                         Report of Independent Auditors

To the Participants and Administrative Committee of
The Advest Thrift Plan

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets available for plan
benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for
plan benefits of The Advest Thrift Plan (the "Plan") at December 31, 2002 and
2001, and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the year
ended December 31, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. 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. We conducted our
audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America, which 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,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As discussed in Note 8, effective December 31, 2002, the Lebenthal & Co., Inc.
Profit Sharing Plan merged with the Plan.

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
at end of year) 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
supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. This
supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                                     -------

1.  Plan Description

General

The following description of The Advest Thrift Plan (the "Plan") provides only
general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more
complete description of the Plan's provisions.

The Plan is a defined contribution plan established October 1, 1988 by The
Advest Group, Inc. to provide retirement benefits to qualified participants. The
Plan was most recently amended May 28, 2003, retroactively effective November 1,
2002.

On January 31, 2001, The Advest Group, Inc. was acquired by The MONY Group Inc.
As used in these Notes, unless the context otherwise requires, the "Company"
refers to The Advest Group, Inc. as it existed prior to the merger and to the
successor entity subsequent to the merger. The Plan is administered by an
Administrative Committee (the "Committee") appointed by the Company's Board of
Directors and is subject to the provisions of ERISA.

The Plan covers all employees of the Company and its affiliates that are
scheduled to work at least 20 hours per week and who are not classified as
"temporary employees" as defined in the Plan agreement. These employees become
eligible to participate as of the first day of the month following their
employment. These employees become eligible to receive employer contributions
after one year of service. Employees that are scheduled to work less than 20
hours per week or who are classified as "temporary employees" as defined in the
Plan agreement will participate and receive employer contributions only after
they have completed 1000 hours of service during their initial twelve months of
employment or during any subsequent calendar year.

Contributions

The Plan provides for both employer and voluntary employee contributions.
Effective November 1, 2002, participants may contribute to the Plan an amount of
not more than 25 percent of their annual compensation, to a maximum of $11,000
in the aggregate for 2002, on a pre-tax basis. Prior to November 1, 2002,
participants could contribute to the Plan not less than $20 per month nor more
than 15 percent of their annual compensation, up to the maximum aggregate amount
for 2002. Participants direct the investment of their contributions into various
investment options offered by the Plan. During 2002 the Plan offered
certificates of deposit, various mutual funds, U.S. government securities and
common stock of The MONY Group, Inc. ("Parent Stock") as investment options for
participants. Participant contributions are recorded in the period during which
the Company makes payroll deductions from the participant's earnings.

Employer contribution percentages are determined by the Company's Board of
Directors and are subject to the guidelines set forth in the Plan. Employer
contributions to participants' accounts are allocated among participants in
accordance with one of several formulas (based generally on each participant's
compensation level and/or voluntary contribution) contained in the Plan.
Employer contributions, if any, are recorded monthly. For the plan year ended
December 31, 2002, the Company made a discretionary contribution of one and
one-half percent of each participant's eligible income, and matched employee
contributions dollar for dollar up to two percent of each participant's eligible
income up to the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") maximum eligible income limit.
The Company's total contribution for the plan year ended December 31, 2002 was
$3,869,391, which is net of forfeitures of $160,617.

                             The Advest Thrift Plan

                   Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

Investment Options

The Plan permits participating employees to direct the investment of funds in
their accounts among various investment options, as described in the Plan.
Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate,
market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain
investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the
values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such
changes could materially affect participants' account balances and the amounts
reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits.

Participants may change their investment options monthly, or more frequently as
permitted by the Plan Administrator. Investments in the Parent's Stock in
accounts may be changed on a daily basis.

Loans to Participants

The Plan allows participants to borrow from their 401(k) accounts subject to
approval by the Committee. Each loan for a participant must satisfy the
following conditions: (1) together with other outstanding loans, it cannot
exceed $50,000, reduced by the amount by which the participant's highest loan
balance over the past 12 months exceeds the participant's current loan balance;
(2) together with other outstanding loans, it cannot exceed 50 percent of the
participant's vested Plan account value; (3) it must be for at least $500 and
generate monthly repayments of at least $20; and (4) no more than two loans may
be outstanding for any participant at any time. Loans must be repaid by the
participants within five years. The repayment period on loans used for purchase
of a primary residence may be extended for an additional five years. Interest is
charged at the prime rate according to the Wall Street Journal at the date of
loan (4.75% to 10.50% on outstanding loan balances during the year ended
December 31, 2002).

Allocation of Investment Income (Loss)

Each participant's Plan account is credited with investment income or loss based
upon the performance of the respective participant-directed investments.

Allocation of Forfeitures

Forfeitures of the Company's contributions to Plan accounts by participants that
terminate employment prior to being fully vested are used to reduce the
Company's total contribution to 401(k) accounts for the current year.

Vesting

Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus actual earnings
thereon. Vesting in the Company's match and discretionary contribution portion
of their accounts plus actual earnings thereon is based on years of continuous
service. A participant becomes 25 percent vested after two years of service, as
defined, and in increments of 25 percent per year of service thereafter, and
will be 100 percent vested after five years of service. However, if an active
participant dies prior to attaining the normal retirement age, attains age 65,
or becomes disabled, the participant's account becomes 100 percent vested
provided that they are employed by the Company at that time.

Withdrawals

Participants that are less than age 70 and one-half and remain employed by the
Company may elect to withdraw all or a portion of their vested 401(k) account
balance only under a condition of hardship.

Prior to January 1, 2001, each participant's interest in the Plan consisted of a
401(k) account and an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") account.
Participants that are age 55 may elect to withdraw

                                       5



                             The Advest Thrift Plan

                    Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

up to 50 percent of their ESOP account balance as of December 31, 2000, reduced
by the amount of any prior distributions.

Benefit Payments

Distributions of participants' vested Plan balance generally are paid within 120
days after the participant ceases to be an employee by reason of retirement
(normal retirement is upon attaining the age of 65), death, disability or
termination. The participant has the option of receiving a lump sum or
installments for amounts contributed to their account through September 30,
1989. Contributions made after September 30, 1989, and earnings thereon will be
distributed in a lump sum. Participants may choose to receive benefits from
their Plan account in cash or in-kind. Benefit payments are recorded when paid.
The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be
provided from the participant's vested account.

Plan Expenses

The Plan is responsible for payment of the trustee expenses and fees; however,
the Company may pay the Plan expenses directly. Transaction charges (for loan
and benefit payment transactions) are paid by the Plan by reducing the balances
of those participants initiating the transactions.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of net assets and changes therein. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

The investments are stated at fair value, generally based upon quoted market
prices where available, and for the certificates of deposit, at principal plus
accrued interest. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade date
basis. Interest and dividend income are recorded on the accrual basis. The Plan
presents in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits
the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of its investments which
consists of the realized gains (losses) and the unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) on those investments.

Net appreciation (depreciation) for the year ended December 31, 2002, by
investment category is as follows:

                                                   ============
Distribution Payable

Amounts allocated to participants who have withdrawn from the Plan as of
year-end, but for which disbursement of those funds has not been made by
year-end, are not recognized as liabilities in the Statements of Net Assets
Available for Plan Benefits.

                    Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

3. Transactions with Related Parties

The Plan engages in activities with various affiliates of the Company. The
common stock of The MONY Group, Inc. and shares of the Boston Advisors Money
Market Funds (for which affiliates of the Company act as investment advisor and
distributor) were among the investment options available during the plan years
ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. Participant loans also qualify as
party-in-interest transactions. In addition, personnel and facilities of the
Company have been used to perform administrative functions for the Plan at no
charge to the Plan.

4. Concentration of Investments

The following are investments that represent 5 percent or more of net assets
available for plan benefits as of December 31, 2002 and 2001:

** These investments represented less than 5% of net assets available for plan
benefits in this year.

The cash balance at December 31, 2002 is the result of investments which were
liquidated as a result of the transfer of recordkeeper and was subsequently used
to purchase shares of the new investment options.

5. Plan Termination

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right
under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the
Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of plan termination,
participants will become 100 percent vested in their accounts.

                    Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

6. Tax Status

The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company, by letter
dated March 27, 2003, that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance
with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"). The Plan has been
amended subsequent to the request for that letter. The Company and legal counsel
are of the opinion that the Plan, as amended, is currently being operated in
compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. Therefore, no provision
for income taxes has been included in the Plan's financial statements.

In order to facilitate the continued tax-qualified status of the Plan,
nondiscrimination testing in accordance with the IRC was completed by the plan
administrator for the 2001 plan year. Nondiscrimination testing has not yet been
completed for the 2002 plan year. Management is in the process of performing the
testing and intends to take the appropriate steps to facilitate the continued
tax qualified status of the Plan.

7. Reconciliation of Plan Financial Statements to the Form 5500

Certain balances included on Schedule H (Part I and II) of the Annual
Return/Report of Employee Benefit Plan (the "Form 5500") have been reclassified
for purposes of presentation in these financial statements to provide additional
disclosure.

8. Plan Merger

During 2001, the Company purchased Lebenthal & Co., Inc. Effective December 31,
2002, Lebenthal & Co., Inc. Profit Sharing Plan was merged with and into the
Plan. With the merger, effected participants became eligible to participate in
the Plan subject to the provisions of the plan agreement.

9. Subsequent Events

Effective January 1, 2003, Prudential Insurance Company of America replaced ATR
as recordkeeper of the Plan and Prudential Trust Services succeeded Advest, Inc.
as trustee of the Plan. Effective with the changes, assets invested with Advest,
Inc. were liquidated and reinvested with Prudential Trust Services.

Effective January 1, 2003, a self-directed brokerage account was added as an
investment option. With this option, the participant can choose from a wide
range of individual equities, selected fixed income vehicles and additional
mutual fund choices.

Effective January 1, 2003, participants who attain age 59-1/2 may elect to
withdraw all or part of their vested Plan balance. Participants that are less
than age 59-1/2 and remain employed by the Company may elect to withdraw all or
a portion of their vested Plan account balance only under a condition of
hardship except that participants that are age 55 may elect to withdraw up to 50
percent of the balance in their ESOP account as of December 31, 2000, reduced by
the amount of any prior distributions.
