and footnotes thereto included in the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-KSB
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1996 information to conform to
the 1997 presentation.

The Partnership realized equity income from Northtown of approximately
$6,970,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, and realized equity
loss of approximately $764,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.
During the fourth quarter of 1997, all remaining liabilities of this joint
venture will be paid and the joint venture will be terminated.

The Partnership accounts for its 33.3% investment in Northtown using the equity
method of accounting.  Under the equity method, the Partnership records its
equity interest in income and losses of the joint venture; however, the
investment in the joint venture will be recorded at an amount less than zero (a
liability) to the extent of the Partnership's share of net liabilities of the
joint venture (See "Note D" for information regarding the sale of this
investment property).


NOTE C - TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED PARTIES

The Partnership has no employees and is dependent on the Managing General
Partner and its affiliates for the management and administration of all
Partnership activities.  The Partnership Agreement provides for payments to
affiliates for services and as reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by
affiliates on behalf of the Partnership.

The following expenses owed to the Managing General Partner and affiliates
during the nine months ended September 30, 1997, and September 30, 1996, were
paid or accrued:

                                                       1997      1996
                                                        (in thousands)
Property management fees                              $ 52      $ 47
Reimbursement for services of affiliates               124       137
Lease commissions                                       24        --

Included in reimbursements for services of affiliates at September 30, 1997, is
approximately $27,000 in construction oversight costs.

For the period from January 1, 1996, to August 31, 1997, the Partnership insured
its properties under a master policy through an agency and insurer unaffiliated
with the Managing General Partner.  An affiliate of the Managing General Partner
acquired, in the acquisition of a business, certain financial obligations from
an insurance agency which was later acquired by the agent who placed the master
policy.  The agent assumed the financial obligations to the affiliate of the
Managing General Partner who receives payment on these obligations from the
agent.  The amount of the Partnership's insurance premiums that accrued to the
benefit of the affiliate of the Managing General Partner by virtue of the
agent's obligations was not significant.

NOTE D - SALE OF NORTHTOWN MALL

On May 12, 1997, the Partnership sold Northtown Mall to an affiliate of the
lender. The sale resulted in net proceeds of approximately $1,200,000, after
payment of closing costs, and the gain on the sale amounted to approximately
$23,627,000.  The economic closing of the sale of Northtown Mall was as of April
1, 1997, at which time the Partnership was released from the mortgage note
secured by this property in the amount of approximately $51,326,000.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

The Partnership's investment properties consist of one apartment complex and one
commercial property.  The following table sets forth the average occupancy of
the properties for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996:


                                                   Average Occupancy
                                                  1997           1996
Lake Forest Apartments (1)
  Brandon, Mississippi                             92%           92%
Poplar Square Shopping Center
  Medford, Oregon                                  93%           94%

  
(1)  The Managing General Partner expects occupancy to improve at this property
     during the remainder of 1997 and into 1998.  The property has undergone
     various exterior building improvements in an effort to improve the curb
     appeal.

The Partnership realized a net loss of approximately $113,000 and net income of
approximately $6,731,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997,
respectively, as compared to net losses of approximately $325,000 and
approximately $994,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996,
respectively. The increase in net income for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1997, over the same period in 1996, is due to the equity in income
of the joint venture, as a result of the gain realized on the sale of Northtown
Mall in the second quarter of 1997 (see "Note D").  For the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1997, versus 1996, loss before equity in income
(loss) of the joint venture increased slightly due to an increase in total
expenses, which was only partially offset by an increase in total revenues.

Despite a slight drop in occupancy for the Partnership, rental income increased
during the nine months ended September 30, 1997, as compared to the nine months
ended September 30, 1996, due to an increase in average annual rental rates at
Lake Forest Apartments.  Other income decreased during the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1997, as compared to the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1996, due to a decrease in interest income as a result of a
decrease in cash investments.  The Partnership began the 1996 year with over
$1,800,000 in cash and was able to invest a significant portion of this cash
until it was advanced to Northtown (See discussion below).  In September 1997,
$1,066,000 of these advances were recovered. Contributing to the overall
increase in expenses was an increase in maintenance expense. Maintenance expense
increased at Lake Forest Apartments due to an exterior painting project and
other various exterior building improvements undertaken in an effort to improve
the appearance of the property.  Partially offsetting this increase in overall
expenses was a decrease in general and administrative expenses due to a decrease
in reimbursements for services of affiliates, excluding construction oversight
costs.  Also, interest expense decreased due to the refinancing of the mortgage
debt secured by Poplar Square Shopping Center in November 1996.  This debt was
refinanced at a lower interest rate.

Bad debt expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, was a
result of an increase in the reserve required based on a review of tenants'
accounts at the Poplar Square Shopping Center.  No such reserve was required
during the nine months ended September 30, 1997.

On May 12, 1997, the Partnership sold Northtown Mall to an affiliate of the
lender. The sale resulted in net proceeds of approximately $1,200,000, after
payment of closing costs, and the gain on the sale amounted to approximately
$23,627,000.  The Partnership's pro-rata share of this gain is included in
"Equity in income of joint venture" in the accompanying statement of operations.
The economic closing of the sale of Northtown Mall is as of April 1, 1997, at
which time the Partnership was released from the mortgage note of approximately
$51,326,000.  During the fourth quarter of 1997, all remaining liabilities of
this joint venture will be paid and the joint venture will be terminated.

Included in maintenance expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, is
$165,000 of major repairs and maintenance comprised of parking lot seal-coating
and repairs, exterior building improvements, and exterior painting.  For the
nine months ended September 30, 1996, $10,000 of major repairs and maintenance,
comprised of exterior building improvements, is included in maintenance expense.

As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the Managing General
Partner monitors the rental market environment of each of its investment
properties to assess the feasibility of increasing rents, maintaining or
increasing occupancy levels and protecting the Partnership from increases in
expenses.  As part of this plan, the Managing General Partner attempts to
protect the Partnership from the burden of inflation-related increases in
expenses by increasing rents and maintaining a high overall occupancy level.
However, due to changing market conditions, which can result in the use of
rental concessions and rental reductions to offset softening market conditions,
there is no guarantee that the Managing General Partner will be able to sustain
such a plan.

At September 30, 1997, the Partnership held unrestricted cash and cash
equivalents of $2,389,000 compared to $1,141,000 at September 30, 1996.  Net
cash provided by operating activities remained relatively constant.  Net cash
provided by investing activities increased due to collection on advances from
the joint venture as a result of the distribution of the remaining cash after
the sale of Northtown Mall, along with a decrease in advances to the joint
venture.  Prior to the sale of the property, the Northtown Mall property had
continued to experience cash shortfalls and had been dependent upon the
Partnership and Angeles Income Properties, Ltd. IV (the 66.7% owner of
Northtown) to cover such shortfalls in order to meet operating and debt service
requirements for this property (see discussion at "Note D" regarding this
investment property).  During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the
Partnership advanced $721,000 to Northtown. There were no advances to Northtown
during the nine months ended September 30, 1997. Partially offsetting the
decrease in advances to joint venture was an increase in cash used for property
improvements and replacements at Lake Forest Apartments. Net cash used in
financing activities decreased due to the loan costs incurred in 1996 in an
effort to refinance the mortgage indebtedness secured by the Poplar Square
Shopping Center.  This mortgage indebtedness was refinanced in November 1996.
As a result of the refinance, the monthly payments to service this debt
decreased causing a decrease in payments on the mortgage note payable.

The sufficiency of existing liquid assets to meet future liquidity and capital
expenditure requirements is directly related to the level of capital
expenditures required at the properties to adequately maintain the physical
assets and other operating needs of the Partnership.  Such assets are currently
thought to be sufficient for any near-term needs of the Partnership.  The
mortgage indebtedness of $3,766,000, which is secured by the Poplar Square
Shopping Center investment property, carries a stated interest rate of 9.2% and
matures in November 2006. Future cash distributions will depend on the levels of
net cash generated from operations, property sales and the availability of cash
reserves.  The Managing General Partner is currently evaluating the economic
position of the Partnership and the Partnership's ability to make a distribution
in 1997.  During the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, there were
no distributions paid.
