                     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, 1999, 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,
2000 and the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and
1999.

NOTE 3
------

      The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and
1999 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 $39,197,958 (March 31,
2000) and $3,122,954 (March 31, 1999) as compared with net income of $39,557,263
and $3,415,467 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 - Sale of Marbridge Building
-----------------------------------

      On January 18, 2000 IPA sold its 50% undivided interest in the 1328
Broadway property for a sales price of $43,500,000. In connection with this
transaction, IPA recognized a gain of approximately $37,400,000. The sales
proceeds were used to repay IPA's $4,000,000 share of the outstanding principal
balance of the loan payable to Apple Bank, sales commissions of $1,087,500 paid
to an affiliate of one of the general partners and other closing costs of
approximately $1,438,000. On January 18, 2000, IPA also declared a distribution
of $37,000,000 to its partners using the proceeds from the sale of 1328 Broadway
and the remaining proceeds from previous asset sales. An amount of $18,500,000
was paid to the General Partners and Special Limited Partners in January 2000
and $18,500,000 was paid to the holders of Participation Interests in February
2000. In connection with this transaction, IPA recognized a gain on sale of
approximately $37,035,455 for Federal income tax purposes as compared with
$37,489,074 for financial statement purposes.

NOTE 6 - Subsequent Event
-------------------------

      On May 8, 2000 IPA sold 245 Fifth Avenue and 261 Fifth Avenue properties
for $135,000,000. The sales proceeds were used to first pay closing costs and
other commitments, aggregating approximately $15,000,000. On June 14, 2000, IPA
made a special distribution to holders of record of its participations of
partnership interests as of the close of business on May 31, 2000. The
distribution totaled $120 million at a rate of $73.17 per participation
interest.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                     ---------------------------------------

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                  ---------------------------------------------

Gross revenue from rentals for 2000 decreased approximately 48.60% as compared
to 1999. The decrease was primarily due to the sale of 1440 Broadway and Mojud
Building.

The increase in interest income was due to the proceeds received form the sale
of properties invested in Commercial Paper.

The decrease in Real Estate Taxes and other expenses in 2000 as compared to 1999
is principally attributable to the sale of 1440 Broadway, Mojud Building and
Midland Building.

The decrease in interest expense was due to the repayment of mortgage principal
balance.

The decrease in depreciation and amortization of real estate was due to the sale
of 1440 Broadway, Mojud Building and Midland Building.

Liquidity and Capital Resources - IPA's cash generated from operations plus its
proceeds from the sale of properties provide it with the resources needed to
meet its anticipated obligations including operating expenses and required
distributions to partners.

The remaining properties owned by IPA are 570 Broad Street, Newark, New Jersey
and two pieces of unimproved land in Houston, Texas. IPA will continue to
explore the possible sale of these properties but there can be no assurances
that any such sale will be concluded.

           QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
           ----------------------------------------------------------

      Upon the repayment of all of its variable rate mortgage indebtedness in
December 1999, Registrant had significantly reduced its exposure to interest
rate risk, and, at that time, Registrant's sole interest bearing indebtedness
related to its obligation for one-half of the $8 million mortgage payable to
Apple Bank which bears interest at a fixed rate of 8 1/2 percent. Registrant
repaid its $4 million share of such obligation on January 18, 2000 using the
proceeds from the sale of its 50% tenancy in common interest of the 1328
Broadway property which secured such indebtedness. Should Registrant elect to
refinance any of its remaining properties, Registrant 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. Registrant believes that it
can refinance its properties at commercially reasonable rates, although there
can be no assurances in this regard.
