             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1:           UNAUDITED INFORMATION
                  ---------------------

         The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include

its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, Atalanta/Sosnoff Capital
Corporation (Delaware) ("Capital"), and Atalanta/Sosnoff Management
Corporation ("Management").

         In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (which include only
normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Company's financial
position as of June 30, 1998, and the results of its operations for the three
and six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997. Certain information normally
included in the financial statements and related notes prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles has been condensed or omitted.
These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto appearing in the Company's December 31, 1997 Annual Report on Form
10-K. Information included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 1997 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial
statements appearing in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Note 2:           NON-CASH COMPENSATION EXPENSE ("NCCE")
                  --------------------------------------

NCCE of approximately $563,000 was charged to operations in the second quarter

the LTIP. Such awards vest over four years. The difference of $9.0 million
between market value ($11.625 per share) on the date of grant and the purchase
price was recorded as unearned compensation in shareholders' equity and is

quarter of 1997 (approximately $563,000 per quarter and $2.25 million
annually).

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

         Primary earnings per share amounts were computed based on 9,587,401
and 8,812,401 weighted average common shares outstanding in the second
quarters of 1998 and 1997, respectively, as well as in each of the first six
months of 1998 and 1997, respectively.

         Diluted earnings per share amounts were computed based on 9,609,520
and 8,829,789 weighted average common shares outstanding in the second
quarters of 1998 and 1997, respectively, and 9,608,178 and 8,828,541 weighted
average common shares outstanding in the first six months of 1998 and 1997,
respectively. The shares outstanding have been adjusted to reflect the impact

Part I.  Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations 
                  and Financial Condition.

I.       GENERAL
         -------

         Total assets total $87.1 million at June 30, 1998, compared with
         $75.4 million at December 31, 1997, and book value per share totaled
         $8.37 at June 30, 1998, compared with $7.36 at December 31, 1997.

         Cash and cash equivalents totaled $5.1 million at June 30, 1998,
         compared with $3.8 million at December 31, 1997. Investments (at
         market) totaled $71.7 million at June 30, 1998, compared with $63.0
         million at the end of 1997. Unrealized gains on investments, net of
         deferred taxes, totaled $6.2 million at June 30, 1998, compared with
         $1.3 million at December 31, 1997.

         Owing to the loss of sizeable institutional accounts in 1997 and
         1998, and some withdrawals from existing accounts, partially offset
         by strong performance results in equity accounts over the last year,
         assets under management at June 30, 1998 totaled $2.22 billion, 23%
         less than a year ago, and 17% below year-end 1997. Account losses
         have been the result of below market performance for equity accounts
         in 1996 and 1997.

         Net income totaled $1.9 million ($.20 per share diluted) for the
         three months ended June 30, 1998, compared with $3.6 million ($.41
         per share diluted) for the same period in 1997. Before non-cash
         compensation charges of $563,000, net income totaled $.23 per share
         diluted in the 1998 quarter. Income from money management operations
         before taxes ("operating income") decreased 37% to $1.1 million,
         compared with $1.7 million in the 1997 quarter. Excluding non-cash
         compensation charges, operating income declined 4% in the 1998
         quarter. Other income decreased 55% during the same period.

         Net income totaled $3.7 million ($.38 per share diluted) for the six
         months ended June 30, 1998, compared with $5.8 million ($.66 per
         share diluted) for the same period in 1997. Before non-cash
         compensation charges of $1.13 million, net income totaled $.45 per
         share diluted in the first half of 1998. Operating income decreased
         42% to $2.1 million in the 1998 period, compared with $3.7 million in
         the first half of 1997. Excluding non-cash compensation charges,
         operating income declined 12% in the 1998 period. Other income
         decreased 38% during the same period.

         The Company's second largest account ($311 million in managed assets)
         terminated at the end of May. This account generated 3.8% of
         operating revenues in 1997. While total operating revenues may
         decline in 1998, the Company intends to continue to keep operating
         expenses under close control.

II.      ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT
         -----------------------

         Assets under management totaled $2.22 billion at June 30, 1998,
         compared with $2.70 billion on March 31, 1998, $2.68 billion on
         December 31, 1997, and $2.87 billion on June 30, 1997.

         During the second quarter of 1998, new accounts totaled $8 million,
         net withdrawals out of client accounts totaled $609 million, and
         performance increased client account balances by $122 million.

         For the six months ended June 30, 1998, new accounts totaled $10
         million, net withdrawals out of client accounts totaled $888 million,
         and performance increased client account balances by $417
         million.



                                      11
<PAGE>


         In the twelve months ended June 30, 1998, new accounts totaled $14
         million, net withdrawals out of client accounts totaled $1,233
         million, and performance added $575 million to managed assets.

III.     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
         ---------------------

         QUARTERLY COMPARISON
         --------------------

         In the second quarter of 1998 operating revenues totaled $4.5
         million, compared with $4.5 million a year ago. Average managed
         assets totaled $2.54 billion in the 1998 quarter, or 8% less than the
         $2.75 billion average in the second quarter of 1997, and 5% below the
         $2.67 billion average in the first quarter of 1998.

         Owing to the non-cash compensation charges of $563,000, operating
         expenses increased 23% to $3.4 million, compared with $2.8 million a
         year ago. Before these charges, operating expenses totaled $2.9
         million, or a 3% increase over 1997. As a result, operating income
         before non-cash compensation charges declined 4% to $1.6 million (36%
         margin), compared with $1.7 million (38% margin) in the 1997 quarter.
         Reported operating income declined 37% to total $1.1 million in the
         1998 quarter.

         Operating income totaled 33% of pre-tax income in the second quarter
         of 1998, compared with 26% in the 1997 quarter. Other income totaled
         $2.2 million in the 1998 quarter, which included $1.8 million in net
         realized and unrealized capital gains. Other income totaled $4.9
         million for the same period a year ago, reflecting net realized and
         unrealized capital gains of $4.4 million.

         The following table depicts variances in significant income statement

         o    The increase in advisory fees is due to an increase in the
              weighted fee yield, partially offset by the decline in average
              assets under management previously discussed.

         o    The increase in employees' compensation is the result of $563,000
              in non-cash compensation charges recorded in the 1998 quarter,
              compared with none in the 1997 quarter. Excluding this charge,
              compensation expense increased 1%.

         o     Non-compensation expenses increased from a year ago due to
               one-time increases in various professional fees.

         o    Other income decreased due to a 60% decrease in net realized and
              unrealized capital gains, and an 18% decrease in interest and
              dividend income.

         o    Income taxes decreased due to the 51% decline in pre-tax income.

         SIX MONTH COMPARISON
         --------------------

         In the first six months of 1998 operating revenues decreased 3% to
         $9.0 million, compared with $9.3 million in the 1997 period. Average
         managed assets totaled $2.59 billion in the first half of 1998, or 7%
         less than the $2.79 billion average in the first six months of 1997.

         Owing to the non-cash compensation charges of $1.13 million,
         operating expenses increased 22% to $6.8 million, compared with $5.6
         million a year ago. Before these charges, operating expenses totaled
         $5.7 million, or a 2% increase over 1997. As a result, operating
         income before non-cash compensation charges declined 12% to $3.3
         million (36% margin), compared with $3.7 million (40% margin) in the
         1997 period. Reported operating income declined 42% to total $2.1
         million in the 1998 period.

         Operating income totaled 33% of pre-tax income in the first half of
         1998, compared with 35% in the 1997 period. Other income totaled $4.3
         million in the 1998 period, which included $3.4 million in net
         realized and unrealized capital gains. Other income totaled $7.0
         million for the same period a year ago, reflecting net realized and
         unrealized capital gains of $5.0 million.

         o   Other income decreased due to a 32% decrease in net realized
             and unrealized capital gains, and a 53% decline in interest and
             dividend income (primarily due to a special dividend received in
             1997).

         o   Income taxes decreased due to the 39% decline in pre-tax income.

IV.      LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
         -------------------------------

         At June 30, 1998 the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $5.1
         million, compared with $3.8 million at the end of 1997. Operating
         activities provided net cash inflows of $876,000 in the six months
         ended June 30, 1998, compared with $2.2 million in the same period in
         1997. This reflects the changing levels of operating income and net
         income over those periods. Net cash provided by investing activities
         totaled $390,000 in the 1998 period, compared with $8.1 million in
         the similar 1997 period.

         Investments in marketable securities aggregated $71.7 million at June
         30, 1998, compared with $63.0 million at the end of 1997.
         Shareholders' equity totaled $80.2 million at June 30, 1998, compared
         with $70.6 million at the end of 1997, primarily due to net income of
         $3.7 million recorded in the first six months of 1998, and the net
         unrealized gain of $6.2 million in shareholders' equity at June 30,
         1998, compared with $1.3 million at the end of 1997. At June 30,
         1998, the Company had no liabilities for borrowed money.

         In September, 1997, the Company awarded 775,000 shares of restricted
         stock at the issue price of $.01 per share to two senior executives
         under the terms of the LTIP. Such awards vest over four years. The
         difference of $9.0 million between the market value ($11.625 per
         share) of the shares awarded on the date of grant and the purchase
         price of $.01 per share was recorded as unearned compensation in
         shareholders' equity and is being amortized over a four-year period
         which commenced with the fourth quarter of 1997.

         The Company believes that the foreseeable capital and liquidity
         requirements of its existing businesses will continue to be met with
         funds generated from operations.
