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 Donald A. Bettex, Ralph W. Felsten, 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") pursuant to a 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. Malkin. The Partners in Registrant are also members 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 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.
As of December 31, 1996, the Building was approximately 93% occupied by approximately 535 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

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.
(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, and $24,000 for supervisory services payable to Counsel. See Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements filed under Item 8 hereof (the "Notes").
(ii) Lessee is also required to pay to Registrant (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. There is no cumulative loss not recouped.
(iii) Lessee is required to pay $1,053,800 per annum to Registrant, as an advance against Additional Rent, an amount which will permit basic distributions to Participants at the annual rate of approximately 14.9% 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.
(iv) For the period before the liquidation of the mortgage, upon the first and each subsequent refinancing which results in an increase in the amount of the outstanding principal balance of the mortgage, the annual basic rent would equal the sum of (1) the annual $24,000 payment to Counsel for supervisory services plus (2) an amount equal to the product of (A) the new debt service percentage rate under the refinanced mortgage multiplied by (B) the principal balance of the mortgage immediately before the first such refinancing.
The balance of the mortgage charges would be borne by Registrant from Additional Rent. In such circumstances, Registrant would be entitled to retain the full net proceeds of the 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 immediately before such refinancing shall be reduced by the amount of mortgage amortization payable from annual basic rent under the Lease and subsequent to the first refinancing. See Exhibit II under Item 10(b) of Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1976 and 1979.
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 Lessee's operation of the Property. The Lease requires that this report be delivered to Registrant annually within 60 days after the end of each lease year. Accordingly, all Further Additional Rent income and related supervisory service expenses can only be determined after the receipt of such report. The Lease does not provide for the Lessee to render interim reports to Registrant, so no Further Additional Rent income is reflected for the period between the end of the lease year and the end of Registrant's fiscal year. See Note 4 of the Notes regarding Further Additional Rent payments by Lessee for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994.
(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 $1.00 - $2.00 per square foot of the average rental rate at the Building. Rental rates for space are in the high $30's to low $40'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 $50 per square foot for prime office space to approximately $12 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.
(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, 1996. 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.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
There are no material pending legal proceedings to which Registrant is a party or to which any of its property is subject.
Item 4.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Participants.
The Partners are in the process of preparing a solicitation of consents of the Participants to consider certain governance issues, including the designation of additional Successor Agents, and certain operations issues, including the granting to the Partners the authority, in consideration of the undertaking by Lessee of certain improvements to the Property and an increase in Basic Rent and Primary Additional Rent, to grant to Lessee two lease extension periods. A portion of the costs of the proposed improvement program would be shared between Registrant and Lessee but the details of this proposal are not yet complete.
PART II
Item 5.

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 1996, Registrant was advised of 47 transfers of Participations. In one instance, 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, 1996, there were 734 holders of Participations of record.
(c) Registrant does not pay dividends. During each of the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, Registrant made regular monthly distributions of $124.57 for each $10,000 Participation. On November 30, 1996 and November 30, 1995, Registrant made additional distributions for each $10,000 Participation of $2,637.61 and $2,013.34, 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 Item 1 hereof. Registrant expects to make distributions so long as it receives the payments provided for under the Lease. See Item 7 hereof.

SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
Item 7.

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, 1996:
(a) 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 received by Registrant in 1996. Total income decreased for the year ended December 31, 1995 as compared with the year ended December 31, 1994. Such decrease is attributable to the payment of a decreased amount of Further Additional Rent to Registrant in 1995 and a decrease in Basic Rent. See Note 4 of the Notes.
(b) 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 an increased amount of Further Additional Rent received by Registrant in 1996. Total expenses decreased for the year ended December 31, 1995 as compared with the year ended December 31, 1994. Such decrease resulted from the net of a decrease in the additional payment for supervisory services payable with respect to a decreased amount of Further Additional Rent received by Registrant in 1995 and an increase in interest expense on the Mortgage Loan due mainly to the increase in the rate of interest for such Mortgage Loan. In addition, there was a decrease in amortization of mortgage refinancing costs. See Notes 3, 4 and 5 of the Notes.
The amount of Additional Rent payable to Registrant is affected by the cycles in the New York City economy and the real estate rental market. It is difficult for Registrant to forecast when these markets will improve or deteriorate.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
There has been no significant change in Registrant's liquidity for the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared with the year ended December 31, 1995.
Assuming that the Building continues to generate an annual net profit in future years comparable to that in the current year 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 Loan balance at maturity. There are no changes anticipated in the short-term or long-term financial liquidity position of Registrant, other than the need to refinance the Mortgage Loan upon maturity. Registrant foresees no need to make material commitments for capital expenditures from its own resources 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 11.

Item 11. Executive Compensation.
As stated in Item 10 hereof, Registrant has no directors or officers or any other centralization of management.
No remuneration was paid during the current fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 by Registrant to any of the Partners as such. Registrant pays Counsel, for supervisory services and disbursements, fees of $24,000 per annum plus 10% of all distributions to Participants in any year in excess of the amount representing an annual return of 14% on the Participants' re- maining 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 $236,528 (con- sisting of $24,000 as an annual basic payment for supervisory services and $212,528 as an additional payment for supervisory services) during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996. 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, five of the Partners are also members of Counsel.
Item 12.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.
(a) Registrant has no voting securities. See Item 5 hereof. At December 31, 1996, no person owned of record or was known by Registrant to own beneficially more than 5% of the outstanding Participations.
(b) At December 31, 1996, 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 Donald A. Bettex $ 5,000.00 .071% in Partnership 700 Park Avenue Interests New York, NY 10021
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
John L. Loehr $ 5,000.00 .071% 286 Alpine Circle River Vale, NJ 07675

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.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.
(a) As stated in Items 1 and 10 hereof, Messrs. Bettex, Felsten, Katzman, Keltner, Loehr, Malkin, and Shapiro are the seven Partners in Registrant and also act as agents for Participants in their respective partnership interests therein. Mr. Malkin is also among the partners in Lessee. As a consequence of one of the seven Partners being a partner in Lessee and five of the seven Partners being 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, 1996, 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, 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, each of the five Partners who is a 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.

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, 1996 and 1995 and the related statements of income, partners' capital deficit and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996, 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, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996 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.

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 $308,961, incurred in connection with the September 30, 1987 refinancing of the first mortgage payable (see Note 3), were charged to income ratably over the seven year term of the first mortgage, from September 30, 1987 through October 1, 1994.
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

Rent income for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, totaling $4,193,117, $3,707,570 and $4,378,687, respectively, as provided under an operating lease with the Lessee dated October 1, 1958, as modified, consisted of the following:
1996 1995 1994
Basic rent income............. $1,087,842 $1,087,842 $1,122,040 Advance of additional rent.... 1,053,800 1,053,800 1,053,800 Further additional rent....... 2,051,475 1,565,928 2,202,847 $4,193,117 $3,707,570 $4,378,687
From October 1, 1987 through October 5, 1994, the lease, as modified, provided for annual basic rent of $1,132,075, which is equal to the sum of $1,108,075, the prior constant annual mortgage charges, plus $24,000. 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.
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, 1996, 1995 and 1994, totaling $236,528, $187,973 and $226,713, respectively, were paid to the firm of Wien, Malkin & Bettex 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. Number of Participants
There were approximately 725 participants in the participating groups at December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994.

7. Determination of Distributions to Participants
Distributions to participants during each year represent mainly the excess of rent income over the mortgage requirements and cash expenses.
8. Distributions and Amount of Income per $10,000 Participation Unit
Distributions and amount of income per $10,000 participation unit during the years 1996, 1995 and 1994, based on 700 participation units outstanding during each year, consisted of the following:
Year ended December 31, 1996 1995 1994
Income........................ $4,097 $3,473 $4,006 Return of capital............. 35 35 - TOTAL DISTRIBUTIONS..... $4,132 $3,508 $4,006
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.
9. Concentration of Credit Risk
Associates maintains cash balances in a bank and in a distribution account held by Wien, Malkin & Bettex LLP. The bank balance is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000, and at December 31, 1996 was completely insured. The distribution account held by Wien, Malkin & Bettex LLP is not insured. The funds held in the distribution account were paid to the participants on January 1, 1997.
