Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (unaudited)
Note A Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions
to Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all information and
footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial
position, results of operations and statement of cash flows in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The
accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which
are, in the opinion of the partners in Registrant, necessary for
a fair statement of the results for such interim periods. The
partners in Registrant believe that the accompanying unaudited
condensed financial statements and the notes thereto fairly
disclose the financial condition and results of Registrant's
operations for the periods indicated and are adequate to make the
information presented therein not misleading.
Note B Interim Period Reporting
The results for the interim period are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for a full year.
Registrant was organized on March 21, 1958.
Registrant owns the tenant's interest in the master operating
leasehold (the "Master Lease") of the buildings located at 500
and 512 Seventh Avenue and 228 West 38th Street, New York, New
York (the "Property"). Registrant's partners are Peter L. Malkin
and Thomas N. Keltner, Jr. (the "Partners"). The land underlying
the buildings is owned by an unaffiliated third party and is
leased to Registrant under a long-term ground lease (the
"Lease"). The current term of the Lease expires on May 1, 2024.
The Lease provides for one 21-year renewal option. If this
option is exercised, the Lease will expire on May 1, 2045. The
annual rent payable by Registrant under the Lease is $487,500
during the current and the renewal term.
Registrant does not operate the Property, but
subleases the Property to 500-512 Seventh Avenue Associates (the
"Sublessee") pursuant to a net operating sublease (the
"Sublease"), the current renewal term of which will expire on
April 30, 2024. The Sublease provides for one renewal option
co-extensive with the Lease. Peter L. Malkin, a partner in
Registrant, is also a partner in Sublessee. The Partners in
Registrant are also members of the law firm of Wien & Malkin LLP,
counsel to Registrant and to Sublessee (the "Counsel"). See Note
C of this Item 1 ("Note C").
Under the Sublease, Sublessee must pay (i) annual
basic rent of $1,167,500 during the current renewal term and the
-4-<PAGE>
Navarre-500 Building Associates
March 31, 1999
additional renewal term (the "Basic Rent") and (ii) additional
rent to Registrant during the current term and the renewal term
equal to 50% of Sublessee's net operating profit in excess of
$620,000 for each lease year ending June 30 (the "Additional
Rent").
There was no Additional Rent paid by Sublessee for the
lease year ended June 30, 1998. Additional Rent income is
recognized when earned from the Sublessee, at the close of the
lease year ending June 30. No Additional Rent is accrued by
Registrant for the period between Sublessee's lease year and
Registrant's fiscal year.
Note C Supervisory Services
Registrant pays Counsel, for supervisory services and
disbursements, $40,000 per annum (the "Basic Payment") plus 10%
of all distributions to Participants in any year in excess of the
amount representing a return at the rate of 23% per annum on
their remaining cash investment in Registrant (the "Additional
Payment"). At March 31, 1999, such remaining original cash
investment was $3,200,000, representing the original cash
investment of the Participants in Registrant.
No remuneration was paid during the three month period
ended March 31, 1999 by Registrant to either of the Partners as
such. Pursuant to the fee arrangements described herein,
Registrant paid Counsel $10,000 of the Basic Payment for
supervisory services for the three month period ended March 31,
1999.
The supervisory services provided to Registrant by
Counsel include legal, administrative and financial services.
The legal and administrative services include acting as general
counsel to Registrant, maintaining all of its partnership and
Participant records, performing physical inspections of the
Property, reviewing insurance coverage and conducting annual
partnership meetings. Financial services include monthly receipt
of rent from Sublessee, payment of monthly rent to the fee owner,
payment of monthly and additional distributions to the
Participants, payment of all other disbursements, confirmation of
the payment of real estate taxes, review of financial statements
submitted to Registrant by Sublessee, review of financial
statements audited by and tax information prepared by
Registrant's independent certified public accountant, and
distribution of such materials to the Participants. Counsel also
prepares quarterly, annual and other periodic filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and applicable state
authorities.
Reference is made to Note B of Item 1 (Note "B") for a
description of the terms of the Sublease between Registrant and
Sublessee. The respective interests, if any, of the Partners in
-5-<PAGE>
Navarre-500 Building Associates
March 31, 1999
Registrant and Sublessee arise solely from their respective
ownership of participations, if any, in Registrant and, in the
case of Mr. Malkin, his ownership of a partnership interest in
Sublessee. The Partners receive no extra or special benefit not
shared on a pro rata basis with all other Participants in
Registrant or partners in Sublessee. However, each of the
Partners, by reason of his respective partnership interest in
Counsel, is entitled to receive his pro rata share of any legal
fees or other remuneration paid to such law firm for legal and
supervisory services rendered to Registrant and Sublessee.
As of March 31, 1999, the Partners owned of record and
beneficially $13,125 participations in Registrant, representing
.41% of the currently outstanding participations therein.
In addition, as of March 31, 1999, certain of the
Partners in Registrant (or their respective spouses) held
additional Participations as follows:
Trusts for the benefit of members of Peter L. Malkin's
family owned of record and beneficially $30,000 of
Participations. Mr. Malkin disclaims any beneficial
ownership of such Participations, except that such
Trusts are required to complete scheduled payments to
Mr. Malkin.
Peter L. Malkin, Trustee of Mattee Saunders 1983 Trust,
owned $7,500 of Participations. Mr. Malkin disclaims
any beneficial ownership of such Participations.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
As stated in Note B, Registrant was organized for the
purpose of acquiring the Master Lease subject to the Sublease.
Basic Rent received under the Sublease is used to pay annual rent
due under the Master Lease and the Basic Payment to Counsel for
supervisory services. The balance of the Basic Rent is
distributed to the Participants. Additional Rent is distributed
to the Participants after the Additional Payment to Counsel. See
Note C above. Pursuant to the Sublease, Sublessee has assumed
sole responsibility for the condition, operation, repair,
maintenance and management of the Property. Registrant has no
requirement to maintain substantial reserves or otherwise
maintain liquid assets to defray any operating expenses of the
Property.
Registrant does not pay dividends. During the three
month period ended March 31, 1999, Registrant made regular
monthly distributions of $83.33 for each $5,000 participation
($1,000 per annum for each $5,000 participation). There are no
legal or contractual restrictions on Registrant's present or
future ability to make distributions; however, the amount of such
-6-<PAGE>
Navarre-500 Building Associates
March 31, 1999
distributions depends solely on the ability of Sublessee to make
payments of Basic Rent and Additional Rent to Registrant in
accordance with the terms of the Sublease. Registrant expects to
make distributions so long as it receives the payments provided
for under the Sublease. See Note B of Item 1 above.
Registrant's results of operations are affected
primarily by the amount of rent payable to it under the Sublease.
The amount of Additional Rent payable to Registrant is affected
by the cycles in the New York City economy and real estate rental
market. It is difficult for management to forecast the New York
City real estate market over the next few years. The following
summarizes, with respect to the current period and the
corresponding period of the previous year, the material factors
affecting Registrant's results of operations for such periods.
Total income remained the same for the three month period
ended March 31, 1999 as compared with the three month period ended
March 31, 1998.
Total expenses remained the same for the three month period
ended March 31, 1999 as compared with the three month period ended
March 31, 1998.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
There has been no significant change in Registrant's
liquidity for the three month period ended March 31, 1999 as
compared with the three month period ended March 31, 1998.
Registrant anticipates that funds for working capital
will continue to be provided by Sublessee through rental payments
made in accordance with the terms of the Sublease. Registrant is
not required to maintain substantial reserves to defray any
operating expenses of the Property. Registrant foresees no need
to make material commitments for capital expenditures while the
Sublease is in effect.
Inflation
Registrant believes that there has been no material
change in the impact of inflation on its operations since the
filing of its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1998, which report and all exhibits thereto are
incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
The Property of Registrant is the subject of the following
pending litigation:
Wien & Malkin LLP, et. al. v. Helmsley-Spear, Inc., et.
al. On June 19, 1997 Wien & Malkin LLP and Peter L. Malkin filed
an action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, against
Helmsley-Spear, Inc. and Leona Helmsley concerning various
partnerships which own, lease or operate buildings managed by
Helmsley-Spear, Inc., including Registrant's property. In their
complaint, plaintiffs sought the removal of Helmsley-Spear, Inc.
as managing and leasing agent for all of the buildings.
Plaintiffs also sought an order precluding Leona Helmsley from
exercising any partner management powers in the partnerships. In
August, 1997, the Supreme Court directed that the foregoing
claims proceed to arbitration. As a result, Mr. Malkin and Wien
& Malkin LLP filed an arbitration complaint against Helmsley-
Spear, Inc. and Mrs. Helmsley before the American Arbitration
Association. Helmsley-Spear, Inc. and Mrs. Helmsley served
answers denying liability and asserting various affirmative
defenses and counterclaims; and Mr. Malkin and Wien & Malkin LLP
filed a reply denying the counterclaims. By agreement dated
December 16, 1997, Mr. Malkin and Wien & Malkin LLP (each for
their own account and not in any representative capacity) reached
a settlement with Mrs. Helmsley of the claims and counterclaims
in the arbitration and litigation between them. Mr. Malkin and
Wien & Malkin LLP are continuing their prosecution of claims in
the arbitration for relief against Helmsley-Spear, Inc.,
including its termination as the leasing and managing agent for
various entities and properties, including the Registrant's
Sublessee.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Participants.
On December 18, 1998, the Partners mailed to the
Participants a STATEMENT ISSUED BY THE AGENTS IN CONNECTION WITH
THE SOLICITATION OF CONSENTS OF THE PARTICIPANTS (the
"Statement") requesting their authorization for the designation
of new successor agents. The details of the Partners' Proposal
are provided in the Definitive Proxy Statement which was filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Schedule 14-A on
December 17, 1998, and is incorporated by reference. On January
15, 1999, the Partners mailed to the non-responding Participants
a request for a response to the solicitation of consents and on
February 17, 1999, the Partners mailed to the Participants notice
that they received the necessary consents for the appointment of
new successor agents.
