1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
DEFINITION OF SPECIAL TERMS:
Capitalized terms used in this report have the same meaning as those terms have
in the Partnership's Registration Statement filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on Form S-11. Definitions of these terms are contained in
Article III of the First Amended and Restated Certificate and Agreement of
Limited Partnership, which is included in the Registration Statement and
incorporated herein by reference.
 
ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Under this method of accounting,
revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when incurred.
 
Preparation of the Partnership's financial statements in conformity with GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
 
The financial information included in these financial statements is unaudited;
however, in management's opinion, all adjustments (consisting of only normal,
recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of
operations for the periods included have been made. Results of operations for
the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997 are not necessarily
indicative of the operating results for the year ending December 31, 1997.
 
The financial statements include the Partnership's 50% interest in a joint
venture with an Affiliated partnership. This joint venture was formed for the
purpose of acquiring a 100% interest in certain real property and is operated
under the common control of the Managing General Partner. Accordingly, the
Partnership's pro rata share of the joint venture's revenues, expenses, assets,
liabilities and Partners' capital was included in the financial statements.
 
Commercial rental properties are recorded at cost, net of any provisions for
value impairment, and depreciated (exclusive of amounts allocated to land) on
the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Lease acquisition
fees are recorded at cost and amortized on the straight-line method over the
life of the respective lease. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed against
operations as incurred; expenditures for improvements are capitalized to the
appropriate property accounts and depreciated on the straight-line method over
the estimated life of such improvements.
 
The Partnership evaluates its rental properties when conditions exist which may
indicate that it is probable that the sum of expected future cash flows
(undiscounted) from a property is less than its estimated carrying basis. Upon
determination that an impairment has occurred, the basis in the rental property
is reduced to fair value. Management was not aware of any indicator that would
result in a significant impairment loss during the periods reported.
 
Loan acquisition costs are amortized over the term of the mortgage loan made in
connection with the acquisition of Partnership properties or refinancing of
Partnership loans. When a property is disposed of or a loan is refinanced, the
related loan acquisition costs and accumulated amortization are removed from
the respective accounts and any unamortized balance is expensed.
 
Cash equivalents are considered all highly liquid investments with maturity of
three months or less when purchased.
 
Investments in debt securities at September 30, 1997 are comprised of corporate
debt securities and obligations of the United States government and are
classified as held-to-maturity. These investments are carried at their
amortized cost basis in the financial statements, which approximated fair
market value. All of these securities had maturities of less than one year when
purchased.
 
Certain reclassifications have been made to the previously reported 1996
statements in order to provide comparability with the 1997 statements. These
reclassifications have no effect on net income or Partners' (deficit) capital.
 
Reference is made to the Partnership's annual report for the year ended
December 31, 1996 for a description of other accounting policies and additional
details of the Partnership's financial condition, results of operations,
changes in Partners' capital and changes in cash balances for the year then
ended. The details provided in the notes thereto have not changed except as a
result of normal transactions in the interim or as otherwise disclosed herein.
 
2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
 
In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, subsequent to October 31, 1983,
the Termination of the Offering, the General Partners are entitled to 10% of
distributable Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement), as a
Partnership Management Fee. Net Profits (exclusive of Net Profits from the sale
or disposition of Partnership properties) are allocated: first, to the General
Partners, in an amount equal to the greater of: (A) the General Partners'
Partnership Management Fee for such fiscal year; or (B) 1% of such Net Profits;
and second, the balance, if any, to the Limited Partners. Net Profits from the
sale or disposition of a Partnership property are allocated: first, to the
General Partners and the Limited Partners with negative balances in their
capital accounts, pro rata in proportion to such respective negative balances,
to the extent of the total of such negative balances; second, to the General
Partners, in an amount necessary to make the aggregate amount of their capital
accounts equal to the greater of: (A) the Sale or Refinancing Proceeds to be
distributed to the General Partners with respect to the sale or disposition for
such property; or (B) 1% of such Net Profits; and third, the balance, if any,
to the Limited Partners. Net Losses (exclusive of Net Losses from the sale,
disposition or provision for value impairment of Partnership properties) are
allocated 1% to the General Partners and 99% to the Limited Partners. Net
Losses from the sale, disposition or provision for value impairment of
Partnership properties are allocated: first, to the General Partners to the
extent of the aggregate balance in their capital accounts; second, to the
Limited Partners and among them (in the ratio which their respective capital
account balances bear to the aggregate of all capital account balances of the
Limited Partners) until the balance in their capital accounts shall be reduced
to zero; third, the balance, if any, 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the
General Partners. In all events there shall be allocated to the

(a) As of September 30, 1997, the Partnership owed $48,500 to the Managing
    General Partner for a real estate commission earned in connection with the
    sale of a Partnership property. This commission has been accrued but not
    paid. In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership will
    not pay the General Partners or any Affiliates a real estate commission
    from the sale of a Partnership property until Limited Partners have
    received cumulative distributions of Sale or Refinancing Proceeds equal to
    100% of their Original Capital Contribution, plus a cumulative return
    (including all Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) which
    has been distributed to the Limited Partners from the initial date of
    investment) of 6% simple interest per annum on their Capital Investment
    from the initial date of investment.
 
Firstate Financial A Savings Bank ("Firstate"), a tenant at Citrus Center, was
owned by an Affiliate of the Managing General Partner, until its sale to an
unrelated party in April 1997. Firstate's rent was comparable to that paid by
other tenants at Citrus Center.
 
3. MORTGAGE LOAN PAYABLE:
 
Mortgage loan payable at September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996 consisted of

4. PROPERTY SALE:
 
On August 1, 1997, the Partnership consummated the sale of Citrus Center,
located in Orlando, Florida, for a sale price of $28,500,000. Net proceeds, net
of closing expenses, from this transaction were $27,760,400. The Partnership
reported a gain of $6,218,200 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 in
connection with this sale and intends to distribute $27,500,000 or $275.00 per
Unit on November 30, 1997 to Limited Partners of record as of August 1, 1997.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Reference is made to the Partnership's annual report for the year ended
December 31, 1996 for a discussion of the Partnership's business.
 
OPERATIONS
The Partnership is in the disposition phase of its life cycle. During the
disposition phase, comparisons of operating results are complicated due to the
timing and effect of property sales. Partnership operating results are
generally expected to decline as real property interests are sold or disposed
of since the Partnership no longer receives income generated from such real
property interests.
 
The table below is a recap of certain operating results of each of the
Partnership's properties for the quarters and nine months ended September 30,
1997 and 1996. The discussion following the table should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing in this report.

    of Notes to Financial Statements.
 
Unless otherwise disclosed, discussions of fluctuations between 1997 and 1996
refer to both the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996.
 
Net income for the Partnership increased by $6,362,500 and $6,643,000 for the
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997 when compared to the quarter
and nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively. The increases were
primarily due to the gain recorded on the sale of Citrus Center. Net income
exclusive of Citrus Center increased by $343,700 and $499,600 for the periods
under comparison. The increases were primarily due to improved operating
results at Shoppes of West Melbourne ("Shoppes") along with an increase in
interest earned on the Partnership's short-term investments which was the
result of the investment of Sale Proceeds until their distribution on November
30, 1997. Partially offsetting the increases were diminished operating results
at Richmond Plaza Shopping Center ("Richmond").
 
The following comparative discussion excludes the results of Citrus Center.
 
Rental revenues increased by $26,300 or 1.7% and $25,400 or 0.5% for the
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997 when compared to the quarter
and nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively. The increases were
primarily the result of consideration received for the early termination of
tenants' leases at Glendale being greater in 1997 than in 1996. In addition,
the 1997 reconciliation of 1996 expenses resulted in tenant expense
reimbursements being greater than previously estimated. Partially offsetting
the increases was an absence in 1997 of consideration received for the early
termination of a tenants' lease at Richmond.
 
Real estate tax expense decreased by $59,600 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1996.
The decreases were primarily due to a successful appeal of the assessed value
of Glendale which reduced the estimated taxes for 1997 and resulted in refunds
being received in 1997 for the years which were under appeal. Real estate tax
expense remained relatively unchanged for the quarterly periods under
comparison.
 
Property operating expenses decreased by $42,500 and $57,200 for the quarterly
and nine-month comparable periods, respectively. The decreases were primarily
the result of a reduction in personnel, professional, security and utility
costs at Glendale. Partially offsetting the decreases were increases in
advertising and promotional costs at Glendale.
 
Interest expense decreased by $13,400 and $45,300 for the periods under
comparison. The decreases were primarily due to the effects of principal
payments made during the last 21 months on the mortgage loan collateralized by
Glendale.
 
To increase and/or maintain occupancy levels at the Partnership's properties,
the Managing General Partner, through its Affiliated and unaffiliated asset and
property management groups, continues to take the following actions: 1)
implementation of marketing programs, including hiring of third-party leasing
agents or providing on-site leasing personnel, advertising, direct mail
campaigns and development of building brochures; 2) early renewal of existing
tenants' leases and addressing any expansion needs these tenants may have; 3)
promotion of local broker events and networking with local brokers; 4)
networking with national level retailers; 5) cold-calling other businesses and
tenants in the market area and 6) providing rental concessions or competitively
pricing rental rates depending on market conditions.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
One of the Partnership's objectives is to dispose of its properties when market
conditions allow for the achievement of the maximum possible sales price. In
the interim, the Partnership continues to manage and maintain its remaining
properties. Notwithstanding the Partnership's intention relative to property
sales, another primary objective of the Partnership is to provide cash
distributions to Partners from Partnership operations. To the extent cumulative
cash distributions exceed net income, such excess distributions will be treated
as a return of capital. Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) is
generally not equal to net income or cash flows as determined by generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), since certain items are treated
differently under the Partnership Agreement than under GAAP. Management
believes that to facilitate a clear understanding of the Partnership's
operations, an analysis of Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement)
should be examined in conjunction with an analysis of net income or cash flows
as determined by GAAP. The following table includes a reconciliation of Cash
Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) to cash flow provided by
operating activities as determined by GAAP and are not indicative of actual

</TABLE>
 
The increase in Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) of $112,100
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 when compared to nine months ended
September 30, 1996 was primarily due to the increase in net income, exclusive
of the gain on sale and depreciation and amortization, as previously discussed.
 
The increase of $12,516,300 in the Partnership's cash position for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 was primarily the result of Citrus Center Sale
Proceeds and net cash provided by operating activities exceeding additional
investments in debt securities, principal payments on mortgage loan payable and
distributions paid to Partners. Liquid assets (including cash, cash equivalents
and investments in debt securities) as of September 30, 1997 were comprised of
amounts held for working capital purposes and undistributed Sales Proceeds from
the sale Citrus Center.
 
The increase in net cash provided by operating activities of $174,100 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 when compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 was primarily due to the increase in net income, exclusive
of the gain on sale and depreciation and amortization, as previously discussed
and the timing of the payment of certain expenses at Shoppes and Glendale.
 
Net cash (used for) provided by investing activities changed from $(7,363,400)
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 to $11,670,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997. This change was primarily due to the receipt of Sale
Proceeds and a reduction in payments for capital and tenant improvements,
partially offset by an increase in investments in debt securities. The increase
in investment securities is a result of the continued extension of the
maturities of certain of the Partnership's short-term investments in an effort
to maximize the return on these amounts as they are held for working capital
purposes or for distributions of Partners. These investments are of investment-
grade and generally mature less than one year from their date of purchase.
 
The Partnership maintains working capital reserves to pay for capital
expenditures. During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Partnership
spent $198,900 for capital and tenant improvement and leasing costs and has
projected to spend an additional $75,000 during the remainder of 1997. Of the
projected, approximately $50,000 and $25,000 relates to anticipated capital,
tenant improvement and leasing costs expected to be incurred at Richmond, and
Shoppes, respectively. Actual amounts expended in 1997 may vary depending on a
number of factors including actual leasing activity and other market conditions
throughout the year. The Managing General Partner believes these improvements
and leasing costs are necessary in order to increase and/or maintain occupancy
levels in very competitive markets, maximize rental rates charged to new and
renewing tenants and to prepare the remaining properties for eventual
disposition.
 
As more fully discussed in the Partnership's Annual Report for the year ended
December 31, 1996, there are issues related to the future tenancy level at
Glendale. It is currently uncertain whether one or both of its anchor tenants
will vacate at their lease termination dates (January 2001). The loss of either
or both tenants would have a dramatic negative impact on the operations of the
property. The Managing General Partner is continuing to explore alternatives
for Glendale, which include, but are not limited to, pursuing other tenants and
the sale of the property.
 
On August 1, 1997, the Partnership completed the sale of Citrus Center. Net
proceeds from the transaction were $27,760,400. The Partnership will distribute
$27,500,000 or $275.00 per Unit from this sale on November 30, 1997 to Limited
Partners of record as of August 1, 1997.
 
The Partnership is currently negotiating to sell Richmond and Shoppes to
unrelated parties. There can be no assurance as to the successful completion or
timing of these transactions. The sale of these assets by the Partnership would
result in reduced distributions to Partners and Glendale being the
Partnership's sole remaining investment. Due to the uncertainty surrounding
Glendale it is necessary for the Partnership to retain sufficient cash to
protect its interest in the property. It may also be necessary to further
reduce or possibly suspend distributions to Partners due to certain provisions
contained in the mortgage note securing Glendale.
 
The increase in net cash used for financing activities of $374,200 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 when compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 was primarily due to increased distributions paid to
Partners in 1997 together with an increase in principal payments on the
mortgage loan collateralized by Glendale.
 
The Managing General Partner continues to take a conservative approach to
projections of future rental income in its determination of adequate levels of
cash reserves due to the uncertainty surrounding Glendale. The Managing General
Partner believes that Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) is
one of the best and least expensive sources of cash. As a result, cash
continues to be retained to supplement working capital reserves. For the nine
months ended September 30, 1997, Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership
Agreement) retained to supplement working capital reserves was $1,345,800.
 
Distributions to Limited Partners for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 were
declared in the amount of $500,000, or $5.00 per Unit. Cash distributions are
made 60 days after the last day of each fiscal quarter. The amount of future
distributions to Partners will ultimately be dependent upon the performance of
the Partnership's investments as well as the Managing General Partner's
determination of the amount of cash necessary to supplement working capital
reserves to meet future liquidity requirements of the Partnership.
