              Notes To Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)
                                 March 31, 1998

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation - SL Green Realty Corp.

Initial Public Offering and Formation Transactions

      SL Green Realty Corp. (the "Company"), a Maryland corporation, and SL
Green Operating Partnership, L.P., (the "Operating Partnership"), were formed in
June 1997 for the purpose of combining the commercial real estate business of
S.L. Green Properties, Inc. and its affiliated partnerships and entities ("SL
Green"). The Operating Partnership received a contribution of interest in the
real estate properties, as well as 95% of the economic interest in the
management, leasing and construction companies (the "Service Corporations"). The
Company qualifies as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; and operates as a fully integrated,
self-administered, self-managed REIT. A REIT is a legal entity that holds real
estate interests and, through payments of dividends to shareholders, is
permitted to reduce or avoid the payment of federal income taxes at the
corporate level.

      The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 200 million shares
of capital stock, $.01 par value, of which the Company has authorized the
issuance of up to 100 million shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value per share,
75 million shares of Excess Stock, at $.01 par value per share, and 25 million
shares of Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share. On August 20, 1997, the
Company issued 11.615 million shares of its Common Stock (including the
underwriters' over-allotment option of 1.52 million shares) to the public
through a public offering (the "Offering"). Concurrently with the consummation
of the Offering, the Company issued 38,095 shares of restricted common stock
pursuant to stock loans and 85,600 shares of restricted common stock to a
financial advisor. In addition, the Company previously issued to its executive
officers approximately 553,616 shares, as founders' shares. As of March 31,
1998, no shares of Excess Stock or Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding.

      Concurrently with the consummation of the Offering, the Company and the
Operating Partnership, together with the partners and members of the affiliated
partnerships of the SL Green Predecessor and other parties which held ownership
interests in the properties contributed to the Operating Partnership
(collectively, the "Participants"), engaged in certain Formation Transactions
(the "Formation Transactions").

      The net cash proceeds received by the Company from the Offering (after
deducting underwriting discounts) was $228.7 million. The Company utilized
approximately $42.6 million of the Offering proceeds to repay mortgage
indebtedness encumbering the properties, including $1.5 million for prepayment
penalties and other financing fees and expenses, approximately $6.6 million to
purchase the direct or indirect interests of certain participants in the
properties, approximately $95.5 million to acquire properties, approximately
$3.4 million to pay certain expenses incurred in the Formation Transactions,
$35.6 million to repay a loan from Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. ("LBHI")
(which includes $20 million to repay a loan that was made to a Company
indirectly owned by Stephen L. Green), $1.8 million to fund the advisory fee
payment to Lehman Brothers, Inc. and $41.7 million to fund capital expenditures,
general working capital needs and future acquisitions (See note 2).

      Substantially all of the Company's assets are held by, and its operations
conducted through, the Operating Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership.
The Company is the sole managing general partner of the Operating Partnership.
Continuing investors hold, in the aggregate, a 16.2% limited partnership
interest in the Operating Partnership.

Principles of Combination - SL Green Predecessor

      The SL Green Predecessor is not a legal entity but rather a combination of
real estate properties and affiliated real estate management, construction and
leasing entities under common control and management of Stephen L. Green; and
interests owned and managed by Stephen L. Green in entities accounted for on the
equity method (see below) that are organized as partnerships and a limited
liability company. The entities included in this unaudited combined financial
statement have been combined for only the periods that they were under common
control and management. All significant intercompany transactions and balances
have been eliminated in combination. Capital contributions, distributions and
profits and losses are allocated in accordance with the terms of the applicable
agreements.

entities' income or loss and for cash distributions and contributions.

Basis of Quarterly Presentation

      The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated and combined financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of
the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair
presentation have been included. The 1998 operating results for the period
presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ending December 31, 1998. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K and the Company's registration statement on
Form S-11 dated August 14, 1997.

Management

      In order to maintain the Company's qualification as a REIT while realizing
income from management leasing and construction contracts from third parties,
all of the management operations with respect to properties in which the Company
will not own a 100% interest are conducted through the Service Corporations. The
Company, through the Operating Partnership, owns 100% of the non-voting common
stock (representing 95% of the total equity) of the Service Corporations.
Through dividends on its equity interest, the Operating Partnership receives
substantially all of the cash flow from the Service Corporations' operations.
All of the voting common stock of the Service Corporations (representing 5% of
the total equity) is held by an SL Green affiliate. This controlling interest
gives the SL Green affiliate the power to elect all directors of the Service
Corporations. The Company accounts for its investment in the Service
Corporations on the equity basis of accounting on the basis that it has
significant influence with respect to management and operations.

      All of the management and leasing with respect to the properties
contributed and acquired by the Company is conducted through the Management LLC
which is owned 100% by the Operating Partnership.

Partnership Agreement

      In accordance with the partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership
(the "Operating Partnership Agreement"), all allocations of distributions and
profits and losses are made in proportion to the percentage ownership interests
of their respective partners. As the managing general partner of the Operating
Partnership, the Company is required to take such reasonable efforts, as
determined by it in its sole discretion, to cause the Operating Partnership to
distribute sufficient amounts to enable the payment of sufficient dividends by
the Company to avoid any federal income or excise tax at the Company level as a
consequence of a sale of SL Green property. Under the Operating Partnership
Agreement each limited partner will have the right to redeem limited partnership
interest for cash, or if the Company so elects, shares of common stock. Under
the Operating Partnership Agreement, the Company is prohibited from selling 673
First Avenue and 470 Park Avenue South through August 2009. Pursuant to the
terms of the Operating Partnership Agreement, the Units issued to the Company's
management and continuing investors at the IPO may not, for up to two years from
the IPO date, transfer any of their rights or redeem their Units as a limited
partner without the consent of the Company.

2. Property Acquisitions

      During March 1998, the Company purchased the operating interest in the
property located at 420 Lexington Avenue (the "Graybar Building") and the fee
interest in the property located at 1466 Broadway from the Helmsley organization
for $142 million. The Graybar Building is located adjacent to Grand Central
Station and encompasses approximately 1.2 million square feet and the property
at 1466 Broadway is located at 42nd Street and Broadway encompassing
approximately 290,000 square feet.

      During March 1998 the Company purchased the property located at 321 West
44th Street for approximately $17 million, comprised of approximately 209,000
square feet.

      On January 8, 1998, the Company acquired fee title to its property located
at 1372 Broadway. Prior to this date the Company held a mortgagee's interest in
this property with a right to acquire the fee without additional cost.

      The following table summarizes, on an unaudited pro forma basis, the
combined results of operations of the Company for the three months ended March
31, 1998 and 1997 as though each acquisition since January 1, 1997 was completed
at the beginning of such period. The pro forma revenues are based upon the
Company utilizing the Bridge Facility and does not reflect the Company's recent
public offering (see note 9).

                                                             1998        1997

      Total revenues......................................  $31,105    $30,759
      Pro forma net income................................   $3,449     $3,418
      Pro forma earnings per share (basic and diluted)
      Per common share - basic............................    $0.28      $0.28
      Per common and common equivalent share - diluted....    $0.28      $0.28

3. Hypothecated Loans

      During the period, the Company repaid the outstanding balance on its
hypothecated mortgage recording tax loan. The tax credits secured by this loan
were used to secure the Bridge Facility. Upon re-payment of the Bridge Facility
a new hypothecated loan ($122 million) will be put in place to preserve these
credits for future use.

4. Revolving Credit Facility and Acquisition Facility

      During March 1998, the Company asked the Credit Facility banking group to
temporarily relieve the Company from its obligations under the financial
covenants of the Credit Facility, in order to close an additional financing
necessary to acquire the Helmsley properties (the "Bridge Facility"). The Bridge
Facility, which closed on March 18, 1998, financed the acquisition of the
Helmsley properties, paid-off the outstanding balance on the Company's Credit
Facility and will provide on going liquidity for future acquisition and
corporate needs. The term of the Bridge Facility is one year with an interest
rate that is determined by a schedule of the percent of loan commitment
outstanding and the duration of the outstanding commitments, ranging from 170
basis points over LIBOR to 300 basis points over LIBOR (7.3875% at March
31, 1998). The Bridge Loan is secured by the unencumbered assets of the Company
including mortgage tax credits previously associated with the Company's
hypothecated loan. The original Credit Facility will remain committed but unused
until the Bridge Facility is paid off through either permanent debt or an equity
financing and the Company's financial covenant obligations are restored.

5. Income Taxes

      No provision has been made for income taxes in the accompanying combined
financial statements of SL Green Predecessor since such taxes, if any, are the
responsibility of the individual partners.

6. Net Income Per Common Share

      Net income per common share-basic is computed in accordance with the
treasury stock method and is based on the weighted average number of common
shares and common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. The
common stock equivalent shares represent options outstanding. To arrive at the
diluted per common share, the common stock equivalents resulted in increasing
the number of shares outstanding by approximately 112,000 shares.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

      The Company and the Operating Partnership are not presently involved in
any material litigation nor, to their knowledge, is any material litigation
threatened against them or their properties, other than routine litigation
arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes the costs, if
any, incurred by the Company and the Operating Partnership related to the
routine litigation will not materially affect the financial position, operating
results or liquidity of the Company and the Operating Partnership.

8. Related Party Transactions

      There are business relationships with related parties which involve
maintenance expenses in the ordinary course of business. The Company's
transactions with the related parties amounted to $36,000 for the three month
period ended March 31, 1998. SL Green Predecessor's transactions with the
related parties amounted to $123,000 for the three month period ended March 31,
1997.

9. Subsequent Events

      On March 19, 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a $0.35
per share distribution to stockholders of record on March 31, 1998. The
distribution, together with the distribution to the Unit holders of the
Operating Partnership amounted to $5.1 million and was paid on April 15, 1998.

      On April 14, 1998, the Company converted its mortgage interest in 36 West
44th Street into a fee interest and its mortgage interest in 36 West 43rd Street
into a leasehold interest (collectively known as the Bar Building) for an
additional cost of approximately $800,000.

      On May 13, 1998 the Company completed the sale of 10,000,000 shares of
common stock and 4,000,000 shares of 8% Preferred Mandatory Income Redeemable
shares with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share ("the PIERS"). Gross
proceeds from these equity offerings ($307 million, after underwriters discount)
will be used principally to repay the Bridge Facility and acquire additional
properties. These offerings resulted in a reduction of continuing investors
interest in the Operating Partnership from 16.2% to 9.8%. If the overallotment
options are exercised, the Company will issue an additional 1,500,00 shares of
common stock and 600,000 shares of PIERS resulting in additional gross proceeds
of $46.1 million.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results 
          of Operations

Overview

      This report includes certain statements that may be deemed to be
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included
in this report that address activities, events or developments that the Company
expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including such
matters as future capital expenditures, dividends and acquisitions (including
the amount and nature thereof), expansion and other development trends of the
real estate industry, business strategies, expansion and growth of the Company's
operations and other such matters are forward-looking statements. These
statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the Company in
light of its experience and its perception of historical trends, current
conditions, expected future developments and other factors it believes are
appropriate. Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and
uncertainties, general economic and business conditions, the business
opportunities that may be presented to and pursued by the Company, changes in
laws or regulations and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of
the Company. Any such statements are not guarantees of future performance and
actual results or developments may differ materially from those anticipated in
the forward-looking statements.

      The following discussion related to the consolidated financial statements
of the Company and the combined financial statements of SL Green Predecessor
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements appearing elsewhere
in this report, financial statements included in the Company's annual report on
Form 10-K and the financial statements and related notes thereto included in the
Company's registration statement on Form S-11 dated August 14, 1997. In
connection with the Formation Transactions as described in Note 1 to the
financial statements there were significant changes in the financial condition
and results of operations of the Company which are outlined below, consequently,
the comparison of the historical periods prior to August 21, 1997 provides only
limited information regarding the operations of the Company. Therefore, in
addition to the historical comparison, the Company has provided a comparison of
the results of operations on a pro forma basis.

Financial Condition

      Commercial real estate properties before accumulated depreciation
increased approximately $168.9 million from March 31, 1998 to December 31, 1997
primarily as a result of the purchase of the operating position in 420 Lexington
Avenue, and the property purchases of 1466 Broadway and 321 West 44th Street.
These acquisitions were funded through a Bridge Facility and cash on hand. The
Bridge Facility also repaid $93 million that was outstanding on the Company's
revolving credit facility.

Results of Operations

      Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 1998 to the three months
ended March 31, 1997. For discussion purposes, the results of operations from
the three months ended March 31, 1998 represent the operations of SL Green
Realty Corp and the results of operations for the three months ended March 31,
1997 represent solely the operating results of the SL Green Predecessor. Since
March 31, 1997, the following transactions have occurred that have a material
impact on the comparison of the 1998 and 1997 results: (i) the Formation
Transactions resulted in three buildings previously accounted for under the
equity method (673 Third Avenue, 470 Park Avenue South and 29 West 35th Street)
which are now reported as property results, three acquired buildings (50 West
23rd Street, 1140 Avenue of the Americas and 1372 Broadway) collectively the
"IPO Acquisitions" being included in the 1998 results which were not included in
1997 results, (ii) the results of 110 East 42nd Street (acquired September
1997), 17 Battery Place (acquired December 1997) and 633 Third Avenue (acquired
December 1997) "the 1997 Acquisitions" are included in the consolidated results
for the three months ended March 31, 1998, not included in the 1997 results and
(iii) the results of 420 Lexington Avenue (acquired March 1998), 1466 Broadway
(acquired March 1998) and 321 West 44th Street (acquired March 1998) (the "1998
Acquisitions") which are included for a portion of first quarter 1998 results,
not included in the 1997 results.

      The rental revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1998 totaled $19.4
million representing an increase of $17.9 million compared to $1.5 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1997. The increase is primarily attributable to
the revenue associated with the following: (i) the IPO Acquisitions which
increased rental revenue $10.4 million (ii) the 1997 Acquisitions which
increased rental revenue by $5.1 million, (iii) the 1998 Acquisitions which
increased rental revenue by $2.0 million.

      Escalation and reimbursement revenue for the three months ended March 31,
1998 totaled $2.1 million representing an increase of $2.0 million compared to
$149,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. The increase is primarily
attributable to 


                                       13
<PAGE>

the revenue associated with the following: (i) the IPO Acquisitions which
increased revenue by $1.4 million, (ii) the 1997 Acquisitions which increased
revenue by $442,000, (iii) the 1998 Acquisitions which increased revenue by
$88,000.

      Investment income totaled $637,000 which represents interest income from
the Battery Park mortgage ($465,000) and remainder form excess cash on hand with
no income during the comparable period in 1997.

      As of the IPO date, third party management, leasing and construction
revenues and related expense are incurred by the Service Corporations, which are
95% owned subsidiaries of the Company, which is accounted for on the equity
method. This change in recognition of income and expense from third party
business activities was made in order to be consistent with the REIT qualifying
income test, as defined by the IRS. This change resulted in no management fees,
leasing commissions or construction fee, being recorded by the Company, compared
to the 1997 third party revenue recorded by the predecessor.

      Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1998 totaled $5.7
million representing an increase of $4.9 million compared to $.8 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1997. The increase was primarily attributable to:
(i) the IPO Acquisitions which increased operating expenses by $2.6 million (ii)
the 1997 Acquisitions which increased operating expenses by $1.7 million and
(iii) the 1998 Acquisition expenses which increased operating expenses by
$600,000.

      Ground rent for the three months ended March 31, 1998 totaled $1.2 million
compared to none for the three months ended March 31, 1997 since ground rent is
being incurred by properties acquired subsequent to March 31, 1997.

      Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 1998 totaled $3.5
million representing an increase of $3.2 million compared to $345,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1997. The increase is primarily attributable to
interest incurred on the Company's revolving line of credit, and Bridge Facility
($1.7 million) and additional mortgage debt, including interest on the Company's
ground lease and capital lease obligations, ($1.5 million).

      Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended March 31, 1998
totaled $2.7 million representing an increase of $2.4 million compared to
$271,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. The increase is primarily
attributable to: (i) the IPO Acquisitions which increased depreciation by $1.6
million (ii) the 1997 Acquisitions which increased depreciation by $500,000
(iii) the 1998 Acquisitions which increased depreciation by $150,000, (iv) and
an increase in the amortization of deferred finance costs totaling $200,000
associated with fees incurred on the Company's revolving credit facility and
acquisition facility.

      Real estate taxes for the three months ended March 31, 1998 totaled $3.3
million representing an increase of $3.1 million compared to $243,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1997. The increase is primarily attributable to (i)
the IPO Acquisitions which increased real estate taxes by $1.7 million (ii) the
1997 Acquisitions which increased real estate taxes by $1.0 million and (iii)
the 1998 Acquisitions which increased real estate taxes by $300,000.

      Marketing, general and administrative expense for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 totaled $1.0 million representing an increase of $104,000
compared to $896,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. The increase is
due to higher costs associated with the Company's recent growth. This increase
is partially off-set by the 1998 third party related costs incurred during 1998
which have been classified to the Service Corporations to correspond with the
classification of third party revenue.

Pro Forma Results of Operations

      Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 1998 to the three months
ended March 31, 1997. The Pro forma statements of operations for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, are presented as if the
Company's IPO and the Formation Transactions occurred on January 1, 1997 and the
effect thereof was carried forward through March 31, 1998. In addition to the
IPO and Formation Transactions, the following transactions also affect the 1998
and 1997 comparable results: (i) the results of 110 East 42nd Street (acquired
September 1997), 17 Battery Place (acquired December 1997) and 633 Third Avenue
(acquired December 1997) "the 1997 Acquisitions" are included in the
consolidated results for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and not included
in the 1997 results and (ii) the results of 420 Lexington Avenue (acquired March
1998), 1466 Broadway (acquired March 1998) and 321 West 44th Street (acquired
March 1998) the "1998 Acquisitions" are included in a portion of the 1998
results and not included in the 1997 results.

      The pro forma results of operations do not purport to represent what the
Company's results would have been assuming the completion of the Formation
Transactions and the Company's IPO at the beginning of the period indicated, nor
do they purport to 


                                       14

project the Company's financial results of operations at any future date or for
any future period. The pro forma statements of operations should be read in
conjunction with the combined financial statements of SL Green Predecessor
included in the Company's registration statement on Form S-11 dated August 14,
1997 and the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company's.

<PAGE>

      The rental revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1998 totaled $19.4
million an increase of $8.0 million versus March 31, 1997. The increase is
primarily attributable to the revenue associated with the following: (i) the
1997 acquisitions which increased rental revenue by $5.1 million, (ii) the 1998
acquisitions which increased rental revenue by $2.0 million and (iii) increased
occupancy of the other portfolio buildings increased revenue $800,000.

      Escalation and reimbursement revenue for the three months ended March 31,
1998 totaled $2.1 million an increase of $1.0 million versus March 31, 1997. The
increase is attributable to the revenue associated with: (i) the 1997
Acquisitions which increased revenue by $400,000, (ii) the 1998 Acquisitions
which increased revenue by $100,000 and (iii) the core portfolio where revenue
increased by $500,000.

      Investment income totaled $637,000 which represents interest income on the
Battery Place mortgage ($465) and the balance earned from excess cash on hand.
There was no income during the comparable period in 1997.

      Other income for the three months ended March 31, 1998 totaled $4,000
representing a decrease of $1.5 million compared to March 31, 1997. The decrease
is primarily attributable to 1997 lease termination income (primarily at 1372
Broadway) that did not have corresponding activity during 1998.

      Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1998 totaled $5.7
million representing an increase of $2.8 million compared to $2.9 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1997. The increase was primarily attributable
to: (i) the 1997 Acquisitions which increased operating expenses by $1.7 million
and (ii) the 1998 Acquisitions which increased operating expenses by $800,000.

      Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 1998 totaled $3.5
million representing an increase of $2.0 million compared to $1.5 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1997. The increase is primarily attributable to
interest incurred on the Company's revolving line of credit and acquisition
facility ($1.7 million) and additional mortgage loans ($300,000).

      Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended March 31, 1998
totaled $2.7 million representing an increase of $1.0 million compared to $1.7
million for the three months ended March 31, 1997. The increase is primarily
attributable to: (i) the 1997 Acquisitions which increased depreciation by
$500,000 and (ii) the 1998 Acquisitions which increased depreciation by
$200,000, additionally amortization of financing costs increased $200,000 due to
fees recognized on the Company's revolving line of credit and acquisition
facility.

      Real estate taxes for the three months ended March 31, 1998 totaled $3.3
million representing an increase of $1.3 million compared to $2.0 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1997. The increase is primarily attributable to
(i) the 1997 Acquisitions which increased real estate taxes by $1 million and
(ii) the 1998 Acquisitions which increased real estate taxes by $300,000.

      Marketing, general and administrative expense for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 totaled $1.0 million representing an increase of $324,000
compared to $714,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. The increase is
due to higher costs associated with higher public entity costs ($100,000) and
increased costs associated with the Company's recent growth ($186,000).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      The SL Green Predecessor historically relied on fixed and floating rate
mortgage financing plus the use of its capital for the acquisition,
redevelopment and renovation of the Company's properties. The proceeds from the
Offering, as well as the new mortgage loan in the amount of $14 million, which
is secured by 50 West 23rd Street, were utilized to repay existing mortgage
loans, acquire properties, pay Offering and Formation Transaction expenses and
provide working capital. Total outstanding mortgage loans amounted to $46.3
million as a result of the Formation Transactions. All mortgage loans
encumbering the Company's properties have fixed interest rates ranging from
7.47% to 9.0%.

      The Company asked the revolving Credit Facility, the "Credit Facility",
banking group to temporarily relieve the Company from its obligations under the
financial covenants of the Credit Facility, in order to close an additional
financing necessary to acquire the Helmsley Properties (the "Bridge Facility").
This Bridge Facility closed on March 18, 1998 financed the Helmsley Properties
acquisition, paid-off the outstanding balance on the Company's Credit Facility
and provides on-going liquidity for future acquisition and corporate needs. The
term of the Bridge Facility is one year. The interest rate is determined by a
schedule of the percent of the loan commitment 


                                       16
<PAGE>

outstanding and the duration of the loan commitment outstanding ranging from 170
basis points over LIBOR to 300 basis points over LIBOR (7.3875% at March 31,
1998). The original Credit Facility will remain committed but unused until the
Bridge Facility is paid off through either permanent debt or an equity financing
and the Company's financial covenant obligations are restored.

      At March 31, 1998 the mortgage loans and Bridge Facility represent
approximately 46% of the Company's market capitalization based on an estimated
total market capitalization (debt and equity, assuming conversion of all
operating partnership units) of $638.8 million (based on a common stock price of
$25.5625 per share, the closing price of the Company's common stock on the New
York Stock Exchange on March 31, 1998). The Company's principal debt maturities
are scheduled to be $1.49 million and $2.23 million for the nine months ending
December 31, 1998 and the twelve months ending December 31, 1999, respectively.

      The Company expects to make distributions to its stockholders primarily
based on its distributions received from the Operating Partnership or, if
necessary, from working capital or borrowings. The Operating Partnership income
will be derived primarily from lease revenue from the Properties and, to a
limited extent, from fees generated by the Service Corporations.

      The Company estimates that for the nine months ended December 31, 1998 and
the 12 months ending December 31, 1999, it will incur approximately $14.8
million and $11.8 million, respectively, of capital expenditures on properties
currently owned. In 1998 and 1999, over $12.8 million and $9.7 million,
respectively, of the capital investments are associated with capital investment
dedicated to redevelopment costs associated with properties at or after the
Company's IPO. The Company expects to fund these capital expenditures with the
Credit Facility, operating cash flow and cash on hand. Future property
acquisitions may require substantial capital investments in such properties for
refurbishment and leasing costs. The Company expects that these financing
requirements will be provided primarily from the Credit Facility (once
obtained), from additional borrowings secured by the target property and from
future issuances of equity and debt. The Company believes that it will have
sufficient capital resources to satisfy its obligations during the next 12 month
period. Thereafter, the Company expects that capital needs will be met through a
combination of net cash provided by operations, borrowings and additional equity
issuances.

Cash Flows

      Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 1998 to the three months
ended March 31, 1997

      Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities increased $10.1
million to $9.9 million provided by operations from $(231,000) used in
operations for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to the three
months ended March 31, 1997. The increase was due primarily to the operating
cash flow generated by the IPO Acquisitions, 1997 Acquisitions and 1998
Acquisitions, increased income from other properties and an increase in
investment income. Net cash used in investing activities increased $168.8
million to $168.9 million from $112,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1998 compared to the three months ended March 31, 1997. The increase was due
primarily to the purchase of (i) certain properties in connection with the
Offering (ii) the 1997 Acquisitions and (iii) the 1998 Acquisitions. Net cash
provided by financing activities increased $157.2 million to $156.9 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to $339,000 cash used in
financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 1997. The increase was
primarily due to net proceeds from the Company's Bridge Facility ($240.0
million) which were used to pay-off the Company's Credit Facility and purchase
the 1998 acquisitions. This increase was partially off-set by the $5.1 million
dividend distribution payment and $1.5 million in deferred loan cost payments.

Funds from Operations

      The White Paper on Funds from Operations approved by the Board of
Governors of NAREIT in March 1995 defines Funds from Operations as net income
(loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from debt
restructuring and sales of properties, plus real estate related depreciation and
amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint
ventures. The Company believes that Funds from Operations is helpful to
investors as a measure of the performance of an equity REIT because, 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. The Company computes Funds from Operations in accordance with
standards established by NAREIT which may not be comparable to Funds from
Operations reported by other REIT's that do not define the term in accordance
with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT
definition differently than the Company. Funds from Operations does not
represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and

Inflation

      Substantially all of the office leases provide for separate real estate
tax and operating expense escalations over a base amount. In addition, many of
the leases provide for fixed base rent increases or indexed escalations. The
Company believes that inflationary increases may be at least partially offset by
the contractual rent increases described above.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

      Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 131 ("FAS No. 131")
"Disclosure about segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" is
effective for financial statements issued for periods beginning after December
15, 1997. FAS No. 131 requires disclosures about segments of an enterprise and
related information regarding the different types of business activities in
which an enterprise engages and the different economic environments in which it
operates.

      The Company does not believe that the implementation of FAS No. 131 will
have a material impact on its financial statements.
