The Company was formed through a May 2007 merger between Reis, Inc. ("Private Reis") and Wellsford Real Properties, Inc. ("Wellsford"). Reis carries on the businesses of Private Reis and Wellsford.
Private Reis was founded in 1980 as a provider of commercial real estate market information and today is a leader in that field. Reis maintains a proprietary database containing detailed information on commercial real properties in neighborhoods and metropolitan markets throughout the U.S. The database contains information on apartment, retail, office and industrial properties and is used by real estate investors, lenders and other professionals to make informed buying, selling and financing decisions. Reis currently provides its information services to many of the nation's leading lending institutions, equity investors, brokers and appraisers.
Reis's flagship product is Reis SE, which provides online access to information and analytical tools designed to facilitate both debt and equity transactions. In addition to trend and forecast analysis at neighborhood and metropolitan levels, the product offers detailed building-specific information such as rents, vacancy rate and lease terms, property sale information, new construction listings and property valuation estimates. Reis SE is designed to meet the demand for timely and accurate information to support the decision-making of property owners, developers and builders, banks and non-bank lenders, and equity investors, all of whom require access to information on both the performance and pricing of assets, including detailed data on market transactions, supply and absorption. This information is critical to all aspects of valuing assets and financing their acquisition, development, and construction.

Prior to the merger, Wellsford was a public company operating as a real estate merchant banking firm which acquired, developed, financed and operated real properties and invested in private and public real estate companies. The Company's primary operating activities immediately prior to the merger were the development, construction and sale of three residential projects and its approximate 23% ownership interest in Private Reis. The Company continues to develop, construct and sell these existing residential projects.
