PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS

THE COMPANY

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

STRUCTURE

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

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

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

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

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

OPERATING STRATEGIES

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

ACQUISITION AND DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES

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

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







FINANCING AND CAPITAL STRATEGIES

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

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

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

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

COMPETITION

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






MARKET ENVIRONMENT

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

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

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

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

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

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

REGULATION

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

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

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

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

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

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

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

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

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

PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

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

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

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

Item 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA (CONTINUED)

(1) Management considers Funds from Operations to be an appropriate
measure of the performance of an equity REIT. "Funds from Operations"
is generally defined by NAREIT as net income (loss) before gains (losses)
from the sale of property, extraordinary items, plus real estate depreciation,
including adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
Funds from Operations does not represent cash generated from operating
activities in accordance with GAAP and is not necessarily indicative of cash
available to fund cash needs. Funds from Operations should not be considered
as an alternative to net income as an indication of the Company's
performance or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. Funds from Operations
does not actually represent the cash made available to investors in the
periods presented.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

The following discussion is based primarily on the Consolidated Financial
Statements of Home Properties of New York, Inc.. This should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements appearing elsewhere in this
report. Certain capitalized terms, as used herein, are defined in the
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company is engaged primarily in the ownership, management,
acquisition and development of residential apartment communities in the
Northeastern, Mid-Atlantic and Midwestern United States. As
of December 31, 1999, the Company operated 291 apartment communities
with 44,982 apartments. Of this total, the Company owned 126 communities,
consisting of 33,807 apartments, managed as general partner 125
partnerships that owned 7,710 apartments and fee managed 3,465 apartments
for affiliates and third parties. The Company also fee manages 1.7
million square feet of office and retail properties.

This annual report contains forward-looking statements. Although the
Company believes expectations reflected in such forward-looking
statements are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance
that its expectations will be achieved. Factors that may cause actual
results to differ include general economic and local real estate
conditions, the weather and other conditions that might affect operating
expenses, the timely completion of repositioning activities, the actual
pace of acquisitions, and continued access to capital to fund growth.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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

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

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




1999 1998 %CHANGE


Rent $105,388,000 $100,048,000 5.3%
Property Other Income 3,255,000 2,816,000 15.6%
Total Income 108,643,000 102,864,000 5.6%
Operating and Maintenance (48,653,000) (47,840,000) (1.7%)
Net Operating Income $59,990,000 $55,024,000 9.0%


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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



1998 1997 % CHANGE


Rent $46,587,000 $45,542,000 2.3%
Property Other Income 1,613,000 1,428,000 13.0%
Total Income 48,200,000 46,970,000 2.6%
Operating and Maintenance (22,491,000) (22,919,000) 1.9%
Net Operating Income $25,709,000 $24,051,000 6.9%


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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






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

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

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

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS

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

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

The schedule below summarizes the breakdown of capital improvements:



Non-recurring
Recurring Revenue Combined
Capital Enhancing Capital
Replacements Upgrades Improvements

1999 Core Properties $5,262,000 $24,658,000 $29,920,000
1998 Acquisition Communities 3,512,000 21,358,000 24,870,000
1999 Acquisition Communities 1,648,000 4,094,000 5,742,000
Corporate office expenditures* N/A N/A 502,000
$10,422,000 $50,110,000 $61,034,000

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

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

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

IMPACT OF THE YEAR-2000 ON SYSTEM PROCESSING

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

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

The Company's State of Readiness

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

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

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

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

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

COSTS

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

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

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



RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

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

INFLATION

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

and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits
of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted

(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)

1 ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

ORGANIZATION

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

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

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

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

REAL ESTATE

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

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

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

DEPRECIATION

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

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

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

CASH IN ESCROWS

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

DEFERRED CHARGES

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

AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE SECURITIES

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

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities
and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

ADVERTISING

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

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

REVENUE RECOGNITION

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

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

INCOME TAXES

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

EARNINGS PER SHARE

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

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

EARNINGS PER SHARE (CONTINUED)

Income before extraordinary item, extraordinary item and net income
available to common shareholders are the same for both the basic and
diluted calculation. The reconciliation of the basic and diluted
earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997
is as follows:



1999 1998 1997


Net Income before preferred dividends $26,282 $18,688 $6,390
Less: Preferred dividends (1,153) - -
Net income available to common shareholders $25,129 $18,688 $6,390

Basic weighted average number of
shares outstanding 18,697,731 13,898,221 7,415,888
Effect of dilutive stock options 103,176 124,108 142,279
Diluted weighted average number of
shares outstanding 18,800,907 14,022,329 7,558,167

Basic earnings per share $1.34 $1.34 $0.86
Diluted earnings per share $1.34 $1.33 $0.84



Unexercised stock options to purchase 713,600, 138,500,
116,500 shares of the Company's common stock were not included in the
computations of diluted EPS because the options' exercise prices were
greater than the average market price of the Company's stock during the
years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. For the year
ended December 31, 1999, the 1,666,667 shares of the 9% Series A
Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred") and the
2,000,000 shares of 8.36% Series B Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock
("Series B Preferred") on an as-converted basis has an antidilutive
effect and is not included in the computation of diluted EPS.

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

2000 $ 7,478

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

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

5 LINE OF CREDIT

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

6 MINORITY INTEREST

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

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



1999 1998

Balance, beginning of year $204,709 $156,847

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN

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

PREFERRED SHARES

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

PREFERRED SHARES (CONTINUED)

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

OFFICER AND DIRECTOR NOTES FOR STOCK PURCHASES

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

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

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

7 STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED)

STOCK PURCHASE AND LOAN PLAN (CONTINUED)

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

DIVIDENDS

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

ORDINARY INCOME RETURN OF CAPITAL

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

TOTAL SHARES/UNITS OUTSTANDING

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

8 SEGMENT REPORTING

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

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

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

8 SEGMENT REPORTING (CONTINUED)

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

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

EACH OF THE REPORTABLE SEGMENTS ARE

9 MANAGEMENT COMPANIES

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

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

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

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

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

11 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES(CONTINUED)

INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN

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

CONTINGENCIES

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

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

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

DEBT COVENANTS

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

GUARANTEES

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

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

EXECUTIVE RETENTION PLAN

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

12 STOCK BENEFIT PLAN

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

12 STOCK BENEFIT PLAN (CONTINUED)

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

HOME PROPERTIES OF NEW YORK, INC.

DIRECTOR DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

1. PURPOSE

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

2. ELIGIBILITY

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

3. CONTRIBUTIONS

(a) Participant Contributions.

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

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

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


(b) Company Matching Contributions.

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

4. PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS

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

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

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

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

5. PAYMENT OF DEFERRED AMOUNTS

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

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

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

6. PARTICIPANT'S RIGHTS UNSECURED

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

7. STATEMENT OF ACCOUNT

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

8. TRANSFERABILITY

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

9. PLAN ADMINISTRATOR

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

10. AMENDMENT

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

11. GOVERNING LAW

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

12. EFFECTIVE DATE

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

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

FEDERAL TAX ASPECTS

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

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

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

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

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

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