ITEM 2 ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

On September 9, 1998, a  wholly-owned  subsidiary of Urstadt  Biddle  Properties
Inc. (formerly HRE Properties,  Inc.) (the "Registrant") purchased the Goodwives
Shopping Center (the "Property")  located in Darien,  Connecticut from Goodwives
Center Limited Partnership (the "Sellers"). The purchase price was approximately
$21,400,000  including  closing costs,  fees and other expenses of approximately
$100,000.

The  Property  was  acquired  pursuant to a Purchase  and Sale  Agreement  dated
September  9,  1998 by and  between  the  Sellers  and  Registrant.  There is no
relationship between any Director or Officer of the Registrant and Seller.

Registrant  funded the purchase with cash of $1,900,000 and borrowings under its
existing  bank credit lines of  $19,500,000.  Bank credit line  borrowings  bear
interest at rates tied to the prime rate or LIBOR (currently 8.08% per annum).

Material Factors Considered by the Registrant:

Market and Competition:

Prior to acquiring the Property,  the Registrant considered general regional and
local economic  conditions and the  Property's  competitive  posture within that
market.

The  Property  acquired  is a community  shopping  center  located in  Fairfield
County, Connecticut.  The Property contains 95,628 square feet of gross leasable
area and is  situated  on 9.5 acres of land.  The  shopping  center  contains 21
tenants whose  principal  businesses are the sale of various retail products and
merchandise.

The Property was developed in 1955 and fully  renovated in 1990. The Property is
located in a predominantly residential area in an affluent community in the town
of Darien,  Fairfield  County,  Connecticut.  Darien is a white-collar,  bedroom
community  with  a  population  of  59,000  and  average   household  income  of
approximately $110,000 (more than double the national averages).

A significant factor of the Property is its location. Due to limited development
opportunity  within the Darien  town  limits,  the  Property  is only one of two
full-service  neighborhood shopping centers servicing the community. The average
occupancy rate among competing centers is approximately 98%.

Tenants:

The Property's largest tenant is The Grand Union Company, a regional retail food
store,  occupying  36,033 square feet of the Property  (37.7% of the  Property's
gross  leasable  area  (GLA)).  No  other  tenant  rents  more  than  10% of the
Property's GLA.

All of the leases with tenants are for terms longer than one year and  generally
provide for  additional  rental amounts based on each tenant's share of the cost
of maintaining common


                                       2

areas and certain operating expenses including insurance of the property.  As of
September  30, 1998,  the average  effective  annual base rental rate per square
foot is $22.50.

The following is a schedule of lease expirations of the Property by year:

Building and Capital Improvements:

The federal  tax basis of the  Property  (including  land) is  $21,400,000.  The
property  will be  depreciated  over its  estimated  useful life (40 years) on a
straight line basis. The Registrant  anticipates spending an additional $350,000
in the next twelve months for property improvements.

Property Taxes:

The annual realty taxes of the Property are $170,000 for the 1998 tax year.

Property Management:

The Registrant manages the Property directly.

After  reasonable  inquiry,  the Registrant is not aware of any material factors
relating to the Property, other than those set forth above, that would cause the
reported  financial  information  not to be  necessarily  indicative  of  future
operating results.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Stockholders of Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc.

We have audited the  accompanying  statement of revenues and certain expenses of
Goodwives  Shopping Center  ("Goodwives")  for the year ended December 31, 1997.
This financial statement is the responsibility of management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on this financial statement based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards  require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance   about   whether  the   financial   statement  is  free  of  material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial  statement.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As  described  in Note 1, the  accompanying  statement  of revenues  and certain
expenses  was  prepared  for  the  purpose  of  complying  with  the  rules  and
regulations  of the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  for  inclusion in the
current  report on Form  8-K/A of  Urstadt  Biddle  Properties  Inc.  and is not
intended to be a complete presentation of Goodwives' revenues and expenses.

In our opinion,  the financial  statement  referred to above presents fairly, in
all material  respects,  the revenues and certain  expenses of Goodwives for the
year ended  December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted  accounting
principles.

                                                             ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP

                            GOODWIVES SHOPPING CENTER
               NOTES TO STATEMENT OF REVENUES AND CERTAIN EXPENSES
                      FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

The  accompanying  statement of revenues and certain  expenses  (the  "financial
statement")   reflects  the  operations  of  Goodwives   Shopping   Center  (the
"Property"),   a  95,628  square  foot  retail   property   located  in  Darien,
Connecticut.  The Property was acquired by Urstadt Biddle  Properties  Inc. (the
"Company") from an unaffiliated party on September 9, 1998.

The  accompanying  financial  statement was prepared in accordance  with certain
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for inclusion in
the Company's current report on Form 8-K/A. The accompanying financial statement
excludes certain expenses such as interest,  depreciation and amortization,  and
other  costs not  directly  related to the future  operations  of the  Property.
Certain  information  and footnote  disclosures  normally  included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles
have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations,  although the Company
believes  that  the  disclosures  made  are  adequate  to make  the  information
presented not misleading.

Revenue Recognition

Base rental income is recognized on a straight-line  basis over the terms of the
related leases.

Use of Estimates

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

2.   LEASES

The Property is leased to tenants under operating  leases that expire at various
dates through 2009. As of December 31, 1997, the occupancy rate of the Portfolio
was 94%.  For the year ended  December 31,  1997,  The Grand Union  Company is a
tenant that accounts for approximately 23% of rental income.

leases in effect as of December 31, 1997 were as follows:

                  Thereafter                                    4,782,743

The above  amounts do not include  tenant  reimbursements,  which are  primarily
based upon the tenants'  proportionate  share reimbursement of real estate taxes
and operating  expenses in accordance with their respective leases. The Property
is  subject  to the usual  business  risks  associated  with the  collection  of
scheduled rents.

3.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Property  paid  management  fees to an affiliate of the former owners of the
Property. Such fees amounted to approximately $24,600 in 1997.

4.   ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES

As is common in certain real estate properties similar to the Property,  certain
improvements  are required to alleviate  the release of a hazardous  contaminant
located  at  the  Property.  The  Company  is in  the  process  of  executing  a
remediation  plan which includes annual  maintenance  over the next three years.
The estimated cost of the remediation is approximately $190,000. In addition, to
mitigate any further risk associated with this environmental  issue, the Company
has obtained  insurance that it believes  adequately covers against  remediation
cost overruns and third party claims.

                   FOR THE EIGHT MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1998
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The  accompanying  statement of revenues and certain  expenses  (the  "financial
statement")   reflects  the  operations  of  Goodwives   Shopping   Center  (the
"Property"), a 95,628 square foot retail property located in Darien, Connecticut
for the eight months ended August 31, 1998. The Property was acquired by Urstadt
Biddle  Properties Inc. (the "Company") from an unaffiliated  party on September
9, 1998.

The  accompanying  financial  statement was prepared in accordance  with certain
rules and  regulations of the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission and excludes
certain  expenses such as interest,  depreciation  and  amortization,  and other
costs not directly  related to the future  operations of the  Property.  Certain
information and footnote  disclosures  normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles have been
omitted pursuant to those rules and  regulations,  although the Company believes
that the  disclosures  made are adequate to make the  information  presented not
misleading. The financial statement is not necessarily indicative of the results
of operations for future periods.

ITEM 7 (B)   PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following Pro Forma  Consolidated  Balance Sheet as of July 31, 1998 and the
Pro Forma  Consolidated  Statements of Income for the nine months ended July 31,
1998 and for the year ended  October 31, 1997 have been  prepared to reflect the
acquisition transaction and the adjustments described in the accompanying notes.
The pro  forma  financial  information  is  based  on the  historical  financial
statements of Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc.  (formerly known as HRE Properties,
Inc.)  and  should  be read in  conjunction  with  the  notes  and  management's
assumptions  thereto.  The Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet were prepared as
if the  acquisition  transaction  occurred  on July  31,  1998.  The  pro  forma
consolidated  statements  of income for the nine months  ended July 31, 1998 and
for the year ended  October  31, 1997 were  prepared  assuming  the  transaction
occurred  on the first day of each  period  presented.  The pro forma  financial
information is unaudited and not necessarily  indicative of the actual financial
position  of the Company as of July 31,  1998 or what the actual  results  would
have been  assuming the  acquisition  transaction  had been  consummated  at the
beginning of the periods presented,  nor does it purport to represent the future
financial position and results of operations for future periods.

                        NOTES AND MANAGEMENT ASSUMPTIONS
                  TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF INCOME
                       FOR THE YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1997
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

On September 9, 1998,  Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc.  (formerly HRE Properties,
Inc.) (the "Company")  acquired  Goodwives  Shopping Center (the "Property"),  a
retail property located in Darien, Connecticut, for a total cost of $21,400,000,
including closing costs, fees and other expenses of approximately  $100,000. The
Company  acquired the Property with available funds of $1,900,000 and short-term
bank borrowings of $19,500,000.

The  accompanying  unaudited  pro  forma  consolidated  statement  of  income is
presented  as if the  acquisition  transaction  had been made as of  November 1,
1996.

The pro forma  consolidated  statement of income  should be read in  conjunction
with the historical  financial statements and notes thereto of the Company as of
October 31, 1997. In management's opinion, all material adjustments necessary to
reflect the effects of the  acquisition of the Property by the Company have been
made.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated  statement of income is are not necessarily
indicative  of what the actual  results of  operations of the Company would have
been assuming the  acquisition of the Property had been completed as of November
1, 1996,  nor are they  necessarily  indicative of the results of operations for
future periods.

2.   ADJUSTMENTS TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF INCOME:

     (a) To reflect  rental  income and  operating  expenses  as reported by the
     Property for the period November 1, 1996 to October 31, 1997.

     (b) To reflect  interest expense related to the $19,500,000 bank borrowings
     at 8.08% for the  acquisition of the Property as if the borrowings has been
     outstanding for the entire period.

     (c) To  reflect  depreciation  expense  for  the  Property  over a  40-year
     estimated useful life for the Property's  building and improvements using a
     cost basis of  $17,000,000  as if the Property was purchased on November 1,
     1996 (the remaining purchase price of $4,400,000 was allocated to land).

     (d) To reflect a reduction in interest  income as if the cash investment of
     $1,900,000 had been made at the beginning of the period,  using an interest
     rate of 5.0% which  approximates  the Company's actual yield for the fiscal
     year ended October 31, 1997.

                      PRO FORMA ESTIMATE OF TAXABLE INCOME
                            AND FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS
                                OF THE REGISTRANT
                           YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1997
                                   (UNAUDITED)

The following presents unaudited pro forma estimates of taxable income and funds
from  operations of Urstadt Biddle  Properties Inc. (the  "Registrant")  for the
year ended  October 31, 1997  assuming  that the purchase of Goodwives  had been
consummated  as of November 1, 1996.  Net income is not taxable to the Registant
because it  qualifies  as a real  estate  investment  trust  under the  Internal
Revenue Code. Accordingly,  the Registrant will not be subject to federal income
tax so long as it  continues  to qualify as a real estate  investment  trust and
distributes  substantially  all of its federal  taxable  income.  The Registrant
defines  Funds From  Operations as net income  excluding  gains (or losses) from
debt restructuring and sales of properties, plus depreciation, amortization, the
elimination  of  significant   non-recurring   charges  and  credits  and  after
adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. These estimates do not purport to
represent  actual or expected  results of operations of the  Registrant  for any
period in the future.  The estimates were prepared on the basis described in the
accompanying notes, which should be read in conjunction herewith.
