NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
March 31, 1997
 
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 three months ended March 31, 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 possible that the sum of expected future cash flows
(undiscounted) from a property is less than its estimated carrying value. Upon
determination that an impairment has occurred, the carrying 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 are comprised of obligations of the United
States government totaling $5,784,900 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 a
maturity 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

(a) As of March 31, 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.
(b) Effective on December 31, 1996, the Affiliate providing property management
 and certain leasing services to the Partnership's shopping centers, sold its
 interest in the property management agreements to an unrelated party. The
 payments included in the above table relate to asset management services and
 prior period's property management fees.
 
Firstate Financial A Savings Bank ("Firstate"), owned by an Affiliate of the
Managing General Partner, is obligated to the Partnership under a lease of
office space at Citrus Center. The lease expires in February 2002. For the
three months ended March 31, 1997, Firstate paid $79,300 in total rents. The
per square foot rent paid by Firstate is comparable to that paid by other
tenants at Citrus Center. In April 1997, Firstate was sold by the Affiliate of
the Managing General Partner to an unaffiliated party. The terms of Firstate's
lease remain unchanged.

</TABLE>
(a) Excludes certain income and expense items which are not directly related to
    individual property operating results such as interest income and general
    and administrative expenses.
 
Net income for the Partnership for the three months ended March 31, 1997
decreased by $13,800 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 1996.
The decrease was primarily due to diminished operating results at Glendale
Center Shopping Mall ("Glendale") and to a lesser extent at Shoppes of West
Melbourne ("Shoppes") and Richmond Plaza Shopping Center ("Richmond"). The
decrease was partially offset by improved operating results at Citrus Center
and decreased general & administrative expenses. The decrease in general &
administrative expenses was primarily due to reduced expenditures for
accounting services, personnel costs and legal fees.
 
Rental revenues decreased by $42,900 or 1.5% for the three months ended March
31, 1997 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 1996. The decrease
was primarily the result of a decrease in percentage rent at Glendale which is
the result of lower tenant sales at the mall and in tenant reimbursements for
real estate taxes at Citrus Center as a result of a 1997 adjustment for
overbillings in 1996. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in base
rental income at Citrus Center which was due to an increase in the average base
rental rate.
 
Real estate tax expense increased by $13,700 for the three months ended March
31, 1997 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 1996. The increase
was primarily the result of a budgeted increase in real estate taxes at
Glendale.
 
Repairs and maintenance expense decreased by $13,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 1996. The
decrease was primarily due to decreases in repairs to the parking lot and
elevator at Citrus Center along with decreases in repairs to the roof at
Richmond. Partially offsetting the decrease was an increase in snow removal and
energy plant expenses at Glendale, HVAC expenses at Citrus Center and parking
lot repairs at Shoppes.
 
Interest expense decreased by $20,100 for the three-month periods under
comparison. The decrease was primarily due to the effects of principal payments
made during the past 15 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 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 four
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
distributions to Partners and should not necessarily be considered as an
alternative to the results disclosed in the Statements of Income and Expenses
and Statements of Cash Flow.

</TABLE>
 
The increase in Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) of $58,200
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 when compared to three months ended
March 31, 1996 was primarily due to improved operating results at Citrus
Center, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, as previously discussed,
together with decreased principal payments on the mortgage loan collateralized
by Glendale. The increase was partially offset by diminished operating results
at Glendale, exclusive of depreciation and amortization.
 
The decrease of $5,255,700 in the Partnership's cash position during the three
months ended March 31, 1997 was primarily the result of the increase in
investments in debt securities, as well as the principal payments on the
mortgage loan payable and distributions paid to Partners exceeding net cash
provided by operating activities. Liquid assets (including cash, cash
equivalents and investments in debt securities) of the Partnership as of March
31, 1997 were comprised of amounts held for working capital purposes.
 
The increase in net cash provided by operating activities of $418,600 for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 when compared to the three months ended March
31, 1996 was primarily due to the receipt of refunds for real estate taxes at
Glendale. The increase was also due to the timing of the payment of certain
operating expenses at Shoppes and Citrus Center.
 
Net cash used for investing activities increased by $5,568,400 for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 when compared to the three months ended March 31,
1996. This increase was primarily due to an increase in investments in debt
securities, partially offset by a decrease in payments for capital and tenant
improvements and leasing costs. The increase in investment securities is a
result of the 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. These investments are of
investment-grade and mature less than one year from their date of purchase.
 
The Partnership maintains working capital reserves to pay for building and
tenant improvements and lease commissions. During the three months ended March
31, 1997, the Partnership spent only $2,100 for building and tenant
improvements and leasing costs but has projected to spend approximately
$1,125,000 during the remainder of 1997. Of the projected amount, approximately
$550,000, $275,000, $175,000 and $125,000 relates to anticipated improvement
and leasing costs expected to be incurred at Glendale, Citrus Center, Richmond
and Shoppes, respectively. Actual amounts expended may vary depending on a
number of factors including actual leasing activity, the sale of Partnership
properties 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 prepare the
remaining properties for eventual disposition.
 
As more fully discussed in the Partnership's Annual Report for the year ended
December 31, 1996, the future tenancy level at Glendale is uncertain. The
potential loss of one or both of its anchor tenants at their lease termination
dates (January 2001) would have a dramatic negative impact on the operations of
the property. The Managing General Partner is exploring alternatives for
Glendale, which include, but are not limited to, pursuing other tenants and the
sale of the property.
 
The increase in net cash used for financing activities of $52,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 when compared to the three months ended March 31,
1996 was primarily due to an increase in distributions paid to Partners. The
increase was partially offset by a decrease in principal payments on the
mortgage loan collateralized by Glendale. The mortgage loan collateralized by
Glendale contains provisions that require that a portion of the cash generated
by Glendale be utilized to reduce the outstanding mortgage balance.
 
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 and to the
anticipated capital and tenant improvements and leasing costs necessary to be
made at the Partnership's properties during the next several years. The
Managing General Partner believes that Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership
Agreement) is one of the Partnership's best sources of cash. As a result, cash
continues to be retained to supplement working capital reserves. For the three
months ended March 31, 1997, Cash Flow (as defined in the Partnership
Agreement) retained to supplement working capital reserves amounted to $60,600.
 
Distributions to Limited Partners for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 were
declared in the amount of $1,050,000, or $10.50 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.
Accordingly, there can be no assurance as to the amounts of cash for future
distributions to Partners.
                                                                               6
