Note 1:
The attached interim financial  statements include all adjustments which are, in
the opinion of management,  necessary to a fair statement of the results for the
period presented.

Users  of  these  interim  financial  statements  should  refer  to the  audited
financial  statements  for the year  ended  December  31,  1997  for a  complete
disclosure  of  significant  accounting  policies and practices and other detail
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements.

Long-lived  assets are reviewed  for  impairment  whenever  events or changes in
circumstatnces indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.  If the
sum of the  expected  future  undiscounted  cash flows is less than the carrying
amount of the asset, a loss is recognized  for the  difference  between the fair
value and the carrying value of the asset.

In accordance  with the  partnership  agreement,  the following  information  is
presented  related to fees paid to the General  Partners or  affiliates  for the
period.

   Property Management Fees                 $122,831

In February,  1991 the Partnership  terminated its franchise and its affiliation
with Super 8 Motels, Inc. and began operating as a Holiday Inn. Accordingly,  no
franchise or  advertising  fees have been paid to the General  Partners or their
affiliates for the period.

Partnership  management  fees  and  subordinated  incentive   distributions  are
contingent  in nature  and none have been  accrued or paid  during  the  current
period.

There are certain administrative  expenses allocated between the Partnership and
other  partnerships  managed by the General  Partner and its  affiliates.  These
expenses,  which are based on usage,  are telephone,  data  processing,  rent of
administrative office and administrative salaries.  Management believes that the
methods used to allocate shared administrative expenses are accurate.

The following  additional material contingencies  are required to be restated in
interim reports under federal securities law:  None.

                       MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                 OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1998

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         As of  September  30,  1998,  the  Partnership  has  current  assets of
$525,681 and current  liabilities of $224,186  creating an operating  reserve of
$301,495. Distributions to the limited partners have been suspended to replenish
the operating reserves.

         The Partnership expended for renovations and replacements $71,679 which
is equal to 3.5% of guest room revenue (of which $20,173 was capitalized) during
the period covered by this report.  Included in these  expenditures  was $15,173
for guest room carpet replacement, $5,000 for new faces on the restaurant signs,
$6,660 for replacement  air-conditioners,  $5,200 for pool deck repairs,  $5,491
for replacement chairs and $18,915 for roof repairs.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The following is a comparison  of operating  results for the nine month
periods ended September 30, 1998 and September 30, 1997.

         Total income decreased  $31,735 or 1.3%. Hotel room revenues  increased
$132,102 or 6.9%, due to a slight increase in guest room occupancy from 72.0% in
1997 to 73.0% in 1998 and an increase  in the  average  room rate from $66.23 in
1997 to $69.88 in 1998. The $164,269 or 33.0% decrease in restaurant revenue was
due to a reduction in the restaurant  hours of operations from 16 hours daily to
7 hours daily.

         Total  expenditures  decreased  $130,222 or 5.4%.  Restaurant  expenses
decreased  $226,844 or 34.7%.  This decrease is associated  with the decrease in
restaurant hours of operation.  Hotel operating  expenses  increased  $64,609 or
4.7%.  Maintenance and repair  expenses  increased due to Holiday Inn inspection
standards   requirements.   Allocated  expenses  increased  due  to  legal  fees
associated with the proposed sale of the hotel.

FUTURE TRENDS

         The General Partners expect the hotel's  performance  during 1998 to be
substantially   unchanged  from  1997.  Changes  in  restaurant   personnel  and
procedures  are  expected to continue  bringing  improved  results.  The General
Partners  expect that these  changes  will result in a reduction in the net loss
experienced by the restaurant operation.

         As discussed in more detail in the  following  section  labeled  "Legal
Proceedings,"  the General Partners have agreed to offer the motels for sale and
to present  any offer that equal or exceeds 75% of the  appraised  value for the
approval of the Limited Partners.

                 OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
                         SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 (Continued)

         In 1996 the computers used by the  Partnership at the Managing  General
Partner's  offices in Sacramento  were  updated.  In the process of updating its
hardware and software,  the Managing  General  Partner  eliminated any potential
Year 2000  problem  with  respect to such  computers.  Similarly,  the  Managing
General  Partner does not  anticipate  any  material  Year 2000 problem with the
computers in use at the motel. The Managing General Partner has not investigated
and does not know whether any Year 2000  problems may arise from its third party
vendors.  Because  the  motel  is  a  "budget"  motel,  the  Partnership's  most
significant  vendors are its utility  providers and banks. To the extent banking
services,  utility  services and other goods and services are  unavailable  as a
result of Year 2000  problems  with the  computer  systems  of such  vendors  or
otherwise,  the  ability of the  Partnership  to conduct  business at its motels
would be compromised. No contingency plans have been developed in this regard.

         In the opinion of management,  these financial  statements  reflect all
adjustments  which were necessary to a fair statement of results for the interim
periods presented. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

         On October 27, 1997 a complaint was filed in the United States District
Court,  Eastern  District of California by the registrant,  the Managing General
Partner, and four other limited partnerships (together with the registrant,  the
"Partnerships")  as to which the  Managing  General  Partner  serves as  general
partner (i.e.,  Super 8 Motels,  Ltd.,  Super 8 Motels II, Ltd.,  Super 8 Motels
III, Ltd. and Super 8 Economy  Lodging IV, Ltd.),  as plaintiffs.  The complaint
named as defendants  Everest/Madison  Investors, LLC, Everest Lodging Investors,
LLC, Everest Properties, LLC, Everest Partners, LLC, Everest Properties II, LLC,
Everest  Properties,  Inc., W. Robert  Kohorst,  David I. Lesser,  The Blackacre
Capital Group,  L.P.,  Blackacre Capital  Management  Corp.,  Jeffrey B. Citron,
Ronald J.  Kravit,  and  Stephen P.  Enquist ( the  "Everest  Defendants").  The
factual basis underlying the plaintiffs'  causes of actions  pertained to tender
offers  directed  by  certain  of the  defendants  to  limited  partners  of the
Partnerships,  and to  indications of interest made by certain of the defendants
in purchasing  the property of the  Partnerships.  The  complaint  requested the
following  relief:  (i) a declaration  that each of the  defendants had violated
Sections  13(d),  14(d) and 14(e) of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934 (the
"Exchange Act"), and the rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and
Exchange  Commission  thereunder;   (ii)  a  declaration  that  certain  of  the
defendants  had  violated  Section  15(a) of the  Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder; (iii) an order permanently enjoining the defendants from
(a)  soliciting  tenders  of  or  accepting  for  purchase   securities  of  the
Partnerships,  (b)  exercising  any voting  rights  attendant to the  securities
already acquired, (c) soliciting proxies, and (d) violating Sections 13 or 14 of
the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations  promulgated  thereunder;  (iv) an
order enjoining  certain of the defendants  from violating  Section 15(a) of the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder;  (v) an order
directing  certain of the defendants to offer to each person who sold securities
to such  defendants the right to rescind such sale; and (vi) a declaration  that
the  Partnerships  need not provide to the defendants a list of limited partners
in the Partnerships or any other information  respecting the Partnerships  which
is not publicly available.

         On October 28, 1997 a complaint was filed in the Superior  Court of the
State of California,  Sacramento  County by Everest Lodging  Investors,  LLC and
Everest/Madison  Investors,  LLC, as plaintiffs,  against  Philip B.  Grotewohl,
Grotewohl Management Services,  Inc., Kenneth M. Sanders,  Robert J. Dana, Borel
Associates,  and BWC  Incorporated,  as  defendants,  and the  Partnerships,  as
nominal defendants.  The factual basis underlying the causes of action pertained
to the  receipt  by the  defendants  of  franchise  fees  and  reimbursement  of
expenses,  the  indications of interest made by the plaintiffs in purchasing the
properties of the nominal defendants,  and the alleged refusal of the defendants
to provide  information  required by the terms of the Partnerships'  partnership
agreements and California law. The complaint requested the following relief: (i)
a  declaration  that the action has a proper  derivative  action;  (ii) an order
requiring the defendants to discharge their fiduciary duties to the Partnerships
and to enjoin them from breaching their fiduciary duties;  (iii) disgorgement of
certain profits; (iv) appointment of a receiver; and (v) an award for damages in
an amount to be determined.

                     PART II. OTHER INFORMATION (Continued)


         On February 20, 1998, the parties  entered into a settlement  agreement
and both of the above  complaints were  dismissed.  Pursuant to the terms of the
settlement  agreement,  among other  things,  the General  Partner has agreed to
proceed with the marketing for sale of the properties of the Partnerships, if by
June 30,  1998,  it receives an offer to purchase one or more  properties  for a
cash price equal to 75% or more of the appraised value. In addition, the General
Partner has agreed to submit the offer for  approval to the limited  partners as
required by the  partnership  agreements and applicable law. The General Partner
has also  agreed  that upon the sale of one or more  properties,  to  distribute
promptly  the proceeds of the sale after  payment of payables  and  retention of
reserves  to pay  anticipated  expenses.  The Everest  Defendants  agreed not to
generally  solicit the acquisition of any additional  units of the  Partnerships
without first filing  necessary  documents  with the SEC. Under the terms of the
settlement  agreement,  the  Partnerships  have agreed to reimburse  the Everest
Defendants for certain costs not to exceed  $60,000,  to be allocated  among the
Partnerships.  Of this amount,  the Partnership will pay  approximately  $12,000
during the year covered by this report.
