VORNADO REALTY L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Vornado Realty L.P. (the “Operating Partnership” and/or the “Company”) is a Delaware limited partnership. Vornado Realty Trust (“Vornado”), a fully-integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”), is the sole general partner of, and owned approximately 89.9% of the common limited partnership interest in, the Operating Partnership at June 30, 2007. All references to “we,” “us,” the “Operating Partnership” and the “Company” refer to Vornado Realty L.P. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In our opinion, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flows have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Vornado Realty L.P., as well as certain partially owned entities in which we own more than 50% unless a partner has shared board and management representation and substantive participation rights on all significant business decisions, or 50% or less when (i) we are the primary beneficiary and the entity qualifies as a variable interest entity under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46 (Revised) – Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“FIN 46R”), or (ii) when we are a general partner that meets the criteria under Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 04-5. We consolidate our 47.6% investment in AmeriCold Realty Trust because we have the contractual right to appoint three out of five members of its Board of Trustees, and therefore determined that we have a controlling interest. All significant inter-company amounts have been eliminated. Equity interests in partially owned entities are accounted for under the equity method of accounting when they do not meet the criteria for consolidation and our ownership interest is greater than 20%. When partially owned investments are in partnership form, the 20% threshold for equity method accounting is generally reduced to 3% to 5%, based on our ability to influence the operating and financial policies of the partnership. Investments accounted for under the equity method are initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for our share of the net income or loss and cash contributions and distributions to or from these entities. Investments in partially-owned entities that do not meet the criteria for consolidation or for equity method accounting are accounted for on the cost method.
We have made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Certain prior year balances related to discontinued operations and provision for income taxes have been reclassified in order to conform to current year presentation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)
3. | Recently Issued Accounting Literature |
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 establishes new evaluation and measurement processes for all income tax positions taken. FIN 48 also requires expanded disclosures of income tax matters. The adoption of this standard on January 1, 2007 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. This statement clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability. SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data. SFAS No. 157 applies whenever other standards require assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. This statement is effective in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We believe that the adoption of this standard on January 1, 2008 will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 158, Employer’s Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an Amendment of SFAS No. 87, 88, 106 and 132R (“SFAS No. 158”). SFAS No. 158 requires an employer to (i) recognize in its statement of financial position an asset for a plan’s over-funded status or a liability for a plan’s under-funded status; (ii) measure a plan’s assets and its obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the employer’s fiscal year (with limited exceptions); and (iii) recognize changes in the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan in the year in which the changes occur. Those changes will be reported in comprehensive income. The adoption of the requirement to recognize the funded status of a benefit plan and the disclosure requirements as of December 31, 2006 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations to determine the funded status as of the end of the fiscal year and to recognize changes in the funded status in the year in which the changes occur is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The adoption of the measurement date provisions of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 expands opportunities to use fair value measurement in financial reporting and permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We have not decided if we will choose to measure any eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value upon the adoption of this standard on January 1, 2008.
On July 25, 2007, the FASB authorized a FASB Staff Position (the “proposed FSP”) that, if issued, would affect the accounting for our convertible senior debentures issued to Vornado and our exchangeable senior debentures. If issued in the form expected, the proposed FSP would require that the initial debt proceeds from the sale of our convertible and exchangeable senior debentures be allocated between a liability component and an equity component. The resulting debt discount would be amortized over the period the debt is expected to be outstanding as additional interest expense. The proposed FSP is expected to be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007, require retroactive application and result in approximately $47,000,000 of additional interest expense per annum.

100 West 33rd Street, New York City (the “Manhattan Mall”)
On January 10, 2007, we acquired the Manhattan Mall for approximately $689,000,000 in cash. This mixed-use property is located on the entire Sixth Avenue block-front between 32nd and 33rd Streets in Manhattan and contains approximately 1,000,000 square feet, including 812,000 square feet of office space and 164,000 square feet of retail space. Included as part of the transaction are 250,000 square feet of additional air rights. The property is adjacent to our 1,400,000 square foot Hotel Pennsylvania. At closing, we completed a $232,000,000 financing secured by the property, which bears interest at LIBOR plus 0.55% (5.87% at June 30, 2007) and matures in two years with three one-year extension options. The operations of the office component of the property are included in the New York Office segment and the operations of the retail component are included in the Retail segment. We consolidate the accounts of this property into our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.
Bruckner Plaza, Bronx, New York
On January 11, 2007, we acquired the Bruckner Plaza shopping center, and an adjacent parcel containing 114,000 square feet which is ground leased to a third party, for approximately $165,000,000 in cash. The property is located on Bruckner Boulevard in the Bronx, New York and contains 386,000 square feet of retail space. We consolidate the accounts of this property into our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.
1290 Avenue of the Americas and 555 California Street
On May 24, 2007, we acquired a 70% controlling interest in 1290 Avenue of the Americas, a 2,000,000 square foot Manhattan office building, located on the block-front between 51st and 52nd Street on Avenue of the Americas, and the 3- building 555 California Street complex (“555 California Street”) containing 1,800,000 square feet, known as the Bank of America Center, located at California and Montgomery Streets in San Francisco’s financial district. The purchase price for our 70% interest in the real estate was approximately $1.8 billion, consisting of $1.0 billion of cash and $797,000,000 of existing debt. Our share of the debt is comprised of $308,000,000 secured by 1290 Avenue of the Americas and $489,000,000 secured by 555 California Street. Our 70% interest was acquired through the purchase of all of the shares of a group of foreign companies that own, through U.S. entities, the 1% sole general partnership interest and a 69% limited partnership interest in the partnerships that own the two properties. The remaining 30% limited partnership interest is owned by Donald J. Trump. We consolidate the accounts of these properties into our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.
In August 2005, Mr. Trump brought a lawsuit in the New York State Supreme Court against, among others, the general partners of the partnerships referred to above. Mr. Trump’s claims arose out of a dispute over the sale price of, and use of proceeds from, the sale of properties located on the former Penn Central rail yards between West 59th and 72nd Streets in Manhattan which were formerly owned by the partnerships. In decisions dated September 14, 2005 and July 24, 2006, the Court denied various of Mr. Trump’s motions and ultimately dismissed all of Mr. Trump’s claims, except for his claim seeking access to books and records, which remains pending. Mr. Trump has sought re-argument and renewal on, and filed a notice of appeal in connection with, his dismissed claims.
In connection with the acquisition, we agreed to indemnify the sellers for liabilities and expenses arising out of Mr. Trump’s claim that the general partners of the partnerships we acquired did not sell the rail yards at a fair price or could have sold the rail yards for a greater price and any other claims asserted in the legal action; provided however, that if Mr. Trump prevails on certain claims involving partnership matters, other than claims relating to sale price, the sellers will be required to reimburse us for certain costs related to those claims. We believe that the claims relating to the sale price are without merit. All other allegations are not asserted as a basis for damages and regardless of merit would not be material to our consolidated financial statements.

H Street Building Corporation (“H Street”)
In July 2005, we acquired H Street, which owns a 50% interest in real estate assets located in Pentagon City, Virginia and Washington, DC. On April 30, 2007, we acquired the corporations that own the remaining 50% interest in these assets for approximately $383,000,000, consisting of $333,000,000 in cash and $50,000,000 of existing mortgages. These assets include twin office buildings located in Washington, DC, containing 577,000 square feet, and assets located in Pentagon City, Virginia comprised of 34 acres of land leased to three residential and retail operators, a 1,670 unit high-rise apartment complex and 10 acres of vacant land. In conjunction with this acquisition all existing litigation has been dismissed. Beginning on April 30, 2007, we consolidate the accounts of these entities into our consolidated financial statements and no longer account for them on the equity method.
Further, we have agreed to sell approximately 19.6 of the 34 acres of land to one of the existing ground lessees in two closings over a two-year period for approximately $220,000,000 in cash. The first closing was completed on May 11, 2007 for approximately $104,000,000. Our net gain on sale of $15,831,000 was deferred because the buyer’s cash down payment was not sufficient for gain recognition pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 66 – Accounting For Sales of Real Estate, and will be recognized upon receipt of the remaining sale proceeds in the fourth quarter of 2007. In April 2007, we received letters from the two remaining ground lessees claiming a right of first offer on the sale of the land, one of which has since retracted its letter and reserved its rights under the lease.
Our total purchase price for 100% of the assets we will own, after the anticipated proceeds from the land sale, is $409,000,000, consisting of $286,000,000 in cash and $123,000,000 of existing mortgages.
Toys “R” Us Stores
On May 31, 2007, we acquired four properties from Toys “R” Us (“Toys”) for $12,242,000 in cash, which completed our September 2006 agreement to acquire 43 stores that were closed as part of Toys’ January 2006 store closing program. We consolidate the accounts of these properties into our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Our $1,045,000 share of Toys net gain on this transaction was recorded as an adjustment to the basis of our investment in Toys and was not recorded as income.
India Property Fund LP
In 2005 and 2006, we invested $94,200,000 in two joint ventures established to acquire, manage and develop real estate in India. On June 14, 2007, we committed to contribute $95,000,000 to a third venture, the India Property Fund, LP (the “Fund”), also established to acquire, manage and develop real estate in India. We satisfied $77,000,000 of our commitment by contributing our interest in one of the above mentioned joint ventures to the Fund. The Fund will seek to raise additional equity; as of June 30, 2007, we own 95% of the Fund and therefore consolidate the accounts of the Fund into our consolidated financial statements, pursuant to the requirements of FIN 46 (R) - Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.

Shopping Center Portfolio Acquisition
On June 26, 2007, we entered into an agreement to acquire a 15 shopping center portfolio aggregating approximately 1.9 million square feet. The properties are located primarily in Northern New Jersey and Long Island, New York. The purchase price is approximately $351,000,000, consisting of approximately $120,000,000 of cash, $89,000,000 of newly issued Vornado Realty L.P. redeemable preferred and common units and $142,000,000 of existing debt. On June 28, 2007, we completed the acquisition of five of the shopping centers for $116,561,000, consisting of $94,179,000 in cash, $15,993,000 in Vornado Realty L.P. preferred units and $6,389,000 of Vornado Realty L.P. common units. We consolidate the accounts of these properties into our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The closing of the remaining shopping centers is expected to occur in two additional tranches and be completed by the end of 2007, subject to customary closing conditions.
5. | Derivative Instruments and Related Marketable Securities |
Investment in McDonald’s Corporation (“McDonalds”) (NYSE: MCD)
As of June 30, 2007, we own 858,000 common shares of McDonalds which we acquired in July 2005 for $25,346,000, an average price of $29.54 per share. These shares are recorded as marketable equity securities on our consolidated balance sheets and are classified as “available for sale.” Appreciation or depreciation in the fair market value of these shares is recorded as an increase or decrease in “accumulated other comprehensive income” in the partners’ capital section of our consolidated balance sheets and not recognized in income. At June 30, 2007, based on McDonalds’ closing stock price of $50.76 per share, $18,207,000 of appreciation in the value of these shares was included in “accumulated other comprehensive income” on our consolidated balance sheet.
As of June 30, 2007, we own 13,696,000 McDonalds common shares (“option shares”) through a series of privately negotiated transactions with a financial institution pursuant to which we purchased a call option and simultaneously sold a put option at the same strike price on McDonalds’ common shares. The option shares have a weighted-average strike price of $32.70 per share, or an aggregate of $447,822,000 and provide for net cash settlement. Under these agreements, the strike price for each pair of options increases at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 45 basis points (up to 95 basis points under certain circumstances) and is credited for the dividends received on the shares. The options provide us with the same economic gain or loss as if we had purchased the underlying common shares and borrowed the aggregate purchase price at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 45 basis points. Because these options are derivatives and do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, the gains or losses resulting from the mark-to-market of the options at the end of each reporting period are recognized as an increase or decrease in “interest and other investment income” on our consolidated statements of income.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, we recognized net gains of $71,390,000, and $74,613,000, respectively, representing the mark-to-market of the option shares to $50.76 per share, net of the expense resulting from the LIBOR charges. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, we recognized a net loss of $14,515,000 and $8,215,000, respectively, representing the mark-to-market of the option shares to $33.60 per share, net of the expense resulting from the LIBOR charges.
Our aggregate net gain from inception of this investment in 2005 through June 30, 2007 is $248,687,000.

The business of Toys is highly seasonal. Historically, Toys’ fourth quarter net income accounts for more than 80% of its fiscal year net income. Because Toys’ fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest January 31, we record our 32.8% share of Toys’ net income or loss on a one-quarter lag basis.
Alexander’s (NYSE: ALX)
As of June 30, 2007, we own 32.8% of the outstanding common stock of Alexander’s. We manage, lease and develop Alexander’s properties pursuant to agreements, which expire in March of each year and are automatically renewable. As of June 30, 2007, Alexander’s owed us $37,998,000 for fees under these agreements.
As of June 30, 2007, the market value of our investment in Alexander’s was $668,657,000, based on Alexander’s June 29, 2007 closing share price of $404.25.
The Lexington Master Limited Partnership (“Lexington MLP”)
On December 31, 2006, Newkirk Realty Trust (NYSE: NKT) was acquired in a merger by Lexington Corporate Properties Trust (“Lexington”) (NYSE: LXP), a real estate investment trust. We owned 10,186,991 limited partnership units (representing a 15.8% investment ownership interest) of Newkirk MLP, which was also acquired by Lexington as a subsidiary, and was renamed Lexington MLP. The units in Newkirk MLP, which we accounted for on the equity method, were converted on a 0.80 for 1 basis into limited partnership units of Lexington MLP, which we also account for on the equity method. The Lexington MLP units are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis into common shares of Lexington.
As of June 30, 2007, we own 8,149,593 limited partnership units of Lexington MLP, or a 7.1% ownership interest. We record our pro rata share of Lexington MLP’s net income or loss on a one-quarter lag basis because we file our consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K and 10-Q prior to the time that Lexington files its financial statements. Accordingly, our “equity in net income or loss from partially owned entities” for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 includes our share of Lexington MLP’s net income for its first quarter ended March 31, 2007.
As of June 30, 2007, the market value of our investment in Lexington MLP was $169,512,000, based on Lexington’s June 29, 2007 closing share price of $20.80.

Our “equity in net income or loss from partially owned entities” for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 did not include any income or loss related to GMH’s fourth quarter of 2005 or first quarter of 2006 because GMH had delayed the filing of its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 until July 31, 2006 and had delayed its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 until September 15, 2006.

| (2) | On January 26, 2007, we completed a $678,000 financing of our Skyline Complex in Fairfax Virginia, consisting of eight office buildings containing 2,560,000 square feet. The loan bears interest only at 5.74% and matures in February 2017. We retained net proceeds of approximately $515,000 after repaying existing loans and closing costs, including $5,771 for prepayment penalties and defeasance costs which is included in “interest and debt expense” in the six months ended June 30, 2007. |
| (3) | On March 30, 2007, we repaid the $47,011 balance of the Crystal Park 2 mortgage. |
| (4) | See Note 6. Investments in Partially Owned Entities for details. |
| (5) | On March 1, 2007, we repaid the $19,394 balance of the 1925 K Street mortgage. |
| (6) | On March 21, 2007, Vornado Realty Trust sold $1.4 billion aggregate principal amount of 2.85% convertible senior debentures due 2027, pursuant to an effective registration statement. The aggregate net proceeds from this offering, after underwriters’ discounts and expenses, were approximately $1.37 billion. The debentures are redeemable at our option beginning in 2012 for the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. Holders of the debentures have the right to require us to repurchase their debentures in 2012, 2017, and 2022 and in certain other limited circumstances. The debentures are convertible, under certain circumstances, for cash and Vornado common shares at an initial conversion rate of 6.1553 common shares per $1,000 of principal amount of debentures. The initial conversion price is $162.46, which represents a premium of 30% over the March 21, 2007 closing price of $124.97 for Vornado common shares. The principal amount of debentures will be settled for cash and the amount in excess of the principal defined as the conversion value will be settled in cash or, at our election, Vornado common shares. The net proceeds of the offering were contributed to the Operating Partnership in the form of a convertible debenture and the Operating Partnership guaranteed the payment of Vornado’s debentures. |
| | We are amortizing the underwriters’ discount on a straight-line basis (which approximates the interest method) over the period from the date of issuance to the date of earliest redemption of April 1, 2012. Because the conversion option associated with the debentures when analyzed as a freestanding instrument meets the criteria to be classified as equity specified by paragraphs 12 to 32 of EITF 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s own Common Stock,” separate accounting for the conversion option under SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” is not appropriate. |

| (7) | On May 11, 2007, we redeemed our $500,000 5.625% senior unsecured notes at the face amount plus accrued interest. |
| (8) | Represents the earliest date the bond holders can require us to repurchase the debentures. |

Vornado’s Share Option Plan (the “Plan”) provides for grants of incentive and non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, performance shares and limited partnership units to certain of our employees and officers.
We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123: Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by SFAS No. 148: Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure and as revised by SFAS No. 123R: Share-Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123R”). We adopted SFAS No. 123R, using the modified prospective application, on January 1, 2006. Stock based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 consists of stock option awards, restricted common share and Operating Partnership unit awards and our 2006 Out-Performance Plan awards.
During the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we recognized $6,461,000 and $2,873,000 of stock-based compensation expense, respectively and in the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 we recognized $12,620,000 and $4,236,000 of stock-based compensation expense, respectively.

15. | Commitments and Contingencies |
At June 30, 2007, our $1 billion revolving credit facility, which expires in June 2010, had a $94,000,000 outstanding balance and $46,949,000 reserved for outstanding letters of credit. This facility contains financial covenants, which require us to maintain minimum interest coverage and maximum debt to market capitalization ratios, and provides for higher interest rates in the event of a decline in our ratings below Baa3/BBB. At June 30, 2007, AmeriCold’s $30,000,000 revolving credit facility had a zero outstanding balance and $18,444,000 reserved for outstanding letters of credit. This facility requires AmeriCold to maintain, on a trailing four-quarter basis, a minimum of $30,000,000 of free cash flow, as defined. Both of these facilities contain customary conditions precedent to borrowing, including representations and warranties and also contain customary events of default that could give rise to accelerated repayment, including such items as failure to pay interest or principal.
We have made acquisitions and investments in partially owned entities for which we are committed to fund additional capital aggregating $171,655,000. Of this amount, $95,000,000 relates to our equity commitment to the India Property Fund, LP, and $23,500,000 relates to capital expenditures to be funded over the next five years at the Springfield Mall, in which we have a 97.5% interest.
On November 10, 2005, we committed to fund the junior portion of up to $30,530,000 of a $173,000,000 construction loan to an entity developing a mixed-use building complex in Boston, Massachusetts, at the north end of the Boston Harbor. We earn current-pay interest at 30-day LIBOR plus 11%. The loan matures in November 2008, with a one-year extension option. As of June 30, 2007, we have funded $8,952,000 of this commitment.
Our debt instruments, consisting of mortgage loans secured by our properties (which are generally non-recourse to us), senior unsecured notes, exchangeable senior debentures, convertible senior debentures and revolving credit agreements, contain customary covenants requiring us to maintain insurance. Although we believe that we have adequate insurance coverage under these agreements, we may not be able to obtain an equivalent amount of coverage at reasonable costs in the future. Further, if lenders insist on greater coverage than we are able to obtain, or if the Terrorism Risk Insurance Extension Act of 2005 is not extended past 2007, it could adversely affect our ability to finance and/or refinance our properties and expand our portfolio.
Each of our properties has been subjected to varying degrees of environmental assessment at various times. The environmental assessments did not reveal any material environmental contamination. However, there can be no assurance that the identification of new areas of contamination, changes in the extent or known scope of contamination, the discovery of additional sites, or changes in cleanup requirements would not result in significant costs to us.
We enter into agreements for the purchase and resale of U.S. government obligations for periods of up to one week. The obligations purchased under these agreements are held in safekeeping in our name by various money center banks. We have the right to demand additional collateral or return of these invested funds at any time the collateral value is less than 102% of the invested funds plus any accrued earnings thereon. We had $138,540,000 and $219,990,000 of cash invested in these agreements at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
From time to time, we have disposed of substantial amounts of real estate to third parties for which, as to certain properties, we remain contingently liable for rent payments or mortgage indebtedness that cannot be quantified.

Litigation
Stop & Shop
On January 8, 2003, Stop & Shop filed a complaint with the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey claiming we had no right to reallocate and therefore continue to collect $5,000,000 of annual rent from Stop & Shop pursuant to the Master Agreement and Guaranty. On May 17, 2005, we filed a motion for summary judgment. On July 15, 2005, Stop & Shop opposed our motion and filed a cross-motion for summary judgment. On December 13, 2005, the Court issued its decision denying the motions for summary judgment. Both parties appealed the Court’s decision and on December 14, 2006, the Appellate Court division issued a decision affirming the Court’s decision. On January 16, 2007 we filed a motion for the reconsideration of one aspect of the Appellate Court’s decision which was denied on March 13, 2007. On April 16, 2007, the Court directed that discovery should be completed by December 2007, with a trial date to be determined thereafter. We intend to vigorously pursue our claims against Stop & Shop.
1290 Avenue of the Americas and 555 California Street
On May 24, 2007, we acquired a 70% controlling interest in 1290 Avenue of the Americas and 555 California Street. Our 70% interest was acquired through the purchase of all of the shares of a group of foreign companies that own, through U.S. entities, the 1% sole general partnership interest and a 69% limited partnership interest in the partnerships that own the two properties. The remaining 30% limited partnership interest is owned by Donald J. Trump.
In August 2005, Mr. Trump brought a lawsuit in the New York State Supreme Court against, among others, the general partners of the partnerships referred to above. Mr. Trump’s claims arose out of a dispute over the sale price of, and use of proceeds from, the sale of properties located on the former Penn Central rail yards between West 59th and 72nd Streets in Manhattan which were formerly owned by the partnerships. In decisions dated September 14, 2005 and July 24, 2006, the Court denied various of Mr. Trump’s motions and ultimately dismissed all of Mr. Trump’s claims, except for his claim seeking access to books and records, which remains pending. Mr. Trump has sought re-argument and renewal on, and filed a notice of appeal in connection with, his dismissed claims.
In connection with the acquisition, we have agreed to indemnify the sellers for liabilities and expenses arising out of Mr. Trump’s claim that the general partners of the partnerships we acquired did not sell the rail yards at a fair price or could have sold the rail yards for a greater price and any other claims asserted in the legal action; provided however, that if Mr. Trump prevails on certain claims involving partnership matters, other than claims relating to sale price, the sellers will be required to reimburse us for certain costs related to those claims. We believe that the claims relating to the sale price are without merit. All other allegations are not asserted as a basis for damages and regardless of merit would not be material to our consolidated financial statements.
There are various other legal actions against us in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such matters will not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.

On March 13, 2007, Michael Fascitelli, Vornado’s President and President of Alexander’s, exercised 350,000 of his Alexander’s stock appreciation rights (“SARS”), which were scheduled to expire on March 14, 2007 and received $144.18 for each SAR exercised, representing the difference between Alexander’s stock price of $388.01 (the average of the high and low market price) on the date of exercise and the exercise price of $243.83.
On March 26, 2007, Joseph Macnow, Vornado’s Executive Vice President – Finance and Administration and Chief Financial Officer, repaid to the Company his $2,000,000 outstanding loan which was scheduled to mature in June 2007.
Effective as of April 19, 2007, Vornado entered into a new employment agreement with Mitchell Schear, the President of our Washington, DC Office Division. This agreement, which replaced his prior agreement, was approved by the Compensation Committee of Vornado’s Board of Trustees and provides for a term of five years and is automatically renewable for one-year terms thereafter. The agreement also provides for a minimum salary of $1,000,000 per year and bonuses and other customary benefits. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, on April 19, 2007, the Compensation Committee granted an option to Mr. Schear to acquire 200,000 Vornado common shares at an exercise price of $119.94 per share. These options vest ratably over three years beginning in 2010 and accelerate on a change of control or if Vornado terminates his employment without cause or by him for breach by Vornado. The agreement also provides that if Vornado terminates Mr. Schear’s employment without cause or by him for breach by Vornado, he will receive a lump-sum payment equal to one time salary and bonus, up to a maximum of $2,000,000.

Notes to preceding tabular information
| (1) | EBITDA represents “Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization.” We consider EBITDA a supplemental measure for making decisions and assessing the un-levered performance of our segments as it relates to the total return on assets as opposed to the levered return on equity. As properties are bought and sold based on a multiple of EBITDA, we utilize this measure to make investment decisions as well as to compare the performance of our assets to that of our peers. EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for net income. EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. |

Vornado Realty L.P.
New York, New York
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Vornado Realty L.P. as of June 30, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 and of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), 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 reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Vornado Realty L.P. as of December 31, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, partners’ capital, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 1, 2007, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. We also audited the adjustments described in Note 11 that were applied to reclassify the December 31, 2006 consolidated balance sheet of Vornado Realty L.P. (not presented herein) for discontinued operations. In our opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied to the previously issued consolidated balance sheet in deriving the accompanying retrospectively adjusted balance sheet as of December 31, 2006.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Certain statements contained herein constitute forward-looking statements as such term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our future results, financial condition and business may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. You can find many of these statements by looking for words such as “approximates,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “would,” “may” or similar expressions in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Many of the factors that will determine these items are beyond our ability to control or predict. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 under “Forward Looking Statements” and “Item 1. Business – Certain Factors That May Adversely Affect Our Business and Operations.” For these statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on forward-looking statements, which are based on results and trends at the time they are made, to anticipate future results or trends.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations include a discussion of our consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us 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 periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Critical Accounting Policies
A summary of our critical accounting policies is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition. There have been no significant changes to our policies during 2007.

Overview
Business Objective and Operating Strategy
Our business objective is to maximize Vornado shareholder value. We measure our success in meeting this objective by our total return to Vornado’s shareholders. Below is a table comparing Vornado’s performance to the Morgan Stanley REIT Index (“RMS”) for the following periods ending June 30, 2007:
| | | |
| | | | | |
One-year | | 16.4% | | 12.1% | |
Three-years | | 116.8% | | 78.2% | |
Five-years | | 203.8% | | 134.0% | |
Ten-years | | 413.0% | | 240.0% | |
_________________________
| (1) | Past performance is not necessarily indicative of how we will perform in the future. |
We intend to achieve our business objective by continuing to pursue our investment philosophy and executing our operating strategies through:
| • | Maintaining a superior team of operating and investment professionals and an entrepreneurial spirit; |
| • | Investing in properties in select markets, such as New York City and Washington, DC, where we believe there is a high likelihood of capital appreciation; |
| • | Acquiring quality properties at a discount to replacement cost and where there is a significant potential for higher rents; |
| • | Investing in retail properties in select under-stored locations such as the New York City metropolitan area; |
| • | Investing in fully-integrated operating companies that have a significant real estate component; |
| • | Developing and redeveloping our existing properties to increase returns and maximize value; and |
| • | Providing specialty financing to real estate related companies. |
Competition
We compete with a large number of real estate property owners and developers. Principal factors of competition are rent charged, attractiveness of location and quality and breadth of services provided. Our success depends upon, among other factors, trends of the national and local economies, financial condition and operating results of current and prospective tenants and customers, availability and cost of capital, construction and renovation costs, taxes, governmental regulations, legislation and population trends. Economic growth has been fostered, in part, by low interest rates, Federal tax cuts, and increases in government spending. To the extent economic growth stalls, we may experience lower occupancy rates, which may lead to lower initial rental rates, higher leasing costs and a corresponding decrease in our net income, funds from operations and cash flow. Alternatively, if economic growth is sustained, we may experience higher occupancy rates leading to higher initial rents and higher interest rates causing an increase in our weighted average cost of capital and a corresponding effect on our net income and cash flow. Our net income will also be affected by the seasonality of Toys’ business and competition from discount and mass merchandisers.

Overview (continued)
2007 Acquisitions and Significant Investments
100 West 33rd Street, New York City (the “Manhattan Mall”)
On January 10, 2007, we acquired the Manhattan Mall for approximately $689,000,000 in cash. This mixed-use property is located on the entire Sixth Avenue block-front between 32nd and 33rd Streets in Manhattan and contains approximately 1,000,000 square feet, including 812,000 square feet of office space and 164,000 square feet of retail space. Included as part of the transaction are 250,000 square feet of additional air rights. The property is adjacent to our 1,400,000 square foot Hotel Pennsylvania. At closing, we completed a $232,000,000 financing secured by the property, which bears interest at LIBOR plus 0.55% (5.87% at June 30, 2007) and matures in two years with three one-year extension options. The operations of the office component of the property are included in the New York Office segment and the operations of the retail component are included in the Retail segment. We consolidate the accounts of this property into our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.
Bruckner Plaza, Bronx, New York
On January 11, 2007, we acquired the Bruckner Plaza shopping center, and an adjacent parcel containing 114,000 square feet which is ground leased to a third party, for approximately $165,000,000 in cash. The property is located on Bruckner Boulevard in the Bronx, New York and contains 386,000 square feet of retail space. We consolidate the accounts of this property into our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.
1290 Avenue of the Americas and 555 California Street
On May 24, 2007, we acquired a 70% controlling interest in 1290 Avenue of the Americas, a 2,000,000 square foot Manhattan office building, located on the block-front between 51st and 52nd Street on Avenue of the Americas, and the 3-building 555 California Street complex (“555 California Street”) containing 1,800,000 square feet, known as the Bank of America Center, located at California and Montgomery Streets in San Francisco’s financial district. The purchase price for our 70% interest in the real estate was approximately $1.8 billion, consisting of $1.0 billion of cash and $797,000,000 of existing debt. Our share of the debt is comprised of $308,000,000 secured by 1290 Avenue of the Americas and $489,000,000 secured by 555 California Street. Our 70% interest was acquired through the purchase of all of the shares of a group of foreign companies that own, through U.S. entities, the 1% sole general partnership interest and a 69% limited partnership interest in the partnerships that own the two properties. The remaining 30% limited partnership interest is owned by Donald J. Trump. We consolidate the accounts of these properties into our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.
In August 2005, Mr. Trump brought a lawsuit in the New York State Supreme Court against, among others, the general partners of the partnerships referred to above. Mr. Trump’s claims arose out of a dispute over the sale price of, and use of proceeds from, the sale of properties located on the former Penn Central rail yards between West 59th and 72nd Streets in Manhattan which were formerly owned by the partnerships. In decisions dated September 14, 2005 and July 24, 2006, the Court denied various of Mr. Trump’s motions and ultimately dismissed all of Mr. Trump’s claims, except for his claim seeking access to books and records, which remains pending. Mr. Trump has sought re-argument and renewal on, and filed a notice of appeal in connection with, his dismissed claims.
In connection with the acquisition, we agreed to indemnify the sellers for liabilities and expenses arising out of Mr. Trump’s claim that the general partners of the partnerships we acquired did not sell the rail yards at a fair price or could have sold the rail yards for a greater price and any other claims asserted in the legal action; provided however, that if Mr. Trump prevails on certain claims involving partnership matters, other than claims relating to sale price, the sellers will be required to reimburse us for certain costs related to those claims. We believe that the claims relating to the sale price are without merit. All other allegations are not asserted as a basis for damages and regardless of merit would not be material to our consolidated financial statements.

Overview (continued)
H Street Building Corporation (“H Street”)
In July 2005, we acquired H Street, which owns a 50% interest in real estate assets located in Pentagon City, Virginia and Washington, DC. On April 30, 2007, we acquired the corporations that own the remaining 50% interest in these assets for approximately $383,000,000, consisting of $333,000,000 in cash and $50,000,000 of existing mortgages. These assets include twin office buildings located in Washington, DC, containing 577,000 square feet, and assets located in Pentagon City, Virginia comprised of 34 acres of land leased to three residential and retail operators, a 1,670 unit high-rise apartment complex and 10 acres of vacant land. In conjunction with this acquisition all existing litigation has been dismissed. Beginning on April 30, 2007, we consolidate the accounts of these entities into our consolidated financial statements and no longer account for them on the equity method.
Further, we have agreed to sell approximately 19.6 of the 34 acres of land to one of the existing ground lessees in two closings over a two-year period for approximately $220,000,000 in cash. The first closing was completed on May 11, 2007 for approximately $104,000,000. Our net gain on sale of $15,831,000 was deferred because the buyer’s cash down payment was not sufficient for gain recognition pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 66 – Accounting For Sales of Real Estate, and will be recognized upon receipt of the remaining sale proceeds in the fourth quarter of 2007. In April 2007, we received letters from the two remaining ground lessees claiming a right of first offer on the sale of the land, one of which has since retracted its letter and reserved its rights under the lease. Discussions with both lessees are on-going.
Our total purchase price for 100% of the assets we will own, after the anticipated proceeds from the land sale, is $409,000,000, consisting of $286,000,000 in cash and $123,000,000 of existing mortgages.
Toys “R” Us Stores
On May 31, 2007, we acquired four properties from Toys “R” Us (“Toys”) for $12,242,000 in cash, which completed our September 2006 agreement to acquire 43 stores that were closed as part of Toys’ January 2006 store closing program. We consolidate the accounts of these properties into our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Our $1,045,000 share of Toys net gain on this transaction was recorded as an adjustment to the basis of our investment in Toys and was not recorded as income.
India Property Fund LP
In 2005 and 2006, we invested $94,200,000 in two joint ventures established to acquire, manage and develop real estate in India. On June 14, 2007, we committed to contribute $95,000,000 to a third venture, the India Property Fund, LP (the “Fund”), also established to acquire, manage and develop real estate in India. We satisfied $77,000,000 of our commitment by contributing our interest in one of the above mentioned joint ventures to the Fund. The Fund will seek to raise additional equity; as of June 30, 2007, we own 95% of the Fund and therefore consolidate the accounts of the Fund into our consolidated financial statements, pursuant to the requirements of FIN 46 (R) - Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.

Shopping Center Portfolio Acquisition
On June 26, 2007, we entered into an agreement to acquire a 15 shopping center portfolio aggregating approximately 1.9 million square feet. The properties are located primarily in Northern New Jersey and Long Island, New York. The purchase price is approximately $351,000,000, consisting of approximately $120,000,000 of cash, $89,000,000 of newly issued Vornado Realty L.P. redeemable preferred and common units and $142,000,000 of existing debt. On June 28, 2007, we completed the acquisition of five of the shopping centers for $116,561,000, consisting of $94,179,000 in cash, $15,993,000 in Vornado Realty L.P. preferred units and $6,389,000 of Vornado Realty L.P. common units. We consolidate the accounts of these properties into our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The closing of the remaining shopping centers is expected to occur in two additional tranches and be completed by the end of 2007, subject to customary closing conditions.
2007 Mezzanine Loan Activity:
Blackstone/Equity Office Properties Loan
On March 29, 2007, we acquired a 9.4% interest in a $772,600,000 mezzanine loan for $72,400,000 in cash. During April and May of 2007, we were repaid the $72,400,000 outstanding balance of the mezzanine loan in multiple principal payments, together with accrued interest of $506,000, which was recognized as “interest and other investment income” in the three months ended June 30, 2007.
Fortress Loan
In 2006, we acquired bonds for $99,500,000 in cash, representing a 7% interest in two margin loans aggregating $1.430 billion. On March 30, 2007, we were repaid $35,348,000, together with accrued interest of $2,205,000 and a prepayment premium of $177,000, which was recognized as “interest and other investment income” in the three months ended March 31, 2007. On July 10, 2007, an additional $13,221,000 was repaid, together with accrued interest of $27,000. The remaining balance of our investment in the bonds of $50,931,000, is due in December 2007.
MPH Mezzanine Loans
On June 5, 2007, we acquired a 42% interest in two mezzanine loans totaling $158,700,000, for $66,403,000 in cash. The loans bear interest at LIBOR plus 5.32% (10.64% at June 30, 2007) and mature in February 2008. The loans are subordinate to $2.9 billion of other debt and are secured by the equity interests in four New York City properties: Worldwide Plaza, 1540 Broadway office condominium, 527 Madison Avenue and Tower 56.
Other Investments:
The Lexington Master Limited Partnership (“Lexington MLP”)
On December 31, 2006, Newkirk Realty Trust (NYSE: NKT) was acquired in a merger by Lexington Corporate Properties Trust (“Lexington”) (NYSE: LXP), a real estate investment trust. We owned 10,186,991 limited partnership units (representing a 15.8% investment ownership interest) of Newkirk MLP, which was also acquired by Lexington as a subsidiary, and was renamed Lexington MLP. The units in Newkirk MLP, which we accounted for on the equity method, were converted on a 0.80 for 1 basis into limited partnership units of Lexington MLP, which we also account for on the equity method. The Lexington MLP units are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis into common shares of Lexington. We record our pro rata share of Lexington MLP’s net income or loss on a one-quarter lag basis because we file our consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K and 10-Q prior to the time that Lexington files its financial statements.

Downtown Crossing Joint Venture
On January 26, 2007, a joint venture in which we have a 50% interest, acquired the Filene’s property located in the Downtown Crossing district of Boston, Massachusetts for approximately $100,000,000 in cash, of which our share was $50,000,000. The venture plans to redevelop the property to include over 1,200,000 square feet, consisting of office, retail, condominium apartments and a hotel. The project is subject to governmental approvals. Our investment in the joint venture is accounted for under the equity method.
Investment in McDonald’s Corporation (“McDonalds”) (NYSE: MCD)
As of June 30, 2007, we own 858,000 common shares of McDonalds which we acquired in July 2005 for $25,346,000, an average price of $29.54 per share. These shares are recorded as marketable equity securities on our consolidated balance sheets and are classified as “available for sale.” Appreciation or depreciation in the fair market value of these shares is recorded as an increase or decrease in “accumulated other comprehensive income” in the partners’ capital section of our consolidated balance sheets and not recognized in income. At June 30, 2007, based on McDonalds’ closing stock price of $50.76 per share, $18,207,000 of appreciation in the value of these shares was included in “accumulated other comprehensive income” on our consolidated balance sheet.
As of June 30, 2007, we own 13,696,000 McDonalds common shares (“option shares”) through a series of privately negotiated transactions with a financial institution pursuant to which we purchased a call option and simultaneously sold a put option at the same strike price on McDonalds’ common shares. The option shares have a weighted-average strike price of $32.70 per share, or an aggregate of $447,822,000 and provide for net cash settlement. Under these agreements, the strike price for each pair of options increases at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 45 basis points (up to 95 basis points under certain circumstances) and is credited for the dividends received on the shares. The options provide us with the same economic gain or loss as if we had purchased the underlying common shares and borrowed the aggregate purchase price at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 45 basis points. Because these options are derivatives and do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, the gains or losses resulting from the mark-to-market of the options at the end of each reporting period are recognized as an increase or decrease in “interest and other investment income” on our consolidated statements of income.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, we recognized net gains of $71,390,000, and $74,613,000, respectively, representing the mark-to-market of the option shares to $50.76 per share, net of the expense resulting from the LIBOR charges. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, we recognized a net loss of $14,515,000 and $8,215,000, respectively, representing the mark-to-market of the option shares to $33.60 per share, net of the expense resulting from the LIBOR charges.
Our aggregate net gain from inception of this investment in 2005 through June 30, 2007 is $248,687,000.

2007 Financings:
On January 26, 2007, we completed a $678,000,000 financing of our Skyline Complex in Fairfax Virginia, consisting of eight office buildings containing 2,560,000 square feet. This loan bears interest only at 5.74% and matures in February 2017. We retained net proceeds of approximately $515,000,000 after repaying existing loans and closing costs, including $5,771,000 for prepayment penalties and defeasance costs which is included in “interest and debt expense” in the quarter ended June 30, 2007.
On May 11, 2007, we redeemed our $500,000,000 5.625% senior unsecured notes at the face amount plus accrued interest.
On May 14, 2007, we completed a $45,000,000 financing of our 866 UN Plaza property. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 0.40% and matures in May 2009. The net proceeds were used to repay the existing loan and closing costs.
2.85% Convertible Senior Debentures due 2027
On March 21, 2007, Vornado Realty Trust sold $1.4 billion aggregate principal amount of 2.85% convertible senior debentures due 2027, pursuant to an effective registration statement. The aggregate net proceeds from this offering, after underwriters’ discounts and expenses, were approximately $1.37 billion. The debentures are redeemable at our option beginning in 2012 for the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. Holders of the debentures have the right to require us to repurchase their debentures in 2012, 2017, and 2022 and in certain other limited circumstances. The debentures are convertible, under certain circumstances, for cash and Vornado common shares at an initial conversion rate of 6.1553 common shares per $1,000 of principal amount of debentures. The initial conversion price is $162.46, which represents a premium of 30% over the March 21, 2007 closing price of $124.97 for Vornado common shares. The principal amount of debentures will be settled for cash and the amount in excess of the principal defined as the conversion value will be settled in cash or, at our election, Vornado common shares. The net proceeds of the offering were contributed to the Operating Partnership in the form of a convertible debenture and the Operating Partnership guaranteed the payment of Vornado’s debentures. The Operating Partnership used the net proceeds primarily for acquisitions and investments and for general corporate purposes.
We are amortizing the underwriters’ discount on a straight-line basis (which approximates the interest method) over the period from the date of issuance to the date of earliest redemption of April 1, 2012. Because the conversion option associated with the debentures when analyzed as a freestanding instrument meets the criteria to be classified as equity specified by paragraphs 12 to 32 of EITF 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s own Common Stock,” separate accounting for the conversion option under SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” is not appropriate.
On July 25, 2007, the FASB authorized a FASB Staff Position (the “proposed FSP”) that, if issued, would affect the accounting for our convertible senior debentures issued to Vornado and our exchangeable senior debentures. If issued in the form expected, the proposed FSP would require that the initial debt proceeds from the sale of our convertible and exchangeable senior debentures be allocated between a liability component and an equity component. The resulting debt discount would be amortized over the period the debt is expected to be outstanding as additional interest expense. The proposed FSP is expected to be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007, require retroactive application and result in approximately $47,000,000 of additional interest expense per annum.

_______________________________
(1) | Most leases include periodic step-ups in rent, which are not reflected in the initial rent per square foot leased. |
(2) | Because generally accepted accounting principles require tenant leases to be marked to fair value when they are acquired, the cash basis increase is greater than the GAAP basis rent increase when the acquired space is relet. |

Reconciliation of Net Income and EBITDA – Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 (continued)
Notes to preceding tabular information:
(1) | EBITDA represents “Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization.” We consider EBITDA a supplemental measure for making decisions and assessing the un-levered performance of our segments as it relates to the total return on assets as opposed to the levered return on equity. As properties are bought and sold based on a multiple of EBITDA, we utilize this measure to make investment decisions as well as to compare the performance of our assets to that of our peers. EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for net income. EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. |

Income Applicable to Alexander’s
Our 32.8% share of Alexander’s net income (comprised of equity in net income or loss, management, leasing, development and commitment fees) was $9,484,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $14,750,000 for the prior year’s three months, a decrease of $5,266,000. This decrease was primarily due to $1,222,000 for our share of income in the current quarter for the reversal of accrued stock appreciation rights compensation expense as compared to $4,836,000 of income in the prior year’s quarter, $2,722,000 for our share of Alexander’s net gain on sale of 731 Lexington Avenue condominiums in the prior year’s quarter, partially offset by an increase of $1,074,000 in development fees in the current quarter.
Loss Applicable to Toys
Our 32.8% share of Toys’ financial results (comprised of our share of Toys’ net loss, interest income on loans receivable, and management fees) for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006 are for Toys fiscal quarters ended May 5, 2007 and April 29, 2006, respectively. In the three months ended June 30, 2007, our loss applicable to Toys was $20,029,000, or $34,963,000 before our share of Toys’ income tax benefit, as compared to $7,884,000, or $40,405,000 before our share of Toys’ income tax benefit in the prior year’s three months. The decrease in our loss applicable to Toys’ before income tax benefit of $5,442,000 results primarily from (i) an increase in Toys’ net sales due to improvements in comparable store sales across all divisions and benefits in foreign currency translation (comparable store sales increases were 5.1% for Toys “R” Us – U.S., 3.9% for Toys “R” Us – International, and 2.8% for Babies “R” Us), (ii) a charge in the prior year’s quarter for the write off of deferred financing costs resulting from the prepayment of debt, partially offset by, (iii) an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a result of higher store support center expenses, payroll expenses and advertising expenses, which as a percentage of net sales were 30.7% and 30.8% for the quarters ended May 5, 2007 and April 29, 2006, respectively.

________________________
| (1) | On April 30, 2007, we acquired the corporations that own the remaining 50% interest in these assets and we now consolidate the accounts of these entities into our consolidated financial statements and no longer account for them under the equity method on a one-quarter lag basis. See page 43 for details. |
| (2) | Prior to the quarter ended June 30, 2006, two 50% owned entities that were contesting our acquisition of H Street impeded access to their financial information and accordingly, we were unable to record our pro rata share of their earnings. During the quarter ended June 30, 2006, we recognized equity in net income of $4,311 from these entities of which $2,731 was for the periods from July 20, 2005 (date of acquisition) to December 31, 2005 and $1,580 was for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. |
| (3) | We record our pro rata share of GMH’s net income or loss on a one-quarter lag basis because we file our consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K and 10-Q prior to the time that GCT files its financial statements. Our “equity in net income or loss from partially owned entities” for the three months ended June 30, 2006 did not include any income or loss related to GMH’s first quarter of 2006 because GMH had delayed the filing of its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 until September 15, 2006. |
| (4) | Beginning on January 1, 2007, we record our pro rata share of Lexington MLP’s net income or loss on a one-quarter lag basis because we file our consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K and 10-Q prior to the time that Lexington files its financial statements. Prior to the January 1, 2007, we recorded our pro rata share of Newkirk MLP’s (Lexington MLP’s predecessor) quarterly earnings current in our same quarter. Accordingly, our “equity in net income or loss from partially owned entities” for the three months ended June 30, 2007 includes our share of Lexington MLP’s net income or loss for its first quarter ended March 31, 2007. |
| (5) | The variance from the prior year’s quarter is primarily due to higher depreciation expense and amortization of above market lease intangibles in the current quarter as a result of Lexington’s purchase price accounting adjustments in connection with the merger of Newkirk MLP on December 31, 2006. |
| (6) | Includes our equity in net earnings of partially owned entities including, partially owned office buildings in New York and Washington, DC, the Monmouth Mall, Dune Capital LP, Verde Group LLC, and others. |

| | $ | 103,890 | |
Interest and Debt Expense
Interest and debt expense was $156,179,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $120,822,000 for the prior year’s three months, an increase of $35,357,000. This increase was primarily due to (i) $32,476,000 from a $3.0 billion increase in outstanding mortgage debt due to property acquisitions, new property financings and refinancings, (ii) $21,249,000 from the November 20, 2006 issuance of $1 billion convertible senior debentures and the March 21, 2007 issuance of $1.4 billion convertible senior debentures, partially offset by (iii) a $11,422,000 increase in the amount of capitalized interest in connection with properties under development and (iv) $7,046,000 of expense arising from the prepayment of debt in the prior year’s quarter.
Net Gain on Disposition of Wholly Owned and Partially Owned Assets Other than Depreciable Real Estate
Net gain on disposition of wholly owned and partially owned assets other than depreciable real estate was $15,778,000 and $56,947,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, and 2006, respectively, and represent net gains on sale of marketable securities in each period.
Minority Interest of Partially Owned Entities
Minority interest of partially owned entities was income of $4,349,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $3,118,000 of income for the prior year’s three months and represents the minority partners’ pro rata share of the net income or loss of consolidated partially owned entities, including 1290 Avenue of the Americas, the 555 California Street complex, AmeriCold, 220 Central Park South, Wasserman and the Springfield Mall.
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes was $3,566,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $848,000 for the prior year’s three months, an increase of $2,718,000. This increase results primarily from $1,318,000 from two H Street corporations which we consolidate as of April 30, 2007, the date we acquired the remaining 50% of these corporations we did not previously own (we previously accounted for our 50% interest on the equity method). Beginning on January 1, 2008, these corporations will elect to be treated as real estate investment trusts under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which will eliminate their Federal income tax provision to the extent that 100% of their taxable income is distributed to shareholders.
(Loss) Income From Discontinued Operations
The combined results of operations of the assets related to discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 include the operating expenses of our Vineland, New Jersey property; and 1919 South Eads Street in Arlington, Virginia, which was sold on June 22, 2006.

Reconciliation of Net Income and EBITDA – Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 (continued)
Notes to preceding tabular information
(1) | EBITDA represents “Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization.” We consider EBITDA a supplemental measure for making decisions and assessing the un-levered performance of our segments as it relates to the total return on assets as opposed to the levered return on equity. As properties are bought and sold based on a multiple of EBITDA, we utilize this measure to make investment decisions as well as to compare the performance of our assets to that of our peers. EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for net income. EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. |

| (1) | On April 30, 2007, we acquired the corporations that own the remaining 50% interest in these assets and we now consolidate the accounts of these entities into our consolidated financial statements and no longer account for them under the equity method on a one-quarter lag basis. |
| (2) | Prior to the quarter ended June 30, 2006, two 50% owned entities that were contesting our acquisition of H Street impeded access to their financial information and accordingly, we were unable to record our pro rata share of their unable to record our pro rata share of their earnings. During the quarter ended June 30, 2006, we recognized equity in net income of $4,311 from these entities of which $2,731 was for the periods from July 20, 2005 (date of acquisition) to December 31, 2005 and $1,580 was for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. |
| (3) | We record our pro rata share of GMH’s net income or loss on a one-quarter lag basis because we file our consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K and 10-Q prior to the time that GCT files its financial statements. Our “equity in net income or loss from partially owned entities” for the six months ended June 30, 2006 did not include any income or loss related to GMH’s fourth quarter of 2005 or first quarter 2006 because GMH had delayed the filing of its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 until July 31, 2006 and had delayed its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 until September 15, 2006. |
| (4) | Beginning on January 1, 2007, we record our pro rata share of Lexington MLP’s net income or loss on a one-quarter lag basis because we file our consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K and 10-Q prior to the time that Lexington files its financial statements. Prior to the January 1, 2007, we recorded our pro rata share of Newkirk MLP’s (Lexington MLP’s predecessor) quarterly earnings current in our same quarter. Accordingly, our “equity in net income or loss from partially owned entities” for the six months ended June 30, 2007 includes our share of Lexington MLP’s net income or loss for its first quarter ended March 31, 2007. |
| (5) | The variance from the prior year’s six months is primarily due to (i) the current year including our share of Lexington MLP’s first quarter results (lag basis) compared to the prior year’s six months including our share of Newkirk MLP’s first and second quarter results and (ii) higher depreciation expense and amortization of above market lease intangibles in the current year as a result of Lexington’s purchase price accounting adjustments in connection with the merger of Newkirk MLP on December 31, 2006. |
| (6) | Includes our equity in net earnings of partially owned entities including, partially owned office buildings in New York and Washington, DC, the Monmouth Mall, Dune Capital LP, Verde Group LLC, and others. |

This increase results primarily from $1,318,000 of income taxes from two H Street corporations, which we consolidate as of April 30, 2007, the date we acquired the remaining 50% of these corporations we did not previously own (we previously accounted for our 50% investment on the equity method). Beginning on January 1, 2008, these corporations will elect to be treated as real estate investment trusts under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which will eliminate their Federal income tax provision to the extent that 100% of their taxable income is distributed to shareholders.

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
We have exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates. Market interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond our control. Our exposure to a change in interest rates on our consolidated and non-consolidated debt (all of which arises out of non-trading activity) is as follows:
(Amounts in thousands, except per unit amounts) | | | |
| | | Weighted Average Interest Rate | | Effect of 1% Change In Base Rates | | | | Weighted Average Interest Rate |
Consolidated debt: | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Variable rate | $ | 668,978 | | 6.57% | | $ | 6,690 | | $ | 728,363 | | 6.48% |
Fixed rate | | 11,903,484 | | 5.24% | | | — | | | 8,826,435 | | 5.56% |
| $ | 12,572,462 | | 5.32% | | | 6,690 | | $ | 9,554,798 | | 5.63% |
Pro-rata share of debt of non- consolidated entities (non-recourse): | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Variable rate – excluding Toys | $ | 132,193 | | 7.41% | | | 1,322 | | $ | 162,254 | | 7.31% |
Variable rate – Toys | | 910,917 | | 7.49% | | | 9,109 | | | 1,213,479 | | 7.03% |
Fixed rate (including $1,008,702, and $1,057,422 of Toys debt in 2007 and 2006) | | 1,946,125 | | 6.87% | | | — | | | 1,947,274 | | 6.95% |
| $ | 2,989,235 | | 7.08% | | | 10,431 | | $ | 3,323,007 | | 7.00% |
Total change in annual net income | | | | | | $ | 17,121 | | | | | |
Per Class A unit-diluted | | | | | | $ | 0.09 | | | | | |
We may utilize various financial instruments to mitigate the impact of interest rate fluctuations on our cash flows and earnings, including hedging strategies, depending on our analysis of the interest rate environment and the costs and risks of such strategies. In addition, we have notes and mortgage loans receivables aggregating $303,566,000, as of June 30, 2007, which are based on variable rates and partially mitigate our exposure to a change in interest rates.
Fair Value of Our Debt
The carrying amount of our debt exceeds its aggregate fair value, based on discounted cash flows at the current rate at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings for the remaining term of such debt, by approximately $493,627,000 at June 30, 2007.
Derivative Instruments
We have, and may in the future enter into, derivative positions that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, including our economic interest in McDonald’s common shares. Because these derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, the gains or losses resulting from their mark-to-market at the end of each reporting period are recognized as an increase or decrease in “interest and other investment income” on our consolidated statements of income. In addition, we are, and may in the future be, subject to additional expense based on the notional amount of the derivative positions and a specified spread over LIBOR. Because the market value of these instruments can vary significantly between periods, we may experience significant fluctuations in the amount of our investment income or expense. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, we recognized net gains aggregating approximately $72,074,000 and $81,454,000 respectively, from these positions, after all expenses and LIBOR charges.
73
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures: Management of Vornado Realty Trust, with the participation of Vornado’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, Vornado’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2007, such disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting: There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
74
PART II. | OTHER INFORMATION |
We are from time to time involved in legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such matters, including the matters referred to below, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The following updates the discussion set forth under “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Stop & Shop
On January 8, 2003, Stop & Shop filed a complaint with the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (“USDC-NJ”) claiming we had no right to reallocate and therefore continue to collect $5,000,000 of annual rent from Stop & Shop pursuant to the Master Agreement and Guaranty. Stop & Shop asserted that a prior order of the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York dated February 6, 2001, as modified on appeal to the District Court for the Southern District of New York on February 13, 2001, froze our right to re-allocate which effectively terminated our right to collect the additional rent from Stop & Shop. On March 3, 2003, after we moved to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction, Stop & Shop voluntarily withdrew its complaint. On March 26, 2003, Stop & Shop filed a new complaint in New York Supreme Court, asserting substantially the same claims as in its USDC-NJ complaint. We removed the action to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. In January 2005 that court remanded the action to the New York Supreme Court. On February 14, 2005, we served an answer in which we asserted a counterclaim seeking a judgment for all the unpaid additional rent accruing through the date of the judgment and a declaration that Stop & Shop will continue to be liable for the additional rent as long as any of the leases subject to the Master Agreement and Guaranty remain in effect. On May 17, 2005, we filed a motion for summary judgment. On July 15, 2005, Stop & Shop opposed our motion and filed a cross-motion for summary judgment. On December 13, 2005, the Court issued its decision denying the motions for summary judgment. Both parties appealed the Court’s decision and on December 14, 2006, the Appellate Court division issued a decision affirming the Court’s decision. On January 16, 2007 we filed a motion for the reconsideration of one aspect of the Appellate Court’s decision which was denied on March 13, 2007. On April 16, 2007, the Court directed that discovery should be completed by December 2007, with a trial date to be determined thereafter. We intend to vigorously pursue our claims against Stop & Shop.
1290 Avenue of the Americas and 555 California Street
On May 24, 2007, we acquired a 70% controlling interest in 1290 Avenue of the Americas and the 555 California Street complex. Our 70% interest was acquired through the purchase of all of the shares of a group of foreign companies that own, through U.S. entities, the 1% sole general partnership interest and a 69% limited partnership interest in the partnerships that own the two properties. The remaining 30% limited partnership interest is owned by Donald J. Trump.
In August 2005, Mr. Trump brought a lawsuit in the New York State Supreme Court against, among others, the general partners of the partnerships referred to above. Mr. Trump’s claims arose out of a dispute over the sale price of, and use of proceeds from, the sale of properties located on the former Penn Central rail yards between West 59th and 72nd Streets in Manhattan which were formerly owned by the partnerships. In decisions dated September 14, 2005 and July 24, 2006, the Court denied various of Mr. Trump’s motions and ultimately dismissed all of Mr. Trump’s claims, except for his claim seeking access to books and records, which remains pending. Mr. Trump has sought re-argument and renewal on, and filed a notice of appeal in connection with, his dismissed claims.
In connection with the acquisition, we have agreed to indemnify the sellers for liabilities and expenses arising out of Mr. Trump’s claim that the general partners of the partnerships we acquired did not sell the rail yards at a fair price or could have sold the rail yards for a greater price and any other claims asserted in the legal action; provided however, that if Mr. Trump prevails on certain claims involving partnership matters, other than claims relating to sale price, the sellers will be required to reimburse us for certain costs related to those claims. We believe that the claims relating to the sale price are without merit. All other allegations are not asserted as a basis for damages and regardless of merit would not be material to our consolidated financial statements.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
There were no material changes to the Risk Factors disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds |
During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, Vornado employees exercised options to acquire an aggregate of 42,214 Vornado common shares. Simultaneously, with each exercise and related share issuance by Vornado, we issued an equivalent amount of Class A units to Vornado. The proceeds received from Vornado were used for general working capital. In addition, we issued 639,713 Series G preferred units as part of the purchase price for a portfolio of shopping centers we acquired on June 26, 2007. The above mentioned transactions were exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
