In the opinion of management,  the financial  statements reflect all adjustments
necessary for a fair  presentation of the Partnership's  financial  position and
results  of  operations.  All  adjustments  were of a normal  recurring  nature.
However,  the results of  operations  for the three months ended March 31, 1995,
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending
December 31, 1995.

NOTE 2.

The  financial  statements  should  be read in  conjunction  with the  financial
statements  contained in the  Partnership's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the

The General Partner is entitled to receive a partnership management fee equal to
9.5% of  distributions  of cash from  operations  when  distributable  cash from
operations is distributed  to the limited  partners.  No partnership  management
fees were incurred during the three month periods ended March 31, 1995 and 1994.

The  Partnership  pays property  management fees equal to 6% of the gross rental
receipts of the Partnership's  property to McNeil Real Estate  Management,  Inc.
("McREMI"),  an  affiliate  of  the  General  Partner,  for  providing  property
management  and  leasing  services  for the  Partnership's  property.  Prior  to
December 31, 1994, the Partnership paid property  management fees equal to 5% of

Since the sale of  Pacesetter  Apartments  on March 17,  1994,  the focus of the
Partnership's  efforts have been directed to the renovation  program at Palm Bay
Apartments (formerly known as Greentree Apartments).  From the beginning of 1994
through  the first  quarter  of 1995,  the  Partnership  has  completed  capital
renovation projects totaling $834,350. To date, occupancy at Palm Bay Apartments
has not recovered as much as was hoped. At March 31, 1995, occupancy at Palm Bay
Apartments  stood at 78.9%.  As the capital  renovation  program winds down, the
focus of the Partnership  will turn to leasing the restored units and increasing
operating efficiencies at the property.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

The  Partnership  reported  a loss of  $13,693  for the  first  quarter  of 1995
compared to net income of $552,397  for the first  quarter of 1994.  The results
for 1994's first  quarter  included a one-time gain of $574,701 from the sale of
Pacesetter  Apartments.  Rental revenues and operating  expenses were both lower
for the first  quarter of 1995  because the 1995  figures do not include  rental
revenues or expenses of Pacesetter Apartments as do the 1994 figures.

Revenues:

Rental revenues decreased $102,235 or 21% for the first quarter of 1995 compared
to the first quarter of 1994. The decrease is entirely  attributable to the sale
of Pacesetter  Apartments in March 1994. Rental revenue from Palm Bay Apartments
increased  $54,247 or 17.4%. The Partnership was able to increase both occupancy
and base rental rates due to the major capital  improvements  undertaken at Palm
Bay Apartments.

Interest revenues increased nearly five times to $8,969 for the first quarter of
1995. The Partnership had substantially more funds invested in  interest-bearing
accounts due to the sale of Pacesetter Apartments in the first quarter of 1994.

Revenues  for  1994  also  include  the  one-time  gain on  sale  of  Pacesetter
Apartments.

Expenses:

Partnership  expenses  decreased $74,016 or 14.8% for the first quarter of 1995.
However, after excluding expenses pertaining to Pacesetter Apartments,  expenses
increased  $79,646  or 23% in the first  quarter  of 1995.  The  increases  were
concentrated in depreciation,  personnel expenses, repairs and maintenance,  and
property management fees.

Depreciation  expense  at Palm Bay  Apartments  increased  $32,280 or 71% in the
first  quarter of 1995  compared to the first  quarter of 1994.  The increase in
depreciation  expense  is  due  to  the  continuing  investment  of  Partnership
resources  into  capital  improvements.  In the year since March 31,  1994,  the
Partnership  has  invested  $814,689  in  capital  improvements.  These  capital
improvements are generally being depreciated over lives ranging from five to ten
years.

Personnel  expenses  decreased  $43,408  for the  Partnership,  but  most of the
decrease was due to the  elimination  of expenses  from  Pacesetter  Apartments.
Personnel expenses decreased $7,453 or 11.7% at Palm Bay Apartments in the first
quarter compared to the first quarter of 1994. Personnel expenses were unusually
high  during  the  first  quarter  of  1994  at the  commencement  of the  major
renovation  program at Palm Bay Apartments.  Over the long term, the Partnership
expects  personnel  expenses  at Palm  Bay  Apartments  to  increase  due to the
Partnership's effort to increase occupancy rates by the continuous refurbishment
of  residential  units  and  upgrade  of  services  offered  to  tenants.   Such
improvements are partially  achieved through higher  maintenance  standards that
require additional personnel to implement.

Property management fees incurred at Palm Bay Apartments increased $5,849 or 38%
for the first quarter of 1995 compared to the first quarter of 1994. An increase
in rental  receipts,  upon  which such fees are based,  and an  increase  in the
management  fee  percentage to 6% from 5%  (effective  January 1, 1995) were the
reasons for the increase.

Other  property  operating   expenses   increased   substantially  at  Palm  Bay
Apartments.  Efforts to refurbish down units and intensive leasing activity have
increased a number of expenses to  unusually  high levels.  The General  Partner
anticipates  that these  expenses will moderate  after the  restoration  plan is
complete and the restored units have been leased. The increase in other property
operating expenses at Palm Bay Apartments totaled $17,669 or 67%.

Property  tax  expense  decreased  $25,089  in the  first  quarter.  Most of the
decrease was due to the elimination of property taxes at Pacesetter  Apartments.
However,  property taxes also  decreased  $5,001 or 14.5% at Palm Bay Apartments
due to lower assessments from local taxing jurisdictions.

The Partnership  incurred reduced interest expense for the first quarter of 1995
compared to the first quarter of 1994.  Again, the reason was the elimination of
interest charges pertaining to the Pacesetter mortgage note.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

The Partnership's cash flows from operating activities improved substantially to
$10,787 during the first quarter of 1995, compared to $110,214 used in operating
activities  during  the first  quarter of 1994.  Elimination  of  operations  at
Pacesetter  Apartments  immediately  improved  the  operating  cash  flow of the
Partnership. The Partnership anticipates that the capital renovation projects at
Palm Bay Apartments  will begin to yield  improved cash flow from  operations as
the restored  and  refurbished  units are leased to new tenants.  Cash flow from
Palm Bay  Apartments is  anticipated  to be  sufficient  to fund both  operating
expenses and debt service requirements for the balance of 1995.

The sale of Pacesetter  Apartments in March 1994, provided the largest change in
the cash flows of the Partnership. Cash generated from the sale, after repayment
of the Pacesetter mortgage note, totaled $1,655,173.  The Partnership used these
proceeds to fund capital  improvements at Palm Bay Apartments and to improve the
Partnership's cash reserves.  Cash expended for capital improvements at Palm Bay
Apartments  increased to $186,580 for the first quarter of 1995 from $19,661 for
the first quarter of 1994.

The  financing  activities  of  the  Partnership,  aside  from  the  March  1994
retirement of the Pacesetter mortgage note, consist of the repayment of the Palm
Bay mortgage  note through  monthly debt service  payments.  These  payments are
scheduled to gradually increase until June 1997, when the Palm Bay mortgage note
matures.

Short Term Liquidity:

Due to the sale of  Pacesetter  Apartments  on March 17, 1994,  the  Partnership
began 1995 with adequate cash  reserves.  A substantial  portion of the proceeds
from  the  sale  of  Pacesetter   Apartments   have  been  invested  in  capital
improvements  at Palm Bay Apartments.  The Partnership has budgeted  $302,000 of
capital   improvements   for  1995  in  addition  to  the  $678,720  of  capital
improvements  made during 1994 and 1993.  The capital  improvements  at Palm Bay
Apartments  are necessary to allow the property to increase its rental  revenues
and become competitive in the Orlando sub-market where the property is located.

At March 31, 1995, the Partnership  held $845,738 of cash and cash  equivalents,
down  $216,623  from  the  balance  at the  end of  1994.  The  General  Partner
anticipates  that cash generated from  operations for the remainder of 1995 will
be  sufficient  to fund the  Partnership's  operating  expenses and debt service
requirements  and to  partially  pay  for  budgeted  capital  improvements.  The
Partnership  will use its cash  reserves,  if  necessary to complete the capital
renovation  projects at Palm Bay Apartments.  The General Partner  considers the
Partnership's cash reserves adequate for such uses for the balance of 1995.

Long Term Liquidity:

For the long term,  property operations will remain the primary source of funds.
While the present outlook for the Partnership's  liquidity is favorable,  market
conditions  may change and  property  operations  may  deteriorate.  The General
Partner expects that the capital  improvements at Palm Bay Apartments will yield
improved cash flow from  operations  in 1995.  The  Partnership  has budgeted an
additional  $115,000 of capital  improvements  for the  balance of 1995.  If the
Partnership's cash position deteriorates, the General Partner may elect to defer
certain of the capital improvements, except where such improvements are expected
to increase the competitiveness or marketability of the Partnership's property.

The General  Partner has  established a revolving  credit facility not to exceed
$5,000,000 in the aggregate  which is available on a "first-come,  first-served"
basis to the Partnership and other affiliated partnerships if certain conditions
are met.  However,  there is no  assurance  that the  Partnership  will  receive
additional  funds under the facility because no amounts will be reserved for any
particular partnership.  As of March 31, 1995, $2,102,530 remained available for
borrowing under the facility;  however,  additional funds could become available
as other partnerships repay borrowings.

As a  additional  source of  liquidity,  the  General  Partner  may  attempt  to
refinance the Palm Bay mortgage note. The General Partner  estimates that such a
refinancing  could  yield  proceeds to the  Partnership  in excess of the amount
needed to retire the current mortgage note.  However,  there can be no guarantee
that the Partnership  will be able to obtain such mortgage  refinancing on terms
or in amounts favorable to the Partnership,  or that the cash proceeds from such
refinancing  could  be  timed  to  coincide  with  the  liquidity  needs  of the
Partnership.

Distributions:

Distributions  to partners have been suspended as part of the General  Partner's
policy of maintaining adequate cash reserves. Distributions to Unit holders will
remain suspended for the foreseeable  future.  The General Partner will continue
to monitor the cash  reserves and working  capital needs of the  Partnership  to
determine when cash flows will support distributions to the Unit holders.
