1. Presentation of Financial Information

The accompanying  unaudited  consolidated interim financial statements have been
prepared in accordance  with  accounting  principles  generally  accepted in the
United States for interim  financial  information  and with the  instructions to
Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all
of the information  and footnotes  required by accounting  principles  generally
accepted  in  the  United  States  for  complete   financial   statements.   The
accompanying  unaudited consolidated interim financial statements should be read
in  conjunction  with the  financial  statements  and the  related  management's
discussion and analysis of financial  condition and results of operations  filed
with the Annual  Report on Form 10-K of Capital  Trust,  Inc.  and  Subsidiaries
(collectively,  the  "Company")  for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000. In
the opinion of management,  all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
accruals) considered  necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  The
results  of  operations  for the three  months  ended  March 31,  2001,  are not
necessarily  indicative  of results  that may be  expected  for the entire  year
ending December 31, 2001.

The accompanying  unaudited  consolidated  interim  financial  statements of the
Company include the accounts of the Company and its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries.
All significant  intercompany  balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.  The accounting and reporting  policies of the Company conform in
all material respects to accounting  principles generally accepted in the United
States.  Certain  prior  period  amounts  have been  reclassified  to conform to
current period classifications.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Derivative Financial Instruments

In the normal  course of  business,  the  Company  uses a variety of  derivative
financial  instruments  to manage,  or hedge,  interest  rate risk.  The Company
requires  derivative  financial  instruments  to be  effective  in reducing  its
interest rate risk exposure.  This effectiveness is essential for qualifying for
hedge accounting.  When the terms of an underlying  transaction are modified, or
when the underlying  hedged item ceases to exist,  all changes in the fair value
of the  instrument  are  marked-to-market  with changes in value included in net
income each period until the derivative  instrument  matures or is settled.  Any
derivative  instrument  used for risk  management that does not meet the hedging
criteria is marked-to-market each period.

The Company uses interest rate swaps to effectively  convert  variable rate debt
to  fixed  rate  debt  for the  financed  portion  of  fixed  rate  assets.  The
differential  to be paid or received on these  agreements  is  recognized  as an
adjustment  to the interest  expense  related to debt and is  recognized  on the
accrual basis.

The Company also uses interest rate caps to reduce its exposure to interest rate
changes on  investments.  The Company will receive  payments on an interest rate
cap should the variable rate for which the cap was purchased  exceed a specified
threshold  level and will be recorded as an  adjustment  to the interest  income
related to the related earning asset.

To  determine  the fair values of  derivative  instruments,  the Company  uses a
variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks
existing at each balance sheet date.  For the majority of financial  instruments
including most derivatives,  long-term  investments and long-term debt, standard
market conventions and techniques such as discounted cash flow analysis,  option
pricing models,  replacement  cost, and  termination  cost are used to determine
fair  value.   All  methods  of  assessing   fair  value  result  in  a  general
approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized.

The swap and cap  agreements are generally held to maturity and the Company does
not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

3. Use of Estimates

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

5. Derivative Financial Instruments

On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended by SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for
Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133, as
amended,   establishes   accounting  and  reporting   standards  for  derivative
instruments.  Specifically  SFAS No. 133  requires  an entity to  recognize  all
derivatives  as either  assets or  liabilities  in the  statement  of  financial
position and to measure those instruments at fair value. Additionally,  the fair
value  adjustments  will  affect  either  shareholders'  equity  or  net  income
depending  on  whether  the  derivative  instrument  qualifies  as a  hedge  for
accounting  purposes  and,  if so, the  nature of the  hedging  activity.  As of
January 1, 2001,  the adoption of the new standard  results in an  adjustment of
$574,000 to accumulated other comprehensive loss and other liabilities.

In the  normal  course of  business,  the  Company  is  exposed to the effect of
interest rate changes.  The Company limits these risks by following  established
risk management  policies and procedures  including the use of derivatives.  For
interest rate exposures,  derivatives are used primarily to align rate movements
between  interest rates  associated with the Company's loans and other financial
assets with  interest  rates on related debt  financing,  and manage the cost of
borrowing obligations.

The  Company  does not use  derivatives  for  trading or  speculative  purposes.
Further,  the Company has a policy of only  entering into  contracts  with major
financial  institutions based upon their credit ratings and other factors.  When
viewed in  conjunction  with the  underlying  and  offsetting  exposure that the
derivatives are designed to hedge, the Company has not sustained a material loss
from those  instruments,  nor does it anticipate any material  adverse effect on
its net income or financial position in the future from the use of derivatives.

To manage interest rate risk, the Company may employ options, forwards, interest
rate swaps, caps and floors or a combination thereof depending on the underlying
exposure.  To reduce  overall  interest  cost,  the Company uses  interest  rate
instruments, typically interest rate swaps, to convert a portion of its variable
rate debt to fixed rate debt. Interest rate differentials that arise under these
swap  contracts  are  recognized  as  interest  expense  over  the  life  of the
contracts.

The  following  table  summarizes  the  notional  value  and  fair  value of the
Company's derivative financial instruments,  principally swap contracts at March
31,  2001.  The  notional  value  provides  an  indication  of the extent of the
Company's  involvement in these instruments at that time, but does not represent
exposure to credit, interest rate or foreign exchange market risks.




                                                                        Interest

Swap             Cash Flow Hedge                   28,000,000              5.793%             2001                (156,000)
Swap             Cash Flow Hedge                   37,125,000              5.905%             2008                (990,000)
Swap             Cash Flow Hedge                   18,838,000              6.035%             2003                (553,000)

Financial reporting for hedges  characterized as fair value hedges and cash flow
hedges are different.  For those hedges characterized as a fair value hedge, the
changes in fair value of the hedge and the hedged item are reflected in earnings
each quarter.  In the case of the fair value hedge listed above,  the Company is
hedging the component of interest  rate risk that can be directly  controlled by
the  hedging  instrument,  and it is this  portion of the hedged  assets that is
recognized   in  earnings.   The   non-hedged   balance  is   classified  as  an
available-for-sale  security  consistent  with SFAS No. 115,  and is reported in
accumulated other comprehensive  income. For those hedges  characterized as cash
flow hedges,  the unrealized  gains/losses in the fair value of these hedges are
reported  on  the  balance  sheet  with a  corresponding  adjustment  to  either
accumulated other comprehensive income or in earnings,  depending on the type of
hedging relationship.

On March 31, 2001, the derivative  financial  instruments were reported at their
fair value as other  assets and other  liabilities  of $51,000  and  $6,739,000,
respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2001,  the Company  recognized a gain of
$16,000 for the change in time value for  qualifying  interest rate hedges.  The
time value is a component of fair value that must be recognized in earnings, and
is shown in the consolidated statement of income as other expense.

The fair value hedge in the above table was undertaken by the Company to sustain
the value of the  Company's  CMBS bond  holdings.  This fair value  hedge,  when
viewed in conjunction  with the fair value of the bonds, is sustaining the value
of those bonds as interest  rates rise and fall.  During the three  months ended
March 31, 2001, the Company  recognized a loss of $3,392,000 for the decrease in
the value of the swap which was substantially offset by a gain of $3,152,000 for
the  change  in the fair  value  of the  bonds  attributed  to the  hedged  risk
resulting in a $240,000 charge to other expense on the consolidated statement of
income.

The Company  utilizes cash flow hedges in order to better control interest costs
on variable rate debt  transactions.  Interest rate swaps that convert  variable
payments to fixed payments,  interest rate caps, floors,  collars,  and forwards
are considered  cash flow hedges.  During the three months ended March 31, 2001,
the fair  value of the cash  flow  swaps  decreased  by  $1,802,000,  which  was
deferred into other comprehensive loss and will be released to earnings over the
remaining lives of the swaps.

Over  time,  the  unrealized   gains  and  losses  held  in  accumulated   other
comprehensive income will be reclassified to earnings.  This reclassification is
consistent  with when the hedged items are also  recognized in earnings.  Within
the next twelve months,  the Company  estimates that $656,830  currently held in
accumulated other  comprehensive  income will be reclassified to earnings,  with
regard to the cash flow hedges.

Deferred  income  taxes  reflect  the net tax effects of  temporary  differences
between the carrying  amounts of assets and liabilities for financial  reporting
purposes and the amounts used for tax reporting purposes.

The  components of the net deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2001 and December
31, 2000 are as follows (in thousands):

10. Subsequent Event

On April 9, 2001, CT Mezzanine Partners II, LP ("Fund II"), the Company's second
commercial real estate  mezzanine  investment fund  co-sponsored  with Citigroup
Investments  Inc.  ("Citigroup"), effected  its initial  closing  (the  "Initial
Closing"). Fund II closed on an aggregate of $500 million in capital commitments
made primarily by third-party  institutional private equity investors.  Pursuant
to the venture  agreement among the parties  thereto (the "Venture  Agreement"),
affiliates  of the Company  and  Citigroup  made  capital  commitments  of $33.1
million and $132.4 million, respectively, to Fund II.

Fund  II  commenced  its  investment  operations  immediately  and  the  Company
anticipates a final  closing no later than June 30, 2001 (the "Final  Closing").
The Company will make an additional capital commitment to Fund II, the amount of
such  commitment to be based upon the amount of commitments  made by third party
investors at subsequent closings.

Based upon the $500 million  aggregate  capital  commitments made at the Initial
Closing, the Company will earn annual investment management fees of $6.6 million
through the service of its  subsidiary,  CT  Investment  Management  Co. LLC, as
investment manager to Fund II.

Pursuant to the Venture Agreement,  in connection with the Initial Closing,  the
Company issued to Citigroup a warrant to purchase  3,015,600 shares of its Class
A Common  Stock  at an  exercise  price  of $5.00  per  share.  The  warrant  is
immediately  exercisable  and expires on March 8, 2005. The Company is obligated
to issue additional  warrants at subsequent  closings with the same exercise and
expiration  terms.  The number of shares of Class A Common Stock subject to such
warrants  shall be determined  based upon the amount of  additional  third party
investor capital commitments made at such closings.

In addition, in connection with the Initial Closing, the Company repurchased for
$29,138,000  in  privately  negotiated  transactions  630,701  shares of Class A
Common  Stock,  1,520,831  shares of Class B Common Stock,  1,518,390  shares of
Class A Preferred  Stock and 2,274,110  shares of Class B Preferred  Stock.  The
sellers of such capital stock made aggregate  capital  commitments to Fund II of
$30 million.

With the foregoing  repurchase of Preferred  Stock,  the Company has reduced its
annual dividend requirement from $1,615,000 to $646,000 per annum.

Overview of Financial Condition

Since December 31, 2000, the Company  funded  $608,000 of commitments  under two
existing  loans.  The Company  received full  satisfaction of one loan for $13.0
million  and  partial  repayments  on five  loans and a  certificated  mezzanine
investment   totaling  $13.1  million.  At  March  31,  2001,  the  Company  had
outstanding  loans,   certificated  mezzanine  investments  and  investments  in
commercial  mortgage-backed  securities totaling  approximately $567 million and
additional  commitments for funding on an outstanding loan of approximately $4.9
million.

Since December 31, 2000, the Company has made equity  contributions to Fund I of
$21.5 million of which Fund I has returned $865,000. The Company's investment in
Fund I at March 31, 2001 is $47.4  million.  The Company has  capitalized  costs
totaling  $4,752,000  that will be amortized over the  anticipated  lives of the
Mezzanine  Funds.  As of  March  31,  2001,  Fund I has  outstanding  loans  and
investments  totaling $272.6 million,  all of which are performing in accordance
with the terms of their loan agreements.

At March 31, 2001, the Company had $170.7 million  outstanding  under the credit
facilities.  The decrease in the amount  outstanding under the credit facilities
from the amount outstanding at December 31, 2000 was due to the


                                       12





cash  received  on  loan  repayments  being  utilized  to pay  down  the  credit
facilities   substantially  offset  by  additional  borrowings  to  fund  equity
contributions to Fund I.

At March 31, 2001, the Company has one repurchase obligation that matures in May
2001. This repurchase  obligation relates to an asset sold by the Company with a
carrying amount of $22.1 million,  which  approximates the asset's market value,
for which the Company has a liability to repurchase the asset for $16.3 million.
The interest rate in effect for the repurchase  obligation at March 31, 2000 was
6.78%. The Company expects to extend the repurchase  agreement for an additional
year at maturity.

On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended by SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for
Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133, as
amended,   establishes   accounting  and  reporting   standards  for  derivative
instruments.  Specifically  SFAS No. 133  requires  an entity to  recognize  all
derivatives  as either  assets or  liabilities  in the  statement  of  financial
position and to measure those instruments at fair value. Additionally,  the fair
value  adjustments  will  affect  either  shareholders'  equity  or  net  income
depending  on  whether  the  derivative  instrument  qualifies  as a  hedge  for
accounting  purposes  and,  if so, the  nature of the  hedging  activity.  As of
January 1, 2001,  the adoption of the new standard  results in an  adjustment of
$574,000 to accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Financial reporting for hedges  characterized as fair value hedges and cash flow
hedges are different.  For those hedges characterized as a fair value hedge, the
changes in fair value of the hedge and the hedged item are reflected in earnings
each quarter.  In the case of the fair value hedge listed above,  the Company is
hedging the component of interest  rate risk that can be directly  controlled by
the  hedging  instrument,  and it is this  portion of the hedged  assets that is
recognized   in  earnings.   The   non-hedged   balance  is   classified  as  an
available-for-sale  security  consistent  with SFAS No. 115,  and is reported in
accumulated other comprehensive  income. For those hedges  characterized as cash
flow hedges,  the unrealized  gains/losses in the fair value of these hedges are
reported  on  the  balance  sheet  with a  corresponding  adjustment  to  either
accumulated other comprehensive income or in earnings,  depending on the type of
hedging  relationship.  In accordance  with SFAS No. 133, on March 31, 2001, the
derivative  financial  instruments  were  reported  at their fair value as other
assets and other liabilities of $51,000 and $6,739,000, respectively.

During 2000, the Company  announced a share  repurchase  program under which the
Company  may  purchase,  from  time to time,  up to four  million  shares of the
Company's  Class A Common  Stock.  During the three months ended March 31, 2001,
the Company did not  purchase any  additional  shares of the  Company's  Class A
Common  Stock  pursuant  to the  repurchase  program  and has  1,435,600  shares
authorized for repurchase  remaining under the program. The Company has and will
continue to fund share repurchases with available cash.

Now that the Company's new investment management business has commenced and Fund
II's  asset  origination  and  acquisition  activities  are  ongoing  under  the
management  of  CTIMCO,  the  Company  will not  reinvest  directly  for its own
portfolio  the working  capital  derived from  maturing  loans and  investments,
unless  otherwise  approved or  permitted by Fund II or other  Mezzanine  Funds.
Pursuant to the Venture Agreement,  the Company will source potential investment
opportunities  to Fund  II and  will  use  such  working  capital  to  make  its
contributions to the fund as and when required.  Therefore, if the amount of the
Company's maturing loans and investments  increases  significantly before excess
capital  is  invested  in Fund  II or  other  funds,  or  otherwise  accretively
deployed,  the Company may experience temporary shortfalls in revenues and lower
earnings until offsetting revenues are derived from the funds.



                                       13




Comparison  of the Three  Months  Ended March 31, 2001 to the Three Months Ended
March 31, 2000

The  Company  reported  net  income  allocable  to  shares  of  Common  Stock of
$1,320,000  for the three months ended March 31, 2001, a decrease of  $1,195,000
from the net income  allocable to shares of Common Stock of  $2,515,000  for the
three months ended March 31, 2000. This decrease was primarily the result of the
reduction of interest  earning  assets and  decreased  advisory  and  investment
banking revenues.

Interest  and  related  income  from  loans and other  investments  amounted  to
$17,913,000  for the three months ended March 31, 2001, a decrease of $4,780,000
from the  $22,693,000  amount for the three months  ended March 31, 2000.  While
average interest earning assets decreased from approximately  $756.0 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2000 to  approximately  $592.6  million for the
three  months  ended March 31,  2001,  the  interest  rate earned on such assets
increased  from 12.0% in 2000 to 12.3% in 2001.  During the three  months  ended
March 31,  2001,  the Company  recognized  an  additional  $505,000 on the early
repayment of two loans,  while during the three months ended March 31, 2000, the
Company  recognized  an  additional  $456,000 on the early  repayment of a loan.
Without this additional  interest  income,  the earning rate for 2001 would have
been 11.9% versus 11.8% for 2000.  The increase is due to a change in the mix of
the loan portfolio to an increased level of Mezzanine Loans, which generally pay
interest at a higher rate than Mortgage Loans.

During the second quarter of 2000, Fund I commenced operations and for the three
months  ended  March  31,  2001,  the  Company  earned  $859,000  on its  equity
investment in the fund.

Interest and related expenses  amounted to $7,254,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2001, a decrease of  $2,960,000  from the  $10,214,000  amount for the
three months ended March 31, 2000. The decrease in expense was due to a decrease
in the amount of average interest bearing liabilities from approximately  $455.5
million at an average  rate of 9.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to
approximately  $317.9  million at an average  rate of 9.2% for the three  months
ended March 31,  2001.  The increase in the average rate is a result of a change
in the mix of interest bearing liabilities to a higher percentage being the term
redeemable  securities  contract  which is  generally  at a higher rate than the
other forms of interest bearing liabilities.

In  addition,  the Company also  utilized  proceeds  from the $150.0  million of
Convertible  Trust Preferred  Securities,  which were issued on July 28, 1998 to
finance its interest  earning  assets.  Effective May 10, 2000, the terms of the
Convertible Trust Preferred Securities were modified resulting in an increase in
the  blended  rate on the  securities  from 8.25% to 10.16% on that  date.  As a
result,  net expenses  related to the  Convertible  Trust  Preferred  Securities
increased  from  $1,741,000  for  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  2000 to
$2,120,000 for the same period in 2001. This amount  consisted of  distributions
to  the  holders   totaling   $3,094,000  and  $3,809,000,   respectively,   and
amortization of discount and origination  costs totaling  $199,000 and $200,000,
respectively,  during the three months  ended March 31, 2000 and 2001.  This was
partially offset by a tax benefit of $1,552,000 and $1,889,000  during the three
months ended March 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2001, other revenues totaled $408,000, a
decrease of $1,119,000 from the same  three-month  period in 2000. For the three
months ended March 31, 2001,  there was $1,250,000  less advisory and investment
banking  fees when  compared  to such fees in the prior  year.  The  significant
reduction in resources devoted to the Company's  investment banking and advisory
operations  following the transition to its new investment  management business,
which generated  $182,000 of investment  management fees in the first quarter of
2001,  is expected to  eliminate  advisory  and  investment  banking fee earning
opportunities in the future.

Other expenses  decreased  from  $4,896,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2000 to  $4,834,000  for the three  months  ended  March 31,  2001.  General and
administrative expenses have remained relatively consistent from year to year as
average staffing levels remained consistent from year to year. During the period
ended March 31,  2001,  the Company had an average of 23 full time  employees as
compared to an average of 27 during the period ended March 31, 2000. The Company
had 23 full time  employees  and two  part-time  employees at March 31, 2001. As
previously  discussed,  the Company  adopted SFAS No. 133 on January 1, 2001 and
for the three months ended March 31, 2001 recorded  expenses of $224,000 related
to hedges which were  required to be accounted for as other  expenses.  This new
expense was offset by a decrease in the  provision  for  possible  loan  losses,
which was the result of a decreased level of average interest earning assets.

For the  three  months  ended  March  31,  2001 and 2000,  the  Company  accrued
$3,248,000  and  $4,450,000,  respectively,  of income tax expense for  federal,
state and local income taxes.  The decrease in the effective tax rate from 48.8%
for the three  months  ended March 31, 2000 to 45.8% for the three  months ended
March 31, 2001 was  primarily  due to a decrease in  earnings  before  taxes and
distributions and amortization on Convertible Trust Preferred Securities,  which
increased the percentage  effect of differences  between book and tax basis, and
the reversal of an asset reserve,  which became deductible for tax purposes when
the asset was settled during the three months ended March 31, 2001.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2001, the Company had  $12,395,000 in cash. The primary  sources of
liquidity for the Company for the  remainder of 2001 will be cash on hand,  cash
generated  from  operations,   principal  and  interest   payments  received  on
investments  (including  loan repayments and the return of capital from Fund I),
and additional  borrowings  under its Credit  Facilities.  The Company  believes
these  sources of capital will  adequately  meet future cash  requirements.  The
Company  expects that during the  remainder of 2001,  it will use a  significant
amount of its available capital  resources to satisfy its capital  contributions
required  in  connection  with Fund II and to  repurchase  Common and  Preferred
Stock. In connection with the existing  portfolio  investment and loan business,
the Company intends to employ leverage up to a maximum 5:1 debt-to-equity  ratio
to enhance its return on equity.

The  Company  experienced  a net  increase in cash of  $1,007,000  for the three
months ended March 31, 2001, compared to the net decrease of $11,161,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2000.  The use of cash in the first quarter of 2000
was primarily to reduce  liabilities  and make equity  contributions  to Fund I.
Cash used in operating  activities  during the three months ended March 31, 2001
was $28,000, a reduction of $1,588,000 from cash used by operating activities of
$1,616,000  during the same period of 2000. For the three months ended March 31,
2001,  cash  provided by  investing  activities  was  $4,724,000,  a decrease of
$77,611,000 from $82,335,000 used during the same period in 2000, primarily as a
result of a reduced level of repayments  received on loans from that received in
the prior year. The Company utilized the cash received on loan repayments in the
prior year to reduce  the credit  facilities,  which  accounted  for most of the
$91,880,000 use of cash in financing  activities in the first quarter of 2000, a
$88,191,000  decrease to the $3,689,000 used in financing activities in the same
period of 2001.

At March 31, 2001, the Company has one outstanding  note payable for $1,401,000,
outstanding borrowings under the credit facilities of $170,723,000,  outstanding
borrowings on the term redeemable  securities  contract of  $134,166,000  and an
outstanding repurchase obligation of $16,265,000. At March 31, 2001, the Company
had $477,706,000 of borrowing capacity available under the credit facilities.

ITEM 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The principal objective of the Company's  asset/liability  management activities
is to maximize net interest  income,  while  minimizing  levels of interest rate
risk.  Net  interest  income and  interest  expense  are  subject to the risk of
interest rate  fluctuations.  To mitigate the impact of fluctuations in interest
rates,  the Company uses interest rate swaps to  effectively  convert fixed rate
assets  to  variable  rate  assets  for  proper   matching  with  variable  rate
liabilities and variable rate  liabilities to fixed rate  liabilities for proper
matching with fixed rate assets. Each derivative used as a hedge is matched with
an asset or liability with which it has a high correlation.  The swap agreements
are generally held to maturity and the Company does not use derivative financial
instruments for trading purposes. The Company uses interest rate swaps to reduce
the Company's exposure to interest rate fluctuations on certain fixed rate loans
and  investments  and to provide more stable  spreads  between rates received on
loans and investments and the rates paid on their financing sources.

The  following  table  provides   information  about  the  Company's   financial
instruments  that are sensitive to changes in interest  rates at March 31, 2001.
For financial assets and debt obligations,  the table presents cash flows to the
expected  maturity and weighted  average  interest  rates based upon the current
carrying values.  For interest rate swaps,  the table presents  notional amounts
and  weighted   average  fixed  pay  and  variable  receive  interest  rates  by
contractual  maturity  dates.   Notional  amounts  are  used  to  calculate  the
contractual  cash flows to be  exchanged  under the  contract.  Weighted-average
variable rates are based on rates in effect as of the reporting date.
