                        NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                        (UNAUDITED)


1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the 
      accounts of The Bear Stearns Companies Inc. and its subsidiaries (the 
      "Company") and have been prepared pursuant to the Securities and Exchange 
      Commission's rules and regulations. The consolidated financial statements 
      reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are normal 
      and recurring and are necessary for a fair statement of the results for 
      the interim periods presented.  All material intercompany balances and   
      transactions have been eliminated.  The nature of the company's business
      is such that the results of any interim period may not be indicative of 
      the results to be expected for a full fiscal year.  Certain prior period 
      amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period's 
      presentation.

3.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

      At December 31, 1993, the Company is contingently liable for unsecured 
      letters of credit of approximately $560,722,000 and letters of credit of 
      approximately $53,000,000 secured by financial instruments owned by the 
      Company, which are principally used as deposits for securities borrowed 
      and to satisfy margin deposits at option and commodity exchanges.

                        NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                        (UNAUDITED)



3.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES - (continued)

    In the normal course of its business, the Company enters into transactions 
    in a variety of financial instruments in order to meet the financing and 
    hedging needs of its customers, to reduce its own exposure to market, 
    currency and interest rate risks and in connection with its proprietary 
    market-making and trading activities.  These financial instruments include 
    forward and futures contracts, interest rate swaps and the writing of 
    options, including interest rate caps and floors.  The settlement of these
    transactions is not expected to have a material effect on the consolidated 
    financial condition of the Company as of December 31, 1993.

    In the normal course of business, the Company has been named as a defendant 
    in several lawsuits which involve claims for substantial amounts. Although 
    the ultimate outcome of these suits cannot be ascertained at this time, it 
    is the opinion of management, after consultation with counsel, that the 
    resolution of such suits will not have a material adverse effect on the 
    consolidated financial condition of the Company.

4.  NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

    The Company's principal operating subsidiary, Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. 
    ("Bear Stearns") and Bear Stearns' wholly-owned subsidiary, Bear, Stearns 
    Securities Corp. ("BSSC"), are registered broker-dealers and, accordingly, 
    are subject to Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c3-1 (the "Net 
    Capital Rule") and the capital rules of the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. 
    ("NYSE") and other principal exchanges of which Bear Stearns and BSSC are 
    members. Bear Stearns and BSSC have consistently operated in excess of the
    minimum net capital requirements imposed by the capital rules.  Included in 
    the computation of net capital of Bear Stearns, is net capital of BSSC in 
    excess of 5% of aggregate debit items arising from customer transactions, as
    defined.  At December 31, 1993, Bear Stearns' net capital of $876,050,392, 
    exceeded the minimum requirement by $865,515,679.

    Bear, Stearns International Limited ("BSIL") and Bear Stearns International
    Trading Limited ("BSIT") wholly-owned London-based subsidiaries, are subject
    to regulatory capital requirements of the Securities and Futures Authority. 
    BSIL and BSIT have consistently operated in excess of these requirements.

5.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

    Earnings per share is computed by dividing net income applicable to common 
    shares and the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock and common 
    stock equivalents outstanding during each period presented.  Common stock 
    equivalents include the assumed distribution of shares of Common Stock 
    issuable under certain of the Company's deferred compensation arrangements 
    with appropriate adjustments made to net income for earnings accruals 
    related thereto.  Additionally, shares of Common Stock issued or issuable 
    under various employee benefit plans are included as common stock 
    equivalents.


6.  CASH FLOW INFORMATION

    Cash payments for interest approximated interest expense for the six months 
    ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.  Income taxes paid totaled 
    $150,467,000 and $79,945,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1993 and 
    1992, respectively.  Noncash financing activities totaled $2,438,000 for the
    six months ended December 31, 1993.
