Item 1: Business
Overview

     Gabelli  Asset  Management  Inc.  (the  "Company";  and where  the  context
requires,   the  "Company"   includes  its  predecessors  and  its  consolidated
subsidiaries)  is a provider of investment  advisory and  brokerage  services to
mutual fund, institutional and high net worth investors, primarily in the United
States.  The  Company  generally  manages  assets on a  discretionary  basis and
invests  in a variety  of U.S.  and  international  securities  through  various
investment  styles.  Unlike many of its competitors,  the Company's  business is
focused  principally on investment  management.  As such, the Company's revenues
are largely  based on the level of assets under  management  in its business and
the level of fees  associated with its various  investment  products rather than
total  assets  of  the  Company.  As of  December  31,  2000,  the  Company  had
approximately  $23.6  billion  of assets  under  management,  88% of which  were
invested in equity securities.

Organization and Formation Transactions

     The  Company  was  incorporated  in April 1998 as "Alpha G, Inc." under the
laws of the state of New York and renamed  "Gabelli  Asset  Management  Inc." in
February  1999. The Company is a holding  company formed in connection  with the
reorganization  (the  "Reorganization")  of Gabelli Funds,  Inc. ("GFI") and the
Company's subsequent initial public offering ("Offering").  On February 9, 1999,
in connection with the  Reorganization,  the Company issued 24 million shares of
Class B Common Stock, representing all of its then issued and outstanding common
stock  to GFI  and  two  of  GFI's  subsidiaries  for  substantially  all of the
operating assets and liabilities of GFI relating to its institutional and retail
asset management, mutual fund advisory, underwriting and brokerage business. GFI
was later renamed "Gabelli Group Capital Partners, Inc." ("GGCP").

     On February  11,  1999,  the Company  sold 6 million  shares of its Class A
Common  Stock in the  Offering  to the  public at a price of $17.50  per  share,
receiving   approximately  $96  million  after  fees  and  expenses  through  an
underwriting  led by Merrill  Lynch & Co.,  Salomon  Smith  Barney and Gabelli &
Company.

    The  Company's  principal  executive  offices are  located at One  Corporate
Center, Rye, New York 10580 and the telephone number is (914) 921-3700.

Business Description

     GFI,  predecessor  to the  Company,  was  originally  founded in 1976 as an
institutional  broker-dealer  and entered the separate accounts business in 1977
and the mutual fund business in 1986.  Its initial money  management  activities
centered on the Company's value-oriented investment philosophy.  Starting in the
mid-1980s,  the Company began  building upon its core of  value-oriented  equity
investment  products by adding new  investment  strategies  designed for clients
seeking to invest in growth-oriented equities,  convertible securities and fixed
income products. Since then, the Company has continued to build its franchise by
expanding  its  investment  management  capabilities  through  the  addition  of
industry  specific,  international,  global,  and real estate  oriented  product
offerings.  Throughout its 24-year history, the Company has marketed most of its
products under the "Gabelli" brand name.

                                       2


     The Company's assets under management are organized principally in three
groups:  Mutual Funds, Separate Accounts and Partnerships.

|X|  Mutual Funds: At December 31, 2000, the Company had $12.1 billion of assets
     under   management  in  open-end   mutual  funds  and   closed-end   funds,
     representing   approximately  51%  of  the  Company's  total  assets  under
     management.  The Company  currently  provides  advisory services to (i) the
     Gabelli family of funds,  which consists of 19 open-end  mutual funds and 4
     closed-end funds; (ii) The Treasurer's Fund, consisting of 3 open-end money
     market  funds (the  "Treasurer's  Funds");  and (iii) the Gabelli  Westwood
     family of funds,  consisting  of 6 open-end  mutual  funds,  5 of which are
     managed on a day-to-day basis by an unaffiliated subadviser  (collectively,
     the "Mutual Funds").  The Mutual Funds have a long-term record of achieving
     high  returns,  relative to similar  investment  products.  At December 31,
     2000,  98% of the assets  under  management  in the  open-end  Mutual Funds
     having an overall rating from  Morningstar,  Inc.  ("Morningstar")  were in
     open-end  Mutual  Funds  ranked  "three  stars" or better,  with 7% of such
     assets in open-end  Mutual Funds ranked "five stars" and 86% of such assets
     in open-end  Mutual Funds  ranked  "four stars" on an overall  basis (i.e.,
     based on three-,  five- and ten-year risk adjusted  average  returns).  The
     Gabelli  family of funds was  honored  as the top  performing  mutual  fund
     family by  Mutual  Funds  Magazine  for  1997.  There can be no  assurance,
     however,  that these  funds will be able to maintain  such  ratings or that
     past  performance  will be  indicative of future  results.  At December 31,
     2000,  approximately  44% of  the  Company's  assets  under  management  in
     open-end,  no-load  equity  Mutual Funds had been obtained  through  direct
     sales relationships. The Company also has its open-end Mutual Funds through
     Third-Party Distribution Programs,  particularly No-Transaction Fee ("NTF")
     Programs, and has developed additional classes of shares for several of its
     mutual funds for sale through additional third- party distribution channels
     on a  commission  basis.  Net cash  flows  from  Third  Party  Distribution
     Programs  accounted  for 90% of all cash flows into  open-end  equity funds
     during  2000 and  represented  nearly 56% of all  assets in these  funds at
     December 31, 2000.

o    Separate  Accounts:  At December 31, 2000, the Company had $11.0 billion of
     assets in approximately 1,500 separate accounts, representing approximately
     47% of the Company's total assets under  management.  The Company currently
     provides advisory services to a broad range of investors including high net
     worth  individuals.  Historically,  the majority of the client accounts are
     high net worth client  accounts.  As of December  31, 2000,  high net worth
     accounts  (including the account assets of individuals and their individual
     retirement  accounts  generally  having a  minimum  account  balance  of $1
     million) comprised approximately 86% of the number of Separate Accounts and
     approximately  30% of the  assets.  Foundation  and  endowment  fund assets
     represented  an additional  9% of the number of Separate  Accounts and over
     12% of the assets.  The sub advisory portion of the Separate  Accounts (sub
     advisor to certain other third-party  investment funds) held  approximately
     $1.9  billion  or 17% of total  assets  with less than 1% of the  number of
     accounts.  Institutional  client accounts,  which include corporate pension
     and profit sharing plans,  jointly-trusteed  plans,  public funds comprised
     the balance.  In general,  these  accounts are managed to meet the specific
     needs and  objectives  of the  particular  client by  utilizing  investment
     strategies - traditional  "value",  "large cap growth",  "large cap value",
     "global",  "international  growth" and convertible bond techniques that are
     within the Company's areas of expertise.  The Company distinguishes between
     taxable and tax free assets and manages client  portfolios for the greatest
     tax benefit within given investment strategies.  At December 31, 2000, over
     90% of the Company's  assets in Separate  Accounts  (excluding sub advisory
     assets) had been obtained through direct sales  relationships.  The Company
     believes  that an  important  element  of  future  growth  in the  Separate
     Accounts is dependent on client relationships and client retention. In this
     vein,  the company hosts annual  client  seminars and is  establishing  and
     staffing relationship offices around the country.

o    Partnerships: The Company also provides alternative investments through its
     majority-owned   subsidiary,   Gabelli  Securities,   Inc.  ("GSI").  These
     alternative  investment  products  consist  primarily  of  risk  arbitrage,
     merchant banking and global equities  long/short funds  (collectively,  the
     "Partnerships").   The  Partnerships   had  $437  million  of  assets,   or
     approximately 2% of total assets under management, at December 31, 2000.

                                       3


    Investment  advisory and incentive  fees  relating to the Mutual Funds,  the
Separate Accounts, and the Partnerships  generated  approximately 84% and 81% of
the Company's total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2000, respectively.

     The Company's majority owned subsidiary,  Gabelli & Company, Inc. ("Gabelli
&  Company"),  is a  registered  broker-dealer  and a  member  of  the  National
Association of Securities  Dealers,  Inc.  ("NASD") and acts as underwriter  and
distributor  of the  open-end  Mutual  Funds and  provides  brokerage,  trading,
underwriting and research  services.  On December 22, 2000 the Company acquired,
through its subsidiary GSI, all of the outstanding common stock of Lynch Capital
Corporation  ("Lynch  Capital"),  a registered  broker dealer.  The name Gabelli
Direct Inc. has been  reserved  with the NASD to replace the name Lynch  Capital
Corporation.

as of the dates shown and their compound annual growth rates ("CAGR").

(a) Compound annual growth rate.

(b) Effective  April 14, 1997,  the Company  increased  its ownership of Gabelli
    Fixed Income L.L.C. from 50% to 80.1%,  thereby causing Gabelli Fixed Income
    L.L.C. to become a consolidated subsidiary of the Company.  Accordingly, for
    periods  after April 14, 1997,  the assets  managed by Gabelli  Fixed Income
    L.L.C. are included in the Company's Total Assets Under  Management.  If the
    assets  managed by Gabelli  Fixed Income  L.L.C.  had been  included for all
    periods  presented,  assets  under  management  would  have been  $11,082 at
    December  31,  1996,  respectively,  and the CAGR  for  Total  Assets  Under
    Management would have been 19.4%.

- ----------

(a)  Invested  primarily in  publicly-traded  real estate  investment trusts and
     sub-advised by Westwood Management Corporation.

(b)  Invested  primarily in  publicly-traded  equities of U.S. and international
     gold companies.

    The Company's  long-term  strategic  goal is to continue to expand its asset
management capabilities in order to provide a range of products suitable to meet
the diverse requirements of its clients.

    The Company  believes that its growth to date can be largely credited to the
following:

o    Long-Term Fund Performance: The Company has a long-term record of achieving
     relatively  high returns for its Mutual Fund and Separate  Account  clients
     when compared to similar investment products. The Company believes that its
     performance record is a competitive advantage and a recognized component of
     its franchise.

o    Widely  Recognized  "Gabelli"  Brand  Name:  For much of its  history,  the
     Company has  advertised  in a variety of financial  print media,  including
     publications such as The Wall Street Journal, Money Magazine,  Barron's and
     Investor's  Business  Daily.  The  Company  also  underwrites  publications
     written by its  investment  professionals,  including  "Deals...Deals...and
     More Deals" which examines the practice of merger arbitrage and the soon to
     be  released  "Win,  Win  Investing  - Your  Guide  to  Global  Convertible
     Securities."  The Company  believes that the breadth and consistency of its
     advertising has enhanced investor awareness of its product offerings and of
     the "Gabelli" brand name.

o    Diversified  Product  Offerings:  Since  the  inception  of its  investment
     management activities,  the Company has sought to expand the breadth of its
     product  offerings.  The  Company  currently  offers  a  wide  spectrum  of
     investment  products and strategies,  including  product  offerings in U.S.
     equities, U.S. fixed income, global and international equities, convertible
     securities, U.S. balanced and alternative products.

                                       5


o    Strong  Industry  Fundamentals:  According  to data  compiled  by the  U.S.
     Federal Reserve,  the investment  management industry has grown faster than
     more traditional segments of the financial services industry, including the
     banking and insurance  industries.  The Company  believes that  demographic
     trends and the growing role of money  managers in the  placement of capital
     compared  to the  traditional  role  played  by banks  and  life  insurance
     companies  will result in  continued  growth of the  investment  management
     industry.


Business Strategy

    The Company  plans to grow its  franchise  by  continuing  to  leverage  its
competitive  asset  management  strengths,  including its long-term  performance
record, brand name, diverse product offerings and experienced  research,  client
service and investment  staff.  In order to achieve  continued  growth in assets
under  management  and  profitability,  the Company will  continue to pursue its
business strategy, the key elements of which include:

o    Broadening and  Strengthening  the Gabelli Brand. The Company believes that
     the Gabelli brand name is one of the more widely  recognized brand names in
     the U.S. investment management industry. The Company intends to continue to
     strengthen  its brand name identity by, among other things,  increasing its
     marketing and  advertising to provide a uniform  global image.  The Company
     expanded its  geographic  presence in January 2000,  with the addition of a
     London office to coordinate marketing and research efforts for our European
     and Global private fund and mutual fund products. The Company believes that
     with its brand name recognition, it has the capacity to create new products
     and services  around the Gabelli brand to complement  its existing  product
     offerings.  New product  offerings since the Firm's Public Offering include
     two open end mutual funds, the Gabelli Blue Chip Value Fund and the Gabelli
     Utilities Fund; one closed end fund, The Gabelli Utility Trust; two private
     limited  partnerships,  Gabelli Global Partners,  L.P. and Gabelli European
     Partners,  L.P. and two offshore funds,  Gabelli Global Partners,  Ltd. and
     Gabelli European Partners Ltd.

o    Expanding  Mutual  Fund  Distribution.  The  Company  intends  to  continue
     expanding  its  distribution   network  through  Third-Party   Distribution
     Programs,  particularly  NTF  Programs.  In recent  years,  the Company has
     realized  significant  growth in its mutual  fund assets  under  management
     through  alliances with "mutual fund  supermarkets"  and other  Third-Party
     Distribution Programs, through which its Mutual Funds are made available to
     investors.  As of December 31, 2000,  the Company was  participating  in 80
     Third-Party  Distribution  Programs,   including  the  Charles  Schwab  and
     Fidelity Investments "mutual fund supermarket"  programs. In addition,  the
     Company intends to develop a marketing strategy to increase its presence in
     the 401(k)  market for its Mutual  Funds.  Additionally,  the  Company  now
     offers  investors  the  ability to purchase  mutual  fund  shares  directly
     through the  Internet or by  telephone.  The Company has also  entered into
     various  marketing  alliances and  distribution  arrangements  with leading
     national  brokerage  and  investment  houses and has  developed  additional
     classes of shares for several of its mutual funds for sale through national
     brokerage and investment houses and other third-party distribution channels
     on a commission basis.

o    Increasing  Penetration  in High Net Worth Market.  The Company's  high net
     worth business focuses, in general, on serving clients who have established
     an account  relationship of $1 million or more with the Company.  According
     to  certain  industry  estimates,  the  number of  households  with over $1
     million in investable  assets will grow from  approximately  2.5 million in
     1996 to over 15  million by 2010.  With the  Company's  24-year  history of
     serving  this  segment,  its  long-term  performance  record and brand name
     recognition,  the Company believes that it is well positioned to capitalize
     on the growth opportunities in this market.

                                       6


o    Increasing Marketing for Institutional Separate Accounts. The institutional
     Separate  Accounts  business has been  primarily  developed  through direct
     marketing  channels.  Historically,  third-party  pension  consultants  and
     financial  consultants  have not been a major  source of new  institutional
     Separate Accounts business for the Company. However, these consultants have
     significantly increased their presence among institutional  investors. As a
     result,  the Company  intends  both to add  marketing  personnel  to target
     pension and  financial  consultants  and to expand its efforts  through its
     traditional marketing channels.

|X|  Attracting  and  Retaining  Experienced   Professionals.   As  the  Company
     continues   to   increase   the  breadth  of  its   investment   management
     capabilities,  it plans to add  portfolio  managers  and  other  investment
     personnel  in order to foster  expansion  of its  products.  The ability to
     attract and retain highly  experienced  investment and other  professionals
     with a long-term  commitment  to the Company and its clients has been,  and
     will continue to be, a  significant  factor in its  long-term  growth.  The
     availability of publicly traded Class A Common Stock enhances the Company's
     ability to attract  and retain  top  performing  investment  professionals.
     Since its Offering, two highly regarded investment  professionals,  Barbara
     Marcin and Timothy  O'Brien  have joined the  Company.  Ms.  Marcin and Mr.
     O'Brien  currently  manage the Gabelli Blue Chip Value Fund and the Gabelli
     Utilities  Fund,  respectively,  as well as certain  private  accounts.  In
     addition,  joining  through the acquisition of the Mathers Fund and heading
     up the newly formed  Non-Market-Correlated group is portfolio manager Henry
     Van der Eb. With the addition of the Comstock Partners Funds we were joined
     by portfolio managers Charles Minter and Martin Weiner.

o    Capitalizing on Acquisitions and Strategic  Alliances.  The Company intends
     to selectively and opportunistically pursue acquisitions and alliances that
     will broaden its product offerings and add new sources of distribution.  On
     October  1, 1999 the  Company  completed  its  alliance  with  Mathers  and
     Company,  Inc.  and now acts as  investment  advisor  to the  Mathers  Fund
     (renamed  Gabelli  Mathers  Fund).  The Gabelli  Mathers Fund has over $100
     million in assets under management and approximately 5,000 shareholders. In
     May 2000 the Company added Comstock Partners Funds,  Inc., renamed Comstock
     Funds, Inc., along with Gabelli Mathers to the Non-Market Correlated mutual
     fund product line. The Comstock Funds are comprised of the Comstock Capital
     Value Fund,  a specialty  diversified  equity fund,  and Comstock  Strategy
     Fund, a flexible income fund. These funds are currently  positioned to take
     advantage  of a  sustained  stock  market  decline.  At  the  time  of  its
     acquisition,  the  Comstock  Funds added over $82  million in assets  under
     management and 20,000 new investors to the Gabelli mutual fund family.  The
     Company  believes  that it is well  positioned to pursue  acquisitions  and
     alliances  because it is one of relatively few publicly  traded  investment
     management firms.

Mutual Funds

    The Mutual Funds  include 28 open-end  mutual  funds and 4 closed-end  funds
which had total  assets as of December 31, 2000 of $12.1  billion.  The open-end
Mutual  Funds are  available  to  individuals  and  institutions  primarily on a
no-load basis,  while the closed-end funds are listed and traded on the New York
Stock  Exchange  ("NYSE").  At December 31, 2000,  the open-end  funds had total
assets of $10.4  billion  and the  closed-end  funds  had  total  assets of $1.7
billion. The assets managed in the closed-end funds represent  approximately 14%
of the assets in the Mutual Funds and 7% of the total assets under management of
the Company at December 31, 2000. The Company's assets under management  consist
of a broad range of U.S. and  international  stock, bond and money market mutual
funds that meet the varied needs and objectives of its Mutual Fund shareholders.
At December 31, 2000, approximately 44% of the Company's assets under management
in open-end,  no-load equity Mutual Funds had been obtained through direct sales
relationships.

    The Company,  through its  affiliates,  acts as adviser to all of the Mutual
Funds,  except  with  respect to the  Gabelli  Capital  Asset Fund for which the
Company acts as a subadviser and Guardian  Investment Services  Corporation,  an
unaffiliated  company,  acts  as  manager.  As  subadviser,  the  Company  makes
day-to-day investment decisions for the Gabelli Capital Asset Fund.

    Gabelli Funds,  L.L.C.  ("Funds Adviser"),  a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company,  acts as the investment  adviser for all of the Mutual Funds other than
the Gabelli Westwood family of funds and the Treasurer's Funds.

                                       7


    Gabelli  Advisers,  Inc. acts as investment  adviser to the Gabelli Westwood
family of funds and has retained  Westwood  Management to act as subadviser  for
five of the six portfolios.  Westwood Management is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Southwest  Securities Group, Inc., a publicly held securities brokerage firm. In
its capacity as subadviser,  Westwood  Management  makes  day-to-day  investment
decisions  and provides the  portfolio  management  services for five of the six
current Gabelli Westwood  portfolios.  The Gabelli Westwood Mighty MitesSM Fund,
launched in May 1998, is advised solely by Gabelli Advisers,  Inc., using a team
investment approach,  without any subadvisers.  Westwood Management owns 100% of
the Class A common  stock of Gabelli  Advisers,  Inc.  (representing  20% of the
economic interest), and is not an affiliate of the Company. The Company believes
that  Gabelli  Advisers,  Inc.  will serve as a platform  for future  growth and
diversification of the Company's product line.

    Gabelli   Fixed   Income   L.L.C.    currently   manages    short-term   and
short-intermediate  term fixed income  securities for the  Treasurer's  Funds as
well as for the Separate  Accounts.  The Company  plans to further  increase and
diversify  the number of fixed income  products  offered by Gabelli Fixed Income
L.L.C..  Certain members of senior management of Gabelli Fixed Income L.L.C. own
a 19.9% equity interest in Gabelli Fixed Income L.L.C.

     are subject to a 1% back-end  contingent  deferred  sales charge.  Comstock
     Strategy Fund Class R shares,  which are no-load,  are  available  only for
     retirement and certain institutional accounts.

(5)  The Gabelli  Utility  Trust was formed in 1999 through a spin off of assets

     Shareholders  of the no-load  open-end Mutual Funds are allowed to exchange
shares among the open-end  funds as economic and market  conditions and investor
needs change at no additional  cost.  The Company  periodically  introduces  new
mutual funds designed to complement and expand its investment product offerings,
respond to competitive  developments  in the financial  marketplace and meet the
changing needs of clients.

     The Company's  marketing efforts for the Mutual Funds are currently focused
on  increasing  the  distribution  and  sales of its  existing  funds as well as
creating new products for sale through its  distribution  channels.  The Company
believes  that its  marketing  efforts  for the Mutual  Funds will  continue  to
generate  additional  revenues from  investment  advisory  fees. The Company has
traditionally  distributed  most of its open-end Mutual Funds by using a variety
of  direct  response   marketing   techniques,   including   telemarketing   and
advertising,  and as a result the Company maintains direct  relationships with a
high percentage of its no-load open-end Mutual Fund customers. Beginning in late
1995,  the Company  expanded  its product  distribution  by offering  additional
open-end Mutual Funds through Third-Party  Distribution Programs,  including NTF
Programs.  In 1998 and 1999,  the  Company  further  expanded  these  efforts to
include  substantially  all of its open-end  Mutual Funds in eighty  Third-Party
Distribution  Programs.  Although  44% of the  assets  under  management  in the
open-end Mutual Funds are still  attributable  to the Company's  direct response
marketing efforts, Third-Party Distribution Programs, particularly NTF Programs,
have become an increasingly important source of asset growth for the Company. Of
the $8.9 billion of assets under  management in the open-end equity Mutual Funds
as of December 31, 2000,  approximately  31% were  generated  from NTF Programs.
During 2000, the Company completed  development of additional  classes of shares
for  several  of its  mutual  funds  for sale  through  national  brokerage  and
investment  houses and other third-party  distribution  channels on a commission
basis.  The  multi-class  shares were  initially  added to the global  series of
Gabelli  mutual funds and the Gabelli  Westwood  funds.  The use of  multi-class
share  products will expand the  distribution  of all Gabelli Fund products into
the  advised  sector  of  the  mutual  fund   investment   community.   In  2000
approximately  50% of all U.S.  equity  mutual fund  inflows  came  through this
sector.  The  multi-class  shares  include Class A shares with a front end sales
charge;  Class B shares are  subject  to a back end  contingent  deferred  sales
charge and Class C shares are subject to a 1% back-end contingent deferred sales
charge.  The existing class of no-load shares are designated as Class AAA shares
and remains available for new and current  investors.  In general,  distribution
through Third-Party  Distribution Programs have greater variable cost components
and  lower  fixed  cost  components  than  distribution  through  the  Company's
traditional direct sales methods.

    The Company  through its affiliated  broker-dealer  Gabelli & Company,  Inc.
also  offers its  open-end  mutual fund  products  through  our  internet  site,
www.gabelli.com,  where mutual fund investors can access their personal  account
information and buy, sell and exchange Fund shares. Fund prospectuses, quarterly
reports,  fund  applications,  daily net asset values and performance charts are
all available.  Our "Meet the Managers" program provides a regular forum to chat
with our  portfolio  manages on a wide variety of investment  issues.  A feature
unique to Gabelli is the "Online Real Time Chat Support" which provides  clients
with  access to a "live"  client  representative  to assist with  investment  or
account  questions.  As part of our efforts to educate  investors we  introduced
Gabelli University with its initial publication "Deals, Deals... and More Deals"
and  the  soon to be  released  "Win,  Win  Investing  - Your  Guide  to  Global
Convertible Securities." Our website continues to be an active,  informative and
valuable resource which we believe will become an increasingly important feature
of our client service efforts in the ensuing years.

    The Company provides investment advisory and management services pursuant to
an investment  management  agreement  with each Mutual Fund.  While the specific
terms of the investment  management  agreements  vary to some degree,  the basic
terms of the  investment  management  agreements  are  similar.  The  investment
management  agreements with the Mutual Funds generally  provide that the Company
is responsible for the overall investment and administrative  services,  subject
to the  oversight  of each Mutual  Fund's  board of directors or trustees and in
accordance  with  each  Mutual  Fund's  fundamental  investment  objectives  and
policies.  The investment management agreements permit the Company to enter into
separate  agreements for administrative and accounting services on behalf of the
respective Mutual Funds.

                                       14


    The Company provides the Mutual Funds with administrative  services pursuant
to  management  contracts.  Most of these  administrative  services are provided
through  subcontracts  with unaffiliated  third parties.  Such services include,
without  limitation,  calculation  of net asset value,  preparation of financial
reports  for  shareholders  of  the  Mutual  Funds,  internal  accounting,   tax
accounting and  reporting,  regulatory  filings,  and other  services.  Transfer
agency and  custodial  services  are  provided  directly to the Mutual  Funds by
unaffiliated third parties.

    The Company's Mutual Fund investment  management  agreements may continue in
effect from year to year only if specifically  approved at least annually by (i)
the Mutual  Fund's  board of  directors  or trustees  or (ii) the Mutual  Fund's
shareholders  and, in either case,  the vote of a majority of the Mutual  Fund's
directors  or  trustees  who are not  parties to the  agreement  or  "interested
persons" of any such party,  within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of
1940 as amended (the "Investment  Company Act").  Each Mutual Fund may terminate
its investment  management agreement at any time upon 60 days' written notice by
(i) a vote of the majority of the board of directors or trustees  cast in person
at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such termination or (ii) a vote
at a meeting of  shareholders  of the lesser of either 67% of the voting  shares
represented  in person or by proxy or 50% of the  outstanding  voting  shares of
such Mutual Fund. Each investment management agreement automatically  terminates
in the event of its  assignment,  as defined in the Investment  Company Act. The
Company may terminate an investment  management  agreement without penalty on 60
days' written notice.

Separate Accounts

    Since 1977, the Company has provided investment  management services through
its  subsidiary  GAMCO  Investors,   Inc.  ("GAMCO")  to  a  broad  spectrum  of
institutional and high net worth investors. As of December 31, 2000, the Company
had  approximately  1,500 Separate  Accounts with an aggregate of  approximately
$11.0 billion of assets,  which represent  approximately 47% of the total assets
under  management of the Company.  The ten largest  Separate  Accounts  comprise
approximately  15% of the Company's total assets under  management and 6% of the
Company's  total  revenues as of and for the period ended December 31, 2000. The
Separate Accounts are invested in U.S. and international equity securities, U.S.
fixed-income securities and convertible  securities.  At December 31, 2000, high
net worth  accounts  (accounts  of  individuals  and related  parties in general
having a minimum account balance of $1 million)  comprised  approximately 86% of
the number of  Separate  Accounts  and  approximately  30% of the  assets,  with
institutional investors accounting for the balance.

    Each Separate  Account  portfolio is managed to meet the specific  needs and
objectives  of the  particular  client by utilizing  investment  strategies  and
techniques  within the Company's  areas of  expertise.  Members of the sales and
marketing  staff  for  the  Separate   Accounts  business  have  an  average  of
approximately  10 years of  experience  with the Company and focus on developing
and maintaining  long-term  relationships with their Separate Account clients in
order  to be able to  understand  and  meet  their  individual  clients'  needs.
Investment   advisory  agreements  with  the  Separate  Accounts  are  typically
terminable by the client without penalty on 30 days' notice or less.

    The Company's  Separate Accounts business is marketed  primarily through the
direct  efforts of its in-house sales force.  At December 31, 2000,  over 90% of
the Company's assets in Separate Accounts  (excluding  subadvisory  assets) were
obtained  through direct sales  relationships.  Sales efforts are conducted on a
regional and product specialist basis.  Clients are generally serviced by a team
of individuals,  the core of which remain assigned to a specific client from the
onset of the client  relationship.  The Company's sales force  maintains  direct
relationships  with corporate  pension and profit  sharing  plans,  foundations,
endowment  funds,  jointly  trusteed  plans,  municipalities  and high net worth
individuals that comprise the Company's Separate Accounts business.

Partnerships

    The Company offers alternative  investment products  principally through its
majority-owned  subsidiary,  GSI. These alternative investments products consist
primarily  of global  equities,  risk  arbitrage  and merchant  banking  limited
partnerships and offshore companies. The Partnerships had $437 million of assets
at December 31, 2000.  Gabelli  Associates Fund had $179 million of assets under
management   as  of  December   31,   2000  and  invests  in  merger   arbitrage
opportunities.   Merchant  banking  activities  are  carried  out  through  ALCE
Partners, L.P. ("Alce"), and Gabelli Multimedia Partners,  L.P.  ("Multimedia"),
both of  which  are  closed  to new  investors.  Aggregate  assets  for Alce and
Multimedia  as of  December  31,  2000 were  approximately  $12  million  and $6
million, respectively.  Gabelli Associates Limited, which had approximately $155
million of assets as of December 31,  2000,  is an offshore  investment  company
designed  for  non-U.S.  investors  seeking  to  participate  in risk  arbitrage
opportunities  utilizing the same  investment  objectives  and strategies as the
Gabelli  Associates Fund.  Gabelli Global Partners,  a global equity  long/short
fund  introduced  in 1999 and  Gabelli  European  Partners,  a  European  equity
long/short fund  introduced in 2000, had assets under  management of $79 million
and $3 million, respectively, at December 31, 2000. The Company also manages New
Century Capital Partners with assets as of December 31, 2001 of $2.2 million and
the Gabelli  International Gold Fund Limited,  which as of December 31, 2000 had
less than $1 million of assets. The Company's  alternative  investment  products
are marketed  primarily  through its direct sales force.  The Company intends to
expand product offerings,  both domestic and  international,  and the geographic
composition  of its  customer  base in the  Partnerships  and other  alternative
investment  products and expects that the assets invested in these products will
provide a growing source of revenues in the future.

Brokerage and Mutual Fund Distribution

     The Company offers underwriting, execution and trading services through its
majority  owned  subsidiary,   Gabelli  &  Company.   Gabelli  &  Company  is  a
broker-dealer  registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a member
of  the  NASD.   Gabelli  &  Company's   revenues  are  derived  primarily  from
distribution  of the Mutual Funds,  brokerage  commissions  on  transactions  in
equity  securities for the Mutual Funds,  Separate Accounts and other customers,
and from underwriting fees selling concessions and market-making activities.


     The Company  distributes the open-end Mutual Funds pursuant to distribution
agreements with each open-end  Mutual Fund.  Under each  distribution  agreement
with an open-end  Mutual Fund, the Company offers and sells such open-end Mutual
Fund's  shares on a continuous  basis and pays all of the costs of marketing and
selling the  shares,  including  printing  and  mailing  prospectuses  and sales
literature, advertising and maintaining sales and customer service personnel and
sales  and  services  fulfillment  systems,  and  payments  to the  sponsors  of
Third-Party Distribution Programs,  financial intermediaries and sales personnel
of the  Company.  The  Company  receives  fees for  such  services  pursuant  to
distribution  plans  adopted  under  provisions  of Rule 12b-1  ("12b-1") of the
Investment  Company  Act.  Distribution  fees  from the  open-end  Mutual  Funds
amounted to $11.9  million,  $16.2 million and $22.9 million for the years ended
December  31,  1998 1999 and 2000  respectively.  The  Company is the  principal
underwriter for several funds distributed with a sales charge,  including shares
of The Gabelli  Value Fund,  The Comstock  Funds and the  multi-class  series of
shares which were added to the global and international series of Gabelli mutual
funds, the Gabelli Westwood Funds and The Gabelli Value Fund.

     Under the  distribution  plans,  the  open-end  no load  (Class AAA shares)
Mutual Funds (except the  Treasurer's  Funds,  the Gabelli U.S.  Treasury  Money
Market  Fund and the  Gabelli  Capital  Asset  Fund)  and the  Class A shares of
various  funds pay the Company a  distribution  fee of .25% per year (except the
Class A shares of the  Gabelli  Westwood  Funds  which pay .50% per year) on the
average  daily net assets of the fund.  Class B and Class C shares,  launched in
March 2000 as part of the  multi-class  option for certain mutual funds,  have a
12b-1  distribution  plan with a service and  distribution  fee totaling 1%. The
Company's  distribution  agreements with the Mutual Funds may continue in effect
from year to year only if  specifically  approved  at least  annually by (i) the


                                       16


Mutual  Fund's  board  of  directors  or  trustees  or (ii)  the  Mutual  Fund's
shareholders  and, in either case,  the vote of a majority of the Mutual  Fund's
directors  or  trustees  who are not  parties to the  agreement  or  "interested
persons" of any such party,  within the meaning of the  Investment  Company Act.
Each Mutual Fund may  terminate  its  distribution  agreement,  or any agreement
thereunder,  at any  time  upon 60  days'  written  notice  by (i) a vote of the
majority of its directors or trustees cast in person at a meeting called for the
purpose  of  voting  on  such  termination  or  (ii)  a  vote  at a  meeting  of
shareholders  of the lesser of either 67% of the voting  shares  represented  in
person or by proxy or 50% of the outstanding  voting shares of such Mutual Fund.
Each  distribution  agreement  automatically  terminates  in  the  event  of its
assignment,  as defined in the Investment Company Act. The Company may terminate
a distribution agreement without penalty upon 60 days' written notice.

Underwriting Activities

     Gabelli  &  Company  is  involved  in  external   syndicated   underwriting
activities.  In 1998, 1999 and 2000 Gabelli & Company participated in 32, 35 and
16 syndicated underwritings of public equity and debt offerings managed by major
investment  banks with  commitments  of $104  million,  $64.2  million and $42.4
million, respectively.

Competition

    The  Company  competes  with  mutual  fund  companies  and other  investment
management  firms,  insurance  companies,   banks,  brokerage  firms  and  other
financial  institutions  that offer  products  that have  similar  features  and
investment  objectives to those offered by the Company.  Many of the  investment
management  firms with which the  Company  competes  are  subsidiaries  of large
diversified  financial  companies  and many  others are much  larger in terms of
assets under  management and revenues and,  accordingly,  have much larger sales
organizations  and  marketing  budgets.  Historically,  the Company has competed
primarily on the basis of the long-term  investment  performance  of many of its
funds.  However, the Company has taken steps over the past two years to increase
its distribution channels, brand name awareness and marketing efforts.  Although
there can be no assurance  that the Company will be successful in these efforts,
its net  sales of  Mutual  Funds  have  increased  over  the  past  year and the
Company's  strategy is to continue to devote  additional  resources to its sales
and marketing efforts.

    The market for providing investment management services to institutional and
high net worth Separate Accounts is also highly  competitive.  Approximately 34%
of the Company's investment  management fee revenues for the year ended December
31, 2000 were  derived  from its  Separate  Accounts.  Selection  of  investment
advisers by U.S. institutional investors is often subject to a screening process
and to favorable  recommendation  by investment  industry  consultants.  Many of
these  investors  require  their  investment  advisers to have a successful  and
sustained  performance record, often five years or longer, and also focus on one
and three year performance records. The Company has significantly  increased its
assets under  management  on behalf of U.S.  institutional  investors  since its
entry into the institutional  asset management  business in 1977. At the current
time,  the Company  believes  that its  investment  performance  record would be
attractive  to potential  new  institutional  and high net worth clients and the
Company has determined to devote  additional  resources to the institutional and
high net worth  investor  markets.  However,  no assurance can be given that the
Company's efforts to obtain new business will be successful.

                                       17


Intellectual Property

    Service  marks and brand name  recognition  are  important to the  Company's
business.  The Company has rights to the service  marks under which its products
are offered.  The Company has  registered  certain  service  marks in the United
States  and will  continue  to do so as new  trademarks  and  service  marks are
developed or  acquired.  The Company has rights to use (i) the  "Gabelli"  name,
(ii) the "GAMCO" name,  (iii) the research  triangle logo, (iv) the "Interactive
Couch Potato" name, and (v) the "Mighty  Mites" name.  Pursuant to an assignment
agreement,  Mr. Gabelli has assigned to the Company all of his rights, title and
interests in and to the  "Gabelli"  name for use in connection  with  investment
management services,  mutual funds and securities  brokerage services.  However,
under the  agreement,  Mr.  Gabelli  will  retain any and all  right,  title and
interest he has or may have in the "Gabelli" name for use in connection with (i)
charitable  foundations  controlled  by Mr.  Gabelli or members of his family or
(ii)  entities  engaged  in private  investment  activities  for Mr.  Gabelli or
members of his family. In addition, the funds managed by Mr. Gabelli outside the
Company have entered into a license  agreement with the Company  permitting them
to continue limited use of the "Gabelli" name under specified circumstances. The
Company has taken, and will continue to take, action to protect its interests in
these service marks.

Regulation

    Virtually  all aspects of the  Company's  businesses  are subject to various
Federal and state laws and regulations. These laws and regulations are primarily
intended to protect  investment  advisory clients and shareholders of registered
investment  companies.  Under such laws and regulations,  agencies that regulate
investment   advisers  and  broker-dealers   such  as  the  Company  have  broad
administrative  powers,  including the power to limit, restrict or prohibit such
an adviser or  broker-dealer  from carrying on its business in the event that it
fails to comply  with such laws and  regulations.  In such event,  the  possible
sanctions that may be imposed  include the  suspension of individual  employees,
limitations  on engaging in certain lines of business for  specified  periods of
time,  revocation of investment adviser and other registrations,  censures,  and
fines.  The  Company  believes  that it is in  substantial  compliance  with all
material laws and regulations.

    The business of the Company is subject to regulation at both the federal and
state level by the Securities and Exchange  Commission  ("Commission") and other
regulatory  bodies.   Subsidiaries  of  the  Company  are  registered  with  the
Commission  under  the  Investment  Advisers  Act,  and  the  Mutual  Funds  are
registered  with  the  Commission  under  the  Investment   Company  Act.  Three
subsidiaries  of the  Company are also  registered  as  broker-dealers  with the
Commission and are subject to regulation by the NASD and various states.

    The  subsidiaries  of the Company that are  registered  with the  Commission
under the  Investment  Advisers  Act (Funds  Adviser,  Gabelli  Advisers,  Inc.,
Gabelli  Fixed  Income  L.L.C.  and  GAMCO)  are  regulated  by and  subject  to
examination  by the  Commission.  The Investment  Advisers Act imposes  numerous
obligations on registered investment advisers including fiduciary duties, record
keeping  requirements,  operational  requirements,  marketing  requirements  and
disclosure  obligations.  The Commission is authorized to institute  proceedings
and impose sanctions for violations of the Investment Advisers Act, ranging from
censure to termination of an investment adviser's registration. The failure of a
subsidiary  of the Company to comply  with the  requirements  of the  Commission
could have a material adverse effect on the Company.  The Company believes it is
in substantial  compliance with the  requirements  of the regulations  under the
Investment Advisers Act.

    The Company  derives a substantial  majority of its revenues from investment
advisory  services  through  its  investment  management  agreements.  Under the
Investment  Advisers  Act,  the  Company's  investment   management   agreements
terminate  automatically  if assigned  without the client's  consent.  Under the
Investment Company Act, advisory agreements with registered investment companies
such as the Mutual  Funds  terminate  automatically  upon  assignment.  The term
"assignment"  is broadly  defined and  includes  direct  assignments  as well as
assignments that may be deemed to occur, under certain  circumstances,  upon the
transfer, directly or indirectly, of a controlling interest in the Company.

                                       18


     In their  capacity  as  broker-dealers,  Gabelli & Company,  Gabelli  Fixed
Income  Distributors,  Inc. and Lynch  Capital are required to maintain  certain
minimum net capital and cash reserves for the benefit of its customers.  Gabelli
& Company and Gabelli Fixed Income  Distributors,  Inc. net capital, as defined,
has consistently met or exceeded all minimum  requirements.  Lynch Capital which
was acquired on December 22, 2000 has  consistently  met or exceeded all minimum
requirements.  Under the rules and  regulations  of the  Commission  promulgated
pursuant  to the  federal  securities  laws,  the Company is subject to periodic
examination  by the Commission  and the NASD.  Gabelli & Company,  Gabelli Fixed
Income  Distributors,  Inc.  and Lynch  Capital  are also  subject  to  periodic
examination by the NASD.

    Subsidiaries  of the Company are subject to the Employee  Retirement  Income
Security  Act of 1974,  as amended  ("ERISA"),  and to  regulations  promulgated
thereunder,  insofar  as they are  "fiduciaries"  under  ERISA  with  respect to
certain  of their  clients.  ERISA and  applicable  provisions  of the  Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"),  impose certain duties on persons
who are  fiduciaries  under ERISA and prohibit  certain  transactions  involving
ERISA plan clients. The failure of the Company to comply with these requirements
could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

    Investments  by the  Company  on behalf of its  clients  often  represent  a
significant  equity  ownership  position  in an issuer's  class of stock.  As of
December 31, 2000,  the Company had five  percent or more  beneficial  ownership
with respect to 118 equity securities.  This activity raises frequent regulatory
and legal issues regarding the Company's  aggregate  beneficial  ownership level
with  respect to portfolio  securities,  including  issues  relating to issuers'
shareholder  rights plans or "poison pills," state gaming laws and  regulations,
federal communications laws and regulations, public utility holding company laws
and regulations,  federal proxy rules governing  shareholder  communications and
federal laws and  regulations  regarding the  reporting of beneficial  ownership
positions.  The failure of the Company to comply with these  requirements  could
have a material adverse effect on the Company.

lease  provides  that all operating  expenses  related to the property are to be
paid by the Company. The Company has begun relocating certain departments of the
Company to these  premises  and expects to  completely  relocate  its  principal
executive office to these premises in the year 2001.

    The foregoing  unaudited pro forma income statement data gives effect to (i)
the  Reorganization,  including  the gain from  investments,  the  reduction  in

interest expense as if the Employment  Agreement (see Note J to the Consolidated
Financial  Statements)  had been in effect for the full year ended  December 31,
1999 and (ii) the additional  income taxes which would have been recorded if GFI
had been a "C" corporation  instead of an "S"  corporation  based on tax laws in

received from the Offering for the period prior to the Offering.

    The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and
certain assumptions that management of the Company believes are reasonable under
the  circumstances.  The pro forma  financial data does not purport to represent

(a)  Effective April 14, 1997, Gabelli Fixed Income L.L.C. was restructured such
     that the Company's ownership  increased from 50% to 80.1%,  thereby causing
     Gabelli  Fixed Income  L.L.C.  to become a  consolidated  subsidiary of the
     Company.  Accordingly, for periods after April 14, 1997, the assets managed
     by Gabelli Fixed Income L.L.C.  are included in the Company's  assets under
     management.  If the assets managed by Gabelli Fixed Income L.L.C.  had been
     included for all periods presented,  total assets under management for 1995
     and 1996 would have been approximately $10,793 and $11,082, respectively.
(b)  Excluding  the non  recurring  charge  related to the note  payable  ($30.9
     million,  net of tax  benefit  of $19.8  million,  or $1.03 per  share) net
     income and net income per share for the year ended  December  31, 1999 were
     $45.7 million and $1.53, respectively.

Item 7:  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations

    The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements and the notes thereto included in Item 8 to this report.

Basis of Presentation

     Gabelli Asset Management Inc. (the "Company"),  incorporated in April 1998,
had no significant  assets or liabilities  and did not engage in any substantial
business activities prior to the public offering  ("Offering") of its shares. On
February 9, 1999, the Company  exchanged 24 million shares of its Class B Common
Stock,  representing  all of its then issued and  outstanding  common stock,  to
Gabelli Funds,  Inc. ("GFI") and two of its  subsidiaries in  consideration  for
substantially  all of the operating assets and liabilities of GFI related to its
institutional  and retail asset management,  mutual fund advisory,  underwriting
and brokerage  business (the  "Reorganization").  GFI was  subsequently  renamed
Gabelli Group Capital Partners, Inc. ("GGCP").

     Immediately following the Reorganization, the Company sold 6 million shares
of its Class A Common Stock in an initial public offering.  On February 17, 1999
the Offering was completed and the Company  received  proceeds,  net of fees and
expenses, of approximately $96 million. Following the Offering, GFI owned 80% of
the outstanding common stock of the Company. For periods after the Offering, the
Company's financial  statements will reflect the financial condition and results
of operations of Gabelli Asset Management Inc. and the historical results of GFI
will be shown as predecessor financial statements.

Overview

    The  Company's  revenues  are  largely  based on the level of  assets  under
management in its  businesses as well as the level of fees  associated  with its
various  investment  products.  Growth in  revenues  generally  depends  on good
investment  performance,  which increases  assets under management by increasing
the value of existing assets under management, contributing to higher investment
and lower redemption  rates and  facilitating the ability to attract  additional
investors  while  maintaining  current  fee  levels.   Growth  in  assets  under
management  is also  dependent  on being  able to  access  various  distribution
channels,  which is usually based on several factors,  including performance and
service.  Historically, the Company depended primarily on direct distribution of
its products  and  services,  but since 1995 has  increasingly  participated  in
Third-Party Distribution Programs,  particularly NTF Programs. A majority of the
Company's  cash inflows to mutual fund products have come through these channels
since 1998.  Fluctuations in financial markets also have a substantial effect on
assets  under  management  and results of  operations,  although  the  Company's
extensive use of variable compensation programs tends to moderate the effects of
fluctuations in revenues. The Company's largest source of revenues is investment
advisory  fees which are based on the amount of assets under  management  in its
Mutual  Funds and  Separate  Accounts.  Advisory  fees from the Mutual Funds are
computed  daily or weekly,  while  advisory fees from the Separate  Accounts are
generally  computed  quarterly  based  on  account  values  as of the end of the
preceding  quarter.  These  revenues  vary  depending  upon  the  level of sales
compared with redemptions, financial market conditions and the fee structure for
assets under  management.  Revenues derived from the equity oriented  portfolios
generally have higher management fee rates than fixed income portfolios.

    Commission revenues consist of brokerage commissions derived from securities
transactions   executed  on  an  agency   basis  on  behalf  of  mutual   funds,
institutional and high net worth clients as well as investment  banking revenue,
which consists of underwriting profits,  selling concessions and management fees
associated with underwriting activities.

                                       24



    Distribution  fees and other  income  primarily  include  distribution  fees
payable in accordance with Rule 12b-1 ("12b-1") of the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended (the  "Investment  Company Act"),  along with sales charges and
underwriting  fees  associated  with the sale of the  Mutual  Funds  plus  other
revenues.  Distribution  fees  fluctuate  based  on the  level of  assets  under
management  and the amount and type of Mutual Funds sold directly by the Company
and through various distribution  channels.  During 1997, the 12b-1 plans for 15
of the open-end Mutual Funds were restructured as compensation plans with annual
fees set at 25 basis  points of average  assets  under  management.  Previously,
these plans reimbursed the Company for actual distribution expenses incurred, up
to 25 basis points of average assets under management.

    Compensation  costs  include  variable  and fixed  compensation  and related
expenses paid to the officers,  portfolio managers, sales, trading, research and
all other staff members of the Company.

    Other operating  expenses include product  distribution and promotion costs,
clearing  charges  and fees for the  Company's  brokerage  operation,  rental of
office space and  electronic  data  equipment  and services,  insurance,  client
servicing and other general and administrative operating costs.

    Interest  and  dividend  income,  interest  expense and net gain (loss) from
investments  (which includes both realized and unrealized gains) is derived from
proprietary  investments of the Company's  capital in various public and private
investments.  Prior to the date of the  Reorganization,  net  gain  (loss)  from
investments was derived  primarily from the assets that were  distributed to GFI
and also included the results of GFI's hedging activities. As part of an overall
hedge of the risks associated with GFI's proprietary  investment portfolio,  GFI
entered into  transactions in domestic equity index  contracts.  These financial
instruments  represented  future  commitments  to sell an  underlying  index for
specified  amounts at specified  future dates.  In connection with the Formation
Transactions,  the  Company  distributed  most  of  the  proprietary  investment
portfolio (which included the hedging activities) to GFI.

    As a result of the Offering, the Company became taxable as a "C" corporation
for Federal and state  income tax  purposes  and will pay taxes at an  effective
rate considerably  higher than when Gabelli Asset Management Inc. and certain of
its subsidiaries were treated as Subchapter "S" corporations.

    Minority  interest  represents the share of net income  attributable  to the
minority stockholders, as reported on a separate company basis, of the Company's
consolidated majority-owned subsidiaries.

Operating  Results for the Year Ended  December 31, 2000 as Compared to the Year
Ended December 31, 1999

    Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2000 were $233.9 million,  an
increase of $57.7 million, or 33%, compared to $176.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 1999.  Investment  advisory and incentive  fees,  comprising 81% of
total  revenues,  increased  $42.8 million,  or 29%, to $190.2  million,  as the
Company  experienced  strong  growth  in  the  level  of  average  assets  under
management  in each of its  Mutual  Funds,  Separate  Accounts  and  Alternative
Investments  businesses.  Average  total assets under  management,  which is the
basis for investment advisory and incentive fees, were $23.1 billion in 2000, an
increase of $4.6 billion, or 25%, compared to average assets under management of
$18.5 billion in 1999.  Total assets under  management at December 31, 2000 were
$23.6 billion, an increase of $1.6 billion or 7% from assets under management of
$21.9 billion at December 31, 1999. Assets under management in Mutual Funds were
$12.1 billion at December 31, 2000, an increase of  approximately  $0.5 billion,
or 4%, from  December 31, 1999.  This  increase  represents  approximately  $1.7
billion in net cash inflows and $0.1 billion in assets acquired,  offset by $1.3
billion in  market-related  depreciation.  Assets under  management  in Separate
Accounts were $11.0 billion at December 31, 2000, an increase of $0.9 billion or
9%  from  $10.1  billion  at  December  31,  1999.   This  increase   represents
approximately  $1.0  billion  in net cash  inflows  offset  by $0.1  billion  in
market-related depreciation.

                                       25


    Commission revenues in 2000 were $16.8 million, an increase of $4.9 million,
or 42%, from commission revenues of $11.9 million in 1999. The increase resulted
from  increased  agency  trading  activity  for accounts  managed by  affiliated
companies. Commission revenues derived from transactions on behalf of the Mutual
Funds and Separate Accounts clients totaled $14.5 million,  or approximately 87%
of total commission revenues in 2000.

     Distribution fees and other income increased more than 58% to $26.9 million
in 2000 from $17.0 million in 1999. Increased 12b-1 fees, resulting from the 41%
growth in assets under  management in our open end equity mutual funds, to $22.9
million, and a $3.1 million investment banking fee were the principal components
for this increase.

    Total expenses were $145.0 million in 2000, an increase of $34.1 million, or
31%, from $110.9 million,  excluding a $50.7 million  non-recurring  charge,  in
1999.  Operating  income as a percentage  of total  revenues rose to 38% in 2000
from 37% in 1999.  Compensation  costs, which are largely variable in nature and
increase or decrease as revenues grow or decline,  increased approximately $25.2
million, or 35%, to $97.1 million in 2000 from $71.9 million in 1999. Management
fee expense,  which is totally  variable  and  increases or decreases as pre-tax
profits grow or decline, was $11.3 million in 2000, an increase of $1.1 million,
or 11%, from $10.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. Other operating
expenses,  which include marketing,  promotion and distribution costs as well as
general  operating   expenses  were  $36.7  million  in  2000,  an  increase  of
approximately  $7.8 million,  or 27%,  from $28.9  million in 1999.  Mutual fund
administration   and  distribution   expenses  and  brokerage  clearing  charges
accounted for more than $6.4 million, or 82%, of this increase.

    Net gain from investments,  which is derived from the Company's  proprietary
investment portfolio, was approximately $6.7 million for the year ended December
31, 2000 compared to a net gain of $14.3  million for 1999.  Included in the net
gain for 1999 was $2.3 million which was derived from the proprietary  portfolio
distributed to GFI as part of the  Reorganization.  Interest and dividend income
was $9.7 million in 2000 compared to $6.9 million in 1999. Interest expense rose
$0.3 million to $3.7 million in 2000, from $3.4 million in 1999.

    Income taxes increased to $40.3 million,  an effective tax rate of 39.6%, in
2000 from  $10.5  million  and an  effective  tax rate of 32.4%  for 1999.  This
increase is  principally  due to the 1999  conversion of the Company from an "S"
Corporation to a "C"

Corporation for Federal and state income tax purposes.  Income taxes for 1999 is
net of the $19.8 million  deferred tax benefit  resulting from the $50.7 million
non recurring charge.

    Minority  interest  expense  increased  to $3.4  million  in 2000  from $3.3
million in 1999. This increase is reflective of additional  income  attributable
to the minority  interests of the Company's  majority  controlled  subsidiaries,
GSI, Fixed Income and Advisers.

Operating  Results for the Year Ended  December 31, 1999 as Compared to the Year
Ended December 31, 1998

    Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 1999 were $176.3 million,  an
increase of $38.1 million, or 28%, compared to $138.2 million for the year ended
December 31, 1998.  Investment  advisory and incentive  fees,  comprising 84% of
total  revenues,  increased  $31.1 million,  or 27%, to $147.4  million,  as the
Company  experienced  strong  growth  in  the  level  of  average  assets  under
management  in both its Mutual Funds and  Separate  Accounts  businesses.  Total
average assets under management,  which is the basis for investment advisory and
incentive fees, were $18.5 billion in 1999, an increase of $3.7 billion, or 25%,
compared to average  assets under  management  of $14.8  billion in 1998.  Total
assets under management at December 31, 1999 were $21.9 billion,  an increase of
$5.6 billion or 35% from assets under  management  of $16.3  billion at December
31, 1998. Assets under management in Mutual Funds were $11.6 billion at December
31, 1999, an increase of approximately  $3.4 billion,  or 42%, from December 31,
1998. This increase  represents  approximately $1.0 billion in net cash inflows,
$2.3  billion  from  market-related  appreciation,  and $0.1  billion  in assets
acquired.  Assets under  management  in Separate  Accounts were $10.1 billion at
December  31,  1999,  an  increase of $2.1  billion or 26% from $8.0  billion at
December 31, 1998. This increase  represents  approximately  $0.1 billion in net
cash inflows and $2.0 billion from market related appreciation.

    Commission revenues in 1999 were $11.9 million, an increase of $3.2 million,
or 37%, from commission  revenues of $8.7 million in 1998. The increase resulted
from  increased  agency  trading  activity  for accounts  managed by  affiliated
companies. Commission revenues derived from transactions on behalf of the Mutual
Funds and Separate  Accounts clients totaled $9.4 million,  or approximately 80%
of total commission revenues in 1999.

                                       26


    Distribution  fees and other income increased more than 29% to $17.0 million
in 1999 from $13.2 million in 1998.  Increased  12b-1 fees,  resulting  from the
growth in assets under  management in our open end equity mutual funds,  of $4.2
million were partially  offset by lower  revenues from syndicate  activities and
other income.

    Total expenses,  excluding a $50.7 million non-recurring charge, were $110.9
million in 1999,  an increase of $17.8  million,  or 19%,  from $93.2 million in
1998.  Operating  income as a percentage  of total  revenues,  excluding the non
recurring  charge,  rose to 37% in  1999  from  33% in the  prior  year  largely
resulting  from the  reduction in the  management  fee rate and the benefit from
spreading  fixed  costs  over a larger  revenue  base.  Compensation  costs rose
approximately $15.8 million, or 28%, to $71.9 million in 1999 from $56.0 million
in 1998.  Management  fee expense was $10.2  million in 1999,  a decline of $2.0
million,  or 17%, from $12.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 as the
result  of the  reduced  management  fee  rate  effective  at the  close  of the
Offering.  Other  operating  expenses were $28.9 million in 1999, an increase of
approximately  $4.0 million,  or 16%,  from $24.9  million in 1998.  Mutual fund
administration  and distribution  expenses accounted for more than $3.1 million,
or 78%, of this increase.

    The  Company  recorded a $50.7  million  non  recurring  charge in the first
quarter of 1999  resulting  from a note payable to the Company's  Chairman under
the  terms  of  an  Employment   Agreement  executed  in  conjunction  with  the
Reorganization.

    Net gain from investments,  which is derived from the Company's  proprietary
investment  portfolio,  was  approximately  $14.3  million  for the  year  ended
December  31,  1999  compared  to a net gain of $16.5  million  for 1998,  which
included  a net gain of  approximately  $17.6  million  from the sale of certain
Personal Communications Services ("PCS") licenses.  Interest and dividend income
was $6.9 million in 1999 compared to $5.1 million in 1998.  In  connection  with
the Reorganization,  GFI retained most of the proprietary  investment  portfolio
(which  included the  remaining PCS licenses and hedging  activities).  Interest
expense  rose $1.2  million to $3.4  million in 1999,  from $2.2 million in 1998
principally  from  the  increase  in  notes  payable  resulting  as  part of the
Reorganization.

    Income taxes increased to $10.5 million for 1999 from $5.5 million for 1998,
principally  due to the  conversion of the Company from an "S"  Corporation to a
"C"  Corporation  for Federal and state  income tax  purposes  and is net of the
$19.8  million  deferred  tax  benefit  resulting  from the  $50.7  million  non
recurring charge.

    Minority  interest  expense  increased  to $3.3  million  in 1999  from $1.7
million in 1998. This increase is reflective of additional  income  attributable
to the minority  interests of the Company's  majority  controlled  subsidiaries,
GSI, Fixed Income and Advisers.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    The Company's  principal  assets  consist of cash,  short-term  investments,
securities held for investment purposes and investments in partnerships in which
the Company is either a general or limited partner.  Short-term  investments are
comprised primarily of United States treasury securities with maturities of less
than  one  year  and  money  market  funds  managed  by  the  Company.  Although
investments  in  investment  partnerships  are for the most part  illiquid,  the
underlying investments of such partnerships are for the most part liquid and the
valuations of the investment partnerships reflect that underlying liquidity.

    Cash and liquidity requirements have historically been met through operating
activities  and the  Company's  borrowing  capacity.  At December 31, 2000,  the
Company  had cash and cash  equivalents  of $69.3  million,  a decrease of $33.8
million from the prior year-end.

    Cash used in operating  activities of $1.9 million in 2000 results primarily
from  $64.7  million  used  for net  purchases  of  equity  securities  and U.S.
government  obligations  which, due to their  maturities,  are not classified as
cash  equivalents,  partially  offset by cash  provided  by net  income of $58.0
million.  Cash used in operating  activities in 1999 of $13.5  million  resulted
principally  from  $63.4  million  in net  purchases  of  securities,  which was
partially offset by net income of $49.4 million before a non cash charge, net of
tax  benefit,  of $30.9  million  related  to a note  payable  to the  Company's
Chairman.

    Cash used in investing  activities of $28.1 million in 2000 is primarily due
to investments in partnerships and affiliates of $32.5 million. Cash provided by
investing   activities  of  $4.1  million  in  1999  resulted  principally  from
partnership distributions.

    Cash used in financing activities of $3.8 million in 2000 was largely due to
the purchase of  additional  treasury  stock during the year.  Cash  provided by
financing  activities in 1999 of $62.2 million largely resulted from the receipt
of the net  proceeds  from the  Offering  of $96  million  partially  offset  by
distributions to GFI, of $18.2 million,  and to shareholders,  of $10.0 million,
prior to the date of the  Reorganization.  Proceeds  from the Offering are being
used for general  corporate  purposes and to initiate  strategic  growth  plans,
which call for expanding product offerings, enhancing distribution and marketing
of  existing  investment  products  and  pursuing  strategic   acquisitions  and
alliances. At present, the Company has no plans,  arrangements or understandings
relating to any specific  acquisitions or alliances,  and does not intend to use
any of the net proceeds from the Offering to pay debt service on the $50 million
payable to the Chairman under the terms of his Employment Agreement.

    Gabelli & Company is registered with the Commission as a  broker-dealer  and
is a member of the NASD.  As such,  it is subject  to the  minimum  net  capital
requirements promulgated by the Commission.  Gabelli & Company's net capital has
historically exceeded these minimum requirements. Gabelli & Company computes its
net capital under the  alternative  method  permitted by the  Commission,  which
requires  minimum net  capital of  $250,000.  As of December  31, 1999 and 2000,
Gabelli & Company had net capital,  as defined,  of approximately  $10.1 million
and  $16.0  million,  respectively,  exceeding  the  regulatory  requirement  by
approximately  $9.9  million and $15.8  million,  respectively.  Regulatory  net
capital requirements increase when Gabelli & Company is involved in underwriting
activities.

Market Risk

    The Company is subject to potential  losses from  certain  market risks as a
result of absolute and relative price movements in financial  instruments due to
changes in  interest  rates,  equity  prices and other  factors.  The  Company's
exposure  to  market  risk  is  directly   related  to  its  role  as  financial
intermediary  and  advisor  for assets  under  management  in its mutual  funds,
institutional and separate accounts business and its proprietary  investment and
trading  activities.  At December 31, 2000,  the Company's  primary  market risk
exposure was for changes in equity  prices and interest  rates.  At December 31,
1999 and 2000,  the  Company  had equity  investments,  including  mutual  funds
largely  invested  in equity  products,  of $45.6  million  and  $57.3  million,
respectively.  Investments  in mutual funds,  $31.2 million and $32.2 million at
December 31, 1999 and 2000,  respectively,  generally  lower market risk through
the  diversification  of  financial  instruments  within  their  portfolios.  In
addition,  the Company may alter its  investment  holdings  from time to time in
response to changes in market risks and other factors considered  appropriate by
management.

     The Company's exposure to interest rate risk results, principally, from its
investment  of excess cash in  government  obligations.  These  investments  are
primarily short term in nature and the fair value of these investments generally
approximates market value.

     The Company's revenues are largely driven by the market value of its assets
under  management and are therefore  exposed to fluctuations in market prices of
these assets, which are largely readily marketable equity securities. Investment
advisory  fees for  mutual  funds are  based on  average  daily or weekly  asset
values.  Management fees earned on institutional and separate accounts,  for any
given  quarter,  are  determined  based on asset  values  on the last day of the
preceding  quarter.  Any  significant  increases or decreases in market value of
assets  managed  which  occur on the last day of the  quarter  will  result in a
relative increase or decrease in revenues for the following quarter.

Recent Accounting Developments

     In 1998,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued SFAS No. 133
("Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities").  SFAS No. 133,
as amended,  establishes  standards for recognizing and fair valuing  derivative
financial  instruments.  SFAS No. 133 is required to be adopted for fiscal years
beginning after January 1, 2001. The Company does not expect the  implementation
of this  statement  to have any  significant  effect on the  Company's  reported
financial position or results of operations.

Seasonality and Inflation

    The  Company  does not  believe its  operations  are subject to  significant
seasonal fluctuations. The Company does not believe inflation will significantly
affect its  compensation  costs as they are  substantially  variable  in nature.
However,  the rate of inflation may affect Company  expenses such as information
technology  and  occupancy  costs.  To the  extent  inflation  results in rising
interest  rates  and has  other  effects  upon the  securities  markets,  it may
adversely affect the Company's  financial  position and results of operations by
reducing the Company's assets under management, revenues or otherwise.

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Gabelli Asset Management Inc. and Subsidiaries

    We have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  statements  of  financial
condition of Gabelli Asset  Management Inc. and  Subsidiaries as of December 31,
1999 and 2000 and the related consolidated  statements of income,  stockholders'
equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period  ended  December
31, 2000.  These financial  statements are the  responsibility  of the Company's
management.  Our  responsibility  is to express  an  opinion on these  financial
statements based on our audits.

    We conducted our audits in  accordance  with  auditing  standards  generally
accepted in the United States.  Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An
audit also includes  assessing the accounting  principles  used and  significant
estimates  made by  management,  as well as  evaluating  the  overall  financial
statement  presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable  basis
for our opinion.

    In our opinion,  the financial  statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects,  the consolidated  financial position of Gabelli Asset
Management  Inc.  and  Subsidiaries  at  December  31,  1999 and  2000,  and the
consolidated  results of their  operations  and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States.

subsidiaries)  was  incorporated in April 1998 in the state of New York, with no
significant assets or liabilities and did not engage in any substantial business
activities prior to the initial public offering  ("Offering") of its shares.  On
February 9, 1999, the Company  exchanged 24 million shares of its Class B Common
Stock,  representing all of its then issued and outstanding  common stock,  with
Gabelli Funds,  Inc. ("GFI") and two of its  subsidiaries in  consideration  for
substantially  all of the operating  assets and liabilities of GFI,  relating to
its   institutional   and  retail  asset   management,   mutual  fund  advisory,
underwriting and brokerage business (the "Reorganization"). GAMI distributed net
assets and  liabilities,  principally a  proprietary  investment  portfolio,  of
approximately  $165  million,  including  cash of $18  million,  which  has been
recorded for accounting  purposes as a deemed distribution to GFI. GFI was later
renamed Gabelli Group Capital Partners, Inc. ("GGCP").

    On February 17, 1999, the Company  completed its sale of 6 million shares of
Class A Common  Stock in the  Offering  and  received  proceeds,  after fees and
expenses, of approximately $96 million. Immediately after the Offering GFI owned
80% of the  outstanding  common  stock of the  Company.  In  addition,  with the
completion of the Offering, the Company became a "C" Corporation for Federal and
state  income tax  purposes and is subject to  substantially  higher  income tax
rates.

    The accompanying  consolidated financial statements for periods prior to the
date of the Reorganization include the assets,  liabilities and earnings of GFI,
its  wholly-owned  subsidiary  GAMCO  Investors,   Inc.  ("GAMCO"),   and  GFI's
majority-owned  subsidiaries  consisting of Gabelli  Securities,  Inc.  ("GSI"),
Gabelli  Fixed  Income  L.L.C.   ("Fixed  Income")  and  Gabelli  Advisers  Inc.
("Advisers").  After the Reorganization  these financial  statements include the
accounts  of  Gabelli  Funds,   L.L.C.,  GAMCO  and  former  GFI  majority-owned
subsidiaries GSI, Fixed Income and Advisers.

    At December 31, 1998, 1999 and 2000, the Company owned  approximately 77% of
GSI and 41% of Advisers, which, combined with the voting interests of affiliated
parties,  represented voting control,  and 80% of Fixed Income,  which commenced
operations on April 15, 1997.  All  significant  intercompany  transactions  and
balances have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

    The preparation of the consolidated  financial statements in conformity with
accounting   principles   generally  accepted  in  the  United  States  requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in
the consolidated  financial  statements and accompanying  notes.  Actual results
could differ from those estimates.

Nature of Operations

    GAMCO,  Gabelli  Funds  L.L.C.,  Fixed Income and  Advisers  are  registered
investment  advisers  under  the  Investment  Advisers  Act of 1940.  Gabelli  &
Company,  Inc.  ("Gabelli & Company") and Lynch Capital Corp.  ("Lynch Capital")
are both wholly owned  subsidiaries of GSI, are registered  broker-dealers  with
the Securities and Exchange  Commission  ("SEC") and are members of the National
Association of Securities  Dealers,  Inc. ("NASD").  Gabelli & Company and Lynch
Capital both act as an introducing broker and all transactions for its customers
are cleared  through New York Stock Exchange  member firms on a fully  disclosed
basis.  Accordingly,  open  customer  transactions  are  not  reflected  in  the
accompanying  consolidated  statements  of  financial  condition.  Both of these
broker dealers are exposed to credit losses on these open positions in the event
of nonperformance  by their customers.  This exposure is reduced by the clearing
brokers' policy of obtaining and maintaining  adequate collateral until the open
transaction is completed.

                                       36


Cash Equivalents

    Cash  equivalents  consist of highly liquid  investments  with a maturity of
three months or less at the time of purchase.

Securities Transactions

    Investments in securities are accounted for as "trading  securities" and are
stated at quoted market values.  Securities which are not readily marketable are
stated at their estimated fair values as determined by the Company's management.
The resulting unrealized


gains and losses are  included in net gain (loss) from  investments.  Securities
transactions  and any  related  gains and  losses are  recorded  on a trade date
basis.  Realized gains and losses from securities  transactions  are recorded on
the identified cost basis. Commissions and related clearing charges are recorded
on a trade date basis.

    Securities  sold,  but not yet  purchased are stated at quoted market values
and  represent  obligations  of  the  Company  to  purchase  the  securities  at
prevailing market prices. Therefore, the future satisfaction of such obligations
may  be  for an  amount  greater  or  less  than  the  amounts  recorded  on the
consolidated  statements of financial  condition.  The ultimate  gains or losses
recognized are dependent upon the prices at which these securities are purchased
to settle the obligations under the sales commitments.

Investments in Partnerships and Affiliates

    Investments in partnerships,  whose underlying  assets consist of marketable
securities,  and  investments  in affiliates  are accounted for using the equity
method,  under  which the  Company's  share of net  earnings  or losses of these
partnerships  and  affiliated  entities  is  reflected  in income as earned  and
distributions  received  are  reductions  of  the  investments.  Investments  in
partnerships  for which market  values are not readily  available  are stated at
their estimated fair values as determined by the Company's management.

Receivables from and Payables to Brokers

     Receivables  from and payables to brokers  consist of amounts  arising from
the purchases and sales of securities.

Investment Advisory Fees

     Investment  advisory  fees are based on  predetermined  percentages  of the
market values of the portfolios  under management and are recognized as revenues
as the related services are performed.

Depreciation and Amortization

    Fixed assets are recorded at cost and  depreciated  using the  straight-line
method over their estimated useful lives.  Leasehold  improvements are amortized
using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives or lease terms,
whichever is shorter.

Intangible Assets

    The cost in excess of net assets  acquired is amortized  on a  straight-line
basis  over ten  years.  The  carrying  value of cost in  excess  of net  assets
acquired is reviewed for impairment  whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that it may not be  recoverable  based upon  expectations  of operating
income  and  non-discounted  cash  flows over its  remaining  life.  Accumulated
amortization  at  December  31,  1999 and 2000 was  approximately  $578,000  and
$791,000, respectively.

Income Taxes

    The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method  prescribed
by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes." Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future
tax consequences attributable to the differences between the financial statement
carrying  amount of existing  assets and  liabilities  and their  respective tax
basis. Future tax benefits are recognized only to the extent that realization of
such benefits is more likely than not.

                                       37


Minority Interest

    Minority interest represents the minority  stockholders'  ownership of Fixed
Income, GSI and Advisers. With the exception of GSI, these minority stockholders
are principally employees, officers and directors of the Company.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

     The carrying amount of all assets and liabilities,  other than goodwill and
fixed assets, in the consolidated  statements of financial condition approximate
their fair values.


Earnings Per Share

    The Company has not presented  historical  net income per share for 1998 due
to the  significant  changes in its operations  which are not reflected in those
historical financial statements.  For the years ended December 31, 1999 and 2000
net income per share is computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128,  "Earnings Per
Share".  Basic net income per common share is  calculated by dividing net income
applicable to common  stockholders  by the weighted  average number of shares of
common stock outstanding.

    Diluted net income per share is computed  using the treasury  stock  method.
Diluted net income per share  assumes full  dilution and is computed by dividing
net income by the total of the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding and common stock equivalents.

Business Segments

    The Company operates  predominantly in one business segment,  the investment
advisory and asset management industry.

Distribution Costs

    The Company  incurs  certain  promotion and  distribution  costs,  which are
expensed as incurred,  related to the sale of shares of mutual funds  advised by
the Company (the "Funds").

Comprehensive Income

    The Company has not  presented a  consolidated  statement  of  comprehensive
income  in  accordance  with SFAS No.  130,  "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income,"
because it does not have any items of "other comprehensive income".

Reclassifications

    Certain items previously reported have been reclassified to conform with the
current year's financial statement presentation.

B.  Investments in Securities

    Investments  in  securities  at December  31,  1999 and 2000  consist of the

C.  Investments in Partnerships and Affiliates

    The Company is a co-General  Partner of various limited  partnerships  whose
underlying  assets  consist  primarily of marketable  securities.  As co-General
Partner,  the  Company  is  contingently  liable  for  all of the  partnerships'
liabilities.  Summary financial  information,  including the Company's  carrying
value and income from these  partnerships  at December 31, 1999 and 2000 and for
the years then ended, is as follows (in thousands):


                                       1999            2000
                                       ----            ----

 Company's income..............         8,612          6,571


    Income from the above  partnerships for the year ended December 31, 1998 was
approximately $2,162,000.

    The  Company's  income  from  these  partnerships  consists  of its pro rata
capital allocation and its share of a 20% incentive  allocation from the limited
partners.  The general partners also receive an annual  administrative fee based
on a percentage of each  partnership's net assets.  For the years ended December
31, 1998, 1999 and 2000, the Company earned administrative fees of approximately
$1,177,000, $1,328,000, and $1,745,000, respectively.

    At December  31, 1999 and 2000,  the  Company  had various  limited  partner
interests  in  unaffiliated  limited  partnerships   aggregating   approximately
$1,141,000 and $1,077,000,  respectively. For the years ended December 31, 1998,
1999  and  2000,  the net  gains  (losses)  recorded  by the  Company  in  these
investments approximated ($659,000), ($8,000), and $137,000, respectively.

                                       39


D.  Notes Receivable

    The Company had approximately $2,913,000 and $2,855,000 in various notes and
interest  receivable  outstanding  at December 31, 1999 and 2000,  respectively,
from certain executive officers and employees in connection with the acquisition
of ownership  interests in various  subsidiaries  and affiliates of the Company.
Interest rates on these notes range from 5% to 10%.

E.  Income Taxes

    The Company and its two less than 80% owned subsidiaries,  GSI and Advisers,
each file  separate  income tax returns.  Accordingly,  the income tax provision
represents the aggregate of the amounts provided for all companies.

    Prior to the  Offering,  the Company  elected to be taxed as a  Subchapter S
Corporation for Federal and state income tax purposes. Pursuant to this election
earnings were subject to tax at the stockholder  level rather than the corporate
level.  Therefore,  no  provision  was made for  Federal  income tax on earnings
generated by the Company in the consolidated  financial  statements prior to the
Offering.  In  conjunction  with  the  Offering  the S  Corporation  status  was
terminated  after  February  17,  1999  and  the  Company  became  subject  to a
substantially  higher  Federal and state income tax rate.  The Federal and state
income tax provisions for periods prior to the Offering are substantially  those
of GSI.

    The provision  (benefit)  for income taxes for the years ended  December 31,
1998, 1999 and 2000 consisted of the following:



                                       1998               1999              2000

    The Company's  effective  tax rate for each of the years ended  December 31,
1998, 1999 and 2000 was 8.5%, 32.4% and 39.6%, respectively.

    A  reconciliation  of the  Federal  statutory  income tax rate to the actual
effective rate reflected on the historical consolidated financial statements for
the years ended December 31, 1999 and 2000 is as follows:



                                                          1999          2000

    SFAS No. 109  requires  that  deferred  tax assets be reduced by a valuation
allowance  if it is more  likely than not that some or all of the  deferred  tax
asset may not be realized. Since the Company has a history of generating pre-tax
earnings and is expected to generate pre-tax earnings in future years sufficient
to realize the full benefit of the deferred  tax asset,  no valuation  allowance
has been recorded.

F. Notes Payable

    In  conjunction  with  the  Reorganization,  the  Company  entered  into  an
Employment  Agreement with its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer ("Chairman")
which,  in part,  provides the  Chairman  will be paid $50 million on January 2,
2002. Interest is payable quarterly at an annual rate of 6% from the date of the
Agreement.  This payment,  plus related costs and net of a related  deferred tax
benefit of $19.8 million, has been reflected as a one time charge to earnings in
the first quarter of 1999 and the liability has been recorded as a note payable.
Interest expense recorded on this note for the years ended December 31, 1999 and
2000 was $2,653,000 and $3,000,000, respectively.

    In connection with the  restructuring of GAMCO's  ownership,  GAMCO issued a
note  payable in 1997 of  approximately  $976,000 to an employee and director of
the Company and GAMCO,  respectively,  in consideration  for repurchase of GAMCO
common stock. The note was transferred to GGCP as part of the  Reorganization in
February 1999. Interest expense on this note amounted to approximately  $117,000
and $13,000 for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1999, respectively.

G.  Stockholders' Equity

Stock Award and Incentive Plan

     On February 5, 1999, the Board of Directors  adopted the 1999 Gabelli Asset
Management Inc. Stock Award and Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), designed to provide
incentives  which will attract and retain  individuals key to the success of the
Company  through  director  indirect  ownership of the  Company's  common stock.
Benefits  under the Plan may be  granted  in any one or a  combination  of stock
options,  stock appreciation rights,  restricted stock,  restricted stock units,
stock  awards,  dividend  equivalents  and other stock or cash based  awards.  A
maximum of 1,500,000 shares Class A Common Stock have been reserved for issuance
by a committee of the Board of Directors  charged with  administering  the Plan.
Under the Plan, the committee may grant either  incentive or nonqualified  stock
options  with a term not to  exceed  ten  years  from the  grant  date and at an
exercise price that the committee may determine.  Options granted under the Plan
vest 75% after  three years and 100% after four years from the date of grant and
expire after ten years.

               None of the options granted were exercisable at December 31, 1999
or December 31, 2000.


    The Company has elected to account  for stock  options  under the  intrinsic
value  method.  Under  the  intrinsic  value  method,  compensation  expense  is
recognized  only if the exercise price of the employee stock option is less than
the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant.

    The weighted  average  estimated fair value of the options  granted at their
grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model was as follows:




                                          1999         2000

    The Company applies Accounting  Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees,"  and related  interpretations  in accounting for
its stock option plan. Accordingly,  no compensation expense is recognized where
the exercise price equals or exceeds the market price of the underlying stock on
the date of the grant.  If the  Company  had  elected  to account  for its stock
options under the fair value method of SFAS No. 123  "Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation," the Company's net income and net income per share would have been
reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

Stock Repurchase Program

    During  1999  the  Board  of  Directors   authorized  the   repurchase,   at
management's  discretion,  of up to $6 million of its Class A common stock.  The
Company  completed the stock  buyback  during the first quarter of 2000 at which
time the Board of  Directors  authorized  the  repurchase  of an  additional  $3
million of shares in open market transactions. Under the program the Company has
repurchased  480,900  shares of common  stock  through  December  31, 2000 at an
aggregate cost of $8.0 million.

    Certain  shareholders of GSI are required to sell, upon  disassociation with
the  Company,  their  shares  to GSI at book  value  or a price  established  by
management (approximately $6.0 million at December 31, 2000).

H.  Capital Lease

    The Company leases office space from a company owned by stockholders of GFI.
The Company has recorded a capital  lease asset and liability for the fair value
of the leased  property.  Amortization  of the capital  lease is computed on the
straight-line  method  over the term of the  lease,  which  expires on April 30,
2013.  The lease provides that all operating  expenses  relating to the property
(such  as  property  taxes,  utilities  and  maintenance)  are to be paid by the
lessee, the Company.

    Future  minimum lease  payments for this  capitalized  lease at December 31,
2000 are as follows:

                                            (In thousands)

                                       43


    Lease payments under this agreement  amounted to approximately  $720,000 for
each of the years ended December 31, 1999 and 2000, respectively. Future minimum
lease payments have not been reduced by related minimum future sublease  rentals
of  approximately  $391,000,  of  which  approximately  $173,000  is due from an
affiliated entity.  Total minimum  obligations exclude the operating expenses to
be borne by the Company,  which are estimated to be  approximately  $600,000 per
year.

I.  Commitments

    The Company  rents office  space under leases which expire at various  dates
through  January 2006.  Future minimum lease  commitments  under these operating
leases as of December 31, 2000 are as follows:

                                  (In thousands)
                 2001...........     $   787

                 2005...........          24
                 Thereafter....            2
                                     -------
                                     $ 1,408
                                     =======

    Equipment   rentals  and  occupancy   expense   amounted  to   approximately
$1,502,000, $1,724,000 and $2,156,000 respectively, for the years ended December
31, 1998, 1999 and 2000.

J.  Related Party Transactions

    The  Company  serves  as the  investment  adviser  for the  Funds  and earns
advisory fees based on  predetermined  percentages  of the average net assets of
the  Funds.  In  addition,  Gabelli  & Company  has  entered  into  distribution
agreements with each of the Funds. As principal  distributor,  Gabelli & Company
incurs certain  promotional and  distribution  costs related to the sale of Fund
shares,  for which it  receives a fee from the Funds or  reimbursement  from the
Adviser.  Gabelli & Company  earns a majority  of its  commission  revenue  from
transactions executed on behalf of clients of affiliated companies.

    The  Company  had an  aggregate  investment  in the  Funds of  approximately
$136,938,000  and $101,108,000 at December 31, 1999 and 2000,  respectively,  of
which  approximately  $103,032,000 and $68,828,000 is invested in a money market
mutual fund at December 31, 1999 and 2000, respectively.

    Prior to the Reorganization,  the Company was required to pay the Chairman a
management  fee,  which was equal to 20% of the  pretax  profits  of each of the
Company's  operating  divisions  before  consideration  of this  management fee.
Immediately  preceding the Offering and in conjunction with the  Reorganization,
the  Company  and  its  Chairman  entered  into  an  Employment  Agreement.  The
Employment  Agreement provides that the Company will pay the Chairman 10% of the
Company's  aggregate pre-tax profits while he is an executive of the Company and
devoting  the  substantial  majority of his working  time to the business of the
Company. The Employment Agreement further provides that the Company will pay the
Chairman $50 million on January 2, 2002, which amount has been included in notes
payable  (see  Note  F).  The  management  fee  was  approximately  $12,246,000,
$10,153,000,  and  $11,296,000  for the years ended December 31, 1998,  1999 and
2000, respectively. The Chairman also received portfolio management compensation
and  account  executive  fees of  approximately  $30,105,000,  $31,645,000,  and
$34,203,000, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1999 and 2000,
which have been included in compensation costs.

                                       44


K.  Financial Requirements

    The Company is required to maintain  minimum  capital levels with affiliated
partnerships.   At  December  31,  2000,   the  minimum   capital   requirements
approximated $1,562,000.

    As a registered  broker-dealer,  Gabelli & Company is subject to Uniform Net
Capital Rule 15c3-1 (the  "Rule") of the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission.
Gabelli  &  Company  computes  its net  capital  under  the  alternative  method
permitted  by the Rule  which  requires  minimum  net  capital of  $250,000.  At
December  31,  2000,  Gabelli & Company had net capital in excess of the minimum
requirement of approximately $15,761,812.

L.  Administration Fees

     The Company has entered into administration agreements with other companies
(the  "Administrators"),  whereby the Administrators provide certain services on
behalf of several of the Funds.  Such  services do not  include  the  investment
advisory and portfoliomanagement  services provided by the Company. The fees are
negotiated based on  predetermined  percentages of the net assets of each of the
Funds.

M.  Profit Sharing Plan and Incentive Savings Plan

    The Company has a qualified  contributory  employee  profit sharing plan and
incentive   savings  plan  covering   substantially   all   employees.   Company
contributions to the plans are determined annually by the Board of Directors but
may not exceed the amount  permitted as a deductible  expense under the Internal
Revenue  Code.  The Company  accrued  contributions  of  approximately  $50,000,
$60,000 and $80,000,  to the plans for the years ended  December 31, 1998,  1999
and 2000, respectively.

N.  Derivative Financial Instruments

    Prior to the  Reorganization,  the  Company's  trading  activities  included
transactions  in  domestic  equity  index  futures  contracts.  These  financial
instruments represent future commitments to purchase or sell an underlying index
for  specified   amounts  at  specified  future  dates.  Such  contracts  create
off-balance  sheet  risk for the  Company as the  future  satisfaction  of these
contracts  may  be for  amounts  in  excess  of the  amounts  recognized  in the
consolidated statements of financial condition.

    In connection  with this futures  activity,  the Company  incurred losses of
approximately $4,749,000,  during the year ended December 31, 1998 and a gain of
$542,000 in 1999.  There were no gains or losses for the year ended December 31,
2000.  Such gains and losses  were  reflected  as part of net gain  (loss)  from
investments in the consolidated statements of income.

O.  PCS Licenses

    The  Company,   through  Rivgam   Communicators,   LLC  purchased   Personal
Communications  Service ("PCS") licenses auctioned by the Federal Communications
Commission  ("FCC") in 1997.  During  1998,  the Company sold certain of its PCS
licenses with a cost basis of $51,551,000.  The Company  recorded a pre-tax gain
of approximately  $17,614,000,  net of investment banking,  management and other
related fees of  approximately  $10,835,000 paid principally to related parties,
of which $4,196,000 was paid to the Company's Chairman.

    In conjunction with the  Reorganization the remaining licenses were included
as part of the net assets and liabilities distributed to GFI.

P.  Quarterly Financial Information (Unaudited)

    Quarterly  financial  information  for the years ended December 31, 1999 and
2000 is presented below. The financial information for the first quarter of 1999
has been  presented on a pro forma  basis.  Historical  information,  except for
revenues,  for the first quarter of 1999 is not presented due to the significant
changes in the Company's  operations  which are not reflected in the  historical
consolidated financial statements (See Note A).

                                       45


    Pro forma financial information reflects the results of operations as if all
of the following were in effect at January 1, 1999:  the Formation  Transactions
and resulting  impact on income and expense items; the $50 million note payable;
the  reduction  in  management  fee  from 20% to 10% and the  conversion  from a
Subchapter S Corporation to a "C" Corporation for tax purposes.

    Operating income,  net income and net income per share for the first quarter
1999 exclude a non-recurring  charge related to the note payable ($30.9 million,
net of tax  benefit  of $19.8  million,  or $1.03  per  share).  Including  this
non-recurring  charge the Company had an operating  loss,  net loss and net loss
per share of $35.9 million, $21.6 million and $0.72, respectively, for the first
quarter of 1999.

Q.  Subsequent Events

    On February 20, 2001 the  Company's  Board of Directors  approved the fourth
option grant under the Stock Award and Incentive  Plan for 172,500  shares at an
exercise price, equal to the market price on that date, of $31.62 per share.

    Subsequent to year end the Company  repurchased an additional  30,000 shares
of  its  Class  A  Common  Stock  at an  aggregate  cost  of  $0.9  million  and
substantially  completed its $9 million stock repurchase  program.  The Board of
Directors  then  authorized  the repurchase of up to an additional $3 million of
these shares under this program at the discretion of management.

                                December 31, 1999

    The following unaudited pro forma consolidated  financial  information gives
effect  to assets  and  liabilities  assumed  to be  distributed  as part of the
Reorganization  and the resulting impact on allocated  income and expenses;  the
$50 million deferred payment to the Chairman and Chief Executive  Officer net of
deferred  tax  benefit;  the  reduction  in the  management  fee from 20% to 10%
pursuant to the Employment Agreement; and the conversion from an "S" corporation
to a "C" corporation.

    The unaudited pro forma consolidated  financial information does not purport
to represent the results of operations or the financial  position of the Company
which  actually  would  have  occurred  had  the  Reorganization  and  Formation
Transactions been previously consummated or project the results of operations or
the  financial  position  of the  Company  for any future  date or  period.  The
unaudited  pro forma  information  does not give  effect to the use of  proceeds
