ITEM 2.      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
- -------      ---------------------------------------------------------------
             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
             ---------------------

Since the sale of Pacesetter  Apartments in 1994, the focus of the Partnership's
efforts  have been  directed to the  renovation  program at Palm Bay  Apartments
(formerly known as Greentree Apartments).  During 1994 and 1995, the Partnership
completed capital improvements totaling $1,088,676.  The Partnership's  emphasis
in  1996  will be to  improve  the  rental  and  occupancy  rates  at  Palm  Bay
Apartments. Although the occupancy rate at Palm Bay Apartments has improved, the
Partnership has not been able to increase rental rates at Palm Bay Apartments as
quickly as had been hoped.

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

Revenues:

Rental  revenues  increased  $15,970 or 4.3% for the first three  months of 1996
compared to the first three months of 1995. The  Partnership  implemented  small
rental rate  increases at Palm Bay  Apartments.  Meanwhile,  vacancy losses have
started a downward trend as occupancy rates are beginning to improve.  Occupancy
at the end of the first quarter  improved to 93.4%,  up from 85.5% at the end of
1995.

The  Partnership  has not been able to increase  occupancy  rates or base rental
rates as quickly as was hoped.  Several  apartment  communities in the immediate
area have also  undergone  major  rehabilitation,  and several of the  competing
apartment  communities  are able to offer  their  units at rates  that have been
subsidized by various  government  programs.  The effect of the  competition has
restricted the increase in rental revenue that was otherwise  expected from Palm
Bay  Apartments.  Management has  implemented  various  marketing  strategies to
increase occupancy and improve the revenue growth of the property.


<PAGE>
Expenses:

Partnership expenses increased $40,336 or 10.1% for the three months ended March
31, 1996.  Increased  expenses  were  concentrated  in  depreciation,  personnel
expenses, and repair and maintenance expenses.

The largest increase, on both an absolute and percentage basis, was the increase
in repair and  maintenance  expense.  For the three months ended March 31, 1996,
repair and maintenance  expense increased $21,227 or 32%. Increased expenses for
grounds  maintenance and appliance  replacements  were the principal reasons for
the increase.

Personnel  expenses increased $16,328 or 29% for the first three months of 1996.
The Partnership has increased the level of staffing at Palm Bay Apartments in an
effort  to  provide  a  higher  level  of  service  to the  tenants  of Palm Bay
Apartments.  One of the  strategies the  Partnership is using the  differentiate
itself in the local  market is to  provide a greater  level of  services  to its
tenants.

Depreciation  increased  $17,832 or 23% for the first three  months of 1996.  In
1994 and 1995, the Partnership placed in service  approximately $1.08 million of
capital  improvements at Palm Bay Apartments.  These capital  improvements  have
increased  the  depreciation   expense   incurred  by  the  property.   The  new
improvements are generally being depreciated over lives ranging from five to ten
years.

Increases in repair and maintenance,  personnel  expenses and depreciation  were
partially  offset by a  $13,825  or 31%  decrease  in other  property  operating
expenses.  Most of the  decrease  is due to a  reduction  in bad  debt  expenses
incurred by the Partnership. In addition to improving Palm Bay's occupancy rate,
management  is  simultaneously  increasing  the credit  rating  requirements  of
tenants leasing units at Palm Bay. The improved credit  requirements have helped
to reduce bad debts incurred at the property.

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

Cash flows generated by operating activities of the Partnership were $56,238 for
the first three  months of 1996,  compared to $10,787 for the first three months
of 1995. The Partnership  anticipates  that the capital  renovation  projects at
Palm Bay Apartments will continue to yield improved cash flow from operations as
the restored and refurbished units are leased to new tenants. However, cash flow
from  Palm  Bay  Apartments  will  not be  sufficient  to fund  all  Partnership
operating  expenses and debt service  requirements  until the occupancy  rate of
Palm Bay Apartments improves.  For the balance of 1996, the Partnership will use
its  cash  reserves  to  fund  debt  service  requirements  if cash  flows  from
operations are insufficient.

Cash flows used in investing activities decreased to $23,559 from $186,580.  The
capital renovation program at Palm Bay Apartments is complete. The Partnership's
capital  improvement budget for 1996 forward should remain  substantially  below
the amounts incurred in 1995 and 1994.

The financing activities of the Partnership 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.


<PAGE>
Short Term Liquidity:

At March 31, 1996, the Partnership  held $522,778 of cash and cash  equivalents,
down  only  $611  from the  balance  at the end of  1995.  The  General  Partner
considers the Partnership's  cash reserves adequate for anticipated  Partnership
operations for the balance of 1996.

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 1996. The Partnership has budgeted $90,000
of  capital   improvements  for  1996.  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, 1996, $2,662,819 remained available for
borrowing under the facility;  however,  additional funds could become available
as other partnerships repay borrowings.  This commitment will terminate on March
30, 1997.

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.
