ITEM 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

         EBS Building, L.L.C. (the "Company") is a limited liability company
organized on September 26, 1997 under the Delaware Limited Liability Company
Act. The Company is governed by a Members Agreement, dated as of September 26,
1997 (the "Members Agreement"). The Company was formed in connection with the
reorganization proceedings (the "Chapter 11 Proceedings") of Edison Brothers
Stores, Inc. ("Edison") under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.
Pursuant to Edison's Chapter 11 plan of reorganization (the "Plan of
Reorganization"), Edison transferred title to its land and building at 501 North
Broadway in downtown St. Louis, Missouri, known as Corporate Headquarters
Building (the "Building"), to

trading market for the Class A Membership Units. This number may or may not

<PAGE>   3

the Company on September 26, 1997 in exchange for 10,000,000 Class B Membership
Units of the Company, which represented all of the outstanding Membership Units
of the Company. On December 12, 1997, in accordance with the Company's Members
Agreement and the Plan of Reorganization, Edison canceled 9,058,041 Class B
Membership Units and simultaneously issued 9,058,041 Class A Membership Units of
the Company to holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims (as defined in the
Plan of Reorganization). All outstanding Class B Units were to eventually be
canceled and an equivalent number of Class A Units issued to the holders of
Allowed General Unsecured Claims as required by the Members Agreement and the
Plan of Reorganization. As of December 31, 1998, all Class B Units held by
Edison were canceled and an equivalent number of Class A Units had been issued
to holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims.

         Pursuant to the Members Agreement, the Company is organized for the
exclusive purposes of acquiring, owning, managing, maintaining, repairing,
leasing, selling, hypothecating, mortgaging or otherwise dealing with the
Building, and for receiving, administering and distributing any disposition
proceeds relating thereto. It primarily derives income from the rental of office
space. The proceeds from the eventual sale of the Building will be distributed
along with any other Company assets to the appropriate holders of Membership
Units (the "Members") in accordance with the Members Agreement.

         The Members Agreement contemplates that the Company will sell the
Building by September 26, 2000, or if not by then, within the four year period
immediately following such date. Upon the sale of the Building, the Company will
distribute the sale proceeds to the Class A Members in accordance with the terms
of the Members Agreement. During 2000, the Company intends to continue actively
marketing the Building for sale.

         The business in which the Company is engaged is highly competitive, in
terms of both leasing available office space and potentially selling the
Building. The Building is located in downtown St. Louis and is subject to
leasing competition from other similar types of properties in downtown St. Louis
and throughout the St. Louis area. The Company competes for tenants for the
Building with numerous other individuals and entities engaged in real estate
leasing activities. Such competition is based on such factors as location, rent
schedules and services and amenities provided. In addition to leasing
competition, there is competition in the Company's business of disposing of the
Building considering the competition in the institutional real estate market for
attractive real estate investment properties.

         The Building is considered Class A property for real estate investment
purposes. According to Insignia ESG, Inc., the vacancy rate in downtown St.
Louis for Class A properties was 10.5% as of December 1999. Market concerns
include both actual and potential departures of major St. Louis companies and/or
divisions of such companies.

         The Company has no employees. The operations of the Company are the
responsibility of the Manager. (See Item 9 below).


<PAGE>   4

         The Company entered into a commercial property management and leasing
agreement, effective January 1, 1998, (the "Insignia Agreement") with Insignia
Commercial Group, Inc. (the "Property Manager"). The Insignia Agreement granted
the Property Manager the exclusive right to lease office space located within
the Building commencing January 1, 1998. The Property Manager receives certain
commissions for its leasing work, which commissions range from 1.5% to 5% of
gross rentals, depending on the presence or absence of certain variables. The
Insignia Agreement also engaged the Property Manager to manage and operate the
Building commencing on February 1, 1998 in consideration of certain management
fees. Additionally, the Property Manager receives a construction management fee
with respect to non-routine capital improvements in the Building. The Company
reimburses the Property Manager for its on-site employee salaries, bonuses and
benefits and its out of pocket costs incurred in connection with its services.
The Property Manager is also provided with free rental of furnished office space
in the Building. In fiscal 1999, the Property Manager earned $409,604 in fees,
commissions and expense reimbursements.


         The Company, through its Property Manager, utilizes computer software
for its corporate and real property accounting records and to prepare its
financial statements, as well as for internal accounting purposes. The principal
accounting system software has been updated and is now Year 2000 compliant. The
cost of such updates and testing was borne by the Property Manager. In addition,
a new operating system for the Building Management System ("BMS") was installed
in late August 1999 at a cost of $51,441. This system controls the fire system,
security, HVAC and lighting for the Building. As of January 1, 2000 all major
building systems continued operating normally. The Company has not endeavored to
determine whether or not its tenants experienced any Year 2000 compliance
problems, however, no delays in rent payments or other difficulties have
occurred to date as a result of a failure of its tenant's (or their financial
service providers') computer systems.

         The Company files annual and periodic reports with the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC"). You may read and copy any materials filed by the
Company with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street,
N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549. You may obtain information on the operation of the
Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC also
maintains an Internet site (http://www.sec.gov) which contains reports, proxy
and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file
electronically with the SEC.

ITEM 2.  DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.

         The Building is a twelve-floor office building with 434,136 square feet
of rentable space, which square footage includes 9,393 square feet of meeting
rooms and 13,008 square feet of mezzanine space, and which also has a
subterranean parking garage containing 159 parking spaces. The Building is
located at 501 N. Broadway, St. Louis, Missouri. The Building was





<PAGE>   5

formerly the headquarters building of Edison and was deeded to the Company by
quit claim deed on September 26, 1997. The Building was built in 1985.

         The Company does not own any real estate other than the Building, and
will not otherwise invest in interests in real estate or real estate mortgages.
The Building is the only property in which the Company has an interest.

         The Company believes that the Building is adequately insured. Liberty
Mutual Insurance Co., Greenwich Ins. Co., Lexington Insurance Company, GRE
Insurance Company and Continental Casualty Ins. Co. provide property insurance
for the Building.

         There is only one tenant leasing greater than 10% of the rentable space
in the Building. The lease of such tenant is described below:

         On September 30, 1998, the Company entered into a twelve-year lease
with Stifel Financial Corp. and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated
("Stifel") for 91,763 square feet of rentable office space, or approximately 21%
of total rentable space. An amendment to the Stifel lease was entered into on
December 17, 1999 and called for the rental of an additional 500 square feet of
storage space. The Stifel lease, which commenced on February 1, 1999, provides
annual rent ranging from $1,376,445 to $1,697,616 and expires in April 2011 with
two options to renew for five year renewal terms at then prevailing market
rental rates. Pursuant to the Stifel lease, the name of the Building has changed
to "One Financial Plaza". In addition, the Company incurred lease commission
costs of approximately $768,930 and tenant improvement costs of approximately
$2,555,855 in connection with the Stifel lease. Such costs have been capitalized
and will be amortized over the term of the Stifel lease.

         On March 9, 1999, Edison, together with seven of its affiliates, filed
for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy court in Delaware. At that
time, Edison was the Building's largest tenant, occupying approximately 48% of
the total rentable space. In November, 1999, the Company negotiated a consensual
reduction of space under Edison's lease and an accelerated termination date for
the remaining space. The ultimate effects of the bankruptcy on the financial
condition and results of operations are not known at this time. See,
Management's Discussion and Analysis, below.

         As of December 31, 1999, the annual average rental rate of all tenants
is $15.80 per square foot. Due to Edison's surrender of space, as of January 1,
2000 the annual average rental rate of all tenants is $15.74 per square foot.
The Building's total occupancy as of December 31, 1999 was 49%. The Building's
total occupancy as of January 1, 2000 was 47%.

         The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the
leases in the Building as of December 31, 1999:

</TABLE>

(1)  Effective January 1, 2000, the three leases expiring in the year 2000
     represent 37,753 square feet of rental space and $548,049 in annualized
     rental revenue due to Edison's surrender of 10,187 square feet.

         During June 1999, the Company entered into a $12,000,000 revolving line
of credit with FinPro, L.L.C. to cover any shortfalls in cash flows (the "Line
of Credit"). The balance outstanding under the Line of Credit as of December 31,
1999 was $6,833,512. Subsequent to the end of the fiscal year, the Company drew
an additional $58,171 on the Line of Credit to fund tenant improvements. Future
advances under the Line of Credit are available to pay future tenant improvement
costs, operating deficits and accrued interest on the Line of Credit. Management
believes that funds from operations and the Company's present availability under
its revolving line of credit provide sufficient resources to meet the Company's
present and anticipated financing needs.

         The net federal tax basis of the Building approximates $15,265,424
(gross cost of $20,000,000 less accumulated depreciation of $4,734,576).
Included in the net federal tax basis is land cost of $1,222,815. The
depreciation allowance is calculated using the federal method of depreciation
and recovery periods applicable for the year the assets were placed into
service.

         Real estate taxes for the Building for calendar year 1999 were
$373,880.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

         The Company is not a party to any material pending legal proceedings.
The Company is not aware of any legal proceeding against the Company being
contemplated by any governmental authority.

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

         No matters have been submitted to a vote of the Class A Members during
the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.

                                     PART II
<PAGE>   7


ITEM 5.  MARKET PRICE FOR COMMON EQUITY AND OTHER SHAREHOLDER MATTERS.

         As of March 27, 1999, there were approximately 2,055 record holders of
Class A Units and no holders of Class B Units of the Company. The Company is not
aware of any price quotations for the Class A Units.

         The Company has not declared or paid any cash distributions on any of
its Class A Units during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999. The Members
Agreement provides that the Manager will distribute the net profits of the
Company to the Class A Members in proportion to their respective Class A
Sharing Percentages (as defined in the Members Agreement), subject to the
payment of taxes, expenses, advisors fees, tax distributions to Edison, and
payment of outstanding loans. In addition, all distributions are subject to a
determination by the Manager that the Company will have sufficient reserves to
meet its current and anticipated needs to fulfill its business purpose.

         All of the Class B Units have been exchanged by Edison for Class A
Units, and such Class A Units have been distributed by Edison to the holders of
Allowed General Unsecured Claims of Edison in accordance with the provisions of
the Member's Agreement.

         All Class A Units are freely tradable by persons other than
"affiliates" of the Company without restriction under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Class A Units held by affiliates
may not be sold unless registered under the Securities Act or unless an
exemption from registration, such as Rule 144, is available. In general, under
Rule 144 each affiliate may sell within any period of three months a number of
Class A Units equal to the greater of 1% of the then outstanding Class A Units
and the average weekly trading volume of Class A Units reported through the
automated quotation system of a registered securities association during the
four calendar weeks preceding the sale. The Company does not know whether any
sales of Class A Units will be so reported. Sales under Rule 144 are also
subject to certain restrictions relating to manner of sale, notice and the
availability of current public information about the Company.

ITEM 6.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.

         It should be noted that this Annual Report contains forward-looking
information (as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995)
that involves risk and uncertainty, including trends in the real estate
investment market, projected leasing and sales, and the future prospects for the
Company. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by such
statements.

         During the forthcoming twelve months of operations, the Company intends
to continue owning, managing, maintaining, repairing, leasing, selling,
hypothecating, mortgaging or otherwise dealing with the building located at 501
North Broadway, St. Louis, Missouri (the "Building"). Further, the Company
intends to continue actively marketing the Building for sale




<PAGE>   8

during the forthcoming twelve months as well as to continue to secure additional
tenant leasing agreements.

         On March 9, 1999, Edison Brothers Stores, Inc. ("Edison"), the
Building's largest tenant, filed, together with seven of its affiliates, for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy court in Delaware. In November
1999, the Company negotiated a consensual reduction of space under Edison's
lease and an accelerated termination date for the remaining space. Effective
January 1, 2000, Edison's rentable square footage was reduced to 18,587 square
feet or approximately 4% of total office space. Edison's rental square footage
as of December 31, 1998 was 206,450 square feet or approximately 48% of total
office space. Effective December 1, 1999, the rental rate for Edison's space
increased from $9 to $17 per square foot. This consensual reduction provides
greater certainty associated with the Edison lease and the Company's ability to
market the Building for sale. As of the date of this filing, the Company had an
unsecured claim against Edison in an amount equal to $28,344, which represents
pre-petition rent and parking fees.

         During 1999, the Company commenced a twelve-year lease with Stifel
Financial Corp. and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated ("Stifel") for
92,263 square feet of rentable office space, or approximately 21% of total
rentable space. This new leasing agreement as well as the reduction in space
occupied by Edison resulted in a total occupancy rate of 49%, as of December 31,
1999, versus an occupancy rate of 64% as of December 31, 1998.

         During the twelve months ended December 31, 1999, the Company's rental
income increased by 37% over the prior year, from $3.3 million during 1998 to
$4.4 million during 1999. Such increase was attributed to the commencement of
certain new leases, including the Stifel lease and a lease with Baird, Kurtz and
Dobson entered into during May 1999. The Company's total expenses also increased
by 24% over the prior year. These expenses included $1,616,042 in depreciation
costs as compared to $655,782 incurred during the prior year. Such increase in
cost is related to the additional tenant improvements and commission costs
associated with new tenant leases. Further the Company incurred greater
financing costs during the current fiscal year than in the prior year in order
to finance such tenant improvements and lease commissions.

         During June 1999, the Company entered into a $12,000,000 revolving line
of credit with FinPro, L.L.C. to cover any shortfalls in cash flows (the "Line
of Credit"). The balance outstanding under the Line of Credit as of December 31,
1999 was $6,833,512. Such funds were primarily used to finance tenant
improvement and commission payments. Management believes that funds from
operations and the Company's present availability under its revolving line of
credit provide sufficient resources to meet the Company's present and
anticipated financing needs.

         The financial statements of the Company are submitted as a separate

ITEM 8.  CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
         FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

         There have been no changes in the Company's independent public
accountants since the formation of the Company, and no disagreements with such
accountants on any matter of accounting principles, practices or financial
statement disclosure.

                                    PART III

ITEM 9.  DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS;
         COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT.

         PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (the "Manager") has served as the Manager of
the Company since its inception. In accordance with the terms of Article III of
the Members Agreement, the Manager of the Company is responsible for all aspects
of the Company's operations, subject to the requirement that the Manager obtain
the approval of either the holders of a majority of the Class A Units (the
"Requisite Holders") or the Designation Members (as defined below) before taking
certain actions, which actions are specified in Section 3.5.2 of the Members
Agreement. The Manager will serve as the Manager of the Company until its
resignation or removal in accordance with Section 3.8 of the Members Agreement.

         The Members Agreement defines "Designation Members" as "the three
[M]embers who, as of the date that any action is to be taken [under the Members
Agreement] by the Designation Members, hold at least 5% of the total Class A

for such purpose; (ii) no [p]erson who is an affiliate of Edison may be a
Designation Member, and (iii) any person who notifies the Company that such

         As of December 31, 1999, the Manager believes that the following

         The Designation Members or Requisite Holders have the power to remove
the Manager of the Company with or without cause. In addition, the Designation
Members have the power to call meetings of Members. Further, the approval of
either the Designation Members or the Requisite Holders is required prior to the
Manager (i) adopting any annual budget for the Company, (ii) entering into any
lease agreement for more than 20,000 square feet and (iii) making or committing
to make an expenditure in an aggregate amount exceeding $1,000,000 for additions
to the Company's property, plant or equipment. The approval of the Designation
Members or the Requisite Holders is also required before the Manager causes the
Company to enter into any contract for sale of the Building.

         As indicated above, the Manager of the Company is
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, 800 Market Street, St. Louis, Missouri 63101-2695.
Keith F. Cooper, a partner of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, is the primary contact
for the Manager with respect to the Company.

         The background and experience of Keith F. Cooper are as follows:

         Keith F. Cooper is a Certified Public Accountant and a Partner of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. He has been with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and its
predecessors for seventeen (17) years. He has provided extensive services to
debtors and creditors in reorganization and bankruptcy related matters, both
in-court and out-of-court. These services have included providing operational
and financial due diligence services, appointment as the Receiver in connection
with foreclosure actions and assistance in the liquidation of several companies.
He has also provided turnaround and crisis management services to
underperforming companies in a number of industries. These services involve the
development and implementation of measures to improve the operations and
financial condition of these companies. In this role, Mr. Cooper has served in
the capacity of interim management in the Chief Executive and Chief Operating
Officer roles in both public and private companies. In addition, he has also
provided extensive services to businesses and law firms in the resolution of
disputes including consulting and testimony on economic, financial and forensic
accounting issues.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance:

         Except as set forth below, to the best knowledge of the Company, all
reports required to be filed under Section 16 by any officer, director,
beneficial owner of more than 10% of any class of securities registered pursuant
to Section 12 of the Exchange Act or any other person subject to the reporting
requirements of Section 16 have been timely filed with the Commission:  To
the best knowledge of the Company, Swiss Bank Corporation has not filed any
Section 16(a) filings.


ITEM 10. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

<PAGE>   11

         The Company does not have a Board of Directors or any corporate
officers. The Designation Members are not compensated by the Company in
connection with their service as Designation Members. The Manager is compensated
based upon the actual hours devoted to Company business by each staff member of
the Manager multiplied by the hourly billing rates of each such staff member.
The Manager was paid $122,540 for fees and expenses incurred in connection with
its services as Manager for fiscal year 1999 as well as tax consulting services
and preparation of the Company's annual and periodic reports. In addition, as of
December 31, 1999, the Company owed the Manager $20,128 for unpaid fees and
expenses incurred during 1999.

ITEM 11. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT.

         The Manager is not the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of any
Class A Units or of any of the Class B Units. As of December 31, 1999, all of
the issued and outstanding Class B Units had been canceled in accordance with
the terms of the Members Agreement and, therefore, Edison no longer holds any
Class B Units. As of December 31, 1999, the following entities were the
beneficial owners of greater than 5% of the Class A Units.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


Members
EBS Building, L.L.C.
St. Louis, Missouri


We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of EBS Building, L.L.C., a
Delaware limited liability company, as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the
related statements of operations, changes in members' equity and cash flows for
the years then ended. 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 generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 financial position of EBS Building, L.L.C. as of
December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

1.       DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

         EBS Building, L.L.C. (the "Company") is a limited liability company
         organized on September 26, 1997 under the Delaware Limited Liability
         Company Act. The Company is governed by a Members Agreement, dated as
         of September 26, 1997 (the "Members Agreement"). The Company was formed
         in connection with the reorganization proceedings of Edison Brothers
         Stores, Inc. ("Edison") under Chapter 11 of the United States
         Bankruptcy Code. Pursuant to Edison's Chapter 11 plan of reorganization
         (the "Plan of Reorganization"), Edison transferred title to its land
         and building at 501 North Broadway in downtown St. Louis, Missouri (the
         "Building") to the Company on September 26, 1997 as a part of the
         overall distribution to holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims
         against Edison (as defined in the Plan of Reorganization), who received
         Membership Units in the Company (as more fully described in Note 5).

         Pursuant to the Members Agreement, the Company is organized for the
         exclusive purposes of acquiring, owning, managing, maintaining,
         repairing, leasing, selling, hypothecating, mortgaging or otherwise
         dealing with the Building, and for receiving, administering and
         distributing any disposition proceeds relating thereto. It primarily
         derives income from the rental of office space. The proceeds from the
         eventual sale of the Building will be distributed along with any other
         Company assets to the appropriate holders of Membership Units (the
         "Members") in accordance with the Members Agreement.


2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist
         in evaluating the Company's financial statements. These principles
         conform to generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of
         financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
         principles requires that management make estimates and assumptions
         which impact the reported amounts of 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.

         over the term of the tenant's lease.

         Lease commissions and lease restructuring costs are capitalized and
         amortized over the term of the related lease.

         LOAN COSTS

         Loan costs in connection with building financing, including loan
         commitment fee, legal fees and closing costs have been capitalized and
         are amortized over the term of the loan.

         The weighted average units outstanding - primary was calculated on a
         daily outstanding unit basis. The units outstanding - diluted for
         December 31, 1998 was calculated assuming that all of the Class B units
         issued and outstanding would eventually be converted into an equal
         number of Class A units. All Class B units have been converted into an
         equal number of Class A units as of December 31, 1999.


7.       RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

         One of Edison's six board members is an employee of a Member of the
         Company.

         Edison reduced their lease space to 28,774 square feet on December 1,
         1999 and effective January 1, 2000 they reduced their leased space to
         18,587 square feet. Effective April 1, 2000, the lease converts to a
         month-to-month tenancy, whereby Edison may terminate the lease by
         giving thirty (30) days prior written notice of such termination. In no
         event will this month-to-month tenancy extend beyond June 30, 2000.
