PART I

Item 1. Business

General

Alliance Holding was formed in 1987 to succeed to the business of ACMC which began providing investment management services in 1971. On April 21, 1988 the business and substantially all of the operating assets of ACMC were conveyed to Alliance Holding in exchange for a 1% general partnership interest in Alliance Holding and approximately 55% of the outstanding Alliance Holding Units. In December 1991 ACMC transferred its 1% general partnership interest in Alliance Holding to Alliance.

On February 19, 1998 Alliance Holding declared a two for one Alliance Holding Unit split payable to Alliance Holding Unitholders of record on March 11, 1998. No adjustments have been made to the number of Alliance Holding Units outstanding or per Alliance Holding Unit amounts prior to March 11, 1998 except in Item 6, Item 7, Item 8 and Item 11.

In October 1999 Alliance Holding reorganized by transferring its business and assets to Alliance Capital, a newly formed operating partnership, in exchange for all of the Alliance Capital Units (“Reorganization”). Since the date of the Reorganization Alliance Capital has conducted the diversified investment management services business formerly conducted by Alliance Holding and Alliance Holding’s business has consisted of holding Alliance Capital Units and engaging in related activities. As part of the Reorganization Alliance Holding offered each Alliance Holding Unitholder the opportunity to exchange Alliance Holding Units for Alliance Capital Units on a one-for-one basis. As of March 1, 2001 Alliance Holding held approximately 29.8% of the outstanding Alliance Capital Units. The Alliance Holding Units trade publicly on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (“NYSE”) while the Alliance Capital Units do not trade publicly and are subject to significant restrictions on transfer. Alliance is the General Partner of both Alliance Capital and Alliance Holding.

On October 2, 2000 Alliance Capital acquired the business and assets of SCB Inc., formerly known as Sanford C. Bernstein Inc. (“Bernstein”), and assumed the liabilities of the Bernstein business (“Bernstein Acquisition”). The purchase price consisted of a cash payment of $1.4754 billion and 40.8 million newly issued Alliance Capital Units. AXA Financial purchased approximately 32.6 million newly issued Alliance Capital Units for $1.6 billion on June 21, 2000 to fund the cash portion of the purchase price.

As of March 1, 2001 AXA, AXA Financial, Equitable and certain subsidiaries of Equitable were the beneficial owners of 128,475,720 Alliance Capital Units or approximately 51.9% of the issued and outstanding Alliance Capital Units and 1,544,356 Alliance Holding Units or approximately 2.1% of the issued and outstanding Alliance Holding Units. As of March 1, 2001 Alliance Holding was the owner of 73,765,597 Alliance Capital Units or approximately 29.8% of the issued and outstanding Alliance Capital Units. As of March 1, 2001 SCB Partners Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of SCB Inc., was the owner of 40.8 million Alliance Capital Units or approximately 16.5% of the issued and outstanding Alliance Capital Units.

As of March 1, 2001 AXA and its subsidiaries owned all of the issued and outstanding shares of the common stock of AXA Financial. AXA Financial owns all of the issued and outstanding shares of Equitable. For insurance regulatory purposes all shares of common stock of AXA Financial beneficially owned by AXA and its affiliates have been deposited into a voting trust. See “Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management”.

AXA, a French company, is the holding company for an international group of insurance and related financial services companies. AXA’s insurance operations include activities in life insurance, property and casualty insurance and reinsurance. The insurance operations are diverse geographically with activities principally in Western Europe, North America, the Asia/Pacific area, and, to a lesser extent, in Africa and South America. AXA is also engaged in asset management, real estate and other financial services activities principally in the United States, as well as in Western Europe and the Asia/Pacific area.

Alliance Capital provides diversified investment management and related services globally to a broad range of clients including (a) institutional investors, consisting of unaffiliated entities such as corporate and public employee pension funds, endowment funds, domestic and foreign institutions and governments and affiliates such as AXA and its insurance company subsidiaries, by means of separate accounts, sub-advisory relationships resulting from the efforts of the institutional marketing department, structured products, group trusts, and mutual funds and classes of mutual fund shares sold exclusively to institutional investors and high net worth individuals, (b) private clients, consisting of high net worth individuals, trusts and estates, charitable foundations, partnerships, private and family corporations and other entities, by means of separate accounts, hedge funds, and certain other vehicles, (c) individual investors by means of retail mutual funds sponsored by Alliance Capital, its subsidiaries and affiliated joint venture companies including cash management products such as money market funds and deposit accounts and sub-advisory relationships in respect of mutual funds sponsored by third parties resulting from the efforts of the mutual fund marketing department (“Alliance Mutual Funds”) and “wrap” products, and (d) institutional investors by means of in-depth research, portfolio strategy, trading and brokerage-related services. Alliance Capital and its subsidiaries provide investment management, distribution and shareholder and administrative services to the Alliance Mutual Funds.

Alliance Capital provides a broad offering of investment products, global in scope, with expertise in both growth and value oriented strategies, the two predominant equity investment styles, coupled with a fixed income capability in both taxable and tax exempt securities.

Alliance Capital’s investment management and research effort – comprising over 600 investment professionals – is one of the largest and most respected in the investment management industry. Central is the investment research process supported by 292 analysts.

Alliance Capital offers two distinct, equity investment management styles supported by over 440 investment professionals, consisting of two separate equity management and research groups: one dedicated to growth, the other to value. It also offers the two styles used in combination for investment balance.

Since the Bernstein Acquisition, Alliance Capital has combined the fixed income groups into a single 135-person investment management unit with a global market presence. Alliance Capital offers a full array of risk/return fixed income products – from money market funds to high yield portfolios. Our 59-person research group is one of the most formidable teams in an expanding global market for fixed income products.

Equity and Balanced Accounts. Institutional equity and balanced accounts contributed approximately 19%, 16% and 16% of Alliance Capital’s total revenues for 1998, 1999 and 2000, respectively. Assets under management relating to active equity and balanced accounts grew from approximately $42.2 billion as of December 31, 1995 to approximately $152.9 billion as of December 31, 2000.

Fixed Income Accounts. Institutional fixed income accounts contributed approximately 8%, 6% and 5% of Alliance Capital’s total revenues for 1998, 1999 and 2000, respectively. Assets under management relating to active fixed income accounts increased from approximately $35.7 billion as of December 31, 1995 to approximately $68.7 billion as of December 31, 2000.

Clients

The approximately 3,006 separately managed accounts for institutional investor for which Alliance Capital acts as investment manager include corporate employee benefit plans, public employee retirement systems, AXA and its insurance company subsidiaries, endowments, foundations, foreign governments, multi-employer pension plans and financial and other institutions.

As of December 31, 2000, AXA and the general and separate accounts of Equitable and its insurance company subsidiary, including investments made by these accounts in EQAT (See “Retail Services – Variable Products”), represented approximately 22%, 20% and 15% of total assets under management by Alliance Capital at December 31, 1998, 1999 and 2000, respectively, and approximately 11%, 8% and 6% of Alliance Capital’s total revenues for 1998, 1999 and 2000, respectively. Taken as a whole they comprise Alliance Capital’s largest institutional client.

As of December 31, 2000 corporate employee benefit plan accounts represented approximately 13% of total assets under management by Alliance Capital. Assets under management for other tax-exempt accounts, including public employee benefit funds organized by government agencies and municipalities, endowments, foundations and multi–employer employee benefit plans, represented approximately 34% of total assets under management as of December 31, 2000.

The following table lists Alliance Capital’s ten largest institutional clients, ranked in order of size of total assets under management as of December 31, 2000. Since Alliance Capital’s fee schedules vary based on the type of account, the table does not reflect the ten largest revenue generating clients.

These institutional clients accounted for approximately 18% of Alliance Capital’s total assets under management at December 31, 2000 and approximately 8% of Alliance Capital’s total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2000 (25% and 11%, respectively, if the investments by the separate accounts of Equitable in EQAT were included). No single institutional client other than Equitable and its insurance company subsidiary accounted for more than approximately 1% of Alliance Capital’s total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2000. AXA and the general and separate accounts of Equitable and their subsidiaries accounted for approximately 7% of Alliance Capital’s total assets under management at December 31, 2000 and approximately 2% of Alliance Capital’s total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2000 (15% and 6% respectively, if the investments by the separate accounts of Equitable in EQAT were included).

Since its inception, Alliance Capital has experienced periods when it gained significant numbers of new accounts or amounts of assets under management and periods when it lost significant accounts or assets under management. These fluctuations result from, among other things, the relative attractiveness of Alliance Capital’s investment style or level of performance under prevailing market conditions, changes in the investment patterns of clients that result in a shift in assets under management and other circumstances such as changes in the management or control of a client.

Institutional Investment Management Agreements and Fees

Alliance Capital’s accounts for institutional investors are managed pursuant to a written investment management agreement between the client and Alliance Capital, which usually is terminable at any time or upon relatively short notice by either party. In general, Alliance Capital’s contracts may not be assigned without the consent of the client.

In providing investment management services to institutional clients, Alliance Capital is principally compensated on the basis of fees calculated as a percentage of assets under management. Fees are generally billed quarterly and are calculated on the value of an account at the beginning or end of a quarter or on the average of such values during the quarter. As a result, fluctuations in the amount or value of assets under management are reflected in revenues from management fees within two calendar quarters.

Management fees paid on equity and balanced accounts are generally charged in accordance with a fee schedule based on a percentage of assets under management. Fees for the management of fixed income portfolios generally are charged in accordance with lower fee schedules, while fees for passive equity portfolios typically are even lower. With respect to approximately 7% of assets under management for institutional investors, Alliance Capital charges performance–based fees, which consist of a relatively low base fee plus an additional fee if investment performance for the account exceeds certain benchmarks. No assurance can be given that such fee arrangements will not become more common in the investment management industry. Utilization of such fee arrangements by Alliance Capital on a broader basis could create greater fluctuations in Alliance Capital’s revenues.

In connection with the investment advisory services provided to the general and separate accounts of Equitable and its insurance company subsidiary Alliance Capital provides ancillary accounting, valuation, reporting, treasury and other services. Equitable and its insurance company subsidiary compensate Alliance Capital for such services. See “Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions”.

Marketing

Alliance Capital’s institutional products are marketed by specialists who solicit business for the entire range of Alliance Capital’s institutional account management services. Alliance Capital’s institutional marketing structure supports its commitment to provide comprehensive and timely client service. A client service representative is assigned to each institutional account. This individual is available to meet with the client as often as necessary and attends client meetings with the portfolio manager.

PRIVATE CLIENT SERVICES

Alliance Capital provides investment management services to private clients consisting of high net worth individuals, trusts and estates, charitable foundations, partnerships, private and family corporations and other similar entities by means of separate accounts, hedge funds and certain other vehicles. Private clients were a core client group of Bernstein for over 30 years prior to the acquisition of the business and assets of Bernstein by Alliance Capital on October 2, 2000. The former private client services group of Bernstein is now known as the Bernstein Investment Research and Management unit of Alliance Capital ("BIRM"). BIRM targets households with financial assets of $1 million or more and has a minimum account size of $400,000. BIRM’s services consist of customized, tax-sensitive investment planning across a broad range of investment options.

BIRM’s private client activities are built on a direct sales effort that involves over 120 advisors. These financial advisors work with private clients and their tax, legal and other advisors to tailor long-range investment plans to meet each client’s needs. The portfolio created for each private client is intended to maximize after-tax investment returns given a client’s individual investment goals, income requirements, risk tolerance, tax considerations and any other consideration relevant for that client.

Revenues from private clients, which represented 46% of Bernstein’s total revenues for the year ended December 31, 1999 and 6% of Alliance Capital’s for the year ended December 31, 2000, consist primarily of investment management fees earned from managing assets and, in the case of clients of BIRM, also include transaction charges earned by executing trading activities relating to U.S. equities under management for its clients. Fees for the management of hedge funds are higher than the fees charged for equity and balanced accounts and also provide for the payment of performance fees or carried interests to Alliance Capital.

Their goal is to provide investment perspective for clients in order to assist them in determining a suitable mix of U.S. and non-U.S. equity securities and fixed income investments. The financial advisors are based in New York City, Los Angeles, West Palm Beach, Chicago, Dallas, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., White Plains and Seattle. These offices reach not only the targeted market within these cities but also the surrounding areas.

BIRM’s private client marketing group also has established an extensive nationwide referral-source network, including accountants, attorneys and consultants. These professionals serve many of the targeted clients. As part of this strategy, meetings for professionals are organized in many cities and BIRM’s private client marketing group regularly provides them with written materials to inform them of investment insights and services.

RETAIL SERVICES

Alliance Capital’s Retail Services consist of furnishing investment management and related services to individual investors by means of retail mutual funds sponsored by Alliance Capital, its subsidiaries and affiliated joint venture companies including cash management products such as money market funds and deposit accounts and sub-advisory relationships resulting from the efforts of the mutual fund marketing department (“Alliance Mutual Funds”) and “wrap” products. The net assets comprising the Alliance Mutual Funds on December 31, 2000 amounted to approximately $163.3 billion. The assets of the Alliance Mutual Funds are managed by the same investment professionals who manage Alliance Capital’s accounts of institutional investors and high net-worth individuals.

Alliance Mutual Funds and Wrap Fee Programs

Alliance Capital has been managing mutual funds since 1971. Since then, Alliance Capital has sponsored open-end load mutual funds and closed-end mutual funds (i) registered as investment companies under the Investment Company Act (“U.S. Funds”), and (ii) which are not registered under the Investment Company Act and which are not publicly offered to United States persons (“Offshore Funds”). Alliance Capital also manages retail wrap fee programs, which are sponsored by various registered broker-dealers (“Wrap Fee Programs”). On December 31, 2000 net assets in the Alliance Mutual Funds and Wrap Fee Programs totaled approximately $92.6 billion.

Variable Products

Alliance Capital is a sub-adviser to EQAT, which is the funding vehicle for the variable annuity and variable life insurance products offered by Equitable and its insurance company subsidiary. The Alliance Variable Products Series Fund is a funding vehicle for variable annuity and variable life insurance products offered by other unaffiliated insurance companies. On December 31, 2000 the net assets of the portfolios of the Variable Products totaled approximately $41.2 billion:

Distribution. The Alliance Mutual Funds are distributed to individual investors through broker–dealers, insurance sales representatives, banks, registered investment advisers, financial planners and other financial intermediaries. Alliance Fund Distributors, Inc. (“AFD”), a registered broker-dealer and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alliance Capital, serves as the principal underwriter and distributor of the U.S. Funds and serves as a placing or distribution agent for most of the Offshore Funds. There are 295 sales representatives who devote their time exclusively to promoting the sale of shares of Alliance Mutual Funds by financial intermediaries.

Alliance Capital maintains a mutual fund distribution system (the “System”) which permits open-end Alliance Mutual Funds to offer investors various options for the purchase of mutual fund shares, including the purchase of Front-End Load Shares and Back-End Load Shares. The Front-End Load Shares are subject to a conventional front-end sales charge paid by investors to AFD at the time of sale. AFD in turn compensates the financial intermediaries distributing the funds from the front-end sales charge paid by investors. For Back-End Load Shares, investors do not pay a front-end sales charge although, if there are redemptions before the expiration of the minimum holding period (which ranges from one year to four years), investors pay a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) to AFD. While AFD is obligated to compensate the financial intermediaries at the time of the purchase of Back-End Load Shares, it receives higher ongoing distribution fees from the funds. Payments made to financial intermediaries in connection with the sale of Back-End Load Shares under the System, net of CDSC received, reduced cash flow from operations by approximately $330.6 million and $393.4 million during 2000 and 1999, respectively. Management of Alliance Capital believes AFD will recover the payments made to financial intermediaries for the sale of Back-End Load Shares from the higher distribution fees and CDSC it receives over periods not exceeding 5 ½ years.

The rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. effectively limit the aggregate of all front-end, deferred and asset-based sales charges paid to AFD with respect to any class of its shares by each open-end U.S. Fund to 6.25% of cumulative gross sales of shares of that class, plus interest at the prime rate plus 1% per annum.

The open-end U.S. Funds and Offshore Funds have entered into agreements with AFD under which AFD is paid a distribution services fee. Alliance Capital uses borrowings and its own resources to finance distribution of open-end Alliance Mutual Fund shares.

The selling and distribution agreements between AFD and the financial intermediaries that distribute Alliance Mutual Funds are terminable by either party upon notice (generally of not more than sixty days) and do not obligate the financial intermediary to sell any specific amount of fund shares. A small amount of mutual fund sales is made directly by AFD, in which case AFD retains the entire sales charge.

During 2000 the ten financial intermediaries responsible for the largest volume of sales of open-end U.S. Funds and Variable Products were responsible for 48% of such sales. AXA Advisors, LLC (“AXA Advisors”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of AXA Financial that utilizes members of Equitable’s insurance agency sales force as its registered representatives, has entered into a selected dealer agreement with AFD and, together with its predecessor, since 1986 has been responsible for a significant portion of total sales of shares of open-end U.S. Funds and Offshore Funds (5%, 4% and 4% in 1998, 1999 and 2000, respectively). AXA Advisors is under no obligation to sell a specific amount of fund shares and also sells shares of mutual funds sponsored by organizations unaffiliated with Equitable.

Subsidiaries of Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. (collectively “Merrill Lynch”) were responsible for approximately 26%, 26% and 18% of open-end Alliance Mutual Fund sales in 1998, 1999, 2000, respectively. Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”), parent company of Salomon Smith Barney & Co., Inc., was responsible for approximately 6% of open-end Alliance Mutual Fund sales in 1998, 6% in 1999 and 5% in 2000. Neither Merrill Lynch nor Citigroup is under any obligation to sell a specific amount of Alliance Mutual Fund shares and each also sells shares of mutual funds that it sponsors and which are sponsored by unaffiliated organizations.

No dealer or agent other than AXA Advisors, Merrill Lynch and Citigroup has in any year since 1995 accounted for more than 10% of the sales of open-end Alliance Mutual Funds.

Many of the financial intermediaries that sell shares of Alliance Mutual Funds also offer shares of funds not managed by Alliance Capital and frequently offer shares of funds managed by their own affiliates.

Based on industry sales data reported by the Investment Company Institute (January 2001), Alliance Capital’s market share in the U.S. mutual fund industry is 1.44% of total industry assets and Alliance Capital accounted for 1.59% of total open-end industry sales in the U.S. during 2000. While the performance of the Alliance Mutual Funds is a factor in the sale of their shares, there are other factors contributing to success in sales of mutual fund shares that are not as important in institutional investment management services. These factors include the level and quality of shareholder services (see “Shareholder and Administration Services” below) and the amounts and types of distribution assistance and administrative services payments. Alliance Capital believes that its compensation programs with financial intermediaries are competitive with others in the industry.

Under current interpretations of the Glass-Steagall Act and other laws and regulations governing depository institutions, banks and certain of their affiliates generally are permitted to act as agent for their customers in connection with the purchase of mutual fund shares and to receive as compensation a portion of the sales charges paid with respect to such purchases. During 2000 banks and their affiliates accounted for approximately 8.5% of the sales of shares of open-end U.S. Funds and Variable Products.

Investment Management Agreements and Fees. Investment management fees from the Alliance Mutual Funds, EQAT and the Variable Products are based upon a percentage of average net assets. As certain of the U.S. Funds have grown, fee schedules have been revised to provide lower incremental fees above certain asset levels. Fees paid by the U.S. Funds and EQAT are fixed annually by negotiation between Alliance Capital and the board of directors or trustees of each U.S. Fund and EQAT, including a majority of the disinterested directors or trustees. Changes in fees must be approved by the shareholders of each U.S. Fund and EQAT. In general, the investment management agreements with the U.S. Funds and EQ Advisors Trust provide for termination at any time upon 60 days’ notice.

Under each investment management agreement with a U.S. Fund, Alliance Capital provides the U.S. Fund with investment management services, office space and order placement facilities and pays all compensation of directors or trustees and officers of the U.S. Fund who are affiliated persons of Alliance Capital. Each U.S. Fund pays all of its other expenses. If the expenses of a U.S. Fund exceed an expense limit established under the securities laws of any state in which shares of that U.S. Fund are qualified for sale or as prescribed in the U.S. Fund’s investment management agreement, Alliance Capital absorbs such excess through a reduction in the investment management fee. Currently, Alliance Capital believes that California and South Dakota are the only states to impose such a limit. The expense ratios for the U.S. Funds during their most recent fiscal year ranged from 0.65% to 3.22%. In connection with newly organized U.S. Funds, Alliance Capital may also agree to reduce its fee or bear certain expenses to limit expenses during an initial period of operations.

Cash Management Services

Alliance Capital provides cash management services to individual investors through a product line comprising 17 money market fund portfolios, including one offshore money market fund domiciled in the Cayman Islands and 3 types of brokered money market deposit accounts. Net assets in these products as of December 31, 2000 totaled approximately $29.5 billion.

Assets under management exclude certain non-discretionary advisory relationships and reflect 100% of the assets managed by unconsolidated affiliates.

Under its investment management agreement with each money market fund, Alliance Capital is paid an investment management fee based on a percentage of the fund’s average net assets. In the case of certain money market funds, the fee is payable at lesser rates with respect to average net assets in excess of $1.25 billion. For distribution and account maintenance services rendered in connection with the sale of money market deposit accounts, Alliance Capital receives fees from the participating banks that are based on outstanding account balances. Because the money market deposit account programs involve no investment management functions to be performed by Alliance Capital, Alliance Capital’s costs of maintaining the account programs are less, on a relative basis, than its costs of managing the money market funds.

On December 31, 2000 more than 99% of the assets invested in Alliance Capital’s cash management programs were attributable to regional broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries, with the remainder coming directly from the public. On December 31, 2000 more than 500 financial intermediaries offered Alliance Capital’s cash management services. Alliance Capital’s money market fund market share (not including deposit products), as computed based on market data reported by the Investment Company Institute (December 2000), has increased from 1.75% of total money market fund industry assets at the end of 1995 to 2.04% at December 31, 2000.

Alliance Capital makes payments to financial intermediaries for distribution assistance and shareholder servicing and administration. Alliance Capital’s money market funds pay fees to Alliance Capital at annual rates of up to 0.25% of average daily net assets pursuant to “Rule 12b-1” distribution plans except for Alliance Money Market Fund which pays a fee of up to 0.45% of its average daily net assets. Such payments are supplemented by Alliance Capital in making payments to financial intermediaries under the distribution assistance and shareholder servicing and administration program. During 2000 such supplemental payments totaled approximately $77.4 million ($66.6 million in 1999). There are 7 employees of Alliance Capital who devote their time exclusively to marketing Alliance Capital’s cash management services.

A principal risk to Alliance Capital’s cash management services business is the acquisition of its participating financial intermediaries by companies that are competitors or that plan to enter the cash management services business. As of December 31, 2000 the five largest participating financial intermediaries were responsible for assets aggregating approximately $29.0 billion, or 76.5% of the cash management services total.

Many of the financial intermediaries whose customers utilize Alliance Capital’s cash management services are broker-dealers whose customer accounts are carried, and whose securities transactions are cleared and settled, by the Pershing Division (“Pershing”) of Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation (“DLJ Securities Corporation”), a subsidiary of AXA Financial until November 3, 2000. Pursuant to an agreement between Pershing and Alliance Capital, Pershing recommends that certain of its correspondent firms use Alliance Capital’s money market funds and other cash management products. As of December 31, 2000 DLJ Securities Corporation and these Pershing correspondents were responsible for approximately $23.0 billion or 60.8% of Alliance Capital’s total cash management assets. Pershing may terminate its agreement with Alliance Capital on 180 days’ notice. If the agreement were terminated, Pershing would be under no obligation to recommend or in any way assist in the sale of Alliance Capital’s cash management products and would be free to recommend or assist in the sale of competitive products.

Alliance Capital’s money market funds are investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act and are managed under the supervision of boards of directors or trustees, which include disinterested directors or trustees who must approve investment management agreements and certain other matters. The investment management agreements between the money market funds and Alliance Capital provide for an expense limitation of 1% per annum or less of average daily net assets. See “Mutual Funds Management - Investment Management Agreements and Fees”.

Shareholder and Administration Services

Alliance Global Investor Services, Inc. (“AGIS”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alliance Capital, provides registrar, dividend disbursing and transfer agency related services for each U.S. Fund and provides servicing for each U.S. Fund’s shareholder accounts. As of December 31, 2000 AGIS employed 654 people. AGIS operates out of offices in Secaucus, New Jersey, San Antonio, Texas, and Scranton, Pennsylvania. Under each servicing agreement AGIS receives a monthly fee. Each servicing agreement must be approved annually by the relevant U.S. Fund’s board of directors or trustees, including a majority of the disinterested directors or trustees, and may be terminated by either party without penalty upon 60 days’ notice.

Most U.S. Funds utilize Alliance Capital and AGIS personnel to perform legal, clerical and accounting services not required to be provided by Alliance Capital. Payments by a U.S. Fund for these services must be specifically approved in advance by the U.S. Fund’s board of directors or trustees. Currently, Alliance Capital and AGIS are accruing revenues for providing clerical and accounting services to the U.S. Funds and these closed-end funds at the rate of approximately $11.6 million per year.

ACM Global Investor Services S.A. (“ACMGIS”) a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alliance Capital, is the registrar and transfer agent of substantially all of the Offshore Funds. As of December 31, 2000 ACMGIS employed 41 people. ACMGIS operates out of offices in Luxembourg and receives a monthly fee for its registrar and transfer agency services. Each agreement between ACMGIS and an Offshore Fund may be terminated by either party upon 60 days’ notice.

Alliance Capital expects to continue to devote substantial resources to shareholder servicing because of its importance in competing for assets invested in mutual funds and cash management services.

INSTITUTIONAL RESEARCH SERVICES

Institutional Research Services consist of in-depth research, portfolio strategy, trading and brokerage related services provided to institutional investors such as pension managers, mutual fund managers and other institutional investors who manage assets and look to Sanford C. Bernstein & Co., LLC (“SCB LLC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Alliance Capital, to provide services to support their asset management activities. As of December 31, 2000 SCB LLC served over 770 clients in the U.S. and over 180 in Europe, Australia and the Far East.

SCB LLC earns revenues from institutional services by providing investment research and by executing brokerage transactions for research clients on an agency basis. In the case of research, research clients provide compensation principally by directing brokerage transactions to SCB LLC in return for SCB LLC research products. These services accounted for 2.2% of Alliance Capital’s revenues in 2000. SCB LLC is occasionally invited to and chooses to participate in underwriting syndicates for equity issuances.

The following table sets forth institutional services revenues for each of the periods presented:

COMPETITION

The financial services industry is highly competitive and new entrants are continually attracted to it. No one or small number of competitors is dominant in the industry. Alliance Capital is subject to substantial competition in all aspects of its business. Pension fund, institutional and corporate assets are managed by investment management firms, broker-dealers, banks and insurance companies. Many of these financial institutions have substantially greater resources than Alliance Capital. Alliance Capital competes with other providers of institutional investment products and services primarily on the basis of the range of investment products offered, the investment performance of such products and the services provided to clients. Based on an annual survey conducted by Pensions & Investments, as of December 31, 1999 Alliance Capital and Bernstein were ranked 11th and 38th out of 732 managers based on U.S. tax-exempt assets under management. Based on that survey, Alliance Capital ranked lst in active domestic large cap growth equity managers and Bernstein was ranked lst in active domestic large cap value equity managers. Additionally, Alliance Capital was ranked 5th out of the 21 largest managers of international index assets, 7th out of the 25 largest managers of domestic equity index funds and 14th out of the 25 largest domestic bond index managers.

Many of the firms competing with Alliance Capital for institutional clients also offer mutual fund shares and cash management services to individual investors. Competitiveness in this area is chiefly a function of the range of mutual funds and cash management services offered, investment performance, quality in servicing customer accounts and the capacity to provide financial incentives to financial intermediaries through distribution assistance and administrative services payments funded by “Rule 12b-1” distribution plans and the investment adviser’s own resources.

CUSTODY AND BROKERAGE

Neither Alliance Capital nor its subsidiaries, other than SCB LLC, maintains custody of client funds or securities, which is maintained by client-designated banks, trust companies, brokerage firms or other custodians. SCB LLC maintains custody of private client assets and securities. Custody of the assets of Alliance Mutual Funds, EQ Advisors Trust and money market funds is maintained by custodian banks and central securities depositories.

Alliance Capital generally has the discretion to select the brokers or dealers to be utilized to execute transactions for client accounts. SCB LLC effects transactions for client accounts only if specifically authorized or directed by the client.

REGULATION

Alliance Capital, Alliance Holding, and Alliance are investment advisers registered under the Investment Advisers Act. Each U.S. Fund is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Company Act and the shares of most U.S. Funds are qualified for sale in all states in the United States and the District of Columbia, except for U.S. Funds offered only to residents of a particular state. AGIS is registered with the SEC as a transfer agent. SCB LLC and AFD are registered with the SEC as broker–dealers. SCB LLC is a member of the NYSE. SCB LLC and AFD are subject to minimum net capital requirements ($8.4 million and $14.4 million, respectively, at December 31, 2000) imposed by the SEC on registered broker–dealers and had aggregate regulatory net capital of $164.9 million and $45.6 million, respectively, at December 31, 2000.

The relationships of AXA and its subsidiaries, including Equitable and its insurance company subsidiary, with Alliance Capital are subject to applicable provisions of the New York Insurance Law and regulations. Certain of the investment advisory agreements and ancillary administrative service agreements are subject to either approval or disapproval by the New York Superintendent of Insurance within a prescribed notice period. Under the New York Insurance Law and regulations, the terms of these agreements are to be fair and equitable, charges or fees for services performed are to be reasonable, and certain other standards must be met. Fees must be determined either with reference to fees charged to other clients for similar services or, in certain cases, which include the ancillary service agreements, based on cost reimbursement.

Alliance Capital’s assets under management and revenues derived from the general accounts of Equitable and its insurance company subsidiary are directly affected by the investment policies for the general accounts. Among the numerous factors influencing general account investment policies are regulatory factors, such as (i) laws and regulations that require diversification of the investment portfolios and limit the amount of investments in certain investment categories such as below investment grade fixed maturities, equity real estate and equity interests, (ii) statutory investment valuation reserves, and (iii) risk-based capital guidelines for life insurance companies approved by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. These policies have resulted in the shifting of general account assets managed by Alliance Capital into categories with lower management fees.

All aspects of Alliance Capital’s business are subject to various federal and state laws and regulations and to the laws in the foreign countries in which Alliance Capital’s subsidiaries conduct business. These laws and regulations are primarily intended to benefit clients and Alliance Mutual Fund shareholders and generally grant supervisory agencies broad administrative powers, including the power to limit or restrict the carrying on of business for failure to comply with such laws and regulations. In such event, the possible sanctions which may be imposed include the suspension of individual employees, limitations on engaging in business for specific periods, the revocation of the registration as an investment adviser, censures and fines.

EMPLOYEES

As of December 31, 2000 Alliance Capital and its subsidiaries employed 4,438 employees, including 605 investment professionals, of whom 221 are portfolio managers, 292 are research analysts and 81 are order placement specialists. The average period of employment of these professionals with Alliance Capital is approximately 7 years and their average investment experience is approximately 13 years. Alliance Capital considers its employee relations to be good.

SERVICE MARKS

Alliance Capital has registered a number of service marks with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, including an “A” design logo and the combination of such logo and the words “Alliance” and “Alliance Capital”. Each of these service marks was registered in 1986. As a result of the Bernstein Acquisition, Alliance Capital acquired all of the rights and title in and to the Bernstein service marks, including a “Bee” design logo, the name Bernstein and a combination of such logo and the word Bernstein. These marks were registered in 1982, 1981 and 1981, respectively.

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

Market for the Alliance Capital Units and the Alliance Holding Units

There is no established public trading market for the Alliance Capital Units. The Alliance Capital Units are subject to significant restrictions on transfer. In general, transfers of Alliance Capital Units will be allowed only with the written consent of both Equitable and the General Partner. Either Equitable or, where applicable, the General Partner may withhold its consent to a transfer in its sole discretion, for any reason. Generally, neither Equitable nor the General Partner will permit any transfer that it believes would create a risk that Alliance Capital would be treated as a corporation for tax purposes.

On March 1, 2001 there were approximately 675 Alliance Capital Unitholders of record.

The Alliance Holding Units are traded on the NYSE. The high and low sale prices on the NYSE during each quarter of Alliance Holding’s two most recent fiscal years were as follows:

2000	High	Low

First Quarter	43-7/8	29-5/16
Second Quarter	50-3/8	38-3/8

Cash Distributions

Each of Alliance Capital and Alliance Holding distributes on a quarterly basis all of its Available Cash Flow (as defined in each Partnership Agreement). Prior to the Reorganization, Alliance Holding’s Available Cash Flow was derived from the operations now conducted by Alliance Capital. Subsequent to the completion of the Reorganization in the fourth quarter of 1999, when Alliance Capital commenced operations, Alliance Holding’s principal sources of income and cash flow are attributable to its ownership of Alliance Capital Units.

On February 14, 2000 Alliance Capital paid a distribution of Available Cash Flow in respect of the fourth quarter of 1999 and a Special Distribution in the aggregate amount of $0.91 per Alliance Capital Unit.

Alliance Capital made the following distributions of Available Cash Flow in respect of 2000:

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

REORGANIZATION AND BERNSTEIN ACQUISITION

Effective October 29, 1999, Alliance Holding reorganized by transferring its business to Alliance Capital in exchange for all of the Alliance Capital Units. As part of the Reorganization, Alliance Holding offered each Alliance Holding Unitholder the opportunity to exchange Alliance Holding Units for Alliance Capital Units on a one-for-one basis. The Operating Partnership recorded the transferred assets and assumption of liabilities at the amounts reflected in Alliance Holding’s books and records on the date of transfer. Since the Reorganization, the Operating Partnership has conducted the diversified investment management services business formerly conducted by Alliance Holding, and Alliance Holding’s business has consisted of holding Alliance Capital Units and engaging in related activities. Alliance, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AXA Financial, is the general partner of both Alliance Holding and the Operating Partnership. AXA Financial is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AXA, a French company, that is a holding company for an international group of insurance and related financial services companies. Alliance Capital is a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Alliance Holding Units are publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange while Alliance Capital Units do not trade publicly and are subject to significant restrictions on transfer.

On October 2, 2000, the Operating Partnership acquired the business and assets of SCB Inc., an investment research and management company formerly known as Bernstein, and assumed the liabilities of Bernstein. The purchase price consisted of a cash payment of $1.4754 billion and 40.8 million newly issued Alliance Capital Units. Alliance Financial purchased approximately 32.6 million newly issued Alliance Capital Units for $1.6 billion on June 21, 2000 to fund the cash portion of the purchase price.

At December 31, 2000, Alliance Holding owned approximately 73.2 million, or 30%, of the issued and outstanding Alliance Capital Units. Aliance owns 100,000 general partnership Units in Alliance Holding and a 1% general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. At December 31, 2000, AXA Financial was the beneficial owner of approximately 2% of the outstanding Alliance Holding Units and approximately 53% of the outstanding Alliance Capital Units which, including the general partnership interests in the Operating Partnership and Alliance Holding, represents an economic interest of approximately 53% in the Operating Partnership. At December 31, 2000, SCB Partners Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of SCB Inc., was the beneficial owner of approximately 17% of the outstanding Alliance Capital Units.

THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP

The Operating Partnership provides diversified investment management and related services globally to a broad range of clients including (a) institutional investors, consisting of unaffiliated entities such as corporate and public employee pension funds, endowment funds, domestic and foreign institutions and governments and affiliates such as AXA and its insurance company subsidiaries, by means of separate accounts, sub-advisory relationships resulting from the efforts of the institutional marketing department, structured products, group trusts and mutual funds and classes of mutual fund shares sold exclusively to institutional investors and high net worth individuals, (b) private clients, consisting of high net worth individuals, trusts and estates, charitable foundations, partnerships, private and family corporations and other entities, by means of separate accounts, hedge funds and certain other vehicles, (c) individual investors by means of publicly distributed mutual funds sponsored by the Operating Partnership, its subsidiaries and affiliated joint venture companies including cash management products such as money market funds and deposit accounts and sub-advisory relationships in respect of mutual funds sponsored by third parties resulting from the efforts of the mutual fund marketing department (“Alliance Mutual Funds”) and “wrap” products, and (d) institutional investors by means of in-depth research, portfolio strategy, trading and brokerage-related services. The Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries provide investment management, distribution and shareholder and administrative services to the Alliance Mutual Funds.

All services currently provided by the Operating Partnership were provided by Alliance Holding prior to the Reorganization.

The Operating Partnership’s revenues are largely dependent on the total value and composition of assets under its management. Assets under management grew 23.2% to $453.7 billion as of December 31, 2000 primarily as a result of the Bernstein Acquisition, which added $85.8 billion at October 2, 2000, and continuing net sales of Alliance Mutual Funds, offset by market depreciation. Active equity and balanced account assets under management, which comprise approximately 63.5% of total assets under management, grew 31.3%. Active fixed income account assets under management, which comprise 28.7% of total assets under management, increased by 14.7%.

In 2000, sales of Alliance Mutual Fund shares grew to $58.1 billion compared to sales of $47.6 billion in 1999. The increase, principally equity funds sold to both U.S. and non-U.S. investors, reduced by an increase in mutual fund redemptions, resulted in net Alliance Mutual Fund sales of $23.0 billion, a decrease of 16.1% from $27.4 billion in 1999.

(1)

Excludes certain non-discretionary relationships. Includes 100% of assets under management by unconsolidated affiliates as follows: $2.7 billion retail assets and $1.1 billion institutional investment management assets at December 31, 2000 and $2.2 billion retail assets and $0.6 billion institutional investment management assets at December 31, 1999. The 1999 presentation has been reclassified to conform to the 2000 presentation.

Assets under management at December 31, 2000 were $453.7 billion, an increase of $85.4 billion or 23.2% from December 31, 1999. Retail assets under management at December 31, 2000 were $163.3 billion, an increase of $8.1 billion or 5.2% from December 31, 1999. This increase was due principally to net sales of $23.1 billion and net cash management sales of $2.9 billion, offset by market depreciation of $17.3 billion and net negative cash flows of $0.6 billion. Institutional investment management assets under management at December 31, 2000 were $253.6 billion, an increase of $46.0 billion or 22.2% from December 31, 1999. This increase was due to the Bernstein Acquisition which added $55.0 billion, net sales and new accounts of $7.3 billion and net institutional cash management sales of $2.9 billion, offset by net negative cash flows of $6.0 billion and market depreciation of $13.2 billion. Private client assets under management at December 31, 2000 were $36.8 billion, an increase of $31.3 billion from December 31, 1999. This increase was due principally to the Bernstein Acquisition which added $30.8 billion and market appreciation of $1.4 billion, offset by net redemptions and account terminations of $0.4 billion and net negative cash flows of $0.5 billion.

Assets under management at December 31, 1999 were $368.3 billion, an increase of $81.6 billion or 28.5% from December 31, 1998. Retail assets under management at December 31, 1999 were $155.2 billion, an increase of $46.8 billion or 43.2% from December 31, 1998. This increase was due principally to net sales of $23.6 billion, net cash management sales of $4.1 billion and market appreciation of $21.9 billion, offset by net negative cash flows of $2.8 billion. Institutional money management assets under management at December 31, 1999 were $207.6 billion, an increase of $33.6 billion or 19.3% from December 31, 1998. This increase was due to market appreciation of $29.9 billion, net sales and new accounts of $6.4 billion and net institutional cash management sales of $1.6 billion, offset by net negative cash flows of $4.3 billion. Private client assets under management at December 31, 1999 were $5.5 billion, an increase of $1.2 billion from December 31, 1998. This increase was due principally to net sales and new accounts of $0.7 billion and market appreciation of $0.5 billion.

Cursitor Alliance LLC (“Cursitor Alliance”), a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership formed in connection with a 1996 acquisition, provides global asset allocation services to U.S. and non-U.S. institutional investors. Due to poor relative investment performance, Cursitor Alliance continues to experience client account terminations and asset withdrawals. Cursitor Alliance’s assets under management aggregated $0.8 billion, $1.3 billion and $1.7 billion at December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. Cursitor Holdings, L.P. (“CHLP”) exercised its option to require the Operating Partnership to purchase its minority interest in Cursitor Alliance for $10.0 million. See “Capital Resources and Liquidity”. During the fourth quarter of 2000, management of the Operating Partnership determined that the remaining value of the intangible assets recorded in connection with this acquisition was impaired and wrote-off the remaining balance, resulting in a charge of $16.6 million.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION – FINANCIAL RESULTS

The following is a discussion of the results of operations for 2000 for the Operating Partnership compared to the 1999 combined results of operations of the Operating Partnership and, prior to the Reorganization, Alliance Holding, and of 1999 compared to 1998. The combined presentation is considered meaningful in understanding the diversified investment management business operated by Alliance Holding prior to the Reorganization and by the Operating Partnership thereafter. All information prior to the Reorganization is that of Alliance Holding.

Net income for 2000 increased $207.1 million or 44.9% to $668.7 million from net income of $461.6 million for 1999. Diluted net income per Unit for 2000 increased $0.61 or 23.6% to $3.20 from diluted net income per Unit of $2.59 for 1999. The increase was principally due to an increase in investment advisory and services fees, resulting from higher average assets under management, due principally to the Bernstein Acquisition, which was offset partially by higher operating expenses, principally employee compensation and benefits, promotion and servicing, and general and administrative expenses.

Net income for 1999 increased $168.7 million or 57.6% to $461.6 million from net income of $292.9 million for 1998. Diluted net income per Unit for 1999 increased $0.93 or 56.0% to $2.59 from diluted net income per Unit of $1.66 for 1998. The increase was principally due to an increase in investment advisory and services fees, resulting from higher average assets under management and higher performance fees, which was offset partially by higher operating expenses, principally employee compensation and benefits and promotion and servicing expenses.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SERVICES FEES

Investment advisory and services fees, the largest component of the Operating Partnership’s revenues, are generally calculated as a small percentage of the value of assets under management and vary with the type of account managed. Fee income is therefore affected by changes in the amount of assets under management, including market appreciation or depreciation, the addition of new client accounts or client contributions of additional assets to existing accounts, withdrawals of assets from and termination of client accounts, purchases and redemptions of mutual fund shares, and shifts of assets between accounts or products with different fee structures. The Operating Partnership’s investment advisory and services fees increased 26.9% and 39.7% in 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Certain investment advisory contracts provide for a performance fee, in addition to or in lieu of a base fee, that is calculated either as a percentage of absolute investment results or a percentage of investment results in excess of a stated benchmark over a specified period of time. Performance fees are recorded as revenue at the end of the measurement period and will generally be higher in favorable markets and lower in unfavorable markets, which may increase the volatility of the Operating Partnership’s revenues and earnings. Performance fees aggregated $72.5 million, $162.2 million, and $52.9 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Lower performance fees in 2000 were primarily the result of a decline in absolute returns in certain hedge funds investing in growth and technology stocks. Higher performance fees in 1999 were primarily the result of strong capital markets which provided significant absolute and relative investment returns, new client accounts with performance fee arrangements and a refinement of the procedures for estimating such fees.

Retail investment advisory and services fees increased by $210.9 million or 26.7% for 2000, primarily as a result of a 33.3% increase in average assets under management, offset by a $43.3 million decrease in performance fees. Retail investment advisory and services fees increased by $249.0 million or 46.1% for 1999, primarily as a result of a 35.0% increase in average assets under management and higher performance fees of $37.2 million.

Institutional investment management investment advisory and services fees increased by $119.5 million or 28.6% for 2000, due primarily to a 19.9% increase in average assets under management and an increase in performance fees of $50.8 million, primarily from the Bernstein Acquisition. Institutional investment management investment advisory and services fees increased by $47.1 million or 12.7% for 1999, due primarily to a 19.3% increase in average assets under management, offset by lower performance fees of $2.9 million.

Private client investment advisory and services fees increased by $27.8 million or 22.1% for 2000, primarily as a result of a 139.6% increase in average assets under management, primarily from the Bernstein Acquisition, offset by a $97.2 million decrease in performance fees. Private client investment advisory and services fees increased by $82.6 million or 192.1% for 1999, primarily as a result of a 54.8% increase in average assets under management and higher performance fees of $75.0 million.

INSTITUTIONAL RESEARCH SERVICES

Institutional research services revenue consists of brokerage transaction charges and underwriting syndicate revenues related to services provided to institutional investors by Sanford C. Bernstein & Co., LLC (“SCB & Co.”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership. Brokerage transaction charges earned and related expenses are recorded on a trade date basis. Syndicate participation and underwriting revenues include gains, losses and fees, net of syndicate expenses, arising from securities offerings in which SCB & Co. acts as an underwriter or agent. Syndicate participation and underwriting revenues are recorded on the offering date. Revenues from institutional research services were $56.3 million for fourth quarter 2000.

DISTRIBUTION REVENUES

The Operating Partnership’s subsidiary, Alliance Fund Distributors, Inc. (“AFD”), acts as distributor of the Alliance Mutual Funds and receives distribution plan fees from those funds in reimbursement of distribution expenses it incurs. Distribution revenues increased 40.7% and 46.3% in 2000 and 1999, respectively, principally due to higher average mutual fund assets under management attributable to sales of Back-End Load Shares under the Operating Partnership’s mutual fund distribution system (the “System”), described under “Capital Resources and Liquidity”.

SHAREHOLDER SERVICING FEES

The Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries, Alliance Global Investor Services, Inc. and ACM Global Investor Services S.A., provide transfer agency services to the Alliance Mutual Funds. Shareholder servicing fees increased 37.4% and 43.2% in 2000 and 1999, respectively, the result of increases in the number of mutual fund shareholder accounts serviced. The number of shareholder accounts serviced increased to approximately 6.5 million as of December 31, 2000, compared to approximately 5.4 million and 3.8 million as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

OTHER REVENUES, NET

Other revenues, net consist principally of administration and recordkeeping services provided to the Alliance Mutual Funds and the General Accounts of Equitable, a wholly owned subsidiary of AXA Financial, and its insurance company subsidiary. Investment income and changes in value of other investments are also included. Subsequent to the Bernstein Acquisition, other revenues, net also includes net interest income earned on securities loaned to and borrowed from brokers and dealers. Other revenues, net increased for 2000 primarily as a result of higher interest income, including $29.8 million in interest earned on the proceeds from AXA Financial’s purchase of 32,619,775 newly issued Operating Partnership Units on June 21, 2000. Other revenues, net increased for 1999 principally as a result of higher reimbursements for administration and recordkeeping services, increases in the market value of investments in hedge funds sponsored by the Operating Partnership and higher dividend income.

⁽¹⁾	Reflect expenses of the business of Bernstein from the date of the October 2, 2000 acquisition, expenses of Alliance Holding prior to the Reorganization and expenses of the Operating Partnership thereafter.

EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS

In connection with the Reorganization, all employees of Alliance Holding became employees of the Operating Partnership effective October 29, 1999. In connection with the Bernstein Acquisition, all employees of Bernstein subsidiaries became employees of the Operating Partnership effective October 2, 2000. Employee compensation and benefits, which represent approximately 36.0% of total expenses in 2000, include salaries, commissions, fringe benefits and incentive compensation based on profitability. Provisions for future payments to be made under certain deferred compensation arrangements are also included in employee compensation and benefits expense.

Employee compensation and benefits increased 28.2% and 49.2% in 2000 and 1999, respectively, primarily as a result of higher incentive compensation due to increased operating earnings and increased base compensation and commissions. Incentive compensation increased in 2000 due to higher operating earnings and costs associated with a new deferred compensation plan adopted in connection with the Bernstein Acquisition, offset in part by lower incentive compensation resulting from lower performance fees. Incentive compensation increased in 1999 due to higher operating earnings and incentive compensation from higher performance fees. Base compensation increased principally due to an increase in the number of employees due to the Bernstein Acquisition and in support of Alliance’s growing mutual fund operations combined with salary increases. The Operating Partnership had 4,438 employees at December 31, 2000 compared to 2,396 in 1999 and 2,075 employees of Alliance Holding at December 31, 1998. Commissions increased primarily due to the Bernstein Acquisition.

PROMOTION AND SERVICING

Promotion and servicing expenses, which represent approximately 46.6% of total expenses in 2000, include distribution plan payments to financial intermediaries for distribution of sponsored mutual funds and cash management services’ products and amortization of deferred sales commissions paid to financial intermediaries for the sale of Back-End Load Shares under the System. See “Capital Resources and Liquidity”. Also included in this expense category are travel and entertainment, advertising, promotional materials, and investment meetings and seminars for financial intermediaries that distribute the Operating Partnership’s mutual fund products.

Promotion and servicing expenses increased 36.1% and 34.8% in 2000 and 1999, respectively, primarily due to increased distribution plan payments resulting from higher average domestic, offshore and cash management assets under management. An increase in amortization of deferred sales commissions of $55.7 million for 2000 as a result of sales of Back-End Load Shares also contributed to the increase in promotion and servicing expense. Other promotion and servicing expenses increased for 2000 and 1999 primarily as a result of higher travel and entertainment costs and higher promotional expenditures incurred in connection with mutual fund sales initiatives.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

General and administrative expenses, which represent approximately 12.5% of total expenses in 2000, are costs related to operations, including technology, professional fees, occupancy, communications, equipment and similar expenses. General and administrative expenses increased 22.7% and 13.9% in 2000 and 1999, respectively, due principally to increased occupancy and other costs related to the Bernstein Acquisition and higher technology expenses incurred in connection with the Year 2000 project and other technology initiatives such as the Euro conversion. A $10.0 million provision was recorded in 1998 for the acquisition of the minority interest in Cursitor Alliance held by CHLP. CHLP exercised its option to require the Operating Partnership to purchase its minority interest in Cursitor Alliance for $10.0 million. See “Capital Resources and Liquidity”.

INTEREST

Interest expense is incurred on the Operating Partnership’s borrowings and on deferred compensation owed to employees. Interest expense increased for 2000 and 1999 primarily as a result of higher debt and an increase in interest accrued on deferred compensation liabilities.

AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Amortization of intangible assets is attributable to the intangible assets recorded in connection with the acquisitions made by the Operating Partnership, including the Bernstein Acquisition on October 2, 2000, and the acquisition of ACMC, Inc., the predecessor of both Alliance Holding and the Operating Partnership, by ELAS during 1985. Amortization of intangibles increased for 2000 principally due to the Bernstein Acquisition.

TAXES ON INCOME

The Operating Partnership, a private limited partnership, is not subject to federal or state corporate income taxes. However, the Operating Partnership is subject to the New York City unincorporated business tax. Domestic corporate subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership are subject to federal, state and local income taxes, and are generally included in the filing of a consolidated federal income tax return; separate state and local income tax returns are filed. Foreign corporate subsidiaries are generally subject to taxes in the foreign jurisdictions where they are located.

Income tax expense of $40.6 million in 2000 decreased by $26.6 million from 1999 primarily as a result of a lower effective tax rate due to the Reorganization. Income tax expense of $67.2 million in 1999 increased by $11.4 million primarily as a result of higher pre-tax income partially offset by a lower combined effective tax rate.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Partners’ capital of the Operating Partnership was $4,133.7 million at December 31, 2000, an increase of $3,581.0 million or 647.9% from partners’ capital at December 31, 1999. On October 2, 2000, the Operating Partnership completed the Bernstein Acquisition for $1,475.4 million in cash and 40.8 million newly issued Operating Partnership Units. On June 21, 2000, AXA Financial purchased from the Operating Partnership 32,619,775 newly issued Operating Partnership Units for $1.6 billion and the Operating Partnership used the proceeds primarily to finance the cash portion of the Bernstein Acquisition. The Operating Partnership’s partners’ capital at December 31, 1999 increased by $122.4 million or 28.4% from Alliance Holding’s partner’s capital of $430.3 million at December 31, 1998.

Cash flow from operations, proceeds from borrowings and proceeds from the issuance of Operating Partnership Units to AXA Financial and its subsidiaries have been the Operating Partnership’s and, prior to the Reorganization, Alliance Holding’s principal sources of working capital.

The Operating Partnership’s cash and cash equivalents increased by $136.1 million in 2000. Cash inflows included $682.4 million from operations, the sale of Operating Partnership Units to AXA Financial for $1,600.0 million, net borrowings of $368.4 million and $19.7 million of proceeds from employee options exercised for Alliance Holding Units. Cash outflows included $1,475.4 million for the Bernstein Acquisition, $633.2 million in distributions to its General Partner and Unitholders, net purchases of cash and securities for $620.7 million, the purchase of Alliance Holding Units by subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership for deferred compensation plans of $146.6 million, net purchases of investments of $203.7 million and $75.8 million in capital expenditures.

In connection with a 1996 acquisition, Alliance Holding obtained an option to purchase the minority interest held by CHLP in Cursitor Alliance, and CHLP obtained an option to sell its minority interest to Alliance Holding for cash, Alliance Holding Units, or a combination thereof with a value of not less than $10.0 million or more than $37.0 million (“Buyout Price”). The Operating Partnership assumed all of Alliance Holding’s rights and obligations with respect to CHLP in connection with the Reorganization. CHLP exercised its option to require the Operating Partnership to purchase its minority interest in Cursitor Alliance for a Buyout Price of $10.0 million.

The Operating Partnership's mutual fund distribution system includes a multi-class share structure. The System permits the Operating Partnership’s open-end mutual funds to offer investors various options for the purchase of mutual fund shares, including the purchase of Front-End Load Shares and Back-End Load Shares. The Front-End Load Shares are subject to a conventional front-end sales charge paid by investors to AFD at the time of sale. AFD in turn compensates the financial intermediaries distributing the funds from the front-end sales charge paid by investors. For Back-End Load Shares, investors do not pay a front-end sales charge although, if there are redemptions before the expiration of the minimum holding period (which ranges from one year to four years), investors pay a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) to AFD. While AFD is obligated to compensate the financial intermediaries at the time of the purchase of Back-End Load Shares, it receives higher ongoing distribution fees from the funds. Payments made to financial intermediaries in connection with the sale of Back-End Load Shares under the System, net of CDSC received, reduced cash flow from operations by approximately $330.6 million and $393.4 million during 2000 and 1999, respectively. Management believes AFD will recover the payments made to financial intermediaries for the sale of Back-End Load Shares from the higher distribution fees and CDSC it receives over periods not exceeding 5 1/2 years.

During 1998, Alliance Holding increased its commercial paper program to $425 million and entered into a $425 million five-year revolving credit facility with a group of commercial banks. Under the credit facility, the interest rate, at the option of the borrower, is a floating rate generally based upon a defined prime rate, a rate related to the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or the Federal Funds rate. A facility fee is payable on the total facility. Borrowings under the credit facility and the commercial paper program may not exceed $425 million in the aggregate. In connection with the Reorganization, the Operating Partnership assumed Alliance Holding’s rights and obligations under the five-year revolving credit facility and the commercial paper program. The revolving credit facility will be used to provide back-up liquidity for the Operating Partnership's commercial paper program, to fund commission payments to financial intermediaries for the sale of Back-End Load Shares under the Operating Partnership's mutual fund distribution system, and for general working capital purposes.

During July 1999, Alliance Holding entered into a $200 million three-year revolving credit facility with a group of commercial banks. In connection with the Reorganization, the Operating Partnership assumed Alliance Holding’s rights and obligations under the three-year revolving credit facility. The new revolving credit facility, the terms of which are generally similar to the $425 million credit facility, will be used to fund commission payments to financial intermediaries for the sale of Back-End Load Shares under the Operating Partnership’s mutual fund distribution system and for general working capital purposes.

During October 2000, the Operating Partnership entered into a $250 million two-year revolving credit facility the terms of which are substantially similar to the $425 million and $200 million revolving credit facilities.

The revolving credit facilities contain covenants which, among other things, require the Operating Partnership to meet certain financial ratios. The Operating Partnership was in compliance with the covenants at December 31, 2000.

In December 1999, the Operating Partnership established a $100 million Extendible Commercial Notes (“ECN”) program as a supplement to its $425 million commercial paper program. ECNs are short-term uncommitted debt instruments that do not require back-up liquidity support.

At December 31, 2000 and 1999, the Operating Partnership had $396.9 million and $384.7 million of commercial paper outstanding, respectively, at effective interest rates of 6.7% and 5.9%, respectively. At December 31, 2000, the Operating Partnership had $98.2 million outstanding under the ECN program, at an effective interest rate of 6.8%. At December 31, 2000, the Operating Partnership had $284 million outstanding under its revolving credit facilities, at an effective interest rate of 7.0%. There were no amounts outstanding under the ECN program and the credit facilities at December 31, 1999.

Debt also includes a loan note issued in connection with the Whittingdale acquisition in the aggregate principal amount of $3.1 million at December 31, 2000. The note bears interest at 5.4% per annum at December 31, 2000.

The Operating Partnership’s substantial equity base and access to public and private debt, at competitive terms, should provide adequate liquidity for its general business needs. Management believes that cash flow from operations and the issuance of debt and Alliance Capital or Alliance Holding Units will provide the Operating Partnership with the financial resources to meet its capital requirements for mutual fund sales and its other working capital requirements.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Operating Partnership’s capital commitments, which consist primarily of operating leases for office space, are generally funded from future operating cash flows.

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

The accounting policies summarized below are followed by the Operating Partnership subsequent to the October 29, 1999 Reorganization and were followed by Alliance Holding prior to the Reorganization.

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (“SFAS 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. Management adopted this Statement on January 1, 2001, and the adoption did not have a material effect on the Operating Partnership’s results of operations, liquidity, or capital resources.

In December 1999, the SEC issued SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (“SAB 101”). Management adopted SAB 101 in fourth quarter 2000 and its adoption did not have a material effect on the Operating Partnership’s financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources.

CASH DISTRIBUTIONS

The Operating Partnership is required to distribute all of its Available Cash Flow (as defined in the Alliance Capital Partnership Agreement) to the General Partner and Alliance Capital Unitholders. Alliance Holding is also required to distribute all of its Available Cash Flow (as defined in the Alliance Holding Partnership Agreement). The Available Cash Flow of the Operating Partnership for 2000, the combined Available Cash Flow of the Operating Partnership for the two months ended December 31, 1999 and Alliance Holding for the ten months ended October 29, 1999, and the Available Cash Flow of Alliance Holding for the year ended December 31, 1998 were as follows:

CASH DISTRIBUTIONS

ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

MARKET RISK, RISK MANAGEMENT AND DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Operating Partnership’s investments consist of investments, available-for-sale, and other investments. Investments, available-for-sale, include equity and fixed income mutual funds and money market investments. The carrying value of the money market investments approximates fair value. Although investments, available-for-sale, are purchased for long-term investment, the portfolio strategy considers them available-for-sale from time to time due to changes in market interest rates, equity prices and other relevant factors. Other investments include investments in hedge funds sponsored by the Operating Partnership.

NON TRADING MARKET RISK SENSITIVE INSTRUMENTS

INVESTMENTS WITH INTEREST RATE RISK – FAIR VALUE

The table below provides the Operating Partnership’s potential exposure, measured in terms of fair value, to an immediate 100 basis point increase in interest rates from the levels prevailing at December 31, 2000. A 100 basis point fluctuation in interest rates is a hypothetical rate scenario used to calibrate potential risk and does not represent management’s view of future market changes. While these fair value measurements provide a representation of interest rate sensitivity of fixed income mutual funds and fixed income hedge funds, they are based on the portfolio exposures at a particular point in time and may not be representative of future market results. These exposures will change as a result of ongoing changes in investments in response to management’s assessment of changing market conditions and available investment opportunities (in thousands):

	At December 31, 2000	+100 Basis Point Change
Fixed income investments	$6,954	$(321)

INVESTMENTS WITH EQUITY PRICE RISK – FAIR VALUE

The Operating Partnership’s investments also include investments in equity mutual funds and equity hedge funds. The following table provides the Operating Partnership’s potential exposure from those investments, measured in terms of fair value, to an immediate 10% drop in equity prices from those prevailing at December 31, 2000. A 10% decrease in equity prices is a hypothetical scenario used to calibrate potential risk and does not represent management’s view of future market changes. While these fair value measurements provide a representation of equity price sensitivity of equity mutual funds and equity hedge funds, they are based on the portfolio exposures at a particular point in time and may not be representative of future market results. These exposures will change as a result of ongoing portfolio activities in response to management’s assessment of changing market conditions and available investment opportunities (in thousands):

	At December 31, 2000	-10% Equity Price Change
Equity investments	$49,140	$(4,914)

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS – FAIR VALUE

The Operating Partnership utilizes an interest rate cap to reduce its exposure to interest rate risk by effectively placing an interest rate ceiling or “cap” on interest payable on up to $100 million of the debt outstanding under the Operating Partnership’s commercial paper program and five-year revolving credit facility. The interest rate cap expires in December 2001. The $100 million notional principal amount does not represent the Operating Partnership’s exposure to credit risk, but is only a basis to determine the payment obligation of the counterparty. During the three-year term of the interest rate cap, the Operating Partnership will receive monthly payments from the counterparty based on the excess, if any, of the stated reference rate over 6% times the notional amount. Should the counterparty fail to perform its obligations under the agreement, the Operating Partnership’s borrowing costs on the first $100 million of debt outstanding could exceed 6%. However, at this time the Operating Partnership does not have any reason to believe that the counterparty would fail to perform. While the notional amount is the most commonly used measure of volume in the derivatives market, it is not used by the Operating Partnership as a measure of risk as the notional amount exceeds the possible loss that could arise from the interest rate cap. Mark to market exposure is a point-in-time measure of the value of a derivative contract on the open market. A positive value indicates existence of credit risk for the Operating Partnership as the counterparty would owe money to the Operating Partnership if the contract were closed. At year end 2000, the market value of the Operating Partnership’s derivative was $135,000 representing the time value and intrinsic value components of the fair value. The table below provides the interest rate sensitivity of the interest rate cap. These exposures will change as a result of ongoing portfolio and risk management activities (in thousands, except for term):

	Notional Amount	Term/ Years	- 100 Basis Point Change	Fair Value at December 31, 2000	+ 100 Basis Point Change
Interest rate cap	$100,000	3	$(125)	$135	$896

DEBT-FAIR VALUE

At year end 2000, the aggregate fair value of long-term debt issued by the Operating Partnership was $3.1 million. The table below provides the potential fair value exposure to an immediate 100 basis point decrease in interest rates from those prevailing at year end 2000 (in thousands):

	At December 31, 2000	-100 Basis Point Change
Long-term debt	$3,100	$143

ALLIANCE CAPITAL MANAGEMENT L.P.
AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998

1. Reorganization and Bernstein Acquisition

Effective October 29, 1999, Alliance Holding reorganized by transferring its business to Alliance Capital in exchange for all of the Alliance Capital Units. As part of the Reorganization, Alliance Holding offered each Alliance Holding Unitholder the opportunity to exchange Alliance Holding Units for Alliance Capital Units on a one-for-one basis. The Operating Partnership recorded the transferred assets and assumption of liabilities at the amounts reflected in Alliance Holding’s books and records on the date of transfer. Since the Reorganization, the Operating Partnership has conducted the diversified investment management services business formerly conducted by Alliance Holding, and Alliance Holding’s business has consisted of holding Alliance Capital Units and engaging in related activities. Alliance, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AXA Financial, is the general partner of both Alliance Holding and the Operating Partnership. AXA Financial is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AXA, a French company, that is a holding company for an international group of insurance and related financial services companies. Alliance Capital is a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Alliance Holding Units are publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange while Alliance Capital Units do not trade publicly and are subject to significant restrictions on transfer.

On October 2, 2000, the Operating Partnership acquired the business and assets of SCB Inc., an investment research and management company formerly known as Bernstein, and assumed the liabilities of Bernstein. The purchase price consisted of a cash payment of $1.4754 billion and 40.8 million newly issued Alliance Capital Units. AXA Financial purchased approximately 32.6 million newly issued Alliance Capital Units for $1.6 billion on June 21, 2000 to fund the cash portion of the purchase price.

At December 31, 2000, Alliance Holding owned approximately 73.2 million, or 30%, of the issued and outstanding Alliance Capital Units. Alliance owns 100,000 general partnership Units in Alliance Holding and a 1% general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. At December 31, 2000, AXA Financial was the beneficial owner of approximately 2% of the outstanding Alliance Holding Units and approximately 53% of the outstanding Alliance Capital Units which, including the general partnership interests in the Operating Partnership and Alliance Holding, represents an economic interest of approximately 53% in the Operating Partnership. At December 31, 2000, SCB Partners Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of SCB Inc., was the beneficial owner of approximately 17% of the outstanding Alliance Capital Units.

2. Business Description

The Operating Partnership provides diversified investment management and related services globally to a broad range of clients including (a) institutional investors, consisting of unaffiliated entities such as corporate and public employee pension funds, endowment funds, domestic and foreign institutions and governments and affiliates such as AXA and its insurance company subsidiaries, by means of separate accounts, sub-advisory relationships resulting from the efforts of the institutional marketing department, structured products, group trusts and mutual funds and classes of mutual fund shares sold exclusively to institutional investors and high net worth individuals, (b) private clients, consisting of high net worth individuals, trusts and estates, charitable foundations, partnerships, private and family corporations and other entities, by means of separate accounts, hedge funds and certain other vehicles, (c) individual investors by means of publicly distributed mutual funds sponsored by the Operating Partnership, its subsidiaries and affiliated joint venture companies including cash management products such as money market funds and deposit accounts and sub-advisory relationships in respect of mutual funds sponsored by third parties resulting from the efforts of the mutual fund marketing department (“Alliance Mutual Funds”) and “wrap” products, and (d) institutional investors by mean of in-depth research, portfolio strategy, trading and brokerage-related services. The Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries provide investment management, distribution and shareholder and administrative services to the Alliance Mutual Funds.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The Operating Partnership's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The consolidated financial statements’ dollar and per Unit amounts and disclosures reflect the operations of Alliance Holding prior to the Reorganization effective October 29, 1999 and Alliance Capital thereafter. The accounting policies summarized below are followed by the Operating Partnership subsequent to the Reorganization and were followed by Alliance Holding prior to the Reorganization. All information prior to the Reorganization is that of Alliance Holding.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the Operating Partnership and its majority-owned subsidiaries. The equity method of accounting is used for unconsolidated subsidiaries in which the Operating Partnership's ownership interests range from 20 to 50 percent and the Operating Partnership exercises significant influence over operating and financial policies. All significant intercompany transactions and balances among the consolidated entities have been eliminated.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits and highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, the recorded value approximates fair value.

Investments

Investments, principally investments in Alliance Mutual Funds, are classified as available-for-sale securities. These investments are stated at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income in partners’ capital. Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are included in income currently and are determined using the specific-identification method.

Furniture, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements

Furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of eight years for furniture and three to six years for equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or the terms of the related leases.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist principally of goodwill resulting from acquisitions and costs assigned to contracts of businesses acquired. Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives ranging from twenty to forty years. Costs assigned to investment contracts of businesses acquired are being amortized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of twenty years. Impairment of intangible assets is evaluated by comparing the undiscounted cash flows expected to be realized from those intangible assets to their recorded values. If the expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value of intangible assets, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value of those intangible assets.

Deferred Sales Commissions

Sales commissions paid to financial intermediaries in connection with the sale of shares of open-end Alliance Mutual Funds sold without a front-end sales charge are capitalized and amortized over periods not exceeding five and one-half years, the period of time during which deferred sales commissions are expected to be recovered from distribution plan payments received from those funds and from contingent deferred sales charges received from shareholders of those funds upon the redemption of their shares. Contingent deferred sales charges reduce unamortized deferred sales commissions when received.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative financial instruments are used to manage exposure to adverse movements in interest rates. Payments to be received as a result of interest rate cap agreements are recognized as adjustments to interest expense. Premiums paid are included in other assets and amortized to interest expense over the period for which the cap is effective.

Revenue Recognition

Investment advisory and services base fees are recorded as revenue as the related services are performed. Certain investment advisory contracts provide for a performance fee, in addition to or in lieu of a base fee, that is calculated as either a percentage of absolute investment results or a percentage of investment results in excess of a stated benchmark over a specified period of time. Performance fees are recorded as revenue at the end of the measurement period. Transaction charges earned and related expenses are recorded on a trade date basis. Distribution revenues and shareholder servicing fees are accrued as earned.

Institutional research services revenue consists of brokerage transaction charges and underwriting syndicate revenues related to services provided to institutional investors. Brokerage transaction charges earned and related expenses are recorded on a trade date basis. Syndicate participation and underwriting revenues include gains, losses and fees, net of syndicate expenses, arising from securities offerings in which SCB LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, acts as an underwriter or agent. Syndicate participation and underwriting revenues are recorded on the offering date.

Mutual Fund Underwriting Activities

Purchases and sales of shares of Alliance Mutual Funds in connection with the underwriting activities of the Operating Partnership's subsidiaries, including related commission income, are recorded on trade date. Receivables from brokers and dealers for sale of shares of Alliance Mutual Funds are generally realized within three business days from trade date, in conjunction with the settlement of the related payables to Alliance Mutual Funds for share purchases.

Collateralized Securities Transactions

Securities borrowed and securities loaned are recorded at the amount of cash collateral advanced or received in connection with the transaction and are included in receivables from and payables to brokers and dealers in the consolidated statement of financial condition. Securities borrowed transactions require SCB LLC to deposit cash or other collateral with the lender. With respect to securities loaned, SCB LLC receives collateral. The initial collateral advanced or received approximates or is greater than the fair value of securities borrowed or loaned. SCB LLC monitors the fair value of the securities borrowed and loaned on a daily basis and requests additional collateral or returns excess collateral as appropriate. Income or expense is recognized over the life of the transactions.

Securities Transactions

Customers’ securities transactions are reported on a settlement date basis with related commission income and expenses reported on a trade date basis. Receivables from and payables to customers include amounts due on cash and margin transactions. Securities owned by customers are held as collateral for receivables. Such collateral is not reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Principal securities transactions and related expenses are recorded on a trade date basis. Transaction charges earned on customer securities transactions were $74,955,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000.

Option Plans

The Operating Partnership applies the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, under which compensation expense is recorded on the date of grant only if the market price of the underlying Alliance Holding Units exceeds the exercise price. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (“SFAS 123”), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, requires entities to recognize the fair value of all stock-based awards on the date of grant as expense over the vesting period or, alternatively, to continue to apply the provisions of APB 25 with disclosure of pro forma net income as if the fair-value method defined in SFAS 123 had been applied.

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in other promotion and servicing expenses.

Foreign Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into United States dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet dates, and related revenues and expenses are translated into United States dollars at average exchange rates in effect during each period. Net foreign currency gains and losses resulting from the translation of assets and liabilities of foreign operations into United States dollars are reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income in partners' capital. Net foreign currency gains and losses for the three-year period ended December 31, 2000 were not material.

Cash Distributions

The Operating Partnership is required to distribute all of its Available Cash Flow, as defined in the Alliance Capital Partnership Agreement, to the General Partner and Alliance Capital Unitholders.

Comprehensive Income

Total comprehensive income is reported in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Partners’ Capital and Comprehensive Income and includes net income, unrealized gains and losses on investments classified as available-for-sale, and foreign currency translation adjustments. The accumulated balance of comprehensive income items is displayed separately in the partners’ capital section of the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the 1999 and 1998 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 2000 presentation.

4. Acquisitions

On October 2, 2000, Alliance Capital acquired the business and assets of Bernstein and assumed the liabilities of the Bernstein business. The purchase price consisted of a cash payment of $1.4754 billion and 40.8 million newly issued Alliance Capital units. AXA Financial purchased approximately 32.6 million newly issued Alliance Capital units for $1.6 billion on June 21, 2000 to fund the cash portion of the purchase price.

The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method with the results of Bernstein included in the consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date. The cost of the acquisition was allocated on the basis of the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Portions of the purchase price were identified as net tangible assets of $0.1 billion and costs assigned to contracts acquired of $0.4 billion. Costs assigned to contracts acquired are being amortized over twenty years. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired resulted in the recognition of goodwill of approximately $3.0 billion and is being amortized over twenty years.

On December 22, 1998, a subsidiary of Alliance Holding acquired Whittingdale Holdings Limited (“Whittingdale”). The purchase price consists of an initial payment of $4.8 million in cash and two deferred payments of $3.5 million and $3.2 million, based on the attainment of certain revenue levels by Whittingdale. In connection with the Reorganization, the Operating Partnership assumed all of Alliance Holding’s rights and obligations with respect to the Whittingdale acquisition. The Operating Partnership also has agreed to pay up to $6.7 million to the former owner of Whittingdale. The amount of this payment is based upon revenues in the year 2003 and will be expensed if and when the payment is incurred. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method with the results of Whittingdale included in the consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired resulted in the recognition of goodwill of approximately $8.8 million, which increased to $10.3 million in 2000, and is being amortized over twenty years. Pro forma financial information for the year ended December 31, 1998 reflecting the effects of the acquisition is not presented because it would not be materially different from the actual results reported.

On February 29, 1996, Alliance Holding acquired substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Cursitor Holdings, L.P. (“CHLP”) and all of the outstanding shares of Cursitor Holdings Limited, currently Cursitor Alliance Holdings Limited (collectively, “Cursitor”), for approximately $159.0 million. The acquisition of Cursitor, which was accounted for under the purchase method, resulted in the formation of a new subsidiary, Cursitor Alliance LLC (“Cursitor Alliance”), in which CHLP owns a 7% minority equity interest. CHLP has exercised its option to require the Operating Partnership to purchase its minority interest in Cursitor Alliance for $10.0 million (See Note 14). During the fourth quarter of 2000, management of the Operating Partnership determined that the remaining value of the intangible assets recorded in connection with this acquisition was impaired and wrote-off the remaining balance, resulting in a charge of $16.6 million.

5. Pro Forma Financial Information (Unaudited)

The following table summarizes the unaudited condensed 2000 and 1999 results of operations of the Operating Partnership as if the Bernstein Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2000 and January 1, 1999.

The pro forma financial information does not necessarily reflect the results of operations that would have been obtained had the Bernstein Acquisition occurred on January 1, 2000 and January 1, 1999, nor is the pro forma financial information necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be achieved for any future period.

12. Debt

13. Interest Rate Cap Agreement

Alliance Holding entered into a three-year interest rate cap agreement with a major U.S. commercial bank, effective in December 1998, which was assumed by the Operating Partnership in connection with the Reorganization. The purpose of this agreement is to reduce the Operating Partnership’s exposure to interest rate risk by effectively placing an interest rate ceiling or “cap” of 6% per annum on interest payable on up to $100 million of the debt outstanding under the commercial paper program and the five-year revolving credit facility. The fair value of the interest rate cap was approximately $135,000 at December 31, 2000, and the carrying value of the unamortized premium was $290,694.

The $100 million notional principal amount does not represent the Operating Partnership’s exposure to credit risk, but is the basis for determining the payment obligation of the counterparty. During the term of the interest rate cap, the Operating Partnership will receive monthly payments from the counterparty based on the excess, if any, of the stated reference rate of 6% times the notional amount. Should the counterparty fail to perform its obligations under the agreement, the borrowing costs on the first $100 million of debt outstanding could exceed 6%. However, at this time, the Operating Partnership does not have any reason to believe that the counterparty would fail to perform.

14. Commitments and Contingencies

The Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries lease office space, furniture and office equipment under various operating leases. The future minimum payments under noncancelable leases, net of sublease commitments, at December 31, 2000 aggregated $1,053,487,000 and are payable as follows: $56,142,000, $62,246,000, $60,978,000, $72,279,000 and $65,535,000 for the years 2001 through 2005, respectively, and a total of $736,307,000 for the remaining years through 2019. Office leases contain escalation clauses that provide for the pass through of increases in operating expenses and real estate taxes. Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 was $46,157,000, $31,907,000 and $25,062,000, respectively.

In connection with the Cursitor acquisition, Alliance Holding obtained an option to purchase the minority interest held by CHLP in Cursitor Alliance, and CHLP obtained an option to sell its minority interest to Alliance Holding for cash, Alliance Holding Units, or a combination thereof with a value of not less than $10.0 million or more than $37.0 million (“Buyout Price”). The Operating Partnership assumed all of Alliance Holding’s rights and obligations with respect to CHLP in connection with the Reorganization. CHLP exercised its option to require the Operating Partnership to purchase its minority interest in Cursitor Alliance for a Buyout Price of $10.0 million.

15. Net Capital

SCB LLC a wholly owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, is a broker-dealer and member of the NYSE. SCB LLC is subject to Uniform Net Capital Rule 15c3-1 of the SEC. SCB LLC computes its net capital under the alternative method permitted by the rule, which requires that minimum net capital, as defined, equal the greater of two percent of aggregate debit items arising from customer transactions, as defined, which amounts to $8,382,000, or $1,000,000. At December 31, 2000, SCB LLC had net capital of $164,903,000, which exceeded the minimum net capital requirements by $156,521,000.

Advances, dividend payments and other equity withdrawals by SCB LLC are restricted by the regulations of the SEC, NYSE and other securities agencies. At December 31, 2000, $20,957,000 was not available for payment of cash dividends and advances.

AFD, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, serves as distributor and/or underwriter for certain Alliance Mutual Funds. AFD is registered as a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is subject to the minimum net capital requirements imposed by the SEC. AFD's net capital at December 31, 2000 was $45,607,000, which was $31,179,000 in excess of its required net capital of $14,428,000.

16. Risk Management

Customer Activities

In the normal course of business, brokerage activities involve the execution, settlement and financing of various customer securities, which may expose SCB LLC to off-balance sheet risk in the event the customer is unable to fulfill its contracted obligations by requiring SCB LLC to purchase or sell securities at prevailing market prices.

SCB LLC’s customer securities activities are transacted on either a cash or margin basis. In margin transactions, SCB LLC extends credit to the customer, subject to various regulatory and internal margin requirements. These transactions are collateralized by cash or securities in the customer’s account. In connection with these activities, SCB LLC may execute and clear customer transactions involving the sale of securities not yet purchased. SCB LLC seeks to control the risks associated with margin transactions by requiring customers to maintain collateral in compliance with the aforementioned regulatory and internal guidelines. SCB LLC monitors required margin levels daily and, pursuant to such guidelines, requires the customers to deposit additional collateral, or reduce positions, when necessary. A majority of SCB LLC’s customer margin accounts are managed on a discretionary basis whereby SCB LLC maintains control over the investment activity in the accounts. For these discretionary accounts, SCB LLC’s margin deficiency exposure is minimized through maintaining a diversified portfolio of securities and by virtue of its discretionary authority and role as custodian.

SCB LLC may enter into forward currency contracts on behalf of accounts for which SCB LLC acts as custodian. SCB LLC minimizes credit risk associated with these contracts by monitoring these positions on a daily basis, as well as by virtue of its discretionary authority and role as custodian.

In accordance with industry practice, SCB LLC records customer transactions on a settlement date basis, which is generally three business days after trade date. SCB LLC is therefore exposed to risk of loss on these transactions in the event of the customer’s or broker’s inability to meet the terms of their contracts, in which case SCB LLC may have to purchase or sell financial instruments at prevailing market prices. Settlement of these transactions is not expected to have a material effect upon SCB LLC’s financial statements.

Other Counterparties

SCB LLC is engaged in various brokerage activities in which counterparties primarily include broker-dealers, banks and other financial institutions. In the event counterparties do not fulfill their obligations, SCB LLC may be exposed to risk. The risk of default depends on the creditworthiness of the counterparty or issuer of the instrument. It is SCB LLC’s policy to review, as necessary, the credit standing of each counterparty.

In connection with SCB LLC’s security borrowing and lending arrangements, which constitute the majority of the receivable from and payable to brokers and dealers, SCB LLC enters into collateralized agreements which may result in credit exposure in the event the counterparty to a transaction is unable to fulfill its contractual obligations. Security borrowing arrangements require SCB LLC to deposit cash collateral with the lender. With respect to security lending arrangements, SCB LLC receives collateral in the form of cash in amounts generally in excess of the market value of the securities loaned. SCB LLC minimizes credit risk associated with these activities by establishing credit limits for each broker and monitoring these limits on a daily basis. Additionally, security borrowing and lending collateral is marked to market on a daily basis, and additional collateral is deposited by or returned to SCB LLC as necessary.

17. Employee Benefit Plans

In connection with the Reorganization, all employees of Alliance Holding became employees of the Operating Partnership effective October 29, 1999 and the Operating Partnership assumed all employee benefit plans previously administered by Alliance Holding. The Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries maintain a number of qualified and nonqualified employee benefit and incentive compensation plans. Except as indicated, the aggregate amount available for annual employee bonuses and contributions to the various employee benefit plans discussed below is based on a percentage of the consolidated operating profits of the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries.

The Operating Partnership maintains a qualified profit sharing plan covering substantially all U.S. and certain foreign employees except former employees of Bernstein. The amount of the annual contribution to the plan is determined by a committee of the Board of Directors of the General Partner. Contributions are limited to the maximum amount deductible for federal income tax purposes, generally 15% of the total annual compensation of eligible participants. Aggregate contributions for 2000, 1999 and 1998 were $13,628,000, $11,415,000 and $10,049,000, respectively.

The Operating Partnership maintains a qualified 401(k) plan covering former employees of Bernstein. The amount of the annual contribution to the plan is determined by a committee of the Board of Directors of the General Partner. Contributions are limited to the maximum amount deductible for federal income tax purposes. Aggregate contributions for 2000 were $4,059,000.

The Operating Partnership maintains a qualified noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan in the U.S. covering substantially all U.S. employees and certain foreign employees except former employees of Bernstein. Benefits are based on years of credited service, average final base salary and primary Social Security benefits. The Operating Partnership's funding policy is to contribute annually an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be deducted for federal income tax purposes. Plan assets are comprised principally of corporate equity securities, U.S. Treasury securities and shares of Alliance Mutual Funds.

The projected benefit obligation under the retirement plan at December 31, 2000 and 1999 was comprised of (in thousands):

	2000	1999

Annual salary increases	5.66%	5.66%	5.66%

Variances between actuarial assumptions and actual experience are amortized over the estimated average remaining service lives of employees participating in the retirement plan.

18. Deferred Compensation Plans

The Operating Partnership maintains a nonqualified unfunded deferred compensation plan known as the Capital Accumulation Plan and assumed obligations under contractual unfunded deferred compensation arrangements covering certain executives.

The Capital Accumulation Plan was frozen on December 31, 1987 and no additional awards have been made. The Board of Directors of the General Partner may terminate the Capital Accumulation Plan at any time without cause, in which case the Operating Partnership's liability would be limited to benefits that have vested. Benefits due eligible executives under the contractual unfunded deferred compensation arrangements vested on or before December 31, 1987. Payment of vested benefits under both the Capital Accumulation Plan and the contractual unfunded deferred compensation arrangements will generally be made over a ten-year period commencing at retirement age. ACMC, Inc., a subsidiary of AXA Financial, is obligated to make capital contributions to the Operating Partnership in amounts equal to benefits paid under the Capital Accumulation Plan and the contractual unfunded deferred compensation arrangements. Amounts included in employee compensation and benefits expense for the Capital Accumulation Plan and the contractual unfunded deferred compensation arrangements for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 were $2,172,000, $1,727,000 and $2,112,000, respectively.

In connection with the acquisition of Bernstein, the Operating Partnership adopted a deferred compensation plan, known as the SCB Deferred Compensation Award Plan, under which the Operating Partnership has agreed to invest $96 million perannum for three years to fund open market purchases of Alliance Holding Units or money market funds, in each case for the benefit of certain individuals who were stockholders or principals of Bernstein or hired to replace them. The awards vest ratably over three years and are amortized as employee compensation expense. Aggregate amortization of $6,805,000 was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2000.

During 1995, the Operating Partnership established an unfunded deferred compensation plan known as the Alliance Partners Compensation Plan (the "Plan") under which certain awards may be granted to eligible executives. A committee comprised of certain executive officers of the General Partner administers the Plan and determines the aggregate amount and recipients of awards. Awards made in 1995 vest ratably over three years. Awards made after 1995 generally vest ratably over eight years. Until distributed, the 1995 through 1998 awards are generally credited with earnings based on the Operating Partnership’s earnings growth rate. Payment of vested 1995 through 1998 benefits will generally be made in cash over a five-year period commencing at retirement or termination of employment although, under certain circumstances, full or partial lump sum payments may be made. Effective for 1999, annual awards are payable in Alliance Holding Units and a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership purchases Alliance Holding Units for the account of each participant. The Alliance Holding Units may not be transferred until vested. The vesting periods range from one to eight years depending on the age of the participant. Participants receive distributions on non-vested Alliance Holding Units during the vesting period. The Plan may be terminated at any time without cause, in which case the Operating Partnership's liability would be limited to vested benefits. The Operating Partnership made awards in 2000, 1999 and 1998 aggregating $62,105,000, $48,210,000 and $25,825,000, respectively. The amounts charged to employee compensation and benefits expense for the Plan for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 were $18,159,000, $12,044,000 and $6,587,000, respectively.

During 2000, the Operating Partnership established an unfunded deferred compensation plan known as the Annual Elective Deferral Plan (the “Deferral Plan”) under which participants may elect to defer a portion of their annual bonus or commission and invest it in the Deferral Plan. A committee comprised of certain executive officers of the General Partner administers the Deferral Plan and the Operating Partnership contributes a supplemental amount equal to 20% of the deferred bonus or commission to the Deferral Plan. The supplemental amounts contributed by the Operating Partnership, which totaled $2,657,000 in 2000, vest ratably over three years and are amortized as employee compensation expense.

During 1994, certain key employees of Shields Asset Management, Incorporated ("Shields") and its wholly owned subsidiary, Regent Investor Services, Incorporated ("Regent") entered into employment agreements with Alliance Holding and were issued 1,290,320 new Alliance Holding Units with an aggregate fair market value of approximately $15,000,000, which was amortized as employee compensation expense ratably over five years. The Operating Partnership assumed all of Alliance Holding’s obligations with respect to such employees in connection with the Reorganization. Aggregate amortization of $500,000 and $3,000,000 was recorded for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

19. Employee Unit Award and Option Plans

In connection with the Reorganization, the Operating Partnership assumed all obligations under the employee award and option plans previously administered by Alliance Holding.

During 1988, a Unit Option Plan (the “Unit Option Plan”) was established under which options to purchase Alliance Holding Units were granted to certain key employees. A committee of the Board of Directors of the General Partner administers the Unit Option Plan and determines the grantees and the number of options to be granted. Options may be granted for terms of up to ten years and each option must have an exercise price of not less than the fair market value of Alliance Holding Units on the date of grant. Options are exercisable at a rate of 20% of the Alliance Holding Units subject to options on each of the first five anniversary dates of the date of grant. As of December 31, 2000, 1,674,880 options to purchase Alliance Holding Units were outstanding under the Unit Option Plan. No more options may be granted under the Unit Option Plan.

During 1993, the 1993 Unit Option Plan, the Unit Bonus Plan and the Century Club Plan (together the "1993 Plans") were established by Alliance Holding. Committees of the Board of Directors of the General Partner administer the 1993 Plans and determine the recipients of grants and awards. Under the 1993 Unit Option Plan, options to purchase Alliance Holding Units may be granted to key employees for terms of up to ten years. Each option must have an exercise price of not less than the fair market value of Alliance Holding Units on the date of grant. Options are exercisable at a rate of 20% of the Alliance Holding Units subject to options on each of the first five anniversary dates of the date of grant. Under the Unit Bonus Plan, Alliance Holding Units may be awarded to key employees in lieu of all or a portion of the cash bonuses they would otherwise receive under the Operating Partnership's incentive compensation program. Under the Century Club Plan, employees whose primary responsibilities are to assist in the distribution of Alliance Mutual Funds are eligible to receive an award of Alliance Holding Units. The aggregate number of Alliance Holding Units that can be the subject of options granted or that can be awarded under the 1993 Plans may not exceed 6,400,000 Alliance Holding Units. As of December 31, 2000, 3,759,700 Alliance Holding Units were subject to options granted and 22,515 Alliance Holding Units were subject to awards made under the 1993 Plans.

During 1997, the 1997 Long Term Incentive Plan (the "1997 Plan") was established by Alliance Holding. Committees of the Board of Directors of the General Partner administer the 1997 Plan and determine the recipients of Alliance Holding Unit awards, including options, restricted Alliance Holding Units and phantom restricted Alliance Holding Units, performance awards, other Alliance Holding Unit based awards, or any combination thereof. Awards under the 1997 Plan may be granted to key employees for terms established at the time of grant by the Committees. The aggregate number of Alliance Holding Units that can be the subject of options granted or that can be awarded under the 1997 Plan may not exceed 41,000,000 Alliance Holding Units.

During 2000, 1999, and 1998, the Committees authorized the grant of options to employees of the Operating Partnership to purchase 4,698,000, 2,000,000 and 2,777,000 Alliance Holding Units, respectively, under the Unit Option Plan, the 1993 Plans and the 1997 Plan. The per Alliance Holding Unit weighted-average fair value of options granted during 2000, 1999 and 1998 was $8.32, $3.88 and $3.86, respectively, on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: risk-free interest rates of 5.9%, 5.7%, and 4.4% for 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively; expected dividend yield of 7.2% for 2000, 8.7% for 1999 and 6.5% for 1998; and a volatility factor of the expected market price of Alliance Holding’s Units of 30% for 2000 and 29% for 1999 and 1998.

The Operating Partnership applies APB 25 in accounting for its option plans and, accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for employee options, granted at fair market value, in the consolidated financial statements. Had the Operating Partnership determined compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant date for its employee options under SFAS 123, the Operating Partnership’s net income for 2000, the Operating Partnership’s and Alliance Holding’s combined net income for 1999, and Alliance Holding’s net income for 1998 would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below (in thousands):

	2000	1999	1998
SFAS 123 Pro forma net income	$656,712	$455,546	$289,831

Pro forma net income reflects options granted beginning January 1, 1995. Therefore, the full impact of calculating compensation cost for options under SFAS 123 is not reflected in the pro forma net income amounts presented above because compensation cost is reflected over the options’ vesting period of five years and compensation cost for options granted prior to January 1, 1995 is not considered.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected Alliance Holding Unit price volatility. Because employee options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing model does not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the options.

The following table summarizes the activity in options under the Unit Option Plan, 1993 Plans and the 1997 Plan:

	Alliance Holding Units	Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Alliance Holding Unit
Outstanding at January 1, 1998	10,637,600	$11.41

Exercise prices for options outstanding as of December 31, 2000 ranged from $6.63 to $53.75 per Alliance Holding Unit. The weighted-average remaining contractual life of those options is 7.36 years.

The following table summarizes information concerning currently outstanding and exercisable options:

20. Income Taxes

The Operating Partnership is a private partnership for federal income tax purposes and, accordingly, is not subject to federal and state corporate income taxes. However, the Operating Partnership is subject to the New York City unincorporated business tax (“UBT”). Domestic corporate subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership, which are subject to federal, state and local income taxes, are generally included in the filing of a consolidated federal income tax return. Separate state and local income tax returns are filed. Foreign corporate subsidiaries are generally subject to taxes in the foreign jurisdictions where they are located. Alliance Holding is a publicly traded partnership for federal income tax purposes and is subject to the UBT and, beginning January 1, 1998, a 3.5% federal tax on partnership gross income from the active conduct of a trade or business.

21. Business Segment Information

Alliance Holding adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 (“SFAS 131”),“Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”, in 1999. SFAS 131 establishes standards for the way a public enterprise reports information about operating segments in its annual and interim financial statements. It also establishes standards for related enterprise-wide disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. Generally, financial information is required to be reported consistent with the basis used by management to allocate resources and assess performance.

Management has assessed the requirements of SFAS 131 and determined that, because the Operating Partnership utilizes a consolidated approach to assess performance and allocate resources, it has only one operating segment. Enterprise-wide disclosures as of and for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 were as follows:

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the management of the General Partner. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Alliance Capital as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and Alliance Capital’s and Alliance Capital Management Holding L.P. and subsidiaries’ results of operations and cash flows for each of the periods referred to above presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Option Grants in 2000

The table below shows information regarding grants of options made to the Named Executive Officers under the 1993 Unit Option Plan and the 1997 Long Term Incentive Plan (“Alliance Capital Option Plans”) during 2000. The amounts shown for each of the Named Executive Officers as potential realizable values are based on assumed annualized rates of appreciation of five percent and ten percent over the full ten-year term of the options, which would result in Alliance Holding Unit prices of approximately $82.46 and $131.31, respectively. The amounts shown as potential realizable values for all Alliance Holding Unitholders represent the corresponding increases in the market value of 73,184,232 outstanding Alliance Holding Units held by all Alliance Holding Unitholders as of December 31, 2000, which would total approximately $2.3 billion and $5.9 billion, respectively. No gain to the optionees is possible without an increase in Alliance Holding Unit price which will benefit all Alliance Holding Unitholders proportionately. These potential realizable values are based solely on assumed rates of appreciation required by applicable SEC regulations. Actual gains, if any, on option exercises and Alliance Holding Unitholdings are dependent on the future performance of the Alliance Holding Units. There can be no assurance that the potential realizable values shown in this table will be achieved.

(1) Options on Alliance Holding Units are awarded at the fair market value of Alliance Holding Units at the date of award and become exercisable in 20% increments commencing one year from such date if the optionee has not died or terminated employment. Such options lapse at the earliest of ten years after award, three months after the optionee’s normal termination of employment or disability, six months after the optionee’s death, or at the time of the optionee’s termination of employment otherwise than normally.

(2) Options in respect of 4,698,000 Alliance Holding Units were granted in 2000.

Aggregated Option Exercises in 2000 and 2000 Year-End Option Values

The following table summarizes for each of the Named Executive Officers the number of options exercised during 2000, the aggregate dollar value realized upon exercise, the total number of Alliance Holding Units subject to unexercised options held at December 31, 2000, and the aggregate dollar value of in-the-money, unexercised options held at December 31, 2000. Value realized upon exercise is the difference between the fair market value of the underlying Alliance Holding Units on the exercise date and the exercise price of the option. Value of unexercised, in-the-money options at fiscal year-end is the difference between its exercise price and the fair market value of the underlying Alliance Holding Units on December 31, 2000, which was $50.625 per Alliance Holding Unit. These values have not been, and may never be, realized. The underlying options have not been, and may never be, exercised, and actual gains, if any, on exercise will depend on the value of Alliance Holding Units on the date of exercise. There can be no assurance that these values will be realized

Aggregated Option Exercises In 2000 And December 31, 2000 Option Values

			Number of Alliance Holding Units Underlying Unexpired Options at December 31, 2000		Value of Unexercised In-the-Money Options at December 31, 2000 ($) (1)

David R. Brewer, Jr.	44,750	1,927,039	127,000	101,000	4,877,875	1,052,000

(1) In-the-Money Options are those where the fair market value of the underlying Alliance Holding Units exceeds the exercise price of the option. The Named Executive Officers hold no other options in respect of the Alliance Holding Units or the Alliance Capital Units.

Options to acquire Alliance Holding Units are granted by Alliance Capital to its employees. Upon exercise of options, Alliance Holding exchanges the proceeds from exercise for a number of Alliance Capital Units equal to the number of Alliance Holding Units acquired pursuant to the option exercises, thus increasing Alliance Holding’s investment in Alliance Capital.

Compensation Agreements with Certain Executive Officers

In connection with Equitable’s 1985 acquisition of Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, Inc, (DLJ), the former parent of ACMC, ACMC entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Williams, Carifa and Calvert. Each agreement provided for deferred compensation payable in stated monthly amounts for ten years commencing at age 65, or earlier in a reduced amount in the event of disability or death, if the individual involved so elects. The right to receive such deferred compensation is vested. Assuming payments commence at age 65, the annual amount of deferred compensation payable for ten years to Messrs. Williams, Carifa and Calvert is $425,731, $522,036, and $434,612, respectively. While Alliance Capital assumed responsibility for payment of these deferred compensation obligations, ACMC and Alliance are required, subject to certain limitations, to make capital contributions to Alliance Capital in an amount equal to the payments, and ACMC is also obligated to the employees for the payments. ACMC’s obligations to make capital contributions to Alliance Capital are guaranteed, subject to certain limitations, by Equitable Investment Corporation (“EIC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Equitable, the parent of Alliance.

Certain Employee Benefit Plans

Retirement Plan. Alliance Capital maintains a qualified, non-contributory, defined benefit retirement plan covering most employees of Alliance Capital who have completed one year of service and attained age 21. Employer contributions are determined by application of actuarial methods and assumptions to reflect the cost of benefits under the plan. Each participant’s benefits are determined under a formula which takes into account years of credited service, the participant’s average compensation over prescribed periods and Social Security covered compensation. The maximum annual benefit payable under the plan may not exceed the lesser of $100,000 or 100% of a participant’s average aggregate compensation for the three consecutive years in which he received the highest aggregate compensation from Alliance Capital or such lower limit as may be imposed by the Internal Revenue Code on certain participants by reason of their coverage under another qualified plan maintained by Alliance Capital. A participant is fully vested after the completion of five years of service. The plan generally provides for payments to or on behalf of each vested employee upon such employee’s retirement at the normal retirement age provided under the plan or later, although provision is made for payment of early retirement benefits on an actuarially reduced basis. Normal retirement age under the plan is 65. Death benefits are payable to the surviving spouse of an employee who dies with a vested benefit under the plan.

The table below sets forth with respect to the retirement plan the estimated annual straight life annuity benefits payable upon retirement at normal retirement age for employees with the remuneration and years of service indicated.

	Estimated Annual Benefits
	Years of Service at Retirement
Average Final Compensation	15	20	25	30	35	40	45
Average Final Compensation
$100,000	$18,872	$25,162	$31,453	$37,744	$44,034	$49,034	$54,034
150,000	30,122	40,162	50,203	60,244	70,284	77,784	85,284
200,000	41,372	55,162	68,953	82,744	96,534	100,000	100,000
250,000	52,622	70,162	87,803	100,000	100,000	100,000	100,000
300,000	63,872	85,162	100,000	100,000	100,000	100,000	100,000

Assuming they are employed by Alliance Capital until age 65, the credited years of service under the plan for Messrs. Williams, Calvert, Carifa, Joseph and Brewer would be 20, 38, 40, 28 and 22, respectively. Compensation on which plan benefits are based includes only base compensation and not bonuses, incentive compensation, profit-sharing plan contributions or deferred compensation. The compensation for calculation of plan benefits for each of these five individuals for 2000 is $170,000, $170,000, $170,000, $170,000 and $170,000, respectively.

DLJ Executive Supplemental Retirement Program. In 1983, Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, Inc. (“DLJ”) adopted an Executive Supplemental Retirement Program under which certain employees of Alliance Capital deferred a portion of their 1983 compensation in return for which DLJ agreed to pay each of them a specified annual retirement benefit for 15 years beginning at age 65. Benefits are based upon the participant’s age and the amount deferred and are calculated to yield an approximate 12.5% annual compound return. In the event of the participant’s disability or death, an equal or lesser amount is to be paid to the participant or his beneficiary. After age 55, participants the sum of whose age and years of service equals 80 may elect to have their benefits begin in an actuarially reduced amount before age 65. DLJ has funded its obligation under the Program through the purchase of life insurance policies.

The following table shows as to the Named Executive Officers who are participants in the Plan the estimated annual retirement benefit payable at age 65. Each of these individuals is fully vested in the applicable benefit.

Name	Estimated Annual Retirement Benefit

Dave H. Williams	$55,838.28
Bruce W. Calvert	154,501.80
John D. Carifa	124,495.56

The General Partner makes all decisions relating to the management of Alliance Capital and Alliance Holding. The General Partner has agreed that it will conduct no business other than managing Alliance Capital and Alliance Holding, although it may make certain investments for its own account. Conflicts of interest, however, could arise between Alliance Capital and Alliance Holding, the General Partner and the Unitholders of both Alliance Capital and Alliance Holding.

Section 17-403(b) of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (the “Delaware Act”) states that, except as provided in the Delaware Act or the partnership agreement, a general partner of a limited partnership has the same liabilities to the partnership and to the limited partners as a general partner in a partnership without limited partners. While, under Delaware law, a general partner of a limited partnership is liable as a fiduciary to the other partners, the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Alliance Capital Management L.P. (“Alliance Capital Partnership Agreement”) and the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Alliance Capital Management Holding L.P. (“Alliance Holding Partnership Agreement”) set forth a more limited standard of liability for the General Partner. The Alliance Capital Partnership Agreement and the Alliance Holding Partnership Agreement provide that the General Partner is not liable for monetary damages for errors in judgment or for breach of fiduciary duty (including breach of any duty of care or loyalty), unless it is established that the General Partner’s action or failure to act involved an act or omission undertaken with deliberate intent to cause injury, with reckless disregard for the best interests of Alliance Capital or Alliance Holding or with actual bad faith on the part of the General Partner, or constituted actual fraud. Whenever the Alliance Capital Partnership Agreement and the Alliance Holding Partnership Agreement provide that the General Partner is permitted or required to make a decision (i) in its “discretion,” the General Partner is entitled to consider only such interests and factors as it desires and has no duty or obligation to consider any interest of or other factors affecting Alliance Capital or Alliance Holding or any Unitholder of Alliance Capital or Alliance Holding or (ii) in its “good faith” or under another express standard, the General Partner will act under that express standard and will not be subject to any other or different standard imposed by the Alliance Capital Partnership Agreement and the Alliance Holding Partnership Agreement or applicable law.

In addition, the Alliance Capital Partnership Agreement and the Alliance Holding Partnership Agreement grant broad rights of indemnification to the General Partner and its directors and affiliates and authorizes Alliance Capital and Alliance Holding to enter into indemnification agreements with the directors, officers, partners, employees and agents of Alliance Capital and its affiliates and Alliance Holding and its affiliates. Alliance Capital and Alliance Holding have granted broad rights of indemnification to officers of the General Partner and employees of Alliance Capital and Alliance Holding. The foregoing indemnification provisions are not exclusive, and Alliance Capital and Alliance Holding are authorized to enter into additional indemnification arrangements. Alliance Capital and Alliance Holding have obtained directors and officers liability insurance.

The Alliance Capital Partnership Agreement and the Alliance Holding Partnership Agreement also allow transactions between Alliance Capital and Alliance Holding and the General Partner or its affiliates if the transactions are on terms determined by the General Partner to be comparable to (or more favorable to Alliance Capital or Alliance Holding than) those that would prevail with any unaffiliated party. The Alliance Capital Partnership Agreement and the Alliance Holding Partnership Agreement provide that those transactions are deemed to meet that standard if such transactions are approved by a majority of those directors of the General Partner who are not directors, officers or employees of any affiliate of the General Partner (other than Alliance Capital, and its subsidiaries or Alliance Holding) or, if in the reasonable and good faith judgment of the General Partner, the transactions are on terms substantially comparable to (or more favorable to Alliance Capital or Alliance Holding than) those that would prevail in a transaction with an unaffiliated party.

The Alliance Capital Partnership Agreement and the Alliance Holding Partnership Agreement expressly permit all affiliates of the General Partner (including Equitable and its other subsidiaries) to compete, directly or indirectly, with Alliance Capital and Alliance Holding, to engage in any business or other activity and to exploit any opportunity, including those that may be available to Alliance Capital and Alliance Holding. AXA, AXA Financial, Equitable and certain of their subsidiaries currently compete with Alliance Capital. See “Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions-Competition.” The Alliance Capital Partnership Agreement and the Alliance Holding Partnership Agreement further provide that, except to the extent that a decision or action by the General Partner is taken with the specific intent of providing a benefit to an affiliate of the General Partner to the detriment of Alliance Capital or Alliance Holding, there is no liability or obligation with respect to, and no challenge of, decisions or actions of the General Partner that would otherwise be subject to claims or other challenges as improperly benefiting affiliates of the General Partner to the detriment of Alliance Capital or Alliance Holding or otherwise involving any conflict of interest or breach of a duty of loyalty or similar fiduciary obligation.

The fiduciary obligations of general partners is a developing area of the law and it is not clear to what extent the foregoing provisions of the Alliance Capital Partnership Agreement and the Alliance Holding Partnership Agreement are enforceable under Delaware or federal law.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

Competition

AXA, AXA Financial, Equitable and certain of their direct and indirect subsidiaries provide financial services, some of which are competitive with those offered by Alliance Capital. The Alliance Capital Partnership Agreement specifically allows Equitable and its subsidiaries (other than the General Partner) to compete with Alliance Capital and to exploit opportunities that may be available to Alliance Capital. AXA, AXA Financial, Equitable and certain of their subsidiaries have substantially greater financial resources than Alliance Capital or the General Partner.

Financial Services

The Alliance Capital Partnership Agreement and the Alliance Holding Partnership Agreement permit Equitable and its affiliates to provide services to Alliance Capital and Alliance Holding on terms comparable to (or more favorable to Alliance Capital than) those that would prevail in a transaction with an unaffiliated third party. The General Partner believes that its arrangements with Equitable and its affiliates are at least as favorable to Alliance Capital and Alliance Holding as could be obtained from an unaffiliated third party, based on its knowledge of and inquiry with respect to comparable arrangements with or between unaffiliated third parties.

Alliance Capital acts as the investment manager for the general and separate accounts of Equitable and its insurance company subsidiary pursuant to investment advisory agreements. During 2000 Alliance Capital received approximately $47.5 million in fees pursuant to these agreements. In connection with the services provided under these agreements Alliance Capital provides ancillary accounting, valuation, reporting, treasury and other services under service agreements. During 2000 Alliance Capital received approximately $9.1 million in fees pursuant to these agreements. Equitable provides certain legal and other services to Alliance Capital relating to certain insurance and other regulatory aspects of the general and separate accounts of Equitable and its insurance company subsidiary. During 2000 Alliance Capital paid approximately $1.1 million to Equitable for these services.

Equitable has issued life insurance policies to ACMC on certain employees of Alliance Capital, the costs of which are borne by ACMC without reimbursement by Alliance Capital. During 2000 ACMC paid approximately $5.3 million in insurance premiums on these policies.

Alliance Capital and its employees are covered under various insurance policies maintained by Equitable and its subsidiaries. The amount of premiums for these group policies paid by Alliance Capital to Equitable was approximately $306,000 for 2000.

Alliance Capital provides investment management services to certain employee benefit plans of Equitable and DLJ, which was a subsidiary of AXA Financial until November 3, 2000. Advisory fees from these accounts totaled approximately $4.4 million for 2000 including $3.8 million from the separate accounts of Equitable.

In April 1996 Alliance Capital acquired the United States investing activities and business of National Mutual Funds Management (“NMFM”), a subsidiary of AXA. In connection therewith, Alliance Capital entered into investment management agreements with AXA Asia Pacific and various of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “AXA Asia Pacific Group”). In 2000, the management fees related to services provided by Alliance Capital and its subsidiaries under these agreements amounted to approximately $3.42 million.

AXA Advisors was Alliance Capital’s third largest distributor of U.S. Funds in 2000 for which AXA Advisors received sales concessions from Alliance Capital on sales of $1,054 million. In 2000, AXA Advisors also distributed certain of Alliance Capital’s cash management products. AXA Advisors received distribution payments totaling $11.3 million in 2000 for these services.

DLJ Securities Corporation and Pershing, subsidiaries of AXA Financial until November 3, 2000, distribute certain Alliance Mutual Funds and cash management products and receive sales concessions and distribution payments. In addition, Alliance Capital and Pershing have an agreement pursuant to which Pershing recommends to certain of its correspondent firms the use of Alliance Capital’s cash management products for which Pershing is allocated a portion of the revenues derived by Alliance Capital from sales through the Pershing correspondents. Amounts paid by Alliance Capital to DLJ Securities Corporation, Pershing and Wood Struthers & Winthrop Management Corp., a subsidiary of DLJ, in connection with the above distribution services were $95.5 million in 2000. DLJ and its subsidiaries also provide Alliance Capital with brokerage and various other services, including clearing, investment banking, research, data processing and administrative services. Brokerage, the expense of which is borne by Alliance Capital’s clients, aggregated approximately $2.6 million for 2000. During 2000 Alliance Capital paid $500,000 to DLJ and its subsidiaries for all other services.

Alliance Capital and its subsidiaries provide investment management services to AXA Reinsurance Company, a subsidiary of AXA, and its affiliates, pursuant to discretionary investment advisory agreements. In 2000, the management fees related to services provided by Alliance Capital and its subsidiaries under such agreements amounted to approximately $1.65 million.

Alliance Capital and its subsidiaries provide investment management services to AXA World Funds, a Luxembourg fund, pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement between Alliance Capital and AXA Funds Management SA, a subsidiary of AXA. In 2000, the sub-advisory fees related to services provided by Alliance Capital ad its subsidiaries under the sub-advisory agreement amounted to approximately $268,000.

Alliance Capital and its subsidiaries provide investment management services to Nichidan Life Insurance Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of AXA, pursuant to various advisory agreements. In 2000, the advisory fees related to services provided by Alliance Capital and its subsidiaries under the advisory agreements amounted to approximately $955,000.

In 2000, the advisory fees related to services provided by Alliance Capital under the agreements amounted to approximately $549,000.

Other Transactions

On February 1, 2001, Alliance Capital and AXA Asia Pacific Holdings Limited (“AXA Asia Pacific”), a subsidiary of AXA, entered into a Subscription and Shareholders Agreement under which they established two new investment management companies in Australia and New Zealand named Alliance Capital Management Australia Limited and Alliance Capital Management New Zealand Limited, respectively. AXA Asia Pacific and Alliance Capital each own fifty percent (50%) of the equity of each new company and have equal representation on the Boards. Alliance Capital has day to day responsibility for operational management of the companies, which currently manage approximately $A23 billion in assets.

During 2000 Alliance Capital paid certain legal and other expenses incurred by Equitable and its insurance company subsidiary relating to the general and separate accounts of Equitable and such subsidiary for which it has been or will be fully reimbursed by Equitable. The largest amount of such indebtedness outstanding during 2000 was approximately $258,000 which represents the amount outstanding on November 30, 2000.

In connection with the Reorganization, Alliance Capital agreed to reimburse Alliance Holding for all costs and expenses incurred by Alliance Holding other than the payment of taxes.

Equitable and its affiliates are not obligated to provide funds to Alliance Capital, except for ACMC’s and the General Partner’s obligation to fund certain of Alliance Capital’s deferred compensation and employee benefit plan obligations referred to under “Item 11. Executive Compensation - Compensation Agreements with Named Executive Officers”.

In 1999 GIE Informatique AXA, an affiliate of AXA, entered into a technology cost contribution agreement with various AXA subsidiaries, including Alliance Capital, to enable the participants to share the costs and benefits of cooperative technology development through GIE Informatique AXA. All participants are joint owners of the technology and processes developed under this agreement. In 2000 Alliance Capital’s share of such costs was approximately $1,850,000. Alliance Capital anticipates to pay its share of such costs under this agreement in 2001.

Mrs. Reba W. Williams, the wife of Dave H. Williams, was employed by Alliance Capital during 2000 and received compensation in the amount of $100,000

Certain of the hedge funds managed by Alliance Capital pay a portion of the carried interests or performance fees to certain portfolio managers, research analysts and other investment professionals who are associated with the management of the hedge funds. Alliance Capital provides investment management services to the hedge funds and is entitled to receive between 75% and 100% of the aggregate carried interests or performance fees paid by such funds. Alliance Capital received approximately $94 million from the hedge funds in 2000 primarily in respect of the performance by the hedge funds in 1999. Mr. Alfred Harrison, a Director and Vice Chairman of the General Partner, received $4,601,792 in 2000 in respect of his association with the hedge funds.

ACMC and the General Partner are obligated, subject to certain limitations, to make capital contributions to Alliance Capital in an amount equal to the payments Alliance Capital is required to make as deferred compensation under the employment agreements entered into in connection with Equitable’s 1985 acquisition of DLJ, as well as obligations of Alliance Capital to various employees and their beneficiaries under Alliance Capital’s Capital Accumulation Plan. In 2000, ACMC made capital contributions to Alliance Capital in the amount of $658,000 in respect of these obligations. ACMC’s obligations to make these contributions are guaranteed by EIC subject to certain limitations. All tax deductions with respect to these obligations, to the extent funded by ACMC, Alliance or EIC, will be allocated to ACMC or Alliance.
