                      ATALANTA/SOSNOFF CAPITAL CORPORATION

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1:  Unaudited Information

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Atalanta/Sosnoff Capital Corporation (the "Holding Company") and its
direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, Atalanta/Sosnoff Capital
Corporation (Delaware) ("Capital"), Atalanta/Sosnoff Management Corporation
("Management"), and ASCC Corporation ("ASCC").

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 March 31, 2000, and the results of its operations for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 and 1999. 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, 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Information included in
the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1999 has been
derived from the audited consolidated financial statements appearing in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Note 2:  Investments, at Market

The Company records its investments in accordance with the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, with the exception
of investments held by Management. The Company has designated those investments
held by the Holding Company, Capital and ASCC in equity and debt securities as
"available for sale," and, accordingly, recorded at market value with the
related unrealized gains and losses net of deferred taxes reported as a separate
component of shareholders' equity. Investments held by Management are recorded
at market value, with the related unrealized gains and losses reflected in the
consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

Investments are recorded on trade date. The cost of investments sold is
determined on the first-in, first-out method. Dividends and interest are accrued
as earned. Securities listed on a securities exchange for which market
quotations are available are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the
last business day of the period. Investments in mutual funds are valued based
upon the net asset value of shares held as reported by the fund. Securities with
no reported sales on such date are valued at their last closing bid price.

Capital serves as a general partner for three Company-sponsored investment
partnerships (the "Partnerships") and as the investment manager for a
Company-sponsored offshore investment fund (the "Offshore Fund"). Investments in
limited partnerships are carried in the accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements at the Company's share of the net asset values as reported
by the respective Partnerships with the unrealized gain or loss recorded in the
consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (cont'd)


Note 3:  Non-Cash Compensation Charges ("NCCC")

NCCC of approximately $563,000 were charged to operations in both the first
quarter of 2000 and 1999. (See Note 4 below).

Note 4:  1996 Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP")

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 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 being
amortized over a four-year period which commenced with the fourth quarter of
1997 (approximately $563,000 per quarter and $2.25 million annually).

Note 5:  Senior Vice President Accounts

Certain high net worth accounts subject to the over-all supervision and control
of the Company are under the management of a Senior Vice President (the "SVP
Accounts"). Effective October 1, 1998, the Company entered into a new facilities
agreement with the SVP for the period ending December 31, 2000 under which the
SVP is relinquishing the revenues generated by the investment management and
brokerage services provided to the SVP Accounts to the Company.

Pursuant to this Agreement, the Company has or will make payments to the SVP in
three installments in January of 1999, 2000 and 2001 based upon a multiple of
annualized revenues of the SVP Accounts in the fourth quarter of 1998, 1999 and
2000, respectively. The Company estimates that the related compensation will
total approximately $3 million, based on the SVP Accounts' current asset value,
and will be recognized ratably as compensation expense over the term of the
arrangement.

Additionally, the SVP's compensation related to the pre-tax operating income
generated by the SVP Accounts has or will decline from 100% in the twelve-month
period ended September 30, 1998, to 50% in the comparable 1999 period, and to
25% in the comparable 2000 period. The SVP is required to remain an employee of
the Company through 2000, and may remain an employee or consultant thereafter.

Pursuant to this Agreement, in the first quarter of 2000 and 1999, $375,000 of
compensation expense was recorded.

Note 6:  Compensation Expense

Pursuant to an agreement, the President of the Company earns a bonus based upon
the pre-tax operating profits earned by the Company as general partner of the
hedge fund managed by the President. Included in compensation expense related to
this bonus were $300,000 and $13,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000
and 1999, respectively.

In addition, under the Company's Management Incentive Plan, an annual bonus is
earned by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) based upon the pre-tax earnings of
certain managed assets of the

                                       8

<PAGE>

Company in excess of a base indexed return, as defined, subject to a ceiling of
10% of total pre-tax income. Included in compensation expense related to the MIP
are accrued bonuses to the CEO totaling $100,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2000.

Note 7:  Treasury Stock

In January and February 2000, the Company purchased 6,500 and 5,000 shares,
respectively, of its common stock at an average market price of $8.98 per share.


Note 8:  Net Income Per Share

Basic earnings per share amounts were computed based on 9,066,270 and 9,338,401
weighted average common shares outstanding in the first quarters of 2000 and
1999, respectively. For purposes of determining weighted average common shares
outstanding, the Company considers all shares legally issued and outstanding in
determining basic and diluted net income per share.

Diluted earnings per share amounts were computed based on 9,075,306 and
9,345,123 weighted average common shares outstanding in the first quarters of
2000 and 1999, respectively. The shares outstanding have been adjusted to
reflect the impact of in the money options, using the Treasury Stock method.

See Exhibit 11 for further details on the computation of net income per share.

Note 9:  Income Taxes

The Company records income taxes in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No.
109. Accordingly, deferred taxes are provided to reflect temporary differences
between the recognition of income and expense for financial reporting and tax
purposes.

         compared with $4.4 million at December 31, 1999. Investments (at
         market) totaled $81.2 million at March 31, 2000, compared with $93.6
         million at the end of 1999. Unrealized gains on investments, net of
         deferred taxes, totaled $5.6 million at March 31, 2000, compared with
         $10.2 million at December 31, 1999.

         Assets under management at March 31, 2000 totaled $2.69 billion, 8%
         more than a year ago, and approximately the same as year-end 1999. The
         strong positive performance results of $430 million more than offset
         net client withdrawals of $220 million for the twelve months ended
         March 31, 2000. The net client withdrawals are primarily the result of
         plan reallocations and the indexing of funds.

         Net income totaled $7.4 million ($.82 per common share diluted) for the
         three months ended March 31, 2000, compared with $2.9 million ($.31 per
         common share diluted) for the same period in 1999.

   II.   Assets Under Management

         Assets under management totaled $2.69 billion at March 31, 2000 and
         December 31, 1999, and $2.48 billion on March 31, 1999. Average assets
         under management increased 6% to $2.63 billion in the first quarter of
         2000, compared with $2.47 billion in the comparable period a year ago.
         In addition, average managed assets increased 8% compared with the
         fourth quarter of 1999.

         During the first quarter of 2000, new accounts totaled $63 million, net
         withdrawals out of client accounts totaled $69 million, and performance
         added $9 million to managed assets.

         In the twelve months ended March 31, 2000, new accounts totaled $107
         million, net withdrawals out of client accounts totaled $327 million,
         and performance added $430 million to managed assets.

         Performance over the last twenty-seven months was strong on an absolute
         and relative basis, and the Company's peer group rankings continue to
         improve.

III.     Results of Operations

         Quarterly Comparison

         Total revenues for the first quarter of 2000 increased 97% to $17.5
         million, from $8.9 million in the first quarter of 1999. Revenue from
         advisory fees and commissions ("operating revenue") increased 44% to
         $6.1 million in 2000, as compared with $4.2 million in 1999.

         Expenses for the first quarter of 2000 increased 24% to $4.7 million,
         from $3.8 million in the first quarter of 1999. The increase is
         primarily due to accrued bonus compensation of $400,000 related to the
         Company's Management Incentive Plan ("MIP Expense" - see Note 6).
         Non-cash compensation charges of $563,000 ("NCCC" - see Note 3) and
         payments of $375,000 to a senior officer under a revised facilities
         agreement involving certain managed accounts (the "SVP Accounts" - see
         Note 5) are also included in both the first quarter of 2000 and 1999,
         respectively.

         After eliminating these charges, pre-tax income from operations was
         $2.7 million and $1.4 million for the first quarter of 2000 and 1999,
         respectively.

         Total revenues from principal securities transactions and net interest
         and dividend income was $11.5 million for the first quarter of 2000,
         which is a 144% increase from the $4.7 million recorded in the first
         quarter of 1999. The net realized and unrealized gains from principal
         securities transactions were $8.1 million and $3.2 million,
         respectively, for the first quarter of 2000 as compared to the realized
         and unrealized gains of $3.1 million and the $1.4 million,
         respectively, for the first quarter of 1999.

         The following table depicts variances in significant income statement
         items for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared with the same
         period in 1999. Explanations of the variances follow the table.

</TABLE>

o    The 45% increase in advisory fees is due to the 6% increase in average
     assets under management previously discussed, and an increase in fees
     earned from a Company sponsored investment partnership of approximately
     $1.2 million in 2000, compared with $30,000 in 1999.

o    Realized and unrealized gains from principal securities transactions
     increased 148% from the 1999 comparable period due to increases in net
     realized and unrealized gains on investments, as previously discussed.

o    The increase in employees' compensation is the result of an accrued bonus
     of $400,000 earned under the Company's Management Incentive Plan in the
     2000 quarter, compared with $13,000 in the comparable 1999 period.
     Excluding these charges, compensation expense increased 7% in the first
     quarter of 2000 compared with the first quarter of 1999.

o    Non-compensation expenses increased 35% for the three months ended March
     31, 2000 as compared to the 1999 quarter. The increase was primarily
     related to certain professional service charges and an increase in clearing
     and execution costs from increased commission revenues.

o    Income taxes in 2000 increased 144% due to a comparable increase in pre-tax
     income.

IV.      Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Investments in marketable securities aggregated $81.2 million at March
         31, 2000, compared with $93.6 million at the end of 1999. During the
         first quarter of 2000, the Company invested an additional $1 million in
         investment partnerships. Shareholders' equity totaled $105.0 million at
         March 31, 2000, compared with $101.8 million at the end of 1999,
         primarily from net income of $7.4 million recorded in the first three
         months of 2000 and unrealized losses (net of deferred taxes) of $4.6
         million in the investment portfolio. The Company had a net unrealized
         gain of $5.6 million in shareholders' equity at March 31, 2000,
         compared with $10.2 million at December 31, 1999.

         At March 31, 2000, the Company's investment portfolio at market totaled
         $103.8 million (cost basis $74.8 million), compared with $115.5 million
         (cost $83.6 million) at the end of 1999, comprised of cash and cash
         equivalents, corporate and convertible debt, large-cap equity
         securities, and investments in limited partnerships and the
         Atalanta/Sosnoff Mutual Funds. At March 31, 2000, the Company was
         invested in 15 separate large-cap securities, in a more concentrated
         fashion of what it does for its managed client accounts. The largest
         position was in Computer Associates, Inc. (5.3% of the portfolio), with
         an unrealized loss of $202,000 at quarter-end.

         At March 31, 2000 the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1.7
         million, compared with $4.4 million at the end of 1999. Operating
         activities generated net cash outflows of $6.6 million in the three
         months ended March 31, 2000, compared with $268,000 of outflows in the
         same period in 1999, reflecting the changing levels of operating income
         and net income over those periods. Net cash provided by investing
         activities totaled $4.0 million in the first quarter 2000, compared
         with $228,000 of net cash outflows in the 1999 quarter. The increase in
         2000 was primarily the result of net proceeds from sales of
         investments. Net cash outflows from financing activities was $103,000
         in the first quarter of 2000.

         If the equity market (defined as the S&P 500 index) were to decline by
         10%, the Company might experience unrealized losses of approximately
         $10 million; if the market were to decline by 20%, the Company might
         experience unrealized losses of $20 million. However, incurring
         unrealized losses of this magnitude is unlikely with active management
         of the portfolio. Since the positions are primarily large-cap holdings,
         they can be sold easily on short notice with little market impact.
         Ultimately, the Company will raise and hold cash to reduce market risk.

         In January and February 2000, the Company purchased 6,500 and 5,000
         shares, respectively, of its common stock, at an average market price
         of $8.98 per share.

         At March 31, 2000, there were no liabilities for borrowed money.


V.       Year 2000

         The Company has conducted a full assessment of its information
         technology systems and imbedded technology and has determined that they
         are Y2K compliant (i.e., that they recognize and specify dates to
         properly function in the year 2000 and thereafter). The remediation and
         testing of all critical systems and point-to-point testing with the
         systems of third parties with which our existing systems interface has
         been successfully completed. In conjunction with its Y2K readiness
         process, the Company replaced its two core critical systems, trading
         and portfolio accounting, with off-the-shelf commercial software
         packages during 1999. To date, all of the Company's systems are
         operating properly in 2000. The Company's Y2K costs were not material
         through December 31, 1999 and it does not expect to incur any material
         costs during 2000.
