Toys' EBITDA (1)



     EBITDA represents "Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and
     Amortization." Management considers EBITDA a supplemental measure for
     making decisions and assessing the un-levered performance of its segments
     as it relates to the total return on assets as opposed to the levered
(1)  return on equity. As properties are bought and sold based on a multiple of
     EBITDA, management utilizes this measure to make investment decisions as
     well as to compare the performance of its assets to that of its peers.
     EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for net income. EBITDA may not
     be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

Vornado's share of FFO (1)              $ (29,395        )   $ (23,748        )



     FFO is computed in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of
     Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts
     ("NAREIT"). NAREIT defines FFO as net income or loss determined in
     accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"),
     excluding extraordinary items as defined under GAAP and gains or losses
     from sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, plus
     specified non-cash items, such as real estate asset depreciation and
     amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and
     joint ventures. FFO is used by management, investors and industry analysts
     as supplemental measures of operating performance of equity REITs. FFO
     should be evaluated along with GAAP net income and income per diluted share
     (the most directly comparable GAAP measures), as well as cash flow from
     operating activities, investing activities and financing activities, in
(1)  evaluating the operating performance of equity REITs. Management believes
     that FFO is helpful to investors as supplemental performance measures
     because these measures exclude the effect of depreciation, amortization and
     gains or losses from sales of real estate, all of which are based on
     historical costs which implicitly assumes that the value of real estate
     diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have
     historically risen or fallen with market conditions, these non-GAAP
     measures can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between
     periods and among other equity REITs. FFO does not represent cash generated
     from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and is not necessarily
     indicative of cash available to fund cash needs as disclosed in the
     Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. FFO should not be
     considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company's
     operating performance or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of
     liquidity.
