REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS To the Participants and Administrator of The Advest Thrift Plan: In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan benefits and the related statements 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 2000, and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the year ended December 31, 2001 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. Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets (held at end of year) and reportable transactions are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are 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. These supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Plan Description General The following description of The Advest Thrift Plan (the "Plan") provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document 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., the Plan Administrator, Sponsor and Trustee, to provide retirement benefits to qualified participants. The Plan was most recently amended February 15, 2002, retroactively effective January 1, 2001. Among other changes, that amendment eliminated the provisions applicable to ESOP's. 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". These employees become participants 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" will participate and receive employer contributions only after they have completed 1000 hours of service during their initial 12-months of employment or any subsequent calendar year. On January 31, 2001, The Advest Group, Inc. was acquired by The MONY Group Inc. in a subsidiary merger transaction. 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 the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). Participant Accounts Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution and allocation of the Company's contribution and Plan earnings. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's vested account. Contributions The Plan provides for both employer and voluntary employee contributions. Eligible employees may authorize regular payroll contributions to their account of not more than 15 percent of their annual compensation, to a maximum of $10,500 in the aggregate for 2001, on a pre-tax basis. Participants direct the investment of their contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. The Plan currently offers certificates of deposit, various mutual funds including a money market fund, U.S. Government Securities and Common Stock of The MONY Group, Inc. ("Parent Stock") as investment options for participants. Employee contributions are recorded in the period during which the Company makes payroll deductions from the participant's earnings. Employer contributions 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, 2001, the Company contributed one and one-half percent of each participant's eligible income and matched up to two percent of each participant's 4 The Advest Thrift Plan Notes To Financial Statements (Continued) eligible income up to the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") maximum eligible income of $160,000. In addition, on February 1, 2001 the Company made additional contributions of 20 shares of Parent Stock on behalf of each active participant employed on November 30, 2000. This is deemed a contribution for the 2001 Plan year. The Company's total contribution for the plan year ended December 31, 2001 was $4,762,721, net of forfeitures of $371,971. 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. Participant aggregate purchases of the Parent's Stock in accounts cannot exceed 25 percent of the participant's account value at the time of purchase. 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 401(k) account value; (3) it must be for at least $500 and generate monthly repayments of at least $20; (4) no more than two loans may be outstanding for any participant at any time; and (5) no more than two loans may be received by any participant during any 12 month period. 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 9.50% on outstanding loan balances during the year ended December 31, 2001). Allocation of Investment Income (Loss) Each participant's 401(k) account is credited with investment income or loss based upon the performance of the respective participant-directed investments. Each participant's ESOP account is allocated and credited with investment income (loss) from the Plan's ESOP investments as determined by a formula based upon the participant's ESOP account balance. Allocation of Forfeitures Forfeitures of the Company's contributions to 401(k) 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. Forfeitures attributable to amounts held in participants' ESOP accounts are used to pay expenses of administration of the trust fund with any remaining balance allocated to participants in proportion to each participant's ESOP compensation for the plan 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. Effective January 1, 2001, a participant becomes 25 percent vested 5 The Advest Thrift Plan Notes To Financial Statements (Continued) 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. Prior to January 1, 2001, a participant became 10 percent vested after one year of service as defined and in increments of 15 percent per year of service thereafter, and would be 100 percent vested after seven years of service. However, if an active participant dies prior to attaining the normal retirement age, or becomes disabled, the participant's account becomes 100 percent vested. 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. Participants that are age 55 may elect to withdraw 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 401(k) and ESOP account balances 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 401(k) account in cash or in-kind. Benefits held in a participant's ESOP account are paid in a lump sum in the form of shares of the Company's stock, unless the participant elects to receive the benefits in cash. Benefit payments are recorded when paid. Plan Expenses Plan expenses are paid by the Plan unless voluntarily paid by the Company. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Investment Valuation and Income Recognition The investments are stated at fair value as of the statement date, generally based upon quoted market prices and for the certificates of deposit, at principal plus accrued interest, where available. 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, 2001, by investment category is as follows: Registered investment companies $(18,033,282) The MONY Group Inc. common stock (683,035) The Advest Group, Inc. common stock (2,043,734) U.S. Government securities 662,727 Certificates of deposit (51,139) ------------ $(20,148,463) ============ 6 The Advest Thrift Plan Notes To Financial Statements (Continued) 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. Accordingly, $1,715,072 and $5,782,249 of distributions payable have been included as net assets available for plan benefits at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and not recognized as liabilities. 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 year ended December 31, 2001. 4.

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. 7. Tax Status The IRS has determined and informed the Company, by letter dated March 24, 1995, 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 receipt of that letter. The Company has submitted the Plan as amended through January 1, 2001 (except as other wise indicated therein) to the Internal Revenue Service. 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 and, therefore, that the trust established under the Plan is qualified under the IRC as exempt from Federal income taxes. 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 both the 2001 and 2000 plan years. 8. 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
