                   THE JONES FINANCIAL COMPANIES, L.L.L.P.
                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 (Unaudited)

             (Dollars in thousands, except per unit information)

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

THE PARTNERSHIP'S BUSINESS AND BASIS OF ACCOUNTING. The accompanying
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Jones
Financial Companies, L.L.L.P. and all wholly owned subsidiaries
(collectively, the "Partnership"). All material intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Non-controlling minority
interests owned are accounted for under the equity method.

The Partnership operates as a single business segment. The Partnership's
principal operating subsidiary, Edward D. Jones & Co., L.P. ("Edward
Jones"), is comprised of three registered broker-dealers primarily serving
individual investors. Edward Jones primarily derives its revenues from the
retail brokerage business through the sale of listed and unlisted
securities, insurance products, investment banking and principal
transactions and as a distributor of mutual fund shares. Edward Jones
conducts business throughout the United States of America, Canada and the
United Kingdom with its customers, various brokers, dealers, clearing
organizations, depositories and banks. Boone National Savings and Loan
Association, F.A. (the "Association"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Partnership, makes commercial, real estate and other loans primarily to
customers in central Missouri. Additionally, the Association offers trust
services to Edward Jones customers through its division, the Edward Jones
Trust Company. See Subsequent Event note for information on the pending sale
of the Association's banking business.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the accrual
basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") which require the use of
certain estimates by management in determining the Partnership's assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.

Substantially all of the Partnership's short-term financial assets and
liabilities are carried at fair value or contracted amounts which
approximate fair value.

Under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, a partner's capital will be
redeemed by the Partnership in the event of the partner's death, resignation
or termination. In the event of the partner's death, the Partnership must
redeem the partner's capital within six months. Limited partners withdrawing
from the Partnership due to termination or resignation are repaid their
capital in three equal annual installments beginning the month after their
resignation or termination. The capital of general partners resigning or
terminated from the Partnership is converted to subordinated limited
partnership capital. Subordinated limited partners are repaid their capital
in four equal annual installments beginning the month after their request
for withdrawal of contributed capital. The Partnership's managing partner
has the discretion to waive these withdrawal restrictions. All current and
future partnership capital is subordinate to all current and future
liabilities of the Partnership, including the liabilities subordinated to
claims of general creditors.

The interim financial information included herein is unaudited. However, in
the opinion of management, such information includes all adjustments,
consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals, which are necessary for a
fair presentation of the results of interim operations. Certain prior period
amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Item 1.  Financial Statements


The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and
March 24, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2005.

REVENUE RECOGNITION. Customer transactions are recorded on a settlement date
basis and the related commissions, principal transactions and investment
banking revenues are recorded on a trade date basis. All other forms of
revenue are recorded on an accrual basis.

Commissions consist of charges to customers for the sale of securities,
insurance products and mutual fund shares.

Asset fees revenue consists primarily of service fees and other revenues
received under agreements with mutual fund and insurance companies based on
the underlying value of the Partnership's customers' assets invested in
those companies' products. The asset-based portion of the Partnership's
revenues related to its interest in the Edward Jones Money Market Fund is
also included in asset fees revenue.

Account and activity fees revenue includes fees received from mutual fund
companies for sub-transfer agent accounting services performed by the
Partnership and self-directed IRA custodian account fees. It also includes
other activity based revenues from customers, mutual fund companies and
insurance companies.

Principal transactions revenue is the result of the Partnership's
participation in market-making activities in over-the-counter corporate
securities, municipal obligations, U.S. Government obligations, including
general obligations and revenue bonds, unit investment trusts and
mortgage-backed securities.

Interest and dividend income is earned primarily on margin account balances,
securities purchased under agreement to resell, inventory securities and
investment securities.

Investment banking revenues are derived from the Partnership's underwriting
and distribution of securities on behalf of issuers.

PARTNERSHIP CAPITAL SUBJECT TO MANDATORY REDEMPTION

The Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments
with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity," established standards
for classifying and measuring certain financial instruments with
characteristics of both liabilities and equity. Since the Partnership is
obligated to redeem a partner's capital after a partner's death, SFAS No.
150 requires all of the Partnership's equity capital to be classified as a
liability. Income allocable to limited, subordinated limited and general
partners is considered interest expense and is classified as a reduction of
income before allocations to partners in the Partnership's statement of
income, which results in a presentation of $0 net income for the three month
periods ended March 31, 2006 and March 24, 2005. The financial statement
presentations required to comply with GAAP do not alter the Partnership's
treatment of income, income allocations or equity capital for any other
purposes. In addition, SFAS No. 150 does not have any effect on, nor is it
applicable to, the Partnership's subsidiaries' financial statements.

Net income, as defined in the Partnership Agreement, is now equivalent to
income before allocations to partners in the Consolidated Statements of
Income. Such income, if any, for each calendar year is allocated to the
Partnership's three classes of capital in accordance with the formulas
prescribed in the Partnership Agreement. First, limited partners are
allocated net income (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) in accordance
with the prescribed formula for their share of net income. Thereafter,

                        PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1.  Financial Statements


subordinated limited partners and general partners are allocated any
remaining net income based on formulas in the Partnership Agreement. Limited
partners do not share in the net loss (as defined in the Partnership
Agreement) in any year in which there is net loss and the Partnership is not
dissolved or liquidated.

Partnership capital subject to mandatory redemption, net of reserve for
anticipated withdrawals, of $842,119 consists of $211,208 of limited
partnership capital issued in $1,000 units, $124,535 of subordinated limited
partnership capital and $506,376 of general partnership capital as of March
31, 2006. The reserve for anticipated withdrawals consists of current year
profits to be withdrawn over the next year.

Limited partnership capital is held by current and former employees,
subordinated limited partners and general partners of the Partnership.
Limited partners are guaranteed a minimum 7.5% return on the face amount of
their capital. Expense related to the 7.5% return was $4,000 and $4,100 for
the three months ended March 31, 2006 and March 24, 2005, respectively, and
is included as a component of Interest Expense. The 7.5% return is paid to
limited partners regardless of the Partnership's earnings.

Subordinated limited partnership capital is held by current and former
general partners of the Partnership. Each subordinated limited partner
receives a varying percentage of the net income of the Partnership.
Subordinated limited partner capital is subordinated to the limited
partnership capital.

NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

As a result of its activities as a broker-dealer, Edward Jones 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, Inc, ("NYSE").
Under the alternative method permitted by the rules, Edward Jones must
maintain minimum Net Capital equal to the greater of $250 or 2% of aggregate
debit items arising from customer transactions. The Net Capital rules also
provide 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 Securities and Exchange
Commission ("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 31, 2006, Edward Jones's Net Capital of $587.2 million was 26.8% of
aggregate debit items and its Net Capital in excess of the minimum required
was $543.4 million. Net Capital items after anticipated withdrawals, which
are scheduled subordinated debt payments through September 29, 2006, as a
percentage of aggregate debit items was 24.7%. Net capital and the related
capital percentages may fluctuate on a daily basis.

At March 31, 2006, the Partnership's foreign broker-dealer subsidiaries and
the Association were in compliance with regulatory capital requirements in
the jurisdictions in which they operate.

CONTINGENCIES

In the normal course of business, the Partnership has been named, from time
to time, as a defendant in various legal actions, including arbitrations,
class actions and other litigation. Certain of these legal actions include
claims for substantial compensatory and/or punitive damages or claims for
indeterminate amounts of damages. The Partnership is also involved, from
time to time in investigations and proceedings by governmental and
self-regulatory agencies, certain of which may result in adverse judgments,
fines or penalties. In recent years, the number of legal actions and
investigations has increased with a focus on mutual fund issues among many
firms in the financial services industry, including the Partnership.

In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of such
matters, particularly in cases in which claimants seek substantial or
indeterminate damages, or actions which are in very preliminary stages, the
Partnership cannot predict with certainty the eventual loss or range of loss
related to such matters. The Partnership believes, based on current
knowledge and after consultation with counsel, that the outcome of these
actions will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated
financial condition of the Partnership, although the outcome could be
material to the Partnership's future operating results for a particular
period or periods. For additional discussions, refer to "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations"
included in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2005, and Part II, Item I "Legal Proceedings" in this
Form 10-Q.

Also, in the normal course of business, the Partnership enters into
contracts which contain indemnification provisions, such as purchase
contracts, service agreements, escrow agreements, sales of assets,
outsourcing agreements and leasing arrangements. Under the provisions of
these contracts, the Partnership may indemnify counterparties to the
contracts for certain aspects of the Partnership's past conduct if other
parties fail to perform, or if certain events occur. These indemnification
provisions will vary based upon the contract. The Partnership may in turn
obtain indemnifications from other parties in certain contracts. These
indemnification provisions are not expected to have a material impact on the
Partnership's consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On April 4, 2006, the Association, the Partnership and Commerce Bank, N.A.
("Commerce") entered into a Purchase and Assumption Agreement (the "Purchase
Agreement") pursuant to which Commerce agreed to acquire substantially all
of the assets and assume substantially all of the liabilities of the
Association related to its banking business. Under the Purchase Agreement,
the Partnership will receive a purchase price of $16.2 million adjusted for
the Association's net assets purchased or liabilities assumed by Commerce.
The Partnership estimates it will recognize a gain on the sale; however, the
amount is not expected to be material to the Partnership. The actual gain
will be based on the Association's balance sheet as of the closing subject
to adjustment for the value of the net assets purchased or liabilities
assumed. Upon the closing of the Purchase Agreement, the Association will no
longer be in engaged in the business of banking. The Association will be
renamed the Edward Jones Trust Company and will continue the trust business
being conducted by the Edward Jones Trust Company, currently a division of
the Association.

Consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement is
subject to approval by regulatory authorities and to the satisfaction of
certain other conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase
Agreement is expected to close in the third quarter of 2006.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
         AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

We are providing certain information in this discussion of our results of
operations, including a measure of income before allocations to partners,
that may be considered financial measures not in accordance with GAAP. We
believe that these figures are helpful in allowing the reader to more
accurately assess the ongoing nature of our operations and measure our
performance more consistently. We use the presented financial measures
internally to understand and assess the performance of our business.
Therefore, we believe that this information is meaningful in addition to the
information contained in the GAAP presentation of financial information. The
presentation of this additional financial information is not intended to be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information
prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

For internal analysis, the Partnership broadly categorizes its revenues as
trade revenue (revenue from buy or sell transactions on securities) and net
fee revenue (sources other than trade revenue). In the Partnership's
Consolidated Statements of Income, trade revenue is comprised of
commissions, principal transactions and investment banking. Net fee revenue
is comprised of asset fees, account and activity fees, interest and
dividends net of interest expense and other revenues.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2006 AND
MARCH 24, 2005

For the first three months of 2006, net revenue increased 17% ($124.9
million) to $866.0 million, while income before allocations to partners
increased 49% ($31.6 million) to $95.6 million. The Partnership's profit
margin based on income before allocations to partners increased to 10.9% in
the first quarter of 2006, from 8.5% in the first quarter of 2005. The
Partnership's net revenue, and income before allocations to partners
increased primarily due to increased customer dollars invested (the
principal amount of customers' buy and sell transactions generating trade
revenue), growth in customer asset values, higher net interest income,
recognition of a gain of $5.1 million on the exchange of its NYSE membership
for shares as a result of the merger between the NYSE and Archipelago, and a
gain of $6.5 million from the sale of the Partnership's interest in the
investment advisor to Federated's Capital Income Fund. Operating expenses
increased due primarily to growth in sales compensation related to the
increase in net revenues, costs associated with legal matters, and costs
associated with the continued expansion and enhancement of the Partnership's
branch office network. The Partnership added 281 Investment Representatives
("IRs") during the twelve months ended March 31, 2006, ending the quarter
with 9,824 IRs, an increase of 3% from 9,543 IRs as of March 24, 2005.

TRADE REVENUE

Trade revenue comprised 59% of net revenue for the first quarter of 2006,
down from 61% for the first quarter of 2005. Conversely, net fee revenue
comprised 41% for the first quarter of 2006, up from 39% in the first
quarter of 2005.

         Results of Operations, continued


Trade revenue of $507.4 million increased 12% ($53.1 million) during the
first quarter of 2006 compared to the same period in the prior year. Trade
revenue increased due primarily to an increase in customer dollars invested
partially offset by a lower average gross margin earned on customer dollars
invested when compared to the first quarter of 2005. Total customer dollars
invested were $20.8 billion during the first quarter of 2006, an 18% ($3.2
billion) increase from the first quarter of 2005 due in part to five
additional selling days in 2006. There were 62 days in the first quarter of
2006, a 9% increase over the 57 days in the first quarter of 2005. The
Partnership's margin earned on each $1,000 invested decreased to $24.50 for
the first quarter of 2006 from $25.90 in 2005. Year over year, customer
dollars invested shifted to shorter term fixed income products reducing the
margin earned on each $1,000 invested.

Commissions revenue increased 13% ($51.1 million) for the first quarter of
2006 to $441.9 million. Commissions revenue increased year over year due
primarily to a 14% ($1.8 billion) increase in customer dollars invested to
$14.7 billion. Underlying the increase in commissions revenues, mutual fund
commissions increased 13% ($35.2 million), equity commissions increased 9%
($7.1 million), and insurance commissions increased 18% ($8.6 million). The
following table summarizes commissions revenue quarter over quarter:

Principal transactions revenue increased 3% ($1.9 million) to $57.6 million
during the first quarter of 2006 due primarily to an increase in customer
dollars invested offset by a shift in customer dollars invested from higher
margin, longer maturity bonds to lower margin, shorter maturity certificates
of deposit. The Partnership's margin earned on principal transactions on
each $1,000 invested decreased to $9.80 during the first quarter of 2006
from $12.10 during the first quarter of 2005. Customers invested $5.7
billion in principal transactions in the first quarter of 2006 compared to
$4.4 billion in the first quarter of 2005, an increase of 30%. Revenue from
municipal bonds increased 13% ($2.2 million), corporate bonds increased 5%
($0.7 million), and certificates of deposit increased 38% ($2.5 million),
while collateralized mortgage obligations decreased 37% ($2.1 million) and
government bonds decreased 10% ($0.6 million). The following table

quarter of 2006 to $7.9 million, due primarily to an increase in municipal
offerings in the current quarter.

NET FEE REVENUE

Net fee revenue, which is Fee Revenue net of interest expense, increased 25%
($71.7 million) to $358.5 million during the first quarter of 2006. Asset
fees increased 24% ($39.3 million) to $204.8 million due primarily to the
favorable impact of market conditions increasing customers' mutual fund and
insurance assets generating asset fees. Average customer mutual fund and
insurance assets increased 22% ($44.0 billion) to $241.9 billion in the
first quarter of 2006 compared to $197.9 billion in the first quarter of
2005.

Account and activity fees of $91.7 million increased 10% ($8.1 million) year
over year. Revenue received from sub-transfer agent services performed for
mutual fund companies increased 15% ($7.1 million) to $53.8 million. The
number of customer accounts for which the Partnership provides mutual fund
sub-transfer agent services increased by 18%. Other revenue of $17.5 million
increased 220% ($12.0 million) year over year. 2006 includes a $5.1 million
gain from the receipt of shares in exchange for the Partnership's NYSE
membership as a result of the merger between the NYSE and Archipelago and a
$6.5 million gain from the sale of the Partnership's interest in the
investment advisor to Federated's Capital Income Fund. This was offset by
the Partnership's gain on investment securities included in Other revenue
decreasing by $4.1 million year over year.

Net interest and dividend income increased 38% ($12.2 million) to $44.5
million during the first quarter of 2006 due primarily to an increase in
interest rates and an increase in volume of securities purchased under
agreements to resell. Interest income from customer loans increased 21%
($8.1 million). The average rate earned on customer loan balances increased
due to the increase in short-term interest rates during the past year to
approximately 8.32% during the first quarter of 2006 from approximately
6.35% during the first quarter of 2005, while the average customer loan
balance decreased 7% ($176.6 million) to $2.3 billion. Interest income from
securities purchased under agreement to resell increased 305% ($4.3 million)
to $5.7 million. The average rate on these balances increased to 4.34%
during the first quarter of 2006 from 2.34% during the first quarter of
2005, and the average investment balance increased 6% ($279.8 million) to
$543.6 million.

Operating expenses increased 14% ($93.3 million) to $770.4 million during
the first quarter of 2006. Compensation and benefits costs increased 18%
($77.8 million) to $520.2 million. Within compensation and benefits costs,
sales compensation increased 18% ($43.2 million) due to increased revenues.
Variable compensation, including bonuses and profit sharing paid to IRs,
branch office assistants and headquarter associates, which expands and
contracts in relation to revenues, income before allocations to partners and
the Partnership's related profit margin increased 40% ($20.3 million).
Headquarters and branch payroll expense increased 7% ($4.3 million) due to
increased salary and medical costs for existing personnel and additional
support in the branches as the Partnership increased its sales force. On a
full time equivalent basis, the Partnership had 4,137 headquarters
associates and 10,209 branch staff associates as of March 31, 2006 compared
to 4,024 headquarters associates and 9,858 branch staff associates as of
March 24, 2005.

Legal expenses increased 80% ($8.0 million) due primarily to costs
associated with legal matters, (See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in the Partnership's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, and
Part II, Item 1 "Legal Proceedings" in this Form 10-Q for additional
discussion on legal matters and regulatory settlements).

Results of Operations, continued


MUTUAL FUND MATTERS

In recent years, mutual fund and annuity products have come under increased
scrutiny from various state and federal regulatory authorities in connection
with several industry issues including market timing, late trading, the
failure of various broker-dealers to provide breakpoint discounts to mutual
fund purchasers, the sale of certain mutual fund share classes, mutual fund
net asset value transfer programs and the manner in which mutual fund and
annuity companies compensate broker-dealers.

The Partnership has received information requests and subpoenas from various
regulatory and enforcement authorities regarding the Partnership's mutual
fund compensation arrangements, mutual fund sales practices and other mutual
fund issues. The Partnership is voluntarily cooperating with each inquiry.
Also, the Partnership has been named as a defendant in various class actions
on behalf of purchasers of recommended mutual funds.

For additional discussions of mutual fund matters, refer to "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations"
included in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2005, and Part II, Item 1 "Legal Proceedings" in this
Form 10-Q.

There are regulatory proposals being considered that could significantly
impact the disclosure and potentially the amount of compensation that
broker-dealers derive from mutual funds and annuity products. The
Partnership believes it is likely in the future that broker-dealers will be
required to provide more disclosure to their clients with respect to
payments received by them from the sales of these products. It is also
possible that such payments may be restricted by law or regulation.

The Partnership derived 67% of its total revenue from sales and services
related to mutual fund and annuity products in the first three months of
2006 and 68% in the first three months of 2005. The Partnership derived 30%
of its total revenue for the first three months of 2006 and 34% for the
first three months of 2005 from one mutual fund vendor. Significant
reductions in the revenues from these mutual fund sources could have a
material impact on the Partnership's results of operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Partnership's capital subject to mandatory redemption at March 31, 2006,
excluding the reserve for anticipated withdrawals, was $842.1 million,
compared to $802.6 million at December 31, 2005. The increase is primarily
due to the retention of General Partner earnings ($27.2 million) and the
issuance of general partners and subordinated limited partner interests
($26.9 million and $7.5 million, respectively), offset by redemption of
general partner, subordinated limited partner and limited partner interests
($3.1 million, $18.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively).

At March 31, 2006, the Partnership had $272.2 million in cash and cash
equivalents. Lines of credit are in place aggregating $1.210 billion ($1.160
billion of which is through uncommitted lines of credit where actual
borrowing availability is based on securities owned and customers' margin
securities which serve as collateral for the loans). No amounts were
outstanding under these lines at March 31, 2006. The Association had loans
from The Federal Home Loan Bank of $31.2 million as of March 31, 2006 which
were secured by mortgage loans.

The Partnership believes that the liquidity provided by existing cash
balances, other highly liquid assets and borrowing arrangements will be
sufficient to meet the Partnership's capital and liquidity requirements.
Depending on conditions in the capital markets and other factors, the
Partnership will, from time to time, consider the issuance of debt, the
proceeds of which could be used to meet growth needs or for other purposes.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations, continued


The Partnership's growth in recent years has been financed through sales of
subordinated limited partnership interests to its current or retiring
general partners, retention of general partner earnings, private placements
of subordinated debt, long-term secured debt and operating leases under
which the Partnership rents facilities, furniture, fixtures, computers and
communication equipment. There were no significant changes in the
Partnership's financial commitments and obligations for the three months
ended March 31, 2006.

For the three months ended March 31, 2006, cash and cash equivalents
increased $11.4 million. Cash provided by operating activities was $130.8
million. The primary sources of cash from operating activities include a
decrease in net receivable from customers and income before allocations to
partners adjusted for depreciation. These increases to cash and cash
equivalents were partially offset by an increase in net receivable from
brokers, dealers and clearing organizations and a decrease in accrued
compensation and employee benefits. Cash used in investing activities was
$14.1 million consisting primarily of capital expenditures supporting the
growth of the Partnership's operations. Cash used in financing activities
was $105.4 million, consisting primarily of partnership withdrawals and
distributions ($117.4 million) and redemption of partnership interests
($22.3 million) offset by issuance of subordinated limited partner interests
($34.5 million).

As a result of its activities as a broker-dealer, Edward Jones, 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 NYSE. Under the alternative method permitted by the rules, Edward
Jones must maintain minimum Net Capital, as defined, equal to the greater of
$0.250 million or 2% of aggregate debit items arising from customer
transactions. The Net Capital rules also provide 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 31, 2006, Edward Jones's Net Capital of $587.2 million
was 26.8% of aggregate debit items and its Net Capital in excess of the
minimum required was $543.4 million. Net Capital after anticipated
withdrawals, which are scheduled subordinated debt principal payments
through September 29, 2006, as a percentage of aggregate debit items was
24.7%. Net capital and the related capital percentage may fluctuate on a
daily basis.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Partnership's financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP,
which require judgment and involve estimation processes to determine its
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses which may affect its results of
operations.

The Partnership believes that of its significant accounting policies, the
following critical policies may involve a higher degree of judgment and
complexity.

Customers' transactions are recorded on a settlement date basis with the
related revenue and expenses recorded on a trade date basis. The Partnership
may be exposed to risk of loss in the event customers, other brokers and
dealers, banks, depositories or clearing organizations are unable to fulfill
contractual obligations. For transactions in which it extends credit to
customers, the Partnership seeks to control the risks associated with these
activities by requiring customers to maintain margin collateral in
compliance with various regulatory and internal guidelines.

Securities owned and sold, not yet purchased, including inventory securities
and investment securities, are valued at market value which is determined by
using quoted market or dealer prices.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations, continued


The Partnership provides for potential losses that may arise out of
litigation, regulatory proceedings and other contingencies to the extent
that such losses can be estimated, in accordance with SFAS No. 5,
"Accounting for Contingencies". The Partnership regularly monitors its
exposures for potential losses. The Partnership's total liability with
respect to litigation represents the best estimate of probable losses after
considering, among other factors, the progress of each case, the
Partnership's experience and discussions with legal counsel.

The Association's periodic evaluation of the adequacy of its allowance for
loan losses is based on 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.

The Partnership's periodic evaluation of the estimated useful lives of
equipment, property and improvements is based on the original life
determined at the time of purchase and any events or changes in
circumstances that would result in a change in the useful life.

For additional discussions of the Partnership's accounting policies, refer
to "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies" included in the Partnership's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

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

This report on Form 10-Q and, in particular, Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities
laws. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of the words
"believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "project," "will,"
"should," and other expressions which predict or indicate future events and
trends and which do not relate to historical matters. You should not rely on
forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond the control of the
Partnership. These risks, uncertainties and other factors may cause the
actual results, performance or achievements of the Partnership to be
materially different from the anticipated future results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

Some of the factors that might cause differences include, but are not
limited to, the following: (1) regulatory actions; (2) litigation, including
that involving mutual fund matters; (3) changes in legislation; (4) actions
of competitors; (5) changes in technology; (6) a fluctuation or decline in
the market value of securities; (7) rising interest rates; (8) securities
theft; (9) the ability of customers, other broker-dealers, banks,
depositories and clearing organizations to fulfill contractual obligations;
and (10) general economic conditions. These forward-looking statements were
based on information, plans and estimates at the date of this report, and we
do not undertake to update any forward-looking statements to reflect changes
in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, future events or
other changes.

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 Partnership'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.

The Partnership is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates.
Such changes in interest rates impact the income from interest earning
assets, primarily receivables from customers on margin balances, and may
have an impact on the expense from liabilities that finance these assets. At
March 31, 2006, amounts receivable from customers were $2.259 billion.
Liabilities include amounts payable to customers and other interest and
non-interest bearing liabilities.

Under current market conditions and based on current levels of interest
earning assets and the liabilities that finance these assets, the
Partnership estimates that a 100 basis point increase in short-term interest
rates could increase its annual net interest income by approximately $17.9
million. Conversely, the Partnership estimates that a 100 basis point
decrease in short-term interest rates could decrease the Partnership's
annual net interest income by up to $29.6 million. A decrease in short-term
interest rates has a more significant impact on net interest income because
under the current low interest rate environment, the Partnership's interest
bearing liabilities are less sensitive to changes in short-term interest
rates compared to its interest earning assets.

There were no material changes in the Partnership's exposure to market risk
and changes in interest rates during the three months ended March 31, 2006
that would have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial
position or results of operations of the Partnership.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Based upon an evaluation performed as of the end of the period covered by
this report, the Partnership's certifying officers, the Chief Executive
Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, have concluded that the
Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There have been no changes in the Partnership's last fiscal quarter that
have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Partnership's internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1.        LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The following information supplements the discussion in Part I, Item 3
"Legal Proceedings" in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2005:

Spahn IRA, et al v. Edward D. Jones & Co., L.P., et al. - After the
Partnership filed a Motion to Dismiss to the Amended and Consolidated
Complaint, the Court granted the Plaintiffs leave to file a Second Amended
Complaint which is currently due to be filed May 30, 2006.

Enriquez, et al v. Edward D. Jones & Co., L.P., et al. - On March 31, 2006,
the Court granted the Partnership's request to remove this case to Federal
Court based on the U.S. Supreme Court decision, Dabit. Plaintiffs filed a
Motion to Remand which has yet to be decided.

Bressler, et al v. Edward D. Jones & Co., L.P. - On March 31, 2006, the
Court granted the Partnership's request to remove this case to Federal Court
based on the U.S. Supreme Court decision, Dabit. Plaintiffs filed a Motion
to Remand which has yet to be decided.

The People of the State of California v. Edward D. Jones & Co., L.P., et al.
- The Court granted the Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings and allowed the
Attorney General to file an Amended Complaint. The Attorney General filed an
Amended Complaint to which the Partnership filed a Motion to Dismiss which
has yet to be decided.

Booher, et al. v. Edward D. Jones & Co., L.P., et al.- This case was filed
on March 31, 2006 in the United States District Court for the Central
District of California by a former Investment Representative as a putative
class action on behalf of all present and former Investment Representatives
in the State of California and, potentially, throughout the United States.
Although the lawsuit consists of seven separate causes of action, all of the
causes of action arise from claims that Edward Jones failed to comply with
California State Wage and Hour Laws and the Federal Fair Labor Standards
Act. Specifically, it is alleged that Edward Jones failed to pay overtime in
compliance with such laws, unlawfully deducted business expenses from the
wages of Investment Representatives, failed to fully compensate terminated
Investment Representatives and failed to provide mandatory meal and rest
periods in violation of California State Law.

Ellis v. Edward D. Jones & Co., L.P.- This case was filed on March 16, 2006
in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania
(Johnstown), by a former Investment Representative as a putative class
action on behalf of all present and former Pennsylvania Investment
Representatives. Although the lawsuit consists of three separate causes of
action, all the causes of action arise from claims that Edward Jones failed
to pay Pennsylvania Investment Representatives overtime in accordance with
Pennsylvania's Minimum Wage Act and the Pennsylvania Wage Payment Collection
Law.
