                 LEGG MASON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
         NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     (in thousands of dollars)
                         June 30, 2000
                          (Unaudited)

1. Interim Basis of Reporting:

 The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements of Legg Mason, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the
"Company") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information.  The interim
financial statements have been prepared utilizing the accrual basis of
accounting and, as such, reflect all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods
presented.  The nature of the Company's business is such that the
results of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the
results for a full year.

 The information contained in the interim financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the Company's latest Annual Report on
Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The
financial statements have been restated for the acquisition on a pooling
of interests basis of Perigee Inc. ("Perigee") on May 26, 2000.  Where
appropriate, prior years' financial statements have been reclassified to
conform with the current year's presentation.

2. Net Capital Requirements:

 The Company's broker-dealer subsidiaries are subject to the
Securities and Exchange Commission's Uniform Net Capital Rule.  The Rule
provides that equity capital may not be withdrawn or cash dividends paid
if resulting net capital would fall below specified levels.  As of June
30, 2000, the broker-dealer subsidiaries had aggregate net capital, as
defined, of $243,831 which exceeded required net capital by $215,855.

3. Legal Proceedings:

 The Company has been named as a defendant in various legal actions
arising primarily from securities and investment banking activities,
including certain class actions which primarily allege violations of
securities laws and seek unspecified damages which could be substantial,
and has been involved in certain governmental and self regulatory agency
investigations and proceedings.  While the ultimate resolution of these
matters cannot be currently determined, in the opinion of management,
after consultation with legal counsel, the matters will be resolved with
no material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements of
the Company.  However, if during any period a potential adverse
contingency should become probable, the results of operations in that
period could be materially affected.

4. Recent Accounting Development:

 In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and

<PAGE> 7

Hedging Activities."  Statement No. 133 establishes standards for
accounting and reporting for derivative instruments and hedging
activities.  In June 1999, the FASB issued Statement No. 137,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral
of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133" which delayed the
effective date for all fiscal quarters for fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 2000.  The impact of adopting Statement No. 133 is not expected
to be material to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

5. Acquisitions

 On May 26, 2000 the Company completed the acquisition of Perigee,
one of Canada's leading institutional investment managers.  Under the
terms of the agreement, each outstanding share of Perigee was exchanged
for 0.387 of an exchangeable share of Legg Mason Canada Holdings, a
subsidiary of the Company.  These exchangeable shares are the economic
equivalent of common shares of the Company and may be exchanged for
those shares on a one-for-one basis at any time.  The Company issued
approximately 5.2 million exchangeable shares in this transaction.  The
acquisition was accounted for as a pooling of interests and,
accordingly, all prior period consolidated financial statements have
been restated to include the combined results of operations, financial
position and cash flows of Perigee.

 Prior to the acquisition, Perigee's fiscal year-end was December
31.  In recording the business combination, Perigee's prior period
financial statements have been restated to conform to the Company's
fiscal year-end.  The change in year-end resulted in an adjustment of
($0.4) million, which is included in retained earnings, and represents
Perigee's results of operations and dividend for the three months ended
March 31, 2000. In addition, the Company incurred approximately $3.9
million in acquisition costs, of which $2.0 million was incurred in the
three months ended June 30, 2000.

 Adjustments were made to conform accounting practices of Perigee to
accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. with respect to
business combinations which occurred in 1996 and 1998.  The result of
the adjustments was to establish intangible assets for the excess of the
purchase price over the tangible net assets of the businesses acquired
by Perigee, which are being amortized over 15 years from the date of
each acquisition.  The restated net earnings for June 30, 1999 presented
below includes amortization expense of $0.3 million.

 Net revenue and net earnings of the Company and Perigee for the
three months ended June 30, 1999 were as follows:

 Additionally, during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000, the
Company acquired LeggMason Investors Holdings PLC ("LeggMason
Investors") (formerly Johnson Fry Holdings PLC) and Berkshire Asset
Management, Inc. ("Berkshire").  The following unaudited pro forma
consolidated results are presented as though the acquisitions of
LeggMason Investors and Berkshire had occurred as of the beginning of
the three month period ended June 30, 1999, adjusted for amortization of
the excess of cost over the net tangible assets acquired.

    Earnings per share:

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations
and Financial Condition

Legg Mason, Inc. and its subsidiaries' (the "Company") profitability may
vary significantly from period to period as a result of a variety of
factors, including the volume of trading in securities, the volatility
and general level of securities' prices, and the demand for investment
banking and mortgage banking services.  Accordingly, sustained periods
of unfavorable market conditions may adversely affect profitability.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

During the first fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2000, the Company
reported growth in net revenues, net earnings and earnings per share
from the corresponding quarter in fiscal 1999.  The increase in net
revenues and net earnings was primarily the result of growth in fee-
based revenues from asset management activities, securities brokerage
activities and net interest profit.  On May 26, 2000, the Company
acquired Perigee Inc., a Canadian money manager, in a transaction
accounted for as a pooling of interests. As required by pooling of
interests accounting, the consolidated financial statements have been
restated to include the results of operations of Perigee for all periods
presented.

Quarter Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Quarter Ended June 30, 1999

Revenues:

In the quarter, net revenues increased 17% to $343.1 million from $293.7
million in the corresponding quarter of the prior year.

Investment advisory and related fees increased to $157.5 million, up 21%
from the June 1999 quarter as a result of growth in Company-sponsored
mutual funds, fee-based brokerage accounts  and fixed income investment
advisory accounts.  In addition, the June 2000 quarter includes the
addition of revenues ($5.7 million) from LeggMason Investors (formerly
Johnson Fry), acquired in December 1999.  Legg Mason subsidiaries served
as investment advisors to individual and institutional accounts and
mutual funds with an asset value of $126.6 billion, up 36% from $93.4
billion a year ago (excluding assets of approximately $13.4 billion
managed by Perigee) and from $111.8 billion or 13% from March 31, 2000.
The increase since March 31, 2000 was predominantly as a result of the
acquisition of Perigee, whose assets under management aggregate $14.3
billion.

Commission revenues of $91.6 million increased 11% from $82.5 million in
the prior year's quarter, primarily due to increased sales of non-
affiliated mutual funds and variable annuities.

Revenues from principal transactions rose 18% to $33.5 million,
principally as a result of an increase in sales of over-the-counter and
fixed income securities.

Investment banking revenues were $22.4 million, up 1% from $22.1 million
in the prior year's quarter, primarily as a result of increased merger

<PAGE> 11

and advisory activities, offset in part by a decline in public offerings
of equity securities.

Other revenues declined 6% to $11.1 million from the June 1999 quarter,
primarily due to a gain on the sale of a merchant banking investment
recognized last year.  Excluding the gain, other revenues increased 35%
as a result of the addition of earnings from two joint ventures
commenced in fiscal 2000.

Expenses:

Compensation and benefits increased 12% to $199.9 million, from $177.7
million in the prior year's quarter, reflecting higher profitability-
based and sales-based compensation on increased revenues, as well as
higher fixed compensation costs primarily attributable to an increased
number of employees.  In addition, the June 2000 quarter includes the
addition of expenses of LeggMason Investors.

Occupancy and equipment rental increased 15% to $22.1 million, from
$19.2 million in the prior year as a result of increased rent at new and
existing branch office locations and increased investments in
technology.

Communications expense rose 17% to $14.9 million as a result of an
increase in business activity and branch office locations, which gave
rise to increased costs for quote services, postage and telephone usage.

Floor brokerage and clearing fees increased 6% to $2.1 million,
reflecting an increase in securities transaction volume.

Other expenses increased 51% to $35.1 million, principally as a result
of the addition of expenses of LeggMason Investors, Perigee acquisition
costs and payments to third party distributors.

Interest:

Interest revenue increased 51% to $70.7 million, from $46.7 million in
the prior year's quarter because of higher interest rates earned on
larger customer margin account and conduit stock loan balances.  In
addition, interest revenue increased as a result of the addition of
revenues from LeggMason Investors.  LeggMason Investors has two wholly
owned finance subsidiaries.  The purpose of these finance subsidiaries
is to raise funds by issuing secured fixed-rate loan securities and to
use the proceeds to invest in a portfolio of bonds issued by various
financial institutions, which are generally not available to the public
in tranches small enough for the retail investor.

Interest expense increased 58% to $43.7 million as a result of increased
interest rates on larger customer credit account and conduit stock loan
balances.  In addition, interest expense increased as a result of the
addition of expenses of the LeggMason Investors finance subsidiaries
described above.

Income tax provision:

The provision for income taxes rose 18% to $28.6 million, from $24.3
million as a result of the increase in pre-tax earnings.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

There has been no material change in the Company's financial position
since March 31, 2000.  A substantial part of the Company's assets is
liquid, consisting mainly of cash and assets readily convertible into
cash.  These assets are financed primarily by free credit balances,
equity capital, senior notes, bank lines of credit and other payables.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2000, the Company arranged a new
three-year, committed, unsecured $100 million credit facility, which
replaced a similar $50 million facility which expired in June.  The
facility has restrictive covenants that require the Company, among other
things, to maintain specified levels of net worth and debt-to-equity
ratios.  The Company intends to use the facility for general corporate
purposes including the expansion and diversification of its business.
There were no borrowings outstanding under the facility at June 30,
2000.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2000, cash and cash equivalents
increased $73.6 million.  Cash flows from operating activities provided
$125.8 million, due to lower levels of cash and securities segregated
for regulatory purposes, net earnings adjusted for depreciation and
amortization, and decreased levels of proprietary securities
inventories, partially offset by a decrease in net customer payables.
Cash flows from financing activities provided $75.3 million as a result
of increased levels of short-term borrowings by the Company's mortgage
banking affiliate.  Investing activities used $126.9 million, primarily
as a result of increases of securities purchased under agreements to
resell.
