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  has  been 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 at Palm Bay Apartments  increased  $87,341 and $103,311 or 25.8%
and 14.5% for the three  month and six  month  periods  ended  June 30,  1996 as
compared to the similar  periods of 1995.  Although  small rental rate increases
have been implemented,  most of the increase in rental revenues is from improved
occupancy  rates at the property.  The occupancy rate at June 30 had improved to
95.1%, up from 85.5% at December 31, 1995.

Although occupancy rates are finally improving, the Partnership has not yet been
able to  increase  base  rental  rates as  quickly  as had been  hoped.  Several
apartment  communities  in the  immediate  area  of  Palm  Bay  Apartments  have
undergone major rehabilitation,  and several competing apartment communities are
able to offer their  units at rates that are  subsidized  by various  government
programs.  The effect of this competition has restricted  expected  increases in
rental rates at Palm Bay  Apartments.  After  occupancy  rates  stabilize in the
mid-90% range,  Management  hopes to resume rental rate increases to improve the
revenue growth of the property.





<PAGE>

Expenses:

Partnership  expenses decreased $25,488 or 6.0% in the second quarter of 1996 as
compared to the second  quarter of 1995. For the six month period ended June 30,
expenses  increased  $14,848  or 1.8% in 1996 as  compared  to  1995.  Increased
expenses were  concentrated in depreciation,  personnel  expenses,  and property
management fees.

Depreciation  increased  $31,377  or 19.3% for the  first six  months of 1996 as
compared to the same period of 1995.  In the twelve  months ended June 30, 1996,
the Partnership  placed in service $291,284 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.

Personnel  expenses  increased $16,139 or 13.4% for the first six months of 1996
as compared to the same period of 1995. 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.

Property  management fees increased  $8,018 or 19.8% for the first six months of
1996 as compared to the same period of 1995.  Increased  rental revenue caused a
corresponding  increase  in  property  management  fees  which  are  based  on a
percentage of the revenue of the Partnership's property.

Besides the increased expenses discussed above, the Partnership incurred reduced
expenses for  utilities,  other  property  operating  expenses,  and general and
administrative expenses paid to affiliates. The increase in Palm Bay Apartments'
occupancy  rate  resulted  in a  20%  reduction  in  utility  expenditures.  The
Partnership's tenants pay for most of their own utilities. As the occupancy rate
increases,  there are fewer units incurring utility charges at the Partnership's
expense.  Other property  operating expenses decreased 23% due to a reduction in
bad  debt  expenses   incurred  by  the   Partnership.   Finally,   general  and
administrative  expenses  paid to  affiliates  decreased  52% due to a  one-time
downward adjustment in the amount of such expenses paid to the General Partner.

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

Cash generated by Partnership  operating activities amounted to $175,964 for the
first six  months  of 1996,  an  improvement  over the  $15,274  of cash used by
operating  activities  during  the first six  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.  The General  Partner  anticipates
that cash flow from  operations  for the balance of 1996 will be  sufficient  to
fund Partnership  operating expenses,  debt service  requirements,  and budgeted
capital  improvements.  If cash flows from operations are not sufficient to meet
Partnership obligations, the Partnership will use its cash reserves to fund such
deficits.

For the six months ended June 30, 1996, cash flows used in investing  activities
decreased to $99,139 from $248,758 in 1995.  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.
<PAGE>

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.

Short Term Liquidity:

At June 30, 1996, the Partnership held $532,900 of cash and cash equivalents, up
$9,511 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.

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 June 30, 1996, $4,082,159 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.

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. Most of the  Partnership's  budgeted
capital  improvement  projects  for 1996 have  already  been  completed.  If the
Partnership's cash position deteriorates, the General Partner may elect to defer
completion of capital improvements,  except where such improvements are expected
to increase the competitiveness or marketability of the Partnership's property.

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

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

dismissed without prejudice by the respective plaintiffs in such action.

ITEM 5.  OTHER INFORMATION
- -------  -----------------

On August 5, 1996, High River Limited  Partnership ("High River"), a partnership
controlled  by Carl Icahn  ("Icahn"),  and  certain  Icahn's  affiliates,  filed
documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission disclosing that High River
had entered into a letter  agreement dated August 2, 1996 with the attorneys for
the plaintiffs in the case styled James F. Schofield,  et. al. ("Plaintiffs") v.
McNeil  Partners,  L.P.,  et. al. The letter  agreement  provided,  among  other
things, that (i) High River will commence, as soon as possible,  but in no event
more than six months, a tender offer for any and all of the outstanding Units of
the Partnership and other  affiliated  partnerships  (the  "Partnerships")  at a
price that is not less than 75% of the estimated  liquidation value of the Units
(as determined by utilizing the same  methodology that was used to determine the
liquidation  values in High River's previous tender offers for the Partnerships,
as previously disclosed),  which tender offer may be subject to such other terms
and  conditions  as High River  determines in its sole  discretion;  (ii) in the
event that High River  attains  the  position  of general  partner in any of the
Partnerships:  (a) High River  will take all  actions  necessary  to cause a 25%
reduction  of fees of such  Partnerships,  (b) High  River  will not cause  such
Partnerships  to take any action to discontinue  the litigation  with respect to
receivable claims and (c) High River and Plaintiffs'  counsel will in good faith
execute an  appropriate  Stipulation  of Settlement  based upon the terms of the
letter agreement,  which stipulation shall not include a settlement or provide a
release  of the  receivable  claims;  and  (iii)  from and after the date of the
letter  agreement,  Plaintiffs'  counsel  agreed  they will not  enter  into any
settlement of the claims  asserted in such  litigation that does not provide for
all consideration contained in a demand letter dated June 24, 1996.
