ROCKEFELLER CENTER PROPERTIES RESTATES RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE
FIRST QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1995


    

   NEW YORK, New York--May 23, 1995 -- Rockefeller Center
   Properties Inc. (RCPI) announced today that due to the May 11, 1995
   Chapter 11 filing by the Borrower (two partnerships, HREF="chap11.rcp.html">Rockefeller
   Center Properties
and RCP Associates), under the mortgage loan
   receivable which is RCPI's principal asset, the Company has limited
   recognition of income on the mortgage loan for the first quarter of
   1995 to the cash actually received from the Borrower during this
   period. As a result of the change to the cash basis of income
   recognition the Company has restated the results of operations for the
   first quarter resulting in an increase of $6,758,000 from the net loss
   previously reported on April 25, 1995.


    

   The restated results in the first quarter of 1995 are a net loss of
   $7,478,000, or $.20 per share, as compared to net income of
   $6,667,000, or $.17 per share, for the same period in 1994. In
   addition to revenue recognition of loan interest income on a cash
   basis, the loss for the first quarter of 1995 is attributable in part
   to a charge to earnings of $4,434,000, or $.12 per share, representing
   a current non cash adjustment for the stock appreciation rights which
   were issued in December 1994.

   receivable and inventories of Buddy L, subject to certain terms.

   our own. The synergies between our two companies will allow us to
   significantly increase revenues, leverage our recent expansions of
   infrastructure and increase profitability," noted Steven Geller,
   Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Empire of Carolina. "Now that
   the bulk of the Court proceedings are behind us, we can work towards
   closing the transaction and integrating our businesses."
