Substantially all of Vornado’s assets are held through subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. Accordingly, Vornado’s cash flow and ability to pay dividends to its shareholders is dependent upon the cash flow of the Operating Partnership and the ability of its direct and indirect subsidiaries to first satisfy their obligations to creditors.

2. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and include the accounts of Vornado, and the Operating Partnership and its consolidated partially owned entities. All intercompany amounts have been eliminated. In our opinion, 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 (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. We have made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated fina ncial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2009, as filed with the SEC. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

3. Recently Issued Accounting Literature

On January 21, 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, adding new requirements for disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value measurements and additional disclosures about the activity within Level 3 fair value measurements. The application of this guidance on January 1, 2010 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued an update to ASC 810, Consolidation, which modifies the existing quantitative guidance used in determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) by requiring entities to qualitatively assess whether an enterprise is a primary beneficiary, based on whether the entity has (i) power over the significant activities of the VIE, and (ii) an obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be potentially significant to the VIE. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2010 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

4. Vornado Capital Partners, L.P.

On July 6, 2010, we completed the first closing of Vornado Capital Partners, L.P., our real estate investment fund (the “Fund”), with aggregate equity commitments of $550,000,000, of which we committed $200,000,000. We expect to raise an additional $450,000,000 bringing total commitments to $1 billion. We are the general partner and investment manager of the Fund and it is our exclusive investment vehicle during the three-year investment period for all investments that fit within the Fund’s investment parameters, including debt, equity and other interests in real estate, and excluding (i) investments in vacant land and ground-up development; (ii) investments acquired by merger or primarily for our securities or properties; (iii) properties which can be combined with or relate to our exi sting properties; (iv) securities of commercial mortgage loan servicers and investments derived from any such investments; (v) noncontrolling interests in equity and debt securities; and (vi) investments located outside of North America. The Fund has a term of eight years from the final closing date. The Fund is accounted for under the AICPA Investment Company Guide and its investments are reported on its balance sheet at fair value, with changes in value each period recognized in earnings. We consolidate the accounts of the Fund into our consolidated financial statements. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we expensed $3,752,000 and $6,482,000, respectively, for organization costs, which are included as a component of “general and administrative” expenses on our consolidated statement of income.

In September 2010, the Fund received $59,240,000 of capital from partners, including $21,542,000 from us. In October 2010, the Fund received an additional $53,300,000 of capital from partners, including $19,382,000 from us, for total capital contributions to date of $112,540,000. In the third quarter of 2010, the Fund acquired two investments aggregating $42,500,000 in cash, and in October 2010, the Fund acquired a third investment for $168,000,000, of which $100,000,000 was mortgage financed and $68,000,000 was paid in cash.

5. Derivative Instruments and Marketable Securities

Investment in J.C. Penney Company, Inc. (“J.C. Penney”) (NYSE: JCP)

We currently own an economic interest in 23,400,000 common shares of J.C Penney, or 9.9% of its outstanding common shares. Below are the details of our investment.

In September 2010, we acquired 2,684,010 common shares at an average price of $26.87 per share, or $72,107,000 in the aggregate. These shares are included as a component of marketable equity securities on our consolidated balance sheet and are classified as “available for sale.” Gains or losses resulting from the mark-to-market of these shares are recognized as an increase or decrease in “accumulated other comprehensive income” (a component of shareholders’ equity on our consolidated balance sheet) and not recognized in income. In the quarter ended September 30, 2010, we recognized an $845,000 unrealized gain based on J.C. Penney’s September 30, 2010 closing share price of $27.18 per share. In October 2010, we acquired an additional 400,000 common shares at an average price of $27.46 per share, or $10,983,000 in the ag gregate. Accordingly, we currently own 3,084,010 common shares at an average price of $26.94 per share, or $83,090,000 in the aggregate.

On September 28, 2010, we acquired call options to purchase 15,500,000 common shares at a strike price of $12.2437 per share for $199,265,000, which expire on March 27, 2012. We may exercise all or portions of the options prior to expiration. The options may be settled, at our election, in cash or common shares. These options are derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Gains or losses resulting from the mark-to-market of the derivative instruments are recognized as an increase or decrease in “interest and other investment income (loss), net” on our consolidated statement of income. In the quarter ended September 30, 2010, we recognized a $32,249,000 net gain, based on J.C. Penney’s September 30, 2010 closing share price of $27.18 per share and our weighted average cost of $25.10 per share. At September 30, 2010, the $199,265,000 cost of the options and the $32,249,000 mark-to-market increase in the value of the options are included in “other assets” and the $199,265,000 settled on October 1, 2010 is included in “other liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheet.

On October 7, 2010, we entered into a forward contract to acquire 4,815,990 common shares at an initial weighted average strike price of $28.41 per share. We may accelerate settlement, in whole or in part, at any time prior to October 9, 2012. The counterparty may accelerate settlement, in whole or in part, upon one year’s notice to us. The forward contract may be settled, at our election, in cash or common shares. Pursuant to the terms of the contract, the strike price for each share increases at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 80 basis points and decreases for dividends received on the shares. The contract is a derivative instrument that does not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Gains or losses resulting from the mark-to-market of the derivative instrument are recognized as an increase or decrease in “interest and other investment income (loss), net” on our consolidated statement of income.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we sold certain of our investments in marketable securities for an aggregate of $155,118,000 and recognized an $8,960,000 net gain, of which $5,052,000 was recognized in the third quarter of 2010. Such gain is included as a component of "net gain on disposition of wholly owned and partially owned assets other than depreciable real estate" on our consolidated statement of income. At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, our marketable securities portfolio had $40,990,000 and $13,026,000, respectively, of gross unrealized gains. There were no unrealized losses at September 30, 2010 and $1,223,000 of gross unrealized losses at December 31, 2009.

6. Investments in Partially Owned Entities

LNR Property Corporation (“LNR”)

On July 29, 2010, as a part of LNR’s recapitalization, we acquired a 26.2% equity interest in LNR for $116,000,000 in cash and conversion into equity of our $15,000,000 mezzanine loan (the then current carrying amount) made to LNR’s parent, Riley Holdco Corp. The recapitalization involved an infusion of a total of $417,000,000 in new cash equity and the reduction of LNR’s total debt to $425,000,000 from $1.3 billion, excluding liabilities related to the consolidated CMBS and CDO trusts described below. We account for our equity interest in LNR under the equity method. Upon finalization of purchase accounting in the fourth quarter, we will recognize our 26.2% pro-rata share of LNR’s earnings for the period from July 29, 2010 (date of acquisition) to September 30, 2010, which will not be material to our consolidated statement of income, as we ll as our share of their fourth quarter earnings.

LNR consolidates certain commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) and Collateralized Debt Obligation (“CDO”) trusts for which it is the primary beneficiary. The assets of these trusts (primarily commercial mortgage loans) are the sole source of repayment of the related liabilities, which are non-recourse to LNR and its equity holders, including us. Changes in the estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities of these trusts each period are recognized in LNR’s consolidated income statement and allocated to the noncontrolling interests, which is applied to “appropriated deficit” on LNR’s consolidated balance sheet and not to LNR’s equity holders, including us.

Below is a summary of LNR’s consolidated balance sheet at July 29, 2010:

(Amounts in thousands)		As of
Balance Sheet:		July 29, 2010

Toys “R” Us (“Toys”)

As of September 30, 2010, we own 32.7% of Toys. The business of Toys is highly seasonal. Historically, Toys’ fourth quarter net income accounts for more than 80% of its fiscal year net income. We account for our investment in Toys under the equity method and record our 32.7% share of Toys net income or loss on a one-quarter lag basis because Toys’ fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest January 31, and our fiscal year ends on December 31. As of September 30, 2010, the carrying amount of our investment in Toys does not differ materially from our share of the equity in the net assets of Toys on a purchase accounting basis.

On May 28, 2010, Toys filed a registration statement with the SEC for the offering and sale of its common stock. The offering, if completed, would result in a reduction of our percentage ownership of Toys’ equity. The size of the offering and its completion are subject to market and other conditions.

In August 2010, in connection with certain financing and refinancing transactions, Toys paid us an aggregate of $9,600,000 for our share of advisory fees. Since Toys has capitalized these fees and is amortizing them over the term of the related debt, we recorded the fees as a reduction of the basis of our investment in Toys and will amortize the fees into income over the term of the related debt.

Below is a summary of Toys’ latest available financial information on a purchase accounting basis:

(Amounts in thousands)						Balance as of
Balance Sheet:						July 31, 2010		October 31, 2009

Alexander’s, Inc. (“Alexander’s”) (NYSE: ALX)

As of September 30, 2010, we own 32.4% of the outstanding common stock of Alexander’s. We manage, lease and develop Alexander’s properties pursuant to agreements which expire in March of each year and are automatically renewable. As of September 30, 2010, Alexander’s owed us $58,409,000 in fees under these agreements.

Based on Alexander’s September 30, 2010 closing share price of $315.78, the market value (“fair value” pursuant to ASC 820) of our investment in Alexander’s is $522,322,000, or $322,634,000 in excess of the September 30, 2010 carrying amount on our consolidated balance sheet. As of September 30, 2010, the carrying amount of our investment in Alexander’s, excluding amounts owed to us, exceeds our share of the equity in the net assets of Alexander’s by approximately $59,868,000. The majority of this basis difference resulted from the excess of our purchase price for the Alexander’s common stock acquired over the book value of Alexander’s net assets. Substantially all of this basis difference was allocated, based on our estimates of the fair values of Alexander’s assets and liabilities, to the real estate (land and buildings).&nb sp; The basis difference related to the buildings is being amortized over their estimated useful lives as an adjustment to our equity in net income of Alexander’s. This amortization is not material to our share of equity in Alexander’s net income or loss. The basis difference related to the land will be recognized upon disposition of our investment.

Lexington Realty Trust (“Lexington”) (NYSE: LXP)

As of September 30, 2010, we own 18,468,969 Lexington common shares, or approximately 13.7% of Lexington’s common equity. We account for our investment in Lexington on the equity method because we believe we have the ability to exercise significant influence over Lexington’s operating and financial policies, based on, among other factors, our representation on Lexington’s Board of Trustees and the level of our ownership in Lexington as compared to other shareholders. We record our pro rata share of Lexington’s net income or loss on a one-quarter lag basis because we fil e our consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K and 10-Q prior to the time that Lexington files its financial statements.

Based on Lexington’s September 30, 2010 closing share price of $7.16, the market value (“fair value” pursuant to ASC 820) of our investment in Lexington was $132,238,000, or $80,804,000 in excess of the September 30, 2010 carrying amount on our consolidated balance sheet. As of September 30, 2010, the carrying amount of our investment in Lexington was less than our share of the equity in the net assets of Lexington by approximately $69,788,000. This basis difference resulted primarily from $107,882,000 of non-cash impairment charges recognized during 2008, partially offset by purchase accounting for our acquisition of an additional 8,000,000 common shares of Lexington in October 2008, of which the majority relates to our estimate of the fair values of Lexington’s real estate (land and buildings) as compared to the carrying amounts in Lexington’s consolidated financial statements. The basis difference related to the buildings is being amortized over their estimated useful lives as an adjustment to our equity in net income or loss of Lexington. This amortization is not material to our share of equity in Lexington’s net income or loss. The basis difference attributable to the land will be recognized upon disposition of our investment.

10. Debt - continued

	Notes to preceding tabular information (Amounts in thousands):

	(1)	Represents the extended maturity for certain loans in which we have the unilateral right, ability and intent to extend. In the case of our convertible and exchangeable debt, represents the earliest date holders may require us to repurchase the debentures.

	(2)	On June 1, 2010, we refinanced this loan in the same amount. The new loan, which is guaranteed by the Operating Partnership, has a rate of LIBOR plus 1.40% (1.66% at September 30, 2010) and matures in June 2011 with three one-year extension options.

	(3)	On September 1, 2010, we repaid the $44,900 outstanding balance of this loan which was scheduled to mature in October 2010.

	(4)	In August 2010, we sold $660,000 of 10-year mortgage notes in a single issuer securitization. The notes are comprised of a $600,000 fixed rate component and a $60,000 variable rate component and are cross-collateralized by 40 strip shopping centers. The variable rate portion of the debt has a LIBOR floor of 1.00%.
	(5)	In the fourth quarter of 2009, we notified the master servicer of this debt that the cash flows currently generated from this property are insufficient to fund debt service payments and that we were not prepared to fund any cash shortfalls. Accordingly, we requested that the loan be placed with the special servicer. We have ceased making debt service payments and are currently in default. Pursuant to the terms of the debt agreement and in accordance with GAAP, we have accrued interest on this loan at the default rate. As a result, we have accrued $5,823 of additional interest expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, of which $3,038 was accrued in the current quarter. We are in negotiations with the special servicer but there can be no assurance as to the timing and ultimate resolution of these negotiations.
	(6)	In March 2010, we notified the master servicer of the mortgage loan on a retail property in California, that the cash flows generated from this property were insufficient to fund debt service payments and that we were not prepared to fund any cash shortfalls. Accordingly, we requested that the loan be placed with the special servicer. On October 14, 2010, the special servicer foreclosed on the property. In the fourth quarter, we will remove the property and the related debt from our consolidated balance sheet, which will not have a material impact on our consolidated statement of income.

	(7)	In March 2010, we notified the master servicer of this debt that the cash flows currently generated from this property are insufficient to fund debt service payments and that we were not prepared to fund any cash shortfalls. Accordingly, we requested that the loan be placed with the special servicer. We have ceased making debt service payments and are currently in default. Pursuant to the terms of the debt agreement and in accordance with GAAP, we have accrued interest on this loan at the default rate. As a result, we have accrued $5,913 of additional interest expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, of which $2,565 was accrued in the current quarter. In October, 2010, the special servicer filed a motion to place the property in receivership. There can be no assurance as to the timing and ultimate resolution of this matter.
	(8)	This loan bears interest at the Freddie Mac Reference Note Rate plus 1.53%.

	(9)	This loan has a LIBOR floor of 1.50%.

	(10)	This loan has a LIBOR floor of 2.00%.

	Notes to preceding tabular information (Amounts in thousands):

	(11)	In June 2010, we extended the maturity date of a $50,000 construction loan to February 2011, with a one-year extension option.

	(12)	In October 2010, we repaid a $36,000 loan which matured on September 30, 2010.

	(13)	On March 26, 2010, we completed a public offering of $500,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.25% senior unsecured notes due April 1, 2015. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1, commencing on October 1, 2010. The notes were sold at 99.834% of their face amount to yield 4.287%. The notes can be redeemed without penalty beginning January 1, 2015. We retained net proceeds of approximately $496,000.

	(14)	These notes may be redeemed at our option in whole or in part beginning on October 1, 2014, at a price equal to the principal amount plus accrued interest. In the quarter ended March 31, 2010, we reclassified $13,866 of deferred financing costs to “deferred leasing and financing costs” on our consolidated balance sheet.
	(15)	In the third quarter of 2010, we purchased $17,000 aggregate face amount ($16,981 aggregate carrying amount) of these senior unsecured notes for $17,382 in cash, resulting in a net loss of $401.

	(16)	In 2010, we purchased $55,251 aggregate face amount ($53,972 aggregate carrying amount) of our convertible senior debentures for $55,367 in cash, resulting in a net loss of $1,395, of which $324 was recognized in the third quarter of 2010.

	(17)	On October 1 2010, pursuant to our September 2, 2010 tender offer, we purchased $189,827 aggregate face amount of our 3.63% convertible senior debentures and $12,246 aggregate face amount of our 2.85% convertible senior debentures for an aggregate of $206,053 in cash, resulting in a net loss of approximately $8,500 which will be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2010.

	(18)	The net proceeds from the offering of these debentures were contributed to the Operating Partnership in the form of an inter-company loan and the Operating Partnership fully and unconditionally guaranteed payment of these debentures. There are no restrictions which limit the Operating Partnership from making distributions to Vornado and Vornado has no independent assets or operations outside of the Operating Partnership.

11. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

Redeemable noncontrolling interests on our consolidated balance sheets represent Operating Partnership units held by third parties and are comprised of Class A units and Series D-10, D-11, D-14 and D-15 (collectively, “Series D”) cumulative redeemable preferred units. Redeemable noncontrolling interests on our consolidated balance sheets are recorded at the greater of their carrying amount or redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the value from period to period are charged to “additional capital” in our consolidated statements of changes in equity. Below is a table summarizing the activity of redeemable noncontrolling interests.

(Amounts in thousands)
Balance at December 31, 2008	$	1,177,978
Net income		32,250
Distributions		(31,313)
Conversion of Class A units into common shares, at redemption value		(53,091)
Adjustment to carry redeemable Class A units at redemption value		77,004
Other, net		9,937
Balance at September 30, 2009	$	1,212,765


Balance at December 31, 2009	$	1,251,628
Net income		33,487
Distributions		(40,702)
Conversion of Class A units into common shares, at redemption value		(62,606)
Adjustment to carry redeemable Class A units at redemption value		232,099
Redemption of Series D-12 redeemable units		(13,000)
Other, net		16,316
Balance at September 30, 2010	$	1,417,222

As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the aggregate redemption value of redeemable Class A units was $1,157,222,000 and $971,628,000, respectively.

Redeemable noncontrolling interests exclude our Series G convertible preferred units and Series D-13 cumulative redeemable preferred units, as they are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities and Equity, because of their possible settlement by issuing a variable number of Vornado common shares. Accordingly the fair value of these units is included as a component of “other liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheets and aggregated $61,516,000 and $60,271,000 as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

In March and May of 2010, we redeemed 246,153 and 553,847 Series D-12 cumulative redeemable preferred units, respectively, for $16.25 per unit in cash, or $13,000,000 in the aggregate. In connection with these redemptions, we recognized a $6,972,000 net gain, of which $4,818,000 was recognized in the second quarter of 2010. Such gain is included as a component of “net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, including unit distributions,” on our consolidated statement of income.

12. Shareholders’ Equity

In September 2010, we purchased all of the 1,600,000 outstanding Series D-10 preferred shares with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share, for $22.25 per share in cash, or $35,600,000 in the aggregate. In connection therewith, the $4,382,000 discount was included as “discount on preferred share redemptions” on our consolidated statement of income.

13. Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. The objective of fair value is to determine the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the exit price). ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels: Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active mar kets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities; Level 2 – observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets, but corroborated by market data; and Level 3 – unobservable inputs that are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as consider counterparty credit risk in our assessment of fair value. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret Level 2 and 3 inputs in determining the fair value of our financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Accordingly, our fair value estimates, which are made at the end of each reporting period, may be different than the amounts that may ultimately be realized upon sale or disposition of these assets.& nbsp;

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

Financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in our consolidated financial statements consist of (i) marketable securities, (ii) derivative positions in marketable equity securities (iii) the assets of our deferred compensation plan, which are primarily marketable equity securities and equity investments in limited partnerships, (iv) Real Estate Fund investments, (v) short-term investments (CDARS classified as available-for-sale), and (vi) mandatorily redeemable instruments (Series G convertible preferred units and Series D-13 cumulative redeemable preferred units). The tables below aggregate the fair values of financial assets and liabilities by the levels in the fair value hierarchy at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

			As of September 30, 2010

Financial Assets and Liabilities not Measured at Fair Value

Financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value in our consolidated financial statements include mezzanine loans receivable and debt. Estimates of the fair values of these instruments are based on our assessments of available market information and valuation methodologies, including discounted cash flow analyses. The table below summarizes the carrying amounts and fair values of these financial instruments as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

14. Stock-based Compensation

On May 13, 2010, our shareholders approved the 2010 Omnibus Share Plan (the “Plan’), which replaces the 2002 Omnibus Share Plan. Under the Plan, the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) may grant eligible participants awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, restricted shares and other stock-based awards and operating partnership units, certain of which may provide for dividends or dividend equivalents and voting rights prior to vesting. Awards may be granted up to a maximum of 6,000,000 shares, if all awards granted are Full Value Awards, as defined, and up to 12,000,000 shares, if all of the awards granted are Not Full Value Awards, as defined. Full Value Awards are awards of securities, such as restricted shares, that, if all vesting requirements are met, do not require the payment of an exercise price or strike price to acquire the securities. Not Full Value Awards are awards of securities, such as options, that do require the payment of an exercise price or strike price. This means, for example, if the Committee were to award only restricted shares, it could award up to 6,000,000 restricted shares. On the other hand, if the Committee were to award only stock options, it could award options to purchase up to 12,000,000 shares (at the applicable exercise price). The Committee may also issue any combination of awards under the Plan, with reductions in availability of future awards made in accordance with the above limitations.

We account for all stock-based compensation in accordance ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Stock-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 consists of stock option awards, restricted stock awards, Operating Partnership unit awards and out-performance plan awards. Stock-based compensation expense was $11,210,000 and $5,639,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $26,167,000 and $21,539,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Stock-based compensation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 includes $2,800,000 of expense resulting from accelerating the ves ting of certain Operating Partnership units and our 2006 out-performance Plan units, which were scheduled to fully vest in the first quarter of 2011.

On March 31, 2009, our nine most senior executives voluntarily surrendered their 2007 and 2008 stock option awards and their 2008 out-performance plan awards. Accordingly, we recognized $32,588,000 of expense in the first quarter of 2009 representing the unamortized portion of these awards, which is included as a component of “general and administrative” expense on our consolidated statement of income.

19. Retirement Plan

In the first quarter of 2009, we finalized the termination of the Merchandise Mart Properties Pension Plan, which resulted in a $2,800,000 pension settlement expense that is included as a component of “general and administrative” expense on our consolidated statement of income.

20. Subsequent Events

On October 8, 2010, we acquired 510 Fifth Avenue for $57,000,000, comprised of $24,700,000 in cash and $32,300,000 of existing mortgage debt. This five-story building is located on the southwest corner of 43^rd Street and Fifth Avenue in New York and consists of 60,000 square feet of retail and office space. We will consolidate the accounts of this property into our consolidated financial statements in the fourth quarter, from the date of the acquisition.

On October 20, 2010, we sold a 45% common ownership interest in 1299 Pennsylvania Avenue (the Warner Building) and 1101 17^th Street NW, for $236,700,000, comprised of $91,000,000 in cash and the assumption of existing mortgage debt. We retained the remaining 55% ownership interest and continue to manage and lease the properties. Based on the Warner Building’s implied fair value of $445,000,000, we realized a net gain of $54,000,000 which will be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2010. The gain on 1101 17^th Street, based on an implied fair value of $81,000,000, will be recognized when we monetize our investment.

21. Commitments and Contingencies

Insurance

We maintain general liability insurance with limits of $300,000,000 per occurrence and all risk property and rental value insurance with limits of $2.0 billion per occurrence, including coverage for terrorist acts, with sub-limits for certain perils such as floods. Our California properties have earthquake insurance with coverage of $150,000,000 per occurrence, subject to a deductible in the amount of 5% of the value of the affected property, up to a $150,000,000 annual aggregate.

Penn Plaza Insurance Company, LLC (“PPIC”), our wholly owned consolidated subsidiary, acts as a re-insurer with respect to a portion of our earthquake insurance coverage and as a direct insurer for coverage for acts of terrorism, including nuclear, biological, chemical and radiological (“NBCR”) acts, as defined by TRIPRA. Coverage for acts of terrorism (excluding NBCR acts) is fully reinsured by third party insurance companies and the Federal government with no exposure to PPIC. Our coverage for NBCR losses is up to $2 billion per occurrence, for which PPIC is responsible for a deductible of $3,200,000 and 15% of the balance of a covered loss and the Federal government is responsible for the remaining 85% of a covered loss. We are ultimately responsible for any loss borne by PPIC.

We continue to monitor the state of the insurance market and the scope and costs of coverage for acts of terrorism. However, we cannot anticipate what coverage will be available on commercially reasonable terms in future policy years.

Our debt instruments, consisting of mortgage loans secured by our properties which are non-recourse to us, senior unsecured notes, exchangeable senior debentures, convertible senior debentures and revolving credit agreements contain customary covenants requiring us to maintain insurance. Although we believe that we have adequate insurance coverage for purposes of these agreements, we may not be able to obtain an equivalent amount of coverage at reasonable costs in the future. Further, if lenders insist on greater coverage than we are able to obtain it could adversely affect our ability to finance and/or refinance our properties and expand our portfolio.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

Our mortgage loans are non-recourse to us. However, in certain cases we have provided guarantees or master leased tenant space. These guarantees and master leases terminate either upon the satisfaction of specified circumstances or repayment of the underlying loans. As of September 30, 2010, the aggregate dollar amount of these guarantees and master leases is approximately $245,057,000.

At September 30, 2010, $14,233,000 of letters of credit were outstanding under one of our revolving credit facilities. Our credit facilities contain financial covenants that require us to maintain minimum interest coverage and maximum debt to market capitalization ratios, and provide for higher interest rates in the event of a decline in our ratings below Baa3/BBB. Our credit facilities also contain customary conditions precedent to borrowing, including representations and warranties and also contain customary events of default that could give rise to accelerated repayment, including such items as failure to pay interest or principal.

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

We are committed to fund additional capital to certain of our partially owned entities aggregating approximately $195,672,000, of which $178,458,000 is committed to the Fund. In addition, we have agreed in principle to contribute up to $52,000,000 to a new investment management fund which will be managed by LNR.

As part of the process of obtaining the required approvals to demolish and develop our 220 Central Park South property into a new residential tower, we have committed to fund the estimated project cost of approximately $400,000,000 to $425,000,000.

Litigation

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

On January 8, 2003, Stop & Shop filed a complaint with the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (“USDC-NJ”) claiming that we had no right to reallocate and therefore continue to collect the $5,000,000 of annual rent from Stop & Shop pursuant to the Master Agreement and Guaranty, because of the expiration of the East Brunswick, Jersey City, Middletown, Union and Woodbridge leases to which the $5,000,000 of additional rent was previously allocated. Stop & Shop asserted that a prior order of the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York dated February 6, 2001, as modified on appeal to the District Court for the Southern District of New York on February 13, 2001, froze our right to reallocate which effectively terminated our right to collect the additional rent from Stop & Shop . On March 3, 2003, after we moved to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction, Stop & Shop voluntarily withdrew its complaint. On March 26, 2003, Stop & Shop filed a new complaint in New York State Supreme Court, asserting substantially the same claims as in its USDC-NJ complaint. We removed the action to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. In January 2005 that court remanded the action to the New York State Supreme Court. On February 14, 2005, we served an answer in which we asserted a counterclaim seeking a judgment for all the unpaid additional rent accruing through the date of the judgment and a declaration that Stop & Shop will continue to be liable for the additional rent as long as any of the leases subject to the Master Agreement and Guaranty remain in effect. On May 17, 2005, we filed a motion for summary judgment. On July 15, 2005, Stop & Shop opposed our motion and filed a cross-motion for summary judgment. On December 13, 2005, the Court issued its dec ision denying the motions for summary judgment. Both parties appealed the Court’s decision and on December 14, 2006, the Appellate Court division issued a decision affirming the Court’s decision. On January 16, 2007, we filed a motion for the reconsideration of one aspect of the Appellate Court’s decision which was denied on March 13, 2007. Discovery is now complete. On October 19, 2009, Stop & Shop filed a motion for leave to amend its pleadings to assert new claims for relief, including a claim for damages in an unspecified amount, and an additional affirmative defense. On April 26, 2010, Stop and Shop’s motion was denied. A tentative trial date has been set for November 8, 2010. We intend to continue to vigorously pursue our claims against Stop & Shop. In our opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such matters will not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In July 2005, we acquired H Street Building Corporation (“H Street”) which has a subsidiary that owns, among other things, a 50% tenancy in common interest in land located in Arlington County, Virginia, known as "Pentagon Row," leased to two tenants, Street Retail, Inc. and Post Apartment Homes, L.P. In April 2007, H Street acquired the remaining 50% interest in that fee. On September 25, 2008, both tenants filed suit against us and the former owners claiming the right of first offer to purchase the fee interest, damages in excess of $75,000,000 and punitive damages. In April 2010, the Trial Court entered judgment in favor of the tenants, that we sell the land to the tenants for a net sales price of $14,992,000, representing the Trial Court’s allocation of our purchase price for H Street. T he request for damages and punitive damages was denied. The Trial Court’s judgment is stayed pending the outcome of our appeal. As a result of the Trial Court’s decision, we recorded a $10,056,000 loss accrual in the three months ended March 31, 2010, primarily representing previously recognized rental income.

	Notes to preceding tabular information:

(1)	EBITDA represents "Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization." We consider EBITDA a supplemental measure for making decisions and assessing the unlevered performance of our segments as it relates to the total return on assets as opposed to the levered return on equity. As properties are bought and sold based on a multiple of EBITDA, we utilize this measure to make investment decisions as well as to compare the performance of our assets to that of our peers. EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for net income. EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.
(2)	Interest and debt expense, depreciation and amortization and income tax expense in the reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA includes our share of these items from partially owned entities.

(3)	The tables below provide information about EBITDA from certain investments that are included in the "other" column of the preceding EBITDA by segment reconciliations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Shareholders and Board of Trustees
Vornado Realty Trust
New York, New York

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Vornado Realty Trust (the "Company") as of September 30, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, and of changes in equity and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

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

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

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Vornado Realty Trust as of December 31, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 23, 2010, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements and included an explanatory paragraph relating to a change in method of accounting for debt with conversion options and noncontrolling interests in consolidated subsidiaries. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2009 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

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

Certain statements contained herein constitute forward‑looking statements as such term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. They represent our intentions, plans, expectations and beliefs and are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Our future results, financial condition and business may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. You can find many of these statements by looking for words such as “approximates,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “would,” “may” or other similar expression s in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q. Many of the factors that will determine the outcome of these and our other forward-looking statements are beyond our ability to control or predict. For further discussion of factors that could materially affect the outcome of our forward-looking statements, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. For these statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or the date of any document incorporated by reference. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. We do not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to our forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations includes a discussion of our consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us 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.

Critical Accounting Policies

A summary of our critical accounting policies is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition. There have been no significant changes to our policies during 2010.

Overview

Business Objective and Operating Strategy

Our business objective is to maximize shareholder value, which we measure by the total return provided to our shareholders. Below is a table comparing our performance to the Morgan Stanley REIT Index (“RMS”) and the SNL REIT Index (“SNL”) for the following periods ended September 30, 2010:

		Total Return⁽¹⁾
		Vornado	RMS	SNL
	One-year	37.1%	30.5%	31.1%
	Three-year	(15.6%)	(18.8%)	(16.2%)
	Five-year	18.7%	9.8%	13.0%
	Ten-year	290.6%	169.3%	184.1%


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

We intend to achieve our business objective by continuing to pursue our investment philosophy and executing our operating strategies through:

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

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

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

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

· Investing in fully-integrated operating companies that have a significant real estate component; and

· Developing and redeveloping our existing properties to increase returns and maximize value.

We expect to finance our growth, acquisitions and investments using internally generated funds, proceeds from possible asset sales and by accessing the public and private capital markets. We may also offer Vornado common or preferred shares or Operating Partnership units in exchange for property and may repurchase or otherwise reacquire our shares or any other securities in the future.

We have a large concentration of properties in the New York City metropolitan area and in the Washington, DC and Northern Virginia areas. We compete with a large number of real estate property owners and developers, some of which may be willing to accept lower returns on their investments. Principal factors of competition are rents charged, attractiveness of location, the quality of the property and breadth and quality of services provided. Our success depends upon, among other factors, trends of the national, regional and local economies, financial condition and operating results of current and prospective tenants and customers, availability and cost of capital, construction and renovation costs, taxes, governmental regulations, legislation and population trends. See “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our Annual Report on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 for additional information regarding these factors.

The economic recession and illiquidity and volatility in the financial and capital markets during 2008 and 2009 negatively affected substantially all businesses, including ours. Although signs of an economic recovery in 2010 have emerged, it is not possible for us to quantify the timing and impact of such a recovery, or lack thereof, on our future financial results.

2010 Acquisitions and Significant Investments

Investment in J.C. Penney Company, Inc. (“J.C. Penney”) (NYSE: JCP)

We currently own an economic interest in 23,400,000 common shares of J.C Penney, or 9.9% of its outstanding common shares. Below are the details of our investment.

In September 2010, we acquired 2,684,010 common shares at an average price of $26.87 per share, or $72,107,000 in the aggregate. These shares are included as a component of marketable equity securities on our consolidated balance sheet and are classified as “available for sale.” Gains or losses resulting from the mark-to-market of these shares are recognized as an increase or decrease in “accumulated other comprehensive income” (a component of shareholders’ equity on our consolidated balance sheet) and not recognized in income. In the quarter ended September 30, 2010, we recognized an $845,000 unrealized gain based on J.C. Penney’s September 30, 2010 closing share price of $27.18 per share. In October 2010, we acquired an additional 400,000 common shares at an average price of $27.46 per share, or $10,983,000 in the agg regate. Accordingly, we currently own 3,084,010 common shares at an average price of $26.94 per share, or $83,090,000 in the aggregate.

On September 28, 2010, we acquired call options to purchase 15,500,000 common shares at a strike price of $12.2437 per share for $199,265,000, which expire on March 27, 2012. We may exercise all or portions of the options prior to expiration. The options may be settled, at our election, in cash or common shares. These options are derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Gains or losses resulting from the mark-to-market of the derivative instruments are recognized as an increase or decrease in “interest and other investment income (loss), net” on our consolidated statement of income. In the quarter ended September 30, 2010, we recognized a $32,249,000 net gain, based on J.C. Penney’s September 30, 2010 closing share price of $27.18 per share and our weighted average cost of $25.10 per share. At September 30, 2010, the $199,265,000 cost of the options and the $32,249,000 mark-to-market increase in the value of the options are included in “other assets” and the $199,265,000 settled on October 1, 2010, is included in “other liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheet.

On October 7, 2010, we entered into a forward contract to acquire 4,815,990 common shares at an initial weighted average strike price of $28.41 per share. We may accelerate settlement, in whole or in part, at any time prior to October 9, 2012. The counterparty may accelerate settlement, in whole or in part, upon one year’s notice to us. The forward contract may be settled, at our election, in cash or common shares. Pursuant to the terms of the contract, the strike price for each share increases at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 80 basis points and decreases for dividends received on the shares. The contract is a derivative instrument that does not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Gains or losses resulting from the mark-to-market of the derivative instrument are recognized as an increase or decrease in “interest and other i nvestment income (loss), net” on our consolidated statement of income.

Investment in LNR Property Corporation (“LNR”)

On July 29, 2010, as a part of LNR’s recapitalization, we acquired a 26.2% equity interest in LNR for $116,000,000 in cash and conversion into equity of our $15,000,000 mezzanine loan (the then current carrying amount) made to LNR’s parent, Riley Holdco Corp. The recapitalization involved an infusion of a total of $417,000,000 in new cash equity and the reduction of LNR’s total debt to $425,000,000 from $1.3 billion, excluding liabilities related to the consolidated CMBS and CDO trusts described below. We account for our equity interest in LNR under the equity method. Upon finalization of purchase accounting in the fourth quarter, we will recognize our 26.2% pro rata share of LNR’s earnings for the period from July 29, 2010 (date of acquisition) to September 30, 2010, which will not be material to our consolidated statements of income, as well as our share of their fourth quarter earnings.

2010 Acquisitions and Significant Investments

Vornado Capital Partners L.P.

On July 6, 2010, we completed the first closing of Vornado Capital Partners, L.P., our real estate investment fund (the “Fund”), with aggregate equity commitments of $550,000,000, of which we committed $200,000,000. We expect to raise an additional $450,000,000 bringing total commitments to $1 billion. We are the general partner and investment manager of the Fund and it is our exclusive investment vehicle during the three-year investment period for all investments that fit within the Fund’s investment parameters, including debt, equity and other interests in real estate, and excluding (i) investments in vacant land and ground-up development; (ii) investments acquired by merger or primarily for our securities or properties; (iii) properties which can be combined with or relate to our exis ting properties; (iv) securities of commercial mortgage loan servicers and investments derived from any such investments; (v) noncontrolling interests in equity and debt securities; and (vi) investments located outside of North America. The Fund has a term of eight years from the final closing date. The Fund is accounted for under the AICPA Investment Company Guide and its investments are reported on its balance sheet at fair value, with changes in value each period recognized in earnings. We consolidate the accounts of the Fund into our consolidated financial statements. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we expensed $3,752,000 and $6,482,000, respectively, for organization costs which are included as a component of “general and administrative” expenses on our consolidated statement of income.

In September 2010, the Fund received $59,240,000 of capital from partners, including $21,542,000 from us. In October 2010, the Fund received an additional $53,300,000 of capital from partners, including $19,382,000 from us, for total capital contributions to date of $112,540,000. In the third quarter of 2010, the Fund acquired two investments aggregating $42,500,000 in cash and in October 2010, the Fund acquired a third investment for $168,000,000, of which $100,000,000 was mortgage financed and $68,000,000 was paid in cash. In addition, the Fund reimbursed us for $1,500,000 of organization costs.

2010 Financing Activities

In 2010, through open market repurchases and tender offers, we purchased $257,324,000 aggregate face amount ($252,048,000 aggregate carrying amount) of our convertible senior debentures and $17,000,000 aggregate face amount ($16,981,000 aggregate carrying amount) of our senior unsecured notes for $261,420,000 and $17,382,000 in cash, respectively.

In August 2010, we sold $660,000,000 of 10-year mortgage notes in a single issuer securitization. The notes are comprised of a $600,000,000 fixed rate component and a $60,000,000 variable rate component and are cross-collateralized by 40 strip shopping centers in the Mid-Atlantic region. The $600,000,000 fixed rate portion bears interest at an initial rate of 4.18% and a weighted average rate of 4.31% over the 10-year term and amortizes based on a 30-year schedule. The variable rate portion bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.36%, with a 1% floor (2.36% at September 30, 2010).

In March 2010, we completed a public offering of $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.25% senior unsecured notes due April 1, 2015. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1, commencing on October 1, 2010. The notes were sold at 99.834% of their face amount to yield 4.287%. The notes can be redeemed without penalty beginning January 1, 2015. We retained net proceeds of approximately $496,000,000.

Net Income and EBITDA by Segment for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 - continued

Notes to preceding tabular information:

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

(2) Interest and debt expense, depreciation and amortization and income tax expense in the reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA includes our share of these items from partially owned entities.

(3) The tables below provide information about EBITDA from certain investments that are included in the “other” column of the preceding EBITDA by segment reconciliations. The totals for each of the columns below agree to the total EBITDA for the “other” column in the preceding EBITDA by segment reconciliations.

Same Store EBITDA

Same store EBITDA represents EBITDA from property level operations which are owned by us in both the current and prior year reporting periods. Same store EBITDA excludes segment-level overhead expenses, which are expenses that we do not consider to be property-level expenses, as well as other non-operating items. We present same store EBITDA on both a GAAP basis and a cash basis, which excludes income from the straight-lining of rents, amortization of below-market leases, net of above-market leases and other non-cash adjustments. We present these non-GAAP measures to (i) facilitate meaningful comparisons of the operational performance of our properties and segments, (ii) make decisions on whether to buy, sell or refinance properties, and (iii) compare the performance of our properties and segments to those of our peers. Same store EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operations and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

Below are the same store EBITDA results on a GAAP and cash basis for each of our segments for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

Three Months Ended September 30, 2010 vs. Three Months Ended June 30, 2010

Our revenues and expenses are subject to seasonality during the year which impacts quarterly net earnings, cash flows and funds from operations, and therefore impacts comparisons of the current quarter to the previous quarter. The business of Toys is highly seasonal. Historically, Toys’ fourth quarter net income, which we record on a one-quarter lag basis in our first quarter, accounts for more than 80% of Toys’ fiscal year net income. The Office and Merchandise Mart segments have historically experienced higher utility costs in the first and third quarters of the year. The Merchandise Mart segment also has experienced higher earnings in the second and fourth quarters of the year due to major trade shows occurring in those quarters. The Retail segment revenue in the fourth quarter is typically higher due to the recognition of percentage rental income. Below are the same store EBITDA results on a GAAP and cash basis for each of our segments for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Property rental income is our primary source of cash flow and is dependent upon the occupancy and rental rates of our properties. Other sources of liquidity to fund cash requirements include proceeds from debt financings, including mortgage loans, senior unsecured borrowings, and our revolving credit facilities; proceeds from the issuance of common and preferred equity; and asset sales. Our cash requirements include property operating expenses, capital improvements, tenant improvements, leasing commissions, distributions to common and preferred shareholders, as well as acquisition and development costs. Our cash and cash equivalents were $846,254,000 at September 30, 2010, a $310,775,000 increase over the balance at December 31, 2009. This increase resulted from $594,721,000 of net cash provided by operating activities, $61,205,000 of net cash p rovided by investing activities, partially offset by $345,151,000 of net cash used in financing activities. Our consolidated outstanding debt was $11,110,047,000 at September 30, 2010, a $170,432,000 increase over the balance at December 31, 2009.

We anticipate that cash flow from continuing operations over the next twelve months will be adequate to fund our business operations, cash distributions to unitholders of the Operating Partnership, cash dividends to shareholders, debt amortization and recurring capital expenditures. During the remainder of 2010 and 2011, $184,000,000 and $2,087,000,000 of our outstanding debt matures, respectively. We may refinance such debt or choose to repay all or a portion, using existing cash balances or our revolving credit facilities. Capital requirements for development expenditures and acquisitions (excluding Fund acquisitions as described below), may require funding from borrowings and/or equity offerings. We may from time to time purchase or retire outstanding debt securities. Such purchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements and other factors. The amounts involved in connection with these transactions could be material to our consolidated financial statements.

In the fourth quarter of 2009 and the first quarter of 2010, we notified the master servicers of three non-recourse loans secured by properties in San Francisco, California, High Point, North Carolina, and Springfield, Virginia that the cash flows generated from these properties were insufficient to fund debt service payments and that we were not prepared to fund any cash shortfalls. Accordingly, we requested that each of these loans be placed with their respective special servicers. We have ceased making debt service payments on these loans and are in default. These defaults have not had, nor are expected to have, any material impact on our current or future business operations, our ability to raise capital or our credit ratings. On October 14, 2010, the special servicer of the loan secured by our San Francisco property foreclosed on the proper ty. As a result, in the fourth quarter, we will remove this property and related debt from our consolidated balance sheet, which will not have a material impact on our consolidated statement of income. In October 2010, the special servicer of the loan secured by our property in High Point, North Carolina filed a motion to place the property in receivership. We continue to negotiate with the special servicer of the loan secured by our property in Springfield, Virginia. There can be no assurance as to the timing and ultimate resolution of these matters. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we have accrued $5,887,000 and $12,445,000, respectively, of default interest on these loans.

We have raised, and may continue to raise, capital for future real estate acquisitions through our Real Estate Fund. On July 6, 2010, we completed the first closing of the Fund with aggregate equity commitments of $550,000,000, of which we committed $200,000,000. We expect to raise an additional $450,000,000 bringing total commitments to $1 billion. We are the general partner and investment manager of the Fund and it is our exclusive investment vehicle for all investments that fit within the Fund’s investment parameters during its three-year investment period.

Recurring capital improvements include expenditures to maintain a property’s competitive position within the market and tenant improvements and leasing commissions necessary to re-lease expiring leases or renew or extend existing leases. Non-recurring capital improvements include expenditures completed in the year of acquisition and the following two years that were planned at the time of acquisition as well as tenant improvements and leasing commissions for space that was vacant at the time of acquisition of a property. Our development and redevelopment expenditures include all hard and soft costs associated with the development or redevelopment of a property, including tenant improvements, leasing commissions , capitalized interest and operating costs until the property is substantially complete and ready for its intended use.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS (“FFO”)

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 GAAP net income or loss adjusted to exclude net gains from sales of depreciated real estate assets, depreciation and amortization expense from real estate assets, extraordinary items and other specified non-cash items, including the pro rata share of such adjustments of unconsolidated subsidiaries. FFO and FFO per diluted share are used by management, investors and analysts to facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and among our peers because it excludes the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization and net gains on sales, which are based on historical costs and implicitly assume that the value of real estate diminishes predictably o ver time, rather than fluctuating based on existing market conditions. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash requirements and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a performance measure or cash flow as a liquidity measure. FFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. The calculations of both the numerator and denominator used in the computation of income per share are disclosed in footnote 17 – Income Per Share, in the notes to our consolidated financial statements on page 27 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

FFO for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010, and 2009

FFO attributable to common shareholders plus assumed conversions for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $248,964,000, or $1.31 per diluted share, compared to $234,246,000, or $1.25 per diluted share for the prior year’s quarter. FFO attributable to common shareholders plus assumed conversions for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $814,030,000 or $4.29 per diluted share, compared to $602,825,000, or $3.42 per diluted share for the prior year’s nine months. Details of certain items that affect comparability are discussed in the financial results summary of our “Overview.”

We have exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates. Market interest rates are sensitive to many factors that are beyond our control. Our exposure to a change in interest rates on our consolidated and non-consolidated debt (all of which arises out of non-trading activity) is as follows:

(Amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)			As at September 30, 2010						As at December 31, 2009
						Weighted	Effect of 1%				Weighted
						Average	Change In				Average
Consolidated debt:			Balance			Interest Rate	Base Rates		Balance		Interest Rate
	Variable rate		$	1,991,624		2.11%	$	19,916	$	2,657,972		1.67%
	Fixed rate			9,118,423		5.88%		-		8,281,643		5.89%
			$	11,110,047		5.20%		19,916	$	10,939,615		4.86%
Pro-rata share of debt of non-
	consolidated entities (non-recourse):
Variable rate – excluding Toys			$	420,375		1.85%		4,204	$	331,980		2.87%
	Variable rate – Toys			429,304		4.68%		4,293		852,040		3.45%
	Fixed rate (including $1,295,184 and
		$1,077,919 of Toys debt in 2010 and 2009)		2,150,818	⁽¹⁾	7.37%		-		1,965,620		7.16%
			$	3,000,497		6.21%		8,497	$	3,149,640		5.70%
Redeemable noncontrolling interests’ share of above								(2,032)
Total change in annual net income							$	26,381
Per share-diluted							$	0.14



(1)	Excludes $37 billion for our 26.2% pro rata shares of liabilities related to consolidated CMBS and CDO trusts which are non-recourse to LNR and its equity holders, including us.

We may utilize various financial instruments to mitigate the impact of interest rate fluctuations on our cash flows and earnings, including hedging strategies, depending on our analysis of the interest rate environment and the costs and risks of such strategies. As of September 30, 2010, variable rate debt with an aggregate principal amount of $567,711,408 and a weighted average interest rate of 2.49% was subject to LIBOR caps. These caps are based on a notional amount of $567,711,408 and cap LIBOR at a weighted average rate of 6.18%.

Fair Value of Debt

The estimated fair value of our consolidated debt is calculated based on current market prices and discounted cash flows at the current rate at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings for the remaining term of such debt. As of September 30, 2010, the estimated fair value of our consolidated debt was $11,325,568,000.

Derivative Instruments

We have, and may in the future enter into, derivative positions that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, including our economic interest in J.C. Penney common shares. Because these derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, the gains or losses resulting from their mark-to-market at the end of each reporting period are recognized as an increase or decrease in “interest and other investment income (loss), net” on our consolidated statements of income. In addition, we are, and may in the future be, subject to additional expense based on the notional amount of the derivative positions and a specified spread over LIBOR. Because the market value of these instruments can vary significantly between periods, we may experience significant fluctuations in the amount of our i nvestment income or expense in any given period. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recognized a $32,249,000 net gain from the mark-to-market of our derivative position in J.C. Penney's common shares.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures: The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a‑15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report.

EXHIBIT 10.42

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated as of September 24, 2010 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Vornado Realty Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust, with its principal offices at 888 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10106 (the “Company”) and Michael J. Franco (“Executive”).

Recitals

The Company and Executive desire to set forth the terms upon which the Executive will enter into employment with the Company or its affiliates;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants set forth below, the parties hereby agree as follows:

Agreement

1. Employment. The Company hereby agrees to employ Executive as Executive Vice President and Co-Head of Acquisitions, and Executive hereby accepts such employment, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

2. Term. The period of employment of Executive by the Company hereunder (the “Employment Period”) will commence on the Commencement Date (as defined below) and shall continue through the third anniversary of the Effective Date; provided that, commencing on such third anniversary, and on each anniversary thereafter, the Employment Period will automatically be extended for one additional year unless either party gives written notice not to extend this Agreement prior to 120 days before such three-year or one-year anniversary. The Employment Period may be sooner terminated by either party in accordance with Section 6 of this Agreement. The “Commencement Date” is expected to be no earlier than October 1, 2010 but may be extended by the Executive until the first business day following the expiration of a “gardening leave” (the “Gardening Leave”) which may be required by Executive’s current employer (the “Current Employer”) subject to the provisions of the immediately succeeding sentence. The Executive will give written notice to his Current Employer of his resignation from his current position within three days of the Effective date and the period of the gardening leave may not exceed 90 days without the consent of the Company.

3. Position and Duties. During the Employment Period, Executive will serve as Executive Vice President and Co-Head of Acquisitions (or such other position as the parties may agree), and will report solely and directly to the Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Company. Executive will have those powers and duties normally associated with the position of Executive Vice President and Co-Head of Acquisitions and such other powers and duties as may be prescribed by the Chief Executive Officer, Chairman or the Board of Trustees of the Company, provided that such other powers and duties are consistent with Executive’s position as Executive Vice President and Co-Head of Acquisitions of the Company. In such capacity, acquisitions personnel located in the New York City office of the Company (other, to the extent applicable, than any current Company employee with the current title of Executive Vice President or higher) will report directly to Executive (if applicable, jointly with reporting obligations to other division heads or Co-Heads). Executive will devote substantially all of his working time, attention and energies during normal business hours (other than absences due to illness or vacation) to the performance of his duties for the Company. Without the consent of the Company, during the Employment Period, Executive will not serve on the board of directors or any similar governing body of any for-profit entity. Notwithstanding the above, Executive will be permitted, to the extent such activities do not substantially interfere with the performance by Executive of his duties and responsibilities hereunder or violate Section 10(a), (b) or (c) of this Agreement, t o (i) manage Executive’s personal, financial and legal affairs, and (ii) serve on civic or charitable boards or committees (it being expressly understood and agreed that Executive’s continuing to serve on any such board and/or committees on which Executive is serving, or with which Executive is otherwise associated, as of the Commencement Date (each of which has been disclosed to the Company prior to the execution of this Agreement), will be deemed not to interfere with the performance by Executive of his duties and responsibilities under this Agreement).

4. Place of Performance. The principal place of employment of Executive will be at the Company’s principal executive offices in New York, New York.

5. Compensation and Related Matters.

(a) Base Salary. During the Employment Period the Company will pay Executive a base salary at the rate of not less than $1,000,000 per year (“Base Salary”). Executive’s Base Salary will be paid in approximately equal installments in a ccordance with the Company’s customary payroll practices. If Executive’s Base Salary is increased by the Company, such increased Base Salary will then constitute the Base Salary for all purposes of this Agreement. To the extent the Gardening Leave has expired and Executive can and desires to commence his employment with the Company on or after October 1, 2010, but the Company does not wish Executive to commence his employment with the Company on such date, the Company will commence paying Executive the Base Salary as of such date.

(b) Annual Bonus. During the Employment Period, Executive will be entitled to receive an annual bonus (payable in cash and/or equity of the Company) on the same basis as other senior executives commensurate with his position with the Company to be determined in the discretion of the Company. The target for the value of the annual bonus will be $1,000,000 (but, such bonus will be at the discretion of the Company).

(c) Annual and Long-Term Incentive Awards. During the Employment Period, Executive will be eligible to participate in the Company’s annual and long-term incentive compensation plans on the same basis as other senior executives commensurate with his position with the Company to be determined in the discretion of the Company.

(d) Welfare, Pension and Incentive Benefit Plans. During the Employment Period, Executive will be entitled to participate in such employee pension and welfare benefit plans and programs of the Company as are made available to the Company’s senior level executives or to its employees generally, as such plans or programs may be in effect from time to time, including, without limitation, health, medical, dental, long-term disability and life insurance plans.

(e) Expenses. The Company will promptly reimburse Executive for all reasonable business expenses upon the presentation of reasonably itemized statements of such expenses in accordance with the Company’s policies and procedures now in force or as such policies and procedures may be modified with respect to all senior executive officers of the Company.

(f) Vacation. Executive will be entitled to four weeks of vacation annually.

(g) Car Allowance. The Company will pay to Executive a car allowance equal to $1,000 per month.

(h) Initial Equity Grant. In connection with the commencement of Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive will be entitled to a grant of equity in the Company having a value equal to $2,000,000 at the date of grant with such value to be allocated, in accordance with the Company’s normal valuation procedures, equally between (a) options to acquire common shares of beneficial interest in the Company and (b) restricted share s in the Company or restricted units in the Company’s operating partnership, Vornado Realty L.P. (the “Initial Award”). The Initial Award will vest ratably over four years from the date of grant and, as soon as practicable, the Company will request that the Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Company approve the Initial Award and in any event the Company will make such request within 30 days of the Commencement Date.

(i) 2010 Salary and Bonus. The annual salary and bonus for Executive payable for 2010 (the “2010 Salary and Bonus”) will be prorated from the Commencement Date (or, if applicable, as provided in subsection 5(a), such earlier date) with the 2010 bonus being paid on the basis of a non-prorated value equal to $1,000,000 and otherwise on the same basis as bonuses for 2010 are paid to other senior executives of the Company.

(j) 2011 Bonus. The annual bonus paid to the Executive for the 2011 year (the “2011 Bonus”) will not be less than $500,000 payable on the same basis as bonuses for 2011 are paid to other senior executives of the Company; provided that not less than $500,000 will be paid in cash.

(k) Commencement Bonus. In addition to any other bonuses paid to Executive in or for 2010, the Company will pay to Executive a cash bonus (the “Commencement Bonus”) equal to 50% multiplied by the result of (i) $666,667 minus (ii) the actual bonus paid to Executive by his Current Employer upon or with respect to his departure from such employment; provided in no event will the Commencement Bonus exceed $250,000. The Commencement Bonus will be paid at the same time as the bonus paid for 2010 as provide in subparagraph (i).

6. Reasons for Termination. Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated during the Employment Period under the following circumstances:

(a) Death. Executive’s employment hereunder will terminate upon his death.

(b) Disability. If, as a result of Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness, Executive shall have been substantially unable to perform his duties hereunder for an entire period of 180 days, and within 30 days after written Notice of Termination is given after such 180-day period, Executive shall not have returned to the substantial performance of his duties on a full-time basis, the Company will have the right to terminat e Executive’s employment hereunder for “Disability”, and such termination in and of itself shall not be, nor shall it be deemed to be, a breach of this Agreement.

(c) Cause. The Company will have the right to terminate Executive’s employment for Cause, and such termination in and of itself shall not be, nor shall it be deemed to be, a breach of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the Company will have “Cause” to terminate Executive’s employment upon Executive’s:

(i) conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony;

(ii) willful and continued failure to use reasonable best efforts to substantially perform his duties hereunder (other than such failure resulting from Executive’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness or subsequent to the issuance of a Notice of Termination by Executive for Good Reason) after demand for substantial performance is delivered by the Company in writing that specifically identifies the manner in which the Company believes Executive has not used reasonable best efforts to substantially perform his duties; or

(iii) willful misconduct (including, but not limited to, a willful breach of the provisions of Section 10) that is materially economically injurious to the Company.

For purposes of this Section 6(c), no act, or failure to act, by Executive will be considered “willful” unless committed in bad faith and without a reasonable belief that the act or omission was in the best interests of the Company. Cause will not exist under paragraph (ii) or (iii) above unless and until the Company has delivered to Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted by a majority of th e members of the Board of Trustees of the Company or of the Compensation Committee or Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee thereof (excluding, if applicable, Executive for purposes of determining such majority) at a meeting of the Board or such committee called and held for such purpose (after reasonable (but in no event less than 30 days) notice to Executive and an opportunity for Executive, together with his counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board, Executive was guilty of the conduct set forth in paragraph (ii) or (iii) and specifying the particulars thereof in detail. This Section 6(c) shall not prevent Executive from challenging in any court of competent jurisdiction the Board’s determination that Cause exists or that Executive has failed to cure any act (or failure to act) that purportedly formed the basis for the Board’s determination.

(d) Good Reason. Executive may terminate his employment for “Good Reason” within 60 days after Executive has actual knowledge of the occurrence, without the written consent of Executive, of one of the following events that has not been cured with in 30 days after written notice thereof has been given by Executive to the Company (provided that such notice must be given to the Company within 30 days of the Executive becoming aware of such condition):

(i) the assignment to Executive of duties materially and adversely inconsistent with Executive’s status as Executive Vice President and Co-Head of Acquisitions of the Company or a material and adverse alteration in the nature of Executive’s duties, responsibilities or authority;

(ii) a change in reporting responsibilities such that Executive no longer reports to the Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Company;

(iii) a reduction by the Company in Executive’s Base Salary;

(iv) the relocation of the Company’s principal executive offices or Executive’s own office location to a location outside of New York City or Paramus, New Jersey (if other senior executive officers are relocated to the Paramus office); or

(v) the Company’s material breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

Executive’s right to terminate his employment hereunder for Good Reason shall not be affected by his incapacity due to physical or mental illness. Executive’s continued employment during the 60-day period referred to above in this paragraph (d) shall not constitute consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect to, any act or failure to act constituting Good Reason hereunder.

(e) Without Cause. The Company will have the right to terminate Executive’s employment hereunder without Cause by providing Executive with a Notice of Termination, and such termination shall not in and of itself be, nor shall it be deemed to be, a breach of this Agreement. This means that, notwithstanding this Agreement, Executive’s employment with the Company will be “at will.”

(f) Without Good Reason. Executive will have the right to terminate his employment hereunder without Good Reason by providing the Company with a Notice of Termination, and such termination shall not in and of itself be, nor shall it be deemed to be, a breach of this Agreement.

7. Termination Procedure.

(a) Notice of Termination. Any termination of Executive’s employment by the Company or by Executive during the Employment Period (other than termination pursuant to Section 6(a)) will be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto in accordance with Section 13. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” means a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated.

(b) Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” means (i) if Executive’s employment is terminated by his death, the date of his death, (ii) if Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to Section 6(b) (Disability), 30 days after Notice of Termination (provided that Executive shall not have returned to the substantial performance of his duties on a full-time basis during such 30-day period), and (iii) if Executive’s employment is terminated for any other reason, the date on which a Notice of Termination is given or any later date (within 30 days after the giving of such notice) set forth in such Notice of Termination.

8. Compensation upon Termination. If Executive suffers or incurs a Disability as defined in Section 6(b) or his employment terminates during the Employment Period, the Company shall provide Executive with the payments and benefits set forth below, all subject to Section 8(e) hereof. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the payments set forth in this Section 8 constitute liquidated damages for termination of his employment during the Employment Period. Except as may be required by law, rule, regulation, the requirement of a stock exchange or rating agency or similar requirement or as may result from shareholder initiative or similar action that applies to other Senior Executives in addition to Executive, upon termination of Executive, all equity grants then vested will not be forfeitable.

(a) Termination for Cause or by Executive without Good Reason. If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause or by Executive (other than for Good Reason), the Company’s obligation to Executive will be limited to:

(i) his accrued Base Salary and accrued vacation pay through the Date of Termination, and any reimbursements due to the Executive pursuant to Section 5(e) (unless such termination occurred as a result of misappropriation of funds) and not yet paid, as soon as practicable following the Date of Termination (“Accrued Benefits”); and

(ii) any other rights, compensation and/or benefits as may be due to Executive in accordance with the terms and provisions of any agreements, plans or programs of the Company.

(b) Termination by Company without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason. If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason, Executive will be entitled to rights provided in Section 8(a) hereof, in add ition to the following:

(i) the Company shall pay to Executive an amount equal to one times the sum of the Executive’s (A) current Base Salary, and (B) average annual incentive bonus earned by Executive, if any, for each of the two fiscal years immediately preceding the Date of Termination (but, for the purposes of this provision, such average annual incentive bonus will not to be less than $500,000);

(ii) all then outstanding unvested equity grants awarded to Executive by the Company will vest on the date immediately preceding the Date of Termination; and

(iii) if the Date of Termination is prior to December 31, 2011, then Executive will also be entitled to receive (A) all then unpaid 2010 Salary and Bonus, Commencement Bonus and (B) to the extent not already paid or paid pursuant to another provision hereof, any 2011 salary through the remainder of 2011 and the 2011 Bonus.

(c) Disability. During any period that Executive fails to perform his duties hereunder as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness (“Disability Period”), Executive will continue to receive his full Base Salary set forth in Section 5(a) until his employment is terminated pursuant to Section 6(b). In the event Executive’s employment is terminated for Disability pursuant to Section 6(b), Executive will be entitled to rights provided in Section 8(a) hereof. The rights of Executi ve with respect to the acceleration of vesting of equity awards on termination for Disability will be as set forth in the applicable award agreements (applicable as of the date of grant to senior executives generally).

(d) Death. If Executive’s employment is terminated by his death, the Executive’s beneficiary, legal representative or estate, as the case may be, will be entitled to rights provided in Section 8(a) hereof. The rights of Executive with respe ct to the acceleration of vesting of equity awards on termination for death will be as set forth in the applicable award agreements (applicable as of the date of grant to senior executives generally).
