Board of Directors
Clark Melvin Securities Corporation

We have audited the accompanying  consolidated statements of financial condition
of Clark Melvin Securities  Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996
and 1995 and the  related  consolidated  statements  of  operations,  changes in
stockholders'  equity and cash  flows for each of the three  years in the period
ended December 31, 1996. 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 audit to obtain
reasonable  assurance about whether the financial  statements and per share data
and ratios 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 consolidated  financial statements referred to above present
fairly,  in all  material  respects,  the  financial  position  of Clark  Melvin
Securities Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the
results of its  operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                        December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994



NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

         Clark Melvin Securities Corporation (Clark Melvin) is incorporated in
      the State of Delaware.  Clark Melvin is registered as both a broker/dealer
      in securities  and an  investment  adviser with the  Securities  and
      Exchange Commission.  In this  capacity,  it executes  principal
      transactions  and performs  underwriting  and  investment  banking
      services.  Clark  Melvin conducts  business  primarily  with its  clearing
      broker on behalf of its customers and for its own proprietary  accounts.
      Clark Melvin's customers are primarily located in the mid-Atlantic region
      and in Puerto Rico.

         The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Clark
      Melvin and its wholly-owned subsidiaries,  CineFund Management Corporation
      (Cine) and CMS Credit  Corporation  (CMS)  (collectively  "the  Company").
      Clark Melvin  conducts the primary  business of the Company.  Cine is
      engaged in the management of Puerto Rico investment funds for which Clark
      Melvin acts as the underwriting agent. CMS is inactive at December 31,
      1996.

         All material  intercompany  balances and  transactions  are  eliminated
      in consolidation.

         In the normal course of its business, the Company may enter into
      financial transactions where the risk of potential loss due to changes in
      the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to the  transaction
      to perform (credit risk) exceeds the amounts recorded for the transaction.
      The nature of these risks, if any, are described in the footnotes.


NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         In accordance with industry  practice,  the  Company  records  customer
      transactions  on a settlement date basis which is generally three business
      days after the trade date. Revenues and expenses on a trade date basis are
      not materially  different from revenues and expenses on a settlement  date
      basis. The Company is exposed to risk of loss on these transactions should
      customers or brokers  become unable to meet the terms of their  contracts.
      As a  result,  the  Company  may have to  purchase  or sell the  financial
      instruments at prevailing market prices.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued

                        December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994



NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued

         Firm trading and investment  securities are carried at market
      quotations. Changes in unrealized  appreciation or depreciation of such
      securities are reflected in the statement of operations with interest and
      other income.

         In the normal  course of  business,  the Company's  customers  may sell
      securities  short. The Company's policy is to obtain cash or securities as
      collateral for customers' short positions.  Subsequent market fluctuations
      may  require  the  Company  to  obtain  additional   collateral  from  the
      customers.

         Office equipment and leasehold  improvements are recorded at cost.
      Office equipment is depreciated  using  accelerated  methods over useful
      lives of five  to  seven  years.   Leasehold  improvements  are  amortized
      on  the straight-line method over the lesser of the estimated economic
      useful life of the improvements or the remaining term of the lease.
      Included in other assets are organization  expenses of $800 in 1996 and
      1995,  respectively, which have been amortized over 60 months on the
      straight-line method.

         In 1996, Clark Melvin acquired a noncontrolling 50% interest in Irurena
      Management Company  (Irurena).  This investment is accounted for under the
      equity  method.  The  Company's  proportionate  share of the net income of
      Irurena is included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
      The net assets and revenue of Irurena  were not  material at December  31,
      1996.

         The earnings or loss per share of common stock is  calculated  by
      dividing the net  earning  or  loss,  adjusted  for the  preferred  stock
      dividend requirement,  by the weighted average number of common shares
      outstanding during the year (18,523,096 in 1996 and 1995, and 17,853,375
      in 1994). The effect  of  assuming  exercise  of  warrants   outstanding
      has  not  been considered  because the market  price of the common stock
      obtainable  has never been higher than the exercise price.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued

         In preparing  financial statements  in conformity with General Accepted
      Accounting Principles (GAAP), management is required to make estimates and
      assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
      the  disclosure of contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the
      financial statements and revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
      Actual results could differ from these estimates.

NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

         Major stockholders are also officers of the Company.  Compensation
      expense for the Chairman of the Executive Committee (resigned December,
      1995) was approximately  $178,800 and $119,300 in 1995 and 1994,
      respectively based primarily on commissions earned as a broker of the
      Company.  The President and CEO, also a major  stockholder,  earned
      compensation of approximately $133,000,  $117,000 and $135,800 in 1996,
      1995 and 1994,  respectively.  A significant portion of his compensation
      was based on commissions earned.

         A member of the  Board  of Directors  is a  partner of a law firm  that
      provides  legal  services to the Company.  Fees incurred for such services
      provided  during 1994 were  approximately  $20,000.  No fees were  charged
      subsequently.


NOTE 4 - ADVISORY FEE RECEIVABLE

         Effective  October 29, 1996, the Company earned a $300,000 advisory fee
      from a customer for services  rendered in connection with the modification
      of the  customer's  mortgage loan with the U.S.  Department of Housing and
      Urban Development (HUD).

         The Company  holds a promissory  note for the amount of the fee payable
      by its  customer  and  expects  payment  upon  final  approval  by HUD of
      the transaction documentation.

NOTE 5 - PAYABLE TO CLEARING BROKER

         Substantially  all of the clearing  and depository  operations for  the
      Company's  proprietary  transactions  are performed by a clearing  broker.
      Amounts due the clearing  broker at December  31, 1996 and 1995  represent
      fees for services provided.

         The Company has agreed to indemnify the clearing  broker for losses it
      may sustain as a result of the failure of the  Company's  customers to
      satisfy their  obligations  in  connection  with  securities
      transactions.  As of December  31,  1996,  no  customers of the Company
      held short or unsecured positions.


NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS

         The Company conducts operations in two facilities. One lease which
      expires in July, 2001, is renewable at the market rental.  The other lease
      expired in March,  1996;  the Company  continues  payment at the lease
      rate.  Rent expense  was  $160,757,  $153,467  and  $161,412  in 1996,
      1995 and 1994, respectively. The minimum annual rental commitments through
      the end of the present  lease term is  approximately  $59,000  in 1997,
      $61,400 in 1998, $63,800 in 1999, $66,400 in 2000 and $33,800 in 2001.

         The Company leased for $20,400 in 1994 certain office furniture  from a
      company owned by a relative of a major shareholder.


NOTE 7 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

         The authorized shares of capital stock were as follows:

      o  Preferred stock, cumulative,  $1.00 par value, callable;  authorized
         1,000,000 shares.

      o  Common stock, $.01 par value; authorized 40,000,000 shares.

NOTE 7 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY - Continued

         The preferred stock is callable at par. Dividends at the annual rate of
      1% over the  prime  rate,  as  determined  on the date of  payment,  are
      paid quarterly.  Substantially  all  outstanding  preferred  shares are
      held by related parties.

         In January 1989 the Board of Directors  adopted a key employee
      restricted stock award plan and a stock option plan.  The vesting period
      is two years from the date of grant with one half of the shares vesting
      after the first year. The market value of grants is charged to
      compensation  expense over the periods in which the employees are
      providing the related services.  As of December  31, 1996,  twenty-two
      employees  had been granted  1,500,000 shares in the aggregate.

         Under the stock option plan, a total of 250,000 shares of common stock
      may be purchased  by certain key  employees  and  directors.  Incentive
      stock options and  non-qualified  stock  options may be granted  under the
      plan. Discounts from options  granted at exercise  prices that are less
      than the market  value of the common  stock at the date of grant are
      amortized  to compensation  expense over the period in which the employees
      are providing the related services.  Options granted and outstanding under
      this plan are not material at December 31, 1996.

         In 1994, the Company approved a separate stock option plan for its
      President and in May 1994,  granted  options for 1,752,500  shares of
      common stock at $.05 a share. These options expire after five years.

         No options were granted, exercised,  forfeited or canceled in 1996 or
      1995 for either plan.

         At December 31, 1994, the Company had outstanding  1,391,260  common
      stock purchase warrants that were exercisable at $.10 per share through
      July 22, 1995 (in treasury  2,500 at December 31,  1994).  These  warrants
      expired without being exercised.

NOTE 7 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY - Continued

         Subscriptions  receivable  arose from the sale of common stock in 1991
      for four notes  receivables  of $100,000,  each maturing in 1991 through
      1994, plus interest at 7%. A subscription  for an additional  $500,000 of
      common stock was rescinded during 1993. In accordance with SEC accounting
      rules, subscriptions  receivable have been shown as a reduction in
      stockholders' equity. All subscriptions receivable had been collected as
      of December 31, 1995.


NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES

         The Company has adopted  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards
      No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".  Temporary differences between
      amounts reported  for  financial  reporting  purposes  and income tax
      purposes are insignificant.  The  deferred  tax asset  related  to the
      Company's  loss carryforwards  amounts to approximately  $683,000 and
      $751,000 at December 31,  1996 and  1995,  respectively.  The full  amount
      of this  asset  was reserved.

         Net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes are
      approximately $1,816,000 and expire between years 2005 and 2009.

NOTE 9 - NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

         As a registered broker dealer and member of the National Association of
      Securities  Dealers,  Inc.,  the Company is subject to the  Securities and
      Exchange  Commission Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1) which requires
      the  maintenance  of minimum net capital.  As applied to the Company,  the
      Rule requires minimum net capital of $100,000.

         As of December 31, 1996 the Company had net capital of $216,326, which
      was $116,326 in excess of its requirement.


NOTE 10 - CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK - CASH

         The Company maintains its cash accounts in one financial institution in
      Maryland. At times, cash balances may exceed federally insured limits. The
      Company has not  experienced  any losses in such  account and believes the
      Company is not exposed to a significant credit risk.


NOTE 11 - PENDING LITIGATION

         The Company is considering  pursuing arbitration  proceedings against a
      former  broker  in its  Puerto  Rico  office  as a result  of  losses  and
      complaints from certain clients regarding  unauthorized  trading. In 1994,
      the Company charged  approximately  $154,000 against earnings for this and
      another  unrelated  claim as  nonrecurring  expenses  that are included in
      other expenses in the statement of operations.

         Three customers  have filed  suits  claiming  damages  of  $542,000  in
      connection  with  these  allegations.  The  actual  trading  loss  to  the
      plaintiffs aggregated  approximately $184,000. One other party's claim was
      dismissed  because the  plaintiff had executed an  arbitration  agreement.
      That individual has not filed an arbitration claim and suffered no trading
      loss.

         Management  believes it has meritorious  defenses and will prevail
      against all parties.  However,  in the interest of  conservatism,  it has
      provided additional reserves of $10,000 and $33,000 in 1996 and 1995,
      respectively against the litigation and costs associated with these suits.
