Quarter Ended     General Partners   Limited Partners   Per Limited Partner Unit

December 31, 1996      $3,532             $349,713                $6.37

                       ======             ========                =====

A distribution of $6.40 per Limited Partner Unit for the quarter ended September
30, 1997 was declared and paid in October 1997.

Note 3.  Transactions with Related Parties:

For the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996, the
Partnership incurred property management fees of $33,156 and $74,174,
respectively, and general and administrative expense reimbursements of $12,042
and $38,770, respectively, payable to an affiliate. For the three-month and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997, the Partnership incurred property
management fees of $20,615 and $90,978, respectively, and general and
administrative expense reimbursements of $14,011 and $46,224, respectively,
payable to an affiliate. Management believes that ultimate payment of a
preferred return to the General Partners of $1,048,845, based upon cumulative
proceeds of sales of assets, is reasonably possible but not probable, as defined
in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, and no accrual for such
preferred return has been reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Financial
Statements.

The Partnership, in conjunction with certain affiliates, is a participant in a
cost sharing agreement for the purpose of renting and occupying office space.
Under the agreement, the Partnership pays its proportionate share of rent and
other costs of occupancy. Net expenses incurred for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1997 were $35,916 and $24,584, respectively.

Note 5.  Consent Solicitation:

On October 15, 1997, Carey Diversified LLC ("CDSM") filed a Consent Solicitation
Statement/Prospectus ("consent solicitation") with the United States Securities
and Exchange Commission. The General Partners are proposing that the Limited
Partners of the nine CPA(R) limited partnerships approve a transaction in which
each CPA(R) limited partnership would be merged with a subsidiary partnership of
CDSM, of which CDSM is the general partner. As described in the consent
solicitation, each limited partner would have the option of either exchanging
his or her limited partnership units for an interest in CDSM ("Listed Shares")
or to retain a limited partnership interest in the subsidiary partnership
("Subsidiary Partnership Units"). If the holders of a majority of the
outstanding limited partnership units of the Partnership consent to the
transaction, the merger of the Partnership with the corresponding subsidiary
partnership of CDSM may be consummated. If the transaction is consummated, the
General Partners will exchange a portion of their general partnership interests
in exchange for Listed Shares. The transaction will not occur unless the CPA(R)
Partnerships approving the transaction represent at least $200,000,000 in Total
Exchange Value, as defined. There is no assurance that the holders of limited
partnership units of the Partnership will consent to the transaction or that the
transaction will occur.

If the transaction is completed, the Listed Shares will be listed and publicly
traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Subsidiary Partnership Units will provide
substantially the same economic interest and legal rights as those of a limited
partnership unit in the Partnership, but will not be listed on a securities
exchange. Conversion of limited partnership units to Listed Shares or Subsidiary
Partnership Units will not result in a taxable event to the limited partners.
The risk factors and benefits relating to the proposed transaction are described
in the consent solicitation. The General Partners, as well as all the Directors
of the Corporate General Partners of the CPA(R) Partnerships, have unanimously
approved the proposed transaction.

                 Item 2. - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations:

    Net income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30,
1997 increased by $96,000 and $485,000, respectively, as compared with the
similar periods ended September 30, 1996. Income for both periods benefited from
an increase in lease revenues. The three-month period also benefited from a
decrease in property expense. The nine-month period benefited from a decrease in
interest expense.

    Lease revenues increased due to the commencement of new leases with Sports &
Recreation, Inc. and Excel Communications, Inc. in July 1996 and December 1996,
respectively, as well as full occupancy of the Maumelle, Arkansas distribution
facility in 1997. The Maumelle facility was not fully leased until the second
quarter of 1996. As of August 1997, B&G Contracting, Inc. is occupying 100% of
the facility and took possession of the space which Maybelline Products Co.,
Inc. relinquished on July 31, 1997. The decrease in property expense was due to
the net leases entered into with Sports & Recreation and Excel at the
Partnership's properties in Moorestown, New Jersey and Reno, Nevada,
respectively. A net lease requires the lessee to absorb the costs associated
with operating a property including the costs of maintenance, insurance and real
estate taxes. Prior to entering into the leases, the properties were vacant and
the Partnership absorbed such costs. The benefit to property expense from the
absorption of the costs by lessees at the Moorestown and Reno properties was
partially offset by legal costs incurred in connection with the Partnership's
bankruptcy claim against New Valley Corporation. New Valley terminated its
leases on the Moorestown and Reno properties in 1993 and 1994, respectively, in
connection with its voluntary bankruptcy petition. A final ruling on the
Partnership's claim against New Valley is expected before the end of the year.
Although the Partnership believes it will ultimately receive substantial
proceeds from its claim, the amount cannot be currently estimated. The decrease
in interest expense was due to the refinancing of the mortgage loan
collateralized by the property leased to Unisource Worldwide, Inc. in 1996.

Financial Condition:

    There has been no material change in the Partnership's financial condition
since December 31, 1996. Cash flow from operations of $2,367,000 was sufficient
to fund quarterly distributions to partners of $1,061,000 and pay scheduled
mortgage principal installments of $664,000. In addition, operating cash flow
was sufficient to fully fund the final installment of improvements to the Excel
property during the first quarter of 1997. The Partnership currently has
mortgage debt outstanding on two properties. Both mortgage loans are scheduled
to fully amortize. The Partnership expects to pay off these loans from future
operating cash flow.

    As more fully described in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements,
the General Partners have distributed to Limited Partners a consent solicitation
which proposes an exchange of limited partnership units for securities in a
publicly-traded limited liability company. The exchange would not result in a
taxable event to the limited partners, and the General Partners believe that
this proposed transaction will provide limited partners with liquidity on a
tax-effective basis. There is no assurance that the proposed transaction will be
completed.
