VORNADO REALTY L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

1.     Organization

        Vornado Realty L.P. (the "Operating Partnership" and/or the "Company") is a Delaware limited partnership. Vornado Realty Trust ("Vornado"), a fully-integrated real estate investment trust ("REIT"), is the sole general partner of, and owned approximately 86.6% of the limited partnership interest in, the Operating Partnership at June 30, 2004. All references to "We," "Us," and "Company" refer to the Operating Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries.

2.     Basis of Presentation

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flows have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Vornado Realty L.P. as well as entities in which the Company owns (i) more than 50% unless a partner has shared board and management representation and authority and substantive participation rights on all significant business decisions or (ii) 50% or less when the Company is considered the primary beneficiary and the entity qualifies as a variable interest entity under FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised)—Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities ("FIN 46R"), which became effective on March 31, 2004. All significant intercompany amounts have been eliminated. Equity interests in partially-owned corporate entities are accounted for under the equity method of accounting when the Company's ownership interest is more than 20% but less than 50%. When partially-owned investments are in partnership form, the 20% threshold for equity method accounting may be reduced. Investments accounted for under the equity method are recorded initially at cost and subsequently adjusted for the Company's share of the net income or loss and cash contributions and distributions to or from these entities. For all other investments, the Company uses the cost method.

        Management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

        Certain prior year balances have been reclassified in order to conform to current year presentation.

6


3.     Recently Issued Accounting Standards

        FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised)—Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities ("FIN 46R")

        In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46, as amended in December 2003 by FIN 46R, which deferred the effective date until the first interim or annual reporting period ending after March 15, 2004. FIN 46R requires the consolidation of an entity by an enterprise known as a "primary beneficiary," (i) if that enterprise has a variable interest that will absorb a majority of the entity's expected losses, if they occur, receive a majority of the entity's expected residual returns, if they occur, or both and (ii) if the entity is a variable interest entity ("VIE"), as defined. An entity qualifies as a VIE if (i) the total equity investment at risk in the entity is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties or (ii) the equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest in the entity. The initial determination of whether an entity is a VIE shall be made as of the date at which an enterprise becomes involved with the entity and re-evaluated as of the date of triggering events, as defined. The Company has evaluated each partially-owned entity to determine whether any qualify as a VIE, and if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, as defined. The Company has determined that its investment in Newkirk Master Limited Partnership ("Newkirk MLP"), in which it owns a 22.3% equity interest (see Note 5—Investments and Advances to Partially- Owned Entities), qualifies as a VIE. However, the Company has also determined that it is not the primary beneficiary and accordingly, consolidation is not required. The Company's maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement in Newkirk MLP is limited to its equity investment of approximately $150,468,000, as of June 30, 2004. In addition, the Company has variable interests in certain other entities which are primarily financing arrangements. The Company has evaluated these entities in accordance with FIN 46R and has determined that they are not VIEs. Based on the Company's evaluations, the adoption of FIN 46R on March 31, 2004 did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

4.     Acquisitions, Dispositions and Financings

    Acquisitions

        On February 3, 2004, the Company acquired the Forest Plaza Shopping Center for approximately $32,500,000, of which $14,000,000 was paid in cash and $18,500,000 was debt assumed. The purchase was funded as part of a Section 1031 tax-free "like-kind" exchange with the remaining portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Company's Two Park Avenue property. Forest Plaza is a 165,000 square foot shopping center located in Staten Island, New York, anchored by a Waldbaum's supermarket. The operations of Forest Plaza are consolidated into the accounts of the Company from the date of acquisition.

        On March 19, 2004, the Company acquired a 62,000 square foot freestanding retail building located at 25 W. 14th Street in Manhattan for $40,000,000 in cash. The operations of 25 W. 14th Street are consolidated into the accounts of the Company from the date of acquisition.

        On July 1, 2004, the Company acquired the Marriott hotel located in its Crystal City office complex from a limited partnership in which Robert H. Smith and Robert P. Kogod, trustees of the Company, together with family members own approximately 67 percent. The purchase price was $21,500,000 paid in cash. The hotel contains 343 rooms and is leased to an affiliate of Marriott International, Inc. until July 31, 2015, with one 10-year extension option. The land under the hotel was acquired in 1999. The operations of the hotel will be consolidated into the accounts of the Company from the date of acquisition.

        On July 29, 2004, the Company acquired a real estate portfolio containing 25 supermarkets for $65,000,000. These properties, all of which are all located in Southern California and contain an aggregate of approximately 766,000 square feet, were purchased from the Newkirk MLP, in which the Company currently owns a 22.3% interest. The supermarkets are net leased to Stater Brothers for an initial term expiring in 2008, with six 5-year extension options. Stater Brothers is a Southern California regional grocery chain that operates 158 supermarkets and has been in business since 1936. The operations of this portfolio will be consolidated into the accounts of the Company from the date of acquisition. The Company's share of any gain recognized by Newkirk MLP on this transaction will be reflected as an adjustment to the Company's basis in its investment in Newkirk MLP and will not be recorded as income.

        On July 28, 2004, the Company agreed to make a $159,000,000 convertible preferred investment in GMH Communities L.P. ("GMH"), a partnership focused on the student and military housing sectors run by an experienced operating management team led by Gary M. Holloway. The Company has funded $72,000,000 of the investment and is expected to fund the balance by the end of the year. The Company can convert up to $100,000,000 of its investment into up to 34% of GMH's common equity.

        The acquisitions of 25 West 14th Street, the Crystal City Marriott and the Stater Brothers real estate portfolio were or will be funded as part of a Section 1031 tax-free "like-kind" exchange with a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Company's Palisades Residential Complex (see Dispositions below).

8


    Dispositions

        On January 9, 2003, the Company sold its Baltimore, Maryland shopping center for $4,752,000, which resulted in a net gain on sale after closing costs of $2,644,000.

        On June 29, 2004, the Company sold its Palisades Residential Complex for $222,500,000, which resulted in a gain on sale after closing costs of $65,905,000. All or a portion of the proceeds from the sale will be reinvested pursuant to Section 1031 tax-free "like kind" exchanges, including certain of the acquisitions described above. On February 27, 2004, the Company had acquired the remaining 25% interest in the Palisades venture it did not previously own for approximately $17,000,000.

        The Company recognized gains of $776,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2004 and gains of $94,000 and $282,000 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 from the sale of certain partially-owned properties.

    Temperature Controlled Logistics

        Based on the joint venture's policy of recognizing rental income when earned and collection is assured or cash is received, the Company did not recognize $9,651,000 and $16,116,000 of rent it was due for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and $7,726,000 and $11,103,000 of rent it was due for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, which together with previously deferred rent is $65,552,000.

        On February 5, 2004, AmeriCold Realty Trust completed a $254,400,000 mortgage financing for 21 of its owned and 7 of its leased temperature-controlled warehouses. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.95% (with a LIBOR floor of 1.5% with respect to $54,400,000 of the loan) and requires principal payments of $5,000,000 annually. The loan matures in April 2009 and is pre-payable without penalty after April 9, 2006. The net proceeds were approximately $225,000,000 after providing for usual escrows, closing costs and the repayment of $12,900,000 of existing mortgages on two of the warehouses, of which $135,000,000 was distributed to the Company and the remainder was distributed to its partner.

        On January 20, and March 29, 2004, a joint venture in which the Company has a 44% interest acquired an aggregate of $10,200,000 of trade receivables from AmeriCold Logistics for $10,000,000 in cash. These receivables have been subsequently collected in full. On July 2, 2004, the joint venture acquired an additional $6,120,000 of trade receivables for $6,000,000 in cash.

    Alexander's

        The Company owns 33% of the outstanding common stock of Alexander's at June 30, 2004. Alexander's is managed, and its properties are leased and developed, by the Company. In addition, Building Maintenance Services ("BMS"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, supervises the cleaning, engineering and security at 731 Lexington Avenue for a fee of 6% of Alexander's costs for such services. On May 27, 2004, the Company entered into a further agreement with Alexander's under which the Company provides property management services to Alexander's for an annual fee of $0.50 per square foot of tenant-occupied office and retail space at 731 Lexington Avenue. The agreements covering all of the above expire in March of each year and are automatically renewable, except for the 731 Lexington Avenue development agreement which provides for a term lasting until substantial completion of the development of the property.

        As of June 30, 2004, the Company had a receivable from Alexander's of $45,345,000 under the agreements discussed above. In addition, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, Alexander's paid $62,000 and $555,000, respectively, to BMS for cleaning and engineering services at Alexander's Lexington Avenue project.

        Effective April 1, 2004, based on Alexander's improved liquidity, the Company modified its term loan and line of credit to Alexander's to reduce the spread on the interest rate it charges from 9.48% to 6%. Accordingly, the current interest rate was reduced to 9% from 12.48%.

12


        On February 13, 2004, Alexander's completed a $400,000,000 mortgage financing on the office space of its Lexington Avenue development project which was placed by German American Capital Corporation, an affiliate of Deutsche Bank. The loan bears interest at 5.33%, matures in February 2014 and beginning in the third year, provides for principal payments based on a 25-year amortization schedule such that over the remaining eight years of the loan, ten years of amortization will be paid. $253,529,000 of the loan proceeds was used to repay the entire amount outstanding under the construction loan with Hypo Real Estate Capital Corporation ("the Construction Loan"). The Construction Loan was modified so that the remaining availability is $237,000,000, which was approximately the amount estimated to complete the Lexington Avenue development project. The interest rate on the Construction Loan is LIBOR plus 2.5% (3.82% at June 30, 2004) and matures in January 2006, with two one-year extensions. The collateral for the Construction Loan is the same except that the office space has been removed from the lien. Further, the Construction Loan, permits the release of the retail space for $15,000,000 and requires all proceeds from the sale of the residential condominiums units to be applied to the Construction Loan balance until it is fully repaid. In connection with reducing the principal amount of the Construction Loan, Alexander's wrote-off $3,050,000 of unamortized deferred financing costs in the first quarter of 2004, of which the Company's share was $1,010,000.

        Equity in income from Alexander's includes Alexander's stock appreciation rights compensation expense of which the Company's share was $2,171,000 and $12,084,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, based on a closing Alexander's stock price of $167.74 on June 30, 2004. The three and six months ended June 30, 2003 include the Company's $3,285,000 share of Alexander's stock appreciation rights compensation expense based on a closing Alexander's stock price of $83.49 on June 30, 2003.

6.     Notes and Mortgage Loans Receivable

        On March 1, 2004, the Company's note receivable of $38,500,000 from Commonwealth Atlantic Properties was repaid.

        On May 12, 2004, the Company made an $83,000,000 mezzanine loan secured by ownership interests in a subsidiary of Extended Stay America, Inc., which was recently acquired for approximately $3.1 billion by an affiliate of the Blackstone Group. The loan is part of a $166,000,000 facility, the balance of which was funded by Soros Credit LP, and is subordinate to $2.3 billion of other debt. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 5.50% and matures in May 2007, with two one-year extensions. Extended Stay America owns and operates 485 hotels in 42 states.

        On June 1, 2004, the Company acquired Verde Group LLC ("Verde") convertible subordinated debentures for $14,350,000 in cash, bringing its total investment in Verde at June 30, 2004 to $16,850,000 (of a $25,000,000 commitment). Verde invests, operates and develops residential communities on the Texas-Mexico border.

        On June 1, 2004, the Company invested $5,000,000 in a senior mezzanine loan, and $3,050,000 in senior preferred equity of 3700 Associates, LLC which owns 3700 Las Vegas Boulevard, a development land parcel located in Las Vegas, Nevada.

13.   Commitments and Contingencies

        At June 30, 2004, the Company utilized $17,349,000 of availability under its revolving credit facility for letters of credit and guarantees.

        Each of the Company's properties has been subjected to varying degrees of environmental assessment at various times. The environmental assessments did not reveal any material environmental contamination. However, there can be no assurance that the identification of new areas of contamination, changes in the extent or known scope of contamination, the discovery of additional sites, or changes in cleanup requirements would not result in significant costs to the Company.

        The Company carries comprehensive liability and all risk property insurance ((i) fire, (ii) flood, (iii) extended coverage, (iv) "acts of terrorism" as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 which expires in 2005 and (v) rental loss insurance) with respect to its assets. In April 2004, the Company renewed its all risk policies and increased its coverage for Acts of Terrorism for each of its New York Office, CESCR Office and Merchandise Mart divisions. Below is a summary of the current all risk property insurance and terrorism risk insurance for each of the Company's business segments:

 
  Coverage Per Occurrence
 
  All Risk (1)
  Sub-Limits for
Acts of Terrorism

New York Office   $ 1,400,000,000   $ 750,000,000
CESCR Office     1,400,000,000     750,000,000
Retail     500,000,000     500,000,000
Merchandise Mart     1,400,000,000     750,000,000
Temperature Controlled Logistics     225,000,000     225,000,000

(1)
Limited as to terrorism insurance by the sub-limit shown in the adjacent column.

        In addition to the coverage above, the Company carries lesser amounts of coverage for terrorist acts not covered by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002.

        The Company's debt instruments, consisting of mortgage loans secured by its properties (which are generally non-recourse to the Company), its senior unsecured notes due 2007 and 2010 and its revolving credit agreement, contain customary covenants requiring the Company to maintain insurance. Although the Company believes that it has adequate insurance coverage under these agreements, the Company may not be able to obtain an equivalent amount of coverage at reasonable costs in the future. Further, if lenders insist on greater coverage than the Company is able to obtain, it could adversely affect the Company's ability to finance and/or refinance its properties and expand its portfolio.

        From time to time, the Company has disposed of substantial amounts of real estate to third parties for which, as to certain properties, it remains contingently liable for rent payments or mortgage indebtedness that cannot be quantified by the Company.

        There are various legal actions against the Company in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such matters will not have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.

14.   Stock-Based Compensation

        Prior to 2003, the Company accounted for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method (i.e. the difference between the price per unit at the grant date and the option exercise price). Accordingly, no stock-based compensation was recognized in the Company's consolidated financial statements for plan awards granted prior to 2003. If compensation cost for plan awards granted prior to 2003 had been determined based on fair value at the grant dates, net income and income per Class A unit would have been reduced to the pro-forma amounts below:

16.   Related Party Transactions

        On March 11, 2004, the Company loaned $2,000,000 to Melvyn Blum, an executive officer of the Company, pursuant to the revolving credit facility contained in his January 2000 employment agreement. The loan bears interest at 1.57% per annum (the Federal rate) and is due on March 10, 2007.

        On July 1, 2004, the Company acquired the Marriott hotel located in its Crystal City office complex from a limited partnership in which Robert H. Smith and Robert P. Kogod, trustees of the Company, together with family members own approximately 67 percent. The purchase price was $21,500,000. In addition, on July 1, 2004, the partnership paid the Company $2,943,000, in accordance with the ground lease under which it leased the land from the Company. The Company had previously recognized this amount as income over the initial term of the ground lease.

        Notes to segment information:

      (1)
      EBITDA represents "Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization." Management considers EBITDA a supplemental measure for making decisions and assessing the performance of its segments. EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for net income. EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

      (2)
      Interest and debt expense and depreciation and amortization included in the reconciliation of net income to EBITDA reflects the Company's share of the interest and debt expense and depreciation and amortization of its partially-owned entities.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Partners
Vornado Realty L.P.
New York, New York

        We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Vornado Realty L.P. as of June 30, 2004, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

        We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

        Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

        We have previously audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Vornado Realty L.P. as of December 31, 2003, and the related consolidated statements of income, partners' capital, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 12, 2004, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements and included an explanatory paragraph relating to the Company's adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" and application of the provisions of SFAS No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2003 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

        Certain statements contained herein constitute forward-looking statements as such term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our future results, financial condition and business may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. You can find many of these statements by looking for words such as "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "will," "would," "may" or similar expressions in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Many of the factors that will determine these items are beyond our ability to control or predict. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 under "Forward Looking Statements" and "Item 1. Business—Certain Factors That May Adversely Affect the Company's Business and Operations." For these statements, the Company claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on forward-looking statements, which are based on results and trends at the time they are made, to anticipate future results or trends.

        Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations includes a discussion of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

27


Overview

        The Company owns and operates office, retail and showroom properties with large concentrations of office and retail properties in the New York City metropolitan area and in the Washington, DC and Northern Virginia area. In addition, the Company has a 60% interest in a partnership that owns cold storage warehouses nationwide.

        The Company's business objective is to maximize Vornado Realty Trust's shareholder value. The Company measures its success in meeting this objective by Vornado Realty Trust's total return to its shareholders. Below is a table comparing Vornado's performance to the Morgan Stanley REIT Index ("RMS") for the following periods ending June 30, 2004:

 
  Total Return(1)
 
 
  Vornado
  RMS
 
Three-months   (4.3 %) (6.1 %)
One-year   39.2 % 26.3 %
Three-years   78.4 % 52.4 %
Five-years   120.7 % 94.6 %
Ten-years   460.9 % 207.8 %(2)

(1)
Past performance is not necessarily indicative of how the Company will perform in the future.

(2)
From inception on July 25, 1995

        The Company intends to continue to achieve its business objective by pursuing its investment philosophy and executing its operating strategies through:

    Maintaining a superior team of operating and investment professionals and an entrepreneurial spirit;

    Investing in properties in select markets, such as New York City and Washington, DC, where we believe there is high likelihood of capital appreciation;

    Acquiring quality properties at a discount to replacement cost and where there is a significant potential for higher rents;

    Investing in retail properties in select under-stored locations such as the New York City metropolitan area;

    Developing/redeveloping the Company's existing properties to increase returns and maximize value.

        The Company competes with a large number of real estate property owners and developers. Principal factors of competition are rent charged, attractiveness of location and quality and breadth of services provided. The Company's success depends upon, among other factors, trends of the national and local economies, financial condition and operating results of current and prospective tenants and customers, availability and cost of capital, construction and renovation costs, taxes, governmental regulations, legislation and population trends. The current economic recovery is fostered, in part, by low interest rates, Federal tax cuts, and increases in government spending. To the extent this recovery stalls, the Company may experience lower occupancy rates which may lead to lower initial rental rates, higher leasing costs and a corresponding decrease in net income, funds from operations and cash flow. Alternatively, if the recovery continues, the Company may experience higher occupancy rates leading to higher initial rents and higher interest rates causing an increase in the Company's weighted average cost of capital and a corresponding effect on net income and cash flow.

Leasing Activity

        The following table sets forth certain information for the properties the Company owns directly or indirectly, including leasing activity. Tenant improvements and leasing commissions presented below are based on square feet leased during the period and on a per annum basis based on the weighted average term of the leases.

(1)
Due to lower cash rents received in the current quarter from the tenant (AmeriCold Logistics). The tenant has reported that (i) its revenue for the current quarter ended June 30, 2004 from the warehouses it leases from the Landlord is higher than last year by 0.1%, and (ii) its gross margin before rent at these warehouses for the corresponding period is lower than last year by $1,945 (a 5.3% decrease). This decrease in gross margin is attributable to (i) start up costs for existing customers at new locations and (ii) a change in revenue mix as higher margin storage revenues declined and lower margin handling revenues increased. In addition, the tenant had higher general and administrative expenses and lower other income.

(2)
The three months ended June 30, 2004 includes $519 for the Company's share of gains on sale of real estate and $2,142 for the Company's share of an impairment loss on one of Newkirk MLP's assets. The three months ended June 30, 2003 includes $1,900 for the Company's share of gains on sale of real estate.

(3)
Interest and other income for the three months ended June 30, 2004, includes a gain of $7,494, resulting from the exercise of an option by the Company's joint venture partner to acquire certain MLP units held by the Company. The MLP units subject to this option had been issued to the Company on behalf of the Company's joint venture partner in exchange for the Company's operating partnership units as part of the tender offers to acquire certain of the units of the MLP in 1998 and 1999.

(4)
Reflects $3,833 for the Company's share of an impairment loss on one of the Starwood Ceruzzi joint venture's properties in the three months ended June 30, 2004 and $2,271 for the Company's share of income from the settlement of a bankruptcy claim in the three months ended June 30, 2003.

(5)
Includes $4,756 for the Company's share of Prime Group Realty L.P.'s equity in net income of which $4,413 was for the Company's share of Prime Group's lease termination fee income. On May 23, 2003, the Company exchanged the units it owned for common shares and no longer accounts for its investment in the partnership on the equity method.

Interest and Other Investment Income

        Interest and other investment income (interest income on mortgage loans receivable, other interest income and dividend income) was $9,609,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, compared to $3,628,000 in the prior year's quarter, an increase of $5,981,000. This increase resulted primarily from interest income of $6,051,000 recognized on the $225,000,000 GM Building mezzanine loans made by the Company in the fourth quarter of 2003.

Interest and Debt Expense

        Interest and debt expense was $57,121,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $57,637,000 in the prior year's quarter, a decrease of $516,000. This decrease resulted primarily from an increase in capitalized interest on development projects, partially offset by higher average outstanding debt balances.

Net Loss on Disposition of Wholly-owned and Partially-owned Assets other than Real Estate

        Net loss on disposition of wholly-owned and partially-owned assets other than depreciable real estate of $1,294,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 includes a $1,388,000 loss on settlement of guarantees of the Primestone loans, partially offset by a $94,000 net gain on sale of condominiums.

Discontinued Operations

        Assets related to discontinued operations at June 30, 2004, consist primarily of real estate, net of accumulated depreciation and represent the Company's retail properties located in Vineland, New Jersey, and Baltimore (Dundalk), Maryland. At December 31, 2003, the assets related to discontinued operations consist primarily of real estate, net of accumulated depreciation, related to the Palisades and liabilities related to discontinued operations represent the Palisades mortgage payable of $120,000,000.

        The combined results of discontinued operations in the following table include the operating results from assets held for sale above, as well as (i) Palisades Residential Complex, sold on June 29, 2004, (ii) Two Park Avenue office property, sold on October 10, 2003, and (iii) Baltimore and Hagerstown, Maryland retail properties, sold on January 9, 2003 and November 3, 2003.

(3)
The Company reflects its 60% share of Vornado Crescent Portland Partnership's (the "Landlord") rental income it receives from AmeriCold Logistics, its tenant, which leases the underlying temperature controlled warehouses used in its business. The Company's joint venture does not recognize rental income unless earned and collection is assured or cash is received. The Company did not recognize $9,651 of rent it was due for the three months ended June 30, 2004, which together with previously deferred rent is $65,552. The tenant has advised the Landlord that (i) its revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 from the warehouses it leases from the Landlord is higher than last year by 0.1% and (ii) its gross margin before rent at these warehouses for the corresponding period is lower than last year by $1,945 (a 5.3% decrease). This decrease in gross margin is attributable to (i) start up costs for existing customers at new locations and (ii) a change in revenue mix as higher margin storage revenues declined and lower margin handling revenues increased. In addition, the tenant had higher general and administrative expenses and lower other income.

(1)
Results primarily from an increase in utilities and real estate taxes, of which $3,064 relates to the New York City Office portfolio and $2,500 relates to the CESCR portfolio, partially offset by a decrease in New York City Office bad debt expense.

(2)
Results primarily from a net decrease in the allowance for bad debts due to recoveries in 2004.

(3)
Primarily due to additions to buildings and improvements during 2003.

(4)
Of this increase (i) $1,200 results from higher payroll and fringe benefits, (ii) $1,492 results from higher professional fees and (iii) $684 results from severance primarily in connection with exiting the Washington, DC third-party tenant representation business.

Income Applicable to Alexander's

        Equity in net income applicable to Alexander's (loan interest income, management, leasing, development and commitment fees, and equity in income) was $3,250,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to income of $11,602,000 in the prior year's six months, a decrease of $8,352,000. This decrease resulted from an increase in the Company's share of Alexander's stock appreciation rights compensation expense of $8,799,000 and the Company's $1,010,000 share of Alexander's loss on early extinguishment of debt in the six months ended June 30, 2004, partially offset by income from the commencement of leases with Bloomberg on November 15, 2003 and other tenants in May and June 2004 at Alexander's 731 Lexington Avenue property.

(1)
The tenant has reported that (i) its revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from the warehouses it leases from the Landlord is lower than last year by 0.1%, and (ii) its gross margin before rent at these warehouses for the corresponding period is lower than last year by $4,385 (a 5.8% decrease). This decrease in gross margin is attributable to (i) start up costs for existing customers at new locations and (ii) a change in revenue mix as higher margin storage revenues declined and lower margin handling revenues increased. In addition, the tenant had higher general and administrative expenses and lower other income.

(2)
Equity in income for the six months ended June 30, 2004, includes the Company's $2,436 share of gains on sale of real estate and the Company's $2,142 share of an impairment loss recorded by the MLP. Interest and other income for the six months ended June 30, 2004, includes a gain of $7,494, resulting from the exercise of an option by the Company's joint venture partner to acquire certain MLP units held by the Company. The MLP units subject to this option had been issued to the Company on behalf of the Company's joint venture partner in exchange for the Company's operating partnership units as part of the tender offers to acquire certain of the units of the MLP in 1998 and 1999. Equity in income for the six months ended June 30, 2003, includes the Company's $8,000 share of gains on sale of real estate and early extinguishment of debt.

(3)
Equity in income for the six months ended June 30, 2004 includes the Company's $3,833 share of an impairment loss. Equity in income for the six months ended June 30, 2003 includes the Company's $2,271 share of income from the settlement of a tenant bankruptcy claim, partially offset by the Company's $876 share of a net loss on disposition of leasehold improvements.

(4)
Includes $5,583 for the Company's share of Prime Group Realty L.P.'s equity in net income of which $4,413 was for the Company's share of Prime Group's lease termination fee income. On May 23, 2003, the Company exchanged the units it owned for common shares and no longer accounts for its investment in the partnership on the equity method.

Interest and Other Investment Income

        Interest and other investment income (interest income on mortgage loans receivable, other interest income and dividend income) was $18,854,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $13,424,000 in the prior year's six months, an increase of $5,430,000. This increase resulted primarily from interest income of $12,102,000 recognized on the $225,000,000 GM Building mezzanine loans made by the Company in the fourth quarter of 2003, partially offset by $6,284,000 of interest received in the first quarter of 2003 in connection with the Dearborn Center loan receivable repayment (of which $5,655,000 was contingent interest income).

Interest and Debt Expense

        Interest and debt expense was $115,826,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $114,537,000 in the prior year's six months, an increase of $1,289,000. This increase resulted primarily from higher average outstanding debt during the six months ended June 30, 2004, partially offset by an increase in capitalized interest on development projects in 2004.

Net Gain (Loss) on Disposition of Wholly-owned and Partially-owned Assets other than Real Estate

        Net gain on disposition of wholly-owned and partially-owned assets other than depreciable real estate for the six months ended June 30, 2004 reflects the Company's $776,000 share of gains on disposition of certain partially-owned development assets. Net loss on disposition of wholly-owned and partially-owned assets other than depreciable real estate for the six months ended June 30, 2003 includes (i) a $1,388,000 loss on settlement of the guarantees of the Primestone Loans, partially offset by gains on the sale of condominiums of $282,000.

Discontinued Operations

        Assets related to discontinued operations at June 30, 2004, consist primarily of real estate, net of accumulated depreciation and represent the Company's retail properties located in Vineland, New Jersey, and Baltimore (Dundalk), Maryland. At December 31, 2003, the assets related to discontinued operations consist primarily of real estate, net of accumulated depreciation, related to the Palisades and liabilities related to discontinued operations represent the Palisades mortgage payable of $120,000,000 at December 31, 2003.

        The combined results of discontinued operations in the following table include the operating results from the assets held for sale above, as well as (i) Palisades Residential Complex, sold on June 29, 2004, (ii) Two Park Avenue office property, sold on October 10, 2003, and (iii) Baltimore and Hagerstown, Maryland retail properties, sold on January 9, 2003 and November 3, 2003.

(3)
The Company reflects its 60% share of Vornado Crescent Portland Partnership's (the "Landlord") rental income it receives from AmeriCold Logistics, its tenant, which leases the underlying temperature controlled warehouses used in its business. The Company's joint venture does not recognize rental income unless earned and collection is assured or cash is received. The Company did not recognize $16,116 of rent it was due for the six months ended June 30, 2004, which together with previously deferred rent is $65,552. The tenant has advised the Landlord that (i) its revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from the warehouses it leases from the Landlord is lower than last year by 0.1% and (ii) its gross margin before rent at these warehouses for the corresponding period is lower than last year by $4,385 (a 5.8% decrease). This decrease in gross margin is attributable to (i) start up costs for existing customers at new locations and (ii) a change in revenue mix as higher margin storage revenues declined and lower margin handling revenues increased. In addition, the tenant had higher general and administrative expenses and lower other income.

    Acquisitions

        On February 3, 2004, the Company acquired the Forest Plaza Shopping Center for approximately $32,500,000, of which $14,000,000 was paid in cash and $18,500,000 was debt assumed. The purchase was funded as part of a Section 1031 tax-free "like-kind" exchange with the remaining portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Company's Two Park Avenue property. Forest Plaza is a 165,000 square foot shopping center located in Staten Island, New York, anchored by a Waldbaum's supermarket.

        On March 19, 2004, the Company acquired a 62,000 square foot free-standing retail building located at 25 W. 14th Street in Manhattan for $40,000,000 in cash.

        On July 1, 2004, the Company acquired the Marriott hotel located in its Crystal City office complex from a limited partnership in which Robert H. Smith and Robert P. Kogod, trustees of the Company, together with family members own approximately 67 percent. The purchase price was $21,500,000 paid in cash. The hotel contains 343 rooms and is leased to an affiliate of Marriott International, Inc. until July 31, 2015, with one 10-year extension option. The land under the hotel was acquired in 1999.

        On July 29, 2004 the Company acquired a real estate portfolio containing 25 supermarkets for $65,000,000. These properties, all of which are all located in southern California and contain an aggregate of approximately 766,000 square feet, were purchased from the Newkirk MLP, in which the Company currently owns a 22.3% interest. The supermarkets are net leased to Stater Brothers for an initial term expiring in 2008, with six 5-year extension options. Stater Brothers is a southern California regional grocery chain that operates 158 supermarkets and has been in business since 1936. The Company's share of any gain recognized by Newkirk MLP on this transaction will be reflected as an adjustment to the Company's basis in its investment in Newkirk MLP and will not be recorded as income.

        On July 28, 2004, the Company agreed to make a $159,000,000 convertible preferred investment in GMH Communities L.P. ("GMH"), a partnership focused on the student and military housing sectors run by an experienced operating management team led by Gary M. Holloway. The Company has funded $72,000,000 of the investment and is expected to fund the balance by the end of the year. The Company can convert up to $100,000,000 of its investment into up to 34% of GMH's common equity.

        The acquisitions of 25 West 14th Street, the Crystal City Marriott and the Stater Brothers real estate portfolio were or will be funded as part of a Section 1031 tax-free "like-kind" exchange with a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Company's Palisades Residential Complex (see Dispositions below).

    Dispositions

        On January 9, 2003, the Company sold its Baltimore, Maryland shopping center for $4,752,000, which resulted in a net gain on sale after closing costs of $2,644,000.

        On June 29, 2004, the Company sold its Palisades Residential Complex for $222,500,000, which resulted in a gain on sale after closing costs of $65,905,000. All or a portion of the proceeds from the sale will be reinvested pursuant to Section 1031 tax-free "like kind" exchanges, including certain of the acquisitions described above. On February 27, 2004, the Company had acquired the remaining 25% interest in the Palisades venture it did not previously own for approximately $17,000,000.

        The Company recognized gains of $776,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2004 and gains of $94,000 and $282,000 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 from the sale of certain partially owned properties.

        The three and six months ended June 30, 2003 includes the Company's $1,388,000 share of loss on settlement of guarantees with affiliates of Primestone Investment Partners.

51


    Financings

        On January 6, 2004, the Company redeemed all of its 8.375% Series D-2 Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units at a redemption price equal to $50.00 per unit for an aggregate of $27,500,000 plus accrued distributions. The redemption amount exceeded the carrying amount by $700,000, representing the original issuance costs. Upon redemption, these issuance costs were recorded as a reduction to earnings in arriving at net income applicable to Class A units, in accordance with the July 2003 EITF clarification of Topic D-42.

        On March 17, 2004, the Company redeemed all of its Series B Preferred units at a redemption price equal to $25.00 per unit for an aggregate of $85,000,000 plus accrued dividends. The redemption amount exceeded the carrying amount by $3,195,000, representing the original issuance costs. Upon redemption, these issuance costs were recorded as a reduction to earnings in arriving at net income applicable to Class A units, in accordance with the July 2003 EITF clarification of Topic D-42.

        On May 27, 2004, the Company sold $35,000,000 of 7.2% Series D-11 Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units to an institutional investor in a private placement. These perpetual preferred units may be called without penalty at the Company's option commencing in May 2009.

        For details of the Company's financing activities see "Note 8—Notes and Mortgages Payable" in the notes to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

        The Company anticipates that cash from continuing operations will be adequate to fund business operations and the payment of dividends and distributions on an on-going basis for more than the next twelve months; however, capital outlays for significant acquisitions would require funding from borrowings or equity offerings.

52


Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks

        The Company has exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates. Market interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond the control of the Company. Various financial instruments exist which would allow management to mitigate the impact of interest rate fluctuations on the Company's cash flows and earnings.

        As of June 30, 2004, the Company has an interest rate swap as described in footnote 1 to the table below. In addition, during 2003 the Company purchased two interest rate caps with notional amounts aggregating $295,000,000, and simultaneously sold two interest rate caps with the same aggregate notional amount on substantially the same terms as the caps purchased. As the significant terms of these arrangements are the same, the effects of a revaluation of these instruments are expected to substantially offset one another. Management may engage in additional hedging strategies in the future, depending on management's analysis of the interest rate environment and the costs and risks of such strategies.

        The Company's exposure to a change in interest rates on its wholly-owned and partially-owned debt (all of which arises out of non-trading activity) is as follows:

(1)
Includes $512,960 for the Company's senior unsecured notes due 2007, as the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements that effectively converted the interest rate from a fixed rate of 5.625% to a floating rate of LIBOR plus .7725%, based upon the trailing three month LIBOR rate (2.13% if set on June 30, 2004). In accordance with SFAS No. 133, as amended, the Company is required to fair value the debt at each reporting period. At June 30, 2004, the fair value adjustment was $13,389 and is included in the balance of the senior unsecured notes above.

        The fair value of the Company's debt, based on discounted cash flows at the current rate at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings for the remaining term of such debt, exceeds the aggregate carrying amount by approximately $118,018,000 at June 30, 2004.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

        Disclosure Controls and Procedures: The management of Vornado (the Company's sole general partner), with the participation of Vornado's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, Vornado's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

        Internal Control Over Financial Reporting: There have not been any changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

        The Company is from time to time involved in legal actions arising in the ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such matters, including the matters referred to below, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        The following updates the discussion set forth under "Item 3. Legal Proceedings" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

Stop & Shop

        As previously disclosed, on January 8, 2003, Stop & Shop filed a complaint with the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey ("USDC-NJ") claiming the Company has no right to reallocate and therefore continue to collect the $5,000,000 of annual rent from Stop & Shop pursuant to the Master Agreement and Guaranty, because of the expiration of the East Brunswick, Jersey City, Middletown, Union and Woodbridge leases to which the $5,000,000 of additional rent was previously allocated. Stop & Shop asserted that a prior order of the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York dated February 6, 2001, as modified on appeal to the District Court for the Southern District of New York on February 13, 2001, terminated the Company's right to reallocate. On March 3, 2003, after the Company moved to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction, Stop & Shop voluntarily withdrew its complaint.

        On March 26, 2003, Stop & Shop filed a new complaint in New York Supreme Court, asserting substantially the same claims as in its USDC-NJ complaint. On April 9, 2003, the Company moved the New York Supreme Court action to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. On June 30, 2003, the District Court ordered that the case be placed in suspension and ordered the parties to proceed in a related case that the Company commenced in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. On July 24, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court referred the related case to mediation. The mediation concluded in June 2004 without resolving the dispute. On June 9, 2004, after reconvening the hearing on the Company's motion to interpret, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order abstaining from hearing the Company's motion. On June 17, 2004, the Company filed a notice of appeal from the Bankruptcy Court's order. The appeal will be heard in the District Court. Briefing of the appeal is in progress.

        The Company believes that the additional rent provision of the guaranty expires at the earliest in 2012 and will vigorously oppose Stop & Shop's complaint.

Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

        During the three months ended June 30, 2004, the Company issued 1,400,000 7.2% Series D-11 Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units for $35,000,000 to an institutional investor in a private placement. All of these units were issued without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance on Section 4(2) of that Act.
