(1)	On December 18, 2008, the Trust Established Under the Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc. Excess Benefits and Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Compensation Plan Trust") purchased 2,000 shares of Common Stock for the benefit of Mr. Urstadt.
(2)	This figure includes 371,250 restricted shares of Common Stock that were issued pursuant to the Issuer's Amended and Restated Restricted Stock Award Plan, and which are held by Urstadt Realty Shares II L.P. ("URS II"), a Delaware limited partnership of which Mr. Urstadt is the limited partner and Urstadt Property Company Inc. (a Delaware corporation of which Mr. Urstadt is a controlling shareholder) ("UPCO") is the general partner, as reported on previously filed Forms 4 and 5.
(3)	Mr. Urstadt, individually, is not the direct beneficial owner of any shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, but when aggregating the 672,045 shares of Common Stock held by URS II (including the 371,250 restricted shares referenced in Footnote (2)), the 535,809 shares of Common Stock held by UPCO, the 21,300 shares of Common Stock held by Elinor Urstadt, Mr. Urstadt's wife, the 17,056 shares of Common Stock held by the Compensation Plan Trust for the benefit of Mr. Urstadt and the 1,901,006 shares of Common Stock held by Urstadt Realty Associates Co. LP, a Delaware limited partnership, of which UPCO is the general partner and Mr. Urstadt, Mrs. Urstadt, the Catherine U. Biddle Irrevocable Trust and the Charles D. Urstadt Irrevocable Trust (for each of which trusts Mr. Urstadt is the sole trustee) are the limited partners, results in Mr. Urstadt beneficially owning 3,147,216 shares of Common Stock.
