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

(1)    Liquidity

                      At  June  30,  1999,  Registrant  had  cash   of
approximately  $13,446.   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  June 30, 1999, Registrant had  restricted
cash  of  $58,404  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.

                     In  recent  years  the  Registrant  has  realized
significant losses, including the foreclosure of five properties and a
portion  of  a  sixth  property, due to the properties'  inability  to
generate sufficient cash flow to pay their operating expenses and debt
service.  The Registrant has first mortgages in place in each  of  its
remaining  three properties that 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,  to  pay  debt  service  on   the   past-due
subordinate mortgage with respect to the Third Quarter or to  pay  any
debt  service  on  the two accrual mortgages with  respect  to  Wistar
Alley.

                     It  is the Registrant's intention to continue  to
hold  the  properties until they can no longer meet the  debt  service
requirements  (or with respect to the Third Quarter and Wistar  Alley,
the  lender seeks payment on the past due mortgage) 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)  Capital Resources

                     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, Wistar Alley and Smythe Stores has agreed to  fund
capital expenditures at terms similar to the first mortgage.

               (3)  Results of Operations

                     During  the  second quarter of  1999,  Registrant
recognized  net  income  of $303,094 ($25.85 per  limited  partnership
unit)  compared  to  a  net  loss  of  $176,022  ($15.01  per  limited
partnership  unit)  for the same period in 1998.  For  the  first  six
months of 1999, the Registrant recognized income of $86,224 ($7.35 per
limited  partnership unit) compared to a net loss of $395,400  ($33.72
per limited partnership unit) for the same period in 1998.

                     Rental  income increased $2,610 from $119,968  in
the  second  quarter of 1998 to $122,578 in the same period  in  1999.
The  increase  resulted from an increase in rental income  due  to  an
increase  in average occupancy at both Third Quarter 92% to  96%)  and
Wistar  Alley  (94% to 95%) and increases in the average rental  rates
partially  offset by a decrease at Smythe Stores due to a decrease  in
the  average  occupancy (96% to 78%) and the sale of  one  condominium
unit.

                     Rental income increased $11,937 from $236,645 for
the  first six months of 1998 to $248,582 for the same period in 1999.
The  increase  resulted from an increase in rental income  due  to  an
increase  in average occupancy at both Third Quarter (91% to 95%)  and
Wistar Alley (94% to 96%) and increases in the average rental rates.

                     Expense for rental operations increased by $1,259
from  $61,823  in the second quarter of 1998 to $63,082  in  the  same
period in 1999 and increased by $8,545 from $163,496 for the first six
months  of 1998 to $172,041 for the same period in 1999. The  increase
in rental operations for both the second quarter of 1999 and the first
six  months of 1999 as compared to the same periods in 1998 is due  to
increases  in  management fees, utilities, and  commissions  at  Third
Quarter  and  an  increase in maintenance expense and  commissions  at
Wistar  Alley due to increases in the average occupancy. The increases
are  partially  offset  by a decrease in maintenance  and  commissions
expense at Smythe Stores due to the sale of the condominium unit.

        Interest expense decreased $11,692 from $159,044 in the second
quarter  of 1998 to $147,352 in the same period in 1999 and  decreased
by  $12,317 from $318,077 for the first six months of 1998 to $305,760
for  the same period in 1999.  The decrease in interest expense is due
to the sale of one condominium unit at Smythe Stores.

       Income recognized during the second quarter at the Registrant's
properties  amounted to $329,000, compared to a loss of  approximately
$150,000  for  the same period in 1998.  For the first six  months  of
1999  the  Registrant's  properties  recognized  a  gain  of  $139,000
compared to a loss approximately $343,000 for the same period in 1998.

                      In   the  second  quarter  of  1999,  Registrant
recognized income of $385,000 at the Smythe Stores Condominium complex
including  $18,000  of depreciation expense, compared  to  a  loss  of
$91,000   in  the  second  quarter  of  1998,  including  $18,000   of
depreciation expense and for the first six months of 1999,  Registrant
recognized income $294,000 including $37,000 of depreciation  expense,
compared  to a loss of $186,000 for the same period in 1998, including
$37,000  of  depreciation expense. Included in income  in  the  second
quarter of 1999 and the first six months of 1999 is a gain of $467,000
related to the sale of a condominium unit.  Overall, exclusive of  the
gain  the  property would have recognized a loss of  $82,000  for  the
second  quarter  of  1999 compared to a loss of $91,000  in  the  same
quarter  of  1998 and a loss of $173,000 for the first six  months  of
1999 compared to a loss of $186,000 for the same period in 1998.   The
decrease  in  the  loss  is  a  result  of  a  decrease  in  interest,
maintenance and commissions expense due to the sale of the condominium
unit.   The decrease for the second quarter is also due to a  decrease
in  the rental income due to a decrease in the average occupancy  (96%
to 78%).

                    In the second quarter of 1999, Registrant incurred
a  loss  of $36,000 at Third Quarter Apartments, including $18,000  of
depreciation expense, compared to a loss of $38,000 including  $18,000
of  depreciation  expense in the second quarter of 1998  and  for  the
first  six  months  of 1999, Registrant incurred a  loss  of  $91,000,
including  $36,000  of depreciation expense, compared  to  a  loss  of
$93,000 for the same period in 1998, including $36,000 of depreciation
expense.  The decrease in the loss for both the second quarter and the
first six months of 1998 to the same periods in 1999 is the result  of
an  increase in rental income due to an increase in occupancy (92%  to
96%)  for the second quarter and (91% to 95%) for the first six months
and  an increase in the average rental rates, partially offset  by  an
overall  increase  in  operating expenses including  management  fees,
utilities, and commissions due to the increase in average occupancy.

                    In the second quarter of 1999, Registrant incurred
a  loss  of $20,000 at Wistar Alley, including $44,000 of depreciation
expense,  compared  to  a  loss  of  $21,000,  including  $22,000   of
depreciation  expense, in the second quarter of 1998.  For  the  first
six  months of 1999, Registrant incurred a loss of $64,000,  including
$44,000  of  depreciation expense, compared  to  a  loss  of  $64,000,
including  $44,000  of depreciation expense, for the  same  period  in
1998.  Although there was no significant change overall, rental income
increased due to an increase in occupancy (94% to 95%) for the  second
quarter  and (94% to 96%) for the first six months and an increase  in
the  average  rental rates. The increase was partially  offset  by  an
increase  in  operating expenses including maintenance and commissions
expense as a result of the increase in occupancy.
