its interest from 5.6% to approximately 50% in 570 Lexington
Avenue, a 49 story office building located in midtown
Manhattan containing approximately 435,000 square feet. The
purchase price for the acquisition of the additional interest
was approximately $37.2 million, including $4.9 million in
the assumption of existing debt. The transaction was financed
with existing cash.
On June 2, 1998, Vornado entered into an agreement to acquire
the leasehold interest in 888 Seventh Avenue, a 46 story
office building containing approximately 847,000 square feet
located in midtown Manhattan and simultaneously acquired 40
Fulton Street, a 29 story office building containing
approximately 234,000 square feet located in downtown
Manhattan. The aggregate consideration for both buildings is
approximately $154.5 million, consisting of $109.5 million in
cash and $45 million in the assumption of existing debt. The
acquisition of 40 Fulton Street was financed with borrowings
under the revolving credit facility. The acquisition of 888
Seventh Avenue is expected to be completed not later than the
third quarter of 1999 in conjunction with other unrelated
transactions to be effected by the seller, and is subject to
customary closing conditions. The transaction is expected to
be financed with borrowings under the revolving credit
facility.
On June 15, 1998, Vornado entered into an agreement to acquire
two Manhattan office buildings, 770 Broadway, which contains
approximately 1,000,000 square feet and 314 West 40th Street
which contains approximately 75,000 square feet. The aggregate
consideration for both buildings is approximately $168
million. The acquisitions, which are subject to customary
closing conditions, are expected to be completed in the third
quarter of 1998. The acquisitions are expected to be financed
with borrowings under the revolving credit facility.
Interstate Properties ("Interstate"), a New Jersey general
partnership and its respective partners, Steven Roth (Chairman
of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Vornado), David
Mendelbaum (a trustee of Vornado) and Russell B. Wight, Jr. (a
trustee of Vornado) own approximately two percent of one of
the sellers of 770 Broadway and 314 West 40th Street.
These transactions were arrived at through arms-length
negotiations and were, or will be consummated through
subsidiaries of Vornado Realty L.P., a limited partnership of
which Vornado owns a 91.2% limited partnership interest at May
31, 1998 and is the sole general partner.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To The Trustees
Vornado Realty Trust
We have audited the consolidated statement of revenues and certain
expenses of New York Equities Company and subsidiary (the "Partnership"), as
described in Note 1, for the year ended September 30, 1997. This consolidated
financial statement is the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on this consolidated financial statement
based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The accompanying consolidated statement of revenues and certain
expenses was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (for inclusion in the
filing of Form 8-K/A of Vornado Realty Trust), and is not intended to be a
complete presentation of the Partnership's revenues and expenses.
In our opinion, the financial statement referred to above presents
fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and certain expenses of New York
Equities Company and subsidiary, as described in Note 1, for the year ended
September 30, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF REVENUES AND CERTAIN EXPENSES
SEPTEMBER 30, 1997
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
New York Equities Company is a New York limited partnership which owns
and operates two commercial office buildings in New York City (770
Broadway, which contains approximately 1 million square feet and 314
West 40th Street, which contains approximately 75,000 square feet).
The consolidated statement of revenues and certain expenses includes
the accounts of New York Equities Company and its wholly-owned
subsidiary, NYE Realty, LLC. Material intercompany items and
transactions have been eliminated. The Partnership and its subsidiary
are hereinafter referred to as the "Partnership".
The accompanying consolidated financial statement has been prepared in
accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission for the acquisition of real estate properties.
Accordingly, the consolidated financial statement excludes certain
expenses that may not be comparable to those expected to be incurred by
Vornado Realty Trust in the proposed future operations of the
Partnership. It is expected that the Partnership will be acquired by
Vornado Realty Trust in July 1998. Items excluded consist of interest,
depreciation, amortization, management fees and certain administrative
costs.
NOTE 2 - USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

NOTE 3 - RENTAL PROPERTIES
Future minimum rentals to be received by the Partnership pursuant to
noncancellable operating leases are as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Years Ending
September 30, Amount

<S> <C>
1998 $11,879,000

2000 12,399,000
2001 10,554,000
2002 10,234,000
</TABLE>
At September 30, 1997, the Partnership recorded unbilled rent
receivable aggregating $5,886,275, representing rent reported on the
straight-line basis in excess of rental payments required under the
initial term of the leases. The unbilled rent receivable will vary
based upon the difference between the straight-line basis and the
actual cash payments due under the leases. The minimum future rentals
presented above include amounts applicable to the repayment of this
unbilled rent receivable.
A major tenant occupies premises leased from New York Equities Company
under a lease expiring in 2005 with a cancellation date, at the
tenant's discretion, of June 2000. In October 1996, the tenant
subleased a majority of said premises, effective January 4, 1997, to
NYE Realty, LLC. The tenant paid $3,000,000 to NYE Realty, LLC in
exchange for the right to enter into the sublease agreement. This
income is being amortized over the noncancellable term of the sublease.
As of September 30, 1997, $2,357,000 was included in deferred rental
income. However, the tenant remains primarily obligated to New York
Equities Company for rentals under its lease.

NOTES TO STATEMENTS OF REVENUES AND CERTAIN EXPENSES
1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
888 7th Avenue (the "Property") is a 46-story office building located
on Seventh Avenue at 56th Street in New York City. The Property has
aggregate net rentable area of approximately 843,000 square feet
(approximately 95% leased as of March 31, 1998). The accounting records for
the Property are maintained in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. The statements of revenues and certain expenses
include information related to the operations of 888 7th Avenue as recorded
by the office building's current owner.
The accompanying historical financial information is presented in
conformity with Rule 3-14 of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Accordingly, the financial statements are not representative of the actual
operations for the periods presented as certain expenses, which may not be
comparable to the expenses expected to be incurred in the future operations
of the acquired property, have been excluded. Expenses excluded consist of
interest, depreciation and amortization, and other costs not directly
related to the future operations of the property.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
The statements of revenues and certain expenses for the three month
periods ended March 30, 1997 and 1998 are unaudited, however, in the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal
recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of these
statements of revenues and certain expenses for the interim periods, on the
basis described above, have been included. The results of such interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for an entire year.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
REVENUE RECOGNITION - Rental income is recognized from leases with
scheduled rent increases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Escalation rents based upon payments for real estate taxes, insurance,
utilities and maintenance by tenants are estimated and accrued.

</TABLE>
4. GROUND LEASE
The office building is located on land subject to a ground lease which
expires in 2066. The annual rent is $375,000, plus real estate taxes and
other expenses. Commencing in June 1998, and continuing for a period of
five years, rent will increase by the difference between $375,000 and an
amount equal to 6% of the value of the land at May 29, 1998. The ground
lease provides that payment of this rent increase will be deferred and paid
in equal monthly installments over a five year period commencing in June
2003. To date the valuation of the land required to determine rent expense
for the period commencing June 1998 has not been obtained.
Commencing in June 2003 and continuing for a period of twenty-three years,
ground rent shall be further increased by the difference between $400,000
and an amount equal to 6% of the value of the land at May 29, 1998.
Additionally, the deferred rents referred to above will become payable in
equal monthly installments over a five year period. The ground lease
provides for further increases in rent during 2028 and 2048 based upon
increases in the value of the land.

(1) Certain revenue and expense items have been reclassified to conform to

(2) Funds from operations does not represent cash generated from operating
activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and
is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs which is
disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the applicable
periods. There are no material legal or functional restrictions on the use
of funds from operations. Funds from 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.
Management considers funds from operations a supplemental measure of
operating performance and along with cash flow from operating activities,
financing activities, and investing activities, it provides investors with
an indication of the ability of the Company to incur and service debt, to
make capital expenditures and to fund other cash needs. Funds from
operations may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by
other REITs since a number of REITs, including the Company's, method of
calculating funds from operations is different from that used by NAREIT.
Funds from operations, as defined by NAREIT, represents net income
applicable to common shares before depreciation and amortization,
extraordinary items and gains or losses on sales of real estate. Funds from
operations as disclosed above has been modified to adjust for the effect of
straight-lining of property rentals for rent escalations and leasing fee
income.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
Basis of Pro Forma:
The Condensed Consolidated Pro Forma Income Statement for the year ended
December 31, 1997 is based on the Related Pro Forma Income Statement filed as
part of the Form 8-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
April 9, 1998 in connection with the acquisition of the Merchandise Mart Group
of Properties. The Condensed Consolidated Pro Forma Income Statement for the
quarter ended March 31, 1998 is based on historical data as reported in
Vornado's Form 10-Q.
The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Pro Forma Financial Statements were
prepared to give Pro Forma effect to the proposed acquisition of 888 Seventh
Avenue and the completed acquisitions of 770 Broadway, 314 West 40th Street and
the additional interest in 570 Lexington Avenue, the previously reported
acquisitions and investments (Mendik Company, 90 Park Avenue, Arbor Property
Trust, Americold Corporation and URS Logistics, Inc., The Montehiedra Town
Center, The Riese Transaction, 15% investment in Charles E. Smith Commercial
Realty L.P., 40% investment in The Hotel Pennsylvania, 640 Fifth Avenue, One
Penn Plaza, 150 East 58th Street and the Merchandise Mart Group of Properties)
are included in "Historical Vornado" from their respective dates of acquisition.
The column headed "Previously Reported Acquisitions" includes the results of
operations of those entities for the period of time during 1998 prior to their
acquisition. The Pro Forma data for certain previously completed acquisitions,
which were disclosed in Form 8-K's previously filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission has been updated to (i) include information through March
31, 1998 and (ii) reflect pro forma adjustments to revenues for straight-line
rents for the period, depreciation adjustments based upon the new basis of the
acquired assets, interest expense on debt used to fund the acquisition and
additional minority interest.
Acquisitions were consummated through subsidiaries or preferred stock
affiliates of Vornado and were recorded under the purchase method of accounting.
Net assets have been included in these financial statements since their
respective dates of acquisition. The respective purchase costs were allocated to
acquired assets and assumed liabilities using their relative fair values as of
the closing dates, based on valuations and other studies which are not yet
complete. Accordingly, the initial valuations are subject to change as such
information is finalized. Vornado believes that any such change will not be
significant since the allocations were principally to real estate.
The following adjustments were required to give pro forma effect to the
transactions being reported:
Pro Forma March 31, 1998 Balance Sheet:
(A) Reflects the acquisition of 888 Seventh Avenue for approximately $100
million, consisting of $55 million in cash and the assumption of $45
million in existing debt.
(B) Reflects the acquisitions of 770 Broadway and 314 West 40th Street with
borrowings under the revolving credit facility for approximately $168
million.
(C) Reflects an increased interest in 570 Lexington Avenue to approximately
50% for $31 million.
(D) Net proceeds received from the sale of approximately 1.1 million common
shares to a unit investment trust on April 29, 1998.
(E) To record the net proceeds from the 10 million common share offering on
April 15, 1998 used to repay indebtedness under the revolving credit
facility.
