                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  General

    The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared
in accordance  with the generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for interim
financial  information and with the  instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation  S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the  information  and
footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management,  all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals)  considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included.  Operating  results for the nine months ended  September 30, 2000
are not necessarily  indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ended December 31, 2000.

    The balance  sheet at December  31, 1999 has been  derived  from the audited
financial  statements  at that date but does not include all of the  information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting  principles for complete
financial statements.

    For further information,  refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Registrant  Company and  Subsidiaries'  annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.

    In August 1999, the Partnership  established two  wholly-owned  subsidiaries
namely,  475 Fifth  Avenue L.P.  and 475 Fifth - GP, Inc. 475 Fifth Avenue L.P.,
the interest of which is 99% owned by Registrant and 1% owned by 475 Fifth - GP,
Inc.  (The General  Partner),  acquired  ownership of the New York  building and
related operations.

    The  consolidated   financial   statements   include  the  accounts  of  the
Partnership and its wholly-owned  subsidiaries.  All  intercompany  accounts and
transactions have been eliminated.

2.  Rental Income

    In accordance  with the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board Statement No.
13,  "Accounting  for Leases," the  Partnership  recognizes  rental  income on a
straight-line  basis  over  the  fixed  term  of the  lease  period.  Step  rent
receivables  represent unbilled future rentals.  The following reconciles rental
income billed to rental income recognized.

3.  Leases

    Minimum future rentals under noncancellable operating leases as of September
30, 2000 are approximately as follows:

    Year ending December 31

In addition to the minimum  lease  amounts,  the leases  provide for  escalation
charges to the tenants for operating expenses and real estate taxes.  Escalation
charges have been included in rental income. For the three and nine months ended
September  30,  2000 and 1999,  escalation  charges  amounted  to  $369,712  and
$1,454,308 in 2000 and $524,064 and $1,512,458 in 1999, respectively.


4.   Transactions with General Partners and Affiliates

     Fees incurred and reimbursable expenses for the nine months ended September
30, 2000 are:

5.   Supplemental Disclosure of Cash Flow Information

     Cash paid for interest  during the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and
1999 amounted to $3,346,471 and $2,563,695 respectively.

6.   Sale of Colorado Building

     On June 30, 2000,  Registrant  sold its real property in Boulder,  Colorado
for $13,050,000 realizing a gain of approximately $5,111,000.  Proceeds from the
sale were  used to  partially  pay-off  the Fleet  Loan by  $10,000,000  and the
balance  was used for  capital  improvements  which  increase  the  value of the
remaining  properties  and for  leasing  commissions  related to new and renewed
leases.

     An escrow  account for  $434,466 was  established  from the proceeds of the
sale to be released to the seller upon  finding a  replacement  for a tenant who
applied for  bankruptcy  protection.  Recognition of gain on sale, to the extent
held in such escrow, has been deferred.

7.   Subsequent Event

     The Fleet Loan which matured in September,  2000 was refinanced in October,
2000.

8.   Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In December 1999, the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  ("SEC") issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin 101 ("SAB 101"), Revenue Recognition,  which discusses
the SEC's views on the  recognition of revenues from certain  transactions.  SAB
101  is  required  to be  adopted  by  the  end of the  2000  fiscal  year.  The
Partnership does not anticipate a material impact on its financial  position and
results of operations as a result of adopting SAB 101.

     In June 1998, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS") No. 133,  Accounting  for  Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities,  as amended, which is required to be adopted
effective  January 1, 2001 for entities  with fiscal  years ending  December 31,
2000.  SFAS No. 133, as amended,  requires the recognition of all derivatives on
the  balance  sheet  at fair  value.  Derivatives  that are not  hedges  must be
adjusted to fair value through income. Derivatives that are hedges, depending on
the nature of the hedge, will either be adjusted to fair value by offsetting the
change in the hedged assets,  liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings,
or recognized in other comprehensive  income until the hedged item is recognized
in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value will
be  immediately  recognized in earnings.  Because the  Partnership  does not use
derivatives,  management  does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 133,
as amended, will have an effect on the earnings or the financial position of the
Partnership.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     At September 30, 2000, Registrant had cash and receivables of approximately
$1,603,000  as  contrasted   to  accounts   payable  and  accrued   expenses  of
approximately  $4,102,000.  Registrant  measures its liquidity by its ability to
generate  sufficient cash flow from operations to meet its current operating and
debt service  requirements  on a short-term  and long-term  basis.  Registrant's
operations  have provided this  liquidity and are expected to continue to do so.
To the extent  additional  funds are required,  Registrant  may draw down on its
line-of-credit loan (the "Fleet Loan") and/or sell assets.

     In June 2000,  Registrant  sold its real property in Boulder,  Colorado for
$13,050,000  realizing a gain of approximately  $5.1 million.  Proceeds from the
sale were  used to  partially  pay-off  the Fleet  Loan by $10  million  and the
balance  was used for  capital  improvements  which  increase  the values of the
remaining  properties  and for  leasing  commissions  related to new and renewed
leases.

     During  the  quarter   ended   September   30,  2000,   Registrant   funded
approximately $2,103,000 of building and tenant improvements in New York and San
Antonio. Registrant continues to invest capital in improving its properties with
the goal of  increasing  revenues  from real  estate  operations  and  realizing
appreciation  in property  values.  Registrant  will continue to need capital to
fund additional tenant improvements as tenancies turn over at its properties.

     In August 1999,  Registrant's subsidiary acquired ownership of the New York
property and obtained a  $32,000,000  fixed rate  mortgage loan (the "475 Loan")
secured by that  property.  The  proceeds  of the 475 Loan were used to pay down
approximately  $23,381,000 of the Fleet Loan, to fund capital  improvements  and
leasing costs at 475 Fifth Avenue, and to augment working capital.

     The 475 Loan and the Fleet Loan have  provided  Registrant  with  available
capital  to acquire  properties,  fund  improvements  and  leasing  commissions,
repurchase outstanding Units, and otherwise fund capital requirements. The Fleet
Loan  which  matured  in  September,  2000 was  subsequently  refinanced  with a
$25,000,000  credit  facility  maturing  on  September  30,  2003.  The  cost of
Registrant's  financing ultimately must be offset by increased property revenues
or Registrant's operations and capital will be compromised.

     Cash  distribution  to Unitholders  during the three months ended September
30,2000  aggregated  $895,059 or $0.30 per Unit.  Registrant intends to maintain
this level of distribution through 2000 and, if possible,  thereafter.  However,
distributions   are  subject  to   suspension   or  reduction  to  meet  capital
requirements  and are  also  limited  by the  Fleet  Loan  to 90% of  cash  from
operations plus depreciation and amortization.

Results of Operations

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 versus 1999

     Rental income in 2000 is comparable to that of 1999 despite the sale of the
Colorado  building as a result of the  expiration of certain rent  abatements in
New York  and  escalations  in  rental  rates  at the New  York  and New  Jersey
buildings.  Lease  cancellation  fees were paid by certain tenants from New York
and San Antonio who moved out during the first half of year 2000.  Other  income
in 2000  decreased by 58.7% due to a tax refund for the New York  building and a
loan breakup fee both received in the prior year.

     Interest expense increased by 27.1% because of larger loan balances (only a
portion of the proceeds of the 475 Loan was used to pay down the Fleet Loan) and
higher  interest  rates.  Depreciation  increased  by  9.5% in  2000  from  1999
primarily because of additional  capital  improvements made by Registrant at 475
Fifth Avenue,  the Tumi Building,  and Alamo Towers.  Amortization  decreased by
23.6% because of the write-off of leasing  commissions for tenants who moved out
of the New York  building in  December  1999 and May 2000 and the  write-off  of
Colorado  leasing  commissions  upon sale of the property in June 2000. The 5.3%
increase in property  operating costs from 1999 to 2000 reflects  increased real
estate  taxes at the San  Antonio  and Las  Colinas,  Texas  buildings,  certain
non-recurring  repairs made to the various  buildings  and  utilities  and other
operating  costs  associated  with  increased  occupancy at certain  properties.
Management  fees  increased  by 1.1% from 1999 to 2000 due to  increased  rental
income  billed.  The bad debt expense  pertains to the write-off of a receivable
from a Colorado tenant. General and administrative expenses increased by 3.8% in
2000 primarily because of costs associated with changing  Registrant's  transfer
agent,  increased  expenses incurred in preparing  unitholders' tax information,
and increased auditing fees.

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

Results of Operations (continued)
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 versus 1999 (continued)

     Operations  during the nine months ended  September  30, 2000 resulted in a
net loss of  $1,985,035  as compared  to a net loss of  $574,013 in 1999.  After
adjusting for non-cash items (depreciation,  amortization and bad debt expense),
operations  generated cash flows of  approximately  $1,249,595  during the first
three quarters of 2000 and $2,663,962 in 1999 (a 53.1% decrease).  This decrease
in net cash  provided by operating  activities  is largely  attributable  to the
increased  interest  expense and the  reduction in other  income  because of the
one-time property tax refund for the New York building,  the lease  cancellation
fee in California and the loan break-up fee received in 1999.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 versus 1999

     Rental  income in 2000  decreased by 11.0% from that of 1999 as a result of
the sale of the Colorado  property.  Other income in 2000 increased by 32.4% due
to the collection of a New York receivable written-off in the prior year.

     Interest expense  increased by 8.2% because of increased  indebtedness from
the New York  refinancing in September 1999.  Depreciation  increased by 4.1% in
2000 from 1999  primarily  because of additional  capital  improvements  made by
Registrant  at  475  Fifth  Avenue,   the  Tumi  Building,   and  Alamo  Towers.
Amortization  decreased by 40.1% because of the write-off of leasing commissions
for tenants who moved out of the New York building in December 1999 and May 2000
and of Colorado leasing  commissions upon sale of the property in June 2000. The
2.7% increase in property operating costs from 1999 to 2000, despite the sale of
the Colorado property, reflects increased utilities and other operating costs in
certain  properties.  Management  fees are close to those of similar period last
year. General and  administrative  expenses decreased by 20.9% in 2000 primarily
because of the legal fee paid in 1999 relating to the loan break-up fee.

     Operations  during the three months ended  September 30, 2000 resulted in a
net loss of  $818,555  as  compared  to a net loss of  $395,310  in 1999.  After
adjusting  for  non-cash  items  (depreciation  and  amortization),   operations
generated cash flows of approximately  $158,479 during the third quarter of 2000
and $652,182 in 1999 (a 75.7%  decrease).  This decrease in net cash provided by
operating  activities is largely  attributable to the increased interest expense
after the New York refinancing and increased utilities and other operating costs
in certain properties.

Item 3:   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Interest Rates

     Registrant's  primary  market risk exposure is to changes in interest rates
on its mortgage loan borrowings.

     Registrant  obtained the 475 Loan, a fixed rate debt instrument,  to manage
its exposure to fluctuations in market  interest  rates.  Registrant  previously
obtained the Fleet Loan, a variable rate debt  instrument,  to enable it to draw
down funds as needed for capital improvements,  tenant improvements, and leasing
commissions on its diverse  portfolio of  properties.  As of September 30, 2000,
Registrant had approximately $13,168,000 of outstanding debt subject to variable
rates  (approximately 29% of outstanding debt) and approximately  $31,792,000 of
fixed rate  indebtedness  (approximately  71% of outstanding  debt). The average
interest rate on Registrant's  debt increased from 8.22% at December 31, 1999 to
8.63% at  September  30,  2000.  Registrant  does not  have any  other  material
market-sensitive financial instruments.  It is not Registrant's policy to engage
in  hedging  activities  for  previously  outstanding  debt  instruments  or for
speculative or trading purposes.

     A change of 1% in the index rate to which  Registrant's  variable rate debt
is tied would change the annual interest incurred by Registrant by approximately
$132,000,  based upon the balances  outstanding on variable rate  instruments at
September 30, 2000.
