                          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 nine month
periods ended September 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 - 123 Office Building Foreclosure Proceedings.)

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

Note 3 - Related Party Transactions

   For the nine month period ended September 30, 1995, management fees paid to
related parties are as follows:

                                                                              
 The Wynnewood Company, Inc.             $ 70,637            
 Paragon Group                             29,355            
 Capstar Hotels                           113,492            
                                         $213,484            

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.


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

Results of Operations

   For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the Partnership recognized net
income of $62,078 compared to a net loss of $94,439 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1994.  A net loss of $334,354 was recognized for the three months
ended September 30, 1995, compared to a net loss of $239,750 for the comparable
period of 1994.  The net losses realized for the three months ended September
30, 1995 and 1994 are due to the seasonal variation in occupancy at the Green
Valley and Tucson Airport Hotels.
  
   The increase in net income for the nine months ended September 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 room rates and the improvements made to the Tucson restaurant in 
1994. Partially offsetting the increase in hotel revenues was an increase in 
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 three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 1995, compared to the corresponding periods of 1994,
as a result of collections from the Laventhol and Horwath lawsuit in 1994.  It
is unknown whether additional collections will be made from this lawsuit. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

   At September 30, 1995, the Partnership held unrestricted cash and
certificates of deposit totalling $3,297,347.  The present cash reserves of the
Partnership are believed to be sufficient to meet the foreseeable needs of the
Partnership.

   The Partnership has entered into a new franchise agreement at its Green
Valley hotel which will replace the existing franchise.  The changeover costs
and fees related to the new franchise are estimated at approximately $65,000
which approximates the estimated annual savings from this change.  The initial
costs are being funded from existing cash reserves.

   Occupancy at Shallowford Corners shopping center was approximately 88% 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 September 30.  Both the
Tucson Hotel and Green Valley Hotel are performing in line with expectations.


Liquidity and Capital Resources  (continued)

   On July 20, 1995, the Partnership executed a purchase agreement to 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 land
purchase was consummated on October 12, 1995 for a price of $535,661 which was
funded from existing cash reserves.  This acquisition is believed to provide
additional flexibility to the existing hotel.  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
September 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.
