FINANCIAL REVIEW

Management's discussion and analysis of Bankers Trust New York Corporation's
results of operations and financial condition appears on pages 2 through 45.
The discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the supplemental
financial statements and supplemental financial data, which begin on page 46.

The Merger

On September 1, 1997, Alex. Brown Incorporated ("Alex. Brown") was merged into a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Bankers Trust New York Corporation (the "Merger").
In conjunction with the Merger, each share of Alex. Brown common stock then
outstanding was converted into 0.83 shares of Bankers Trust New York
Corporation's common stock (the "Exchange Ratio").  The Merger was treated as a
tax free exchange.

  The supplemental consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to
the Merger in a transaction accounted for as a pooling of interests.  The
pooling of interests method of accounting requires the restatement of all
periods presented as if Alex. Brown and Bankers Trust New York Corporation had
always been combined.  Generally accepted accounting principles proscribe giving
effect to a consummated business combination accounted for by the pooling of
interests method in financial statements that do not include the date of
consummation.  The supplemental consolidated financial statements do not extend
through the date of consummation.  However, they will become the historical
consolidated financial statements of Bankers Trust New York Corporation together
with its subsidiaries (the "Corporation" or the "Firm") after financial
statements covering the date of consummation of the business combination are
issued. The supplemental consolidated statement of changes in stockholders'
equity reflects the accounts of the Corporation as if the additional common
stock had been issued during all the periods presented. The supplemental
consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, should be read
in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements of Alex.
Brown and Bankers Trust New York Corporation, included in their Annual Reports
on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SUMMARY OF 1996 RESULTS

For the year 1996, the Corporation earned $766 million, or $6.93 primary
earnings per share.  For the year 1995, the Corporation earned $311 million, or
$2.59 primary earnings per share.

  For the year, total net revenues (net interest revenue after provision for
credit losses plus noninterest revenue) of $5.169 billion were up $1.187
billion, or 30 percent, from 1995.  This increase was broadly based and
reflected growth in nearly all of the Firm's businesses.  Net revenues reached
their second highest level in the Corporation's history, trailing only the
record set in 1993.

  Total noninterest expenses for the year increased $525 million, or 15 percent,
from 1995.  This increase was primarily due to incentive compensation related to
the improved financial performance and higher employee benefits.

  Credit quality continued to improve during the year. At December 31, 1996,
total cash basis loans amounted to $452 million, down from $744 million at
December 31, 1995.

ORGANIZATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

The Corporation delivers a wide range of financial products and services
worldwide principally through eight broad Organizational Units.  Five units are
organized around specific products and services: Investment Banking, Risk
Management Services, Trading & Sales, Investment Management, and Client
Processing Services.  Three additional units are organized to deliver these same
types of financial products and services with the unique local expertise
necessary to operate successfully in Australia/New Zealand, Asia and Latin
America.

  Organizational Unit business results are determined based on the Corporation's
internal management accounting process, which allocates revenue and expenses
among the organizational units.  Because the Corporation's business is diverse
in nature and its operations are integrated, it is impractical to segregate
respective contributions of the organizational units with precision.  As a
result, estimates and judgments have been made to apportion revenue and expense
items.  In addition, certain revenue and expenses have been segregated and
reported in Corporate/Other because in the opinion of management, they could not
be reasonably allocated or because their contributions to a particular
organizational unit would be distortive.  The internal management accounting
process, unlike financial accounting in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, is based on the way management views its business and is
not necessarily comparable with similar information disclosed by other financial
institutions. In order to provide comparability from one period to the next, the
Corporation will restate this analysis to conform with material changes in the
allocation process and/or significant changes in organizational structure.  The
information presented below reflects the results by organizational units.  The
historical amounts of Alex. Brown have been included in Investment Banking,
Investment Management and Corporate Other, (in millions):

subsidiaries.  Consorcio, the remaining subsidiary, is the largest life
insurance company in Chile.  The 1995 results included losses from derivative
trading activities.

with the notional interest income on the Corporation's capital accounts.  In
addition, the provision for credit losses and various special charges and
reserves are reflected within Corporate/Other. Corporate/Other net loss for 1996
was $149 million compared with a 1995 net loss of $169 million.  The most
notable items in 1996 were $20 million pre-tax reserves related to prior period
items in the transaction processing business in addition to exceptional legal
and professional fees related to the completion of the Independent Counsel's
report and the settlement of old leveraged derivatives disputes.  The 1996
results also included a gain on the sale of Golden American Life Insurance

FINANCIAL REPORTING MATTERS

Effective January 1, 1996, the Corporation adopted the pro forma net income and
earnings per share disclosure requirements set forth in Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation."
As permitted by SFAS 123, the Corporation will continue to account for stock-
based employee compensation plans in accordance with Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."

  On January 1, 1995, the Corporation adopted SFAS 114, "Accounting by Creditors
for Impairment of a Loan" as amended by SFAS 118, "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan-Income Recognition and Disclosures."  SFAS 114 requires the
creation of a valuation allowance for impaired loans based on one of the
following: the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the
loan's effective interest rate, the loan's observable market price or the fair
value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.  Under SFAS 114, a
loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable
that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the
loan's contractual terms.  At December 31, 1995, adoption of this standard
resulted in a $90 million allocation of the existing allowance for credit losses
to a specific valuation allowance for impaired loans.

  As used throughout this Annual Report, the term "International" signifies
information based on the domicile of the customer, whereas the term "Foreign
Office" refers to the location in which the transaction is recorded.

STATEMENT OF INCOME ANALYSIS

NET INTEREST REVENUE

Net interest revenue for 1996 was $1.057 billion, up $173 million, or 20
percent, from 1995.  Net interest revenue of $884 million in 1995 decreased by
$332 million, or 27 percent, from the amount earned in 1994.

  The Firm's trading and risk management businesses include significant
activities in interest rate instruments and related derivatives.  These
activities can periodically shift revenue between trading and net interest,
depending on a variety of factors, including risk management strategies.
Therefore, the Corporation views trading revenue and trading-related net
interest revenue together, which is discussed in the trading revenue section
below.

  The Firm's nontrading-related net interest revenue, historically a more stable
component of overall net interest revenue than trading-related net interest
revenue, was $818 million in 1996, compared to $792 million in 1995.

  For the 1995 versus 1994 comparison, net interest revenue decreased by $332
million due to a $371 million, or 80 percent, decrease in trading-related net
interest revenue, which totaled $92 million for 1995.  Total nontrading-related
net interest revenue was $792 million for 1995 compared to $753 million in 1994.

  In 1996, the interest rate spread was .74 percent compared to .79 percent in
1995.  Net interest margin increased slightly to 1.12 percent from 1.11 percent.
The yield on interest-earning assets declined by 38 basis points and was mostly
offset by a decline in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities of 33 basis
points.

  In 1995, the interest rate spread declined to .79 percent from 1.46 percent in
1994.  Net interest margin decreased to 1.11 percent from 1.68 percent.  The
cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased at a greater rate than did the
yield on interest-earning assets.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The provision for credit losses amounted to $5 million for 1996, compared with
$31 million for 1995 and $25 million in 1994.  A discussion of the Corporation's
summary of credit loss experience, including charge-off procedures and the
adequacy of the allowance for credit losses, appears on page 33.

TRADING REVENUE

The Corporation conducts its global trading of debt and equity securities, money
market instruments, derivative products and foreign exchange as an integrated
business because of the dynamic interplay among worldwide interest rates,
exchange rates and equity and commodity indices.  Trading revenue is generated
by both client-related activities and proprietary activities.  These activities
encompass the Firm's dealer business of providing risk management products for
clients, including derivatives such as swaps, options, forwards and other
similar types of contracts.  In addition, these activities include the trading
of U.S. government and agency securities, foreign sovereign securities, foreign
exchange and currency options and commodity futures and options.  The Firm also
trades restructured loans, bonds, equities and other instruments of Latin
American and other emerging markets issuers.

  Trading-related net interest revenue represents interest earned on cash
instruments held in the trading accounts less the cost to fund both cash and
derivatives positions.

  For the year 1996, trading revenue was $1.014 billion, up $533 million, or 111
percent, from the $481 million reported in 1995.  The trading revenue in 1995
was down $105 million from the results reported in 1994.  Trading-related net
interest revenue increased to $239 million in 1996, up $147 million, or 160
percent, from the $92 million reported in 1995.  The trading-related net
interest revenue in 1995 was down $371 million from 1994 results.

  The table below presents the Firm's trading revenue and trading-related net
interest revenue by major category of market risk.  These categories are based
on management's view of the predominant underlying risk exposure of each of the
Firm's trading positions.

Interest Rate Risk

As indicated above, a significant portion of the Firm's trading and risk
management activities involve positions in interest rate instruments and related
derivatives.  The revenue from these activities can periodically shift between
trading and trading-related net interest revenue, depending on a variety of
factors, including risk management

                                       10
<PAGE>
 
activities.  During 1996 the increase in trading and trading-related net
interest revenue  in this category was primarily due to a rebound in the Firm's
activities in Latin America.  This rebound was attributed to reduced risk
positions in Latin America during 1996 and a return to normal volatility levels
in the region. Conversely, 1995 was a year marked, especially in the early
months, by heightened volatility in Latin American interest rates coupled with
liquidity problems resulting from the Mexican peso devaluation.  Also affecting
this category in 1996 was an increase in the volume of London, New York, and
Tokyo interest rate products, and increased revenue from U.S. bonds attributable
to increased capital inflows to the market.  As a result, total trading revenue
and trading-related net interest revenue associated with interest rate positions
increased by 170 percent to $749 million in 1996.

  During 1995 total trading revenue and trading-related net interest revenue
associated with interest rate positions declined by 66 percent to $277 million
from $822 million in 1994.  This decrease was affected by the heightened
volatility in interest rates and associated liquidity problems in the emerging
markets of Latin America in 1995 discussed above.

Foreign Exchange Risk

The Firm's trading and risk management strategies also involve positions in
foreign exchange and currency related derivatives such as swaps, options,
forwards and other similar types of contracts.  Improved performance in the
Australian, Asian, and Latin American foreign exchange markets was the primary
reason for the $142 million increase in foreign exchange trading revenue
compared to 1995.

  Trading revenue related to foreign exchange risk resulted in a gain of $36
million in 1995, compared with a loss of $54 million in 1994.  The general
decline in global interest rates favorably impacted positions as trading revenue
in this category increased $90 million compared to 1994, due principally to a
rebound in the Firm's proprietary trading business.

Equity and Commodity Risk

The Firm's trading and risk management activities also include positions in
equity securities and commodities and related derivatives.  Total trading and
trading-related net interest revenue related to equity and commodity risk
increased $66 million compared to 1995.  This increase primarily related to
strong results from equity arbitrage trading activities and increases from OTC
trading partially offset by losses incurred in the commodity derivatives books
when copper prices dropped sharply in 1996.

  Total trading and trading-related net interest revenue related to equity and
commodity risk decreased $21 million in 1995 compared to 1994.  This decrease
included a decline in equity-related derivative products which was reflective of
the lower average margin on derivative products as a whole.  This decrease was
partially offset by increases from OTC trading.  The volatility in the Latin
American markets that occurred in 1995 had a ripple effect on equity prices
which was also a factor in the overall performance in this category.

</TABLE>

  Fiduciary and funds management revenue was up $109 million, or 14 percent,
from 1995, which was down $31 million from 1994.  All major activities within
this category contributed to the revenue growth in 1996 which resulted from
higher transaction volumes, as well as a higher level of assets under
management.  The decrease in 1995 compared to 1994 was primarily due to a
decline in transaction volumes in global fiduciary services, as well as a
decline in brokerage fee income at the Corporation's Australian subsidiary as a
result of lower fund growth as compared to 1994.  Partially offsetting these
factors was an increase in custodian fees due to a higher level of global
custody assets under management.

  Corporate finance fees were up $231 million, or 33 percent from 1995, which
were up $63 million from 1994.  The increase in 1996 was primarily due to a
higher volume of securities underwriting, financial advisory and private
placement activities.  The increase in 1995 compared to 1994 was primarily due
to an increase in revenues from underwriting-related activities.

  Net revenue from equity investment transactions was up $77 million, or 50
percent, from 1995, which was up $25 million from 1994.  The increase in 1996
was primarily due to gains realized in the Private Equity Investment unit of
Investment Banking.  The 1995 results included a $62 million gain on the sale of
a portion of the Corporation's merchant banking investment in Northwest Airlines
Corporation.

  Securities available for sale gains were down $105 million, or 58 percent,
from 1995, which were up $108 million from 1994.  The 1995 results included a
$145 million gain on the sale of most of the Corporation's merchant banking
investment in Northwest Airlines Corporation.

  Insurance premiums decreased $4 million, or 2 percent, from 1995.  This
decrease was mainly due to the sale of Compensa, which was the smaller of the
Corporation's two Chilean insurance subsidiaries, in the second quarter of 1996,
partially offset by increased annuity and traditional life insurance activity at
Consorcio.  Insurance premiums in 1995 were $51 million higher than 1994.
Higher insurance premium revenue was realized from the Corporation's Chilean
subsidiaries primarily as a result of an increase in their annuity business.

  Other noninterest revenue increased $89 million, or 61 percent, from 1995.
Other noninterest revenue in 1995 was $18 million lower than 1994.  The increase
in 1996 was primarily due to a $31 million gain on the sale of Compensa, as well
as a gain on the sale of Golden American Life Insurance Company, an indirect
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation acquired in satisfaction of debt in
1992.

</TABLE>

  Total noninterest expenses increased $525 million, or 15 percent, from 1995.
Salaries and commissions expense increased $110 million, or 11 percent, in 1996.
Incentive compensation and employee benefits expense increased $383 million, or
46 percent, reflecting an increase in incentive compensation awards in response
to increasingly competitive market conditions and improved financial
performance.  The number of full time staff at December 31, 1996 was 17,936
compared to 16,502 at December 31, 1995.

  All other noninterest expenses totaled $1.668 billion for 1996, compared with
$1.586 billion for 1995 which excluded the provision for severance-related costs
of $50 million.  Included in the 1996 amount were reserves, as previously
discussed, for potential charges established after a review of accounting
operations since 1989 in the Corporation's transaction processing business.

  Total noninterest expenses increased $296 million in 1995 from 1994.
Excluding the provision for severance-related costs, noninterest expenses were
$3.463 billion, an increase of $246 million, or 8 percent, from 1994.  Salaries
and commissions expense increased $75 million, or 8 percent, in 1995.  Incentive
compensation and employee benefits expense decreased $24 million, or 3 percent,
due to lower bonus expense reflecting the reduced earnings.

  All other noninterest expenses, excluding the provision for severance-related
costs, totaled $1.586 billion for 1995, which was $195 million, or 14 percent,
higher than in 1994.  This increase was primarily due to an increase in the
provision for policyholder benefits as well as an increase in professional fees,
which included exceptional legal costs related to leveraged derivative
transactions.

  The Corporation is engaged in a global effort to manage potential system
failure and risk from the "Year 2000" problem.  A Year 2000 program has been set
up to manage, track and report on the Firm's worldwide effort with the goal of
ensuring uninterrupted service across the full range of products and services
offered by the Firm.



INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense for 1996 amounted to $365 million, compared with $158 million
for 1995 and $301 million in 1994.  The effective tax rate for 1996 was 32
percent, while the 1995 and 1994 effective tax rate was 34 percent and 30
percent, respectively.

INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS

International operations have made a significant contribution to consolidated
results, consistent with the emphasis the Corporation has placed on foreign
markets.  The Corporation's assets and results of operations for 1996, 1995 and
1994 have been allocated between domestic and international operations in Note
22 of Notes to Supplemental Financial Statements.  This analysis, which is based
on the domicile of the customer, incorporates numerous subjective assumptions.
Management views the operation of the Corporation on an organizational unit
basis, as disclosed on page 3.

  International net income totaled $297 million for 1996, compared with $106
million for 1995.  This represented a contribution of 39 percent and 34 percent
to the Corporation's overall net income in 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The
1995 balances have been restated to reflect the change in methodology used to
allocate corporate overhead and operating expenses.

  Australia/New Zealand and the United Kingdom had the greatest change in net
income.  Australia/New Zealand's net income (after corporate expense
allocations) increased from $101 million to $144 million due to increases in
foreign exchange trading, fiduciary and funds management revenue, and other fees
and commissions.  The United Kingdom net income was nil (after corporate expense
allocations) compared to the prior year's net loss of $144 million.  This
improvement was driven primarily by positive trading revenues.

  These increases in international results were partially offset by a reduction
in net income for Europe which decreased from $37 million to $18 million.

  Domestic net income increased by $264 million to $469 million due to increased
trading revenue, and other fees and commission income.

  International total assets were $62.5 billion at December 31, 1996 compared to
$51.5 billion at December 31, 1995 which represented 51 percent and 48 percent
of total consolidated assets, respectively.  The $11 billion increase in assets
was primarily due to increases of $2.8 billion for Australia/New Zealand
operations, $4.4 billion for the Western Hemisphere, and $6.4 billion for
Europe.  These increases were offset by a decline of $3.4 billion in the United
Kingdom. Australia/New Zealand operations' assets rose due to increases in
loans, securities available for sale and trading assets.  Assets for Europe and
the Western Hemisphere rose as trading assets increased.  United Kingdom
operations' assets decreased due to a decline in trading assets at year end.
Domestic total assets increased $5.6 billion to $60.3 billion driven by
increases in trading assets.

  International net income totaled $106 million for 1995 as restated, compared
with $368 million for 1994.  International operations contributed 34 percent and
54 percent of the Corporation's net income in 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The
decrease in 1995 international net income, as compared to 1994, was primarily
due to a decline in the Corporation's overall results.  The decrease in
international operations' income in proportion to domestic income (34 percent in
1995 as compared to 54 percent in 1994) is primarily due to losses incurred in
the United Kingdom and a decrease in net income for Australia/New Zealand.  The
United Kingdom had a net loss (after corporate expense allocations) of $144
million, a decrease of $249 million, which was primarily caused by trading
losses.  The decrease in net income for Australia/New Zealand (to $101 million
from $151 million) was primarily due to foreign exchange trading losses and an
overall increase in other expenses.

                                       14
<PAGE>
 
  Domestic net income decreased by $113 million, to $205 million in 1995 due to
a decline in interest earned caused by a reduction in interest-bearing trading
assets, decreases in fees and commissions and increases in interest expense and
other noninterest expense.

  International total assets were $51.5 billion at December 31, 1995, compared
with $36.1 billion at December 31, 1994 and represented 48 percent and 37
percent of total consolidated assets, respectively.  The $15.4 billion increase
was primarily due to an increase in United Kingdom assets of $3.2 billion, an
increase in Western Hemisphere assets of $1.5 billion and a decrease in
intersegment activity of $10 billion.  Assets for both regions rose due to
increases in trading assets.  Domestic total assets decreased $7.5 billion to
$54.7 billion primarily due to reductions in federal funds sold, domestic
trading assets and intersegment balances.  These decreases were partially offset
by an increase in securities purchased under resale agreements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Management believes that the Corporation has sufficient resources to meet the
needs of its business operations for liquidity and capital resources.

Liquidity

Liquidity is the ability to have funds available at all times to meet the
commitments of the Corporation.  The Corporation has a formal process for
managing global liquidity for the Firm as a whole and for each of its
significant subsidiaries.  Management's guiding policy is to maintain
conservative levels of liquidity designed to ensure that the Firm has the
ability to meet its obligations under all reasonably foreseeable circumstances.
Management maintains appropriate asset liquidity and actively manages
liability/capital levels, maturities and diversification.  The fundamental
objective is to ensure that, even in the event of a complete loss of access to
the liability markets, the Corporation will be able to continue to fund those
assets that cannot be liquidated in a timely manner.

  The Corporation has a strong global funding presence and maintains a
centralized funding unit while retaining a funding presence in local markets.  A
consolidated funding function provides for central coordination and control of
pricing and global information and strategy, while the proximity to local
markets allows for greater customer diversity and the flexibility to respond
quickly to market opportunities.

  In addition, the Corporation assesses its liquidity profile, such as asset
marketability, asset-to-liability repayment/maturity characteristics and funding
diversification, under various stress scenarios.  Management believes that the
Corporation has the ability to withstand severe and prolonged liquidity shocks,
both systemic and institution-specific.

  Most of the Corporation's assets are highly liquid and of high credit quality.
The Corporation maintains excess liquidity through its base of liquid assets.
Liquid assets consist of cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits with
banks, federal funds sold, securities purchased under resale agreements,
securities borrowed, trading assets, and securities available for sale.
Securities purchased under resale agreements and securities borrowed are
virtually all short-term in nature and are collateralized with U.S. government
or other marketable securities, or cash equivalents.  Trading assets are marked-
to-market daily and primarily consist of swaps, options and other derivative
contracts, foreign government securities, corporate debt securities, U.S.
government and agency securities, and equity securities.  The Corporation's
liquid assets amounted to $97.5 billion as of December 31, 1996, and $84.1
billion as of December 31, 1995, which equaled 79 percent and 78 percent,
respectively, of gross total assets.

  The Corporation continues to focus on extending and diversifying its funding
base by geography, investor segment, legal vehicle issuer, and type of
instrument.  This is done by strengthening secured funding capabilities and
issuing a substantial amount of long-term debt and preferred stock in various
markets.  The Corporation places particular emphasis on a large and diverse base
of stable customer deposits, which are generated incidentally from other
transactions or services provided in its Client Processing Services business.
Also, the Corporation has a relatively high proportion of active unsecured
funding which is provided by capital and long-term debt.

  One of the Corporation's principal sources of day-to-day funding is provided
by securities loaned and securities sold under repurchase agreements, generally
involving U.S. government and agency securities and other OECD sovereign bonds.
Short-term financing is also available to the Corporation under various
commercial paper programs.  The Corporation maintains its own sales force, which
enables the Corporation to develop and maintain ongoing relationships with a
diverse group of investors.  The Corporation

                                       17
<PAGE>
 
has $450 million of unused committed lines of credit under revolving credit
agreements (the "Credit Facilities") with various banks.  The Credit Facilities
expire between March 1997 and March 1999.  The Credit Facilities and certain
term loans contain various restrictive financial covenants.  There were no
outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facilities at December 31, 1996.  The
Corporation was in compliance with all restrictive covenants contained in the
Credit Facilities and applicable term loans at December 31, 1996.  The
Corporation's short-term borrowings and its deposits are provided by a broadly
diversified investor/depositor base in various markets throughout the world.

  The Corporation's consolidated long-term debt and mandatorily redeemable
capital securities of subsidiary trusts holding solely junior subordinated
deferrable interest debentures included in risk-based capital ("trust preferred
capital securities"), at December 31, 1996 totaled $12.0 billion, substantially
all of which was unsecured, and consisted of $7.7 billion in senior borrowings,
$3.6 billion of subordinated debt, and $730 million of trust preferred capital
securities issued principally by the Parent Company and Bankers Trust Company
("BTCo"), the Corporation's principal banking subsidiary.  These liabilities
mature between 1997 and 2033, as detailed in Notes 9 and 10 of Notes to
Supplemental Financial Statements.

  The following information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
statement of cash flows, which appears on page 50.

  For the year ended 1996, cash and due from banks decreased $831 million as the
net cash used in investing activities and operating activities exceeded the net
cash provided by financing activities.  Within investing activities, cash
outflows from purchases of securities available for sale ($5.9 billion),
securities borrowed ($5.7 billion), securities purchased under resale agreements
($4.8 billion), and loans ($2.9 billion), were partially offset by cash inflows
from sales, maturities and other redemptions of securities available for sale
($4.8 billion).  The $3.8 billion of net cash used in operating activities was
primarily the result of net changes in trading assets ($2.7 billion) and trading
liabilities ($2.4 billion) partially offset by net changes in receivables and
payables from securities transactions ($1.2 billion).  Within financing
activities, cash inflows from securities loaned and securities sold under
repurchase agreements ($8.3 billion), deposits ($4.7 billion), issuances of
long-term debt and trust preferred capital securities ($4.3 billion) and other
short-term borrowings ($3.4 billion) were partially offset by cash outflows from
repayments of long-term debt ($1.3 billion).

  For the year ended 1995, cash and due from banks increased $390 million as the
net cash provided by operating activities and financing activities exceeded the
net cash used in investing activities.  The $3.5 billion of net cash provided by
operating activities primarily resulted from $5.9 billion of net cash provided
by a net change in trading liabilities offset in part by $1.4 billion and $1.0
billion of net cash used by net changes in trading assets and receivables and
payables from securities transactions, respectively.  Within investing
activities, cash outflows from securities purchased under resale agreements
($6.4 billion), purchases of securities available for sale ($4.2 billion) and
securities borrowed ($1.8 billion), were offset in part by cash inflows from
sales, maturities and other redemptions of securities available for sale ($5.7
billion), federal funds sold ($1.7 billion) and interest-bearing deposits with
banks ($1.2 billion).  Within financing activities, cash inflows from the
issuances of long-term debt ($4.8 billion) were partially offset by cash
outflows from other short-term borrowings ($2.2 billion) and repayments of long-
term debt ($1.6 billion).

CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Corporation pursues capital management with the objective of enhancing its
ability to execute its global strategic business plans while retaining financial
flexibility.  Management believes that a strong capital base is critical to
achieving these objectives.

  Combined consolidated total stockholders' equity and preferred stock of
subsidiary totaled $6.128 billion on December 31, 1996, up $405 million, or 7
percent, from year end 1995, which was up $396 million, or 7 percent, from year
end 1994.  The increase in 1996 was primarily due to net income, exercise of
employee stock options, and shares issued in connection with an acquisition,
partially offset by dividends declared and the repurchase of stock.  The
increase in 1995 was primarily due to the issuance of preferred stock and net
income, partially offset by dividends declared.

  In December 1996, the Corporation, through newly established subsidiary
trusts, issued $750 million of trust preferred capital securities, a type of
security that is reported within the Corporation's liabilities, but qualifies as
regulatory capital (refer to Note 10 of Notes to the Supplemental Financial
Statements for further discussion of these securities).  The Corporation's
issuance of trust preferred capital securities was an important factor in the 19
percent increase in the Corporation's Tier 1 Capital and the 13 percent increase
in Total Capital during 1996.

  The Corporation's primary measure of capital strength is the RAROC framework
(see page 27 for further discussion), which quantifies and assigns capital to
business activities based upon their credit, interest rate, foreign currency,
equity, commodity, liquidity and operating risks.  Changes in the Corporation's
global balance sheet are monitored centrally on a regular basis.  In addition,
the Corporation actively monitors compliance with bank regulatory capital
requirements, focusing primarily on the risk-based capital guidelines.  The
Corporation manages its capital base and on- and off-balance sheet items to
ensure that it remains strongly capitalized.

  The Federal Reserve Board's risk-based capital guidelines addressing the
capital adequacy of bank holding companies and banks (collectively "banking
organizations") include a definition of capital and a framework for calculating
risk-weighted assets by assigning assets and off-balance sheet items to broad
risk categories, as well as minimum risk-based capital ratios to be maintained
by banking organizations.  A banking organization's risk-based capital ratios
are calculated by dividing its qualifying capital by its risk-weighted assets.
The Federal Reserve Board also has a minimum Leverage Ratio which is used as a
supplement to the risk-based capital ratios in evaluating the capital adequacy
of banks and bank holding companies.  The Leverage Ratio is calculated by
dividing Tier 1 Capital by adjusted quarterly average assets.

  The following discussion of the risk-based capital and leverage ratios should
be read in conjunction with Note 16 of the Notes to Supplemental Financial
Statements, which details the components of Tier 1 Capital and Tier 2 Capital,
as well as the regulatory guidelines for well-capitalized banks and bank holding
companies.

  The Corporation's and BTCo's regulatory capital ratios are presented in Table
4. The Corporation's risk-weighted assets are presented in Table 5.

  During 1996, the Corporation's Tier 1 Capital ratio and Leverage ratio
increased by 30 and 50 basis points, respectively, due primarily to the issuance
of $750 million of trust preferred capital securities.  The Corporation's Total
Capital ratio decreased by 20 basis points due primarily to an increase in risk-
weighted assets.  Refer to Table 5, which details the Corporation's risk-
weighted assets.

                                       19
<PAGE>
 
  During 1996, BTCo's Total Capital ratio increased by 10 basis points, due
primarily to the issuance of $250 million of trust preferred capital securities
(included in the $750 million above) which qualifies as Tier 2 Capital for BTCo.
The Leverage ratio increased by 20 basis points, due to a slight increase in
Tier 1 Capital.  However, the increase in Tier 1 Capital was offset by higher
risk-weighted assets, resulting in a 20 basis points decrease to the Tier 1
Capital ratio.

  Table 4 presents the regulatory capital ratios of the Corporation and BTCo at
December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the well capitalized guidelines.

Future Developments:
The Measure of Market Risk in the Trading Accounts as Defined by the BIS

In 1996 the Federal Reserve Board and the other U.S. federal bank regulatory
agencies jointly issued a final rule that amends the current risk-based capital
guidelines to incorporate a measure for market risk ("the market risk
amendment").  The market risk amendment is consistent with the amendment to the
Basle Capital Accord adopted by the Basle Committee on Banking Supervision at
the Bank for International Settlements ("the BIS"), which is described below.
Essentially, the market risk amendment will change in future years the
calculation of risk-weighted assets in the trading accounts, as well as include
the positions and capital of all non-bank subsidiaries in the combined credit
risk and market risk capital calculation of the Corporation.  In all other
respects, the current capital adequacy guidelines will remain in effect.

  The Corporation will be subject to this amendment. Compliance is mandatory by
January 1, 1998 for those banks that meet certain threshold tests.  Banks may
choose to adopt early during 1997, with prior approval from their primary
federal regulator.

  The market risk amendment allows banks to measure general market risk using a
bank's internal risk model. Capital charges for market risk are calculated based
upon the level of general market risk and specific risk.  General market risk
refers to changes in value due to variations in market conditions (i.e., levels
of rates, prices, etc.).  Specific risk refers to the risk of variations in
value due to changes in factors associated with a particular security (for
example, the credit rating of a corporate debenture).

  Under the provisions of the final rule implementing the amendment in the U.S.,
models and processes used to manage market risk must meet a number of
quantitative and qualitative standards.  The following is a summary of these
standards:


Quantitative Standards
o the general market risk capital must be based on a Value at Risk approach and
computed daily;

o the Value at Risk must be calibrated to a ten-day holding period and a 99
percent confidence level (i.e., if the Corporation maintained an absolutely
static portfolio for ten business days, there would be a 1 percent chance that
the portfolio would decline in value by more than the Value at Risk);

o the risk model must capture the non-linear price characteristics of option
positions;

o the historical observation period for estimating risk factors must be at least
one year;

o for interest rates, there must be a set of risk factors corresponding to each
currency in which the bank has interest rate sensitive on- or off-balance sheet
positions;

o for interest rates, the risk measurement system must incorporate separate risk
factors to capture spread risk between government and other fixed-income
securities;

o for exchange rates, the risk measurement system should incorporate risk
factors corresponding to the individual foreign currencies in which the bank's
positions are denominated;

o for equity prices, there should be risk factors corresponding to each of the
equity markets in which the bank holds significant positions;

o for commodity prices, there should be risk factors corresponding to each of
the commodity markets in which the bank holds significant positions.

                                       22
<PAGE>
 
Qualitative Standards
o the bank should have an independent risk control unit that reports directly to
senior management;

o the unit should conduct regular backtesting;

o the bank's risk measurement model should be integrated into the day-to-day
risk management process of the bank;

o the risk measurement model should be complemented by a routine and rigorous
program of stress testing.

  The Corporation believes that the risk management process and the risk model
employed to produce its Daily Price Volatility and RAROC meet the standards
established by the BIS and the Federal Reserve Board.

  After making certain interpretations in order to apply the new rule to the
Corporation's positions at December 31, 1996, it is estimated that the Tier 1
Capital and the Total Capital ratios would have been somewhat higher on a fully
consolidated basis under the new guidelines.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Risk management is a core competency from which the Corporation derives many of
its competitive advantages.  The ability to measure and manage risk is a prime
concern in all of the Corporation's business decisions, and sensitivity to risk
management innovations and issues is an integral part of its culture.  Four
overarching principles guide the Corporation's management of risk:

o a firm-wide commitment to effective risk management starts at the senior-
management level;

o a strong, centralized and independent control function for risk management
operating in conjunction with decentralized business activities enables the
Corporation to be agile and efficient in its business activities, yet prudent in
its overall risk-taking;

o diversification is an efficient mechanism for managing risk;

o returns earned must be commensurate with the marginal risk associated with
each business activity.

  The Corporation has made substantial investments in both information
technology and human capital to support its risk management processes.
Proprietary systems allow a team of dedicated risk management professionals to
track the Corporation's global portfolio from its offices worldwide.  This team
of risk management professionals is independent of the Corporation's business
lines and reports directly to senior management.

Market Risk

Each day the Corporation's risk management process assembles position and risk
information on financial instruments of the Firm whose economic (fair) value is
a function of market-determined variables: interest rates, currency exchange
rates, equity prices, and commodity prices.  This information is consolidated
into daily risk and limits reports for the Corporation and business lines.
These reports are reviewed by the Corporation's senior risk managers and provide
them with a consistent set of information upon which to base their business
judgments.

  One summary measure of market risk that is produced by this process is Daily
Price Volatility.  The Daily Price Volatility of a portfolio is the potential
loss in fair value that would be exceeded 1 percent of the time if that
portfolio were held unchanged for one day.  The Daily Price Volatility
information in the table and diagram reported below reflects the market risk for
virtually all of the Corporation's financial assets and liabilities irrespective
of accounting classification.  The positions captured by the Daily Price
Volatility include both derivative and cash positions which are reported as
trading assets and liabilities, repurchase and resale agreements, funding assets
and liabilities, deposits, assets held for sale and end-user derivatives.  The
Daily Price Volatility is based upon proprietary simulation and risk modeling
techniques and incorporates the nonlinear payoffs, or convexity, and the
volatility risk stemming from options in the Corporation's portfolio.

  Figure 1 shows the frequency distribution of Daily Price Volatility for 1996
business days for the overall Corporation.  The diagram illustrates that the
Daily Price Volatility for the overall Corporation had an approximately bell-
shaped distribution.  The distribution was centered at $39 million and ranged
between $27 million and $54 million during 1996.

Figure 1 1996 BTNY DPV Frequency Distribution(a)
 
  The figure displays a histogram. Daily Price Volatility (DPV) amounts ranging
from $27 million to $54 million appear on the horizontal axis and Frequency
amounts ranging from 0 to 25 observations are displayed on the vertical axis.
The DPV has an approximately bell shaped distribution.  The DPV reaches
frequencies of approximately 21 to 22 observations at the top portion of the
bell curve (i.e. between DPV's of $33 million and $43 million).  A portion of
the middle of the bell curve (i.e. between DPV's of $35 million and $39 million)
dips to frequencies ranging from 11 to 15 observations.  Frequencies are much
lower (from 0 to 6 observations) for DPV's at the tail ends of the curve (i.e.
within the ranges $27 million to $31 million and $46 million to $54 million).


  Table 6 shows the sensitivity of the Corporation's market-risk profile by risk
class in 1996 and 1995.  The Corporation's portfolio, on average, in 1996 was
most sensitive to changes in interest rates and equity prices.  Note that the
impact of diversification across all risk classes reduced total risk by $15
million on average in 1996.

  The table also shows that in comparison to 1995 the Corporation maintained a
modestly higher average exposure to market risk during 1996.  This increase
occurred primarily with respect to equity and interest rate risk and reflected
the Corporation's assessment of improved market opportunities in 1996 relative
to 1995.  Although average risk exposure increased during 1996, the Corporation
ended the year with relatively low risk exposures compared to both the average
for 1996 and the exposure at the end of 1995.

  The methodology underlying these Daily Price Volatility calculations and the
risk-adjusted return on capital ("RAROC") calculations described below relies on
established asset pricing and statistical models.  The Daily Price Volatility is
a loss amount that would be exceeded 1 percent of the time.  This implies that
one would expect two or three instances each year when the daily loss amount
exceeded the Daily Price Volatility.  A comparison between our Daily Price
Volatility amounts and accounting profit/loss flows for each business day during
1996 revealed no instances in which a loss greater than the Daily Price
Volatility occurred.  It is important to note that this comparison does not
represent a formal statistical test because Daily Price Volatility measures the
risk of a static portfolio, but the profits and losses occurring in any given
day reflect a changing portfolio.  Furthermore, because Daily Price Volatility
measures the potential economic variation in the Corporation's market sensitive
positions, it includes the risk of certain positions that are not marked-to-
market daily in accordance with accounting standards and that are omitted from
the portion of the Corporation's daily profit/loss flows used in this
comparison.  The absence of outliers (i.e., losses greater than Daily Price
Volatility) during 1996, however, suggests that the methodology provides a
reasonable statistical measure of the Corporation's exposure to market risk.

  The Daily Price Volatility, as a statistical measure of potential loss,
provides an objective benchmark of portfolio risk which complements, but does
not substitute for, management's judgment of the appropriate level and mix of
risk taken by the Corporation.  Furthermore, the methodology employed in the
calculation of Daily Price Volatility will change due to enhancements in risk-
assessment and information-processing technologies and as new risks are
undertaken by the Corporation.

  Daily Price Volatility is supplemented by the statistical measures of risk and
return provided by the RAROC system (discussed below), by scenario analyses
performed periodically by the risk management group, and by a formal limits
process that monitors excess concentration or exposure to liquidity risk in the
portfolio.  The RAROC system provides information on the potential effect of
large changes in interest rates, currency, equity and commodity prices, and
volatilities.  As such, it produces a stress test of the Corporation's positions
each business day.  Taken together, all of these measures and reports provide
the Corporation's senior management with timely and relevant risk information.

RAROC--Performance Measurement and Capital Adequacy

The Corporation pioneered the development of risk-based capital attribution
processes.  The Corporation's risk capital model, RAROC, is integral to
management's conceptual framework for strategic decision making.  This framework
has as its objective maximizing return on risk capital, where risk capital is
attributed to a business activity according to the level of risk it assumes.
Risk capital calculated by the RAROC framework is used to support decisions on
the allocation of human and financial resources.  In addition, the disciplined
assessment of risk in RAROC produces a benchmark for assessing capital adequacy
both for the Corporation and for its major businesses.

  The definition of risk capital produced by the RAROC process is the amount of
funds required 99 percent of the time to cover a potential after-tax loss over a
one year holding period.  Specifically, if the Corporation maintained an
absolutely static portfolio (of assets, counterparties and businesses) for one
year, there would be a 1 percent chance that the portfolio would decline in
value by more than the RAROC risk capital amount after adjusting for taxes.

  RAROC is designed to assess the following general classes of risk: market
risk, credit risk and operational risk.  Market risk is the potential loss in
economic (fair) value due to changes in interest rates, currency, equity and
commodity prices, and volatilities.  Financial instruments of the Corporation
whose fair values are functions of these market variables are included in the
assessment of market risk irrespective of accounting designation.  Credit risk
is defined as potential loss in fair value of all extensions of credit, on- and
off-balance sheet, by the Corporation.

  Operational risk is defined by the Corporation in the context of five risk
classes: Employee, Technology, Relationship/Liability, Physical Assets, and
Other External. Losses that are characterized as operational include but are not
limited to the following examples: losses due to personnel unavailability or
injury, natural disasters, the failure of external systems such as an exchange,
or a failure of internal controls.  A process using actuarial and other
proprietary models has been implemented to provide an estimate of the potential
losses from these risks.  However, by their nature, these risks are difficult to
measure or quantify and the process has less precision than approaches used for
other types of risks.

CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT

The Credit Department, headed by the Chief Credit Officer, is responsible for
developing credit policies, as well as for monitoring and managing overall
credit risk.  The department evaluates the creditworthiness of each
borrower/issuer/counterparty and assigns a rating for each.  Credit limits are
established at the portfolio level by borrower/issuer/counterparty and by other
categories.  One credit officer is responsible for reviewing the entire credit
risk portfolio of a borrower/issuer/counterparty regardless of the nature of the
exposure (e.g., loans, securities, derivatives).  Credit officers also monitor
the usage of credit risk by entity versus the limits at the product and business
activity level.  The Credit Department monitors country exposures and assigns
country risk ratings.  It also monitors country, industry,
borrower/issuer/counterparty, product and regional risk concentrations in order
to evaluate the degree of diversification in the portfolio.

  RAROC credit capital represents the translation into potential losses of the
exposure of the overall portfolio of the Corporation to default risk.  This
translation is accomplished using proprietary statistical models.  These
statistical models incorporate information on the duration of the exposure, the
potential magnitude of the exposure, and the creditworthiness of the
borrower/issuer/counterparty.  The Corporation's senior risk managers regularly
review and actively manage the credit risks at the portfolio level to ensure
that the risk characteristics and degree of diversification as reflected in
RAROC capital calculations conform with the Corporation's policies.

DERIVATIVES

Derivatives are swaps, futures, forwards, options and other similar types of
contracts based on interest rates, foreign exchange rates and the prices of
equities and commodities (or related indices).  Derivatives are generally either
privately-negotiated over-the-counter ("OTC") contracts or standard contracts
transacted through regulated exchanges. OTC contracts generally consist of
swaps, forwards and options.  In the normal course of business, with the
agreement of the original customer, OTC derivatives may be terminated or
assigned to another customer.  Exchange-traded derivatives include futures and
options.  These capital markets products are described further in Note 23 of
Notes to Supplemental Financial Statements. Derivatives may be used for either
trading or end-user purposes.

Trading Derivatives

The Corporation holds derivatives in connection with its activities as a dealer
acting as principal for particular transactions with clients, as a market maker
quoting bid and offer prices to provide liquidity and regular availability of
derivatives for clients, as a risk manager of its own trading positions
resulting from these client-driven transactions and, finally, as a position
taker in the expectation of profiting from favorable movements in prices, rates
or indices.  As a result, the Corporation may build up sizable positions in
derivatives.  The risks of derivative positions are managed in accordance with
the Corporation's risk management policies.

  Substantially all of the Corporation's derivative positions at December 31,
1996 were trading-related, with gains and losses included in trading revenue as
they occur.  Contracts with positive fair values are recorded as assets and
contracts with negative fair values are recorded as liabilities, after
application of qualifying master netting agreements.  These positions may vary
in size from period to period, similar to the positions in cash instruments also
carried in the Corporation's trading account.  Average trading assets and
trading liabilities related to derivatives during 1996 were $10.4 billion and
$11.6 billion, respectively.  The notional amounts, which are not recorded on
the balance sheet, of trading derivatives totaled $1,735 billion at December 31,
1996 and indicate the volume of activity but do not represent the Corporation's
exposure to market or credit risk.

End-User Derivatives

The Corporation utilizes end-user derivatives to manage exposures to interest
rate, foreign currency and equity market risks associated with certain
liabilities and assets such as interest-bearing deposits, short-term borrowings
and long-term debt, as well as securities available for sale, loans, investments
in non-marketable equity securities and net investments in foreign subsidiaries.
For example, the Corporation's Treasury Department, which manages the majority
of the Corporation's end-user derivatives, utilizes certain instruments
(principally interest rate swaps) to transform fixed-rate-paying liabilities
into variable-rate-paying liabilities.  See Note 25 and Note 23 of Notes to
Supplemental Financial Statements for the fair value of end-user derivatives and
related financial instruments and additional end-user information.  The notional
amounts, which are not recorded on the balance sheet, of end-user derivatives
totaled $68 billion at December 31, 1996 and indicate the volume of activity but
do not represent the Corporation's exposure to market or credit risk.  These
contracts represent less than 4 percent of the aggregate notional amounts of all
derivatives outstanding at year end.

Market Risk

The market risk of derivatives arises principally from the potential for changes
in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and equity and commodity prices and
is generally similar to the market risk of the cash instruments underlying the
contracts.  The market risk to the Corporation is not measured by the price
sensitivity of the individual contracts, but by the net price sensitivity of the
relevant portfolio, including cash instruments.  The Corporation generally
manages its exposures by taking risk-offsetting positions.  Therefore, the
Corporation believes it is not meaningful to view the market

                                       28
<PAGE>
 
risk of derivatives in isolation.  Market exposures arising from derivatives are
monitored in the Corporation's RAROC system and are included in the Daily Price
Volatility amounts discussed in the preceding Risk Management section.

Liquidity Risk

In times of stress, sharp price movements or volatility shocks may reduce
liquidity in certain derivatives positions, as well as in cash instruments.  The
liquidity risk of derivatives is substantially based on the liquidity of the
underlying cash instrument, which affects the ability of the Corporation to
alter the risk profile of its positions rapidly and at a reasonable cost.  The
Corporation's mark-to-market practices for derivatives include adjustments in
consideration of liquidity risks, when appropriate.  These practices are
consistent with those applied to the Corporation's trading positions in cash
instruments.

Derivatives-Related Credit Risk

Derivative transactions create dynamic credit exposure which changes as markets
move.  The credit risk of derivatives arises from the potential for a customer
to default on its contractual obligations.  Accordingly, credit risk related to
derivatives depends on the following: the current fair value of the contracts
with the customer; the potential credit exposure over time; the extent to which
legally enforceable netting arrangements allow the fair value of offsetting
contracts with that customer to be netted against each other; the extent to
which collateral held against the contracts reduces credit risk exposure; and
the likelihood of default by the customer.

  The Corporation monitors and manages the credit risk associated with
derivatives by applying a uniform credit process for all credit exposures.  The
credit risk of derivatives is included in the Corporation's centralized credit
management and RAROC systems.  In order to reduce derivatives-related credit
risk, the Corporation enters into master netting agreements that provide for
offsetting of all contracts under each such agreement and obtains collateral
where appropriate.  Such master netting agreements contemplate payment netting
as well as the net settlement of all covered contracts through a single payment
in a single currency with the same counterparty in the event that a default
(including insolvency) under the agreement occurs.  The Corporation monitors
credit risk exposure on a gross and a net basis and on a collateralized and an
uncollateralized basis, as appropriate.

  Table 7 summarizes the Corporation's derivatives-related credit risk. It
displays, by internal rating, the Corporation's current credit risk to
customers.  The majority of the Corporation's derivative transactions are with
foreign and U.S. commercial banks, as well as corporations, governments and
their agencies, securities firms and other financial institutions.  Current
credit risk is calculated based on the current replacement cost of outstanding
positions with customers in OTC derivative financial instruments.  The gross
replacement cost of a derivative portfolio with a customer is the positive mark-
to-market value of all transactions with that customer without the effects of
netting or collateral arrangements.  The replacement costs, after netting and
collateral, of $9.487 billion more accurately portray the credit risk associated
with the Corporation's derivatives activities with external customers at
December 31, 1996 than do the gross replacement costs.  The increase compared to
1995 was predominantly related to short-term foreign exchange forward contracts
with foreign and U.S. commercial bank counterparties. Approximately 92 percent
of the derivatives-related credit risk at December 31, 1996 was to investment-
grade customers.

  Internal ratings are based upon the Corporation's assessment of the customer's
creditworthiness.  Ratings of 1 to 4 generally equate to investment-grade
ratings (BBB/Baa and higher) from rating agencies in the U.S. markets.  A rating
of 5 usually approximates long-term debt ratings of BB/Ba.  Ratings of 6 to 8

monitoring by the Credit Audit Department.  Factors such as guarantors and
collateral held, as well as the impact of country risk on private foreign
companies, may differentiate the Corporation's ratings from those of the rating
agencies.

  The Corporation applies netting based upon the criteria prescribed by
Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. 39 ("FIN 39"),
"Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts," which provides that
offsetting is appropriate where the available evidence indicates that there are
reasonable assurances that the right of setoff contained in a master netting
agreement governing derivatives contracts would be upheld after default,
including in the event of the customer's bankruptcy.

  Collateral also reduces credit risk.  The Corporation generally accepts
collateral in the form of cash, U.S. Treasuries, and other approved securities
(generally, only liquid, marketable, publicly-traded securities are acceptable).

  The Corporation's allowance for credit losses is available for credit losses
related to derivatives contracts.  Derivatives are considered by the Credit
Audit Department when it reviews both general and specific credit risks in the
Corporation's portfolio.  Net charge-offs to the allowance that were related to
derivative contracts totaled $22 million during 1996 and $240 million during
1995 (see Leveraged Derivative Transactions section below).

  The international bank regulatory standards for risk-based capital consider
the credit risk arising from derivatives in the assessment of capital adequacy.
These standards were issued under the Basle Capital Accord of July 1988 and
adopted in 1989 by the U.S. bank regulators, including the Federal Reserve
Board.  These standards use a formula-based assessment of customer credit risk
which, as amended at year-end 1995, reflect the credit-risk-reducing impact of
legally enforceable master netting agreements.  These standards include a
calculation for estimating the potential future credit exposure caused by
potential price volatility (the "add-on").  At December 31, 1996, this add-on
was $9.0 billion before application of risk weightings, of which 91 percent, 8
percent, and 1 percent related to customers internally rated 1 to 4, 5, and 6 to
8, respectively. At December 31, 1996, the risk-weighted amounts (reflecting
both current and potential future credit exposure) that were calculated based on
these international standards for derivative financial instruments aggregated to
$6.1 billion.

  Presented in Table 8 below is a maturity profile of the Corporation's trading
derivative products.  This profile indicates the extent of the Corporation's
involvement in derivative transactions of specific maturities and also provides
the basis for calculating the estimate of potential future credit exposure (the
add-on) under the international bank regulatory standards.  The percentages in
Table 8 are based on notional amounts which do not necessarily represent cash
flows and do not represent a quantification of the market risk or credit risk of
these positions.

    contracts for which the fair values are recorded as trading assets and as

    transactions are reflected above.
(2) Presented in accordance with the risk-based capital standards, this maturity
    profile does not include futures contracts, spot foreign exchange contracts,
    or options written. These types of contracts are considered in the
    Corporation's market and credit risk management processes.

Leveraged Derivative Transactions

A leveraged derivative transaction is a specific type of derivative financial
instrument containing a formula or multiplier which, for any given change in
market prices, could cause the change in the transaction's fair value to be
significantly different from the change in fair value that would occur for a
similar transaction without the formula or multiplier.  Cash instruments
(including structured notes) with embedded forward or option features and all
former leveraged derivative transactions that are now included in the loan
portfolio are excluded from the foregoing definition.  The Corporation's
leveraged derivative transactions are carried at fair value in the trading
portfolio on the consolidated balance sheet and changes in fair value are
reported in trading revenue as they occur.  The Corporation's leveraged
derivative transactions are affected by the same general market risks as the
trading portfolio as a whole and are subject to the risk management policies
outlined in the preceding section.

  During 1996 no material leveraged derivative transactions were reclassified to
the loan portfolio at amounts equal to or less than the contractual amounts due,
compared to $33 million in 1995.  These transactions are not included in Tables
7 and 8.  In 1996, $26 million of these leveraged derivative loans were charged-
off to the allowance for credit losses, compared to $245 million in 1995.
Amounts charged to trading revenue resulting from settlements of leveraged
derivative transactions remaining in the trading portfolio were immaterial in
1996.  At December 31, 1996 the balance included in loans after charge-offs and
cash collections was $20 million of which $12 million was classified as cash
basis loans.

SUMMARY OF CREDIT LOSS EXPERIENCE

Charge-Off Procedures and Adequacy of the Allowance for Credit Losses

As part of the Corporation's overall management and control process, the Credit
Audit Department is charged with the responsibility for performing an ongoing
independent examination of the portfolio.  Counterparty risk exposure is
analyzed across all product lines including loans, credit-related commitments,
derivatives and other financial instruments.  All significant items in the
portfolio are reviewed annually; those under special supervision, such as cash
basis loans and renegotiated loans, are reviewed quarterly.  In addition, all
levels of management are required to bring to the attention of the Credit Audit
Department any credit risk where an additional review of the counterparty's
financial position is believed to be warranted.  The Credit Audit Department
reports at least quarterly to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors
which, in turn, reports to the full Board of Directors, with recommendations for
charge-offs.  The Board has the final decision-making responsibility in
authorizing charge-offs.

  In addition to the above procedures, federal and State of New York bank
examiners perform examinations of the Corporation's credit risks.  The reports
on these examinations are reviewed by the Credit Audit Department with the Audit
Committee.

  The provision for credit losses is dependent upon management's evaluation as
to the amount needed to maintain the allowance for credit losses at a level
considered appropriate in relation to the risk of losses inherent in the
portfolio.  Various factors are collectively weighed by management in
determining the adequacy of the allowance.  The Credit Audit Department and bank
regulatory authorities assess and issue reports on the quality of the portfolio
and on the adequacy of the allowance.  As part of their annual audit, the
Corporation's independent auditors assess the adequacy of the allowance and the
provision for credit losses.  Their procedures include discussions with
management, a review of selected credit files and an evaluation of the periodic
reports issued by the Credit Audit Department and regulatory examiners.

  In the opinion of management, the allowance, when taken as a whole, is
adequate to absorb reasonably estimated credit losses inherent in the
Corporation's portfolio.

Provision and Allowance for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses amounted to $5 million for 1996, compared with
$31 million for 1995 and $25 million in 1994.

  The total allowance for credit losses decreased to $973 million at December
31, 1996, from $992 million at year end 1995 and $1.252 billion at December 31,
1994.  Beginning December 31, 1996, in accordance with the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants Banks and Savings Institutions Audit Guide, the
Corporation has allocated its total allowance for credit losses as follows: $773
million as a reduction of loans, and $200 million as other liabilities related
to other credit-related items.  The Corporation continues to believe that the
total allowance for credit losses is available for credit losses in its entire
portfolio, which is comprised of loans, credit-related commitments, derivatives
and other financial instruments.  Due to a multitude of complex and changing
factors that are collectively weighed in determining the adequacy of the
allowance for credit losses, management expects that the allocation of the total
allowance for credit losses may be adjusted as risk factors change.  Prior year
amounts have not been restated.

  Pursuant to a regulatory requirement, the table below provides the components
of the allowance for credit losses by category.  This breakdown of the allowance
at each year end reflects management's best estimate of possible credit losses
and may not necessarily be indicative of actual future charge-offs (in
millions).

* The December 31, 1996 amount represents the international component of the
  allowance for credit losses that has been allocated to loans.

  The $75 million reallocation during 1996 and the $128 million reallocation
during 1995, from the international to the domestic component of the allowance
for credit losses, was based on the continuing evaluation of the Corporation's
overall credit portfolio.

(1) The 1996 ratio was computed using the $773 million allowance for credit
    losses that has been allocated to loans.
(2) Represents loans 90 days or more past due with respect to interest or
    principal. These loans were considered to be well secured and were in the
    process of collection. The December 31, 1993 and 1992 balances include $15
    million and $66 million of international loans, respectively.

  Each quarter an extensive review is performed by the Credit Audit Department
and senior credit management of all cash basis loans and classified assets.
Each borrower/counterparty is evaluated to determine whether it represents a
potential loss.  Whenever the probability of loss is believed to be greater than
50 percent, a charge-off of the amount deemed uncollectible is recommended to
the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.  Once a charge-off is taken the
remaining portion, if any, is immediately placed on a cash basis.  If the
probability of loss is believed to be less than 50 percent, but collection or
liquidation in full is questionable if present trends continue, the asset is
classified as doubtful.  It is the Corporation's policy to place all assets
classified as doubtful on a cash basis, even if the borrower is still making
required payments.  In addition, it is generally the Corporation's policy that
loans be immediately placed on a cash basis when they become 90 days past due
with respect to interest or principal.

  The Corporation's total cash basis loans amounted to $452 million at December
31, 1996, a decrease of $292 million, or 39 percent, from 1995, which had
decreased $252 million, or 25 percent, from 1994.

  Cash basis loans decreased $292 million during 1996, primarily due to
collections and charge-offs in connection with the settlement of old derivative
transactions of $109 million, which were primarily classified as commercial and
industrial loans, as well as a $90 million decrease in loans secured by real
estate and an $87 million decrease in various other commercial and industrial
loans.

  Within cash basis loans, loans secured by real estate were $272 million at
December 31, 1996. Commercial and industrial loans to highly leveraged borrowers
decreased $36 million to $117 million.

 An analysis of the changes in the Corporation's total cash basis loans follows:

</TABLE>

  Cash basis loans decreased $252 million during 1995, primarily due to charge-
offs of $245 million and payments of $81 million on cash basis leveraged
derivative transactions.  These were partially offset by additional transfers of
leveraged derivative transactions to cash basis loans of $79 million.

  Within cash basis loans, loans secured by real estate increased by $6 million,
to $362 million during 1995.  Also included in cash basis loans were commercial
and industrial loans to highly leveraged borrowers which increased $3 million,
to $153 million at December 31, 1995.

                                       38
<PAGE>
 
  Renegotiated loans decreased to $37 million at December 31, 1996 due to $63
million of transfers to cash basis loans.  In 1995, renegotiated loans increased
$34 million primarily due to an increase in loans secured by real estate of $23
million.

  Other real estate decreased $46 million to $213 million at December 31, 1996.
The decrease was primarily attributable to $73 million of sales of properties
offset by an additional $24 million of foreclosed properties during 1996.

  Other real estate decreased $42 million during 1995 primarily as a result of
the adoption of SFAS 114 during the first quarter of 1995.  SFAS 114 required
the transfer of in-substance foreclosed properties, where the Corporation had
not taken possession of the collateral, to cash basis loans.

SPECIAL PORTFOLIO SEGMENTS
REAL ESTATE PORTFOLIO

The global real estate loan portfolio totaled $2.002 billion at December 31,
1996.  This included domestic loans secured by real estate of $1.695 billion,
international loans secured by real estate of $130 million, and total real
estate related loans of $177 million.  The largest geographic concentration
within loans secured by real estate was in properties in the Mid-Atlantic
region, at 25 percent, of which New York City and its suburbs comprised
approximately 57 percent.  The next largest geographic concentrations were loans
secured by properties in California, Texas and the Southeast region, which
comprised 19 percent, 12 percent and 11 percent of the total, respectively.  The
largest product-type concentrations were loans secured by office buildings,
apartments, and 1-4 family residential properties at 24 percent, 19 percent and
11 percent, respectively.  All other concentrations were individually less than
11 percent of total loans secured by real estate.  Approximately 50 percent of
the loans secured by real estate were purchased in the secondary market.  These
were comprised primarily of domestic commercial real estate loans.  Real estate
related loans consist of loans made for any purpose to organizations or
individuals, 80 percent of whose revenues or assets are derived from or consist
of real estate ventures or holdings, that are not collateralized by cash or
marketable securities and are not secured by real estate.  The Corporation was
also obligated under $239 million of standby letters of credit and $155 million
of unused commitments to extend credit in connection with its commercial real
estate financing activities at December 31, 1996.

  Because of the diversity of the portfolio, the risks of real estate lending
reflect both general and local economic conditions.  Management closely monitors
the portfolio, and formal reviews are conducted at least annually, with many
exposures reviewed quarterly.  Table 11 details the global real estate portfolio
at December 31, 1996 (in millions).

HIGHLY LEVERAGED TRANSACTIONS

For purposes of monitoring the extent of its exposure to highly leveraged
transactions ("HLTs"), the Corporation utilizes the following definition.  HLTs
are financing transactions the purpose of which involves a buyout, acquisition
or recapitalization and which (i) doubles the subject company's liabilities and
results in a leverage ratio higher than 50 percent or (ii) results in a leverage
ratio higher than 75 percent or (iii) is designated a HLT by a syndication
agent.  Borrowers are delisted from HLT status when (1) cash flow tests,
relative to their industry or peer group, are met, or (2) they are no longer
highly leveraged upon emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy or similar
proceeding.  In addition, certain loans which are fully collateralized by cash
or cash equivalent securities are excluded from HLT reporting.

  Amounts included in the table and discussion which follow generally reflect
the above definition.

</TABLE>

  The Corporation's outstanding loans were to 127 separate borrowers in 43
separate industry groups at December 31, 1996, compared to 97 separate borrowers
in 38 separate industry groups at December 31, 1995.  There were no industry
concentrations which exceeded 10 percent of total HLT loans outstanding at
December 31, 1996.

  In addition to the amounts shown in Table 12, at December 31, 1996, the
Corporation had issued commitment letters which had been accepted, subject to
documentation and certain other conditions, of $749 million (which were in
various stages of syndication) and had additional HLTs in various stages of
discussion and negotiation.

  During 1996, the Corporation originated $5.4 billion of HLT commitments.  It
should be noted that the Corporation's loans and commitments in connection with
HLTs fluctuate as new loans and commitments are made and as loans and
commitments are syndicated, participated or paid.

  All loans and commitments to finance HLTs are reviewed and approved by senior
credit officers of the Corporation.  In addition to a strict transactional and
credit approval process, the portfolio of leveraged loans and commitments is
actively monitored and managed to minimize risk through diversification among
borrowers and industries.  As part of this strategy, sell and hold targets are
regularly updated in connection with market opportunities and the addition of
new HLTs.  Retention by the Corporation after syndication and sales of loan
participations has typically been less than $50 million, and the average
outstanding per borrower for the portfolio at December 31, 1996 was less than
$14 million.  However, at December 31, 1996, the Corporation had total exposure
(loans outstanding plus unfunded commitments) in excess of $50 million to 7
separate highly leveraged borrowers.

<PAGE>
 
  At December 31, 1996, $117 million of the HLT loan portfolio was on a cash
basis. In addition, $4 million of the equity investments in HLT companies
represented assets acquired in credit workouts, which are reported as other
nonperforming assets.  Net charge-offs of $11 million of HLT loans were recorded
in 1996.  In addition, the Corporation recorded a net gain of $143 million in
connection with the sales and/or write-offs of certain equity investments in
highly leveraged companies during 1996.

  Generally, fees (typically 2 to 4 percent of the principal amount committed)
and interest charged (typically LIBOR plus 1.5 to 3 percent) on HLT loans are
higher than on other credits.  The Corporation does not account for revenue or
expenses from HLTs separately from its other corporate lending activities.
However, it is estimated that transaction fees recognized for lending activities
relating to highly leveraged transactions were approximately $120 million during
1996 and that as of December 31, 1996, approximately $24 million of fees were
deferred and will be recognized as future revenue.

CROSS-BORDER OUTSTANDINGS

The Corporation's cross-border outstandings reflect certain additional economic
and political risks beyond those associated with its domestic outstandings.
These risks include those arising from exchange rate fluctuations, restrictions
on the transfer of funds and balance-of-payments issues.

  Set forth in Table 13 are the Corporation's cross-border outstandings at
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, for each foreign country where such
outstandings exceeded one percent of total assets.  The cross-border
outstandings were compiled based upon category and domicile of ultimate risk and
are comprised of balances with banks, trading securities, securities available
for sale, securities purchased under resale agreements, loans, accrued interest
receivable, acceptances outstanding and investments with foreign entities.  The
amounts outstanding for each country exclude local currency outstandings.  The
Corporation does not have significant local currency outstandings to the
individual countries listed in the following table that are not hedged or are
not funded by local currency borrowings.

ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS

In June 1996, the FASB issued SFAS 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing
of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities."  SFAS 125 establishes,
among other things, criteria for determining whether a transfer of financial
assets is a sale or a secured borrowing.  As issued, SFAS 125 is effective for
all transfers occurring after December 31, 1996.

  In December 1996, the FASB issued SFAS 127 which defers for one year the
effective date of some portions of SFAS 125 which relate to collateral,
repurchase agreements, dollar-rolls, securities lending and similar
transactions.

  The adoption as of January 1, 1997 of the effective portions of SFAS 125 will
not have a material impact on the Corporation's net income, stockholders' equity
or total assets.  The Corporation is continuing to assess the impact of the
portions of SFAS 125 required to be adopted as of January 1, 1998, and does not
expect a material impact on the Corporation's net income, stockholders' equity
or total assets.

In February, 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 128, "Earnings per Share" ("SFAS No. 128").  SFAS No. 128 establishes
standards for computing and presenting earnings per share ("EPS").  SFAS No. 128
replaces the presentation of primary EPS with basic EPS and fully diluted EPS
with diluted EPS.  Basic EPS excludes dilution and is calculated by dividing
income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS is computed similarly to fully
diluted EPS.

    SFAS No. 128 is effective for financial statement periods ending after
December 15, 1997, and requires restatement of all prior period EPS data.  The
adoption of SFAS No. 128 is not expected to have a material impact on the
Corporation's fully diluted EPS computations.

NOTES TO SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1--DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Merger

On September 1, 1997, Alex. Brown Incorporated ("Alex. Brown") was merged into a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Bankers Trust New York Corporation (the "Merger").
In conjunction with the Merger, each share of Alex. Brown common stock then
outstanding was converted into 0.83 shares of Bankers Trust New York
Corporation's common stock (the "Exchange Ratio").  The Merger was treated as a
tax free exchange.

  The supplemental consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to
the Merger in a transaction accounted for as a pooling of interests.  The
pooling of interests method of accounting requires the restatement of all
periods presented as if Alex. Brown and Bankers Trust New York Corporation had
always been combined.  Generally accepted accounting principles proscribe giving
effect to a consummated business combination accounted for by the pooling of
interests method in financial statements that do not include the date of
consummation.  The supplemental consolidated financial statements do not extend
through the date of consummation.  However, they will become the historical
consolidated financial statements of Bankers Trust New York Corporation together
with its subsidiaries (the "Corporation" or the "Firm") after financial
statements covering the date of consummation of the business combination are
issued.  The supplemental consolidated statement of changes in stockholders'
equity reflects the accounts of the Corporation as if the additional common
stock had been issued during all the periods presented. The supplemental
consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, should be read
in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements of Alex.
Brown and Bankers Trust New York Corporation, included in their Annual Reports
on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1996.

The Corporation

The Corporation is a global provider of a wide range of financial services.  The
accounting policies of the Corporation conform with generally accepted
accounting principles and prevailing industry practices.  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 balance sheet date, and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from
management's estimates.  The following is a description of the significant
accounting policies of the Corporation.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of the Corporation include Bankers Trust
New York Corporation (the "Parent Company"), Bankers Trust Company and its
subsidiaries ("BTCo") and all other significant, majority-owned subsidiaries,
after elimination of material intercompany transactions and accounts.  Other
companies in which there is at least 20 percent ownership are accounted for in
accordance with the equity method of accounting.  These investments are reported
in other assets and the related equity income or loss, as well as disposition
gains and losses, is included in other noninterest revenue.

Resale and Repurchase Agreements; Securities Borrowed

Resale and repurchase agreements are generally treated as collateralized
financing transactions and are carried at the amounts at which the securities
were initially acquired or sold.  The Corporation generally takes possession of
securities purchased under resale agreements, which are primarily U.S.
government and federal agency securities and other OECD country sovereign bonds,
monitors their fair value and requests additional collateral when deemed
appropriate.  The Corporation offsets resale and repurchase agreements which
meet the applicable netting criteria.

                                       51
<PAGE>
 
  Securities borrowed that are cash collateralized are recorded at the amount of
cash collateral deposited with the lender.  The Corporation monitors its market
exposure with respect to securities borrowed transactions daily and requests the
return of excess collateral as required.

Trading Securities; Securities Available for Sale
The Corporation designates securities as either trading or available for sale at
the date of acquisition.

  Debt and marketable equity securities and money market instruments which are
classified as trading assets, as well as short trading positions which are
classified as trading liabilities are carried at their fair values with the
resulting gains and losses included in trading revenue.

  Securities available for sale, including applicable hedges, are valued at fair
value with the resulting net unrealized gains or losses recorded in
stockholders' equity as securities valuation allowance.  Realized gains and
losses, as well as the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, are
recorded in earnings.  The specific identification method is used to determine
the cost of securities sold.

 Fair value is generally based on quoted market prices or broker or dealer price
quotations.


Derivatives
Swaps, futures contracts, forward commitments, options and other similar types
of contracts and commitments based on either interest rates or foreign exchange
rates, as well as equity and commodity derivatives, are traded by the
Corporation and are carried at their fair values as either trading assets or
trading liabilities.  Fair values for derivatives are based on quoted market
prices or pricing models which take into account current market and contractual
prices of the underlying instruments, as well as time value and yield curve or
volatility factors underlying the positions.  Unrealized gains and losses are
reported as assets and liabilities except for gains and losses arising from
contracts covered by qualifying master netting agreements which are reported on
a net basis.  Gains and losses resulting from these positions are included in
trading revenue.

  In addition to its trading activities, the Corporation, as an end user,
utilizes various types of derivative products (principally interest rate and
currency swaps) to manage the interest rate, currency and other market risks
arising from a number of categories of its assets and liabilities.  Derivatives
used to manage such risks must be designated as a hedge at their inception and
must remain effective as a hedge throughout the hedge period. Revenue or expense
pertaining to management of interest rate exposure is predominantly recognized
over the life of the contract as an adjustment to interest revenue or expense.
Realized gains and losses on hedges of equities classified as other assets are
included in the carrying amounts of those assets and are ultimately recognized
in income when those assets are sold.  Derivatives are also used to manage the
risks associated with securities available for sale.  These derivatives are
carried at fair value with the resulting net unrealized gains and losses
recorded in stockholders' equity as securities valuation allowance.  The
discount or premium on foreign exchange forward contracts and the interest on
swaps used as hedges of net investments in foreign entities, as well as the net
unrealized gains and losses from revaluing these contracts to the spot exchange
rates, are recorded in stockholders' equity as cumulative translation
adjustments.

                                       52

Loans, Other Real Estate and  Other Nonperforming Assets

Loans generally are stated at their outstanding unpaid principal balances net of
any deferred fees on originated loans, or unamortized premiums or discounts on
purchased loans.  Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance.
Loan origination fees are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the yield
(interest income) of the related loans.

  Generally, when a loan is in default as to payment of principal or interest
for 90 days or when, in the judgment of management, the accrual of interest
should be ceased before 90 days, it is the Corporation's policy to place such a
loan on a "cash basis."  In addition, all loans classified as doubtful and all
partially charged-off loans are placed on a cash basis, even if the borrower is
still making required payments.  Any accrued but unpaid interest previously
recorded on cash basis loans is reversed against current period interest
revenue.  Cash receipts of interest on cash basis loans are recorded as either
revenue or a reduction of principal, according to management's judgment as to
the collectibility of principal.

  Renegotiated loans are those which have been renegotiated to an effective
interest rate lower than the then-current market rate because of a deterioration
in the financial position of the borrower.  Interest on such loans is accrued at
the renegotiated rate.

  Other real estate and other assets acquired in credit work-outs, are recorded
at the lower of fair value or the recorded investment in the related loan and
are classified as other assets.  Any excess of the recorded investment in the
loan over the fair value of the asset acquired is accounted for as a charge to
the allowance for credit losses.

Allowance For Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses is available for credit losses arising from the
Corporation's portfolio which comprises loans, credit-related commitments,
derivatives and other financial instruments.  Whenever the Credit Audit
Department determines that the probability of loss is greater than 50 percent, a
charge-off of the amount deemed uncollectible is recommended to the Audit
Committee of the Board of Directors.  Subsequent recoveries, if any, are
credited to the allowance.

  Included in the allowance for credit losses is a valuation allowance for
impaired loans. A loan is impaired when, based on current information and
events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due
according to the loan's contractual terms.  Impairment is measured based on one
of the following: the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at
the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's observable market price or the
fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

  A multitude of complex and changing factors are collectively weighed by
management in determining the adequacy of the allowance.  These factors include
management's review of the extent of existing risks in the portfolio and of
prevailing economic conditions, evaluations of the quality of the portfolio by
the Credit Audit Department and by the bank regulatory authorities, and the
actual loss experience and the level of the allowance.  Assessing the adequacy
of the allowance for credit losses is inherently subjective as it requires
making material estimates, including the amount and timing of future cash flows
expected to be received on impaired loans, that may be susceptible to
significant change.  In the opinion of management, the allowance, when taken as
a whole, is adequate to absorb reasonably estimated credit losses inherent in
the Corporation's entire portfolio.

  Beginning December 31, 1996, in accordance with the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants' Banks and Savings Institutions Audit and
Accounting Guide, the Corporation has allocated its total allowance for credit
losses to a portion reported as a reduction of loans and a portion related to
other credit-related items reported as other

                                       53
<PAGE>
 
liabilities. Prior year amounts have not been restated. Due to the inherent
subjectivity in assessing the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses
discussed above, management expects that the allocation of the total allowance
for credit losses may be adjusted as risk factors change.

Customer Receivables

Customer receivables include amounts due on uncompleted transactions and margin
balances.  Securities owned by customers and held as collateral for these
receivables are not reflected in the financial statements.

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment owned are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation
and amortization.  Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over
the estimated useful lives of the assets.  Leasehold improvements are amortized
on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases or the estimated useful
lives of the improvements, whichever are shorter.  Maintenance and repairs are
charged to expense and improvements are capitalized.  Gains and losses on
dispositions are generally reflected in earnings.

  Leased properties meeting certain criteria are capitalized and amortized using
the straight-line method over the terms of the leases.

Insurance Revenue and Expense

For the Corporation's life insurance subsidiaries, premiums are recognized as
revenue over the premium paying period of the related disability, annuity and
other life insurance policies and are recorded in noninterest revenue as
insurance premiums. Liabilities for future insurance benefits and the related
provision for policyholder benefits reflect the present value of actuarially
determined obligations net of future premiums.  The liabilities for future
benefits are included in other liabilities and the expense recorded in
noninterest expenses as provision for policyholder benefits.

Income Taxes

The Corporation recognizes the current and deferred tax consequences of all
transactions that have been recognized in the financial statements using the
provisions of the enacted tax laws.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences.  The
amount of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, to the amount that,
based on available evidence, will more likely than not be realized.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Corporation accounts for its stock option awards under the intrinsic value
based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."  Under the intrinsic value based
method, compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of
the stock at grant date or other measurement date over the amount an employee
must pay to acquire the stock.  The Corporation makes pro forma disclosures of
net income and earnings per share as if the fair value based method of
accounting had been applied as required by Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation."

  The Corporation records its obligations under outstanding deferred stock
awards in stockholders' equity as common stock issuable-stock awards.  The
related deferred compensation is also included in stockholders' equity.  These
classifications are based upon the Corporation's intent to settle these awards
with its common stock.

                                       54
<PAGE>
 
Statement of Cash Flows

For purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, the Corporation's cash
and cash equivalents are cash and due from banks.  Net cash flows from
instruments such as futures, forwards, options and swaps used to hedge assets or
liabilities are classified as cash flows from operating activities.

  The Corporation reports the cash flows from loans made to customers and
principal collected on loans, as well as from interest-bearing deposits accepted
and repaid by its bank subsidiaries, on a net basis.  Since the gross cash flows
from the Corporation's nonbank subsidiaries' loans and interest-bearing deposits
are not significant to the consolidated statement, such cash flows are also
reported on a net basis.

Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current
presentation.

NOTE 2--CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

Loan Impairment

On January 1, 1995, the Corporation adopted SFAS 114, "Accounting by Creditors
for Impairment of a Loan."  This statement, as amended by SFAS 118, "Accounting
for Impairment of a Loan--Income Recognition and Disclosures," requires the
creation of a valuation allowance for impaired loans based on one of the
following: the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the
loan's effective interest rate, the loan's observable market price or the fair
value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.  Under SFAS 114, a
loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable
that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the
loan's contractual terms.  Adoption of this standard resulted in an allocation
of a portion of the existing allowance for credit losses to a specific valuation
allowance for impaired loans.

  Additionally, under SFAS 114, a loan is classified as in-substance foreclosure
when physical possession of the collateral has been taken regardless of whether
formal foreclosure proceedings have taken place. As a result, during the first
quarter of 1995, loans previously classified as other real estate but for which
the Corporation had not taken possession of the collateral were transferred to
cash basis loans.  This reclassification did not impact the Corporation's
financial condition or results of operations.

  The following table sets forth the approximate effect on interest revenue of
cash basis loans and renegotiated loans.  This disclosure reflects the interest
on loans which were carried on the balance sheet and classified as either cash
basis or renegotiated at December 31 of each year.  The rates used in
determining the gross amount of interest which would have been recorded at the
original rate were not necessarily representative of current market rates.

  On January 1, 1995, the Corporation adopted SFAS 114.  This statement, as
amended by SFAS 118, requires the creation of a valuation allowance for impaired
loans.  A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is
probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to
the loan's contractual terms. At December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the
recorded investment in loans that was considered to be impaired under SFAS 114
was $489 million and $844 million, respectively, which consisted of total cash
basis loans and renegotiated loans.  Included in these amounts were $227 million
and $458 million of loans which required a valuation allowance of $57 million
and $90 million at those same dates, respectively.  The average recorded
investment in impaired loans during the years ended December 31, 1996 and
December 31, 1995 was approximately $633 million and $951 million, respectively.
For the years ended December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the Corporation
recognized interest income on impaired loans of $7 million and $13 million,
respectively, using the cash basis method of income recognition described above
and in Note 1.  Also as a result of the adoption of SFAS 114, $35 million of in-
substance foreclosed properties were transferred from other real estate to cash
basis loans for the year ended December 31, 1995.

NOTE 8--SECURITIES SOLD UNDER REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS AND OTHER SHORT-TERM
BORROWINGS

Short-term borrowings are borrowed funds generally with an original maturity of
one year or less.  Debt instruments which contain a provision for early
redemption, exercisable at the option of the security holder, are classified on
the basis of the earliest possible redemption date.

  Securities sold under repurchase agreements and federal funds purchased
generally mature in one day; commercial paper generally matures within 90 days.

 The details of these borrowings for the years 1996, 1995 and 1994 are presented
below:

NOTE 9--LONG-TERM DEBT

In accordance with the Federal Reserve Board's Capital Adequacy Guidelines,
long-term debt included in risk-based capital must meet specific criteria.
Generally, qualifying debt must be unsecured, subordinated and have an original
weighted-average maturity of at least five years.  Additionally, the outstanding
amount of long-term debt included in risk-based capital is reduced as these
issues approach maturity.  That is, one-fifth of the original issue is amortized
each year during the last five years before maturity.

  Long-term debt included in risk-based capital and other long-term debt are
summarized as follows, based on the contractual terms of each issue:

  Based solely on the contractual terms of the debt issues, at December 31, 1996
and 1995 the Corporation's total fixed rate long-term debt had a weighted
average interest rate of 7.28 percent and 7.51 percent, respectively.

  The Corporation has entered into interest rate and currency swap agreements
for many of its long-term debt issues, in order to manage its interest rate and
currency risks.

  The interest rates for the floating rate debt issues and the fixed rate debt
issues effectively converted to floating are generally based on LIBOR, although
in certain instances they are subject to minimum interest rates as specified in
the agreements governing the respective issues.

                                       67

  The weighted average effective interest rates for total long-term debt,
including the effects of the related swap agreements, were 5.90 percent and 6.40
percent at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

  The Corporation issued $25 million convertible subordinated debentures in June
1986.  The debentures are due June 2001, bear interest at 5 3/4% and are
convertible into the Corporation's common stock at the rate of one share of
common stock for each $20.90 of principal amount of debentures.  The
debentures are redeemable at the option of the Corporation at 100.5% through
June 11, 1997 and at par thereafter.  During 1996 and 1995, $75,000 and
$13,040,000 par value, respectively, of the debentures were converted into 3,586
and 623,685 shares, respectively, of the Corporation's common stock.

  Mandatory convertible securities (equity commitment and equity contract notes)
include covenants requiring the Parent Company, from time to time or at
maturity, as appropriate, to issue common stock or other securities in an amount
equal to the principal amount of the debt securities, in order to comply with
capital adequacy guidelines.  In this regard, at December 31, 1996 and 1995, the
Parent Company had dedicated $448 million and $598 million, respectively of net
proceeds from such issuances.

  At December 31, 1996 and 1995, certain subsidiaries of Bankers Trust Company
had outstanding $2.76 billion and $2.94 billion, respectively of mandatory
redeemable preference securities as included in the table above which are not
included in risk-based capital.  Maturities at December 31, 1996 range from
March 1997 to October 2002 and maturities at December 31, 1995 range from
September 1996 to December 2003.

NOTE 11--PREFERRED STOCK OF SUBSIDIARY

On January 22, 1993, BT Overseas Finance N. V. ("BTOF"), an indirect, wholly-
owned subsidiary of the Parent Company authorized to issue 10,000 preferred
shares, $.01 par value, issued $250 million, or 2,500 shares, of Auction Rate
Cumulative Preferred Stock in four series of 625 shares each--Series A-D ("BTOF
Preferred").  The BTOF Preferred has contingent voting rights and a liquidation
preference of $100,000 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends.  Each of
the four series is identical, except that dividend rates and dividend payment
dates vary and separate auctions on different auction dates are held for each
series.

  The shares of each series of BTOF Preferred are redeemable, in whole but not
in part, except under certain circumstances, at the option of BTOF at a
redemption price of $100,000 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends to the
date of redemption.

  Dividends on each series of BTOF Preferred are cumulative and payable
generally every 28 days at a rate per annum determined by auction.  The rate for
any dividend period is subject to a minimum rate, in certain circumstances,
based upon the "AA" Corporate Commercial Paper Rate and a maximum rate based
upon selected short- and long-term U.S. Treasury securities as determined at the
particular auction date. For the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, the
composite average dividend rates on the four series of BTOF Preferred were 5.64
percent and 6.14 percent, respectively.  At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the
composite average dividend rates were 5.76 percent and 6.06 percent,
respectively.

  In addition, BTOF and the Parent Company entered into an agreement pursuant to
which the Parent Company agreed to sell to BTOF, upon BTOF's exercise of its
right to purchase, 2,500 shares (in four series of 625 shares) of the Parent
Company's Auction Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series K-N ("Exchange
Preferred").  BTOF and the Parent Company also agreed that BTOF will purchase
and exchange the Exchange Preferred for BTOF Preferred, upon the Parent
Company's exercise of its right to cause such for one or more series, or upon
the occurrence of certain other events, in whole but not in part.  The purchase
price of the Exchange Preferred in either case is $100,000 per share.  The
Exchange Preferred Stock has terms identical to the BTOF Preferred, except that
the Parent Company can redeem the Exchange Preferred in whole or in part, the
dividend periods are generally 49 days and the maximum rate for any dividend
period under no circumstances will exceed 24 percent per annum.

Series C Junior Participating Preferred Stock

The Parent Company has designated 1 million shares of the Series Preferred Stock
as Series C Junior Participating Preferred Stock ("Series C"), which are
issuable on the exercise of Preferred Share Purchase Rights pursuant to a Rights
Agreement adopted by the Corporation in February 1988.  See Note 13 for a more
detailed discussion of this agreement. No Series C shares have ever been issued.

Fixed/Adjustable Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series D and J

On August 31, 1989, the Parent Company issued $250 million, or 5 million shares,
of Fixed/Adjustable Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series D (Liquidation
Preference--$50 per share) ("Series D").  On October 28, 1992, the Parent
Company exchanged 447,225 shares of Fixed/Adjustable Rate Cumulative Preferred
Stock, Series J (Liquidation Preference--$100 per share) ("Series J") for
894,450 shares of its Series D amounting to $44,722,500 liquidation value.  On
September 1, 1994, the Corporation redeemed its remaining outstanding 4,105,550
shares, or $205,277,500 liquidation value, of the Series D Fixed/Adjustable Rate
Cumulative Preferred Stock.

  At the option of the Parent Company, the Series J may be redeemed, in whole or
in part, on or after December 1, 1995 and prior to December 1, 1997 at $103.00
per share and thereafter at $100.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends
to the redemption date.  However, these shares may be redeemed in whole earlier
if the dividend rate is adjusted upwards as a result of an amendment to effect a
change in the dividends exclusion per- centage provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code.  Any optional redemption shall be with the approval of the Federal
Reserve Board unless at that time that body should determine that its approval
is not required.

  Dividends on the Series J are cumulative and payable quarterly on March 1,
June 1, September 1 and December 1 of each year.  The Series J dividend rate is
fixed at 7.375 percent per annum prior to December 1, 1997.  Thereafter, the
dividend rate is determined by a formula that considers the interest rates of
selected short- and long-term U.S.  Treasury securities at the time the rate is
set plus an incremental increase based on a relationship of the Parent Company's
then current quarterly cash dividend declared on common stock and the last
quarterly cash dividend paid on common stock prior to September 1, 1997.  The
Series J adjustable rate in no event will be less than 7 percent or greater than
17 percent per annum. Both the fixed and adjustable rates may be subject to

                                       72
<PAGE>
 
adjustment in the event of enactment of an amendment to effect a change in the
dividends exclusion percentage provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.  The
dividend rate for the Series D was fixed at 8.72 percent per annum prior to
redemption and the dividend payment dates were identical to Series J.

8.55% Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series I

On March 23, 1992, Bankers Trust Company issued $100 million of 6.90%
Subordinated Notes due March 1995 (the "Notes").  The Notes, which were

4 million Preferred Purchase Units ("Units").  Each Unit consisted of a Note
with a $25 principal amount, a subordinated guaranty by the Parent Company of
such Note, and a preferred stock purchase contract (the "Purchase Contract")
issued by the Parent Company.  Holders of the Units were entitled to receive
8.55 percent per annum with respect to each Unit, payable quarterly, which
consisted of the interest on the Notes and a contract fee in respect of the
Purchase Contracts.  On March 1, 1995, the Notes matured and, in accordance with
the original terms of the Purchase Contracts, the holders of the Units were
required to purchase 4 million depositary shares, at $25 per share, each
representing a one-fourth interest in a share of the Parent Company's 8.55%
Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series I (Liquidation Preference--$100 per share)
("Series I").

June 1, September 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on June 1, 1995, at

the approval of the Federal Reserve Board unless at that time that body should
determine that its approval is not required.

On June 30, 1995, the Corporation issued $125 million, or 5 million depositary
shares at $25 per share, each representing a one-hundredth interest in a share
of the Corporation's 7 3/4% Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series S (Liquidation
Preference--$2,500 per share) ("Series S").

  Dividends on the Series S are cumulative and payable quarterly on March 1,
June 1, September 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing with the date
succeeding original issuance.  At the option of the Corporation, the Series S
may be redeemed, in whole or in part, on or after June 1, 2000, at $2,500 per
share (or $25 per depositary share), plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid
dividends to the redemption date.  Any optional redemption shall be with the
approval of the Federal Reserve Board unless at that time that body should
determine that its approval is not required.


SERIAL PREFERRED STOCK

In 1990, stockholders voted in favor of an amendment to the Restated Certificate
of Incorporation of Bankers Trust New York Corporation to increase the number of
shares of authorized preferred stock from 10 million to 20 million and created a
new class of preferred stock called Serial Preferred Stock which would have
equal rank as the Series Preferred Stock as well as priority over common
stockholders as to dividends and in the event of liquidation.  The Parent
Company has decided to defer action on implementing this approved amendment at
this time.

NOTE 13--PREFERRED SHARE PURCHASE RIGHTS

On February 16, 1988, the Board of Directors of the Parent Company declared a
dividend distribution of one Preferred Share Purchase Right ("Right") for each
share of common stock held, payable February 26, 1988 to stockholders of record
on that date.  Rights also automatically attach to each share of common stock
issued after February 26, 1988.

  Each Right entitles the record holder to purchase from the Parent Company a
one-hundredth interest in a share of the Parent Company's Series C Junior
Participating Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $140, subject to certain
adjustments.  The Rights will not be exercisable or transferable apart from the
common stock until the 10th day after either a public announcement that a person
or group (an "Acquiring Person") has acquired beneficial ownership of 20 percent
or more of the common stock, or the announcement or commencement of a tender
offer for 20 percent or more of the common stock.  If the Corporation is
acquired or 50 percent or more of its consolidated assets or earning power are
sold, each holder of a Right will have the right to receive, upon the exercise
at the then current exercise price of the Right, that number of shares of common
stock of the acquiring company which have a market value of two times the
exercise price of the Right.  If any person becomes an Acquiring Person (unless
such person first acquires 20 percent or more of the outstanding common shares
by a purchase pursuant to a tender offer for all of the common shares for cash,
which purchase increases such person's beneficial ownership to 80 percent or
more of the outstanding common shares), each holder of a Right other than Rights
beneficially owned by the Acquiring Person (which will be void), will have the
right to receive upon exercise that number of common shares having a market
value of two times the exercise price of the Right.  The Rights will expire on
February 26, 1998, but may be redeemed at any time prior to a person or group
acquiring the beneficial ownership of 20 percent or more of the common stock.
Until a Right is exercised, the holder will have no rights as a stockholder of
the Parent Company.

  After the acquisition by a person or group of beneficial ownership of 20
percent or more of the outstanding common shares and prior to the acquisition by
such person or group of 50 percent or more of the outstanding common shares, the
Board of Directors of the Parent Company may exchange the Rights (other than
Rights owned by such person or group), in whole or in part, at an exchange ratio
of one common share, or a one-hundredth interest in a share of Series C Junior
Participating Preferred Stock (or a share of a class or series of the Parent
Company's preferred stock having equivalent rights, preferences and privileges),
per Right (subject to adjustment).

  If issued, each share of Series C Junior Participating Preferred Stock will be
entitled, subject to adjustment, to (i) a quarterly dividend of the greater of
$1 per share or 100 times the quarterly dividend declared on each share of
common stock, (ii) in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up, a
preferential liquidation payment of the greater of $100 per share or 100 times
the liquidation payment made per share of common stock, and (iii) 100 votes per
share voting together with the holders of the Parent Company's common stock on
all matters.

  Under certain conditions, the Rights will also be redeemed in connection with
an acquisition of all of the Parent Company's common stock for cash in a
transaction approved by the Parent Company's stockholders.  Subject to certain
specified conditions, a special meeting of the Parent Company's stockholders to
vote on such a transaction will be called upon the request of a potential
acquiror.

  These statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Rights
Agreement, a copy of which was filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

BANKERS TRUST NEW YORK CORPORATION'S PREDECESSOR PLANS

  At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders on April 19, 1994, the stockholders
approved the 1994 Stock Option and Stock Award Plan (the "1994 Plan") which made
available for grant, until April 21, 1998, 15 million common shares.  The 1994
Plan permits the granting of nonqualified and incentive stock options,
restricted stock, deferred stock and other stock-based awards (collectively, the
"Awards").  Awards are still outstanding under the 1991 Stock Option and Stock
Award Plan (the "1991 Plan") and the 1985 Stock Option and Stock Award Plan (the
"1985 Plan").  No further Awards will be granted under either the 1991 Plan, as
of April 19, 1994 or the 1985 Plan, as of April 16, 1991 or the 1976 Stock
Option Plan.  These plans are administered by a Committee of the Board of
Directors (the "Committee"), none of whom is eligible to participate therein.
The Committee determines whether, to what extent and under what circumstances
the Awards may be settled in cash.  Awards granted under these plans may be
satisfied through the use of the Parent Company's authorized but unissued shares
or shares held in the Parent Company's treasury.

  At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders scheduled for April 15, 1997,
stockholders will vote on a proposed plan which, if adopted, would be called the
1997 Stock Option and Stock Award Plan (the "1997 Plan").  The provisions of
this proposed plan are generally similar to the 1994 Plan and would make 20
million shares available for grant under its terms.  The Board of Directors has
authorized a stock purchase program to satisfy the awards to be granted under
the proposed 1997 Plan and under prior Stock Option and Stock Award Plans.  The
authorization includes the 20 million shares that are subject to the proposed
1997 Plan.  The Corporation intends to satisfy awards granted under the 1997
Plan through the issuance of treasury shares acquired in open market purchases.

  Stock options are granted to purchase stock at a price not less than the fair
market value on the date of grant and may be outstanding for any period up to 10
years and one day from the date of grant.  Generally, no stock option may be
exercised until the employee has remained in the continuous employ of the
Corporation for one year after the option is granted.

  Recipients of restricted stock have all the rights of a stockholder of the
Corporation, except for limitations on sale or use of shares during the
restriction period, generally two to three years.  Restricted stock must be
issued from treasury shares.  The Committee determines all conditions of the
awards, including whether to permit or require cash dividends to be deferred or
reinvested.

  Deferred stock awards are the right to receive common stock of the Corporation
at a specified future date.  The awards vest from one to three years from the
date of the award. For deferred stock awards, shares of stock are not
distributed until after a specified deferral period extending up to five years
from the vesting date.  Prior to distribution, awards may earn amounts
equivalent to quarterly dividends declared by the Corporation and may also earn
the equivalent of the excess of quarterly earnings per common share over the
cash dividends.  At December 31, 1996 and 1995, there were deferred stock awards
outstanding of 6,721,996 shares and 3,334,674 shares, respectively.

  After providing for stock options granted, restricted stock awards and
deferred stock awards, there were 189,548 and 7,073,010 shares available for
future grant under the 1994 Plan at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Compensation expense recognized for the restricted stock awards and deferred
stock awards was $174 million and $48 million in 1996 and 1995, respectively.
The weighted-average grant-date fair value of restricted stock awards and
deferred stock awards granted during 1996 was $82.86.

ALEX. BROWN PREDECESSOR PLANS

Equity Incentive Plan

Pursuant to the 1991 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), Alex. Brown may make
stock based awards, including stock options, convertible debentures and
restricted stock awards, to key employees in any calendar year in respect of a
maximum of 7.5% of the total shares of common stock outstanding on the first day
of such year.  During 1995 and 1994, the Corporation sold 72,479 and 22,721
shares of common stock, respectively, at market to certain employees pursuant to
the Plan.  The Corporation has also sold convertible subordinated debentures to
certain employees pursuant to the Plan.  The debentures are generally
convertible into the Corporation's common stock three years after the date
issued or in stages beginning four years after the date issued.  The debentures
may be redeemed at par if the employee terminates employment with the
Corporation.  The Corporation made loans to the employees to finance the entire
purchase price of the stock and debentures.  The Corporation has agreed to
forgive certain loans over six years if the Corporation's return on equity
exceeds certain targets during the period and may forgive portions of other
loans on a discretionary basis.  Loan forgiveness resulted in compensation
expense of $9,287,000, $3,952,000 and $3,054,000 in 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.  Information related to debentures outstanding at December 31,
1996 and issued in January 1997 was as follows:

Stock Options

The Corporation has granted nonqualified stock options to certain employees and
directors.  Payment for the shares may be made in cash, shares of the
Corporation's common stock or a combination thereof.  Options granted since
January 1993 are generally exercisable in six equal installments beginning one
year from the date of grant and expire after ten years.  The exercise price for
these options is 25% greater than the lesser of the average market value of the
Corporation's common stock 30 days prior to the date of grant or the market
value on the date of grant.  Options previously granted are generally
exercisable in five equal installments beginning one year from the date of grant
and expire after five years.

Equity Compensation Plan

During 1996, 1995 and 1994, certain key employees had a portion of cash
compensation withheld and replaced by restricted common stock of the Corporation
at a 15% discount from market and interests in investment accounts through which
the employees can direct investments in selected Corporation-sponsored
investment vehicles.  Compensation expense is recorded currently based on the
value of the stock and interests in the investment accounts on the award date.
The restricted stock cannot be sold and funds cannot be withdrawn from the
investment accounts for three years (five years if employment terminates during
the initial three year period).  The Corporation may allow participants to
extend the deferral period.  These restrictions are removed in the event of
death, disability or retirement.  Pursuant to the Equity Compensation Plan,
$18,240,000, $11,102,000, and $7,080,000 of cash compensation was withheld and
replaced by 199,982,

203,128 and 161,922 shares of the Corporation's common stock and interests in
investment accounts for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

SFAS 123 PRO FORMA INFORMATION

  The Corporation applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) and related Interpretations
in accounting for its employee stock options.  Under APB 25, because the
exercise price of the Corporation's employee stock options equals the market
price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is
recognized.

  Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required
by SFAS 123, and has been determined as if the Corporation had accounted for its
employee stock options under the fair value method of SFAS 123.

  Excluding the additional shares issued to Alex. Brown shareholders pursuant to
the Exchange Ratio, the weighted average fair value of options granted during
1996 was $14.88 per option. The fair value for these options was estimated at
the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
weighted-average assumptions for 1996 and 1995, respectively; risk-free interest
rates of 6.77% and 5.91%; dividend yield of 5.0% for both years; volatility
factor of the expected market price of the Corporation's common stock of 23% for
both years; and a weighted-average expected life of the option of 5 years. The
weighted average fair value of Alex. Brown options granted during 1996 and 1995
were $3,318,000 and $2,244,000, respectively, on the dates of grant. The fair
values of options granted were calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model with the following weighted average assumptions, used for grants in 1996
and 1995, respectively: risk-free interest rate of 5.7% and 7.8%; expected
volatility of 41% in both years; dividend yield of 1.9% and 2.3%; expected
dividend growth rate of 26.4% and 27.1%; and expected lives of eight years and
expected forfeitures of 18% for both years.

  For purposes of pro forma disclosure, the estimated fair value of the options
is amortized to expense over the options' historical vesting period. The
following pro forma information reflects the compensation expense that would
have been recognized under SFAS 123 for both Alex. Brown and the Corporation on
an historical basis.  The fair values of options have not been restated to
reflect the Merger.

NOTE 15--ASSET AND DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS

The Federal Reserve Act, as amended by the Monetary Control Act of 1980,
requires that reserve balances on certain deposits of depository institutions be
maintained at the Federal Reserve Bank.  The reserve balances of the
Corporation's subsidiary banks were $180 million and $633 million at December
31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  For the years 1996 and 1995, the average
reserve balances of these banks amounted to $196 million and $199 million,
respectively.

  Assets, principally trading assets and securities available for sale, of
approximately $6.310 billion at December 31, 1996 were pledged as collateral to
secure public and trust deposits, for borrowings, and for other purposes.

  Federal law also requires that "covered transactions," as defined, engaged in
by insured banks and their subsidiaries with certain affiliates, including the
Parent Company, be at arm's length and limited to 20 percent of Tier 1 Capital
and Tier 2 Capital as defined by the Federal Reserve Bank risk-based capital
guidelines, the balance of the institutions allowance for loan and lease losses
not included in Tier 2 Capital, and "covered transactions" with any one such
affiliate be limited to 10 percent of capital and surplus.  Covered transactions
are defined to include, among other things, loans and other extensions of credit
to such an affiliate and guarantees, acceptances and letters of credit issued on
behalf of such an affiliate.  Such loans, other extensions of credit,
guarantees, acceptances and letters of credit must be secured. Other
restrictions also apply to inter-affiliate transactions.

  Limitations exist on the availability of BTCo's undistributed earnings for the
payment of dividends to the Parent Company without prior approval of the bank
regulatory authorities.  In this regard, BTCo can declare dividends in 1997
without approval of the regulatory authorities of $251 million of its retained
earnings at December 31, 1996, plus an additional amount equal to net profits,
as defined, for 1997 up to the date of any such dividend declaration.  The
Federal Reserve Board may prohibit the payment of dividends if it determines
that circumstances relating to the financial condition of a bank are such that
the payment of dividends would be an unsafe and unsound practice.

  Certain other subsidiaries are subject to various regulatory and other
restrictions which may limit cash dividends and advances to the Parent Company.

NOTE 16--REGULATORY CAPITAL

The Corporation and its banking subsidiaries are subject to various regulatory
capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.  The Federal
Reserve Board's risk-based capital guidelines addressing the capital adequacy of
bank holding companies and banks (collectively, "banking organizations") include
a definition of capital and a framework for calculating risk-weighted assets by
assigning assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories, as well
as minimum risk-based capital ratios to be maintained by banking organizations.
A banking organization's risk-based capital ratios are calculated by dividing
its qualifying capital by its risk-weighted assets.  The Federal Reserve Board
also has a minimum Leverage Ratio which is used as a supplement to the risk-
based capital ratios in evaluating the capital adequacy of banks and bank
holding companies.  The Leverage Ratio is calculated by dividing Tier 1 Capital
by adjusted quarterly average assets.

  Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandates,
and possibly additional discretionary actions by the regulators that, if
undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the consolidated financial
statements of the Corporation and BTCo.

  Under the risk-based capital guidelines, there are two categories of capital:
core capital ("Tier 1 Capital") and supplemental capital ("Tier 2 Capital"),
collectively referred to as Total Capital. Tier 1 Capital includes common
stockholders' equity, qualifying perpetual preferred stock, qualifying trust
preferred capital securities and minority interest in equity accounts of
consolidated subsidiaries.  Tier 2 Capital includes perpetual preferred stock
and trust preferred capital securities (to the extent ineligible for Tier 1
Capital), hybrid capital instruments (i.e., perpetual debt and mandatory
convertible securities), limited amounts of subordinated debt, intermediate-term
preferred stock, and a portion of the allowance for credit losses.

  In accordance with current Federal Reserve Board (FRB) guidelines, the
stockholder's equity and risk-weighted assets of BT Alex. Brown Incorporated are
excluded from the calculation of the regulatory capital ratios.  In computing
these ratios, 50 percent of BT Alex. Brown Incorporated stockholder's equity is
deducted from the Corporation's Tier 1 Capital, and 50 percent is deducted from
Tier 2 Capital. Similar treatment is accorded the stockholder's equity and risk-
weighted assets of certain foreign insurance subsidiaries of the Corporation.

  In addition, under the prompt corrective action provisions of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA"), five capital
categories were established for banks.  Pursuant to that statute, the federal
bank regulatory agencies have specifically defined these categories by
determining that a bank is well capitalized if it maintains a Tier 1 Capital
ratio of at least 6 percent, a Total Capital ratio of at least 10 percent and a
Leverage ratio of at least 5 percent.

  The Federal Reserve Board has also adopted these same thresholds for the Tier
1 Capital ratio and Total Capital ratio in defining a well-capitalized bank
holding company.  The well-capitalized threshold for the Leverage ratio has been
established at 3.0 percent or 4.0 percent, depending on other regulatory
criteria.

  Based on their respective regulatory capital ratios at December 31, 1996 and
December 31, 1995, both the Corporation and BTCo are well capitalized.  There
are no conditions or events that management believes have changed the
Corporation's and BTCo's well-capitalized status.

NOTE 19--PENSION AND OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Corporation's employee benefit plans currently consist of the continuation
of Alex. Brown's and the Corporation's respective plans that were in effect
prior to the Merger.  Accordingly, the following information summarizes the
Alex. Brown's and the Firm's predecessor plans.

  The Corporation is currently in the process of reviewing the benefit plans of
both predecessor institutions.

BANKERS TRUST NEW YORK CORPORATION'S PREDECESSOR PLANS

Pension Plans

The Corporation has a trusteed, noncontributory, defined benefit pension plan
covering substantially all domestic employees.  The pension plan benefit formula
is based upon years of service and average compensation over the final years of
service.  For this principal domestic pension plan, the Corporation's policy is
to fund amounts which are actuarially determined in accordance with the
applicable provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
("ERISA").  Pension plan assets for this plan primarily consist of equity and
debt securities managed by BTCo.

  The Corporation also has a domestic, unfunded defined contribution plan, as
well as both defined benefit and defined contribution retirement and similar
plans covering the majority of its foreign employees.  Contributions to defined
contribution plans are based upon a percentage of salary.

  Effective June 30, 1994, a foreign defined benefit plan was changed to a
defined contribution plan.  As a result of this change, the Corporation
recognized a $7 million curtailment/settlement gain in other noninterest
revenue.

 Pension expense for 1996, 1995 and 1994 included the following components:

Postretirement Benefits

The Corporation provides health care benefits to employees (retirees) who met
specific age and/or service requirements on January 1, 1990 provided that they
retire (retired) under the principal domestic pension plan with at least ten
years of service.  This plan is contributory for participating retirees and also
requires them to absorb deductibles and coinsurance.  The Corporation funds the
cost of postretirement health care as benefits are paid.  The Corporation also
provides noncontributory life insurance benefits for substantially all domestic
retirees with at least ten years of service.  The Corporation's policy with
respect to this plan is to make contributions up to the limits specified by
Section 419 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.

Profit Sharing Plans

The Corporation maintains a noncontributory profit sharing plan, called
PartnerShare, covering substantially all domestic employees.  The Corporation's
contribution consists of a fixed contribution equal to six percent of eligible
domestic employees' annual salary (the "Fixed Contribution") as well as an
additional contribution of from zero to nine percent of eligible employees'
annual salary, which percentage is calculated using a formula based on the
Corporation's consolidated income before income taxes (the "Profit-Driven
Contribution").  The Profit-Driven Contribution was 4.75 percent, 1.69 percent
and 4.73 percent for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The sum of the Fixed
Contribution and the Profit-Driven Contribution amounted to $41 million, $29
million and $41 million for the years 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

  The Corporation also has a profit sharing plan (called the "Share and
Discretionary Cash Scheme") covering its employees in the United Kingdom.  The
Corporation's contributions to this plan range from zero to 14 percent of
eligible employees' annual salary, which percentage is calculated using a
formula based on the Corporation's consolidated income before income taxes.  The
contribution for 1996, 1995 and 1994 was 8.72 percent, 3.11 percent and 8.69
percent, respectively.  The amount of expense recognized for the Share and
Discretionary Cash Scheme was $7 million, $2 million and $8 million for 1996,
1995 and 1994, respectively.


ALEX. BROWN'S PREDECESSOR PLANS

Retirement Plans

The Corporation maintains a 401(k) deferred compensation and profit sharing plan
(the "Plan").  Alex. Brown employees are permitted within limitations imposed by
tax law to make pretax contributions to the Plan pursuant to salary reduction
agreements.  The Corporation may make discretionary matching and profit sharing
contributions to the Plan and may make additional contributions to preserve the
Plan's tax exempt status.  The Corporation also has retirement plans for certain
Alex. Brown employees in foreign offices not covered by the Plan.  Compensation
expense for the Corporation's contributions to retirement plans was $13 million,
$10 million and $5 million for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Corporation maintains an employee stock purchase plan pursuant to which
Alex. Brown employees may purchase shares of the Corporation's common stock
through payroll deductions, subject to certain limitations, at a price equal to
85% of the fair market value of the stock on four quarterly investments dates.
The plan provides for the issuance of up to 1,245,000 shares.  A total of
945,767 shares have been issued under the plan, including 126,709 shares in
1996.


Deferred Compensation Plan

The Corporation maintains a deferred compensation plan for certain investment
representatives.  Eligible participants can direct the investment of their
deferred compensation amounts by selecting among various Corporation-sponsored
investment vehicles and the common stock of the Corporation at a 15% discount
from market.  The employees vest in the deferred compensation accounts after
four years.  The deferred compensation is forfeited if the Alex. Brown employee
terminates employment with the Corporation during the vesting period except for
termination due to death, disability or retirement.  The Corporation may allow
participants to extend the deferral period after vesting.  The amount of
deferred compensation, including any stock discounts, is being amortized over
the periods in which the Alex. Brown employees are providing the related
services (compensation expense of $1 million for 2000, $2 million for 1999, $3
million for 1998, $4 million for 1997, $3 million for 1996, $2 million for 1995
and $1 million for 1994).

  For purposes of determining the above amounts, foreign income is defined as
income recorded by operations located outside of the U.S.

  Undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries amounted to
approximately $1.3 billion at December 31, 1996.  Federal taxes which would have
approximated $270 million, assuming utilization of foreign tax credits, have not
been provided on these earnings, as they are permanently reinvested outside the
U.S.

  Deferred income taxes result from differences in the timing of revenue and
expense recognition for income tax and financial reporting purposes.

million) that will expire in 1999, 2000 and 2001, and a net operating loss
carryforward ($30 million) which expires in 2011.  Deferred tax liabilities were
primarily related to certain trading activities ($119 million) and lease
financing activities ($176 million).

  At December 31, 1995, the Corporation's deferred tax assets were primarily
related to credit losses ($533 million), foreign tax credit carryforwards ($140
million) that will expire in 1999 and 2000, and a net operating loss
carryforward ($41 million) which expires in 2009.  Deferred tax liabilities were

NOTE 21--EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Primary earnings per common share amounts were computed by subtracting from
earnings the dividend requirements on preferred stock to arrive at net income
applicable to common stock ("net income applicable to common stock") and
dividing this amount by the average number of common and common equivalent
shares outstanding during the year.  Fully diluted earnings per share amounts
were calculated by adjusting net income applicable to common stock for interest
expense on the convertible subordinated debentures and dividing this amount by
the average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the
year.

  For primary earnings per share, the average number of common and common
equivalent shares outstanding was the sum of the average number of shares of
common stock outstanding and the incremental number of shares issuable under
outstanding stock options and deferred stock awards that had a dilutive effect
as computed under the treasury stock method.  Fully diluted earnings per share
further assumes the conversion into common stock of convertible subordinated
debentures, if dilutive.  Under the treasury stock method, the number of
incremental shares is determined by assuming the issuance of the outstanding
stock options and deferred stock awards reduced by the number of shares assumed
to be repurchased from the issuance proceeds, using the market price of the
Parent Company's common stock.  For primary earnings per share, this market
price is the average market price for the period, while for fully diluted
earnings per share, it is the period-end market price, if it is higher than the
average market price.

  The earnings applicable to common stock and the number of shares used for
primary and fully diluted earnings per share were as follows:

NOTE 22--INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS

Management views the operation of the Corporation on an organizational unit
basis, as disclosed in the Management Discussion and Analysis on page 3.
However, in order to comply with the financial reporting regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the Corporation is required to report
international operations on the basis of the domicile of the customer.  Pursuant
to these regulations, any business transacted with a customer who is domiciled
outside the U.S. is reported as international operations. Due to the complex
nature of the Corporation's businesses and because its revenue from customers
domiciled outside the U.S. is recorded in both domestic and foreign offices, it
is impossible to segregate with precision the respective contributions to income
from the domestic and international operations.  As these operations are highly
integrated, estimates and subjective assumptions have been made to apportion
revenue and expenses between domestic and international operations.  These
estimates and assumptions include the following: interest revenue and interest
expense are apportioned to geographic areas based on the geographic distribution
of average interest earning assets.  The geographic location of the assets is
determined by the domicile of the customer, or for interest earning securities,
by the domicile of the issuer.  For the year ended December 31, 1996, trading
gains and losses are allocated based on the geographic distribution of average
trading assets as determined by the domicile of the issuer.  For the years ended
December 31, 1995 and 1994, trading gains and losses are allocated based on the
location of the office recording the gains/losses.  All other noninterest
revenue is allocated based on the geographic location of the office recording
the income.  Noninterest expense is basically apportioned geographically based
on the geographical distribution of operating income (net interest revenue plus
noninterest revenue).  Corporate overhead expenses are allocated based upon
average assets by geographic region.  International offices are assessed a cost
of funds charge based on a short-term funding rate.  Allocation of the provision
for credit losses is based on the geographical distribution of net charges to
the allowance for credit losses and management's assessment of the risks
associated with the domestic and international portfolios.  International taxes
are calculated based on the foreign tax rate for each foreign office.

  Earning assets are allocated by the domicile of the customer.  All other
assets are allocated based on the location of the office recording the assets.

  Subject to the above limitations, estimates and assumptions, the following
tables present information attributable to international operations (in
millions):

In the normal course of business, the Corporation is a party to a variety of
derivative and off-balance sheet financial instruments to meet the needs of its
customers, to manage its exposure to interest rate and other risks, and to take
trading positions.  These financial instruments consist of derivatives (such as
swaps and options), when-issued securities, securities lending indemnifications,
and credit-related arrangements and involve varying degrees of credit risk and
market risk.

  Credit risk, as defined by SFAS 105, represents the maximum potential
accounting loss due to possible non-performance by obligors and counterparties
under the terms of their contracts.  Market risk represents the potential loss
due to the decrease in the value of a financial instrument caused primarily by
changes in interest rates or foreign exchange rates, or the prices of equities
or commodities (or related indices).

  The Corporation manages the credit risk of its derivative and off-balance
sheet portfolios by limiting the total amount of arrangements outstanding with
individual customers; by monitoring the size and maturity structure of the
portfolios; by obtaining collateral based on management's credit assessment of
the customer; and by applying a uniform credit process for all credit exposures.
Collateral held generally includes cash and U.S. government and federal agency
securities.  In order to reduce derivatives-related credit risk, the Corporation
enters into master netting agreements which incorporate the right of setoff to
provide for the net settlement of covered contracts with the same customer in
the event of default or other cancellation of the agreement.  In addition,
management evaluates these portfolios periodically to determine whether the
allowance for credit losses is adequate to absorb potential losses in such
portfolios.

  For a further discussion of derivative financial instruments (including
leveraged derivative transactions) the related market and credit risks, and
controls used to monitor such risks, which is not included as part of these
audited financial statements, see "Risk Management" on page 24, "Derivatives" on
page 28, "Summary of Credit Loss Experience" on page 33 and "Nonperforming
Assets" on page 37.  For the risk-weighted amounts under the risk-based capital
guidelines of the Corporation's derivative and off-balance sheet exposures,
which also are not included as part of these audited supplemental financial
statements, see "Capital Resources" on page 19.

Trading Derivative Financial Instruments

The Corporation actively manages trading positions in a variety of derivative
contracts.  Many of the Corporation's trading positions are established as a
result of providing derivative products to meet customers' demands.  To
anticipate customer demand for such transactions, the Corporation also carries
an inventory of capital markets instruments and maintains its access to market
liquidity by quoting bid and offer prices to, and trading with, other market
makers.  These two activities are essential to provide customers with capital
market products at competitive prices.  All positions are reported at fair value
and changes in fair values are reflected in trading revenue as they occur.

  As required by SFAS 119, "Disclosure about Derivative Financial Instruments
and Fair Value of Financial Instruments," the amounts disclosed below represent
the end-of-period fair values of trading derivatives and their average aggregate
fair values during the year.  These amounts are presented gross before the
impact of master netting agreements and collateral.  The gross fair values of
trading derivatives do not represent the amount of market or credit risk of
derivatives in the trading portfolio.  Rather, they indicate the extent of
involvement in the over-the-counter (OTC) markets for interest rate, foreign
exchange rate, equity and commodity price derivatives, and exchange traded
options during the year.  Any measurement of risk is meaningful only when all
related factors are identified, such as risk-offsetting transactions, master
netting agreements, and the value of any related collateral.  The Corporation
considers such factors in its RAROC system and in other internal risk analyses.
The accounting impact of netting agreements, which is applied on a cross-product
basis in accordance with the terms of each master agreement and which is
calculated based on the criteria prescribed by FIN 39, is provided below in
order to display how these amounts are reflected in trading assets and trading
liabilities in the supplemental consolidated balance sheet.

                                       98

  Contracts with positive fair values are recorded as assets and contracts with
negative fair values are recorded as liabilities after application of master
netting agreements. The following table reflects the gross fair values and
balance sheet amounts of trading derivative financial instruments:

  Derivative contracts are generally either privately-negotiated OTC contracts
or standard contracts transacted through regulated exchanges.  For information
as to the credit risk of OTC trading derivatives, which is not included as part
of these audited financial statements, see "Derivatives" on page 28.  Fair
values of futures contracts are not included above due to cash margining
requirements of regulated exchanges.  Monthly averages are used in the table
above.

End-User Derivative Financial Instruments

The Corporation, as an end user, utilizes various types of derivative products
(principally interest rate swaps) to manage the interest rate, currency and
other market risks associated with certain liabilities and assets such as
interest-bearing deposits, short-term borrowings and long-term debt, as well as
securities available for sale, loans, investments in non-marketable equity
instruments and net investments in foreign entities. Revenue or expense
pertaining to management of interest rate exposure is predominantly recognized
over the life of the contract as an adjustment to interest revenue or expense.

  When the Corporation purchases assets and issues liabilities at fixed interest
rates it subjects itself to fair value fluctuations as market interest rates
change.  These fluctuations in fair value are managed by entering into interest
rate contracts which change the fixed rate instrument into a variable rate
instrument.

  When the Corporation purchases foreign currency denominated assets, issues
foreign currency denominated debt or has foreign net investments, it subjects
itself to changes in value as exchange rates move.  These fluctuations are
managed by entering into currency swaps and forwards.

  The Corporation's investments in nonmarketable and restricted equity
instruments classified in other assets are subject to changes in market values.
These changes are managed by entering into equity swaps and options.

  The fair values and other information related to end-user derivatives are
disclosed in Note 25.

Notional Amounts of Trading and End-User Derivative Financial Instruments

Notional amounts indicate the extent of the Corporation's involvement in the
various types and uses of derivative financial instruments and do not measure
the Corporation's exposure to credit or market risks and do not necessarily
represent the amounts exchanged by the parties to the instruments.  The amounts
exchanged are based on the contractual notional amounts and the other terms of
the instruments.  Notional amounts are not included in the consolidated balance
sheet and generally exceed the future cash requirements relating to the
instruments.  The leveraging effects of leveraged derivative transactions are
reflected in the table below.

SWAPS
Interest rate swap contracts generally represent the contractual exchange of
fixed and floating rate payments of a single currency, based on a notional
amount and an interest reference rate.  Cross-currency interest rate swap
contracts generally involve the exchange of payments which are based on the
interest reference rates available at the inception of the contract on two
different currency principal balances that are exchanged.  The principal
balances are re-exchanged at an agreed upon rate at a specified future date.
Equity swap contracts typically involve the payment of an amount equal to the
total return of a U.S. or international equity index, basket of equities, or an
individual equity over a fixed time period in exchange for receiving a floating
interest rate, both based upon the same notional amount.


FUTURES AND FORWARDS

Futures and forward contracts represent commitments to purchase or sell
securities, money market instruments, foreign currencies or commodities at a
future date and at a specified price.  Futures contracts are traded on regulated
U.S. and international exchanges.  The Corporation intends to close out most
open positions in futures contracts prior to maturity, therefore future cash
receipts or payments are generally limited to the change in fair value of the
underlying instruments.  Since futures contracts generally entail daily net cash
margining with regulated exchanges, the credit risk is generally minimized to a
one-day receivable.  Included in this category of contracts are spot foreign
currency contracts, cash-settled index contracts, and forward rate agreements
(agreements to exchange amounts at a specified future date for interest rate
differentials between an agreed interest rate and a reference rate, computed on
a notional amount).


OPTIONS
Option contracts are either deliverable or cash-settled.  Deliverable contracts
convey to the purchaser (holder) the right to buy (call) or sell (put)
securities, money market instruments, foreign currencies or commodities at or
before a specified date for a contracted price from the seller (writer) of the
contract.  Cash-settled contracts convey to the purchaser the right to the
monetary equivalent of the increase (call) or decrease (put), or a percentage
thereof, in a specified reference rate or index, computed on a notional amount,
from the writer.  The initial price of an option contract is equal to the
premium paid by the purchaser and is significantly less than the contract or
notional amount.  Included in these contracts are: (i) interest rate caps,
floors and collars, which are agreements to make periodic payments for interest
rate differentials between an agreed upon interest rate and a reference rate and
(ii) purchased options to enter into future (or cancel existing) interest rate
swap contracts ("swap options").

  The Corporation is subject to credit risk as a purchaser of an option
contract, and is subject to market risk to the extent of the purchase price of
the option.  The Corporation is subject to market risk on its written option
contracts, but not to credit risk, except as noted below, since the customer has
already performed according to the terms of the contract by paying a cash
premium up front.  However, for SFAS 105 purposes, credit risk arises to the
extent that the option contract requires or permits settlement in the underlying
instrument, and that instrument is subject to credit risk.  Such amounts related
to certain written put option contracts on debt securities and certain forward
contracts to purchase debt securities were $2.677 billion and $4.469 billion at
December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The underlying debt securities were
primarily obligations of the U.S. and foreign central and local governments and
U.S. federal agencies.

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Credit Risk

As required by SFAS 105, off-balance sheet credit risk amounts are determined
without consideration of the value of any related collateral and reflect the
total potential loss on commitments to purchase when-issued securities for all
obligors (including governments); securities lending indemnifications; and
undrawn commitments, standby letters of credit and similar arrangements.

(1) Includes $1.1 billion and $.6 billion of forward-dated money market assets

  When-issued securities normally begin trading when the U.S.  Treasury or some
other issuer of securities announces a forth-coming issue.  (In some cases,
trading may begin in anticipation of such an announcement.) Such transactions
are contingent upon the actual issuance of the security.  Since the exact price
and terms of the security are unknown before the issue date, trading prior to
that date is on a "yield" basis.  On the issue date the exact terms and price of
the security become known and when-issued trading continues until settlement
date, when the securities are delivered and the issuer is paid.  On settlement
date, the securities purchased by the Corporation are reported on the balance
sheet.

  Securities lending indemnifications represent the market value of customers'
securities lent to third parties.  The Corporation indemnifies customers to the
extent of the replacement cost and/or the market value of the securities in the
event of a failure by a third party to return the securities lent.  The market
value of collateral, primarily cash, received for customers' securities lent was
in excess of the contract amounts and was approximately $39 billion at December
31, 1996 and $30 billion at December 31, 1995.

    1995, respectively. Additionally, both the contract amount and the credit
    risk amount include commitments to enter into securities resale agreements
    of $2.0 billion and $.8 billion at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
(2) Includes participations to other entities of approximately $1 billion at
    December 31, 1996 and 1995.


  Commitments to extend credit represent contractual commitments to make loans
and revolving credits.  Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or
other termination clauses and require the payment of a fee. Since commitments
may expire without being drawn upon, the total contract amounts do not
necessarily represent future cash requirements.  Included in the amounts above
are unused commitments to extend credit that are related to loans held for
trading purposes.  Information regarding the Corporation's credit risk with
respect to real estate financing activities and highly leveraged transactions,
which is not included as part of the audited supplemental financial statements,
is disclosed on pages 40 through 42.

  Standby letters of credit and similar arrangements ("standbys"), issued
primarily to support corporate obligations, commit the Corporation to make
payments on behalf of customers contingent upon the failure of the customer to
perform under the terms of the contract.  Standbys outstanding related to
customer obligations, such as commercial paper, medium- and long-term notes and
debentures (including industrial revenue obligations), as well as other
financial and performance-related obligations.  At December 31, 1996, $2.747
billion will expire within one year, $1.058 billion from one to four years and
$169 million after four years.

  For standbys, commitments to extend credit and securities lending
indemnifications, the credit risk amount represents the contractual amount.
Standbys and commitments to extend credit would have market risk if issued or
extended at a fixed rate of interest.  However, these contracts are primarily
made at a floating rate.  Fees received are generally recognized as revenue over
the life of the commitment.

NOTE 24--CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

The Corporation, as required by SFAS 105, has identified two significant
concentrations of credit risk: OECD country banks and OECD country central
governments, their agencies and central banks.  Together they represented 34
percent and 36 percent of total credit risk at December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.  The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD)
is an international organization of countries which are committed to market-
oriented economic policies, including the promotion of private enterprise and
free market prices, liberal trade policies, and the absence of exchange
controls.  The OECD consists of 29 industrialized countries that are located
primarily in Western Europe and North America, as well as Australia, Japan, New
Zealand and South Korea.  For risk-based capital purposes, domestic and foreign
bank regulators generally assign OECD country central governments, their
agencies and their central banks a credit risk weighting of zero percent, which
means that no credit risk capital is required to support their financial
instruments.  OECD country banks are assigned the next lowest credit risk
weighting (20 percent) by these regulators.  The largest counterparty
concentration was the U.S. government and its related entities, which comprised
approximately 51 percent of the OECD country governments category.  Within all
other counterparties, the amount collateralized by cash and U.S. government
securities represented approximately 26 percent of total credit risk.

  The following table reflects the aggregate credit risk by groups of
counterparties, as defined by SFAS 105, relating to on- and off-balance sheet
financial instruments, including derivatives, at December 31, 1996 and 1995.
The increase in the OECD country banks category compared to 1995 was
predominantly related to short-term, liquid transactions with European and U.S.
banks.

NOTE 25--FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

SFAS 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires the
disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not
recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that
value.  Quoted market prices, when available, are used as the measure of fair
value.  In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are
based on present value estimates or other valuation techniques.  These derived
fair values are significantly affected by assumptions used, principally the
timing of future cash flows and the discount rate.  Because assumptions are
inherently subjective in nature, the estimated fair values cannot be
substantiated by comparison to independent market quotes and, in many cases, the
estimated fair values would not necessarily be realized in an immediate sale or
settlement of the instrument.  The disclosure requirements of SFAS 107 exclude
certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments (e.g., franchise
value of businesses).  Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented
do not represent management's estimation of the underlying value of the
Corporation.

  SFAS 119 amended SFAS 107 disclosure requirements as of December 31, 1994.
The amendments, among others, require that the disclosures distinguish between
financial instruments held for trading purposes, measured at fair value with
gains and losses recognized in earnings, and financial instruments held or
issued for purposes other than trading.  The fair value of derivative financial
instruments must be disclosed separately from nonderivative financial
instruments.  Additionally, the fair value of derivative financial instruments
may not be netted with the fair value of other derivative financial instruments,
except as allowed by FIN 39.

deposits, other short-term borrowings, long-term debt and net investments in
foreign subsidiaries are not yet recognized in the supplemental financial
statements.

  The effect of these end-user derivatives was a net decrease in revenue of $29
million for the year ended December 31, 1996 and a net increase in revenue of
$22 million for the year ended December 31, 1995.

  The Corporation has reviewed its other categories of off-balance sheet
instruments (forward-dated assets and liabilities, securities lending
indemnifications and securities borrowed) accounted for at cost and has
determined that, in the case of each such category, the unrealized gain or loss
on such instruments at both December 31, 1996 and 1995 was not material.

Methods and Assumptions

For short-term financial instruments, defined as those with remaining maturities
of 90 days or less, the carrying amount was considered to be a reasonable
estimate of fair value. The following instruments were predominantly short-term:

Assets                                  Liabilities
- ------                                  -----------
Cash and due from banks          Interest-bearing deposits
Interest-bearing deposits        Securities loaned and securities
 with banks                            sold under repurchase agreements
Federal funds sold                Other short-term borrowings
Securities purchased under        Acceptances outstanding
 resale agreements                Other financial liabilities
Securities borrowed
Customer receivables
Due from customers
 on acceptances
Accounts receivable and
 accrued interest

  For those components of the above-listed financial instruments with remaining
maturities greater than 90 days, fair value was determined by discounting
contractual cash flows using rates which could be earned for assets with similar
remaining maturities and, in the case of liabilities, rates at which the
liabilities with similar remaining maturities could be issued as of the balance
sheet date.

  As indicated in Note 1, trading assets (including derivatives), trading
liabilities and securities available for sale are carried at their fair values.

  For short-term loans and variable rate loans which reprice within 90 days, the
carrying value was considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value.  For
those loans for which quoted market prices were available, fair value was based
on such prices.  For other types of loans, fair value was estimated by
discounting future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans
would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same
remaining maturities.  In addition, for loans secured by real estate, appraisal
values for the collateral were considered in the fair value determination.  The
fair value estimate of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of
credit represented the unrealized gains and losses on those off-balance sheet
positions and was generally determined in the same manner as loans.

                                      116
<PAGE>
 
  Other financial assets consisted primarily of investments in equity
instruments (excluding, in accordance with SFAS 107, investments accounted for
under the equity method) and cash and cash margins with brokers.  The fair value
of non-marketable equity instruments was determined by matrix pricing utilizing
market prices for comparable publicly traded instruments, adjusted for liquidity
and contractual arrangements.

  Noninterest-bearing deposits do not have defined maturities.  In accordance
with SFAS 107, fair value represented the amount payable on demand as of the
balance sheet date.

  Other financial liabilities consisted primarily of accounts payable and
accrued expenses at both December 31, 1996 and 1995.

  The fair value of long-term debt was estimated by using market quotes as well
as discounting the remaining contractual cash flows using a rate at which the
Corporation could issue debt with a similar remaining maturity as of the balance
sheet date.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Board of Directors
Bankers Trust New York Corporation:

We have audited the combination of Bankers Trust New York Corporation and
Subsidiaries (the "Corporation") and Alex. Brown Incorporated as reflected in
the accompanying supplemental consolidated balance sheet of the Corporation as
of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related supplemental consolidated
statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of
the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1996.  These supplemental
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the combination of
the Corporation and Alex. Brown Incorporated as reflected in these supplemental
consolidated financial statements based on our audit procedures.

We previously audited and reported on the consolidated balance sheet of Alex.
Brown Incorporated as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related
consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1996,
prior to their restatement for the 1997 pooling-of-interests with the
Corporation and have issued our report thereon dated January 20, 1997. Such
report and the accompanying Alex. Brown Incorporated consolidated financial
statements are included in the Corporation's Current Report on Form 8-K dated
September 1, 1997 incorporated by reference herein. The contribution of Alex.
Brown Incorporated to combined restated assets as reflected in the supplemental
consolidated financial statements represented 2 percent and 2 percent as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively; to combined restated revenues
represented 20 percent, 19 percent and 14 percent; and to combined restated net
income represented 20 percent, 31 percent and 10 percent for the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Separate consolidated financial
statements of the Corporation included in the supplemental consolidated
financial statements were audited and reported on separately by other auditors
who have issued their report thereon dated January 23, 1997 except for Note 28, 
as to which the date is March 6, 1997. Such report is presented herein.

The supplemental consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to
the merger of the Corporation and Alex. Brown Incorporated on September 1, 1997,
which has been accounted for as a pooling-of-interests as described in Note 1 to
the supplemental consolidated financial statements.  Generally accepted
accounting principles proscribe giving effect to a consummated business
combination accounted for by the pooling-of-interests method in financial
statements that do not include the date of consummation.  These financial
statements do not extend through the date of consummation.  However, they will
become the historical consolidated financial statements of the Corporation after
financial statements covering the date of consummation of the business
combination are issued.

In our opinion, the supplemental consolidated financial statements referred to
above have been properly combined on the basis described in Note 1 of the notes
to the supplemental consolidated financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Bankers Trust New York Corporation

We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of Bankers Trust New York
Corporation and Subsidiaries (the "Corporation") at December 31, 1996 and 1995,
and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders'
equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1996 (not presented herein), prior to their restatement for the 1997 
pooling-of-interests with Alex. Brown Incorporated as described in Note 1 to the
supplemental consolidated financial statements. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Corporation'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 about 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 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 consolidated financial position of Bankers Trust New
York Corporation and Subsidiaries at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

VOLUME/RATE ANALYSIS OF CHANGES IN NET INTEREST REVENUE

The following table attributes changes in fully taxable net interest revenue to
changes in either average daily balances or average rates for both interest-
earning assets and interest-bearing sources of funds.  Because of the numerous
simultaneous balance and rate changes during any period, it is not possible to
precisely allocate such changes between balances and rates.  For purposes of
this table, changes which are not due solely to balance or rate changes are
allocated to such categories based on the respective percentage changes in
average daily balances and average rates.

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

Interest rate sensitivity data for the Corporation at December 31, 1996 is
presented in the table below.  For purposes of this presentation, the interest-
earning/bearing components of trading assets and trading liabilities are assumed
to reprice within three months.

  The interest rate gaps reported in the table arise when assets are funded with
liabilities having different repricing intervals, after considering the effect
of off-balance sheet hedging instruments.  Since these gaps are actively managed
and change daily as adjustments are made in interest rate views and market
outlook, positions at the end of any period may not be reflective of the
Corporation's interest rate view in subsequent periods.  Active management
dictates that longer-term economic views are balanced against prospects of
short-term interest rate changes in all repricing intervals.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


    Bankers Trust New York Corporation (the "Parent Company") and subsidiaries
(collectively, the "Corporation", or the "Firm") earned $200 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 1997, or $1.81 primary earnings per share.  In the first
quarter of 1996, the Corporation earned $179 million, or $1.62 primary earnings
per share.

THE MERGER

On September 1, 1997, Alex. Brown Incorporated ("Alex. Brown") was merged into a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Bankers Trust New York Corporation (the "Merger").
In conjunction with the Merger, each share of Alex. Brown common stock then
outstanding was converted into 0.83 shares of Bankers Trust New York
Corporation's common stock (the "Exchange Ratio").  The Merger was treated as a
tax free exchange.

  The supplemental consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to
the Merger in a transaction accounted for as a pooling of interests.  The
pooling of interests method of accounting requires the restatement of all
periods presented as if Alex. Brown and Bankers Trust New York Corporation had
always been combined.  Generally accepted accounting principles proscribe giving
effect to a consummated business combination accounted for by the pooling of
interests method in financial statements that do not include the date of
consummation.  The supplemental consolidated financial statements do not extend
through the date of consummation. However, they will become the historical
consolidated financial statements of Bankers Trust New York Corporation together
with its subsidiaries after financial statements covering the date of
consummation of the business combination are issued. The supplemental
consolidated statement of changes in stockholders' equity reflects the accounts
of the Corporation as if the additional common stock had been issued during all
the periods presented. The supplemental consolidated financial statements,
including the notes thereto, should be read in conjunction with the historical
consolidated financial statements of Alex. Brown and Bankers Trust New York
Corporation, included in their Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal years
ended December 31, 1996.


ORGANIZATIONAL UNIT RESULTS

    Organizational Unit business results are determined based on the
corporation's internal management accounting process, which allocates revenue
and expenses among the organizational units.  Because the corporation's business
is diverse in nature and its operations are integrated, it is impractical to
segregate respective contributions of the organizational units with precision.
As a result, estimates and judgments have been made to apportion revenue and
expense items.  In addition, certain revenue and expenses have been segregated
and reported in corporate/other because, in the opinion of management, they
could not be reasonably allocated or because their contributions to a particular
organizational unit would be distortive.  The internal management accounting
process, unlike financial accounting in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, is based on the way management views its business and is
not necessarily comparable with similar information disclosed by other financial
institutions.  In order to provide comparability from one period to the next,
the corporation will restate this analysis to conform with material changes in
the allocation process and/or significant changes in organizational structure.

CHANGES IN ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

    To move risk management capabilities closer to clients, responsibility for
the convertible debt business and for management of the metals and mining
commodities book has been transferred from Risk Management Services to

    In addition, the Emerging Europe, Middle East and Africa unit has been

expertise.  For external reporting purposes this new unit is included in Risk
                                                                         ----

ORGANIZATIONAL UNIT RESULTS (continued)

    The Investment Banking business contributed net income of $110 million in
        ------------------                                                   
the first quarter of 1997, down slightly from $112 million a year ago.

    Risk Management Services recorded net income of $11 million in the first
    ------------------------                                                
quarter of 1997, up $15 million from the first quarter of 1996.  Revenues of
$105 million were up $42 million from the first quarter of 1996.  Compared to
the prior year period, revenues from new derivatives transactions and from the
Emerging Europe, Middle East and Africa unit improved.

    Net income from the Trading & Sales business, at $43 million, was up $19
                        ---------------                                     
million from the first quarter of 1996.  The current quarter's improvement was
largely due to higher revenues from trading and client-related business as
compared to the prior year period.

    The Corporation's Investment Management business, which for reporting
                      ---------------------                              
purposes does not include funds management activities in Australia/NZ, reported
net income of $23 million for the current quarter, up $4 million from the 1996
comparable period due to an increase in assets under management.  At March 31,
1997, assets under management in this organizational unit were approximately
$219 billion, compared to $194 billion at March 31, 1996.

    Client Processing Services contributed $13 million of net income in the
    --------------------------                                             
first quarter of 1997, down $5 million from the 1996 first quarter.  Revenues of
$196 million were up $14 million from the first quarter of 1996.  The decline in
net income from a year ago reflected higher operations costs and growth in staff
expense.

    Net income of the Australia/NZ business was $34 million in the first quarter
                      ------------                                              
of 1997, up $10 million from the first quarter of 1996.  The increase from the
prior year period was primarily due to improved revenues from trading activities
and fiduciary and funds management offset in part by increased salaries and
incentive compensation and employee benefits as a result of higher staff levels.
At March 31, 1997, assets under management in Australia/NZ's investment
management business were approximately $27 billion, compared to $23 billion at
March 31, 1996.

    Asia net income was $8 million in the first quarter of 1997, up $3 million
    ----                                                                      
from the first quarter of 1996.  The current quarter's increase was primarily
due to very strong results in North Asia.  Offsetting the improved results in
North Asia were losses incurred during the first quarter from the Corporation's
investment in Thai Investment and Securities Co. in Thailand.  Thailand is
currently experiencing a significant reduction in its economic growth and the
Thai stock market has experienced a steep decline.

    Latin America net income was $23 million in the first quarter of 1997, up $3
    -------------                                                               
million from the first quarter of 1996.  An increase in trading-related
activities contributed to the current quarter's results.

    Corporate/Other net loss was $65 million in the first quarter of 1997,

compared with a net loss of $39 million in the first quarter of 1996.  The
current quarter included the effects of increased incentive compensation and
employee benefits, a contribution to the BT Foundation, and consulting expenses
associated with several strategic and infrastructure improvement projects.

increase in net interest revenue was primarily due to a $104 million increase in
trading-related net interest revenue, which totaled $135 million for the first
quarter of 1997.  Nontrading-related net interest revenue which is considered to
be historically a more stable component of overall net interest revenue, totaled
$197 million for the first quarter of 1997 versus $203 million for the
comparable period in 1996.

REVENUE (continued)

    In the first quarter of 1997, the interest rate spread was 1.05 percent
compared to .79 percent in the prior year period.  Net interest margin increased
to 1.40 percent from 1.09 percent.  The yield on interest earning assets
decreased by 48 basis points and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities
decreased 74 basis points.

                                Trading Revenue

    The Firm's trading and risk management businesses include significant
activities in interest rate instruments and related derivatives.  These
activities can periodically shift revenue between trading and net interest,
depending on a variety of factors, including risk management strategies.
Therefore, the Corporation views trading revenue and trading-related net
interest revenue together.

    Combined trading revenue and trading-related net interest revenue for the
first quarter of 1997 totaled $446 million, up $115 million from the first
quarter of 1996.

    The table below presents the Corporation's trading revenue and trading-
related net interest revenue by major category of market risk.  These categories
are based on management's view of the predominant underlying risk exposure of
each of the Firm's trading positions.

REVENUE (continued)

    Interest Rate Risk - The increase in revenue was due to increased flow of
client trading services, strong results from proprietary trading activities, and
increased revenue from bond trading activities attributable to increased capital
inflows to the market.  Also, contributing to the increase was improved
performance from the Firm's trading activities in Asia and Latin America.

    Foreign Exchange Risk - Foreign exchange risk revenue increased from the
first quarter of 1996 principally due to strong performance in the Firm's
activities in Australia including both proprietary and customer related
revenues.

    Equity and Commodity Risk - Total trading and trading-related net interest
revenue decreased compared to the same period last year primarily due to 
decreases in equity trading.

                    Noninterest Revenue (Excluding Trading)

    Fiduciary and funds management revenue was $231 million in the first quarter
of 1997, up $31 million, or 16 percent, from the comparable period last year.
All activities within this category contributed to the year-over-year increase,
especially global private banking commissions, funds management revenue and
custodian fees.

    Corporate finance fees of $215 million increased $27 million, or 14 percent,
from the same period last year, primarily due to higher private placement fees,
merger and acquisition fees and loan syndication fees.

PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

    The provision for credit losses is determined based upon management's
evaluation as to the amount needed to maintain the allowance for credit losses
at a level considered appropriate in relation to the risk of losses inherent in
the portfolio.

    No provision for credit losses was required for the first quarter of 1997
compared with $5 million for the prior year's first quarter.  Net charge-offs
for the first quarter were $15 million, compared with $10 million a year ago.

    In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountant's
Banks and Savings Institutions Audit and Accounting Guide, the Corporation has
allocated its total allowance for credit losses as follows: $758 million as a
reduction of loans, and $200 million as other liabilities related to other
credit-related items.  The Corporation continues to believe that the total
allowance for credit losses is available for credit losses in its entire
portfolio, which is comprised of loans, credit-related commitments, derivatives
and other financial instruments.  Due to a multitude of complex and changing
factors that are collectively weighed in determining the adequacy of the
allowance for credit losses, management expects that the allocation of the total
allowance for credit losses may be adjusted as risk factors change.  Prior
period amounts have not been restated.

    The provision for credit losses and the other changes in the allowance for
credit losses are shown below (in millions).

PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES (continued)

    The allowance for credit losses that has been allocated to loans, was $758
million at March 31, 1997 compared to $773 million at December 31, 1996.  The
allowance was equal to 228 percent and 171 percent of total cash basis loans at
March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively.  These ratios were computed
using the amounts that were allocated to loans.

    Impaired loans under SFAS 114, which consisted of total cash basis loans and
renegotiated loans, were $369 million and $489 million at March 31, 1997 and
December 31, 1996, respectively.  Included in these amounts were $152 million
and $227 million of loans which required a valuation allowance of $30 million
and $57 million at those same dates, respectively.


EXPENSES

    Total noninterest expenses of $1.106 billion increased by $153 million, or
16 percent, from the first quarter of 1996.  Salaries and commissions expense
increased $38 million, or 14 percent, principally due to an 8 percent increase
in the average number of employees and to merit increases.  Incentive
compensation and employee benefits, the largest component of noninterest
expenses, increased $69 million due to higher earnings, greater emphasis on
performance-based compensation and the increase in the average number of
employees.



INCOME TAXES

    Income tax expense for the first quarter of 1997 amounted to $92 million,
compared with $85 million for the first quarter of 1996.  The effective tax rate
was 32 percent for both the current and prior year quarter.

EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

    Primary earnings per common share amounts were computed by subtracting from
earnings the dividend requirements on preferred stock to arrive at net income
applicable to common stock ("net income applicable to common stock") and
dividing this amount by the average number of common and common equivalent
shares outstanding during the period. Fully diluted earnings per share amounts
were calculated by adjusting net income applicable to common stock for interest
expense on the convertible subordinated debentures and dividing this amount by
the average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the
period.

    For primary earnings per share, the average number of common and common
equivalent shares outstanding was the sum of the average number of shares of
common stock outstanding and the incremental number of shares issuable under
outstanding stock options and deferred stock awards that had a dilutive effect
as computed under the treasury stock method.  Fully diluted earnings per share
further assumes the conversion into common stock of convertible subordinated
debentures, if dilutive.  Under the treasury stock method, the number of
incremental shares is determined by assuming the issuance of the outstanding
stock options and deferred stock awards reduced by the number of shares assumed
to be repurchased from the issuance proceeds, using the market price of the
Parent Company's common stock.  For primary earnings per share, this market
price is the average market price for the period, while for fully diluted
earnings per share, it is the period-end market price, if it is higher than the
average market price.

    The earnings applicable to common stock and the number of shares used for
primary and fully diluted earnings per share were as follows (in millions):

BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS (continued)

    The Corporation's average total assets amounted to $126.1 billion for the
first quarter of 1997, a decrease of $770 million, or 1 percent, from the fourth
quarter of 1996.  Average interest-earning assets decreased $2.2 billion, or 2
percent, and the proportion of interest-earning assets to total assets decreased
from 79 percent to 78 percent.  The decrease in interest-earning assets was
primarily due to decreases in trading assets (down $3.4 billion or 11 percent)
and securities borrowed (down $822 million, or 5 percent), offset in part by an
increase in federal funds sold (up $1.7 billion, or 85 percent).  Interest-
earning trading assets, as a percentage of total assets declined from 25 percent
to 22 percent.  Noninterest-earning trading assets increased $1.3 billion, or 7
percent, from the fourth quarter of 1996.

    Average total liabilities decreased $632 million from the fourth quarter of
1996.  Within interest-bearing liabilities, decreases in trading liabilities
(down $3.6 billion, or 37 percent) and securities sold under repurchase
agreements (down $3.4 billion, or 13 percent) were offset in part by increases
in total interest-bearing deposits (up $3.9 billion or 14 percent) and
mandatorily redeemable capital securities (up $1.0 billion, or 624 percent).
Total short-term borrowings (securities loaned and securities sold under
repurchase agreements and other short-term borrowings) as a percentage of total
interest-bearing liabilities declined from 48 percent to 46 percent.


                         Securities Available for Sale

    The fair value, amortized cost and gross unrealized holding gains and losses
for the Corporation's securities available for sale follow.  During the first
quarter of 1997, the Corporation transferred approximately $1.1 billion of
asset-backed securities from securities-available-for-sale to trading account
assets.  This transfer, which had no impact on the current quarter's income, was
the result of a change in risk management strategies.

TRADING DERIVATIVES

    The Corporation actively manages trading positions in a variety of
derivative contracts.  Many of the Corporation's trading positions are
established as a result of providing derivative products to meet customers'
demands.  To anticipate customer demand for such transactions, the Corporation
also carries an inventory of capital markets instruments and maintains its
access to market liquidity by quoting bid and offer prices to, and trading with,
other market makers.  These two activities are essential to provide customers
with capital market products at competitive prices.  All positions are reported
at fair value and changes in fair values are reflected in trading revenue as
they occur.

    The following tables reflect the gross fair values and balance sheet amounts
of trading derivative financial instruments:

END-USER DERIVATIVES

    The Corporation, as an end user, utilizes various types of derivative
products (principally interest rate swaps) to manage the interest rate, currency
and other market risks associated with certain liabilities and assets such as
interest-bearing deposits, short-term borrowings and long-term debt, as well as
securities available for sale, loans, investments in non-marketable equity
instruments and net investments in foreign entities.  Revenue or expense
pertaining to management of interest rate exposure is predominantly recognized
over the life of the contract as an adjustment to interest revenue or expense.

    Total net end-user derivative unrealized losses were $149 million at March
31, 1997 compared with an unrealized gain of $54 million at December 31, 1996.
The $203 million decrease during the first quarter of 1997 was primarily due to
increases in long-term interest rates.

END-USER DERIVATIVES (continued)

    The following tables provide the gross unrealized gains and losses for end-
user derivatives.  Gross unrealized gains and losses for hedges of securities
available for sale are recognized in the financial statements with the offset as
an adjustment to securities valuation allowance in stockholders' equity.  Gross
unrealized gains and losses for hedges of loans, other assets, interest-bearing
deposits, other short-term borrowings, long-term debt, and net investments in
foreign subsidiaries are not yet recognized in the financial statements.

REGULATORY CAPITAL

    The Corporation and its banking subsidiaries are subject to various
regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.
The Federal Reserve Board's ("FRB") risk-based capital guidelines addressing the
capital adequacy of bank holding companies and banks (collectively, "banking
organizations") include a definition of capital and a framework for calculating
risk-weighted assets.  In addition, these guidelines specify minimum risk-based
capital ratios to be maintained by banking organizations. The FRB also has a
minimum Leverage ratio which is used as a supplement to the risk-based capital
ratios in evaluating the capital adequacy of banking organizations.  See pages
19 and 83 of Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K for a detailed
discussion of these guidelines and regulations.

    In 1996, the FRB and the other U.S. federal banking agencies jointly issued
an amendment to the capital adequacy guidelines to incorporate a measure for
market risk ("the market risk amendment").  Essentially, this amendment changes
the calculation of risk-weighted assets in the trading accounts, and includes
the positions and capital of the "Section 20" securities subsidiary (BT Alex.
Brown Incorporated) in the combined credit risk and market risk capital
calculation of the Corporation.  In all other respects (including the exclusion
of the positions and capital of the international insurance entities), the
current capital adequacy guidelines remain unchanged.

    Compliance with the market risk amendment is mandatory by January 1, 1998
for those banking organizations that meet certain thresholds with regard to
their trading activity.  Banking organizations may choose to adopt early during
1997, with prior approval from their primary federal regulator.  See page 22 of
Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K for further detailed discussion
on the market risk amendment.

    The Corporation adopted the market risk amendment as of March 31, 1997 and
was the first banking organization to adopt such amendment.

    Based on their respective regulatory capital ratios as of March 31, 1997,
both the Corporation and Bankers Trust Company ("BTCo") are well capitalized, as
defined in the regulations issued by the FRB and the other federal bank
regulatory agencies setting forth the general capital requirements mandated by
FDICIA, as applicable.

    Comparing March 31, 1997 to December 31, 1996, the Corporation's Tier 1
Capital ratio declined 10 basis points due to an increase in risk-weighted
assets.  The Corporation's risk-weighted assets at March 31, 1997 were $7.7
billion higher than at year-end 1996.  The Total Capital ratio of the
Corporation increased 140 basis points due to the issuance of trust preferred
capital securities and the addition of BT Alex. Brown Incorporated's
subordinated debt as a component of Total Capital (as Tier 3 Capital) in
accordance with the market risk amendment.

    With the adoption of the market risk amendment, the Corporation's Leverage
ratio decreased 80 basis points as BT Alex. Brown Incorporated's average assets
and capital were included in this calculation for the first time.

    BTCo's Tier 1 Capital and Total Capital ratios decreased by 70 basis points
and 80 basis points, respectively, as a result of a $4.3 billion increase in
risk-weighted assets.  BTCo's Leverage ratio increased by 10 basis points.

PREFERRED STOCK

    During the first quarter of 1997, the Corporation redeemed all 1 million
outstanding shares of its 8.55% Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series I at a price
of $100 million. In addition, the Corporation repurchased approximately $6
million of its Adjustable Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series Q and Series
R.


PREFERRED STOCK OF SUBSIDIARY

    During the first quarter of 1997, BT Overseas Finance N.V. ("BTOF"), an
indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation, redeemed all 2,500 shares
of its BTOF Auction Rate cumulative Preferred Stock Series A-D at a price of
$250 million.


LIQUIDITY

    Liquidity is the ability to have funds available at all times to meet the
commitments of the Corporation.  The Corporation has a formal process for
managing global liquidity for the Firm as a whole and for each of its
significant subsidiaries.  Management's guiding policy is to maintain
conservative levels of liquidity designed to ensure that the Firm has the
ability to meet its obligations under all reasonably foreseeable circumstances.
Management maintains appropriate asset liquidity and actively manages
liability/capital levels, maturities and diversification.  The fundamental
objective is to ensure that, even in the event of a complete loss of access to
the liability markets, the Corporation will be able to continue to fund those
assets that cannot be liquidated in a timely manner.

    Most of the Corporation's assets are highly liquid and of high credit
quality.  The Corporation maintains excess liquidity through its base of liquid
assets.  Liquid assets consist of cash and due from banks, interest-bearing
deposits with banks, federal funds sold, securities purchased under resale
agreements, securities borrowed, trading assets, and securities available for
sale.  Securities purchased under resale agreements and securities borrowed are
virtually all short-term in nature and are collateralized with U.S. government
or other marketable securities, or cash equivalents.  Trading assets are marked
to market daily and primarily consist of swaps, options and other derivative
contracts, foreign government securities, corporate debt securities, U.S.
government and agency securities, and equity securities.  The Corporation's
liquid assets amounted to $97.7 billion as of March 31, 1997 and $97.5 billion
as of December 31, 1996, which equaled 77 percent, and 79 percent of gross total
assets at those dates respectively.

LIQUIDITY (continued)

                                   Cash Flows

    The following comments apply to the consolidated statement of cash flows,
which appears on page 5.

    Cash and due from banks increased by $111 million during the first quarter
of 1997, as the net cash provided by financing activities was partially offset
by the sum of the net cash used in investing activities and the net cash used in
operating activities.  The $5.5 billion of net cash provided by financing
activities was primarily the result of a positive net change in deposits ($5.1
billion) and issuances of long-term debt ($2.5 billion), offset in part by
repayments of long-term debt ($1.6 billion).  The $5.0 billion of net cash used
in investing activities was primarily the result of cash outflows from the net
changes in securities purchased under resale agreements ($4.3 billion) and loans
($2.4 billion), and purchases of securities available for sale ($1.8 billion),
partially offset by cash inflows from the net change in securities borrowed
($2.8 billion), and maturities and other redemptions of securities available for
sale ($593 million).  The $363 million of net cash used in operating activities
was primarily the result of a negative net change in trading liabilities ($3.0
billion) partially offset by a positive net change in trading assets ($2.0
billion) and receivables and payables from securities transactions ($271
million).

    Cash and due from banks decreased by $1.2 billion during the first quarter
of 1996, as the net cash used in investing activities exceeded the sum of the
net cash provided by operating and financing activities.  The $7.4 billion of
net cash used in investing activities was primarily the result of cash outflows
from the net change in securities borrowed ($4.6 billion), securities purchased
under resale agreements ($2.3 billion) and purchases of securities available for
sale ($1.6 billion).  This was partially offset by cash inflows from maturities
and other redemptions of securities available for sale ($892 million).  The $3.8
billion of net cash provided by operating activities primarily resulted from a
$2.9 billion net change in trading assets and trading liabilities.  The $2.4
billion of net cash provided by financing activities was primarily the result of
an increase in the net change in securities loaned and securities sold under
repurchase agreements ($8.2 billion) and the proceeds from the issuances of
long-term debt ($1.1 billion), offset in part by cash outflows from a $3.3
billion net change in other short-term borrowings and a $3.3 billion net change
in deposits.

                           Interest Rate Sensitivity

    Condensed interest rate sensitivity data for the Corporation at March 31,
1997 is presented in the table below.  For purposes of this presentation, the
interest-earning/bearing components of trading assets and trading liabilities
are assumed to reprice within three months.

    The interest rate gaps reported in the table arise when assets are funded
with liabilities having different repricing intervals, after considering the
effect of off-balance sheet hedging instruments.  Since these gaps are actively
managed and change daily as adjustments are made in interest rate views and
market outlook, positions at the end of any period may not be reflective of the
Corporation's interest rate view in subsequent periods.  Active management
dictates that longer-term economic views are balanced against prospects of
short-term interest rate changes in all repricing intervals.

===================================  ====


    The Corporation's total cash basis loans amounted to $332 million at March
31, 1997, down $120 million, or 27 percent, from December 31, 1996.

    This decline is primarily attributable to decreases in loans secured by real
estate ($87 million) and highly leveraged loans ($29 million).  Within cash
basis loans, loans secured by real estate were $185 million and $272 million at
March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively.  Commercial and industrial
loans to highly leveraged borrowers were $88 million and $117 million at March
31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively.

    The following table sets forth the approximate effect on interest revenue of
cash basis loans and renegotiated loans.  This disclosure reflects the interest
on loans which were carried on the balance sheet and classified as either cash
basis or renegotiated at March 31 of each year.  The rates used in determining
the gross amount of interest which would have been recorded at the original rate
were not necessarily representative of current market rates.

HIGHLY LEVERAGED TRANSACTIONS (continued)

    The Corporation's outstanding loans were to 130 separate borrowers in 43
separate industry groups at March 31, 1997, compared to 127 separate borrowers
in 43 separate industry groups at December 31, 1996.  The miscellaneous
manufacturing and services group at 11 percent was the only industry
concentration which exceeded 10 percent of total HLT loans outstanding at March
31, 1997.

    In addition to the amounts shown in the table above, at March 31, 1997, the
Corporation had issued commitment letters which had been accepted, subject to
documentation and certain other conditions, of $41 million (which were in
various stages of syndication) and had additional HLTs in various stages of
discussion and negotiation.

    During the first quarter of 1997, the Corporation originated $755 million of
HLT commitments.  It should be noted that the Corporation's loans and
commitments in connection with HLTs fluctuate as new loans and commitments are
made and as loans and commitments are syndicated, participated or paid.

    All loans and commitments to finance HLTs are reviewed and approved by
senior credit officers of the Corporation.  In addition to a strict
transactional and credit approval process, the portfolio of leveraged loans and
commitments is actively monitored and managed to minimize risk through
diversification among borrowers and industries.  As part of this strategy, sell
and hold targets are regularly updated in connection with market opportunities
and the addition of new HLTs.  Retention by the Corporation after syndication
and sales of loan participations has typically been less than $50 million, and
the average outstanding per borrower for the portfolio at March 31, 1997 was
less than $13 million.  However, at March 31, 1997, the Corporation had total
exposure (loans outstanding plus unfunded commitments) in excess of $50 million
to 10 separate highly leveraged borrowers.

    At March 31, 1997, $88 million of the HLT loan portfolio was on a cash
basis.  In addition, $4 million of the equity investments in HLT companies
represented assets acquired in credit workouts, which are reported as other
nonperforming assets.  Net charge-offs of $16 million of HLT loans were recorded
in the first quarter of 1997.  In addition, the Corporation recorded a net gain
of $27.2 million in connection with the sales and/or write-offs of certain
equity investments in highly leveraged companies during the first quarter of
1997.

    Generally, fees (typically 2 to 4 percent of the principal amount committed)
and interest charged (typically LIBOR plus 1.5 to 3 percent) on HLT loans are
higher than on other credits.  The Corporation does not account for revenue or
expenses from HLTs separately from its other corporate lending activities.
However, it is estimated that transaction fees recognized for lending activities
relating to HLTs were approximately $31 million during the first quarter of 1997
and that as of March 31, 1997, approximately $29 million of fees were deferred
and will be recognized as future revenue.

ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS

    In February, 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" ("SFAS No. 128").  SFAS No. 128
establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share ("EPS").
SFAS No. 128 replaces the presentation of primary EPS with basic EPS and fully
diluted EPS with diluted EPS.  Basic EPS excludes dilution and is calculated by
dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS is computed similarly
to fully diluted EPS.

    SFAS No. 128 is effective for financial statement periods ending after
December 15, 1997, and requires restatement of all prior period EPS data.  The
adoption of SFAS No. 128 is not expected to have a material impact on the
Corporation's fully diluted EPS computations.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


    Bankers Trust New York Corporation (the "Parent Company") and subsidiaries
(collectively, the "Corporation", or the "Firm") earned $213 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1997, or $1.88 fully diluted earnings per share.  In
the second quarter of 1996, the Corporation earned $201 million, or $1.77 fully
diluted earnings per share.

    For the first six months of 1997, the Corporation earned $413 million, or
$3.64 fully diluted earnings per share.  For the first six months of 1996, the
Corporation earned $380 million, or $3.33 fully diluted earnings per share.

THE MERGER

On September 1, 1997, Alex. Brown Incorporated ("Alex. Brown") was merged into a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Bankers Trust New York Corporation (the "Merger").
In conjunction with the Merger, each share of Alex. Brown common stock then
outstanding was converted into 0.83 shares of Bankers Trust New York
Corporation's common stock (the "Exchange Ratio").  The Merger was treated as a
tax free exchange.

  The supplemental consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to
the Merger in a transaction accounted for as a pooling of interests.  The
pooling of interests method of accounting requires the restatement of all
periods presented as if Alex. Brown and Bankers Trust New York Corporation had
always been combined.  Generally accepted accounting principles proscribe giving
effect to a consummated business combination accounted for by the pooling of
interests method in financial statements that do not include the date of
consummation.  The supplemental consolidated financial statements do not extend
through the date of consummation.  However, they will become the historical
consolidated financial statements of Bankers Trust New York Corporation together
with its subsidiaries after financial statements covering the date of
consummation of the business combination are issued. The supplemental
consolidated statement of changes in stockholders' equity reflects the accounts
of the Corporation as if the additional common stock had been issued during all
the periods presented. The supplemental consolidated financial statements,
including the notes thereto, should be read in conjunction with the historical
consolidated financial statements of Alex. Brown and Bankers Trust New York
Corporation, included in their Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal years
ended December 31, 1996.


ORGANIZATIONAL UNIT RESULTS

    Organizational Unit business results are determined based on the
Corporation's internal management accounting process, which allocates revenue
and expenses among the organizational units.  Because the Corporation's business
is diverse in nature and its operations are integrated, it is impractical to
segregate respective contributions of the organizational units with precision.
As a result, estimates and judgments have been made to apportion revenue and
expense items.  In addition, certain revenue and expenses have been segregated
and reported in Corporate/Other because, in the opinion of management, they
could not be reasonably allocated or because their contributions to a particular
organizational unit would be distortive.  The internal management accounting
process, unlike financial accounting in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, is based on the way management views its business and is
not necessarily comparable with similar information disclosed by other financial
institutions.  In order to provide comparability from one period to the next,
the Corporation will generally restate this analysis to conform with material
changes in the allocation process and/or significant changes in organizational
structure.

    The Investment Banking business contributed net income of $134 million in

the second quarter, down from $143 million a year ago.  The decrease from the
prior year period reflected lower corporate underwriting revenues and higher
personnel-related costs.  Revenue from private equity investments declined from
the high level of the second quarter of 1996.  For the first six months of 1997,
net income was $244 million versus $255 million for the first six months of
1996.  The year-over-year decrease resulted primarily from lower corporate
underwriting revenues.

    Risk Management Services recorded net income of $7 million in the second
    ------------------------                                                
quarter of 1997, up $25 million from the second quarter of 1996.  Net income was
$18 million in the first half of 1997 compared to a net loss of $22 million in
the first half of 1996.  The prior year periods reflected losses incurred in the
commodity derivatives books when copper prices dropped sharply.  Beginning in

transferred to Australia/NZ.

million from the second quarter of 1996.  Net income was $102 million for the
first six months of 1997 compared to $41 million for the prior year period.  The
current quarter and year-to-date improvement was largely due to strong arbitrage
activities as compared to the prior year periods.

    The Corporation's Investment Management business, which for reporting
                      ---------------------                              
purposes does not include funds management activities in Australia/NZ, reported
net income of $20 million for the current quarter, even with the 1996 comparable
period.  Net income was $43 million in the first half of 1997, up $4 million
from the first half of 1996.  Improved performance fees contributed to the
increase from the prior year quarter and the first six months of 1996.  At June
30, 1997, assets under management in this organizational unit were approximately
$256 billion, compared to $202 billion at June 30, 1996.

second quarter of 1997, down $2 million from the 1996 second quarter.  Revenues
of $208 million were up $11 million from the second quarter of 1996.  The
decline in net income from the year ago quarter reflected higher personnel-
related costs and technology costs.  Net income was $31 million in the first
half of 1997 compared with $38 million in the first half of 1996.

    Net income of the Australia/NZ business was $23 million in the second

quarter of 1997, down $10 million from the second quarter of 1996.  The decrease
from the prior year quarter was primarily due to higher personnel-related costs
as a result of increased staff levels offset in part by improved revenues from
trading activities and fiduciary and funds management.  At June 30, 1997, assets
under management in Australia/NZ's investment management business were
approximately $28 billion, compared to $24 billion at June 30, 1996.  Net income
for the first six months of 1997 was $57 million, even with the first six months
of 1996.

    Asia net loss was $14 million in the second quarter of 1997 compared to net

income of $7 million in the second quarter of 1996.  Thailand is currently
experiencing a significant reduction in its economic growth and the Thai stock
market has experienced a steep decline.  As a result, the Corporation recognized
a decline in value of its unconsolidated investment in a Thai finance company.
Partially offsetting this decline, the Corporation recognized trading gains from
favorable Thai baht currency positions.  The combined effect of these factors in
Thailand resulted in a pre-tax net loss of $22 million.  For the first six
months of 1997, the Asia organizational unit incurred a net loss of $6 million
compared to net income of $12 million in the prior year period.  The decrease
from the prior year period resulted from the losses incurred in Thailand as
previously mentioned.

    Latin America net income was $39 million in the second quarter of 1997, up

$6 million from the second quarter of 1996.  A pre-tax gain of $22 million ($15
million after-tax) was recorded during the current quarter resulting from the
completion of the first stage of the sale of 50% of the Corporation's stake in
Consorcio, the largest life insurance and annuity firm in Chile.  The prior
year's quarter included a $31 million pre-tax gain on the sale of Compensa,
which was the smaller of the Corporation's Chilean insurance subsidiaries.  Net
income for the first half of 1997 was $62 million compared to $53 million in the
first half of 1996.

    Corporate/Other net loss was $73 million in the second quarter of 1997,

first six months of 1997, this unit incurred a net loss of $138 million versus a
net loss of $93 million in the prior year period.  The first half of 1997
included the effects of increased incentive compensation and employee benefits
and consulting expenses associated with several strategic and infrastructure
improvement projects.  The prior year period included higher levels of legal and
professional fees.

    Net interest revenue for the second quarter of 1997 totaled $339 million, up
$73 million, or 27 percent, from the second quarter of 1996.  The $73 million
increase in net interest revenue was primarily due to an $84 million increase in
trading-related net interest revenue, which totaled $148 million for the second
quarter of 1997.  Nontrading-related net interest revenue totaled $191 million
for the second quarter of 1997 versus $202 million for the comparable period in
1996.

    Net interest revenue was $671 million for the first six months of 1997, up
$171 million, or 34 percent from the first half of 1996.  Nontrading-related net
interest revenue totaled $388 million for the first six months of 1997 versus
$405 million for the comparable period in 1996.

REVENUE (continued)

    In the second quarter of 1997, the interest rate spread was 1.16 percent
compared to .81 percent in the prior year period.  Net interest margin increased
to 1.35 percent from 1.16 percent.  The yield on interest earning assets rose by
35 basis points and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities was flat.  Average
interest-earning assets totaled $102.3 billion for the second quarter of 1997,
up $9.0 billion from the same period in 1996.  The increase was primarily
attributable to growth in the loan portfolio.

                                Trading Revenue

    The Firm's trading and risk management businesses include significant
activities in interest rate instruments and related derivatives.  These
activities can periodically shift revenue between trading and net interest,
depending on a variety of factors, including risk management strategies.
Therefore, the Corporation views trading revenue and trading-related net
interest revenue together.

    Combined trading revenue and trading-related net interest revenue for the
second quarter of 1997 totaled $463 million, up $204 million from the second
quarter of 1996.  Combined trading revenue and trading-related net interest
revenue for the first six months of 1997 was $909 million, up $319 million from
the $590 million reported in the first half of 1996.

</TABLE>

                  Second Quarter 1997 vs. Second Quarter 1996

    Interest Rate Risk - The increase in revenue was primarily due to strong
results in the bond market and increased activity in foreign markets including
Europe, Australia and New Zealand.

    Foreign Exchange Risk - Foreign exchange revenue decreased from the same
period last year principally due to a decline in revenue from activities in
Australia.

    Equity and Commodity Risk - Total trading and trading-related net interest
revenue increased from the same period last year.  The prior year period
reflected losses incurred in the commodity derivatives books when copper prices
dropped sharply.

REVENUE (continued)

                      Six Months 1997 vs. Six Months 1996

    Interest Rate Risk - The increase in revenue was principally due to strong
results in the bond market, increased flow of client trading services and
increased revenue from proprietary trading activities.  Improved performance in
Asia, Australia and New Zealand also contributed to the increase.

    Foreign Exchange Risk - Foreign exchange risk revenue increased compared to
the same period last year principally due to improved revenues from proprietary
and customer activities.

    Equity and Commodity Risk - The increase in total trading and trading
related revenue as compared to the same period last year is principally due to
strong revenue from precious metals in the first half of 1997 and nonrecurring
losses in commodity derivatives in the first half of 1996.


                    Noninterest Revenue (Excluding Trading)

                  Second Quarter 1997 vs. Second Quarter 1996

    Fiduciary and funds management revenue was $264 million in the second
quarter of 1997 up $44 million from the prior year period.  Client processing
services, funds management and global private banking commissions contributed to
this increase.

    The Corporation's private equity investment activities largely contributed
to the changes in securities available for sale gains (up $43 million) and net
revenue from equity investment transactions (down $67 million).

REVENUE (continued)

                      Six Months 1997 vs. Six Months 1996

    Fiduciary and funds management fees of $495 million increased $75 million
from the first six months of 1996.  Higher revenue from funds management, client
processing services and global private banking commissions were the primary
contributors to this increase.

    Corporate finance fees totaled $484 million for the first half of 1997, up
$26 million from the prior year period, primarily due to higher fees for
arranging financings, merger and acquisition fees and loan syndication fees.

    The Corporation's private equity investment activities largely contributed
to the changes in securities available for sale gains (up $42 million) and net
revenue from equity investment transactions (down $47 million).


PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

    The provision for credit losses is determined based upon management's
evaluation as to the amount needed to maintain the allowance for credit losses
at a level considered appropriate in relation to the risk of losses inherent in
the portfolio.

    No provision for credit losses was required for the current or prior year's
second quarter.  Net charge-offs for the second quarter were $2 million,
compared with $15 million a year ago.

    In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountant's
Banks and Savings Institutions Audit and Accounting Guide, the Corporation has
allocated its total allowance for credit losses as follows: $767 million as a
reduction of loans, and $206 million as other liabilities related to other
credit-related items.  The Corporation continues to believe that the total
allowance for credit losses is available for credit losses in its entire
portfolio, which is comprised of loans, credit-related commitments, derivatives
and other financial instruments.  Due to a multitude of complex and changing
factors that are collectively weighed in determining the adequacy of the
allowance for credit losses, management expects that the allocation of the total
allowance for credit losses may be adjusted as risk factors change.  Prior
period amounts have not been restated.

million at June 30, 1997 compared to $773 million at December 31, 1996.  The
allowance was equal to 251 percent and 171 percent of total cash basis loans at
June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively.  These ratios were computed
using the amounts that were allocated to loans.

    Impaired loans under SFAS 114, which consisted of total cash basis loans and
renegotiated loans, were $342 million and $489 million at June 30, 1997 and
December 31, 1996, respectively.  Included in these amounts were $128 million

EXPENSES

                  Second Quarter 1997 vs. Second Quarter 1996

    Total noninterest expenses of $1.223 billion increased by $185 million, or
18 percent, from the second quarter of 1996.  Salaries and commissions expense
increased $23 million, or 8 percent, principally due to a 7 percent increase in
the average number of employees and to annual pay increases.  Incentive
compensation and employee benefits, the largest component of noninterest
expenses, increased $125 million due to higher profitability and the increase in
the average number of employees.


                      Six Months 1997 vs. Six Months 1996

    Total noninterest expenses of $2.329 billion increased by $338 million for
the first six months of 1997.  Salaries and commissions expense increased $61
million, or 11 percent, due to an increase in the average number of employees
and to annual pay increases.  Incentive compensation and employee benefits
increased $194 million due to higher profitability and an increase in the
average number of employees.


INCOME TAXES

    Income tax expense for the second quarter of 1997 amounted to $97 million,
compared with $99 million for the second quarter of 1996.  For the first six
months of 1997, income tax expense was $189 million compared with $184 million
in the first half of 1996.  The effective tax rate was 31 percent for both the
current quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 33 percent for the prior
year quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996.



EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

    Primary earnings per common share amounts were computed by subtracting from
earnings the dividend requirements on preferred stock to arrive at net income
applicable to common stock ("net income applicable to common stock") and
dividing this amount by the average number of common and common equivalent
shares outstanding during the period.  Fully diluted earnings per share amounts
were calculated by adjusting net income applicable to common stock for interest
expense on the convertible subordinated debentures and dividing this amount by
the average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the
period.

    For primary earnings per share, the average number of common and common
equivalent shares outstanding was the sum of the average number of shares of
common stock outstanding and the incremental number of shares issuable under
outstanding stock options and deferred stock awards that had a dilutive effect
as computed under the treasury stock method.  Fully diluted earnings per share
further assumes the conversion into common stock of convertible subordinated
debentures, if dilutive.  Under the treasury stock method, the number of
incremental shares is determined by assuming the issuance of the outstanding
stock options and deferred stock awards

EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE (continued)

reduced by the number of shares assumed to be repurchased from the issuance
proceeds, using the market price of the Parent Company's common stock.  For
primary earnings per share, this market price is the average market price for
the period, while for fully diluted earnings per share, it is the period-end
market price, if it is higher than the average market price.


    The earnings applicable to common stock and the number of shares used for
primary and fully diluted earnings per share were as follows (in millions):

TRADING DERIVATIVES

    The Corporation actively manages trading positions in a variety of
derivative contracts.  Many of the Corporation's trading positions are
established as a result of providing derivative products to meet customers'
demands.  To anticipate customer demand for such transactions, the Corporation
also carries an inventory of capital markets instruments and maintains its
access to market liquidity by quoting bid and offer prices to, and trading with,
other market makers.  These two activities are essential to provide customers
with capital market products at competitive prices.  All positions are reported
at fair value and changes in fair values are reflected in trading revenue as
they occur.

    The following tables reflect the gross fair values and balance sheet amounts
of trading derivative financial instruments:

END-USER DERIVATIVES

    The Corporation, as an end user, utilizes various types of derivative
products (principally interest rate swaps) to manage the interest rate, currency
and other market risks associated with certain liabilities and assets such as
interest-bearing deposits, short-term borrowings and long-term debt, as well as
securities available for sale, loans, investments in non-marketable equity
instruments and net investments in foreign entities.  Revenue or expense
pertaining to management of interest rate exposure is predominantly recognized
over the life of the contract as an adjustment to interest revenue or expense.

    Total net end-user derivative unrealized losses were $108 million at June
30, 1997 compared with an unrealized gain of $54 million at December 31, 1996.
The $162 million decrease during the first half of 1997 was primarily due to
increases in long-term interest rates.

END-USER DERIVATIVES (continued)

    The following tables provide the gross unrealized gains and losses for end-
user derivatives.  Gross unrealized gains and losses for hedges of securities
available for sale are recognized in the financial statements with the offset as
an adjustment to securities valuation allowance in stockholders' equity.  Gross
unrealized gains and losses for hedges of loans, other assets, interest-bearing
deposits, other short-term borrowings, long-term debt, and net investments in
foreign subsidiaries are not yet recognized in the financial statements.

REGULATORY CAPITAL

    The Corporation and its banking subsidiaries are subject to various
regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.
The Federal Reserve Board's ("FRB") risk-based capital guidelines addressing the
capital adequacy of bank holding companies and banks (collectively, "banking
organizations") include a definition of capital and a framework for calculating
risk-weighted assets.  In addition, these guidelines specify minimum risk-based
capital ratios to be maintained by banking organizations. The FRB also has a
minimum Leverage ratio which is used as a supplement to the risk-based capital
ratios in evaluating the capital adequacy of banking organizations.  See pages
19 and 83 of Exhibit 99.1 of this Current Report on Form 8-K for a detailed
discussion of these guidelines and regulations.

    In 1996, the FRB and the other U.S. federal banking agencies jointly issued
an amendment to the capital adequacy guidelines to incorporate a measure for
market risk ("the market risk amendment").  Essentially, this amendment changes
the calculation of risk-weighted assets in the trading accounts, and includes
the positions and capital of the "Section 20" securities subsidiary (BT Alex.
Brown Incorporated) in the combined credit risk and market risk capital
calculation of the Corporation.  In all other respects (including the exclusion
of the positions and capital of the international insurance entities), the
current capital adequacy guidelines remain unchanged.

    Compliance with the market risk amendment is mandatory by January 1, 1998
for those banking organizations that meet certain thresholds with regard to
their trading activity.  Banking organizations may choose to adopt early during
1997, with prior approval from their primary federal regulator.  See page 22 of
Exhibit 99.1 of this Current Report on Form 8-K for further detailed discussion
on the market risk amendment.

    The Corporation adopted the market risk amendment as of March 31, 1997 and
was the first banking organization to adopt such amendment.

    Based on their respective regulatory capital ratios as of June 30, 1997,
both the Corporation and Bankers Trust Company ("BTCo") are well capitalized, as
defined in the regulations issued by the FRB and the other federal bank
regulatory agencies setting forth the general capital requirements mandated by
FDICIA, as applicable.

</TABLE>

    Comparing June 30, 1997 to December 31, 1996, the Corporation's Tier 1
Capital ratio declined 10 basis points due to an increase in risk-weighted
assets partially offset by an increase in Tier 1 Capital.  The Corporation's
risk-weighted assets at June 30, 1997 were $10.1 billion higher than at year-end
1996 while its Tier 1 Capital was $840 million higher.  The Total Capital ratio
of the Corporation increased 100 basis points due to the issuance of trust
preferred capital securities and the addition of BT Alex. Brown Incorporated's
subordinated debt as a component of Total Capital (as Tier 3 Capital in
accordance with the market risk amendment), offset by the $10.1 billion increase
in risk-weighted assets.

    With the adoption of the market risk amendment as of March 31, 1997, the
Corporation's Leverage ratio decreased 90 basis points as BT Alex. Brown
Incorporated's average assets and capital were included in this calculation for
the first time.

    BTCo's Tier 1 Capital and Total Capital ratios decreased by 30 basis points
and 50 basis points, respectively, as a result of a $6.1 billion increase in
risk-weighted assets, partially offset by an increase to Tier 1 and Total
Capital of $378 million and $509 million, respectively.  BTCo's Leverage ratio
was unchanged as the increase in the quarterly average assets was offset by the
increase in Tier 1 Capital.

LIQUIDITY

    Liquidity is the ability to have funds available at all times to meet the
commitments of the Corporation.  The Corporation has a formal process for
managing global liquidity for the Firm as a whole and for each of its
significant subsidiaries.  Management's guiding policy is to maintain
conservative levels of liquidity designed to ensure that the Firm has the
ability to meet its obligations under all reasonably foreseeable circumstances.
Management maintains appropriate asset liquidity and actively manages
liability/capital levels, maturities and diversification.  The fundamental
objective is to ensure that, even in the event of a complete loss of access to
the liability markets, the Corporation will be able to continue to fund those
assets that cannot be liquidated in a timely manner.

    Most of the Corporation's assets are highly liquid and of high credit
quality.  The Corporation maintains excess liquidity through its base of liquid
assets.  Liquid assets consist of cash and due from banks, interest-bearing
deposits with banks, federal funds sold, securities purchased under resale
agreements, securities borrowed, trading assets, and securities available for
sale.  Securities purchased under resale agreements and securities borrowed are
virtually all short-term in nature and are collateralized with U.S. government
or other marketable securities, or cash equivalents.  Trading assets are marked
to market daily and primarily consist of swaps, options and other derivative
contracts, foreign government securities, corporate debt securities, U.S.
government and agency securities, and equity securities.  The Corporation's
liquid assets amounted to $101.1 billion as of June 30, 1997, $97.7 billion as
of March 31, 1997 and $97.5 billion as of December 31, 1996, which equaled 76
percent, 77 percent, and 79 percent of gross total assets at those dates
respectively.

                                   Cash Flows

    The following comments apply to the consolidated statement of cash flows,
which appears on page 5.

    Cash and due from banks increased by $188 million during the first six
months of 1997 as the sum of the net cash provided by financing activities and
operating activities exceeded the net cash used in investing activities.  The
increase in cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to the net
changes in deposits ($7.9 billion) and the issuance of long-term debt ($3.2
billion), partially offset by repayments of long-term debt ($2.3 billion).
Within net cash provided by operating activities, cash inflows from other
operating assets and liabilities, net ($877 million), net changes in receivables
and payables from securities transactions ($644 million) and net changes in
trading assets ($530 million), was mostly offset by cash outflows from net
changes in trading liabilities ($2.1 billion).  The $8.5 billion of net cash
used in investing activities was primarily the result of cash outflows from the
net changes in securities purchased under resale agreements ($7.8 billion) and
loans ($4.0 billion) and from purchases of securities available for sale ($2.8
billion), partially offset by cash inflows from the net change in securities
borrowed ($3.7 billion) and maturities and other redemptions of securities
available for sale ($1.9 billion).

    Cash and due from banks decreased $709 million during the first six months
of 1996, as the net cash used in investing activities exceeded the sum of the
net cash provided by financing and operating activities.  The $16.4 billion of
net cash used in investing activities was largely the result of cash outflows
from net changes in securities purchased under resale agreements ($12.0
billion), purchases of securities available for sale ($2.9 billion) and net
changes in securities borrowed ($2.6 billion) partially offset by cash inflows
from maturities and other redemptions of securities available for sale ($1.8
billion). The $10.0 billion of net cash provided by financing activities was
primarily the result of an increase in the net change in securities loaned and
securities sold under repurchase agreements ($9.0 billion) and from issuances of
long-term debt ($2.0 billion), offset in part by a decrease in the net change in
deposits ($517 million) and repayments of long-term debt ($366 million). The
increase in net cash provided by operating activities was mostly due to an
increase in net changes in trading assets ($3.7 billion) and net changes in
receivables and payables from securities transactions ($1.3 billion).

LIQUIDITY (continued)

                           Interest Rate Sensitivity

    Condensed interest rate sensitivity data for the Corporation at June 30,
1997 is presented in the table below.  For purposes of this presentation, the
interest-earning/bearing components of trading assets and trading liabilities
are assumed to reprice within three months.

    The interest rate gaps reported in the table arise when assets are funded
with liabilities having different repricing intervals, after considering the
effect of off-balance sheet hedging instruments.  Since these gaps are actively
managed and change daily as adjustments are made in interest rate views and
market outlook, positions at the end of any period may not be reflective of the
Corporation's interest rate view in subsequent periods.  Active management
dictates that longer-term economic views are balanced against prospects of
short-term interest rate changes in all repricing intervals.

</TABLE>


    The Corporation's total cash basis loans amounted to $305 million at June
30, 1997, down $147 million, or 33 percent, from December 31, 1996.

    This decline is primarily attributable to decreases in loans secured by real
estate ($116 million) and highly leveraged loans ($41 million).  Within cash
basis loans, loans secured by real estate were $156 million and $272 million at
June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively.  Commercial and industrial
loans to highly leveraged borrowers were $76 million and $117 million at June
30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively.

    The following table sets forth the approximate effect on interest revenue of
cash basis loans and renegotiated loans.  This disclosure reflects the interest
on loans which were carried on the balance sheet and classified as either cash
basis or renegotiated at June 30 of each year.  The rates used in determining
the gross amount of interest which would have been recorded at the original rate
were not necessarily representative of current market rates.

HIGHLY LEVERAGED TRANSACTIONS (continued)

    The Corporation's outstanding loans were to 156 separate borrowers in 44
separate industry groups at June 30, 1997, compared to 127 separate borrowers in
43 separate industry groups at December 31, 1996.  There were no industry
concentrations which exceeded 10 percent of total HLT loans outstanding at June
30, 1997.

    In addition to the amounts shown in the table above, at June 30, 1997, the
Corporation had issued commitment letters which had been accepted, subject to
documentation and certain other conditions, of $1.77 billion (which were in
various stages of syndication) and had additional HLTs in various stages of
discussion and negotiation.

    During the first half of 1997, the Corporation originated $2.2 billion of
HLT commitments.  It should be noted that the Corporation's loans and
commitments in connection with HLTs fluctuate as new loans and commitments are
made and as loans and commitments are syndicated, participated or paid.

    All loans and commitments to finance HLTs are reviewed and approved by
senior credit officers of the Corporation.  In addition to a strict
transactional and credit approval process, the portfolio of leveraged loans and
commitments is actively monitored and managed to minimize risk through
diversification among borrowers and industries.  As part of this strategy, sell
and hold targets are regularly updated in connection with market opportunities
and the addition of new HLTs.  Retention by the Corporation after syndication
and sales of loan participations has typically been less than $50 million, and
the average outstanding per borrower for the portfolio at June 30, 1997 was less
than $13 million.  However, at June 30, 1997, the Corporation had total exposure
(loans outstanding plus unfunded commitments) in excess of $50 million to 11
separate highly leveraged borrowers.

    At June 30, 1997, $76 million of the HLT loan portfolio was on a cash basis.
In addition, $4 million of the equity investments in HLT companies represented
assets acquired in credit workouts, which are reported as other nonperforming
assets.  Net charge-offs of $16 million of HLT loans were recorded in the first
half of 1997.  In addition, the Corporation recorded a net gain of $26.5 million
in connection with the sales and/or write-offs of certain equity investments in
highly leveraged companies during the first six months of 1997.

    Generally, fees (typically 2 to 4 percent of the principal amount committed)
and interest charged (typically LIBOR plus 1.5 to 3 percent) on HLT loans are
higher than on other credits.  The Corporation does not account for revenue or
expenses from HLTs separately from its other corporate lending activities.
However, it is estimated that transaction fees recognized for lending activities
relating to HLTs were approximately $77 million during the first half of 1997
and that as of June 30, 1997, approximately $19 million of fees were deferred
and will be recognized as future revenue.

ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS

    In February, 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" ("SFAS No. 128").  SFAS No. 128
establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share ("EPS").
SFAS No. 128 replaces the presentation of primary EPS with basic EPS and fully
diluted EPS with diluted EPS.  Basic EPS excludes dilution and is calculated by
dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS is computed similarly
to fully diluted EPS.

    SFAS No. 128 is effective for financial statement periods ending after
December 15, 1997, and requires restatement of all prior period EPS data.  The
adoption of SFAS No. 128 is not expected to have a material impact on the
Corporation's fully diluted EPS computations.
