                       AMBASE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 - Organization

     The accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements of AmBase Corporation
and its wholly-owned  subsidiaries  (the "Company") are unaudited and subject to
year-end adjustments.  All material intercompany  transactions and balances have
been eliminated. In the opinion of management,  the interim financial statements
reflect all adjustments,  consisting only of normal recurring adjustments unless
otherwise  disclosed,  necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial
position  and  results  of  operations.  Results  for  interim  periods  are not
necessarily  indicative of results for the full year. Certain  reclassifications
have been made to the prior year  consolidated  financial  statements to conform
with the current year presentation.  The consolidated  financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the
instructions  to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation  S-X. The preparation of
financial  statements  in  conformity  with  GAAP  requires  management  to make
estimates and assumptions,  that it deems  reasonable,  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 such estimates and assumptions.  The unaudited interim financial statements
presented herein should be read in conjunction  with the Company's  consolidated
financial  statements filed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2005.

     The  Company's  assets  currently   consist  primarily  of  cash  and  cash
equivalents,  investment  securities,  and real estate owned. The Company's main
source of operating  revenue is rental income  earned on real estate owned.  The
Company also earns non-operating  revenue  principally  consisting of investment
earnings on investment securities and cash equivalents. The Company continues to
evaluate a number of possible acquisitions,  and is engaged in the management of
its assets and  liabilities,  including the contingent  assets,  as described in
Part II - Item 1. From time to time,  the  Company and its  subsidiaries  may be
named as a defendant in various lawsuits or proceedings.  The Company intends to
aggressively  contest all  litigation and  contingencies,  as well as pursue all
sources for contributions to settlements.

     In July 2005,  the  Company  completed  the sale of its 38,000  square foot
office  building  at  Two  Soundview  Drive  in  Greenwich,   Connecticut  ("Two
Soundview").  Accordingly,  the results of  operations  of Two Soundview for the
periods ended prior to the July 2005 sale have been  retroactively  reclassified
as  discontinued  operations  in  the  accompanying  Consolidated  Statement  of
Operations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board, Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 144,  "Accounting  for the  Impairment  or
Disposal  of  Long-Lived  Assets"  ("SFAS  144").  See Note 7 herein for further
information.

     The  Company's  management  expects  that  operating  cash  needs  for  the
remainder  of 2006  will be met  principally  by the  receipt  of  non-operating
revenue  consisting of investment  earnings on  investment  securities  and cash
equivalents,  rental  income  received,  and  the  Company's  current  financial
resources.

Note 2 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In July 2006, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board ("FASB")  released
FASB  Interpretation  No. 48,  "Accounting  for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an
Interpretation of FASB Statement 109" ("FIN 48"), which clarifies the accounting
for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in companies' financial statements in
accordance  with FASB  Statement  109,  "Accounting  for Income  Taxes."  FIN 48
prescribes a recognition  threshold and measurement  attribute for the financial
statement  recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be
taken in a tax return.  The  evaluation of a tax position will be sustained upon
examination.  The second step is  measurement  whereby a tax position that meets
the  more-likely-than-not  recognition  threshold is measured to  determine  the
amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides
guidance on derecognition threshold of recognized tax benefits,  classification,
interest  and  penalties,   accounting  in  interim   periods,   disclosure  and
transition.  FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years  beginning  after December 15,
2006. The Company expects to adopt the new  requirements in the first quarter of
2007 and is  currently  evaluating  the impact that the  adoption of FIN 48 will
have on its consolidated financial statements.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

     Effective  January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value  recognition
provisions  of  Statement  of Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 123 (revised
2004),  "Share-Based  Payment,"  ("SFAS 123R"),  using the modified  prospective
approach and therefore has not restated  results for prior  periods.  Under this
method,  stock-based  compensation  expense for the three months ended March 31,
2006,  includes  compensation  expense for all stock-based  compensation  awards
granted  prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006,  based on the grant
date  fair  value  estimated  in  accordance  with the  original  provisions  of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" ("SFAS123").  Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based
compensation  awards  granted after January 1, 2006,  for which vesting is based
solely  on  employment  service,  will be based on the  grant  date  fair  value
estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. The Company recognizes
these   compensation  costs  for  only  those  shares  expected  to  vest  on  a
straight-line  basis over the requisite  service  period of the award,  which is
generally  the option  vesting term of two years.  Prior to the adoption of SFAS
123R,  the  Company  recognized  stock-based  compensation  in  accordance  with
Accounting  Principles  Board  Opinion No. 25,  "Accounting  for Stock Issued to
Employees"  ("APB 25"). In March 2005, the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission
(the "SEC") issued Staff  Accounting  Bulletin No. 107 ("SAB 107") regarding the
SEC's  interpretation of SFAS 123R and the valuation of share-based payments for
public  companies.  The Company has  applied  the  provisions  of SAB 107 in its
adoption  of  SFAS  123R.  See  Note  10  herein  for a  further  discussion  of
stock-based compensation.

Note 3 - Legal Proceedings

     The information  contained in Item 8 - Note 10 in AmBase's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31, 2005,  is  incorporated  by reference
herein and the defined  terms set forth below have the same meaning  ascribed to
them in that  report.  There have been no  material  developments  in such legal
proceedings, except as set forth below.

     The Company is or has been a party in a number of lawsuits or  proceedings,
including the following:

     Supervisory Goodwill Litigation.  The Company filed its Statement of Issues
relating to the size of the receivership  deficit in June 2006. The Government's
and the FDIC's  responses to the Statement of Issues will be due in August 2006,
and the Company's  reply will be due in September  2006. A status  conference to
discuss further  proceedings has been scheduled for September 2006. No assurance
can be given regarding the ultimate outcome of the litigation.

     Both the Court of Federal  Claims and the Court of appeals  for the Federal
Circuit have issued numerous  decisions in cases that involve claims against the
United  States  based upon its breach of its  contracts  with  savings  and loan
institutions  through its 1989 enactment of FIRREA.  In particular,  the Federal
Circuit  has issued  decisions  rejecting  Takings  Clause  claims  advanced  by
shareholders of failed thrifts. Castle v. United States, 301F.3d 1328 (Fed. Cir.
2002;  Bailey v. United  States,  341F.3d  1342 (Fed.  Cir.  2003)  petition for
certiorari which was filed January 26, 2004. In April 2004, the Company filed an
amicus brief in support of the petition for certiorari filed by Bailey.  In June
2004, the United States  Supreme Court denied the petition for certiorari  filed
by Bailey.  The Court of Claims decision in the Company's case, as well as other
decisions in  Winstar-related  cases, are publicly available and may be relevant
to the Supervisory Goodwill Company's claims, but are not necessarily indicative
of the ultimate outcome of the Company's actions.

     Litigation  with SDG, Inc. In September 2005, the Company filed a Notice of
Appeal with the United States of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Thereafter, the
parties entered into successful settlement negotiations that resulted in payment
to the  Company in the total  amount of $72,000.  On April 5, 2006,  the parties
filed a stipulation  with the Court  withdrawing  the appeal.  The Appeals Court
ordered the case withdrawn on April 5, 2006.  The Company  remains a shareholder
in SDG  and  AMDG  and  will  continue  to  monitor  the  status  of SDG and its
subsidiary,  AMDG,  Inc. The Company  remains a shareholder in SDG and AMDG, but
has no current  carrying value for this  investment,  as the Company's  original
cost basis was previously written off.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

     Delaware  Court of  Chancery  Section  220 Books and  Records  Action:  Two
stockholders  who hold  approximately  12% of the  Company's  common  stock  had
previously  made demand in January 2004 to inspect  certain  Company's books and
records  pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware  General  Corporation  Law. The
Company opposed the request on various  grounds,  and the  stockholders  brought
suit in March 2004 to compel inspection of certain Company books and records. In
August 2005, the Court of Chancery issued a Memorandum  Opinion finding that the
stockholders had met the technical  requirements of Section 220 and had stated a
proper purpose under Section 220, and were legally entitled to inspect specified
books and records, but declined to find the Company liable for the stockholders'
attorney's fees.

Note 4 - Cash and Cash Equivalents

     Highly  liquid  investments,   consisting  principally  of  funds  held  in
short-term  money market  accounts with  original  maturities of less than three
months, are classified as cash equivalents.

Note 6 - Property Owned

     As of June 30, 2006,  the Company owns one  commercial  office  building in
Greenwich,  Connecticut  that contains  approximately  14,500  square feet.  The
Company utilizes a small portion of the office space for its executive  offices,
with the remaining  square  footage  available for lease to  unaffiliated  third
parties.

     Depreciation  expense is recorded on a  straight-line  basis over 39 years.
The  building  and   improvements  are  carried  at  cost,  net  of  accumulated
depreciation  of $257,000 and $232,000,  at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005,
respectively.

     The Company  earns  rental  income  under  operating  leases with  tenants.
Minimum lease rentals are recognized on a straight-line  basis over the terms of
the leases.  The cumulative  difference  between lease revenue  recognized under
this method and the contractual lease payment terms is recorded as deferred rent
receivable  and the balance of $5,000 as of December  31,  2005,  is included in
other  assets  on  the   Consolidated   Balance  Sheets.   Revenue  from  tenant
reimbursement of common area maintenance, utilities and other operating expenses
are recognized pursuant to the tenant's lease when earned and due from tenants.

     Included in property operating and maintenance are expenses for common area
maintenance,  utilities,  real  estate  taxes and other  reimbursable  operating
expenses,  which  have not been  reduced  by  amounts  reimbursable  by  tenants
pursuant to applicable lease agreements.

     See Note 7 herein  for  information  regarding  the  Company's  sale of Two
Soundview in July 2005.

Note 7 - Discontinued Operations

     In May 2005,  the Company  entered into an agreement to sell Two Soundview,
originally purchased in December 2002, to Ceruzzi Holdings, LLC, an unaffiliated
third party. In July 2005, the Company completed the sale of Two Soundview.  The
sale  price  was   $28,000,000   less  normal  real  estate  closing  costs  and
adjustments. As a result of the sale of Two Soundview, the results of operations
of Two  Soundview  have been  designated  as  discontinued  operations,  and the
Consolidated  Statements of  Operations  for the periods ended prior to the July
2005  sale have been  retroactively  reclassified  to  report  the  income  from
discontinued  operations separately from the results of continuing operations by
excluding the operating  revenues and expenses of  discontinued  operations from
the respective statement captions,  in accordance with SFAS 144. A gain from the
sale, of $10,298,000,  was reflected in the Company's  financial  statements for
the year ending December 31, 2005.

     Income from  discontinued  operations,  as summarized below, for the second
quarter and six months  periods  ended June 30,  2005,  reflects  the results of
operations of Two Soundview.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

     The Company expects to utilize net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards and
alternative  minimum tax NOL carryforwards as available to offset taxable income
generated  from the sale of Two  Soundview.  However,  due to limitations on the
amount of NOL  carryforwards  that may be utilized  against taxable  income,  an
income tax provision of $400,000 for  discontinued  operations,  attributable to
provision  for federal  alternative  minimum tax of $150,000  and a provision of
$250,000 for  Connecticut  state taxes was recorded in the forth  quarter  ended
December 31, 2005.

Note 8 - Income Taxes

     The Company and its 100% owned  domestic  subsidiaries  file a consolidated
federal income tax return.  The Company recognizes both the current and deferred
tax consequences of all transactions  that have been recognized in the financial
statements,  calculated  based on the provisions of enacted tax laws,  including
the tax rates in effect for current and future  years.  Net  deferred tax assets
are  recognized  immediately  when a more likely than not criterion is met; that
is, greater than 50%  probability  exists that the tax benefits will actually be
realized  sometime in the future.  The Company has calculated a net deferred tax
asset  of $32  million  as of June 30,  2006  and  December  31,  2005,  arising
primarily from net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards, alternative minimum tax
("AMT")  credits (not including the anticipated tax effects of NOL's expected to
be generated  from the  Company's tax basis in Carteret  Savings Bank,  F.A. and
subsidiaries  ("Carteret"),  resulting from the election decision, as more fully
described below). A valuation  allowance has been established for the entire net
deferred tax asset as management,  at the current time, has no basis to conclude
that realization is more likely than not.

     As a  result  of the  Office  of  Thrift  Supervision's  December  4,  1992
placement of Carteret in  receivership,  under the  management of the Resolution
Trust Corporation  ("RTC")/Federal  Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"),  and
then proposed Treasury Reg. ss.1.597-4(g),  the Company had previously filed its
1992 and subsequent federal income tax returns with Carteret  disaffiliated from
the Company's  consolidated  federal income tax return. Based upon the impact of
Treasury  Reg.  ss.1.597-4(g),  which was issued in final form on  December  20,
1995, a continuing review of the Company's tax basis in Carteret, and the impact
of prior year tax return  adjustments  on the Company's  1992 federal income tax
return as filed,  the Company decided not to make an election  pursuant to final
Treasury  Reg.   ss.1.597-4(g)  to  disaffiliate  Carteret  from  the  Company's
consolidated  federal  income tax return  effective  as of December 4, 1992 (the
"Election Decision").

     The Company has made numerous  requests to the RTC/FDIC for tax information
pertaining to Carteret and the resulting successor institution, Carteret Federal
Savings Bank ("Carteret  FSB");  however,  all of the information  still has not
been received. Based on the Company's Election Decision, as described above, and
the receipt of some of the requested information from the RTC/FDIC,  the Company
has  amended  its 1992  consolidated  federal  income tax return to include  the
federal  income tax  effects of Carteret  and  Carteret  FSB (the "1992  Amended
Return").  The  Company is still in the  process of  amending  its  consolidated
federal income tax returns for 1993 and subsequent years.

     The Company anticipates that, as a result of filing a consolidated  federal
income tax return with  Carteret FSB, a total of  approximately  $170 million of
tax NOL  carryforwards  will be  generated  from  the  Company's  tax  basis  in
Carteret/Carteret  FSB as tax losses are  incurred by Carteret FSB of which $158
million are still available for future use. Based on the Company's filing of the
1992  Amended  Return,  approximately  $56  million  of  NOL  carryforwards  are
generated  for  tax  year  1992  which  expire  in  2007,   with  the  remaining
approximately  $102 million of NOL  carryforwards  to be generated,  expiring no
earlier than 2008. These NOL  carryforwards  would be available to offset future
taxable income,  in addition to the NOL carryforwards as further detailed below.
The Company can give no assurances  with regard to the 1992 Amended  Return,  or
amended  returns for subsequent  years, or the final amount or expiration of NOL
carryforwards ultimately generated from the Company's tax basis in Carteret.

     In March 2000, the Company filed several carryback claims and amendments to
previously filed carryback claims with the IRS (the "Carryback  Claims") seeking
refunds from the IRS of  alternative  minimum tax and other federal income taxes
paid by the Company in prior years plus  applicable  IRS interest,  based on the
filing of the 1992 Amended Return.  In April 2003, IRS examiners issued a letter
to the Company  proposing to disallow the Carryback  Claims.  The Company sought
administrative review of the letter by protesting to the Appeals Division of the
IRS. In February  2005,  IRS Appeals  officials  completed  their  review of the
Carryback  Claims,  and disallowed  them.  The Company is currently  considering
whether to file suit for the tax refunds it seeks,  plus interest,  with respect
to the Carryback Claims. Even if the Company files suit, the Company can give no
assurances  as to the final  amounts of  refunds,  if any, or when they might be
received.

                       AMBASE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

     Based upon the Company's  federal  income tax returns as filed from 1993 to
2004  (subject  to IRS  audit  adjustments),  excluding  the  NOL  carryforwards
expected to be utilized in 2005, and excluding the NOL  carryforwards  generated
from the  Company's tax basis in  Carteret/Carteret  FSB, as noted above at June
30,  2006,  the  Company has NOL  carryforwards  aggregating  approximately  $31
million,  available  to reduce  future  federal  taxable  income which expire if
unused  beginning in 2009.  The Company's  federal  income tax returns for years
subsequent to 1992 have not been reviewed by the IRS.

     The utilization of certain  carryforwards  is subject to limitations  under
U.S.  federal income tax laws. In addition,  the Company has  approximately  $21
million of AMT credit  carryforwards  ("AMT Credits"),  which are not subject to
expiration.  Based on the filing of the Carryback  Claims,  as further discussed
above,  the  Company is seeking to realize  approximately  $8 million of the $21
million of AMT Credits.

2,500,000 shares in the aggregate shall be available for issuance for Restricted
Stock  Awards and Merit  Awards.  Such shares shall be  authorized  but unissued
shares of Common  Stock.  As of March 31,  2006,  there  were  3,760,000  shares
available  for future stock option  grants.  Options may be granted as incentive
stock options  ("ISOs")  intended to qualify for  favorable tax treatment  under
Federal tax law or as nonqualified stock options ("NQSOs").  SARs may be granted
with  respect to any Options  granted  under the 1993 Plan and may be  exercised
only when the underlying Option is exercisable.  The 1993 Plan requires that the
exercise  price of all  Options  and SARs be equal to or  greater  than the fair
market value of the Company's  Common Stock on the date of grant of that Option.
The term of any ISO or  related  SAR  cannot  exceed  ten years from the date of
grant,  and the term of any NQSO cannot  exceed ten years and one month from the
date of  grant.  Subject  to the  terms  of the  1993  Plan  and any  additional
restrictions  imposed  at the  time  of  grant,  Options  and any  related  SARs
ordinarily will become exercisable  commencing one year after the date of grant.
Options granted  generally have a ten year  contractual  life and generally have
vesting  terms of two years from the date of grant.  In the case of a "Change of
Control" of the Company (as defined in the 1993 Plan),  Options granted pursuant
to the 1993 Plan may become fully exercisable as to all optioned shares from and
after the date of such Change in Control in the  discretion  of the Committee or
as  may  otherwise  be  provided  in  the  grantee's  Option  agreement.  Death,
retirement, or absence for disability will not result in the cancellation of any
Options.

     Effective  January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value  recognition
provisions of SFAS 123R, using the modified  prospective  application method and
therefore  has not  restated  results  for prior  periods.  Under  this  method,
stock-based  compensation  expense for the three  months  ended March 31,  2006,
includes  compensation  expense for all stock-based  compensation awards granted
prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair
value  estimated  in  accordance  with  the  original  provisions  of SFAS  123.
Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted
after January 1, 2006, for which vesting is based solely on employment  service,
will be based on the grant  date fair value  estimated  in  accordance  with the
provisions of SFAS 123R. The Company  recognizes  these  compensation  costs for
only those shares expected to vest, on a straight-line  basis over the requisite
service  period of the award,  which is generally the option vesting term of two
years.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

     During the second  quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006,  the Company
recorded compensation expense of $22,000 and $44,000, respectively,  relating to
unvested  stock  options.  Compensation  expense  relating  to stock  options is
recorded  as a  reduction  to  additional  paid in capital in the  statement  of
stockholders'  equity.  Prior to 2006,  as  permitted  by SFAS 123,  the Company
accounted for  share-based  payments to employees using APB 25's intrinsic value
method and recognized no  compensation  cost for employee stock options in prior
years. Had the Company adopted SFAS 123R in the prior period, the impact of that
standard  would have  approximated  the impact of SFAS 123 in the  disclosure of
pro-forma net income (loss) and earnings per share described as follows:

</TABLE>

     The fair  value of each  option  award was  estimated  on the date of grant
using the  Black-Scholes-Merton  option valuation model  ("Black-Scholes")  that
uses the assumptions  noted in the following  table.  Expected  volatilities are
based  on  historical  volatility  of the  Company's  stock.  The  Company  uses
historical data to estimate option  exercises and employee  terminations  within
the valuation  model. The expected term of options granted is estimated based on
the  contractual  lives of option  grants,  option vesting period and historical
data and represents  the period of time that options  granted are expected to be
outstanding. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life
of the option is based on the U.S.  Treasury bond yield in effect at the time of
grant.  No  adjustments  were  made  in 2006 to the  input  assumptions  for the
calculation  of the fair value of stock options  granted in 2005 and prior years
from the pro forma amounts  previously  presented in the Company's  prior period
financial statements.

     The  Black-Scholes  option  valuation  model  requires  the input of highly
subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the stock-based award and
stock price volatility. The assumptions noted herein represent management's best
estimates,   but  these  estimates   involve  inherent   uncertainties  and  the
application of management  judgment.  As a result, if other assumptions had been
used,  our recorded and pro forma  stock-based  compensation  expense could have
been  materially  different  from that  depicted  herein.  In  addition,  we are
required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and only recognize expense for
those  shares  expected to vest.  If our actual  forfeiture  rate is  materially
different  from our  estimate,  the  share-based  compensation  expense could be
materially different

     The Company believes that the use of the Black-Scholes model meets the fair
value  measurement   objectives  of  SFAS  123R  and  reflects  all  substantive
characteristics  of the instruments  being valued. No stock options were granted
during the year to date period  ending June 30,  2006.  The per share grant date

Note 11 - Pension and Savings Plans

     The Company  sponsors a non  tax-qualified  supplemental  retirement  plan,
initially  adopted by the  Company in 1985,  and as amended  and  restated  (the
"Supplemental  Plan"),  under  which only one current  executive  officer of the
Company is currently the sole participant.  The cost of the Supplemental Plan is
accrued but not funded.

     The liability for the  Supplemental  Plan, which is accrued but not funded,
increased to $15,822,000 at June 30, 2006 from $14,595,000 at December 31, 2005.
The Supplemental Plan liability  reflects the June 30, 2006 present value of the
anticipated  May 31, 2007 lump-sum  payment amount of  $16,676,115,  utilizing a
5.75%  discount  rate factor.  The  Supplemental  Plan  liability can be further
affected by changes in discount rates, mortality,  and experience which could be
different from those assumed.

     The  Personnel  Committee  of the Board of  Directors  of the Company  (the
"Personnel  Committee") reviewed the Supplemental Plan and the Company's related
liability,  including the  desirability of continuing to maintain and administer
the  Supplemental  Plan, the untying of Mr. Bianco's future  employment with the
Company  from the  timing  of his  Supplemental  Plan  benefit  payment(s),  the
Company's overall financial position, and the desirability of continued accruals
under the  Supplemental  Plan after Mr.  Bianco's  current  employment  contract
expires on May 31, 2007. In connection with this review, the Personnel Committee
considered various options, including whether or not to terminate and/or curtail
the Supplemental Plan. Mr. Bianco (the Company's  Chairman,  President and Chief
Executive  Officer,  and the former  President  and Chief  Executive  Officer of
Carteret  Savings  Bank,  FA), is the only  current  employee of the Company who
participates in the Supplemental Plan and his Supplemental Plan benefit is fully
vested.  For purposes of computing his accrued  benefit  under the  Supplemental
Plan,  Mr.  Bianco had 14.67 years of credited  service as of December 31, 2005,
and assuming  continued  employment  with the Company,  will have 16.08 years of
credited service upon the expiration of his current employment contract with the
Company on May 31, 2007. His accrual  percentage under the Supplemental  Plan is
4%, in effect from the time of his initial  employment with the Company,  and in
accordance with the Supplemental Plan (prior to the amendment  described below),
he had the  entitlement  to receive his  Supplemental  Plan  benefit in either a
lump-sum or an annuity upon termination of his employment with the Company.

     During March 2006, the Company entered into a new employment agreement with
Mr. Bianco to extend his employment  with the Company for an additional five (5)
years beyond May 31, 2007, until May 31, 2012 (the "2007 Employment Agreement").
As part of the 2007  Employment  Agreement terms (i) Mr. Bianco's annual rate of
base salary will not increase  from his current  rate of base salary  during the
first three years of the 2007  Employment  Agreement (the amount of Mr. Bianco's
base salary for the fourth and fifth years of the 2007 Employment Agreement term
to be determined by the Personnel Committee, in its sole discretion, although in
no event less than $625,000 per annum); (ii) Mr. Bianco's service accruals under
the  Supplemental  Plan will cease as of May 31, 2007;  (iii) Mr. Bianco's Final
Average  Earnings (as defined in the Supplemental  Plan) for  Supplemental  Plan
benefit calculation  purposes,  are capped as of December 31, 2004; and (iv) Mr.
Bianco's annual bonus  opportunity  will no longer be linked to recovery efforts
in connection with the Company's Supervisory Goodwill litigation. Instead, on or
about  May  31,  2007,  Mr.  Bianco  will  receive  a  lump-sum  payment  of his
Supplemental  Plan benefit of  $16,676,115,  which amount was  calculated on the
basis of a 5.75% discount rate, a "RP-2000"  projected to 2004 mortality  table,
and 16.08 years of credited service,  and the Company and Mr. Bianco have agreed
to a long term incentive bonus formula,  at varying  percentages ranging from 5%
to  10%,  or  more,  based  upon  recoveries  received  by the  Company  for its
investment in Carteret Savings Bank, through litigation or otherwise  (including
the Company's Supervisory Goodwill  litigation).  The lump-sum Supplemental Plan
benefit  payment to Mr. Bianco will be paid to him from the Company's  available
financial resources.

     The  Supplemental  Plan has  been  amended  to  provide  for its  automatic
termination  immediately following the payment to Mr. Bianco of his Supplemental
Plan  lump-sum  benefit  on or  about  May 31,  2007.  In  accordance  with  the
accounting for the Supplemental Plan's scheduled termination on or about May 31,
2007,  in  accordance  with  GAAP,  the  ultimate   liability  relating  to  the
anticipated  termination  of  the  Supplemental  Plan  is not  reflected  in the
financial   statements  presented  herein,  as  all  conditions  for  the  final
termination  of the  Supplemental  Plan have not yet been met.  The Company will
continue to recognize an expense for the Supplemental  Plan and the Supplemental
Plan liability will increase through the date on which the Supplemental  Plan is
terminated.



<PAGE>
                       AMBASE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

     Based  on  the  2007   Employment   Agreement  and  the  amendment  of  the
Supplemental  Plan, each as described above, the Company revised the calculation
of the Supplemental  Plan liability to reflect a 5.75% discount rate as of April
1, 2006, as set forth in the agreements,  as compared to the 5.50% discount rate
utilized as of December 31, 2005. The Supplemental  Plan liability was increased
by an expense of $763,000 in the second  quarter ended June 30, 2006, to reflect
the June 30, 2006 present value of the anticipated May 31, 2007 lump-sum payment
amount of $16,676,115, utilizing the 5.75% discount rate factor.

     Additionally,  a Supplemental  Plan expense of $284,000 was recorded in the
second  quarter ended June 30, 2006, to amortize the  Supplemental  Plan minimum
pension liability adjustment. The minimum pension liability adjustment, which is
included  as a  component  of  stockholders'  equity  within  accumulated  other
comprehensive  loss in the  Company's  consolidated  financial  statements,  was
$1,326,000 as of March 31, 2006, and is being amortized on a straight line basis
over the 14-month period ending May 31, 2007 as an additional  Supplemental Plan
expense of $284,000 per quarter. This resulted in an aggregate Supplemental Plan
expense of  $1,047,000  for the second  quarter  period ended June 30, 2006,  as
compared to $464,000 for the first  quarter  period  ended March 31,  2006.  The
amortization of the additional minimum pension liability, although recorded as a
component of  compensation  expense in the Company's  consolidated  statement of
operations,  does not result in a decrease in total stockholders' equity, as its
recognition results in an increase in one component and a corresponding decrease
in another  component  of  stockholders'  equity.  See Part I - Item 1 - Note 9,
herein for further information.

     The Company  sponsors the AmBase 401(k) Savings Plan (the "Savings  Plan"),
which is a "Section 401(k) Plan" within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The Savings Plan permits eligible employees to
make  contributions  of up to 15% of  compensation,  which  are  matched  by the
Company at a percentage  determined  annually.  The employer  match is currently
100% of the amount the employee elects to defer.  Employee  contributions to the
Savings Plan are invested at the employee's  discretion,  in various  investment
funds. The Company's  matching  contributions are invested in the same manner as
the compensation reduction  contributions.  The Company's matching contributions
to the Savings Plan, charged to expense,  were $3,000 and $55,000 for the second
quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, and $3,000 and $43,000
for the second  quarter and six months  ended June 30, 2005,  respectively.  All
contributions are subject to maximum limitations contained in the Code.

Note 12 - Common Stock Repurchase Plan

     In January 2002, the Company  announced a common stock repurchase plan (the
"Repurchase  Plan") which allows for the  repurchase by the Company for up to 10
million shares of its common stock in the open market.

     The Repurchase Plan is conditioned upon favorable  business  conditions and
acceptable prices for the common stock.  Purchases under the Repurchase Plan may
be made,  from  time to time,  in the  open  market,  through  block  trades  or
otherwise.  Depending on market  conditions and other factors,  purchases may be
commenced or suspended any time or from time to time without prior notice.

     Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     This quarterly report may contain  "forward-looking  statements" within the
meaning of Section 27A of the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as amended (the "Act"),
and  Section  21E of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of  1934,  as  amended  (the
"Exchange  Act"),  or  make  oral  statements  that  constitute  forward-looking
statements. The Company intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by
the safe harbor  provisions  for  forward-looking  statements  contained  in the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are
inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which cannot be predicted
or  quantified.  The  forward-looking  statements  may relate to such matters as
anticipated  financial  performance,   future  revenues  or  earnings,  business
prospects,  projected  ventures,  anticipated  market  performance,  anticipated
litigation  results or the timing of pending  litigation,  and similar  matters.
When  used  in  this   Annual   Report,   the  words   "estimates,"   "expects,"
"anticipates,"  "believes,"  "plans," "intends" and variations of such words and
similar  expressions  are intended to identify  forward-looking  statements that
involve risks and uncertainties. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking  statements.  In order to comply
with the terms of the safe harbor,  the Company  cautions readers that a variety
of factors could cause the Company's  actual results to differ  materially  from
the  anticipated  results  or  other  expectations  expressed  in the  Company's
forward-looking  statements.  These risks and  uncertainties,  many of which are
beyond the Company's control,  include,  but are not limited to: (i) transaction
volume in the securities markets; (ii) the volatility of the securities markets;
(iii)  fluctuations  in interest  rates;  (iv) risks inherent in the real estate
business,  including,  but not limited to tenant defaults,  changes in occupancy
rates or real estate values; (v) changes in regulatory  requirements which could
affect the cost of doing  business;  (vi)  general  economic  conditions;  (vii)
changes  in the rate of  inflation  and the  related  impact  on the  securities
markets;  (viii)  changes in federal and state tax laws;  and (ix) risks arising
from  unfavorable  decisions  in our current  material  litigation  matters,  or
unfavorable  decisions in other  supervisory  goodwill cases.  These are not the
only risks that we face.  There may be additional risks that we do not presently
know of or that we currently  believe are immaterial which could also impair our
business and financial position.

     Undue reliance  should not be placed on these  forward-looking  statements,
which are  applicable  only as of the date  hereof.  The Company  undertakes  no
obligation  to revise or update  these  forward-looking  statements  to  reflect
events or circumstances that arise after the date of this quarterly report or to
reflect  the  occurrence  of  unanticipated  events.  Accordingly,  there  is no
assurance that the Company's expectations will be realized.

     Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations,  which follows,  should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial  statements and related notes, which are contained in Part I - Item 1,
herein and the Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2005.  As a result of the sale of the  Company's  38,000  square foot office
building at Two Soundview Drive in Greenwich, CT ("Two Soundview") in July 2005,
the results of operations of Two Soundview have been  designated as discontinued
operations,  and the  Consolidated  Statements  of  Operations  for the  periods
presented herein have been retroactively  reclassified to report the income from
discontinued  operations separately from the results of continuing operations by
excluding the operating  revenues and expenses of  discontinued  operations from
the respective  statement captions.  See Part I - Item 1 - Note 7 for additional
information concerning the sale of Two Soundview in July 2005.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's assets at June 30, 2006,  aggregated  $42,518,000  consisting
principally of cash and cash equivalents of $2,019,000, investment securities of
$38,202,000 and real estate owned of $2,196,000. At June 30, 2006, the Company's
liabilities aggregated $16,847,000. Total stockholders equity was $25,671,000.

     The liability for the Company's non tax-qualified  supplemental  retirement
plan, initially adopted by the Company in 1985, and as amended and restated (the
"Supplemental Plan"), which is accrued but not funded,  increased to $15,822,000
at June 30, 2006 from  $14,595,000 at December 31, 2005. The  Supplemental  Plan
liability  reflects the June 30, 2006 present value of the  anticipated  May 31,
2007 lump-sum  payment  amount of  $16,676,115,  utilizing a 5.75% discount rate
factor.  The  Supplemental  Plan liability can be further affected by changes in
discount rates,  mortality,  and experience  which could be different from those
assumed.



<PAGE>
     The  Personnel  Committee  of the Board of  Directors  of the Company  (the
"Personnel  Committee") reviewed the Supplemental Plan and the Company's related
liability,  including the  desirability of continuing to maintain and administer
the  Supplemental  Plan, the untying of Mr. Bianco's future  employment with the
Company  from the  timing  of his  Supplemental  Plan  benefit  payment(s),  the
Company's  overall financial  position,  and the desirability of future accruals
under the  Supplemental  Plan after Mr.  Bianco's  current  employment  contract
expires on May 31, 2007. In connection with this review, the Personnel Committee
considered various options, including whether or not to terminate and/or curtail
the Supplemental Plan. Mr. Bianco (the Company's  Chairman,  President and Chief
Executive  Officer,  and the former  President  and Chief  Executive  Officer of
Carteret  Savings  Bank,  FA), is the only  current  employee of the Company who
participates in the Supplemental Plan and his Supplemental Plan benefit is fully
vested.  For purposes of computing his accrued  benefit  under the  Supplemental
Plan,  Mr.  Bianco had 14.67 years of credited  service as of December 31, 2005,
and, assuming  continued  employment with the Company,  will have 16.08 years of
credited service upon the expiration of his current employment contract with the
Company on May 31, 2007. His accrual  percentage under the Supplemental  Plan is
4%, in effect from the time of his initial  employment with the Company,  and in
accordance with the Supplemental Plan (prior to its amendment  described below),
he had the  entitlement  to receive his  Supplemental  Plan  benefit in either a
lump-sum or an annuity upon termination of his employment with the Company.

     During March 2006, the Company entered into a new employment agreement with
Mr. Bianco to extend his employment  with the Company for an additional five (5)
years beyond May 31, 2007, until May 31, 2012 (the "2007 Employment Agreement").
As part of the 2007  Employment  Agreement terms (i) Mr. Bianco's annual rate of
base salary will not increase  from his current  rate of base salary  during the
first three years of the 2007  Employment  Agreement (the amount of Mr. Bianco's
base salary for the fourth and fifth years of the 2007 Employment Agreement term
to be determined by the Personnel Committee, in its sole discretion, although in
no event less than $625,000 per annum); (ii) Mr. Bianco's service accruals under
the  Supplemental  Plan will cease as of May 31, 2007;  (iii) Mr. Bianco's Final
Average  Earnings (as defined in the Supplemental  Plan) for  Supplemental  Plan
benefit calculation  purposes,  are capped as of December 31, 2004; and (iv) Mr.
Bianco's annual bonus  opportunity  will no longer be linked to recovery efforts
in connection with the Company's Supervisory Goodwill litigation. Instead, on or
about  May  31,  2007,  Mr.  Bianco  will  receive  a  lump-sum  payment  of his
Supplemental  Plan benefit of  $16,676,115,  which amount was  calculated on the
basis of a 5.75% discount rate, a "RP-2000"  projected to 2004 mortality  table;
and 16.08 years of credited service,  and the Company and Mr. Bianco have agreed
to a long term incentive bonus formula,  at varying  percentages ranging from 5%
to  10%,  or  more,  based  upon  recoveries  received  by the  Company  for its
investment in Carteret Savings Bank, through litigation or otherwise  (including
the Company's Supervisory Goodwill  litigation).  The lump-sum Supplemental Plan
benefit  payment to Mr. Bianco will be paid to him from the Company's  available
financial resources.

     The  Supplemental  Plan has  been  amended  to  provide  for its  automatic
termination  immediately following the payment to Mr. Bianco of his Supplemental
Plan  lump-sum  benefit  on or  about  May 31,  2007.  In  accordance  with  the
accounting for the Supplemental Plan's scheduled termination on or about May 31,
2007,  in  accordance  with  GAAP,  the  ultimate   liability  relating  to  the
anticipated  termination  of  the  Supplemental  Plan  is not  reflected  in the
financial   statements  presented  herein,  as  all  conditions  for  the  final
termination  of the  Supplemental  Plan have not yet been met.  The Company will
continue to recognize an expense for the Supplemental  Plan and the Supplemental
Plan liability will increase through the date on which the Supplemental  Plan is
terminated.

     For additional information with regard to the Supplemental Plan, see Part I
- Item 1 - Note 11 to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

     For the six months  ended June 30,  2006,  cash of  $2,576,000  was used by
continuing  operations,  including  the  payment  of  prior  year  accruals  and
operating expenses,  partially offset by the receipt of rental income,  interest
income and investment earnings.  The cash needs of the Company for the first six
months of 2006 were satisfied by the receipt of investment  earnings received on
investment  securities  and cash  equivalents,  rental  income and the Company's
current  financial  resources.  Management  believes  that  the  Company's  cash
resources are sufficient to continue operations for 2006.

     For the six months  ended June 30,  2005,  cash of  $4,522,000  was used by
continuing  operations,  including  the  payment  of  prior  year  accruals  and
operating  expenses  partially offset by the receipt of rental income,  interest
income, and investment earnings.


<PAGE>
     The Company continues to evaluate a number of possible  acquisitions and is
engaged  in  the  management  of  its  assets  and  liabilities,  including  the
contingent  assets.  Discussions  and  negotiations  are ongoing with respect to
certain of these  matters.  The  Company  intends to  aggressively  contest  all
litigation and contingencies, as well as pursue all sources for contributions to
settlements.  For a  discussion  of  lawsuits  and  proceedings,  including  the
Supervisory Goodwill litigation see Part I - Item 1 - Note 3.

     As of June 30, 2006,  the Company owns one commercial  office  buildings in
Greenwich,  Connecticut. The building is approximately 14,500 square feet and is
available  for lease to  unaffiliated  third  parties with  approximately  3,500
square feet utilized by the Company for its executive offices.

     See Part I - Item 1 - Note 7 for further information concerning the sale of
the Company's 38,000 square foot building in July 2005. A gain from the sale, of
approximately $10 million,  was reflected in the Company's financial  statements
for the year ending December 31, 2005.

     There are no material  commitments for capital  expenditures as of June 30,
2006.  See  Part I - Item 1 - Note 11 to the  Company's  consolidated  financial
statements for  information  regarding the  Supplemental  Plan lump-sum  benefit
payment of $16,676,115  (to Mr. Bianco,  the Company's  Chairman,  President and
Chief  Executive  Officer),  expected  to be paid  on or  about  May  31,  2007.
Inflation  has had no material  impact on the  business  and  operations  of the
Company.

     Pursuant to the Company's  Repurchase Plan, the Company  repurchased,  from
unaffiliated  parties,  shares of common stock during 2006 as follows:  February
2006,  970,000  shares at a purchase  price of $0.58 per  share;  and June 2006,
50,000 shares at a purchase price of $0.49 per share. See Part I - Item 1 - Note
12 for further  information  regarding  the  Company's  purchase of common stock
pursuant to its common stock repurchase plan.

     In  December  2004,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  ("FASB")
released SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123R"), which
is a revision of Statement 123. SFAS 123R supersedes Accounting Principles Board
Option No. 25,  "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"). SFAS 123R
requires all  share-based  payments to employees,  including  grants of employee
stock  options,  to be recognized in the statement of operations  based on their
fair values.  SFAS 123R is effective for fiscal years  beginning  after December
15, 2005;  however,  early adoption is permitted.  The Company adopted SFAS 123R
effective  on January 1, 2006.  In  accordance  with SFAS 123R,  the Company has
applied  the  "modified  prospective"  method  in  which  compensation  cost  is
recognized  beginning with the effective date (a) based on the  requirements  of
SFAS 123R for all share-based  payments granted after the effective date and (b)
based on the  requirements of SFAS 123 for all awards granted to employees prior
to the effective date of SFAS 123R that remain  unvested on the effective  date.
For further  information  regarding the Company's  adoption of SFAS 123R and its
impact on the Company's financial  statements,  see Part I - Item 1 - Note 10 to
the Company's consolidated financial statements.

     Results of Operations  for the Second Quarter and Six Months ended June 30,
2006 vs. the Second Quarter and Six Months Ended June 30, 2005

CONTINUING OPERATIONS

     The  Company's  main source of operating  revenue has recently  been rental
income earned on real estate owned. The Company also earns non-operating revenue
consisting  principally of investment earnings on investment securities and cash
equivalents.  The Company's management expects that operating cash needs for the
remainder  of 2006  will be met  principally  by the  receipt  of  non-operating
revenue  consisting of investment  earnings on  investment  securities  and cash
equivalents,  the Company's  current financial  resources,  and rental income on
real estate owned.

     As indicated  herein, as a result of the sale, the operating results of the
Company's  Two  Soundview  property for the periods ended prior to the July 2005
sale have been reclassified to discontinued  operations and accordingly,  rental
income from real estate owned  represents the Company's  remaining  property and
was $49,000 and  $90,000  for the second  quarter and six months  ended June 30,
2006 as compared  to $43,000  and $86,000 for the second  quarter and six months
ended June 30,  2005.  The  increased  amount of $49,000 and $90,000 in the 2006
period,  compared to $43,000 and $86,000 in the 2005 period,  is principally the
result of a slight increase in tenant reimbursables in 2006 versus the same 2005
periods.


<PAGE>
     Compensation and benefits increased to $1,596,000 in the second quarter and
$2,684,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2006,  compared with  $1,105,000 and
$2,275,000  in  respective  2005  periods.  The increase is primarily  due to an
increased  Supplemental  Retirement Plan  ("Supplemental  Plan") expense for the
second  quarter  ended  June  30,  2006,  offset  slightly  by a lower  level of
incentive compensation accruals.

     The Supplemental  Plan expense was $1,047,000 and $1,511,000 for the second
quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006,  respectively,  compared to $522,000
and  $1,043,000  for the  second  quarter  and six months  ended June 30,  2005,
respectively.

     The increased Supplemental Plan expense is due to recognition of an expense
in the  second  quarter  ended  June 30,  2006,  of  $763,000  to  increase  the
Supplemental  Plan  liability to reflect the June 30, 2006 present  value of the
anticipated  May 31, 2007 lump-sum  payment amount of  $16,676,115,  utilizing a
5.75% discount rate factor based on the 2007  Employment  Agreement  between the
Company and Mr.  Bianco and the  amendment of the  Supplemental  Plan as further
described in Part I - Item 1 - Note 11 to the Company's  consolidated  financial
statements.

     Additionally,  a Supplemental  Plan expense of $284,000 was recorded in the
second  quarter ended June 30, 2006, to amortize the  Supplemental  Plan minimum
pension liability adjustment. The minimum pension liability adjustment, which is
included  as a  component  of  stockholders'  equity  within  accumulated  other
comprehensive  loss in the  Company's  consolidated  financial  statements,  was
$1,326,000 as of March 31, 2006, and is being amortized on a straight line basis
over the 14-month period ending May 31, 2007, as an additional Supplemental Plan
expense of $284,000 per quarter. This resulted in an aggregate Supplemental Plan
expense of  $1,047,000  for the second  quarter  period ended June 30, 2006,  as
compared to $464,000 for the first  quarter  period  ended March 31,  2006.  The
amortization of the additional minimum pension liability, although recorded as a
component of  compensation  expense in the Company's  consolidated  statement of
operations,  does not result in a decrease in total stockholders' equity, as its
recognition results in an increase in one component and a corresponding decrease
in another component of stockholders'  equity. See Part I - Item 1 - Notes 9 and
11 to the Company's consolidated financial statements for further information.

     As noted above, the Company adopted  Statement 123R effective on January 1,
2006.  In  accordance  with SFAS 123R,  the Company  has  applied the  "modified
prospective"  method in which  compensation cost for stock options is recognized
beginning  with the  effective  date.  During the second  quarter and six months
ended June 30, 2006, the Company recorded $22,000 and $44,000,  respectively, of
compensation expense relating to stock options. In accordance with the "modified
prospective"  method,  no  compensation  expense  relating to stock  options was
recorded for the second  quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005. For further
information  regarding the Company's adoption of SFAS 123R and its impact on the
Company's financial  statements,  see Part I - Item 1 - Note 10 to the Company's
consolidated financial statements.

     Professional and outside services increased to $1,003,000 and $1,721,000 in
the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006,  compared to $661,000 and
$1,114,000  in the  respective  2005  periods.  The increases in the 2006 second
quarter  and six month  periods as compared to the  respective  2005  periods is
principally  the  result  of a  higher  level  of  legal  fees  relating  to the
Supervisory  Goodwill  litigation as a result of discovery in 2006,  relating to
the Show Cause hearing and, to a lesser  extent,  other  corporate  professional
fees.

     Property  operating and  maintenance  expenses were $30,000 and $61,000 for
the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, compared to
$42,000 and $70,000 in the respective  2005 periods.  The decreased  expenses in
2006  compared to the 2005 periods are due to a decrease in the level of repairs
and maintenance  expenses.  Property operating and maintenance expenses have not
been reduced by tenant reimbursements.

     Interest  income in the second  quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006,
increased to $457,000 and $877,000, respectively, from $146,000 and $271,000, in
the respective  2005 periods.  The increase is principally due to an increase in
the aggregate amount of cash equivalents and investment securities invested as a
result of the cash proceeds  received in connection with the sale of real estate
owned in July 2005,  and to a lesser extent,  an increased  yield on investments
due to rising interest rates, as further discussed in Part I - Item 1 - Note 7.

     Other income of $72,000 in the second quarter and six months ended June 30,
2006, is attributable to settlement  proceeds  received from the litigation with
SDG, Inc., as further described in Part I - Item 1 - Note 3. The Company remains
a  shareholder  in SDG and  AMDG,  but has no  current  carrying  value for this
investment, as the Company's original cost basis was previously written off.

     No  investment  securities  available  for sale were sold in the six months
ended June 30, 2006.  For the six months ended June 30, 2005,  realized gains on
sales of investment securities available for sale were $20,000.

     The income tax provisions of $33,000 and $66,000 for the second quarter and
six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, and $30,000 and $60,000 the second
quarter  and six  months  ended  June  30,  2005,  respectively,  are  primarily
attributable  to a  provision  for a  minimum  tax on  capital  to the  state of
Connecticut.  Income taxes  applicable to operating  income (loss) are generally
determined by applying the estimated effective annual income tax rates to pretax
income (loss) for the  year-to-date  interim period.  Income taxes applicable to
unusual or infrequently occurring items are provided in the period in which such
items occur.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

     As  discussed  in  Part I - Item 1 - Note  7, in  July  2005,  the  Company
completed the sale of Two Soundview.  The sale price was $28,000,000 less normal
real  estate  closing  adjustments.  A gain  from  the  sale of  $10,298,000  is
reflected in the Company's financial statements for the year ending December 31,
2005.

     Income from  discontinued  operations  was  $345,000  and  $686,000 for the
second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005.

Item 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     The Company holds  short-term  investments  as a source of  liquidity.  The
Company's  interest rate sensitive  investments with maturity dates of less than
one year consist of the following:

</TABLE>

     The Company's  current  policy is to minimize the interest rate risk of its
short-term  investments by investing in U.S.  Treasury Bills with  maturities of
less than one year. There were no significant changes in market exposures or the
manner in which interest rate risk is managed during the period.

     The Company's  portfolio of equity  securities has exposure to equity price
risk. Equity price risk is defined as the potential loss in fair value resulting
from an adverse  change in prices.  The equity  securities  are primarily in the
form of preferred stock in utility companies. The equity securities are held for
an indefinite period and are carried at fair value with net unrealized gains and
losses recorded directly in a separate component of stockholder's equity.

     The table below  summarizes  the Company's  equity price risk and shows the
effect of a hypothetical 20% increase and 20% decrease in market price as of the
dates indicated  below. The selected  hypothetical  changes are for illustrative
purposes  only and are not  necessarily  indicative  of the  best or worse  case
scenarios.
