  Note 5.  Gain on Settlement:
           ------------------ 

  During 1991, The Leslie Fay Company ("Leslie Fay") informed the Partnership
  that it was exercising an option to purchase its leased property from the
  Partnership as of April 30, 1992.  Under the purchase option in the lease,
  Leslie Fay's purchase exercise price was to be the greater of $9,400,000, the
  Partnership's purchase price for the property in 1982, or the fair market
  value of the property as impacted by the lease as of the option exercise date.
  The process of determining the fair market value was underway when Leslie Fay
  filed suit to ask the court to intervene in order to determine the contractual
  interpretation of fair value.  The court ruled in favor of the Partnership and
  the ruling was upheld on appeal by the Pennsylvania Superior and Supreme
  Courts.  Leslie Fay also filed a second lawsuit seeking to transfer the
  property and other benefits of ownership.  In connection with this second
  suit, the court ordered Leslie Fay to pay $7,200,000 to the Partnership as
  partial payment for the purchase of the Leslie Fay property, post a surety
  bond for $15,000,000 and to continue making its monthly payments of $190,516
  to the Partnership, for application of such payments to the ultimate purchase
  price.  Effective January 1, 1995, the monthly payment was reduced to $65,000.
  For financial reporting purposes, the $7,200,000 payment and all subsequent
  monthly payments were recorded as installment payments at the time such
  payments were received by the Partnership.  In addition, Leslie Fay would be
  entitled to interest on its monthly installments and the Partnership would be
  entitled to interest on the difference between the ultimate purchase price and
  the initial $7,200,000 payment upon resolution of the second suit.

  On April 5, 1993, Leslie Fay filed a voluntary bankruptcy petition under
  Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code and continued to make monthly
  payments to the Partnership for the period subsequent to the filing of the
  petition.  Subsequent to the bankruptcy filing, Leslie Fay and the Partnership
  made a series of claims and counterclaims; however, Leslie Fay, the
  Partnership, the surety company and the Official Committee of Unsecured
  Creditors of Leslie Fay signed and entered into a compromise and settlement
  agreement in July 1995 which was intended to resolve the dispute between
  Leslie Fay and the Partnership.  The agreement was presented to the bankruptcy
  court on August 7, 1995 and subsequently approved.

  In connection with the compromise and settlement agreement, on August 29,
  1995, the Partnership received $5,250,000 plus interest of $174,149, from the
  surety company and, in turn, made a lump sum payment to Leslie Fay of
  $250,000.  In addition to the payment from the surety company, under the
  agreement the Partnership unconditionally retained ownership of the property
  as well as the aggregate installment payments received from Leslie Fay of
  $13,665,601, consisting of the initial payment of $7,200,000 and $6,465,601 of
  monthly payments.

  The Partnership is currently seeking to sell the property.  As the fair value
  of the property is no longer impacted by the Leslie Fay lease, the Partnership
  has reevaluated the estimated net realizable value of the property, net of
  anticipated selling costs, to $2,000,000 and recognized a noncash charge of
  $7,400,000 on the writedown.

  In connection with the settlement, the Partnership has recognized a gain of
  $11,499,176, which consists of aggregate net cash received from Leslie Fay and
  the surety company of $18,839,750 and the waiving of the $382,706 interest
  obligation that had been accrued on the Leslie Fay monthly payments, offset by
  the writedown to net realizable value of $7,400,000 and aggregate management
  fees, payable to an affiliate, of $323,280 on monthly payments received from
  Leslie Fay.  Under the compromise and settlement agreement, Leslie Fay is
  required to obtain dismissals with prejudice of all of its suits filed against
  the Partnership, and the Partnership's bankruptcy claim against Leslie Fay, as
  an unsecured creditor, has been reduced to $2,650,000.  The Partnership does
  not expect to realize the full amount of the bankruptcy claim.  The
  Partnership is still considering whether it will seek additional litigation
  remedies from the title insurer which insured title to the Leslie Fay
  property.

  As a result of the settlement, a special distribution of $120 per Limited
  Partner Unit ($7,920,000) was declared and paid in October 1995.  In addition,
  a special distribution of $50 per Limited Partner Unit ($3,300,000) was paid
  in 1992 subsequent to the receipt of the $7,200,000 installment from Leslie
  Fay.

                Item 2. - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF OPERATIONS
                -----------------------------------------------



  Results of Operations:
  --------------------- 

          Net income increased by $11,847,000 and $11,918,000 for the three-
  month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1995 as compared with the
  three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1994.  $11,499,000 of
  the increase was due to the gain on settlement resulting from the resolution
  of the Partnership's dispute with The Leslie Fay Company ("Leslie Fay") which
  is more fully described in Note 5 to the Financial Statements.  Net of the
  effects of this nonrecurring item, income would have reflected increases of
  $348,000 and $419,000 for the three-month and nine-month periods ended
  September 30, 1995, respectively.  The increases for both the three-month and
  nine-month periods were due to decreases in interest and property expenses and
  to an increase in other interest income.  The decrease in interest expense
  resulted from the payoff of $1,320,000 of three mortgage loans in the first
  quarter of 1995 and the continuing amortization of the Partnership's remaining
  nonrecourse mortgage loan encumbered by the properties leased to Gibson
  Greetings, Inc. ("Gibson").  During the nine-month period ended September 30,
  1995, the scheduled principal payments on the Gibson mortgage loan represented
  6% of the remaining balance of the loan.  The decrease in property expenses
  was due to the costs incurred in 1994 in connection with the Partnership's
  assessment of its liquidity alternatives.  Other interest income increased as
  the result of resolution of the Leslie Fay dispute - prior to the settlement
  with Leslie Fay, the net interest earned or due on the installments was
  recorded as a component of other interest income and, based on the net
  obligation to Leslie Fay, had reduced interest income.  For the three-month
  and nine-month periods, lease revenues reflected a moderate decrease due to
  the termination of the lease with the New Valley Corporation ("New Valley") in
  December 31, 1994 for a property in Reno, Nevada.  The Partnership is
  continuing its efforts to remarket the Reno property.

          In April 1995, the Partnership and Corporate Property Associates 2
  ("CPA(R):2"), an affiliate, which own as tenants-in-common a property in
  Moorestown, New Jersey and formerly leased to New Valley entered into a lease
  with Sports & Recreation, Inc. ("Sports & Recreation").  The Sports &
  Recreation lease provides for a feasibility period which has been extended to
  December 31, 1995.  Sports & Recreation is continuing to apply for the
  necessary regulatory approvals and is in the process of obtaining construction
  bids for the retrofitting of the property for conversion to a retail store.
  If the necessary approvals are ultimately received, the Partnership would
  initially receive annual rentals of approximately $188,000.  If retrofitting
  proceeds, the Partnership and CPA(R):2 have an obligation to reimburse Sports
  & Recreation for the cost of replacing the heating, ventilation and air
  conditioning systems and installing a new roof and drainage system.  There is
  no assurance that Sports & Recreation will exercise its option at the end of
  the feasibility period.  If such option is exercised, the initial term of the
  lease will be sixteen years.

          The Partnership and Corporate Property Associates 4 ("CPA(R):4"), an
  affiliate, own a property in Los Angeles, California leased to Hughes Markets,
  Inc. ("Hughes") which lease expires in April 1996.  Although the Partnership
  and CPA(R):4 are actively remarketing the property, they are also negotiating
  an eighteen month lease extension with Hughes.  Effective November 1, 1995,
  the Partnership's share of annual revenues will increase by $17,000 from a
  scheduled increase with Hughes.

  Financial Condition:
  ------------------- 

          Since December 31, 1994, the Partnership's capital has increased
  substantially as the result of the gain on the settlement of the dispute with
  Leslie Fay.  In connection with the settlement, including the receipt of a
  lump sum payment of $5,000,000 plus interest, a special return of capital
  distribution of $120 per Limited Partner Unit ($7,920,000) was declared and
  paid in October 1995.  Including this special distribution, the Partnership
  has made special distributions of $250 per Limited Partnership Unit,
  representing 50% of the initial cost of a Limited Partnership Unit, in
  addition to paying regular quarterly distributions.  Management believes that
  its cash balances

          Item 2. - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF OPERATIONS, Continued
          ----------------------------------------------------------



  Financial Condition (continued):
  ------------------------------- 

  of $4,138,000 (representing the balance of $12,058,000 at September 30, 1995
  adjusted for the subsequent payment of the special distribution) and cash from
  operating activities will be sufficient to meet the Partnership's cash
  requirements which currently consist of paying quarterly distributions and
  meeting scheduled mortgage principal payments.

          For the nine-months ended September 30, 1995, cash from operating
  activities, as adjusted for the nonrecurring benefit of the $5,174,000 lump
  sum payment received on settlement, was sufficient to fund quarterly
  distributions to partners of $3,523,000.  Management intends to provide future
  increases in the Partnership's distribution rate (the ratio of distributions
  to Limited Partner Adjusted Capital of $250 per Unit), however, the gross
  amount of such distributions are not expected to exceed the levels achieved
  prior to distributions of proceeds from the Leslie Fay settlement.  During the
  first quarter of 1995, the Partnership used $1,320,000 of its cash reserves to
  prepay three mortgage loans.  Because the rates of interest on mortgage
  obligations are greater than the rates of interest available for short-term
  money market instruments, Management believes that it is appropriate for the
  Partnership to use a portion of its cash reserves to prepay mortgages
  periodically or to pay a portion of scheduled principal payment requirements.
  Although there is a possibility that the Partnership and CPA(R):4 may need to
  incur carrying costs on the Hughes property, there is a reasonable probability
  that the lease will be extended until late 1997 which would give the
  Partnership the opportunity to minimize any period of vacancy which might
  occur after the extension term.  The Partnership is actively seeking a buyer
  for the property in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania formerly leased to Leslie Fay.
  Such a sale would be expected to contribute an additional $2,000,000 to the
  Partnership's cash reserves if a sale can be consummated in the near future.
  As a result of the terminations of the Reno and Moorestown leases in December
  1994 and May 1993, respectively, pursuant to New Valley's bankruptcy petition,
  the Partnership anticipates that it will ultimately receive a cash settlement
  of its claim against New Valley.  Even though New Valley's reorganization has
  been approved, the amount of such payment is still being negotiated and
  subject to approval by the bankruptcy court.  The Partnership also expects to
  receive a settlement of its bankruptcy claim against Leslie Fay; however, the
  amount of such settlement and its receipt by the Partnership cannot yet be
  determined.  To the extent that Sports & Recreation commences retrofitting the
  Moorestown property, the Partnership will have a commitment to reimburse
  certain costs as described above.  Management believes that its share of such
  reimbursement can be funded from existing cash reserves.

          The Partnership and CPA(R):2 own three properties as tenants-in-common
  which are leased to Gibson pursuant to a master lease.  In connection with
  Gibson's proposed sale of a subsidiary, Gibson has entered into negotiations
  with the Partnership and CPA(R):2 to sever a property in Memphis, Tennessee
  from the master lease.  Under a current proposal, Gibson would make a lump sum
  payment of $12,200,000 to the Partnership and CPA(R):2 (of which the
  Partnership's share is expected to be $8,723,000) in exchange for agreeing to
  modify the master lease and releasing Gibson from its lease obligation  on the
  Memphis property.  Under the proposed lease modification, Gibson would
  continue to lease the properties in Cincinnati, Ohio and Berea, Kentucky with
  the initial term extended from January 2002 to November 2013.  The annual rent
  would initially be $3,100,000 (of which the Partnership's share is expected to
  be approximately $2,367,000) with scheduled rent increases of 20% every five
  years.  Gibson would also be granted options to purchase its leased properties
  with such options exercisable in 2005 and 2010.  In addition, the company
  which is negotiating to purchase the Gibson subsidiary has agreed in principle
  to enter into a ten year lease with the Partnership and CPA(R):2 for the
  Memphis property at an annual rental of $1,500,000 (of which the Partnership's
  share is expected to be approximately $1,145,000).  The Partnership's share of
  annual rentals under the existing lease on the three properties is $5,963,000.
  The Partnership and CPA(R):2 currently plan to use the lump sum payment to
  payoff the mortgage loan on the Gibson properties which of which the
  Partnership's share of the outstanding balance is currently $13,190,000.  The
  Partnership is in the process of arranging financing which will be used to
  payoff its share of the Gibson mortgage loan.  There is no assurance that the
  proposed transactions will be completed.  The proposed transactions are not
  expected to have any current impact on the Partnership's distribution rate.
