CALI REALTY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.    ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization

Cali  Realty   Corporation  and  subsidiaries   (the   "Company"),   a  Maryland
corporation, is a fully integrated, self-administered,  self-managed real estate
investment trust (REIT) providing leasing, management, acquisition, development,
construction  and tenant- related  services for its properties.  As of September
30, 1996, the Company owned and operated 45 properties,  consisting of 44 office
and office/flex  buildings totaling  approximately 4.3 million square feet and a
327-unit residential complex (the  "Properties"). The Properties are located in
New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania.

The Company was incorporated on May 24, 1994 and commenced  operations on August
31, 1994. On August 31, 1994, the Company  completed an initial public  offering
and effected a business  combination  with the Cali Group (not a legal  entity).
The Company  raised (net of offering  costs)  approximately  $165,518 of capital
through an initial  public  offering of 10,500,000  shares of common stock,  and
used the proceeds to acquire a 78.94 percent interest in Cali Realty,  L.P. (the
"Operating  Partnership") and related entities,  which are the successors to the
operations  of  the  Cali  Group.  Prior  to  the  completion  of  the  business
combination  with the  Company,  the Cali  Group  was  engaged  in  development,
ownership  and  operation  of a portfolio  of twelve  office  buildings  and one
multi-family  residential  property,  all  located in New Jersey  (the  "Initial
Properties").

In 1994 and 1995,  following the Company's initial public offering,  the Company
acquired 28 office and office/flex properties totaling 1,723,000 square feet for
approximately  $157,000.  These properties are all located in New Jersey and New
York.

On March 20, 1996, the Company sold its office building located at 15 Essex Road
in Paramus, New Jersey ("Essex Road") and concurrently  acquired a 95,000 square
foot office  building  at 103  Carnegie  Center in  Princeton,  New Jersey.  The
concurrent  transactions  qualified as a tax-free exchange,  as the Company used
substantially  all of the  proceeds  from the sale of Essex Road to acquire  the
Princeton property. The financial statements for the nine months ended September
30, 1996 include a gain of $5,658 relating to this transaction.

In advance of the sale of Essex Road,  on March 12,  1996,  the Company  prepaid
$5,492 of the Mortgage Financing (Note 5) and obtained a release of the mortgage
liens on the property.  On account of  prepayment  penalties,  loan  origination
fees,  legal fees and other costs  incurred in the  retirement  of the debt,  an
extraordinary loss of $475, net of minority  interest's share of the loss ($86),
was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

On May 2, 1996, the Company acquired Rose Tree Corporate  Center, a two-building
suburban office complex totaling  approximately  260,000 square feet, located in
Media,  Pennsylvania,  for approximately  $28,100, which was drawn on one of the
Company's credit facilities.

On July 23, 1996, the Company acquired 222 and 233 Mount Airy Road, two suburban
office buildings totaling  approximately 115,000 square feet, located in Basking
Ridge,  New  Jersey,  for  approximately  $10,500  which was drawn on one of the
Company's credit facilities.

On November 4, 1996, the Company  acquired the Harborside  Financial  Center,  a
three-building  office complex totaling  approximately  1,887,000 square feet of
office and retail space,  located on the Hudson River waterfront in Jersey City,
New Jersey  ("Harborside").  As part of the purchase,  the Company acquired 11.3
acres of land  fully-zoned  and permitted for an additional  4.1 million  square
feet of  development  and the water  rights  associated  with 27.4 acres of land
extending  into the Hudson  River  immediately  east of the  existing  property,
including  two  piers  with an area  of 5.8  acres.  The  acquisition  cost  for
Harborside of approximately $287,400 was financed with mortgage debt of $150,000
and with cash of $137,400  which was made  available  substantially  through the
Company's revolving credit facilities (including a new credit facility described
below).  The $150,000 debt is comprised of the following:  (1) assumption of the
existing  mortgage  financing  on the  property of  $107,912,  which has a fixed
annual interest rate of 7.32 percent and a term of nine years, and (2) a $42,088
mortgage provided by the seller with an annual interest rate comparable with the
current  three-year  treasury rate and a spread of 90 basis point, which is 6.99
percent,  (the rate being adjusted at the end of the third and sixth years based
on the  comparable  treasury  rates at those  times,  with  spreads of 110 basis
points in years four through  six,  and 130 basis points in years seven  through
maturity).  In  connection  with the  acquisition  of  Harborside,  the  Company
obtained an additional  revolving  credit  facility from  Prudential  Securities
Credit Corp.  ("PSC")  totaling  $80,000,  which bears interest at the one-month
London  Inter-Bank  Transfer Rate (LIBOR) plus 125 basis points,  and matures on
January 15, 1998, unless the Company or the lender elects to extend the maturity
date to not earlier than June 30, 1998, or the facility is  refinanced  prior to
such date, at the election of either the Company or the lender. The Company drew
on  this  credit  facility  and on a  previously  existing  facility  to  fund a
substantial  amount of the cash portion of the Harborside  acquisition cost. The
terms of the  acquisition  of the  vacant  parcels  at  Harborside  provide  for
additional  payments  (with an  estimated  net  present  value of  approximately
$5,252) to be made to the seller for development  rights if and when the Company
commences  construction on the site during the next several years.  However, the
agreement  provides,  among  other  things,  that even if the  Company  does not
commence  construction,  the  seller may  nevertheless  require  the  Company to
acquire  these  rights  during the  six-month  period after the end of the sixth
year.  After such period,  the seller's  option lapses,  but any  development in
years 7 through  30 will  require a payment,  on an  increasing  scale,  for the
development rights.

The Company also intends to acquire through three individual  transactions  with
separate,  unrelated  sellers,  a three-building  office complex, a two-building
office complex and an individual office building (the "Proposed  Acquisitions").
The total aggregate  initial  acquisition  cost of the Proposed  Acquisitions is
estimated to be approximately  $90,600.  

The Proposed Acquisitions consist of the following:

(1)   The  International  Court at Airport  Business Center is a  three-building
      office complex  comprised of approximately  370,000 square feet located in
      Lester,  Delaware County,  Pennsylvania,  to be acquired for approximately
      $43,000.

(2)   Whiteweld  Centre is a  three-story,  approximately  230,000 net  rentable
      square foot office building located in Woodcliff Lake, Bergen County,  New
      Jersey, to be acquired for approximately $35,200.

(3)   Five Sentry Parkway East & West is a two-building office complex comprised
      of  approximately  131,000 net  rentable  square feet  located in Plymouth
      Meeting, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, to be acquired for approximately
      $12,400.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying  consolidated  financial statements include all accounts of the
Company and its  majority-owned  subsidiaries, which consist  principally of the
Operating  Partnership.  The  Company's  investment in Cali  Services,  Inc. (an
entity formed to provide third party management  services in which the Operating
Partnership has a 99 percent interest) is accounted for under the equity method.

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of
contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and
the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses  during the  reporting  period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.


2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Rental Property

Rental  properties  are  stated at cost  less  accumulated  depreciation.  Costs
include  interest,  property  taxes,  insurance and other project costs incurred
during the period of construction. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed
as incurred;  major replacements and betterments are capitalized and depreciated
over their estimated useful lives. Fully depreciated assets are removed from the
accounts.  Depreciation is computed on a straight-line  basis over the estimated
useful lives of the assets as follows:

Buildings and improvements                   39 to 40 years
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tenant improvements                          The shorter of the term of the
                                             related lease or useful lives
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Furniture, fixtures and equipment           5 to 10 years
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On a periodic basis,  management  assesses whether there are any indicators that
the value of the real estate  properties may be impaired.  A property's value is
impaired  only if  management's  estimate  of the  aggregate  future  cash flows
(undiscounted  and without interest charges) to be generated by the property are
less than the carrying value of the property.  Management  does not believe that
the value of any of its real estate properties are impaired.

Deferred Financing Costs

Costs  incurred in  obtaining  financing  are  capitalized  and  amortized  on a
straight-line  basis, which approximates the effective interest method, over the
term of the related indebtedness.  Amortization of such costs were $278 and $362
for the three month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and
$805 and $1,239 for the nine month  periods  ended  September 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.

Deferred Leasing Costs

Costs  incurred in  connection  with leases are  capitalized  and amortized on a
straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases.  Unamortized  deferred
leasing costs are charged to amortization  expense upon early termination of the
lease.

Revenue Recognition

The Company  recognizes  base rental revenue on a  straight-line  basis over the
terms of the respective leases.  Unbilled rents receivable represents the amount
by  which  straight-line  rental  revenue  exceeds  rents  currently  billed  in
accordance  with the lease  agreements.  Parking  revenue  includes  income from
parking spaces leased to tenants.

Rental  income on  residential  property  under  operating  leases  having terms
generally of one year or less is recognized when earned.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

All  highly  liquid  investments  with a maturity  of three  months or less when
purchased are considered to be cash equivalents.

Income and Other Taxes

The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under  Sections 856 through 860 of
the Code.  As a REIT,  the Company will not be subject to federal  income tax to
the extent it  distributes at least 95 percent of its REIT taxable income to its
shareholders.  REITs are subject to a number of  organizational  and operational
requirements. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the
Company  will be  subject  to  federal  income  tax  (including  any  applicable
alternative  minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular  corporate tax rates.
The Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes.

Net Income Per Share

Net  income per share is  computed  using the  weighted  average  common  shares
outstanding  during the period.  The weighted average shares  outstanding during
the three month periods ended  September 30, 1996 and 1995 were  17,045,063  and
10,400,000 respectively, and the nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 and
1995 were  15,802,573  and  10,424,000,  respectively.  The assumed  exercise of
outstanding  stock  options  using the Treasury  Stock method is not  considered
dilutive in any period.

Dividends and Distributions Payable

The  dividends  and  distributions  payable  at  September  30,  1996  represent
dividends  payable to  shareholders  of record on  October  3, 1996  (18,667,737
shares) and distributions  payable to minority interest  unitholders  (2,699,002
Units) on that same date. The third quarter dividends and distributions of $0.45
per share and per Unit were  approved by the Board of Directors on September 20,
1996 and were paid on October 18, 1996.

3.  RESTRICTED CASH

Restricted cash includes  security  deposits for the residential  property,  and
escrow  and  reserve  funds  for  debt  service,  real  estate  taxes,  property
insurance,  capital  improvements,   tenant  improvements,   and  leasing  costs
established pursuant to certain mortgage financing arrangements and is comprised
of the following:

[a]   Concurrent  with the  Company's  initial  public  offering,  the Company's
      initial operating subsidiaries,  which own the Initial Properties,  issued
      five-year  mortgage notes with an aggregate  principal balance of $144,500
      secured and cross-collateralized by the Initial Properties to an affiliate
      ("PSI") of Prudential  Securities Inc. PSI then issued commercial mortgage
      pay-through bonds ("Bonds")  collateralized  by the mortgage notes.  Bonds
      with an aggregate principal balance of $70,000 were purchased by unrelated
      third parties.  Bonds with an aggregate  principal balance of $74,500 were
      purchased by the Company.  As a result,  the  Company's  initial  mortgage
      financing was $70,000 (the "Mortgage Financing"). Approximately $38,000 of
      the $70,000 is guaranteed under certain  conditions by certain partners of
      the  partnerships  which  owned  the  Initial  Properties.   The  Mortgage
      Financing  requires  monthly payments of interest only, with all principal
      and any accrued but unpaid  interest  due in August  1999.  $46,000 of the
      $70,000  Mortgage  Financing  bears  interest at a net cost to the Company
      equal to a fixed rate of 8.02 percent per annum and the remaining  $24,000
      bears  interest at a net cost to the Company  equal to a floating  rate of
      100 basis points over one-month LIBOR with a lifetime interest rate cap of
      11.6 percent.

      In advance  of the sale of Essex  Road,  on March 12,  1996,  the  Company
      prepaid  $5,492  ($1,687-fixed  rate,  $3,805-floating  rate  debt) of the
      Mortgage Financing,  resulting in outstanding  balances of $44,313 for the
      8.02 percent fixed rate debt and $20,195 for the floating rate debt.

[b]   In connection with the acquisition of an office building in Fair Lawn, New
      Jersey on March 3, 1995,  the  Company  assumed  an  $18,764  non-recourse
      mortgage loan ("Fair Lawn Property Loan") bearing interest at a fixed rate
      of 8.25  percent per annum.  The loan  requires  payment of interest  only
      through March 15, 1996 and payment of principal  and interest  thereafter,
      on a 20-year amortization  schedule,  with the remaining principal balance
      due October 1, 2003.  For the nine months ended  September  30, 1996,  the
      Company has paid $221 for  amortization  of the principal on the Fair Lawn
      Property Loan.

[c]   The Company has a $70,000  revolving  credit facility (the "Initial Credit
      Facility"),  which may be used to fund  acquisitions  and new  development
      projects  and for general  working  capital  purposes,  including  capital
      expenditures  and tenant  improvements.  In  connection  with the Mortgage
      Financing,  the Company obtained a $6,005 letter of credit, secured by the
      Initial Credit  Facility,  to meet certain tenant  improvement and capital
      expenditure  reserve  requirements.   The  Initial  Credit  Facility  bore
      interest at a floating rate equal to 150 basis points over one-month LIBOR
      for January 1, 1996 through August 31, 1996.  Effective September 1, 1996,
      the interest rate was reduced to a floating rate equal to 125 basis points
      over one-month LIBOR. The Initial Credit Facility is a recourse  liability
      of the  Operating  Partnership  and is secured by a pledge of the  $74,500
      Bonds held by the Company.  The Initial Credit Facility  requires  monthly
      payments of interest only, with  outstanding  advances and any accrued but
      unpaid  interest  due  August  31,  1997 and is  subject to renewal at the
      lender's sole discretion.  The Initial Credit Facility also requires a fee
      equal  to  one  quarter  of one  percent  of the  unused  balance  payable
      quarterly in arrears.  On November 4, 1996, the Company drew an additional
      $51,513 on the Initial Credit  Facility in connection with the acquisition
      of Harborside.

[d]   On February 1, 1996, the Company  obtained an additional  credit  facility
      (the "Additional Credit Facility") secured by certain of its properties in
      the amount of $75,000 from two participating  banks. The Additional Credit
      Facility has a three-year term and bears interest at 150 basis points over
      one-month  LIBOR.  The terms of the  Additional  Credit  Facility  include
      certain  restrictions  and  covenants  which  limit,  among other  things,
      dividend payments and additional indebtedness and which require compliance
      with specified  financial  ratios and other  financial  measurements.  The
      Additional Credit Facility also requires a fee equal to one quarter of one
      percent of the unused balance payable quarterly in arrears.

      In connection with the acquisition of Harborside,  the Company  obtained a
      new revolving  credit  facility ("New Credit  Facility") from PSC totaling
      $80,000, which bears interest at 125 basis points over one-month LIBOR and
      matures on January  15,  1998,  unless the Company or PSC elects to extend
      the maturity  date to not earlier  than June 30, 1998,  or the facility is
      refinanced  prior to such date at the  election  of either the  Company or
      PSC.  PSC has full  recourse to the assets of the Company  with respect to
      outstanding borrowings under the New Credit Facility. In addition, the New
      Credit Facility is secured by the Company's equity interest in Harborside.
      The terms of the New Credit  Facility  include  certain  restrictions  and
      covenants that limit, among other things, dividend payments and additional
      indebtedness and that require  compliance with specified  financial ratios
      and other  financial  measurements.  The Company drew $80,000 from the New
      Credit Facility on November 4, 1996, in connection with the acquisition of
      Harborside.

      In addition,  on November 4, 1996, the Company  assumed  existing debt and
      provided  seller-mortgage  debt  aggregating  $150  million (as more fully
      described in the Harborside discussion in Note 1.)

      Interest Rate Swap Agreements:

      On May 24, 1995, the Company  entered into an interest rate swap agreement
      with a commercial  bank. The swap agreement fixes the Company's  one-month
      LIBOR base to a fixed  6.285  percent  per annum on a  notional  amount of
      $24,000 through August 1999.

      On January 23,  1996,  the  Company  entered  into an  interest  rate swap
      agreement with one of the  participating  banks in its  Additional  Credit
      Facility.  The swap agreement has a three-year  term and a notional amount
      of  $26,000,  which  fixes the  Company's  one-month  LIBOR  base to 5.265
      percent on its floating rate credit facilities.

      The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of  non-performance  by
      the other  parties to the  interest  rate swap  agreements.  However,  the
      Company does not anticipate non-performance by either counterparty.
 
6. MINORITY INTEREST

In  conjunction  with  the  Company's   initial  public  offering,   individuals
contributing  interests  to the  Operating  Partnership  had the  right to elect
either to receive  common  stock of the Company or Units.  A Unit and a share of
common stock of the Company have substantially the same economic characteristics
in as much as they  effectively  share  equally in the net income or loss of the
Operating  Partnership.  Minority  interest  in  the  accompanying  consolidated
financial statements relates to Units held by parties other than the Company.

Beginning  one year after the  closing of the  Company's  initial  public  stock
offering  (which  occurred  on August 31,  1994),  certain  Units are able to be
redeemed by the  unitholders at their option on the basis of one Unit for either
one share of common  stock or cash equal to the fair market  value of a share at
the time of the  redemption.  The  Company  has the option to deliver  shares of
common  stock in exchange for all or any portion of the cash  requested.  When a
unitholder  redeems a Unit,  minority  interest  is  reduced  and the  Company's
investment in the  Operating  Partnership  is increased.  During the nine months
ended  September  30, 1996,  91,614 Units were  redeemed for common stock of the
Company.


7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Certain employees of the Operating  Partnership  provide leasing services to the
Properties and receive fees as compensation  ranging from 0.667 to 2.667 percent
of adjusted  rents.  For the three and nine month  periods  ended  September 30,
1996,  such fees,  which are capitalized  and amortized,  approximated  $225 and
$417, respectively.


 8.   SIGNIFICANT TENANT

At December 31, 1995,  Donaldson,  Lufkin, and Jenrette  Securities  Corporation
("DLJ")  leased  approximately  55  percent  of the  space in the  Company's  95
Christopher Columbus Drive, Jersey City, New Jersey property.  On April 9, 1996,
DLJ signed a lease with the  Company  for an  additional  73,200  square feet of
space ("DLJ Expansion"), increasing its occupancy to approximately 66 percent of
the property.

Total rental income from DLJ,  including  escalations  and  recoveries,  for the
three and nine month periods ending September 30, 1996 and 1995 were as follows:

     Three Months Ended                                Nine Months Ended

At September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995,  unbilled rents receivable included
$12,692 and $12,164, respectively, from DLJ.

STOCK OPTION PLAN

In 1994,  and as amended on May 13, 1996, the Company  established  the Employee
Stock  Option  Plan  ("Employee  Plan")  and  the  Director  Stock  Option  Plan
("Directors  Plan") under which a total of 1,880,188  (subject to adjustment) of
the Company's shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance  (1,780,188
shares under the Employee  Plan and 100,000  under the Director  Plan).  Options
granted under the Employee Plan  generally  become  exercisable  over a three to
five year period,  while options under the Directors Plan become  exercisable in
one year.  All options  were  granted at not less than fair market  value at the
dates of grant and have a term of ten years.
 
Information regarding the Company's stock option plans is summarized below:

On October 24, 1996 the Company  granted 125,000 stock options each to Thomas A.
Rizk, Chief Executive Office, John R. Cali, Chief  Administrative  Officer,  and
Brant Cali,  Chief  Operating  Officer at $26.25 per share,  under the Company's
Employee  Stock  Option Plan.  The options  become  exercisable  over five years
beginning December 31, 1996 and have a term of ten years.


10.   EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

All employees of the Company who meet certain  minimum age and period of service
requirements  are eligible to  participate in a Section 401(k) plan (the "Plan")
as defined by the Internal  Revenue Code. The Plan allows eligible  employees to
defer up to 15 percent of their annual compensation.  The amounts contributed by
employees  are  immediately  vested  and   non-forfeitable.   The  Company,   at
management's   discretion,   may  match  employee  contributions.   No  employer
contributions have been made to date.


11.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Pursuant  to the terms of the  Mortgage  Financing,  the  Company is required to
escrow $143 per month for tenant  improvements  and leasing  commissions and $53
per month for capital improvements.

Pursuant to an agreement  with the City of Jersey City,  New Jersey  expiring in
2009,  the  Company is  required  to make  payments  in lieu of  property  taxes
("PILOT") on its property in Jersey City. Such PILOT is determined  based on the
greater of two percent of the property  cost,  as defined,  or $1,131 per annum,
through 1999 and 2.5 percent, or $1,414 per annum, through 2004.


12.   TENANT LEASES

The  Properties  are leased to  tenants  under  operating  leases  with  various
expiration  dates  through  2011.  Substantially  all of the leases  provide for
annual base rents plus recoveries and escalation charges based upon the tenant's
proportionate  share of  and/or  increases  in real  estate  taxes  and  certain
operating costs as defined and the pass through of charges for electrical usage.


13.   STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

To maintain its  qualification  as a REIT,  not more than 50 percent in value of
the outstanding shares of the Company may be owned,  directly or indirectly,  by
five or fewer  individuals  (defined  to  include  certain  entities),  applying
certain  constructive  ownership rules. To help ensure that the Company will not
fail this test, the Company's Articles of Incorporation provide for, among other
things,  certain  restrictions  on the  transfer of the common  stock to prevent
further concentration of stock ownership.  Moreover, to evidence compliance with
these  requirements,  the Company must maintain records that disclose the actual
ownership of its  outstanding  common stock and will demand  written  statements
each year from the  holders of record of  designated  percentages  of its common
stock requesting the disclosure of the beneficial owners of such common stock.

On March 7, 1995,  the Board of Directors  authorized the Company to purchase up
to 100,000  shares of its  outstanding  common stock so that the total number of
shares and Units may be reduced to approximately  13,300,000.  On March 8, 1995,
the  Company  purchased,  for  constructive  retirement,  100,000  shares of its
outstanding  common stock for $1,595.  The excess of the purchase price over par
value was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. Concurrent with
this purchase,  the Company sold to the Operating  Partnership 100,000 Units for
$1,595.

On November 6, 1995, the Company completed a second public offering of 4,000,000
shares of its  common  stock at $19.50 per share (the  "Second  Offering").  Net
proceeds to the Company  after the  underwriting  discounts  and other  offering
costs were  approximately  $72,512  which was used along with funds drawn on the
Initial Credit Facility to acquire certain properties. Additionally, on November
17, 1995,  pursuant to an  over-allotment  option granted to the underwriters of
the Second  Offering,  the Company  issued an additional  600,000  shares of its
common stock at $19.50 per share. Net proceeds to the Company after underwriting
discounts totaled approximately $11,082, which was used to repay an equal amount
of  indebtedness on the Initial Credit  Facility.  The $89,700 in total proceeds
from the Second  Offering and  over-allotment  option were  obtained from shares
issued off of the Company's  $250,000  shelf  registration  statement ( File No.
33-96538).

On May 13, 1996, the stockholders  approved an increase in the authorized shares
of common stock in the Company from 25,000,000 to 95,000,000.

On July 29, 1996,  the Company filed a shelf  registration  statement  (File No.
333-09081) with the Securities and Exchanges Commission ("SEC") for an aggregate
amount of  $500,000  in  equity  securities  of the  Company.  The  registration
statement was declared effective by the SEC on August 2, 1996.

On August 13,  1996,  the  Company  sold  3,450,000  shares of its common  stock
through a public stock offering (the "Offering"),  which included an exercise of
the underwriter's over-allotment option of 450,000 shares. Net proceeds from the
Offering  (after  offering costs) was  approximately  $76,830.  The Offering was
conducted  using one underwriter and the shares were issued off of the Company's
$250,000 shelf registration statement (File No. 33-96538).

Pursuant  to  the  Company's  Registration  Statement  on  Form  S-3  (File  No.
333-09081),  on October 30, 1996 the Company  commenced an  underwritten  public
offering  and sale of  10,000,000  shares  of its  common  stock  using  several
different  underwriters  to underwrite  such public offer and sale.  The Company
expects to receive approximately $251,500 in net proceeds from the offering, and
plans to use such funds to acquire the Proposed  Acquisitions  mentioned earlier
as well as pay down outstanding borrowings on its revolving credit facilities.

                    CALI REALTY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 
                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following  discussion  should be read in conjunction  with the  Consolidated
Financial Statements of Cali Realty Corporation and the notes thereto.

The following  comparisons  for the three and nine month periods ended September
30,  1996  ("1996"),  as  compared  to the three and nine  month  periods  ended
September 30, 1995 ("1995") make reference to the  following:  (i) the effect of
the  "Pre-Acquisition  Properties," which represents all properties owned by the
Company at June 30, 1995 (for the three-month  periods  comparisons),  and which
represents  all  properties  owned by the Company at December  31, 1994 (for the
nine-month periods comparisons),  (ii) the effect of the "Acquired  Properties,"
which represents all properties  acquired by the Company since July 1, 1995 (for
the  three-month  periods  comparisons),  and which  represents  all  properties
acquired  since January 1, 1995 (for the  nine-month  period  comparisons),  and
(iii) the effect of the  "Disposition,"  which refers to the  Company's  sale of
Essex  Road on March  20,  1996  (for  both the  three  and nine  month  periods
comparisons).

               Three Months Ended September 30, 1996 Compared to
                     Three Months Ended September 30, 1995

Total  revenues  increased $6.7 million,  or 42.7 percent,  for the three months
ended September 30, 1996 over 1995.  Base rents increased $5.4 million,  or 41.8
percent, of which an increase of $5.6 million, or 42.9 percent, was attributable
to the Acquired Properties,  and an increase of $0.1 million, or 1.3 percent, to
occupancy  changes at the Pre- Acquisition  Properties,  offset by a decrease of
$0.3 million,  or 2.4 percent,  as a result of the Disposition.  Escalations and
recoveries increased $1.0 million, or 41.0 percent, of which an increase of $0.9
million, or 36.2 percent,  was attributable to the Acquired  Properties,  and an
increase  of $0.2  million,  or 6.1  percent,  due to  occupancy  changes at the
Pre-Acquisition  Properties,  offset  by a  decrease  of  $0.1  million,  or 1.3
percent, as a result of the Disposition.

Total  expenses for the three months ended  September  30, 1996  increased  $3.3
million,  or 28.3 percent,  as compared to the same period in 1995.  Real estate
taxes increased $0.7 million, or 47.5 percent,  for 1996 over 1995 substantially
attributable  to  the  Acquired  Properties.  Additionally,  operating  services
increased $0.5 million,  or 26.0 percent,  and utilities increased $0.4 million,
or 22.5 percent for 1996 over 1995. The aggregate increase in operating services
and utilities of $0.9 million,  or 24.3  percent,  consists of $1.2 million,  or
30.8 percent,  attributable to the Acquired Properties,  offset by a decrease of
$0.2 million, or 3.6 percent, as a result of the Disposition,  and a decrease of
$0.1 million, or 2.9 percent,  attributable to the  Pre-Acquisition  Properties.
General and administrative  expenses increased $0.5 million, or 60.2 percent, of
which $0.2 million or 22.5 percent, is attributable to additional costs relating
to the Acquired Properties and $0.3 million,  or 37.7 percent,  due primarily to
an increase in payroll and related costs as a result of the Company's  expansion
in 1996.  Depreciation and amortization increased $0.7 million, or 24.5 percent,
for  1996  over  1995,  of which  $0.9  million,  or 30.6  percent,  relates  to
depreciation on the Acquired Properties, offset by decreases of $0.1 million, or
3.4 percent,  for amortization of deferred financing costs due to a reduction in
debt outstanding on the  Pre-Acquisition  Properties,  and $0.1 million,  or 2.7
percent, of a reduction in depreciation as a result of the Disposition. Interest
expense increased by $0.4 million, or 15.9 percent, primarily due to an increase
in indebtedness  resulting from drawings on the Company's  credit  facilities in
connection with property acquisitions.

Income before minority interest and extraordinary item increased to $7.6 million
in 1996 from $4.2  million in 1995.  The increase of $3.4 million was due to the
factors discussed above.

Net income  increased $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996
from $3.3 million in 1995 to $6.6  million in 1996,  as a result of the increase
in income before minority  interest and  extraordinary  item of $3.4 million and
offset by the decrease in minority interest of $0.1 million.


                Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 Compared to
                      Nine Months Ended September 30, 1995

Total revenues  increased  $18.3 million,  or 40.8 percent,  for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 over 1995. Base rents increased $15.3 million,  or 41.9
percent,  of  which  an  increase  of  $13.5  million,  or  36.9  percent,   was
attributable to the Acquired Properties, and an increase of $2.7 million, or 7.5
percent,  as a result of occupancy  changes at the  Pre-Acquisition  Properties,
offset  by a  decrease  of $0.9  million,  or 2.5  percent,  as a result  of the
Disposition. Escalations and recoveries increased $2.7 million, or 38.7 percent,
of which an increase of $2.3 million,  or 32.3 percent,  was attributable to the
Acquired  Properties,  and $0.5  million,  or 7.6  percent,  as a result  of the
occupancy  changes at the  Pre-Acquisition  Properties,  offset by a decrease of
$0.1 million, or 1.2 percent, due to the Disposition.

Total  expenses  for the nine months ended  September  30, 1996  increased  $9.9
million,  or 30.4 percent,  as compared to the same period in 1995.  Real estate
taxes increased $2.1 million, or 49.8 percent,  for 1996 over 1995 of which $1.8
million, or 42.4 percent, was as a result of the Acquired  Properties,  and $0.4
million, or 10.3 percent, related to the Pre-Acquisition Properties, offset by a
decrease $0.1 million,  or 2.9 percent,  due to the  Disposition.  Additionally,
operating  services  increased  $2.0  million,  or 34.6  percent,  and utilities
increased  $1.3 million,  or 28.3 percent.  The aggregate  increase in operating
services  and  utilities  of $3.4  million,  or 31.8  percent,  consists of $2.9
million, or 27.1 percent, attributable to the Acquired Properties, $0.7 million,
or 7.1 percent, at the  Pre-Acquisition  Properties which was due primarily to a
harsher winter in 1996, offset by a decrease of $0.2 million, or 2.4 percent, as
a result of the Disposition.  General and administrative expenses increased $0.6
million,  or 22.9 percent,  of which $0.2 million, or 8.7 percent, is additional
costs relating to the Acquired Properties and $0.4 million, or 14.2 percent, due
primarily  to an  increase  in  payroll  and  related  costs as a result  of the
Company's  expansion  in 1996.  Depreciation  and  amortization  increased  $1.7
million,  or 19.2 percent,  for 1996 over 1995,  of which $2.3 million,  or 25.5
percent, related to depreciation on the Acquired Properties, offset by decreases
of $0.4 million,  or 4.4 percent,  for amortization of deferred  financing costs
due to reduction in debt outstanding on the Pre-Acquisition Properties, and $0.2
million,  or 1.9  percent,  as a result  of the  Disposition.  Interest  expense
increased by $2.1  million,  or 34.5  percent,  primarily  due to an increase in
indebtedness  resulting  from  drawings on the  Company's  credit  facilities in
connection with property acquisitions.

Income  before  minority  interest  and  extraordinary  item  increased to $26.1
million in 1996 from $12.1  million in 1995.  The increase of $14.0  million was
due to the gain on sale of rental property (the  Disposition) of $5.7 million in
1996, as well as due to the factors discussed above.

     Net income  increased $12.3 million for the nine months ended September 30,
     1996 from $9.5 million in 1995, to $21.8 million in 1996, as a result of an
     increase in income before minority interest and extraordinary item of $14.0
     million, offset by the  increase in minority  interest of $1.2  million and
     recognition in 1996 of an  extraordinary  loss for the early  retirement of
     debt of $0.5 million (net of minority interest's share of $0.1 million).


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Statement of Cash Flows

     During the nine months  ended  September  30, 1996,  the Company  generated
     $19.2 million in cash flow from operating  activities,  and,  together with
     $76.8 million from the Offering, $10.3 million of proceeds from the sale of
     a  rental  property,  and $0.3  million  of  proceeds  from  stock  options
     exercised,  and funds from escrow cash  balances  relating to the  Mortgage

     connection with the leasing of 62,275 square feet to Berlitz  International

Capitalization

On November 6, 1995, the Company completed a second public offering of 4,000,000
shares of its  common  stock at $19.50 per share (the  "Second  Offering").  Net
proceeds to the Company  after the  underwriting  discounts  and other  offering
costs were approximately  $72.5 million which was used along with funds drawn on
the Initial Credit  Facility to acquire  certain  properties.  Additionally,  on
November  17,  1995,  pursuant  to  an  over-allotment  option  granted  to  the
underwriters of the Second  Offering,  the Company issued an additional  600,000
shares of its common  stock at $19.50 per share.  Net  proceeds  to the  Company
after underwriting discounts totaled approximately $11.1 million, which was used
to repay an equal amount of  indebtedness  on the Initial Credit  Facility.  The
$89.7  million in total  proceeds  from the Second  Offering and  over-allotment
option were  obtained  off of the  Company's  $250  million  shelf  registration
statement (File No. 33-96538).

On February 1, 1996, the Company obtained from two  participating  banks the $75
million  Additional  Credit  Facility.  The  Additional  Credit  Facility  bears
interest at a floating rate equal to 150 basis points over LIBOR. The Additional
Credit Facility is also subject to certain  financial  covenants,  including the
ratio of earnings before interest,  taxes, depreciation and amortization to debt
service, minimum net worth and debt-to-market  capitalization.  In addition, the
Additional Credit Facility  restricts  distributions by the Company in excess of
100 percent of Funds from  Operations for three  successive  quarters,  provided
that the Company retains the right to make  distributions  necessary to maintain
its  status as a REIT.  The  Additional  Credit  Facility  is secured by a first
mortgage lien on certain of the Company's properties. Additional Credit Facility
borrowings  are recourse to the  Operating  Partnership  and  guaranteed  by the
Company.

On May 24, 1995, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a
commercial bank. The swap agreement fixes the Company's  one-month LIBOR base to
a fixed 6.285 percent per annum on a notional  amount of $24,000  through August
1999.

In addition,  on January 23, 1996,  the Company  entered into a second  interest
rate swap agreement with one of the participating banks in its Additional Credit
Facility.  This swap  agreement has a three-year  term and a notional  amount of
$26,000 which fixes the Company's  one-month  LIBOR base at 5.265 percent on its
floating rate credit facilities.

On March 20, 1996, the Company sold its office building located at 15 Essex Road
in Paramus, New Jersey ("Essex Road") and concurrently  acquired a 95,000 square
foot office  building  at 103  Carnegie  Center in  Princeton,  New Jersey.  The
concurrent  transactions  qualified as a tax free exchange,  as the Company used
substantially  all of the  proceeds  from the sale of Essex Road to acquire  the
Princeton property. The financial statements for the nine months ended September
30, 1996 include a gain of $5,658 relating to this transaction.

On May 2, 1996, the Company acquired Rose Tree Corporate  Center, a two-building
suburban office complex totaling  approximately  260,000 square feet, located in
Media,  Pennsylvania.  The complex was acquired for approximately $28.1 million,
which was drawn on the Initial Credit Facility.

Additionally,  on July 23,  1996,  the Company  acquired  222 and 233 Mount Airy
Road, two suburban office buildings totaling  approximately  115,000 square feet
located  in  Basking  Ridge,  New  Jersey.   The  buildings  were  acquired  for
approximately  $10.5  million,  which was drawn on one of the  Company's  credit
facilities.

On July 29, 1996,  the Company filed a shelf  registration  statement  (File No.
333-09081) with the Securities and Exchanges Commission ("SEC") for an aggregate
amount of $500 million in equity  securities  of the Company.  The  registration
statement was declared effective by the SEC on August 2, 1996.

On August 13,  1996,  the  Company  sold  3,450,000  shares of its common  stock
through a public stock offering (the "Offering"),  which included an exercise of
the underwriter's over-allotment option of 450,000 shares. Net proceeds from the
Offering (after offering costs) was approximately $76,830,000.  The Offering was
conducted  using one  underwriter  and the shares were issued from the Company's
Registration Statement on S-3 (File No. 33-96538).

On November 4, 1996, the Company  acquired the Harborside  Financial  Center,  a
three- building office complex totaling  approximately  1,887,000 square feet of
office and retail space,  located on the Hudson River waterfront in Jersey City,
New Jersey (the  "Harborside").  As part of the purchase,  the Company  acquired
11.3 acres of land  fully-zoned  and  permittted  for an additional  4.1 million
square feet of development  and the water rights  associated  with 27.4 acres of
land extending into the Hudson River immediately east of the existing  property,
including  two  piers  with an area  of 5.8  acres.  The  acquisition  cost  for
Harborside of  approximately  $287.4  million was financed with mortgage debt of
$150 million and with cash of $137.4 million,  which was made available  through
the  Company's  revolving  credit  facilities  (including a new credit  facility
described  below).  The  terms  of the  acquisition  of the  vacant  parcels  at
Harborside provided for additional payments (with an estimated net present value
of approximately  $5.3 million) to be made to the seller for development  rights
if and when the  Company  commences  construction  on the site  during  the next
several years. However, the agreement provides, among other things, that even if
the Company does not commence construction,  the seller may nevertheless require
the Company to acquire these rights during the six-month period after the end of
the  sixth  year.  After  such  period,  the  seller's  option  lapses,  but any
development  in years 7 through  30 will  require a  payment,  on an  increasing
scale, for the development rights.

In connection  with the  acquistion of  Harborside,  the Company  obtained a new
revolving  credit facility ("New Credit  Facility")  from Prudential  Securities
Credit  Corp.  ("PSC")  totaling $80 million  which bears  interest at 125 basis
points over one-month LIBOR, and matures on January 15, 1998, unless the Company
or PSC elect to extend the maturity  date to not earlier than June 30, 1998,  or
the  facility  is  refinanced  prior to such date at the  election of either the
Company or PSC. PSC has full  recourse to the assets of the Company with respect
to outstanding  borrowings under the New Credit Facility.  In addition,  the New
Credit Facility is secured by the Company's  equity interest in Harborside.  The
terms of the New Credit Facility include certain restrictions and covenants that
limit,  among other things,  dividend  payments and additional  indebtedness and
that require  compliance  with specified  financial  ratios and other  financial
measurements. On November 4, 1996, the Company drew all $80 million from the New
Credit Facility in connection with the acquisition of Harborside.

In addition,  on November 4, 1996,  the Company  assumed  existing  debt and was
provided  seller-mortgage  debt aggregating $150,000 (as more fully described in
the Harborside discussion in Note 1).

The Company also intends to acquire through three individual  transactions  with
separate,  unrelated  sellers a  three-building  office complex,  a two-building
office  complex and an individual  building (the "Proposed  Acquisitions").  The
total aggregate acquisition cost of the Proposed Acquisitions is estimated to be
approximately $90.6 million.

Pursuant  to  the  Company's  Registration  Statement  on  Form  S-3  (File  No.
333-09081),  the Company has commenced an underwritten  public offering and sale
of 10,000,000 shares of its common stock using several different underwriters to
underwrite   such  public  offer  and  sale.  The  Company  expects  to  receive
approximately  $251.5  million in net proceeds from the Proposed  Offering,  and
plans to use such funds to acquire the properties  mentioned  earlier as well as
pay down outstanding borrowings on its revolving credit facilities.

If the  Proposed  Offering  does not  occur,  the  Company  intends  to fund any
projected  shortfall in funds  available to acquire the Proposed  Acquisition by
accessing  one of a number of lending  sources with which the Company  currently
has  relationships.  Such  lending may be secured by liens on one or more of the
Company's  currently  unencumbered  properties.  While there can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to obtain such additional  financing,  the Company
is  reasonably  confident  that  it  will  be  able  to do so.  If it  were  not
successful,  the Company  would  likely  elect not to acquire one or more of the
Proposed Acquistions.

Historically,  rental  revenue  has been the  principal  source  of funds to pay
operating   expenses,   debt   service  and  capital   expenditures,   excluding
non-recurring  capital  expenditures.  Management believes that the Company will
have  access to the  capital  resources  necessary  to expand  and  develop  its
business.  To the extent that the Company's cash flow from operating  activities
is  insufficient  to finance  its  non-recurring  capital  expenditures  such as
property acquisition costs and other capital  expenditures,  the Company expects
to finance  such  activities  through the credit  facilities  and other debt and
equity financing.
 
The  Company  presently  has no plans  for  major  capital  improvements  to the
existing properties,  other than normal recurring  expenditures.  The Company is
currently  constructing  two  office/flex  buildings  aggregating  approximately
47,000 square feet of space at its Commercenter complex,  located in Totowa, New
Jersey. As of September 30, 1996, the Company has incurred $1.9 million of costs
out of a total of $3.1 million anticipated to be incurred in connection with the
construction project.

The Company  expects to meet its  short-term  liquidity  requirements  generally
through its working capital and net cash provided by operating  activities along
with the Initial Credit Facility and Additional Credit Facility.  The Company is
frequently examining potential property acquisitions and, at any one given time,
one or more of such acquisitions may be under consideration.  Accordingly, being
able to fund property  acquisitions  is a major part of the Company's  financing
requirements.  The Company  expects to meet its financing  requirements  through
funds  generated from operating  activities,  long-term or short-term borrowings
(including draws on the Company's credit  facilities),  and the issuance of debt
securities or additional equity securities. In addition, the Company anticipates
utilizing the Initial Credit Facility and Additional  Credit Facility  primarily
to fund property acquisition activities.
 
The Company  does not intend to reserve  funds to retire the  existing  Mortgage
Financing, indebtedness under the credit facilities or other mortgages and loans
payable upon maturity.  Instead, the Company will seek to refinance such debt at
maturity  or  retire  such  debt  through  the  issuance  of  additional  equity
securities. The Company anticipates that its available cash and cash equivalents
and cash flows from  operating  activities,  together with cash  available  from
borrowings and other sources, will be adequate to meet the Company's capital and
liquidity  needs both in the short and long-term.  However,  if these sources of
funds  are  insufficient  or  unavailable,  the  Company's  ability  to make the
expected distributions discussed below may be adversely affected.

To maintain its  qualification  as a real estate  investment  trust, the Company
must make annual distributions to its stockholders of at least 95 percent of its
REIT taxable  income,  excluding  the dividends  paid  deduction and net capital
gains.  Moreover,  the Company  intends to continue  to make  regular  quarterly
distributions  to its  stockholders  which,  based upon current  policy,  in the
aggregate would equal approximately  $33.8 million on an annual basis.  However,
any such  distribution,  whether for federal  income tax purposes or  otherwise,
would  only  be  paid  out  of  available  cash  after  meeting  both  operating
requirements  and  scheduled  debt  service on mortgages  and loans  payable and
required annual capital expenditure reserves pursuant to its mortgage indenture.

Funds from Operations

The  Company   considers  Funds  from  Operations   after   adjustment  for  the
straight-lining of rents one measure of REIT performance.  Funds from Operations
is  defined  as net income  (loss)  before  minority  interest  of  unitholders,
computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,  excluding
gains (or  losses)  from debt  restructuring  and sales of  property,  plus real
estate-related  depreciation and amortization.  Funds from Operations should not
be considered as an  alternative to net income as an indication of the Company's
performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.
 
Funds from  Operations for the three and nine month periods ended  September 30,
1996 and 1995, as calculated in accordance with the National Association of Real
Estate Investment  Trusts definition  published in March 1995, are summarized in
the following table (in thousands):

Inflation

The Company's leases with the majority of its tenants provide for recoveries and
escalation  charges  based  upon the  tenant's  proportionate  share  of  and/or
increases in real estate  taxes and certain  operating  costs,  which reduce the
Company's exposure to increases in operating costs resulting from inflation.
