                            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                     (Unaudited)


      Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

         The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
      accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
      financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item
      310(b) of Regulation S-B.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the
      information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
      principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of the
      General Partner, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
      accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
      included.  Operating results for the three and six month periods ended
      June 30, 1995, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
      expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1995.  For further
      information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto
      included in the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the
      fiscal year ended December 31, 1994.


      Note 2 - Basis of Accounting

         The financial statements include the Partnership's operating
      division, Perimeter Square Shopping Center ("Perimeter Square"), and the
      assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses of its joint ventures
      in DBL Airport Valley Limited Partnership ("DBLAV") and Shallowford
      Corners Shopping Center ("Shallowford").

         The Partnership had a 77.53% interest in the 123 Office Building
      (Tyson's Corner) joint venture.  On March 14, 1994, the building was
      lost in a foreclosure proceeding, and on November 15, 1994, the joint
      venture was liquidated.  (See Note 4 for 123 Office Building Foreclosure
      Proceedings.)

         Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1994 information to
      conform to the 1995 presentation.

      Note 4 - 123 Office Building Foreclosure Proceedings

         Tyson's Corner was formed on August 22, 1985, pursuant to the Uniform
      Partnership Act of the Commonwealth of Virginia for the purpose of
      acquiring, operating and leasing a 40,727 square foot office building
      known as the 123 Office Building located in Fairfax County, Virginia.
      The Partnership had a 77.53% interest in Tyson's Corner, while Drexel
      Burnham Lambert Real Estate Associates II, an affiliated entity, held
      the remaining 22.47% interest.

         In October 1993, the lease for the principal tenant of the 123 Office
      Building expired and the tenant, who was occupying approximately 85% of
      the building, vacated the premises.  In November 1993, debt service
      payments to the 123 Office Building mortgagee were discontinued.  The
      decision to discontinue making such payments was due to the anticipated
      vacancy of the principal tenant and the General Partner's expectation
      that it would not be able to lease the premises within a reasonable
      period of time without having to make substantial renovations.  The
      mortgagee exercised its option to call the loan in 1994, and on March
      14, 1994, concluded its foreclosure proceedings on the property.  On
      November 15, 1994, the Tyson's Corner joint venture was liquidated with
      the remaining assets distributed to the joint venturers.

         At December 31, 1993, the Partnership had provided for a potential
      real estate valuation loss in the amount of $1,689,361 in relation to
      the foreclosure.

      ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

      Results of Operations

         For the six months ended June 30, 1995, the Partnership recognized
      net income of $396,432 compared to net income of $145,311 for the six
      months ended June 30, 1994.  A net loss of $57,928 was recognized for
      the three months ended June 30, 1995, compared to a net loss of $194,051
      for the comparable period in 1994.  This fluctuation in quarterly net
      income is due to the seasonal variation in occupancy at the Green Valley
      and Tucson Airport Hotels during the second quarter of 1995 and 1994.
      During the three months ended March 31, 1995, the hotels had net
      operating income of $933,628 compared to $767,002 for the corresponding
      period in 1994.  For the three months ended June 30, 1995, the hotels
      had net operating income of $395,417 compared to the net income of
      $273,876 for the three months ended June 30, 1994.

         The increase in net income for the six months ended June 30, 1995,
      was due primarily to the increase in hotel revenue resulting from
      increased room, food, and beverage revenues at the Tucson Airport Hotel.
      This increase is due to higher occupancy, average rates and the
      improvements made to the Tucson restaurant in 1994.  Partially
      offsetting the increase in hotel revenues was an increase in variable
      hotel operating expenses.  Also contributing to the increase in net
      income was an increase in interest income due to investments in higher
      yielding short-term certificates of deposit in 1995.  The decrease in
      rental revenue and rental operating expenses was primarily due to the
      foreclosure of the 123 Office Building in March of 1994. Other income
      was lower for the six months ended June 30, 1995, compared to the
      corresponding period in 1994 as a result of $23,900 in collections from
      a lawsuit in 1994.

      Liquidity and Capital Resources

         At June 30, 1995, the Partnership held unrestricted cash and
      certificates of deposit totalling $3,483,564.  The present cash reserves
      of the Partnership are believed to be sufficient to meet the foreseeable
      needs of the Partnership.

         The Partnership has executed a new franchise agreement at its Green
      Valley hotel which would replace the existing franchise.  Upon approval,
      the changeover costs and fees related to the new franchise are estimated
      to be $65,000 which equals the estimated annual savings from this
      change.  The initial costs will be funded from existing cash reserves.

         Occupancy at Shallowford Corners shopping center was approximately
      89% at the end of the quarter and management has begun to market this
      center for sale.  The Perimeter Square shopping center was 94% occupied
      at June 30, 1995.  Both the Tucson Hotel and Green Valley Hotel are
      performing in line with expectations.

         On July 20, 1995, the Partnership executed a purchase agreement
      whereby it would acquire approximately three acres of vacant land
      immediately to the north of, and adjacent to, its hotel in Tucson.
      Earlier in the year, an agreement to acquire vacant land to the South of
      the hotel expired according to its terms.  The price for the proposed
      acquisition approximates $550,000 and would be funded from existing cash
      reserves with closing planned after satisfactory completion

                                        8

      of normal due diligence.  The acquisition is believed to provide
      additional flexibility to the existing hotel and there are no immediate
      plans for its development.

         Other than the items referred to above, the Partnership has not
      entered into any material commitments for capital expenditures at any of
      its properties as of June 30, 1995.  In December 1994, the Partnership
      approved a distribution of $10 per partnership interest, totalling
      $599,050, which was paid from existing cash reserves in February 1995.
