ITEM 1.           NOT APPLICABLE.

ITEM 2.           ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

                           On June 18, 1998, Alexander's, Inc. ("Alexander's")
                  increased its interest in the Kings Plaza Mall (the "Mall") to
                  100% by acquiring Federated Department Store's 50% interest.
                  The purchase price was approximately $28,000,000, which was
                  paid in cash. Alexander's has owned a 50% interest in the Mall
                  since it was built in 1970.

                           The two-level Mall contains approximately 430,000
                  square feet and is part of the Kings Plaza Shopping Center
                  (the "Center"). The Center, which contains approximately 1.1
                  million square feet of retail space and a five-level parking
                  structure, is located at the intersection of Flatbush Avenue
                  and Avenue U in Brooklyn, NY. In addition to owning the Mall,
                  Alexander's owns one of the Center's anchor stores, which is
                  principally leased to Sears. The other anchor store is owned
                  by Federated and operated as a Macy's department store.

                           In connection with the acquisition and to fund the
                  purchase price, Alexander's has completed a $90 million
                  three-year mortgage loan with Union Bank of Switzerland. The
                  loan is secured by the Kings Plaza Mall and the Alexander's
                  anchor store and bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.25%. In
                  addition, Alexander's expects to complete a $30 million
                  construction loan with Union Bank of Switzerland, of which
                  approximately $15 million will be advanced in the future to
                  partially fund a renovation of the Mall, as will approximately
                  $15 million for the refurbishment of the Macy's store.

                           These transactions were arrived at through arms-
                  length negotiations.

Basis of Pro Forma:

The unaudited Consolidated Pro Forma Financial Statements were prepared to give
pro forma effect to Alexander's acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in the
Center. The column headed "Reclassification of Alexander's 50% Equity Interest
in the Mall" on the Consolidated Pro Forma Balance Sheet reflects the
reclassification of the equity investment into its balance sheet components. The
columns in the Consolidated Pro Forma Income Statements headed "Kings Plaza
Shopping Center and Marina" include the historical operating information for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 and the year ended December 31, 1997.

The acquisition was consummated through a subsidiary of Alexander's and was
recorded under the purchase method of accounting. The purchase costs were
allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities using their relative
fair values as of the closing date, based upon valuations and other studies
which are not yet complete. Accordingly, the initial valuations are subject to
change as such information is finalized. Alexander's believes that any such
changes will not be significant since the allocations were principally to real
estate.

The purchase price and preliminary allocation of the excess of cost over net
assets acquired is as follows: (in thousands)
