Notes To Condensed Financial Statements (unaudited)

Note A Organization and Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position of Registrant as of March 31, 2005, its results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, and its changes in members' deficiency for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Information included in the condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2004 has been derived from the audited balance sheet included in Registrant's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 (the "10-K") previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Pursuant to rules and regulations of the SEC, certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted from these financial statements unless signific ant changes have taken place since the end of the most recent fiscal year. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, notes to financial statements and the other information in the 10-K. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Note B Interim Period Reporting

Registrant is a New York limited liability company which was organized as a joint venture on May 25, 1953. On September 30, 1953, Registrant acquired fee title to the "Fisk Building" (the "Building") and the land thereunder located at 250-264 West 57th Street, New York, New York (collectively, the "Property"). On November 30, 2001, Registrant converted to a limited liability company under New York law and is now known as 250 West 57^th St. Associates L.L.C. The conversion does not change any aspect of the assets and operations of Registrant other than to protect its participants from liability to a third party. Registrant's members are Peter L. Malkin and Anthony E. Malkin (collectively the "Agents"), each of whom also acts as an agent for holders of participations in his respective member interests in Registrant (the "Participants").

Registrant leases the Property to Fisk Building Associates L.L.C. (the "Net Lessee"), under a long-term net operating lease (the "Net Lease"), the current term of which expires on September 30, 2028. Net Lessee is a New York limited liability company, and entities created by Peter L. Malkin for family members are beneficial owners of interests in the Net Lessee. In addition, the Agents hold senior positions at Wien & Malkin LLP, 60 East 42nd Street, New York, New York, which provides supervisory and other services to Registrant and Net Lessee ("Supervisor"). See Note C of this Item 1.

Under the Net Lease, effective May 1, 1975, between Registrant and the Net Lessee, basic rent was equal to mortgage principal and interest payments plus $28,000 payable to Wien & Malkin LLP for supervisory services. The lease modification dated November 17, 2000 between Registrant and Net Lessee provides that the basic rent will be equal to the sum of $28,000 plus the installment payments for interest and amortization (not including any balloon payment due at maturity) required annually under the new $3015,500,000 first mortgage loan (the "First Mortgage") from Prudential Insurance CompanyEmigrant Savings Bank. Basic rent is payable in monthly installments on the first day of each calendar month in an amount equal to $2,333.33 plus the projected debt service due on the First Mortgage on the first day of the ensuing calendar month (with a reconciliation to be made as soon as practicable thereafter). Basic rent shall be adjusted on a dollar-for-dollar basis by changes in the a nnual debt service on the First Mortgage.

Net Lessee is required to make a monthly payment to Registrant, as an advance against Primary Overage Rent, of an amount equal to its operating profit for its previous lease year in the maximum amount of $752,000 per annum. Net Lessee currently advances $752,000 each year, which permits Registrant to make regular monthly distributions at 20% per annum on the Participants' remaining original cash investment.

For the lease year ended September 30, 2004, Net Lessee reported net operating profit of $3,507,583 after deduction of Basic Rent. Net Lessee paid Primary Overage Rent of $752,000, together with Secondary Overage Rent of $1,353,749 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004. The Secondary Overage Rent of $1,353,749 represents 50% of the excess of the net operating profit of $3,507,583 over $752,000, less $24,042 representing interest earned and retained by Registrant on funds borrowed for the improvement program. Secondary overage rent payable of $1,353,749 plus $24,042 of interest income was available for distribution to the Pparticipants. After deducting $135,729 incurred to Supervisor as an additional payment for supervisory services, $20,000 for advances of New York State estimated tax paid on behalf of non-resident individual Pparticipants and annual New York State limited liability company filing fees of $500, the balance of $1,221,562 was distributed to the Participants on Nove mber 30, 2004.

Secondary Overage Rent income is recognized when earned from Net Lessee, at the close of the lease year ending September 30. Such income is not determinable until Net Lessee, pursuant to the Net Lease, renders to Registrant a report on the Net Lessee's operation of the Property. The Net Lease does not provide for the Net Lessee to render interim reports to Registrant, so no income is reflected for the period between the end of the lease year and the end of Registrant's fiscal year.

The Net Lessee has exercised its option to renew the Net Lease for a period of 25 years from October 1, 2003 through September 30, 2028. The Participants in Registrant have consented to the granting of options to the Net Lessee to extend the Net Lease for three additional 25-year renewal terms on or before the expiration of the then applicable renewal term.

Effective November 17, 2000, a new first mortgage was placed on the Property with Emigrant Savings Bank in the amount of $15,500,000. The First Mortgage matures on December 1, 2005. At the closing, the amount of $7,000,000 was advanced to pay off the existing first and second mortgages held by Apple Bank for Savings and to pay for closing and related costs and the costs of improvements made to the Property. During 2002, an additional $5,000,000 was advanced. The balance of the First Mortgage loan was advanced in stages through May 31, 2003 to pay for additional improvements to the Property.

Monthly payments under the mortgage are interest only until December 1, 2005, when the outstanding principal balance is due. Amounts advanced at the closing bore interest at the rate of 7.511% throughout the term of the mortgage until June 1, 2003. Amounts advanced after the closing bore interest at a floating rate equal to 1.65 percentage points above 30, 60, 90, 180 or 360 day LIBOR or the yield on 30-day U.S. Treasury Securities, as selected by Associates.

On June 1, 2003 the interest rate on all amounts advanced following the closing was converted to a fixed rate of 3.12% equal to 1.65 percentage points above the then-current yield on U.S. Treasury Securities having the closest maturity to December 1, 2005.

The mortgage may be prepaid at any time, in whole only, upon payment of a prepayment penalty based on a yield maintenance formula. There will be no prepayment penalty if the mortgage is paid in full during the last 90 days of the term. thereof.

On December 29, 2004, a second mortgage was placed on the property in the amount of $30,500,000 with Prudential Insurance Company of America. At closing, $3,000,000 was drawn down and an additional $1,300,000 was drawn down during the first quarter of 2005. These draw downs and subsequent draw downs will pay off the first mortgage on December 1, 2005 and future capital improvements as needed. The initial drawdown of $3,000,000 and all subsequent draw downs require constant equal monthly payments totaling $1,625,650 per annum for interest only, at the rate of 5.33% per annum until August 5, 2007. On September 5, 2007, equal monthly payments totaling $2,200,780 per annum are required to be applied to interest and principal calculated on a twenty-five year amortization schedule. The mortgage matures on December 5, 2014. The mortgage may be prepaid at any time, in whole only, upon payment of a prepayment penalty based on a yield maintenance formula. There will be no prepayment penalty if the mortgage is paid in full during the last 90 days of the term.

Note C Supervisory Services

Registrant pays Supervisor for supervisory services and disbursements. Supervisor receives as compensation an annual fee of $40,000, payable in equal monthly installments ("Basic Payment"), and 10% of all distributions to Participants in any year in excess of the amount representing a return to them at the rate of 15% per annum on their remaining cash investment ("Additional Fee"). At March 31, 2005, the Participants' remaining cash investment was $3,600,000. Supervisor receives $20,000 a year as an advance against the Additional Fee, which Registrant expenses each month. Of the annual $40,000 Basic Payment, $28,000 is paid from Basic Rent and $12,000 is paid from Primary Overage Rent received by Registrant. Any Additional Fee is payable from Secondary Overage Rent.

The supervisory services provided to Registrant by Supervisor include, but are not limited to, providing or coordinating counsel services to Registrant, maintaining all of its entity and Participant records, performing physical inspections of the Building, reviewing insurance coverage, conducting annual supervisory review meetings, receipt of monthly rent from Net Lessee, payment of monthly and additional distributions to the Participants, payment of all other disbursements, confirmation of the payment of real estate taxes, and active review of financial statements submitted to Registrant by Net Lessee and financial statements audited by and tax information prepared by Registrant's independent certified public accountant, and distribution of such materials to the Participants. Supervisor also prepares quarterly, annual and other periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and applicable state authorities.

Registrant also pays Supervisor for other services at hourly rates. No remuneration was paid during the threenine month period ended March 31, 2005 by Registrant to either of the Members as such.

Reference is made to Note B of Item 1 ("Note B") for a description of the terms of the Net Lease between Registrant and Net Lessee. The respective interests, if any, of each Member in Registrant and in Net Lessee arise solely from ownership of participations in Registrant and membershippartnership interests or participations in Net Lessee. The Members receive no extra or special benefit not shared on a pro rata basis with all other Participants in Registrant or memberspartners in Net Lessee. However, all of the Members hold senior positions at Supervisor and may, by reason of their positions at Supervisor, receive income attributable to supervisory or other remuneration paid to Supervisor for services rendered to Registrant and Net Lessee.

The Members in Registrant do not hold any Participations in their individual capacities.

As of March 31, 2005 , certain of the Members in Registrant held Participations as follows:

Entities for the benefit of members of Peter L. Malkin's family owned of record and beneficially $88,333 of Participations. Peter L. Malkin disclaims any beneficial ownership of such Participations, except that such Trusts are required to complete scheduled payments to Peter L. Malkin.

Peter L. Malkin owned of record as trustee, but not beneficially, $10,000 of Participations. Peter L. Malkin disclaims any beneficial ownership of such Participations.

Anthony E. Malkin owned of record as trustee, but not beneficially, $8,333 of Participations. Anthony E. Malkin disclaims any beneficial ownership of such Participations.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Forward Looking Statements

Readers of this discussion are advised that the discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of Registrant (including related notes thereto) appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. Certain statements in this discussion may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements reflect Registrant's current expectations regarding future results of operations, economic performance, financial condition and achievements of Registrant, and do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Registrant has tried, wherever possible, to identify these forward-looking statements by using words such as "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "intend", "plan", "estimate" or words of similar meaning.

Although Registrant believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, which may cause the actual results to differ materially from those projected. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the following: general economic and business conditions, which will, among other things, affect demand for rental space, the availability of prospective tenants, lease rents and the availability of financing; adverse changes in Registrant's real estate market, including, among other things, competition with other real estate owners, risks of real estate development and acquisitions; governmental actions and initiatives; and environmental/safety requirements.

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Registrant was organized for the purpose of owning the Property subject to a net operating lease of the Property held by Net Lessee. Registrant is required to pay, from Basic Rent, the charges on the First Mortgage and amounts for supervisory services, and then to distribute the balance of such Basic Rent to holders of Participations. See Note C. Pursuant to the Net Lease, Net Lessee has assumed sole responsibility for the condition, operation, repair, maintenance and management of the Property.

Registrant's results of operations are affected primarily by the amount of rent payable to it under the Net Lease. The amounts of Primary Overage Rent and Secondary Overage Rent are affected by the New York City economy and its real estate market. It is difficult to forecast the New York City economy and real estate market.

Registrant does not pay dividends. During the threenine month period ended March 31, 2005September 30, 2004, Registrant made regular monthly distributions of $83.33 for each $5,000 participation ($1,000 per annum for each $5,000 participation). On November 30, 2004, Registrant made an additional distribution of $1,696.61 for each $5,000 participation. Such distribution represented the balance of Secondary Overage Rent paid by Net Lessee in accordance with the terms of the Net Lease after deducting the Additional Payment to Supervisor and a reserve for advances of New York State estimated taxes for non-resident participants and annual New York State Limited Liability Company filing fees. See Notes B and C. There are no restrictions on Registrant's present or future ability to make distributions; however, the amount of such distributions depends on the ability of Net Lessee to make monthly payments of Basic Rent, Primary Overage Rent and Secondary Overage Rent to Registrant in accordance with the terms of the Net Lease. Registrant expects to make distributions so long as it receives the payments provided for under the Net Lease. See Note B.

The following summarizes, with respect to the current period and corresponding period of the previous year, the material factors affecting Registrant's results of operations for such periods:

Total income indecreased for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005, as compared with the three-month period ended March 31, 2004. Such indecrease was the net result of an increase in Basic Rent received from the Net Lessee and, a decrease in secondary additional rent, an increase in dividend income and a decrease in interest income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005, as compared with the three-month period ended March 31, 2004.

Total expenses indecreased for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005, as compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2004. Such indecrease was the net result of an increase in interest on the mortgage, a decrease in the additional supervisory fee and an increase in depreciation of building improvements, amortization of refinancing costs, leasing commissions and miscellaneous expense for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005, as compared with the three-month period ended March 31, 2004.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Registrant's liquidity has changeddecreased significantly at March 31, 2005, as compared with March 31, 2004 as the result of a reclassifying the first mortgage payable which matures on December 1, 2005 as a current liability.xxxxxxxxxxxxx. A draw down of $15,900,000 will be made on the second mortgage on September 5, 2005, which includes $15,500,000 to fully repay the first mortgage. Costs relating to the improvement program are funded from proceeds of the first and second mortgages of $46,000,000, of which $198,8500,000 has been drawn at March 31, 2005. Registrant may from time to time establish a reserve for contingent or unforeseen liabilities.

ANo amortization payments are due under the SecondFirst Mortgage commencing September 5, 2007, calculated on a twenty-five year amortization schedule.to fully satisfy the outstanding principal balance at maturity, and furthermore, The second mortgage matures on December 5, 2014 and Registrant does not maintain any reserve to cover the payment of such Mortgage indebtedness at maturity. Therefore, repayment of the Mortgage will depend on Registrant's ability to arrange a refinancing. Assuming that the Property continues to generate an annual net profit in future years comparable to that in past years, and assuming further that current real estate trends continue in the geographic area in which the Property is located, Registrant anticipates that the value of the Property would be well in excess of the amount of the Mortgage balance at maturity.

Registrant anticipates that funds for working capital for the Property will be provided by rental payments received from the Net Lessee and, to the extent necessary, from additional capital investment by the members in the Net Lessee and/or external financing.

Inflation

Registrant believes that there has been no material change in the impact of inflation on its operations since the filing of its report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

1. Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. The person(s) who functions in the capacity of Registrant's chief executive officer and Registrant's chief financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of Registrant's "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period have concluded that Registrant's disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and designed to ensure that material information relating to Registrant would be made known to them by others within those entities on a timely basis.
2. Changes in internal controls over financial reporting. There were no changes in Registrant's internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, the Registrant's internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

The Property of Registrant ("Associates") is the subject of the following pending litigation:

Wien & Malkin LLP and Peter L. Malkin, a member in Registrantof Net Lessee, have been engaged in a proceeding with Helmsley-Spear, Inc. commenced in 1997, concerning the management, leasing and supervision of the property in which Wien & Malkin and Mr. Malkin have sought an order removing Helmsley-Spear. In this connection, certain costs for legal and professional fees and other expenses have been paid and incurred by Wien & Malkin and Mr. Malkin, and additional costs are expected to be incurred. Wien & Malkin and Mr. Malkin have represented that such costs will be recovered only to the extent that (a) a competent tribunal authorizes payment by Associates or (b) an investor voluntarily agrees that his or her proportionate share be paid. Accordingly, Registrant'sAssociates' allocable share of such costs is as yet undetermined, and Registrant Associates has not provided for the expense and related liability with respect to such costs in these financial statements.

The original action was commenced in June 1997 and was referred to arbitration. The March 30, 2001 decision of the Arbitrators, which was confirmed by the court, (i) reaffirms the right of the investors in Net Lessee to vote to terminate Helmsley-Spear without cause, (ii) dismisses Helmsley-Spear's claims against Wien & Malkin and Peter L. Malkin, and (iii) rejects the termination of Helmsley-Spear for cause. The parts of the decision under appeal were initially affirmed by the Appellate Division, and the New York Court of Appeals declined to review such ruling. On October 6, 2003, the United States Supreme Court granted Wien & Malkin's petition, vacated the judgment of the Appellate Division, and remanded the case to the New York court for further consideration of the issues raised by Wien & Malkin's appeal. On October 14, 2004, the Appellate Division issued a unanimous decision reversing the Arbitrators. The Appellate Division decided (i) that there was a covert assignment without Net Lessee's knowledge or consent and (ii) that the corporation controlled by Irving Schneider and now named "Helmsley-Spear," which has represented itself to be Net Lessee's managing agent since September 1997, in fact never received a valid assignment to become Net Lessee's managing agent. Net Lessee's previously authorized managing agent, the original corporation named "Helmsley-Spear," was owned by Harry B. Helmsley and is no longer active. On May 10, 2005, Helmsley-Spear was granted leave to appeal the Appellate Division's decision, and such decision is stayed pending appeal.

The Appellate Division's decision is being reviewed with counsel for appropriate further action.

In January 1998, Irving Schneider, who is one of the controlling principals of Helmsley-Spear and is a 5% member of Net Lessee, brought litigation against Net Lessee's supervisor, Wien & Malkin, and member, Peter L. Malkin, claiming misconduct and seeking damages and disqualification from performing services for Net Lessee. In March 2002, the court dismissed Mr. Schneider's claims. Mr. Schneider has appealed this dismissal. Wien & Malkin and Mr. Malkin are defending against these claims.

At Net Lessee's May 20, 2002 special meeting, a vote of the investors was conducted on proposals for the removal without cause of Helmsley-Spear as managing and leasing agent and its replacement by a designated independent firm, including payment by Net Lessee of the expenses for the preparation of the solicitation statement, the solicitation of votes, and the implementation of the new program. On May 21, 2002, the proponents of the proposals, Peter L. Malkin and Wien & Malkin, filed a court application to determine and confirm all investors' votes for removal without cause and replacement and to set the final date for Helmsley-Spear's termination. After Helmsley-Spear filed objections, the court confirmed such votes and ruled that Helmsley-Spear has been discharged. Helmsley-Spear's subsequent appeals since September 2002 have been denied, and the proponents believe the time has expired for further Helmsley-Spear appeal, so that the court's confirmation of the May 20, 2002 vote to replace Helmsley-Spear may now be considered final. Helmsley-Spear has indicated it believes it has further appeal rights but has not to date filed any further appeal. Since November 20, 2002, Helmsley-Spear has not been the managing and leasing agent and has been replaced by Cushman & Wakefield.

In accord with Net Lessee's May 20, 2002 vote, the expenses for the preparation of the solicitation statement, the solicitation of votes and the implementation of the new program are being paid by Net Lessee. Such payments have totaled $290,179 (including fees of $75,000 plus disbursements of $11,077 to Wien & Malkin), and have been included in other professional fees in the years 2002, 2003 and 2004 as applicable.

April 29, 2005

To Participants in 250 West 57^th St. Associates L.L.C.

Federal Identification Number 13-6083380

We enclose the annual report of 250 West 57^th St. Associates L.L.C. ("Associates") for the year ended December 31, 2004. Associates, which is treated as a partnership for income tax purposes, owns the Fisk Building at 250 West 57^th Street, New York City. Associates' annual report on Form 10-K for the year 2004 has been filed with the SEC and is available on its website at www.sec.gov. Historical and more detailed information can be found in our 10-K.

The reported income for 2004 was $1,464,767. This was less than distributions of $1,941,562, representing current monthly distributions totaling $720,000 per annum and the additional distribution of $1,221,562, which was paid to participants on November 30, 2004. The difference results primarily from depreciation of building improvements and amortization of mortgage refinancing costs and leasing commissions.

Since the inception of this investment, a portion of the distributions has constituted a return of capital, and has not been reportable as income. As a result, the book value on December 31, 2004 of an original cash investment of $10,000 was a deficit balance of $5,504.

Additional rent for the lease year ended September 30, 2004 was $2,129,791 (including $24,042 of interest earned and retained on funds borrowed for the improvement program) or an excess of $1,377,791 over advances of $752,000 by the lessee against additional rent ($720,000 to participants, $32,000 to Wien & Malkin LLP). As approved by the participants, Wien & Malkin LLP receives an additional payment for supervisory services of 10% of distributions in excess of 15% per annum on the original cash investment of $3,600,000. After deducting $20,000 for reserves and $500 for the annual New York State 2005 LLC filing fees, $1,357,291 was available for distribution. Accordingly, Wien & Malkin LLP received $135,729 of the additional rent and the balance of $1,221,562 was distributed to the participants on November 30, 2004. The additional distribution of $1,221,562 represented an annual return of about 33.9% on the original cash investment of $3,600,000. Regular monthly di stributions are at the rate of 20% per annum on the cash investment so that total distributions for the year ended December 31, 2004 were about 53.9% on the original cash investment.

Schedule K-1 forms (Form 1065), containing 2004 tax information, were mailed to the participants on April 1, 2005.

If you have any question about the enclosed material, please communicate with our office.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Participants in

250 West 57^th Street Associates L.L.C. (a limited liability company)

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of 250 West 57^th Street Associates L.L.C. as of December 31, 2004, and the related statements of income, members' deficiency and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of Associates' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of 250 West 57^th Street Associates L.L.C. at December 31, 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2004

1. Business Activity and Reorganization

250 West 57th Street Associates L.L.C. ("Associates") is a New York State limited liability entity which owns commercial property at 250 West 57^th Street in New York City. The property is net leased to Fisk Building Associates L.L.C. (the "Lessee").

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include investments in money market funds and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less when acquired.

Use of estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Land, buildings, building improvements and depreciation

Land, buildings and building improvements are stated at cost. The building and building improvements costing $688,000 have been fully depreciated.

In connection with the building improvements program which began in 1999 (see Note 3), costs totaling $15,047,040 at December 31, 2004 have been incurred for new building improvements which have been put into service. These assets are depreciated on the straight-line method by annual charges to operations calculated to absorb the cost of assets over their estimated lives.

Mortgage refinancing costs and amortization

Mortgage refinancing costs are being amortized ratably over the respective terms of the first and second mortgages.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Revenue Recognition

Basic rental income, as defined in a long-term lease, is equal to the current mortgage requirements for interest and amortization plus a fixed amount. Associates records basic rental income as earned on a monthly basis. Primary additional rent represents the lesser of a base amount or the net profits of the lessee as defined and is recorded ratably over the twelve month period. Secondary additional rent is based on the net profits of the lessee and is recorded by Associates when such amounts become determinable.

3. Mortgages Payable

Effective November 17, 2000, Associates obtained a new mortgage payable with Emigrant Savings Bank in the amount of $15,500,000. At the closing, Associates was advanced $7,000,000 to pay off the existing first and second mortgages payable, closing and related costs and the costs of improvements made to the building. During 2002 Associates was advanced an additional $5,000,000 to pay for the cost of additional building improvements. Through May 2003, Associates was advanced the remaining $3,500,000 which was placed in a money market account and was used for additional building improvements.

Monthly payments under the mortgage payable are interest only until December 1, 2005, when the entire outstanding principal balance is due. Amounts advanced at the closing bear interest at the rate of 7.511% per annum throughout the term of the mortgage payable. Amounts advanced after the closing bear interest at a floating rate equal to 1.65 percentage points above the 30, 60, 90, 180 or 360 day LIBOR or the yield on 30-day U.S. Treasury Securities, as selected by Associates. On June 1, 2003 the interest rate on all amounts advanced following the closing were converted to a fixed rate equal to 1.65 percentage points above the then-current yield on U.S. Treasury Securities having the closest maturity to December 1, 2005, which was 3.12% per annum. The mortgage may be prepaid at any time, in whole only, upon payment of a prepayment penalty based on a yield maintenance formula. There will be no prepayment penalty if the mortgage is paid in full during the last 90 days of the term.

On December 29, 2004 a second mortgage was placed on the property in the amount of $30,500,000 with Prudential Insurance Company of America. At closing, $3,000,000 was drawn down and subsequent drawdowns will pay off the first mortgage on December 1, 2005

and future capital improvements as needed. The initial drawdown of $3,000,000 and all subsequent drawdowns require constant equal monthly payments totaling $1,625,650 per

annum for interest only, at the rate of 5.33% per annum until August 5, 2007. On September 5, 2007 equal monthly payments totaling $2,200,780 per annum are required to be applied to interest and principal calculated on a twenty-five year amortization schedule. The mortgage matures on December 5, 2014.

The mortgage may be prepaid at any time, in whole only, upon payment of a prepayment penalty based on a yield maintenance formula. There will be no prepayment penalty if the mortgage is paid in full during the last 90 days of the term.

The following is a schedule of future minimum principal payments in each of the five years subsequent to December 31, 2004:

Year ending

December 31,

2005 $15,500,000

2006 -

2007 183,893

2008 572,044

2009 608,395

The real estate is pledged as collateral for the first mortgage.

The estimated fair market value of Associates' mortgage debt based on the available market information is $15,641,000 for the first mortgage and $3,000,000 for the second mortgage as of December 31, 2004.

4. Rent Income

The lease modification, effective October 1, 1984, provides for a renewal term of 25 years from October 1, 2003 through September 30, 2028. The participants in Associates have consented to the granting of options to the Lessee to extend the lease for three additional 25 year renewal terms. There is no change in the terms of the lease during the renewal periods.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

DECEMBER 31, 2004

4. Rent Income (continued)

Basic rent income is equal to the sum of $28,000, payable monthly to Wien & Malkin LLP ("Wien & Malkin") for supervisory services, plus the installment payments for interest and amortization (not including any balloon principal payment due at maturity) required annually

under the $30,500,000 first mortgage. Basic rent income shall be adjusted on a dollar-for-

dollar basis by changes in the annual debt service on the mortgage payable.

Primary additional rent income is equal to the lesser of $752,000 per annum or the net operating profit of the Lessee, as defined in the lease modification, after deduction of basic rent. Advances against primary additional rent income are paid by the Lessee based on its net operating profit for the prior year, up to a maximum amount of $752,000. Primary additional rent income for the lease years ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 was $752,000 in each year.

Advances against primary additional rent income of $752,000 per annum for the lease year

ending September 30, 2005 are currently being paid. No other additional rent income is accrued by Associates for the period between the end of the lease year ending September 30 and the Associates' calendar year ending December 31. Primary additional rent income is included in additional rent income in the accompanying financial statements.

Secondary additional rent income is equal to 50% of the net operating profit of the Lessee, as defined, after payment of basic rent income and primary additional rent income for lease years ending September 30. Secondary additional rent income for the lease year ended September 30, 2004 was $1,353,749 and is included in additional rent income in the accompanying financial statements.

5. Related Party Transactions

(a) Rent Income

All rent income is received by Associates from the Lessee, a related party, some of whose members are also members in Associates. Beneficial interests in the Lessee are held by one or more persons at Wien & Malkin, their family members and/or trusts, limited liability companies or similar entities owned for their family members.

(b) Supervisory and Other Services

Supervisory and other services are provided to Associates by Wien & Malkin, a related party in which Peter L. Malkin, a member in Associates, has an interest. Beneficial interests in

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

DECEMBER 31, 2004

5. Related Party Transactions (continued)

Associates are held by one or more persons at Wien & Malkin, their family members and/or trusts, limited liability companies or similar entities owned for their family members. Wien & Malkin receives an additional fee equal to 10% of all distributions received by the participants

in excess of 15% per annum on the initial cash investment of $3,600,000.

For the year ended December 31, 2004 Wien & Malkin received the following from Associates:

Basic supervisory services $ 40,000

Additional supervisory services 155,729

Other services 148,867

$ 344,596

Of the $148,867 in other services, $52,103 are included in professional fees and $96,764 were capitalized in connection with the mortgage refinancing.

6. Income Taxes

Net income is computed without regard to income tax expense since Associates does not pay a tax on its income; instead, any such taxes are paid by the participants in their individual capacities.

7. Concentration of Credit Risk

Associates maintain cash balances with two banks and a money market fund (Fidelity U.S. Treasury Income Portfolio). The bank balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. up to $100,000 each. At December 31, 2004 Associates had balances of approximately $63,000 that were not insured. The distribution account held by Wien & Malkin and the Fidelity U.S. Treasury Income Portfolio are not insured. The funds held in the distribution account were paid to the participants on January 1, 2005. Funds held by Associates are placed in high quality institutions in order to minimize the risk.

8. Contingencies

Wien & Malkin and Peter L. Malkin, a member in Associates, have been engaged in a

250 WEST 57TH STREET ASSOCIATES L.L.C.

(A Limited Liability Company)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

DECEMBER 31, 2004

8. Contingencies (continued)

proceeding with Helmsley-Spear, Inc. which commenced in 1997 concerning the management, leasing and supervision of the property subject to the net lease, in which Wien & Malkin and Mr. Malkin have sought an order removing Helmsley-Spear. In this connection, certain costs for legal and professional fees and other expenses have been paid and incurred by Wien & Malkin and Mr. Malkin and additional costs are expected to be incurred. Wien & Malkin and Mr. Malkin have represented that such costs will be recovered only to the extent that (a) a competent competent tribunal authorizes payment or (b) an investor voluntarily agrees that his or her proportionate share be paid. Accordingly, Associates' allocable share of such costs is as yet undetermined, and Associates has not provided for the expense and related liability with respect to such costs in these financial statements.

The original action was commenced in June 1997 and was referred to arbitration. The March 30, 2001 decision of the Arbitrators, which was confirmed by the court, (i) reaffirms the right of the investors in the Lessee to vote to terminate Helmsley-Spear, Inc. without cause, (ii) dismisses Helmsley-Spear's claims against Wien & Malkin and Peter L. Malkin, and (iii) rejects the termination of Helmsley-Spear, Inc. for cause. The parts of the decision under appeal were initially affirmed by the Appellate Division, and the New York Court of Appeals declined to review such ruling. On October 6, 2003, the United States Supreme Court granted Wien & Malkin's petition, vacated the judgment of the Appellate Division and remanded the case to the New York court for further consideration of the issues raised by Wien & Malkin's appeal.

On October 14, 2004, the Appellate Division issued a unanimous decision reversing the Arbitrators. The Appellate Division decided (i) that there was a covert assignment without Lessee's knowledge or consent and (ii) that the corporation controlled by Irving Schneider and now named "Helmsley-Spear," which has represented itself to be Lessee's managing agent since September 1997, in fact never received a valid assignment to become Lessee's managing agent. Lessee's previously authorized managing agent, the original corporation named "Helmsley-Spear," was owned by Harry B. Helmsley and is no longer active. Helmsley-Spear has requested leave to appeal the Appellate Division's decision.

In January 1998, Irving Schneider, who is one of the controlling principals of Helmsley-Spear, and is a 5% member in Lessee, brought litigation against Associates' supervisor, Wien & Malkin and Peter L. Malkin (or his affiliate), claiming misconduct and seeking damages and disqualification from performing services for the Lessee. In March 2002, the court dismissed Mr. Schneider's claims. Mr. Schneider has appealed this dismissal. Wien & Malkin and Mr.

Malkin are defending against these claims.

At the Lessee's May 20, 2002 special meeting, a vote of the investors was conducted on proposals for the removal without cause of Helmsley-Spear as managing and leasing agent and its replacement by a designated independent firm, including payment by the Lessee of the expenses for the preparation of the solicitation statement, the solicitation of votes, and the implementation of the new program. On May 21, 2002, the proponents of the proposals, Peter L. Malkin and Wien & Malkin, filed a court application to determine and confirm all investors' votes for removal without cause and replacement and to set the final date for Helmsley-Spear's termination. Helmsley-Spear filed objections, and on September 10, 2002 the court confirmed such votes and ruled that Helmsley-Spear has been discharged. Helmsley-Spear's subsequent appeals since September 2002 have been denied, and the proponents believe the time has expired for further Helmlsey-Spear appeal, so that the court's confirmation of the Ma y 20, 2002 vote to replace Helmsley-Spear may now be considered final. Helmsley-Spear has indicated it believes it has further appeal rights but has not to date filed any further appeal. Since November 20, 2002, Helmsley-Spear is not the managing and leasing agent and has been replaced by Cushman & Wakefield, Inc.

In accord with the Lessee's May 20, 2002 vote, the expenses for the preparation of the solicitation statement, the solicitation of votes and the implementation of the new program are being paid by the Lessee. Such payments have totaled $290,179 to December 31, 2004, including $75,000 to Wien & Malkin plus disbursements of $11,077.

9. Building Improvements Program and Agreement to Extend Lease

In 1999 the participants in Associates and the Lessee approved an improvement program at the property (the "Program") originally budgeted at $7,650,000-$10,000,000, subsequently increased to $12,200,000. The scope of the work was subsequently expanded and the budget increased to $18,918,472. In 2004 the participants in Associates and the Lessee approved a further increase in the Program to approximately $31,400,000 under substantially the same conditions as had previously been approved.

The Lessee is financing the Program and billing Associates for the costs incurred. The Program (1) grants the ownership of the improvements to Associates and acknowledges its intention to finance them through an increase in the fee mortgage (Note 3), and (2) allows for the increased mortgage charges to be paid by Associates from an equivalent increase in the

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

DECEMBER 31, 2004

basic rent paid by the Lessee to Associates. Since any overage rent will be decreased by one-half of that amount, the net effect of the lease modification is to have Associates and the Lessee share the costs of the Program equally, assuming overage rent continues to be earned.

The current term of the Lease expires in 2028. Associates has consented to the Agents granting the Lessee three additional 25-year renewal options expiring in 2103. To the extent of the Lessee's completion of additional enhancements pursuant to the approved Program, Associates will grant additional Lease extension rights beyond 2103 in proportion to the net present benefit to Associates of the related increase in basic rent and the value of enhancements after completion, as determined at that time by the Agents in consultation with an independent expert.
