Notes to the Financial Statements

The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the Partnership's annual 1995 audited financial statements within Form 10-K.

The unaudited financial statements include all adjustments which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of financial
position as of September 30, 1996 and the results of operations for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, the statements of cash flows
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 and the statement of
partners' capital for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.  Results of
operations for the period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full year.

No significant events have occurred subsequent to fiscal year 1995, 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
- -------------------------------
At September 30, 1996, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents totaling
$446,608 compared with $676,893 at December 31, 1995.  The decrease is due to
capital additions and cash distributions exceeding net cash provided by
operations.  The cash and cash equivalents balance includes a working capital
reserve to cover anticipated costs associated with the lease-up of vacant space
at Atrium I.

While a tenant leasing 11,674 square feet or approximately 12% of the
Property's total leasable area vacated a portion of its space during the
quarter, it continues to lease 6,770 square feet on a month-to-month basis.  It
is uncertain whether the tenant will renew its lease.  Additionally, a tenant
which executed an 8,000 square foot lease during the second quarter of this
year, expanded its space by 1,507 square feet during the third quarter. As a
result of this leasing activity the Property was 91% leased at September 30,
1996 versus 85% leased for the comparable period in 1995.

Prepaid expenses increased to $229,842 at September 30, 1996 from $159,429 at
December 31, 1995, primarily due to leasing commissions associated with
increased leasing activity at the property.  Deferred rent receivable totaled
$105,960 at September 30, 1996 compared with $141,390 at December 31, 1995. The
decrease is primarily attributable to the amortization of rental concessions
and step rents included in certain leases at Atrium I.

The Partnership will be using cash from operations and cash reserves to fund
leasing commissions and tenant improvement costs associated with recent leasing
activity.  To ensure that the Partnership has sufficient funds available to
meet these expenses, cash distributions were suspended beginning with the 1996
second quarter distribution which would have been paid in August.  A portion of
these tenant improvements have been completed and one of the tenants has taken
occupancy of its space.  However, distributions will remain suspended until the
remaining tenant improvements are substantially completed.  The General Partner
will review the Partnership's operations and cash reserves on a quarterly basis
to determine when distributions may be reinstated.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Operations resulted in a net loss of $38,616 and net income of $963 for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively, compared with net
income of $39,159 and $129,966 for the three and nine months ended September
30, 1995, respectively.  The decreases are primarily attributable to lower
tenant expense reimbursements and interest and other income, and higher
property operating expenses.

Rental income totaled $300,178 and $957,032 for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1996, respectively, largely unchanged from $317,782 and $922,196
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995, respectively.  Tenant
expense reimbursements totaled $3,458 and $21,667 for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1996, compared to $53,834 and $98,568 for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1995. The decreases are primarily due to lower
electrical and miscellaneous income in 1996.  Interest and other income totaled
$6,653 and $23,636 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996,
respectively, compared with $12,592 and $83,875 for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1995. The decreases are mainly due to the Partnership's
lower average cash balances in 1996, and the receipt in 1995 of an early lease
termination payment.

Property operating expenses consist primarily of on-site personnel expenses,
utility costs, repair and maintenance costs, property management fees,
insurance and real estate taxes. Property operating expenses totaled $214,263
and $586,166 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared
with $207,436 and $547,613 for the comparable periods in 1995.  The increases
are primarily attributable to higher legal expenses and snow removal and
electric utility costs.
