NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

The June 30, 1997 financial statements for the City Investing Company
Liquidating Trust (the "Trust") are unaudited and subject to year-end
adjustments. In the opinion of the Trustees, the interim financial statements
reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
position and income and expenses of the Trust as prepared on a Federal income
tax basis. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results
for the full year.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis of
accounting used for Federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, certain revenue
and the related assets are recognized when received rather than when earned; and
certain expenses are recognized when paid rather than when the obligation is
incurred.

NOTE 3 - LOSSES ON DISPOSITIONS OF ASSETS

Losses on dispositions of assets, net, include settlement costs and legal fees
attributable to the disposition of assets incurred in connection with the
defense of litigation against the Trust.

NOTE 4 - TRUST AGREEMENT

In accordance with the Trust Agreement, the Trust has assumed the obligation to
make payments, where required, to discharge all litigation and other contingent
liabilities of City Investing Company ("City") which existed on September 25,
1985.

NOTE 8 - REAL ESTATE

Prior to January 2, 1990, the Trust held an undivided interest in a July 22,
1983 note received from Texas City Investment Company ("Texas City") in
connection with a sale of land located in Galveston County, Texas. Texas City
failed to fully pay the note in accordance with its terms. On January 2, 1990,
the beneficial owners of the note (including the Trust) foreclosed on the
property securing the note and the Trust now holds an undivided interest in the
property. The Trust's interest in the property is classified as real estate in
the accompanying financial statements and valued at the January 2, 1990 fair
market value of $4,675, less $47, the carrying value of two parcels sold on
April 15, 1996.

NOTE 9 - CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

In accordance with the Trust Agreement, the Trust has assumed the obligation to
make payments, where required, to discharge all litigation and other contingent
liabilities of City which existed at September 25, 1985. The Trust may have a
contingent liability with respect to certain issues raised by the Internal
Revenue Service upon audit of tax returns of City Investing Company filed with
respect to periods ending on or before September 25, 1985. These issues, if
resolved unfavorably to City, would result in a substantial liability. As other
parties are primarily and jointly responsible for this contingent liability, the
Trust is unable to estimate the ultimate cost, if any, of its exposure. The
Trust also remains subject to possible claims by the United States Environmental
Protection Agency and other third parties.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

                                ($ IN THOUSANDS)

NOTE 10 - DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS

The existence of the contingent liabilities referred to in Note 9 may affect the
timing of future distributions of Trust assets. In connection with the
proceeding entitled Rolo and Tenerelli v. City Investing Company Liquidating
Trust, et al., the Trust is unable to make any dividend payments or liquidating
distributions without further judicial action.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

It is difficult to compare amounts in comparable periods, as the financial
statements of the Trust are prepared on the basis of accounting used for Federal
income tax purposes; that is, amounts are reflected in the financial statements
when amounts are received or paid. The Trust recorded net income of $828 ($0.02
per unit) in the second quarter of 1997 and net income of $1,166 ($0.03 per
unit) in the six-month period ended June 30, 1997, compared with net income of
$778 ($0.02 per unit) and net income of $2,368 ($0.06 per unit) in the
corresponding 1996 periods. The losses on dispositions of assets of $2 and $96
in the second quarter and six-month periods of 1997 principally consist of legal
fees incurred in connection with litigation. In the second quarter and six-month
1996 periods, gains on disposition of assets of $23 and $17 were attributable to
the sale of approximately two per cent of the Trust's real estate, net of legal
fees incurred in connection with litigation. Interest, dividend and other
income, principally consisting of interest earned on the investment of cash
equivalents and investment securities, was $891 and $1,395 in the second quarter
and six months ended June 30, 1997, and $841 and $2,517 in the corresponding
1996 periods. The decrease in the six-month period of 1997 compared to 1996 was
due primarily to the timing of the recognition of interest income.
Administrative expenses were $61 and $133 for the second quarter and six months
of 1997, compared with $86 and $166 for the comparable 1996 periods. The primary
reason that 1997 administrative expenses were less than 1996 is that there was a
reduction in legal costs and registrar fees as well as costs of administration
of the Trust.

At June 30, 1997, the Trust had cash and cash equivalents, investment securities
and restricted funds of $61,433. The Trustees believe that such cash resources
and investment securities are sufficient to meet all anticipated liquidity
requirements.
