      The Company recognized leasing fee income under a leasing agreement 
(the "Leasing Agreement") with Alexander's of $61,000 for the three months 
ended March 31, 1996 and $1,048,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1995, which included $915,000 applicable to 1993 and 1994 (no leasing fee
income was recognized prior to 1995 because required conditions had not been
met).  Subject to the payment of rents by Alexander's tenants, the Company is
due $5,592,000 at March 31, 1996 under such agreement.  The lease which the
Company had previously negotiated with Caldor on behalf of Alexander's for its
Rego Park I property was rejected in March 1996 in Caldor's bankruptcy
proceedings, resulting in $1,717,000 of previously recorded leasing fees
receivable and a corresponding credit (deferred leasing fee income) being
reversed in the quarter ended March 31, 1996.  In addition to the leasing fees
received by the Company, Vornado Management Corp. receives management fees from
Alexander's (see Note 3).

3.   VORNADO MANAGEMENT CORP.

     In July 1995, the Company assigned its management and development
agreement (the "Management Agreement") with Alexander's to Vornado Management
Corp. ("VMC").  In exchange, the Company received 100% of the non-voting
preferred stock of VMC which entitles it to 95% of the distributions by VMC to
its shareholders.  Steven Roth and Richard West, Trustees of the Company, own
the common stock of VMC.  In addition, the Company lent $5,000,000 to VMC for
working capital purposes under a three-year term loan bearing interest at the
prime rate plus 2%.  VMC is responsible for its pro-rata share of compensation
and fringe benefits of employees and 30% of other expenses which are common to
both Vornado and VMC.  This entity is not consolidated and accordingly, the
Company accounts for its investment in VMC on the equity method.  Below is a
summarized Statement of Operations of VMC for the three months ended March 31,
1996:

</TABLE>

      The fee income in the three months ended March 31, 1996 includes
$1,343,000 of fees related to the completion of the redevelopment of
Alexander's Rego Park I property.


4.    OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

      At March 31, 1996, there are amounts due to the Company from Mr. Rowan
($253,000) and Mr. Macnow ($227,000) in connection with the exercise of their
stock options in previous years.  The Company has agreed that on each January
1st (commencing January 1, 1997) to forgive one-fifth of the amounts due from
Mr. Rowan and Mr. Macnow, provided that they remain employees of the Company.

      The Company currently manages and leases the real estate assets of
Interstate Properties pursuant to a Management Agreement.  For the three months
ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, $331,000 and $194,000 of management fees were
earned by the Company pursuant to the Management Agreement.

5.    MORTGAGE NOTE RECEIVABLE

      In January 1996, the Company provided $17 million of debtor-in-possession
financing to Rickel Home Centers, Inc. ("Rickel"), which is operating under
Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.  The loan is secured by 29 of Rickel's
leasehold properties and has a term of one year plus two annual extensions, but
is due not later than the date on which Rickel's plan of reorganization is
confirmed.  The loan bears interest at 13% per annum for the first year and at
a fixed rate of LIBOR plus 7.50% for the extension periods.  In addition, the
Company received a loan origination fee of 2% or $340,000 and will receive an
additional fee of 2% of the outstanding principal amount on each extension.

6.    EMPLOYEES' SHARE OPTION PLAN

      In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS No. 123), which was effective for the Company
as of January 1, 1996.  SFAS No. 123 requires expanded disclosures of
stock-based compensation arrangements with employees and encourages, but does
not require compensation cost to be measured based on the fair value of the
equity instrument awarded.  Companies are permitted, however, to continue to
apply Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, which recognizes
compensation cost based on the intrinsic value of the equity instrument
awarded.  The Company will continue to apply APB Opinion No. 25 to its stock
based compensation awards to employees and will disclose the required pro forma
effect on net income and earnings per share in its annual financial statements.

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




RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      The Company's revenues, which consist of property rentals, tenant expense
reimbursements and other income were $28,610,000 in the quarter ended March 31,
1996, compared to $26,216,000 in the prior year's quarter, an increase of
$2,394,000 or 9.1%.

      Property rentals were $21,337,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 1996,
compared to $18,972,000 in the prior year's quarter, an increase of $2,365,000
or 12.5%.  Of this increase (i) $1,010,000 resulted from expansions of shopping
centers and the previous acquisition of a retail property, (ii) $959,000
resulted from step-ups in leases which are not subject to the straight-line
method of revenue recognition and (iii) $396,000 resulted from property rentals
received from new tenants exceeding property rentals lost from vacating
tenants.

      Tenant expense reimbursements were $6,881,000 in the quarter ended March
31, 1996, compared to $5,539,000 in the prior year's quarter, an increase of
$1,342,000.  This increase reflects a corresponding increase in operating
expenses passed through to tenants.

      Other income was $392,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 1996, compared
to $1,705,000 in the prior year's quarter, a decrease of $1,313,000.  This
decrease resulted primarily from the recognition of fee income in the first
quarter of 1995 in connection with the Leasing Agreement with Alexander's of
$915,000 applicable to 1993 and 1994 (no leasing fee income was recognized
prior to 1995 because required conditions had not been met). The prior year's
quarter also included $388,000 of fee income pursuant to the Management
Agreement with Alexander's, whereas this year, such income is included in
"Income from investment in and advances to Vornado Management Corp." (see
paragraph below).

      Operating expenses were $8,914,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 1996,
as compared to $7,560,000 in the prior year's quarter, an increase of
$1,354,000. This increase resulted primarily from higher snow removal costs,
which were passed through to tenants.

      Depreciation and amortization expense increased in 1996 as compared to
1995, primarily as a result of property expansions.

      General and administrative expenses were $1,189,000 in the quarter ended
March 31, 1996,  compared to $1,703,000 in the prior year's quarter, a decrease
of $514,000.  This decrease resulted primarily from a reduction in general
corporate office expenses resulting from the assignment of the Company's
Management Agreement with Alexander's to VMC in the third quarter of 1995.

      Income/(loss) applicable to Alexander's, which includes equity in loss,
depreciation and interest income on loan, is reflected for a full quarter in
1996 and for the period from March 2nd to March 31st in 1995.

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


      In July 1995, the Company assigned its Management Agreement with
Alexander's to VMC.  In exchange, the Company received 100% of the non-voting
preferred stock of VMC which entitles it to 95% of the distributions by VMC to
its shareholders.  In addition, the Company lent $5,000,000 to VMC for working
capital purposes under a three year term loan bearing interest at the prime
rate plus 2%.  VMC is responsible for its pro-rata share of compensation and
fringe benefits of employees and 30% of other  expenses which are common to
both Vornado and VMC.  Income from investment in and advances to VMC for the
three months ended March 31, 1996, consists of dividend income of $1,010,000
and interest income of $131,000.

      In January 1996, the Company lent Rickel Home Centers, Inc. ("Rickel")
$17,000,000.  The Company recognized $594,000 of interest income on this loan
to Rickel in the three months ended March 31, 1996.

      Investment income (interest and dividend income and net gains/(losses) on
marketable securities) was $1,229,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996,
compared to $1,436,000 in the prior year's quarter, a decrease of $207,000 or
14.4%.  This decrease resulted from interest income on investments in
Alexander's and Rickel being shown as separate line items on the Consolidated
Statements of Income this year.  This decrease was partially offset by an
increase in net gains on marketable securities of $500,000.

      The decrease in interest and debt expense for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 resulting from the repayment of borrowings under the revolving
credit facility was offset by a reduction in interest capitalized during
construction.

      The Company operates in a manner intended to enable it to qualify as a
real estate investment trust ("REIT") under Sections 856-860 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 as amended (the "Code").  Under those sections, a real
estate investment trust which distributes at least 95% of its REIT taxable
income as a dividend to its shareholders each year and which meets certain
other conditions will not be taxed on that portion of its taxable income which
is distributed to its shareholders.  The Company has distributed to its
shareholders an amount greater than its taxable income.  Therefore, no
provision for federal income taxes is required.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      Three Months Ended March 31, 1996

      Cash flows provided by operating activities of $18,202,000 was comprised
of (i) net income of $15,922,000 and (ii) adjustments for non-cash items of
$2,383,000, less (iii) the net change in operating assets and liabilities of
$103,000.  The adjustments for non-cash items are primarily comprised of
depreciation and amortization of $3,090,000, plus equity in loss of Alexander's
of $293,000, offset by the effect of straight-lining of rental income of
$642,000.  Further, during this period in connection with the rejection of a
lease by an Alexander's tenant "Leasing fees and other receivables" decreased
by $1,717,000 and "Deferred leasing fee income" correspondingly decreased.
"Leasing fees and other receivables" of $490,000 were collected during this
period. These amounts have been included in "Changes in assets and liabilities:

activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is

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.  Below are the cash flows provided by (used

      In January 1996, the Company provided $17 million of debtor-in-possession
financing to Rickel, which is operating under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy
Code.  The loan is secured by 29 of Rickel's leasehold properties and has a
term of one year plus two annual extensions, but is due not later than the date
on which Rickel's plan of reorganization is confirmed.  The loan bears interest
at 13% per annum for the first year and at a fixed rate of LIBOR plus 7.50% for
the extension periods.  In addition, the Company received a loan origination
fee of 2% or $340,000 and will receive an additional fee of 2% of the
outstanding principal amount on each extension.

      At March 31, 1996, the Company had $10,000,000 of borrowings outstanding
under its unsecured revolving credit facility which provides for borrowings of
up to $75,000,000.  Borrowings bear annual interest, at the Company's election,
at LIBOR plus 1.50% or the higher of the federal funds rate plus 1% or prime
rate plus .50%.


      The Company anticipates that cash from continuing operations, net liquid
assets, borrowings under its revolving credit facility and/or proceeds from the
issuance of securities under the Company's shelf registration statement will be
adequate to fund its business operations, capital expenditures, continuing debt
obligations and the payment of dividends.
