            Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
                           March 31, 1998
                              (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.  In June, 1995 the Company completed an initial public offering 
of 7,038,000 shares (pre-split) of $.01 par value common stock ("the IPO").  
The IPO price was $24.25 per common share (pre-split) resulting in gross 
offering proceeds of approximately $170,671,500.  The Company also issued 
400,000 shares (pre-split) in a concurrent offering to the Rechler family 
resulting in $9,700,000 in additional proceeds.  The aggregate proceeds to the 
Company, net of underwriting discount, advisory fee and other offering 
expenses, were approximately $162,000,000.

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

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 (pre-split) 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.

    As of March 31, 1998, the Company owned and operated 62 office properties 
comprising approximately 8.5 million square feet, 118 industrial properties 
comprising approximately 9.5 million square feet and two retail properties 
comprising approximately 20,000 square feet, located in the New York "Tri-
State" area.  In addition, the Company owned or had contracted to own 
approximately 847 acres of land (including 400 acres under option) in 17 
separate parcels for development.  The Company also has invested approximately 
$30.3 million in certain mortgage notes encumbering four Class A office 
properties encompassing approximately 577,000 square feet and a 400 acre 
parcel of land.  In addition, the Company has invested $17 million in a note 
receivable secured by a partnership interest in Omni Partners, L.P., owner of 
the Omni, a 575,000 Class A office property located in Uniondale, New York. 

    During 1997, the Company formed Reckson Service Industries, Inc. ("RSI") 
and Reckson Strategic Venture Partners, LLC ("RSVP").  The Operating 
Partnership owns a 95% nonvoting interest in RSI.  RSI will serve as the 
managing member of RSVP.  RSI will invest in operating companies that 
generally will provide commercial services to properties owned by the Company 
and its tenants and third parties.  RSVP was formed to provide the Company 
with a "research and development" vehicle to invest in alternative real estate 
sectors.  RSVP will invest primarily in real estate and real estate related 
operating companies generally outside of the Company's core office and 
industrial focus.  RSVP's strategy is to identify and acquire interests in 
established entrepreneurial enterprises with experienced management teams in 
market sectors which are in the early stages of their growth cycle or offer 
unique circumstances for attractive investments as well as a platform for 
future growth.  At March 31, 1998, the Operating Partnership had made 
investments in or loans to RSI and RSVP aggregating approximately $13.6 
million and $7.5 million, respectively in connection with start up costs and 
certain initial investments.  Such amounts have been included in investments 
in and advances to affiliates on the accompanying balance sheet.


    In October 1997, the Company entered into an agreement to invest $150 
million in the Morris Companies, a New Jersey developer and owner of "Big Box" 
warehouse facilities.  The Morris Companies' properties include 23 industrial 
buildings encompassing approximately 4.0 million square feet.  The Company has 
initially invested approximately $72 million for an approximate 73% 
controlling interest in Reckson Morris Operating Partnership, L.P. ("RMI").
In connection with the transaction the Morris Companies contributed 100% of
their interests in certain industrial properties to RMI in exchange for 
operating partnership units in RMI.

2.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the 
consolidated financial position of the Company and the Operating Partnership 
at March 31, 1998 and the results of their operations and cash flows for the 
three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 respectively.  The Operating 
Partnership's investment in RMI is reflected in the accompanying financial 
statements on a consolidated basis with a reduction for limited partner 
minority interest.  The operating results of the service businesses currently 
conducted by Reckson Management Group, Inc., Reckson Construction Group, Inc., 
Reckson Service Industries, Inc. and Reckson Executive Centers, L.L.C. are 
reflected in the accompanying financial statements on the equity method of 
accounting. The Operating Partnership also invests in real estate joint 
ventures where it may own less than a controlling interest, such investments 
are also 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 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 the year ending December 31, 1998.  These financial statements 
should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements 
and the notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10K for the year ended 
December 31, 1997.

    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.

    In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 
128, Earnings per Share.  Statement 128 replaced the calculation of primary 
and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per 
share.  Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes 
any dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities.  Diluted 
earnings per share is very similar to the previously reported  fully diluted 
earnings per share.  All earnings per share amounts for all periods have been 
presented, and where appropriate, restated to conform to the Statement 128 
requirements.  The conversion of Units into common stock would not have a 
significant effect on per share amounts as the Units share proportionately 
with the common stock in the results of the Operating Partnership's 
operations.

    Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 
current period presentation.

3.  MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE

    As of March 31, 1998, the Company had approximately $194 million of fixed 
rate mortgage notes which mature at various times between 1999 and 2012.  The 
notes are secured by 20 properties and have a weighted average interest rate 
of 7.7%.

4.  SENIOR UNSECURED NOTES

    As of March 31, 1998, the Company had $150 million of 10-year senior 
unsecured notes (the "Senior Unsecured Notes").  The Senior Unsecured Notes 
were priced at par with interest at 110 basis points over the 10-year treasury 
note for an all in coupon of 7.2%  Interest is payable semiannually with 
principal and unpaid interest due on August 28, 2007.

5.  CREDIT FACILITIES

    As of March 31, 1998, the Company had a three-year $250 million unsecured 
credit facility from Chase Manhattan Bank and Union Bank of Switzerland (the 
"Unsecured Credit Facility").  The Company's ability to borrow thereunder is 
subject to the satisfaction of certain customary financial covenants.  In 
addition, borrowings under the Unsecured Credit Facility bear interest at a 
floating rate equal to one, two, three or six month LIBOR (at the Company's 
election) plus a spread ranging from 1.125% to 1.5% based on the Company's 
leverage ratio.  In addition, the Company obtained a $200 million unsecured
credit facility (the "Bridge Facility") which matures on June 15, 1998.  The
Bridge Facility was provided by the two lead members of the Unsecured Credit
Facility bank group and serves as interim financing while the Company seeks 
to expand the availability under the Unsecured Credit Facility.

6.  COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS

    On January 2, 1998 the Company acquired a 586,000 square foot industrial 
building located in Hamilton Township, New Jersey for approximately $20.6 
million.  The property is net leased to one tenant through December 31, 2000.  
In addition, the Company had previously acquired 97 acres of adjacent land for 
approximately $2.8 million which allows for approximately 700,000 square feet 
of future development opportunities.  The acquisition was financed with 
proceeds from a draw under the credit facilities.

    In October 1997, the Company entered into an agreement to invest $150 
million in the Morris Companies, a New Jersey developer and owner of "Big Box' 
warehouse facilities.  The Morris Companies' properties include 23 industrial 
buildings encompassing approximately 4.0 million square feet.  The Company's 
investment will be used to acquire a controlling interest in Reckson Morris 
Operating Partnership, L.P. ("RMI").  In connection with the transaction the 
Morris Companies will contribute 100% of their interests in certain industrial 
properties to RMI in exchange for operating partnership units in RMI.  On 
January 6, 1998 the Company acquired an approximate 70% interest in RMI for 
approximately $65 million.  In addition, at March 31, 1998, the Company had 
advanced approximately $16.7 million to the Morris Companies primarily to fund 
certain construction costs related to development properties to be contributed 
to RMI.  The acquisition was financed with proceeds from a draw under the 
credit facilities.

    On January 6, 1998, the Company acquired two single story office buildings 
located in Uniondale, New York encompassing approximately 325,000 square feet 
for approximately $27.6 million.  One of these properties is net leased to a 
single tenant through May 31, 2007 and both properties are subject to ground

513,259 OP Units.

    On January 13, 1998, the Company acquired approximately two acres of 
vacant land in Hauppauge, New York which allows for approximately 30,000

    On February 2, 1998, the Company acquired approximately 20 acres of vacant 
land located in Washington Township, New Jersey for approximately $.53 
million.  The Company is currently in the process of developing a 265,000

completion of the facility.  As of March 31, 1998, the Company has incurred 
approximately $.78 million in development costs.

    On February 6, 1998 the Company completed its acquisition of a 351,000 
square foot office building located in Lake Success, New York for 
approximately $9.3 million.  The Company had previously acquired an

$25.7 million for a total acquisition of $35 million.  The acquisition was 
financed with proceeds from a draw under the credit facilities.

    On February 18, 1998, the Company acquired a 165,000 square foot vacant 
building located on the border of Melville and Farmingdale, New York and 
approximately five acres of adjacent land for approximately $2.9 million.  The 
Company is currently repositioning these properties which will allow for 
approximately an additional 53,000 square feet of future development 
opportunities.

    On February 25, 1998, the Company made an additional investment in RMI of

33.6 acres of vacant land located in Huntington Township, New York, which 
allows for approximately 495,000 square feet of future development 
opportunities for approximately $8.5 million (of which $6.4 million had been 
previously paid).

    On April 21, 1998, the Company acquired a portfolio of six office properties
encompassing approximately 980,000 square feet in Westchester County, New York 
from Cappelli Enterprises and affiliated entities ("Cappelli") for a purchase 
price of approximately $173 million.  The Cappelli acquisition includes a five
building, 850,000 square foot Class A office park in Valhalla and Court House 
Square, a 130,000 square foot Class A office building located in White Plains.
The Company also obtained an option from Cappelli to acquire the remaining 50% 
interest in 360 Hamilton Avenue, a 365,000 square foot vacant office tower in 
downtown White Plains for $10 million of which $4 million was paid at closing 
of the portfolio acquisition.  In addition, the Company received an option from
Cappelli to acquire the remaining development parcels within the Valhalla office
park on which up to 875,000 square feet of office space can be developed.  
During April 1998, the Company made mortgage loans to Cappelli totaling $18 
million which are secured by the development parcels.  The loans bear interest
at 10% per annum and mature on April 14, 1999.  This acquisition was financed in
part through proceeds from a draw under the credit facilities, the issuance of 
36,518 Preferred Units (Note 7), and the assumption of $45 million of mortgage
debt.

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 related notes thereto.

OVERVIEW AND BACKGROUND

    The Company is a self-administered and self managed real estate 
investment trust (REIT) specializing in the acquisition, leasing, financing, 
management and development of office and industrial properties.  The 
Company's growth strategy is focused on the suburban markets surrounding New 
York City.  Since completion of its initial public offering in May 1995, the 
Company has acquired or contracted to acquire approximately $1.3 billion of 
properties comprising approximately 17 million square feet of space.

    On February 18, 1998, the Company completed a common stock offering and 
sold 791,152 common shares at a price of $25.44 per share. Net proceeds from 
the offering of approximately $19.1 million were used to repay borrowings 
under the credit facilities.

    During April 1998, the Company completed a preferred stock offering and 
sold 9,200,000 shares (including 1,200,000 shares related to the exercise of 
the underwriters over allotment option) of 75/8%  Series A Convertible 
Cumulative Preferred Stock at a price of $25.00 per share.  The preferred 
stock is convertible to the Company's common stock at a conversion rate of 
 .8738 shares of common stock for each share of preferred stock.  Net 
proceeds from the offering were approximately $221 million and were used to 
repay borrowings under the credit facilities.

    On April 29, 1998, the Company completed a common stock offering and 
sold 1,093,744 common shares at a price of $24.38 per share.  Net proceeds 
from the offering were approximately $25.3 million and were used to repay 
borrowings under the credit facilities.

    At March 31, 1998, the Company's portfolio of real estate properties 
included 62 office buildings containing approximately 8.5 million square 
feet, 118 industrial buildings containing approximately 9.5 million square 
feet and two retail properties containing approximately 20,000 square feet.

    During the three months ended March 31,1998, the Company acquired six 
industrial properties encompassing approximately 940,000 square feet of 
space for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $35.0 million and 
four office properties encompassing approximately 926,000 square feet of 
space for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $129.6 million.

    In October 1997, the Company entered into an agreement to invest $150 
million in the Morris Companies, a New Jersey developer and owner of "Big 
Box" warehouse facilities.  The Morris Companies properties include 23 
industrial buildings encompassing approximately 4.0 million square feet.  As 
of March 31, 1998, the Company has invested approximately $72 million for an
approximate 73% controlling interest in Reckson Morris Operating 
Partnership, L.P. ("RMI").  In connection with the transaction the Morris
Companies contributed 100% of their interests in certain industrial 
properties to RMI in exchange for operating partnership units in RMI.

    On April 3, 1998, the Company completed its acquisition of approximately 
33.6 acres of vacant land located in Huntington Township, New York, which 
allows for approximately 495,000 square feet of future development 
opportunities for approximately $8.5 million (of which $6.4 million had been 
previously paid).

    On April 21, 1998, the Company acquired a portfolio of six office properties
encompassing approximately 980,000 square feet in Westchester County, New York 
from Cappelli Enterprises and affiliated entities ("Cappelli") for a purchase 
price of approximately $173 million.  The Cappelli acquisition includes a five
building, 850,000 square foot Class A office park in Valhalla and Court House 
Square, a 130,000 square foot Class A office building located in White Plains.
The Company also obtained an option from Cappelli to acquire the remaining 50% 
interest in 360 Hamilton Avenue, a 365,000 square foot vacant office tower in 
downtown White Plains for $10 million of which $4 million was paid at closing 
of the portfolio acquisition.  In addition, the Company received an option from
Cappelli to acquire the remaining development parcels within the Valhalla office
park on which up to 875,000 square feet of office space can be developed.
During April 1998, the Company made mortgage loans to Cappelli totaling $18
million which are secured by the development parcels.  The loans bear interest
at 10% per annum and mature on April 14, 1999.  This acquisition was financed in
part through proceeds from a draw under the credit facilities, the issuance of 
36,518 Preferred Units (Note 7), and the assumption of $45 million of mortgage
debt.

    The market capitalization of the Company, based on the market value at a 
stock price of $26.38 at March 31, 1998 on 38,867,815 issued and outstanding 
shares of Company common stock and 7,693,331 OP Units (assuming conversion 
to common stock) and the $712.5 million (including its share of joint 
venture debt and net of minority partners' interests) of debt outstanding at 
March 31, 1998 was approximately $1.94 billion.  As a result, the Company's 
total debt to total market capitalization ratio at March 31, 1998 equaled 
approximately 36.7%.

RESULTS  OF OPERATIONS

    The Company's total revenues increased by $23.4 million or 74% for the 
three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the 1997 period.  The 
growth in total revenues is substantially attributable to the Company's 
acquisition of 72 properties comprising approximately 9.3 million square 
feet.  Property operating revenues, which include base rents and tenant 
escalations and reimbursements ("Property Operating Revenues") increased by 
$23.3 million or 78% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared 
to the 1997 period.  The 1998 increase in Property Operating Revenues is 
comprised of $0.6 million attributable to increases in rental rates and 
changes in occupancies and $22.7 million attributable to acquisitions of 
properties. The remaining balance of the increase in total revenues in 1998 
is primarily attributable to interest income on the Company's investments in 
mortgage notes and notes receivable.  The increase for the three months 
ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the 1997 period was offset by a decrease 
in the equity in earnings of service companies as a result of the management 
and construction companies focusing most of their resources on the Company's 
core portfolio and redevelopment opportunities rather than third party 
services.  The Company's base rent was increased by the impact of the 
straight-line rent adjustment by $1.5 million for the three months ended 
March 31, 1998 as compared to $1.1 million for the 1997 period.

    Property operating expenses, real estate taxes and ground rents 
("Property Expenses") increased by $7.6 million for the three months ended 
March 31, 1998 as compared to the 1997 period.  These increases are 
primarily due to the acquisition of properties.  Gross operating margins 
(defined as Property Operating Revenues less Property Expenses, taken as a 
percentage of Property Operating Revenues) for 1998 and 1997 were 66.0% and 
64.7%, respectively.  The increases in gross operating margins reflects 
increases realized in rental rates, the Company's ability to realize certain 
operating efficiencies as a result of operating a larger portfolio of 
properties with concentrations of properties in office and industrial parks 
or in its established sub-markets, and increased ownership of net leased 
properties including the impact of the RMI properties.

    Marketing, general and administrative expenses increased by $1.5 million 
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the 1997 period.  
The increase is due to the increased costs of managing the acquisition 
properties, the costs of opening the Company's Northern New Jersey division, 
costs associated with the management of the RMI assets, and the increase in
corporate management and administrative costs associated with the growth of
the Company.  Marketing, general and administrative expenses as a percentage
of total revenues were 6.29% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 as 
compared to 6.25% for the 1997 period.

    Interest expense increased by $5.8 million for the three months ended 
March 31, 1998 as compared to the 1997 period.  The increase is attributable 
to an increase in mortgage debt including the refinancing of the Omni in the 
amount of $58 million in August 1997, the assumption of approximately $14.8 
million of mortgage indebtedness in connection with the Company's investment 
in RMI, increased cost attributable to an increased average balance on the 
Company's credit facilities and interest on the Company's $150 million of 
senior unsecured notes.  The weighted average balance outstanding on the 
Company's credit facilities was $297.5 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 as compared to $81.75 million for the 1997 period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    In June 1995, the Company completed an initial public offering of 
7,438,000 shares (pre-split) of its common stock at $24.25 per share (pre-
split).  Net proceeds to the Company were approximately $162 million.  
During 1996 and 1997 the Company completed four add-on offerings aggregating 
22,421,200 shares (split-adjusted) of its common stock (the "Add-on 
Offerings") resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $437 
million.  Proceeds from the Add-On Offerings were primarily used to repay 
borrowings under the credit facilities and to fund the purchase of 
commercial real estate properties.

    On January 6, 1998, the Operating Partnership issued 513,259 OP Units in 
connection with the acquisition of one office property.

    On February 18, 1998, the Company completed a common stock offering and 
sold 791,152 common shares at a price of $25.44 per share.  Net proceeds 
from the offering of approximately $19.1 million were used to repay 
borrowings under the credit facilities.

    During April 1998, the Company completed a preferred stock offering and 
sold 9,200,000 shares (including 1,200,000 shares related to the exercise of 
the underwriters over allotment option) of 75/8%  Series A Convertible 
Cumulative Preferred Stock at a price of $25.00 per share.  The preferred 
stock is convertible to the Company's common stock at a conversion rate of 
 .8738 shares of common stock for each share of preferred stock.  Net 
proceeds from the offering of approximately $221 million were used to repay 
borrowings under the credit facilities.

    On April 21, 1998, the Operating Partnership issued 25,000 Series B 
Preferred Units at  a stated value of $1,000 per unit and 11,518 Series C 
Preferred Units at a stated value of $1,000 per unit in connection with the 
acquisition of the Cappelli Portfolio. The Series B Preferred Units have a 
current coupon rate of 6.25% and are convertible to common units at a 
conversion premium of 30% for each preferred unit.  The Series C Preferred 
Units have a current coupon rate of 6.25% and are convertible to common 
units at a conversion premium of 17.5% for each preferred unit.

    On April 29, 1998, the Company completed a public stock offering and 
sold 1,093,744 common shares at a price of $24.38 per share.  Net proceeds 
from the offering of approximately $25.3 million were used to repay 
borrowings under the credit facilities.

    As of March 31, 1998, the Company had a three-year $250 million 
unsecured credit facility from a bank group led by Chase Manhattan Bank and 
Union Bank of Switzerland (the "Unsecured Credit Facility").  The Company's 
ability to borrow thereunder is subject to the satisfaction of certain 
financial covenants, including covenants relating to limitations on 
unsecured and secured borrowings, minimum interest and fixed charge coverage 
ratios, a minimum equity value and a maximum dividend payout ratio.  In 
additional, borrowings under the Unsecured Credit Facility bear interest at 
a floating rate equal to one, two, three or six month LIBOR (at the 
Company's election) plus a spread ranging from 1.125% to 1.50%, based on the 
Company's leverage ratio.  The Company utilizes the Unsecured Credit Facility
primarily to finance the acquisitions of properties and other real estate 
investments, fund its development activities and for working capital 
purposes.  At March 31, 1998, the Company had availability under the 
Unsecured Credit Facility to borrow an additional $8.1 million (net of $1.9
million of outstanding undrawn letters of credit).  In addition, the Company
obtained a $200 million unsecured credit facility (the "Bridge Facility") 
which matures on June 15, 1998.  The Bridge Facility was provided by the two
lead members of the Unsecured Credit Facility bank group and serves as
interim financing while the Company seeks to expand the availability under
the Unsecured Credit Facility.  At March 31, 1998, the Company had 
availability under the Bridge Facility to borrow an additional $55.25 
million.

    The Company's indebtedness at March 31, 1998 totaled $712.5 million 
(including its share of joint venture debt and net of the minority partners' 
interests) and was comprised of $240 million outstanding under the Unsecured 
Credit Facility, $144.8 million outstanding under the Bridge Facility, $150 
million of unsecured notes and approximately $177.7 million of mortgage 
indebtedness.  Based on the Company's total market capitalization of 
approximately $1.94 billion at March 31, 1998, (calculated at a $26.38 per 
share stock price) and assuming the conversion of the 7,693,331 OP Units 
outstanding on such date, the Company's debt represented approximately 36.7% 
of its total market capitalization.

    Historically, rental revenue has been the principal source of fund to 
pay operating expenses, debt service and capital expenditures, excluding 
non-recurring capital expenditures of the Company.  In addition, 
construction, management, maintenance, leasing and property management fees 
have provided sources of cash flow.  The Company expects to meet its short 
term liquidity requirements generally through its net cash provided by 
operating activities along with the Unsecured Credit Facility previously 
discussed.  The Company expects to meet certain of its financings 
requirements through long-term secured and unsecured borrowings and the 
issuance of debt securities and additional equity securities of the Company.  
The Company will refinance existing mortgage indebtedness or indebtedness 
under the Unsecured Credit Facility at maturity or retire such debt through 
the issuance of additional debt securities or additional equity securities.  
The Company anticipates that the current balance of cash and cash 
equivalents and cash flows from operating activities, together with cash 
available from borrowings and equity offerings, will be adequate to meet the 
capital and liquidity requirements of the Company in both the short and 
long-term.

    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.

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 Unsecured Credit Facility and the Bridge Facility bear 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. FFO 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.  FFO 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.  FFO 
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 real estate assets are no longer to be added back 
to net income to arrive at FFO.
	        Since all companies and analysts do not calculate FFO in a similar 
fashion, the Company's calculation of FFO presented herein may not be 
comparable to similarly titled measures as reported by other companies.

    The following table presents the Company's FFO calculation (in thousands, 
except per share/unit data):
