                        INTERSTATE GENERAL COMPANY L.P.
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 JUNE 30, 1996
                                  (Unaudited)



(1)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF ACCOUNTING

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited but
include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which the
Company's management considers necessary for a fair presentation of the results
of operations for the interim periods.  Certain account balances in the 1995
financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 1996
presentation.  The operating results for the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year.  Net income per unit is calculated based on weighted
average units outstanding.  Outstanding options and warrants to purchase Units
do not have a material dilutive effect on the calculation of earnings per Unit.

     These unaudited financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain
information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP")
have been condensed or omitted.  While the Managing General Partner believes
that the disclosures presented are adequate to make the information not
misleading, it is suggested that these financial statements be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and the notes included in the
Partnership's Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1995.

(2)  FINANCING, LIQUIDITY AND RELATED MATTERS

     The Company has historically met its liquidity requirements principally
from cash flow generated by land and home sales, property management fees,
distributions from residential rental partnerships and from bank financing
providing funds for development and working capital.

     The Company's cash flow has been adversely affected by a weak market for
residential lots and expenses related to the Clean Water Act litigation. 
Concerns over job security and a rise in mortgage rates have contributed to a
slowdown in new home sales in the region.  During the first six months of 1996,
new home sales in Charles County were down 10% below the same period in 1995. 
Over the course of the Clean Water Act litigation through June 30, 1996, the
Company has incurred approximately $5.3 million in related legal and consulting
expenses.  The Company has reserves of $550,000 to cover future estimated
expenses relating to appeal of the convictions.  The monetary fines and
estimated remediation expenses arising from the sentence imposed on the Company
remain as unreserved contingent liabilities pending results of the appeal.

     The Company's loan agreements contain certain restrictive covenants, cross
default provisions and material adverse change in financial condition clauses. 
Signet Bank has issued a notice of default pertaining to $1.8 million of debt. 
As a result of this notice of default, $18.5 million of the Company's bank debt
could be called into default.

     The event of default and the potential for multiple loan defaults has
hindered the Company's ability to secure financing necessary for the 

<PAGE>11

development of Fairway Village, the third of five villages in the Planned Unit
Development of St. Charles, Maryland.  The Company's current inventory of
finished lots in St. Charles is anticipated to be sold during 1996, therefore,
the development of additional lots is necessary to provide inventory for sales
in 1997 and beyond.

     During the first quarter of 1996, four apartment projects in Puerto Rico
were sold under the 1990 Low Income Housing Preservation and Resident
Homeownership Act ("LIHPRHA").  This sale, after taxes, generated approximately
$11.4 million of cash.  Approximately $9.2 million of cash proceeds was pledged
to curtail bank debt and the remainder was used to pay legal fees related to
the wetlands convictions and support operations.  As a result of the debt
curtailments, the FDIC loan was paid off and NationsBank has a first lien on
commercial properties in St. Charles which will have the effect of improving
the Company's cash flow as the release prices under the NationsBank agreement
are less than that of the FDIC.

     In addition to its traditional sources of liquidity, the Company has
retained a consultant to pursue a capital transaction.

(3)  INVESTMENT IN RESIDENTIAL RENTAL PARTNERSHIPS

     As of June 30, 1996, IGC manages and is a general partner in 25 real
estate partnerships which own 28 apartment projects in Puerto Rico, Maryland,
Virginia and Washington, D.C.  IGC is also a limited partner in many of these
partnerships. The apartment projects are financed by non-recourse mortgages. 
Of the 5,641 rental units in the various partnerships, the Federal Housing
Administration ("FHA") provides subsidies for low and moderate income tenants
in 4,453 units.

     The Company acquired a controlling interest in four partnerships in
conjunction with the 1994 purchase of partnership interests from IBC, by
purchasing IBC's remaining 1.1% limited partnership interest in those
partnerships.  The terms were consistent with the original agreement and
resulted in a charge to capital of $69,000 for the difference in IBC's book
basis, and IGC's basis of the receivables satisfied.  The affect on the
Company's consolidated balance sheet was a $17,689,000 increase to assets and
liabilities.

     As of June 30, 1996, IGC holds a controlling interest in seven of the
partnerships.  The results of operations, assets and liabilities of these
partnerships are included in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.  The Company's investment in the remaining partnerships are
accounted for under the equity method.  The combined condensed statements of
income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 shown
below include the operating results of all 25 partnerships.  The results of
operations for the four projects sold pursuant to LIHPRHA are not included. 
These four partnerships that produced $4.5 million of revenue, $300,000 of net
income and $63,000 of cash flow for the year ended 1995 were sold for $52.7
million and generated a gain of $38.1 million.  As a result of this sale, IGC
received $16.4 million in cash and recognized earnings of $14.6 million.

     (1)  The income and expenses of three partnerships are also included in
          the Company's consolidated statements of income for the three and six
          month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.  The income and expenses
          of four partnerships during the period April 1, 1996 to June 30, 1996
          are also included in the Company's consolidated statements of income
          for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996.  The total
          income and expenses included above that relate to these partnerships
          are as follows:
                                                    Income        Expenses
                                                    ------        --------

          Three months ended June 30, 1996        $2,120,307     $2,152,229
          Three months ended June 30, 1995        $2,165,306     $2,095,302
          Six months ended June 30, 1996          $4,258,692     $4,299,560
          Six months ended June 30, 1995          $4,319,879     $4,170,265

     The FHA, Puerto Rico Housing Finance Corporation ("PRHFC"), State and
District of Columbia housing agencies and the partnership agreements require
that the accumulation of cash in the partnerships be sufficient to liquidate
all current liabilities before distributions to partners are permitted.  Most
of the partnership agreements provide that IGC receive a zero to 5% interest in
profits, losses and cash flow from operations until such time as the limited
partners have received cash distributions equal to their capital contributions.

Thereafter, IGC generally shares in 50% of cash distributions from operations. 

(4)  OPERATIONS DISTRIBUTED TO UNITHOLDERS

     On February 6, 1995, IGC distributed to its unitholders its 99% limited
partnership interest in Equus (the "Equus Distribution").  IGC and its wholly
owned subsidiary, Equus Management Company ("EMC"), retained the 1% general
partner interest and continue to manage Equus.  For a transitional period
following completion of the Equus Distribution, IGC will provide certain
administrative services and support to Equus pursuant to a Master Support and
Services Agreement (the "Support Agreement").  Equus will reimburse IGC for
costs incurred in providing these services.  IGC accounts for its investment on
the equity method of accounting.

(a)  The management fee was reduced from 4.5% or 5% to 2.5% until the project
     has positive cash flow and has paid all previously accrued management
     fees.
(b)  Management agreed that it would defer all management fees until Chastleton
     had sufficient cash flow to fund operations and to subordinate 50% of its
     management fee until IBC has recovered its operating advances.
(c)  The performance of this project has improved and the project produced
     positive cash flow during 1995 and 1996.  The collection of the remaining
     receivable balance is considered probable and reserves related to this
     receivable aggregating $335,000 were recognized as income during the first
     quarter of 1995.
(d)  The management contracts for commercial projects owned by IBC were
     terminated April 30, 1996.  IBC became the new management agent effective
     May 1, 1996.
(e)  During the second quarter of 1996, IBC transferred its remaining 1.1%
     limited partnership interest in four housing partnerships to IGC for its
     market value of $69,000 as satisfaction of a note receivable.  The balance
     of this note receivable and other receivables were purchased by an
     affiliate of IBC for a cash payment of $1,279,000.  The collection of the
     majority of these receivables had previously been questionable and
     $413,000 had been reserved.  This transaction resulted in income
     recognition of these reserves during the second quarter of 1996.
(f)  During the first quarter of 1995, IBC assigned a note receivable due from
     Lakeside to IGC in satisfaction of past due receivables from Coachman's. 
     The collection of the majority of the Coachman's receivables had
     previously been questionable and $328,000 had been reserved.  This
     transaction resulted in income recognition of these reserves during the
     first quarter of 1995.  The Company collected the $352,000 receivable due
     from Lakeside during 1995.
(g)  The outstanding receivable balances include unpaid management fees,
     operating advances, reimbursement due for common expenses, and interest on
     those balances.
(h)  IGC is contingently liable under $4.6 million of letters of credit issued
     by NationsBank collateralized by land, which secure additional bonds
     issued for Chastleton.

(i)  IBC has the funding obligation for operating deficits.  In early 1996,
     IGC, as general partner, funded $184,000 of cash deficits that were
     satisfied in April 1996.
(j)  IBC has the funding obligation for operating deficits.  Since IGC equally
     shares the general and limited partnership interest with IBC, IGC funded a
     portion of the deficits.

     IGC and affiliates lease office space from Smallwood Village Associates
Limited Partnership ("SVA"), one of IBC's commercial properties in which IGC's
executive offices are located.  A total of 17,255 square feet of office space
is leased by IGC and affiliates at approximately $205,000 per year (subject to
adjustment for inflation).  The leases expire in the years 1997 and 2005 and at
IGC's request, IBC has the obligation to sublease the space for the remainder
of the lease.  During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and
1995, IGC's rent for its share of the leases was $32,000 and $48,000,
respectively, and $64,000 and $95,000, respectively.

     IGC's Puerto Rico executive office has been located in the Doral Building
since November 1991 under a five-year lease providing for a first-year payment
of rent of approximately $187,000 and certain escalations for increases in the
CPI and pro-rata share of operating expenses in years two through five.  Rental
expense for the executive office and certain other property in Puerto Rico
leased from affiliates was $115,000 and $110,000 for the six months ended June
30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Rental expense for the three month periods
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 was $57,000 and $44,000, respectively.

     American Family Homes, a wholly owned subsidiary of IGC, leased 3000
square feet of commercial space from IBC which was used for one of its sales
centers.  The lease expired December 31, 1995.  Rent expense associated with
this lease during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1995 was
approximately $6,000 and $16,000, respectively.

     James J. Wilson, as a general partner of Interstate General Properties
S.E. ("IGP"), is entitled to priority distributions made by each housing
partnership in which IGP is the general partner.  If IGP receives a
distribution which represents 1% or less of a partnership's total distribution,
Mr. Wilson receives the entire distribution.  If IGP receives a distribution
which represents more than 1% of a partnership's total distribution, Mr. Wilson
receives the first 1% of such total.

     IGC provides administrative support services to Equus Gaming Company L.P.
pursuant to a Master Support and Services Agreement.  During the six months
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, IGC earned $100,000 and $100,000, respectively,
in connection with such services.  During the three month periods ended June
30, 1996 and 1995, IGC earned $50,000 and $50,000, respectively.  IGC, as
general partner, has made operating advancements to Equus.  The outstanding
balance of the advances and reimbursements due for support services as of June
30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 was $487,000 and $225,000, respectively.

     In addition to the support provided Equus pursuant to the Support
Agreement, the Company provides management services and administrative support
to Equus' subsidiaries, HDA, Galapagos and S & E, and its major tenant, ECOC. 
The administrative support is reimbursed as the services are rendered.  The
management agreement with HDA continues into December 2004.  Upon closing of an
HDA refinancing in December 1993, the management agreement was amended to
reduce the management fee to an annual fee of $250,000, adjusted annually
beginning in 1994 by the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index
("CPI").  Prior to such amendment, IGC received a management fee equal to 5% of

<PAGE>19

HDA's rental income.  The HDA management fees earned during the first six
months of 1996 and 1995 were $135,000 and $132,000 respectively.  Management
fees for the three month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 were $67,000 and
$66,000, respectively.

     Pursuant to a consulting agreement effective December 15, 1993, ECOC has
retained as executive management three racing consultants employed by IGC. 
ECOC reimburses all of IGC's payroll, bonus, fringe benefits and out-of-pocket
expenses associated with the employment of the consultants, and reimburses IGC
for other personnel who from time to time provide services to ECOC.  Such
reimbursements are subject to certain limitations on increases in reimbursable
costs during the term of the consulting agreement.  ECOC uses certain land
owned by Land Development Associates, S.E. ("LDA") for a sanitary landfill in
connection with its operation of the El Comandante Race Track.  LDA has
authorized this use, but has reserved the right to terminate such use if it
conflicts with future development by LDA.  Jorge Colon Nevares, a director of
IGMC, also serves as a director of ECOC and Thomas B. Wilson, one of the IBC
representatives on IGMC's board of directors, serves as ECOC's president.

     On March 31, 1995, IGC sold two parcels in the Parque Escorial development
in Puerto Rico to Compri Caribe Development Corp. ("Compri"), a corporation
wholly owned by Jorge Colon Nevares, a director of the Company's managing
general partner for use in its operations.  The terms of sale provided for a
sales price of $3,453,000, of which $693,000 was paid in cash, and the
remainder of which was satisfied by a note in the amount of $2,760,000.  The
note is collateralized by the land parcels and bears interest at a rate of 10%
per annum commencing upon the completion of certain infrastructure
improvements.  Monthly payments of principal and interest totalling $27,000 are
due monthly commencing May 1, 1995 with a balloon payment due at maturity on
April 1, 1998.

     Concurrent with the transaction described above, the Company executed a
$3,397,000 contract of sale with Compri for three other land parcels in the
Parque Escorial development.  On April 1, 1996, Compri made a 20% cash payment
and the remainder was satisfied by an interest bearing note collateralized by
the land parcels.  The note bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum
commencing upon the completion of certain infrastructure improvements scheduled
to be completed in the third quarter of 1996, and is payable in thirty-five
monthly installments of $27,000, with a balloon payment due at maturity on
April 1, 1999.  Until such time as the infrastructure improvements are
completed, the monthly installment will be applied to principal reduction in
full.

     On September 8, 1995, the Company executed a Contract of Sale with Twenty
First Century Homes S.E. ("Twenty First Century") for two parcels of land in
the residential area of Parque Escorial Development for $3,520,000.  Jorge
Colon Nevares, a director of IGC, holds a 50% ownership interest in Twenty
First Century.  Closing occurred on June 27, 1996 for $2,720,000, which
reflected a price adjustment due to current market conditions.  The price
reduction was equal to that given to the purchasers of two other parcels in the
residential area.  A steep increase in on site construction costs to the
purchasers forced the reduction in the sales price of the land.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The following discussion contains statements that may be considered
forward looking that involve a number of risk and uncertainties as discussed
herein and in the Company's SEC reports.  Therefore, actual results could
differ materially.

     The real estate industry is cyclical, and is especially sensitive to
fluctuations in economic activity and movements in interest rates.  Residential
lot sales and sales of new homes are affected by market conditions for rental
properties and by the condition of the resale market for used homes, including
foreclosed homes in certain cities as well as the competitive supply of other
new homes for sale.  An oversupply of rental real estate depresses rents and
reduces incentives for renters to purchase homes.  An oversupply of resale
units depresses prices and reduces the margins available to builders on sales
of new homes.  In addition, the slowing of the economy and its impact on
consumer spending, particularly in over built markets, can adversely impact
both commercial and residential development activity, including the demand for
housing.

     The Company's homebuilding and community development sales continue to be
greatly influenced by consumer confidence, housing demand, prevailing market
interest rates, movements in such rates and expectations about future rates. 
Even though the rates have remained fairly stable and an adequate supply is
available to the entry-level homebuyer, the economic uncertainties associated
with the federal budget and government furloughs during 1995 and 1996 came at a
time when supplies and competition were high in the Washington, D.C. market. 
As a result, the profit margins in the region have continued to decline. 
Management anticipates the growth of the Washington, D.C. metropolitan real
estate market to be adversely impacted by any future federal government
closings and cutbacks.  This impact may be softened for St. Mary's and Charles
County due to the expansion of the Patuxent River Naval Air Station in St.
Mary's County.  It is anticipated that this expansion will create 13,000 jobs
within the next few years.  The Company has seen a significant increased
interest in its U.S. commercial land.  The Puerto Rico residential and business
market has remained stable. 

     The following discussion and analysis covers changes in the results of
operations for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 1996 as compared
to the results for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 1995.

     The Company's net income for the six and three months ended June 30, 1996
and 1995 totalled $9.3 million versus $1.4 million and $252,000 versus
$1,071,000, respectively.  A summary of these results by operation is as

     Land sales increased 5% to $10.2 million for the six months ended June 30,
1996 from $9.7 million for this same period in 1995.  Land sales increased 38%
to $6.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 from $5.0 million for
the same period in 1995.  The sales in the three and six months ended June 30,
1996 were primarily residential sales, whereas over 69% of the sales during the
comparable periods in 1995 were generated from commercial land sales.  The new
home sales in Charles County, Maryland for the first six months of 1996 were
down 10% from the same period in 1995.  This decline is the primary reason why
the residential lot sales in St. Charles were 80% lower in the first six months
of 1996 than the same period in 1995.

     Gross profit margins from community development decreased to 29% from 49%
during the first six months of 1996.  Gross profits from community development
decreased to 34% for the three month period ended June 30, 1996 from 56% for
the same period in 1995.  The decline in the gross profit margins is
attributable primarily to the mix of sales as described above.  The commercial
property in St. Charles typically generates gross profit margins that range
from 50% to 80%, whereas the gross profit margins on the residential lot sales
in St. Charles range from 25% to 50%.  As a result of the Company's efforts to
close out the Westbury and Montclair projects, the lots have been sold at
breakeven or minimal losses.  The commercial property in Puerto Rico generates
a gross profit margin that ranges from 40% to 54% and the new residential lots
are currently providing 29%.  The ranges in gross profit margins are created by
the differences in location, size and condition of the property and current
market conditions.  The gross margins for the St. Charles residential lots will
continue to average at the low end as the remaining lots in Westlake Village
are sold.  Management expects residential lot sales in Fairway to begin in 1997
which should raise the overall gross margin average for residential lot sales. 
The lots in Puerto Rico are close in location and very similar.  Their margins
should remain stable and increase as the market conditions allow sales price
increases.

     Minority partner interest increased $310,000 from $165,000 to $475,000
during the six months ended June 30, 1996 and $487,000 from $(84,000) to
$403,000 during the three months ended June 30, 1996 in comparison with this
same periods in 1995.  A minority interest shares in 20% of the profits from
the Puerto Rico land sales.  The increases or decreases are a direct reflection
of the volume and type of the Puerto Rico lot sales as described in detail on
the preceding charts.

     Revenues from home sales decreased 2% to $5.7 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 from $5.8 million for same period of 1995.  The primary
reasons for this decrease were the 23% decrease in the average sales price of
the tract homes sold during the first six months of 1996 through a close out
program and a 36% reduction in the number of semi-custom homes sold during the
first quarter of 1996 as compared to the same periods in 1995.  This decline
was offset in part by the 40% increase of tract home sales in the first six
months of 1996 that were generated by the close out programs as compared to the
1995 period.  Home sales increased 3% to $3.0 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1996 from $2.9 million for the same period of 1995.  This
increase was attributable primarily to the increase in the average sales price
of the semi-custom homes to $108,000 in the 1996 period as compared to $84,000
in the comparable 1995 period.

     Gross profits as a percentage of homebuilding revenues for a particular
period are a function of various factors including volume, pricing, efficiency
of homebuilding operations, and financing costs (including costs of subsidizing
customer financing, if any).  The gross profit margins earned during the first
six months of 1996 decreased to 6% from the 7% achieved during the same 1995
period.  This decline in the gross profit margin during the first six months of
1996 was attributable primarily to the effect of the close out sale of the
tract homebuilding inventory at reduced sales prices offset in part by a
$300,000 reduction in construction overhead during the first six months of 1996
as compared to the same period in 1995.

     The gross profit margins increased to 10% during the second quarter of
1996 compared to the 8% earned during the second quarter of 1995.  This
increase is primarily attributable to $178,000 decrease in construction
overhead and increase in the average semi-custom homes sales price during the
second quarter of 1996 as compared to the same period of 1995.  The increase
was offset in part by the lower gross profit margins earned during 1996 on the
tract homes sold through a close out program.

     Apartment rental revenues increased $927,000 or 40% during the first six
months of 1996 as compared to this same period during 1995 and $953,000 or 81%
during the three months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to this same period
during 1995.  These increases were primarily attributable to the consolidation
of four partnerships on April 1, 1996 when the Company acquired their
controlling interest.

     Equity in earnings from partnerships and development fees increased $14.5
million during the six months ended June 30, 1996 versus this same period in
1995, due primarily to the $14.6 million earned on the LIHPRHA sale.  Equity in
earnings from partnerships and development fees decreased $192,000 or 30%
during the three months ended June 30, 1996 versus this same period in 1995. 
This decrease was primarily due to the elimination of equity recorded for the
four newly consolidated partnerships and to the elimination of equity recorded
for the four partnerships whose properties were included in the LIHPRHA sale.

     Revenues from management fees increased $1.1 million or 49% during the
first six months of 1996 in comparison with the same period of the prior year. 
This was due primarily to $1,362,000 of special management fees earned in 1996
from the LIHPRHA transaction and a $275,000 recognition of reserved management
fees, offset by the elimination of $78,000 of fees earned from the four newly
consolidated partnerships, and by the 1995 recognition of $469,000 of reserved
management fees.  Management and other fees increased $177,000 or 20% during
the three months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to this same period in 1995. 
This increase was due primarily to the $275,000 recognition of reserved
management fees offset by the elimination of the fees earned from the four
newly consolidated partnerships.

     Interest and other income increased $280,000 or 131% during the six months
ended June 30, 1996 in comparison with this same period in 1995.  Interest and
other income increased $204,000 or 176% during the three month period ended
June 30, 1996 versus the comparable period in 1995.  These increases consisted
primarily of interest earned on notes receivable from land sales that resulted
from an increase in the balance of notes receivable.

     General and administrative expenses decreased $145,000 or 3% during the
first six months of 1996 as compared to the first six months of 1995.  This
decrease is primarily attributable to a $116,000 reduction of consulting fees,
$99,000 reduction of salaries and wages and a $205,000 overall reduction of
office expenses.  This reduction was offset by the $165,000 of non-recurring
costs pursuant to an employment agreement, the $74,000 change in accrued
incentive compensation as a result of the change in the market price of IGC's
and Equus' Units and the net change of allowance for doubtful accounts. General
and administrative expenses decreased $572,000 or 25% during the three month
period ended June 30, 1996 as compared to this same period in 1995.  This
decrease is primarily attributable to a $157,000 reduction in office and travel
expenses, the $163,000 reduction of costs pursuant to an employment agreement,
$131,000 reduction of salaries, and other reductions and timing differences of
legal and consulting fees.

     Depreciation and amortization expense declined $5,000 or 2% during the
first six months of 1996 as compared to this same period in 1995.  Depreciation
and amortization increased $2,000 or 2% during the three months ended June 30,
1996 as compared to the three month period ended June 30, 1995.

<PAGE>28

     Interest expense increased $631,000 or approximately 58% during the six
months ended June 30, 1996 versus the comparable period of 1995.  This increase
is primarily a result of accrued loan fees of $500,000 and a 2% increase in the
interest rate on approximately $10,000,000 of debt during the first quarter of
1996 that was triggered by certain events of default.  Interest expense
decreased $56,000 or 10% during the three months ended June 30, 1996 versus
this same period in 1995.  This decrease was due primarily to a reduction in
the Company's outstanding debt obligations during the 1996 period.

     Provision for Income Tax.  The provision for Puerto Rico income taxes
during the six months ended June 30, 1996 increased to $5,443,000 compared to
$557,000 during the first six months of 1995. This increase was due primarily
to the recognition of taxable income in 1996, resulting from distributions
received from partnerships in Puerto Rico that sold their apartment projects.
No taxable income of a similar magnitude was generated by the Company during
the first six months of 1995.

     The provision for income taxes during the three months ended June 30, 1996
increased to $620,000 compared to $150,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1995.  This increase was due primarily to the recognition of taxable income
during the three months ended June 30, 1996 resulting from the sale of land in
Puerto Rico.

FINANCING, LIQUIDITY AND RELATED MATTERS

     The Company has historically met its liquidity requirements principally
from cash flow generated by land and home sales, property management fees,
distributions from residential rental partnerships and from bank financing
providing funds for development and working capital.

     The Company's cash flow has been adversely affected by a weak market for
residential lots and expenses related to the Clean Water Act litigation. 
Concerns over job security and a rise in mortgage rates have contributed to a
slowdown in new home sales in the region.  During the first six months of 1996,
new home sales in Charles County were down 10% below the same period in 1995. 
Over the course of the Clean Water Act litigation through June 30, 1996, the
Company has incurred approximately $5.3 million in related legal and consulting
expenses.  The Company has reserves of $550,000 to cover future estimated
expenses relating to appeal of the convictions.  The monetary fines and
estimated remediation expenses arising from the sentence imposed on the Company
remain as unreserved contingent liabilities pending results of the appeal.

     The Company's loan agreements contain certain restrictive covenants, cross
default provisions and material adverse change in financial condition clauses. 
Signet Bank has issued a notice of default pertaining to $1.8 million of debt. 
As a result of this notice of default, $18.5 million of the Company's bank debt
could be called into default.

     The event of default and the potential for multiple loan defaults has
hindered the Company's ability to secure financing necessary for the
development of Fairway Village, the third of five villages in the Planned Unit
Development of St. Charles, Maryland.  The Company's current inventory of
finished lots in St. Charles is anticipated to be sold during 1996, therefore,
the development of additional lots is necessary to provide inventory for sales
in 1997 and beyond.

     During the first quarter of 1996, four apartment projects in Puerto Rico
were sold under the 1990 Low Income Housing Preservation and Resident 

<PAGE>29

Homeownership Act ("LIHPRHA").  This sale, after taxes, generated approximately
$11.4 million of cash.  Approximately $9.2 million of cash proceeds was pledged
to curtail bank debt and the remainder was used to pay legal fees related to
the wetlands convictions and support operations.  As a result of the debt
curtailments, the FDIC loan was paid off and NationsBank has a first lien on
commercial properties in St. Charles which will have the effect of improving
the Company's cash flow as the release prices under the NationsBank agreement
are less than that of the FDIC.

     In addition to its traditional sources of liquidity, the Company has
retained a consultant to pursue a capital transaction.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     In 1994, the Company filed two claims against Charles County, Maryland and
its County Commissioners in the Maryland Tax Court, a state administrative
agency, seeking compensation for school sites that it previously had deeded to
the County.  The actions seek to enforce an agreement settling litigation
between the parties that was entered into in 1989 and also rights pursuant to
Charles County law.  Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the County
agreed to credit the Company for school sites contributed and also agreed to
repay to the Company any excess school impact fees paid.  The Company seeks
$5.5 million, equal to the fair market value of the school sites.  The
Company's claims have not yet been decided by the Tax Court.

     In a separate proceeding, the Company filed suit in 1990 against Charles
County and the County Commissioners in the Circuit Court for Charles County to
enforce a provision of the same settlement agreement that required the County
to conduct an appropriate water and sewer connection fee study as the basis on
which to set such fees for the St. Charles Communities.  On June 22, 1992,
judgment was rendered in favor of the Company.  The judgment requires the
County to conduct the appropriate water and sewer connection fee study.  In
1995, the Court of Special Appeals of Maryland affirmed the judgment.  The
County has indicated that it is now in the course of conducting a water and
sewer connection fee study.  The adequacy of the study will be subject to
review by the Company and, if necessary, the courts.

     In March 1990, the Company received a notice (the "Notice") from the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers (the "Corps") asserting that unauthorized fill
materials had been placed in portions of an approximately five acre parcel in
Charles County, Maryland (the "Site") owned by the Company and claimed by the
Corps to constitute wetlands subject to regulation pursuant to the Clean Water
Act.  Following receipt of the Notice, the Company ceased development of the
Site and remediated a portion of the Site in accordance with instructions
issued by the Corps.  The Company also commenced discussions with the Corps
regarding mitigation plans that would preserve some commercial value for the
Site and filed suit against the Corps claiming that a prohibition of
development on the entire Site would constitute a governmental taking for which
the Company would be entitled to compensation.

     In November 1993, the Company believed that it had an agreement in
principle with the Corps that would settle the Company's claim and permit
commercial development of a portion of the Site.  However, in early 1994, the
Company became aware that this matter had been referred to the U.S. Attorney
for the District of Maryland.  After conducting a lengthy investigation of the
Company's wetlands practices in St. Charles, in October 1995 a grand jury
convened by the U.S. Attorney charged that certain of the Company's practices
with respect to four parcels, including the Site, constituted criminal
violations of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.  The indictment charged each
of IGC, its affiliate, St. Charles Associates, L.P. ("SCA"), and the Company's
Chairman, James J. Wilson.  During the course of the U.S. Attorney's
investigation, the Corps issued additional violation notices relating to
filling portions of other parcels claimed by the Corps to be protected wetlands
and in October 1995 filed a civil action in the U.S. District Court for the
District of Maryland charging the Company and Mr. Wilson with violations of the
Clean Water Act.  Of the approximately 4,400 acres developed by the Company in
St. Charles, approximately 70 acres are the subject of the civil and criminal
charges.

<PAGE>31

     On February 29, 1996, each of IGC, SCA and Mr. Wilson were convicted on
four counts of felony violations of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.  On
June 17, 1996 the Court sentenced IGC and SCA to probation for five years and
imposed fines of $2,000,000 on IGC and $1,000,000 on SCA.  The fines are
payable in unspecified installments within a period of two years as directed by
the U.S. Probation Officer.  The Court also ordered IGC and SCA to comply with
a Wetlands Restitution/Mitigation Plan as directed by the Corps and the U.S.
Probation Officer.  The definitive plan has not been presented to the Company,
however the Company expects that the plan will involve a conservation easement
covering between 40 and 100 acres in the vicinity of the St. Charles Towne
Center and other remediation activities requiring estimated costs of $2
million.  The Court sentenced Mr. Wilson to a period of twenty-one months
incarceration and imposed a $1,000,000 fine payable in six months.  He was also
placed on supervised release for one year and ordered to comply with the
Wetlands Restitution/Mitigation Plan.  The Court denied Mr. Wilson's request
for bail pending appeal and ordered him to report to a federal correctional
facility within sixty days.  Following the conviction the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency ("EPA") commenced a suspension and debarment proceeding
against IGC and Mr. Wilson.  EPA has expressed willingness to settle the
proceeding without suspension or debarment under an agreement requiring the
Company and Mr.Wilson to implement an environmental law compliance program, the
terms of which are being negotiated.

     Management believes the Company and Mr. Wilson have many strong arguments
to present on appeal of the criminal convictions.  Promptly following
sentencing, the Company and Mr. Wilson filed notices of appeal with the United
States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.  On July 16, 1996 a three judge
panel of the Fourth Circuit unanimously granted Mr. Wilson's motion for bail
pending appeal.  The Fourth Circuit has set an initial briefing schedule during
the early Fall but has not scheduled oral argument.  The U.S. Attorney has
agreed to suspend prosecution of the civil action until the Fourth Circuit has
ruled on the appeals.

     6.3  Original Documents.  At Settlement, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser
all original documents pertaining to the IBC Property which it has in its
possession.

     6.4  Certification.  In the event Seller shall have complied with any of
the foregoing provisions relating to furnishing information to Purchaser

full and complete release.

     6.6  Settlement Representations and Warranties.  At Settlement, each of
the representations and warranties of the Seller contained in this Agreement is

or expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) resulting from or in any way
related to any breach thereof.

Agreements, but subject to performance by Seller of its obligations under
Section 6.1 hereof, upon Settlement, Purchaser, in its capacity a general
partner of the IBC Partnerships (or, as the case may be, in its capacity as
general partner of Interstate General Properties Limited Partnership S.E.
which, in turn, is general partner of certain of the IBC Partnerships) shall be
deemed hereby to have consented to the transfers of the IBC Property.  


                                  ARTICLE VII
                                       
                                  Settlement

     7.1  Settlement.  Settlement shall take place in the office of the
Purchaser's designated legal counsel at ________ on the day established by this
Agreement.  Settlement hereunder shall occur no later than June 12, 1996.


                                 ARTICLE VIII
                                       
                            Default and Termination

     8.1  Purchaser's Default.  If the transaction herein contemplated shall
not be consummated on the date of Settlement because of the Purchaser's
default, then Seller may exercise any and all legal and equitable rights or
remedies available to it, including, without limitation, the right to specific
performance and/or recovery of damages.

     8.2  Seller's Default.  If the transactions herein contemplated shall not
be consummated on the date of Settlement because of Seller's default, then
Purchaser may exercise any and all legal and equitable rights or remedies
available to it, including, without limitation, the right to specific

                                  ARTICLE IX

                           Recision and Reformation

     9.1  Reformation in Certain Events.  If (i) the approval referred to in
Section 6.1 hereof with respect to any portion of the IBC Property is not
obtained if required or (ii) in the opinion of counsel to Purchaser, any such
approvals that are obtained are insufficient to vest in Purchaser free and
clear title to any portion of the IBC Property, or (iii) HUD or any
governmental agency or lending institution commences or threatens to commence a
legal proceeding arising from the consummation of the transactions contemplated

<PAGE>8

hereby in which HUD or such other agency or institution either asserts rights
in any portion of the IBC Property or claims which, in the reasonable opinion
of Purchaser, may materially reduce the value of any portion of the IBC
Property (any such event being referred to herein as a "Transfer Defect"), then
Purchaser, at its option, may rescind to purchase the sale of such portion of
the IBC Property.  Promptly upon receipt of notice of such recision, the
Existing IBC Indebtedness shall be reinstated in the principal amount equal to
the Appraised Value of such portion of the IBC Property.   

     9.2  Recision.  If, as a result of one or more Transfer Defects, Purchaser
determines that it is unable to obtain substantially all of the benefits of
ownership of the IBC Property or otherwise is deprived of any material
inducement to its willingness to enter into and perform this Agreement,
Purchaser, by notice to Seller, may rescind the purchase and sale of the IBC
Property.  In such event the Existing IBC Indebtedness shall no longer be
deemed to be discharged and Seller shall remain obligated to pay the Existing
IBC Indebtedness and any interest accrued thereon from the date of Settlement. 

     9.3  Procedures.  Upon any recision in accordance with Section 9.1 or 9.2
hereof, Purchaser and Seller shall execute any such documents and take any such
action as shall be determined by either to be necessary or desirable to restore
the benefits of ownership of any affected portion of the IBC Property to the
status quo immediately preceding the Settlement.  Seller shall bear all costs
and expenses of any such recision.  


                                   ARTICLE X

          WHEREAS, IBC is the successor in interest to King Charles, Inc. and

interests in the Partnership; and

          WHEREAS, IBC wishes to assign its remaining 1.1% share of the limited
partnership interests in the Partnership to IGC and IGP wishes to amend the
Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership as amended (the
"Partnership Agreement") to reflect the assignment of limited partnership
interest from IBC to IGC.

                             W I T N E S S E T H :

          In consideration of the mutual promises of the parties  hereto and of
other good and valuable consideration, receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto intending legally to be bound hereby
agree as follows:

          1.   Assignment.  IBC does hereby sell, transfer, assign, and convey
to IGC all of its right, title and interest in and to a 1.1% share of the
limited partnership interests including but not limited to IBC's interest in
the capital or income of the Partnership attributable to that 1.1% share of the
limited partnership interests in the Partnership.

          2.   Acceptance of Assignment.  IGC does hereby accept the assignment
as provided for in Section 1.  

          3.   Amendment of Partnership Agreement.  The Partnership Agreement
is hereby amended to substitute IGC for IBC as the owner of a 1.1% share of the

of the partnership interest, being conveyed hereby, to the extent HUD
determines that its approval is required.  IBC will, if necessary, obtain the
final HUD consent by August 12, 1996.  In the event of any Partnership
distributions, IBC will make payments to IGC in amounts necessary to afford to
IGC economic benefits equivalent to full ownership of the partnership interests
being conveyed hereby.  This assignment is given pursuant to and is subject to
the provisions of the Agreement of Purchase and Sale of even date herewith
between IGC and IBC (the "Sales Agreement").

     See the attached excerpt from the Annual Report on Form 10-K of
     Interstate General Company L.P. (the "Company") for the Year Ended
     December 31, 1995.  Seller is a general partner of the Company.  

Reclassifications
- -----------------

     Certain amounts presented for 1994 in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and
for 1994 and 1993 in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Cash Flows have
been reclassified to conform with the 1995 presentation.

(2)  GOING CONCERN AND RELATED MATTERS

     In March 1990, the Company received a notice (the "Notice") from the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers (the "Corps") asserting that unauthorized fill
materials had been placed in portions of an approximately five-acre parcel in
Charles County, Maryland (the "Site") owned by the Company and claimed by the
Corps to constitute wetlands subject to regulation pursuant to the Clean Water
Act.  Following receipt of the Notice, the Company ceased development of the
Site and remediated a portion of the Site in accordance with instructions
issued by the Corps.  The Company also commenced discussions with the Corps
regarding mitigation plans that would preserve some commercial value for the
Site and filed suit against the Corps claiming that a prohibition of
development on the entire Site would constitute a governmental taking for which
the Company would be entitled to compensation.

     In November 1993, the Company believed that it had an agreement in
principle with the Corps that would settle the Company's claim and permit
commercial development of a portion of the Site.  However, in early 1994, the
Company became aware that this matter had been referred to the U.S. Attorney
for the District of Maryland.  After conducting a lengthy investigation of the
Company's wetlands practices in St. Charles, in October 1995 a grand jury
convened by the U.S. Attorney charged that certain of the Company's practices
with respect to four parcels, including the Site, constituted criminal
violations of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.  The indictment charged each
of IGC, its affiliate, St. Charles Associates, L.P. ("SCA"), and the Company's
Chairman, James J. Wilson.  During the U.S. Attorney's investigation, the Corps
issued additional violation notices relating to filling portions of other
parcels claimed by the Corps to be protected wetlands.  In October 1995 the
government filed a civil action in the U.S. District Court for the District of
Maryland charging the Company and Mr. Wilson with violations of the Clean Water
Act.  Of the approximately 4,400 acres developed by the Company in St. Charles,
approximately 70 acres are the subject of the civil and criminal charges.

     On February 29, 1996, each of IGC, SCA and Mr. Wilson were convicted on
four counts of felony violations of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. 
Sentencing is expected to occur in June 1996.  On March 12, 1996, IGC and SCA
received service of process with respect to the civil action.  Maximum
statutory penalties possible against each of IGC and SCA under the criminal
action are $50,000 per day for each of four felony violations or,
alternatively, twice the pecuniary gain realized by the Company from any
illegal action.  The maximum statutory penalty possible under the civil action
is $25,000 per day for each of nine separate violations.  Because the
investigation with regard to the sentencing is ongoing, the Company cannot
determine from what point in time these fines could be assessed.  In the civil

<PAGE>26

action, the U.S. Attorney also seeks to enjoin the Company from engaging in
future illegal wetlands practices.

     During 1994 and 1995, the Company recognized approximately $4.6 million in
legal and consulting expenses relating to these matters.  Such expenses include
a reserve available to cover future anticipated costs of the criminal and civil
actions, including costs of appealing the criminal convictions.  The amount of
any fine in the current case cannot be estimated with certainty and as such the
total costs incurred may exceed the amount reserved.

     Management believes the Company and Mr. Wilson have many strong arguments
to present on appeal of the criminal convictions.  Accordingly, the Company and
Mr. Wilson will appeal the criminal convictions and will continue to defend
vigorously against charges in the civil action.

     The Company's loan agreements contain certain restrictive covenants, cross
default provisions and material adverse change in financial condition clauses. 
As a result of the Company's conviction on four felony counts of the Clean
Water Act, Signet Bank issued a notice of default by the Company of certain
loan agreement covenants pertaining to $3.3 million of debt.  Negotiations of
the terms and conditions of a forbearance agreement are in process.  In
addition, a $2.2 million payment was due NationsBank on March 31, 1996. 
Negotiations are in process to modify certain terms and conditions of the
loans.  Management expects to finalize these amendments and make the principal
curtailment in April 1996.  As a result of this notice of default, past due
payment, and unless and until the criminal convictions are reversed on appeal,
$47.3 million of the Company's bank debt could be called into default.

     The uncertainty with respect to the amount of penalties has hindered the
Company's ability to secure financing and bonds necessary for the development
of Fairway Village, the third of five villages in the Planned Unit Development
of St. Charles, Maryland.  The Company's current inventory of finished lots in
St. Charles is anticipated to be sold during 1996, therefore, the development
of additional lots is necessary to provide inventory for sales in 1997 and
beyond.

     As a result of the uncertainty regarding the magnitude of fines, events of
default, multiple loan defaults and uncertainty regarding the ability to obtain
future financing, which may cause the Company to have negative cash flow in
1996, there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern.

     The Company has historically met its liquidity requirements principally
from cash flow generated by land and home sales, property management fees,
distributions from HDA and residential rental partnerships and from bank
financing providing funds for development and working capital.

     As discussed in Note 4, the Company no longer receives distributions from
HDA, as a result of the Company's distribution of Equus Units representing a
99% limited partnership interest in Equus to IGC Unitholders in February 1995. 
In addition, under the terms of IGC's loans, most of the cash generated by U.S.
home and lot sales and distributions from partnerships, including distributions
from partnership refinancings, will be used to further reduce bank loans and
meet debt service requirements.  As mentioned above, project financings have
been delayed by the inability to determine the penalties related to the
Company's felony convictions.  Given these factors, the Company's ability to
generate cash for overhead, development and other uses is limited.


<PAGE>27

     During the first quarter of 1996, four apartment projects in Puerto Rico
were sold under the 1990 Low Income Housing Preservation and Resident
Homeownership Act ("LIHPRHA").  The Company will retain the management
contracts on the four apartments.  This sale, after taxes, generated
approximately $11.5 of cash.  Approximately $10.2 million of cash proceeds is
pledged to curtail bank debt and the remainder will be used to pay legal fees
related to the wetlands convictions and support operations.  As a result of the
debt curtailments, the FDIC loan will be paid off and NationsBank will have a
first lien on commercial properties in St. Charles which will have the effect
of improving the Company's cash flow as the release prices under the
NationsBank agreement are less than that of the FDIC.

     During 1995, the Company negotiated loan extensions with NationsBank and
Signet Bank.  NationsBank has agreed to extend the maturity of its loans until
May 1998.  Under the agreement, the extension of the maturity beyond November
30, 1995 was contingent upon a mandatory principal curtailment of $2.2 million
which will be made with the proceeds of the LIHPRHA sale.  Signet Bank agreed
to extend the maturity of its loans until September 1996.  The balance of the
Signet loans as of December 31, 1995 is $3.3 million.  The Company anticipates
it will pay off these loans prior to their maturity with the proceeds from the
sale of commercial and residential land which secure the loans.

     6.1  Instruments of Conveyance. IGC and SCA shall execute and deliver to

Such assignments shall be substantially in form and substance equivalent to the
Assignments attached hereto as Exhibit C. The assignments contemplated herein

Property which each of IGC and SCA has in its possession.

     6.3  Satisfaction of Liens. Except as contemplated in Section 6.1, any and
all liens, of any type whatsoever, with respect to the IGC Property and the SCA
Property, or as to which they may be subject, shall have been satisfied or

and complete release.
     
     6.4  Settlement Representations and Warranties. At Settlement, each of the
representations and warranties of IGC and SCA contained in this Agreement is
deemed to have been made again on and as at the Settlement and shall be true
and correct in all material respects as at the Settlement. IGC and SCA shall,

all loss, damages, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees)

                                  ARTICLE VII

                                  Settlement

     7.1  Settlement. Settlement shall take place in the office of the
Purchaser's designated legal counsel at 10:00 a.m. on the day established by
this Agreement. Settlement hereunder shall occur no later than August 19, 1996.


                                 ARTICLE VIII

                            Default and Termination

     8.1  Purchaser Default.  If the transaction herein contemplated shall not
be consummated on the date of Settlement because of the Purchaser's default,

                        Recision and Reformation

     9.1  Reformation in Certain Events. If (i) any of the approvals referred
to in Section 6.1 hereof with respect to any portion of the IGC Property or the
SCA Property is not obtained or (ii) in the opinion of counsel to Purchaser,
any such approvals that are obtained are insufficient to vest in Purchaser free
and clear title to any portion of the IGC Property and the SCA Property, or
(iii) any governmental agency commences or threatens to commence a legal
proceeding arising from the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby in which such agency either asserts rights in any portion of the IGC
Property or the SCA Property, or claims which, in the reasonable opinion of
Purchaser, may materially reduce the value of any portion of the IGC Property
or the SCA Property (any such event being referred to herein as a "Transfer
Defect"), then Purchaser, at its option, may rescind its agreement to purchase
such portion of the IGC Property or the SCA Property, as the case may be.
Promptly upon receipt of notice of such recision, the Purchase Price will be
reduced by the value (as shown on Exhibits A and B hereto) of the portion of
the IGC Property or SCA Property as to which the Purchaser has rescinded this
Agreement, and the remainder of the IGC Property and the SCA Property shall be
purchased and sold in accordance with the terms hereof.

     9.2  Recision. If, as a result of one or more Transfer Defects, Purchaser
determines that it is unable to obtain substantially all of the benefits of
ownership of the IGC Property and the SCA Property, or otherwise is deprived of
any material inducement to its willingness to enter into and perform this
Agreement, Purchaser, by notice to IGC and SCA, may rescind this Agreement,
following which notice this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further
force or effect.

Interstate General Company, LP ("IGC")
222 Smallwood Village Center
St. Charles, MD  20602

     Re:  Private Placement of Securities

     This letter constitutes our proposal (the "Agreement") for H&C Trading LLC
("Advisor") to act as your financial advisor with regard to a potential
financing of Interstate General Company LP ("IGC" or the "Company") based on
our knowledge through association of our principal Joel H. Cowan and
information provided by the Company.

     The following terms of the financing are being considered:

     *  The amount should be $25-30 million.

     *  The form should be equity or near equity (recognizing the limitations
        imposed on certain investors by your LP structure).

     *  The board will be composed of a minority appointed by the Wilson
        interests; a minority appointed by the new investors; and at least two
        independent directors agreeable to both investors and Wilson interests.

     You will make available, at your expense, appropriate experts, including
representatives of Arthur Andersen and Covington & Burling.

     The term of this engagement will last for six months from execution
subject to specific progress within 45 days, evidenced by written
communications from the Company to a prospective client.  The arrangement is
extendible for so long as specific investor negotiations are continuing.  Fee
for Advisor's services will be 1.5% of the funds invested hereby subject to
reduction to no less than 1% to the extent that another investment banker,
approved by you, is also involved, and the combined fees thereby exceed 3%. 
Out of pocket expenses incurred by Advisor in this engagement will be
reimbursed.

     You acknowledge that Advisor's principal, Mr. Joel H. Cowan, is a director
of the Company's manager and thus has an inherent conflict.

     The Advisor agrees to keep confidential all material non-public material
information provided to us by the Company, except as provided by law or as
contemplated by the terms of the Agreement.  Prior to disclosing any non-public
information by reason of a requirement of law, we would advise you of such
intention and afford you a reasonable time to take steps to resist such a
disclosure.  Information furnished to prospective investors will be done only
with the execution of such confidentiality agreements as your counsel may
direct.

<PAGE>2

     The Company agrees to indemnify and hold the Advisor, its directors,
officers, agents, employees, and legal representatives (each an "Indemnified
Person") harmless from and against any and all losses, actions, claims,
damages, and liabilities whatsoever of third parties as and when incurred
(except those caused by an Indemnified Person's own gross negligence or willful
misconduct related to or arising out of this engagement.  Neither termination
or completion of this engagement shall affect the provisions of this paragraph,
which shall remain operative and in full force and effect.  Shall a claim for
indemnification be made, but it is found that such indemnification may not be
enforceable in such case, then the Company, on the one hand, and the Advisor,
on the other hand, shall contribute to the losses, actions, claims, damages,
and liabilities to which the Indemnified Persons may be subject in accordance
with the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the
Advisor on the other hand, in connection with the matters contemplated by the
Agreement.  If indemnification is unavailable or insufficient, the Advisor and
any other Indemnified Person will not, in any event, be required to pay as a
result of any such case, claim, action or liability, an amount, in the
aggregate, in excess of the amount of fees the Advisor has received for this
engagement.  It shall be a condition of this indemnification that we (a) give
the Company prompt written notice of any such claim or action, (b) permit the
Company to defend against such claim or action with attorneys of their choosing
and at their sole expense and (c) cooperate in said defense.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to indemnify the Advisor or
any of the Indemnified Persons to the extent that such indemnification would be
contrary to the terms of the Company's Partnership Agreement or other
applicable law.

     The benefits of this Agreement shall inure to the respective successors
and assignees of the parties and of the Indemnified Persons, and the
obligations and liabilities assumed in this Agreement by the parties shall be
binding upon their successors and assigns.

     The validity and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by,
and construed and enforced in accordance with, the substantive laws of the
State of Delaware.  This agreement represents the entire agreement of the
parties and it may not be modified or amended except in writing and signed by
the parties.

     If you agree to the terms of this Agreement, please sign the enclosed copy
of this letter and return it to us.

                                        Very truly yours,

                                        H&C Trading LLC
