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 September 30,
2002, its results of operations for the nine months and three
months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 and cash flows for the
nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 and its changes in
Partners' capital for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.
Information included in the condensed balance sheet as of December
31, 2001 has been derived from the audited balance sheet included
in Registrant's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001
(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
significant 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 nine
months ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for the full year.


Note B Interim Period Reporting

Registrant was organized as a partnership on March 21,
1958. Registrant owned the tenant's interest in the long-term
ground lease (the "Lease") of the buildings located at 500 and 512
Seventh Avenue and 228 West 38th Street, New York, New York (the
"Property") until Registrant sold the Lease on December 23, 1999.
Registrant ceased to be a partnership on December 23, 1999 when
the interests of its partner Agents were redeemed by conveyance to
them of direct pro rata interests in the Property. The
partnership's final tax return was filed for the period ending
December 23, 1999. After December 23, 1999, such former partners
(the "Agents") continued the ownership of the Lease as co-tenants
for the benefit of the Participants, and the co-tenancy has
conducted its business under the name "Navarre-500 Building
Associates", a co-tenancy, all for the benefit of the Participants
on all the same pre-existing economic and investment terms through
the date of such sale and thereafter. In accord with the
applicable agreements regarding sale, each of Associates and
Lessee is required to hold 5% of its sales proceeds in reserve
satisfaction of all post-closing obligations. At September 30,
2002 the balance in the escrow account was $1,023,300.
-5-
Registrant's Agents were Peter L. Malkin and Thomas N.
Keltner, Jr. who are now the co-tenant Agents. The land
underlying the buildings was owned by an unaffiliated third party
and was leased to Registrant under the Lease. The current term of
the Lease as extended was to expire on May 1, 2024. The Lease
provided for one 21-year renewal option. The annual rent payable
by Registrant under the Lease was $487,500 during the current and
renewal term.

Registrant did not operate the Property, but subleased
the Property to 500-512 Seventh Avenue Associates ("Sublessee")
pursuant to a net operating sublease (the "Sublease"), the current
renewal term was to expire on April 30, 2024. The Sublease
provided for one renewal option co-extensive with the Lease.
Peter L. Malkin, an Agent in Registrant, has also been a partner
and now a co-tenant in Sublessee. The Agents in Registrant are
also members of Wien & Malkin LLP, which provides supervisory and
other services to Registrant and to Sublessee ("Supervisor"). See
Note C of this Item 1 ("Note C").

Under the Sublease, Sublessee was required to pay (i)
annual basic rent of $1,167,500 during the current renewal term
and the additional renewal term (the "Basic Rent") and (ii)
additional rent to Registrant during the current term and the
renewal term equal to 50% of Sublessee's net operating profit in
excess of $620,000 for each lease year ending June 30 (the
"Additional Rent").


Note C Supervisory Services

Prior to the sale of the property, Registrant paid
Supervisor Basic and Additional Payments (as described below) for
supervisory services and disbursements. The supervisory fees were
$40,000 per annum, prior to Registrants' sale of its property,
(the "Basic Payment") plus 10% of all distributions to
Participants in any year in excess of the amount representing a
return at the rate of 23% per annum on their remaining cash
investment in Registrant (the "Additional Payment"). At September
30, 2002, the investment of the Participants had been repaid in
full but the Participants continue to hold pro rata interests in
Registrant based upon the original participating interests.
-6-
Following such sale of the property, Registrant paid
Supervisor for supervisory and other services and disbursements at
hourly rates in lieu of Basic and Additional Payments.

The supervisory services provided to Registrant by
Supervisor have included providing or coordinating counsel
services to Registrant, maintaining all of its partnership 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.

Pursuant to the fee arrangements described above, there
was no payment made to Supervisor by Registrant for the nine month
period ended September 30, 2002.

No remuneration was paid during the nine month period
ended September 30, 2002 by Registrant to any of the Agents as
such.

Reference is made to Note B of Item 1 (Note "B") for a
description of the terms of the Sublease between Registrant and
Sublessee. The respective interests, if any, of the Agents in
Registrant and Sublessee arise solely from their respective
ownership of participations, if any, in Registrant and, in the
case of Mr. Malkin, his ownership of a partnership or co-tenant
interest in Sublessee. The Agents as such received no extra or
special benefit not shared on a pro rata basis with all other
Participants in Registrant or partners or co-tenants in Sublessee.
However, each of the Agents, by reason of his interests in
Supervisor, may receive income attributable to any fees or
remuneration paid to Supervisor for services rendered to
Registrant and Sublessee.

As of September 30, 2002, the Agents owned of record and
beneficially $8,125 participations in Registrant, representing
0.25% of the currently outstanding participations therein.
-7-
In addition, as of September 30, 2002, certain of the
Agents in Registrant (or their respective spouses) held additional
Participations as follows:

Entities for the benefit of members of Peter L. Malkin's
family owned of record and beneficially $35,000 of
Participations. Mr. Malkin disclaims any beneficial
ownership of such Participations, except that related
trusts are required to complete scheduled payments to Mr.
Malkin.

Peter L. Malkin, Trustee of Mattee Saunders 1983 Trust,
owned $7,500 of Participations. Mr. Malkin disclaims
any beneficial ownership of such Participations.

In accordance with the provisions of the respective
participating agreements, Peter L. Malkin, in his capacity as
agent, purchased from non-consenting Participants an aggregate of
$1,875 of participations for the benefit of consenting
Participants, all on the terms described in the Agents' Consent
Solicitations dated July 15, 1999. Each such purchase may be
revised at the discretion of the Agents upon receipt of the
consent from the applicable non-consenting Participant.


Note D Special Fees

During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, fees
totaling $15,253 were paid to the firm of Wien & Malkin LLP, a
related party



Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Registrant was a partnership and is now a co-tenancy.
As stated in Note B, Registrant was organized for the purpose of
acquiring the Master Lease subject to the Sublease. Basic Rent
received under the Sublease was used to pay annual rent due under
the Master Lease and the Basic Payment to Supervisor for
supervisory services. The balance of the Basic Rent was
distributed to the Participants. Additional Rent was distributed
to the Participants after the Additional Payment to Supervisor.
See Note C above. Pursuant to the Sublease, Sublessee had assumed
sole responsibility for the condition, operation, repair,
maintenance and management of the Property. Registrant did not
need to maintain substantial reserves or otherwise maintain liquid
assets to defray any operating expenses of the Property.

Registrant did not pay dividends. On January 1, 2000, a
regular distribution of $36,882 was made to participants and a
distribution of sales proceeds of $47,080,000 was made on January
14, 2000. On October 3, 2001 a distribution of $2,000,000 was made
to the participants.

Item 4. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Internal Control
Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our chief
executive officer and our chief financial officer, after evaluating the
effectiveness of our "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined
in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c))
as of a date (the "Evaluation Date") within 90 days before the filing
date of this quarterly report, have concluded that as of the Evaluation
Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and designed
to ensure that material information relating to Registrant would be
made known to it by others within the Registrant.

(b) Changes in internal controls. There were no significant changes
in our internal controls or to our knowledge, in other factors that could
significantly affect our internal controls and procedures subsequent to
the Evaluation Date.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

The Property of Registrant is the subject of the following
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
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 then
continued 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. The arbitration
hearings were concluded in June 2000, and the arbitrators issued
their decision on March 30, 2001, ordering that the termination of
Helmsley-Spear, Inc. would require a new vote by the partners in
the Lessee, setting forth procedures for such a vote, and denying
the other claims of all parties. Following the decision, Helmsley-
Spear, Inc. applied to the court for confirmation of the decision,
and Mr. Malkin and Wien & Malkin LLP applied to the court for an
order setting aside that part of the decision regarding the
procedure for partnership voting to terminate Helmsley-Spear, Inc.
and various other parts of the decision on legal grounds. The
court granted the motion to confirm the arbitrators' decision and
denied the application to set aside part of the arbitrators'
decision. Mr. Malkin and Wien & Malkin LLP have served notice of
appeal of the court's determination.
