Item 1:  Business

General

         BNP U.S. Funding L.L.C. (the "Company" or the "Registrant") is a
Delaware limited liability company formed on October 14, 1997 for the purpose of
acquiring and holding certain types of eligible securities that generate net
income for distribution to the holders of its Series A Preferred Securities (as
defined below) and its redeemable Common Securities (as defined below). The
Company has no subsidiaries. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of the New
York Branch (the "Branch") of Banque Nationale de Paris, a societe anonyme or
limited liability corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of France
(the "Bank" or "BNP"). The Company was continued pursuant to the Amended and
Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Company (the "Company's
Charter" or the "Charter") entered into on December 5, 1997 by the New York
Branch of BNP (the "Branch"), as holder of all of the redeemable common limited
liability company interests of the Company, $10,000 par value (the "Common
Securities"), and the holders of the preferred limited liability company
interests of the Company, including the Noncumulative Preferred Securities,
Series A, liquidation preference $10,000 per security, (the "Series A Preferred
Securities") as they may exist and be outstanding from time to time.

         The Company was initially capitalized on October 14, 1997 with the
issuance to the Branch of one share of the Company's Common Securities. On
December 5, 1997 (inception), the Company commenced operations concurrent with
the issuance of 50,000 Series A Preferred Securities to qualified institutional
buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, and the issuance
of 53,011 Common Securities to the Branch. These issuances raised in the
aggregate $1,030,115,873 of net capital (including $5,873 of additional paid in
capital). This entire amount was used to acquire a portfolio of debt securities
(the "Initial Portfolio") at their fair values from the Branch.

         The Company entered into a services agreement (the "Services
Agreement") with the Branch on December 5, 1997 pursuant to which the Branch
maintains the securities portfolio of the Company (the "Portfolio") and performs
other administrative functions. All of the Company's officers and employees are
officers or employees of the Branch or the Bank. The securities in the Portfolio
are held by Citibank N.A., acting as trustee (the "Trustee") under the trust
agreement between the Company and Citibank N.A. dated December 1, 1997 (the
"Trust Agreement").

General Description of Portfolio

         Types of Eligible Securities

         Pursuant to its Charter and resolutions adopted by its Board of
Directors, the Company may invest only in specified types of securities
("Eligible Securities"). Eligible Securities currently consist of (i) mortgage
pass-through securities issued or guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage
Association ("GNMA"), the Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") or the
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") that represent fractional
undivided interests in pools of the relevant mortgage loans ("Agency
Securities"); (ii) REMIC securities that are issued or guaranteed by GNMA, FHLMC
or FNMA and that represent beneficial ownership interests in trusts established
by GNMA, FHLMC or FNMA, the assets of which consist directly or indirectly of
Agency Securities or other, previously issued REMIC securities of this type
("REMIC Agency Securities"); (iii) REMIC securities that are issued by an
unrelated private company and secured directly or indirectly by Agency
Securities and rated AAA by Standard & Poor's as to creditworthiness, that
represent beneficial ownership interests in a trust established by such private
company, the assets of which consist directly or indirectly of Agency
Securities, REMIC Agency Securities, or other previously issued REMIC securities
of this type ("Agency Collateralized Securities"); (iv) unsecured, current pay,
direct debt obligations of FNMA and FHLMC ("Agency Debentures"); (v) U.S.
Treasury securities with a maturity of up to ten years ("Treasuries"); and (vi)
specified short-term investments not subject to U.S. withholding tax
("Short-Term Instruments" and, collectively with the securities included in
(i)-(v) above, the "Eligible Securities"). Categories (i) through (iii) above
are referred to herein as "Mortgage-Backed Securities". REMIC Agency Securities
include GNMA REMIC Securities, FHLMC REMIC Securities and FNMA REMIC Securities.
The trusts set up in connection with REMIC Agency Securities and Agency
Collateralized Securities may have elected to be treated as real estate mortgage
investment conduits ("REMICs") for federal income tax purposes.

         The types of Agency Securities in the Portfolio are (i) securities
backed only by mortgages with adjustable rates that reset annually at a given
rate plus a net margin ("Agency ARMs"); (ii) securities backed by mortgages with
a fixed rate for a specified period of time, after which they reset annually at
a given rate plus a net margin ("Agency Hybrid ARMs"); and (iii) securities
backed by fixed rate loans on multifamily properties ("Agency DUSs").

         Set forth below is a description, as of December 31, 1999 of the
Portfolio. As of December 31, 1999, the Eligible Securities included in the
Portfolio had an aggregate book value of $1,001,622,585 and an estimated fair
value of $981,351,754. As of such date, calculated by aggregate book value,
11.12% of the securities in the Portfolio were floating rate REMIC securities
("Floating-rate REMICs"), 6.11% were fixed rate REMIC securities ("Fixed-rate
REMICs"), 10.61% were Agency ARMs, 13.69% were Agency Hybrid ARMs, 38.83% were
Agency Debentures and 19.64% were Agency DUSs.

         The following table sets forth certain information with respect to each
type of security included in the Portfolio:

Description of Types of Securities

         Floating-rate REMICs

         Floating-rate REMICs are backed by Agency Securities where a particular
portion of the cash flows are directed to the Floating-rate REMICs. FNMA, FHLMC,
and GNMA all guarantee the full and timely payment of principal and interest on
the pools of mortgages, which flow through to the REMICs. These REMICs are
floating-rate securities whose interest rate reset monthly at the then-current
rate of one-month LIBOR plus a margin. The interest ratio is subject to a
lifetime cap and floor. The interest cap, floor, and margin all vary by
security.

         Agency ARMs

         The Agency ARMs in the Adjustable Rate Mortgage ("ARM") pools consist
of securities having the timely payment of principal and interest generally
guaranteed by GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC. The securities consist of pools of
adjustable rate mortgages, whose interest rates reset annually at a rate equal
to the then-current rate of the One-Year Constant Maturity Treasury Index (as
defined below) plus a net margin. The interest ratio for each ARM pool is
subject to a periodic cap and a lifetime cap, which vary by agency and pool.

         The One-Year Constant Maturity Treasury Index ("CMT") is the weekly
average yield on U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one
year as published by the Federal Reserve Board in Statistical Release H. 15(519)
or any similar publication or, if not so published, as reported by any Federal
Reserve Bank or by any U.S. Government department or agency. The Three-Year
Constant Maturity Treasury Index is the weekly average yield on U.S. Treasury
securities adjusted to a constant maturity of three years as published in a
similar manner as The One-Year Constant Maturity Treasury Index.

         Agency Hybrid ARMs

         The Agency Hybrid ARMs consist of securities having the timely payment
of principal and interest guaranteed by FNMA and FHLMC. The securities consist
of mortgages that have a fixed interest rate for a specified period of time,
after which the interest rate reset annually at a rate equal to the then-current
rate of the One-Year Constant Maturity Treasury Index (as defined above) plus a
security net margin, except that pools underlying the Fannie Mae 422268 have a
coupon that resets every three years at a rate equal to the then-current rate of
the Three-Year Constant Maturity Treasury Index (as defined above) plus a
security net margin. The interest rate of each ARM pool is subject to a periodic
cap and a lifetime cap which vary by pool.

         Agency DUSs

         Pursuant to a Board of Directors resolution of November 4, 1998, the
Company may invest in Agency DUSs. A Delegated Underwriting and Servicing (DUS)
pool is 100% guaranteed by FNMA and backed by loans on multifamily properties.
These are fixed-rate loans ranging in size from $1 million to $50 million. FNMA
guarantees timely payment of interest and principal, including any balloon
payments. Consequently, there is no risk of a loss of principal. Loans include
yield maintenance provisions that permit the borrower to prepay his mortgage but
only with a penalty that is sufficient to compensate the investor for early
prepayment. Any yield maintenance collected is passed through to the investor.
Lenders share any loss on defaulted loans, assuming that the loans are
underwritten properly.

Market Information

         There is no established public trading market for the Company's Common
Securities, all of which are held by the Branch. The Bank has agreed with the
Company that, so long as any Series A Preferred Securities are outstanding, it
will maintain direct or indirect ownership of 100% of the outstanding Common
Securities.

Dividends

         Holders of Common Securities are entitled to receive dividends when, as
and if declared by the Company's Board of Directors, out of net gains from the
disposition of securities in the Portfolio and net income not required to be
applied to fund dividends with respect to the Series A Preferred Securities.

         During 1999 the Company had declared and paid $18,806,956 in dividends
on the Common Securities.

Item 7:     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
            Results of Operations

         The following discussion pertains to the years ended December 31, 1999
and December 31, 1998.

General

         The Company was formed on October 14, 1997 and commenced operations on
December 5, 1997 by the sale to qualified institutional buyers of 50,000 Series
A Preferred Securities and the sale to the Branch of BNP of 53,011 Common
Securities. Together, such sales raised net capital of $1,030,115,873, which the
Company used to purchase the Initial Portfolio from the Branch.

         The Company's sole business is to acquire, hold and manage debt
instruments, largely consisting of mortgage obligations, in the Portfolio, which
generate net income for distribution to securityholders. The Company's major
source of income is interest generated by the securities in the Portfolio.

Results of Operations

         The Company had revenues of $58,485,217, for the year ended December
31, 1999 and $53,703,474 for the year ended December 31, 1998. These amounts
consisted entirely of interest income. Interest on the securities in the
Portfolio amounted to $49,599,666 and $51,226,580, respectively, representing an
aggregate yield of 6.07% and 5.15%, respectively. Interest earned and average
yield with respect to each category of security in the Portfolio was as follows:

Treasuries........................    $  4,457,304     5.72%     $  8,490,824     5.80%
</TABLE>


         The yield on the Agency Debentures was approximately 5.41% when taking
into account the income from the derivative products used to hedge these
securities. The yield on the Agency DUSs was approximately 5.90% when taking
into account the income from the derivative products used to hedge these
securities.

         During the third quarter of 1999 the Company sold its entire position
in U.S. Treasury Notes, with a par value of $140 million and an aggregate book
value of $145,240,859 at the time of their sale. These sales were made pursuant
to a unanimous resolution of the Board of Directors adopted on June 30, 1999.
They resulted in an aggregate loss of $338,192. The Company reinvested the
proceeds of such sales in fixed-rate eligible securities Agency Debentures
having a maturity at least equal to, and a yield higher than, the U.S. Treasury
Notes.

         The average book value of the Portfolio during 1999 and the 1998 Period
was $967,177,785 and $989,170,343, respectively. This reflects the following
prepayments and reinvestments:

PREPAYMENTS                               1999                    1998
--------------------------------      -------------           -------------
Floating-rate REMICs............      $  89,582,824           $ 188,840,328

--------------------------------      -------------          -------------
Floating-rate REMICs............                -            $ 124,837,899
Fixed-rate REMICs...............                -            $  78,641,348
Agency ARMs.....................                -            $  40,874,409
Agency Hybrid ARMs..............                -            $ 169,715,612
Agency DUS......................      $ 177,545,235          $           -
Agency Debentures...............      $ 288,874,293          $ 120,000,000


         The Company also recorded interest income from the short-term
investment for 1999 and the 1998 of $2,837,021 and $2,477,193, respectively.
These amounts are attributable to (i) interest payments on securities in the
Portfolio and (ii) prepayments of principal pending their reinvestment.

         The increase in the aggregate yield on the securities in the Portfolio
to 6.07% for 1999 from 5.15% for the 1998 was due primarily to prevailing market
conditions resulting in a higher interest rate environment in the United States.
The CMT index (as defined in Item 1), on which yields on the Agency ARMs and
Agency Hybrid ARMs are based, stood at 5.98% at December 31, 1999 as compared to
4.53% at December 31, 1998. The average for the year ended December 31, 1999 was
5.08% with a low of 4.41% on January 14, 1999, as compared to the average for
the year ended December 31, 1998 of 5.05%, with a low of 3.86 on October 16,
1998.

         As of December 31, 1999, approximately 80.36% of the Portfolio
consisted of collateralized mortgage obligations (Floating-Rate REMICs and
Fixed-Rate REMICs) and Mortgage-Backed Securities (Agency ARMs, Agency Hybrid
ARMs and Agency DUSs), and approximately 19.64% consisted of Agency Debentures.
Floating Rate securities accounted for approximately 35.42% of the Portfolio's
collateralized mortgage obligations and mortgage backed securities. In addition,
the agency debentures and the Agency DUSs are hedged so that the fixed rate
payments received are converted into prevailing floating rates. This accounted
for approximately 58.47% of the Portfolio.

         The aggregate market value of the securities in the Portfolio as of
December 31, 1999 was lower than the book value by approximately 2.02%, due to
an increase in interest rates. These securities are classified as available for
sale and the unrealized net gain (loss) is recorded in Accumulated Other
Comprehensive Income.

         Operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 1999 and December
31, 1998 totaled $462,661 and $271,589 respectively. Operating expenses
consisted largely of audit fees, fees of Citibank as Trustee and fees paid to
the Branch under the Services Agreement.

         The Company's net income for the year ended December 31, 1999 was
$57,685,365 and for the year ended December 31, 1998 it was $53,432,185. As of
December 31, 1999, the Company had declared and paid dividends as follows:

       Security                       Amount                Date Paid
-----------------------------       -----------         ------------------
Series A Preferred Securities       $19,345,000         June 5, 1999
                                    $19,345,000         December 5, 1999

Common Securities                    $8,454,284         June 15, 1999
                                    $10,352,672         December 15, 1999


         These amounts were paid from the Company's retained earnings generated
from net income for the period from December 1, 1998 to November 30, 1999.

SFAS 125 Receivable and Obligation

         Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) 125, transfers
of financial assets that do not meet certain sale accounting requirements must
be accounted for as a secured borrowing transaction with a pledge of collateral.
Due to the potential consequences of a Shift Event, the Company's purchase of
the Initial Portfolio (as defined in Item 1 herein) from the Branch did not meet
certain SFAS 125 sale accounting requirements. Accordingly, the Company recorded
at December 5, 1997 a receivable for the consideration paid to the Branch for
the Initial Portfolio treated as collateral. Since the Company has the right to
sell and pledge the securities in the Initial Portfolio treated as collateral,
in applying SFAS 125 the Company recognized the securities in the Initial
Portfolio as assets and recorded at December 5, 1997 a related obligation to
return them to the Branch. As a legal and economic matter, however, there is no
such receivable or obligation since (a) neither the Bank nor the Branch has any
obligation to repay any part of the purchase price for the Initial Portfolio or
to repurchase or redeem any of the securities included therein, and (b) the
Company has no obligation to return any of such securities to the Bank or the
Branch (except in the limited circumstances and to the extent that the
occurrence of a Shift Event (Defined herein Item 8, Note 2) under the Charter
would require the transfer of any assets held by the Company at the time). As
the securities in the Initial Portfolio are paid, the receivable will be deemed
to be realized and the obligation will be reduced, each by an amount
corresponding to the amount of the payments received. At December 31, 1999 and
December 31,1998, respectively, the receivable arising from payment for
securities amounted to $238,038,499 and $521,643,688 and the obligation arising
from the receipt of securities amounted to $233,056,327 and $529,905,305 . (The
difference between the amounts of the receivable and the obligation result from
a requirement to mark the obligation to market in parallel with the related
securities). The decrease in the amount of such receivable and such obligation
between the two dates reflects the prepayment of securities in the Initial
Portfolio. The Company recognized the cash proceeds of such prepayments as a
reduction in the receivable and concurrently reduced the associated obligation.
Such decreases in the receivable and the obligation did not affect the Company's
results of operations or cash flow. Such transactions are accounted for as a
purchase under SFAS 125.

Year 2000 Issue

         The potential Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs that
were designed using coding that defined the applicable year with two digits
rather than four. Such coding may prevent many of these programs from
distinguishing the year 2000 from 1900. This "Year 2000 Issue" may affect
computer systems that include, but are not limited to, those imbedded in
business data processing systems, management and planning systems and
communications systems. Systems that do not properly recognize dates on or after
January 1, 2000 could generate erroneous data or fail. The Company uses the
Branch's hardware and software for all of its operations. Failure to be Year
2000 compliant could result in major disruptions of the operations of the Branch
and thus the Company.

Through February 2, 2000, the amounts incurred by the Branch related to the
assessment of, and efforts in connection with, the Year 2000 and the development
and execution of a remediation plan have approximated $1,247,500. The Branch's
total remaining Year 2000 project cost as of February 2, 2000 is estimated at
approximately $32,500.

Nothing has come to the Branch's attention, which would cause it to believe that
its Year 2000 compliance effort was not successful. While the Branch will
continue to monitor for Year 2000 related problems, to date no significant Year
2000 issues have been encountered.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The objective of liquidity management is to ensure the availability of
sufficient cash flows to meet all of the Company's financial commitments. The
Company's sole liquidity needs are to acquire reinvestment securities as
original securities repay or prepay and to pay dividends on the Series A
Preferred Securities. The acquisition of reinvestment securities is funded with
the proceeds of principal repayments or prepayments on original securities, and
the payments of dividends on the Series A Preferred Securities are funded
through interest income from the securities in the Portfolio. Given the limited
scope of its activities (acquiring and holding Eligible Securities to fund the
payment of dividends on the Series A Preferred Securities and the Common
Securities), and the fact that the Company is prohibited from incurring
indebtedness, the Company believes that its liquidity and capital resources will
be sufficient to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and long term.

Recent Development Regarding the Bank

         Pursuant to two tender offers conducted recently, BNP has acquired
control of Paribas. In the first tender offer which closed on August 6, 1999,
BNP acquired 64.99% of Paribas' shares, and in the second tender offer which
closed on October 21, 1999, BNP increased its shareholding in Paribas to 96.26%.
After a public buyout offer as of January 31, 2000, the shareholding increased
to 98.90%.

         BNP Paribas Group total and Tier 1 capital ratios at December 31, 1999
were 9.50% and 6.61%.

Item 7A:    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

Interest Rate Sensitivity

         The Company's principal market risk exposure is to changes in interest
rates. This exposure arises from its investments in collateralized mortgage
obligations, mortgage backed securities, Agency Debentures, and certain
derivative instruments used by the Company to modify interest rate exposures.

         The outstanding principal amount and estimated fair value as of
December 31, 1999, by each category of investment is set forth in Footnote 4 of
the financial statements contained in Item 8 herein.

Interest Rate Risk

         The Company's income consists primarily of interest payments on
collateralized mortgage obligations, Mortgage-Backed Securities, Agency
Debentures and Treasuries. Currently, the Company uses derivative products to
manage a portion of its interest rate risk.

         Due to a moderate increase in market interest rates, as occurred
throughout 1999, the Company experienced a stabilization/increase in interest
income on its collateralized mortgage obligations and its Mortgage-Backed
Securities. The increase in interest income resulted from upward adjustments of
the indices upon which the interest rates on floating rate mortgage loans are
based.

The Company is a party to fourteen interest rate swaps with BNP. In all of these
swaps the Company pays a fixed coupon and receives floating rate payments on the
notional balances (in thousands) as set out below:

         The Company regularly reviews its hedging requirements. In the future,
the Company expects to enter into additional swaps, unwind part or all of the
initial and any future swaps in order to rebalance the fixed and floating mix of
interest obligations (including those arising as a result of previous interest
rate swaps entered into) and the fixed and floating mix of interest payments.

         The Company's interest rate management strategy will continue to be
rebalanced with any purchase of new investments. There can be no assurance,
however, that the Company's interest rate risk management strategies will be
effective in this regard.

The breakdown of the Company's available-for-sale securities by category and
weighted average life distribution (stated in terms of amortized cost) is
summarized below ($ in thousands) based on management's prepayment assumptions:

                        Report of Independent Accountants

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of BNP U.S. Funding L.L.C.

         In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets and the related
statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in redeemable common
securities, preferred securities and securityholders' equity and of cash flows
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BNP U.S.
Funding L.L.C. (the "Company") at December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company'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, 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 the opinion expressed above.

NOTE 1--ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

         BNP U.S. Funding L.L.C. (the "Company") is a Delaware limited liability
company formed on October 14, 1997 for the purpose of acquiring and holding
Eligible Securities (as defined in Item 1 herein) that will generate net income
for distribution to the holders of its Series A Preferred Securities (as defined
below) and its redeemable Common Securities (as defined below). The Company is a
wholly owned subsidiary of the New York Branch (the "Branch") of Banque
Nationale de Paris (the "Bank" or "BNP"). BNP is a French corporation that
conducts retail banking activities in France and corporate and private banking
and other financial activities both in France and throughout the world.

         The Company was initially capitalized on October 14, 1997 with the
issuance to the Branch of one share of the Company's redeemable common
securities, $10,000 par value (the "Common Securities"). On December 5, 1997
(inception), the Company commenced operations concurrent with the issuance of
50,000 noncumulative preferred securities, Series A, liquidation preference
$10,000 per security, (the "Series A Preferred Securities") to qualified
institutional buyers, and the issuance of 53,011 Common Securities to the
Branch. These issuances raised in the aggregate $1,030,115,873 of net capital
(including $5,873 of additional paid in capital). This entire amount was used to
acquire from the Branch a portfolio of debt securities (including accrued
interest) at their fair values (the "Initial Portfolio").

         The accounting and financial reporting policies of the Company conform
to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and current industry practices.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and revenues during the
reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Investment Securities

         Investments in debt securities, both collateral and noncollateral (Note
3), are classified as available for sale and are carried at fair value.
Unrealized gains and losses on these securities are reported as a component of
other comprehensive income.

         Interest on securities is included in interest income and is recognized
using the interest method. Premiums and discounts are amortized using the
effective interest method and are recognized in interest income.

Comprehensive Income

         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income," requires the Company to report items of other
comprehensive income by their nature in a financial statement and display the
accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately in Total Redeemable
Common Securities, Preferred Securities and Securityholders' Equity.
Comprehensive income includes net income, as reported, as well as the change in
unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities and in the
obligation arising from the receipt of securities, pursuant to the application
of SFAS 125.

Cash And Cash Equivalents

         Cash and cash equivalents includes cash and short-term deposits with
original maturities of three months or less.

Dividends

         Dividends on the Series A Preferred Securities, when, as and if
declared by the Company's Board of Directors, are payable out of the Company's
net income, determined without regard to capital gains or losses, semi-annually
in arrears on a non-cumulative basis on the fifth day of June and December of
each year, commencing June 5, 1998, at a rate per annum of 7.738% of the
liquidation preference through and including December 5, 2007. Thereafter,
dividends, when, as and if declared by the Company's Board of Directors, will be
payable quarterly in arrears on the third Wednesday of March, June, September,
and December of each year and will be calculated on a weekly basis in each
quarter at a rate per annum of the liquidation preference equal to 2.8% per
annum above one-week LIBOR for the week concerned as determined on the related
LIBOR Determination Date. Holders of Common Securities are entitled to receive
dividends when, as and if declared by the Company's Board of Directors out of
the Company's net income not required to be applied to fund dividends with
respect to the Series A Preferred Securities.

         To date, the Company has declared and paid dividends as follows:

</TABLE>


         If the Bank's financial condition were to deteriorate with the
consequence that a Shift Event (as defined below) were to occur, substantially
all of the Common Securities would be redeemed automatically without prior
redemption of the Series A Preferred Securities and dividends payable on each
Series A Preferred Security could be substantially reduced or completely
eliminated. In addition, if the Bank's Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio were to
decline below the minimum percentage required by French banking regulations
(currently 4%), the Company would pay a special dividend consisting of all of
the Company's net assets (other than assets having a total market value of
approximately $40 million) to the Bank as holder of the Common Securities.

         A "Shift Event" would be deemed to have occurred if (i) the Bank's
total risk-based capital ratio or Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio were to
decline below the minimum percentages required by French banking regulations,
(ii) the Bank were to become subject to certain specified receivership
proceedings or (iii) the French Banking Commission (Commission bancaire), in its
sole discretion, were to notify the Bank and the Company that it has determined
that the Bank's financial condition was deteriorating such that either of the
foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) would apply in the near term. French banking
regulations currently require French banks to maintain a minimum total
risk-based capital ratio of at least 8.0% and a minimum Tier 1 risk-based
capital ratio of at least 4.0%.

         The Company may not pay dividends or make other distributions on the
Common Securities or the Series A Preferred Securities if, after giving effect
to the distributions, the Company's liabilities would exceed the fair value of
its assets. Additionally, as long as any Series A Preferred Securities are
outstanding, except during a Shift Period (i.e., following the occurrence of a
Shift Event causing a shift in dividend preference and before the termination
thereof), the amount of dividends on the Common Securities in any fiscal year
may not exceed the amount by which the net income of the Company for such fiscal
year exceeds the stated dividends on the Series A Preferred Securities scheduled
to be paid during such fiscal year irrespective of whether dividends on the
Series A Preferred Securities are in fact declared and paid. Additionally, other
than during a Shift Period, no dividends may be declared, paid or set apart for
payment on the Common Securities (a) with respect to any period of time included
in any Dividend Period unless full dividends have been or contemporaneously are
declared and paid, or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof is
set apart for such payment on the Series A Preferred Securities for the
then-current Dividend Period and (b) the Company may not declare, pay or set
apart funds for any dividends or other distributions with respect to any Common
Securities unless and until (x) full dividends on the Series A Preferred
Securities for the two most recent preceding Dividend Periods are declared and
paid, or declared and a sum sufficient for payment has been paid over to the
dividend disbursing agent for payment of such dividends and (y) the Company has
declared a cash dividend on the Series A Preferred Securities at the annual
dividend rate for the then-current Dividend Period, and sufficient funds have
been paid over to the dividend disbursing agent for payment of such cash
dividends for such then-current Dividend Period.

Net Income Per Redeemable Common Security

         Net income per redeemable common security is calculated by dividing net
income after preferred dividends by the weighted average number of Common
Securities outstanding.

Income Taxes

         The Company expects to be treated as a partnership for U.S. Federal
income tax purposes. As a partnership is not a taxable entity, the Company will
not be subject to U.S. federal, state and local income tax on its income.
Instead, each securityholder is required to take into account its allocable
share of items of income, gain, loss and deduction of the partnership in
computing its U.S. Federal tax liability. Accordingly, the Company has made no
provision for income taxes in the accompanying statement of income.

Derivatives Used In Asset Management Activities

         As part of its asset management activities the Company uses foreign
exchange and interest rate swaps to modify the interest rate and foreign
exchange characteristics of existing assets. The swaps are highly correlated to
the asset which they hedge, both at inception and throughout the hedge period.

         These swaps are carried at fair value. The accrual of interest
receivable or interest payable on these swaps are reported in Interest Income:
Agency Debentures and Agency DUSs. Changes in the market values of these swaps,
exclusive of net interest accruals, are reported in Stockholders' Equity:
Accumulated other comprehensive income.

Foreign Currency Translation

         Assets denominated in foreign currencies are translated to US dollars
using applicable rates of exchange. The entire change in the fair value of
foreign currency denominated investment securities classified as available for
sale (both the change in the market price of the security as expressed in US
Dollars and the change in the exchange rate between the assets denominated in
foreign currencies and the functional currency), together with the effects of
hedging instruments, is reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
within Stockholders' Equity. Revenues and expenses are translated monthly at
amounts which approximate weighted average exchange rates.

Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities

In June of 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 133
"Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"), which
establishes accounting and reporting standards for all derivative instruments
and hedging activities. SFAS 133 requires that an entity measure all hedging
activities. SFAS 133 requires that an entity measure all derivatives at fair
value and recognize those derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the
balance sheet. The change in the derivative's fair value is generally to be
recognized in current period earnings. However, if certain conditions are met, a
derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge of an exposure to changes
in fair value, variability of cash flows, or certain foreign currency exposures.
Based on the hedge designation, special hedge accounting rules would allow the
derivative's change in value to be recognized either in current period earnings,
together with the offsetting change in value of the risk being hedged or to the
extent the hedge is effective, in comprehensive income and subsequently
reclassified into earnings when the hedge item affects earnings. Depending on
the underlying risk management strategy, these accounting changes could affect
reported earnings, assets, liabilities, and stockholders' equity. As a result,
the Company will have to reconsider their risk management strategies, since the
new standard will not reflect the results of many of those strategies in the
same manner as current accounting practice. The Company is in the process of
evaluating the potential impact of the new accounting standard. SFAS 133 is
effective for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The original
effective date for the implementation of SFAS 133 has been amended by the
issuance of SFAS 137, entitled Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging
Activities- Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133. Thus, SFAS
133 is effective for all fiscal quarters beginning after June 15, 2000.


NOTE 3--RECEIVABLE ARISING FROM PAYMENT FOR SECURITIES, PURSUANT TO THE
APPLICATION OF SFAS 125, AND OBLIGATION ARISING FROM THE RECEIPT OF SECURITIES,
PURSUANT TO THE APPLICATION OF SFAS 125:

         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 125 "Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities"
("SFAS 125") governs the accounting for the transfer of financial assets. Under
SFAS 125, transfers of financial assets that do not meet certain sale accounting
requirements must be accounted for as a secured borrowing transaction with a
pledge of collateral.

         Due to the potential consequences of a Shift Event (as described
above), the Company's purchase of the Initial Portfolio from the Branch did not
meet certain SFAS 125 sale accounting requirements. Therefore, the purchase of
the Initial Portfolio has been accounted for as a secured borrowing transaction
with a pledge of collateral. In accounting for this transaction as a secured
borrowing transaction in accordance with SFAS 125, the Company has recorded a
receivable in an amount equal to the remaining amount paid to the Branch to
acquire the Initial Portfolio. In this case, however, having delivered the
securities in the Initial Portfolio to the Company, neither the Branch nor BNP
has any further obligation to the Company to repay any part of the purchase
price for the Initial Portfolio or otherwise to repurchase or redeem any
securities in the Initial Portfolio.

         Other provisions of SFAS 125 govern the accounting for financial assets
treated as collateral that an entity has the right to sell or repledge. In
accordance with such provisions, the Company has recognized the securities in
the Initial Portfolio and recorded a related obligation. In this case, the
Company has in fact no obligation to return any such securities to the Branch or
to BNP, except to the extent that the consequences of a Shift Event (as
described above) might affect securities still held by the Company at the time.

         As securities within the Initial Portfolio mature or prepay, the
Company recognizes the cash proceeds as a reduction in a receivable arising from
payment for securities. Concurrent with the receipt of such cash proceeds, the
Company derecognizes such securities and reduces the associated obligation.

         The obligation arising from the receipt of securities is stated at the
fair value of the related securities. Changes in the value of the obligation due
to corresponding changes in the fair value of the related securities are
reported as an element of other comprehensive income.

</TABLE>


         For the period December 31, 1998 to December 31, 1999, the Company sold
its entire position of $145 Million Treasury Notes. There were no sales during
1998.

NOTE 5--REDEEMABLE COMMON SECURITIES:

General

         The Company is authorized to issue up to 150,000 Common Securities; as
of December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, the Company had outstanding 53,011
Common Securities, all of which were held by the Branch. The Bank has agreed
with the Company in the Contingent Support Agreement that, so long as any Series
A Preferred Securities are outstanding, it will maintain direct or indirect
ownership of 100% of the outstanding Common Securities.

Dividends

         Holders of Common Securities are entitled to receive dividends when, as
and if declared by the Company's Board of Directors out of the Company's net
income not required to be applied to fund dividends with respect to the Series A
Preferred Securities; provided that so long as any Series A Preferred Securities
are outstanding, no dividends or other distributions (including redemptions and
purchases) may be made with respect to the Common Securities unless full
dividends on all Series A Preferred Securities have been paid for the current
and the two immediately preceding Dividend Periods (except during a Shift Period
if the Bank does not distribute dividends on its common stock).

Redemption Requirements

         If the Bank's financial condition were to deteriorate with the
consequence that a Shift Event were to occur, substantially all the Common
Securities would be redeemed automatically without prior redemption of any
Series A Preferred Securities.

Voting Rights

         Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of Series A Preferred
Securities (in particular the right to remove and replace any Independent
Director and to elect an additional director, in certain circumstances), all
voting rights are vested in the Common Securities. The Holders of Common
Securities are entitled to one vote per security.

Rights Upon Liquidation

         In the event of the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the
Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, after there shall have been paid or
set aside for the holders of all Series A Preferred Securities the full
preferential amounts to which such holders are entitled, the holders of Common
Securities will be entitled to share equally and ratably in any assets remaining
after the payment of all debts and liabilities. Upon a liquidation of the
Company during a Shift Period, the Common Securities will have a preference over
the Series A Preferred Securities to the extent, if any, that the liabilities of
the Bank (including any debt instruments, such as titres participatifs and prets
participatifs) have not been paid in full.

NOTE 6--RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

         The Company entered into a Services Agreement with the Branch on
December 5, 1997 pursuant to which the Branch manages the securities portfolio
of the Company and performs other administrative functions. Expenses incurred
under such Agreement were $250,000 as of December 31, 1999 and $50,000 as of
December 31, 1998. While the amount of the fee payable under the Agreement is
somewhat less than the fee which would be payable in an arm's length transaction
with a third party, Management does not believe that the difference is material.

         French American Banking Corporation (FABC), an affiliate of BNP, serves
as the dividend paying agent, registrar, and transfer agent with respect to the
Series A Preferred Securities. The Company paid FABC an up-front fee of $4,000
and will pay a fee of $4,000 per annum for these services.

         The Company maintains a credit balance account with the Branch for
clearing certain transactions.

         All of the Company's officers and employees and all but one of the
members of the Company's Board of Directors are officers and employees of the
Branch or BNP.

NOTE 7--FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

         The fair values of securities at December 31,1999 and December 31, 1998
were obtained from independent market sources and are summarized in Note 4. The
carrying values of investment securities, as shown in Note 4, and the obligation
arising from the receipt of securities, pursuant to the application of SFAS 125,
approximates their fair value. The fair value of the receivable arising from
payment for securities, pursuant to the application of SFAS 125, approximates
the aggregate carrying value of the investment securities treated as collateral,
which at December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998 was $233,056,326 and
$529,905,305 respectively.

         The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable,
accrued interest receivable, accrued expenses, and due to affiliates
approximates fair value.

         The fair value of the interest rate swaps described in Note 8 below at
December 31, 1999 was $10,367,233 and $1,243,783 at December 31, 1998.

NOTE 8--DERIVATIVE ACTIVITY:

         In order to modify the interest rate and foreign exchange
characteristics of a portion of its assets, the Company engaged in derivative
activities by entering into interest rate swaps. The assets to which the swaps
relate consist of foreign currency-denominated debt instruments with fixed rate
interest payments. The Company entered into swaps primarily based on LIBOR, in
order to convert fixed rate foreign-currency denominated interest payments on
such assets into variable rate U.S. dollar payments. At December 31, 1999, the
Company had outstanding swap agreements with a notional principal amount of
$453,107,327.
