Report of Independent Accountants


To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of
Edward S. Gordon Company, Inc. and
Edward S. Gordon Company of New Jersey, Inc.:

We have audited the  accompanying  combined  balance  sheets of EDWARD S. GORDON
COMPANY,  INC. and EDWARD S. GORDON COMPANY of NEW JERSEY,  INC. (the "Company")
as of  December 31,  1995 and  1994,  and the  related  combined  statements  of
operations,  stockholders'  equity  and cash  flows  for the three  years  ended
December 31,   1995,  1994  and  1993.   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  combined  financial  position of Edward S. Gordon
Company,  Inc.  and  Edward  S.  Gordon  Company  of  New  Jersey,  Inc.  as  of
December 31,  1995 and 1994,  and the combined  results of their  operations and
their  cash  flows for the years  ended  December 31,  1995,  1994 and 1993,  in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Combined Financial Statements


1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

     Principles  of  combination:  

     The  accompanying  combined  financial  statements  include the accounts of
     Edward S. Gordon Company,  Inc. and Edward S. Gordon Company of New Jersey,
     Inc.  (together,  the  "Company").  These  financial  statements  have been
     prepared on a combined  basis because each company is owned and  controlled
     by the same stockholder and are in the same industry. Inter-entity accounts
     and transactions are eliminated in the combination.

     Commission income and expense:  

     The income of the  Company  is  derived  principally  from  commissions  in
     connection  with  the  leasing  of  commercial  office  space,   consulting
     services, property management services and the sale of properties primarily
     in the New York City metropolitan  area. Income and the related  commission
     expense are recognized upon the signing of a lease or sales document.

     Imputed  Interest:   

     Interest has been imputed on non-current commissions receivable and payable
     arising during the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 at rates of
     9%, 8% and 6%, respectively.

     Fixed assets:  

     Fixed  assets are  recorded  at cost and are being  depreciated  over their
     estimated useful lives, which range from 5 to 13 years,  principally by the
     straight-line and double-declining-balance  methods. Leasehold improvements
     are  amortized  by the  straight-line  method  over  the  lesser  of  their
     estimated  useful  lives or the  remaining  lease  terms.  Fixed assets are
     written off in the year after they have become fully depreciated.

     During 1995,  the Company  traded in a fixed asset for another  fixed asset
     ("new asset") for which it received a trade-in value.  The basis of the new
     asset has been reduced by the deferred gain of $3,013,000.

     Income  taxes:  

     The Company has elected,  for federal and state income tax purposes,  to be
     treated under the  provisions of the Internal  Revenue Code as an "Electing
     Small  Business  Corporation"  ("S"  Corporation).  An "S"  Corporation  is
     generally not subject to federal or state income taxes.

     However,  the Company is subject to New York City income taxes.  Therefore,
     the  effective  income tax rate is  substantially  less than the  statutory
     federal income tax rate. The annual corporate income,  whether  distributed
     or not, is taxed  currently  to the  individual  stockholders  according to
     their ownership interest in the shares of the respective "S" Corporation.

     For income  tax  purposes,  the  Company  utilizes  the cash  receipts  and
     disbursements  method,  whereas  the accrual  method is used for  financial
     reporting. Deferred New York City corporation income taxes are reflected in
     the  financial  statements  primarily  to  recognize  the  effects of these
     different methods.  No provision is reflected for income tax liabilities of
     individual stockholders related to their share of the Company's income.

Notes to Combined Financial Statements, Continued


     Cash and cash equivalents:  

     The Company  considers all highly  liquid  investments  with  maturities of
     three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

     Estimates:

     The  preparation  of financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally
     accepted  accounting  principles  requires management 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  amounts of revenue  and  expenses
     during the reported period. The most significant  estimates and assumptions
     relate to the realizability of accounts  receivable and the  recoverability
     of fixed assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     New  Pronouncements:  

     In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
     Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
     Long-Lived  Assets  and For  Long-Lived  Assets  To Be  Disposed  Of." This
     statement addresses the accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets,
     certain identifiable intangibles and goodwill related to those assets to be
     held and used.  This  statement will be effective for the Company in fiscal
     year 1996. This statement, when adopted, is not expected to have a material
     effect on the Company's statements of operations.

     In October 1995, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
     of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 123,  "Accounting  for  Stock-Based
     Compensation."  This  statement   establishes  fair  value-based  financial
     accounting and reporting  standards for all transactions in which a company
     acquires  goods  or  services  by  issuing  its  equity  instruments  or by
     incurring a liability to its supplier in amounts  based on the price of its
     common stock or other equity instruments.  This statement will be effective
     for the Company in fiscal year 1996. This statement,  when adopted,  is not
     expected to have a material effect on the Company's  statements of position
     or operations.



2.   Line of Credit:

     The Company has a  $10,000,000  line of credit  which is due on demand,  of
     which  $5,600,000  and  $8,275,000 is  outstanding at December 31, 1995 and
     1994,  respectively.  The  interest  rate on the line of  credit  was prime
     (8.5%) at  December  31, 1995 and prime less .25%  (8.25%) at December  31,
     1994. The line of credit is  collateralized  by accounts  receivable and is
     guaranteed by the stockholder of the Company.

(B) Interest rate is fixed at 6.86%.
(C) Interest rate is fixed at 6.64%.


The notes are  collateralized  by certain fixed assets which have an approximate
carrying amount of $6,318,435 at December 31, 1995.




4.   Income Taxes:

     Deferred  income  taxes arise from  temporary  differences  between the tax
     bases of assets and liabilities and their reported  amounts in the combined
     financial statements. At December 31,  1995 and 1994, the components of the
     net deferred income tax liability is as follows:


                                                        1995             1994

     The Company has recorded a current and noncurrent deferred tax liability of
     $1,648,113 and $450,142,  respectively, at December 31, 1995 and $1,647,150
     and $52,207, respectively, at December 31, 1994.

5.   Commitments and Contingencies:

     a.   The Company is leasing office space under the terms of various leases,
          which have been accounted for as operating  leases.  These obligations
          extend  for  various  period  through  June  2005.  One of the  leases
          provides the option to extend the term for two  successive  periods of
          five years each.  The Company was granted an  abatement of rent at the
          beginning  of one of the lease  obligations  for nine  months,  during
          which time no rent  payments  were  required  or made.  For  financial
          statement  purposes,  the  total  rent due under  this  lease has been
          allocated ratably over its term.

          Rent expense was $4,181,664 in 1995, $4,558,599 in 1994 and $4,895,717
          in 1993.  Sublease  income for 1994 and 1993  amounted to $209,604 and
          $401,823,  respectively.  The  leases  require  the  Company  to pay a
          proportionate   share  of  real  estate  tax  and  operating   expense
          increments,  which  amounted to  $849,071,  $800,971  and $848,654 for
          1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

          The Company's  obligations under these operating leases as of December
          31, 1995 for the next five years and thereafter are as follows:

           1996                                                   $   3,814,352

     b.   The  Company  acts as  trustee in  connection  with  property  that it
          manages and other  services  that it renders.  The funds held in trust
          and not reflected on the accompanying combined balance sheets amounted
          to  $35,888,352  and  $33,945,707  at  December  31,  1995  and  1994,
          respectively.

     c.   The Company had recorded, at December 31,  1994 and 1993, a $1,250,000
          reserve for  potential  assessments  that could result from a New York
          State  sales  tax  audit.  The  audit  was  completed  in 1995  and no
          assessment was made against the Company.  Accordingly,  the reserve of
          $1,250,000  was  reversed  and has been  reflected  as a reduction  of
          general and administrative  expenses in the accompanying 1995 combined
          statements of operations.

     d.   The Company is involved in litigation and disputes which are normal in
          the real estate  leasing  industry.  Management is of the opinion that
          the ultimate  liability,  if any, resulting from litigation,  will not
          have a material  adverse  effect on the Company's  combined  financial
          condition or results of operations.



6.   Related Parties:

     a.   The Company subleased office space to a business  partially owned by a
          person related to a stockholder of the Company.  The sublease  expired
          on February 28, 1994.

     b.   Amounts  owed to  certain  employees  for stock  they sold back to the
          Company  amounted to $200,000  at  December  31, 1995 and  $400,000 at
          December 31, 1994, and is included in other current liabilities.



7.   Savings Plan:

     The  Company  has a  contributory  savings  plan  for  the  benefit  of its
     employees.  It is the  intention  of the  Company  that  this plan meet all
     requirements for profit-sharing  plan  qualification  under Sections 401(a)
     and 401(b) of the Internal Revenue Code.  Employees may make  contributions
     of  up  to  16%  of  their  compensation.  The  Company  makes  a  matching
     contribution  equal  to a  maximum  of  50%  of the  first  6% of  employee
     compensation.  Participants  are always 100% vested in their  contributions
     while  they  vest  at 20% per  year  in  regards  to the  Company  matching
     contribution  for each year that they  perform over 1,000 hours of service.
     For the  years  ended  December  31,  1995,  1994 and 1993,  the  Company's
     matching contribution was $340,362, $208,572 and $197,884, respectively.


8.   Stock Options and Deferred Compensation Agreement:

     In 1994,  the Company  amended and  restated  its stock option and deferred
     compensation agreement ("Agreement") with certain employees.  The Agreement
     grants stock  options to purchase an  aggregate of 2,954,000  shares of the
     Company's  common  stock.  There  is no  limit  on the  amount  of  options
     available for grant. The options, which do not expire, fully vest only upon
     the occurrence of certain  defined events (an "Event").  The exercise price
     of the  options  is based  upon the  calculated  fair  market  value of the
     Company's  common  stock on the stock option  grant date.  At  December 31,
     1995,  the exercise  prices per share range from $5.75 to $13.28 for Edward
     S.  Gordon  Company,  Inc.  and from $0.00 to $0.126  for Edward S.  Gordon
     Company of New Jersey,  Inc.  The  Company  has the right to  prohibit  the
     exercise of the options by giving the option holder written notice prior to
     the  commencement  of the  exercise  period.  In the event that the Company
     prohibits  the  exercise  of stock it must pay the option  holder an amount
     equal to the excess of the fair market value of the consideration which the
     option  holder  would have  received  with  respect to the shares  upon the
     consummation  of the  Event  over the  exercise  price of the  shares.  The
     Company has also granted the same  employees  receiving  stock  options the

Notes to Combined Financial Statements, Continued


     right to receive  deferred  compensation  equal to their  pro-rata share of
     defined profit and loss upon termination of employment.  For certain option
     holders, the right to receive deferred  compensation vests in increments of
     20% on the  anniversary of the grant in each of the subsequent  five years.
     See Note 1.

     Information with respect to stock options granted is as follows:

       Options outstanding, January 1, 1993                          662,000

                                                                  -----------

       Options outstanding, December 31, 1994                      2,654,000
       Granted                                                       350,000

                                                                  -----------

       Options outstanding, December 31, 1995                      2,954,000
                                                                  ===========

     During  1995,  to  facilitate  tax  requirements  for certain  states,  the
     majority shareholder of the Company requested the minority  shareholders of
     Edward S. Gordon Company of New Jersey,  Inc. to exchange 395,000 shares of
     common stock for 350,000 stock options.  The options are  convertible  back
     into common stock of Edward S. Gordon Company of New Jersey, Inc. at a zero
     exercise price.



9.   Concentration of Risk:

     Business and Credit Concentration:

     Financial   instruments   which   potentially   subject   the   Company  to
     concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable.  No
     customer  accounted  for more  than  10% of the  Company's  total  accounts
     receivable at December 31,  1995. Accounts receivable from two customers at
     December 31,  1994 aggregated more than 10% of the Company's total accounts
     receivable  and  amounted to  $9,827,052.  The Company  generally  does not
     require  collateral  or  other  security  in  support  of  these  financial
     instruments with credit risk. The Company believes it mitigates these risks
     by dealing with a large number of customers and their  familiarity with the
     real estate leasing industry.

     Financial Risk:

     The  Company  maintains  its cash and cash  equivalents  at five  financial
     institutions which management believes are of high quality.

     Geographic Concentration:

     The  Company's  revenue  is  generated  primarily  in  the  New  York  City
     metropolitan area. This concentration imposes on the Company certain risks,
     which include local economic  conditions,  that are not within management's
     control.

Notes to Combined Financial Statements, Continued


10.  Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

     Cash and cash equivalents,  non-current  accounts  receivable,  non-current
     commissions  payable and variable  rate and  fixed-rate  notes  payable are
     reflected  in the  accompanying  balance  sheet at  amounts  considered  by
     management to reasonably  approximate fair value.  Management estimates the
     fair value of its long-term fixed rate notes payable using  discounted cash
     flow analysis based upon the Company's current borrowing rate for debt with
     similar maturities.



11.  Subsequent Event:

     Effective  June 30, 1996,  the Company agreed to sell certain fixed assets,
     contracts  and the Company name to the Insignia  Financial  Group Inc. (the
     "Acquiror") for $49,300,000 in cash, $24,450,000 in common stock options of
     the Acquiror plus a contingent  purchase  price feature.  This  transaction
     falls under the  definition  of an Event in the stock  option and  deferred
     compensation  agreement (Note 8). Therefore,  the outstanding stock options
     became  fully  vested  upon the  consummation  of the  sale.  The  Company,
     however,  prohibited the exercise of the stock options by giving the option
     holders  written notice before the  commencement of the exercise period and
     paying the option  holders an amount equal to the excess of the fair market
     value of the consideration  which the option holders would have received if
     the  exercise of the stock  options were not  prohibited  over the exercise
     price of the shares. This payment amounted to $40,278,570.

Insignia Financial Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

     On  June  30,  1996  ("Closing  Date"),   Insignia  Financial  Group,  Inc.
("Insignia" or the "Company") acquired substantially all of the assets of Edward
S.  Gordon Co.,  Inc.  and Edward S.  Gordon Co. of New  Jersey,  Inc.  ("ESG"),
pursuant to an Asset and Stock Purchase  Agreement (the "Agreement") dated as of
June 17, 1996 among Insignia Financial Group, Inc.,  Insignia Buyer Corporation,
Edward S. Gordon Company, Incorporated,  Edward S. Gordon Company of New Jersey,
Inc. and Edward S. Gordon.  The assets acquired included leases for office space
at four  locations  where ESG  operates  its  commercial  real estate  business,
together with related furniture,  fixtures and equipment. The Company intends to
continue such use of the acquired assets.

     The  purchase  price was $73.8  million of which $49.3  million was paid in
cash at closing,  and the  balance,  which was  determined  through  arms-length
negotiations,  paid through the  assumption of existing ESG stock  options.  The
cash portion of the purchase price was financed by borrowing under the Company's
syndicated  credit  facility with First Union National Bank of South Carolina as
Administrative Agent; and Lehman Commercial Paper, Inc., as Syndication Agent.

     ESG provides commercial property management services for approximately 25.5
million  square feet of office  space,  primarily  in the New York  metropolitan
area. The Company also provides commercial leasing,  tenant representation,  and
corporate  consulting  services for properties and tenants  primarily in the New
York,  New  Jersey  and  Connecticut  markets,  as well as  investment  sales of
commercial properties nationally.  ESG will operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Insignia.

     Insignia  acquired  substantially  all of the assets of  National  Property
Investors,  Inc. ("NPI") and certain of its affiliates for an aggregate purchase
price of approximately  $116 million  effective  January 22, 1996. The Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheet and Pro Forma Statement of Income herein also include
the effect of this acquisition.  The NPI acquisition was previously  reported on
by the filing of Form 8-K on February 5, 1996.

     The debt  instrument  used to  finance  the ESG and NPI  acquisitions  bear
interest at LIBOR plus 2.25 percent.  A 1/8 percentage point change in the prime
rate would have  approximately a $89,000 and $178,000 effect on earnings for the
six  months  ended June 30,  1996,  and for the year ended  December  31,  1995,
respectively.

     The following Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 1996, and
Pro Forma Condensed  Consolidated  Statements of Income for the six months ended
June 30,  1996,  and the year  ended  December  31,  1995,  gives  effect to the
acquisitions  of  substantially  all the assets of ESG and NPI by  Insignia,  as
effected at such date, in the case of the balance sheet,  or at the beginning of
such periods,  in the case of such pro forma statements of income. The pro forma
information is based on the historical financial statements of Insignia, ESG and
NPI, giving effect to the  transactions  under the purchase method of accounting
and the assumptions and adjustments in the  accompanying  Notes to Unaudited Pro
Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Since the ESG acquisition was
effected as of June 30, 1996 and the NPI  acquisition was prior to June 30, 1996
the historical Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 1996 properly
included such acquisitions.
 
     The pro forma statements have been prepared by management of Insignia based
upon the  financial  statements  of  Insignia,  ESG and  NPI.  These  pro  forma
statements  may not be  indicative  of the  results  that  actually  would  have
occurred if the  combination  had been in effect on the dates indicated or which
may be obtained in the future. The pro forma financial statements should be read
in  conjunction  with the financial  statements and notes of Insignia which were
included  in Form 10-K  filed  March 20,  1996 which is  incorporated  herein by
reference, of ESG included elsewhere herein, and NPI which were included in Form
S-3 filed on September 1, 1995.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income
 
 
 
Note 1    National Property Investors, Inc.:

          The pro forma  statement of income for the period  ended  December 31,
          1995  reflects  Insignia's  operations as if the NPI  acquisition  was
          consummated  effective  January 1, 1995.  NPI's audited  statements of
          income  are on a fiscal  year  ended  June 30;  the pro  forma  income
          statement  represents NPI's results of operations  (unaudited) for the
          year ended December 31, 1995.  The adjustment  column on the pro forma
          statement  of income  for the  period  ended  June 30,  1996  includes
          adjustments to Insignia's operations for the 21 days of NPI operations
          before the acquisition was consummated on January 22, 1996.
 
Note 2    Administrative savings:

          ESG incurred  expenses for executive  bonuses and personnel  expenses;
          the administrative  savings is generally attributable to not incurring
          these expenses on an ongoing basis.
 
Note 3    Deferred compensation and stock option plan compensation savings:

          The acquisition  transaction met the definition of an event in the ESG
          stock option and deferred  compensation  agreement;  therefore,  ESG's
          outstanding stock options became fully vested upon consummation of the
          sale.  However,  ESG  prohibited  the exercise of the stock options by
          giving the option holders  written notice before the  commencement  of
          the exercise  period and paying the option  holders an amount equal to
          the excess of the fair  market  value of the  consideration  which the
          option holders would have received if the exercise of the options were
          not prohibited over the exercise of the shares. The subsequent payment
          is represented in ESG's Condensed  Combined  Balance Sheet at June 30,
          1996 (Unaudited) as $40,278,570 due to deferred compensation and stock
          option   participants.   The  amounts  above  represent  the  deferred
          compensation and stock option plan expense incurred during each period
          and are not indicative of ongoing operations.
