        Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

                                 March 31, 1998


1.   Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include Donaldson, Lufkin &
Jenrette, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("DLJ" or the "Company"). All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company is a
majority owned subsidiary of the Equitable Companies Incorporated and its
subsidiaries (together, "Equitable"). The Company's separate financial
statements reflect Equitable's cost basis established at the time of
Equitable's acquisition of the Company in 1985.

Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
but is not required for interim reporting purposes has been condensed or
omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring
accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated
financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented.
The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
results for the entire year. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of
and for the year ended December 31, 1997 included on Form 10-K filed by the
Company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year
financial statements to conform to the 1998 presentation.

On January 1, 1998, all provisions of SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers
and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" were
effective. The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") deferred until
that date certain provisions of SFAS No. 125 relating to secured borrowings and
collateral, repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar
transactions. The impact of adopting the deferred provisions of SFAS No. 125
was not material to the Company's condensed consolidated statement of financial
condition.

In 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income,"
which establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive
income and its components. Total comprehensive income measures all changes in
stockholders' equity resulting from transactions of the period, other than
transactions with stockholders.

In March 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 98-1,
"Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for
Internal Use" (the "SOP"). The SOP requires that certain costs related to the
development or purchase of software for internal use be capitalized. The SOP is
effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 1998 and should be applied prospectively, however, earlier application is 
encouraged. The Company adopted the provisions of the SOP effective January 1, 
1998. The adoption of the SOP did not have a material impact on the Company's 
condensed consolidated financial statements.

2.   Common Stock Split

In February 1998, the Board of Directors declared a two-for-one stock split
(the "stock split") of the Company's common stock, subject to stockholder
approval, to increase the number of authorized common shares. In April 1998,
the stockholders approved an amendment to the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation whereby the amount of total authorized shares of common stock was
increased to 300 million shares and the amount of total authorized shares of
preferred stock was increased to 50 million. The stock split was effected in
the form of a 100% stock dividend to stockholders of record on April 27, 1998,
and was paid on May 11, 1998. The par value of the common stock remained at
$.10 per share. Accordingly, an adjustment from paid-in capital to common stock
was made to preserve the value of the post-split shares. All common share, per
common share, restricted stock unit and option data have been restated for the
effect of the stock split in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements.

        Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)


3.   Income Taxes

Income taxes for interim period condensed consolidated financial statements
have been accrued using the Company's estimated effective tax rate. Effective
January 1, 1997, Equitable's ownership for tax purposes declined to under 80%
and therefore, the Company will file its own U.S. consolidated Federal income 
tax return separate and apart from Equitable. There were no Federal income 
taxes paid for the three months ended March 31, 1998. Net Federal income tax
equivalents paid to Equitable were $7.1 million during the three months ended
March 31, 1997.

4.   Borrowings

Short-term borrowings are generally demand obligations, at interest rates
approximating Federal fund rates from banks and other financial institutions.
Such borrowings are generally used to finance securities inventories, to
facilitate the financial instruments settlement process and to finance
financial instruments purchased by customers on margin. In January 1998, the
Company commenced a $1.0 billion commercial paper program. Obligations issued
thereunder (the "Notes") are exempt from registration under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended. The Notes rank pari passu with the Company's other
unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. At March 31, 1998, the Company had
$194.2 million of Notes outstanding under this program which are included in
short-term borrowings on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of
financial condition.

Long-term borrowings, including current maturities of $39.6 million and $32.8
million at March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively, consist of the
following:

</TABLE>

In March 1998, the Company issued $150 million of 6 1/2% Senior Notes which
mature on April 1, 2008.

Subordinated exchange notes due in 2003 include $20.0 million due to a
subsidiary of Equitable at March 31, 1998.

Structured notes are customized financing instruments in which the amount of
interest or principal paid on the debt obligation is linked to the return on
specific cash instruments, primarily foreign sovereign debt. The notes, most of
which carry a zero coupon, mature at various dates through 2012.

The Company maintains a $2.0 billion revolving credit facility with various
banks, of which $1.0 billion may be unsecured. There were no borrowings
outstanding under this agreement at March 31, 1998.

Interest paid on all borrowings and financing arrangements amounted to $1.1
billion and $758.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

5.   Long-term Corporate Development Investments

Long-term corporate development investments represent the Company's involvement
in private debt and equity investments which generally have no readily
available market or may otherwise be restricted as to resale under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Accordingly, these investments are carried
at estimated fair value as

        Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)


determined by the Finance Committee of the Board of Directors. The cost of
these investments was $497.5 million and $323.2 million at March 31, 1998 and
December 31, 1997, respectively. The increase in net unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 amounted to
$5.8 million and $(3.4) million, respectively. Changes in unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) arising from changes in fair value or upon
realization are reflected in revenues, principal transactions-net, investment
in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

6.   Net Capital

The Company's principal wholly-owned subsidiary, Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette
Securities Corporation ("DLJSC"), is a registered broker-dealer, a registered
futures commission merchant and member firm of The New York Stock Exchange,
Inc. (the "NYSE") and, accordingly, is subject to the minimum net capital
requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, NYSE and the
Commodities Futures Trading Commission. As such, it is subject to NYSE's net
capital rule which conforms to the Uniform Net Capital Rule pursuant to rule
15c3-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under the alternative method
permitted by this rule, the required net capital, as defined, shall not be less
than two percent of aggregate debit balances arising from customer
transactions, as defined, or four percent of segregated funds, as defined,
whichever is greater. The NYSE may also require a member firm to reduce its
business if its net capital is less than four percent of aggregate debit
balances and may prohibit a member firm from expanding its business and
declaring cash dividends if its net capital is less than five percent of
aggregate debit balances. At March 31, 1998, DLJSC's net capital of
approximately $815.1 million was 16 percent of aggregate debit balances and in
excess of the minimum requirement by approximately $705.1 million.

Certain of the Company's London-based broker-dealer subsidiaries are subject to
the requirements of the Securities and Futures Authority, a self-regulatory
organization established pursuant to the United Kingdom Financial Services Act
of 1986. Other U.S. and foreign broker-dealer subsidiaries of the Company are
subject to net capital requirements of their respective regulatory agencies. At
March 31, 1998, the Company and its broker-dealer subsidiaries were in
compliance with all applicable regulatory capital adequacy requirements.

7.   Earnings Per Share

Basic and diluted earnings per common share amounts have been calculated by
dividing earnings applicable to common shares (net income less preferred
dividends) by the weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings
per common share also include the dilutive effects of shares of common stock
issuable under the Restricted Stock Unit Plan and options under the treasury
stock method. All earnings per share amounts have been restated for the effect
of the stock split.

The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the
basic and diluted earnings per common share computations at March 31:

</TABLE>

10.  Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company enters into certain contractual agreements referred to as
derivatives or off-balance sheet financial instruments involving options,
forwards and futures. Substantially all of the Company's activities related to
derivatives are, by their nature, trading activities which are primarily for
the purpose of customer accommodations. The Company's derivative activities
consist of writing over-the-counter ("OTC") options to accommodate its
customers' needs, trading in forward contracts in U.S. government and agency
issued or guaranteed securities and in futures contracts on equity-based
indices, interest rate instruments and currencies and issuing structured
products based on emerging market debt, other financial instruments and
indices. The Company's involvement in swap contracts and commodity derivative
instruments is not significant. Although the Company may enter into certain
derivative instruments to provide an economic hedge against certain risks, all
realized and unrealized gains and losses on these instruments are recorded
currently in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

Accounting Policies for Derivatives
Changes in unrealized gains or losses as well as realized gains and losses at
settlement on all derivative instruments (options, forward and futures
contracts) are included in the condensed consolidated statements of income in
principal transactions-net, trading. Related offsetting amounts are presented
as receivables or payables from brokers, dealers and other in the condensed
consolidated statements of financial condition. Fair value of certain options
includes the unamortized premiums which are deferred and are included in
payables to brokers, dealers and other in the condensed consolidated statements
of financial condition. Such premiums are recognized over the life of the
option contracts on a straight-line basis. Cash flows from derivative
instruments are presented as operating activities in the condensed consolidated
statements of cash flows.

The Company also enters into swap transactions as an end-user for non-trading
purposes to modify the interest rate exposure on certain debt obligations. Such
transactions are accounted for on an accrual basis. Under the accrual basis,
the net amount to be received or paid under the swap agreement is accrued as
part of interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

Options contracts are typically written for a duration of less than 13 months.
The notional (contract) values of written options contracts outstanding was
approximately $6.7 billion and $5.4 billion at March 31, 1998 and December 31,
1997, respectively. Such options contracts are substantially covered by various
financial instruments that the Company has purchased or sold on a proprietary
basis.

11.  Commitments and Contingencies

At March 31, 1998, the Company was contingently liable for unsecured letters of
credit of approximately $209.5 million.

The Company has outstanding commitments, expiring on March 16, 2000, to provide
financings to third parties in the total amount of $150.0 million which would
be secured by mortgage loans on real estate properties. At March 31, 1998,
unfunded commitments outstanding under this facility amounted to $78.4 million.
In addition, the Company enters into commitments to extend credit in connection
with the origination and syndication of senior bank debt of non-investment
grade borrowers. At March 31, 1998, unfunded senior bank loan commitments
outstanding amounted to $440.5 million.

The Company has commitments to invest on a side by side basis with merchant
banking partnerships in the amount of $843.8 million at December 31, 1997.

As a securities broker and dealer, risk is an inherent part of the Company's
business activities. The principal types of risks involved in the Company's
activities are market risk, credit or counterparty risk and transaction risk.
The Company has developed an infrastructure designed to control, monitor and
manage each type of risk. For a further discussion of these matters, refer to
Notes 8, 9 and 10 of the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997.

12.  Legal Proceedings

     Certain significant legal proceedings and matters have been previously
disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1997. With respect to the litigation in the National Gypsum case,
DLJSC has appealed the Bankruptcy Court's ruling in January 1998 that the State
Court plaintiff's claims were not barred by the NGC plan of reorganization
insofar as they alleged nondisclosure of certain cost reductions.

     In addition to the significant proceedings and matters referred to above,
the Company has been named as a defendant in a number of actions relating to
its various businesses including various civil actions and arbitrations arising
out of its activities as a broker-dealer in securities, as an underwriter and
as an employer and arising out of alleged employee misconduct. Some of the
actions have been brought on behalf of various classes of claimants and seek
damages of material or indeterminate amounts. The Company is also involved,
from time to time, in proceedings with, and investigations by, governmental
agencies and self regulatory organizations. Although there can be no assurance
that such other actions, proceedings, investigations and litigation will not
have a material adverse effect on the results of operations of the Company in
any future period, depending in part on the results for such period, in the
opinion of management of the Company the ultimate resolution of any such other
actions, proceedings, investigations and litigation against the Company will
not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition
and/or results of operations of the Company.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

The following analysis of the consolidated results of operations and financial
condition of Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the
"Company") should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements and the related Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements included elsewhere herein, and with the Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the
Company's 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

     The Company's principal business activities, investment and merchant
banking, securities sales and trading and correspondent brokerage services are,
by their nature, highly competitive and subject to general market conditions,
volatile trading markets and fluctuations in the volume of market activity.
Consequently, the Company's net income and revenues have been and are likely to
continue to be, subject to wide fluctuations, reflecting the impact of many
factors beyond the Company's control including securities market conditions,
the level and volatility of interest rates, competitive conditions and the size
and timing of transactions.

The favorable market conditions that existed throughout most of 1997 continued
through the first quarter of 1998. Despite continued uncertainty relating to
the Asian financial crisis, the U.S. financial markets remained robust. U.S.
interest rates remained low, with the last increase by the U.S. Federal Reserve
Board occurring in March 1997. Continued merger and acquisition activity
combined with the low U.S. interest rates resulted in record levels of debt and
equity underwritings. More than $472.6 billion in stocks and bonds were issued
in the U.S. in the first quarter of 1998 compared with $372.5 billion for the
prior quarter. Trading activity on the major exchanges continued their bullish
ascent in March amid strong advances in all major market indices. The Dow Jones
Industrial Average, Standard & Poor's 500 Index and NASDAQ Composite increased
11.3%, 13.5% and 16.9%, respectively for the quarter.

Global financial market conditions were generally favorable during the quarter.
European interest rates and currencies have stabilized in anticipation of
economic and monetary union ("EMU"). However, U.S. interest rate policy will
continue to be a primary factor in determining whether the European capital
markets will remain buoyant.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

     In January 1998, the Company issued 3.5 million shares of Fixed/Adjustable
Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series B, with a liquidation preference of $50
per share ($175.0 million aggregate liquidation value).

     In March 1998, the Company issued $150 million of 6 1/2% Senior Notes due
2008.

     In February 1998, the Board of Directors declared a two-for-one stock
split (the "stock split") of the Company's common stock, subject to stockholder
approval to increase the number of authorized common shares. In April 1998, the
stockholders approved an amendment to the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation whereby the amount of total authorized shares of common stock was
increased to 300 million shares and the amount of total authorized shares of
preferred stock was increased to 50 million. The stock split was effected in
the form of a 100% stock dividend to stockholders of record on April 27, 1998,
and was paid on May 11, 1998. The par value of the common stock remained at
$.10 per share. All common share, per common share, restricted stock unit and
option data have been restated for the effect of the stock split in the
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1997

     Total revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 were $1.49 billion, an
increase of $512.0 million or 52.2% over the quarter ended March 31, 1997.
Revenues increased due primarily to an increase in net interest income, equity
underwriting, principal transactions and fees.

     Commission revenues increased by $30.2 million or 17.9% to $198.5 million
due to increased business in all areas and is generally consistent with the
overall growth in listed share volume on major equity exchanges.



                                      14
<PAGE>




     Underwriting revenues increased by $146.9 million or 84.5% to $320.8
million. The Company and the industry experienced increases in equity, fixed
income and high yield underwriting during the first quarter of 1998. Among the 
offerings, the Company completed the first high-yield offering denominated in
ECU/EURO and the largest ever offerings denominated in British Pounds Sterling 
and German Deutsche Marks.

     Fee revenues increased by $109.2 million or 74.8% to $255.4 million.
Overall, merger and acquisition, asset management and other advisory services
activities increased during the first quarter of 1998.

     Interest, net of interest expense to finance U.S. government, agency and
mortgage-backed securities, increased by $245.1 million or 76.6% to $564.8
million. Higher levels of fixed-income securities in the Company's Fixed Income
and Emerging Markets business accounted for more than half of the increase. The
remaining increase was due to increased margin balances and stock loan/borrowed
business at Pershing.

     Principal transactions-net, trading revenues decreased by $52.0 million or
33.3% to $104.3 million primarily from an emerging markets trading strategy
whereby profits are realized as net interest revenues rather than as trading
gains.

     Principal transactions-net, investment revenues increased by $40.5 million
to $41.3 million. Realized gains on investments were $35.5 million. Net 
unrealized carrying values increased by $5.8 million, which includes the 
elimination of net unrealized depreciation of $4.4 million on investments sold
and an increase in net unrealized appreciation of $1.4 million on retained
investments.

     Total costs and expenses for the first quarter of 1998 were $1.28 billion,
an increase of $438.8 million or 52.4% over the first quarter of 1997 due to
continued expansion of the Company's domestic and international operations. 
During the first quarter of 1998, the Company launched an international 
equities group, opened an office in Moscow and established a European 
high-yield business in London. In addition, the Investment Banking Group 
expanded coverage in the financial services, technology and telecommunication 
industries.

     Compensation and benefits increased $220.6 million or 52.1% to $644.1
million. Incentive and production-related compensation increased by 54.9% in
1998 due to higher revenues and operating results. In addition, the first
quarter of 1998 includes a $29 million one-time provision for costs associated
primarily with the Company's plans for significant expansion in Europe. Base
compensation, including benefits and all payroll taxes, increased by 43.7% due
to expansion in various business groups. At March 31, 1998, full-time personnel
totaled 7,377 compared to 6,046 at March 31, 1997, an increase of 1,331 or
22.0%.

     Interest expense increased $155.7 million or 71.4% to $373.9 million. Most
of this increase was related to the financing of expanded levels of inventory
of fixed-income related products including foreign local fixed-income
securities as well as increased business activity at Pershing.

     All other expenses, as noted below, increased by $62.4 million or 31.9% to
$258.2 million for the first quarter of 1998.

     Brokerage, clearing, exchange fees and other expenses decreased by $2.2
million due to decreased transaction fee payments. Occupancy and equipment
costs increased by $19.5 million as a result of the expansion of the Company's
principal office in the U.S. and the expansion of the Company's other domestic
and overseas offices. Communications costs increased by $5.7 million due to
expanded facilities and growth in professional staff. All other operating
expenses increased by $39.5 million. Included therein are professional fees,
travel and entertainment, and printing and stationery which increased due to an
overall increase in the level of business activity. Data processing costs
increased due to expansion of the Company's international operations and the
implementation and development of new systems. In addition, these costs
increased due to the overhaul of the on-line customer trading and information
system for the Company's correspondent brokerage network as well as costs
relating to the Year 2000 project.

     The Company's income tax provision for the first quarter of 1998 and 1997
was $83.1 million and $57.6 million, respectively, which represented a 38.25%
and 40% effective tax rate, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax
rate is attributable to lower state and local taxes and the utilization of
foreign tax credits.

     Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 was a record $134.2
million, up $47.8 million or 55.3% from the comparable 1997 period. Basic and
diluted earnings per common share after giving effect to the stock split, using
the treasury stock method were $1.12 and $0.76 and $1.00 and $0.69 for the
first quarter of 1998 and 1997, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's assets are highly liquid with the majority consisting of
securities inventories and collateralized receivables, both of which fluctuate
depending on the levels of proprietary trading and customer business. Such
collateralized receivables consist primarily of resale agreements and
securities borrowed, both of which are secured by U.S. government and agency
securities, and marketable corporate debt and equity securities. In addition,
the Company has significant receivables from customers, brokers and dealers
which turn over frequently. As a securities dealer, the Company may carry
significant levels of trading inventories to meet client needs. As such, the
Company's total assets or the individual components of total assets vary
significantly from period to period because of changes relating to customer
needs, economic and market conditions and proprietary trading strategies. A
relatively small percentage of total assets is fixed or held for a period of
longer than one year. The Company's total assets at March 31, 1998 and December
31, 1997 were $74.1 billion and $70.5 billion, respectively.

     The majority of the Company's assets are financed through daily operations
by repurchase agreements, financial instruments sold not yet purchased,
securities loaned, bank loans, and through payables to brokers and dealers.
Short-term funding is generally obtained at rates related to Federal funds,
LIBOR and money market rates. Other borrowing costs are negotiated depending
upon prevailing market conditions. The Company monitors overall liquidity by
tracking the extent to which unencumbered marketable assets exceed short-term
unsecured borrowings.

     The Company maintains a $2.0 billion credit facility with various banks,
of which $1.0 billion may be unsecured.

     Certain of the Company's businesses are capital intensive. In addition to
normal operating requirements, capital is required to cover financing and
regulatory charges on securities inventories, merchant banking investments and
investments in fixed assets. The Company's overall capital needs are
continually reviewed to ensure that its capital base can appropriately support
the anticipated needs of its business units as well as the regulatory capital
requirements of subsidiaries. Based upon these analyses, management believes
that the Company's debt and equity base is adequate for current operating
levels. The Company has been active in raising additional long-term financing,
including extending the maturity of its senior subordinated revolving credit
agreement of $325 million. In addition, the Company issued $150 million of 6
1/2% Senior Notes due 2008 in March 1998.

     The Company issues structured notes which are customized financing
instruments in which the amount of interest or principal paid on the debt
obligation is linked to the return on specific cash market financial
instruments, primarily foreign sovereign debt. At March 31, 1998 and December
31, 1997, the Company had issued long-term structured notes with principal
amounts of $147.6 million and $123.7 million outstanding, respectively. The
Company covers its obligations on structured notes primarily by purchasing and
selling the financial instruments to which the value of its structured notes
are linked.

     In January 1998, the Company issued 3.5 million shares of Fixed/Adjustable
Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series B, with a liquidation preference of $50
per share ($175.0 million aggregate liquidation value).

     In January 1998, the Company commenced a $1.0 billion commercial paper
program. Obligations issued thereunder (the "Notes") are exempt from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Notes rank pari
passu with the Company's other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. At
March 31, 1998, the Company had $194.2 million of Notes outstanding under this
program.

The Company's current credit ratings of its long-term debt and commercial paper
are as follows:

     The Company's principal wholly-owned subsidiary, Donaldson, Lufkin &
Jenrette Securities Corporation ("DLJSC") is subject to the capital
requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the New York Stock
Exchange, Inc., the Commodities Futures Trading Commission and the Chicago
Board of Trade, all of



                                      16
<PAGE>



which should ensure the general capital adequacy and liquidity of
broker-dealers and/or futures commission merchants. DLJSC has consistently
maintained capital substantially in excess of the minimum requirements of such
capital rules. At March 31, 1998, DLJSC had aggregate regulatory "net capital,"
after adjustments required by Rule 15c3-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, of approximately $815.1 million, which exceeded minimum net capital
requirements by $705.1 million and which exceeded the net capital required by
DLJSC's most restrictive debt covenants by $439.2 million. Certain of the
Company's London-based broker-dealer subsidiaries are subject to the
requirements of the Securities and Futures Authority, a self-regulatory
organization established pursuant to the United Kingdom Financial Services Act
of 1986. Other U.S. and foreign broker-dealer subsidiaries of the Company are
subject to net capital requirements of their respective regulatory agencies. At
March 31, 1998, the Company and its broker-dealer subsidiaries were in
compliance with all applicable regulatory capital adequacy requirements.

     The Company's overall capital and funding needs are continually reviewed
to ensure that its capital base can support the estimated needs of its business
units.

     The Company continues to explore potential acquisition opportunities as a
means of expanding its business. Such opportunities may involve acquisitions
which are material in size and may require the raising of additional capital.

CASH FLOWS

     The Company's condensed consolidated statements of cash flows classify
cash flow into three broad categories: cash flows from operating activities,
investing activities and financing activities. The Company's net cash flows are
principally associated with operating and financing activities, which support
the Company's trading, customer and banking activities.

Three Months Ended March 31, 1998 and 1997

     Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 1998 and 1997, totaled $247.4
million and $195.0 million, respectively.  This represents a decrease of $25.7
million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and an increase of $36.2 
million for the three months ended March 31, 1997.

     Cash used in operating activities totaled $1.5 billion and $3.4 billion
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and reflects
primarily an increase in operating assets. In the first three months of 1998,
there were increases in assets including trading inventories of $2.1 billion,
receivables from brokers, dealers and other of $1.1 billion and securities
borrowed of $1.0 billion. These increases were partially offset by increases in
liabilities including payables to brokers, dealers and other of $1.3 billion
and financial instruments sold not yet purchased of $1.1 billion. In the first
three months of 1997, there were increases in assets including securities
borrowed of $3.9 billion and trading inventories of $1.6 billion. These
increases were partially offset by increases in securities loaned of $1.4
billion and financial instruments sold not yet purchased of $0.9 billion.

     For the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, cash of $246.3 million
and $119.5 million, respectively, was used in investing activities. These
generally consist of purchases of long-term corporate development investments
and office facilities. Additionally, in 1997, cash was used for the purchase of
net assets related to the Phoenix acquisition.

     For the first three months of 1998 and 1997, net cash provided by
financing activities totaled $1.7 billion and $3.5 billion, respectively, of
which, $1.4 billion and $3.4 billion was provided by short-term financings
(principally repurchase agreements). Additionally, in 1998, $175.0 million was
provided from the issuance of Series B preferred stock.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     The Company's derivative activities are not as extensive as many of its
competitors. Instead, the Company has focused its derivative activities on
writing over-the-counter ("OTC") options contracts to accommodate its
customers' needs, trading in forward contracts in U.S. government and agency
issued or guaranteed securities, trading in futures contracts on equity-based
indices, interest rate instruments and foreign currencies, and issuing
structured products based on emerging market debt, other financial instruments
and indices. The Company's involvement in swap contracts and commodity
derivative instruments is not significant. As a result, the Company's
involvement in derivative products is related primarily to revenue generation
through the provision of products to its clients as opposed to covers of the
Company's own positions.



                                      17
<PAGE>




      Options Contracts:

     Options contracts are typically written for a duration of less than 13
months. Revenues from these activities (net of related interest expenses) were
approximately $15.1 million and $9.6 million for the three months ended March
31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Option writing revenues are primarily from the
amortization of option premiums.

     The notional value of written options contracts outstanding was
approximately $6.7 billion and $9.3 billion at March 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. Such written options contracts are substantially covered by
various financial instruments that the Company has purchased or sold as
principal. The overall decrease in the notional value of all options was due
primarily to decreases in customer activity related to foreign sovereign debt
securities.

      Forward and Futures Contracts:

     As part of the Company's trading activities, including trading activities
in the related cash instruments, the Company enters into forward and futures
contracts primarily involving securities, foreign currencies, indices and
forward rate agreements, as well as options on futures contracts. Such forward
and futures contracts are entered into as part of the Company's covering
transactions and generally are not used for speculative purposes.

     Net trading losses on forward contracts were $20.9 million and $29.3
million and net trading gains (losses) on futures contracts were $(27.0)
million and $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

The notional contract and market values of the forward and futures contracts at
March 31, 1998 and 1997 were as follows:

MERCHANT BANKING AND BRIDGE LENDING ACTIVITIES

     The Company's merchant banking activities include investments in various
partnerships, for which subsidiaries of the Company act as general partner, as
well as direct investments in connection with its merchant banking activities.
As of March 31, 1998 the Company had investments of $423.6 million and has
commitments to invest up to an additional $843.8 million in connection with
these merchant banking activities.

     The Company is the sponsor of the $1.25 billion DLJ Bridge Fund which
provides short-term loans in connection with DLJ's merchant banking and
financial advisory businesses. The Bridge Fund has a commitment of subordinated
debt from Equitable. Any loans made by the DLJ Bridge Fund would be expected to
be refinanced, and the outstanding amounts repaid, within a short-term period.
At March 31, 1998, the DLJ Bridge Fund had extended $233.9 million of
short-term bridge loans.

HIGH-YIELD AND OTHER NON-INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT

     The Company participates in the underwriting, trading, sales and holding
of high-yield and other non-investment-grade debt. Non-investment-grade debt is
defined as loans to companies rated BB+ or lower as well as non-rated loans.
These instruments generally involve greater risk than investment-grade debt
holdings due to credit considerations, liquidity of secondary trading markets
and vulnerability to general economic conditions. In the first quarter of 1998,
the Company's high-yield and other non-investment grade debt increased due to
the demand for higher-yielding instruments, expansion of the Company's senior
bank debt activities and increased investment activities of the Emerging
Markets Division.



                                      18
<PAGE>




     The Company accounts for its high-yield financial instruments at market 
value and other non-investment grade holdings generally at market or fair 
value, with unrealized gains and losses recognized currently in earnings. At 
March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997 the Company had long and short financial 
instruments (excluding derivatives and structured notes) as follows:

RISK MANAGEMENT AND VALUE AT RISK

     For a description of the Company's risk management policies and procedures
and value-at-risk ("VAR") model, including such model's assumptions and
limitations, refer to the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company's 1997 Annual
Report on form 10-K.

The Company-wide VAR was approximately $15.6 million and $10.9 million at March
31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively. The Company-wide VAR is less than
the sum of the individual components below due to the benefit of
diversification among the risks presented below. The VAR for the three main
components of market risk, expressed in terms of theoretical fair values at
March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997 is as follows:

YEAR 2000

     As a result of the Company's recent expansion, entry into new product
markets and its move to new corporate headquarters, many of the Company's newer
communications and data processing systems are Year 2000 compliant. The
Company, however, has undertaken a project to identify and modify non-Year 2000
compliant communications and data processing systems in anticipation of the
Year 2000. Many of the non-Year 2000 compliant systems process transactions
using two-digit date fields for the year of a transaction, rather than the full
four digits. If these systems are not identified and reconfigured, Year 2000
transactions would be processed as year "00," which could lead to processing
inaccuracies and potential inoperability and could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business. At the present time, the Company expects that
most of its significant Year 2000 corrections should be tested and in
production by the end of 1998. Full integration testing of these systems and
testing of interfaces with third party providers will continue through 1999.
However, there can be no assurance that such schedule will be met or the
systems of other companies on which the Company's business is dependent also
will be timely converted or that any such failure to convert by another company
would not have an adverse effect on the Company's business. The total cost of
the project through the end of 1998 is currently estimated to be between $80
and $90 million. Costs related to this project are expensed and the Company has
incurred approximately $51 million of such costs at March 31, 1998.

PART II  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


     Certain significant legal proceedings and matters have been previously
disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1997. With respect to the litigation involving Dayton Monetary
Associates and Charles Davison, DLJSC's motions for summary judgments were
denied in April 1998. In the National Gypsum case, DLJSC has appealed the
Bankruptcy Court's ruling in January 1998 that the State Court plaintiff's
claims were not barred by the NGC plan of reorganization insofar as they
alleged nondisclosure of certain cost reductions.

     In addition to the significant proceedings and matters referred to above,
the Company has been named as a defendant in a number of actions relating to
its various businesses including various civil actions and arbitrations arising
out of its activities as a broker-dealer in securities, as an underwriter and
as an employer and arising out of alleged employee misconduct. Some of the
actions have been brought on behalf of various classes of claimants and seek
damages of material or indeterminate amounts. The Company is also involved,
from time to time, in proceedings with, and investigations by, governmental
agencies and self regulatory organizations. Although there can be no assurance
that such other actions, proceedings, investigations and litigation will not
have a material adverse effect on the results of operations of the Company in
any future period, depending in part on the results for such period, in the
opinion of management of the Company the ultimate resolution of any such other
actions, proceedings, investigations and litigation against the Company will
not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition
and/or results of operations of the Company.
