INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Lened, Inc.
c/o Joseph Flusfeder
15 West 53rd Street
New York, New York
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets, liabilities and
capital securities of Lened, Inc. (a New Jersey Corporation), as of
September 30, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of operations,
undistributed net income (loss) and statements of changes in net assets,
and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company'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. The investment securities held in custody were
confirmed to us by the custodian. 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 Lened, Inc.
as of September 30, 1996 and 199, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Lened, Inc. was incorporated in New Jersey on January 31, 1957. Lened,
Inc. commenced operations as an investment company investing at least
50% of the value of its total assets, determined at the close of each
quarter of its taxable year, in tax-exempt state and local obligations,
may distribute, as a tax-exempt dividend, to its shareholders an amount
equal to the interest earned on such tax-exempt obligations, provided it
designates such dividends as tax-exempt interest dividends. It is the
Company's intention to invest substantially all of its assets, except
such amounts as it may carry in demand deposits, in such tax-exempt
obligations and to distribute all of its net income, including any net
short-term capital gains, to its shareholders.
The Company is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, as a diversified, closed-end investment company.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed
by the Company in the preparation of its financial statements:
(a) Investments are valued by the Custodian. These values may not
necessarily be bids or actual last sale prices, but are
estimates of the fair value of the investment securities, based
upon prevailing interest rates, applicable bond ratings and
other factors influencing the markets in which the investments
are purchased and sold.
(b) It is the policy of the Company to continue to qualify as a
regulated investment company if such qualifications are in the
best interests of its shareholders, by complying with the
provisions available under the Internal Revenue Code, and to
make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it
from all, or substantially all, Federal income taxes.
Therefore, unless the Company has capital gains or interest on
Treasury Bills, no federal tax provision is required.

(c) Realized gains and losses on investments are computed on the
basis of the identified cost of the specific securities sold.
(d) Securities transactions are recorded on the date the securities
are purchased or sold (the trade date). Interest income (net of
premium or discount amortization) is recorded as earned.
(e) Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investments is stated
as the difference between amortized cost and fair market value.
At September 30, 1995

Unrealized Appreciation of Bonds totaled $30,483
Unrealized Depreciation of Bonds totaled (1,201)

the form of dividends.
NOTE 4 - CUSTODIAL FEES
Pursuant to an agreement with the custodian, the custodial fee is based
on the number of bond coupons redeemed based on an annual charge of
$1.25 per $1,000 of the first $500,000, $.75 per $1,000 of the next
$500,000 face value of bonds and $.50 per $1,000 face value above
$1,000,000. A charge of $15 is made for each security transaction.
