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 March 31, are recorded as unearned rental
     income.

     CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
     -------------------------

     For the purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all
     highly liquid debt instruments purchases with a maturity of three months or
     less to be cash equivalents.

     ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
     -------------------------------

     Bad debts are provided for 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 for on the straight-line and accelerated
     methods.

     Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as
     incurred.  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 period.  Depreciation expense for the
     three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 was approximately $130,000 and
     $123,000, respectively.

     INCOME TAXES
     ------------

     Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the tax consequences on future
     years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities, and
     their financial reporting amounts, using enacted tax rates in effect for
     the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                            MARCH 31, 1998 AND 1997


     CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
     ----------------------------

     The Company places its cash and investments for its Replacement Fund (See
     Note 3) with a high quality credit institution.  At times such investments
     may be in excess of FDIC insured limits.

     INVESTMENTS
     -----------

     All investments in the replacement, painting and decorating fund (See Note
     3) are available for sale and are carried at fair values.

     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.

     RECLASSIFICATIONS
     -----------------

     Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform with current
     year classifications.
 
     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.

     IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
     -------------------------------
 
     In accordance with SFAS No. 121, "Accounting For the Impairment of Long-
     Lived Assets and For Long-Lived Assets To Be Disposed Of", the Company
     reviews it long-lived assets, including property and equipment, and
     intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in
     circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be
     fully recoverable.  To determine recoverability of its long-lived assets,
     the Company evaluates the probability that future undiscounted net cash
     flows will be less than the carrying amount of the assets.  Impairment
     costs, if any, are measured by comparing the carrying amount of the related
     assets to their fair value.

     Management believes that a valuation allowance is appropriate given the
     current estimates of future taxable income, as well as consideration of
     available tax planning strategies.  If the Company is unable to generate
     sufficient taxable income in the future through operating results,
     increases in the valuation allowance will be required through a charge to
     expense.  However, if the Company achieves profitability to utilize a
     greater portion of the deferred tax asset, the valuation allowance will be
     reduced through a credit to income.  The net change in valuation allowance
     for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was an increase of $31,000.

NOTE 8 -  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 Company. Such fee is reviewed and may be adjusted annually, effective
     July 1 of each year, by the DHCR.

     On October 17, 1997, the DHCR approved an increase in the management fee of
     2.44% effective July 1, 1997.

NOTE 9-  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.  The
     Company's contributions for this plan was approximately $18,000 for the
     three months ended March 31, 1998.

                                  (UNAUDITED)

Liquidity - As of March 31, 1998 the Registrant had a working capital deficit of
approximately $247,000 and was in arrears on its contributions to its special
fund for replacements, painting and decorating of approximately $111,000, as
discussed further in Note 10 to the financial statements.

On January 30, 1997, the Registrant entered into an extension and modification
agreement with it's Bank for the principal amount of $6,300,000 (see Note 4 to
the financial statements).  As a result of this mortgage extension and
modification agreement, the Registrant's annual debt service will be reduced by
approximately $155,000 per annum, effective as of March 1, 1997.

During April 1996, the Registrant received a two step rent increase which was
approved by the Division of Housing and Community Renewal.  The first increase
of approximately 5.5% was effective June 1, 1996.  The second increase of
approximately 5.3% was effective June 1, 1997.

Capital resources - The Registrant has set aside funds for capital improvements
and repairs amounting to approximately $227,767 as of March 31, 1998.

Results of operations - During the three months ended March 31, 1998, as
compared to the three  months ended March 31, 1997, total revenues increased by
approximately $119,000 or approximately 4.9%, due primarily to the rent increase
referred to above, partially offset by decreases in retroactive surcharges,
commercial rental income, interest income and other charges to tenants.

Operating expenses decreased by approximately $23,000 or approximately 1.0%
during the three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the three months
ended March 31, 1997.  This is primarily attributable to decreases in utilities,
depreciation and amortization, mortgage and other interest, offset by increases
in wages and related costs, maintenance, repairs and decorating expense, and
miscellaneous operating and general expenses.  Utilities decreased by
approximately $43,000 or approximately 9.6%, primarily due to reductions in fuel
oil prices and electrical consumption offset by increases in the City of New
York's frontage charges.  Depreciation and amortization expense decreased
approximately $12,000 or approximately 8.2%, due to the use of accelerated
depreciation methods and the fact that the majority of the fixed assets are in
the latter part of their useful lives.  Mortgage and other interest decreased by
approximately $8,000 or approximately 5.2%, primarily due to the refinancing of
the Company's mortgage debt (See Note 4 to the financial statements). Wages and
related costs increased by approximately $24,000 or approximately 4.2%,
primarily due to increases in union wage rates, union pension rates and related
payroll taxes.  Maintenance, repairs and decorating increased by $13,000 or
4.9%, primarily due to higher electrical, elevator and structural expenses,
offset by decreases in painting and heating expenses.  Miscellaneous operating
and general expenses increased by approximately $3,000 or approximately 0.8%,
primarily due to increases in legal fees, and security and protection expenses
offset by decreases in collection losses and insurance expenses. The provision
for income taxes increased by approximately $75,000 or approximately 375%,
primarily due to an increase in income before income taxes.
