                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          -----------------------------

The unaudited financial  statements and schedules included herein should be read
in  conjunction  with  the  Partnership's  1999  Form  10-K as  filed  with  the
Securities  and Exchange  Commission  on March 30,  2000.  In the opinion of the
General Partner,  all adjustments (only consisting of normal recurring accruals)
necessary for a fair presentation  have been made to the accompanying  financial
statements  for the three  months and nine months ended  September  30, 2000 and
1999.

1.   Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
     -----------------------------------------------------------

     The  preparation  of financial  statements  in  conformity  with  Generally
     Accepted  Accounting   Principles  ("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.

2.   Concentration of Credit Risk
     ----------------------------

     NTS-Properties IV, Ltd. owns and operates, either wholly or through a joint
     venture,  commercial rental properties in Kentucky (Louisville) and Florida
     (Ft.  Lauderdale).  In  Kentucky,  a  single  tenant  occupies  one  of the
     commercial  rental  properties.  The  Partnership  also owns and  operates,
     either wholly or through a joint venture,  residential rental properties in
     Kentucky (Louisville) and Florida (Orlando).

     It is the  Partnership's  understanding  that SHPS, Inc. does not intend to
     continue to occupy the space at Blankenbaker Business Center 1A through the
     duration of its lease, ending in July 2005. The Partnership's proportionate
     share of the rental income from this property  accounted for  approximately
     8% of the Partnership's  total revenues for the nine months ended September
     30, 2000. The Partnership has not yet determined the effect, if any, on the
     Partnership's  operations,  given the fact SHPS,  Inc. is under lease until
     July 2005 and no official notice of termination has been received.

3.   Cash and Equivalents - Restricted
     ---------------------------------

     Cash and equivalents - restricted represents funds received for residential
     security  deposits,  funds  escrowed with  mortgage  companies for property
     taxes in  accordance  with the loan  agreements  and funds  reserved by the
     Partnership  for the  purchase  of Limited  Partnership  Units  through the
     tender offer (See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 6).

4.   Basis of Property and Depreciation
     ----------------------------------

     Land,   buildings  and  amenities  are  stated  at  historical   cost  less
     accumulated depreciation to the Partnership. Costs directly associated with
     the acquisition, development and construction of a project are capitalized.
     Depreciation is computed using the straight-line  method over the estimated
     useful lives of the assets which are 5-30 years for land improvements, 3-30
     years for  buildings  and  improvements,  3-30 years for  amenities and the
     applicable  lease term for tenant  improvements.  The aggregate cost of the
     Partnership's   properties  for  federal  tax  purposes  is   approximately
     $21,447,190.

     Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting
     for the  Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived  Assets to be
     Disposed Of," specifies  circumstances in which certain  long-lived  assets
     must be reviewed for impairment. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds
     the sum of its expected future cash flows,  the asset's carrying value must
     be written down to fair value.  Application  of this standard by management
     during the periods ended  September 30, 2000 and 1999 did not result in any
     impairment loss.

     On July 23, 1999, the  Lakeshore/University  II Joint Venture closed on the
     sale of 2.4 acres of land adjacent to the Lakeshore  Business  Center for a
     sale price of $528,405.

6.   Tender Offer
     ------------

     On September 22, 2000, the  Partnership  and ORIG, LLC, an affiliate of the
     Partnership,  filed a tender offer (the "Tender Offer") with the Securities
     and Exchange  Commission,  commencing on September 22, 2000, to purchase up
     to 200 of the  Partnership's  Limited  Partnership Units at a price of $205
     per Unit.  Under the Tender Offer,  the Partnership will purchase the first
     100  Units  tendered  and will fund its  purchase  and its  portion  of the
     expenses from cash reserves. If more than 100 Units are tendered, ORIG, LLC
     will  purchase up to an  additional  100 Units.  If more than 200 Units are
     tendered,  the bidders may choose to acquire the additional  Units on a pro
     rata basis. The total costs of the Tender Offer are expected to be $51,000,
     consisting  of $41,000 to purchase 200 Units and $10,000 of  expenses.  The
     Partnership  expects  that its share of these  costs will be  approximately
     $26,000.  Units that are acquired by the Partnership will be retired. Units
     that are  acquired by ORIG,  LLC will be held by it. The  General  Partner,
     NTS- Properties Associates IV, does not intend to participate in the Tender
     Offer. The Tender Offer will expire on December 22, 2000 unless extended.

     On February 7, 2000, ORIG, LLC (the "Affiliate") purchased Interests in the
     Partnership pursuant to an Agreement,  Bill of Sale and Assignment,  by and
     among the Affiliate and four  investors in the  Partnership  (the "Purchase
     Agreement").  The Affiliate  purchased 565 Interests in the Partnership for
     total  consideration  of  $136,629,  or an  average  price of  $241.82  per
     Interest.  The Affiliate paid these  investors a premium above the purchase
     price  previously  offered for  Interests  pursuant to prior tender  offers
     because  this  purchase  allowed the  Affiliate  to purchase a  substantial
     number of Interests  without  incurring the significant  expenses  involved
     with a tender offer and multiple transfers.

8.   Transactions Affecting the Investment in Lakeshore/University II Joint
     ----------------------------------------------------------------------
     Venture
     -------

     On July 1, 2000 and July 1, 1999, NTS-Properties V contributed $500,000 and
     $1,737,000,  respectively,  to the  Lakeshore/University  II Joint  Venture
     ("L/U  II  Joint  Venture").  The  other  Partners  in the  Joint  Venture,
     including  NTS-Properties  IV, did not make capital  contributions  at that
     time.  Accordingly,  the ownership percentages of the other Partners in the
     Joint  Venture  decreased.  Effective  July 1,  2000,  NTS-Properties  IV's
     percentage  of  ownership  in the Joint  Venture is 10.92% as  compared  to
     11.93% prior to July 1, 2000, and 17.86% prior to July 1, 1999.

9.   Commitments and Contingencies
     -----------------------------

     The  Partnership,  as an  owner  of real  estate,  is  subject  to  various
     environmental  laws of federal  and local  governments.  Compliance  by the
     Partnership with existing laws has not had a material adverse effect on the
     Partnership's  financial condition and results of operations.  However, the
     Partnership cannot predict the impact of new or changed laws or regulations
     on its  current  properties  or on  properties  that it may  acquire in the
     future.

     The Partnership does not believe there is any litigation threatened against
     the Partnership other than routine  litigation  arising out of the ordinary
     course of business,  some of which is expected to be covered by  insurance,
     none  of  which  is  expected  to have a  material  adverse  effect  on the
     consolidated financial statements of the Partnership.

     Pursuant to a contract signed on December 6, 1999, the L/U II Joint Venture
     has a commitment to construct a building to be known as Lakeshore  Business
     Center  Phase  III on 3.8 acres of land it owns at the  Lakeshore  Business
     Center  Development.  The  construction  cost is currently  estimated to be
     $4,000,000  and  will  be  funded  by  working  capital  and  approximately
     $2,680,000 in debt  financing.  As of September 30, 2000,  the L/U II Joint
     Venture  has  incurred   approximately   $2,820,000  in  expenses  for  the
     construction of Lakeshore Business Center Phase III.

     On  July,  19,  2000,  there  was a fire at Golf  Brook  Apartments.  Eight
     apartment units sustained fire and/or smoke damage. The Partnership filed a
     claim with its insurance company,  and after meeting the $5,000 deductible,
     received an advance of $100,000  subsequent  to September  30, 2000.  It is
     unknown at this time,  if the costs of the repairs to the eight  apartments
     will be completely covered by the insurance claim.

     On September 8, 2000, the L/U II Joint Venture  obtained a loan from a bank
     for an  amount  not  exceeding  $2,680,000  to  fund  the  construction  of
     Lakeshore  Business  Center Phase III. This commitment is guaranteed by the
     L/U II Joint Venture, NTS-Properties V, NTS-Properties IV, Ltd. and NTS-Ft.
     Lauderdale,  Ltd.  The funds  will be used by the L/U II Joint  Venture  to
     construct  Lakeshore  Business  Center Phase III. The loan bears a variable
     interest  rate  equal to a daily  floating  LIBOR rate as quoted for 30-day
     investments,  plus 230 basis  points  and is  secured  by 3.8 acres of land
     located at the Lakeshore  Business Center  Development and the improvements
     now and hereafter located on the land.

9.   Commitments and Contingencies - Continued
     -----------------------------------------

     As of September  30, 2000,  the L/U II Joint  Venture has a commitment  for
     approximately  $122,000  for tenant  improvements  on 6,190  square feet at
     Lakeshore  Business  Center  Phase  III.  The  Partnership's  share of this
     commitment is approximately $13,000 and will be funded from debt financing.

     The L/U II Joint  Venture  anticipates  replacing  the  roofs at  Lakeshore
     Business  Center  Phase  I  for  a  cost  of  approximately  $200,000.  The
     Partnership's share of this project will be approximately  $22,000 and will
     be funded from cash flows from operations.

10.  Segment Reporting
     -----------------

     The Partnership's  reportable  operating  segments include  residential and
     commercial real estate operations. The residential operations represent the
     Partnership's   ownership  and  operating  results  relative  to  apartment
     communities  known as Golf Brook and The Willows of Plainview  Phases I and
     II. The commercial  operations  represent the  Partnership's  ownership and
     operating  results  relative to suburban  commercial  office space known as
     Commonwealth  Business Center Phase I, Plainview Point Office Center Phases
     I, II, and III,  Blankenbaker  Business  Center 1A and  Lakeshore  Business
     Center Phases I, II and III.

     The financial information of the operating segments has been prepared using
     a management  approach,  which is  consistent  with the basis and manner in
     which the Partnership's management internally reports financial information
     for the purposes of assisting in making internal operating  decisions.  The
     Partnership's   management  evaluated   performance  based  on  stand-alone
     operating segment net income.

11.  Recent Accounting Pronouncement
     -------------------------------

     The  Emerging  Issues  Task  Force  ("EITF")  of the  Financial  Accounting
     Standards  Board  ("FASB")  has  reached a  consensus  on Issue  No.  00-1,
     "Applicability  of the Pro Rata Method of  Consolidation  to Investments in
     Certain  Partnerships  and Other  Unincorporated  Joint Ventures." The EITF
     reached  a  consensus  that  a  proportionate   gross  financial  statement
     presentation   (referred  to  as   "proportionate   consolidation"  in  the
     Partnership's  1999  Form  10-K  Notes  to  Financial  Statements)  is  not
     appropriate for an investment in an  unincorporated  legal entity accounted
     for by the equity  method of  accounting,  unless the investee is in either
     the  construction  industry  or an  extractive  industry  where  there is a
     longstanding practice of its use.

     The  consensus is  applicable to financial  statements  for annual  periods
     ending  after  June  15,  2000.  Upon  application  of the  consensus,  all
     comparative  financial  statements  shall be restated  to conform  with the
     consensus.  The  application  of  this  consensus  will  not  result  in  a
     restatement  of  previously   reported   partners'  equity  or  results  of
     operations,  but will result in a recharacterization or reclassification of
     certain financial  statements'  captions and amounts. The Partnership plans
     to restate its financial  statements using the equity method to account for
     its joint venture investments for the year ending December 31, 2000.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------
        of Operations
        -------------

Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of  Financial  Condition  and Results of
Operations  ("MD&A") is  structured  in four major  sections.  The first section
provides  information  related to  occupancy  levels and rental and other income
generated  by the  Partnership's  properties.  The  second  analyzes  results of
operations on a consolidated basis. The final sections address consolidated cash
flows and  financial  condition.  A  discussion  of  certain  market  risks also
follows.  MD&A should be read in  conjunction  with the Financial  Statements in
Item 1 and the Cautionary Statements below.

Cautionary Statements
---------------------

Some  of  the  statements  included  in  this  Item 2 may  be  considered  to be
"forward-looking  statements" since such statements relate to matters which have
not yet occurred.  For example,  phrases such as "the Partnership  anticipates,"
"believes"  or   "expects,"   indicate  that  it  is  possible  that  the  event
anticipated,  believed,  or expected may not occur. Should such event not occur,
then the result which the Partnership  expected also may not occur or occur in a
different  manner,  which may be more or less favorable to the Partnership.  The
Partnership does not undertake any obligations to publicly release the result of
any revisions to these  forward-looking  statements  that may be made to reflect
any future events or circumstances.

Any  forward-looking  statements  included in MD&A, or elsewhere in this report,
which reflect management's best judgement, based on factors known, involve risks
and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated
in any forward-looking  statements as a result of a number of factors, including
but not  limited  to those  discussed  below.  Any  forward-looking  information
provided by the  Partnership  pursuant to the safe harbor  established by recent
securities legislation should be evaluated in the context of these factors.

The  Partnership's  liquidity,  capital  resources and results of operations are
subject to a number of risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to the
following:  the ability of the  Partnership  to achieve  planned  revenues;  the
ability of the Partnership to make payments due under its debt  agreements;  the
ability of the  Partnership  to negotiate  and  maintain  terms with vendors and
service providers for operating expenses;  competitive pressures from other real
estate  companies,  including  large  commercial  and  residential  real  estate
companies,  which may  affect  the nature  and  viability  of the  Partnership's
business  strategy;  trends in the economy as a whole which may affect  consumer
confidence and demand for the types of rental property held by the  Partnership;
the  ability of the  Partnership  to predict  the  demand  for  specific  rental
properties;  the  ability  of the  Partnership  to attract  and retain  tenants;
availability  and costs of management and labor employed;  real estate occupancy
and development costs,  including  substantial fixed investment costs associated
with  renovations  necessary to obtain new tenants and retain existing  tenants;
and the risk of a major commercial  tenant  defaulting on its lease due to risks
generally  associated with real estate,  many of which are beyond the control of
the Partnership,  including general or local economic  conditions,  competition,
interest rates, real estate tax rates, other operating expenses and acts of God.

Results of Operations - Continued

It is the  Partnership's  understanding  that  SHPS,  Inc.  does not  intend  to
continue  to occupy the space at  Blankenbaker  Business  Center 1A through  the
duration  of its lease,  ending in July 2005.  The  Partnership's  proportionate
share of the rental income from this property  accounted for approximately 8% of
the  Partnership's  total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.
The Partnership has not yet determined the effect,  if any, on the Partnership's
operations,  given the fact SHPS,  Inc.  is under  lease  until July 2005 and no
official notice of termination has been received.

The following is an analysis of material  changes in results of  operations  for
the  periods  ending  September  30,  2000 and 1999.  Items  that did not have a
material  impact on operations  for the periods  listed above have been excluded
from this discussion.

Operating expenses - affiliated decreased approximately $9,000 or 7% and $44,000
or 12%  for  the  three  months  and  nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000,
respectively, as compared to the same periods in 1999. The decrease is primarily
due to decreased  salary and overhead  costs  allocated to the  Partnership as a
result of decreased property management and leasing expenses. Operating expenses
- affiliated  are expenses  incurred for services  performed by NTS  Development
Company, an affiliate of the General Partner.

Loss on disposal of assets for the three months and nine months ended  September
30, 2000,  can be attributed to the  retirement of building costs at The Willows
of Plainview  Phases I and II,  Lakeshore  Business  Center  Phases I and II and
Plainview  Point  Office  Center  Phases I and II.  The losses are the result of
exterior  wood and paint  replacements  at The Willows of Plainview I and II and
common  area  renovations  at  Lakeshore  Business  Centers  Phases I and II and
Plainview  Point Office  Centers Phases I and II. Loss on disposal of assets for
the three months and nine months ended  September 30, 1999, can be attributed to
the retirement of building costs at The Willows of Plainview Phases I and II and
Golf Brook Apartments and to the retirement of tenant  improvements at Plainview
Point  Office  Center  Phases  I and  II.  The  losses  are  the  result  of the
replacement  of the alarm  system at The Willows of  Plainview  Phases I and II,
exterior  wood and  paint  replacements  at Golf  Brook  Apartments  and  tenant
improvements at Plainview Point Office Center Phases I and II.

Interest expense decreased  approximately  $20,000 or 13% and $71,000 or 14% for
the three months and nine months ended  September  30,  2000,  respectively,  as
compared to the same period in 1999. The decreases are primarily due to required
principal payments on the mortgages payable of the Partnership's properties.

Professional and administrative  expenses decreased approximately $16,000 or 35%
and $37,000 or 30% for the three  months and nine  months  ended  September  30,
2000, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 1999. The decrease is due
primarily to decreased legal and accounting fees related to the Tender Offer.

Results of Operations - Continued

Professional and administrative  expenses - affiliated  decreased  approximately
$9,000 or 25% and  $26,000  or 22% for the three  months and nine  months  ended
September  30,  2000,  respectively,  as compared  to the same  periods in 1999,
primarily as a result of decreased  overhead costs  allocated to the Partnership
as a  result  of  personnel  status  changes.  Professional  and  administrative
expenses - affiliated are expenses incurred for services  performed by employees
of NTS Development Company, an affiliate of the General Partner.

Also  contributing  to all of the  decreases  discussed  above is a decrease  in
ownership of L/U II Joint Venture. (See Notes to Financial Statements - Note 8).

Consolidated Cash Flows and Financial Condition
-----------------------------------------------

In the next 12 months, the demand on future liquidity is anticipated to increase
as the  Partnership  continues  its  efforts in the  leasing  of its  commercial
properties.  At this time, the future leasing and tenant finish costs which will
be required to renew the current leases or obtain new tenants are unknown. It is
anticipated  that the cash  flow  from  operations  and  cash  reserves  will be
sufficient to meet the needs of the Partnership.

</TABLE>

Net cash provided by operating activities increased  approximately  $131,000 for
the nine months  ended  September  30,  2000,  as compared to the same period in
1999.  The  increase  was  primarily  driven by an increase  in net income.  The
increase is partially offset by increased payments on accounts payable.

Net cash used in investing activities increased  approximately  $500,000 for the
nine months ended  September  30, 2000,  as compared to the same period in 1999.
The primary  reason for the increase in funds used in investing  activities  was
increased  capital  expenditures  for the  Lakeshore  Business  Center Phase III
construction, offset by the decrease in the maturity of investment securities.

Net cash used in financing activities decreased  approximately  $129,000 for the
nine months ended  September  30, 2000,  as compared to the same period in 1999.
The decrease is primarily due to an increase in mortgages payable and a decrease
in the repurchase of Limited Partnership Units.

Consolidated Cash Flows and Financial Condition - Continued
-----------------------------------------------------------

No distributions  were paid for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, or the
year ended December 31, 1999. Distributions will be resumed once the Partnership
has  established  adequate cash reserves and is generating  cash from operations
which, in management's  opinion, is sufficient to warrant future  distributions.
The  primary  source of future  liquidity  and  distributions  is expected to be
derived from cash generated by the Partnership's  properties after adequate cash
reserves are established for future leasing costs, tenant finish costs and other
capital   improvements.   Cash  reserves  (which  are   unrestricted   cash  and
equivalents)  as shown on the  Partnership's  balance  sheet as of September 30,
2000 were $424,265.

Due to the fact that no  distributions  were paid during the nine  months  ended
September  30,  2000 or 1999,  the table  which  presents  that  portion  of the
distribution  that  represents  a return  of  capital  on a GAAP  basis has been
omitted.

Currently,  the  Partnership's  plans for  renovations  and other major  capital
expenditures  include tenant  improvements  at the  Partnership's  properties as
required by lease negotiations and the construction of Lakeshore Business Center
Phase III as discussed below.  Changes to current tenant finish improvements are
a  typical  part of any  lease  negotiation.  Improvements  generally  include a
revision  to the  current  floor  plan to  accommodate  a  tenant's  needs,  new
carpeting and paint and/or wallcovering. The extent and cost of the improvements
are  determined  by  the  size  of  the  space  being  leased  and  whether  the
improvements  are for a new tenant or incurred  because of a lease renewal.  The
tenant finish  improvements will be funded by cash flow from operations and cash
reserves.

Pursuant to a contract  signed on December 6, 1999, the L/U II Joint Venture has
a commitment  to construct a building to be known as Lakeshore  Business  Center
Phase  III on 3.8  acres  of  land  it owns  at the  Lakeshore  Business  Center
Development.  The  construction  commenced in December 1999 and the construction
cost is  currently  estimated  to be  $4,000,000  and will be funded by  working
capital and  approximately  $2,680,000  in debt  financing.  As of September 30,
2000, the L/U II Joint Venture has incurred approximately $2,820,000 in expenses
for the construction of Lakeshore Business Center Phase III.

On July 14,  2000, a  settlement  agreement  relative to a class action suit was
executed in a claim  NTS-Properties  VI had  against  Masonite  Corporation  for
defective  hardboard  siding  installed  at  Golf  Brook  Apartments.   Masonite
Corporation  settled on 15 of 19 buildings at Golf Brook  Apartments  and paid a
total of approximately $254,000. An agreement has not been reached, at this time
for the remaining four buildings. NTS-Properties IV's share of the settlement is
approximately $10,000.

On July, 19, 2000,  there was a fire at Golf Brook  Apartments.  Eight apartment
units sustained fire and/or smoke damage. The Partnership filed a claim with its
insurance company, and after meeting the $5,000 deductible,  received an advance
of $100,000 subsequent to September 30, 2000. It is unknown at this time, if the
costs of the repairs to the eight  apartments will be completely  covered by the
insurance claim.

-----------------------------------------------------------

On September 8, 2000,  the L/U II Joint Venture  obtained a loan from a bank for
an  amount  not  exceeding  $2,680,000  to fund the  construction  of  Lakeshore
Business  Center Phase III.  This  commitment  is guaranteed by the L/U II Joint
Venture,  NTS-Properties V, NTS-Properties IV, Ltd. and NTS-Ft. Lauderdale, Ltd.
The  funds  will be used by the L/U II  Joint  Venture  to  construct  Lakeshore
Business  Center Phase III. The loan bears a variable  interest  rate equal to a
daily  floating  LIBOR  rate as quoted for  30-day  investments,  plus 230 basis
points  and is secured by 3.8 acres of land  located at the  Lakeshore  Business
Center Development and the improvements now and hereafter located on the land.

As of  September  30,  2000,  the L/U II  Joint  Venture  has a  commitment  for
approximately $122,000 for tenant improvements on 6,190 square feet at Lakeshore
Business  Center  Phase  III.  The  Partnership's  share of this  commitment  is
approximately $13,000 and will be funded from debt financing.

The L/U II Joint Venture  anticipates  replacing the roofs at Lakeshore Business
Center Phase I for a cost of approximately  $200,000. The Partnership's share of
this  project will be  approximately  $22,000 and will be funded from cash flows
from operations.

The  Partnership  has no other material  commitments  for renovations or capital
improvements as of September 30, 2000.

On  September  22,  2000,  the  Partnership  and ORIG,  LLC, an affiliate of the
Partnership,  filed a tender offer (the "Tender  Offer") with the Securities and
Exchange Commission,  commencing on September 22, 2000, to purchase up to 200 of
the  Partnership's  Limited  Partnership Units at a price of $205 per Unit as of
the date of the Tender  Offer.  Under the Tender  Offer,  the  Partnership  will
purchase the first 100 Units tendered and will fund its purchase and its portion
of the expenses from cash reserves.  If more than 100 Units are tendered,  ORIG,
LLC will  purchase  up to an  additional  100 Units.  If more than 200 Units are
tendered,  the bidders may choose to acquire the additional  Units on a pro rata
basis.  The  total  costs  of the  Tender  Offer  are  expected  to be  $51,000,
consisting  of $41,000  to  purchase  200 Units and  $10,000  of  expenses.  The
Partnership expects that its share of these costs will be approximately $26,000.
Units that are  acquired  by the  Partnership  will be  retired.  Units that are
acquired by ORIG, LLC will be held by it. The General  Partner,  NTS- Properties
Associates IV, does not intend to  participate  in the Tender Offer.  The Tender
Offer will expire on December 22, 2000 unless extended.

The following  describes the efforts being taken by the  Partnership to increase
the occupancy levels at the Partnership's commercial properties. The leasing and
renewal negotiations at the Lakeshore Business Center Development are handled by
an on-site leasing agent,  an employee of NTS Development  Company (an affiliate
of the  General  Partner  of the  Partnership),  who  makes  calls to  potential
tenants,  negotiates  lease  renewals  with  current  tenants and manages  local
advertising  with the assistance of NTS Development  Company's  marketing staff.
The leasing and renewal negotiations for the Partnership's  remaining commercial
properties are handled by leasing  agents,  who are employees of NTS Development
Company, located in Louisville, Kentucky. The leasing

agents  are  located  in  the  same  city  as  the  commercial  properties.  All
advertising  for these  properties is coordinated by NTS  Development  Company's
marketing staff located in Louisville, Kentucky.

In an effort to continue to improve occupancy at the  Partnership's  residential
properties,  the Partnership has an on-site leasing staff,  who are employees of
NTS Development Company, at each of the apartment communities. The staff handles
all on-site visits from potential  tenants,  coordinates  local advertising with
NTS Development  Company's  marketing staff,  makes visits to local companies to
promote fully  furnished  apartments and negotiates  lease renewals with current
residents.

Leases at Commonwealth Business Center Phase I, Blankenbaker Business Center 1A,
and  Lakeshore  Business  Center  Phases I, II and III  provide  for  tenants to
contribute toward the payment of common area expenses, insurance and real estate
taxes.  Leases at Plainview Point Office Center Phases I, II and III provide for
tenants to contribute toward the payment of increases in common area maintenance
expenses,  insurance,  utilities and real estate taxes.  These lease provisions,
along with the fact that  residential  leases are  generally for a period of one
year, should protect the  Partnership's  operations from the impact of inflation
and changing prices.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
        ----------------------------------------------------------

Our primary market risk exposure with regard to financial instruments is changes
in interest  rates.  At  September  30,  2000,  a  hypothetical  100 basis point
increase in interest rates would result in an approximate  $270,000  decrease in
the fair value of the debt.
