PART I
Item 1. Business
The registrant, Connecticut General Equity Properties-I Limited
Partnership (the "Partnership") was formed on November 14, 1983, under the
Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the State of Connecticut for the purpose
of acquiring, operating, holding for investment and disposing of industrial
and office buildings and service center space and, to a lesser extent,
residential properties. On January 31, 1984, the Partnership commenced an
offering of $50,000,000 (subject to increase up to $65,000,000) of Limited
Partnership Interests (the "Units") at $1,000 per Unit, pursuant to a
Registration Statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933
(Registration No. 2-87976).
A total of 39,236.25 Units were sold to the public prior to the
offering's termination on December 31, 1985. The holders of 12,314 Units
were admitted to the Partnership in 1984; the holders of 23,381.75 Units
were admitted in 1985; and on January 2, 1986, the holders of the 3,540.5
remaining Units were admitted to the Partnership. From the 39,236.25 Units
sold, the Partnership received net proceeds of $35,602,279. The Limited
Partners of the Partnership share in the ownership of the Partnership's
real property investments according to the number of Units held. The
Partnership is engaged solely in the business of real estate investment. A
presentation of information about industry segments is not applicable.
The General Partner of the Partnership is Connecticut General
Realty Resources, Inc.-Third (the "General Partner"), which is a wholly
owned subsidiary of CIGNA Financial Partners, Inc. ("CFP", formerly
Connecticut General Management Resources, Inc.), which is in turn a wholly
owned subsidiary of Connecticut General Corporation, which is in turn a
wholly owned subsidiary of CIGNA Holdings, Inc., which is a wholly owned
subsidiary of CIGNA Corporation, a publicly held corporation whose stock is
traded on the New York Stock Exchange.
The Partnership acquired five commercial properties (including one
owned through a joint venture) located in Missouri, Arizona, Illinois,
Florida and Massachusetts. In order to acquire the properties, the
Partnership, which purchased its properties for all cash, invested a total
of $30,803,712, paid $2,418,158 in acquisition fees and closing costs,
established reserves for improvements of $1,203,321 and established working
capital reserves of $1,177,088.
The Partnership sold Courtyard Shopping Center, located near
Chicago in Villa Park, Illinois, on January 11, 1990. On April 15, 1994,
the Partnership sold two of the six buildings, representing 42,480 of the
105,560 square feet, at Westside Industrials. Reference is made to Item 7.

The West County office market of Greater St. Louis, where Woodlands
Plaza II is located, continued to see improvement in rents and occupancy
levels throughout 1994. An easing in defense cutbacks, strong sales in the
auto industry, and high levels of new business investment have helped
stabilize the manufacturing sector in Missouri. Office absorption in St.
Louis, as well as the West County, showed significant improvement over 1993
as several major corporations moved offices into the market counting for
over 500,000 square feet of newly leased space. Of particular note, May
Department Stores and TWA moved into Greater St. Louis. Eagle Snacks, a
subsidiary of Anheuser-Busch, and Prudential Home Mortgage, the nation's
second largest home mortgage lender, moved into West County, all resulting
in positive absorption. At the same time, some corporate downsizing has
added additional available space to the market. The largest contributor is
McDonnel Douglas adding 755,000 square feet to the North County market. In
1994, the suburban market contained approximately 16,000,000 square feet,
nearly a 5% increase due to additional space being put on the market. This
represents almost 39% of the available office space in the metropolitan St.
Louis area. The West County submarket is made up of nine separate
submarkets containing a total of approximately 11,875,000 square feet.
West County has experienced positive absorption for five continuous
quarters. The occupancy rate for West County was 93.5% with large blocks
of space still scarce. The Woodlands submarket of West County, where
Woodlands Plaza II is located, is comprised of nine buildings containing
just under 400,000 square feet. This market had an occupancy average of
82% during 1994 with rental rates ranging from $14.00 - $14.75 per square
foot. Woodlands Plaza II saw occupancy rise to 92% at the close of 1994,
up from 81% at the close of 1993, with rental rates at $14.50 per square
foot.
Phoenix, Arizona continues as one of the fastest growing markets in
the country. The Black Canyon submarket of Phoenix, where Westside
Industrials is located, saw its vacancy rate decline to 11% as of the close
of 1994. Westside ended the year 80% occupied, up from the prior year.
During 1994, two of the property's six buildings were sold at above market
sales values and a third building may be sold during the second quarter of
1995. Rents in the remaining buildings may increase from $.32 per square
foot to $.33 during 1995 in response to a slight tightening in the
industrial market. Black Canyon had an inventory of 3.3 million square
feet with 380,000 square feet available, an 11.5% vacancy. Absorption was
positive in 1994 as vacancy dropped from 16% at December 31, 1993.
The Orlando metropolitan area is expected to sustain its steady
growth through the end of the decade. The Southern Orlando service center
market, where Lake Point I, II and III is located, contains approximately
3.7 million square feet of service center/warehouse space. Through 1994
construction levels remained low and vacancy rates declined. Absorption
has been positive over the last three years, totalling 130,000 square feet
for 1994. At the close of 1994 the vacancy rate in this market was 16%,
down from 21% at the close of 1993. The market is still overbuilt with a
four year supply of space at current absorption rates. The Lake Point
property ended the year 89% occupied, down from 1993's result but still
ahead of the local market average. During 1995, leases representing 27% of
the property are set to expire. Since rental rates at Lake Point are
currently over the market average, rents at the property may continue to
drop and concessions may increase in order to maintain the property's
market position. Rental rates currently range from $5.00 to $9.50 per
square foot for showroom space to $10.50 to $11.50 per square foot for
class B and C office space.
The outlook for metropolitan Boston is generally positive with job
growth resulting from diversification in the area's employment base. While
the manufacturing industry continues to downsize, the service sector-
related industry has seen modest gains. The Boston submarket where
Westford Corporate Center is located lies between Routes 128 and I-495 in
an area known as the Northwest Corridor. During 1994, the property
increased occupancy to 100%, up from 75% at the close of 1993. This was an
excellent achievement given the market still suffers from the effects of
downsizing in the high tech industry. The Northwest Corridor submarket in
which Westford directly competes currently has 10.3 million square feet of
space with an 11% vacancy rate. Absorption through the end of 1994
totalled 541,000 square feet; however, with 5.6 million square feet of
vacant space still available, the market remains soft. Rents and occupancy
levels in the market are expected to remain stagnant or see very negligible
upward movement as the market works through an estimated two to three year
supply of available R&D space.
Approximate occupancy levels for the properties on a quarterly
basis are set forth in the table in Item 2.
<PAGE>
The Partnership itself has no employees; however, the unaffiliated
property managers engaged by CIGNA Investments, Inc. ("CII", formerly CIGNA
Capital Advisers, Inc.) on behalf of the Partnership maintain on-site
staff. For a description of asset management services provided by CII and
the terms of transactions between the Partnership and affiliates of the
General Partner, see Item 13 and the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following list details gross revenues from operations for each
of the Partnership's investment properties as a percentage of the
Partnership's total gross revenues during 1992, 1993 and 1994. Included
in this calculation is the Partnership's interest in the gross revenues of
the Westford joint venture. In each year, interest income accounted for
the balance of gross revenues.

Losses from "passive activities" (which include any rental
activity) may only offset income from "passive activities". The
Partnership is engaged in passive activities and therefore investors are
subject to these rules. Investors' passive losses in excess of passive
income from all sources are suspended and are carried over to future years
when they may be deducted against passive income generated by the
Partnership in such year (including gain recognized on the sale of the
Partnership's assets) or against passive income derived by investors from
other sources. Any suspended losses remaining subsequent to Partnership
dissolution may be used by investors to offset ordinary income.
Item 2. Properties
The Partnership owns directly and through a joint venture
partnership the properties described in Item 1 herein. The lease terms on
the properties range from less than one year to ten years, with the
majority being three to five years. Most of the leases contain provisions
for one or more of the following: percentage rent, escalation and common
area maintenance recapture. Reference is made to the Notes to Financial
Statements for information regarding minimum annual future rentals under
existing leases and operating expense reimbursements. In the opinion of
the General Partner, the Partnership's properties continue to be adequately
insured.
On January 11, 1990, the Partnership sold the Courtyard Shopping
Center. Reference is made to Item 7 and the Notes to Financial Statements
for information on the sale.
Woodlands Plaza II is a three-story suburban office structure

PART II
Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Security Holder
Matters
As of December 31, 1994, there were approximately 3,934 record
holders of Units. There is no established public trading market for Units.
The General Partner will not redeem or repurchase Units.
The Revenue Act of 1987 adopted provisions which have an adverse
impact on investors in a "publicly traded partnership" ("PTP"). A PTP is a
partnership whose interests are traded on an established securities market
or readily tradable on a secondary market (or the substantial equivalent
thereof). If Registrant were classified as a PTP, (i) Registrant may be
taxed as a corporation, or (ii) income derived from an investment in
Registrant would be treated as non-passive income. In Notice 88-75, the
IRS established alternative safe harbors that allow interests in a
partnership to be transferred or redeemed in certain circumstances without
causing the partnership to be characterized as a PTP. Units of Registrant
are not listed or quoted for trading on an established securities exchange.
However, CFP will, upon request, provide a Limited Partner desiring to sell
or transfer Units with a list of secondary market firms which may provide a
means for matching potential sellers with potential buyers of Units, if
available. Frequent sales of Units utilizing these services could cause
the Registrant to be deemed a PTP. The Registrant has adopted a policy
prohibiting transfers of Units in secondary market transactions unless,
notwithstanding such transfers, Registrant will satisfy at least one of the
safe harbors. Although such a restriction could impair the ability of
investors to liquidate their investment, the service provided by CFP
described above should allow a certain number of transfers to be made in
compliance with the safe harbor. It is anticipated that such policy will
remain in effect until such time, if ever, as further clarification of the
Revenue Act of 1987 permits Registrant to lessen the scope of these
restrictions.
The Partnership declared quarterly cash distributions to limited
partners for 1994 and 1993 as set forth in the following table:
Cash Distribution per Unit
Quarter Date Paid (a) 1994 1993
1st May 15 $7.50 $ 8.10
2nd August 15 32.01 7.50
3rd November 15 5.01 6.99
4th February 15 3.12 3.66
$47.64 $26.25
[FN]
(a) Quarterly distributions are paid 45 days following the end of the
calendar quarter.
Reference is made to Item 6 for information on cash distributions
paid to limited partners during 1994, 1993, 1992, 1991, and 1990.
<PAGE>
There are no material legal restrictions upon the Partnership's
ability to make distributions in accordance with the provisions of the
Partnership Agreement. The Partnership intends to continue its policy of
making quarterly distributions of distributable cash from operations.
Reference is made to Notes to Financial Statements for a description of
payments to the State of Connecticut on behalf of limited partners and
charged to limited partner capital accounts.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources
From the $39,236,250 of gross proceeds of the
offering, after deduction of selling expenses and other offering costs, the
Partnership had $35,602,279 with which to make investments in real
properties, to pay legal fees and other costs (including acquisition fees
related to such investments), for working capital reserves and to fund
extra lease-up costs. At December 31, 1986, the Partnership had completed
its investment of funds in real estate at an aggregate cost of $30,803,712
excluding acquisition fees and expenses. The $1,203,321 reserve to fund
extra lease-up costs and capital improvements set aside from gross proceeds
was exhausted during 1989.
On January 11, 1990, Courtyard Shopping Center was
sold for an all cash sales price of $6,445,000. The Partnership had
purchased Courtyard in 1985 for $6,000,000, excluding acquisition fees and
expenses. The excess proceeds from the sale, totalling approximately
$5,900,000, were distributed to the limited partners in August 1990.
At December 31, 1994, the Partnership's cash and
cash equivalents and the Partnership's share of cash and cash equivalents
from the Westford Office Venture totalled $368,015 and $495,786,
respectively, which will be used to fund liabilities, Partnership reserves
and a distribution to partners. The Partnership paid the first quarter
1994 cash distribution of $294,275 or $7.50 per Unit on May 15, 1994,
representative of the quarter's adjusted cash from operations. The
Partnership paid the second quarter 1994 distribution of $1,255,953 or
$32.01 per Unit on August 15, 1994, consisting of $1,059,379 or $27.00 per
Unit from the sale of two buildings at the Westside property and $196,574
or $5.01 per Unit, representative of the second quarter's adjusted cash
from operations. The Partnership paid the third quarter 1994 cash
distribution of $196,574 or $5.01 per Unit on November 15, 1994,
representative of the third quarter's adjusted cash from operations. The
fourth quarter distribution of $122,417 or $3.12 per unit was paid on
February 15, 1995 from the Partnership's reserves. The Partnership's
distributions for 1995 are expected to reflect actual operating results
subject to changes in reserves for liabilities or leasing risk.
During the second quarter of 1993, a major tenant,
representing 26% of net rentable space, ceased rental payments and vacated
Westside Industrials (formerly Interpark). In July 1993, the Partnership's
property manager collected the tenant's past due rents and negotiated and
collected a lease buy-out equivalent to one year's worth of base rent. The
tenant also leased an additional 7% of space which was subleased to a third
party and the Partnership's property manager was unable to obtain an
assignment of the sublease.
On April 15, 1994, the Partnership sold two of the
six buildings, representing 42,480 of the 105,560 square feet, at Westside
Industrials. The buildings were sold to Solman Brothers Leasing, Inc. for
a gross sales price of $1,115,100. After closing costs, the Partnership
netted $1,062,000 which was distributed to limited partners on August 15,
1994. For book purposes, the property had a carrying value of
approximately $816,000 and the Partnership recorded a gain of approximately
$246,000 ($195,721 allocated to limited partners or $4.99 per Unit). For
tax purposes, the property had a carrying value of approximately $1,142,000
and the Partnership recorded a loss of approximately $80,000 or $2.00 per
Unit as a result of the sale. At the time of sale, the two buildings were
only twenty-five percent occupied as a result of a premature lease
termination by the major tenant in 1993. After the major tenant vacated
in 1993, the Partnership marketed space to prospective tenants with little
response. A potential tenant, however, did express interest in purchasing
the two buildings. After a review of the recent sales in the market and
the offer, the offer was successfully countered and the sale was closed
expeditiously. The only recent comparable sales were closer to the
airport, a more desirable location, which involved either 100% office
build-out or were to user/owner buyers who tend to pay a premium over
market, at approximately $24 per square foot.
Early in 1995, a user/owner approached the manager
for the Westside property and offered to buy vacant building #6 (12,600
square feet, representing 100% of the vacant space at December 31, 1994) at
a gross price of $29 per square foot or a total gross sales price of
$366,400. The Partnership has allowed the buyer to perform due diligence
on the property. If no problems are encountered and the potential
purchaser obtains financing, a sale could take place during the second
quarter of 1995. The sale, reflecting an above market sales price, would
allow the Partnership to convert a current vacancy and potential leasing
problem into distributable cash to the partners.
<PAGE>
Operations at Westside for 1994 produced $136,000 of
adjusted cash from operations after payment of tenant improvements and
leasing commissions, compared with $205,000 for 1993. Results are down
from 1993 as the sale of a portion of the property has reduced potential
revenues. Leasing exposure, exclusive of building #6, stands at 35,120
square feet of which 21,120 is expected to be renewed. A lease for a
tenant currently occupying 14,000 square feet (not included in the renewal
numbers) expired on January 31, 1995. The tenant, currently held over as a
month to month, has requested to stay provided additional parking is
provided. Although a lot is available from an adjacent property owner, the
cost of purchasing a lot may not be recoverable by increases in rent.
Plans for 1995 include tenant improvements, leasing commissions and capital
expenditures of approximately $55,000 to accommodate the leasing activity
and some HVAC repairs.
Lake Point's adjusted cash from operations for the
year totalled approximately $505,000 in 1994 compared with $826,000 in
1993. A significant portion of the decrease, $133,000, is attributable to
the parking area repair project estimated at the beginning of 1994 at
$75,000. Tenant improvements and leasing commissions of $90,000 for 1994
were lower than the estimate at the beginning of the year. To complete an
aggressive leasing plan for 1995, the property is to sign renewals
representing 27,102 square feet and new leasing representing 22,644 square
feet. Based on this level of leasing activity, tenant improvements and
leasing commissions would approximate $380,000. Additionally, building
improvements are budgeted at $55,000.
Woodlands Plaza generated a $9,000 adjusted cash
from operations deficit after $305,000 of leasing commissions, tenant
improvements and capital expenditures, versus a positive $161,000 for 1993.
An extensive amount of leasing during 1994 (16,608 square feet of space was
leased) increased the occupancy percentage at Woodlands to 92% at December
31, 1994. Exposure for 1995 is 24,168 square feet, or 34% of net rentable
area, including an early termination of a 10,319 square foot tenant.
Tenant finish and leasing costs for leasing planned in 1995 is estimated to
be in the $13 to $15 per square foot range. The total for the year will be
dependant on the amount of leasing completed in 1995.
Westford Corporate Center is owned by a joint
venture partnership in which the Partnership owns a 26.08% equity
investment. Adjusted cash from operations at Westford Corporate Center for
1994 was $734,000 ($191,000 attributable to the Partnership's interest)
after tenant improvements and leasing commissions of $256,000. During the
second quarter, an existing tenant expanded by an additional 10% of total
space. During the third quarter, the tenant expanded further, leasing the
remaining 15% of vacant space. The third quarter expansion had brought the
property to 100% occupancy by September 30, 1994.
The Partnership's strategy includes property sales
in two to three years for each of the Partnership's wholly owned
properties. A sale of the Westford property, 26.08% owned through a joint
venture, may have to be held until the existing tenants' leases reach
expiration and are renewed or the space is leased to new tenants in 1998 or
1999.
Results of Operations
Partnership net operating income, (total revenue
less property operating expenses, general and administrative expenses and
fees and reimbursements to affiliates and exclusive of the Partnership's
share of the joint venture), decreased in 1994 to approximately $1,024,000
versus approximately $1,246,000 in 1993.
At Lake Point, net operating income decreased
approximately $109,000 in 1994. The decrease was primarily the result of
decreased occupancy at the service center as two tenants renewed but
downsized by 8,704 square feet or 6%. Other leasing efforts at Lake Point
resulted in a net loss in the number of tenants but a net gain in terms of
leased area of 3,206 square feet or 2%.
<PAGE>
Net operating income at Woodlands Plaza decreased
1994 by approximately $52,000 from 1993, due to decreased average occupancy
and lower recoveries of operating expenses and taxes in 1994.
At Westside Industrials net operating income
decreased approximately $89,000 in 1994 as compared with 1993. The
decrease was due primarily to decreased rental income resulting from the
loss of income from a lease buy out negotiated in 1993, the loss of 7,560
occupied square feet from the sale of buildings #1 and #2 in April 1994,
and the loss of three tenants occupying 12,600 square feet in the second
half of 1994.
The majority of the balance of the net operating
income change represents decreased Partnership level out-of-pocket
expenditures coupled with increased interest income in 1994.
Results - 1994 Compared with 1993
Rental income decreased by approximately $203,000
for the year ended December 31, 1994, as compared with 1993, as a result of
the tenant changes which have decreased rental income at each of the
Partnership's properties. Rental income at Woodlands Plaza decreased
approximately $37,000 due to decreased average occupancy at the property.
In addition, during the second quarter of 1993, a tenant at Woodlands paid
a premium to extend their occupancy beyond the lease expiration date. At
Westside Industrials, rental income decreased approximately $118,000, due
to the loss of income from a lease buy-out negotiated as part of an early
termination in 1993, the loss of 7,560 occupied square feet from the sale
of buildings #1 and #2 in April 1994, and the loss of tenants occupying
12,600 square feet in the latter half of 1994. Rental income at Lake Point
decreased approximately $48,000 due to decreased average occupancy and
renewal of several tenants at lower rates in the second quarter of 1994.
Other income decreased approximately $75,000 for the
year ended December 31, 1994, as compared with the 1993. The decrease was
due primarily to lower recoveries of operating expenses and taxes at
Woodlands and Lake Point. The decrease was expected at Woodlands as base
years have taken the place of expense stops on new and renewed leases in
addition to an overall drop in expenses at the property. The decrease at
Lake Point was due to decreased average occupancy. In addition, 1993
includes a $10,000 forfeited security deposit from the buy-out agreement at
Westside.
The increase in interest income for the year ended
December 31, 1994, as compared with 1993, was the result of an increase in
the Partnership's average cash balance attributable to the net proceeds from
the sale of buildings #1 and #2 of the Westside property and an increase in
rates during the year.
Property operating expenses decreased overall as a
result of decreases at Westside and Woodlands for the year ended December
31, 1994, as compared with 1993. The total decrease at Westside was due to
lower repairs and maintenance and property tax costs resultant from the
sale of buildings #1 and #2. In addition, Westside's 1993 results included
plumbing expenses and parking lot lighting. The decrease was partially
offset by exterior painting expenditures at Westside incurred in 1994. The
decrease at Woodlands was attributable to nonrecurring parking lot repairs
made during 1993 and decreased utility usage as a result of occupancy
changes in 1994. At Lake Point, real estate taxes increased in 1994 as a
result of an increase in the assessment value and millage rate.
Depreciation and amortization decreased for the year
ended December 31, 1994, as compared with 1993, due to the expiration of
the useful lives of certain assets.
In 1994 the Partnership recorded permanent
impairment losses relative to Woodlands Plaza and Westside due to estimated
future cash flow declines reflecting a change in the estimated holding
period of the Woodlands property and increased capital expenditures and
leasing costs at Westside.
The improvement in operating results by the joint
venture property for the year ended December 31, 1994, as compared with
1993, was due to the new tenant which took occupancy in October 1993 and
its subsequent expansions in April and September 1994.
<PAGE>
The gain on sale was the result of the sale of
buildings #1 and #2 of the Westside property in April 1994.
Results - 1993 Compared with 1992
Rental income increased by approximately $32,000,
net, for the year ended December 31, 1993, as compared with 1992, as a
result of the tenant changes at each of the Partnership's properties. Lake
Point and Westside increases were offset by a decrease at Woodlands.
Other income decreased for the year ended December
31, 1993, as compared to 1992, due to lower recoveries of operating
expenses and taxes at Woodlands Plaza of approximately $78,000. The
decrease was expected as base years have taken the place of expense stops
on new and renewed leases in addition to an overall drop in expenses at the
property. Increased occupancy at Lake Point and Westside resulted in an
approximately $8,000 and $12,000 increase in other income, respectively.
Included in other income is a $10,000 security deposit forfeiture from a
vacating tenant at Westside.
The decrease in property operating expenses for the
year ended December 31, 1993, as compared with 1992, was due to lower tax
expense, common area maintenance, repairs and tenant leasing costs at
Woodlands Plaza. During the first quarter, Woodlands received a refund as
a result of a 1990-1991 property tax appeal. Maintenance costs paid to the
business park are down as 1992's results included parking lot resurfacing.
The cleaning contract cost was also lower and some incidental lease
signing costs were expensed during 1992.
The decrease in the general and administrative
expense for the year ended December 31, 1993, as compared with 1992, was
due to decreased Partnership level allocated expenses.
Partnership management fees were higher for the year
ended December 31, 1993, as compared with the prior year, as 1992 adjusted
cash was affected by leasing commissions relative to the major tenant
taking occupancy at Westford during the year and higher capital
improvements at Woodlands Plaza.
Depreciation decreased for the year ended December
31, 1993, as compared with 1992, due to the permanent impairment losses
recorded in the fourth quarter of 1992, effectively lowering the
depreciable asset base. In addition, the expiration of the useful lives of
certain assets further affected depreciation.
The improvement in operating results by the joint
venture property for the year ended December 31, 1993, as compared with
1992, was due to the move in of a major tenant at the end of the first
quarter of 1992.
Inflation
With inflation at a low rate during 1994, 1993, and
1992, the effect of inflation and changing prices on current revenue and
income from operations has been minimal.
Any significant inflation in future periods may
increase rental rates (from leases to new tenants or renewals of leases to
existing tenants) assuming no major changes in market conditions. At the
same time, it is anticipated that property operating expenses will be
similarly affected. Assuming no major changes in occupancy levels,
increases in rental income are expected to cover inflation driven increases
in the cost of operating the properties and in property taxes.
Inflation may also contribute to capital
appreciation of the Partnership's investment properties over a period of
time as rental rates and replacement costs of properties increase.
The recapture and escalation clauses that exist on
certain of the leases at each of the Partnership's remaining four
properties offer the Partnership some protection against inflation.
Escalation clauses offset the increases in operating expenses under
inflation. As operating expenses increase due to inflation so will the
escalation revenues due to the Partnership, offsetting, at least in part,
the increase in total expenses. The recapture provisions protect the
Partnership from rising costs of common area maintenance as well as taxes
and other operating expenses by passing these increases through, at least
partially, to the lessees.

Notes to Financial Statements
1. Organization and Basis of Accounting
The General Partner of Connecticut General Equity Properties - I
Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") is Connecticut General Realty
Resources, Inc. - Third (the "General Partner"), an indirect, wholly owned
subsidiary of CIGNA Corporation.
The Partnership's records are maintained on the accrual basis of
accounting for financial reporting purposes and are adjusted for federal
income tax reporting. The net effect of the adjustments as of December 31,
1994, 1993 and 1992, principally relating to the classification of
syndication costs, differences in depreciation methods and permanent
impairment losses, are summarized as follows:

</TABLE>
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a) Property and Improvements: Property and improvements are carried
at cost less accumulated depreciation. The cost represents the
initial purchase price, subsequent capitalized costs and
adjustments, including certain acquisition expenses and permanent
impairment losses. Amounts received under master lease agreements
have been treated as a reduction of the related property's purchase
price. Depreciation on the property and improvements is calculated
on the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of
buildings and land improvements (15 to 31.5 years) and tenant
improvements (the respective lease terms). Maintenance and repair
expenses are charged to operations as incurred.
As a result of inherent changes in market values of real estate
property and improvements, the Partnership reviews potential
impairment annually. The undiscounted future cash flows for each
property, as estimated by the Partnership, is compared to the
carrying value. If the carrying value is greater than the sum of
the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, and deemed permanent,
an impairment loss is recorded.
In November 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a
Proposed Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets". Under the Proposed
Statement, entities should continue to compare the sum of the
expected undiscounted future net cash flows to the carrying amount
of the asset. If an impairment exists, the loss shall be measured
as the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the
fair value of the asset. Fair value of the asset shall be measured
by its market value if an active market for that asset exists. If
no market price is available, a forecast of expected discounted
future net cash flows should be used. The discount rate applied
should be commensurate with the risk involved. The effective date
of a final statement is fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1995.
The effect of the Proposed Statement on the financial position and
results of operations of the Partnership in the year of adoption
can not be reasonably estimated.
<PAGE>
b) Equity Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Venture: The Partnership
uses the equity method of accounting with respect to it's interest
in the Westford Office Venture, a joint venture partnership with an
affiliated limited partnership.
c) Cash and Cash Equivalents: Short-term investments with a maturity
of three months or less at the time of purchase are generally
reported as cash equivalents.
d) Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets: Prepaid expenses at December
31, 1994, consist of prepaid insurance costs at each property.
Other assets at December 31, 1994, include a receivable of $56,480
from a tenant at Lake Point for reimbursement of tenant improvement
costs.
e) Deferred Charges: Deferred charges consist of leasing commissions
and rental concessions, which are being amortized using the
straight-line method over the respective lease terms.
f) Partner's Capital: Offering costs comprised of sales commissions
and other issuance expenses have been charged to the partners'
capital accounts as incurred.
g) Income Taxes: No provision for income taxes has been made as the
liability for such taxes is that of the partners rather than the
Partnership.
h) Basis of Presentation: Certain amounts in the 1992 and 1993
Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the 1994
presentation.
3. Investment Properties
At December 31, 1994, the Partnership owned three commercial
properties directly and a 26.08% interest in another through a joint
venture with an affiliated partnership. The properties are located in
Missouri, Arizona, Florida and Massachusetts. At December 31, 1994, the
properties were operating with leases in effect generally for a term of
three to ten years. No mortgage debt was incurred in the purchase of the
Partnership's properties.
On January 11, 1990, the Partnership sold the Courtyard Shopping
Center for $6,445,363. The carrying value of the center at the time of
sale was $5,666,874. After deducting closing costs of $233,808, the
Partnership recorded a gain on the sale of $544,681.
With respect to the Partnership's accounting policy for impairment
of assets, the Partnership recognized permanent impairment of asset losses
in 1994 and 1992. In 1994, the Partnership recorded impairments of
$600,000 and $235,000 relative to Woodlands Plaza and Westside,
respectively. In 1994, the impairment loss for Westside was the result of
an anticipated decline in estimated future cash flow resulting from
budgeted increases in capital expenditures and leasing costs to cure
current and future vacancies. For Woodlands Plaza, the estimated holding
period of the property was shortened. In 1992, the Partnership recorded
impairments of $1,100,000 and $700,000 relative to Woodlands Plaza and
Westside, respectively. Additionally, in 1992, the Partnership recorded a
permanent impairment of asset loss relative to its joint venture interest
in Westford Corporate Center of $991,040. In 1992, estimated future cash flows
declined at Woodlands and Westside reflecting changes in estimated potential
revenue from future leasing. As a result of the oversupply of space and the
continued downward pressure on rental rates in the markets in which these
properties operate, expected future rental rates would be renewed and/or
negotiated to lower rates. At Westford, the estimated holding period was
reduced.
<PAGE>
4. Venture Agreement
The Partnership has a 26.08% interest in the Westford Office
Venture, which owns the Westford Corporate Center, an office and
research/development facility. Westford Office Venture is a joint venture
between the Partnership and CIGNA Income Realty-I Limited Partnership, an
affiliated limited partnership.
Summary financial information for the Westford Office Venture as of
and for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 follows:

8. Partners' Capital
During 1991, the State of Connecticut enacted new income tax
legislation, a part of which affects partnerships. The portfolio income
allocations made by the Partnership to the limited partners are considered
Connecticut based income and subject to Connecticut tax. On April 13,
1994, the Partnership paid the tax due on its 1993 Form CT-G State of
<PAGE>
CONNECTICUT GENERAL EQUITY PROPERTIES - I LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
(a Connecticut limited partnership)
Notes to Financial Statements - Continued
Connecticut Group Income Tax Return. The Partnership has elected to pay
the tax due on the limited partners' share of portfolio income and,
therefore, paid tax due of $324 directly to the State of Connecticut. The
Partnership also accrued the 1994 estimated payment of $561 as of December
31, 1994. These amounts were treated as reductions of partners' capital
and reported as distributions in the accompanying financial statements.
9. Sale of Investment Property
Westside Industrials consisted of six one-story industrial warehouse
buildings with total square footage of 105,560. On April 15, 1994, the
Partnership sold buildings #1 and #2 (totalling 42,480 square feet) of
Westside Industrials for $1,115,100. The net proceeds to the Partnership
were $1,062,000 after deducting closing costs. The two buildings had a
carrying value of $816,127 and the Partnership recorded a gain of $245,873.
10. Partnership Agreement
Pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement, net income or
loss and cash distributions from operations, as well as any net losses
arising from the sale or disposition of investment properties are to be
allocated 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the Limited Partners. Cash
distributions are allocated to the Partners following the receipt by an
affiliate of the General Partner of a partnership management fee of 9% of
"Adjusted Cash From Operations", as defined in the Partnership Agreement.
Distributable cash from the sale or disposition of investment
properties is to be generally allocated in the following order:
- To the Limited Partners up to the amount of their Original
Invested Capital.
- To the Limited Partners in an amount which, when added to
prior distributions from operations, equals a 10% cumulative
non-compounded return on their Adjusted Invested Capital.
- To an affiliate of the General Partner as a Subordinated
Disposition Fee.
- With respect to the remainder, 85% to the Limited Partners and
15% to the General Partner.
Net income from the sale or disposition of investment properties
is to be generally allocated as follows:
- To each Partner having a deficit balance in his capital
account in the same ratio as such deficit balance bears to the
aggregate of deficit balances of all Partners.
- To the Partners in an amount equal to that distributed to them
in respect of such sale or disposition.
- With respect to the remainder, 99% to the Limited Partners and
1% to the General partner.

CONNECTICUT GENERAL EQUITY PROPERTIES - I LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
Unconsolidated Venture
Westford Office Venture
Notes to Financial Statements
1. Organization
Westford Office Venture (the "Venture") is a joint venture
partnership in which Connecticut General Equity Properties - I Limited
Partnership ("CGEP") owns a 26.08 percent direct interest. The remaining
73.92 percent interest is held by CIGNA Income Realty - I Limited
Partnership ("CIR"), an affiliated limited partnership.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a) Property and Improvements: Property and improvements is carried at
cost less accumulated depreciation. The cost represents the
initial purchase price, subsequent capitalized costs and
adjustments, including certain acquisition expenses and permanent
impairment loss. Amounts received under the master lease agreement
from the seller of the Westford Corporate Center were treated as a
reduction of the property purchase price. Depreciation on property
and improvements is calculated on the straight-line method based on
the estimated useful lives of buildings and improvements (15 to
31.5 years) and tenant improvements (the respective lease terms).
Maintenance and repair expenses are charged to operations as
incurred.
As a result of inherent changes in market values of real property,
the Partnership reviews potential impairment annually. The
undiscounted future cash flows for each property, as estimated by
the Partnership, is compared to the carrying value. If the
carrying value is greater than the sum of the estimated future
undiscounted cash flows, and deemed permanent, an impairment loss
is recognized currently.
In November 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a
Proposed Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets". Under the Proposed
Statement, entities should continue to compare the sum of the
expected undiscounted future net cash flows to the carrying amount
of the asset. If an impairment exists, the loss shall be measured
as the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the
fair value of the asset. Fair value of the asset shall be measured
by its market value if an active market for that asset exists. If
no market price is available, a forecast of expected discounted
future net cash flows should be used. The discount rate applied
should be commensurate with the risk involved. The effective date
of a final statement is fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1995.
b) Cash and Cash Equivalents: Short-term investments with a maturity
of three months or less at the time of purchase are generally
reported as cash equivalents.
c) Deferred Charges: Deferred charges consist of leasing costs which
are amortized using the straight-line method over the respective
lease terms.
d) Income Taxes: No provision for income taxes has been made as the
liability for such taxes is that of the limited partners of the
partnership involved in the venture.
e) Basis of Presentation: Certain amounts in the 1992 and 1993
Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the 1994
presentation.

The Venture purchased Westford Corporate Center located in
Westford, Massachusetts, without incurring any long-term debt.

1999 331,597
Thereafter --
In 1994 and 1993, leases representing 50% and 25%, respectively, of
the space provided for the tenant to pay its pro rata share of increases in
operating expenses over base period amounts. The remaining tenant,
representing 50% of the space, is operating under a gross lease. During
1994, 1993 and 1992 the Venture earned $288,888, $130,370, and $63,173,
respectively, under such provisions.
6. Transactions with Affiliates
An affiliate of the venturers provided investment property
acquisition services in 1986. Fees for such services totalled
approximately $1,000,000 in 1986 of which $724,672 will be payable from
adjusted cash from operations after priority distributions to the partners,
or if necessary, from sales proceeds.
During 1994, 1993 and 1992 CIGNA Investments, Inc. provided
property management services at Westford Corporate Center for fees
calculated at 6% of gross property revenues totalling $101,297, $71,804,
and $57,356, respectively. For the years ended 1994, 1993 and 1992 $50,646,
$35,949, and $28,408 of such fees were paid to the unaffiliated on-site
property manager.
<PAGE>
7. Joint Venture Agreement
Pursuant to the Joint Venture Agreement, results of operations,
including net income or loss and cash distributions, shall generally be
allocated to the venturers in proportion to their percentage capital
contributions. However, certain acquisition-related expenses incurred by
each venture partner in acquiring its interest in the Venture have been
recorded in the Venture's books. The related expense or depreciation of
such amounts has been allocated to the respective venture partner who
incurred the expense.
Net income and distributable cash from the sale or disposition of
property shall be allocated in the following order:
- To the venturers having negative capital account balances pro
rata in proportion to their negative capital accounts;
- To the venturers in an amount necessary so that the capital
account balances of the venturers shall be in proportion to their
respective percentage interests.

principal balance thereof with this sum to be credited towards the
total purchase price and to apply towards the cash sum required to be
paid through escrow or require Seller to remove said lien for
assessments at the time of closing.
7. Purchaser reserves the right to take title to the subject property in
a name or assignee other than shown above; provided, however, that

Contract shall be deemed cancelled and Purchaser shall be entitled to
return of deposit. If Purchaser fails to give written notice of
dissatisfaction by 5:00 P.M. of the first-referenced period, then
Purchaser's right to object to such matters shall be deemed waived and
earnest money will not be refundable.

and the date of closing of escrow, by reason of fire, vandalism, flood,
earthquake or act of God, the risk of loss shall be on the Seller,

cost of repairing all such loss or damage, and (b) Seller may elect to

and otherwise in the amount of 53,100.00 of the accepted sales
price. This commission is earned as of the close of escrow. Sale
proceeds sufficient to pay the commission are hereby assigned to
Broker, and Escrow Holder is hereby instructed to pay said commission
to Broker out of Seller's proceeds at the close of escrow. This
instruction shall not be withdrawn or modified without Broker's

the earnest money deposit an amount necessary to advance the legal
fees and costs of bringing the interpleader action. The amount of
deposit remaining after advancing those costs shall be interpleaded
into court in accordance with state law. Purchaser and Seller further
agree that the defaulting party shall pay any further court costs and
reasonable attorney's fees incurred by Broker in bringing or being
involved in such action.

1445, requires that every purchaser of U.S. real property must, unless

might be applicable are: (a) seller provides purchaser with an
affidavit under penalty of perjury, that seller is not a "foreign
person", as defined in FIRPTA, or (b) Seller provides purchaser with a
"qualifying statement", as defined in FIRPTA, issued by the Internal
Revenue Service. Seller and Purchaser agree to execute and deliver as
appropriate, any instrument, affidavit and statement, and to perform
any acts reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of FIRPTA and
regulations promulgated thereunder.

ADDENDUM A
1. Conveyance of Property - The property shall be conveyed to Purchaser at
the Closing, with no exception shown on the title policy except as
approved by Purchaser. However, delivery of a title insurance policy
fully acceptable to Purchaser shall be only a condition of Closing and
shall not be a covenant of Seller. Seller shall be under no obligation
to clear any encumbrances from the title (except for monetary liens
other than liens for current taxes not yet due) or to create any
encumbrance on, or for the benefit of, the Property. If Seller does
not deliver title in a form fully acceptable to Purchaser, then
Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy shall be to terminate the
Purchase Agreement and have the Deposit returned. If Purchaser chooses
not to terminate the Purchase Agreement, then Purchaser shall accept
such title as Seller delivers without deduction of the Purchase Price.
2. Expenses - Each party shall bear its own legal expenses in connection
with this transaction. Purchaser shall pay all standard coverage title
insurance costs, Purchaser shall pay the costs for a property survey
and a Phase I Environmental Report.
3. Physical Condition of the Property - Purchaser will acquire the
Property "as is", with no repairs or improvements required of Seller.
4. Contingency - This Purchase Contract is contingent upon Seller's
Investment Committee approval. Such approval shall be in writing and
furnished to Escrow Agent within fifteen (15) days after the Purchaser
has waived all their contingencies stated herein in writing to Seller.
If Seller's Investment Committee does not approve of this transaction
within the fifteen (15) day period then Seller shall reimburse
Purchaser for the actual costs of the Preliminary Title Report, Phase I
Environmental Report and the Property Survey and this purchase contract
will become null and void.
