NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2001, the Consolidated
Statements of Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,
and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly
the financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flows have
been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These
condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Alexander's, Inc. and Subsidiaries' (the "Company") annual report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2000 as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June
30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full
year.

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.

2. RELATIONSHIP WITH VORNADO REALTY TRUST ("VORNADO")

Vornado owns 33.1% of the Company's common stock at June 30, 2001. The
Company is managed by and its properties are redeveloped and leased by Vornado,
pursuant to agreements with a one-year term expiring in March of each year which
are automatically renewable. Under these agreements, the Company incurred fees
of $1,601,000 and $1,686,000 in the three month periods ended June 30, 2001 and
2000 and $4,065,000 and $3,373,000 in the six months periods ended June 30, 2001
and 2000.

At June 30, 2001, the Company is indebted to Vornado in the amount of
$119,000,000 comprised of (i) $95,000,000 relating to the subordinated tranche
of a $115,000,000 secured financing, and (ii) $24,000,000 under a secured line
of credit. On March 15, 2001, the interest rate on these loans was reset from
15.72% to 13.74% using the same spread to treasuries as previously used. In
addition, during the six-months ended June 30, 2001, the Company borrowed
$4,000,000 under the secured line of credit from Vornado. At June 30, 2001,
$26,000,000 remains available under this facility. The Company incurred interest
on its loans from Vornado of $4,199,000 and $3,474,000 in the three months ended
June 30, 2001 and 2000 and $8,965,000 and $7,249,000 in the six months ended
June 30, 2001 and 2000.

3. SALE OF FORDHAM ROAD PROPERTY

The Company sold its Fordham Road property, located in the Bronx, New
York, on January 12, 2001. The vacant property contains 303,000 square feet and
was sold for $25,500,000 resulting in a gain of $19,026,000. In addition, the
Company paid off the mortgage on this property at a discount, which resulted in
an extraordinary gain from the early extinguishment of debt of $3,534,000.
Included in the expenses relating to the sale, the Company paid a commission of
$1,020,000, of which $520,000 was paid to Vornado.

4. LEASES

On May 1, 2001 the Company entered into a lease agreement with Bloomberg
L.P., a global, multi-media based distributor of information services. Under
this agreement, Bloomberg will lease approximately 700,000 square feet at the
Company's 59th Street and Lexington Avenue development property. The initial
term of the lease is for 25 years, with a ten-year renewal option. Base annual
net rent is $34,221,000 in each of the first four years and $38,226,000 in the
fifth year, with similar percentage increases thereafter.

The development will contain approximately 1.4 million square feet of
retail, office and residential space. The funding required for the proposed
building will be in excess of $650,000,000. Alexander's is exploring various
alternatives for financing the project, including equity, debt, joint ventures
and asset sales, which may involve arrangements with Vornado Realty Trust.

There can be no assurance that this project will be ultimately completed,
completed on time or completed for the budgeted amount. If the project is not
completed on a timely basis, the lease may be cancelled and significant
penalties may apply.

5. KINGS PLAZA REGIONAL SHOPPING CENTER

The Company has completed an interior renovation of the Kings Plaza
Regional Shopping Center (the "Center") at a cost of $31,655,000. These costs
were reclassified to "Buildings, leaseholds and improvements" from "Capitalized
expenses, development costs and construction in progress" during the first
quarter of this year. The exterior of the Center is expected to be renovated
this year.

On June 1, 2001, the Company, through a newly formed subsidiary,
completed a $223,000,000 refinancing of its subsidiary's Kings Plaza Regional
Shopping Center property and repaid the $115,210,000 debt collateralized by the
property from the proceeds of the new loan. The new 10-year mortgage matures in
June 2011 and bears interest at 7.46%. Monthly payments include principal based
on a 27-year amortization schedule.

6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In June 1997, the Kings Plaza Regional Shopping Center (the "Center"),
commissioned an Environmental Study and Contamination Assessment Site
Investigation (the Phase II "Study") to evaluate and delineate environmental
conditions disclosed in a Phase I study. The results of the Study indicate the
presence of petroleum and bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate contamination in the soil
and groundwater. The Company has delineated the contamination and has developed
a remediation approach. The New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation ("NYDEC") has approved a portion of the remediation approach. The
Company accrued $2,000,000 in previous years ($1,733,000 has been paid as of
June 30, 2001) for its estimated obligation with respect to the clean up of the
site, which includes costs of (i) remedial investigation, (ii) feasibility
study, (iii) remedial design, (iv) remedial action and (v) professional fees.
Based upon revised estimates, the Company has accrued an additional $675,000
in the quarter ended June 30, 2001. If the NYDEC insists on a more extensive
remediation approach, the Company could incur additional obligations.

The majority of the contamination may have resulted from activities of
third parties; however, the sources of the contamination have not been fully
identified. Although the Company intends to pursue all available remedies
against any potentially responsible third parties, there can be no assurance
that such parties will be identified, or if identified, whether these
potentially responsible third parties will be solvent. In addition, the costs
associated with pursuing any potentially responsible parties may be cost
prohibitive. The Company has not recorded an asset as of June 30, 2001 for
potential recoveries of environmental remediation costs from other parties.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is a party to, nor is
their property the subject of, any material pending legal proceeding other than
routine litigation incidental to their businesses. The Company believes that
these legal actions will not be material to the Company's financial condition or
results of operations.

Letters of Credit

Approximately $900,000 in standby letters of credit were issued at June
30, 2001.

8. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
141, "Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets." SFAS No. 141 is effective immediately and SFAS 142 will be effective
January 2002. The new standards are not expected to have a significant impact on
our financial statements.

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

Certain statements contained herein constitute forward-looking statements
as such term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21 E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Certain factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in
the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a material
difference include, but are not limited to, (a) changes in the general economic
climate, (b) local conditions such as an oversupply of space or a reduction in
demand for real estate in the area, (c) conditions of tenants, (d) competition
from other available space, (e) increased operating costs and interest expense,
(f) the timing of and costs associated with property improvements, (g) changes
in taxation or zoning laws, (h) government regulations, (i) failure of
Alexander's to continue to qualify as a REIT, (j) availability of financing on
acceptable terms, (k) potential liability under environmental or other laws or
regulations, (l) general competitive factors, (m) dependence upon Vornado Realty
Trust and (n) possible conflicts of interest with Vornado Realty Trust.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company had net income of $2,070,000 in the quarter ended June
30, 2001, compared to $233,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2000, an increase
of $1,837,000 and $27,677,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001, compared
to $1,660,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000, an increase of
$26,017,000. Included in the current six months is a gain on the sale of the
Fordham Road property of $19,026,000 and an extraordinary gain from the early
extinguishment of debt of $3,534,000. Excluding these items, net income would
have been $5,117,000, or a $3,457,000 increase, over the prior year's six month
period.

Tenant expense reimbursements were $6,178,000 in the quarter ended
June 30, 2001, compared to $5,433,000 in the prior year's quarter, an increase
of $745,000 and $12,156,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001, compared to
$10,007,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000, an increase $2,149,000.
These increases resulted from reimbursements for incremental real estate taxes,
repairs and maintenance over the prior year's periods. In addition to these
effects, the current year's increase for the six month period resulted primarily
from (i) higher reimbursements for a portion of the increased fuel costs of the
utility plant at the Company's Kings Plaza Regional Shopping Center, and (ii) a
change made in prior year's six months in the method of allocating an anchor
tenant's share of parking lot expenses at the Rego Park I property (which
covered a number of years and reduced the prior year's six month amount).

Operating expenses were $8,242,000 in the quarter ended June 30,
2001, compared to $7,395,000 in the prior year's quarter, an increase of
$847,000. Operating expenses were $15,420,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2001, compared to $14,009,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000, an
increase of $1,411,000. These increases resulted from higher real estate taxes
and repairs and maintenance compared to the prior year. In addition to these
effects, the current year's increase for the six month period includes an
additional accrual of $675,000 for environmental remediation at the Kings
Plaza Regional Shopping Center.

General and administrative expenses were $850,000 in the quarter
ended June 30, 2001, compared to $1,903,000 in the prior year's quarter, a
decrease of $1,053,000 and $1,728,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001,
compared to $2,755,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000, a decrease of
$1,027,000. These decreases resulted primarily from compensation expense of
$983,000 relating to stock appreciation rights recorded in the second quarter of
2000.

Interest and debt expense was $4,728,000 in the quarter ended June
30, 2001, compared to $5,449,000 in the prior year's quarter, a decrease of
$721,000 and $9,306,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001, compared to
$10,681,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000, a decrease of $1,375,000.
These decreases resulted from higher capitalized interest relating to the
Company's development properties, partially offset by higher average debt.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

In the aggregate, Alexander's operating properties do not generate
sufficient cash flow to pay all of its expenses. The Company's three
non-operating properties (Lexington Avenue, Paramus, and Rego Park II) are in
various stages of development. As rents commence from portions of the
development property(s) and from the vacant property the Company expects that
cash flow will become positive.

10
The Company has completed the excavation and laying the foundation
for its Lexington Avenue property as part of the proposed development of a large
multi-use building. The proposed 1.4 million square feet building is expected to
be comprised of a commercial portion, which may include a combination of retail
stores and offices; and a residential portion, consisting of condominium units.
If the residential portion of the property is developed, the air rights
representing the residential portion would be transferred to a taxable REIT
subsidiary, as a REIT is not permitted to sell condominiums without being
subject to a 100% excise tax on the gain from the sale of such condominiums. The
funding required for the proposed building will be in excess of $650,000,000.
The Company is exploring various alternatives for financing the project,
including equity, debt, joint ventures and asset sales, which may involve
arrangements with Vornado Realty Trust.

On May 1, 2001 the Company entered into a lease agreement with
Bloomberg L.P., under this agreement, Bloomberg will lease approximately 700,000
square feet. The initial term of the lease is for 25 years, with a ten-year
renewal option. Base annual net rent is $34,221,000 in each of the first four
years and $38,226,000 in the fifth year with similar percentage increases
thereafter. There can be no assurance that this project will be ultimately
completed, completed on time or completed for the budgeted amount. If the
project is not completed on a timely basis, the lease may be cancelled and
significant penalties may apply.

The Company, on its own, in a joint venture or through a third
party, may develop a shopping center of approximately 550,000 square feet on the
Paramus Property. The estimated cost of such development is approximately
$100,000,000. The Company has received municipal approvals on tentative plans to
redevelop the site. No development plans have been finalized.

The Company sold its Fordham road property, located in the Bronx,
New York, on January 12, 2001. The vacant property contains 303,000 square feet
and was sold for $25,500,000 resulting in a gain of $19,026,000. In addition,
the Company paid off the $21,263,000 mortgage on this property at a discount,
which resulted in an extraordinary gain from the early extinguishment of debt of
$3,534,000.

During the six-months ended June 30, 2001, the Company borrowed
$4,000,000 under the secured line of credit from Vornado. At June 30, 2001,
$26,000,000 remains available under this facility.

On March 15, 2001 the interest rate on the $119,000,000 loans from
Vornado were reset from 15.72% to 13.74% using the same spread to treasuries as
previously used.

On June 1, 2001, the Company, through a newly formed subsidiary,
completed a $223,000,000 refinancing of its subsidiary's Kings Plaza Regional
Shopping Center property and repaid the $115,210,000 debt collateralized by the
property from the proceeds of the new loan. The new 10-year mortgage matures in
June 2011 and bears interest at 7.46%.

The Company estimates that the fair market values of its assets
are substantially in excess of their historical cost and that it has additional
borrowing capacity. Alexander's continues to evaluate its needs for capital
which may be raised through (a) property specific or corporate borrowing, (b)
the sale of securities and (c) asset sales. Although there can be no assurance,
the Company believes that these cash sources will be adequate to fund cash
requirements until its operations generate adequate cash flow.

Funds from operations does not represent cash generated from
operating activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs, which is
disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the applicable
periods. There are no material legal or functional restrictions on the use of
funds from operations. Funds from operations should not be considered as an
alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company's operating performance
or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Management
considers funds from operations a relevant supplemental measure of operating
performance because it provides a basis for comparison among REITs; however,
funds from operations may not be comparable to similarly titled measures
reported by other REITs since the Company's method of calculating funds from
operations is different from that used by NAREIT. Funds from operations, as
defined by NAREIT, represents net income before depreciation and amortization,
extraordinary items and gains or losses on sales of real estate. Funds from
operations as disclosed above has been modified to adjust for the effect of
straight-lining of property rentals for rent escalations and leasing fee
expenses. Below are the cash flows provided by (used in) operating, investing
and financing activities:

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS
No. 141, "Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 is effective immediately and SFAS 142 will be
effective January 2002. The new standards are not expected to have a significant
impact on our financial statements.


ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

At June 30, 2001, the Company had $35,000,000 of variable rate of debt at
a weighted average interest rate of 7.27% and $424,000,000 of fixed rate of debt
bearing interest at a weighted average interest rate of 9.18%. A one percent
increase in the base used to determine the interest rate of the variable rate
debt would result in a $350,000 decrease in the Company's annual net income
($.07 per basic and diluted share).
