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 May 31, 1999 and the results of operations
and cash flows for the six months ended May 31, 1999 and 1998 and the statement
of changes in partners' capital (deficit) for the six months ended May 31, 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
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).

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 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 May 31, 1999 of $876,674
compared with $259,141 at November 30, 1998. The increase is primarily
attributable to net proceeds from the sale of Crosswest. At May 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 May 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 $127,903 at May 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 $75,918 at May 31, 1999, compared with $112,873 at November
30, 1998. Included in other assets is a receivable in the amount of $74,639, net
of related expenses for real estate taxes, which are expected to be refunded by
October 31, 1999.

Due to affiliates totaled $300,347 at May 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.

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

Partnership operations resulted in net loss of $79,022 for the three months
ended May 31, 1999 and net income of $2,514,787 for the six months ended May 31,
1999, compared with net income of $29,132 for the three months ended May 31,
1998 and net loss of $62,824 for the six months ended May 31, 1998. The change
from net loss to net income for the six months ended May 31, 1998 to May 31,
1999 is primarily attributable to the sale of Crosswest.

Rental income totaled $-0- and $241,652 for the three and six months ended May
31, 1999, compared with $704,034 and $1,389,309 for the three and six months
ended May 31, 1998. The decrease is attributable to the disposition of
Crosswest. Interest income totaled $113,045 and $210,289 for the three and six
months ended May 31, 1999 compared with $9,468 and $13,622 for the corresponding
period in 1998. The increase is primarily due to higher average cash balances.

months ended May 31, 1999, compared with $288,102 and $618,555 for the three and

the corresponding period in 1998, reflecting the payoff of the mortgage balance
upon the sale of Crosswest. General and administrative expenses totaled $160,569

adjustments relating to the sale of Crosswest.
