        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 services company specializing in the ownership and operation of
     securitized  real estate assets  throughout  the United  States.  As a full
     service real estate  management  organization,  Insignia  performs property
     management,  asset management,  investor services,  partnership accounting,
     real  estate  investment  banking and real estate  brokerage  services  for
     various types of property owners.

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 three month period ended March 31, 1997 are not necessarily  indicative
     of the results that may be expected  for the year ended  December 31, 1997.
     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, 1996.

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.

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
     of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("FAS 128"),  Earnings Per Share.
     FAS 128, which is required to be adopted on December 31, 1997,  will change
     the method  currently  used to compute  earnings  per share.  Under the new
     requirements,  the current  primary  earnings per share will be replaced by
     basic  earnings  per  share,  which  excludes  all  dilutive  common  stock
     equivalents.  The impact is  expected  to result in an increase in earnings
     per share of $.01 for the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and March 31, 1996,
     respectively.  The impact of FAS 128 on the  calculation  of fully  diluted
     earnings per share for these quarters is not expected to be material.

4.   The following is a summary of the Company's  material  contingencies  as of
     March 31, 1997:

     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.

     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  Street,  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 Street.

     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,

<PAGE>

     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  the second
     amended and consolidated  class action complaint.  That motion was heard by
     the court in December 1996.

     On December 18, 1996 the court issued a decision granting Insignia's motion
     to dismiss.  By order dated January 7, 1997 the court  dismissed the second
     amended and consolidated class action complaint with prejudice.  Plaintiffs
     filed a notice of appeal in the Dee action on February 14, 1997.

     The Company  understands  that the United States  Department of Housing and
     Urban  Development  ("HUD")  has filed a civil  lawsuit  against one of the
     third party, unaffiliated owners of affordable housing to which the Company
     provides  management  services.  The  complaint  alleges  that  the  owner,
     Associated Financial Corporation ("AFC") of Los Angeles,  California, whose
     chairman  is A.  Bruce  Rozet,  had  improperly  received  monies  from  17
     properties managed by the Company over a period of approximately six years.
     The allegations  include statutory  violations which could, if proven, give
     rise to double and  treble  damages  as well as civil  penalties  for false
     filings.  The Company was not named as a defendant in the suit. The Company
     has no ownership interest in any of the properties or partnerships that are
     the subject of the  complaint and is not  affiliated  with AFC. The Company
     has managed approximately 75 properties (approximately 8,600 units) for AFC
     since 1991 when the Company succeeded to the existing  management  contract
     portfolio as part of its acquisition of substantially  all of the assets of
     U.S. Shelter Corporation.  The Company believes that it earns approximately
     $1.6 million per year in EBITDA from the management of the entire portfolio
     of AFC  properties.  HUD has stated  that the  payments  to AFC from 1990 -
     April 1995 at issue aggregate nearly $5 million.

     The Company has  received  assurances  over the course of the past  several
     years that its  activities  were in  compliance  with laws and  regulations
     applicable to the Company's role as property manager.  The Company does not
     believe  the  matters at issue will have a material  adverse  effect on its
     financial condition. Moreover, in connection with the Company's acquisition
     of  materially  all the assets of U.S.  Shelter  Corporation,  the  Company
     received  certain  representations,  warranties  and  indemnities  from the
     seller which  included the propriety of the subject  contract.  The Company
     has  given  notice  to  the  seller  that  the  Company   intends  to  seek
     indemnification  for this matter should the Company incur any loss,  damage
     or expense related  thereto.  The Company cannot predict whether or not the
     seller will contest such indemnification.

     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.   Property Dispositions

     In November  1994,  the Company  acquired  substantially  all of the assets
     (consisting  primarily of management contracts) of Allegiance Realty Group,
     a wholly owned subsidiary of the Balcor Company, Inc. ("Balcor").

<PAGE>

     Balcor  announced  in the second  quarter of 1996 its  intention  to sell a
     large portion of the properties covered by these management contracts.  The
     Company entered into an agreement with Balcor whereby an advisory fee would
     be paid to the Company based on the property sales for services rendered in
     the sales transactions.  The Advisory Agreements have terms of one year and
     the fees range from .75% to 1.25% of the sales price of the  property.  The
     fees are and  will  continue  to be paid in cash  after  the  close of each
     transaction.   Presently,   all  unamortized   management   contract  costs
     associated  with the completed  property  sales have been fully  recovered.
     Management  believes  that  the  unamortized  purchase  price  relating  to
     properties managed for Balcor properly reflects the asset value and that no
     impairment exists.

6.   Acquisition of  Rostenberg-Doern  Company,  Inc. and HMB Property Services,
     Inc.

     In the first  quarter of 1997,  the Company  completed  the purchase of two
     commercial brokerage and property management companies.  Both were acquired
     on  February  28,  1997.  The  aggregate  purchase  price  paid  for  these
     businesses  was  $2.9  million  consisting  of  approximately  $700,000  in
     management  contract  rights,  $2.2  million  of cost in  excess  of assets
     acquired  and  $40,000  for  purchased  capital  items.   Assuming  certain
     qualified  revenue   requirements  are  met,   contingent  payments  up  to
     approximately  $1.3 million could be paid to the sellers in relation to the
     Rostenberg   acquisition.   These   acquisitions   are   collectively   and
     individually   insignificant   to  the  Company  under  the  provisions  of
     Regulation S-X, therefore, pro forma disclosures are not required.

7.   Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

     In the first quarter of 1997, the Company completed the renegotiation of an
     amendment to its revolving  credit  facility,  increasing  the credit limit
     from $200 million to $275 million.  The amended  revolving  credit facility
     involves  a  syndicate   of  14  national   and   international   financial
     institutions.  The Company currently has $43 million  outstanding under the
     credit facility.

8.   Trust Based Convertible Preferred Securities

     In November 1996, Insignia Financing I, a Delaware trust and a wholly owned
     subsidiary of the Company (the "Trust"),  issued and sold 2,990,000  shares
     of Trust Based Convertible  Preferred Securities (the "Securities") with an
     aggregate liquidation amount of $149.5 million, sold pursuant to exemptions
     under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules thereunder. All
     of the outstanding common Securities of the Trust are owned by the Company.
     The sole asset of the Trust is the $154.1 million  principal amount of 6.5%
     convertible  subordinated debentures of the Company due September 30, 2016.
     The Company has certain obligations relating to the Securities which amount
     to a full and unconditional  guarantee of the Trust's obligations under the
     Securities.  The debentures issued and the common  securities  purchased by
     the Company  are  eliminated  in the balance  sheet.  The  Securities  bear
     interest  at the  rate of 6.5%  per  annum,  with  quarterly  distributions
     payable in arrears.  The Company has the option to defer interest  payments
     from time to time,  not to exceed 20  consecutive  quarters.  The Company's
     first quarter  distribution of approximately $2.4 million was made on March
     31,  1997,  and is  reflected  in minority  interests  in the  consolidated
     statements.  The  Securities  are  convertible  into the Company's  Class A
     Common  Stock at $26.50 per share  beginning  60 days after the  Securities
     first  issuance  date through  September  30, 2016,  or upon the  Company's
     option to redeem the Securities  after November 1, 1999. The Securities are
     structured such that the distributions are tax deductible to the Company.

9.   During  the first  three  months of 1997,  the  Company  had the  following
     changes in the equity accounts:

     a)   Exercise of 141,546  stock  options and 50,000  warrants  representing
          191,546 shares of Class A Common Stock at exercise prices ranging from
          $1.88 to $13.69 per share.

     b)   Net income of $2,004,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997.

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

Financial Condition

     The Company posted strong  results for the first quarter of 1997,  with net
EBITDA  increasing  46% from $9.9 million in the first  quarter of 1996 to $14.4
million for the first quarter of 1997.  The Company uses Net EBITDA as a primary
indicator of  financial  performance.  Net EBITDA is defined as earnings  before
interest,  taxes,  depreciation and amortization  ("EBITDA") combined with funds
from  operations  ("FFO")  less  interest  expense  and  earnings  allocable  to
preferred securities. Additionally, EBITDA for the service company increased 30%
from $9.5 million to $12.3  million while FFO increased 80% from $3.4 million to
$6.1 million for the first quarter of 1997.

     The  Company  closed two  acquisitions  in the first  quarter of 1997.  HMB
Property   Services,   Inc.   ("HMB")   and   Rostenberg-Doern   Company,   Inc.
("Rostenberg") were purchased on February 28, 1997 for an approximate  aggregate
purchase  price  of  $2.9  million  with  approximately  $700,000  allocated  to
management  contracts,  $2.2  million  allocated  to costs in  excess  of assets
acquired  representing  client  relationships  and $40,000 for purchased capital
assets.  HMB and Rostenberg added  approximately  2.4 million square feet to the
existing  commercial  portfolio.  These  acquisitions  bring the total number of
properties  managed  at March  31,  1997,  to  approximately  2,500  with  total
commercial  square feet of  approximately  137.2 million and the total number of
residential  units managed to approximately  255,000.  The acquisition  purchase
prices were paid with cash currently on hand.  These  acquisitions had little or
no impact on the operating  results for first quarter of 1997.  Assuming certain
qualified revenue  requirements are met, contingent payments up to approximately
$1.3  million  could  be paid  to the  sellers  in  relation  to the  Rostenberg
acquisition.

     Cash and cash  equivalents  increased in the first quarter of 1997 by $15.2
million  from  the  end  of  1996.   The  increased  cash  holdings  is  due  to
distributions  received of approximately  $12.2 million from Insignia Properties
Trust ("IPT") and other limited partnership  interests,  in the first quarter of
1997  as  well  as  $16.1  million  received  from a real  estate  co-investment
representing the Company's  portion of refinancing  proceeds  distributed to the
owners.  Increased  acquisition  activity,   income  tax  payments  and  accrued
compensation payments offset the cash distributions  received from the Company's
investments  in real  estate  limited  partnerships  and other  securities.  The
increase in the  Company's  cash  position has enabled  much of the  acquisition
funding to be made with cash on hand as  opposed  to  drawing  on the  Company's
recently increased revolving credit facility.

     Receivables  increased  14% from $46 million at December  31, 1996 to $52.5
million at March 31, 1997.  The increase is primarily  due to increased  leasing
activity  transactions  which are to be  collected at future dates as defined in
the terms of the individual brokerage agreements.

     FFO attributable to real estate  investments  increased 80% to $6.1 million
for  the  first  quarter  of  1997.  FFO  from   investments  in  those  limited
partnerships  now included in IPT increased 53% to $5.2 million,  while FFO from
co-investment ventures was $928,000 for the first quarter of 1997. A refinancing
of one of the Company's  co-investment  deals occurred on February 28, 1997. Had
the refinancing  occurred on January 1, 1997, FFO results from the co-investment
venture would have decreased by $268,000.  The Company's  co-investment  program
involves the co-investing by Insignia in the equity of real properties  acquired
by its third party institutional customers. In connection with this program, the
Company  generally  receives its  pro-rata  share of income,  a promoted  equity
interest,  and servicing  rights  relative to the assets  throughout the holding
period.  A  significant   portion  of  IPT's  FFO  growth  was  attributable  to
acquisition  growth,  including  the NPI  acquisition  in late  January 1996 and
additional  purchases  of interests in the  partnerships  during 1996.  However,
comparable  property  growth  was 23%,  as 5%  revenue  growth  along  with flat
operating expenses permitted NOI growth of 9%. Major maintenance  expense on the
properties  owned  by the  partnerships  declined  in the  first  quarter  1997.
Insignia believes that future revenue growth may be hampered by more competitive
markets  with lower  occupancies  and  increased  concessions,  particularly  in
southeastern markets.

     The Company's  investments  in real estate limited  partnerships  and other
securities  decreased  $24  million.  This  represents  a  decrease  of 16% from
December 31, 1996.  The decrease is a direct  result of  distributions  received
from the partnerships in which the Company holds limited  partnership  interests
through IPT, co-investments and other limited partnership interests.

     Management  contracts  decreased  by $6.8  million  from $122.9  million at
December  31,  1996 to $116.1  million  at March  31,  1997,  representing  a 6%
decrease.  The decrease in the first quarter of 1997 is due to the  amortization
of  management  contracts.  Even though there were several  acquisitions  in the
first quarter of 1997,  the assets  acquired were primarily  purchased  goodwill
representing client relationships as opposed to management contracts.

     The change in accrued and sundry liabilities primarily relates to the first
quarter  payment of bonuses and income taxes  accrued at December  31, 1996,  as
well as the continued  payments of acquisition  liabilities.  Accrued and sundry
liabilities decreased $8.6 million, a 21% decrease from the end of 1996.

Results of Operations

     All major  components of  operational  results for the first quarter showed
large  increases  over the first quarter of 1996  primarily due to  acquisitions
that have closed over the past twelve  months as well as new business  ventures.
Even though the recent  acquisitions have not materially  impacted results,  Net
EBITDA increased 46% over the first quarter of 1996. Net EBITDA per common share
increased 29% to $.44. EBITDA increased 30% to $12.3 million while FFO increased
80% to $6.1  million.  Financial  expenses,  including  interest and trust based
preferred dividends increased 35% to $4.1 million.

     Total revenue increased $27.7 million,  a 69% increase over 1996. Total fee
based service  revenue  increased by $28 million,  a 77% increase over 1996. The
increase was primarily in the  commercial  segment of the Company due to the ESG
and Paragon  acquisitions  which  occurred on June 30, 1996.  In addition to the
growth from  acquisitions  since the first quarter of 1996, both the residential
and  commercial  groups set records for new  management  assignments  from third
party owners during the first quarter of 1997 gaining  approximately  6200 units
and 7.1 million square feet from new business.

     Interest income  decreased  $185,000 or 20% from March 31, 1996 as compared
to the same period in 1997.  This variance is primarily due to a note receivable
held for a small  portion of the first  quarter of 1996 in  relation  to the NPI
acquisition.  The note was  repaid in January  1996 with  $130,000  of  interest
income recorded in the first quarter of 1996. No comparable note exists in 1997.

     Revenue from  apartment  property has decreased  $295,000 or 16% from March
31,  1996 as  compared  to the same  period  in 1997.  The  decrease  correlates
directly  to the  sale of a  property  since  the  first  quarter  of 1996  that
contributed  to this type of revenue.  In 1997,  apartment  property  operations
reflect one property as opposed to two in 1996.

     Fee based  service  expenses  increased  95% or $25.2  million in the first
quarter of 1997 as compared to the first  quarter of 1996. As with the fee based
service revenues, fee based service expenses increased in the commercial segment
of the  Company  as a direct  result of the  commercial  acquisitions  that have
occurred  since  the  first  quarter  of 1996.  Other  segments  of the  Company
experienced little change in expense levels from the first quarter of 1996.

     Administrative  expenses  remained constant in the first quarter of 1997 as
compared  to the same  quarter of 1996.  The  Company's  ability to  efficiently
absorb   acquisitions   into   its   existing   administrative   and   corporate
infrastructure is responsible for the steady expense level.

     Interest expense decreased 44% or $1.3 million in the first quarter of 1997
as compared to the first quarter of 1996. This decrease  correlates  directly to
the  reduction  in  borrowing  from  $123.1  million at March 31,  1996 to $49.6
million at March 31, 1997.

     Apartment property expense,  interest and depreciation all decreased in the
first  quarter of 1997 as compared to the first  quarter of 1996.  The reduction
relates  primarily to the sale of one of the  properties  in 1996.  In the first
quarter of 1997,  apartment property  operations reflect one property as opposed
to two.

     Depreciation and  amortization  increased $2.5 million in the first quarter
of 1997 as  compared  to the  same  time  period  in  1996,  representing  a 54%
increase.  The increase is directly  related to the growth in the Company  since
the

<PAGE>

first quarter of 1996. With the acquisitions occurring after March 31, 1996, the
increase  in  amortizable  assets  has  caused  the  corresponding  increase  in
depreciation and amortization expense.

     Equity earnings for the first three months ended March 31, 1997 reflects an
increase of $1.6 million,  a 111% change,  as compared to the three months ended
March 31, 1996.  The increase is primarily  due to: 1) equity  earnings from the
investments in co-investments;  2) the prorated ownership of National Properties
Investors partnerships in 1996 compared to the full ownership in 1997 due to the
purchase  of NPI  occurring  in the first  quarter  of 1996 and 3) the  improved
results of the partnerships as discussed in the Financial  Condition  section on
FFO above.
 
     Minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries increased $3.4 million from
1996 to 1997.  Minority  interest as of March 31, 1997  consists of dividends of
$2.4 million on trust based convertible preferred securities and $1.2 million in
charges resulting from  distributions made by majority owned subsidiaries to the
holders of minority  equity  interests  (which caused the minority owner to then
have negative equity).  Generally accepted  accounting  principles requires such
charges to be taken by the majority owner on the  presumption  that the negative
equity  of the  minority  owner on an  historical  book  value  basis  cannot be
recovered by the majority owner.

     The income tax  provision  increased 3% primarily due to an increase in the
effective  tax rate from 38% to 40%  because of changes in assets  acquired  and
their tax bases as determined by the  structure of the purchase  agreements  for
acquisitions  closed in the past twelve  months and higher state tax rates where
these acquisitions occured.

     Primarily as a result of the foregoing,  net income stayed  relatively flat
for the first quarter of 1997 as compared to 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company has several  sources  available  for  capital,  primarily  cash
generated from operations, distributions from IPT and partnerships and available
credit from the recently  renegotiated  $275 million  revolving credit facility.
The renegotiated  credit facility not only increased the cash sources  available
to the Company by $75 million,  but also reduced  associated  fees. At March 31,
1997, there was $43 million  outstanding under the facility.  As a result of the
Company's ability to generate cash from operations,  and such additional sources
the cash  balances grew from $54.6 million at December 31, 1996 to $69.8 million
at March 31,  1997.  The Company  uses net EBITDA as an indicator of its working
capital  generated from  operations.  Net EBITDA increased 46% from $9.9 million
for the first  quarter of 1996 to $14.4  million for the first  quarter of 1997.
The chart specifically  identifies the sources of net EBITDA and how the numbers
for the two quarters are derived.

     With the working  capital  generated  through the operations of the Company
and the availability under the revolving credit facility,  the Company feels its
capital  resources are adequate.  The Company's  funding needs are reassessed as
acquisitions are identified and pursued.

Subsequent Events 

Acquisitions

     The Company has closed two acquisitions  since the end of the first quarter
of 1997.  The purchase of Frain,  Camins and  Schwartzchild  ("FC&S")  closed on
April 1, 1997 while  certain  management  rights were  acquired from The Related
Group of Florida  ("RTF") on April 29, 1997.  The aggregate  purchase  price for
these  acquisitions  was  approximately  $14  million  allocated  to  management
contracts,   cost  in  excess  of  assets  acquired  and  capital  assets.   The
acquisitions  were financed with notes  aggregating  approximately  $8.5 million
with the remainder paid from cash on hand.  Assuming certain  qualified  revenue
requirements  are met, a maximum of $4.5 million could be paid to the sellers of
FC&S  over  a  three  year  period.  The  acquisitions  increase  the  Company's
commercial  portfolio  by more than 12 million  square feet and the  residential
portfolio by approximately 10,300 units.

Business Combination

     On April 3, 1997,  Insignia and Angeles Mortgage  Investment Trust ("AMIT")
entered into a  non-binding  agreement in principle  contemplating,  among other
things, a business  combination of AMIT and Insignia Properties Trust, an entity
owned 98% by Insignia and its affiliates  ("IPT").  It is  anticipated  that the
resulting  combined entity would be owned  approximately 82% by Insignia and its
affiliates and 18% by the  pre-combination  AMIT shareholders,  of which 16% are
affiliates of Insignia. The proposed transaction is contingent upon, among other
things, satisfactory review of the business,  operations,  properties and assets
of AMIT and IPT, the negotiation and execution of definitive  agreements and the
approval of the proposed transaction by the trustees and shareholders of each of
AMIT and IPT.

Stock Repricing and Related Amendments

   
     On April 18, 1997, the Company  approved the repricing of certain  employee
stock  options  issued over the prior year.  The 183,750  options  involved were
issued primarily to new employees joining the Company through acquisitions,  and
no options issued to members of senior management were subject to repricing. The
Company believes that this repricing is important to its employee  retention and
incentive  programs.  The repriced  options have an exercise price of $17.50 per
share over the five year vesting period, compared to a weighted average exercise
price of $23.65 prior to the repricing.  On April 30, 1997, the Company approved
amendments  to  the  Certificate  of  Incorporation,   as  amended,  authorizing
50,000,000 additional shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share,
and to the 1992 Stock Incentive Plan  increasing the aggregate  number of shares
of Common Stock authorized from 4,666,666 to 5,250,000.
