See accompanying notes to financial statements. -5- INVESTMENT PROPERTIES ASSOCIATES (A New York Limited Partnership) NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 As permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the accompanying unaudited financial statements and footnotes have been condensed and therefore, do not contain all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Reference should be made to the Company's annual Report Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. NOTE 2 In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly its financial position as of September 30, 2001 and the results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2001 and 2000. NOTE 3 The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. NOTE 4 - Taxes The net (loss) income for Federal income tax purposes is $(16,783) (September 30, 2001) and $146,390,123 (September 30, 2000) as compared with net income of $743,365 and $153,688,575 respectively, as shown in the statements of operations. The differences result principally from (i) rents received in advance and recognized currently for income tax purposes, and (ii) differences in depreciation expense and gain on the sale of real estate resulting from differences in the basis of real estate for tax and financial reporting purposes. NOTE 5 - Sale of Property On July 11, 2001 the Company sold its undeveloped land in Houston, Texas for $100,000. The sales proceeds were used to pay closing costs and other commitments of approximately $5,000. In connection with the sale, the Company recognized a gain for financial reporting purposes of approximately $95,000. NOTE 6 - Distributions to Partners On July 18, 2001, the Company paid a special dividend of $5,200,000 to its General and Special Limited Partners and holders of record as of the close of business on July 6, 2001 of its participations of Limited Partnership Interests from its available cash. In accordance with the Company's Limited Partnership Agreement, one-half of the net proceeds was distributed to the General and Special Limited Partners and one-half to the holders of its participations of Limited Partnership Interests. NOTE 7 - Subsequent Event On October 22, 2001, the Company signed a contract, subject to certain closing conditions, to sell its only remaining property, a vacant commercial office building located at 570 Broad Street, Newark, New Jersey, for a purchase price of $11,500,000. However, there can be no assurances that such sale will be consummated. -6- INVESTMENT PROPERTIES ASSOCIATES -------------------------------- (A New York Limited Partnership) ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Gross revenue from rentals for 2001 decreased approximately 100% as compared to 2000. The decrease was primarily due to the sale of the 1328 Broadway, 261 Fifth Avenue and 245 Fifth Avenue properties which occurred during 2000. Gross revenue from real estate in 2001 related to the settlement of certain closing adjustments relating to the sales of the aforementioned. As a result of the aforementioned property sales, in 2001 the Company's properties consist of two parcels of undeveloped land located in Houston, Texas (which were sold on July 11, 2001) and a vacant office property located at 570 Broad Street, Newark, New Jersey (which is under contract for sale, subject to certain closing conditions), neither of which are currently generating any rental income. The decrease in interest income was due to the reduction of investments in commercial paper as a result of the distribution made to partners of the net proceeds from the sales of properties. The real estate tax refund was attributable to the settlement in 2001 of tax certiorari appeals filed in a prior year relating to the Company's Chicago properties which had been sold in 1998 and the 1328 Broadway and 261 Fifth Avenue properties which had been sold in 2000. The decrease in real estate taxes and other expenses in 2001 as compared to 2000 is principally attributable to the sale of the 1328 Broadway, 261 Fifth Avenue and 245 Fifth Avenue properties, which occurred in 2000. The decrease in interest expense was due to the repayment of mortgage principal balance in 2000 upon the sale of the 1328 Broadway property. The decrease in depreciation and amortization of real estate was due to the sale of the 1328 Broadway, 261 Fifth Avenue and 245 Fifth Avenue properties in 2000. The Company's remaining office property located in Newark, New Jersey is being held as vacant. Accordingly, no depreciation is being recorded. On July 18, 2001, the Company paid a special dividend of $5,200,000 to its General and Special Limited Partners and holders of record as of the close of business on July 6, 2001 of its participations of Limited Partnership Interests from its available cash. In accordance with the Company's Limited Partnership Agreement, one-half of the net proceeds was distributed to the General and Special Limited Partners and one-half to the holders of its participations of Limited Partnership Interests. On October 22, 2001, the Company signed a contract, subject to certain closing conditions, to sell its only remaining property, a vacant commercial office building located at 570 Broad Street, Newark, New Jersey, for a purchase price of $11,500,000. However, there can be no assurances that such sale will be consummated. -7- INVESTMENT PROPERTIES ASSOCIATES -------------------------------- (A New York Limited Partnership) ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK At September 30, 2001, the Company had no interest bearing indebtedness and accordingly was not exposed to market risk with respect to changes in interest rates, and does not anticipate a need to seek additional borrowings. -8- PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 6. EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K (a) Exhibits None. (b) Reports on Form 8-K On October 24, 2001, the Registrant filed a Current Report on Form 8-K relating to the sale of its 570 Broad Street, Newark, New Jersey property, which is subject to certain closing conditions.
