                                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with
the Partnership's 1994 Annual Report.  In the opinion of the general
partner, all adjustments (only consisting of normal recurring accruals)
necessary for a fair presentation have been made to the accompanying
financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994.

1.     Cash and Equivalents - Restricted

3.     Related Party Transactions

       Property management fees of $38,490 and $35,762 for the three months
       ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, were paid to NTS
       Development Company, an affiliate of the general partner, pursuant to an
       agreement with the Partnership.  The fee is equal to 5% of gross
       revenues from the Partnership's properties.  Also permitted by the
       partnership agreement, NTS Development Company will receive a repair and
       maintenance fee equal to 5.9% of costs incurred which relate to capital
       improvements.  The Partnership has incurred $5,533 and $4,531 as a
       repair and maintenance fee during the three months ended March 31, 1995
       and 1994, respectively, and has capitalized this cost as a part of land,
       buildings and amenities.  As permitted by the partnership agreement, the
       Partnership also was charged the following amounts from NTS Development
       Company for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994.  These
       charges include items which have been expensed as operating expenses -
       affiliated or professional and administrative expenses - affiliated and
       items which have been capitalized as other assets or as land, buildings
       and amenities.

       During the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, NTS Development
       Company leased approximately 23,000 square feet of the available space
       in the Plainview Plaza II property at a base rent of approximately
       $13.50 per square foot.  The Partnership has received approximately
       $80,000 in rental payments from NTS Development Company during the three
       months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994.  The lease expires in February
       1996. 

4.     Commitments

       As of March 31, 1995, the Partnership had the following material
       commitments for major capital improvements.  At Plainview Plaza II, the
       Partnership has a material commitment for approximately $80,000 to
       renovate common area lobbies.  The project is to include an upgrade of
       current restroom facilities, improvement of handicap restroom
       facilities, new carpet and wallcoverings.  At Peachtree Corporate
       Center, the Partnership has material commitments to replace the asphalt
       paving for approximately $37,000 and to paint the business park's
       building exteriors for approximately $38,000.  The Partnership had no
       other material commitments for renovations or capital improvements as of
       March 31, 1995.

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

Results of Operations

The occupancy levels at the Partnership's properties as of March 31 were as
follows:

                                                1995        1994  

         Plainview Plaza II                      85%         83%  

         Plainview Triad North                   95%         93%  

         Peachtree Corporate Center              85%         80%  

The rental and other income generated by the Partnership's properties for
the three months ended March 31 was as follows:

                                                1995        1994  

         Plainview Plaza II                   $285,163     $271,188

         Plainview Triad North                $226,513     $226,535

         Peachtree Corporate Center           $254,475     $241,965

Plainview Plaza II's occupancy increased 2% from March 31, 1994 to March 31,
1995 as a result of two new leases totalling approximately 5,600 square
feet.  Partially offsetting the new leases are two tenants, who had occupied
approximately 3,000 square feet, vacating at the end of the lease terms. 
Average occupancy at Plainview Plaza II increased from 83% in 1994 to 86%
in 1995.  The increase in rental and other income at Plainview Plaza II for
the three months ended March 31, 1995 as compared to March 31, 1994 is due
to the increase in average occupancy.

The 2% increase in occupancy at Plainview Triad North from March 31, 1994
to March 31, 1995 is the result of two new leases totalling approximately
7,100 square feet, both of which represent expansions by current tenants. 
Partially offsetting the new leases are three tenants, who had occupied
approximately 4,600 square feet, vacating at the end of the lease terms. 
Average occupancy at Plainview Triad North for the first quarter increased
from 92% in 1994 to 93% in 1995.  Rental and other income remained fairly
constant for the three month period due to the fact that the increase in
rental and other income which resulted from an increase in average occupancy
was offset by an increase in the provision for doubtful accounts.

Peachtree Corporate Center's occupancy increased 5% from March 31, 1994 to
March 31, 1995 due to 17 new leases totalling approximately 41,000 square
feet.  Of this total, approximately 16,000 square feet represent expansions
by six current tenants.  Partially offsetting the new leases are 16 tenant
move-outs totalling approximately 36,000 square feet.  Approximately 21,000
square feet of this total represents 10 tenants who vacated and ceased
making rental payments in breach of the lease terms due principally to
bankruptcies.  Accrued income associated with these leases was not
significant.  The remaining 14,800 square feet represents six tenants who
vacated at the end of the lease terms.

Results of Operations - Continued

Rental and other income at Peachtree Corporate Center increased for the
three months ended March 31, 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994 as
a result of an increase in average occupancy - 82% (1995) compared to 79%
(1994).  Peachtree Corporate Center receives rental income from the leasing
of both office space and warehouse space.  Office space rents for
approximately $7.00 to $9.00 per square foot compared to $3.50 to $4.50 per
square foot for warehouse space.  Another factor contributing to the
increase in rental and other income from the 1994 period to the 1995 period
is an increase in rent received from the rental of office space due to an
increase in the amount of office space leased in 1995 over 1994.  Partially
offsetting the increase in rental and other income is a decrease in rental
income received from the rental of warehouse space due to a decrease in the
amount of warehouse space leased in 1995 over 1994.  The increase in rental
and other income is also partially offset by an increase in the provision
for doubtful accounts and a decrease in the average rental rate realized
from office space leased.

In cases of tenants abandoning the premises, the Partnership pursues
collection through the use of collection agencies or other remedies
available by law when practical.

Current occupancy levels are considered adequate to continue the operation
of the Partnership's properties without the need for any additional
financing.

Interest and other income includes interest income earned from short-term
investments made by the Partnership with excess cash and from funds escrowed
for the replacement of the HVAC system and asphalt paving at Peachtree
Corporate Center (see the Liquidity and Capital Resources section for a
further discussion of these Escrow Funds).  Interest income increased for
the three months ended March 31, 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994
as a result of an increase in interest earned on the Escrow Funds and an
increase in excess cash available for investment.

Operating expenses decreased for the three months ended March 31, 1995 as
compared to the same period in 1994 as a result of decreased snow removal
costs at Plainview Plaza II and Plainview Triad North and decreased utility
costs at Plainview Plaza II.  Partially offsetting the decrease in operating
expenses for the three month period is an increase in utility costs at
Plainview Triad North and increased HVAC and general building repairs at
Peachtree Corporate Center.

The decrease in operating expenses - affiliated for the three months ended
March 31, 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994 is due to a decrease
in leasing salaries at all of the Partnership's properties and decreased
property management salaries at Peachtree Corporate Center and Plainview
Plaza II.

The 1995 write-off of unamortized tenant improvements can be attributed to
Peachtree Corporate Center.  Changes to current tenant improvements are a
typical part of any lease negotiation.  Improvements generally include a
revision to the current floor plan to accommodate a tenant's needs, new
carpeting and paint and/or wallcovering.  In order to complete the
renovation, it is sometimes necessary to replace improvements which have not
been fully depreciated.  This results in a write-off of unamortized tenant
improvements.

Results of Operations - Continued

The increase in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 1995
as compared to the same period in 1994 is due to an increase in the interest
rate on the $4,500,000 mortgage payable - 8.41% (1995) compared to 7.65%
(1994).  The interest rate on this note adjusts quarterly to 60 basis points
over the 10-year treasury bill rate (not to exceed 11.65% or be less than
7.65%).  The increase in interest expense for the three month period is
partially offset by a decrease in interest expense on the $2,537,325
mortgage payable due to continued principal paydowns.  See Note 2 of the
Partnership's financial statements for details regarding the Partnership's
debt.

Management fees are calculated as a percentage of cash collections, however,
revenue for reporting purposes is on the accrual basis.  As a result, the
fluctuations of revenues between periods will differ from the fluctuations
of management fee expense.

The increase in real estate taxes for the three months ended March 31, 1995
as compared to the same period in 1994 is due to an increase in the
assessment for Plainview Triad North and an increase in tax rates at all of
the Partnership's properties.  Partially offsetting the increase in real
estate taxes for the three month period is a decrease in the assessment for
Plainview Plaza II.  The assessment at Peachtree Corporate Center was
unchanged.

The increase in professional and administrative expenses for the three
months ended March 31, 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994 is due
to increased outside accounting fees.

The increase in professional and administrative expenses - affiliated for
the three months ended March 31, 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994
is primarily due to increased accounting salaries.

The change in depreciation and amortization for the three months ended March
31, 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994 was not significant.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Partnership had cash flow from operations of $347,033 and $213,117 for
the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  These funds,
in conjunction with cash on hand, were used to make a 1% (annualized)
distribution of $39,000 (1995).  The annualized distribution rate is
calculated as a percent of the initial equity.  The limited partners
received 100% of these distributions.  The Partnership did not make a cash
distribution during the three months ended March 31, 1994.  The Partnership
determined it necessary to temporarily suspend cash distributions until
adequate cash reserves for future leasing costs, tenant finish and other
capital improvements were established, and sufficient cash was being
generated from operations which, in management's opinion, warranted a cash
distribution.

As of March 31, 1995, the Partnership had a mortgage payable to an insurance
company in the amount of $4,500,000.  The mortgage bears a variable interest
rate which adjusts quarterly to 60 basis points over the 10-year treasury
bill rate.  At no time will the rate exceed 11.65% or be less than 7.65% per
annum.  The current rate at March 31, 1995 was 8.41%.  The loan is secured
by a first mortgage on Plainview Triad North and Peachtree Corporate Center
with a second position behind the holder of the permanent mortgage on
Plainview Plaza II.  The unpaid balance of the loan is due June 1, 2001.  
<PAGE>
Liquidity and Capital Resources - Continued

In accordance with the loan agreement, the Partnership is required to place
in an interest bearing escrow account $6,500 per month.  These Escrow Funds
will be released as the HVAC system and asphalt paving at Peachtree
Corporate Center is replaced.  The HVAC system is designed in such a manner
that each suite's system is separate in structure; therefore, it is not
necessary to replace the entire system at one time.  The Partnership
anticipates replacing the asphalt paving at Peachtree Corporate Center in
the Spring of 1995 at a cost of approximately $37,000.  The balance in the
escrow account at March 31, 1995 was $315,248.

As of March 31, 1995, the Partnership also had a mortgage payable to an
insurance company in the amount of $2,537,325.  The mortgage bears a fixed
interest rate of 9.125% and is due November 1, 1998.  The outstanding
balance at maturity based on the current rate of amortization will be
$2,140,539.

The primary source of future liquidity and distributions is expected to be
derived from cash generated by the Partnership's properties after adequate
cash reserves are established for future leasing and tenant finish costs.

The majority of the Partnership's cash flow is derived from operating
activities.  Cash flows used in investing activities are for tenant finish
improvements and reductions in accounts payable - construction (1995) and
are funded by operating activities.  Changes to current tenant improvements
are a typical part of any lease negotiation.  Improvements generally include
a revision to the current floor plan to accommodate a tenant's needs, new
carpeting and paint and/or wallcovering.  The extent and cost of these
improvements are determined by the size of the space and whether the
improvements are for a new tenant or incurred because of a lease renewal. 
Cash flows used in investing activities also include cash which is being
escrowed for the replacement of the HVAC system and asphalt paving at
Peachtree Corporate Center.  Cash flows provided by investing activities are
from increases in accounts payable - construction (1994).  Cash flows used
in financing activities include cash distributions and principal payments
on the $2.5 million mortgage payable.  The Partnership does not expect any
material changes in the mix and relative cost of capital resources.

In the next 12 months, the General Partner expects a demand on future
liquidity as a result of 78,275 square feet in leases expiring from April
1, 1995 through March 31, 1996 (Plainview Plaza II - 35,797 square feet,
Plainview Triad North - 8,975 square feet and Peachtree Corporate Center -
33,503 square feet).  At this time, the future leasing and tenant finish
costs which will be required to renew the current leases or obtain new
tenants are unknown.  It is anticipated that the cash flow from operations
and cash reserves will be sufficient to meet the needs of the Partnership.

The General Partner also anticipates a demand on future liquidity in the
next 12 months, as a result of the Partnership's plans to renovate the
common area lobbies at Plainview Plaza II.  The project is to include an
upgrade of current restroom facilities, improvement of handicap restroom
facilities, new carpet and wallcoverings.  The project is anticipated to
cost approximately $190,000.  As of March 31, 1995 the Partnership has a
material commitment of approximately $80,000 in connection with the project.

As of March 31, 1995, the Partnership had a material commitment of
approximately $37,000 to replace the asphalt paving at Peachtree Corporate
Center, of which approximately $12,000 has been incurred.  The Property
Manager had anticipated completing this project during the fourth quarter 
<PAGE>
Liquidity and Capital Resources - Continued

of 1994.  However, due to inclement weather, the project has been deferred
until the Spring of 1995.  The source of funds for this project will be the
Escrow Funds which has a balance of $315,248 at March 31, 1995.  This escrow
fund is a requirement of the $4,500,000 mortgage payable (see the prior
discussion of this mortgage payable on pages 9 and 10).

As of March 31, 1995, the Partnership also had a material commitment of
approximately $38,000 in connection with the painting of all building
exteriors at Peachtree Corporate Center.  Through March 31, 1995,
approximately $17,000 of the project had been incurred and paid.  This
project is expected to be completed during the second quarter of 1995.  The
source of funds for this project is expected to be cash flow from operations
and/or cash reserves.

The table below presents that portion of the distributions that represent
a return of capital on a Generally Accepted Accounting Principle basis for
the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994.  The General Partner did not
receive a distribution during these periods.  Distributions were funded by
cash flow derived from operating activities.

The following describes the efforts being taken by the Partnership to
increase the occupancy levels at the Partnership's properties.  At Peachtree
Corporate Center in Norcross, Georgia, the Partnership has an on-site
leasing agent, an employee of NTS Development Company (an affiliate of the
general partner), who makes calls to potential tenants, negotiates lease
renewals with current tenants and manages local advertising with the
assistance of NTS Development Company's marketing staff.  The leasing and
renewal negotiations for Plainview Plaza II and Plainview Triad North are
handled by leasing agents, employees of NTS Development Company, located in
Louisville, Kentucky.  The leasing agents are located in the same city as
both commercial properties.  All advertising for the Louisville properties
is also coordinated by NTS Development Company's marketing staff located in
Louisville, Kentucky.

Leases at all the Partnership's properties provide for tenants to contribute
toward the payment of increases in common area maintenance expenses,
insurance, utilities and real estate taxes.  This lease provision should
protect the Partnership's operations from the impact of inflation and
changing prices.
