HQ Global Holdings, Inc.
Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations

         On June 1, 2000, VANTAS Incorporated ("VANTAS"), a majority-owned
subsidiary of FrontLine Capital Group ("FrontLine"), merged with HQ Global
Workplaces, Inc.("HQ"), an affiliate of CarrAmerica Realty Corporation
("CarrAmerica"), in a two step merger ("HQ Merger"). As a result of the HQ
Merger, the combined company became a wholly owned subsidiary of a newly
formed parent corporation, HQ Global Holdings, Inc. ("HQ Global" or the
"Company"), under the name HQ Global Workplaces, Inc. ("HQ").

         In connection with the HQ Merger, (i) each share of the Class A
Common Stock of VANTAS ("VANTAS Common Stock") was converted into the right to
receive $8.00 per share in cash; (ii) each option and warrant to purchase the
common stock of VANTAS, were converted into the right to receive a per share
cash amount equal to $8.00, less the exercise price for such options or
warrants, except for certain VANTAS options which were converted into options
to purchase 12,310 shares of Voting Common Stock of HQ Global ("Voting
Common Stock"), and (iii) each share of the convertible preferred stock of
VANTAS outstanding was converted into .2569 shares of Voting Common Stock. The
payment to cancel the outstanding options held by officers and employees was
charged to merger and integration expenses in the three months ended June 30,
2000. The holders of the VANTAS preferred stock received an aggregate of
8,663,315 shares of Voting Common Stock upon conversion of the preferred
stock.

         In the HQ Merger, CarrAmerica and certain other stockholders of
HQ received approximately $151.1 million in cash and 1,076,009 shares of Voting
Common Stock and 2,152,988 shares of Nonvoting Common Stock of HQ Global in
exchange for the 7,359,527 shares of HQ they held. In addition, options to
purchase shares of HQ common stock and stock units were cancelled for
approximately $10.8 million in cash, warrants to purchase 101,000 shares of
HQ common stock at an exercise price of $20 per share were converted into
warrants to purchase an equal number of shares of Common Stock with the same
terms, and options to purchase 14,000 shares of HQ common stock were
converted into 6,344 shares of Voting Common Stock.

         Because the former VANTAS shareholders received approximately 66% of
the outstanding shares of common stock of HQ Global, the HQ Merger has been
accounted for as a purchase of HQ by VANTAS. As a result, the consolidated
financial statements of HQ Global include the assets and liabilities of
VANTAS at their respective historical carrying amounts and include the results
of its operations for all periods presented. All historical share and per
share information have been retroactively adjusted based on an effective
conversion rate of one share of VANTAS Common Stock into .2569 shares of
Common Stock.

         HQ Global also acquired the interests of CarrAmerica in OmniOffices
(UK) Limited and OmniOffices (Lux) 1929 Holding Company S.A. (collectively
"OmniOffices UK"), two companies engaged in the executive office suites business
outside of the United States, for approximately $90.2 million in cash.

         The following unaudited pro forma statements of operations of HQ
Global give effect to the HQ Merger and the acquisition of OmniOffices UK as if
such transactions had occurred as of January 1, 1999. The pro forma statements
of operations are based on the historical financial statements and the notes
thereto of HQ Global, VANTAS, HQ and OmniOffices UK. The unaudited pro forma
condensed combined financial statements are based on the estimates and
assumptions set forth in the notes, including management's estimates of the
value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired. These estimates and
assumptions are preliminary and have been made solely for purposes of
developing this pro forma information. The pro forma statements of operations
are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not indicative of the
actual results of operations which would have been achieved had the HQ Merger
and acquisition of OmniOffices UK occurred on January 1, 1999, nor are they
indicative of the future results of operations of HQ Global.

         The pro forma financial statements, including the notes thereto, are
qualified in their entirety by reference to, and should be read in conjunction
with, (i) the historical financial statements of HQ Global as filed in its
Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2000, (ii) the historical
financial statements of VANTAS as filed in its Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1999, and (iii) the historical financial statements of HQ and
OmniOffices UK as filed in the Form 8-K of VANTAS dated February 28, 2000.

(6)      Represents amortization of unearned stock compensation related
         to 164,601 shares of restricted common stock granted to certain
         officers and employees on June 1, 2000. These grants resulted in
         aggregate deferred stock option compensation expense of $5.7 million,
         which is being recognized over the vesting period.

(7)      Represents merger and integration costs and expenses associated
         with all acquisitions in the period, as these costs are incremental
         non-recurring costs directly attributable to such acquisitions.

(8)      Represents amortization expense on goodwill computed as if
         the HQ Merger occurred on January 1,1999. Goodwill is being amortized
         over a 20 year period based on HQ Global's assessment of the
         significant barriers to entry due to the rapid consolidation in the
         executive suites business and the lack of exposure to technological
         obsolescence in the global officing solutions business. The goodwill
         adjustment represents amortization which was not included in the
         historical results.

(9)      Represents additional interest expense on borrowings under
         credit facilities used to fund a portion of cash requirement of the
         HQ Merger. Interest expense was calculated on the outstanding
         indebtedness as follows: (i) $189.375 million at an interest rate of
         LIBOR +4% (10.7%), (ii) $30 million at an interest rate of LIBOR
         +3.25% (9.95%), (iii) $5.625 million at an interest rate of LIBOR
         +3.5% (10.2%) and, (iv) $125 million at an interest rate of 13.5%.
         Additionally as part of the obtaining debt financing the HQ Global
         issued warrants valued at approximately $18.4 million, which are
         being amortized into interest expense term of the related debt.

(10)     Represents elimination of the federal deferred tax benefit for
         the period. As of June 30, 2000, the Company's deferred tax assets
         have been fully reserved because of the uncertainty of the timing and
         amount of future taxable income.

(11)     Reflects the accretion of the HQ Global Series A redeemable
         convertible preferred stock issued in the HQ Merger to its
         liquidation value on November 30, 2007, including accrued dividends.
         The accretion was computed using the effective interest rate method,
         resulting in an effective dividend rate of 20.08%. Also reflects the
         elimination of the accretion of the carrying value of the VANTAS
         convertible preferred stock which was converted into common stock in
         the HQ Merger.

(12)     Represents the adjustment to the weighted average shares
         outstanding resulting from i) the repurchase of all outstanding
         shares of VANTAS common stock, ii) the issuance of 3,235,341 shares
         of common stock of HQ Holdings to CarrAmerica and certain other
         stockholders of HQ and iii) the conversion of all outstanding shares
         of redeemable convertible preferred stock of VANTAS into an aggregate
         of 8,663,315 shares of common stock in connection with the HQ Merger.
