                 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, 1997, 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,
1998 and the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and
1997.

NOTE 3

     The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and
1997 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 $3,413,505 (March 31,
1998) and $2,103,201 (March 31, 1997) as compared with net income of $3,100,791
and $1,871,002 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 25, 1998, IPA paid the scheduled March 15, 1998 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.

     The $8,000,000 first mortgage loan on 1328 Broadway Building, New York, New
York (in which IPA has a 50% tenancy in common interest) which became due on
November 24, 1997 and was extended to April 24, 1998, has been further extended
to April 30, 1998, at the interest rate of 8.5% per annum from April 24, 1998
through October 31, 1998, from November 1, 1998 through April 30, 1999, interest
at the rate of 12% per annum. There shall be no more extensions of the
forbearance period beyond April 30, 1999.

NOTE 6 - Sale of Ground Lease

     On January 22, 1998, IPA sold to an unrelated party its position as ground
tenant under its lease with the City of Newark, New Jersey on the property
located at 1180 Raymond Blvd. in Newark. As a consequence of the transaction,
IPA is relieved of liability for ground lease rent and real estate taxes on the
property from and after January 22, 1998. As of the date of the sale of the
ground lease, IPA was incurring operating losses of approximately $65,000 per
month with respect to 1180 Raymond Blvd. For federal income tax purposes, the
capital gain arising from this transaction is $720,102 as compared with $611,700
for financial statement purposes.

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

     Gross revenue from rentals for 1998 decreased approximately 1.44% as
compared to 1997. The decrease was due primarily to the sale of the ground lease
of 1180 Raymond Blvd. and sale of 24 Commerce Building in Newark, New Jersey.
Also, the net decrease in rental in New York properties offset by the net
increase in rental in Chicago properties.

     The decrease in other expenses in 1998 as compared to 1997 is principally
attributable to the decrease in contract cleaning, heating cost, insurance,
payroll and electric.

     The decrease in real estate taxes was attributable primarily to the sale of
the ground lease of 1180 Raymond Blvd. and sale of 24 Commerce Building in
Newark, New Jersey.

     The decrease in leasehold rentals was due to the sale of the ground lease
of 1180 Raymond Blvd. 

     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 sale of the ground lease of 1180 Raymond Blvd. and sale
of 24 Commerce building in Newark, New Jersey.

     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.
