                                     PART I

Item 1.  Business

                  a.     General Development of Business

                  Diversified  Historic  Investors  ("Registrant")  is a limited
partnership  formed in 1984 under the Pennsylvania  Uniform Limited  Partnership
Act. As of December 31,  1995,  Registrant  had  outstanding  11,609.6  units of
limited partnership interest (the "Units").

                  Registrant is presently in its operating  stage. It originally
owned eight properties or interests  therein.  Interests in five properties have
been  lost  through  foreclosure.  See  Item 2.  Properties,  for a  description
thereof. It currently owns three properties.  For a discussion of the operations
of the Registrant, See Part II, Item 7.Management's Discussion  and  Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

                  The  following  is  a  summary  of  significant   transactions
involving the Registrant's interests:

                  Due to  insufficient  cash  flow  at  Centre  Park  Associates
("CPA") from the property and the utilization of all remaining cash reserves, on
June 1, 1994 the Registrant  ceased making debt service  payments on the revenue
bonds.  As a  result,  the  guarantor  of the  bonds  had to fund  interest  and
principal payments in the amount of $35,451.  The guarantor declared an Event of
Default under the loan documents and on August 19, 1994, the guarantor exercised
its option to purchase the bonds and in accordance with the guarantor agreement,
raised the  interest  rate on such bonds to prime plus 2%. On October 31,  1994,
the guarantor instituted legal proceedings against CPA. The Registrant's attempt
to negotiate the terms of the loan were  unsuccessful  and on July 11, 1995, CPA
filed a reorganization  petition  pursuant to Chapter 11 of the U.S.  Bankruptcy
Code.  After  determining  that  reorganization  was not  feasible  for CPA, the
bankruptcy  was dismissed  and, on July 28, 1995,  the lender  foreclosed on the
property.

                  b.     Financial Information about Industry Segments

                         The Registrant operates in one industry segment.

                  c.     Narrative Description of Business

                         Registrant  is in the business of  operating,  holding,
selling, exchanging and otherwise dealing in and with real properties containing
improvements which are "Certified Historic  Structures," as such term is defined
in the  Internal  Revenue Code (the  "Code"),  for use as  apartments,  offices,
hotels and commercial spaces, or any combination  thereof, or low income housing
eligible for the tax credit  provided by Section 42 of the Code,  and such other
uses as the Registrant's general partner may deem appropriate.

                                       -2-
<PAGE>

                         Since the  Registrant's  inception,  all the properties
acquired  either by the Registrant,  or the subsidiary  partnerships in which it
has an interest,  have been  rehabilitated and certified as Historic  Structures
and  have  received  the  related  Investment  Tax  Credit.  Each  of the  three
properties currently owned by the Registrant are held for rental operations.  At
this time it is anticipated that all the properties will continue to be held for
this  purpose.  At such time as real  property  values  begin to  increase,  the
Registrant will re-evaluate its investment strategy regarding the properties.

                         As  of  December  31,  1995,   Registrant  owned  three
properties  located in Pennsylvania.  In total, the three properties  contain 55
apartment units and 4,500 square feet ("sf") of commercial space. As of December
31, 1995,  45 of the  apartment  units were under lease at monthly  rental rates
ranging from $550 to $1,230.  In addition,  1,700 sf of the commercial space was
under lease at an annual  rate of $13.85 per sf.  Rental of the  apartments  and
commercial space is not expected to be seasonal.  For further  discussion of the
properties, see Item 2. Properties.

                         The  Registrant  is  affected  by  and  subject  to the
general  competitive  conditions of the  residential  and commercial real estate
industries.  As a result of the  overbuilding  that occurred in the 1980's,  the
competition  for both  residential  and  commercial  tenants in the local market
where the Registrant's  properties are located is generally strong. As a result,
the Registrant is forced to keep its rent levels  competitively  low in order to
maintain  moderate to high occupancy levels.  The properties  currently owned by
the  Registrant  are  all  located  in the  Olde  City  Historic  District  (the
"District") in  Philadelphia,  Pennsylvania  in which there are several  similar
historically certified rehabilitated buildings. The Registrant's main competitor
in this market is  Historic  Landmarks  for Living  which owns  several  similar
residential  buildings in the  District.  In the  District,  the  apartment  and
commercial  market  remains  stable  and  new  construction   remains  virtually
nonexistent  although the  availability  of favorable  home financing has placed
pressure on the rental tenant base.

                         Registrant  has no employees.  Registrant's  activities
are overseen by Brandywine  Construction & Management,  Inc.,  ("BCMI"),  a real
estate management firm.

                  d. Financial Information About Foreign and Domestic Operations
and Export Sales.

                         See  Item 8.  Financial  Statements  and  Supplementary
Data.

Item 2.  Properties

                  As of the date hereof,  Registrant owned three properties,  or
interests therein.  A summary  description of each property held at December 31,
1995 is given below.

                  a. The Smythe  Stores  Condominium  Complex - consists of five
adjoining  buildings  located at 101-111 Arch Street,  in the Olde City Historic

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

District (the "District") of Philadelphia,  Pennsylvania. In November, 1984, the
Registrant  acquired 20  residential  units of the complex's 49 units and is the
100% equity owner of these units.  The acquisition and  rehabilitation  cost was
$4,056,375  ($171 per sf)  funded  by the  equity  contribution  and a series of
condominium mortgages with an original combined principal balance of $2,440,000.
The combined principal balance at December 31, 1995 is $2,440,000. Each mortgage
bears interest at the National Average Mortgage Contract rate plus 1-1/2% (8.98%
at December 31, 1995).  Scheduled  interest  payments were made through April 1,
1988. At that time, due to insufficient  cash flow, the Registrant ceased making
payments. In 1990, the lender was placed in receivership by the Resolution Trust
Corporation ("RTC"). The two entities which purchased the mortgages from the RTC
each filed complaints for foreclosure due to nonpayment, foreclosure proceedings
on nine units were filed in the Court of Common  Pleas,  Philadelphia  County in
the matter of Bruin Holdings,  Inc. ("Bruin") v. Diversified  Historic Investors
and  foreclosure  proceedings  on eleven units were filed in the Court of Common
Pleas,  Philadelphia  County  in the  matter  of  EMC  Mortgage  Corporation  v.
Diversified Historic Investors.  In March 1996, the Bruin cases were settled and
the nine  mortgages were sold. The Registrant is in the process of negotiating a
modification  with the new holder of the nine mortgages.  It is anticipated that
the new terms will call for monthly  payments of interest in an amount  equal to
net operating income,  with a minimum monthly payment. A hearing date is set for
mid-April 1996 in the EMC Mortgage Corporation cases. The Registrant is pursuing
settlement  negotiations;  however if no settlement  is reached,  it is expected
that the eleven  associated  units will be foreclosed by the lender.  Should the
foreclosure  occur,  it is not  expected  to have a  significant  impact  on the
Registrant's liquidity, as these units have generated little or no positive cash
flow.  All twenty  units are  managed  by BCMI.  As of  December  31,  1995,  17
apartment units were under lease (85%) at monthly rental rates ranging from $685
to $1,230.

                     All leases are renewable,  one-year  leases.  The occupancy
for the previous four years was 82% for 1994, 74% for 1993, 77% for 1992 and 90%
for 1991. The monthly rental range has been  approximately  the same since 1991.
For tax purposes,  this  property has a federal tax basis of  $4,098,126  and is
depreciated using the straight-line method with a useful life of 27.5 years. The
annual real  estate  taxes are  $38,094  which is based on an assessed  value of
$460,960 taxed at a rate of $8.264 per $100. No one tenant  occupies ten percent
or more of the  Registrant's  units.  It is the opinion of the management of the
Registrant that the property is adequately covered by insurance.

                  b. The Third  Quarter  Apartments - consists of 17  apartments
located in the  District  at 47 North  Third  Street.  In  November,  1984,  the
Registrant  acquired the building and is the 100% equity owner of the  property.
The property was acquired and rehabilitated for $1,725,000 ($102 per sf), funded
by the equity  contribution and two mortgage loans of $860,000 and $140,000.  On
June 1, 1993,  the first  mortgage was modified.  The terms of the  modification
include  the  addition  of all  accrued  and unpaid  interest  to the  principal
balance, changing the due date to 1998 and revising the payment terms. The first
mortgage has a principal  balance at December 31, 1995 of  $1,192,411  and bears
interest at 12%.  The new payment  terms  require  monthly  payments of interest
equal to net operating income,  with a minimum of $6,833 per month. The property

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

has not  generated  sufficient  cash flow to satisfy  the  minimum  requirement;
however,  the loan has not been  declared  in  default.  The  second  note has a
principal  balance of $138,444,  bears  interest at 15%, and was due in 1992. In
1991, the Registrant stopped making scheduled  mortgage  payments.  No notice of
default has yet been received from the lender.  The property is managed by BCMI.
As of  December  31,  1995,  15 of the units were under  lease  (88%) at monthly
rental rates ranging from $550 to $975.

                     All leases are renewable,  one-year  leases.  The occupancy
for the previous four years was 95% for 1994, 86% for 1993, 77% for 1992 and 82%
for 1991. The monthly rental range has been  approximately  the same since 1991.
For tax purposes,  this  property has a federal tax basis of  $1,785,378  and is
depreciated using the straight-line method with a useful life of 27.5 years. The
annual real  estate  taxes are  $23,800  which is based on an assessed  value of
$288,000 taxed at a rate of $8.264 per $100. No one tenant  occupies ten percent
or more of the building.  It is the opinion of the  management of the Registrant
that the property is adequately covered by insurance.

                  c. Wistar Alley - located in the District at 30-32 North Third
Street, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, consists of two adjoining buildings which
contain 18 residential units and 4,500 sf of commercial area. In December, 1984,
the  Registrant  acquired  the  buildings  and is the 100%  equity  owner of the
property.  The property was acquired and  rehabilitated for $2,230,000 ($101 per
sf), funded by the equity  contribution  and three mortgage loans of $1,400,000.
On June 1, 1993, the first mortgage was modified.  The terms of the modification
include  the  addition  of all  accrued  and unpaid  interest  to the  principal
balance, changing the due date to 1998 and revising the payment terms. The first
mortgage has a principal  balance at December 31, 1995 of  $1,359,365  and bears
interest  at 2-1/2 over the  Federal  Home Bank Board Cost of Funds Index with a
maximum of 14-1/2% and a minimum of 8-1/2%,  therefore  8-1/2% at  December  31,
1995.  The new payment terms require  monthly  payments of interest equal to net
operating  income,  with a minimum of $9,000 per month.  The  property  has been
making  payments in at least in the minimum  amount of $9,000 per month in order
to keep the loan current.  The second and third notes have principal balances at
December 31, 1995 of $380,114,  and $96,689. The notes bear interest at 11%, and
prime plus 1 1/2%, therefore 10% at December 31, 1995, respectively, and are due
at the  earlier of the sale of the  Property or the year 2009.  The  property is
managed by BCMI. As of December 31, 1995, 13 residential  units were under lease
(76%) at  monthly  rents  ranging  from $595 to $895 and 1,700 sf of  commercial
space were under lease (38%) at an annual rental rate of $13.85 per sf.

                  All residential  leases are renewable,  one-year  leases.  The
occupancy  for the  residential  units for the  previous  four years was 86% for
1994,  88% for 1993, 84% for 1992 and 89% for 1991. The monthly rental range has
been  approximately  the same since 1991. No one tenant  occupies ten percent or
more of the Registrant's units.

                  The occupancy for the  commercial  space for the previous four
years has been 100% for  1994,  100% for 1993,  100% for 1992 and 100% for 1991.
The range for  annual  rents  has been  $9.28 per sf to $13.45  per sf for 1994,
$10.85 per sf for 1993,  $11.18 per sf for 1992 and $9.36 per sf for 1991. There

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

is one commercial  tenant, a photographer,  at the building which leases a total
sf of 1,700 under a lease  expiring in 1996.  The total annual rental covered by
this lease is $23,544 which represents 14% of the total gross annual rental. The
lease has no  renewal  option  and there  have  been no  negotiations  regarding
renewal with the tenant.  However, due to the long-standing tenancy,  management
expects the tenant to renew.

                  For tax  purposes,  this  property  has  federal  tax basis of
$2,161,725 and is depreciated using the straight-line  method with a useful life
of 27.5 years.  The annual real  estate  taxes are $22,908  which is based on an
assessed  value of  $280,000  taxed at a rate of $8.264  per $100.  It is of the
opinion of the  management  of the  Registrant  that the property is  adequately
covered by insurance.

                                     PART II

Item 5.  Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

                  a.  There is no  established  public  trading  market  for the
Units.  Registrant does not anticipate any such market will develop.  Trading in
the Units occurs solely  through  private  transactions.  The  Registrant is not
aware of the prices at which trades occur. Registrant's records indicate that 73
Units of record were sold or exchanged in 1995.

                  b.  As of December 31, 1995, there  were  1,233 record holders
of Units.

                  c.  Registrant  did not declare any cash  dividends in 1995 or
1994.

Item 6.  Selected Financial Data

                  The following  selected  financial data are for the five years

Item 7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
                  Conditions and Results of Operations

                  (1)    Liquidity

                         At  December   31,   1995,   Registrant   had  cash  of
approximately  $4,571. Such funds are expected to be used to pay liabilities and
general and  administrative  expenses of Registrant and to fund cash deficits of
the  properties.  Cash  generated  from  operations  is used  primarily  to fund
operating expenses and debt service. If cash flow proves to be insufficient, the
Registrant will attempt to negotiate with the various lenders in order to remain
current  on all  obligations.  The  Registrant  is not  aware of any  additional
sources of liquidity.

                         As of December 31, 1995, Registrant had restricted cash
of $40,882 consisting primarily of funds held as security deposits,  replacement
reserves and escrows for taxes.  As a consequence  of these  restrictions  as to
use,  Registrant  does not deem these funds to be a source of liquidity.  Should
the first mortgage  holder of the eleven units at Smythe Stores be successful in
its attempts to foreclose,  it is not expected to have a  significant  impact on
the Registrant's  liquidity, as these units have generated little or no positive
cash flow.

                         In recent years the Registrant has realized significant
losses,  including the  foreclosure of five  properties,  due to the properties'
inability to generate  sufficient cash flow to pay their operating  expenses and
debt  service.  At the present  time,  with the exception of the eleven units at
Smythe  Stores,  where the  Registrant  will either be able to  negotiate a loan
modification  or the units will be foreclosed,  the Registrant has feasible loan
modifications in place. However, in all three cases, the mortgages are basically
"cash-flow"  mortgages,  requiring all available cash after payment of operating
expenses to be paid to the first mortgage holder.  Therefore it is unlikely that
any  cash  will  be  available  to  the   Registrant  to  pay  its  general  and
administrative expenses.

                         It is the  Registrant's  intention  to continue to hold
the properties  until they can no longer meet the debt service  requirements and
the properties are foreclosed,  or the market value of the properties  increases
to a point  where they can be sold at a price which is  sufficient  to repay the
underlying indebtedness.

                         Since the lenders  have agreed to forebear  from taking
any  foreclosure  action as long as cash flow payments are made,  the Registrant
believes it is appropriate to continue presenting the financial  statements on a
going concern basis.

                  (2)    Capital Resources

                         Due to the  relatively  recent  rehabilitations  of the
properties,  any capital expenditures needed are generally replacement items and
are funded out of cash from  operations  or  replacement  reserves,  if any. The
Registrant  is not aware of any factors  which would  cause  historical  capital
expenditures  levels not to be indicative of capital  requirements in the future
and accordingly, does not believe that it will have to commit material resources
to  capital  investment  for the  foreseeable  future.  If the need for  capital
expenditures  does arise, the first mortgage holder for Third Quarter and Wistar
Alley and nine units at Smythe Stores has agreed to fund capital expenditures.

                         Results of Operations

                         During 1995, Registrant incurred a net loss of $178,506
($15.22  per  limited  partnership  unit),  compared  to a net loss of  $966,711
($82.44  per  limited  partnership  unit),  in 1994 and a net  loss of  $279,965
($23.87 per limited partnership unit), in 1993.

                         Rental  income  decreased  from  $797,966  in  1993  to
$795,515  in 1994 and to  $634,710 in 1995.  The  decrease  from 1994 to 1995 is
mainly  the  result of the loss of  Centre  Park in 1995.  Additionally,  rental
income decreased at two of the  Registrant's  other properties due to a decrease
in the average  occupancy  from 1994 to 1995 at Third  Quarter  (95% to 75%) and
Wistar Alley (86% to 83%) and the loss of one commercial tenant at Wistar Alley.
Additionally,  rental income at Smythe Stores decreased due to a decrease in the
occupancy  of  some  higher  priced  units  while  overall  occupancy  increased
slightly.

                         Other income  decreased  from $109,015 in 1993 to $0 in
1994 to $0 in 1995. The decrease from 1993 to 1994 and 1995 is mainly the result
of the  write-off at Smythe  Stores,  of accounts  payable which had been on the
Registrants  books for several years,  and through a thorough  review in 1993 of
historical accounting records, was determined not to be due or payable.

                         As a result of a decrease in the amount of cash held by
the Registrant  during 1995 and 1994,  interest  income declined from $10,557 in
1993 to $5,332 in 1994 to $527 in 1995.

                         Rental operations  expenses  decreased from $678,152 in
1993 to $584,003 in 1994 and to $535,597 in 1995. The overall decrease from 1994
to 1995  resulted  mainly from the loss of Centre Park in 1995 and a decrease in
real estate taxes at Smythe Stores partially offset by certain operating expense
increases at all properties,  such as maintenance,  condominium fees,  insurance
and commissions.  Maintenance and commissions  increased pursuant to a change in
the management contract which increased the hourly rates charged for maintenance

                                      -8-

<PAGE>

personnel  and allowed  the  accrual of  commissions  for  properties  where the
mortgage is a cash flow mortgage.  The increase in condominium fees relates to a
one time decrease in 1994 based on a  recalculation  of condominium  fees by the
condominium  association  for all  previous  years at Smythe  Stores.  Insurance
increased  at Smythe  Stores due to a  reallocation  of the premium  between the
owner and the condominium  association to better reflect the coverage  provided.
Real estate taxes  decreased at Smythe  Stores due to a decrease in the assessed
value.  The overall  decrease  from 1993 to 1994  resulted  from the decrease of
several operating  expense items at the various  properties such as maintenance,
insurance,  condominium  fees, real estate taxes,  and legal expenses  partially
offset by an increase in other items such as  commissions,  wages and  salaries.
Maintenance,  insurance  and taxes  decreased  due to  operational  efficiencies
achieved at the various properties.  The decrease in condominium fees related to
a one  time  decrease  based  on a  recalculation  of  condominium  fees  by the
condominium association for all previous years at Smythe Stores. The decrease in
legal fees is due to legal fees incurred in anticipation of the Event of Default
at Centre Park.  Commissions  increased due to a higher turnover of tenants than
in previous  years while wages and salaries  increased  due to the hiring of one
additional person at Centre Park in 1994.

                         General  and  administrative  expenses  decreased  from
$241,600 in 1993 to $162,000 in 1994 and 1995. The decrease from 1993 to 1994 is
mainly the result of a decrease in legal fees  incurred in  connection  with the
foreclosures of several properties in 1993.

                         Interest  expense  decreased  from  $653,189 in 1993 to
$572,350 in 1994 and  increased to $618,991 in 1995.  The increase  from 1994 to
1995 resulted mainly from a contractual  increase in the interest rate at Centre
Park and an increase in the principal  balance upon which interest is accrued at
Third Quarter.  The decrease from 1993 to 1994 in interest expense is due to the
loss of several properties  through  foreclosure in 1993 partially offset by the
accrual of additional interest in 1993 of interest that should have been accrued
in previous years on Third Quarter  combined with a significant  increase in the
interest rate (3% to prime plus 2%) at Centre Park  resulting  from the Event of
Default.

                         Depreciation  and  amortization   remained   relatively
constant  from $451,052 in 1993 to $449,205 in 1994 and decreased to $396,536 in
1995. The decrease from 1994 to 1995 results mainly from the loss of Centre Park
in 1995.

                         In 1995,  income  of  $140,900  was  recognized  at the
Registrant's four properties  compared to losses of $867,783 in 1994 and $56,264
in 1993. A discussion of property operations/activities follows:

                         In 1995,  Registrant  sustained a loss  $334,058 at the
twenty units owned at the Smythe Stores  Condominium  complex including $164,572
of depreciation  expense  compared to a loss of $305,570  including  $164,040 of
depreciation  expense  in 1994  and a loss of  $232,223  including  $165,697  of
depreciation  expense in 1993.  The increased loss from 1994 to 1995 is due to a
decrease in rental  income,  increases in certain  operating  expenses  (such as
insurance,  maintenance and condominium  fees) partially  offset by decreases in

                                      -9-

<PAGE>

real estate taxes. Rental income decreased due to a decrease in the occupancy of
some  higher  priced  units,  although  overall  occupancy  increased  slightly.
Maintenance  increased  pursuant to a change in the  management  contract  which
increased the hourly rates charged for maintenance  personnel.  Condominium fees
increased  due  to a one  time  decrease  in  1994  due  to a  recalculation  of
condominium fees by the condominium association for all previous years at Smythe
Stores.  Insurance  increased  at Smythe  Stores  due to a  reallocation  of the
premium between the owner and the condominium  association to better reflect the
coverage  provided.  Real  estate  taxes  decreased  at Smythe  Stores  due to a
decrease in the  assessed  value.  The increase in the loss from 1993 to 1994 of
$73,347 is due primarily to the $109,015  write-off of accounts  payable in 1993
and a decrease  in certain  operating  expenses  (such as  condominium  fees and
maintenance)  partially  offset  by an  increase  in  commissions  expense.  The
write-off of accounts  payable  relates to a payable which had been on the books
for  several  years  which,  through a  thorough  review  in 1993 of  historical
accounting  records,  was determined not to be due or payable.  Condominium fees
decreased  due  to a one  time  decrease  in  1994  due  to a  recalculation  of
condominium fees by the condominium association for all previous years at Smythe
Stores.  Maintenance decreased due to lower than usual maintenance needed at the
property.  Commissions increased due to a higher turnover of tenants. Registrant
expects operating results in 1996 to approximate those experienced in 1995.

                         On June 30, 1992 Diversified Historic Properties, Inc.,
co-partner of the Registrant's general partner,  assigned to D, LTD (its parent)
a note  receivable  from the  Registrant  in the amount of $127,418  which bears
interest at 10% with the entire  principal and accrued  interest due on June 30,
1997. On October 8, 1993 D, LTD obtained a judgment in the amount of $156,873 on
this note in Common  Pleas  Court for  Philadelphia  County,  Pennsylvania.  The
judgment accrues interest at 15%. Interest accrued in 1995 was $6,474.  Payments
on the  judgment  are to be  made  from  available  cash  flow  and  before  any
distribution can be made to the Registrant's  limited  partners.  The balance of
the note at December 31, 1995 is $50,716.

                         In 1995, Registrant sustained a loss of $189,012 at the
Third Quarter Apartments including $70,830 of depreciation expense compared to a
loss of $140,598 including $70,228 of depreciation expense in 1994 and a loss of
$200,785  including $68,743 of depreciation  expense in 1993. The increased loss
from 1994 to 1995 is due to a decrease of rental income and increases in certain
operating  expenses (such as  maintenance,  commissions  and  interest).  Rental
income  decreased due to a decrease in the average  occupancy  from 1994 to 1995
(95% to 75%).  Maintenance and commissions increased pursuant to a change in the
management  contract  which  increased the hourly rates charged for  maintenance
personnel  and allowed  the  accrual of  commissions  for  properties  where the
mortgage is a cash flow mortgage.  Interest  increased due to an increase in the
principal balance upon which interest is accrued.  The decrease in the loss from
1993 to 1994 of $60,187 is due  primarily  to a decrease in interest  expense in
1994 of $34,000,  an increase in rental  income of $15,000 due to an increase in
occupancy  (86% to 95%) and a decrease  in certain  operating  expenses  such as
maintenance,  management  fees and  commissions  of  $11,000.  Interest  expense
decreased due to higher than usual  interest  expense in 1993 due the accrual of
additional  interest  in 1993 of  interest  that  should  have been  accrued  in

                                      -10-

previous years.  Maintenance and management fees decreased  pursuant to a change
in the  management  contract  which was  required  by the new  mortgage  holder.
Commissions  decreased due to lower  turnover in the units.  Registrant  expects
operating results in 1996 to approximate those achieved in 1995.

                         In 1995,  Registrant  sustained  a loss of  $130,987 at
Wistar  Alley  including  $85,329 of  depreciation  expense  compared to $96,742
including  $84,985  of  depreciation  expense  in 1994  and a loss  of  $130,378
including $83,908 of depreciation  expense in 1993. The increased loss from 1994
to 1995 is due to the  combination  of a decrease in rental income and increases
in certain  operating  expenses (such as maintenance  and  commissions).  Rental
income  decreased due to a decrease in the average  occupancy  from 1994 to 1995
(86% to 83%) and the loss of one commercial tenant.  Maintenance and commissions
increased  pursuant to a change in the management  contract which  increased the
hourly  rates  charged  for  maintenance  personnel  and  allowed the accrual of
commissions  for  properties  where the  mortgage is a cash flow  mortgage.  The
decrease  in the loss from 1993 to 1994 of $33,636 is the result of an  increase
in  rental  income  of $7,000  and a  decrease  in  operating  expenses  such as
maintenance,  insurance,  management  fees,  and real  estate  taxes of $27,000.
Rental income  increased due to a increase in the average rental rates from 1993
to 1994.  Maintenance and management fees decreased  pursuant to a change in the
management  contract which was required by the new mortgage  holder.  Registrant
expects operating results in 1996 to approximate those achieved in 1995.

                         In 1995,  Registrant  recognized  income of $794,957 at
Centre Park Place including  $75,805 of depreciation  expense compared to a loss
of $324,873  including  $129,952 of  depreciation  expense in 1994 and a loss of
$205,761  including  $111,989  of  depreciation  expense in 1993.  The 1995 loss
without the effect of the foreclosure would have been $271,166.  The decrease in
the loss from 1994 to 1995 results  mainly from the loss of the property in July
1995 partially offset by increased legal fees associated with the foreclosure of
the  property.  Included in  operations  from 1995 is an  extraordinary  gain of
$899,381 representing the difference between the fair market value of the assets
relinquished and the liabilities  satisfied.  The increase in the loss from 1993
to 1994 of $119,112 is due to the following changes.  Interest expense increased
$93,000 due to a significant increase in the interest rate from 3% to prime plus
2% (10.5% at  December  31,  1994),  resulting  from the Event of Default on the
mortgage loan,  combined with the accrual of interest in 1994 on amounts owed to
an affiliate of the Registrant upon which interest had not been accrued in prior
years.  Depreciation expense increased $18,000 due to an adjustment made in 1993
to correct a previous  year's  error  which  reduced  depreciation  expense to a
lower-than-usual  level  in  1993.  This  adjustment  was  immaterial  to  total
depreciation  expense and thus was  expensed in the current  period  rather than
restating  prior periods.  Depreciation  expense for 1994 is at the usual level.
Rental income  decreased  $14,000 due to lower  occupancy  (86% to 81%) in 1994.
Interest income decreased $5,000 due to lower reserve balances on which interest
is earned.  Operating  expenses  decreased  $11,000 due to a decrease in certain
operating expenses (legal fees, administrative, and real estate taxes) offset by
an increase in other operating  expenses  (maintenance,  commissions,  wages and
salaries).  Legal fees and administrative  fees decreased following the Event of
Default  which  allowed  the  guarantor  to  resume  control  of  the  property.
Maintenance  and  commissions  increased  pursuant to a change in the management

                                      -11-

<PAGE>

agreement and wages and salaries  increased due to the hiring of one  additional
person at Centre Park in 1994.

                         On May 3, 1993 a contractor who had performed  services
at Centre Park Place  obtained and executed a judgment (due to  non-payment)  in
the  amount of  $26,028  against  CPA and  garnished  certain  partnership  bank
accounts.  The contractor  collected $7,226 on his judgment.  The balance of the
judgment at the date of foreclosure of the property was $18,802.

                         On June 30, 1992 Diversified Historic Properties, Inc.,
co-partner of the Registrant's general partner,  assigned to D, LTD (its parent)
a note receivable,  from CPA to the Registrant, that had been assigned to it, in
the amount of $246,491 which bears interest at 10% with the entire principal and
accrued  interest  due on June 30,  1997.  On October 8, 1993 D, LTD  obtained a
judgment  in the  amount of  $299,651  on this note in  Common  Pleas  Court for
Philadelphia  County,  Pennsylvania.  The  judgment  accrues  interest  at  15%.
Interest  accrued in 1995 was  $20,950.  Payments on the judgment are to be made
out of available  cash flow from CPA. The balance of the judgment at the date of
foreclosure was $155,239.  Due to the foreclosure of the property, no additional
payments will be made to D, LTD on account of the note from CPA.

                         In 1993, the Registrant  recognized  losses of $903,991
and $826,490 in extraordinary gains from the foreclosure of four properties. The
foreclosures were as follows:

                    (I)  Registrant  realized  net  income  of  $137,098  at No.
128-130  Chestnut  Street.  Due  to  insufficient  cash  flow  generated  by the
property, the Registrant stopped making scheduled debt service payments in 1991.
The loan was  declared in default  and in October  1991,  the lender  received a
confession  of  judgment  from the  Registrant.  The  Registrant  negotiated  an
arrangement  with the lender whereby the lender would forebear from  foreclosing
on the property  until  January 1992 in order for the  Registrant  to attempt to
sell the property. The Registrant was unable to sell the property and the lender
foreclosed in April 1992.

                    (ii) Registrant  sustained  a loss of $20,029 at Shore Mill.
Subsequent  to  September  1989,  Registrant  had made  neither  wraparound  nor
underlying mortgage payments.  In May 1990, Registrant converted the building to
condominium  form of ownership.  In June 1990, in order to forestall  threatened
foreclosure by the first mortgage lender,  a reorganization  petition was filed.
Thereafter,  the automatic stay was lifted to allow the condominiums to be sold.
On February 19, 1993,  the first  mortgage  lender  foreclosed  on the property.
Included  in  operations  for  1993  is  an   extraordinary   loss  of  $134,869
representing  the  difference  between  the  fair  market  value  of the  assets
relinquished and the liabilities satisfied.

                  (iii)  Registrant  sustained  a  loss  of  $858,437  including
$17,129 of depreciation  expense at Catherine  Place. In 1991, the mortgage loan
on this  Property  matured.  The  Registrant  did not repay the loan in full but
continued to make payments  equal to the excess of revenues over  expenses.  The
Registrant  attempted to sell the units in order to repay the loan. During 1992,

                                      -12-

<PAGE>

four of the  condominium  units  were  sold  for a total  of  $274,500  of which
$230,657 was applied to the outstanding loan balance. Included in operations for
1992 is a loss of $127,210  relating to the sale of the units. On July 12, 1993,
due to the inability of the Registrant to sell any additional  units,  the first
mortgage lender  foreclosed on the property.  Included in operations for 1993 is
an extraordinary  gain of $966,665  representing the difference between the fair
market value of the assets relinquished and liabilities satisfied.

                  (iv)   Registrant  sustained  a loss of $162,623  at the Hogan
Building.  Due  to  insufficient  cash  flow  generated  by  the  property,  the
Registrant  had ceased  making  mortgage  payments as of September 1, 1991.  The
lender was placed in receivership by the RTC in 1991. In August 1992, Registrant
received notice from the RTC that the mortgage had been sold and then,  received
a  notice  of  default  from the new  mortgage  holder.  In  order to  forestall
threatened   foreclosure   proceedings   the  property  was   transferred  to  a
partnership,  Hogan Building  Associates  (`HBA"),  owned by the Registrant.  In
September  1992,  HBA filed a  reorganization  petition.  In December  1992, the
bankruptcy  court ordered that by January 15, 1993, the Registrant was to either
pay a  specified  amount  or  provide a deed in lieu of  foreclosure  to the new
mortgage holder. On January 15, 1993, the Registrant  executed a deed in lieu of
foreclosure and relinquished  the property to the new mortgage holder.  Included
in operations for 1993 is an  extraordinary  loss of $160,303  representing  the
difference  between the fair  market  value of the assets  relinquished  and the
liabilities satisfied.

                         Effective January 1, 1995, the Partnership  adopted the
provisions  of  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS") No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
be Disposed Of." There was no cumulative effect of the adoption of SFAS No. 121.

Item 8.  Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

                         Registrant is not required to furnish the supplementary
financial information referred to in Item 302 of Regulations S-K.

                          Independent Auditor's Report



To the Partners of
Diversified Historic Investors

We have audited the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets of  Diversified
Historic Investors (a Pennsylvania  Limited Partnership) and its subsidiaries as
of  December  31,  1995 and  1994 and the  related  consolidated  statements  of
operations,  changes in  partners'  equity  and cash  flows for the years  ended
December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993. These  consolidated  financial  statements are
the  responsibility of the Partnership's  management.  Our  responsibility is to
express an  opinion  on these  consolidated  financial  statements  based on our
audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable  assurance about whether the  consolidated  financial  statements are
free of material  misstatement.  An audit includes  examining,  on a test basis,
evidence  supporting the amounts and disclosures in the  consolidated  financial
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant  estimates  made by  management,  as well as evaluating  the overall
financial  statement  presentation.   We  believe  that  our  audits  provide  a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the consolidated  financial statements referred to in the first
paragraph present fairly, in all material  respects,  the financial  position of
Diversified  Historic  Investors  and  subsidiaries  as of December 31, 1995 and
1994,  and the  results of their  operations  and their cash flows for the years
ended December 31, 1995,  1994 and 1993, in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles.

Our  audits  were  made for the  purpose  of  forming  an  opinion  on the basic
financial  statements  taken  as a  whole.  The  Schedule  of  Real  Estate  and
Accumulated  Depreciation on page 32 is presented for the purposes of additional
analysis and is not a required part of the basic  financial  statements  and, in
our opinion,  is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

The  accompanying  financial  statements  have been  prepared  assuming that the
Partnership  will continue as a going concern.  In recent years, the Partnership

                         DIVERSIFIED HISTORIC INVESTORS
                         ------------------------------
                             (a limited partnership)

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                   ------------------------------------------

NOTE A - ORGANIZATION

Diversified  Historic  Investors (the  "Partnership")  was formed in March 1984,
with Diversified Historic Advisors (a general partnership whose partners are Mr.
Gerald  Katzoff and  Diversified  Historic  Properties,  Inc.,  ) as the General
Partner. Upon the admittance of additional limited partners, the initial limited
partner withdrew.

The Partnership was formed to acquire,  rehabilitate, and manage real properties
which are certified historic  structures as defined in the Internal Revenue Code
(the "Code"),  or which were  eligible for  designation  as such,  utilizing the
mortgage  financing  and the net proceeds  from the sale of limited  partnership
units. Any  rehabilitations  undertaken by the Partnership were done with a view
to   obtaining   certification   of   expenditures   therefore   as   "qualified
rehabilitation expenditures" as defined in the Code.

NOTE B - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the significant  accounting  policies  consistently  applied in the
preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows:

1.       Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying financial statements of the Partnership include the accounts of
one subsidiary  partnership  (the  "Venture"),  in which the  Partnership  has a
controlling   interest,   with  appropriate   elimination  of  inter-partnership
transactions and balances.  These financial  statements  reflect all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring  adjustments)  which, in the opinion of the
Partnership's General Partner, are necessary for a fair statement of the results
for those years.

2.       Depreciation

Depreciation  is computed  using the  straight-line  method  over the  estimated
useful lives of the assets.  Buildings and  improvements are depreciated over 25
years and furniture and fixtures over five years.

3.       Costs of Issuance

Costs incurred in connection  with the offering and sale of limited  partnership
units were charged against partners' equity as incurred.

4.       Cash and Cash Equivalents

The  Partnership  considers  all  highly  liquid  instruments  purchased  with a
maturity of less than three months to be cash equivalents.

                                      -21-

<PAGE>

5.       Net Loss Per Limited Partnership Unit

The net loss per  limited  partnership  unit is  based on the  weighted  average
number of limited  partnership units outstanding  during the period (11,609.6 in
1995, 1994, and 1993).

6.       Income Taxes

Income  taxes or credits  resulting  from  earnings  or losses are payable by or
accrue to the benefits of the partners;  accordingly, no provision has been made
for income taxes in these financial statements.

7.       Restricted Cash

Restricted  cash  includes  amounts held for tenant  security  deposits and real
estate tax reserves.

8.       Other Income

Other  income is  comprised of accounts  payable  amounts  which has been on the
Registrant's  books  for  several  years and were  determined  not to be due and
payable in 1993.

9.       Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized when rental  payments are due on a straight-line  basis.
Rental payments received in advance are deferred until earned.

10.      Rental Properties

Rental  properties  are stated at cost. A provision  for  impairment of value is
recorded  when a decline in value of  property  is  determined  to be other than
temporary as a result of one or more of the following: (1) a property is offered
for sale at a price  below  its  current  carrying  value,  (2) a  property  has
significant  balloon  payments due within the  foreseeable  future for which the
Partnership  does not have the  resources to meet,  and  anticipates  it will be
unable to obtain replacement financing or debt modification  sufficient to allow
a  continued  hold of the  property  over a  reasonable  period  of time,  (3) a
property has been, and is expected to continue, generating significant operating
deficits  and the  Partnership  is unable or  unwilling  to sustain such deficit
results of operations,  and has been unable to, or anticipates it will be unable
to, obtain debt  modification,  financing or  refinancing  sufficient to allow a
continued  hold of the  property  for a  reasonable  period  of time  or,  (4) a
property's value has declined based on management's expectations with respect to
projected future operational cash flows and prevailing economic  conditions.  An
impairment loss is indicated when the  undiscounted sum of estimated future cash
flows  from an  asset,  including  estimated  sales  proceeds,  and  assuming  a
reasonable  period of ownership up to 5 years,  is less than the carrying amount
of the asset.  The  impairment  loss is measured as the  difference  between the
estimated fair value and the carrying amount of the asset. In the absence of the
above circumstances, properties and improvements are stated at cost. An analysis
is done on an annual basis at December 31 of each year.

                                      -22-

11.      New Accounting Pronouncement

Effective  January 1, 1995, the Partnership  adopted the provisions of Statement
of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS")  No.  121,  "Accounting  for  the
Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived  Assets to be Disposed Of."
There was no cumulative effect of the adoption of SFAS No. 121.

NOTE C - GOING CONCERN

In recent years the Registrant has realized  significant  losses,  including the
foreclosure of five  properties,  due to the  properties'  inability to generate
sufficient  cash flow to pay their operating  expenses and debt service.  At the
present time, with the exception of the eleven units at Smythe Stores, where the
Registrant  will either be able to  negotiate a loan  modification  or the units
will be foreclosed,  the Registrant  has feasible loan  modifications  in place.
However, in all three cases, the mortgages are basically "cash-flow"  mortgages,
requiring all available  cash after payment of operating  expenses to be paid to
the  first  mortgage  holder.  Therefore  it is  unlikely  that any cash will be
available to the Registrant to pay its general and administrative expenses.

It is the  Registrant's  intention to continue to hold the properties until they
can no  longer  meet  the  debt  service  requirements  and the  properties  are
foreclosed,  or the market  value of the  properties  increases to a point where
they  can be sold  at a price  which  is  sufficient  to  repay  the  underlying
indebtedness.

Since the lenders have agreed to forebear from taking any foreclosure action, as
long as cash flow payments are made, the Partnership  believes it is appropriate
to continue presenting the financial statements on a going concern basis.

NOTE D - PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

The  significant  terms  of  the  amended  and  restated  Agreement  of  Limited
Partnership  (the  "Agreement"),  as they  relate to the  financial  statements,
follow:

Distributions from Operations

The  Agreement  provides  that,  beginning  with  the date of the  admission  of
subscribers as limited  partners,  all  distributable  cash from  operations (as
defined) will be distributed 90% to the limited  partners and 10% to the General
Partner.

All  distributable  cash from sales or  refinancing  will be  distributed to the
limited  partners equal to their Original  Capital  Contribution  plus an amount
equal to 6% of their  Original  Capital  Contribution  per annum on a cumulative
basis less the sum of all prior distributions and, thereafter, after receipts by
certain  affiliates  of the General  partner of their  subordinated  real estate
commissions,  the  limited  partners  will  receive  85% of cash  from  sales or
refinancings.

                                      -23-

<PAGE>

(A)      In 1988, the Partnership stopped making scheduled mortgage payments. In
         1989, the lender was placed in  receivership  by the  Resolution  Trust
         Corporation  ("RTC").  The entities which  purchased the mortgages from
         the RTC each filed  complaints for foreclosure due to non-payment.  See
         Note H - Commitments and Contingencies for further information.

(B)      On June 1,  1993,  the  terms  of this  loan  were  modified  to  those
         described  above. In accordance with Statement of Financial  Accounting
         Standards  No. 15,  "Accounting  for Debtors and Creditors for Troubled
         Debt Restructurings" the effects of the modification have been and will
         continue  to be  accounted  for  prospectively  from  the  date  of the
         restructuring with no gain recognized at that time.

(C)      In 1991, the Partnership stopped making scheduled mortgage payments. No
         notice of default has yet been received  from the lender.  The interest
         in  arrears  amounts to $93,450 at  December  31,  1995 which  includes
         $20,767 for each of 1995, 1994 and 1993.

(D)      On June 1,  1993,  the  terms  of this  loan  were  modified  to  those
         described  above. In accordance with Statement of Financial  Accounting
         Standards  No. 15,  "Accounting  for Debtors and Creditors for Troubled
         Debt Restructurings" the effects of the modification have been and will
         continue  to be  accounted  for  prospectively  from  the  date  of the
         restructuring with no gain recognized at that time.

(E)      Interest is no longer  being  accrued on these  notes,  since the first
         mortgage  is a cash  flow  mortgage  and is not being  serviced  to the
         extent of total  interest  due.  The  interest  in  arrears  amounts to
         $188,157 at December 31, 1995 which includes  $41,813 for each of 1995,
         1994 and 1993.

(F)      This note  represents  amounts owed to developers  pursuant to negative
         cash flow  guarantees.  Interest  is no  longer  being  accrued  on the
         remaining note, since the first mortgage is a cash flow mortgage and is
         not being serviced to the extent of total interest due. The interest in
         arrears amounts to $37,874 at December 31, 1995 which includes $10,070,
         $8,419 and $7,252 for 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

(G)      Due  to  insufficient  cash  flow of  the  property and the utilization
         of all remaining cash reserves on June 1, 1994, the Partnership  ceased
         making debt service payments.  As a result,  the guarantor of the bonds
         had to fund interest and  principal  payments in the amount of $35,451.
         The guarantor declared an Event of Default under the loan documents and
         on August 19, 1994, the guarantor  exercised its option to purchase the
         bonds  and in  accordance  with the  guarantor  agreement,  raised  the
         interest rate to prime plus 2%. The Registrant's  attempts to negotiate
         the terms of the loan were  unsuccessful and on July 11, 1995 CPA filed
         a reorganization petition pursuant to Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy
         Code. After determining that  reorganization  was not feasible for CPA,
         the bankruptcy was dismissed and the lender on the property  foreclosed
         in 1995.

(H)      The principal payment due in 1991 was not made due to insufficient cash
         flow.  The lender has not declared  the loan in default.  The lender on
         the property foreclosed in 1995.

Registrant's  limited partners.  The balance of the note on December 31, 1995 is
$50,716.

On June  30,  1992  Diversified  Historic  Properties,  Inc.  co-partner  of the
Registrant's general partner, assigned to D, LTD (its parent) a note receivable,
from CPA to the  Registrant,  that had been  assigned  to it,  in the  amount of

NOTE H - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Due to insufficient  cash flow at Smythe Stores,  the Partnership  ceased making
debt service  payments.  In 1990, the lender was placed in  receivership  by the
Resolution Trust Corporation ("RTC"). The entities which purchased the mortgages
from  the  RTC  each  filed  complaints  for  foreclosure  due  to  non-payment;
foreclosure  proceedings  on nine units were filed in the Court of Common Pleas,
Philadelphia  County  in the  matters  of  Bruin  Holdings,  Inc.  ("Bruin")  v,
Diversified Historic Investors and foreclosure  proceedings on eleven units were
filed in the Court of Common  Pleas,  Philadelphia  County in the matters of EMC
Mortgage Corporation v. Diversified Historic Investors. In March 1996, the Bruin
cases were settled and the nine  mortgages  were sold.  The Registrant is in the
process of  negotiating a  modification  with the holder of the mortgage.  It is

                                      -27-

anticipated  that the new terms will call for monthly payments of interest in an
amount equal to net operating income,  with a minimum monthly payment. A hearing
date is set for mid-April in the EMC Mortgage Corporation cases. The Partnership
is pursuing settlement  negotiations;  however if no settlement is reached it is
expected that the eleven associated units will be foreclosed by the lender.

On May 3, 1993, a  contractor  who had  performed  services at Centre Park Place
obtained and executed a judgment (due to  non-payment)  in the amount of $26,028
against Centre Park Associates and garnished certain  Partnership bank accounts.
The contractor collected $7,226 on his judgment.  The balance of the judgment at
the date of  foreclosure  of the property was $18,802 Due to the  foreclosure of
the property,  no additional  payments will be made to the contractor on account
of his judgment.

NOTE I - EXTRAORDINARY GAINS/LOSSES

During 1991, the mortgagee of the property  located at 128-130  Chestnut Street,
Philadelphia  (22,000  square feet of  commercial  space)  declared  the loan in
default and the  Partnership  confessed  judgment on the note.  The  Partnership
negotiated an arrangement with the lender whereby the lender would forebear from
foreclosing on the property  until January 1992 in order for the  Partnership to
attempt to sell the property.  The  Partnership was unable to sell the property,
and the lender  foreclosed  in April 1992.  The  Partnership  has  recognized an
extraordinary  loss of $69,003 during 1992 for the  difference  between the book
value of the property (which approximates fair value) and the extinguished debt.

During  1993,  the  mortgagee  of the  property  located  in the Hill and Harbor
District of East Greenwich,  Rhode Island (21 residential  units)  foreclosed on
the  property.  Since  1989 the  Partnership  had made  neither  wraparound  nor
underlying  mortgage  payments.  In May  1990,  the  Partnership  converted  the
building to condominium  form of ownership.  In June 1990, in order to forestall
threatened  foreclosure by the first mortgage lender, a reorganization  petition
was filed.  Since that time,  several  auctions to sell the  property  were both
scheduled and canceled.  Finally, the automatic stay was lifted, and on February
19,  1993,  the  property  was  foreclosed.   The   Partnership   recognized  an
extraordinary loss of $134,869 in 1993 for the difference between the book value
of the property (which approximated fair value) and the extinguished debt.

During 1993,  the  underlying  mortgage  holder of the  property  located at 314
Catherine Street, Philadelphia (seven remaining residential units) foreclosed on
the property. In 1991, both the wraparound and underlying mortgages matured. The
underlying  mortgage  was declared  due and  payable,  but the lender  agreed to
forebear from foreclosing to allow the Partnership to attempt to sell the units.
During 1992,  four  condominium  units were sold and the  proceeds  were applied
against the outstanding loan balance.  However, since the Partnership was unable
to sell any additional  units,  on July 12, 1993,  the lender  foreclosed on the
property.  The Partnership  recognized an extraordinary gain of $966,665 in 1993
for the difference  between the book value of the property  (which  approximated
fair value) and the extinguished debt.

During 1993, the mortgagee of the property  located at 121 West Broughton Street
in Savannah,  Georgia (13 residential  units and 7,820 square feet of commercial
space)  foreclosed on the property.  The  Partnership had ceased making mortgage

                                      -28-

<PAGE>

payments  in 1991.  Subsequently,  the first  mortgage  lender was  placed  into
receivership by the RTC. In August 1992, the Registrant received notice from the
RTC that the mortgage  had been sold and then  received a notice of default from
the  new  mortgage  holder.  In  order  to  forestall   threatened   foreclosure
proceedings, the property was transferred to a newly-created partnership,  owned
by the Partnership, which filed a reorganization petition. In December 1992, the
bankruptcy court ordered that by January 15, 1993, the Partnership was either to
pay a  specified  amount  or  provide a deed in lieu of  foreclosure  to the new
mortgage holder. On January 15, 1993, the Partnership executed a deed in lieu of
foreclosure  and  relinquished  the property to the mortgagee.  The  Partnership
recognized an extraordinary  loss of $160,303 in 1993 for the difference between
the  book  value  of the  property  (which  approximated  fair  value)  and  the
extinguished debt.

Due to  insufficient  cash flow at Centre Park Associates and the utilization of
all remaining cash reserves on June 1, 1994,  the Registrant  ceased making debt
service payments.  As a result,  the guarantor of the bonds had to fund interest
and principal payments in the amount of $35,451. The guarantor declared an Event
of Default  under the loan  documents  and on August  19,  1994,  the  guarantor
exercised its option to purchase the bonds and in accordance  with the guarantor
agreement,  raised the interest rate on such bonds to prime plus 2%  (therefore,
10.5% at December 31, 1994). On October 31, 1994, the guarantor instituted legal
proceedings  against CPA. The  Partnership's  attempts to negotiate the terms of
the loan were  unsuccessful  and on July 11,  1995,  CPA filed a  reorganization
petition  pursuant to Chapter 11 of the U.S.  Bankruptcy Code. After determining
that  reorganization was not feasible for CPA, the bankruptcy was dismissed and,
on July 28,  1995,  the  lender  foreclosed  on the  property.  The  Partnership
recognized  an  extraordinary  gain of $899,381  during 1995 for the  difference
between the book value of the property (which  approximated  fair value) and the
extinguished debt.
