                          Notes to Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)

1.    General
      -------

      The accompanying financial statements, footnotes and discussions should be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes contained in the
Partnership's Annual Report for the year ended March 31, 1998. In the opinion of
management, the accompanying financial statements,  which have not been audited,
reflect all adjustments  necessary to present fairly the results for the interim
period. All of the accounting  adjustments reflected in the accompanying interim
financial statements are of a normal recurring nature.

      The  accompanying  financial  statements have been prepared on the accrual
basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles
which  requires  management to make  estimates and  assumptions  that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent  assets
and  liabilities  as of December  31, 1998 and March 31, 1998 and  revenues  and
expenses for the three- and nine-month periods ended December 31, 1998 and 1997.
Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used.

      On December 1, 1998, the Partnership  sold its one remaining joint venture
investment,  the Portland  Center  Apartments  (see Note 3).  Management  of the
Partnership is currently  pursuing a liquidation of the Partnership  which could
be  accomplished  prior to the end of  fiscal  1999.  There  are no  assurances,
however,  that a liquidation of the Partnership will be accomplished within this
time frame.

2.    Related Party Transactions
      --------------------------

      The  Adviser  earns a  management  fee equal to  approximately  10% of the
Distributable  Cash of the  Partnership,  as defined,  pursuant to the  advisory
agreement.  The Adviser earned management fees totalling $48,000 and $45,000 for
the nine-month periods ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

      Included in general and administrative  expenses for the nine months ended
December  31, 1998 and 1997 is $48,000 and $47,000,  respectively,  representing
reimbursements  to an affiliate of the Managing  General  Partner for  providing
certain  financial,  accounting  and  investor  communication  services  to  the
Partnership.

      Also included in general and administrative  expenses for each of the nine
months ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 is $2,000 representing fees earned by an
affiliate,  Mitchell Hutchins  Institutional  Investors,  Inc., for managing the
Partnership's cash assets.

      In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, sale or refinancing proceeds
are to be  distributed  first,  100% to the Limited  Partners  until the Limited
Partners have received their  original  capital  contributions  and a cumulative
annual  return  of  6%  based  upon  a  Limited   Partner's   Adjusted   Capital
Contributions,  as defined  in the  Partnership  Agreement.  Next,  the  General
Partners are to receive an amount equal to 1% of the total amount distributed to
Limited Partners for the return of their Adjusted  Capital  Contribution and the
6%  cumulative  preferred  return.  Then a real estate  brokerage  commission is
payable  to the  Partnership's  Adviser.  In  connection  with  the sale of each
property,  the Adviser is entitled to receive a real estate brokerage commission
in an amount equal to the lower of 2% of the selling prices of the properties in
the portfolio or 50% of the standard real estate brokerage commission that would
be charged by unaffiliated  third parties providing  comparable  services in the
areas  where the  property is located.  Pursuant to this  provision,  a total of
$350,000  will be paid to the Adviser  (which is  included  in accounts  payable
affiliates  as of  December  31,  1998) which  represents  0.357% of the selling
prices of the  properties,  or 50% of the standard  fee. Any  remaining  sale or
refinancing proceeds would be distributed  initially 90% to the Limited Partners
and 10% to the General Partners until the Limited Partner's cumulative preferred
return totals 10%; thereafter,  85% would be distributed to the Limited Partners
and 15% to the General Partners. To date, all sale and refinancing proceeds have
been  distributed  100% to the Limited  Partners.  Based on an  estimated  Final
Distribution  of $850 per  original  $1,000  investment,  Limited  Partners  who
acquired  their Units during the original  offering  period will have received a
full return of their original capital contributions,  their cumulative preferred
return of 6%, as defined in the Partnership  Agreement,  and their proportionate
share of  $1,400,000  which  represents  a 90%  share in the  remaining  sale or
refinancing  proceeds  after the  payment  of the  brokerage  commission  to the
Adviser.  The  General  Partners  of the  Partnership  will  receive  a total of
approximately $640,000 as their 1% share and 10% residual share noted above.

3.    Investments in Joint Venture Partnerships
      -----------------------------------------

      As of December 31, 1997,  the  Partnership  had an investment in one joint
venture partnership which owned an operating property as more fully described in
the Partnership's Annual Report. The joint venture,  Oregon Portland Associates,
owned Portland  Center,  a 525-unit  high-rise  apartment  property,  located in
Portland, Oregon, which also contains 28,000 square feet of commercial space. On
December 1, 1998, Oregon Portland Associates sold the Portland Center Apartments
and Office Complex to a third party. As previously reported, the Partnership had
been  focusing  on a  near-term  sale  of  the  Portland  Center  property,  the
Partnership's   only  remaining  real  estate  asset,  to  be  followed  by  the
liquidation of the Partnership. The property was extensively marketed during the
first and second  quarters of fiscal 1998 resulting in 13 offers to purchase the
property,  most of which  were at a sale  price  substantially  in excess of the
property's most recent independent  appraised value. The prospective  purchasers
were then asked to submit their best and final  offers  which  resulted in final
offers  from  seven  prospective  buyers.  The  Partnership  then  completed  an
evaluation  of the seven final offers,  as well as the relative  strength of the
prospective  purchasers,  and selected one of the offers.  On November 25, 1997,
the Partnership executed a purchase and sale agreement with a prospective buyer.
During the fourth  quarter of fiscal  1998,  the  prospective  buyer  decided to
terminate  the  purchase  and sale  agreement  and  discontinued  its efforts to
acquire the property.  The Partnership  subsequently  re-opened discussions with
the other  prospective  purchasers who had  previously  submitted best and final
offers.  Following  negotiations,  the Partnership selected an offer from one of
these prospective  buyers and signed a purchase and sale agreement.  Because the
Partnership's  joint venture  agreement gave the  co-venture  partner a right of
first  refusal to purchase the property,  this  purchase and sale  agreement was
then submitted to the partner for its review.  The co-venturer opted to exercise
its right of first  refusal and then assigned its right to purchase the property
to a third party at closing. Portland Center was sold for $48,950,000. The joint
venture received net proceeds of  approximately  $29,252,000 from the sale after
receiving  credits for proration  adjustments of approximately  $290,000 and net
working capital of approximately $2,705,000 and after deducting closing costs of
approximately  $396,000,  the  assumption of the existing first mortgage note of
$22,165,000 and accrued  interest of approximately  $132,000.  From the net sale
proceeds,  the  joint  venture  will be  obligated  to pay a tax to the  city of
Portland of  approximately  $370,000.  The remainder of the net proceeds will be
split between the Partnership and its co-venture  partner in accordance with the
joint venture agreement with the co-venturer  receiving  approximately  $360,000
and the Partnership receiving approximately $28,500,000.

    Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement,  after Limited Partners have received
a return of their Adjusted Capital  Contribution,  as defined in the Partnership
Agreement, as well as a cumulative preferred return of 6% based on that Adjusted
Capital Contribution,  the General Partners are to receive an amount equal to 1%
of the total  amount  distributed  to Limited  Partners  for the return of their
Adjusted Capital  Contribution and the 6% cumulative  preferred  return.  Then a
real estate brokerage  commission is payable to the  Partnership's  Adviser.  In
connection with the sale of each property,  the Adviser is entitled to receive a
real estate  brokerage  commission  in an amount equal to the lower of 2% of the
selling  prices of the  properties  in the portfolio or 50% of the standard real
estate brokerage  commission that would be charged by unaffiliated third parties
providing  comparable  services  in the areas  where the  property  is  located.
Pursuant  to this  provision,  a total of  $350,000  will be paid to the Adviser
which represents  0.357% of the selling prices of the properties,  or 50% of the
standard fee. Any remaining  sale or  refinancing  proceeds would be distributed
initially 90% to the Limited  Partners and 10% to the General Partners until the
Limited Partner's cumulative preferred return totals 10%; thereafter,  85% would
be distributed to the Limited Partners and 15% to the General Partners. To date,
all sale and  refinancing  proceeds  have been  distributed  100% to the Limited
Partners.  Based on an estimated Final  Distribution of $850 per original $1,000
investment,  Limited  Partners  who  acquired  their Units  during the  original
offering  period  will have  received a full  return of their  original  capital
contributions,  their  cumulative  preferred  return  of 6%, as  defined  in the
Partnership  Agreement,  and  their  proportionate  share  of  $1,400,000  which
represents a 90% share in the remaining sale or  refinancing  proceeds after the
payment of the brokerage  commission to the Adviser. The General Partners of the
Partnership will receive a total of approximately $640,000 as their 1% share and
10% residual share noted above.

    The  Partnership  will distribute the net proceeds from the sale of Portland
Center, along with the remaining  Partnership cash reserves after the payment of
all liquidation-related  expenses,  after receiving final documentation from the
Department  of  Housing  and Urban  Development  (HUD) for the sale and  related
assumption of the  HUD-insured  first mortgage loan which is secured by Portland
Center. Because the buyer assumed the existing HUD-insured mortgage loan secured
by the property,  the sale  transaction must be approved by HUD. The Partnership
is  currently  awaiting  receipt  of the  final  approval  from HUD for the loan
assumption. Such approval is not expected to be received for a period of between
90 and 120 days.  The  Partnership  expects to complete  an orderly  liquidation
immediately after receiving this formal approval.

     The joint venture is accounted  for by using the equity method  because the
Partnership  does not have a voting control  interest in the venture.  Under the
equity method,  the investment is carried at cost adjusted for the Partnership's
share of the  venture's  earnings and losses and  distributions.  For income tax
reporting  purposes,  the joint  venture is required to maintain its  accounting
records on a calendar  year basis.  As a result,  the joint venture is accounted
for based on financial  information which is three and nine months in arrears to
that of the  Partnership.  Due to the  Partnership's  policy of  accounting  for
significant  lag-period  transactions  in the  period in which they  occur,  the
Partnership  accelerated  the  recognition  of the  operating  results of Oregon
Portland  Associates during the quarter ended December 31, 1998 and recognized a
gain of  $30,423,000  on the sale of the Portland  Center  operating  investment
property.  Accordingly,  the Partnership's  share of venture's loss for the nine
months ended  December 31, 1998  reflects  the  Partnership's  share of Portland
Center's operations for the period January 1, 1998 through the date of sale.

     Summarized  operating  results  of  the  joint  venture,  for  the  periods
indicated, are as follows.

                         CONDENSED SUMMARY OF OPERATIONS
    For the periods July 1, 1998 through December 1, 1998 and January 1, 1998
through December 1, 1998 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Information Relating to Forward-Looking Statements
- --------------------------------------------------

      The following  discussion of financial condition includes  forward-looking
statements  which  reflect  management's  current  views with  respect to future
events and  financial  performance  of the  Partnership.  These  forward-looking
statements  are  subject to certain  risks and  uncertainties,  including  those
identified  in Item 7 of the  Partnership's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended March 31, 1998 under the heading  "Certain  Factors  Affecting Future
Operating  Results",  which could cause actual results to differ materially from
historical  results  or  those  anticipated.   The  words  "believe,"  "expect,"
"anticipate,"  and  similar  expressions  identify  forward-looking  statements.
Readers  are  cautioned  not to place undue  reliance  on these  forward-looking
statements,  which were made based on facts and conditions as they existed as of
the date of this report.  The  Partnership  undertakes no obligation to publicly
update or revise  any  forward-looking  statements,  whether  as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

      On December 1, 1998, Oregon Portland Associates,  a joint venture in which
the Partnership has an interest,  sold the property known as the Portland Center
Apartments and Office  Complex,  located in Portland,  Oregon,  to  EQR-Portland
Center, L.L.C. ("EQR"), the designated assignee of the Partnership's  co-venture
partner.  The  Partnership  had executed a purchase and sale  agreement  with an
unrelated  third party which was then presented to the co-venture  partner under
the right of first refusal provision of the joint venture  agreement.  Under the
terms of the joint  venture  agreement,  the partner  then had 30 days to decide
whether to agree to buy the  property  at the price and on the terms  offered by
the  prospective  purchaser,  or to waive its first refusal right and agree to a
sale to the prospective buyer. On June 12, 1998, the co-venture partner notified
the  Partnership  that it would be exercising its right to buy the property.  At
closing,  the co-venturer  assigned its purchase rights to EQR.  Portland Center
was  sold  for   $48,950,000.   The  joint  venture  received  net  proceeds  of
approximately  $29,252,000  from the sale after receiving  credits for proration
adjustments of  approximately  $290,000 and net working capital of approximately
$2,705,000 and after  deducting  closing costs of  approximately  $396,000,  the
assumption  of the  existing  first  mortgage  note of  $22,165,000  and accrued
interest  of  approximately  $132,000.  From the net sale  proceeds,  the  joint
venture will be obligated to pay a tax to the city of Portland of  approximately
$370,000.  The  remainder  of  the  net  proceeds  will  be  split  between  the
Partnership  and its  co-venture  partner in  accordance  with the joint venture
agreement  with  the  co-venturer  receiving   approximately  $360,000  and  the
Partnership receiving approximately $28,500,000. The Partnership will distribute
the net  proceeds  from the sale of Portland  Center,  along with the  remaining
Partnership cash reserves after the payment of all liquidation-related expenses,
after  receiving  final  documentation  from the Department of Housing and Urban
Development  (HUD) for the sale and related  assumption of the HUD-insured first
mortgage loan which is secured by Portland Center.

      Pursuant  to  the  Partnership  Agreement,  after  Limited  Partners  have
received  a return of their  Adjusted  Capital  Contribution,  as defined in the
Partnership  Agreement,  as well as a cumulative preferred return of 6% based on
that  Adjusted  Capital  Contribution,  the General  Partners  are to receive an
amount equal to 1% of the total amount  distributed to Limited  Partners for the
return of their Adjusted Capital  Contribution  and the 6% cumulative  preferred
return. Then a real estate brokerage  commission is payable to the Partnership's
Adviser.  In connection with the sale of each property,  the Adviser is entitled
to receive a real estate brokerage commission in an amount equal to the lower of
2% of the  selling  prices  of the  properties  in the  portfolio  or 50% of the
standard real estate brokerage  commission that would be charged by unaffiliated
third parties providing  comparable  services in the areas where the property is
located.  Pursuant to this  provision,  a total of $350,000  will be paid to the
Adviser which represents 0.357% of the selling prices of the properties,  or 50%
of the  standard  fee.  Any  remaining  sale or  refinancing  proceeds  would be
distributed  initially  90% to  the  Limited  Partners  and  10% to the  General
Partners until the Limited  Partner's  cumulative  preferred  return totals 10%;
thereafter,  85% would be  distributed  to the Limited  Partners  and 15% to the
General  Partners.  To  date,  all  sale  and  refinancing  proceeds  have  been
distributed  100%  to  the  Limited  Partners.   Based  on  an  estimated  Final
Distribution  of $850 per  original  $1,000  investment,  Limited  Partners  who
acquired  their Units during the original  offering  period will have received a
full return of their original capital contributions,  their cumulative preferred
return of 6%, as defined in the Partnership  Agreement,  and their proportionate
share of  $1,400,000  which  represents  a 90%  share in the  remaining  sale or
refinancing  proceeds  after the  payment  of the  brokerage  commission  to the
Adviser.  The  General  Partners  of the  Partnership  will  receive  a total of
approximately $640,000 as their 1% share and 10% residual share noted above.

      As previously  reported,  the Partnership had been focusing on a near-term
sale of the Portland  Center  property,  the  Partnership's  only remaining real
estate asset, to be followed by the liquidation of the Partnership. The property
was  extensively  marketed  during the first and second  quarters of fiscal 1998
resulting  in 13 offers to purchase the  property,  most of which were at a sale
price  substantially  in  excess  of  the  property's  most  recent  independent
appraised value. The prospective purchasers were then asked to submit their best
and final offers which resulted in final offers from seven  prospective  buyers.
The Partnership then completed an evaluation of the seven final offers,  as well
as the relative strength of the prospective purchasers,  and selected one of the
offers.  On November  25,  1997,  the  Partnership  executed a purchase and sale
agreement  with a prospective  buyer.  During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998,
the  prospective  buyer decided to terminate the purchase and sale agreement and
discontinued its efforts to acquire the property.  The Partnership  subsequently
re-opened  discussions with the other prospective  purchasers who had previously
submitted  best  and  final  offers.  Following  negotiations,  the  Partnership
selected an offer from one of these prospective buyers and signed a purchase and
sale  agreement.  Because the  Partnership's  joint venture  agreement  gave the
co-venture  partner a right of first  refusal to  purchase  the  property,  this
purchase and sale agreement was then submitted to the partner for its review. As
noted above,  the  co-venturer  opted to exercise its right of first refusal and
then  assigned  its right to purchase  the property to a third party at closing.
Because the buyer assumed the existing  HUD-insured mortgage loan secured by the
property,  the sale  transaction  must be approved by HUD.  The  Partnership  is
currently  awaiting  receipt  of the  final  approval  from  HUD  for  the  loan
assumption. Such approval is not expected to be received for a period of between
90 and 120 days.  The  Partnership  expects to complete  an orderly  liquidation
immediately after receiving this formal approval.

      At  December  31,  1998,  the  Partnership  had  available  cash  and cash
equivalents of approximately $30,277,000. Such cash and cash equivalents will be
utilized for the working capital needs of the Partnership and for  distributions
to the partners.  The source of future  liquidity to the partners is expected to
be through interest income earned on the proceeds  received from the sale of the
final operating investment property.  These sources of liquidity are expected to
be sufficient to meet the Partnership's  needs through its expected  liquidation
date.

      As noted above, the Partnership expects to be liquidated in early calendar
year 1999.  Notwithstanding  this, the Partnership believes that it has made all
necessary modifications to its existing systems to make them year 2000 compliant
and does not expect that additional  costs associated with year 2000 compliance,
if any, will be material to the Partnership's results of operations or financial
position.

Results of Operations
Three Months Ended December 31, 1998
- ------------------------------------

      The  Partnership  reported net income of $29,917,000  for the three months
ended  December  31,  1998,  as compared to a net loss of $498,000  for the same
period  in  the  prior  year.  This  favorable  change  of  $30,415,000  in  the
Partnership's  net  income  (loss) is  mainly  attributable  to the  $30,423,000
recognized as the Partnership's share of the gain on the sale of Portland Center
in the current quarter.

      The  Partnership  reported an  operating  loss of  $171,000  for the three
months ended  December 31, 1998, as compared to an operating loss of $30,000 for
the same period in the prior year.  The increase in operating loss was primarily
attributable to the brokerage commission payable to the Adviser of $350,000,  as
discussed  further above,  which was partially offset by an increase in interest
and other  income of  $119,000  and a  decrease  in general  and  administrative
expenses of $61,000.  Interest and other income  increased mainly as a result of
interest earned on the proceeds from the sale of Portland Center which have been
temporarily  invested  pending the Final  Distribution to the Limited  Partners.
General  and  administrative  expenses  decreased  as a result of a  decline  in
certain legal fees.

      The  Partnership  recognized a net loss of $335,000  from its share of the
Portland Center joint venture's  operations for the current  three-month period,
as compared to a net loss of $468,000 for the same period in the prior year. Due
to  the   Partnership's   policy  of  accounting  for   significant   lag-period
transactions in the period in which they occur, the Partnership  accelerated the
recognition of the operating  results of Oregon Portland  Associates  during the
quarter  ended  December  31,  1998 and  recognized  the gain on the sale of the
operating investment property. Accordingly, the current period includes Portland
Center's operations for the five-month period from July 1, 1998 through December
1, 1998. The increase in total  revenues from the Portland  Center joint venture
for the additional  two-month  period,  of $1,057,000,  exceeded the increase in
total expenses of $923,000. This more favorable change in the venture's revenues
was  primarily  due to an increase in average  rental rates when compared to the
prior period.

Nine Months Ended December 31, 1998
- -----------------------------------

      The  Partnership  reported net income of  $30,047,000  for the nine months
ended  December  31,  1998,  as compared to a net loss of $375,000  for the same
period  in  the  prior  year.  This  favorable  change  of  $30,422,000  in  the
Partnership's  net operating  results is mainly  attributable to the $30,423,000
recognized as the Partnership's share of the gain on the sale of Portland Center
in the current period.

      The Partnership reported an operating loss of $173,000 for the nine months
ended  December  31, 1998,  as compared to an operating  loss of $21,000 for the
same period in the prior year.  The  increase in  operating  loss was  primarily
attributable to the brokerage  commission of $350,000 payable to the Adviser, as
discussed  further above,  which was partially offset by an increase in interest
and other  income of  $124,000  and a  decrease  in general  and  administrative
expenses of $61,000.  Interest and other income  increased mainly as a result of
interest earned on the proceeds from the sale of Portland Center which have been
temporarily  invested  pending the Final  Distribution to the Limited  Partners.
General  and  administrative  expenses  decreased  as a result of a  decline  in
certain legal fees.

      The  Partnership  recognized a net loss of $203,000  from its share of the
Portland Center joint venture's operations for the current nine-month period, as
compared to a net loss of $354,000 for the same period in the prior year. Due to
the Partnership's policy of accounting for significant  lag-period  transactions
in the period in which they occur,  the Partnership  accelerated the recognition
of the operating  results of Oregon Portland  Associates during the period ended
December  31,  1998  and  recognized  the  gain  on the  sale  of the  operating
investment property.  Accordingly, the current period includes Portland Center's
operations for the eleven-month  period from January 1, 1998 through December 1,
1998. The increase in total revenues from the Portland  Center joint venture for
the additional  two-month  period,  of $835,000,  exceeded the increase in total
expenses of $683,000.  This more favorable change in the venture's  revenues was
primarily due to an increase in average  rental rates when compared to the prior
period.
