1.    Principles of Reporting

      The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of New Valley
      Corporation and Subsidiaries (the "Company"). The consolidated financial
      statements as of June 30, 1998 presented herein have been prepared by the
      Company without an audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments,
      consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present
      fairly the financial position as of June 30, 1998 and the results of
      operations and cash flows for all periods presented have been made.
      Results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the
      results for an entire year.

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
      accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
      assumptions 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 those
      estimates.

      These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
      consolidated financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form
      10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 1997 as filed with the
      Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission File No. 1-2493).

      Certain reclassifications have been made to prior interim period financial
      information to conform with current year presentation.

      New Accounting Pronouncements

      In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
      Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income"
      ("SFAS No. 130"). The Statement, which the Company adopted in the first
      quarter of 1998, establishes standards for reporting and displaying
      comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-purpose
      financial statements. Where applicable, earlier periods have been restated
      to conform to the standards established by SFAS No. 130. The adoption of
      SFAS 130 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial
      statements.

      For transactions entered into in fiscal years beginning after December 15,
      1997, the Company adopted and is reporting in accordance with SOP 97-2,
      "Software Revenue Recognition". The adoption of SOP 97-2 did not have a
      material impact on the Company's financial statements.

      In March 1998, the AICPA issued SOP 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of
      Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." SOP 98-1
      provides guidance that the carrying value of software developed or
      obtained for internal use is assessed based upon an analysis of estimated
      future cash flows on an undiscounted basis and before interest charges.
      SOP 98-1 is effective for transactions entered into in fiscal years
      beginning after December 15, 1998. The Company believes that adoption of
      SOP 98-1 will not have a material impact on the Company's financial
      statements.

      In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of
      an Enterprise and Related Information", which establishes standards for
      the way that public business enterprises report information about
      operating segments. SFAS No. 131 is effective for financial statements for
      fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company is currently
      reviewing its operating segment disclosures and will adopt SFAS No. 131 in
      the fourth quarter of 1998.

      In June, 1998, FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
      Instruments and Hedging Activities". SFAS No. 133 is effective for all
      fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. SFAS
      133 requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance
      sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded
      each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income, depending
      on whether a derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction and,
      if it is, the type of hedge transaction. The Company has not yet
      determined the impact that the adoption of SFAS 133 will have on its
      earnings or statement of financial position.

2.    Western Realty

      On January 31, 1997, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement
      with Brooke (Overseas) Ltd. ("Brooke (Overseas)"), a wholly-owned
      subsidiary of Brooke Group Ltd. ("Brooke"), an affiliate of the Company,
      pursuant to which the Company acquired 10,483 shares (the "BML Shares") of
      the common stock of BrookeMil Ltd. ("BML") from Brooke (Overseas) for a
      purchase price of $55,000, consisting of $21,500 in cash and a $33,500 9%
      promissory note of the Company (the "Note"). The BML Shares comprise 99.1%
      of the outstanding shares of BML, a real estate development company in
      Russia. The Note, which was collateralized by the BML Shares, was paid
      during 1997.

      Western Realty Development LLC

      In February 1998, the Company and Apollo Real Estate Investment Fund III,
      L.P. ("Apollo") organized Western Realty Development LLC ("Western Realty
      Ducat") to make real estate and other investments in Russia. In connection
      with the formation of Western Realty, the Company agreed, among other
      things, to contribute the real estate assets of BML, including Ducat Place
      II and the site for Ducat Place III, to Western Realty and Apollo agreed
      to contribute up to $58,750, including the investment in Western Realty
      Repin discussed below. Through June 30, 1998, Apollo had funded $27,900 of
      its investment in Western Realty Ducat.

      The ownership and voting interests in Western Realty Ducat will be held
      equally by Apollo and the Company. Apollo will be entitled to a preference
      on distributions of cash from Western Realty Ducat to the extent of its
      investment ($40,000), together with a 15% annual rate of return, and the
      Company will then be entitled to a return of $10,000 of BML-related
      expenses incurred by the Company since March 1, 1997, together with a 15%
      annual rate of return; subsequent distributions will be made 70% to the
      Company and 30% to Apollo. Western Realty Ducat will be managed by a Board
      of Managers consisting of an equal number of representatives chosen by
      Apollo and the Company. All material corporate transactions by Western
      Realty Ducat will generally require the unanimous consent of the Board of
      Managers. Accordingly, the Company has accounted for its non-controlling
      interest in Western Realty Ducat using the equity method of accounting.

      The Company recorded its basis in the investment in the joint venture in
      the amount of $60,169 based on the carrying value of assets less
      liabilities transferred. There was no difference between the carrying
      value of the investment and the Company's proportionate interest in the
      underlying value of net assets of the joint venture.

      investments in Russia. Western Realty Ducat has made a $20,000
      participating loan to, and payable out of a 30% profits interest in, a
      company organized by Brooke (Overseas) which, among other things, owns an
      industrial site and manufacturing facility being constructed on the
      outskirts of Moscow by a subsidiary of Brooke (Overseas).


      Western Realty Repin LLC

      In June 1998, the Company and Apollo organized Western Realty Repin LLC
      ("Western Realty Repin") to make a $25,000 participating loan (the "Repin
      Loan") to BML. The proceeds of the loan will be used by BML for the
      acquisition and preliminary development of two adjoining sites totaling
      10.25 acres (the "Kremlin Sites") located in Moscow across the Moscow
      River from the Kremlin. BML, which is planning the development of a 1.1
      million sq. ft. hotel, office, retail and residential complex on the
      Kremlin Sites, owned 92.8% of one site and 52% of the other site at June
      30, 1998. Apollo will be entitled to a preference on distributions of cash
      from Western Realty Repin to the extent of its investment ($18,750),
      together with a 20% annual rate of return, and the Company will then be
      entitled to a return of its investment ($6,250), together with a 20%
      annual rate of return; subsequent distributions will be made 50% to the
      Company and 50% to Apollo. Western Realty Repin will be managed by a Board
      of Managers consisting of an equal number of representatives chosen by
      Apollo and the Company. All material corporate transactions by Western
      Realty Repin will generally require the unanimous consent of the Board of
      Managers.

      On June 18, 1998, Western Realty Repin made a $9,000 first advance (funded
      by Apollo) under the Repin Loan to BML, which is classified in other
      long-term obligations on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at June
      30, 1998. The Repin Loan, which bears no fixed interest, is payable only
      out of 100% of the distributions, if made, by the entities owning the
      Kremlin Sites to BML. Such distributions shall be applied first to pay the
      principal of the Repin Loan and then as contingent participating interest
      on the Repin Loan. Any rights of payment on the Repin Loan are subordinate
      to the rights of all other creditors of BML. Apollo funded an additional
      advance of $5,300 under the Repin Loan on July 2, 1998. BML used the
      proceeds to repay the Company for certain expenditures on the Kremlin
      Sites previously incurred. The Repin Loan is due and payable upon the
      dissolution of BML and is collateralized by a pledge of the Company's
      shares of BML.

      As of June 30, 1998, BML had invested $14,423 in the Kremlin Sites and
      held $4,165, in cash, which was restricted for future investment. In
      connection with the acquisition of its interest in one of the Kremlin
      Sites, BML has agreed with the City of Moscow to invest an additional
      $6,000 in 1998 and $22,000 in 1999 in the development of the property.

4.    Long-Term Investments

      At June 30, 1998, long-term investments consisted primarily of investments
      in limited partnerships of $23,725. The Company is required under certain
      limited partnership agreements to make additional investments of up to an
      aggregate of $7,900 at June 30, 1998. The Company believes the fair value
      of the limited partnerships exceeds its carrying amount by approximately
      $6,500 based on the indicated market values of the underlying investment
      portfolio provided by the partnerships. The Company recognized gains of
      $2,020 and $3,228 on liquidations of investments of certain limited
      partnerships for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998,
      respectively. The Company's investments in limited partnerships are
      illiquid and the ultimate realizations of these investments are subject to
      the performance of the underlying partnership and its management by the
      general partners. The Company may sell or liquidate certain limited
      partnership interests in the future. Any sale of such interests would be
      subject to the approval of the general partner.

      In the first quarter of 1997, the Company determined that an other than
      temporary impairment in the value of its investment in a joint venture had
      occurred and wrote down this investment to zero with a charge to
      operations of $3,796 for the three month period. The Company's estimates
      of the fair value of its long-term investments are subject to judgment and
      are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in
      the current market.

5.    Real Estate

      The Company is currently engaged in negotiations to sell its four office
      buildings in the third quarter of 1998. At June 30, 1998, the buildings
      had a carrying value of $106,012 and are encumbered by mortgage notes
      totaling $99,106. The Company may seek to dispose of other U.S. real
      estate holdings in the future.

6.    Redeemable Preferred Shares

      At June 30, 1998, the Company had authorized and outstanding 2,000,000 and
      1,071,462, respectively, of its Class A Senior Preferred Shares. At June
      30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively, the carrying value of such
      shares amounted to $285,932 and $258,638, including undeclared dividends
      of $189,729 and $163,302 or $177.07 and $152.41 per share. As of June 30,
      1998, the unamortized discount on the Class A Senior Preferred Shares was
      $7,319.

      For the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company recorded
      $745 and $1,458 in compensation expense, respectively, related to certain
      Class A Senior Preferred Shares awarded to an officer of the Company in
      1996. At June 30, 1998, the balance of the deferred compensation and the
      unamortized discount related to these award shares was $3,624 and $2,697,
      respectively.

7.    Preferred Shares Not Subject to Redemption Requirements

      The undeclared dividends, as adjusted for conversions of Class B Preferred
      Shares into Common Shares, cumulatively amounted to $152,166 and $139,412
      at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively. These undeclared
      dividends represent $54.52 and $49.95 per share as of the end of each
      period. No accrual was recorded for such undeclared dividends as the Class
      B Preferred Shares are not mandatorily redeemable.

8.    Contingencies

      Litigation

      On or about March 13, 1997, a shareholder derivative suit was filed
      against the Company, as a nominal defendant, its directors and Brooke in
      the Delaware Chancery Court, by a shareholder of the Company. The suit
      alleges that the Company's purchase of the BML Shares constituted a
      self-dealing transaction which involved the payment of excessive
      consideration by the Company. The plaintiff seeks (i) a declaration that
      the Company's directors breached their fiduciary duties, Brooke aided and
      abetted such breaches and such parties are therefore liable to the
      Company, and (ii) unspecified damages to be awarded to the Company. The
      Company's time to respond to the complaint has not yet expired. The
      Company believes that the allegations were without merit. Although there
      can be no assurances, management is of the opinion, after consultation
      with counsel, that the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a
      material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position,
      results of operations or cash flows.

      The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits and may be subject to
      unasserted claims primarily in connection with its activities as a
      securities broker-dealer and participation in public underwritings. These
      lawsuits involve claims for substantial or indeterminate amounts and are
      in varying stages of legal proceedings. In the opinion of management,
      after consultation with counsel,

      the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse
      effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of
      operations or cash flows.

      Prepetition Claims Under Chapter 11 and Restructuring Accruals

      The prepetition claims remaining as of June 30, 1998 of $12,402 may be
      subject to future adjustments depending on pending discussions with the
      various parties and the decisions of the Bankruptcy Court.
