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 accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States. Reference should be made to the Company's Annual
Report Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, 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 June 30, 2002 and the results of
operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001.

NOTE 3

The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
2002 and 2001 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 $926,327 (six months ended
June 30, 2002) and $184,156 (six months ended June 30, 2001) as compared with
net income of $1,033,683 and $291,513 respectively, as shown in the statements
of income. The differences result principally from depreciation expense which
continues to be recognized for tax purposes.

NOTE 5 - Other Income

On October 22, 2001, the Company signed a contract, subject to certain closing
conditions, to sell its only remaining property, a vacant commercial office
building located at 570 Broad Street, Newark, New Jersey, for a purchase price
of $11,500,000. In connection with the contract, the Company received
non-refundable deposits from the buyer in the amount of $1,500,000. In January
2002, due to the buyer's inability to satisfy the closing conditions, the
contract expired and the Company resumed marketing activities with respect to
the Property. The Company retained the non-refundable deposits from the buyer in
the amount of $1,500,000.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

As a result of the sales of the Company's remaining income producing properties
in 2000, the Company no longer derives income from rental operations. The
activity of the Company consists of marketing for sale its remaining non-income
producing property, a vacant office property located at 570 Broad Street,
Newark, New Jersey.

The real estate tax refund in 2001 was attributable to the settlement of tax
certiorari appeals filed in a prior year relating to the Company's Chicago
properties which had been sold in 1998 and the 1328 Broadway and 261 Fifth
Avenue properties which had been sold in 2000.

The decrease in interest income was due to the reduction of investments in
commercial paper as a result of the distributions made to partners during 2001
and 2002 of the net proceeds from the sales of properties.

The increase in real estate taxes in 2002 as compared to 2001 is principally
attributable to a tax refund received in 2001 for the 570 Broad Street property.

The decrease in other expenses in 2002 as compared to 2001 is principally
attributable to a decrease in professional fees.

Other income in 2002 relates principally to the Company's retention of a
non-refundable deposit in the amount of $1,500,000 received in 2001 from a
prospective buyer of the 570 Broad Street property pursuant to a contract to
sell the 570 Broad Street property, which was subject to certain closing
conditions. As a result of the prospective buyer's inability to satisfy the
closing conditions of the sales contract, the contract expired in accordance
with its terms in January of 2002, and the buyer's deposit was forfeited to the
Company. See Note 5 of the accompanying notes to the financial statements.

As of December 31, 2001, the Company had accrued (i) a special dividend of
$410,000 to its General Partners and Special Limited Partners and holders of
record of the PPI's as of the close of business on December 31, 2001 from its
available cash and (ii) a distribution in the amount of $280,965 in respect of
2001 net operating revenues. These amounts were paid during the six months ended
June 30, 2002.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

At June 30, 2002, the Company had no interest bearing indebtedness and
accordingly was not exposed to market risk with respect to changes in interest
rates, and does not anticipate a need to seek additional borrowings.
