                   THE JONES FINANCIAL COMPANIES, L.L.L.P

                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 (Unaudited)


BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of The Jones Financial Companies, L.L.L.P. and all wholly owned
subsidiaries (the "Partnership"). All material intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated. Investments in nonconsolidated companies
which are at least 20% owned are accounted for using the equity method.

         The Partnership's principal operating subsidiary, Edward D. Jones &
Co., L.P. ("EDJ"), is engaged in business as a registered broker/dealer
primarily serving individual investors. The Partnership derives its revenues
from the sale of listed and unlisted securities and insurance products,
investment banking and principal transactions and is a distributor of mutual
fund shares. The Partnership conducts business throughout the United States,
Canada and the United Kingdom with its customers, various brokers, dealers,

NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

         As a result of its activities as a broker/dealer, EDJ is subject to
the Net Capital provisions of Rule 15c3-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 and the capital rules of the New York Stock Exchange. Under the
alternative method permitted by the rules, EDJ must maintain minimum Net
Capital, as defined, equal to the greater of $250,000 or 2% of aggregate
debit items arising from customer transactions. The Net Capital rule also
provides that partnership capital may not be withdrawn if resulting Net
Capital would be less than 5% of aggregate debit items. Additionally,
certain withdrawals require the consent of the SEC to the extent they exceed
defined levels even though such withdrawals would not cause Net Capital to
be less than 5% of aggregate debit items.

         At March 30, 2001, EDJ's Net Capital of $403.5 million was 23% of
aggregate debit items and its Net Capital in excess of the minimum required
was $367.7 million. Net Capital as a percentage of aggregate debits after
anticipated withdrawals was 21%. Net Capital and the related capital
percentage may fluctuate on a daily basis.

         The firm has other operating subsidiaries, including Boone National
Savings and Loan Association, F.A. (the "Association") and broker/dealer
subsidiaries in Canada and the United Kingdom. These wholly owned
subsidiaries are required to maintain specified levels of liquidity and
capital standards. Each subsidiary is in compliance with the applicable
regulations as of March 30, 2001.

                   THE JONES FINANCIAL COMPANIES, L.L.L.P.

                      MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION

                    QUARTER ENDED MARCH 30, 2001, VERSUS

                        QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2000


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         For the first three months of 2001, total revenue decreased 8%
($48.8 million) to $529.0 million, and net income decreased 45% ($30.8
million) to $37.8 million. The decrease in revenue and net income is due
primarily to lower customer activity due to market conditions. During the
first quarter of 2000, customer activity was very strong. Beginning in the
second quarter of 2000 and continuing through the first quarter of 2001,
customer investing activity returned to a more average level.

         The partnership segments its revenues between trade revenue
(revenue from buy or sell transactions on securities) and fee revenue
(sources other than trade revenues). Trade revenue comprised 63% of total
revenue for the first quarter of 2001, down from 69% in 2000. Conversely fee
revenue sources, such as service fees, management fees, IRA fees and
interest income, were 37% of total revenue for the first quarter of 2001, up
from 31% in 2000. The shift in mix is due primarily to lower customer
activity in the first quarter of 2001, and to a modest increase in fee
revenue year over year.

         Trade revenue decreased 17% ($67.1 million) during the first
quarter of 2001 due to a decrease in customer dollars invested. Total
customer dollars invested were $12.7 billion during the first quarter of
2001, representing a 31% ($5.6 billion) decrease from the comparable prior
year period. There was also one less selling day in the current quarter
compared to the first quarter last year. These negative factors were
partially offset by a 19% increase in the margin on each $1,000 invested, to
$25.50 in the first three months of 2001 from $21.50 in the first three
months of 2000. Year over year, the composition of the product mix shifted
from individual equities and CDs, which have the lowest margins, to mutual
funds, fixed income and insurance products.

         Fee revenue sources increased 10% ($18.3 million) for the quarter
ended March 30, 2001, due primarily to growth in revenue from mutual fund
fees, subtransfer agent services and IRA fees. The Partnership's continued
expansion in recent years of its product and service offerings has had a
positive impact on fee revenue. Service fees increased 4% ($2.8 million)
year over year, due primarily to a 5%

increase in average customer assets. Interest income increased 4% ($2.1
million) year over year. The increase is due to a 10% increase in average
customer loan balances outstanding for the first quarter of 2001 compared to
the same period last year, partially offset by a decrease in interest rates
during the current period.

         Focusing on changes in major revenue categories, commissions
revenue, including service fees, decreased 16% ($63.4 million) during the
first quarter of 2001, due to lower customer volume. Listed and over-the-
counter (OTC) agency commissions decreased 38% ($52.0 million), and mutual
fund commissions decreased 4% ($8.9 million).

         Principal transactions revenue increased 10% ($6.2 million) during
the first quarter of 2001. The increase is primarily attributable to an
increase in corporate bonds, partially offset by a shift away from CDs.

         Other revenue, comprised of various fee revenue sources, increased
23% ($14.3 million) for the first quarter of 2001. Fee revenue received from
money market, mutual fund and insurance products increased 30% ($13.1
million). Additionally, the number of IRA accounts increased, resulting in
custodial fee revenue growth of 21% ($1.8 million).

         Operating expenses decreased 4% ($18.0 million) to $473.0 million
during the quarter ended March 30, 2001. Compensation and benefits costs
decreased 12% ($41.5 million). Sales compensation decreased 12% ($22.7
million) for the quarter due to decreased revenue. Variable compensation,
including bonuses and profit sharing paid to IRs, branch office assistants
and headquarters associates, which expands and contracts in relation to
revenues, net income and profit margin, decreased 62% ($40.7 million) due to
the lower revenue and earnings levels. Offsetting these decreases in
compensation expense was a 25% increase ($22.7 million) in payroll expense
for existing personnel and additional support at both the headquarters and
in the branches as the firm grows its sales force. The Partnership added
1,379 IRs (22%) since March 31, 2000, ending the quarter with 7,653.

         Occupancy and equipment expenses increased 22% ($8.9 million). The
Partnership continues to expand its headquarters and branch locations to
enable it to continue to increase its number of IRs, locations and
customers.

           Results Of Operations


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Partnership's equity capital at March 30, 2001, excluding the
reserve for anticipated withdrawals, was $620.8 million, compared to $603.1
million at December 31, 2000. Equity capital has increased primarily due to
the retention of General Partner earnings ($7.7 million) and to an increase
in Subordinated Limited Partner capital ($11.5 million).

         At March 30, 2001, the Partnership had $152.9 million in cash and
cash equivalents. Lines of credit are in place aggregating $1.095 billion
($1.045 billion of which is through uncommitted lines of credit). Actual
borrowing availability is based on securities owned and customers' margin
securities which serve as collateral for the loans.

         A substantial portion of the Partnership's assets are primarily
liquid, consisting mainly of cash and assets readily convertible into cash.
These assets are financed primarily by customer credit balances, equity
capital, bank lines of credit and other payables. The Partnership has $190.1
million in U.S. agency and treasury securities (investment securities) which
can be sold to meet liquidity needs. The Partnership believes that the
liquidity provided by existing cash balances, borrowing arrangements, and
investment securities will be sufficient to meet the Partnership's capital
and liquidity requirements.

         The Partnership's growth in recent years has been financed through
sales of limited partnership interests to its employees, retention of
earnings, and private placements of long-term and subordinated debt.

         For the three months ended March 30, 2001, cash and cash
equivalents decreased $23.5 million. Cash provided by operating activities
was $38.1 million. Cash used in investing activities consisted of $16.9
million in capital expenditures primarily attributable to the firm's
expansion of its headquarters and branch facilities required as the firm
grows its sales force. Cash used in financing activities was $44.7 million
consisting primarily of partnership withdrawals ($53.4 million) partially
offset by issuance of Subordinated Limited Partner interests ($11.5
million).

         As a result of its activities as a broker/dealer, EDJ, the
Partnership's principal subsidiary, is subject to the Net Capital provisions
of Rule 15c3-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the capital rules
of the New York Stock Exchange. Under the alternative method permitted by
the rules, EDJ must maintain minimum Net Capital, as defined, equal to the
greater of $250,000 or 2% of aggregate debit items arising from customer
transactions. The Net Capital Rule also provides that partnership capital

may not be withdrawn if resulting Net Capital would be less than 5% of
aggregate debit items. Additionally, certain withdrawals require the consent
of the SEC to the extent they exceed defined levels even though such
withdrawals would not cause Net Capital to be less than 5% of aggregate
debit items. At March 30, 2001, EDJ's Net Capital of $403.5 million was 23%
of aggregate debit items and its Net Capital in excess of the minimum
required was $367.7 million. Net Capital as a percentage of aggregate debits
after anticipated withdrawals was 21%. Net Capital and the related capital
percentage may fluctuate on a daily basis. The firm has other operating
subsidiaries, including the Association and broker/dealer subsidiaries in
Canada and the United Kingdom. These wholly owned subsidiaries are required
to maintain specified levels of liquidity and capital standards. Each
subsidiary is in compliance with the applicable regulations as of March 30,
2001.

         There were no material changes in the Partnership's overall
financial condition during the three months ended March 30, 2001, compared
with the three months ended March 31, 2000. The Partnership's consolidated
statement of financial condition is comprised primarily of cash and assets
readily convertible into cash. Securities inventories are carried at market
value and are readily marketable. Customer margin accounts are
collateralized by marketable securities. Other customer receivables and
receivables and payables with other broker/dealers normally settle on a
current basis. Liabilities, including amounts payable to customers,
outstanding checks and accounts payable and accrued expenses are sources of
funds to the Partnership. These liabilities, to the extent not utilized to
finance assets, are available to meet liquidity needs and provide funds for
short-term investments, which favorably impacts profitability.

THE EFFECTS OF INFLATION

         The Partnership's net assets are primarily monetary, consisting of
cash, securities inventories and receivables less liabilities. Monetary net
assets are primarily liquid in nature and would not be significantly
affected by inflation. Inflation and future expectations of inflation
influence securities prices, as well as activity levels in the securities
markets. As a result, profitability and capital may be impacted by inflation
and inflationary expectations. Additionally, inflation's impact on the
Partnership's operating expenses may affect profitability to the extent that
additional costs are not recoverable through increased prices of services
offered by the Partnership.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

         The Management's Financial Discussion contains forward-looking
statements within the meaning of federal securities laws. Actual results are
subject to risks and uncertainties, including both those specific to the
Partnership and those specific to the industry which could cause results to
differ materially from those contemplated. The risks and uncertainties
include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, actions of
competitors, regulatory actions, changes in legislation and technology
changes. Undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q. The Partnership does not undertake any obligation to publicly update
any forward-looking statements.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

         The SEC issued market risk disclosure requirements to enhance
disclosures of accounting policies for derivatives and other financial
instruments and to provide quantitative and qualitative disclosures about
market risk inherent in derivatives and other financial instruments. Various
levels of management within the Partnership manage the firm's risk exposure.
Position limits in trading and inventory accounts are established and
monitored on an ongoing basis. Credit risk related to various financing
activities is reduced by the industry practice of obtaining and maintaining
collateral. The Partnership monitors its exposure to counterparty risk
through the use of credit exposure information, the monitoring of collateral
values and the establishment of credit limits.

         There were no significant changes in the Partnership's exposure to
interest rate risk during the quarter ended March 30, 2001.
