1. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2003, the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation S-X and the instructions to Form 10-Q. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Alexander’s, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Alexander’s, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany amounts have been eliminated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, effective January 1, 2002, the Company reclassified its statements of operations to reflect revenue and expenses for properties which are held for sale or sold during 2002 and thereafter as discontinued operations.

     2.     RELATIONSHIP WITH VORNADO REALTY TRUST (“Vornado”)

     Vornado owns 33.1% of the Company’s common stock as of September 30, 2003. Steven Roth is the Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, the Managing General Partner of Interstate Properties (“Interstate”) and the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer of Vornado. At September 30, 2003, Mr. Roth, Interstate and its other two general partners, David Mandelbaum and Russell B. Wight, Jr. (who are also directors of the Company and trustees of Vornado) owned, in the aggregate, 27.5% of the outstanding common stock of the Company, in addition to the common stock owned directly by Vornado, and 12.3% of the outstanding common shares of beneficial interest of Vornado.

     The Company is managed by and its properties are leased by Vornado pursuant to management, leasing and development agreements with one-year terms expiring in March of each year, which are automatically renewable. In conjunction with the closing of the Lexington Avenue construction loan (the “Construction Loan”) on July 3, 2002 (see Note 4), these agreements were bifurcated to cover the Company’s Lexington Avenue property separately. Further, the management and development agreements with Vornado were amended to provide for a term lasting until substantial completion of the property, with automatic renewals, and for the payment of the development fee upon the earlier of January 3, 2006 or the payment in full of the Construction Loan encumbering the property.

     Pursuant to this Construction Loan, Vornado has agreed to guarantee, among other things, the lien free, timely completion of the construction of the Lexington Avenue project and funding of project costs in excess of a stated loan budget, if not funded by the Company (the “Completion Guarantee”). The $6,300,000 estimated fee payable by the Company to Vornado for the Completion Guarantee is 1% of construction costs (as defined) and is due at the same time that the development fee is due. In addition, if Vornado should advance any funds under the Completion Guarantee in excess of the $26,000,000, which was available at July 3, 2002 under the line of credit, discussed below, interest on those advances would be at 15% per annum.

     The other fees payable by the Company to Vornado consist of (i) an annual management fee of $3,000,000 plus 3% of the gross income from the Kings Plaza Mall, (ii) a development fee equal to 6% of development costs, as defined, with a minimum guaranteed fee of $750,000 per annum, and (iii) a leasing fee. The development fee for the Lexington Avenue project is estimated to be approximately $26,300,000. At September 30, 2003, the Company owed Vornado $14,266,000 in development fees. The leasing fee to Vornado is equal to (i) 3% of the gross proceeds, as defined, from the sale of an asset and (ii) in the event of a lease or sublease of an asset, 3% of lease rent for the first ten years of a lease term, 2% of lease rent for the eleventh through the twentieth years of a lease term and 1% of lease rent for the twenty-first through thirtieth year of a lease term, subject to the payment of rents by tenants. Such amounts are payable annually in an amount not to exceed $2,500,000, until the present value of such installments (calculated at a discount rate of 9% per annum) equals the amount that would have been paid had they been paid at the time the transactions which gave rise to the commissions occurred. Pursuant to the leasing agreement, in the event third-party real estate brokers are used, the fees to Vornado increase by 1% and Vornado is responsible for the fees to the third-party real estate brokers.

     The following table shows the total amounts incurred under the above mentioned agreements.

     At September 30, 2003, the Company was indebted to Vornado in the amount of $124,000,000 comprised of (i) $95,000,000 financing, and (ii) $29,000,000 under a $50,000,000 line of credit (which carries a 1% unused commitment fee). The current interest rate on the loan and line of credit is 12.48% and the maturity has been extended to the earlier of January 3, 2006 or the date the Construction Loan is repaid in full. The interest rate on the loan and the line of credit will reset quarterly using a treasury index (with a 3% floor) plus the same spread to treasuries as previously existed. The Company incurred interest on its loans from Vornado of $4,010,000 and $3,784,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and $11,625,000 and $11,685,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. At September 30, 2003, $21,000,000 was available under the line of credit.
