                 September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 and
        For the Nine and Three Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995

NOTE 1 -  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

          The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance
          with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
          information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X.
          Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
          required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
          financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
          (consisting of normal recurring accruals) have been included.
          Operating results during the nine and three months ended September 30,
          1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
          expected for the year ending December 31, 1996. For further
          information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto
          included in the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-K for the year
          ended December 31, 1995.

          Cash and Cash Equivalents
          -------------------------

          The Partnership invests its cash not needed for working capital in
          highly liquid short-term investments consisting primarily of money
          market funds and certificates of deposit, with original maturities
          ranging generally from one to three months. The Partnership considers
          all such items to be cash equivalents.

          Depreciation
          ------------
 
          Pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles the Partnership
          ceased to depreciate Woodbridge from the time it determined to sell
          the property (see Note 7).

NOTE 3 -  TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

          Pursuant to a former management agreement dated October 1, 1985, De
          Anza Assets, Inc., a former affiliate of the operating general partner
          (OGP), was paid a management fee in the amount of 5% of the annual
          gross receipts from the operations of the Partnership's properties.
          The payment of this fee is subordinated to the priority distributions
          to the cash general and

                   September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 and
          For the Nine and Three Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995


NOTE 3 -  TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES (Continued)

          limited partners of 6% of their adjusted capital contributions each
          year and is noncumulative, except in the case of a sale, refinancing
          or other disposition of the Partnership's properties. In that case,
          the difference between the management fee actually paid and the
          management fee that would have been paid if it were not subordinated,
          is payable out of proceeds from the sale, refinancing or other
          disposition after payment of the limited partners' priority return and
          capital contribution and the general partners' incentive interest.

          On August 18, 1994, subsequent to the sale of Colonies of Margate and
          the property management business of De Anza Group, Inc. (DAG), as
          discussed in Note 5, the property management of Woodbridge was assumed
          by Terra Vista Management, Inc. (Terra Vista). Terra Vista is wholly
          owned by Michael D. Gelfand, president of the OGP and the son of
          Herbert M. Gelfand. Herbert M. Gelfand, together with Beverly Gelfand,
          is the sole shareholder of the OGP and an individual general partner.
          Terra Vista was paid $142,623 and $140,127 for management fees during
          the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Of
          the $142,623, $48,553 is attributable to the three months ended
          September 30, 1996 (compared to $46,417 paid for the three months
          ended September 30, 1995). The property management of Aptos Pines was
          transferred to an affiliate of the buyer when the property management
          business of DAG was transferred as part of the overall transaction
          concurrent with the sale of Colonies of Margate (see Note 5).

          In addition, Terra Vista or an affiliate of the OGP was paid $112,270
          and $115,318 during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995,
          respectively, for performing bookkeeping, regional management,
          computer and investor relations services necessary for the operation
          of the Partnership and its properties. Of the $112,270, $46,191 is
          attributable to the three months ended September 30, 1996 (compared to
          $37,053 paid for the three months ended September 30, 1995).

NOTE 4 -  INCOME PER 1% GENERAL PARTNER INTEREST AND CASH GENERAL AND LIMITED
          PARTNERSHIP UNIT

          Income per cash general and limited partnership unit was computed
          based on the cash general and limited partners' share of net income as
          reflected on the Statements of Income and Changes in Partners' Capital
          (Deficit) and the number of units outstanding (22,869 units). The
          general partners' share of net income has not been included in this
          computation. Income per 1% general partner interest was computed based
          on the general partners' share of net income as reflected on the
          Statements of Income and Changes in Partners' Capital (Deficit).

NOTE 5 -  SALE OF COLONIES OF MARGATE

          On August 18, 1994, the Partnership sold Colonies of Margate to an
          affiliate of Manufactured Home Communities, Inc. (MHC), a real estate
          investment trust, as part of an overall transaction for the sale of
          the related property management business of DAG and other mobile home
          communities affiliated with DAG.

                   September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 and
          For the Nine and Three Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995


NOTE 5 -  SALE OF COLONIES OF MARGATE (Continued)

          The sales price for the Property was $23,147,228. Additional proceeds
          of $557,192, which were included in the sales price for calculating
          the gain on sale of property and equipment, were received from MHC to
          fund a General Reserve.

          In connection with the sale, the Partnership established various
          reserves totaling $1,024,923. The $1,024,923 was used to establish the
          following reserves:

<TABLE>
                <S>                                <C>
                MHC Reserve                        $181,000
                General Reserve                     557,192
                Independent Committee Reserve       286,731

</TABLE>

          The MHC Reserve was required by MHC and released in May 1995.
          Accordingly, the gain on sale has been recognized and included in net
          income for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The General
          Reserve and Independent Committee Reserve were established to fund
          contingent liabilities that may arise out of the MHC transaction. In
          September 1996, $143,366 of the Independent Committee Reserve was
          released. The gain on sale has been recognized and included in net
          income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

          Pursuant to the guidelines of Financial Accounting Standards No. 66
          "Accounting for Sales of Real Estate", the Partnership deferred in
          1994 the recognition of gain on that portion of the sales proceeds
          represented by the MHC Reserve, Independent Committee Reserve and
          General Reserve, totaling $1,024,923. As these reserves are released
          or expended, gain on sale will be recognized. At September 30, 1996
          and December 31, 1995, $700,557 and $843,923, respectively, of sale
          proceeds have been deferred and are included in deferred gain on sale,
          as reflected in the balance sheets.
 
NOTE 6 -  SALE OF APTOS PINES

          On July 11, 1995, Aptos Pines (Aptos) was sold to a non-profit mutual
          benefit corporation formed by the Aptos Pines Homeowners' Association.
          The sales price for Aptos was $4,325,000, all cash, and an additional
          $35,000 was received as reimbursement of capital outlays related to
          the newly constructed sewer system. The Partnership incurred sales and
          closing costs of approximately $56,200, has distributed $4,265,000 of
          the proceeds to the limited and general partners and has reserved the
          remaining $3,800.

NOTE 7 -  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

          On October 7, 1996, the Partnership entered into a contract to sell
          Woodbridge Meadows Apartments to J.F. Shea Co., Inc. for $29,600,000,
          all cash. Escrow is scheduled to close in January 1997. If the sale
          occurs and no claims against the Partnership are pending, the
          Partnership expects to wind up and dissolve in 1997.

ITEM 2.              MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
               OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Liquidity
- ---------


 The Partnership's quick ratio increased to 1.7:1 from 1.6:1, including
 unrestricted cash balances of $728,928 and $544,356 at September 30, 1996 and
 December 31, 1995, respectively. The increase is due to the release of a
 portion of the restricted cash reserves, offset in part by an increase in
 accounts payable and accrued expenses.  The Partnership's cash balance is its
 immediate source of liquidity.

 On a long-term basis, the Partnership's liquidity is sustained primarily from
 cash flows from operations, which during the nine months ended September 30,
 1996 were approximately $1,153,000.  Should it become necessary to improve
 liquidity the Partnership can reduce partner distributions from operations,
 which totaled approximately $938,000 during the nine months ended September 30,
 1996, arrange a short-term line of credit or refinance Woodbridge Meadows
 Apartments.

 In 1995 the Partnership sold Aptos Pines as discussed in Note 6 to the
 financial statements.  The sale has reduced partnership income and therefore,
 liquidity.  The Partnership has entered into a contract to sell its remaining
 property, Woodbridge Meadows Apartments, and anticipates that it will be sold
 in January 1997.  The sale would result in the Partnership's dissolution and
 liquidation.

 Other than as described elsewhere, there are no known trends, demands,
 commitments, events or uncertainties known to the Partnership which are
 reasonably likely to materially affect the Partnership's liquidity.



Capital Resources
- -----------------


 The Partnership anticipates spending approximately $102,000 in 1996 for
 physical improvements at its property, approximately $24,000 of which will be
 spent during the remainder of 1996.  The Partnership is continuously reviewing
 the necessity for such expenditures in light of the expected sale of Woodbridge
 Meadows Apartments.  Funds for these improvements will be provided by cash
 generated from operations and from the remaining reserves from the 1990 Margate
 refinancing available for improvement projects at Woodbridge.

 Due to the sale of Colonies of Margate and Aptos Pines discussed in Notes 5 and
 6, and the distributions pursuant to the sale of Margate and Aptos Pines, the
 Partnership's capital resources have been reduced.  The expected sale of
 Woodbridge Meadows Apartments in January 1997 would prompt the Partnership's
 dissolution.

 Other than as described above, there are no known material trends, favorable or
 unfavorable, in the Partnership's capital resources.  The Partnership does not
 contemplate any other material changes in the mix of its capital resources,
 other than as described above.

ITEM 2.              MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
         OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)



Results of Operations
- ---------------------


 Since Aptos Pines was sold in July 1995, a comparison of results of operations
 for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 would not be
 meaningful.  However, a comparison can be done excluding the operations of
 Aptos Pines.

 Rental income, excluding Aptos Pines, increased 1.6% and 3.2% during the nine
 and three months ended September 30, 1996, over the same periods in 1995. The
 increase is due to both increased occupancy at Woodbridge and increased rental
 rates. Competition in the immediate area is vigorous, but the major
 improvements done to the property begun in 1992 and completed in 1995 are
 expected to allow Woodbridge to maintain a stable income stream. Competition
 mostly arises from Irvine Apartment Communities whose numerous properties
 dominate the local luxury apartment market.

 Other income increased during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 over the
 same period in 1995 due to increased fees for transfers of limited partnership
 units plus increased laundry income at Woodbridge.  Woodbridge's increased
 laundry income is mostly responsible for the increase for the three months
 ended September 30, 1996 over the same period in 1995.

 Interest and dividend income decreased during the nine and three months ended
 September 30, 1996 over the same periods in 1995 because there were higher cash
 reserves during the three months ended September 30, 1995, including sale
 proceeds held for a short period until their distribution.

 Expenses, excluding Aptos Pines, decreased 3.1% and 23.0% during the nine and
 three months ended September 30, 1996 over the same periods in 1995.  According
 to generally accepted accounting principles, from the time the Partnership
 determined to sell Woodbridge it ceased to depreciate the carrying value of the
 assets. This decrease in depreciation expense is mostly responsible for the
 decrease in overall expenses.  Additionally, maintenance, repairs and supplies
 were lower due to lower apartment turnover, higher occupancy and lower turnkey
 costs. Partially offsetting these decreases were higher costs for professional
 fees and services due to the legal fees paid in connection with the November
 1995 - January 1996 tender offer by Moraga Capital, LLC. while other expenses
 increased due to related investor mailings.  Insurance premiums at Woodbridge
 increased as a result of the January 1994 Northridge earthquake centered
 approximately 70 miles from Woodbridge. Additionally, salaries and payroll
 taxes and benefits increased due to the higher leasing salaries to increase
 occupancy and utilities costs were higher due to increased occupancy.

 Other than as described above, there are no known trends or uncertainties which
 have had or can be reasonably expected to have a material effect on continuing
 operations.

indemnified.  If no such counternotice is given within such thirty (30) day
period, or if the indemnifying party acknowledges liability for indemnification,
then such indemnification shall be promptly honored.

          14.3.3.  Arbitration.  If, within thirty (30) days after the giving of
                   -----------
the counternotice, the parties have not reached agreement as to the claim in
question, then the claim for indemnification shall be submitted to and settled
by arbitration as hereinafter provided (it being expressly understood and agreed
that if such counternotice is duly given, it is the intention of the parties to
this Agreement that any such claim shall be resolved by arbitration as provided
in this Section 14).  Arbitration shall be before a retired judge or justice in
                --
Orange County, California.  If the parties are unable to agree on a retired
judge or justice, each party shall name one retired judge or justice and the two
named persons will select a neutral judge or justice to act as the sole
arbitrator.  The parties shall be entitled to take discovery in accordance with
the provisions of the California Code of Civil Procedure, including but not
limited to Section 1283.05, which shall be applicable to such arbitration,
except that leave of the arbitrator shall not be required to take depositions
for discovery, provided that either party may request that the arbitrator limit
the amount or scope of such discovery, and in determining whether to do so, the
arbitrator shall balance the need for discovery against the parties' mutual
desire to resolve the dispute expeditiously and inexpensively.  The decision of
the arbitrator on the merits shall be final and binding as to any matters
submitted to the arbitrator under this Agreement, except the arbitrator shall
have no authority to grant punitive damages.  To the extent the arbitrator's
decision is that a loss has been suffered for which a party is to be indemnified
under this Agreement, it shall be promptly satisfied; provided, however, that,
if necessary, such decision and satisfaction procedure may be enforced by either
party hereto in any court of record having jurisdiction over the subject matter
or over any of the parties hereto.  All costs and expenses incurred in
connection with any such arbitration proceeding shall be borne by the party
against whom the decision is rendered, or, if no decision is rendered or if the
decision is a compromise, equally by Buyer and Seller.

          14.3.4.  Right to Counsel.  Any party entitled to indemnification
                   ----------------
hereunder shall be entitled to be defended by counsel of such party's choice,
subject to the approval of the indemnifying party, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided, 

                                      -18-
<PAGE>
 
however, if the indemnity claim arises out of an action by a third party, then
the indemnifying party shall have the right to use the same counsel to defend
the indemnified party as the indemnifying party is using in the underlying
action, unless the indemnified party in good faith believes that a conflict
exists such that the indemnified party will not be adequately represented by
such counsel.

          14.3.5.  No Third Party Beneficiary.  The indemnifications set forth
                   --------------------------
in this Agreement shall not inure to the benefit of any unspecified third party,
including but not limited to insurance carriers, which are specifically
excluded.

     15.  Brokers.  Buyer and Seller each represents and warrants to the other
          -------
that neither has dealt with a broker, finder or other third party in connection
with this transaction who would be entitled to a commission or finder's fee,
other than CB Commercial, who represented the Seller, and none is due any person
or entity, other than CB Commercial, who represented the Seller, through said
party in connection with this Agreement or the transaction set forth herein and
agrees to hold the other harmless from any such claim.

     16.  Default and Remedies.
          --------------------
 
          16.1.  BUYER'S DEFAULT - CLOSING.  IN THE EVENT OF BUYER'S DEFAULT
                 -------------------------
HEREUNDER PRIOR TO CLOSING WHICH IS NOT CURED WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS OF NOTICE
THEREOF, PROVIDED ALL CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN SECTION 3.1 HAVE BEEN SATISFIED OR
                                                      ---
WAIVED BY BUYER, SELLER MAY ELECT BY WRITTEN NOTICE TO BUYER AND ESCROW HOLDER,
EITHER (A) TO CLOSE THIS TRANSACTION, BUT ONLY IF BUYER IS WILLING TO PROCEED TO
CLOSING (I.E., SELLER SHALL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT OF SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE), AND TO
RESERVE SELLER'S REMEDY TO SEEK DAMAGES FOR SUCH BREACH AS SET FORTH IN SECTION
16.3 OR (B) TO TERMINATE BUYER'S OBLIGATION TO BUY, AND SELLER'S OBLIGATION TO
- ----
SELL, THE PROPERTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT.  IF SELLER SHALL ELECT THE LATTER
REMEDY (I.E., CLAUSE (B)) AND IF BUYER'S DEFAULT IS MATERIAL, SELLER, AT ITS
ELECTION, AS ITS SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, SHALL BE ENTITLED TO THREE HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS ($300,000) (THE DEPOSIT) PLUS INTEREST EARNED THEREON, AS
LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.  THE PARTIES AGREE THAT SELLER'S ACTUAL DAMAGES, IN THE
EVENT OF A MATERIAL DEFAULT BY BUYER, WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT OR
IMPRACTICAL TO DETERMINE, AND THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES HAVE BEEN AGREED UPON AFTER
NEGOTIATION BETWEEN THE PARTIES.  THE PARTIES 

                                      -19-
<PAGE>
 
AGREE THAT THIS PROVISION IS REASONABLE UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING AT THE
TIME THIS AGREEMENT IS MADE.

          16.3.  Breach of This Agreement if the Closing Occurs. In the event
                 ----------------------------------------------
the Closing occurs, any claim for a breach (the "Breach") of this Agreement,
other than for failure to honor an obligation of indemnity under this Agreement,
shall be subject to the following:

               16.3.1. Claim Amount. A party shall be liable for the Breach only
                       ------------
if, and then only to the extent that, the damages, judgments, costs, expenses
(excluding attorneys' fees and disbursements), penalties, liabilities or other
amounts incurred as a result of the Breach exceed $25,000. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the maximum liability of either Buyer or Seller
for the Breach, including but not limited to all costs, expenses, attorneys'
fees and disbursements, shall be an amount equal to the Purchase Price.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 16.3.1 shall not
                                                              ------
apply to any failure to reprorate the prorations as required by Section 5.

               16.3.2.  Notice.  No party hereto shall be liable for the Breach
                        ------
unless, prior to the date two months following the Closing (i) the alleged
Breach occurs and (ii) the party 

                                      -20-
<PAGE>
 
asserting the Breach notifies the other party of the alleged Breach and the
facts which are the basis for the alleged Breach. If the notice is timely given
but the notified party desires to dispute such claim of Breach, it shall, within
thirty (30) days after the aforesaid notice is given, give a counternotice,
setting forth the basis for disputing such claim of Breach, to the party
claiming the Breach. If no such counternotice is given within such thirty (30)
day period, or if the alleged Breaching party acknowledges the Breach, then the
Breach shall be promptly cured or satisfied.

               16.3.3. Arbitration. If, within thirty (30) days after the giving
                       -----------
of the counternotice, the parties have not reached agreement as to the claim in
question, then the claim shall be submitted to and settled by arbitration as
hereinafter provided (it being expressly understood and agreed that if such
counternotice is duly given, it is the intention of the parties to this
Agreement that any such claim shall be resolved by arbitration as provided in
this Section 16). Arbitration shall be before a retired judge or justice in Los
             --
Angeles County, California. If the parties are unable to agree on a retired
judge or justice, each party shall name one retired judge or justice and the two
named persons will select a neutral judge or justice to act as the sole

for discovery, provided that either party may request that the arbitrator limit
the amount or scope of such discovery, and in determining whether to do so, the
arbitrator shall balance the need for discovery against the parties' mutual
desire to resolve the dispute expeditiously and inexpensively. The decision of
the arbitrator on the merits shall be final and binding as to any matters
submitted to the arbitrator under this Agreement, and to the extent the
arbitrator's decision is that a Breach occurred, it shall be promptly satisfied
by the Breaching party; provided, however, that, if necessary, such decision and
satisfaction procedure may be enforced by any party hereto in any court of
record having jurisdiction over the subject matter or over any of the parties
hereto. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with any such arbitration
proceeding shall be borne by the party against whom the decision is rendered,
or, if no decision is rendered or if the decision is a compromise, equally by
Buyer and Seller.

hereto which are incorporated herein and made a part hereof embody the entire
agreement of the parties regarding the subject matter hereof.  All prior

merged herein.  This Agreement may not be altered or modified, except by an

Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, in computing any time period
provided for in the Agreement or by law, the day of the act or event from which

                 --------
Agreement are inserted only as a matter of convenience and for reference, and in
no way define, limit or describe the scope of this Agreement, or the intent of
any provision hereof.

          19.6.  Severability.  In case any one or more of the provisions
                 ------------
contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal,
or unenforceable in any respect by a court, arbitrator or administrative agency
having jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not
affect any other provision hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed as if
such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been contained
herein.

          19.7.  Further Assurances.  Each party agrees that at the request of
                 ------------------

<PAGE>
 
          19.8.  Provisions Negotiated and Independent.  Each and every
                 -------------------------------------
provision of this Agreement has been independently, separately and freely
negotiated by the parties as if this Agreement were drafted by all parties
hereto.  The parties, therefore, waive any statutory or common law presumption
which would serve to have this document construed in favor of, or against, any
party.

          19.9.  No Merger.  All provisions in this Agreement, which by their
                 ---------
terms extend beyond the Closing, shall survive the Closing and not merge as a
result of the conveyance of the Property, including but not limited to the
representations and warranties of Seller and Buyer which shall survive the
Closing for one month.

          19.10.  Failure to Enforce.  The failure to enforce any breach of this

for its benefit without waiving any other provision or condition.

          19.11.  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more

                  -----------------------
except as necessary to effectuate a tax deferred exchange, and except that Buyer
may designate an affiliate controlled by Buyer, to take title to the Property at

and said designee assumes, as an additional obligor, all obligations of Buyer
hereunder and Buyer notifies Seller of the assignee five (5) business days prior
to the date Seller is obligated to provide Closing Documents to Buyer or Buyer's
counsel.  The designation of a designee shall have no effect upon any amounts
held by the Escrow Holder hereunder at the time of assignment, and all
provisions herein relating to the Escrow Holder shall continue to be in full
force and effect.

          19.13.  No Third-Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement is for the sole
                  ----------------------------
benefit of the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns, and no
other person or entity shall be entitled to rely upon or receive any benefit
from this Agreement or any term hereof, except those parties entitled to
indemnification pursuant to Section 14.

                  --------

                  --     --                       ----     ----

contract, tort or any other theory) are set forth in Sections 14 and 16.3 and
                                                              --     ----
are exclusive.

                  ---------------
Agreement, in any action or proceeding (including but not limited to an
arbitration) arising out of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be

preparation for and in prosecution or defense of said action or proceeding,
including but not limited to all appeals, related proceedings including
enforcement, satisfaction and extraordinary writ proceedings.

          19.16.  Acceptance of Offer.  This Agreement constitutes an offer by
                  -------------------
