NOTE 1 -  CORPORATE ORGANIZATION
          ----------------------
 
          Knickerbocker Village, Inc. (the Company), is a public limited
          dividend housing company formed, pursuant to the Housing Laws of the
          State of New York, on September 5, 1933. The Company is regulated by
          the Division of Housing and Community Renewal (DHCR), a New York State
          regulatory agency. The Company is located in lower Manhattan and
          operates approximately 1,600 rental units ranging in size from studios
          through three bedroom apartments. The Company requires one (1) month's
          rent as a security deposit on all apartments.

NOTE 2 -  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
          -------------------------------------------        
 
          REVENUE RECOGNITION
          -------------------        
 
          The Company recognizes revenue in the accounting period that
          corresponds to the month for which rental income is billed. Rents
          received but not recognized as revenue as of June 30, are recorded as
          unearned rental income.
          
          ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
          -------------------------------
 
          Bad debts are provided on the allowance method based on historical
          experience and management's evaluation of outstanding rents 
          receivable.
          
          FIXED ASSETS
          ------------
 
          Fixed assets consists primarily of building improvements and equipment
          and are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided for financial
          statement purposes on the straight-line method, over the estimated
          useful lives, of the fixed asset, which range from 5 to 30 years. For
          federal income tax purposes, depreciation is provided on the straight-
          line and accelerated methods. 
 
          Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as
          incurred (See Note 9). Upon sale or retirement of property, the cost
          and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts
          and any gain or loss is reflected in operations for the year.
          Depreciation expense for the periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 was
          approximately $203,000 and $200,000 respectively.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                            JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995



NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES, continued
         -------------------------------------------------------
        
         INCOME TAXES
         ------------
        
         Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the
         difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and
         liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which
         the differences are expected to reverse.
        
         CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
         ----------------------------                           
        
         The Company places its cash and investments for its Replacement Fund
         (See Note 3) with a high credit quality institution. At times such
         investments may be in excess of FDIC insured limits.
        
         RECLASSIFICATIONS
         -----------------          
        
         Certain 1995 amounts have been reclassified for purposes of comparison
         with the 1996 presentation.
          
         ESTIMATES
         ---------                  
 
         The preparation of 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.

         FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
         -----------------------------------

         The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair
         value of each class of financial instruments:

         1.  Cash and cash equivalents - The carrying amounts approximate
             fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

         2.  Investments - Fair value approximates quoted market value.

         3.  Receivables - The carrying amount approximates fair value
             because of the short maturity of these instruments.

         4.  Debt - The carrying amounts approximate fair value based on
             borrowing rates currently available to the Company for bank loans
             with similar terms.

                                                $ 157,905
                                                =========
 
NOTE 4 -  LONG-TERM DEBT
          --------------                                             
 
          Long-term debt represents a mortgage payable to the Greater New York
          Savings Bank, collateralized by land, buildings and boiler, due July
          1, 1997. Monthly payments inclusive of interest at 10% per annum are
          $63,642 and the balance of the principal is due on July 1, 1997.
          Principal payments due on this mortgage for the next two years are
          approximately $79,000 (1996-six months) and $6,008,000 (1997).
 
NOTE 5 -  DIVIDENDS PAYABLE AND CAPITAL STOCK
          -----------------------------------                  
 
          The holders of the Company's capital stock cannot at any time receive,
          in repayment of their investment, any sums in excess of the par value
          of the stock together with cumulative dividends at the rate of 6% of
          par value per annum (without interest). Any surplus in excess of such
          amounts upon dissolution reverts to the public authorities. Cumulative
          dividends unpaid to June 30, 1996 amounted to $523,132 or
          approximately $3.55 per share. Dividends amounting to $19,023 were
          declared during 1979, but were not paid as of June 30, 1996. Such 
          dividends were approved by the DHCR. No dividends were declared or
          paid in 1996 or 1995.

NOTE 6 -  INCOME TAXES
          ------------                                       
 
          Deferred tax assets are due primarily to the different methods of
          depreciation of fixed assets and write-offs for accounts receivable
          used for financial reporting and tax reporting purposes. Valuation
          allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax
          assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is
          the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change
          during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.          
             
          Net deferred tax assets in the accompanying balance sheets are as
          follows:
 
                                                               June 30, 1996
                                                               -------------
 
          Total Deferred Tax Asset                             $     487,000   
          Less:  Valuation Allowance                                 353,000
                                                               -------------
 
          Net Deferred Tax Asset                               $     134,000
                                                               =============

          There has been no change in the allowance as of June 30, 1996.
 
NOTE 7 -  MANAGEMENT FEE
          --------------

          The management fee, set by DHCR, was paid to Cherry Green Property
          Corp. (Cherry Green), the owner of approximately 95% of the
          outstanding shares of the Registrant.  Such fee is reviewed and
          adjusted annually effective July 1 of each year, by the DHCR.

          On March 8, 1996 the DHCR approved a 2.3% increase in the management
          fee effective July 1, 1995.

NOTE 8 -  PENSION PLAN
          ------------

          Certain employees of the Company are covered under a union sponsored,
          multi-employer defined benefit pension plan. This plan is not
          administered by the Company and contributions are determined by the
          union. Contributions for this plan were approximately $35,000 and
          $22,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

                            JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995



NOTE 9 -  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
          -----------------------------
 
          As of June 30, 1996, the Company was in arrears on its contributions
          as required by DHCR to its' special fund for replacements, painting
          and decorating in the amount of approximately $886,000 (Note 3).

          The Company has future commitments for expenditures relating to lead
          paint remediation and asbestos abatement of approximately $400,000 for
          the years ending December 31, 1996 and 1997. Costs of any additional
          expenditures relating to the Company's buildings, if necessary, cannot
          be determined at this time. No costs have been accrued in the
          financial statements as of June 30, 1996.
          
NOTE 10 - DEPARTURE FROM GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
          -------------------------------------------------------
 
          The Company has a policy of expensing appliances as they are
          purchased, rather than capitalizing these fixed assets to conform with
          generally accepted accounting principles. Management's experience has
          indicated that the normal useful life of such appliances (including
          refrigerators and stoves) were considerably shorter. This departure
          from generally accepted accounting principles had no effect on net
          income (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.
 
NOTE 11 - RENTAL INCOME
          -------------                                       
 
          During April, 1996 the Company received a two step rent increase which
          was approved by DHCR. The first increase of approximately 5.5% was
          effective June 1, 1996 and the second increase of approximately 5.3%
          will be effective June 1, 1997.
