             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                         SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
                            (Unaudited)
 
1.  ORGANIZATION AND FORMATION OF THE COMPANY

    Reckson Associates Realty Corp. ("the Company") was incorporated in
Maryland in September 1994 and is the successor to the operations of the
Reckson Group.  On June 2, 1995 the Company completed an initial public
offering of 6,120,000 shares of common stock ("the IPO").  The IPO price was
$24.25 per common share resulting in gross offering proceeds of approximately
$148,410,000.  The Company also issued 400,000 shares in a concurrent offering
to the Rechler resulting in $9,700,000 in additional proceeds.  Subsequent to
the aforementioned issuances, the underwriters exercised their over allotment
option on June 28, 1995 and, accordingly, the Company issued an additional
918,000 shares of common stock and received gross proceeds of $22,261,500.
The aggregate proceeds to the Company, net of underwriting discount and
advisory fee and other offering expenses, were approximately $162,000,000.

    The following transactions occurred simultaneously with the completion of
the IPO:

    The Company consummated various purchase agreements to acquire certain
    properties and interests in partnerships which own properties from certain
    non-continuing investors.  Pursuant to such agreements the Company paid
    approximately $6,952,000 in cash to certain holders of the interests.

    The Company became the sole general partner of Reckson Operating
    Partnership L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") by contributing substantially
    all of the net proceeds of the IPO, in exchange for an approximately 73%
    interest in the Operating Partnership.  All properties acquired by the
    Company are held by or through the Operating Partnership.

    The Operating Partnership executed various option and purchase agreements
    whereby it issued 2,758,960 units in the Operating Partnership ("OP Units")
    to certain continuing investors and assumed approximately $163,438,000
    (net of Omni mortgages) of indebtedness in exchange for interests in certain
    property partnerships, fee simple and leasehold interests in properties and
    development land, certain business assets of the executive center entities
    and 100% of the non-voting preferred stock of the management and
    construction companies.  In addition, the Operating Partnership paid 
    approximately $2,623,000 for costs associated with the transfer of the
    properties and other interests.

    The Operating Partnership contributed $17,500,000 to Omni Partners, L.P.
    ("Omni").  Omni used $10,000,000 of the cash contribution to repay mortgage
    indebtedness encumbering Omni's property and $1,000,000 of cash contribution
    to repay a loan from its existing partners.  In addition, the remaining
    $27,214,000 balance of the first mortgage was refinanced.  In July 1995,
    the Omni paid $6,500,000 to the minority partners in Omni to redeem a
    portion of their limited partnership interest therein.  In addition, the 
    Operating Partnership paid approximately $805,000 of financing costs, on
    behalf of Omni, in connection with the refinancing of Omni's debt.  As a
    result of these transactions the Operating Partnership has a 60% managing
    general partner interest in Omni.  In addition, the Operating Partnership
    will receive a priority interest in the Omni's annual cash flow equal to
    12% of $11.0 million of the Operating Partnership's aggregate capital
    contributions.

    The Operating Partnership used a portion of the IPO proceeds and the
    proceeds of certain new mortgage borrowings to repay approximately 
    $114,016,000 of indebtedness (excluding the Omni indebtedness and including
    $1,500,000 of a line of credit).  In conjunction with such repayment, the
    Operating Partnership incurred an extraordinary loss of $6,022,000 (before
    minority interest) consisting of approximately $6,356,000 in prepayment
    costs and other fees, $1,742,000 of unamortized deferred financing fees
    written off and a gain on partial forgiveness of a mortgage obligation of
    approximately $2,075,000.  In addition, the Operating Partnership used
    $5,000,000 of the IPO proceeds to repay notes to a Reckson Group
    partnership.

    The Operating Partnership borrowed $15,000,000 under a credit facility to
    repay certain mortgage indebtedness and to fund an acquisition of a
    commercial real estate investment.

As of September 30, 1996, the Company owned and operated 26 office properties 
comprising 3.6 million square feet, 73 industrial properties comprising 4.2
million square feet and 2 retail properties comprising 20,000 square feet,
located in the New York "Tri-State" area.  In addition, the Company owned
or had contracted to own approximately 135 acres of land in eight separate
parcels for development.

2.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the consolidated
financial position of the Company and the Operating Partnership at September
30, 1996 and the results of their operations for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1996 and their cash flows for the nine months ended September
30, 1996.  Subsequent to the IPO, the operating results of the service
businesses currently conducted by Reckson Management Group, Inc., Reckson
Construction Group, Inc. and Reckson Executive Centers L.L.C. are reflected in
the accompanying financial statements on the equity method of accounting.  All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the
consolidated financial statements.

    The combined financial statements of the Reckson Group reflect a
combination of real estate properties that are organized as partnerships and
a S corporation and affiliated corporate real estate management and
construction companies (the "Subsidiary Corporations") which were under common
control of Reckson Associates and affiliated entities.  The Reckson Group uses
the equity method of accounting for investments in less than 50% owned entities
and majority owned entities where control is temporary.  The Reckson Group is
considered the predecessor entity to Reckson Associates Realty Corp. due to
common ownership and management; therefore, its combined financial statements
are presented for comparative purposes.

    The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared by the
Company's management in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and in conjunction with the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  In the opinion of
management, the interim financial statements presented herein reflect all
adjustments of a normal and recurring nature which are necessary to fairly
state the interim financial statements.  The results of operations for the
interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for year ending December 31, 1996.  These financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the Company's and Reckson Group's audited financial
statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10K for the year
ended December 31, 1995.

    The Company intends to qualify as a real estate investment trust ("REIT")
under Section 856 through 869 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code").  As a REIT, the Company will not generally be subject to
corporate Federal income taxes as long as it satisfies certain technical
requirements of the Code relating to composition of its income and assets and 
requirements relating to distributions of taxable income to shareholders.

3.  MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE

    As of September 30, 1996, the Company had $106.4 million of fixed rate
mortgage loans which mature at various times between 2000 and 2004.  The loans
are secured by eleven properties and have a weighted average interest of 7.38%.
In addition, the Company has $4.4 million of floating rate loans at rates equal
to 150 basis points over one-month LIBOR.

    In connection with the acquisition of Landmark (see note 5), the Company
obtained a $50 million first mortgage loan, secured by the six buildings
encompassing Landmark.  Principal and interest payments on the mortgage loan
are due monthly based upon an interest rate of 8.02% per annum and a 25 year
amortization period.  The loan matures in November 1, 2006.

4.  CREDIT FACILITY

    On June 2, 1995, the Company obtained a credit facility (the "Credit
Facility") from a financial institution in the amount of $150 million which is
collateralized by a $45 million first mortgage.  The Company pays a financing
fee equal to 1.5% on each draw.  The loan agreement also provides for unused
commitment fees over the term of the facility.  The Credit Facility has a
two-year term which the Company has the option to extend one year subject to an
extension fee of 1.0% of the principal indebtedness outstanding on the
extension date.  Maximum advance availability is determined under a borrowing
base formula.  At September 30, 1996, the maximum advance availability was $150
million.  The maximum advance availability can be increased by adding income
producing properties to the borrowing base.  The balance outstanding on the
Credit Facility at September 30, 1996 was $109 million.  On February 22, 1996,
the Operating Partnership amended and restated the Credit Facility, pursuant to
which the interest rate was reduced to 175 basis points over one-month LIBOR
and the minimum debt service coverage ratio was reduced to 1.6.

5.  COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS

    On November 24, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase
eight office properties, including one joint venture property, located in
Westchester County, New York, encompassing approximately 935,000 square feet
(the "Westchester Properties").  On February 22, 1996, the Company acquired
six of the Westchester Properties as well as certain related management and
construction assets for an aggregate maximum purchase price of approximately
$49 million.  The Company financed the acquisition through the assumption of a
$9.3 million mortgage note, a draw on the Credit Facility (see note 4) and
issuance of OP Units.  In addition, up to $1.7 million of the maximum purchase
price will be paid to the selling entities within 60 days after the first
anniversary of the closing date, provided the Westchester Properties generate
minimum net operating income during the 12 month period following the closing
date.

    On April 9, 1996, the Company acquired the two remaining Westchester
Properties (including the joint venture property) for an aggregate purchase
price of approximately $32 million.  The Company financed the acquisition with
proceeds from an equity offering (see note 6) and issuance of OP Units.

    On July 12, 1996, the Company acquired a single-story industrial building
located in Farmingdale, New York, containing approximately 297,000 square feet
for approximately $8.5 million.  The acquisition was financed through a draw on
the Credit Facility.

    On July 31, 1996, the Company acquired an approximately 70% participating
interest in a mortgage note secured by a 350,000 square foot building located
in Lake Success, New York.  The Company paid approximately $23 million for its
interest in the mortgage note which was funded through a draw on the Credit
Facility.  The mortgage note has an outstanding principal balance of
approximately $51 million (excluding accrued and unpaid interest).  Cash Flow
from the property has been insufficient to service payments required under the 
mortgage note prior to and since the Company acquired an interest therein.

    On August 16, 1996, the Company acquired a single story industrial building
located in Melville, New York, containing an aggregate of approximately 60,000
square feet for approximately $2.3 million.  The acquisition was financed
through a draw on the Credit Facility.

    On September 17, 1996, the Company acquired a low rise office building along
with seven acres of adjacent undeveloped land, located in Tarrytown, New York,
containing approximately 61,000 square feet for approximately $4.2 million.  The
acquisition was funded through a draw on the Credit Facility.

    On July 10, 1996, the Company exercised its option to acquire 60 Charles
Lindbergh Boulevard in Uniondale, New York.  The 187,000 square foot, Class a
office building was acquired for approximately $20.75 million.  The acquisition
was financed through a draw from the Credit Facility and issuance of Operating
Partnership units.  In addition, on September 20, 1996, the Company exercised
its option to purchase a 36,000 square foot industrial building located in Port
Washington, New York, for approximately $3.5 million.  The acquisition was
financed through a draw on the Credit Facility which was used to repay existing
indebtedness.  These properties was acquired in connection with an option
granted to the Company at the IPO.  The option agreement provided for a purchase
price equal to the lesser of (i) a fixed price established at the time of the
IPO and (ii) the net operating income divided by a capitalization rate of 11.5%,
provided that the purchase price could not be less than the outstanding balance
of the mortgage debt encumbering the property at the acquisition date.  The
properties was purchased from a partnership owned by Donald Rechler and Roger
Rechler.

    On October 7, 1996, the Company acquired Landmark Square ("Landmark"), a six
building office complex encompassing an aggregate of approximately 800,000
square feet located in Stamford, Connecticut.  The Company purchased Landmark
from the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company ("MetLife") for approximately $77
million.  The acquisition was funded with a first mortgage provided by MetLife
in the amount of $50 million, and $27 million of borrowings incurred under a
bridge loan from its Credit Facility.   

6.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

    On February 22, 1996, the Operating Partnership issued 307,606 OP Units in
connection with the acquisition of six of the Westchester Properties.  On
April 9, 1996, the Company issued an additional 31,161 OP Units in connection
with the acquisition of the two remaining Westchester Properties.

    On April 9, 1996, the Company completed a public stock offering (the "April

Proceeds from the April Offering, net of underwriting discount and costs of the
offering were approximately $85.5 million.

    On July 10, 1996, the Operating Partnership issued 114,722 OP Units in
connection with the acquisition of 60 Charles Lindbergh Boulevard.

    Net income per share was calculated using the weighted average number of

per share.

    On October 22, 1996, the Company completed a public stock offering and sold
1,500,000 common shares at a price of $35.50 per share.  Proceeds from the

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.

   The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying
Consolidated Financial Statements of Reckson Associates Realty Corp.  (the
"Company") and the Combined Financial Statements of the Reckson Group and
related notes thereto.

OVERVIEW AND BACKGROUND

   The Reckson Group (the predecessor to the Company) was engaged in the
ownership, management, operation, leasing and development of commercial real
estate properties, principally office and industrial buildings, and certain
development land located primarily on Long Island.  On June 2, 1995, following
completion of an initial public offering and related formation transactions, the
Company owned or had an interest in 72 properties and succeeded to the Reckson
Group's real estate business.  The Company owns all of the interests in the
properties through Reckson Operating Partnership, L.P. (the "Operating
Partnership").

   At September 30, 1996, the Company's portfolio of real estate properties
included 26 office buildings containing approximately 3.6 million square feet,
73 industrial buildings containing approximately 4.2 million square feet and 2
retail properties containing 20,000 square feet.

   At July 31, 1996, the Company acquired an approximately 70% participating
interest in a mortgage note secured by a 350,000 square foot office building
located in Lake Success, New York.  The Company paid approximately $23 million
for its interest in the mortgage note which was funded through a draw on the
Credit Facility.  Cash flow from the property has been insufficient to service
payments required under the Mortgage Note prior to and since the Company
acquired an interest therein.

   On August 16, 1996, the Company acquired a single story industrial building
located in Melville, New York, containing an aggregate of approximately 60,000
square feet for approximately $2.3 million.  The acquisition was financed
through a draw on the Credit Facility.

   On September 17, 1996, the Company acquired a 61,000 square foot office
building along with seven acres of undeveloped land in Tarrytown, New York for
approximately $4.2 million.  The acquisition was funded with a draw on the
Credit Facility.

   On September 20, 1996, the Company acquired a 36,000 square foot industrial
building located in Port Washington, New York for $3.5 million.  The acquisition
was funded with borrowings under the Credit Facility.

   On October 7, 1996, the Company acquired Landmark Square ("Landmark"), a
six building office complex encompassing an aggregate of approximately 800,000
square feet located in Stamford, Connecticut.  The Company purchased Landmark
from the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company ("MetLife") for approximately $77
million.  The acquisition was funded with a first mortgage provided by MetLife
in the amount of $50 million, and $27 million of borrowings incurred under a
bridge loan from its Credit Facility.

   On April 9, 1996, the Company completed a public stock offering (the "April
Offering") and sold 3,000,000 common shares at a price of $30.50 per share.
Proceeds from the offering net of underwriting discount and costs of the
offering were approximately $85.5 million.

   On October 22, 1996, the Company completed a public stock offering and sold
1,500,000 common shares at a price of $35.50 per share.  Net proceeds to the
Company amounted to approximately $52 million.  On October 23, 1996, the
underwriter exercised its over allotment option to purchase 225,000 common
shares.  Net proceeds to the Company amounted to approximately $7.8 million.

   The market capitalization of the Company, based on the market value (at a
stock price $37.13 at September 30, 1996) of 10,441,166 issued and outstanding
shares of Company common stock and 3,360,613 OP Units (assuming conversion to
common stock) and the $214.5 million (including share of joint venture and net
of minority partners' 40% interest in Omni's debt) of debt outstanding at
September 30, 1996 was $726.8 million.  As a result, the Company's total debt to
total market capitalization ratio at September 30, 1996 equaled approximately
30%.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   The Company believes that in order to provide a meaningful historical
analysis of the financial statements, certain adjustments must be made to the 
historical Reckson Group combined financial statements to make each accounting
period comparable.  Accordingly, the revenues and expenses for the periods
indicated below include the operations of those properties which were sold or
transferred to the Company in connection with the formation transactions.  In
addition, 100% of the operations of Omni are presented in each period.  The
following sections discuss the results of operations as adjusted and are in
thousands.

                                           =========           ========   

    Income of $6,395 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 increased by 
$1,725 as compared to income of $4,670 for the 1995 period.  The increase in
base rental revenue of $7,772 and $424 for escalations is primarily
attributable to additional square footage leased, particularly at the Omni and
the acquisition of properties during the period June 3, 1995 to September 30,
1996.

   Operating expenses and real estate taxes increased by $3,407 for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the 1995 period.  The increase in
operating expenses and real estate taxes during the 1996 period are primarily
attributable to operating an increased number of properties.  Interest expense
increased $1,143 for the three months ended September 30, 1996, compared to the
prior period, principally due to an increase in the amount of outstanding debt
incurred in connection with the acquisition of properties.  Marketing, general
and administrative expenses increased by $609 primarily as a result of overall
growth of the Company including payroll and related costs, the opening of the
Westchester division and costs of operating as a public company.

Nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared to nine months ended September 30,
1995:

     Income of $17,719 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 increased by
$11,110 as compared to income of $6,609 for the nine months ended September 30,
1995. The increase in base rental revenue of $19,536 is primarily attributable
to additional square footage leased particularly at the Omni and the acquisition
of properties during the period from June 3, 1995 to September 30, 1996.

    Operating expenses and real estate taxes increased by an aggregate amount
of $7,061 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the 1995
period.  The increase in operating expenses during the 1996 period is primarily
attributable to operating an increased number of properties during the 1996
period and the impact of severe winter weather during early 1996 as compared to
the 1995 period.

    Interest expense decreased by $2,485 for the nine months ended September
30, 1996 compared to the prior year, principally due to the repayment and
refinancing of debt in connection with the formation transactions in June 1995.
Marketing, general and administration expenses increased by $1,000 primarily as
a result of the opening of the Westchester division and costs of operating as a
public company.

    In February 1996, the Company amended and restated The Credit Facility loan
agreement.  As a result, certain deferred loan costs incurred in connection with
the original credit facility were written off.  Such amount is reflected as an 
extraordinary loss in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

   In June 1995, the Company completed an initial public offering of 7,438,000
shares of its common stock at $24.25 per share (including an over-allotment
option of 918,000 shares).  Net proceeds to the Company, after underwriting
discounts and other offering costs were approximately $162 million.  In
conjunction with the formation transactions certain investors contributing
interests in properties and or property partnerships received OP Units.  A Unit
and a share of the Company's common stock have essentially the same economic
characteristics in as much as they effectively share equally in the net income
or loss of the Operating Partnership.  Holders of OP Units will have the
opportunity beginning on the second anniversary of the consummation of the IPO
to have their OP Units redeemed for cash equal to the fair market value thereof
at the time of redemption or at the election of the Company for shares of common
stock on a one for one basis. Each time an OP Unit is redeemed, the Company's
percentage interest in the Operating Partnership will be proportionately
increased.

   The Company used the proceeds of the IPO and an initial draw of $15 million
on its $150 million credit facility with Salomon Brothers, Inc. (the "Credit
Facility") (i) to repay certain mortgage indebtedness on properties in the
amount of $121.1 million (including repayment of $10 million of Omni's debt,
prepayment costs and other related expenses); (ii) to pay approximately $6 
million of notes payable to partners of certain of the property partnerships;
(iii) to pay approximately $1.2 million of financing fees related to the Credit
Facility; (iv) to pay approximately $16 million to purchase interests in
property partnerships and or properties from the non-continuing investors;
(v) to acquire certain other real estate properties from third parties (the 
"Acquisition Properties") for approximately $25.9 million; and (vi) to
establish working capital reserves.

   In connection with the purchase of one of the Acquisition Properties the 
Company issued 131,670 OP Units as partial consideration in the transaction.

   On April 9, 1996, the Company completed the 1996 Offering.  Net proceeds to 
the Company (after underwriting discount of $5.0 million and approximately
$750,000 of offering costs) were approximately $85.5 million.  Net proceeds
were effectively used primarily to purchase the Westchester Properties
including the related construction and management assets and certain other
commercial real estate properties.

   On October 22, 1996, the Company completed a 1,500,000 common shares
offering.  Net proceeds to the Company (after underwriting discount of $1.1
million and approximately $200,000 of offering costs) were approximately $52.0
million.  Net proceeds were effectively used to purchase Landmark and certain
other commercial real estate properties previously purchased or under contract
to purchase.  In addition, on October 23, 1996 the underwriter elected to
exercise its over allotment option to purchase 225,000 common shares.  Net
proceeds to the Company amounted to approximately $7.8 million and will be used
fund future acquisitions of properties and general working capital.

   The Credit Facility has a two-year term, with a one-year extension and
requires monthly payments of interest only, with the balance of all principal
and accrued but unpaid interest due on June 2, 1997.  The loan agreement
provides for a financing fee equal to 1.5% of each draw.  The loan agreement
also provides for unused commitment fees, over the term of the facility.  The
Credit Facility is effectively collateralized by a $45 million first mortgage.
As further security, the Company (through the Operating Partnership and a
subsidiary) guarantee all borrowings under the Credit Facility.

   In February 1996, the Operating Partnership amended and restated the Credit
Facility agreement, pursuant to which the interest rate was reduced to 175
basis points over one-month LIBOR (at September 30, 1996, the one month LIBOR
equaled 5.44%) and the minimum debt service coverage ratio was reduced to 1.6.
In addition, the Operating Partnership was given the right to convert
outstanding borrowings at maturity to a five-year term loan at a fixed rate
equal to the then prevailing interest rate on five-year U.S. Treasury
instruments plus a spread, provided certain specified conditions are satisfied
and no event of default exists.  The Credit Facility contains a number of
customary financial covenants.

    The Company's indebtedness at September 30, 1996 totaled $214.5 million
(including share of joint venture debt and net of the minority partners' 40%
interest in Omni's debt) and was comprised of $109 million outstanding under the
Credit Facility and $105.5 million of mortgage indebtedness.  Based on the
Company's total market capitalization of $726.8 million at September 30, 1996,
(calculated at a $37.13 stock price and assuming the conversion of 3,360,613 OP
Units outstanding on such date) the Company's debt represented 30% of its total
market capitalization.

   The Company expects to meet its short term liquidity requirements primarily
through cash flow from operating activities, which the Company believes will be
sufficient to fund non-incremental revenue generating capital expenditures and
payment of dividends.  In addition to its operating cash flow, the Credit
Facility provides for working capital advances.  The Company intends to finance
its on-going construction and acquisition activities through borrowings under
the Credit Facility and mortgage indebtedness.  At September 30, 1996, the
Company had maximum capacity under the Credit Facility of approximately $150
million subject to the sufficiency of the borrowings base, as defined in the
loan agreement (see note 4 to the Financial Statements).  The Company expects
to meet its long-term liquidity requirements, consisting primarily of debt
maturities, through the refinancing of existing mortgage indebtedness or through
the issuance of additional equity and/or debt securities.

   In order to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, the Company
is required to make distributions to its stockholders of at least 95% of REIT
taxable income.  The Company expects to use its cash flow from operating
activities for distributions to stockholders and for payment of recurring,
non-incremental revenue-generating expenditures.  The Company intends to invest
amounts accumulated for distribution in short-term investments.

(1)  Per square foot rental rate represents annualized base rent as of lease
expiration date plus non-recoverable operating expense pass-through.
(2)  Square feet subject to expiring leases is utilized as a law office.
(3)  Square feet subject to expiring leases include a retail bank space.

INFLATION

    The office leases generally provided for fixed base rent increases or
indexed escalations.  In addition, the office leases provide for separate
escalations of real estate taxes and electric costs over a base amount.  The
industrial leases generally provide for fixed base rent increases, direct pass 
through of certain operating expenses and separate real estate tax
escalations over a base amount.  The Company believes that inflationary
increases in expenses will be offset by contractual rent increases described
above.  The Credit Facility bears interest at a variable rate, which will be 
influenced by changes in short-term interest rates, and is sensitive to
inflation.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

    Management believes that funds from operations ("FFO") is an appropriate
measure of performance of an equity REIT.  Funds from operations is defined by
the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) as net
income or loss, excluding gains or losses from debt restructuring and sales of
properties plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for
unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.  Funds from operations does not
represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principals and is not indicative of cash available to fund
cash needs.  Funds from Operations should not be considered as an alternative
to net income as an indicator of the Company's operating performance or as an
alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.

    In March 1995, NAREIT issued a "White Paper" analysis to address certain
interpretive issues under its definition of FFO.  The White Paper provides
that amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-rental
estate assets are no longer to be added back to net income to arrive at FFO.

    The Company has adopted the new method, however, the following table
presents the Company's FFO under both methods of calculation:
