(1)      BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The  accompanying  unaudited  financial  statements  included  herein  have been
prepared by the Company  pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange  Commission for interim financial  information.  The April 30, 1999
balance  sheet  amounts  have  been  derived  from the April  30,  1999  audited
financial  statements of the  Registrant.  Since the  accompanying  consolidated
financial  statements do not include all the information and footnotes  required
by generally accepted accounting  principles for complete financial  statements,
it is suggested that they be read in conjunction  with the financial  statements
and notes thereto included in the  Registrant's  April 30, 1999 Annual Report on
Form 10-K. In the opinion of management,  the accompanying  unaudited  financial
statements  include all adjustments  necessary to reflect a fair presentation of
the results for the interim  periods  presented.  The results of operations  for
such  interim  periods  are not  necessarily  indicative  of the  results  to be
expected  for the full  fiscal  year.  Certain  amounts in the  October 31, 1998
Statement of Operations  and Retained  Earnings and Statement of Cash Flows have
been reclassified to conform to the presentation used at October 31, 1999.

(a)Includes the effect of valuation  adjustments and other write-offs on certain
     inventories and equity  investments in joint ventures of approximately $1.9
     million  recorded in the quarter  ended  October 31, 1999.   Based upon the
     nature of the components of the this  adjustment,  the Company  charged $.9
     million of the adjustment to housing cost of sales, $.7 million to interest
     and  other  operations,   and  the  balance  to  selling  and  general  and
     administrative expenses.

                       AMREP CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                     Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                  Financial Condition and Results of Operations
                                October 31, 1999

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Total  revenues  decreased $1.6 million (5%) from $35.9 million to $34.3 million
for the three month  period ended  October 31, 1999  compared to the prior year,
while net income  increased  from $341,000 last year to $642,000 this year.  For
the six month period ended  October 31, 1999,  revenues  decreased  $5.8 million
(7%) from  $82.1  million to $76.3  million,  and net  income  declined  to $2.0
million  from $3.2 million in the same period of the prior year.

Revenues  from real estate  operations  increased $.6 million (3%) and decreased
$3.0 million (6%) during the three and six month periods ended October 31, 1999,
respectively,  compared  to the prior  year,  resulting  from a decrease in home
sales which was offset by an increase in revenues  from land sales  during these
periods.  These variations  largely reflect decisions made by the Company during
the  prior  fiscal  year  to  wind-down  substantially  all of its  homebuilding
operations  and to sell all of its remaining  land  holdings in  California  and
Colorado.  As part of this  process,  the Company has entered  into  option-like
contracts  for the sale of  homebuilding  lots to  several  national  and  local
builders in Rio  Rancho,  New Mexico and Denver,  Colorado.

Revenues  from land sales  increased  by $10.0  million  in the second  quarter,
primarily as the result of the bulk sale of approximately  500 homebuilding lots
in  Colorado as well as three large  commercial  sales in Rio Rancho  during the
quarter,  whereas the prior year did not include  any  comparable  bulk sales of
homebuilding lots or commercial real estate. The gross profit percentage on land
sales was 30% for both the second  quarter and six month  periods of the current
year,  compared to 55% in the second quarter and 49% for the six month period of
the prior year. The gross profit percentages  attained during the current fiscal
year are  lower  than  those  attained  in the prior  year due to the  increased
proportion of sales of bulk homebuilding  lots, which  traditionally  have lower
profit  margins than sales of  commercial  real estate.  Land sale  revenues and
related  gross  profits can vary from period to period as a result of the nature
and  timing  of  specific  transactions,  and  thus  prior  results  are  not an
indication of amounts that may be expected to occur in future periods from sales
of land.

Revenues from home sales decreased $9.5 million (55%) and $11.6 million (30%) in
the three  and six month  periods  ended  October  31,  1999,  respectively,  as
compared to the similar periods of the prior year,  resulting from a decrease in
total unit  deliveries  from 146 to 48 in the second quarter and from 309 to 175
in the six month period. In addition,  the gross profit  percentage  realized on
housing operations (before certain  adjustments and write-offs  discussed below)
decreased from 13% for the three and six month periods of the prior year to 8.5%
and 10.9% for the comparable  periods of the current year.  These  decreases all
reflect  the  effects  of  the   restructuring  of  the  Company's  real  estate
operations, as discussed above.

During the quarter ended  October 31, 1999,  the real estate  division  recorded
charges of  approximately  $1.9  million  for  valuation  adjustments  and other
write-offs  on certain  inventories  and  equity  investments  in joint  venture
arrangements.  These  adjustments  were deemed  necessary as a result of several
factors,  including the decision to curtail  remaining  homebuilding  on certain
projects in Oregon due to market conditions,  the accrual of additional warranty
and other site development costs necessary to comply with municipal requirements
in Colorado, and additional write-offs on projects in California.  The Company's
remaining investment in land and joint ventures in markets outside of New Mexico
is  approximately  $24  million,  and, as  discussed  above,  the Company or its
partners  are in the  process of  winding-down  or  selling  these  assets.  The
ultimate  ability to recover the full value of these assets is dependent  upon a
number of factors,  including  market  conditions in each of those regions,  and
cannot be assured.

Revenues from  magazine  circulation  operations  decreased  approximately  $1.1
million  (7%) and $2.3  million  (8%) in the three and six month  periods  ended
October 31,  1999,  respectively,  as compared  to the same  periods  last year.
Newsstand revenues  decreased  approximately $1.1 million (21%) and $1.8 million
(17%) in the three and six month  periods this year,  respectively,  compared to
the same periods in the prior year due primarily to a decrease in gross magazine
billings,  principally  resulting  from  the  loss  of  two  publisher  clients.
Fulfillment  Services  revenues were  comparable from year to year for the three
month period,  and  decreased  approximately  $.5 million  (2%)for the six month
period as a result of decreasing  revenues  from one large  customer  which,  as
previously   announced,   has  changed  its  operational   strategies  and  will
discontinue  the use of  Fulfillment  Services  during fiscal 2000;  Fulfillment
Services  does not expect a  significant  impact on earnings as a result of this
change. This revenue decrease was partly offset by cost reductions,  principally
payroll-related,  as magazine  circulation  operating  expenses decreased by $.8
million  (7%) and $1.3 million  (6%) for the three and six month  periods  ended
October 31, 1999.

Revenues and equity income from joint  ventures  included in "Interest and other
operations"  decreased  as a  result  of the  valuation  adjustments  and  other
write-offs  discussed  above.  Real  estate  commissions  and  selling  expenses
decreased from the prior year for both the three and six month periods primarily
as a result of the wind-down of homebuilding operations. This is also the reason
for the  decrease  in real  estate  and  corporate  general  and  administrative
expenses.   General  and  administrative   costs  of  the  magazine  circulation
operations were  comparable to the prior year amounts in both periods.  Interest
expense  decreased  due to lower  borrowing  requirements  within  both the real
estate and magazine  businesses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the past several  years,  the Company has financed  its  operations  from
internally  generated  funds from home and land sales and  magazine  circulation
operations,   and  from  borrowings  under  its  various   lines-of-credit   and
construction  loan  agreements.  During the quarter ended October 31, 1999,  the
Company continued its previously  announced  restructuring  program intended to,
among other things,  wind-down  substantially all of its homebuilding operations
and sell its land  holdings in California  and  Colorado.  As a direct result of
this initiative,  inventories decreased by approximately $20.6 million, to $69.1
million at October 31, 1999  compared to $89.7  million at April 30,  1999.  The
Company  utilized the cash provided by this  inventory  reduction,  as well as a
portion  of the  cash  balance  at April  30,  1999,  to  reduce  total  debt by
approximately $25 million, from $74.7 million at April 30, 1999 to $49.7 million
at  October  31,  1999.  Total  debt  related  to  real  estate  operations  was
approximately $17 million at October 31, 1999 compared to $34.4 million at April
30, 1999.

In connection with a previously  announced stock repurchase program, the Company
reacquired  141,000  of its  shares  to be held as  treasury  stock at a cost of
approximately $840,000 during the six months ended October 31, 1999. The Company
also issued 15,000 shares of stock (from shares held in the treasury) during the
first quarter of fiscal 2000 as compensation  for certain  executive  consulting
services,  and charged the fair market  value of the stock of $92,000 to general
and  administrative  expense.  In addition,  the Company paid approximately $1.5
million of interest to the Internal  Revenue  Service ("IRS") in connection with
the  resolution  of the IRS'  examination  of the  Company's tax returns for the
years 1990 through 1992.  (The payment of federal  income taxes related to those
years  was  paid  in  full  during  fiscal   1999.)  As  previously   disclosed,
examinations of the Company's tax returns for the years 1993 through 1996 are in
various stages of completion, and the Company believes that the balance of Taxes
payable - Amounts  subsequently  due at October 31,  1999,  which  reflects  all
amounts  anticipated  to be due for federal  taxes and  interest to the IRS upon
settlement  of all  examinations,  will be paid at  varying  times over the next
several years.


The Company  believes that cash provided from operations  together with existing
cash balances, its lines-of-credit and land development loans will be sufficient
to maintain  liquidity  at a  satisfactory  level.

YEAR 2000

During 1996,  the Company  began the process of assessing  the  readiness of its
computer software,  hardware and other  computer-related  equipment to determine
whether they were Year 2000 (Y2K)  compliant,  and if not, what  remedial  steps
would be required to bring them into compliance by forming committees consisting
of  information  technology,  operating and financial  management at each of the
Company's operating centers.  The Committees were under the overall direction of
two senior  corporate  employees,  who have reported the status of compliance to
the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis.

The Committee  undertook a four phase program  consisting of: (1) identification
and ranking of significant Y2K sensitive equipment and software,  (2) assessment
of the identified  components,  (3) remediation and (4) testing.  At October 31,
1999,  the  identification  and  assessment  phases  were  completed,   and  the
remediation  and  testing  (which  is  undertaken  as  specific  remediation  is
completed) were substantially (greater than 95%) completed. The Company believes
that any areas that remain to be completed  are not  significant  to the overall
operations of the Company, and there is sufficient time to correct any remaining
deficiencies.

The Company believes that its real estate segments are not heavily  dependent on
Y2K  compliance  and that,  should a reasonably  likely  "worst case"  situation
develop,  the Company would not likely suffer a material loss or a disruption in
operations  while  remedying the problem.  The potential risk is greater for the
magazine circulation operation segments, however, as the systems are substantial
and complex. The Company has completed substantially all full testing,  however,
and is in the process of correcting  any remaining  deficiencies.  There is also
some "worst  case"  potential  should  major  magazine  clients  and  wholesaler
customers  fail to be Y2K  compliant.  The Company has contacted the clients and
customers  of this  segment  in order to better  evaluate  risk,  and  responses
received to date have been positive.

The  Company has been  reviewing  whether its  significant  vendors,  suppliers,
financial  institutions and other service providers are Y2K compliant.  The vast
majority of responses to the Company's  inquiries  indicate that these suppliers
are compliant or expect to be so by the end of 1999, however, the Company has no
means of  ensuring  that such  suppliers  will be Y2K  compliant.  Although  the
Company does not anticipate any material  interruptions due to Y2K, it cannot be
ruled out that some unforeseen second or third party disruption might occur. The
Company plans to respond to any  contingency  arising from second or third-party
suppliers by seeking to utilize alternative sources for such goods and services,
where practicable.  The Company is most at risk should widespread disruptions in
the regional or national  economic or  infrastructure  occur; the likelihood and
effects of any such disruption are not determinable at this time.
