                Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                (Unaudited)


1.  General
    -------

      The accompanying financial statements,  footnotes and discussion should be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes contained in the
Partnership's  Annual  Report  for the year ended  September  30,  1997.  In the
opinion of management,  the accompanying  financial  statements,  which have not
been audited,  reflect all  adjustments  necessary to present fairly the results
for the interim  period.  All of the  accounting  adjustments  reflected  in the
accompanying interim financial statements are of a normal recurring nature.

      The  accompanying  financial  statements have been prepared on the accrual
basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles
which require  management  to make  estimates  and  assumptions  that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent  assets
and  liabilities  as of June 30, 1998 and  September  30, 1997 and  revenues and
expenses  for the three and nine  months  ended June 30,  1998 and 1997.  Actual
results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used.

      As of June 30, 1998,  the  Partnership  had two  remaining  joint  venture
investments,  the Charter  Oak  Apartments  (see Note 3) and the Bristol  Pointe
Apartments  (see Note 4). The Charter Oak  property was sold  subsequent  to the
quarter  end, on July 16,  1998.  Management  of the  Partnership  is  currently
pursuing the possible sale of the final asset and a potential liquidation of the
Partnership which could be accomplished prior to the end of calendar 1998. There
are no assurances,  however, that the disposition of the Partnership's remaining
asset and a liquidation of the Partnership will be accomplished within this time
frame.

2.  Related Party Transactions
    --------------------------

      Included in general and administrative expenses for the nine-month periods
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 is $67,000 and $64,000, respectively,  representing
reimbursements  to an affiliate of the Managing  General  Partner for  providing
certain  financial,  accounting  and  investor  communication  services  to  the
Partnership.

      Also  included  in general  and  administrative  expenses  for both of the
nine-month  periods  ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 is $2,000,  representing  fees
earned by an affiliate,  Mitchell Hutchins  Institutional  Investors,  Inc., for
managing the Partnership's cash assets.

3.  Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Venture
    ------------------------------------------

      At June 30, 1998, the Partnership had an investment in one  unconsolidated
joint  venture,  Charter Oak  Associates,  which owned an  operating  investment
property  as more  fully  described  in the  Partnership's  Annual  Report.  The
unconsolidated  joint  venture  is  accounted  for on the  equity  method in the
Partnership's  financial  statements  because  the  Partnership  does not have a
voting control  interest in the venture.  Under the equity  method,  the assets,
liabilities,  revenues  and  expenses of the joint  venture do not appear in the
Partnership's  financial statements.  Instead, the investment is carried at cost
adjusted  for the  Partnership's  share of the  venture's  earnings,  losses and
distributions.

      Subsequent  to the end of the  quarter,  on July  16,  1998,  Charter  Oak
Associates  sold the  property  known as the Charter Oak  Apartments  located in
Creve  Coeur,  Missouri,  to an  unrelated  third party for $21.4  million.  The
Partnership received net proceeds of $8,703,000 after deducting closing costs of
$251,000,  closing  proration  adjustments  of  $370,000,  the  repayment of the
existing first mortgage loan of $9,898,000,  related accrued interest of $61,000
and a payment of  $2,117,000  to the  Partnership's  co-venture  partner for its
share of the sales proceeds in accordance with the joint venture  agreement.  In
addition to the net sale proceeds, the Partnership will receive its share of the
net cash flow from the  operations  of Charter  Oak through the date of the sale
upon the dissolution of the joint venture, which is expected to occur within the
next 2- to -3 months. The Partnership anticipates that it will distribute all of
the net sales  proceeds  from the sale of Charter  Oak on or before  October 15,
1998 after it received final  documentation  from HUD of its formal  approval of
the  prepayment of the  HUD-insured  first  mortgage loan which  encumbered  the
Charter Oak property.  The receipt of such approval  should be a mere formality.
The Partnership expects to receive HUD approval by mid-September 1998.

4.  Operating Investment Property
    -----------------------------

      Operating  investment  property  at June 30, 1998 and  September  30, 1997
represents the land, buildings and equipment of Arlington Towne Oaks Associates,
a joint  venture  in  which  the  Partnership  has a  controlling  interest.  As
discussed  further in the Annual  Report,  during fiscal 1991 the  Partnership's
co-venture partner in Arlington Towne Oaks Associates  withdrew from the venture
and assigned its interest to the Managing  General Partner of the Partnership in
return for a release from any further obligations.  As a result, the Partnership
assumed  control  over  the  affairs  of the  joint  venture.  Accordingly,  the
accompanying  financial statements present the financial position and results of
operations of the joint venture on a consolidated  basis. The joint venture owns
and operates a 320-unit apartment complex known as the Bristol Pointe Apartments
(formerly the Towne Oaks Apartments) in Arlington, Texas.

      The  Partnership is utilizing a local,  unaffiliated  property  management
company to operate the property  under the  direction  of the  Managing  General
Partner. The following is a summary of property operating expenses for the three
and nine months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 (in thousands):

5.  Long-term Debt
    --------------

      Long-term  debt at June 30, 1998 and  September  30,  1997  relates to the
consolidated joint venture,  Arlington Towne Oaks Associates,  and is summarized

                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
             OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Information Relating to Forward-Looking Statements
- --------------------------------------------------

      The following  discussion of financial condition includes  forward-looking
statements  which  reflect  management's  current  views with  respect to future
events and  financial  performance  of the  Partnership.  These  forward-looking
statements  are  subject to certain  risks and  uncertainties,  including  those
identified  in Item 7 of the  Partnership's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended  September  30, 1997 under the  heading  "Certain  Factors  Affecting
Future Operating Results", which could cause actual results to differ materially
from historical  results or those  anticipated.  The words "believe",  "expect",
"anticipate,"  and  similar  expressions  identify  forward-looking  statements.
Readers  are  cautioned  not to place undue  reliance  on these  forward-looking
statements,  which were made based on facts and conditions as they existed as of
the date of this report.  The  Partnership  undertakes no obligation to publicly
update or revise  any  forward-looking  statements,  whether  as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

      Subsequent  to the end of the  third  fiscal  quarter,  on July 16,  1998,
Charter  Oak  Associates,  a joint  venture  in  which  the  Partnership  has an
interest, sold the property known as the Charter Oak Apartments located in Creve
Coeur,  Missouri, to an unrelated third party for $21.4 million. The Partnership
received net proceeds of $8,703,000  after deducting  closing costs of $251,000,
closing proration  adjustments of $370,000,  the repayment of the existing first
mortgage loan of $9,898,000,  related accrued  interest of $61,000 and a payment
of $2,117,000 to the Partnership's co-venture partner for its share of the sales
proceeds in accordance with the joint venture agreement.  In addition to the net
sale proceeds,  the Partnership will receive its share of the net cash flow from
the operations of Charter Oak through the date of the sale upon the  dissolution
of the  joint  venture,  which is  expected  to occur  within  the next 2- to -3
months.

      As  previously  reported,  during  the second  quarter of fiscal  1998 the
Partnership and its co-venture  partner had selected a local brokerage firm with
a strong  background  in selling  apartment  properties in the St. Louis area to
market the Charter Oak  property for sale.  Subsequent  to the end of the second
quarter,  a marketing package was prepared and comprehensive  sale efforts began
in May  1998.  As a result of those  efforts,  twenty-nine  offers  to  purchase
Charter Oak were received.  The  prospective  purchasers  were then requested to
submit best and final offers. Eight of the prospective buyers submitted best and
final  offers.  After  completing an evaluation of these offers and the relative
strength of the  prospective  purchasers,  the  Partnership  and its  co-venture
partner  selected an offer. A purchase and sale  agreement was  negotiated  with
this  prospective  buyer and the sale  transaction  was closed on July 16, 1998.
Management  believed  that a current sale of the Charter Oak property was in the
best interests of the Limited  Partners due to the  exceptionally  strong market
conditions  that exist at the present time and which resulted in the achievement
of a very favorable  selling price.  The  Partnership  anticipates  that it will
distribute  all of the net sales  proceeds  from the sale of  Charter  Oak on or
before  October 15, 1998 after it receives final  documentation  from HUD of its
formal approval of the prepayment of the  HUD-insured  first mortgage loan which
encumbered  the Charter Oak property.  The receipt of such approval  should be a
mere formality. The Partnership expects to receive HUD approval by mid-September
1998.

      Subsequent to the sale of the Charter Oak property, the Partnership's only
remaining real estate asset is its joint venture  interest in the Bristol Pointe
Apartments.  As previously reported,  the Partnership has been in the process of
actively  marketing  this  property  for  sale  with  a  goal  of  completing  a
liquidation of the  Partnership  prior to the end of calendar 1998. As discussed
further  below,  the Bristol  Pointe  property is currently  subject to a signed
purchase and sale  agreement.  Nonetheless,  until the  prospective  buyer fully
performs under the terms of this contract, there are no assurances that the sale
of the remaining asset and the liquidation of the Partnership  will be completed
within this time frame.

      During the third quarter of fiscal 1998,  occupancy at the Bristol  Pointe
Apartments  averaged 94%, compared to 95% for the same period in the prior year.
The current occupancy level remains in line with those of competitive properties
in the local market.  The strong  occupancy at Bristol Pointe is attributable to
an  aggressive  marketing  program  involving  the  use  of  rental  concessions
implemented  by the  property  management  team.  The  program  was  designed to
increase  the  number  of  prospective  tenants  looking  to lease  units at the
property  and to  retain  as much of the  existing  resident  base as  possible.
Although the local apartment rental market in the greater Dallas, Texas area has
softened  recently,  improvements  made to the unit  interiors at Bristol Pointe
over the past two years and other  recent  improvements  made to the property in
conjunction  with the new marketing  program have increased  prospective  tenant
traffic  at Bristol  Pointe  dramatically  in recent  quarters.  The  property's
leasing  team  signed 40 new leases and  renewed an  additional  65 leases  with
existing tenants during the third quarter.  All of the cash flow from operations
at Bristol  Pointe have been  reinvested  in the apartment  interior  renovation
programs. The interior renovations range from repainting and carpet replacement,
where needed,  to the complete retrofit of the fixtures,  cabinets,  heating and
air conditioning equipment and the replacement of all appliances in each unit.

      During  the second  quarter  of fiscal  1998,  the  Partnership  initiated
discussions with area real estate brokerage firms in order to explore  potential
opportunities  for selling the Bristol Pointe  property and solicited  marketing
proposals from three of these firms. After reviewing their respective  proposals
and conducting  extensive  interviews,  the Partnership  selected a Dallas-based
brokerage  firm that is a leading  seller of apartment  properties.  A marketing
package was subsequently  finalized,  and  comprehensive  sales efforts began in
early May 1998. As a result of those efforts, eighteen offers were received. The
prospective  purchasers  were then  requested  to submit best and final  offers.
Seven  of  the  prospective  buyers  submitted  best  and  final  offers.  After
completing  an  evaluation  of these  offers and the  relative  strength  of the
prospective  purchasers,  the Partnership selected an offer. A purchase and sale
agreement was negotiated with this unrelated  third-party  prospective buyer and
the due diligence work was completed on July 24, 1998. The prospective buyer has
made a non-refundable  deposit of $150,000 and the Partnership  expects to close
on this transaction by August 31, 1998.

      At June 30, 1998, the Partnership and its  consolidated  joint venture had
available cash and cash equivalents of $901,000.  Such cash and cash equivalents
will be utilized for the  Partnership's  working  capital  requirements  and, if
necessary,  to fund property operating deficits and capital  improvements of the
remaining  joint venture in accordance  with the joint  venture  agreement.  The
source of future  liquidity and  distributions to the partners is expected to be
through  cash  generated  from  operations  of  the   Partnership's   investment
properties and proceeds from the sale or refinancing of the remaining  property.
Such  sources  of  liquidity   are  expected  to  be   sufficient  to  meet  the
Partnership's needs through its expected liquidation date.

Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 1998
- --------------------------------

     The  Partnership  reported net income of $21,000 for the three months ended
June 30,  1998,  as compared to a net loss of $43,000 for the same period in the
prior year. This favorable change in the Partnership's net operating results for
the current three-month period was the result of a decrease in the Partnership's
operating  loss  of  $61,000  and an  increase  in the  Partnership's  share  of
unconsolidated  venture's  income of $3,000.  The decrease in the  Partnership's
operating loss is primarily  attributable  to an increase in rental  revenues at
the  consolidated  Bristol Pointe  Apartments which resulted from higher average
rental rates for the current three-month period. In addition, property operating
expenses  at  Bristol  Pointe  decreased  for  the  current  three-month  period
primarily due to reductions in repairs and maintenance and advertising expenses.

     The Partnership's share of unconsolidated  venture's income, which reflects
the operations of Charter Oak Associates,  increased in the current  three-month
period mainly due to an increase in rental revenues.  Rental revenues  increased
at Charter Oak mainly due to an increase in average  occupancy at the  property.
The increase in rental  revenues was  partially  offset by increases in property
operating  expenses  and  depreciation  expense.  Operating  expenses  increased
primarily due to higher professional fees.  Depreciation  expense increased as a
result of the ongoing capital improvement program at the property.

Nine Months Ended June 30, 1998
- -------------------------------

     The  Partnership  reported net income of $143,000 for the nine months ended
June 30,  1998,  as compared to a net loss of $79,000 for the same period in the
prior year. This favorable change in the Partnership's net operating results for
the current  nine-month period was the result of a decrease in the Partnership's
operating  loss of  $255,000  which was  partially  offset by a decrease  in the
Partnership's share of unconsolidated  venture's income of $33,000. The decrease
in the Partnership's  operating loss is primarily attributable to an increase in
rental revenues at the consolidated  Bristol Pointe Apartments of $191,000.  The
increase in rental revenues resulted from improved occupancy and rental rates at
the property for the current nine-month period. In addition,  property operating
expenses at Bristol  Pointe  decreased  by $112,000  for the current  nine-month
period primarily due to reductions in repairs and  maintenance,  advertising and
utilities expenses. The increase in rental revenues and the decrease in property
operating expenses was partially offset by an increase in deprecation expense of
$51,000. Depreciation expense increased due to the significant capital additions
which have occurred at Bristol Pointe during fiscal 1997 and 1998.

     The Partnership's share of unconsolidated  venture's income, which reflects
the  operations of Charter Oak  Associates,  decreased by $33,000 in the current
nine-month  period  mainly  due to an  increase  in the  venture's  depreciation
expense of $88,000.  Depreciation  expense  increased as a result of the ongoing
capital  improvement  program at the  Charter  Oak  property.  The  increase  in
deprecation expense was partially offset by an increase in rental revenues and a
decrease in interest  expense.  Rental revenues  increased mainly as a result of
improved occupancy at Charter Oak compared to the same period in the prior year.
Interest expense decreased due to the regular monthly principal payments made on
the mortgage loan encumbering the property.
