NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2003

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, 2002, filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.

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, 2003 and the results of
operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.

The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

NOTE 2 - Taxes

The net income for Federal income tax purposes is $4,669,503 (six months ended
June 30, 2003) and $926,327 (six months ended June 30, 2002) as compared with
net income of $4,151,968 and $1,033,683 respectively, as shown in the statements
of operations. The differences result principally from depreciation expense
which continued to be recognized for income tax purposes through the date of
sale of the property and differences in the gain on sale of the 570 Broad Street
property for income tax purposes.

NOTE 3 - 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. Other income in 2003 relates to the receipt of real
estate tax refunds pertaining to properties sold in prior years.

NOTE 4 - Sale of 570 Broad Street Property

On June 13, 2003, the Company sold its only remaining property, a vacant
commercial office building located at 570 Broad Street, Newark, New Jersey, for
a purchase price of $7,000,000. In connection with consummation of this sale
transaction, the Company recognized a gain on the sale of approximately
$4,540,000 for financial statement purposes as compared with a gain of
approximately $5,160,000 for Federal income tax purposes.

In connection with the sale of the 570 Broad Street property, on June 20, 2003,
the Company declared a special dividend in the amount of $5,500,000 from the
sales proceeds of the 570 Broad Street property. In accordance with the
Company's partnership agreement, $2,750,000 was paid to the General Partners and
Special Limited Partners, and $2,750,000 was paid to the holders of its
participations of limited partnership interests in July 2003.

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. On April 24, 2003, the Company signed a contract to sell the
570 Broad Street property for a sales price of $7,000,000, and consummated such
sale on June 13, 2003. As a result of such sale, the Company has no remaining
real property. See Note 4 of the accompanying notes to the financial statements.

On June 20, 2003, the Company declared a special dividend in the amount of
$5,500,000 from the sales proceeds of the consummated sale of the 570 Broad
Street property. In accordance with the Company's partnership agreement,
$2,750,000 was paid to the General Partners and Special Limited Partners, and
$2,750,000 was paid to the holders of its participations of limited partnership
interests in July 2003.

The decrease in interest income was due to the reduction of investments in
commercial paper as a result of the payment of 2002 accrued distributions during
2003, as well as the impact of declining interest rates.

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 3 of the accompanying notes to the financial statements. Other
income in 2003 relates to the receipt of real estate tax refunds pertaining to
properties sold in prior years.

The increase in other expenses in 2003 as compared to 2002 is principally
attributable to an increase in insurance costs and repairs and maintenance
expenses at the 570 Broad Street property.

Gain on sale of real estate in 2003 relates to the sale of the 570 Broad Street
property.

As of December 31, 2002, the Company had accrued a distribution to its General
Partners, Special Limited Partners and holders of record of the PPI's as of the
close of business on December 31, 2001 in the amount of $450,538 in respect of
2002 net operating revenues. These amounts were paid prior to March 31, 2003.

were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There was no change in
