Results of Operations
Operating revenue from rental income was $1,608,500 in the
quarter ended June 30, 1999, compared to $1,625,500 for the same
period of 1998, a decrease of 1%. For the six month period ended
June 30, 1999 rental income was $3,165,000 compared to $3,268,000
for the same period in 1998, a decrease of 3.1%. Rental income
was provided by the three sites for the comparative three and six
month periods as set forth below:
Percent
Three Months Ended Increase Increase
6/30/99 6/30/98 (Decrease) (Decrease)
Pelican Sound $ 704,900 $ 683,900 $ 21,000 3.1%

Meadows II 1,014,300 1,030,900 (16,600) (1.6%)
Town Place 792,200 862,500 (70,300) (8.2%)
Total $3,165,400 $3,268,000 $(102,600) 3.1%
The $17,000 decrease in rental income for the second quarter,
compared to the prior year's second quarter, is attributed
primarily to a 3% decrease in occupancy (from 93% to 90%),
partially offset by a 3% increase in gross potential rent. The
$17,000 decrease consisted of decreases at Meadows II
of $21,000 and Town Place of $17,000, offset by an increase at
Pelican Sound of $21,000. The $21,000 decrease at The Meadows II
is attributed to a 3% increase in gross potential rent offset by
a 7% decrease in average occupancy (from 91% to 84%). The $17,000
decrease at Town Place is attributed to a 3% increase in gross
potential rent, offset by a 2% decrease in average occupancy
(from 95% to 93%). The $21,000 increase at Pelican Sound is
attributed to a 2% increase in gross potential rent. Occupancy
of 94% at Pelican Sound was the same as the comparative quarter.
The decrease in occupancy is viewed as a direct response to the
efforts made to increase asking rents. Although occupancy
decreased at two of the three apartment sites, this is not
considered to be the start of a trend to lower occupancy and
revenues.
The $103,000 decrease in rental income for the six month period,
compared to the prior year's same six month period, is attributed
primarily to a 5% decrease in occupancy (from 94% to 89%),
partially offset by a 3% increase in gross potential rent. The
$103,000 decrease consisted of decreases at all three apartment
sites: Town Place ($70,000), Meadows II ($16,000), and
Pelican Sound ($16,000). The $70,000 decrease at Town Place is
attributed to a 3% increase in gross potential rent, offset by a
6% decrease in average occupancy (from 96% to 90%). The $17,000
decrease at The Meadows II is attributed to a 3% increase in
gross potential rent offset by a 6% decrease in average
occupancy (from 92% to 86%). The $16,000 decrease at
Pelican Sound is attributed to a 3% increase in gross potential
rent, offset by a 3% decrease in occupancy (from 95% to 92%).
The decrease in occupancy is viewed as a direct response to the
efforts made to increase asking rents. Although occupancy
decreased at all three apartment sites, this is not considered to
be the start of a trend to lower occupancy and revenues.
The average monthly gross potential rent per unit at the
Apartments for the second quarter of 1999 and for the six month
period of 1999, and the comparative periods in 1998, is set forth
below:
Number Three Months Ended Six Months Ended
of Units 6/30/99 6/30/98 6/30/99 6/30/98
Pelican Sound 379 $635 $621 $634 $617

Town Place 240 $621 $603 $622 $601
All Rental Units 935 $623 $607 $623 $604
"Gross potential rent" represents the asking rent established by
the Partnership for a vacant apartment plus the rent in effect
for occupied apartments.
The average occupancy level at the Apartments for the second
quarter ended June 30, 1999 and for the six month period of
1999, and the comparable periods in 1998, is set forth below:

Total rental expenses before depreciation and debt service in
the three month period ended June 30, 1999 decreased by $79,000,
from $925,000 to $846,000, compared to the same period of 1998.
The decrease was comprised of decreases at Pelican Sound of
$75,000, and Meadows II of $7,000, offset by an increase at Town
Place of $3,000.
For the six month period total rental expenses decreased by
$57,000 from $1,787,000 to $1,730,000. The decreases were
comprised of decreases at Pelican Sound of $59,000, and Town
Place of $1,000, offset by an increase at The Meadows II of
$3,000.

Net income from rental property operations before debt service,
depreciation and amortization, was approximately $762,000 for
the second quarter of 1999, compared to $700,000 for the
comparative period, an increase of approximately $62,000. The
increase was comprised of an increase at Pelican Sound of
$94,000, offset by decreases at Town Place of $18,000, and
Meadows II of $14,000.
For the six month period net income from rental operations
before depreciation, amortization, and debt service was
approximately $1,435,000 for the 1999 period compared to
$1,481,000 for the comparable 1998 period, a decrease of
$46,000. The decrease was comprised of decreases at Town
Place of $69,000, and the Meadows II of $20,000, offset by an
increase at Pelican Sound of $43,000.

Interest expense for the second quarter of 1999 increased $9,000
from the comparative period and increased $18,000 for the six
month period.
The net income before debt service from real estate activities
is reduced by deductions for depreciation and amortization which
do not affect cash flow. Depreciation decreased $12,000 for the
second quarter of 1999 compared to 1998, and by $24,000 for the
six month period. Amortization increased for the second quarter
of 1999 by $3,000 and by $9,000 for the six month period.
The Partnership's net other expenses increased during the six
month period in 1999 by approximately $31,000. Partnership
management expenses increased $22,000 and interest income
decreased $9,000. The decrease interest income is attributable
to a smaller investment portfolio to generate such income.
As a result of the foregoing, the Partnership's net income for
the quarter ended June 30, 1999 was $8,000, compared to a loss
of $35,000 in the same period of 1998. For the six month
periods the Partnership's net loss for 1999 was $74,000,
compared to net income of $6,000 for 1998.
Exclusive of depreciation and amortization, the Partnership's
net income for the quarters ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 was
$271,000 and $237,000, and for the six month periods the net
income exclusive of depreciation and amortization was $449,000
of 1999 and $544,000 for 1998.
Liquidity and Sources of Capital
At June 30, 1999 there was $2.0 million of cash and cash
equivalents and escrow deposits available to pay liabilities.
The Partnership has a credit line established of approximately
$2.56 million from the undisbursed funds from The Meadows II
refinancing to provide additional liquidity. The undisbursed
funds do not bear interest until they are released by the
mortgage lender.
During the first six months of 1999, cash and cash equivalents
decreased by $125,000. During the period $573,000 was provided
operating activities, $208,000 was used in investing activities
and approximately $490,000 was used in financing activities
that included payments on the mortgage notes and distributions
paid to the limited partners as shown herein on the Statements
of Cash Flows.
The General Partner believes that the Partnership has the
ability to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet the
Partnership's current needs.
Short-term obligations total $4.2 million, consisting of
$889,000 of current liabilities, $312,000 of mortgage principal
liabilities, and as described in detail below, $3,002,000
payable to the General Partner and affiliates.
On a short-term basis, rental operations are expected to
provide a stream of cash flow to pay day-to-day operating
expenses and to fund quarterly cash distributions to the
partners. Operations generated a profit in the
first six months of 1999 of $449,000 (before depreciation and
amortization of $523,000) compared to $544,000 for the same
period in 1998 (with depreciation and amortization of $538,000).
The Agreement of Limited Partnership provides that the
Partnership will make distributions for each calendar quarter
of cash flow less amounts set aside for reserves. In April
the Partnership paid to the Limited Partners the March
declaration of $167,500 ($12.50 per Interest) and declared a
similar amount payable for the second quarter of 1999 to be
paid in July. The estimated distribution payable to the
General Partner of $1,000 for the quarter was accrued and
payment will be made subsequently. The Partnership intends,
but is not required, to continue to make cash distributions to
the Limited Partners each quarter in the same amount. This
intention will require cash distributions to the limited
partners of approximately $670,000 in the next 12 months,
which should be met from operations and cash reserves.
The long-term mortgage obligations of the Partnership require
principal reductions (excluding balloon payments) of $1.7
million over the next five years. These obligations should
be satisfied by cash generated from operations. In the
year 2003 two of the mortgage notes require balloon payments
that will total $14.9 million ($8.9 million for Pelican Sound
and $6.0 million for Town Place). It is anticipated that both
properties will be sold or refinanced prior to the maturity
dates in 2003.
Approximately $3.9 million of deferred fees and deferred
interest related thereto has been earned by the General
Partner and affiliates, of which approximately $3.0 million
is a short term obligation of the Partnership currently due
and payable. To date the Partnership has not paid the $3.0
million of deferred fees and deferred interest in order to
preserve the ability of the Partnership to acquire additional
properties, if deemed advisable. The actual timing of the
payment of deferred fees and related interest will take into
account the amount of cash reserves to be set aside
that the General Partner deems necessary or appropriate for
the operation and protection of the Partnership. The General
Partner currently intends to make payment only after it is
determined that the liquidity is not required to purchase
additional properties, either directly or by means of
an exchange.
The mortgage notes on Pelican Sound and Town Place bear
interest at 7.625% an 8.25% respectively. Both loans are
due in four years in 2003. The Partnership is exploring the
possibility of refinancing both mortgage loans during 1999 if
lower interest rates are available. Additional proceeds
from the refinancings in excess of the existing mortgage debt
would provide additional liquidity.
Other than the payments described above, there are no
long-term material capital expenditures, obligations,
or other demands or commitments that might impair the
liquidity of the Partnership.
Partners' Capital decreased by $411,000 during the first six
months of 1999 due to cash distributions declared payable
to the partners of $337,000, plus by the net loss for
the six months of $74,000.
Impact of Year 2000 Compliance
As is more fully described in the Partnership's annual report
on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998,
the General Partner is modifying or replacing significant
portions of its software as well as certain hardware to
enable continued operations beyond December 31, 1999.
As of June 30, 1999, the General Partner estimates its
progress toward completion of its Year 2000 remediation plan
as indicated in the following table.

To date, the Partnership has incurred costs of $50,000 for the
Year 2000 project. The General Partner now estimates that the
Partnership's share of total project cost will be $60,000. The
General Partner's assessment of the risks associated with the
Year 2000 project and the status of the Partnership's
contingency plans are unchanged from that described in the
1998 annual report.
The Partnership's plans to complete the Year 2000 modifications
are based on the General Partner's best estimates, which are
based on numerous assumptions about future events including the
continued availability of certain resources and other factors.
Estimates on the status of completion and the expected
completion dates are based on the level of effort expended
to date to total expected (internal) staff effort. However,
there can be no guarantee that these estimates will be
achieved and actual results could differ materially from those
plans. Specific factors that might cause such material
differences include, but are not limited to, the availability
and cost of personnel trained in this area, the ability to
locate and correct all relevant computer codes and similar
uncertainties.
The information above contains forward-looking statements,
including, without limitation, statements relating to the
Partnership's plans, strategies, objectives, expectations,
intentions, and adequate resources that are made pursuant
to the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Readers are cautioned that
forward-looking statements about Year 2000 should be read in
conjunction with the Partnership's disclosures under the
heading Forward-Looking Information.
