        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 six month period ended June 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
     June 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
     taken by 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  require  supplemental
     payments to tendering limited partners aggregating approximately $6 million
     to be paid by the Affiliated  Purchasers  (which amount has been accrued as
     additional  purchase price, with payment to follow court approval);  waiver
     by the Shelter  Properties  Partnerships'  general partners of any right to
     certain  proceeds  from a sale or  refinancing  of the  Shelter  Properties
     Partnerships'  properties;  some restrictions on Insignia's ability to vote
     the limited  partner  interests it acquired;  payment of $1.25  million for
     plaintiffs'  attorney fees and expenses in the litigation  (which amount is
     divided among the various partnerships and acquiring entities); and general
     releases of all the defendants. On June 24, 1996, after notice to the class
     and a hearing on the  fairness  and adequacy of notice and the terms of the
     settlement,  the court orally approved the settlement.  Plaintiffs' counsel
     has not yet submitted a formal written order for approval by the court.  If
     no appeal is taken within 30 days after the court enters a written approval
     order,  the settlement will become  effective.  No class member appeared at
     the hearing to oppose the  settlement and thus it appears that an appeal is
     unlikely.  While approximately 60 unit holders opted out of the settlement,
     no more than 1% of the unit  holders in any one of the  Shelter  Properties
     Partnerships opted out.

     William Wallace,  et al. v. Devon Associates,  et al. On February 15, 1996,
     Devon Associates,  a New York general partnership,  commenced tender offers
     for limited  partner  interests in two limited  partnerships,  Growth Hotel
     Investors  and  Growth  Hotel  Investors  II (the  "Growth  Partnerships").
     Insignia  controls the managing general partner of the Growth  Partnerships
     and also indirectly owns approximately 8% of Devon Associates.

                                    5


     On February  21,  1996,  certain  persons  claiming to own limited  partner
     interests in the Growth  Partnerships  filed a class action and  derivative
     suit in the  Supreme  Court for the State of New York and the County of New
     York on behalf of themselves,  on behalf of a putative class of plaintiffs,
     and derivatively on behalf of the Growth  Partnerships.  The defendants are
     Devon Associates, the general partners of Devon Associates, an affiliate of
     one of the general partners of Devon Associates,  Insignia, and the general
     partners of the Growth Partnerships.

     The  complaint  contains  allegations  that,  among other  things,  (i) the
     defendants  breached  certain  fiduciary duties to the plaintiffs by, among
     other  things,  making  tender  offers  without  first  shopping the Growth
     Partnerships or considering other alternatives to maximize the value to the
     limited partners,  such as liquidating the properties underlying the Growth
     Partnerships;  (ii) the defendants  breached their fiduciary  duties to the
     plaintiffs  by,  among  other  things,  making  the  tender  offers  at  an
     inadequate  price;  and (iii) the offers to  purchase  and other  documents
     disseminated  in relation to the tender  offers were false and  misleading.
     The complaint seeks compensatory damages, an injunction blocking the tender
     offers,  and a Court order directing the defendants to cure certain alleged
     breaches of fiduciary duties.

     A second class action and derivative suit, similar in all material respects
     to the Wallace  litigation,  was filed on February 28, 1996 in the Superior
     Court for the State of  California  (the  "California  Court").  Styled R&S
     Asset Partners,  et al. v. Devon Associates,  et al., this complaint raises
     the same claims as are found in the New York lawsuit.

     On April 23, 1996, the parties to the foregoing two Devon  Associates class
     action and  derivative  suits  entered  into a  stipulation  settling  both
     actions.  The  principal  terms of the  settlement  agreement  require  the
     managing  general  partner  of the  Growth  Partnerships  to (i) take  such
     actions as are  reasonably  necessary  and  consistent  with its  fiduciary
     duties to  solicit  offers  for the  purchase  of the  assets of the Growth
     Partnerships which maximize the value of the Growth  Partnerships'  limited
     partnerships  units;  (ii) deal  fairly and in good  faith with  persons or
     entities expressing an interest in making a bona fide offer to purchase the
     Growth  Partnerships'  assets;  (iii) consistent with its fiduciary duties,
     provide  all bona fide  offerors  with  access to the Growth  Partnerships'
     books and records for  purposes of due  diligence,  (iv) allow  plaintiffs'
     counsel  to  comment  upon the  offering  process;  (v) make  available  to
     plaintiffs'  counsel  materials  and  correspondence  sent and  received in
     connection  with the offering  process;  and (vi)  distribute  supplemental
     disclosure  materials  concerning the existence of an offer to purchase the
     Growth  Partnerships'  properties.  On July 18,  1996,  a  hearing  seeking
     judicial  approval of the  settlement was held in California (in connection
     with the R & S Asset Partners action described  above).  The settlement was
     approved,  with the issue of legal fees being deferred until after the sale
     of the properties underlying the Growth Partnerships.  Both the Wallace and
     R & S Asset Partners actions will be discontinued with prejudice.

     Chipain,  Tom, et al., v. Walton Street Capital Acquisition II, LLC, et al.
     In May 1996,  Walton Street Capital  Acquisition II, LLC ("Walton  Street")
     with  certain  Insignia  affiliates,  commenced  tender  offers for limited
     partnership interests in ten real estate limited partnerships syndicated by
     The Balcor Company.  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.

     The complaint, as amended, contains allegations that the tender offers were
     inadequate  and  coercive  based,  in part,  upon  information  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.,
     contains  substantially the same allegations as the Chipain  complaints and
     asserts   additionally   that  the  tender  offers  violate  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,  which Insignia intends to
     move to dismiss.

     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 The Balcor Company  ("Balcor").  As of
     June 30, 1996, the Company managed approximately 217 properties, comprising
     approximately  40,300  units of  multifamily  residential  housing and 11.3
     million square feet of commercial  space,  associated with that acquisition
     (59 of the properties,  comprising approximately 2,000 units of multifamily
     residential  housing and 5.15 million square feet of commercial  space, are
     not controlled by Balcor).

     During the first quarter Balcor announced its intention to sell some 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,
     $11.8  million  in annual  revenues  would be lost while  $11.5  million in
     advisory   fees  would  be  collected.   The   remaining   basis  would  be
     approximately  $10.5  million with a revenue  stream of $11.7  million.  To
     date, 17 properties comprising 5,600 units producing $1.8 million in annual
     management  fees have been sold,  with  receipt of $1.8 million in advisory
     fees.  There are sales pending on an  additional  13 properties  comprising
     3,900  units  which  generate  approximately  $1.4  million  in  management
     revenues for advisory fees of $1.5 million. The completed and pending 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.

     In July 1996, the Company  decided that its mortgage  banking  relationship
     with the  Prudential  Insurance  Company of  America,  pursuant  to which a
     subsidiary of the Company,  Insignia Mortgage and Investment Company,  Inc.
     ("IMIC"), provides real estate loan brokerage services through Prudential's
     small loan program known as PRUEXPRESS,  was no longer  consistent with the
     business  strategy and objectives of the Company.  The  PRUEXPRESS  program
     effectively precludes IMIC from offering mortgage products competitive with
     PRUEXPRESS  and thus  effectively  precludes  IMIC from entering into other
     correspondent  relationships  with other  mortgage  lenders.  This  product
     limitation,  combined with a geographic restriction requiring IMIC to limit
     its PRUEXPRESS  mortgage brokerage activity and the lack of the opportunity
     to provide loan servicing in connection with the PRUEXPRESS loans placed by
     IMIC,  places  significant   limitations  on  IMIC's  ability  to  generate
     consistent and  predictable  revenue  levels or to achieve any  significant
     revenue growth from this activity.  In 1995,  this activity  generated just
     under  $2.0  million  in  gross  revenue  and  nominal,   if  any,   EBITDA
     contribution  taking into account other costs associated with the activity.
     Accordingly,  the Company  determined  that it was advisable to discontinue
     the program and focus its efforts on its more productive lines of business.
     The  cessation  of the program will result in the  elimination  of six IMIC
     branch offices and the personnel associated  therewith.  The elimination of
     revenues  from  this  activity  coupled  with the  elimination  of  certain

                                       7

     associated  expenses is expected  to have an  immaterial  net effect on the
     Company's financial performance.

     The  Company  remains in the  business  of  securitizing  real  estate debt
     through its investment banking group.  Securitized loan transactions in the
     last four years total in excess of $700  million,  $170.8  million of which
     was in 1995 and $78.5  million  to date in 1996.  This  group  also has the
     capacity to meet the Company's real estate  financing needs with respect to
     its own  portfolio  of owned and  managed  assets.  The  Company may in the
     future  explore other  mortgage  origination,  brokerage  and/or  servicing
     opportunities which are more consistent with its business strategy.

     Furthermore,  IMIC will  remain in the  profitable  real  estate  brokerage
     business and anticipates that the brokerage  segment of IMIC will, in fact,
     be more  profitable  due to the  elimination  of certain  overhead costs no
     longer necessary.

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 addition,  the Company
     acquired  substantially  all of the assets of the Edward S. Gordon Company,
     Inc. for  approximately  $74 million.  The pro forma  unaudited  results of
     operations  for the six  months  ended  June 30,  1996  and  June 30,  1995
     assuming  consummation  of the  purchases  as of  January  1,  1995  are as

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

Financial Condition

Insignia  is a  Company  with a  vision  for  capitalizing  on  opportunity  and
maximizing  stockholder  value.  As a result  of this  visionary  attitude,  the
Company  has  completed  three  highly  strategic  acquisitions  in the past six
months; posted 66% growth in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation,  and
amortization ("EBITDA") combined with funds from operations ("FFO") over the six
months ended June 30, 1995; and increased assets by 93% from December 31, 1995.

The first major  acquisition  completed in 1996 was the  acquisition of National
Property Investors,  Inc. ("NPI") in January 1996. Upon completion,  the Company
acquired  approximately  $13.5  million  in  cash,  $43  million  in  management
contracts, and $74 million in limited partnership interests. The acquisition was
for approximately $116 million in cash (less the subordinated participation with
PaineWebber  of  approximately  $14  million),  most of which  was  provided  by
proceeds  from a draw  of $88  million  on the  $200  million  revolving  credit
facility. The number of units managed increased by approximately 32,000 bringing
the total units managed as of June 30, 1996 to approximately 295,000.

In  addition  to the  stable  revenues  produced  from the  acquired  management
contract rights, the NPI acquisition was consistent with Insignia's  strategy of
expanding the  multifamily  universe of residents to whom goods and services can
be offered through Compleat Resource Group,  Inc.  ("CRG"),  the Company's newly
formed,  wholly-owned  subsidiary that has entered into strategic alliances with
HFS Incorporated ("HFS") and GE Capital-ResCom.

In  addition  to  the  increased   management  and  preferred   vendor  services
opportunities created by the NPI acquisition,  this acquisition was strategic in
adding to Insignia's  existing base of general and limited partner  interests in
real estate limited partnerships.  As a result, a significant  percentage of the
limited partnership interests in 14 public real estate limited partnerships held
by NPI were  acquired,  as well as the general  partner  interests  of 28 public
limited partnerships and 83 private limited partnerships.

The Company's  unconsolidated  investment in limited  partnership  interests now
totals $135.5 million with the acquisition of limited partner interests obtained
in the NPI  acquisition  as well as through  private  sales and  tender  offers.
Insignia  realized $3.6 million and $7.0 million as its  proportionate  share of
FFO from its  partnership  investments  for the second quarter and six months of
1996,  respectively,  a 159% and 214% increase over FFO of $1.4 million and $2.2
million  for  the  same  periods  of  1995,   respectively.   The  increase  was
attributable to the acquisition of additional limited partnership investments as
well as improved property operations. Restating 1995 property results to reflect
the same ownership  percentage in the same limited  partnerships owning the same
properties  as were in 1996 results  would have shown a 9% or $294,000  increase
over the FFO generated in the second  quarter of 1995.  This  increase  occurred
despite the fact that $10.6 million in capital  proceeds were  distributed  from
these partnerships to Insignia, of which $700,000 was derived from the two asset
sales,  $9.5  million  was  derived  from  the  proceeds  of the  December  1995
refinancing  and  $400,000  was  derived  from a reduction  in the cash  working
capital held by the  partnerships  at the time the  interests  were  acquired by
Insignia.

For  properties  included  in both  periods,  revenues  increased  by  4.7%  and
operating  expenses  increased  by 1.4%,  resulting  in a net  operating  income
increase of 8.2% to  $8,532,000  for the quarter.  This was reduced by the major
maintenance  expenses  (incurred  to  improve  the  appeal  of  the  properties)
increasing  from  $151,000 in the second  quarter of last year to $707,000  this
year,  causing  property   operations  to  increase  only  by  1.2%.  The  major
maintenance  expenses  represent  primarily  landscaping,  exterior painting and
kitchen and bathroom  remodeling.  A high level of such  expenses is expected to
continue  throughout  1996 in order to position the properties for above average
revenue  growth.  Net interest  expense  decreased by $238,000  compared to last
year,  reflecting  both the refinancing of higher rate debt in December 1995 and
continued principal amortization of debt.

The Company closed two acquisitions  effective June 30, 1996, both affecting the
commercial operations of the business.  The first acquisition was of the capital
stock of Paragon Property Group Services, Inc., the commercial property services
operation  ("Paragon  Commercial") of Paragon Group,  Inc., for consideration of
approximately  $18.5  million  in  cash,  with  adjustments  possible  up  to an

                                     9


additional  $4  million  over  time if  certain  revenue  targets  are met.  The
acquisition of Paragon Commercial added  approximately 24 million square feet of
office,  retail and industrial space to Insignia's existing base of 61.2 million
square feet.  Strategically,  the addition of this  portfolio  with the existing
commercial  portfolio will create a presence in major  metropolitan areas of the
Western,  Central, and Eastern regions of the country. Of particular  importance
is the  depth of  knowledge  and  transactional  expertise  that  the  executive
management  team of Paragon  Commercial  possesses in the areas of  acquisition,
disposition,  management,  leasing and  development  of commercial  real estate,
necessary to the building of a national  commercial business with the ability to
cross-sell services and products.

In addition to the Paragon Commercial  acquisition,  the Company consummated the
Edward S. Gordon Company,  Inc. ("ESG") acquisition effective June 30, 1996. The
purchase price for  substantially all of the assets of ESG was approximately $74
million,  paid  approximately  $50  million  in  cash  and  $24  million  in the
assumption of existing stock options.  ESG adds  approximately 25 million square
feet of managed  commercial space located primarily in the New York metropolitan
area,  bringing the Company's total to approximately  108.8 million square feet.
Strategically,  this acquisition was pursued to enhance and broaden the exposure
and capabilities of the commercial division through its experience and knowledge
in the transactional area of the business and corporate consulting services;  to
develop  a  national  apartment  report  for  Insignia's   residential  property
management  divisions  utilizing  the ESG  consulting  group  which has been the
publisher of the ESG Midtown and Downtown Office Reports since 1972; and lastly,
to promote  awareness  of and  strengthen  Insignia's  presence  in the New York
markets  through the  combination  of operations of the  condominium  management
businesses of Douglas Elliman - Gibbons & Ives and Kreisel Company, Inc. ("DEK")
(operating under the name of Insignia Management Services - New York, Inc.) with
the commercial leasing and property management businesses of ESG.

The Paragon  Commercial  and ESG  acquisitions  were  accounted for as purchases
based on  preliminary  valuations and will be adjusted as amounts are finalized.
The  condensed  consolidated  balance  sheet for the Company  reflects  both the
Paragon  Commercial and ESG acquisitions as of June 30, 1996. The primary assets
acquired were management contract rights and goodwill with bases adjustments for
deferred  taxes as a result of  differences  in tax and book bases  between  the
sellers and Insignia. Also, included in equity was the "in the money" portion of
the options assumed in the ESG acquisition.

In  addition  to the  acquisition  activity,  the  Company  focused on  building
internal value through the continued  roll-out of the preferred  vendor programs
that CRG, the newly formed marketing company, was offering through the alliances
with HFS and GE  Capital-ResCom.  While CRG has minimal asset value reflected on
the balance sheet  (primarily  due to the nature of the business being a service
business),  the Company has expensed $845,000 and $1.2 million in start up costs
for the three and six month periods in 1996, respectively, in this endeavor. CRG
is still in the  start-up  phase  with more  advancements  being made in testing
markets,  pilot  programs,  and sales  training so that success with the initial
units  signed  up  will  be  ensured  and add to the  validity  of the  programs
available to the property owners and residents/tenants.
 
During the quarter ended June 30, 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.

Results of Operations

Combined  EBITDA  and FFO for the  three  and six  months  ended  June 30,  1996
increased  78% and 66% to $14.8  million and $27.6 million from $8.3 million and
$16.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 respectively. The
primary  reasons for such growth were the margins  generated by increased  third
party servicing and the acquisitions  consummated in the last 12 months, as well
as the additional investments in the limited partner interests.

Fee based services  revenues  increased 44% and 43% for the three and six months
of 1996 over 1995.  Most of the  increase  for both periods (46% and 50%) was in
the property and asset management  division due to the consummated  acquisitions
of O'Donnell Property Services,  Inc. ("OPSI"), DEK, NPI and a number of smaller
purchases.  These  acquisitions  added  approximately  24 million square feet of
commercial space, as well as approximately  55,000  co-operative and condominium
units and 32,000 residential multifamily units to the management portfolios.  In
addition to the acquisitions, third party servicing has grown, net of losses, by
approximately 20,000 units since June 30, 1995. As previously mentioned, neither
the Paragon  Commercial or the ESG  acquisition  were included in the results of
operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996.

The  financial  services  group  is  primarily   transactional  in  nature  and,
consequently,  its  operations can vary  significantly  from period to period as
transactions  close.  Revenues from this group increased 18% for the quarter and
decreased 21% for the six months ended June 30, 1996.

Interest income increased 25% and 61% over the quarter and six months ended June
30, 1995  primarily  due to higher  average  interest  earning cash balances and
higher interest rates.

Other  income  increased  6% and 58% for the three and six months ended June 30,
1996 over the same periods in 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 47% and 50% for the three and six months
ended  June  30,  1996,  almost  all of  which  was in the  property  and  asset
management   division  (52%  and  57%).  As  mentioned  above,  the  consummated
acquisitions  impacted the fee based  services  expenses.  The margins  narrowed
somewhat as the operations from the co-op and condo management  business,  which
have a  smaller  margin  compared  to the  traditional  residential  multifamily
property  management  operations.  Also,  the commercial  margins  narrowed this
quarter  due  to  due  diligence  expenses  and  transition   planning  expenses
associated  with the Paragon  Commercial  and ESG  acquisitions,  as well as the
variances caused by timing of transactional revenues.

Fee  based  services  expenses  associated  with the  financial  services  group
increased  12% for the quarter and remained  constant for the six months.  Since
this group is transactional in nature, results often vary from period to period.

Administrative  and vendor services expenses increased 11% and 22% for the three
and six  months  ended  June 30,  1996  primarily  from the  increased  start-up
expenses  associated  with CRG.  Expenses of $845,000 and $1.2 million have been
incurred for the respective periods of 1996,  accounting for all of the increase
in this area.

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 first six months of 1996.

Interest expense increased 119% and 116% for the three and six months ended June
30,  1996 over the same  periods  ended June 30,  1995,  as a result of the debt
balances  increasing  from $73.4  million at June 30, 1995 to $123.6  million at
June 30, 1996, and increasing interest rates.

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.

                                      11 


Depreciation and amortization increased 55% and 54% for the three and six months
ended June 30,  1996 over June 30, 1995 as a result of the  amortization  of the
acquired  property  management  contracts  and the  additions  to  property  and
equipment.

As a result of the foregoing, net income increased 36% and 12% for the three and
six months  ended June 30, 1996  compared to the three and six months ended June
30, 1995.  Earnings per share was $.08 for both second  quarters  ended 1996 and
1995, while earnings per share for the six months ended 1996 decreased  slightly

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has several sources available for capital,  primarily cash generated
from  operations,  distributions  from  partnerships,  and some 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 $33.9
million at June 30, 1995 to $57.4  million at June 30,  1996.  The Company  uses
combined  EBITDA and FFO as an indicator of its working  capital  generated from
operations.  Combined EBITDA and FFO increased 78% and 66% for the three and six
months from $8.3 million and $16.7  million for 1995 to $14.8  million and $27.6
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 June 30,  1996.  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 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.
