REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Teletrade, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Teletrade, Inc. as of December
31, 1997, and the related  statements of operations,  shareholders'  deficit and
cash  flows  for  the  year  then  ended.  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 audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards  require that we plan and perform our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Teletrade,  Inc. as of December
31, 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                DECEMBER 31, 1997

Note 1. - Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a)  Nature of Business

         The  Company  is  a  public  auctioneer  of  collectibles,  principally
         certified  coins,  trading  cards and sports  memorabilia.  The Company
         accepts  property for sale at auctions  from  sellers on a  consignment
         basis,  and earns a  commission  on the sale.  All bidding  takes place
         through touch-tone  telephones or personal  computers  connected to the
         Company's computerized auction system.  Revenues are also earned on the
         auction sale of the Company's inventory.

(b)  Revenue Recognition

         Commission and fee revenues are recognized when  commissions are earned
         from the buyer and seller on the sale of collectibles.

(c)  Auction Accounts Receivable

         Auction  accounts  receivable  represent  the amounts  receivable  from
         buyers for auctioned  collectibles,  commissions and fees, shipping and
         delivery expenses and certification charges.

(d)  Advances to Consignors

         Advance  payments,  or loans to  consignors  prior to auction sales are
         secured  by the items  received  by the  Company  for  auction  and the
         proceeds from such sales.

(e)  Inventory

         Inventory, primarily coins and sports cards received from consignors in
         payment of  commissions  and other  fees and  inventory  purchased  for
         resale, is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by
         specific identification.

(f)  Property and Equipment

         Property and  equipment are carried at cost.  Depreciation  is computed
         under the Modified  Accelerated  Cost Recovery  System  ("MACRS")  over
         prescribed  lives,  which  results  in  no  material  differences  from
         generally accepted  accounting  principles.  When assets are retired or
         otherwise  disposed of, the cost and related  accumulated  depreciation
         are  removed  from the  accounts.,  and any  resulting  gain or loss is
         recognized  in  operations  for the  period.  The cost of  repairs  and
         maintenance is charged to operations as incurred.

(g)  Intangible Assets

         Intangible  assets are carried at cost.  Amortization is computed using
         an accelerated  method for intangible  assets  acquired  pursuant to an
         Asset Purchase  Agreement  dated January 4, 1993 and the  straight-line
         method for organization costs.


                                       9

(h)  Income Taxes

         The  Company  has  elected  to be taxed as an S  corporation  under the
         applicable  provisions  of  Federal  and New York  State tax laws.  The
         shareholders  are liable for individual  federal and state income taxes
         on their  share  of the  Company's  taxable  income.  Accordingly,  the
         accompanying  financial  statements  do not  include  a  provision  for
         federal or state income taxes.

(i)  Use of Estimates

         The  preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally
         accepted  accounting  principles  requires management to make estimates
         and assumptions  that affect certain  reported amounts and disclosures.
         Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 2 - Property and Equipment

         Major  classifications  of property and equipment  and their  estimated
useful lives are as follows:

principally  certified  coins,  gemstones,   sports  trading  cards  and  sports
memorabilia.

Prior to the consummation of the Acquisition,  the Company secured an additional
term loan (the "Term Loan") from Brown Brothers  Harriman & Co. in the amount of
$1,500,000,  bearing interest at the rate of 10% per annum, payable monthly. The
Term Loan is secured by all  personal  property  and  fixtures  of the  Company,
including   accounts,   contract  rights,   equipment,   inventory  and  general
intangibles, and including the personal property and fixtures of Teletrade, Inc.
In  connection  with the  consummation  of the Term Loan,  the Company  incurred
acquisition fees of $210,000.

The foregoing  description  of the  Acquisition  is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the full text of the Stock Purchase Agreement,  dated as of October
29, 1998,  by and among the Company,  Leon Liebman,  Richard  Makely and Bernard
Rome,  which  was  filed as  Exhibit  10.1 to the 8-K  filed by the  Company  on
November 16, 1998 and which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference.

The  foregoing  description  of the Term Loan is  qualified  in its  entirety by
reference to the secured promissory note, as amended; such note was filed in its
original  form as Exhibit  10.3 to the Form 8-K filed by the Company on November
16, 1998 and is incorporated  in its entirety herein by reference.  An amendment
to such note will be filed by the Company shortly.

The following pro forma  consolidated  balance sheets (unaudited) as of June 30,
1998 and September 30, 1998 and  statements  of operations  (unaudited)  for the
year ended June 30, 1998,  and for the three month periods  ended  September 30,
1997 and 1998, give effect to the  acquisition of all of the outstanding  shares
of Teletrade,  Inc. ("Teletrade") by Greg Manning Auctions, Inc. ("GMAI"), which
acquisition was completed on October 29, 1998. The pro forma information for the
year ended June 30, 1998 and for the three months ended  September  30, 1997 and
1998 is based on the historical financial statements of GMAI and Teletrade.  The
pro forma  information  for the year ended June 30, 1998 and for the three month
periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1998 includes the effect of the acquisition
under the purchase  method of accounting and the assumptions and adjustments set
forth in the  accompanying  notes to the pro  forma  consolidated  statement  of
operations.

The pro forma  consolidated  balance sheets  (unaudited) as of June 30, 1998 and
statements of operations  (unaudited)  for the year ended June 30, 1998, and for
the three month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1998, have been prepared by
GMAI  management  based upon the  financial  statements  of  Teletrade  included
elsewhere herein.  The pro forma  consolidated  balance sheets (unaudited) as of
June 30, 1998 and statements of operations  (unaudited)  for the year ended June
30, 1998 and for the three month periods  ended  September 30, 1997 and 1998 may

had been in effect  on the  dates  indicated  or which  may be  obtained  in the
future.  The pro forma  consolidated  balance sheets  (unaudited) as of June 30,
1998 and statements of operations  (unaudited)  for the year ended June 30, 1998
and for the three month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1998 should be read
in conjunction with the audited financial  statements and notes of GMAI included
in GMAI's Annual Report on form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 1998, and the
Teletrade audited financial statements and notes contained elsewhere herein.

The GMAI consolidated balance sheet (unaudited) of September 30, 1998, which was
included  in the Form  10-QSB  filed on October  26,  1998,  did not reflect the
acquisition of Teletrade.

The pro forma  consolidated  balance sheets  (unaudited) as of June 30, 1998 and
statements  of operations  (unaudited)  for the year ended June 30, 1998 and for
the three  month  period  ended  September  30,  1998  presents  the  results of
operations of GMAI as if GMAI had acquired Teletrade as of July 1, 1997.

            Notes to Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations
                    For the year ended June 30, 1998 and for
            the three month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1998

(1)  General

The Company's  September 30, 1998 consolidated  balance sheets and statements of
operations (unaudited), which was included with the Form 10-QSB filed on October
26, 1998, did not reflect the acquisition of Teletrade, Inc.
("Teletrade").

The Statement of Operations of Teletrade  included in the Pro Forma Consolidated
Statement of Operations (Unaudited) for the year ended June 30, 1998 and for the
three month periods ended  September 30, 1997 and 1998  represent the operations
of Teletrade  prior to the  acquisition for the year ended June 30, 1998 and for
the three month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1998.

The Pro Forma  Consolidated  Statements of Operations  (Unaudited)  for the year
ended June 30, 1998 and for the three month periods ended September 30, 1997 and
1998 do not purport to be  indicative  of the results that  actually  would have
been  obtained if the  operations  were  combined at the beginning of the fiscal
year  ended  June  30,  1998,  and this  presentation  is not  intended  to be a
projection of future results or trends.

(2)  General and Administrative Operating Expenses

The pro forma adjustments to General and  Administrative  Operating Expenses for
the year ended June 30, 1998 and for the three month periods ended September 30,
1997  and  1998  consist  of  an  adjustment  to  amortization,   by  increasing
amortization in the amount of $352,364 and $88,091, respectively, to reflect the
pro forma amortization of goodwill, trademarks and customer lists for the twelve
and three month periods.

(3)  Goodwill

Part of the purchase price was allocated to Trademarks and Customer  Lists.  The
excess  of the  purchase  price  over the fair  market  value of the net  assets
acquired was  $2,847,273  and was recorded as goodwill.  Trademarks and goodwill
are being  amortized on a  straight-line  basis over a 20 year period.  Customer
lists are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a 5 year period. The pro
forma adjustment to the General and Administrative Operating Expenses represents
the amortization of the goodwill, customer list and trademark.

(4)  Interest Expense

The pro forma  adjustments to interest  expense for the year ended June 30, 1998
and for the three month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1998 consist of the
additional  interest incurred from the additional  borrowing from Brown Brothers
Harriman  & Co.  and the  notes  and  consulting  agreements  payable  to former
shareholders for those periods.

(5)  Income Tax and Tax Benefit

The pro forma  adjustments for the income tax and tax benefit for the year ended
June 30, 1998 and for the three month periods ended  September 30, 1997 and 1998
are the estimates of the federal and state income tax that would be due assuming
Teletrade  was  acquired on July 1, 1997.  No federal or state income tax or tax
benefit was previously recorded by Teletrade because Teletrade had elected to be
taxed under the S Corporation provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.


                                       26

(6) Earnings per share

The effect of  options  issued  with  respect  to the  acquisition  has not been
reflected  because  the  potential  incremental  shares  have been  deemed to be
immaterial.
