Note 3.  Transactions with Related Parties:

For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership
incurred property management fees of $59,049 and $81,073, respectively, and
general and administrative expense reimbursements of $56,390 and $79,331,
respectively. For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1997, the
Partnership incurred property management fees of $67,954 and $134,591,
respectively, and general and administrative expense reimbursements of $35,247
and $100,080, respectively. Management believes that ultimate payment of a
preferred return to the General Partners of $857,754, based upon cumulative
proceeds of sales of assets, is reasonably possible but not probable, as defined
pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5.

The Partnership, in conjunction with certain affiliates, is a participant in a
cost sharing agreement for the purpose of renting and occupying office space.
Under the agreement, the Partnership pays its proportionate share of rent and
other costs of occupancy. Net expenses incurred for the six months ended June
30, 1996 and 1997 were $35,508 and $33,459, respectively.

Note 5.  Equity Investment:

The Partnership owns 427,008 limited partnership units in American General
Hospitality Operating Partnership, L.P., the operating partnership of American
General Hospitality Corporation ("AGH"), a publicly-traded real estate
investment trust. The Partnership's investment in the operating partnership is
accounted for under the equity method. As of August 1, 1997, the Partnership has
the right to convert the limited partnership units on a one-for-one basis to
shares of common stock in AGH.

AGH's unaudited financial statements reported total assets of $369,974,000 and
shareholders' equity of $279,960,000 as of March 31, 1997 and, total revenues of
$9,903,000 and net income of $4,053,000 for the three-month period ended March
31, 1997.


Note 6.  Writedown to Net Realizable Value:

On March 25, 1997, Simplicity Manufacturing, Inc. ("Simplicity") notified the
Partnership that it was exercising its option to purchase the property it leases
from the Partnership in Port Washington, Wisconsin on April 1, 1998. The lease
provides that the option price will be the greater of $9,684,000 or the fair
market value of the property as unencumbered by the lease, capped at
$12,000,000. Although the appraisal process has not yet been completed,
Management has concluded that it is not likely that the agreed-upon exercise
price will be in excess of the minimum exercise price of $9,684,000.
Accordingly, the Partnership has recognized a noncash charge of $2,316,000 on
the writedown of the property to its estimated net realizable value of
$9,684,000.

After paying the limited recourse mortgage loan, the Partnership will realize
cash proceeds of no less than $5,362,000, before any selling costs, if the
property is sold at the minimum exercise price. Annual cash flow from the
property (rent less mortgage debt service on the property) is $934,000.

Note 7.  Property in Los Angeles, California:

The Partnership and Corporate Property Associates 3 ("CPA(R):3"), an affiliate,
own a dairy processing facility in Los Angeles, California as tenants-in-common
with 83.24% and 16.76% ownership interests, respectively. In May 1996, the
Partnership and CPA(R):3 entered into an agreement with Hughes Markets, Inc.
("Hughes") to extend the term of a lease which was expiring from April 30, 1996
to April 30, 1998. Under the agreement, Hughes' annual rent increased from
$1,820,000 to $4,034,000 (of which the Partnership's share is approximately
$3,358,000) and Hughes is required to pay a lump sum payment of $3,500,000 (of
which the Partnership's share will be $2,913,000) at the end of the two-year
extension. Hughes was required to provide the Partnership and CPA(R):3 with a
letter of credit in an amount equal to the lump sum payment. Hughes may extend
the lease on a month-to-month basis through October 1998.

On June 20, 1997, the Partnership and CPA(R):3 entered into a net lease
agreement for the Los Angeles property with Copeland Beverage Group, Inc.
("Copeland"). Copeland's right of possession of the property and the date which
it will be required to commence paying rent shall be the date on or after April
30, 1998 that Hughes vacates the property.

The Copeland lease provides for an initial term of nine years and two five-year
renewals at the option of the lessee. The lease provides for annual rent of
$1,800,000 (of which the Partnership's share will be $1,498,320) with rent
increases every three years based on a formula indexed to increases in the
Consumer Price Index. Prior to taking occupancy of the property, Copeland will
be required to provide the Partnership and CPA(R):3 with an irrevocable letter
of credit of $1,800,000 as a security deposit.
