                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.    CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1996, the consolidated
      statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and
      March 31, 1995, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the
      three months ended March 31, 1996 and March 31, 1995 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,
      1996 and March 31, 1995 have been made.

         Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
      financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
      accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These condensed
      consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
      financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 1995
      Annual Report to Shareholders. The results of operations for the period
      ended March 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the operating
      results for the full year.


2.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

           Under a management and development agreement (the "Management
      Agreement") with Vornado Realty Trust ("Vornado"), Alexander's incurred
      management fees of $2,530,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1996,
      of which $1,443,000 represents fees related to the completion of the
      redevelopment of the Rego Park I property.  Management fees of $388,000
      were paid by the Company to Vornado in the three months ended March 31,
      1995.

         The fee pursuant to the Management Agreement is in addition to the
      leasing fee the Company pays to Vornado under the terms of its leasing
      agreement. Subject to the payment of rents by tenants, Vornado is due
      $5,592,000 at March 31, 1996 under such agreement.  The lease which
      Vornado had previously negotiated with Caldor on behalf of the Company
      for a portion of its Rego Park I property was rejected in March 1996 in
      Caldor's bankruptcy proceedings, resulting in $1,717,000 of previously
      recorded leasing fees payable and the corresponding deferred lease
      expense being reversed in the quarter ended March 31, 1996.

         In addition, the Company incurred interest on its loan from Vornado of
      $1,869,000 and $398,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1996 and
      1995, of which $654,000 and $43,000 were capitalized.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

3.    CONTINGENCIES

         Paramus Property

         The State of New Jersey has notified the Company of its intention to
      condemn approximately 10 acres (one-quarter) of the Paramus property.
      The land subject to the condemnation is located on the periphery of the
      property and will be used to lessen traffic congestion.  The New Jersey
      Department of Transportation ("DOT") has made an offer to purchase the
      land for $15,400,000 based on an appraisal performed on its behalf. The
      Company is negotiating with the DOT to attempt to reach agreement on the
      value and other terms. In the event that the Company and the DOT do not
      reach agreement, a formal process may be initiated by the DOT pursuant to
      which, among other things, a group of independent commissioners will be
      appointed by a court to adjudicate the disputed matters.

         Lexington Avenue Property

         The Company believes that, along with a number of other locations, a
      portion of the Lexington Avenue property has been 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.  Recent statements by Port Authority officials have
      indicated that the rail link between midtown Manhattan and the airports
      is not likely to be developed in the foreseeable future.  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
      redevelopment of the Lexington Avenue property.

         Tax Certiorari Proceedings

         The Company is currently negotiating certiorari proceedings with the
      City of New York on several of its properties.

         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 from 1986 to 1992. In January 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 $10,300,000, (including interest currently
      aggregating $3,700,000). Both the Board and the Company have appealed the
      Court's decision.

         Environmental Matters

         The results of a 1993 Phase I environmental study at the Kings Plaza
      Shopping Center's ("Center") property show that certain adjacent
      properties owned by third parties have experienced petroleum hydrocarbon
      contamination. Based on this study and preliminary investigation of the
      Center's property and its history, there is potential for contamination
      on the property.  If contamination is found on the property, the Center
      may be required to engage in remediation activities; management is unable
      to estimate the financial impact of potential contamination if any is
      discovered in the future.  If further investigations reveal that there is
      contamination on its site, since the Center believes such contamination
      would have resulted from activities of third parties, the Center intends
      to pursue all available remedies against any of these third parties.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



         The Company is aware of the presence of asbestos-containing materials
      at several of its properties and believes that it manages such asbestos
      in accordance with applicable laws.  The Company plans to abate or remove
      such asbestos as appropriate.

         Caldor Corporation ("Caldor")

         In September 1995, Caldor, which leases the Fordham Road and Flushing
      Properties from the Company, filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the
      United States Bankruptcy Code.  Property rentals from these two leases
      represent approximately 56% of the Company's consolidated revenues for
      the year ended December 31, 1995 and approximately 46% of the Company's
      consolidated revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1996.  Caldor
      leased these properties "as is", expended the entire cost of refurbishing
      these stores and has not affirmed either of these leases, but continues
      to pay rent on both of these locations.  The loss of property rental
      payments under either of these leases could have a material adverse
      effect on the financial condition and results of operations of the
      Company.

         Caldor was also a lessee for a portion of the Rego Park I property.
      Caldor received Bankruptcy Court approval to reject the lease effective
      March 18, 1996.  The Company will file a claim for damages based on such
      rejection.

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



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      The Company's revenues, which consist of property rentals, tenant expense
reimbursements and equity in  income of unconsolidated joint venture were 
$4,405,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 1996, compared to $3,423,000 in the 
prior year's quarter, an increase of $982,000 or 28.7%. Of this increase (i)
$494,000 was from equity in income of the unconsolidated joint venture (the
Kings Plaza Shopping Center), (ii) $356,000 was from the commencement in March
1996, of rents and paid parking at the Company's Rego Park I property and (iii)
$82,000 was from an increase in operating expenses passed through to tenants.

     Operating expenses were $745,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 1996,
compared to $515,000 in the prior year's quarter, an increase of $230,000.  Of
this increase (i) $140,000 represented fees under the Management Agreement and
(ii) $90,000 represented higher real estate taxes, maintenance and utility
expenses, which were primarily passed through to tenants.

      General and administrative expenses were $1,160,000 in the quarter ended
March 31, 1996, compared to $1,036,000 in the prior year's quarter, an increase
of $124,000. This increase resulted primarily from  fees under the Management
Agreement in the quarter ended March 31, 1996, exceeding the prior year's
expenses.

      Interest and debt expense was $3,317,000 in the quarter ended March 31,
1996, as compared to $2,739,000 in the prior year's quarter, an increase of
$578,000.  This increase was primarily attributable to interest on higher
levels of average debt.

      Interest and other income, net was $622,000 in the quarter ended March
31, 1996, compared to $97,000 in the prior year's quarter, an increase of
$525,000.  Of this increase, approximately $123,000 was attributable to
interest income earned on higher average cash invested due to increased
borrowings and $402,000 was attributable to other income ($265,000 from the
amortization of deferred gains in connection with the Company's postretirement
healthcare benefits and $137,000 from refunds).

       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 1995.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      Three Months Ended March 31, 1996
      Cash provided by operating activities of $1,048,000 was comprised of
$1,297,000 from results of operations (net loss of $462,000 offset by non-cash
items of $1,759,000), offset by a net change in operating assets and
liabilities of $249,000.

      Net cash used in investing activities of $6,204,000 was comprised
primarily of capital expenditures of $9,394,000, offset by the release of cash
restricted for operating liabilities of $3,262,000.

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




      Net cash provided by financing activities of $4,719,000 was comprised of
proceeds from the issuance of debt of $4,934,000 (net of deferred debt
expense), offset by repayments of debt of $215,000.

      Three Months Ended March 31, 1995
      Cash used in operating activities of $24,300,000 was comprised of:  (i) a
net loss of 1,444,000 less adjustments for non-cash items of $887,000, and (ii)
the payment of liabilities of discontinued operations of $26,713,000, offset by
(iii) the net change in operating assets and liabilities of $2,970,000.

      Net cash used in investing activities of $24,705,000 was comprised of
capital expenditures of $3,691,000, cash restricted for construction financing
of $6,000,000 and cash restricted for operating liabilities of $15,014,000.

      Net cash provided by financing activities of $76,838,000 was comprised of
proceeds from the issuance of debt of $116,390,000 (net of deferred debt
expense), offset by repayments of debt of $39,552,000.


      In connection with the redevelopment of the existing building and the
construction of a multi-level parking structure on its Rego Park I property,
the Company has expended approximately $31,500,000 and expects to expend,
through the second quarter of 1996, up to an additional $8,000,000 to complete
the project.  At March 31, 1996, there was $6,600,000 available under a
$60,000,000 construction loan to fund these expenditures with the balance to be
funded from existing cash.  The Company estimates that its capital expenditure
requirements for other redevelopment projects will include: (i) the
redevelopment of the Paramus property at a cost of approximately $50,000,000 to
$60,000,000, (ii) the demising of the Kings Plaza Store and installation of
vertical transportation which may have an improvement cost between $10,000,000
and $20,000,000 and (iii) the renovation of the existing former Lexington
Avenue store building principally for retail use at an estimated cost of
approximately $20,000,000 to $25,000,000.  The Company is evaluating
alternative development plans for the Lexington Avenue site, which may involve
razing the existing building (rather than renovating it) and/or developing a
large multi-use tower, which will require substantial additional capital to be
expended.  While the Company anticipates that financing will be available after
tenants have been obtained for these redevelopment projects, there can be no
assurance that such financing will be obtained or if obtained, that such
financings will be on terms that are acceptable to the Company.  In addition, it
is uncertain as to when these projects will commence.

      On September 18, 1995, Caldor, which leases the Fordham Road and Flushing
Properties from the Company, filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the United
States Bankruptcy Code.  Caldor accounted for approximately 46% of the
Company's consolidated revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and
approximately 56% of the Company's consolidated revenues for the year ended
December 31, 1995.  Caldor leased these properties "as is", expended the entire
cost of refurbishing these stores and continues to pay rent on both of these
locations.  The loss of property rental payments under either of these leases
could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and results of
operations of the Company.

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



      Caldor was also a lessee for a portion of the Rego Park I property.
Caldor received Bankruptcy Court approval to reject the lease effective March
18, 1996.  The Company will file a claim for damages based on such rejection.

      Alexander's current operating properties (five of its nine properties) do
not generate sufficient cash flow to pay all of its expenses.  The Company's
four non-operating properties (Lexington Avenue, Paramus, the Kings Plaza Store
and Rego Park II) are in various stages of redevelopment.  As rents commence
from a portion of the redevelopment properties, the Company expects that cash
flow will become positive.

      The Company estimates that the fair market values of its assets are
substantially in excess of their historical cost and that there is additional
borrowing capacity.  Alexander's continues to evaluate its needs for capital
which may be raised through (a) property specific or corporate borrowing, (b)
the sale of securities and (c) asset sales.

      In December 1995, the Company completed a tax certiorari proceeding with
the City of New York regarding the Kings Plaza Shopping Center property.  As a
result of this settlement, $3,000,000 of the $8,000,000 held in escrow for
unpaid real estate taxes was released during the quarter ended March 31, 1996
and the balance is expected to be released in the near future.

      In addition, the Company may receive the proceeds from other tax
certiorari and/or condemnation proceedings  -- see Note 3 - Contingencies -
"Paramus Property" and "Tax Certiorari Proceedings".

      Although there can be no assurance, the Company believes that these cash
sources will be adequate to fund cash requirements until its operations
generate adequate cash flow.
