           ----------------------

     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 September 30, 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 assets, 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
     nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 was approximately $396,000
     and $385,000, 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.

                          SEPTEMBER 30, 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 its 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.

          --------------

     agreement with The Greater New York Savings Bank, now known as Astoria
     Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank") for the principal amount of $6,300,000.

     On the maturity date, the Company may pay the remaining principal balance,
     or extend the term of the mortgage for an additional five (5) years.  The
     mortgage is collateralized by land, buildings and boilers.  The aggregate

                          SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 AND 1997


     Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
     between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial
     reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.  At
     September 30, 1998 the net deferred tax assets of $320,000 was included in
     the Company's balance sheet as follows:
 
        Deferred tax asset, net - Current                    $  80,000
        Deferred tax asset, net - Long term                    240,000

                                                             =========
 
     Significant components of the Company's net deferred tax asset at September
     30, 1998 is as follows:
 
        Tax effects of:
         Accounts receivable                                 $ 122,000
         Unearned rental income                                 38,000
         Buildings and building equipment                      480,000
                                                             ---------
        Gross deferred tax asset                               640,000
        Valuation allowance                                   (320,000)
                                                             ---------
        Net deferred tax asset                               $ 320,000
                                                             =========

     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 nine months ended September 30, 1998 was an increase of $50,000.

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 $53,000 and $54,000
     for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

     work and lead paint remediation work of approximately $425,000 in 1997 and
     1998.  Remaining costs of approximately $386,000 have been accrued in the
     financial statements as of September 30, 1998.  The costs of any additional
     asbestos abatement or lead paint remediation, if necessary, in excess of
     the amounts accrued at September 30, 1998, can not be determined at this
     time.

Liquidity - As of September 30, 1998 the Registrant had a working capital
deficit of approximately $312,000 and was in arrears on its contributions to its
special fund for replacements, painting and decorating of approximately
$180,000, as discussed further in Note 10 to the financial statements.

On January 30, 1997, the Registrant entered into an extension and modification
agreement with Astoria Federal Savings (formerly, The Greater New York Savings
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 DHCR.  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 $264,000 as of September 30, 1998.

Results of operations - During the nine months ended September 30, 1998, as
compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1997, total revenues increased
by approximately $141,000 or approximately 1.9%, due primarily to the rent
increase referred to above, offset by decreases in surcharges.

Operating expenses decreased by approximately $162,000 or approximately 2.2%
during the nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the nine months
ended September 30, 1997.  This is primarily attributable to decreases in
utilities and maintenance, repairs and decorating expense, offset by increases
in wages and related costs, real estate taxes and miscellaneous operating and
general expenses.  Utilities decreased by approximately $187,000 or
approximately 13.0% primarily due to the mild winter and low oil prices.
Maintenance, repairs and decorating decreased by approximately $86,000 or
approximately 10.0%, primarily due to decreases in plumbing and structural
repairs and painting.  Wages and related costs increased by approximately
$54,000 or approximately 3.2%, primarily due to increases in union wage rates,
union pension rates and related payroll taxes.  Real estate taxes increased by
approximately $26,000 or approximately 4.2% due to an increase in the property's
assessed value for tax years ended June 30, 1998 and 1999.  Miscellaneous
operating and general expense increased by approximately $41,000 or
approximately 3.6% due to the increases in social services and consultant fees
offset by decreases in collection losses, legal and other fees. The provision
for income taxes increased by approximately $207,000 or approximately 713.8%,
primarily due to an increase in income before taxes.

Year 2000

   The Year 2000 problem is the inability of a significant amount of the world's
computers, software applications and embedded semiconductor chips to cope with
the change of the year from 1999 to 2000.  As a result of this problem, systems
could fail to operate or fail to produce correct results at the start of the
21st century.

Assessment

   The Year 2000 problem affects computers, software, and other equipment used,
operated, or maintained by the Company for itself and its customers.
Accordingly, the Company is currently assessing the potential impact of, and the
costs of remediating, the Year 2000 problem for its internal systems and on
facilities systems and equipment.

   The Company is in the process of identifying the computers, software
applications, and related equipment used in connection with its operations that
must be modified, upgraded, or replaced to minimize the possibility of a
material disruption of its business.  The Company has commenced the process of
modifying, upgrading, and replacing systems which have already been assessed as
adversely affected by the Year 2000 problem, and expects to have all other major
systems assessed, and if need be, modified, before the occurrence of any
material disruption of its business.  The Company expects to complete this
process by the middle of 1999.

   In addition to computers and related systems, the operation of office and
facilities equipment, such as fax machines, copiers, telephone switches,
security systems and other common devices may be affected by the Year 2000
problem.  The Company is currently assessing the potential effect of, and costs
of remediating, the Year 2000 problem on its office and facilities systems and
equipment.

Impact of Year 2000 Problems

   Because the Company's assessment is not complete, the Company has not yet
estimated the total cost to the Company of completing any required
modifications, upgrades, or replacements of either the operational systems, or
facilities systems and equipment.

   The Company expects to identify and resolve all Year 2000 problems that could
materially adversely affect its business operations.  However, management
believes that it is not possible to determine with complete certainty that all
Year 2000 problems affecting the Company or its customers and suppliers have
been identified or corrected.  The number of devices that could be affected and
the interactions among these devices are simply too numerous.  In addition, no
one can accurately predict how many Year 2000 problem-related failures will
occur or the severity, duration, or financial consequences of these perhaps
inevitable failures.

Contingency Plans

   The Company will develop contingency plans, if necessary, to be implemented
if its efforts to identify and correct Year 2000 problems affecting its
operational systems and facilities systems and equipment are not effective.  The
Company expects to complete its contingency plans by the middle of 1999.
Depending on the systems affected, any contingency plans developed by the
Company, if implemented, should not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial condition and results of operations.


Disclaimer

   The discussion of the Company's efforts, and management's expectations
relating to Year 2000 compliance are forward-looking statements.  The Company's
ability to achieve Year 2000 compliance and the level of incremental costs
associated therewith, could be adversely impacted by, among other things, the
availability and cost of programming and testing resources, vendors' ability to
modify proprietary software, and unanticipated problems identified in the
ongoing compliance review.
