LEHMAN BROTHERS HOLDINGS INC. and SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES to CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. ("Holdings") and subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company" or "Lehman Brothers"). Lehman Brothers is one of the leading global investment banks serving institutional, corporate, government and high-net-worth individual clients and customers. The Company's worldwide headquarters in New York and regional headquarters in London and Tokyo are complemented by offices in additional locations in North America, Europe, the Middle East, Latin America and the Asia Pacific Region. The Company is engaged primarily in providing financial services. The principal U.S. subsidiary of Holdings is Lehman Brothers Inc. ("LBI"), a registered broker-dealer. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") with respect to Form 10-Q and reflect all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain footnote disclosures which are normally required under generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. It is recommended that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements incorporated by reference in Holdings' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the twelve months ended November 30, 2001 (the "Form 10-K"). The Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition at November 30, 2001 was derived from the audited financial statements.

The nature of the Company's business is such that the results of any interim period may vary significantly from quarter to quarter and may not be indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year. Certain prior period amounts reflect reclassifications to conform to the current period's presentation.

The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 94 "Consolidation of All Majority-Owned Subsidiaries" and consolidates operating entities when the Company has a controlling financial interest over the business activities of such entities. Non-controlled operating entities are accounted for under the equity method when the Company is able to exercise significant influence over the business activities of such entities. The cost method is applied when the ability to exercise significant influence is not present.

For those entities which do not meet the definition of conducting a business, often referred to as special purpose entities ("SPE's"), the Company follows the accounting guidance under SFAS 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities—a replacement of FASB No. 125," and Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Topic D-14, "Transactions Involving Special-Purpose Entities," to determine whether or not such SPE's are required to be consolidated. The majority of the Company's involvement with SPE's relates to securitization transactions meeting the SFAS 140 definition of a qualifying special purpose entity ("QSPE"). A QSPE can generally be described as an entity with significantly limited powers which are intended to limit it to passively holding financial assets and distributing cash flows based upon predetermined criteria. Based upon the guidance in SFAS 140, the Company does not consolidate such QSPE's. Rather, the Company accounts for its involvement with such QSPE's under a financial components approach in which the Company recognizes only its retained involvement with the QSPE. The Company accounts for such retained interests at fair value.

Certain special purpose entities do not meet the QSPE criteria due to their permitted activities not being sufficiently limited, or because the assets are not deemed qualifying financial instruments (e.g., real estate). In the limited instances in which the Company is either the sponsor of or transferor of assets to a non-qualifying SPE, the Company follows the accounting guidance provided by EITF Topic D-14 to determine whether consolidation is required. Under this guidance, the Company would not consolidate such SPE if a third party investor made a substantial equity investment in the SPE (minimum of 3%), was subject to first dollar risk of loss of such SPE, and had a controlling financial interest.

The Company accounts for transfers of financial assets in accordance with SFAS 140. In accordance with this guidance the Company recognizes the transfer of financial assets as sales provided that control has been relinquished. Control is deemed to be relinquished only when all of the following conditions have been met: i) the assets have been isolated from the transferor even in bankruptcy or other receivership (true sale opinions are required), ii) the transferee has the right to pledge or exchange the assets received and iii) the transferor has not maintained effective control over the transferred assets (e.g., a unilateral ability to repurchase a unique or specific asset).

Securities and other financial instruments owned and securities and other financial instruments sold but not yet purchased (both of which are recorded on a trade date basis) are valued at market or fair value, as appropriate, with unrealized gains and losses reflected in Principal Transactions in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Market value is generally based on listed market prices. If listed market prices are not available, or if liquidating the Company's position is reasonably expected to affect market prices, fair value is determined based on broker quotes, internal valuation pricing models which take into account time value and volatility factors underlying the financial instruments, or management's estimate of the amounts that could be realized under current market conditions, assuming an orderly liquidation over a reasonable period of time.

Underwriting revenues and fees for merger and acquisition advisory services are recognized when services for the transactions are determined to be completed. Underwriting expenses are deferred and recognized at the time the related revenues are recorded.

Commissions primarily include fees from executing and clearing client transactions on stock, options and futures markets worldwide. These fees are recognized on a trade date basis.

The Company recognizes contractual interest on securities and other financial instruments owned and securities and other financial instruments sold but not yet purchased on an accrual basis as a component of Interest and Dividends Revenues and Interest Expense, respectively. Interest flows on the Company's derivative transactions are included as part of the Company's mark-to-market valuation of these contracts within Principal Transactions and are not recognized as a component of interest revenue/expense.

The Company accounts for its secured financing activities, and short and long-term borrowings on an accrual basis with related interest recorded as interest revenue or interest expense, as applicable.

As a result of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack, the Company's leased facilities in the World Trade Center were destroyed and its leased and owned facilities in the World Financial Center complex (including the 3 World Financial Center building owned jointly with American Express) were significantly damaged.

During the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company recognized a pretax special charge of $127 million ($71 million after-tax) associated with the net losses stemming from the events of September 11, 2001. This charge was comprised of charges and costs of $487 million, less estimated insurance recoveries of $360 million.

During the first nine months of 2002, the Company incurred additional costs resulting from the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack of approximately $45 million, primarily related to technology restoration and other costs associated with unusable facilities, which were fully offset by estimated insurance recoveries.

In addition, during the first nine months of 2002, the Company incurred costs of approximately $38 million to repair damage incurred to the core and shell of the Company's 3 World Financial Center facility, which were fully offset by estimated insurance recoveries. Such costs are anticipated to be fully recoverable under the Company's insurance policy.

To date, the Company has collected $300 million of interim advances on its insurance recoveries and is actively pursuing additional amounts including amounts related to business interruption losses.

On September 9, 2002, the Company sold its interest in the 3 World Financial Center building for $158 million, which approximated the carrying value of this asset.

For further information regarding the special charge associated with the events of September 11, 2001 recognized during 2001, refer to Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements incorporated by reference in the Form 10-K.

During the nine months ended August 31, 2002, the Company issued $6,115 million of long-term debt (all of which were senior notes). Of the total issuances during the period, $1,631 million were U.S. dollar fixed rate, $3,042 million were U.S. dollar floating rate, $877 million were foreign currency denominated fixed rate, and $565 million were foreign currency denominated floating rate. These issuances were primarily utilized to refinance current maturities of long-term debt in 2002.

The Company's floating rate new issuances contain contractual interest rates based primarily on London Interbank Offered Rates ("LIBOR"). All of the Company's fixed rate new issuances were effectively converted to floating rate obligations through the use of interest rate swaps. Of the foreign denominated new issuances totaling $1,441 million, $712 million were effectively swapped to U.S. Dollars, with the remainder used to fund foreign currency denominated capital needs.

The Company had $7,237 million of long-term debt ($6,713 million of senior notes and $524 million of subordinated notes) mature during the nine months ended August 31, 2002. Long-term debt at August 31, 2002 scheduled to mature within one year totaled $8,901 million ($8,226 of senior notes and $675 of subordinated notes).

The Company operates globally through a network of subsidiaries, with several subject to regulatory requirements. In the United States, LBI, as a registered broker-dealer, is subject to SEC Rule 15c3-1, the Net Capital Rule, which requires LBI to maintain net capital of not less than the greater of 2% of aggregate debit items arising from customer transactions, as defined, or 4% of funds required to be segregated for customers' regulated commodity accounts, as defined. At August 31, 2002, LBI's regulatory net capital, as defined, of $1,664 million exceeded the minimum requirement by $1,572 million.

Lehman Brothers International (Europe) ("LBIE"), a United Kingdom registered broker-dealer and subsidiary of Holdings, is subject to the capital requirements of the Financial Services Authority ("FSA") of the United Kingdom. Financial resources, as defined, must exceed the total financial resources requirement of the FSA. At August 31, 2002, LBIE's financial resources of approximately $2,522 million exceeded the minimum requirement by approximately $757 million. Lehman Brothers Japan Inc.'s Tokyo branch, a regulated broker-dealer, is subject to the capital requirements of the Japanese Financial Services Agency and at August 31, 2002, had net capital of approximately $346 million, which was approximately $106 million in excess of the specified levels required. Lehman Brothers Bank, FSB (the "Bank"), the Company's thrift subsidiary, is regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS"). The Bank exceeds all regulatory capital requirements and is considered well capitalized by the OTS. Certain other non-U.S. subsidiaries are subject to various securities, commodities and banking regulations and capital adequacy requirements promulgated by the regulatory and exchange authorities of the countries in which they operate. At August 31, 2002, these other subsidiaries were in compliance with their applicable local capital adequacy requirements. In addition, the Company's "AAA" rated derivatives subsidiaries, Lehman Brothers Financial Products Inc. ("LBFP") and Lehman Brothers Derivative Products Inc. ("LBDP"), have established certain capital and operating restrictions which are reviewed by various rating agencies. At August 31, 2002, LBFP and LBDP each had capital which exceeded the requirement of the most stringent rating agency by approximately $24 million and $13 million, respectively.

The regulatory rules referred to above, and certain covenants contained in various debt agreements, may restrict Holdings' ability to withdraw capital from its regulated subsidiaries, which in turn could limit its ability to pay dividends to shareholders.

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into derivative transactions both in a trading capacity and as an end-user. The Company's derivative activities (both trading and end-user) are recorded at fair value on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition. As an end user, the Company utilizes derivatives to modify the market risk exposures of certain assets and liabilities. In this regard, the Company primarily enters into fair value hedges utilizing interest rate swaps to convert a substantial portion of the Company's fixed rate long-term debt and certain term fixed rate secured financing activities to a floating interest rate. The ineffective portion of the fair value hedges were included in "Interest Expense" on the Consolidated Statement of Income and were immaterial for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2002 and 2001.

Market or fair value for derivative instruments is generally determined by either quoted market prices (for exchange-traded futures and options) or pricing models (for over-the-counter swaps, forwards and options). Pricing models utilize a series of market inputs to determine the present value of future cash flows, with adjustments, as required, for credit risk and liquidity risk. Further valuation adjustments may be recorded, as deemed appropriate for new or complex products or for positions with significant concentrations. These adjustments are integral components of the mark-to-market process. Credit-related valuation adjustments represent estimates of expected losses which incorporate business and economic conditions, historical experience, concentrations, and the character, quality and performance of credit sensitive financial instruments.

Unrealized gains and losses on derivative contracts are recorded on a net basis in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition for those transactions with counterparties executed under a legally enforceable master netting agreements and are netted across products when such provisions are stated in the master netting agreement. Listed in the following table is the fair value of the Company's derivative activities. Assets and liabilities represent net unrealized gains (amounts receivable from counterparties) and net unrealized losses (amounts payable to counterparties), respectively.

Assets included in the table above represent the Company's net receivable/payable for derivative financial instruments before consideration of collateral held by the Company. Included within the $14,233 million fair value of assets at August 31, 2002 was $13,445 million related to swaps and other over-the-counter ("OTC") contracts and $788 million related to exchange-traded option and warrant contracts. Included within the $11,555 million fair value of assets at November 30, 2001 was $10,555 million related to swaps and other OTC contracts and $1,000 million related to exchange-traded option and warrant contracts.

With respect to OTC contracts, the Company views its net credit exposure to be $8,895 million at August 31, 2002, representing the fair value of the Company's OTC contracts in an unrealized gain position, after consideration of collateral. Presented below is an analysis of the Company's net credit exposure at August 31, 2002 for OTC contracts based upon actual ratings made by external rating agencies or by equivalent ratings established and utilized by the Company's Credit Risk Management Department.

Counterparty Risk Rating	S&P/Moody's Equivalent	Net Credit Exposure
1	AAA/Aaa	17	%
2	AA-/Aa3 or higher	29	%
3	A-/A3 or higher	33	%
4	BBB-/Baa3 or higher	16	%
5	BB-/Ba3 or higher	4	%
6	B+/B1 or lower	1	%

The Company's credit exposure for OTC contracts (by weighted-average maturity) is set forth below:

Counterparty Risk Rating	Less Than 1 Year		2-5 Years		5-10 Years		Greater than 10 Years		Total
1	2	%	5	%	6	%	4	%	17	%
2	4	%	12	%	7	%	6	%	29	%
3	8	%	13	%	5	%	7	%	33	%
4	3	%	4	%	4	%	5	%	16	%
5	1	%	—		1	%	2	%	4	%
6	—		1	%	—		—		1	%

Total	18	%	35	%	23	%	24	%	100	%

The Company is also subject to credit risk related to its exchange-traded derivative contracts. Exchange-traded contracts, including futures and certain options, are transacted directly on the exchange. To protect against the potential for a default, all exchange clearinghouses impose net capital requirements on their members. Additionally, exchange clearinghouses require counterparties to futures contracts to post margin upon the origination of the contracts and for any changes in the market value of the contracts on a daily basis (certain foreign exchanges provide for settlement within three days). Therefore, the potential for losses from exchange-traded products is limited.

For a further discussion of the Company's derivative related activities, refer to "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments and Derivatives" and the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, incorporated by reference, in the Form 10-K.

The Company is a market leader in mortgage- and asset-backed securitizations and other structured financing arrangements. In connection with these activities, the Company utilizes special purpose entities principally for (but not limited to) the securitization of commercial and residential mortgages, home equity loans, government and corporate bonds, and lease and trade receivables. The Company derecognizes financial assets transferred in securitizations provided that the Company has relinquished control over such assets. For further information regarding the accounting for securitization transactions, refer to Note 1, Basis of Presentation—Consolidation Accounting Policies—Transfers of Financial Assets. The Company may retain an interest in the financial assets it securitizes ("Retained Interests"), which may include assets in the form of residual interests in the special purpose entities established to facilitate the securitization. Any Retained Interests are included in Securities and Other Financial Instruments Owned (principally Mortgages and Mortgage-Backed) within the Company's Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition. During the first nine months of 2002, the Company securitized approximately $105 billion of financial assets, including: $75 billion of residential mortgages, $10 billion of commercial mortgages, and $20 billion of other asset-backed financial instruments.

As of August 31, 2002 and November 30, 2001, the Company had approximately $1.2 billion and $1.6 billion, respectively, of non-investment grade Retained Interests from its securitization activities (principally junior security interests in securitizations) including $0.6 billion and $1.0 billion of commercial mortgages, $0.4 billion and $0.3 billion of residential mortgages, and $0.2 billion and $0.3 billion of other asset-backed financial instruments, respectively. The Company records its trading assets on a mark-to-market basis, including those assets held prior to securitization, as well as any retained interests post securitization. Mark-to-market gains or losses are recorded in "Principal Transactions" in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Fair value is determined based upon listed market prices, if available. When listed market prices are not available, fair value is determined based on other relevant factors, including broker or dealer price quotations and valuation pricing models which take into account time value and volatility factors underlying the financial instruments among other factors.

The tables below outline the key economic assumptions used in measuring the fair value of retained interests:

	Residential Mortgages	Commercial Mortgages	Other Asset Backed
Weighted average life	3 years	1 year	4 years
Annual prepayment rate	8-48 CPR	0-15 CPR	8-15 CPR
Credit Loss Assumption	.5-6%	2-17%	3-10%
Weighted average Discount rate	17%	20%	7%

	Residential Mortgages	Commercial Mortgages	Other Asset Backed
Weighted average life	4 years	1 year	2 years
Annual prepayment rate	6-45 CPR	0-10 CPR	6-12 CPR
Credit Loss Assumption	.5-6%	2-17%	3-10%
Weighted average Discount rate	19%	20%	8%

The tables below outline the sensitivity of the fair value of the retained interests to immediate 10% and 20% adverse changes in the above assumptions (dollars in millions):

The sensitivity analysis in the preceding table is hypothetical and should be used with caution as the above stresses are performed without consideration of the impact of hedges, which serve to reduce the Company's actual risk. In addition, these results are calculated by stressing a particular economic assumption independent of changes in any other assumption (as required by U.S. GAAP); in reality, changes in one factor often result in changes in another (for example, changes in discount rates will often impact expected prepayment speeds). Further, changes in the fair value based upon a 10% or 20% variation in an assumption should not be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in the assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear.

The following table summarizes cash flows from securitization trusts for the quarter ended August 31, 2002:

	Residential Mortgages		Commercial Mortgages		Other Asset Backed
	(in millions)
Purchases of delinquent loans		—		—		—
Cash flows received on retained interests	$	58	$	13	$	5

Securities and other financial instruments owned and securities and other financial instruments sold, but not yet purchased are recorded at fair value and were comprised of the following:

The Company enters into secured borrowing and lending transactions to finance trading inventory positions, obtain securities for settlement, and meet customers' needs. The Company primarily receives collateral in connection with resale agreements, securities borrowed transactions, customer margin loans and certain other loans. The Company is generally permitted to sell or repledge these securities held as collateral and use the securities to secure repurchase agreements, enter into securities lending transactions or deliver to counterparties to cover short positions. The Company carries secured financing agreements for financial reporting purposes on a net basis when permitted under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 41 ("FIN 41").

At August 31, 2002 and November 30, 2001, the fair value of securities received as collateral and securities owned that have not been sold, repledged or otherwise encumbered totaled approximately $48 billion and $38 billion, respectively. At August 31, 2002 and November 30, 2001, the gross fair value of securities received as collateral where the Company was permitted to sell or repledge the securities was approximately $321 billion and $245 billion, respectively. Of this collateral, approximately $312 billion and $234 billion at August 31, 2002 and November 30, 2001, respectively, has been sold or repledged, generally as collateral under repurchase agreements or to cover securities and other financial instruments sold but not yet purchased.

The Company also pledges its own assets, principally to collateralize certain financing arrangements. These pledged securities, where the counterparty has the right, by contract or custom, to rehypothecate the financial instruments are classified as securities and other financial instruments owned, pledged as collateral, on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as required by SFAS 140.

In addition, the carrying value of securities and other financial instruments owned that have been pledged to counterparties where those counterparties do not have the right to sell or repledge were approximately $47 billion and $52 billion at August 31, 2002 and November 30, 2001, respectively.

As of August 31, 2002 and November 30, 2001, the Company was contingently liable for $0.7 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively, of letters of credit, primarily used to provide collateral for securities and commodities borrowed and to satisfy margin deposits at option and commodity exchanges.

In connection with its financing activities, the Company had outstanding commitments under certain lending arrangements of approximately $1.7 billion and $2.1 billion at August 31, 2002 and November 30, 2001, respectively. These commitments require borrowers to provide acceptable collateral, as defined in the agreements, when amounts are drawn under the lending facilities. Advances made under the above lending arrangements are typically at variable interest rates and generally provide for over-collateralization based upon the borrowers' creditworthiness. At August 31, 2002, the Company had commitments to enter into forward starting secured financing transactions including reverse repurchase agreements and repurchase agreements of approximately $68.3 billion and $48.9 billion, respectively, as compared to $52.3 billion and $26.5 billion, respectively, at November 30, 2001. In addition, the Company had other guarantees of approximately $4.3 billion and $2.0 billion at August 31, 2002 and November 30, 2001, respectively. These other guarantees, which are principally overcollateralized with investment grade collateral, consist of liquidity facilities and default protection to investors.

In addition, the Company, through its high grade and high yield sales, trading and underwriting activities, makes commitments to extend credit in loan syndication transactions. The Company utilizes various hedging and funding strategies to actively manage its market, credit and liquidity exposures on these commitments. In addition, total commitments are not indicative of actual risk or funding requirements, as the commitments may not be drawn or fully utilized. These commitments and any related draw downs of these facilities typically have fixed maturity dates and are contingent upon certain representations, warranties and contractual conditions applicable to the borrower.

At August 31, 2002 the Company had lending commitments to investment and non-investment grade borrowers of approximately $6.8 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively as compared to $5.9 billion and $1.4 billion at November 30, 2001. However, these commitments are not indicative of the Company's actual risk as the Company has reduced its credit risk through the use of hedges and has utilized funding facilities to mitigate liquidity risk. The Company views its credit risk for investment grade commitments (after consideration of hedges) to be $3.2 billion and $4.1 billion at August 31, 2002 and November 30, 2001, respectively. The Company views its credit risk for non-investment grade commitments (after consideration of hedges) to be $1.3 billion at August 31, 2002 and $1.4 billion at November 30, 2001. The Company had available undrawn borrowing facilities with third parties of approximately $4.9 billion at both August 31, 2002 and November 30, 2001, which can be drawn upon to provide funding for these commitments. These funding facilities contain limits for certain concentrations of counterparty, industry or credit ratings of the underlying loans.

At August 31, 2002 and November 30, 2001, the Company had commitments to invest up to $522 million and $555 million, respectively, directly and through partnerships in private equity related investments. These commitments will be funded as required through the end of the respective investment periods, principally expiring in 2004.

In the normal course of its business, the Company has been named a defendant in a number of lawsuits and other legal proceedings. After considering all relevant facts, available insurance coverage, established reserves and the advice of counsel, in the opinion of the Company such litigation will not, in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or cash flows, but may be material to the Company's operating results for any particular period, depending on the level of income for such period.

As a leading global investment bank, risk is an inherent part of all of the Company's businesses and activities. The extent to which the Company properly and effectively identifies, assesses, monitors and manages each of the various types of risks involved in its trading (including derivatives), brokerage, and investment banking activities is critical to the success and profitability of the Company. The principal types of risks involved in the Company's activities are market, credit or counterparty, liquidity, legal and operational risks. Management has developed a control infrastructure throughout the Company to monitor and manage these risks on a global basis. For further discussion of these matters, refer to the Risk Management section of Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations incorporated by reference in the Form 10-K and the Risk Management section of Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in this Report.

The Company operates in three segments: Investment Banking, Capital Markets and Client Services.

The Investment Banking Division provides advice to corporate, institutional and government clients throughout the world on mergers, acquisitions and other financial matters. The division also raises capital for clients by underwriting public and private offerings of debt and equity securities.

The Capital Markets Division includes the Company's institutional sales, trading, research and financing activities in equity and fixed income cash and derivatives products. Through the division, the Company is a global market-maker in numerous equity and fixed income products, including U.S., European and Asian equities, government and agency securities, money market products, corporate high grade, high yield and emerging market securities, mortgage- and asset-backed securities, municipal securities, bank loans, foreign exchange and derivatives products. The Division also includes the Company's risk arbitrage and secured financing businesses, as well as realized and unrealized gains and losses related to the Company's direct private equity investments.

Earnings per share was calculated as follows (in millions, except for per share data):

In March 2002, the Company issued $575 million of floating rate convertible notes. These notes bear an interest rate equivalent to LIBOR minus 90 basis points per annum (subject to adjustment in certain events) and mature on April 1, 2022. The notes are convertible at $96.10 per share, in certain circumstances. These circumstances include Holdings' common stock trading at or above $120.125 for a specified number of trading days, as well as the trading price of the notes declining to certain levels, a downgrade in the ratings of the notes and other events. Holdings has the option to repurchase these notes on or after April 1, 2004. The holders of the notes may cause Holdings to repurchase the notes at par on April 1, 2004, 2007, 2012, or 2017, or upon a change of control of Holdings.

During the third quarter of 2002, the Company's Board of Directors authorized an additional 50 million shares of Common Stock for issuance under the Company's Employee Incentive Plan.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS of FINANCIAL
CONDITION and RESULTS of OPERATIONS

The principal business activities of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. ("Holdings") and subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company" or "Lehman Brothers") are investment banking and capital markets facilitation, which by their nature are subject to volatility, primarily due to changes in interest and foreign exchange rates and security valuations, global economic and political trends and industry competition. Through the Company's investment banking, research, trading, structuring and distribution capabilities in equity and fixed income products, the Company continues to build on its client/customer business model. This model focuses on "customer flow" activities. The "customer flow" model is based upon the Company's principal focus of facilitating customer transactions in all major global capital markets products and services. The Company generates customer flow revenues from institutional and high-net-worth customers by (i) advising on and structuring transactions specifically suited to meet client needs, (ii) serving as a market maker and/or intermediary in the global marketplace including having securities and other financial instrument products available to allow clients to rebalance their portfolios and diversify risks across different market cycles and (iii) acting as underwriter to clients.

Marketplace uncertainties experienced throughout 2001 continued into 2002 with a further deterioration in global market conditions experienced in the third quarter of 2002. The current market downturn has been fueled by a number of negative influences including: a heightened degree of geopolitical risks, simultaneously weak levels of economic activity in the U.S., Europe and Japan, and reduced investor confidence levels resulting from corporate accounting practices and governance issues.

These negative fundamentals served to increase both the risk premium and volatility in the global equity markets, which resulted in lower returns in all major equity markets during 2002. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index declined 20% during the first nine months of fiscal 2002, and the NASDAQ experienced even greater deterioration with a 32% decline over this same period. During the third quarter of 2002, all of the major equity indices declined by an additional 12-23% from May 31, 2002. The third quarter of 2002 also saw a number of indices reaching new lows with the S&P 500 realizing a 48% decline from its peak 2000 level and the Nikkei hitting a 19-year low in early September.

Some of the statements contained in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, including those relating to the Company's strategy and other statements that are predictive in nature, that depend upon or refer to future events or conditions or that include words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "estimates" and similar expressions, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements are not historical facts but instead represent only the Company's expectations, estimates and projections regarding future events. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict, which may include market, credit or counterparty, liquidity, legal and operational risks. Market and liquidity risks include changes in interest and foreign exchange rates and securities and commodities valuations, the availability and cost of capital and credit, changes in investor sentiment, global economic and political trends, concerns about possible military action and terrorist activity and industry competition. Legal risks include legislative and regulatory developments in the U.S. and throughout the world. The Company's actual results and financial condition may differ, perhaps materially, from the anticipated results and financial condition in any such forward-looking statements and, accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Fixed income secondary trading markets in the third quarter of 2002 were adversely impacted by record levels of credit downgrades to below investment grade status and by a significant widening of credit spreads to levels not seen since 1998. These market conditions resulted in a 20% decrease in secondary trading volumes in credit products as compared to the second quarter of 2002, as investors rebalanced portfolios into less credit-sensitive products. On the positive side, mortgage-related products saw increased trading volumes, as the historically low interest rate environment continued to fuel robust securitization activities.

Declining market valuations had a direct impact on global equity origination activity. Industry-wide equity origination decreased another 41% from the already weak second quarter volumes. Fixed income origination, which remained strong during the first half of 2002 as a result of the low interest rate environment, showed the effects of the weak market environment in the third quarter of 2002, as signs of a credit tightening began to appear with a significant widening of spreads across most fixed income products. The volume of global debt origination was down approximately 33% and 14% when compared to the fiscal second quarter of 2002 and the fiscal third quarter of 2001, respectively, according to Thomson Financial Securities Data Corp. ("TFSD").

Mergers and acquisitions ("M&A") advisory activity, which slowed considerably in 2001, experienced even further declines in 2002. During the third quarter of 2002, M&A advisory volume fell to its lowest level since 1995, as the combination of corporate governance concerns and weak global equity markets continued to hamper activity. Worldwide completed mergers and acquisitions were down by 54% in the fiscal third quarter of 2002 as compared to the fiscal third quarter of 2001 and down 57% year to date, as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2001, according to TFSD. Announced transaction volumes industry-wide were down by 26% in the fiscal third quarter of 2002 compared to the fiscal third quarter of 2001 and down 32% year to date, as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2001.

Results of Operations
For the Three Months Ended August 31, 2002 and August 31, 2001

The Company reported net income of $194 million for the quarter ended August 31, 2002, a decrease of 37% from the third quarter of 2001. Earnings per common share (diluted) for the third quarter of 2002 were $0.70 as compared to $1.14 for the third quarter of 2001. The Company's pre-tax operating margin for the third quarter of 2002 was 20.0%, and its return on equity was 8.9% as compared to a pre-tax operating margin of 26.7% and return on equity of 16.2% in the third quarter of 2001. Although the 2002 amounts are down versus 2001 comparable amounts, the Company believes that these numbers demonstrate the ability of the Company's franchise to deliver a reasonable level of profitability and returns in an extremely difficult market environment. Despite these market conditions, management believes that the Company's strategy, of building a diversified set of high margin global businesses while maintaining strong discipline around expenses, liquidity and risk management, remains intact.

Net revenues were $1,347 million for the third quarter of 2002 as compared to $1,628 million for the third quarter of 2001. Revenues declined 17% compared to the prior year's levels, reflecting the impact of the difficult market environments experienced in the third quarter of 2002. Despite these difficult market conditions, the Company's strategy has resulted in improved market positions in a number of key areas such as M&A, debt and equity underwriting.

The Company measures the performance of its Capital Markets and Client Services activities in the aggregate, including Principal Transactions, Commissions and Net Interest. Decisions relating to these activities are based on an overall review of aggregate revenues, which includes an assessment of the potential gain or loss associated with a transaction, including any associated commissions, and the interest income or expense associated with financing or hedging the Company's positions. Therefore, the Company views net revenues from principal transactions, commissions and interest, offset by related interest expense, in the aggregate, because the revenue classifications, when analyzed individually, are not always indicative of the performance of the Company's overall Capital Markets and Client Services activities.

Principal Transactions, Commissions and Net Interest revenues decreased 19% to $911 million for the third quarter of 2002 as compared to $1,118 million for the third quarter of 2001, reflecting the negative conditions within the global fixed income and equity markets. Revenues from fixed income products were adversely affected by price deterioration associated with widening credit spreads and defaults, particularly in the investment grade and high yield sectors. Partially offsetting this decrease was improved performance from mortgage products driven by continued strength in securitization activity as a result of historically low interest rate levels. Revenues from equity products were negatively impacted by declining equity indices, which declined approximately 15%, on average, during the third quarter of 2002.

Within these amounts, Principal Transactions revenues were $234 million for the third quarter of 2002 as compared to $637 million for the third quarter of 2001. Commissions revenues were $357 million for the third quarter of 2002 as compared to $253 million for the third quarter of 2001. Interest and Dividend revenues were $3,048 million for the third quarter of 2002 as compared to $3,657 million for the third quarter of 2001. Interest expense was $2,728 million for the third quarter of 2002 as compared to $3,429 million for the third quarter of 2001. The Company measures the performance of its Capital Markets and Client Services business in the aggregate, including Principal Transactions, Commissions and Net Interest. Decisions relating to these activities are based on an overall review of aggregate revenues, which includes an assessment of the potential gain or loss associated with a transaction, including any associated commissions, and the interest income or expense associated with financing or hedging the Company's positions; therefore caution should be utilized when analyzing revenue categories individually.

The decrease in Principal Transactions revenues reflects reduced fixed income and equity product revenues in 2002 resulting from negative global market conditions. In addition, Principal Transactions revenues in 2002 decreased as a result of the transition to a commission-based revenue structure on certain NASDAQ trades, whereas in the prior year, the Company's NASDAQ trades for substantially all of its institutional customers were transacted on a spread basis (with related revenues classified within Principal Transactions).

Commissions revenues increased as compared to the prior year's level principally due to the transition to a commission-based revenue structure on certain NASDAQ trades.

Interest and dividend revenues and interest expense are a function of the level and mix of total assets and liabilities, principally financial instruments owned and secured financing activities, the prevailing level of interest rates, as well as the term structure of the Company's financings. Interest and dividends revenues and interest expense are integral components of the Company's overall customer flow activities. The decline in interest revenue and interest expense from the previous year is principally due to a substantial decline in interest rates over the period. The increase in net interest income in the third quarter of 2002 was due in part to the widening of spreads on credit sensitive fixed income products, which, in combination with lower market interest rates, served to increase the net interest spread earned. The increase in the third quarter was partially offset by a change in the asset mix to generally higher quality assets, which usually produce lower yields.

Investment Banking revenues were $427 million for the third quarter of 2002 as compared to $491 million for the third quarter of 2001. Investment Banking revenues result mainly from fees earned by the Company for underwriting public and private offerings of fixed income and equity securities, and advising clients on M&A activities and other services. Investment Banking revenues decreased 13% from the third quarter of 2001 reflecting the significant market weakness in debt and equity underwriting and low levels of M&A advisory activities. However, the Company's Investment Banking revenues outpaced the market, as it improved its market share of fixed income and equity underwriting and global M&A advisory activities in the third quarter of 2002.

International net revenues of $578 million for the third quarter of 2002 remained flat as compared to the third quarter of 2001. International net revenues constituted 43% of the total net revenues of $1,347 million for the third quarter of 2002 as compared to 36% of the total net revenues of $1,628 for the third quarter of 2001, primarily due to a higher proportion of revenues earned from international Capital Markets businesses. International net revenues, consistent with domestic revenues, saw declines in revenues from equity products, as such results were adversely impacted by declining equity indices. Partially offsetting this decrease were increased revenues from fixed income products in both Europe and Asia.

The Company is segregated into three business segments (each of which is described below): Investment Banking, Capital Markets and Client Services. Each segment represents a group of activities and products with similar characteristics. These business activities result in revenues from both institutional and high-net-worth retail clients, which are recognized across all revenue categories contained in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Income. (Net revenues also contain certain internal allocations, including funding costs, which are centrally managed.)

The following discussion provides an analysis of the Company's net revenues results by segment for the periods above.

In assessing the performance of Capital Markets and Client Services, the Company measures Principal Transactions, Commissions and Net Interest revenues in the aggregate. Decisions relating to capital markets and client services activities are based on an overall review of aggregate revenues, which includes an assessment of the potential gain or loss associated with a transaction including any associated commissions, and the interest income or expense associated with financing or hedging the Company's positions. Therefore, the Company views net revenues from principal transactions, commissions and interest, offset by related interest expense, in the aggregate, because the revenue classifications, when analyzed individually, are not always indicative of the performance of the Company's Capital Markets and Client Services activities.

Investment Banking This segment's earnings result from fees earned by the Company for underwriting public and private offerings of fixed income and equity securities, and advising clients on M&A activities and other services.

Investment Banking pre-tax earnings of $95 million increased 20% from the third quarter of 2001, as a 9% decrease in net revenues was more than offset by a 15% decrease in non-interest expenses. The decrease in non-interest expenses primarily reflected reduced compensation and benefits associated with lower revenue levels and reduced headcount, as well as reduced discretionary spending on business development and professional fees, as the Company continued to focus on minimizing expenses in the current environment.

Investment Banking's net revenues decreased 9% to $418 million in the third quarter of 2002 as compared to the third quarter of 2001 primarily due to decreased market volumes.

Debt Underwriting	$	208	$	228
Equity Underwriting		93		101

	$	418	$	460

Debt underwriting revenues totaled $208 million for the third quarter of 2002, slightly lower than the $228 million recorded in the third quarter of 2001. Fixed income origination volumes were negatively impacted by historically high levels of debt downgrades and a series of high profile defaults, which drove investors to move away from credit products. This resulted in a significant widening of credit spreads to levels that have not been seen since the credit crunch in 1998, which a negative effect on issuance volumes. Nevertheless, the Company's decrease in volume of 10% was less than the decrease for the industry, which declined 14% from the third quarter of 2001, according to TFSD.

Equity underwriting revenues were $93 million in the third quarter of 2002, down 8% from the third quarter of 2001. The decrease in equity origination was due to weaknesses in the global equity markets, as industry-wide volumes dropped to their lowest levels of the year and the weakest quarterly level for the last four years. Industry-wide global equity market volumes decreased 27% during the third quarter of 2002 compared to the third quarter of 2001 and 41% from the second quarter of 2002. Despite the market weakness, the Company's market share improved during the quarter. During the third quarter 2002 the Company participated as the joint lead manager for the largest initial public offering transaction in the quarter.

M&A advisory fees for the third quarter of 2002 were $117 million, down 11% from the third quarter of 2001 reflecting the extremely difficult climate for strategic transactions globally. The Company's completed M&A volume for the third quarter of 2002 significantly outpaced the market, as volumes decreased 10% from the third quarter of 2001 compared to an industry-wide decrease of almost 55%, according to TFSD. Announced transaction volumes also exceeded the marketplace, as the Company's volume rose 31% from the second quarter of 2002 and 18% from third quarter 2001 compared to a market decrease of 8% from the second quarter of 2002 and 26% from the third quarter of 2001, according to TFSD.

Capital Markets This segment's earnings reflect institutional customer flow activities and secondary trading and financing activities related to fixed income and equity products. These products include a wide range of cash, derivative, secured financing and structured instruments.

Capital Markets pre-tax earnings of $130 million decreased 56% from the third quarter of 2001 pre-tax earnings of $298 million, driven by a 24% decrease in net revenues. Capital Markets non-interest expenses decreased 10% during the quarter to $599 million from $667 million in the third quarter of 2001, primarily due to a decrease in compensation and benefits associated with lower revenues, which was partially offset by an increase in nonpersonnel expenses, particularly occupancy costs associated with increased headcount levels, technology spending in order to enhance the Company's trading platforms and

technology infrastructure and a slight increase in brokerage and clearance costs due to higher volumes in certain fixed income structured products.

Capital Markets' net revenues were $729 million for the third quarter of 2002, down 24% from the third quarter of 2001. The decrease in net revenues reflected the difficult market environment, which saw equity indices decline 15%, on average, during the quarter as well as significant widening of spreads. Institutional customer flow activity was concentrated in high quality fixed income products, as equity investors remained cautious given the geopolitical uncertainties and the continued concerns over accounting and corporate governance issues.

Net revenues from the fixed income component of Capital Markets in the third quarter of 2002 decreased 20% from the third quarter of 2001. Revenues from fixed income products were adversely affected by price deterioration associated with widening credit spreads, particularly in the investment grade and high yield sectors. The weakness in the secondary markets was driven by historically high levels of downgrades as well as investor uncertainty due to corporate governance issues, geopolitical risks and continued global economic weakness. Partially offsetting this decrease was improved performance from mortgage products driven by continued strength in securitization activity in the residential sector as a result of historically low interest rate levels.

Net revenues from the equities component of Capital Markets were $200 million in the third quarter of 2002, down 34% from third quarter of 2001. The decrease reflected the continued difficult conditions in the secondary markets, as indices declined 15% on average during the quarter. In addition, the Company recorded reduced revenues in a number of equity products including equity derivatives, equity financing, and convertibles. Revenues from equity derivatives decreased in the third quarter of 2002, as corporate clients reduced their derivative activities due to market and governance concerns. Equity financing was negatively impacted by declining prime broker customer balances, as customers chose to reduce leverage in light of the declining indices. Convertible revenues were down as a result of spreads widening in the underlying bonds, as well as lower levels of secondary trading volumes consistent with the decrease in origination activity. In addition, the Company recorded mark-to-market losses on certain private equity investments to reflect decreased valuations. The increase in commission revenues in equity capital markets was a result of the increase in the portion of revenue derived from institutional commission-based pricing in the NASDAQ market, with related revenues classified within commissions, whereas in the prior year, the Company's NASDAQ trades for institutional customers were primarily transacted on a spread basis with related revenues classified within principal transactions. Despite the adverse market conditions experienced during the third quarter of 2002, the Company was able to build market share in the listed, NASDAQ and Pan European markets.

potential gain or loss associated with a transaction, including any associated commissions, and the interest income or expense associated with financing or hedging the Company's positions; therefore caution should be utilized when analyzing revenue categories individually.

Interest and dividend income decreased by 16% from the third quarter of 2001, whereas interest expense decreased by 20% over this same period. Net interest income increased to $318 million in the third quarter of 2002, benefiting from increased spreads and declining interest rates as well as higher interest earning asset levels in the third quarter of 2002 as compared to the third quarter of 2001.

Client Services Client Services earnings reflect earnings from the Company's Private Client and Private Equity businesses. Private Client net revenues reflect the Company's high-net-worth retail customer flow activities as well as asset management fees. Private equity net revenues include the management and incentive fees earned in the Company's role as general partner for thirty-three private equity banking partnerships.

Client Services pre-tax earnings of $44 million decreased 24% in the third quarter of 2002 compared to the third quarter of 2001. Non-interest expenses increased 8% to $156 million in the third quarter of 2002 compared to $145 million in the third quarter of 2001, primarily due to an increase in occupancy expense.

Client Services net revenues were $200 million in the third quarter of 2002, relatively flat compared to the third quarter of 2001. Private Client net revenues increased 12% to $191 million in the third quarter of 2002 from the third quarter of 2001, as fixed income customer flow reached record levels, demonstrating the resiliency of the Company's high net worth client business, as customers remained invested in a difficult equity market environment through re-positioning portfolios into less credit sensitive fixed income products.

Private equity net revenues declined by $23 million to $9 million in the third quarter of 2002 from the third quarter of 2001 primarily due to an incentive fee recognized from the Company's general partner interest in a single Merchant Banking investment in the third quarter of 2001 as well as a decrease in management fees.

Non-Interest Expenses Non-interest expenses were $1,078 million for the third quarter of 2002 compared to $1,193 million for the third quarter of 2001. The decrease in non-interest expenses highlights the Company's continued disciplined approach to expense management. This ongoing focus is a key element of the Company's strategic objectives. Compensation and benefits expense of $687 million decreased from $830 million in the third quarter of 2001. Compensation and benefit expense, as a percentage of net revenues, remained at 51% for the quarter, consistent with the Company's fiscal 2001 level. Lower levels of revenues in 2002 resulted in lower variable compensation expenses, which decreased by 33% from the third quarter of 2001. Fixed compensation, consisting primarily of salaries and benefits, remained relatively flat, as average headcount has remained relatively consistent during the third quarter of 2002 as compared to the third quarter of 2001.

Nonpersonnel expenses were $391 million for the third quarter of 2002, up 8% compared to the third quarter of 2001. The increase is mainly attributable to a higher level of technology and communications

and occupancy expenses. Technology and communication expenses were $140 million for the third quarter of 2002 compared to $131 million for the third quarter of 2001. The increase is attributable to spending in order to continue to enhance the Company's capital markets trading platforms and technology infrastructure. Occupancy expenses increased to $73 million during the third quarter of 2002 from $52 million during the third quarter of 2001. The increase is principally attributable to the increase in space required for the increase in headcount the Company has experienced over recent periods. Business development and professional fees decreased by 16% and 5%, respectively from the third quarter of 2001, due to lower discretionary spending in response to the current market environment. Brokerage and clearance costs increased slightly from the third quarter of 2001 due to higher volumes in certain fixed income structured products.

Income Taxes The Company's income tax provision was $61 million for the third quarter of 2002 versus $112 million for the third quarter of 2001. The effective tax rate was 22.7% and 25.8% for the third quarter of 2002 and 2001, respectively. The effective tax rate for 2002 is lower than for 2001 primarily due to a greater impact of tax benefits attributable to income subject to preferential tax treatment on a lower level of pretax income, partially offset by an increase in state and local taxes.

Results of Operations
For the Nine Months Ended August 31, 2002 and August 31, 2001

The Company reported net income of $788 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2002, a decrease of 30% from the nine months ended August 31, 2001. Earnings per common share (diluted) were $2.77 for the first nine months of 2002 compared to $3.91 for the comparable period in 2001. Earnings per share computations include the recognition of a special dividend on the Company's Redeemable Voting Preferred Stock of $25 million in the first quarter of 2002 and $50 million in the second quarter of 2001. These special preferred dividends had the impact of reducing earnings per share by $0.14 and $0.19 for the nine months ended August 31, 2002 and August 31, 2001, respectively.

These results reflect the difficult market conditions experienced in 2002, led by a decline in equity capital markets and origination and M&A activities. However, during this nine month period, the Company was generally able to continue to execute its strategy of building market share while maintaining a strict discipline with regard to its expenses, capital and liquidity. Pre-tax operating margin and return on equity were 24.8% and 12.5% (excluding the impact of the $25 million in special preferred dividends), respectively, for the nine months of 2002, as compared to a pre-tax operating margin and return on equity of 29.5% and 20.2% (excluding the impact of the $50 million in special preferred dividends), respectively, for the first nine months of 2001. The Company believes that the discipline in the management of Firm resources and focus on expense management have served to diminish the impact of the unfavorable market conditions.

Net revenues were $4,616 million for the first nine months of 2002 compared to $5,533 million for the first nine months of 2001. Revenues declined 17% as compared to the prior year's levels, as strong fixed income results were more than offset by the negative conditions in equity markets and historically low levels of M&A activity.

The Company measures the performance of its Capital Markets and Client Services activities in the aggregate including Principal Transactions, Commissions and Net Interest. Decisions relating to these activities are based on an overall review of aggregate revenues, which includes an assessment of the potential gain or loss associated with a transaction, including associated commissions, and the interest income or expense associated with financing or hedging the Company's positions. The Company views these revenues in the aggregate, because the revenue classifications, when analyzed individually, are not always indicative of the performance of the Company's Capital markets and Client Services activities.

Principal Transactions, Commissions and Net Interest revenues were $3,220 million for the first nine months of 2002 as compared to $3,956 million for the first nine months of 2001. Principal Transactions, Commissions and Net Interest revenues decreased 19% from the first nine months of 2001, as strong fixed income results were more than offset by a weakness in the global equity markets. Fixed income results were fueled by historically low interest rate levels and increased customer trading volumes, particularly in mortgage related products and investment grade debt, as investors rebalanced portfolios into fixed income products amid geopolitical and accounting uncertainties. The weakness in equity results were driven by declining equity indices and reduced customer flow, as investors had a bias against equity trading.

Within these amounts, Principal Transactions revenues decreased to $1,431 million for the first nine months of 2002 from $2,619 for the first nine months of 2001. Commissions revenues were $978 million for the first nine months of 2002 as compared to $827 million for the first nine months of 2001. Interest and Dividends revenues were $8,843 million for the first nine months of 2002 as compared to $13,070 million for the first nine months of 2001. Interest Expense was $8,032 million for the first nine months of 2002 as compared to $12,560 million for the first nine months of 2001. The Company measures the profitability of its Capital Markets and Client Services business in the aggregate, including Principal Transactions, Commissions and Net Interest. Decisions relating to these activities are based on an overall review of aggregate revenues, which includes an assessment of the potential gain or loss associated with a transaction, including any associated commissions, and the interest income or expense associated with financing or hedging the Company's positions; therefore caution should be utilized when analyzing revenue categories individually.

The decrease in Principal Transactions revenues represents weaknesses in the global equity markets resulting from the continued depressed levels of market volatility and declining equity indices offset by higher fixed income results, driven by historically low interest rate levels, which led to increased customer flow activities. In addition, Principal Transaction revenues in 2002 decreased as a result of the transition to a commission-based revenue structure on certain NASDAQ trades. In the prior year, the Company's NASDAQ trades for substantially all of its institutional customers were transacted on a spread basis (with related revenues classified within Principal Transactions).

Commissions revenues increased as compared to the prior year period primarily due to the migration to institutional commission-based pricing in the NASDAQ market.

Interest and Dividends revenues and Interest Expense are a function of the level and mix of total assets and liabilities, including financial instruments owned and secured financing activities, the prevailing level of interest rates, as well as the term structure and volatility of the Company's financings. Interest and Dividends revenues and Interest Expense are integral components of trading activities. The decline

in interest revenues and interest expense from the previous year is principally due to a significant decline in interest rates over the period. The increase in net interest income was due in part to higher interest and dividend earning asset levels in the first nine months of 2002 as compared to the first nine months of 2001, as well as an increase in spreads earned as a result of lower financing costs.

Investment Banking revenues were $1,362 million for the first nine months of 2002 as compared to $1,539 million for the first nine months of 2001. Investment Banking revenues result mainly from fees earned by the Company for underwriting public and private offerings of fixed income and equity securities, and advising clients on M&A activities and other services. Investment Banking revenues decreased 12% from the first nine months of 2001 primarily as a result of an industry-wide decline in M&A activity, as fixed income and equity origination activities were relatively flat compared to the year-ago period.

International net revenues of $1,714 million for the first nine months of 2002 as compared to $1,949 for first nine months of 2001, a decrease of 12%. International net revenues constituted 37% of the total net revenues of $4,616 for the first nine months of 2002 as compared to 35% of total net revenues of $5,533 for the first nine months of 2001, principally due to a higher proportion of revenues from international Capital Markets businesses.

The following discussion provides an analysis of the Company's net revenues results by segment for the periods above.

In assessing the performance of Capital Markets and Client Services, the Company measures Principal Transactions, Commissions and Net Interest revenues in the aggregate. Decisions relating to capital markets and client services activities are based on an overall review of aggregate revenues, which includes an assessment of the potential gain or loss associated with a transaction including any associated commissions, and the interest income or expense associated with financing or hedging the Company's positions. The Company views these revenues in the aggregate, because the revenue classifications, when analyzed individually, are not always indicative of the performance of the Company's Capital Markets and Client Services activities.

Investment Banking This segment's earnings result from fees earned by the Company for underwriting public and private offerings of fixed income and equity securities and advising clients on M&A activities and other services.

Investment Banking pre-tax earnings of $320 million increased 18% during the first nine months of 2002 compared to the first nine months of 2001, as a 10% decrease in net revenues was more than offset by lower expenses. The decrease in non-interest expenses reflected reduced compensation expenses associated with lower revenue levels and reduced non-compensation related expenses, particularly business development and professional fees, as the Company focused on minimizing discretionary spending in light of reduced revenue levels.

Investment Banking's net revenues of $1,331 million for the first nine months of 2002 decreased 10% compared to $1,482 million for the first nine months of 2001. The decrease in Investment Banking net revenues was primarily due to a decline in M&A advisory revenues, as fixed income and equity underwriting activities were relatively flat compared to the year-ago period.

	Nine Months Ended

	$	1,331	$	1,482

Debt underwriting revenues were $679 million in the first nine months of 2002, essentially flat compared to $676 million for the first nine months of 2001. During the first nine months of 2002, the Company continued to improve its competitive position, as its league table rank for worldwide investment grade issuances advanced to third with a market share of 7.2% from fifth and a market share of 6.5% for calendar year 2001, according to TFSD. In addition, the Company improved its ranking and market share in leveraged finance transactions during the first nine months of 2002 to seventh and 8.6% from ninth and 6.3% for calendar year 2001, according to TFSD.

Equity underwriting revenues of $365 million for the first nine months of 2002 were relatively flat compared to $364 million for the first nine months of 2001, as global market volume picked up slightly, but remained relatively slow, as issuers and investors continued to be cautious. Market-wide global equity origination volumes increased 7% during the first nine months of 2002 as compared to the first nine months of 2001. The Company's market share decreased slightly from 2001, with an increase in common stock offerings but a drop in the Company's share of activity in the convertibles markets.

M&A advisory revenues decreased 35% to $287 million for the first nine months of 2002 from $442 million for the first nine months of 2001. The decrease reflected the extremely difficult global market conditions, driven by weak equity share valuations and corporate scandals. As a result, market volume was at a 6-year low. Despite the low volume of activity in the advisory markets, the Company's completed market share for the first nine months of 2001 improved to 10.4% from 7.4% for calendar year 2001, according to TFSD. Announced market share increased to 11.7% for the first nine months of 2002 from 6.5% for calendar year 2001, according to TFSD.

Capital Markets This segment's earnings reflect institutional flow activities and secondary trading and financing activities related to fixed income and equity products. These products include a wide range of cash, derivative, secured financing and structured instruments.

Capital Markets pre-tax earnings of $686 million decreased 43% from the first nine months of 2001 pre-tax earnings of $1,214 million, driven by a 22% decrease in net revenues. Capital Markets non-interest expenses decreased 11% during the first nine months of 2002 to $1,988 million from $2,233 million in the first nine months of 2001, as a decrease in compensation and benefits was partially offset by an increase in non-personnel expenses, including occupancy costs, associated with increased headcount levels, and technology spending, in order to enhance the Company's trading platforms and technology infrastructure.

Capital Markets' net revenues were $2,674 million for the first nine months of 2002, down 22% from the first nine months of 2001, as an extremely weak equities market was slightly offset by increased customer flow activity in fixed income products.

Net revenues from the fixed income component of Capital Markets increased 2% to $1,886 million for the first nine months of 2002 compared to $1,849 million in the first nine months of 2001. These results were driven by strong institutional customer flow activity in mortgage and credit related products.

Net revenues from the equities component of Capital Markets decreased 51% to $788 million for the first nine months of 2002 from $1,598 million for the first nine months of 2001. The decrease reflects the impacts of the difficult market conditions during 2002, which saw a decline in global equity indices (S&P 500 down 20%; NASDAQ down 32%; FTSE down 19% and NIKKEI down 10%), historical lows in volatility levels, and reduced customer flow, as investors remained wary of geo-political risks and accounting and corporate earnings uncertainties. These negative market conditions resulted in revenue declines across all equity products, in particular, from equity derivatives and convertibles, and private equity. Equity derivatives revenues declined, as low volatility levels and market place uncertainties reduced client demand. Convertible revenues were down as a result of spreads widening in underlying bonds, as well as lower levels of secondary trading consistent with declines in origination activities for these products. Within net revenues from equity capital markets products, commissions revenues increased as a result of the increase in the portion of revenue derived from institutional commission-based pricing in the NASDAQ market with related revenues classified within commissions, whereas in the prior year, the Company's NASDAQ trades for institutional customers were primarily transacted on a spread basis with related revenues classified within principal transactions.

Interest and Dividends: The Company measures the performance of its Capital Markets business in the aggregate, including Principal Transactions, Commissions and Net Interest. Decisions relating to these activities are based on an overall review of aggregate revenues, which includes an assessment of the potential gain or loss associated with a transaction, including any associated commissions, and the interest income or expense associated with financing or hedging the Company's positions; therefore caution should be utilized when analyzing revenue categories individually.

Interest and dividend income for Capital Markets businesses decreased from the first nine months of the previous year by 32%, whereas interest expense decreased by 36% over this same period reflecting the decline in market interest rates over the period. The increase in net interest income reflected benefits from the steepening yield curve environment and higher interest earning asset levels in the first nine months of 2002 as compared to the first nine months of 2001.

Client Services Client Services' earnings reflect earnings from the Company's private client and private equity businesses. Private client net revenues reflect the Company's high-net-worth retail customer flow activities as well as asset management fees. Private equity net revenues include the management and incentive fees earned in the Company's role as general partner for thirty-three private equity partnerships.

Client Services pre-tax earnings of $139 million decreased $8 million during the first nine months of 2002 compared to the first nine months of 2001, as revenues increased slightly to $611 million. Non-interest expenses increased 3% to $472 million in the first nine months of 2002 compared to $457 million during the first nine months of 2001, primarily due to an increase in occupancy expense. Client Services' net revenues increased slightly to $611 for the first nine months of 2002 as compared to $604 for the first nine months of 2001. Despite the weak equity markets, private client net revenues increased to $579 million in the first nine months of 2002 from $546 million for the first nine months of 2001 due to record fixed income activity, which offset declines in equity activity, as the Company's high-net-worth clients continued to reposition their portfolios.

	Nine Months Ended

	(in millions)
Private Client	$	579	$	546
Private Equity		32		58

	$	611	$	604

Private equity net revenues decreased $26 million to $32 million during the first nine months of 2002 when compared to the first nine months of 2001. The decrease is primarily due to lower incentive fees earned on general partnership interests.

Non-Interest Expenses Non-interest expenses were $3,471 million for the first nine months of 2002 and $3,900 million for the comparable period of 2001. The decrease of 11% in non-interest expense highlights the Company's continued disciplined approach to expense management. This ongoing focus is a key element of the Company's strategic objectives. Compensation and benefits expenses of $2,354 million in the first nine months of 2002 decreased 17% from $2,822 million for the first nine months of 2001. Compensation and benefit expense, as a percentage of net revenues, remained at 51% for the first nine months of 2002, consistent with the Company's fiscal 2001 level. The lower levels of revenues in 2002 resulted in lower variable compensation expenses, which decreased by 31% from the first nine months of 2001. Fixed compensation, consisting primarily of salaries and benefits, increased 4% in the first nine months of 2002 from the first nine months of 2001 as a result of the growth in the Company's average headcount over the previous year.

Non-personnel expenses were $1,117 million for the first nine months of 2002 compared to $1,078 million recorded in the first nine months of 2001. Technology and communication expenses were $404 million for the first nine months of 2002 compared to $376 million for the first nine months of 2001. The increase is attributable to spending in order to continue to enhance the Company's capital markets trading platforms and technology infrastructure. Occupancy expenses increased to $213 million in the first nine months of 2002 from $137 million for the first nine months of 2001. The increase is principally attributable to space required for the increased headcount experienced over the recent periods. Business development and professional fees decreased by 25% and 28%, respectively, from the first nine months of 2001, due to lower discretionary spending in response to the current market environment. Brokerage and clearance expenses increased slightly during the first nine months of 2001.

Income Taxes The Company's income tax provision was $315 million for the first nine months of 2002 compared to $466 million for the nine months of 2001. The effective tax rate was 27.5% for the first nine months of 2002, comparable to the Company's tax rate of 28.5% for the first nine months of 2001. The effective tax rate for 2002 is lower than for 2001 primarily due to a greater impact of tax benefits attributable to income subject to preferential tax treatment on a lower level of pretax income.

Liquidity Risk Management Liquidity risk management is of critical importance to the Company, providing a framework which seeks to ensure that the Company maintains sufficient liquid financial resources to continually fund its balance sheet and meet all of its funding obligations in all market environments. The Company's liquidity framework has been structured so that even in a severe liquidity event the balance sheet does not have to be reduced purely for liquidity reasons (although we may choose to do so for risk reasons). This should allow the Company to continue to maintain its customer franchise and debt ratings during a liquidity event.

The Company's liquidity management philosophy incorporates the following principles:

The Company's Funding Framework incorporates these principles and mitigates liquidity risk whenever possible. This Framework is comprised of four major components:

For further discussion of these principles refer to the Liquidity, Funding and Capital Resources section of Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations incorporated by reference in the Form 10-K.

As a consequence of implementing its Funding Framework, the Company has generally shifted to longer-term funding over the past several years. As a result, the Company has continued to reduce its reliance on short-term unsecured debt, which now represents only 1% of adjusted total assets and less than 7% of total debt.

Total Capital The Company's Total Capital (defined as long-term debt, preferred securities subject to mandatory redemption and stockholders' equity) was $48.5 billion at August 31, 2002 compared to $47.5 billion at November 30, 2001. The increase in Total Capital resulted from an increase in equity, principally due to the retention of earnings combined with a slight increase in long-term debt.

Long-term Debt
	Senior Notes	$	36,495	$	35,373

	Common Equity		8,209		7,759

			8,909		8,459

Total Capital		$	48,530	$	47,470

During the first nine months of 2002, the Company issued $6,115 million in long-term debt securities (all of which were senior notes), which was $1,121 million less than maturing debt securities. The Company had $6,713 million of senior notes and $524 of subordinated notes mature during the nine months ended August 31, 2002. Long-term debt increased to $38.9 billion at August 31, 2002 from $38.3 billion at November 30, 2001, with a weighted-average maturity of 4 years at August 31, 2002 and 3.8 years at November 30, 2001.

Credit Facilities: Holdings maintains a Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of banks. Under the Credit Agreement, the banks have committed to provide up to $1 billion for three years with a final maturity in April 2005. The Credit Agreement contains covenants that require, among other things, that the Company maintain a specified level of tangible net worth. The Company views the Credit Agreement as one of its many sources of liquidity available through its funding framework, and as such the Company utilizes this liquidity for general business purposes from time to time.

The Company also maintains a $1 billion Committed Securities Repurchase Facility (the "Facility") for LBIE, the Company's major operating entity in Europe. The Facility provides secured multi-currency

financing for a broad range of collateral types. Under the terms of the Facility, the bank group has agreed to provide funding for up to one year on a secured basis. Any loans outstanding on the commitment termination date may be extended for up to an additional year at the option of LBIE. The Facility contains covenants which require, among other things, that LBIE maintain specified levels of tangible net worth. This commitment expires at the end of October 2002; however, the Company anticipates obtaining a new commitment on similar terms.

There were no borrowings outstanding under either the Credit Agreement or the Facility at August 31, 2002. The Company has maintained compliance with the applicable covenants for both the Credit Agreement and the Facility at all times.

Balance Sheet The Company's total assets increased to $265.2 billion at August 31, 2002 from $247.8 billion at November 30, 2001. The Company's adjusted total assets, defined as total assets less the lower of securities purchased under agreements to resell or securities sold under agreements to repurchase, were $159.9 billion at August 31, 2002 compared to $164.5 billion at November 30, 2001. The Company believes adjusted total assets is a more effective measure of evaluating balance sheet usage when comparing companies in the securities industry. The decrease in adjusted total assets reflects lower equity inventory levels partially offset by increased inventory levels in fixed income products, as the Firm's balance sheet was repositioned to meet increased desire of customers to invest in less credit sensitive fixed income products rather than equity products. The increase in total assets reflects increases in both investing and secured financing associated with increased customer flow activities within the Company's capital markets business.

The Company's Balance Sheet consists primarily of cash and cash equivalents, securities and other financial instruments owned, and collateralized short-term financing agreements. The liquid nature of these assets provides the Company with flexibility in financing and managing its business. The majority of these assets are funded on a secured basis through collateralized short-term financing agreements.

Financial Leverage Balance sheet leverage ratios are one measure used to evaluate the capital adequacy of a company. Leverage ratios are commonly calculated using either total assets or adjusted total assets divided by total stockholders' equity and preferred securities subject to mandatory redemption. The Company believes that the adjusted leverage ratio is a more effective measure of financial risk when comparing companies in the securities industry. The Company's net leverage ratios based on adjusted total assets were 16.6x and 17.9x as of August 31, 2002 and November 30, 2001, respectively. Consistent with maintaining a single A credit rating, the Company targets an adjusted leverage ratio of under 20x. The Company continues to operate below this level. Due to the nature of the Company's sales and trading activities, the overall size of the Company's balance sheet fluctuates from time to time and, at specific points in time, may be higher than the fiscal quarter ends.

The Company, like other companies in the securities industry, relies on external sources to finance a significant portion of its day-to-day operations. The cost and availability of unsecured financing generally are dependent on the Company's short-term and long-term credit ratings. Factors that may be significant to the determination of the Company's credit ratings or otherwise affect the ability of the Company to raise short-term and long-term financing include its profit margin, its earnings trend and volatility, its cash liquidity and liquidity management, its capital structure, its risk level and risk management, its geographic and business diversification, and its relative positions in the markets in

which it operates. A deterioration in any of the previously mentioned factors or combination of these factors may lead rating agencies to downgrade the credit ratings of the Company, thereby increasing the cost to the Company of, or possibly limiting the access of the Company to, certain types of unsecured financings. In addition, the Company's debt ratings can impact certain capital markets revenues, particularly in those businesses where longer-term counterparty performance is critical, such as over-the-counter derivative transactions, including credit derivatives and interest rate swaps. As of August 31, 2002 the short- and long-term debt ratings of Holdings and LBI were as follows:

	Holdings	LBI
	Short-term	Long-term	Short-term	Long-term**
Fitch IBCA, Inc.	F-1	A+	F-1	A+/A
Moody's(1)	P-1	A2	P-1	A1*/A2
Standard & Poor's Corp.(2)	A-1	A	A-1	A+*/A

The Company underwrites, trades, invests and makes markets in high yield corporate debt securities. The Company also syndicates, trades and invests in loans to below investment grade-rated companies. For purposes of this discussion, high yield debt instruments are defined as securities or loans to companies rated BB+ or lower, or equivalent ratings by recognized credit rating agencies, as well as non-rated securities or loans which, in the opinion of management, are non-investment grade. Non-investment grade securities generally involve greater risks than investment grade securities, due to the issuer's creditworthiness and the liquidity of the market for such securities. In addition, these issuers have relatively higher levels of indebtedness, resulting in an increased sensitivity to adverse economic conditions. The Company recognizes these risks and aims to reduce market and credit risk through the diversification of its products and counterparties. High yield debt instruments are carried at fair value, and unrealized gains or losses for these securities are recognized in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Income. Such instruments at August 31, 2002 and November 30, 2001 included long positions with an aggregate market value of approximately $3.8 billion and $3.5 billion, respectively, and short positions with an aggregate market value of approximately $1.2 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively. The Company mitigates its aggregate and single-issuer net exposure through the use of derivatives, non-recourse securitization financing and other financial instruments.

The Company has investments in thirty-three private equity partnerships, for which the Company acts as general partner, as well as related direct investments. At August 31, 2002, the Company's private equity related investments were $825 million. The Company's policy is to carry its investments, including the appreciation of its general partnership interests, at fair value based upon the Company's assessment of the underlying investments. Additional information about the Company's private equity activities,

including related commitments, can be found in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Other Commitments and Contingencies).

In connection with its financing activities, the Company had outstanding commitments under certain lending arrangements of approximately $1.7 billion and $2.1 billion at August 31, 2002 and November 30, 2001, respectively. These commitments require borrowers to provide acceptable collateral, as defined in the agreements, when amounts are drawn under the lending facilities. Advances made under the above lending arrangements are typically at variable interest rates and generally provide for over-collateralization based upon the borrowers' creditworthiness. At August 31, 2002, the Company had commitments to enter into forward starting secured financing transactions including reverse repurchase agreements and repurchase agreements of $68.3 billion and $48.9 billion, respectively, as compared to $52.3 billion and $26.5 billion, respectively, at November 30, 2001. In addition, the Company had other guarantees of approximately $4.3 billion and $2.0 billion at August 31, 2002 and November 30, 2001, respectively. These other guarantees, which are principally overcollateralized with investment grade collateral, consist of liquidity facilities and default protection to investors.

At August 31, 2002 the Company had lending commitments to investment and non-investment grade borrowers of approximately $6.8 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively, as compared to $5.9 billion and $1.4 billion at November 30, 2001. However, these commitments are not indicative of the Company's actual risk, as the Company has reduced its credit risk through the use of hedges and has utilized funding facilities to mitigate liquidity risk. The Company views its credit risk for investment grade commitments (after consideration of hedges) to be $3.2 billion and $4.1 billion at August 31, 2002 and November 30, 2001, respectively. The Company views its credit risk for non-investment grade commitments (after consideration of hedges) to be $1.3 billion at August 31, 2002 and $1.4 billion at November 31, 2001. The Company had available undrawn borrowing facilities with third parties of approximately $4.9 billion at both August 31, 2002 and November 30, 2001, which can be drawn upon to provide funding for these commitments. These funding facilities contain limits for certain concentrations of counterparty, industry or credit ratings of the underlying loans

As of August 31, 2002 and November 30, 2001, the Company had commitments to invest up to $522 million and $555 million, respectively, directly and through partnerships in private equity related investments. These commitments will be funded as required through the end of the respective investment periods, principally expiring in 2004.

For additional information on contractual obligations see the Summary of Contractual Obligations section of Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations incorporated by reference in the Form 10-K.

For a discussion of the Company's use of derivative instruments and the risks related thereto, see Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Derivative Financial Instruments) and the Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments and Derivatives section of Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations incorporated by reference in the Form 10-K.

As a leading global investment banking company, risk is an inherent part of the Company's businesses. Global markets, by their nature, are prone to uncertainty and subject participants to a variety of risks. The Company has developed policies and procedures to identify, measure and monitor each of the risks involved in its trading, brokerage and investment banking activities on a global basis. The principal risks of Lehman Brothers are market, credit, liquidity, legal and operational risks. Risk Management is considered to be of paramount importance in the Company's day-to-day operations. Consequently, the Company devotes significant resources (including investment in personnel and technology) across all of its worldwide trading operations to the measurement, management and analysis of risk.

The Company seeks to reduce risk through the diversification of its businesses, counterparties and activities in geographic regions. The Company accomplishes this objective by allocating the usage of capital to each of its businesses, establishing trading limits for individual products and traders, and setting credit limits for individual counterparties, including regional concentrations. The Company seeks to achieve adequate returns from each of its businesses commensurate with the risks that they assume. Nonetheless, the effectiveness of the Company's policies and procedures for managing risk exposure can never be completely or accurately predicted or fully assured. For example, unexpectedly large or rapid movements or disruptions in one or more markets or other unforeseen developments can have an adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and financial condition. The consequences of these developments can include losses due to adverse changes in inventory values, decreases in the liquidity of trading positions, higher volatility in the Company's earnings, increases in the Company's credit exposure to customers and counterparties and increase in general systemic risk.

Overall risk management policy is established at the Office of the Chairman level. The Capital Markets Committee is chaired by the CEO and consists of the members of the Company's Executive Committee (including the Co-Chief Operating Officers, the Global Head of Risk, the CFO, the CEO of Europe and Asia and the heads of the Company's business units) as well as certain members of the Company's research team. It serves to frame the Company's risk opinion in the context of the global market environment.

The Capital Markets Risk Committee is chaired by the Global Head of Risk, who is a member of the Office of the Chairman, and consists of the Heads of the Fixed Income and Equity Divisions, the Global Head of Credit Risk, the Global Head of Market Risk and the Controller. The committee meets twice a week and reviews all risk exposures, position concentrations and risk taking activities.

The Global Risk Management Group (the "Group") remains independent of the trading areas and reports directly into the Office of the Chairman to the Global Head of Risk. The Group combines two departments, credit risk management and market risk management, into one unit. This combination facilitates the analysis of counterparty credit and market risk exposures, while leveraging personnel and information technology resources in a cost-efficient manner. The Group maintains staff in each of the Company's regional trading centers and has daily contact with trading staff at all levels within the Company. These discussions include a review of trading positions and risk exposures.

Credit Risk Credit risk represents the possibility that a counterparty will be unable to honor its contractual obligations to the Company. Credit risk management is therefore an integral component of the Company's overall risk management framework. The Credit Risk Management Department ("CRM Department") has global responsibility for implementing the Company's overall credit risk management framework.

The CRM Department manages the credit exposure related to trading activities by giving initial credit approval for counterparties, establishing credit limits by counterparty, country and industry group, and by requiring collateral in appropriate circumstances. In addition, the CRM Department strives to ensure that master netting agreements are obtained whenever possible. The CRM Department also considers the duration of transactions in making its credit decisions, along with the potential credit exposure for complex derivative transactions. The CRM Department is responsible for the continuous monitoring and review of counterparty credit exposure and creditworthiness and recommending valuation adjustments, where appropriate. Credit limits are reviewed periodically to ensure that they remain appropriate in light of market events or the counterparty's financial condition.

Market Risk Market risk represents the potential change in value of a portfolio of financial instruments due to changes in market rates, prices and volatilities. Market risk management also is an essential component of the Company's overall risk management framework. The Market Risk Management Department ("MRM Department") has global responsibility for implementing the Company's overall market risk management framework. It is responsible for the preparation and dissemination of risk reports, developing and implementing the Firm-wide Risk Management Guidelines, and evaluating adherence to these guidelines. These guidelines provide a clear framework for risk management decision-making. To that end, the MRM Department identifies and quantifies risk exposures, develops limits, and reports and monitors these risks with respect to the approved limits. The identification of material market risks inherent in positions includes, but is not limited to, interest rate, equity and foreign

exchange risk exposures. In addition to these risks, the MRM Department also evaluates liquidity risks, credit and sovereign concentrations.

The MRM Department utilizes qualitative as well as quantitative information in managing trading risk, believing that a combination of the two approaches results in a more robust and complete approach to the management of trading risk. Quantitative information is developed from a variety of risk methodologies based upon established statistical principles. To ensure high standards of qualitative analysis, the MRM Department has retained seasoned risk managers with the requisite experience and academic and professional credentials.

Market risk is present in cash products, derivatives, and contingent claim structures that exhibit linear as well as non-linear profit and loss sensitivity. The Company's exposure to market risk varies in accordance with the volume of client-driven market-making transactions, the size of the Company's proprietary and arbitrage positions, and the volatility of financial instruments traded. The Company seeks to mitigate, whenever possible, excess market risk exposures through the use of futures and option contracts and offsetting cash market instruments.

The Company participates globally in interest rate, equity and foreign exchange markets. The Company's Fixed Income division has a broadly diversified market presence in U.S. and foreign government bond trading, emerging market securities, corporate debt (investment and non-investment grade), money market instruments, mortgages and mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, municipal bonds, and interest rate derivatives. The Company's Equities division facilitates domestic and foreign trading in equity instruments, indices and related derivatives. The Company's foreign exchange businesses are involved in trading currencies on a spot and forward basis as well as through derivative products and contracts.

The Company incurs short-term interest rate risk when facilitating the orderly flow of customer transactions through the maintenance of government and high-grade corporate bond inventories. Market-making in high yield instruments exposes the Company to additional risk due to potential variations in credit spreads. Trading in international markets exposes the Company to spread risk between the term structure of interest rates in differing countries. Mortgages and mortgage-related securities are subject to prepayment risk and changes in the level of interest rates. Trading in derivatives and structured products exposes the Company to changes in the level and volatility of interest rates. The Company actively manages interest rate risk through the use of interest rate futures, options, swaps, forwards and offsetting cash market instruments. Inventory holdings, concentrations and agings are monitored closely and used by management to selectively hedge or liquidate undesirable exposures.

The Company is a significant intermediary in the global equity markets through its market-making in U.S. and non-U.S. equity securities, including common stock, convertible debt, exchange-traded and OTC equity options, equity swaps and warrants. These activities expose the Company to market risk as a result of price and volatility changes in its equity inventory. Inventory holdings are also subject to market risk resulting from concentrations and liquidity that may adversely impact market valuation. Equity market risk is actively managed through the use of index futures, exchange-traded and OTC options, swaps and cash instruments.

The Company enters into foreign exchange transactions in order to facilitate the purchase and sale of non-dollar instruments, including equity and interest rate securities. The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk on its holdings of non-dollar assets and liabilities. The Company is active in many foreign

exchange markets and has exposure to the euro, Japanese yen, British pound, Swiss franc, and Canadian dollar, as well as a variety of developed and emerging market currencies. The Company hedges its risk exposures primarily through the use of currency forwards, swaps, futures and options.

If any of the strategies utilized to hedge or otherwise mitigate exposures to the various types of risks described above are not effective, the Company could incur losses.

Value-at-Risk For purposes of Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") risk disclosure requirements, the Company discloses an entity-wide value-at-risk for virtually all of its trading activities. In general, value-at-risk measures the potential loss of revenues at a given confidence level over a specified time horizon. Value-at-risk over a one-day holding period measured at a 95% confidence level implies that potential loss of daily trading revenue will be at least as large as the value-at-risk amount on one out of every 20 trading days.

The Company's methodology estimates a reporting day value-at-risk using actual daily trading revenues over the previous 250 trading days. This estimate is measured as the loss, relative to the median daily trading revenue. The following table sets forth the daily value-at-risk for each component of market risk as well as total value-at-risk:

	As of						Three Months Ended August 31, 2002
	Aug. 31 2002			Nov. 30 2001			Three Months Ended August 31, 2002
	Aug. 31 2002			Nov. 30 2001			Average			High			Low
	(in millions)
Interest rate risk	$	17.2		$	14.6		$	15.7		$	17.2		$	13.8
Equity price risk		9.6			15.1			10.0			9.6			10.2
Foreign exchange risk		1.9			1.9			1.9			1.9			1.8
Diversification benefit		(4.7	)		(8.3	)		(5.0	)		(4.7	)		(6.6	)

Total Company	$	24.0		$	23.3		$	22.6		$	24.0		$	19.2

Value-at-risk is one measurement of potential loss in trading revenues that may result from adverse market movements over a specified period of time with a selected likelihood of occurrence. As with all measures of value-at-risk, the Company's estimate has substantial limitations due to its reliance on historical performance, which is not necessarily a predictor of the future. Consequently, this value-at-risk estimate is only one of a number of tools the Company utilizes in its daily risk management activities. The increase in interest rate risk as of August 31, 2002 from November 30, 2001 reflects higher volatility in fixed income securities, while the decrease in equity risk is primarily related to lower equity positions held for customer flow purposes given the current negative equity market environment.

Capital Markets Net Revenues Distribution Substantially all of the Company's inventory positions are marked-to-market on a daily basis as part of the Company's Capital Markets business segment with changes recorded in net revenues. The following chart sets forth the frequency distribution for weekly net revenues for the Company's Capital Markets segment for the three months ended August 31, 2002:

As discussed throughout Management's Discussion and Analysis, the Company seeks to reduce risk through the diversification of its businesses and a focus on customer flow activities. This diversification and focus, combined with the Company's risk management controls and processes, helps mitigate the net revenue volatility inherent in the Company's trading activities. Although historical performance is not necessarily indicative of future performance, the Company believes its focus on business diversification and customer flow activities should continue to help mitigate the volatility of future net trading revenues.

The Company's financial statements are prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, many of which require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing its financial statements are reasonable and prudent. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Fair Value The Company records its inventory positions, including Securities and Other Financial Instruments Owned and Securities Sold but not yet Purchased, at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reflected in Principal Transactions in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Market value is generally based on listed prices. If listed market prices are not available, or if liquidating the Company's position is reasonably expected to affect market prices, fair value is determined based on either internal valuation pricing models, which take into account time value and volatility factors underlying the financial instruments, or management's estimate of the amounts that could be realized under current market conditions, assuming an orderly liquidation over a reasonable period of time. The determination of fair value is fundamental to the Company's financial condition and results of operations and, in certain circumstances, it requires the use of complex judgments. The use of different pricing models or assumptions could produce different estimates of fair value.

Transfers of Financial Assets The Company accounts for transfers of financial assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities—a replacement of FASB No. 125". In accordance with this guidance the Company recognizes transfers of financial assets as sales provided that control has been relinquished. Control is deemed to be relinquished only when all of the following conditions have been met: (i) the assets have been isolated from the transferor, even in bankruptcy or other receivership (true sale opinions are required), (ii) the transferee has the right to pledge or exchange the assets received and (iii) the transferor has not maintained effective control over the transferred assets (e.g. a unilateral ability to repurchase a unique or specific asset). The Company is a market leader in mortgage- and asset-backed securitizations and other structured financing arrangements. In connection with these activities, the Company utilizes special purposes entities principally for (but not limited to) the securitization of commercial and residential mortgages, home equity loans, government and corporate bonds, and lease and trade receivables. The Company derecognizes financial assets transferred in securitizations provided that the Company has relinquished control over such assets.

The Company may retain an interest in the financial assets it securitizes ("Retained Interests"), which may include assets in the form of residual interests in the special purpose entities established to facilitate the securitization. Any Retained Interests are included in Securities and Other Financial Instruments Owned (principally Mortgages and mortgage-backed) within the Company's Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition. The Company records its Securities and Other Financial Instruments Owned, including Retained Interests, at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in earnings.

For additional information on the Company's significant accounting policies see Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) incorporated by reference in the Form 10-K.

The information under the caption "Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Risk Management" above in this Report is incorporated herein by reference.

The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of Holdings (its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively) have concluded, based on their evaluation as of a date within 90 days prior to the date of the filing of this Report, that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by Holdings in the reports filed or submitted by it under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by Holdings in such reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of Holdings, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of such evaluation.

The Company is involved in a number of judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of its business. Such proceedings include actions brought against the Company and others with respect to transactions in which the Company acted as an underwriter or financial advisor, actions arising out of the Company's activities as a broker or dealer in securities and commodities and actions brought on behalf of various classes of claimants against many securities and commodities firms, including the Company.

Although there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome, the Company generally has denied, or believes it has a meritorious defense and will deny, liability in all significant cases pending against it including the matters described below, and it intends to defend vigorously each such case. Based on information currently available, advice of counsel, available insurance coverage and established reserves, the Company believes that the eventual outcome of the actions against it, including the matters described below, will not, in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or cash flows of the Company but may be material to the Company's operating results for any particular period, depending on the level of the Company's income for such period.

LBI and other underwriters of WorldCom, Inc. bonds have been named as defendants in certain lawsuits alleging that the offering materials were false and misleading. Two of the lawsuits are purported class actions filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on July 10, 2002, and the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on July 19, 2002, respectively, arising out of a May 24, 2000, offering of (insofar as the claims against LBI are concerned) $1,250,000,000 principal amount of WorldCom notes. The New York action purports to be brought on behalf of purchasers of the notes issued in, or traceable to, the 2000 offering and generally alleges violations of the disclosure requirements of the federal securities laws. The District of Columbia action purports to be brought on behalf of persons who were participants in or beneficiaries of WorldCom's 401(k) Salary Savings Plan and/or other WorldCom retirement and savings plans and generally alleges violations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act as well as common law claims in connection with the purchase of the notes and WorldCom stock. LBI underwrote $93,750,000 principal amount of the notes in the 2000 offering.

A third lawsuit was filed by SunTrust Bank and Trusco Capital Management in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi on September 16, 2002. Insofar as the claims against LBI are concerned, the Mississippi action alleges violations of the disclosure requirements of the federal securities laws as well as common law claims in connection with the plaintiffs' purchase of a total of $5,025,000 principal amount of WorldCom bonds in offerings in which LBI was an underwriter in 1998 and 2000. One or more of these three actions also name(s) as defendants WorldCom, certain of WorldCom's present or former officers and/or directors, and/or WorldCom's outside accounting firm.

Each of these actions seeks, among other things, compensatory damages. Requests to consolidate these and other pending litigation relating to WorldCom are pending before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation. On July 21, 2002, WorldCom, Inc., filed for protection under the U.S. bankruptcy laws.

LBI has received subpoenas and/or requests for information, documents and testimony in connection with the industry-wide investigations of research analyst independence and related issues from various governmental and regulatory agencies. LBI is cooperating with these investigations. The Company is not currently party to any legal, governmental or regulatory proceedings related to these investigations. In October 2002, the SEC, the NASD, the New York Stock Exchange, the New York State Attorney General and the North American Securities Administrators Association announced a joint effort to conclude the various separate investigations by proposing appropriate settlements to companies under investigation and/or proposing new industry regulations.

In August 2002, plaintiffs filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California a First Amended Consolidated Class Action Complaint for Violation of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Exchange Act of 1934, Corrected Copy, in In re Metricom Securities Litigation. It alleges the same claims and names the same purported class of plaintiffs and the same defendants as the complaint previously reported under the caption Young, et al. v. Dreisbach, et al. in Holdings' 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Actions Regarding Enron Corporation (reported in Holdings' Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended February 28, 2002)

In May 2002, a complaint was filed in the District Court of Galveston County, Texas, 56th Judicial Circuit, against LBI and Holdings by American National Insurance Company and its affiliates. The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory relief and punitive damages for purported violations of securities laws. The complaint is based on the allegations in In re Enron Corporation Securities Litigation (the "Enron Securities Litigation") and asserts that plaintiffs relied on defendants' false and misleading statements in purchasing and continuing to hold Enron debt and equities in their Lehman Brothers' accounts. The complaint alleges violations of the Texas State Securities Act, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence and professional malpractice.

In August 2002, a complaint was filed in the Court of Common Pleas, Civil Division, Franklin County, Ohio, against Holdings along with four other commercial or investment banks, among other defendants, by the Public Employees Retirement System of Ohio and three other state employees' retirement plans. The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory relief and punitive damages for purported violations of securities laws based on the theory that defendants engaged or participated in manipulative devices to inflate Enron's reported profits and financial condition, made false or misleading statements and participated in a scheme or course of business to defraud Enron's shareholders and that plaintiffs relied on defendants' false and misleading statements in purchasing and continuing to hold Enron debt and equities in the State's pension funds. Against Holdings, the complaint alleges common law fraud and deceit, aiding and abetting common law fraud, conspiracy to commit fraud, negligent misrepresentation and violations of the Texas Securities Act.

In August 2002, Capital Management L.P., the former general partner of LJM2 Co-Investment, L.P. ("LJM2"), an Enron-related special purpose entity, filed a third-party claim in Delaware Chancery Court alleging that Holdings' subsidiary LB I Group Inc., an investor in LJM2, together with the other LJM2 limited partners breached the Limited Partnership Agreement by rescinding a capital call.

On September 9, 2002, the Washington State Investment Board, which is a named plaintiff in the Enron Securities Litigation, filed a new purported class action which mirrors the claims in the Enron Securities Litigation. This new action, however, alleges a class period of September 9, 1997, to October 18, 1998, whereas the Enron Securities Litigation asserts a class action period of October 18, 1998, to November 27, 2001. This new action is an attempt to expand the class action period in the Enron Securities Litigation based upon the lengthened statute of limitations in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Actions Regarding Frank Gruttadauria (reported in Holdings' 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended February 28 and May 31, 2002)

Settlements have been agreed to in two of the actions pending in the District Courts.
