Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)
(1) Organization, Business and Basis of Presentation
Greg Manning Auctions, Inc. together with its wholly owned subsidiaries Ivy &
Mader Philatelic Auctions, Inc. and Greg Manning Galleries, Inc. (collectively,
the Company), is a public auctioneer of collectibles including rare stamps,
stamp collections and stocks, and regularly conducts rare stamp auctions
bringing together purchasers and sellers located throughout the world. The
Company accepts property for sale at auctions from sellers on a consignment
basis, and earns a commission on the sale. In addition to stamps, the other
collectibles auctioned by the Company include trading cards and sports
memorabilia and other collectibles such as antiquities and rare coins. The
Company also sells collectibles by private treaty for a commission, and sells
its own inventory at auction, wholesale and retail.
The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1996 and
related consolidated statements of operations and retained earnings for the
three and nine months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 and consolidated statements
of Cash Flows for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 have been
prepared from the books and records maintained by the Company, in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b) of Regulation SB.
Accordingly, they do not include all information and disclosures required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring
nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. For
further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
disclosures thereto in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30,
1995 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
(2) Summary of Certain Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized by the Company when the rare stamps and collectibles
are sold and is represented by a commission received from the buyer and seller.
Auction commissions represent a percentage of the hammer price at auction sales
as paid by the buyer and the seller.
In addition to auction sales. the Company also sells via private treaty.
This occurs when an owner of property arranges with the Company to sell such
property to a third party at a privately negotiated price. In such a
transaction, the owner may set selling price parameters for the Company, or the
Company may solicit selling prices for the owner, and the owner may reserve the
right to reject any selling price. In certain transactions, the Company may be
requested to guarantee a fixed price to the owner, which would be payable
regardless of the actual sales price ultimately received. The Company recognizes
as private treaty revenue an amount equal to a percentage of the sales price, or
in the case of a guaranteed fixed price, the difference between the actual sales
price and the guaranteed fixed price when the properties are sold.
<PAGE>
GREG MANNING AUCTIONS, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, March 31, 1996 (Unaudited) -
Continued
The Company also sells its own inventory at auction, wholesale and retail.
Revenue with respect to these transactions is recognized at the time of the sale
and is billable.
The Company does not provide any guarantee with respect to the authenticity
of property offered for sale at auction. Each lot is sold as genuine and as
described by the Company in the catalog. However, when, in the opinion of a
competent authority mutually acceptable to the Company and the purchaser, a lot
is declared otherwise, the purchase price will be refunded in full if the lot is
returned to the Company within a specified period. In such event, the Company
will return such lot to the consignor before a settlement payment has been made
to such consignor for such lot. To date, returns have not been material. Large
collections are generally sold on an "as is" basis.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the
accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Business Segment
The company operates in one segment, the auctioning or private treaty sale
of rare stamps and other collectibles. Set forth below is a table of aggregate
sales of the Company, subdivided by source and market:

Goodwill
Goodwill primarily includes the excess purchase price paid over the fair
value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line
basis over forty years. Total accumulated amortization at March 31, 1996 was
$115,782. The recoverability of goodwill is evaluated at each balance sheet date
as events or circumstances indicate a possible inability to recover their
carrying amount. This evaluation is based on historical and projected results of
operations and gross cash flows for the underlying businesses.

Earnings (loss) per common and common equivalent share
Earnings (loss) per common and common equivalent share of the Company's
Common Stock ("Common Stock") is computed using the weighted average number of
common and common equivalent shares outstanding for each period. Primary and
fully diluted earnings per share are the same for the three months and nine
months ended March 31, 1996. Outstanding stock options and warrants for the nine
months ended March 31, 1995 were excluded from earnings per common share
computations because they are antidilutive.
(3) Inventories
Inventories as of March 31, 1996 consisted of the following:

</TABLE>
(4) Related-party Transactions
The Company accepts rare stamps and other collectibles for sale at
auction on a consignment basis from Collectibles Realty Management, Inc.,
("CRM") which owned approximately 29.4%, as of March 31, 1996, of the Company's
Common Stock. Such stamps and collectibles have been auctioned by the Company or
sold at private treaty under substantially the same terms as for third party
customers and the Company charges CRM a seller's commission for items valued at
under $100,000 per lot. In the case of auction, the hammer price of the sale,
less any seller's commission, is paid to CRM upon successful auction, and in the
case of private treaty, the net price after selling commissions is paid to CRM.
For the nine months ended March 31, 1996, such auction and private treaty sales
(net of commission) were not material.
(5) Debt
The Company is party to secured revolving credit and term loan facility
with Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. ("BBH&Co."). At March 31, 1996, borrowing
under the revolving credit facility and term loan totaled $4,510,000 and
$331,250 respectively. Absent a material adverse change or event of default as
determined by BBH&Co., BBH&Co. has agreed to provide the Company with a 120-day
notification period prior to issuing a demand for repayment, so long as the
Company is in compliance with certain financial and operating guidelines. The
Company believes that at March 31, 1996, it was in compliance with such
guidelines.

(6) Sale of Division
On August 23, 1995, the Company and Galleries entered into various
agreements with Charles G. Moore Americana, Ltd., pursuant to which Galleries
sold to Moore Americana all of the assets of the Galleries' Americana Division.
(Mr. Charles Moore was formerly the director of that division.) The purchase
price for the Americana Division consisted of (i) $210,000, payable over
approximately two years, commencing September 30, 1995, and (ii) the sale of
inventory, at an amount equal to the "original cost value" of such inventory (or
approximately $480,500), The inventory sale resulted in no gain or loss. The
$210,000 purchase price was accounted for as a direct reduction of goodwill.
(7) Purchase of Investments
In September, 1995 the Company acquired 13.1%, or 4,500,000 shares, of
the outstanding common shares of Prime International Products, Inc.("PICK"), the
parent company of Public Info/Comm Kiosk, Inc., which is primarily engaged in
the business of issuing prepaid telephone cards. As of March 31, 1996 the
Company owns 9.4%, or 4,112,289 shares of PICK. The stock is traded on the
electronic bulletin board under the symbol "PRMF". The shares acquired by the
Company are restricted shares and accordingly are subject to restrictions on
transferability. Greg Manning, the Company's President, Chief Executive Officer
and Chairman of the Board is a member of the Board of PICK.
In March, 1996 the Company acquired, for an aggregate purchase price of
$200,000, 200,000 common shares of Internet Channel, Inc., which is engaged in
the business of high speed Internet applications and overall expansion of
Internet access. The shares acquired by the Company are restricted shares and
accordingly are subject to restrictions on transferability. Internet Channel is
not currently a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and
there is currently no public trading market for any of its shares of common
stock.

(9) Subsequent Event
At May 14, 1996, the Company is negotiating to enter into a definitive
joint venture agreement with P.C.T. Prepaid Cellular Telephone Inc., a
majority-owned subsidiary of PICK, pursuant to which the companies would work
together to provide prepaid cellular telephone time and leased cellular
telephones for a single up-front fee. It is anticipated that the Company, in an
addition to providing capital, would provide sales and marketing services to the
venture, which is expected to service seven states in the mid-Atlantic region
and Washington, D.C.
The proposed transaction is subject to various conditions and approvals,
including the preparation of definitive documentation, and there can be no
assurance that the venture will be consummated.
As noted above, Greg Manning, the Company's President, Chief Executive
Officer and Chairman of the Board, is a member of the Board of PICK.
<PAGE>
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
Results of Operations
GENERAL
The Company's revenues are represented by the sum of (a) the proceeds
from the sale of the Company's inventory, and (b) the portion of sale proceeds
from auction or private treaty that the Company is entitled to retain after
remitting the sellers' share, consisting primarily of commissions paid by
sellers and buyers. Generally, the Company earns a commission from the seller of
10% to 15% (although the commission may be slightly lower on high value
properties). During the nine month period ended March 31, 1996, the Company
earned a commission of 15% from the buyers in all markets except for sports
cards which is a 10% premium.
The Company's operating expenses consist of the cost of sales of the
Company's inventory and such expenses directly incurred by the Company relating
to general and administrative expenses and marketing expenses for the nine
months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995. General and administrative expenses are
incurred to pay employees and to provide support and services to those
employees, including the physical facilities and data processing. Marketing
expenses are incurred to promote the services of the Company to sellers and
buyers of collectibles through advertising and public relations, producing and
distributing its auction catalogs and conducting auctions.
<PAGE>
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 COMPARED WITH THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
1995
The Company recorded a decrease in revenues of $163,459 (5%), from
$3,510,747 for the three months ended March 31, 1995 to $3,347,288 for the three
months ended March 31, 1996. This decrease was primarily attributable to the
decrease in revenues from the sale of the Company's inventories of $46,796 (2%)
and commission revenue of $115,213 (16%) for the three month period ended March
31, 1996 compared to the prior year.
OPERATING EXPENSES The Company's operating expenses totaled $1,333,950
exclusive of cost of merchandise sold, for the three months ended March 31,
1996, and represented a decrease of $97,545 (7%) from $1,431,495 for the three
months ended March 31, 1995. The decrease in General and Administrative costs by
the Company is due to both the sale of the Galleries' Americana Division, and
the certain costs associated with it, and economies obtained in centralizing
various operations into one location. Management feels that permanent cost
containment can continue, which includes the reductions in marketing costs
pertaining to auctions and generally better economies of scale.
Interest expense increased by $46,848 in the three months ended March 31,
1996 compared to the three months ended March 31, 1995 primarily as a result of
the higher average daily borrowings for the comparable period. The borrowing
under the Company's secured revolving credit facility are utilized to support
the operations of the Company, including the advances to consignors, auctions
receivables and merchandise inventories.
Gross margins on the sales of the Company's inventory decreased by $252,719
(36%) in the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to the three months
ended March 31, 1995. This decrease in margins was primarily attributable to the
above mentioned decrease in the sales of merchandise and the reduction of gross
margin percent from 25% for the three months ended March 31, 1995 to 16% for the
three months ended March 31, 1996.
Net Income: The Company recorded income before income taxes of $614,017 for
the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to $34,715 for the three months
ended March 31, 1995. The increase in income was primarily due to a pretax gain
from the sale of certain investment securities of $987,000, offset by the
operating loss of $275,678 primarily caused by the reductions in gross margins
as outlined above.
<PAGE>
NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 COMPARED WITH THE NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
1995
The Company recorded an increase in revenues of $1,183,877 (14%) to
$9,354,231 for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to revenues of
$8,170,354 for the comparable period ended March 31, 1995. This increase was
primarily attributable to the $1,277,673 (21%) increase in revenues from the
sale of the Company's inventories to $7,477,911 for the nine months ended March
31, 1996 over the comparable period from the prior year.
OPERATING EXPENSES: The Company's total operating expenses exclusive of the cost
of merchandise sold, was $3,740,803 for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 and
represented a decrease of $273,065 (7%) from $4,013,868 for the nine months
ended March 31, 1995. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in marketing
costs of $118,750 for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 compared the
comparable period for the prior year. Further reductions in the general and
administrative areas are anticipated in connection with ongoing cost containment
programs.
Interest expense increased by $111,990 for the nine months ended March 31,
1996 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 1995 due to the effective
borrowing rate during the nine months ended March 31, 1996 was approximately 15%
higher than for the same period for the prior year. In addition, the borrowing
requirements increased to support increased receivables and inventories have
increased during the nine months ended March 31, 1996 compared to the nine
months ended March 31, 1995.
Gross margins on the sales of the Company's inventory declined by $252,846
(from 25% to 18%) for the nine months ended March 31, 1995 from the comparable
nine month period ended March 31, 1995. The decline in gross margin percentages
was partially offset by the increase in sales of inventory of as discussed above
for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 compared to the prior year's comparable
period.
NET INCOME: The Company recorded income before income taxes of $336,185 for
the nine months ended March 31, 1996 compared to loss before taxes of $464,886
for the nine months ended March 31, 1995. The increase in income was primarily
due to a pretax gain from the sale of certain investment securities of
$1,067,000, offset by the operating loss of $539,087 primarily caused by the
reductions in gross margins as outlined above.
<PAGE>
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At March 31, 1996, the Company's working capital position was $3,349,904,
compared to $2,144,596 as of June 30, 1995. This increase of $1,205,308 was
primarily due to an increase in inventories purchased for future auctions
($1,444,896). This increase in inventories was offset by an increase in accounts
payable of $799,469 during this same period. These items were the material cause
of the negative cash flow from operating activities of $1,067,303.
The Company experienced a positive cash flow from investing activities for
the nine months ended March 31, 1996 of $498,021. This was primarily
attributable to the sale of 360,000 shares of Prime International Products, Inc.
("PICK") for $1,008,000 after purchasing of 4,500,000 shares of PICK in the
amount of $260,000 and 200,000 shares of Internet Channel, Inc. in the amount of
$200,000.
The Company experienced an increase in cash flow from financing
activities for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 of $497,769. This was
primarily attributable to the Company receiving net proceeds of $1,165,920 from
the issuance of stock from the exercise of warrants associated with the
November, 1994 Private Placement offering and the June, 1995 Regulation S
offering. This was offset by the Company reducing certain debt in the amount of
$668,151.
At May 14, 1996, the Company is negotiating to enter into a definitive
joint venture agreement with P.C.T. Prepaid Cellular Telephone, Inc. a
majority-owned subsidiary of PICK, pursuant to which the companies would work
together to provide prepaid cellular telephone time and leased cellular
telephones for a single up-front fee. It is anticipated that the Company, in
addition to providing capital, would provide sales and marketing services to the
venture, which is expected to service seven states in the mid-Atlantic region
and Washington, D.C. The proposed transaction is subject to various conditions
and approvals, including the preparation of definitive documentation, and there
can be no assurance that the venture will be consummated.
The Company's need for liquidity and working capital is expected to
increase if the above described venture is consumated or otherwise as a result
of any other proposed business expansion activities. In addition to the need for
such capital, and to enhance the Company's ability to offer cash advances to a
larger number of potential consignors of property (which management believes is
an important aspect of the marketing of an auction business), the Company will
likely require additional working capital in the future in order to further
expand its sports trading card and sports memorabilia auction business as well
as to acquire collectibles for sale in the Company's business.
Management believes that the Company's cash flow from ongoing operations
supplemented by the Company's working capital credit facilities will be adequate
to fund the Company's working capital requirements for the next 12 months.
However, to complete any of the Company's proposed expansion activities or to
make any significant acquisitions, the Company may consider exploring financing
alternatives including increasing its working capital credit facilities or
raising additional debt or equity capital.
The decision to expand, the desired rate of expansion, and the areas of
expansion will be determined by management and the Board of Directors only after
careful consideration of all relevant factors, including the Company's financial
resources and working capital needs, and needs to continue its growth and
position in its core business area of stamp auctions.

On November 4, 1994, in a private placement to certain "accredited"
investors (the "Purchasers"), the Company sold 257,500 shares of its common
stock at $2.00 per share. For the purchase price, each Purchaser also received a
warrant to purchase, through May 3, 1996, one share of the Company's common
stock at an exercise price of $2.25 per share subject to certain adjustments. In
connection with the private placement, the Company also issued 45,063 warrants
to the placement agents of such private placement, with each warrant entitling
the holder to purchase, through November 4, 1999. a share of the Company's
common stock at $2.80 per share subject to certain adjustments, Net proceeds to
the Company of the private placement, after expenses, amounted to approximately
$336,000. On March 22, 1995 the terms of the Purchaser Warrants were amended to
lower the exercise price from $2.225 to $1.75 per share and to extend the
exercise period by six months to May 3, 1996. As a result of the Regulation S
offering referred to below, holders of Purchaser warrants were entitled to an
adjustment in the exercise price of the Purchaser Warrants from $1.75 to $1.5528
and to an adjustment in the number of shares for which the Purchaser Warrants
are exercisable from one share per Purchaser Warrant. The Company registered
such shares and the shares underlying the Purchaser Warrants under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Regulation S offering also resulted in a
reduction of the exercise price of, and concomitant increase in the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable under the warrants issued to the placement
agents in the private placement.
On June 29, 1995, the Company consummated an offshore offering for the sale
of 500,000 units of its securities (The "Regulation S Offering"). For a purchase
price of $1.50 per unit, each purchaser received one share of the Company's
Common Stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock at $1.50 for
two years from the date of issuance. The warrant contains standard antidilution
provisions in case of recapitalization, consolidation or merger, and stock
dividends or splits. Regulation S Offering was made solely to certain offshore
investors in compliance with, and under the exemption to registration provided
by, Regulation under the Securities Act of 1933. Net proceeds to the Company
after expenses amounted to approximately $721,000. At March 31, 1996 all of
these warrants had been exercised and the Company received an additional
$750,000 in gross proceeds.
As a result of the Regulation S Offering, certain adjustments were made
to Callable Stock Purchase Warrants (the "Public Warrants") issued to the public
in connection with the Company's May, 1993 initial public offering and the Unit
Purchase Warrants issued to the underwriters in that offering. Holders of the
Public Warrants were entitled to an adjustment in the exercise price of these
Public Warrants from $3.475 to $2.7733 each and to an adjustment in the number
of shares for which the warrants are exercisable from one share per Public
Warrant to 1.24 shares each. Underwriters holding Unit Purchase Warrants were
entitled to an adjustment in the exercise price of these units from $10.31 to
$7.0893 each and to an adjustment in the number of units for which the warrants
are exercisable from one unit per Unit Purchase Warrant to 1.45431 units each.
Each Unit Purchase Warrant consists of two shares of the Company's common stock,
$.01 par value per share and two Callable Stock Purchase Warrants, each to
purchase one share of Common Stock.
In February 1996, the Company issued to an individual in a private
placement a warrant to purchase, at any time prior to March 1, 1997, 400,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share.
The purchase price for the warrant was $100,000, which was paid in full in
April, 1996. Upon request of the investor, the Company has agreed to register
the shares of Common Stock underlying the warrant under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, the cost of which (other than allocable overhead) will be
borne by the investor.
Proceeds from the future exercise of the above warrants will be used to
fund the Company's working capital requirements.
