VORNADO REALTY TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION
Vornado Realty Trust is a fully-integrated real estate investment trust
("REIT"). In April 1997, Vornado transferred substantially all of its assets to
Vornado Realty L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Operating
Partnership"). As a result, Vornado now conducts its business through the
Operating Partnership. Vornado is the sole general partner of, and owned
approximately 85% of the common limited partnership interest in, the Operating
Partnership at April 23, 1999. All references to the "Company" and "Vornado"
refer to Vornado Realty Trust and its consolidated subsidiaries, including the
Operating Partnership.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1999, the consolidated
statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and March 31,
1998 and the consolidated statements of changes in cash flows for the three
months ended March 31, 1999 and March 31, 1998 are unaudited. In the opinion of
management, 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 generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.
These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes thereto included in Vornado's 1998
consolidated financial statements included in its Form 10-K as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the three
months ended March 31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the operating
results for the full year.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Vornado Realty Trust and its majority-owned subsidiary, Vornado Realty L.P., as
well as interests acquired that individually (or in the aggregate with prior
interests) exceed a 50% interest and the Company exercises unilateral control.
All significant intercompany amounts have been eliminated. Equity interests in
partially-owned entities include partnerships, joint ventures and preferred
stock affiliates (corporations in which the Company owns all of the preferred
stock and none of the common equity) and are accounted for under the equity
method of accounting as the Company exercises significant influence. These
investments are recorded initially at cost and subsequently adjusted for net
equity in income (loss) and cash contributions and distributions. Ownership of
the preferred stock entitles the Company to substantially all of the economic
benefits in the preferred stock affiliates. The common stock of the preferred
stock affiliates is owned by Officers and Trustees of Vornado.
Management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of 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.
Certain amounts in the prior year's financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
3. ACQUISITIONS AND FINANCINGS
ACQUISITIONS
888 Seventh Avenue
In January 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of 888 Seventh
Avenue, a 46 story Manhattan office building for approximately $100,000,000.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Charles E. Smith Commercial Realty L.P. ("CESCR")
In March 1999, the Company made an additional $242,000,000 investment in
CESCR by contributing to CESCR the land under certain CESCR office properties in
Crystal City, Arlington, Virginia and partnership interests in certain CESCR
subsidiaries. The Company acquired these assets from Commonwealth Atlantic
Properties, Inc. ("CAPI"), an affiliate of Lazard Freres Real Estate Investors
L.L.C., immediately prior to the contribution to CESCR. Together with the
Company's investment in CESCR made in 1997 and the units it reacquired in March
1999 from Vornado Operating Company, the Company owned approximately 34% of
CESCR's limited partnership units as of March 31, 1999. In addition, the Company
acquired from CAPI for $8,000,000 the land under a Marriott Hotel located in
Crystal City.
The purchase price was paid to CAPI by the Company issuing $250,000,000 of
6% Convertible Preferred Units of the Company's Operating Partnership. The
Preferred Units are convertible at $44 per unit and the coupon increases to
6.50% over the next three years and then fixes at 6.75% in year eight. The
Company will appoint one of three members to CESCR's Board of Managers,
increasing under certain circumstances to two of four members in March 2002.
In connection with these transactions, the Company made a five-year
$41,000,000 loan to CAPI with interest at 8%, increasing to 9% ratably over the
term. The loan is secured by approximately $55,000,000 of the Operating
Partnership's units issued to CAPI as well as certain real estate assets.
FINANCINGS
Two Penn Plaza Refinancing
In February 1999, the Company completed a $165,000,000 refinancing of its
Two Penn Plaza office building and prepaid the then existing $80,000,000 debt on
the property. The new 5-year debt matures in February 2004 and bears interest at
7.08%.

Offering of Preferred Shares
In March 1999, the Company completed the sale of 3 million 8.5% Series B
Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, at a price of $25.00 per share, pursuant
to an effective registration statement with net proceeds to the Company of
approximately $72,200,000. Additionally in March 1999, 400,000 shares were sold

additional net proceeds to the Company of $9,700,000. The perpetual preferred
shares may be called without penalty at the option of the Company commencing on
March 17, 2004.

The pro forma condensed consolidated operating results for Vornado for the

Alexander's
The Company owns 29.3% of the outstanding shares of common stock of
Alexander's. In March 1995, the Company lent Alexander's $45,000,000. The loan,
which was originally scheduled to mature in March 1998, has been renewed for two
additional one year periods and currently matures in March 2000. The interest
rate was reset in March 1999 from 13.87% per annum to 14.18% per annum.
Alexander's is managed by and its properties are leased by the Company,
pursuant to agreements with a one-year term expiring in March of each year which
are automatically renewable. Subject to the payments of rents by Alexander's
tenants, the Company is due $3,445,000 under its leasing agreement with
Alexander's which amount is included in Investments in and Advances to
Alexander's. Included in income from Vornado Management Corp. is management fee
income for Alexander's of $954,000 and $938,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Cold Storage Companies
In March 1999, the partnerships in which affiliates of the Company have a
60% interest and affiliates of Crescent Real Estate Equities Company have a 40%
interest ("Vornado/Crescent Partnerships") sold all of the non-real estate
assets of the Cold Storage Companies encompassing the operations of the cold
storage business for approximately $48,000,000 to a new partnership owned 60% by
Vornado Operating Company and 40% by Crescent Operating Inc. The new partnership
leases the underlying cold storage warehouses used in this business from the
Vornado/Crescent Partnerships which continue to own the real estate. The leases
have a 15 year term with two-five year renewal options and provide for the
payment of fixed base rent and percentage rent based on customer revenues. The
new partnership is required to pay for all costs arising from the operation,
maintenance and repair of the properties, as well as property capital
expenditures in excess of $5,000,000 annually. Fixed base rent and percentage
rent for the initial lease year is projected to be approximately $151,000,000.
The new partnership has the right to defer a portion of the rent for up to three
years beginning in March 1999 to the extent that available cash, as defined in
the leases, is insufficient to pay such rent.
In connection with the sale of the Cold Storage non-real estate assets,
the Company lent $18,587,000 to Vornado Operating pursuant to a $75,000,000
unsecured five-year revolving credit facility. Borrowing under the facility
bears interest at LIBOR plus 3% (currently 8.01%).
5. OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Interstate Properties pursuant to a management agreement. For the three months
ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, $270,000 and $198,000 of management fees were
earned by the Company pursuant to the management agreement.

Funds from operations was $65,387 in the three months ended March 31, 1999,
compared to $44,612 in the prior year's quarter, an increase of $20,775. The
following table reconciles funds from operations and net income:

The number of shares that should be used for determining funds from
operations per share is the number used for diluted earnings per share. (See
Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).
Funds from operations does not represent cash generated from operating
activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is
not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs, which is
disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the applicable
periods. There are no material legal or functional restrictions on the use of
funds from operations. Funds from operations should not be considered as an
alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company's operating performance
or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Management
considers funds from operations a supplemental measure of operating performance
and along with cash flow from operating activities, financing activities and
investing activities, it provides investors with an indication of the ability of
the Company to incur and service debt, to make capital expenditures and to fund
other cash needs. Funds from operations may not be comparable to similarly
titled measures reported by other REITs since a number of REITs, including the
Company, calculate funds from operations in a manner different from that used by
the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"). Funds from
operations, as defined by NAREIT, represents net income applicable to common
shares before depreciation and amortization, extraordinary items and gains or
losses on sales of real estate. Funds from operations as disclosed above has
been modified to adjust for the effect of straight-lining of property rentals
for rent escalations and leasing fee income. Below are the cash flows provided
by (used in) operating, investing and financing activities:
For the Three Months Ended March 31,

Financings
In February 1999, the Company completed a $165,000 refinancing of its Two
Penn Plaza office building and prepaid the then existing $80,000 debt on the
property. The new 5-year debt matures in February 2004 and bears interest at
7.08%.
In February 1999, the Company also exercised its option to extend the
maturity date on the $250,000 loan on its Chicago Merchandise Mart building from
March 31, 1999 to September 30, 1999. In connection therewith, the Company paid
a fee of 1/8%.
In March, 1999, the Vornado/Crescent Partnerships sold all of the non-real
estate assets of the Cold Storage Companies encompassing the operations of the
cold storage business for approximately $48,000 to a new partnership owned 60%
by Vornado Operating Company and 40% by Crescent Operating Inc.
In March 1999, the Company completed the sale of 3 million 8.5% Series B
Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, at a price of $25.00 per share, pursuant
to an effective registration statement with net proceeds to the Company of
approximately $72,200. Further in March 1999, 400,000 shares were sold when the
underwriters exercised their over-allotment option resulting in additional net
proceeds to the Company of $9,700. The perpetual preferred shares may be called
without penalty at the option of the Company commencing on March 17, 2004.
The Company anticipates that cash from continuing operations will be
adequate to fund business operations and the payment of dividends and
distributions on an on-going basis for more than the next twelve months;
however, capital outlays for significant acquisitions will require funding from
borrowings or equity offerings.
Year 2000 Issues
Year 2000 compliance programs and information systems modification were
initiated by the Company in early 1998 to address the risk posed by the year
2000 issue. The Company developed a plan to address their affected informational
(accounting, billing, payroll) and operational (refrigeration, HVAC, security,
elevators, lighting, energy management) systems. The Company's plan also
considers statements from outside vendors as to their year 2000 readiness.
The Company and its partially-owned entities have completed their initial
assessment, inventory and planning phases of their plan and have determined that
the majority of their systems, including all mission critical systems are
already year 2000 compliant. The Company anticipates that any issues encountered
with informational or operational systems will be remediated. The Company
expects that where appropriate, all mission critical systems will be tested by
June 30, 1999. The cost of the Company's year 2000 plan is not expected to be
material to 1999 operations.
The Company believes that its exposure may be the failure of third parties
(i.e., energy providers) in meeting their commitments which may result in
temporary business interruption at the Company's buildings, retail centers, mart
properties, cold storage warehouses and other real estate related properties.
The Company has contingency plans for its own day to day informational and
operational systems and is in the process of updating these plans. Failure of
third parties with which the Company conducts business to successfully respond
to their year 2000 issues may have an adverse effect on the Company.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities". This statement establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It is effective for all
fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. Because the
Company does not currently utilize derivatives or engage in significant hedging
activities, management does not anticipate that implementation of this statement
will have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

In April, 1998 the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
issued Statement of Position 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-up
Activities" ("SOP 98-5), which is effective for the Company in the first quarter
of 1999. The Company has no deferred organization costs or other deferred
start-up costs as defined in SOP 98-5, and therefore adoption of SOP 98-5 had no
impact in the first quarter of 1999.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS
At March 31, 1999, the Company had $1,486,138,000 of variable rate debt at
a weighted average interest rate of 6.32% and $620,899,000 of fixed rate debt
bearing interest at a weighted average interest rate of 7.01%. A one-percent
increase in the base used to determine the interest rate of the variable rate
debt would result in a $14,861,000 decrease in the Company's annual net income
($.17 per diluted share).

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is from time to time involved in legal actions arising in the
ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management, after

material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of
operations or cash flows.
