INVESTMENT BANKING
- ------------------

The Company's Investment Banking Group provides a full range of
capital raising and financial advisory services to its clients. The Investment
Banking Group underwrites public offerings of securities and arranges private
placements and has a particular focus on capital raising transactions in the
public equity and high-yield debt markets.

The Company's investment banking strategy is to concentrate a major
portion of its business development efforts within those industries in which
the Company has established a leadership position in providing investment
banking services. Industry specialty groups include chemicals, energy,
entertainment, environmental, financial services, forest products, gaming,
health care, industrial, insurance, media/communications, oil and gas, real
estate finance, retailing, satellite, technology and utilities. These groups
are responsible for initiating, developing and maintaining client relationships
and for executing transactions involving these clients. The Investment Banking
Group has focused primarily on those industries in which the Company also has a
strong research capability. In addition to being structured according to
distinct industry groups, the Company has a number of professionals who
specialize in specific types of transactions. These include mergers and
acquisitions ("M&A"), equity offerings, high-yield securities and other
transaction specialties.

the public markets. The group assists in the origination, and is responsible
for the structuring and execution of transactions for a broad range of Banking

providing financing in the public and private capital markets. The group is
responsible for originating, structuring and executing high-yield transactions
across a wide range of companies and industries, as well as managing client

leveraged transactions. In 1997, for the fifth consecutive year, DLJ was the
number one ranked underwriter of high-yield bonds.

OTHER TRANSACTION SPECIALTIES. The Company is also active in a variety
of other transaction specialties, which provide capital raising and advisory
services for its clients. The private capital placements group raises capital
within the private debt and equity markets. Formed in 1994, the Company's
private fund group raises private capital, primarily from institutional
investors, for direct investment by venture capital, management buyout and
other investment firms, and for certain of the Company's merchant banking
activities. The private fund group raised over $11.0 billion in private capital
in 1997. The project finance group raises non-recourse financing for a diverse
client base of publicly and privately held companies for specific projects.
Additionally, the Company's restructuring group provides advisory services

to financially distressed companies. The Company also participates in the
structured finance industry through its asset-backed transactions group, and
specializes in securitizing cash flow generating assets through public or
private offerings of debt or pass-through certificates.

In 1997, the Company continued to expand its international investment
banking presence, acquiring a London based investment bank, Phoenix Group
Limited (Phoenix). Phoenix is an international financial advisory and
investment management business with offices in London and Hong Kong. It has two
principal operations, a corporate finance and advisory business and a private
equity fund management business investing in private securities. It also makes
investments as principal.

MERCHANT BANKING
- ----------------

The Company entered the merchant banking investment business in 1985
and believes that it has one of the most consistently successful records in
this area over the past 12 years. Through the Merchant Banking Group, the
Company has grown to become a major participant in the asset management
business by pursuing direct investments in a variety of industries and managing
capital provided primarily by pension funds, endowments, charitable
organizations, high-net-worth individuals, the Company and its employees. The
Merchant Banking Group is closely integrated with other parts of the Company
drawing upon all of its resources including debt and equity research and
high-yield financing as well as the industry specialty groups within the
Investment Banking Group.

The Merchant Banking Group manages eight distinct capital funds with
total committed capital of approximately $8.0 billion. These funds include DLJ
Merchant Banking Partners, L.P. and DLJ Merchant Banking Partners II, L.P.

additional areas of investment.

LEVERAGED EQUITY INVESTING. In 1992, the Company established DLJ
Merchant Banking Partners, L.P., a dedicated $1 billion fund which includes
commitments of up to $300 million by the Company and its employees. Employee
participation ranges from approximately 30% to 40% of the Company's and its
affiliates' overall investment in each transaction. In 1996, the Company closed
the $3 billion DLJ Merchant Banking Partners II, L.P. fund. Over 25% of the
capital was committed by DLJ and its employees. The funds make investments in
equity and mezzanine securities arising from leveraged acquisitions and
recapitalizations, restructurings of over-leveraged companies and other similar
types of transactions, which generally involve significant financial leverage.
In keeping with the firm's international focus, the DLJ Merchant Banking
Partners II, L.P. fund invested approximately $100 million in companies in
Europe, South America and India.

DLJ BRIDGE FUND. The Company is the sponsor of the $1.25 billion DLJ
Bridge Fund which provides short-term loans in connection with DLJ's merchant
banking and financial advisory businesses. The Bridge Fund has a $750 million
commitment of subordinated debt from Equitable and $500 million of senior
revolving credit by a commercial bank syndicate, certain terms of which are
being renegotiated. Any loans made by the DLJ Bridge Fund would be expected to
be refinanced, and the outstanding amounts repaid, within a short-term period.
The Company has agreed to pay Equitable the first $25 million of aggregate
principal losses incurred by Equitable with respect to all bridge loans. To
the extent such payments by the Company do not fully cover any such losses
incurred by Equitable, Equitable is entitled to receive all other distributions
otherwise payable to the Company with respect to DLJ Bridge Fund activities
until such losses have been recovered. The Company has also agreed to pay
Equitable the amount, if any, by which any principal loss on an individual
loan exceeds $150 million. The DLJ Bridge Fund currently has one

individual bridge loan outstanding in excess of $150 million. Pursuant to
arrangements between the Company and the commercial bank syndicate, the Company
is at risk for a significant portion of any loans funded by such banks.
However, substantially all of the bridge loans have been made without using the
bank commitment. At December 31, 1997, the DLJ Bridge Fund had extended $565.1
million of short-term bridge loans which are expected to be refinanced in the
first quarter of 1998.

ASSET MANAGEMENT GROUP
- ----------------------

The Asset Management Group consists of DLJ Investment Management

COMPETITION
- -----------

The Company encounters significant competition in all aspects of the
securities business and competes worldwide directly with other domestic and
foreign securities firms, a number of which have greater capital, financial and
other resources than the Company. In addition to competition from firms
currently in the securities business, there has been increasing competition
from other sources, such as commercial banks and investment boutiques. As a
result of pending legislative and regulatory initiatives in the U.S. to remove
or relieve certain restrictions on commercial banks, it is anticipated that
competition in some markets currently dominated by investment banks may
increase in the near future. Such competition could also affect the Company's
ability to attract and retain highly skilled individuals to conduct its various
businesses. The principal competitive factors influencing the Company's
business are its professional staff, the firm's reputation in the marketplace,
its existing client relationships, the ability to commit capital to client
transactions and its mix of market capabilities. The Company's ability to
compete effectively in securities brokerage and investment banking activities
will also be influenced by the adequacy of its capital levels.

EMPLOYEES
- ---------

At December 31, 1997, the Company had approximately 7,000 employees.
Professional personnel receive salary as well as incentive compensation in the
form of bonus and, in certain instances, through long-term incentive and/or
other compensation plans. Most of the Company's securities sales force
personnel receive a percentage of their gross revenues or a percentage of a
specified revenue pool as compensation. Other employees receive a salary and,
in certain cases, overtime compensation and compensation in the form of profit
sharing. None of the Company's employees is represented by a labor union.

REGULATION
- ----------

The Company's business and the securities industry in general are
subject to extensive regulation in the U.S. at both the Federal and state
level, as well as by industry Self Regulatory Organizations ("SROs"). A number
of Federal regulatory agencies are charged with safeguarding the integrity of
the securities and other financial markets and with protecting the interests of
customers participating in those markets. The Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") is the Federal agency that is primarily
responsible for the regulation of broker-dealers and investment advisors doing
business in the U.S., and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") is
primarily responsible for the regulation of futures commission merchants. In
addition, the Department of the Treasury and the Municipal Securities
Rulemaking Board have the authority to promulgate regulations relating to U.S.
government and agency securities and to municipal securities, respectively, and
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System promulgates regulations
applicable to certain securities credit transactions. Broker-dealers and
investment advisers are subject to registration and regulation by state
securities regulators in those states in which they conduct business. Industry
SROs, each of which has authority over the firms that are its members, include
the NASD, the NYSE, and other securities exchanges, the National Futures
Association ("NFA") and the commodities exchanges. Certain of the Company's
international broker-dealer subsidiaries are subject to the regulatory
requirements of the non-U.S. securities financial regulatory authorities.

Each of DLJSC, Pershing Trading Company, L.P. ("Pershing Trading"),
DLJdirect and Autranet (collectively, the "U.S. Broker-Dealers") is registered
as a broker-dealer with the Commission and is a member of, and subject to
regulation by, a number of securities industry SROs, including the NYSE and the
NASD. Both DLJSC and Pershing Trading are, in addition to being NYSE members,
members of most other major U.S. securities exchanges. DLJSC is also registered
as a broker-dealer in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, as a futures
commission merchant with the CFTC, as an investment adviser with the Commission
and in certain states, is also designated a primary dealer in U.S. government
securities by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. In connection with its
business as a futures commission merchant, DLJSC is also a member of, and
subject to regulation by, the NFA and the Chicago Board of Trade ("CBOT").
Pershing Trading, Autranet and DLJdirect are registered as broker-dealers in a
number of states. Wood, Struthers & Winthrop Management Corp. and DLJ
Investment Partners, Inc. are registered with the Commission and, in certain
states as an investment adviser. The Company also has certain other direct and
indirect subsidiaries that are registered with the Commission and certain
states or with other regulatory authorities as broker-dealers or investment
advisers. Winthrop Trust Company is regulated by the New York State Banking
Department.

As a result of registration and SRO memberships, the U.S.
Broker-Dealers are subject to overlapping schemes of regulation, which cover
all aspects of their securities business. Such regulations cover matters
including capital requirements, the use and safekeeping of customers' funds and
securities, recordkeeping and reporting requirements, supervisory and
organizational procedures intended to assure compliance with securities laws
and rules of the SRO's and to prevent the improper trading on " material
nonpublic" information, employee-related matters, limitations on extensions of
credit in securities transactions, and clearance and settlement procedures. A
particular focus of the applicable regulations concerns the relationship
between broker-dealers and their customers. As a result, the U.S.
Broker-Dealers in some instances may be required to make "suitability"
determinations as to certain customer transactions, are limited in the amounts
that they may charge customers, cannot trade ahead of their customers and must
make certain required disclosures to their customers.

As investment advisers registered with the Commission, Wood, Struthers
& Winthrop Management Corp. and DLJSC are subject to the requirements of the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and the Commission's regulations thereunder.
Such requirements relate to, among other things, limitations on the ability of
investment advisers to charge performance-based or non-refundable fees to
clients, recordkeeping and reporting requirements, disclosure requirements,
limitations on principal transactions between an adviser or its affiliates and
advisory clients, as well as general anti-fraud prohibitions. The state
securities law requirements applicable to registered investment advisers are in
certain cases more comprehensive than those imposed under the Federal
securities laws.

DLJSC, as a registered futures commission merchant, is subject to the
capital and other requirements of the CFTC under the Commodity Exchange Act.
These requirements include the provision of certain disclosure documents,
prohibitions against trading ahead of customers and other fraudulent trading
practices, provisions as to the handling of customer funds and reporting and
recordkeeping requirements.

In addition to being regulated in the U.S., the Company's business is
subject to regulation by various foreign governments and regulatory bodies. The
Company does business in the international equity and fixed income markets and
undertakes investment banking activities through several of its London
subsidiaries. These broker-dealer subsidiaries are subject to regulation by the
SFA, which governs all aspects of a United Kingdom investment business,
including regulatory capital, sales and trading practices, use and safekeeping
of customer funds and securities, recordkeeping, margin practices and
procedures, registration standards for individuals, periodic reporting and
settlement procedures. In addition, the Company has broker-dealer subsidiaries
which are subject to regulation, including capital requirements, imposed by the
SFC of Hong Kong and the Ontario Securities Commission.

Additional legislation and regulations, including those relating to
the activities of affiliates of broker-dealers, changes in rules promulgated by
the Commission, the CFTC or other U.S. or foreign governmental regulatory
authorities and SRO's or changes in the interpretation or enforcement of
existing laws and rules may adversely affect the manner of operation and
profitability of the Company.

The Company's businesses may be materially affected not only by
regulations applicable to it as a financial market intermediary, but also by
regulations of general application. For example, the volume of the Company's
underwriting, merger and acquisition and merchant banking businesses in any
year could be affected by, among other things, existing and proposed tax
legislation, antitrust policy and other governmental regulations and policies
(including the interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve Board) and changes
in interpretation or enforcement of existing laws and rules that affect the
business and financial communities. From time to time, various forms of
anti-takeover legislation and legislation that could affect the benefits
associated with financing leveraged transactions with high-yield securities
have been proposed that, if enacted, could adversely affect the volume of
merger and acquisition and merchant banking business, which in turn could
adversely affect the Company's underwriting, advisory and trading revenues
related thereto.

The Company believes that it is in material compliance with the
regulations described herein.

In addition, several states, including New York, which is Equitable
Life's state of domicile, regulate transactions between an insurer and its
affiliates under insurance holding company acts. Under such laws and an
undertaking submitted by Equitable Life to the New York State Insurance
Department, certain transactions between the Company, on the one hand, and
Equitable Life and its subsidiaries on the other, may be subject to prior
notice or approval of the New York State Insurance Department depending on the
size of such transactions.

CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
- --------------------

As broker-dealers registered with the Commission and member firms of
the NYSE and/or NASD, each of DLJSC, Pershing Trading, DLJdirect and Autranet
is subject to the capital requirements of the Commission and of the NYSE. These
capital requirements specify minimum levels of capital, computed in accordance
with regulatory requirements ("net capital"), that the U.S. Broker-Dealers are
required to maintain and also limit the amount of leverage that the U.S.
Broker-Dealers are able to obtain in their businesses. As a futures commission
merchant, DLJSC is also subject to the capital requirements of the CFTC and the
CBOT. Compliance with regulatory capital requirements could limit those
operations of the U.S. Broker-Dealers that require the intensive use of
capital, such as DLJSC's underwriting and trading activities, and the financing
of customer account balances, and also restrict the Company's ability to pay
dividends, pay interest, repay debt, and redeem or purchase shares of its
outstanding capital stock. A change in such rules, or the imposition of new
rules, affecting the scope, coverage, calculation or amount of capital
requirements, or a significant operating loss or any usually large charge
against capital, would adversely affect the ability of the Company to pay
dividends or to expand or even maintain present levels of business. The Company
believes that at all times the U.S. Broker-Dealers have been in compliance in
all material respects with the applicable minimum capital rules of the
Commission, the NYSE, the CFTC and the CBOT. As of December 31, 1997, DLJSC was
required to maintain a minimum "net capital," in accordance with commission and
CFTC rules, of approximately $107.3 million and had total net capital of
approximately $762.2 million (including $482.5 million of subordinated debt
borrowed under various agreements), or approximately $654.9 million in excess
of 2% of aggregate debit items and approximately $507.9 million in excess of 5%
of aggregate debit items.

The Company's non-U.S. broker-dealer subsidiaries may be subject to the
net capital requirements imposed by foreign financial regulatory authorities.
At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company believes that its foreign
broker-dealer subsidiaries were in compliance with all applicable regulatory
capital adequacy requirements.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
----------

The Company's principal executive offices are presently located at 277
Park Avenue, New York, New York and occupy approximately 881,000 square feet

Pershing also leases approximately 460,000 square feet in Jersey City,
New Jersey, under leases which expire at various dates through 2009. The
Company also owns land and a building with approximately 133,000 square feet in

Menlo Park, Miami, Oak Brook, Philadelphia and San Francisco. Its foreign
office locations are Bangalore, Buenos Aires, Geneva, Hong Kong, London,
Lugano, Mexico City, Paris, Sao Paulo and Tokyo.

The Company believes that its present facilities are adequate for its
current needs.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
-----------------

Beginning on March 25, 1991, Dayton Monetary Associates and Charles
Davison, along with more than 200 other plaintiffs, filed several complaints
against DLJSC and a number of other financial institutions and several
individuals in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
The plaintiffs allege that DLJSC and other defendants violated civil provisions
of RICO by inducing plaintiffs to invest over $40 million during the years 1978
through 1982 in The Securities Groups, a number of tax shelter limited
partnerships. The plaintiffs seek recovery of the loss of their entire
investment and an approximately equivalent amount of tax-related damages.
Judgments for damages under RICO are subject to trebling. Discovery is complete
and motions for summary judgment are pending. No trial date has been set by the
court. DLJSC believes that it has meritorious defenses to the complaints and is
contesting the suits vigorously. Although there can be no assurance, the
Company does not believe that the ultimate outcome of this litigation will have
a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition and/or the
Company's results of operations in any particular period.

others were named as defendants in a new adversary proceeding in the Bankruptcy
Court brought by the NGC Settlement Trust, an entity created by the NGC plan of
reorganization to deal with asbestos-related claims. The Trust's allegations
are substantially similar to the claims in the State Court action. On January
21, 1998, the Bankruptcy Court ruled that the State Court plaintiff's claims
were not barred by the NGC plan or reorganization insofar as they alleged
nondisclosure of certain cost reductions announced by NGC in October 1993.
DLJSC intends to defend itself vigorously against all of the allegations
contained in the complaints. Although there can be no assurance, the Company
does not believe that the ultimate outcome of this litigation will have a
material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition. Due to the
early stage of such litigation, based upon the information currently available
to it, management cannot make an estimate of loss, if any, or predict whether
or not such litigation will have a material adverse effect on the Company's
results of operations in any particular period.

In November and December 1995, DLJSC, along with various other
parties, was named as a defendant in a number of purported class actions filed
in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. The
complaints allege violations of the federal securities laws arising out of a
public offering in 1994 of $435 million of first mortgage notes of Harrah's
Jazz Company and Harrah's Jazz Finance Corp. The complaints seek to hold DLJSC
liable for various alleged misstatements and omissions contained in the
prospectus dated November 9, 1994. On February 26, 1997, the parties agreed to
a settlement of these actions, subject to the District Court's approval, which
was granted on July 31, 1997. The settlement is also subject to the approval by
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana of proposed
modifications to a confirmed plan of reorganization for Harrah's Jazz Company
and Harrah's Jazz Finance Corp., and the satisfaction or waiver of all
conditions to the effectiveness of the plan, as provided in the plan. There can
be no assurance of the Bankruptcy Court's approval of the modifications to the
plan of reorganization, or that the conditions to the effectiveness of the plan
will be satisfied or waived. In the opinion of management the ultimate
resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's results of operations or on its consolidated financial condition.

On January 26, 1996, a purported purchaser of certain notes and
warrants to purchase shares of common stock of Rickel Home Centers, Inc.
("Rickel") filed a class action complaint against DLJSC and certain other
defendants for unspecified compensatory and punitive damages in the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of New York. The suit was brought on
behalf of the purchasers of 126,457 units consisting of $126,457,000 aggregate
principal amount of 13 1/2% senior notes due 2001 and 126,457 warrants to
purchase shares of common stock of Rickel (the "Units") issued by Rickel in
October 1994. The complaint alleges violations of federal securities laws and
common law fraud against DLJSC, as the underwriter of the Units and as an owner
of 7.3% of the common stock of Rickel, Eos Partners, L.P. and General Electric
Capital Corporation, each as owners of 44.2% of the common stock of Rickel, and
members of the board of directors of Rickel, including a DLJSC managing
director. The complaint seeks to hold DLJSC liable for alleged misstatements
and omissions contained in the prospectus and registration statement filed in
connection with the offering of the Units, alleging that the defendants knew of
financial losses and a decline in value of Rickel in the months prior to the
offering and did not disclose such information. The complaint also alleges that
Rickel failed to pay its semi-annual interest payment due on the Units on
December 15, 1995, and that Rickel filed a voluntary petition for
reorganization pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code on January 10,
1996. DLJSC intends to defend itself vigorously against all of the allegations
contained in the complaint. Although there can be no assurance, the Company
does not believe that the outcome of this litigation will have a material
adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition. Due to the early stage
of this litigation, based on the information currently available to it,
management cannot make an estimate of loss, if any, or predict whether or not
such litigation will have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of
operations in any particular period.

In addition to the matters described above, the Company has been named
as a defendant in various civil actions and arbitrations arising out of its
activities as a broker-dealer in securities, as an underwriter and as an
employer and arising out of alleged employee misconduct. The Company is also
involved, from time to time, in proceedings with, and investigations by,
governmental agencies and SRO's. See "Regulation." The Company does not believe
that any such matters, claims or investigations will have a material adverse
effect on its results of operations or its consolidated financial condition.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

this statement.

Basic earnings per common share amounts have been calculated by dividing
earnings applicable to common shares (net income less preferred dividends)
by the weighted average common shares outstanding i.e. excluding the effect
of potentially dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per common share also
include the dilutive effects of common stock issuable under the Restricted
Stock Unit Plan and the dilutive effect of options and convertible debt
under the treasury stock method and "if-converted" method, respectively.

(3) Pro forma diluted earnings per common share are calculated by dividing
earnings applicable to common shares (net income less preferred dividends),
by the pro forma weighted average number of diluted common shares
outstanding. Pro forma common shares outstanding represent actual
historical shares outstanding adjusted for the dilutive effect of the
Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) using the treasury stock method.

(4) Net assets are total assets excluding securities purchased under agreements
to resell and securities borrowed.

(5) Long-term borrowings and total capitalization (the sum of long-term
borrowings, preferred stock and stockholders' equity) exclude current
maturities (one year or less) of long-term borrowings.

(6) After payment of dividends on the Company's preferred stock.

(7) For the purpose of calculating the ratio of earnings to combined fixed
charges and preferred stock dividends (i) earnings consist of income before
the provision for income taxes and fixed charges and (ii) fixed charges
consist of interest expense and one-third of rental expense which is deemed
representative of an interest factor. No preferred dividends were paid in
1993.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
-----------------------------------------------------------
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
-------------------------

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
- --------------------

The Company's principal business activities, investment and merchant
banking, securities sales and trading and correspondent brokerage services are,
by their nature, highly competitive and subject to general market conditions,
volatile trading markets and fluctuations in the volume of market activity.
Consequently, the Company's net income and revenues have been and are likely to
continue to be, subject to wide fluctuations, reflecting the impact of many
factors beyond the Company's control, including securities market conditions,
the level and volatility of interest rates, competitive conditions and the size
and timing of transactions.

The strong market conditions that existed throughout 1996 continued
during 1997 resulting in record levels of underwriting and merger and
acquisition activity. Record levels were also achieved by major stock indices,
such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index and
the NASDAQ composite. These favorable market conditions combined with rising
stock prices created a robust investment banking atmosphere.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
- -------------------

In March 1997, the Company acquired a London-based investment bank,
Phoenix Group Limited (Phoenix). Phoenix is an international financial advisory
and investment management business with offices in London and Hong Kong. It has
two principal operations, a corporate finance and advisory business and private
equity fund management business investing in private securities. It also makes
investments as principal.

In April 1997, a bridge loan aggregating $150 million was repaid in
full and the Company realized the $28.8 million previously reserved, plus
interest.

In October 1997, the Company sold for cash approximately $250.0 million
of mortgage loans and related assets secured by 38 multi-family properties.
These assets were obtained through the repurchase in 1994 of certain mortgage
related securities previously underwritten by the Company. The sales price
approximated the Company's carrying value of these assets.

In October 1997, the Company acquired London Global Securities ("LGS"),
a securities financing intermediary located in London. LGS is active in
approximately 25 equity markets and offers institutional investors and
financial institutions financing services for a full range of securities,
including equities, convertible bonds, warrants and emerging markets debt
through a variety of transaction structures such as swaps, repurchase
agreements, buy/sell arrangements and collateral management programs.

In January 1998, the Company issued an initial 3.5 million shares of
Fixed/Adjustable Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series B, with a liquidation
preference of $50 per share ($175.0 million aggregate liquidation value) from
such shelf registration statement.

In February 1998, the Board of Directors declared a two-for-one common
stock split of the Company's common stock. The stock split is subject to
shareholder approval of the increase in the number of authorized common shares
from 150 million to 300 million. The split will be effected in the form of a
stock dividend. The par value of the common stock will remain at $.10 per
share. After the split is implemented, the Company's quarterly dividend rate
will be adjusted proportionately downward. All share and per share amounts will
be restated upon approval of the shareholders.

In March 1998, the Company issued $150 million of 6 1/2% Senior Notes
due 2008.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Total revenues for 1997 were $4.6 billion, an increase of $1,149.7
million or 32.9% over 1996. Revenues increased in all of the Company's major
areas of activity during 1997.

Commission revenues increased by $116.8 million or 20.4% to $690.2
million due to increased business in all areas, and is generally consistent
with the overall growth in listed share volume on major equity exchanges.

Underwriting revenues increased by $117.5 million or 16.5% to $831.7
million. The Company experienced increases in all areas of underwriting during
1997.

Fee revenues increased by $297.3 million or 63.3% to $767.3 million.
Overall, merger and acquisition ("M&A"), private placements and other advisory
services activities increased during 1997. Private equity capital raised for
other investment organizations increased in 1997. In addition, fees from the
Company's asset management group increased due to an increase in assets under
management from $5.6 billion at the beginning of 1997 to $12.0 billion at the
end of the year.

Interest, net of interest expense to finance U.S. government, agency
and mortgage-backed securities, increased by $577.9 million or 53.8% to $1.7
billion. Higher levels of foreign fixed-income financing instruments in the
Company's newly acquired London Global Securities division and higher interest
rates earned in the Emerging Markets business accounted for most of the
increase. The remaining increase was due to higher levels of inventory in the
Fixed Income Division and increased customer margin balances at Pershing.

Principal transactions-net, trading revenues increased by $1.7 million
or 0.4% to $437.1 million.

Principal transactions-net, investment revenues increased by $31.6
million or 19.4% to $194.5 million. Realized gains on investments were $160.0
million. Net unrealized carrying values increased by $34.5 million, which
includes the elimination of net unrealized depreciation of $45.6 million on
investments sold and an increase in net unrealized depreciation of $11.1
million on retained investments.

Other revenues, consisting primarily of dividends and miscellaneous
transaction revenues, increased by $6.9 million or 11.4% to $67.6 million due
to increased revenue sharing arrangements at Pershing.

Total costs and expenses for 1997 were $4.0 billion, an increase of
$962.4 million or 31.9% over 1996.

Compensation and benefits increased $369.4 million or 24.0% to $1.9
billion. Most of the increase was due to increased variable incentive and
production-related compensation, which resulted from higher revenues and
operating results. Incentive and production-related compensation increased by
22.6% in 1997, while base compensation, including benefits and payroll taxes,
increased by 28.2% due to expansion in various business groups, consistent with
the growth of the Company's international businesses. At December 31, 1997,
full-time personnel totaled 7,053 compared to 5,885 at December 31, 1996, an
increase of 1,168 or 19.8%.

Interest expense increased $420.0 million or 57.3% to $1,153.2 million.
Most of this increase was related to expanded levels of inventory of
fixed-income related products in the Real Estate Finance department and as a
result of the London Global acquisition.

All other expenses, as noted below, increased by $173.0 million or
23.2% to $918.0 million in 1997.

Brokerage, clearing, exchange fees and other expenses increased by
$30.1 million due to increased share volume, underwriting related expenses and
transaction fee payments. Occupancy and equipment costs increased by $30.6
million as a result of the full year impact of the firm's relocation and
expansion of the Company's principal office in the U.S. as well as expansion of
the Company's other domestic and international offices. During the fourth
quarter of 1997, the Company moved its principal London operations to a new and
expanded location. Communications costs increased by $10.3 million due to
expanded facilities and growth in professional staff. All other operating
expenses increased by $102.0 million. Included therein are data processing,
professional fees, travel and entertainment, and printing and stationery which
increased by $110.5 million reflecting an overall increase in the level of
business activity and costs for Year 2000 project (See "Year 2000"). Increased
advertising expenses relate primarily to a major national print, television and
online advertising campaign on behalf of DLJdirect, the Company's online
investing broker. These increases were offset by a reduction of expenses
incurred on previously underwritten mortgage-related securities, the assets of
which were sold in the fourth quarter of 1997.

The Company's income tax provision for 1997 and 1996 was $252.8
million and $182.5 million, respectively, which represented a 38.2% and 38.5%
effective tax rate for each period.

had approximately $8.0 billion of committed capital related to its merchant
banking activities.

and mortgage-backed securities, increased by $170.1 million or 18.8% to $1.1
billion. Higher levels of foreign fixed-income securities in the Company's
Emerging Markets business accounted for approximately one half of the increase.
The remaining increase was due to higher levels of inventory in the Fixed
Income Division and increased margin balances at Pershing.

Principal transactions-net, trading revenues increased by $70.5 million
or 19.3% to $435.4 million. Most of the increase took place in the Fixed Income
Division due to improved trading results in high-grade corporates and
high-yield securities.

million or 0.4% to $163.0 million. Realized gains on investments were $213.3
million. Net unrealized carrying values decreased by $50.3 million, which

Most of this increase was related to expanded levels of inventory of
fixed-income related products including equity derivatives and foreign local
fixed-income securities.

All other expenses, as noted below, increased by $233.1 million or
45.5% to $745.0 million in 1996.

Brokerage, clearing, exchange fees and other expenses increased by
$33.2 million due to increased share volume, underwriting related expenses and

effective tax rate for each period.

Net income for 1996 was $291.3 million, up $112.2 million or 62.6% from
the comparable 1995 period. Diluted earnings per common share using the
treasury stock method were $4.59 and $3.09 for 1996 and 1995, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

The Company's assets are highly liquid with the majority consisting of
securities inventories and collateralized receivables, both of which fluctuate
depending on the levels of proprietary trading and customer business. Such
collateralized receivables consist primarily of resale agreements and
securities borrowed, both of which are secured by U.S. government and agency
securities, and marketable corporate debt and equity securities. In addition,
the Company has significant receivables from customers, brokers and dealers
which turn over frequently. As a securities dealer, the Company may carry
significant levels of trading inventories to meet client needs. As such, the
Company's total assets or the individual components of total assets vary
significantly from period to period because of changes relating to customer
needs, economic and market conditions and proprietary trading strategies. A
relatively small percentage of total assets is fixed or held for a period of
longer than one year. The Company's total assets at December 31, 1997 and 1996
were $70.5 billion and $55.5 billion, respectively.

The majority of the Company's assets are financed through daily
operations by repurchase agreements, securities sold not yet purchased,
securities loaned, bank loans, and through payables to brokers and dealers.
Short-term funding is generally obtained at rates related to Federal funds,
LIBOR and money market rates. Other borrowing costs are negotiated depending
upon prevailing market conditions. The Company monitors overall liquidity by
tracking the extent to which unencumbered marketable assets exceed short-term
unsecured borrowings.

In March 1996, the Company moved its principal offices from 140
Broadway to 277 Park Avenue in New York City. In 1997, the Company moved its
principal London operations to a new and expanded location. The Company
financed expenditures related to the moves with available operating capital.

During the second quarter of 1997, the Company replaced several
individual credit facilities aggregating $1.925 billion with a $2.0 billion
revolving credit facility, of which $1.0 billion may be unsecured. There were
no borrowings outstanding under this agreement at December 31, 1997.

Certain of the Company's businesses are capital intensive. In addition
to normal operating requirements, capital is required to cover financing and
regulatory charges on securities inventories, merchant banking investments and
investments in fixed assets. The Company's overall capital needs are
continually reviewed to ensure that its capital base can appropriately support
the anticipated needs of its business units as well as the regulatory capital
requirements of subsidiaries. Based upon these analyses, management believes
that the Company's debt and equity base is adequate for current operating
levels. The Company has been active in raising additional long-term financing,
including extending the maturity of its senior subordinated revolving credit
agreement of $325.0 million.

The Company issues structured notes which are customized financing
instruments in which the amount of interest or principal paid on the debt
obligation is linked to the return on specific cash instruments. At December
31, 1997 and 1996, the Company had issued long-term structured notes with
principal amounts of $123.7 million and $216.2 million outstanding,
respectively. The Company covers its obligations on structured notes primarily
by purchasing and selling the financial instruments to which the value of its
structured notes are linked.

In April 1997, the Company commenced a program for the offering of up
to $300 million Medium-Term Notes due nine months or more from the date of
issuance. The Medium-Term Note program was established under a shelf
registration statement previously filed by the Company. The notes may bear
interest at fixed or floating rates and may be issued as indexed notes, dual
currency notes, renewable notes, amortizing notes or original issue discount
notes. At December 31, 1997, the Company had $200.0 million of notes
outstanding under this program with a weighted average interest rate of 6.48%.
The Company has entered into interest rate swap transactions to convert $190.0
million of such fixed rate notes into floating rate notes based upon LIBOR. At
December 31, 1997, the weighted average effective interest rates on these notes
was 6.08%.

In September 1997, the Company filed a shelf registration statement
which enables the Company to issue from time to time up to $1.0 billion in
aggregate principal amount of senior or subordinated debt securities. In
addition, the Company commenced a program under such shelf registration for the
offering of up to $500 million Medium-Term Notes due nine months or more from
the date of issuance. The notes may bear interest at fixed or floating rates
and may be issued as indexed notes, dual currency notes, renewable notes,
amortizing notes or original issue discount notes. At December 31, 1997, there
were $150 million notes outstanding under this program with a fixed rate of
6.90%. In October 1997, the Company issued an additional $100 million
Medium-Term Notes from this same shelf registration statement. These notes
mature on October 29, 2007 and bear interest at a floating rate of 6.28% at
December 31, 1997 based upon LIBOR. The Company has entered into an interest
rate swap transaction to convert such notes to fixed rate notes at 6.94%. In
addition, in September 1997, the Company issued $350 million Global Floating
Rate Notes from the $1.0 billion shelf registration statement. Such notes bear
interest at a floating rate equal to LIBOR plus 0.25% and mature on September
18, 2002. The notes are redeemable by the Company in whole or in part on any
interest payment date on or after September 2000.

In December 1997, the Company's shelf registration statement which
enables the Company to issue, from time to time, up to $300 million of senior
or subordinated debt securities or preferred stock, was declared effective. In
January 1998, the Company issued an initial 3.5 million shares of
Fixed/Adjustable Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series B, with a liquidation
preference of $50 per share ($175.0 million aggregate liquidation value) from
such shelf registration statement.

In January 1998, the Company commenced a $1.0 billion commercial paper
program. Obligations issued thereunder (the "Notes") are exempt from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Notes rank pari
passu with the Company's other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.

The Company's current credit ratings of its long-term debt and commercial paper
are as follows:

Long-Term Debt Commercial Paper
----------------- --------------------------
Duff & Phelps A -
Fitch IBCA A F-1
Moody's A3 P-2
Standard & Poors A- A-2
Thomson BankWatch A+ TBW-1

On December 19, 1997, Moody's Investors Service upgraded the ratings of the
Company's senior debt to A3 from Baal and assigned a P-2 rating to the
Company's commercial paper.

Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation ("DLJSC") is
subject to the capital requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the Commodities Futures Trading Commission
and the Chicago Board of Trade, all of which should ensure the general capital
adequacy and liquidity of broker-dealers and/or futures commission merchants.
DLJSC has consistently maintained capital substantially in excess of the
minimum requirements of such capital rules. At December 31, 1997, DLJSC had
aggregate regulatory "net capital," after adjustments required by Rule 15c3-1
under the Exchange Act of 1934, of approximately $762.2 million, which exceeded
minimum net capital requirements by $654.9 million and which exceeded the net
capital required by DLJSC's most restrictive debt covenants by $394.7 million.

Certain of the Company's London-based broker-dealer subsidiaries are
subject to the requirements of the Securities and Futures Authority, a
self-regulatory organization established pursuant to the United Kingdom
Financial Services Act of 1986. Other U.S. and foreign broker-dealer
subsidiaries of the Company are subject to net capital requirements of their
respective regulatory agencies. At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company and
its broker-dealer subsidiaries were in compliance with all applicable
regulatory capital adequacy requirements.

The Company's overall capital and funding needs are continually
reviewed to ensure that its capital base can support the estimated needs of its
business units.

CASH FLOWS
- ----------

The Company's consolidated statements of cash flows classify cash flows
into three broad categories: cash flows from operating activities, investing
activities and financing activities. The Company's net cash flows are
principally associated with operating and financing activities, which support
the Company's trading, customer and banking activities.

Years Ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995
- --------------------------------------------

Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 totaled
$273.2 million, $158.8 million and $107.8 million, respectively, an increase of
$114.3 million, $51.1 million and $12.9 million, respectively.

Cash (used in) provided by operating activities totaled $(5.2)
billion, $(1.7) billion and $93.8 million in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
In 1997, there were increases in securities borrowed of $11.2 billion and
receivables from customers of $1.2 billion. These increases were offset by
increases in operating liabilities including securities loaned of $5.0 billion,
payables to customers of $1.2 billion, securities sold not yet purchased of
$1.0 billion and accounts payable and accrued expenses of $397.9 million. In
1996, there were increases in securities sold not yet purchased of $2.7
billion, payables to brokers, dealers and other of $2.3 billion and payables to
customers of $1.3 billion. These increases were more than offset by increases
in assets including trading inventories of $4.9 billion, receivables from
brokers, dealers and other of $2.3 billion, and receivables from customers of
$813.3 million. In 1995, there were increases in assets including trading
inventories of $1.8 billion, receivables from customers of $707.3 million and
securities borrowed of $354.5 million. These increases in operating assets were
offset by increases in liabilities, including securities sold not yet purchased
of $1.2 billion, payables to customers of $604.6 million and securities loaned
of $595.5 million.

In 1997, net cash used in investing activities of $216.0 million
consisted primarily of fixed asset purchases related to the expansion of the
Company's domestic and international offices and net purchases of long-term
corporate development investments. Such purchases were partially offset by
proceeds received from the sale of mortgage loans and related assets secured by
38 multi-family properties totaling $250.0 million. In 1996 and 1995, net cash
used in investing activities of $107.0 million and $120.0 million,
respectively, consisted primarily of fixed asset purchases related to the
Company's move of its principal offices. Additionally, in 1996, cash was
provided from the sales of long-term corporate development investments.

In 1997 and 1996, net cash provided by financing activities totaled
$5.6 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively, of which, $4.9 billion and $1.2
billion was provided by short-term financings. In 1997, cash of $88.0 million
was used to repay medium-term notes due in 1997, $347.8 million was provided by
the issuance of global floating rate notes, $447.6 million was provided by the
issuance of medium-term notes and $118.5 million was provided by the issuance
of an addition to the subordinated revolving credit agreement. In 1996, cash of
$105.5 million was used to repay Swiss Franc Bonds. $249.5 million was provided
by the issuance of medium-term notes, $200.0 million was provided by the
issuance of mandatorily redeemable preferred securities by the Company's wholly
owned Trust, and $200.0 million was provided by the issuance of Series A
Fixed/Adjustable Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock of the Company. In 1995, cash
of $541.8 million was used to repay short-term funding (principally repurchase
agreements). Additionally, $496.8 million was provided from the issuance of
Senior Notes, $100.0 million from the issuance of restricted stock units, $81.2
million from the issuance of common stock in the IPO and $250.0 million from a
secured term loan agreement. This loan agreement as well as $79.0 million of
other long-term debt was repaid in 1995.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
- --------------------------------

Derivatives are financial instruments, the payments on which are linked
to the prices, or relationships between prices, of securities or commodities,
interest rates, currency exchange rates or other financial measures
(collectively referred to as "cash market instruments"). Derivatives enable the
Company and its clients to manage their exposure to interest rates and currency
exchange rates, and security and other price risks. Derivatives may include
swaps, futures or forward contracts and options. Certain types of derivatives,
including forwards and certain options, are traded in the over the counter
("OTC") markets. Other types of derivatives, including futures contracts and
listed options are traded on regulated exchanges. The Company's involvement in
derivative products is related primarily to revenue generation through the
provision of products to its clients as opposed to covers of the Company's own
positions.

The Company's derivative activities are not as extensive as many of
its competitors. Instead, the Company has focused its derivative activities on
writing OTC options contracts to accommodate its customers' needs, trading in
forward contracts in U.S. government and agency issued or guaranteed
securities, trading in futures contracts on equity-based indices, interest rate
instruments, and foreign currencies, and issuing structured products based on
emerging market financial instruments and indices. The Company's involvement in
swap contracts which may involve greater risk and volatility, is not
significant.

Options:
-------
As part of customer accommodations, the Company writes option
contracts specifically designed to meet customers' needs. As a writer of OTC
option contracts, the Company receives a cash premium at the beginning of the
contract period and bears the risk of unfavorable changes in the value of the
financial instruments underlying the options. Options written do not expose the
Company to credit risk since they obligate the Company (not its counterparty)
to perform. With respect to the financial instruments underlying these options,
the Company makes a determination that credit exposures are appropriate for the
particular counterparty with whom business is conducted. The Company generally
covers its market risk associated with the options business by purchasing or
selling cash or other derivative financial instruments on a proprietary basis
to cover the options written. Such purchases and sales may include debt and
equity securities, futures and forward contracts and options. The Company
reviews the creditworthiness of the counterparties of such covering
transactions. Future cash requirements for options written are equal to the
fair value of the options. Option contracts are typically written for a
duration of less than 13 months and are included in the consolidated statements
of financial condition at fair value. Option premiums are recognized as revenue
over the life of the option contracts on a straight-line basis or are
recognized as revenue through the change in the fair value of the option.

The notional (contract) values of the written options were $5.4
billion and $8.6 billion at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The
overall decrease in the notional value of all options was due primarily to
decreases in customer activity related to foreign sovereign debt securities
resulting from competitive pressures and overall market conditions. Such
options contracts are covered by the following financial instruments which the
Company has purchased or sold on a proprietary basis and are reflected in the
table below at either the underlying contract (notional) amounts for derivative
instruments or at market value for cash instruments:

Forwards and Futures Trading:
----------------------------

As part of the Company's trading activities, including trading
activities in the related cash market instruments, the Company enters into
forward and futures contracts primarily involving securities, foreign
currencies, indices and forward rate agreements, as well as options on futures
contracts. Such forward and futures contracts are entered into as part of the
Company's covering transactions and are not used for speculative purposes.

Forward contracts generally call for the purchase or sale by the
Company, on a delayed settlement basis, of debt securities or currencies, or
other financial instruments. Futures contracts and options on futures contracts
are exchange traded contracts which settle daily and generally call for the
purchase or sale by the Company of a financial instrument at a specified future
date at a specified price. The Company generally profits when the value of
assets that it has purchased on a delayed settlement basis rises or the value
of assets that it has sold on a delayed settlement basis falls. Conversely, the
Company generally incurs losses when assets purchased for delayed settlement
decline in value or assets sold increase in value. Forward and futures
contracts, unlike cash market transactions in the financial instruments to
which such forwards or futures relate, have both on-and off-balance sheet
implications. The notional contractual value of forward and futures contracts
are treated as off-balance sheet items, while the related unrealized gains and
losses are included in assets and liabilities.

The average monthly net unrealized gains (losses) were approximately
$(2.0) million and $(10.0) million for forward contracts and $1.0 million and
$2.0 million for futures contracts for the years ended December 31, 1997 and
1996, respectively. Net unrealized gains (losses) of approximately $(6.0)
million and $(3.0) million related to forward contracts and approximately
$(2.0) million and $6.0 million related to futures contracts at December 31,
1997 and 1996, respectively, were included in the receivables from or payables
to brokers, dealers and other captions in the Company's consolidated statements
of financial condition. Unrealized gains and losses on forward and futures
contracts are recorded in earnings. Net trading gains (losses) on forward
contracts were $(5.1) million, $39.0 million and $149.0 million and net trading
gains (losses) on futures contracts were $(24.0) million, $8.0 million and
$(58.0) million for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.

The notional contract and market values of the forward and futures
contracts at December 31, 1997 and 1996 were as follows:

MERCHANT BANKING AND BRIDGE LENDING ACTIVITIES
- ----------------------------------------------

The Company's merchant banking activities include investments in
various partnerships, for which subsidiaries of the Company act as general
partner, as well as direct investments in connection with its merchant banking
activities. As of December 31, 1997 the Company has investments of $245.8
million and has potential commitments to invest up to an additional $885.6
million in connection with these merchant banking activities.

otherwise payable to the Company with respect to DLJ Bridge Fund activities
until such losses have been recovered. The Company has also agreed to pay
Equitable the amount, if any, by which any principal loss on an individual loan
exceeds $150 million. The DLJ Bridge Fund currently has one individual bridge
loan outstanding in excess of $150 million. Pursuant to arrangements between
the Company and the commercial bank syndicate, the Company is at risk for a
significant portion of any loans funded by such banks. However, substantially
all of the bridge loans have been made without using the bank commitment. At
December 31, 1997, the DLJ Bridge Fund had extended $565.1 million of
short-term bridge loans which are expected to be refinanced in the first
quarter of 1998.

HIGH-YIELD AND NON-INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT SECURITIES
- ---------------------------------------------------

The Company participates in the underwriting, trading, sales and
holding of high-yield and non-investment-grade securities. Non-investment-grade
securities are defined as securities or loans to companies rated BB+ or lower
as well as non-rated securities or loans. These securities generally involve
greater risk than investment-grade debt holdings due to credit considerations,
liquidity of secondary trading markets and vulnerability to general economic
conditions. During the past year, the Company's high-yield and non-investment
grade holdings increased due to the demand for higher-yielding instruments,
expansion of the Company's senior bank debt activities, and the acquisition of
the remaining interest in an affiliate dealing in whole loans.

The Company accounts for its high-yield securities at market value and
non-investment grade holdings generally at market or fair value, with
unrealized gains and losses recognized currently in earnings. At December 31,
1997 and 1996 the Company had long and short holdings (excluding derivatives
and structured notes) as follows:

RISK MANAGEMENT
- ---------------

Exposure to risk and the ways in which the Company manages the various
types of risks on a day-to-day basis is critical to its survival and financial
success. The Company monitors its market and counterparty risk on a daily basis
through a number of control procedures designed to identify and evaluate the
various risks to which the Company is exposed. The Company established a Risk
Committee comprised of senior professionals from each of the three operating
and key administrative groups. The Risk Committee's objective is to update risk
policies as appropriate and improve monitoring capabilities throughout the
Company. An independent risk officer function is designed to oversee this
process as well as to monitor adherence by the various business groups to the
Company's risk policy statements issued by the Risk Committee.

The Company has established various committees to assist senior
management in managing risk associated with investment banking and merchant
banking transactions. The objectives of the committees are to review potential
clients and engagements, utilize experience with similar clients and
situations, perform credit analyses for certain commitments and to analyze the
Company's potential role as a principal investor. The Company seeks to control
the risks associated with its banking activities by a thorough review by
various committees of the details of all transactions prior to accepting an
engagement. Some of the committees which have been formed are the Fairness and
Valuation Opinion Committee, the Private Placement Committee, the Restructuring
Coordinating Committee, the Equity Commitment Committee, the High-Yield
Underwriting Committee, the Bridge Commitment Committee, the Banking Review
Committee, the Finance Committee, and the Executive Committee.

From time to time, the Company makes investments in certain merchant
banking transactions or other long-term corporate development investments.
DLJ's Merchant Banking Group has established several investment entities, each
of which has formed their own investment committee. These committees make all
investment and disposition decisions with respect to potential and existing
portfolio companies. In addition, senior officers of the Company meet on a
quarterly basis to review merchant banking and corporate development
investments. After a discussion of the financial and operational aspects of the
companies involved, recommendations regarding carrying values are made for each
investment to the Finance Committee. The Finance Committee then makes a
determination of fair value following a review of such recommendations.

The Company often acts as principal in customer-related transactions
in financial instruments which expose the Company to market risks. The Company
also engages in proprietary trading and arbitrage activities and makes dealer
markets in equity securities, investment-grade corporate debt, high-yield
securities, U.S. government and agency securities, mortgages and
mortgage-backed securities and selected derivatives. In addition, the Company's
Emerging Markets Group trades a variety of securities, including Brady Bonds,
foreign fixed-income securities and options, and issues structured notes. As
such, the Company may be required to maintain certain amounts of inventories in
order to facilitate customer order flow. The Company covers its exposure to
market risk by limiting its net long or short position by selling or buying
similar instruments and by utilizing various derivative financial instruments
in the exchange-traded and OTC Markets.

The Company manages risk exposure utilizing mechanisms involving
various levels of management. Position limits in trading and inventory accounts
are established and monitored on an ongoing basis. Current and proposed
underwriting, corporate development, merchant banking and other commitments are
subject to due diligence reviews by senior management as well as professionals
in the appropriate business and support units involved.

Trading activities generally result in the creation of inventory
positions. Position and exposure reports are prepared daily by operations staff
in each of the business groups engaged in trading activities
for traders, trading managers, department managers, divisional management and
group management personnel. Such reports are reviewed independently on a daily
basis by the Company's corporate accounting group. In addition, the corporate
accounting group prepares a consolidated summarized position report indicating
both long and short exposure, along with approved limits, which is distributed
to various levels of management throughout the Company, including the Chief
Executive Officer, and which enables senior management to control inventory
levels and monitor results of the trading groups. The Company also reviews and
monitors, at various levels of management, inventory aging, pricing,
concentration and securities ratings.

In addition to position and exposure reports, the Company produces a
daily revenue report which summarizes the trading, interest, commissions, fees,
underwriting and other revenue items for each of the business groups. Daily
revenue is reviewed for various risk factors and is independently verified by
the corporate accounting group. The daily revenue report is distributed to
various levels of management throughout the Company, including the Chief
Executive Officer, and together with the position and exposure report enables
senior management to monitor and control overall activity of the trading
groups.

MARKET RISK
- -----------

Market risk represents the potential loss the Company may incur as a
result of absolute and relative price movements in financial instruments due to
changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices, and other
factors. The Company's exposure to market risk is directly related to its role
as financial intermediary in customer-related transactions and to its
proprietary trading and arbitrage activities. The Company's primary market risk
exposures as of December 31, 1997 include interest rate risk, foreign currency
exchange rate risk and equity price risk. Interest rate risk results from
maintaining inventory positions and trading in interest rate sensititive
financial instruments. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk which
arises from various sources including changes in the absolute and relative
level of interest rates, interest rate volatilty, mortgage prepayment rates and
the shape of the yield curves in various markets. The Company's investment
grade and high-yiel corporate bonds, mortgages, equities, derivatives and
convertible debt activities, also expose it to the risk of loss related to
changes in credit spreads. Credit spread risk arises from the potential that
changes in an issuer's credit rating affect the value of financial instruments.
The Company attempts to cover its

exposure to interest rate risk by entering into transactions in U.S. government
securities, options and futures and forward contracts designed to reduce the
Company's risk profile. Foreign currency exchange rate risk arises from the
possibility that changes in foreign currency exchange rates or their
volatilities will impact the value of financial instruments. The principal
currencies creating foreign currency exchange risk for the Company at December
31, 1997 were the British Sterling, Turkish Lira and German Deutsche Mark. The
Company attempts to cover the risk arising from its foreign exchange activities
primarily through the use of options, futures and forward transactions and
currency swaps. Equity price risk results from maintaining inventory positions
and making markets in equity securities. Equity price risk arises from changes
in the level or volatility of equity prices, equity index exposure and equity
index spreads which affect the value of equity securities. The Company attempts
to cover its exposure to equity price risk by entering into transactions in
options and futures designed to reduce the Company's risk profile.

VALUE AT RISK
- -------------
As a result of the Securities and Exchange Commission's new market risk
disclosure rules, the Company developed a Company-wide Value-at-Risk ("VAR")
model late in 1997. This Company-wide VAR model was not actively used for risk
management in 1997, but some form of VAR is expected to be used in the future.

The Company's VAR model includes virtually all of the Company's trading
market risk sensitive instruments and its non-trading market risk sensitive
instruments. Non-trading market risk sensitive instruments are not material and
consequently are not reported separately. The Company has estimated its VAR
using a variance-covariance model with a confidence interval of 95% and a one
day holding period, based on historical data for one year.

The VAR number is the statistically expected maximum loss on the fair
value of the Company's market sensitive instruments for 19 out of every 20
trading days. In other words, on 1 out of every 20 trading days, the loss is
statistically expected to be greater than the VAR number. The model, however,
does not state how much greater.

VAR models are statistical analyses designed to assist in risk
management and to provide senior management with one probabilistic indicator of
risk at the firm level. VAR numbers should not be interpreted as a predictor of
actual results. The Company's VAR model has been specifically tailored for its
risk management needs and to its risk profile. The variance-covariance method
assigns all market instruments to their applicable risk categories such as
interest rate exposure, foreign currency exposure, equity exposure, industry
type, credit rating, volatility exposure and country exposure. Correlations and
volatilities are calculated from historical data series for each risk category
and used in the variance-covariance matrix to calculate VAR. The Company's
variance-covariance model gives equal weight to earlier and later historical
data and assumes that market rate movements over one day are adequately
represented by the use of a normal distribution and therefore does not include
certain other non-normal distributions. Moreover, non-linear market movements
are not included.

The Company's VAR model, in common with all other VAR models, is
limited by its assumptions and qualifications. These limitations include the
following: (1) a daily VAR does not capture the risk inherent in trading
positions that cannot be liquidated or hedged in one day, (2) VAR is based on
historical market data and assumes that past trading patterns will predict the
future, (3) it is not possible to perfectly model all inherent market risks,
(4) correlations between market movements can vary, particularly in times of
market stress and (5) the model's assumption of a normal distribution may not
reflect actual market movements.

The Company believes that the use of a Company-wide VAR analysis is an
important advance in its risk management but is aware of the limitations
inherent in any statistical analysis. A VAR model alone is not a sufficient
tool to measure and monitor market risk and, as it has traditionally done, the
Company will continue to use other risk management measures, such as stress
testing, independent review of position and trading limits and daily revenue
reports.

Total Company-wide VAR was approximately $10.9 million at December 31,
1997. The Company-wide VAR is less than the sum of the individual components
below due to the benefit of diversification among the risks presented below.
The VAR for the three main components of market risk, expressed in terms of
theoretical fair values at December 31, 1997 is as follows:

(in millions)
-------------
Interest Rate risk $ 7.6

Equity risk $ 7.9

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate risk $ 1.2

CREDIT RISK
- -----------

Credit risk related to various financing activities is
reduced by the industry practice of obtaining and maintaining collateral. The
Company monitors its exposure to counterparty risk on a daily basis through the
use of credit exposure information and the monitoring of collateral values.

All counterparties are reviewed on a periodic basis to establish
appropriate exposure limits for a variety of transactions. As appropriate,
specific transactions are analyzed to determine the amount of potential
exposure that could arise, and the counterparty's credit is reviewed to
determine whether it supports such exposure. In addition to the counterparty's
credit status, the Company analyzes market movements that could affect exposure
levels. The Company considers four main factors that may affect trades in
determining trading limits: the settlement method; the time it will take for a
trade to settle (i.e., the maturity of the trade); the volatility that could
affect the value of the instruments involved in the trade; and the size of the
trade. In addition to determining trading limits, the Company actively manages
the credit exposure relating to its trading activities by entering into master
netting agreements when feasible; monitoring the creditworthiness of
counterparties and the related trading limits on an ongoing basis and
requesting additional collateral when deemed necessary; diversifying and
limiting exposure to individual counterparties and geographic locations; and
limiting the duration of exposure. In certain cases, the Company may also close
out transactions or assign them to other counterparties when deemed necessary
or appropriate to mitigate credit risks.

YEAR 2000
- ---------

As a result of the Company's recent expansion, entry into new product
markets and its move to new corporate headquarters, many of the Company's newer
communications and data processing systems are Year 2000 compliant. The
Company, however, has undertaken a project to identify and modify non-Year 2000
compliant communications and data processing systems in anticipation of the
Year 2000. Many of the non-Year 2000 compliant systems process transactions
using two-digit date fields for the year of a transaction, rather than the full
four digits. If these systems are not identified and reconfigured, Year 2000
transactions would be processed as year "00," which could lead to processing
inaccuracies and potential inoperability and could have a material adverse
affect on the Company's business. At the present time, the Company expects that
most of its significant Year 2000 corrections should be tested and in
production by the end of 1998. However, there can be no assurance that such
schedule will be met or the systems of other companies on which the Company's
business is dependent also will be timely converted or that any such failure to
convert by another company would not have an adverse effect on the Company's
business. The total cost of the project through the end of 1998 is currently
estimated to be between $80 and $90 million. Costs related to this project are
expensed and the Company has incurred approximately $40 million of such costs
at December 31, 1997.

RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS
- ------------------------------
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" which is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997. This statement establishes standards for the
reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components. In addition,
in June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 131,
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" which is
effective for financial statements for periods beginning after December 15,
1997. This statement requires a company to report financial and descriptive
information about its reportable operating segments. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of these standards on its financial statement
presentation and disclosures.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
- --------------------------

The Company has made in this report, and from time to time, may otherwise make
in its public filings, press releases and discussions with Company management,
forward-looking statements concerning the Company's operations, economic
performance and financial condition. Forward-looking statements include, among
other things, information concerning the Year 2000 and the Company's potential
exposures to various types of market risks as well as statements preceded by,
followed by, or that otherwise include the words "believes," "expects,"
"anticipates," "intends," "estimates," "projects," "probability," "should,"
"risk," "VAR," "target," "goal," "objective," or similar expressions or
variations on such expressions. Forward-looking statements are subject to
certain risks and uncertainties. For example, certain of the market risk
disclosures are dependent on choices of key model characteristics and
assumptions and are subject to various limitations. The Company claims the
protection afforded by the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained
in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results could
differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors
in addition to those discussed elsewhere herein and in the Company's other
public filings, press releases and discussions with Company management,
including (i) the volatile nature of the securities business, (ii) the
competitive nature of the securities business, (iii) the effect of extensive
federal, state and foreign regulation on the Company's business, (iv) market,
credit and liquidity risks associated with the Company's underwriting,
securities trading, market-making and arbitrage activities, (v) potential
losses that could result from the Company's merchant banking activities as a
result of its capital intensive nature, (vi) risks associated with the
Company's use of derivative financial instruments, (vii) the availability of
adequate financing to support the Company's business, (viii) potential
restrictions on the business of, and withdrawal of capital from, certain
subsidiaries of the Company due to net capital requirements (ix) potential
liability under federal and state securities and other laws and (x) the effect
of any future acquisitions.

DONALDSON, LUFKIN & JENRETTE, INC. & SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 1997

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
------------------------------------------

The consolidated financial statements include Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette,
Inc. and its subsidiaries ("DLJ" or the "Company"). All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company is a
majority owned subsidiary of the Equitable Companies Incorporated and its
subsidiaries (together, "Equitable"). The Company's separate financial
statements reflect Equitable's cost basis established at the time of
Equitable's acquisition of the Company in 1985.

DLJ is a leading integrated investment and merchant bank that serves
institutional, corporate, governmental and individual clients. DLJ's businesses
include securities underwriting; sales and trading; investment and merchant
banking; correspondent brokerage services; online investment services and asset
management.

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

Substantially all of the Company's financial assets and liabilities, as well as
financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, are carried at market or
fair values or are carried at amounts which approximate fair value because of
their short-term nature. Estimates of fair value are made at a specific point
in time, based on relevant market information and information about the
financial instrument, specifically, the value of the underlying financial
instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could
result from offering for sale at one time the Company's entire holdings of a
particular financial instrument.

For purposes of the consolidated financial statements, the Company considers
all demand deposits held in banks, and certain highly liquid investments with
maturities of 90 days or less other than those held for sale in the ordinary
course of business to be cash equivalents.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase (repurchase agreements) and
securities purchased under agreements to resell (resale agreements) are treated
as financing arrangements and are carried at contract amounts reflective of the
amounts at which the securities will be subsequently reacquired or resold as
specified in the respective agreements. Interest is accrued on such contract
amounts and is included in receivables from and payables to brokers, dealers
and other in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition.
The Company takes possession of the underlying assets purchased under
agreements to resell and obtains additional collateral when the market value
falls below the contract value. Repurchase and resale agreements with the same
counterparty, same maturity date, which settle through the Federal Reserve
system and which are subject to master netting agreements are presented net in
the consolidated financial statements.

Securities borrowed and securities loaned are financing arrangements which are
recorded at the amount of cash collateral advanced or received. Securities
borrowed transactions require the Company to deposit cash, letters of credit or
other collateral with the lender. With respect to securities loaned, the
Company receives collateral in the form of cash or other collateral in an
amount generally in excess of the market value of securities loaned. The
Company monitors the market value of securities borrowed and loaned on a daily
basis with additional collateral obtained or refunded as necessary.

Receivables from and payables to customers include amounts due on cash and
margin transactions. Securities owned by customers are held as collateral for
these receivables. Such collateral is not reflected in the consolidated
financial statements.

DONALDSON, LUFKIN & JENRETTE, INC. & SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements-(Continued)

U.S. government and agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, options,
futures and forward transactions and certain other debt obligations are
recorded in the consolidated financial statements on a trade date basis. All
other securities are recorded on a settlement date basis and adjustments are
made to a trade date basis, if significant.

Securities owned (other than long-term corporate development investments) are
carried at market value. Changes in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)
arising from fluctuations in market value or upon realization of security
positions are reflected in revenues, principal transactions-net, trading.

Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales to the extent that the
Company has surrendered control over such assets.

Long-term corporate development investments represent the Company's involvement
in private debt and equity investments which generally have no readily
available market or may otherwise be restricted as to resale under the
Securities Act of 1933. Accordingly, these investments are carried at estimated
fair value as determined by the Finance Committee of the Board of Directors.
The cost of these investments was $323.2 million and $246.4 million at December
31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The decrease in net unrealized depreciation of
long-term corporate development investments amounted to $34.5 million for the
year ended December 31, 1997, and the decrease in net unrealized appreciation
amounted to $50.3 million and $97.8 million for the years ended December 31,
1996 and 1995, respectively. Changes in net unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) arising from changes in fair value or upon realization are
reflected in revenues, principal transactions-net, investment.

Property and equipment are carried at cost and are depreciated on a
straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the related assets
ranging from three to eight years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over
the lesser of the useful life of the improvement or term of the lease. Exchange
memberships owned by the Company are included in other assets and are carried
at cost.

Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries denominated in non-U.S. dollar
currencies are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the date of the
consolidated statements of financial condition. Revenues and expenses are
translated at average exchange rates during the period. The gains or losses
resulting from translating foreign currency financial statements into U.S.
dollars are included as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Gains or
losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the
consolidated statements of income.

Prior to January 1, 1997, the Company was included in the consolidated Federal
income tax returns filed by Equitable. DLJ provided taxes as if the Company
filed a separate tax return. Related current and deferred tax receivables or
liabilities with Equitable are included in other assets or liabilities in the
consolidated statements of financial condition. Deferred tax expenses and
benefits are recognized in the consolidated financial statements for the
changes in deferred tax liabilities and assets. Under a tax sharing agreement
with Equitable, all Federal taxes payable by the Company were payable to
Equitable for periods while the Company was at least 80% owned by Equitable.
Effective January 1, 1997, Equitable's ownership for tax purposes declined to
under 80% and therefore, the Company will file its own U.S. consolidated
Federal income tax return separate and apart from Equitable.

All liabilities related to postretirement and postemployment benefits have been
provided for and the related costs are not significant.

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No.
123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." Pursuant to SFAS No. 123, the
Company continues to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provides
pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share disclosures for employee
stock option grants as if the fair-value-based method defined in SFAS No. 123
had been applied.

DONALDSON, LUFKIN & JENRETTE, INC. & SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements-(Continued)

The Company calculates earnings per common share in accordance with SFAS No.
128, "Earnings per Share," which was issued in February 1997. This statement
replaces the presentation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share with
a presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per
share excludes the dilutive effects of stock options, non-vested restricted
stock units and convertible debt. Diluted earnings per share reflect all
potential dilutive securities. All earnings per common share amounts reflect
the adoption of this statement.

In December 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
No. 127, "Deferral of the Effective Date of Certain Provisions of FASB
Statement No. 125," which delays until January 1, 1998 the effective date for
certain provisions, including repurchase agreements, securities lending
transactions and similar transactions. The deferred provisions of this
statement are not expected to have a material effect on the consolidated
financial statements.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year consolidated financial
statements to conform to the 1997 presentation.

2. Equity Distribution
-------------------

On October 30, 1995, the Company completed an initial public offering ("IPO").
Of the 10.6 million shares of common stock sold in the IPO, 7.3 million shares
were sold by Equitable and 3.3 million shares were sold by the Company, at
$27.00 per share. Proceeds to the Company from the IPO amounted to
approximately $81.2 million, net of related expenses.

3. Related Party Transactions
--------------------------

In the normal course of business, the Company provides brokerage services
including clearance, investment banking and related activities for Equitable
and certain of its affiliates. The amounts related to such activities are not
significant.

The Company is the sponsor of the $1.25 billion DLJ Bridge Fund which provides
short-term loans in connection with DLJ's merchant banking and financial
advisory businesses. The Bridge Fund has a $750 million commitment of
subordinated debt from Equitable and a $500 million commitment of senior
revolving debt by a commercial bank syndicate. Any loans made by the DLJ Bridge
Fund would be expected to be refinanced, and the outstanding amounts repaid,
within a short-term period. The Company has agreed to pay Equitable the first
$25 million of aggregate principal losses incurred by Equitable with respect to
all bridge loans. To the extent such payments by the Company do not fully cover
any such losses incurred by Equitable, Equitable is entitled to receive all
other distributions otherwise payable to the Company with respect to DLJ Bridge
Fund activities until such losses have been recovered. The Company has also
agreed to pay Equitable the amount, if any, by which any principal loss on an
individual loan exceeds $150 million. The DLJ Bridge Fund currently has one
individual bridge loan outstanding in excess of $150 million. Pursuant to
arrangements between the Company and the commercial bank syndicate, the Company
is at risk for a significant portion of any loans funded by such banks.
However, substantially all of the bridge loans have been made without using the
bank commitment. At December 31, 1997, the DLJ Bridge Fund had extended $565.1
million of short-term bridge loans which are expected to be refinanced in the
first quarter of 1998.

Dividends on common stock of $21.3 million, $21.4 million and $21.6 million
were paid or accrued to Equitable for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996
and 1995, respectively.

4. Cash and Securities Segregated Under Federal and Other Regulations
------------------------------------------------------------------

Cash of $13.7 million and $13.2 million and securities with a market value of
$711.0 million and $770.0 million as of December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively, have been segregated in special reserve bank accounts for the
benefit of customers in accordance with regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission and the Commodities Futures Trading Commission.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements-(Continued)

5. Borrowings
----------

Short-term borrowings are generally demand obligations, at interest rates
approximating Federal fund rates from banks and other financial institutions.
Such borrowings are generally used to finance securities inventories, to
facilitate the securities settlement process and to finance securities
purchased by customers on margin. At December 31, 1997 and 1996, securities
owned by the Company, aggregating $190.5 million and $363.6 million,
respectively, were pledged to secure certain of these borrowings.

Short-term borrowings and repurchase agreements and the weighted average
interest rates related to these borrowings at December 31, 1997 and 1996 are as
follows:

Weighted Average
Amounts Interest Rates
December 31, December 31,

1997 1996 1997 1996
--------- -------- --------- ---------
(In millions)

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase.............. $ 36,007 $ 29,378 6.04% 6.08%
Bank loans.................................................. 988 669 6.57 6.89
Borrowings from other financial institutions................ 133 197 6.21 6.95

Included in short-term borrowings at December 31, 1997 and 1996 are $297.4
million and $297.0 million, respectively of structured notes with maturities of
less than one year.

In January 1998, the Company commenced a $1.0 billion commercial paper program.
Obligations issued thereunder (the "Notes") are exempt from registration under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The Company also finances its activities through long-term borrowing
arrangements. Long-term borrowings, including current maturities of $32.8
million and $112.0 million at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, consist
of the following:

========== ============

Structured notes are customized financing instruments in which the amount of
interest or principal paid on the debt obligation is linked to the return on
specific cash instruments. The notes, most of which carry a zero coupon, mature
at various dates, in excess of one year, through 2012.

Interest paid on all borrowings and financing arrangements amounted to $3.9
billion, $2.8 billion and $2.7 billion for the years ended December 31, 1997,
1996 and 1995, respectively.

In connection with its 1997 and 1996 financings, the Company:

1996
- ----

Established a shelf registration ("shelf") for the issuance, from time to time,
of up to $500 million of Senior Debt Securities and/or Preferred Stock and in
connection therewith, completed an offering of $250 million aggregate principal
amount of 5 5/8% Medium-Term Notes due February 15, 2016. The notes are
repayable by the Company, in whole or in part, at the option of the holders on
February 15, 2001. The Company also issued $200 million Fixed/Adjustable Rate
Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series A from this shelf.

Exercised its option under the terms of the $8.83 Cumulative Preferred Stock
agreement to exchange all 2.25 million shares outstanding for $225 million in
aggregate principal amount of 9 5/8% Subordinated Exchange Notes due 2003,
which includes $20.0 million due to a subsidiary of Equitable at December 31,
1997.

1997
- ----

Borrowed an additional $118.5 million under its senior subordinated revolving
credit agreement and extended the maturity thereon to January 30, 2000.
Interest thereon is 6.6875% and 6.375% at December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively and is calculated based on the London Interbank Offered Rate
("LIBOR").

Established a $300 million Medium-Term Notes program, of which $200.0 million
with a weighted average interest rate of 6.48% were outstanding at December 31,
1997. The Company has entered into interest rate swap transactions to convert
$190.0 million of such fixed rate notes into floating rate notes based upon
LIBOR. At December 31, 1997, the weighted average effective interest rates on
these notes was 6.08 %.

Established a $1.0 billion senior or subordinated debt securities shelf
registration of which up to $500 million has been designated for the offering
of Medium-Term Notes due nine months or more from the date of issuance. At
December 31, 1997 there were $150 million of notes at a fixed rate of 6.90% and
$100 million of notes at a floating rate of 6.28% based upon LIBOR outstanding
under this offering. The Company has entered into an interest rate swap
transaction to convert such floating rate notes into fixed rate notes at 6.94%.
The Company issued $350 million of Global Floating Rate Notes which bear
interest at a floating rate equal to LIBOR plus 0.25% and mature in 2002 and
which are redeemable by the Company in whole or in part on any interest payment
date on or after September 2000.

Completed a shelf registration for the offering of up to $300 million of senior
or subordinated debt securities or preferred stock. In January 1998, the
Company issued an initial $175 million Fixed/Adjustable Rate Cumulative
Preferred Stock, Series B, from this shelf registration.

Repaid in full the $88.0 million 7.88% Medium-Term Notes plus accrued interest.

Replaced several individual credit facilities aggregating $1.925 billion with a
$2.0 billion revolving credit facility, of which $1.0 billion may be unsecured.
There were no borrowings outstanding under this agreement at December 31, 1997.

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions
of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 1997
and 1996 are as follows:

----------- -----------
(In thousands)

Deferred tax assets:
Inventory..................................... $ 6,657 $ 15,463

Other......................................... (2,871) (282)
---------- -----------

Net deferred tax asset............................. $ 517,586 $ 383,353
=========

There are no valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets at
December 31, 1997 and 1996 since management has determined that there is
sufficient taxable income from carryback years and anticipated future reversals
of existing taxable temporary differences to offset the tax benefit of
deductible temporary differences. Although realization is not assured,
management believes it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax
assets will be realized. The amount of the deferred tax assets considered
realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future
taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced.

An affiliate of Equitable was included in the combined return for certain state
and local tax returns filed by the Company. Effective January 1, 1997,
Equitable's ownership for tax purposes declined to under 80% and therefore such
affiliate is no longer included in the Company's state and local tax returns.

Federal income taxes paid in the year ended December 31, 1997 were $293.8
million, including federal income tax equivalents paid to Equitable of $18.6
million. Net federal income tax equivalents paid to Equitable were $267.5
million and $277.8 million in the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.

7. Net Capital
-----------

The Company's wholly owned principal subsidiary, Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette
Securities Corporation ("DLJSC") is a registered broker-dealer, a registered
futures commission merchant and member firm of The New York Stock Exchange,
Inc. (the "NYSE") and, accordingly is subject to the minimum net capital
requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, NYSE and the
Commodities Futures Trading Commission. As such, it is subject to NYSE's net
capital rule which conforms to the Uniform Net Capital Rule pursuant to rule
15c3-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under the alternative method
permitted by this rule, the required net capital, as defined, shall not be less
than two percent of aggregate debit balances arising from customer
transactions, as defined, or four percent of segregated funds, as defined,
whichever is greater. The NYSE may also require a member firm to reduce its
business if its net capital is less than four percent of aggregate debit
balances and may prohibit a member firm from expanding its business and
declaring cash dividends if its net capital is less than five percent of
aggregate debit balances. At December 31, 1997, DLJSC's net capital of
approximately $762.2 million was 16% of aggregate debit balances and in excess
of the minimum requirement by approximately $654.9 million.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements-(Continued)

Company are subject to net capital requirements of their respective regulatory
agencies. At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company and its broker-dealer
subsidiaries were in compliance with all applicable regulatory capital adequacy
requirements.

8. Derivative Financial Instruments
--------------------------------

Substantially all of the Company's activities related to derivatives are, by
their nature, trading activities which are primarily for the purpose of
customer accommodations. The Company enters into certain contractual agreements
referred to as derivatives or off-balance sheet financial instruments involving
futures, forwards and options. The Company's derivative activities consist of
writing over-the-counter ("OTC") options to accommodate its customers needs,
trading in forward contracts in U.S. government and agency issued or guaranteed
securities and in futures contracts on equity-based indices, interest rate
instruments and currencies and issuing structured products based on emerging
market financial instruments and indices. The Company's involvement in swap
contracts and commodity derivative instruments is not significant. Although the
Company may enter into certain derivative instruments to provide an economic
hedge against certain risks, all realized and unrealized gains and losses on
these instruments are recorded currently in the consolidated statements of
income.

Accounting Policies for Derivatives
- -----------------------------------

Changes in unrealized gains or losses as well as realized gains and losses at
settlement on all derivative instruments (options, forward and futures
contracts) are included in the consolidated statements of income in principal
transactions-net, trading. Related offsetting amounts are presented as
receivables or payables from brokers, dealers and other in the consolidated
statements of financial condition. Fair value of the options includes the
unamortized premiums which are deferred and are included in payables to
brokers, dealers and other in the consolidated statements of financial
condition. Such premiums are recognized over the life of the option contracts
on a straight-line basis or are recognized through the change in the fair value
of the option in principal transactions-net, trading revenue in the
consolidated statements of income. Cash flows from derivative instruments are
presented as operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Options
- -------

As part of customer accommodations the Company writes option contracts
specifically designed to meet customers' needs. As a writer of OTC option
contracts, the Company receives a cash premium at the beginning of the contract
period and bears the risk of unfavorable changes in the value of the financial
instruments underlying the options. Options written do not expose the Company
to credit risk since they obligate the Company (not its counterparty) to
perform. With respect to the financial instruments underlying these options,
the Company makes a determination that credit exposures are appropriate for the
particular counterparty with whom business is conducted. The Company generally
covers its market risk associated with the options business by purchasing or
selling cash or other derivative financial instruments on a proprietary basis.
Such purchases and sales may include debt and equity securities, futures and
forward contracts and options. The Company reviews the creditworthiness of the
counterparties of such covering transactions. Future cash requirements for
options written are equal to the fair value of the options. Option contracts
are typically written for a duration of less than 13 months and are included in
the consolidated statements of financial condition at fair value.

DONALDSON, LUFKIN & JENRETTE, INC. & SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements-(Continued)

The notional (contract) values of the written options were $5.4 billion and
$8.6 billion at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Such options
contracts are covered by the following financial instruments which the Company
has purchased or sold on a proprietary basis and are reflected in the table
below at either the underlying contract (notional) amounts for derivative
instruments or at market value for cash instruments:

December 31,

1997 1996

(In millions)
U.S. government, mortgage-backed
securities and options thereon..... $ 3,773 $ 4,679
Foreign sovereign debt securities...... 73 2,460
Futures contracts...................... 219 306
Equities and other..................... 1,340 1,167
------- -------
Total............................ $ 5,405 $ 8,612
======= =======

The trading revenues from option writing activity (net of related interest
expense) were approximately $84.9 million, $71.2 million and $96.0 million for
the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The fair value
of options is measured by the unamortized premiums and the intrinsic value
determined from various pricing sources. The average fair value of the options
was approximately $223.3 million and $172.7 million for the years ended
December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The fair values of options were
approximately $196.4 million and $241.9 million at December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively, and were included as liabilities in the accompanying consolidated
statements of financial condition.

Forwards and Futures
- --------------------

As part of its trading activities, the Company enters into forward purchases
and sales contracts for mortgage-backed securities and foreign currencies. The
Company also enters into futures contracts on equity-based indices, foreign
currencies and other financial instruments as well as options on futures
contracts. Forward and futures contracts are treated as off-balance sheet
items. Market risk for a forward and future is the movement of price on the
notional value of the contracts. Cash requirements at inception equal the
original margin on futures contracts. Generally, no cash is required at
inception for forward contracts. The cash requirement at settlement is equal to
the notional value on the contract for a forward contract and the daily changes
in market value for a futures contract. The performance of forward contracts is
dependent on the financial reliability of the counterparty and exposes the
Company to credit risk. The Company monitors credit exposure of forward
contracts by limiting transactions with specific counterparties, reviewing
credit limits and adhering to internally established credit extension policies.
Futures contracts and options on futures contracts are exchange-traded
financial instruments that generally do not represent exposure to credit risk
due to daily cash settlements of the change in market value with the exchanges.
The credit risk with the futures exchange is limited to the net positive change
in the market value for a single day.

Net trading gains (losses) on forward contracts were $(5.1) million, $39.0
million and $149.0 million and net trading gains (losses) on futures contracts
were $(24.0) million, $8.0 million and $(58.0) million for the years ended
December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Average fair values during the period were computed using month-end averages.
The fair values of futures contracts are measured by reference to quoted market
prices. Fair values of forward contracts are estimated on the basis of dealer
quotes, pricing models or quoted prices for financial instruments with similar
characteristics. The Company generally enters into futures and forward
transactions for periods of 90 days or less. The remaining maturities for all
options, forwards and futures are less than 13 months.

9. Financial Instruments With Off-Balance Sheet Risk
-------------------------------------------------

In the normal course of business, the Company's customer, trading and
correspondent clearance activities involve the execution, settlement and
financing of various securities and financial instrument transactions. The
execution of these transactions includes the purchase and sale (including
"short sales") of securities, the writing of options, and the purchase and sale
of financial futures contracts and forward purchase and sales contracts for
mortgage-backed securities and foreign currencies. These activities may expose
the Company to off-balance sheet risk in the event the customer or counterparty
to the transaction is unable to fulfill its contractual obligations and margin
requirements are not sufficient to fully cover losses. In these situations, the
Company may be required to purchase or sell financial instruments at prevailing
market prices which may not fully cover the obligations of its customers or
counterparties. The Company limits this risk by requiring customers and
counterparties to maintain margin collateral that is in compliance with
regulatory and internal guidelines. Additionally, with respect to the Company's
correspondent clearance activities, introducing correspondent brokers are
required to guarantee the performance of their customers in meeting contractual
obligations.

DONALDSON, LUFKIN & JENRETTE, INC. & SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements-(Continued)

The Company's financing and securities settlement activities involve the
Company using securities as collateral in support of various secured financing
sources. In the event the counterparty does not meet its contracted obligation
to return securities used as collateral, the Company may be exposed to the risk
of reacquiring the securities at prevailing market prices in order to satisfy
its obligations. The Company controls this risk by monitoring the market value
of securities pledged on a daily basis and by requiring adjustments of
collateral levels in the event of excess market exposure. As of December 31,
1997, the Company has pledged securities with a market value of approximately
$2.2 billion as collateral for securities borrowed with a market value of
approximately $2.0 billion. In accordance with industry practice, the amounts
of these securities borrowed and pledged are not reflected in the consolidated
statements of financial condition.

The Company's activities include entering into forward contracts which provide
for the future delivery or receipt of securities at a specified price or yield.
Risks arise from the potential inability of counterparties to perform under the
terms of the contracts and from changes in the value of securities and interest
rates. The Company controls such risks by monitoring the market value of the
securities contracted for on a daily basis and reviewing the creditworthiness
of the counterparties. The settlement of these transactions is not expected to
have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.

Risks associated with letters of credit, guarantees or underwriting commitments
are not significant.

10. Concentrations of Credit Risk
-----------------------------

As a securities broker and dealer, the Company is engaged in various securities
trading and brokerage activities servicing a diverse group of domestic and
foreign corporations, governments, institutional and individual investors. A
substantial portion of the Company's transactions are executed with and on
behalf of institutional investors including other brokers and dealers, mortgage
brokers, commercial banks, U.S. governmental agencies, mutual funds and other
financial institutions and are generally collateralized. The Company's exposure
to credit risk associated with the nonperformance of these counterparties in
fulfilling their contractual obligations pursuant to securities transactions,
can be directly impacted by volatile securities markets, credit markets and
regulatory changes. Credit risk is the amount of accounting loss the Company
would incur if a counterparty failed to perform its obligations under
contractual terms and the collateral held, if any, was deemed insufficient. All
counterparties are reviewed on a regular basis to establish appropriate
exposure limits for a variety of transactions. In certain cases, specific
transactions are analyzed to determine the amount of potential exposure that
could arise, and the counterparty's credit is reviewed to determine whether it
supports such exposure. In addition to the counterparty's credit status, the
Company analyzes market movements that could affect exposure levels. The
Company considers four main factors that may affect trades in determining
trading limits: the settlement method; the time it will take for a trade to
settle (i.e., the maturity of the trade); the volatility that could affect the
value of the securities involved in the trade; and the size of the trade. In
addition to determining trading limits, the Company actively manages the credit
exposure relating to its trading activities by entering into master netting
agreements when feasible; monitoring the creditworthiness of counterparties and
the related trading limits on an ongoing basis, requesting additional
collateral when deemed necessary; diversifying and limiting exposure to
individual counterparties and geographic locations; and limiting the duration
of exposure. In certain cases, the Company may also close out transactions or
assign them to other counterparties when deemed necessary or appropriate to
mitigate credit risks.

The Company's customer securities activities are transacted on either a cash or
margin basis. In margin transactions, the Company extends credit to the
customer, subject to various regulatory and internal margin requirements,
collateralized by cash and securities in the customer's account. The Company
seeks to control the risks associated with its customer activities by requiring
customers to maintain margin collateral in compliance with various regulatory
and internal guidelines. The Company monitors required margin levels daily and,
pursuant to such guidelines, requires the customers to deposit additional
collateral, or reduce positions, when necessary.

11. Preferred Securities
--------------------

In 1996, the Company and its wholly owned trust, DLJ Capital Trust I (the
"Trust") completed an offering of $200 million of the Trust's 8.42% mandatorily
redeemable preferred securities. The Trust exists for the sole purpose of
issuing preferred securities and common securities and investing the proceeds
in an equivalent amount of junior subordinated debentures of the Company. The
only assets of its Trust at December 31, 1997 and 1996 were $200 million of
8.42% Junior Subordinated Debentures of the Company due 2046. The Junior
Subordinated Debentures are redeemable by the Company, in whole or in part, on
or after August 31, 2001. The Trust must redeem its preferred securities having
an aggregate liquidation amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of
junior subordinated debentures redeemed.

The Company guarantees payment to the holders of the preferred securities
issued by the Trust, to the extent the Company has made principal and interest
payments on the Junior Subordinated Debentures. The Company has issued a full
and unconditional guarantee of the Trust's obligations under the preferred
securities of the Trust.

12. Stockholders' Equity
--------------------
In 1995, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation whereby the
amount of total authorized shares of Common Stock was increased to 150.0
million shares and the Company declared a 5-for-1 stock split.

In 1995, the Company completed an initial public offering resulting in the sale
of 3.3 million shares of Common Stock at $27.00 per share. Proceeds to the
Company amounted to approximately $81.2 million, net of related expenses. In
connection with the Initial Public Offering, the Company adopted the 1995
Restricted Stock Unit Plan and granted approximately 5.2 million units under
this plan.

In 1996, the Company issued 4.0 million shares of Fixed/Adjustable Rate
Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series A, with a liquidation preference of $50 per
share. Dividends on the preferred stock are cumulative and payable quarterly at
a rate of 5.94% per annum through November 30, 2001. Thereafter, the dividend
rate will be adjusted based on various indices, not to be less than 6.44% nor
higher than 12.44%. The preferred stock is redeemable, in whole or in part, at
the option of the Company, on or after November 30, 2001. At December 31, 1997
and 1996, 4.0 million shares of such preferred stock were authorized, issued
and outstanding.

During 1997, 1.8 million restricted stock units vested and were converted into
common stock from the Company's authorized and unissued shares. Approximately
600,000 of such shares were deposited in a grantor trust pursuant to the
Executive Deferred Compensation Plan which was effective January 1, 1997.

During 1997, the Company exercised its option to redeem all of the outstanding
convertible debentures issued in connection with the acquisition of a London
based financial advisory firm. As a result, the holders of such debentures
elected to convert such debentures into an aggregate of 685,204 shares of
common stock of the Company.

In January 1998, the Company issued 3.5 million shares of Fixed/Adjustable Rate
Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series B, with a liquidation preference of $50 per
share ($175.0 million aggregate liquidation value) from a shelf registration
statement previously filed by the Company. Dividends on the preferred stock are
cumulative and payable quarterly at the rate of 5.30% per annum through January
2003, subject to adjustment in later years. The preferred stock is redeemable,
in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, on or after January 15,
2003.

13. Earnings Per Share
------------------

Basic and diluted earnings per common share amounts have been calculated by
dividing earnings applicable to common shares (net income less preferred
dividends) by the weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings
per common share also include the dilutive effects of shares of common stock
issuable under the Restricted Stock Unit Plan, and options and convertible debt
under the treasury stock method and "if-converted" method, respectively. In
February 1998, approximately 2.2 million restricted stock units vested and will
be converted into the Company's common stock and included in the calculation of
basic earnings per common share.

The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the
basic and diluted earnings per common share computations at December 31 (in

14. Employee Compensation and Benefit Plans
---------------------------------------

1996 Incentive Compensation Plan
- --------------------------------
Awards under the 1996 Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Incentive Plan") are
determined by the Compensation and Management Committee of the Board of
Directors. The Incentive Plan provides for the creation of short-term and
long-term award pools to be awarded to key employees of the Company. Short-term
award pools are for a performance period up to two years and are based on 10%
of pre-tax earnings, as defined. Long-term award pools are for performance
periods of three to 10 years and are based on a percentage of pre-tax earnings
and vary with the Company's average return on common equity during the
performance period. Participants may receive awards in the form of cash,
options, shares or restricted stock units; however, stock-based payments are
limited to a total of 8.8 million shares. Under certain circumstances
participants may defer the receipt of part or all of any award. During 1997,
the Management and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors authorized
the creation of a long-term award pool for the performance period from January
1, 1997 to December 31, 1999. Each unit granted under the Plan is equal to a
percentage interest in the long-term award pool. The units vest at the rate of
33 1/3% per year during the performance period. The amount charged to expense
for the Plan was $185.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1997. Amounts
charged to expense for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 were $190.5
million and $132.8 million, respectively, relating to a predecessor long-term
incentive compensation plan that expired on December 31, 1996.

1995 Restricted Stock Unit Plan
- -------------------------------
In 1995, the Company adopted the 1995 Restricted Stock Unit Plan (the "Plan").
Each RSU granted under the Plan represents the right under certain
circumstances to receive a share of Common Stock. These units are subject to
forfeiture in certain circumstances and vest annually in specified proportions
from February 1997 through February 2000. Units that are forfeited under the
Plan will become eligible for subsequent grants. The number of units granted
under the Plan was 5,179,147 units. As of December 31, 1997, 104,948 restricted
stock units were forfeited and 1,792,992 million restricted stock units vested
and were converted to common stock from the Company's authorized and unissued
shares.

Stock Option Plans
- ------------------
In 1995, the Company adopted the 1995 and 1996 Stock Option Plans. Under the
Company's 1995 Stock Option Plan, options to purchase an aggregate of 9,168,678
shares of Common Stock (the maximum allowable under the 1995 Stock Option Plan)
with an exercise price of $27.00 were granted to certain employees. The options
are subject to forfeiture in certain circumstances and vest in two equal
installments in February 1997 and February 1998, and are exercisable for a
period of up to 10 years from the date of the grant. Options that are forfeited
under the 1995 Stock Option Plan will become eligible for subsequent grant
under the 1996 Stock Option Plan.

Options to purchase a maximum of 8,789,851 shares of Common Stock, exclusive of
forfeitures from the 1995 Stock Option Plan, are available under the 1996 Stock
Option Plan (the "1996 Plan"). The options are exercisable for up to 10 years
from the date of grant, are subject to forfeiture in certain circumstances and
vest in four equal installments commencing one year after the date of grant.
Options that are forfeited under the 1996 Plan become eligible for subsequent
grant under that plan.

In 1996, the Company adopted the Non-Employee Directors Stock Plan (the "Plan")
to provide compensation to the Company's non-employee directors in the form of
equity. Such stock options are granted at a price equal to the fair value of
the stock at the date of grant. The options are exercisable for up to 10 years

one year from the date of grant. The total number of shares issuable under the
Plan is 200,000. Any shares issued under the Plan will reduce the number of
shares issuable under the Company's 1996 Stock Option Plan.

A summary of the Company's stock option activity for all plans is as follows:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements-(Continued)

At December 31, 1997, there were 4,942,691 options exercisable at exercise
prices ranging from $27.00-$35.99. The weighted average exercise price of such
options totaled $27.58. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, no options were
exercisable.

The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for its stock option plans
and, accordingly, does not recognize any compensation cost associated with such
plans in the consolidated financial statements. Had the Company determined
compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant date for its options
under SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income and earnings per common share
would have been the pro forma amounts indicated below:

1997 1996 1995
---- ---- ----

Net income (in thousands) As reported $ 408,250 $ 291,300 $ 179,100
Pro forma $ 388,000 $ 273,700 $ 176,200

Basic earnings per common share As reported $ 7.18 $ 5.12 $ 3.15
Pro forma $ 6.81 $ 4.79 $ 3.09

Diluted earnings per common share As reported $ 6.32 $ 4.59 $ 3.09
Pro forma $ 6.01 $ 4.36 $ 3.04

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average
assumptions used for options granted during 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively:
dividend yield of 0.86%, 1.54% and 1.85%; expected volatility of 33%, 25% and
25%, risk-free interest rates of 5.96%, 6.07% and 5.86%; and an expected life
of five years for all grants. The weighted average fair value of options
granted during 1997, 1996 and 1995 were $22.45, $9.35, and $7.36, respectively
per share.

Other Plans
- -----------
The Company has a defined contribution employee benefit plan covering
substantially all of the Company's full-time and certain qualified part-time
employees. Company contributions to this plan are determined by the Board of
Directors of the Company annually and were $9.6 million, $7.4 million and $6.1
million for 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Certain key employees of the Company participate in various other deferred
compensation arrangements which include equity investments in selected merchant
banking activities of the Company funded by deferred compensation of such
employees, certain non-funded, non-qualified deferred compensation plans which
include managed investments, and other non-qualified plans which are funded by
the Company with insurance contracts.

15. Leases, Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
----------------------------------------------

The Company leases office space and equipment under cancelable and
non-cancelable lease agreements which expire on various dates through the year
2016. Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995
aggregated $89.9 million, $76.6 million and $66.2 million, respectively.
Sublease revenue aggregated $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1997
and $1.0 million for each of the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995.

DONALDSON, LUFKIN & JENRETTE, INC. & SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements-(Continued)

At December 31, 1997, minimum rental commitments, exclusive of sublease
revenue, escalation and renewal options, on all non-cancelable leases in excess
of one year, are as follows:

Total Lease
Period Commitments
- ------ ------------

===========

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into underwriting
commitments. Transactions relating to such underwriting commitments that were
open at December 31, 1997, and were subsequently settled, had no material
effect on the consolidated financial statements. The Company also issues
letters of credit for which it is contingently liable for $244.0 million and
$163.0 million at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

The Company has outstanding commitments, expiring on December 31, 1998, to
provide financings to third parties in the total amount of $200.0 million which
would be secured by mortgage loans on real estate properties. At December 31,
1997, there were no amounts borrowed under this facility. In addition, the
Company enters into commitments to extend credit in connection with the
origination and syndication of senior bank debt of non-investment grade
borrowers. At December 31, 1997, unfunded senior bank loan commitments
outstanding amounted to $539.9 million.

The Company has commitments to invest on a side by side basis with merchant
banking partnerships in the amount of $885.6 million at December 31, 1997.

16. Legal Proceedings
-----------------

The Company has been named as a defendant in a number of actions relating to
its various businesses including various civil actions and arbitrations arising
out of its activities as a broker-dealer in securities, as an underwriter and
as an employer and arising out of alleged employee misconduct. The Company is
also involved, from time to time, in proceedings with, and investigations by,
governmental agencies and self-regulatory organizations. Some of the actions
have been brought on behalf of various classes of claimants and seek damages of
material or indeterminate amounts. While the ultimate outcome of litigation
involving the Company cannot be predicted with certainty, management, having
reviewed these actions with its counsel, believes it has meritorious defenses
to all such actions and intends to defend each of these vigorously.

Although there can be no assurance that such actions, proceedings,
investigations and litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the
results of operations of the Company in any future period, depending in part on
the results for such period, in the opinion of management of the Company, based
upon advice of counsel, the ultimate resolution of such actions, proceedings,
investigations and litigation against the Company will not have a material
adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition and/or results of
operations of the Company; except, due to the early stage of the three actions
described below, based upon information currently available to it, management
cannot make an estimate of loss, if any, or predict whether or not such
litigation will have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of
operations in any particular period.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements-(Continued)

In October 1995, DLJSC was named as a defendant in a purported class action
filed in a Texas State Court on behalf of the holders of $550 million principal
amount of subordinated redeemable discount debentures of National Gypsum
Corporation ("NGC") canceled in connection with a Chapter 11 plan of
reorganization for NGC consummated in July 1993. The State Court named
plaintiff also filed an adversary proceeding in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Northern District of Texas seeking a declaratory judgment that the
confirmed NGC plan of reorganization does not bar the class action claims.
Subsequent to the consummation of NGC's plan of reorganization, NGC's shares
traded for values substantially in excess of, and in 1995 NGC was acquired for
a value substantially in excess of, the values upon which NGC's plan of
reorganization was based. The two actions arise out of DLJSC's activities as
financial advisor to NGC in the course of NGC's Chapter 11 reorganization
proceedings. The class action complaint alleges that the plan of reorganization
submitted by NGC was based upon projections by NGC and DLJSC which
intentionally understated forecasts, and provided misleading and incorrect
information in order to hide NGC's true value and that defendants breached
their fiduciary duties by, among other things, providing false, misleading or
incomplete information to deliberately understate the value of NGC. The class
action complaint seeks compensatory and punitive damages purportedly sustained
by the class. On October 10, 1997, DLJSC and others were named as defendants in
a new adversary proceeding in the Bankruptcy Court brought by the NGC
Settlement Trust, an entity created by the NGC plan of reorganization to deal
with asbestos-related claims. The Trust's allegations are substantially similar
to the claims in the State Court action. In court papers dated October 16,
1997, the State Court plaintiff indicated that he would intervene in the
Trust's adversary proceeding. On January 21, 1998, the Bankruptcy Court ruled
that the State Court plaintiff's claims were not barred by the NGC plan of
reorganization insofar as they alleged nondisclosure of certain cost reductions
announced by NGC in October 1993. DLJSC intends to defend itself vigorously
against all of the allegations contained in the complaints. Although there can
be no assurance, the Company does not believe that the ultimate outcome of this
litigation will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial
condition.

In November and December 1995, DLJSC, along with various other parties, was
named as a defendant in a number of purported class actions filed in the U.S.
District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. The complaints allege
violations of the federal securities laws arising out of a public offering in
1994 of $435 million of first mortgage notes of Harrah's Jazz Company and
Harrah's Jazz Finance Corp. The complaints seek to hold DLJSC liable for
various alleged misstatements and omissions contained in the prospectus dated
November 9, 1994. On February 26, 1997, the parties agreed to a settlement of
these actions, subject to the District Court's approval, which was granted on
July 31, 1997. The settlement is also subject to the approval by the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana of proposed
modifications to a confirmed plan of reorganization for Harrah's Jazz Company
and Harrah's Jazz Finance Corp., and the satisfaction or waiver of all
conditions to the effectiveness of the plan, as provided in the plan. There can
be no assurance of the Bankruptcy Court's approval of the modifications to the
plan of reorganization, or that the conditions to the effectiveness of the plan
will be satisfied or waived. In the opinion of management the ultimate
resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's results of operations or on its consolidated financial condition.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements-(Continued)

$126,457,000 aggregate principal amount of 13 1/2% senior notes due 2001 and
126,457 warrants to purchase shares of common stock of Rickel (the "Units")
issued by Rickel in October 1994. The complaint alleges violations of federal
securities laws and common law fraud against DLJSC, as the underwriter of the
Units and as an owner of 7.3% of the common stock of Rickel, Eos Partners, L.P.
and General Electric Capital Corporation, each as owners of 44.2% of the common
stock of Rickel, and members of the board of directors of Rickel, including a
DLJSC managing director. The complaint seeks to hold DLJSC liable for alleged
misstatements and omissions contained in the prospectus and registration
statement filed in connection with the offering of the Units, alleging that the
defendants knew of financial losses and a decline in value of Rickel in the
months prior to the offering and did not disclose such information. The
complaint also alleges that Rickel failed to pay its semi-annual interest
payment due on the Units on December 15, 1995 and that Rickel filed a voluntary
petition for reorganization pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code on
January 10, 1996. DLJSC intends to defend itself vigorously against all of the
allegations contained in the complaint. Although there can be no assurance, the
Company does not believe that the ultimate outcome of this litigation will have
a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition.

17. Industry Segment and Geographic Area Data
-----------------------------------------

The Company currently follows the provisions of SFAS No. 14, "Financial
Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise" in disclosing its business
segments. Pursuant to that statement, the Company is primarily engaged in a
single line of business as a securities broker-dealer, which comprises several
types of services, such as principal and agency transactions, underwriting and
investment banking and correspondent clearing. These activities constitute a
single business segment. Total assets and total revenues related to the
Company's foreign operations approximated $8.6 billion and $534.2 million,
respectively at December 31, 1997. Total assets and revenues related to such
operations at December 31, 1996 were not significant.

In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information" which is effective for financial statements
for periods beginning after December 15, 1997. This statement requires a
company to report financial and descriptive information about its reportable
operating segments. The Company is evaluating the manner in which it will
disclose its segment data and intends to present the disclosures required under
this statement. Currently, the Company views its business from the perspective
of three principal operating groups: the Banking Group, the Capital Markets
Group and the Financial Services Group. In determining which segments of
business the Company operates in for purposes of the disclosures required by
this statement, the Company may redesignate certain portions of the business
within the three principal groups or identify additional segments.

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

1. Basis of Presentation
---------------------

The condensed financial statements of Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, Inc.
("Parent Company Only") should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements of Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, Inc.
and subsidiaries ("DLJ" or the "Company") and the notes thereto.
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for under the equity method.

2. Related Party Transactions
--------------------------
Receivables from subsidiaries include $1,923.7 million and $1,303.8
million loaned under master note agreements at December 31, 1997 and
1996, respectively. Substantially all receivables from subsidiaries
provide for interest based on Federal funds rates.

The amount of cash dividends paid to the Company by consolidated
subsidiaries of the Company amounted to $136.0 million, $57.1 million
and $107.4 million for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996, and
1995, respectively. There are no restrictions on the payment of
dividends, except for those stipulated in certain debt agreements and in
those applicable to brokers and dealers which provide for certain
minimum amounts of capital to be maintained to satisfy regulatory
requirements in the Company's domestic and foreign broker-dealer
subsidiaries. Under certain circumstances, the amount of excess capital
that can be withdrawn is limited. The regulatory requirements are
designed to measure the general financial integrity and liquidity of
broker-dealers and provide minimum acceptable net capital levels to
satisfy commitments to customers. Unless an adequate level of capital is
maintained, regulated broker-dealer subsidiaries would be prohibited
from paying dividends to the Company.

3. Long-term Borrowings
--------------------
The Company finances certain of its activities through long-term
borrowing arrangements. Long-term borrowings from banks include
current maturities of $90.4 million at December 31, 1996. At December
31, 1997, there were no current maturities of long-term borrowings.
Long-term borrowings consist of the following:
