                     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, 1998,  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 September 30, 1999 and 1998, and
the results of operations for the nine months then ended.

NOTE 3

The results of operations for the nine months ended  September 30, 1999 and 1998
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  $15,036,837  (September  30,
1999) and  $107,868,410  (September  30,  1998) as  compared  with net income of
$16,690,240  and  $108,545,353,  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 - Mortgages Payable

During the nine months  ended  September  30, 1999,  the Company made  principal
payments in the aggregate  amount of $2,500,000,  reducing the mortgage  balance
from  $23,847,488 as of January 1, 1999 to $21,347,488 as of September 30, 1999.
The payment was applied to the properties at 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 the  Company has a 50% tenancy in common  interest)  which  became due
initially on November  24, 1997 was extended to April 30, 1999,  at the interest
rate of 8.5% per annum. The mortgage was further extended to May 31, 1999 at the
same interest rate. Discussions are currently being held regarding new terms.

NOTE 6 - Sales of Properties

On April 14, 1999,  the Company sold the Mojud Building in Long Island City, New
York for $6,500,000.  The sales proceeds will be used to first pay the Company's
mortgage debt, closing costs, other commitments and future  distributions to the
partners. In connection with this transaction,  the Company recognized a gain on
sale of  approximately  $5,605,104  for Federal  income tax purposes as compared
with $5,580,101 for financial statement purposes.

On August 30, 1999,  the Company sold the Midland  Savings  Building in Midland,
Texas for $300,000.  The sale proceeds will be used to first pay mortgage  debt,
closing costs,  other commitments and future  distributions to the partners.  In
connection with this transaction,  the Company  recognized a loss on the sale of
approximately  $771,420 for Federal  income tax purposes as compared with a gain
of $415,754 for financial statement purposes.

NOTE 7 - Subsequent Event

On October 5, 1999, the Company  announced that it has signed a contract to sell
its commercial property at 1440 Broadway,  New York, New York, for $152,000,000.
The sales  proceeds will be used to first pay mortgage  debt,  closing costs and
other commitments,  aggregating  approximately  $40,000,000.  After completing a
final   accounting   and   establishing   a  record  date  for  holders  of  its
participations of limited partnership interests, the Company will make a special
distribution in accordance with its limited partnership agreement.

Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.

Gross revenue from rentals for 1999 decreased  approximately  29.83% as compared
to  1998.  The  decrease  was  primarily  due to the  sale of the  five  Chicago
properties  (the  "Chicago  Properties")  in 1998 and the Mojud  Building,  Long
Island City, New York (the "Mojud Building") on April 14, 1999 offset in part by
an increase in the rental among the New York properties.

The increase in interest  income was due to the proceeds  received from the sale
of the Chicago Properties and the Mojud Building invested in Commercial Paper.

The  decrease  in other  expenses  in 1999 as  compared  to 1998 is  principally
attributable to the sale of the Chicago Properties and the Mojud Building.

The decrease in real estate taxes was primarily  attributable to the sale of the
Chicago Properties and the Mojud Building.

The decrease in leasehold rentals was due to the sale of the ground lease of the
Chicago Properties.

The decrease in interest  expense was due to the  repayment of notes  payable to
the partners and mortgage principal balance.

The decrease in depreciation  and  amortization of real estate was primarily due
to the sale of the Chicago Properties and the Mojud Building.

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

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.

      The  Company  is  exposed  to  interest  rate  risk on its  variable  rate
mortgages.  On  September  30,  1999,  the  Company had total  mortgage  debt of
approximately  $21,347,488 of which approximately  $17,347,000 (or approximately
81%) is at a variable  rate.  The effect of a 1% change in the interest rates on
the Company's  mortgage debt would have resulted in a change in interest expense
of approximately $170,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.

      All of the Company's  mortgage debt is scheduled to mature within the next
12 months.  If the Company elects to refinance such mortgage debt upon maturity,
the Company would seek to manage its interest rate risk through the use of fixed
rate debt or interest rate  derivatives in conjunction  with variable rate debt.
The Company  believes that it can refinance  such mortgage debt at  commercially
reasonable rates, although there can be no assurances in this regard.
