1 ORGANISATION
ELMWOOD FUNDING LIMITED (the "Company") was incorporated under the Companies
Law (Revised) of the Cayman Islands on 17 September 1996 as an exempted
company. The Company's operations consist solely of fulfilling its obligations
as depositor, relating to the issue of Bond-backed Investment Certificates
(the "Certificates") offered through, and which represent in the aggregate,
the entire beneficial ownership in a trust (the "Trust") formed pursuant to
the Trust Agreement dated as of 14 March 1997 between the Company and the
United States Trust Company, as trustee. The first series of certificates,
Series 1997-AT&T, were issued on 25 March 1997.
The Company has thus surrendered to the Trust all future economic interests in
both the Certificates issued and the underlying securities by which they are
collateralised. According to the terms of the trust agreements, the holders
of the Certificates can look only to the related collateral held by the Trust
for repayment of both principal and interest. The Certificates do not
represent a recourse obligation or interest in the Company and in accordance
with United States generally accepted accounting principles the Certificates
and related collateral are not reflected in the accompanying statement of
financial condition.
Each series of Certificates represents the entire beneficial ownership
interest in a publicly issued fixed income debt security issued pursuant to an
effective registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, or in a debt security issued, or directly and fully guaranteed or
insured, by the Government of the United States of America, or by any of
certain specified entities controlled or supervised by and acting as an
instrumentality of the Government of the United States of America and exempt
from the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by reason of Section 3(a)(2)
thereof, or another Federal Statute, or a pool of such debt securities
together with other assets designed to assure the service or timely
distribution of payments to holders of the Certificates. These underlying
securities are deposited in a trust for the benefit of holders of Certificates
of such series.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These unaudited financial statements are prepared in accordance with United
States generally accepted accounting principles. The following are the
significant accounting policies adopted by the Company:
1.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates
3 FEES AND EXPENSES
All ongoing fees of the Company are met by the holders of the Retained
Interest and distributed by the trusts (see Note 6). Therefore, these expenses
are not included in the statement of operations.
4 CASH AT BANK
Cash at bank is comprised of funds on a call account maintained at Deutsche
Morgan Grenfell (Cayman) Limited.
5 Investments
The Company purchased US$20,000,000, nominal value, of the US$250,000,000
7.125% notes due 15 June 2009 issued by The Chase Manhattan Corporation on 12
June 1997 (the "Notes"). The Notes were transferred to the Trust as collateral
for the Series 1998-Chase-1 series of Bond-backed Investment Certificates
issued by the Trust. The transfer extinguished all amounts due to the Trust by
the Company and fulfilled its obligation as depositor pursuant to the Trust
Agreement.

6 BOND BACKED INVESTMENT CERTIFICATES
On 9 February 1998, the Company effected an issue on behalf of the Trust of
US$20,000,000, nominal value, Bond-backed Investment Certificates under the
Series 1998-Chase-1 series. The underwriters purchased the Certificates at
98.65% of the outstanding principal balance. The proceeds were immediately
transferred to the Company to purchase the Notes. The Certificates bear
interest at a fixed rate of 6.375%. Distributions of interest and principal
will be made on or about 15 June and 15 December of each year commencing 15
June 1998. The holders of the Certificates will receive principal
distributions as principal is received on the Notes. The Certificates are
scheduled to mature on 15 June 2009.
7 OPTIONS, RIGHTS AND RETAINED INTERESTS
The holder of the retained interest retains the right to a distribution equal
to the premium of the interest earned on the underlying security over that
paid on the trust certificate subject to payment of ordinary expenses of the
trustee and administration expenses of the Company. The rights of the holder
of the retained interest to the above premium is equal in priority to the
rights of the holders of the certificate to receive interest on the
underlying securities.
In respect of current series of bond-backed investment certificates, in
accordance with the terms of the Trust and those outlined in the related
Prospectus Supplemental dated 15 January 1998, the options, rights and
Retained Interests were immediately sold by the Trust to a third party and
then transferred to the Company to complete the purchase of the Notes.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Company purchased US$20,000,000, nominal value, of the US$250,000,000 7.125%
notes due 15 June 2009 issued by The Chase Manhattan Corporation on 12 June
1997 (the "Notes"). The Notes were transferred to the Trust as collateral for
the Series 1998-Chase-1 bond backed investment certificates issued by the Trust.
The transfer extinguished all amounts due to the Trust by the Company and
fulfilled its obligation as depositor pursuant to the Trust Agreement.
On 9 February 1998, the Company effected an issue on behalf of the Trust of
US$20,000,000, nominal value, Bond-backed Investment Certificates under the
Series 1998-Chase-1 series. The underwriters purchased the Certificates at
98.65% of the outstanding principal balance. The proceeds were immediately
transferred to the Company to purchase the Notes. The Certificates bear
interest at a fixed rate of 6.375%. Distributions of interest and principal
will be made on or about 15 June and 15 December of each year commencing 15
June 1998. The holders of the Certificates will receive principal distributions
as principal is received on the Notes. The Certificates are scheduled to mature
on 15 June 2009.
The Company has surrendered to the Trust all future economic interests in both
the Certificates issued and the underlying securities by which they are
collateralised. According to the terms of the trust agreements, the holders of
the Certificates can look only to the related collateral held by the Trust for
repayment of both principal and interest. The Certificates do not represent a
recourse obligation or interest in the Company.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
In fulfilling its obligations as depositor and pursuant to the Trust Agreement,
the Company has no future economic interest or obligation in relation to the
Certificates issued or the underlying securities transferred to the Trust.
Accordingly no income or expenses have been incurred through the operations of
the Company.
All ongoing fees of the Company are met by the holders of the Retained Interest
and distributed by the trusts. Therefore, these expenses are not included in
the statement of operations.
