BANK UNITED CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the
accounts of Bank United Corp. (the "Parent Company"), Bank United, a federal
savings bank (the "Bank"), and subsidiaries of both the Parent Company and the
Bank (collectively known as the "Company"). All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The majority of
the Company's assets and operations are derived from the Bank.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in
accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include
all disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition,
results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. All adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring
adjustments) that are necessary, in the opinion of management, for a fair
presentation of the interim financial statements have been included. The results
of operations for the three months ended December 31, 1999, are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year or any
other interim period. The interim financial information should be read in
conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in the
Company's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC").
Prior period Consolidated Financial Statements have been restated to include
the accounts of an entity that was acquired using the pooling of interests
method of accounting. Certain amounts within the accompanying unaudited
Consolidated Financial Statements and the related Notes have been reclassified
for comparative purposes to conform to the current presentation.
3. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income available
to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income
available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares
and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period.
Potentially dilutive common shares are computed using the treasury stock method.

Options to purchase 1,897,550 and 852,950 shares of common stock at
weighted-average exercise prices of $40.30 and $42.26 were excluded from the
computation of diluted EPS for the three months ended December 31, 1999 and
1998, because the options' exercise price was greater than the average market
price of the common stock.

BANK UNITED CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company will be required to issue shares of its common stock in August
2002 pursuant to purchase contracts outstanding. The maximum number of shares to
be issued under the purchase contracts is 2,671,120 and the minimum number is
2,225,940. These purchase contracts were not potentially dilutive and therefore
were not included in the computation of diluted EPS for the three months ended
December 31, 1999.
4. SUMMARY OF STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has granted stock options to certain employees and members of its
Board of Directors under incentive and compensation plans. See the Company's
1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional disclosures regarding these
options.

Higher levels of commercial loans outstanding during the current quarter
resulted in a 41% increase in the Commercial Banking income, year over year.
Costs associated with the 7-Day Banking center initiative were the primary cause
for lower Community Banking income in the current quarter. Higher levels of loan
sales in the year ago quarter resulted in a decrease in Mortgage Banking income.
Mortgage Banking assets increased during the current quarter as a result of

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
6. RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and for Hedging Activities," requires companies to
recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of
financial condition and to record those instruments at fair value. SFAS No. 133
requires that changes in fair value of a derivative be recognized currently in
earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Upon implementation
of SFAS No. 133, hedging relationships may be redesignated and securities held
to maturity may be transferred to available for sale or trading. SFAS No. 137,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the
Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133," deferred the effective date of SFAS
No. 133 to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company will adopt
SFAS No. 133 on October 1, 2000 and is evaluating the impact, if any, this
statement may have on its future Consolidated Financial Statements.
7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REVIEW REPORT
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Bank United Corp.:
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated statement of financial condition
of Bank United Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for
the three-month period then ended. These consolidated financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to
be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated statement of financial condition of Bank United
Corp. and subsidiaries as of September 30, 1999, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then
ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated October 26, 1999, we
expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In
our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated
statement of financial condition as of September 30, 1999, is fairly stated, in
all material respects, in relation to the consolidated statement of financial
condition from which it has been derived.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
DISCUSSION OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999
AND 1998
GENERAL
Net income was $31.8 million or $.87 per diluted share for the three months
ended December 31, 1999, compared to $27.4 million or $.83 per diluted share for
the three months ended December 31, 1998. Net interest income increased due to
higher levels of interest-earning assets, particularly commercial loans, and due
to an increase in the net yield on interest-earning assets ("net yield").
Expansion of the Community Banking and Commercial Banking businesses also
resulted in an increase in deposit fees and charges as well as higher
non-interest expenses. Net servicing fees increased due to higher levels of
servicing purchases. Gains on sales of single family loans are down due to a
decline in sales volume.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income was $99.7 million for the three months ended December 31,
1999, compared to $78.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 1998, a
$21.5 million or 27% increase. This increase was due to a $2.6 billion or 20%
increase in average interest-earning assets as well as a change in the
composition of the assets. The net yield increased 16 basis points to 2.60% for
the three months ended December 31, 1999.

BANK UNITED CORP.
Average interest-earning assets increased 20% to $15.6 billion during the
three months ended December 31, 1999, as compared to the three months ended
December 31, 1998, primarily due to a 57% increase in average commercial loans.
The increase in average interest-earnings assets was funded with deposits and
Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances. See "Discussion of Changes in
Financial Condition."
The net yield was 2.60% for the three months ended December 31, 1999,
compared to 2.44% for the three months ended December 31, 1998. During the three
months ended December 31, 1999, the Company's net interest income and gross
yields increased as a result of rate resets on its portfolio of adjustable-rate
loans. The increase in gross yields more than offset the rise in the costs of
funds, resulting in a 16 basis point increase in the net yield for the three
months ended December 31, 1999. An increase in the number of lower costing
transaction deposit accounts reduced the effect of rising market interest rates
on the cost of funds.
PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES
Management periodically evaluates each loan portfolio based on a variety of
factors in an effort to determine that the period end allowance for credit loss
level is adequate to cover probable losses. The allowance for credit losses
totalled $87.8 million or .62% of total loans at December 31, 1999, compared to
$82.7 million or .63% at September 30, 1999, and $52.7 million or .44% at
December 31, 1998. The provision for credit losses totalled $7.1 million for the
three months ended December 31, 1999, compared to $6.5 million for the three
months ended December 31, 1998.

Nonperforming loans may include loans on both accrual and nonaccrual status.
On a loan-by-loan basis, management may continue to accrue interest on loans
that are past due more than 90 days if management believes that the individual
loan is in the process of collection or renewal and the interest is fully
collectible. At December 31, 1999, the commercial nonperforming loan total
includes $1.3 million of loans that are greater than 90 days past due and still
accruing interest. At September 30, 1999, and December 31, 1998, there were no
loans greater than 90 days past due and still accruing interest included in the

At September 30, 1999, impaired loans included a $41.5 million secured loan
to a mortgage banking company. A principal payment was received on this loan
during the current quarter resulting in an outstanding loan balance of $7.2
million at December 31, 1999. The borrower is currently in Chapter 7 bankruptcy
proceedings. The Company believes it is adequately secured and reserved.
NON-INTEREST INCOME
Non-interest income totalled $33.3 million for the three months ended
December 31, 1999, which was consistent with the three months ended December 31,
1998. Increases in loan servicing fees and Community and Commercial Banking fees
were offset by lower gains on sales of single family loans.
Net loan servicing fees increased $2.1 million or 14% during the three
months ended December 31, 1999, compared to the three months ended December 31,
1998. The increase was due to a larger servicing portfolio and higher servicing
fees
12
BANK UNITED CORP.
received per loan. The portfolio of single family loans serviced for others
increased 19% to $27.5 billion at December 31, 1999, compared to $23.1 billion
at December 31, 1998. The portfolio's growth came from purchases during the
twelve month period, a large portion of which were Government National Mortgage
Association ("GNMA") securities. Loans included in GNMA securities generally
yield a higher servicing fee rate than conventional and other government related
servicing, thereby contributing to the increase in average servicing fees
earned. The annualized average service fee rate was 45.1 basis points for the
three months ended December 31, 1999, as compared to 40.4 basis points for the
three months ended December 31, 1998. During the current period, the impairment
reserve on the servicing portfolio was reduced by $1.4 million, bringing the
reserve to $3.4 million at December 31, 1999. The reduction in the reserve was a
result of the recent rise in market interest rates and the decline in prepayment
activity. The single family servicing portfolio totalled $32.5 billion at
December 31, 1999, including $5.0 billion serviced for the Company's own account
and $27.5 billion serviced for others.
Net gains from sales of single family loans and Small Business Administration
("SBA") loans and securities comprised the majority of the $4.6 million of gains
during the three months ended December 31, 1999, down $5.2 million from the
three months ended December 31, 1998. Gains on sales of single family loans
declined $6.3 million due to lower sales volume during the current period as
compared to the prior year period ($352.2 million sold in the current period
compared to $1.3 billion sold in the prior year period). Lower levels of
refinancings during the three months ended December 31, 1999 caused a reduction
in originations, contributing to the lower sales volume. SBA banking gains were
$1.9 million for the quarter, up 49% from the year ago quarter.
Deposit fees and charges increased $3.0 million or 63% to $7.9 million for
the three months ended December 31, 1999. The number of checking accounts
increased 29% over the prior year period to 239,000 at December 31, 1999. Growth
in the number of checking accounts came from the 7-Day Banking Centers opened in
Kroger stores during fiscal 1999, as well as the Midland acquisition. See
"-Discussion of Changes in Financial Condition - Deposits".
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
Non-interest expense was $69.3 million and $53.9 million for the three months
ended December 31, 1999 and 1998. Included in these amounts are litigation
expenses of $625,000 and $2.8 million related to the Company's Court of Claims
case against the federal government. See "Legal Proceedings". Excluding these
litigation expenses, non-interest expense for the three months ended December
31, 1999 and 1998, was $68.7 million and $51.1 million, for an increase of 34%.
This increase was due to the continued growth in all businesses of the Company,
most particularly the Community Bank and the Commercial Bank. During the twelve
months ended December 31, 1999, the Community Bank's retail branch network
expanded from 88 branch locations to 152. The Midland acquisition in February
1999, the 7-Day Banking Center initiative in April 1999, and the expansion of
the SBA banking initiative contributed to this growth. Costs associated with new
offices for commercial and wholesale lending and technology initiatives also
contributed to the increase. The Company's efficiency ratio, adjusted for the
Court of Claims expense, for the three months ended December 31, 1999 was 50.65%
compared to 44.78% for the year ago period.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE
The Company's effective income tax rate was 35.8% for the three months ended
December 31, 1999, as compared to 37.4% for the three months ended December 31,
1998. This reduction was principally a result of the issuance of certain
securities in August 1999. The dividends on these securities are deductible for
purposes of computing the Company's payments due in lieu of taxes that are paid
to the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation ("FSLIC") Resolution Fund.
DISCUSSION OF CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION FROM SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 TO DECEMBER
31, 1999
GENERAL
Total assets increased $1.1 billion or 7% to $17.4 billion at December 31,
1999, up from $16.2 billion at September 30, 1999, primarily due to growth in
the commercial loan portfolios. Higher asset levels were financed principally
with higher deposit levels.
13
BANK UNITED CORP.
Cash and securities purchased under agreements to resell and federal funds
sold are maintained for liquidity and short-term investment purposes. The
increase during the three months ended December 31, 1999 related to the
Company's preparation for potential customer cash demands at the end of the
year.
In connection with the Company's SBA business, $76.4 million of SBA loans
were securitized, of which $70.8 million were sold and $4.8 million of
interest-only strips were retained by the Company. During the three months ended
December 31, 1999, $2.6 billion of commercial paper was purchased and matured.
During the three months ended December 31, 1999, $55.4 million in MBS were
sold, contributing to the decline in this portfolio. Principal repayments of
$39.6 million were lower than repayments in the year ago period totalling $94.7
million due to a lower average balance outstanding and due to a decline in
payoffs during the current period. The net unrealized loss on securities
available for sale increased $6.1 million, before tax, principally due to the
rise in market interest rates during the current period.
During the current period, the Company continued to expand its commercial and
consumer lending lines of business, resulting in a change in mix as well as an
increase in the size of the total loan portfolio. At December 31, 1999,
commercial and consumer loans made up 49% of the total loan portfolio, as
compared to 46% at September 30, 1999.
The commercial loan portfolio increased $743.1 million or 14% during the
three months ended December 31, 1999. This growth was in part due to the
purchase of mortgage banker finance and consumer finance loans during the
current period. The multi-family and commercial real estate, healthcare, and
small business and SBA loan portfolios increased, primarily due to fundings,
during the three months ended December 31, 1999. The single family construction
loan portfolio remained stable during the three months ended December 31, 1999.
Single family construction loan fundings totalling $921.4 million were offset by
principal repayments.
Despite a decline in refinance activity, total single family loans increased
during the three months ended December 31, 1999. Refinancings represented 52% of
total originations for the current period, as compared to 81% for the prior year
period. The decrease in industry-wide refinancings resulted in a decline in
originations as well as lower repayments and lower sales volumes during the
three months ended December 31, 1999.
The increase in the consumer loan portfolio was primarily related to fundings
of home improvement and home equity loans.

Mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") increased $32.7 million during the three
months ended December 31, 1999, primarily due to purchases. During this period,
the Company purchased servicing rights associated with $2.1 billion in loans at
a cost of $43.1 million. At December 31, 1999, $2.0 billion of these loans had
not yet been transferred to the Company, and a resulting liability of $60.5
million was included in other liabilities, representing the amount withheld
until such loans transfer. The majority of these servicing rights are to be
transferred to the Company during the second quarter of fiscal 2000.
Additionally, $7.1 million of MSRs were created during the three months ended
December 31, 1999, through sales of $317.1 million of originated single family
loans.
The increase in other assets relates to unsettled sales of MBS during the
current period. These sales are expected to settle during the second quarter of
fiscal 2000. The decline in other liabilities relates to unsettled purchases of
MBS at September 30, 1999 that were subsequently settled during the current
period.
15
BANK UNITED CORP.
Transaction accounts, which include checking, savings, money market, and
escrow accounts, increased $145.0 million or 4% and certificates of deposit
increased $201.8 million or 6% during the three months ended December 31, 1999.
These increases are due to the continued growth in the Community Bank. Brokered
deposits increased to $925.8 million at December 31, 1999.
LIQUIDITY
The management of the Company's liquidity focuses on ensuring that sufficient
funds are available to meet loan funding commitments, withdrawals from deposit
accounts, the repayment of borrowed funds, and ensuring that the Bank complies
with regulatory liquidity requirements.
The Company's primary sources of liquidity are deposits, FHLB advances,
securities sold under agreements to repurchase, principal and interest payments
on loans and MBS, proceeds from the sale of loans and proceeds from the issuance
of debt and stock. While maturities and scheduled payments of loans and MBS are
predictable sources of funds, deposit outflows, loan sales and access to the
capital markets for issuance of securities are greatly influenced by economic
conditions and general interest rates.
Under the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") regulations, the Bank must
maintain, for each calendar quarter, an average daily balance of liquid assets
equal to at least 4.0% of either (1) its net withdrawable accounts plus
short-term borrowings (liquidity base), at the end of the preceding calendar
quarter or (2) the average daily balance of its liquidity base during the
preceding quarter. For the first quarter of fiscal 2000, the Bank's liquidity
ratio was 4.61%.
The primary source of funds for the Parent Company, excluding funds raised
through the capital markets, to meet its cash obligations and to make dividend
payments on its cumulative redeemable preferred stock and common stock has been
from dividends from the Bank, whose ability to pay dividends is subject to
regulations of the OTS and the terms of the preferred stock of the Bank. At
December 31, 1999, the Bank had $240.1 million of capital available for payment
of dividends without prior approval of the OTS. See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis - Capital Resources and Liquidity" in the Company's 1999 Annual Report
on Form 10-K.
REGULATORY MATTERS
The Bank is subject to regulatory capital requirements as defined in the OTS
capital regulations. The Bank's capital level at December 31, 1999 and September
30, 1999 qualified it as "well-capitalized", the highest of five tiers under
applicable regulatory definitions.

issuance of up to $830 million in various securities filed with the SEC (File
No. 333-75937 and File No. 333-83797).
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and
interest rates. The Company's principal market risk exposure is to changes in
interest rates. Interest rate risk arises primarily from timing differences in
the duration or repricing of the Company's assets, liabilities, and
off-balance-sheet financial instruments. The Company is most affected by changes
in U. S. Treasury rates and London InterBank Offered Rates ("LIBOR") because
many of the Company's financial instruments reprice based on these indices.
Substantial changes in these indices may adversely impact the
17
BANK UNITED CORP.
Company's earnings. To that end, management actively monitors and manages its
interest rate risk exposure. This effort is accomplished through structuring the
balance sheet and off-balance-sheet portfolios by seeking to maximize net
interest income while maintaining an acceptable level of risk to changes in
market interest rates. The achievement of this goal requires a balance between
profitability, liquidity, and interest rate risk. See discussion in "Business -
Market Risk Analysis" in the Company's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The following table represents an analysis of the changes inherent in the
Company's net interest income over a 12 month period and market value of
portfolio equity ("MVE") arising from hypothetical changes in market interest
rates. MVE is the market value of assets, less the market value of liabilities,
adjusted for the market value of off-balance-sheet instruments. The interest
rate scenarios presented in the table include interest rates at December 31,
1999 and September 30, 1999 and as adjusted by instantaneous parallel rate
changes upward and downward of up to 200 basis points. Each rate scenario has
unique prepayment, repricing, and reinvestment assumptions. Prepayments are
assumed to increase as rates decrease and to slow as rates increase.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On July 25, 1995 the Bank, the Parent Company, and Hyperion Partners LP
(collectively the "Plaintiffs") filed suit against the United States of America
in the United States Court of Federal Claims for alleged failures of the United
States (1) to abide by a capital forbearance that would have allowed the Bank to
operate for ten years under negotiated capital levels lower than the levels
required by the then existing regulations or successor regulations, (2) to abide
by its commitment to allow the Bank to count $110 million of subordinated debt
as regulatory capital for all purposes and (3) to abide by an accounting
forbearance that would have allowed the Bank to count as capital for regulatory
purposes, and to amortize over a period of twenty-five years, the $30.7 million
difference between certain FSLIC payment obligations to the Bank and the
discounted present value of those future FSLIC payments.
In March 1999, the United States Court of Federal Claims granted the
Company's motion for summary judgment on the issue of liability and held that
the United States was liable for claims in the case filed by the Plaintiffs. On
August 5, 1999, the Court denied a motion for summary judgment filed by the
United States of America on the issue of lost profits damages. The Company's
case proceeded to trial on the amount of damages on September 13, 1999, and the
taking of evidence by the Court was concluded on October 21, 1999. The parties
have now submitted post-trial briefs and the final oral argument was held on
February 7, 2000. A decision by the Court is expected in the first half of
calendar year 2000. The Plaintiffs' seek and offered evidence in support of
damages of approximately $560 million. The government argued that damages to
Plaintiffs as a result of the breach, if any, approached zero. The Company is
unable to predict the outcome of the Plaintiffs' suit against the United States
and the amount of judgment for damages, if any, that may be awarded. No
assurances can be given on the outcome of this case.
