                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Starrett
Corporation and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 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 the
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The consolidated financial
statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 are
unaudited and are subject to year-end audit and adjustments. The results of
operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results
of operations for the fiscal year. For comparability purposes, certain 1995
amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 1996 classifications. For
further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes included thereto in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1995.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
                                   OPERATIONS
         COMPARISON OF SIX AND THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995

         During the six and three months ended June 30, 1996, the Company had
income from operations of $4,530,000 and $2,480,000 as compared with $3,690,000
and $1,955,000 in 1995, and net income of $2,534,000 or $.40 a share and
$1,366,000 or $.22 a share as compared to $2,103,000 or $.34 a share and
$1,114,000 or $.18 a share for the similar periods in 1995.

         The increase in income was primarily attributable to Levitt
Corporation's operations.

         For the three months ended June 30, 1996, revenues increased by
$8,980,000 due to significantly higher deliveries in Levitt's Puerto Rico
region, offset by lower average selling prices resulting from a change in
product mix. Despite an increase in gross profit from house sales, the gross
profit percentage decreased as newer projects are realizing lower gross profit
margins.

         Levitt's backlog of homes contracted for sale was $91,400,000 at June
30, 1996 as compared to $90,442,000 at June 30, 1995. Included in Levitt's sales
backlog is its 50% interests in joint ventures.

         HRH Construction Corporation reported an increase in operating
revenues, offset by a rise in general and administrative expenses relating to
the Company's expansion in the interior construction field.

         Costs and expenses increased during the six and three months ended June
30, 1996 reflecting the increased level of operations discussed above.

Financial Condition and Capital Resources

         The Company meets its short-term financing needs with cash generated
from operations and funds available under several unsecured credit agreements.
On January 31, 1996, Levitt satisfied a $14,400,000 unsecured credit facility
through a $4,400,000 payment from working capital and a $10,000,000 payment from
an unsecured term loan. The new loan requires semi-annual principal payments of
$1,000,000 and $1,500,000 in July and January, respectively, through January
2000.

         Homebuilding Operations

         The Company generally meets its land acquisition, development and
construction needs through mortgage loans and unsecured revolving credit
facilities. During March 1996, 


                                       10
<PAGE>   11
the Company renewed and extended its $15,000,000 revolving unsecured credit
agreement used to finance its Puerto Rico homebuilding operation for an
additional three years.

         Mortgage Operations

         During 1995 the Company entered into a credit agreement with a Puerto
Rico bank to provide an unsecured revolving line of credit of $3,000,000 to
finance the working capital needs of the expanding Puerto Rico mortgage banking
operation.

         Development/Construction Management

         During 1995 and 1996 the Company entered into a credit agreement with a
New York bank to provide a $4,500,000 unsecured line of credit to finance
development, construction and other operating activities.

         1996 Cash Flow

         Net cash used in operating activities comprised net income of
$2,534,000 and net adjustments for non-cash items of $410,000, offset by an
increase in inventories of $26,967,000 and a net change in other operating
assets and liabilities of $707,000.

         The increase in inventories is due to Levitt's investment in various
development projects, increasing its inventory in its single-family home
division.

         Net cash provided by investing activities comprised distributions from
joint ventures of $4,658,000, offset by other net investing activities of
$1,957,000.

         Net cash provided by financing activities comprised net principal
borrowings on notes and mortgages payable of $13,548,000 plus proceeds from
minority interests of $1,885,000, offset by dividends paid to stockholders of
$391,000.

         Seasonality

         The timing of introducing Levitt's new projects to the market, weather
conditions in certain of Levitt's regions, and traditional periods of greater
customer activity have tended to create seasonal trends in Levitt's residential
home building activities. Historically, the number of homes delivered has been
greater in the second half of the calendar year.

         Except as discussed above, management is not aware of any trends or
events, commitments or uncertainties that will impact liquidity in a material
way.
