CYPRESS PLACE
NOTE TO STATEMENT OF REVENUES AND CERTAIN EXPENSES
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999


1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    BUSINESS

    The accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses includes the
    operations (see "Basis of Presentation" below) of Cypress Place, one
    residential property owned and managed by parties not related to Home
    Properties of New York, Inc. (the "Company").

    On December 27, 2000, the Company, through its subsidiary Home Properties
    of New York, L.P., acquired 100% of the real estate of Cypress Place, 192
    apartment units located in one community.  The property is located in
    Chicago, Illinois.

    The acquisition was funded through the assumption of approximately
    $6.6 million in a mortgage, the payment of approximately $1.3 million in
    cash and through the issuance of Operating Partnership Units in Home
    Properties of New York, L.P. valued at approximately $2.2 million.  The
    mortgage carries an interest rate of 7.13% and matures in 2008.

    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The accompanying financial statement has been prepared on the accrual basis
    of accounting, but is not representative of the actual operations of
    Cypress Place for the period shown.  As required by the Securities and
    Exchange Commission, Regulation S-X, Rule 3-14, certain expenses have been
    excluded which may not be comparable to the proposed future operations of
    Cypress Place.  Expenses excluded relate to property management fees,
    interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense and other expenses
    not directly related to the future operations of Cypress Place.  The
    Company is not aware of any material factors relating to Cypress Place that
    would cause the reported financial information not to be necessarily
    indicative of future operating results.

    REVENUE RECOGNITION

    Rental income attributable to residential leases is recorded when due from
    residents.  Leases are generally for terms of one year.

    INTERIM UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENT

    The accompanying interim unaudited statement of revenues and certain
    expenses for the period from January 1 through September 30, 2000 has been
    prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
    Exchange Commission described above.  The results of operations of such
    interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full
    year.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999


    USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
    principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
    management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
    amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
    liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
    amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual
    results could differ from those estimates.
