NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the Partnership's annual 1998 audited consolidated financial statements
within Form 10-K.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include all normal and
reoccurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to
present a fair statement of financial position as of February 28, 1999 and the
results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended February 28,
1999 and 1998 and the statement of changes in partners' capital (deficit) for
the three months ended February 28, 1999.

The General Partners engaged a nationally recognized real estate brokerage firm
to assist in the marketing of Crosswest Office Center ("Crosswest").
Accordingly, the Partnership's remaining real estate assets, deferred rent
receivable and prepaid leasing costs were reclassified on the consolidated
balance sheets at August 31, 1998 to "Real estate assets held for disposition."
The Partnership has also suspended recording depreciation and amortization in
accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
be Disposed Of." On December 29, 1998, Crosswest was sold for a selling price of
$12,280,281 net of existing mortgage debt and closing adjustments, which
resulted in a gain of $2,672,651 which has been reflected in the Consolidated
Statement of Operations.

No other significant events have occurred subsequent to fiscal year 1998, and no
material contingencies exist which would require disclosure in this interim
report per Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01, Paragraph (a)(5).

Part I, Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
                 Condition and Results of Operations

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

In June 1998, the General Partners engaged a nationally recognized real estate
brokerage firm to assist in the marketing of Crosswest. Crosswest was sold on
December 29, 1998 to Crosswest Associates, L.P. ("the Buyer") for net proceeds
of $12,280,281. As a result of the sale, the General Partners will pay a cash
distribution in the near future, representing a portion of the net sales
proceeds. The remaining proceeds will be used to pay the Partnership's
liabilities and expenses through dissolution and to establish a reserve for
contingencies. Any cash remaining after the payment of these items and
establishment of reserves will be distributed upon the dissolution of the
Partnership which is expected to occur in the third quarter of 1999.

The Partnership had cash and cash equivalents at February 28, 1999 of
$11,319,346 compared with $259,141 at November 30, 1998. The increase is
primarily attributable to net proceeds from the sale of Crosswest. At February
28, 1999, the Partnership's restricted cash balance was $-0- compared with
$601,805 at November 30, 1998. The decrease is attributable to the transfer of
tenant security deposits upon the sale of Crosswest.

Prepaid expenses totaled $14,872 at February 28, 1999, compared with $56,096 at
November 30, 1998. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in prepaid
real estate taxes resulting from the sale of Crosswest. Accounts payable and
accrued expenses totaled $132,029 at February 28, 1999 compared with $731,125 at
November 30, 1998. The decrease is primarily attributable to decreases in
prepaid rent, security deposits, real estate taxes and payables related to
improvements to Crosswest.

Other assets totaled $77,625 at February 28, 1999, compared with $112,873 at
November 30, 1998. Included in other assets is a receivable in the amount of
$74,639 for real estate taxes which are expected to be refunded by October 31,
1999.

Due to affiliates totaled $314,847 at February 28, 1999, compared with
$2,010,531 at November 30, 1998. The decrease mainly reflects the reimbursement
of certain fees and expenses which were previously made by the General Partners
during the origination of the Partnership. Since the full amount of units
offered was not sold, insufficient funds were raised to meet the Partnership's
commitments with respect to the acquisition and lease-up of the properties. In
order to meet these commitments, the General Partners postponed reimbursement of
certain fees and expenses. Funds made available from cash flow from operations
were used to pay such amounts due to affiliates.

On December 29, 1998, the mortgage payable of $2,352,981 was paid from the
proceeds of the sale of Crosswest.

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

Partnership operations resulted in net income of $2,593,809 for the three months
ended February 28, 1999, compared with net losses of $91,956 for the three
months ended February 28, 1998. The change from net loss to net income is
primarily attributable to the sale of Crosswest.
