NB CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 1999
(unaudited)
(in U.S. dollars)
1) Incorporation and nature of operations
NB Capital Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of
Maryland on August 20, 1997. The Company's principal business is to
acquire, hold, finance and manage mortgage assets. The Company issued,
through an Offering Circular dated August 22, 1997, $300 million of
preferred stock and simultaneously, National Bank of Canada, the parent
company, made a capital contribution in the amount of $183 million. The
Company used the aggregate net of proceeds of $477 million to acquire
promissory notes of NB Finance, Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of National
Bank of Canada.
2) Significant accounting policies
Financial statements
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America and are
expressed in U.S. dollars.
Income taxes
The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust
("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and
accordingly, is generally not liable for United States federal income tax
to the extent that it distributes at least 95% of its taxable income to its
stockholders, maintains its qualification as a REIT and complies with
certain other requirements.
Per share data
Basic earnings per share with respect to the Company for the three-month
periods ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 are computed based upon the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period. In February
1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issues Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 128 "Earnings Per Share". This
pronouncement specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure
requirements for earnings per share. The Company has no outstanding
securities which are dilutive under this pronouncement.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.

(in U.S. dollars)
3) Promissory notes
The Company entered into loan agreements evidenced by promissory notes with
NB Finance, Ltd., an affiliated company. The promissory notes are
collateralized only by mortgage loans which are secured by residential
first mortgages and insured by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation.
The promissory notes have maturities ranging from June 1999 to December
2001, at rates ranging from 6.90% to 9.77%, with a weighted average rate of
approximately 8.37% per annum.
These rates approximate market interest rates for loans of similar credit
and maturity provisions and, accordingly, management believes that the
carrying value of the promissory notes receivable approximates their fair
value.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company's principal business objective is to acquire, hold, finance and
manage assets consisting of obligations secured by real property as well as
other qualifying REIT assets ("Mortgage Assets"). The Company has elected to be
taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and,
accordingly, is generally not liable for United States federal income tax to the
extent that it distributes at least 95% of its taxable income, subject to
certain adjustments, to its stockholders.
Results of operations:
For the three-month periods ended March 31, 1999 and March 31, 1998, the Company
reported net income of $9,091,293 and $9,444,371, respectively. Revenues, which
were comprised entirely of interest income, were $9,425,859 and $9,920,035,
respectively, and expenses were $334,566 and $475,664, respectively. Since the
Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT, no income tax was recorded during the
period.
Ninety-eight percent of revenues for the three-month period ended March 31, 1999
and ninety-five percent of revenues for the three-month period ended March 31,
1998 were derived from the Mortgage Assets issued by NB Finance, Ltd., an
affiliated company ("NB Finance"). The Mortgage Assets issued by NB Finance are
collateralized by the "Mortgage Loans" that consist of eighteen pools of
residential first mortgages insured by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation
and which are secured by real property located in Canada. The balance of the
revenues result from interest on bank deposits.
Expenses for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, totaled
$334,566 and $475,664, respectively, of which $326,130 and $411,465,
respectively, represent servicing and advisory fees paid to National Bank of
Canada, the Company's direct parent (the "Bank") pursuant to the Servicing
Agreement between the Bank and the Company (the "Servicing Agreement") and the
Advisory Agreement between the Bank and the Company (the "Advisory Agreement"),
whereby the Bank performs all necessary operations in connection with
administering the Mortgage Assets issued by NB Finance and the Mortgage Loans.
Legal and other professional fees include payment to the transfer agent and
external accounting fees.
During the three-month period ended March 31, 1999, the Board of Directors of
the Company authorized dividends of, in the aggregate, $6,269,620 ($6,273,721
for the three-month period ended March 31, 1998) on Preferred Stock (i.e.,
Adjustable Rate Cumulative Senior Preferred Shares (the "Senior Preferred
Shares") and 8.35% Noncumulative Exchangeable Preferred Stock, Series A (the
"Series A Preferred Shares") and, accordingly, the Depositary Shares).
Such dividends were paid on March 30, 1999.
- 8 -
<PAGE>
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
Capital Resources and Liquidity:
The Company's revenues are derived from its Mortgage Assets. As of March 31,
1999, US$432 million of Mortgage Assets issued by NB Finance were
over-collateralized by the C$760 million ($504 million) of Mortgage Loans. The
Company believes that the amounts generated from the payment of interest and
principal on such Mortgage Loans will provide more than sufficient funds to make
full payments with respect to the Mortgage Assets issued by NB Finance and that
such payments will provide the Company with sufficient funds to meet its
operating expenses and to pay quarterly dividends on the Senior Preferred Shares
and the Series A Preferred Shares and, accordingly, the Depositary Shares. To
the extent that the cash flow from its Mortgage Assets exceeds those amounts,
the Company will use the excess to fund the acquisition of additional Mortgage
Assets and make distributions on the Common Stock.
The Company does not require any capital resources for its operations and,
therefore, it is not expected to acquire any capital assets in the foreseeable
future.
As at March 31, 1999, the Company had cash resources of $42,351,814 which
represent 8.7% of total assets compared to $22,178,668 or 4.6% of total assets
as at December 31, 1998. The increase in liquidity is attributable to cash
received in repayment of Mortgage Assets. It is expected that the Company will
invest in additional Mortgage Assets when cash resources reach 10% of total
assets. While this continues to be the Company's investment policy, the Company
maintains flexibility in this regard. The liquidity level is sufficient for the
Company to pay fees and expenses pursuant to the Servicing Agreement and the
Advisory Agreement.
The Company's principal short-term and long-term liquidity needs are to pay
quarterly dividends on the Senior Preferred Shares and the Series A Preferred
Shares and, accordingly, the Depositary Shares, to pay fees and expenses of the
Bank pursuant to the Servicing Agreement and the Advisory Agreement, and to pay
franchise fees and expenses of advisors, if any, to the Company.
The Company does not have any indebtedness (current or long-term), other
material capital expenditures, balloon payments or other payments due on other
long-term obligations. No negative covenants have been imposed on the Company.
Year 2000
The Company does not believe that it has a material problem resulting from the
inability of computer programs to properly recognize a year that begins with
"20" instead of "19". Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Bank administers
the day-to-day activities of the Company. Pursuant to the Servicing Agreement,
the Bank services the Mortgage Loans and performs all necessary operations in
connection with such servicing. The Company does not independently maintain
either information technology or non-information technology systems.
Accordingly, the Company does not believe that it has or will have a material
Year 2000 issue.
- 9 -
<PAGE>
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
The Bank has formulated a detailed plan to address the Year 2000 issue. As at
January 31, 1999, all of the scheduled Year 2000 preparations have been carried
out as scheduled. Over 90% of the Bank's major systems have been certified Year
2000 compliant. Steps have been taken to request assurances from the Bank's main
suppliers that systems are Year 2000 compliant. Special programs have been
introduced to ensure that commercial clients work to minimize their risks in the
transition to the Year 2000. In addition, the Bank is preparing a contingency
plan providing for the implementation of backup systems and operating
procedures.
Projected costs of $40 million will be charged to income as they are incurred.
As of December 31, 1998, the total costs of this project were $21.8 million.
In the opinion of management of the Bank, the Bank has adopted measures which
serve to minimize the uncertainty and risk associated with the transition to the
Year 2000. Its approach of keeping its commercial clients informed and following
up with them allows the Bank to believe that neither the credit risk of its
portfolio nor its results will be materially affected by the arrival of the Year
2000. However, management of the Bank cannot be certain that the transition to
the Year 2000 will not cause any inconvenience, particularly in light of factors
that are beyond its control and which depend on the diligence of clients,
suppliers and other parties.
Pursuant to an order of The Office of the Superintendent of Financial
Institutions Canada, NB Finance is prohibited from engaging in any business
activities other than the ownership of the Mortgage Loans and activities
incidental thereto. Pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Assignment, NB Finance
assigned its entire right, title and interest in, to and under the Mortgage
Loans to the Company and permits the Company to administer, perform and enforce
the Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, the Mortgage Loans are
serviced by the Bank. NB Finance does not independently maintain either
information technology or non-information technology systems. Accordingly, the
Company does not believe that NB Finance has or will have a material Year 2000
issue.
The Company maintains relationships with other third party service providers;
however, the Company does not consider the services received therefrom to be
material to its operations.
At this time, the Company believes that its most reasonably likely worst case
Year 2000 scenario would be a delay by NB Finance in making payments of
principal and interest to the Company when due, causing the Company to be unable
to meet its short-term liquidity needs. Although the Company believes that it is
unlikely that such scenario would occur, it has developed a contingency plan
pursuant to which it would obtain a cash advance from NB Finance, in an amount
approximating previous payments of principal and interest, in time to meet its
short-term liquidity requirements. Accordingly, at this time, the Company does
not believe that it would experience a material adverse effect as a result of
the occurrence of the most reasonably likely worst case Year 2000 scenario.
