                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheet  of  Spectrum
Numismatics International,  Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 1998, and the
related consolidated  statements of income and retained earnings (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 the 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 consolidated  financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Spectrum Numismatics
International,  Inc. and  subsidiary as of December 31, 1998, and the results of
their  operations  and their cash flows for the year then ended,  in  conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

              February  22,  1991,  and  is  a  wholesale  dealer  of  rare  and
              investment   grade  coins,   selling  to  other  dealers,   retail
              operations,  and other  interested  parties,  primarily within the
              United States.

              Spectrum has a 99% membership  interest in Kensington  Associates,
              LLC  (Kensington),  which was formed in December 1996 as a holding
              company for its investments in two coin companies.

Note 2 -      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

              A.    PERVASIVENESS OF 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 revenues and
                   expenses  during the reporting  period.  Actual results could
                   differ from those estimates.

              B.    PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION -
                    The accompanying  financial  statements include the accounts
                   of  Spectrum  and  Kensington.   All  material   intercompany
                   accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

                   The minority  interest on the balance sheet represents the 1%
equity of the minority stockholder in Kensington.

                   Spectrum  and  Kensington,   collectively,   are  hereinafter
referred to as "the Company".

              C.    CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS -

                    Cash  equivalents  are  highly  liquid  investments  with  a
maturity of three months or less from date of acquisition.

                    The Company  maintains its cash in bank accounts  which,  at
                    times,  exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not
                    experienced any losses in such accounts.

              D.    ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE -

                    Management  considers all receivables to be collectible and,
                    therefore,  has not  established  an allowance  for doubtful
                    accounts.

                            December 31, 1998


Note 2 -      CONTINUED:

              E.    INVENTORIES -

                    The cost of property and equipment is depreciated  using the
                    straight-line and accelerated  methods over estimated useful
                    lives of the assets ranging from five to seven years.

              G.    INTANGIBLE ASSETS -

                     following:

                                                                   115,270

    Less accumulated amortization                                 (113,177)
                                                               ------------
                                                              $      2,093



              H.    INCOME TAXES -
                    Spectrum has elected to be treated as an "S" corporation for
                   income tax purposes.  As such, it is not generally subject to
                   income taxes,  other than a 1-1/2%  California  franchise tax
                   (see  Note  7),  since  its  income  is   reportable  by  its
                   stockholders on their respective income tax returns.

                   Kensington,  which is a limited liability  company,  does not
                   provide for income taxes since it is not a taxpaying  entity.
                   Instead,  members'  distributive  shares of income  and other
                   items are reported in their respective tax returns.

                                   (Continued)
                                December 31, 1998

Note 2 -      CONTINUED:

                   The  Company   provides  for  deferred   taxes  on  temporary
                    differences between financial and income tax reporting.  The
                    temporary   differences   result   from  use  of   different
                    depreciation   methods  between  financial  and  income  tax
                    reporting,  the capitalization of certain operating expenses
                    as inventory  for income tax  reporting  pursuant to Section
                    263A  of the  Internal  Revenue  Code,  and the  accrual  of
                    interest on related party debt for financial reporting which
                    is  not  deductible  in  the  same  period  for  income  tax
                    purposes.  The  deferred  tax assets in the amount of $2,700
                    resulting  from these  temporary  differences as of December
                    31, 1998 are included in "prepaid expenses and other current
                    assets".

              I.    CAPITAL STRUCTURE -
                    Spectrum  has both Series A common stock and Series B common
                   stock outstanding. Stockholders of Series A stock have 1 vote
                   per  share.  Stockholders  of Series B stock have 5 votes per
                   share. The Board of Directors  consists of three members,  of
                   one which is  elected by the  stockholders  of Series A stock
                   and two of which are elected by the  stockholders of Series B
                   stock.  During the year ended  December  31,  1998,  Spectrum
                   issued 1,550  shares of Series A common  stock  pursuant to a
                   stock option agreement (see Note 5B).  Proceeds in the amount
                   of $274,598 were recorded as an increase in capital stock.

J.       INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANIES -
                   The Company  accounts for its  investments  under the "equity
                   method",  whereby the carrying  value of its  investments  is
                   increased by capital contributions and earnings and decreased
                   by distributions and losses.

              K.    UNCERTAINTY DUE TO THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE -

                    The Year 2000 issue arises because many computerize  systems
                    use  two  digits  rather  than  four  to  identify  a  year.
                    Date-sensitive  systems may  recognize the year 2000 as 1900
                    or some other date,  resulting  in errors  when  information
                    using year 2000 dates is  processed.  In  addition,  similar
                    problems may arise in some systems  which use certain  dates
                    in 1999  to  represent  something  other  than a  date.  The
                    effects  of the Year 2000 issue may be  experienced  before,
                    on, or after  January  1, 2000 and,  if not  addressed,  the
                    impact on operations and financial  reporting may range from
                    minor  errors to  significant  systems  failure  which could
                    affect  an  entity's  ability  to  conduct  normal  business
                    operations.  It is  not  possible  to be  certain  that  all
                    aspects the Year 2000 issue affecting the entity,  including
                    those  related to the efforts of  customers,  suppliers,  or
                    other third parties, will be fully resolved.

Note 3 -      INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANIES:

              The Company owns a 25%  membership  interest and a 20%  membership
              interest,  respectively,  in two coin companies (Companies "A" and
              "B",   respectively).   The   following  is  condensed   financial
              information of the limited liability  companies as of December 31,

              The carrying amount of the Company's investments is different from
              its respective  percentage  shares in the underlying equity of the
              limited  liability  companies,  due  to  disproportionate  capital
              contributions made by the Company.

              In  February  1999,  Company A was sold in  exchange  for cash and
              shares  of common  stock of  another  company  (Company  "C").  In
              addition, Spectrum purchased 20,000 shares of Company C for $5 per
              share through a private placement offering in April 1999.

              On June 30, 1999,  Spectrum was granted  stock  options for 21,000
              shares of common  stock  under the terms of a  nonqualified  stock
              option agreement with Company C. The stock options are exercisable
              on April 1, 2006 at $5 per share.  However, if Company C generates
              a  specified  amount of gross  revenues  from  coins  supplied  by
              Spectrum,  certain  of the  shares  would  vest (and  thus  become
              exercisable)  on each  respective  anniversary  date of the  stock
              option agreement.

                   Spectrum has entered into a Stock  Option  Agreement  with an
                   officer  which  allows him the option to  purchase  shares of
                   Series  A  common  stock.  The  shares  available  to him for
                   purchase are as follows:

                    *  The  officer  exercised  the option  for 1,550  shares in
                       January 1998 for $247,598,  which was paid to the Company
                       on December 31, 1997.

              C.    "SPLIT DEALS" -
                    The Company has  arrangements  with certain parties to share
                   the net profit or loss  attributable to the sales of specific
                   items of its inventories. As of December 31, 1998, the amount
                   of   inventories    subject   to   these   arrangements   was
                   approximately $5.7 million.

Note 6 -      RETIREMENT PLAN:

              The Company has maintained a Salary Reduction  Simplified Employee
              Pension Plan since March 1993. The Plan is funded through employee
              salary  deferrals.  Each employee can contribute as much as 15% of
              his compensation up to the maximum amount allowable under Internal
              Revenue Code  ($10,000 for 1998).  For 1998,  the Company has also
              agreed to contribute 3% of participating  employees' compensation,
              but the combined  amount of employer  and  employee  contributions
              cannot exceed the maximum  allowable  amount ($24,000 per employee
              for 1998).  For the year ended  December  31,  1998,  the board of
              directors has authorized the Company to contribute  $30,000 to the
              Plan.

Note 7 -      PROVISION FOR TAXES:

           Current payable                               $       800
            Deferred                                              -

                                                         $       800

                                December 31, 1998

Note 8 -      BUSINESS CONCENTRATIONS:

              The Company's two largest customers accounted for 30% of net sales
for the year ended December 31, 1998.

              The  Company  has  concentration  of credit  risk with  respect to
              accounts  receivable.  Two customers accounted for 76% of accounts
              receivable  at December 31,  1998.  The Company  performs  ongoing
              credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require
              collateral.

Note 9 - NOTE PAYABLE - BANK:

              Spectrum has a loan agreement with Bank of America  Illinois which
              provides for borrowings  under a revolving note,  originally dated
              January 20,  1997,  and renewed on April 20,  1998,  allowing  for
              borrowings of up to $4,000,000,  with interest  payable monthly at
              the bank's  reference  rate of interest.  As of December 31, 1998,
              the outstanding balance owed was $3,700,000.

              The  loan  is  secured  by  eligible   inventories   and  accounts
              receivable.  A stockholder of Spectrum has  personally  guaranteed
              repayment of the debt. In addition,  the loan  agreement  contains
              certain restrictions regarding borrowings from other parties.

              The  outstanding  principal plus unpaid  interest was to be due on
              April 20, 1999, but this due date was extended for 60 days.

              As of June  18,  1999,  the  loan was  renegotiated  allowing  for
              borrowing of up to $7,000,000 with the same interest rate as above
              and maturing on June 18, 2000. The loan continues to be secured by
              eligible  inventories  and accounts  receivable,  and the personal
              guarantee  of  a  stockholder  of  Spectrum.   In  addition,   the
              stockholder  has executed  two deeds of trust on real  property as
              security for the borrowings.

Note 10 -     SETTLEMENT OF LITIGATION:

              During the year ended  December  31, 1998,  the Company  settled a
              lawsuit,  to  which  it was a  party,  without  monetary  damages;
              however,  it  incurred  legal fees and other  related  expenses of
              approximately $530,000.

Note 11 -     SUBSEQUENT EVENT

              On December 8, 1999,  the Company  entered into an agreement to be
acquired  by Greg  Manning  Auctions,  Incorporated,  subject  to  stockholders'
approval.

                                September 30, 1999


Note 1 -      NATURE OF OPERATIONS:

              Spectrum Numismatics International,  Inc. (Spectrum) was formed on
              February  22,  1991,  and  is  a  wholesale  dealer  of  rare  and
              investment   grade  coins,   selling  to  other  dealers,   retail
              operations,  and other  interested  parties,  primarily within the
              United States.

              Spectrum has a 99% membership  interest in Kensington  Associates,
              LLC  (Kensington),  which was formed in December 1996 as a holding
              company  for its  investments  in two coin  companies.  One of the
              companies was sold in February 1999 (see Note 4).

Note 2 -      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

              A.    PERVASIVENESS OF 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 revenues and
                   expenses  during the reporting  period.  Actual results could
                   differ from those estimates.

              B.    PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION -
                    The accompanying  financial  statements include the accounts
                   of  Spectrum  and  Kensington.   All  material   intercompany
                   accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

                   The minority  interest on the balance sheet represents the 1%
equity of the minority member in Kensington.

                   Spectrum  and  Kensington,   collectively,   are  hereinafter
referred to as "the Company".

              C.    CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS -

                    Cash  equivalents  are  highly  liquid  investments  with  a
maturity of three months or less from date of acquisition.

                    The Company  maintains its cash in bank accounts  which,  at
                    times,  exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not
                    experienced any losses in such accounts.

              D.    ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE -

                    Management  considers all receivables to be collectible and,
                    therefore,  has not  established  an allowance  for doubtful
                    accounts.

              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              (Continued)
                            September 30, 1999


Note 2 -      CONTINUED:

              E.    INVENTORIES -

                    Inventories  are  stated  at the  lower  of  cost  (specific
identification method) or market.

              F.    PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT -

                    The cost of property and equipment is depreciated  using the
                    straight-line and accelerated  methods over estimated useful
                    lives of the assets ranging from five to seven years.

                    Property and equipment as of September 30, 1999 consisted of
                    the following:

                    Machinery and equipment                   $    185,779
                    Furniture and fixtures                          36,833
                    Leasehold improvements                           1,978
                                                               ------------
                                                                   224,590

                    Less accumulated depreciation                 (199,568)
                                                                ------------
                                                              $     25,022



              G.    INCOME TAXES -
                    Spectrum has elected to be treated as an "S" corporation for
                   income tax purposes.  As such, it is not generally subject to
                   income taxes,  other than a 1-1/2%  California  franchise tax
                   (see  Note  8),  since  its  income  is   reportable  by  its
                   stockholders on their respective income tax returns.

                   Kensington,  which is a limited liability  company,  does not
                   provide for income taxes since it is not a taxpaying  entity.
                   Instead,  members'  distributive  shares of income  and other
                   items are reported in their respective tax returns.

                   The  Company   provides  for  deferred   taxes  on  temporary
                   differences  between financial and income tax reporting.  The
                   temporary   differences   result   from   use  of   different
                   depreciation   methods  between   financial  and  income  tax
                   reporting,  the  capitalization of certain operating expenses
                   as  inventory  for income tax  reporting  pursuant to Section
                   263A  of the  Internal  Revenue  Code,  and  the  accrual  of
                   interest on related party debt for financial  reporting which
                   is not deductible in the same period for income tax purposes.
                   The  deferred  tax assets in the  amount of $2,700  resulting
                   from these temporary differences as of September 30, 1999 are
                   included in "prepaid expenses and other current assets".

                                     (Continued)
                                  September 30, 1999

Note 2 -      CONTINUED:

              H.    CAPITAL STRUCTURE -
                    Spectrum  has both Series A common stock and Series B common
                    stock  outstanding.  Stockholders  of Series A stock  have 1
                    vote per share.  Stockholders of Series B stock have 5 votes
                    per share. The Board of Directors consists of three members,
                    of one  which is  elected  by the  stockholders  of Series A
                    stock and two of which are  elected by the  stockholders  of
                    Series B stock.

K.       INVESTMENT IN LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY -
                   The Company  accounts  for its  investment  under the "equity
                   method",  whereby the  carrying  value of its  investment  is
                   increased by capital contributions and earnings and decreased
                   by distributions and losses.

              J.    UNCERTAINTY DUE TO THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE -

                    The Year 2000 issue arises because many computerize  systems
                    use  two  digits  rather  than  four  to  identify  a  year.
                    Date-sensitive  systems may  recognize the year 2000 as 1900
                    or some other date,  resulting  in errors  when  information
                    using year 2000 dates is  processed.  In  addition,  similar
                    problems may arise in some systems  which use certain  dates
                    in 1999  to  represent  something  other  than a  date.  The
                    effects  of the Year 2000 issue may be  experienced  before,
                    on, or after  January  1, 2000 and,  if not  addressed,  the
                    impact on operations and financial  reporting may range from
                    minor  errors to  significant  systems  failure  which could
                    affect  an  entity's  ability  to  conduct  normal  business
                    operations.  It is  not  possible  to be  certain  that  all
                    aspects the Year 2000 issue affecting the entity,  including
                    those  related to the efforts of  customers,  suppliers,  or
                    other third parties, will be fully resolved.

Note 3 -      INVESTMENT IN LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY:

              The Company owns a 20% membership interest in a coin company.  The
              following  is  condensed  financial  information  of  the  limited
              liability company as of September 30, 1999:

                                                                 (Unaudited)

             Balance sheet -
               Current assets                                $    1,274,057
               Noncurrent assets                                    649,866
                                                              --------------

               Total assets                                       1,923,923

               Current liabilities                                  576,863
                                                               --------------

               Members' equity                               $    1,347,060


             Statement of income -
               Revenues                                     $    18,826,375
               Cost of goods sold                               (15,941,635)
               Operating expenses                                (2,753,535)
                                                             ---------------

                 Net income                                 $       131,205


              The carrying  amount of the  Company's  investment is different in
              the coin  company  from  its  respective  percentage  share in the
              underlying   equity  of  the  limited  liability  company  due  to
              disproportionate capital contributions made by the Company.

Note 4 -      INVESTMENT IN COMMON STOCK:

              In February  1999,  one of the coin companies was sold in exchange
              for cash and  shares  of  common  stock of  another  company  (the
              corporation).  As a result, Spectrum received 57,000 shares of the
              corporation  valued at $5 per share.  This value was determined as
              based on the $5 per share price paid by Spectrum for 20,000 shares
              that it purchased  through a private  placement  offering in April
              1999.

              On June 30, 1999,  Spectrum was granted  stock  options for 21,000
              shares of common  stock  under the terms of a  nonqualified  stock
              option  agreement  with the  corporation.  The stock  options  are
              exercisable  on April 1,  2006 at $5 per  share.  However,  if the
              corporation  generates a specified  amount of gross  revenues from
              coins supplied by Spectrum,  certain of the shares would vest (and
              thus become  exercisable) on each respective  anniversary  date of
              the stock option agreement.

              As of  September  30,  1999,  the  shares of  common  stock in the
              corporation  were   restricted,   not  yet  registered  under  the
              Securities  Act of 1993.  Subsequently,  on November 3, 1999,  the
              corporation  had a public offering and registered all of the above
              shares. However, the Company is restricted from selling its shares
              of the corporation until May 2000.

           UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The pro forma  condensed  combined  balance  sheets and statements of operations
were derived by applying pro forma adjustments to Greg Manning Auctions,  Inc.'s
("GMAI")  historical  audited and unaudited  consoldiated  financial  statements
incorporated by reference herein.

We have provided unaudited  condensed combined financial  statements of GMAI and
Spectrum  Numismatics  International,  Inc's ("Spectrum") after giving effect to
the merger,  which are  referred to as "pro forma"  information.  In  presenting
these unaudited pro forma condensed  combined financial  statements,  we treated
our  companies  as if they have  been  combined  for  accounting  and  financial
reporting purposes. This method is known as the "pooling of interests" method of
accounting.  You  should be aware  that  these  unaudited  pro  forma  condensed
combined financial  statements are presented for illustrative  purposes only and
may not be indicative of the operating results or financial  position that would
have occurred or that will occur after the consummation of the merger.

The unaudited pro forma  information  set forth below gives effect to the merger
of GMAI and Spectrum as if it had been  completed on July 1, 1997 for purposes
of the  statement of  operations, and as if it had been  completed  on December
31, 1999 for balance  sheet  purposes, subject to the assumptions and
adjustments in the accompanying  notes to the pro forma information.

The  unaudited  condensed  combined  financial  information  is derived from the
historical financial statements of GMAI and Spectrum.

( 1 )  Basis of Presentation

The  unaudited  pro  forma  condensed  combined  financial  statements  assume a
business  combination  between GMAI and Spectrum accounted for using the pooling
of  interests  method and are based  upon the  respective  historical  financial
statements and the accompanying notes of GMAI and Spectrum.

The Company's  December 31, 1999  consolidated  balance sheets and statements of
operations  (unaudited),  which  was  included  with  the Form  10-QSB  filed on
February  14,  2000,  did not reflect the  acquisition  of Spectrum  Numismatics
International, Inc. ("Spectrum").

The  statements of operations  of Spectrum  included in the Pro Forma  Condensed
Consolidated  Statements of Operations  (Unaudited) for the years ended June 30,
1998 and 1999 and for the six month  periods  ended  December  31, 1998 and 1999
represent the  operations  of Spectrum  prior to the  acquisition  for the years
ended  June 30,  1998 and 1999 and for the  three and six  month  periods  ended
December 31, 1998 and 1999.

The Pro Forma  Condensed  Consolidated  Statements of  Operations  for the years
ended  June 30,  1998 and 1999 and for the  three and six  month  periods  ended
December 31, 1998 and 1999 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 years ended June 30,  1998 and 1999 and for the three and six month  periods
ended  December 31, 1998 and 1999 consist of  adjustments  to salaries and wages
for in the amount of ($ 1,419,882),  ($ 626,410), ($ 1,040,030), ($ 640,020),
($  64,559), and $ 13,607, respectively,  to reflect  salaries  and  bonuses
per  employment contracts signed at the closing.

( 3 ) Income Tax and Tax Benefit

The pro forma  adjustments  for income tax and tax  benefits for the years ended
June 30, 1998 and 1999 and for the three and six month  periods  ended  December
31, 1998 and 1999 are the  estimates  of the federal and state income taxes that
would be due assuming Spectrum was acquired on July 1, 1997. No federal or state
income tax or tax benefit was previously  recorded by Spectrum  because Spectrum
had  elected to be taxed  under the S  Corporation  provisions  of the  Internal
Revenue Code.
