                      (A California Limited Partnership)
                      MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
                               DECEMBER 31, 1996                                

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
The Partnership's current assets of $940,585 exceeded its current liabilities
of $88,920 providing an operating reserve of $851,655, which is greater than
the $455,000 target set by the General Partners.
	
In the unlikely event that the Partnership's reserves do not meet operating
needs, the Partnership's Pleasanton, California  motel will provide substantial
collateral against additional debt.

The Partnership has no material commitments for capital expenditures.  The
Partnership's guideline for replacements and renovation expenditures is
approximately 3% of room revenues.  Applicable expenditures during the first
three months of the fiscal year which will end on September 30, 1997, were
$21,975 or 5.1% of room revenues. Expenditures of this type are not expected to
exceed the General Partners' 3% guideline on a yearly basis.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
The following is a comparison of operating results for the three month periods
ended December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995.

Total revenues increased $70,399 or 18.6%. Guest room revenue increased $64,038
or 17.6% for the current period due to an increase in the occupancy rate to
76.3% (as compared with 71.0% for the corresponding period of the preceding
fiscal year) and an increase in  average room rate from  $54.48 in 1995 to
$59.71 in 1996 for the comparative periods.

Total expenditures increased $29,830 or 11.8% during the three months covered
by this report as compared to the previous fiscal year.   The expenditure
increase is associated with the improved occupancy.

FUTURE TRENDS
- -------------
The General Partners expect the Pleasanton motel to continue its improved
performance if the current improvement in  the general economic climate
continues.

In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all
adjustments which were necessary to a fair statement of results for the interim
periods presented.  All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
