                       Notes to the Financial Statements
                       ---------------------------------

The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the Partnership's annual 1994 audited financial statements within Form 10-K.

The unaudited financial statements include all adjustments which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of financial
position as of September 30, 1995, the results of operations for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, cash flows for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, and the statement of partners' capital
(deficit) for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  Results of operations
for the periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the full year.

No significant event has occurred subsequent to fiscal year 1994 which requires
disclosure in this interim report per Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01, Paragraph
(a)(5).

Part I, Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                 and Results of Operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- - -------------------------------
The Partnership's cash balance at September 30, 1995 was $1,370,435, compared
to $689,002 at December 31, 1994.  The increase is primarily attributable to
proceeds from the sale of 1259 acres of timberland during 1995 for gross
proceeds of approximately $690,900.  The Partnership's cash, along with funds
generated from future timber and timberland sales, are expected to provide
sufficient liquidity for operations.

The Partnership's accounts receivable balance decreased from $73,539 at
December 31, 1994 to $0 at September 30, 1995.  The decrease resulted from the
collection in 1995 of net proceeds from a December 21, 1994 closing on the sale
of timberland from the Gray tract.

Accounts payable and accrued expenses totalled $22,170 at September 30, 1995,
compared to $49,505 at December 31, 1994.  The decrease is primarily
attributable to the payment of real estate taxes and professional fees related
to the joint venture.  Due to affiliates increased from $78,980 at December 31,
1994 to $135,662 at September 30, 1995.  The increase is primarily attributable
to the timing of payments of management fees.

The Partnership completed a sale of 1,185 acres from the Claxton tract early in
the third quarter and entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement on November 9,
1995, for an additional sale of 1,757 acres from the Claxton tract.  This sale
is pending and subject to final approval by the General Partner.

The Partnership currently owns approximately 5,100 acres of timberland
outright, in addition to a 76% share in the Laurel View tract (the "Joint
Venture"), a 1,709 acre tract located near Savannah, Georgia.  While the
long-term trend for timber and timberland prices has been upward, prices are
subject to cyclical fluctuations.  Despite the general strengthening of the
real estate construction market, the market for raw land in the area where the
Partnership's tracts are located continues to remain stagnant.

While the Laurel View tract could be sold as timberland, its primary value
would be realized if sold as a development site due to its coastal location and
close proximity to major interstate highways.  The General Partner has prepared
a land use plan which is being incorporated into a more comprehensive marketing
plan.  While preparations are underway for marketing the tract, it is difficult
to predict when conditions will be best suited for a sale as it largely depends
on the pace of development in the area surrounding the tract.

Results of Operations
- - ---------------------
The Partnership's operations resulted in net losses of $77,511 and $114,420,
respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995, compared
to net losses of $54,146 and $152,431, respectively, for the corresponding
periods in 1994.  The increase in net loss for the three-month period is
primarily attributable to a $34,454 net loss from the sale of 1,185 acres in
the Claxton tract.  This was partially offset by higher interest income.  The
decrease in net loss for the nine-month period is mainly due to income
generated from the Joint Venture totalling $14,950, compared to a loss
totalling $28,951 during the same period in 1994.

Interest income totalled $16,130 and $37,348, respectively, for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1995, compared to $8,441 and $19,297,
respectively, for the corresponding periods in 1994.  The increases are
primarily attributable to the Partnership's substantially higher average cash
balance due to the receipt of proceeds from the sale of timberland and higher
interest rates.

Property operating expenses were $28,287 and $83,150, respectively, for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1995, compared to $22,930 and
$65,681, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 1994.  The increases
are due to higher management fees attributable to the increase in the appraised
value of the Laurel View tract in December 1994, which is used as part of the
basis for calculating management fees.

General and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1995 were $24,763 and $64,640, respectively, compared to $24,315
and $72,983, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 1994.  The decrease
for the nine-month period is primarily due to a decline in audit and legal
fees, partially offset by a slight increase in partnership servicing fees for
accounting, investor reporting and tax preparation.

The Partnership recognized a net loss from the Joint Venture of $7,067 and net
income of $14,950 respectively, for the three and nine months ended September
30, 1995, compared to net losses of $16,192 and $28,951, respectively, for the
corresponding periods in 1994.  The net loss for the three-month period ended
September 30, 1995 is mainly attributable to a lack of timber sales during the
three-month period and the Joint Venture meeting its normal operating expenses.
The joint venture income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1995 is
attributable to income from sales of timber from the Laurel View tract during
the nine-month period in excess of ordinary operating expenses.  The Joint
Venture losses in 1994 were attributable to a lack of timber sales and the
recording of ordinary operating expenses.
