Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
Activity during the third
fiscal quarter of 1999 consisted of the collection of
principal and interest on the GNMA and FNMA certificates
and disbursements of the required payment of principal
and interest to the bondholders.
The Year 2000 challenge arises from the nearly universal
practice in the computer industry of using two digits
rather than four digits to designate the calendar year
(e.g. DD/MM/YY). This can lead to incorrect results
when computer software performs arithmetic operations,
comparisons or data field sorting involving years later
than 1999. The business activities of Trusts B, C, D
and E (the Trusts), which consists of the collection of
principal and interest on the GNMA and FNMA certificates
securing the bonds issued by the Trusts and disbursing
the required payment of principal and interest to the
bondholders, is conducted by third party suppliers to
the Trusts. Certain accounting, administrative and
clerical services are provided to the Trusts by an
affiliate. Consequently, the Trusts have not incurred
any expenses for remediation of their internal systems
and do not expect to incur any such expenses in the
future.
Depending on whether suppliers on which the Trusts rely
are able to successfully address the Year 2000 issue,
the Trusts' ability to comply with their payment
obligations under the outstanding bonds could be
materially adversely affected. As a result, the Trusts
have requested information regarding Year 2000 readiness
from such suppliers. Each such supplier has given the
Trusts written assurances that the supplier expects to
have completed its Year 2000 remediation before the date
when Year 2000 sensitivities could materially affect its
ability to perform its obligations to the Trusts. In
addition, each supplier has indicated that it has
developed or is developing contingency plans in the
event the supplier's significant systems are disrupted
by the Year 2000

problem. The Trusts currently expect that in the event
of systems failures of suppliers they would be able to
continue to do business, although such operations may be
at a higher cost.

Mortgage Securities III Trusts B, C, D and E
Notes to Financial Statements
For the Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended September 26, 1999
(Dollar amounts in thousands)
Note 1.Description of business:
Mortgage Securities III Trusts B, C, D and E (the
"Trusts") were established under the laws of Delaware by a
trust agreement. Prior to December 27, 1987, the trust
agreement was among Mortgage Securities III Corporation,
Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Company and Wilmington Trust
Company. On December 27, 1987, Weyerhaeuser Real Estate
Company dividended its beneficial interests in Mortgage
Securities III Trusts B, C, D and E to Weyerhaeuser
Company which in turn contributed its beneficial interests
in the Trusts to Weyerhaeuser Financial Services, Inc., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Weyerhaeuser Company. The
Trusts were organized and are engaged to raise funds
through the issuance and sale of Collateralized Mortgage
Obligation bonds (the Bonds) collateralized by Government
National Mortgage Association (GNMA) and Federal National
Mortgage Association (FNMA) certificates. The Trusts B,
C, D and E were established on April 8, 1986 and commenced
business on September 30, 1986, December 30, 1986,
February 27, 1987 and December 22, 1987, respectively.
Each Trust has issued a series of Collateralized Mortgage
Obligations as follows:
</TABLE>
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Trust Date Issued Bonds Issued
------ ------------------ -------------
<C> <S> <S>
B September 30, 1986 $100,000
D February 27, 1987 $ 75,600
E December 22, 1987 $131,600
</TABLE>
- 16 -
<PAGE>
Trust B and D's remaining Bonds are collateralized by GNMA
and FNMA certificates and Trust E's Bonds are
collateralized by GNMA certificates. Trust C Bonds have
been fully repaid.
Activity during the third quarter of 1999 consisted of the
collection of principal and interest on the GNMA and FNMA
certificates and disbursement of the required payment of
principal and interest to the bondholders.
Note 2.Accounting policies:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles 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.
The bond discounts on Trusts B and D were written off in
1997 as management intends to prepay the bonds at the
earliest allowable prepayment date and the amounts were no
longer material. The bond discount for Trust E is
amortized on a straight line basis, which approximates the
effective interest method, over the remaining life of the
instruments.
Cash and equivalents include cash held in the collection
accounts and invested in short term investments with
maturities at date of purchase of less than three months.
The cost and estimated market values of investments in
debt securities at September 26, 1999, were as follows:

</TABLE>
The Trusts are legally precluded from selling the
investments in debt securities, except in the case of a
call of the Bonds as discussed in Note 3.
Note 3.Collateralized Mortgage Obligation Bonds:
<TABLE>
Collateralized Mortgage Obligation Bonds at September 26,

--------- --------

</TABLE>
The stated maturity is the date such class will be fully
paid, assuming that scheduled interest and principal
payments (with no prepayments) on the certificates are
timely received.
- 18 -
<PAGE>
All collections on the certificates pledged as security for
the Bonds will be remitted directly to a collection account
(the "Collection Account") established with the Trustee and
together with the reinvestment earnings thereon, will be
available for application to the payment of principal and
interest on the bonds on the following payment date.
Each Trust's Bonds are subject to a special redemption, in
whole or in part, if, as a result of substantial payments
of principal on the underlying mortgage loans and/or low
reinvestment yields, the Trusts determine that the amount
of cash anticipated to be on deposit in the Collection
Accounts on the next payment date might be insufficient to
make required payments on the Bonds. Any such redemption
would not exceed the principal amount of Bonds that would
otherwise be required to be paid on the next payment date.
As a result, a special redemption of Bonds will not result
in a payment to bondholders more than two months earlier
than the payment date on which such payment would otherwise
have been received. The Bonds are not otherwise subject to
call at the option of the Trusts except that (a) Trust B
and E's Class 4 Bonds may be redeemed in whole, but not in
part, at the Trusts' option on any payment date on or after
October 1, 2001, and January 1, 2003, respectively, (or on
any earlier payment date if the current principal amount of
Trust B and E's Class 4 Bonds are less than $6,100 and
$13,160, respectively) and (b) Trust D's Class 3 Bonds may
be redeemed in whole, but not in part, at the Trust's
option on any payment date on or after March 1, 2002, or on
any earlier payment date if the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of the Class 3 Bonds is less than 10
percent of its aggregate initial principal amount of
$75,600.
Any such redemptions at the option of the Trusts shall be
at a price equal to 100 percent of the unpaid principal
amount of such Bonds plus accrued interest.
- 19 -
<PAGE>
Note 4. Assets pledged:
Trust B and D's Bonds are collateralized by the Trusts' GNMA
and FNMA certificates and the Collection Accounts. Trust
E's Bonds are collateralized by Trust E's GNMA certificates
and the Collection Account. Collections on the certificates
are used to meet the quarterly Bond interest payments and to
reduce the outstanding principal balance on the Bonds.
Note 5. Related parties:
Trusts B, C and D purchased from an affiliate, Weyerhaeuser
Mortgage Company, GNMA and FNMA certificates which were used
to collateralize the Bonds. The purchases were at par
value, plus Trust D's purchase premium and less Trust B and
C's purchase discounts. The purchases were financed with
market-rate short-term debt from this affiliate until
proceeds from the bond issuance were obtained.
Trust E purchased from an affiliate, Weyerhaeuser Mortgage
Company, GNMA certificates which were used to collateralize
the Bonds. The purchase was at par value, less the purchase
discount. The purchase was financed with the proceeds
received from the Bond issuances and a note due to
Weyerhaeuser Mortgage Company. The note accrued interest at
Bank of America's prime rate and compounded interest
annually. Both the principal and interest related to the
Weyerhaeuser Mortgage Company payable was paid off by
Weyerhaeuser Financial Services, Inc. (Beneficial Owner) in
March 1997, in anticipation of the sale of Weyerhaeuser
Mortgage Company to an unrelated third party by Weyerhaeuser
Financial Services, Inc. and Weyerhaeuser Company. In
August 1997, Weyerhaeuser Financial Services, Inc.
contributed capital to Trust E, increasing beneficial
owner's interest.
Certain ongoing administrative and accounting functions are
provided by the Beneficial Owner at no cost to each Trust.

<PAGE>
Note 6. Results of operations:
All results of operations will be transferred to the
Beneficial Owner of the Trusts. Mortgage Securities III
Corporation will be responsible for all tax liabilities
incurred relating to the Trusts' operations.
