Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations.
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 remaining nine properties are leased to
one or more tenants pursuant to net or modified net leases with
remaining lease terms, subject to extensions, ranging between
approximately one and eleven years. The Partnership receives rental
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 $141,000 increase at March 31, 1997, as compared to
December 31, 1996. The Partnership's $340,000 of cash provided by
operating activities along with $73,000 of cash provided by
investing activities were only partially offset by $67,000 of cash
used for mortgage payments and $205,000 of partner distributions
(financing activities). The Partnership invests its working capital
reserves in a money market mutual fund.
The Partnership requires cash primarily to pay principal and
interest on its mortgage indebtedness, management fees and general
and administrative expenses. Due to the net and long-term nature of
the original leases, inflation and changing prices have not
significantly affected the Partnership's revenues and net income.
As tenant leases expire, the Partnership expects that inflation and
changing prices will affect the Partnership's revenues. The
Partnership's rental and interest income was sufficient for the
three months ended March 31, 1997, and is expected to be sufficient
in future periods, to pay the Partnership's operating expenses and
debt service. Upon expiration of tenant leases the Partnership will
be required to either sell the properties or procure new tenants.
In addition, if the Partnership is unable to sell such properties
prior to their lease expiration, extend the current leases or
re-let the properties upon the expiration of the lease terms, the
Partnership would be responsible for operating expenses, such as
real estate taxes, insurance and utility expenses associated with
the properties. The Partnership maintains cash reserves to enable
it to make potential capital improvements required in connection
with the re-letting of the properties.
The Partnership has continued to make quarterly distributions to
its partners from operating revenue since inception. The Managing
General Partner is evaluating the propriety of future cash
distributions at their current level, or at all, in light of the
J.C. Penney lease expiration on February 1, 1998 and the related
$425,000 balloon payment due on the mortgage note secured by the
J.C. Penney property. If, at that time, the Partnership is unable
to extend or refinance the mortgage note or sell the property, the
property could be lost through foreclosure.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
(Continued)
Results of Operations
Net income decreased by $91,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1997 as compared to 1996, primarily due to a decrease in rental
income. Rental income (excluding $51,000 received from the
Partnership's Greenville, South Carolina property sold on August 1,
1996) decreased by $64,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1997, as compared to the prior comparable period, due to the timing
of the recording of percentage rents. Interest and depreciation
expense decreased for the three months ended March 31, 1997 as
compared to 1996 as a result of the August 1, 1996 mortgage
repayment related to the sale of the above property. Other items of
income and expense remained relatively constant.
