Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

Note AInterim Period Reporting

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Empire State Building Associates L.L.C. (the “Registrant”) reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position of Registrant as of September 30, 2010, its results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.  The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Registrant and its wholly-owned limited liability company, Empire State Land Associates L.L.C.  All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Information included in the condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2009 has been derived from the audited balance sheet included in Registrant's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 (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 consolidated financial statements unless significant changes have taken place since the end of the most recent fiscal year.  Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and the other information contained in the 10-K.  The consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any interim period or the full year.

Note B Organization

Registrant was originally organized as a general partnership on July 11, 1961. On October 1, 2001, Registrant converted from a general partnership to a limited liability company under New York law and is now known as Empire State Building Associates L.L.C. The conversion did not change any aspect of the assets and operations of Registrant other than to protect its investors from any future liability to a third party.

Registrant's members (“Members”) are Peter L. Malkin, Anthony E. Malkin and Thomas N. Keltner, Jr. (collectively, the "Agents"), each of whom also acts as an agent for holders of participations (“Participations”) in his respective member interest in Registrant (the "Participants"). 

Note C Purchase of Fee Title to The Empire State Building and Land Thereunder, Mortgage Debt, and Related Depreciation and Amortization

On April 17, 2002, Registrant acquired, through a wholly-owned limited liability company (Empire State Land Associates L.L.C.) the fee title to the building known as the Empire State Building at 350 Fifth Avenue in New York (the “Building”), and the land thereunder (the “Land”) (together, the “Real Estate” or “Property”), at a price of $57,500,000, and obtained a $60,500,000 first mortgage (the “First Mortgage”) with Capital One Bank to finance the acquisition and certain related costs. 

 

The Real Estate is carried in the financial statements at its historical cost of $60,484,389, consisting of $57,500,000 for the purchase price paid to the seller, $752,022 for acquisition costs, and $2,232,367 representing the unamortized balance of the cost of the Master Lease on the date the Real Estate was acquired. The cost of the Land was estimated to be 35.63% of the total cost of the Real Estate, and the Building 64.37%. Under the terms of the contract of sale, the deed contains language to avoid the merger of the fee estate and the leasehold, although on a consolidated financial statement basis the Registrant incurred no leasehold rent expense after acquiring the Real Estate.

The First Mortgage matures on May 1, 2012 and requires monthly payments of interest only at 6.5% per annum. The First Mortgage may be prepaid at any time after 24 months with the payment of a premium equal to the greater of (a) 1% of the amount prepaid and (b) an amount calculated pursuant to a prepayment formula designed to preserve the bank’s yield to maturity. The First Mortgage is secured by a lien on the Real Estate and Registrant’s leasehold estate under the Master Lease of the Real Estate.

Restricted cash at September 30, 2010 represents funds in an interest-bearing account held at Capital One Bank pursuant to the terms of the First Mortgage, to be used monthly to satisfy a portion ($166,667) of Registrant’s mortgage interest obligation. On March 4, 2010, Registrant deposited an additional $2,000,000 into this restricted account under the same conditions and will continue to do so annually hereafter.

To finance improvements at the Property and costs of the financing, on February 25, 2009 Registrant borrowed $31,500,000 from Signature Bank (the “Second Mortgage”).  The Second Mortgage also matures on May 1, 2012 and requires monthly payments of interest only at 6.5% per annum.  The Second Mortgage may be prepaid at any time without penalty and is secured by a lien on the Real Estate and Registrant’s leasehold estate under the Master Lease of the Real Estate.

The estimated fair value of Registrant’s total mortgage debt based upon available market information was $93,400,000 at September 30, 2010.

The Building and Building improvements are being depreciated on the straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 39 years. Mortgage financing costs, totaling $3,358,658, are being amortized ratably over the lives of the respective mortgages. 

Note D Sublease

Registrant does not operate the Building.  It subleases the Building to Empire State Building Company L.L.C. ("Sublessee") pursuant to a net operating sublease (the "Sublease"), which included an initial term which expired on January 4, 1992. The Sublease provided four separate options for Sublessee to renew the term, in each case for an additional 21 years, on the terms of the original Sublease. Such renewals have been exercised by Sublessee (a) on January 30, 1989, for the first renewal period from January 5, 1992 through January 4, 2013 and (b) as of February 11, 2010, for the remaining three renewal periods from January 5, 2013 through January 4, 2076 (the last two such renewals being exercised by Sublessee with Registrant’s consent for early exercise).

Sublessee is required to pay annual basic rent ("Basic Rent") of $6,018,750 from January 1, 1992 through January 4, 2013 and $5,895,625 from January 5, 2013 through the expiration of all renewal terms. Sublessee is also required to pay Registrant additional rent of 50% of Sublessee's net operating profit, as defined in the Sublease, in excess of $1,000,000 for each lease year ending December 31 (“Additional Rent”).

In accordance with the 2nd lease modification dated February 25, 2009, Basic Rent described above has been increased to cover debt service on the $31,500,000 Second Mortgage that closed on February 25, 2009.  Basic Rent will be increased to cover debt service on any additional borrowings for improvements and tenanting costs and on any refinancing of such debt so long as the aggregate amount refinanced does not exceed the then existing amount of debt plus refinancing costs.  

Due from Sublessee at September 30, 2010 represents advances made to Sublessee for building improvements costs.

Additional Rent and any interest and dividends accumulated thereon are distributed annually after deduction for any additional payment described in Note E below, set-aside of $2,000,000 to satisfy a portion of Registrant’s First Mortgage interest obligation, other expenses and additions to general contingencies management judges to be suitable under the circumstances.  For 2009, Sublessee reported net operating profit of $16,140,821; therefore, Additional Rent of $7,570,411 was earned for the year ended December 31, 2009. Since it is not practicable to estimate Additional Rent for the lease year ending on the ensuing December 31st which would be allocable to the first nine months of the lease yearuntil Sublessee, pursuant to the Sublease, provides to Registrant a certified operating report on the Sublessee’s operation of the Property, Registrant recognizes Additional Rent when earned from the Sublessee at the close of the lease year ending December 31st. The cost of improvements to be incurred by the Sublessee will reduce Additional Rent but should have no effect on the payment of Basic Rent to Registrant.

Sublessee is a New York limited liability company in which Peter L. Malkin is a member and entities for Peter L. Malkin’s family members are beneficial owners.

Note E Supervisory Services

Supervisory and other services are provided to the Registrant by its supervisor, Malkin Holdings LLC (“Malkin Holdings” or “Supervisor”) (formerly Wien & Malkin LLC), a related party. Beneficial interests in the Registrant are held directly or indirectly by one or more persons at Malkin Holdings and/or their family members.

 

Registrant pays Supervisor for supervisory services and disbursements. The basic fee (the "Basic Payment") has been payable at the rate of $100,000 per annum, payable $8,333 per month, since inception in 1961. The Agents have approved an increase in such fee in an amount equal to the increase in the consumer price index since such date, resulting in an increase in the Basic Payment to $725,000 per annum effective July 1, 2010. The Basic Payment will be subject to further increase in accordance with any future increase in the consumer price index.  The fee is payable (i) not less than $8,333 per month and (ii) the balance out of available reserves from Additional Rent. If Additional Rent is insufficient to pay such balance, any deficiency shall be payable in the next year in which Additional Rent is sufficient. The Agents also approved payment by Registrant, effective July 1, 2010, of the expenses in connection with regular accounting services related to maintenance of Registrant’s books and records. Such expenses were previously paid by Supervisor. 

The basic supervisory services provided to Registrant by Supervisor include, but are not limited to, maintaining all of its entity and Participant records, performing physical inspections of the Building, providing or coordinating certain counsel services to Registrant, review­ing insurance coverage, conducting annual supervisory review meetings, receipt of monthly rent from Sublessee, payment of monthly and additional distributions to the Participants, payment of all other disbursements, confirmation of the payment of real estate taxes, active review of financial statements submitted to Registrant by Sublessee and financial statements  audited by and tax information prepared by Registrant's independent registered public accounting firm, and distribution of related materials to the Participants.  Supervisor also prepares quarterly, annual and other periodic filings with the SEC and applicable state authorities. 

Registrant pays Supervisor for other services at hourly rates.

Pursuant to the fee arrangements described herein, Registrant incurred  supervisory service fees of $196,104 and $275,812, respectively, attributable to each of the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010, consisting of the basic supervisory fee at the rate of $100,000 p.a. for the first six months of 2010 and at the annual rate $725,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 plus additional fees totaling $59,417 p.a. representing 6% of the annual rent and debt service reductions from which Registrant has benefited. Supervisory fees were $39,855 and $119,563 for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009. No remuneration was paid during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 by Registrant to any of the Members.

Supervisor also receives an additional payment equal to 6% of distributions to the Participants in Registrant. For tax purposes, such additional payment is recognized as a profits interest and the Supervisor is treated as a member, all without modifying each Participant’s distributive share of reportable income and cash distributions. 

Reference is made to Note D above for a description of the terms of the Sublease between Registrant and Sublessee.  The respective interests of the Members in Registrant and in Sublessee arise solely from ownership of their respective Participations in Registrant and, in the case of Peter L. Malkin his participating interest and his family entities' ownership of participating interests in Sublessee.  The Members as such receive no extra or special benefit not shared on a pro rata basis with all other Participants in Registrant or members in Sublessee.  However, all of the Members hold senior positions at Supervisor (which supervises Registrant and Sublessee) and may, by reason of their positions at Supervisor, receive income attributable to supervisory or other remuneration paid by Registrant to Supervisor.

Item 2.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward Looking Statements

Readers of this discussion are advised that it should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements of Registrant (including related notes thereto) appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. Certain statements in this discussion may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements reflect Registrant’s current expectations regarding future results of operations, economic performance, financial condition and achievements of Registrant, and do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Registrant has tried, wherever possible, to identify these forward-looking statements by using words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate” or words of similar meaning.

Although Registrant believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, which may cause the actual results to differ materially from those projected. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the following: general economic and business conditions, which will, among other things, affect demand for rental space, the availability of prospective tenants, lease rents and the availability of financing; adverse changes in Registrant’s real estate market, including, among other things, competition with other real estate owners, risks of real estate development and acquisitions; governmental actions and initiatives; and environmental/safety requirements.

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

At the time of its organization, Registrant acquired the Master Lease of the Property subject to the Sublease.  Basic Rent received by Registrant was used to pay annual rent due under the Master Lease and the Basic Payment for supervisory services to Supervisor; the balance of such Basic Rent was distributed to the Participants.  Currently, Basic Rent received by Registrant is used to pay the Basic Payment and a portion of debt service on the mortgages; the balance of such Basic Rent is distributed to the Participants.  Additional Rent and any interest and dividends accumulated thereon less any expenses and general contingencies are distributed to the Participants after the additional payment to Supervisor.  See Note D to the condensed consolidated financial statements herein.  Pursuant to the Sublease, Sublessee has assumed responsibility for the condition, operation, repair, maintenance and management of the Property.  Registrant is not required to maintain liquid assets to defray any operating ex­penses of the Property.

Registrant does not pay dividends.  During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, Registrant made regular monthly distributions of $98.21 for each $10,000 Par­ticipation ($1,178.52 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, particularly distributions of Additional Rent, depends solely on the ability of Sublessee to make payments of Basic Rent and Additional Rent to Registrant.  Registrant expects to make distributions in the future to the extent it receives the payments provided for under the Sublease.    

During March 2010 Registrant made an additional distribution of Additional Rent of $3,361,924 received for the year ending December 31, 2009 to Participants after adding $2,000,000 to general contingencies of Registrant, $2,020,000 to satisfy a portion of Registrant’s First Mortgage interest obligation and $214,591 to Supervisor, offset by $26,104 of dividend and interest income. See Notes C and D to the condensed financial statements herein; and see below in “Liquidity, Capital Resources and Distributions” regarding Registrant’s anticipated inability to pay additional distributions during next several years.

 

During March 2009 Registrant made no additional distribution of Additional Rent received for the year ending December 31, 2008 to Participants. Additional Rent of $3,509,384 was applied to Registrant’s mortgage interest obligation and the balance of $1,509,384 for general contingencies. See Notes C and D to the condensed financial statements herein; and see below in “Liquidity, Capital Resources and Distributions” regarding Registrant’s anticipated inability to pay additional distributions during next several years.

Registrant’s results of operations are affected primarily by the amount of rent payable to it under the Sublease.  The amount of Additional Rent payable to Registrant is affected by the New York City economy and real estate rental and tourist attraction markets, which are difficult for management to forecast, and by the amount of unfinanced improvements undertaken at the Property.  The following summarizes, with respect to the current period and the corresponding period of the previous year, the material factors regarding Registrant's results of operations for such periods:

Total revenues decreased for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 as compared with the corresponding period of the prior year. The decrease was the result of a decrease in dividend and interest income for the three-month period as compared with the corresponding period of the prior year. Total revenues increased for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 as compared with the corresponding period of the prior year. The increase was the net result of an increase in Basic Rent income to cover an increase in debt service and a decrease in dividend and interest income for the nine-month period as compared with the corresponding period of the prior year. 

 

Total expenses increased for the three and nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 as compared with the corresponding period of the prior year.  The increase was the result of an increase in basic supervisory fees, depreciation of the building improvements and professional fees and miscellaneous expense for the three-month period as compared with the corresponding period of the prior year. The increase in total expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 was the net result of an increase in basic supervisory fees, interest on the mortgage payable, depreciation of building improvements and amortization of mortgage financing costs relating to the Second Mortgage and a decrease in professional fees and miscellaneous expense as compared with the corresponding period of the prior year.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Distributions

Registrant’s liquidity has decreased as of September 30, 2010, as compared with September 30, 2009 due to the advance of funds by Registrant to Sublessee for it to acquire building improvements and tenanting costs. Adverse developments in economic, credit and investment markets over the last two years impaired general liquidity (although some improvement in such markets has arisen recently) and the developments may negatively impact Registrant and/or space tenants at the Building. Any such impact should be ameliorated by the fact that (a) each of Registrant and its Sublessee has very low debt in relation to asset value, (b) the Building’s rental revenue is derived from a substantial number of tenants in diverse businesses with lease termination dates spread over numerous years.    

No amortization payments are due under the mortgages to reduce the outstanding principal balances prior to maturity. Furthermore, Registrant does not maintain any reserve to cover the principal payment of mortgage indebtedness at maturity.  Therefore, repayment of the mortgages will depend on Registrant’s ability to arrange a refinancing.  Assuming that the Real Estate continues to generate an annual net profit in future years comparable to that in past years, and assuming further that real estate capital and operating markets return to more stable patterns, consistent with long-term historical real estate trends in the geographic area in which the Real Estate is located, Registrant anticipates that the value of the Real Estate will be in excess of the amount of the mortgage balances at maturity. 

Registrant anticipates that funds for working capital for the Real Estate will be provided from rental payments received by Sublessee, which entity is required under the Sublease to make payments of Basic Rent and, subject to cash flow, Additional Rent.  Sublessee would also be required to make additional capital investment, if necessary to maintain the Real Estate.  Registrant has no requirement to maintain substantial reserves to defray any operating expenses of the Real Estate.

Sublessee is to maintain the Building as a high-class office building as required by the terms of the Sublease.  

Based on Sublessee’s review of the need for upgrades and improvements to the Property, Registrant has incurred improvement costs of approximately $10,160,000 through September 30, 2010, which costs were funded from Second Mortgage financing proceeds. Other improvement and tenanting costs funded out of Sublessee’s operating cash flow are owned by Sublessee and reflected in its financial statements. However, through September 30, 2010 Registrant advanced approximately $8,962,000 to Sublessee for building improvements and tenanting costs. To seek to maximize overall funds for improvement and tenanting costs, currently unapplied amounts of such financing proceeds may be used for such costs in the future. Sublessee estimates that the total cost of all projects will be approximately $626,000,000 over 10 years, including sprinklering of the Building of approximately $23,000,000 required by Local Law #26 to be completed by 2019. 

The Sublessee has not achieved its own required internal approvals for such financing beyond approximately $61,500,000 including the $31,500,000 Second Mortgage, plus an additional financing of approximately $30,000,000 or less, and now anticipates that its operating cash flow will thus continue to be dedicated largely to the ongoing improvement costs, greatly reducing or eliminating both (a) Sublessee’s payment of Additional Rent and (b) Registrant’s ability to make extra distributions to Participants.  

 

As a result, Registrant has advised Participants that possibly in subsequent years, it expects to make no distributions other than regular monthly distributions at the rate of $1,178.52 per annum for each $10,000 Participation.  As noted above in “Forward Looking Statements,” the foregoing is based on estimates, and actual results may be materially different.    

Inflation

Registrant believes that there has been no material change in the impact of inflation on its operations since the filing of the 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Security Ownership

As of September 30, 2010, the Members of Registrant owned of record and beneficially an aggregate of $41,043 of Participations in Registrant, representing less than .124% of the currently outstanding Participations therein totaling $33,000,000.

As of September 30, 2010, certain of the Members of Registrant held additional Participations as follows:

Entities for the benefit of members of Peter L. Malkin's family owned of record and beneficially $1,049,583 of Participations. Peter L. Malkin disclaims any beneficial ownership of such Participations, except that related trusts are required to complete scheduled payments to Peter L. Malkin.

Peter L. Malkin owned of record as trustee or co-trustee, but not beneficially, $516,667 of Participations.  Peter L. Malkin disclaims any beneficial ownership of such Participations.

Anthony E. Malkin owned of record as trustee or co-trustee, but not beneficially, $38,333 of Participations.  Anthony E. Malkin disclaims any beneficial ownership of such Participations.

Trusts for the benefit of members of Anthony E. Malkin's family owned of record and beneficially $50,000 of Participations. Anthony E. Malkin disclaims any beneficial ownership of such Participations.

 

Members of Thomas N. Keltner, Jr.’s family owned of record and beneficially $6,667 of Participations. 

Item 4T. 

Controls and Procedures.

(a)

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. The Supervisor after evaluating the effectiveness of Registrant’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of September 30, 2010, the end of the period covered by this report, has concluded that as of that date that Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective and designed to ensure that material information relating to Registrant would be made known to him by others within those entities on a timely basis. 

(b)

Changes in internal controls over financial reporting. There were no changes in Registrant’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, the Registrant’s internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings.

 

The Property of Registrant was the subject of the following material litigation: 

Malkin Holdings LLC and Peter L. Malkin, a member in Registrant, were engaged in a proceeding with Sublessee’s former managing agent, Helmsley-Spear, Inc. commenced in 1997, concerning the management, leasing and supervision of the Property that is subject to the Sublease to Sublessee.  In this connection, certain costs for legal and professional fees and other expenses were paid by Malkin Holdings and Mr. Malkin.  Malkin Holdings and Mr. Malkin have represented that such costs will be recovered only to the extent that (a) a competent tribunal authorizes payment or (b) an investor voluntarily agrees that his or her proportionate share be paid.  Accordingly, Registrant’s allocable share of such costs is as yet undetermined, and Registrant has not provided for the expense and related liability with respect to such costs in its consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q. As a result of an August 29, 2006 settlement agreement which included termination of this proceeding, Registrant will not recognize any gains or losses from this proceeding other than the possible charges for the aforementioned fees and expenses.

The August 29, 2006 settlement agreement terminated Helmsley-Spear, Inc. as managing and leasing agent at the Property as of August 30, 2006.  CB Richard Ellis had been engaged by the Sublessee as the new leasing agent, and Sublessee self-manages the Property. 

Effective October 21, 2009, Newmark Knight Frank has been appointed leasing agent for all non-retail space at the Building, replacing CB Richard Ellis which will continue as leasing agent only for retail space.
