                             THE JOHN NUVEEN COMPANY

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)
                                  JUNE 30, 2002

NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The John Nuveen
Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries ("the Company" or "Nuveen") and have
been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. These financial statements have also been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain
information and footnote disclosures have been omitted pursuant to such rules
and regulations. As a result, these financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes
included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K.

These financial statements rely, in part, on estimates. In the opinion of
management, all necessary adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
have been reflected for a fair presentation of the results of operations,
financial position and cash flows in the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements. The results for the period are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the entire year.


NOTE 2 EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

On August 9, 2001, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a 3-for-2 stock
split of its common stock to shareholders of record on September 20, 2001. On
May 9, 2002, the Company's Board of Directors declared another stock split - a
2-for-1 stock split to be effected as a dividend to shareholders of record as of
June 3, 2002. All references in the consolidated financial statements and notes
as to number of shares, per share amounts and market prices of the Company's
common stock have been restated to reflect the increased number of shares
outstanding.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net income and the weighted
average common shares used in the basic and diluted earnings per share
computations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and
June 30, 2001.

</TABLE>

Options to purchase 2,170,000 and 150,000 shares of the Company's common stock
were outstanding at June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, but were not included
in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options' respective
weighted average exercise prices of $29.45 and $18.91 per share were greater
than the average market price of the Company's common shares during the
applicable period.


NOTE 3 NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENT

Nuveen Investments, the Company's wholly owned broker/dealer subsidiary, is
subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c3-1, the "Uniform Net
Capital Rule," which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and
requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, as these terms
are defined, shall not exceed 15 to 1. At June 30 2002, Nuveen Investments' net
capital ratio was 1.37 to 1 and its net capital was $23,952,000, which is
$21,760,000 in excess of the required net capital of $2,192,000.


NOTE 4 ACQUISITION OF SYMPHONY ASSET MANAGEMENT

On July 16, 2001, Nuveen acquired Symphony Asset Management, LLC ("Symphony").
Symphony is an institutional investment manager based in San Francisco. The
aggregate purchase price was $208.3 million, of which approximately $4.5 million
was allocated to the net book value of assets acquired. Net book value consisted
primarily of cash, fee receivables and payables. The remaining purchase price
has been allocated to identifiable intangible assets and goodwill. Of the $45.8
million of acquired intangible assets, $43.8 million was assigned to existing
contractual customer relationships (19.7-year estimated useful life), $1.6
million to internally developed software (5-year estimated useful life), and the
remaining $0.4 million to a favorable lease (38-month useful life). For the
three months and six months ended June 30, 2002, the aggregate amortization
expense relating to amortizable intangible assets acquired in the Symphony
acquisition was approximately $0.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively. As
Symphony was not acquired until July 16, 2001, there was no amortization expense
relating to Symphony amortizable intangible assets for the three months and six
months ended June 30, 2001. The following table sets forth the gross carrying
amounts of the acquired amortizable intangible assets and their corresponding
accumulated amortization amounts as of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001:

The estimated aggregate annual amortization expense for each of the next five
years is approximately $2.7 million.

The transaction price will have potential additional future payments up to a
maximum of $180 million based on Symphony's reaching specified performance and
growth targets for its business. Any future payments will be recorded as
additional goodwill. There were no such payments for the year ended December 31,
2001 or during the six months ended June 30, 2002.

The following unaudited actual information for the three-month and six-month
periods ended June 30, 2002 and unaudited pro-forma information for the

NOTE 5 GOODWILL - ADOPTION OF SFAS NO. 142

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No.
142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill
and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but
instead that they be tested for impairment at least annually using a two-step
process. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 142, goodwill was amortized on a
straight-line basis over the estimated future periods to be benefited. Effective
January 1, 2002 (adoption date of SFAS No. 142), goodwill is no longer being
amortized, but is subject to the impairment rules of SFAS No. 142.

The first step of the SFAS No. 142 goodwill impairment test is to identify
potential impairment and, in the year of adoption, this step must be measured as
of the beginning of the fiscal year. A company has six months from the date of
adoption to complete the first step (in the case of Nuveen, June 30, 2002). The
second step of the goodwill impairment test (which only has to be performed if
the results from the first step of the goodwill impairment test indicate that
there is potential impairment) measures the amount of the impairment loss
(measured as of the beginning of the year of adoption), if any, and must be
completed by the end of a company's fiscal year.

We have completed the first step of the SFAS No. 142 goodwill impairment test
and our results indicate that, as of January 1, 2002, there is no indication of
potential impairment of goodwill.

In 2001 (prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 142), we incurred annual goodwill
amortization expense of approximately $8 million ($2.0 million and $4.0 million
before taxes, for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2001,
respectively). The following table presents what net income would have been for
the three months and six months ended June 30, 2001 as if the new accounting
rules effective January 1, 2002 (goodwill is no longer being amortized) were in
effect as of January 1, 2001. Adjusted per-share amounts are also presented.

NOTE 6 NOTES PAYABLE

On August 10, 2000, the Company entered into a $250 million revolving line of
credit with a group of banks that extends through August 2003. The committed
line is divided into two equal facilities, one of which has a three-year term,
the other is renewable in 364 days. Proceeds from borrowings under the facility
are used for fulfilling day to day cash requirements and general corporate
purchases including acquisitions, share repurchases and asset purchases. The
rate of interest payable under the agreement is, at the Company's option, a
function of one of various floating rate indices. The agreement requires the
Company to pay a facility fee at an annual rate of .095% of the committed amount
for the three-year facility and .08% of the committed amount for the 364-day
facility. The Company has the option to provide collateral to secure borrowings
under this line of credit. At June 30, 2002, there were two borrowings under
this committed line. The Company borrowed $125 million under the three-year
facility, and $58 million under the 364-day facility. For the six months ended
June 30, 2002, the weighted average interest rate on these two borrowings was
2.1% for both the 364-day facility and the three-year facility. Subsequent to
quarter-end, all of the outstanding debt on this revolving line of credit was
paid down and new borrowings were made under a new loan facility (see Note 8).

NOTE 7 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Included in Other Assets is a note receivable of approximately $2 million
relating to a loan made to one of Symphony's prior owners, Maestro LLC. The
members of Maestro LLC are also employees of Symphony. This uncollateralized,
interest-bearing loan is payable on or before December 31, 2006 and carries an
interest rate equal to the Applicable Federal Rate published by the Secretary of
the Treasury (as of July 2002, the applicable interest rate is 4.60% per annum).
Any contingent consideration payment from the Symphony acquisition (see Note 4)
may be used to satisfy this loan obligation.


NOTE 8 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 31, 2002, Nuveen entered into and drew down fully on a $250 million
revolving loan agreement with its majority shareholder, The St. Paul Companies,
Inc. ("St. Paul"). This loan facility expires on July 15, 2003 and carries a
floating interest rate of LIBOR plus a margin of up to 0.25%. A portion of the
proceeds from this $250 million loan was used to repay the existing outstanding
debt of $183 million.

On August 1, 2002, Nuveen completed the acquisition of NWQ Investment Management
("NWQ"). NWQ is an asset management firm based in Los Angeles, California with
approximately $7 billion of assets under management. NWQ specializes in
value-oriented equity investments with significant relationships among
institutions and financial advisors serving high net worth investors. As a
result of the acquisition, Nuveen expects to broaden and diversify its asset
base even further by adding a value-manager into its managed accounts business.
With the acquisition of NWQ, Nuveen will be able to offer a single source for
managed accounts that employ growth, value, and fixed-income strategies. Nuveen
will pay NWQ's current owner, Old Mutual (U.S.) Holdings, Inc. ("Old Mutual"),
cash in the amount of $140 million, which will include up to $20 million over 5
years that can be offset by fees paid to Old Mutual affiliates under a strategic
alliance agreement. A combination of existing available cash as well as a
portion of the proceeds from the new loan agreement with St. Paul was used to
fund the payment made at closing. Nuveen has engaged external valuation experts
to determine the appropriate purchase price allocation.

On August 8, 2002, Nuveen renewed its 364-day credit facility. The terms of the
facility fee and interest rate payable remain unchanged from that disclosed in
Note 6.

                                  JUNE 30, 2002



DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
---------------------------

Our principal businesses are asset management and related research as well as
the development, marketing, and distribution of investment products and services
for the affluent, high-net-worth and the institutional market segments. We
distribute our investment products and services, including mutual funds,
exchange-traded funds, and individually managed accounts, to the affluent and
high-net-worth market segments through unaffiliated intermediary firms including
broker/dealers, commercial banks, affiliates of insurance providers, financial
planners, accountants, consultants and investment advisors. We also provide
investment products to institutional markets.

The financial advisors we support serve affluent and high-net-worth investors.
We provide consultative services to these financial advisors with a primary
focus on managed assets for fee-based customers and structured investment
services for transaction-based advisors.

Our primary business activities generate three principal sources of revenue: (1)
ongoing advisory fees earned on assets under management, including mutual funds,
exchange-traded funds, and separately managed accounts, (2) distribution
revenues earned upon the sale of certain investment products and (3) incentive
fees earned on certain institutional accounts based on the performance of such
accounts.

Sales of our products, and their profitability, are directly affected by many
variables, including investor preferences for equity, fixed-income or other
investments, the availability and attractiveness of competing products, market
performance, continued access to distribution channels, changes in interest
rates, inflation, and income tax rates and laws.

RECENT EVENTS
-------------

The following events are relevant to the understanding of our second quarter
2002 results:

On July 16, 2001, we completed the acquisition of Symphony Asset Management LLC
("Symphony") for $208 million in cash. These funds were provided through a
combination of cash on hand and borrowings under our committed credit
facilities. Symphony, an institutional investment manager based in San
Francisco, manages portfolios designed to reduce risk through market-neutral and
other alternative-investment strategies in several equity and fixed-income asset
classes. Symphony's business generates two principal sources of revenue: (1)
ongoing advisory fees based on assets under management, and (2) incentive fees
earned on certain institutional accounts based on performance of the accounts.

On August 9, 2001, we announced a 3-for-2 stock split of our common stock. The
stock split was effected as a dividend to shareholders of record as of September
20, 2001. Shareholders received one additional share of Nuveen common stock for
every two shares that they owned as of the record date. On May 9, 2002, we
announced a 2-for-1 split of our commons stock. The stock split was effected as
a dividend to shareholders of record as of June 3, 2002. For comparability,
prior period share information has been restated for both stock splits.


                                       12


<PAGE>


The Board of Directors for each of the Nuveen Money Market Funds decided to
close all of the Funds effective August 24, 2001. Due to shrinking demand from
investors who increasingly use brokerage sweep accounts for their cash
management needs, the Funds did not maintain a self-sustaining level of assets.

In early 2002, we announced our intention to stop depositing continuously
offered equity and fixed-income defined portfolio products. As anticipated, this
scale-back plan was completed by the end of the first quarter of 2002.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
-----------------

On August 1, 2002 we finalized the acquisition of NWQ Investment Management
("NWQ"), an asset management firm based in Los Angeles with approximately $7
billion of assets under management. NWQ specializes in value-oriented equity
investments with significant relationships among institutions and financial
advisors serving high net worth investors. Cash payments of $140 million will be
paid to Old Mutual (U.S.) Holdings, Inc., which includes up to $20 million to be
paid over the next five years under the terms of a strategic alliance agreement.
Retention programs have been put in place, including an equity-based program
designed to enable key management to participate in NWQ's future earnings
growth.

 (1)  At period end.

 (2)  Excludes defined portfolio assets under surveillance.

 (3)  The prior period has been adjusted to reflect the 3-for-2 stock split
      that occurred in September of 2001 and the 2-for-1 split that occurred
      in June of 2002.

Gross sales for the quarter were $3.3 billion, up 2% versus the prior year. Our
fixed-income sales continued to be strong across all product lines. Overall,
fixed income sales were $2.4 billion, up 86%


                                       13


<PAGE>



versus the prior year. This increase was driven by our exchange-traded funds as
we raised more than $1.4 billion in new closed-end funds assets. This included
approximately $500 million from leveraging several new closed-end funds we
introduced in the first quarter of 2002 and approximately $900 million through
the initial offering of the Nuveen Quality Preferred Income Fund. Strong
interest in fixed-income products also helped drive the increase in mutual fund
sales and fixed income managed account sales, which were $371 million and $625
million for the quarter, respectively, up 28% and 79% versus the prior year.
These strong fixed-income sales were offset by a decline in equity sales as a
result of the downturn in the equity markets. Defined portfolio product sales
declined as a result of our decision in the first quarter of 2002 to discontinue
this product line.

Net flows (equal to the sum of sales, reinvestments and exchanges less
redemptions) totaled $0.6 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 with
positive flows from fixed-income products accounting for $2.0 billion.
Offsetting these strong flows, our equity mutual funds and managed accounts
experienced net outflows of $0.8 billion for the quarter as a result of weakened
equity market conditions. Additionally, our alternative investment products also
experienced net outflows for the second quarter as we exited certain non-hedge
fund advisory mandates.

Total assets under management at the end of the second quarter of 2002 were
$68.5 billion. This is an increase in of $5.5 billion or 9% versus the $63.0
billion in assets at the end of the second quarter 2001. This increase in assets
under management was driven by the inclusion of Symphony assets ($4 billion) and
as a result of net flows into funds and accounts.

Operating revenues for the quarter totaled $90.3 million, an increase of 5% over
the $86.2 million in operating revenues recorded in the second quarter of 2001.
This increase was driven by a 9% increase in advisory fees as a result of an
increase in average assets under management, mainly in our fixed income
businesses, and the inclusion of Symphony advisory fees.

Operating expenses for the quarter declined 1% when compared with the prior
year. Excluding the impact of Symphony, operating expenses declined 8%, mainly
as a result of decreased goodwill amortization expense (due to new accounting
rules effective 2002). However, even after considering the impact of both
Symphony and the new accounting rules effective in 2002, total operating
expenses for the quarter were down 3% compared with the prior year.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------

The following discussion and analysis contains important information that should
be helpful in evaluating our results of operations and financial condition, and
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
related notes.

Total advisory fee income earned during any period is directly related to the
market value of the assets we manage. Advisory fee income will increase with a
rise in the level of assets under management. Assets under management rise with
the sale of fund shares, the addition of new managed accounts or deposits into
existing managed accounts, the acquisition of assets under management from other
advisory companies, or through increases in the value of portfolio investments.
Assets under management may also increase as a result of reinvestment of
distributions from funds and accounts, and from reinvestment of distributions
from defined portfolio products we sponsor into shares of mutual funds. Fee
income will decline when managed assets decline, as would occur when the values

Distribution revenue is earned as defined portfolio and mutual fund products are
sold to the public through financial advisors. Correspondingly, distribution
revenue will rise and fall with the level of our sales of these products, and
has been impacted by our decision to discontinue the defined portfolio product
line in 2002.

Gross sales of investment products decreased 5% for the six-month period ended
June 30, 2002 when compared with the same period in 2001, due to our exit of the
defined portfolio business. Excluding the impact of our exit of the defined
portfolio business, we grew our sales 4%. Sales of our 2002 ETF offerings
combined with the leveraging of the November 2001 offerings totaled $2.6
billion, up 48% versus the prior year. Retail managed account sales were down
19% from a year ago, reflecting volatility and general weakened equity market
conditions. Defined portfolio sales declined 76% as a result of our decision at
the beginning of 2002 to discontinue our defined portfolio product line.

Assets under management grew 9% to $68.5 billion, an increase of $5.5 billion
from the end of June 2001. Symphony assets accounted for approximately $4.0
billion of the increase, while strong net flows, mainly on our fixed-income
products more than offset equity market declines and a reduction in assets due
to the closing of the money market funds. Assets under management were flat
versus

December 31, 2001 as net flows into funds and accounts of $2.3 billion
and appreciation on our fixed income assets were offset by equity market
depreciation or $3.0 billion.

Advisory fees for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, increased 8% over
the same period in 2001. Symphony accounted for 5% of the increase, while
exchange-traded funds and other fixed-income products drove the remainder. These
increases were partially offset by a decline in fees as a result of the closing
of the money market funds in the third quarter of 2001.

Total underwriting and distribution revenue for the first half of 2002 declined
$2.7 million when compared with the first half in 2001 due to a decline in
distribution revenue on defined portfolios as a result of the discontinuation of
this business. Additionally, mutual fund distribution revenue declined as a
result of a decline in equity product sales. Partially offsetting these declines
is an increase in underwriting fees on our exchange-traded fund offerings.

OTHER OPERATING REVENUE

Other operating revenue consists of various fees earned in connection with
services provided on behalf of our defined portfolio assets under surveillance
and incentive fees earned on institutional assets managed by Symphony. The
increase in other operating revenue for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002
is due to the inclusion of Symphony incentive fees.

POSITIONING PROFITS/(LOSSES)

We record positioning profits or losses from changes in the market value of the
inventory of unsold investment products and other securities held by our
broker/dealer subsidiary, Nuveen Investments. We recorded net positioning losses
of $0.1 million in the first half of 2002, compared to gains of $0.2 million in
the first half of 2001.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Operating expenses increased $1.7 million during the first half of 2002 compared
to the first half of 2001. This increase is primarily due to the inclusion of
Symphony operating expenses. Excluding Symphony, operating expenses declined
$4.4 million (5%), driven mainly by a $4.0 million reduction in goodwill
amortization expense as a result of new accounting rules effective January 1,
2002.

Compensation and related benefits for the first half of 2002 increased $1.7
million compared to the first half in the prior year, primarily as a result of
the inclusion of Symphony. Excluding the impact of Symphony, compensation
expense was down slightly to the prior year as salary increases were more than
offset by headcount reductions. The reduction in headcount is related to the
discontinuation of the defined portfolio business.


                                       17


<PAGE>


Advertising and promotional expenditures decreased $1.5 million for the first
half of 2002 compared to the first half of 2001. This decrease is due to a
reduction in spending behind our defined portfolio business.

All other operating expenses, including occupancy and equipment costs, travel
and entertainment and other, increased $4.2 million during the first half of
2002 compared to the first quarter of 2001. The inclusion of Symphony expenses
drove $2.6 million of the increase with the remainder mainly driven by increased
severance due to the exit of our defined portfolio business and fund
organization costs related to our exchange-traded fund offerings.

NON-OPERATING INCOME/(EXPENSE)

Non-operating income/(expense) is comprised primarily of net interest
income/(expense) and other miscellaneous non-operating revenue/(expense).

Net interest income was down $3.1 million in the first half of 2002 compared to
the first half of 2001. This decline was partially caused by a decrease in
interest income resulting from the use of cash on hand for the Symphony
acquisition, and partially because of an increase in interest expense as a
result of the debt incurred in connection with the Symphony acquisition. This
decline in net interest income was partially offset by a decrease in interest
expense on deferred compensation, and partially because of non-recurring
miscellaneous income recorded as a result of our exit from the defined portfolio
business.

CAPITAL RESOURCES, LIQUIDITY
AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
-----------------------

Our principal businesses are not capital intensive and, historically, we have
met our liquidity requirements through cash flow generated by operations. In
addition, our broker/dealer subsidiary occasionally utilizes available,
uncommitted lines of credit, which approximate $200 million, to satisfy
periodic, short-term liquidity needs. As of June 30, 2002, no borrowings were
outstanding on these uncommitted lines of credit. In August 2000, we entered
into a $250 million committed line of credit with a group of banks to ensure an
ongoing liquidity source for general corporate purposes including acquisitions.
The new committed line is divided into two equal facilities, one of which has a
three-year term, the other is renewable in 364 days. As of June 30, 2002, the
outstanding balance under this committed credit line was $183 million. The
proceeds from these facilities were used in part to fund the Symphony
acquisition. On August 8, 2002, Nuveen renewed its 364-day credit facility. The
terms of the facility fee and interest rate payable remain unchanged from the
previous agreement.

Subsequent to quarter-end, Nuveen entered into and drew down fully on a $250
million revolving loan agreement with its majority shareholder, The St. Paul
Companies, Inc. ("St. Paul"). This loan facility expires on July 15, 2003 and
carries a floating interest rate of LIBOR plus a margin of up to 0.25%. A
portion of the proceeds from this $250 million loan was used to repay the
existing outstanding debt of $183 million, with the remainder used to fund the
NWQ acquisition.

Options to purchase 395,142 shares of Rittenhouse non-voting Class B common
stock were exercised on March 28, 2002 under the Rittenhouse Financial Services,
Inc. 1997 Equity Incentive Award Plan. Rittenhouse accounted for these options
in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees." As a result of this exercise, the Company has recorded $40.5 million
of minority interest on its consolidated balance sheet. The minority interest
will remain in place as long as the stock is outstanding. In the event that the
stock is repurchased, any purchase price in excess of the exercise price will be
added to goodwill associated with the Company's acquisition of Rittenhouse.


                                       18


<PAGE>


At June 30, 2002, we held in treasury 26,451,796 shares of Class A common stock
acquired in open market transactions. As part of an ongoing repurchase program,
we are authorized to purchase approximately 1.0 million additional shares.
During the second quarter of 2002, the Company repurchased 1,692,100 Class A
common stock shares in open market transactions.

During the first half of 2002, we paid out dividends on common shares totaling
$22.7 million and on preferred shares totaling $0.1 million.

Our broker/dealer subsidiary is subject to requirements of the Securities and
Exchange Commission relating to liquidity and capital standards. (See Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Management believes that cash provided from operations and borrowings available
under its uncommitted and committed credit facilities will provide us with
sufficient liquidity to meet our operating needs for the foreseeable future.

INFLATION

Our assets are, to a large extent, liquid in nature and therefore not
significantly affected by inflation. However, inflation may result in increases
in our expenses, such as employee compensation, advertising and promotional
costs, and office occupancy costs. To the extent inflation, or the expectation
thereof, results in rising interest rates or has other adverse effects upon the
securities markets and on the value of financial instruments, it may adversely
affect our financial condition and results of operations. A substantial decline
in the value of fixed-income or equity investments could adversely affect the
net asset value of funds we manage, which in turn would result in a decline in
investment advisory fee revenue.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

From time to time, information we provide or information included in our filings
with the SEC (including this report on Form 10-Q) may contain statements that
are not historical facts but are forward-looking statements reflecting
management's expectations and opinions. Our actual future results may differ
significantly from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements due to
numerous factors. These include, but are not limited to, the effects of the
substantial competition that we, like all market participants, face in the
investment management business, including competition for continued access to
the brokerage firms' retail distribution systems, our reliance on revenues from
investment management contracts which are renewed annually according to their
terms, reductions in assets under management because of market declines and
redemptions, burdensome regulatory developments, recent accounting
pronouncements, and unforeseen developments in litigation. We undertake no
responsibility to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements.

       ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

                                  JUNE 30, 2002

In addition to the various risks previously discussed in this report, we are
exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates, which may adversely
affect our results of operations and financial condition. In the past, we were
exposed to this risk primarily in our fixed-income defined portfolio inventory
and, at times, sought to minimize the risks from these interest rate
fluctuations through the use of derivative financial instruments. As a result of
our decision to discontinue our defined portfolio product line, we no longer
regularly purchase and hold for resale municipal securities and defined
portfolio units. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to utilize futures
contracts to minimize risk. Correspondingly, there were no open derivative
financial instruments at June 30, 2002.

We invest in short-term debt instruments, classified as "Cash and cash
equivalents" on our consolidated balance sheet. The investments are treated as
collateralized financing transactions and are carried at the amounts at which
they will be subsequently resold, including accrued interest. We also invest in
certain Company-sponsored equity, senior-loan and fixed-income mutual funds.

We do not believe that the effect of any reasonably likely near-term changes in
interest rates would be material to our financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION



ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

          As previously reported most recently in the Form 10-K for December 31,
          2001, a lawsuit (Civil Action No. 97 C 5255) brought in June, 1996 by
          certain shareholders is currently pending in federal district court
          for the Northern District of Illinois against Nuveen Advisory. The
          suit was originally brought against John Nuveen & Co. Incorporated,
          Nuveen Advisory, six Nuveen investment companies (the "Funds") managed
          by Nuveen Advisory and two of the Funds' former directors seeking
          unspecified damages, an injunction and other relief. The suit also
          sought certification of a defendant class consisting of all
          Nuveen-managed leveraged funds.

          The complaint was filed on behalf of a purported class of present and
          former shareholders of all Nuveen leveraged investment companies,
          including the Funds, which allegedly engaged in certain practices that
          Plaintiffs allege violated provisions of the Investment Company Act of
          1940 and common law. Plaintiffs alleged, among other things, breaches
          of fiduciary duty and various misrepresentations and omissions in
          disclosures in connection with the use and maintenance of leverage
          through the issuance and periodic auctioning of preferred stock and
          the payment of management and brokerage fees to Nuveen Advisory and
          John Nuveen & Co. A similar complaint was filed by the Plaintiffs at
          the same time against another major leveraged-fund sponsor and
          adviser. The Plaintiffs filed a motion to certify a plaintiff class
          (which would include current and former shareholders of all Nuveen
          leveraged closed-end funds).

          On March 30, 1999, the court entered a memorandum opinion and order
          (1) granting the Defendants' motion to dismiss all of Plaintiffs'
          counts against the defendants other than Nuveen Advisory, (2) granting
          Nuveen Advisory's motion to dismiss all of Plaintiffs' counts against
          it other than breach of fiduciary duty under Section 36(b) of the
          Investment Company Act of 1940, and (3) denying the Plaintiffs' motion
          to certify a plaintiff class and a defendant class. No appeal was made
          by Plaintiffs of this decision, and the remaining Section 36(b) count
          against Nuveen Advisory has proceeded through the discovery phase.

          As to alleged damages, Plaintiffs claimed as damages the portion of
          all advisory compensation received by Nuveen Advisory from the Funds
          during the period from June 21, 1995 to the present that is equal to
          the proportion of each Fund's preferred stock to its total assets. The
          preferred stock constitutes approximately one third of the Funds'
          assets so the amount claimed would equal approximately one third of
          management fees received by Nuveen Advisory for managing the Funds
          during this period, or more than $60 million. Nuveen Advisory believes
          that it has no liability and that Plaintiffs have suffered no damages
          and filed a motion for summary judgement as to both liability and
          damages. Plaintiffs filed a motion for partial summary judgement as to
          liability only. In a memorandum opinion dated September 6, 2001, the
          court granted Nuveen Advisory's motion for summary judgement, thereby
          terminating the litigation before the court. Plaintiffs appealed this
          decision on October 8, 2001.

          In an opinion dated July 8, 2002, the United States Court of Appeals
          for the Seventh Circuit affirmed the opinion of the district court
          dismissing Plaintiffs' lawsuit. Any petition by Plaintiff, for a writ
          of certiori to the United States Supreme Court seeking to appeal the
          7th Circuit opinion would need to be filed within 90 days of the
          issuance of such opinion.
