To the Partners of the Partnerships and Members of the LLC's:
We have audited the accompanying combined statement of revenue and certain
operating expenses (described in Note 2) of THE MERCHANDISE MART GROUP OF
PROPERTIES ("Properties") (See Note 1) for the year ended December 31, 1996.
This financial statement is the responsibility of the Properties' management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this 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 statement is free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement. 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 combined statement of revenue and certain expenses was prepared
for the purpose of complying with Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X of the Securities
and Exchange Commission for inclusion in the Form 8-K/A of Vornado Realty Trust
and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Properties' revenue
and certain expenses.
In our opinion, the combined financial statement referred to above presents
fairly, in all material respects, the revenue and certain operating expenses of
The Merchandise Mart Group of Properties (See Note 1) for the year ended

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The combined statement of revenue and certain operating expenses for the year
ended December 31, 1996 and the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1997
relates to the operations of the Properties. The accompanying financial
statement excludes certain expenses, such as interest, depreciation and
amortization, professional fees, revenue and expenses related to land held for

Management is
Page 6
<PAGE> 7
- 2 -
not aware of any material factors relating to the Properties which would
cause the reported financial information not to be necessarily indicative of
future operating results.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. BASIS OF REPORTING-The financial statement is presented on the accrual
basis of accounting.
b. RENTAL REVENUE-Rentals from tenants with scheduled rent increases and
rent abatements are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over
the respective lease term.
c. 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 revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
4. HOTEL LEASE
WTCC is a party to a lease with a hotel operator whereby the operator, at its
own expense, constructed a hotel atop The Apparel Center. The lease, which
has a term of 65 years commencing January, 1977, provides for an annual base
rental of $159,600, additional rent payable based on hotel revenue, as
defined, and an allocation of certain real estate taxes, rehabilitation and
maintenance costs.
5. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Merchandise Mart Properties, Inc. (Delaware) ("MMPI-(Del.)"), which is owned
by certain of the owners of the Properties, owns Merchandise Mart Properties,
Inc. ("MMPI"). As a convenience, certain amounts are disbursed or collected
by one entity on behalf of another.
a. The Properties reimburse MMPI for certain payroll-related expenses
incurred on behalf of The Properties.
b. The Properties paid MMPI management fees of $2,780,526 during 1996. Fees
are calculated using various percentages of gross revenues as adjusted for
uncollectible accounts and as summarized below:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

TYPE OF REVENUE PERCENTAGE
---------------------------------------------------- ----------
<S> <C>
Showroom (Chicago) 3.0%
Showroom (Washington D.C.) 2.0%
Office, retail, exposition, hotel parking and tenant
services 1.5%
</TABLE>
During 1996, MMPI became a tenant of MMOL. MMPI is master leasing the
entire 8th floor for the development and operation of the new market
suite showrooms.
Page 7
<PAGE> 8
- 3 -
The space consists of 163,133 rentable square feet. The lease period
commenced June 1, 1996 through December 31, 2006, a term of 10 years, 7
months. MMPI shall pay to MMOL a monthly amount equal to the base rent,
as defined. MMPI paid MMOL $1,141,931 during 1996.
Mart Franchise Center, Inc., a subsidiary of MMPI, doing business as
Franchising and Licensing World Center ("FLWC"), Inc., is currently
master leasing 35,498 rentable square feet located on the 2nd floor of
MMOL. The FLWC is a permanent exhibition/sales facility for the
franchising and licensing industries as well as provides related support
services. The lease period commenced January 1, 1996, and continues
through March 31, 2016, a term of 20 years, 3 months. FLWC's monthly base
rent is equal to $64,333 as required by the lease. FLWC's base rent under
the terms and conditions within the lease was abated for a term of eleven
(11) months effective January 1, 1996 through November 30, 1996.
6. FUTURE MINIMUM RENTALS UNDER TENANT LEASES

2001 48,326,000
Future years 200,861,000
------------
Total future minimum rentals $541,646,000
============
</TABLE>
7. PROPERTY DAMAGE INSURANCE
Property damage insurance for the Apparel Center and the Merchandise Mart
is written on a combined, agreed amount basis. The combined, agreed amount
exceeds the replacement value of the Apparel Center. However, based on
management's evaluation, the combined replacement value of the Apparel
Center and the Merchandise Mart structures and other personal property
exceeds the insured coverage.
8. SALE OF EQUIPMENT
On December 31, 1996, pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, MMOL sold
and transferred to Unicom Thermal Technologies, Inc. ("UTT") certain
fixtures and equipment to be used by UTT in the production of chilled water.
Page 8
<PAGE> 9
- 4 -
The purchase price for the fixtures and equipment was, in the aggregate,
$7,680,000. Payment of the purchase price is divided into three equal
installments of $2,560,000. The first installment was received by MMOL on
December 31, 1996. The second installment was received on December 30, 1997
and the third installment is due on December 31, 1998.
Contemporaneously with the sale of fixtures and equipment, MMOL and UTT
entered into a lease, pursuant to which MMOL will lease certain space to
UTT in The Merchandise Mart and a chilled water service agreement by which
UTT will provide The Merchandise Mart with chilled water.
Pursuant to the chilled water service agreement UTT agreed to meet MMOL's
cooling needs in the building up to the contract capacity on the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth within the chilled water service
agreement. MMOL is obligated to pay UTT the contract capacity charge equal
to $90,735 usage charge or any other charges every month with respect to
service during the term of this agreement.
The commencement date was January 1, 1997. The term of this agreement is
for twenty (20) years subject to early termination or extension as provided
for within the agreement, as defined. Simultaneously MMOL and UTT entered
into a lease agreement. The lease term is the same as specifically provided
in the chilled water service agreement. Commencing on January 1, 2002 (the
rent commencement date) UTT shall pay to MMOL an annual base rent equal to
$155,000, payable in equal monthly installments. The base rent shall be
adjusted on an annual basis in accordance with the escalation provision, as
defined.
UTT is obligated to pay all costs of the operation of UTT's business in the
building, including utility charges. Following the expiration or
termination of the chilled water service agreement, certain fixtures and
equipment purchased by UTT pursuant to the asset purchase agreement are
required to be returned to MMOL.
