PART I
ITEM 1.    BUSINESS

     THE COMPANY

     Home Properties of New York, Inc. ("Home Properties" or the "Company") is
     a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT")
     that owns, manages, acquires, rehabilitates and develops apartment
     communities.  The Company's properties are regionally focused in the
     Northeastern, Mid-Atlantic and Midwestern United States.  It was formed to
     continue and expand the operations of Home Leasing Corporation ("Home
     Leasing").  The Company completed an initial public offering of 5,408,000
     shares of common stock (the "IPO") on August 4, 1994.

     The Company conducts its business through Home Properties of New York,
     L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), a New York limited partnership in
     which the Company held a 62.4% partnership interest as of December 31,
     1999 (64% at December 31, 1998) and two management companies (the
     "Management Companies") - Home Properties Management, Inc. ("HP
     Management") and Conifer Realty Corporation ("Conifer Realty"), both of
     which are Maryland corporations.

     Home Properties, through its affiliates described above, as of December
     31, 1999,  operated 291 communities with 44,982 apartment units. Of these,
     33,807 units in 126 communities are owned outright (the "Owned
     Properties"), 7,710 units in 125 communities are managed and partially
     owned by the Company as general partner, and 3,465 units in 40 communities
     are managed for other owners (collectively, the "Managed Properties").
     The Management Companies and the Operating Partnership are also involved
     in the development and redevelopment of government-assisted  apartment
     communities and certain other development activities.

     The Owned Properties and the Managed Properties (collectively, the
     "Properties") are concentrated in the following market areas:

</TABLE>
     Subsequent to December 31, 1999 and as of March 16, 2000, the Company
     has acquired 2,113 additional units in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

     The Company's mission is to provide investors with dependable
     financial returns that exceed those of comparable investments.  The
     Company intends to pursue this mission in a socially responsible
     manner, by remaining committed to improving the quality of life for
     its residents, enhancing the broader communities in which the Company
     operates and providing employees with opportunities for growth and
     accomplishment.

     The Company's business strategy includes:  (i) aggressively managing
     and improving its communities to achieve increased net operating
     income; (ii) acquiring additional apartment communities with
     attractive returns at prices significantly below replacement costs;
     (iii) selectively developing and rehabilitating  apartment communities
     that serve low to moderate income households to generate management
     and  development fee revenues and (iv) maintaining a conservative
     capital structure with cost effective access to the capital markets.

     STRUCTURE

     The Company was formed in November, 1993 as a Maryland corporation and
     is the general partner of the Operating Partnership.  On December 31,
     1999, it owned a 62.4% interest in the Operating Partnership - one
     percent as general partner and the remainder as a limited partner
     through its wholly owned subsidiary, Home Properties Trust.  A portion
     of the limited partner interests held by Home Properties Trust as of
     December 31, 1999 consisted of all of the Class A Limited Partnership
     Interests (1,666,667 interests or 4.5% of the total interests in the
     Operating Partnership) and all of the Series B Limited Partnership
     Units (2,000,000 units or 5.4% of the total).  Those preferred
     interests in the Operating Partnership have rights and preferences
     that mirror the rights and preferences of the holders of the Series A
     and Series B preferred shares in Home Properties held by the State of
     Michigan Retirement Systems and GE Capital Equity Investment, Inc.,
     respectively.  The remaining units (19,225,470 or 51.5% of the total)
     held by Home Properties Trust have basically the same rights as the
     other limited partner interests (the "Units") in the Operating
     Partnership.  Those other Units are owned by certain individuals who
     acquired Units in the Operating Partnership as partial consideration
     for their interests in entities owning apartment communities purchased
     by the Operating Partnership, as well as certain officers of the
     Company.

     The Operating Partnership is a New York limited partnership
     formed in December, 1993. Holders of Units in the Operating
     Partnership may redeem a Unit for one share of the Company's
     common stock or cash equal to the fair market value at the time
     of the redemption, at the option of the Company.  The Company
     currently anticipates that it will issue shares of common stock
     rather than pay cash in connection with such redemptions.
     Management expects that it will continue to utilize Units as
     partial consideration for a significant portion of its
     acquisition properties.

     Both of the Management Companies were formed to comply with the
     technical requirements of federal income tax laws.  Both are Maryland
     corporations.  HP Management was formed in January, 1994 and Conifer
     Realty was formed in December, 1995.   As of December 31, 1999, the
     Operating Partnership held 95% of the economic interest in both
     Management Companies, with Nelson and Norman Leenhouts (the
     "Leenhoutses") holding the remaining five percent interest in HP
     Management and the Leenhoutses and Richard J. Crossed, holding the
     remaining five percent interest in Conifer Realty.  The Management
     Companies manage, for a fee, certain of the residential, commercial
     and development activities of the Company and provide construction,
     development and redevelopment services for the Company.

     In September 1997, Home Properties Trust ("QRS") was formed as a
     Maryland real estate trust and as a qualified REIT subsidiary, with
     100% of its shares being owned by the Company.  The QRS has been
     admitted as a limited partner of the Operating Partnership and the
     Company transferred all but one percent of its interest in the
     Operating Partnership to the QRS.

     The Company currently has approximately 1,925 employees and its
     executive offices are located at 850 Clinton Square, Rochester, New
     York 14604.  Its telephone number is (716) 546-4900.

     OPERATING STRATEGIES

     The Company will continue to focus on enhancing the investment returns
     of its Properties by:  (i) acquiring apartment communities at prices
     below new construction costs and repositioning those properties for
     long-term growth; (ii) reinforcing its decentralized company
     orientation by encouraging employees' personal improvement and by
     providing extensive training; (iii) enhancing the quality of living
     for the Company's residents by improving the quality of service and
     physical amenities available at each community every year;  (iv)
     readily adopting new technology so that the time and cost spent on
     administration can be decreased and the time spent attracting and
     serving residents can be increased; (v) continuing to utilize its
     written "Pledge" of customer satisfaction that is the foundation on
     which the Company has built its name-brand recognition; and (vi)
     engaging in aggressive cost controls and taking advantage of volume
     discounts, thus benefiting from economies of scale while constantly
     improving the level of customer service.

     ACQUISITION AND DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES

     The Company's strategy is to make acquisitions in geographic regions
     that have similar climates, easy access to the Company's headquarters,
     enough apartments available for acquisition to achieve a critical mass
     and minimal investment ownership by other apartment REITs.  Targeted
     markets also possess other characteristics similar to the Company's
     existing markets, including a limited amount of new construction,
     acquisition opportunities below replacement costs, a mature housing
     stock and  stable or moderate  job growth.  The Company expects that
     its growth will be focused in select metropolitan areas within the
     Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest United States, where it has
     already established a regional presence.  Continued geographic
     specialization is expected to have a greater impact on operating
     efficiencies than widespread accumulation of properties.   The Company
     will pursue acquisition of individual properties as well as larger
     portfolios.  It may also consider strategic investments in other
     apartment companies.

     In addition, the Company intends to continue to develop and re-develop
     apartment communities utilizing various government programs, with
     expansion of these activities being primarily in areas where the
     Company already has established operations.  These activities are
     expected to generate development fees, ongoing management and
     incentive management fees and participation in residual value for the
     Company.  They also increase the Company's volume purchasing ability,
     provide a pipeline for future acquisitions and re-development
     opportunities and position the Company to build market rate
     communities when and if market factors warrant.






<PAGE>
           FINANCING AND CAPITAL STRATEGIES

     The Company intends to adhere to the following financing policies:
     (i) maintaining a ratio of debt-to-total market capitalization (total
     debt of the Company as a percentage of the market value of outstanding
     diluted common stock and Units plus total debt) of approximately 50%
     or less; (ii) utilizing primarily fixed rate debt; (iii) varying debt
     maturities to avoid significant exposure to interest rate changes upon
     refinancing; and (iv) maintaining a line of credit so that it can
     respond quickly to acquisition opportunities.

     On December 31, 1999, the Company's debt was approximately $670
     million and the debt-to-total market capitalization ratio was 40%
     based on the year-end closing price of the Company's stock at
     $27.4375.  The weighted average interest rate on the Company's
     mortgage debt as of December 31, 1999 was 7.4% and the weighted
     average maturity was approximately 12 years.  Debt maturities are
     staggered.  As of December 31, 1999, the Company had an unsecured line
     of credit facility from  M&T Bank of $100 million.  This facility is
     available for acquisition and other corporate purposes and bears an
     interest rate at 1.25% over the one-month LIBOR rate or at a money
     market rate as quoted on a daily basis by the lending institution, at
     the Company's option.  As of December 31, 1999, there was
     approximately $51 million  outstanding on the line of credit.

     Management expects to continue to fund a significant portion of its
     continued growth by taking advantage of its UPREIT structure and using
     Units as currency in acquisition transactions.  The Company issued
     approximately $149 million worth of Units as partial consideration in
     acquisition transactions during 1999.

     The Company also intends to continue to structure other creative
     equity transactions to raise capital with limited transaction costs.
     In 1999, $50 million of Series B Convertible Cumulative Preferred
     Stock ("Series B Preferred") was issued in a private sale to GE
     Capital Equity Investments, Inc.  Approximately $49 million was also
     raised in 1999 under the Company's Dividend Reinvestment and Direct
     Stock Purchase Plan (the "Dividend Reinvestment Plan"). The Dividend
     Reinvestment Plan currently provides a 3% discount from the current
     market price for purchases up to $5,000 by existing shareholders.   In
     its discretion, the Company can permit investments in excess of $5,000
     under the Dividend Reinvestment Plan at discounts between 0% and 3%.
     The Dividend Reinvestment Plan has provided a steady source of capital
     to fund the Company's continued growth.

     COMPETITION

     The Company competes with other multifamily developers and other real
     estate companies in seeking properties for acquisition, potential
     residents and land for development.  The Company's Properties are
     primarily in developed areas where there are other properties of the
     same type which directly compete for residents.  The Company, however,
     believes that its focus on service and resident satisfaction will
     enable it to maintain its historic occupancy levels.  The Company also
     believes that the moderate level of new construction of multifamily
     properties in its markets in 1999 will not have a material adverse
     effect on its turnover rates, occupancies or ability to increase rents
     and minimize operating expenses.  To date, the Company has faced
     limited competition in acquiring properties from other REIT's or other
     operators from outside the region.  However, other apartment REITs are
     becoming more interested in the Company's markets and the Company may
     encounter competition from others as it seeks attractive properties in
     a broader geographic area.  Given the perceived depth of available
     opportunities, management does not believe that increased competition
     will pose a significant problem.





<PAGE>
     MARKET ENVIRONMENT

     The markets in which Home Properties operates can be characterized as
     stable, with moderate levels of job growth.  Occupancies are
     relatively high, and new apartment construction activity is low
     relative to the existing multifamily rental housing stock.  Zoning
     restrictions, a scarcity of land and high construction costs make new
     development difficult to justify in many of the Company's markets.
     After considering the obsolescence of older communities and the
     conversion of rental housing to condominiums or co-ops, the Company
     views the net increase in the multifamily rental housing stock in the
     Company's markets as representing only a fraction of the estimated
     number of new units needed to satisfy increased demand.

     New construction in the Company's markets for the past two decades has
     been limited, with most of the existing housing stock built before
     1980.  In 1999,  Home Properties' markets represented 18% of the total
     estimated existing U.S. multifamily housing stock, but only 10% of the
     country's estimated net new supply of multifamily housing units.

     An analysis of future multifamily supply compared to projected
     multifamily demand can indicate whether a particular market is
     tightening, softening or in equilibrium.  The fourth to last column in
     the following Multifamily Supply and Demand table on page 9 reflects
     current estimated net new multifamily supply as a percentage of new
     multifamily demand for the Company's markets and the United States.
     Net new multifamily supply as a percent of new multifamily demand for
     1999 in the Home Properties' markets was approximately 47%, compared
     to a national average of 71%.

     The third to the last column in the Multifamily Supply and Demand
     table on page 9 shows the net new multifamily supply as percent of
     existing multifamily housing stock.  In the Company's markets, net new
     supply only represents 0.6% of the existing multifamily housing stock.
     This compares to the national average net new multifamily supply
     estimates at 1.1% of the multifamily housing stock.

     The information on the following Market Demographics table on page 8
     was compiled by the Company from the sources indicated on the table.
     The methods used includes estimates and, while the Company feels that
     the estimates are reasonable, there can be no assurance that the
     estimates are accurate.  There can also be no assurance that the
     historical information included on the table will be consistent with
     future trends.

(a) ESTIMATED 1999 NEW SUPPLY OF MULTIFAMILY =
    Multifamily permits (1999 figures U.S. Census Bureau, Mfg. & Constr. Div.,
    5+ permits only) adjusted by the average % of permits resulting in a
    construction start (estimated at 95%).
(b) ESTIMATED 1999 MULTIFAMILY OBSOLESCENCE = 0.5% of the 1999 Multifamily
    Housing Stock.
(c) ESTIMATED 1999 NET NEW MULTIFAMILY SUPPLY = Estimated 1999 New Supply
    of Multifamily minus the Estimated 1999 Multifamily Obsolescence.
(d) ESTIMATED 1999 NEW MULTIFAMILY HOUSEHOLD DEMAND =
    Trailing 12 month job growth (Nonfarm, not seasonally adjusted payroll
    employment figures) (12/31/98-12/31/99) multiplied by the expected % of
    new household formations resulting from new jobs (66.7%) and by the %
    of the total housing stock in each market that consists of multifamily
    units (based on 1990 U.S. Census figures).
(e) EXPECTED EXCESS DEMAND = Estimated 1999 New Multifamily Household Demand
    minus the Estimated 1999 Net New Multifamily Supply.
(f) EXPECTED EXCESS REVENUE GROWTH = Expected Excess Demand divided by the
    1999 Multifamily Housing Stock. This percentage is expected to reflect
    the relative impact that changes in the supply and demand for multifamily
    housing units will have on occupancy rates and/or rental rates in each
    market, beyond the impact caused by broader economic factors such as
    inflation and interest rates.

REGULATION

Many laws and governmental regulations are applicable to the Properties and
changes in the laws and regulations, or their interpretation by agencies and
the courts, occur frequently.  Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of
1990 (the "ADA"), all places of public accommodation are required to meet
certain federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons.
In addition, the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 (the "FHAA") requires
apartment communities first occupied after March 13, 1990 to be accessible to
the handicapped.  Non-compliance with the ADA or the FHAA could result in
the imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants.
Management believes that the Owned Properties are substantially in compliance
with present ADA and FHAA requirements.

     Under various laws and regulations relating to the protection of the
environment, an owner of real estate may be held liable for the costs of
removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances located on
or in its property.  These laws often impose liability without regard to
whether the owner was responsible for, or even knew of, the presence of
such substances.  The presence of such substances may adversely affect the
owner's ability to rent or sell the property or use the property as collateral.
Independent environmental consultants have conducted "Phase I" environmental
audits (which involve visual inspection but not soil or groundwater analysis)
on substantially all of the Owned Properties.  Phase I audit reports did not
reveal any environmental liability that would have a material adverse effect
on the Company.  In addition, the Company is not aware of any environmental
liability that management believes would have a material adverse effect on the
Company.  There is no assurance that Phase I reports would reveal all
environmental liabilities or that environmental conditions not known to the
Company may exist now or in the future which would result in liability to the
Company for remediation or fines, either under existing laws and regulations
or future changes to such requirements.

     Under the Federal Fair Housing Act and state fair housing laws,
discrimination on the basis of certain protected classes is prohibited.
Violation of these laws can result in significant damage awards to victims.
The Company has a strong policy against any kind of discriminatory behavior
and trains its employees to avoid discrimination or the appearance of
discrimination.  There is no assurance, however, that an employee will not
violate the Company's policy against discrimination and thus violate fair
housing laws.  This could subject the Company to legal actions and the
possible imposition of damage awards.

ITEM 2.   PROPERTIES

     As of December 31, 1999, the Owned Properties consisted of 126 multifamily
     residential properties containing 33,807 apartment units.   At the time of
     the IPO, Home Properties owned 11 communities containing 3,065 units and
     simultaneously with the closing of the IPO acquired an additional four
     communities containing 926 units.  From the time just prior to the IPO to
     December 31, 1999, the Company therefore experienced a compounded
     annualized growth rate of 55% in the number of apartment units it
     owned. In 1999 alone, Home Properties acquired 10,127 apartment units in
     30 communities for a total purchase price of approximately $487 million,
     including $6.2 million allocated to the purchase of management contracts.
     In addition, during the first quarter of 2000, the Operating Partnership
     has acquired six additional properties, representing an
     increase of 2,113 Units.  During 1999, the Company sold a 35,000 square
     foot ancillary shopping center located adjacent to a multifamily property.

     The Owned Properties are generally located in established markets in
     suburban neighborhoods and are well maintained and well leased.  Average
     economic occupancy at the Owned Properties held throughout 1998 and 1999
     was 94.5% for 1999.  The Owned Properties are typically two and three story
     garden style apartment buildings in landscaped settings and a majority are
     of brick or other masonry construction.  The Company believes that its
     strategic focus on appealing to middle income and senior residents and
     the quality of the services it provides to such residents result in low
     turnover.  Average turnover at the Owned Properties was approximately 40%
     for 1999, which is significantly below the national average of 65% for
     garden apartments.

     Resident leases are generally for one year terms and security deposits
     equal to one month's rent are generally required.

     Certain of the Owned Properties secure mortgage loans.  See Note 4 to
     the Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein.

     The table on the following pages illustrates certain of the important
     characteristics of the Owned Properties as of December 31, 1999.

     PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT

     Management believes that new construction of market rate multifamily
     apartments is not economically feasible in most of its markets.  Therefore,
     Home Properties' development and redevelopment activities have been
     limited to government-assisted multifamily housing. In 1996, the Operating
     Partnership acquired substantially all of the assets of C.O.F., Inc.
     (formerly Conifer Realty, Inc.) and Conifer Development, Inc.
     (collectively, "Conifer"), a developer and manager of government-assisted
     multifamily housing.  Through these predecessors, the Company has been
     developing affordable housing for over 20 years.  Management anticipates
     that this experience, coupled with the financial and property management
     strengths of the Company, positions the Company as a regional leader in
     the affordable housing arena.

     Home Properties' strategy has been to expand its development activities
     carefully into areas where it has already established operations.  It
     currently operates and develops affordable housing communities in six
     states.

     Through affiliated partnerships, in 1999 the Company commenced
     development or redevelopment of 1,304 units in nine communities, completed
     three communities with 926 units and continued progress on 734 units in
     three communities.  Management is optimistic about opportunities for
     continued growth due to the Company's broadened geographic reach and
     continued partnering with not-for-profit sponsors.

     LOW INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDIT PROGRAM. Since its inception in 1986, the
     LIHTC program has been responsible for the creation or rehabilitation of
     more than 1 million rental units for low or moderate income Americans.
     Under this program, states are authorized to allocate federal tax credits
     as an incentive for developers to build rental housing for low income
     households.  Each state has received an allocation of tax credits from
     the Internal Revenue Service in an amount equal to $1.25 per state
     resident.  This amount has not been adjusted for over a decade.  However,
     legislation has been introduced to increase the housing credit allocations
     by 40% over five years.  This graduated increase would put the per capita
     allocation at $1.35 for the 2000 calendar year and at $1.75 per capita by
     2004.  It is expected that the cap increase, if adopted,  will generate
     the construction of an additional 30,000 units of affordable housing each
     year.

     Although REITs do not pay income taxes at the corporate level, the Company
     benefits from the credits by structuring transactions where the Operating
     Partnership serves as the managing general partner and limited partners
     contribute substantial equity in exchange for the tax credits.  The
     economic benefits of management and ownership to the Company include:

     * Initial developer fee revenue
     * Receipt of certain of the project cash flow
              after debt service as "incentive management fees"
     * Substantial property management fees
     * Participation in future equity build-up
     * Involvement in the real estate as the
              managing general partner

     TAX EXEMPT BOND FINANCING.  The increased competition for tax credits
     has led developers to the tax exempt bond market for financing.  Projects
     can be financed with tax exempt bonds if they meet a threshold of
     having at least 20% of the units rented to households at 50% or less of
     the area median income, or 40% of the units at 60% or less of the area
     median income.  The bond program provides a reduced level of tax
     credits, automatically, without the need to go through the competitive
     allocation process for tax credits.  While this program has historically
     not been as competitive, the recent increasing popularity has resulted
     in most states running out of their available tax exempt bond allocations.
     Legislation has also been introduced to significantly increase the volume
     cap levels for tax-exempt bonds.

     HUD SECTION 8 PROGRAM.  Within a decade, it is expected that virtually
     all of HUD's roughly three million Section 8 project and tenant-based
     contracts will expire.  Many of the affected properties will need to be
     recycled into other programs or repositioned to compete as market rate
     communities.  The Company's financial strength and expertise in
     this area could lead to attractive investment opportunities as these
     properties are sold or restructured.  Currently, the Company holds five
     Section 8 communities in its owned portfolio, Conifer Village (199 units),
     Doub Meadow (95 units), Pines of Perinton (508 units), Shakespeare Park
     (82 units) and Timbercroft Townhomes (284 units).  The rental
     subsidy contracts extend for several more years on all properties except
     Doub Meadow and Shakespeare Park, both of which expire in 2000.  The
     Company expects to renew these two expiring contracts for at
     least one additional year.

     PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

     As of December 31, 1999, the Managed Properties consist of: (i) 7,710
     apartment units where Home Properties is the general partner of the
     entity that owns the property; (ii) 3,465 apartment units managed
     for others; (iii) commercial properties which contain approximately 1.7
     million square feet of gross leasable area; (iv) a master planned
     community known as Gananda; (v) a 140-lot Planned Unit Development
     known as College Greene; (vi) a 202-lot Planned Unit Development known
     as Riverton; and (vii) 153 acres of vacant land in Old Brookside, the
     development of which, if it occurs, will be managed by HP Management.
     Management fees are based on a percentage of rental revenues or costs
     and, in certain cases, revenues from sales.  The Company may pursue the
     management of additional properties not owned by the Company, but will
     only do so when such additional properties can be effectively and
     efficiently managed in conjunction with other properties owned or managed
     by Home Properties.

     The table on the following pages details managed communities broken down
     by market area.

     The commercial properties consist of:  (i) approximately 1,025,000 square
     feet of office space; (ii) approximately 400,000  square feet of retail
     space; (iii) approximately 75,000 square feet of industrial space; and
     (iv) approximately 164,000 square feet of warehouse space.

     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998.

     The Company owned 62 communities with 14,048 apartment units throughout
     1998 and 1999 where comparable operating results are available for the
     years presented (the "1999 Core Properties").  For the year ending
     December 31, 1999, the 1999 Core Properties showed an increase in rental
     revenues of 5.3% and a net operating income increase of 9.0% over the 1998
     year-end period.  Property level operating expenses increased 1.7%.
     Average economic occupancy for the 1999 Core Properties increased from
     94.0% to 94.5%, with average monthly rental rates increasing 4.8% to $661.

     A summary of the 1999 Core Property net operating income is as follows:

</TABLE>

     During 1999, the Company acquired a total of 10,127 apartment
     units in 30 newly acquired communities (the "1999 Acquisition
     Communities").  In addition, the Company experienced full year results
     for the 9,632 apartment units in 34  apartment communities (the "1998
     Acquisition Communities") acquired during 1998.  The inclusion of
     these acquired communities generally accounted for the significant
     changes in operating results for the year ended December 31, 1999.
     The 1998 Acquisition Communities exclude 256 units at Leland
     Gardens in New Jersey owned at December 31, 1998 in an affiliated entity
     in contemplation of rehabilitating under the Low Income Housing Tax
     Credit Program.  In January, 1999, a 99% limited partnership interest
     was transferred to the ultimate tax credit partner.

     The Company also disposed of one property during 1999, a 35,000 square
     foot ancillary shopping center located adjacent to a multifamily
     community, which had partial results for 1999 (the "1999 Disposed
     Community").

     For the year ended December 31, 1999, operating income (income before
     loss on disposition of property, minority interest and extraordinary
     item) increased by $11,060,000 when compared to the year ended
     December 31, 1998.  The increase was primarily attributable to the
     following factors:  an increase in rental income of $80,034,000 and
     an increase in other income of $5,186,000.  These changes were partially
     offset by an increase in operating and maintenance expense of $32,064,000,
     an increase in general and administrative expense of $4,011,000, an
     increase in interest expense of $15,578,000, an increase in
     depreciation and amortization of $14,159,000 and loss on available-for-
     sale securities and non-recurring acquisition expense totaling
     $8,348,000 not previously incurred.

     Of the $80,034,000 increase in rental income, $35,554,000 is
     attributable to the 1998 Acquisition Communities and $39,295,000
     is attributable to the 1999 Acquisition Communities, offset in part by
     a $155,000 reduction attributable to the 1999 Disposed Community.
     The balance of $5,340,000 is a 5.3% increase from the 1999 Core Properties
     due primarily to an increase of 4.8% in weighted average rental rates,
     plus an increase in occupancy from 94.0% to 94.5%.

     Property other income, which consists primarily of income from operation
     of laundry facilities, administrative fees, garage and carport rentals
     and miscellaneous charges to residents, increased in 1999 by $3,264,000.
     Of this increase, $1,358,000 is attributable to the 1998 Acquisition
     Communities, $1,191,000 is attributable to the 1999 Acquisition
     Communities, $439,000 represents a 15.6% increase from the 1999
     Core Properties, offset in part by a $28,000 reduction attributable to
     the 1999 Disposed Community.  In addition, $304,000 represents
     the increase in the net results for limited partnerships accounted for on
     the equity method.

     Interest and dividend income increased in 1999 by $1,990,000, primarily
     attributable to an increase in construction loans and advances made to
     affiliated tax credit development partnerships, as well as increased
     levels of cash reserves invested.  Dividend income of $714,000 and
     $147,000 in 1999 and 1998, respectively, from investments in marketable
     securities, are not expected to continue
     into 2000.

     Other income reflects the net contribution from management and development
     activities after allocating certain overhead and interest expense.  The
     net contribution decreased by $68,000, or 2% from 1998 to 1999.  Increased
     activities in government assisted housing contributed to an 11.5% annual
     increase in gross management and development fee revenues.  These revenue
     gains were offset by increased outlays to expand the staff and carrying
     costs associated with land  in inventory for future development.

     Of the $32,064,000 increase in operating and maintenance expenses,
     $16,302,000 is attributable to the 1998 Acquisition Communities,
     $14,980,000 is attributable to the 1999 Acquisition Communities and a
     reduction of $31,000 is attributable to the 1999 Disposed Community.
     The balance for the 1999 Core Properties, a $813,000 increase in
     operating expenses or 1.7%, is primarily a result of increases in
     utilities, real estate taxes, and snow removal costs.

     The operating expense ratio (the ratio of operating and maintenance
     expense compared to rental and property other income) for the 1999 Core
     Properties was 44.8% and 46.5% for 1999 and 1998, respectively.  This 1.7%
     reduction is a result of the 5.6% increase in total rental and property
     other income achieved through ongoing efforts to upgrade and reposition
     properties for maximum potential.  In general, the Company's operating
     expense ratio is higher than that experienced in other parts of the
     country due to relatively high real estate taxes in its markets and
     the Company's practice, typical in its markets, of including heating
     expenses in base rent.  The exposure to swings in heating costs have
     been reduced as the number of units in the entire portfolio including
     heat in base rent has been reduced from 85% at December 31, 1998 to
     70% at December 31, 1999.

     General and administrative expenses increased in 1999 by $4,011,000,
     or 60% from $6,685,000 in 1998 to $10,696,000 in 1999.  As the Company
     expands geographically, travel and lodging expenses have increased,
     along with expenses associated with new and expanding regional offices.
     In addition, personnel costs have increased to handle the growing owned
     portfolio, which increased in size by 41% as of December 31, 1999 compared
     to a year ago.   The percentage of G&A compared to total revenue was 4.6%
     for 1999 compared to 4.5% for 1998.

     Interest expense increased in 1999 by $15,578,000 as a result of the
     acquisition of the 1999 Acquisition Communities and full year interest
     expense for the 1998 Acquisition Communities.  The 1998 Acquisition
     Communities, costing in excess of $376,000,000, were acquired with
     $81,000,000 of assumed debt in addition to the use of UPREIT Units.
     The 1999 Acquisition Communities, costing in excess of $480,000,000,
     were acquired with $203,000,000 of assumed debt, in addition to
     the use of UPREIT Units.  Amortization relating to interest rate reduction
     agreements of $198,000 and $335,000 was included in interest expense
     during 1999 and 1998, respectively.  In addition, amortization from
     deferred charges relating to the financing of properties totaling $516,000
     and $457,000 was included in interest expense for 1999 and 1998,
     respectively.  Finally, $294,000 of unamortized fees related to a standby
     loan facility, which allowed the Company to enter into a non-contingent
     contract for a 17 property portfolio acquisition, were written off during
     the third quarter of 1998, as the facility was only partially used and
     quickly repaid.

     During 1999, the Company disposed of a 35,000 square foot shopping center
     in Columbus, Ohio that was ancillary to an adjacent multifamily property
     formerly owned by the Company.  The property was sold for approximately
     $1,000,000, resulting in a gain on disposition of $457,000.  In addition,
     the Company liquidated its original $11.6 million investment in common
     stock of Associated Estates Realty Corporation (NYSE:AEC), recognizing a
     loss of $2,123,000.  Finally, the Company reported a non-recurring
     acquisition expense of $6,225,000 during the third quarter of 1999.
     In conjunction with the acquisition of two large portfolios, this amount
     of the reported acquisition price was allocated (based on the contracts)
     to the purchase of the related management contracts.  As the Company is
     self-managing the properties, these management contracts have no future
     value and the cost was expensed to operations in the current year.

     COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997.

     The Company owned 27 communities with 6,552 apartment units throughout
     1997 and 1998 where comparable operating results are available for the
     years presented (the "1998 Core Properties").  For the year ending
     December 31, 1998, the 1998 Core Properties showed an increase in rental
     revenues of 2.3% and a net operating income increase of 6.9% over the
     1997 year-end period.  Property level operating expenses decreased
     1.9%. Average economic occupancy for the 1998 Core Properties decreased
     from 94.7% to 94.1%, with average monthly rental rates increasing 2.9%
     to $627.

     A summary of the 1998 Core Property net operating income is as follows:

</TABLE>

     During 1998, the Company acquired a total of 9,632 apartment units in 34
     newly acquired communities (the "1998 Acquisition Communities").  In
     addition, the Company experienced full year results for the 7,496
     apartment units in 35 newly acquired apartment communities (the "1997
     Acquisition Communities") acquired during 1997.  The inclusion of these
     acquired communities generally accounted for the significant changes in
     operating results for the year ended December 31, 1998.  The 1998
     Acquisition Communities exclude 256 units at Leland Gardens in New Jersey
     owned at December 31, 1998 in an affiliated entity in contemplation of
     rehabilitating under the Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program.  In
     January, 1999, a 99% limited partnership interest was transferred to the
     ultimate tax credit partner.

     The Company also disposed of two communities during 1997 with 624
     apartment units and a 202-site manufactured home community, all of
     which had partial results in 1997 (the "1997 Disposed Communities").

     For the year ended December 31, 1998, operating income (income before
     loss on disposition of property, minority interest and extraordinary item)
     increased by $19,293,000 when compared to the year ended December 31,
     1997.  The increase was primarily attributable to the following factors:
     an increase in rental income of $73,555,000 and an increase in other
     income of $5,991,000.  These changes were partially offset by an
     increase in operating and maintenance expense of $31,819,000, an increase
     in general and administrative expense of $4,430,000, an increase in
     interest expense of $12,013,000 and an increase in depreciation and
     amortization of $11,991,000.

     Of the $73,555,000 increase in rental income, $38,127,000 is attributable
     to the 1997 Acquisition Communities and $37,316,000 is attributable to
     the 1998 Acquisition Communities, offset in part by a $2,933,000 reduction
     attributable to the 1997 Disposed Communities.  The balance is a 2.3%
     increase from the 1998 Core Properties due primarily to an increase of
     2.9% in weighted average rental rates, offset by a decrease in occupancy
     from 94.7% to 94.1%.

     Property other income, which consists primarily of
     income from operation of laundry facilities, administrative fees,
     garage and carport rentals and miscellaneous charges to residents,
     increased in 1998 by $1,392,000.  Of this increase, $643,000 is
     attributable to the 1997 Acquisition Communities, $1,026,000 is
     attributable to the 1998 Acquisition Communities and $185,000 represents a
     13.0% increase from the 1998 Core Properties.  In addition, $452,000
     represents the decrease in the net results for limited partnerships
     accounted for on the equity method.

     Interest income increased in 1998 by $2,906,000, primarily attributable
     to an increase in construction loans and advances made to affiliated tax
     credit development partnerships.

     Other income increased in 1998 by $1,693,000, including $1,093,000 from
     increased management fees from residential properties and $329,000 from
     increased development fee income recognized directly by the Company from
     communities developed under the federal government's Low Income Housing
     Tax Credit Program where the Company is the general partner.  The increased
     management fee activity resulted from full year results on 1,020 units
     managed in Detroit (acquired October, 1997) and 1,337 units in 46 Rural
     Development properties added in May of 1998.

     Of the $31,819,000 increase in operating and maintenance expenses,
     $18,469,000 is attributable to the 1997 Acquisition Communities,
     $15,236,000 is attributable to the 1998 Acquisition Communities and a
     reduction of $1,458,000 is attributable to the 1997 Disposed Communities.
     The balance for the 1998 Core Properties, a $428,000 reduction in
     operating expenses, is primarily due to lower gas rates and relatively
     mild winter weather.  Core Property operating expenses, excluding utility
     expenses, increased approximately 2.0%.





<PAGE>
     The operating expense ratio (the ratio of operating and maintenance
     expense compared to rental and property other income) for the 1998 Core
     Properties was 46.7% and 48.8% for 1998 and 1997, respectively.  This 2.1%
     reduction is a direct result of lower than normal utility expenses.  In
     general, the Company's operating expense ratio is higher than that
     experienced in other parts of the country due to relatively high real
     estate taxes in its markets and the Company's practice, typical in its
     markets, of including heating expenses in base rent.

     General and administrative expenses increased in 1998 by $4,430,000,
     or 196% from $2,255,000 in 1997 to $6,685,000 in 1998.  A higher bonus
     in 1998 compared to 1997 ($1,210,000 versus $287,000) resulted from our
     incentive compensation plan which rewards exceptional FFO growth per
     share, contributing 40% of the 196% increase in total G&A.  As the Company
     expands geographically, travel and lodging expenses have increased, along
     with expenses associated with new and expanding regional offices.  In
     addition, personnel costs have increased to handle the growing owned
     portfolio, which increased in size by 70% as of December 31, 1998 compared
     to a year ago.  The growth of management fee income recognized directly
     by the Company, along with its affect on G&A, makes it difficult
     to compare G&A to historical numbers.  If the management fee income is
     netted against G&A expense, the percentage of remaining G&A compared to
     adjusted revenue is 3.5% and 2.7% for 1998 and 1997, respectively.

     Interest expense increased in 1998 by $12,013,000 as a result of the
     acquisition of the 1998 Acquisition Communities and full year interest
     expense for the 1997 Acquisition Communities.  The 1997 Acquisition
     Communities, costing in excess of $266,000,000, were acquired with
     $87,000,000 of assumed debt in addition to the use of UPREIT Units. The
     1998 Acquisition Communities, costing in excess of $376,000,000, were
     acquired with $81,000,000 of assumed debt, in addition to the use of
     UPREIT Units.  Amortization relating to interest rate reduction
     agreements of $335,000 was included in interest expense during 1998 and
     1997.  In addition, amortization from deferred charges relating to the
     financing of properties totaling $457,000 and $276,000 was included
     in interest expense for 1998 and 1997, respectively.  Finally, $294,000 of
     unamortized fees related to a standby loan facility, which allowed the
     Company to enter into a non-contingent contract for a 17 property
     portfolio acquisition, were written off during the third quarter, as the
     facility was only partially used and quickly repaid.

     The December 31, 1998 balance sheet reflects an unrealized loss on
     available-for-sale securities of $1,607,000.  This reduction to
     Other Assets and Stockholders Equity represents a markdown from
     $11,649,000 to $10,042,000 relative to a strategic investment in the
     common stock of Associated Estates Realty Corporation (NYSE:AEC) of
     850,000 shares, representing approximately 4% of the outstanding
     shares of AEC.

     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's principal liquidity demands are expected to be distributions
     to the common and preferred stockholders and Operating Partnership
     unitholders, capital improvements and repairs and maintenance for
     the properties, acquisition of additional properties, property development
     and debt repayments.  The Company may also engage in transactions whereby
     it acquires equity ownership in other public or private companies that
     own portfolios of apartment communities.

     The Company intends to meet its short-term liquidity requirements through
     net cash flows provided by operating activities and the line of credit.
     The Company considers its ability to generate cash to be adequate to meet
     all operating requirements and make distributions to its stockholders in
     accordance with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended,
     applicable to REITs.

     To the extent that the Company does not satisfy its long-term liquidity
     requirements through net cash flows provided by operating activities and
     the line of credit described below, it intends to satisfy such
     requirements through the issuance of UPREIT Units, proceeds from the
     Dividend Reinvestment Plan, property debt financing, or issuing additional
     common shares or shares of the Company's preferred stock.  As of December
     31, 1999, the Company owned thirty-two properties, with 6,233 apartment
     units, which were unencumbered by debt.

     In May, 1998, the Company's Form S-3 Registration Statement was declared
     effective relating to the issuance of up to $413.8 million of shares of
     common stock or other securities.  The available balance on the shelf at
     December 31, 1998 was $333,650,000.  There has been no activity on the
     shelf during 1999.

     On September 30, 1999, the Company completed the sale of $50 million of
     Series B Preferred stock in a private transaction with GE Capital.  The
     Series B Preferred stock carries an annual dividend rate equal to the
     greater of 8.36% or the actual dividend paid on the Company's common
     shares into which the preferred shares can be converted.  The stock has
     a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share, a conversion price of
     $29.77 per share, and a five-year, non-call provision.

     On December 22, 1999, the Class A limited partnership interests held by
     the State of Michigan Retirement Systems (originally issued in December,
     1996 for $35 million) were converted to Series A Convertible Cumulative
     Preferred shares ("Series A Preferred") which retain the same material
     rights and preferences that were associated with the limited partnership
     interests.  The conversion had no effect on reported results of
     operations and permits the Company to continue to use favorable tax
     depreciation methods.

     The issuance of UPREIT Units for property acquisitions continues to be a
     significant source of capital.  During 1999, 8,147 apartment units in
     four separate transactions were acquired for a total cost of $389,000,000,
     using UPREIT Units valued at approximately $149,000,000 with the balance
     paid in cash or assumed debt.  During 1998, 4,512 apartment units in eight
     separate transactions were acquired for a total cost of $176,000,000,
     using UPREIT Units valued at approximately $71,000,000 with the balance
     paid in cash or assumed debt.

     In 1997, the Company's Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase
     program under which the Company may repurchase up to one million shares of
     its outstanding common stock.  The Board's action did not establish
     a target price or a specific timetable for repurchase.  In 1998, the
     Company repurchased 59,600 shares at a cost of $1,437,000, reflecting a
     stock price which Company management felt was an attractive investment
     opportunity.  During 1999, the Company repurchased an additional 125,300
     shares at a cost of $2,974,000.  Approval to repurchase 795,100 shares of
     common stock remains at December 31, 1999.

     In November, 1995, the Company established a Dividend Reinvestment Plan.
     The Plan provides the stockholders of the Company an opportunity to
     automatically invest their cash dividends at a discount of 3% from the
     market price.  In addition, eligible participants may make monthly
     payments or other voluntary cash investments in shares of common stock,
     typically purchased at discounts, which have varied between 2% and
     3%.  During 1998, over $72,000,000 of common stock was issued under
     this plan, with an additional $49,000,000 of common stock issued in 1999.

     As of December 31, 1999, the Company had an unsecured line of credit
     from M&T Bank of $100,000,000 with $50,800,000 outstanding.  Borrowings
     under the facilities bear interest, at the Company's option, at either
     1.25% over the one-month LIBOR rate or at a money market rate as quoted
     on a daily basis by the lending institution.  The line of credit expires
     on September 4, 2000.

     As of December 31, 1999, the weighted average rate of interest on the
     Company's mortgage debt is 7.4% and the weighted average maturity of such
     indebtedness is approximately twelve years.  Mortgage debt of $619
     million was outstanding with 99% at fixed rates of interest with staggered
     maturities.  This limits the exposure to changes in interest rates,
     minimizing the effect of interest rate fluctuations on results of
     operations and financial condition.

     The Company's net cash provided by operating activities increased from
     $60,548,000 for the year ended  December 31, 1998 to $90,571,000 for
     the year ended December 31, 1999.  The increase was principally due to
     the acquisition of the 1998 and 1999 Acquisition Communities.

     Net cash used in investing activities decreased from $297,788,000 in
     1998 to $190,937,000 in 1999.  The level of properties purchased increased
     in 1999 to $487 million from $383 million, while the amount of mortgages
     assumed and UPREIT units issued increased by $194 million, such that
     the net cash invested in properties decreased, accounting for most of the
     year over year decrease.

     The Company's net cash provided by financing activities decreased from
     $266,877,000 in 1998 to $71,662,000 in 1999.  The major source of
     financing in 1999 was $99,130,000 of proceeds from sales of preferred and
     common stock and net debt proceeds of $46,857,000, both used to fund
     property acquisitions and additions.  In 1998, proceeds from the sale of
     common stock and net debt proceeds totaling $316,045,000 were used to
     fund property acquisitions and additions.

     CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS

     Total capital improvement expenditures increased from $42,896,000 in 1998
     to $61,034,000 in 1999.  Of the $61,034,000 in total expenditures,
     $5,742,000 is attributable to the 1999 Acquisition Communities and
     $24,870,000 is attributable to the 1998 Acquisition Communities. The
     balance of $30,422,000 is allocated between the 1999 Core Properties of
     $29,920,000 and $502,000 for corporate office expenditures.

     Recurring, non-revenue enhancing capital replacements typically include
     carpeting and tile, appliances, HVAC equipment, new roofs, site
     improvements and various exterior building improvements.  Funding for
     these capital replacements are provided by cash flows from operating
     activities.  The Company estimates that during 1999, approximately $375
     per unit was spent on capital replacements to maintain the condition of
     its properties.

     The schedule below summarizes the breakdown of capital improvements:

</TABLE>
          *No distinction is attempted between recurring or non-recurring
     expenditures for the corporate office.

     The $50,110,000 incurred to fund non-recurring, revenue enhancing
     upgrades included, among other items, the following:  construction of
     ten new community centers; the installation of nearly 10,000 new windows
     and other energy conservation measures; and the modernization of over
     3,300 kitchens.  Management believes that these upgrades contributed
     significantly towards achieving 9.0% average growth in net operating
     income at the 1999 Core Properties.  For the combined Acquisition
     Communities, substantial rehabilitations were incurred as part of
     management's acquisition and repositioning strategies.  The pace of
     capital replacements was accelerated to improve the overall competitive
     condition of the properties.  Funding for these capital improvements was
     provided by the line of credit and equity proceeds.

     During 2000, management expects that the communities will benefit further
     from improvements completed in 1999 and plans to continue to fund
     similar non-recurring, revenue enhancing upgrades in addition to
     normal capital replacements.

     IMPACT OF THE YEAR-2000 ON SYSTEM PROCESSING

     The year 2000 ("Y2K") problem concerned the inability of information
     systems to property recognize and process date-sensitive information
     beyond January 1, 2000.  As a result, the Y2K problem could have affected
     any system that uses date data, including mainframes, PCs, and embedded
     microprocessors that control security systems, call-processing systems,
     building climate systems, elevators, office equipment and even fire
     alarms.

     Since January 1, 2000, the Company has not experienced any disruption
     to its business operations as a result of Y2K compliance problems.  One
     software application displayed the wrong date in a non-critical field.
     The date display is purely cosmetic and an updated version will be
     installed during the first quarter of 2000.

     The Company's State of Readiness

     The Company began addressing the Y2K issue in September 1997.  As such
     it divided its review into two segments: business critical and mission
     critical systems.  Business critical systems are those with the potential
     to affect the financial and operational infrastructure of the Company.
     Mission critical are those systems with a potential to affect the delivery
     of electricity and natural gas to our residents, commercial tenants
     and employees and the safety of residents, commercial tenants and
     employees.

     Recognizing that the mission critical systems rely heavily on public
     service vendors, the Company's focus was on business critical systems
     under the assumption that market forces and regulatory agencies would
     encourage and monitor the compliance of the telecommunications, utilities
     and emergency service industries.  The Company set up systems to monitor
     the progress of mission critical service providers and developed
     contingency plans to minimize the possibility that the Y2K problem would
     disrupt the lives of its residents, commercial tenants and employees.

     The Company relies exclusively on micro computers (PC's).  PC's exist in
     the corporate office, regional offices and at the communities.  The
     Company completed its review and modification of corporate, regional and
     community office systems towards Y2K compliance in November, 1999. The
     Company had one and one-half full-time employees dedicated to upgrading
     regional offices and community based systems.  Additional information
     systems employees assisted as needed.

     Throughout 2000, the Company plans to periodically match its systems'
     inventory against hardware and software component manufacturer upgrade
     releases to assure that its systems have the most current Y2K upgrades
     (including any properties acquired).

     To insure delivery of goods and services (i.e., building and elevator
     access, security systems, HVAC, life safety, etc.) to the Company's
     communities and without interruption, the Company mailed surveys to
     all critical suppliers in July, 1999.  All critical suppliers indicated
     their expected compliance.

     COSTS

     The cost of the Company's Y2K activities, which was budgeted at
     $675,000 totaled approximately $700,000.

     ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

     Phase I environmental audits have been completed on substantially all of
     the Owned Properties.  There are no recorded amounts resulting from
     environmental liabilities as there are no known contingencies with
     respect thereto.  Furthermore, no condition is known to exist that would
     give rise to a material liability for site restoration or other costs
     that may be incurred with respect to the sale or disposal of a property.


<PAGE>
     RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     The Company is not aware of any pronouncements which would have a
     material adverse effect on the Company's liquidity, financial position
     or results of operations.

     INFLATION

     Substantially all of the leases at the communities are for a term of one
     year or less, which enables the Company to seek increased rents upon
     renewal of existing leases or commencement of new leases.  These
     short-term leases minimize the potential adverse effect of inflation on
     rental income, although residents may leave without penalty at the end of
     their lease terms and may do so if rents are increased significantly.

     COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1934.

     Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
     (the "Exchange Act") requires the Company's executive officers and
     directors, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class
     of the Company's equity securities, to file reports of ownership and
     changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission and
     the New York Stock Exchange.  Officers, directors and greater than
     10% shareholders are required to furnish the Company with copies of
     all Section 16(a) forms they file.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Home Properties of New York, Inc.


In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements listed in
item 14(a)(1) and (2) of this Form 10-K present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Home Properties of New York, Inc. (the
"Company") at December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these financial statements based on our audits.  We conducted our audits
of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States, which 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,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion
expressed above.

     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
    (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)

 1   ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     ORGANIZATION

     Home Properties of New York, Inc. (the "Company " ) was formed in
     November 1993, as a Maryland corporation and is engaged
     primarily in the ownership, management, acquisition, rehabilitation and
     development of apartment communities in the Northeastern, Mid-Atlantic
     and Midwestern United States.  The Company conducts its business through
     Home Properties of New York, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), a
     New York limited partnership.  As of December 31, 1999, the Company
     operated 291 apartment communities with 44,982 apartments.  Of this
     total, the Company owned 126 communities, consisting of 33,807
     apartments, managed as general partner 125 partnerships that owned 7,710
     apartments and fee managed 3,465 apartments for affiliates
     and third parties.  The Company also fee managed 1.7 million square feet
     of office and retail properties.

     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
     of the Company and its 62.4% (64.0% at December 31, 1998) partnership
     interest in the Operating Partnership.  The remaining 37.6% (36.0% at
     December 31, 1998) is reflected as Minority Interest in these
     consolidated financial statements.  Investments in which the
     Company does not have control are presented on the equity method.  All
     significant intercompany balances and transactions have
     been eliminated in these consolidated financial statements.

 2   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     REAL ESTATE

     Real estate is recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
     Costs related to the acquisition, development, construction
     and improvement of properties are capitalized.  Interest costs are
     capitalized until construction is substantially complete.  When retired or
     otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are
     cleared from the respective accounts and the net difference, less any
     amount realized from disposition, is reflected in income.  There
     was $263, $189 and $0 of interest capitalized in 1999, 1998 and 1997,
     respectively.  Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

     The Company quarterly reviews its properties to determine if its
     carrying costs will be recovered from future operating cash flows.
     In cases where the Company does not expect to recover its carrying
     costs, the Company recognizes an impairment loss.  No such
     losses have been recognized to date.

     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

2    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

     DEPRECIATION

     Properties are depreciated using a straight-line method over the
     estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:  buildings,
     improvements and equipment - 5-40 years; and tenant improvements - life
     of related lease.  Depreciation expense charged to operations
     was $37,176, $23,067 and $11,104 for the years ended December 31, 1999,
     1998 and 1997, respectively.

     CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

     For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash
     equivalents include all cash and highly liquid investments purchased
     with original maturities of three months or less.  The Company estimates
     that the fair value of cash equivalents approximates the carrying
     value due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments.

     CASH IN ESCROWS

     Cash in escrows consists of cash restricted under the terms of various
     loan agreements to be used for the payment of property taxes
     and insurance as well as required replacement reserves and tenant security
     deposits for residential properties.

     DEFERRED CHARGES

     Costs relating to the financing of properties and interest rate reduction
     agreements are deferred and amortized over the life of the related
     agreement.  The straight-line method, which approximates the
     effective interest method, is used to amortize all financing costs.  The
     range of the terms of the agreements are from 1-23 years.  Accumulated
     amortization was $1,165, $2,592 and $1,791 as of December 31, 1999,
     1998 and 1997, respectively.

     AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE SECURITIES

     Available-for-sale securities were recorded at fair market value based
     upon quoted prices, with the unrealized gain (loss) recorded as a
     component of stockholders' equity.

     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 amount of assets and liabilities
     and disclosures 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.

     ADVERTISING

     Advertising expenses are charged to operations during the year in which
     they were incurred.  Advertising expenses incurred and charged to
     operations were approximately $3,966, $2,891 and $1,291 for the years
     ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

 2   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

     REVENUE RECOGNITION

     The Operating Partnership leases its residential properties under leases
     with terms generally one year or less.  Rental income is recognized when
     earned.  Property other income, which consists primarily of income from
     operation of laundry facilities, administrative fees, garage and carport
     rentals and miscellaneous charges to residents, is recognized when earned.

     The Operating Partnership earns development and other fee income from
     properties in the development phase.  This fee income is recognized on the
     percentage of completion method.

     INCOME TAXES

     The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust
     ( " REIT " ) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
     commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 1994.  As a result,
     the Company generally will not be subject to Federal or State income
     taxation at the corporate level to the extent it distributes annually at
     least 95% of its REIT taxable income to its shareholders and satisfies
     certain other requirements.  Accordingly, no provision has been made for
     federal income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial
     statements for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997.
     Stockholders are taxed on dividends and must report such dividends as
     either ordinary income, capital gains, or as return of capital.

     EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Basic Earnings Per Share ("EPS") is computed as net income available to
     common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common
     shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential
     dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock-
     based compensation including stock options and the conversion
     of any cumulative convertible preferred stock.  The exchange of an
     Operating Partnership Unit for common stock will have no effect on
     diluted EPS as unitholders and stockholders effectively share equally in
     the net income of the Operating Partnership.

     116,500 shares of the Company's common stock were not included in the
     computations of diluted EPS because the options' exercise prices were
     greater than the average market price of the Company's stock during the
     years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  For the year
     ended December 31, 1999, the 1,666,667 shares of the 9% Series A
     Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred") and the
     2,000,000 shares of 8.36% Series B Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock

     effect and is not included in the computation of diluted EPS.

     *The interest rate on these mortgages will convert to a variable rate
     on various dates between 2000 and 2003 and continue until maturity.

     Principal payments on the mortgage notes payable for years subsequent to
     December 31, 1999 are as follows:

     2000               $   7,478
     2001                  12,535
     2002                  52,008
     2003                  30,359
     2004                  30,307
     Thereafter           486,214
                         $618,901

     The Company determines the fair value of the mortgage notes payable
     based on the discounted future cash flows at a discount rate that
     approximates the Company's current effective borrowing rate for
     comparable loans.  Based on this analysis, the Company has determined
     that the fair value of the mortgage notes payable approximates
     $601,983 at December 31, 1999.

     The Company has incurred prepayment penalties on debt restructurings which
     are accounted for as extraordinary items in the statement of operations.
     Prepayment penalties were approximately $174, $1,555 and $1,774 for the
     years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The 1999
     paydowns totaled $13,669 from four debt instruments which were paid off
     from available cash on hand.  The 1998 paydowns totaled $54,879 from 14
     debt instruments which were financed by three new borrowings in excess
     of $179,000.  The 1997 paydowns totaled $34,626 from one debt instrument
     which was financed by one new borrowing of $50,000.

5    LINE OF CREDIT

     As of December 31, 1999, the Company had an unsecured line of credit from
     M&T Bank of $100,000 with $50,800 outstanding.  The facility expires on
     September 4, 2000.  Borrowings bear interest at 1.25% over the one-month
     LIBOR rate or at a money market rate as quoted on a daily basis by the
     lending institution.  The money market interest rate (the rate used by
     the Company) was 6.75% at December 31, 1999.

6    MINORITY INTEREST

     Minority interest in the Company relates to the interest in the
     Operating Partnership not owned by Home Properties of New York, Inc.
     Units in the Operating Partnership ("UPREIT Units") are exchangeable on
     a one-for-one basis into common shares.  On December 30, 1996, $35
     million was raised in a private placement through the sale of a Class A
     Limited Partnership Interest to a state pension fund.  The interest,
     which can be converted into 1,666,667 shares of common stock, will
     receive a preferred return equal to the greater of:  (a) 9.25% on the
     original investment during the first two years ending on December
     30, 1998, declining to 9.0% up to and including December 30, 2003; or
     (b) the actual dividends paid to common shareholders on 1,666,667 shares.
     On December 22, 1999, the holder of the Class A Limited Partnership
     Interest converted its ownership to  Series A Preferred stock.

     The changes in minority interest for the two years ended December 31 are
     as follows:

7    STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

     DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN

     The Company has adopted the Dividend
     Reinvestment, Stock Purchase, Resident
     Stock Purchase and Employee Stock
     Purchase Plan (the "DRIP" ).  The DRIP
     provides the stockholders of the
     Company an opportunity to automatically
     invest their cash dividends at a
     discount of 3% from the market price.
     In addition, eligible participants may
     make monthly or other voluntary cash
     investments, also typically at a
     discount, which has varied between 2%
     and 3% from the market price, in shares
     of common stock.  A total of $49
     million, $72 million and $34 million,
     net of officer and director notes, was
     raised through this program during
     1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

     PREFERRED SHARES

     On September 30, 1999, the Company
     privately placed 2,000,000 of its 8.36%
     Series B  Preferred shares, $25
     liquidation preference per share.  This
     offering generated net proceeds of
     approximately $48.7 million after
     offering costs of $1.3 million. The net
     proceeds were used to pay down Company
     borrowings.  The Series B Preferred
     shares are convertible at any time by
     the holder into Common Shares at a
     conversion price of $29.77 per Common
     Share, equivalent to a conversion ratio
     of .8398 Common Shares for each Series
     B Preferred Share (equivalent to
     1,679,543 Common Shares assuming 100%
     converted).  The Series B Preferred
     Shares are non-callable for five years.
     Each Series B Preferred Share will
     receive the greater of a quarterly
     distribution of $0.5225 per share or
     the dividend paid on a share of common
     stock on an as converted basis.

     PREFERRED SHARES (CONTINUED)

     On December 22, 1999, the holder of the
     Class A limited partnership interests
     converted its ownership to 9% Series A
     Preferred stock, liquidation preference
     of $21.00 per Common Share, total
     shares outstanding of 1,666,667.  The
     conversion to preferred stock occurred
     at the Company's request and permits
     the Operating Partnership to continue
     to use favorable tax depreciation
     methods.  The Series A Preferred shares
     are convertible at any time by the
     holder on a one-for-one basis into
     Common Shares.  Each Series A Preferred
     share will receive a quarterly
     distribution equal to the greater of 9%
     per annum multiplied by the liquidation
     preference or the dividend paid on a
     share of common stock.  The current
     dividend of $.53 per quarter (effective
     with the November, 1999 dividend) is
     equivalent to an annualized rate of
     $2.12 per share, which exceeds the 9%
     preferred return.  On and after
     December 30, 2003, each preferred share
     will receive the dividend paid on a
     share of common stock as long as the
     actual distributions paid in each of
     the prior eight consecutive quarters
     equaled or exceeded a 9.25% annual
     return.  Any unconverted interest can
     be redeemed without premium by the
     Company after December 30, 2006.

     OFFICER AND DIRECTOR NOTES FOR STOCK PURCHASES

     On August 12, 1996, eighteen officers
     and the six independent directors
     purchased an aggregate of 208,543
     shares of Common Stock through the DRIP
     at the price of $19.79.  The purchases
     were financed 50% from a bank loan and
     50% by a recourse loan from the
     Company.  The Company loans bear
     interest at 7% per annum and mature in
     August, 2016.  The Company loans are
     subordinate to the above-referenced
     bank loans, and are collateralized by
     pledges of the 208,543 common shares.
     The loans are expected to be repaid
     from the regular quarterly dividends
     paid on the shares of common stock
     pledged, after the corresponding bank
     loans are paid in full.

     On November 10, 1997, twenty-one
     officers and five of the independent
     directors purchased an aggregate of
     169,682 shares of common stock through
     the DRIP at the price of $26.66.  The
     purchases were financed 50% from a bank
     loan and 50% by a recourse loan from
     the Company.  The Company loans bear
     interest at 6.7% per annum and mature
     in November, 2017.  The Company loans
     are subordinate to the above-referenced
     bank loans, and are collateralized by
     pledges of the 169,682 common shares.
     The loans are expected to be repaid
     from the regular quarterly dividends
     paid on the shares of common stock
     pledged, after the corresponding bank
     loans are paid in full.

     STOCK PURCHASE AND LOAN PLAN

     In May, 1998, the Company adopted the
     Director, Officer and Employee Stock
     Purchase and Loan Plan (the "Stock
     Purchase Plan").  The program provides
     for the sale and issuance, from time to
     time as determined by the Board of
     Directors, of up to 500,000 shares of
     the Company's Common Stock to the
     directors, officers and key employees
     of the Company for consideration of not
     less than 97% of the market price of
     the Common Stock.  The Stock Purchase
     Plan also allows the Company to loan
     the participants up to 100% of the
     purchase price (50% for non-employee
     directors).

     STOCK PURCHASE AND LOAN PLAN (CONTINUED)

     On August 12, 1998, thirty officers/key
     employees and the six independent
     directors purchased an aggregate of
     238,239 shares of common stock through
     the Stock Purchase Plan at the price of
     $24.11.  The purchases for the
     officers/key employees were financed
     100% by a recourse loan from the
     Company (50% for non-employee
     directors).  The loans bear interest at
     7.13% per annum and mature on the
     earlier of the maturity of the 1996 and
     1997 phases of the loan program or
     August, 2018.  The loans are
     collateralized by pledges of the common
     stock and are expected to be repaid
     from the regular quarterly dividends
     paid on the shares.

     DIVIDENDS

     Stockholders are taxed on dividends and
     must report such dividends as either
     ordinary income, capital gains, or as
     return of capital.  The appropriate
     amount of each per common share is as
     follows:

                              ORDINARY INCOME      RETURN OF CAPITAL

            1997                   50.1%                 49.9%
            1998                   79.4%                 20.6%
            1999                   85.6%                 14.4%

     TOTAL SHARES/UNITS OUTSTANDING

     At December 31, 1999, 19,598,464 common
     shares, 3,346,210 convertible preferred
     shares (on a diluted basis) and
     14,034,301 UPREIT Units were
     outstanding for a total of 36,978,975.

 8   SEGMENT REPORTING

     The Company is engaged in one primary
     business segment - the ownership and
     management of market rate apartment
     communities (segregated as Core and
     Non-core properties).  Company
     management views each apartment
     community as a separate component of
     the operating segment.

     Non-segment revenue to reconcile total
     revenue consists of unconsolidated
     management and development fees and
     interest income.  Non-segment assets to
     reconcile to total assets include cash,
     cash in escrows, accounts receivable,
     prepaid expenses, deposits, investments
     in and advances to affiliates, deferred
     charges and other assets.

     Core properties consist of all
     apartment communities which have been
     owned more than one full calendar year.
     Therefore, the 1999 Core represents
     communities owned as of December 31,
     1997.  Non-core properties consist of
     apartment communities acquired during
     1998 and 1999, such that full year
     comparable operating results are not
     available.

 8   SEGMENT REPORTING (CONTINUED)

     The accounting policies of the segments
     are the same as those described in Note 1.

     The Company assesses and measures
     segment operating results based on a
     performance measure referred to as
     Funds from Operations ("FFO").  The
     National Association of Real Estate
     Investment Trusts defines FFO as net
     income (loss), before gains (losses)
     from the sale of property,
     extraordinary items, plus real estate
     depreciation including adjustments for
     unconsolidated partnerships and joint
     ventures.  FFO is not a measure of
     operating results or cash flows from
     operating activities as measured by
     generally accepted accounting
     principles and it is not indicative of
     cash available to fund cash needs and
     should not be considered an alternative
     to cash flows as a measure of
     liquidity.

     THE REVENUES, PROFIT (LOSS), AND ASSETS FOR
     EACH OF THE REPORTABLE SEGMENTS ARE
     SUMMARIZED AS FOLLOWS FOR THE YEARS
     ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999, 1998, AND

9    MANAGEMENT COMPANIES

     Certain property management, leasing
     and development activities are
     performed by Home Properties
     Management, Inc. and Conifer Realty
     Corp. (the "Management Companies").
     The Management Companies issued non-
     voting common stock to the Operating
     Partnership in exchange for management
     contracts for residential, commercial,
     and development managed properties and
     certain other assets.  This exchange
     entitles the Operating Partnership to
     receive 99% of the economic interest of
     each Management Company.  The remaining
     1% economic interest and voting stock
     were issued to certain inside directors
     of the Company.  On December 31, 1998,
     additional shares representing a 4%
     economic interest were sold and issued
     to the same inside directors.
     Therefore, effective January 1, 1999,
     the Operating Partnership is entitled
     to receive 95% of the economic interest
     of each Management Company.

     The Management Companies receive
     development, construction and other fee
     income from properties in the
     development phase.  This fee income is
     recognized on the percentage of
     completion method.  The Management
     Companies are accounted for under the
     equity method.

     The Management Companies provide
     property management and administrative
     services to certain real estate and
     other entities.  In consideration for
     these services, the Management
     Companies receive monthly management
     fees generally based on a percentage of
     revenues or costs incurred.  Management
     fees are recognized as revenue when
     they are earned.

     The Company's share of income from the
     Management Companies was $156, $113 and
     $92 for the years ended December 31,
     1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
     Summarized combined financial
     information of the Management Companies
     at and for the years ended December 31,
     1999, 1998 and 1997 is as follows:

     through June, 2000 and $335 from July,
     2000 through the August, 2003 lease
     expiration.  The lease also requires

     of property improvements, real estate
     taxes and common area maintenance.
     Rental expense was $698, $619 and $387
     for the years ended December 31, 1999,

     respectively, and bear interest at 1%
     over prime.

11   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     GROUND LEASE

     The Company has a non-cancelable
     operating ground lease for one of its properties.  The
     lease expires May 1, 2020, with options
     to extend the term of the lease for two
     successive terms of twenty-five years
     each.  The lease provides for
     contingent rental payments based on
     certain variable factors.  The lease
     also requires the lessee to pay real
     estate taxes, insurance and certain
     other operating expenses applicable to
     the leased property.  Ground lease
     expense was $194, $186 and $180
     including contingent rents of $124,
     $116 and $110 for the years ended
     December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997,
     respectively.  At December 31, 1999,
     future minimum rental payments required
     under the lease are $70 per year until
     the lease expires.

     401(K) SAVINGS PLAN

     The Company participates in a
     contributory savings plan.  Under the
     plan, the Company will match 75% of the
     first 4% of participant contributions.
     The matching expense under this plan
     was $398, $208 and $161 for the years
     ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997,
     respectively.

     INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN

     The Incentive Compensation Plan
     provides that eligible officers
                          and key employees
     may earn a cash bonus based on
     increases in funds from operations
     ("FFO") per share/unit (computed based
     on the basic shares/units outstanding).
     No cash bonuses were payable under the
     Incentive Compensation Plan unless the
     increase in FFO per share, after giving
     effect to the bonuses, was equal to or
     greater than 2%.  The Incentive
     Compensation Plan was amended in 1998
     by establishing a floor of 5% in per
     share/unit FFO growth.  The bonus
     expense charged to operations
     (including Management Companies) was
     $2,190, $1,997 and $1,193 for the years
     ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997,
     respectively.

     CONTINGENCIES

     The Company is party to certain legal
     proceedings.  All such proceedings,
     taken together, are not expected to
     have a material adverse effect on the
     Company.  The Company is also subject
     to a variety of legal actions for
     personal injury or property damage
     arising in the ordinary course of its
     business, most of which are covered by
     liability insurance.    While the
     resolution of these matters cannot be
     predicted with certainty, management
     believes that the final outcome of such
     legal proceedings and claims will not
     have a material adverse effect on the
     Company's liquidity, financial position
     or results of operations.

     In connection with a 1996 transaction,
     the Company is obligated to pay
     additional consideration in UPREIT
     Units if development fee income exceeds
     target levels over the first five
     years.  The Company has issued
     approximately 78,000 UPREIT Units as of
     December 31, 1999.  Management does not
     anticipate the issuance of these UPREIT
     Units nor additional issuance to have a
     material adverse effect on the
     Company's liquidity, financial position
     or results of operations.

     In connection with various UPREIT
     transactions, the Company has agreed to
     maintain certain levels of nonrecourse
     debt associated with the contributed
     properties acquired.  In addition, the
     Company is restricted in its ability to
     sell certain contributed properties
     (49% of the owned portfolio) for a
     period of time except through a tax
     deferred Internal Revenue Code Section
     1031 like-kind exchange.

     DEBT COVENANTS

     The line of credit loan agreements
     contain restrictions which, among other
     things, require maintenance of certain
     financial ratios and limit the payment
     of dividends.  At December 31, 1999,
     the Company was in compliance with
     these covenants.

     GUARANTEES

     The Company has guaranteed a total of
     $3,729 of debt associated with four
     entities where the Company is the
     general partner or managing agent.  In
     addition, the Company has guaranteed
     the Low Income Housing Tax Credit to
     limited partners in thirty-five
     partnerships totaling approximately
     $35,000.  The Company also guarantees
     the successful construction of
     properties developed under the federal
     government's Low Income Housing Tax
     Credit Program.  The outstanding
     guarantee at December 31, 1999 is
     approximately $54,900.  As of December
     31, 1999, there were no known
     conditions that would make such
     payments necessary.

     In addition, the Company, acting as
     general partner in certain
     partnerships, is obligated to advance
     funds to meet partnership operating
     deficits.

     EXECUTIVE RETENTION PLAN

     Effective February 2, 1999, the
     Executive Retention Plan provides for
     severance benefits and other
     compensation to be received by certain
     employees in the event of a change in
     control of the Company and a subsequent
     termination of their employment without
     cause or voluntarily with good cause.

12   STOCK BENEFIT PLAN

     The Company has adopted the 1994 Stock
     Benefit Plan as Amended (the " Plan "
     ).  Plan participants include officers,
     non-employee directors, and key
     employees of the Company. The Company
     has reserved 1,596,000 shares for
     issuance to officers and employees and
     154,000 shares for issuance to non-
     employee directors.  Options granted to
     officers and employees of the Company
     vest 20% for each year of service until
     100% vested on the fifth anniversary.
     Certain officers' options (264,000) and
     directors' options (127,500) vest
     immediately upon grant.  The exercise
     price per share for stock options may
     not be less than 100% of the fair
     market value of a share of common stock
     on the date the stock option is granted
     (110% of the fair market value in the
     case of incentive stock options granted
     to employees who hold more than 10% of
     the voting power of the Company's
     common stock).  Options granted to
     directors and employees who hold more
     than 10% of the voting power of the
     Company expire after five years from
     the date of grant.  All other options
     expire after ten years from the date of
     grant.  The Plan also allows for the
     grant of stock appreciation rights and
     restricted stock awards, however, there
     were none granted at December 31, 1999.
     At December 31, 1999, 119,140 and
     21,946 common shares were available for
     future grant of options or awards under
     the Plan for officers and employees and
     non-employee directors, respectively.
     On February 1, 2000, the Company
     adopted the 2000 Stock Benefit Plan
     (the "2000 Plan").  Plan participants
     have been expanded to include
     directors, officers, regional managers
     and on-site property managers. It is
     expected that all future awards of
     stock options will be granted under the
     2000 Plan.  The 2000 Plan limits the
     number of shares issuable under the
     plan to 2.2 million, of which 200,000
     are to be available for issuance to the
     non-employee directors.

12   STOCK BENEFIT PLAN (CONTINUED)

     The Company has adopted the disclosure
     only provisions of Financial Accounting
     Standards No. 123, "Accounting for
     Stock-Based Compensation."
     Accordingly, no compensation cost has
     been recognized for the stock option
     plan.  Had compensation for the
     Company's stock option plan been
     determined based on the fair value at
     the date of grant for awards in 1999,
     1998 and 1997, the Company's proforma
     net income before preferred dividends
     and proforma basic earnings per common
     share would have been $26,063, $18,563
     and $6,299 and $1.33, $1.34 and $.85,
     respectively.  The fair value of each
     option grant is estimated on the date
     of grant using the Black-Scholes
     option-pricing model with the following
     assumptions used for grants in 1999,
     1998 and 1997:  dividend yield of
     9.315%; expected volatility of 18.97%;
     forfeiture rate of 5%; and expected
     lives of 7.5 years for options with a
     lifetime of ten years, and five years
     for options with a lifetime of five
     years.  The interest rate used in the
     option-pricing model is based on a risk
     free interest rate ranging from 5.25%
     to 6.87%.

14   PROFORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

     The following unaudited proforma
     information was prepared as if the 1999
     transactions related to the
     acquisitions of 30 apartment
     communities in ten separate
     transactions and the $50 million Series
     B Preferred stock offering had occurred
     on January 1, 1998.  The proforma
     financial information is based upon the
     historical consolidated financial
     statements and is not necessarily
     indicative of the consolidated results
     which actually would have occurred if
     the transactions had been consummated
     at the beginning of 1998, nor does it
     purport to represent the results of
     operations for future periods.

                                                         EXHIBIT 4.19

                       HOME PROPERTIES OF NEW YORK, INC.

                      DIRECTOR DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

1.    PURPOSE

Home Properties of New York, Inc. (the "Company") has adopted this Home
Properties of New York, Inc. Director Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan")
to assist its independent directors with their individual tax and financial
planning and to permit the Company to remain competitive in attracting and
retaining its independent directors. The Plan permits eligible directors to
defer the receipt of annual compensation which they may be entitled to receive
from the Company and the Company to contribute matching contributions on their
behalf.

2.    ELIGIBILITY

Any member of the Board of Directors of the Company who is not otherwise an
employee of the Company or any subsidiary is eligible to participate in this
Plan.

3.    CONTRIBUTIONS

     (a)   Participant Contributions.

           (1)   AMOUNT OF DEFERRAL. A participant may elect to defer receipt
                 of any whole percent (100 percent maximum) of his or her
                 annual cash compensation otherwise payable to the participant
                 by the Company during a calendar year.

(1)                TIME FOR ELECTING DEFERRAL. An initial election to make a
                   deferral shall be made
                 within 30 days of the time the participant first becomes
                 eligible to participate. All other deferral elections shall be
                 made prior to the time that such compensation is to be earned
                 by the participant but, in any event, prior to the December 31
                 of the year prior to the year in which the annual cash
                 compensation is otherwise payable. Any election to defer shall
                 be made in accordance with subsection 3 below.

(2)                MANNER OF ELECTING DEFERRAL. A participant shall elect a
                   deferral by giving written notice to the Company in a form
                   prescribed by the Committee established pursuant to Section
                   9 (the "Committee"). The notice shall include (1) the year
                   to which the deferral relates; (2) the percentage and type
                   of compensation to be deferred; (3) the  period with respect
                   to which the deferral relates; and (4) the length of the
                   deferral period. A participant may designate a deferral
                   period of three, five or ten years in which case payment
                   will be made within 30 days following the applicable
                   anniversary date of the latest date any compensation is
                   deferred in any applicable year. For example, a participant
                   may elect in December 1999 to defer for three years
                   compensation payable in 2000 with respect to 2000 services.
                   If a portion of the compensation is otherwise payable in
                   cash in April 2000, it will be deferred and actually paid in
                   2003 within 30 days after the anniversary date of the latest
                   compensation deferred in 2000. Notwithstanding the
                   foregoing, in the event the participant retires or otherwise
                   ceases to be a member of the Board of Directors, vested
                   benefits payments shall be paid within 60 days of retirement
                   or such cessation notwithstanding any later date specified
                   in the participant's election form.


     (b)   Company Matching Contributions.

     The Company shall contribute 10 percent of the amount each participant
     defers.  The Company's contribution  shall be made as of the same date as
     the participant's deferral to which it relates and shall be deferred to
     the same payment date as the related participant deferral.

4.    PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS

     For each participant there shall be established a Participant Account.  A
participant's Account shall be valued as of each day there occurs a transaction
affecting the Account. Each deferral or Company contribution shall be reflected
by crediting the Participant Account with the number of shares of Company
Common Stock that could be purchased at the Common Stock's then fair market
value with the amounts deferred by the participant, or contributed by the
Company on behalf of a participant.  For purposes of making these credits, the
participant's quarterly compensation will be deemed to have been made on the
first business day of the month following the end of each calendar quarter and
the participants' meetings fees shall be deemed paid on the applicable meeting
date.   In addition, each Participant Account will be credited with the number
of shares of Company Common Stock that could be purchased with hypothetical
dividends that would be paid with respect to all shares previously allocated to
the Account on the same date and at the same price that shares are purchased
for participants in the dividend reinvestment feature of the Company's Dividend
Reinvestment and Direct Stock Purchase Plan.   Distributions from, or
forfeiture of, the Participant Account shall be recorded as of the day of such
distributions or forfeitures. The Account shall also be adjusted as of the date
of any transaction requiring additions to or distributions from the Account to
reflect any gains (or losses) in the fair market value of Company Common Stock
held in the Account. Two subaccounts shall be established within the Account to
track separately participant and Company contributions and the earnings and
distributions on each. The Common Stock's fair market value shall be the
closing price for a share of the Company's Common Stock as listed on the New
York Stock Exchange on the date that the transaction occurs.

     All amounts credited to participant contribution subaccounts shall be
fully vested at all times. Except for the possible claims of the Company's
general creditors, they shall not be subject to forfeiture on account of any
action by a participant or by the Company, including termination of the
participant's directorship.  Amounts credited to a participant's Company
contribution subaccount shall become fully vested on the third anniversary of
the date first credited to the subaccount if the participant has  continuously
been a director of the Company through the third anniversary of the
contribution date, or if the participant ceases to be a director on account of
disability, death  or retirement or upon a change in control as hereinafter
provided. For this purpose, "disability" shall mean the participant's inability
to perform his or her usual duties as a director of the Company on account of
illness or injury. Amounts payable under this Plan shall be paid only to the
participant provided that in the event of his or her death payments shall be
made to his or her estate.

     If a participant's Company subaccount becomes forfeitable, he or she shall
forfeit both Company contributions and the earnings thereon.

     The maintenance of individual Participant Accounts is for bookkeeping
purposes only. The Company is not obligated to make actual contributions to
fund this Plan or to acquire or set aside any particular assets for the
discharge of its obligations, nor is any participant to have any property
rights in any particular assets held by the Company, whether or not held for
the purpose of funding the Company's obligations hereunder.

5.    PAYMENT OF DEFERRED AMOUNTS

     No withdrawal may be made from a Participant Account except as provided in
this section 5. Payments of vested amounts from an Account shall normally be
made in a lump sum amount within 30 days following the applicable anniversary
date of the latest date any compensation is deferred in any applicable year and
within 60 days of the participant's retirement or other termination as a
director of the Company. In the case of financial hardship, the Committee, in
its sole discretion may distribute all or a portion of the vested portion of an
Account before an elected anniversary date or termination as a director but the
amount of the, distribution shall not exceed the amount needed to relieve the
financial hardship

     Payments for any reason other than a change in control shall be made only
in stock provided that any fractional shares from a Participant Account shall
be paid in cash. In the event of a change in control, all account balances
shall become fully and immediately vested and shall be paid, in cash or stock
as the Committee in its sole discretion may determine, within five days of the
change in control. For this purpose, the term "change in control" means a
change in control of the Company of a nature that would be required to be
reported in response to Item 5(f) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A or to Item
I of Form 8-K promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, provided that, without limitation, a change in control shall be deemed
to have occurred if (i) any "person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d)
and 14(d)(2) of such Act) is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or
indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 30% or more of the
combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities; or (ii)
during any period of twenty-four (24) consecutive months, individuals who at
the beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors of the Company
cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof unless the
election, or the nomination for election by the Company's shareholders, of each
new director was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors
then still in office who were directors at the beginning of the period.

     An aggregate of 50,000 shares of Company Common Stock (subject to
substitution or adjustment as provided below) shall be available for stock
payments under this Plan. Such shares may be authorized and unissued shares or
may be treasury shares. In the event of any change in the Common Stock of the
Company by reason of any stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization,
merger, consolidation, split-up, combination, or exchange of shares, or rights
offering to purchase Common Stock at a price substantially below fair market
value, or of any similar change affecting the Common Stock, the number and kind
of shares which thereafter are available for stock payments under the Plan
shall be appropriately adjusted consistent with such change in such manner as
the Committee may deem equitable to prevent substantial dilution or enlargement
of the rights granted to, or available for, participants in the Plan.

6.    PARTICIPANT'S RIGHTS UNSECURED

     The right of any participant or, if applicable, the participant's estate,
to receive benefits under the provisions of this Plan shall be an unsecured
claim against the general assets of the Company. Any amounts held in a
Participant Account, including amounts that may be set aside by the Company for
the purpose of meeting its obligations under this Plan, are a part of the
Company's general assets and shall be reachable by the general creditors of the
Company.

7.    STATEMENT OF ACCOUNT

     Statements will be sent to participants no less frequently than annually
setting forth the value of their Participant Accounts.

8.   TRANSFERABILITY

     The rights of a participant under this Plan shall not be transferable
other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and are
exercisable during the participant's lifetime only by the participant or by his
guardian or legal representative.

9.    PLAN ADMINISTRATOR

     The administrator of this Plan shall be a Committee of the Board of
Directors of the Company from time to time designated by the Board.  The
Committee's members shall not be employees of the Company. The Committee shall
have the authority to adopt rules and regulations for carrying out the Plan and
to interpret, construe and implement the provisions of the Plan. The Committee
may delegate some or all of its functions to another person as it may deem
appropriate.  The Board of Directors has designated the Management and
Directors Committee of the Board of Directors as administrator of the Plan
until further notice.

10.  AMENDMENT

     This Plan may at any time or from time to time be amended, modified or
terminated by the Company's Board of Directors. No amendment, modification or
termination shall, without the consent of a participant, adversely affect such
participant's accruals in his or her Participant Account.

11.  GOVERNING LAW

     This Plan and any participant elections hereunder shall be interpreted and
enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

12.  EFFECTIVE DATE

     The effective date of this Plan is January 1, 1999.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused its duly authorized officer to
execute this Plan document on its behalf this ____ day of November, 1999.

*If less than 100% is elected to be deferred, the specified percentage will be

FEDERAL TAX ASPECTS

     The Plan is a non-qualified deferred compensation plan under the
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. At the time a Company contribution or
a participant's deferral of compensation is made, it is intended that the
participants will not recognize income, for Federal income tax purposes. In
addition, assumed dividends will not be treated as income at the time they are
credited to the participant accounts.

     Participants will recognize ordinary income at the time the Company
contributions and participant deferrals, together with the earnings credited to
these amounts, are actually paid out or made available to the participants. The
amount of such ordinary income will equal the amount of cash received plus the
fair market value, on the date of payment, of any shares paid or made
available.

     The ultimate sale or exchange of any shares of common stock received under
the Plan will result in either long-term or short-term capital gain, or loss
depending on the holding period. A participant's basis in the shares will be
the amount of income he recognizes at the time the shares were actually paid or
made available to the participant.

     The Company is not entitled to deduct the amount of contributions or
deferrals into the Plan or the assumed dividends credited to an account.
Instead, the Company is entitled to take a deduction at the time a participant
recognizes income. The amount of the deduction is the amount of income that a
participant must recognize.

     For Social Security tax (F.I.C.A.) and Medicare tax purposes the Company
contributions and participant deferrals under the Plan are taxable as "wages"
at the time the amounts are paid.

     The Plan is not a tax-qualified plan under Section 401 (a) of the Internal
Revenue Code and is not subject to ERISA. The Company has not received any
ruling from the Internal Revenue Service concerning the tax consequences of the
Plan.

                                                            EXHIBIT 10-34

       SECOND AMENDMENT TO MASTER CREDIT FACILITY AGREEMENT

"SECOND AMENDMENT") is made as of the 30th day of August, 1999, by and

                             RECITALS

      A.    The parties to this Second Amendment are parties to that
certain Master Credit Facility Agreement, dated as of August 28, 1998, as
amended by that certain First Amendment to Master Credit Facility Agreement
dated as of December 11, 1998 (as further amended from time to time, the
"MASTER AGREEMENT").

      B.    All of the WMF's right, title and interest in the Master
Agreement and the Loan Documents executed in connection with the Master
Agreement or the transactions contemplated by the Master Agreement have
been assigned to Fannie Mae pursuant to that certain Assignment of Master
Credit Facility Agreement and Other Loan Documents, dated as of August 28,
1998 (the "ASSIGNMENT").  Fannie Mae has not assumed any of the obligations
of WMF under the Master Agreement or the Loan Documents as a result of the
Assignment.  Fannie Mae has designated WMF as the servicer of the Advances
contemplated by the Master Agreement.

      C.    The parties are executing this Second Amendment pursuant to the
Master Agreement to reflect, among other things, an increase in the Base
Facility Credit Commitment pursuant to Article VIII of the Master
Agreement.

      NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, in consideration of the mutual
promises and agreements contained in this Second Amendment and the Master
Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, hereby agree as follows:

1.    EXPANSION.  Pursuant to a Credit Facility Expansion Request submitted
by Borrower, the definition of "Base Facility Credit Commitment" is hereby
replaced in its entirety by the following new definition:

            "BASE FACILITY CREDIT COMMITMENT" means an amount equal to
$191,859,000, or such greater amount, not to exceed $200,000,000, as the
Borrower may elect in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions of
Article VIII.

      2.    FUTURE ADVANCE.  Borrower hereby requests, and Lender hereby
agrees to make, on or about the date of this Second Amendment, a Future
Advance in the amount of $32,978,000.  In connection with the Future
Advance, Borrower has amended all of the existing Security Instruments
(except for the Security Instruments encumbering existing Mortgaged
Properties located in New York), has added three Additional Mortgaged
Properties to the Collateral Pool by granting Security Instruments
encumbering the Additional Mortgaged Properties to WMF, and has executed
certain additional documents, and taken certain additional actions, in
connection therewith.  To reflect the foregoing, Exhibit A to the Master
Agreement is hereby replaced in its entirety by the Exhibit A attached to
this Agreement.

      3.    CAPITALIZED TERMS.  All capitalized terms used in this Second
Amendment which are not specifically defined herein shall have the
respective meanings set forth in the Master Agreement.

      4.    FULL FORCE AND EFFECT.  Except as expressly modified by this
Second Amendment, all terms and conditions of the Master Agreement shall
continue in full force and effect.

      5.    COUNTERPARTS.  This Second Amendment may be executed in
counterparts by the parties hereto, and each such counterpart shall be
considered an original and all such counterparts shall constitute one and
the same instrument.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of
the day and year first above written.

         Section 2.    REGISTRATION

                (a)  The Company shall prepare and file with the
Commission a registration statement or file any required supplement
or amendment to previously filed registration statements for the
purpose of effecting a Registration of the sale of Registrable Shares
by the Holders thereof, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to
effect such Registration as soon as practicable and in any event
within 90 days after the date hereof (including, without limitation,
the execution of an undertaking to file post-effective amendments and
appropriate qualification under applicable state securities and real
estate syndication laws); and shall use its reasonable efforts to
keep such Registration continuously effective until the earlier of
(i) the second anniversary of the date hereof, (ii) the date on which
all Registrable Shares have been sold pursuant to such registration
statement or Rule 144, and (iii) the date on which all of the
Registrable Shares may be sold in accordance with Rule 144(k), except
that such Rule 144(k) date shall be extended if and to the extent
that any Holder is or becomes an "affiliate" of the Company within
the meaning of Rule 144; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall
not be obligated to take any action to effect any such Registration,
qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 2 in any
particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to
execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such
Registration, qualification or compliance unless the Company is
already subject to service in such jurisdiction.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have the
right (the "SUSPENSION RIGHT") to defer such filing (or suspend sales
under any filed registration statement or defer the updating of any
filed registration statement and suspend sales thereunder) for a
period of not more than 90 days during any one-year period ending on
December 31 (but not more than 90 days in any 180 day period), if the
Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by the
President or any other executive officer or any director of the
Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Company, it
would be detrimental to the Company and its stockholders to file such
registration statement or amendment thereto at such time (or continue
sales under a filed registration statement) and therefore the Company
has elected to defer the filing of such registration statement (or
suspend sales under a filed registration statement).

              (b) The Company shall promptly notify the Holders of
the occurrence of the following events:

                  (i) when any registration statement relating to the
     Registrable Shares or post-effective amendment thereto filed
     with the Commission has become effective;

                  (ii) the issuance by the Commission of any stop
     order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement
     relating to the Registrable Shares;

                  (iii) the suspension of an effective registration
     statement by the Company in accordance with the last paragraph
     of Section 2(a) above;

                  (iv) the Company's receipt of any notification of
     the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Shares
     covered by a registration statement for sale in any
     jurisdiction; and

                  (v) the existence of any event, fact or
     circumstance that results in a registration statement or
     prospectus relating to Registrable Shares or any document
     incorporated therein by reference containing an untrue statement
     of material fact or omitting to state a material fact required
     to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
     not misleading during the distribution of securities.

The Company agrees to use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal
of any order suspending the effectiveness of any such registration
statement or any state qualification as soon as practicable.

              (c) The Company shall provide to the Holders, at no
cost to the Holders, a copy of the registration statement and any
amendment thereto used to effect the Registration of the Registrable
Shares, each prospectus contained in such registration statement or
post-effective amendment and any amendment or supplement thereto and
such other documents as the requesting Holders may reasonably request
in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Shares
covered by such registration statement.  The Company consents to the
use of each such prospectus and any supplement thereto by the Holders
in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Shares
covered by such registration statement or any amendment thereto.  The
Company shall also file a sufficient number of copies of the
prospectus and any post-effective amendment or supplement thereto
with the New York Stock Exchange (or, if the Common Stock is no
longer listed thereon, with such other securities exchange or market
on which the Common Stock is then listed) so as to enable the Holders
to have the benefits of the prospectus delivery provisions of Rule
153 under the Securities Act.

              (d) Subject to Section 2(a), the Company agrees to use
its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Shares covered
by a registration statement to be registered with or approved by such
state securities authorities as may be necessary to enable the
Holders to consummate the disposition of such shares pursuant to the
plan of distribution set forth in the registration statement.

              (e) Subject to the Company's Suspension Right, if any
event, fact or circumstance requiring an amendment to a registration
statement relating to the Registrable Shares or supplement to a
prospectus relating to the Registrable Shares shall exist,
immediately upon becoming aware thereof the Company agrees to notify
the Holders and prepare and furnish to the Holders a post-effective
amendment to the registration statement or supplement to the
prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file
any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the
purchasers of the Registrable Shares, the prospectus will not contain
an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading.

              (f) The Company agrees to use its best reasonable
efforts (including the payment of any listing fees) to obtain the
listing of all Registrable Shares covered by the registration
statement which are shares of Common Stock on each national
securities exchange on which securities of the same series are then
listed.

              (g) The Company agrees to use its reasonable best
efforts to comply with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in
connection with the offer and sale of Registrable Shares pursuant to
a registration statement, and, as soon as reasonably practicable
following the end of any fiscal year during which a registration
statement effecting a Registration of the Registrable Shares shall
have been effective, to make available to its security holders an
earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11 (a) of the
Securities Act.

              (h) The Company agrees to cooperate with the selling
Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of
certificates representing Registrable Shares to be sold pursuant to a
Registration and not bearing any Securities Act legend; and enable
certificates for such Registrable Shares to be issued for such
numbers of shares and registered in such names as the Holders may
reasonably request at least two business days prior to any sale of
Registrable Shares, provided that such holder shall have delivered to
the Company a letter from its financial advisor reasonably
satisfactory in both form and substance to the Company, that the
Registrable Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144.

         Section 3.    EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION

           The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses incurred
in connection with the registration, qualification or compliance
pursuant to Section 2 hereof.  All Selling Expenses incurred in
connection with the sale of Registrable Shares by any of the Holders
shall be borne by the Holder offering or selling such Registrable
Shares.  Each Holder shall pay the expenses of its own counsel.

         Section 4.    INDEMNIFICATION

           (a)  The Company will indemnify each Holder, each Holder's
officers and directors, and each person controlling such Holder
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all
expenses, claims, losses, damages and liabilities (including
reasonable legal expenses), arising out of or based on any untrue
statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained
in any registration statement or prospectus relating to the
Registrable Shares, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or based
on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any
such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is
based on any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement
or omission, made in reliance upon and in conformity with information
furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder for inclusion
therein.

              (b) Each Holder will indemnify the Company, each of its
directors and each of its officers who signs the registration
statement, each underwriter, if any, of the Company's securities
covered by such registration statement, and each person who controls
the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of
the Securities Act, against all claims, losses, damages and
liabilities (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) arising
out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement)
of a material fact contained in any such registration statement or
prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or based on any
omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the
extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or
omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement
or prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with information
furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder for inclusion
therein.

              (c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this
Section 4 (the "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") shall give notice to the party
required to provide indemnification (the "INDEMNIFYING PARTY")
promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any
claim as to which indemnity may be sought, but the omission to so
notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve such Indemnifying
Party from any liability which it may have to the Indemnified Party
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4 except to the extent of
the actual damages suffered by such delay in notification.  The
Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of such action, including
the employment of counsel to be chosen by the Indemnifying Party, and
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and payment of
expenses.  The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its
own counsel in any such case, but the legal fees and expenses of such
counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, unless the
employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by
the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of such action,
or the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel to take
charge of the defense of such action or the Indemnified Party shall
have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it
or them which are different from or additional to those available to
the Indemnifying Party (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall
not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of
the Indemnified Party), in any of which events such fees and expenses
shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party.  No Indemnifying Party, in
the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the
consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment
or enter into any settlement which does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to
such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to
such claim or litigation.

              (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section
4 is unavailable to a party that would have been an Indemnified Party
under this Section 4 in respect of any expenses, claims, losses,
damages and liabilities referred to herein, then each party that
would have been an Indemnifying Party hereunder shall, in lieu of
indemnifying such Indemnified Party, contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such expenses,
claims, losses, damages and liabilities in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party
on the one hand and such Indemnified Party on the other in connection
with the statement or omission which resulted in such expenses,
claims, losses, damages and liabilities, as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by the Indemnifying Party or such Indemnified Party and the
parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.  The
Company and each holder of Registrable Shares agrees that it would
not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section
were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of
allocation which does not take account of the equitable
considerations referred to above in this Section 4(d).

              (e) No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be
entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation.

              (f) In no event shall any Holder be liable for any
expenses, claims, losses, damages or liabilities pursuant to this
Section 4 in excess of the net proceeds to such Holder of any
Registrable Securities sold by such Holder.

         Section 5.    INFORMATION TO BE FURNISHED BY HOLDERS

           Each Holder shall furnish to the Company such information
as the Company may reasonably request and as shall be required in
connection with the Registration and related proceedings referred to
in Section 2 hereof.

         Section 6.    RULE 144 SALES

                (a)    The Company covenants that it will file the
reports required to be filed by the Company under the Exchange Act,
so as to enable any Holder to sell Registrable Shares pursuant to
Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

              (b) In connection with any sale, transfer or other
disposition by any Holder of any Registrable Shares pursuant to Rule
144 under the Securities Act, the Company shall cooperate with such
Holder to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of
certificates representing Registrable Shares to be sold and not
bearing any Securities Act legend, if deemed appropriate, and enable
certificates for such Registrable Shares to be for such number of
shares and registered in such names as the selling Holder may
reasonably request at least two business days prior to any sale of
Registrable Shares.

         Section 7.    PARTICIPATION IN UNDERWRITTEN OFFERINGS

                (a)  If the Company at any time proposes to
distribute any shares of its Common Stock for its own account by or
through underwriters in a registered public offering, if the timing
of the transaction permits, it will give written notice to the Holder
of its intention to do so.  Upon the written request of the Holder
(which request shall specify the number of Registrable Shares
intended to be disposed of by the Holder and the intended method of
disposition thereof), subject to paragraph (b) below, the Company
will use reasonable efforts to arrange for such underwriters to
include all the Registrable Shares requested to be offered and sold
by the Holder among the shares to be distributed by such
underwriters.

              (b) If, in the case of any registration pursuant to
Section 7(a), the managing underwriter of such underwritten offering
shall inform the Company of its belief that the distribution of all
or a specified number of such Registrable Shares concurrently with
the securities being distributed by such underwriters for the Company
would interfere with, or adversely affect, the successful marketing
of the securities being distributed by such underwriters for the
Company that can be sold in an orderly manner in such registration
within a price range acceptable to the Company (the "Maximum
Number"), the Company shall include in such registration:

              (i)      all Common Stock or securities convertible
into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, Common Stock that the
Company proposes to register for its own account (the "Company
Securities");

              (ii) to the extent that the number of Company
Securities is less than the Maximum Number, all Registrable Shares
requested to be included by Holders on a pro rata basis based on the
number of shares of Common Stock (on an as-converted basis) owned by
each Holder requesting inclusion;

              (iii)    all shares of Common Stock requested to be
included by the shareholders of the Company who are otherwise
entitled to "piggyback" registration rights under any agreement with
the Company on a pro rata basis, based on the number of shares of
Common Stock (on an as-converted basis) owned by each person
requesting inclusion, in relation to the number of shares owned by
all persons requesting inclusion in such registration.

              (c) The Holder will pay all Selling Expenses arising
from the inclusion of such Registrable Shares in any such
underwritten offering.

              (d) The Holder may not participate in any underwritten
offering hereunder unless the Holder (i) agrees to sell its
Registrable Shares on the basis provided in any underwriting
arrangements approved by the Company and (ii) completes and executes
all questionnaires, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other
documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.
If any Registrable Shares are to be distributed by the underwriters
for any such underwritten offering, the Holder shall be a party to
the underwriting agreement negotiated and agreed to by the Company
and such underwriters; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Holder shall not
be required to make any representations or warranties to or
agreements with the Company or the underwriters other than
representations and warranties or agreements regarding the Holder,
the Holder's Registrable Shares, the Holder's intended method of
distribution thereof and any other representation required for the
Company or the underwriters to comply with applicable laws in
connection with such offering.

             that may arise and may correct any defect, omission, or

             grant of any Award in a manner and to the extent it shall deem

             Committee against any cost or expense (including counsel fees)
             or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim
             with the approval of the Committee) arising out of any act or
             omission in connection with the administration or
             interpretation of the Plan, unless arising out of such
             person's own fraud or bad faith.

             Directors of the Company on February 1, 2000, but no Incentive
             Stock Option shall be effective unless and until the Plan has
             been approved by the Company's stockholders on or before
             January 31, 2001.

     2.4 Duration

             The Plan shall remain in effect until the later of:  (a) last
             expiration date of any Director's Option, Stock Option or SAR
             awarded under the Plan and (b) the last vesting date of any

     2.5 Shares Subject to the Plan

             The maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be
             subject to Awards granted under the Plan shall be 2,200,000.
             The number of such shares which shall be available for
             issuance pursuant to Director's Options made to Eligible
             Directors under the Plan shall be 200,000.  The Awards shall
             be subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 7.1, and
             shares to be issued upon exercise of Awards may be either
             authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock or authorized
             and issued shares of Common Stock purchased or acquired by the
             Company for any purpose.  If an Award or portion thereof shall
             expire or is terminated, cancelled or surrendered for any
             reason without being exercised in full, the unpurchased shares
             of Common Stock which were subject to such Award or portion
             thereof shall be available for future grants of Awards under
             the Plan.

     2.6 Amendments

             The Plan may be suspended, terminated or reinstated, in whole
             or in part, at any time by the Board of Directors.  The Board
             of Directors may from time to time make such amendments to the
             Plan as it may deem advisable, including, without limitation,
             amendments deemed necessary or desirable to comply with
             Section 422 of the Code with respect to Incentive Stock
             Options, Rule 16b-3 and the rules of the New York Stock
             Exchange or any successor or replacement provisions and any
             regulations issued thereunder; provided, however, that no
             amendment shall be made without the approval of the Company's
             shareholders if such approval is required in the determination
             of the Board of Directors in order to preserve the intended
             benefits of the Plan to the Company and the Participants under
             applicable laws, rules or regulations of any governmental
             authorities, stock exchange or other body.

             Except as otherwise provided herein, termination or amendment
             of the Plan shall not, without the consent of a Participant,
             affect such Participant's rights under any Award previously
             granted to such Participant.

             The Committee may also amend or modify the grant of any
             outstanding Award in any manner to the extent that the
             Committee would have had the authority to make such Award as
             so modified or amended.

     2.7 Participants and Grants

             Awards, other than Director's Options, may be granted by the
             Committee to those persons other than Eligible Directors who
             the Committee determines have the capacity to make a
             substantial contribution to the success of the Company.  The
             Committee may grant Stock Options other than Director's
             Options to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock
             (subject to the limitations of Section 2.5) as the Committee
             may, in its sole discretion, determine provided that, if
             required for listing the shares on the New York Stock
             Exchange:  (a) at least a majority of the Company's full-time
             employees in the United States, who are "exempt employees," as
             defined under Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 shall be
             eligible to receive Awards under the Plan; and (b) prior to
             February 1, 2003, at least a majority of the shares of stock
             underlying Option awards under the Plan must be awarded to
             employees who are not officers (as currently defined in Rule
             16a-1(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) or
             directors of the Company (collectively, (a) and (b) and
             hereinafter referred to as the "Broadly Based Requirements").
             Subject to the requirements in the preceding sentence, in
             granting Stock Options other than Director's Options under the
             Plan, the Committee, on an individual basis, may vary the
             number of Incentive Stock Options or Non-Qualified Stock
             Options as between Participants and may grant Incentive Stock
             Options and/or Non-Qualified Stock Options to a Participant in
             such amounts as the Committee may determine in its sole
             discretion.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum number
             of shares of Common Stock covered by all Awards granted in any
             calendar year to any Participant may not exceed 200,000
             shares.

3.    STOCK OPTIONS

     3.1 General

             All Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by
             written agreements executed by the Company and the Participant
             to whom granted, which agreement shall state the number of
             shares of Common Stock which may be purchased upon the
             exercise thereof and shall contain such investment
             representations and other terms and conditions as the
             Committee may from time to time determine, or, in the case of
             Incentive Stock Options, as may be required by Section 422 of
             the Code, or any other applicable law.

     3.2 Price

             Subject to the provisions of Sections 3.6(d) and 7.1, the
             exercise price per share of Common Stock subject to a Stock
             Option shall, in no case, be less than one hundred percent
             (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on
             the date the Stock Option is granted.

     3.3 Period

             Subject to the provisions of Section 3.6(d) the duration or
             term of each Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be for
             such period as the Committee shall determine but in no event
             more than ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof.

     3.4 Exercise

             Stock Options  may be exercisable immediately upon granting of
             the Stock Option or at such other time or times as the
             Committee shall specify when granting the Stock Option.  Once
             exercisable, a Stock Option shall be exercisable, in whole or
             in part, until the expiration or termination of its terms by
             giving a written notice of exercise, signed by the person
             exercising the Stock Option, to the Secretary of the Company
             at the principal office of the Company specifying the number
             of shares of Common Stock as to which the Stock Option is then
             being exercised together with payment of the full exercise
             price for the number of shares being purchased.  The date both
             such notice and payment are received by the office of the
             Corporate Secretary of the Company shall be the date of
             exercise of the Stock Option as to such number of shares.
             Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, no Stock Option
             may at any time be exercised with respect to a fractional
             share.

     3.5     Payment of Exercise Price

             The exercise price for shares of Common Stock as to which a
             Stock Option other than a Director's Option has been exercised
             and any amount required to be withheld, as contemplated by
             Section 7.3, may be paid:

             (a) in cash, or by check, bank draft or money order payable in
             United States dollars to the order of the Company; or

             (b) by the delivery by the Participant to the Company of whole
             shares of Common Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value
             on the date of exercise equal to the aggregate of the exercise
             price of Common Stock as to which the Stock Option is then
             being exercised; or

             (c) by the delivery of instructions to the Company to withhold
             from the shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be issued
             on the exercise that number of  whole shares of Common Stock
             having a Fair Market Value equal to the exercise price; or

             (d) by any combination of (a), (b) or (c) above.

             The Committee may, in its discretion, impose limitations,
             conditions and prohibitions on the use by a Participant of
             shares of Common Stock to pay the exercise price payable by
             such Participant upon the exercise of a Stock Option.

     3.6 Special Rules for Incentive Stock Options

             Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the following
             provisions shall apply to Incentive Stock Options granted
             under the Plan:

             (a)  Incentive Stock Options shall only be granted to
             Participants who are employees of the Company or its
             Subsidiaries.

             (b)  To the extent that the aggregate
             Fair Market Value of Common Stock, with respect to which
             Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by
             a Participant during any calendar year under this Plan and any
             other Plan of the Company or a Subsidiary, exceeds $100,000
             (determined by using the Fair Market Value as of the grant
             date), such Stock Options shall be treated as Non-Qualified
             Stock Options.

             (c)  Any Participant who disposes of shares of Common Stock
             acquired upon the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option by
             sale or exchange either within two (2) years after the date of
             the grant of the Incentive Stock Option under which the shares
             were acquired or within one (1) year of the acquisition of
             such shares, shall promptly notify the Secretary of the
             Company at the principal office of the Company of such
             disposition, the amount realized, the exercise price per share
             paid upon exercise and the date of disposition.

             (d)  No Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to a
             Participant who, at the time of the grant, owns stock
             representing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined
             voting power of all classes of stock either of the Company or
             any parent or Subsidiary of the Company, unless the purchase
             price of the shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise
             of such Incentive Stock Option is at least one hundred ten
             percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value (at the time the
             Incentive Stock Option is granted) of the Common Stock and the
             Incentive Stock Option is not exercisable more than five (5)
             years from the date it is granted.

     3.7 Termination of Employment

             (a) In the event a Participant's employment by, or
             relationship with, the Company shall terminate for any reason
             other than those reasons specified in Sections 3.7(b), (c),(d)
             or (e) hereof while such Participant holds Stock Options
             granted under the Plan, then all rights of any kind under any
             outstanding Option held by such Participant which shall not
             have previously lapsed or terminated shall expire immediately.

             (b) If a Participant's employment by, or relationship with,
             the Company or its Subsidiaries shall terminate as a result of
             such Participant's total disability, each Stock Option held by
             such Participant (which has not previously lapsed or
             terminated) shall immediately become fully exercisable as to
             the total number of shares of Common Stock subject thereto
             (whether or not exercisable to that extent at the time of such
             termination) and shall remain so exercisable by such
             Participant for a period of one (1) year after termination
             unless such Stock Option expires earlier by its terms.  For
             purposes of the foregoing sentence, "total disability" shall
             mean permanent mental or physical disability as determined by
             the Committee.

             (c) In the event of the death of a Participant, each Stock
             Option held by such Participant (which has not previously
             lapsed or terminated) shall immediately become fully
             exercisable as to the total number of shares of Common Stock
             subject thereto (whether or not exercisable to that extent at
             the time of death) by the executor or administrator of the
             Participant's estate or by the person or persons to whom the
             deceased Participant's rights thereunder shall have passed by
             will or by the laws of descent or distribution, and shall
             remain so exercisable for a period of one (1) year after such
             Participant's death unless such Stock Option expires earlier
             by its terms.

             (d) If a Participant's employment by the Company shall
             terminate by reason of such Participant's retirement in
             accordance with Company policies, each Stock Option held by
             such Participant at the date of termination (which has not
             previously lapsed or terminated) shall immediately become
             fully exercisable as to the total number of shares of Common
             Stock subject thereto (whether or not exercisable to that
             extent at the time of such termination) and shall remain so
             exercisable by such Participant for a period of three (3)
             months after termination, unless the Stock Option expires
             earlier by its terms.

             (e) In the event the Company terminates the employment of a
             Participant who at the time of such termination was an officer
             of the Company and had been continuously employed by the
             Company during the five (5) year period immediately preceding
             such termination, for any reason except "good cause"
             (hereafter defined) and except upon such Participant's death,
             total disability or retirement in accordance with Company
             policies, each Stock Option held by such Participant (which
             has not previously lapsed or terminated and which has been
             held by such Participant for more than six (6) months prior to
             such termination) shall immediately become fully exercisable
             as to the total number of shares of Common Stock subject
             thereto (whether or not exercisable to that extent at the time
             of such termination) and shall remain so exercisable for a
             period of three (3) months after such termination unless such
             Stock Option expires earlier by its terms.  A termination for
             "good cause" shall have occurred only if the Participant in
             question is terminated, by written notice (i) because of his
             or her conviction of a felony for a crime involving an act of
             fraud or dishonesty, (ii) intentional acts or omissions on
             such Participant's part causing material injury to the
             property or business of the Company, or (iii) because such
             Participant shall have breached any material term of any
             employment agreement in place between such Participant and the
             Company and shall have failed to correct such breach within
             any grace period provided for in such agreement.  "Good cause"
             for termination shall not include bad judgment or any act or
             omission reasonably believed by such Participant, in good
             faith, to have been in, or not opposed to, the best interests
             of the Company.

     3.8     Effect of Leaves of Absence

             It shall not be considered a termination of employment when a
             Participant is on military or sick leave or such other type of
             leave of absence which is considered by the Committee as a
             continuing of the employment relationship of the Participant
             with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.  In case of such
             leave of absence, the employment relationship shall be deemed
             to have continued until the later of (i) the date when such
             leave shall have been ninety (90) days in duration, or (ii)
             the date as of which the Participant's right to re-employment
             shall have no longer been guaranteed either by statute or
             contract.

4.  DIRECTOR'S OPTIONS

     4.1     General

             Each Director's Option granted under the Plan shall be
             evidenced by an agreement (an "Agreement") duly executed on
             behalf of the Company and by the Eligible Director to whom
             such Director's Option is granted and dated as of the
             applicable date of grant.  Each Agreement shall be signed on
             behalf of the Company by an officer or officers delegated such
             authority by the Committee using manual signature. Each
             Agreement shall comply with and be subject to the terms and
             conditions of the Plan.  Any Agreement may contain such other
             terms, provisions and conditions not inconsistent with the
             Plan or this Section 4 as may be determined by the Plan
             Administrator.  All Director's Options granted under the Plan
             shall be Non-Qualified Stock Options.

     4.2     Director's Options

             Subject to the limitation in Section 4.1 and to compliance
             with the Broadly Based Requirements, an option to purchase
             7,000 shares of Common Stock (as adjusted pursuant to Section
             7.1 shall be granted  in each of the years 2000, 2001 and
             2002., immediately following the annual meeting the Company's
             shareholders, to each member of the Company's Board of
             Directors (each, a "Director") who is an Eligible Director at
             such time immediately following such annual meeting.  If the
             grant of the Director's Options on the dates specified above
             would cause the Plan to not be in compliance with the Broadly
             Based Requirements, then, in the discretion of the Committee,
             such options shall be granted instead on the first date to
             occur on which such grant would not cause that compliance
             failure.  Such additional options shall be granted to Eligible
             Directors from time to time as may be determined by the
             Committee.

     4.3     Director's Option Exercise Price

             The exercise price per share for a Director's Option shall be
             the Fair Market Value determined in accordance with Section
             2.1(i) on the date of grant.

     4.4 Exercise

             Director's Options shall be exercisable immediately upon grant
             and are exercisable in whole or in part, at any time from time
             to time, until the expiration or termination of their term in
             accordance with Section 4.6 by giving written notice of
             exercise, signed by the person exercising the Director's
             Option, to the Secretary of the Company at the principal
             office of the Company specifying the number of shares of
             Common Stock as to which the Director's Option is then being
             exercised together with payment of the full exercise price for
             the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased.  The
             date both such notice and payment are received by the office
             of the Corporate Secretary of the Company shall be the date of
             exercise of the Director's Option as to such number of shares.
             Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, no Director's
             Option may at any time be exercised with respect to a
             fractional share.

     4.5 Payment of Exercise Price

             The exercise price  may be paid:

             (a) in cash, or by check, bank draft or money order payable in
                 United States dollars to the order of the Company; or

             (b) by the delivery by the Director to the Company of whole
                 shares of Common Stock having an aggregate Fair Market
                 Value on the date of exercise equal to the aggregate
                 exercise price of the Common Stock as to which the Stock
                 Option is then being exercised; or

             (c) delivery of instructions to the Company to withhold from
                 the shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be issued
                 on the exercise that number of whole shares having a Fair
                 Market Value equal to the exercise price; or

             (d) by any combination of (a), (b) or (c) above.

     4.6 Term of Director's Options

             Each Director's Option shall expire five (5) years from its
             date of grant, but shall be subject to earlier termination as
             follows:

             (a) In the event of the termination of a Director's Option
             holder's service as a Director, by reason of his or her
             removal as Director (by the shareholders, the Board of
             Directors or otherwise), the then-outstanding Director's
             Options of such holder (whether or not then exercisable) shall
             automatically expire on (and may not be exercised on) the
             effective date of such termination.

             (b) In the event of the termination of a Director's Option
             holder's service as a Director by reason of retirement or
             total and permanent disability, the then-outstanding
             Director's Options of such holder shall become exercisable, to
             the full extent of the number of shares of Common Stock
             remaining covered by such Director's Options, regardless of
             whether such Director's Options were previously exercisable,
             and each such Director's Option shall expire one (1) year
             after the date of such termination or on the stated expiration
             date, whichever is earlier.  For purposes of this Section 4.6,
             the phrase "by reason of retirement" means (a) mandatory
             retirement pursuant to Board policy or (b) termination of
             service by deciding not to stand for re-election.

             (c) In the event of the death of a Director's Option holder
             while such holder is a Director, the then-outstanding
             Director's Options of such holder shall become exercisable, to
             the full extent of the number of shares of Common Stock
             remaining covered by such Director's Options, regardless of
             whether such Director's Options were previously exercisable,
             and each such Director's Option shall expire one (1) year
             after the date of death of such optionee or on the stated
             grant expiration date, whichever is earlier.

             Exercise of a deceased holder's Director's Options that are
             still exercisable shall be by the estate of such holder or by
             the person or persons to whom the holder's rights have passed
             by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

             (d) In the event of the termination of a Director's Option
             holder's service as a Director for any reason other than as
             described in Sections 4.6(a)-(c), including without
             limitation, expiration of the Director's term in office
             (without renomination or reelection) or by resignation, the
             then outstanding Director's Options of such holder shall
             become exercisable, to the full extent of the number of shares
             of Common Stock remaining covered by such Director's Options,
             regardless of whether such Director's Options were previously
             exercisable, and each such Director's Option shall expire
             three(3) months after the effective date of such termination.

             4.7 Limitation of Rights

             Neither the recipient of a Director's Option under the Plan
             nor the recipient's successor or successors in interest shall
             have any rights as a shareholder of the Company with respect
             to any shares of Common Stock subject to a Director's Option
             granted to such person until the date of issuance of a stock
             certificate for such shares of Common Stock.

     4.8 Limitation as to Directorship

             Neither the Plan, nor the granting of a Director's Option, nor
             any other action taken pursuant to the Plan shall constitute
             or be evidence of any agreement or understanding, express or
             implied, that an Eligible Director has a right to continue as
             a Director for any period of time or at any particular rate of
             compensation.

     4.9 Limit on Awards to Eligible Directors

             Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, an Eligible
             Director shall not be entitled to receive or participate in
             any Award under the Plan other than Director's Options which
             are granted to such Eligible Director pursuant to Section 4.2
             and meet all of the requirements of Section 4 applicable
             thereto.

     4.10 Termination of Director's Options

             Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, no Director's
             Option shall be granted pursuant to Section 4.2 on a date when
             the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance
             pursuant to the Plan and then available for issuance pursuant
             to new Director's Options is less than the aggregate number of
             such shares which would be issuable pursuant to Director's
             Options otherwise required to be granted on such date.

     4.11 Conflicting Provisions

             In the event of any conflict between a provision of this
             Section 4 and a provision in any other paragraph of the Plan
             with respect to Director's Options, such provision of this
             Section 4 shall be deemed to control.  Except in the case of
             conflict, however, provisions in other sections are
             applicable.

5.    STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

     5.1     Stock Appreciation Rights

             In conjunction with the granting of Stock Options, the
             Committee may, in its discretion, award SARs to an officer or
             employee which entitle such individual to receive payment from
             the Company in accordance with this section and upon such
             terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine from
             time to time.

     5.2     Grant of SAR

             A SAR granted under this Section may be made part of a Stock
             Option at the time such Stock Option is granted or at any time
             thereafter until the option expires.

     5.3     Amount Payable Upon Election

             A SAR shall entitle the Participant to elect to receive, in
             lieu of exercising the Stock Option to which it relates, an
             amount (payable, in the sole discretion of the Committee, in
             cash, Common Stock, or a combination thereof) equal to 100
             percent of the excess of:

                 (a)  the Fair Market Value per share of the Company's
                 Common Stock on the date such SAR is exercised, multiplied
                 by the number of shares with respect to which such SAR is
                 being exercised, over

                 (b)  the aggregate option exercise price (under the stock
                 option agreement to which the SAR relates) for such number
                 of shares of Common Stock.

     5.4     Exercise of SAR

             A SAR shall be exercisable only to the extent that it has a
             positive value and the Stock Option to which it relates is
             exercisable, except that no SAR shall be exercisable during
             the first six (6) months after the date of its grant.
             Further, in the case of an officer of the Company subject to
             the provisions of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of
             1934, the SAR must be exercised during the period beginning on
             the third business day following the date of release for
             publication by the Company of financial data specified under
             Rule 16b-3(e)(1)(ii) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
             and ending on the twelfth business day following such date.

    5.5      Effect on Related Stock Option

             Upon the exercise of a SAR, the related Stock Option (or the
             appropriate portion thereof) with respect to which such SAR is
             exercised shall be automatically cancelled and shall not
             thereafter be exercisable.

     5.6     Effect on Stock Subject to Plan

             For purposes of determining the number of shares available
             under the Plan, all shares of Common Stock with respect to
             which a SAR is exercised shall no longer be available.

6.    RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS

     6.1     Grants

             The Committee may, in its discretion, grant one or more
             Restricted Stock Awards to any eligible employee.  Each such
             grant shall be evidenced by a Restricted Stock Award Document,
             which shall specify the number of shares of Common Stock to be
             issued to the Participant, the date of such issuance, the
             consideration for such shares, if any, by the Participant, the
             restrictions imposed on such shares, and the conditions of
             release or lapse of such restrictions.  Stock certificates
             evidencing shares of Restricted Stock subject to restrictions
             shall be held by the Company until the restrictions on such
             shares shall have lapsed and the shares shall have vested in
             accordance with the provisions of the Award.  Promptly after
             the lapse of restrictions, a certificate or certificates
             evidencing the number of shares of Common Stock as to which
             the restrictions have lapsed shall be delivered to the
             Participant.  The Participant shall deliver to the Corporation
             such further assurance and documents as the Committee may
             require.

     6.2     Restrictions

             (a)  Pre-Vesting Restraints.  Shares of Common Stock
             comprising any Restricted Stock Award may not be sold,
             assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of or
             encumbered, either voluntarily or involuntarily, until the
             restrictions have lapsed.

             (b)  Dividend and Voting Rights.  Unless otherwise provided in
             the applicable Award Document, a Participant receiving a
             Restricted Stock Award shall be entitled to cash dividend and
             voting rights for all shares of Common Stock issued even
             though they are not vested, provided that such rights shall
             terminate immediately as to any Restricted Stock that ceases
             to be eligible for vesting.

             (c)  Accelerated Vesting.  Unless otherwise provided by the
             Committee, the restrictions on Restricted Stock shall lapse
             upon the Participant's termination of employment with the
             Corporation by reason of Retirement, Total Disability or
             death.

             (d)  Forfeiture.  Unless otherwise specified by the Committee,
             Restricted Stock as to which the restrictions have not lapsed
             in accordance with the provisions of the Award or pursuant to
             Section 6.2(c) shall be forfeited upon a Participant's
             termination of employment.  Upon the occurrence of any
             forfeiture of shares of Restricted Stock, such forfeited
             shares shall be automatically transferred to the Company
             without payment of any consideration by the Company and
             without any action by the Participant.

7.    MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

     7.1 Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization

             In the event of changes to the outstanding shares of Common
             Stock of the Company through reorganization, merger,
             consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock
             split-up, stock dividend, stock consolidation or otherwise, or
             in the event of a sale of all or substantially all of the
             assets of the Company, an appropriate and proportionate
             adjustment shall be made in the number and kind of shares as
             to which Awards or Director's Options may be granted.  A
             corresponding adjustment changing the number or kind of shares
             and/or the purchase price per share of unexercised Stock
             Options or portions thereof which shall have been granted
             prior to any such change shall likewise be made.
             Notwithstanding the foregoing: (a) in the case of a
             reorganization, merger or consolidation, or sale of all or
             substantially all of the assets of the Company, in lieu of
             adjustments as aforesaid, the Committee may in its discretion
             accelerate the date of vesting of an Award or the date after
             which an Award may or may not be exercised or the stated
             expiration date thereof; and (b) in the event of a
             Participant's termination of employment under the
             circumstances described in the Company's Executive Retention
             Plan and, dated February 2, 1999 (as that plan may be
             subsequently amended the "Retention Plan") that would entitle
             the Participant to receive benefits under the Retention Plan,
             each Stock Option held by such Participant shall immediately
             become fully exercisable as to the total number of shares of
             Common Stock subject thereto (whether or not exercisable to
             that extent at the time of termination) and shall remain so
             exercisable by such Participant for a period of three (3)
             months after termination, unless the Stock Option expires
             earlier by its terms.   Adjustments or changes under this
             Section shall be made by the Committee, whose determination as
             to what adjustments or changes shall be made, and the extent
             thereof, shall be final, binding and conclusive.

     7.2 Non-Transferability

             No Award or Director's Option shall be transferable except by
             will or the laws of descent and distribution, nor shall any
             Award or Director's Option be exercisable during the
             Participant's lifetime by any person other than the
             Participant or his guardian or legal representative.  Any
             purported transfer contrary to this provision will be null and
             void and without effect.

     7.3 Withholding

             The Company's obligations under this Plan shall be subject to
             applicable federal, state and local tax withholding
             requirements.  Federal, state and local withholding tax due at
             the time of a grant or upon the exercise of any Award may, in
             the discretion of the Committee, be paid in shares of Common
             Stock already owned by the Participant or through the
             withholding of shares otherwise issuable to such Participant,
             upon such terms and conditions as the Committee shall
             determine.  If the Participant shall fail to pay, or make
             arrangements satisfactory to the Committee for the payment, to
             the Company of all such federal, state and local taxes
             required to be withheld by the Company, then the Company
             shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to
             deduct from any payment of any kind otherwise due to such
             Participant an amount equal to any federal, state or local
             taxes of any kind required to be withheld by the Company.

     7.4     Compliance with Law and Approval of Regulatory Bodies

             No Award or Director's Option shall be exercisable and no
             shares will be delivered under the Plan except in compliance
             with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations
             including, without limitation, compliance with all federal and
             state securities laws and withholding tax requirements and
             with the rules of all domestic stock exchanges on which the
             Common Stock may be listed.  Any share certificate issued to
             evidence shares for which an Award or Director's Option is
             exercised may bear legends and statements the Committee shall
             deem advisable to assure compliance with federal and state
             laws and regulations.  No Stock Option shall be exercisable
             and no shares will be delivered under the Plan, until the
             Company has obtained consent or approval from regulatory
             bodies, federal or state, having jurisdiction over such
             matters as the Committee may deem advisable.  In the case of
             the exercise of a Stock Option by a person or estate acquiring
             the right to exercise the Stock Option as a result of the
             death of the Participant, the Committee may require reasonable
             evidence as to the ownership of the Stock Option and may
             require consents and releases of taxing authorities that it
             may deem advisable.

     7.5 No Right to Employment

             Neither the adoption of the Plan nor its operation, nor any
             document describing or referring to the Plan, or any part
             thereof, nor the granting of any Award hereunder, shall confer
             upon any Participant under the Plan any right to continue in
             the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary, or shall in any
             way affect the right and power of the Company or any
             Subsidiary to terminate the employment of any Participant at
             any time with or without assigning a reason therefore, to the
             same extent as might have been done if the Plan had not been
             adopted.

     7.6 Exclusion from Pension Computations

             By acceptance of any Award under the Plan, the recipient shall
             be deemed to agree that any income realized upon the receipt
             or exercise thereof or upon the disposition of the shares
             received upon exercise will not be taken into account as "base
             remuneration", "wages", "salary" or "compensation" in
             determining the amount of any contribution to or payment or
             any other benefit under any pension, retirement, incentive,
             profit-sharing or deferred compensation plan of the Company or
             any Subsidiary.

     7.7 Abandonment of Options

             A Participant may at any time abandon a Stock Option prior to
             its expiration date.  The abandonment shall be evidenced in
             writing, in such form as the Committee may from time to time
             prescribe.  A Participant shall have no further rights with
             respect to any Stock Option so abandoned.

     7.8 Severability

             If any of the terms of provisions of the Plan conflict with
             the requirements of Rule 16b-3, then such terms or provisions
             shall be deemed inoperative as to directors and officers to
             the extent they so conflict with the requirements of Rule
             16b-3.

     7.9     Interpretation of the Plan

             Headings are given to the Sections of the Plan solely as a
             convenience to facilitate reference; such headings, numbering
             and paragraphing shall not in any case be deemed in any way
             material or relevant to the construction of the Plan or any
             provision hereof.  The use of the masculine gender shall also
             include within its meaning the feminine.  The use of the
             singular shall also include within its meaning the plural and
             vice versa.

     7.10    Use of Proceeds

             Funds received by the Company upon the exercise of Stock
             Options shall be used for the general corporate purposes of
             the Company.

     7.11 Construction of Plan

             The place of administration of the Plan shall be in the State
             of New York, and the validity, construction, interpretation,
             administration and effect of the Plan and of its rules and
             regulations, and rights relating to the Plan, shall be
             determined solely in accordance with the laws of the State of
             New York.
