SL Green Realty Corp.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

June 30, 2007

1.  Organization and Basis of Presentation

SL Green Realty Corp., also referred to as the Company or SL Green, a Maryland corporation, and SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P., or the operating partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, were formed in June 1997 for the purpose of combining the commercial real estate business of S.L. Green Properties, Inc. and its affiliated partnerships and entities.  The operating partnership received a contribution of interest in the real estate properties, as well as 95% of the economic interest in the management, leasing and construction companies which are referred to as the Service Corporation.  The Company has qualified, and expects to qualify in the current fiscal year, as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, and operates as a self-administered, self-managed REIT.  A REIT is a legal entity that holds real estate interests and, through payments of dividends to stockholders, is permitted to reduce or avoid the payment of Federal income taxes at the corporate level.  Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to “we,” “our” and “us” means the Company and all entities owned or controlled by the Company, including the operating partnership.

Substantially all of our assets are held by, and our operations are conducted through, the operating partnership.  The Company is the sole managing general partner of the operating partnership.  As of June 30, 2007, minority investors held, in the aggregate, a 3.8% limited partnership interest in the operating partnership.

On January 25, 2007, we completed the acquisition, or the Reckson Merger, of all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Reckson Associates Realty Corp., or Reckson, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 3, 2006, as amended, the Merger Agreement, among SL Green, Wyoming Acquisition Corp., or Wyoming, Wyoming Acquisition GP LLC, Wyoming Acquisition Partnership LP, Reckson and Reckson Operating Partnership, L.P., or ROP. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Reckson were converted into (i) $31.68 in cash, (ii) 0.10387 of a share of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of SL Green and (iii) a prorated dividend in an amount equal to approximately $0.0977 in cash. We also assumed an aggregate of approximately $226.3 million of Reckson mortgage debt, approximately $287.5 million of Reckson convertible public debt and approximately $967.8 million of Reckson public unsecured notes.  ROP is a subsidiary of our operating partnership.

On January 25, 2007, we completed the sale, or Asset Sale, of certain assets of ROP to an asset purchasing venture led by certain of Reckson’s former executive management, or the Buyer, for a total consideration of approximately $2.0 billion. SL Green caused ROP to transfer the following assets to the Buyer in the Asset Sale: (1) certain real property assets and/or entities owning such real property assets, in either case, of ROP and 100% of certain loans secured by real property, all of which are located in Long Island, New York; (2) certain real property assets and/or entities owning such real property assets, in either case, of ROP located in White Plains and Harrison, New York; (3) all of the real property assets and/or entities owning 100% of the interests in such real property assets, in either case, of ROP located in New Jersey; (4) the entity owning a 25% interest in Reckson Australia Operating Company LLC, Reckson’s Australian management company (including its Australian licensed responsible entity), and other related entities, and ROP and ROP subsidiaries’ rights to and interests in, all related contracts and assets, including, without limitation, property management and leasing, construction services and asset management contracts and services contracts; (5) the direct or indirect interest of Reckson in Reckson Asset Partners, LLC, an affiliate of RSVP and all of ROP’s rights in and to certain loans made by ROP to Frontline Capital Group, the bankrupt parent of RSVP, and other related entities, which will be purchased by a 50/50 joint venture with an affiliate of SL Green; (6) a 50% participation interest in certain loans made by a subsidiary of ROP that are secured by four real property assets located in Long Island, New York; and (7) 100% of certain loans secured by real property located in White Plains and New Rochelle, New York.

As of June 30, 2007, we owned the following interests in commercial office properties primarily in midtown Manhattan, a borough of New York City, or Manhattan, as well as Long Island City, Westchester County, Connecticut and New Jersey, which are collectively known as the Suburban assets:

We also own an aggregate of approximately 285,000 square feet of retail (nine) properties.  In addition, we manage three office properties owned by third parties and affiliated companies encompassing approximately 1.0 million rentable square feet.

We also own approximately 25% of the outstanding common stock of Gramercy Capital Corp. (NYSE: GKK), or Gramercy, as well as 64.83 units of the Class B limited partner interest in Gramercy’s operating partnership.  See Note 6.

Partnership Agreement

In accordance with the partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership, or the Operating Partnership Agreement, we allocate all distributions and profits and losses in proportion to the percentage ownership interests of the respective partners.  As the managing general partner of the Operating Partnership, we are required to take such reasonable efforts, as determined by us in our sole discretion, to cause the Operating Partnership to distribute sufficient amounts to enable the payment of sufficient dividends by us to avoid any Federal income or excise tax at the Company level. Under the Operating Partnership Agreement each limited partner will have the right to redeem units of limited partnership interest for cash, or if we so elect, shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis.  In addition, we are prohibited from selling 673 First Avenue and 470 Park Avenue South before August 2009.

Basis of Quarterly Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included.  The 2007 operating results for the period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2006 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries, which are wholly-owned or controlled by us or entities which are variable interest entities in which we are the primary beneficiary under the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Interpretation No. 46, or FIN 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities - an Interpretation of ARB No. 51,” and FIN 46, “Interpretation No. 46R, or FIN 46R.” See Note 5, Note 6 and Note 7.  Entities which we do not control and entities which are variable interest entities, but where we are not the primary beneficiary are accounted for under the equity method.  We consolidate variable interest entities in which we are determined to be the primary beneficiary.  The interest that we do not own is included in “Minority Interest-Other Partnerships” on the balance sheet.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

In June 2005, the FASB ratified the consensus in EITF Issue No. 04-5, or EITF 04-5, “Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights,” which provides guidance in determining whether a general partner controls a limited partnership. EITF 04-5 states that the general partner in a limited partnership is presumed to control that limited partnership. The presumption may be overcome if the limited partners have either (1) the substantive ability to dissolve the limited partnership or otherwise remove the general partner without cause or (2) substantive participating rights, which provide the limited partners with the ability to effectively participate in significant decisions that would be expected to be made in the ordinary course of the limited partnership’s business and thereby preclude the general partner from exercising unilateral control over the partnership. Our adoption of EITF 04-5 did not have any effect on net income or stockholders’ equity.

We consolidate our investment in 919 Third Avenue as we own a 51% controlling interest.

Investment in Commercial Real Estate Properties

In accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” we allocate the purchase price of real estate to land and building and, if determined to be material, intangibles, such as the value of above, below and at-market leases and origination costs associated with the in-place leases.  We depreciate the amount allocated to building and other intangible assets over their estimated useful lives, which generally range from three to 40 years.  The values of the above and below market leases are amortized and recorded as either an increase (in the case of below market leases) or a decrease (in the case of above market leases) to rental income over the remaining

term of the associated lease.  The value associated with in-place leases and tenant relationships are amortized over the expected term of the relationship, which includes an estimated probability of the lease renewal, and its estimated term.  If a tenant vacates its space prior to the contractual termination of the lease and no rental payments are being made on the lease, any unamortized balance of the related intangible will be written off.  The tenant improvements and origination costs are amortized as an expense over the remaining life of the lease (or charged against earnings if the lease is terminated prior to its contractual expiration date).  We assess fair value of the leases based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information.  Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known trends, and market/economic conditions that may affect the property.

We have not yet obtained all the information necessary to finalize our estimates to complete the purchase price allocations in accordance with SFAS No. 141 related to the Reckson Merger.  The purchase price allocations will be finalized once the information we identified has been received, which should not be longer than one year from the date of acquisition.

As a result of our evaluations, under SFAS No. 141, of acquisitions made, we recognized an increase of approximately $636,000, $1.3 million, $581,000 and $921,000 in rental revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, for the amortization of below market leases and a reduction in lease origination costs, resulting from the reallocation of the purchase price of the applicable properties.  We recognized a reduction in interest expense for the amortization of the above market rate debt of approximately $1.6 million, $2.7 million, $192,000 and $381,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Income Taxes

We are taxed as a REIT under Section 856(c) of the Code.  As a REIT, we generally are not subject to Federal income tax.  To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders and meet certain other requirements.  If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to Federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates.  We may also be subject to certain state, local and franchise taxes.  Under certain circumstances, Federal income and excise taxes may be due on our undistributed taxable income.

Pursuant to amendments to the Code that became effective January 1, 2001, we have elected or may elect to treat certain of our existing or newly created corporate subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries, or TRS.  In general, a TRS of ours may perform non-customary services for our tenants, hold assets that we cannot hold directly and generally engage in any real estate or non-real estate related business.  A TRS is subject to corporate Federal income tax.  Our TRS’s generate income, resulting in Federal income tax liability for these entities.  Our TRS’s paid approximately $0.8 million and $1.1 million in estimated federal, state and local taxes during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.

Stock-Based Employee Compensation Plans

We have a stock-based employee compensation plan, described more fully in Note 12.  We account for this plan under SFAS No. 123 “Shared Based Payment,” revised, or SFAS No. 123-R.

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable.  In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility.  Because our plan has characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in our opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of our employee stock options.

Compensation cost for stock options, if any, is recognized ratably over the vesting period of the award.  Our policy is to grant options with an exercise price equal to the quoted closing market price of our stock on the grant date.  Awards of stock options or restricted stock are expensed as compensation on a current basis over the benefit period.

The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for grants during the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.

Earnings Per Share

We present both basic and diluted earnings per share, or EPS.  Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, where such exercise or conversion would result in a lower EPS amount.  This also includes units of limited partnership interest.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash investments, structured finance investments and accounts receivable.  We place our cash investments in excess of insured amounts with high quality financial institutions.  The collateral securing our structured finance investments is primarily located in the greater New York area. (See Note 5).  We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our tenants and require certain tenants to provide security deposits or letters of credit.  Though these security deposits and letters of credit are insufficient to meet the total value of a tenant’s lease obligation, they are a measure of good faith and a source of funds to offset the economic costs associated with lost rent and the costs associated with re-tenanting the space.  Although the properties in our real estate portfolio are primarily located in Manhattan, we also have properties located in Westchester, Connecticut, New Jersey and Long Island.  The tenants located in our buildings operate in various industries.  Other than one tenant at 1515 Broadway who contributed approximately 5.3% of our annualized rent, no other tenant in the portfolio contributed more than 5.1% of our annualized rent, including our share of joint venture annualized rent, at June 30, 2007.

Approximately 7%, 6%, 6% and 6% of our annualized rent, including our share of joint venture annualized rent, was attributable to 1221 Avenue of the Americas, 1515 Broadway, 420 Lexington Avenue and 1185 Avenue of the Americas, respectively, for the quarter ended June 30, 2007.  One borrower accounted for more than 10.0% of the revenue earned on structured finance investments during the three months ended June 30, 2007.

Reclassification

Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” or FIN 48. This interpretation, among other things, creates a two-step approach for evaluating uncertain tax positions. Recognition (step one) occurs when an enterprise concludes that a tax position, based solely on its technical merits, is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination. Measurement (step two) determines the amount of benefit that more-likely-than-not will be realized upon settlement. Derecognition of a tax position that was previously recognized would occur when a company subsequently determines that a tax position no longer meets the more-likely-than-not threshold of being sustained. FIN 48 specifically prohibits the use of a valuation allowance as a substitute for derecognition of tax positions, and it has expanded disclosure requirements.  FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, in which the impact of adoption should be accounted for as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings. The adoption of FIN 48, did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

3.  Property Acquisitions

In January 2007, we acquired Reckson for approximately $6.0 billion, inclusive of transaction costs.  Simultaneously, we sold approximately $2.0 billion of the Reckson assets to an asset purchasing venture led by certain of Reckson’s former executive management.  The transaction included the acquisition of 30 properties encompassing approximately 9.2 million square feet, of which five properties encompassing approximately 4.2 million square feet are located in Manhattan.

In January 2007, we acquired 300 Main Street in Stamford, Connecticut and 399 Knollwood Road in White Plains, New York for approximately $46.6 million, from affiliates of RPW Group.  These commercial office buildings encompass 275,000 square feet, inclusive of 50,000 square feet of garage parking at 300 Main Street.

In April 2007, we completed the acquisition of 331 Madison Avenue and 48 East 43rd Street for a total of $73.0 million. Both 331 Madison Avenue and 48 East 43rd Street are located adjacent to 317 Madison Avenue, a property that SL Green acquired in 2001. 331 Madison Avenue is an approximately 92,000-square foot, 14-story office building. The 22,850-square-foot 48 East 43rd Street property is a seven-story loft building that was later converted to office use.

In April 2007, we acquired the fee interest in 333 West 34th Street for approximately $183.0 million from Citigroup Global Markets Inc. The property encompasses approximately 345,000 square feet. At closing, Citigroup entered into a full building triple net lease through December 2009.

In June 2007, we, through a joint venture, acquired the second and third floors in the office tower at 717 Fifth Avenue for approximately $16.9 million.

In June 2007, we acquired 1010 Washington Avenue, CT, a 143,400 square foot office tower. The fee interest was purchased for approximately $38.0 million.

In June 2007, we acquired an office property located at 500 West Putnam Avenue in Greenwich, Connecticut. The Greenwich property, a four-story, 121,500-square-foot office building, was purchased for approximately $56.0 million.

Pro Forma

4.  Property Dispositions and Assets Held for Sale

In February 2007, we sold the fee interests in 70 West 36th Street for approximately $61.5 million, excluding closing costs.  The property is approximately 151,000 square feet.  We recognized a gain on sale of approximately $47.2 million.

In June 2007, we sold our office condominium interest in floors six through eighteen at 110 East 42nd Street for approximately $111.5 million, excluding closing costs. The property encompasses approximately 181,000 square feet. The sale does not include approximately 112,000 square feet of developable air rights, which we retained along with the ability to transfer these rights off-site. We recognized a gain on sale of approximately $84.0 million.

In June 2007, we sold our condominium interests in 125 Broad Street for approximately $273.0 million, excluding closing costs.  The property is approximately 525,000 square feet.  We recognized a gain on sale of approximately $167.9 million.

At June 30, 2007, discontinued operations included the results of operations of real estate assets sold prior to that date.  This included 286 and 290 Madison Avenue, sold in July 2006, 1140 Avenue of the Americas, sold in August 2006, and 125 Broad Street and 110 East 42nd Street sold in June 2007, and 292 Madison Avenue, which was considered as held for sale at June 30, 2007.

June 30, 2007

We assess the accounting treatment for each joint venture on a stand-alone basis. This includes a review of each joint venture or partnership LLC agreement to determine which party has what rights and whether those rights are protective or participating under EITF 04-5 and EITF 96-16. In situations where our minority partner approves the annual budget, receives a detailed monthly reporting package from us, meets with us on a quarterly basis to review the results of the joint venture, reviews and approves the joint venture’s tax return before filing, and approves all leases that cover more than a nominal amount of space relative to the total rentable space at each property we do not consolidate the joint venture as we consider these to be substantive participation rights. Our joint venture agreements also contain certain protective rights such as the requirement of partner approval to sell, finance or refinance the property and the payment of capital expenditures and operating expenditures outside of the approved budget or operating plan.

(1)                Acquisition price represents the actual or implied purchase price for the joint venture.

(2)                We acquired our interest from The McGraw-Hill Companies, or MHC.  MHC is a tenant at the property and accounted for approximately 14.6% of property’s annualized rent at June 30, 2007.  We do not manage this joint venture.

(3)                As a result of exceeding the performance thresholds set forth in our joint venture agreement with SITQ, our economic stake in the property was increased to 66.175% in August 2006.

(4)                Under a tax protection agreement established to protect the limited partners of the partnership that transferred 1515 Broadway to the joint venture, the joint venture has agreed not to adversely affect the limited partners’ tax positions before December 2011.  One tenant, whose leases end between 2008 and 2015, represents approximately 85.4% of this joint venture’s annualized rent at June 30, 2007.

(5)                We entered into an agreement to acquire Gramercy’s interest at an implied value of $1.0 billion.  This transaction closed in August 2007.

(6)                Effective November 2006, we deconsolidated this investment.  As a result of the recapitalization of the property, we were no longer the primary beneficiary under FIN 46(R).  Both partners had the same amount of equity at risk and neither partner controlled the joint venture.

(7)                We invested approximately $109.5 million in this asset through the origination of a loan secured by up to 47% of the interests in the property’s ownership, with an option to convert the loan to an equity interest. Certain existing members have the right to re-acquire approximately 4% of the property’s equity.

(8)                Effective April 1, 2007, we deconsolidated this investment.  As a result of the recapitalization of the property, we were no longer the primary beneficiary under FIN 46(R).  Both partners had the same amount of equity at risk and neither partner controlled the joint venture.

(9)                We have the ability to syndicate our interest down to 14.79%.

(10)           We, along with Gramercy, together as tenants-in-common, acquired a fee interest in 2 Herald Square.  The fee interest is subject to a long-term operating lease.

In March 2007, a joint venture between our company, SITQ and SEB Immobilier — Investment GmbH sold One Park Avenue for $550.0 million. We received approximately $108.7 million in proceeds from the sale, approximately $77.2 million of which represented an incentive distribution under our joint venture arrangement with SEB and the balance of approximately $31.5 million was recognized as gain on sale.

In June 2007, a joint venture between our company, Ian Schrager, RFR Holding LLC and Credit Suisse, sold Five Madison Avenue-Clock Tower for $200.0 million. We realized an incentive distribution of approximately $5.5 million upon the winding down of the joint venture.

We finance our joint ventures with non-recourse debt. The first mortgage notes payable collateralized by the respective joint venture properties and assignment of leases at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, are as follows (in thousands):

(1)                Interest rate represents the effective all-in weighted average interest rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2007.

(2)                This loan has an interest rate based on the LIBOR plus 75 basis points.  $65.0 million of this loan has been hedged through December 2010.  The hedge fixed the LIBOR rate at 4.8%.

(3)                The interest only loan carried an interest rate of 120 basis points over the 30-day LIBOR, but was reduced to 80 basis points over the 30-day LIBOR in December 2006. The loan is subject to two one-year as-of-right renewal extensions.  The joint venture extended this loan for one year.

(4)                The interest only loan carries an interest rate of 90 basis points over the 30-day LIBOR.  The mortgage is subject to three one-year as-of-right renewal options.

(5)                Comprised of $90.5 million variable rate debt that matures in May 2008 and $12.0 million fixed rate debt that matures in August 2014.  Gramercy provided the variable rate debt.

We act as the operating partner and day-to-day manager for all our joint ventures, except for 1221 Avenue of the Americas, Mack-Green, 800 Third Avenue and 1 and 2 Jericho Plaza. We are entitled to receive fees for providing management, leasing, construction supervision and asset management services to our joint ventures. We earned approximately $2.5 million, $5.5 million, $2.7 million and $4.2 million from these services for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, and 2006, respectively. In addition, we have the ability to earn incentive fees based on the ultimate financial performance of certain of the joint venture properties.

Gramercy Capital Corp.

In April 2004, we formed Gramercy as a commercial real estate specialty finance company that focuses on the direct origination and acquisition of whole loans, subordinate interests in whole loans, mezzanine loans, preferred equity and net lease investments involving commercial properties throughout the United States.  Gramercy also established a real estate securities business that focuses on the acquisition, trading and financing of commercial mortgage backed securities and other real estate related securities.  Gramercy qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes and expects to qualify for its current fiscal year.  In August 2004, Gramercy sold 12.5 million shares of common stock in its initial public offering at a price of $15.00 per share, for a total offering of $187.5 million.  As part of the offering, which closed on August 2, 2004, we purchased 3,125,000 shares, or 25%, of Gramercy, for a total investment of approximately $46.9 million.  During the term of Gramercy’s amended and restated origination agreement, we have the right to

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

June 30, 2007

 

purchase 25% of the shares in any future offering of Gramercy’s common stock in order to maintain our percentage ownership interest in Gramercy.  At June 30, 2007 we held 6,418,333 shares of Gramercy’s common stock representing a total investment of approximately $120.7 million.  The market value of our investment in Gramercy was approximately $176.8 million at June 30, 2007.

Gramercy is a variable interest entity, but we are not the primary beneficiary.  Due to the significant influence we have over Gramercy, we account for our investment under the equity method of accounting.

In connection with Gramercy’s initial public offering, GKK Manager LLC, or the Manager, an affiliate of ours, entered into a management agreement with Gramercy, which provided for an initial term through December 2007, with automatic one-year extension options and certain termination rights.  In April 2006, Gramercy’s board of directors approved, among other things, an extension of the management agreement through December 2009.  Gramercy pays the Manager an annual management fee equal to 1.75% of their gross stockholders’ equity (as defined in the amended and restated management agreement), inclusive of the trust preferred securities.  In addition, Gramercy also pays the Manager a collateral management fee (as defined in the collateral management agreement) of 0.25% per annum on the outstanding investment grade bonds in Gramercy’s July 2005 collateralized debt obligation.  The amended and restated management agreement provides that in connection with formations of future collateralized debt obligations, or CDO, or other securitization vehicles, if a collateral manager is retained, the Manager or an affiliate will be the collateral manager and will receive the following fees:  (i) 0.25% per annum of the book value of the assets owned for transitional “managed” CDOs, (ii) 0.15% per annum of the book value of the assets owned for non-transitional “managed” CDOs, (iii) 0.10% per annum of the book value of the assets owned for static CDOs that own primarily non-investment grade bonds, and (iv) 0.05% per annum of the book value of the assets owned for static CDOs that own primarily investment grade bonds; limited in each instance by the fees that are paid to the collateral manager. Collateral manager fees paid on Gramercy’s CDO that closed in August 2006 are governed by the amended and restated management agreement as a “transitional managed” CDO, as defined in the amended and restated management agreement, consisting primarily of debt investments secured by non-stabilized real estate.  The amended and restated management agreement provides that in connection with formations of collateralized debt obligations or other securitization vehicles after the execution of the amended and restated management agreement, if a collateral manager is retained, the Manager or an affiliate will be the collateral manager and will receive the following fees:  (i) 0.25% per annum of the book value of the assets owned for “transitional managed” CDOs, (ii) 0.15% per annum of the book value of the assets owned for “non-transitional managed” CDOs, (iii) 0.10% per annum of the book value of the assets owned for static CDOs that own primarily non-investment grade bonds, and (iv) 0.05% per annum of the book value of the assets owned for static CDOs that own primarily investment grade bonds; limited in each instance by the fees that are paid to the collateral manager. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we received an aggregate of approximately $3.1 million, $5.8 million, $2.5 million and $4.7 million, respectively, in fees under the management agreement and $1.1 million, $2.2 million, $0.5 million and $1.0 million under the collateral management agreement.

To provide an incentive for the Manager to enhance the value of Gramercy’s common stock, we, along with the other holders of Class B limited partnership interests in Gramercy’s operating partnership, are entitled to an incentive return payable through the Class B limited partner interests in Gramercy’s operating partnership, equal to 25% of the amount by which funds from operations (as defined in Gramercy’s amended and restated partnership agreement) plus certain accounting gains exceed the product of the weighted average stockholders’ equity of Gramercy multiplied by 9.5% (divided by 4 to adjust for quarterly calculations).  We will record any distributions on the Class B limited partner interests as incentive distribution income in the period when earned and when receipt of such amounts have become probable and reasonably estimable in accordance with Gramercy’s amended and restated partnership agreement as if such agreement had been terminated on that date.  We earned approximately $3.8 million, $6.6 million, $1.6 million and $2.8 million under this agreement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, and 2006, respectively.  Due to the control we have over the Manager, we consolidate the accounts of the Manager into ours.

In May 2005, our Compensation Committee approved long-term incentive performance awards pursuant to which certain of our officers and employees, including some of whom are our senior executive officers, were awarded a portion of the interests previously held by us in the Manager as well as in the Class B limited partner interests in Gramercy’s operating partnership.  These awards are dependent upon, among other things, tenure of employment and the performance by SL Green Realty Corp. of its investment in Gramercy.  We recorded compensation expense of approximately $0.7 million, $1.4 million, $0.4 million and $0.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, related to these awards.  After giving effect to these awards, we own 64.83 units of the Class B limited partner interests and 65.83% of the Manager.  The officers and employees who received these awards own 15.75 units of the Class B limited partner interests and 15.75% of the Manager.

Gramercy is obligated to reimburse the Manager for its costs incurred under an asset servicing agreement and an outsourcing agreement between the Manager and us.  The asset servicing agreement, which was amended and restated in April 2006, provides for an annual fee payable to us of 0.05% of the book value of all Gramercy’s credit tenant lease assets and non-investment grade bonds

and 0.15% of the book value of all other Gramercy assets.  We may reduce the asset-servicing fee for fees that Gramercy pays directly to outside servicers. The outsourcing agreement currently provides for a fee of $1.33 million per year, increasing 3% annually over the prior year. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Manager received an aggregate of approximately $1.2 million, $2.3 million, $0.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively, under the outsourcing and asset servicing agreements.

During the three months ended March 31, 2006, we paid our proportionate share of an advisory fee of approximately $162,500 to Gramercy in connection with a transaction.

All fees earned from Gramercy are included in other income in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Effective May 1, 2005 Gramercy entered into a lease agreement with an affiliate of ours, for their corporate offices at 420 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY.  The lease is for approximately five thousand square feet with an option to lease an additional approximately two thousand square feet and carries a term of ten year with rents of approximately $249,000 per annum for year one rising to $315,000 per annum in year ten.

See above for a discussion on Gramercy’s joint venture investment, along with us, in One Madison Avenue-South Building.  Gramercy, along with us, also has tenancy-in-common interests in 55 Corporate Drive, NJ and 2 Herald Square.  See Note 5 for information of our structured finance investments in which Gramercy also holds an interest.

Corporation.  In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we, through our operating partnership, own 100% of the non-voting common stock (representing 95% of the total equity) of the Service Corporation our operating partnership receives substantially all of the cash flow from the Service Corporation’s operations through dividends on its equity interest.  All of the voting common stock of the Service Corporation (representing 5% of the total equity) is held by our affiliate.  This controlling interest gives the affiliate the power to elect all directors of the Service Corporation.  Effective July 1, 2003, we consolidated the operations of the Service Corporation because it is considered to be a variable interest entity under FIN 46 and we are the primary beneficiary.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Service Corporation earned approximately $2.8 million, $6.3 million, $2.4 million and $3.7 million of revenue and incurred approximately $2.1 million, $4.7 million, $1.6 million and $3.6 million in expenses, respectively. Effective January 1, 2001, the Service Corporation elected to be treated as a TRS.

In March 2002, we acquired all the voting common stock of eEmerge Inc.  As a result, we control all the common stock of eEmerge.  Effective with the quarter ended June 30, 2002, we consolidated the operations of eEmerge.  Effective January 1, 2001, eEmerge elected to be taxed as a TRS.

In June 2000, eEmerge and Eureka Broadband Corporation, or Eureka, formed eEmerge.NYC LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or ENYC, whereby eEmerge has a 95% interest and Eureka has a 5% interest in ENYC.  During the third quarter of 2006, ENYC acquired the interest held by Eureka.  As a result, eEmerge owns 100% of ENYC.  ENYC operates a 71,700 square foot fractional office suites business.  ENYC entered into a 10-year lease with our Operating Partnership for its 50,200 square foot premises, which is located at 440 Ninth Avenue, Manhattan.  ENYC entered into another 10-year lease with our Operating Partnership for its 21,500 square foot premises at 28 West 44PthP Street, Manhattan.  Allocations of net profits, net losses and distributions are made in accordance with the Limited Liability Company Agreement of ENYC.  Effective with the quarter ended March 31, 2002, we consolidated the operations of ENYC.
