March 31, 1997 NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) Note A - Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and statement of cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of the joint venturers in Registrant, necessary for a fair statement of the results for such interim periods. The joint venturers in Registrant believe that the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements and the notes thereto fairly disclose the financial condition and results of Registrant's operations for the periods indicated and are adequate to make the information presented therein not misleading. Note B - Interim Period Reporting The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year. Registrant is a New York joint venture which was organized 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"). Registrant's joint venturers are Peter L. Malkin and Stanley Katzman (the "Joint Venturers"), each of whom also acts as an agent for holders of participations in their undivided joint venture interests in Registrant (the "Participants"). Registrant leases the Property to Fisk Building Associates (the "Net Lessee"), under a long-term net operating lease (the "Net Lease"), the current term of which expires on September 30, 2003. Net Lessee is a New York partnership in which Mr. Malkin is among its partners. In addition, the Joint Venturers are also members of the law firm of Wien & Malkin LLP, 60 East 42nd Street, New York, New York, counsel to Registrant and Net Lessee ("Counsel"). See Note C of this Item 1 ("Note C"). Under the Net Lease, Net Lessee must pay (i) annual basic rent equal to the sum of $28,000 plus an amount equal to the rate of constant payments for interest and amortization required annually under the first mortgage described below (the "Basic Rent"), and (ii)(A) primary overage rent equal to the lesser of 250 West 57th St. Associates 7. March 31, 1997 (1) Net Lessee's net operating income for the preceding lease year or (2) $752,000 (the "Primary Overage Rent"), and (B) secondary overage rent equal to 50% of any remaining balance of Net Lessee's net operating income for such lease year ("Secondary Overage Rent"). 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, 1996, Net Lessee reported net operating profit of $4,068,953 after deduction of Basic Rent. Net Lessee paid Primary Overage Rent of $752,000, together with Secondary Overage Rent of $1,658,477 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1996. The Secondary Overage Rent of $1,658,477 represents 50% of the excess of the net operating profit of $4,068,953 over $752,000. After payment of $165,848 to Counsel as an additional payment for supervisory services, the balance of $1,492,629 was distributed to the Participants on November 30, 1996. 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 certified report on the 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 Lease provides for one renewal option of 25 years. The Participants in Registrant and the partners in Net Lessee have agreed to execute three additional 25-year renewal terms on or before the expiration of the then applicable renewal term. Effective March 1, 1995, the first mortgage loan on the Property, in the principal amount of $2,890,758, held by Apple Bank for Savings ("Apple Bank") was refinanced (the "Refinancing"). The material terms of the refinanced mortgage loan (the "Mortgage Loan") are as follows: (i) a maturity date of June 1, 2000; (ii) monthly payments of $24,096 aggregating $289,157 per annum applied first to interest at the rate of 9.4% per annum and the balance in reduction of principal; 250 West 57th St. Associates 8. March 31, 1997 (iii) no prepayment until after the third loan year. Thereafter, a 3% penalty will be imposed in the fourth loan year and a 2% penalty during the fifth loan year. No prepayment penalty will be imposed if the Mortgage Loan is paid in full during the last 90 days prior to maturity of the Mortgage Loan; and (iv) no Partner or Participant will have any personal liability for principal of, or interest on, the Mortgage Loan. Note C - Supervisory Services Registrant pays Counsel for legal fees and supervisory services and disbursements: (i) $40,000 per annum (the "Basic Payment"); and (ii) an additional payment of 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 original cash investment (the "Additional Payment"). At March 31, 1997, the Participants' remaining original cash investment was $3,600,000. Of the Basic Payment, $28,000 is payable from Basic Rent and $12,000 is payable from Primary Overage Rent received by Registrant. No remuneration was paid during the three month period ended March 31, 1997 by Registrant to any of the Joint Venturers as such. Pursuant to the fee arrangements described herein, Registrant also paid Counsel $10,000 of the Basic Payment and $5,000 on account of the Additional Payment for the three month period ended March 31, 1997. The supervisory services provided to Registrant by Counsel include legal, administrative services and financial services. The legal and administrative services include acting as general counsel to Registrant, maintaining all of its partnership records, performing physical inspections of the Building, reviewing insurance coverage and conducting annual partnership meetings. Financial services include monthly receipt of 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 Registrants' independent certified public accountant, and distribution of such materials to the Participants. Counsel also prepares quarterly, annual and other periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and applicable state authorities. Reference is made to Note B for a description of the terms of the Net Lease between Registrant and Net Lessee. The respective interests, if any, of each Joint Venturer in Registrant 250 West 57th St. Associates 9. March 31, 1997 and in Net Lessee arise solely from such person's ownership of participations in Registrant and partnership interests or participations in Net Lessee. The Joint Venturers receive no extra or special benefit not shared on a pro rata basis with all other Participants in Registrant or partners in Net Lessee. However, each of the two Joint Venturers who is currently a member of Counsel, by reason of his respective partnership interest in Counsel, is entitled to receive his pro rata share of any legal fees or other remuneration paid to Counsel for legal services rendered to Registrant and Net Lessee. As of March 31, 1997, the Joint Venturers owned of record and beneficially $29,166 of Participations, representing less than 1% of the currently outstanding Participations in Registrant. In addition, as of March 31, 1997, certain of the Joint Venturers in Registrant (or their respective spouses) held additional Participations as follows: Isabel Malkin, the wife of Peter L. Malkin, owned of record and beneficially $70,000 of Participations. Mr. Malkin disclaims any beneficial ownership of such Participations. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Registrant was organized solely 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 Mortgage Loan and amounts for supervisory services, and to then distribute the balance of such Basic Rent to holders of Participations. See Note C of Item 1. Pursuant to the Net Lease, Net Lessee has assumed sole respon- sibility for the condition, operation, repair, maintenance and management of the Property. Accordingly, Registrant need not maintain substantial reserves or otherwise maintain liquid assets to defray any operating expenses 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 is affected by the New York City economy and its real estate market. It is difficult to forecast whether the New York City economy and real estate market will improve or deteriorate over the next few years. Registrant does not pay dividends. During the three month period ended March 31, 1997, 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, 1996, Registrant made an additional distribution of $2,073 for each 250 West 57th St. Associates 10. March 31, 1997 $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 Counsel. 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 solely 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 remained the same for the three-month period ended March 31, 1997 as compared with the three-month period ended March 31, 1996. Total expenses decreased for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the three month period ended March 31, 1996. Such decrease resulted from a decrease in interest expense on the Mortgage Loan. Liquidity and Capital Resources There has been no significant change in Registrant's liquidity for the three month period ended March 31, 1997, as compared with the three month period ended March 31, 1996. The amortization payments due under the Mortgage Loan (see Note B of Item 1 hereof) will not be sufficient to fully liquidate the outstanding principal balance thereof at maturity in 2000. Registrant does not maintain any reserve to cover the payment of any mortgage indebtedness at or prior to maturity. Therefore, repayment of such indebtedness will depend on Registrant's ability to arrange a further refinancing of the Mortgage Loan. The ability of Registrant to obtain any such refinancing will depend upon several factors, including the value of the Property at that time and future trends in the real estate market and the economy in the geographic area in which the Property is located. 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 partners in the Net Lessee and/or external financing. However, as noted above, Registrant has no requirement to maintain substantial reserves to defray any operating expenses of the Property. Registrant foresees no need to make material commit-ments for capital expenditures while the Net Lease is in effect. 250 West 57th St. Associates 11.
