                         Report of Independent Auditors

The Employee Benefits Plans Committee
Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of the Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. Tax Deferred Savings Plan (the
"Plan") as of December 30, 1998 and 1997, and the related statements of changes
in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan'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 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 net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan at
December 30, 1998 and 1997, and the changes in its net assets available for plan
benefits for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedules
of investments held as of December 30, 1998, and series of transactions in
excess of five percent of net assets available for plan benefits for the year
then ended, are presented for purposes of complying with the Department of
Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements. The fund information in the statements of net assets
available for the plan benefits and the statements of changes in net assets
available for plan benefits are presented for purposes of additional analysis
rather than to present the net assets available for plan benefits and changes in
net assets available for plan benefits of each fund. The supplemental schedules
and fund information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
our audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

                           December 30, 1998 and 1997

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

GENERAL

The Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. Tax Deferred Savings Plan (the "Plan") is a
defined contribution plan. The Plan became effective January 1, 1984, was
amended and restated effective January 1, 1989 and was subsequently amended
through November 15, 1998. Under the terms of the Plan, qualified employees of
Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. ("Lehman") and its participating subsidiaries
(collectively, the "Company") are eligible to become Plan participants as soon
as administratively possible upon employment. Prior to July 1, 1995, there was a
12-month service requirement for plan participants.

The Plan is subject to the provisions of ERISA. A complete description of the
Plan is contained in the Plan document available to all participants from the
Plan Administrator.

CONTRIBUTIONS

Upon enrollment, a participant may elect to contribute, on a pre-tax basis,
between one and fifteen percent of the participant's annual compensation, as
defined in the Plan document. The Company may make a contribution, in Company
stock or cash, on behalf of eligible participants who have completed 12 months
of service and are employees on the last day of the Plan year. The amount of the
contribution, if any, will be determined by the Company's Board of Directors. If
a Company contribution is made it will be allocated as follows:

     1.  Participants whose compensation is below $37,800 per year and are not
         Investment Representatives, Investment Representative Trainees, Branch
         Managers, or Institutional Salespeople will receive a Company
         contribution of $400 plus a matching contribution of 100 percent of the
         first $600 of the employee's Before-Tax contributions.


                                                                               6

                    Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)

     2.  Participants whose compensation is between $37,800 and $100,000 per
         year will receive a matching contribution of up to 100 percent of the
         first $1,000 of the employee's Before-Tax contributions. Company
         contributions to participants whose compensation is between $37,800 and
         $100,000 per year will be made only if there are funds remaining after
         contributions are made for participants making less than $37,800 per
         year.

     3.  Company contributions will not be made for participants whose
         compensation exceeds $100,000 per year.

In 1998 and 1997, Company contributions were made in cash. Boston Safe Deposit &
Trust Company ("Boston Safe"), the Plan's custodian, used cash to purchase the
Company's common stock.

A participant's Before-Tax Contributions will not be subject to tax until
distribution. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"),
provides that Before-Tax Contributions (and any elective deferrals to other
plans containing a cash or deferred arrangement) will be included in a
participant's gross income to the extent such contributions exceed the statutory
limitation, which is indexed for inflation. The maximum limitation amount was
$10,000 and $9,500 for 1998 and 1997, respectively. The Company's contributions
on behalf of a participant, as well as the income and appreciation on amounts
invested in the investment funds offered under the Plan, are not includable in
the participant's taxable income until distributed.

Rollover contributions arise from contributions to the Plan of certain assets
previously held on behalf of participants by other qualified plans.


                                                                               7

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)

VALUATION OF PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS

Separate accounts are maintained for each participant whereby the participant's
account is credited for contributions and investment income and credited or
charged, as appropriate, for investment appreciation or depreciation.
Participant accounts are charged for withdrawals. The periodic allocation of
investment income and investment appreciation or depreciation is based upon the
participant's beneficial interest in each of the investment funds at the
valuation date.

INVESTMENTS

Participants' contributions can be invested in any of the funds listed below.
Investments of contributions among the investment funds can be made in
increments of 10%, with a maximum of 50% of contributions permitted to be
invested in the Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. Common Stock Fund. Participants
can elect to change their contribution rate and investment direction of new
contributions on a monthly basis. Participants may also elect to transfer
existing fund balances among the investment funds, generally on a monthly basis.

The following is a general description of each investment fund in which the Plan
invested since January 1997, as directed by participants:


                                                                               8

BENEFITS

A participant may elect, after attaining the age of 59-1/2, to withdraw all or
any portion of the value of his accounts, provided that each withdrawal is at
least $1,000 (or is 100% of the value of his account if less than $1,000).
Withdrawals by participants before the age of 59-1/2 are permitted from
before-tax contributions and pre-1989 earnings thereon, only after meeting
specified financial hardship criteria and after obtaining approval by the
Employee Benefit Plans Committee of the Company. A participant can elect to
withdraw all or a part of their rollover contribution made to the Plan. Prior to
1999, such a withdrawal must have been at least $1,000 (or 100% of the value of
his account if less) and was allowed only once during any consecutive 12-month
period.


                                                                              12

                    Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)

Although hardship and rollover withdrawals are allowed, a participant may be
subject to an additional 10% tax imposed by the Code for distributions before
age 59 1/2. If a participant's employment with the Company terminates for a
reason other than death, the balance in the participant's account is paid to the
participant in a lump-sum payment. However, if the balance in his account
exceeds $5000, payment will not be made before age 65 without the participant's
consent. Upon death of the participant, the balance in the participant's account
is paid to the designated beneficiary (as provided by the Plan) in a lump-sum
payment.

BENEFITS PAYABLE

Benefits payable to those participants who have elected to receive distributions
(or to be paid automatically as described above) from the Plan but have not yet
been paid was $5,319,943 and $5,173,739 in 1998 and 1997, respectively.

VESTING

Plan participants are 100 percent vested in all amounts in their respective Plan
accounts.

INCOME TAX STATUS

The Plan received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service
("IRS") dated February 14, 1995, stating that the Plan is qualified under
Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code ("Code") and, therefore, the related
trust is exempt from taxation. The Plan has been amended subsequent to the
receipt of the determination letter. The Employee Benefits Plan Committee
intends to apply for a new determination letter from the IRS. Once qualified,
the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its
qualification. The Employee Benefits Plan Committee believes the Plan is being
operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and,
therefore, believes that the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax
exempt.


                                                                              13

                    Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)

PARTICIPANT LOANS RECEIVABLE

Participants may borrow from their plan accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a
maximum of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance, whichever is less.
Loan transactions are treated as a transfer from (to) the investment fund to
(from) the loan account. Loan terms range from 1 year to 5 years or up to 10
years for the purchase of a primary residence as long as documentation is
provided. The loans are secured by one half of the balance in the participant's
accounts and bear interest at the rate of prime plus one. Principal and interest
are paid ratably through biweekly or monthly payroll deductions, depending on
the frequency with which the employee is paid. Participants who terminate with
outstanding loan balances have until the end of the quarter following the
quarter in which they terminate to pay the balance of their loan in full, in one
lump sum payment. Loans not repaid in that timeframe will be reported as taxable
distributions. Outstanding loan balances will also be treated as taxable
distributions for those participants who request a distribution of their account
prior to repaying their loan. For the year ended December 30, 1998, $45,982 in
outstanding loan balances were reclassified as taxable distributions.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

OTHER

Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income from other
investments is recorded on the accrual basis

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect
the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual
results may differ from those estimates.

3. ADMINISTRATIVE FEES

Except to the extent paid by the Company, all expenses of the Plan are paid by
the Plan. In 1998 and 1997, the Plan was charged $327,110 and $360,794 for
administrative expenses incurred during the respective years. The Company paid
all expenses not directly relating to the administration of the Plan, as well as
all expenses paid to affiliated investment managers.

4. PLAN TERMINATION

While it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right to
terminate the Plan at any time subject to the provisions set forth in ERISA and
the Code.

5. TRANSFER FROM OTHER PLAN

A transfer was made from the Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. Employee Stock
Ownership Plan upon its termination for participants who elected to transfer
their account balances in the amount of $2,912,034. On December 1, 1998, 24,259
