      market risk to which the Company would be exposed would result from fluctuations
      in: (a) interest rates and (b) currency exchange rates affecting the interest
      payments received by the Company in respect of the Mortgage Assets issued by
      NB
      Finance. Since the Mortgage Assets are significantly over collateralized by
      the
      Mortgage Loans, interest rate fluctuations should not present significant market
      risk. The Company expects that the interest and principal generated by the
      Mortgage Loans should enable full payment by NB Finance of all of its
      obligations as they come due. Since the Mortgage Loans are guaranteed by a
      fixed
      ratio of exchange predetermined on the date of purchase and applicable until
      the
      maturity of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Assignment
      Agreement, fluctuations in currency exchange rates should not present
      significant market risk.</font></div>

NB
        CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES
        TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March
31,
        2008
(unaudited)
(in
        thousands of U.S. dollars)
1)
        Incorporation and nature of operations
NB
        Capital Corporation (the ''Company'') was incorporated under the laws of the
        State of Maryland on August 20, 1997. The Company's principal business is
        to
        acquire, hold, finance and manage mortgage assets. The Company issued, through
        an Offering Circular dated August 22, 1997, $300,000 of preferred stock and
        simultaneously, National Bank of Canada (the "Bank"), the parent company, made a
        capital contribution in the amount of $183,000. The Company used the aggregate
        net proceeds of $477,000 to acquire promissory notes issued by NB Finance,
        Ltd.
        ("NB Finance"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank.
2)
        Significant accounting policies
Financial
        statements
The
        financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles
        generally accepted in the United States of America and are expressed in U.S.
        dollars.
The
        interim financial statements for the
three-month
periods
        are unaudited, however, the financial statements include, in the opinion
        of
        management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation. The unaudited
        financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial
        statements included in the Company's annual report for the year ended
December
        31, 2007
filed on
        Form 10-K. The interim financial statements may not be an indicator of the
        results anticipated in the full year.
Cash
        and cash equivalents
Cash
        equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily
        convertible to known amounts of cash and have a maturity of three months
        or less
        at the acquisition date.
Promissory
        notes
In
        accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (''SFAS'') No.115
''Accounting for certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities'' and based
        on the Company's intentions regarding these instruments, the Company has
        classified the Promissory notes as held to maturity and has accounted for
        them
        at amortized cost.
Income
        taxes
The
        Company has elected to be taxed as a Real Estate Investment Trust (''REIT'')
        under the
Internal
        Revenue Code of 1986
,
        as
        amended, and accordingly, is generally not liable for United States federal
        income tax to the extent that it distributes at least
90%
of its
        taxable income to its stockholders, maintains its qualification as a REIT
        and
        complies with certain other requirements. There is no unrecognized tax
        benefits.
Per
        share data
Basic
        and
        diluted earnings per share with respect to the Company for the
three-month
        periods ended
March
31, 2008
        and 2007
are
        computed based on the number of common shares outstanding during the period.
5
2)
        Significant accounting policies (continued)
Interest
        on promissory notes and cash and cash equivalents
Interest
        income on the promissory notes and cash and cash equivalents  is
        accrued using the simple interest method based on the average amount of
        principal outstanding. The accrual of interest is discontinued when management
        believes that the collection of interest is doubtful.
Use
        of estimates
The
        preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
        generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to
        make
        estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
        liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
        of
        the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
        during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent
        accounting standards adopted
In
        February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for
        Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("SFAS 159"), which allows
        measurement of specified financial instruments, warranty and insurance contracts
        at fair value on a contract by contract basis, with changes in fair value
        recognized in earnings in each period. SFAS 159 is effective at the beginning
        of
        the fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007, and is effective for
        the
        Company in fiscal 2008. The Company states that this standard does not have
        a
        material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
On
        September 15, 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No.157, "Fair Value
        Measurements" ("FAS 157"), which establishes a framework for measuring fair
        value in GAAP, and is applicable to other accounting pronouncements where
        fair
        value is considered to be the relevant measurement attribute. FAS 157 also
        expands disclosures about fair value measurements and is effective for the
        Company since January 1, 2008. However, the Company states that this standard
        does not have a material impact on its financial reporting and
        disclosure.
3)
        Promissory notes
The
        Company entered into loan agreements evidenced by promissory notes with NB
        Finance, an affiliated company. The promissory notes are collateralized by
        mortgage loans which are secured by residential first mortgages and insured
        by
        the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation.
The
        promissory notes have maturities ranging from April 2008 to January 2015,
        at
        rates ranging from 5.37% to 10.15%, with a weighted average rate of
        approximately 5.73% per annum.
The
        fair
        value of the promissory notes as at
March
        31,
        2008 is $470,866
.
        Fair
        value is estimated by using the present value of expected future cash flows
        and
        may not be indicative of the net realizable value.

MANAGEMENT'S
                  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS
                  OF OPERATIONS
Overview
(in
        thousands of U.S. dollars)
This
        report contains certain forward-looking statements and information relating
        to
        the Company that are based on the beliefs of the Company's management as well as
        assumptions made by and information currently available to the Company's
        management. When used in this report, the words "anticipate", "believe",
"estimate", "expect" and similar expressions, as they relate to the Company or
        the Company's management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
        Such statements reflect the current view of the Company's management with
        respect to future events and the Company's future performance and are subject to
        certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should management's current view
        of the future or underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may
        vary
        materially from those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated
        or
        expected. The Company does not intend to update these forward-looking
        statements.
The
        Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on August
        20,
        1997. The Company's principal business is to acquire, hold, finance and manage
        mortgage assets. The Company issued, through an Offering Circular dated August
        22, 1997, $300,000 Series A Preferred Shares and simultaneously, the Bank,
        the
        Company's parent company, made a capital contribution in the amount of $183,000.
        The Company used the aggregate net proceeds of $477,000 to acquire promissory
        notes ("Promissory notes") issued by NB Finance, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
        the Bank.
The
        Company's principal business objective is to acquire, hold, finance and manage
        assets consisting of obligations secured by real property as well as other
        qualifying REIT assets ("Mortgage Assets"). The Company has elected to be taxed
        as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and accordingly,
        is generally not liable for United States federal income tax to the extent
        that
        it distributes at least
90%
of its
        taxable income, subject to certain adjustments, to its
        stockholders.
This
        discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting the Company's results of
        operations, financial condition and liquidation / cash flows for the
first
quarter
        ended
March
        31,
        2008
,
        compared to the same period in
2007
.
        This
        discussion should be read in connection with the financial statements and
        notes
        included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December
        31, 2007
.
Critical
        accounting policies
We
        believe that there are no critical accounting policies in connection with
        the
        preparation of the financial statements of the Company.
Results
        of operations
(in
        thousands of U.S. dollars)
For
the
        three-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007
,
        the
        Company reported net income of
$6,978
        and $7,490
respectively.
        Revenues for the
three-month
        periods ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007
,
        which
        were comprised of interest income on promissory notes and cash and cash
        equivalents, were
$7,448
        and $7,915
respectively
,
and
        expenses were
$470
        and
        $425
respectively.
        Since the Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT, no income tax was recorded
        during the period.
Ninety-five
        percent
of
        revenues for the
three-month
        period ended March 31, 2008 and eighty-eight percent
of
        revenues for the
three-month period ended March 31, 2007
were
        derived from the Mortgage Assets issued by NB Finance. The proportion of
        revenues derived from the Mortgage Assets was higher than the corresponding
        period of 2007, due to the decrease in the interest rate revenues on cash
        equivalents. The Mortgage Assets issued by NB Finance are collateralized
        by the
"Mortgage Loans" that consist of
46
pools
        of
        residential first mortgages insured by the Canada Mortgage and Housing
        Corporation and which are secured by real property located in Canada
.
        The
balance
        of the revenues results from interest on cash equivalents. These revenues
        derived from the interest on cash equivalents are lower in 2008 than 2007
        due to
        a decrease in the amount of the deposit and in the interest rate on term
        deposits held in New York (approximate average deposit of $57,693 with a
        rate
        ranking from 1.75% to 3.75% in the first quarter of 2008 versus approximate
        average deposit of $84,500 with a rate of 4.75% in the first quarter of 2007).
The
        Company believes that the majority of revenues will continue to be generated
        by
        the Mortgage Assets issued by NB Finance.
Expenses
        for the
three-month
        periods ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007 totaled $470 and $425
respectively,
        of which
$398
        and
        $364,
respectively,
        represent servicing and advisory fees paid to the Bank, the Company's direct
        parent, pursuant to the Servicing Agreement between the Bank and the Company
        (the "Servicing Agreement") and the Advisory Agreement between the Bank and the
        Company (the "Advisory Agreement"), whereby the Bank performs all necessary
        operations in connection with administering the Mortgage Assets issued by
        NB
        Finance and the Mortgage Loans.
Expenses
        other than servicing and advisory fees paid to the Bank were legal and
        professional fees, including payments to the transfer agent, and totaled
        $72 and
        $61 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007
        respectively.
9
During
        the
three-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007,
the
        Board
        of Directors of the Company authorized dividends, in the aggregate, of
$6,269
        and $6,270 respectively
on
        its
        Adjustable Rate Cumulative Senior Preferred Shares and the Series A Preferred
        Shares and, accordingly, the Depository Shares. Such dividends were paid
        on
March
        31,
        2008 and March 30, 2007
.
Capital
        Resources and Liquidity
(in
        thousands of U.S. dollars)
The
        Company's revenues are derived from interest payments from the Mortgage Assets.
As
        of
        March 31, 2008,
$460,795
Mortgage
        Assets issued by NB Finance were collateralized by
C$642,606 ($575,994)
of
        Mortgage Loans. The Company believes that the amounts generated from the
        payment
        of interest and principal on such Mortgage Loans will provide more than
        sufficient funds to make full payments with respect to the Mortgage Assets
        issued by NB Finance and that such payments will provide the Company with
        sufficient funds to meet its operating expenses and to pay quarterly dividends
        on the Senior Preferred Shares (see Note 6 of Financial Statements) and the
        Series A Preferred Shares (see Note 6 of Financial Statements) and, accordingly,
        the Depository Shares (see Note 6 of Financial Statements). To the extent
        that
        the cash flow from its Mortgage Assets exceeds those amounts, the Company
        will
        use the excess to fund the acquisition of additional Mortgage Assets and
        make
        distributions on the Common Stock.
The
        Company does not require any capital resources for its operations and,
        therefore, it is not expected to acquire any capital assets in the foreseeable
        future.
As
        of
March
        31, 2008
,
        the
        Company had cash and cash equivalents of
$6,779
representing
1.41%
of total
        assets, compared to $64,348 representing 13.38% of total assets and
$16,887
representing
3.53%
of total
        assets, as of March 31, 2007 and as of
December
        31, 2007 respectively.
The cash
        and cash equivalents decreased because the Company increased its investments
        in
        promissory notes issued by NB Finance. The liquidity level is sufficient
        for the
        Company to pay fees and expenses pursuant to the Servicing Agreement and
        the
        Advisory Agreement. The Company made a purchase of additional Mortgage Assets
        on
March
        26,
        2008
.
The
        Company's primary business is to invest in Promissory notes issued by NB Finance
        and then receive repayments of capital and interest on a monthly basis.
For
        the
        three-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007, the Company
        invested $91,855 and $118,363, respectively, into Promissory notes and received
        $81,140 and $99,619, respectively, in repayments of capital
.
The
        Company's principal short-term and long-term liquidity needs are to pay
        quarterly dividends on the Senior Preferred Shares and the Series A Preferred
        Shares and, accordingly, the Depository Shares, to pay fees and expenses
        of the
        Bank pursuant to the Servicing Agreement and the Advisory Agreement, and
        to pay
        advisors, if any, of the Company.
Disclosure
        of Contractual Obligations
The
        Company does not have any indebtedness (current or long-term), material capital
        expenditures, balloon payments or other payments due on other long-term
        obligations. No negative covenants have been imposed on the
        Company.
Off-Balance
        Sheet Arrangements
The
        Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements
.

QUANTITATIVE
        AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There
        has
        been no significant change in the market risks faced by the Company since
        December 31,
2007
.
        For
        information regarding the Company's risks refer to the information under the
        caption ''Disclosure About Market Risk'' below and to the Company's Annual
        Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2007
.
10
Disclosure
      About Market Risk
Any
      market risk to which the Company would be exposed would result from fluctuations
      in: (a) interest rates and (b) currency exchange rates affecting the interest
      payments received by the Company in respect of the Mortgage Assets issued by
      NB
      Finance. Since the Mortgage Assets are significantly over collateralized by
      the
      Mortgage Loans, interest rate fluctuations should not present significant market
      risk. The Company expects that the interest and principal generated by the
      Mortgage Loans should enable full payment by NB Finance of all of its
      obligations as they come due. Since the Mortgage Loans are guaranteed by a
      fixed
      ratio of exchange predetermined on the date of purchase and applicable until
      the
      maturity of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Assignment
      Agreement, fluctuations in currency exchange rates should not present
      significant market risk.
