Number of pages (including exhibits) in this filing: 34 PART I Item 1. Business. (a) General Registrant is a partnership which was organized on September 25, 1958. On October 1, 1958, Registrant acquired fee title to the Lincoln Building (the "Building") and the land thereunder, located at 60 East 42nd Street, New York, New York (the "Property"). Registrant's partners are Anthony E. Malkin, Scott D. Malkin, Stanley Katzman, Thomas N. Keltner, Jr., John L. Loehr, Peter L. Malkin, and Richard A. Shapiro (individually, a "Partner" and, collectively, the "Partners"), each of whom also acts as an agent for holders of participations in the Registrant (each holder of a participation, individually, a "Participant" and, collectively, the "Participants"). Registrant leases the Property to Lincoln Building Associates (the "Lessee") under a long-term net operating lease (the "Lease") the current term of which expires on September 30, 2008. There is one additional 25- year renewal term which, if exercised, will extend the Lease until September 30, 2033. Lessee is a partnership whose members consist of, among others, Mr. Peter Malkin. Four of the seven Partners in Registrant are current members and one partner is a retired, former member of the law firm of Wien & Malkin LLP, 60 East 42nd Street, New York, New York, which acts as counsel to Registrant and to Lessee (the "Counsel"). See Items 10, 11, 12 and 13 hereof for a description of the ongoing services rendered by, and compen- sation paid to, Counsel and for a discussion of certain relationships which may pose actual or potential conflicts of interest among Registrant, Lessee and certain of their respective affiliates. As of December 31, 1997, the Building was approximately 95% occupied by approximately 575 tenants who engage principally in the practice of law, accounting, real estate, engineering and advertising. Registrant does not maintain a full-time staff. See Item 2 hereof for additional information concerning the Property. (b) The Mortgage A new mortgage loan on the Property was closed on October 6, 1994 (the "Mortgage Loan"). The material terms of the Mortgage Loan are as follows: (i) A principal amount of $12,020,814; (ii) Annual charges of $1,063,842, payable in equal monthly installments of $88,654, representing interest only at the rate of 8.85% per annum; (iii) A term of ten years; and (iv) A maturity date of October 31, 2004. The Mortgage Loan is prepayable in whole after October 6, 1995, with a penalty providing certain interest protection to the mortgagee. The Mortgage Loan is prepayable in whole without penalty during the 90-day period prior to its maturity date. The refinancing costs were capitalized by Registrant and are being expensed ratably during the period of the mortgage extension from October 6, 1994 to October 31, 2004. (c) The Lease The Lease, as modified, provides: (i) Lessee is required to pay Registrant an annual basic rent of $1,087,842 (the "Basic Rent"), which is equal to the sum of $1,063,842, the constant annual charges on the first mortgage calculated in accordance with the terms of the Lease, plus $24,000 for supervisory services payable to Counsel. See Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements filed under Item 8 hereof (the "Notes"). (ii) (A) additional rent (the "Additional Rent") equal to the lesser of (x) Lessee's net operating income for the lease year or (y) $1,053,800 and (B) further additional rent ("Further Additional Rent") equal to 50% of any remaining balance of Lessee's net operating income for such lease year. (Lessee has no obligation to make any payment of Additional Rent or Further Additional Rent until after Lessee has recouped any cumulative operating loss accruing from and after September 30, 1977. There is currently no accumulated operating loss against which to offset payment of Additional Rent or Further Additional Rent.) (iii) An advance against Additional Rent equal to the lesser of (x) Lessee's net operating income for the preceding lease year or (y) $1,053,800, which, in the latter amount, will permit basic distributions to Participants at an annual rate of approximately 14.95% per annum on their remaining cash investment in Registrant; provided, however, if such advances exceed Lessee's net operating income for any Lease year, advances otherwise required during the subsequent lease year shall be reduced by an amount equal to such excess until Lessee shall have recovered, through retention of net operating income, the full amount of such excess. -2- Further Additional Rent income is recognized when earned from the Lessee, at the close of the lease year ending September 30. Such income is not determinable until the Lessee, pursuant to the Lease, renders to Registrant a certified report on the operation of the Property. Further Additional Rent for the lease year ended September 30, 1997 was $2,110,080. After the payment of $47,545 for fees and expenses in connection with the September 4, 1997 Consent Solicitation Program and $206,254 to Counsel as an additional payment for supervisory services, the balance of $1,856,281 was distributed to the Participants on December 2, 1997. If the Mortgage is modified, upon the first refinancing which would result in an increase in the amount of the outstanding principal balance of the mortgage, the Basic Rent shall be equal to the Wien & Malkin LLP annual supervisory fee of $24,000 plus an amount equal to the product of the new debt service percentage rate under the refinanced mortgage multiplied by the principal balance of the mortgage immediately prior to such refinancing. If there are subsequent refinancings which result in an increase in the amount of the outstanding principal balance of the mortgage, the principal balance referred to above shall be reduced by the amount of the mortgage amortization payable from Basic Rent subsequent to the first refinancing. (d) Competition Pursuant to tenant space leases at the Building, the average base rent payable to Lessee is approximately $26 per square foot (exclusive of electricity charges and escalation). Such rate is competitive with the average rental rate charged by similar office buildings offering comparable space in the immediate vicinity of the Building. Registrant has been advised that buildings of comparable age and condition to the Building charge rental rates within $2.00 - $3.00 per square foot of the average rental rate at the Building. Rental rates for space are in the high $30's to low $50's per square foot at the following three nearby buildings: 101 Park Avenue (a new office building with modern facilities and located at 40th Street); Republic National Bank Building (a modern building on Fifth Avenue and 41st Street); the Met Life Building (a premier building erected in 1961). In the overall rental market for commercial space in Manhattan, rents range from approximately $48 per square foot for prime office space to approximately $10 per square foot in less developed industrial and/or secondary commercial areas. Accordingly, the average rent at the Building may be considered competitive in the area, given the relative condition of surrounding buildings and the nature of services, amenities and office space offered by them as compared to the Building. -3- (e) Tenant Leases Lessee operates the Building free from any federal, state or local government restrictions involving rent control or other similar rent regulations which may be imposed upon residential real estate in New York City. Any increase or de- crease in the amount of rent payable by a tenant is governed by the provisions of the tenant's lease, or, if a new tenant, by then existing trends in the rental market for office space. Item 2. Property. Registrant owns the Building located at 60 East 42nd Street, New York, New York, known as the "Lincoln Building," and the land thereunder. See Item 1. Registrant's fee title to the Property is encumbered by the Mortgage Loan with an unpaid principal balance of $12,020,814 at December 31, 1997. For a description of the terms of the Mortgage Loan, see Item 1 of Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994 and Note 3 of the Notes thereto. The Building, erected in 1930, has 55 floors, a concourse and a lower lobby. It is located diagonally opposite Grand Central Terminal, on 42nd Street between Park Avenue and Madison Avenue. The Building is net leased to Lessee. See Item 1 hereof and Note 4 of the Notes for additional information concerning the Lease. Item 3. Legal Proceedings. The property of Registrant is the subject of the following material pending litigation: Wien & Malkin LLP, et. al. v. Helmsley-Spear, Inc., et. al. On June 19, 1997 Wien & Malkin LLP and Peter L. Malkin filed an action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, against Helmsley-Spear, Inc. and Leona Helmsley concerning various partnerships which own, lease or operate buildings managed by Helmsley-Spear, Inc., including Registrant's property. In their complaint, plaintiffs sought the removal of Helmsley-Spear, Inc. as managing and leasing agent for all of the buildings. Plaintiffs also sought an order precluding Leona Helmsley from exercising any partner management powers in the partnerships. In August, 1997, the Supreme Court directed that the foregoing claims proceed to arbitration. As a result, Mr. Malkin and Wien & Malkin LLP filed an arbitration complaint against Helmsley-Spear, Inc. and Mrs. Helmsley before the American Arbitration Association. Helmsley-Spear, Inc. and Mrs. Helmsley served answers denying liability and asserting various affirmative defenses and counterclaims; and Mr. Malkin and Wien & Malkin LLP filed a reply denying the counterclaims. By agreement dated December 16, 1997, Mr. Malkin and Wien & Malkin LLP (each for their own account and -4- not in any representative capacity) reached a settlement with Mrs. Helmsley of the claims and counterclaims in the arbitration and litigation between them. Mr. Malkin and Wien & Malkin LLP are continuing their prosecution of claims in the arbitration for relief against Helmsley-Spear, Inc., including its termination as the leasing and managing agent for various entities and properties, including the Registrant's Lessee. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Participants. On September 4, 1997 the consent of the Participants was sought to approve certain governance proposals, including the designation of additional Successor Agents, as described in the Statement. Subsequently, on September 25, 1997, the Partners mailed to the non-responding Participants a request for a response to the solicitation of consents; and on October 31, 1997, the Partners mailed notification that the required consents for the Agent succession had been received and that the other matters were still pending. See Item 1(a). -5- PART II Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Equity and Related Security Holder Matters. Registrant, a partnership, was organized on September 25, 1958. The securities registered by it under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, consist of participations in the partnership interests of the Partners in Registrant (the "Participations") and are not shares of common stock or the equivalent. The Participations represent each Participant's fractional share in a Partner's undivided interest in Registrant. One full unit of the Participations was offered at an original purchase price of $10,000; fractional units were also offered for proportionate purchase prices. Registrant has not repurchased Participations in the past and is not likely to change its policy in the future. (a) The Participations neither are traded on an established securities market nor are readily tradable on a secondary market or the equivalent thereof. Based on Registrant's transfer records, Participations are sold by the holders thereof from time to time in privately negotiated transactions and, in many instances, Registrant is not aware of the prices at which such transactions occur. During 1997, Registrant was advised of 42 transfers of Participations. In two instances, the indicated purchase price was equal to two times the face amount of the Participations transferred, i.e., $20,000 for a $10,000 participation. In all other cases, no consideration was indicated. (b) As of December 31, 1997, there were 740 holders of Participations of record. (c) Registrant does not pay dividends. During each of the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, Registrant made regular monthly distributions of $124.57 for each $10,000 Participation. On December 2, 1997 and November 30, 1996, Registrant made additional distributions for each $10,000 Participation of $2,651.83 and $2,637.61, respectively. Such distributions represented primarily Additional Rent and Further Additional Rent payable by Lessee in accordance with the terms of the Lease. See Item 1 hereof. There are no restrictions on Registrant's present or future ability to make distributions; however, the amount of such distributions, particularly dis- tributions of Additional Rent and Further Additional Rent, depends solely on Lessee's ability to make payments of Basic Rent, Additional Rent and Further Additional Rent to Registrant. See -6- Item 1 hereof. Registrant expects to make distributions so long as it receives the payments provided for under the Lease. See Item 7 hereof. -7- Item 6. 60 EAST 42nd ST.

-8- Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation. Registrant was organized solely for the purpose of acquiring the Property subject to a net operating lease held by Lessee. Registrant is required to pay, from Basic Rent under the Lease, mortgage charges and amounts for supervisory services. Registrant is required to pay from Additional Rent and Further Additional Rent additional amounts for supervisory services and then to distribute the balance of such Additional Rent and Further Additional Rent to the Participants. Under the Lease, Lessee has assumed sole responsibility for the condition, operation, repair, maintenance and management of the Property. Registrant need not maintain substantial reserves or otherwise maintain liquid assets to defray any operating expenses of the Property. The following summarizes the material factors affecting Registrant's results of operations for the three years ended December 31, 1997: (a) Total income increased for the year ended December 31, 1997 as compared with the year ended December 31, 1996. Such increase is attributable to the payment of an increased amount of Further Additional Rent received by Registrant in 1997. Total income increased for the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared with the year ended December 31, 1995. Such increase is attributable to the payment of an increased amount of Further Additional Rent to Registrant in 1996. See Note 4 of the Notes. (b) Total expenses increased for the year ended December 31, 1997 as compared with the year ended December 31, 1996. Such increase resulted from an increase in the additional payment for supervisory services payable with respect to an increased amount of Further Additional Rent received by Registrant in 1997 and professional fees incurred in connection with the Consent Solicitation Program. Total expenses increased for the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared with the year ended December 31, 1995. Such increase resulted from an increase in the additional payment for supervisory services payable with respect to Further Additional Rent received by Registrant in 1996. Registrant's results of operations are affected primarily by the amount of rent payable to it under the Lease. The amount of Overage Rent payable to Registrant is affected by the cycles in the New York City economy and real estate rental market. It is difficult for management to forecast the New York City real estate market over the next few years. Liquidity and Capital Resources -9- There has been no significant change in Registrant's liquidity for the year ended December 31, 1997 as compared with the year ended December 31, 1996. No amortization payments are due under the Mortgage to fully satisfy the outstanding principal balance at maturity, and furthermore, 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 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 Lessee and, to the extent necessary, from additional capital investment by the partners in 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 commitments for capital expenditures while the Lease is in effect. Inflation Inflationary trends in the economy do not directly affect Registrant's operations since, as noted above, Registrant does not actively engage in the operation of the Property. Inflation may impact the operations of Lessee. Lessee is required to pay Basic Rent, regardless of the results of its operations. Inflation and other operating factors affect only the amount of Additional Rent and Further Additional Rent payable by Lessee, which is based on Lessee's net operating profit. Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. The financial statements, together with the accompanying report by, and the consent to the use thereof, of Jacobs Evall & Blumenfeld LLP immediately following, are being filed in response to this item. Item 9. Disagreement on Accounting and Financial Disclosure. Not applicable. -10- PART III Item 10. Directors and Executive Officers of the Registrant.

See Items 11, 12 and 13 hereof for a description of the services rendered by, and the compensation paid to, Counsel and for a discussion of certain relationships which may pose actual or potential conflicts of interest among Registrant, Lessee and certain of their respective affiliates. The names of entities which have a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or are subject to the requirements of Section 15(d) of that Act, and in which the Partners are either a director, joint venturer or general partner are as follows: Stanley Katzman is a joint venturer in 250 West 57th St. Associates; and a general partner in Empire State Building Associates, Navarre-500 Building Associates and Garment Capitol Associates. John L. Loehr is a general partner in Empire State Building Associates and Garment Capitol Associates. Peter L. Malkin is a joint venturer in 250 West 57th St. Associates; and a general partner in Empire State Building Associates, Navarre-500 Building Associates and Garment Capitol Associates. Item 11. Executive Compensation. As stated in Item 10 hereof, Registrant has no directors or officers or any other centralization of management. -12- No remuneration was paid during the current fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 by Registrant to any of the Partners as such. Registrant pays Counsel, for supervisory services and disbursements, fees of $24,000 per annum plus an additional payment of 10% of all distributions to Participants in Registrant in any year in excess of the amount representing an annual return of 14% on the Participants' remaining cash investment in Registrant (which remaining cash investment, at December 31, 1996, was equal to the Participant's original cash investment of $7,000,000). Pursuant to such fee arrangements, Registrant paid Counsel a total of $237,634 (consisting of $24,000 as an annual basic payment for supervisory services and $213,634 as an additional payment for supervisory services) during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997. The supervisory services included preparing of reports and related documentation required by the Securities and Exchange Commission, monitoring of all areas of federal and local securities law compliance, preparing certain financial reports, as well as the supervising of accounting and other documentation related to the administration of Registrant's business. Out of its fees, Counsel paid all disbursements and costs of regular accounting services. As noted in Items 1 and 10 of this report, four of the Partners are also current members of Counsel. Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management. (a) Registrant has no voting securities. See Item 5 hereof. At December 31, 1997, no person owned of record or was known by Registrant to own beneficially more than 5% of the outstanding Participations. (b) At December 31, 1997, the Partners (see Item 10 hereof) beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, the following Participations: Name and Address Amount of Percent of Beneficial Beneficial of Title of Class Owners Ownership Class Participations Thomas N. Keltner, Jr.$ 2,500.00 .036% in Partnership 1111 Park Avenue Interests New York, NY 10128 Name and Address Amount of Percent of Beneficial Beneficial of Title of Class Owners Ownership Class Participations John L.

Malkin $47,500.00 .679% 21 Bobolink Lane Greenwich, CT 06830 At such date, certain of the Partners (or their respective spouses) held additional Participations as follows: Peter L. Malkin owned of record as trustee or co-trustee an aggregate of $49,048 of Participations. Mr. Malkin disclaims any beneficial ownership of such Participations. Isabel Malkin, the wife of Peter L. Malkin, owned individually and beneficially $35,000 of Participations. Mr. Malkin disclaims any beneficial ownership of such Participations. Richard A. Shapiro owned of record as custodian a $5,000 Participation. Mr. Shapiro disclaims any beneficial ownership of such Participation. (c) Not applicable. Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions. (a) As stated in Items 1 and 10 hereof, Messrs. Katzman, Keltner, Loehr, Anthony E. Malkin, Peter L. Malkin, Scott D. Malkin and Shapiro are the seven Partners in Registrant and also act as agents for Participants in their respective part- nership interests therein. Mr. Peter Malkin is also among the partners in Lessee. As a consequence of one of the seven Partners being a partner in Lessee and four of the seven Partners being current members of Counsel (which represents Registrant and Lessee), certain actual or potential conflicts of interest may arise with respect to the management and administration of the business of Registrant. However, under the respective Participating Agreements pursuant to which the Partners act as agents for the Participants, certain transactions require the prior consent from Participants owning a specified interest under the Agreements in order for the agents to act on the Participants' behalf. Such transactions, among others, include modification and extension of the Lease or the Mortgage Loan, or a sale or other disposition of the Property or substantially all of Registrant's other assets. See Items 1 and 2 hereof for a description of the terms of the Lease. As of December 31, 1997, Mr. Peter Malkin owned a partnership interest in Lessee. The respective interests, if any, of the Partners in Registrant and Lessee arise solely from ownership of their respective Participations, and, in the case of -14- Mr. Peter Malkin, his individual ownership of a partnership interest in Lessee. The Partners receive no extra or special benefit not shared on a pro rata basis with all other Participants in Registrant or partners in Lessee. However, each of the four Partners who is a current Partner in Counsel, by reason of his respective interest in Counsel, is entitled to receive his pro rata share of any legal fees or other remuneration paid to Counsel for professional services rendered to Registrant and Lessee. See Item 11 hereof for a description of the remuneration arrangements between Registrant and Counsel relating to supervisory services provided by Counsel. Reference is also made to Items 1 and 10 hereof for a description of the relationship between Registrant and Counsel, of which five of the Partners are among the members. The respective interests of each Partner in any remuneration paid or given by Registrant to Counsel arises solely from such Partner's ownership of an interest in Counsel. See Item 11 hereof for a description of the remuneration arrangements between Registrant and Counsel relating to supervisory services provided by Counsel. (b) Reference is made to paragraph (a) above. (c) Not applicable. (d) Not applicable. -15- PART IV Item 14. Exhibits, Financial Statement Schedules and Reports on Form 8-K.

Jacobs Evall & Blumenfeld LLP Certified Public Accountants -17- INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT To the participants in 60 East 42nd St. Associates (a Partnership) New York, N. Y. We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of 60 East 42nd St. Associates as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the related statements of income, partners' capital deficit and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997, and the supporting financial statement schedule as contained in Item 14(a)(2) of this Form 10-K. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of 60 East 42nd St. Associates as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, and the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

See accompanying notes to financial statements. -24- 60 EAST 42nd ST. ASSOCIATES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Business Activity 60 East 42nd St. Associates ("Associates") is a general partnership which owns commercial property situated at 60 East 42nd Street and 301 Madison Avenue, New York, New York. The property is net leased to Lincoln Building Associates (the "Lessee"). 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies a. Real Estate and Depreciation: Real estate, consisting of land, buildings and building improvements, is stated at cost. The buildings and building improvements are fully depreciated. b. Mortgage Refinancing Costs, Amortization and Related Party Transactions: Mortgage refinancing costs of $249,522, incurred in connection with the October 6, 1994 refinancing of the first mortgage payable (see Note 3), are being charged to income ratably over the 10 year and 26 day term of the mortgage, from October 6, 1994 through October 31, 2004. c. Use of Estimates: In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management often 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. 3. First Mortgage Payable On October 6, 1994, a first mortgage was placed on the property with Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, as trustee of a pension trust, to refinance an existing first mortgage in the amount of $12,020,814. Annual mortgage charges are $1,063,842, payable in equal monthly installments, for interest only at the rate of 8.85% per annum. The first mortgage matures on October 31, 2004. The real estate is pledged as collateral for the first mortgage. Principal payments required to be made on long-term debt are as follows: Year ending December 31, 2004 (payable in full, October 31, 2004)......................................$12,020,814 -25- 60 EAST 42nd ST. ASSOCIATES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) 4. Related Party Transactions - Rent Income Rent income for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, totaling $4,251,722, $4,193,117 and $3,707,570, respectively, as provided under an operating lease with the Lessee dated October 1, 1958, as modified, consisted of the following: 1997 1996 1995 Basic rent income............. $1,087,842 $1,087,842 $1,087,842 Advance of additional rent.... 1,053,800 1,053,800 1,053,800 Further additional rent....... 2,110,080 2,051,475 1,565,928 $4,251,722 $4,193,117 $3,707,570 Effective October 6, 1994, the lease, as modified, provides for annual basic rent of $1,087,842, which is equal to the sum of $1,063,842, the new constant annual mortgage charges, plus $24,000. The modified lease also provides for payments of additional rent, as follows: 1. Advances of additional rent are payable in equal monthly installments totaling an amount equal to the lesser of $1,053,800 or the defined net operating income of the Lessee during the preceding fiscal year ended September 30th (the "lease year"); and 2. Further additional rent is payable in an amount equal to 50% of the Lessee's remaining net operating income, as defined, in each lease year. The modified lease further provides for changes to be made in the basic rent paid in the event of a refinancing of the first mortgage (Note 3). In such case, unless there is an increase in the mortgage balance, the annual basic rent will be modified and will be equal to the sum of $24,000 plus an amount equal to the revised mortgage charges. In the event such mortgage refinancing results in an increase in the amount of outstanding principal balance of the mortgage, the basic rent shall be equal to the sum of $24,000 plus an amount equal to the product of the new debt service percentage rate under the refinanced mortgage multiplied by the principal balance of the mortgage immediately prior to the refinancing. Additional rent is billed to and advanced by the Lessee in equal monthly installments of $87,817. While it is not practicable to estimate that portion of additional rent for the lease year ending on the ensuing September 30th which would be allocable to the current three month period ending December 31st, Associates'policy is to include in its income each year the advances of additional rent income received from October 1st to December 31st. No other additional rent is accrued by Associates for the period between the end of the Lessee's lease year ending September 30th and the end of Associates' fiscal year ending December 31st. The lease had an initial term expiring on September 30, 1983, with renewal options for two additional periods of 25 years each. In 1982, the first lease renewal option was exercised for the period from October 1, 1983 through September 30, 2008. -26- 60 EAST 42nd ST. ASSOCIATES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) 4. Related Party Transactions - Rent Income (Continued) The Lessee may surrender the lease at the end of any month, upon sixty days' prior written notice; the liability of the Lessee will end on the effective date of such surrender. A partner in Associates is also a partner in the Lessee. 5. Related Party Transactions - Supervisory Services Fees for supervisory services (including disbursements and costs of accounting services) for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, totaling $237,634, $236,528 and $187,973, respectively, were paid to the firm of Wien & Malkin LLP. Some members of that firm are partners in Associates. Fees for supervisory services are paid pursuant to an agreement, which amount is based on a rate of return of investment achieved by the participants of Associates each year. 6. Related Party Transactions - Professional Fees Professional fees for the year ended December 31, 1997, totaling $47,545 including disbursements, were paid to the firm of Wien & Malkin LLP, a related party. 7. Number of Participants There were approximately 725 participants in the participating groups at December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995. 8. Determination of Distributions to Participants Distributions to participants during each year represent the excess of rent income over the mortgage requirements and cash expenses. -27- 60 EAST 42nd ST. ASSOCIATES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) 9. Distributions and Amount of Income per $10,000 Participation Unit Distributions and amount of income per $10,000 participation unit during the years 1997, 1996 and 1995, based on 700 participation units outstanding during each year, consisted of the following: Year ended December 31, 1997 1996 1995 Income........................ $4,111 $4,097 $3,473 Return of capital............. 35 35 35 TOTAL DISTRIBUTIONS..... $4,146 $4,132 $3,508 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. 10. Concentration of Credit Risk Associates maintains cash balances in a bank and in a distribution account held by Wien & Malkin LLP. The bank balance is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000, and at December 31, 1997 was completely insured.

The reported income for 1997 was $2,877,925. This was less than distributions of $2,902,701, because of the amortization of mortgage refinancing costs. Monthly distributions during 1997 totalled $1,046,420, or about 14.9% per annum on the original cash investment of $7,000,000. The distributions were made possible by advances from the lessee totalling $1,053,800 against additional rent. Additional rent for the lease year ended September 30, 1997 was $3,163,880, or an excess of $2,110,080 over the advances of $1,053,800. After deducting fees and expenses of $47,545 incurred in connection with the September 4, 1997 consent solicitation program, the balance of $2,062,535 was available for distribution and additional supervisory fee. Wien & Malkin LLP received $206,254 and the balance of the excess rent of $1,856,281 was distributed to the participants on December 2, 1997. The additional distribution of $1,856,281 represented an annual return of about 26.5% on the cash investment of $7,000,000, so that total distributions for 1997 were at the rate of about 41.4% per annum. Taking into account that a portion of prior distributions constituted a return of capital, the book value on December 31, 1997 of an original cash investment of $10,000 was a deficit balance of $6,462.

Business Activity 60 East 42nd St. Associates ("Associates") is a general partnership which owns commercial property at 60 East 42nd Street and 301 Madison Avenue, New York, N.Y. The property is net leased to Lincoln Building Associates. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Use of estimates In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management often 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. Depreciation was provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the buildings, 26 years from October 1, 1958, and the estimated useful life of the building improvements, 20 years, 5 months from May 1, 1964. The buildings and building improvements are fully depreciated. Mortgage refinancing costs and amortization: Mortgage refinancing costs of $249,522, incurred in connection with the October 6, 1994 refinancing of the first mortgage, are being amortized ratably over the term of the mortgage, from October 6, 1994 through October 31, 2004. 3. First Mortgage Payable On October 6, 1994, a first mortgage was placed on the property with Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, as trustee of a pension trust, in the amount of $12,020,814. The first mortgage requires constant equal monthly payments 60 EAST 42ND ST. ASSOCIATES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 3. First Mortgage Payable (continued) totalling $1,063,842 per annum for interest only, at the rate of 8.85% per annum, and matures on October 31, 2004. The real estate is pledged as collateral for the first mortgage. Required principal payments on the first mortgage are as follows: 1998 through 2003 - 0 - October 31, 2004 $12,020,814 4. Rent Income and Related Party Transactions On January 4, 1982, Lincoln Building Associates (the lessee) exercised its option to renew the lease for an additional period of 25 years, and the lease period now extends through September 30, 2008. The lease includes an option to renew for one additional period of 25 years through September 30, 2033. Effective October 6, 1994, the lease as modified provides for annual basic rent of $1,087,842, which is equal to the sum of $1,063,842, the constant annual mortgage charges, plus $24,000. In the event of a mortgage refinancing, unless there is an increase in the mortgage balance, the annual basic rent will be modified and will be equal to the sum of $24,000 plus an amount equal to the revised mortgage charges. In the event that such mortgage refinancing results in an increase in the amount of outstanding principal balance of the mortgage, the basic rent shall be equal to $24,000 plus an amount equal to the product of the new debt service percentage rate under the refinanced mortgage multiplied by the principal balance of the mortgage immediately prior to the refinancing. The lease, as modified, also provides for additional rent, as follows: 1. Additional rent equal to the first $1,053,800 of the lessee's net operating income, as defined, in each lease year. 2. Further additional rent equal to 50% of the lessee's remaining net operating income, as defined, in each lease year. 60 EAST 42ND ST. ASSOCIATES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 4. Rent Income and Related Party Transactions (continued) For the lease year ended September 30, 1997, there was additional rent of $3,163,880 based on an operating profit of $5,273,959 subject to additional rent. Additional rent is billed to and advanced by the lessee in equal monthly installments of $87,817. While it is not practicable to estimate that portion of additional rent of the lease year ending on the ensuing September 30th which would be allocable to the current three month period ending December 31st, Associates' policy is to include in its income each year the advances of additional rent income received from October 1st to December 31st. No other additional rent is accrued by Associates for the period between the end of the lessee's lease year ending September 30th and the end of Associates' fiscal year ending December 31st. A partner in Associates is also a partner in the lessee. 5. Supervisory Services and Related Party Transactions Payments for supervisory services, including disbursements and cost of accounting services, are made to the firm of Wien & Malkin LLP. Some members of that firm are partners in Associates. 6. Professional Fees and Related Party Transactions Payments for professional fees, including disbursements, are made to the firm of Wien & Malkin LLP, a related party. 7. 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. 60 EAST 42ND ST. ASSOCIATES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 8. Concentration of Credit Risk Associates maintains cash balances in a bank and in a distribution account held by Wien & Malkin LLP. The bank balance is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000, and at December 31, 1997 was completely insured. The distribution account held by Wien & Malkin LLP is not insured. The funds held in the distribution account were paid to the participants on January 1, 1998.

Additional rent for the lease year ended September 30, 1997 was $3,163,880; $1,053,800 at $87,817 per month was advanced against additional rent so that the balance of additional rent is $2,110,080. After deducting fees and expenses of $47,545 incurred in connection with the September 4, 1997 consent solicitation program, the balance of $2,062,535 is available for distribution and additional supervisory fee. Wien & Malkin LLP receives an additional payment for supervisory services of 10% of distributions in excess of 14% per annum on the cash investment. Accordingly, Wien & Malkin LLP received $206,254 of the additional rent and the balance of $1,856,281 is being distributed to the participants. A check for your share of the additional distribution and the computation of the additional payment to Wien & Malkin LLP and distribution are enclosed.
