         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 partners in Registrant, necessary for a fair
         statement of the results for such interim periods.  The partners
         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 interim periods are not necessarily
         indicative of the results to be expected for a full year. 

                   Registrant is a New York partnership which was organized
         on September 25, 1958 and which owns fee title to the Lincoln
         Building and the land thereunder, located at 60 East 42nd Street,
         New York, New York 10165 (the "Property").  Registrant's partners
         are Donald A. Bettex, Ralph W. Felsten, Stanley Katzman, Peter L.
         Malkin, Martin D. Newman, Melvyn H. Halper and C. Michael Spero,
         (collectively the "Partners"), each of whom also acts as an agent
         for holders of participations (the "Participants") in their
         respective partnership interests in Registrant.  

                   Registrant leases the Property to Lincoln Building
         Associates ("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 term which, if exercised, will
         extend the Lease until September 30, 2033.)  Lessee is a
         partnership whose partners consist of, among others, Mr. Malkin.
         The Partners are also members of the law firm of Wien, Malkin &
         Bettex, 60 East 42nd Street, New York, New York, counsel to
         Registrant and Lessee ("Counsel").  See Note C of this Item 1
         ("Note C").

                   The Lease, as modified, provides that Lessee is required
         to pay Registrant:

                   (i)  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.

                  (ii)  (A) additional rent (the "Additional Rent") equal
         to the lesser of (x) Lessee's net operating income for the
         preceding lease year or (y) $1,053,800 and (B) further additional
         rent (the "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.)  

                 (iii)  as an advance against Additional Rent, an amount
         which will permit basic distributions to Participants at the
         annual rate of 10% 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.  

                   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, 1995 was $1,565,928.  After payment of
         $156,593 to Counsel as an additional payment for supervisory
         services, the balance of $1,409,335 will be distributed to the
         Participants on November 30, 1995. 

                   A new first mortgage loan on the Property in the
         original principal amount of $12,020,814 was closed on October 6,
         1994 (the "Mortgage").  Annual Mortgage charges are $1,063,842,
         payable in equal monthly installments of $88,654, representing
         interest only at the rate of 8.85% per annum.  The Mortgage will
         mature on October 31, 2004 and is prepayable in whole after
         October 6, 1995 with a penalty providing interest protection to
         the mortgagee.  The Mortgage 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.  

                   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 & Bettex 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.

         Note C - Supervisory Services

                   Registrant pays Counsel for supervisory services and
         disbursements $24,000 per annum (the "Basic Payment"), plus an
         additional payment of 10% of all distributions to Participants in
         Registrant in any year in excess of the amount representing a
         return at the rate of 14% per annum on their remaining cash
         investment (the "Additional Payment").  At September 30, 1995,
         such remaining cash investment was $7,000,000 representing the
         original cash investment of Participants in Registrant.

                   No remuneration was paid during the three and nine month
         periods ended September 30, 1995 by Registrant to any of the
         Partners as such.  Pursuant to the fee arrangements described
         herein, Registrant paid Counsel $6,000 and $18,000, respectively,
         of the Basic Payment and $1,845 and $5,535 respectively, on
         account of the Additional Payment, for supervisory services for
         the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1995.  In
         addition, Registrant paid Counsel $125,000 in the three month
         period ended September 30, 1995 on account of additional payment
         for supervisory services of $156,593 with respect to Further
         Additional Rent.  See Note B of this Item 1.  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 the 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 the 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 Lease between Registrant and Lessee.  As of
         September 30, 1995, Mr. 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 in Registrant and, in the case of Mr.
         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, the Partners, by
         reason of their respective interests in Counsel, are entitled to
         receive their pro rata share of any legal fees or other
         remuneration paid to Counsel for legal services rendered to
         Registrant and Lessee.

                   As of September 30, 1995, the Partners owned of record
         and beneficially an aggregate $49,583.34 of participations in
 60 East 42nd St. Associates                                             8.
 September 30, 1995


         Registrant, representing less than 1% of the currently outstanding
         participations therein.

                   In addition, as of September 30, 1995, certain of the
         Partners in Registrant (or their respective spouses) held
         additional Participations in Registrant as follows:

                   C. Michael Spero owned of record as trustee or
                   co-trustee, but not beneficially, $50,714.29 of
                   Participations.  Mr. Spero disclaims any beneficial
                   ownership of such Participations.

                   Peter L. Malkin owned of record as trustee or
                   co-trustee, an aggregate of $65,714.29 of
                   Participations.  Mr. Malkin disclaims any beneficial
                   ownership of such Participations.

                   Isabel Malkin, the wife of Peter L. Malkin, individually
                   and beneficially, owned $30,000 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.

                   As stated in Note B, 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 the annual mortgage charges due under the Mortgage and the
         Basic Payment to Counsel for supervisory services.  The balance of
         such Basic Rent is distributed to the Participants.  Additional
         Rent and Further Additional Rent is distributed to the
         Participants after the Additional Payment to Counsel.  See Note C
         of Item 1 above.  Under the Lease, Lessee has assumed sole
         responsibility for the condition, operation, repair, maintenance
         and management of the Property.  Registrant is not required to
         maintain substantial reserves or otherwise maintain liquid assets
         to defray any operating expenses of the Property.

                   Registrant does not pay dividends.  During the three and
         nine month periods ended September 30, 1995, Registrant made
         regular monthly distributions of $124.57 for each $10,000
         participation ($1,494.89 per annum for each $10,000
         participation).  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 Lessee to make
         payments of Basic Rent, Additional Rent and Further Additional
         Rent to Registrant in accordance with the terms of the Lease.
         Registrant expects to make distributions so long as it receives
         the payments provided for under the Lease.

                   On November 30, 1995, Registrant will make an additional
         distribution of $2,013.34 for each $10,000 participation.  Such
         distribution represents Further Additional Rent payable by Lessee
         in accordance with the terms of the Lease.
 60 East 42nd St. Associates                                             9.
 September 30, 1995


                   Registrant's results of operations are affected
         primarily by the amount of rent payable to it under the Lease.
         The following summarizes, with respect to the current period and
         the corresponding period of the previous year, the material
         factors affecting Registrant's results of operations for such
         periods:  

              Total income decreased for the three and nine month
              periods ended September 30, 1995, as compared with the
              three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1994.
              Such decrease resulted from a decrease in the Basic
              Rent now payable under the Lease and from a decrease
              in income from Further Additional Rent for the lease
              year ending September 30, 1995.  See Note B.  Total
              expenses decreased for the three and nine month
              periods ended September 30, 1995, as compared with the
              three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1994.
              Such decrease was the net result of (i) an increase in
              mortgage interest expense, (ii) a decrease in the
              additional payments for supervisory services with
              respect to Further Additional Rent for the lease year
              ended September 30, 1995, as compared with the
              payments for supervisory services with respect to
              Further Additional Rent for the lease year ended
              September 30, 1994, and (iii) a decrease in the
              amortization of mortgage refinancing costs.  See Note
              B.  

                           Liquidity and Capital Resources

                   There has been no significant change in Registrant's
         liquidity for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
         1995, as compared with the three and nine month periods ended
         September 30, 1994.

                   No amortization payments are due under the Mortgage to
         fully satisfy the outstanding principal balance at maturity, and
         furthermore, the 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 Building 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 foresees no need for it to make material
         commitments for capital expenditures while the Lease is in effect.

                                      Inflation

                   Registrant has been advised 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, 1994, which report and all exhibits thereto are incorporated
         herein by reference and made a part hereof.
