           to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

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

(1)   Liquidity

                 At March 31, 1996, Registrant had cash of approximately $2,428.
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 March 31, 1996, Registrant had restricted cash of $30,793
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. See Part II, Item 1 for additional information.

                 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.

                                      -2-

            (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.

            (3)  Results of Operations

                 During  the first  quarter of 1996,  Registrant  incurred a net
loss of $283,789 ($24.30 per limited partnership unit) compared to a net loss of
$391,711 ($33.40 per limited partnership unit) for the same period in 1995.

                 Rental  income  decreased  $82,516  from  $188,966 in the first
quarter of 1995 to $106,450 in the same period in 1996.  The  decrease  resulted
from the foreclosure of one of the  Registrant's  properties  ("Centre Park") in
July 1995  combined  with a decrease in rental  income at Wistar  Alley due to a
decrease  in  average  occupancy  (94% to 68%)  and the  loss of one  commercial
tenant,  and a decrease at Smythe Stores due to a decrease in average  occupancy
(94% to 76%)

                 Expense  for  rental  operations   decreased  by  $38,132  from
$196,615  in the first  quarter of 1995 to  $158,483 in the same period in 1996.
Expenses for rental  operations  decreased due to the foreclosure of Centre Park
in July 1995 combined  with an decrease in management  fees at Smythe Stores due
to the lower occupancy partially offset by an increase in maintenance expense at
both Third  Quarter  and Wistar  Alley  pursuant  to a change in the  management
contract which increased the hourly rates charged for maintenance personnel.

                 Depreciation and amortization  expense  decreased  $32,402 from
$111,707 in the first quarter of 1995 to $79,395 in the same period in 1996. The
decrease is the result of the foreclosure of Centre Park in July 1995.

                 Interest  expense  decreased by $113,483  from  $232,026 in the
first  quarter of 1995 to $118,543 in the same period in 1996.  The  decrease is
the result of foreclosure of Centre Park in July 1995.

                 Losses  incurred during the quarter at the  Registrant's  three
properties  amounted to $242,000,  compared to a loss of approximately  $319,000
for the same period in 1995.

                 In the first  quarter  of 1996,  Registrant  incurred a loss of
$112,000  at  the  Smythe  Stores  Condominium   complex  including  $40,000  of
depreciation  and  amortization  expense,  compared to a loss of $111,000 in the
first quarter of 1995,  including $40,000 of depreciation  expense. The increase
in the loss from the first  quarter of 1995 to the same period in 1996 is due to
a decrease in average  occupancy (94% to 76%) due to a higher  turnover of units
partially  offset by an decrease in management fees due to the lower  occupancy.
Registrant is striving to increase  occupancy and thus operating  results in the
following quarters.

                 In the first  quarter  of 1996,  Registrant  incurred a loss of
$68,000 at Third Quarter Apartments,  including $17,000 of depreciation expense,
compared to a loss of $59,000 including  $17,000 of depreciation  expense in the
first  quarter of 1995.  The increase in the loss from the first quarter of 1995
to the same period in 1996 is the result of an increase in  maintenance  expense
pursuant to a change in the management contract which increased the hourly rates
charged for maintenance personnel. Registrant anticipates that operating results
in the  following  quarters  will be similar to those  experienced  in the first
quarter of 1996.

                 In the first  quarter  of 1996,  Registrant  incurred a loss of
$62,000 at Wistar Alley, including $21,000 of depreciation expense,  compared to
a loss of $37,000 including $21,000 of depreciation expense in the first quarter
of 1995.  The  increase  in the loss from the first  quarter of 1995 to the same
period in 1996 is mainly  the  result of a  decrease  in rental  income due to a
decrease in average  occupancy (94% to 68%) due to higher  turnover and the loss
of one commercial tenant. In addition, maintenance expense increased pursuant to
a change in the management contract which increased the hourly rates charged for
maintenance  personnel.  Registrant  is striving to increase  occupancy and thus
operating results in the following quarters.

                 In the first quarter of 1996,  Registrant incurred a loss of $0
at Centre  Park  Place,  compared  to a loss of  $112,000  including  $32,000 of
depreciation expense in the first quarter of 1995. The decrease in the loss from
the first quarter of 1995 to the same period in 1996 is due to the fact that the
property was foreclosed by the lender in July 1995.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.     Legal Proceedings

            Due to  insufficient  cash flow at  Smythe  Stores,  the  Registrant
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 new holder
of the  mortgage.  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  occurred in early May where EMC's motion to have a
receiver  appointed was denied.  The next hearing date has not yet been set. 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.
