                       MARCH 31, 2002 AND MARCH 31, 2001

1.  DESCRIPTION OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Throughout this document NYMEX Holdings, Inc., will be referred to as NYMEX
Holdings and, together with its subsidiaries, as the "Company." The two
principal subsidiaries of NYMEX Holdings are New York Mercantile Exchange, Inc.,
("NYMEX Exchange" or "NYMEX Division"), and Commodity Exchange Inc. ("COMEX" or
"COMEX Division"), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of NYMEX Exchange. Where
appropriate, each division will be discussed separately and collectively will be
discussed as the "Exchange."

     Basis of Presentation -- The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements of NYMEX Holdings and subsidiaries have been prepared in
accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28 and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC"). These are unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and do
not include all necessary disclosures required for complete financial
statements.

     In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting
only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company's
financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the dates and
interim periods covered. Interim period operating results may not be indicative
of the operating results for a full year. This information should be read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 and for each year in the three-year period
ended December 31, 2001.

     The preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements and related notes in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period, and the disclosure of
contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year amounts to
conform to the current presentation. All intercompany balances and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.

     For a summary of significant accounting policies (which have not
significantly changed from December 31, 2001 -- see note 2 to the unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements) and additional information, see
note 1 to the audited December 31, 2001 financial statements which were filed
with the SEC in the Company's Form 10-K on March 5, 2002.

2.  RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

       In June 2001, FASB issued SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets, which supercedes APB Opinion No. 17, Intangible Assets. This statement,
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, addresses, among
other things, how goodwill and other intangible assets should be accounted for
after they have been initially recognized in the financial statements. The
provisions of SFAS No. 142 provide for an impairment test to be performed at
least annually rather than recording monthly amortization. The Company performed
such a test during the first quarter of 2002. There were no impairments
recognized during the periods presented. The Company believes that the adoption
of SFAS No. 142 has a material effect on operations. The adoption of this
standard has increased pre-tax income and net income for the first quarter of
2002 by $538,000, or $659 per share, which is the amount of quarterly
amortization of goodwill.

     In October 2001, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF No. 01-10,
Accounting for the Impact of the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001. This
statement, among other things, addresses how costs and insurance recoveries for
business affected by this event should be accounted for in the financial
statements.

                                        6
<PAGE>

The provisions of EITF No. 01-10 provide guidelines for the recording of a
contingent insurance recovery. The Company adopted the provisions of EITF No.
01-10 during the third quarter of 2001.

     In 2002, SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets was adopted. This statement establishes a single model for the impairment
of long-lived assets and broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to
include disposal of an individual business. As a result of adoption, no
impairment charges resulted from the required impairment evaluations.

3.  COLLATERALIZATION

     At March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the Company had accepted
collateral in the form of United States Treasury bills that it is permitted by
contract or industry practice to sell or repledge, although it is not the
Company's policy to do so. This collateral was received in connection with
reverse repurchase agreements with, and are held in custody by, its banks. The
fair value of such collateral at March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001 was
approximately $10,500,000 and $6,500,009, respectively.

4.  REVENUE REBATE AND FEE REDUCTION PROGRAM

     The Company has a fee rebate program which substantially reduces clearing
fees for the NYMEX Division members. Rebates under this program totaled $1.0
million and $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and March 31,
2001, respectively. Clearing and transaction fees are presented in the unaudited
condensed consolidated statements of operations and retained
earnings/accumulated deficit, net of these rebates.

     The Company also adopted several incentive programs for members for the
purpose of reducing various operating costs. These incentive programs totaled
$471,000 and $498,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and March 31,
2001, respectively. Other revenues are presented in the unaudited condensed
consolidated statements of operations and retained earnings/accumulated deficit,
net of fee reductions related to these programs.

5.  SEGREGATED FUNDS

     The Company is required under the Commodity Exchange Act to segregate cash
and securities that are deposited by clearing members at banks approved by the
Company as margin for house and customer accounts. These assets belong to the
clearing member firms and are not included in the accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements. At March 31, 2002 and 2001,
$18,700,793 and $922,081 of cash, $1,839,162,000 and $3,286,609,900 of U.S.
Treasury obligations and $40,800,000 and $22,300,000 of U.S. Treasury
obligations purchased under agreements to resell, respectively, were segregated
pursuant to such regulations by the NYMEX Division. In addition, at March 31,
2002 and 2001, the NYMEX Division held irrevocable letters of credit amounting
to $166,956,000 and $166,252,000, respectively, which are used by clearing
members to meet their obligations to the Company for margin requirements on both
open futures and options positions, as well as delivery obligations, in lieu of
depositing cash and/or securities. The Company invests cash deposits and earns
interest thereon. All income earned on deposits of U.S. government securities
accrue to the clearing member firms depositing such securities.

     In addition, $1,826,920,000 representing shares of certain money market
mutual funds were held by the NYMEX Division on behalf of clearing members. No
such deposits were held as of the prior year because such assets were not
acceptable forms of margin in the first quarter of 2001.

     At March 31, 2002 and 2001, the segregated funds of the Company's COMEX
Division consisted of $2,242,527 and $126,978 in cash, $669,535,000 and
$525,239,000 in U.S. Treasury obligations and $1,395,000 and $1,640,000 of U.S.
Treasury obligations purchased under agreements to resell, respectively. The
COMEX Division also held irrevocable letters of credit aggregating $44,150,000
and $22,500,000 as of March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

                                        7

6.  GUARANTY FUNDS

     Each clearing member firm is required to maintain a security deposit, in
the form of cash or U.S. Treasury securities, ranging from $100,000 to
$2,000,000, depending upon such clearing member firm's reported regulatory
capital, in a fund known as a "Guaranty Fund" for the respective clearing
division (NYMEX Division and/or COMEX Division). Separate and distinct Guaranty
Funds, held by the Company, are maintained for the NYMEX and COMEX Divisions.
These funds may be used by the respective divisions for any loss sustained by
the Company as a result of the failure of a clearing member firm to discharge
its obligations.

     At March 31, 2002 and 2001, the total deposits maintained in the NYMEX
Division Guaranty Fund were $83,906,000 and $79,681,000, respectively. At March
31, 2002 and 2001, the total deposits for the COMEX Division Guaranty Fund were
$75,385,000 and $77,393,000, respectively.

7.  SEGMENT REPORTING

     During the second quarter of 2001, the Company changed its structure of
internal reporting which caused the composition of reportable segments to
change.

     The Company considers operating results for two business segments:
open-outcry trading and electronic trading.

     Open-outcry is the trading of NYMEX Division and COMEX Division futures and
options contracts on the trading floor of the Exchange. Electronic trading
consists of NYMEX ACCESS(R), which became web-based in the third quarter of 2001
and is an electronic platform for trading contracts. Both systems currently
allow for the trading and clearing of futures contracts on crude oil, heating
oil, unleaded gasoline, natural gas, platinum, gold, silver, copper, aluminum,
propane and palladium.

     Financial information relating to these new business segments is set forth
below, as required by SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise
and Related Information.

8.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     From time to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings and
litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Set forth below are
descriptions of legal proceedings and litigation to which the Company is a party
as of March 31, 2002. Although there can be no assurance as to the ultimate
outcome, the Company has denied, or believes it has a meritorious defense and
will deny, liability in all significant cases pending against it including the
matters described below, and intends to defend vigorously each such case. While
the ultimate result of the proceedings against the Company cannot be predicted
with certainty, it is the opinion of management, after consultation with outside
legal counsel, that the resolution of these matters, in excess of amounts
already recognized, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

     The Company has been named as a defendant in the following legal actions:

     - eSpeed, Inc. and Electronic Trading Systems Corporation. v. New York
       Mercantile Exchange.  This action was originally filed in the United
       States District Court for the Northern District of Texas (Dallas
       Division) and is now pending in United States District Court for the
       Southern District of New York. NYMEX Exchange was served with a summons
       and complaint on or about May 10, 1999. This is a patent infringement
       case. Plaintiff alleges that it is the owner of United States Patent No.
       4,903,201 entitled "Automated Futures Trade Exchange" and that NYMEX
       Exchange is infringing this patent through use of its electronic trading
       system. Plaintiff seeks an unspecified amount of royalties. On September
       15, 2000, the Court granted NYMEX Exchange's motion to sever and transfer
       venue to the Southern District of New York. On August 1, 2001, the Court
       granted a motion to add eSpeed as a plaintiff. On August 10, 2001, the
       Exchange made a motion to bifurcate the issues of willfulness of
       infringement and damages from all other issues in the case and requested
       a stay of discovery on the issues of willfulness and damages. On April
       16, 2002, the Court denied the Exchange's motion and granted plaintiff's
       cross-motion. The Markman hearing was held on April 18, 2002. The Court
       reserved its decision. The case is in discovery.

     - Enrique Rivera and Edith Rivera v. New York Mercantile Exchange, Mark
       Kessloff, Les Faison, Brian Bartichek and John Does "1-10."  This action
       is pending in New York State Supreme Court (Bronx County). NYMEX Exchange
       was served with the summons and complaint on or about April 22, 1999.
       This is an ethnic discrimination case. Plaintiff alleges that throughout
       his employment with NYMEX Exchange he was subjected to a hostile work
       environment and discrimination regarding his ethnic origin. Plaintiff
       seeks an unspecified amount of compensatory and punitive damages. On
       December 17, 2001, the Court rendered a decision granting in part, the
       Exchange's motion, for a further bill of particulars from plaintiffs. The
       case is in discovery.

     - Luxembourg Henry and Jose Terrero v. NY Mercantile Exchange.  This action
       is pending in New York State Supreme Court (New York County). NYMEX
       Exchange was served with a summons and complaint on January 24, 2001.
       Plaintiffs are former employees who were terminated as part of the 10%
       reduction in force that occurred in July 2000. Plaintiffs allege
       harassment and discrimination because of race (Henry) and national origin
       (Terrero) and that they were improperly terminated. Henry seeks
       reinstatement to his former position; compensatory damages in the amount
       of $9,320,000 for lost wages, fringe benefits and emotional distress; and
       costs and disbursements. Terrero seeks reinstatement to his former
       position; compensatory damages in the amount of $4,500,000 for lost
       wages, fringe benefits and emotional distress; and costs and
       disbursements. NYMEX Exchange served its answer on February 13, 2001. The
       case remains in discovery.

     - New York Mercantile Exchange v. GlobalView Software, Inc.  On April 27,
       2001, NYMEX Exchange filed a breach of contract suit in New York State
       Supreme Court (New York County). NYMEX Exchange seeks to recover direct
       and consequential damages resulting from GlobalView's breach of its
       contract with NYMEX Exchange regarding the front-end development for
       enymex(SM). On or about June 18, 2001, GlobalView served its answer and
       counterclaims in which it seeks to recover amounts in excess of
       $26,000,000 for alleged fees due and owing under the contract, as well as
       consequential damages and other causes of action. On June 28, 2001, NYMEX
       Exchange served an amended

                                        9
<PAGE>

       complaint on GlobalView. On or about July 24, 2001, GlobalView filed a
       motion to dismiss one cause of action in the amended complaint. The
       Second Amended Complaint was served on or about November 26, 2001.
       GlobalView served its answer to the Second Amended Complaint and
       Counterclaims on about February 14, 2002. GlobalView asserted two
       additional counterclaims for tortious interference each seeking an
       additional $9 million in damages. On March 14, 2002, the Exchange served
       its reply to the counterclaims.

     When the Company adapted its electronic trading strategy to an
internet-based platform, it terminated the contractual arrangement for its
proprietary network. The Company is currently negotiating a settlement of any
associated termination charges which the Company may be required to pay; an
estimate of which has been accrued and is reflected in the unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements.

9.  DISASTER RECOVERY

     As a result of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack, the Company's
back-up data center, located near the World Trade Center, was rendered
non-operational. The Company is currently utilizing its web hosting facility as
a temporary backup data center. As part of a long-term solution, the Company has
signed a lease for a facility, located outside New York City, to serve as a full
service back-up trading facility and data recovery center. The Company expects
to complete the necessary construction and technological installation before the
end of this year.

     An additional receivable of $1.3 million for the insurance recovery has
been recorded during the first quarter of 2002, bringing the total to $5.5
million. The corresponding expenses have been reduced by this amount in the
unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. $1 million of the
total insurance receivable was collected during the first quarter of 2002. Of
the remaining $4.5 million balance which has been recorded in other current
assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2002, an
additional $2 million was received subsequent to the balance sheet date.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AND STATISTICAL DATA)

INTRODUCTION

     This discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting the results of
operations and financial condition of the Company during the three months ended
March 31, 2002. This discussion is provided to increase the understanding of,
and should be read in conjunction with, the unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements, accompanying notes and tables included in this quarterly
report.

FORWARD LOOKING AND CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS AND FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE
RESULTS

     The SEC encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so
that investors can better understand a company's future prospects and make
informed investment decisions. Except for the historical information and
discussions contained herein, statements contained in this Form 10-Q may
constitute "forward looking statements" within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company has tried, wherever
possible, to identify such statements by using words such as "anticipate,"
"assumes," "believes," "expects" and words and terms of similar substance in
connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance.
These statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors that
may cause actual results to differ materially, including: the Company's ability
to continue to develop and market new innovative products and services and to
keep pace with technological change; failure to continue to develop and market a
new electronic trading system; failure to obtain or protect intellectual
property rights; competitive pressures; financial condition or results of
operations; quarterly fluctuations in revenues and volatility of commodity
prices; changes in financial or business conditions; ability to attract and
retain key personnel; ability to successfully manage acquisitions and alliances;
and legal and economic changes and other risks, uncertainties and factors
discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, in the Company's other filings with the
SEC, or in materials incorporated therein by reference.

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002 AND MARCH 31, 2001

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The Company reported net income of $3,955, or $4,847 per share, which
represented an increase of $4,784, compared to the net loss of $829 in the first
quarter of 2001. This increase was primarily the result of the following
factors:

     - an increase in volume on cleared contracts on the NYMEX Division,
       primarily due to strong trading in natural gas and crude oil;

     - revenues resulting from the introduction of Exchange of Futures for Swaps
       in natural gas;

     - non-recurrence of bad debt expense recorded in the prior year due to the
       bankruptcy filing of a large market data service provider.

     The following discussion provides additional information about the
Company's operating results for the first quarter of 2002:

  Revenues

     Total operating revenues were $42,689 in the first quarter of 2002, up
$9,084 or 27%, from the same period in 2001.

     Clearing and transaction fees which represent the core business of the
Company, are directly affected by volume. Changes in volume are affected by
various external factors such as:

     - shifts in supply and demand of the underlying commodities;

     - market perception of price volatility in the commodities and financial
       markets;

     - weather conditions affecting certain energy commodities; and

                                        11
<PAGE>

     - national and international economic and political conditions.

     In the first quarter of 2002, clearing and transaction fees, net of member
fee rebates, were $32,931 compared to $23,740 earned during the same quarter
last year. This 39% increase was principally the result of greater trading
volume on the NYMEX Division as well as the impact of a board-approved 50%
reduction in NYMEX Division member fee rebate rates. Member fee rebates, which
apply only to NYMEX Division members, amounted to $1,003 and $1,552 for the
three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

     The NYMEX Division's clearing and transaction fees, net of member fee
rebates, was $27,946 in the first quarter of 2002, up 51% from the 2001
comparable period. The overall trading volume for the NYMEX Division increased
33% Regular Trading Hour ("RTH") and 117% NYMEX ACCESS(R) during the first
quarter of 2002 when compared with the same period a year ago.

     Total volume on NYMEX ACCESS(R) also increased 113% compared with the same
period one year ago. The Exchange believes that this increase is due in part to
increased accessibility to the system by users through the internet, the
increase in availability of electronic trading rights due to the lifting of the
cap on such rights, and the implementation of enhanced functionality on the
system.

     Natural Gas -- RTH volume in this contract increased by 112% during the
first quarter 2002 when compared with the same quarter a year ago. Natural Gas
Options traded at record volume levels for the quarter, rising more than
threefold from the first quarter of 2001. Credit concerns and a recovering
economy boosted trading activity in options even more than futures. The Enron
bankruptcy filing created uncertainty in the natural gas market and highlighted
the concerns of counter-party credit risk. Various NYMEX initiatives, including
the Exchange of Futures for Swaps mechanism introduced in Natural Gas in
November 2001, along with lower margin rates, stable price levels and lower
contract values helped promote increased trading in the Natural Gas futures and
options contracts.

     Crude Oil -- RTH volume in this contract increased by 17% during the first
quarter of 2002 when compared with the same quarter a year ago and is the first
quarterly increase in over a year. Heightened volatility levels and credit
concerns in the over-the-counter ("OTC") market accounted for much of the
increase. Uncertainty in the market as measured by the near month option implied
volatility, rose from an average of 41% in the first quarter of 2001 to 51% in
this year's first quarter. Crude Oil futures trading volume increased 12% in the
first quarter of 2002 compared with the previous year's period. Middle East
unrest and increased OPEC compliance with production cuts were behind the
substantial increase in Crude Oil volatility.

     Heating Oil -- RTH volume in this contract increased by 12% during the
first quarter of 2002 when compared with the same quarter a year ago. The
primary factor was higher volatility exhibited by these markets. Somewhat
stronger economic performance boosted demand for refined products. Futures and
options volume both experienced strong growth from the year earlier period. Part
of this can be explained by the falling differential between refined products
and crude oil. In 2001's first quarter, the average first month differential
from crude oil was $4.18 for Heating Oil. This compares to the first quarter of
2002 where the differential fell to $2.47. This impacted options trading far
more than futures trading.

     The COMEX Division's clearing and transaction fees were $4,985 in the first
quarter of 2002, down 4% from the 2001 comparable period. Trading volume
significantly increased in the COMEX Division's silver contracts but was equally
offset by weak trading in the copper contracts, while trading in gold, COMEX's
largest contract, remained flat.

     Silver -- RTH volume in this contract increased by 15% during the first
quarter of 2002 when compared with the same quarter a year ago. Silver futures
experienced the largest increase in metals trading on the Exchange, as futures
activity rose 11% and options rose 42% from the year earlier quarter. Silver
benefited from its status as both an industrial and monetary metal as
accelerated economic activity stimulated trading activity on both counts.

     Copper -- RTH volume in this contract, which is the third most active on
the COMEX division and the seventh most active overall, decreased by 16% during
the first quarter of 2002 when compared with the same

                                        12

quarter a year ago. The industrial metal copper suffered a significant decline
in trading activity compared to the year ago period. A global production
increase offset higher demand for this metal leading to relatively stable prices
and little impetus to institute commercial hedging programs. Plentiful stocks of
this metal were manifested by the cash and carry term structures in their
futures curves.

     Market data fee revenue, which represented 19% of the Company's total
operating revenues for the first quarter of 2002, remained virtually unchanged
compared with the same quarter a year ago. The benefits of a mid-year price
increase in 2001 were largely offset by declining subscriber units, particularly
for COMEX data.

  Operating Expenses

     Total operating expenses were $33,714 during the first quarter of 2002,
down $973 or 3% from the comparable period in 2001.

     Salaries and employee benefits, which constitute 34% of total operating
expenses for the first quarter of 2002, remained virtually unchanged. Annual
merit increases, as well as the filling of several senior management positions,
and additional severance packages issued during the first quarter of 2002 were
offset by savings from the Reduction-in-Workforce plan implemented last year.

     Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, net of deferred
credit amortization, increased by $595, or 16%, in the first quarter of 2002
when compared to the same quarter in 2001. This increase, which is expected to
continue throughout the remainder of the year, is the result of the start-up of
internet-based NYMEX ACCESS(R) trading during the end of 2001. The launch, in
September 2001, initiated the amortization of project-related software
development costs.

     Rent and facility expenses increased by $325, or 8%, during the first
quarter of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. Increased building security
services as a result of the 9-11 terrorist attacks make up the majority of this
increase. This trend is expected to continue during the second quarter of 2002.
This increase was partially offset by a decrease in energy prices for light,
heat and power during the first quarter of 2002.

     Professional services decreased by $310, or 8%, during the first quarter of
2002 over the same quarter a year ago. Consulting services rendered on the
Company's e-commerce initiatives during the first quarter of 2001 compared to
this year's first quarter contributed to the decrease. These savings were
partially offset by significant first quarter expenditures for legal fees to
defend the patent litigation, which has entered the deposition phase of the
case.

     General and administrative expenses decreased by $947 during the first
quarter of 2002, down 22% from the comparable period in 2001. Bad debt expenses
of $813 were recorded during the first quarter of 2001 resulting from the
bankruptcy filing of a large market data service provider.

     Loss on disposition of property and equipment increased by $653 during the
first quarter of 2002 compared to the same quarter last year, primarily as a
result of write-offs of computer equipment.

     Goodwill is no longer being amortized in 2002. The provisions of SFAS No.
142 provide for an impairment test to be performed at least annually rather than
recording monthly amortization. The Company performed such a test during the
first quarter of 2002. There were no impairments recognized during the periods
presented. This has resulted in a decrease in operating expenses for the first
quarter of 2002 of $538 when compared with the same quarter a year ago.

     Other expenses decreased by $412, or 18%, during the first quarter of 2002
compared to the same period in 2001 principally due to lower funding
requirements of the COMEX members retention plan.

  Other Income

     Investment income, net of investment advisory fees, decreased by $916, or
53%, during the first quarter of 2002 when compared to the same quarter in 2001.
Lower returns on fixed income securities as well as lower interest income on
reverse repurchase agreements are the primary reasons for the decline.

                                        13
<PAGE>

  Provision for Income Taxes

     The Company's effective tax rate increased due to the lower proportion of
tax-exempt earnings relative to pre-tax income and changes in estimates.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND CASH FLOWS

  Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company has made, and expects to continue to make, significant
investments in technology to fund its future growth and increase shareholder
value. Capital expenditures were $2,053 during the first quarter of 2002. These
capital expenditures were used to update and enhance computer software
applications. The Company has also developed a plan and anticipates spending
approximately $12-14 million to construct a full service back-up trading
facility and data recovery center, which the Company expects to complete by the
end of 2002. The Company had $79,453 in cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities at March 31, 2002.

     The reduction in cash was primarily the result of the liquidation of the
NYMEX members' retention and retirement plan.

     Current assets at March 31, 2002 increased by $3,687, or 3%, from year-end
2001 primarily as a result of a stronger financial performance in 2002. The
primary changes in current assets consisted of an increase of $4,475 in clearing
and market data receivable due to strong trading volume in the first quarter of
2002.

     Current liabilities at March 31, 2002 decreased by $5,939, or 17%, from
year-end 2001, primarily as a result of payments made during the first quarter
of 2002 for the capital expenditures incurred in the prior quarter for the
disaster recovery from September 11. Offsetting this decrease was an increase in
interest payable of $1,868, or 100%, which represents three more months of
interest on outstanding debt.

  Future Cash Requirements

     As of March 31, 2002, the Company had long-term debt of $94,368 and
short-term debt of $2,815. This debt consisted of the following:

     - $28,183 of 7.48% notes, of which $2,815 is short term, with a remaining
       ten-year principal payout,

     - $54,000 of 7.75% notes with an eleven-year principal payout beginning in
       2011, and

     - $15,000 of 7.84% notes with a five-year principal payout beginning in
       2022.

     The Company would incur a redemption premium should it choose to pay off
any series issue prior to its maturity. These notes contain certain limitations
on the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness.

     The Company believes that its cash flows from operations will be sufficient
to meet its needs for the foreseeable future. In addition, the Company has the
ability, and may seek, to raise capital through issuances of debt or equity in
the private and public capital markets. On an ongoing basis, the Company
considers cost containment measures in an effort to ensure fiscal stability.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In June 2001, FASB issued SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets, which supercedes APB Opinion No. 17, Intangible Assets. This statement,
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, addresses, among
other things, how goodwill and other intangible assets should be accounted for
after they have been initially recognized in the financial statements. The
provisions of SFAS No. 142 provide for an impairment test to be performed at
least annually rather than recording monthly amortization. The Company believes
that the adoption of SFAS No. 142 has a material effect on operations. The
adoption of this standard has increased pre-tax income and net income for the
first quarter of 2002 by $538,000, or $659 per share. The Company believes that
the adoption of this standard will increase annual pre-tax and net income by
$2,153,000 or $2,638 per share, which is the amount of annual amortization of
goodwill.

     In October 2001, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF No. 01-10,
Accounting for the Impact of the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001. This
statement, among other things, addresses how costs and insurance recoveries for
business affected by this event should be accounted for in the financial
statements. The provisions of EITF No. 01-10 provide guidelines for the
recording of a contingent insurance recovery. The Company adopted the provisions
of EITF No. 01-10 during the third quarter of 2001.

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

     On February 14, 2002, the Exchange and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange
("CME") signed a letter of intent to offer newly created "E-mini" versions of
key Exchange energy futures contracts for trading on CME's GLOBEX(R) electronic
trading platform and clearing through the Exchange's clearinghouse. The first
E-mini energy contracts are expected to begin trading this summer.

     On March 19, 2002, the stockholders of NYMEX Holdings, elected a vice
chairman and eight (8) directors at the annual meeting. They elected Mitchell
Steinhause as vice chairman of the board of directors with 414 votes. The
following individuals were also elected to the Company's board of directors and
won with the following number of affirmative votes: Steven Karvellas (318),
Kevin McDonnell (494), Richard Schaeffer (378), Anthony George Gero (492),
Stephen Forman (257), Eric Bolling (301), Joseph Cicchetti (441), and Melvyn
Falis (471). The following directors' terms of office continued after the annual
meeting: Vincent Viola, Gary Rizzi, Madeline Boyd, John Conheeney, Joel Faber,
Kenneth Garland, David Greenberg, E. Bulkeley Griswold, Jesse Harte, Scott Hess,
Harley Lippman, Michel Marks, John McNamara, Gordon Rutledge, Richard Saitta,
and Robert Steele.

     Additionally, at the annual meeting, the stockholders approved an Incentive
Compensation Plan by a vote of 319 in favor of, 198 against, and 62 abstentions.

                                        15

     On May 14, 2002, a seat on the NYMEX Division sold for $960,000, topping
the record of $950,000 set on May 13, 2002. Ownership of a seat on the NYMEX
Division also represents a share of common stock in NYMEX Holdings, as well as a
Class A membership on NYMEX Exchange.

     On May 8, 2002, the Board of Directors approved a launch date of May 31,
2002, for its over-the-counter ("OTC") clearing initiative. The implementation
date is pending approval of the appropriate rules by the CFTC. Exchange OTC
clearing will enable market participants to take advantage of the financial
depth and integrity of the Exchange's clearinghouse, while conducting business
with parties of their own choosing at prices of their negotiation. Parties will
be able to conduct a transaction anywhere and submit them through a web
interface provided by the Exchange or a portal provided through its confirmation
services. Once submitted to the Exchange, these OTC transactions will be checked
against credit limits established by the clearing members and when approved, the
transactions will be matched and cleared by the Exchange. The Exchange will also
be able to provide third-party record-keeping and confirmation services to
parties transacting purely non-cleared bilateral trades.

  Electronic Trading Strategy

     During the first quarter of 2002, the Company continued its repositioning
of its electronic trading strategy in an effort to expedite delivery of the
Company's products to the electronic marketplace and expand the size and scope
of its customer base. The Company continues to upgrade and enhance NYMEX
ACCESS(R) to handle more users and improve the reliability and performance of
the system. Moreover, the Company continued to focus on transitioning its NYMEX
ACCESS(R) system to an internet-based trading platform that will accommodate
trading or clearing of products that are designed to replicate and complement
contracts traded in the OTC markets, but within the forum of an exchange. In
this way, the Company hopes to combine its expertise and leadership as an
exchange with state of the art technology in order to provide users with a
comprehensive system in commodity risk management. The Company decided to
reposition its electronic trading strategy through NYMEX ACCESS(R), as opposed
to developing a new trading platform, in part because of delays in the
development of a separate enymex(SM) delivery system undertaken by the Company.

     In December 2001, the Board of Directors approved the expansion of the
number of users who can trade on NYMEX ACCESS(R) through the issuance of
electronic trading privileges. The addition of these privileges began in
February 2002 and the Company has continued to phase in the increased privileges
in the coming months. Previously, the number of electronic trading privileges
for the NYMEX Division products was limited to the number of NYMEX Division
memberships. The Company believes that the issuance of these additional
privileges may greatly expand the users of NYMEX ACCESS(R).

  Disaster Recovery

     As a result of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack, the Company's
back-up data center, located near the World Trade Center, was rendered
non-operational. The Company is currently utilizing its web hosting facility as
a temporary backup data center. As part of a long-term solution, the Company has
signed a lease for a facility, located outside New York City, to serve as a full
service back-up trading facility and data recovery center. The Company expects
to complete the necessary construction and technological installation before the
end of this year.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING

     Management is responsible for the preparation, integrity and objectivity of
the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes, and
the other financial information contained in this quarterly report. Such
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America and are considered by
management to present fairly the Company's financial position, results of
operations and cash flows. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements include some amounts that are based on management's best estimates
and judgements, giving due consideration to materiality.

INTEREST RATE RISK

     Current Assets.  In the normal course of business, the Company invests
primarily in fixed income securities. Marketable securities bought by the
Company are typically held for the purpose of selling them in the near term and
are classified as trading securities. Unrealized gains and losses are included
in earnings. For the three months ended March 31, 2002 and the year ended
December 31, 2001, the Company had net investment income of $.8 million and $4.6
million, respectively. Accordingly, a substantial portion of the Company's
income depends upon its ability to continue to invest monies in these
instruments at prevailing interest rates and market prices. The fair value of
these securities at March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001 were $65 million. The
change in fair value, using a hypothetical 10% decline in prices, is estimated
to be $6.5 million for March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. The
Company also invests in U.S. government securities and reverse repurchase
agreements and maintains interest-bearing balances in its trading accounts with
its investment managers. Financial instruments with maturities of three months
or less when purchased are classified as cash equivalents in the condensed
consolidated balance sheets.

     Debt.  The interest rate on the Company's long-term indebtedness is a
weighted average fixed rate of 7.69%. The Company's fixed rate debt is exposed
to the risk that the fair market value of its debt will increase in a declining
interest rate environment. This would result in the Company paying a redemption
premium if it should choose to refinance this debt. Management has not deemed it
necessary to employ any interest rate risk management strategies, such as
interest rate swap agreements. In the future, as the Company pursues its market
strategy, it may become subject to a higher degree of interest rate sensitivity
if it is required to borrow at higher or at variable rates. This could
significantly increase the Company's future sensitivity to interest rate
fluctuations and materially affect, in a negative manner, the Company's future
financial position and results of operations. There have been no material
changes in the Company's outstanding debt since December 31, 2001.
