VORNADO REALTY L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION
Vornado Realty L.P. (the "Operating Partnership," including the operations
of Vornado Realty Trust prior to the conversion described below) is a Delaware
limited partnership. Operations commenced on April 15, 1997 when Vornado Realty
Trust ("Vornado") a fully-integrated real estate investment trust ("REIT")
converted to an Umbrella Partnership REIT ("UPREIT") by transferring
substantially all of its assets to 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" refer to Vornado 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 the Operating
Partnership'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 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.

Newkirk Joint Ventures
In March 1999, the Company and its joint venture partner completed the
acquisition of additional equity interests in certain limited partnerships. The
Company's investment of $52,435,000 consisted of $47,790,000 in Operating
Partnership Units and $4,645,000 in cash.
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 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%.

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
The Company currently manages and leases the real estate assets of
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.
The Mendik Group owns an entity which provides cleaning and related
services and security services to office properties, including the Company's
Manhattan office properties. The Company was charged fees in connection with
these contracts of $11,011,000 and $5,267,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1999 and 1998.

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, Vornado 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).
