        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
        ----------------------------------------------------------------

1.   Insignia  Financial Group, Inc. ("the Company" or "Insignia") is a Delaware
     corporation  incorporated  in July 1990. The Company is a fully  integrated
     real estate service  organization  performing  property  management,  asset
     management, investor services, partnership administration,  and real estate
     investment banking services for various ownership entities. The Company has
     consolidated  all accounts of  significant  subsidiaries  and reflected the
     appropriate minority interest.

2.   The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
     been prepared in accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles
     for interim  financial  information and with the  instructions to Form 10-Q
     and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of
     the information  and footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting
     principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management,
     all  adjustments  (consisting  of  normal  recurring  accruals)  considered
     necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for
     the  nine  month  period  ended  September  30,  1996  are not  necessarily
     indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December
     31, 1996.  For further  information,  refer to the  consolidated  financial
     statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on
     Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.

3.   The  calculation  of  earnings  per common  share is based on the  weighted
     average  number of shares of common stock  outstanding  during the year and
     common stock equivalents of dilutive common stock options and warrants. See
     Exhibit 11 for the  calculations of primary and fully diluted  earnings per
     share and the applicable adjustments to net income.

4.   The following is a summary of the Company's  material  contingencies  as of
     September 30, 1996:

     Gillett Family Trust, et al., v. Insignia  Financial Group, Inc., et al. In
     April 1995,  six  wholly-owned  subsidiaries  of Insignia (the  "Affiliated
     Purchasers")  commenced tender offers for limited partner  interests in six
     partnerships:  Shelter Properties I Limited Partnership; Shelter Properties
     II Limited Partnership; Shelter Properties III Limited Partnership; Shelter
     Properties   IV  Limited   Partnership;   Shelter   Properties   V  Limited
     Partnership;  and Shelter Properties VI Limited Partnership  (collectively,
     the "Shelter Properties  Partnerships").  In May 1995, in the United States
     District Court for the District of South Carolina, certain limited partners
     of the Shelter Properties  Partnerships  commenced a lawsuit,  on behalf of
     themselves,  on behalf of a putative class of plaintiffs,  and derivatively
     on behalf of the Shelter Properties  Partnerships,  challenging the actions
     of the  defendants  (including  Insignia,  the  Affiliated  Purchasers  and
     certain  officers of Insignia) in the management of the Shelter  Properties
     Partnerships  and in  connection  with the tender  offers and certain other
     matters.  On September 27, 1995, the parties  entered into a stipulation to
     settle  the  matter.  The  principal  terms  of  the  stipulation  required
     supplemental   payments   to   tendering   limited   partners   aggregating
     approximately $6 million to be paid by the Affiliated Purchasers, which was
     paid on  September  5,  1996,  together  with the  payment  of  plaintiff's
     attorney's fees and expenses which have also been paid.
 
     Chipain,  Tom, et al., v. Walton Street Capital Acquisition II, LLC, et al.
     In May 1996, Walton Street Capital  Acquisition II, MLLC ("Walton Street"),
     together  with certain  Insignia  affiliates,  commenced  tender offers for
     limited  partner   interests  in  ten  real  estate  limited   partnerships
     syndicated by The Balcor Company  ("Balcor").  In May 1996, certain persons
     claiming to be holders of limited partner interests  commenced a lawsuit in
     the Circuit Court of Cook County,  Illinois,  County  Department,  Chancery
     Division,  on  behalf of  themselves,  on  behalf  of a  putative  class of
     plaintiffs,   and,   as   amended,    derivatively   on   behalf   of   the
     Balcor-syndicated  partnerships,  challenging the actions of the defendants
     (including  Insignia,  an Insignia officer and certain  affiliates,  Walton
     Street and the general partners of the Balcor-syndicated  partnerships ) in
     connection with the tender offers and certain other matters.
 
 

<PAGE>

     The complaint,  as amended,  contained  allegations  that the tender offers
     were inadequate and coercive based,  in part,  upon  information  allegedly
     obtained by Insignia  in  violation  of its  fiduciary  duties.  Defendants
     promptly  moved to dismiss  the  complaint  and on June 5, 1996,  the court
     dismissed the  complaint as to Insignia and Walton,  with leave to replead.
     On June 11, 1996,  plaintiffs filed an amended class and derivative  action
     complaint,  repeating the same  allegations as in their initial  complaint,
     and  recasting  some as  derivative,  rather  than  direct  class,  claims.
     Defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint and on June 18, 1996, the
     court again  dismissed  plaintiffs'  amended  complaint  as to Insignia and
     Walton.
 
     On June 14, 1996, a second class and derivative  suit,  similar in material
     respects to the Chipain litigation,  was filed in the Circuit Court of Cook
     County,  Illinois,  County Department,  Chancery Division.  That complaint,
     entitled  Sandra Dee v. Walton Street Capital  Acquisition II, LLC, et al.,
     contained  substantially the same allegations as the Chipain complaints and
     asserted  additionally  that  the  tender  offers  violated  certain  state
     securities   and  consumer   statutes.   Pursuant  to  the  court's  orders
     consolidating the Chipain and Dee complaints with another action which does
     not name  Insignia,  a new amended and  consolidated  class and  derivative
     action  complaint was filed on July 25, 1996. The plaintiffs in the Chipain
     action are not parties to this latest complaint.
 
     On August 16, 1996,  Insignia moved to dismiss the amended and consolidated
     class and derivative action complaint. The motion was heard by the court on
     September  27, 1996 at which time the court  granted leave to the plaintiff
     to (i) withdraw its pending  complaint and (ii) serve a second  amended and
     consolidated  class and derivative  action  complaint.  On October 8, 1996,
     plaintiffs  filed a second  amended and  consolidated  class and derivative
     action complaint which added claims of alleged  antitrust injury and unjust
     enrichment.  On October 25,  1996,  Insignia  moved to dismiss  this latest
     complaint.  That motion is  scheduled  to be heard by the court in December
     1996.
 
     The Company and certain  subsidiaries are defendants in lawsuits arising in
     the ordinary course of business. Such lawsuits are primarily insured claims
     arising from accidents at managed properties. Claims may demand substantial
     compensatory and punitive damages.
 
     Management  believes  that the  aforementioned  lawsuits  will be  resolved
     without material loss to the Company or its subsidiaries.
 
5.   Other matters
 
     In November of 1994, the Company acquired  substantially  all of the assets
     (consisting  primarily of management contracts) of Allegiance Realty Group,
     Inc., a  wholly-owned  subsidiary of Balcor.  As of September 30, 1996, the
     Company  managed  approximately  178 properties,  comprising  approximately
     30,200 units of  multifamily  residential  housing and 11.0 million  square
     feet of  commercial  space  associated  with  that  acquisition  (44 of the
     properties, comprising approximately 1,600 units of multifamily residential
     housing and 4.9 million square feet of commercial  space are not controlled
     by Balcor).
 
     During the first  quarter of 1996 Balcor  announced its intention to sell a
     significant  number of its  properties.  In  connection  with the potential
     sales of such  properties,  Balcor has  entered  into  agreements  with the
     Company  to  provide  additional  services  (the  "Advisory   Agreements"),
     including  collection of data,  the  preparation of materials for potential
     purchasers,  and assistance with regard to transition  plans.  The Advisory
     Agreements  have an initial term of one year with fees ranging from .75% to
     1.25% of the sale  price of a  property  if and when  sold  (the  "Advisory
     Fees"),  regardless of whether or not the purchaser  retains the Company to
     continue  to manage the  property.  If all sales were  consummated  for the
     properties that Balcor is marketing, $14.4 million in annual revenues would
     be lost while  $14.7  million in  advisory  fees  would be  collected.  The
     remaining basis would be  approximately  $8.9 million with a revenue stream
     of $6.9 million. To date, 48 properties comprising 14,800 residential units
     producing $4.9 million in annual  management fees have been sold, with $4.6
     million in earned advisory fees.  There are proposed sales of an additional
     113  properties  comprising  approximately  25,800 units and 3.3 million in
     commercial  square  feet  which  generate  approximately  $9.5  million  in
     management revenues and which would produce advisory fees of $10.1 million.
     The completed and pending



<PAGE>

     sales are included in the totals mentioned above.  Management believes that
     the  unamortized  purchase price relating to properties  managed for Balcor
     properly reflects the asset value and that no impairment exists.
 
6.   Acquisitions  of National  Property  Investors,  Inc.  and Edward S. Gordon
     Company, Inc.
 
     As  discussed  in the  Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K,  the Company
     acquired  substantially all of the assets of National  Property  Investors,
     Inc. ("NPI"), its property management affiliates and certain of its limited
     partner  interests  in real estate  limited  partnerships  for an aggregate
     purchase price of approximately  $116 million in January 1996. In addition,
     the  Company  acquired  substantially  all of the  assets of the  Edward S.
     Gordon  Company,  Incorporated  for  approximately  $74 million on June 30,
     1996.  The pro forma  unaudited  results of operations  for the nine months
     ended  September 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995 assuming  consummation  of
     the purchases as of January 1, 1995 are as follows:

Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
- --------------------  ----------------------------------------------------------
of Operations
- -------------

Financial Condition
- -------------------

The Company's assets grew 92% from $245.4 million at December 31, 1995 to $471.9
million at September 30, 1996,  primarily from the completion of three strategic
acquisitions  during the nine months. The third quarter ended September 30, 1996
reflects  operating  results from all the  acquisitions  for the first time, and
shows strong increases in earnings before  interest,  taxes,  depreciation,  and
amortization ("EBITDA") combined with funds from operations ("FFO") for both the
third  quarter  and nine months  over the third  quarter  and nine months  ended
September  30, 1995.  EBITDA  combined  with FFO  increased 76 % and 70% for the
three  and  nine  months  from  $8.1   million  and  $24.7   million  for  1995,
respectively, to $14.3 million and $41.9 million for 1996, respectively.

During the nine  months,  the  Company  has  completed  the  acquisitions  of 1)
National Property Investors,  Inc. ("NPI") in January 1996; 2) the capital stock
of the Paragon Group Property Services,  Inc., the commercial  property services
operation  ("Paragon  Commercial")  of Paragon Group,  Inc.,  effective June 30,
1996; and 3) the Edward S. Gordon Company,  Incorporated  ("ESG") also effective
June 30, 1996. These three acquisitions were acquired for a total purchase price
of approximately $208.5 million,  most of which was paid in cash funded by draws
on the Company's $200 million revolving credit facility.  The acquisitions added
approximately 32,000 units and 46 million square feet of commercial space to the
managed portfolio, bringing the totals to 283,000 units and 107.2 million square
feet in commercial  space.  While the Paragon  Commercial  and ESG  acquisitions
added  approximately $2.5 million in EBITDA, as a result of transition and other
acquisition expenses, the results are less than proforma annual results.

The NPI  acquisition  also  added a  substantial  amount  ($74  million)  to the
investment in limited partner interests and increased the number of partnerships
in which a  significant  interest  was owned by 14 public  real  estate  limited
partnerships.  Also,  the  general  partner  interests  for  28  public  limited
partnerships  and 83 private limited  partnerships  were acquired as part of the
NPI transaction.

In addition to the acquired limited partner interests,  the Company has invested
an additional  $2.6 million in such interests  through  acquisitions in the open
market. In total, the Company has $133.1 million invested in limited partnership
interests. Insignia has received $13.3 million in capital distributions from the
partnerships over the past four quarters.

Insignia's  proportionate share of FFO from its partnership investments was $3.3
million and $10.3  million for the three months and nine months ended  September
30,  1996,  respectively,  129% and 186%  increases  from $1.5  million and $3.6
million for the three and nine months ended  September  30, 1995,  respectively.
With respect to those assets  operating during the entire third quarters of both
1995 and  1996,  property  revenues  increased  by 5.2% and  operating  expenses
increased by 5.3%.  Most of the increase in  operating  expenses  arose from the
planned  increase  in  property  appearance  improvements,  primarily  painting,
landscaping  and paving,  to  $932,000  in 1996  compared to $366,000 of similar
expenses in 1995; all other  operating  expenses  decreased 0.7%. The appearance
improvements undertaken in connection with the recent investments should reflect
peak  expenditures  during the third and fourth  quarters  of 1996 and return to
more normal levels in 1997.  Insignia's share of FFO as to comparable properties
increased by 7.0%, despite the substantial  expenditures  during the quarter for
property  appearance   improvements  and  higher  interest  resulting  from  net
refinance proceeds of $9.6 million recovered from the partnerships.

In April 1996, both the  subordinated  convertible  note and the preferred stock
were  converted into common stock of  approximately  1.1 million and 1.5 million
shares, respectively.

Also,  during the quarter  ended  September  30,  1996,  the Company  terminated
acquisition  negotiations  and  expensed  approximately  $935,000 in failed deal
costs. The termination of the discussions  reflects  management's  commitment to
acquire  only assets or  companies  that will  enhance the  Company's  value and
provide sufficient return on investment for the Company's stockholders.




<PAGE>

Subsequent to the quarter ended  September 30, 1996,  the Company  completed its
largest capital market transaction yet by raising  approximately  $149.5 million
through the issuance of a trust-originated  convertible preferred security, with
a term of 20 years and an annual cash  distribution  of 6.5% of the  liquidation
amount, convertible into the Company's Class A common stock at $26.50 per share.
The  convertible  securities,  commonly known as TOPrs or QUIPS,  are structured
such that the distribution is tax deductible to the Company, and may be deferred
by the Company for a period of up to 20  consecutive  quarters.  The  securities
received a rating of B2/B+ from Moody's and Standard & Poors, respectively.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Combined  EBITDA and FFO  increased 76% and 70%  respectively  for the three and
nine  months  ended  September  30, 1996 (to $14.3  million  and $41.9  million,
respectively)  over the same  periods in 1995 ($8.1  million and $24.7  million,
respectively).  The primary  reasons for the growth were the  increases in third
party fee management, the completed acquisitions,  and the increased investments
in limited partner interests.

Fee based services revenues increased 109% and 67% for the three and nine months
ended  September 30, 1996 over  comparable  periods in 1995.  Fee based services
revenues  increased to $62.9  million and $140.1  million for the three and nine
months ended  September  30, 1996 from $30.2  million and $84.1  million for the
same  periods in 1995,  almost all of which  occurred in the  property and asset
management  group  of  the  Company.  The  acquisitions   completed  contributed
significantly to the growth in the fee based services  revenues,  as well as the
net growth in third party fee management of 8,500 units in  residential  and 5.6
million in commercial square feet.

The financial  services  division of the Company is primarily  transactional  in
nature and,  consequently,  its operations can vary significantly from period to
period depending on when  transactions are consummated.  Revenues from the group
increased  103% and 7% for the three and nine months  ended  September  30, 1996
over the same periods in 1995.

Interest  income  increased  20% and 47% over the third  quarter and nine months
ended  September 30, 1995 primarily as a result of the higher  average  interest
earning cash balances and higher interest rates.

Other income  increased 6% and 36% for the three and nine months ended September
30, 1996 over the same periods of 1995.  The primary factor for the increase was
the growth in the amounts  received  from an agency that serves as an  insurance
broker for various partnerships managed by the Company.

Fee based  services  expenses  increased  by 126% and 81% for the three and nine
months ended  September 30, 1996 over the same periods in 1995,  primarily  from
the  completion  of  the  acquisitions   mentioned  previously,   including  the
transition costs incurred to bring the acquired  operations into the Company. In
addition, with the expansion of the Company into new and diversified areas, such
as the management of cooperatives  and  condominiums in New York, and many types
of  commercial  services,  the  margins  have  narrowed  somewhat.  The New York
business  is a  tighter  market,  and  the  commercial  business  is  much  more
transactional  in  nature.  These two  factors  combined  narrow  the  Company's
traditional margins from the residential  operations,  but do, however,  provide
stable sources of revenue and future EBITDA for stockholder value.

Fee based services expenses from the financial  services division  increased 29%
and 10% for the three and nine months ended  September  30, 1996 compared to the
same periods in 1995. The  transactional  nature of this division  combined with
the write-off of the failed deal costs caused the bulk of these increases. Since
this  division  is  transactional  in nature,  amounts  can vary from  period to
period.

Also,  included in fee based  services  revenues and expenses are the results of
the  Company's  activities  in  the  consumer  services  area,  with  operations
contributing  losses of $300,000  and $1.6 million for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1996.  Through September 1996,  approximately  105,000 units
have been signed up with  approximately  81,000 units rolled out resulting  from
recent communications.

During  1995,  a one-time  charge for $1.0  million was  incurred as a result of
terminating a contractual arrangement with a senior executive/director. Both the
Company  and the  employee  agreed to the  termination.  No such  expenses  were
incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

Interest  expense  increased  97% and 108 % for the three and nine months  ended
September 30, 1996 over the same periods in 1995.  Increasing interest rates and
higher debt  balances  ($97.1  million at September  30, 1995 compared to $185.2
million at September 30, 1996) were the primary causes for the increase.

With the  acquisition  of  limited  partner  interests  in  excess of 50% in two
limited  partnerships,  the  Company now  consolidates  the results of these two
limited  partnerships.  The categories  entitled  apartment  property  revenues,
apartment property expenses, apartment property interest and depreciation relate
solely  to the  operations  of the  properties  owned by the  partnerships.  The
percentage not owned by the Company is recorded in minority interests.

Depreciation  and  amortization  increased  96% and 69% for the  three  and nine
months ended September 30, 1996 over the same periods in 1995 as a result of the
amortization of the acquired property management  contracts and the additions to
property and equipment.

The  provision  for income  taxes  decreased  77% and 13%  primarily  due to the
decreases in income before taxes.

As a result of the foregoing,  net income decreased 76% and 5% for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1996 over 1995. Earnings per share was $0.01 for
the three months ended  September 30, 1996 compared to $0.03 for 1995, and $0.15
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared to $0.20 for 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

     The Company has several  sources  available  for  capital,  primarily  cash
generated from operations, distributions from partnerships, and available credit
under the $200 million revolving credit facility.  As a result of its ability to
generate cash, and such  additional  sources,  the cash balances grew from $27.6
million at  September  30, 1995 to $60.1  million at  September  30,  1996.  The
Company uses  combined  EBITDA and FFO as an  indicator  of its working  capital
generated from operations. Combined EBITDA and FFO increased 76% and 70% for the
three and nine  months  from $8.1  million  and $24.7  million for 1995 to $14.3
million and $41.9 million for 1996. The following chart specifically  identifies
the sources of the  combined  EBITDA and FFO and how the numbers are derived for
each period.

     In addition to internally  generated  cash,  the Company has a $200 million
revolving credit facility  available for acquisitions and working capital needs,
of which $178 million was committed as of September 30, 1996.  Subsequent to the
quarter end, the Company  successfully  raised  approximately  $149.5 million in
trust-originated   convertible   preferred   securities,   which  will  be  used
principally to reduce the outstanding  balance on the revolving credit facility.
With the working capital generated through the operations of the Company and the
available  balances on the  revolving  credit  facility,  the Company  feels its
capital  resources are adequate.  The Company's funding needs are reassessed and
additional  sources of capital  evaluated as  acquisitions  are  identified  and
pursued.

     The Company is also currently  engaged in active  evaluation of a change in
the manner in which its real estate partnership interests are held and financed.
The  Company's  objective  is to raise  external  capital  through a real estate
ownership  entity for the continued  acquisition of real estate interests and to
replace  some of  Insignia's  capital  currently  deployed  in its  real  estate
investments. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve the results
sought.
