ELMWOOD FUNDING LIMITED
Notes to the financial statements
30 June 1997

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1 ORGANISATION

  ELMWOOD FUNDING LIMITED (the "Company") was incorporated under the Companies
  Law (Revised) of the Cayman Islands on 17 September 1996 as an exempted
  company. The Company's operations consist solely of fulfilling its obligations
  as depositor, relating to the issue of Bond-backed Investment Certificates
  (the "certificates") offered through, and which represent in the aggregate,
  the entire beneficial ownership in a trust (the "Trust") formed pursuant to
  the Trust Agreement dated as of 14 March 1997 between the Company and the
  United States Trust Company, as trustee. The second series of certificates,
  Series 1997-DuPont, were issued on 12 May 1997, pursuant to a Series
  Supplement to the Trust Agreement dated 12 May 1997. The third series of
  certificates, Series 1997-DuPont-2, were issued on 16 June 1997, pursuant to a
  Series Supplement to the Trust Agreement dated 16 June 1997

  The Company has thus surrendered to the Trust all future economic interests in
  both the certificates issued and the underlying securities by which they are
  collateralised. According to the terms of the trust agreements, the holders of
  the certificates can look only to the related collateral held by the Trust for
  repayment of both principal and interest. The certificates do not represent a
  recourse obligation or interest in the Company and in accordance with United
  States generally accepted accounting principles the certificates and related
  collateral are not reflected in the accompanying statement of financial
  condition.

  Each series of certificates represents the entire beneficial ownership
  interest in a publicly issued fixed income debt security issued pursuant to an
  effective registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange
  Commission, or in a debt security issued, or directly and fully guaranteed or
  insured, by the Government of the United States of America, or by any of
  certain specified entities controlled or supervised by and acting as an
  instrumentality of the Government of the United States of America and exempt
  from the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by reason of Section 3(a)(2)
  thereof, or another Federal Statute, or a pool of such debt securities
  together with other assets designed to assure the service or timely
  distribution of payments to holders of the certificates. These underlying
  securities are deposited in a trust for the benefit of holders of certificates
  of such series.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   These unaudited financial statements are prepared in accordance with United
   States generally accepted accounting principles.  The following are the
   significant accounting policies adopted by the Company:

   FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
   The only financial instruments held by the Company are sundry receivables and
   payables where carrying value approximates the fair value.

   USE OF ESTIMATES

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States
   generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
   estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
   liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
   of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could
   differ from those estimates

3  FEES AND EXPENSES

   All ongoing fees of the Company are met by the holders of the Retained
   Interest and distributed by the trusts (see Note 6). Therefore, these
   expenses are not included in the statement of operations.

4  INVESTMENTS

   The Company purchased US$16,500,000, nominal value, of the US$300,000,000
   8.25% notes due 15 September 2006 issued by EI du Pont de Nemours and Company
   which were transferred to the Trust as collateral for the 1997-DuPont series
   of bond backed investment certificates issued by the Trust. The Company
   purchased a further US$10,250,000, nominal value, of the US$300,000,000 8.25%
   notes due 15 September 2006 issued by EI du Pont de Nemours and Company which
   were transferred to the Trust as collateral for the 1997-DuPont-2 series of
   bond backed investment certificates issued by the Trust. The transfer
   extinguished all amounts due to the Trust by the Company and fulfilled its
   obligation as depositor pursuant to the Trust Agreement.

   of the retained interest to the above premium is equal in priority to the

   underlying securities.

   accordance with the terms of the Trust and those outlined in the related
   Prospectus Supplements dated 12 May 1997 and 16 June 1997, the options,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED)

The Company has surrendered to the Trust all future economic interests in both
the certificates issued and the underlying securities by which they are
collateralised.   According to the terms of the trust agreements, the holders of
the certificates can look only to the related collateral held by the Trust for
repayment of both principal and interest. The certificates do not represent a
recourse obligation or interest in the Company.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

In fulfilling its obligations as depositor and pursuant to the Trust Agreement,
the Company has no future economic interest or obligation in relation to the
certificates issued or the underlying securities transferred to the Trust.
Accordingly no income or expenses have been incurred through the operations of
the Company.

All ongoing fees of the Company are met by the holders of the Retained Interest
and distributed by the trusts.  Therefore, these expenses are not included in
the statement of operations.
