                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (unaudited)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




1.       In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
         financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present
         fairly the financial position as of July 31, 1997 and the results of
         operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended July 31,
         1997 and 1996 and cash flows for the six-month periods ended July 31,
         1997 and 1996. The results of operations for the six-month period ended
         July 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
         expected for the full year.

2.       Margolis & Company P.C., the Company's auditors, has performed a
         limited review of the financial information for the periods ended July
         31, 1997 included herein. Their report on such review accompanies this
         filing.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



To the Board of Directors
Bala Cynwyd Corporation
Bala Cynwyd, PA

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed balance sheet of Bala Cynwyd
Corporation as of July 31, 1997 and the related condensed statements of
operations for the three-month and six- month periods ended July 31, 1997 and
cash flows for the six-month periods ended July 31, 1997. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying condensed financial statements for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the balance sheet as of January 31, 1997 and the related statements
of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not
presented herein); and in our report dated January 10, 2000, we expressed an
unqualified opinion on those financial statements. In our opinion, the
information set forth in the accompanying condensed balance sheet as of January
31, 1997 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the balance
sheet from which it has been derived.

The financial statements of Bala Cynwyd Corporation for the three-month and
six-month periods ended July 31, 1996 were prepared by management and were not
audited or reviewed by an independent accountant.

         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL CONDITION
                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                   (unaudited)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Nature of Business
------------------

The Company presently conducts no business, but is searching for appropriate
investment and acquisition opportunities. Its only income consists of interest
from investment income.




Results of Operations
---------------------

During the six months ended July 31, 1997, the Company earned interest of
$10,418 as compared to $10,434 of interest earned in the six months ended July
31, 1996, a decrease of $16. During the six months ended July 31, 1997, the
Company incurred general and administrative expenses of $2,394, a decrease of
$14,090 as compared with the six months ended July 31, 1996 expenses of $16,484.




Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

During the six months ended July 31, 1997, the Company satisfied its working
capital needs from cash on hand at the beginning of the year and cash generated
from interest income during the period. As of July 31, 1997, the Company had
working capital of $449,186. This working capital is expected to provide the
Company with sufficient capital while it seeks a merger, acquisition or other
arrangement by and between the Company and a viable operating entity, although
there is no assurance that this will occur.
