FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
- ---------------------
Reckson Announces First Quarter 2006 Results
--------------------------------------------
(MELVILLE, NEW YORK, May 3, 2006) - Reckson Associates Realty Corp. (NYSE: RA)
today reported diluted funds from operations (FFO) of $47.6 million, or $0.56
per share for the first quarter of 2006 including a $3.6 million, or $0.04 per
share charge recognized in connection with Reckson's long-term incentive
compensation plan. When adjusted for this charge the Company reported diluted
FFO of $51.2 million, or $0.60 per share for the first quarter of 2006. This
compares to diluted FFO of $46.4 million, or $0.55 per share for the first
quarter of 2005.
Reckson reported net income of $57.7 million, or diluted earnings per share
(EPS) of $0.69 for the first quarter of 2006 including $43.6 million related
to gains on sales of real estate and a $3.5 million charge for the
aforementioned compensation plan, as compared to $17.4 million, or diluted EPS
of $0.21 for the first quarter of 2005.
Commenting on the Company's performance, Scott Rechler, Reckson's Chief
Executive Officer, stated, "During this quarter, we further positioned
ourselves to capitalize on our strengthening market conditions. We have
approximately 1.0 million square feet of premium CBD space scheduled to expire
at average rents that are approximately 30% below market; almost 1.0 million
square feet of irreplaceable redevelopment and repositioning opportunities;
and approximately 650,000 square feet of premier, in-fill development
projects. We are well positioned to deliver on these opportunities through the
end of 2007."
Michael Maturo, Reckson's President and Chief Financial Officer, added, "Our
markets have experienced significant cap rate compression and increased
property valuations even as interest rates have continued to rise. We have
maintained our investment discipline and capitalized on this environment by
accelerating our disposition program. During the past two quarters we have
sold or contracted to sell over $1.0 billion of properties or interest in
properties including approximately $170.0 million during the first quarter.
While these activities are dilutive to earnings in the short term, we believe
that they are accretive in the long-term as we strengthen our balance sheet
and invest in higher quality
properties with more attractive growth prospects and into our robust value
creation pipeline."
A reconciliation of net income to FFO is in the financial statements
accompanying this press release. Net income is the GAAP measure the Company
believes to be the most directly comparable to FFO.

cash NOI yield of approximately 5.3%. This non-strategic operating
asset is located outside of Reckson's core New York Tri-State
area markets. Reckson reported a GAAP gain of approximately $9.3
million on the sale. Net proceeds from the sale were used to
establish an escrow account with a qualified intermediary for a
future Section 1031 Exchange.

located in Westchester, for $35.3 million, or approximately $219

portfolio concentrated within five business parks in Westchester.

transaction with Reckson New York Property Trust (the Trust) (ASX:
RNY), a Reckson-sponsored Australian listed property trust. In the
tranche II closing, Reckson sold three suburban core plus
properties containing approximately 760,000 square feet for
approximately $84.6 million, including the assignment of
approximately $20.1 million of mortgage debt. In connection with
the closing of tranche II, approximately $25.1 million of the net
proceeds were used to establish an escrow account with a qualified
intermediary for a future Section 1031 Exchange.
- Sold Reckson's option to acquire the existing minority partner's
40% interest in the Omni property, a 96% leased office property
located in Mitchel Field, Uniondale, Long Island, for net proceeds
of approximately $9.0 million to a group of institutional
investors led by JPMorgan Investment Management, Reckson's joint
venture partner in One Court Square, Long Island City and 919
Third Avenue, New York City. In connection with this transaction,
the original minority partner repaid to Reckson approximately
$22.1 million, including accrued interest, under a 12.0% per
annum, $17.0 million note receivable investment which was secured
by their interest in the Omni.

Earnings Guidance
- -----------------
During the Company's quarterly earnings conference call on May 4, 2006
management will discuss earnings guidance for 2006 diluted FFO in the range of
$2.36 to $2.40 per share and 2007 diluted FFO in the range of $2.60 to $2.80
per share.
2006 guidance reflects(1):
- Accelerated disposition program and slower re-investment
activities
- Delay in investing or repaying debt with 1031 proceeds currently
held by a qualified intermediary
- Deferral of forecast to repatriate approximately $50 million of
funds from RSVP until the end of 2006
- Higher general and administrative costs associated with expansion
of management personnel, increase in salaries and increase in
equity compensation cost
- $275 million bond transaction which was upsized and completed
earlier than anticipated
- Forecasts for additional downtime as the Company is experiencing
longer build out periods on executed leases and slower lease-up of
an abnormally high inventory of small suburban units
2007 results will benefit from the execution of the Company's leasing strategy
and active value creation pipeline.(1)
(1) This guidance does not include contingent and undetermined impact of the
special outperformance long-term incentive plan which vests on March 13, 2007
subject to achieving certain performance criteria.
Reconciliation of Earnings Guidance

The Company's guidance for diluted FFO is reconciled from GAAP net income

This guidance is based upon management's current estimates. Actual results may
differ materially. This information involves forward-looking statements which
are subject to uncertainties noted below in the section titled Forward-Looking
Statements.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
- ---------------------------
Funds from Operations (FFO)
- ---------------------------
The Company believes that FFO is a widely recognized and appropriate measure
of performance of an equity REIT. The Company presents FFO because it
considers it an important supplemental measure of the Company's operating
performance and believes it is frequently used by securities analysts,
investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of
which present FFO when reporting their results. FFO is intended to exclude
GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related
assets, which assumes that the value of real estate diminishes ratably over
time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with
market conditions. As a result, FFO provides a performance measure that, when
compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in
occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities,
interest costs and other matters without the inclusion of depreciation and
amortization, providing perspective that may not necessarily be apparent from
net income. The Company computes FFO in accordance with standards established
by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT). FFO is
defined by NAREIT as net income or loss, excluding gains or losses from sales
of depreciable properties plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and
after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. FFO does
not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP
and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. FFO should not be
considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company's
operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of
liquidity. Since all companies and analysts do not calculate FFO in a similar
fashion, the Company's calculation of FFO presented herein may not be
comparable to similarly titled measures as reported by other companies.
Reckson Associates Realty Corp. is a self-administered and self-managed real
estate investment trust (REIT) specializing in the acquisition, leasing,
financing, management and development of Class A office properties.
Reckson's core growth strategy is focused on properties located in New York
City and the surrounding Tri-State area markets. The Company is one of the
largest publicly traded owners, managers and developers of Class A office
properties in the New York Tri-State area, and wholly owns, has substantial
interests in, or has under contract, a total of 102 properties comprised of
approximately 20.2 million square feet. For additional information on Reckson
