1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of The Bear Stearns Companies Inc. and
its subsidiaries (the "Company") and have been prepared
pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules
and regulations. The consolidated financial statements
reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management,
are normal and recurring and are necessary for a fair
statement of the results for the interim periods presented.
All material intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated. The nature of the Company's business is
such that the results of any interim period may not be
indicative of the results to be expected for a full fiscal
year. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified
to conform with the current period's presentation.
2. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - AT FAIR VALUE
Financial instruments owned and financial instruments sold,
but not yet purchased, consist of the Company's proprietary
trading and investment accounts, at fair value, as follows
(in thousands):

unsecured letters of credit of approximately $535,400,000

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES - (continued)
In the normal course of its business, the Company enters into
transactions in a variety of financial instruments in order
to meet the financing and hedging needs of its customers, to
reduce its own exposure to market, currency and interest rate
risks and in connection with its proprietary market-making
and trading activities. These financial instruments include
forward and futures contracts, interest rate swaps and the
writing of options, including interest rate caps and floors.
The settlement of these transactions is not expected to have
a material effect on the consolidated financial condition of
the Company.
In the normal course of business, the Company has been named
as a defendant in several lawsuits which involve claims for
substantial amounts. Although the ultimate outcome of these
suits cannot be ascertained at this time, it is the opinion
of management, after consultation with counsel, that the
resolution of such suits will not have a material adverse
effect on the results of operations or the financial
condition of the Company.
4. NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
The Company's principal operating subsidiary, Bear, Stearns
& Co. Inc. ("Bear Stearns") and Bear Stearns' wholly-owned
subsidiary, Bear, Stearns Securities Corp. ("BSSC"), are
registered broker-dealers and, accordingly, are subject to
Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c3-1 (the "Net
Capital Rule") and the capital rules of the New York Stock
Exchange, Inc. ("NYSE") and other principal exchanges of
which Bear Stearns and BSSC are members. Bear Stearns and
BSSC have consistently operated in excess of the minimum net
capital requirements imposed by the capital rules. Included
in the computation of net capital of Bear Stearns, is net
capital of BSSC in excess of 5% of aggregate debit items
arising from customer transactions, as defined. At March 25,
1994, Bear Stearns' net capital of $842,663,016, exceeded the
minimum requirement by $820,293,094.
Bear, Stearns International Limited ("BSIL"), and Bear
Stearns International Trading Limited ("BSIT") wholly-owned
London-based subsidiaries, are subject to regulatory capital
requirements of the Securities and Futures Authority. BSIL
and BSIT have consistently operated in excess of these
requirements.

5. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share is computed by dividing net income
applicable to common shares by the weighted average number of
shares of Common Stock and common stock equivalents
outstanding during each period presented. Common stock
equivalents include the assumed distribution of shares of
Common Stock issuable under certain of the Company's deferred
compensation arrangements with appropriate adjustments made
to net income for earnings accruals related thereto.
Additionally, shares of Common Stock issued or issuable under
various employee benefit plans are included as common stock
equivalents.
6. CASH FLOW INFORMATION
Cash payments for interest approximated interest expense for
the nine months ended March 25, 1994 and March 26, 1993,
respectively. Income taxes paid totaled $255,073,831 and
$126,736,000 for the nine months ended March 25, 1994 and
March 26, 1993, respectively. Noncash financing activities
Resolved, that Section 6.5 of The Bear Stearns Companies
Inc. Management Compensation Plan (as amended and restated as of
July 1, 1993) be, and hereby, is amended in its entirety to read as
follows:
The aggregate Bonuses awarded for any year
shall not exceed the Annual Bonus Pool for
such year, including amounts awarded to
participants who were not voting members of
the Executive Committee for the entire fiscal
year. In any fiscal year, any balance in the
Annual Bonus Pool attributable to a forfeiture
of Bonus under Section 6.2 as a result of a
Participant ceasing to be a voting member of
the Executive Committee during such year shall
not be distributed to other Participants and
shall not be carried forwarded or be
available for distribution as Bonuses under
the Plan in a future year or years.
