              WELLSFORD RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.    General

      Wellsford Residential Property Trust and Subsidiaries (the "Company") is a
      fully integrated and self administered equity real estate investment trust
      ("REIT")  engaged  in  the  acquisition,   development  and  operation  of
      multifamily  communities  located in the Southwest  and Pacific  Northwest
      regions of the United  States.  At June 30,  1996,  the  Company  owned 75
      multifamily communities containing 18,576 units.

      The  accompanying  financial  statements  and related notes of the Company
      have been  prepared  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting
      principles for interim  financial  reporting and the  instructions to Form
      10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly,  certain  information
      and  footnote   disclosures  normally  included  in  financial  statements
      prepared  under  generally  accepted   accounting   principles  have  been
      condensed or omitted  pursuant to such rule. In the opinion of management,
      all  adjustments  considered  necessary  for a  fair  presentation  of the
      Company's  financial  position,  results of operations and cash flows have
      been included and are of a normal and recurring  nature.  These  financial
      statements  should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report
      on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.

2.    Real Estate Investments

      In July 1996,  the Company  originated a $17.9  million  mortgage on a 344
      unit, newly constructed community in Tucson,  Arizona known as Sonterra at
      Williams  Centre (the "Sonterra  Mortgage").  The Sonterra  Mortgage bears
      interest at 9% per annum,  matures in June 1999 and  provides  the Company
      with the  exclusive  option to purchase the  community  for $20.5  million
      through December 1997 and $21 million until December 1998.

      In May 1996,  the Company  purchased a parcel of land in Denver,  Colorado
      for $2.1 million.  The land is located  contiguous  to the Company's  Blue
      Ridge  development  and will  represent  the second phase of the Company's
      Palomino Park project.

      In April 1996, the Company,  through a wholly-owned  subsidiary,  acquired
      Marks  West,  a  multifamily  community  containing  280 units  located in
      Denver,  Colorado,  for  approximately $18 million including the estimated
      cost for certain  capital  improvements.  The  acquisition was funded from
      cash on hand and $11.2 million of tax-exempt bond financing. The bonds are
      collateralized  by a  non-recourse  first  mortgage  on Marks  West,  bear
      interest at a rate which  approximates  the Standard &  Poor's/J.J.  Kenny
      index for short-term high grade  tax-exempt  bonds, and mature in December
      1997.  The  community's  operations  have been  combined with those of The
      Marks, an existing community located contiguous to Marks West.

3.    Capitalization

      During the second  quarter of 1996,  the Company drew $24.0 million on its
      unsecured  credit  facility  with The First  National  Bank of Boston (the
      "Bank of Boston Credit  Facility") to purchase a parcel of land,  fund the
      Sonterra Mortgage and fund certain developments.

              WELLSFORD RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


      In January  1996,  the Company  prepaid it's $4.9 million  mortgage on the
      community  known as Parkwood  East from cash on hand.  This  mortgage bore
      interest at 9.625% and would have matured March 1996.

      In June 1996, the Company's Board  of Trustees approved a stock repurchase
      plan which  authorizes the Company to repurchase up  to two million common
      shares.

4.    Earnings Per Share

      Net income per share was calculated  using the weighted  average number of
      shares  outstanding  of 17,034,633 and 16,909,357 for the six months ended
      June 30, 1996  and  1995,  respectively.  The  Company  declared  a common
      dividend  of $0.485 per common  share,  a Series A  preferred  dividend of
      $0.4375 per share,  and a Series B preferred  dividend  of  $0.603125  per
      share on June 19, 1996 payable to shareholders of record on June 29, 1996.

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


1.    General

      The Company's  operations  consist of acquiring,  developing and operating
      residential  multifamily  communities located in the Southwest and Pacific
      Northwest  regions of the United  States.  At June 30,  1996,  the Company
      owned 75 multifamily communities containing 18,576 units.

      Decreases in revenues and expenses in the periods  compared below were due
      primarily to the dispositions of seven  communities  containing a total of
      2,245 units  during 1995 (the  "Disposition  Communities"),  offset by the
      acquisition of one community in April 1996.  Certain  comparisons  between
      periods have been made on an actual basis as well as on a weighted average
      per unit  basis,  a technique  which  adjusts  for  certain  increases  in
      existing communities and increases or decreases related to the acquisition
      or disposition of communities.

      The Company currently has the following four development projects on which
      it has spent $38.1 million through June 30, 1996:

      Seeley Lake III      182       Tacoma        8.9 million    October  1996
      Bear Creek Run II    216       Denver       18.8 million    October  1996
      Blue Ridge           456       Denver       42.5 million    October  1997
                         -----                  --------------
                         1,004                  $ 86.2 million
                         =====                  ==============

      Two of these  projects,  Blue  Ridge  and Bear  Creek  Run II,  are  being
      developed pursuant to fixed-price  contracts.  The Company is committed to
      purchase 100% of these  projects upon  completion  and the  achievement of
      certain  occupancy  levels,  which is  anticipated  to occur at the  dates
      disclosed above.

      Risks Associated with Forward-Looking Statements
      ------------------------------------------------

      This Form 10-Q,  together with other  statements and information  publicly
      disseminated by the Company,  contains certain forward-looking  statements
      within the  meaning  of  Section  27A of the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as
      amended,  and  Section  21E of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934,  as
      amended. Such statements are based on current expectations which involve a
      number of risk factors and uncertainties,  including,  but not limited to,
      risks  associated with the  acquisition,  construction  and development of
      multifamily communities, including the risk of an over-supply of apartment
      units or a reduction in the demand for such units,  risks  associated with
      construction  and  lease-up  delays,  budget  over-runs,  risks  that  the
      Company's acquisition and development  communities will fail to perform as
      expected,  financing  risks,  such as the  availability  of debt or equity
      financing  in the  future  and  the  risk  of  increasing  costs  of  such
      financing,  as  well  as  other  risks  listed  from  time  to time in the
      Company's  reports  filed with the SEC.  Therefore,  actual  results could
      differ materially from those projected in such statements.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
            FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)


2.    Results of Operations

      Comparison  of the six months ended June 30, 1996 to the six months ended
      June 30, 1995
      --------------------------------------------------------------------------

      Rental  income  decreased  by $1.3 million or 2%. $3.5 million of decrease
      represents 1995 rental income from the Disposition  Communities,  which is
      offset by $0.5  million of rental  income from the  community  acquired in
      1996 and by occupancy and rental rate increases on other communities. On a
      per unit basis,  rental income  increased from $3,080  to $3,329 or 8% due
      primarily  to increases  in rental  rates and  dispositions of communities
      with lower per unit rents than  the currently owned communities.  Revenues
      for the 75 communities  which  were owned during the first  six  months of
      1995 and 1996  increased  by 3%.  Average  occupancy increased  from 93.7%
      to  94.7%.  Occupancy for the 75  communities owned  during  the first six
      months of both 1995 and 1996  increased from 94.0% to 94.7%.

      Other income increased  by $0.1  million or 4%. On a per unit basis, other
      income increased  from $132 to $151 or 14%, due primarily  to increases in
      lease cancellation fees related to residents leaving to acquire homes.

      Interest income increased by $0.2 million due primarily to interest income
      from a mortgage originated by the Company.

      As a result of the above  changes,  total  revenues  decreased  from $65.4
      million  to $64.4  million  or 2%.  On a per  unit  basis,  total  revenue
      increased  from $3,232 to $3,511 (or from $539 to $585 per unit per month)
      or 9%.

      Property  operating and maintenance  expenses increased by $0.4 million or
      2%  primarily  as a result  of increased  turnover  costs  and  repair and
      maintenance  costs.  This  increase  is net  of $1.6  million of  decrease
      which represents 1995 property operating and maintenance expenses from the
      Disposition  Communities. On  a per  unit basis, these  expenses increased
      from $962 to $1,085 or 13% due primarily to the sale of communities having
      lower per unit operating costs than the currently owned communities.

      Real  estate  taxes  decreased  by $0.1  million  or 3%.  $0.2  million of
      decrease represents 1995 real estate taxes on the Disposition Communities.
      On a per unit basis,  real estate taxes  increased from $247 to $265 or 7%
      due primarily to increases in assessed values in certain cities.

      Property management expense decreased by $0.2 million or 7%. This decrease
      represents  1995 property  management  expense  related to the Disposition
      Communities.  On a per unit basis,  property  management expense increased
      from $126 to $129 or 3% due  primarily to the sale of  communities  having
      lower per unit management expenses than the currently owned communities.

      Interest  expense  decreased  by $3.0  million or 21%.  This  decrease  is
      primarily the result of reduced interest due to the repayment of debt from
      the  proceeds of the Series B  Preferred  Shares and from the sales of the
      Disposition Communities during 1995.

<PAGE>

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
            FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)


      General and administrative  expenses  decreased by $0.6 million.  On a per
      unit basis,  this expense decreased from $121 to $99 or 18%. This decrease
      is primarily the result of decreased  compensation  for certain  executive
      officers.

      Depreciation  and  amortization  decreased  by  $0.5  million  or  3%  due
      primarily to the disposition of communities.

3.    Liquidity and Capital Resources

      The  Company  expects  to  meet  its  short-term  liquidity   requirements
      generally   through  its  working   capital  and  cash  flow  provided  by
      operations.  The Company  considers  its  ability to  generate  cash to be
      adequate  and expects it to  continue  to be  adequate  to meet  operating
      requirements  and  shareholder   distributions  in  accordance  with  REIT
      requirements both in the short and long terms.

      The Company expects to meet its long-term  liquidity  requirements such as
      refinancing  mortgages,   financing  acquisitions  and  development,   and
      financing  capital   improvements  by  long-term  borrowings  through  the
      issuance  of  debt  and  the  offering  of  additional   debt  and  equity
      securities.

      The Company has a $150 million  unsecured  revolving  credit facility from
      The First National Bank of Boston (the "Bank of Boston Credit  Facility").
      At June 30, 1996, $24 million was outstanding on the Bank of Boston Credit
      Facility leaving $126 million undrawn.  The Bank of Boston Credit Facility
      may be used for financing acquisitions, development, capital expenditures,
      repayment of indebtedness and working capital purposes.
