ITEM 2.  DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

         On May 31, 2000, Damson/Birtcher Realty Income Fund-I (the
"Partnership") sold Terracentre, in Denver, Colorado to an entity affiliated
with Robert E. Collawn ("Collawn"), a Denver real estate developer and operator,
for $6,500,000. Collawn is not affiliated in any way with the Partnership, its
General Partner or the General Partner's affiliates.

         The Partnership was represented by a third-party broker in the
transaction. The broker was paid $227,500 from the sale proceeds. Since the sale
price of Terracentre exceeded the January 1, 1993 appraised value ($3,100,000),
pursuant to the 1993 Amendment to the partnership agreement, the General Partner
earned and was paid a disposition fee of $130,000 in connection with the sale of
the property. Collawn will not hire the General Partner or any affiliate to
perform asset management or property management services for this property.

         The Partnership realized approximately $6,206,000, or approximately $64
per $1,000 invested in the Partnership, in cash proceeds from the sale of
Terracentre, after deducting for closing costs and prorations totaling
approximately $294,000.

         As of May 31, 2000, the Partnership has sold all of its operating
properties. Two lawsuits remain pending against the Partnership and its General
Partner and certain of its affiliates that seek, among other things, unspecified
monetary damages. Since these cases are in the preliminary discovery phase,
there is unavoidable uncertainty regarding their ultimate resolution. The
Partnership Agreement mandates that the General Partner provide for all of the
Partnership's liabilities and obligations, including contingent liabilities,
before distributing liquidation proceeds to its partners. Therefore, the amount
and timing of any distribution of liquidation proceeds will be determined by the
General Partner in light of these and other relevant considerations. Due to
these uncertainties, it is possible that future distributions may be limited to
a liquidating distribution upon Partnership wind down should funds be available
at that time.
