                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 1999, the Consolidated
   Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 and
   1998, and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended
   June 30, 1999 and 1998 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 have been made.

    Certain information and 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 1998 Annual Report to
   Shareholders. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30,
   1999 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full
   year.

2. ACQUISITION OF KINGS PLAZA MALL

      On June 18, 1998, the Company increased its interest in the Kings Plaza
   Mall (the "Mall") to 100% by acquiring Federated Department Store's
   ("Federated") 50% interest. The purchase price was approximately $28,000,000,
   which was paid in cash, plus the Company has agreed to pay Federated
   $15,000,000 to renovate its Macy's store in the Mall and Federated agreed to
   certain modifications to the Kings Plaza Operating Agreement.

    Set forth below is the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated operating
   data for the Company for the six months ended June 30, 1998 as if the
   acquisition of the Kings Plaza Mall and the related financing transactions
   had occurred on January 1, 1998. (Amounts in thousands, except per share
   amounts)

3. RELATIONSHIP WITH VORNADO REALTY TRUST ("Vornado")

    Vornado owns 29.3% of the Company's Common Stock. The Company is managed by
   and its properties are redeveloped and leased by Vornado, pursuant to
   agreements with a one-year term expiring in March of each year which are
   automatically renewable. Under these agreements, the Company incurred fees of
   $1,700,000 and $1,563,000 in each of the three month periods ended June 30,
   1999 and 1998 and $3,380,000 and $3,126,000 in each of the six month periods
   ended June 30, 1999 and 1998. In addition, Vornado is due $2,896,000 at June
   30, 1999 under the leasing agreement, subject to the payment of rents by
   tenants.

    The Company is indebted to Vornado in the amount of $45,000,000, the
   subordinated tranche of a $65,000,000 secured financing. The Company incurred
   interest on its loan from Vornado of $1,613,000 and $1,578,000 in the three
   months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, of which $1,053,000 and $902,000 were
   capitalized. Interest on the loan was $3,174,000 and $3,296,000 in the six
   months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, of which $2,217,000 and $1,809,000 were
   capitalized.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

4. LEASES

     In the first quarter of 1999, Caldor closed all of its stores. Caldor
   previously sub-leased its Flushing store from the Company. Caldor rejected
   the Flushing lease effective March 29, 1999. In connection therewith the
   Company wrote-off the $3,000,000 asset arising from the straight-lining of
   Caldor's rent.

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     In June 1997, the Kings Plaza Regional Shopping Center (the "Center"),
   commissioned an Environmental Study and Contamination Assessment Site
   Investigation (the Phase II "Study") to evaluate and delineate environmental
   conditions disclosed in a Phase I study. The results of the Study indicate
   the presence of petroleum and other hydrocarbons in the soil and groundwater.
   The Study recommends a remedial approach, but agreement has not yet been
   reached with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation
   ("NYDEC") on the finalization of the approach. In 1997, the Center accrued
   $1,500,000 for its estimated obligation with respect to the clean up of the
   site, which includes costs of (i) remedial investigation, (ii) feasibility
   study, (iii) remedial design, (iv) remedial action and (v) professional fees.
   Based upon revised estimates, the Company has accrued an additional $500,000
   in the quarter ended June 30, 1999. If the NYDEC insists on a more extensive
   remediation approach, the Center could incur additional obligations.

     Such contamination may have resulted from activities of third parties;
   however, the sources of the contamination have not been fully identified.
   Although the Company intends to pursue all available remedies against any
   potentially responsible third parties, there can be no assurance that such
   parties will be identified, or if identified, whether these potentially
   responsible third parties will be solvent. In addition, the costs associated
   with pursuing any potentially responsible parties may be cost prohibitive.
   The Company has not recorded an asset as of June 30, 1999 for potential
   recoveries of environmental remediation costs from other parties.

      Tenant expense reimbursements were $5,279,000 in the quarter ended June
30, 1999 compared to $1,612,000 in the prior year's quarter, an increase of
$3,667,000. Tenant expense reimbursements were $10,514,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1999, compared to $2,610,000 for the prior year's six months, an
increase of $7,904,000. These increases resulted primarily from the acquisition
of the remaining 50% interest in the Kings Plaza Mall (the Mall) and the
resulting consolidation of the Mall's operations after June 18, 1998.

      The decrease in equity in income of unconsolidated joint venture resulted
from the consolidation of the Mall's operations as noted above.

      Operating expenses were $7,455,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 1999,
compared to $2,993,000 in the prior year's quarter, an increase of $4,462,000.
Operating expenses were $16,451,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999,
compared to $5,013,000 in the prior year's six months, an increase of
$11,438,000. These increases resulted primarily from the acquisition of the
remaining 50% interest in the Kings Plaza Mall and the resulting consolidation
of the Mall's operations after June 18, 1998, partially off-set by a decrease in
the operating expenses relating to the closure of the parking operations at the
Lexington Avenue property. In addition, operating expenses for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 includes $3,000,000 resulting from the write-off of the
asset arising from the straight-lining of rents due to Caldors rejection of its
Flushing lease.

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


      General and administrative expenses were $942,000 in the quarter ended
June 30, 1999, compared to $1,371,000 in the prior year's quarter, a decrease of
$429,000. General and administrative expenses were $1,921,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1999, compared to $2,237,000 in the prior year's six months, a
decrease of $316,000. These decreases resulted primarily from lower professional
fees.

      Depreciation and amortization expense increased primarily as a result of
the Kings Plaza Mall acquisition in June 1998.

      Interest and debt expense was $4,339,000 in the quarter ended June 30,
1999, compared to $3,260,000 in the prior year's quarter, an increase of
$1,079,000. Interest and debt expense was $8,100,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1999, compared to $6,925,000 in the prior year's six months, an
increase of $1,175,000. These increases resulted primarily from higher average
debt.

      Interest and other income was $327,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 1999,
compared to $160,000 in the prior year's quarter, an increase of $167,000.
Interest and other income was $253,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999,
compared to $424,000 in the prior year's six-months, a decrease of $171,000. The
changes resulted from higher average investments this year, off-set by the
write-off of leasing commissions at the Flushing property in the first quarter
of 1999.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      In the aggregate, Alexander's current operating properties (five of the
eight properties) do not generate sufficient cash flow to pay all of its
expenses. The Company's three non-operating properties (Lexington Avenue,
Paramus, 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.

   In connection with the acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in the Kings
Plaza Mall in June 1998, the Company obtained a $90,000,000 three-year mortgage
loan with Union Bank of Switzerland. On August 9, 1999 the Company increased the
availability under this mortgage loan by $30,000,000 of which $15,000,000 will
be used to partially fund a renovation of the Mall (estimated to cost
$32,000,000) and $15,000,000 will be used to pay its liability to Federated
($2,100,000 has been paid as of July 31, 1999). The Company is required to
supply a completion guarantee of the renovation which is limited to $17,000,000.

      The Company estimates that capital expenditure requirements for the
redevelopment of its Paramus property, will approximate $100,000,000. The
Company is evaluating development plans for the Lexington Avenue site, which may
include a large multi-use building requiring capital in excess of $300,000,000
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.

      In the first quarter of 1999, Caldor closed all of its stores. Caldor
previously sub-leased its Flushing Store from the Company. Caldor rejected the
Flushing lease effective March 29, 1999. The annual base rental under the lease
was $2,963,000.

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


      On May 12, 1999, the Company, through a newly formed subsidiary, completed
an $82,000,000 refinancing of its subsidiary's Rego Park I property and repaid
the then existing $75,000,000 debt on the property from the proceeds of the new
loan. The new 10-year debt, which is an obligation of the subsidiary, matures in
May 2009 and bears interest at 7.25%.

      The Company estimates that the fair market values of its assets are
substantially in excess of their historical cost and that it has 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.

      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.

      The number of shares that should be used for determining funds from
operations per share is the number used for basic and diluted earnings per
share. (See Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.)

      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, which is
disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the applicable
periods. There are no material legal or functional restrictions on the use of
funds from operations. 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. Management
considers funds from operations a relevant supplemental measure of operating
performance because it provides a basis for comparison among REITs; however,
funds from operations may not be comparable to similarly titled measures
reported by other REITs since the Company's method of calculating funds from
operations is different from that used by NAREIT. Funds from operations, as
defined by NAREIT, represents net income before depreciation and amortization,
extraordinary items and gains or losses on sales of real estate. Funds from
operations as disclosed above has been modified to adjust for the effect of
straight-lining of property rentals for rent escalations and leasing fee
expenses. Below are the cash flows provided by (used in) operating, investing
and financing activities:

   Year 2000 Issues

      The Company is managed by Vornado Realty Trust. Vornado has advised the
Company that Vornado initiated its Year 2000 compliance programs and information
systems modifications in early 1998 to ensure that its systems and key processes
will remain functional. Vornado expects this objective to be achieved either by
modifying present systems using existing internal and external programming
resources or by installing new systems, and by monitoring supplier and other
third-party interfaces. In certain cases, Vornado will be relying on statements
from outside vendors as to the Year 2000 readiness of its systems.

      The Company is not aware of any operational systems within its control
that are not Year 2000 compliant. In the event that a third-party service is
interrupted due to a Year 2000 issue, the Company will seek to obtain such
service from another third-party provider.

   Recently Issued Accounting Standards

      In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities". This statement establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It is effective for all
fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Because the
Company does not currently utilize derivatives or engage in hedging activities,
management does not anticipate that implementation of this statement will have a
material effect on the Company's financial statements.


ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

      At June 30, 1999, the Company had $126,807,000 of variable rate debt at a
weighted average interest rate of 7.02% and $147,000,000 of fixed rate debt
bearing interest at a weighted average interest rate of 9.35%. A one - percent
increase in the base used to determine the interest rate of the variable rate
debt would result in a $1,268,000 decrease in the Company's annual net income ($
 .25 per basic and diluted share).
