TO PARTICIPANTS IN 60 EAST 42nd ST. ASSOCIATES L.L.C. ("Associates"):

We enclose the operating report of the lessee, Lincoln Building Associates L.L.C., for the fiscal year of the lease ended September 30, 2003. The lessee reported profit of $12,999,992 subject to additional rent for the lease year ended September 30, 2003, as against profit of $13,889,578 subject to additional rent for the lease year ended September 30, 2002. Additional rent for the lease year ended September 30, 2003 was $7,553,796. $1,053,800 at $87,817 per month was advanced against additional rent so that the balance of additional rent is $6,499,996.

Although total gross income of the lessee this lease year increased by approximately $1,450,000 over last year, additional costs, primarily for real estate taxes, insurance, basic rent, steam expense and tenant installations, resulted in a reduction in this year's additional rent distribution. The increase in gross income is mainly attributable to increased real estate tax escalation billings resulting from the increase in real estate taxes.

Wien & Malkin LLP receives an additional payment for supervisory services of 10% of distributions in excess of 14% per annum on the original cash investment of $7,000,000. After reserving $200,000 for advances by Associates for payment of New York State 2004 estimated tax for non-resident individual investors (to be recouped from future distributions to these investors), and payment of annual New York State LLC filing fees of $700, $6,299,296 is available for distribution. Accordingly, Wien & Malkin LLP received $629,930 of the additional rent and the balance of $5,669,366 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.

The additional distribution of $5,669,366 represents a return of about 81.0% on the original cash investment of $7,000,000. Regular monthly distributions are at the rate of about 14.9% a year, so that distributions for the year ending December 31, 2003 will be about 95.9% per annum.

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

Cordially yours,

WIEN & MALKIN LLP
