                    Forest City Reports Fiscal 2008 Full-Year
                           and Fourth-Quarter Results

CLEVELAND - March 30, 2009 - Forest City Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE: FCEA and FCEB)
today announced EBDT, net earnings and revenues for the fourth quarter and full
year ended January 31, 2009.

EBDT

EBDT (Earnings Before Depreciation, Amortization and Deferred Taxes) for the
full year ended January 31, 2009, was $218.9 million, or $2.05 per share, a 17.0
percent decrease on a per-share basis compared with last year's $265.7 million,
or $2.47 per share. EBDT for the fourth quarter was $70.5 million, or $0.66 per
share, a 22.4 percent decrease on a per-share basis compared with last year's
fourth-quarter EBDT of $91.2 million, or $0.85 per share. For an explanation of
the variances, see the section titled "Review and Discussion of Results" in this
news release.

EBDT and EBDT per share are non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principle (GAAP)
measures. A reconciliation of net earnings (the most directly comparable GAAP
measure to EBDT) to EBDT is provided in the Financial Highlights table in this
news release.

Net Earnings/Loss

The net loss for the full year was $112.2 million, or $1.09 per share, compared
with net earnings of $52.4 million, or $0.51 per share, in 2007. The net loss
for the fourth quarter was $45.1 million, or $0.44 per share, compared with net
earnings of $12.6 million, or $0.12 per share, in the prior year. In addition to
the factors described in "Review and Discussion of Results," the net earnings
variance was impacted by lower gain on disposition of consolidated and
unconsolidated properties of $62.1 million (after tax) in 2008 compared with the
prior year.


                                       1


Revenues

Revenues for the year ended January 31, 2009, were $1.29 billion, a 0.3 percent
increase compared with prior year revenues. Fourth-quarter consolidated revenues
were $323.0 million compared with $404.4 million last year. The revenue variance
in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 compared with the fourth quarter of the
prior year is primarily attributable to decreased land sales.

Liquidity

At January 31, 2009, the Company had more than $500 million in cash and credit
available, including $181.6 million in cash and $318.6 million of available
borrowings on the Company's revolving line of credit.

Review and Discussion of Results

Fourth-Quarter EBDT

In the fourth quarter, total EBDT for the Company was $70.5 million.

Pre-tax EBDT from the Company's Commercial and Residential segments decreased by
$4.0 million compared with the fourth quarter of 2007. The portfolio of rental
properties improved primarily from lower interest expense as a result of lower
interest rates, while net operating income (NOI) was relatively flat due to the
weakened economy in the fourth quarter. This improvement in the portfolio was
offset by a decrease of $11.0 million related to the change in the fair market
value of one of our 10-year forward swaps and a related interest rate floor.

Additionally, EBDT in the Company's Land segment decreased $21.9 million
(pre-tax), the company reported a larger share ($3.3 million pre-tax) of losses
for the Nets basketball team compared with the prior year, and corporate
activities were impacted by a severance charge of $8.7 million pre-tax. EBDT was
favorably impacted by a larger tax benefit ($17.5 million) in the quarter
compared with the fourth quarter of 2007.

Full-year EBDT

(An exhibit illustrating factors impacting the Company's full-year 2008 EBDT
results is available on the investor relations page of the Company's website,
www.forestcity.net.) For the year, total EBDT for the Company was $218.9
million.

Pre-tax EBDT in the Company's combined Commercial and Residential segments
decreased $7.6 million compared with the prior year. In these segments,
full-year pre-tax EBDT from the operating portfolio increased $50.4 million, as
both mature and new properties experienced EBDT growth from increased NOI and
decreased interest expense. This increase in the portfolio was favorably
impacted by increases of $18.3 million from Military Housing, $13.8 million of
lower interest expense on our mature portfolio, and $12.2 million from lease
termination fee income.

                                       2


Unfavorable factors impacting full-year pre-tax EBDT for these segments included
decreases of $9.2 million related to the change in the fair market value of one
of our 10-year forward swaps and a related interest rate floor, a 2007 gain on
the sale of the Sterling Glen of Roslyn assisted-living development project of
$17.8 million which did not recur in 2008, and increased development project
write-offs of $30.9 million. EBDT in the company's Land segment decreased $35.1
million pre-tax compared to 2007 and was unfavorably impacted by the
third-quarter charge of $12.4 million pre-tax related to an uncollectable
obligation from Lehman Brothers, Inc.

Additionally, total EBDT was impacted by the previously mentioned fourth-quarter
pre-tax severance charge of $8.7 million, reporting a larger share ($20.1
million pre-tax) of losses for the Nets basketball team compared with the prior
year, and by a larger tax benefit of $16.3 million.

The increased loss from the Nets stems from the Company advancing capital to
fund the team's operating losses on behalf of both itself and certain
non-funding partners. While these advances receive preferential capital
treatment, Forest City reports losses, including significant non-cash losses
resulting from amortization, in excess of its 23 percent legal ownership. The
overall operating loss for the team is comparable to the prior year.

Commentary

Charles A. Ratner, Forest City president and chief executive officer, commented
on both the full-year and fourth-quarter results.

"As we have stated previously, our leadership is clearly focused on liquidity as
the highest priority for the Company, given current economic and financial
market conditions. We ended fiscal 2008 with more than $500 million in cash and
credit available. During the year, we addressed all of our approximately $842
million ($900 million at the Company's pro-rata share) of 2008 loan maturities,
with the exception of $13 million ($20 million at the Company's pro-rata share)
in loans still in negotiation with lenders. In addition, we have already made
progress on addressing 2009 maturities.

"Turning to our operating results, our portfolio of commercial and residential
rental properties continues to demonstrate that this base of high-quality assets
in good markets is a source of significant cash flow and long-term value for the
Company. For the full year, pre-tax EBDT from our portfolio grew by
approximately $50 million, despite the softening of overall results in the
fourth quarter.

"We are also pleased with the performance of new property openings and
acquisitions, which added approximately $9 million to pre-tax EBDT. We
anticipate that they will continue to contribute to our results as they reach
stabilization. In addition, our military housing business continues to be a
consistent contributor, even as early-phase development fees taper off in the
first few completed communities, and we move to an ongoing management and
ownership role.


                                       3


 "As anticipated, results deteriorated in the fourth quarter as fundamentals in
the general economy and financial markets impacted the entire real estate
industry and our performance as well. Overall comparable property net operating
income ended the year relatively flat, despite continued strength in our
portfolio of office buildings. Results from our retail properties and, to a
lesser degree, from our residential multifamily portfolio, softened as we
experienced decreased consumer spending and recession-related stresses in our
tenant base. As has been the case all year, our land business continues to be
very soft. These results for the fourth quarter foreshadow what we expect will
be continued challenging business conditions in 2009.

"Clearly, our results for the year, and for the fourth quarter in particular,
also included a number of atypical items. Some of these were the result of the
turbulence in the external economic and financial market environment, including
the third-quarter charge related to Lehman Brothers, increased lease-termination
income and losses on forward swaps and hedges.

"At the same time, a number of items arose from our strategic efforts to respond
to external conditions. For example, increased project write-offs, in large
measure, reflect our efforts to curtail development activity and slow our
pipeline in order to preserve liquidity. The severance charge we took in the
fourth quarter, and the additional charge we will take in the first quarter of
2009, are the result of workforce reductions that are one element of our efforts
to reduce overhead and drive costs out of the business."

NOI, Occupancies and Rent

In the fourth quarter, comparable property net operating income (NOI) decreased
2.3 percent compared with the prior year. Comparable property NOI for the
quarter increased in the office portfolio by 2.9 percent, while it decreased in
the retail and residential portfolios by 5.3 percent and 2.1 percent,
respectively. For the full year, overall comparable property NOI increased 0.4
percent, with increases of 1.2 percent in office, 0.3 in retail and 0.2 in
residential.

Comparable property NOI, defined as NOI from properties operated for the full
year in both 2008 and 2007, is a non-GAAP financial measure and is based on the
pro-rata consolidation method, also a non-GAAP financial measure. Included in
this release is a schedule that presents comparable property NOI on the full
consolidation method.

Comparable retail occupancies were 90.4 percent at the end of 2008, while
comparable office occupancies were 90.8 percent. In the residential portfolio,
comparable average occupancies were 92.2 percent and comparable property net
rental income ended the year at 89.4 percent. In our regional malls, leasing
spreads were up 7.0 percent for the year. In the office portfolio, leasing
spreads increased 18.1 percent in the New York market and 6.1 percent for the
remainder of the office portfolio. Regional mall sales averaged $423 per square
foot on a rolling 12-month basis, while comparable regional mall sales decreased
6.9 percent, a reflection of the economic downturn.


                                       4


Strategy Update

"During our fiscal third quarter, we implemented a five-part strategy to
preserve liquidity and sustain and transform our Company in the face of
difficult economic and financial market conditions," Ratner said. "Since that
time, we have made progress on each element, including the following specific
examples:

o     Significantly slowing development. During the last four years, Forest City
      has begun construction of more than $3.4 billion in new real estate,
      including $1.0 billion in 2008. In 2009, we do not anticipate commencing
      construction on any new projects, with the exception of the arena at our
      Atlantic Yards project in Brooklyn, and a fee-based development project in
      Las Vegas. At the same time, though, we remain committed to completing
      projects already under construction, as well as to actively pursuing and
      maintaining entitlements on long-term developments in key markets.

o     Driving costs out of the business. We have made meaningful progress on
      this initiative, including the difficult step of work force reductions.
      Through targeted reductions and through attrition over the last 12-18
      months, we have reduced our work force by nearly 500, or approximately 30
      percent of our non-property staff. This decrease, coupled with other
      overhead cost reductions has resulted in $70 million to $80 million of
      cost savings on an annualized basis, approximately 60 percent of which is
      associated with development. We have accomplished this while remaining
      committed to retaining a strong core of real estate talent.

o     Accessing the equity value in our portfolio. This is clearly a challenging
      time to sell real estate. Despite this, we believe the quality and
      diversity of our products and markets will yield attractive opportunities
      for selective sales, third-party equity investments or joint ventures. We
      are actively evaluating a variety of options in this area. During the
      fourth quarter, Forest City completed the sale of the Sterling Glen of Rye
      Brook supported-living community to Atria Senior Living Group. The selling
      price was $69.8 million and the transaction generated approximately $23
      million in net proceeds.

o     Proactively managing debt maturities with a continued commitment to
      nonrecourse financing. As previously mentioned, we successfully addressed
      all of our $842 million ($900 million at the Company's pro-rata share) in
      2008 debt maturities during the year, with the exception of $13 million
      ($20 million at the Company's pro-rata share) still in negotiation.

      In late January, 2009, the Company secured an extension on the financing
      for Two MetroTech Center, a 521,000-square-foot office building at the
      Company's MetroTech Center corporate campus in Brooklyn. In early
      February, we closed a $161.9 million refinancing from Gramercy Capital
      Corp. and certain co-lenders on a land loan associated with our Atlantic
      Yards project in Brooklyn. In mid-March, we announced an extension from
      JPMorgan Chase, N.A., of a credit facility related to the Nets.


                                       5


      Our continued ability to manage our financing needs demonstrate the
      strength of our lender relationships and the quality of our products and
      markets, and we believe current market conditions will continue to
      highlight the significant benefits of nonrecourse financing.

o     Selectively taking advantage of opportunities created by market
      conditions. We continue to believe that our track record and extensive
      relationships with tenants, financial institutions, communities and
      industry partners will bring us opportunities as a result of the
      dislocations in the real estate and capital markets. We are currently
      pursuing several opportunities in areas such as property management,
      development/redevelopment, and disposition management services. Such
      opportunities can maximize short-term resource utilization while also
      contributing to results without the need for any substantial equity
      investment.

Debt Maturities and Financing Activity Update

During 2008, Forest City closed on transactions totaling $2.3 billion in
nonrecourse mortgage financings, including $580 million in refinancings, $1.1
billion in development projects and acquisitions, and $643 million in loan
extensions and additional fundings. During the fourth quarter, the Company
closed on nine loan transactions totaling $334 million. Since January 31, 2009,
the Company has closed on financings totaling approximately $168 million in
nonrecourse mortgage financings.

As of January 31, 2009 the Company's weighted average cost of mortgage debt
decreased to 5.00 percent from 5.87 percent at January 31, 2008 primarily due to
a decrease in variable-rate mortgage debt. Fixed-rate mortgage debt, which
represented 74 percent of the Company's total nonrecourse mortgage debt, and is
inclusive of interest rate swaps, declined from 6.12 percent at January 31,
2008, to 6.04 percent at January 31, 2009. The variable-rate mortgage debt
decreased from 5.06 percent at January 31, 2008, to 1.98 percent at January 31,
2009.

Project Updates

Openings

During 2008, Forest City opened or acquired 14 projects, adding $893.8 million
of cost at the Company's pro-rata share and $743.0 million on a full
consolidation basis.

Forest City opened three retail centers during the year:

o     White Oak Village, an 800,000-square-foot retail center near Richmond,
      Virginia, which is currently 85 percent leased and committed.

o     The Shops at Wiregrass, a 642,000-square-foot lifestyle center near Tampa,
      Florida, that is 90 percent leased and committed.

o     Orchard Town Center, a 980,000-square-foot open-air lifestyle center in
      Westminster, Colorado, which is 73 percent leased and committed.


                                       6


In the office portfolio, 855 North Wolfe Street, a 279,000-square-foot,
state-of-the-art research office building opened at the Science + Technology
Park at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore during the first half of the year and is
currently 53 percent leased and committed. Tenants include the Johns Hopkins
Institute for Basic Biomedical Sciences, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute,
and the Johns Hopkins Brain Science Institute.

At Mesa del Sol, the Company completed phase one of a new, 210,000-square-foot
office building for Fidelity Investments and announced an agreement with Sandia
National Laboratories to partner on the development of solar technologies. Mesa
del Sol is already home to solar industry companies SCHOTT Solar and Advent
Solar. In addition, Mesa del Sol's 74,000-square-foot Town Center was completed
in January, 2009, and is currently 63 percent leased.

Forest City opened four residential properties: the 131-unit Lucky Strike
Building at the Company's Tobacco Row adaptive reuse apartment community in
Richmond, Virginia; the 366-unit Mercantile Place on Main redevelopment in
Dallas; the 665-unit Uptown Apartments in center city Oakland; and the first
building at Hamel Mill Lofts a collection of high-end, historically renovated
rental apartment buildings in Haverhill, Massachusetts.

Under Construction

At the end of fiscal 2008, Forest City had eight projects under construction
with a total project cost of $2.1 billion at the Company's pro-rata share. These
include three large retail centers: the 1.2-million-square-foot Ridge Hill in
Yonkers, New York; the 517,000-square-foot East River Plaza in Manhattan; and
the 500,000-square-foot Village at Gulfstream in Hallandale Beach, Florida.
Forest City recently reached an agreement with the City of Hallandale Beach for
tax-increment financing, solidifying a public-private partnership to bring the
Gulfstream project to fruition. The Company recently announced 32 upscale and
luxury tenants for this center, which is scheduled to open in February, 2010.

Also under construction is a 127,000-square-foot expansion of the Company's
Promenade in Temecula retail center in Southern California. The expansion, which
is set to open this month, is currently 61 percent leased with tenants including
Coach, Pottery Barn, and Williams-Sonoma.

In the residential portfolio, construction continues on 80 Dekalb, a 34-story
80/20 residential tower in Brooklyn, Presidio a 161-unit adaptive re-use
apartment community at the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, and
Beekman, a Frank Gehry-designed residential high-rise in lower Manhattan that
will have approximately 900 market-rate apartments as well as a pre-K through
eighth-grade school, and an ambulatory care center. In light of economic and
market conditions, including falling prices for construction, the Company has
initiated a study of costs and timing for Beekman to identify possible options
to achieve savings on completion of the project. Work continues at the site and
both the school and ambulatory care center will open on time, as scheduled.


                                       7


Among the Company's major mixed-use projects, the Waterfront Station
redevelopment project in Southwest Washington, D.C., is under construction and
on track for a spring 2010 opening. The first two buildings, which total 628,000
square feet of office and retail space, have already topped out at eight
stories, are fully leased to the District of Columbia for governmental offices
and have been designed to meet LEED Silver standards.

The Company's Atlantic Yards project in Brooklyn has had two significant
achievements since the end of the fiscal year. The first is the previously
mentioned $161.9 million land loan refinancing. The second is a ruling in New
York State Appellate Court that upheld a prior State Supreme Court finding that
the state met all of its obligations in the public approvals and environmental
review process associated with the project. The ruling marks the 22nd
consecutive court ruling in favor of the project, with only one material lawsuit
still pending.

Forest City's Stapleton redevelopment project continues to demonstrate the value
of the unique "sense of place" created there. Despite a slowdown in the
Company's sales of lots to home builders, more than 500 homes were sold at
Stapleton during 2008, including 314 new homes and 194 resales. The average
selling price was approximately $430,000, consistent with average prices over
the past several years. Notably, at the end of 2008, of the approximately 3,600
homes at Stapleton, only nine were under foreclosure action.

Also at Stapleton, the Northfield retail center will benefit from an allocation
of $12 million to the State of Colorado from the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009, also known as the Economic Stimulus Package, for a new
highway interchange serving Northfield. The allocation brings the total project
funding to $34 million and will allow construction of the interchange to begin,
with an expected opening in late 2010. The interchange will not only provide
easier access to Northfield, but is also an important step in achieving the
long-term vision for Stapleton.

Year-End Summary and Outlook

"While it is impossible to predict the course of the economy or financial
markets, we continue to position the Company to deal with the difficult
environment," Ratner said. "We are cautious about current conditions, but we
remain confident in the longer term. We believe strongly in the fundamentals of
the real estate business, in the strength of our operating portfolio, our
product and market strategies, and in the long-term value we can create through
development.

"We have built a strong portfolio of high-quality assets in good markets that
represent real value and produce solid cash flow. We will continue to add to
that portfolio as we complete projects already under construction, and we will
identify and capitalize on additional opportunities created by current market
conditions.

"By taking steps today to shape our Company for the future - including
preserving liquidity, focusing on operations, retaining core real estate talent,
and maintaining a reservoir of entitled development opportunities - we are
positioning the Company to take advantage of long-term growth and value-creation
opportunities when conditions improve."

Corporate Description

Forest City Enterprises, Inc. is a $11.4 billion NYSE-listed national real
estate company. The Company is principally engaged in the ownership,
development, management and acquisition of commercial and residential real
estate and land throughout the United States.

Supplemental Package

Please refer to the Investor Relations section of the Company's website at
www.forestcity.net for a Supplemental Package, which the Company will also
furnish to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 8-K. This Supplemental
Package includes operating and financial information for the year ended January
31, 2009, with reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures, such as EBDT,
comparable NOI and pro-rata financial statements, to their most directly
comparable GAAP financial measures.

EBDT

The Company uses an additional measure, along with net earnings, to report its
operating results. This non-GAAP measure, referred to as Earnings Before
Depreciation, Amortization and Deferred Taxes ("EBDT"), is not a measure of
operating results or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP and may not
be directly comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

The Company believes that EBDT provides additional information about its core
operations and, along with net earnings, is necessary to understand its
operating results. EBDT is used by the chief operating decision maker and
management in assessing operating performance and to consider capital
requirements and allocation of resources by segment and on a consolidated basis.
The Company believes EBDT is important to investors because it provides another
method for the investor to measure its long-term operating performance, as net
earnings can vary from year to year due to property dispositions, acquisitions
and other factors that have a short-term impact.

EBDT is defined as net earnings excluding the following items: i) gain (loss) on
disposition of rental properties, divisions and other investments (net of tax);
ii) the adjustment to recognize rental revenues and rental expense using the
straight-line method; iii) non-cash charges for real estate depreciation,
amortization, amortization of mortgage procurement costs and deferred income
taxes; iv) preferred payment classified as minority interest expense on the
Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations; v) impairment of real estate
(net of tax); vi) extraordinary items (net of tax); and vii) cumulative effect
of change in accounting principle (net of tax). Unlike the real estate segments,
EBDT for the Nets segment equals net earnings.

EBDT is reconciled to net earnings, the most comparable financial measure
calculated in accordance with GAAP, in the table titled Financial Highlights
below and in the Company's Supplemental Package, which the Company will also
furnish to the SEC on Form 8-K. The adjustment to recognize rental revenues and
rental expenses on the straight-line method is excluded because it is
management's opinion that rental revenues and expenses should be recognized when
due from the tenants or due to the landlord. The Company excludes depreciation
and amortization expense related to real estate operations from EBDT because it
believes the values of its properties, in general, have appreciated over time in
excess of their original cost. Deferred taxes from real estate operations, which
are the result of timing differences of certain net expense items deducted in a
future year for federal income tax purposes, are excluded until the year in
which they are reflected in the Company's current tax provision. The impairment
of real estate is excluded from EBDT because it varies from year to year based
on factors unrelated to the Company's overall financial performance and is
related to the ultimate gain on dispositions of operating properties. The
Company's EBDT may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures
reported by other companies.

Pro-Rata Consolidation Method

This press release contains certain financial measures prepared in accordance
with GAAP under the full consolidation accounting method and certain financial
measures prepared in accordance with the pro-rata consolidation method
(non-GAAP). The Company presents certain financial amounts under the pro-rata
method because it believes this information is useful to investors as this
method reflects the manner in which the Company operates its business. In line
with industry practice, the Company has made a large number of investments in
which its economic ownership is less than 100 percent as a means of procuring
opportunities and sharing risk. Under the pro-rata consolidation method, the
Company presents its investments proportionate to its economic share of
ownership. Under GAAP, the full consolidation method is used to report
partnership assets and liabilities consolidated at 100 percent if deemed to be
under its control or if the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of
the variable interest entities ("VIE"), even if its ownership is not 100
percent. The Company provides reconciliations from the full consolidation method
to the pro-rata consolidation method, in the exhibits below and throughout its
Supplemental Package, which the Company will also furnish to the SEC on Form
8-K.

Forest City Enterprises, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Financial Highlights
Year Ended January 31, 2009 and 2008
(in thousands)

1) Pursuant to the definition of a component of an entity of SFAS No. 144,
assuming no significant continuing involvement, all earnings of properties
that have been sold or are held for sale are reported as discontinued
operations.

2) The Company uses an additional measure, along with net earnings, to
report its operating results. This measure, referred to as Earnings Before
Depreciation, Amortization and Deferred Taxes ("EBDT"), is not a measure
of operating results as defined by generally accepted accounting
principles and may not be directly comparable to similarly-titled measures
reported by other companies. The Company believes that EBDT provides
additional information about its operations, and along with net earnings,
is necessary to understand its operating results.  EBDT is defined as net
earnings excluding the following items: i) gain (loss) on disposition of
operating properties, divisions and other investments (net of tax); ii)
the adjustment to recognize rental revenues and rental expense using the
straight-line method; iii) non-cash charges for real estate depreciation,
amortization (including amortization of mortgage procurement costs) and
deferred income taxes; iv) preferred payment classified as minority
interest expense on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Earnings; v)
impairment of real estate (net of tax); vi) extraordinary items (net of
tax); and  vii) cumulative effect of change in accounting principle (net
of tax).  See our discussion of EBDT in the news release.

3) The Company recognizes minimum rents on a straight-line basis over the
term of the related lease pursuant to the provision of SFAS No. 13,
"Accounting for Leases." The straight-line rent adjustment is recorded as
an increase or decrease to revenue from Forest City Rental Properties
Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Forest City Enterprises, Inc.,
with the applicable offset to either accounts receivable or accounts
payable, as appropriate.

4)  For the three and twelve months ended January 31, 2009, the effect of
3,658,206 and 4,213,684 shares, respectively, of dilutive securities were
not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because
their effect is anti-dilutive to the loss from continuing operations.
(Since these shares are dilutive for the computation of EBDT per share for
the three and twelve months ended January 31, 2009, diluted weighted
average shares outstanding were used to arrive at $0.66/share and
$2.05/share, respectively.)

     For the year ended January 31, 2008, the effect of 5,313,567 shares
of dilutive securities were not included in the computation of diluted
earnings per share because their effect is anti-dilutive to the loss from
continuing operations.  (Since these shares are dilutive for the
computation of EBDT per share for the year ended January 31, 2008, diluted
weighted average shares outstanding of 107,575,307 were used to arrive at
$2.47/share.)

5) For the year ended January 31, 2008, $754,000 of net earnings is
allocated to participating securities under EITF 03-6 "Participating
Securities and the Two-Class Method under FASB 128". As a result, the net
earnings for purposes of calculating basic and diluted EPS is $51,671,000.

6) The preference payment represents the respective period's share of the
annual preferred payment in connection with the issuance of Class A Common
Units in exchange for Bruce C. Ratner's minority interests in the Forest
City Ratner Company portfolio.

7) The following table provides detail of depreciation and amortization
and amortization of mortgage procurement costs. The Company's Real Estate
Groups are engaged in the ownership, development, acquisition and
management of real estate projects, including apartment complexes,
regional malls and retail centers, hotels, office buildings and mixed-use
facilities, as well as large land development projects.

 2008 FOOTNOTES
 --------------

( a ) Amounts are presented on the full consolidation method of accounting, a
GAAP measure. Under full consolidation, costs are reported as consolidated at
100 percent if we are deemed to have control or to be the primary beneficiary of
our investments in the variable interest entity ("VIE").

( b ) Cost at pro-rata share represents Forest City's share of cost, based on
the Company's pro-rata ownership of each property (a non-GAAP measure). Under
the pro-rata consolidation method of accounting the Company determines its
pro-rata share by multiplying its pro-rata ownership by the total cost of the
applicable property.

( c ) Reported under the equity method of accounting. This method represents a
GAAP measure for investments in which the Company is not deemed to have control
or to be the primary beneficiary of our investments in a VIE.

( d ) The difference between the full consolidation cost amount (GAAP) of $743.0
million to the Company's pro-rata share (a non-GAAP measure) of $893.8 million
consists of a reduction to full consolidation for minority interest of $28.9
million of cost and the addition of its share of cost for unconsolidated
investments of $179.7 million.

( e ) Phased-in openings. Costs are representative of the total project.

( f ) Includes 177,000 square feet for Target and 97,000 square feet for JC
Penney that opened in Q3-06, as well as 16,000 square feet of office space.

( g ) The difference between the full consolidation cost amount (GAAP) of $0.0
million to the Company's pro-rata share (a non-GAAP measure) of $33.0 million
consists of the Company's share of cost for unconsolidated investments of $33.0
million.

( h ) As is customary within the real estate industry, the Company invests in
certain real estate projects through joint ventures. For some of these projects,
the Company provides funding at percentages that differ from the Company's legal
ownership.

( i ) Includes 20,000 square feet of retail space.

( j ) Includes 22,000 square feet of retail space.

( k ) Includes 18,000 square feet of retail space.

( l ) The difference between the full consolidation cost amount (GAAP) of
$2,470.7 million to the Company's pro-rata share (a non-GAAP measure) of
$2,121.9 million consists of a reduction to full consolidation for minority
interest of $544.9 million of cost and the addition of its share of cost for
unconsolidated investments of $196.1 million.

( m ) The difference between the full consolidation cost amount (GAAP) of $0.0
million to the Company's pro-rata share (a non-GAAP measure) of $20.7 million
consists of the Company's share of cost for unconsolidated investments of $20.7
million. ( n ) Includes 86,000 square feet of office space.

( o ) Includes 156,000 square feet of office space.

( p ) Includes 85,000 square feet of retail space.

( q ) Below is a summary of our equity method investments for Military Housing
Development projects. The Company provides services for these projects including
development, construction, and management and receives agreed upon fees for
these services.
