Owing to the loss of sizeable institutional accounts in 1997 and 1998, and some withdrawals from existing accounts, partially offset by strong performance results in equity accounts over the last year, assets under management at June 30, 1998 totaled $2.22 billion, 23% less than a year ago, and 17% below year-end 1997. Account losses have been the result of below market performance for equity accounts in 1996 and 1997.

Owing to the non-cash compensation charges of $563,000, operating expenses increased 23% to $3.4 million, compared with $2.8 million a year ago. Before these charges, operating expenses totaled $2.9 million, or a 3% increase over 1997. As a result, operating income before non-cash compensation charges declined 4% to $1.6 million (36% margin), compared with $1.7 million (38% margin) in the 1997 quarter.

IV. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES ------------------------------- At June 30, 1998 the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $5.1 million, compared with $3.8 million at the end of 1997. Operating activities provided net cash inflows of $876,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared with $2.2 million in the same period in 1997. This reflects the changing levels of operating income and net income over those periods. Net cash provided by investing activities totaled $390,000 in the 1998 period, compared with $8.1 million in the similar 1997 period. Investments in marketable securities aggregated $71.7 million at June 30, 1998, compared with $63.0 million at the end of 1997. Shareholders' equity totaled $80.2 million at June 30, 1998, compared with $70.6 million at the end of 1997, primarily due to net income of $3.7 million recorded in the first six months of 1998, and the net unrealized gain of $6.2 million in shareholders' equity at June 30, 1998, compared with $1.3 million at the end of 1997.

In September, 1997, the Company awarded 775,000 shares of restricted stock at the issue price of $.01 per share to two senior executives under the terms of the LTIP. Such awards vest over four years. The difference of $9.0 million between the market value ($11.625 per share) of the shares awarded on the date of grant and the purchase price of $.01 per share was recorded as unearned compensation in shareholders' equity and is being amortized over a four-year period which commenced with the fourth quarter of 1997.
