ITEM 2 .           ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

                  On September 27, 1999, American Real Estate Investment
                  Corporation (the "Company") consummated its acquisition of
                  Reckson Morris Operating Partnership, L.P. ("RMOP") from
                  Reckson Morris Industrial Trust, Reckson Operating
                  Partnership, L.P., Robert Morris, Joseph D. Morris and
                  certain of their related entities (collectively, the "Morris
                  Contributors") pursuant to a Contribution and Exchange
                  Agreement (the "Contribution Agreement"), dated as of
                  August 6, 1999 which was filed as an exhibit to a Report on
                  Form 8-K dated August 6, 1999 filed by the Company on
                  August 20, 1999. Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement,
                  entities owning 28 "big box" industrial facilities will be
                  contributed in three stages to the Company in exchange for
                  approximately $300,000,000 in a combination of Preferred
                  Stock and Common Stock of the Company, Preferred Units of
                  the Company's Operating Partnership, American Real Estate
                  Investment, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), the assumption
                  of mortgage indebtedness and cash.

                  In the first stage, the Company acquired RMOP, which owns 22
                  warehouses comprising approximately 3.9 million square feet
                  and 105 acres of ground, which will accommodate an
                  additional 1.5 million square feet of development. The
                  total consideration for this stage was approximately $205
                  million, including closing costs, consisting of the
                  issuance to the Contributors of 103,878 shares of Common
                  Stock of the Company, 1.6 million shares of Series B
                  Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company, 1,434,136
                  Series C Convertible Preferred Units of limited partnership
                  interest in the Operating Partnership, the assumption of
                  approximately $16.4 million in assumed mortgage
                  indebtedness and approximately $105.5 million in cash. The
                  Company financed the cash portion of the consideration
                  through approximately $98 million of mortgage financing and
                  from part of the proceeds of a private placement of 800,000
                  shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock of the
                  Company to three institutional investors. None of the
                  securities issued to the Contributors were registered
                  under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and they may
                  not be sold in the United States absent registration or an
                  applicable exemption from registration. The Company has
                  agreed to grant the Contributors certain registration
                  rights with respect to Common Stock of the Company issued
                  in the transaction and Common Stock of the Company issued
                  upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
                  of the Company and the Series C Convertible Preferred Units
                  of limited partnership interest in the Operating
                  Partnership.

                  In the second and third stages, we will acquire entities
                  each owning three buildings containing 1.1 million square
                  feet for a total of six buildings aggregating 2.2 million
                  square feet. The second and third stages are expected to
                  close early next year for a total consideration of
                  approximately $50 million and $48 million, respectively.

                  As part of this transaction, the Company entered into a
                  development agreement with Robert and Joseph Morris and
                  certain of their related entities pursuant to which the
                  Company and the Morrises will jointly develop all of the
                  Morris's New Jersey industrial investment opportunities for
                  three years and jointly develop the land to be acquired by the
                  Company in this transaction.

ITEM 5.           OTHER EVENTS

                  As discussed in Item 2 above, the Company issued in a

                  exemption from registration. The Company has agreed to
                  grant the Investors certain registration rights set forth
                  in the registration rights agreements. The Series C
                  Convertible Preferred Shares have a conversion price of
                  $15.75, a distribution rate of 9.75% per annum and are
                  convertible at any time, at the Investors' option. The
                  liquidation preference of each share of Series C
                  Convertible Preferred Stock is $25.00. The Company may

                  approximately $19.0 million from the sale were used to
                  finance a portion of the first stage of the transaction
                  discussed in Item 2 above and for working capital.

To American Real Estate Investment Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying combined statement of revenue and certain
expenses of Reckson Morris Industrial Portfolio for the year ended December
31, 1998. This financial statement is the responsibility of the Portfolio's
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 statement of revenue and certain expenses was prepared for the purpose of
complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission for inclusion in a current report on Form 8-K of American Real
Estate Investment Corporation as described in Note 1 and is not intended to
be a complete presentation of the Portfolio's revenue and expenses.

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The statement of revenue and certain expenses reflects the operations of
Reckson Morris Industrial Portfolio. On August 6, 1999, American Real Estate
Investment Corporation (the "Company") entered into a Contribution and
Exchange Agreement to acquire certain entities owning real property from
Reckson Morris Industrial Trust, Reckson Operating Partnership, L.P., Robert
Morris, Joseph D. Morris and certain related entities. Pursuant to the
Contribution Agreement, entities owning 28 "big box" industrial facilities
aggregating 6.1 million square feet will be contributed to the Company in
exchange for approximately $300 million of preferred stock and common stock
of the Company, preferred units of the Company's operating partnership,
(American Real Estate Investment, L.P.), cash, and assumed indebtedness. The
Company expects to finance the cash portion of the consideration through
mortgage financing and other capital transactions. The mortgage financing
will be funded from proceeds of a $98 million loan from an institutional
lender with a six-year term and a fixed rate of 7.45%. In acquiring these
industrial facilities, the Company will acquire approximately 111 acres of
land, supporting approximately 1.6 million square feet of development and
definitive options for approximately 259 additional acres of land, supporting
approximately 2.9 million square feet of development. The acquisition is
expected to close in three stages, subject to the satisfaction of certain
customary closing conditions. Stage I, which includes 22 buildings (the
"Stage I Properties") representing approximately 3.9 million square feet is
expected to close in September 1999. Stages II and III, each comprised of
three buildings containing 1.1 million square feet for a total of six
buildings aggregating 2.2 million square feet, are expected to close by April
30, 2000. All of the Stage I properties are currently owned by Reckson Morris
Operating Partnership, L.P. The Stage I Properties are identified in the
following table:

The 21 Cranbury property was under development at December 31, 1998 and had
not generated revenue or incurred operating expenses during the year ended
December 31, 1998. This property was placed in operation subsequent to
December 1998 and the revenue and certain expenses are included in the period
ended June 30, 1999.

The average occupancy for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and year ended
December 31, 1998 for the Stage I Properties is approximately 98.5% and
92.6%, respectively.

This combined statement of revenue and certain expenses is to be included in
the Company's current report on Form 8-K, as the above-described transaction
has been deemed significant pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

The accounting records of the Stage I Properties are maintained on an accrual
basis. The accompanying financial statement excludes certain expenses such as
interest, depreciation and amortization, professional fees, and other costs
not directly related to the future operations of the Stage I Properties.

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 revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. The ultimate results could differ from those estimates.

The combined statement of revenue and certain expenses for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 is unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for
the fair presentation of the combined statement of revenue and certain
expenses for the interim period have been included. The results of the
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full
year.

2.   OPERATING LEASES:

Minimum rent presented includes straight-line adjustments for rental revenue
increases in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The
aggregate rental revenue increase resulting from the straight-line adjustment
for the year ended December 31, 1998 was $410,394 and for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 was $263,429 (unaudited).

The following tenants account for greater than 10% of annual minimum rent for
the year ended December 31, 1998:

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The statement of revenue and certain expenses reflects the operations of the

as of December 31, 1998). This statement of revenue and certain expenses is
to be included in the Company's current report on Form 8-K.

The accounting records of the Property are maintained on an accrual basis.
Adjusting entries have been made to present the accompanying financial statement
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying

amortization, professional fees, and other costs not directly related to the
future operations of the Property in conformity with Rule 3-14 of the Securities

affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
The actual results could differ from those estimates.

ended June 30, 1999 is unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for
the fair presentation of the combined statement of revenue and certain
expenses for the interim period have been included. The results of the
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full
year.

date extending to the year 2003. The lease commenced on August 3, 1998 upon

           600 Hagerty Drive                                 126,250                    I
           1411 Majestic Drive                               181,350                    I
           605 Hagerty Drive                                  76,464                    I
           670 Hagerty Drive                                 100,272                    I
           300 Enterprise Drive                              181,838                   II

</TABLE>

The Phase I Properties were acquired by American Real Estate
Investment Corporation (the "Company") from Poly-Foam International, Inc.
("the Seller") in April, 1999 for a purchase price of approximately
$13,200,000. The Phase II Properties were acquired in September, 1999 for a
purchase price of approximately $8,500,000. These properties have an
aggregate net rentable area of approximately 839,724 square feet (95.3%
leased as of December 31, 1998). This combined statement of revenue and
certain expenses is to be included in the Company's current report on Form
8-K.

The accompanying financial statement excludes certain expenses such as interest,
depreciation and amortization, professional fees, and other costs not directly
related to the future operations of the Properties in conformity with Rule 3-14
of the Securities and Exchange Commission.


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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
The actual results could differ from those estimates.

The combined statement of revenue and certain expenses for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 is unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for
the fair presentation of the combined statement of revenue and certain
expenses for the interim period have been included. The results of the interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

2.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

The Seller, leases space in each of the seven properties and paid to the
Properties $1,571,015 of minimum rent for the year ended December 31, 1998.
The expenses related to the Seller's occupancy of the Properties were paid by
the Properties, and were not reimbursed by the Seller because of the related
party relationship. Under the terms of the lease signed by the Company with
Polyfoam in connection with the sale transaction, the Seller will reimburse
the Company for its share of future operating expenses applicable to its
leased space.

3.   OPERATING LEASES:

Poly-Foam paid $1,571,015 of minimum rent that accounts for greater than 10% of
annual minimum rent for the year ended December 31, 1998.

The Properties are leased to tenants under operating leases with expiration
dates extending to the year 2008. Future minimum rentals under noncancellable
operating leases, which exclude future related party rental revenue for which
there are no rental agreements, as of December 31, 1998, are as follows:
