Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.


This Item should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and other
items contained elsewhere in the report.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

All of the Partnership's properties are leased to one or more tenants pursuant
to net or modified net leases with remaining lease terms, subject to extensions,
ranging between two and twelve years. The Partnership receives rental income and
interest income from its properties which is its primary source of liquidity.
Pursuant to the terms of the leases, the tenants are responsible for
substantially all of the operating expenses with respect to the properties
including, maintenance, capital improvements, insurance and taxes.

The level of liquidity based on cash and cash equivalents experienced a $195,000
increase at March 31, 1996, as compared to December 31, 1995. The Partnership's
$399,000 of cash provided by operating activities was only partially offset by
$65,000 of cash used for mortgage payments and $139,000 of partner distributions
(financing activities). Cash provided by operating activities improved at March

31, 1996 as compared to March 31, 1995 primarily due to an increase in rental
income.

The Partnership requires cash primarily to pay principal and interest on its
mortgage indebtedness, management fees and general and administrative expenses.
The Partnership's rental and interest income was sufficient for the three months
ended March 31, 1996, and is expected to be sufficient in future periods, to pay
all of these amounts as well as to provide for cash distributions to the
Partners from operations.

The Partnership has continued to make quarterly distributions to its partners
from operating revenue since inception. Based on the projected revenue and
expenses of the Partnership, it is expected that quarterly distributions will
continue to be made to its partners in the foreseeable future.

The Partnership does not anticipate that it will have any substantial
requirements for capital resources until February 1, 1998, at which time a
mortgage note secured by the J.C. Penney property will have a balloon payment
due.

The Partnership invests its working capital reserves in a money market account
or repurchase agreements secured by United States Treasury obligations.

Subsequent Event

The Partnership has reached a tentative agreement with Piedmont Clarklift, the
tenant at the Greenville, South Carolina property, pursuant to which Piedmont
Clarklift will purchase the property for $1,518,000. The sale of this property
is contingent upon numerous conditions. It is anticipated that if the property
is sold, net proceeds will be distributed to limited partners.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
        (Continued)


Results of Operations

Three Months ended March 31, 1996 vs. March 31, 1995

Operating results improved $74,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 as
compared to 1995 due to an increase in revenues of $74,000.


Revenues increased by $74,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 as
compared to 1995 due to an increase in rental income of $80,000 which was
partially offset by a decrease of $6,000 in interest income on real estate
leases accounted for under the financing method. Rental revenues increased
primarily due to the receipt of contingent rental payments at certain of the
Partnership's properties.

Expenses remained constant for the three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared
to 1995. Increases of $1,000 in management fees and $1,000 in general and
administrative expenses were offset by a decrease in interest expense of $2,000.
All other expense items remained substantially the same for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 as compared to 1995.
