1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The interim financial information included herein is unaudited however, such information reflects all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the periods indicated.

The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Because of seasonal and other factors, the results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2000.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries which are: JWGenesis Financial, Inc. ("JWGFI"), JWGenesis Financial Services, Inc. ("JWGFS"), JWGenesis Securities, Inc. ("JWG Securities"), JWGenesis Capital Markets, Inc. ("JWG Markets"), JWGenesis Insurance Services, Inc. ("JWG Insurance"), DMG Securities, Inc.

("JWG Clearing") through June 1, 1999. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

3. CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved in various claims and possible actions arising out of the normal course of its business. Although the ultimate outcome of these claims cannot be ascertained at this time, it is the opinion of the Company, based on knowledge of facts and advice of counsel, that the resolution of such actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

4. NET CAPITAL

The broker-dealer subsidiaries of the Company are subject to the requirements of Rule 15c3-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

5. RECENT OR SUBSEQUENT DEVELOPMENTS
Merger Agreement with First Union

On August 31, 2000, the Company and First Union Corporation ("First Union") executed an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") setting forth the terms and conditions of a proposed merger of the Company into a newly formed subsidiary of First Union (the "Merger"). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company will survive as a wholly-owned subsidiary of First Union. The Company's Board of Directors has approved the Merger, and is recommending its approval to the Company's stockholders.

Under the terms for the Merger, each holder of the Company's common stock immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger would receive cash consideration of between $10 and $12 per share (the "Merger Consideration"). The specific amount of the Merger Consideration will be based on the percentage of aggregate trading commissions earned by the Company for the twelve months ended July 31, 2000 that were produced by registered representatives who were affiliated with the Company as of August 31, 2000, and who both sign independent contractor agreements with the Company for calendar year 2001 and actually continue as registered representatives of the Company on the Merger closing date. Using this formula, the Merger Consideration will be $10 per share, if the percentage is less than 90%; $11 per share, if the percentage is at least 90% but less than 95%; or $12 per share, if the percentage is 95% or more. Any registered representatives of the Company as of August 31, 2000 who become employees of First Union, or an affiliate of First Union, and remain as such as of the Merger closing date, will be treated as having met the conditions for purposes of determining the above percentage levels.

Consummation of the Merger is subject to various conditions, including the approval by majority vote of the Company's stockholders and the receipt of required regulatory approvals. Members of the Company's executive management and certain other stockholders who hold an aggregate of approximately 30% of JWGenesis' outstanding shares have agreed to vote their shares in favor of the Merger.

Special Dividend of Indirect Interest in MVP.com

On August 30, 2000, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a special dividend to shareholders consisting of units of membership interest ("Units") in JWG Liquidating Company LLC ("JWG/LLC"), which is a recently formed, special purpose limited liability company to which the Company transferred its entire interest in MVP.com, Inc. ("MVP.com") in exchange for all the Units of JWG/LLC. The Company is paying the special dividend of one Unit per share of common stock to its shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 10, 2000. The Units distributed as the special dividend will represent at least 75% of the total number of Units outstanding. The remaining Units received from JWG/LLC has been reserved by the Company for corporate purposes, and will either be used for such purposes or cancelled before the Merger. At November 10, 2000, the estimated fair market value of the Company's investment in MVP.com was $3,723,000.

Litigation Involving the Merger

In September and October 2000, R. R. Rothstein, Andy Johnson, Christopher L. Malley, GAF Financial Corporation, and William Maczko and Jane D. Maczko, holders of shares of our common stock, each filed a separate complaint in the Circuit Court of the 15^th Judicial District for Palm Beach County, Florida, against the Company and its directors, purporting to represent a class of all current holders of the Company's common stock, except for the defendants and their affiliates. Each complaint alleges that, in connection with the proposed Merger with First Union, the Company's directors breached their fiduciary duty to the shareholders of the Company by failing to accurately determine the value of the Company, by failing to obtain the highest price reasonably available to the Company's shareholders, and by agreeing to terms and conditions in the merger agreement with First Union that actively discourage the directors from exploring alternative offers for the acquisition of the Company and its assets other than from First Union; and the GAF Financial Corporation's and the Maczkos' complaints also allege that the Company's management directors breached their fiduciary duty by seeking improper personal benefit in connection with the proposed Merger. The complaints seek both preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent the consummation of the Merger; an order directing the Company's directors to adequately ensure that no conflict of interests exists between them and their fiduciary obligations to the Company; an order (should preliminary injunctive relief be unavailable) requiring the Company's directors to adopt a process or procedure to obtain the highest possible price for the Company's shareholders, rescission and award of rescissory damages if the Merger is consummated; and an award of attorney's fees and litigation costs. The Maczkos' complaint also seeks to impose a constructive trust, in favor of the plaintiffs, upon any benefits that are improperly received by the directors as a result of their wrongful actions.

Mr. Rothstein has subsequently dropped his complaint.

The Company does not believe these allegations have merit, and it is vigorously defending against them

6. SEGMENT ANALYSIS

The Company's reportable segments are: captive retail distribution, independently owned retail distribution, clearing and trading, capital markets and other. The captive retail distribution segment includes the 14 retail branches of JWG Securities located in Florida, California, Georgia and New York and the five retail branch offices of JWGFG located in Florida, Colorado, Illinois and California. These branches provide securities brokerage services including the sale of equities, mutual funds, fixed income products and insurance to their retail clients. The independently owned retail distribution segment includes the 135 JWGFS offices and one DMG office, all of which are located in the U.S., providing securities brokerage services including the sale of equities, mutual funds, fixed income products and insurance to their retail clients. The clearing and trading segment comprises primarily JWG Clearing's operations through June 1, 1999 which provided clearing services primarily on a fully disclosed basis to small broker dealers, the trading of equities and fixed income products as principal, and investments in firms including Knight Trading Group, Inc. and StrikeTechnologies LLC. The capital markets segment includes management and participation in underwritings (exclusive of sales credits, which are included in the distribution segments), mergers and acquisitions, public finance, institutional trading, institutional research and market making for institutional research. Other includes the unrealized loss on the Company's investment in MVP.com. Segment data includes charges allocating corporate overhead to each segment. Intersegment revenues and charges are eliminated between segments. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to them based on return on investment. The Company has not disclosed asset information by segment as the information is not produced internally. All long-lived assets are located in the U.S. The Company's business is predominantly in the U.S.

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

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AND GENERAL

From time to time, information provided by the Company or statements made by its directors, officers or employees may constitute "forward-looking statements" under the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements made in this Form 10-Q, including any statements incorporated herein by reference, that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements and other forward-looking statements made by the Company or its representatives are based upon a number of assumptions and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, and, accordingly, actual results could differ materially. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to, those set forth under the heading "Risk Factors" contained in the JWGenesis Financial Corp. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999 (the "1999 10-K").

As discussed in the

1999 10-K, on June 12, 1998, the Company acquired Genesis Merchant Group Securities, LLC ("Genesis") as part of the Combination with JWGFI described in the 1999 10-K, pursuant to which the Company succeeded to the respective businesses and operations of both JWGFI and Genesis. The results of all of Genesis' operations are reflected in the Company's results for the portion of the fiscal year 1999 period through March 3, 1999, on which date the Company divested Genesis in a transaction in which the Company nonetheless retained the corporate finance services operations that it had been conducting through Genesis, while divesting Genesis' brokerage processing services business unit. Management does not believe the effects of the divestiture are material to the Company's operations. However, the inclusion of Genesis' operations for all or a portion of the periods in 1998 and 1999, but not in 2000, does have some impact on the Company's data and this analysis. In the discussions below, historical references to JWG Capital (which is the new name for the Company's subsidiary that conducts the business retained in the divestiture of Genesis) include the divested operations of Genesis.

As also discussed in the 1999 10-K, on June 1, 1999, the Company sold JWG Clearing in a cash transaction for approximately $59 million, and ceased all securities clearing operations. The results of JWG Clearing's operations through May 31, 1999 are included in the Company's financial data for the nine-month period in 1999, but no such operations are part of the data for the nine-month period in 2000, which has a significant impact on the following data and analysis.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

	========	========	========	========	========

Total revenues of $22,965,000 recorded in the 2000 Period decreased by $5,953,000 or 21% compared to the previous year's $28,918,000. Included in the 2000 Period total revenues is an unrealized loss of $3,342,000 in the Company's investment in MVP.com, which reduced market making and principal transactions, net by the same amount. Excluding that unrealized loss, 2000 Period total revenues decreased 9% from the 1999 Period. The decrease in revenues can be attributed to the industry-wide pullback in market activity during the second and third quarters of 2000 as a result of the technology sector volatility, the decrease in trading volume and the decrease in overall market values in both the NASDAQ and listed markets.

Commission revenue earned in the 2000 Period decreased by $3,162,000 or 14% from the 1999 Period. The decrease in commission revenue is attributable to the same market conditions described above.

Market making and principal transactions, net for the 2000 Period decreased by $2,002,000 or 89% from the 1999 Period. The decrease is due to the unrealized loss of $3,342,000 relating to the Company's investment in MVP.com.

Interest income for the 2000 Period decreased by $603,000 or 39% from the 1999 Period. Interest income decreased in the 2000 Period due to the Company's repurchase of 1,750,000 shares of its common stock for $35 million in February 2000.

Commissions and clearing costs for the 2000 Period decreased by $831,000 or 5% from the 1999 Period. Commissions and clearing costs represent the portion of fee income payable by the Company to registered representatives or other broker-dealers as a result of securities transactions (and the related costs associated with the execution of such trades). After adjusting the 2000 Period market making and principal transaction revenue by the unrealized loss in the Company's MVP.com investment, the decrease in commission and market making and principal transaction revenues from the 1999 Period to the 2000 Period was 7%. The decrease in commissions and clearing costs coincides with the decrease in the total of commissions revenue and market making and principal transaction revenue above.

Total revenues of $111,640,000 recorded in the 2000 Period decreased by $25,327,000 or 18% from the 1999 Period. However, the gain on sale of subsidiary in the amount of $23,877,000 due to the sale of JWG Clearing on June 1, 1999, and the $13,180,000 in revenues from the operations of JWG Clearing for the five months prior to its sale, should be subtracted from the 1999 Period for purposes of a more meaningful comparison with the 2000 Period. Realized and unrealized gains relating to the Company's investment in Knight Trading Group, Inc. added $6,754,000 to the 1999 Period total revenue. In addition, included in commission revenue for the 1999 Period is $3,158,000 from operations by JWG Capital prior to it being divested on March 3, 1999. Subtracting the amounts noted above, which total $46,969,000, would reduce the total revenue for the 1999 Period to $89,998,000. On that basis, total revenue for the 2000 Period increased 24% from the 1999 Period, as adjusted. The increase in total revenues on that adjusted basis is primarily due to the increase in commission revenue as noted below.

Commission revenue for the 2000 Period increased by $14,241,000 or 19% from the 1999 Period. Included in the 1999 Period is $3,032,000 of commissions generated by JWG Capital prior to its divestiture as noted above. After adjusting the 1999 Period for that $3,032,000 amount, the change for the 2000 Period compared to the adjusted 1999 Period would be an increase in commission revenue of 24%. The increase on that adjusted basis is attributable to the industry-wide increase in market activity during the first three months of 2000, as a result of the record market trading volume, record share prices in both the NASDAQ and listed markets, as well as greatly increased market volatility.

Market making and principal transaction revenue for the 2000 Period decreased by $6,484,000 or 33% from the 1999 Period. Included in the 1999 Period total is $6,754,000 of realized and unrealized gains relating to the Company's investment in Knight Trading Group, Inc.; subtracting this amount from the 1999 Period adjusts the market making and principal transaction revenue amount to $12,949,000 for the 1999 Period. Included in the 2000 Period is $3,342,000 of unrealized losses relating to the Company's investment in MVP.com.; excluding this amount from the 2000 Period adjusts the market making and principal transaction revenue amount to $16,561,000 for the 2000 Period. Thus, the market making and principal transactions for the 2000 Period, as adjusted, increased by 28% from the 1999 Period, as adjusted. The increase on that adjusted basis is attributed to the industry-wide increase in market activity, record market trading volume, and record share prices in the NASDAQ and listed markets, as described above.

Interest income for the 2000 Period decreased by $4,951,000 or 58% from the 1999 Period. However, the 1999 Period contains $5,850,000 of interest income earned from the operations of JWG Clearing for five months prior to its sale on June 1, 1999. After adjusting the 1999 Period for that $5,850,000 amount, the interest income amount for the 1999 Period is $2,728,000. The increase of 33% for the 1999 Period, as adjusted, compared to the 2000 Period can be attributed to the interest earned on the cash received from the sale of JWG Clearing. The increase in other revenue from $5,849,000 in the 1999 Period to $6,920,000 in the 2000 Period is primarily due to investment banking revenues in the 2000 Period exceeding those in the 1999 Period and to an increase in the postage and handling fees charged on customer trades.

Commission and clearing costs increased by $10,509,000 or 18% from the 1999 Period to the 2000 Period. Adjusting market making and principal transactions revenue for the 2000 Period for the $3,342,000 unrealized loss in the Company's MVP.com investment, and adjusting market making and principal transaction revenue for the 1999 Period for the $3,032,000 of commissions generated by JWG Capital prior to its divestiture on March 3, 1999, commissions and clearing costs remained constant at 65% of the total of commissions and market making and principal transactions revenues, as adjusted.

Employee compensation and benefits costs decreased by $5,371,000 or 25% from the 1999 Period to the 2000 Period. The decrease reflects the result of $3,729,000 of bonuses recorded in the 1999 Period in connection with the sale of JWG Clearing, and reduced personnel levels in the 2000 Period attributable to the sale of JWG Clearing and the divestiture of JWG Capital during the 1999 Period.

Selling, general and administrative costs decreased by $4,853,000 or 22% from the 1999 Period to the 2000 Period. Interest expense decreased by $2,552,000 from the 1999 Period to the 2000 Period. Substantially all of the decreases in these costs are attributable to the sale of JWG Clearing and the divestiture of JWG Capital.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company maintains a highly liquid balance sheet with the majority of the Company's assets consisting of cash and cash equivalents; securities owned, which are marked to market; and receivables from brokers, dealers and clearing brokers arising from customer related securities transactions. The nature of the Company's business as a market maker and securities dealer requires it to carry significant levels of securities inventories in order to meet its customer and internal trading needs. Additionally, the Company's liquidity can fluctuate significantly depending largely upon general economic and market conditions, volume of activity, customer demand and underwriting commitments. The Company's ability to support increases in its total assets is a function of its ability to generate funds internally and obtain short-term borrowings from its clearing firm and committed lines of credit.

At September 30, 2000, the Company had stockholders' equity of $63,013,000, representing a decrease of $20,299,000 from December 31, 1999, and the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $34,722,000. The decrease in stockholders' equity is primarily related to the Company's repurchase of 1,750,000 shares of common stock for $35,000,000 during February 2000. That expenditure was offset against net income of $5,549,000 for the nine-month period and the additional proceeds from option exercises (including tax benefits from option exercises) and employee stock purchases plan purchases totaling $9,152,000.

At September 30, 2000, the Company had $12,000,000 of borrowing capacity available under its committed lines of credit described in the 1999 10-K.

On October 20, 2000, in preparation for a special dividend to its shareholders, the Company transferred to a newly formed, special purpose limited liability company, JWG Liquidating Company ("JWG/LLC"), all of the securities the Company had owned of MVP.com, Inc. These unregistered securities, which have a historical cost of approximately $3,000,000, are included in securities owned, at estimated fair value in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statements of Financial Condition as of September 30, 2000, at their estimated fair market value of $4,529,000. As of November 10, 2000, the estimated fair market value of the Company's investment in MVP.com was $3,723,000. In the absence of readily ascertainable market values, the investment in MVP.com, Inc. is valued using methods determined in good faith by the Company after consideration of all relevant information available to it, including private market values, original cost, operating results and financial position.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

In September and October 2000, R. R. Rothstein, Andy Johnson, Christopher L, Malley, GAF Financial Corporation, and William Maczko and Jane D. Maczko, holders of shares of our common stock, each filed a separate complaint in the Circuit Court of the 15^th Judicial District for Palm Beach County, Florida, against the Company and its directors, purporting to represent a class of all current holders of the Company's common stock, except for the defendants and their affiliates. Each complaint alleges that, in connection with the proposed Merger with First Union, the Company's directors breached their fiduciary duty to the shareholders of the Company by failing to accurately determine the value of the Company, by failing to obtain the highest price reasonably available to the Company's shareholders, and by agreeing to terms and conditions in the merger agreement with First Union that actively discourage the directors from exploring alternative offers for the acquisition of the Company and its assets other than from First Union; and the GAF Financial Corporation's and the Maczkos' complaints also allege that the Company's management directors breached their fiduciary duty by seeking improper personal benefit in connection with the proposed Merger. The complaints seek both preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent the consummation of the Merger; an order directing the Company's directors to adequately ensure that no conflict of interests exists between them and their fiduciary obligations to the Company; an order (should preliminary injunctive relief be unavailable) requiring the Company's directors to adopt a process or procedure to obtain the highest possible price for the Company's shareholders, rescission and award of rescissory damages if the Merger is consummated; and an award of attorney's fees and litigation costs. The Maczkos' complaint also seeks to impose a constructive trust, in favor of the plaintiffs, upon any benefits that are improperly received by the directors as a result of their wrongful actions.

Mr. Rothstein has subsequently dropped his complaint.

The Company does not believe these allegations have merit, and it is vigorously defending against them.
