                                  (unaudited)

                        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 October 31, 1997 and the related condensed statements of
operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended October 31, 1997 and
cash flows for the nine-month periods ended October 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
nine-month periods ended October 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 nine months ended October 31, 1997, the Company earned interest of
$15,937 as compared to $35,861 of interest earned in the nine months ended
October 31, 1996, a decrease of $19,924. During the nine months ended October
31, 1997, the Company incurred general and administrative expenses of $2,833, a
decrease of $41,000 as compared with the nine months ended October 31, 1996
expenses of $43,833 due to a decrease in professional fees.



Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the nine months ended October 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 October 31, 1997, the Company had
working capital of $453,072. 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.
