Annual Report (Form 10-K), fiscal year 1993

Item 1. Business
General
Mendik Real Estate Limited Partnership (the "Partnership" or "Registrant") is a New York limited partnership which was formed in October 1985 pursuant to an agreement of limited partnership (as amended, the "Partnership Agreement") for the purpose of acquiring, maintaining and operating income-producing commercial office buildings in the Greater New York Metropolitan Area. NY Real Estate Services 1 Inc., a Delaware corporation ("NYRES1") (formerly known as Hutton Real Estate Services XV, Inc.), and Mendik Corporation, a New York corporation ("Mendik Corporation"), are the general partners (together, the "General Partners") of the Registrant. (See Item 10.)
Commencing May 7, 1986, the Partnership began offering up to a maximum of 1,000,000 units of limited partnership interest (the "Units") at $500 per Unit with a minimum required purchase of 10 Units or $5,000 (four Units for an Individual Retirement Account or Keogh Plan). Investors who purchased the Units ("Investor Limited Partners") are not required to make any further capital contributions to the Partnership. Upon completion of the offering on September 18, 1987 the Partnership had accepted subscriptions for 395,169 Units for gross aggregate cash proceeds to the Partnership of $197,584,500. Net proceeds to the Partnership after deducting selling commissions, organization expenses, and other expenses of the offering were approximately $172,766,598. These proceeds were used to: (i) repay the principal amount of and interest on interim financing obtained by the Partnership to fund the acquisition of a property located at 1351 Washington Boulevard, Stamford, Connecticut (the "Stamford Property"); (ii) acquire the leasehold interests in a property located on Mamaroneck Avenue in Harrison, New York (the "Saxon Woods Corporate Center") and in a property located at 330 West 34th Street, New York, New York (the "34th Street Property") and; (iii) acquire an approximate 60% interest in Two Park Company, the joint venture which owns a property located at Two Park Avenue, New York, New York (the "Park Avenue Property").
The Stamford Property, Saxon Woods Corporate Center, 34th Street Property and Park Avenue Property are each referred to as a "Property" and collectively referred to as the "Properties." See Item 2



Item 2. Properties
Saxon Woods Corporate Center
Valuation. The Partnership's investment in the leasehold interest in the Saxon Woods Corporate Center at acquisition was $20,664,379, excluding acquisition expenses of $536,454. The Property's appraised value as of January 21, 1986 was $22,000,000. The appraised value of the leasehold interest as of December 31, 1993 was $15,000,000, as compared to appraised values of $14,000,000 at December 31, 1992 and $12,000,000 at December 31, 1991.
Location. Saxon Woods Corporate Center is located on Mamaroneck Avenue in Harrison, New York, approximately 18 miles north of New York City in Westchester County. The office park is located near the Mamaroneck Avenue exit of Hutchinson River Parkway, approximately one mile north of Interstate 95, which is the major artery connecting New York City to Westchester County and Connecticut. Westchester County Airport is located approximately three miles north of the site.
Site and Improvements. Saxon Woods Corporate Center consists of two five-story office buildings. The building at 550 Mamaroneck Avenue consists of approximately 112,000 net rentable square feet and the building at 600 Mamaroneck Avenue contains approximately 125,000 net rentable square feet, based on current standards of measurement. The buildings are situated on a 15.28 acre site, which provides ground-level parking for more than 800 cars.
Ground Lease. The parcel of land underlying each building is leased from an unaffiliated ground lessor pursuant to a ground lease which terminates in September 2027 and provides the Partnership with the option to renew for two 25-year periods and one 39-year period. Each ground lease provides for an annual net rental of $170,000, with an increase of $20,000 every five years commencing in January 1996.
Renovations. During the period from 1986 through 1993, the Partnership expended approximately $8.9 million on capitalized renovations, including tenant improvement construction, funded from cash flow, Partnership reserves, and borrowings.
Financing. Through January 1994, the Partnership had borrowed approximately $4.7 million and made commitments to borrow an additional $362,000 under the $6.5 million non-recourse line of credit secured by the Partnership's leasehold interest in the Saxon Woods Corporate Center (the "Saxon Woods Line of Credit"). Reference is made to Note 6 to the Financial Statements, which is incorporated herein by reference thereto, for additional information regarding the Saxon Woods Line of Credit.
Leasing. The Property's occupancy rates as of February 28, 1994, 1993 and 1992 were 75%, 67% and 42%, respectively. The vacancy rate in Westchester County, where the Saxon Woods Corporate Center is located, was 20.9% as of December 31, 1993, as compared to a vacancy rate of 15.1% at December 31, 1992. The Property's combined occupancy rate was lower than in the surrounding area primarily as a result of IBM's having vacated its more than 100,000 square feet of space in the Property (which constituted approximately 43% of the space in the Property) upon expiration of its lease in November 1988 in order to consolidate into other existing locations in Westchester County. This departure coincided with a severe and prolonged downturn in the Westchester County commercial real estate market. Although the Property's occupancy rate had risen since the departure of IBM, the Partnership experienced the loss of General Accident Insurance Company of America which vacated its 28,000 square feet in the Property (which constituted approximately 12% of the space in the Property) to relocate to the company's newly-constructed headquarters building upon expiration of its lease in July 1991. During 1993, utilizing funds available under the Saxon Woods Line of Credit, the Partnership entered into leasing transactions covering approximately 30,000 square feet at the Property including lease extensions and expansions by existing tenants. This activity is in addition to the leases for approximately 65,000 square feet that were signed during 1992. During 1994, the General Partners will continue to market the Property's available space to commercial office tenants and fund the costs of any additional leases utilizing proceeds from the Saxon Woods Line of Credit.
Stamford Property
Valuation. The Stamford Property was acquired by the Partnership for $31,250,000, excluding acquisition expenses of $313,125. The Property's appraised value as of October 17, 1985 was $34,000,000. The appraised value of the Property as of December 31, 1993 was $9,150,000, compared to appraised values of $10,600,000 as of December 31, 1992 and $14,100,000 as of December 31, 1991.
Location. The Stamford Property is located at 1351 Washington Boulevard in the northwestern section of downtown Stamford, Connecticut approximately one mile north of the Stamford railroad station and Interstate 95, which is the major east/west freeway in the city, and 3.5 miles south of the Merritt Parkway, which bisects the city. In addition to fronting on Washington Boulevard, the Stamford Property is bounded by North Street, Franklin Street and Stanley Court. Stamford is located on the Long Island Sound in southwestern Connecticut, approximately 34 miles northeast of New York City.
Site and Improvements. The office building and adjacent parking garage are located on a 1.73 acre parcel of land. The ten-story office building contains approximately 220,000 net rentable square feet, based on current standards of measurement. The above-ground parking garage provides over 550 parking spaces.
Renovations. During the period from 1985 through 1993, the Partnership expended approximately $10 million on capitalized renovations, including tenant improvement construction, funded from cash flow, Partnership reserves, and borrowings.
Financing. Reference is made to Note 6 to the Financial Statements, which is incorporated herein by reference thereto, for information regarding the terms of the $12.5 million non-recourse first mortgage loan to which the Stamford Property is subject (the "Stamford Loan"). The Partnership failed to make full payment of debt service due on February 10, 1994 and March 10, 1994 with respect to the Stamford Loan. Consequently, the Partnership is in default under the terms of the Stamford Loan and the property's lender, New York Life Insurance Company ("New York Life"), may elect to exercise its remedies under the loan agreement including accelerating the maturity date of the principal balance of the loan and electing to foreclose on its mortgage. The General Partners are now seeking a short-term agreement from New York Life, pursuant to which New York Life would forbear from exercising its remedies under the mortgage and Mendik Realty Company, Inc. ("Mendik Realty") would continue to defer its management fees and leasing commissions with respect to the Property. The Partnership would then attempt to sell the Property during the forbearance period. However, in light of the fact that the appraised value of the Property at December 31, 1993 was less than the mortgage, and New York Life is unlikely to accept a pay off of its mortgage at a discount, it is unlikely that such a sale would result in any cash proceeds being available for distribution. If the Partnership were unable to sell the Property and pay off the Stamford Loan within the forbearance period, the Partnership would transfer the deed in lieu of a foreclosure in order to provide an orderly and efficient transfer of title to the Property to New York Life. See Item 7.
Leasing. The Property's occupancy rates as of February 28, 1994, 1993 and 1992, were 57%, 60% and 60%, respectively. Fairfield County, where the Stamford Property is located, has suffered from one of the highest metropolitan area vacancy rates in the country over the past six years as the vacancy rate increased from 17% in 1986 to 24.2% as of December 31, 1992. As of December 31, 1993, the vacancy rate in Fairfield County had declined slightly to 21%. Major tenants at the Stamford Property include D&B Computing Services, Inc. ("D&B") which leases 43,100 square feet (20% of the total leasable area in the Property) under a lease that expired on December 31, 1993. Effective January 1, 1994, the Partnership signed a ten-year lease extension with D&B whereby D&B will remain a tenant in the property through December 31, 2003. However, the rental rate D&B is paying under the terms of the extension represents a substantial reduction in the rate paid previously, reflecting current market conditions in Stamford. The property's other major tenant is Automatic Data Processing, Inc. ("ADP") which leases 34,700 square feet (16% of the total leasable area in the Property) under a lease expiring June 30, 1994. ADP has subleased approximately two-thirds of its space in the Property. The Partnership has entered into negotiations with ADP regarding a possible extension of the lease covering its portion of the space. The Partnership has also begun discussions with certain of ADP's subtenants in connection with new leases to extend the subtenants' tenancy beyond the expiration of ADP's lease. Based on current market conditions, it is likely that any lease extensions or renewals will be at lower rates than the Partnership currently receives, further adversely affecting the revenue generated by the Property. Currently, a lease for one of ADP's subtenants that occupies 8,200 square feet is close to being completed.
The General Partners leasing strategy at the Property has been to market the Property's available space to potential tenants on an "as is" basis which would not require the Partnership to make additional investments for tenant improvement construction and would enable the Partnership to conserve its limited working capital reserves. The strategy was adopted recognizing that beginning in 1994, when the original modification was to expire, the Partnership would not have sufficient resources to meet its debt service payments and did not want to jeopardize any additional investment in the Property. Leases signed on an "as is" basis are likely to be at annual rental rates substantially below existing market rates. In addition, leasing space on an "as is" basis may have put and may continue to put the Partnership at a disadvantage compared to other landlords that provide allowances for tenant improvements. The occupancy rate at the Property, which is lower than that in the surrounding area, may have been and may continue to be adversely affected by the extremely competitive nature of the Stamford real estate market and the availability of space in newer buildings in the area as compared to the Partnership's older but renovated Property.
34th Street Property
Valuation. The Partnership's investment in the leasehold interest in the 34th Street Property at acquisition was $34,883,132, excluding acquisition expenses of $728,268. The Property's appraised value as of November 1, 1986 was $39,000,000. The appraised value of the leasehold interest as of December 31, 1993 was $9,800,000 compared to appraised values of $12,500,000 at December 31, 1992 and $23,000,000 as of December 31, 1991.
Location. The 34th Street Property is located at 330 West 34th Street, New York, New York, which is between Eighth and Ninth Avenues in Manhattan's Penn Plaza district, five blocks west of the Empire State Building, one-half block west of Pennsylvania Station and three blocks east of the Jacob Javits Convention Center.
The Penn Plaza district is located in midtown Manhattan and comprises the seven-block area that surrounds Pennsylvania Station, New York City's largest transportation hub. Pennsylvania Station serves as the western terminus for the Long Island Railroad, the Manhattan terminal for the Amtrak rail system and the eastern terminus for the New Jersey Transit rail system. In addition, several major arteries of the New York City subway system have stops in and around Pennsylvania Station, providing access to passengers from the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx. Madison Square Garden, New York City's largest spectator arena, is located above Pennsylvania Station.
Site and Improvements. The 34th Street Property consists of an 18-story structure and a two-story attached annex containing in the aggregate approximately 627,000 net rentable square feet, based on current standards of measurement. The 46,413 square foot site also includes an above-ground parking area containing 39 spaces that is currently leased to an independent garage operator.
Ground Lease. Per the terms of the ground lease agreement, the annual ground lease payment to the unaffiliated ground lessor for the parcel of land underlying the 34th Street Property increased from $1.25 million to $2.25 million effective January 1, 1992. Reference is made to Note 5 to the Financial Statements, which is incorporated herein by reference thereto, for additional information on the ground lease.
Renovations. During the period from 1987 through 1993, the Partnership expended approximately $9.6 million on capitalized renovations, including tenant improvement construction, funded from cash flow, Partnership reserves, and borrowings.
Financing. On August 12, 1993, the Partnership entered into a modification of the 34th Street Line of Credit which will allow the Partnership to pay off the 34th Street Line of Credit at a substantial discount by payment of the sum of $6.5 million at any time through June 30, 1994. Should the Partnership be unable to pay off the 34th Street Line of Credit, the forbearance agreement provides that the Partnership will assign its leasehold interest to the Property to the lender, at the lender's election, in lieu of a foreclosure. Reference is made to Item 7 and Note 6 to the Financial Statements, which is incorporated herein by reference thereto, for additional information regarding the 34th Street Line of Credit.
In order further to supplement the Property's cash flow, beginning in January 1992, Mendik Realty agreed to defer its management fees of approximately $170,000 a year that would otherwise have been payable with respect to the 34th Street Property, although it had no obligation to do so. Pursuant to the forbearance agreement, these fees will continue to be deferred. The Partnership's obligation to pay the management fees deferred by Mendik Realty, will be on a non-recourse basis to the Partnership and will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate of Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York less 1.25%. Principal and interest will be payable on December 31, 2025, or such earlier date on which the term of the Partnership terminates, subject to a mandatory prepayment from the net proceeds from the sale of any of the Properties, after repayment of all debt secured by the Property sold. In addition, Mendik Realty agreed to defer its leasing commission with respect to the long-term lease with the City of New York as discussed below and any further leasing commissions associated with additional leasing activity at the Property. See Item 7.
Leasing. On February 17, 1993, the Partnership signed a long-term lease with the City of New York effective August 1, 1992 for approximately 300,000 square feet or approximately 48% of the Property's leasable area. The term of the lease is for eight years and six months expiring on February 28, 2001. The City has the right to terminate the lease without penalty provided the City gives the Partnership one year's notice of its intent to terminate the lease. The City will also be required to pay the Partnership for certain improvement costs as defined in the lease. The City will make annual base rental payments of approximately $5.4 million and will pay its proportionate share of increases in real estate taxes and operating expenses. Approximately $1.25 million has been spent by the Partnership for tenant improvement costs required under the terms of the lease. The funds utilized for such purpose had been held as security by the unaffiliated ground lessor.
The General Partners have been marketing the Property's remaining available space to light-industrial type tenants on an "as is" basis. Rental rates for light-industrial type tenants are substantially less than the rental rates received from commercial office tenants. Effective January 1, 1993, the Partnership signed a ten-year lease with Tiger Button Company, Inc. for approximately 25,000 square feet in the Property. In addition, effective July 1, 1993, the Partnership signed a nine and one-half year lease with G. Dinan & Co., Inc. for approximately 26,000 square feet. The General Partners believe that renting space on an "as is" basis to light-industrial type tenants may be an effective means to generate additional cash flow from the Property without requiring a significant current investment in tenant improvements. The Property's occupancy rates as of February 28, 1994, 1993 and 1992, were 61%, 57% and 50%, respectively. The Midtown West District, where the 34th Street Property is located has seen the vacancy rate for primary office space increase from 9.6% at December 31, 1987 to 16.2% at December 31, 1993. It should be noted that the Property's occupancy rate is not comparable with office buildings in the Midtown West District due to the Partnership's strategy of marketing space to light-industrial type tenants rather than commercial office tenants. However, the Property's occupancy rate continues to be below the average occupancy rate for office space in the area in which it is located primarily because of past uncertainty surrounding the City's tenancy, the character of the City's tenancy, the nature of the services the City provides, and the Partnership's strategy of conserving its limited resources.
Park Avenue Property
Valuation. Two Park Company, the joint venture in which the Partnership has an approximate 60% interest, acquired the Park Avenue Property for $151,500,000. The Property's appraised value as of September 1, 1987 was $165,000,000. The appraised value of the Property as of December 31, 1993 was $115,000,000, compared to appraised values of $125,000,000 as of December 31, 1992 and $135,000,000 as of December 31, 1991. The Partnership's investment in its interest in Two Park Company at acquisition was $95,965,732, including $35,820,000 which represents the Partnership's share of first mortgage debt to which the Property was subject when the Partnership acquired its interest and excluding $1,722,532 of acquisition expenses. The appraised value of the Partnership's interest in the Property as of December 31, 1993 was $68,655,000, compared to appraised values of $74,625,000 as of December 31, 1992, $80,595,000 as of December 31, 1991 and $98,505,000 as of September 1, 1987.
Location. The Park Avenue Property is located at Two Park Avenue, New York, New York, on an approximately one-acre site that occupies the entire western frontage of Park Avenue between East 32nd and East 33rd Streets in midtown Manhattan. The Park Avenue Property is located four blocks east of Pennsylvania Station and nine blocks south of Grand Central Station, New York City's largest transportation hubs. Grand Central Station serves as the Manhattan terminal for the Metro North rail system. In addition to a subway stop located below the building, several major arteries for the New York City subway system have stops in and around Grand Central Station and Pennsylvania Station, providing access to passengers from the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx.
Site and Improvements. The improvements to the Park Avenue Property consist of a 28-story office building that contains approximately 956,000 net rentable square feet, based on current standards of measurement. The building includes two lower levels consisting of a subway concourse, a small tenant garage containing approximately 43 spaces, rentable storage areas and mechanical facilities.
Renovations. During the period from 1987 through 1993, a total of approximately $39.7 million was capitalized by Two Park Company on renovations.
Financing. Reference is made to Note 6 to the Financial Statements, which is incorporated herein by reference thereto, for information regarding the non-recourse first mortgage, non-recourse second mortgage and non-recourse third mortgage secured by the Park Avenue Property which aggregate $75 million.
Leasing. The Property's occupancy rates as of February 28, 1994, 1993 and 1992, were 89%, 90% and 92%, respectively. The vacancy rate for primary office space in the Grand Central District of Midtown Manhattan, where the Park Avenue Property is located, has increased from 10.2% at December 31, 1987 to 18.4% at December 31, 1992. At December 31, 1993, the vacancy rate in the Grand Central District had declined slightly to 17.6%. During 1994, the General Partners will continue to market the Property's available space to commercial office tenants.
Major tenants at the Park Avenue Property are Times Mirror Magazines, Inc. and its affiliate Newsday, Inc. which, in the aggregate, lease 259,043 square feet (approximately 27% of the total leasable area in the Property) under two leases expiring on June 30, 2004 and National Benefit Life Insurance Company which leases 99,800 square feet (approximately 10% of the total leasable area in the Property) under a lease expiring on May 30, 1998. The base rental income under the leases with Times Mirror Magazines, Inc. and Newsday, Inc., and National Benefit Life Insurance Company represented approximately 18% and 8%, respectively, of the Partnership's consolidated rental income in 1993.

PART II
Item 5.

Item 5. Market for the Partnership's Limited Partnership Units and Related Security Holder Matters
As of December 31, 1993, there were 19,815 holders of Units. No public trading market has developed for the Units, and it is not anticipated that such a market will develop in the future. The transfer of Units is subject to significant restrictions, including the requirement that an Investor Limited Partner may transfer his Units only with the consent of the General Partners, which consent may be withheld in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partners.
During the first quarter of 1989, a decision was made by the General Partners to establish reserves in the amount of what would otherwise be Net Cash From Operations to help meet anticipated Partnership requirements. For the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, no distributions were paid to the Partners, and the Partnership does not contemplate making any distributions during 1994. See Item 7 of this Report.
Item 6.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data
The following financial data of the Partnership has been selected by the General Partners and derived from financial statements which have been audited by KPMG Peat Marwick, independent public accountants whose report thereon is included elsewhere herein. The information set forth below should be read in conjunction with the Partnership's financial statements and notes thereto and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," also included elsewhere herein.
Item 7.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The commercial real estate market in the Greater New York Metropolitan Area remains weak. As vacancy rates have risen, increased competition among landlords has led to lower rents and increasingly generous tenant concession packages in the form of tenant improvements and free-rent periods. The significant cost of tenant improvements required to be funded under both new and renewal leases has sharply increased the demand for capital by landlords, including the Partnership. Expenditures for tenant improvements have contributed to the Partnership's reduced liquidity. In order to conserve the Partnership's limited resources, the General Partners have pursued a strategy intended to position each of the Partnership's four properties, to the extent possible, to meet its operating and other expenses as they come due using only the operating income generated by that Property, and, if necessary, proceeds from borrowings secured by such Property.
During 1993, the Partnership funded operating costs, the cost of tenant improvements, leasing commissions, and building capital improvements from five sources: (i) positive cash flow generated by the approximately 60% joint venture interest in the Park Avenue Property and the Partnership's leasehold interest in the Saxon Woods Corporate Center, (ii) Partnership reserves, (iii) funds provided by certain unsecured loans and the deferral of property management fees by certain affiliates of the General Partners, (iv) additional borrowings from the $6.5 million Saxon Woods Line of Credit and (v) a portion of the $1.25 million security deposit maintained by the unaffiliated ground lessor for the 34th Street Property. It is expected that the availability of funds from certain of these sources will be reduced in the future.
Park Avenue Property - Although the Partnership has continued to lease space at the Property, with the continuing softness in the real estate market, new and renewal leases generally have been signed at rental rates significantly less than the rental rates received on certain expiring leases. The Property's cash flow, however, is expected to remain stable for the foreseeable future because rental rate increases negotiated in leases signed in earlier years have offset the lower market rental rates reflected in the leases recently signed by the Partnership.
At December 31, 1993, the unrestricted cash balance at the Property was approximately $5 million over and above a reserve for real estate taxes. The Park Avenue Property currently generates, and is expected to generate in the future, sufficient revenue to cover operating expenses and debt service obligations. The indebtedness secured by the Park Avenue Property currently matures in 1998 (or 1996 at the option of the lender). The Partnership expects, as the maturity of the loan approaches, to commence negotiations to extend the existing loan or to seek refinancing. However, as a result of the current lack of liquidity in the financial marketplace, no assurances can be made that the Partnership will be able to extend with the existing lender or refinance with a new lender, on terms acceptable to the Partnership or at all.
Saxon Woods Corporate Center - The Partnership expects that cash flow from the Saxon Woods Corporate Center will cover operating expenses and debt service obligations in 1994. Although the Saxon Woods Line of Credit is in the amount of up to $6.5 million, as a result of Section 13(d) (xviii) of the Partnership Agreement which prohibits the Partnership from incurring indebtedness secured by a Property in excess of 40% of the then-appraised value of such Property (or 40% of the value of such Property as determined by the lender as of the date of financing or refinancing, if such value is lower) (the "Borrowing Limitation"), the Partnership is permitted to borrow only $6 million based on the most recent appraisal of the Saxon Woods Corporate Center which as of December 31, 1993 was $15 million. The loan agreement provides that all available cash flow from the Property will be used for expenses incurred at the Property prior to borrowing any additional funds under the Saxon Woods Line of Credit. The General Partners expect that additional leasing activity, the costs of which partially will be funded by borrowing amounts remaining available under the Saxon Woods Line of Credit, may result in an increase in the appraised value of the Property thereby enabling the Partnership to borrow the additional amounts available under the Saxon Woods Line of Credit up to the full amount of $6.5 million. There can be no assurance that future appraisals will reflect an increase in the Property's value which would enable the Partnership to borrow additional funds. As of
December 31, 1993, the Partnership had borrowed $4,542,677 under the Saxon Woods Line of Credit. In January 1994 the Partnership borrowed an additional $138,000 and had made commitments to borrow an additional $362,000 which would increase the total borrowings on the Saxon Woods Line of Credit to $5,042,677.
The indebtedness secured by the Saxon Woods Corporate Center currently matures in 1996. The Partnership expects, as the maturity of the loan approaches, to commence negotiations to extend the existing loan or to seek refinancing. However, as a result of the current lack of liquidity in the financial marketplace, no assurances can be made that the Partnership will be able to extend with the existing lender or refinance with a new lender, on terms acceptable to the Partnership or at all.
34th Street Property - On February 17, 1993, the Partnership signed a long-term lease with the City of New York effective August 1, 1992 for approximately 300,000 square feet in the 34th Street Property. The City has the right to terminate the lease without penalty provided the City gives the Partnership one year's notice of its intent to terminate the lease. The City will also be required to pay the Partnership for certain improvement costs as defined in the lease. The terms of the lease call for the City to make annual base rental payments of approximately $5.4 million and pay its proportionate share of increases in real estate taxes and operating expenses. Per the terms of the lease, approximately $1.25 million is being spent by the Partnership for tenant improvements required under the terms of the lease. In order to fund the tenant improvements required by the City lease, the Partnership negotiated an agreement with the unaffiliated ground lessor pursuant to which the ground lessor agreed to make available the $1.25 million that was being held as security under the ground lease. As of December 31, 1993, virtually all of these funds had been spent. The ground lessor also agreed to waive the lease requirement that the Partnership deposit an additional $1 million as security with the ground lessor in connection with the increase in the annual ground rent in 1992 to $2.25 million.
During 1992, the cash flow from the 34th Street Property did not cover its debt service obligations after payment of operating expenses, and it was not expected to meet its debt service obligations in 1993. As a result, in order to conserve the Partnership's limited working capital reserves and induce The First National Bank of Chicago ("FNBC"), the Property's lender, to modify the mortgage's terms, the Partnership suspended its interest payments to FNBC beginning in September 1992. On August 12, 1993, the Partnership entered into a forbearance agreement which modified the terms of the 34th Street Line of Credit. Pursuant to the forbearance agreement FNBC agreed to forbear through June 30, 1994 from exercising its remedies under the loan agreement as a result of the Partnership's failure to pay interest. The forbearance agreement will also allow the Partnership to pay off the 34th Street Line of Credit for $6.5 million at any time through June 30, 1994, a substantial discount to the 34th Street Line of Credit's current outstanding balance and below the Property's December 31, 1993 appraised value of $9.8 million. As of December 31, 1993, there was $15 million of principal and approximately $1.3 million of accrued interest outstanding on the 34th Street Line of Credit. Also through June 30, 1994, the Partnership will be permitted to make interest payments to FNBC only to the extent of available cash flow from the 34th Street Property. Since the forbearance agreement went into effect, the Partnership has not made any interest payments to FNBC. The General Partners are seeking to obtain either debt or equity financing even if such financing would entail the Partnership's transferring all or a portion of its interest in the Property to the party providing the financing. In the event the Partnership obtains from a third party an offer to provide financing of less than the $6.5 million required by FNBC, the Partnership would explore with FNBC a pay off at a further discount. Should the Partnership be unable to pay off the 34th Street Line of Credit by June 30, 1994, the forbearance agreement provides that the Partnership will assign its interest in the Property and in the ground lease to the Property to FNBC, at FNBC's election, in lieu of foreclosure. The forbearance agreement with FNBC provides the Partnership with an opportunity to pay off the 34th Street Line of Credit at a substantial discount while at the same time establishing a cost-effective means to ensure an orderly and efficient transfer of the Property to FNBC in the event the 34th Street Line of Credit cannot be paid off. The Partnership has no assurances that it will be able to obtain the financing necessary to pay off the 34th Street Line of Credit and any such pay off will depend on numerous factors including general market conditions. Chief among these is the fact that many traditional sources of real estate financing such as banks, insurance companies and pension funds have dramatically curtailed their investment in commercial office properties. Consequently, only a limited number of investors is likely to be available, further hampering the Partnership's ability to secure a refinancing. Should the Partnership be unable to complete a refinancing, it will likely result in the loss of the Partnership's investment in the Property.
In order to improve the 34th Street Property's cash flow, beginning in January 1992, Mendik Realty voluntarily agreed to defer its management fees of approximately $170,000 a year that would otherwise have been payable with respect to the 34th Street Property. In addition, Mendik Realty agreed to defer its leasing commission with respect to the signing of the long-term lease with the City of New York and any further leasing commissions associated with additional leasing activity at the Property. Both of these provisions will remain in effect pursuant to the terms of the forbearance agreement with FNBC.
The forbearance agreement requires the Partnership to deposit all receipts from the Property into a lockbox at FNBC. FNBC will approve all releases from the lockbox to fund Property costs. As of December 31, 1993, approximately $1 million was in the lockbox account maintained at FNBC which was utilized to fund real estate taxes due in January 1994.
Stamford Property - As described in Note 6 to the Financial Statements, the Partnership previously restructured the loan secured by the Stamford Property in 1991. As part of the terms of the restructured loan, Mendik Corporation and an affiliate of NYRES1 loaned $50,000 and $110,000, respectively, to the Partnership in each of 1991, 1992 and 1993. The loans were required to be deposited in an escrow account and may be used only to pay costs and expenses related to the Stamford Property. Mendik Realty also agreed to defer its management fees of approximately $70,000 a year in connection with the Stamford Property in each of calendar years 1991, 1992 and 1993.
The restructuring was intended to enable the Stamford Property to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its operating expenses and debt service obligations through 1993 without utilizing the Partnership's working capital reserves in the hope that the Stamford real estate market would recover and that, as leases at the Property expired, the Partnership would be able to enter into new or renewal leases at rental rates in excess of the rates being paid by existing tenants under current leases. However, the Stamford real estate market has continued to deteriorate resulting in a further erosion of market lease rates. While the cash flow from the Stamford Property, together with the loans by Mendik Corporation and an affiliate of NYRES1 and the management fee deferrals by Mendik Realty, were sufficient to cover the Property's operating expenses and debt service obligations in 1993, due to a decline in the Property's revenue following the extension of D&B's lease, the Partnership failed to make full payment of debt service due on February 10, 1994 and March 10, 1994 with respect to the Stamford Loan. In order to preserve its limited working capital reserves, the Partnership currently does not intend to fund any operating shortfalls out of reserves. As a result of the Partnership's failure to make these interest payments, the Partnership is in default under the terms of the Stamford Loan and the property's lender, New York Life Insurance Company ("New York Life"), may elect to exercise its remedies under the loan agreement including accelerating the maturity date of the principal balance of the loan and electing to foreclose on its mortgage. The General Partners are now seeking a short-term agreement from New York Life, pursuant to which New York Life would forbear from exercising its remedies under the Stamford Loan and Mendik Realty would continue to defer its management fees and leasing commissions with respect to the Property. The Partnership would then attempt to sell the Property during the forbearance period. However, in light of the fact that the appraised value of the Property at December 31, 1993 was less than the mortgage, and New York Life is unlikely to accept a pay off of its mortgage at a discount, it is unlikely that such a sale would result in any cash proceeds being available for distribution. If the Partnership were unable to sell the Property and pay off the Stamford Loan within the forbearance period, the Partnership would transfer the deed in lieu of a foreclosure in order to provide an orderly and efficient transfer of title to the Property to New York Life.
During the latter part of 1992, the General Partners concluded that the Partnership may be unable to hold the 34th Street Property and the Stamford Property on a long-term basis. As a result, the Partnership determined to account for each Property as held for disposition. Accordingly, as of December 31, 1993, these Properties are being carried at the lower of their depreciated cost or estimated market value resulting in the Partnership's recording an unrealized loss of approximately $43.2 million in 1992 and an additional $4.2 million loss in 1993.
Cash Reserves - The Partnership's consolidated cash reserves decreased by $82,686 to $10,346,684 at December 31, 1993 from $10,429,370 at December 31, 1992. During 1993, approximately $2.8 million was expended for property improvements at the Park Avenue and 34th Street Properties, and Saxon Woods Corporate Center. These expenditures were offset by approximately $1.4 million in additional borrowings under the Saxon Woods Line of Credit and approximately $1.4 million of cash flow from operations which includes the release of the previously-restricted security deposit held by the 34th Street Property's unaffiliated ground lessor. In addition to the cash reserves, at December 31, 1993, the Partnership had $2,390,734 in restricted cash under various agreements including the FNBC lockbox required under the forbearance agreement. As a result of the additional borrowings under the Saxon Woods Line of Credit, mortgage notes payable increased from $105,654,502 at December 31, 1992 to $107,042,677 at December 31, 1993 on a consolidated basis.
Results of Operations
1993 vs. 1992 During the year ended December 31, 1993, the Partnership realized operating income before non-cash expenses, on a consolidated basis, of approximately $1,541,000 as compared to operating income of approximately $2,454,000 for the corresponding period in 1992.
As a result of the Partnership's decision to carry the 34th Street Property and Stamford Property at the lower of their depreciated cost or estimated market value, the Partnership recorded an unrealized loss on properties held for disposition of $4,240,608 and $43,166,559 for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Including the unrealized losses, the Partnership sustained a net loss after depreciation and amortization of $11,406,548 for the year ended December 31, 1993 as compared to $52,415,692, for 1992. If the Partnership had not recorded the unrealized losses in 1993 and 1992, the Partnership would have recorded losses of $7,165,940 and $9,249,133 for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
Consolidated rental income for the year ended December 31, 1993 was $34,333,599 as compared with $34,094,669 for the corresponding period in 1992. Consolidated rental income remained stable from 1992 to 1993 as the income from the new leases signed in the Saxon Woods Corporate Center offset a decline in rental income from the Two Park Avenue Property that resulted from leases being renewed at the lower market rental rates. Consolidated interest income for 1993 was $282,740 as compared to $342,409 for the corresponding period in 1992. The decline is due to lower interest rates earned on the Partnership's cash balance and the Partnership's maintaining a lower average cash balance during 1993.
Consolidated property operating expenses for 1993 increased slightly from 1992. Depreciation and amortization decreased in 1993 primarily due to the reduction in the carrying value of the 34th Street Property and Stamford Property effective December 31, 1992. Interest expense increased slightly during 1993 from the corresponding period in 1992 due to the increase in the principal balance outstanding under the Saxon Woods Line of Credit.
1992 vs. 1991
During 1992, the Partnership realized operating income before non-cash expenses, on a consolidated basis, of approximately $2,454,000 as compared to approximately $3,472,000 in 1991.
As a result of the Partnership's decision to carry the 34th Street Property and Stamford Property at the lower of their cost or market value, the Partnership recorded an unrealized loss on properties held for disposition of $43,166,559. Including the unrealized loss, the Partnership sustained a net loss after depreciation and amortization of $52,415,692 for the year ended December 31, 1992. If the Partnership had not recorded the unrealized loss, the Partnership would have recorded a net loss after depreciation and amortization of $9,249,133 for the year ended December 31, 1992 as compared to a net loss of $8,062,874 for the year ended December 31, 1991.
Consolidated rental income for the year ended December 31, 1992 decreased by approximately 5% or $1,612,082 from the year ended December 31, 1991 primarily as a result of a decline in occupancy at the Park Avenue Property. Consolidated interest income for the year ended December 31, 1992 decreased by $268,988 from the year ended December 31, 1991 due to lower interest rates earned on the Partnership's cash balance and the Partnership's maintaining a lower average cash balance during 1992.
Consolidated property operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 1992 were virtually unchanged from the year ended December 31, 1991. It should be noted that although the annual ground lease rent for the 34th Street Property increased by $1 million, pursuant to the terms of the Property's ground lease, such increase was more than offset by reductions in property maintenance expenses at the four Properties. Interest expense during 1992 was also virtually unchanged from 1991 due to a decrease in the interest rate on the 34th Street Line of Credit which was offset by an increase in the principal balance outstanding under the Saxon Woods Line of Credit. Consolidated general and administrative expenses decreased by $260,962 from 1991 to 1992 primarily due to reduced legal fees.

NYRES1
NYRES1 is a Delaware Corporation formed on September 9, 1985, and is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Lehman Brothers, Inc. ("Lehman").
On July 31, 1993, Shearson Lehman Brothers, Inc. ("Shearson") sold certain of its domestic retail brokerage and asset management businesses to Smith Barney, Harris Upham & Co. Incorporated ("Smith Barney"). Subsequent to the sale, Shearson changed its name to Lehman Brothers Inc. The transaction did not affect the ownership of the Partnership or the General Partners. However, the assets acquired by Smith Barney included the name "Hutton." Consequently, effective October 22, 1993, Hutton Real Estate Services XV, Inc. changed its name to NY Real Estate Services 1 Inc. to delete any references to "Hutton."
Pursuant to Section 22(b) of the Partnership Agreement, an affiliate of Lehman has contributed to the capital of NYRES1 $2.5 million in the form of a demand promissory note, which represents the only substantial asset of NYRES1. Such affiliate has a net worth in excess of such amount.
Certain officers and directors of NYRES1 are now serving (or in the past have served) as officers or directors of entities which act as general partners of a number of real estate limited partnerships which have sought protection under the provisions of the Federal Bankruptcy Code. The partnerships which have filed bankruptcy petitions own real estate which has been adversely affected by the economic conditions in the markets in which the real estate is located and, consequently, the partnerships sought the protection of the bankruptcy laws to protect the partnerships' assets from loss through foreclosure.
The executive officers and sole director of NYRES1 (none of whom has a family relationship with another) are:
Name 		Age 	Office
Kenneth L. Zakin 46 	Director and President Mark Sawicki 	31 	Vice President and Chief Financial Officer

From January 1985 through November 1988, Mr. Zakin was a Vice President of Shearson Lehman Brothers Inc. Mr. Zakin is a member of the Bar of the State of New York and previously practiced as an attorney in New York City from 1973 to 1984 specializing in the financing, acquisition, disposition, syndication and restructuring of real estate transactions.

Pursuant to Section 12 of the Partnership Agreement, Mendik Realty has agreed to limit its payment of leasing commissions at any Property in any year to not more than 3% of the gross operating revenues of that Property in such year less leasing commissions paid to other brokers in connection with that Property in such year. Any excess will be deferred but is payable only if and to the extent such limit is not exceeded in the year paid. As of December 31, 1993, there was a contingent liability of approximately $316,337 to Mendik Realty as a result of leasing commissions earned in prior periods from the 34th Street Property and Park Avenue Property. There is no such contingent liability with respect to any of the other Properties. During 1993, the Partnership paid $454,373 to Mendik Realty, on a consolidated basis, in connection with leasing commissions earned in prior periods from the Park Avenue Property.
TBC, a former affiliate of NYRES1, provides partnership accounting services and investor relations services to the Partnership. In May 1993, TBC was sold to Mellon Bank Corporation and is no longer an affiliate of NYRES1.

During 1994, Mendik Realty will continue to defer fees and leasing commissions in connection with the Stamford Property and 34th Street Property. See the information under the captions "Stamford Property" and "34th Street Property" in Item 2 of this Report. See Note 8 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991
1. Organization
Mendik Real Estate Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") was organized as a limited partnership under the laws of the State of New York pursuant to a Certificate and Agreement of Limited Partnership dated and filed October 30, 1985 (the "Partnership Agreement") and subsequently amended and restated on February 25, 1986. The Partnership was formed for the purpose of acquiring, maintaining and operating income producing commercial office buildings in the Greater New York Metropolitan Area. The general partners of the Partnership are Mendik Corporation and NYRES1 (See below). The Partnership will continue until December 31, 2025, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement. The Partnership offered Class A units to taxable investors and Class B units to tax exempt investors.
On July 31, 1993, Shearson Lehman Brothers Inc. sold certain of its domestic retail brokerage and asset management businesses to Smith Barney, Harris Upham & Co. Incorporated ("Smith Barney"). Subsequent to the sale, Shearson Lehman Brothers Inc. changed its name to Lehman Brothers Inc. The transaction did not affect the ownership of the general partners. However, the assets acquired by Smith Barney included the name "Hutton." Consequently, effective October 22, 1993, Hutton Real Estate Services XV, Inc., a general partner, changed its name to NY Real Estate Services 1 Inc. ("NYRES1") to delete any reference to "Hutton."
2. Liquidity
The commercial real estate market in the Greater New York Metropolitan Area remains weak. As vacancy rates continue to rise, increased competition among landlords has led to lower rents and increasingly generous tenant concession packages in the form of tenant improvements and free-rent periods. The significant cost of tenant improvements required to be funded under both new and renewal leases has sharply increased the demand for capital by landlords, including the Partnership. Expenditures for tenant improvements have contributed to the Partnership's reduced liquidity. In order to conserve the Partnership's limited resources, the General Partners have pursued a strategy intended to position each of the Partnership's four properties, to the extent possible, to meet its operating and other expenses as they come due using only the operating income generated by that property, and if necessary, proceeds from borrowings secured by such property.
During 1993, the Partnership funded operating costs, the cost of tenant improvements, leasing commissions and building capital improvements from five sources: (i) positive cash flow generated by the approximately 60% joint venture interest in the Park Avenue Property and the Partnership's leasehold interest in the Saxon Woods Corporate Center, (ii) Partnership reserves, (iii) funds provided by certain unsecured loans and the deferral of property management fees by certain affiliates of the General Partners, (iv) additional borrowings from the $6.5 million Saxon Woods Line of Credit and (v) a portion of the $1.25 million security deposit maintained by the unaffiliated ground lessor for the 330 West 34th Street Property. It is expected that the availability of funds from some of these sources will be reduced in the future.
Park Avenue Property - Although the Partnership has continued to lease space at the Property, with the continuing softness in the real estate market, new and renewal leases generally have been signed at rental rates significantly less than the rental rates received on certain expiring leases. The Property's cash flow, however, is expected to remain stable for the foreseeable future because rental rate increases negotiated in leases signed in earlier years have offset the lower market rental rates reflected in the leases recently signed by the Partnership.
At December 31, 1993, the unrestricted cash balance at the Property was approximately $5 million over and above a reserve for real estate taxes. The Park Avenue Property currently generates, and is expected to generate in the future, sufficient revenue to cover operating expenses and debt service obligations. The indebtedness secured by the Park Avenue Property currently matures in 1998 (or 1996 at the option of the lender). The Partnership expects, as the maturity of the loan approaches, to commence negotiations to extend the existing loan or to seek refinancing. However, as a result of the current lack of liquidity in the financial marketplace, no assurances can be made that the Partnership will be able to extend with the existing lender or refinance with a new lender, on terms acceptable to the Partnership or at all.
The property was 89% and 90% occupied at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
Saxon Woods Corporate Center - The Partnership expects that cash flow from the Saxon Woods Corporate Center will cover operating expenses and debt service obligations in 1994. Although the Saxon Woods Line of Credit is in the amount of up to $6.5 million, as a result of Section 13(d) (xviii) of the Partnership Agreement which prohibits the Partnership from incurring indebtedness secured by a Property in excess of 40% of the then-appraised value of such Property (or 40% of the value of such Property as determined by the lender as of the date of financing or refinancing, if such value is lower) (the "Borrowing Limitation"), the Partnership is permitted to borrow only $6 million based upon the most recent appraisal of the Saxon Woods Corporate Center which as of December 31, 1993 was $15 million. The loan agreement provides that all available cash flow from the Saxon Woods Corporate Center will be used for expenses incurred at the Saxon Woods Corporate Center prior to borrowing additional funds under the Saxon Woods Line of Credit. The General Partners expect that additional leasing activity, the costs of which will be partially funded by borrowing amounts remaining available under the Saxon Woods Line of Credit, may result in an increase in the appraised value of the Property thereby enabling the Partnership to borrow the additional amounts available under the Saxon Woods Line of Credit up to the full amount of $6.5 million. There can be no assurance that future appraisals will reflect an increase in the Property's value which would enable the Partnership to borrow additional funds. As of December 31, 1993, the Partnership had borrowed $4,542,677 under the Saxon Woods Line of Credit. In January 1994 the Partnership borrowed an additional $138,000 and had made commitments to borrow an additional $362,000 which would increase the total borrowings on the Saxon Woods Line of Credit to $5,042,677.
The indebtedness secured by the Saxon Woods Corporate Center currently matures in 1996. The Partnership expects, as the maturity of the loan approaches, to commence negotiations to extend the existing loan or to seek refinancing. However, as a result of the current lack of liquidity in the financial marketplace, no assurances can be made that the Partnership will be able to extend with the existing lender or refinance with a new lender, on terms acceptable to the Partnership or at all.
The property was 72% and 67% occupied at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
34th Street Property - On February 17, 1993, the Partnership signed a long-term lease with the City of New York effective August 1, 1992 for approximately 300,000 square feet in the 34th Street Property. The terms of the lease call for the City to make annual base rental payments of approximately $5.4 million and pay its proportionate share of increases in real estate taxes and operating expenses. Approximately $1.25 million is being spent by the Partnership for tenant improvements under the terms of the lease. As of December 31, 1993 virtually all of these funds have been spent. In order to fund the tenant improvements required by the City lease, the Partnership negotiated an agreement with the unaffiliated ground lessor pursuant to which the ground lessor agreed to make available the $1.25 million that was being held as security under the ground lease. The ground lessor also agreed to waive the lease requirement that the Partnership deposit an additional $1 million as security with the ground lessor in connection with the increase in the annual ground rent in 1992 to $2.25 million.
In order to improve the 34th Street Property's cash flow, beginning in January 1992, Mendik Realty Company, Inc. ("Mendik Realty"), an affiliate of Mendik Corporation, voluntarily agreed to defer its management fees of approximately $170,000 a year that would otherwise have been payable with respect to the 34th Street Property. The Partnership's obligation to pay the management fees deferred by Mendik Realty, will be on a non-recourse basis to the Partnership and will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate of Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York less 1.25%. Principal and interest will be payable on December 31, 2025, or such earlier date on which the term of the Partnership terminates, subject to a mandatory prepayment from the net proceeds from the sale of any of the Properties, after repayment of all debt secured by the Property sold. In addition, Mendik Realty agreed to defer its leasing commission in the amount of $153,182 with respect to the signing of the long-term lease with the City of New York and any further leasing commissions associated with additional leasing activity at the Property. Both of these provisions will remain in effect pursuant to the terms of the forbearance agreement with The First National Bank of Chicago ("FNBC") (see below). Additionally, the forbearance agreement gives FNBC control of the property's cash flow by requiring the Partnership to maintain a lockbox at FNBC. FNBC will approve all releases of funds from the lockbox. As of December 31, 1993, approximately $1 million was on deposit in the lockbox account maintained by FNBC.
During 1992, the cash flow from the 34th Street Property did not cover its debt service obligations after payment of operating expenses, and it was not expected to meet its debt service obligations in 1993. As a result, in order to conserve the Partnership's limited working capital reserves and induce FNBC, the Property's lender, to modify the mortgage's terms, the Partnership suspended its interest payments to FNBC beginning in September 1992. On August 12, 1993, the Partnership entered into a forbearance agreement which modified the terms of the 34th Street Line of Credit. Pursuant to the forbearance agreement, FNBC agreed to forbear through June 30, 1994 from exercising its remedies under the loan agreement as a result of the Partnership's failure to pay interest. The forbearance agreement will also allow the Partnership to pay off the 34th Street Line of Credit for $6.5 million, a substantial discount to the current outstanding balance, at any time through June 30, 1994. As of December 31, 1993, there was $15 million of principal and approximately $1.3 million of accrued interest outstanding on the 34th Street Line of Credit. Also through June 30, 1994, the Partnership will be permitted to make interest payments to FNBC only to the extent of available cash flow from the 34th Street Property. Since the forbearance agreement went into effect, the Partnership has not made any interest payments to FNBC. The General Partners are seeking to obtain either debt or equity financing even if such financing would entail the Partnership's transferring all or a portion of its interest in the Property to the party providing the financing. In the event the Partnership obtains from a third party an offer to provide financing of less than the $6.5 million required by FNBC, the Partnership would explore with FNBC a pay off at a further discount. As of December 31, 1993, the 34th Street Property's appraised value was $9.8 million. Should the Partnership be unable to pay off the 34th Street Line of Credit by June 30, 1994, the forbearance agreement provides that the Partnership will assign its interest in the property and in the ground lease to the Property to FNBC, at FNBC's election, in lieu of foreclosure. The forbearance agreement with FNBC provides the Partnership with an opportunity to pay off the 34th Street Line of Credit at a substantial discount while at the same time establishing a cost-effective means to ensure an orderly and efficient transfer of the Property to FNBC in the event the 34th Street Line of Credit cannot be paid off. The Partnership has no assurances that it will be able to obtain the financing necessary to pay off the 34th Street Line of Credit and any such pay off will depend on numerous factors including general market conditions. Chief among these is the fact that many traditional sources of real estate financing such as banks, insurance companies and pension funds have dramatically curtailed their investment in commercial office properties. Consequently, only a limited number of investors is likely to be available, further hampering the Partnership's ability to secure a refinancing. Should the Partnership be unable to complete a refinancing, it might result in the loss of the Partnership's investment in the Property.
The property was 64% and 50% occupied at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
Stamford Property - The Partnership previously restructured the loan secured by the Stamford Property in 1991. As part of the terms of the restructured loan, Mendik Corporation and an affiliate of NYRES1 loaned in each of 1991, 1992 and 1993 $50,000 and $110,000, respectively, to the Partnership. The loans were required to be deposited in an escrow account and may be used only to pay costs and expenses related to the Stamford Property. Mendik Realty also agreed to defer its management fees of approximately $70,000 a year in connection with the Stamford Property in each of calendar years 1991, 1992 and 1993.
The restructuring was intended to enable the Stamford Property to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its operating expenses and debt service obligations through 1993 without utilizing the Partnership's working capital reserves in the hope that the Stamford real estate market would recover and that, as leases at the Property expired, the Partnership would be able to enter into new or renewal leases at rental rates in excess of the rates being paid by existing tenants under current leases. However, the Stamford real estate market has continued to deteriorate resulting in a further erosion of market lease rates. While the cash flow from the Stamford Property, together with the loans by Mendik Corporation and an affiliate of NYRES1 and the management fee deferrals by Mendik Realty, were sufficient to cover the Property's operating expenses and debt service obligations in 1993, due to a decline in the Property's revenue following the extension of D&B Computing Services, Inc.'s ("D&B") lease, the Partnership failed to make full payment of debt service due on February 10, 1994 and March 10, 1994 with respect to the Stamford Loan. In order to preserve its limited working capital reserves, the Partnership currently does not intend to fund any operating shortfalls out of reserves. As a result of the Partnership's failure to make these interest payments, the Partnership is in default under the terms of the Stamford Loan and the Property's lender, New York Life Insurance Company ("New York Life"), may elect to exercise its remedies under the loan agreement including accelerating the maturity date of the principal balance of the loan and electing to foreclose on its mortgage. The General Partners are now seeking a short-term agreement from New York Life, pursuant to which New York Life would forbear from exercising its remedies under the Stamford Loan and Mendik
Net Loss Per Limited Partnership Unit. Net loss per limited partnership unit is based upon the limited partnership units outstanding during the year and the loss allocated to the limited partners in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement.
4. The Partnership Agreement
The Partnership Agreement provides that the net cash from operations, as defined, for each fiscal year will be distributed on a quarterly basis, 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the general partners (as defined) until each limited partner has received an amount equal to an 8% annual preferred return. The net cash from operations will then be distributed, 99% to the special limited partner, Bernard H. Mendik, and 1% to Mendik Corporation until the special limited partner has received his special preferred return (as defined). Thereafter, net cash from operations will be distributed 85% to the limited partners, 14% to the special limited partner and 1% to the general partners.
Net proceeds from sales or refinancing will be distributed first to the limited partners until each limited partner has received an 8% cumulative annual return (as defined) and then an additional amount equal to his adjusted capital contribution (as defined). Second, the net proceeds from sale or refinancing will be distributed 99% to the special limited partner and 1% to the Mendik Corporation until the special limited partner has received any shortfall on his special cumulative return (as defined). Third, the net proceeds will be distributed to the general partners until the general partners have received their deferred incentive shares (as defined). Thereafter, net proceeds will be distributed 75% to the limited partners, 20.33% to the special limited partner and 4.67% to the general partners.
Taxable income and all depreciation for any fiscal year shall be allocated in substantially the same manner as net cash from operations except that depreciation allocated to the limited partners will be allocated solely to the Class A units (for taxable investors). Tax losses for any fiscal year will generally be allocated to the limited partners and special limited partner to the extent of their positive capital accounts and then 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the general partners.
5. Real Estate Investments
The major tenants described below represented 49% of the Partnership's rental income in 1993. See Note 2 for leasing activity.
The Stamford Property. In 1985, the Partnership acquired the Stamford Property, a ten-story office building containing approximately 220,000 net rentable square feet (based on current standards of measurement) and an attached parking garage located on 1351 Washington Blvd. in Stamford, Connecticut. The purchase price of the property was $31,250,000. The property was appraised at $9,150,000 at December 31, 1993 as compared to $10,600,000 at December 31, 1992.
Major tenants at the Stamford Property are Electronic Information Systems which leases 25,846 square feet (12% of the total leasable area in the property) under a lease expiring March 31, 1998, D&B which leases 43,100 square feet (20% of the total leasable area in the property) under a lease expiring December 31, 1993, Automatic Data Processing, Inc. ("ADP") which leases 34,700 square feet (16% of the total leasable area in the property) under a lease expiring June 30, 1994 and Wyatt Company, Inc. which leases, but does not occupy, 17,000 square feet (8% of the total leasable area in the property) under a lease expiring August 31, 1995. ADP has subleased approximately 69% of its space.
The Saxon Woods Corporate Center. In 1986, the Partnership acquired Saxon Woods Corporate Center, two office buildings located in Harrison, New York containing an aggregate of approximately 237,000 net rentable square feet (based on current standards of measurement), from an affiliate of the Partnership.
The property was purchased by the affiliate for the purpose of facilitating the acquisition by the Partnership. The purchase price of $21,282,805 was paid from the proceeds of the Partnership's offering and consisted of the purchase price to the affiliate plus the acquisition and closing costs and costs associated with carrying the property.
The buildings are situated on a 15.28 acre site which is subject to two ground leases, each of which terminates in September 2027 and provides the lessee with the option to renew for two 25-year periods and one 39-year period.
Each ground lease provides for an annual net rental of $170,000 with an increase of $20,000 every five years, commencing January 1996. The property was appraised at $15,000,000 at December 31, 1993 as compared to $14,000,000 at December 31, 1992.
Major tenants at the Saxon Woods Corporate Center are Commodity Quotations which leases 24,540 square feet (10% of the total leasable area) under leases expiring October 31, 2001 and October 31, 1998. Commodity Quotations has the option to cancel the lease expiring October 31, 2001 at the end of the seventh year, October 23, 1998. Icon Capital Corp. leases 29,040 square feet (12% of the total leasable area) under a lease expiring November 30, 2004. Commodity Quotations and Icon Capital Corp represented approximately 13% and 16%, respectively, of the property's rental income in 1993.
The 34th Street Property. In 1987, the Partnership acquired the 34th Street Property, an eighteen-story office building containing approximately 627,000 net rentable square feet (based on current standards of measurement) from an affiliate of the Partnership. The building was purchased by the affiliate for the purpose of facilitating the acquisition by the Partnership. The purchase price of $35,611,400 consisted of the purchase price to the affiliate plus the acquisition and closing costs and costs associated with carrying the property. The building is situated on a 46,413 square foot site.
The parcel of land underlying the 34th Street Property is leased from an unaffiliated third party pursuant to a ground lease with an initial term ending on December 31, 1999 that provided for annual lease payments of $1.25 million through December 31, 1991 and requires annual lease payments of $2.25 million for the remaining eight years. The ground lease may be renewed at the option of the Partnership for successive terms of 21, 30, 30, 30 and 39 years at annual rentals, determined at the commencement of each renewal term, equal to 7% of the then-market value of the land considered as if vacant, unimproved and unencumbered, valued at the highest and best use under then-applicable zoning and other land use regulations as office, hotel or residential property, but in no event less than the higher of (i) $2.75 million or (ii) the base rent for any consecutive 12-month period during the then-preceding renewal term. The property was appraised at $9,800,000 at December 31, 1993. The appraised value at December 31, 1992 was $12,500,000.
The major tenant at the 34th Street property is the City which leases 300,000 square feet (48% of the total leasable area in the property) under a lease expiring February 28, 2001. The City has the option to terminate its lease without penalty effective anytime from March 31, 1993 to February 28, 2001 provided that the City gives the Partnership one year's notice of its intent to terminate the lease. The City will also be required to pay the Partnership for certain improvement costs as defined in accordance with the terms of the lease agreement. The City represented approximately 92% of the property's total revenue in 1993.
The Park Avenue Property. In 1987, the Partnership indirectly acquired from an affiliate an approximate 60% interest in a joint venture, Two Park Company, formed in 1986 for the purpose of acquiring and operating a parcel of land located at Two Park Avenue, New York, New York, together with the 28-story office building and related improvements located thereon containing approximately 956,000 net rentable square feet (based on current standards of measurement). The affiliate acquired such interest to facilitate the acquisition by the Partnership. Two Park Company acquired the Park Avenue Property in 1986 from an unaffiliated seller for approximately $151.5 million, $60 million of which was financed by a first mortgage loan. The Partnership acquired its interest by contributing $61,868,264 in cash, and assuming its share of the $60 million loan secured by a first mortgage on the property. The remaining approximate 40% interest in Two Park Company is owned by B & B Park Avenue L.P., an affiliate of Mendik Corporation. At December 31, 1993, the property was appraised at $115,000,000 ($125,000,000 at December 31, 1992), and the appraised value of the property net of the minority interest was $68,655,000 ($74,625,000 at December 31, 1992).
Major tenants at Two Park Avenue are Times Mirror Magazines, Inc. and its affiliate Newsday, Inc. which lease 262,774 square feet (28% of total leasable area in the property) under two leases expiring June 30, 2004 and National Benefit Life Insurance Company which leases 99,800 square feet (11% of total leasable area in the property) under a lease expiring May 30, 1998. Times Mirror Magazines, Inc. and its affiliate Newsday, Inc. and National Benefit Life Insurance Company represented 32% and 14%, respectively, of the property's total rental income in 1993.
6. Mortgage and Notes Payable
The Partnership is currently only able to incur additional indebtedness secured by the Saxon Woods Property (See Note 2).
The Stamford Property The $12,500,000 non-recourse first mortgage loan is for a term of ten years and accrues interest at the rate of 10% per annum through December 10, 1993 and 10.3% thereafter (See below) (the "Stamford Loan"). While the $12,500,000 principal amount outstanding currently exceeds the Borrowing Limitation, it did not exceed the Borrowing Limitation when the loan was incurred. The loan was modified effective January 1, 1991. Prior to modification interest only was payable in monthly installments of $104,167 through July 10, 1991. Thereafter, constant monthly installments in the amount of $113,625 were to be applied first to the payment of interest, then the balance to the reduction of principal through the maturity date, July 10, 1996, at which time the balance of principal and any accrued interest was to be due and payable.
Under the terms of the loan modification one-half of the monthly interest payments due under the loan from January 10, 1991 to December 10, 1991 are deferred until July 10, 1996, the loan's maturity date, and bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum (collectively, the "Deferred Interest"). During the period from December 10, 1991 to December 10, 1993, monthly payments of interest only were due at the rate of 10% per annum on the principal balance of the note. In addition, principal amortization payments previously required to be paid commencing August 10, 1991 have been deferred until the maturity of the loan. Commencing December 10, 1993 through the maturity date of the loan, interest is payable on the principal balance of the loan and the Deferred Interest at the rate of 10.3% per annum. If the Partnership prepays the Deferred Interest in full, interest under the loan will be reduced to 10% per annum. Deferred interest payable at December 31, 1993 is $798,777.
The loan modification requires that in each of calendar years 1991, 1992 and 1993, (i) Mendik Corporation will lend the Partnership $50,000, (ii) an affiliate of NYRES1 will lend the Partnership $110,000, and (iii) Mendik Realty Company, Inc. will defer management fees of approximately $70,000 a year payable to it in connection with services performed at the Stamford Property.
The loans by Mendik Corporation and the affiliate of NYRES1 are required to be deposited in an escrow account and may be used only to pay building improvement costs, lease-up costs and operating expenses related to the Stamford Property. Accordingly, as of December 31, 1993, $281,071 is being held as restricted cash with respect to these loans and fees. The loans and management fee deferral by Mendik Corporation, Mendik Realty and the affiliate of NYRES1 are on a non-recourse basis and bear interest at the prime rate less 1.25%. Principal and interest is payable on December 31, 2025, or upon termination of the Partnership if earlier, subject to a mandatory prepayment from the net proceeds from the sale of any of the properties, after repayment of all debt secured by the property sold.
The Partnership failed to make full payment of debt service due on February 10, 1994 and March 10, 1994 with respect to the Stamford Loan due to a decline in the property's revenue following the extension of D&B's lease. As a result, the Partnership is in default under the terms of the Stamford Loan. The General Partners are currently attempting to negotiate a further modification of the property's loan, however, no agreement has been reached to date. It appears unlikely that such efforts will be successful. Should the Partnership be unable to secure a loan modification, the lender may elect to exercise its remedies under the loan agreement including accelerating the maturity date of the principal balance of the loan. Should title to the property ultimately be transferred to the lender, it would result in the loss of the Partnership's investment in the property.
The Saxon Woods Corporate Center. In September 1991, the Partnership established a non-recourse line of credit of $6,500,000 (the "Saxon Woods line of credit") secured by the Partnership's leasehold interest in the property located at 550/600 Mamaroneck Avenue, Harrison, New York (the "Saxon Woods Property"). The Saxon Woods line of credit has a term of five (5) years, is secured by a first leasehold mortgage on the Saxon Woods Property and generally bears interest at the rate of 2.5% per annum in excess of the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). The interest rate was 5.875% at December 31, 1993. In addition, the Partnership is required to pay 1/2% per annum on the undrawn balance of the Saxon Woods line of credit. As additional security for the repayment of the Saxon Woods line of credit, the Partnership deposited $500,000 with the lender, which deposit was used by the Partnership to pay operating expenses in connection with the Saxon Woods Property prior to borrowing any sums under the Saxon Woods line of credit for
operating expenses. The Saxon Woods line of credit provides the partnership with a source of funds to pay for those improvements necessary to lease additional space at the property. In order to reduce the need for additional borrowings under the Saxon Woods line of credit, the Partnership has agreed to use all available cash flow from the Saxon Woods Property (which cash flow has been pledged to the lender) for all expenses incurred at the Saxon Woods Property prior to borrowing any additional funds under the Saxon Woods line of credit.
Based on the current appraised value of the Saxon Woods Property, only $6,000,000 of the Saxon Woods line of credit is available to the Partnership due to the Borrowing Limitation. The General Partners believe that the Saxon Woods line of credit will provide the Partnership with a source of funds which should be sufficient to pay for those improvements necessary to lease additional space at the property and anticipated operating shortfalls. As of December 31, 1993, the Partnership had borrowed $4,542,677 under the Saxon Woods line of credit. In January 1994, the Partnership borrowed an additional $138,000 and have made commitments to borrow an additional $362,000. The General Partners expect that additional leasing activity, the costs of which will be covered by borrowings from the Saxon Woods Line of Credit, may result in a further increase in the appraised value of the property thereby enabling the Partnership to borrow the additional amounts available under the Saxon Woods Line of Credit up to the full amount of $6,500,000. The Partnership has the option to request an updated appraisal at any time; however, there can be no assurance that subsequent appraised values for the Property will continue to increase.
The Park Avenue Property. The $60,000,000 first mortgage is for a term of twelve years and accrues interest at the rate of 9.75% per annum. Interest only is payable in monthly installments until the maturity date (December 19, 1998) at which time the full amount of principal and any accrued interest shall be due and payable. On June 15, 1989, Two Park Company placed a second mortgage on the Park Avenue Property in the amount of $10,000,000. Interest only is payable in monthly installments at a rate of 10.791% through June 15, 1992 and thereafter at the rate of 10.625% through December 19, 1998 at which time the full amount of principal and any accrued interest shall be due and payable.
On December 26, 1990, Two Park Company placed a third mortgage on the Park Avenue Property in the amount of $5,000,000. Interest only is payable in monthly installments at a rate of 11.5% through its maturity date of December 19, 1998 at which time the full amount of principal and any accrued interest shall be due and payable. The lender has the right to accelerate the maturity date of the first, second and third mortgage loans (collectively the "Park Avenue Loans") to a date not earlier than December 19, 1996 upon at least 180 days prior notice.
The loans are being treated as one loan and at any time upon request of Two Park Company, the lender will combine and consolidate all of the loans to make a non-recourse first mortgage loan in the principal amount of $75,000,000. While the $75,000,000 principal outstanding currently exceeds the Borrowing Limitation, it did not exceed the Borrowing Limitation when the loans were incurred.
The 34th Street Property. On December 12, 1989, the Partnership entered into a loan agreement with First National Bank of Chicago (the "Bank"). The loan provides for a $30,000,000 credit facility in the form of a first mortgage secured by the Partnership's leasehold interest on the 34th Street Property (the "34th Street line of credit"). The lender agreed to advance amounts under the credit facility up to 40% of the lesser of the appraised value of the 34th Street Property or the value thereof as determined by the lender. The credit facility matures on May 31, 1997 and provided the Partnership with the flexibility to draw funds at 110 basis points over Libor, or 110 basis points over the Bank's C.D. rate or at the Bank's prime rate. If the net operating income (as defined) for the property is less than 115% of the projected debt service for the property for any six month period, the lender may increase the interest rate to 125 basis points over Libor or 125 basis points over the Bank's C.D. rate. As of December 31, 1993, the Partnership had $15,000,000 outstanding under the credit facility at Libor plus 1.25% per annum. The rate was fixed at 6.4375% for the period from March 20, 1992 to March 18, 1993. The interest rate for the period March 19, 1993 through December 31, 1993 was 6% (see below).
Of the $30,000,000 maximum principal amount of the credit facility, up to $20,000,000 was permitted to be used by the Partnership for building improvements, tenant improvement allowances and leasing commissions relating to the 34th Street Property, as well as closing costs, interest reserves and mortgage recording tax reserves with respect to the
credit facility. The remaining $10,000,000, substantially all of which had been advanced by March 1991, was unrestricted and was allowed to be used by the Partnership for any purpose.
As of December 31, 1992, $15,000,000 had been advanced under the 34th Street line of credit. As a result of the default on the loan (See Note 2) and the decline in the appraised value of the 34th Street Property, the Partnership is currently prevented from borrowing any additional funds. While the $15,000,000 principal amount outstanding currently exceeds the Borrowing Limitation and the appraised value, it did not exceed the Borrowing Limitation when the loan was incurred.
The Partnership suspended its interest payments to the lender beginning with the September 1992 payment. On August 12, 1993, the Partnership entered into a forbearance agreement which modified the terms of the 34th Street Line of Credit with The First National Bank of Chicago ("FNBC"), under which $15 million of principal and approximately $1.3 million of accrued interest is outstanding at December 31, 1993. Pursuant to the forbearance agreement, FNBC agreed to forbear through June 30, 1994 from exercising its remedies under the loan agreement as a result of the Partnership's failure to pay interest. Subject to the terms of the forbearance agreement, the Partnership will have the ability to pay off the 34th Street Line of Credit for $6.5 million, a substantial discount to the current outstanding balance, at any time through June 30, 1994. Also through June 30, 1994, the Partnership will be permitted to make interest payments, based upon the Corporate Base Rate or the prime rate beginning March 19, 1993, to FNBC only to the extent of available cash flow from the 34th Street Property. No interest payments have been made by the Partnership since entering into the forbearance agreement. If the Partnership is not successful in obtaining the financing necessary to pay off the 34th Street Line of Credit by June 30, 1994, the Partnership has agreed to assign its interest in the property and in the ground lease to the Property to FNBC, at FNBC's election, in lieu of foreclosure. This agreement provides the Partnership with an opportunity to pay off the 34th Street Line of Credit at a substantial discount while at the same time establishing a cost-effective means to ensure an orderly and efficient transfer of the Property to FNBC in the event the 34th Street Line of Credit cannot be paid off. The Partnership has no assurances that it will be able to obtain the financing necessary to pay off the 34th Street Line of Credit and any such pay off will depend on numerous factors including general market conditions. Should the Partnership be unable to complete a refinancing, it might result in the loss of the Partnership's investment in the Property.
The deferral of management fees and leasing commissions by Mendik Realty will remain in effect pursuant to the terms of the forbearance agreement. Additionally, the forbearance agreement gives FNBC control of the property's cash flow by requiring the Partnership to maintain a lockbox at FNBC. FNBC will approve all releases of funds from the lockbox. As of December 31, 1993, approximately $1 million was on deposit in the lockbox account maintained by FNBC.
