As a possible alternative to the possible transactions previously

substantially all of its interest in Wellsford/Whitehall Group,
representatives of the Reporting Persons have commenced discussions with
management of the Company concerning possible agreements and/or an
amendment to the Wellsford/Whitehall Group LLC Agreement that would, among
other things, grant additional authority to affiliates of WHWEL and WWG
Realty with respect to, among other matters, the management and certain
sales and financings of properties owned by Wellsford/Whitehall Group. In
exchange for such rights, the Company may be paid certain fees and/or
receive other consideration in connection with, among other things, certain
sales of properties owned by Wellsford/Whitehall Group and/or acquisitions
of additional properties by affiliates of the Reporting Persons. Any such
agreements and/or amendment may also contain other terms altering the
existing terms of the Wellsford/Whitehall Group LLC Agreement. The terms of
any such agreements and/or amendment have not been determined, including
the form or amount of any consideration that would be payable to the
Company.

None of the Reporting Persons or their affiliates has yet determined
to engage in any of the transactions described above, and no agreement has
been reached with the Company's management with respect to any such
transaction. There can be no assurance that any of the Reporting Persons or
their affiliates will determine to engage in any such transaction or that
any agreement will be reached with respect to any such transaction.
Discussions with respect to any of the above transactions (or any potential
transactions previously reported) may be terminated at any time.
