Option Grants in 2003 Shown below is further information on grants of stock options pursuant to the 1995 Stock Option and Incentive Plan during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 to the Named Officers:
Potential Realizable Value At Assumed Annual Rates % of Total Options of Stock Appreciation For Number of Securities Granted to Exercise or Option Term (a) Underlying Options Employees Base Price Expiration --------------------------------- Name Granted (b) In Fiscal Year ($/Sh) Date 5% 10% --------------------- ----------------------- ---------------------- -------------- ------------ ------------ ------------ Philip G. Kupperman 50,000 100% $3.51 1/2/13 $110,500 $279,500
(a) The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") requires disclosure of the potential realizable value or present value of each grant. The 5% and 10% assumed annual rates of compounded stock price appreciation are mandated by rules of the SEC and do not represent the Company's estimate or projection of the Company's future common stock prices. The disclosure assumes the options will be held for the full ten-year term prior to exercise. Such options may be exercised prior to the end of such term. The actual value, if any, an executive officer may realize will depend on the excess of the stock price over the exercise price on the date the option is exercised. There can be no assurance that the stock price will appreciate at the rates shown in the table. (b) The options granted to Philip G. Kupperman vest on July 1, 2004.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS During June 2000, the Company acquired mortgage notes receivable secured by underlying property from The Trust Company of New Jersey ("TCNJ") for $3,500,000. The Company subsequently advanced the borrower an additional $2,790,000. The mortgage notes receivable and subsequent advances are due 2007 and bear interest at 9.75%. The cost of the original mortgage note and the subsequent advance were partially funded by a $5,300,000 mortgage provided by TCNJ. In connection with the mortgage note receivable the Company will earn a $2,500,000 financing fee. The fee is being recognized by the effective interest method over the term of the mortgage receivable. Under this agreement, the Company has the right to receive proceeds from the sale of the underlying property. During the years 2003 and 2002, the Company received mortgage amortization and financing fees in the amount of $650,000 and $4,946,000, respectively, and paid down $482,000 and $3,709,000, respectively, of the related mortgage payable to TCNJ. In March 2002, the Company refinanced an existing mortgage loan with TCNJ for $4.08 million and redeemed an unsecured line of credit with TCNJ for $1.5 million. As of year end 2003, the Company was indebted to TCNJ for approximately $18.5 million of first mortgage loans at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 6.375% and a $2.7 million loan secured by marketable securities at prime. Siggi B. Wilzig, whose shareholdings of the Company are described above, was an officer, director and significant shareholder of TCNJ up until his death on January 7, 2003. ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES Audit Fees and Related Matters. In accordance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the Audit Committee's charter, all audit and audit-related work and all non-audit work performed by the Company's independent accountants, Ernst & Young, LP ("Ernst& Young"), is approved in advance by the Audit Committee, including the proposed fees for such work. The Audit Committee is informed of each service actually rendered. -9- Audit Fees The aggregate fees incurred by the Company for fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 for professional services rendered by Ernst & Young LLP in connection with (i) the audit of the Company's annual financial statements and (ii) the review of the financial statements included in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, June 30, and September 30 were $115,000 and $123,000 respectively. The Company engaged Ernst & Young LLP to audit the Company's 2001 financial statements, that were restated to reflect certain operations as discontinued. The Company incurred professional fees of $108,700 in connection with the 2001 audit. Audit-Related Fees The Company did not incur any fees for fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 for assurance and related services by Ernst & Young LLP in connection with the performance of the audit or review of the Company's financial statements, including 401(k) plan audits. Tax Fees The Company did not incur any fees for fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 for professional services rendered by Ernst & Young LLP for tax compliance, tax advice or tax planning.

Other Matters The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has considered whether the provision of the Audit-Related Fees, Tax Fees and All Other Fees are compatible with maintaining the independence of the Company's principal accountant.
