   PBP is not being paid on a current basis for general and administrative
expenses other than printing costs. During the nine months ended September 30,
1997, PBP was reimbursed $100,000 which was applied to prior years' general and
administrative expenses due. At September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the
total liability outstanding to PBP was $667,000 and $705,000, respectively. At
September 30, 1997, the total liability outstanding to Glenborough was $23,000.
 
   The Partnership maintains an account with the Prudential Institutional
Liquidity Portfolio Fund, an affiliate of PBP, for investment of its available
cash in short-term instruments pursuant to the guidelines established by the
Partnership Agreement.
 
   Prudential Securities Incorporated, an affiliate of PBP, owns 180 depositary
units at September 30, 1997.

      ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
   The Partnership generated cash from operations of $971,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997. During the nine months ended September 30,
1997, the Partnership disbursed $592,000 for building and tenant improvements,
primarily related to the Montrose, Poplar Towers and Totem Valley properties. In
order to keep the properties competitive, building and tenant improvements will
continue to be required.
 
   The Partnership had cash of $1,154,000 at September 30, 1997. PBP is not
being reimbursed for its general and administrative expenses (other than
printing) on a current basis; however, payments for past due amounts of $100,000
were made in the nine months ended September 30, 1997. At September 30, 1997,
the total liability outstanding (including printing) was $667,000. Cash on hand
plus any cash generated from operations may not be sufficient to fund building
and tenant improvements and to pay deferred general and administrative expenses.
 
   The General Partners of the Partnership believe that now is the appropriate
time to sell the Partnership's properties given current market conditions,
increased availability of investor capital, increased purchasing activity and a
favorable interest rate environment, among other reasons.
 
   The General Partners filed a revised preliminary proxy statement in October
1997 with the Securities and Exchange Commission that will be sent to limited
partners requesting, among other things, their consent to sell the Partnership's
properties to Glenborough Realty Trust Incorporated, an affiliated entity of the
Glenborough General Partner, at a price equal to the appraised value of the
Partnership's properties. Such sale will be subject to certain conditions which
are more fully discussed in the proxy statement. It is anticipated that the
proxy statement will be mailed to the limited partners in November 1997.
 
Results of Operations
 
   The Partnership's net loss decreased $215,000 and $182,000, respectively, for
the nine and three months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to 1996 for the
reasons discussed below.
 
   Property operating revenues increased $447,000 and $279,000, respectively,
for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to 1996
primarily due to increases at Montrose, Gateway and Totem Valley as a result of
increased occupancies at the properties.
 
   Recovery of expenses decreased $30,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 1997 as compared to 1996 primarily due to lower tenant recoveries at the
Montrose property as a result of new tenant leases.
 
   The Partnership recorded a gain of $82,000 from the disposition of an
investment in a captive insurance company for the nine and three months ended
September 30, 1997.
 
   Property operating expenses decreased $107,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 as compared to 1996. The variance was mainly due to a
reversal of $68,000 relating to a prior period accrued expense; a $24,000
decrease at Montrose due to lower tenant work orders and real estate taxes; and
a $21,000 decrease at Park Plaza due to lower management salaries and utilities
expense.
 
   Depreciation and amortization increased $364,000 and $156,000, respectively,
for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to 1996
primarily due to the amortization of loan fees relating to the December 1996
mortgage refinancing.
