                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


    1.  CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

        The consolidated balance sheets, the consolidated statements of
      operations for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and March 31, 1994,
      and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended
      March 31, 1995 and March 31, 1994 are unaudited.  In the opinion of
      management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring
      adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results
      of operations and changes in cash flows at March 31, 1995 and March 31,
      1994 have been made.

        Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
      financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
      accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  These Consolidated
      Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
      statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 1994 Annual Report
      to Shareholders.  The results of operations for the period ended March
      31, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the
      full year.

        Effective in the first quarter of 1995, to be consistent with the
      prevalent real estate industry practice, the Company changed the
      presentation of its consolidated statements of operations to show tenant
      reimbursements of expenses, previously offset against operating expenses,
      as part of revenues.  Prior period's amounts have been reclassified to
      conform with the current year's presentation.

    2.  EMERGENCE FROM CHAPTER 11

        On March 15, 1995, the Company paid holders of allowed general
      unsecured claims in full, together with accrued interest in respect of
      their claims.  Such payments aggregated $24,005,000.  The Official
      Committee of Unsecured Creditors has been dissolved and all secured and
      unsecured creditors having allowed claims in the Bankruptcy Court cases
      have received the cash payments or debt instruments contemplated to be
      delivered to them under the Plan.  A number of claims are being disputed
      by the Company and therefore are not allowed claims.  An escrow account
      has been established for the resolution of these claims (see Note 4).
      The Bankruptcy Court has retained jurisdiction to resolve these disputed
      claims and for other limited purposes.

        The Company's ability to operate as a viable real estate company
      depends on the successful  development of certain of its properties and
      on its ability to repay or refinance its debts when they become due.  In
      order to do this, the Company may need to raise additional capital.

    3.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS


        Steven Roth is Chief Executive Officer and a Director of the Company,
      the Managing General Partner of Interstate Properties ("Interstate") and
      Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Vornado Realty Trust
      ("Vornado").  Interstate owns 27.1% of the outstanding common stock of
      the Company and owns 27.7% of the outstanding common shares of beneficial
      interest of Vornado.  In addition, Mr. Roth owns 3.7% of the outstanding
      common shares of beneficial interest of Vornado.  Mr. Roth, Interstate
      and the other two general partners of Interstate own, in the aggregate,
      32.8% of the outstanding common shares of beneficial interest of Vornado.
      Vornado owns 29.3% of the outstanding common stock of the Company,
      including 27.1% purchased on March 2, 1995.

                                AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


        On March 2, 1995, the Company and Vornado entered into a three-year
      management and development agreement (the "Management Agreement").  The
      annual fee to Vornado (payable in monthly installments) is $3,000,000,
      plus 6% of development costs with a minimum guaranteed fee for the
      development portion of $1,650,000 in the first year and $750,000 in each
      of the second and third years.

        The fee pursuant to the Management Agreement is in addition to the
      leasing fee the Company pays to Vornado under the leasing agreement (the
      "Leasing Agreement") which has been in effect since 1992.  Subject to the
      payment of rents by tenants, Vornado is due $12,255,000, payable annually
      in an amount not to exceed $2,500,000, until the present value of such
      installments (calculated at a discount rate of 9% per annum) equals the
      amount that would have been paid had it been paid on September 21, 1993,
      or at the time the transactions which gave rise to the commissions
      occurred, if later.  The term of the Leasing Agreement has been extended
      to be coterminous with the term of the Management Agreement.

        On March 15, 1995, the Company borrowed $45,000,000 from Vornado, the
      subordinated tranche of a $75,000,000 secured financing(see Note 4 (2)).

        Effective March 2, 1995, for a three-year period, Vornado and
      Interstate agreed not to own in excess of two-thirds of the Company's
      common stock or to enter into certain other transactions with the
      Company, other than the transactions described above, without the consent
      of the Company's independent directors.


    4.  DEBT AND RESTRICTED CASH

        During the quarter ended March 31, 1995, the Company borrowed
      $121,631,000.  The proceeds of these borrowings were used (i) to repay
      $39,552,000 of outstanding funded debt, and $24,005,000 of allowed
      general unsecured claims and (ii) to fund (a) interest-bearing escrow
      accounts for unpaid real estate taxes ($7,000,000) and the remaining
      disputed claims in the Bankruptcy Court cases as they become allowed
      ($8,000,000), and (b) collateral accounts for the Rego Park construction
      ($6,000,000).  Substantially all of the assets of the Company and its
      subsidiaries have been pledged and/or mortgaged to secure such
      indebtedness.  The borrowings consist of:

        (1) A $25,000,000 five year loan maturing February 24, 2000, secured
      principally by, a mortgage on the Company's Fordham Road property and
      guaranteed by the parent.  The loan bears annual interest at 30 day LIBOR
      +4.25% (10.38% at March 31, 1995), capped at LIBOR 9.75% (all-in rate,
      14%) and requires amortization based on a 20 year term with an assumed
      interest rate of 9 1/2%.  Beginning in year four, all cash flow of the
      property, after debt service, will further amortize the loan.  The loan
      is not prepayable for the first six months of its term and is only
      prepayable with yield maintenance during the next twelve months in the
      event of certain types of refinancings.  For the remainder of the term,
      it is prepayable without penalty.  The loan contains customary mortgage
      covenants, including, among others, a default by the existing tenant.
      Further, in the event debt service coverage falls below certain levels or
      the existing tenant's financial condition, as defined, deteriorates, then
      during the first three years of the loan term, all cash flow of the
      property, after debt service, will be escrowed with the lender.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



        (2) A $75,000,000 three-year loan secured by mortgages on all of the
      Company's assets and/or pledges of the stock of subsidiaries owning the
      assets and/or guarantees of such subsidiaries and the parent.  The loan
      bears interest at a blended rate of 13.8% per annum for the first two
      years and is comprised of two separate notes of $45,000,000 to Vornado
      and $30,000,000 to a bank.  Each note is separately secured by the
      collateral described above.  The Vornado loan is subordinate to that of
      the bank and bears interest at 16.43% per annum for the first two years
      and at a fixed rate for the third year of 992 basis points over the
      one-year Treasury bill rate.  The bank's loan bears interest at 9.86% for
      the first two years and at a fixed rate for the third year of 325 basis
      points over the one-year Treasury bill rate.  The Company paid a loan
      origination fee to Vornado and the bank of $1,500,000 and $375,000,
      respectively.  The loans are prepayable at the end of the second year of
      their term without penalty.  The loans contain customary covenants
      including, among others, lease approval rights, limitations on additional
      debt, dividends, acquisitions, mergers, property sales and restrict the
      Company from developing property without signed leases for more than 50%
      of such property's leasable space.  At March 31, 1995, no dividends can
      be paid unless required to maintain Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT")
      status.

        (3) A two year $60,000,000 construction loan and a two year $25,000,000
      bridge loan from a bank, each secured by a mortgage on the Rego Park
      property.  As of March 31, 1995, approximately $21,600,000 was funded
      under such loans.  The loans mature on April 1, 1997 (but may be
      extended, subject to certain conditions, for an additional year) and bear
      annual interest at (i) LIBOR plus 1.625% or (ii) the greater of (a)
      Federal Funds Rate plus 1.125% or (b) prime plus 0.625%, at the option of
      the Company (8.19% at March 31, 1995). The ability of the Company to
      borrow the $25,000,000 under the bridge loan is based on conditions that
      cannot be met today and may not be met during the term of this loan.  The
      Company has not relied on this amount in its determination of its ability
      to fund its current cash needs but believes that it will be able to
      refinance the Rego Park property at a level exceeding $60,000,000 upon
      the completion of construction and commencement of tenants paying rent.

        In addition to the above, in January 1995, the Seven Thirty One Limited
      Partnership ("the Partnership"), redeemed the first portion of the
      outside 731 Limited Partners' interest by giving such limited partners a
      promissory note due in August 1998 in the amount of $21,812,000 (the
      "Note").  The Note bears annual interest at Prime plus 1% and is secured
      by a third mortgage on the Lexington Avenue property.  The outside 731
      Limited Partners have the right to put their remaining 7.64% interest to
      the Partnership until October 1998, in exchange for a five year secured
      note in the principal amount of $15,000,000, bearing annual interest at
      Prime plus 1%.

    5.  INCOME TAXES

        The Company intends to file, with its Federal income tax return for
      1995, an election to be treated as a REIT for Federal income tax
      purposes.  As a result of the Company's intention to elect to be taxed as
      a REIT, the deferred tax balance of $1,406,000 at December 31, 1994 was
      reversed, resulting in an income tax benefit in the quarter ended March
      31, 1995.  At March 31, 1995, net operating loss carryovers of
      approximately $115,000,000 are available to offset both future taxable
      income and the amount of the Company's REIT taxable income that otherwise
      would be required to be distributed to stockholders.

    6.  CONTINGENCIES

       Paramus Property

        The State of New Jersey has notified the Company of its intention to
      condemn a portion of the Paramus property.  The New Jersey Department of
      Transportation ("DOT") has recently made an offer to purchase the land
      which is the subject of the condemnation proceeding for $15,400,000 based
      on an appraisal performed on their behalf.  The Company and the DOT
      expect to commence negotiations to attempt to reach agreement on the
      value.  In the event that the Company and the DOT do not reach agreement
      on the value, a formal process will be initiated by the DOT, pursuant to
      which, among other things, a group of independent commissioners will be
      appointed by a court to determine fair market value.  If the condemnation
      occurs, the Company will be required to change its development plans,
      Home Depot and B.J.'s Wholesale Clubs will not be obligated under their
      current leases, and the time and cost to develop the Paramus property may
      materially increase.

      Lexington Avenue Property

        The Company believes that, along with a number of other locations, a
      portion of the Lexington Avenue property is being considered by the Port
      Authority of New York and New Jersey (the "Port Authority") for the site
      of the terminus for a rail link from midtown Manhattan to LaGuardia and
      Kennedy Airports.  In June 1994, the Federal Aviation Administration
      ("FAA") and the New York State Department of Transportation ("NYDOT")
      released a draft environmental impact statement ("DEIS") and Section 4(f)
      Evaluation (the "DEIS and Section 4(f) Evaluation") of the Port
      Authority's proposed rail link.  On December 15, 1994, the Company
      submitted a letter of comment and a report to the U.S. Department of
      Transportation, the FAA and the NYDOT on the DEIS and Section 4(f)
      Evaluation pursuant to the period of public comment.  The Company
      expressed its opposition to the consideration of a portion of the
      Lexington Avenue property for the site of the terminus.  Approval of
      numerous Federal, New York State and New York City agencies are required
      before construction could begin.  The Company does not know whether the
      rail link terminus project will be undertaken or, if undertaken, the
      timing of the project and whether the Lexington Avenue property will be
      chosen as the site of the terminus.

        If the project proceeds and the Port Authority selects a portion of the
      Lexington Avenue property for such use and can establish that it is
      needed to serve a public use, benefit or purpose, the Port Authority,
      after conducting the requisite public hearings, may acquire such portion
      of the Lexington Avenue property pursuant to its powers of eminent
      domain.  The Company has the right to appeal any such action by the Port
      Authority.  If the Port Authority prevails, the Company would be entitled
      to compensation for its loss.  Since the nature and scope of any plans
      being considered by the Port Authority, and whether any such plans would
      ultimately affect the Lexington Avenue property, cannot be fully assessed
      by the Company at this time, it is impossible to determine the ultimate
      effect that a taking, or any uncertainty with respect thereto, would have
      on the Company's use or development of the Lexington Avenue property.

      Tax Certiorari Proceedings

        Alexander's Department Stores of Valley Stream, Inc. ("ADS of Valley
      Stream") is a party to a tax certiorari proceeding against The Board of
      Assessors and The Board of Assessment Review of the County of Nassau (the
      "Board") for overpayment of taxes on its former Valley Stream store
      property during the assessment rolls for May 1, 1986 through May 1, 1992.
      On January 12, 1995, the Supreme Court of Nassau County, New York ruled
      that ADS of Valley Stream is entitled to an assessment reduction which
      would result in a refund of approximately $6,600,000, plus interest
      (currently, $3,100,000).  Both the Board and the Company have appealed
      the Court's decision.


      Environmental Matters

        The results of a 1993 Phase I environmental assessment at the Kings
      Plaza property show that certain adjacent properties owned by third
      parties have experienced petroleum hydrocarbon contamination.  Based on
      this assessment and additional investigation of the Kings Plaza property
      and historical operations at the site, the Company believes there is a
      potential for hydrocarbon contamination on the Kings Plaza property.
      However, no contamination has been found on the property to date.

                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    The industry practice of REIT's is to consider funds from operations an
appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance.  The Company's funds
from operations were a negative $1,163,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 1995,
as compared to a positive $1,149,000 in the prior year's quarter.

    The following table reconciles funds from operations and pre-tax income:

    Funds from operations does not represent cash generated from operating
activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is
not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs.  Funds from
operations should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an
indicator of the Company's operating performance or as an alternative to cash
flows as a measure of liquidity.

    The Company's revenues were $3,423,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 1995,
compared to $3,181,000 in the prior year's quarter, an increase of $242,000 or
7.6%.  This increase resulted primarily from an increase in the income derived
from the operation of the Kings Plaza Shopping Center and Marina.

    Operating, general and administrative expenses were $1,551,000 in the
quarter ended March 31, 1995, compared to $1,094,000 in the prior year's
quarter, an increase of $457,000.  This increase resulted primarily from
commencement of salary to the Chairman of the Board of Directors and fees under
the Management Agreement.

    Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31,
1995, did not change significantly from such expense for the prior year's
period.

    Reorganization costs were $1,616,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 1995,
compared to $646,000 in the prior year's quarter, an increase of $970,000.  The
increase was due primarily to higher professional fees incurred in connection
with investigating financing alternatives, becoming a REIT and bankruptcy
expenses.

    Interest and debt expense was $2,739,000 in the quarter ended March 31,
1995, as compared to $596,000 in the prior year's quarter, an increase of
$2,143,000.  Of this increase, $1,808,000 resulted from increased borrowings
and $556,000 resulted from the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs on
debt repaid.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS




    The Company recorded a pre-tax gain of $161,000 in the first quarter of
1994 from the sale of an approximately 20,000 square foot warehouse in the
Bronx, New York.

    Interest and other income for the three months ended March 31, 1995, did
not change significantly from such amount for the prior year's period.

    As a result of the Company's intention to elect to be taxed as a REIT for
the year ended December 31, 1995, the deferred tax balance of $1,406,000 at
December 31, 1994 was reversed, resulting in an income tax benefit in the
quarter ended March 31, 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    On March 31, 1995, the Company had cash (including short-term investments)
of $30,200,000 compared to $2,400,000 at December 31, 1994, an increase of
$27,800,000.  The increase in cash resulted primarily from new borrowings of
$121,600,000, partially offset by (i) deferred finance and debt expense of
$5,200,000,  (ii) debt repayments of $39,600,000, (iii) payments of general
unsecured claims (including principal and interest) of $24,000,000, (iv) cash
restricted of $21,000,000 to fund (a) interest bearing escrow accounts for
unpaid real estate taxes ($7,000,000) and the remaining disputed claims in the
bankruptcy court cases as they become allowed ($8,000,000), and (b) collateral
accounts required for the Rego Park construction ($6,000,000) and (v) capital
expenditures of $3,700,000.  Substantially all of the assets of the Company and
its subsidiaries have been pledged and/or mortgaged to secure new borrowings.

    In connection with the Company's redevelopment plans for its Rego Park
property, the Company expects to incur expenditures, during the balance of
1995, for a new parking structure and other improvements of $31,000,000 -
$33,000,000, which amount will be funded under a $60,000,000 construction loan
of which $21,600,000 is outstanding at March 31, 1995.

    The Company estimates that its capital expenditure requirements for other
projects will include the asbestos removal, building demolition and other
improvements at the Paramus property which are expected to cost between
$15,000,000 and $17,000,000, and an estimated $10,000,000 expenditure that will
be needed to subdivide the existing space and other improvements at the Kings
Plaza Store property.  There is no assurance that the other projects will
commence in 1995.

    The Company may seek to obtain additional short- or long-term financings to
develop these properties.  However, there can be no assurance that any such
financing can be obtained or, if obtained, that such financing will be on terms
that are acceptable to the Company.  In addition, in the event a portion of the
Paramus property is condemned, the Company's plan for development of this
property would be affected, and the cost and time required to develop the
property may materially increase.

    The Company's properties do not generate sufficient cash flow to pay all of
its expenses.  However, the Company estimates that the net proceeds from
financings consummated during the first quarter of 1995 will be adequate to
fund its business operations, debt service obligations and construction costs
of the projects referred to above.
