        Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (UNAUDITED)

                (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT WHERE INDICATED OTHERWISE)

                               September 30, 2000

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements include Credit Suisse First
Boston Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, Special Situations Holdings,
Inc. - Westbridge ("Westbridge") (together with Westbridge, "CSFB Corp.").
During 1999, Westbridge was established for the purpose of holding certain
investment securities. CSFB Corp. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Credit Suisse
First Boston, Inc. (the "Parent Company"), whose ultimate parent is Credit
Suisse Group. ("CSG"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions
have been eliminated.

Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
but is not required for interim reporting purposes has been condensed or
omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring
accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated
financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented.
The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
results for the entire year. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with CSFB Corp.'s Consolidated Financial Statements and notes
thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 1999, included as Exhibit
99.2 to the Credit Suisse First Boston (USA), Inc.'s Current Report on
Form 8-K dated November 3, 2000.

In 1988, First Boston Inc., the then parent of CSFB Corp., and CS Holding (now
CSG), formed CS First Boston, Inc. with CS Holding becoming a significant
shareholder. Subsequent purchases by CSG in 1990, 1994, and 1996 increased
ownership to 100%. Goodwill, which resulted from the excess of the purchase
price over the fair value of the acquired net assets at the dates of
acquisition, is being amortized over a 20-year life at a current annual rate of
approximately $26.5 million. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 54
issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, "Pushdown Basis of Accounting
in Financial Statements of Subsidiaries", and as a result of the Subsequent
Events discussed in Footnote 9, goodwill related to the purchases above was
pushed down from CSG to CSFB Corp.

To prepare condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles management must estimate certain
amounts that affect the reported assets and liabilities, disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities, and reported revenues and expenses. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

Certain reclassifications have been made to previously issued financial
statements to conform to the current presentation.

2.       INCOME TAXES

CSFB Corp. is included in a consolidated federal income tax return and combined
New York State and New York City income tax returns filed by the Parent Company.
The Parent Company allocates federal, state and city income taxes to its
subsidiaries on a separate return basis. Any credits for losses will be paid by
the Parent Company to the extent that such credits are for tax benefits that
have been utilized in the consolidated federal or combined state and city income
tax return. The amount due to the Parent Company amounted to $289,635 for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2000. The amount due from the Parent
Company based on the allocation of tax benefits amounted to $58,836 for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 1999.

 3.      BORROWINGS

Short-term borrowings are generally demand obligations with interest
approximating Federal fund rates. Such borrowings are generally used to
facilitate the securities settlement process, to finance securities inventories,
and to finance securities purchased by customers on margin.

At September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, CSFB Corp.'s outstanding
subordinated borrowings were as follows:

                                                                 2000             1999

     Due July 31, 2008                                            550,000           550,000
                                                              -----------       -----------

     Total subordinated borrowings                            $ 4,150,000       $ 4,150,000
                                                              ===========       ===========

</TABLE>



The above subordinated loan agreements are with the Parent Company. The
agreements are at floating interest rates and are equivalent to those obtained
by the Parent Company for its subordinated borrowings. The weighted average
effective interest rate at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 for these
borrowings was 7.02% and 6.45%, respectively. The fair value of these borrowings
approximates the amounts reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Financial Condition.

The borrowings under these agreements qualify as regulatory capital and the
agreements include all statutory restrictions specified by the Uniform Net
Capital Rule under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including restrictive
covenants relating to additional subordinated borrowings and to minimum levels
of net capital, as defined, and consolidated stockholder's equity.

For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, interest paid on
all borrowings and financing arrangements was $6,027,000 and $4,227,000,
respectively.

4.       NET CAPITAL

CSFB Corp. is subject to the requirements of several regulatory bodies,
including the Uniform Net Capital Rule under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the "Exchange Act"). As such, it is subject to the NYSE's net capital rule,
which conforms to the Uniform Net Capital Rule under rule 15c3-1 of the Exchange
Act. Under the alternative method permitted by this rule, the required net
capital may not be less than two percent of aggregate debit balances arising
from customer transactions or four percent of segregated funds, whichever is
greater. If a member firm's capital is less than four percent of aggregate debit
balances, the NYSE may require the firm to reduce its business. If a member
firm's net capital is less than five percent of aggregate debit balances, the
NYSE may prevent the firm from expanding its business and declaring cash
dividends. At September 30, 2000, CSFB Corp.'s net capital of $2,757,695 was
78.24 percent of aggregate debit balances and in excess of the minimum
requirement of $77,170 by $2,680,525.

5.       DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

CSFB Corp. enters into various transactions involving derivatives. In general,
derivatives are contractual agreements that derive their values from the
performance of underlying assets, interest or currency exchange rates, or a
variety of indices. CSFB Corp. enters into derivative transactions for trading
purposes or to provide products for its clients. These transactions involve
options, forwards, futures and swaps.

For further discussion of these matters, refer to Note 7 of CSFB Corp.'s
Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended December 31,
1999, included as Exhibit 99.2 to Credit Suisse First Boston (USA), Inc's
Current Report on Form 8-K dated November 3, 2000.

The notional or contract amounts indicate the extent of CSFB Corp.'s involvement
in the derivative instruments noted above. They do not measure CSFB Corp.'s
exposure to market or credit risk and do not represent the future cash
requirements of such contracts. The notional (contract) amounts for derivatives
outstanding at September 30, 2000 and December 31,1999 are as follows:

During 1999, CSFB Corp. purchased options on interest rate strips tied to U.S.
Treasury Bills. At December 31, 1999, the notional amount of the underlying U.S.
Treasury Bills represented $200,600,000 of the total purchased options and had a
market value of $200. These options expired unexercised on January 15, 2000.
