                       MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                 OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
                                 MARCH 31, 1998

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of March 31, 1998, the Partnership's  current assets of $308,117 exceeded its
current  liabilities  of $145,086  thereby  providing  an  operating  reserve of
$163,031.  The  Partnership  distributed  $280,000 in accumulated  reserves as a
special  distribution  in March  1997.  The  normal  quarterly  distribution  is
expected to be around $7.50 per unit.

The Partnership  has equity in its Santa Rosa motel that could provide  security
for a loan against the  property.  The total annual cash flow for the Santa Rosa
property has been positive in recent years. This annual positive cash flow would
support a modest loan.

The   Partnership  has  no  material   commitments  for  capital   expenditures.
Expenditures for replacements and renovations during the first six months of the
fiscal year which will end on  September  30, 1998 were  $22,761 or 6.0% of room
revenues.  Included  in these  expenditures  was $7,995 for  exterior  painting,
$6,521 for guest  room  carpet and  vinyl,  $3,899 for a  replacement  lamps and
$1,919 for replacement televisions.  During the fiscal year ending September 30,
1998, the Partnership  anticipates  parking lot repairs to be paid from the cash
reserves.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The  following is a comparison  of operating  results for the six month  periods
ended March 31, 1998 and March 31, 1997.

Total revenues  decreased  $20,544 or 5.0% during the first six months of fiscal
year ending  September 30, 1998 as compared to the  corresponding  period of the
previous fiscal year.  Guest room revenue  decreased  $16,066 or 4.1% during the
period  covered by this report as  compared to the  previous  fiscal  year.  The
Partnership's  motel  experienced a decrease in its occupancy rate from 52.8% in
the previous  fiscal year  compared to 45.6% in the current  fiscal  year.  This
performance  decrease was partially  offset by an increase in average daily room
rate from $41.12 in the  corresponding  six month period of the previous  fiscal
year as compared to $45.71 during the six month period ended March 31, 1998. The
motel  experienced  decreased  occupancy  in the  leisure and  corporate  market
segments with partially offsetting improved occupancy in the discount segment.

Total expenses for the six month period ended March 31, 1998 increased  $143,545
or 36.2% from those incurred in the corresponding  period of the previous fiscal
year. The increased  expenditures  are due primarily to increases in the minimum
wage laws and to legal,  appraisal and other costs associated with the potential
liquidation of the partnership.

                           MARCH 31, 1997 (Continued)


FUTURE TRENDS

In the previous  fiscal year ended  September  30, 1997,  the Santa Rosa lodging
market  recovered after its poor  performance over the previous three years. The
General Partners expect the motel to achieve guest room rental income at no more
than that received during the previous fiscal year. The  Partnership's  economic
performance will be dependent on the trends in the Santa Rosa and nearby markets
on the Highway 101  corridor.  The  Partnership's  expenses  are subject to cost
inflation.

As  discussed  in  more  detail  in  the  following   section   labeled   "Legal
Proceedings,"  the General Partners have agreed to offer the motels for sale and
to present  any offer that equal or exceeds 75% of the  appraised  value for the
approval of the limited partners.

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.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

On October 27, 1997 a complaint was filed in the United States  District  Court,
Eastern District of California by the registrant,  the Managing General Partner,
and  four  other  limited  partnerships  (together  with  the  registrant,   the
"Partnerships")  as to which the  Managing  General  Partner  serves as  general
partner (i.e.,  Super 8 Motels,  Ltd., Super 8 Motels III, Ltd., Super 8 Economy
Lodging IV, Ltd. and Famous Host Lodging V, L.P.), as plaintiffs.  The complaint
named as defendants  Everest/Madison  Investors, LLC, Everest Lodging Investors,
LLC, Everest Properties, LLC, Everest Partners, LLC, Everest Properties II, LLC,
Everest  Properties,  Inc., W. Robert  Kohorst,  David I. Lesser,  The Blackacre
Capital Group,  L.P.,  Blackacre Capital  Management  Corp.,  Jeffrey B. Citron,
Ronald J.  Kravit,  and  Stephen P.  Enquist ( the  "Everest  Defendants").  The
factual basis underlying the plaintiffs'  causes of actions  pertained to tender
offers  directed  by  certain  of the  defendants  to  limited  partners  of the
Partnerships,  and to  indications of interest made by certain of the defendants
in purchasing  the property of the  Partnerships.  The  complaint  requested the
following  relief:  (i) a declaration  that each of the  defendants had violated
Sections  13(d),  14(d) and 14(e) of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934 (the
"Exchange Act"), and the rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and
Exchange  Commission  thereunder;   (ii)  a  declaration  that  certain  of  the
defendants  had  violated  Section  15(a) of the  Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder; (iii) an order permanently enjoining the defendants from
(a)  soliciting  tenders  of  or  accepting  for  purchase   securities  of  the
Partnerships,  (b)  exercising  any voting  rights  attendant to the  securities
already acquired, (c) soliciting proxies, and (d) violating Sections 13 or 14 of
the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations  promulgated  thereunder;  (iv) an
order enjoining  certain of the defendants  from violating  Section 15(a) of the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder;  (v) an order
directing  certain of the defendants to offer to each person who sold securities
to such  defendants the right to rescind such sale; and (vi) a declaration  that
the  Partnerships  need not provide to the defendants a list of limited partners
in the Partnerships or any other information  respecting the Partnerships  which
is not publicly available.

On October 28, 1997 a complaint was filed in the Superior  Court of the State of
California,   Sacramento   County  by  Everest   Lodging   Investors,   LLC  and
Everest/Madison  Investors,  LLC, as plaintiffs,  against  Philip B.  Grotewohl,
Grotewohl Management Services,  Inc., Kenneth M. Sanders,  Robert J. Dana, Borel
Associates,  and BWC  Incorporated,  as  defendants,  and the  Partnerships,  as
nominal defendants.  The factual basis underlying the causes of action pertained
to the  receipt  by the  defendants  of  franchise  fees  and  reimbursement  of
expenses,  the  indications of interest made by the plaintiffs in purchasing the
properties of the nominal defendants,  and the alleged refusal of the defendants
to provide  information  required by the terms of the Partnerships'  partnership
agreements and California law. The complaint requested the following relief: (i)
a  declaration  that the action has a proper  derivative  action;  (ii) an order
requiring the defendants to discharge their fiduciary duties to the Partnerships
and to enjoin them from breaching their fiduciary duties;  (iii) disgorgement of
certain profits; (iv) appointment of a receiver; and (v) an award for damages in
an amount to be determined.

                     PART II. OTHER INFORMATION (Continued)


On February 20, 1998, the parties  entered into a settlement  agreement and both
of the above complaints were dismissed.  Pursuant to the terms of the settlement
agreement,  among other things,  the General  Partner has agreed to proceed with
the marketing for sale of the  properties  of the  Partnerships,  if by June 30,
1998, it receives an offer to purchase one or more  properties  for a cash price
equal to 75% or more of the appraised  value.  In addition,  the General Partner
has agreed to submit the offer for approval to the limited  partners as required
by the  partnership  agreements and applicable law. The General Partner has also
agreed that upon the sale of one or more properties,  to distribute promptly the
proceeds of the sale after  payment of payables and retention of reserves to pay
anticipated expenses. The Everest Defendants agreed not to generally solicit the
acquisition of any  additional  units of the  Partnerships  without first filing
necessary  documents with the SEC. Under the terms of the settlement  agreement,
the  Partnerships  have agreed to reimburse the Everest  Defendants  for certain
costs not to exceed  $60,000,  to be allocated among the  Partnerships.  Of this
amount,  the Partnership will pay approximately  $12,000 during the year covered
by this report.
