See accompanying notes to financial statements. 2 INVESTMENT PROPERTIES ASSOCIATES (A New York Limited Partnership) STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS (UNAUDITED) FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 AND JUNE 30, 2002

See accompanying notes to financial statements. 3 INVESTMENT PROPERTIES ASSOCIATES (A New York Limited Partnership) NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2003 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, 2002, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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 June 30, 2003 and the results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. NOTE 2 - Taxes The net income for Federal income tax purposes is $4,669,503 (six months ended June 30, 2003) and $926,327 (six months ended June 30, 2002) as compared with net income of $4,151,968 and $1,033,683 respectively, as shown in the statements of operations. The differences result principally from depreciation expense which continued to be recognized for income tax purposes through the date of sale of the property and differences in the gain on sale of the 570 Broad Street property for income tax purposes. NOTE 3 - Other Income 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. In connection with the contract, the Company received non-refundable deposits from the buyer in the amount of $1,500,000. In January 2002, due to the buyer's inability to satisfy the closing conditions, the contract expired and the Company resumed marketing activities with respect to the Property. The Company retained the non-refundable deposits from the buyer in the amount of $1,500,000. Other income in 2003 relates to the receipt of real estate tax refunds pertaining to properties sold in prior years. NOTE 4 - Sale of 570 Broad Street Property On June 13, 2003, the Company sold its only remaining property, a vacant commercial office building located at 570 Broad Street, Newark, New Jersey, for a purchase price of $7,000,000. In connection with consummation of this sale transaction, the Company recognized a gain on the sale of approximately $4,540,000 for financial statement purposes as compared with a gain of approximately $5,160,000 for Federal income tax purposes. In connection with the sale of the 570 Broad Street property, on June 20, 2003, the Company declared a special dividend in the amount of $5,500,000 from the sales proceeds of the 570 Broad Street property. In accordance with the Company's partnership agreement, $2,750,000 was paid to the General Partners and Special Limited Partners, and $2,750,000 was paid to the holders of its participations of limited partnership interests in July 2003. 4 INVESTMENT PROPERTIES ASSOCIATES (A New York Limited Partnership) ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS As a result of the sales of the Company's remaining income producing properties in 2000, the Company no longer derives income from rental operations. The activity of the Company consists of marketing for sale its remaining non-income producing property, a vacant office property located at 570 Broad Street, Newark, New Jersey. On April 24, 2003, the Company signed a contract to sell the 570 Broad Street property for a sales price of $7,000,000, and consummated such sale on June 13, 2003. As a result of such sale, the Company has no remaining real property. See Note 4 of the accompanying notes to the financial statements. On June 20, 2003, the Company declared a special dividend in the amount of $5,500,000 from the sales proceeds of the consummated sale of the 570 Broad Street property. In accordance with the Company's partnership agreement, $2,750,000 was paid to the General Partners and Special Limited Partners, and $2,750,000 was paid to the holders of its participations of limited partnership interests in July 2003. The decrease in interest income was due to the reduction of investments in commercial paper as a result of the payment of 2002 accrued distributions during 2003, as well as the impact of declining interest rates. Other income in 2002 relates principally to the Company's retention of a non-refundable deposit in the amount of $1,500,000 received in 2001 from a prospective buyer of the 570 Broad Street property pursuant to a contract to sell the 570 Broad Street property, which was subject to certain closing conditions. As a result of the prospective buyer's inability to satisfy the closing conditions of the sales contract, the contract expired in accordance with its terms in January of 2002, and the buyer's deposit was forfeited to the Company. See Note 3 of the accompanying notes to the financial statements. Other income in 2003 relates to the receipt of real estate tax refunds pertaining to properties sold in prior years. The increase in other expenses in 2003 as compared to 2002 is principally attributable to an increase in insurance costs and repairs and maintenance expenses at the 570 Broad Street property. Gain on sale of real estate in 2003 relates to the sale of the 570 Broad Street property. As of December 31, 2002, the Company had accrued a distribution to its General Partners, Special Limited Partners and holders of record of the PPI's as of the close of business on December 31, 2001 in the amount of $450,538 in respect of 2002 net operating revenues. These amounts were paid prior to March 31, 2003. 5 INVESTMENT PROPERTIES ASSOCIATES (A New York Limited Partnership) ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK At June 30, 2003, 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. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. The Company's management has evaluated, with the participation of the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. (b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. 6 PART II.
