. This Supplemental Package includes operating and financial information for the quarter ended April 30, 2006, with reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures, such as EBDT, comparable NOI and pro-rata financial statements, to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

EBDT

The Company uses an additional measure, along with net earnings, to report its operating results. This non-GAAP measure, referred to as Earnings Before Depreciation, Amortization and Deferred Taxes, is not a measure of operating results or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

The Company believes that EBDT provides additional information about its core operations and, along with net earnings, is necessary to understand its operating results. EBDT is used by the chief operating decision maker and management in assessing operating performance and to consider capital requirements Capital requirements

 by segment and on a consolidated basis. The Company believes EBDT is important to investors because it provides another method for the investor to measure its long-term operating performance, as net earnings can vary from year to year due to property dispositions, acquisitions and other factors that have a short-term impact.

EBDT is defined as net earnings excluding the following items: i) gain (loss) on disposition of rental properties, divisions and other investments (net of tax); ii) the adjustment to recognize rental revenues and rental expense using the straight-line method Noun 1. straight-line method - (accounting) a method of calculating depreciation by taking an equal amount of the asset's cost as an expense for each year of the asset's useful life

The adjustment to recognize rental revenues and rental expenses on the straight-line method is excluded because it is management's opinion that rental revenues and expenses should be recognized when due from the tenants or due to the landlord. The Company excludes depreciation and amortization expense related to real estate operations from EBDT because it believes the values of its properties, in general, have appreciated over time in excess of their original cost.

The provision for decline in real estate is excluded from EBDT because it varies from year to year based on factors unrelated to the Company's overall financial performance and is related to the ultimate gain on dispositions of operating properties. The Company's EBDT may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

1) Pursuant to the definition of a component of an entity of SFAS No.
 144, assuming no significant continuing involvement, all earnings of
 properties and a division which have been sold or held for sale are
 reported as discontinued operations.

2) The Company uses an additional measure, along with net earnings, to
 report its operating results. This measure, referred to as Earnings
 Before Depreciation, Amortization and Deferred Taxes ("EBDT"), is not
 a measure of operating results as defined by generally accepted
 accounting principles and may not be directly comparable to
 similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. The Company
 believes that EBDT provides additional information about its
 operations, and along with net earnings, is necessary to understand
 its operating results.  EBDT is defined as net earnings excluding the
 following items: i) gain (loss) on disposition of operating
 properties, divisions and other investments (net of tax); ii) the
 adjustment to recognize rental revenues and rental expense using the
 straight-line method; iii) noncash charges from Forest City Rental
 Properties Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Forest City
 Enterprises, Inc., for depreciation, amortization (including
 amortization of mortgage procurement costs) and deferred income
 taxes; iv) provision for decline in real estate (net of tax); v)
 extraordinary items (net of tax); and vi) cumulative effect of
 change in accounting principle (net of tax).  See our discussion of
 EBDT in the news release.

3) The Company recognizes minimum rents on a straight-line basis over
 the term of the related lease pursuant to the provision of SFAS No.
 13, "Accounting for Leases." The straight-line rent adjustment is
 recorded as an increase or decrease to revenue from Forest City
 Rental Properties Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Forest
 City Enterprises, Inc., with the applicable offset to either accounts
 receivable or accounts payable, as appropriate.

4) The following table provides detail of depreciation and
 amortization and amortization of mortgage procurement costs. The
 Company's Real Estate Groups are owned by Forest City Rental
 Properties Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary engaged in the
 ownership, development, acquisition and management of real estate
 projects, including apartment complexes, regional malls and retail
 centers, hotels, office buildings and mixed-use facilities, as well
 as large land development projects.

(e) Properties accounted for on the equity method do not meet the
 definition of a component of an entity under SFAS No. 144 and
 therefore are reported in continuing operations when sold.  For the
 three months ended April 30, 2005, two equity method investments were
 sold, Showcase and Colony Place, resulting in a pre-tax gain on
 disposition of $18,497.

(e)  Properties accounted for on the equity method do not meet the
 definition of a component of an entity under SFAS No. 144 and
 therefore are reported in continuing operations when sold.  For the
 three months ended April 30, 2005, two equity method investments were
 sold, Showcase and Colony Place, resulting in a pre-tax gain on
 disposition of $18,497.

2006 FOOTNOTES
--------------

(a) Amounts are presented on the full consolidation method of
     accounting, a GAAP measure. Under full consolidation, costs are
     reported as consolidated at 100 percent if we are deemed to have
     control or to be the primary beneficiary of our investments in
     the variable interest entity ("VIE").
(b) Cost at pro-rata share represents Forest City's share of cost,
     based on the Company's pro-rata ownership of each property (a
     Non-GAAP measure). Under the pro-rata consolidation method of
     accounting the Company determines its pro-rata share by
     multiplying its pro-rata ownership by the total cost of the
     applicable property.
(c) Reported under the equity method of accounting. This method
     represents a GAAP measure for investments in which the Company is
     not deemed to have control or to be the primary beneficiary of
     our investments in a VIE.
(d) The difference between the full consolidation amount (GAAP) of
     $141.9 million of cost to the Company's pro-rata share (a non-
     GAAP measure) of $161.7 million of cost consists of a reduction
     to full consolidation for minority interest of $0.2 million of
     cost and the addition of its share of cost for unconsolidated
     investments of $20.0 million.
(e) Phased-in openings. Costs are representative of the total project.
(f) The difference between the full consolidation amount (GAAP) of
     $0.0 million of cost to the Company's pro-rata share (a non-GAAP
     measure) of $28.1 million of cost consists of the Company's share
     of cost for unconsolidated investments of $28.1 million.
(g) Supported-living property.
(h) The difference between the full consolidation amount (GAAP) of
     $852.1 million of cost to the Company's pro-rata share (a non-
     GAAP measure) of $1,521.7 million of cost consists of a reduction
     to full consolidation for minority interest of $27.8 million of
     cost and the addition of its share of cost for unconsolidated
     investments of $697.4 million.
(i) As is customary within the real estate industry, the Company
     invests in certain real estate projects through joint ventures.
     For some of these projects, the Company provides funding at
     percentages that differ from the Company's legal ownership. The
     Company consolidates its investments in these projects in
     accordance with FIN No. 46(R) at a consolidation percentage that
     is reflected in the Pro-Rata FCE % column.
(j) Includes 39,000 square feet of office space.
(k) Includes 235,000 square feet of office space.
(l) Phased opening: Phase I opened Q4-05, Phase II opened Q1-06, Phase
     III is scheduled to open Q3-06.
(m) The difference between the full consolidation amount (GAAP) of
     $0.0 million of cost to the Company's pro-rata share (a non-GAAP
     measure) of $37.3 million of cost consists of Forest City's share
     of cost for unconsolidated investments of $37.3 million.
(n) Project includes 18,000 square feet of retail space.
(o) Phased opening: Phase I opens Q3-06, Phase II opens Q3-07, and
     Phase III opens Q1-08.
(p) Includes 177,000 square feet for Target and 97,000 square feet for
     JC Penney opening in 2006, and 140,000 square feet for Macy's
     opening in 2007.
(q) Includes 24,000 square feet of retail space.
