NOTE TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of
Merrill Lynch Preferred Funding I, L.P. (the "Partnership") for the year ended
December 26, 1997. The December 26, 1997 balance sheet was derived from the
audited financial statements. The interim financial statements for the three-
and nine-month periods are unaudited; however, in the opinion of the General
Partner of the Partnership, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
accruals necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, have been
included.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
Merrill Lynch Preferred Capital Trust I (the "Trust") is a statutory
business trust formed under the Delaware Business Trust Act, as amended,
pursuant to a declaration of trust and the filing of a certificate of trust with
the Secretary of State on November 20, 1996, which was subsequently amended by
an amended and restated declaration of trust dated as of December 11, 1996. The
Trust exists for the exclusive purposes of (i) issuing trust securities,
consisting of 7-3/4% Trust Originated Preferred Securities (the "TOPrS") and
trust common securities (the "Trust Common Securities"), representing undivided
beneficial ownership interests in the assets of the Trust, (ii) investing the
gross proceeds of the trust securities in 7-3/4% Partnership Preferred
Securities (the "Partnership Preferred Securities") issued by Merrill Lynch
Preferred Funding I, L.P. (the "Partnership"), and (iii) engaging in only those
other activities necessary or incidental thereto.
The Partnership is a limited partnership formed under the Delaware Revised
Uniform Limited Partnership Act, as amended, pursuant to an agreement of limited
partnership and the filing of a certificate of limited partnership with the
Secretary of State on November 20, 1996, which was subsequently amended by an
amended and restated agreement of limited partnership dated December 17, 1996.
Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. (the "Company") is the sole general partner of the
Partnership. The Partnership is managed by the general partner and exists for
the exclusive purposes of (i) issuing its partnership interests, consisting of
the Company's general partner interest and the Partnership Preferred Securities,
(ii) investing the proceeds thereof in certain eligible securities of the
Company and wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company (the "Affiliate Investment
Instruments") and certain eligible debt securities, and (iii) engaging in only
those other activities necessary or incidental thereto.
The Registrants' activities are limited to issuing securities and
investing the proceeds as described above. Since the Trust was organized on
November 20, 1996, its activities, as specified in its declaration of trust,
have been limited to the issuance of the TOPrS and the Trust Common Securities,
the investing of the proceeds in the Partnership Preferred Securities, and the
payment of distributions on the TOPrS and the Trust Common Securities in
accordance with their terms. Since the Partnership was organized on November 20,
1996, its activities, as specified in its agreement of limited partnership, have
been limited to the issuance of the Partnership Preferred Securities, the
receipt of a capital contribution from the Company, as general partner, the
investment of the proceeds in Affiliate Investment Instruments and certain
eligible debt securities, and the payment of distributions on the Partnership
Preferred Securities.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
On December 17, 1996, the Trust invested the gross proceeds from the sale
of the Trust Common Securities and the TOPrS in the Partnership Preferred
Securities (the "Trust Assets"). The Partnership, in turn, invested the proceeds
from the sale of the Partnership Preferred Securities and a capital contribution
from the Company in certain Affiliate Investment Instruments and eligible
securities (the "Partnership Assets"). To the extent the Partnership has funds
available from the Partnership Assets, the general partner of the Partnership
may declare distributions to the Trust, as holder of the Partnership Preferred
Securities. The Trust's ability to pay distributions to the holders of the TOPrS
is dependent on its receipt of distributions on the Trust Assets from the
Partnership. Therefore, upon the receipt by the Partnership of payments from the
Partnership Assets and the distribution thereof to the Trust, the Trust will
pass through such payments to the holders of the TOPrS.
