                    NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1

     As permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the accompanying
Unaudited Financial Statements and footnotes have been condensed and therefore,
do not contain all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles. Reference should be made to the Company's Annual Report Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1996, filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

NOTE 2 

     In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying Unaudited Financial
Statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
accruals) necessary to present fairly its financial position as of March 31,
1997 and 1996.

NOTE 3

     The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and
1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year.

NOTE 4 - Taxes 

     The net income for Federal income tax purposes is $2,103,201 (March 31,
1997) and $2,056,573 (March 31, 1996) as compared with net income of $1,871,002
and $1,776,510, respectively, as shown in the statement of operations. The
differences result principally from (a) rents received in advance and recognized
currently for income tax purposes, and (b) differences in depreciation expense
resulting from differences in the basis of real estate for tax and financial
reporting purposes.

NOTE 5 - Mortgage Payable

     On March 10, 1997, IPA paid the scheduled March 15, 1997 principal payment
of $1,000,000 to Chase Manhattan Bank. The payment was applied to the 261 Fifth
Avenue, 245 Fifth Avenue and 1440 Broadway, New York, New York.

     On November 13, 1995, Registrant and First Fidelity Bank ("Fidelity")
entered into a modification of the mortgage note held by Fidelity on
Registrant's Federal Trust building in Newark, New Jersey. Effective January 1,
1996, the maturity date of the note was extended to June 30, 1997. Interest on
the amended note is based on the weekly average yield on U.S. Treasury
Securities plus 2% and the modification calls for the monthly payment of
principal and interest. The principal balance of the Fidelity loan at December
31, 1996 was $467,070.

NOTE 6 - Ground Lease Termination 

     On May 1, 1996, IPA exercised its option to terminate the ground lease on
the 744 Broad Street Building. As provided in the lease, the ground lessor,
Newark Building Associates was given 60 days written notice of the company's
plans to terminate the ground lease. The lease which expires August 31, 2002,
has an annual rental of $659,500.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Gross revenue from rentals for 1997 decreased approximately 9.04% as
compared to 1996. The decrease was due primarily to a ground lease termination
at 744 Broad Street building and a major tenant occupying approximately 92% of
the building's gross leaseable area in 570 Broad Street building, left the
building upon expiration of its lease in December 1996. 

     The decrease in other expenses in 1997 as compared to 1996 is principally
attributable to the decrease in security labor, heating cost, building repairs,
cleaning and electric. 

     The decrease in real estate taxes was attributable primarily to decreases
in real estate assessments for properties located in New York City, and ground
lease termination at 744 Broad Street building.

     The decrease in leasehold rentals was due to the ground lease termination
at 744 Broad Street building.

     The decrease in interest expense was due to the reduction in mortgage
principal balance. The decrease in depreciation and amortization of real estate
was primarily due to the ground lease termination at 744 Broad Street building.


     Liquidity and Capital Resources -- IPA's cash generated from operations
plus its ability to refinance certain mortgage obligations provide it with the
resources needed to meet its anticipated obligations including operating
expenses, mortgage amortization and required distributions to partners.
