<B><P>INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT</P>
</B><P>To the Administrative Committee and Trustees of<BR>
Stifel, Nicolaus Profit Sharing 401(k) Plan<BR>
St. Louis, Missouri:</P>
<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Stifel, Nicolaus Profit Sharing 401(k) Plan (the "Plan") as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related statement of changes in net assets available
for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.</P>
<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.</P>
<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year
ended December 31, 2000 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. </P>
<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets held for investment purposes as of December 31, 2000 is presented for the purpose
of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974. This schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. Such supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 2000 financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all
material respects when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.</P>
<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">As discussed in Note 7 to the financial statements, effective January 12, 2000, the assets of the Hanifen, Imhoff Inc. Profit Sharing Plan and Trust were merged with the Stifel, Nicolaus Profit Sharing 401(k) Plan. </P>
