                       MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                 OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
                                  JUNE 30, 1997



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Partnership has current assets of $945,394 which exceed its current
liabilities of $248,717 by $696,677.  This surplus provides an operating reserve
equal  to  13.9%  of  the  Partnership's  original  capital  raised.  While  the
Partnership agreement has no reserve requirement,  the General Partner has set a
$250,000 target (5% of the Partnership's original capitalization).

         As shown on the  Statement  of Cash Flows for the six months ended June
30, 1997,  the  Partnership's  cash resources  decreased by $279,406  during the
period  covered by this report as compared  with an increase of $120,796  during
the corresponding  period of the preceding fiscal year. The decrease in net cash
flow is primarily due to a special,  non-recurring $600,000  distribution.  Cash
provided by operating activity grew by $280,229 during the six months covered by
this report as compared to the previous  fiscal year.  Other than operating cash
flow,  additional  borrowing against the properties is the only realistic source
of cash in the  unlikely  event that  reserves do not satisfy the  Partnership's
future cash requirements.

         During the six month period covered by this report,  the  Partnership's
expenditures for  replacements  and renovation  totaled $74,035 or 3.7% of guest
room  revenues.  The  Partnership  spent  $33,228 on  washers  for the South San
Francisco and Sacramento  properties,  $4,166 for furniture repairs at the South
San Francisco property, $5,504 for bedspreads at all three properties and $5,111
for replacement air-conditioning units.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The  following  is a  comparison  of the first six months of the fiscal
year ending  December 31, 1997 with the  corresponding  period of the  preceding
fiscal year.

         Total income increased $331,021 or 18.9%. The major revenue item, guest
room revenue,  increased $307,837 or 18.2%, due to an average rate increase from
$45.17 in 1996 to $47.65 in 1997 and an occupancy  rate  increase from $63.2% in
1996 to 71.2% in 1997.  All three motel  achieved  increases in both the average
daily room rate in the average  occupancy  rate.  The South San Francisco  motel
achieved  65% of the  increased  guest room  revenues.  The South San  Francisco
markets  achieved  higher  patronage  in all market  segments  with the  highest
increases  in the leisure and the  corporate  market  segments.  The  Sacramento
property achieved a similar increase in its average occupancy rate and a minimal
increase in its average room rate. The Modesto motel had substantially unchanged
occupancy  rates,  but was able to achieve  higher  room  rates due to  improved
market conditions.

                       MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                 OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
                            JUNE 30, 1997 (Continued)

         Total expenses increased $72,032 or 4.9% during the first six months of
the fiscal year  ending  December  31,  1997 as  compared  to the  corresponding
quarter of the  previous  fiscal  year.  This  increase is  attributable  to the
increase in guest room occupancy.

FUTURE TRENDS

         The General Partners  anticipate an improved  economic climate for 1997
as compared with the previous fiscal year. The South San Francisco market, which
traditionally  generated 40% of the  Partnership's  room revenue,  has recovered
from its  depressed  condition.  The General  Partners  have  determined  that a
continuing cost control  strategy will provide the best immediate  return to the
Partnership.  The major  components of the cost control program were in place by
December  31, 1993 and  continue to benefit the  Partnership  through the fiscal
quarter covered by this report.

         The Sacramento  property had  significant  occupancy from the McClellan
Air Force Base.  The facility was added to the 1995 base closing list.  The room
nights generated from this source will decline as the base operations are phased
out through 2002. The actual closing activity and the future use of the facility
should generate some business for the Sacramento motel.

         In the opinion of Management,  these financial  statements  reflect all
adjustments  which were necessary to a fair statement of results for the interim
periods presented. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
