Some of the statements  included in Items 1 and 2, Business and Properties,  may
be considered to be "forward looking statements" since such statements relate to
matters  which  have  not  yet  occurred.  For  example,  phrases  such  as "the
Partnership  anticipates",  "believes" or "expects" indicate that it is possible
that the event  anticipated,  believed  or expected  may not occur.  Should such
event not occur,  then the result which the  Partnership  expected  also may not
occur or occur in a different manner, which may be more or less favorable to the
Partnership.  The  Partnership  does not undertake any  obligations  to publicly
release the result of any revisions to these forward looking statements that may
be made to reflect any future events or circumstances.

        -  A joint venture interest in the Lakeshore/University II Joint Venture

           NTS-Properties Plus Ltd. and NTS/Fort Lauderdale, Ltd., affiliates of

           -   Outparcel Building Sites - approximately 6.2 acres of undeveloped
               land adjacent to the Lakeshore  Business Center development which
               is zoned for commercial development.

The  Partnership  also owns  approximately  6.21 acres of land,  adjacent to the
University  Place  development  (University  Business  Center III),  in Orlando,
Florida, which is zoned for commercial development.

The Partnership or the joint venture in which the Partnership is a partner has a
fee title interest in the above properties.  In the opinion of the Partnership's
management, the properties are adequately covered by insurance.

Commonwealth Business Center Phase II is encumbered by a note payable to a bank.
The outstanding balance of the mortgage at December 31, 1996 was $1,345,687. The
note is due  February  1, 2009 and bears  interest  at the Prime  Rate.  Monthly
principal payments are based upon a 13-year amortization  schedule. At maturity,
the note will have been repaid based on the current rate of amortization.

University  Business  Center Phase I is encumbered  by a mortgage  payable to an
insurance company.  The outstanding balance of the mortgage at December 31, 1996
was  $4,876,477.  The mortgage is due  February 1, 2008 and bears  interest at a
fixed  rate of  7.65%.  Monthly  principal  payments  are  based  upon a 12-year
amortization  schedule. At maturity, the mortgage will have been repaid based on
the current rate of amortization.

The Willows of Plainview  Phase II, a joint venture  between the Partnership and
NTS-Properties  IV, is  encumbered  by permanent  mortgages  with two  insurance
companies.  The  outstanding  balance of the  mortgages at December 31, 1996 was
$5,143,945  ($3,220,975  and  $1,922,970).  The  mortgages  are  recorded  as  a
liability of the Joint Venture. The Partnership's  proportionate interest in the
mortgages at December 31, 1996 is $4,620,805  ($2,893,401 and $1,727,404).  Both
mortgages  currently  bear interest at a fixed rate of 7.5% and are due December
5, 2003.  The  outstanding  balance at  maturity  based on the  current  rate of
amortization  would be  $4,449,434  ($2,786,095  and  $1,663,339)  of which  the
Partnership's   proportionate   share  would  be  $4,017,839   ($2,515,844   and
$1,501,995).

The  properties  owned by the  Lakeshore/University  II Joint  Venture,  a joint
venture between the Partnership, NTS-Properties IV, NTS-Properties Plus Ltd. and

The loans are recorded as a liability of the Joint  Venture.  The  Partnership's
proportionate  interest  in the  loans at  December  31,  1996  was  $4,101,627,
$3,931,435  and  $3,812,300,  respectively,  for a  total  of  $11,845,362.  The

August 1, 2008 and are  secured  by the  assets  of the Joint  Venture.  Monthly
principal payments are based upon a 12-year amortization  schedule. At maturity,
the loans will have been repaid based on the current rate of amortization.

For a  further  discussion  regarding  the  terms  of the  debt  financings  see
Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of  Financial  Condition  and Results of
Operations (Item 7).

Currently,  the  Partnership's  plans for  renovations  and other major  capital
expenditures   include   tenant  finish   improvements   as  required  by  lease
negotiations  at the  Partnership's  commercial  properties.  Changes to current
tenant finish improvements are a typical part of any lease negotiation.

Improvements  generally  include  a  revision  to  the  current  floor  plan  to
accommodate a tenant's needs, new carpeting and paint and/or  wallcovering.  The
extent and cost of these  improvements  are  determined by the size of the space
and whether the improvements are for a new tenant or incurred because of a lease
renewal.  The  tenant  finish  improvements  will be  funded  by cash  flow from
operations and, if needed, cash reserves.

Philip Crosby Associates, Inc. ("Crosby") has leased 100% of University Business
Center Phase II. The original lease term is for seven years, and the tenant took
occupancy in April 1991.  During the years ended  December  31,  1994,  1995 and
1996, Crosby sub-leased a portion of the business center. Currently,  Crosby has
sub-leased,  through the end of their lease term,  approximately  81,000  square
feet  (including  approximately  10,000  square  feet  of  mezzanine  space)  of
University  Business Center Phase II's  approximately  88,000 square feet of net
rentable  area (or 92%).  Of the total being  sub-leased,  approximately  69,000
square feet (or 85%) is being leased by Full Sail Recorders, Inc. ("Full Sail"),
a major tenant at  University  Business  Center  Phase I. During 1994,  1995 and
1996,  Crosby  continued to make rent  payments  pursuant to the original  lease
terms.  The Joint Venture has received notice that Crosby does not intend to pay
full rental due under the original lease  agreement from and after January 1997.
The rental  income from this  property  accounts  for  approximately  15% of the
partnership's  total revenues.  The Joint Venture has instituted legal action to
seek resolution of this situation. Although the Joint Venture does not presently
have lease agreements  (except as noted below) with the sub-lessees noted above,
beginning  February  1997 rent payments  from these  sub-lessees  are being made
directly  to the Joint  Venture.  The Joint  Venture  is  currently  negotiating
directly  with the  sub-lessees  to enter  into lease  agreements  for the space
presently sublet. At this time, the future leasing and tenant finish costs which
will be required to release this space are unknown except as noted below for the
negotiations with Full Sail.

In  December  1995,  Full  Sail  signed a 33 month  lease  with the L/U II Joint
Venture for  approximately  41,000  square  feet it  currently  sub-leases  from
Crosby. In November 1996, Full Sail signed a lease amendment which increased the
square  footage from 41,000  square feet to 48,000  square feet and extended the
lease term from 33 months to 76 months.  In November 1996, Full Sail also signed
a 52 month lease for the remaining approximately 21,000 square feet it presently
sub-leases  from Crosby.  Both lease terms  commence  April 1998 when the Crosby
lease ends. As part of the lease negotiations, Full Sail will receive a total of
$450,000 in special  tenant  allowances  ($200,000  resulting  from the original
lease signed  December  1995 and  $250,000  resulting  from the lease  amendment
signed  November  1996).  Approximately  $92,000 of the total allowance is to be
reimbursed by Full

Sail to the L/U II Joint Venture.  The Partnership's  proportionate share of the
net  commitment  ($450,000 less $92,000) is  approximately  $247,000 or 69%. The
tenant allowance will be due and payable to Full Sail pursuant to the previously
mentioned  lease  agreements,  as  appropriate  invoices for tenant finish costs
incurred by Full Sail are submitted to the L/U II Joint  Venture.  The source of
funds for this  commitment  is expected to be cash flow from  operations  and/or
cash reserves.

As of December 31, 1996, University Business Center Phase I has a commitment for
tenant  finish  improvements  of  approximately  $18,000  as a result of a lease
renewal. The renewal extends the lease for two years. The project is expected to
be  completed  during the first  quarter  of 1997.  The source of funds for this
project is expected to be cash flow from operations and/or cash reserves.

Subsequent  to December 31, 1996,  the L/U II Joint Venture made a commitment of
approximately  $55,000 for tenant  finish  improvements  at  Lakeshore  Business
Center  Phase I as a result of a lease  renewal  and  expansion.  The  expansion
increases the tenant's current leased space by  approximately  2,000 square feet
and  the  renewal   extends  the  lease  for  five  years.   The   Partnership's
proportionate  share of the  commitment  is  approximately  $38,000 or 69%.  The
project is  expected  to be  completed  during the second  quarter of 1997.  The
source of funds for this  project is  expected  to be cash flow from  operations
and/or cash reserves.

The  Partnership  had no other material  commitments  for renovations or capital
improvements as of December 31, 1996.

On January 29, 1996, the Partnership  obtained  permanent  financing from a bank
totalling  $1,600,000  with $200,000 held for future  fundings.  The outstanding
balance  at  December  31,  1996 was  $1,345,687.  The  mortgage  payable is due
February  1,  2009,  bears  interest  at  the  Prime  Rate  and  is  secured  by
Commonwealth Business Center Phase II ("CBC II"). The remaining $200,000 will be
disbursed  by  February 1, 1999 in one  additional  advance  when the  following
conditions are met: 1) CBC II reaches a minimum occupancy of 75% based on leases
acceptable to the bank with a minimum term of not less than three years,  2) CBC
II achieves a minimum  gross  monthly base rental income of $37,500 for at least
three months,  3) the  Partnership is not in default on the loan and 4) the bank
receives  tenant  estoppel  certificates  from the  tenants  of CBC II.  Monthly
principal payments are based on a 13-year  amortization  schedule.  At maturity,
the note will have been repaid based on the current rate of amortization.

On January 31,  1996,  the  Partnership  obtained  permanent  financing  from an
insurance company totalling $5,100,000.  The outstanding balance at December 31,
1996 was  $4,876,477.  The  mortgage  payable is due  February  1,  2008,  bears
interest at a fixed rate of 7.65% and is secured by University  Business  Center
Phase  I.  Monthly  principal  payments  are  based  on a  12-year  amortization
schedule.  At maturity,  the mortgage will have been repaid based on the current
rate of amortization.

The proceeds of these permanent  financing were used to retire the Partnership's
note payable, which had a balance of $6,352,000,  to fund loan closing costs and
to increase the Partnership's cash reserves.

On July 23, 1996,  the L/U Joint Venture  obtained  three mortgage loans from an
insurance company totalling $17,400,000 ($6,025,000, $5,775,000 and $5,600,000).
The  outstanding  balances  of the loans at December  31, 1996 were  $5,924,638,
$5,678,802 and $5,506,717,  respectively,  for a total of $17,110,157. The loans
are recorded as a liability of the Joint Venture.

The Partnership's  proportionate  interest in the loans at December 31, 1996 was
$4,101,627, $3,931,435 and $3,812,300, respectively, for a total of $11,845,362.
The mortgages  bear  interest at a fixed rate of 8.125%,  are due August 1, 2008
and are secured by the assets of the Joint Venture.  Monthly principal  payments
are based upon a 12-year amortization schedule. At maturity, the loans will have
been repaid based on the current  rate of  amortization.  The proceeds  from the
loans were used to pay off the Joint  Venture's  notes payable of  approximately
$16.8  million  which  bore  interest  at a fixed rate of 10.6% and to fund loan
closing  costs  of  approximately  $280,000.  The  Partnership's   proportionate
interest in the notes which were paid off was approximately  $11,600,000 or 69%.
The notes  which were paid off had a  maturity  date of January  31,  1998.  The
remaining proceeds will be used to fund Joint Venture tenant finish improvements
and leasing costs.

The  Partnership is engaged solely in the business of developing,  constructing,
owning and  operating  residential  apartments  and  commercial  real estate.  A
presentation about industry segments is not applicable.

The current  business of the Partnership is consistent with the original purpose
of the Partnership which was to invest in real property,  which was either under
development or proposed for development,  on which it would develop,  construct,
own and operate apartment complexes,  business parks, and retail, industrial and
office buildings.  The Partnership's  properties are in a condition suitable for
their intended use.

The Partnership  intends to hold the properties until such time as sale or other
disposition   appears  to  be   advantageous   with  a  view  to  achieving  the
Partnership's  investment objectives or it appears that such objectives will not
be met. In deciding  whether to sell a property,  the Partnership  will consider
factors such as potential capital appreciation, cash flow and Federal income tax
considerations,  including  possible  adverse Federal income tax consequences to
the  Limited  Partners.  The General  Partner of the  Partnership  is  currently
exploring  the  marketability  of  certain  of its  properties,  and has not yet
determined  if any of the  properties  might  be  sold in the  next  12  months.
Additionally, the outparcel building sites owned by the L/U II Joint Venture are
being marketed for sale.

Depreciation for book purposes is computed using the  straight-line  method over
the  estimated  useful  lives of the  assets  which  are 10 - 30 years  for land
improvements, 30 years for buildings, 5 - 30 years for building improvements and
5 - 30 years for amenities.  The estimated realty taxes on planned  renovations,
primarily tenant improvements, is not material.

Investment in Joint Ventures
- ----------------------------

NTS Willows  Phase II Joint  Venture - On  September  1, 1984,  the  Partnership
entered  into a joint  venture  agreement  with  NTS-Properties  IV to  develop,
construct,  own and operate a 144-unit luxury apartment  complex on an 8.29 acre
site in  Louisville,  Kentucky  known as The Willows of Plainview  Phase II. The
term of the Joint Venture shall  continue  until  dissolved.  Dissolution  shall
occur upon, but not before, the first to occur of the following:

      (a)     the withdrawal, bankruptcy or dissolution of a Partner or the
              execution by a Partner of an assignment for the benefit of its
              creditors;

      (b)     the sale, condemnation or taking by eminent domain of all or
              substantially all of the assets of the Partnership, other than its
              cash and cash-equivalent assets;

      (c)     the vote or consent of each of the Partners to dissolve the
              Partnership; or

      (d)     September 30, 2028.

The Partnership  contributed  approximately  $7,455,000,  the  construction  and
carrying costs of the apartment complex,  and NTS-Properties IV contributed land
valued at $800,000.  No future  contributions are anticipated as of December 31,
1996.

The apartment  complex is encumbered by permanent  mortgages  with two insurance
companies.  Both loans are  secured by a first  mortgage  on the  property.  The
outstanding  balance  of the  mortgages  at  December  31,  1996  is  $5,143,945
($3,220,975  and  $1,922,970).  The mortgages are recorded as a liability of the
Joint  Venture.  The  Partnership's  proportionate  interest in the mortgages at
December 31, 1996 is $4,620,805  ($2,893,401  and  $1,727,404).  Both  mortgages
currently  bear  interest at a fixed rate of 7.5% and are due  December 5, 2003.
The  outstanding  balance at maturity based on the current rate of  amortization
would be  $4,449,434  ($2,786,095  and  $1,663,339)  of which the  Partnership's
proportionate  share  would be  $4,017,839  ($2,515,844,  and  $1,501,995).  See
Managements's  Discussion  and  Analysis of Financial  Condition  and Results of
Operations  (Item 7) for a further  discussion  regarding  the terms of the debt
financings.

The Net Cash Flow for each calendar  quarter is  distributed  to the Partners in
accordance with their  respective  Percentage  Interest.  The term Net Cash Flow
means the excess,  if any, of (A) the gross  receipts from the operations of the
Joint Venture Property  (including  investment  income) for such period plus any
funds released from previously  established reserves (referred to in clause (iv)
below),  over (B) the sum of (i) all cash  operating  expenses paid by the Joint
Venture  Property  during such period in the course of  business,  (ii)  capital
expenditures  during such period not funded by capital  contributions,  loans or
paid out of previously established reserves, (iii)

payments  during such period on account of  amortization of the principal of any
debts or  liabilities  of the  Joint  Venture  Property  and (iv)  reserves  for
contingent  liabilities  and  future  expenses  of the Joint  Venture  Property.
Percentage  Interest means that percentage which the capital  contributions of a
Partner bears to the aggregate capital contributions of all the Partners.

Net income or net loss is  allocated  between the  Partners in  accordance  with
their respective Percentage Interests. The Partnership's ownership share was 90%
at December 31, 1996.

The  Partnership  had no liability for funding losses of the joint venture as of
December 31, 1996.

NTS Ft.  Lauderdale  Office Joint  Venture - On April 1, 1985,  the  Partnership
entered  into a joint  venture  agreement  with  NTS-Properties  IV to  develop,
construct,  own and  operate an office  warehouse  building  in Ft.  Lauderdale,
Florida known as Lakeshore Business Center Phase I.

The Partnership contributed approximately  $9,170,000,  the cost of constructing
and  leasing the  building  and  NTS-Properties  IV  contributed  land valued at
$1,752,982.  On January 23, 1995, the partners of the NTS Ft.  Lauderdale Office
Joint Venture contributed  Lakeshore Business Center Phase I to the newly formed
Lakeshore/University  II  (L/U  II)  Joint  Venture.  See  below  for a  further
discussion of the Lakeshore/University II Joint Venture.

NTS University  Boulevard  Joint Venture - On January 3, 1989,  the  Partnership
entered into a joint venture agreement with NTS-Properties Plus Ltd. to develop,
construct,   own  and  operate  Phase  II  of  the  University  Business  Center
development in Orlando, Florida.

The Partnership  contributed land valued at $1,460,000 and  NTS-Properties  Plus
Ltd. contributed  development and carrying costs of approximately $8 million. In
connection  with the  construction  of University  Business  Center Phase I, the
Partnership  incurred the cost of developing certain common areas which are used
by both University Business Center Phase I and Phase II. In 1989, NTS-Properties
Plus Ltd. paid approximately $747,000 to the Partnership for Phase II's share of
the common area costs.  During the second quarter of 1994, the Partnership  made
an approximately  $79,000 capital contribution to the Joint Venture. The capital
contribution  increased  the  Partnership's  ownership  percentage  in the Joint
Venture from  approximately 16% to approximately  17%. The contribution was made
to fund a portion of the Joint Venture's  operating  costs. On January 23, 1995,
the  partners  of  the  NTS  University   Boulevard  Joint  Venture  contributed
University  Business  Center Phase II to the newly formed L/U II Joint  Venture.
See below for a further discussion of the L/U II Joint Venture.

Lakeshore/University II Joint Venture - On January 23, 1995, a new joint venture
known as Lakeshore/University II Joint Venture (L/U II Joint Venture) was formed
among the  Partnership  and  NTS-Properties  IV, NTS-  Properties  Plus Ltd. and
NTS/Fort Lauderdale, Ltd., affiliates of the general partner of the Partnership,
for purposes of owning  Lakeshore  Business  Center Phases I and II,  University
Business Center Phase II and certain  undeveloped tracts of land adjacent to the
Lakeshore  Business  Center  development.   The  table  below  identifies  which
properties  were  contributed  to the L/U II Joint  Venture  and the  respective
owners of such properties prior to the formation of the joint venture.

The term of the Joint Venture shall continued until dissolved. Dissolution shall
occur upon, but not before, the first to occur of the following:

      (a)    the withdrawal, bankruptcy or dissolution of a Partner or the
             execution by a Partner of an assignment for the benefit of its
             creditors;

      (b)    the  sale,  condemnation  or  taking  by  eminent  domain of all or
             substantially  all  of  the  Real  Property  and  the  sale  and/or
             collection of any evidences of indebtedness  received in connection
             therewith;

      (c)    the vote or consent of each of the Partners to dissolve the
             Partnership; or

      (d)    December 31, 2030.

Each of the properties  were  contributed to the L/U II Joint Venture subject to
existing  indebtedness,  except for Lakeshore  Business Center Phase I which was
contributed to the joint venture free and clear of any mortgage  liens,  and all
such  indebtedness was assumed by the joint venture.  Mortgages were recorded on
Lakeshore Business Center Phase I in the amount of $5,500,000, and on University
Business  Center  Phase II in the  amount of  $3,000,000,  in favor of the banks
which held the  indebtedness on University  Business Center Phase II,  Lakeshore
Business  Center  Phase  II and the  undeveloped  tracts  of land  prior  to the
formation  of the joint  venture.  In addition to the above,  NTS-Properties  IV
contributed  $750,000 to the L/U II Joint Venture.  As a result of the valuation
of the  properties  contributed  to the L/U II Joint  Venture,  the  Partnership
obtained a 69% partnership interest in the joint venture.

The properties of the L/U II Joint Venture are  encumbered by mortgages  payable
to an insurance company as follows:

- ----------------------------------------

The loans are recorded as a liability of the Joint  Venture.  The  Partnership's
proportionate  interest  in the  loans  at  December  31,  1996  is  $11,845,362
($4,101,627, $3,931,435, and $3,812,300). The mortgages bear interest at a fixed
rate of 8.125% and are due August 1,2008.  Monthly principal  payments are based
upon a 12-year  amortization  schedule.  At  maturity,  the loans will have been
repaid based on the current rate of amortization.

The Net Cash Flow for each calendar  quarter is  distributed  to the Partners in
accordance with their  respective  Percentage  Interest.  The term Net Cash Flow
means the excess,  if any, of (A) the sum of (i) the gross receipts of the Joint
Venture Properties for such period (including loan proceeds), other than capital
contributions, plus (ii) any funds released from previously established reserves
(referred  to in  clause  (B)(iv)  below),  over  (B) the  sum of (i)  all  cash
operating expenses paid by the Joint Venture during such period in the course of
business,  (ii)  capital  expenditures  paid in cash during such  period,  (iii)
payments  during such period on account of  amortization of the principal of any
debts or  liabilities  of the Joint  Venture and (iv)  reserves  for  contingent
liabilities  and future  expenses of the Joint  Venture,  as  established by the
Partners;  provided,  however,  that the amounts referred to in (B)(i), (ii) and
(iii) above shall only be taken into account to the extent not funded by capital
contributions  or  paid  out  of  previously  established  reserves.  Percentage
Interest  means that  percentage  which the capital  contributions  of a Partner
bears to the aggregate capital contributions of all the Partners.

Net income or net loss is  allocated  between the  partners in  accordance  with
their respective Percentage Interests. The Partnership's ownership share was 69%
at December 31, 1996.

The  Partnership  had no liability for funding losses of the joint venture as of
December 31, 1996.

Competition
- -----------

The  Partnership's  properties are subject to competition  from similar types of
properties  (including,  in  certain  areas,  properties  owned  or  managed  by
affiliates of the General  Partner) in the  respective  vicinities in which they
are located. Such competition is generally for the retention of existing tenants
or  for  new  tenants  when  vacancies  occur.  The  Partnership  maintains  the
suitability  and  competitiveness  of its  properties  primarily on the basis of
effective  rents,  amenities and services  provided to tenants.  Competition  is
expected to increase in the future as a result of the construction of additional
properties.  As of December 31, 1996, there are no properties under construction
in  the  respective   vicinities  in  which  the  properties  are  located.  The
Partnership  has not  commissioned  a  formal  market  analysis  of  competitive
conditions in any market in which it owns properties, but relies upon the market
condition  knowledge of the employees of NTS Development  Company who manage and
supervise leasing for each property.

Management of Properties
- ------------------------

NTS Development Company, an affiliate  NTS-Properties  Associates V, the general
partner  of  the  Partnership,  directs  the  management  of  the  Partnership's
properties  pursuant  to a  written  agreement.  NTS  Development  Company  is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of NTS Corporation.  Mr. J. D. Nichols has a controlling
interest  in  NTS  Corporation  and  is  a  general  partner  of  NTS-Properties
Associates  V. Under the  agreement,  the Property  Manager  establishes  rental
policies and rates and directs the marketing activity of

- ------------------------------------

leasing  personnel.  It also coordinates the purchase of equipment and supplies,
maintenance activity and the selection of all vendors, suppliers and independent
contractors.  As compensation for its services,  the Property Manager received a
total of $342,292 for the year ended  December  31, 1996.  $285,699 was received
from commercial  properties and $56,593 was received from residential  property.
The fee is equal to 6% of gross  revenues from  commercial  properties and 5% of
gross revenues from residential properties.

In addition,  the management  agreement requires the Partnership to purchase all
insurance relating to the managed  properties,  to pay the direct  out-of-pocket
expenses  of the  Property  Manager  in  connection  with the  operation  of the
properties,  including the cost of goods and materials used for and on behalf of
the  Partnership,  and to  reimburse  the  Property  Manager  for the  salaries,
commissions,  fringe  benefits,  and  related  employment  expenses  of  on-site
personnel.

The term of the Management  Agreement  between NTS  Development  Company and the
Partnership  was  for an  initial  period  of five  years,  and  thereafter  for
succeeding  one-year  periods,  unless  cancelled.  The  Agreement is subject to
cancellation by either party upon sixty days written notice.  As of December 31,
1996, the Management Agreement is still in effect.

Conflict of Interest
- --------------------

Because the  principals of the general  partner and/or its affiliates own and/or
operate real estate  properties  other than those owned by the Partnership  that
are or could be in  competition  with the  Partnership,  potential  conflicts of
interest exist.  Because the Partnership was organized by and is operated by the
General  Partner,   these  conflicts  are  not  resolved  through  arm's  length
negotiations  but through the exercise of the General  Partner's  good judgement
consistent  with its fiduciary  responsibility  to the Limited  Partners and the
Partnership's  investment  objectives  and  policies.  The  General  Partner  is
accountable  to the  Limited  Partners  as a  fiduciary  and  consequently  must
exercise  good faith and  integrity in handling  the  Partnership's  affairs.  A
provision has been made in the  Partnership  Agreement that the General  Partner
will not be liable to the Partnership except for acts or omissions  performed or
omitted  fraudulently,  in bad  faith  or  with  negligence.  In  addition,  the
Partnership Agreement provides for indemnification of the General Partner by the
Partnership for liability  resulting from errors in judgement or certain acts or
omissions. The general partner and its affiliates retain a free right to compete
with the  Partnership's  properties  including  the right to  develop  competing
properties now and in the future in addition to those existing  properties which
may compete directly or indirectly.

NTS Development  Company,  the Property  Manager and an affiliate of the general
partner,  acts in a similar capacity for other  affiliated  entities in the same
geographic  region where the Partnership has property  interests.  The agreement
with the Property  Manager is on terms no less favorable to the Partnership than
those  which could be obtained  from third  parties for similar  services in the
same  geographical  region in which the properties are located.  The contract is
terminable by either party without penalty upon 60 days written notice.

There are no other  agreements or  relationships  between the  Partnership,  the
General Partner and its affiliates than those previously described.

The  Partnership  has no  employees;  however,  employees of an affiliate of the

services.

There is no established  trading market for the limited  partnership  interests,
nor is one likely to develop.  The Partnership had 2,761 limited  partners as of
February 27, 1997. Cash  distributions  and allocations of net income (loss) are
made as described in Note 1C to the Partnership's 1996 financial statements.

Annual  distributions  totalling $2.17 (1994) were paid per limited  partnership
unit.  The  Partnership  did not make a cash  distribution  during 1995 or 1996.
Quarterly distributions are determined based on current cash balances, cash flow
being  generated by operations  and cash reserves  needed,  as determined by the
general  partner,  for future  leasing  costs,  tenant  finish costs and capital
improvements. Distributions were paid quarterly as follows:

Results of Operations - Continued
- ---------------------------------

The 17% increase in year-ending  occupancy at Commonwealth Business Center Phase
II from  1995 to 1996 is a  result  of two new  leases  totalling  approximately
15,400  square  feet.   Included  in  this  total  is  a  five  year  lease  for
approximately  14,000 square feet. Partially offsetting the new leases are three
tenant move-outs totalling  approximately 5,200 square feet. Two of the tenants,
which occupied  3,600 square feet,  vacated the premises at the end of the lease
terms.  The third tenant,  which had occupied  approximately  1,600 square feet,
vacated  prior to the end of its  lease  term due to  bankruptcy.  There  was no
accrued income associated with this lease.  Average occupancy decreased from 87%
(1995) to 77% (1996).  The decrease in rental and other  income at  Commonwealth
Business Center Phase II for 1996 as compared to 1995 is primarily the result of
the decrease in average occupancy partially offset by an increase in common area
expense  reimbursements.  Tenants  at  Commonwealth  Business  Center  Phase  II
reimburse  the  Partnership  for  common  area  expenses  as part  of the  lease
agreements.

Prior to  December  31,  1996,  the  Partnership  received  notice that a tenant
occupying  approximately  30% of  Commonwealth  Business  Center  Phase II's net
rentable  square  feet will vacate the  business  center at the end of the lease
term. The Partnership will actively seek new tenants to occupy the vacant space.
At this  time,  the extent  and cost of the  tenant  improvements  which will be
required to attract new tenants remains unknown.

The 33% decrease in year-ending  occupancy at Commonwealth Business Center Phase
II  from  1994  to  1995  is  a  result  of  four  tenant  move-outs   totalling
approximately  22,000 square feet. Included in this total is one tenant of 1,600
square feet which vacated at the end of the lease term. The other three tenants,
who had occupied approximately 20,000 square feet, vacated the premises prior to
the end of the lease terms. Two of the three tenants, who occupied approximately
19,000 square feet,  exercised  termination  options.  The third tenant, who had
occupied  approximately 1,000 square feet, is continuing to pay rent through the
end of its lease term. There was no accrued income associated with these leases.
Partially  offsetting  the  move-outs  is one new lease for 1,600  square  feet.
Average  occupancy  increased  from 78% (1994) to 87%  (1995).  The  increase in
rental and other income at  Commonwealth  Business  Center Phase II from 1994 to
1995 is a result of the increase in average  occupancy and an increase in common
area expense reimbursements.

The 3% increase in year-ending  occupancy at University  Business Center Phase I
from 1995 to 1996 is a result of three new leases totalling  approximately 6,200
square feet.  Partially  offsetting the new leases are three tenant move-outs of
approximately  3,500  square  feet.  Approximately  1,800  square  feet  of  the
move-outs  represents  two tenants  who  vacated the  premises at the end of the
lease term.  The third  tenant,  who occupied  approximately  1,700 square feet,
represents a tenant who vacated prior to the end of the lease term. The move-out
was the result of a downsizing by the tenant's  parent  company.  The tenant has
paid the Partnership a lease  termination fee of approximately  $5,800 (recorded
as rental  income).  There was no accrued  income  associated  with this  lease.
Average  occupancy at  University  Business  Center  Phase I increased  from 91%
(1995) to 96%  (1996).  The  increase in rental and other  income at  University
Business  Center Phase I from 1995 to 1996 is  primarily  due to the increase in
average occupancy.

The 5% increase in year-ending  occupancy at University  Business Center Phase I
from 1994 to 1995 is a result of six new leases  totalling  approximately  9,400
square  feet.  Partially  offsetting  the new  leases  is a tenant  move-out  of
approximately 2,500 square feet at the end of the lease term and one tenant, who
occupied approximately 2,800 square feet, vacating the premises prior to the end
of the lease term due to bankruptcy. Accrued income of

approximately   $3,800   associated   with  this   lease  was   written-off   as
uncollectible. Average occupancy at University Business Center Phase I increased
from 87%  (1994) to 91%  (1995).  The  increase  in rental  and other  income at
University  Business  Center  Phase I from 1995 as compared to 1994 is primarily
due to the fact that the 1994  income  was  reduced by lease  concessions  which
arose out of  negotiations  for an 8,000 square foot expansion and lease renewal
by an existing  tenant.  The lease renewal  extended the tenant's  lease through
June 2002. The lease  concession  period ended June 1994. The increase in rental
and  other  income  from  1994 to 1995 is also due to the  increase  in  average
occupancy,  an increase in common area expense reimbursements and an increase in
rental rates.

The Willows of Plainview  Phase II's  year-ending  occupancy  decreased from 94%
(1995) to 92% (1996).  Average  occupancy at The Willows of  Plainview  Phase II
increased  3% from 92%  (1995) to 95%  (1996).  In the  opinion  of the  General
Partner of the Partnership,  the decrease in year-ending  occupancy from 1995 to
1996 is only a temporary fluctuation and does not represent a downward occupancy
trend.  Occupancy at  residential  properties  fluctuate on a continuous  basis.
Period-ending occupancy percentages represent occupancy only on a specific date;
therefore, it is more meaningful to consider average occupancy percentages which
are  representative of the entire period's  results.  The increase in rental and
other income at The Willows of Plainview  Phase II from 1995 to 1996 is a result
of the 3% increase  in average  occupancy,  an  increase in rental  rates and an
increase  in  income  from  fully-furnished  units.  Fully-furnished  units  are
apartments which rent at an additional premium above base rent.

The Willows of Plainview Phase II's year-ending  occupancy increased from 93% in
1994 to 94% in 1995. However, average occupancy from 1994 to 1995 decreased from
94% to 92%,  respectively.  The decrease in average  occupancy at The Willows of
Plainview Phase II resulted in a decrease in rental and other income.

Year-ending  occupancy at Lakeshore  Business  Center Phase I remained  constant
(92%) from 1995 to 1996. Six new leases totalling 10,600 square feet,  including
approximately 3,400 square feet in expansions by two current tenants, are offset
by five tenant move-outs  totalling  approximately  10,000 square feet. The five
move-outs  consist of two tenants (2,700 square feet) vacating at the end of the
lease term, one tenant (1,600 square feet) exercising a termination  option, and
two tenants  vacating prior to the end of the lease term - one due to a business
decision to consolidate its office space to another  location (700 square feet -
tenant paid rent through end of lease) and one due to  bankruptcy  (5,000 square
feet - tenant ceased rental payments). The write-off of accrued income connected
to these leases was not  significant.  Average  occupancy at Lakeshore  Business
Center Phase I increased  13% from 84% in 1995 to 97% in 1996.  Rental and other
income  increased  from  1995 to 1996 as a result  of the  increase  in  average
occupancy.

As of December 31, 1996, Lakeshore Business Center Phase I had 1,800 square feet
of additional  space leased to a current  tenant.  The tenant took  occupancy in
January 1997.  Subsequent to December 31, 1996, one new lease for  approximately
1,100 square feet and an  expansion  lease for  approximately  2,000 square feet
were signed at Lakeshore  Business Center Phase I. The new tenant took occupancy
during the first quarter of 1997 and the expansion lease is effective during the
second quarter of 1997. With the new leases and expansion, the business center's
occupancy  should improve to 97% during the second quarter of 1997. There are no
material  commitments  relating to the new leases. See the Liquidity and Capital
resources section of this item for the tenant finish commitment  relating to the
expansion lease.

The 12% increase in year-ending  occupancy at Lakeshore  Business Center Phase I
from 1994 to 1995 can be  attributed to 11 new leases,  totalling  approximately
19,000 square feet which includes  approximately 6,400 square feet in expansions
by two current  tenants.  The new leases and expansions are partially  offset by
four  tenant  move-outs,  who vacated at the end of the lease  terms,  totalling
approximately  6,100 square feet. Average occupancy increased from 70% (1994) to
84% (1995). The Partnership's proportionate share of the rental and other income
at Lakeshore  Business Center Phase I decreased in 1995 as compared to 1994 as a
result of the  Partnership's  decreased  ownership in Lakeshore  Business Center
Phase I. (See below for a discussion  regarding the change.) Overall,  Lakeshore
Business Center Phase I's rental and other income  increased in 1995 as compared
to 1994  primarily  as a result of the  increases  in average  occupancy  and an
increase  in  common  area  expense  reimbursements.  Partially  offsetting  the
increase in rental and other income is an increase in the provision for doubtful
accounts.

The 17% increase in year-ending  occupancy at Lakeshore Business Center Phase II
from 72%  (1995) to 89% (1996) can be  attributed  to five new leases  totalling
approximately 19,200 square feet which includes  approximately 7,000 square feet
in expansions by two current tenants.  One tenant,  Lambda Physik,  accounts for
nearly  11,000  square  feet of the total new leases and has become the  largest
tenant  in the  building  occupying  approximately  11% of  the  total  building
rentable square feet.  Partially offsetting the new leases and expansions is one
tenant move-out  totalling  2,800 square feet,  vacating prior to the end of the
lease term but  continuing to pay rent through the end of the lease term (August
1997).  Average  occupancy at Lakeshore  Business Center Phase II increased from
76% (1995) to 80% (1996). Overall, rental and other income at Lakeshore Business
Center  Phase II  remained  fairly  constant  despite a 4%  increase  in average
occupancy.  This is  primarily a result of a decrease  in rental  rates on lease
renewals.  As  discussed  in prior  filings,  prior to the Ft.  Lauderdale  area
experiencing an economic downturn, the property was able to negotiate higher net
effective rental rates than current market rental rates. As a result, the leases
that were  renewed  at the end of 1995 and the  beginning  of 1996  renewed at a
lower net effective rental rate. The  Partnership's  proportionate  share of the
rental and other income at Lakeshore  Business Center II, however,  increased in
1996 as compared to 1995. This is due to the fact that the Partnership  acquired
an interest in Lakeshore  Business  Center Phase II as a result of the formation
of the Lakeshore/University  Joint Venture (L/U II Joint Venture) on January 23,
1995. (See below for a discussion regarding the Joint Venture.)

Subsequent  to  December  31,  1996,  Lakeshore  Business  Center  Phase  II had
approximately  5,100 square feet of additional  space leased to two new tenants.
The  tenants  took  occupancy  during the first  quarter  of 1997.  With the new
leases,  the business center's  occupancy improved to 94%. There are no material
tenant finish commitments relating to the new leases.

Since the Partnership obtained an interest in Lakeshore Business Center Phase II
as a result of the  formation of the L/U II Joint Venture in 1995, no discussion
of the  fluctuation  in  rental  and  other  income  from  1994 to 1995 is being
presented.  See below for a discussion of the changes in year- ending  occupancy
for this period.

The 6% decrease in year-ending  occupancy at Lakeshore  Business Center Phase II
from  1994  to  1995  can be  attributed  to  four  tenant  move-outs  totalling
approximately  9,600  square feet and a  downsizing  by a current  tenant of its
existing  space  of  approximately  6,000  square  feet.  Two of the  move-outs,
totalling  approximately  5,800 square feet,  represent  tenants who vacated the
premises  at the  end  of  the  lease  term.  The  third  tenant,  who  occupied
approximately 1,400 square feet, vacated the premises and ceased making

                                     - 25 -

rental payments in breach of the lease terms due to bankruptcy. The write-off of
accrued income connected with this lease was not significant. The fourth tenant,
who occupied  approximately 2,400 square feet, vacated the premises prior to the
end of the lease term but is continuing to pay rent through the end of the lease
term (September  1996).  Partially  offsetting the tenant  move-outs are six new
leases for a total of  approximately  9,700  square feet.  Average  occupancy at
Lakeshore  Business Center Phase II decreased from 78% (1994) to 76% (1995).  In
the opinion of the General Partner of the Partnership, the decrease in occupancy
is only a temporary  fluctuation  and does not  represent  a downward  occupancy
trend.

Philip Crosby Associates, Inc. ("Crosby") has leased 100% of University Business
Center Phase II. The original lease term is for seven years, and the tenant took
occupancy April 1991. As a result of Crosby downsizing and sub-leasing a portion
of its leased space, occupancy has decreased to 99% at December 31, 1996 and 95%
at  December  31,  1995.  See below for a further  discussion  of Crosby and its
leased space.

In cases of tenants who cease making rental  payments or abandon the premises in
breach of their lease,  the Partnership  pursues  collection  through the use of
collection agencies or other remedies available by law when practical.  In cases
where tenants have vacated as a result of bankruptcy,  the Partnership has taken
legal  action when it was thought  there could be a possible  collection.  There
have been no funds  recovered as a result of these actions during 1996, 1995 and
1994.

The  Partnership's  proportionate  share  of the  rental  and  other  income  at
University  Business Center II increased in 1996 compared to 1995 as a result of
the Partnership's  increased  ownership in the business center effective January
23, 1995. (See below for a discussion regarding the change.) Overall, rental and
other income at University  Business Center Phase II remained fairly constant in
1996 as compared to 1995.

The  Partnership's  proportionate  share  of the  rental  and  other  income  at
University  Business  Center Phase II increased in 1995 as compared to 1994 as a
result of the Partnership's increased ownership in the business center effective
January 23, 1995.  (See below for a discussion  regarding the change.)  Overall,
rental and other income at University Business Center Phase II increased in 1995
as  compared  to  1994  as a  result  of an  increase  in  common  area  expense
reimbursements  and a rent  escalation  based upon an increase  in the  consumer
price index.

Current  occupancy  levels are considered  adequate to continue the operation of
the Partnership's  properties without the need of any additional financing.  See
the Liquidity and Capital Resources section for a discussion  regarding the cash
requirements of the Partnership's current debt financings. In the opinion of the
General  Partner  of  the   Partnership,   the  decreased   occupancy  level  at
Commonwealth  Business  Center Phase II which  occurred in the first  quarter of
1997 (as discussed  above) is not  indicative of trends in the area in which the
property is located.

The  decrease  in  interest  and other  income for 1996 as  compared  to 1995 is
primarily  the  result  of  approximately   $21,600  of  interest  income  being
recognized  during the second  quarter of 1995 on a receivable  from a tenant at
University Business Center Phase I. Interest income was not recognized until the
receivable  had been  repaid in full due to the  length of time it had taken the
tenant to reimburse  the  Partnership.  Interest and other income also  includes
interest earned from investments made by the Partnership with cash reserves. The
decrease in  interest  income for 1996 as compared to 1995 is also a result of a
decrease in cash reserves available for investment.

The  increase  in  interest  and  other  income in 1995 as  compared  to 1994 is
primarily  the  result  of  approximately   $21,600  of  interest  income  being
recognized during the second quarter of 1995 as discussed above. The increase in
interest income earned from  investments in 1995 as compared to 1994 is a result
of an increase in cash reserves available for investment.  Partially  offsetting
the  increase  in  interest  income in 1995 as compared to 1994 is a decrease in
interest  income  received on an account  receivable from a tenant at University
Business  Center Phase I due to its repayment in September  1994. The receivable
was the result of above standard tenant improvements made in accordance with the
lease  agreement.  The tenant  reimbursed the  Partnership for the cost of these
improvements along with interest.

Operating  expenses  increased  in 1996 as  compared  to 1995  due to  increased
expenses associated with fully furnished units at The Willows of Plainview Phase
II,  increased  legal fees at Lakeshore  Business Center Phase I, an increase in
vacant  suite  utilities at  Commonwealth  Business  Center Phase II,  increased
exterior  painting  costs at  University  Business  Center Phase I and increased
repairs  and  maintenance  costs at  Lakeshore  Business  Center  Phase II.  The
increase in operating  expenses is also the result of the Partnership  acquiring
an interest in the  Lakeshore/University  II Joint Venture in January 1995. (See
below for a discussion  regarding the Joint Venture.)  Partially  offsetting the
increase  in  operating  expenses  are  decreased  exterior  painting  costs and
decreased carpet and wallcovering  replacement costs at the Willows of Plainview
Phase II and decreased janitorial costs at University Business Center Phase II.

Operating  expenses  increased  from 1994 to 1995  primarily  as a result of the
Partnership's  interest in the L/U II Joint Venture. (See below for a discussion
regarding the Joint  Venture.)  The increase in operating  expenses from 1994 to
1995 is also a result of increased landscaping costs at all of the Partnership's
properties  and  increased  wallcovering  and  other  replacement  costs  at the
Partnership's  residential  property.   Partially  offsetting  the  increase  in
operating  expenses from 1994 to 1995 is an overall decrease in repair costs and
utility costs at the Partnership's commercial properties.

The increase in operating  expenses - affiliated from 1995 to 1996 and from 1994
to 1995 is due  primarily  to the  Partnership's  interest  in the L/U II  Joint
Venture (discussed below). Operating expenses - affiliated are expenses incurred
for services performed by employees of NTS Development  Company, an affiliate of
the General Partner of the Partnership.

The 1995 write-off of unamortized tenant  improvements was not significant.  The
1994 write-off of unamortized  tenant  improvements can be attributed  mainly to
University  Business  Center Phase I. At University  Business  Center Phase I, a
tenant expanded and renewed its lease through April 2001. The tenant expanded by
approximately 400 square feet for a total of approximately 3,900 square feet. No
additional  space was  available  adjacent  to the  tenant's  current  location;
therefore,  it was  necessary  to  relocate  the tenant to another  suite in the
business  center.  As a condition of the renewal and expansion,  the Partnership
agreed to renovate the new suite.  In order to complete the  renovation,  it was
necessary to replace  improvements  which had not been fully  depreciated.  This
resulted in a write-off  of  approximately  $31,000.  Changes to current  tenant
improvements are a typical part of any lease negotiation. Improvements generally
include a revision to the current floor plan to  accommodate  a tenant's  needs,
new  carpeting  and  paint  and/or  wallcovering.   In  order  to  complete  the
renovation,  it is sometimes  necessary to replace  improvements  which have not
been fully  depreciated.  This  results in a  write-off  of  unamortized  tenant
improvements.

- ----------------------------------

The 1996  write-off of  unamortized  loan costs  (recoreded as an  extraordinary
item) relates to loan costs  associated with the  Lakeshore/University  II Joint
Venture's  notes payable.  The  unamortized  loan costs were expensed due to the
fact that the notes were  retired in 1996 prior to their  maturity  (January 31,
1998). See the Liquidity and Capital  Resources section of this item for further
discussion.

The  decrease  in the  amortization  of  capitalized  leasing  costs for 1996 as
compared to 1995 is due to the fact that the costs  capitalized  during start-up
at  University  Business  Center Phase II became  fully  amortized at the end of
1995.

The increase in the amortization of capitalized  leasing costs from 1994 to 1995
is  primarily a result the  Partnership's  interest in the L/U II Joint  Venture
(discussed below).

Interest  expense has  decreased  in 1996 as compared to 1995  primarily  as the
result  of lower  interest  rates on the  permanent  financing  obtained  by the
Partnership in January 1996 (secured by University  Business  Center Phase I and
Commonwealth  Business Center Phase II) and obtained by the L/U II Joint Venture
in July 1996 (secured by the assets of the Joint Venture). See the Liquidity and
Capital  Resources  section  of this item for a  discussion  of these  permanent
financings.  The  decrease  in  interest  expense  is  partially  offset  by the
Partnership  acquiring  an interest in the L/U II Joint  Venture in January 1995
(discussed below).

The increase in interest  expense from 1994 to 1995 is primarily a result of the
Partnership's  interest  in the L/U II Joint  Venture  (discussed  below) and an
increase in the Prime Rate.

Management  fees are  calculated as a percentage of cash  collections;  however,
revenue  for  reporting  purposes  is on the  accrual  basis.  As a result,  the
fluctuations of revenues  between  periods will differ from the  fluctuations of
management  fee expense.  The increase in management  fees from 1995 to 1996 and
from  1994 to 1995  can  also be  attributed  to the  Partnership  acquiring  an
interest in the L/U II Joint Venture in January 1995 (discussed below).

The increase in real estate taxes from 1995 to 1996 is primarily a result of the
Partnership  acquiring  an interest in the L/U II Joint  Venture in January 1995
(discussed  below). The increase is also due to an increase in the 1996 property
tax  assessment for University  Business  Center Phase I and Lakeshore  Business
Center Phase I as compared to the 1995 assessment.

The increase in real estate taxes from 1994 to 1995 is primarily a result of the
Partnership's  interest  in the L/U II  Joint  Venture  (discussed  below).  The
increase  in real  estate  taxes from 1994 to 1995 is also due to an increase in
the 1995 property tax assessment for  Commonwealth  Business  Center Phase II as
compared to the 1994 assessment.

The decrease in professional  and  administrative  expenses from 1995 to 1996 is
due primarily to decreased outside legal fees and litigation  settlement expense
(see discussion below).

The increase in professional  and  administrative  expenses from 1994 to 1995 is
due  primarily to an increase in outside  legal fees and  litigation  settlement
expense. The litigation  originally instituted by an investor in the Partnership
against her  investment  advisor and  involving  claims  between the  investment
advisor and the  Partnership,  its general  partner and NTS-  Properties  IV, an
affiliate of the General Partner of the Partnership, and its general partner was
settled during 1995. At a settlement conference


                                     - 28 -

- ---------------------------------

before the Court (U.S.D.C., S.D. NY), the parties agreed on a confidential basis
to settle  the  litigation,  and any and all other  claims of the  Third-  Party
Plaintiffs in exchange for the payment by the Partnership and NTS- Properties IV
of certain monies without the admission of fault or wrongdoing.

Professional  and  Administrative  expenses - affiliated  increased from 1995 to
1996 as a result of increased  salary  costs.  Professional  and  administrative
expenses  -  affiliated  increased  from 1994 to 1995 as a result  of  increased
accounting  salaries and increased legal fees.  Professional and  administrative
expenses - affiliated are expenses incurred for services  performed by employees
of NTS Development, an affiliate of the General Partner.

Depreciation  and  amortization  expenses has  decreased  from 1995 to 1996 as a
result  of a  portion  of the  Partnership's  assets  (primarily  tenant  finish
improvements) having become fully depreciated.  The decrease in depreciation and
amortization is partially offset by the Partnership acquiring an interest in the
L/U II Joint Venture in January 1995 (discussed below). Depreciation is computed
using the  straight-line  method over the  estimated  useful lives of the assets
which are 10-30 years for land improvements,  30 years for buildings, 5-30 years
for building  improvements  and 5-30 years for amenities.  The aggregate cost of
the   Partnership's   properties  for  Federal  tax  purposes  is  approximately
$39,800,000.

Depreciation  and  amortization  expense  has  increased  from 1994 to 1995 as a
result of the  Partnership's  interest  in the L/U II Joint  Venture  (discussed
below). The increase in depreciation and amortization  expense from 1994 to 1995
is partially offset by a portion of the Partnership's assets having become fully
depreciated.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

Cash provided by operating activities was $919,765 (1996),  $562,363 (1995), and
$772,998 (1994).  In 1994 the funds, in conjunction with cash on hand, were used
to  make a .25%  (annualized)  cash  distribution  of  $78,637.  The  annualized
distribution   rate  is  calculated  as  a  percent  of  the  original   capital
contribution  less a return of  capital in the  amount of  $131.87  per  limited
partnership  unit made from the proceeds of the sale of Sabal Club Apartments in
1988. The limited  partners  received 99% and the general partner received 1% of
these distributions. No distribution was declared during the last nine months of
1994  and  all of 1995 as a  result  of a loan  covenant  (the  $6,402,000  note
payable)  which required the  Partnership to have $500,000  remaining in cash or
cash equivalents (excluding residential security deposits and cash escrowed with
a  lending   institution  for  the  payment  of  property  taxes)   following  a
distribution.  The note  payable  was  repaid in  January  1996 (see below for a
further  discussion).  No distribution was declared during 1996. The Partnership
plans to resume distributions once the Partnership has established adequate cash
reserves,  which would include funds for future tenant finish improvements,  and
the cash flow from  operations is sufficient,  in management's  opinion,  to pay
distributions.  Cash reserves  (which are  unrestricted  cash and equivalents as
shown on the Partnership's balance sheet at December 31) were $315,816, $218,331
and $207,600 at December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

The  primary  source of future  liquidity  and  distributions  is expected to be
derived from cash generated by the Partnership's  properties after adequate cash
reserves are  established  for future  leasing  costs,  tenant  finish costs and
capital improvements.

As  previously  disclosed  in the  Partnership's  Form  10-K for the year  ended
December  31,  1995,  on  January  23,  1995,  a  new  joint  venture  known  as
Lakeshore/University  II Joint  Venture (L/U II Joint  Venture) was formed among
the Partnership and  NTS-Properties  IV,  NTS-Properties  Plus Ltd. and NTS/Fort
Lauderdale,  Ltd.,  affiliates of the General  Partner of the  Partnership,  for
purposes  of  owning  Lakeshore  Business  Center  Phases  I and II,  University
Business  Center  Phase  II  and  certain  undeveloped  tracts  adjacent  to the
Lakeshore Business Center development.

The table below identifies which properties were contributed to the L/U II Joint
Venture and the respective  owners of such properties  prior to the formation of
the joint venture.

                                                 Properties Plus Ltd.

Each of the properties  were  contributed to the L/U II Joint Venture subject to
existing  indebtedness,  except for Lakeshore  Business Center Phase I which was
contributed to the joint venture free and clear of any mortgage  liens,  and all
such  indebtedness was assumed by the joint venture.  Mortgages were recorded on
Lakeshore  Business Center Phase I in the amount of $5,500,000 and on University
Business  Center  Phase II in the  amount of  $3,000,000,  in favor of the banks
which held the  indebtedness on University  Business Center Phase II,  Lakeshore
Business  Center Phase II and the  undeveloped  tracts prior to the formation of
the joint  venture.  In addition to the above,  NTS-  Properties IV  contributed
$750,000  to the L/U II Joint  Venture.  As a  result  of the  valuation  of the
properties  contributed to the L/U II Joint Venture,  the Partnership obtained a
69% partnership interest in the joint venture.

On January 29, 1996 the  Partnership  obtained  permanent  financing from a bank
totalling  $1,600,000  with $200,000 held for future  fundings.  The outstanding
balance at December 31, 1996 was $1,345,687. The note payable is due February 1,
2009,  bears interest at the Prime Rate and is secured by Commonwealth  Business
Center Phase II ("CBC II"). The remaining $200,000 will be disbursed by February
1, 1999 in one additional advance when the following  conditions are met: 1) CBC
II reaches a minimum  occupancy  of 75% based on leases  acceptable  to the bank
with a minimum term of not less than three  years,  2) CBC II achieves a minimum
gross monthly base rental  income of $37,500 for at least three  months,  3) the
Partnership  is not in  default  on the  loan and 4) the  bank  receives  tenant
estoppel certificates from the tenants of CBC II. Monthly principal payments are
based on a 13-year amortization  schedule. At maturity,  the note will have been
repaid based on the current rate of amortization.

On January 31,  1996,  the  Partnership  obtained  permanent  financing  from an
insurance company totalling $5,100,000.  The outstanding balance at December 31,
1996 was  $4,876,477.  The  mortgage  payable is due  February  1,  2008,  bears
interest at a fixed rate of 7.65% and is secured by University

Business  Center  Phase I.  Monthly  principal  payments  are based on a 12-year
amortization  schedule. At maturity, the mortgage will have been repaid based on
the current rate of amortization.

The proceeds of these permanent financings were used to retire the Partnership's
note payable, which had a balance of $6,352,000,  to fund loan closing costs and
to increase the Partnership's cash reserves.

On July 23, 1996, the L/U II Joint Venture obtained three mortgage loans from an
insurance company totalling $17,400,000 ($6,025,000, $5,775,000 and $5,600,000).
The  outstanding  balances  of the loans at December  31, 1996 were  $5,924,638,
$5,678,802,  and $5,506,719 respectively.  The loans are recorded as a liability
of the Joint  Venture.  The  Partnership's  proportionate  share in the loans at
December 31, 1996 was $4,101,627, $3,931,435, and $3,812,300,  respectively. The
mortgages  bear  interest at a fixed rate of 8.125%,  are due August 1, 2008 and
are secured by the assets of the Joint Venture.  Monthly principal  payments are
based upon a 12-year  amortization  schedule.  At maturity,  the loans will have
been repaid based on the current  rate of  amortization.  The proceeds  from the
loans were used to pay off the Joint  Venture's  notes payable of  approximately
$16.8  million  which  bore  interest  at a fixed rate of 10.6% and to fund loan
closing  costs  of  approximately  $280,000.  The  Partnership's   proportionate
interest in the notes that were paid-off was  approximately  $11,600,000 or 69%.
The notes  which were  paid-off  had a maturity  date of January 31,  1998.  The
remaining proceeds will be used to fund Joint Venture tenant finish improvements
and leasing costs.

As of December 31,  1996,  The Willows of  Plainview  Phase II, a joint  venture
between the Partnership and  NTS-Properties IV, had two mortgage loans each with
an insurance  company in the amount of $3,220,975 and $1,922,970.  The mortgages
are  recorded  as  a  liability  of  the  Joint   Venture.   The   Partnership's
proportionate  share of the  mortgages  as of December  31, 1996 was  $4,620,805
($2,893,401 and $1,727,404).  Both mortgages are due December 5, 2003, currently
bear interest at a fixed rate of 7.5% for the first 60 months and are secured by
the land,  buildings and amenities of the Joint Venture.  At the end of the 56th
month from the date of the notes, the insurance  companies will notify the Joint
Venture of the interest  rate which is their then  prevailing  interest rate for
loans with a term of five years on properties  comparable to the apartments (the
"Modified  Rate").  The Joint  Venture will have 30 days to accept or reject the
Modified Rate. If the Modified Rate is rejected by the Joint Venture, the entire
unpaid principal  balance is due with the 60th  installment of interest.  If the
Joint Venture  accepts the Modified  Rate,  it becomes  effective the 61st month
from the date of the notes.  (Notes dated  November 23, 1993).  Current  monthly
principal  payments  on both  mortgages  are based  upon a 27-year  amortization
schedule.  The  outstanding  balance at maturity  based on the  current  rate of
amortization would be $4,449,434 ($2,786,095 and $1,663,339).

The  majority  of  the  Partnership's   cash  flow  is  derived  from  operating
activities.  Cash  flows used in  investing  activities  are for  tenant  finish
improvements  and for  other  capital  additions  and are  funded  by  operating
activities and cash reserves.  Changes to current tenant finish improvements are
a  typical  part of any  lease  negotiation.  Improvements  generally  include a
revision  to the  current  floor  plan to  accommodate  a  tenant's  needs,  new
carpeting  and  paint  and/or  wallcovering.   The  extent  and  cost  of  these
improvements   are  determined  by  the  size  of  the  space  and  whether  the
improvements are for a new tenant or incurred  because of a lease renewal.  Cash
flows used in  investing  activities  in 1995 also  include cash which was being
escrowed for capital  expenditures,  leasing commissions and tenant improvements
at the  properties  owned by the L/U II Joint Venture as required by a 1995 loan
agreement.  Cash flows  provided by  investing  activities  were the result of a
release of these escrow funds.  Cash flows provided by financing  activities are
from  debt  refinancings   (discussed  above).  Cash  flows  used  in  financing
activities are for loan costs, principal payments on mortgages and notes payable
and repurchases of limited partnership Units.

Liquidity and Capital Resources - Continued
- -------------------------------------------

The capital contribution by a joint venture partner represents the Partnership's
interest in the L/U II Joint  Venture's  increase in cash which  resulted from a
capital contribution.  The Partnership utilizes the proportionate  consolidation
method of accounting for joint venture properties. The Partnership's interest in
the joint venture's assets,  liabilities,  revenues, expenses and cash flows are
combined  on  a  line-by-  line  basis  with  the   Partnership's   own  assets,
liabilities,  revenues, expenses and cash flows. The Partnership does not expect
any material  changes in the mix and relative cost of capital  resources  except
for  the  change  in the  cost  of  capital  resources  as a  result  of the new
financings  which  are  secured  by  Commonwealth   Business  Center  Phase  II,
University Business Center Phase I and the assets of the L/U II Joint Venture as
discussed above.

The table below  presents  that portion of the  distributions  that  represent a
return of capital on a Generally  Accepted  Accounting  Principle  basis for the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994.  Distribution were funded by cash

As of December  31, 1996 and 1995,  the  Partnership  has accrued  approximately
$155,000  (included in the accounts payable - construction  balance) for certain
improvements  to the  undeveloped  land plus  interest at the  University  Place
development.  The  purchaser  of the  approximately  1 acre tract of land at the
University Place  development has paid for the cost of these  improvements.  The
Partnership will reimburse the purchaser for these costs, along with interest at
the Prime Rate,  at the earlier of (1) the start of  construction  of University
Business Center Phase III, (2) the sale by the Partnership of any portion of the
remaining  undeveloped  land,  or (3) five years from the date of the  Agreement
(agreement dated November 1992).

The remaining  balance in accounts  payable - construction  at December 31, 1996
represents  payables  that are a result of tenant  finish  improvements.  Tenant
finish  improvements  are a typical part of any lease  negotiation.  None of the
Partnership's properties were in the construction stage as of December 31, 1996.

Philip Crosby Associates, Inc. ("Crosby") has leased 100% of University Business
Center Phase II. The original lease term is for seven years, and the tenant took
occupancy in April 1991.  During the years ended  December  31,  1994,  1995 and
1996, Crosby sub-leased a portion of the business center. Currently,  Crosby has
sub-leased,  through the end of their lease term,  approximately  81,000  square
feet  (including  approximately  10,000  square  feet  of  mezzanine  space)  of
University  Business Center Phase II's  approximately  88,000 square feet of net
rentable area (or 92%). Of the total being sub-

leased,  approximately  69,000 square feet (or 85%) is being leased by Full Sail
Recorders,  Inc.  ("Full Sail"),  a major tenant at University  Business  Center
Phase I. During 1994,  1995 and 1996,  Crosby  continued  to make rent  payments
pursuant to the original lease terms. The Joint Venture has received notice that
Crosby does not intend to pay full rental due under the original lease agreement
from and after January 1997.  The rental income from this property  accounts for
approximately  15% of the  partnership's  total revenues.  The Joint Venture has
instituted legal action to seek resolution of this situation. Although the Joint
Venture does not presently  have lease  agreements  (except as noted below) with
the sub-lessees  noted above,  beginning  February 1997 rent payments from these
sub-lessees  are being made directly to the Joint Venture.  The Joint Venture is
currently  negotiating  directly  with  the  sub-lessees  to  enter  into  lease
agreements for the space presently  sublet. At this time, the future leasing and
tenant  finish  costs which will be  required to release  this space are unknown
except as noted below for the negotiations with Full Sail.

In  December  1995,  Full  Sail  signed a 33 month  lease  with the L/U II Joint
Venture for  approximately  41,000  square  feet it  currently  sub-leases  from
Crosby. In November 1996, Full Sail signed a lease amendment which increased the
square  footage from 41,000  square feet to 48,000  square feet and extended the
lease term from 33 months to 76 months.  In November 1996, Full Sail also signed
a 52 month lease for the remaining approximately 21,000 square feet it presently
sub-leases  from Crosby.  Both lease terms  commence  April 1998 when the Crosby
lease ends. As part of the lease negotiations, Full Sail will receive a total of
$450,000 in special  tenant  allowances  ($200,000  resulting  from the original
lease signed  December  1995 and  $250,000  resulting  from the lease  amendment
signed  November  1996).  Approximately  $92,000 of the total allowance is to be
reimbursed  by  Full  Sail  to  the  L/U II  Joint  Venture.  The  Partnership's
proportionate   share  of  the  net   commitment   ($450,000  less  $92,000)  is
approximately  $247,000 or 69%. The tenant  allowance will be due and payable to
Full Sail pursuant to the previously mentioned lease agreements,  as appropriate
invoices for tenant finish costs  incurred by Full Sail are submitted to the L/U
II Joint Venture. The source of funds for this commitment is expected to be cash
flow from operations and/or cash reserves.

As of December 31, 1996, University Business Center Phase I has a commitment for
tenant  finish  improvements  of  approximately  $18,000  as a result of a lease
renewal. The renewal extends the lease for two years. The project is expected to
be  completed  during the first  quarter  of 1997.  The source of funds for this
project is expected to be cash flow from operations and/or cash reserves.

Subsequent  to December 31, 1996 the L/U II Joint  Venture made a commitment  of
approximately  $55,000 for tenant  finish  improvements  at  Lakeshore  Business
Center  Phase I as a result of a lease  renewal  and  expansion.  The  expansion
increased the tenant's current leased space by  approximately  2,000 square feet
and  the  renewal   extends  the  lease  for  five  years.   The   Partnership's
proportionate  share of the  commitment  is  approximately  $38,000 or 69%.  The
project is  expected  to be  completed  during the second  quarter of 1997.  The
source of funds for this  project is  expected  to be cash flow from  operations
and/or cash reserves.

The  Partnership  had no other material  commitments  for renovations or capital
improvements at December 31, 1996.

In the next 12 months, the demand on future liquidity is anticipated to increase
as a result of principal payments required by the new debt financings of the L/U
II Joint Venture and the commitments  made for a special tenant finish allowance
and tenant finish improvements (see above).  Additionally,  the Partnership will
continue  its  efforts  to lease  current  unoccupied  space  at its  commercial
properties.  The Partnership  also expects a demand on future liquidity based on
50,897 square feet in leases expiring during 1997 (Commonwealth  Business Center
Phase II - 28,108 square feet,

                                     - 33 -

University  Business  Center  Phase I - 2,400 square  feet,  Lakeshore  Business
Center  Phase I - 9,163  square feet and  Lakeshore  Business  Center Phase II -
11,226 square feet).  A demand on future  liquidity is also expected as a result
of the Crosby  situation  at  University  Business  Center  Phase II  (discussed
above).  At this time,  the future leasing and tenant finish costs which will be
required to renew the current leases or obtain new tenants are unknown.

On June 28, 1996, the Partnership  established an Interest Repurchase Reserve in
the amount of $50,000 pursuant to Section 16.4 of the Partnership's  Amended and
Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership.  Under Section 16.4, limited partners
may request the Partnership to repurchase their respective  interests (Units) in
the Partnership.  With this funding,  the Partnership was able to repurchase 370
Units at a price of $135 per Unit. The Partnership notified the limited partners
by letter dated February 1, 1996 of the establishment of the Interest Repurchase
Reserve and the opportunity to request that the Partnership  repurchase Units at
the established  price.  On August 30, 1996, the Partnership  elected to fund an
additional $50,000 to its Interest  Repurchase Reserve.  With this funding,  the
Partnership  was able to repurchase  an additional  370 Units at a price of $135
per Unit.  Through  December  31,  1996,  740 units  have been  repurchased  for
$99,900.  Repurchased Units are retired by the Partnership,  thus increasing the
share of  ownership  of each  remaining  investor.  The  Partnership  funded the
Interest  Repurchase  Reserve  from  cash  reserves.  The  Partnership  does not
anticipate making any additional  fundings to the Interest Repurchase Reserve in
the near term.

It is anticipated  that the cash flow from  operations and cash reserves will be
sufficient to meet the needs of the Partnership.

The following  describes the efforts being taken by the  Partnership to increase
the occupancy levels at the Partnership's  properties.  At Commonwealth Business
Center  Phase II, the leasing and  renewal  negotiations  are handled by leasing
agents, employees of NTS Development Company,  located in Louisville,  Kentucky.
The leasing agents are located in the same city as the property. All advertising
is  coordinated  by  NTS  Development   Company's  marketing  staff  located  in
Louisville,  Kentucky. At University Business Center Phases I and II in Orlando,
Florida,  the  Partnership  has an on-site  leasing  agent,  an  employee of NTS
Development  Company,  who makes calls to potential  tenants,  negotiates  lease
renewals with current tenants and manages local  advertising with the assistance
of the NTS  Development  Company's  marketing  staff.  The  leasing  and renewal
negotiations  at  Lakeshore  Business  Center  Phases I and II are  handled by a
leasing agent, an employee of NTS Development Company,  located at the Lakeshore
Business  Center  development.  At  the  Willows  of  Plainview  Phase  II,  the
Partnership has an on-site leasing staff,  employees of NTS Development Company,
who handle all  on-site  visits  from  potential  tenants,  make visits to local
companies to promote  fully  furnished  units,  negotiate  lease  renewals  with
current  residents and coordinate  all local  advertising  with NTS  Development
Company's marketing staff.

Leases  at the  Partnership's  commercial  properties  provide  for  tenants  to
contribute toward the payment of common area expenses, insurance and real estate
taxes.  Leases at the Partnership's  Florida commercial  properties also provide
for rent  increases  which are based upon increases in the consumer price index.
These  lease  provisions,  along  with  the fact  that  residential  leases  are
generally for a period of one year, should protect the Partnership's  operations
from the impact of inflation and changing prices.

The  Partnership  owns  approximately  6.21  acres  of  land,  adjacent  to  the
University Place development,  in Orlando, Florida which is zoned for commercial
development.  Included  in the  cost of  $2,279,098  is land  cost,  capitalized
interest and common area costs. The Partnership  plans to use the remaining land
to build University Business Center Phase III but this

decision  will be based on market  conditions,  availability  of  financing  and
availability of the necessary  resources from the  Partnership.  In management's
opinion, the net book value of the asset approximates its fair market value.

The L/U II Joint  Venture owns  approximately  6.2 acres of land adjacent to the
Lakeshore  Business  Center  development  in  Ft.   Lauderdale,   Florida.   The
Partnership's  proportionate interest at December 31, 1996 in the asset held for
sale is $1,152,868.  The contract for sale which was previously disclosed in the
Partnership's  From 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995 has been cancelled
by the  purchaser  due to the fact that  bids for  construction  exceeded  their
borrowing  potential.  The Joint Venture  continues to actively market the asset
for sale. In management's opinion, the net book value of the asset held for sale
approximates the fair market value less cost to sell.

Some of the statements included in Item 7, Management's  Discussion and Analysis
of  Financial  Condition  and Results of  Operations,  may be  considered  to be
"forward looking  statements" since such statements relate to matters which have
not yet occurred. For example,  phrases such as " the Partnership anticipates ",
"believes" or "expects" indicate that it is possible that the event anticipated,
believed or expected may not occur. Should such event not occur, then the result
which the  Partnership  expected also may occur or occur in a different  manner,
which may be more or less favorable to the Partnership. The Partnership does not
undertake  any  obligations  to publicly  release the result of any revisions to
these forward  looking  statements that may be made to reflect any future events
or circumstances.

Any forward-looking  statements included in Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial  Condition and Results of Operations,  or elsewhere in this report,
which reflect  management's best judgement based on factors known, involve risks
and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated
in any forward-looking  statements as a result of a number of factors, including
but not  limited  to those  discussed  below.  Any  forward-looking  information
provided by the  Partnership  pursuant to the safe harbor  established by recent
securities legislation should be evaluated in the context of these factors.

The Partnership's principal activity is the leasing and management of commercial
office  buildings,  business  centers  and  an  apartment  complex.  If a  major
commercial  tenant  or a large  number of  apartment  lessees  default  on their
leases,  the  Partnership's   ability  to  make  payments  due  under  its  debt
agreements,  payment of operating costs and other partnership  expenses would be
directly  impacted.  A lessee's  ability to make  payments  are subject to risks
generally  associated with real estate,  many of which are beyond the control of
the Partnership,  including general or local economic  conditions,  competition,
interest rates, real estate tax rates, other operating expenses and act of God.

A portion of the Partnership's debt service is based on variable interest rates,
any  fluctuations  in which are beyond the  control  of the  Partnership.  These
variances could, for example,  impact the Partnership's  projected cash flow and
cash  requirements  as well  as  ability  to pay  distributions  to the  limited
partners.

Item 8.  Financial Statements and Supplementary Data


                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To NTS-Properties V, a Maryland Limited Partnership:

We have audited the accompanying  balance sheets of NTS-Properties V, a Maryland
Limited  Partnership,  as of  December  31,  1996  and  1995,  and  the  related
statements of operations,  partners' equity and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1996. These financial  statements and the
schedules  referred  to  below  are  the  responsibility  of  the  Partnership's
management.  Our  responsibility  is to express  an  opinion on these  financial
statements and schedules based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the 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 financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material  respects,  the financial  position of NTS-Properties V, a Maryland
Limited  Partnership,  as of December 31, 1996 and 1995,  and the results of its
operations  and its cash flows for each of the three  years in the period  ended
December 31, 1996 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  schedules  included  on pages 56
through 58 are  presented  for purposes of  complying  with the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission's  rules and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements.  These  schedules  have been  subjected to the  auditing  procedures
applied in our audits of the basic  financial  statements  and, in our  opinion,
fairly state in all  material  respects the  financial  data  required to be set
forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

       C)    Allocation of Net Income (Loss) and Cash Distributions
             ------------------------------------------------------

             Operating  Net  Cash  Receipts,   as  defined  in  the  partnership
             agreement and which are made  available for  distribution,  will be
             distributed  1) 99% to the limited  partners  and 1% to the general
             partner until the limited partners have received their 8% Preferred
             Return as defined in the partnership  agreement;  2) to the general
             partner  in an amount  equal to  approximately  10% of the  limited
             partners 8% Preferred Return; 3) the remainder,  90% to the limited
             partners and 10% to the general partner.

             Net  operating  income  (loss),   exclusive  of  depreciation,   is
             allocated  to the  limited  partners  and the  general  partner  in
             proportion to their  respective cash  distributions.  Net operating
             income, exclusive of depreciation,  in excess of cash distributions
             shall be allocated as follows:  (1) pro rata to all partners with a
             negative  capital account in an amount to restore their  respective
             negative  capital account to zero; (2) 99% to the limited  partners
             and 1% to the  general  partner  until the  limited  partners  have

             original capital;  (3) the balance, 75% to the limited partners and
             25% to the general partner.  Depreciation  expense is allocated 99%
             to the limited partners and 1% to the general partner.

       D)    Tax Status
             ----------

             The  Partnership  has received a ruling from the  Internal  Revenue
             Service  stating that the  Partnership  is  classified as a limited
             partnership   for  federal  income  tax  purposes.   As  such,  the
             Partnership makes no provision for income taxes. The taxable income
             or  loss  is  passed  through  to the  holders  of the  partnership
             interests for inclusion on their individual income tax returns.

             A  reconciliation  of net loss  for  financial  statement  purposes
             versus that for income tax reporting is as follows:

1.     Significant Accounting Policies - Continued
       -------------------------------------------

       E)    Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
             -----------------------------------------------------------

             The   preparation  of  financial   statements  in  conformity  with
             generally accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management to
             make estimates and assumptions  that affect the reported amounts of
             assets and  liabilities  and  disclosure of  contingent  assets and
             liabilities  at  the  date  of the  financial  statements  and  the
             reported  amounts of revenues  and  expenses  during the  reporting
             period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

       F)    Joint Venture Accounting
             ------------------------

             The Partnership has adopted the proportionate  consolidation method
             of  accounting  for joint  venture  properties.  The  Partnership's
             proportionate  interest  in  the  venture's  assets,   liabilities,
             revenues,  expenses and cash flows are  combined on a  line-by-line
             basis with the  Partnership's  own assets,  liabilities,  revenues,
             expenses and cash flows. All intercompany accounts and transactions
             have been eliminated in consolidation.

             Proportionate  consolidation  is utilized by the Partnership due to
             the fact that the  ownership of the joint  venture  properties,  in
             substance,  is not subject to joint control.  The managing  general
             partners  of  the  sole  general   partner  of  the  NTS  sponsored
             partnerships which have formed joint ventures are substantially the
             same. As such, decisions regarding financing,  development, sale or
             operations  do not require  the  approval  of  different  partners.
             Additionally,   the  joint  venture  properties  are  in  the  same
             business/industry  as their  respective  joint venture partners and
             their asset,  liability,  revenue and expense  accounts  correspond
             with the accounts of such partner.  It is the belief of the general
             partner of the Partnership that the financial statement disclosures
             resulting  from  proportionate   consolidation  provides  the  most
             meaningful presentation of assets, liabilities,  revenues, expenses
             and cash flows for the years presented given the commonality of the
             Partnership operations.

       G)    Cash and Equivalents - Restricted
             ---------------------------------

             Cash and  equivalents - restricted  represents  funds  received for
             residential  security  deposits and funds which have been  escrowed
             with mortgage  companies for property taxes in accordance  with the
             loan agreements.

             Cash and  equivalents  -  restricted  at  December  31,  1995  also
             included  escrow  funds  which  were  to  be  released  as  capital
             expenditures,  leasing  commissions  and tenant  improvements  were
             incurred at the  properties  owned by the  Lakeshore/University  II
             Joint Venture. In 1996, these escrow funds were released.

       H)    Basis of Property and Depreciation
             ----------------------------------

             Land,   buildings   and   amenities  are  stated  at  cost  to  the
             Partnership.   Costs  directly  associated  with  the  acquisition,
             development  and   construction  of  a  project  are   capitalized.
             Depreciation  is computed using the  straight-line  method over the
             estimated  useful  lives of the assets  which are 10 - 30 years for
             land improvements, 5-30 years for building and improvements and 5 -
             30 years for amenities.

    -------------------------------------------

       H)    Basis of Property and Depreciation - Continued
             ----------------------------------------------

             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,  specifics  circumstances  in which
             certain long-lived assets must be reviewed for impairment.  If such
             review  indicates that the carrying  amount of an asset exceeds the
             sum of its expected future cash flows,  the asset's  carrying value
             must be written down to fair value.  Application  of this  standard
             during  the year  ended  December  31,  1996 did not  result  in an
             impairment loss.

       I)    Rental Income and Capitalized Leasing Costs
             -------------------------------------------

             Certain of the  Partnership's  lease  agreements for the commercial
             properties are  structured to include  scheduled and specified rent
             increases  over the lease term. For financial  reporting  purposes,
             the income from these leases is being recognized on a straight-line
             basis over the lease  term.  Accrued  income  connected  with these
             leases is included in accounts receivable and totalled $458,504 and
             $682,189 as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

             All  commissions  paid to commercial  leasing agents and incentives
             paid to tenants are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis
             over the  applicable  lease term. In addition,  certain other costs
             associated  with initial  leasing of the properties are capitalized
             and amortized over a five year period.

       J)    Advertising
             -----------

             The  Partnership  expenses   advertising-type  costs  as  incurred.
             Advertising  expense was immaterial to the  Partnership  during the
             years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994.

       K)    Statements of Cash Flows
             ------------------------

             For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and equivalents  include
             cash on hand and short-term, highly liquid investments with initial
             maturities of three months or less.

       L)    Reclassifications of 1995 and 1994 Financial Statements
             -------------------------------------------------------

             Certain  reclassifications  have been made to the December 31, 1995
             and 1994  financial  statements  to conform with  December 31, 1996
             classifications.   These   reclassifications   have  no  effect  on
             previously reported operations.

2.     Concentration of Credit Risk
       ----------------------------

       NTS-Properties  V owns and operates or has a joint venture  investment in
       commercial  properties in Kentucky  (Louisville) and Florida (Orlando and
       Ft. Lauderdale). Substantially all of the tenants are local businesses or
       are businesses  which have operations in the location in which they lease
       space.  The  Partnership  also  has  a  joint  venture  investment  in  a
       residential  property in  Louisville,  Kentucky.  The  apartment  unit is
       generally the principal residence of the tenant.

 3.    Investment in Joint Ventures
       ----------------------------


       A)    NTS Willows Phase II Joint Venture
             ----------------------------------

             In 1984,  the  Partnership  entered into a joint venture  agreement
             with  NTS-Properties IV, an affiliate of the General Partner of the
             Partnership,  to develop and construct a 144 unit luxury  apartment
             complex on an 8.29-acre site in  Louisville,  Kentucky known as The
             Willows of Plainview Phase II.  NTS-Properties  IV contributed land
             valued at $800,000 and the  Partnership  contributed  approximately
             $7,455,000,  the  construction  and carrying costs of the apartment
             complex.  The project was  completed in August 1985.  Net income or
             net loss is allocated each calendar quarter based on the respective
             partnership's  contribution.  The Partnership's ownership share was
             90% at December  31,  1996.  The  Partnership's  share of the joint
             venture's net operating  income was $61,658  (1996),  $39,402(1995)
             and $77,452 (1994).

       B)    NTS Ft. Lauderdale Office Joint Venture
             ---------------------------------------

             In 1985,  the  Partnership  entered into a joint venture  agreement
             with   NTS-Properties  IV  to  develop  an  approximately   103,000
             square-foot  commercial business center known as Lakeshore Business
             Center Phase I, located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

             NTS-Properties  IV  contributed  land valued at $1,752,982  and the
             Partnership contributed approximately $9,170,000,  the construction
             and carrying  costs of the business  center.  The net income or net
             loss is allocated  each calendar  quarter  based on the  respective
             partnership's  contribution.  The Partnership's  share of the joint
             venture's  net  operating  income was  $10,809  (1995) and  $93,602
             (1994).

             On January 23, 1995, the partners of the NTS Ft.  Lauderdale Office
             Joint Venture contributed  Lakeshore Business Center Phase I to the
             newly formed  Lakeshore/University II (L/U II) Joint Venture. Refer

       of land adjacent to the University Place development in Orlando,  Florida

       costs. The Partnership plans to use the land to build University Business

11.    Commitments and Contingencies
       -----------------------------

       Philip Crosby Associates,  Inc.  ("Crosby") has leased 100% of University
       Business Center Phase II. The original lease term is for seven years, and
       the tenant took occupancy in April 1991.  During the years ended December
       31,  1994,  1995 and 1996,  Crosby  sub-leased  a portion of the business
       center. Currently, Crosby has sub-leased,  through the end of their lease
       term,  approximately  81,000 square feet (including  approximately 10,000
       square feet of mezzanine space) of University  Business Center Phase II's
       approximately  88,000  square feet of net rentable  area (or 92%). Of the
       total  being  sub-leased,  approximately  69,000  square feet (or 85%) is
       being leased by Full Sail Recorders,  Inc. ("Full Sail"),  a major tenant
       at University Business Center Phase I. During 1994, 1995 and 1996, Crosby
       continued to make rent payments pursuant to the original lease terms. The
       Joint Venture has received notice that Crosby does not intend to pay full
       rental due under the  original  lease  agreement  from and after  January
       1997. The rental income from this property accounts for approximately 15%
       of the  partnership's  total  revenues.  The Joint Venture has instituted
       legal action to seek  resolution  of this  situation.  Although the Joint
       Venture does not presently have lease agreements  (except as noted below)
       with the sub-lessees noted above,  beginning  February 1997 rent payments
       from these sub-lessees are being made directly to the Joint Venture.  The
       Joint Venture is currently  negotiating  directly with the sub-lessees to
       enter into lease agreements for the space presently sublet. At this time,
       the future  leasing  and tenant  finish  costs  which will be required to
       release this space are unknown except as noted below for the negotiations
       with Full Sail.

       In December 1995, Full Sail signed a 33 month lease with the L/U II Joint
       Venture for approximately 41,000 square feet it currently sub-leases from
       Crosby.  In  November  1996,  Full Sail  signed a lease  amendment  which
       increased  the square  footage from 41,000  square feet to 48,000  square
       feet and extended the lease term from 33 months to 76 months. In November
       1996,  Full  Sail  also  signed  a  52  month  lease  for  the  remaining
       approximately  21,000  square feet it presently  sub-leases  from Crosby.
       Both lease terms  commence April 1998 when the Crosby lease ends. As part
       of the lease negotiations,  Full Sail will receive a total of $450,000 in
       special  tenant  allowances  ($200,000  resulting from the original lease
       signed  December  1995 and $250,000  resulting  from the lease  amendment
       signed November 1996). Approximately $92,000 of the total allowance is to
       be reimbursed by Full Sail to the L/U II Joint Venture. The Partnership's
       proportionate  share of the net  commitment  ($450,000  less  $92,000) is
       approximately  $247,000  or 69%.  The  tenant  allowance  will be due and
       payable  to  Full  Sail  pursuant  to  the  previously   mentioned  lease
       agreements,  as appropriate  invoices for tenant finish costs incurred by
       Full Sail are submitted to the L/U II Joint Venture.  The source of funds
       for this  commitment is expected to be cash flow from  operations  and/or
       cash reserves.

11.    Commitments and Contingencies - Continued
       -----------------------------------------

       Prior to December 31, 1996, the Partnership received notice that a tenant
       occupying  approximately  30% of Commonwealth  Business Center Phase II's
       net rentable  square feet will vacate the  business  center at the end of
       the lease term. The Partnership  will actively seek new tenants to occupy
       the  vacant  space.  At this  time,  the  extent  and cost of the  tenant
       improvements  which will be  required  to  attract  new  tenants  remains
       unknown.
