                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.    General

      The accompanying consolidated financial statements, footnotes and
      discussions should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
      statements, related footnotes and discussions contained in the
      Partnership's annual report for the year ended December 31, 1995.

      The financial information contained herein is unaudited. In the opinion
      of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such
      financial information have been included. All adjustments are of a normal
      recurring nature except as discussed in Notes 3, 4 and 5. Certain amounts
      have been reclassified to conform to the September 30, 1996 presentation.
      The balance sheet at December 31, 1995 was derived from audited financial
      statements at such date.

      The results of operations for the nine and three months ended September
      30, 1996 and 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
      expected for the full year.

2.    Accounting Change

      On January 1, 1996, the Partnership adopted Statement of Financial
      Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
      Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of ", which
      requires impairment losses to be recognized for long-lived assets used in
      operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted
      cash flows are not sufficient to recover the asset's carrying amount. The
      impairment loss is measured by comparing the fair value of the asset to
      its carrying amount. The adoption of the SFAS has no effect on the
      Partnership's financial statements.

3.    Related Parties

      The Partnership incurred approximately $337,000 of property and asset
      management fees and approximately $134,000 of leasing and construction
      fees through February 28, 1996, payable to an affiliate of the general
      partner. As part of the sale of Fuji Loan, (described in Note 4), the
      Partnership agreed to retain new management and leasing agents for all of
      its properties. Effective March 1, 1996, the Partnership's properties are
      managed by Axiom Real Estate Management, Inc. and leasing activity is
      performed by the Galbreath Company, Newmark & Co. and Koll Company. These
      firms are not affiliates of the general partner.

      In connection with the sale of the Fuji Loan, Winthrop Financial
      Associates ("Winthrop") and certain of its affiliates entered into an

      agreement with the Investor Partnership, the Operating Partnership and an
      affiliate of Zeus Property LLC ("Zeus") with regard to amounts owed to
      Winthrop and its affiliates by the Investor Partnership and the Operating
      Partnership (the "Winthrop Debt Agreement"). Prior to this agreement,
      Winthrop and its affiliates were owed, in the aggregate, $47,161,000 by
      the Investor Partnership and the Operating Partnership. This amount is
      comprised of cash advances made by Winthrop to the Operating Partnership,
      as well as unpaid deferred fees related to the on-site management of the
      properties, asset management and syndication. This amount also includes
      accrued interest on these outstanding balances.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

3.    Related Parties (Continued)

      Under the Winthrop Debt Agreement, Winthrop and its affiliates
      contributed approximately $37,161,000 of the $47,161,000 to the Operating
      Partnership. The remaining $10,000,000 receivable has been evidenced by a
      promissory note issued by the Operating Partnership (the "Receivables
      Note") which is secured by a pledge of excess cash flow from 509 Fifth
      Avenue and 300 Park Avenue South and is payable only from those
      properties. Upon receiving consent of The Dime Savings Bank, the holder
      of the first mortgage, the Receivables Note is to be secured by second
      mortgages on 509 Fifth Avenue and 300 Park Avenue South. Winthrop then
      sold the Receivables Note to an affiliate of Zeus for a payment of $6
      million in cash. The Receivables Note has an annual base interest rate of
      6% and an additional annual contingent interest rate of 9%. Interest is
      payable only from available cash flow after payment of debt service on
      The Dime Savings Bank first mortgage. Interest, to the extent that it
      cannot be paid currently, accrues until the maturity of this Note on July
      31, 1997.

      On October 17, 1996 the Partnership borrowed approximately $1,755,000
      against the $19,550,000 credit line provided by Zeus.

4.    Debt Modification

      On February 28, 1996, Zeus purchased the existing debt held by the Fuji
      Bank Ltd. for $115 million. In connection with its purchase of the Fuji
      loan, Zeus agreed to grant the Operating Partnership certain concession
      (see "Item 2. Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial
      Condition").

5.    Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure


      A deed in lieu of foreclosure agreement was reached between the Operating
      Partnership and Sanwa Business Credit Corporation ("Sanwa") on January
      15, 1996. Pursuant to the deed in lieu of foreclosure agreement, the
      Operating Partnership transferred title to the property located at 227
      East 45th St. to Sanwa on January 24, 1996. In exchange, Sanwa released,
      as of the closing date, the Operating Partnership from all claims,
      demands, liabilities, obligations, actions and causes of any kind with
      regard to Sanwa, other than the second mortgage lien on 509 Fifth Avenue.
      The 509 Fifth Avenue second mortgage lien was subsequently released.

      As of year end, the balance related to the mortgage was approximately
      $16,628,000 which was secured by both 227 East 45th St. and 509 Fifth
      Avenue. In addition, the Sanwa note payable, which had an approximate
      $7,782,000 balance, was secured by both 227 East 45th St. and 509 Fifth
      Avenue. As a result of the above described transactions, the Operating
      Partnership has recognized an extraordinary gain of approximately
      $13,688,000. The property was stated at its fair value at December 31,
      1995 as a result of a recorded write-down.

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

           This Item should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
           Financial Statements and other Items contained elsewhere in this
           Report.

           Liquidity and Capital Resources

           The Partnership serves as the general partner of Nineteen New York
           Properties Limited Partnership (the "Operating Partnership"). All of
           the Operating Partnership's six remaining properties (the
           "Properties") are office buildings located in New York City. The
           Partnership's sole source of revenue is from distributions from the
           Operating Partnership and interest income on cash reserves. The
           Partnership is responsible for its operating expenses. The Operating
           Partnership receives rental revenue from tenants and is responsible
           for operating expenses, administrative expenses, capital
           improvements and debt service payments.

           The Partnership and the Operating Partnership had $334,000 of cash
           and cash equivalents and $8,792,000 of restricted cash at September
           30, 1996, as compared to $267,000 and $11,633,000, respectively, at
           December 31, 1995. Restricted cash includes amounts held in mortgage
           collateral accounts, restricted operating accounts, tenant security
           and utility deposits, and real estate tax escrows. The $67,000

           increase in cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 1996, as
           compared to December 31, 1995, was due to $5,123,000 of cash
           provided by operating activities and $1,664,000 of cash provided by
           financing activities, which was substantially offset by $6,720,000
           of cash used in investing activities. Cash used in investing
           activities consisted primarily of $6,230,000 of improvements to real
           estate, the majority of which were building improvements. Cash
           provided by financing activities consisted of a $2,841,000 decrease
           in restricted cash, $1,095,000 repaid to general partners and
           affiliates and $82,000 of mortgage principal payments.

           The Operating Partnership's only other source of liquidity is a
           $19,550,000 unsecured credit line provided by Zeus Property LLC
           ("Zeus"). This credit line can be used by the Operating Partnership
           to fund capital improvements and tenant lease-up costs at the Fuji
           Properties. However, any borrowings under this credit line are
           subject to Zeus' discretion. Accordingly, it is possible that the
           Operating Partnership may not be able to borrow against this credit
           line each time it deems it necessary. On October 17, 1996 the
           Partnership borrowed approximately $1,755,000 against the Zeus
           credit line to pay for tenant improvements.

           On February 28, 1996 Zeus purchased the existing debt held by The
           Fuji Bank Ltd. for $115 million. The Operating Partnership obtained
           a reduction in the current interest required to be paid under the
           modified loan which, based on current projections, will greatly
           reduce the likelihood of monetary default under the loan prior to
           February 28, 1998, the new maturity date for a portion of the loan.
           As part of the restructuring of the Fuji loan, each of the Operating
           Partnership's 535 and 545 Fifth Avenue, 1372 Broadway and 757 Third
           Avenue properties (the "Fuji Properties") were conveyed by the
           Operating Partnership to newly-created limited liability companies
           which are wholly-owned, indirectly, by the Operating Partnership and
           its partners.

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

           Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)

           The modified Fuji loan (the "Modified Loan") is comprised of several
           component non-recourse loans, all held by Zeus and its affiliates.
           The most senior loan component consists of a series of secured notes
           in the aggregate principal amount of $104,550,000, each having an

           annual interest rate of 295 basis points over 30-day LIBOR, maturing
           on February 28, 1998 unless extended at Zeus' option (the "Secured A
           Notes").

           A junior component consists of secured notes in the aggregate
           principal amount of $102,450,000, each having a fixed annual
           interest rate of 14% for the next three years and then 16.75%
           thereafter, maturing on February 28, 2016 (the "Secured B Notes").
           The Secured A Notes and Secured B Notes are collectively secured by
           first mortgages on the Fuji Properties. A third component is the
           unsecured $19,550,000 note (the "Unsecured Note") representing the
           additional financing expected to be drawn upon by the Operating
           Partnership to fund capital improvements and tenant lease-up costs
           with respect to the Fuji Properties. The Unsecured Note bears
           interest at a fixed annual rate of 14% for the next three years and
           then 16.75% thereafter and matures on February 28, 1998, unless
           extended at Zeus' option.

           In connection with the Modified Loan, loans in the form of cash
           advances and deferred fees that were made to the Partnership and the
           Operating Partnership by Affiliates of the General Partner were
           restructured. See Item 1, Note 4.

           After giving effect to the loan restructuring, the Operating
           Partnership's properties were encumbered by approximately
           $236,254,000 of principal amount of mortgage loans. The Partnership
           believes that current cash flow will be sufficient to fund the
           current debt service requirements on these loans until their
           maturity (December 31, 1997 with respect to the loans encumbering
           300 Park Avenue South and 509 Fifth Avenue and February 28, 1998
           with respect to the Fuji Properties). However, in the absence of a
           substantial improvement in the commercial rental market and the
           operations of the Properties, the Partnership will not be able to
           make the balloon payments due on these loans at maturity.
           Accordingly, if the Properties cannot be sold at prices sufficient
           to satisfy the debt, or the existing loans refinanced or modified,
           prior to their maturity, there is a substantial likelihood that some
           or all of the Properties will be lost through foreclosure. At
           present, it appears that the Partnership's original objective of
           capital appreciation will not be achieved and the Partnership's
           partners will not receive a return of a substantial amount of their
           original investment.

           On January 24, 1996, the Operating Partnership transferred the title
           to the property located at 227 East 45th St. to Sanwa Business
           Credit Corporation ("Sanwa") pursuant to a deed in lieu of
           foreclosure. In exchange, Sanwa released, as of the closing date,
           the Operating Partnership from all claims, demands, liabilities,
           obligations, actions and causes of any kind with regards to Sanwa,
           other than the second mortgage lien on 509 Fifth Avenue. The 509
           Fifth Avenue second mortgage lien was released subsequent to the
           transfer of 227 East 45th St. to Sanwa.

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

           Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)

           As part of the debt restructuring process, the Operating Partnership
           reviewed the Properties to determined whether they have suffered an
           impairment in value which is deemed to be other than temporary. The
           Partnership determined that, based upon current economic conditions
           and projected operational cash flows, the recovery of the carrying
           value of the Partnership's Properties was not likely. As a result,
           the Partnership wrote down its investment in the Properties by
           $22,500,000 in 1995 to their estimated fair value.

           There have been, and it is possible there may be other Federal,
           state and local legislation and regulations enacted relating to the
           protection of the environment and individual rights (such as the
           American with Disabilities Act). The Partnership is unable to
           predict the extent, if any, to which such new legislation or
           regulation might occur and the degree to which such existing or new
           legislation or regulations might adversely affect the Partnership's
           liquidity and capital resources.

           Real Estate Market

           The income and expenses of operating the Properties owned by the
           Operating Partnership are subject to factor's outside its control,
           such as the over-supply of similar properties, increases in
           unemployment, population shifts, or changes in patterns or needs of
           users. Expenses, such as local real estate taxes and miscellaneous
           expenses, are subject to change and cannot always be reflected in
           rental rate increases due to market conditions. In addition, there
           are risks inherent in owning and operating office buildings because
           such properties are labor intensive and are susceptible to the
           impact of economic and other conditions outside the control of the
           Partnership.

           These market conditions have and will continue to have a significant
           impact on the Partnership. In general, while the General Partners
           believe that the loan restructurings represent an accomplishment of
           the immediate goals set by the Operating Partnership, there will be
           little or no direct positive benefits for the Partnership unless
           there is a significant recovery in market conditions.

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

           Results of Operations

           Nine Months ended September 30, 1996 vs.  September 30, 1995

           The Partnership generated a net loss before extraordinary gain of
           approximately $12.9 million for the nine months ended September 30,
           1996, as compared to a net loss of approximately $11.6 million for
           the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The increase in net loss
           was due to a decrease in revenues which exceeded a decrease in
           expenses.

           Rental income decreased to approximately $32.7 million for the nine
           months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to approximately $37.3
           million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. Rental income
           was negatively impacted by the loss of the 227 East 45th property by
           approximately $2,340,000 coupled with a decrease in rental revenues
           at 757 Third Avenue and and 1372 Broadway of approximately
           $1,838,000 and $887,000, respectively, for the nine months ended
           September 30, 1996, as compared to 1995. These decreases were
           partially offset by an increase in rental income at 535 Fifth Avenue
           of approximately $576,000. The lower rental revenues were primarily
           the result of lower effective rental rates and decreased occupancy.
           All other properties remained relatively constant.

           Expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, as compared
           to 1995, declined by approximately $3,600,000 partially as a result
           of the loss of the 227 East 45th property. The decreases in overall
           operating expenses (i.e., real estate taxes, payroll, utilities,
           repairs and maintenance) of $1,946,000, interest expense of
           approximately $928,000, management fees of $1,192,000 and general
           and administrative expenses of $255,000 were partially offset by
           increases in amortization expense of $429,000 and depreciation
           expense of approximately $292,000.

           Operating and interest expenses declined as a result of the 227 East
           45th deed in lieu of foreclosure. Management fees declined due to
           the elimination of the asset management fee payable to a related
           party, the new management agreement (which changed the previous fee
           of 2.5% of cash receipts to a fixed fee) and the disposition of the
           227 East 45th Street property. General and administrative expenses
           declined as a result of the loss of the 227 East 45th property and a
           decrease in legal expenses. Depreciation expense increased due to

           the depreciation of tenant improvements placed in service in the
           prior year. Amortization expense increased due to the increase in
           leasing commissions and the amortization of professional fees
           associated with the mortgage refinancing.

           The extraordinary gain was recognized because the outstanding
           mortgage indebtedness encumbering the 227 East 45th Street property
           exceeded the Partnership's carrying value of the disposed property.

           As of September 30, 1996 and 1995, the current portfolio's occupancy
           was 78% and 90%, respectively. During the first nine months of 1996,
           the Operating Partnership signed new, renewal, extension, and
           expansion leases with sixteen tenants totaling 75,297 square feet at
           rental terms comparable to buildings of similar quality in the
           market. This leasing activity only slightly offset the decline in
           occupancy.

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

           Three Months ended September 30, 1996 vs.  September 30, 1995

           The Partnership generated a net loss of approximately $4.9 million
           for the three months ended September 30, 1996, as compared to a net
           loss of approximately $3.9 million for the three months ended
           September 30, 1995. The increase in net loss was due to a decrease
           in revenues which exceeded a decrease in expenses.

           Rental income decreased to approximately $10.3 million for the three
           months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to approximately $13.1
           million for the three months ended September 30, 1995. Rental income
           was negatively impacted by the loss of the 227 East 45th property by
           approximately $840,000 coupled with a decrease in rental revenues at
           757 Third Avenue, 545 Fifth Avenue and 1372 Broadway for the three
           months ended September 30, 1996, as compared to 1995. These
           decreases were partially offset by an increase in rental income at
           the Partnership's other Properties. The lower rental revenues were
           primarily the result of lower effective rental rates and decreased
           occupancy.

           Total expenses for the three months ended September 30, 1996, as
           compared to 1995, declined by $1,944,000 primarily as a result of
           the 227 East 45th deed in lieu of foreclosure. The decreases in
           overall operating expenses (i.e., real estate taxes, payroll,

           utilities, repairs and maintenance) of approximately $912,000,
           interest expense of $399,000, management fees of $517,000,
           amortization expense of $35,000 and depreciation expense of
           approximately $93,000 were slightly offset by an increase in general
           and administrative expenses of $12,000.

           Operating and interest expenses declined as a result of the loss of
           227 East 45th property. Management fees declined as a result of the
           elimination of the asset management fee payable to a related party,
           the new management agreement (which changed the previous fee of 2.5%
           of cash receipts to a fixed fee) and the disposition of the 227 East
           45th Street property. General and administrative expenses,
           amortization expense and depreciation expense remained relatively
           constant.
