                     THACKERAY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                             March 31, 1998 and 1997

                                   (UNAUDITED)


1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the
         preparation of these unaudited interim financial statements are
         consistent with the accounting policies followed in the audited annual
         financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
         (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a
         fair presentation have been included.

         Certain information and footnote disclosures included in the audited
         financial statements have been omitted. For additional information,
         reference is made to the financial statements and notes thereto
         included in the Company's Annual Report to Stockholders for the year
         ended December 31, 1997.

         The net loss applicable to common stock for the three months ended
         March 31, 1998 and 1997 was divided by the number of shares outstanding
         during the period to determine per share data.

2.       TREASURY STOCK

         In March 1998, the Company cancelled the 1,080,000 shares of its common
         stock held in treasury, returning them to the status of authorized and
         unissued shares of the Company. Accordingly, the Company has eliminated
         its Treasury Stock in the amount of $9,990,000, and charged Common
         Stock and Capital in Excess of Par Value for $108,000 and $9,882,000,
         respectively.

3.       INCOME TAXES

         The Company anticipates it will generate a Federal taxable loss for the
         year ended December 31, 1998 and therefore it expects that no Federal
         income taxes will be payable for the year ending December 31, 1998. For
         the full year 1997, net operating loss carryforwards were in excess of
         Federal taxable income. Accordingly, no Federal income tax



                                        5
<PAGE>

         provisions have been made for the three month periods ended March 31,
         1998 and 1997.

4.       STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS

         There were no interest payments for the three months ended March 31,
         1998 and 1997.

         There were no income tax payments during the three months ended March
         31, 1998 and 1997.


Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
         -------------------------------------------------
                 Condition and Results of Operations
                 -----------------------------------

(1)      Material Changes in Financial Condition
         ---------------------------------------

                  The Company anticipates that its current cash balance will be
sufficient to fund its requirements for the foreseeable future.

                  At March 31, 1998 the Company had no material commitments for
capital expenditures.

(2)      Material Changes in Results of Operations
         -----------------------------------------

                  General and administrative expenses were $114,000 in the first
quarter 1998 versus $90,000 for the comparable period in 1997. The increase is
due to higher employee compensation costs.

                  Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was
$75,000, which was $11,000 higher than the amount for the three months ended
March 31, 1997. The increase results from the Company's maintaining higher cash
investment balances.
