responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial

RECKSON SERVICE INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
d/b/a FrontLine Capital Group
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
1. Description of the Company
Reckson Service Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries d/b/a FrontLine Capital
Group ("FrontLine" or the "Company"), was formed on July 15, 1997.
FrontLine is a publicly-traded operating company that identifies,
acquires interests in, and develops a network of business-to-business
("B2B") e-commerce and e-service companies (the "Partner Companies") that
service small and medium sized enterprises, independent professionals and
the mobile workforce of larger companies.
The Company acquires significant, long-term stakes in targeted Partner
Companies, which it incorporates into a collaborative network of
e-commerce and e-services companies, seeking to accelerate their growth
and increasing their likelihood of success. FrontLine has developed an
extensive e-Cooperative platform that allows its Partner Companies to
benefit from its operational and management resources and experience, the
Company's extensive customer base as well as gain significant synergies
from other existing and future Partner Companies. The e-Cooperative
consists of the:
o enterprise Development Group ("eDG") - eDG offers strategic
guidance, organizational design, human resources, recruiting
and technology assistance to its Partner Companies,
o Collaborative network of Partner Companies - Enables Partner
Companies to share collective knowledge and benefit from
cross-selling and cross-marketing business development
opportunities,
o Advisory Board - The Advisory Board of independent industry
professionals will supplement FrontLine's eDG by providing
management guidance to Partner Companies and sourcing new
business opportunities.
The Company's strategy is to continue to expand its network of Partner
Companies and its e-Cooperative platform by pursuing additional
acquisitions that complement and enhance the overall network. FrontLine
seeks to add significant value to its Partner Companies with the goal of
creating industry leaders that have the potential to become public
companies, act as industry consolidators or merge with the proper
strategic partners. FrontLine targets early stage companies that can
benefit from FrontLine's entire franchise and therefore have the
potential to create significant value for FrontLine.
FrontLine seeks to focus its future acquisitions in the Internet sector
by targeting three types of B2B e-commerce and e-services companies:
o Internet-based outsourcing (i.e. companies that utilize the
Internet to enable the outsourcing of non-core business
functions),
o e-commerce and infrastructure (i.e. companies that primarily
deliver or enable the delivery of goods and services over
the Internet),
o Virtual office solutions (i.e. companies that combine a
physical infrastructure with an Internet enabled model to
enhance the delivery of their services).
Although the Company refers to the companies in which it has acquired an
equity and cost ownership interest as its "Partner Companies" and that
it has a "partnership" with these companies, it does not act as an agent
or legal representative for any of these companies, it does not have the
power or authority to legally bind any of its Partner Companies and it
does not have the types of liabilities in relation to its Partner
Companies that a general partner of a partnership would have.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements present the
consolidated financial position of the Company and its majority owned
subsidiaries, VANTAS Incorporated ("VANTAS") and OneXstream.com, Inc. at
December 31, 1999 and 1998 and the results of their operations and their
cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 and for the
period July 15, 1997 to December 31, 1997. All significant intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated
financial statements.
Change in Accounting Principle
In 1999, the Company changed its balance sheet presentation to a
classified balance sheet. The balance sheet in prior years, beginning in
1998, was presented as unclassified. The new method was adopted in
conjunction with the consolidation of VANTAS, a service company, and has
been applied to the prior year's balance sheet to conform to the 1999
presentation. The change has no effect on the consolidated statement of
operations.
Accounting for Ownership Interests in Partner Companies and other
Ownership Interest
The interests that FrontLine acquires in its Partner Companies and other
ownership interest are accounted for under one of three methods:
consolidation, equity method and cost method. The applicable accounting
method is generally determined based on the Company's voting interest
and rights in a Partner Company.
Consolidation. Partner Companies in which the Company directly or
indirectly owns more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities are
generally accounted for under the consolidation method of accounting.
Under this method, a Partner Company's results of operations are
reflected within the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.
All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been
eliminated. Participation of other Partner Company shareholders in the
earnings or losses of a consolidated Partner Company are reflected in
the caption "Minority interest" in the Company's Consolidated Statements
of Operations. Minority interest adjusts the Company's consolidated
results of operations to reflect only the Company's share of the
earnings or losses of the consolidated Partner Company.
Equity Method. Partner Companies and other ownership interests whose
results are not consolidated, but over whom the Company exercises
significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method of
accounting. Whether or not the Company exercises significant influence
with respect to a Partner Company or other ownership interest depends on
an evaluation of several factors including, among others, representation
on the Partner Company's or other ownership interest's Board of
Directors and ownership level, which is generally a 20% to 50% interest
in the voting securities of the Partner Company and other ownership
interests, including voting rights associated with the Company's
holdings in common, preferred and any other convertible instruments in
the Partner Company and other ownership interests. Under the equity
method of accounting, a Partner Company's or other ownership interest's
accounts are not reflected within the Company's Consolidated Statements
of Operations; however, FrontLine's share of the earnings or losses of
the Partner Company or other ownership interest is reflected in the
caption "Equity in earnings (loss) of Partner Companies and other
ownership interests" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The amount by which the Company's carrying value exceeds its share of
the underlying net assets of Partner Companies or other ownership
interests accounted for under the consolidation or equity method of
accounting is amortized on a straight-line basis over 30 years which
adjusts the Company's share of the Partner Company's or other ownership
interest's earnings or losses.
Cost Method. Partner Companies not accounted for under the consolidation
or the equity method of accounting are accounted for under the cost
method of accounting. Under this method, the Company's share of the
earnings or losses of such companies is not included in the Consolidated
Statements of Operations. The Company also recognizes income from
dividends on distributed earnings of its Partner Companies. However,
cost method impairment charges are recognized in the Consolidated
Statement of Operations with the new cost basis not written-up if
circumstances suggest that the value of the Partner Company has
subsequently recovered.

d/b/a FrontLine Capital Group
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
The Company records its ownership interest in debt securities of Partner
Companies accounted for under the cost method at cost as it has the
ability and intent to hold these securities until maturity. The Company
records its ownership interests in equity securities of Partner
Companies accounted for under the cost method at cost, unless these
securities have readily determinable fair values based on quoted market
prices, in which case these interests would be classified as
available-for-sale securities or some other classification in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". In
addition to the Company's investments in voting and non-voting equity
and debt securities, it also periodically makes advances to its Partner
Companies in the form of promissory notes which are accounted for in
accordance with SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of
a Loan".
The Company continually evaluates the carrying value of its ownership
interests in and advances to each of its Partner Companies for possible
impairment based on achievement of business plan objectives and
milestones, the value of each ownership interest in the Partner Company
relative to carrying value, the financial condition and prospects of the
Partner Company, and other relevant factors. The business plan
objectives and milestones the Company considers include, among others,
those related to financial performance such as achievement of planned
financial results or completion of capital raising activities, and those
that are not primarily financial in nature such as the launching of a
web site, business development activities, or the hiring of key
employees. The fair value of the Company's ownership interests in and
advances to privately held Partner Companies is generally determined
based on the value at which independent third parties have invested or
have committed to invest in the Partner Companies.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers highly liquid investments with a maturity of three
months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash
VANTAS has restricted cash of approximately $21.6 million that was held
at December 31, 1999 for future acquisitions of executive office suite
centers.
Revenue Recognition
The Company's operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 1999
were primarily attributable to VANTAS. VANTAS' revenue is derived
primarily from the operation of their executive office suites and the
range of telecommunication and business support services provided to
clients, and are recognized as the related services are provided.
Receivables and Concentration of Credit Risk
VANTAS performs credit evaluations of its clients and generally requires
at least two months' rent as a security deposit. VANTAS facilities are
located primarily throughout the United States, which limits VANTAS'
exposure to certain economic risks, based upon local economic
conditions.
VANTAS' cash balances are held primarily at one financial institution
and may, at times, exceed insurable amounts. VANTAS believes it
mitigates its risk by investing in or through a major financial
institution. Recoverability would be dependent upon the performance of
the institution.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated on
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets
which range from five to seven years. Leasehold improvements are
amortized over the lesser of the term of the related lease or the
estimated useful lives of the assets. As of December 31, 1999,
accumulated depreciation was approximately $14.0 million.
If there is an event or a change in circumstance that indicates that the
basis of the Company's long-lived assets may not be recoverable, the
Company's policy is to assess any impairment in value by making a
comparison of the current and projected operating cash flows of the
asset over its remaining useful life, on an undiscounted basis, to the
carrying amount of the asset. Such carrying amount would be adjusted, if
necessary, to reflect an impairment in the value of the assets.
Deferred Financing Costs
The Company has amortized deferred financing costs over the term of the
related debt. As of December 31, 1999, accumulated amortization was
approximately $2.0 million.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist primarily of goodwill which is the excess of
the purchase price over the net assets of acquired companies by
FrontLine and is being amortized on the straight-line method primarily
over 30 years. As of December 31, 1999 accumulated amortization was
approximately $9.0 million.
If there is an event or change in circumstances that indicates that the
basis of FrontLine's long-lived intangibles may not be recoverable,
FrontLine's policy is to assess any impairment in value by making a
comparison of the current and projected operating cash flows of the
business center for which the intangible relates over its remaining
useful life, on an undiscounted basis, to the carrying amount of the
intangible. Such carrying amount would be adjusted, if necessary, to
reflect an impairment in the value of the intangible assets.
Rent Expense
Generally accepted accounting principles require that rent expense be
recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease.
The difference between the rent expense recognized for financial
reporting purposes and the actual payments made in accordance with the
lease agreement is recognized as a deferred rent liability.
Merger and Integration Costs
VANTAS incurred merger and integration costs during the year ended
December 31, 1999 in connection with its merger with FrontLine. Such
charges consisted primarily of compensation expense, professional fees,
business process re-engineering and other integration costs.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25") and
related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options and
grants because the alternative fair value accounting provided for under
Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") Statement No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," ("FAS 123") requires the use
of option valuation models that were not developed for use in valuing
employee stock options.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Income Taxes
At inception, the Company adopted SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes" ("SFAS 109"), which prescribes an asset and liability method of
accounting for income taxes. Under SFAS 109, deferred tax assets are
recognized for temporary differences that will result in deductible
amounts in future years. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is
more likely than not that some portion of the deferred asset will not be
recognized. The Company has recognized a deferred tax asset of $9.9
million attributable to VANTAS at December 31, 1999. The remaining
deferred tax assets at December 31, 1999 and 1998 have been reserved for
100% due to the uncertainty as to whether these assets will have benefit
in future periods.
VANTAS accounts for income taxes under the liability method which
requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities based upon
the expected future tax consequences of events included in VANTAS'
financial statements and tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between
the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using
enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are
expected to reverse. At December 31, 1999, VANTAS recognized a current
income tax benefit of approximately $2.8 million.
Earnings Per Share
In 1997, the FASB issued Statement No. 128, "Earnings per Share" ("SFAS
128"). SFAS 128 replaced the calculation of primary and fully diluted
earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share. Unlike
primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes any
dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities.
Diluted earnings per share is very similar to the previously reported
fully diluted earnings per share. All earnings per share amounts for all
periods have been presented to conform to the SFAS 128 requirements.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Comprehensive Income
In 1997, the FASB issued Statement No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive
Income ("SFAS 130") which is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1997. SFAS 130 established standards for reporting
comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-purpose
financial statements. SFAS 130 requires that all components of
comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is
displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. The
adoption of this standard had no impact on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments"
requires FrontLine to disclose the estimated fair values of its
financial instrument assets and liabilities. The carrying amounts
approximate fair value for cash and cash equivalents because of the
short maturity of those instruments. For the loans payable to affiliates
and others, the estimated fair value approximates the recorded balance.
Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information
In 1997, the FASB issued Statement No. 131 "Disclosures about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS 131") which is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS 131
establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments
in annual financial statements and in interim financial reports. It also
establishes standards for related disclosures about products and
services, geographic areas and major customers. The adoption of this
standard had no impact on the Company's financial position or results of
operations, but did effect the disclosure of segment information, see
Note 13.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
In June 1999, the FASB issued Statement No.137, amending Statement No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities",
which extended the required date of adoption in the years beginning
after June 15, 2000. The Statement permits early adoption as of the
beginning of any fiscal quarter after its issuance. The Company expects
to adopt the new Statement effective January 1, 2001. The Company does
not anticipate that the adoption of this Statement will have any effect
on its results of operations or financial position.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements
and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
current year presentation.

3. OWNERSHIP INTERESTS IN PARTNER COMPANIES (CONTINUED)
The Company's ownership interests in Partner Companies are summarized as
follows:
EXECUTIVE OFFICE SUITES AND VIRTUAL OFFICE SERVICES
- ---------------------------------------------------
VANTAS and Predecessor Entities
On January 8, 1999, InterOffice Superholdings Corporation ("InterOffice") (36
executive office suite centers) and Reckson Executive Centers, Inc. ("Reckson
Executive") (8 executive office suite centers) merged with Alliance National
Incorporated, a holding company which owned and operated approximately 90
nationally located executive office suite centers (the "Merger"). To
effectuate the merger, the Company contributed approximately $21.4 million of
assets. The merged entity changed its name to VANTAS Incorporated ("VANTAS").
The stockholders of InterOffice and Reckson Executive received convertible
Series C Preferred Stock of VANTAS representing approximately 40% of the
equity interest in VANTAS of which approximately 23% of VANTAS was owned by
the Company as of the merger.
As of December 31, 1999, VANTAS operates 201 business centers in 27 states,
the District of Columbia, France and Mexico and manages 5 others for unrelated
property owners. VANTAS provides fully furnished individual offices and suites
and a full range of telecommunication and business support services to its
clients that generally require 2,000 square feet or less of traditional office
space. VANTAS does not own the real estate in which the business centers are
located.
During the third quarter of 1999, the Company increased its ownership in
VANTAS to approximately 35% on a basic basis and 29% on a diluted basis
through an additional $23.0 million equity ownership interest as a part of a
$30.0 million financing by VANTAS.
Subsequently, the Company entered into a number of stock purchase agreements
with other VANTAS stockholders to increase its ownership to approximately 84%
on a basic basis and 76% on a diluted basis. The terms to acquire these VANTAS
shares were generally to pay 70% of the purchase price in cash and the
remaining 30% in FrontLine stock, which at the time had a value of $19.00 per
share. The closings for these transaction have been taking place periodically
since November 30, 1999 and are anticipated to be completed by March 31, 2000.
As of December 31, 1999, the Company had expended approximately $59.8 million
in cash and issued 1,828,099 shares of its common stock. In closings
subsequent to December 31, 1999, the Company has paid approximately $42.0
million in cash and issued 1,294,103 shares of its common stock. One final
closing remains, at which time the Company will pay a balance of approximately
$1.3 million in cash.
As a result of this stepped acquisition during 1999 of a controlling interest
in VANTAS, the Company changed the accounting method for its investment in
VANTAS from the equity method to consolidation during the fourth quarter of
1999.

OnSite Access
In 1998, the Company had owned a 1% interest on a basic and diluted basis in
On-Site Ventures, LLC, ("On-Site"), a company that provides advanced
telecommunications systems and services within commercial buildings and/or
building complexes. The Company had also advanced On-Site $6.5 million through
December 31, 1998 to fund operating costs under the terms of a 12%
subordinated convertible note.
On April 16, 1999, the Company contributed approximately $5.25 million to
On-Site as part of a $60.0 million private equity financing agreement (the
"Financing Transaction") which included FrontLine and several strategic third
party private equity investors. The equity agreement required the Company to
fund up to $15 million. On July 1, 1999, On- Site merged into OnSite Access,
Inc. ("OnSite Access"), a Delaware corporation whereby, closings were
completed for approximately $20.5 million of additional equity in connection
with the Financing Transaction. The investors, including FrontLine, in the
Financing Transaction were committed to invest the remaining $39.5 million,
subject only to satisfaction of the conditions of the Financing Transaction
and the corporation's call for funds. In addition, in connection with the
merger, the principal and accrued interest outstanding under the $6.5 million
subordinated FrontLine loan was converted into 5,869,000 shares of Preferred
Stock issued to FrontLine. On October 15, 1999, the Company increased its
ownership in OnSite Access by 7% to 36% on a basic basis by issuing 1,731,597
shares of common stock valued at $13.63 per share to another OnSite Access
shareholder. At December 31, 1999, FrontLine had funded its entire capital
commitment and owns approximately 37% and 22% of OnSite Access on a basic and
diluted basis, respectively.

Options granted to officers under the 1998 stock option plan were fully vested
on January 1, 1999. Options granted to new employees vest in three equal
installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of the
grant.
Pursuant to the 1999 stock option plan, 550,000 shares of the 1,750,000 shares
reserved were issued in August 1999. At December 31, 1999, the Company has
recorded deferred compensation of approximately $3.9 million, net of
amortization.
Advisory Board
In December 1999, the Company formed an advisory board to provide its Partner
Companies with strategic guidance and be actively involved in their

Company is amortizing into compensation expense over three years the fair
values of these options determined by the Black-Scholes option valuation
model.
Stock Option Plans
Options granted under the Plans are exercisable at the market price on the
date of the grant and, subject to termination of employment, expire ten years
from date of the grant, are not transferable other than on death.
Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required
by FAS 123, and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its
employee stock options under the fair value method of FAS 123. The fair value
for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes
option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for 1999
and 1998, risk-free interest rate of 5%, no expected dividend yield, a
volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common stock
of 1.367 and 1.723, respectively, and a weighted-average expected life of the
option of 7 years.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating
the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are
fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of
highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility.
Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics
significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in
the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value
estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily
provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock
options.

the closing stock price was $14.9375. Pursuant to financial accounting
guidelines the date for measuring compensation costs would be June 24, 1999.
These awards vest over various periods ranging from six months to three years
and include tax loans which will be forgiven one year thereafter. During the
year ended December 31, 1999, results include approximately $8.5 million or
$0.33 per basic and diluted share, associated with these awards, the majority,
of which is non-cash in nature.

8. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
On June 15, 1998, the Company established a credit facility with Reckson
Operating Partnership, L.P. ("Reckson") in the amount of $100 million
("FrontLine Facility") for their service sector operations and other general
corporate purposes. Reckson has advanced the Company approximately $79.5
million at December 31, 1999. These advances bear interest at 12% per annum.
Additionally, FrontLine established a $100 million RSVP Facility with Reckson
for funding the Reckson Strategic investments. As of December 31, 1999,
Reckson has advanced FrontLine approximately $42.3 million under the RSVP
Facility and has invested approximately $24.8 million under the facility in
joint ventures with Reckson Strategic. The total outstanding at December 31,
1999, owed by FrontLine under both credit facilities was approximately $121.8
million. Interest accrued on these facilities at December 31, 1999, was
approximately $5.5 million. Both of the FrontLine and RSVP facilities expire
in June 2003. Currently, the Company has two short term open letters of
credit totaling $7.7 million, which have been utilized as consideration for
future FrontLine investment acquisitions. These letters of credit decrease the
availability under the FrontLine Facility.
In November 1999, the Board of Directors of both FrontLine and Reckson
approved amendments to the credit facilities necessary in order for FrontLine
to proceed with certain short-term financings for proposed acquisitions. As
consideration for such approvals, FrontLine paid a fee to Reckson in the form
of 176,186 shares of FrontLine common stock which have been valued at $20.31
per share. The fee of approximately $3.6 million has been included in deferred
financing costs and is generally being amortized over the estimated nine month
benefit period.
The Company is entitled to a cumulative annual management fee of $2 million
with respect to Reckson Strategic, of which $1.5 million is subordinate to
Paine Webber receiving an annual minimum rate of return of 16% and a return of
its capital. The unsubordinated amounts for the years ended December 31, 1999
and 1998 were approximately $.5 million and $.4 million, respectively.
The Company reimburses Reckson with respect to general and administrative
expenses (including payroll expenses) incurred by Reckson for the benefit of
the Company. These services include payroll, human resources and accounting
services. During 1999 and 1998, the Company reimbursed approximately $.5
million and $.4 million, respectively, for such activities.

9. OTHER OWNERSHIP INTEREST
Reckson Strategic Venture Partners, LLC ("Reckson Strategic") was formed on
March 5,1998 to invest in operating companies with experienced management
teams in real estate and real estate related market sectors which are in the
early stages of their growth cycle or offer unique circumstances for
attractive investments, as well as platforms for future growth. Through RSVP
Holdings, LLC ("Holdings"), the Company is a managing member and 100% owner of
the common equity of Reckson Strategic. New World Realty, LLC, an entity owned
by two individuals retained by Holdings, (the "RSVP Managing Directors"), acts
as a managing member of Holdings, and have a carried interest which provides
for the RSVP Managing Directors to receive a share in the profits of Reckson
Strategic after the Company and Paine Webber Real Estate Securities, Inc.,
("Paine Webber") have received certain minimum returns and a return of
capital. Paine Webber is a non-managing member and preferred equity owner who
has committed $200 million in capital (the "Preferred Equity Facility") and
shares in profits and losses of Reckson Strategic with the Company, subject to
a maximum internal rate of return of 16% of invested capital. On April 24,
1998, Paine Webber assigned 25% of its preferred equity interest in Reckson
Strategic, representing an unfunded capital commitment of $50 million to
Stratum Realty Fund, L.P. ("Stratum"). The assignment provided Stratum with
similar rights and priorities. On March 17, 1999, Paine Webber transferred all
of its rights, title and interest in its initial invested capital to Stratum.
This transfer included the right to distributions based upon the amount of
funded capital contributions. As a result of this transfer, Stratum has funded
its entire $50 million commitment as of December 31, 1999.

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On January 21, 2000, the Company executed an agreement and plan of
merger of two executive suites companies (the "Merger"), HQ Global
Workplaces, and VANTAS. The merged company will retain the name HQ Global
Workplaces ("HQ Global") and will become the world's largest virtual
and physical workplace solutions provider.
In connection with the Merger, (i) each share of the common stock of
VANTAS will be converted into the right to receive $8.00 per share in
cash and (ii) each share of the convertible preferred stock of VANTAS
that is outstanding will be converted into the right to receive that
number of shares of the surviving corporation that equal to the product
of the number of shares of the common stock of VANTAS that such
stockholder would have been entitled to receive had it converted its
shares immediately prior to the Merger and the Conversion Ratio (as
defined in the Merger Agreement), subject, in each case, to adjustment
as provided in the Merger Agreement. In connection with the Merger,
VANTAS established a $35 million letter of credit as a deposit. In the
event the Merger is not consummated under certain circumstances, this
letter of credit is collateralized by 15,057,487 shares of VANTAS that
are owned by FrontLine and guaranteed by FrontLine on a nonrecourse
basis.
As part of the transaction, the owners of HQ Global Workplaces will
receive $380 million in cash (inclusive of the repayment of indebtedness
of HQ's credit facility) and approximately 19 percent of the equity in
HQ Global. It is anticipated that FrontLine will own approximately 50
percent of HQ Global. This transaction is expected to be funded with
bank debt of HQ Global and equity. The transaction is anticipated to
close in April 2000. As a result of the merger, it is anticipated that
HQ Global will be consolidated into FrontLine.

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
BUSINESS
VANTAS Incorporated and Subsidiaries (the "Company"), previously known as
ALLIANCE NATIONAL Incorporated, operate 201 business centers in 27 states and
the District of Columbia, Mexico and France, and manage 5 others for unrelated
property owners, as of December 31, 1999. The Company provides fully furnished
individual offices and suites and a full range of telecommunication and
business support services to its clients that generally require 2,000 square
feet or less of traditional office space. The Company does not own the real
estate in which the business centers are located. The Company, through its
OfficeAccess(TM) plan, also provides full-time telephone answering and mail
room services with access to conference room facilities for businesses and
individuals that do not require offices on a full-time basis.
In 1998, the Company changed its fiscal year end from June 30 to December 31.
For clarity of presentation herein, the period from July 1, 1998 to December 31,
1998 is referred to as the "Transition Period Ended December 31, 1998" or
"Transition Period."
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of VANTAS
Incorporated and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The minority interest
represented the minority partners' proportionate share of the net equity of the
Company's consolidated partnerships as of June 30, 1997 and 1998. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Office rental revenue and support services revenue are recognized as the related
services are provided.
CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with maturities of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.
<PAGE>
VANTAS Incorporated and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated on the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range
from 5-7 years. The Enterprise Resource System is being amortized over 7 years.
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the term of the related
lease or the estimated useful lives of the assets.
In March 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the AICPA issued
Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1, ACCOUNTING FOR THE COSTS OF COMPUTER SOFTWARE
DEVELOPED OR OBTAINED FOR INTERNAL USE. The SOP, which was adopted by the
Company as of January 1, 1999 in connection with the development of their
Enterprise Resource System, requires the capitalization of certain costs
incurred in connection with developing or obtaining internal use software.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets consist primarily of goodwill which is the excess of the
purchase price over the net assets of acquired companies and is being amortized
on the straight-line method primarily over 30 years.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
If there is an event or change in circumstances that indicates that the basis of
the Company's long-lived assets or intangibles may not be recoverable, the
Company's policy is to assess any impairment in value by making a comparison of
the current and projected operating cash flows of the asset or the business
center for which the intangible relates over its remaining useful life, on an
undiscounted basis, to the carrying amount of the asset or intangible. Such
carrying amount would be adjusted, if necessary, to reflect an impairment in the
value of the assets or intangibles.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS
The Company amortizes deferred financing costs over the term of the related
debt. As of December 31, 1998 and 1999, accumulated amortization was
approximately $675,000 and $1,394,000, respectively.
RECEIVABLES AND CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Company leases office space and provides support services to clients in
various industries, ranging in size from small entrepreneurial entities to local
offices of international corporations. The Company performs credit evaluations
of its clients and generally requires at least two months' rent as a security
deposit. The Company's facilities are primarily located throughout the United
States which limits the Company's exposure to certain economic risks, based upon
local economic conditions.
Cash balances are held primarily at one financial institution and may, at times,
exceed insurable amounts. The Company believes it mitigates its risk by
investing in or through a major financial institution. Recoverability is
dependent upon the performance of the institution.
RENT EXPENSE
Generally accepted accounting principles require that rent expense be recognized
on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease. The difference
between the rent expense recognized for financial reporting purposes and the
actual payments made in accordance with the lease agreement is recognized as a
deferred rent liability.
Rent expense charged to operations for the years ended June 30, 1997, 1998, the
Transition Period and the year ended December 31, 1999 exceeded actual rental
payments by approximately $528,000, $823,000, $491,000 and $5,969,000,
respectively.
As of December 31, 1998 and 1999, the deferred rent liability includes
approximately $3,709,000 and $14,400,000, respectively, of deferred credits
relating to tenant improvements, which are reimbursed or paid by landlords and
amortized against rent expense over the life of the leases.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method which requires
recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities based upon the expected
future tax consequences of events included in the Company's financial statements
and tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases
of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in
which the differences are expected to reverse.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,
"Earnings per Share," basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net
income applicable to common stock by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net
income by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
and the dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities.
RECENTLY ISSUED PRONOUNCEMENTS
In fiscal 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE
INCOME. SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and presentation of
comprehensive income and its components in a full set of financial statements.
The Company has no significant "other comprehensive income" to report for any of
the periods presented.
In fiscal 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 131, DISCLOSURES ABOUT SEGMENTS OF
AN ENTERPRISE AND RELATED INFORMATION. The Company operates and manages its
business in one segment, providing business outsourcing services.
ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires the Company's management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the
reporting period. The most significant assumptions and estimates
<PAGE>
VANTAS Incorporated and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
ESTIMATES (CONTINUED)
relate to depreciable lives and recoverability of long-lived assets and
intangibles. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current
period presentation.
3. ACQUISITIONS
Effective January 1, 1999, two newly formed subsidiaries of the Company were
merged (the "Mergers") with and into InterOffice Superholding Corporation
("InterOffice") and Reckson Executive Centers, Inc. ("REC"), respectively.
InterOffice and REC collectively owned forty-five business centers. As a result
of the Mergers, InterOffice and REC became wholly-owned subsidiaries of the
Company and the former shareholders of such entities received 13,325,424 shares
of the Company's Series C Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series C Preferred
Stock"), and the Company received $8.4 million in cash.
In addition to the Mergers described above, the Company acquired 42 business
centers, in 11 acquisitions, for an aggregate purchase price of $43.6 million
during the year ended December 31, 1999.
All acquisitions are recorded under the purchase method of accounting.

The Company incurred merger and integration charges of approximately $26.7
million during the year ended December 31, 1999, in connection with the Mergers
and certain transactions with Reckson Service Industries ("RSI"), the Company's
principal shareholder. Such charges consisted primarily of compensation expense
pursuant to the RSI transactions of $23.7 million (see below) and professional
fees, business process reengineering and other integration costs related to the
Mergers, which aggregated approximately $3.0 million.
On October 29, 1999, RSI entered into agreements with certain shareholders of

members of the Board, relating to the purchase of a portion of such
shareholders' securities in the Company, including common stock related to the

options. These notes are included as a reduction to stockholders' equity. The
difference between the fair market value of the RSI shares received by the
employees and the cost of the Company's common stock amounted to approximately
$12.5 million and was recorded as compensation expense and an increase to
additional paid-in capital. In addition, under the terms of the agreements, the
Company was obligated to pay applicable income taxes of approximately $339,000

deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of the evidence, it is more
likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized. Accordingly, a $4,515,000 valuation allowance is required at December
31, 1999.
At December 31, 1999, the Company has available unused net operating loss

13. STOCK OPTION PLANS
During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company's Board of Directors
approved the adoption of the 1999 Stock Option Plan ("1999 Plan"). The 1999 Plan
provides for the issuance of either incentive or non-qualified stock options to
key employees, directors and consultants. Under the 1999 Plan, options may be
granted at prices, terms and vesting to be determined by the Company's Board of
Directors. Incentive stock options shall not have an exercise price less than
the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of the grant.
Options granted under this plan expire ten years from the date of grant and vest
over a three-year period. Under certain conditions, these options may vest on an
accelerated basis. The maximum aggregate number of shares of Class A Common
Stock available for award under the 1999 Plan shall be 2,851,000, subject to
adjustment for stock splits, dividends or otherwise. During 1999, non-qualified
stock options to purchase 2,214,000 shares were granted under this plan. There
were no incentive stock options granted in 1999. At December 31, 1999,
non-qualified options to purchase 2,075,000 shares were outstanding under the
plan after the reduction of 139,000 forfeitures during 1999. None of such shares
were vested at December 31, 1999. There were 776,000 option shares available for
grant at December 31, 1999.
During the Transition Period, options were granted by the Company's Board of
Directors to a key executive, to acquire 200,000 shares of common stock. The
options vested immediately and expire five years from the date of grant.
During fiscal 1997, the Company's Board of Directors approved the adoption of
the 1996 Stock Option Plan ("1996 Plan"). The 1996 Plan provided for the
issuance of non-qualified stock options to key employees, directors and
consultants. Under the 1996 Plan, options were granted at prices determined by
the Company's Board of Directors, but in no case were priced less than $2.00 per
share. Options granted under this plan expire ten years from the date of grant
and vest over a ten-year period. As a result of certain transactions during
1999, all of the Company's outstanding stock options issued under the 1996 Stock
Option Plan became fully vested. Options granted during fiscal 1997 and 1998 to
acquire 1,225,000 and 220,750 shares of common stock, respectively, were granted
under this plan. At December 31, 1999, 766,256 options were outstanding and
fully vested under the 1996 Plan and no further options were available for
grant.

13. STOCK OPTION PLANS (CONTINUED)
Certain options, granted in 1996 and 1997, prior to the adoption of the 1996
Plan, generally vested immediately, expire five years from the date of grant and
are exercisable at prices that in the Board's opinion were equal to or exceeded
the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant.
Certain options granted in 1996, to acquire 440,000 shares of common stock
expire seven years from the date of grant and vest over a three-year period. At
December 31, 1999, 940,000 of such options were outstanding and fully vested.

13. STOCK OPTION PLANS (CONTINUED)
The exercise prices for options outstanding as of December 31, 1999 range from
$2.00 to $6.00 per share. The weighted average remaining contractual life for
options outstanding as of December 31, 1999 is approximately 7 years.
The Company has elected to adopt the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation". Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized with regard
to options granted under the Plan in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements. If stock-based compensation costs had been recognized based on the
estimated fair values at the dates of grant for options awarded during the years
ended June 30, 1997 and 1998, the Transition Period Ended December 31, 1998 and
the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company's net income and earnings per
share would have been as follows :

average assumptions used for grants for the years ended June 30, 1997 and 1998,
the Transition Period Ended December 31, 1998 and the year ended December 31,
1999, respectively: no dividend yield; expected volatility of 0%, risk free
interest rates of 6.2%, 5.7%, 5.3% and 5.4%, respectively; and expected lives
approximating 5 years.

14. BENEFIT PLAN
The Company has a 401(k) voluntary savings and investment plan (the "Plan") open
to all employees who meet certain minimum requirements. The Company can make
voluntary contributions to the Plan not to exceed 6% of eligible participant
compensation. Participants vest 100% in Company contributions after 3 years of
service. The Company contributed approximately $21,000, $95,000, $86,000 and
$507,000 to the Plan for the years ended June 30, 1997 and 1998, the Transition
Period Ended December 31, 1998 and the year ended December 31, 1999,
respectively.
15. REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
In connection with the Mergers, the Company authorized 15,000,000 shares of
Series C Preferred Stock, which ranks on parity with the Company's Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series A
Preferred Stock" and "Series B Preferred Stock", respectively). Except for
certain class voting rights and except for the conversion feature described
below, the Series C Preferred Stock has substantially identical terms as the
Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock. If the original holders
of the Series C Preferred Stock or certain of their permitted transferees are
the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock at the time of conversion thereof,
the Series C Preferred Stock will be converted into Class B Common Stock ("Class
B Common Stock") which will have identical terms and conditions as the Company's
Class A Common Stock ("Class A Common Stock") (formerly the Common Stock),
except that such Class B Common Stock will carry the right to elect a specified
number of directors, not to exceed four, following an initial public offering.
During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company authorized 5,200,000 shares
and issued 5,109,873 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series D
Preferred Stock") at $5.25 per share for net proceeds of approximately $26.5
million (net of issuance costs of $284,450). The Series D Preferred Stock has a
liquidation preference of $5.25 per share.
The Series D Preferred Stock ranks pari passu with the Company's Series E
Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series E Preferred Stock"), and senior to the
Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and
Common Stock, with respect to liquidation. The Series D Preferred Stock is
convertible into the Company's Class B Common Stock on a one-for-one basis, or
at the election of the shareholder into the Company's Class A Common Stock.

15. REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK (CONTINUED)
During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company authorized 1,000,000 shares
and issued 604,413 shares of Series E Preferred Stock at $5.25 per share for net
proceeds of approximately $3.1 million (net of issuance costs of $99,467). The
Series E Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $5.25 per share. The
Series E Preferred Stock ranks pari passu with the Company's Series D Preferred
Stock, and senior to the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock,
Series C Preferred Stock and Common Stock with respect to liquidation. The
Series E Preferred Stock is convertible into the Company's Class A Common Stock
on a one-for-one basis.
During the Transition Period, the Company issued 817,853 shares of Series B
Preferred Stock to acquire the remaining interests in all of its seven
controlled partnerships. Concurrent with this transaction, the Company issued
480,236 shares of Series B Preferred Stock for net proceeds of $2,266,121 (net
of issuance costs of $15,000). The Company also issued 200,000 shares of
Series B Preferred Stock to a key executive in exchange for a recourse note of
$950,000, due on August 4, 2001, bearing interest at the rate of 5.48%,
payable annually.
During fiscal 1998, the Company authorized 3,500,000 shares and issued 1,730,062
shares of Series B Preferred Stock for net proceeds of $7,874,400 (net of
issuance costs of $343,395). In connection with the Series B Preferred Stock
offering, the Company issued 54,380 warrants to purchase the Company's common
stock. The warrants are exercisable at $4.75 per share and the 15,810 remaining
outstanding warrants expire on April 30, 2003.
During fiscal 1997, the Company authorized and issued 7,574,711 shares of Series
A Preferred Stock for net proceeds of $11,257,610 (net of issuance costs of
$1,430,455) and the conversion of $220,000 in notes payable to directors. In
connection with the Series A Preferred Stock offering, the Company issued
1,488,119 warrants to purchase the Company's common stock.
The Series A and Series B Preferred Stock rank on a parity with each other and
with the Series C Preferred Stock and senior to the Company's common stock with
respect to payment of dividends and liquidation preferences. The holders of
Preferred Stock are entitled to non-cumulative cash dividends when and as
declared by the Company's Board of Directors in an amount equal to any
equivalent per share cash dividend declared on the common stock. The shares of
the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock
<PAGE>
VANTAS Incorporated and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
15. REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK (CONTINUED)
are convertible, in whole or in part, at any time prior to November 15, 2004, at
the option of the holder, into an equivalent number of shares of Class A Common
Stock (subject to adjustments for certain dilutive events). Mandatory conversion
of such shares into Class A Common Stock will occur at the conversion rate
described in the preceding sentence upon an initial public offering meeting
certain quantitative standards.
Upon the occurrence of certain liquidation events, the holders of Preferred
Stock shall be entitled to receive an amount per share equal to $1.7041 (in
the case of the Series A Preferred Stock), $4.75 (in the case of the Series B
Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock) or $5.25 (in the case of Series
D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock), plus a cumulative return
computed on each such amount at the rate of 8% per annum for the period for
which such shares were outstanding less the aggregate amount of all declared
and paid cash dividends on such shares, if any. The holders of Preferred Stock
are entitled to vote, on any matter requiring shareholder vote, equivalent to
the number of shares of common stock into which such shares are convertible.
In the event that there has not been an initial public offering or a merger
involving the Company, in each case meeting certain standards, by November 15,
2001, the holders of the outstanding shares of the preferred stock may require
the Company to repurchase (the "Put") such shares at a price per share equal
to the greater of (i) $1.7041 (in the case of the Series A Preferred Stock),
$4.75 (in the case of the Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred
Stock), and $5.25 (in the case of Series D Preferred Stock and Series E
Preferred Stock) plus a cumulative return computed on each such amount at the
rate of 8% per annum for the period for which such shares were outstanding
less the aggregate amount of all declared and paid cash dividends on such
shares, if any, or (ii) the appraised value of the common stock into which the
Preferred Stock is then convertible. The exercise of the Put requires
participation by 66-2/3% of the then outstanding series of Preferred Stock and
is subject to the consent of the Company's senior lender.
In connection with the Put, at each balance sheet date the Company is accreting
the difference between the carrying value of the preferred stock and the
estimated maximum repurchase price as a reduction in retained earnings. The
aggregate reduction as of December 31, 1999, was $34,701,977.

17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (CONTINUED)
On January 20, 2000, the Company executed an agreement and plan of merger (the
"HQ Merger Agreement") pursuant to which the Company will be merged (the "HQ
Merger") with and into HQ Global Workplaces, Inc. ("HQ").
In connection with the HQ Merger, (i) each share of the common stock of the
Company will be converted into the right to receive $8.00 per share in cash;
(ii) each share of the convertible preferred stock of the Company that is
outstanding will be converted into the right to receive that number of shares of
the surviving corporation that equal to the product of the number of shares of
the common stock of the Company that such shareholder would have been entitled
to receive had it converted its shares immediately prior to the HQ Merger and
the Conversion Ratio (as defined in the HQ Merger Agreement); and (iii) each
option and warrant to purchase the common stock of the Company, other than
options under the 1996 Plan, will be converted into the right to receive a per
share cash amount equal to $8.00, less the exercise price for such options or
warrants, as the case may be, subject, in each case, to adjustment as provided
in the HQ Merger Agreement. In connection with the HQ Merger, the Company
established a $35 million letter of credit as a deposit to HQ in the event the
HQ Merger is not consummated under certain circumstances.
Effective January 2000, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company acquired the
stock of an entity that owned a business center for a cash purchase price of
$779,000.
