Item 1.           Description of Business

         General

     Twelve AMH Associates Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") was organized
under the Massachusetts  Uniform Limited  Partnership Act on April 24, 1984. The
general  partners of the Partnership  (the "General  Partners") are Two Winthrop
Properties,  Inc. ("Two  Winthrop") and  Linnaeus-Lexington  Associates  Limited
Partnership ("Linnaeus-Lexington").  Two Winthrop is a Massachusetts corporation
which  is a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of  First  Winthrop  Corporation  ("First
Winthrop"),  a Delaware  corporation,  which in turn is wholly-owned by Winthrop
Financial  Associates,   A  Limited  Partnership  ("WFA"),  a  Maryland  limited
partnership;   the  sole  general   partner  of  WFA  is  Linnaeus   Associates.
Linnaeus-Lexington is a Massachusetts  limited partnership.  The general partner
of  Linnaeus-Lexington  is WFA. Two Winthrop is the managing  general partner of
the Partnership. See "Change in Control".

     The Partnership was capitalized by contributions  from partners.  In August
1984, upon completion of its offering, the Partnership sold 600 Units of Limited
Partnership  Interest at an aggregate purchase price of $57,750,000  pursuant to
Regulation D promulgated  under the Securities Act of 1933. The Partnership used
the net proceeds from the offering, together with a line of credit obtained from
a major  commercial bank for an interim loan, which has been repaid in full, and
a purchase  money note from the seller,  the Aetna  Casualty and Surety  Company
("Aetna"),  to acquire  its 66.667%  interest in Square 254 Limited  Partnership
(the "Square 254") and to acquire, in 1988, a 66.67% general partner interest in
National  Place  Land  Limited  Partnership  ("National  Land").  Square 254 and
National  Land  are  hereinafter  collectively  referred  to as  the  "Operating
Partnerships."

     Square 254 is a District of Columbia limited partnership organized in 1979.
The  general  partners  of  Square  254  are  the  Partnership,  the  Quadrangle
Development   Corporation    ("Quadrangle")   and   the   Marriott   Corporation
("Marriott").  Quadrangle  is the  managing  general  partner of Square 254. The
limited  partners  are  Marriott  and NP Limited  Partnership,  an  affiliate of
Quadrangle. Quadrangle is the general partner of NP Limited Partnership and owns
approximately  77% of  the  partnership  interests  in NP  Limited  Partnership.
Quadrangle and Marriott are not affiliated with the  Partnership,  WFA or any of
its affiliates.
<PAGE>

         National Land is a District of Columbia limited  partnership  organized
on  August  8,  1988.  The  66.67%  general  partner  of  National  Land  is the
Partnership.   The  limited  partners  are  Quadrangle  (16.665%)  and  Marriott
(16.665%).

         The only business of the  Partnership is investing as a general partner
in Square 254 and National Land.

     The  Partnership is currently in its operating  phase and expects to remain
in this phase until April 1999 (Maturity Date of Partnership Debt) at which time
the partnership  will evaluate  selling its investment or holding the investment
longer than originally expected.

Properties owned by the Operating Partnerships

         1.       Square 254

         Square 254 developed and presently owns and operates a mix- use complex
know as "National Place," located at 1331 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington,
D.C. National Place consists of: (i) the 772-room J.W. Marriott Hotel managed by
the Marriott Corporation,  (ii) the 71,000 square feet of retail space leased to
and managed by The Rouse Company, (iii) the 418,000 square feet of office space,
(iv) a leasehold interest in the 1,600-seat National Theatre leased on net basis
to the New  National  Theater  Corporation,  which  in turn  contracts  with the
Shubert Organization to provide programming for the theater, and (v) the 400-car
parking  garage  managed by QuikPark,  Inc. In addition,  Square 254 leases from
National Land  pursuant to a ground lease (the "Ground  Lease") which expires in
2083, the land on which National Place is located.

     The Hotel:  The J. W. Marriott  Hotel is a fifteen  story,  772-room  hotel
which opened in February 1984. Its special  features  include four  restaurants,
in-house catering  services,  health club including an indoor swimming pool, two
ballrooms of 14,000 and 8,400 square feet,  10 function  rooms  totaling  30,000
square  feet,  18  hospitality  suites,  2   Vice-Presidential   suites,  and  2
Presidential suites. The following table sets forth the

average  occupancy  and room  rate at the  Hotel for the  calendar  years  ended
December 1996 and 1995:

                                           December 31,

         Square 254 entered into a Management  Agreement with Marriott  pursuant
to which  Marriott  is acting as the  exclusive  agent to manage and operate the
hotel.  The  agreement  has a term of 30 years and  expires  in  February  2014.
Marriott may renew the agreement for four renewal terms of 10 years each and one
final  renewal term  through the  expiration  of the ground lease with  National
Land.  Marriott earns a management fee equal to 3% of gross revenues for central
office  services  and an  incentive  fee of 20% of the  operating  profit of the
hotel. For this purpose hotel operating profit is defined as the excess of gross
revenues over deductions including: (i) all normal costs of operation;  (ii) the
3% of gross  revenues  central  office  services fee  described  above;  (iii) a
reserve to cover replacements of the hotel's  furniture,  fixtures and equipment
and  non-routine  repairs and  maintenance,  which  reserve is 5% of the hotel's
gross  revenues with the balance  limited at any time to 3.5% of gross  revenues
for the immediately  preceding  three years;  (iv) the hotel's pro rata share of
chain services;  and (v) certain insurance costs and real estate taxes. However,
if,  during the initial term of the  agreement,  the 80% share of the  operating
profit that Square 254 is to receive is less than the Owner's Priority,  defined
as 50% of Square 254's debt service on first mortgage  financing,  Square 254 is
to receive the portion of  Marriott's  20%  incentive  fee needed to make up the
difference.  This portion will be paid back to Marriott in subsequent years from
distributions to Square 254 in excess of the Owner's Priority.  Neither Marriott
nor Square 254 may assign  their  rights  and  obligations  under the  agreement
without  the  approval of the other  party  except for  certain  small shops and
concessions in the hotel which  Marriott may sublease.  Square 254 may terminate
the  agreement  if (i)  the  operating  profit  that  it  receives  in  any  two
consecutive  fiscal  years falls  below the Owner's  Priority or (ii) in any two
consecutive  years  during a  renewal  term,  Square  254's  rate of  return  on
replacement costs is less than 120% of the average annual yield for the three




<PAGE>



immediately preceding fiscal years on 20-year U.S. Treasury bonds and, in either
case,  Marriott  does not  advance the  difference  to Square 254. If Square 254
decides to sell the hotel, it must notify  Marriott,  which shall have the right
to  purchase  the hotel on the same terms as  proposed to be offered to proposed
buyers.

         The Office  Towers:  The Office Towers are known as the North and South
Towers. The North Tower has 15 floors with an aggregate of approximately 350,000
square feet of net rentable  office space.  The South Tower has 6 floors with an
aggregate of  approximately  60,000  square feet of net rentable  office  space.
There is a connecting access between the two towers at the fifth floor level.

         The Office Towers and common areas are managed by  Quadrangle  pursuant
to an agreement  which is scheduled to expire on April 30, 1999.  The  agreement
provides for fees payable to Quadrangle of (i) 3% of gross receipts as a fee for
management  of the office space and (ii)  $100,000 per year  increased by 25% of
the  percentage  increase  in the CPI  with  January  1,  1984 as the  base  for
management  of the common  areas.  The  following  table sets forth the  average
occupancy,  the  average  rent per  square  foot of the  Officer  Towers and the
effective  rent per square foot after  taking into  consideration  any free rent
periods or give-backs for the calendar years ended December 1996 and 1995:

                                      December 31,

     The Department of Justice ("DOJ") leases,  in the aggregate,  approximately
43% of the  leasable  space at the Office  Towers  (office and storage  space of
182,677 square feet, in the  aggregate).  The leases with DOJ provide for annual
rent payments in the aggregate of $5,738,020  and terminate on May 14, 2000 with
respect to 92468  square feet and August 14, 2004 with  respect to 90209  square
feet.

     National  Association  of  Manufacturers  ("NAM")  leases 11.5% of leasable
space at the Office  Towers a majority  of which is located on the 14th and 15th
floors, (office and storage space of 50,032 square feet, in the aggregate) for a
gross rent of $2,346,957,  with a lease expiration date of May 31, 2001.  Square
254 negotiated a new lease,  moving NAM from the 14th and 15th floors to the 6th
and 12th floors.  The new lease,  signed December 18, 1996,  provides for NAM to
move into the entire 6th floor (42,530  square  feet),  and 2,305 square feet on
the 12th floor,  with aggregate annual lease payments of $1,613,427,  increasing
annually  with a lease  termination  date of April  30,  2012.  Upon  occupancy,
expected May 1, 1997, NAM will lease, in the aggregate,  approximately  10.5% of
leaseable space in the Office Towers.

         Square 254 is  currently  working on leasing the 50,000  square feet of
space, a majority of which is on the 14th and 15th floors, which will be vacated
by NAM on May 1, 1997.

         The Retail Space:  The Shops at National Place is a three-story  indoor
mall with 71,118 square feet of space,  surrounding a central  atrium,  which is
interconnected  to the retail space in the National  Press  Building.  The space
beneath  the  National  Press  Building  is not owned by Square  254.  Effective
October 1, 1996 only the  section  owned by Square 254 is  operated by the Rouse
Company,  which is not affiliated with the Partnership or its General  Partners.
The Rouse Company has expressed an interest in withdrawing  from its lease,  and
Square 254 is interviewing  other entities to manage the Shops. The lowest level
of The Shops has both  retail  tenants  and  restaurants.  The middle  level has
primarily  retail  tenants.  The  upper  level is a food  court  with  fast-food
restaurants and large common seating areas. In addition,  The Shops connect with
the Hotel lobby on the lowest level along an arcade,  where  additional food and
retail  operations  are located.  In all, there are  approximately  50 merchants
currently leasing the retail space.

         The retail  space is governed by a lease  between  Square 254 as Lessor
and the Rouse  Company of the District of Columbia as Lessee.  The original term
of the lease  expires on May 15, 2014 with two options to extend  (first  option
for 30 years and second option until the end of the ground  lease).  Payments to
Square 254 under the lease are dependent on and a function of net cash flow from
the retail space. The parent  corporation of Rouse guaranteed Rouse's payment of
minimum  annual  fixed rent of $18 per  square  foot to Square 254 for the first
three years. The Base Rent is $1,368,100 (or approximately $19 per square foot).
The  Additional  Rent of $202,440 (or  approximately  $3 per square foot) is the
amount of the increase in the annual lease payment




<PAGE>



because the net cash flow during the first two years of operation  was below $18
per square foot.  The  Percentage  Rent is 67% of net cash flow in excess of the
aggregate of the Base Rent and the Additional  Rent up to $30.56 per square foot
plus 72% of net cash  flow in excess of  $30.56  per  square  foot up to $37 per
square  foot and 63% of net cash  flow in  excess  of $37 per  square  foot.  No
Percentage Rent was paid to Square 254 in 1996 or 1995. In addition any increase
in rent under the ground lease due to a redevelopment  that  materially  changes
the market area will raise the fixed annual rent by 7% of such increase.

         The National Theater:  The National Theater is a seven-story  structure
whose  auditorium  holds  approximately  1,600 seats.  It was built in 1885 with
substantial renovations in 1922 and 1984.
The  National  Theater  is  leased on a net  basis to the New  National  Theater
Corporation,  which in turn contracts with the Shubert  Organization  to provide
programming for the theater.

         Revenue  received by Square 254 from the  National  Theater was $66,816
and $65,607 in 1996 and 1995, respectively.

     Square 254 entered into a lease with the New National  Theatre  Corporation
with an initial term of 35 years, plus renewal options extending  throughout the
99-year  term of the ground  lease.  The lease  commenced  on December 29, 1980.
Under the lease,  Square 254 agreed to  reconstruct  and  renovate  the National
Theatre Building,  and the New National Theatre  Corporation (the "Corporation")
agreed to operate the National  Theatre,  primarily for the  production of live,
non-media drama presentations. The Corporation has contracted with the New York-
based  Shubert   organization  to  provide   established   Broadway  shows.  The
Corporation pays annual base rent under the lease plus $25,000 multiplied by the
percentage  increase in the  Consumer  Price Index for the  District of Columbia
(the "CPI").  The Corporation has the right to renew the lease for five ten-year
terms and one  fourteen-year  term. Rent during the first two renewal terms will
consist of annual base rent and additional  rent equal to the greater of (a) the
annual base rent multiplied by the percentage  increase in the CPI for that year
or (b) 1% of the increase in the Corporation's gross receipts for that year over
the annual average of gross receipts for the preceding  three years.  Rent is to
be  renegotiated  by the parties  after 55 years and decided by  arbitration  if
necessary.

     The Parking Garage:  The Parking Garage is a 400-car,  underground  parking
facility  consisting of five floors of underground  parking  garage  facilities,
together with the first floor garage entrance, driveway and ramps leading to the
parking  facility,  containing  approximately  143,662  square feet.  Square 254
received  $404,288 and $352,305 in revenue from the Parking Garage for the years
ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

         The Parking Garage is leased to QuikPark,  Inc. under a lease effective
on October 21, 1994 and  terminating  on April 30, 1998.  The rent payable under
the lease is equal to  ninety-five  percent of gross revenue (i.e.  all receipts
other than D.C.  Parking Tax). The operating  expenses of the Parking Garage are
expenses of Square 254.  Prior to the effective date of the lease with QuikPark,
Inc., the Parking Garage was leased to Marriott.  Under the lease with Marriott,
which  commenced  January 1, 1986 and  expired on October 20,  1994,  the rental
under the Marriott lease was 5% gross revenues.

         2.       National Land

         National Land was formed in 1988 for the purpose of purchasing  the fee
interest in the Land and the national Theater Building  (collectively,  the "New
Properties") from the Pennsylvania Avenue Development Corporation ("PADC"). As a
result,  National  Land became the lessor under the Ground Lease and the Theater
Lease under which Square 254 is the Lessee.

         Square  254  signed a lease with the  Pennsylvania  Avenue  Development
Corporation (PADC) on September 12, 1979 (the "Ground Lease").  The commencement
date for the land is September 12, 1979 and for the National Theatre building is
December 29, 1980. In August 1988, National Land purchased the land and National
Theatre  building from PADC and assumed the Ground Lease from PADC.  The term of
the lease is 99 years.  At the  expiration of the lease,  National Land will own
the  land  and  National  Theatre  building.  Square  254  pays  annual  rent of
$2,100,000  to National  Land.  Square 254 is also  obligated to pay  Additional
Ground Lease Rent consisting of (a) $600,000 of the first $3,150,000 of net cash
flow pari passu with the distribution of $2,550,000 to Square 254 and (b) 20% of
all remaining net cash flow after  distribution to Square 254 of an amount equal
to a 12% return upon Square 254's equity in the  property,  if any, in excess of
$15,000,000.  Until there is an appraisal (which is not expected to occur during
the first  fifteen  years),  Square  254's  equity  will not be deemed to exceed
$40,000,000.  No additional  Ground Lease Rent was paid by Square 254 in 1996 or
1995.




<PAGE>




         Square 254 and National Land maintain property and liability  insurance
on the properties and believes such coverage to be adequate.

         Partnership Agreement Amendment

         In August 1995, the Managing  General  Partner  amended Section 12.4 of
the  Registrant's  partnership  agreement to clarify and remove any  ambiguities
pertaining to the  requirements  for calling and voting at a meeting of Investor
Limited  Partners,  or taking  action by  written  consent of  partners  in lieu
thereof.  Such  requirements  include,  among other matters,  that any action by
written  consent may be initiated only by the General  Partner or by one or more
Investor Limited Partners holding not less than 10% of the outstanding Units.

         Competition

         National  Place is affected  by and subject to the general  competitive
conditions  of the lodging  industry and  commercial  real estate.  In addition,
National  Place is located in an area which contains  numerous other  properties
which may be considered  competitive.  The varying  cycles of Congress  (when in
session and when elections are held) cause  fluctuations  in the Washington D.C.
hotel market.

         Change in Control

     On December 22, 1994,  control of the General Partners was transferred from
Arthur  J.  Halleran,  Jr.  and  Jonathan  W.  Wexler to  Nomura  Asset  Capital
Corporation  ("Nomura").  Mr.  Halleran  had been the sole  general  partner  of
Linneaus  Associates  and  Messrs.  Halleran  and  Wexler  had been the  general
partners of  Linnaeus-  Lexington.  Pursuant  to an  Investment  Agreement  with
Nomura,  Mr.  Halleran  and certain  other  individuals  who comprise the senior
management  of WFA,  including Mr.  Wexler,  agreed to the transfer the Linnaeus
Associates  general  partner  interest to W. L.  Realty,  L.P.  and transfer the
Linnaeus-Lexington general partner interest to WFA.

     On July 18, 1995, in an event  subsequent to the submission of the original
Partnership  Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended  December 31, 1994,
control of the General  Partners  was  transferred  by Nomura to an affiliate of
Apollo  Real  Estate  Advisors,   L.P.  ("Apollo").   In  connection  with  this
transaction,




<PAGE>



Messrs. Halleran and Wexler resigned as a director and officer
of, among others, the General Partners.

     The general partner of W. L. Realty,  L. P. is Londondarry  Acquisition II,
L.P.  The  general  partner of  Londondarry  Acquisition  II,  L.P.  is LDY - GP
Partners  II,  L.P.  The  general  partner  of LDY - GP  Partners  II,  L.P.  is
Londondarry  Acquisition  Corporation  II, Inc. Apollo owns 100% of the stock of
Londondarry Acquisition Corporation II, Inc.

Employees

     The Registrant does not have any employees.  Services are performed for the
Partnership by the General Partners and agents retained by it. In addition,  the
Partnership  has retained  Winthrop  Financial  Co.,  Inc.,  to perform  certain
administrative  services  for the  Partnership.  For  these  services,  Winthrop
Financial  Co.,  Inc.,  is entitled to receive an annual fee of $300,000.  As of

Item 5.  Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related
         Stockholder Matters

         There is no public trading  market for the Units.  Trading in the Units
is  infrequent  and occurs solely  through  private  transactions.  In addition,
transfers of Units are subject to  limitations  contained  in the  Partnership's
partnership agreement, including a requirement that the General Partners consent
thereto which consent may be granted or withheld in the General  Partners'  sole
discretion. The Partnership's partnership agreement was filed as Exhibit 3(a) to
the Partnership's  Registration Statement on Form 10 filed on April 30, 1985, as
amended  thereafter (the "Partnership  Agreement").  As of March 15, 1997, there
were approximately 714 holders of 600 outstanding Units.

         The Partnership  Agreement requires that Cash Flow (as defined therein)
be  distributed  to the partners in specified  portions at reasonable  intervals
during the fiscal year,  but in any event not less often than  annually no later
than 90 days after the end of the fiscal year.  There are no restrictions on the
Partnership's  present  or future  ability to make  distributions  of Cash Flow.
There have been no cash distributions paid or accrued since the inception of the
Partnership.  It is not anticipated  that the  Partnership  will be able to make
distributions to its Limited Partners, if at all, prior to 1999.

         The Operating  Partnership made distributions to the Partnership during
1996 totaling  $3,163,926.  Certain  fees,  loans and interest due to affiliates
were repaid from this  distribution.  See "Item 6,  Management's  Discussion and
Analysis or Plan of Operation."

Item 6.           Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of
                  Operation

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Partnership's only assets consist of its general partnership  interests
in  Square  254  and  National  Land.  There  are  no  known  trends,   demands,
commitments,  events  or  uncertainties  that will  result in the  Partnership's
liquidity  increasing  or decreasing  in any material  way.  Prior to 1996,  the
Partnership received no cash distributions from the Operating Partnerships. As a
result,  the  Partnership  had relied on loans from  affiliates  as its  primary
source of liquidity.  In order to satisfy its administrative and other expenses,
affiliates  of  the  General  Partner  have  made  interest-free  loans  to  the
Partnership for administrative expenses, an interest-bearing loan related to the
Partnership's  interest in National Land and Winthrop  Management  has agreed to
defer its fees. As of December 31, 1996, all loans from the General Partner have
been fully repaid and the Partnership owed $3,300,000 to Winthrop Financial Co.,
Inc., for unpaid asset management  fees. In 1996, the Operating  Partnership had
sufficient revenue to make distributions to the Partnership totaling $3,163,926.
These distributions were used to satisfy certain of the fees, loans and interest
due on the affiliate  loans.  In January 1997, the  Partnership  paid Winthrop's
1997 fee of $300,000 and reduced the $3,300,000 accrued fee balance by $500,000.
The balance of the distribution was retained as Partnership reserves. Square 254
is not expected to make any future  distributions  until  December 1997, if any,
depending upon property  operating  results in 1997. The  Partnership's  current
reserves are expected to be  sufficient to fund  administrative  expenses in the
foreseeable future. All future  distributions to the Partnership from Square 254
will  be  used  to  repay  unpaid  asset   management   fees  after  payment  of
administrative expenses of the Partnership.

         In the future,  the  Partnership  will  continue to require cash to pay
management fees and general and administrative  expenses and may require cash to
satisfy  its  obligation  to  fund  any  operating  deficits  of  the  Operating
Partnership. The Partnership has made no commitments for capital expenditures as
of December 31, 1996.





<PAGE>



         Based on (i)  Square  254's  budget  for 1997  which  shows  sufficient
reserves at year-end  1997 for a cash  distribution  in 1997 and (ii) Square 254
anticipation of a refinancing of its debt at lower interest rates in 1997 with a
resulting  decrease in interest  expense in future years,  the General  Partners
believe  that  Square 254 will  continue  to  generate  sufficient  cash flow to
distribute  cash to the  Partnership  on a consistent  basis in the  foreseeable
future.  However,  the ability of Square 254 to generate sufficient cash flow is
subject to many  factors  outside the control of the  Partnership.  Accordingly,
there can be no  assurance  that  Square  254 will  continue  to be able to make
distributions to its partners.

         In addition to the affiliate loans described  above, the Partnership is
obligated on the following loans:

         (a) In connection with the Partnership's acquisition of its interest in
Square 254, the Partnership obtained a non-recourse  purchase money note payable
to Aetna in the principal  amount of $22,000,000  (the "Aetna Loan").  The Aetna
Loan bears  simple  interest at 15% per annum and  requires no current  payments
until maturity in August 1999, at which time Aetna is obligated to refinance the
Note if the Partnership is unable to obtain  financing from another source.  The
term of the refinancing  shall be 10 years; the rate of the refinancing shall be
equal to Aetna's then current rate for 10-year  permanent loans secured by first
mortgage  liens  on  collateral   substantially  similar  to  the  Partnership's
investment. However, the Partnership may not be able to satisfy the debt service
for the  refinanced  loan.  On December 31,  1996,  the  outstanding  balance of
principal plus accrued interest on the Note was [$62,700,000).

         (b) Aetna also  provided  the  Partnership  with a $20 million  line of
credit  (the "Aetna  Line of  Credit"),  which  expired in  December  1989.  The
Partnership  used the Aetna Line of Credit to fund its requirement to contribute
its pro rata share of  operating  deficits  incurred by Square  254.  Borrowings
under the Aetna Line of Credit  bear  interest  at the annual  rate of 15.5% and
require no current payments until maturity in August 1999 at which time Aetna is
obligated to refinance the Note if the Partnership is unable to obtain financing
from another source.  The term of the refinancing shall be 10 years; the rate of
the  refinancing  shall be  equal  to  Aetna's  then  current  rate for 10- year
permanent  loans secured by first  mortgage  liens on  collateral  substantially
similar to the Partnership's investment.




<PAGE>



On December 31, 1996, the outstanding  balance of principal and accrued interest
on the Aetna Line of Credit was [$27,546,842

     (c) Two  Winthrop  properties,  Inc.,  loaned the  Partnership  $667,000 in
August  1988  (the  "Winthrop   Financial  Loan")  to  fund  the   Partnership's
acquisition  of its general  partnership  interest in National Land. In 1996 the
loan plus accrued interest was repaid in full.

     Based on the Partnership's  current and expected cash flow, the Partnership
will not have  sufficient  funds to satisfy the Aetna Loan and the Aetna Line of
Credit at maturity.  Accordingly,  if the Partnership cannot refinance or modify
the  Aetna  Loan on  favorable  terms,  or sell its  interest  in the  Operating
Partnerships for sufficient  value, the Partnership may lose its interest in the
Operating Partnerships through foreclosure.  In addition, any distributions made
by the  Operating  Partnerships  will be applied  first to satisfy the  Winthrop
asset  management  fees. As a result,  at this time it appears that investors in
the  Partnership  will not  receive a return of a  significant  portion of their
investment.

         Square 254

     Square 254 receives room  revenues from the Hotel and rental  revenues from
the other components of its property and is responsible for operating  expenses,
administrative expenses,  capital improvements and debt service payments. Square
254 had negative cash flow after payment of repairs,  capital  improvements  and
distributions  to partners for the year ended  December 31, 1996, as compared to
positive cash flow for the year ended December 31, 1995.

         Square 254 uses  working  capital  reserves  as its  primary  source of
liquidity.  Square  254 had  adequate  working  capital  reserves  to  fund  its
operations and other expenditures through 1996.

         During  1996,  the  general  partners  of Square  254 made  substantial
expenditures  of  $3,083,686.  The majority of these  expenditures  were made in
connection  with  re-leasing  a  significant  portion of the  Office  Towers and
renovation of meeting rooms at the Hotel. Such expenditures were funded from the
Operating  Partnership's  short-term investments and unrestricted cash reserves,
which  together had a balance of $9,624,733 at December 31, 1996 as well as cash
generated from




<PAGE>



operation of Square 254.  Each year, a portion of the gross revenue of the Hotel
(currently  5% of  gross  revenue)  is added to the  Hotel  replacement  reserve
account for the purpose of funding future capital requirements of the Hotel. The
Hotel  replacement  reserve account had a remaining  balance of $2,704,973 as of
December 31, 1996. The general  partners of Square 254 currently  believe Square
254's short-term  investments and unrestricted  cash reserves will be sufficient
to fund Square 254's operations and capital  expenditures  over the next several
years.  However,  the ability of Square 254 to fund  expenditures  in the future
will depend on Square 254's ability to achieve  certain levels of operation.  If
existing  reserves and future  operations  are not  sufficient  to support these
expenditures,  the general partners of Square 254 will evaluate the necessity of
making these expenditures against the ability of Square 254 to obtain additional
capital  from outside  lending  sources and the  willingness  and ability of the
general partners of Square to contribute additional Capital.

     Square 254 has two  mortgage  loans,  both of which are  secured by a first
mortgage on its assets. The debt maturity date is in 1999 with a balloon payment
in the aggregate of approximately  $124 million.  The aggregate mortgage balance
was  $125,967,692 as of December 31, 1996. See, Item 7 "Financial  Statements" ,
Note 4 to the  Financial  Statements  for a  description  of the  terms of these
loans.

         The  Partnership  believes that the Square 254 loans will be able to be
refinanced on or prior to maturity. The Partnership is currently pursuing, along
with Square  254's other two general  partners,  refinancing  opportunities  and
believes  that the  Square  254  loans  will be  refinanced  prior to  maturity.
However,  if these  loans are not  extended,  refinanced  or  satisfied,  or the
property is not sold, it could be lost through foreclosure.

         Under  the  terms of the  Ground  Lease,  Square  254 was able to defer
certain amounts of its rent obligations. The deferred amount accrues interest at
12.4447% per annum.  Interest and deferred rent is repaid  monthly to the extent
Square 254 has sufficient cash flow. In 1996 and 1995,  Square 254 made payments
on the deferred  ground rent of principal and interest of $175,715 and $153,929,
respectively.  The  outstanding  balance of deferred ground rent on December 31,
1996 was  $890,324.  Square 254 is current  in its  obligation  under the Ground
Lease with respect to payment due on the deferred ground rent.

         National Land

     National Land receives  revenues solely from lease payment under the Ground
Lease and is  responsible  for debt service  payments.  In  connection  with its
acquisition of the Land, National Land obtained a loan in the original principal
amount of $43,101,900,  which loan matures in 2018. As of December 31, 1996, the
outstanding balance on this loan was $43,101,900.  In addition, accrued interest
on this loan totalled $32,245,634 at December 31, 1996. (See, Item 7, "Financial
Statements",  Note 3 to the Financial  Statements of National Place Land Limited
Partnership for a description of the terms of this loan.)

         In order for National  Land to sell its property or refinance  the loan
encumbering  the  property,  the  consent  of  all of the  general  partners  is
required.

Results of Operations

     The  Partnership's  loss from operations  increased from $7,666,897 for the
year ended December 31, 1995 to $8,205,951 for the year ended December 31, 1996.
This increase in loss from operations was due to an increase in interest expense
of  $658,747  which was only  partially  offset by a decrease  in related  party
interest of $135,296.  Interest expense increased due to increased principal and
accrued interest balance on the Partnership's  outstanding loans.  Related party
interest expense decreased due to the partial  satisfaction of  interest-bearing
affiliate loans made during 1996 as discussed  above. All other items of revenue
and expense remained relatively constant.

     The Operating Partnerships' net loss increased from $5,782,475 for the year
ended December 31, 1995 to $8,053,808 for the year ended December 31, 1996. This
increase is primarily attributable to a decrease in rental revenue and increases
in hotel operations  expense,  rental  operations  expense and interest expense.
Hotel operations  expense  increased by $143,947 during 1996 as compared to 1995
due to increases in the cost of food, rental equipment,  insurance,  repairs and
maintenance.  Rental  operations  revenue  decreased from $13,744,613 in 1995 to
$12,777,117 in 1996 as a result of the lease for the entire sixth floor expiring
in 1996.  Similarly,  rental operations expense increased in 1996 as compared to
1995 due to increases in depreciation and amortization,  repairs and maintenance
and  utilities  costs.  As a result of an  increase  in  interest  expense  from
National  Land and an  increase in interest  expense  with  respect to the Aetna
Loan, interest expense increased $966,510 in 1996 as compared to 1995. All other
items of revenue and expense remained relatively constant.

To the Partners of
Twelve AMH Associates Limited Partnership:


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Twelve AMH Associates Limited
Partnership  (the  "Partnership")  as of  December  31,  1996 and 1995,  and the
related  statements of operations,  changes in partners'  deficit and cash flows
for the years then ended.  These financial  statements are the responsibility of
the  Partnership's  management.  Our  responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements 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 the Partnership as of December
31, 1996 and 1995,  and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995


1.  ORGANIZATION

Twelve AMH Associates Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") was organized as a
Massachusetts  limited  partnership  under  the  Massachusetts  Uniform  Limited
Partnership  Act on April 24,  1984,  for the  purpose  of  acquiring  a 66.667%
general partnership interest in Square 254 Limited Partnership ("Square 254"), a
District of Columbia limited partnership  organized in 1979. On August 31, 1984,
the Partnership  acquired the interest in Square 254 from The Aetna Casualty and
Surety Company, a Connecticut corporation ("Aetna").

Square 254 has developed and presently  owns and operates a multiple use complex
known as "National Place", located at 1331 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington
D.C.  National Place consists of the 772-room J.W. Marriott Hotel, a retail area
containing  71,000 square feet,  office towers  containing  418,000 net rentable
square feet, a 400-car parking garage and the 1,600-seat  National Theatre which
is subleased  to a  not-for-profit  organization.  Square 254 leased the land on
which  National  Place is situated and the National  Theater  Building on a long
term basis from the Pennsylvania  Avenue Development  Corporation through August
11,  1988,  after  which it has been  leased from  National  Place Land  Limited
Partnership as described  below.  The Partnership will terminate on December 31,
2090, or sooner, in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement.  The
general  partners of the  Partnership  are Two  Winthrop  Properties,  Inc.  and
Linnaeus  Lexington  Associates  Limited  Partnership.  The general  partners of
Square 254 are  Quadrangle  Development  Corporation,  a  Delaware  corporation,
Marriott Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and the Partnership.

The  general   partners  have  contributed  $20  in  respect  of  their  general
partnership  interests in the  Partnership.  On August 31, 1984, the Partnership
admitted  investor  limited  partners who  subscribed  for a total of 600 Units,
representing capital contributions of $57,750,000.  Pursuant to the terms of the
Partnership  Agreement,  profits or losses and cash distributions (after certain
priority  distributions)  are allocated 99% to the investor limited partners and
1%  to  the  general  partners,   respectively.   Profits  or  losses  and  cash
distributions  resulting  from  the  sale or  refinancing  of the  Partnership's
interest in Square 254 will be allocated  70% to the investor  limited  partners
and 30% to the  general  partners  after  certain  priority  allocations  to the
partners of amounts  necessary to increase  their capital  balances to an amount
equal to their invested capital.

National Place Land Limited  Partnership (the "Land Partnership" or "NPLLP") was
organized  on August 8, 1988 to acquire and lease both the land  underlying  the
National  Place  complex (the "Land") and the National  Theater  Building for an
aggregate  purchase  price of  $43,101,900.  As  owners  of the  Land,  The Land
Partnership  partners  became  lessors under the 99 - year lease of the Property
(the "Lease") to Square 254 described in the Confidential  Memorandum dated June
11,  1984 (the  "Confidential  Memorandum").  Square  254,  as  lessee,  remains
obligated under the Lease to pay rent to the Land  Partnership,  as lessor.  The
rent  payments  under the Lease to the Land  Partnership  provide  the cash flow
which will service the  acquisition  debt  incurred by the Land  Partnership  in
connection  with the purchase of the Land. The  Partnership has a 66.67% general
partnership interest in the Land Partnership.

Each of the partners of NPLLP  contributed  to the capital of NPLLP its pro rata
share of the  approximately  $1,000,000 of expenses  incurred in connection with
the purchase of the Land and the closing of the $43,101,900  loan from AEW Trust
#136, a trust funded by certain  pension  funds.  As security for this loan, the
lender  received a first  priority  deed of trust in the property of NPLLP.  The
partners of NPLLP  (including the  Partnership)  also pledged a portion of their
respective  partnership interests in Square 254 to the lender. In addition,  the
Partnership  granted to Aetna a security interest in the Partnership's  interest
in NPLLP. The Partnership's pro rata share of NPLLP's initial capitalization was
$667,000,  which was loaned by Two Winthrop Properties,  Inc. to the Partnership
at an interest rate of the then current rate for five year U.S.  Treasury  Notes
plus 250 basis points.  This loan was repaid from the first  available cash flow
from  operations of the Partnership in 1996. Net profits and losses of NPLLP are
to be allocated  among  partners in proportion to their  respective  partnership
interests.


2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Financial Statements

The  Partnership  prepares its financial  statements  using the accrual basis of
accounting.  The  Partnership,  as an  investor  partnership,  accounts  for its
investments in Square 254 and NPLLP  (together,  the  "Operating  Partnerships")
using the equity method.  Under the equity method of accounting,  the investment
cost  (including  amounts  paid or  accrued)  is  subsequently  adjusted  by the
Partnership's share of the Operating  Partnerships' results of operations and by
distributions  received.  Costs relating to the acquisition and selection of the
investments  in the Operating  Partnerships  are  capitalized  to the investment
account and  amortized  over forty years.  Costs in excess of the  Partnership's
initial basis in the net assets of Square 254  (approximately  $14,800,000)  are
also  amortized  over  forty  years.  The  accounting  books and  records of the
Operating Partnerships are maintained using the accrual basis of accounting.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Investments in a money market account are considered to be cash  equivalents for
financial reporting purposes.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

    Deferred Costs

Amortization  of deferred  financing  cost is computed  using the  straight-line
method over the term of the Purchase Money Note.

Income Taxes

No  provision  for  income  taxes is  reflected  in the  accompanying  financial
statements  of the  Partnership.  Partners  are  required  to  report  on  their
individual tax return their allocable share of income, gains, losses, deductions
and credits of the Partnership.

Syndication Costs

Each  investor  limited  partner's  capital  account  has  been  reduced  by the
partner's pro-rata share of syndication costs incurred by the Partnership.

Use of Estimates

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.

     CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE OPERATING
     PARTNERSHIPS

     A.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     Rental Property

     Square  254  and  NPLLP  have  adopted  the  provisions  of SFAS  No.  121,
     Accounting  for the  Impairment  of  Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived
     Assets to be Disposed Of, on January 1, 1996. This Statement  requires that
     long-lived  assets and certain  identifiable  intangibles  be reviewed  for
     impairment  whenever events or changes in  circumstances  indicate that the
     carrying  amount  of an asset  may not be  recoverable.  Recoverability  of
     assets to be held and used is  measured  by a  comparison  of the  carrying
     amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the
     asset.  If such assets are considered to be impaired,  the impairment to be
     measured by the amount by which the  carrying  amount of the assets  exceed
     the fair value of the assets.  Assets to be disposed of are reported at the
     lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.  Adoption of
     this   Statement   did  not  have  a  material   impact  on  the  Operating
     Partnership's financial position, the results of its operations or its cash
     flows.

     Rental  property  includes  building  costs,  lease  costs  and  furniture,
     fixtures  and  equipment.  Building  costs  are  recorded  at cost  and are
     composed of the J.W.  Marriott Hotel and National  Place.  Depreciation  is
     computed using the  straight-line  method over 40 years commencing when the
     component  is placed in  service.  Depreciation  and  amortization  expense
     amounted to $7,697,341 and $7,557,237 for 1996 and 1995, respectively.

     Lease  costs  include  costs  of  tenant  improvements,  renovation  of the
     National Theater and office space leasing costs. Such amounts are amortized
     over the lesser of the term of the related  lease or the life of the asset,
     generally five to ten years, using the straight-line method.

     Furniture,  fixtures  and  equipment is recorded at cost.  Depreciation  is
     computed  based on the useful  lives of the assets,  generally  five to ten
     years, using the straight-line method.

     Deferred Financing Costs

     Costs  incurred in obtaining  permanent  loan  financing are amortized on a
     straight-line basis over the term of the loans.

      INVESTMENTS IN OPERATING PARTNERSHIPS (CONTINUED)

     Revenue Recognition

     Base rental revenue is reported for financial  statement purposes using the
     straight-line  method over the terms of the respective  leases.  Square 254
     records unbilled rent receivable representing the amount that straight-line
     rental revenue exceeds rents collectible under the lease agreements.

     Square 254 considers current  information and events regarding the tenants'
     ability  to  repay  their  obligations  in  determining  if  unbilled  rent
     receivable is impaired.  When it is probable that Square 254 will be unable
     to collect all rents due according to the contractual lease terms, unbilled
     rent receivable is considered to be impaired.  The amount of the impairment
     is  measured  based on the  present  value of  expected  future cash flows.
     Impairment  losses are recorded  through a loss on the write-off of assets.
     Cash receipts on impaired  unbilled rent  receivable  are applied to reduce
     the remaining outstanding balance and as rental revenue, thereafter.

     Revenues from hotel operations are recorded when earned, in accordance with
     accrual basis accounting.

     Income Taxes

          No provision has been included in the financial statements for federal
          income taxes since  income or loss of the  Operating  Partnerships  is
          required to be  reported by the  respective  partners.  The  Operating
          Partnerships are subject to local franchise taxes.

          Certain  items  are  treated   differently  for  financial   statement
          reporting and tax return purposes.

     Cash Equivalents

     For financial statement purposes,  the Operating Partnerships consider cash
     in the hotel replacement reserve account and funds invested in money market
     accounts  (that  have  maturities  of  three  months  or  less)  to be cash
     equivalents.

     The hotel replacement  reserve account is equal to 5 percent of the hotel's
     gross  revenues  per year with the balance  limited to 3.5 percent of gross
     revenue for the preceding three years. The cash is not restricted.

     Use of Estimates

     Square  254 and  NPLLP  have  made a number of  estimates  and  assumptions
     relating to the reporting of assets and  liabilities  and the disclosure of
     contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial  statements in
     conformity with generally accepted  accounting  principles.  Actual results
     could differ from these estimates.

     Reclassification

          Certain 1995 amounts have been  reclassified  to conform with the 1996
          presentation.

    15-year permanent loan at 11 5/8% interest.  Principal and interest payments
    of $1,178,000 are due monthly based on a 38-year amortization  schedule. The
    current interest rate is subject to upward adjustment effective June 1996 to
    a new rate not to exceed 13 5/8% per annum. The loan is due July 1999 with a
    balloon payment of approximately $114,400,000 plus accrued interest thereon.
    The loan may be prepaid on or after July 1996 with a  prepayment  premium of
    3%. Such premium is reduced by 1% each year.  However,  if the interest rate
    is adjusted upward, as mentioned above, the loan may be prepaid without
    penalty.                                                                           $116,208,875       $116,797,851

    15-year  permanent loan at 13% interest.  Principal and interest payments of
    $109,200 are due monthly based on a 38-year amortization  schedule. The loan
    is due in May 1999 with a balloon payment of  approximately  $9,650,000 plus
    accrued interest thereon.  The loan may be prepaid on or after May 1996 with
    a
    prepayment premium of 3%.  Such premium is reduced by 1% each year.                   9,758,817          9,797,773
                                                                                     ---- ---------  ----    ---------

                                                                                        125,967,692        126,595,624

The above loans are secured by the building and tenant  improvements.  There are
no  restrictive  covenants or provisions on the loans.  Square 254 has estimated
the fair value of its notes payable at December 31, 1996 to be  $143,130,000  by
discounting  the future cash flows under the notes payable using borrowing rates
currently  available  to the  Partnership  for  notes  with  similar  terms  and
maturities.

    NPLLP has obtained long term financing from the AEW Trust #136 as follows:

    30-year  permanent  loan at 11% interest and  additional  interest  based on
    NPLLP's  net cash  flow,  as defined in the loan  agreement.  Payment  terms
    include monthly interest payments of $187,827, with any unpaid base interest
    in excess of the minimum  monthly  interest  payment  deferred  and added to
    principal, up to a maximum principal outstanding of $300,000,000. All unpaid
    principal and interest is due in August 2018, including "shared appreciation
    interest," which is based on the capitalized  value of the land lease and on
    the  lender's  required  rate of  return.  The note is  secured  by  NPLLP's
    interest in the land lease. Also, NPLLP's partners have assigned portions of
    their interests in Square 254 Limited Partnership as additional collateral.

Marriott   Corporation   ("Marriott"),   a  general  partner  of  the  Operating
Partnerships,  which has an initial term of 30 years commencing with the opening

management agreement, the Marriott Corporation will retain a fee equal to 20% of
the  operating  profit of the hotel subject to certain  deferrals,  with the 80%
balance of the  operating  profit to be paid to Square 254. This fee amounted to
$2,887,889 and $2,887,495 in 1996 and 1995, respectively. There were no deferred
payments due under this agreement as of December 31, 1996 and 1995. In addition,
the Marriott Corporation earns an amount equal to 3 percent of gross revenues to
cover  costs and  expenses  incurred  as managing  agent.  This fee  amounted to
$1,647,507 and $1,642,075 in 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  Total fees earned by
Marriott  under this contract  amounted to $4,535,396 and $4,529,570 in 1996 and

Square 254 has entered into a contract for partnership  management services with
QDC  Property   Management,   Inc.,  an  affiliate  of  Quadrangle   Development
Corporation ("QDC"), a general partner of the Operating Partnerships.  Under the
terms of the  agreement,  which is in effect  until April 1999,  the  management
company  will be paid a fee equal to 3 percent  of the gross  receipts  from the

Price Index. Management fees earned by QDC Property Management, Inc. amounted to
$408,006  and  $369,477  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  1996  and  1995,
respectively.

Square 254  reimburses  Quadrangle  Management  Corporation  ("QMC") for certain
costs incurred by QMC on its behalf, such as engineering, janitorial, and tenant
services.  Total  reimbursable  costs paid to QMC were  $633,550 and $601,364 in
1996 and 1995, respectively.

Square 254 entered into a garage  management  agreement with Quik Park, Inc., an

On September  12, 1979,  Square 254 entered into a 99-year land lease  agreement
with  Pennsylvania  Avenue  Development  Corporation  ("PADC"),  a wholly  owned
subsidiary of the United States government.  The lease was subsequently  assumed
by NPLLP on August 11, 1988 in  connection  with the purchase of the leased land
and  deferred  rent by NPLLP.  The lease  provides  for a basic  annual  rent of
$2,100,000  payable in equal  monthly  installments  and  rebates and other rent
deferrals based on the Partnership's  compliance with certain criteria stated in
the lease. The deferred portion accrues interest at 12.4447 percent,  compounded
monthly. Payments on the deferred rent and accrued interest are payable to NPLLP
in equal  monthly  installments  over a 36 year period  which began in May 1984.
Square 254 has the option to prepay any or all of the  deferred  rent or accrued
interest  thereon.  Additionally,  the  lease  provides  for  additional  rental
payments when net cash flow is achieved.  No additional rent was due for 1996 or
1995 since there was no net cash flow, as defined in the lease agreement.

   The effects of this lease have been  eliminated for purposes of the condensed
   financial statement information presented above.

5. PURCHASE MONEY NOTE

   In  1984,  the  Partnership  acquired  Aetna's  66.667%  general  partnership
   interest in Square 254. The purchase  price of  $60,000,000  for the interest
   was evidenced by a cash payment of  $38,000,000  and a  nonrecourse  purchase
   money  promissory note ("Purchase  Money Note") of $22,000,000.  The Purchase
   Money Note is secured by the  Partnership's  investment in Square 254 as well
   as a security interest in the  Partnership's  interest in NPLLP. The Purchase
   Money  Note  bears  simple  interest  at a rate of 15% per  annum,  with  all
   interest  payable  at  maturity,  August  31,  1999.  In the  event  that the
   Partnership wishes to refinance  outstanding principal and interest under the
   note at maturity  and the  Partnership  is unable to  refinance  with another
   financial  institution  on terms then  prevailing  in the  market,  Aetna has
   agreed to refinance  outstanding  principal and interest at prevailing market
   rates for a term of not less  than 10 years.  In  accordance  with  generally
   accepted accounting  principles,  the Partnership has discounted the Purchase
   Money  Note at an  imputed  interest  rate of 12%,  compounded  monthly.  The
   Purchase Money Note outstanding at December 31 is as follows:

</TABLE>

   In 1996,  the  Purchase  Money Note was sold by Aetna to another  insurance
   company.

   It is not  practicable  to  estimate  the  fair  value of the note due to the
   nature of the  instrument and the absence of quoted market prices for similar
   financial instruments.

6.   NOTES AND FEES PAYABLE

     The Partnership  entered into an Operating Deficit Guarantee Agreement with
     Aetna which required Aetna to lend to the  Partnership an aggregate  amount
     of up  to  $20,000,000,  as  needed  by  the  Partnership,  which  in  turn
     contributed or loaned such amounts to Square 254. The Partnership's ability
     to  borrow  under  this   agreement   expired  on  December  31,  1989.  No
     contributions  have been made since 1987 when the  Partnership  contributed
     $1,124,678  to fund Square 254's  operating  deficits.  Advances  under the
     Operating  Deficit  Guarantee  Agreement  ("Operating  Deficit Notes") bear
     interest  at the rate of 15.5% per annum and are due and  payable  together
     with  interest  on or  before  August  31,  1999.  In the  event  that  the
     Partnership  wishes to refinance  outstanding  principal and interest under
     the note at  maturity  and the  Partnership  is  unable to  refinance  with
     another financial institution on terms then prevailing in the market, Aetna
     has agreed to refinance  outstanding  principal  and interest at prevailing
     market rates for a term of not less than 10 years. The outstanding  balance
     of these  advances was  $9,873,978  as of December  31, 1996 and 1995.  The
     balance of the  accrued  interest on these  advances  was  $17,672,864  and
     $16,121,141 as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

     In 1996,  the  Operating  Deficit  Notes  were  sold by  Aetna  to  another
     insurance company.


     It is not  practicable  to estimate  the fair value of the notes due to the
     nature of the  instruments  and the  absence  of quoted  market  prices for
     similar financial instruments.

7.   TAXABLE LOSS

     The  Partnership's tax basis net loss for the years ended December 31, 1996
     and  1995  differs from  the net  loss  for  financial  reporting  purposes
     primarily  due  to  differences  in the  recognition  of  depreciation  and
     capitalized  costs. A  reconciliation  of net loss for financial  reporting
     purposes to federal  income tax basis net loss for the years ended December
     31, 1996 and 1995 follows:

8.   TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

          The  Partnership's  transactions  with the general  partners and their
          affiliates include the following:

          Expenses  for  1996 and  1995  include  an  annual  management  fee of
          $300,000  earned  by  an  affiliate  of  a  General  Partner.   Unpaid
          management  fees payable to this affiliate  amounted to $3,300,000 and
          $3,400,000 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

          The Partnership obtained a loan from Two Winthrop Properties, Inc. for
          $667,000 which was used to fund the Partnership's share of the initial
          capitalization of NPLLP (see Note 1). The loan matured on September 1,
          1993 and bears interest at 11.44%. Two Winthrop  Properties,  Inc. had
          extended the maturity date to December 31, 1996.  Accrued  interest on
          this advance  amounted to $822,284 at December 31, 1995. In 1996,  the
          Partnership repaid Two Winthrop Properties,  Inc. all outstanding loan
          principal  and  accrued  interest.  Total loan  interest  expense  was
          $17,588 and $152,884  for the years ended  December 31, 1996 and 1995,
          respectively.

          Winthrop Financial made non-interest  bearing advances for the payment
          of professional  fees.  Outstanding  advances  amounted to $129,172 at
          December 31, 1995. All outstanding amounts were repaid in 1996.


9.     LIQUIDITY

     During 1996, the Partnership received $3,163,926 of cash distributions from
     the Operating  Partnerships.  These funds are being used primarily to repay
     amounts that had been advanced by affiliates  and to pay fees that had been
     accrued to affiliates.  Prior to 1996, the Partnership relied on loans from
     affiliates  as  its  primary  source  of  liquidity.  In  the  future,  the
     Partnership  will  continue  to  require  cash  to  repay  amounts  due  to
     affiliates,  pay  management  fees and to pay  general  and  administrative
     expenses  and may  require  cash to  satisfy  its  obligation  to fund  any
     operating deficits of the Operating  Partnerships.  To the extent required,
     affiliated  entities have agreed to provide funds to the  Partnership in an
     amount sufficient to satisfy the Partnership's operating requirements.
