not specifically identified in our disclosures are not applicable to SWS or are not expected to have a material effect on our financial statements:

Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-20, Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses.In July, 2010, the FASB issued
the ASU to enhance the disclosure requirements regarding receivables. The enhanced disclosures are designed to assist financial statement users in assessing an entitys credit risk exposure and in evaluating the adequacy of an entitys
allowance for credit losses. ASU 2010-20 is effective for the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2010, which is the Companys fiscal 2011 second quarter ending December 31, 2010. The Company is in
the process of evaluating the disclosure requirements and any impact the new disclosures will have on its financial statements and processes.

AFFILIATE TRANSACTIONS

At June 30,
2010, two directors owned approximately 64% of the ownership interests of a local bank and one of SWSs executive officers owned less than 1% of the ownership interests in this bank. The Bank sold loan participations with outstanding balances
of $3,095,000 and $3,400,000 at September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively, to this local bank. The affiliate and the Bank have participations in $1,404,000 of foreclosed property at both September 30, 2010 and June 30,
2010. The terms of the participation agreements resulted in payments of interest and fees to the other bank of $47,000 and $32,000 for the three-months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The interest rates on these participations
were substantially the same as those participations sold by the Bank to unrelated banks. On July 31, 2010, certain assets of the affiliated bank, including the loan participations and foreclosed property, were sold to another affiliated company
also owned by the two directors of the Company.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH THE OFFICE OF THRIFT SUPERVISION

Effective July 13, 2010, the Bank entered into an informal MOU with the OTS. The MOU provides among other things that the Bank will (i) maintain
a Tier I (core) capital ratio of 8% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 12%; (ii) adopt a classified asset reduction plan; (iii) retain a third-party consulting firm to review loan classifications; (iv) restrict certain lending
and (v) not declare or pay dividends without OTS approval. The MOU does not contain any monetary assessments or penalties. Management believes that it is instituting the appropriate plans to meet the requirements of the MOU; however, there is
no certainty that the Bank can successfully execute on all of these requirements within the time frames noted in the MOU. If the Bank is unable to comply with the MOU, the OTS could take additional actions, including issuing formal enforcement
actions.

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

OVERVIEW

SWS Group, Inc. (together with
its subsidiaries, we, us, SWS or the company) is engaged in full-service securities brokerage and full-service commercial banking. While brokerage and banking revenues are dependent upon trading
volumes and interest rates, which may fluctuate significantly, a large portion of our expenses remain 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 may have a substantial impact on our business and results
of operations. We also face substantial competition in each of our lines of business. See Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors in our Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) on August 31, 2010.

We operate through four segments grouped primarily by products, services and customer base:
clearing, retail, institutional and banking.

Clearing. We provide clearing and execution services for other
broker/dealers (predominantly on a fully disclosed basis). Our clientele includes general securities broker/dealers and firms specializing in high volume trading. We currently support a wide range of clearing clients, including discount and
full-service brokerage firms, direct access firms, registered investment advisors and institutional firms. In addition to clearing trades, we tailor our services to meet the specific business needs of our clearing clients
(correspondents) and offer such products and services as recordkeeping, trade reporting, accounting, general back-office support, securities and margin lending, reorganization assistance and custody of securities.

Revenues in this segment are generated primarily through transaction charges to our correspondent firms for clearing their trades. Revenue
is also earned from various fees and other processing charges as well as through net interest earnings on correspondent customer balances.

Retail. We offer retail securities products and services (equities, mutual funds and fixed income products), insurance products and managed accounts through the activities of our employee
registered representatives and our independent contractors. As a securities broker, we extend margin credit on a secured basis to our retail customers in order to facilitate securities transactions. This segment generates revenue primarily through
commissions charged on securities transactions, fees from managed accounts and the sale of insurance products as well as net interest income from retail customer balances.

Institutional.We serve institutional customers in the areas of securities borrowing and lending, public finance, municipal sales and underwriting, investment banking, fixed income sales and
equity trading. Our securities lending business includes borrowing and lending securities for other broker/dealers, lending institutions, and our own clearing and retail operations. Generally, we earn net interest income based on the spread between
the interest rate on cash or similar collateral we deposit and the interest rate paid on cash or similar collateral we receive. Our public finance and municipal sales and underwriting professionals assist public bodies in originating, syndicating
and distributing securities of municipalities and political subdivisions. Our corporate finance professionals arrange and evaluate mergers and acquisitions, conduct private placements and participate in public offerings of securities with
institutional and individual investors, assist clients with raising capital, and provide other consulting and advisory services.

##### Table of Contents

Our fixed income sales and trading group specializes in trading and underwriting U.S.
government and agency bonds, corporate bonds, mortgage-backed, asset-backed and commercial mortgage-backed securities and structured products. The clients of our fixed income group include corporations, insurance companies, banks, mutual funds,
money managers and other institutions. Our equity trading department focuses on providing best execution for equity and option orders for clients. We also execute institutional portfolio trades and are a market maker in a limited number of listed
securities.

Revenues are derived from the net interest spread on stock loan transactions, commission and trading income from
fixed income and equity products and investment banking fees from corporate and municipal securities transactions.

Banking.We offer traditional banking products and services. We specialize in two primary areas, business banking and
mortgage purchase. Our focus in business banking includes commercial lending, commercial real estate lending and small business lending. We originate the majority of our loans internally and we believe this business model helps us build more
valuable relationships with our customers. Our mortgage purchase division purchases participations in newly originated residential loans from various mortgage bankers nationwide. Southwest Securities, FSB (the Bank) earns substantially
all of its income on the spread between the rates charged to customers on loans and the rates paid to depositors.

The other
category includes SWS Group, Inc. (SWS Group), corporate administration and SWS Capital Corporation. SWS Group is a holding company that owns various investments, including common stock of U.S. Home Systems, Inc. (USHS).

Business Environment

Our
business is sensitive to financial market conditions, which have been very volatile over the past two years. As of September 24, 2010, equity market indices reflected an average increase from a year ago with the Dow Jones Industrial Average
(the DJIA) up 12%, the Standard & Poors 500 Index (S&P 500) up 10% and the NASDAQ Composite Index (NASDAQ) up 14%. The DJIA closed at 10,860.26 on September 24, 2010 up from 9,665.19 at
September 25, 2009 and 10,143.81 at June 25, 2010. On the other hand, the average daily volume on the NYSE declined during the first three months of our fiscal 2011, decreasing 42% over the same period of our last fiscal year and 25% from
the fourth quarter of our fiscal 2010. Despite the current positive direction in the equity markets, the volumes in the markets and economic uncertainty create a challenging operating environment. The national unemployment rate, which was
approximately 9.6% at the end of September 2010, was down from a high of 10% at the end of December 2009 but remains at historically high levels. The Federal Reserve Board (FRB) reduced the federal funds target rate to 0 - 0.25% on
December 16, 2008 and has not yet begun increasing rates. Most economists do not expect the federal funds rate will increase significantly during the remainder of our fiscal 2011.

The disruptions and developments in the general economy and the credit markets over the past two years have resulted in a range of actions by U.S. and foreign governments to attempt to bring liquidity and
order to the financial markets and to prevent a long recession in the world economy. For more details regarding some of the actions taken by U.S. and foreign governments, see the discussion under the caption Item 1. Business-Regulation
contained in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on August 31, 2010.

While many economists believe the recession ended in June 2009,
unemployment and tight credit markets continue to create an unstable economic environment, and there is no guarantee that conditions will not worsen again. Texas, which was largely insulated from severe job loss and real estate market deterioration,
is now experiencing distress in commercial real estate values and unemployment. All of these factors have had an impact on our banking and brokerage operations.

Impact of Economic Environment

Brokerage.On the brokerage side of the business, volatility in the credit and mortgage markets, low interest rates and reduced volume in the stock markets continue to have an impact on
several aspects of our business primarily related to valuation of securities, liquidity, and depressed net interest margins.

Valuation of Securities

At the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2011, we held $22.3 million of auction rate municipal bonds which represented one security and 19.4% of our municipal obligations portfolio at September 24,
2010. This security is an investment grade credit, was valued at 95.7% of par as of September 24, 2010 and was yielding less than 1% per year for the period. While management does not expect any reduction in the cash flow from this bond,
the disruption in the credit markets has led to auction failures. We currently have the ability to hold this investment until maturity. While we expect the issuer of this bond to refinance its debt when interest rates rise, there can be no certainty
that this refinancing will occur. We believe valuation of this bond at 95.7% of par at September 24, 2010 reflects an appropriate discount for the current lack of liquidity in this investment.

Our customers also own $2.7 million in auction rate bonds as well as approximately $21.5 million in auction rate preferred securities. We
did not actively market these securities to our customers or classify them as cash equivalents on our statements to our customers. We do not underwrite auction rate securities or serve as the remarketing agent for any of these securities.

We trade mortgage and asset-backed securities on a regular basis. We monitor our trading limits daily to ensure that these
securities are maintained at levels we consider to be prudent given current market conditions. These securities are priced using a third-party pricing service and we review the price monthly to ensure reasonable valuation. At September 24,
2010, we held mortgage and asset-backed securities of approximately $53.0 million included in securities owned, at market value on the consolidated statements of financial condition.

Liquidity

Dislocation in the credit markets has led to increased liquidity risk. All but $50.0 million of our borrowing arrangements are uncommitted
lines of credit and, as such, can be reduced or eliminated at any time by the banks extending the credit. While we have not experienced reductions in our borrowing capacity, our lenders have taken actions that indicate their concerns regarding
liquidity in the marketplace. These actions have included reduced advance rates for certain security types, more stringent requirements for collateral eligibility and higher interest rates. All of these actions have had a negative impact on our
liquidity. Should our lenders take additional similar actions, the cost of conducting our business will increase and our volume of business could be limited. To address this liquidity risk, on January 29, 2010, we entered into a $50.0 million
committed credit facility with a national bank, with unsecured borrowing capability of $15.0 million. As of September 24, 2010, we have borrowed $44.0 million under this facility.

The volatility in the U.S. stock markets is also impacting our liquidity through increased margin requirements at our clearing houses.
These margin requirements are determined through a combination of risk factors including volume of business and volatility in the U.S. stock markets. To the extent we are required to post cash or other collateral to meet these requirements, we will
have less borrowing capacity to finance our other businesses.

Net Interest Margins

Historically, the profitability of the brokerage business has been dependent upon net interest income. We earn net interest income on the
spread between the rates earned and paid on customer and correspondent balances as well as from our securities lending business. With

##### Table of Contents

interest rates at historically low levels, the spread we are able to earn is depressed, primarily from the extremely low yields on our assets segregated for regulatory purposes portfolio.
Additionally, the spread in our securities lending business has declined. Lastly, because the yield on money market funds have declined significantly, revenue sharing arrangements with our primary money market fund sweep providers have been
substantially reduced. We do not expect any significant changes in these dynamics until short-term interest rates begin to rise.

We have taken actions to mitigate the impact of the margin contraction by renegotiating arrangements with our clearing customers, changing
the mix of our assets segregated for regulatory purposes and developing new business in our securities lending portfolio. Despite these actions, profits from net interest remain depressed.

Bank.The challenging economic environment continues to negatively impact the loan portfolio at the Bank. The first quarter of fiscal 2011 brought significant deterioration of asset quality,
elevated loan loss provisioning, increasing charge-offs and more stringent regulatory oversight. The Bank entered into an informal Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) in July 2010.
Even though the Bank has successfully complied with requirements of the MOU to date, the Banks continued asset quality deterioration and negative earnings could result in a formal enforcement action from the OTS.

Classified assets increased from $191.8 million at June 30, 2010 to $251.5 million at September 30, 2010, an increase of 31.1%. Included in the
classified assets are non-performing assets which increased from $93.7 million, or 5.3% of assets at June 30, 2010, to $127.1 million, or 7.3% of assets at September 30, 2010. Classified assets as a percentage of total capital plus the
allowance for loan losses increased to 127% at September 30, 2010 from 101% at June 30, 2010. Net charge-offs totaled $29.3 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to $6.0 million for the three-months ended
June 30, 2010 and $2.6 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2009.

The impact of the asset quality deterioration is also
evident in the allowance for loan loss as loan loss provision expense increased to $39.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 as compared to $10.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 and $4.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal
2010. The allowance at September 30, 2010, was $45.4 million, or 3.38% of loans held for investment, as compared to $35.1 million, or 3.0% of loans held for investment at June 30, 2010.

Management has implemented strategies to reduce the level of classified assets. In the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Bank engaged a consultant to
assist with an international marketing campaign to sell classified assets including performing loans, non-performing loans and real estate. The loans included in this marketing campaign were reclassified to held for sale, contributing $17.8 million
to the provision for loan loss and reflecting these loans at the estimated net realizable value for an immediate sale. Cash sales of the assets included in this marketing campaign are expected to close during the second quarter of fiscal 2011.
Management may consider additional marketing campaigns of this nature in future quarters.

In addition to the sale strategy noted above, the
Bank has increased staffing in its special assets department with qualified professionals to aggressively address the reduction of classified assets. Managements goal is to reduce the level of classified assets to capital from the current
level of 127% to levels below 40%. The Bank is aggressively reviewing all available strategies to achieve this objective and expects that it will take several quarters to reach the 40% level.

Along with the reduction in classified assets, the Bank is also diligently working to reduce its exposure in commercial real estate, residential construction and land development loans. Concentration
guidelines have been established to assist in managing this process.

The Bank has also retained the services of a consulting firm to perform loan review procedures to assist
management in the early identification of potential problem loans. Management is developing internal staffing and resources to internalize this process.

Events and Transactions

Several material events and transactions impacted the
companys results of operations in the periods presented. A description of the transactions and the impact on our results are discussed below.

Increase in provision for loan losses.The provision for loan loss increased $34.8 million from the three-months ended September 30, 2009 to the three-months ended
September 30, 2010, resulting in an allowance for loan loss of $45.4 million at September 30, 2010. See discussion in OverviewBusiness EnvironmentImpact of Credit MarketsBank.

Write-off of $6.3 million for clearing.In the first quarter of fiscal 2010, we recorded a pre-tax loss of $6.3 million as
a result of a clearing correspondents unauthorized short sale of more than 2 million shares of a stock. The short sale and the subsequent trades to cover the short position resulted in a $6.3 million receivable from the correspondent. We
determined that collection of this receivable was doubtful and established an allowance for this receivable. The loss was recorded in other expenses on the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Consolidated

Net loss for the
three-month period ended September 24, 2010 was $20.7 million, a decrease of $23.8 million from net income of $3.1 million for the three-month period ended September 25, 2009. The three-month periods ended September 24, 2010 and
September 25, 2009 both contained 63 trading days.

Southwest Securities was a custodian for $27.8 billion and $26.4 billion in total
customer assets at September 24, 2010 and September 25, 2009, respectively.

Net revenues decreased for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 by $1.8 million as compared to the same period of fiscal
2010. The largest components of the decrease were in commissions and net gains on principal transactions. The $3.8 million decrease in commissions was due primarily to a $5.8 million decrease in commissions in the institutional segment, primarily in
the taxable fixed income business, as a result of tighter spreads and reduced market volatility. This decrease was offset by an increase in commissions of $1.7 million in the retail segment, primarily at SWS Financial Services, Inc. (SWS
Financial), due to an increase in production and the addition of six new advisors. The decrease in net gains on principal transactions was driven primarily by a decrease in taxable fixed income gains due to a reduction in market volatility
from the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. These revenue declines were partially offset by a $3.1 million increase in net interest revenue and a $1.5 million increase in investment banking and advisory fees. The increase in net interest revenue
was due primarily to an increase in the Banks average balance of loans in the mortgage warehouse business. The increase in investment banking and advisory fees was due to an increase the number of deals closed in our corporate finance business
unit as well as in increase in Unit Investment Trust (UIT) underwritings in the taxable fixed income business.

Operating expenses
increased $33.4 million for the three-months ended September 24, 2010 as compared to the same period of fiscal 2009. The largest increase was the provision for loan loss of $34.8 million and other expenses of $1.9 million. The increase for the
Banks loan loss provision is discussed in OverviewBusiness EnvironmentImpact of Credit MarketsBank. The increase in other expenses was due to: (i) an increase in the Banks REO provision of $5.9
million; (ii) a $969,000 increase in legal expenses; (iii) an $850,000 increase in outside services related to the review of the Banks loan files; (iv) a $138,000 increase in assessments from the OTS and Federal Deposit
Insurance Fund (DIF); and (v) a $788,000 increase in real estate related expenses. These increases were offset by decreases in professional services of $354,000 and a $6.3 million loss incurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 on
a correspondents short sale of securities.

Net Interest Income

We generate net interest income from our brokerage and banking segments. Net interest income from the brokerage segments is dependent upon the level of customer and stock loan balances as well as the
spread between the rates we earn on those assets compared with the cost of funds. Net interest is the primary source of income for the Bank and represents the amount by which interest and fees generated by earning assets exceed the cost of funds.
The Banks cost of funds consists primarily of interest paid to the Banks depositors on interest-bearing accounts and long-term borrowings with the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). Net interest income from our brokerage and
banking segment were as follows for the three-month periods ended September 24, 2010 and September 25, 2009 (in thousands):

Net interest revenue generated by each segment is reviewed in detail in the segment analysis below.

Income Tax Expense

For the
three-months ended September 24, 2010, income tax benefit (effective rate of 31.5%) differed from the amount that would have otherwise been calculated by applying the federal corporate tax rate (35.0%) to loss before income taxes due to
state income taxes and other permanently excluded items, such as tax exempt interest, meals and entertainment and increases in the value of company-owned life insurance.

Certain deferred tax assets are derived from capital losses, which depend on having sufficient capital gain income within the carry-back and carry-forward period available under the tax law. The
Companys deferred tax assets include $844,000 which reflects the benefit of capital losses associated with its investments in certain partnership assets. As of September 24, 2010, the Company did not believe it was more likely than not
that sufficient capital gain income would be generated to offset these capital losses. Accordingly, the Company established a valuation allowance in the amount of $844,000.

In the three-months ended September 24, 2010 as compared to the three-months ended September 25, 2009, the
clearing segment posted a decrease in clearing fee revenue of 7%, an increase in net revenue of 4% and an increase in pre-tax income of 109%.

For the three-months ended September 24, 2010 as compared to the three-months ended September 25, 2009, tickets processed for high-volume
trading firms decreased 5% while tickets processed for general securities broker/dealers decreased by 6%. In addition, revenue per ticket decreased approximately 2% from $4.39 for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 to $4.29 for the first quarter of
fiscal 2011. These decreases led to the 7% decrease in clearing fee revenue.

Net interest revenue in the clearing segment increased 7% for
the three-months ended September 24, 2010 over the same period last fiscal year. Net interest increased due to an increase in the spread we earn on customer deposits and an increase in customer balances.

Other revenue, primarily made up of fees from money market funds, increased 29% for the three-months ended September 24, 2010 as compared to the
same period last fiscal year. This increase was due to a 37% increase in the administrative fee income earned by the clearing segment from the money market providers. This fee income increased due to a slight increase in short-term interest rates
resulting in an increase in our revenue sharing with various money market funds.

Operating expenses decreased for the three-months ended
September 24, 2010 as compared to the same period last fiscal year primarily due to a decrease in other expenses of $5.9 million from the first quarter of fiscal 2010 as compared to the first quarter fiscal 2011. In the first quarter of fiscal
2010, a $6.3 million loss was incurred on a correspondents short sale of securities. This decrease was partially offset by a $172,000 increase in legal expenses and a $180,000 increase in operation and information technology expenses used by
the clearing segment in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

Net revenues in the retail segment increased 12% for the three-months ended September 24, 2010 as compared to the
same period last fiscal year due to an increase in commission revenue of $1.7 million and an increase in insurance product sales of $719,000. Commission revenue increased due primarily to an increase in production and the addition of six new
advisors at SWS Financial. The insurance product sales increases were due to an increase in volume in both our PCG and SWS Financial businesses. Total customer assets were $13.3 billion at September 24, 2010 and $12.7 billon at
September 25, 2009. Assets under management were $571 million at September 24, 2010 as compared to $533 million at September 25, 2009.

Operating expenses increased 6% for the three-months ended September 24, 2010 as compared to the same period last fiscal year. This increase was primarily due to an 11% increase in commission
expense, the primary component of operating expenses in the retail segment.

In the three-months ended
September 24, 2010, net interest revenue in the institutional segment increased 11% over the same period of last fiscal year. The increase was due primarily to an increase in interest earned on our taxable inventories of $776,000. This increase
was due to timing of the trades by our taxable fixed income department. This increase was offset by a decrease in our stock lending interest, largely due to a 10 basis point decrease in the spread. The institutional segments net interest is
primarily generated from the companys securities lending activities.

Operating expenses were down 12% for the three-months ended
September 24, 2010 as compared to the same period last fiscal year primarily due to decreases in commission expense. The decrease in commission expense was due to the decrease in revenue produced by the institutional segment.

In the three-months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the three-months ended September 30, 2009, the
Banks net revenues increased 10% but the Bank posted a pre-tax loss of $38.0 million down from $2.9 million of pre-tax income reported in the same period of the last fiscal year.

Net interest revenue generated by the Bank accounted for approximately 20.7% of our consolidated net revenue for the three-months ended September 30, 2010 and 18.1% for the three-months ended
September 30, 2009. The increase in net interest revenue at the Bank was due primarily to an 11% increase in the average balance of loans held for investment and sale from September 30, 2009 to September 30, 2010 despite a 23 basis
points decrease in the average yield. In addition, the total average balance of the Banks investments increased $29.9 million in the three-months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year due to the
Banks investment of excess liquidity in a portfolio of GNMA securities during the third quarter of fiscal 2010.Other revenue for the Bank decreased more than 21% for the three-months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same period
last fiscal year. This decrease was primarily due to a $905,000 increase in the net loss on the sale of REO property and a $178,000 decrease in the loss on small business administration (SBA) loans sold offset by a $1.1 million gain on
the sale of securities.

##### Table of Contents

The Banks operating expenses were up 252% for the three-months ended September 30, 2010 over the
same period last fiscal year. This increase was due primarily to a $34.8 million increase in the Banks loan loss provision and a $8.0 million increase in other expense consisting of the following: (i) a $5.9 million increase in the
Banks REO loss provision; (ii) an $850,000 increase in outside services related to the review of the Banks loan files; (iii) a $788,000 increase in real estate related expenses; (iv) a $130,000 increase in loan and
non-loan related legal expenses and (v) a $138,000 increase in assessments from the DIF and OTS. The increase in the Banks loan loss provision was due to continued deterioration in the real estate market and the Banks commercial
real estate loan portfolio as well as the continuing uncertainty in the U.S. economy. The allowance computation is discussed in detail in Loans and Allowance for Probable Loan Loss below. The earnings at the Bank are expected to be
volatile as we continue to have in-flows to our classified assets.

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 September 30, 2010 and 2009 (dollars in thousands):

Other:

Pre-tax loss from the other category was $8.2 million for the three-months ended September 24, 2010 as compared to $9.1 million for the same period last fiscal year. The change was primarily due to a
$1.8 million decrease in commissions expense and other employee compensation. This decrease was due to a decrease in the expense related to our deferred compensation plan and the amount of incentive compensation expense. The decrease in expenses was
offset by a decrease in other revenue of $401,000 and an increase in other expense of $531,000. The decrease in other revenue was primarily due to a $356,000 decrease in income from our deferred compensation plan. The increase in other expense was
due to an increase in legal expenses of $350,000 and an increase in operating expenses of $352,000, offset by a decrease in professional services of $201,000.

Loans and Allowance for Probable Loan Losses

The Bank grants loans to customers primarily within Texas and New Mexico. In the ordinary course of business, the Bank also purchases loans which have been originated in various 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 in Texas and New Mexico. Substantially all of the Banks
loans are collateralized with real estate.

The allowance for probable loan losses is increased by charges to income and decreased by
charge-offs (net of recoveries). Managements periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Banks past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the
borrowers ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral and current economic conditions. In determining the appropriate allowance at the balance sheet date, management evaluates the Banks historical loss percentage,
concentrations of risk in the portfolio, estimated changes in the value of underlying collateral as well as changes in the volume and growth in the portfolio.

Prior to the third quarter of fiscal 2010, the Banks provision for loan loss computation used a three year rolling average of historical loan losses by product type to assess losses in the
Banks loan portfolio. Product types include 1-4 family residential loans, 1-4 family residential construction loans, land and land development loans, commercial real estate loans, commercial loans and consumer loans. Due to accelerated
deterioration in the Banks loan portfolio, depressed appraised values for collateral, continued high unemployment rates in Texas and deteriorating banking industry loss statistics, the Banks management reevaluated its use of historical
loan losses in its provision for loan loss computation. As a result of this reevaluation, in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, management reduced the historical loan loss look back period from three years to four quarters.

As a result of continued asset quality deterioration in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, management determined that it would be appropriate to increase
the allowance for the classified assets in the allowance calculation. This was achieved by segregating the classified assets into a separate category and applying a distressed historical loss weighting in addition to the normal loss ratio for each
loan type. This resulted in a $13.6 million allowance attributable to criticized and classified loans.

The historical loss ratios are
adjusted by an analysis of our real estate market deterioration, derived from industry data related to the markets we serve, as well as information from our bank-specific losses related to real estate transactions. We also revise the historic loss
ratios upward for concentrations of capital greater than 100% for the product types defined above. At September 30, 2010, our most significant concentration was in commercial real estate. Lastly, we adjust the loss ratios based on growth in the
product types. Consideration of these factors resulted in an upward adjustment of our historical loss ratios over the past year. Our calculation also includes specific allocations arising from our loan impairment analysis.

Certain types of loans, such as option ARM products, junior lien mortgages, high loan-to-value ratio
mortgages, single family interest only loans, sub-prime loans, and loans with initial teaser rates, can have a greater risk of non-collection than other loans. At September 30, 2010, the Bank had $8.8 million in junior lien
mortgages. These loans represented less than 1% of total loans at September 30, 2010. At September 30, 2010, the Bank did not have any exposure to sub-prime loans and loans with initial teaser rates. At September 30, 2010, the Bank
had $13.7 million of single family interest only loans.

At September 30, 2010, the Banks loan portfolio included a total of $36
million in loans with a high loan-to-value ratio. High loan-to-value ratios are defined by OTS regulation and range from 75%-90% depending on the type of loan. At September 30, 2010, approximately 26% of these loans were 1-4 single family or
lot loans to home builders in North Texas. We addressed the additional risk in these loans in our allowance calculation primarily through our review of the real estate market deterioration adjustment to the historical loss ratio. Additionally, at
September 30, 2010, the Bank had seven loans with high loan-to-value ratios that were deemed impaired. The impairment analysis on these loans resulted in a partial charge-off of $28,000 on three loans and no impairment allocation or loss on the
remaining four loans. Regulatory guidelines suggest that high loan-to-value ratio loans should not exceed 100% of total capital. At September 30, 2010, the Banks high loan-to-value ratio loans represented 21% of total capital.

We obtain appraisals on real estate loans at the time of origination from third party appraisers approved by the Banks board of directors. We may
also obtain additional appraisals when the borrowers performance indicates it may default. After a loan default and foreclosure, we obtain new appraisals to determine the fair value of the foreclosed asset. We obtain updated appraisals on
foreclosed properties on an annual basis until we sell the property.

Management reviews the loan loss computation methodology on a quarterly
basis to determine if the factors used in the calculation are appropriate. Because our problem loans and losses are concentrated in real estate-related loans, we pay particular attention to real estate market deterioration and the concentration of
capital in our real estate-related loans. Improvement or additional deterioration in the residential and commercial real estate market may have an impact on these factors in future quarters. To the extent we underestimate the impact of these risks,
our allowance account could be materially understated.

We maintain an internally classified loan list that helps us assess the overall quality of the loan portfolio and the
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Loans on this list are classified as substandard, doubtful or loss based on the probability of repayment, collateral valuation and related collectability. This list is used to identify loans that are
considered non-performing.

We classify loans 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 collectability. The Bank uses a standardized review process to determine which non-performing loans should be placed on non-accrual status. At the time a loan is placed on non-accrual status, we reverse
previously accrued and uncollected interest against interest income. We recognize interest income on non-accrual loans to the extent we receive cash payments for the loans with respect to which ultimate full collections is likely. For loans where
ultimate collection is not likely, we apply interest payments to the outstanding principal and we recognize income only if full payment is made. Potential problem loans are substandard loans that are performing but where information known by
management indicates that the borrower may be unable to comply with the present terms.

Bank management has hired and is allocating additional resources to manage the growth in REO and non-performing assets.
Management is preparing an asset-by-asset plan for these asset categories to reduce these loans and properties expeditiously. Specifically, the Bank is currently conducting an auction of classified assets of $68.9 million. This strategy included the
engagement of a consultant to assist in the disposition of certain classified assets through a national and international marketing campaign. Early indications are favorable for successful implementation of this strategy. Managements focus on
the continued reduction of these asset classes may have a material impact on future results of operations.

Total classified assets
(non-performing assets plus potential problem loans) to Bank capital plus allowance for loan loss was 127% at September 30, 2010. Bank management is focused on expeditiously reducing this ratio through the disposal of these assets. Depending on
the disposal methodology, the Bank may be required to record additional write-downs to the fair values of these assets. Management estimates that losses on the ultimate disposal of these assets could range from 0% to 50% of the recorded value.
Additionally, as the sluggish economic environment continues,

additional assets are expected to migrate to classified status. While management is diligently working to dispose of these assets quickly, lack of demand for certain property types, length of
sales cycle and manpower limitations will impact the time required to ultimately reduce the classified assets to a more acceptable level.

The increase in the allowance from September 30, 2009 to September 30, 2010 reflects the reclassification of
$49.2 million in loans to held for sale from held for investments. Additionally, other factors contributing to the increase were the continued deterioration in the real estate market in North Texas as well as the continued uncertainty in the U.S.
economy. We believed it was appropriate to use the top range of our loan loss calculation to adequately reflect current market conditions.

With the continued challenging economic environment and high unemployment, the Bank frequently reviews and updates its processes and procedures
surrounding extension of credit, allowance for loan loss computation and internal asset review and classification. Changes include more stringent underwriting guidelines for loan-to-value ratios, guarantors financial condition, owner-occupied
versus investor loans and speculative versus custom construction. The Bank currently requires more extensive documentation and data than it did in prior years in order to classify existing loans as performing loans. The Bank is also updating
appraisals more frequently, even on performing loans, and such appraisals serve as an early indicator of loan deterioration. These actions led to increases in non-performing assets and the loan loss allowance in fiscal 2010 and have continued to
lead to increases in non-performing assets and the loan loss allowance during the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

As a result of the current
economic environment, the Bank has significantly limited the growth of its loan portfolio in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 in order to allocate the time, resources and capital necessary to support the existing loan portfolio.

At September 30, 2010, approximately 54% of the Banks loan loss allowance was allocated to its commercial real
estate loan portfolio while the Banks commercial real estate loan portfolio represented approximately 35% of its total loan portfolio. Because commercial loans tend to be individually larger than residential loans, deterioration in this
portfolio leads to more volatility in our earnings.

The Banks written loan policies address specific underwriting standards for
commercial real estate loans. These policies include loan to value requirements, cash flow requirements, acceptable amortization periods and appraisal guidelines. In addition, specific covenants, unique to each relationship, may be used where deemed
appropriate to further protect the lending relationship. Collateral in the commercial real estate portfolio varies from owner-occupied properties to investor properties. We periodically review the portfolio for concentrations by industry as well as
geography. All commercial relationships are stress tested at the time of origination and major relationships are then stress tested on an annual basis.

Deposits

Average deposits and the average interest rate paid on the deposits for the
three-months ended September 30, 2010 can be found in the discussion of the banking segments net interest income under the caption Results of Operations-Segment-Banking.

The Bank had $30.4 million and $34.2 million of certificates of deposit of $100,000 or greater at September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010,
respectively. The Bank is funded primarily by deposits from SWSs brokerage customers. These core deposits provide the Bank with a stable and low cost funding source. The Bank also utilizes short-and long-term FHLB borrowings to match long-term
fixed rate loan funding. At September 30, 2010, the Bank had $1,292.3 million in funds on deposit from customers of Southwest Securities, representing approximately 81% of the Banks total deposits and $111.1 million of FHLB borrowings.
Core deposits have reduced the Banks reliance on short-term borrowings from the FHLB and brokered certificates of deposit.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Secondary Offering

On October 16, 2009, we filed a shelf registration statement with
the SEC providing for the sale of $150.0 million of our securities. On December 9, 2009, the company closed a public offering of 4,347,827 shares of its common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. On December 16, 2009, the underwriters
for the public offering exercised their option to purchase 652,174 additional shares of our common stock to cover over-allotments. We generated net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, of approximately $54.3 million from
these offerings. We invested $47.5 million of the net proceeds as a $27.5 million capital contribution to the Bank and a $20.0 million capital contribution to Southwest Securities. The remaining funds have been used by us for general corporate
purposes.

Brokerage

A
substantial portion of our assets are highly liquid in nature and consist mainly of cash or assets readily convertible into cash. Our equity capital, short-term bank borrowings, interest bearing and non-interest bearing client credit balances,
correspondent deposits and other payables finance these assets. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts that represent amounts that are necessary, in the judgment of management, to adequately absorb losses from known and inherent risks in
receivables from clients, clients of correspondents and correspondents. The highly liquid nature of our assets provides us with flexibility in financing and managing our anticipated operating needs. Management believes that the brokerage
business present liquidity position is adequate to meet its needs over the next twelve months.

Short-Term Borrowings.We have credit arrangements with commercial banks, which include broker loan lines up to $300 million. 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 balances under these credit arrangements are due on demand and bear interest at rates indexed to the federal funds rate. At September 24, 2010, the amount outstanding under these secured
arrangements was $95.5 million, which was collateralized by securities held for firm accounts valued at $110.9 million and securities held for correspondent accounts valued at $35.1 million. Our ability to borrow additional funds is limited by our
eligible collateral. See additional discussion under Risk Factors in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on August 31, 2010.

##### Table of Contents

At September 24, 2010, we had $250,000 outstanding under unsecured letters of credit pledged to support
our open positions with securities clearing organizations. These letters have a 1% commitment fee and are renewable semi-annually at our option.

At September 24, 2010, we had $500,000 under an outstanding unsecured letter of credit pledged to support our underwriting activities. This letter bears a 1% commitment fee and is renewable annually
at our option.

We also have a $20.0 million unsecured line of credit that is due on demand and bears interest at rates indexed to the federal
funds rate. This credit arrangement is provided on an as offered basis and is not a committed line of credit. The total amount of borrowings available under this line of credit is reduced by the amount outstanding under any unsecured
letters of credit at the time of borrowing. At September 24, 2010, there was $10.0 million outstanding on this line in addition to the $750,000 under unsecured letters of credit referenced above. At September 24, 2010, we had $9.3 million
available for borrowing under this line of credit.

At September 24, 2010, we had an irrevocable letter of credit agreement aggregating
$49.0 million pledged to support our open options positions with an options clearing organization. The letter of credit bears interest at the brokers call rate (0.5% at September 24, 2010), if drawn, and is renewable semi-annually. This
letter of credit is fully collateralized by marketable securities held in client and non-client margin accounts with a value of $65.1 million at September 24, 2010.

On January 29, 2010, Southwest Securities entered into an agreement with an unaffiliated bank for a $50.0 million committed revolving credit facility. The facility includes up to $15.0 million in
unsecured credit. The commitment fee is 37.5 basis points per annum and, when drawn, the interest rate is equal to the federal funds rate plus 75 basis points. The agreement requires Southwest Securities to maintain tangible net worth of $150.0
million. As of September 24, 2010, there was $44.0 million outstanding under the committed revolving credit facility, of which $15.0 million of the total amount outstanding was unsecured. The $29.0 million of secured borrowings was
collateralized by securities with a value of $52.8 million at September 24, 2010.

Net Capital Requirements.Our
broker/dealer subsidiaries are subject to the requirements of the SEC relating to liquidity, capital standards and the use of client funds and securities. The amount of broker/dealer subsidiaries net assets that may be distributed to the
parent of the broker/dealer is subject to restrictions under applicable net capital rules. Historically, we have operated in excess of the minimum net capital requirements. See Regulatory Capital Requirements in the Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this report.

Banking

Liquidity is monitored daily to ensure the Banks ability to support asset growth, meet deposit withdrawals, maintain reserve requirements and otherwise sustain operations. The Banks liquidity
is maintained in the form of readily marketable loans and investment securities, balances with the FHLB, federal funds sold to correspondent banks and vault cash. At September 30, 2010, the Bank had net borrowing capacity with the FHLB of
$512.0 million. In addition, at September 30, 2010, the Bank had a $30.0 million federal funds agreement and the ability to borrow up to $109.6 million in funds from the Dallas Federal Reserve Bank, each of which is described below.

The Bank has an agreement with an unaffiliated bank for a $30.0 million unsecured line of credit for the purchase of federal funds with a floating
interest rate. The unaffiliated bank is not obligated by this agreement to sell federal funds to the Bank. The agreement is used by the Bank to support short-term liquidity needs. At September 30, 2010, there were no amounts outstanding under
this line of credit.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2010, the Bank entered into a secured line of credit agreement with the Dallas Federal
Reserve Bank. This line of credit is secured by the Banks commercial loan portfolio.

This line is due on demand and bears interest at a rate 25 basis points over the federal funds target rate. This line is used to support short-term liquidity needs, and at September 30,
2010, the Bank had $109.6 million available for borrowing and no amount outstanding.

During the three-months ended September 30, 2010,
the Bank sold $5.2 million of participations in certain loans subject to SBA guarantees with a total unpaid principal balance of $6.3 million. The guaranteed portion of these loans are subject to a 90-day recourse period related to the
borrowers timely payments, and sale accounting for the participations has been deferred until this recourse period has expired. As such, included in the Banks loan and short-term borrowing balances at September 30, 2010 are $5.2
million of loans sold prior to September 30, 2010. The amounts sold represent the guaranteed portion of the SBA loans. The non-guaranteed portion of the loans was retained by the Bank. Additionally, loan origination fees of $491,000 received by
the Bank related to the guaranteed portion of these loans will be deferred until the 90-day recourse period has expired, at which time this amount will be recognized as income.

Management believes that the Banks current assets and available liquidity are adequate to meet its current and future liquidity needs over the next twelve months.

The Banks asset and liability management policy is intended to manage interest rate risk. The Bank accomplishes this through management of the
periodic 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. (See the
Banks GAP analysis in Risk Management-Market Risk-Interest Rate Risk/Banking.) At September 30, 2010, $1.3 billion of the Banks deposits were from brokerage customers of Southwest Securities. Current
events in the securities markets could impact the amount of these funds available to the Bank.

Capital Requirements.The
Bank 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 of total and Tier I capital (as
defined in 12 CFR 565 and 12 CFR 567) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier I (core) capital (as defined) to adjusted assets (as defined). Effective July 31, 2010, the Bank entered into a MOU with the OTS. The MOU provides that that
Bank will maintain a Tier I (core) capital ratio of 8% and a total risk based capital ratio of 12%. The OTS may require the Bank to apply another measure of risk-weight or capital ratio that the OTS deems appropriate.

The Bank has historically met all the capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject and as of September 30, 2010, the Bank was 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 (core) capital ratios. Should
the Bank not meet these minimums or should the OTS determine that the levels in excess of the minimum are necessary, certain mandatory and discretionary supervisory actions (as defined in 12 CFR 565.6) could be applicable.

SWS Group injected $23.0 million of capital in the Bank during the first quarter of fiscal 2011. This injection allowed the Bank to meet its capital
requirements and improved the Banks capital position.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We generally do not enter into off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined by the SEC. However, our broker/dealer subsidiaries enter into transactions in
the normal course of business that expose us to off-balance sheet risk. See Note 24 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 25, 2010.

Cash Flow

Net cash provided by operating activities was $415.8 million and $10.8 million for the three-months ended September 24, 2010 and September 25, 2009, respectively. The increase from fiscal 2010
to fiscal 2011 in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to the decrease in the Banks investment in purchased mortgage loans held for sale.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three-months ended September 24, 2010 was $228.4 million and $28.4 million for the three-months ended September 25, 2009. The primary reason for the
increase in cash used in investing activities was a $206.6 million increase in the net amount invested in loans at the Bank, as well as the receipt of $7.1 million from the sale of investments and $2.1 million from cash received on investments at
the Bank.

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $12.5 million for the three-month period ended September 24, 2010 as
compared to $64.1 million in the same period of fiscal 2010. The primary reason for the decrease in the cash provided by financing activities was a decrease in deposits at the Bank.

We expect that cash flows provided by operating activities, as well as short-term borrowings will be the primary source of working capital for the next twelve months.

Treasury Stock

Periodically, we
repurchase our shares of common stock under a plan approved by our Board of Directors. In August 2009, the Board of Directors of SWS Group approved a plan authorizing the company to purchase up to 500,000 shares of its common stock from time to time
in the open market for an 18-month time period ending on February 28, 2011. During the first three-months of fiscal 2011, no shares were purchased under this program.

On November 27, 2009, the stockholders of the SWS Group voted to increase the authorized number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the deferred compensation plan from 375,000
shares to 675,000 shares. The trustee under our deferred compensation plan periodically purchases shares of our common stock in the open market in accordance with the terms of the plan. This stock is classified as treasury stock in our consolidated
financial statements, but participates in future dividends declared by us. During the three-months ended September 24, 2010, the plan did not purchase shares of our common stock and 927 shares were distributed pursuant to the plan.

As restricted stock grants vest, grantees may sell a portion of their vested shares to us to cover the tax liabilities arising from vesting. As a result,
in the three-months ended September 24, 2010, we purchased 18,095 shares of common stock with a market value of $130,655, or an average of $7.22 per share, to cover tax liabilities.

RISK MANAGEMENT

We manage risk exposure through the involvement of various levels of
management. We establish, maintain and regularly monitor maximum positions by industry and issuer in both trading and inventory accounts. 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, and 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. We monitor our exposure to counterparty risk through the use of credit information, the monitoring of collateral values and the establishment of credit limits. We have established various risk management committees that are responsible
for reviewing and managing risk related to interest rates, trading positions, margin and other credit risk and risks from capital market transactions.

Credit Risk

Brokerage. Credit risk arises from the potential nonperformance by counterparties, customers or debt security issuers. We are exposed to credit risk as a trading counterparty and as a
stock loan counterparty to dealers and customers, as a holder of securities and as a member of clearing organizations. We have established credit risk committees to review our credit exposure in our various business units. These committees are
composed of senior management of the company. Credit exposure is also associated with customer margin accounts, which are monitored daily. We monitor exposure to individual securities and perform sensitivity analysis on a regular basis in connection
with our margin lending activities. We adjust our margin requirements if we believe our risk exposure is not appropriate based on market conditions.

Banking. Credit risk is the possibility that a borrower or counterparty will fail to meet its obligations in accordance with agreed terms and is inherent in all types of lending. The
Bank has developed and is enhancing its policies and procedures to provide a process for managing credit risk. These policies and procedures include underwriting guidelines, credit and collateral tracking, and detailed loan approval procedures which
include officer and director loan committees. The Bank also maintains a detailed loan review process to monitor the quality of the loan portfolio. The Bank grants loans to customers primarily within Texas and New Mexico. The Bank also purchases
loans which have been originated in 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
in Texas and New Mexico. Policies and procedures, which are in place to manage credit risk, are designed to be responsive to changes in these economic conditions.

Operational Risk

Operational risk refers generally to risk of loss resulting from our
operations, including but not limited to, improper or unauthorized execution and processing of transactions, deficiencies in our operating systems, and inadequacies or breaches in our control processes. We operate in diverse markets and are reliant
on the ability of our employees and systems to process large numbers of transactions. In order to mitigate and control operational risk, we have developed and continue to enhance specific policies and procedures that are designed to identify and
manage operational risk at appropriate levels. We also use periodic self-assessments and internal audit examinations as further review of the effectiveness of our controls and procedures in mitigating our operational risk.

Legal Risk

Legal risk includes the risk
of non-compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. We are subject to extensive regulation in the different jurisdictions in which we conduct business. We have established procedures based on legal and regulatory requirements that
are designed to reasonably ensure compliance with all applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. We also have established procedures that are designed to ensure that executive managements policies relating to conduct, ethics and
business practices are followed. In connection with our business, we have various procedures addressing significant issues such as regulatory capital requirements, sales and trading practices, new products, use and safekeeping of customer funds and
securities, granting credit, collection activities, money laundering, privacy and record keeping.

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, market prices, investor expectations and changes in credit ratings of the issuer. Our exposure to market risk is directly related to our role as a financial intermediary in customer-related transactions and to our proprietary
trading and securities lending activities.

Interest Rate Risk.

Brokerage. Interest rate risk is a consequence of maintaining inventory positions, trading in interest rate sensitive financial instruments and maintaining a matched stock loan book. Our
fixed income activities also expose us 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.

Banking. Our primary emphasis in interest rate risk management for the Bank is the matching of assets and
liabilities of similar cash flow and re-pricing time frames. This matching of assets and liabilities reduces exposure to rate movements and aids in stabilizing positive interest spreads. We strive to structure our balance sheet as a natural hedge by
matching floating rate assets with variable short term funding and by matching fixed rate liabilities with similar longer term fixed rate assets. The Bank has established percentage change limits in both interest margin and net portfolio
value. To verify that the Bank is within the limits established for interest margin, the Bank prepares an analysis of net interest margin based on various shifts in interest rates. To verify that the Bank is within the limits established
for net portfolio value, the Bank analyzes data prepared by the OTS for interest rate sensitivity of the Banks net portfolio. These analyses are conducted on a quarterly basis for the Banks Board of Directors.

The following table illustrates the estimated change in net interest margin based on shifts in interest rates of positive 300 basis points and negative
100 basis points:

Market Price Risk. We are exposed to market price risk as a result of making markets and taking proprietary
positions in securities. Market price risk results from changes in the level or volatility of prices, which affect the value of securities or instruments that derive their value from a particular stock or bond, a basket of stocks or bonds or an
index.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. 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 25, 2010. See our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year then ended.

FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS

From time to time, we make statements (including some contained in this report) that predict or forecast future events, depend
on future events for their accuracy, or otherwise contain forward-looking information and constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable U.S. securities legislation. Such statements are generally
identifiable by the terminology used such as plans, expects, estimates, budgets, intends, anticipates, believes, projects, indicates,
targets, objective, could, should, may or other similar words. By their very nature, forward-looking statements require us to make assumptions that may not materialize or that

may not be accurate. Readers should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement and should recognize that the statements are predictions of future results, which may not occur as
anticipated. Actual results may differ materially as a result of various factors, some of which are outside of our control, including:



| |  |  | the interest rate environment;
| | - |  | ------------------------------



| |  |  | the volume of trading in securities;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------



| |  |  | the liquidity in capital markets;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------



| |  |  | the volatility and general level of securities prices and interest rates;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the ability to meet regulatory capital requirements administered by federal agencies, including without limitation, those established by the MOU with
the OTS;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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



| |  |  | the demand for housing in Texas and New Mexico and the national market;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the credit-worthiness of our correspondents, counterparties in securities lending transactions and of our banking and margin customers;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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



| |  |  | general economic conditions, especially in Texas and New Mexico and investor sentiment and confidence;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the ability of the Banks borrowers to meet their contractual obligations;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the value of collateral securing the Banks loans;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | competitive conditions in each of our business segments;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in accounting, tax and regulatory compliance requirements;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the ability to attract and retain key personnel; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the availability of credit lines.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------

Our future operating results also depend on 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;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 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, regulation or other contingencies.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Factors which may cause actual results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements include those factors
discussed in this report in Overview, Risk Management and Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates and those discussed in Risk Factors in our annual report on
Form 10-K filed with the SEC, this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and our other reports filed with and available from the SEC. All forward-looking statements we make speak only as of the date on which they are made, and except as required by
law, we undertake no obligation to update them to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date on which they were made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

|Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
|------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

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



|Item 4. | Controls and Procedures
|------- | -----------------------

The management of SWS, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)
pursuant to the Exchange Act) as of September 24, 2010. Based on such evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of September 24, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were not
effective due to a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.

Specifically, for reasons set forth below, our
management has concluded that our accounting and financial reporting systems and procedures were not sufficiently designed to evaluate and ensure accurate application of new accounting pronouncements in order to prepare financial statements in
accordance with GAAP. Our processes were inadequate for adopting new accounting pronouncements that amended the guidance on (i) transfers of financial assets and (ii) consolidation of variable interest entities. As of and for the period ended
September 24, 2010, in particular, our management determined that inadequate review and assessment of accounting for transfers of financial assets caused us to restate our quarterly financial statements. Also, our processes were not sufficiently
designed to ensure consistent and complete application of the accounting guidance relating to the consolidation of, and the identification of all potential interest in variable interest entities.

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) pursuant to the Exchange Act) during the
three-months ended September 24, 2010 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION



|Item 1. | Legal Proceedings
|------- | -----------------

In the
general course of our brokerage business and the business of clearing for other brokerage firms, we have been named as defendants in various pending lawsuits and arbitration proceedings. These claims allege violations of various federal and state
securities laws, including, specifically, certain Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board violations, an examination of political contributions and the use of consultants in connection with the firms municipal securities business. The Bank is
also involved in certain claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. We believe that resolution of these claims will not result in any material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial condition, results of
operations or cash flows.



|Item 1A. | Risk Factors
|-------- | ------------

There have
been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 25, 2010.
