[ X ] State the aggregate market value of the voting stock held by non-affiliates of the registrant: Not applicable. Documents Incorporated by Reference: None PART I Item 1. Business General Mendik Real Estate Limited Partnership (the "Partnership" or "Registrant") is a New York limited partnership which was formed in October 1985 pursuant to an agreement of limited partnership (as amended, the "Partnership Agreement") for the purpose of acquiring, maintaining and operating income-producing commercial office buildings in the Greater New York Metropolitan Area. NY Real Estate Services 1 Inc., a Delaware corporation ("NYRES1") (formerly known as Hutton Real Estate Services XV, Inc.), and Mendik Corporation, a New York corporation ("Mendik Corporation"), are the general partners (together, the "General Partners") of the Registrant. (See Item 10.) Commencing May 7, 1986, the Partnership began offering up to a maximum of 1,000,000 units of limited partnership interest (the "Units") at $500 per Unit with a minimum required purchase of 10 Units or $5,000 (four Units for an Individual Retirement Account or Keogh Plan). The Partnership offered Class A Units to taxable investors and Class B Units to tax-exempt investors. The offering of Units was completed on September 18, 1987. The Partnership held closings on June 18, 1986, September 4, 1986, January 22, 1987, March 31, 1987, June 1, 1987 and September 18, 1987 at which time investors who purchased the Units ("Investor Limited Partners") were admitted to the Partnership. Investor Limited Partners are not required to make any further capital contributions to the Partnership. Upon completion of the offering on September 18, 1987 the Partnership had accepted subscriptions for 395,169 Units for gross aggregate cash proceeds to the Partnership of $197,584,500. Net proceeds to the Partnership after deducting selling commissions, organization expenses, and other expenses of the offering were approximately $172,766,598. These proceeds were used to: (i) repay the principal amount of and interest on interim financing obtained by the Partnership to fund the acquisition of a property located at 1351 Washington Boulevard, Stamford, Connecticut (the "Stamford Property"); (ii) acquire the leasehold interests in a property located on Mamaroneck Avenue in Harrison, New York (the "Saxon Woods Corporate Center") and in a property located at 330 West 34th Street, New York, New York (the "34th Street Property") and; (iii) acquire an approximate 60% interest in Two Park Company, the joint venture which owns a property located at Two Park Avenue, New York, New York (the "Park Avenue Property"). On December 29, 1994, the Partnership transferred title to the Stamford Property to the mortgage holder in lieu of foreclosure. See Notes 2, 5 and 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of the transfer of the Stamford Property. The Saxon Woods Corporate Center, 34th Street Property and Park Avenue Property are each referred to as a "Property" and collectively referred to as the "Properties." See Item 2 of this Report and Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a further description of the Properties. The Partnership does not intend to acquire any additional properties. Following the acquisition of the Properties, a renovation program was undertaken by the Partnership to upgrade each of the Properties to maximize its investment potential. As of December 31, 1990, these renovations, exclusive of ongoing tenant improvement work in connection with the leasing of space, were substantially complete at all the Properties. See Item 2 of this Report. The Partnership's primary investment objectives with respect to the Properties (in no particular order of priority) are (i) capital appreciation, (ii) distributions of Net Cash From Operations (as defined in the Partnership Agreement), and (iii) preservation and protection of capital. The attainment of the Partnership's investment objectives has been adversely affected by the significant difficulties in the commercial office real estate market in the Greater New York Metropolitan Area. See Item 7 of this Report. The attainment of such objectives in the future will depend on many factors, including an improvement in such market conditions. There can be no assurance that such objectives will be met. Overview -- Real Estate Market Beginning in 1988 and into the early 1990s, the commercial real estate market in the Greater New York Metropolitan Area weakened considerably as the national and local economies slowed. As a result of the downturn, businesses experienced varying degrees of financial and operating difficulties and many have downsized their operations, which has had an adverse impact on the demand for commercial office space. One indication of the weakness in the region's economy relative to the rest of the United States has been the lack of employment growth. Between the official end of the national recession in March 1991 and December 1995, employment in the United States grew by 6.5 percent. In comparison, employment in New York City declined by 3.4 percent. The unemployment rate in New York City in February 1996 was 8.5% as compared to 5.0% in December 1987. This compares to unemployment rates for the entire United States of 5.5% and 5.7% in February 1996 and December 1987, respectively. As businesses reduced personnel located in the Greater New York Metropolitan Area or relocated outside of the area, the demand for office space declined and vacancy rates rose. In addition, the number of tenants attempting to sublease their commercial office space increased significantly, thereby exacerbating the oversupply of office space in the Greater New York Metropolitan Area. The weakness in the marketplace heightened competition among landlords, resulting in generally lower rents and generous tenant concession packages in the form of tenant improvements and free-rent periods. The significant rise in the cost of tenant improvements to be funded by landlords under both new and renewal leases sharply increased the demand for capital by landlords, including the Partnership. This increased demand for capital came at a time when banks and other traditional sources of capital have sharply curtailed their lending and investment activities. In addition, pressure from regulatory agencies has further eroded lending institutions' abilities to invest in real estate or finance real estate projects. The lack of liquidity led to a dramatic decline in the volume of real estate sales and financings, reducing the ability of independent appraisers to use "comparable sales" to establish valuations. In addition, the few sales that occurred were at significantly reduced prices. Furthermore, generous concession packages for new and renewal leases, longer free rent periods and stagnant rental rates contributed to sharp declines in appraised values. More recently, conditions in Midtown Manhattan, where the Partnership's Two Park Avenue and 330 West 34th Street properties are located, and Westchester County, where the Saxon Woods Corporate Center is located, have exhibited limited signs of modest improvement. Specifically, although landlords continue to offer concessions to existing and potential tenants, the level at which such concessions are being offered in comparison to recent years has decreased as the existing supply of office space continues to be absorbed. In addition, vacancy rates in both of these markets have begun to decline, albeit gradually, and overall average rental rates have stopped declining. Despite these signs of modest improvement, it is important to note that any future improvement is expected to be gradual and will be a function of the area's ability to sustain an economic recovery. Over the past several years, a strategic plan was developed and implemented by the Partnership to enable each Property, to the extent possible, to meet expenses as they come due using operating revenues generated by that Property and loan proceeds from mortgages secured by that Property. See Item 2 of this Report for a description of the Partnership's current leasing strategy at each of the Properties. Competition Each of the Properties is subject to competition from similar types of properties located in the same vicinity. The business of owning and operating commercial office buildings in the Greater New York Metropolitan Area is highly competitive, and the Partnership competes with a number of established companies, some of which have greater resources than the Partnership. Current economic conditions have increased the competition for tenants. Both of the General Partners and their respective affiliates participate directly or through other partnerships or investment vehicles in the acquisition, ownership, operation, and sale of properties which may be in direct competition with one or more of the Properties. Employees The Partnership has no employees. For a discussion on transactions with affiliates, see Item 13 and Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Item 2. Properties Park Avenue Property Valuation. Two Park Company, the joint venture in which the Partnership has an approximate 60% interest, acquired the Park Avenue Property for $151,500,000. The Property's appraised value as of September 1, 1987 was $165,000,000. The appraised value of the Property as of December 31, 1995 was $95,000,000, compared to appraised values of $105,000,000 as of December 31, 1994 and $115,000,000 as of December 31, 1993. The decline in the appraised value from December 31, 1994 to December 31, 1995 is primarily due to the lease prepayment received from a tenant in the amount of $13,839,000 (see Item 7). The Partnership's original investment in its interest in Two Park Company at acquisition was $95,965,732, including $35,820,000 which represented the Partnership's share of first mortgage debt to which the Property was subject when the Partnership acquired its interest and excluding $1,722,532 of acquisition expenses. The appraised value of the Partnership's interest in the Property as of December 31, 1995 was $56,715,000, compared to appraised values of $62,685,000 as of December 31, 1994, $68,655,000 as of December 31, 1993 and $98,505,000 as of September 1, 1987. Location. The Park Avenue Property is located at Two Park Avenue, New York, New York, on an approximately one-acre site that occupies the entire western frontage of Park Avenue between East 32nd and East 33rd Streets in midtown Manhattan. The Park Avenue Property is located four blocks east of Pennsylvania Station and nine blocks south of Grand Central Station, New York City's largest transportation hubs. Grand Central Station serves as the Manhattan terminal for the Metro North rail system. In addition to a subway stop located below the building, several major arteries for the New York City subway system have stops in and around Grand Central Station and Pennsylvania Station, providing access to passengers from the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx. Site and Improvements. The improvements to the Park Avenue Property consist of a 28-story office building that contains approximately 948,000 net rentable square feet, based on current standards of measurement. The building includes two lower levels consisting of a subway concourse, a small tenant garage containing approximately 43 spaces, rentable storage areas and mechanical facilities. Renovations. During the period from 1987 through 1995, the Two Park Company expended approximately $46.7 million on capitalized renovations, including tenant improvement construction, funded from cash flow, Property and Partnership reserves, and borrowings. Financing. Reference is made to Item 7 and Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding the non-recourse mortgages secured by the Park Avenue Property which aggregate $65 million. Leasing. The Property's occupancy rates as of February 28, 1996, 1995 and 1994, were 97%, 94% and 89%, respectively. During 1996, the Partnership will continue to market the Property's available space to commercial office tenants. Based upon data provided by an unaffiliated real estate services firm, the vacancy rate for primary office space in the Murray Hill section of Midtown Manhattan, where the Park Avenue Property is located, totalled 17.1% at December 31, 1995. Major tenants at the Park Avenue Property are The Times Mirror Company Inc., which leases approximately 272,000 square feet (approximately 29% of the total leasable area in the Property) under a lease expiring on September 30, 2010 (see Item 7) and National Benefit Life Insurance Company which leases approximately 99,800 square feet (approximately 11% of the total leasable area in the Property) under a lease expiring on May 30, 1998. National Benefit Life Insurance Company has notified the Partnership that it will vacate its space once the current lease expires. The base rental income under the leases with The Times Mirror Company Inc. and National Benefit Life Insurance Company represented approximately 20% and 9%, respectively, of the Partnership's consolidated rental income in 1995. 34th Street Property Valuation. The Partnership's investment in the leasehold interest in the 34th Street Property at acquisition was $34,883,132, excluding acquisition expenses of $728,268. The Property's appraised value as of November 1, 1986 was $39,000,000. The appraised value of the leasehold interest as of December 31, 1995 was $2,700,000 compared to appraised values of $5,700,000 at December 31, 1994 and $9,800,000 as of December 31, 1993. During the latter part of 1992, the General Partners concluded that the Partnership may be unable to hold the 34th Street Property on a long-term basis. As a result, the Partnership accounted for the Property as held for disposition. Accordingly, the carrying value of the Property was reduced to the lower of its depreciated cost or estimated market value on December 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993. In June 1995, the Partnership completed a payoff of the nonrecourse first mortgage secured by the Partnership's leasehold interest in the 34th Street Property (the "34th Street Line of Credit"). See Financing below. As a result, the Partnership intends to hold the Property and has again accounted for it as a real estate investment. Location. The 34th Street Property is located at 330 West 34th Street, New York, New York, which is between Eighth and Ninth Avenues in Manhattan's Penn Plaza district, five blocks west of the Empire State Building, one-half block west of Pennsylvania Station and three blocks east of the Jacob Javits Convention Center. The Penn Plaza district is located in midtown Manhattan and comprises the seven-block area that surrounds Pennsylvania Station, New York City's largest transportation hub. Pennsylvania Station serves as the western terminus for the Long Island Railroad, the Manhattan terminal for the Amtrak rail system and the eastern terminus for the New Jersey Transit rail system. In addition, several major arteries of the New York City subway system have stops in and around Pennsylvania Station, providing access to passengers from the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx. Madison Square Garden, New York City's largest spectator arena, is located above Pennsylvania Station. Site and Improvements. The 34th Street Property consists of an 18-story structure and a two-story attached annex containing in the aggregate approximately 637,000 net rentable square feet, based on current standards of measurement. The 46,413 square foot site also includes an above-ground parking area containing 39 spaces that is currently leased to an independent garage operator. Ground Lease. Per the terms of the ground lease agreement, the annual ground lease payment to the unaffiliated ground lessor for the parcel of land underlying the 34th Street Property increased to $2.25 million effective January 1, 1992 through December 31, 1999. The ground lease may be renewed at the option of the Partnership for successive terms of 21, 30, 30, 30 and 39 years at annual rentals, determined at the commencement of each renewal term, equal to 7% of the then-market value of the land considered as if vacant, unimproved and unencumbered, valued at the highest and best use under then-applicable zoning and other land use regulations as office, hotel or residential property, but in no event less than the higher of (i) $2.75 million or (ii) the base rent for any consecutive 12-month period during the then-preceding renewal term. Renovations. During the period from 1987 through 1995, the Partnership expended approximately $10.3 million on capitalized renovations, including tenant improvement construction, funded from cash flow, Partnership reserves, and borrowings. Financing. On August 12, 1993, the Partnership entered into an agreement with The First National Bank of Chicago ("FNBC"), the Property's lender, which modified the 34th Street Line of Credit (the "Forbearance Agreement"). The Forbearance Agreement provided the Partnership with an opportunity to pay off the 34th Street Line of Credit at a substantial discount to the 34th Street Line of Credit's outstanding balance. In May 1995, the Partnership successfully negotiated an agreement with FNBC to reduce the amount needed to pay off the 34th Street Line of Credit to $1.75 million, compared to the Property's outstanding debt balance of approximately $18 million, including accrued interest. Concurrently, since the Partnership was not able to obtain financing from a third party, an agreement was entered into with an affiliate of NYRES1 to lend the Partnership the $1.75 million unsecured loan needed to payoff the 34th Street Line of Credit (the "NYRES1 Loan"). FNBC's agreement to accept only $1.75 million in full satisfaction of the 34th Street Line of Credit effectively meant that substantially all of the outstanding principal balance of the loan was forgiven by FNBC. On June 26, 1995, the Partnership completed the payoff of the 34th Street Line of Credit. Reference is made to Item 7 and Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the payoff of the 34th Street Line of Credit and the terms of the NYRES1 Loan. In order further to supplement the Property's cash flow, beginning in January 1992, Mendik Realty Company Inc. ("Mendik Realty"), an affiliate of Mendik Corporation, agreed to defer its management fees of approximately $170,000 a year that would otherwise have been payable with respect to the 34th Street Property, although it had no obligation to do so. In connection with the NYRES1 Loan, these fees will continue to be deferred. The Partnership's outstanding obligation to pay the management fees to Mendik Realty will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate of Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York less 1.25%. Principal and interest will be payable on December 31, 2025, or such earlier date on which the term of the Partnership terminates, subject to a mandatory prepayment from the net proceeds from the sale of any of the Properties, after repayment of all debt secured by the Property sold. In addition, Mendik Realty agreed to defer its leasing commission with respect to the long-term lease with the City of New York and any further leasing commissions associated with additional leasing activity at the Property. Reference is made to Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the deferral of leasing commissions. Leasing. On February 17, 1993, the Partnership signed a long-term lease with the City of New York effective August 1, 1992 for approximately 300,000 square feet or approximately 47% of the Property's leasable area. The term of the lease is for eight years and six months expiring on February 28, 2001. As with substantially all New York City leases, the tenant has the right to terminate the lease on a floor by floor basis without penalty provided the City gives the Partnership one year's notice of its intent to terminate the lease. To date, the Partnership has not received any indication that the City intends to terminate any portion of the lease. However, the City has retained a real estate brokerage firm to evaluate its space needs at various locations in New York City, including the 34th Street Property. The Partnership has had preliminary discussions with the brokerage firm in connection with a long-term extension of the City's lease. The City makes annual base rental payments of approximately $5.4 million and will pay its proportionate share of increases in real estate taxes and operating expenses. The base rental income under the lease with the City represented approximately 18% of the Partnership's consolidated rental income in 1995. The Partnership has been marketing the Property's remaining available space to light-industrial type tenants on an "as is" basis. While rental rates for light-industrial type tenants are generally less than the rental rates received from commercial office tenants, the Partnership does not have the resources to fund tenant improvement and other costs associated with signing commercial office leases. In addition, because of continuing uncertainty surrounding the City's tenancy, the character of the City's tenancy and the nature of the services it provides, it is uncertain whether the Partnership could sign leases with traditional office tenants. The Partnership believes that renting space substantially "as is" to light-industrial type tenants is an effective alternative means to generate additional cash flow from the Property without requiring a significant current investment in tenant improvements. The Property's occupancy rates as of February 28, 1996, 1995 and 1994, were 90%, 65% and 61%, respectively. The increase in occupancy from 1994 to 1995 is the result of the signing of leases for approximately 205,000 square feet during 1995 on a substantially "as is" basis. Based upon data provided by an unaffiliated real estate services firm, the vacancy rate for secondary office space in the Penn Station section of Midtown Manhattan, where the 34th Street Property is located, totalled 22.9% at December 31, 1995. Saxon Woods Corporate Center Valuation. The Partnership's investment in the leasehold interest in the Saxon Woods Corporate Center at acquisition was $20,664,379, excluding acquisition expenses of $536,454. The Property's appraised value as of January 21, 1986 was $22,000,000. The appraised value of the leasehold interest as of December 31, 1995 was $15,200,000, compared to $15,000,000 at December 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993. Location. Saxon Woods Corporate Center is located on Mamaroneck Avenue in Harrison, New York, approximately 18 miles north of New York City in Westchester County. The office park is located near the Mamaroneck Avenue exit of Hutchinson River Parkway, approximately one mile north of Interstate 95, which is the major artery connecting New York City to Westchester County and Connecticut. Westchester County Airport is located approximately three miles north of the site. Site and Improvements. Saxon Woods Corporate Center consists of two five-story office buildings. The building at 550 Mamaroneck Avenue consists of approximately 109,000 net rentable square feet and the building at 600 Mamaroneck Avenue contains approximately 123,000 net rentable square feet, based on current standards of measurement. The buildings are situated on a 15.28 acre site, which provides ground-level parking for more than 800 cars. Ground Lease. The parcel of land underlying each building is leased from an unaffiliated ground lessor pursuant to a ground lease which terminates in September 2027 and provides the Partnership with the option to renew for two 25-year periods and one 39-year period. Each ground lease provides for an annual net rental of $170,000, with an increase of $20,000 every five years commencing in January 1996. Renovations. During the period from 1986 through 1995, the Partnership expended approximately $10.2 million on capitalized renovations, including tenant improvement construction, funded from cash flow, Partnership reserves, and borrowings. Financing. Through December 1995, the Partnership had borrowed approximately $5 million and may borrow an additional $1 million under a $6.5 million non-recourse line of credit secured by the Partnership's leasehold interest in the Saxon Woods Corporate Center (the "Saxon Woods Line of Credit"). The Saxon Woods Line of Credit matures in September 1996. The Partnership has commenced discussions with the lender in an effort to extend the maturity date of the mortgage. In the event an agreement with the lender cannot be reached, the Partnership will pursue other options, including a refinancing with a new lender or a possible sale of the Property. However, there can be no assurance that such efforts would be successful. Reference is made to Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Item 7 for additional information regarding the Saxon Woods Line of Credit. Leasing. The Property's occupancy rates as of February 28, 1996, 1995 and 1994 were 81%, 80% and 75%, respectively. The vacancy rate in Westchester County, where the Saxon Woods Corporate Center is located, was 17.6% as of December 31, 1995, as compared to a vacancy rate of 18.6% at December 31, 1994. During 1995, utilizing funds available under the Saxon Woods Line of Credit, Partnership reserves and cash flow, the Partnership entered into leasing transactions covering approximately 34,000 square feet at the Property including lease extensions and expansions by existing tenants. During 1996, the General Partners will continue to market the Property's available space to commercial office tenants using cash flow and proceeds from the Saxon Woods Line of Credit to fund the costs of additional leasing. Item 3. Legal Proceedings On February 6, 1996, a purported class action, Sword v. Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc., was commenced on behalf of, among others, all Unitholders in the Circuit Court for Baltimore, Maryland against the Partnership, Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc., E.F. Hutton & Company, Inc. and others. The complaint alleges that the Unitholders were induced to purchase Units based upon misrepresentations and/or omitted statements in the sales materials used in connection with the offering of Units in the Partnership. The complaint alleges, inter alia, claims of fraud, negligent misrepresentation and breach of fiduciary duty. The defendants intend to defend the action vigorously. On March 7, 1996, a purported class action, Ressner v. Lehman Brothers Inc., was commenced on behalf of, among others, all Unitholders in the Court of Chancery for New Castle County, Delaware, against the NYRES1 general partner of the Partnership, Lehman Brothers Inc. and others. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the Unitholders were induced to purchase Units based upon misrepresentation and/or omitted statements in the sales materials used in connection with the offering of Units in the Partnership. The complaint purports to assert a claim for breach of fiduciary duty based on the foregoing. The defendants intend to defend the action vigorously. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders During the fourth quarter of 1995, no matter was submitted to a vote of security holders through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise. PART II Item 5. Market for the Partnership's Limited Partnership Units and Related Security Holder Matters As of December 31, 1995, there were 19,695 holders of Units. No established public trading market has developed for the Units, and it is not anticipated that such a market will develop in the future. The transfer of Units is subject to significant restrictions, including the requirement that an Investor Limited Partner may transfer his Units only with the consent of the General Partners, which consent may be withheld in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partners. During the first quarter of 1989, distributions to the Partners were suspended following a decision made by the Partnership to establish reserves in the amount of what would otherwise be Net Cash From Operations to help meet anticipated Partnership requirements. For the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, no distributions were paid to the Partners, and the Partnership does not contemplate making any distributions during 1996. See Item 7 of this Report.

(6) Includes a $5,564,391 gain on transfer in lieu of foreclosure resulting from the transfer of the Stamford Property on December 29, 1994. (7) Includes an unrealized loss on properties held for disposition of $4,010,962, $4,240,608 and $43,166,559 at December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. See Item 7. (8) The calculation of net asset value assumes a hypothetical sale of the Properties at their appraised values and the distribution of the net proceeds of such sales, together with the Partnership's working capital, to the Partners. The net asset value represents an average per unit liquidation value and, consistent with prior practice, is computed by dividing the total value of the Partnership's assets by the total number of units outstanding. Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, distributions to individual unit holders upon liquidation will vary from distributions upon sale or refinancing of individual Properties when the Partnership is not liquidating. In a liquidation, distributions are made in proportion to positive capital account balances which vary between Class A and B units as a result of the annual allocation of depreciation solely to Class A units, in accordance with the Partnership Agreement. With respect to the individual Class A units, there is a further variance in capital accounts resulting from the six separate closings for the purchase of units. Separately computed, assuming a hypothetical liquidation as of December 31, 1995, the amount distributable to an average Class A unit would be approximately $78.83 per unit, with earlier issued units receiving less and later issued units receiving more, and the amount distributable to a Class B unit would be approximately $129.04 per unit. The calculation of net asset value does not take into account numerous other factors which would determine the actual value received for individual units, such as the timing of Property sales and distribution of related proceeds, as well as the actual values realized upon sales of the Properties. In addition, as a result of these factors and the lack of a public market for the resale of units, the price at which units may be resold is likely to be significantly different from the computed net asset value per unit. The Times Mirror lease pre-payment, as discussed in Item 7 below, has been treated as a capital transaction and, accordingly, this income was allocated to the Class A Limited Partners in accordance with the Partnership Agreement. Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity and Capital Resources Beginning in 1988 and into the early 1990s, the commercial real estate market in the Greater New York Metropolitan Area weakened considerably as the national and local economies slowed. As a result of the downturn, businesses experienced varying degrees of financial and operating difficulties and many have downsized their operations, which has had an adverse impact on the demand for commercial office space. The weakness in the marketplace heightened competition among landlords, resulting in generally lower rents and generous tenant concession packages in the form of tenant improvements and free-rent periods. The significant cost of tenant improvements required to be funded under both new and renewal leases sharply increased the demand for capital by landlords, including the Partnership. Expenditures for tenant improvements have contributed to the Partnership's reduced liquidity. In order to conserve its limited resources, the Partnership has pursued a strategy intended to position each of the Properties, to the extent possible, to meet its operating and other expenses as they come due using only the operating income generated by that Property, and, if necessary, proceeds from borrowings secured by such Property. During the year ended December 31, 1995, the Partnership funded operating costs, the cost of tenant improvements, leasing commissions, and building capital improvements from five sources: (i) cash flow generated by the Properties, (ii) Partnership reserves, (iii) the deferral of property management fees and leasing commissions by Mendik Realty with respect to certain of the Properties, (iv) proceeds from the Saxon Woods Line of Credit and (v) the prepayment of rent by The Times Mirror Company Inc., in connection with the lease restructuring at the Park Avenue Property in November 1995 as discussed below. It is expected that funds from certain of these sources will be reduced or unavailable in the future. Park Avenue Property - For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Partnership signed new and renewal leases and amended leases for 408,732 square feet or approximately 43% of the leasable area in the Property. The largest of the new leases was with The Times Mirror Company Inc. During the fourth quarter of 1995, the Partnership was successful in negotiating a six and one quarter year lease extension from June 30, 2004 through September 30, 2010 on substantially an "as is" basis with Times Mirror Magazines Inc. and its affiliate, Newsday Inc. As part of the extension, The Times Mirror Company Inc., the parent company of Times Mirror Magazines Inc. and Newsday Inc., took over the leases, which total approximately 263,000 square feet. The Times Mirror Company Inc., whose financial condition is more secure than those of its subsidiaries, also leased an additional 9,000 square feet, bringing its total leased space to approximately 272,000 square feet or approximately 29% of the Property. As part of the lease amendment, The Times Mirror Company Inc. pre-paid a portion of the rents due through the original lease expiration of June 30, 2004. The lease prepayment was used by the Partnership to prepay, without penalty, $10 million of the outstanding balance of the loans secured by the Property, reducing the principal balance of the loans to $65 million. The balance of funds from the prepayment was used for tenant improvements, leasing commissions and other costs associated with the execution of the amended lease with The Times Mirror Company Inc. Such prepayment was made in November 1995. The Times Mirror pre-payment has been treated as a capital transaction and, accordingly, this income was allocated to the Class A Limited Partners in accordance with the Partnership Agreement. The Property's cash flow in 1996 is expected to remain stable. The costs of leasing space at the Property are being funded with existing Property cash flow and reserves maintained by the joint venture that owns the Park Avenue Property. In order to fund tenant improvements and leasing commissions for the new leases as well as certain other leases currently under negotiation, the Partnership utilized or committed to utilize substantially all of the Property's cash reserves which at year-end 1995 were approximately $3.5 million over and above a reserve for real estate taxes. However, it is expected that these leases will increase the Property's cash flow, which cash flow will be available to re-establish reserves. The Park Avenue Property currently generates, and is expected to generate over the near term, sufficient cash flow to cover operating expenses and current debt service charges. The indebtedness secured by the Park Avenue Property currently matures in December 1998 (or December 1996 at the option of the lender and with 180 days written notice). The lender has, to date, given neither formal notice nor any indication that it will or intends to accelerate the maturity date of the loans. If the maturity of the loans is accelerated, the Partnership will explore other options, including either a refinancing with a new lender or a possible sale of the Property. However, no assurances can be given that the Partnership would be able to refinance or sell the Property on terms acceptable to the Partnership. Saxon Woods Corporate Center - During 1995, the Partnership executed leases for 34,350 square feet. The Partnership expects that cash flow from the Saxon Woods Corporate Center will cover operating expenses and debt service obligations in 1996. The Saxon Woods Line of Credit is in the amount of up to $6.5 million. As of December 31, 1995, the Partnership had borrowed $5,044,524 under the Saxon Woods Line of Credit. Pursuant to Section 13(d) (xviii) of the Partnership Agreement, which prohibits the Partnership from incurring indebtedness secured by a property in excess of 40% of the then-appraised value of such property (or 40% of the value of such property as determined by the lender as of the date of financing or refinancing, if such value is lower) (the "Borrowing Limitation"), the Partnership is currently permitted to borrow up to $6,080,000 based on the most recent appraisal of the Saxon Woods Corporate Center which was $15,200,000 as of December 31, 1995. The loan agreement provides that all available cash flow from the Property will be used for expenses incurred at the Property prior to borrowing any additional funds under the Saxon Woods Line of Credit. The indebtedness secured by the Saxon Woods Corporate Center currently matures in September 1996. The Partnership has commenced discussions with the lender in an effort to extend the maturity date of the mortgage. In the event an agreement with the lender cannot be reached, the Partnership will pursue other options, including a refinancing with a new lender or a possible sale of the Property. However, there can be no assurance that such efforts would be successful. 34th Street Property - During 1995, the Partnership entered into leasing transactions for 205,310 square feet on a substantially "as is" basis, resulting in a 25% increase in the Property's December 31, 1995 leased rate as compared to the leased rate at December 31, 1994. The largest tenant in the Property is the City of New York Human Resources Administration occupying approximately 47% of the total leasable area under a lease which is scheduled to expire in February 2001. The terms of the lease call for the City to make annual base rental payments of approximately $5.4 million and pay its proportionate share of increases in real estate taxes and operating expenses. As with most New York City leases, the tenant has the right to terminate its lease on a floor by floor basis upon one year's notice although it must reimburse the Partnership's unamortized costs of tenant improvements associated with the lease. To date, the Partnership has not received any indication that the City intends to terminate any portion of the lease. However, the City has retained a real estate brokerage firm to evaluate its space needs at various locations in New York City, including the 34th Street Property. The Partnership has had preliminary discussions with the brokerage firm in connection with a long-term extension of the City's lease. In May 1995, the Partnership successfully negotiated an agreement with FNBC to reduce the amount needed to pay off the 34th Street Line of Credit to $1.75 million, compared to the Property's outstanding debt balance of approximately $18 million, including accrued interest. Concurrently, an agreement was entered into with an affiliate of NY Real Estate Services 1 Inc. to lend the Partnership the $1.75 million unsecured loan needed to complete the payoff of the 34th Street Line of Credit prior to June 30, 1995. FNBC's agreement to accept only $1.75 million in full satisfaction of the 34th Street Line of Credit effectively meant that substantially all of the outstanding principal balance was forgiven by FNBC. On June 26, 1995, the Partnership completed the payoff of the 34th Street Line of Credit. As a result of the successful payoff, the Partnership will be able to retain its interest in the Property and have the opportunity to benefit from a possible improvement in the market. The NYRES1 Loan bears interest at the prime rate less one and one-quarter percent. Payments of accrued interest and principal will be payable on a current basis to the extent there is net cash flow available from the 34th Street Property. To the extent that interest has not been paid on a current basis from the Property's cash flow, any net proceeds realized from the conveyance or refinancing of the 34th Street Property or any of the Partnership's other properties will be used to pay accrued interest and principal on the loan. The NYRES1 Loan matures upon the earlier of December 31, 2025 or the termination of the Partnership and is not secured by a mortgage on the Property, but remains an unsecured obligation of the Partnership. In connection with the NYRES1 Loan, Mendik Realty, an affiliate of Mendik Corporation, agreed to continue to defer its management fees and leasing commissions associated with any additional leasing activity that would otherwise have been payable with respect to the Property. During the latter part of 1992, the General Partners concluded that the Partnership may be unable to hold the 34th Street Property on a long-term basis. As a result, the Partnership accounted for the Property as held for disposition. Accordingly, the carrying value of the Property was reduced to the lower of its depreciated cost or estimated market value. Now that the Partnership has replaced the first mortgage debt on the Property with the NYRES1 Loan, the Partnership intends to hold the Property and has again accounted for it as a real estate investment. In order to improve the 34th Street Property's cash flow, beginning in January 1992, Mendik Realty voluntarily agreed to defer its management fees of approximately $170,000 a year that would otherwise have been payable with respect to the 34th Street Property, although it had no obligation to do so. In addition, Mendik Realty agreed to defer its leasing commission with respect to the signing of the long-term lease with the City of New York and any further leasing commissions associated with additional leasing activity at the Property. As noted above, in connection with the NYRES1 Loan, these fees and commissions will continue to be deferred. Through December 31, 1995, Mendik Realty had deferred approximately $1,367,413 in leasing commissions and management fees, including accrued interest, with respect to the 34th Street Property. Operating Cash Reserves The Partnership's consolidated cash reserves decreased by $664,367 to $4,673,561 at December 31, 1995 from $5,337,928 at December 31, 1994 primarily as a result of payments for tenant improvements at the Park Avenue Property. The decrease was partially offset by cash flow generated by the 34th Street Property. During the year ended December 31, 1995, approximately $5.6 million was expended for property improvements at the Park Avenue Property, Saxon Woods Corporate Center and the 34th Street Property in connection with leasing activity and other building improvements. These expenditures were funded by cash flow from operations generated during 1995, proceeds from the Saxon Woods Line of Credit, Partnership cash reserves, the deferral of property management fees and leasing commissions by Mendik Realty with respect to certain of the Properties, and the prepayment of rent by The Times Mirror Company Inc. in connection with the lease restructuring at the Park Avenue Property in November 1995. The Partnership's restricted cash balance at December 31, 1995 decreased by $1,045,662 to $1,065,455 at December 31, 1995 from $2,111,117 at December 31, 1994. Prior to the payoff of the 34th Street Line of Credit, the Partnership was required to deposit all receipts from the 34th Street Property into a lockbox at FNBC. As a result of the successful buy out of the 34th Street Line of Credit, funds maintained in the lockbox totalling approximately $943,000, and reflected under restricted cash, were released to the Partnership and were used to pay real estate taxes. Other Unliquidated Assets Deferred rent receivable totalled $9,597,899 at December 31, 1995 compared to $14,508,937 at December 31, 1994. The $4,911,038 decrease is primarily attributable to the restructuring of the Times Mirror Magazine and Newsday leases at the Two Park Avenue Property in the fourth quarter of 1995. The Times Mirror Company Inc., the parent company of Times Mirror Magazines Inc. and Newsday Inc., assumed the leases and extended the term for six and one quarter years through September 30, 2010. As part of the lease amendment, The Times Mirror Company pre-paid a portion of the rents due through the original lease expiration of June 30, 2004 and effectively reduced their rental rate per square foot over the remaining lease term. Other assets increased from $8,090,275 at December 31, 1994 to $10,541,223 at December 31, 1995. The increase is primarily attributable to additional unamortized leasing commissions in connection with leasing activity at the Partnership's Properties during 1995. Short- and Long-Term Liabilities Accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased by $1,107,940 from $2,647,703 at December 31, 1994 to $1,539,763 at December 31, 1995. The decrease is primarily attributable to the payments of tenant and building improvements and other property operating expenses primarily related to the Park Avenue Property. Deferred income increased from $134,114 at December 31, 1994 to $7,530,747 at December 31, 1995. The increase is primarily attributable to the execution of the amended lease with The Times Mirror Company, Inc. in the fourth quarter of 1995. Due to affiliates increased from $1,783,552 at December 31, 1994 to $2,650,348 at December 31, 1995. The $866,796 increase is primarily attributable to the continued deferral by Mendik Realty of management fees with respect to the 34th Street Property and cleaning and related service costs owed to an affiliate of Mendik Realty. Accrued interest payable totalled $621,854 at December 31, 1995 as compared to $2,985,200 at December 31, 1994. The decrease is primarily attributable to the June 1995 discounted payoff of the 34th Street Line of Credit as discussed above. Mortgages payable decreased from $94,680,836 at December 31, 1994 to $70,044,524 at December 31, 1995. The $24,636,312 decrease is primarily attributable to the $10 million paydown of the Two Park Avenue loans with funds received from the prepayment of rent by The Times Mirror Company as discussed above and the June 1995 discounted payoff of the 34th Street Line of Credit. Notes payable to affiliates increased from $480,000 at December 31, 1994 to $2,230,000 at December 31, 1995. The increase is primarily attributable to the NYRES1 Loan to the Partnership in connection with the payoff of the 34th Street Line of Credit in June 1995. Results of Operations 1995 vs. 1994 For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Partnership generated net cash from operating activities of $15,247,357 compared to $4,279,060 for the year ended December 31, 1994. The increase is primarily attributable to the prepayment of rent by The Times Mirror Company Inc. in connection with the lease restructuring at the Park Avenue Property in November 1995. The Partnership generated net income of $11,613,040 for the year ended December 31, 1995 compared to a net loss of $6,173,627 for the year ended December 31, 1994. The change from net loss to net income is primarily attributable to a $16,247,734 extraordinary gain recognized on the retirement of the 34th Street Line of Credit. Without the gain, the Partnership generated a loss before extraordinary item of $4,634,694 for the year ended December 31, 1995. The lower operating loss in 1995 is primarily attributable to decreases in property operating expenses, depreciation and amortization, and interest expense. Rental income for the year ended December 31, 1995 totalled $33,420,387, largely unchanged from $33,708,412 for the year ended December 31, 1994. While the transfer of the Stamford Property in December 1994 was the primary reason for the slight decrease in rental income during 1995, this was largely offset by increased rental income at Two Park Avenue and Saxon Woods Corporate Center as a result of new and renewal leases executed at these Properties during the prior year. Property operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 1995 totalled $20,024,041 compared to $21,097,441 for the year ended December 31, 1994. The decrease is primarily attributable to the transfer of the Stamford Property to the lender in December 1994 in lieu of foreclosure. The transfer of the Stamford Property was also the primary reason for the $2,180,466 and $506,543 decreases in interest expense and depreciation and amortization, respectively, during 1995 as compared to 1994. 1994 vs. 1993 For the year ended December 31, 1994, the Partnership generated net cash from operating activities of $4,279,060 as compared to $1,275,101 during 1993. The increase is primarily attributable to the increase in accrued interest payable primarily related to the Stamford Loan. See below. The Partnership sustained net losses of approximately $6.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1994 as compared to approximately $11.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1993. The change in net loss is primarily due to a $5,564,391 gain on transfer in lieu of foreclosure under generally accepted accounting principles resulting from the transfer of the Stamford Property in 1994. Rental income for the year ended December 31, 1994 was $33,708,412 compared to $34,333,599 for the year ended December 31, 1993. Rental income declined primarily due to the reduction in income at the Stamford Property as a result of lease expirations. Property operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 1994 slightly decreased from the year ended December 31, 1993 due primarily to reduced real estate taxes resulting from decreases in assessed property values on the Park Avenue Property, the 34th Street Property and the Saxon Woods Corporate Center. Additionally, decreases in contract services at the Park Avenue and 34th Street Properties resulted in decreases in property operating expenses. These reductions were offset by increases in utilities at the Park Avenue Property, and professional fees and contract services at the Stamford Property. Interest expense increased primarily due to the default on the Stamford Loan which resulted in an increase in the interest rate from 10.3% per annum to 15% per annum. As the Stamford Loan was nonrecourse, the Partnership was not liable for this additional interest when the property was transferred to the lender. To a lesser extent, additional borrowings on the Saxon Woods Line of Credit and increases in the interest rates on the Saxon Woods Line of Credit and 34th Street Line of Credit contributed to the increase. As a result of the Partnership's previous decision to carry the 34th Street Property and Stamford Property at the lower of their depreciated cost or estimated market value, the Partnership recorded an unrealized loss on properties held for disposition of $4,010,962 for the year ended December 31, 1994 and $4,240,608 for the year ended December 31, 1993.

NYRES1 NYRES1 is a Delaware Corporation formed on September 9, 1985, and is an affiliate of Lehman Brothers Inc. ("Lehman"). On July 31, 1993, Shearson Lehman Brothers, Inc. ("Shearson") sold certain of its domestic retail brokerage and asset management businesses to Smith Barney, Harris Upham & Co. Incorporated ("Smith Barney"). Subsequent to the sale, Shearson changed its name to Lehman Brothers Inc. The transaction did not affect the ownership of the Partnership or the General Partners. However, the assets acquired by Smith Barney included the name "Hutton." Consequently, effective October 22, 1993, Hutton Real Estate Services XV, Inc. changed its name to NY Real Estate Services 1 Inc. to delete any references to "Hutton." Pursuant to Section 22(b) of the Partnership Agreement, an affiliate of Lehman has contributed to the capital of NYRES1 $2.5 million in the form of a demand promissory note, which represents the only substantial asset of NYRES1. Such affiliate has a net worth in excess of such amount. Certain officers and directors of NYRES1 are now serving (or in the past have served) as officers or directors of entities which act as general partners of a number of real estate limited partnerships which have sought protection under the provisions of the Federal Bankruptcy Code. The partnerships which have filed bankruptcy petitions own real estate which has been adversely affected by the economic conditions in the markets in which the real estate is located and, consequently, the partnerships sought the protection of the bankruptcy laws to protect the partnerships' assets from loss through foreclosure. The executive officers and sole director of NYRES1 (none of whom has a family relationship with another) are: Name Age Office Kenneth L. Zakin 48 Director and President Mark Sawicki 33 Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Lawrence M. Ostow 28 Vice President Kenneth L. Zakin has been an officer of NYRES1 since 1989.

Certain Business Relationships and Related Transactions As a result of the suspension of cash distributions, neither NYRES1 nor Mendik Corporation received Net Cash from Operations with respect to the year ended December 31, 1995. For the 1995 fiscal year, $743,548 of the Partnership's net income was allocated to each of NYRES1 and Mendik Corporation. For a description of the shares of Net Cash From Operations and Sale or Refinancing Proceeds (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) and the allocation of items of income and loss to which the General Partners, the special limited partner, and the Investor Limited Partners are respectively entitled, see Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Pursuant to Section 12 of the Partnership Agreement, Mendik Realty has agreed to limit its payment of leasing commissions at any Property in any year to not more than 3% of the gross operating revenues of that Property in such year less leasing commissions paid to other brokers in connection with that Property in such year. Any excess will be deferred but is payable only if and to the extent such limit is not exceeded in the year paid. As of December 31, 1995, there was a liability of approximately $1,218,972 to Mendik Realty as a result of leasing commissions earned in 1995 and prior periods from the 34th Street Property, Park Avenue Property and Saxon Woods Corporate Center. During 1995, Mendik Realty deferred its leasing commissions earned in connection with the leasing of space at the 34th Street Property and will continue to defer these commissions during 1996.

To complete the discounted payoff the Partnership received a loan from an affiliate of NY Real Estate Services 1 Inc., in the amount of $1.75 million. On December 29, 1994, the Partnership transferred title to the 1351 Washington Boulevard property to the mortgage holder, in lieu of foreclosure.

Supplemental Disclosure of Non-Cash Operating Activities: During the year ended December 31, 1995, the Partnership wrote-off $227,741 of fully amortized assets. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993 1. Organization Mendik Real Estate Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") was organized as a limited partnership under the laws of the State of New York pursuant to a Certificate and Agreement of Limited Partnership dated and filed October 30, 1985 (the "Partnership Agreement"), as amended, and subsequently amended and restated on February 25, 1986. The Partnership was formed for the purpose of acquiring, maintaining and operating income producing commercial office buildings in the Greater New York Metropolitan Area. The general partners of the Partnership are Mendik Corporation and NYRES1 (See below). The Partnership will continue until December 31, 2025, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement. The Partnership offered Class A units to taxable investors and Class B units to tax exempt investors. On July 31, 1993, Shearson Lehman Brothers Inc. sold certain of its domestic retail brokerage and asset management businesses to Smith Barney, Harris Upham & Co. Incorporated ("Smith Barney"). Subsequent to the sale, Shearson Lehman Brothers Inc. changed its name to Lehman Brothers Inc. The transaction did not affect the ownership of the general partners. However, the assets acquired by Smith Barney included the name "Hutton." Consequently, effective October 22, 1993, Hutton Real Estate Services XV, Inc., a general partner, changed its name to NY Real Estate Services 1 Inc. ("NYRES1") to delete any reference to "Hutton." 2. Liquidity The commercial real estate market in the Greater New York Metropolitan Area has shown some limited signs of improvement. However, the significant cost of tenant improvements required to be funded under both new and renewal leases has sharply increased the demand for capital by landlords, including the Partnership. Expenditures for tenant improvements have contributed to the Partnership's reduced liquidity. In order to conserve the Partnership's limited resources, the Partnership has pursued a strategy intended to position each of the Partnership's properties, to the extent possible, to meet its operating and other expenses as they come due using only the operating income generated by that property, and if necessary, proceeds from borrowings secured by such property. Park Avenue Property - Although the Partnership continues to lease space at the Property, with the continuing softness in the real estate market, new and renewal leases generally have been signed at rental rates significantly less than the rental rates received on leases signed in the mid-1980's. The Property's cash flow, however, is expected to remain stable in 1996. The costs of leasing space at the property are being funded with existing property cash flow and reserves maintained by the joint venture that owns the Park Avenue Property. With the signing of the new leases as well as certain other leases currently under negotiation, the Partnership utilized or committed to utilize substantially all of the joint venture's cash reserves which at year-end 1995 were approximately $3.5 million over and above a reserve for real estate taxes. However, it is expected that these leases will increase the property's cash flow, which cash flow will be available to reestablish reserves. During the fourth quarter of 1995, the Partnership was successful in negotiating a six and one quarter year lease extension from June 30, 2004 through September 30, 2010 on substantially an "as is" basis with Times Mirror Magazines Inc. and its affiliate, Newsday Inc. As part of the extension, The Times Mirror Company Inc., the parent company of Times Mirror Magazines Inc. and Newsday Inc., took over the leases, which total approximately 263,000 square feet. The Times Mirror Company Inc., whose financial condition is more secure than those of its subsidiaries, also leased an additional 9,000 square feet, bringing its total leased space to approximately 272,000 square feet or approximately 29% of the Property. As part of the lease amendment, The Times Mirror Company pre-paid a portion of the rents due through the original lease expiration of June 30, 2004. The lease prepayment was used by the Partnership to prepay, without penalty, $10 million of the outstanding balance of the loans secured by the Property, reducing the principal balance of the loans to $65 million. Such prepayment was made in November 1995. The Park Avenue Property currently generates, and is expected to generate over the near term, sufficient cash flow to cover operating expenses and current debt service charges under the loans. The indebtedness secured by the Park Avenue Property currently matures in December 1998, or December 1996 at the option of the lender, (See Note 6 for further information). The lender has, to date, given neither formal notice nor any indication that it will or intends to accelerate the maturity date of the loans. If the maturity of the loans is accelerated, the Partnership will explore other options, including either a refinancing with a new lender or a possible sale of the property. However, no assurances can be given that the Partnership would be able to refinance or sell the property on terms acceptable to the Partnership. The property was 97% and 92% leased at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The 34th Street Property - The parcel of land underlying the 34th Street Property is leased from an unaffiliated third party pursuant to a ground lease with an initial term ending on December 31, 1999 that provides for annual lease payments of $2.25 million through December 31, 1999. The ground lease may be renewed in 1999 and thereafter at the option of the Partnership for successive terms of 21, 30, 30, 30 and 39 years at annual rentals, determined at the commencement of each renewal term, equal to 7% of the then-market value of the land considered as if vacant, unimproved and unencumbered, valued at the highest and best use under then-applicable zoning and other land use regulations as office, hotel or residential property, but in no event less than the higher of (i) $2.75 million or (ii) the base rent for any consecutive 12-month period during the then-preceding renewal term. In 1993, the Partnership signed a long-term lease with the City of New York for approximately 47% of the Property's total leasable space in the 34th Street Property. The City has the right to terminate the lease on a floor by floor basis provided the City gives the Partnership one year's prior notice and to reimburse the Partnership for certain improvement costs as defined in the lease. The terms of the lease call for the City to make annual base rental payments of approximately $5.4 million and pay its proportionate share of increases in real estate taxes and operating expenses. Per the terms of the lease, approximately $1.25 million was spent by the Partnership for required tenant improvements. In order to fund the tenant improvements required by the City lease, the Partnership negotiated an agreement with the unaffiliated ground lessor pursuant to which the ground lessor agreed to make available the $1.25 million that was being held as security under the ground lease. The ground lessor also agreed to waive the lease requirement that the Partnership deposit an additional $1 million as security with the ground lessor in connection with the increase in the annual ground rent in 1992 to $2.25 million. In order to improve the 34th Street Property's cash flow, beginning in January 1992, Mendik Realty Company, Inc. ("Mendik Realty"), an affiliate of Mendik Corporation, voluntarily agreed to defer its management fees of approximately $170,000 a year that would otherwise have been payable with respect to the 34th Street Property. In addition, Mendik Realty agreed to defer its leasing commission with respect to the signing of the long-term lease with the City of New York and any further leasing commissions associated with additional leasing activity at the Property. Through December 31, 1995, Mendik Realty has deferred approximately $1,367,413 in leasing commissions and management fees with respect to the 34th Street Property. On August 12, 1993, the Partnership entered into a forbearance agreement which modified the terms of the 34th Street Line of Credit. Pursuant to the forbearance agreement, FNBC agreed to forbear through June 30, 1994 from exercising its remedies under the loan agreement as a result of the Partnership suspending its interest payments to FNBC beginning in September 1992. On August 15, 1994, an extension of the forbearance agreement was entered into with FNBC extending the forbearance period from June 30, 1994 to December 31, 1994. At the end of 1994, the Partnership obtained a further extension of the forbearance period to June 30, 1995. The forbearance agreement allowed the Partnership to pay off the 34th Street Line of Credit for $6 million at any time through June 30, 1995, a substantial discount to the 34th Street Line of Credit's current outstanding balance. In May 1995, the Partnership successfully negotiated an agreement with FNBC to reduce the amount needed to pay off the nonrecourse first mortgage secured by the Partnership's leasehold interest in the 34th Street Property (the "34th Street Line of Credit") to $1.75 million compared to the property's outstanding debt balance of approximately $18 million, including accrued interest. Concurrently, an agreement was entered into with an affiliate of NY Real Estate Services 1 Inc. to lend the Partnership the $1.75 million needed to complete the payoff of the 34th Street Line of Credit prior to June 30, 1995 (the "NYRES1 Loan"). FNBC's agreement to accept only $1.75 million in full satisfaction of the 34th Street Line of Credit effectively meant that substantially all of the outstanding principal balance of the loan was forgiven by FNBC. On June 26, 1995, the Partnership completed the payoff of the 34th Street Line of Credit. As a result, the Partnership will be able to retain its interest in the property and will have the opportunity to benefit from any improvement in the market. The NYRES1 Loan bears interest at the prime rate less one and one-quarter percent. Payments of accrued interest and principal will be payable on a current basis to the extent there is net cash flow available from the 34th Street property. To the extent that interest has not been paid on a current basis from the property's cash flow, any net proceeds realized from the conveyance or refinancing of the 34th Street Property or any of the Partnership's other properties will be used to pay accrued interest and principal on the loan. The NYRES1 Loan matures upon the earlier of December 31, 2025 or the termination of the Partnership and is not secured by a mortgage on the property, but remains an unsecured obligation of the Partnership. In connection with the NYRES1 Loan, Mendik Realty agreed to continue to defer its management fees and leasing commissions associated with any additional leasing activity that would otherwise have been payable with respect to the property. The property was 90% and 65% occupied at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Saxon Woods Corporate Center - The Partnership expects that cash flow from the Saxon Woods Corporate Center will cover operating expenses and debt service obligations in 1996. Although the Saxon Woods Line of Credit is in the amount of up to $6.5 million, as a result of Section 13(d) (xviii) of the Partnership Agreement which prohibits the Partnership from incurring indebtedness secured by a Property in excess of 40% of the then-appraised value of such Property (or 40% of the value of such Property as determined by the lender as of the date of financing or refinancing, if such value is lower) (the "Borrowing Limitation"), the Partnership is permitted to borrow only $6,080,000 based upon the most recent appraisal of the Saxon Woods Corporate Center which as of December 31, 1995 was $15,200,000. The loan agreement provides that all available cash flow from the Saxon Woods Corporate Center will be used for expenses incurred at the Saxon Woods Corporate Center prior to borrowing additional funds under the Saxon Woods Line of Credit. The Partnership believes that additional leasing activity, the costs of which will be funded to the extent of borrowings permitted under the Saxon Woods Line of Credit and operating cash flow, may result in an increase in the appraised value of the Property thereby enabling the Partnership to borrow additional amounts available under the Saxon Woods Line of Credit. There can be no assurance that the property's appraised value will increase in the future which would enable the Partnership to borrow additional funds. As of December 31, 1995, the Partnership had borrowed $5,044,524 under the Saxon Woods Line of Credit. The indebtedness secured by the Saxon Woods Corporate Center currently matures in September 1996. The Partnership has commenced discussions with the lender in an effort to extend the maturity date of the mortgage. In the event an agreement with the lender cannot be reached, the Partnership will pursue other options, including a refinancing with a new lender or a possible sale of the Property. However, there can be no assurance that such efforts would be successful. The property was 81% and 78% occupied at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Stamford Property - The Partnership restructured the nonrecourse loan secured by the Stamford Property in 1991. The restructuring was intended to enable the Stamford Property to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its operating expenses and debt service obligations through 1993 without utilizing the Partnership's working capital reserves. However, the Stamford real estate market continued to deteriorate resulting in a further erosion of market lease rates. During 1994 two leases totaling 77,800 square feet expired and, although the Partnership was able to negotiate a new lease for 46,600 square feet with one of the tenants, it was at a significantly reduced rental rate. As a result, the property's revenue declined significantly and the Partnership failed to make full payment of debt service due on February 10, 1994 through December 10, 1994 with respect to the Stamford Loan. The Partnership was unsuccessful in its attempts to sell the property at a price sufficient to pay off the mortgage. As a result, on December 29, 1994, the Partnership transferred title to the Stamford Property to the lender in lieu of foreclosure. The transfer resulted in the loss of the Partnership's investment in the property; however, the Partnership was not liable for accrued interest or the principal balance of the mortgage not otherwise satisfied by transfer of the property. The property was 47% occupied at the date of transfer of the property on December 29, 1994. 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Accounting. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Revenues are recognized as earned and expenses are recorded as obligations are incurred. Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and of Two Park Company, a joint venture in which the Partnership owns an approximate 60% general partnership interest. The joint venture was formed to own and operate a commercial office building. Intercompany accounts and transactions between the Partnership and the venture have been eliminated in consolidation. Real Estate Investments. Real estate investments which consist of buildings, are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes the initial purchase price of the properties plus closing costs, acquisition and legal fees, and capital improvements. Depreciation of the buildings is computed using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 20 to 35 years. Depreciation of personal property is computed using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life ranging from 5 to 10 years. Tenant improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the respective lease terms. During the latter part of 1992, the General Partners concluded that the Partnership may be unable to hold the 34th Street Property on a long-term basis. As a result, the Partnership accounted for the property as held for disposition. Accordingly, the carrying value of the property was reduced to the lower of its depreciated cost or estimated market value. Now that the Partnership has replaced the first mortgage debt on the property with the NYRES 1 Loan, management intends to hold the property and has again accounted for it as a real estate investment. Accounting for Impairment. In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" ("FAS 121"), which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount. FAS 121 also addresses the accounting for long-lived assets that are expected to be disposed of. The Partnership adopted FAS 121 in the fourth quarter of 1995. The Partnership completed a review of recoverability of the carrying amount of each property based upon an estimate of undiscounted cash flows expected to result from each property's use and eventual disposition. Based on current estimates, the adoption of FAS 121 had no impact on the financial statements. However, if long-term financing cannot be arranged for the Two Park and Saxon Woods properties and the 34th Street Property ground lease is not extended, it is reasonably possible that a change in the Partnership's assessment of recoverability could occur. Cash Equivalents. Cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid investments which have maturities of three months or less from the date of issuance. The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. Restricted Cash. Restricted cash consists of security deposits. Marketable Securities. Marketable securities, which consist of United States Treasury securities and Agencies, are carried at amortized cost, which approximates market. Concentration of Credit Risk. Financial instruments which potentially subject the Partnership to a concentration of credit risk principally consist of cash in excess of the financial institutions' insurance limits. The Partnership invests available cash with high credit quality financial institutions. Lease Revenue. Rental income is recognized as earned under the leases. Accordingly, as certain leases of the Partnership provide for tenant occupancy during periods for which no rent or reduced rent is due, the Partnership accrues rental income for the full period of occupancy on a straight-line basis over the related lease terms. The Partnership has determined that all leases associated with the rental of space at the investment properties are operating leases. Leasing Costs. Leasing costs are capitalized and amortized using the straight line-method over the respective lease terms. Mortgage Costs. Mortgage costs are capitalized and amortized over the term of the mortgages payable. Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" ("FAS 107"), requires that the Partnership disclose the estimated fair values of its financial instruments. Fair values generally represent estimates of amounts at which a financial instrument could be exchanged between willing parties in a current transaction other than in forced liquidation. Fair value estimates are subjective and are dependent on a number of significant assumptions based on management's judgement regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. In addition, FAS 107 allows a wide range of valuation techniques, therefore, comparisons between entities, however similar, may be difficult. Income Taxes. The Partnership allocates all profits, losses and other taxable items to the individual partners. No provision for income taxes is made in the financial statements as the liabilities for such taxes are those of the partners rather than the Partnership. Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Net Income (Loss) Per Limited Partnership Unit. Net income (loss) per limited partnership unit is based upon the limited partnership units outstanding during the year and the net income (loss) allocated to the limited partners in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement. Reclassification. Certain 1994 and 1993 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the financial statement presentation used in 1995. 4. The Partnership Agreement Taxable income for any fiscal year shall be generally allocated in substantially the same manner as net cash from operations then 85% to the limited partners, 14% to the special limited partner and 1% to the general partners, except that depreciation allocated to the limited partners will be allocated solely to the Class A units. Tax losses for any fiscal year will generally be allocated to the limited partners and special limited partner to the extent of their positive capital accounts and then 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the general partners. The Times Mirror Lease Prepayment and the gain on retirement of the 34th Street Property debt have been treated as capital transactions for purposes of allocation under the Partnership Agreement. Accordingly, only the Class A limited partners, the special limited partner and the general partners have received an allocation of income; Class B limited partners received no allocation from these transactions. The Partnership Agreement provides that the net cash from operations, as defined, for each fiscal year will be distributed on a quarterly basis, 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the general partners (as defined) until each limited partner has received an amount equal to an 8% annual preferred return. The net cash from operations will then be distributed, 99% to the special limited partner, Bernard H. Mendik, and 1% to Mendik Corporation until the special limited partner has received his special preferred return (as defined). Thereafter, net cash from operations will be distributed 85% to the limited partners, 14% to the special limited partner and 1% to the general partners. Net proceeds from sales or refinancing will be distributed first to the limited partners until each limited partner has received an 8% cumulative annual return (as defined) and then an additional amount equal to his adjusted capital contribution (as defined). Second, the net proceeds from sale or refinancing will be distributed 99% to the special limited partner and 1% to the Mendik Corporation until the special limited partner has received any shortfall on his special cumulative return (as defined). Third, the net proceeds will be distributed to the general partners until the general partners have received their deferred incentive shares (as defined). Thereafter, net proceeds will be distributed 75% to the limited partners, 20.33% to the special limited partner and 4.67% to the general partners. Liquidating proceeds will be distributed to the Partners in proportion to and to the extent of the positive capital account balances of the Partners. 5. Real Estate Investments The major tenants described below represented 50% of the Partnership's rental income in 1995. See Note 2 for leasing activity. The Park Avenue Property. In 1987, the Partnership indirectly acquired from an affiliate an approximate 60% general partnership interest in a joint venture, Two Park Company, formed in 1986 for the purpose of acquiring and operating a parcel of land located at Two Park Avenue, New York, New York, together with the 28-story office building and related improvements located thereon containing approximately 948,000 net rentable square feet (based on current standards of measurement). The affiliate acquired such interest to facilitate the acquisition by the Partnership. Two Park Company acquired the Park Avenue Property in 1986 from an unaffiliated seller for approximately $151.5 million, $60 million of which was financed by a first mortgage loan. The Partnership acquired its interest by contributing $61,868,264 in cash, and assuming its share of the $60 million loan secured by a first mortgage on the property. The remaining approximate 40% interest in Two Park Company is owned by B & B Park Avenue L.P., of which Mendik Corporation is a general partner. The sole stockholder of the other general partner is also the lender of the mortgages secured by the Park Avenue Property. At December 31, 1995, the property was appraised at $95,000,000, and the appraised value of the property net of the minority interest was $56,715,000. At December 31, 1994, the property was appraised at $105,000,000, and the appraised value of the property net of the minority interest was $62,685,000. The reduction in the appraised value from December 31, 1994 to December 31, 1995 is primarily due to the lease prepayment received from a tenant in the amount of $13,839,000. (See Notes 2 and 6). Major tenants at Two Park Avenue are Times Mirror Magazines, Inc. and its affiliate Newsday, Inc. both of whom assigned their leases to Times Mirror Company Inc. as of October 1, 1995. The Times Mirror Company Inc. leases 271,850 square feet (29% of total leasable area in the property) under a new lease which expires on September 30, 2010 and National Benefit Life Insurance Company which leases 99,839 square feet (11% of total leasable area in the property) under a lease expiring May 30, 1998. National Benefit Life Insurance Company has notified the Partnership that it will vacate its space once the current lease expires. Times Mirror Company and National Benefit Life Insurance Company represented 29% and 13%, respectively, of the property's total rental income in 1995. The 34th Street Property. In 1987, the Partnership acquired the leasehold interest in the 34th Street Property, an eighteen-story structure containing approximately 637,000 net rentable square feet (based on current standards of measurement) from an affiliate of the Partnership. The building was purchased from the affiliate for the purpose of facilitating the acquisition by the Partnership. The purchase price of $35,611,400 consisted of the purchase price to the affiliate plus the acquisition and closing costs and costs associated with carrying the property. The building is situated on a 46,413 square foot site. The parcel of land underlying the 34th Street Property is leased from an unaffiliated third party pursuant to a ground lease with an initial term ending on December 31, 1999 that provided for annual lease payments of $1.25 million through December 31, 1991 and requires annual lease payments of $2.25 million for the remaining eight years. The ground lease may be renewed at the option of the Partnership for successive terms of 21, 30, 30, 30 and 39 years at annual rentals, determined at the commencement of each renewal term, equal to 7% of the then-market value of the land considered as if vacant, unimproved and unencumbered, valued at the highest and best use under then-applicable zoning and other land use regulations as office, hotel or residential property, but in no event less than the higher of (i) $2.75 million or (ii) the base rent for any consecutive 12-month period during the then-preceding renewal term. The property was appraised at $2,700,000 at December 31, 1995. The appraised value at December 31, 1994 was $5,700,000. The major tenant at the 34th Street property is the City of New York which leases 300,000 square feet (47% of the total leasable area in the property) under a lease expiring February 28, 2001. As with substantially all leases with New York City, the tenant has the right to terminate the lease on a floor by floor basis without penalty provided the City gives the Partnership one year's prior notice. However, should it terminate the lease with respect to one or more floors, the City would be required to pay the Partnership for certain improvement costs as defined in the lease. To date, the Partnership has not received any indication that the City intends to terminate any portion of the lease. However, the City has retained a real estate brokerage firm to evaluate its space needs at various locations in New York City, including the 34th Street Property. The Partnership has had preliminary discussions with the brokerage firm in connection with a long-term lease extension of the City's lease. The City represented approximately 90% of the property's total revenue in 1995. The Saxon Woods Corporate Center. In 1986, the Partnership acquired the leasehold interest in Saxon Woods Corporate Center, two office buildings located in Harrison, New York containing an aggregate of approximately 232,000 net rentable square feet (based on current standards of measurement) from an affiliate of the Partnership. The building was purchased from the affiliate for the purpose of facilitating the acquisition by the Partnership. The property was purchased by the affiliate for the purpose of facilitating the acquisition by the Partnership. The purchase price of $21,282,805 was paid from the proceeds of the Partnership's offering and consisted of the purchase price to the affiliate plus the acquisition and closing costs and costs associated with carrying the property. The buildings are situated on a 15.28 acre site which is subject to two ground leases, each of which terminates in September 2027 and provides the lessee with the option to renew for two 25-year periods and one 39-year period. Each ground lease provides for an annual net rental of $170,000 with an increase of $20,000 every five years, commencing January 1996. The property was appraised at $15,200,000 at December 31, 1995, compared to $15,000,000 at December 31, 1994. Major tenants at the Saxon Woods Corporate Center are Commodity Quotations which leases 24,540 square feet (11% of the total leasable area) under leases expiring October 31, 2001 and October 31, 1998. Commodity Quotations has the option to cancel the lease expiring October 31, 2001 at the end of the seventh year, October 23, 1998. Icon Capital Corp. leases 29,040 square feet (13% of the total leasable area) under a lease expiring November 30, 2004. Commodity Quotations and Icon Capital Corp represented approximately 13% and 14%, respectively, of the property's rental income in 1995. The Stamford Property. In 1985, the Partnership acquired the Stamford Property, a ten-story office building containing approximately 220,000 net rentable square feet (based on current standards of measurement) and an attached parking garage located on 1351 Washington Blvd. in Stamford, Connecticut. The purchase price of the property was $31,250,000. The property was transferred to the lender in lieu of a foreclosure sale on December 29, 1994. 6. Mortgage and Notes Payable The Partnership is currently only able to incur additional indebtedness secured by the Saxon Woods Property, as a result of the Borrowing Limitation in the Partnership Agreement. (See Note 2). The Park Avenue Property. The $60,000,000 first mortgage is for a term of twelve years and accrues interest at the rate of 9.75% per annum. Interest only is payable in monthly installments until the maturity date (December 19, 1998) at which time the full amount of principal and any accrued interest shall be due and payable. On June 15, 1989, Two Park Company placed a second mortgage on the Park Avenue Property in the amount of $10,000,000. Interest only was payable in monthly installments at a rate of 10.791% through June 15, 1992 and thereafter at the rate of 10.625% through December 19, 1998 at which time the full amount of principal and any accrued interest would have been due and payable. In November 1995, the Partnership prepaid, without penalty, the $10,000,000 second mortgage from proceeds received from the lease extension with The Times Mirror Company Inc. On December 26, 1990, Two Park Company placed a third mortgage on the Park Avenue Property in the amount of $5,000,000. Interest only is payable in monthly installments at a rate of 11.5% through its maturity date of December 19, 1998 at which time the full amount of principal and any accrued interest shall be due and payable. The lender has the right to accelerate the maturity date of the mortgages (collectively the "Park Avenue Loans") to a date not earlier than December 19, 1996 upon at least 180 days prior notice (June 19, 1996). The Park Avenue Loans are being treated as one loan and at any time upon request of Two Park Company, the lender will combine and consolidate both loans to make a non-recourse first mortgage loan in the principal amount of $65,000,000. The 34th Street Property. On December 12, 1989, the Partnership entered into a loan agreement with First National Bank of Chicago ("FNBC"). The loan provided for a $30,000,000 credit facility in the form of a first mortgage secured by the Partnership's leasehold interest on the 34th Street Property (the "34th Street line of credit"). The lender agreed to advance amounts under the credit facility up to 40% of the lesser of the appraised value of the 34th Street Property or the value thereof as determined by the lender. The credit facility was scheduled to mature on May 31, 1997 and provided the Partnership with the flexibility to draw funds at 110 basis points over the London Interbank offered rate ("LIBOR"), or 110 basis points over FNBC's C.D. rate or at FNBC's prime rate. If the net operating income (as defined) for the property is less than 115% of the projected debt service for the property for any six month period, the lender may increase the interest rate to 125 basis points over LIBOR or 125 basis points over FNBC's C.D. rate. As of December 31, 1992, $15,000,000 had been advanced under the 34th Street line of credit. As a result of the default on the loan (See Note 2) and the decline in the appraised value of the 34th Street Property, the Partnership was prevented from borrowing any additional funds. The Partnership suspended its interest payments to the lender beginning with the September 1992 payment. On August 12, 1993, the Partnership entered into a forbearance agreement which modified the terms of the 34th Street Line of Credit with FNBC. Pursuant to the forbearance agreement, FNBC agreed to forbear through June 30, 1994 from exercising its remedies under the loan agreement as a result of the Partnership's failure to pay interest. The forbearance period was subsequently extended through June 30, 1995. The forbearance agreement allowed the Partnership to pay off the 34th Street Line of Credit for $6 million at any time through June 30, 1995, a substantial discount to the 34th Street Line of Credit's current outstanding balance. Also through June 30, 1995, the Partnership was permitted to make interest payments to FNBC, based upon the Corporate Base Rate or the prime rate beginning March 19, 1993, only to the extent of available cash flow from the 34th Street Property. No interest payments were made by the Partnership during the forbearance periods. In May 1995, the Partnership successfully negotiated an agreement with the FNBC, the property's lender, to reduce the amount needed to pay off the nonrecourse first mortgage secured by the Partnership's leasehold interest in the 34th Street Property (the "34th Street Line of Credit") to $1.75 million compared to the property's outstanding debt balance of approximately $18 million, including accrued interest. Concurrently, an agreement was entered into with an affiliate of NYRES1 to lend the Partnership the $1.75 million unsecured loan needed to complete the payoff of the 34th Street Line of Credit prior to June 30, 1995 (the "NYRES1 Loan"). FNBC's agreement to accept only $1.75 million in full satisfaction of the 34th Street Line of Credit effectively meant that substantially all of the outstanding principal balance of the loan was forgiven by FNBC. On June 26, 1995, the Partnership completed the payoff of the 34th Street Line of Credit. As a result of the payoff, the Partnership retained its interest in the property and will have the opportunity to benefit from any improvement in the market. The NYRES1 Loan bears interest at the prime rate less one and one-quarter percent. Payments of accrued interest and principal will be payable on a current basis to the extent there is net cash flow available from the 34th Street property. To the extent that interest has not been paid on a current basis from the property's cash flow, any net proceeds realized from the conveyance or refinancing of the 34th Street Property or any of the Partnership's other properties will be used to pay accrued interest and principal on the loan. The NYRES1 Loan matures upon the earlier of December 31, 2025 or the termination of the Partnership. In connection with the NYRES1 Loan, Mendik Realty Company, Inc., an affiliate of Mendik Corporation, agreed to continue to defer its management fees and leasing commissions associated with any additional leasing activity that would otherwise have been payable with respect to the property. The Saxon Woods Corporate Center. In September 1991, the Partnership established a non-recourse line of credit of $6,500,000 (the "Saxon Woods line of credit") secured by the Partnership s leasehold interest in the property located at 550/600 Mamaroneck Avenue, Harrison, New York (the "Saxon Woods Property"). The Saxon Woods line of credit has a term of five (5) years, is secured by a first leasehold mortgage on the Saxon Woods Property and generally bears interest at the rate of 2.5% per annum in excess of LIBOR. The average interest rate for 1995 was 8.4375% at December 31, 1995. In addition, the Partnership is required to pay 1/2% per annum on the undrawn balance of the Saxon Woods line of credit. As additional security for the repayment of the Saxon Woods line of credit, the Partnership deposited $500,000 with the lender, which deposit was used by the Partnership to pay operating expenses in connection with the Saxon Woods Property prior to borrowing any sums under the Saxon Woods line of credit for operating expenses. The Saxon Woods line of credit provides the Partnership with a source of funds to pay for those improvements necessary to lease additional space at the property. In order to reduce the need for additional borrowings under the Saxon Woods line of credit, the Partnership has agreed to use all available cash flow from the Saxon Woods Property (which cash flow has been pledged to the lender) for all expenses incurred at the Saxon Woods Property prior to borrowing any additional funds under the Saxon Woods line of credit. Based on the current appraised value of the Saxon Woods Property, only $6,080,000 of the Saxon Woods line of credit is available to the Partnership due to the Borrowing Limitation. The Partnership believes that the Saxon Woods line of credit will provide the Partnership with a source of funds which should be sufficient to pay for those improvements necessary to lease certain additional space at the property. As of December 31, 1995, the Partnership had borrowed $5,044,524 under the Saxon Woods line of credit. The Partnership expects that additional leasing activity, the costs of which will be covered by borrowings from the Saxon Woods Line of Credit and operating cash flow, may result in a further increase in the appraised value of the property thereby enabling the Partnership to borrow the additional amounts available under the Saxon Woods Line of Credit up to the full amount of $6,500,000. The Partnership has the option to request an updated appraisal at any time; however, there can be no assurance that subsequent appraised values for the Property will continue to increase. The Stamford Property. The $12,500,000 non-recourse first mortgage loan was for a term of ten years and accrued interest at the rate of 10% per annum through December 10, 1993 and 10.3% thereafter. The Partnership failed to make full payment of debt service due commencing February 10, 1994 with respect to the Stamford Loan as discussed in Note 2. As a result, the Partnership was in default under the terms of the Stamford Loan. The Partnership was unable to secure a loan modification, and title to the property was transferred to the lender on December 29, 1994 in lieu of a foreclosure sale, resulting in the loss of the Partnership's investment in the property. Pursuant to a loan modification agreement on the Stamford Property, Mendik Corporation and NYRES1 agreed to lend the Partnership $50,000 and $110,000, respectively, in each of calendar years 1991, 1992 and 1993. Principal and interest is payable on December 31, 2025, or upon termination of the Partnership if earlier, subject to a mandatory prepayment from the net proceeds from the sale of any properties, after repayment of all debt secured by the property sold. Mortgages payable at December 31, 1995 and 1994 are summarized as follows: 1995 1994 Secured by Park Avenue Property, bearing interest at a blended rate of 10.02% in 1995 and 10.159% in 1994 $65,000,000 $75,000,000 Secured by 34th Street Property, bearing interest at a blended rate of 7.245% in 1994. --- 15,000,000 Secured by Saxon Wood Corporate Center, bearing interest at a blended rate of 8.87% in 1995 and 7.139% in 1994 5,044,524 4,680,836 $70,044,524 $94,680,836 Notes payable at December 31, 1995 and 1994 are summarized as follows: 1995 1994 Note payable to an affiliate of NYRES1, unsecured, bearing interest at prime rate less 1.25% 1,750,000 --- Note payable to NYRES1, unsecured, bearing interest at prime rate less 1.25% 330,000 330,000 Note payable to Mendik Corporation, unsecured, bearing interest at prime rate less 1.25% 150,000 150,000 $2,230,000 $480,000 The following summarizes the scheduled maturities of the Partnership's mortgages and notes payable: Year Amount 1996 $5,044,524 1997 --- 1998 65,000,000 Thereafter 2,230,000 $72,274,524 In November 1995, the Partnership prepaid, without penalty, $10,000,000 of the outstanding mortgages on the Two Park Avenue property from proceeds received from the lease extension with Times Mirror Magazines Inc. and its affiliate, Newsday, Inc. The remaining mortgages mature on December 19, 1998 and require monthly payments of interest only, with the entire principal due at maturity. If the Park Avenue Lender were to exercise its option to accelerate the scheduled maturity date of its loans to the earliest possible permitted date, then the amounts due in 1996 in the above table would be $70,044,524. Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Partnership for mortgage loans with similar average maturities, the fair value of long-term debt approximates carrying value. 7. Rental Income Under Operating Leases Based upon the leases currently in effect, future minimum rental payments from operating leases of the Partnership's properties (which are not cancellable by their terms) as of December 31, 1995 are as follows: Year Amount 1996 $ 24,711,418 1997 25,356,634 1998 23,368,812 1999 20,417,722 2000 19,222,107 Thereafter 133,515,351 $246,592,044 In addition to the minimum rental amounts, substantially all of the leases provide for escalation charges to tenants for operating costs, real estate taxes and electricity. For the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993, these amounts were $2,712,976, $3,282,904, and $3,524,411, respectively, which amounts are included in rental income. 8.
