Re: 1999 Broadway Associates Limited Partnership
Form 10KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004
File No. 000-20273
Dear Ms. Luckey:
We are responding on behalf of 1999 Broadway Associates Limited
Partnership ("1999 Broadway") to your letter of comment, dated April 19, 2005,
with respect to the above-referenced filing by 1999 Broadway with respect to
1999 Broadway's 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004.
In this regard, this letter will respond to the one comment set forth in
your letter of April 19, 2005.
Comment: As stated on page 21, "Deferred Lease Termination Fee has been deferred
and is being amortized into income for financial statement purposes until such
time as a new tenant occupies the vacated space." Supplementally tell us what
the basis in GAAP was for determining when to recognize the termination fee into
income.
Response: 1999 Broadway Associates Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") is a
publicly held but not traded limited partnership which owns a single office
building with a garage.
In December 2001, a tenant paid a lease termination fee to the
Partnership. The property mortgage holder maintained control of the cash
proceeds in a reserve account to be used for future tenant improvements. We
believe that the proceeds of the lease termination fee would not immediately
accrue to the benefit of the Partnership; therefore, the Partnership amortized
the fee to income to more closely match the anticipated cash benefits to be
received.
Sincerely,
/s/ Thomas C. Staples
