PART I
Item 1. Business
General Development of Business
Hutton/GSH Commercial Properties 2 (the "Registrant" or the "Partnership") is a
Virginia limited partnership organized pursuant to a Certificate and Agreement
of Limited Partnership dated September 1, 1983, of which Real Estate Services
VII, Inc. ("RE Services"), formerly Hutton Real Estate Services VII, Inc. (see
Item 10. "Certain Matters Involving Affiliates"), and HS Advisors III, Ltd.
("HS Advisors") are the general partners (together, the "General Partners").
The Registrant is engaged in the business of acquiring, operating and holding
for investment commercial properties, including office and light industrial
buildings.
Commencing June 3, 1983, the Registrant began offering through E.F. Hutton &
Company Inc. up to a maximum of 100,000 units of limited partnership interests
(the "Units") at $500 per Unit. The Units were registered under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, under Registration Statement No. 2-79072, which
Registration Statement was declared effective on June 3, 1983. The offering of
Units was terminated on September 1, 1983. Upon the termination of the
offering the Registrant had accepted subscriptions for 100,000 Units for an
aggregate of $50,002,000, including the General Partners' capital
contributions. As of November 30, 1994, all of the proceeds available for
investment in real estate have been invested or committed for investment.
Since the inception of operations, the Registrant has acquired and disposed of
an interest as the general partner in the following limited partnerships: (i)
14800 Quorum Associates, Ltd., a Texas limited partnership formed to own and
operate the Quorum I Office Building, and (ii) First Trade Center Office
Associates, a Maryland limited partnership formed to own and operate Maryland
Trade Center Building II. The Registrant had also acquired interests in the
following joint ventures: (i) Two Financial Centre Associates Joint Venture, an
Arkansas joint venture partnership formed to own and operate Two Financial
Centre, (ii) Maitland Building C Joint Venture, a Florida joint venture
partnership formed to own and operate Maitland Center Office Building C, and
(iii) Gamma Building Associates Joint Venture, a California joint venture
partnership formed to own and operate Swenson Business Park - Building C. For
further descriptions of the properties see Item 2 "Properties" and Note 5 "Real
E state Investments" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of
the Partnership's Annual Report to Unitholders for the year ended December 31,
1994 filed as an exhibit under Item 14. (The five buildings described above
are collectively referred to herein as the "Properties"). To the extent that
funds committed for investment or held as a working capital reserve have not
been expended (and have not otherwise been distributed to the Limited Partners
as a return of capital), the Registrant has invested such funds in bank
certificates of deposit, unaffiliated money market funds or other highly liquid
short-term investments where there is appropriate safety of principal, in
accordance with the Registrant's investment objectives and policies.
Narrative Description of Business
Incorporated by reference to Note 1 "Organization" of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements on page 9 of the Partnership's Annual Report to
Unitholders for the year ended November 30, 1994 filed as an exhibit under Item
14.
The Registrant's principal investment objectives with respect to the Properties
(in no particular order of priority) are:
1) Capital appreciation;
2) Distributions of net cash from operations attributable to rental income;
and
3) Preservation and protection of capital.
Distributions of net cash from operations will be the Registrant's objective
during its operational phase, while the preservation and appreciation of
capital will be the Registrant's long-term objective. Future distributions
will be made from rental operations with respect to the Registrant's investment
in the Properties, as well as from interest on short-term investments and
return of capital. The attainment of the Registrant's investment objectives
will depend on many factors, including future economic conditions in the United
States as a whole and, in particular, in the localities in which the
Registrant's Properties are located, especially with regard to achievement of
capital appreciation. From time to time the Registrant expects to sell its
Properties taking into consideration such factors as market conditions for
these types of properties, leasing conditions, property cash flow, if any, to
be realized, and the possible risks of continued ownership. No property will
be sold, financed or refinanced by the Registrant without the agreement of
both General Partners. Proceeds from any future sale, financing or refinancing
of the Properties will not be reinvested but will be distributed to the
Partners to the extent there is sufficient working capital, so that the
Registrant will, in effect, be self-liquidating. As part payment for
Properties sold, the Registrant may receive purchase money obligations secured
by mortgages or deeds of trust. In such cases, the amount of such obligations
will not be included in Net Proceeds From Sale or Refinancing (distributable to
the Partners) until and to the extent the obligations are realized in cash,
sold or otherwise liquidated.
During 1988 and 1989, the Quorum property experienced cash flow deficits which
resulted in an inability to service debt as of September 1988. Despite
negotiations to create a debt restructuring plan with payments equal to the
property cash flow after capital items, on May 30, 1989 the Registrant received
notice of the lender's intent to file foreclosure proceedings. The General
Partners were unable to create a viable restructuring plan and, on July 12,
1989, the lender posted the property for foreclosure. The foreclosure sale
occurred on August 1, 1989.
On July 31, 1989, First Trade Center Office Associates Limited Partnership sold
the Maryland Trade Center II property to an unaffiliated pension fund for an
aggregate sale price of $22,400,000. First Trade Center Office Associates was
composed of the Registrant and the developer of the property (the "Joint
Venture Partners"). The Registrant received proceeds in the amount of
$17,427,548 representing the total purchase price net of closing costs and
distributions made to the Joint Venture Partner. In addition, the Registrant
received $208,982 which represented cash held at the property level.
During 1989, the Registrant loaned $7,201,320 in the form of a demand
promissory note to the Two Financial Centre Joint Venture ("TFC"), in which the
Registrant is the managing venturer. The note was issued to enable TFC to pay
the mortgage on Two Financial Centre, which had been accelerated, and to
prevent the lender from foreclosing. Information pertaining to the loan to TFC
is incorporated by reference to Note 6 "Loan to Two Financial Centre Joint
Venture" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Partnership's
Annual Report to Unitholders for the year ended November 30, 1994 filed as an
exhibit under Item 14.
On April 4, 1991 the Registrant purchased the 2.5% joint venture interest held
by Boyle Investment Company, successor by merger to Boyle Investment Company of
Florida, Inc., in the Maitland Building C Joint Venture. As a result of this
transaction, the Maitland property, previously owned by the Joint Venture, is
now wholly-owned by the Partnership.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The Registrant had cash and cash equivalents at November 30, 1994 of $2,524,376
compared with $640,153 at November 30, 1993. The $1,884,223 increase is a
result of the redemption of the short-term investment in the amount of
$3,584,400 and net cash provided by operations in the amount of $1,982,994,
partially offset by cash distributions totaling $3,434,343 and capital
expenditures in the amount of $248,828. The Registrant also had a restricted
cash balance of $160,341 at November 30, 1994 which is primarily made up of
security deposits. The Registrant expects sufficient cash flow from operations
to be generated to meet its current operating requirements.
At Two Financial Centre, a lease with a major tenant occupying 47,919 square
feet and providing 19% of consolidated rental revenues is scheduled to vacate
the property upon expiration of its lease in June 1995. Details of the
tenant's scheduled vacancy and a discussion of material leases at all of the
Partnership's properties are incorporated by reference to the section entitled
Message to Investors and Property Profiles & Leasing Update contained in the
Partnership's Annual Report to Unitholders for the year ended November 30, 1994
filed as an exhibit under Item 14.
The Registrant paid cash distributions to the Limited Partners of $34 per Unit
for the year ended November 30, 1994, including a distribution of $4.25 per
Unit for the fourth quarter, which was paid on January 25, 1995.
Distributions represent a return of capital from the sale of Maryland Trade
Center in 1989. A portion of the proceeds at the time of the sale were
retained to fund any operating deficits, tenant improvements and leasing
commissions required at the Partnership's remaining properties. At November
30, 1994, the remaining cash reserve balance from the sale of Maryland Trade
Center is approximately $364,000. Future cash distributions will be funded
from the remaining reserve balance and cash flow from operations. In order to
fund leasing commissions and tenant improvements associated with the scheduled
vacancy of a major tenant at Two Financial Centre, cash distributions will be
reduced commencing with the first quarter of 1995. The General Partners
anticipate reducing the quarterly distribution rate to an amount approximating
cash flow generated by the Maitland and Swenson properties, approximately $3
per Unit. Details regarding the anticipated reduction in cash distributions
is incorporated by reference to the section entitled Message to Investors
contained in the Partnership's Annual Report to Unitholders for the year ended
November 30, 1994 filed as an exhibit under Item 14.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
1994 Versus 1993
- ----------------
Operations resulted in net income of $673,843 for the year ended November 30,
1994, compared to $396,332 in 1993. The increase in net income is primarily
attributable to a 12% increase in rental revenues resulting from higher
occupancy levels and rental rates at Maitland Center Office Building C and Two
Financial Centre. Interest income totaled $116,399 for the year ended November
30, 1994, compared with $157,442 for the year ended November 30, 1993. The
decrease is primarily due to a lower cash balance, reflecting the payment of a
special distribution to Limited Partners, totaling $1.7 million on April 22,
1994.
Property operating expenses increased from $1,403,438 for the year ended
November 30, 1993 to $1,427,276 in 1994 primarily as a result of an increase in
insurance premiums for all properties. Depreciation and amortization expense
totaled $1,369,956 for the year ended November 30, 1994, compared with
$1,314,719 in 1993. The slight increase in 1994 reflects additional
depreciation for building and tenant improvements completed at Maitland Center
Office Building C and Two Financial Centre in 1994. General and administrative
- - affiliates totaled $95,395 for the year ended November 30, 1994, compared
with $110,126 in 1993. The decrease is due to a decrease in salary and
overhead reimbursements. General and administrative - other totaled $93,703
for the year ended November 30, 1994, compared with $120,555 in 1993. The
decrease is primarily due to a decrease in travel expenses, professional fees
and printing and postage costs.
As of November 30, 1994, occupancy levels at each of the properties were as
follows: Two Financial Centre - 100%; Maitland Center Office Building C - 95%;
and Swenson Business Park, Building C - 100%.
1993 Versus 1992
- ----------------
Operations resulted in net income of $396,332 for the year ended November 30,
1993, compared with net income of $89,855 in 1992. The increase in net income
is primarily attributable to an increase in rental income in 1993.
Rental income increased 24% in 1993, as compared with 1992, primarily as a
result of the lease execution with Asante Technologies, Inc. in September 1992
for 100% of Swenson Business Park Building C. The property had previously been
vacant since July 1991. To a lesser extent, rental income increased in 1993
due to higher occupancy at the Registrant's other two properties. Interest
income totalled $157,442 for the year ended November 30, 1993, compared with
$261,640 for the year ended November 30, 1992. The decrease is largely the
result of the Registrant's lower cash and cash equivalents balance and lower
interest rates. The Registrant recognized other income of $21,187 for the
period ended November 30, 1993, compared with $133,653 for the corresponding
1992 period. Other income was higher in 1992 primarily as a result of the sale
of the Registrant's Arix stock. Information pertaining to the sale of Arix
stock is incorporated by reference to Note 9 "Arix Stock" of the Registrant 's
Annual Report to Unitholders for the year ended November 30, 1994 filed as an
exhibit under Item 14.
Property operating expenses increased 8% in 1993. Property operating expenses
were higher in 1993 primarily due to increased costs associated with higher
occupancy at the Registrant's properties. Depreciation and amortization
expense totaled $1,314,719 for the period ended November 30, 1993, compared
with $1,247,967 for the corresponding period in 1992. The slight increase in
1993 reflects additional depreciation for building improvements at the Swenson
property and the amortization of the Asante leasing commission, which was
capitalized during the fourth quarter of 1992. General and administrative
expenses totaled $230,681 for the year ended November 30, 1993, compared with
$255,569 for the corresponding period in 1992. The decrease is largely due to
the cessation of legal activity relating to the Arix default, reduced salary
reimbursements, and lower printing and postage expenses.
As of November 30, 1993, lease levels at each of the properties were as
follows: Two Financial Centre - 98%; Maitland Center Office Building C - 88%;
and Swenson Business Park, Building C - 100%.

Certain Matters Involving Affiliates
- ------------------------------------
On July 31, 1993 Shearson Lehman Brothers sold certain of its domestic retail
brokerage and asset management businesses to Smith Barney, Harris Upham & Co.
Incorporated ("Smith Barney"). Subsequent to the sale, Shearson Lehman
Brothers Inc. changed its name to Lehman Brothers Inc. The transaction did not
affect the ownership of the General Partners. However, the assets acquired by
Smith Barney included the name "Hutton." Consequently the Hutton Real Estate
Services VII, Inc. general partner changed its name to Real Estate Services
VII, Inc. to delete any reference to "Hutton."
On August 1, 1993, GSH transferred all of its leasing, management and sales
operations to Goodman Segar Hogan Hoffler, L.P., a Virginia limited partnership
("GSHH"). On that date, the leasing, management and sales operations of a
portfolio of properties owned by the principals of Armada/Hoffler ("HK") were
also obtained by GSHH. The General Partner of GSHH is Goodman Segar Hogan
Hofflerr, Inc., a Virginia corporation ("GSHH Inc."), which has a 1% interest
in GSHH. The stockholders of GSHH Inc. are GSH with a 62% interest and H.K.
Associates, L.P., and affiliate of HK, with a 38% interest. The remaining
interests in GSHH are limited partnership interests owned 50% by GSH and 49% by
HK. The transaction did not affect the ownership of the General Partners.
Item 11. Executive Compensation
Neither of the General Partners nor any of their directors and officers
received any compensation from the Registrant. See Item 13 below with respect
to a description of certain transactions of the General Partners and their
affiliates with the Registrant.
Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners
- -----------------------------------------------
As of November 30, 1994, no person was known by the Registrant to be the
beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Units of the Registrant.
Changes In Control
- ------------------
The Registrant has been advised by representatives of HS Advisors that the
following transactions occurred on October 19, 1992 resulting in an indirect
change of control of HS Advisors and, therefore, of the Registrant. Capital
stock of Stanton Associates, Inc., a Virginia Corporation ("Stanton"), which
indirectly owns 100% of the capital stock of the sole general partner of HS
Advisors, was acquired by Dominion Capital, Inc., a Virginia Corporation
("Dominion Capital"). The shares were acquired in connection with a
restructuring of indebtedness owed by Stanton to Dominion Capital. On October
19, 1992, Dominion Capital acquired 51,993 shares of common stock of Stanton
upon conversion of series A convertible preferred stock and, thereafter,
acquired from Stanton an additional 387,418 shares of common stock of Stanton,
resulting in Dominion Capital's owning approximately 83% of the outstanding
common stock of Stanton. As a result of these transactions, Dominion Capital
now has direct or indirect control of legal entities that own, in whole or in
part, over 5 million square feet of commercial real estate, which is in
addition to other real estate interests previously held by Dominion Capital.
Since, as a result of these transactions, Dominion Capital has the indirect
power to control HS Advisors, a change of control of Registrant is deemed to
have occurred. The consideration received by Stanton for the issuance of
387,417 shares consisted of a covenant on the part of Dominion Capital not to
sue on an aggregate of $7,473,567.44 owed to Dominion Capital by Stanton so
long as certain conditions are met by Stanton. No borrowings were incurred in
connection with the transactions.
To the knowledge of the Registrant, there are no arrangements or understandings
between Dominion Capital and Stanton with respect to the selection of General
Partners of the Registrant or other matters regarding the Registrant.

Message to Investors
We are pleased to present the 1994 Annual Report for Hutton/GSH Commercial
Properties 2 (the "Partnership"). Partnership operations over the past few
years have been characterized by relatively stable or improving performance at
each of the Partnership's properties. Leasing progress at Two Financial Centre
and Maitland Center Office Building C resulted in the properties being 100% and
95% leased, respectively, as of year-end 1994 and Swenson Business Park,
Building C remains 100% leased. While we are pleased with this performance,
1995 is expected to be a particularly challenging year for the Partnership
since the primary tenant at Two Financial Centre will vacate the building upon
expiration of its lease in June 1995. Please refer to the Property Profiles
and Leasing Update section of this report for additional information regarding
the operating performance of each of the properties.
Cash Distributions
The Partnership paid cash distributions to Limited Partners totaling $34 per
Unit for the year ended November 30, 1994, including a fourth quarter cash
distribution of $4.25 per Unit that was either credited to your brokerage
account or sent directly to you on January 25, 1995. The total amount includes
a special distribution of $17 per Unit, which was paid on April 22, 1994. All
cash distributions made during the year, including the special distribution,
represent a return of capital from the sale of the Maryland Trade Center
property in 1989. As previously reported, a portion of the proceeds at the
time of the sale were retained to fund any operating deficits, tenant
improvements and leasing commissions required at the Partnership's remaining
properties. Since inception, the Partnership has paid total cash distributions
of $237.76 per original $500 Unit. Total cash distributions include return of
capital payments in the amount of $179 per Unit which reduced the Unit size
from $ 500 to $321.
1st Qtr 2nd Qtr 3rd Qtr 4th Qtr Total
1993 $4.25 $4.25 $4.25 $4.25 $17.00
1994 $4.25 $21.25(1) $4.25 $4.25 $34.00
(1) Includes a special cash distribution of $17.00 per Unit paid on
April 22, 1994.
As discussed in the Partnership's third quarter report, a major tenant
occupying 47,919 square feet or approximately 42% of the leasable space at Two
Financial Centre will vacate the premises upon the expiration of its lease on
June 30, 1995. While we remain optimistic that the space can be ultimately
re-leased, we are uncertain as to the timing of any new leases. In addition,
it is unlikely that a single tenant can be secured for such a large amount of
space and tenant improvement costs are likely to be higher as this large block
of space is divided to accommodate smaller tenants. In anticipation of a
decline in revenue and the expected leasing commissions and tenant improvement
costs at this property, it is necessary to reduce Partnership cash
distributions commencing with the first quarter distribution, payable in
April. The General Partners anticipate that the quarterly distribution rate
will be reduced to reflect the cash flow generated by the Maitland and Swenson
properties. Additional information regarding this distribution will be
included in the Partnership's first quarter report.
Market Overview
The real estate industry, in general, continued its long recovery during 1994.
The apartment complex and warehouse and distribution sectors exhibited the
strongest performance, and certain types of commercial office space began to
show signs of improvement. Specifically, the suburban office market has
experienced declining vacancies and little new development. While the downtown
office market continues to lag in the recovery, rental concessions have
diminished, and rental rates have stabilized. As a result of these conditions,
the national vacancy rate for commercial office space declined to approximately
17% as of the second quarter of 1994, down from approximately 19% as of the
third quarter of 1993. The ongoing recovery of this market, however, is
expected to be gradual, as technological advancements have made it easier and
more efficient for traditional users of office space to work from home or
satellite locations. As a result, a meaningful recovery in the value of office
buildings is not anticipated in the immediate future.
The financing environment for commercial real estate also began to show signs
of improvement during 1994. According to National Investor Survey, a CB
Commercial publication, there are new sources of capital from commercial
securitizations and mortgage conduits. Additionally, Emerging Trends in Real
Estate indicated that traditional sources of capital such as pension funds,
banks and, to a lesser degree, insurance companies are showing renewed interest
in commercial real estate investment. It is important to note, however, that
lenders are extremely selective in choosing their real estate investments, and
there remains a gap between the supply and demand for funds, particularly with
respect to the office sector. As a result, it is difficult for many potential
buyers of commercial office space to obtain adequate financing, and sales
opportunities remain limited.
Summary
While the consistently high occupancy rates at the Partnership's properties are
encouraging, the Partnership faces significant challenges regarding the
lease-up of the space scheduled to be vacated at Two Financial Center. It is
anticipated that cash distributions will be maintained at a reduced rate until
the majority of the vacant space is leased. Although the real estate market is
gradually improving, a significant recovery in property values has yet to
occur, and sales opportunities remain limited. The General Partners will
continue to operate the Partnership's properties as effectively and efficiently
as possible to ensure that they are well positioned for eventual sale. We will
update you with respect to these efforts in future investor reports.

Property Profiles & Leasing Update
I. SWENSON BUSINESS PARK-BUILDING C San Jose, California
Situated within a 65-acre business park which is located just north of
central San Jose in California, Swenson Building C is a 90,145 square foot
research and development facility providing an attractive location for
many high technology companies due to its easy access to the San Jose
Airport and Interstate 880.
Leasing Update - Asante Technologies, Inc. ("Asante"), a designer of local
area network products for Apple Computer's Macintosh line, leases 100% of
the property pursuant to a five-year lease scheduled to expire in
September 1997. The lease generated approximately 18% of the
Partnership's consolidated revenues for 1994. Although Asante posted net
income for its fiscal year ended September 30, 1994, the company incurred
a loss during its last two quarters of fiscal 1994 and the first quarter
of fiscal 1995. The company is currently seeking to expand and diversify
its product line and remains current on its rental payments to the
Partnership.
Market Update - While the entire Silicon Valley region continues to be
adversely impacted by the downsizing of large corporations such as Hewlett
Packard, the research and development ("R&D") market improved in 1994, as
continued growth in the communications, software and biotechnology
industries has offset declines in the defense, aerospace and electronics
industries. As of the third quarter of 1994, the vacancy rate for the R&D
sector in the Silicon Valley market declined to 10.8% from 12.9% a year
earlier. San Jose benefitted from these improving conditions as demand
for space increased. As a result, the vacancy rate in San Jose fell to
8.9% as of the third quarter of 1994, from 15.3% a year earlier. Despite
this improvement, the area has not yet experienced any meaningful increase
in rental rates and property values remain depressed.
II. TWO FINANCIAL CENTRE Little Rock, Arkansas
Situated in the Financial Centre Complex located in west Little Rock, Two
Financial Centre is a 113,983 square foot, four-story brick office
building. The property affords easy access to downtown Little Rock and
the Little Rock Regional Airport, and is located near two interstate
highways, I-630 and I-430. Several restaurants, hotels, hospitals and a
country club are within the immediate vicinity.
Leasing Update - As of November 30, 1994, the property was 100% occupied,
compared to 98% a year earlier. Two leases were scheduled to expire in
1994. We are pleased to report that both tenants executed lease renewals
during the year, including a tenant which expanded its space by 3,591
square feet. Additionally, a tenant which occupies 13,993 square feet or
approximately 12% of the property's leasable space pursuant to a lease
scheduled to expire January 30, 1995, executed a renewal at a slightly
reduced rate.
Two of the property's leases generated rental income in excess of 10% of
the Partnership's consolidated revenues for 1994. The first of these
leases is with a tenant which occupies approximately 27,000 square feet or
24% of the property's leasable area pursuant to a ten-year lease scheduled
to expire in July 1998. Rental income from this tenant for fiscal 1994
was approximately $443,323, or 13% of the Partnership's consolidated
rental income.
The second lease is with a tenant occupying 47,919 square feet or
approximately 42% of the property's leasable space pursuant to a lease
scheduled to expire June 30, 1995. Rental income received from the tenant
during fiscal 1994 was approximately $679,272, or 19% of the Partnership's
consolidated rental income. The tenant intends to vacate the building
upon expiration of its lease and move into a recently-completed
build-to-suit corporate facility in west Little Rock. Although the
General Partners have initiated an aggressive marketing campaign, it is
unlikely that any single tenant can be found to re-lease the entire space.
To date, our initiatives have generated interest in the space, however,
there can be no assurance that new executed leases will result.
Market Update - The Little Rock office market improved somewhat in 1994 as
a lack of new construction combined with an increase in demand for office
space narrowed the gap between supply and demand. Although the overall
vacancy rate for office property remained largely unchanged from 1993 at
approximately 10%, average lease rental rates increased by approximately
3% during the year including the suburban submarket where the property is
located. Vacancy rates in the suburban office market remained at
approximately 7%, unchanged from 1993. Two Financial Centre's primary
competitors include One Financial Centre, Three Financial Centre and First
Little Rock Plaza. Occupancies at these properties as of the fourth
quarter of 1994 were 93%, 90% and 97%, respectively. The property also
competes with a nearby office park, Koger Executive Park, which had an
average occupancy rate of 93% in the 1994 fourth quarter.
III. MAITLAND CENTER OFFICE BUILDING C Orlando, Florida
Maitland Center Office Building C is a 98,096 square foot, three-story
office building located in Maitland Center Office Park, a 230-acre
development located in northwest metropolitan Orlando. The property
features a brick and glass exterior.
Leasing Update - The General Partners executed a new lease totaling 4,313
square feet, two lease renewals totaling 4,006 square feet, and three
lease expansions totaling 4,320 square feet during 1994, resulting in an
occupancy rate of 95% as of November 30, 1994, compared with 88% a year
earlier. This leasing success is largely attributable to our ongoing
aggressive marketing campaign along with improved leasing conditions in
the Maitland Center office submarket.
One tenant, which leases 23,753 square feet of space pursuant to a lease
originally scheduled to expire in January 1995, generated rental income in
fiscal 1994 of approximately $309,000 or 8% of the Partnership's
consolidated revenues. We are pleased to report that during the third
quarter of 1994, this tenant executed a three-year lease renewal for
19,560 square feet.
Market Update - The Orlando office market improved in 1994 as the area
benefitted from strong employment growth and a lack of new construction.
As a result, the overall vacancy rate in Orlando declined to 13.1% as of
December 31, 1994, the lowest level in seven years. The primary
beneficiary of Orlando's improving conditions was the Maitland Center
submarket, which is the largest submarket outside of downtown Orlando with
approximately 3.6 million square feet of office space. Maitland Center
boasted the lowest vacancy rate in the region at 6.7% in the fourth
quarter of 1994, compared to 9.9% in 1993. With the increase in demand for
office space, the use of rental concessions to attract prospective tenants
has diminished. Rental rates, however, have not increased to any
significant degree. Additionally, a substantial amount of space is
expected to be added back to the Maitland Center submarket in 1995 as
several large tenants move into newly-completed build-to-suit facilities.

1 The increase in Total Income, Net Income and Net Cash From Operations in
1994 is due to higher Rental Income. Rental Income increased 12% in 1994
primarily as a result of increased occupancy and rental rates at Maitland
Center Office Building C and Two Financial Centre.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
November 30, 1994, 1993 and 1992
1. Organization
Hutton/GSH Commercial Properties 2 (the "Partnership") was organized as a
limited partnership under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia pursuant to
a Certificate and Agreement of Limited Partnership dated and filed September 1,
1983 (the "Partnership Agreement"). The Partnership was formed for the purpose
of making acquisitions in and operating certain types of commercial real
estate. The General Partners of the Partnership are Real Estate Services VII,
Inc., which is an affiliate of Lehman Brothers (see below), and HS Advisors,
Ltd. ("HS Advisors"), which is an affiliate of Goodman Segar Hogan, Inc.
("GSH"). The Partnership will continue until December 31, 2010, unless
terminated sooner in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement.
On July 31, 1993, Shearson Lehman Brothers Inc. sold certain of its domestic
retail brokerage and asset management businesses to Smith Barney, Harris Upham
& Co. Incorporated ("Smith Barney"). Subsequent to the sale, Shearson Lehman
Brothers Inc. changed its name to Lehman Brothers Inc. ("Lehman Brothers").
The transaction did not affect the ownership of the general partners. However,
the assets acquired by Smith Barney included the name "Hutton." Consequently,
Hutton Real Estate Services VII Inc., a general partner, changed its name to
Real Estate Services VII Inc. ("Real Estate Services") to delete any reference
to Hutton.
On August 1, 1993, GSH transferred all of its leasing, management and sales
operations to Goodman Segar Hogan Hoffler, L.P., a Virginia limited partnership
("GSHH"). On that date, the leasing, management and sales operations of a
portfolio of properties owned by the principals of Armada/Hoffler ("HK") were
also obtained by GSHH. The General Partner of GSHH is Goodman Segar Hogan
Hoffler, Inc., a Virginia corporation ("GSHH Inc."), which has a 1% interest in
GSHH. The stockholders of GSHH Inc. are GSH with a 62% interest and H.K.
Associates, L.P., an affiliate of HK, with a 38% interest. The remaining
interests in GSHH are limited partnership interests owned 50% by GSH and 49% by
HK. The transaction did not affect the ownership of the General Partners.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Partnership and its ventures, Two Financial Centre Joint Venture, Swenson
Building C Joint Venture and Maitland Building C, a wholly-owned property.
Intercompany accounts and transactions between the Partnership and the ventures
have been eliminated in consolidation.
Real Estate Investments - Real estate investments, which consist of commercial
office buildings, are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost
includes the initial purchase price of the property plus closing costs,
acquisition and legal fees and capital improvements. Depreciation is computed
using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives of 20 to 25
years, except for tenant improvements, which are depreciated over the terms of
the respective leases.
Leases are accounted for as operating leases. Leasing commissions are
amortized over the terms of the respective leases.
Deferred rent receivable consists of rental income which is recognized on a
straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases but will not be
received until later periods as a result of rent concessions.
Restricted Cash - Restricted cash primarily represents cash held in connection
with tenant security deposits.
Cash Equivalents - Cash equivalents consist of short-term highly liquid
investments which have maturities of three months or less from the date of
purchase.
Short-term Investment - Short-term investment consists of a 30-day repurchase
agreement collateralized by U.S. Treasury Notes. The investment was liquidated
during 1994.
Income Taxes - No provision for income taxes has been made in the financial
statements of the Partnership since such taxes are the responsibility of the
individual partners, rather than of the Partnership.
Reclassifications - Certain balances in the 1993 and 1992 financial statements
have been reclassified to conform to the 1994 presentation.
3. The Partnership Agreement and Cash Distributions
The Partnership Agreement provides that the net cash from operations, as
defined, for each fiscal year will be distributed on a quarterly basis 99%
to the limited partners and 1% to the general partners until each limited
partner has received a 9% annual noncumulative return on his adjusted capital
investment, as defined. The net cash from operations will then be
distributed to the general partners until the general partners have received
10% of the aggregate net cash from operations distributed to all partners.
Thereafter, net cash from operations will be distributed 90% to the limited
partners and 10% to the general partners.
Net proceeds from sales or refinancings shall be distributed 99% to the limited
partners and 1% to the general partners until each limited partner has received
an amount equal to his adjusted capital investment, as defined, and 10%
cumulative annual return thereon, reduced by any net cash from operations
actually distributed to such limited partner. The balance of net proceeds, if
any, will then be distributed 85% to the limited partners and 15% to the
general partners.
Upon the dissolution and termination of the Partnership, the General Partners
will be required to contribute to the Partnership an amount not to exceed 1% of
the total capital contributions from all of the Partners of the Partnership
less prior contributions of the General Partners. In no event shall the
General Partners be obligated to contribute more than the negative balances in
their respective capital accounts.
The Partnership paid cash distributions totalling $3,400,000 and $34,343 to the
Limited and General Partners respectively, representing $34 per Limited
Partnership Unit for the year ended November 30, 1994. An additional $429,293
has been accrued in 1994 for a distribution during the first quarter of 1995.
The Partnership paid cash distributions totalling $3,525,000 and $35,608 to the
Limited and General Partners respectively, representing $35.25 per Limited
Partnership Unit for the year ended November 30, 1993. The cash distributions
are funded from the Partnership's cash reserves and represent a return of
capital from the sale of the Maryland Trade Center property in 1989. At
November 30, 1994, the remaining reserve balance from the sale of the Maryland
Trade Center property is approximately $364,000. Future cash distributions
will be funded from the remaining reserve balance and cash flow from
operations.
The timing and amount of future distributions will depend on several factors,
including the adequacy of rental income being generated by current leases and
Partnership cash flow.
Losses and all depreciation and amortization for any fiscal year shall be
allocated 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the general partners. Income
before depreciation and amortization for any fiscal year and all gains from
sales will be allocated in substantially the same manner as net cash from
operations.
4. Transactions with the General Partners and Affiliates
The following is a summary of amounts paid or accrued to the General Partners
during the years ended November 30, 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively:

-------- -------- -------- --------
$ 71,670 $ 96,920 $ 106,287 $ 114,004
======== ======== ======== ========
5. Real Estate Investments
Since inception, the Partnership has acquired five commercial office buildings
through investments in joint ventures or limited partnerships with unaffiliated
co-venturers, of which three remain:
Square Date Purchase
Property Name Feet Location Acquired Price
- -------------- ------- --------------- -------- ----------
Two Financial Centre 113,983 Little Rock, AR 3/29/84 $10,700,000
Maitland Building C 98,096 Orlando, FL 9/18/84 $ 8,770,000
Swenson Building C 90,145 San Jose, CA 5/06/85 $ 7,700,000
The joint venture agreements substantially provide that:
(a) Net cash from operations will be distributed 100% to the Partnership
until it has received an annual, noncumulative return on its capital
contribution, as adjusted, ranging from 7% to 11%. Thereafter, any remaining
cash from operations will be shared in a ratio relating to the various
ownership interests of the Partnership.
(b) Net proceeds from a sale or refinancing will be distributed 100% to the
Partnership until it has received an annual, cumulative return ranging from 7%
to 11% and an amount equal to 110% to 120% of its adjusted capital
contribution. Any remaining balance will be shared in a ratio relating to the
various ownership interests of the Partnership.
(c) Taxable income of the joint ventures and limited partnerships will be
allocated in substantially the same manner as net cash from operations.
Taxable losses will generally be allocated to the Partnership in the same
manner as net cash from operations for Swenson Building C. Taxable losses
will generally be allocated 100% to the Partnership for Two Financial Centre.
For financial statement purposes, net income and net losses are allocated in
the same manner as taxable income and taxable losses.
6. Loan to Two Financial Centre Joint Venture
The Two Financial Centre Joint Venture ("TFC") has provided a demand promissory
note to the Partnership with a principal balance of $7,383,033 and which bears
interest at 12% per annum, resulting in annual interest of $885,960. Monthly
payments of interest only are due in arrears in the amount of $73,830. On
September 17, 1993, TFC issued to the Partnership a new demand promissory note
in the amount of $610,113 representing the unpaid accrued interest as of
September 17, 1993 on the original principal balance of $7,383,033. The note
bears interest at 8% per annum, resulting in annual interest of $48,809.
Monthly interest of $4,067 is payable in arrears commencing October 17, 1993.
As of November 30, 1994, accrued interest of $160,354 remains unpaid. Interest
of $761,058, $1,165,821 and $674,870 has been paid by TFC to the Partnership
during the fiscal years ended November 30, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
All interest and principal activity and balances relating to the demand
promissory notes are eliminated in consolidation for financial statement
presentation purposes.
7. Rental Income Under Operating Leases
Future minimum rental income to be received on noncancellable operating leases
as of November 30, 1994 is as follows:
1995 $2,889,292
1996 2,331,729
1997 1,804,172
1998 796,664
1999 339,109
Thereafter 244,235
---------
$8,405,201
Lease terms range from one to ten years. The leases allow for increases in
certain property operating expenses to be passed on to tenants.
Leases to two tenants of TFC generated rental revenue in excess of 10% of the
Partnership's consolidated rental revenues for the year ended November 30,
1994. The rental income derived from these leases for 1994 was $443,323 and
$679,272, respectively, or 13% and 19% of the Partnership's 1994 consolidated
rental income. As of November 30, 1994, both tenants are current in their rent
payments. On June 30, 1995, the lease providing 19% of the Partnership's
consolidated rental income is scheduled to expire. The tenant completed a
build-to-suit corporate facility, which it will occupy subsequent to the
expiration of its lease. As a result, the Partnership has initiated an
aggressive marketing campaign to lease the vacated space.
The Partnership entered into a lease with Asante Technologies, Inc. (the
"Tenant") pursuant to the terms of a lease agreement which became effective
July 16, 1992. In accordance with the terms of the Lease Agreement, the Tenant
was granted an allowance for Tenant Improvements in the amount of $315,508. The
lease term is for five years. As a condition for approving the lease, the
General Partners required the Tenant to pay a $100,000 security deposit. On
September 14, 1992, the lease commenced and the Tenant occupied 100% of Swenson
Building C. In addition to base rental payments, the Tenant shall pay as
additional rent, real property taxes and insurance. Under the lease, the
Partnership will record minimum annual rental revenue of $639,849. As of
November 30, 1994, Asante has generated $638,847 or 18% of the Partnership's
consolidated rental income and is current on its rent payments.
8. Reconciliation of Net Income to Taxable Loss
The net income reported in the financial statements for the year ended November
30, 1994 exceeded the taxable income reported to the partners by $249,093. The
taxable loss reported to the partners for years ended November 30, 1993 and
1992 exceeded the net income reported in the financial statements by $449,370,
and $272,656, respectively.
These differences are primarily due to the use of different methods of
recording depreciation expense and rental income. The Partnership uses
accelerated methods of depreciating real estate for tax purposes and the
straight-line method for financial statement purposes. Rental income is
recorded when received or receivable for tax purposes and on a straight-line
basis for financial statement purposes.
9. Swenson Building C - Arix Default
In December 1991, Arix Corporation ("Arix"), the former tenant at Swenson
Building C, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection from its creditors.
Arix had occupied 100% of the Swenson property pursuant to a lease which
expired on September 28, 1991. Pursuant to Arix's plan of reorganization, on
April 14, 1992, the Partnership received 800,000 shares of Arix stock in lieu
of $700,000 of rental payments which had been in default. A decrease in the
market price of Arix's stock has resulted in the Partnership being unable to
sell the stock for $700,000. As of December 12, 1992, the Partnership had sold
all 800,000 shares of its Arix stock. The Partnership recognized proceeds of
$12,212 and $98,760 net of brokerage commissions, respectively, included in
other income for the years ended November 30, 1993 and 1992.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Partners
Hutton/GSH Commercial Properties 2
and Consolidated Ventures
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Hutton/GSH
Commercial Properties 2 and Consolidated Ventures as of November 30, 1994 and
1993, and the related consolidated statements of operations, partners' capital
(deficit), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
November 30, 1994. These financial statements and schedule are the
responsibility of the Partnership management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Hutton/GSH Commercial Properties 2 and Consolidated Ventures at November 30,
1994 and 1993, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended November 30, 1994, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

======
(1) Purchase price plus General Partners' acquisition fees.
(2) This represents the Partnership's share of the November 30, 1994 Appraised
Values which were determined by independent property appraisal firms. The
Partnership's share of the November 30, 1994 Appraised Value takes into account
the allocation provision of the joint venture agreements governing the
distribution of sales proceeds for each of the properties.
(3) The Acquisition Cost and the Partnership's share of the November 30, 1994
Appraised Value are net of the outstanding mortgage loan balance at the time of
acquisition and the demand promissory note at November 30, 1994. The
Acquisition Cost of $4,611,600 for Two Financial Centre is comprised of the
acquisition fee paid to the General Partners and an amount required to fund the
completion of tenant improvements and other capital items.
(4) The Acquisition Cost of $8,367,320 for Maitland Center Office Building C is
comprised of the acquisition fee paid to the General Partners and an amount
required to fund the completion of tenant improvements and other capital items.
(5) The Acquisition Cost of $8,059,590 for Swenson Business Park- Building C is
comprised of the acquisition fee paid to the General Partners and an amount
required to fund the completion of tenant improvements and other capital items.
(6) The current principal balance of the demand promissory notes receivable
from the Two Financial Centre Joint Venture is $7,993,146 as discussed in this
report.
(7) The Net Asset Value assumes a hypothetical sale at November 30, 1994 of all
Partnership properties at their appraised values and the distribution of the
proceeds of such sale, together with the Partnership's cash and the proceeds
from temporary investments, to the Partners. Real estate brokerage commissions
payable to the General Partners or others are not determinable at this time and
have not been included in the determination. Since the Partnership would incur
real estate brokerage commissions and other selling expenses in connection with
the sale of its properties and other assets, cash available for distribution to
the Partners would be less than the appraised Net Asset Value.
Limited Partners should note that appraisals are only estimates of current
value and actual values realizable upon sale may be significantly different. A
significant factor in establishing an appraised value is the actual selling
price for properties which the appraiser believes are comparable. Because of
the nature of the Partnership's properties and the existing market for such
properties, there can be no assurance that the other properties reviewed by the
appraiser are comparable. The appraised value does not reflect the actual
costs which would be incurred in selling the property. As a result of these
factors and the illiquid nature of an investment in Units of the Partnership,
the variation between the appraised value of the Partnership's properties and
the price at which Units of the Partnership could be sold is likely to be
significant. Fiduciaries of Limited Partners which are subject to ERISA or
other provisions of law requiring valuations of Units should consider all
relevant factors, including, but not limited to Net Asset Value per Unit, in
determining the fair market value of the investment in the Partnership for such
purposes.
