VORNADO REALTY TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. | Organization |
Vornado Realty Trust is a fully-integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and conducts its business through Vornado Realty L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). All references to “our,” “we,” “us,” the “Company” and “Vornado” refer to Vornado Realty Trust and its consolidated subsidiaries. We are the sole general partner of, and owned approximately 90.1% of the common limited partnership interest in, the Operating Partnership at March 31, 2008.
Substantially all of Vornado Realty Trust’s assets are held through subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. Accordingly, Vornado Realty Trust’s cash flow and ability to pay dividends to its shareholders is dependent upon the cash flow of the Operating Partnership and the ability of its direct and indirect subsidiaries to first satisfy their obligations to creditors.
2. | Basis of Presentation |
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 have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission and 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, 2007, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Vornado and the Operating Partnership, 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. 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 income tax expense (benefit) have been reclassified in order to conform to current year presentation.
In connection with purchase accounting for H Street, in July 2005 and April 2007 we recorded an aggregate of $222,174,000 of deferred tax liabilities representing the differences between the tax basis and the book basis of the acquired assets and liabilities multiplied by the effective tax rate. We were required to record these deferred tax liabilities because H Street and its partially owned entities were operated as C Corporations at the time they were acquired. As of January 16, 2008, we have completed all of the actions necessary to enable these entities to elect REIT status effective for the tax year beginning on January 1, 2008. Consequently, in the first quarter of 2008, the deferred tax liabilities were eliminated and we recognized $222,174,000 as an income tax benefit on our consolidated statement of income.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 was effective for financial assets and liabilities on January 1, 2008. The FASB has deferred the implementation of the provisions of SFAS 157 relating to certain non-financial assets and liabilities until January 1, 2009. This standard is not expected to materially affect how we determine fair value, but may result in certain additional disclosures. SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels: Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities; Level 2 – observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data; and Level 3 – unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as consider counterparty credit risk in our assessment of fair value. Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in our consolidated financial statements consist of (i) marketable equity securities–available for sale, (ii) derivative positions in marketable equity securities and (iii) the assets of our officers’ deferred compensation plan (primarily marketable equity securities and equity investments in partially owned entities), for which there is a corresponding liability on our consolidated balance sheet. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value as of March 31, 2008 are presented in the table below based on the hierarchy used to measure fair value:

(1) | We chose not to elect the fair value option prescribed by SFAS 159 for our financial assets and liabilities that had not been previously carried at fair value. These financial assets and liabilities include our outstanding debt, accounts receivable, accounts payable and investments in partially owned entities. |
(2) | The fair value of these assets was $50,578 at December 31, 2007. The $6,893 decrease from the December 31, 2007 balance is due to a decline in fair value during the three months ended March 31, 2008. |
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 158”). SFAS 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 on January 1, 2009. 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 159”). SFAS 159 permits companies to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. SFAS 159 was effective on January 1, 2008. We have not elected the fair value option for any of our existing financial instruments on the effective date and have not determined whether or not we will elect this option for any eligible financial instruments we acquire in the future.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141R, Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R broadens the guidance of SFAS 141, extending its applicability to all transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses. SFAS 141R also broadens the fair value measurement and recognition of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and interests transferred as a result of business combinations; and stipulates that acquisition related costs be expensed rather than included as part of the basis of the acquisition. SFAS 141R expands required disclosures to improve the ability to evaluate the nature and financial effects of business combinations. SFAS 141R is effective for all transactions entered into on or after January 1, 2009. The adoption of this standard on January 1, 2009 could materially impact our future financial results to the extent that we acquire significant amounts of real estate, as related acquisition costs will be expensed as incurred compared to our current practice of capitalizing such costs and amortizing them over the estimated useful life of the assets acquired.
In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - An Amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 requires a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary to be reported as equity and the amount of consolidated net income specifically attributable to the noncontrolling interest to be identified in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 also calls for consistency in the manner of reporting changes in the parent’s ownership interest and requires fair value measurement of any noncontrolling equity investment retained in a deconsolidation. SFAS 160 is effective on January 1, 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact SFAS 160 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 enhances required disclosures regarding derivatives and hedging activities, including enhanced disclosures regarding how an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB Statement No. 133 and the impact of derivative instruments and related hedged items on an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective on January 1, 2009. We believe that the adoption of this standard on January 1, 2009 will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB re-affirmed the scope of a previously proposed FASB Staff Position (the “FSP”) that, if adopted, would affect the accounting for our convertible and exchangeable senior debentures and Series D-13 convertible preferred units. The FSP would require the initial proceeds from the sale of our convertible and exchangeable senior debentures and Series D-13 convertible preferred units to be allocated between a liability component and an equity component. The resulting discount would be amortized using the effective interest method over the period the debt is expected to remain outstanding as additional interest expense. The FSP would be effective for our fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2009 and require retroactive application. The adoption of the FSP on January 1, 2009 would result in the recognition of an aggregate unamortized debt discount of $170,927,000 (as of March 31, 2008) on our consolidated balance sheet and additional interest expense on our consolidated statements of income. Our current estimate of the incremental interest expense, net of minority interest, for each reporting period is as follows:

4. | 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 three-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, excluding $225,394,000 of net working capital and closing costs, 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. The operations of 1290 Avenue of the Americas are included in the New York Office segment and the operations of 555 California Street are included in the other segment. 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. In a decision dated October 1, 2007, the Court determined that Mr. Trump had already received access to the books and records to which he was entitled, with the exception of certain documents which were subsequently delivered to Mr. Trump. 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.
The following table presents our pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, as if the above transaction occurred on January 1, 2007. The unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of what our actual results would have been had the transaction been consummated on January 1, 2007, nor does it represent the results of operations for any future periods. In our opinion all adjustments necessary to reflect this transaction have been made.

The Lexington Master Limited Partnership (“Lexington MLP”)
As of March 31, 2008, we own 8,149,593 limited partnership units of Lexington MLP which are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis into common shares of Lexington Realty Trust (“Lexington”) (NYSE: LXP) or a 7.5% limited partnership 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.
Based on Lexington’s March 31, 2008 closing share price of $14.41 on the NYSE, the market value (“fair value” pursuant to SFAS 157) of our investment in Lexington MLP is $117,436,000, or $38,966,000 below the carrying amount on our consolidated balance sheet. We have concluded that as of March 31, 2008, the decline in the value of our investment is not “other-than-temporary.”
GMH Communities L.P. (“GMH”)
As of March 31, 2008, we own 7,337,857 GMH limited partnership units, which are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis into common shares of GMH Communities Trust (“GCT”) (NYSE: GCT), and 2,517,247 common shares of GCT, or 13.8% of the limited partnership interest of GMH. We account for our investment in GMH on the equity method and record our pro rata share of GMH’s net income or loss on a one-quarter lag basis as we file our consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K and 10-Q prior to the time that GCT files its financial statements.
On February 12, 2008, GCT announced that it has entered into two definitive agreements in connection with the sale of its military and student housing divisions for an aggregate sales price of approximately $9.61 per share/unit. In addition, GCT anticipates selling its remaining assets prior to the closing of the merger. The merger, which has been unanimously approved by GCT’s Board of Trustees, is subject to GCT shareholder approval and customary closing conditions.
Based on GCT’s March 31, 2008 closing share price of $8.68 on the NYSE, the market value (“fair value” pursuant to SFAS 157) of our investment in GMH and GCT is $85,542,000, or $16,092,000 below the carrying amount of $10.31 per share/unit on our consolidated balance sheet. We have concluded as of March 31, 2008, the decline in value of our investments is not “other-than-temporary” based on the aggregate value anticipated to be received as a result of the transaction described above, including the additional consideration from the sale of GCT’s remaining assets. Beginning on January 1, 2008, we are reserving 100% of our share of GMH’s net income (which amounted to $687,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008) until the sale transactions have been finalized.

As of March 31, 2008, we are a partner in four joint ventures established to develop real estate in India’s leading cities.

_____________________
| (1) | On June 5, 2007, we acquired a 42% interest in two MPH mezzanine loans totaling $158,700, for $66,000 in cash. The loans, which were due on February 8, 2008 and have not been repaid, are subordinate to $2.9 billion of mortgage and other debt and secured by the equity interests in four New York City properties: Worldwide Plaza, 1540 Broadway office condominium, 527 Madison Avenue and Tower 56. As of December 31, 2007, we reduced the net carrying amount of the loans to $9,000, by recognizing a $57,000 non-cash charge which was included as a reduction of “interest and other investment income” on our consolidated statement of income. On April 2, 2008, we sold a sub-participation interest in the loans for $19,300. The sub-participation did not meet the criteria for sale accounting under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 140 – Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“SFAS 140”) because the sub-participant is not free to pledge or exchange the asset. As of March 31, 2008, we have reduced our valuation allowance from $57,000 to $46,700, resulting in the recognition of $10,300 of “interest and other investment income” in the quarter ended March 31, 2008. |

13. | Stock-based Compensation |
Our 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 months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 consists of stock option awards, restricted common share, Operating Partnership unit awards and Out-Performance Plan awards. During the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, we recognized $8,075,000 and $5,647,000 of stock-based compensation expense, respectively, of which $3,128,000 in 2008 relates to our 2006 and 2008 Out-Performance Plans.
2008 Stock Options
On March 31, 2008, our Compensation Committee approved a grant of Vornado stock options to senior executives and employees. The options were granted with an exercise price 17.5% in excess of the average of the high and low price of our share on the New York Stock Exchange on that date. The options are expensed pro rata over the 5-year vesting term in accordance with SFAS No. 123R.
2008 Out-Performance Plan
On March 31, 2008, our Compensation Committee approved a $75,000,000 out-performance plan (the “2008 OPP”) that requires the achievement of performance objectives against both absolute and relative thresholds. The 2008 OPP establishes a potential performance pool in which 71 members of senior management have the opportunity to share in, if the total return to our shareholders (the “Total Return”), resulting from both share appreciation and dividends, for the four-year period from March 31, 2008 to March 31, 2012 exceeds both an absolute and a relative hurdle. The initial value from which to determine the Total Return is $86.20 per share, a 0.93% premium to the trailing 10-day average closing price for our shares on the date the plan was adopted.
The size of the out-performance pool for the 2008 OPP is 6% of the aggregate “out-performance return” subject to a maximum total award of $75,000,000 (the “Maximum Award”). The “out-performance return” is comprised of (i) 3% of the total dollar value of the Total Return in excess of 10% per annum (the “Absolute Component”), plus (ii) 3% of the total dollar value of the Total Return in excess of the Relative Threshold (the “Relative Component”), based on the SNL Equity REIT Index (the “Index”) over the four-year performance period. In the event that the Relative Component creates a negative award as a result of underperforming the Index, the value of any out-performance award potentially earned under the Absolute Component will be reduced dollar for dollar. In addition, awards potentially earned under the Relative Component will be reduced on a ratable sliding scale to the extent the Total Return is less than 10% per annum and to zero to the extent the Total Return is less than 7% per annum. The size of this out-performance pool, if any, will be determined based on the highest 30-trading day trailing average price of our shares during the final 150 days of the four-year period. During the four-year performance period, participants are entitled to receive 10% of the common dividends paid on Vornado’s common shares for each OPP unit awarded, regardless of whether the OPP units are ultimately earned.
The 2008 OPP also provides participants an opportunity to earn partial awards during two interim measurement periods (the “Interim Periods”): (a) one for a period consisting of the first two years of the plan and (b) one for a period consisting of the final two years of the plan. For each Interim Period, participants may be entitled to share in 40% ($30,000,000) of the maximum $75,000,000 performance pool if the performance thresholds have been met for the applicable Interim Periods on a pro rated basis. The starting share price for the first Interim Period is $86.20 per share. The starting share price for the second Interim Period is equal to the greater of our share price on March 31, 2010, or the initial starting share price of $86.20 per share less dividends paid during the first two years of the plan. If the maximum award is earned during the first Interim Period, participants lose the potential to earn the second Interim Period award, but not the potential to earn the remainder of the maximum award over the four-year period. The size of any out-performance pool for an Interim Period will be determined based on the highest 30-day trailing average price of our shares during the final 120 days of the applicable Interim Period.
Awards earned under the program (including any awards earned for the Interim Periods), will vest 50% on March 31, 2012 and 50% on March 31, 2013. The 2008 OPP is accounted for in accordance with FASB No. 123R. The fair value of the OPP awards on the day of grant, as adjusted for estimated forfeitures, was approximately $21,500,000, which will be amortized into expense over a five-year period beginning on the date of grant through the final vesting period, using a graded vesting attribution model.

14. | Commitments and Contingencies |
At March 31, 2008, $51,472,000 was reserved for outstanding letters of credit under our $1 billion revolving credit facility. Our credit facilities contain 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. Our credit facilities also 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.
In connection with our investments in partially owned entities, we are committed to fund additional capital aggregating $128,988,000. Of this amount, $82,750,000 relates to our equity commitment to the India Property Fund, L.P., and $19,701,000 relates to capital expenditures committed to 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 will earn current-pay interest at 30-day LIBOR plus 11%. The loan will mature in November 2008, with a one-year extension option. As of March 31, 2008, we have funded $23,545,000 of this commitment.
In June 2007 we formed Penn Plaza Insurance Company, LLC (“PPIC”), a wholly owned consolidated subsidiary, to act as a re-insurer with respect to a portion of our earthquake insurance coverage and as a direct insurer for coverage for “certified” acts of terrorism and for nuclear, biological, chemical and radiological (“NBCR”) acts, as defined by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007 (“TRIPRA”). Coverage for “certified” acts of terrorism is fully reinsured by third party insurance companies and the Federal government with no exposure to PPIC. Prior to the formation of PPIC, we were uninsured for losses under NBCR coverage. Subsequently, we have $1.5 billion of NBCR coverage under TRIPRA, for which PPIC is responsible for 15% of each NBCR loss and the insurance company deductible of $1,000,000. We are ultimately responsible for any loss borne by PPIC.
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, 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 $285,810,000 and $82,240,000 of cash invested in these agreements at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.
On January 16, 2008, our Board of Trustees approved the termination of the Vornado Realty Trust Retirement Plan and the Merchandise Mart Properties Pension Plan. The plans were frozen in 1998 and 1999, respectively. The termination is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2008. Our current estimate of the cost we will incur during the third quarter of 2008 to buy annuities from an insurance company or to make lump-sum payments to plan participants to terminate both plans is approximately $4,000,000.
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
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. We are currently engaged in discovery and anticipate that a trial date will be set for some time in 2008. We intend to vigorously pursue our claims against Stop & Shop. 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 flows.
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. In a decision dated October 1, 2007, the Court determined that Mr. Trump already received access to the books and records to which he was entitled, with the exception of certain documents which were subsequently delivered to Mr. Trump. 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.
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 flows.

15. | Retirement Plans |
On January 16, 2008, our Board of Trustees approved the termination of the Vornado Realty Trust Retirement Plan (“Vornado Plan”) and the Merchandise Mart Properties Pension Plan (“Mart Plan”). The termination is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2008. Our current estimate of the cost we will incur during the third quarter of 2008 to buy annuities from an insurance company or to make lump-sum payments to plan participants to terminate both plans is approximately $4,000,000.
The following table sets forth the components of net periodic benefit costs:

Employer Contributions
During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, we made no contributions to the plans. We made contributions of $366,000 to the plans during the three months ended March 31, 2007. We anticipate making contributions of $2,205,000 to the plans during the remainder of 2008.
16. | Costs of Acquisitions Not Consummated |
In the first quarter of 2008, we wrote-off $2,283,000 of costs associated with the Hudson Rail Yards acquisition not consummated. In the first quarter of 2007, we wrote-off $8,807,000 of costs associated with The Equity Office Properties Trust acquisition not consummated.
17. | Marketable Equity Securities |
In the first quarter of 2008, we determined that an investment in a marketable equity security was “other-than-temporarily” impaired and recorded a non-cash charge of $9,073,000, based on the March 31, 2008 closing share price of this security, which is included in “interest and other investment income” on our consolidated statement of income.

| (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. |

On March 31, 2008, we sold our 47.6% interest in Americold Realty Trust (“Americold”), our Temperature Controlled Logistics segment, for $220,000,000, which resulted in a net gain of $112,690,000. Accordingly, during the first quarter of 2008, we classified our Temperature Controlled Logistics segment as a discontinued operation in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 144 and reported revenues and expenses related to this segment as “income from discontinued operations” and the related assets and liabilities of this segment as “assets held for sale” and “liabilities held for sale” for all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, our reportable segments no longer include a Temperature Controlled Logistics segment.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Shareholders and Board of Trustees
Vornado Realty Trust
New York, New York
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Vornado Realty Trust as of March 31, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. 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 the 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 Trust as of December 31, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 26, 2008, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. We also audited the adjustments described in Note 10 that were applied to reclassify the December 31, 2007 consolidated balance sheet of Vornado Realty Trust (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 consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007.

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 represent our intentions, plans, expectations and beliefs and are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties. 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 other similar expressions in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Many of the factors that will determine the outcome of these and our other forward-looking statements are beyond our ability to control or predict. For further discussion of factors that could materially affect the outcome of our forward-looking statements, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. 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. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or the date of any document incorporated by reference. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. We do not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to our forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations include a discussion of our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2008. 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, 2007 in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition. There have been no significant changes to our policies during 2008.

Overview
Business Objective and Operating Strategy
Our business objective is to maximize shareholder value. We measure our success in meeting this objective by our total return to shareholders. Below is a table comparing our performance to the Morgan Stanley REIT Index (“RMS”) and the SNL REIT Index (“SNL”) for the following periods ending March 31, 2008:

_________________________
| (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. |
We expect to finance our growth, acquisitions and investments using internally generated funds, proceeds from possible asset sales and by accessing the public and private capital markets.
We have a large concentration of properties in the New York City metropolitan area and in the Washington, DC and Northern Virginia areas. We compete with a large number of real estate property owners and developers, some of which may be willing to accept lower returns on their investments. Principal factors of competition are rent charged, attractiveness of location, the quality of the property and breadth and quality of services provided. Our success depends upon, among other factors, trends of the national, regional 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.
Beginning in the second half of 2007, the residential mortgage and capital markets began showing signs of stress, primarily in the form of escalating default rates on sub-prime mortgages, declining residential home values and increasing inventory nationwide. This “credit” crisis spread to the broader commercial credit markets and has generally reduced the availability of financing and widened spreads. These factors, coupled with a slowing economy, may negatively impact the volume of real estate transactions and cap rates, which would negatively impact stock price performance of public real estate companies, including ours. If these conditions continue to persist in 2008 and beyond, our real estate portfolio may experience lower occupancy and effective rents which would result in a corresponding decrease in net income, funds from operations and cash flows. In addition, the value of our investments in joint ventures, marketable securities and mezzanine loans may also decline as a result of the above factors. Such declines may result in impairment charges and/or valuation allowances which would result in a corresponding decrease in net income and funds from operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Literature
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 was effective for financial assets and liabilities on January 1, 2008. The FASB has deferred the implementation of the provisions of SFAS 157 relating to certain non-financial assets and liabilities until January 1, 2009. This standard is not expected to materially affect how we determine fair value, but may result in certain additional disclosures. SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels: Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities; Level 2 – observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data; and Level 3 – unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as consider counterparty credit risk in our assessment of fair value. Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in our consolidated financial statements consist of (i) marketable equity securities–available for sale, (ii) derivative positions in marketable equity securities and (iii) the assets of our officers’ deferred compensation plan (primarily marketable equity securities and equity investments in partially owned entities), for which there is a corresponding liability on our consolidated balance sheet. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value as of March 31, 2008 are presented in the table below based on the hierarchy used to measure fair value:

___________________
(1) | We chose not to elect the fair value option prescribed by SFAS 159 for our financial assets and liabilities that had not been previously carried at fair value. These financial assets and liabilities include our outstanding debt, accounts receivable, accounts payable and investments in partially owned entities. |
(2) | The fair value of these assets was $50,578 at December 31, 2007. The $6,893 decrease from the December 31, 2007 balance is due to a decline in fair value during the three months ended March 31, 2008. |
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 158”). SFAS 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 on January 1, 2009. 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 159”). SFAS 159 permits companies to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. SFAS 159 was effective on January 1, 2008. We have not elected the fair value option for any of our existing financial instruments on the effective date and have not determined whether or not we will elect this option for any eligible financial instruments we acquire in the future.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141R, Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R broadens the guidance of SFAS 141, extending its applicability to all transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses. SFAS 141R also broadens the fair value measurement and recognition of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and interests transferred as a result of business combinations; and stipulates that acquisition related costs be expensed rather than included as part of the basis of the acquisition. SFAS 141R expands required disclosures to improve the ability to evaluate the nature and financial effects of business combinations. SFAS 141R is effective for all transactions entered into on or after January 1, 2009. The adoption of this standard on January 1, 2009 could materially impact our future financial results to the extent that we acquire significant amounts of real estate, as related acquisition costs will be expensed as incurred compared to our current practice of capitalizing such costs and amortizing them over the estimated useful life of the assets acquired.
In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - An Amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 requires a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary to be reported as equity and the amount of consolidated net income specifically attributable to the noncontrolling interest to be identified in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 also calls for consistency in the manner of reporting changes in the parent’s ownership interest and requires fair value measurement of any noncontrolling equity investment retained in a deconsolidation. SFAS 160 is effective on January 1, 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact SFAS 160 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 enhances required disclosures regarding derivatives and hedging activities, including enhanced disclosures regarding how an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB Statement No. 133 and the impact of derivative instruments and related hedged items on an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective on January 1, 2009. We believe that the adoption of this standard on January 1, 2009 will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB re-affirmed the scope of a previously proposed FASB Staff Position (the “FSP”) that, if adopted, would affect the accounting for our convertible and exchangeable senior debentures and Series D-13 convertible preferred units. The FSP would require the initial proceeds from the sale of our convertible and exchangeable senior debentures and Series D-13 convertible preferred units to be allocated between a liability component and an equity component. The resulting discount would be amortized using the effective interest method over the period the debt is expected to remain outstanding as additional interest expense. The FSP would be effective for our fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2009 and require retroactive application. The adoption of the FSP on January 1, 2009 would result in the recognition of an aggregate unamortized debt discount of $170,927,000 (as of March 31, 2008) on our consolidated balance sheet and additional interest expense on our consolidated statements of income. Our current estimate of the incremental interest expense, net of minority interest, for each reporting period is as follows:

Net Income and EBITDA by Segment for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 - 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. |

On March 31, 2008, we sold our 47.6% interest in Americold Realty Trust (“Americold”), our Temperature Controlled Logistics segment, for $220,000,000, which resulted in a net gain of $112,690,000. Accordingly, during the first quarter of 2008, we classified our Temperature Controlled Logistics segment as a discontinued operation in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 144 and reported revenues and expenses related to this segment as “income from discontinued operations” and the related assets and liabilities of this segment as “assets held for sale” and “liabilities held for sale” for all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, our reportable segments no longer include a Temperature Controlled Logistics segment.

(3) | Primarily from a decrease in real estate taxes and new tenant base years. |
(4) | Primarily from leasing fees in 2007 in connection with our management of a development project. |
(5) | Represents the elimination of inter-company cleaning revenue from our other operating segments upon consolidation. See page 44 for the elimination of inter-company cleaning charges. |

Income Applicable to Alexander’s
Our 32.8% share of Alexander’s net income (comprised of equity in net income, management, leasing, and development fees) was $7,929,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $13,519,000 for the prior year’s first quarter, a decrease of $5,590,000. This decrease was primarily due to $205,000 of expense for our share of accrued stock appreciation rights compensation expense in the current quarter as compared to $4,694,000 for our share of income from the reversal of accrued stock appreciation rights compensation expense in the prior year’s quarter.
Income Applicable to Toys
Our 32.7% share of Toys’ net income (comprised of equity in net income, interest income on loans receivable, and management fees) was $80,362,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, or $174,281,000 before our share of Toys’ income tax expense, compared to $58,661,000, or $112,058,000 before our share of Toys’ income tax expense for the prior year’s quarter. The increase in our income applicable to Toys’ before income tax expense of $62,223,000 results primarily from (i) an increase in Toys’ net sales due to improvements in comparable store sales across all divisions and benefits arising from foreign currency translation, (ii) decreased interest expense primarily due to reduced borrowings and reduced amortization of deferred financing costs, partially offset by, (iii) an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, which as a percentage of net sales were 20.9% and 20.6% for the thirteen week period ended February 2, 2008 and the fourteen week period ended February 3, 2007, respectively.

________________________
(1) | Effective as of the December 31, 2006 merger of Newkirk Master Limited Partnership with Lexington MLP, we recognize our share of Lexington MLP’s net earnings 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, the three months ended March 31, 2007 did not include our share of Lexington MLP’s net earnings for its first quarter ended March 31, 2007. |
(2) | As of March 31, 2008, we are a partner in four joint ventures established to develop real estate in India’s leading cities. Our investment in these ventures aggregated $79,405 as of March 31, 2008, and we are committed to fund an additional $96,750 as these ventures require capital. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we funded $32,250 of cash to the India Property Fund L.P. (the “Fund”) and have a remaining capital commitment to the Fund of $82,750. As of March 31, 2008, and December 31, 2007, our ownership interest in the Fund was 36.5% and 50.6%, respectively. Based on the reduction of our ownership interest in 2008, we no longer consolidate the accounts of the Fund into our consolidated financial statements and beginning January 1, 2008 we account for our investment in the Fund on the equity method. |
(3) | As of March 31, 2008, we own 7,337,857 GMH limited partnership units, which are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis into common shares of GMH Communities Trust (“GCT”) (NYSE: GCT), and 2,517,247 common shares of GCT, or 13.8% of the limited partnership interest of GMH. We account for our investment in GMH on the equity method and record our pro rata share of GMH’s net income or loss on a one-quarter lag basis as we file our consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K and 10-Q prior to the time that GCT files its financial statements. On February 12, 2008, GCT announced that it has entered into two definitive agreements in connection with the sale of its military and student housing divisions for an aggregate sales price of approximately $9.61 per share/unit. In addition, GCT anticipates selling its remaining assets prior to the closing of the merger. The merger, which has been unanimously approved by GCT’s Board of Trustees, is subject to GCT shareholder approval and customary closing conditions. Beginning on January 1, 2008, we are reserving for 100% of our share of GMH’s net income (which amounted to $687 for the three months ended March 31, 2008) until the sale transactions have been finalized. |
(4) | On April 30, 2007, we acquired the corporations that own the remaining 50% interest in these entities. As of 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. |
(5) | 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. |
(6) | The three months ended March 31, 2008 includes a $34,200 write-off for our share of two joint ventures’ pre-development costs, of which $23,000 represents our 50% share of costs in connection with the abandonment of the “arena move”/Moynihan East portions of the Farley project. |

Interest and Other Investment Income
Interest and other investment income (mark-to-market of derivative positions, interest income on mortgage loans receivable, other interest income and dividend income) was $14,104,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to income of $53,504,000 in the prior year’s quarter, a decrease of $39,400,000. This decrease resulted primarily from:

On June 5, 2007, we acquired a 42% interest in two MPH mezzanine loans totaling $158,700,000, for $66,000,000 in cash. The loans, which were due on February 8, 2008 and have not been repaid, are subordinate to $2.9 billion of mortgage and other debt and secured by the equity interests in four New York City properties: Worldwide Plaza, 1540 Broadway office condominium, 527 Madison Avenue and Tower 56. As of December 31, 2007, we reduced the net carrying amount of the loans to $9,000,000, by recognizing a $57,000,000 non-cash charge which is included as a reduction of “interest and other investment income” on our consolidated statement of income. On April 2, 2008, we sold a sub-participation interest in the loans for $19,300,000. The sub-participation did not meet the criteria for sale accounting under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 140 Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“SFAS 140”) because the sub-participant is not free to pledge or exchange the asset. As of March 31, 2008, we have reduced our valuation allowance from $57,000,000 to $46,700,000, resulting in the recognition of $10,300,000 of “interest and other investment income” in the quarter ended March 31, 2008.
Interest and Debt Expense
Interest and debt expense was $148,179,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $130,698,000 in the prior year’s quarter, an increase of $17,481,000. This increase resulted primarily from $21,884,000 of interest expense on $1,633,898,000 of debt resulting from property acquisitions during 2007, partially offset by a $6,555,000 increase in the amount of capitalized interest related to a larger amount of assets under development.
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 $909,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, and represented net gains on sale of marketable securities.
Minority Interest of Partially Owned Entities
Minority interest of partially owned entities represents the minority partners’ pro rata share of the net income or loss of consolidated partially owned entities, including 1290 Avenue of the Americas, 555 California Street, 220 Central Park South, Wasserman and the Springfield Mall. In the three months ended March 31, 2008 we recorded $406,000 of income as compared to $350,000 of income in the prior year’s quarter.

Income Tax Benefit (Expense)
The provision for income taxes was a benefit of $217,329,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, compared to expense of $89,000 for the prior year’s quarter, a decrease in expense of $217,418,000. The decrease in expense results primarily from $222,174,000 for the reversal of deferred taxes recorded in connection with the acquisition of H Street. In connection with purchase accounting for H Street, in July 2005 and April 2007 we recorded an aggregate of $222,174,000 of deferred tax liabilities representing the differences between the tax basis and the book basis of the acquired assets and liabilities multiplied by the effective tax rate. We were required to record these deferred tax liabilities because H Street and its partially owned entities were operated as C Corporations at the time they were acquired. As of January 16, 2008, we have completed all of the actions necessary to enable these entities to elect REIT status effective for the tax year beginning on January 1, 2008. Consequently, in the first quarter of 2008, the deferred tax liabilities were eliminated and we recognized $222,174,000 as an income tax benefit on our consolidated statement of income.
Discontinued Operations (including $112,690,000 net gain on sale of Americold in 2008)
The combined results of operations of the assets related to discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 include the operating results of Americold, which was sold on March 31, 2008; 19.6 acres of land we acquired as part of our acquisition of H Street, of which 11 acres were sold in September 2007; Vineland, New Jersey, which was sold on July 16, 2007; Crystal Mall Two, which was sold on August 9, 2007; and Arlington Plaza, which was sold on October 17, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
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 three-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, excluding $225,394,000 of net working capital and closing costs, 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. The operations of 1290 Avenue of the Americas are included in the New York Office segment and the operations of 555 California Street are included in the other segment. We consolidate the accounts of these properties into our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.
The following table presents our pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, as if the above transaction occurred on January 1, 2007. The unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of what our actual results would have been had the transaction been consummated on January 1, 2007, nor does it represent the results of operations for any future periods. In our opinion all adjustments necessary to reflect this transaction have been made.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION - continued
Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 vs. Three Months Ended December 31, 2007
Our revenues and expenses are subject to seasonality during the year which impacts quarter-by-quarter net earnings, cash flows and funds from operations. The business of Toys is highly seasonal. Historically, Toys’ fourth quarter net income, which we recorded on a one-quarter lag basis in our first quarter, accounts for more than 80% of Toys’ fiscal year net income. The Office and Merchandise Mart segments have historically experienced higher utility costs in the first and third quarters of the year. The Merchandise Mart segment also has experienced higher earnings in the second and fourth quarters of the year due to major trade shows occurring in those quarters. The Retail segment revenue in the fourth quarter is typically higher due to the recognition of percentage rental income.
Below are the details of the changes in EBITDA by segment for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from the three months ended December 31, 2007.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS (“FFO”)
FFO is computed in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). NAREIT defines FFO as net income or loss determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), excluding extraordinary items as defined under GAAP and gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, plus specified non-cash items, such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. FFO and FFO per diluted share are used by management, investors and industry analysts as supplemental measures of operating performance of equity REITs. FFO and FFO per diluted share should be evaluated along with GAAP net income and income per diluted share (the most directly comparable GAAP measures), as well as cash flow from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities, in evaluating the operating performance of equity REITs. Management believes that FFO and FFO per diluted share are helpful to investors as supplemental performance measures because these measures exclude the effect of depreciation, amortization and gains or losses from sales of real estate, all of which are based on historical costs which implicitly assumes that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, these non-GAAP measures can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and among other equity REITs. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs as disclosed in Our Statements of Cash Flows. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. The calculations of both the numerator and denominator used in the computation of income per share are disclosed in footnote 11 – Income Per Share, in the notes to our consolidated financial statements on page 23 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
FFO for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2008, and 2007
FFO applicable to common shares plus assumed conversions was $535,211,000, or $3.28 per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $270,165,000, or $1.65 per diluted share for the prior year’s quarter. Details of certain items that affect comparability are discussed in the financial results summary of our “Overview.”

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
We have exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates. Market interest rates are 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:

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. As of March 31, 2008, variable rate debt with an aggregate principal amount of $410,998,000 and a weighted average interest rate of 4.25% was subject to LIBOR caps. These caps are based on a notional amount of $412,000,000 and cap LIBOR at a weighted average rate of 6.34%. As of March 31, 2008, we have investments in mezzanine loans with an aggregate carrying amount of $127,504,000 that are based on variable interest rates which partially mitigate our exposure to a change in interest rates on our variable rate debt.
Fair Value of Debt
As of March 31, 2008, the carrying amount of our debt exceeds its aggregate fair value by approximately $151,600,000, 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.
Derivative Instruments in Marketable Equity Securities
We have, and may in the future enter into, derivative positions in marketable equity securities that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. 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 months ended March 31, 2008 we recognized a net loss of $18,362,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2007 we recognized net gains of $9,380,000, after all expenses and LIBOR charges.

Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures: The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’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, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2008, 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.

PART II. | OTHER INFORMATION |
Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
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.
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 that we had no right to reallocate and therefore continue to collect the $5,000,000 of annual rent from Stop & Shop pursuant to the Master Agreement and Guaranty, because of the expiration of the East Brunswick, Jersey City, Middletown, Union and Woodbridge leases to which the $5,000,000 of additional rent was previously allocated. 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. We are currently engaged in discovery and anticipate that a trial date will be set for some time in 2008. We intend to vigorously pursue our claims against Stop & Shop. 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 flows.
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. In a decision dated October 1, 2007, the Court determined that Mr. Trump had already received access to the books and records to which he was entitled, with the exception of certain documents which were subsequently delivered to Mr. Trump. 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.
