NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 1995
(Unaudited)



1.      ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL REPORTING POLICIES

The  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  included  herein  have been
prepared by the Registrant, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations
of the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission.  The  Registrant's  accounting and
financial   reporting   policies  are  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting  principles  and include  adjustments in interim  periods  considered
necessary  for a  fair  presentation  of  the  results  of  operations.  Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles
have been  condensed or omitted  pursuant to such rules and  regulations.  It is
suggested that these  consolidated  financial  statements be read in conjunction
with the  consolidated  financial  statements and notes thereto  included in the
Registrant's latest annual report on Form 10-K.

The accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  reflect the Partnership's
results of operations for an interim period and are not  necessarily  indicative
of the results of operations for the year ending December 31, 1995.


2.      CASH AVAILABLE FOR DISTRIBUTION

The Managing  General  Partner  determined  it to be in the best interest of the
Partnership  to retain  cash  available  for  distribution  from July 1, 1987 to
December 31, 1990 in order to increase the Partnership's  operating reserves. In
1991,  Management  began  to  distribute  cash  available  for  distribution.  A
distribution  of $49,980  will be paid in the quarter  ended  December  31, 1995
representing cash available for distribution from the third quarter.


3.      TAXABLE INCOME

The  Partnership's  results of  operations on a tax basis are expected to differ
from net income for financial reporting purposes primarily due to the accounting
differences in the recognition of depreciation and amortization.





<PAGE>



ITEM 2. -   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
            OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the three month periods ended
September 30, 1995 and 1994

The  Partnership's  operating  results for the quarter ended  September 30, 1995
improved relative to the same period in 1994. The Partnership's net loss for the
quarter declined from $234,513 in 1994 to $96,693 in 1995, a result of increased
income of $80,433 and decreased expenses of $57,387.

The  Partnership's  income  increased  by 4.9%  from  $1,625,309  to  $1,705,742
primarily as the result of increased rental revenue. Rental revenue increased at
three of the Partnership's four properties.  The revenue increases were achieved
by maintaining  stable occupancy levels while increasing  rental rates.  Average
occupancy for the quarter ended  September 30, 1995 was 92.5%  compared to 91.4%
in the same period last year. Average rents at the properties  increased by 3.5%
in 1995 compared to the similar period in 1994.

The  Partnership's  total operating  expenses  increased by .5% from $868,690 in
1994 compared to $872,682 in 1995. The Partnership's other expenses decreased by
$61,379  primarily  due to  decreased  interest  expense on lower debt  balances
outstanding.

For the nine month periods ended
September 30, 1995 and 1994

The  Partnership  operated at a net loss of $433,202  for the nine months  ended
September 30, 1995, compared to a net loss of $690,326 for the nine months ended
September  30,  1994.   Excluding   non-cash  items  such  as  depreciation  and
amortization,  however,  the  Partnership's  properties  have, in the aggregate,
generated cash flow,  which the Partnership has used to make (i) improvements to
the properties,  (ii) principal payments on the loans encumbering the properties
and (iii) cash distributions to limited partners.

The  Partnership's  income  increased  by 4.3% for the first nine months of 1995
compared  to the  first  nine  months of 1994,  primarily  as a result of a 4.6%
increase  in  rental  income.  On an  aggregate  basis,  average  rents  at  the
Partnership's  four properties have increased by 4.6% over the first nine months
of 1994. While overall average occupancy  declined slightly from 92% to 91%, the
Partnership was able to  significantly  reduce the level of tenant  concessions,
especially at Stratford Place Apartments.  Improved occupancy at Stratford Place
(from  92% to 97%) was  offset by  declines  at  Sunflower  (from 92% to 89%) at
Meadow Wood (from 90% to 89%) and Stratford Village (from 93% to 88%).

The direct operating costs of the  Partnership's  properties  increased by 4.1%,
primarily  as a result  of a  one-time  fee that  was paid to a  consultant  for
reducing  the  1994  through  1996  real  estate  tax  liability  of some of the
Partnership's  properties.  This  payment  is  reflected  in  the  Partnership's
"General &  Administrative"  expense.  In addition,  the  Partnership's  utility
expense increased by 2.4% and repairs and maintenance expense increased by 2.0%,
primarily as a result of  additional  carpet  replacements  in apartment  units.
Interest  expense  declined  as a  result  of  the  Partnership's  significantly
reducing  the  principal  balance of the  Sunflower  mortgage  loan as part of a
restructuring of the loan during 1994.












<PAGE>



The Dallas (Sunflower) and Gaithersburg,  Maryland (Stratford Place) markets are
currently  stable.  The  submarket of  Jacksonville,  Florida  (Meadow Wood) has
weakened  somewhat as indicated by the property's  lower  occupancy for the 1995
third  quarter.  Competition  in  the  Montgomery,  Alabama,  market  (Stratford
Village)  has  increased  dramatically  with  the  addition  of over  1,000  new
apartment  units over the last year. The  Partnership  continues to make capital
improvements  to the  properties to enhance their  competitiveness  within their
local markets. The Partnership spent $354,885 on capital improvements during the
first nine months of 1995  compared  to $110,040 in the nine months of 1994.  At
two of the  properties  (Meadow Wood and  Stratford  Village),  a portion of the
capital  improvements  is funded by  replacement  reserves  held by the mortgage
lenders,  with the balance  being funded from  operations.  The balance of these
replacement  reserves was $383,024 at September 30, 1995.  Capital  improvements
from the other two properties are funded entirely from operations.

The  Partnership is currently  pursuing a refinancing of the first mortgage loan
encumbering  Stratford Place  Apartments in  Gaithersburg,  Maryland,  and it is
unclear whether the  Partnership  will be able to obtain a new loan large enough
to repay the existing loan in its entirety.  In addition,  the  Partnership  has
been using its  reserves  to make the  increased  debt  service  payments on the
Sunflower  Apartments  mortgage loan that are required by the  restructuring  of
that loan and repay the Suflower  loan.  The  increased  payments are serving to
significantly  reduce the principal balance of that loan such that the loan will
be fully repaid by the end of 1996.

The  results of  operations  in future  quarters  may differ from the results of
operations  for the quarter  ended  September  30, 1995,  due to  inflation  and
changing economic  conditions which could affect occupancy levels,  rental rates
and operating expenses.
