AMERICAN REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT CORPORATION UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED 
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following sets forth the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidating balance
sheet at September 30, 1998 and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidating
statements of operations for American Real Estate Investment Corporation (the
"Company") for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and the year ended
December 31, 1997.

The pro forma condensed consolidating financial information should be read in
conjunction with the historical financial statements of the Company and those
acquisitions deemed significant pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

The unaudited pro forma consolidating financial information is presented as if
the following events occurred on September 30, 1998 for balance sheet purposes
and on January 1, 1997 for purposes of the statements of operations:

- -    The Company acquired the properties described in Note 1 to these pro forma
     financial statements.

- -    THE QUADRANGLES VILLAGE APARTMENTS, AMERICANA LAKEWOOD APARTMENTS AND OTHER
     PROPERTY DISPOSITIONS. On June 24, 1998, the Company sold Quadrangles
     Village Apartments, a 510-unit apartment building located in Tempe, Arizona
     for approximately $26,500,000. On January 9, 1998, the Company consummated
     the sale of a 300-unit multi-family residential property known as Americana
     Lakewood Apartments located in the metropolitan Denver area for a gross
     sales price of $15,066,000. During 1997, the Company also sold three other
     directly owned and one indirectly owned multi-family residential properties
     (Timberleaf, Sedona, International and Emerald Point).

- -    The Company's private placement on July 9, 1998 of 1,092,051 shares of
     Common Stock with certain institutional investors for approximately
     $18,000,000 and the use of net proceeds of $17,440,000 to repay
     indebtedness under the Company's credit facility.

- -    The Company's private placement on August 19, 1998 of 720,743 shares of its
     Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $11,400,000 were issued to
     the New York State Common Retirement Fund as partial repayment of certain
     indebtedness encumbering certain properties in the Pioneer Portfolio.

- -    The Company's private placement on December 24, 1998 of 800,000 shares of
     its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to AEW Targeted Securities Fund,
     L.P. ("AEW") for net proceeds of approximately $19,500,000 was used to 
     repay outstanding indebtedness. The Convertible Preferred Shares have a 
     conversion price of $16.50, a distribution rate of 9% per annum and are 
     convertible at any time, at AEW's option. The liquidation preference of 
     each Convertible Preferred Share is $25.00. The Company may redeem the 
     Convertible Preferred Shares at any time on or after December 15, 2003.

The acquisition transactions described in Note 1 to these pro forma financial 
statements were accounted for in the pro forma financial statements using the 
purchase method of accounting.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS





To American Real Estate Investment Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying combined statement of revenue and certain
expenses of Chambersburg Properties for the year ended December 31, 1997. 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 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 Properties' revenue and expenses.

In our opinion, the financial statement referred to above presents fairly, in
all material respects, the combined revenue and certain expenses of Chambersburg
Properties for the year ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

                                DECEMBER 31, 1997



1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The combined statement of revenue and certain expenses reflects the operations
of the Chambersburg Properties (the "Properties"), which include the following
three buildings, all located in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania:

<TABLE>

                                                1,396,600
</TABLE>

Nitterhouse and Sheffler are expected to be acquired from WCN Limited
Partnership and Molly Pitcher from Franklin Storage, Inc. ("Franklin") by
American Real Estate Investment Corporation (the "Company"). WCN Limited
Partnership and Franklin are referred to herein as the "Sellers". The 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 Chambersburg Properties are maintained on a cash
basis. Adjusting entries have been made to present the accompanying financial
statement in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The
accounting records of Franklin 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 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.

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The combined statement of revenue and certain expenses for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 is unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for
the fair presentation of the 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 in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The minimum rent
straight-line adjustments resulted in a $7,000 decrease for the year ended
December 31, 1997 and an increase of $16,000 (unaudited) for the nine months
ending September 30, 1998.

The following tenants account for greater than 10% of annual minimum rent for
the year ended December 31, 1997:

Sheffler                  Titan Distribution Inc.                  $  470,000
</TABLE>

The Properties are leased to tenants under operating leases with expiration
dates extending to the year 2011. Future minimum rentals under noncancelable
operating leases, excluding tenant reimbursements of operating expenses as of
December 31, 1997, are as follows:

                    1998               $ 3,844,000
                    1999               $ 3,813,000
                    2000               $ 2,891,000
                    2001               $ 2,479,000
                    2002               $ 2,122,000
                    Thereafter         $14,553,000

Certain leases also include provisions requiring tenants to reimburse the
Property for management costs and other operating expenses up to stipulated
amounts.

3.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

Franklin, one of the Sellers, leases 100% of the space at Nitterhouse and
366,400 square feet of space at Molly Pitcher. Franklin paid $1,774,000 and
$1,511,000 (unaudited) of minimum rent for the year ended December 31, 1997 and
for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, respectively for both leases. The
expenses related to Franklin are paid by the Properties, yet are not reimbursed
by Franklin because of the related party relationship. These expenses totaled
$207,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997 and $157,000 (unaudited) for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998 and are not included in tenant
reimbursements in the accompanying financial statements. Upon consummation of
the sale to the Company, Franklin will reimburse the Company for its share of
all future expenses applicable to its leased space.

4.   SUBSEQUENT EVENT

The Company entered into a letter of intent in August 1998 to purchase the
Properties for a purchase price of $48,951,000. This acquisition was consummated
on October 30, 1998 and was funded by the Company's credit facility and term 
debt.

</TABLE>

Each of the properties, with the exception of 351 West 10th Street was acquired

4400 West 96th Street were not leased until 1998 as they were under development
at December 31, 1997. The combined statement of revenue and certain expenses is

described transaction has been deemed significant pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

depreciation and amortization, professional fees, and other costs not directly
related to the future operations of the Portfolio.

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.

           NOTES TO COMBINED STATEMENT OF REVENUE AND CERTAIN EXPENSES

                                DECEMBER 31, 1997



1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The combined statement of revenue and certain expenses reflects the operations
of the Brashier Portfolio (the "Portfolio"), located in South Carolina. The
Portfolio was acquired by American Real Estate Investment Corporation (the
"Company") from various entities under the common control of T. Walter Brashier
and Associates (the "Seller") on December 24, 1998. The Portfolio has an
aggregate net rentable area of approximately 2,286,000 square feet. At December
31, 1997, two buildings with a net rentable area of 110,000 were under
construction. These buildings were occupied in January 1998. The remaining
portion of the portfolio was 100% leased at December 31, 1997. 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 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 Portfolio.

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 nine months ended
September 30, 1998 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.
