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.

           constructed by the Partnership.

        -  A joint  venture  interest  in The Willows of  Plainview  Phase II, a
           144-unit luxury  apartment  complex located in Louisville,  Kentucky,
           constructed  by the joint venture  between the  Partnership  and NTS-
           Properties   IV,  an  affiliate   of  the  General   Partner  of  the
           Partnership.  The  Partnership's  percentage  interest  in the  joint
           venture was 90% at December 31, 1997.

        -  A joint venture interest in the Lakeshore/University II Joint Venture
           (L/U  II  Joint  Venture).  The  L/U II  Joint Venture was formed  on

           Properties Plus Ltd. and NTS/Fort Lauderdale, Ltd., affiliates of the
           General  Partner  of  the  Partnership.  The Partnership's percentage

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, 1997 was $1,278,251 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.

funding  from the above note  payable in  accordance  with the terms of the loan
agreement.

University  Business  Center Phase I is encumbered  by a mortgage  payable to an
insurance company.  The outstanding balance of the mortgage at December 31, 1997
was  $4,588,807.  The mortgage is due  February 1, 2008 and bears  interest at a

$5,100,000  ($3,193,000  and  $1,907,000).  The  mortgages  are  recorded  as  a
liability of the Joint Venture. The Partnership's  proportionate interest in the

               at 12/31/97                 Encumbered Property
              ------------                 -------------------

               $ 5,606,774                 Lakeshore Business Center Phase II

               $ 5,374,127                 University Business Center Phase II

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")  previously leased 100% of University
Business Center Phase II, which is owned by the Lakeshore/University II (L/U II)
Joint Venture.  The original lease term was for seven years, and the tenant took
occupancy in April 1991. During 1994, 1995 and 1996, Crosby sub-leased,  through
the end of  their  lease  term,  approximately  85,000  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
96%). Of the total being sub-leased,  approximately  73,000 square feet (or 86%)
was  leased  by Full Sail  Recorders,  Inc.  ("Full  Sail"),  a major  tenant at
University Business Center Phase I, a neighboring property owned by an affiliate
of the  General  Partner of the  Partnership.  During  this  period and  through
December 1996,  Crosby continued to make rent payments  pursuant to the original
lease terms.  During 1996, the Joint Venture received notice that Crosby did not
intend to pay full rental due under the original lease agreement,  including and
subsequent to January 1997. The Partnership's  proportionate share of the rental
income from this property  accounted for  approximately 15% of the partnership's
total revenues during 1996. Although the Joint Venture did not have formal lease
agreements  with the  sub-lessees  noted  above  during this  period,  beginning
February 1997 rent payments  from these  sub-lessees  have been made directly to
the Joint Venture.

During 1997,  Crosby  abandoned its business,  sold all or most of its operating
assets and informed the Joint Venture that Crosby may be  insolvent.  During the
third  quarter of 1997,  a  conditional  settlement  was  reached at a mediation
conference with Crosby and its corporate parent,  whereby,  subject to the Joint
Venture's acceptance of the settlement terms, the corporate parent agreed to pay
a portion of Crosby's liability to the Joint Venture in full satisfaction of all
claims  against Crosby and any of its  affiliates.  During the fourth quarter of
1997, the L/U II Joint Venture  informed Crosby and its corporate parent that it
accepted the terms of the conditional  settlement,  whereby Crosby's parent paid
to the L/U II Joint  Venture  the sum of $300,000  in full  satisfaction  of all
claims.  These funds were  received  by the L/U II Joint  Venture on October 23,
1997. The  Partnership's  proportionate  share of the settlement was $207,000 or
69%. The amount of the  settlement  was  substantially  less than the  aggregate
liability of Crosby to the Joint Venture  resulting from Crosby's  default under
its lease.  This deficit is partially offset by the rent payments  received from
the sub-lessees, as discussed above.

In  December  1995,  Full  Sail  signed a 33 month  lease  with the L/U II Joint
Venture for  approximately  41,000  square feet it  sub-leased  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 addition, in November 1996, Full Sail

                                      - 5 -

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

also signed a 52 month lease for an additional  approximately 21,000 square feet
of space it sub-leased from Crosby.  Both leases aggregate 69,000 square feet or
78% of the business  center's net rentable area and commence April 1998 when the
Crosby  original lease term 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
pursuant to the lease terms. 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 .

The Joint Venture is currently  negotiating  directly with the other  sublessees
discussed  above to enter into leases for the  remaining  space  available.  The
future  leasing and tenant  finish  costs which will be required to release this
space is unknown at this time but is not expected to be substantial.

As of December 31, 1997,  Commonwealth Business Center Phase II had a commitment
for tenant finish  improvements of  approximately  $150,000 as a result of a new
five-year lease for approximately 8,000 square feet . The project is expected to
be  completed  during the first  quarter  of 1998.  The source of funds for this
project is the $200,000 loan proceeds discussed above.

The  Partnership  had no other material  commitments  for renovations or capital
improvements as of December 31, 1997.

On December 21, 1997,  Willows of Plainview Phase II obtained two mortgage loans
from insurance  companies totaling $5,100,000  ($3,193,000 and $1,907,000).  The
outstanding  balances of the loans at  December  31,  1997 were  $3,193,000  and
$1,907,000,   respectively,   for  a  total  of  $5,100,000.  The  Partnership's
proportionate  interest in the loans at December  31,  1997 was  $2,871,146  and
$1,714,774, respectively, for a total of $4,585,920. The mortgages bear interest
at a fixed rate of 7.2%,  are due  January 5, 2013 and are secured by the assets
of the Joint  Venture.  Monthly  principal  payments  are  based  upon a 15-year
amortization schedule. At maturity, the loans will have been repaid based on the
current rate of  amortization.  The proceeds were used to pay off the property's
mortgages  payable of  approximately  $5,070,000  which bore interest at a fixed
rate of 7.5% and to fund loan closing  costs.  The  Partnership's  proportionate
interest in the notes which were paid off was  approximately  $4,563,500 or 90%.
The notes which were paid off had a maturity date of December 5, 2003.

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

                                      - 6 -

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.  See below for a  further  discussion  regarding  the
possible sale of University Business Center Phases I and II and Phase III vacant
land.

On December 30, 1997, Full Sail delivered written notice to the Partnership that
Full Sail had (i)  exercised  its right of first  refusal  under its lease  with
NTS-Properties V to purchase  University Business Center Phase I office building
and the Phase  III  vacant  land  adjacent  to the  University  Business  Center
development,  and (ii) exercised its right of first refusal under its lease with
NTS University  Boulevard Joint Venture to purchase  University  Business Center
Phase II  office  building,  for an  aggregate  purchase  price for all three of
$18,700,000.  At December 31, 1997,  the carrying  value of University  Business
Center  Phase I and Phase III vacant  land is  approximately  $6,000,000  and is
encumbered  by a mortgage of  $4,588,807  and the carrying  value of  University
Business  Center Phase II is  approximately  $7,500,000  and is  encumbered by a
mortgage of $5,374,127. Full Sail exercised its right of first refusal under the
leases in response to a letter of intent to purchase University I, University II
and the Phase III land which was previously  received by the Partnership from an
unaffiliated  buyer.  Under its right of first refusal,  Full Sail must purchase
the properties on the same terms and conditions as contemplated by the letter of
intent.  Full  Sail  agreed in its  notice  to the  Partnership  to  proceed  to
negotiate in good faith a definitive  purchase  agreement for these  properties.
Because no binding  agreement  exists for the purchase of the properties at this
time,  there can be no  assurance  that a mutual  agreement of purchase and sale
will be reached among the parties,  nor that the sale of the properties  will be
consummated. As such, the Partnership has not determined the use of net proceeds
after repayment of outstanding debt from any such sale nor has it determined the
impact on the future results of operations or financial position. The University
II office  building is owned by the L/U II Joint  Venture,  the successor to the
NTS University  Boulevard  Joint Venture,  in which the  Partnership  owns a 69%
joint  venture  interest.  Under the terms of the  right of first  refusal,  the
closings of the sale of  University  I,  University  II and the Phase III vacant
land are to occur simultaneously.

may be insolvent.  During the fourth  quarter of 1997,  the L/U II Joint Venture
accepted  $300,000  from Crosby's  parent  company in full  satisfaction  of all
claims  (Partnership's  proportionate  share is $207,000 or 69%). As of December
31, 1997,  approximately  85,000 square feet of the business  center  (including
approximately 10,000 square feet of mezzanine space) is occupied by four tenants
who previously had sub-leases  with Crosby.  Sub-lease base annual rents,  which
exclude the cost of utilities,  currently  range from $8.89 to $11.70 per square
foot for first floor  office  space,  first floor  service  space,  second floor
office space and mezzanine  space.  The average base annual rental for all types
of space sublet as of December 31, 1997 was $10.24.  Commencing  February  1997,
these   tenants  began  making  lease   payments,   pursuant  to  the  sub-lease
arrangements  with  Crosby,  directly  to the  Joint  Venture.  The  sub-tenants
occupying  University Business Center Phase II are professional service oriented
organizations. The principal occupations/professions practiced include an

than  10%  of  University  Business  Center  II's  rentable  area (1): U.S. Home
Corporation (11.7%) and Full Sail Recorders, Inc.(80.9%).   The occupancy levels
at  the  business  center as of December 31 were 99% (1997 and 1996), 95% (1995)

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,
1997.

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,  1997  is  $5,100,000
($3,193,000  and  $1,907,000).  The mortgages are recorded as a liability of the
Joint  Venture.  The  Partnership's  proportionate  interest in the mortgages at
December 31, 1997 is $4,585,920  ($2,871,146  and  $1,714,774).  Both  mortgages
currently  bear  interest  at a fixed rate of 7.2% and are due  January 5, 2013.
Monthly principal payments are based upon a fifteen-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 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, 1997.

The  Partnership  had no liability for funding losses of the joint venture as of
December 31, 1997.

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  $8,000,000. 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 approximate  $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 the  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 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  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:

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

The loans are recorded as a liability of the Joint  Venture.  The  Partnership's
proportionate  interest  in the  loans  at  December  31,  1997  is  $11,209,843
($3,881,569,  $3,720,508 and $3,607,766). 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, 1997.

The  Partnership  had no liability for funding losses of the joint venture as of
December 31, 1997.

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, 1997, 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  of  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 $352,933
for the year ended  December 31, 1997.  $291,716  was received  from  commercial
properties and $61,217 was received from the  residential  property.  The fee is
equal  to 6% of  gross  revenues  from  commercial  properties  and 5% of  gross
revenues from residential properties.

<PAGE>



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

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  canceled.  The  Agreement  is subject to
cancellation by either party upon sixty days written notice.  As of December 31,
1997, 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.

Employees
- ---------

The  Partnership  has no  employees;  however,  employees of an affiliate of the
General  Partner are  available  to perform  services for the  Partnership.  The
Partnership  reimburses  this  affiliate for the actual costs of providing  such
services.

           Partner Matters
           ---------------

There is no established  trading market for the limited  partnership  interests,
nor is one likely to develop.  The Partnership had 2,699 limited  partners as of
March 6, 1998. Cash  distributions and allocations of net income (loss) are made
as described in Note 1C to the Partnership's 1997 financial statements.

No distributions  were paid during 1997, 1996 or 1995.  Quarterly  distributions
are  determined  based on current cash  balances,  cash flow being  generated by
operations  and cash reserves  needed for future  leasing  costs,  tenant finish
costs, and capital improvements.

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

The 6% decrease in year-ending  occupancy at Commonwealth  Business Center Phase
II  from  1996  to  1997  is the  result  of  three  tenant  move-outs  totaling
approximately  21,600 square feet. The three tenants vacated at the end of their
lease terms.  Partially  offsetting  the move-outs are five new leases  totaling
approximately 18,100 square feet. Average occupancy decreased from 77% (1996) to
74% (1997).  The  increase in rental and other income at  Commonwealth  Business
Center Phase II for 1997 as compared to 1996 is primarily  due to an increase in
pass through income and a decrease in the provision for bad debt. Increased pass
through income is a result of additional  services,  such as  janitorial,  being
provided to an  approximately  14,000 square foot tenant.  Reimbursement  to the
Partnership  by the tenant is in  accordance  with the lease  terms.  Tenants in
business  centers are generally  responsible  for  obtaining and managing  these
types of services  themselves.  The  increase in rental and other  income at the
business  center  from 1997 to 1996 is  partially  offset  by the  effect of the
decrease in average occupancy.

As of December 31, 1997, Commonwealth Business Center Phase II had an additional
8,037 square feet leased.  The new tenant took occupancy  during  February 1998.
Also at December 31, 1997, the business center had a second new lease signed for
2,029 square feet. The new tenant took occupancy  during January 1998.  With the
new leases,  the business  center's  occupancy  should improve to 95% during the
first quarter of 1998. See the Liquidity and Capital  Resources  section of this
item for the tenant finish commitment relating to the new leases.

The 17% increase in year-ending  occupancy at Commonwealth Business Center Phase
II from 1995 to 1996 is a result of two new leases totaling 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 totaling  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.

The 2% increase in year-ending  occupancy at University  Business Center Phase I
from 1996 to 1997 is the result of an  expansion  lease of  approximately  1,400
square feet by a current tenant. Average occupancy at University Business Center
Phase I increased  from 96% (1996) to 100%  (1997).  The  increase in rental and
other income is primarily due to the increase in average occupancy.

The 3% increase in year-ending  occupancy at University  Business Center Phase I
from 1995 to 1996 is a result of three new leases totaling  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.

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

The Willows of Plainview  Phase II's  year-ending  occupancy  decreased from 92%
(1996) to 90% (1997) and average  occupancy at The Willows of Plainview Phase II
decreased from 95% (1996) to 91% (1997).  In the opinion of the General  Partner
of the  Partnership,  the  decrease  in  occupancy  from  1996 to 1997 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 Willow of  Plainview  Phase II from 1996 to 1997 is a result
of 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.  Therefore,  it is  possible  for  occupancy  to  decrease  and
revenues to increase when the number of fully furnished units has increased.

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 from 92% (1995) to 95% (1996). The increase in rental and other income
at The  Willows  of  Plainview  Phase II from  1995 to 1996 is a  result  of the
increase in average  occupancy,  an increase in rental  rates and an increase in
income from fully-furnished units.

The 4% increase in year-ending  occupancy at Lakeshore  Business  Center Phase I
from 1996 to 1997 can be  attributed to four new leases  totaling  approximately
6,400  square feet and an expansion  by a current  tenant of its existing  space
totaling  approximately 2,100 square feet.  Partially  offsetting the new leases
are three  tenants  vacating  prior to the end of the lease  term - one due to a
downsizing  decision by the tenant's  parent company (1,200 square feet - tenant
paid the L/U II Joint  Venture  a lease  termination  fee  [recorded  as  rental
income] of approximately  $7,000 of which the Partnership's  proportionate share
is $4,800 or 69%),  one due to a  decision  by  management  to allow a tenant to
terminate  its lease early to  accommodate  a new long term tenant (1,900 square
feet - tenant paid the L/U II Joint Venture a lease termination fee [recorded as
rental income] of approximately $5,000 of which the Partnership's  proportionate
share is $3,500 or 69%),  and one due to a  decision  by  management  to allow a
tenant to terminate its lease early at Lakeshore  Business Center Phase I (1,300
square feet) and move into increased square footage at Lakeshore Business Center
Phase II. Also partially  offsetting the new leases is a reduction of 466 square
feet by a current tenant of its existing space.  Average  occupancy at Lakeshore
Business  Center Phase I decreased  from 97% in 1996 to 96% in 1997.  Rental and
other income at Lakeshore  Business  Center Phase I increased  from 1996 to 1997
primarily  as a result of an  increase in common  area  expense  reimbursements.
Tenants at the  business  center  reimburse  the  Partnership  for  common  area
expenses as part of the lease agreements.

Year-ending  occupancy at Lakeshore  Business  Center Phase I remained  constant
(92%) from 1995 to 1996. Six new leases totaling  10,600 square feet,  including
approximately 3,400 square feet in expansions by two current tenants, are offset
by five tenant  move-outs  totaling  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
with these leases was not significant.  Average occupancy at Lakeshore  Business
Center  Phase I  increased  from 84% in 1995 to 97% in 1996.  Rental  and  other
income at Lakeshore  Business  Center  Phase I increased  from 1995 to 1996 as a
result of the  increase in average  occupancy.  The increase in rental and other
income is also due to the fact that the Partnership acquired an interest in

Lakeshore  Business  Center  Phase I as a result of the  formation of the L/U II
Joint Venture in January 1995.  (See below for a discussion  regarding the Joint
Venture).

Year-ending  occupancy at Lakeshore  Business Center Phase II increased from 89%
(1996)  to 100%  (1997) as a result of five new  leases  totaling  approximately
16,000 square feet which includes an  approximately  1,800 square foot expansion
by Lambda Physik,  a current  tenant.  Lambda Physik leases nearly 12,700 square
feet and has become the largest tenant in the building  occupying  approximately
13% of the building's total rentable square feet.  Partially  offsetting the new
leases is one tenant  move-out,  at the end of the lease term, of  approximately
4,800 square feet.  Average  occupancy  at  Lakeshore  Business  Center Phase II
increased from 80% (1996) to 94% (1997). The increase in rental and other income
at Lakeshore Business Center Phase II from 1996 to 1997 is primarily a result of
the  increase  in average  occupancy  and an  increase  in common  area  expense
reimbursements.

Year-ending  occupancy at Lakeshore  Business Center Phase II increased from 72%
(1995)  to 89%  (1996)  as a result of five new  leases  totaling  approximately
19,200 square feet which includes  approximately 7,000 square feet in expansions
by two current  tenants.  Partially  offsetting the new leases and expansions is
one tenant move-out totaling 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 1995 and 1996 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.)

Philip Crosby Associates,  Inc. ("Crosby")  previously leased 100% of University
Business  Center Phase II. The original lease term was for seven years,  and the
tenant  took  occupancy  in April  1991.  As a result of Crosby  downsizing  and
sub-leasing  a portion of its leased  space,  occupancy  has  decreased.  During
January 1997,  Crosby  vacated the  remaining  space it occupied at the business
center. See below for a further discussion of Crosby and its leased space.

The decrease in rental and other income at University  Business  Center Phase II
from  1996 to 1997 is due to the  following.  Through  the end of  1996,  Crosby
continued  to make rent  payments  pursuant to the original  lease term.  During
1996, the Joint Venture  received  notice that Crosby did not intend to pay full
rental due under the lease  agreement from and after January 1997.  Although the
Joint Venture does not presently have lease  agreements  (except as noted below)
with Crosby's sub-tenants,  beginning February 1997, rent payments from Crosby's
sub-tenants (see discussion below) are being made directly to the Joint Venture,
which are substantially less than what Crosby owed. Currently, the Joint Venture
is  recognizing  income  to the  extent  of what is  being  collected  from  the
sub-tenants.  The  decrease  in rental and other  income is also due to the fact
that approximately $70,000 of accrued income connected with the Crosby lease was
written-off  during  the  first  quarter  of 1997,  of which  the  Partnership's
proportionate share is approximately $48,000 or 69%.

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

The  Partnership's  proportionate  share  of the  rental  and  other  income  at
University  Business  Center Phase 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.

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 and 1995.
During 1997,  $300,000 was  collected  from Philip  Crosby  Associates,  Inc., a
former tenant at University  Business Center Phase II. The  Partnership's  share
was $207,000 or 69%. See below for a further discussion of this matter.

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.

The increase in interest  and other  income from 1996 to 1997 is  primarily  the
result of an insurance claim reimbursement for roof damage exceeding the cost to
repair the roof at The Willows of Plainview Phase II.

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.

Operating  expenses  increased  in 1997 as  compared  to 1996  due to  increased
expenses  associated with fully  furnished  units and increased  advertising and
landscaping  costs at The Willows of Plainview  Phase II,  increased  janitorial
costs  at all of  the  Partnership's  commercial  properties  except  University
Business Center Phase II,  increased  replacement  costs at University  Business
Center Phase I, and increased  utility costs at Lakeshore  Business Center Phase
I.  Partially  offsetting  the  increase in  operating  expenses  are  decreased
exterior  painting costs at University  Business Center Phase I, decreased legal
expenses  at  Lakeshore  Business  Center I and  decreased  janitorial  costs at
University Business Center Phase II.

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 utility costs 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.

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

The  increase  in  operating  expenses  -  affiliated  from  1996 to 1997 is due
primarily  to  the  increase  in  leasing  and  property   management  costs  at
Commonwealth  Business Center Phase II, increased  property  management costs at
Lakeshore  Business  Center Phases I and II, and The Willows of Plainview  Phase
II.

The  increase  in  operating  expenses  -  affiliated  from  1995 to 1996 is due
primarily to the  Partnership's  acquisition  of an 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.
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 need, 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 1997 write-off of unamortized loan costs (recorded as an extraordinary item)
relates to loan costs  associated with The Willows of Plainview Phase II's notes
payable. The unamortized loan costs were expensed due to the fact that the notes
were retired in 1997 prior to their maturity (December 5, 2003).

The 1996 write-off of unamortized loan costs (recorded 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 change in the amortization of capitalized leasing costs for 1997 as compared
to 1996 was not  significant.  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.

Interest  expense  has  decreased  in 1997 as  compared  to 1996  and 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
from 1995 to 1996 is partially  offset by the Partnership  acquiring an interest
in the L/U II Joint Venture in January 1995 (discussed below).

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 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 1996 to 1997 is primarily  the result of
an increase in the 1997 property tax assessments  for Lakeshore  Business Center
Phases I and II as compared to the 1996 assessment.  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 change in professional and administrative expenses from 1996 to 1997 was not
significant.  The decrease in professional and administrative expenses from 1995
to  1996 is due  primarily  to  decreased  outside  legal  fees  and  litigation
settlement expense.  The litigation was 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  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 1996 to
1997 and from 1995 to 1996 as a result of increased  salary costs.  Professional
and  administrative  expenses - affiliated  are  expenses  incurred for services
performed by employees of NTS Development, an affiliate of the General Partner.

The change in depreciation  and  amortization  expense from 1996 to 1997 was not
significant.  Depreciation and amortization  expense 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 $40,000,000.

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

Cash provided by operating activities was $1,666,522 (1997), $919,765 (1996) and
$562,363 (1995).  No distribution was declared during 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 distributions were declared during
1996 or 1997. 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 $473,362, $315,816 and $218,331 at December 31, 1997, 1996 and
1995, 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
totaling  $1,600,000  with $200,000  held for future  funding.  The  outstanding
balance at December 31, 1997 was $1,278,251. 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.

Subsequent to December 31, 1997, the Partnership received the additional funding
of  $200,000.  The  proceeds  will  be  used  to  fund  tenant  improvements  at
Commonwealth Business Center Phase II.

On January 31,  1996,  the  Partnership  obtained  permanent  financing  from an
insurance company totaling  $5,100,000.  The outstanding balance at December 31,
1997 was  $4,588,807.  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  ($1,600,000  less  $200,000  and
$5,100,000)  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 totaling $17,400,000 ($6,025,000,  $5,775,000 and $5,600,000).
The  outstanding  balances  of the loans at December  31, 1997 were  $5,606,774,
$5,374,127,  and $5,211,275 respectively.  The loans are recorded as a liability
of the Joint  Venture.  The  Partnership's  proportionate  share in the loans at
December 31, 1997 was $3,881,569, $3,720,508, and $3,607,766,  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
$16,800,000  which bore  interest at a fixed rate of 10.6% and 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.

On December 21, 1997,  Willows of Plainview Phase II obtained two mortgage loans
from insurance  companies totaling $5,100,000  ($3,193,000 and $1,907,000).  The
outstanding  balances of the loans at  December  31,  1997 were  $3,193,000  and
$1,907,000,   respectively,   for  a  total  of  $5,100,000.   The   Partnership
proportionate  interest in the loans at December  31,  1997 was  $2,871,146  and
$1,714,774, respectively, for a total of $4,585,920. The mortgages bear interest
at a fixed  rate of 7.2%,  and are due  January  5, 2013 and are  secured by the
assets  of the Joint  Venture.  Monthly  principal  payments  are  based  upon a
fifteen-year amortization schedule. At maturity, the loans will have been repaid
based on the current rate of amortization. The proceeds were used to pay off the
property's mortgages payable of approximately  $5,070,000 which bore interest at
a  fixed  rate of  7.5%  and to  fund  loan  closing  costs.  The  Partnership's
proportionate  interest  in the  notes  which  were  paid off was  approximately
$4,563,500 or 90%. The notes which were paid off had a maturity date of December
5, 2003.

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  during 1996 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.  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 The
Willows of Plainview Phase Joint Venture II as discussed above.

Due to the fact the no  distributions  were made during 1997,  1996 or 1995, the
table which presents that portion of the  distributions  that represent a return
of capital on a Generally Accepted Accounting Principal basis has been omitted.

As of December 31, 1996,  the  Partnership  had accrued  approximately  $160,000
(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  is required to 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).  During  November  1997,  the
Partnership  reimbursed the purchaser for the land  improvements  that were made
during 1992.

Philip Crosby Associates,  Inc. ("Crosby")  previously leased 100% of University
Business Center Phase II, which is owned by the Lakeshore/University II (L/U II)
Joint Venture.  The original lease term was for seven years, and the tenant took
occupancy in April 1991. During 1994, 1995 and 1996, Crosby sub-leased,  through
the end of  their  lease  term,  approximately  85,000  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
96%). Of the total being sub-leased,  approximately  73,000 square feet (or 86%)
was  leased  by Full Sail  Recorders,  Inc.  ("Full  Sail"),  a major  tenant at
University Business Center Phase I, a neighboring property owned by an affiliate
of the  General  Partner of the  Partnership.  During  this  period and  through
December 1996,  Crosby continued to make rent payments  pursuant to the original
lease terms.  During 1996, the Joint Venture received notice that Crosby did not
intend to pay full rental due under the original lease agreement,  including and
subsequent to January 1997. The Partnership's  proportionate share of the rental
income from this property  accounted for  approximately 15% of the partnership's
total revenues during 1996. Although the Joint Venture did not have formal lease
agreements  with the  sub-lessees  noted  above  during this  period,  beginning
February 1997 rent payments  from these  sub-lessees  have been made directly to
the Joint Venture.

During 1997,  Crosby  abandoned its business,  sold all or most of its operating
assets and informed the Joint Venture that Crosby may be  insolvent.  During the
third  quarter of 1997,  a  conditional  settlement  was  reached at a mediation
conference with Crosby and its corporate parent,  whereby,  subject to the Joint
Venture's acceptance of the settlement terms, the corporate parent agreed to pay
a portion of Crosby's liability to the Joint Venture in full satisfaction of all
claims  against Crosby and any of its  affiliates.  During the fourth quarter of
1997, the L/U II Joint Venture  informed Crosby and its corporate parent that it
accepted the terms of the conditional  settlement,  whereby Crosby's parent paid
to the L/U II Joint  Venture  the sum of $300,000  in full  satisfaction  of all
claims.  These funds were  received  by the L/U II Joint  Venture on October 23,
1997. The  Partnership's  proportionate  share of the settlement was $207,000 or
69%. The amount of the  settlement  was  substantially  less than the  aggregate
liability of Crosby to the Joint Venture  resulting from Crosby's  default under
its lease.  This deficit is partially offset by the rent payments  received from
the sub-lessees, as discussed above.

In  December  1995,  Full  Sail  signed a 33 month  lease  with the L/U II Joint
Venture for  approximately  41,000  square feet it  sub-leased  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 addition,  in November 1996, Full Sail also
signed a 52 month lease for an  additional  approximately  21,000 square feet of
space it sub-leased from Crosby. Both leases aggregate 69,000 square feet or 78%
of the business center's net rentable area and commence

April  1998 when the  Crosby  original  lease  term  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 pursuant to the lease terms. 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 .

The Joint Venture is currently  negotiating  directly with the other  sublessees
discussed  above to enter into leases for the  remaining  space  available.  The
future  leasing and tenant  finish  costs which will be required to release this
space is unknown at this time but is not expected to be substantial.

As of December 31, 1997,  Commonwealth Business Center Phase II has a commitment
for tenant finish  improvements of  approximately  $150,000 as a result of a new
five-year lease for approximately  8,000 square feet. The project is expected to
be completed  during the first quarter of 1998. The source of the funds for this
project is expected to be the $200,000 loan proceeds discussed above.

The Partnership has conducted a comprehensive  review of its computer systems to
identify  the  systems  that  could be  affected  by the Year 2000  Issue and is
developing an  implementation  plan to resolve the issue. The Year 2000 Issue, a
worldwide  problem,  is the result of computer  programs being written using two
digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the  Partnership's
programs  that have  time-sensitive  software may recognize a date using "00" as
the year 1900  rather  than the year 2000.  This could  result in major  systems
failures or  miscalculations.  The  Partnership  presently  believes that,  with
modifications  to existing  software and  conversions to new software,  the Year
2000  problem   will  not  pose   significant   operational   problems  for  the
Partnership's   computer   systems.   The  Partnership   continues  to  evaluate
appropriate  courses of  corrective  action,  including  replacement  of certain
systems whose  associated  costs would be recorded as assets and amortized.  The
Partnership does not expect the costs associated with the resolution of the Year
2000 Issue to have a material  effect on its  financial  position  or results of
operations. The associated costs will be funded by cash flow from operations and
cash reserves. The amount expensed in 1997 was immaterial.

The  Partnership  had no other material  commitments  for renovations or capital
improvements at December 31, 1997.

In the next twelve  months,  the demand on future  liquidity is  anticipated  to
increase  as a  result  of the  commitment  made  for a  special  tenant  finish
allowance  and as a result of the two mortgage  loans  secured by The Willows of
Plainview  Phase II which  were  obtained  December  21,  1997 (see  discussions
above).  The Partnership also expects the demand on future liquidity to increase
as a result of future leasing activity at Commonwealth Business Center Phase II,
University  Business Center Phases I and II and Lakeshore Business Center Phases
I and II. 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.  It is
anticipated  that the cash  flow  from  operations  and  cash  reserves  will be
sufficient to meet the needs of the Partnership.

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


                                     - 31 -

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

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, 1997, 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.

Subsequent to December 31, 1997, the  Partnership  elected to fund an additional
amount of $30,000 to its Interest  Repurchase  Reserve.  With this funding,  the
Partnership  will be able to repurchase up to 200 additional Units at a price of
$150 per Unit.  If the number of Units  submitted  for  repurchase  exceeds that
which can be  repurchased by the  Partnership  with the current  funding,  those
additional Units may be repurchased in subsequent  quarters.  The above offering
price per Unit was established by the General Partner in its sole discretion and
does not purport to represent the fair market value or liquidation  value of the
Unit.  The  Partnership  notified  the  limited  partners  of  this  action  and
opportunity by mail during January 1998.

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  $2,125,246  is land  cost,  capitalized
interest  and common  area  costs.  At the  current  time,  the  Partnership  is
negotiating  the sale of Phase III vacant  land along with  University  Business
Center  Phases I and II to Full  Sail  Recorders,  Inc.  See below for a further
discussion  of the  possible  sale.  If this  transaction  does not  occur,  the
Partnership  will continue to evaluate the  possibility  of building  University
Business  Center  Phase III on the vacant  land.  The  decision to build 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.

On December 30, 1997, Full Sail delivered written notice to the Partnership that
Full Sail had (i)  exercised  its right of first  refusal  under its lease  with
NTS-Properties V to purchase  University Business Center Phase I office building
and the Phase  III  vacant  land  adjacent  to the  University  Business  Center
development,  and (ii) exercised its right of first refusal under its lease with
NTS  University  Boulevard  Joint  Venture to purchase the  University  Business
Center Phase II office building,  for an aggregate  purchase price for all three
of $18,700,000.  At December 31, 1997, the carrying value of University Business
Center  Phase I and Phase III vacant  land is  approximately  $6,000,000  and is
encumbered  by a mortgage of  $4,588,807  and the carrying  value of  University
Business  Center Phase II is  approximately  $7,500,000  and is  encumbered by a
mortgage of $5,374,127. Full Sail exercised its right of first refusal under the
leases in response to a letter of intent to purchase University I, University II
and the Phase III land which was previously  received by the Partnership from an
unaffiliated  buyer.  Under its right of first refusal,  Full Sail must purchase
the properties on the same terms and conditions as contemplated by the letter of
intent.  Full  Sail  agreed in its  notice  to the  Partnership  to  proceed  to
negotiate  in good faith a definitive  purchase  agreement  for the  properties.
Because no binding agreement exists for the purchase of these properties at this
time,  there can be no  assurance  that a mutual  agreement of purchase and sale
will be reached among the parties,  nor that the sale of the properties  will be
consummated. As such, the Partnership has not determined the use of net proceeds
after repayment of outstanding debt from any such sale nor has it determined the
impact  on  the  future  results  of  operations  or  financial  positions.  The
University  II  office  building  is  owned  by the L/U II  Joint  Venture,  the
successor  to  the  NTS  University   Boulevard  Joint  Venture,  in  which  the
Partnership owns a 69% joint venture  interest.  Under the terms of the right of
first refusal,  the closings of the sale of University I,  University II and the
Phase III  vacant  land are to occur  simultaneously. 

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, 1997 in the asset held for
sale is $1,152,868. 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 results 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 acts of God.

A portion of the  Partnership's  debt  service  is based on a variable  interest
rate, 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 its 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,  1997  and  1996,  and  the  related
statements of operations,  partners' equity and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1997. 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, 1997 and 1996,  and the results of its
operations  and its cash flows for each of the three  years in the period  ended
December 31, 1997 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 55
through 57 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.

       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:

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

       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 5-30 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,  specifies  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 years ended December 31, 1997 and 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 totaled $254,533 and
             $458,504 as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, 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, 1997, 1996 and 1995.

       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.


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.

       C)    NTS University Boulevard Joint Venture
             --------------------------------------

             with  NTS-Properties Plus Ltd., an affiliate of the General Partner
             of the Partnership,  to develop an approximately 88,000 square foot

 5.    Asset Held for Development
       --------------------------

       As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership owned  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
       $2,125,246  million is land cost,  capitalized  interest  and common area
       costs.  At the current time, the Partnership is exploring the possibility
       of selling the vacant land along with University Business Center Phases I
       and  II.  See  Note  11  Commitments  and  Contingencies  for  a  further
       discussion of the possible sale. If this  transaction does not occur, the
       Partnership  will  continue  to  evaluate  the  possibility  of  building
       University  Business Center Phase III on the vacant land. The decision to
       build 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.


6.     Asset Held for Sale
       -------------------

       As of December 31, 1997, the L/U II Joint Venture owned 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,  1997  in  the  asset  held  for  sale  is  $1,152,868.  In
       management's  opinion,  the net  book  value of the  asset  held for sale
       approximates the fair market value less cost to sell.


7.     Mortgages and Note Payable
       --------------------------

       Mortgages and note payable as of December 31 consist of the following:

       extraordinary  item) relates to loan costs associated with The Willows of
       Plainview  Phase  II's notes  payable.  The  unamortized  loan costs were
       expensed  due to the fact that the notes  were  retired  in 1997 prior to

       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).

8.     Interest Repurchase Reserve
       ---------------------------

       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
       these funds, the Partnership repurchased 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  repurchased an additional 370 Units at a price
       of $135 per  Unit.  Through  December  31,  1997,  740  Units  have  been
       repurchased   for   $99,900.   Repurchased   Units  are  retired  by  the
       Partnership,  thus  increasing  the  share  of  ownership  for  remaining
       investors.  For additional  information regarding the Interest Repurchase
       Reserve, see Note 12 Subsequent Events.

10.    Related Party Transactions
       --------------------------

       Pursuant to an agreement with the Partnership,  property  management fees
       of $352,933 (1997),  $342,292 (1996) and $322,257 (1995) were paid to NTS
       Development  Company,  an  affiliate of the General  Partner.  The fee is
       equal to 5% of gross revenues from residential properties and 6% of gross
       revenues from commercial properties.  Also pursuant to an agreement,  NTS
       Development  Company will receive a repair and  maintenance  fee equal to
       5.9%  of  costs  incurred  which  relate  to  capital  improvements.  The
       Partnership has incurred  $25,763 and $17,511 as a repair and maintenance
       fee during the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively,  and
       has capitalized this cost as part of land, building and amenities.

       As  permitted  by an  agreement,  the  Partnership  was also  charged the
       following  amounts  from NTS  Development  Company  for the  years  ended
       December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995. These charges included items which have

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

       Philip  Crosby  Associates,  Inc.  ("Crosby")  previously  leased 100% of
       University   Business   Center   Phase   II,   which   is  owned  by  the
       Lakeshore/University  II (L/U II) Joint Venture.  The original lease term
       was for seven years, and the tenant took occupancy in April 1991.  During
       1994, 1995 and 1996,  Crosby  sub-leased,  through the end of their lease
       term,  approximately  85,000 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 96%). Of the
       total being  sub-leased,  approximately  73,000  square feet (or 86%) was
       leased by Full Sail  Recorders,  Inc.  ("Full  Sail"),  a major tenant at
       University  Business  Center Phase I, a neighboring  property owned by an
       affiliate of the General Partner of the  Partnership.  During this period
       and  through  December  1996,  Crosby  continued  to make  rent  payments
       pursuant to the original  lease terms.  During  1996,  the Joint  Venture
       received  notice  that Crosby did not intend to pay full rental due under
       the original lease  agreement,  including and subsequent to January 1997.
       The  Partnership's  proportionate  share of the rental  income  from this
       property  accounted  for  approximately  15% of the  partnership's  total
       revenues  during  1996.  Although  the Joint  Venture did not have formal
       lease  agreements  with the  sub-lessees  noted above during this period,
       beginning  February 1997 rent payments from these  sub-lessees  have been
       made directly to the Joint Venture.

       During  1997,  Crosby  abandoned  its  business,  sold all or most of its
       operating  assets  and  informed  the Joint  Venture  that  Crosby may be
       insolvent. During the third quarter of 1997, a conditional settlement was
       reached at a mediation  conference with Crosby and its corporate  parent,
       whereby,  subject to the Joint  Venture's  acceptance  of the  settlement
       terms, the corporate parent agreed to pay a portion of Crosby's liability
       to the Joint Venture in full  satisfaction  of all claims  against Crosby
       and any of its affiliates.  During the fourth quarter of 1997, the L/U II
       Joint Venture  informed Crosby and its corporate  parent that it accepted
       the terms of the conditional settlement,  whereby Crosby's parent paid to
       the L/U II Joint Venture the sum of $300,000 in full  satisfaction of all
       claims.  These funds were received by the L/U II Joint Venture on October
       23, 1997.  The  Partnership's  proportionate  share of the settlement was
       $207,000 or 69%. The amount of the settlement was substantially less than
       the  aggregate  liability of Crosby to the Joint Venture  resulting  from
       Crosby's default under its lease. This deficit is partially offset by the
       rent payments received from the sub-lessees, as discussed above.

       In December 1995, Full Sail signed a 33 month lease with the L/U II Joint
       Venture for  approximately  41,000 square feet it sub-leased 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  addition,  in  November
       1996,  Full  Sail  also  signed  a  52  month  lease  for  an  additional
       approximately 21,000 square feet of space it sub-leased from Crosby. Both
       leases aggregate  69,000 square feet or 78% of the business  center's net
       rentable area and commence April 1998 when the Crosby original lease term
       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
       pursuant to the lease terms. 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
       -----------------------------------------

       The  Joint  Venture  is  currently  negotiating  directly  with the other
       sublessees  discussed  above to enter into leases for the remaining space
       available.  The future  leasing  and tenant  finish  costs  which will be
       required  to  release  this  space  is  unknown  at this  time but is not
       expected to be substantial.

       On  December  30,  1997,  Full  Sail  delivered  written  notice  to  the
       Partnership  that Full Sail had (i)  exercised its right of first refusal
       under its lease with  NTS-Properties  V to purchase  University  Business
       Center Phase I office  building and the Phase III vacant land adjacent to
       the University Business Center development,  and (ii) exercised its right
       of first  refusal  under its lease with NTS  University  Boulevard  Joint
       Venture to purchase  University Business Center Phase II office building,
       for an aggregate purchase price for all three of $18,700,000. At December
       31, 1997,  the carrying value of University  Business  Center Phase I and
       Phase III vacant land is approximately  $6,000,000 and is encumbered by a
       mortgage of  $4,588,807  and the carrying  value of  University  Business
       Center  Phase  II is  approximately  $7,500,000  and is  encumbered  by a
       mortgage of  $5,374,127.  Full Sail  exercised its right of first refusal
       under the leases in response to a letter of intent to purchase University
       I, University II and the Phase III land which was previously  received by
       the  Partnership  from an  unaffiliated  buyer.  Under its right of first
       refusal,  Full Sail must  purchase the  properties  on the same terms and
       conditions as contemplated  by the letter of intent.  Full Sail agreed in
       its notice to the  Partnership  to proceed to  negotiate  in good faith a
       definitive  purchase  agreement for these properties.  Because no binding
       agreement  exists for the purchase of the properties at this time,  there
       can be no assurance that a mutual  agreement of purchase and sale will be
       reached among the parties,  nor that the sale of the  properties  will be
       consummated.  As such, the  Partnership has not determined the use of net
       proceeds after  repayment of outstanding  debt from any such sale nor has
       it determined the impact on the future results of operations or financial
       position.  The University II office building is owned by the L/U II Joint
       Venture,  the successor to the NTS University Boulevard Joint Venture, in
       which the Partnership owns a 69% joint venture interest.  Under the terms
       of the right of first refusal,  the closings of the sale of University I,
       University II and the Phase III vacant land are to occur simultaneously.

       As of December  31,  1997.  Commonwealth  Business  Center Phase II had a
       commitment for tenant finish improvements of approximately  $150,000 as a
       result of a new five-year lease for approximately  8,000 square feet. The
       project is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 1998. The
       source of the funds for this project is expected to be the $200,000  loan
       proceeds received subsequent to December 31, 1997. See Note 12 Subsequent
       Events for a discussion regarding this transaction.


12.    Subsequent Events
       -----------------

       Subsequent to December 31, 1997,  NTS-Properties V has elected to fund an
       additional  amount of $30,000 to its Interest  Repurchase  Reserve.  With
       this  funding,  the  Partnership  will be able  to  repurchase  up to 200
       additional  Units at a price of $150 per  Unit.  If the  number  of Units
       submitted for  repurchase  exceeds that which can be  repurchased  by the
       Partnership  with the  current  funding,  those  additional  Units may be
       repurchased in subsequent quarters. The above offering price per Unit was
       established  by the General  Partner in its sole  discretion and does not
       purport to represent  the fair market value or  liquidation  value of the
       Unit. The  Partnership  notified the limited  partners of this action and
       opportunity by mail during January 1998.

       Subsequent  to December 31,  1997,  the  Partnership  received a $200,000
       funding in accordance with the terms of the Commonwealth  Business Center
       Phase II loan agreement. The balance of the loan at December 31, 1997 was
       $1,278,251.
