                              PRELIMINARY STATEMENT


         This Form 10-K/A is being filed by Cardinal Realty Services,  Inc. (the
"Company") in order to correct certain  inaccuracies  previously reported in two
tables of  statistical  information  under the  sub-headings  of  "Wholly  Owned
Properties"  and  "Syndicated  Properties"  in Part  I,  Item 1  Business  - The
Company's  Business on pages 10 and 12 of its previously  filed Annual Report on
Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended  December  31, 1996 (the "1996 Form  10-K"),
and part (b) under the sub-heading  "Compliance  with Section 16 of the Exchange
Act" in Part III, Item 10 Directors and Executive  Officers of the Registrant on
page 36 of the 1996 Form 10-K. In particular,  the following three line items in
each  of  the  above-referenced   tables  of  statistical  information  included
quarterly  instead of monthly figures:  Property-Operating  Expenses/Unit/Month,
Capital and Maintenance/Unit/Month and Real Estate Taxes/Unit/Month. In addition
certain information  required to be disclosed under the sub-heading  "Compliance
with Section 16 of the Exchange Act" was erroneously omitted. In accordance with
the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company has amended and
restated  the  statistical  information  portion  of the two  tables  under  the
sub-headings of "Wholly Owned Properties" and "Syndicated Properties" in Part I,
Item 1 Business  - The  Company's  Business  on pages 10 and 12 of the 1996 Form
10-K,  and part (b) under the  sub-heading  "Compliance  with  Section 16 of the
Exchange  Act" in Part III,  Item 10  Directors  and  Executive  Officers of the
Registrant on page 36 of the 1996 Form 10-K under cover of this Form 10-K/A.

         Part III, Item 10. The  subsection  entitled  "COMPLIANCE  WITH SECTION
16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE  ACT"  included in the Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1996 is hereby amended and restated as follows.
    

                COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT

         Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the  Company's  officers and
directors,  and persons who own more than 10% of the Company's  Common Stock, to
file initial  statements of  beneficial  ownership  (Form 3), and  statements of
changes in  beneficial  ownership  (Forms 4 or 5) of Common Stock of the Company
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Officers, directors and
greater  than 10%  shareholders  are required by SEC  regulation  to furnish the
Company with copies of all such forms they file.

   
         To the Company's  knowledge,  based on its review of the copies of such
forms received by it, or written  representations from certain reporting persons
that no additional  forms were required for those persons,  the Company believes
that during the previous fiscal year, all filing requirements  applicable to its
officers,  directors,  and greater than 10% beneficial owners were complied with
except as follows.  In August 1996, Messr.  Patrick M. Holder received shares of
restricted Common Stock in connection with the Company's  acquisition of Lexford
Properties,  Inc.,  some of which  shares  are  subject to  forfeiture,  and the
appropriate  Form 4 was not filed on his behalf within the required time period.
In January 1997, options were granted to Messrs. Michele R. Souder and Ronald P.
Koegler  and the  appropriate  Form 4 was not filed on their  behalf  within the
required time period. Forms 4 for Messrs.  Holder, Souder and Koegler were filed
promptly after the failure to file such forms was discovered.
