NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1996


1.      GENERAL

The accompanying financial statements,  footnotes and discussions should be read
in conjunction with the financial statements,  related footnotes and discussions
contained in the  Partnership's  Annual  Report for the year ended  December 31,
1995.

The  financial  information  contained  herein is  unaudited.  In the opinion of
management,  all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such financial
information  have  been  included.  All  adjustments  are of a normal  recurring
nature.  The  balance  sheet at  December  31,  1995 was  derived  from  audited
financial statements at such date.

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.


2.      MORTGAGE PAYABLE

In January 1996, the loan  encumbering the  Partnership's  Sunflower  Apartments
property was refinanced.  The new loan in the principal amount  $2,700,000 bears
interest at 7.46% per annum, requires monthly principal and interest payments of
$18,085 and matures on February 11, 2026. The Partnership  received net proceeds
of approximately  $1,200,000  after paying off the former  mortgage.  Of the net
refinancing  proceeds,  $900,000 was used to pay off the second  mortgage on the
Stratford Place Apartments, whose mortgage matures on May 1, 1996.

3.      RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The total management fees paid to Winthrop Management,  an affiliate of WFA, for
managing the Partnership's  four properties for the quarter ended March 31, 1996
was $82,250. The property management fee for each property is calculated as 5.0%
of the property's gross collections for the quarter.

Item 2                Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
                      ---------------------------------------------------------

       This Item should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
other items contained elsewhere in the report.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

       The  Partnership  receives  rental  income  from  its  properties  and is
responsible   for   operating   expenses,   administrative   expenses,   capital
improvements and debt service payment.  The Partnership's  properties are leased
to tenants pursuant to leases with original terms ranging from three to fourteen
months.

       The level of liquidity based on cash and cash  equivalents  experienced a
$509,735  increase  at March 31, 1996 as compared  to  December  31,  1995.  The
increase is attributable to approximately $1,200,000 of art proceeds received by
the  Partnership  from the  refinancing  of its  Sunflower  Apartments  property
(described  below)  which was only  partially  offset by cash  distributions  to
partners and cash used for capital improvements  (investing  activities).  Also,
net refinancing proceeds of $900,000 were used to pay off the second mortgage on
Stratford Place Apartments.

       On January 25, 1996, the loan  encumbering  the  Partnership's  Sunflower
Apartments  property was refinanced.  The new loan is in the principal amount of
$2,700,000,  bears interest at 7.46% per annum and matures on February 11, 2026.
The fixed  monthly  rental  payment of interest  and  principal  of $18,805 is a
significant decrease from the $47,893 required under the previous loan.

       Two of the markets in which the  Partnership's  properties  are  located,
Dallas,  Texas (Sunflower) and Gaithersburg,  Maryland  (Stratford  Place),  are
currently  stable.  The  submarket of  Jacksonville,  Florida  (Meadow Wood) has
weakened  somewhat and competition in the Montgomery,  Alabama market (Stratford
Village) has increased  with the addition of over 1,000 new  apartment  units to
the market in the last few years.  The  Partnership  continues  to make  capital
improvements  to the  properties to enhance their  competitiveness  within their
markets.  The Partnership  spent  approximately  $93,000 on capital  improvement
during the first  quarter of 1996 which were funded from  operating  revenue and
replacement reserves held by the mortgage lenders.

       The Partnership  invests its working  capital  reserves in a money market
account or repurchase  agreements secured by United States Treasury obligations.
The  Managing  General  Partner  believes  that,  if  market  conditions  remain
relatively stable, cash flow from operations, when combined with working capital
reserves will be sufficient to fund required  capital  improvements  and regular
debt  service  payments in the near future and maintain  quarterly  distribution
levels.

Results of Operations

       Operating  results before other expenses improved by $4,772 for the three
months  ended  March 31,  1996 as  compared  to the same period in 1995 due to a
decrease in operating  expenses of $11,251 which was only partially  offset by a
decrease in income of $6,479.

       Income  decreased  by $6,479 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 as
compared to 1995 due to a decrease in rental income which was  partially  offset
by an increase  in  interest  income and other  income.  The  decrease in rental
income  was  due  to a  decrease  in  overall  occupancy  at  the  Partnership's
properties for the period ended March 31, 1996.

       Operating  expenses decreased by $11,251 for the three months ended March
31, 1996 as compared to 1995 primarily due to decreases in leasing,  general and
administrative  and repair and maintenance  expenses which were partially offset
by increases in utility charges and taxes.
