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 recurring
adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair
statement of financial position as of August 31, 1999 and the results of
operations and cash flows for the nine months ended August 31, 1999 and 1998 and
the statement of changes in partners' capital (deficit) for the nine months
ended August 31, 1999.

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
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, the Partnership's remaining property, Crosswest Office Center
("Crosswest") was sold for a selling price of approximately $12.3 million net of
existing mortgage debt and closing adjustments, which resulted in a gain of
approximately $2.6 million which has been reflected in the Consolidated
Statement of Operations.

As a result of the sale of Crosswest, the Partnership paid a cash distribution
to Limited Partners of approximately $10.4 million on May 14, 1999.

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).

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

The Partnership's final property, Crosswest, was sold on December 29, 1998 to an
unaffiliated buyer, Crosswest Associates, L.P. (the "Buyer") for net proceeds of
approximately $12.3 million. As a result of the sale, the General Partners paid
a cash distribution of approximately $10.4 million, 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 fourth quarter of 1999.

The Partnership had cash and cash equivalents at August 31, 1999 of $836,180
compared with $259,141 at November 30, 1998. The increase is primarily
attributable to net proceeds from the sale of Crosswest. At August 31, 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 $15,455 at August 31, 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 $120,635 at August 31, 1999 compared with $731,125 at
November 30, 1998. The decrease is primarily attributable to decreases in
accrued property expenses, security deposits, and payables related to
improvements to Crosswest.

Other assets totaled $73,232 at August 31, 1999, compared with $112,873 at
November 30, 1998. Included in other assets is a receivable in the amount of
$73,004, net of related expenses for real estate taxes, which are expected to be
refunded by October 31, 1999.

Due to affiliates totaled $323,515 at August 31, 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 the sale of Crosswest 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.

primarily attributable to the sale of Crosswest.

months ended August 31, 1999, compared with $284,040 and $902,595 for the three

reductions in all operating expense categories due to the sale of Crosswest.

from the corresponding period in 1998, reflecting the payoff of the mortgage
balance upon the sale of Crosswest. General and administrative expenses totaled

compared with $119,443 and $218,430 for the three and nine months ended August
31, 1998. The increase for the nine months ended August 31, 1999 is primarily
attributable to marketing fees and post closing adjustments relating to the sale
of Crosswest.
