SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's
directors, executive officers and persons who own more than ten percent of the
Company's Common Stock (collectively,

                                       3
<PAGE>
"Filing Persons") to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership (Form 3),
reports in changes of ownership (Form 4), or annual report of ownership (Form
5). All filing Persons are required by Securities Exchange Commission
regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms filed.

To the Company's knowledge based on its review of the copies of such reports
furnished to the Company and upon certain other representations made by filing
persons, D. Richard Thompson, Michael L. Kennemer, Todd R. Snyder and Raymond A.
Wechsler failed to timely file one (1) Form 3, which form was subsequently
filed.

The Company is unable to determine the reporting compliance of Section 16 (a)
beneficial owners of Cityscape common stock due to the lack of adequate records
and non-response to written representation by former officers and directors.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Mr. Wechsler and Mr. Snyder each receive director fees of $1,000 monthly.
Meetings of the Board of Directors of the Company have been conducted
telephonically and therefore no expenses have been incurred in connection with
attendance of directors at meetings of the Board of Directors.

STOCK OPTIONS

There were no options granted by the Company or Cityscape during 1999.
Cityscape's stock option plan became inoperative with the confirmation of the
amended plan of reorganization in Bankruptcy Court.

There were no shares of Cityscape's common stock acquired in 1999 through the
exercise of stock options.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

Since there is not a Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the
Company there were no relationships requiring disclosure by the Company.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

The Company does not have an employment agreement with Mr. Thompson. Cityscape
had an employment agreement with Cheryl P. Carl. The agreement required the
executive officer to denote her full time and best efforts to Cityscape during
the term of the agreement.

The employment agreement with Ms. Carl was for a term commencing May 31, 1998
and ended December 31, 1999. The agreement provided for an annual salary of
$275,000. Because of Ms. Carl's commitment to remain employed with the Company
during the Company's reorganization, the agreement also provided for the payment
of a stay bonus of $200,000, all of which was paid to Ms. Carl by January 5,
1999. Ms. Carl's compensation for the year ended December 31, 1999 totaled
$408,453.
