              NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
           THREE MONTHS AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996


1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements, which are for
interim periods, do not include all disclosures provided in the annual
financial statements. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and the footnotes thereto
contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December
31, 1996 of General Residential Corporation (the "Company"), as filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The December 31, 1996
balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not
include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles.

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial
statements contain all adjustments (which are of a normal recurring
nature) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements.
The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year.


2. PURCHASE AND RETIREMENT OF COMMON STOCK

During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company purchased and retired
322,802 (pre-split) shares of its common stock for an aggregate cash payment of
$19,368.

On July 16, 1997, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation to (i)
effect a one for 200,000 reverse stock split of the Company's currently issued
and outstanding common stock, and (ii) change the number of shares of common
stock the Company is authorized to issue to 250 shares with a par value per
share of $1.00. Prior to the amendment, the Company was authorized to issue
50,000,000 shares with a par value of $.01. As a result of the reverse split,
the Company will issue 71.0787 shares of common stock in exchange for 14,215,738
pre-split shares and will repurchase 1,820,720 pre-split shares for an aggregate
purchase price of $109,243. The effects of the reverse split have been reflected
in the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements.
