(a) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF BUSINESSES ACQUIRED



                         Report of Independent Auditors

To the Owners
Douglas Elliman Brokerage

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Douglas Elliman Brokerage (a
division of Douglas Elliman, a New York general partnership) (the "Division")
as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related statements of operations,
owners' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Division's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Division at December 31,
1998 and 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Douglas Elliman is a New York general partnership (the "Partnership") which
provides residential and commercial leasing and brokerage services and related
services predominantly in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial statements represent the accounts of the residential
brokerage division of Douglas Elliman ("Douglas Elliman Brokerage" or the
"Division"), which was sold to Insignia Financial Group, Inc. on June 23, 1999.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation, including depreciation of assets subject to capital leases, is
computed over the useful lives of the assets which range from 5 to 7 years.
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the remaining life of the lease.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Non-compete agreements are amortized on a straight line basis over the six year
terms of the associated agreements. Goodwill is amortized on a straight line
basis over an estimated life of fifteen years.


<PAGE>



1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
   (CONTINUED)

INTANGIBLE ASSETS (CONTINUED)

Contingent payments made in connection with acquired businesses are generally
charged to operations as such payments relate to ongoing services provided by
the sellers of such acquired businesses.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Leasing commission revenues are recognized when the leases are executed and all
significant contingencies have been satisfied. Brokerage commissions on sales
transactions are recognized upon closing of the associated sales transactions.

Leasing commissions receivable beyond one year have been discounted to their
present value. An allowance for doubtful accounts has been provided for
possible uncollectable amounts.

Leasing commissions payable are generally paid to brokers when the related
receivable is collected. Amounts payable beyond one year have been discounted
to their present value.

RENT EXPENSE

The Division accounts for leases pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards
Board Statement No. 13 which requires the recognition of deferred rent
concessions and stated increases in rent on a straight-line basis over the
lease term. Accordingly, rent expense for the period ended June 23, 1999, the
six months ended June 30, 1998, and the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997
differed by approximately ($5,000) (unaudited), $105,000 (unaudited), $82,000
and $159,000, respectively, as compared to amounts due pursuant to the
underlying leases.

INCOME TAXES

Douglas Elliman Brokerage is a division of a partnership; accordingly the
accompanying financial statements do not include a provision for state and
federal income taxes since, pursuant to provisions of the Internal Revenue Code,
each item of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit is allocated to and
reportable by the partners of the partnership.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Division considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three
months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

2. INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The accompanying unaudited financial statements as of and for the period ended
June 23, 1999 and the six months ended June 30, 1998 have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for
a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the period ended
June 23, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ended December 31, 1999.

(b) PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION


        UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The following Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Income for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and for the year ended December
31, 1998, give effect to the acquisitions of Douglas Elliman and St. Quintin
Holdings Limited ("St. Quintin") and related borrowings under Insignia's
revolving credit facility, as if effected at January 1, 1998.

     Douglas Elliman, a residential real estate brokerage firm located in New
York City, was acquired by Insignia on June 23, 1999. Douglas Elliman commands
the number one market position for both residential sales and rentals in New
York City, according to the annual ranking of residential brokerage companies
nation-wide published by Real Trends. The base purchase price was approximately
$65 million paid in cash from borrowings under Insignia's revolving credit
facility. Additional purchase consideration of up to $10 million over the next
five years is contingent on the future performance of Douglas Elliman.

     St. Quintin, a British real estate services firm headquartered in London,
was acquired by Insignia on March 5, 1999. The operations of St. Quintin have
been merged with the existing operations of Richard Ellis Group Limited
("REGL"). The combined entities now operate under the name Richard Ellis St.
Quintin ("RESQ") throughout the United Kingdom. The base purchase price paid
for St. Quintin was approximately $32 million. Additional purchase
consideration of up to approximately $12 million is contingent on the future
performance of St. Quintin. The purchase was funded with approximately $24.3
million in borrowings under Insignia's revolving credit facility, the issuance
of 305,981 shares of Insignia common stock and assumed options to purchase up
to 611,962 shares of Insignia common stock.

     The pro forma statements have been prepared by management of Insignia and
are based on the historical financial statements of Insignia, Douglas Elliman
and St. Quintin, giving effect to the transactions under the purchase method of
accounting and to the assumptions and adjustments in the accompanying Notes to
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. These pro
forma statements may not be indicative of the actual results that may have
occurred if the combinations had been in effect on the dates indicated or which
may be experienced in the future. These pro forma statements should be read in

</TABLE>


NOTE 1

     The statement of income of Insignia for the six months ended June 30, 1999
includes operating results for St. Quintin and Douglas Elliman for the
respective periods of ownership. The statements of income for St. Quintin and
Douglas Elliman for the six months ended June 30, 1999 represent historical
operating results for the periods prior to acquisition.

NOTE 2

     The financial statements of St. Quintin have been translated from British
Pounds to Dollars using the following exchange rates: $1.6194 for the statement
of income for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and $1.6641 for the statement
of income for year ended December 31, 1998. These exchange rates have been
determined based on the estimated average rate for each period.

NOTE 3

     The acquisition and subsequent operational merger with REGL is expected to
achieve significant operating synergies due primarily to accommodation savings
from subleased excess office space of REGL, and to a lesser extent, the
elimination of duplicated overhead costs. These synergies, which are not
reflected in the pro forma results presented, are estimated at more than $3
million annually.

NOTE 4

     Certain items in this report may constitute forward-looking statements
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and
as such may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors
which may cause these pro forma financial statements to be materially different
from future results or achievements expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. You can identify such statements by the fact that
they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Actual results will
be affected by a variety of risks and factors, including, without limitation,
economic conditions, real estate risks and financing risks.

     All such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this
report. Insignia expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to
release publicly any updates of revisions to any forward-looking statements
contained herein to reflect any change in Insignia's expectations with
regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which
any such statement is based.
