NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The unaudited  interim  financial  statements should be read in conjunction with
the Partnership's annual 1997 audited financial statements within Form 10-K.

The unaudited financial statements include all normal and recurring  adjustments
which are, in the opinion of  management,  necessary to present a fair statement
of financial position as of September 30, 1998 and the results of operations and
cash  flows  for the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  1998 and 1997 and the
statement of partners' capital (deficit) for the nine months ended September 30,
1998. Results of operations for the period are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year.

Certain  prior year  amounts have been  reclassified  in order to conform to the
current year's presentation.

The  Partnership's  real estate  assets,  deferred rent  receivable  and prepaid
leasing costs were  reclassified on the consolidated  balance sheets at June 30,
1998 to "Real estate assets held for disposition." Accordingly,  the Partnership
has suspended  depreciation  and  amortization  in accordance  with Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 121,  "Accounting  for the  Impairment  of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of."

No  significant  events have  occurred  subsequent  to fiscal year 1997,  and no
material  contingencies  exist which would  require  disclosure  in this interim
report per Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01, Paragraph (a)(5).

Part I, Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
                 Condition and Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The General  Partners are currently  marketing three of the  Partnership's  four
remaining  properties for sale. While it is anticipated that the properties will
be sold by the end of the first quarter of 1999,  there can be no assurance that
the sales will occur within this time frame.

In view of the anticipated sale of the properties, the Partnership's real estate
has been recorded on the Partnership's September 30, 1998 balance sheet as "Real
estate assets held for disposition."  Real estate assets held for disposition at
September 30, 1998 totaled $22,387,310.

The Partnership had cash and cash equivalents  totaling  $1,618,590 at September
30, 1998, compared to $1,273,014 at December 31, 1997. The increase is primarily
due to net  cash  provided  by  operating  activities  exceeding  cash  used for
investing  activities and  distributions.  The  Partnership  also had restricted
cash, which primarily consists of security deposits of $230,904 at September 30,
1998, largely unchanged from $222,883 at December 31, 1997.

Accounts and rent receivable,  net of allowance for doubtful  accounts,  totaled
$55,310 at  September  30, 1998,  compared to $80,601 at December 31, 1997.  The
decrease  is  mainly  due  to the  timing  of  rental  receipts.  Deferred  rent
receivable totaled $-0- at September 30, 1998,  compared to $152,030 at December
31, 1997. The decrease is due to the  amortization  of deferred rent  associated
with   older   leases  at  all  of  the   Partnership's   properties,   and  the
reclassification  of certain  deferred  rents to "Real  estate  assets  held for
disposition."

Prepaid  leasing costs and other assets  totaled  $87,921 at September 30, 1998,
compared  to  $704,043  at  December  31,  1997.  The  decrease  is  due  to the
reclassification  of  prepaid  leasing  costs to "Real  estate  assets  held for
disposition." The current balance primarily represents prepaid insurance.

Accounts  payable and accrued  expenses  totaled $744,289 at September 30, 1998,
compared to $437,027 at December  31,  1997.  The increase is largely due to the
accrual of real estate taxes for all four properties.

Prepaid rent  decreased to $-0- at  September  30, 1998,  compared to $58,937 at
December 31, 1997 primarily due to the timing of rental payments.

Since  inception,  the Partnership has paid total cash  distributions of $183.81
per original $500 Unit,  including $16.00 per Unit in return of capital payments
which have  reduced  the Unit size from $500 to $484.  In  consideration  of the
Partnership's   marketing   efforts  and  the  need  to  fund  several   capital
improvements   at  the  properties  to  better  position  them  for  sale,  cash
distributions were suspended commencing with the 1998 third quarter distribution
which  would  have been paid in  November.  Once the  properties  are sold,  the
General   Partners  will   distribute  the  net  proceeds,   together  with  the
Partnership's  remaining  cash  reserves  (after  payment of a provision for the
Partnership's liabilities and expenses), and dissolve the Partnership.

Results of Operations

The Partnership's  operations resulted in net income of $811,719 and $1,072,399,
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998,  respectively,  compared
to a net  income  (loss) of  $60,673  and  $(9,280)  in the  corresponding  1997
periods.  The change from net loss to net income is  primarily  attributable  to
higher  rental  income  and a  decrease  in  depreciation  expense  due  to  the
reclassification of the properties as "Real estate assets held for disposition."

Rental income  totaled  $1,531,802  and $4,231,047 for the three and nine months
ended  September 30, 1998,  respectively,  compared to $1,252,692 and $3,552,770
for the corresponding  periods a year ago. The increase is largely  attributable
to higher  rental  income at Quorum II Office  Building,  the occupancy of which
increased  on average for the  quarter,  although  down at period end.  Interest
income totaled $16,486 and $51,827 for the three and nine months ended September
30, 1998,  respectively,  compared to $20,524 and $59,954 a year ago. The slight
decrease is  primarily  attributable  to the  Partnership's  lower  average cash
balances in 1998.

Property  operating  expenses  totaled $579,608 and $1,783,596 for the three and
nine months ended  September  30, 1998,  respectively,  compared to $572,948 and
$1,700,482 a year ago.  The increase is primarily  due to higher real estate tax
expense at Quorum II Office Building and Fort Lauderdale Commerce Center.

Depreciation and amortization  expense totaled $-0- and $1,077,838 for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1998,  respectively,  compared with $538,877
and $1,553,613 for the corresponding  periods in 1997. The Partnership suspended
depreciation  and  amortization on July 1, 1998, in accordance with Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 121,  "Accounting  for the  Impairment  of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of."

General  and  administrative  expenses  for the  three  and  nine  months  ended
September  30, 1998 totaled  $123,863 and  $279,260,  respectively,  compared to
$100,718  and  $367,909  for the same  periods  in 1997.  The  decrease  for the
nine-month period is primarily due to lower management,  appraisal,  postage and
printing expenses.

As of September 30, 1998,  lease levels at each of the  Properties  were as
follows:  Metro Park Executive  Center - 76%; Fort Lauderdale Commerce Center -
87%; Three Financial Centre - 92%; and Quorum II Office Building - 86%.
