Auditors' report to:

The Members
Cursitor Alliance Holdings Limited
The Partners
Cursitor Holdings Limited Partnership


We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Cursitor Alliance
Holdings Limited and Cursitor Holdings Limited Partnership ("Cursitor"), as of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related combined statements of earnings,
changes in shareholders' capital, changes in partners' capital and cash flows
for the years then ended.  These combined financial statements are the
responsibility of the directors of Cursitor Alliance Holdings Limited and the
partners of Cursitor Holdings Limited Partnership.  Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audits.
We did not audit the financial statements of Cursitor Holdings Limited
Partnership, which statements reflect total assets constituting 56.1% (1994:
47.8%) and total revenues constituting 64.9% in 1995 (1994: 63.1%) of the
related combined totals. These statements were audited by other auditors whose
report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the
amounts included for Cursitor Holdings Limited Partnership, is based solely on
the report of the other auditors.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management as well as evaluating the overall financial statements presentation.
We believe that our audits and the report of the other auditors provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other auditors, the
combined Cursitor financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Cursitor as of December 31, 1995
and 1994, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years
then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

CURSITOR

Notes to the combined financial statements

1    ORGANISATION

     Cursitor consists of Cursitor Alliance Holdings Limited (a United Kingdom
     incorporated company, formerly Cursitor Holdings Limited) and Cursitor
     Holdings LP a Delaware partnership.  Cursitor Management Limited (a 100%
     subsidiary of Cursitor Alliance Holdings Limited) and Cursitor Holdings LP
     jointly own Cursitor - Eaton Asset Management Company, a New York general
     partnership.  The financial statements have been prepared to combine the
     individual financial statements of the above organisations.

     Cursitor provides investment management services on a discretionary basis
     principally to institutional clients located worldwide.  The institutional
     clients include corporate and public employee pension funds, endowment
     funds and other US and foreign institutions.

     Cursitor - Eaton Asset Management Company and Cursitor Management Limited
     are registered investment advisors under the Investment Advisors Act of
     1940 and are members of the Investment Management Regulatory Organisation
     Limited, in the United Kingdom.

2    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     BASIS OF PREPARATION

     The Cursitor combined financial statements have been prepared in conformity
     with generally accepted accounting principles.  The preparation of the
     combined financial statements requires management of Cursitor to make
     estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
     liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
     of the financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses for the
     reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     COMBINATION

     All significant intercompany transactions and balances among the combined
     entities have been eliminated.

     CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

     Highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity of three months or less are
     considered cash equivalents.  Due to the short-term maturity of these
     instruments, their recorded value approximates fair value.


                                        7

<PAGE>

     FURNITURE, EQUIPMENT AND LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS

     Furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost, less
     accumulated depreciation and amortisation.  Depreciation is provided on a
     straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of three years for
     computer equipment and four years for other assets.

     INTANGIBLE ASSETS

     Intangible assets, being goodwill arising from acquisitions, are amortised
     on a straight line basis over their estimated useful life of ten years.

     REVENUE RECOGNITION

     Investment advisory and services fees are recorded as revenue when earned.
     Performance fees are recognised in the period in which they are earned,
     except where Cursitor is not a direct party to the agreement with the
     client, in which event such fees are only recognised once they have been
     confirmed by the third party to the agreement.

     FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

     Net foreign currency gains and losses resulting from the translation of
     costs and liabilities of foreign operations into United States dollars are
     accumulated in shareholders' capital.

     CORPORATE TAXES

     In Cursitor Alliance Holdings Limited, United Kingdom corporation tax and
     overseas taxes are provided, at appropriate rates, on the taxable profits
     for the year.

     OTHER BUSINESS TAXES

     Cursitor Holdings LP and Cursitor - Eaton Asset Management Company, as US
     partnerships, are not subject to federal and state income taxes.  Partners
     are required to report separately to federal and other taxing authorities
     their respective shares of the partnerships' income and such tax
     liabilities are not included in these financial statements.  Both
     partnerships are subject to New York City unincorporated business tax.
     Cursitor Holdings LP is subject to New Hampshire business profits tax.

4    ACQUISITIONS

     On 29 December 1995 Cursitor Alliance Holdings Limited acquired the entire
     share capital of Draycott Partners Limited, a company registered in
     Massachusetts, for a consideration of $577,000 which was settled in cash.
     In the period from 1 January 1995 to the date of acquisition, the loss
     before tax of Draycott Partners Limited was $75,000 (1994: $437,000).

     The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.
     Goodwill of $32,000 was expensed, representing the excess of the purchase
     price over the estimated fair value of the net assets of the acquired
     business.  Proforma financial information for the years ended 31 December
     1994, and 1995, reflecting the affects of the acquisition are not presented
     because they would not be materially different from the actual results
     reported.

     The acquisition agreement includes an agreement to pay further
     consideration, contingent on Draycott Partners Limited's utilisation of its
     $5.1 million tax losses carried forward.  Cursitor Alliance Holdings
     Limited will pay the seller 50% of such losses as are utilised.  In view of
     the uncertainty of being able to realise the benefits of these losses, a
     100% valuation provision has been established.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Partners
Cursitor Holdings, L.P.

     We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Cursitor Holdings, L.P.
as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of income, cash
flows, and changes in partners' capital for the years then ended.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Cursitor Holdings, L.P. as
of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

ITEM 7(b)  PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

                        ALLIANCE CAPITAL MANAGEMENT L.P.

           UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


On February 29, 1996, Alliance Capital Management L.P. (the "Partnership") 
acquired substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Cursitor 
Holdings, L.P. ("CHLP") and all of the outstanding shares of Cursitor 
Alliance Holdings Limited (formerly, Cursitor Holdings Limited) 
(collectively, "Cursitor") for approximately $149.6 million.  In addition, 
$4.0 million in acquisition costs were incurred.  The purchase price consists 
of 1,764,115 units representing assignments of beneficial ownership of 
limited partnership interests in the Partnership ("Units") with an aggregate 
value of $43.2 million, $84.9 million in cash, notes in the aggregate 
principal amount of $21.5 million ("Notes") and substantial additional 
consideration which will be determined at a later date. The Partnership is 
also obligated to pay in cash a purchase price adjustment of approximately 
$9.4 million in 1996.  The aggregate value of the Units was calculated based 
on a Unit price of $24.50, the closing price of the Units on the New York 
Stock Exchange on February 28, 1996.  The Notes bear interest at 6% and are 
payable ratably over the next four years.  Senior management of Cursitor owns 
a minority interest in the newly formed limited liability company, Cursitor 
Alliance LLC.

The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.
The excess of the purchase price, including acquisition costs plus minority
interest, over the fair value of Cursitor's net assets acquired at February 29,
1996 resulted in goodwill of approximately $161.0 million, which will be
amortized over 20 years.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements for
the year ended December 31, 1995 are based on the historical consolidated
financial statements of the Partnership set forth in its 1995 Annual Report on
Form 10-K and the historical combined financial statements of Cursitor for the
year ended December 31, 1995 included in this Form 8-K/A.  The pro forma
financial statements give effect to the purchase of the business of Cursitor as
described in the Transaction Agreement dated December 28, 1995.

The pro forma financial statements include (a) the condensed historical
statements of financial condition for the Partnership and Cursitor,
respectively, as of December 31, 1995, and the unaudited condensed pro forma
statement of financial condition for the combined entity as of December 31,
1995, and (b) the condensed historical statements of income for the Partnership
and Cursitor for the year ended December 31, 1995, and the unaudited condensed
pro forma statement of income for the combined entity for the year ended
December 31, 1995.  The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of
financial condition as of December 31, 1995 has been prepared as though the
acquisition of Cursitor had taken place on December 31, 1995 and the unaudited
pro forma condensed combined statement of income for the year ended December 31,
1995 has been prepared as though the acquisition had taken place as of January
1, 1995.  These pro forma financial statements and notes thereto should be read
in conjunction with the historical financial statements of the Partnership and
Cursitor.


<PAGE>

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not purport
to represent what the consolidated financial position or  results of operations
of the combined entities would have been if the  acquisition had occurred on the
dates referred to above or to be indicative of the future financial position or
results of operations of the combined entities after the acquisition.
