                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  June 30, 1998
                                   (unaudited)

(in U.S. dollars)


1)       Incorporation and nature of operations

         NB Capital Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of
         Maryland on August 20, 1997. The Company's principal business is to
         acquire, hold, finance and manage mortgage assets. The Company issued,
         through an Offering Circular dated August 22, 1997, $300 million of
         preferred stock and simultaneously, National Bank of Canada, the parent
         company, made a capital contribution in the amount of $183 million. The
         Company used the aggregate net of proceeds of $477 million to acquire
         promissory notes of NB Finance, Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of
         National Bank of Canada.

2)       Significant accounting policies

         Financial statements

         The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting
         principles generally accepted in the United States of America and are
         expressed in U.S. dollars.

         Income taxes

         The Company upon filing its initial tax return will elect to be taxable
         as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue
         Code of 1986, as amended, and accordingly will generally not be liable
         for United States federal income tax to the extent that it distributes
         at least 95% of its taxable income to its stockholders, maintains its
         qualification as a REIT and complies with certain other requirements.

         Per share data

         Basic earnings per share with respect to the Company for the six-month
         period ended June 30, 1998 are computed based upon the weighted average
         number of common shares outstanding during the period. In February
         1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
         Financial Accounting Standard No. 128 "Earnings Per Share". This
         pronouncement specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure
         requirements for earnings per share. The Company has no outstanding
         securities which are dilutive under this pronouncement.

         Estimates

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
         principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
         management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
         amounts of assets and liabilities and

                             NB CAPITAL CORPORATION

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  June 30, 1998
                                   (unaudited)

(in U.S. dollars)

         disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
         financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
         during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
         estimates.

3)       Promissory Notes

         On September 3, 1997, the Company entered into loan agreements
         evidenced by promissory notes with NB Finance, Ltd., an affiliated
         company. The promissory notes are collateralized only by mortgage loans
         which are secured by residential first mortgages and insured by the
         Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation.

         The promissory notes consist of 16 notes with maturities ranging from
         August 1999 to July 2001, at rates ranging from 6.90% to 9.77%, with an
         average rate of approximately 8.40% per annum.

         These rates approximate market interest rates for loans of similar
         credit and maturity provisions and, accordingly, management believes
         that the carrying value of the promissory notes receivable approximates
         their fair value.

         Promissory notes as of March 31, 1997                  447,677,329
         Principal repayments                                    16,188,971

         Promissory notes as of June 30, 1998                   431,488,358
         ------------------------------------------------------------------

         The scheduled remaining principal repayments are as follows:

                         1998                           7,673,217
                         1999                          72,575,996
                         2000                         188,081,949
                         2001                         163,157,196

4)       Transactions with an affiliated company

         During the three-month and six-month period ended June 30, 1998, the
         Company earned interest from NB Finance, Ltd. in the amount of
         $9,193,356 and $18,665,657, respectively (see Note 3).

         The amount of $9,769,075 due from an affiliated company as of June 30,
         1998 represents interest and principal repayments due on the promissory
         notes.

5)       Transactions with the parent company

         In September 1997, the Company entered into agreements with National
         Bank of Canada in connection with the administration of the Company's
         operations. The agreements are as follows:

         Advisory agreement

         In exchange for a fee equal to $25,000 per year, payable in equal
         quarterly installments, National Bank of Canada will furnish advice and
         recommendations with respect to all aspects of the business and affairs
         of the Company. During the three-month and six-month period ended June
         30, 1998, fees of $6,250 and $12,500, respectively, were charged to the
         Company.

         Servicing agreement

         National Bank of Canada will service and administer the promissory
         notes and the collateralized mortgage loans and will perform all
         necessary operations in connection with such servicing and
         administration.

         National Bank of Canada will receive a monthly fee equal to one-twelfth
         (1/12) of 0.25% per annum of the aggregate outstanding balance of the
         collateralized mortgage loans as of the last day of each calendar
         month. For the three-month and six-month period ended June 30, 1998,
         the average outstanding balance of the collateralized mortgage loans
         were $547,293,499 and $555,474,003, respectively. During the
         three-month and six-month period ended June 30, 1998, fees of $393,452
         and $798,667, respectively, were charged to the Company.

         Custodian agreement

         National Bank of Canada will hold all documents relating to the
         collateralized mortgage loans. During the six-month period ended June
         30, 1998, no fee was charged to the Company.

Item 2.      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
             CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The Company's principal business objective is to acquire, hold, finance and
manage assets consisting of obligations secured by real property as well as
other qualifying REIT assets ("Mortgage Assets"). The Company will elect to be
taxable as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and,
accordingly, will generally not be liable for United States federal income tax
to the extent that it distributes at least 95% of its taxable income, subject to
certain adjustments, to its stockholders.

Results of operations:

The Company commenced its operations on August 20, 1997 and, accordingly, only
certain comparative information is available.

For the three-month and six-month period ended June 30, 1998, the Company
reported net income of $9,119,605 and $18,563,977, respectively. Revenues, which
were comprised entirely of interest income, were $9,755,547 and $19,675,583,
respectively, and expenses were $637,942 and $1,111,606, respectively. Since the
Company will elect to be taxable as a REIT, no income tax was recorded during
the period. In connection with the reversal of a provision for income taxes
previously reserved by the Company, a $2,000 recovery was recognized during the
three-month period ended June 30, 1998.

Ninety-five percent of revenues were derived from promissory notes (the "Initial
Mortgage Assets") issued by NB Finance, Ltd., an affiliated Company ("NB
Finance"). The Initial Mortgage Assets issued by NB Finance are collateralized
by mortgage loans which are secured by residential first mortgages and insured
by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (the "Initial Mortgage Loans"). The
balance of the revenues result from interest on bank deposits and securities
investment (i.e., US Treasury bills).

Expenses for the three-month period totalled $637,942 of which $399,702
represent servicing and advisory fees paid to National Bank of Canada, the
Company's direct parent (the "Bank") pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, dated
September 3, 1997, between the Bank and the Company (the "Servicing Agreement")
and the Advisory Agreement, dated September 3, 1997, between the Bank and the
Company (the "Advisory Agreement"), whereby the Bank perform all necessary
operations in connection with administering the Initial Mortgage Assets issued
by NB Finance and the Initial Mortgage Loans. Other fees include payment to the
transfer agent and external accounting fees.

On June 11, 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company declared dividends of,
in the aggregate, $6,270,330 on Preferred Stock (i.e., Adjustable Rate
Cumulative Senior Preferred Shares (the "Senior Preferred Shares") and 8.35 %
Noncumulative Exchangeable Preferred Stock, Series A (the "Series A Preferred
Shares")) and a dividend of $4,000,000 on Common Stock. Such dividends were paid
on June 30, 1998.

Item 2.      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
             CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Capital Resources and Liquidity:

The Company's revenues are derived from its Mortgage Assets. As of June 30,
1998, US$431 million of Initial Mortgage Assets issued by NB Finance were
over-collateralized by the C$750 million ($511 million) of Initial Mortgage
Loans. The Company believes that the amounts generated from the payment of
interest and principal on such Initial Mortgage Loans will provide more than
sufficient funds to make full payments with respect to the Initial Mortgage
Assets issued by NB Finance and that such payments will provide the Company with
sufficient funds to meet its operating expenses and to pay quarterly dividends
on the Senior Preferred Shares and the Series A Preferred Shares. To the extent
that the cash flow from its Mortgage Assets exceeds those amounts, the Company
will use the excess to fund the acquisition of additional Mortgage Assets and
make distributions on the Common Stock.

The Company does not require any capital resources for its operations and,
therefore, it is not expected to acquire any capital assets in the foreseeable
future.

As at June 30, 1998, the Company had combined cash resources and securities of
$37,630,906 which represent 7.9% of total assets compared to $20,003,943 or 4.2%
of total assets as at December 31, 1997. The increase in liquidity is
attributable to cash received in repayment of promissory notes. It is expected
that the Company will invest in additional Mortgage Assets when cash resources
reach 10% of total assets. The liquidity level is sufficient for the Company to
pay fees and expenses pursuant to the Servicing Agreement and the Advisory
Agreement.

The Company's principal short-term and long-term liquidity needs are to pay
quarterly dividends on the Senior Preferred Shares and the Series A Preferred
Shares, to pay fees and expenses of the Bank pursuant to the Servicing Agreement
and the Advisory Agreement, and to pay franchise fees and expenses of advisors,
if any, to the Company.

The Company does not have any indebtedness (current or long-term), other
material capital expenditures, balloon payment or other payments due on other
long-term obligations. No negative covenants have been imposed on the Company.
