	 Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)

	 Note A - Basis of Presentation

	       The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements
	 have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to
	 Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all information and
	 footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position,
	 results of operations and statement of cash flows in conformity
	 with generally accepted accounting principles.  The accompanying
	 unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments
	 (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the
	 opinion of the partners in Registrant, necessary for a fair
	 statement of the results for such interim periods.  The partners
	 in Registrant believe that the accompanying unaudited condensed
	 financial statements and the notes thereto fairly disclose the
	 financial condition and results of Registrant's operations for the
	 periods indicated and are adequate to make the information
	 presented therein not misleading.


	 Note B - Interim Period Reporting

	      The results for the interim period are not necessarily
	 indicative of the results to be expected for a full year. 

	      Registrant was organized on January 10, 1957.  On May 1,
	 1957, Registrant acquired fee title to the Garment Capitol
	 Building (the "Building") and the land thereunder, located at
	 498 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York (the "Property").
	 Registrant's partners are Stanley Katzman, John L. Loehr and
	 Peter L. Malkin (collectively the "Partners"), each of whom also
	 acts as an agent for holders of participations in their respective
	 partnership interests in Registrant (the "Participants").

	       Registrant does not operate the Property.  Registrant leased
	 the Property to 498 Seventh Avenue Associates (the "Original
	 Lessee") under a net operating lease (the "Operating Lease") which
	 commenced as of May 1, 1957 and was scheduled to expire on
	 April 30, 2007.  

	       In 1994 and 1995, the Original Lessee made capital calls on
	 its partners in the aggregate amount of $1,300,000 to defray
	 certain operating expenses and improvement costs at the Property.
	 Despite these new capital infusions, however, the Original Lessee
	 concluded that to return the Property to profitability would
	 require a very large additional capital investment, estimated by
	 the Original Lessee to be as high as $16,000,000.  Therefore, on<PAGE>
	 
	 Garment Capitol Associates                                      6.

	 June 30, 1997




	 December 29, 1995, in accordance with the terms of the Operating
	 Lease, the Original Lessee assigned the Operating Lease to
	 4987 Corporation (the "New Lessee"), thereby effectively
	 terminating the liability of the Original Lessee and its partners
	 under the Operating Lease.  The shares in the New Lessee are owned
	 by the partners in the Original Lessee. 

	      From January 1, 1996 through the sale of the Property (see
	 below), the New Lessee paid Basic Rent under the Operating Lease.
	 Registrant in turn continued to pay (1) the monthly mortgage
	 payments to Apple Bank for Savings (the "Fee Mortgagee") on
	 Registrant's fee mortgage on the Property (the "Fee Mortgage");
	 (2) its monthly fee for supervisory services; and (3) monthly
	 distributions to the participants in Registrant.

	      However, since January 1, 1996, the New Lessee failed to pay
	 the New York City real estate and Business Improvement District
	 ("BID") assessments, which were due on January 1, 1996
	 (collectively, the "1/1/96 Real Estate Taxes").  As a result, the
	 New Lessee was in default under the Operating Lease as of that
	 date.

	      The New Lessee requested that Registrant forbear from
	 exercising its rights and remedies under the Operating Lease,
	 including termination of the Operating Lease, by reason of the
	 failure to pay the 1/1/96 Real Estate Taxes, while management of
	 Registrant solicited the consent of its participants to a sale of
	 the property (the "Solicitation").  In connection with Registrant
	 forbearance, the New Lessee agreed to cooperate fully with
	 Registrant in connection with the sale of the Property and to
	 continue to perform its other obligations under the Operating
	 Lease, including payment of the Basic Rent, to enable Registrant
	 to continue its monthly distributions to the Participants and to
	 pay its supervisory fee and its monthly mortgage obligation.

	      The failure to pay the 1/1/96 Real Estate Taxes also
	 constituted a breach of Registrant's obligations under the Fee
	 Mortgage.  The Shareholders of the New Lessee (or designees on
	 their behalf) borrowed from the Fee Mortgagee a sum equal to the
	 1/1/96 Real Estate Taxes and interest thereon to the date of the
	 borrowing and further sums equal to the subsequent semi-annual
	 installments of the New York City real estate taxes and BID
	 assessments (together with the 1/1/96 Real Estate Taxes, the "Real
	 Estate Taxes") which became due.  These sums were used to fund
	 protective advances by the Fee Mortgagee to pay the Real Estate
	 Taxes and interest thereon through the purchase of subordinate
	 participating interests in the Fee Mortgage in such amounts.  As a
	 result, the Fee Mortgagee agreed to forbear from exercising<PAGE>

	 rights and remedies under the Fee Mortgage based on Registrant's
	 failure to pay (or cause to be paid by the New Lessee) the Real
	 Estate Taxes.

	      On July 26, 1996 management completed its Solicitation, in
	 which it expressed its belief that the Property could not be
	 operated on a profitable basis without significant capital
	 improvements; it also opined that the program to sell the Property
	 would permit Registrant to liquidate its investment in an orderly
	 fashion and avoid the necessity of raising additional capital from
	 the participants and others to support and renovate the Property
	 while avoiding litigation costs and the risk of loss of the
	 Property through a Fee Mortgage foreclosure.

	      On January 29, 1997, Registrant, having received
	 authorization from its participants to sell the Property, entered
	 into a contract of sale of the Property at a selling price of
	 $42,000,000.  Such sale was concluded on March 27, 1997, at which
	 time the Fee Mortgage was paid in full and Registrant discontinued
	 operations.  In accordance with the Solicitation, the proceeds of
	 sale were allocated between Registrant and the New Lessee.  On
	 March 31, 1997, a distribution of $27,000,000 ($25,714 per $5,000
	 participation unit) was made to the participants out of the
	 proceeds of sale.  However, the New Lessee's share of such
	 proceeds, which according to the Solicitation amounts to
	 approximately $6,900,000, is being held by Wien & Malkin LLP,
	 60 East 42nd Street, New York, New York 10165, a related party and
	 counsel to Registrant and Original Lessee ("Counsel"), in
	 connection with litigation referred to in Part II.  Registrant's
	 receivable from the New Lessee was satisfied on March 29, 1997 by
	 the payment of the protective advances from proceeds of the sale
	 of the Property in accordance with the Solicitation.  On July 23,
	 1997, an additional distribution of $800,000 ($761.90 per $5,000
	 participation unit) was made to the Participants out of the
	 proceeds of sale.

	      The balance of sale proceeds allocated to Registrant,
	 approximately $175,000 (subject to adjustment), continues to be
	 held by Counsel in a money market fund as a reserve against
	 contingencies and to cover winding up, liquidation and final
	 accounting costs.  If the full amount of this balance were
	 distributed to Participants, each holder of an original $10,000
	 unit (as reduced to $5,000) would receive $166.67.  It cannot be
	 determined now what costs will be incurred and what contingencies
	 may arise.  The final distribution will likely occur before
	 December 31, 1997.  

	      The Original Lessee is a partnership in which Peter L. Malkin
	 and, subsequently, Mrs. Malkin are among the partners.  The
	 stockholders in the New Lessee are the individuals who constituted
	 the partners in the Original Lessee as of December 31, 1995.  The
	 Partners in Registrant are also members of Counsel. <PAGE>

	 rent of $1,090,000 (the "Basic Rent") to Registrant and (ii)
	 additional rent equal to 50% of New Lessee's net operating profit
	 in excess of $200,000 for each lease year (the "Additional Rent").  

	       Additional Rent income was recognized when earned from the
	 New Lessee, at the close of the lease years ending April 30.  Such
	 income, if any, was not determinable until the New Lessee,
	 pursuant to the Operating Lease, rendered to Registrant a
	 certified report on the operation of the Property.  The Operating
	 Lease did not provide for the New Lessee to render interim reports
	 to Registrant, so no Additional Rent income was reflected for the
	 period between the end of the lease year and the end of
	 Registrant's fiscal year.  

	      New Lessee reported net loss of $1,862,412 for the lease year
	 ended April 30, 1996; therefore, there was no additional rent paid
	 for such lease year.  Consequently, no additional payments for
	 supervisory services were paid to Counsel for the lease year ended
	 April 30, 1996.  The reportable information for the final lease
	 year ended March 25, 1997 is pending review and has not yet been
	 determined.


	 Note C - Supervisory Services

	      Registrant paid Counsel for supervisory services and
	 disbursements (i) the basic payment of $42,500 per annum ("Basic
	 Payment"); (ii) an additional annual basic payment of the first
	 $37,500 of Additional Rent paid by Lessee in any lease year
	 ("Additional Basic Payment"); and (iii) an additional payment of
	 10% of all distributions to Participants in any year in excess of
	 the amount representing a return at the rate of 18% per annum on
	 their remaining cash investment in any year (the "Additional
	 Payment").  The Additional Basic Payment was payable in each year
	 only from Additional Rent received by Registrant from New Lessee.
	 If Additional Rent in any year was inadequate to cover the
	 Additional Basic Payment, such deficiency was payable in the
	 following year in which Additional Rent was sufficient.

	      No remuneration was paid during the three month period ended
	 June 30, 1997 by Registrant to any of the Partners as such.
	 Pursuant to the fee arrangements described herein, Registrant paid
	 Counsel $42,500 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996.<PAGE>

	 Registrant also paid Counsel $10,625 of the Basic Payment for
	 supervisory services for the three month period ended March 31,
	 1997.

	      The supervisory services provided to Registrant by Counsel
	 include legal, administrative services and financial services.
	 The legal and administrative services include acting as general
	 counsel to Registrant, maintaining all of its partnership records,
	 performing physical inspections of the Building, reviewing
	 insurance coverage and conducting annual partnership meetings.
	 Financial services included monthly receipt of rent from the New
	 Lessee, 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 the 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.  Counsel also prepared quarterly,
	 annual and other periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange
	 Commission and applicable state authorities.

	      The respective interests of Messrs. Katzman, Loehr and
	 Malkin, if any, in Registrant arose solely from the ownership of
	 their respective participations in Registrant and Mr. Malkin's
	 interests in the New 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 the New Lessee.
	 However, each of the Partners, by reason of his respective
	 interest in Counsel, is entitled to receive his pro rata share of
	 payments in respect of supervisory services and in respect of any
	 legal fees or other remuneration paid to Counsel for legal and
	 supervisory services rendered to Registrant and the New Lessee.

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

	      Registrant was organized solely for the purpose of acquiring
	 the Property subject to the Operating Lease.  Registrant was
	 required to pay from Basic Rent the annual charges due under the
	 Fee Mortgage and the Basic Payment for supervisory services, and
	 to distribute the balance to the Participants.  Additional Rent
	 was distributed to the Participants after the Additional Basic
	 Payment and the Additional Payment was made to Counsel.  See Note
	 C of Item 1 ("Note C").  Pursuant to the Operating Lease, the New
	 Lessee assumed responsibility for the condition, operation,
	 repair, maintenance and management of the Property.  Registrant
	 was not required to maintain substantial reserves or otherwise
	 maintain liquid assets to defray any operating expenses of the
	 Property.<PAGE>

	      Registrant did not pay dividends.  During the three month
	 period ended March 31, 1997, Registrant made regular monthly
	 distributions of $48.58 for each $5,000 participation ($582.96 per
	 annum for each $5,000 participation).  As a result of no
	 Additional Rent being paid to Registrant for the lease year ended
	 April 30, 1996, there was no additional distribution for 1996.
	 There were no restrictions on Registrant's ability to make
	 distributions; however, the amount of such distributions,
	 particularly distributions of Additional Rent, depended solely on
	 the ability of New Lessee to make monthly payments of Basic Rent
	 and Additional Rent to Registrant in accordance with the terms of
	 the Operating Lease.  

	      Registrant's results of operations were affected primarily by
	 the amount of rent payable to it under the Operating Lease.

				      Inflation

	      Registrant believes that there has been no material change in
	 the impact of inflation on its operations since the filing of its
	 report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996, which
	 report and all exhibits thereto are incorporated herein by
	 reference and made a part hereof.

			     PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

	 Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

	      The Property of Registrant is the subject of the following
	 pending litigation:

	      On October 4, 1996, the alleged holder of three participation
	 interests in Registrant brought suit in the U.S. District Court
	 for the Southern District of New York against the New Lessee, the
	 Original Lessee, the partners in Registrant, and Counsel.
	 Registrant is a nominal defendant.  The suit claims that
	 defendants violated the anti-fraud provisions of the federal
	 securities laws and committed breaches of fiduciary duty and fraud
	 in relation to the Solicitation.  The suit is styled as a class
	 action, but the plaintiff has not applied for class certification
	 to date.  The suit seeks to enjoin the allocation of sale proceeds
	 to the New Lessee approved by the  Participants, money damages and
	 related relief.  Defendants have responded to the complaint with a
	 motion seeking dismissal of the action in its entirety.  That
	 motion is now pending.  The complaint does not seek any relief<PAGE>
	 
	 Garment Capitol Associates                                     11.

	 June 30, 1997




	 against Registrant, and, accordingly, Registrant's litigation
	 counsel is of the opinion that no loss or other unfavorable
	 outcome of the action against Registrant is anticipated.  In
	 accordance with the Solicitation, sale proceeds were allocated to
	 repay the Fee Mortgagee the protective advances as well as all
	 other sums then outstanding on the Fee Mortgage.  Pursuant to an
	 agreement between counsel for the plaintiff in the 1996 proceeding
	 and counsel for the defendants, net sale proceeds allocated to the
	 New Lessee in accordance with the formula set forth in the
	 Solicitation will not be distributed to the New Lessee, except
	 upon 30 days' notice to counsel for the plaintiff.  Such allocated
	 proceeds are currently being held by Counsel.

	      On March 13, 1997, the alleged holder of a fractional
	 participation interest in Registrant brought suit in the U.S.
	 District Court for the Southern District of New York against New
	 Lessee, Original Lessee, Registrant's Partners and Counsel.
	 Registrant is a nominal defendant.  The suit is essentially
	 similar to the legal action described in the preceding paragraph,
	 alleging that defendants violated the Federal proxy rules,
	 committed breaches of fiduciary duty and fraud in relation to the
	 Solicitation for the sale and forbearance program and for
	 liquidation of Registrant.  The suit seeks to enjoin the
	 allocation of sale proceeds to New Lessee approved by the
	 Participants, money damages and related relief.  Defendants have
	 moved to dismiss this complaint in its entirety.  The complaint
	 does not seek any relief against Registrant, and, accordingly,
	 Registrant's litigation counsel is of the opinion that no loss or
	 other unfavorable outcome of the action against Registrant is
	 anticipated.

	 Item 6.   Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K.

	      (a)  The exhibits hereto are being incorporated by reference.  

	      (b)  Registrant has not filed any report on Form 8-K during
	 the quarter for which this report is being filed.<PAGE>
