Paragraph (a)(5).

1. Organization of Partnership
   ---------------------------
      The Partnership was formed under the Massachusetts  Uniform Limited
      Partnership Act on May 17, 1984.  As of June 30, 1996, the Partnership
      consisted of a sole Managing General Partner, John Hancock Realty
      Equities, Inc. (the "Managing General Partner"), an Associate General
      Partner, JH Associates Limited Partnership (the "Associate General
      Partner"), and 2,053 Limited Partners.  The Managing General Partner and
      Associate General Partner are collectively referred to as the "General
      Partners" and the General Partners and the Limited Partners are
      collectively referred to as the "Partners".  The Managing General Partner
      is the general partner of the Associate General Partner and is a
      wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance
      Company ("John Hancock").  The Partnership is engaged solely in the
      acquisition, operation, and disposition of investment real estate.  The
      initial capital of the Partnership was $6,000, representing capital
      contributions of $800 from the Managing General Partner, $200 from the
      Associate General Partner and $5,000 from the initial Limited Partner (a
      former director of the Managing General Partner).  The Amended Agreement
      of Limited Partnership of the Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement")
      authorized the issuance of up to 35,000 units of Limited Partnership
      Interests at $1,000 per unit.  During the offering period, which
      terminated on August 31, 1985, 21,954 units of Limited Partnership
      Interests ("Units") were sold.  There have been no changes in the number
      of Units outstanding subsequent to the termination of the offering
      period.
      
      The latest date on which the Partnership was due to terminate was
      December 31, 2020, unless it was sooner terminated in accordance with the
      terms of the Partnership Agreement.  It was expected that in the ordinary
      course of the Partnership's business, the properties of the Partnership
      would be disposed of, and the Partnership terminated, before December 31,
      2020.  As initially stated in its Prospectus, the sale of the
      Partnership's last remaining property was expected to occur within five
      to eight years following the date such property was acquired by the
      Partnership.

1. Organization of Partnership (continued)
   ---------------------------
      On December 29, 1995, the Partnership sold its last remaining property,
      the Fisherman's Village Apartments, which resulted in the termination of
      the Partnership's operations.  On January 17, 1996, cash in the amount of
      $658,620 was distributed to the Limited Partners from the Partnership's
      net assets and the Managing General Partner established a reserve for
      contingencies with the remaining balance of the Partnership's net assets,
      as permitted by, and in accordance with, the terms of the Partnership
      Agreement.  The reserve for contingencies, with a balance of
      approximately $1,045,000 at June 30, 1996, will be used to fund any
      possible liabilities that may arise.  If all liabilities with respect to
      the Partnership are resolved by the end of 1996 and the Managing General
      Partner determines that funds are available for distribution, the
      Managing General Partner expects to make a final distribution of the
      Partnership's net assets, in accordance with the terms of the Partnership
      Agreement, to the Limited Partners by December 31, 1996.  Such
      distribution, if any, will result in the liquidation and termination of
      the Partnership.

2. Liquidation Basis Financial Statement Presentation
   --------------------------------------------------
      On December 29, 1995, the Partnership sold its last remaining property,
      the Fisherman's Village Apartments.  This sale resulted in the
      termination of the Partnership's operations.  The Partnership, therefore,
      changed its basis of accounting from the going-concern basis to the
      liquidation basis as of December 31, 1995.  Consequently, the financial
      statements presented in this Report on Form 10-Q at and for the six
      months ended June 30, 1996 and at December 31, 1995, have been prepared
      on the liquidation basis of accounting.  Under this basis, assets are
      stated at their estimated net realizable values and liabilities reflect
      their estimated settlement amounts.  The financial statements for all
      periods prior to December 31, 1995 have been prepared on the going-
      concern basis of accounting.
      
3. The Partnership Agreement
   -------------------------
      Profits from the normal operations of the Partnership for each fiscal
      year, or portion thereof, are allocated between the Limited Partners and
      the General Partners in the same proportion as Distributable Cash from
      Operations (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) provided that (i) in
      no event shall the General Partners be allocated less than 1% of any such
      profits from normal operations, and (ii) if there is any fiscal year
      which produces no Distributable Cash from Operations but which produces
      profits for tax purposes from normal operations, such profits are
      allocated 90% to the Limited Partners and 10% to the General Partners.

3. The Partnership Agreement (continued)
   -------------------------
      Losses from the normal operations of the Partnership for each fiscal year
      or portion thereof are allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to
      the General Partners, except any such profits or losses which were based
      upon the Partnership's operations prior to the initial closing under the
      Partnership's offering of Units were allocated 99% to the General
      Partners and 1% to the initial Limited Partner.
      
      Distributable Cash from Operations is distributed 90% to the Limited
      Partners and 10% to the General Partners; provided, however, that in each
      fiscal year the General Partners will defer their receipt of any
      Distributable Cash from Operations to the extent necessary to provide the
      Limited Partners with a non-cumulative return in such year equal to 4% of
      their Invested Capital (as defined in the Partnership Agreement).  All
      distributions of Distributable Cash from Operations deferred by the
      General Partners accrue and are payable to them, to the extent possible,
      out of subsequent years' Distributable Cash from Operations remaining
      after the receipt by the Limited Partners of the aforesaid 4% return, or
      out of cash from sales and refinancings as specified below.
      
      Cash from Sales or Refinancings (as defined in the Partnership Agreement)
      is distributed to the Limited Partners until the Limited Partners have
      received, first, a return of their total Invested Capital, and, second,
      such additional amount as may be necessary, after giving effect to all
      previous distributions of Distributable Cash from Operations and of Cash
      from Sales or Refinancings, to the extent required to satisfy any
      deficiency in the Cumulative Return on Investment (as defined in the
      Partnership Agreement) to produce in the aggregate a Cumulative Return on
      Investment of 7% per annum for all fiscal quarters commencing on or after
      January 1, 1986, and ending prior to the date of such distribution.  The
      General Partners are then entitled to receive an amount of Cash from
      Sales or Refinancings equal to any portion of the General Partners' share
      of Distributable Cash from Operations which was previously deferred in
      order to permit the payment to the Limited Partners of a non-cumulative
      return in each year equal to 4% of their Invested Capital.  Any Cash from
      Sales or Refinancings remaining after the Limited Partners have received
      a return of their total Invested Capital plus the Cumulative Return on
      Investment of 7% per annum for all fiscal quarters commencing on or after
      January 1, 1986, and ended prior to the date of such distribution, and
      after the General Partners have received an amount of such cash equal to
      any such deferred payment of Distributable Cash from Operations, will be
      distributed 85% to the Limited Partners and 15% to the General Partners.

3. The Partnership Agreement (continued)
   -------------------------
      Cash from the sale of the last of the Partnership's properties is
      distributed in the same manner as Cash from Sales or Refinancings, except
      that before any other distribution is made to the Partners, each Partner
      shall first receive from such cash, an amount equal to the then positive
      balance, if any, in such Partner's capital account after crediting or
      charging to such account the profits or losses for tax purposes from such
      sale.  To the extent, if any, that a Partner is entitled to receive a
      distribution of cash based upon a positive balance in its capital account
      prior to such distribution, such distribution will be credited against
      the amount of such cash the Partner would have been entitled to receive
      based upon the manner of distribution of Cash from Sales or Refinancings,
      as specified in the previous paragraph.
      
      Profits from Sales or Refinancings are generally allocated in the same
      manner as cash from the transaction; however, in no event shall the
      General Partners be allocated less than 1% of any such profits from the
      transaction.  Losses from Sales or Refinancings are allocated 99% to the
      Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partners.  In connection with the
      sale of the last of the Partnership's properties, and therefore the
      dissolution of the Partnership, profits will be allocated to any Partners
      having a deficit balance in their capital account in an amount equal to
      the deficit balance.  Any remaining profits will be allocated in the same
      order as cash from the sale would be distributed.
      
4. Transactions with the General Partners and Affiliates
   -----------------------------------------------------
      Expenses incurred or paid by the General Partners or their affiliates and
      to which the General Partners and their affiliates are entitled to
      reimbursement from the Partnership, and interest expense on borrowings
      from the Managing General Partner were as follows:

4. Transactions with the General Partners and Affiliates (continued)
   -----------------------------------------------------
      Accounts payable to affiliates represents amounts due to the General
      Partners and their affiliates for various services provided to the
      Partnership.
      
      The Managing General Partner serves in a similar capacity for three other
      affiliated real estate limited partnerships.
      
      Mortgage note payable to affiliate represented a short-term borrowing by
      the Partnership in the amount of $8,193,775 from the Managing General
      Partner.  The mortgage note carried interest at a rate of 8.75% per annum
      and was collateralized by the Fisherman's Village Apartments.  On January
      3, 1996, the Partnership paid the outstanding mortgage indebtedness held
      by the Managing General Partner with funds provided by the sale of its
      last property, the Fisherman's Village Apartments.
      
      Note payable to affiliate represented a short-term borrowing by the
      Partnership in the principal amount of $1,000,000 from the Managing
      General Partner.  The note carried interest at a rate of 8.5% per annum.
      During the second quarter of 1995, the Partnership utilized net proceeds
      from the sale of the Northgreen Apartments to pay the Managing General
      Partner the entire outstanding principal balance of the note in the
      amount of $1,000,000.

5. Note Receivable
   ---------------
      Effective August 9, 1987, the unconditional guaranty obligation granted
      by the seller of the Waterford Apartments (the "Obligor") to the
      Partnership for operating deficits (including debt service) was extended
      until August 1, 1994.  (The Waterford Apartments was conveyed to the
      property's mortgagee by a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure on August 9, 1991.)
      The outstanding balance due in the amount of $258,950 was restructured as
      a 10.5% Promissory Note (the "Note") due on or before August 1, 1994.  As
      of December 31, 1993 the Managing General Partner believed, based on
      information obtained with respect to the Obligor's financial condition,
      that it was probable that the Partnership would be unable to collect all
      amounts due from the Obligor according to the contractual terms of the
      Note.  Accordingly, the Partnership established a provision, reflected in
      the accompanying Statements of Net Assets in Liquidation, against the
      then entire outstanding balance of the Note.

                               (Unaudited)
      
5. Note Receivable (continued)
   ---------------
      In June 1994, the Obligor notified the Partnership that he would be
      unable to continue to pay the minimum monthly payments on the note and
      would be unable to pay the outstanding balance of the note upon its
      maturity on August 1, 1994.  The Obligor failed to make the minimum
      required payments due on the Note since June 1, 1994 and subsequently
      failed to pay the outstanding balance of the Note, which was due on
      August 1, 1994.  Once the Obligor ceased making the requisite payments on
      the Note, the Managing General Partner issued a default notice and demand
      for payment to the Obligor and filed a complaint with the court demanding
      full payment of all amounts owing under the Note.  On December 7, 1994
      the court granted the Partnership a summary judgment in response to the
      complaint filed against the Obligor in the amount of $305,489, which
      represented the balance of the Note at maturity plus accrued interest
      thereon from the maturity date of the Note through the date of the
      judgment.
      
      After a detailed review of the Obligor's financial condition and based
      upon representations and assurances by the Obligor that he had
      insufficient assets with which to satisfy the judgment, the Managing
      General Partner reached a settlement with the Obligor.  Effective April
      29, 1996, the Partnership released the judgment against the Obligor in
      exchange for a one-time cash payment in the amount of $35,000.

6. Federal Income Taxes
   --------------------
      A reconciliation of the net income reported in the Statement of
      Operations to the net income reported for federal income tax purposes for
      the six months ended June 30, 1995 is as follows:

           Net income per Statement of Operations               $3,927,909
       
           Add/(deduct):   Excess tax gain over book
                           gain on disposition of assets         1,897,508
                           Excess of tax depreciation
                           over book depreciation                (137,651)
                                                                ----------
           Net income for federal income tax purposes           $5,687,766
                                                                ==========

of Operations

General
- -------
On December 29, 1995, the Partnership sold its last remaining property, the
Fisherman's Village Apartments, which resulted in the termination of the
Partnership's operations.  On January 17, 1996, cash in the amount of $658,620
was distributed to the Limited Partners from the Partnership's net assets and
the Managing General Partner established a reserve for contingencies with the
remaining balance of the Partnership's net assets, as permitted by, and in
accordance with, the terms of the Partnership Agreement.  The reserve for
contingencies, with a balance of approximately $1,045,000 at June 30, 1996, will
be used to fund any possible liabilities that may arise.  If all liabilities
with respect to the Partnership are resolved by the end of 1996 and the Managing
General Partner determines that funds are available for distribution, the
Managing General Partner expects to make a final distribution of net assets, in
accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement, to the Limited Partners
by December 31, 1996.  Such final distribution, if any, will result in the
liquidation and termination of the Partnership.  At the time of such final
distribution, the outstanding Units will be canceled and, in accordance with
federal securities laws, will be de-registered with the S.E.C., after which time
the Partnership will no longer be required to file periodic reports with the
S.E.C.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
As a result of the sale of the Partnership's last remaining property on December
29, 1995 and, therefore, the termination of the Partnership's operations, the
financial statements presented in this Report on Form 10-Q at and for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 and at December 31, 1995, have been prepared on a
basis of accounting which requires that all non-liquid assets be stated at their
estimated net realizable value and all liabilities at their estimated settlement
amounts.

As of June 30, 1996, the Partnership had $1,081,361 in cash and cash equivalents
and net assets of $1,045,089.

On January 3, 1996, the Partnership paid the outstanding principal balance and
all accrued and unpaid interest on the mortgage indebtedness held by the
Managing General Partner, in the aggregate amount of $8,201,558, with funds
provided by the sale of its last property, the Fisherman's Village Apartments.

Effective April 29, 1996, the Managing General Partner reached an agreement with
the seller of the Waterford Apartments (the "Obligor") on the judgment the
Partnership held against the Obligor in the amount of $305,489 (see Note 5 of
the financial statements included in Item 1 of this Report).  After a detailed
review of the Obligor's financial condition and representations and assurances
made by the Obligor that he had insufficient assets with which to satisfy the
judgment, the Partnership released the judgment against the Obligor in exchange
for a one-time cash payment in the amount of $35,000.

of Operations (continued)


Results of Operations
- ---------------------
The Statement of Changes in Net Assets in Liquidation is presented for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 to reflect the liquidation basis of accounting for
such period.  As a result, a comparison is not meaningful for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 relative to the corresponding period in 1995.

On January 1, 1996, the Partnership had net assets of $1,726,978, which
represents total assets less total liabilities.  At June 30, 1996 net assets
were $1,045,089, reflecting a decrease in net assets of $681,889 during the six
months then ended.  This decrease in net assets resulted from the following
activity during the period:  $658,620 of cash distributions to the Limited
Partners, $62,308 of general and administrative expenses, $26,767 of property
operating expenses relating to the Fisherman's Village Apartments, and $3,928 of
interest expense which decreases were partially offset by $34,734 of interest
income earned on cash and cash equivalents during the period and $35,000 of cash
received from the Obligor as settlement for the Note and to release the
judgment.

(a)  Net cash provided by operating activities, net change in operating assets
     and liabilities, and cash provided by operations are as calculated in the
     Statement of Cash Flows included in Item 1 of this Report.

(b)  As defined in the Partnership Agreement.  Distributable Cash from
     Operations should not be considered as an alternative to net income (i.e.
     not an indicator of performance) or to reflect cash flows or availability
     of discretionary funds.

As a result of the sale of the Partnership's last remaining property on December
29, 1995 and, therefore, the termination of the Partnership's operations, the
Partnership changed its basis of accounting from the going-concern basis to the
liquidation basis of accounting.  The financial statements in this Report on
Form 10-Q at and for the six months ended June 30, 1995 have been prepared on
the going-concern basis of accounting.  The financial statements at and for the
six months ended June 30, 1996 and at December 31, 1995 have been prepared on
the liquidation basis of accounting.  As a result, the Statement of Cash Flows
included in Item 1 of this Report does not reflect any of the information
reported using this liquidation basis.  The Partnership did not generate any
Adjusted Cash from Operations nor any Distributable Cash from Operations for the
six months ended June 30, 1996, and, therefore, calculations of Adjusted Cash
from Operations and Distributable Cash from Operations for such periods have
been omitted.
