("Registrant") is a Delaware limited partnership organized on November 25, 1985 pursuant to the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act. The general partners of Registrant are 1345 Realty Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Corporate General Partner"), and Robert F. Gossett, Jr. (the "Individual General Partner") (collectively, the "General Partners"). The limited partners of Registrant are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Limited Partners." Registrant organized two subsidiaries in March 1999 in connection with the financing of its property at 475 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York. One subsidiary, 475 Fifth Avenue Limited Partnership (the "Subsidiary Partnership"), a Delaware limited partnership, owns 475 Fifth Avenue. The other subsidiary, 475 Fifth-GP, Inc. (the "Subsidiary Corporation"), a Delaware corporation, is the sole general partner of the Subsidiary Partnership. Registrant is the sole limited partner of the Subsidiary Partnership, with a 99% interest in all items of income, gain, loss, and deduction, and the sole shareholder of the Subsidiary Corporation. Registrant's business consists of owning and leasing to others the properties described in Item 2 below. Registrant's properties are leveraged as described below. On March 26, 1986, Registrant commenced an offering (the "Offering") of $80,000,000 of depositary units of limited partnership interest (the "Units"). Registrant terminated the Offering in September 1987, having issued 3,200,000 Units ($80,000,000) and received net proceeds from the Offering (after deduction for organization and offering expenses of $5,948,103) aggregating $74,051,897. Since the Offering, Registrant has invested aggregate funds in excess of $100,000,000 (including $40,000,000 of financing proceeds) in acquiring and improving its properties, which currently number six. Rental revenue from the following tenant at Registrant's properties each accounted for more than 10% of Registrant's total rental revenue for each of the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001, and 2002: a. For 2000, GTE Directories Corporation ("GTE") as tenant in the Directory Building (18%). b. For 2001, GTE as tenant in the Directory Building (20%). c. For 2002, Verizon Directories Corp. ("Verizon"), a successor to GTE, as tenant in the Directory Building (20%). 475 Fifth Avenue Loan On August 9, 1999, the Subsidiary Partnership obtained a first mortgage loan (the "475 Loan") from Heller Financial, Inc. ("Heller") in the amount of $32,000,000. On such date, Registrant paid down approximately $23,381,000 of the Fleet Loan (see "Fleet Bank Loan" below) to release the lien of the Fleet Loan from 475 Fifth Avenue and subject the property to the lien of the 475 Loan. The balance of proceeds borrowed by the Subsidiary Partnership from Heller after payment of loan broker fees and costs of approximately $329,000 and other closing costs of approximately $505,000, were used to provide cash to fund capital improvements and leasing costs at 475 Fifth Avenue and to augment working capital. As of March 20, 2003, the outstanding principal balance of the 475 Loan was approximately $31,158,546. The 475 Loan is evidenced by a Consolidated and Restated Promissory Note, a Mortgage Consolidation, Assignment of Rents, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing, and a Hazardous Substance Indemnification Agreement (collectively, the "475 Loan Agreements"). The 475 Loan matures on September 1, 2009 and bears interest at a rate of 8.27% per annum. The 475 Loan requires monthly payments of interest plus principal payments based on a 30-year amortization schedule. The monthly payments amount to $240,855. The Subsidiary Partnership may prepay the 475 Loan, in full but not in part, on the first day of any calendar month and upon at least 30 days' prior written notice, upon payment of all accrued and unpaid interest and any fees and costs, together with an additional payment equal to the greater of (i) an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the then outstanding principal amount or (ii) a yield maintenance amount equal to the present value of a series of monthly amounts assumed to be paid from the date of prepayment through the maturity date of the 475 Loan. The yield maintenance amount preserves for the holder of the 475 Loan Agreements (the "Holder") a fixed yield tied to a United States Treasury obligation with a term equal to that remaining on the 475 Loan on the date of prepayment. Any payments not received by the Holder within 10 days after the due date will incur a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of such payment. Overdue amounts, whether at maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise will bear interest at a rate equal to five percent (5%) above the otherwise applicable interest rate. The 475 Loan is secured by a first mortgage lien, an assignment of rents, a security agreement, and a fixture filing on 475 Fifth Avenue, including the improvements, machinery, equipment, mechanical systems, personal property, management contracts, permits, certificates, licenses, agreements, trademarks, trade names, books and records, and any monies on deposit with or for the benefit of the Holder relating to this property. This loan also is secured by an assignment of Registrant's management agreement with the Subsidiary Partnership. Heller sold the 475 Loan pursuant to a mortgage-backed securitized plan as of February 10, 2000. The 475 Loan is currently serviced by Midland Loan Services. The 475 Loan currently has three separate reserves: 1. The first, a property tax reserve, requires monthly payments sufficient to enable all real estate taxes against 475 Fifth Avenue to be paid before they become due and payable. The property tax reserve has a balance of approximately $337,964 as of March 20, 2003; 2. The second, a replacement reserve, was funded with $200,000 of the proceeds of the 475 Loan. This reserve is to be utilized to fund capital improvements reasonably approved in advance by Heller. The replacement reserve accrues interest for the Subsidiary Partnership's benefit at a "non-personal money market rate." If the balance of this reserve falls below $200,000, the Subsidiary Partnership must make monthly deposits of $4,000 until the balance of the replacement reserve equals $200,000. As of March 20, 2003, the Subsidiary Partnership had not utilized any funds from the replacement reserve and the balance in this account was approximately $202,230; 3. The third, a repair reserve, was funded with $1,967,000 of the proceeds of the 475 Loan and combined with an additional repair reserve of $533,000. This reserve is utilized to fund capital 2 improvements determined in the Subsidiary Partnership's sole discretion. The capital improvements reserve accrues interest for the Subsidiary Partnership's benefit at a "non-personal money market rate." As of March 20, 2003, the Subsidiary Partnership had funded capital improvements aggregating approximately $2,633,000 from the repair reserve. The balance in this account was approximately $300. The 475 Loan Agreements require the Holder's prior written consent to the execution or material modification or amendment of any lease of 15,000 or more rentable square feet at 475 Fifth Avenue. An event of default under the 475 Loan Agreements includes the following: 1. the failure to make any payment within 10 days of the due date thereof; 2. any sale or transfer of 475 Fifth Avenue or any interest therein or any controlling interest therein; 3. the imposition of any lien against 475 Fifth Avenue; and 4. filing of any petition under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any similar law or regulation by or against Registrant, the Subsidiary Partnership, or the Subsidiary Corporation. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the 475 Loan Agreements, the Holder may enforce one or more of its remedies, including the following: 1. the right to declare all principal, interest, and other amounts due under the 475 Loan to be due and payable immediately; 2. the right to require that 475 Fifth Avenue (including all equipment, fixtures, agreements, and other rights and interests relating thereto) be sold at auction to the highest bidder; and 3. to take possession of, manage, and collect the rents from the property. The Subsidiary Partnership and Robert F. Gossett, Jr., the Individual General Partner of Registrant, have agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Holder and its officers, directors, employees, shareholders, agents, and affiliates from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, deficiencies, demands, claims, actions, assessments, losses, costs, expenses, interest, fines, penalties, and damages resulting from or arising out of or by virtue of the presence of hazardous materials on or from 475 Fifth Avenue. Mr. Gossett also has assumed joint and several liability to pay the Holder for certain losses, damages, costs, and expenses incurred by the Holder in connection with the 475 Loan . Fleet Bank Loan Registrant's properties, other than 475 Fifth Avenue, are subject to the lien of a first mortgage line-of-credit loan (the "Fleet Loan") from Fleet National Bank ("Fleet"). On August 9, 1999, the Fleet Loan was divided into the following two notes: a note in the amount of $22,594,880 and secured by a mortgage on 475 Fifth Avenue, which note was repaid in full to Fleet and which mortgage was consolidated with and into Heller's mortgage on that property; and, a note in the amount of $26,405,120 and secured by Registrant's five other properties. On October 12, 2000 Registrant entered into an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement providing for maximum gross borrowings of $25,000,000. During 2000 and 2001, Registrant obtained aggregate advances of approximately $24,941,440 under the amended Fleet Loan, which included the outstanding balance of approximately 3 $13,141,440 under the Fleet Loan immediately prior to the amendment. As of March 25, 2003, the outstanding principal balance of the Fleet Loan was approximately $23,662,200. The Fleet Loan is evidenced by an Amended and Restated Promissory Note, an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, and an Environmental Compliance and Indemnification Agreement (collectively, the "Fleet Loan Agreements"). The Fleet Loan is secured by a first mortgage lien, an assignment of rents, a security agreement, and a fixture filing on and from each of Registrant's properties, other than 475 Fifth Avenue, including the improvements, equipment, furnishings, proceeds, books and records, and all payments related thereto, which consists of the following five properties: the LightCross Building (formerly the Monterey Park Building, American Color Building and the GE Medical Systems Office Building); the Directory Building; the Tumi Building (formerly the Austin Place Building); the Marathon Oil Building; and the Alamo Towers. The Fleet Loan has an initial maturity date of September 30, 2003 which, subject to Registrant's compliance with certain financial covenants, may be extended by Registrant for two additional one-year periods. Upon exercising each extension, Registrant must pay an extension fee equal to 0.25% of the then outstanding principal balance. Registrant intends to exercise its extension option. In 2000, Registrant incurred fees and expenses aggregating $609,259 upon amending the Fleet Loan, including a loan facility fee of $250,000. As of the date of this Report, Registrant had an unused borrowing capacity of $58,560 under the Fleet Loan. The Fleet Loan bears interest on each advance of funds from the date of such advance at Fleet's Prime Rate, plus one-half percent (0.5%) per annum or, if Registrant so chooses, at the LIBOR rate (offered rates for Eurodollar deposits) (any such rate, a "Fixed Rate"), plus two percent (2.0%) per annum. The Prime Rate is the rate announced from time to time by Fleet as a means of pricing some of its loans to customers (not necessarily the lowest rate actually charged to any customer class or category). Registrant may elect to pay interest based on a Fixed Rate on the whole or a portion of the outstanding principal amount, upon notice to Fleet, but only in amounts of at least $1,000,000 and in additional integral multiples of $100,000. As of March 25, 2003, the Prime Rate was 4.25% (interest using this rate would be at 4.75%) and the 30-day Fixed Rate was 1.325% (interest using this rate would be at 3.325%). The entire aggregate outstanding balance of the Fleet Loan as of March 25, 2003 bears interest at the rate of 3.325%. The Fleet Loan requires monthly payments of interest plus principal payments equal to 1/500th of the then outstanding principal balance. The Fleet Loan may be prepaid at any time, on notice, in whole or in part (a minimum of $1,000,000 and additional integral multiples of $100,000). Any such prepayment will be without premium or penalty with respect to funds bearing interest based on the Prime Rate or, if the prepayment is made on the last day of the applicable interest period, with respect to funds bearing interest based on a Fixed Rate; however, a prepayment at any other time of funds bearing interest based on a Fixed Rate will require payment of a breakage fee, which guarantees Fleet a fixed rate yield maintenance tied to United States Treasury obligations for the period from the date of prepayment to the end of the applicable interest period. Any payments not received by Fleet within 10 days after the due date will incur a late charge equal to four percent (4%) of the amount of such payment. Overdue amounts, whether at maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise will bear interest at a rate equal to four percent (4%) above the otherwise applicable interest rate. The Fleet Loan Agreements contain continuing covenants regarding Registrant's financial condition and the conduct of its operations. Registrant's debt service coverage ratio (the ratio of 4 projected net income from operations of Registrant's properties, adjusted for depreciation, amortization, fees paid to the General Partners, and step rent receivables, to projected loan amortization payments) cannot be less than 1.50 to 1.0 and its loan to value ratio (the ratio of the outstanding principal balance of the Fleet Loan to the appraised value of the secured properties) cannot exceed fifty-five percent (55%). In addition, Registrant must maintain a liquid net worth (cash, short-term investments, and marketable securities) of at least $1,000,000 and its total liabilities may not exceed sixty percent (60%) of the appraised value of the secured properties. The Fleet Loan Agreements also provide that Registrant may distribute to its partners up to 90% of the sum of its cumulative net income from real estate operations, adjusted for depreciation, amortization and write-off of step rent receivables. Compliance with this distribution provision is tested as of the last day of each fiscal quarter for the period from and including January 1, 2001 through the date as of which compliance is tested. As of December 31, 2002, Registrant was in compliance with each of these loan covenants. Registrant must also obtain Fleet's consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to any lease of 10,000 or more rentable square feet. Fleet's mortgage lien against any of Registrant's secured properties will be released only upon payment of an amount equal to 110% of the loan amount allocated to such property (or 100% of the gross sales price or principal amount of refinancing, if greater, for Alamo Towers and the Directory Building). In addition, such lien will be released only if Registrant's remaining properties satisfy the debt service coverage ratio and loan to value ratio. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Fleet Loan Agreements (which includes the failure to make any payment within 10 days of the due date thereof and a failure to comply with its financial covenants which continues for 30 days), Fleet may enforce one or more of its remedies, including the right to (i) declare all principal and interest on the Fleet Loan to be due and payable immediately, (ii) require any or all of Registrant's secured properties (including all equipment, fixtures, agreements, and other rights and interests relating thereto) to be sold at auction to the highest bidder, and (iii) collect any and all rents from the properties. Registrant has also agreed to indemnify and hold harmless Fleet and its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, contractors and subcontractors, and their respective successors and assigns from and against any and all claims, liability, costs, and expenses arising out of the presence and/or clean-up of hazardous materials on or affecting Registrant's secured properties. Financing Policies The General Partners expect to approximate Registrant's original intention of a loan to value ratio of 50%. Accordingly, it is expected that Registrant's total borrowings will approximate 50% of the sum of (i) the appraised values of its six properties plus (ii) the purchase price of additional properties acquired by Registrant. Registrant is not limited by its Partnership Agreement as to borrowing for any individual property; the aggregate borrowings on all properties may not exceed an amount equal to the sum of (x) 60% of the aggregate purchase price of all properties which are not refinanced plus (y) 80% of the aggregate value of all refinanced properties. As of December 31, 2002, Registrant had a loan to appraised value ratio of approximately 54.2%. The Fleet Loan and the 475 Loan have enabled Registrant to acquire and improve properties, but have increased the risk of loss on its properties. Registrant may acquire additional properties, the purchase of which would be funded out of the proceeds of sale of one or more of Registrant's current properties. Registrant may also use any sale proceeds to fund further tenant improvements and capital improvements at its properties, particularly 475 Fifth Avenue and the Alamo Towers. Registrant has no current agreements to sell any of its existing properties. To be profitable, Registrant's properties 5 must generate cash flow in amounts sufficient to not only cover operating expenses but also to pay all financing costs. Registrant's objectives in making its investments continue to be to (i) preserve and protect Registrant's capital; (ii) provide long term capital appreciation, generating long term capital gains for federal income tax purposes upon sale of the properties; (iii) build up equity through the reduction of mortgage loans encumbering the properties; and (iv) provide cash distributions from operations which may be partially tax-sheltered. There is no assurance that these objectives will be achieved. Competition The Directory Building is fully leased to a single tenant and does not face competition from other properties during the term of such lease. The LightCross Building is also now fully leased to a single tenant on a net lease or substantially equivalent basis. However, upon termination of these leases, and for any of Registrant's other properties, Registrant does, and will continue to, compete with other properties for tenants. Depending upon market conditions and occupancy rates at the time and place of any vacancies in Registrant's properties, there is currently and there may be, in the future, intense competition in obtaining tenants to fill such vacancies. Furthermore, such competition has resulted and may result, because of reduced rental rates and required concessions to tenants, in decreases in the rental revenue received by Registrant and capital outlays necessary to fund tenant improvements. See Item 2 - "Properties" for a discussion of market conditions in the areas in which Registrant currently competes for tenants. Employees Registrant currently employs 20 persons (4 of whom are part-time employees). The business of Registrant is managed by the General Partners. See Item 10 - "Directors and Executive Officers of the Registrant" and Item 13 - "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions." Item 2. Properties. LightCross Building (formerly Monterey Park Building, American Color Building and GE Medical Systems Office Building) On July 10, 1986, Registrant acquired the LightCross Building, located in Monterey Park, California, for approximately $4,182,000, inclusive of acquisition fees. Registrant owns fee title to the LightCross Building and its 90,000 square feet of underlying land, subject to the lien of the Fleet Loan (See Item 1. - "Business-Fleet Bank Loan"). The property was built in 1985 and contains 22,250 net rentable square feet (increased from 20,250 square feet for previous tenancies). The property had been a unique combination of office space (approximately 71%) and warehouse space, but the building has been reconfigured solely for use as office, design and development space for use pursuant to a net lease for the entire premises. The building is 100% leased to LightCross, Inc. pursuant to a lease dated as of November 17, 2000. The initial term of the lease is ten (10) years from September 1, 2001, subject to two five-year renewal options. The lease requires approximate annual net rent of $433,915 through August 31, 2003 ($19.50 per square foot), increasing to $446,197 in the two-year period ending August 31, 2005 ($20.05 per square foot), $458,970 in the two-year period ending August 31, 2007 ($20.63 per square foot), $472,254 in the two-year period ending August 31, 2009 ($21.22 per square foot), and $486,070 in the 6 two-year period ending August 31, 2011 ($21.85 per square foot). The lease shall require payment of a fair market rental during any renewal periods. This lease is a net lease and, except for certain structural and mechanical conditions, the tenant is responsible for all costs, expenses, and obligations relating to the premises and the use, operation, occupancy, management, maintenance, and repair of the building, including insurance and real estate taxes. LightCross is expected to be a large user of electricity. Electric rates in this area have risen greatly, the effect of which could adversely affect LightCross's financial condition. Registrant has expended an aggregate of approximately $1,593,000 in capital improvements and tenant improvements in connection with this lease, none of which were incurred in 2002. The improvements included enclosing the rear loading bays, converting warehouse space to office space, building a new entrance area, improving distribution of electricity, and contributing to the tenant's construction of a dust-free "clean room." In addition, the tenant expended approximately $800,000 to make further improvements to the premises. Registrant is currently replacing the roof on the LightCross Building, at an estimated cost of approximately $39,000. For the year ended December 31, 2002, Registrant paid approximately $42,000 in real property taxes with respect to the LightCross Building. At December 31, 2002, such taxes were imposed at a rate of 1.2304% on an assessed value of $3,425,000. The tenant has been granted a right of first offer to purchase the LightCross Building on the same terms and conditions on which Registrant may be willing to sell the building to a third party. The Monterey Park area includes approximately 2,123,000 square feet of office space. The vacancy rate for commercial properties in such area approximates 8.0% for office buildings. Net rents (like the LightCross lease) for office space approximate $16.00 per square foot and gross rents approximate $19.80 to $24.60 per square foot in this area. Registrant obtained rents from LightCross in excess of those otherwise available in the Monterey Park area in consideration of agreeing to pay for construction of the "clean room" at an approximate cost of $800,000. The Directory Building (formerly, the IBM Building) On October 27, 1986, Registrant acquired the Directory Building, located in Las Colinas, Texas, for a purchase price of approximately $24,580,000, inclusive of acquisition fees. Registrant owns fee title to the Directory Building and its 6.67 acres of underlying land, subject to the lien of the Fleet Loan. The Directory Building was built in 1982 and contains approximately 152,100 net rentable square feet (reduced from 154,300 square feet during IBM's tenancy). The building is 100% leased to Verizon pursuant to a lease dated as of April 20, 1994, as subsequently amended by amendments dated as of July 29, 1994 and as of February 22, 1995 and as extended by an Extension Agreement and Supplement dated as of March 31, 2000 and a Second Extension Agreement and Supplement which became effective as of January 1, 2003. The renewed initial term of the lease expires on December 31, 2007, subject to two (2) five-year renewal options at a rate equal to 95% of the then market rate. Verizon has the right to buy out the lease after December 31, 2005 upon payment to Registrant of a penalty equal to the unamortized portion of tenant improvements, leasing commissions, and rent concessions funded by Registrant in connection with this most recent extension. Registrant made a rent concession to Verizon in the approximate amount of $256,700 for the period from January 1, 2003 to September 30, 2003. The extended lease reduces the approximate monthly rent to $212,336 ($16.75 per square foot, reduced from $20.50 per square foot but requiring an additional $1.50 per square foot in electric charges from the tenant). Verizon must also pay additional rent equal to all electric charges plus 7 excess operating expenses over base levels (2000 is the base year for calendar year 2003 and 2003 is the base year for all subsequent years). Registrant has expended an aggregate of approximately $3,348,000 in capital expenditures and tenant improvements at the building, none of which were incurred in 2002. Registrant is obligated to pay additional tenant improvements and leasing commissions of approximately $883,000 and $731,000, respectively, in connection with this most recent lease extension. For the year ended December 31, 2002, Registrant paid approximately $314,000 in real property taxes (after a significant reduction obtained by the tenant) with respect to the Directory Building. At December 31, 2002, such taxes were imposed at an aggregate rate of 2.73590% on an assessed value of $11,482,100. The Las Colinas office market includes approximately 19,078,000 square feet of office space, of which approximately 12,851,000 square feet constitute Class "A" office space and 6,227,000 square feet constitute Class "B" office space. As of May 2002, approximately 75.3% of office space (77.0% of Class "A" office space and 67.5% of Class "B" office space) was leased. Average asking rents were approximately $18.77 per square foot for available Class "A" space and $17.38 for available Class "B" space. The Directory Building is considered to be Class "B+" space. Tumi Building (formerly Austin Place Building) On December 30, 1986, Registrant acquired the Tumi Building, a two-wing office building located in South Plainfield, New Jersey, for a purchase price of approximately $16,473,000, inclusive of acquisition fees. Registrant owns fee title to the Tumi Building and its underlying five acres of land, subject to the lien of the Fleet Loan. The property was built in 1986 and contains approximately 107,900 net rentable square feet for use as a multi-tenant facility (reduced from 108,000 square feet as a single tenant facility, but subsequently increased from 106,600 square feet due to tenant expansion into common areas). As of March 1, 2003, the property is approximately 75.7% leased, with 45,700 square feet leased to Tumi, Inc. (as discussed below) and the remainder at an average current rent of approximately $18.52 per square foot. Such other leases expire in October and November 2005 (approximately 17,400 square feet) and June 2006 (approximately 18,600 square feet). In an effort to lease the remaining vacant space in the Tumi Building, Registrant has demolished that space to facilitate its division into smaller spaces. Tumi's lease is for 45,700 square feet and was amended in September 2002 to extend the termination date to January 31, 2011. The amended lease requires rent payments equal to $10.24 per square foot until August 31, 2003 (reduced from $16.00 per square foot), $16.00 per square foot from September 1, 2003 until January 2006, and $17.00 per square foot from February 2006 to January 2011. The lease includes two 5-year renewal terms, the first at a base rent of $20.00 per square foot and the second at a then fair market rental. Tumi is also obligated to pay for its electric current consumption and its proportionate share (42.3%) of increases in operating expenses, taxes, and insurance over base year 1999 levels. Registrant has also entered into a five-year lease with AT&T Wireless PCS, LLC to permit installation and operation of a cellular telephone tower on the roof of the Tumi Building. The lease provides for annual rental payments of $19,800, five automatic five-year renewal periods and a three percent (3%) increase in rental payments at the commencement of each renewal period. 8 On March 9, 1999, Gdynia America Line, Inc., a tenant occupying approximately 21,650 square feet (20.3%) in the Tumi Building filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Polish Ocean Lines, a Polish corporation partially owned by the Polish Government, is jointly and severally obligated under this lease. On or about April 30, 1999, the lease, with a term expiring in May 2007 and annual rental payments of approximately $446,000, was rejected in the bankruptcy proceeding. In July 2000, Registrant obtained a judgment in an action in the Superior Court of New Jersey Law Division; Middlesex County against Polish Ocean Lines in the approximate amount of $618,600. On May 4, 2001, the amount of this judgment was increased to approximately $4,389,400. Registrant is pursuing enforcement of its judgment in Poland, but there can be no assurance as to its ability to collect any of the judgment against Polish Ocean Lines. All but approximately 5,000 square feet of this space in the Tumi Building remains vacant. For the year ended December 31, 2002, Registrant paid approximately $239,000 in real property taxes with respect to the Tumi Building. At December 31, 2002, such taxes were imposed at a rate of 3.580% on an assessed value of $6,679,400. South Plainfield is located in Middlesex County (approximately 16,597,000 square feet of office space). Vacancies in Middlesex County approximate 21.2%. Average asking rents for office space in Middlesex County approximate $23.71 per square foot. Registrant has expended approximately $2,068,000 for capital expenditures and tenant improvements, approximately $49,000 of which were incurred in 2002. Marathon Oil Building (formerly, the Tenneco Building) On March 21, 1988, Registrant acquired the Marathon Oil Building (formerly the Tenneco Building), an office building located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, for approximately $10,736,000, inclusive of acquisition fees. Registrant owns fee title to the Marathon Oil Building with its 6.1 acres of underlying land, subject to the lien of the Fleet Loan. The property contains approximately 90,925 net rentable square feet on two floors, plus a 10,016 square foot basement. Marathon Oil Company leases approximately 65,700 square feet (including approximately 4,300 in the basement) in the building pursuant to a lease that expires in February 2006. The lease is subject to an additional renewal option for another five-year term. Annual rent under Marathon's lease is approximately $793,201 ($12.50 per square foot, plus $6.00 per square foot for basement space) in the lease year ending February 2004 and $869,915 ($13.75 per square foot, plus $6.00 per square foot for basement space) in each of the two (2) lease years ending February 2006. Marathon must also pay additional rent equal to its proportionate share of any increases in operating costs of the building after 1996. Registrant has leased approximately an additional 10,450 square feet in the building (plus 340 square feet of basement space) at an average current rent of approximately $13.66 per square foot (plus $5.00 per square foot for basement space). These leases expire in December 2004 (approximately 5,640 square feet plus 340 square feet of basement) and May 2007 (approximately 4,800 square feet). The remaining space (approximately 21.5% of the space) is vacant and Registrant is seeking tenants for such space. Registrant demolished interior offices in the remaining vacant space in an attempt to facilitate leasing that space. For the year ended December 31, 2002, Registrant paid approximately $57,000 in real property taxes with respect to the Marathon Oil Building. At December 31, 2002, such taxes were imposed at a rate of 1.0949% on an assessed value of $5,218,680. 9 Market conditions in the northwest section of Oklahoma City featured reduced demand and rental rates attributable to a weakening economy and the addition of Class A office space. Such market contains approximately 5,078,000 square feet of commercial space of which approximately 18.6% is vacant. Average rents for commercial space range from $8.00 to $21.50 per square foot, with an average rate of $13.92 per square foot. Registrant has expended approximately $572,000 on capital and tenant improvements at this building, approximately $53,000 of which was spent in 2002. In 2003, Registrant anticipates expending approximately $85,000 to replace one of the air conditioning units in the building. 475 Fifth Avenue On December 6, 1996, Registrant purchased the land, building and other improvements commonly known as 475 Fifth Avenue, and situated in New York, New York, for approximately $27,440,000 including capitalized costs and related costs. The property contains a multi-tenant office building comprised of approximately 243,600 square feet and is located on the southeast corner of 41st Street and Fifth Avenue in New York City; the Subsidiary Partnership owns fee title to 475 Fifth Avenue, subject to the lien of the 475 Loan. 475 Fifth Avenue is a 23-story office building with approximately 20,000 square feet of retail space on the first floor and basement, 218,500 square feet of office space, and 5,100 square feet of basement storage space. As of March 21, 2003, approximately 79.3% of the rentable square footage of office and retail space in the building was leased (including approximately 84.0% of the office space and 28.0% of the retail space), at an average current rent (base rent plus electric charges and prior year adjustments and without reduction for any free rent periods) of approximately $38.20 per square foot (approximately $35.49 per square foot of office space and $126.86 per square foot of retail space). Following is a schedule of the expirations of such leases. The following schedule includes (i) approximately 13,825 square feet currently leased on a month-to-month basis to a tenant that is unable to pay most of its rent obligations and that will vacate the space when Registrant obtains a replacement tenant and (ii) approximately 3,550 square feet occupied by Registrant as its principal office at an assumed rent of $41.71 per square foot. 10 ================================================================================ Approximate Avg. Current Expiration Year Square Feet % of Total Rent/Sq. Ft. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2003 21,324 8.9% $37.50 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2004 2,662 1.1% $40.73 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2005 16,634 7.0% $38.79 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2006 14,670 6.1% $32.45 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2007 15,113 6.3% $62.39 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2008 54,422 22.8% $30.34 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2009 37,625 15.8% $34.12 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2010 3,833 1.6% $51.00 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2013 5,472 2.3% $38.00 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2016 2,947 1.2% $140.40 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2018 14,470 6.1% $34.75 ================================================================================ During December 2001, two retail tenants occupying an aggregate of approximately 16,740 square feet (plus 1,900 square feet of storage space) and paying aggregate annual rents of approximately $1,000,000 vacated 475 Fifth Avenue. In 2002, Registrant leased approximately 2,660 square feet of such retail space (plus 1,000 square feet of storage space) for an approximate annual rent of $298,000. One of the existing retail tenants, leasing approximately 2,950 square feet for an approximate annual rent of $414,000 is delinquent in its rent payments; Registrant may evict this tenant after drawing down the letter of credit held as security for this lease. Registrant has been engaged in discussions to lease its remaining vacant retail space but has yet to enter into any binding lease agreements. During 2001, Registrant experienced vacancies in office space aggregating approximately 29,950 square feet (with aggregate annual rents of approximately $1,200,000) at 475 Fifth Avenue. One of such leases (for 14,470 square feet and annual rents of approximately $607,000) was terminated early in exchange for a fee in the approximate amount of $720,000. In late 2002 and early 2003, Registrant has experienced additional office vacancies and relocations of tenants to smaller spaces aggregating approximately 14,770 square feet, with approximate annual aggregate rent of $525,000. Registrant is currently negotiating a lease buy-out on approximately 14,860 square feet of office space (annual rent of approximately $452,000) and, as described above, has been receiving only a portion of the rent due from another office tenant (approximately 13,825 square feet at an approximate annual rent of $553,000) that will vacate the space when Registrant obtains a replacement tenant. Registrant did not enter into any new leases for office space in 2002, but in the first quarter of 2003 it has entered into leases for an aggregate of approximately 19,940 square feet at an approximate annual aggregate rent of $711,000 (after free rent periods). Registrant's leases generally provide for a base rent, inclusive of an electricity charge, plus additional rent in the form of a porter's wage and real estate tax escalation factors; Registrant may 11 increase the electricity charge if a review demonstrates that Registrant's cost of obtaining such electricity exceeds the charge imposed on tenants. Certain tenants (leasing approximately 20% to 25% of the space in the building) have leases that provide for a base rent, inclusive of an electricity charge, plus additional rent in the form of operating expense and real estate tax escalation factors. In 1997, Registrant commenced a capital improvement program, designed to increase rental rates and the value of the building. In connection with obtaining the 475 Loan, a capital reserve schedule was prepared for 475 Fifth Avenue, detailing improvements aggregating approximately $1,840,000 over a 12-year period. Registrant has completed the following improvements at 475 Fifth Avenue: roof replacement and masonry restoration above the 19th floor; elevator modernization, including mechanical cables and security system; drain and drain line replacement; installation of a new electrical panel on one side of the building; continuing installation of hot water heating and sprinkler systems and upgrading of electric service and closets on floors as vacancies occur; lobby and entrance renovation; renovating restrooms to comply with Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA") requirements on floors as vacancies occur; construction and enclosing of basement staircases to conform with building code requirements; completion of elevator interior redecoration; window replacement on two sides of the building; and demolition of vacant retail space to prepare it for marketing. Registrant intends to make the following additional improvements: masonry restoration on the lower floors of the building; continuation of hot water heating and sprinkler system installation, upgrading of electric service and closets, and renovating restrooms to comply with ADA on floors as vacancies occur; installing the main sprinkler distribution system; installation of a new electrical panel on the other side of the building; additional lobby renovations, including security cameras, a new tenant directory, and new doors for the 41st Street entrance; and continuing window replacement. Registrant estimates that such additional improvements, planned to be made over the next several years, will cost approximately $1,900,000. In 2002, Registrant expended capital improvements, tenant improvements, and leasing commissions aggregating approximately $775,000 at 475 Fifth Avenue. Registrant has expended approximately $9,750,000 on capital expenditures and tenant improvements at 475 Fifth Avenue. Certain capital improvements can only be made as tenancies expire. Capital improvements and tenant improvements thus far have been funded from working capital, the repair reserve under the 475 Loan, and from increases in rental income. Owing to increased vacancies and reduced cash flow from 475 Fifth Avenue, Registrant has largely delayed its capital improvement program. As Registrant leases vacant space, it will be obliged to fund substantial leasing commissions and tenant improvements. Registrant may seek to sell one or more of its properties to provide funding for tenant improvements, leasing commissions, and capital improvements. For the year ended December 31, 2002, Registrant paid approximately $1,368,000 in real property taxes with respect to 475 Fifth Avenue. At December 31, 2002, such taxes were imposed at a rate of 9.7032% on an assessed value of $14,097,000. 475 Fifth Avenue is situated in the Grand Central district of the New York City midtown market. Such district includes approximately 40,460,000 aggregate rentable square feet (vacancy rate of approximately 9.0%). Asking rents in this district average approximately $43.98 per square foot. The Midtown North District includes approximately 173,908,000 aggregate rentable square feet, an approximate 8.1% vacancy rate, and average asking rents of approximately $49.38 per square foot. The entire midtown market includes approximately 262,353,000 aggregate rentable square feet, an approximate 8.8% vacancy rate, and average asking rents of approximately $44.68 per square foot. Alamo Towers On March 17, 1997, Registrant purchased the land, building and other improvements commonly known as the Alamo Towers, and situated in San Antonio, Texas for approximately $12,002,000, including capitalized closing and related costs. The Alamo Towers contains a multi- 12 tenant office building comprised of approximately 190,600 square feet (reduced from approximately 196,000 square feet when Registrant acquired the property). Registrant owns fee title to the Alamo Towers, subject to the lien of the Fleet Loan. The Alamo Towers is an office building consisting of two stand-alone 8-story towers with approximately 182,300 square feet of office space and 8,300 square feet of basement space. As of March 1, 2003, approximately 82.0% of the rentable square footage of office space in the Alamo Towers was leased, at an average current rent (base rent plus escalation adjustments and without reduction for any free rent periods) of approximately $16.31 per square foot. Following is a schedule of expiration of such leases. ================================================================================ Approximate Avg. Current Expiration Year Square Feet % of Total Rent/Sq.Ft. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2003 27,990 15.5% $17.90 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2004 35,486 19.7% $16.15 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2005 21,234 11.8% $15.95 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2006 49,145 27.2% $15.84 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2007 9,865 5.5% $15.32 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2008 4,161 2.3% $16.52 ================================================================================ The Alamo Towers has yet to achieve sustainable increases in occupancy rates, primarily because of the absence of a covered parking garage. Registrant's planned significant capital improvements for this building, delayed in large part because of the capital improvements made at 475 Fifth Avenue, began implementation in earnest in 2001. Registrant completed renovation of the lobby in the West Tower, added granite to the entrances and stairs in both towers, relocated the building's mechanical plant, and replaced all heating, ventilation, and air conditioning equipment. Registrant also upgraded the fire alarm panels in both towers and is continuing to separate the heating and air conditioning systems in tenant spaces (to better regulate the temperature) as vacancies occur. Registrant also upgraded the parking lot surface and lighting. Largely as a result of increased vacancies and reduced cash flow from 475 Fifth Avenue, Registrant has delayed its capital improvement program for the Alamo Towers. Registrant is replacing the roof of the West Tower at an estimated cost of $160,000. In 2002, Registrant expended approximately $339,000 in tenant improvements and leasing commissions and $403,000 in capital improvements. Registrant has expended approximately $6,569,000 in capital expenditures and tenant improvements at the Alamo Towers. Registrant plans to construct a covered parking garage, depending upon the availability of funds. Registrant likely will need to sell one of its properties to finance this construction. The planned garage has been scaled back to a 550-car garage at an estimated cost of $3,250,000 (as contrasted to a 1,000 car garage at a cost of $6,000,000). In the future, Registrant may need to replace the East Tower roof (estimated at $200,000), recaulk the glass walls and windows (estimated at $200,000), install sprinklers on all floors (estimated at $250,000), and upgrade restrooms to comply with ADA (estimated at $500,000 to $600,000), but these improvements are unlikely to occur in the near future. 13 For the year ended December 31, 2002, Registrant paid approximately $333,000 (with a discount) in real property taxes with respect to the Alamo Towers. At December 31, 2002, such taxes were imposed at a rate of 3.043605% on an assessed value of $11,000,000. The San Antonio office market includes approximately 22,050,000 aggregate rentable square feet, of which approximately 19.6% is currently vacant. Asking rents in this market now average $18.10 per square foot. The north-central San Antonio market includes approximately 7,793,000 aggregate rentable square feet, of which approximately 15.2% is vacant and for which asking rents average approximately $18.80 per square foot. The Alamo Towers is located in the north-central market and is classified as Class B space. Item 3. Legal Proceedings. Except for its action against Polish Ocean Lines, Inc., Registrant does not know of any material legal proceedings, other than ordinary immaterial routine litigation incidental to its business, pending against or involving Registrant or any of its properties. The action against Polish Ocean Lines, Inc. is attributable to the rejection of its subsidiary's lease for space in the Tumi Building. See "Item 2. Properties - Tumi Building." In July 2000, Registrant obtained a judgment in the approximate amount of $618,600 in the Superior Court of New Jersey Law Division; Middlesex County. In May 2001, the amount of this judgment was increased to approximately $4,389,400. Registrant is pursuing enforcement of this judgment in Poland. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security-Holders. There were no matters submitted to a vote of Limited Partners or Unitholders and none were required to be submitted during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise. 14 PART II Item 5. Market for Registrant's Securities and Related Security-Holder Matters. The Units of Registrant are not traded in any established public trading market. Because of certain provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), as described below, the General Partners have not applied to include the Units for quotation or listing on any national or regional stock exchange or any other established securities market. Registrant has administered a Unit Repurchase Plan since 1995, pursuant to which Registrant, in its discretion, has purchased outstanding Units. Any such purchases are made at prices no higher than the lowest current independent offer quotation. During 2002, Registrant did not repurchase any Units. Repurchases both divert funds otherwise available for capital improvements and require a monthly reallocation of Unitholders' interests. For these reasons, Registrant limits future repurchases, if any, to the final one or two months of a calendar year. To provide an alternative outlet for Unit sales, the General Partners and their affiliates have, during any periods of suspension in Registrant's Unit Repurchase Plan, purchased Units on the same terms and conditions as under the Unit Repurchase Plan. Provisions found in Section 7704 of the Code have an adverse impact on investors in a "publicly traded partnership" ("PTP"). A PTP is a partnership whose interests are traded on an established securities market or readily tradeable on a secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof). If Registrant were classified as a PTP, (i) Registrant may be taxed as a corporation or (ii) income derived from an investment in Registrant would be treated as non-passive income. The IRS has established alternative safe harbors that allow interests in a partnership to be transferred or redeemed in certain circumstances without causing the partnership to be characterized a PTP. Although the Units are not listed or quoted for trading on an established securities market, it is possible that transfers of Units could occur in a secondary market in sufficient amount and frequency to cause Registrant to be treated as a PTP. To the extent that any proposed transfer of Units in secondary market transactions would exceed a safe harbor volume limitation, the proposed transfer will be restricted pursuant to a policy adopted by Registrant. Such a restriction could impair the ability of an investor to liquidate its investment quickly and thus, possibly prevent the reclassification of Registrant as a corporation pursuant to Code Section 7704. It is anticipated that Registrant's policy will remain in effect until such time, if ever, as further clarification of Code Section 7704 permits Registrant to lessen the scope of its policy. The General Partners, if so authorized, will take such steps as are necessary, if any, to prevent the reclassification of Registrant as a PTP. As of March 24, 2003, there were 2,347 Unitholders of record. 15 The following represents per Unit cash distributions to investors for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. Distribution Quarter Ended Per Unit Payment Date ------------- -------- ------------ December 31, 2002 $ 0.00 N/A September 30, 2002 $ 0.00 N/A June 30, 2002 $ 0.00 N/A March 31, 2002 $ 0.00 N/A December 31, 2001 $ 0.30 March 2002 September 30, 2001 $ 0.30 November 2001 June 30, 2001 $ 0.30 August 2001 March 31, 2001 $ 0.30 May 2001 There are no material legal restrictions upon Registrant's present or future ability to make distributions in accordance with the provisions of Registrant's Agreement of Limited Partnership, as amended through the date of this report. However, the Fleet Loan Agreements limit distributions to 90% of the sum of its cumulative net income from real estate operations, adjusted for depreciation, amortization, and write-off of step rent receivables. See, however, Item 7 - "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" for a discussion of economic conditions that have resulted in the suspension of distributions and that may continue to affect Registrant's ability to make distributions. 16 Item 6.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. This discussion includes statements that may constitute forward-looking statements made pursuant to the Safe Harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Registrant would like to caution readers regarding certain forward-looking statements in this document and in all of its communications to unitholders and others, press releases, securities filings, and all other communications. Statements that are based on management's projections, estimates and assumptions are forward-looking statements. The words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," and similar expressions generally identify forward-looking statements. While Registrant believes in the veracity of all statements made herein, forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Registrant, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies and known and unknown risks. Many of the uncertainties and contingencies can affect events and Registrant's actual results and could cause its actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, Registrant. Liquidity and Capital Resources At December 31, 2002, Registrant had cash and receivables of approximately $1,566,000 as contrasted to accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately $2,778,000. 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, such as for capital improvements, tenant improvements, and leasing commissions, Registrant likely will need to sell assets as its borrowing capacity under the Fleet Loan is nearly exhausted. 17 In June 2000, Registrant sold the Flatiron Building in Boulder, Colorado for $13,050,000, exclusive of closing costs of approximately $473,000. From the sale proceeds, the sum of $434,466 was placed into escrow pending resolution of the bankruptcy of one of the tenants in the building. In 2001, Registrant recognized approximately $103,000 of the amount held in escrow. Registrant currently anticipates that all of such sale proceeds remaining in escrow will be paid out to the buyer of the Flatiron Building. In October 2000, the Fleet Loan was amended to provide for maximum gross borrowings of $25,000,000 and to extend the maturity date to September 30, 2003 (subject to two additional one year extension options). Registrant intends to exercise its extension option. Registrant has drawn down an aggregate of approximately $24,941,000 under the amended Fleet Loan. Registrant can only borrow approximately an additional $58,000 under the Fleet Loan. Registrant may draw funds from its replacement reserve (currently approximately $202,000) under the 475 Fifth Loan, to fund certain improvements at 475 Fifth Avenue. Registrant has invested capital in improving its properties with a view to increasing its revenues from real estate operations and ultimately realizing appreciation in property values. The level of capital improvements decreased significantly in 2002 owing to increasing vacancies and decreasing rental revenues, particularly at 475 Fifth Avenue. Capital resources have been expended since the beginning of 2002 to make the following capital and tenant improvements and to pay leasing commissions: approximately $775,000 at 475 Fifth Avenue; approximately $49,000 at the Tumi Building; $0 at the LightCross Building; $0 at the Directory Building; approximately $62,000 at the Marathon Oil Building; and approximately $742,000 at Alamo Towers. Registrant will also require capital to fund additional tenant improvements as vacancies are filled and tenancies turn over at its properties as well as further capital improvements at 475 Fifth Avenue (estimated at $1,900,000) and Alamo Towers (estimated at $4,500,000). These additional capital improvements are expected to be made over several years. Registrant will be largely dependent upon improved real estate operations and sales and/or refinancings of one or more of its properties to fund significant additional tenant and capital improvements. In March 1999, Gdynia America Line, Inc., which leased approximately 20% of the Tumi Building pursuant to a lease expiring in May 2007, filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Polish Ocean Lines, a Polish corporation partially owned by the Polish Government, is jointly and severally obligated under this lease. On or about April 30, 1999, the lease, which required annual rental payments of approximately $446,000, was rejected in the bankruptcy proceeding. In July 2000, Registrant obtained a judgment in the approximate amount of $618,600 against Polish Ocean Lines for amounts then due under the lease. In May 2001, the amount of such judgment was increased to approximately $4,389,400. There can be no assurance that Registrant will be successful in collecting any damages from Polish Ocean Lines. All but approximately 5,000 square feet of this space in the Tumi Building remains vacant. Registrant's New York property has continued to experience difficulties in the aftermath of the events of September 11, 2001 and the ensuing economic downturn that has severely impacted New York. During December 2001, two retail tenants paying aggregate annual rents of approximately $1,000,000 vacated 475 Fifth Avenue. In addition, office tenants paying aggregate annual rents of approximately $1,200,000 vacated 475 Fifth Avenue during 2001. Registrant realized lease cancellation income of approximately $576,000 in 2001, consisting of an early termination fee in the approximate amount of $720,000 from a tenant in 475 Fifth Avenue, net of a write-off of deferred rent receivable of approximately $144,000. In 2002 and early 2003, additional vacancies and relocations aggregating approximately 14,770 square feet of office space (with aggregate annual rents of approximately $525,000) occurred at 475 Fifth Avenue. Additional 18 vacancies involving 2,950 square feet of retail space (approximately $414,000 in annual rent) and approximately 28,685 square feet of office space (approximately $1,005,000 in aggregate annual rent) are likely in 2003 at 475 Fifth Avenue. The loss of rental payments from these terminated leases and the tenant improvement allowances that Registrant expects to pay to replacement tenants have placed, and will continue to place, demands on Registrant's liquidity and capital resources. To date, Registrant has funded its capital requirements from the 475 Loan, the Fleet Loan and working capital. As discussed above, Registrant has very limited remaining borrowing capacity under its loans. In 2002, the General Partners deferred the receipt of substantially all management fees payable to them by Registrant, aggregating approximately $1,024,000. This deferral, combined with an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses aggregating approximately $350,000, increased the amount of Registrant's cash flow available for other purposes. There is no assurance that the General Partners will defer all or any portion of such fees in the future. Registrant's quarterly distribution to partners for each of the four quarters of 2001 was $0.30 per Unit. Registrant was forced to suspend distributions for each of the four quarters of 2002. The level of distributions in the future will be dependent upon numerous factors, including securing replacement tenants at 475 Fifth Avenue and, possibly, the funding of additional tenant and capital improvements from the proceeds of the sale of one or more of Registrant's properties. Registrant cannot yet estimate when distributions to unitholders will resume. Registrant has used working capital reserves provided from the net proceeds of the Offering, loan proceeds, and any undistributed cash from operations as its primary source of liquidity. Registrant generally intends to distribute its distributable cash from operations to Unitholders. However, such distributions are subject to suspension (as is presently the case) or reduction to meet capital requirements and are also limited by the Fleet Loan Agreements to 90% of the sum of its cumulative net income from real estate operations, adjusted for depreciation, amortization, and write-off of step rent receivables. Results of Operations The results of Registrant's operations are subject to numerous factors, including the following: o Registrant is subject to general risks affecting the real estate industry, including the necessity of entering into new leases and renewal leases on favorable terms; o Registrant could be adversely affected by changes in local markets where its properties are located and by adverse changes in national economic and market conditions; o Registrant is subject to competition for tenants from owners of other real properties; o Registrant is dependent upon the successful operations and financial condition of its tenants who, in turn, are subject to economic and competitive risks; o Registrant is subject to potential environmental liabilities; o Registrant could be adversely affected by changes in governmental regulations including, without limitation, changes in environmental and tax regulations; and o Increases in interest rates would increase Registrant's interest payments under its variable rate loan and decrease cash flow available to fund capital improvements and to make distributions. 2002 versus 2001 Rental revenues decreased by 4.5% from 2001 to 2002, primarily because of increased vacancies at 475 Fifth Avenue. In addition, Registrant did not receive any lease cancellation fees in 2002 as contrasted to 2001, in which $720,000 in cash was received from the termination of a lease at 475 Fifth Avenue, offset by a step rent write-off. Registrant's interest and other income decreased from 19 2001 to 2002 by 36.2% principally because Registrant recovered a bad debt in 2001 from a delinquent New York tenant. As a result, total revenues decreased by 8.2% from 2001 to 2002. Interest expense in 2002 decreased by 11.7% from 2001, both because of slightly smaller loan balances and lower interest rates. Depreciation decreased by 5.8% in 2002 primarily because of tenant improvements that were fully depreciated at the New Jersey, San Antonio, and Oklahoma properties. Amortization decreased by 13.8% primarily because of the write-off in 2001 of commissions related to a canceled lease in the New York property. Property operating expenses decreased by 3.6% in 2002 primarily because of lower occupancy at 475 Fifth Avenue. Management fees decreased by 14.0% in 2002 from 2001 because of property management fees computed as a percentage of Registrant's decreased rental revenues and partnership management fees computed as a percentage of decreased cash flow. Professional fees increased by 56.3% from 2001 to 2002 primarily because of legal fees related to enforcement of the Gdynia judgment and collection of past due rents and the costs of electronic filing of income tax returns. The 252.8% increase in bad debt expense primarily reflects the write-off of rents and deferred rent receivables from a New York retail tenant that vacated space pursuant to a surrender agreement effective January 7, 2002. The 70.3% increase in general and administrative expenses in 2002 from 2001 is primarily attributable to a partnership filing fee sought to be imposed by the New Jersey Division of Revenue. Registrant's loss from real estate operations increased by 52.1% in 2002 as compared to 2001. The increase in Registrant's loss from real estate operations was largely due to the decrease in rental revenue and lease cancellation income and the imposition of the New Jersey partnership filing fee. 2001 versus 2000 Rental revenues increased by 6.9% from 2000 to 2001, primarily because of new leases and rent increases in the New York, New Jersey, and Las Colinas, Texas properties, the commencement of rent payments from LightCross at the LightCross Building, and the delay in feeling the effects of lease terminations at the New York building. Lease cancellation income in 2001, which consisted of $720,000 in cash received from the termination of a lease at 475 Fifth Avenue, offset by a step rent write-off, increased by 462.0% from the amounts received in 2000. As a result, total revenues increased by 9.2% from 2000 to 2001. Interest expense in 2001 decreased by 7.7% from 2000, because larger loan balances were more than offset by lower interest rates. Depreciation increased by 1.4% in 2001 primarily because of capital improvements made at 475 Fifth Avenue, the LightCross Building, and Alamo Towers. Amortization increased by 10.9% primarily because of the amortization of deferred costs related to the Fleet Loan refinancing and commissions paid pertaining to new and renewed leases and the write-off of leasing commissions on leases that were terminated early. Property operating expenses increased by 4.1% in 2001 primarily because of increases in real estate taxes at the two Texas properties, utilities and other operating costs associated with increased occupancy at certain properties despite the reduction attributable to the sale of the Colorado building, and the reimbursement in 2001 of real property taxes attributable to the period prior to the sale of the Colorado property. Management fees increased by 15.7% in 2001 from 2000 because of property management fees computed as a percentage of Registrant's increased rental revenues. Professional fees decreased by 44.9% from 2000 to 2001 primarily because of the legal fees incurred by Registrant in 2000 in connection with obtaining a judgment against Polish Ocean Lines with respect to the Tumi Building. General and administrative expenses increased by 17.1% from 2000 to 2001 primarily because of the payment in 2001 of Colorado tax on gain from the sale of the Flatiron Building, which more than offset non-recurring costs paid in 2000 to change the Registrant's transfer agent. The 53.0% decrease in bad debt expense is attributable to lower rent balances written-off for tenants that moved out in 2001 as compared to those vacating space in 2000. 20 Registrant's loss from real estate operations decreased by 46.1% in 2001 as compared to 2000. The significant reduction in Registrant's loss from real estate operations from 2000 to 2001 was driven by new leases and higher rents attributable to Registrant's extensive capital improvement program, principally at 475 Fifth Avenue and Alamo Towers, Texas, as well as the benefits of interest rate decreases under the Fleet Loan. Critical Accounting Policies Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon Registrant's consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Registrant bases its estimates on historical experience and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Registrant believes the following critical accounting policies affect its significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. Valuation of Properties Held for Use and Sale On a quarterly basis, management reviews the carrying value of its properties. Registrant records impairment losses and reduces the carrying value of properties when indicators of impairment are present and the expected undiscounted cash flows related to those properties are less than their carrying amounts. In cases where Registrant does not expect to recover its carrying costs on properties held for use, Registrant reduces its carrying cost to fair value; for properties held for sale, Registrant reduces its carrying value to the fair value less costs to sell. For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, no impairment losses were recognized. Bad Debts Registrant maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of tenants to make payments on arrearages in billed rents and expense recoveries. As of December 31, 2002, Registrant maintained an allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $165,000. If the financial condition of Registrant's tenants were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. Inflation In the past, inflation has not had a material impact on Registrant's operations or financial condition, as certain leases of Registrant's properties provide for increases in rents based on changes in the consumer price index, and other leases provide lease payments that escalate over time. Registrant's properties with performing leases are protected by arrangements whereby the tenants pay to Registrant an amount equal to all or a portion of the operating costs of the properties, with Registrant's share of expenses, if any, subject to a predetermined limit. These arrangements help to insulate Registrant from the effects of any increases in operating costs. However, to the extent that there is vacant space or nonperforming leases at any of the Registrant's properties, Registrant lacks this protection against inflation, particularly with regards to increased expenses that are not reimbursed. Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. 21 Interest Rates Registrant's primary market risk exposure is to changes in interest rates on its mortgage loan borrowings. Registrant has obtained the 475 Loan, a fixed rate debt instrument, to manage its exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates. Registrant has also 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. Approximately 43% and 44% of Registrant's outstanding debt was subject to variable rates at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. In addition, the average interest rate on Registrant's debt decreased from 6.44% at December 31, 2001 to 6.33% at December 31, 2002. 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. The table below provides information about Registrant's debt instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. For debt obligations, the table presents principal cash flows and related weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates. Weighted average variable rates are based on rates in effect at the reporting date.
Expected Maturity Date -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There- Fair 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 After Total Value ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----- ----- ----- (in thousands) (in thousands) Secured Variable $23,805 $-- $-- $-- $-- $-- $23,805 $23,805 Average Interest rate 3.8% -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Secured Fixed $282 $299 $333 $362 $393 $29,567 $31,236 $36,600 Average interest rate 8.27% 8.27% 8.27% 8.27% 8.27% 8.27% 8.27%
Registrant believes that the interest rates given in the table for fixed rate borrowings are above the rates Registrant could currently obtain for instruments of similar terms and maturities. The fair values of such instruments are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements at December 31, 2002 (estimated at 5.3% per annum). 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 $238,000, based upon the balances outstanding on variable rate instruments at December 31, 2002.

During the year ended December 31, 2002, the General Partners earned an aggregate of $1,024,211 of such management fees ($819,369 to the Corporate General Partner and $204,842 to the Individual General Partner), the receipt of substantially all of which was deferred. The General Partners are also entitled to receive leasing commissions in connection with leasing, releasing or leasing related services performed on behalf of the Registrant in connection with the negotiation of tenant leases. Such fees are computed at the following rates: (i) in the case of a property leased long-term (10 or more years) net (or similar) basis, 1% of annual gross revenues; and (ii) in the case of other properties, a fee, not to exceed the competitive rate charged by others rendering similar services in the same geographical area, not greater than 6% of annual gross revenues where the General Partners or their affiliates perform leasing, re-leasing and related leasing services, or 3% of annual gross revenues where they do not perform any such services. If a long-term net (or similar) lease is terminated for any reason and the General Partners or their affiliates perform leasing, re-leasing or leasing related services, they will be entitled to a leasing fee of 3% of the gross revenue for the first five years of each replacement lease signed. During the year ended December 31, 2002, no such fees were paid to the General Partners.

Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Corporate Realty Income Fund I, L.P. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

See accompanying notes. F-7 Corporate Realty Income Fund I, L.P. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2002 1. Organization Corporate Realty Income Fund I, L.P. ("CRIF") was formed as a limited partnership on November 25, 1985 under the laws of the State of Delaware. CRIF was formed for the purpose of acquiring and owning income-producing commercial and industrial real estate properties for lease to others. CRIF will terminate on December 31, 2010 or sooner, in accordance with the Partnership Agreement. During 1999, in connection with refinancing a portion of its debt, CRIF formed a wholly-owned subsidiary to which it transferred ownership of its New York City property. The general partners of CRIF are 1345 Realty Corporation, the corporate general partner, and Robert F. Gossett, Jr., the individual general partner. On November 30, 1994, all of the outstanding capital stock of the corporate general partner of CRIF was acquired by the individual general partner in a transaction which was effective as of July 1, 1994. As a result of this acquisition, the entire interest of the general partners is controlled by the individual general partner. The initial capital was $1,025 representing capital contributions of $1,000 by the general partners and $25 by the original limited partner. The Partnership commenced operations on June 2, 1986 with the acceptance of subscriptions for 1,082,640 Depositary Units of limited partnership interest (the "Units"). The Partnership had authorized the issuance of up to 4,000,000 Units. The Partnership sold 3,200,000 Units, representing $80,000,000, which completed the offering. Upon the first admittance of the additional limited partners and unitholders, the original limited partner withdrew from the Partnership. Offering costs incurred in connection with the initial offering are nonamortizable and have been deducted from limited partners' capital. There were no unit redemptions during 2002, 2001 and 2000. F-8 Corporate Realty Income Fund I, L.P. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 2. Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CRIF and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Partnership"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Real Estate and Depreciation Costs directly related to the acquisition and improvement of real estate are capitalized. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. For financial reporting purposes, depreciation of buildings, improvements, and equipment and furniture is computed under the straight-line method over the estimated economic useful life of the assets which range from five to forty years. In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations for a disposal of a segment of a business. SFAS 144 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the Partnership's assets, which are held for use, are measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future net undiscounted cash flow expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. SFAS 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The adoption of SFAS 144 in 2002 had no impact on the Partnership's F-9 Corporate Realty Income Fund I, L.P. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) financial position or results of operations. No impairment losses were required on any of the properties owned by the Partnership. Deferred Financing Costs Deferred financing costs are being amortized over the term of the loan agreements. Lease Commissions Leasing commissions are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related leases. Deferred Rent Rental income is recognized on the straight-line basis over the entire term of the lease including rent-free periods. Accordingly, rental income for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, includes approximately $348,400, $186,500 and $222,000, respectively, of the excess of income on the straight-line basis over the actual amount billed. During 2002, 2001, and 2000, the Partnership wrote off deferred rent receivable of approximately $193,000, $164,000, and $79,000, respectively, relating to tenants vacating the properties prior to the expiration of their lease terms. Income Taxes No provision for income taxes has been made since all items of income or losses and tax benefits are passed through to the individual partners. Cash Equivalents The Partnership considers all highly liquid financial instruments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents, which consist principally of money market funds, are carried at cost which approximates market value. F-10 Corporate Realty Income Fund I, L.P. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Fair Value of Financial Instruments SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," defines fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. The Partnership's accounts receivable, deposits, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and interest payable are carried at cost, which approximates fair value due to the short maturities of such items. The carrying value of notes receivable approximates fair value because such notes bear interest at market rates for similar types of notes. The carrying value of the variable rate mortgage loan payable portion of the Partnership's debt approximates fair value at December 31, 2002 and 2001 as such loan is variable rate debt that reprices frequently. The fair value of the Partnership's fixed rate long term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The carrying amount and fair value of the Partnership's fixed rate long-term debt at December 31, 2002 is $31,235,683 and $36,600,000, respectively. Segments SFAS No. 131 "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", requires disclosures about segments of an enterprise and related information regarding the different types of business activities in which an enterprise engages and the different economic environments in which it operates. The Partnership is engaged in owning and managing office properties and has one reportable segment, office real estate. The primary sources of revenue are tenant rents and escalations and reimbursement revenue. Real estate property operating expenses primarily consist of real estate taxes, security, maintenance and utility costs. F-11 Corporate Realty Income Fund I, L.P. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections" ("SFAS 145"). This statement eliminates the requirement to report gains and losses from extinguishment of debt as extraordinary unless they meet the criteria of APB Opinion 30. SFAS 145 also requires sale-leaseback accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. The changes related to lease accounting are effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002 and the changes related to debt extinguishment are effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The impact of adopting the provisions related to lease accounting did not have a material impact on the Partnership's financial position or results of operations. The impact of adopting the provisions related to debt extinguishment is not expected to have a material impact on the Partnership's financial position or results of operations. In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" ("SFAS 146"). SFAS No. 146 nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3 and requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. This statement also establishes that fair value is the objective for initial measurement of the liability. SFAS 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The adoption of SFAS. 146 is not expected to have a material impact on the Partnership's financial position or results of operations. In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" ("FIN 45"). FIN 45 requires that upon issuance of a guarantee a guarantor must recognize a liability for the fair value of an obligation assumed under a guarantee. FIN 45 also requires additional disclosures by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about the obligations associated with guarantees issued. The recognition F-12 Corporate Realty Income Fund I, L.P. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) provisions of FIN 45 are effective for any guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. The adoption of the disclosure requirements of FIN 45 did not have a material impact on the Partnership's financial statements. The Partnership does not expect the adoption of the recognition provision of FIN 45 to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations. In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46"). In general, a variable interest entity is a corporation, partnership, trust, or any other legal structure used for business purposes that either (a) does not have equity investors with voting rights or (b) has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities. A variable interest entity often holds financial assets, including loans or receivables, real estate or other property. Until now, a company generally has included another entity in its consolidated financial statements only if it controlled the entity through voting interests. FIN 46 changes that by requiring a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity's activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity's residual returns or both. FIN 46's consolidation requirements apply immediately to variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003. The consolidation requirements apply to older entities in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Partnership does not anticipate that the adoption of FIN 46 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Use of Estimates The general partners have made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Actual results could differ from those estimates. F-13 Corporate Realty Income Fund I, L.P. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 3. Partnership Agreement The Partnership Agreement provides that profits, losses and distributions shall be allocated 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the general partners. Sale or refinancing proceeds will generally be distributed 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the general partners until the limited partners have received an amount which, when added to all prior distributions of cash, will equal their original invested capital plus an 8% per annum cumulative noncompounded return. Thereafter, after payment of the subordinated disposition fee to the general partner, as defined in the agreement, proceeds will be distributed 75% to the limited partners and 25% to the general partners. The Partnership Agreement further provides that net income shall be allocated to each calendar month of the year, and shall be apportioned on a monthly basis to the holders of interests, in the ratio in which the number of interests owned by each limited partner or unitholder on the first day of the month bears to the total number of interests owned by the limited partners and unitholders as of that date. 4.

F-19 Corporate Realty Income Fund I, L.P. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 7. Loans Payable On September 26, 1996, the Partnership entered into a $24,000,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Mortgage"). The purpose of the Mortgage was to refinance the existing $7,800,000 secured revolving line of credit, to provide working capital for tenant improvements and leasing commissions with respect to the properties owned by the Partnership, and to provide funds for the acquisition of additional properties. On December 6, 1996, the Partnership amended the Mortgage, increasing the principal amount to $44,000,000. On September 25, 1998, the Partnership further amended the Mortgage. The terms of the Mortgage, as amended, provided for a term of four years and provided for maximum gross borrowings of $49,000,000. On August 9, 1999, the Partnership divided the Mortgage into two notes. One note, in the amount of $22,594,880, was secured by the New York Building, and the second note in the amount of $26,405,120 was secured by the six other properties owned by the Partnership. The loan secured by the New York Building was repaid in 1999. On October 12, 2000, the Partnership entered into an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement in connection with the Mortgage (the "New Mortgage"). The terms of the New Mortgage provide for maximum gross borrowings of $25,000,000, of which $19,641,440 was advanced on October 12, 2000.

The Partnership intends to exercise the extension option. The New Mortgage is secured by the properties owned by the Partnership, other than the New York Building. In connection with obtaining the New Mortgage, the Partnership incurred fees and expenses of $609,259, which have been capitalized and are being amortized over the term of the loan agreement. F-20 Corporate Realty Income Fund I, L.P. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 7. Loans Payable (continued) Borrowings under the New Mortgage bear interest monthly at a rate, selected at the option of the Partnership at the time of the associated borrowing, based on (i) the prime rate plus .50% or (ii) the applicable LIBOR rate plus 2%. The New Mortgage requires monthly amortization of principal in an amount equal to 1/500th of the outstanding principal on the first day of the applicable month with a final payment of the then outstanding balance due at maturity. Borrowings bearing interest based upon the prime rate can be prepaid any time without penalty. The LIBOR based advances can be prepaid at the end of the interest periods without penalty, and during the interest period subject to a penalty. Upon the sale of any property, the Partnership is required to repay principal on the total indebtedness under the New Mortgage in an amount equal to 110% of that portion of the outstanding balance of the loan attributable to the sold property, as defined in the New Mortgage agreement, or 100% of the sales price, if greater, for Alamo Towers and the Directory Building. The New Mortgage requires the Partnership to comply with certain covenants, including but not limited to, maintenance of certain financial ratios. In addition, the New Mortgage provides that the Partnership may distribute to its partners up to 90% of the sum of its cumulative net income from real estate operations, adjusted for depreciation, amortization, and write-offs of deferred rent receivables. Compliance with this distribution provision is tested as of the last day of each fiscal quarter for the period from and including January 1, 2001, through the date as of which compliance is tested. As of December 31, 2002, the Partnership is in compliance with such covenants. At December 31, 2002, $23,804,935 of LIBOR based borrowings was outstanding under the New Mortgage at an interest rate of approximately 3.8%. On August 9, 1999, the Partnership obtained a $32,000,000 fixed rate mortgage (the "New York Loan"). The loan is secured by the New York Building, matures on September 1, 2009, and bears interest on the outstanding balance, payable monthly, at a fixed rate of 8.27%. The terms of the note require monthly principal and interest payments of $240,855. In connection with the New York Loan, the Partnership incurred fees aggregating approximately $834,000. These fees have been deferred and are being amortized over the term of the New York Loan.
