ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

         On November 7, 1996, HRE acquired  458,621 shares (the "Shares") of the
Company's 8% Cumulative  Convertible  Preferred Stock, Series A, in exchange for
common stock of Frick Building, Inc. a Delaware corporation ("Frick"),  owned by
HRE. Frick was merged with and into CStone-Pittsburgh Trust, a Maryland business
trust and  wholly-owned  subsidiary of the Company (the "Sub"),  pursuant to the
terms of that certain  Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger  Agreement")  dated
November 7, 1996, among the Company, the Sub, Frick, and HRE, a copy of which is
filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1.

         On December 23, 1996, HRE transferred all of its interest in the Shares
to HRE Finance, its wholly-owned subsidiary.

         On July 28, 1997,  all of the Shares held by HRE Finance were converted
into shares of Common Stock of the  Company,  at a ratio of ten shares of Common
Stock for each share of Preferred Stock converted.

               (d)  Pursuant to the terms of that certain Stockholders Agreement
                    ("Stockholder  Agreement")  dated as of  November  7,  1996,
                    among the Company and HRE, a copy of which is filed herewith
                    as Exhibit  99.2,  so long as HRE holds the Shares,  HRE may
                    designate  a  director   nominee,   and  the  Company  shall
                    recommend the election of such nominee to the holders of the
                    Company's  common stock.  HRE has designated Cecil Conlee as
                    its  director  nominee.  On November  27,  Cecil  Conlee was
                    elected  as a  director  of  the  Company  pursuant  to  the
                    Stockholder Agreement. On December 23, 1996, the Stockholder
                    Agreement  was  amended to add HRE Finance as a party to the
                    Stockholder Agreement.  Upon the conversion of the Preferred
                    Stock Shares into common stock, HRE Finance relinquished its
                    right under the Stockholders Agreement to appoint a director
                    nominee.  However, pursuant to a separate non-binding letter
                    of  understanding  among the  Company and HRE  Finance,  the
                    Company  will  continue  to  nominate  a  representative  of
                    Rodamco North America for election to the Company's Board of
                    Directors and the Investment  Committee thereof, for so long
                    as Rodamco (or its  affiliates)  maintains an  investment in
                    Company stock of at least $50 million.
