                                  (Unaudited)


NOTE A - 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-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
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 Fox Capital Management Corporation, the Managing General
Partner, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the
three month period ended March 31, 1997, are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1997.  For
further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto
included in the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1996.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1996 information to conform to
the 1997 presentation.

NOTE B - TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED PARTIES

The Partnership has no employees and is dependent on the Managing General
Partner and its affiliates for the management and administration of all
partnership activities. The Partnership Agreement provides for payments to
affiliates for services and as reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by
affiliates on behalf of the Partnership.

The following transactions with affiliates of the Managing General Partner were
charged to expense in 1997 and 1996 (in thousands):


                                                   For the Three Months Ended
                                                            March 31,
                                                       1997         1996

Partnership management fee (included in general
  and administrative expenses)                          $ 31       $ 31
Reimbursement for services of affiliates (included
  in general and administrative expenses)                 15         54


Since January 19, 1996, the Partnership insured its properties under a master
policy through an agency and insurer unaffiliated with the Managing General
Partner.  An affiliate of the Managing General Partner acquired, in the
acquisition of a business, certain financial obligations from an insurance
agency which was later acquired by the agent who placed the current year's
master policy. The current agent assumed the financial obligations to the
affiliate of the Managing General Partner who received payments on these
obligations from the agent.  The amount of the Partnership's insurance premiums
accruing to the benefit of the affiliate of the Managing General Partner by
virtue of the agent's obligations is not significant.

The general partner received cash distributions of approximately $3,000 during
the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996.

The Managing General Partner attributes the increased occupancy at Butler Square
Shopping Center to the growing local economy, which has been strongly influenced
by the introduction of two major employers into the market.

The Partnership's net income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was
approximately $232,000 versus approximately $280,000 for the same period of
1996. The decrease in net income is primarily attributable to a decrease in
rental income and an increase in operating expenses.  The decrease in rental
income is due to a decrease in rental rates at Kenilworth Commons and Plantation
Pointe Shopping Centers to maintain current occupancy levels.  Also contributing
to the decrease in rental income was a decrease in common area maintenance
("CAM") revenue at all three of the investment properties.  The increase in
operating expenses is due to landscaping at Plantation Pointe and parking lot
repairs at Butler Square. Additionally, operating expenses increased due to an
increase in real estate taxes at Butler Square which were due to a reassessment
of the property in 1996. Included in operating expense is $7,000 of major
repairs and maintenance comprised of landscaping for the quarter ended March 31,
1997.

Partially offsetting the decrease in net income was an increase in income from
unconsolidated joint venture and a decrease in general and administrative
expenses. The increase in income from unconsolidated joint ventures is primarily
attributable to a decrease in the loss at Coral Palm Plaza.  The decrease in
loss is due to the recognition of bad debt expense in the first quarter of 1996
related to two major tenants, who subsequently vacated their space in 1996.  The
decrease in general and administrative expenses is attributable to a decrease in
expense reimbursements. The decrease in expense reimbursements during the three
months ended March 31, 1997, is directly attributable to the combined transition
efforts of the Greenville, South Carolina  and Atlanta, Georgia, administrative
offices during the  1995 year-end close, preparation of the 1995 10-K and tax
return (including the limited partner K-1's) and transition of asset management
responsibilities to the new administration during the three months ended March
31, 1996.

As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the Managing General
Partner monitors the rental market environment of its investment properties to
assess the feasibility of increasing rents, maintaining or increasing occupancy
levels and protecting the Partnership from increases in expense.  As part of
this plan, the Managing General Partner attempts to protect the Partnership from
the burden of inflation-related increases in expenses by increasing rents and
maintaining a high overall occupancy level.  However, due to changing market
conditions, which can result in the use of rental concessions and rental
reductions to offset softening market conditions, there is no guarantee that the
Managing General Partner will be able to sustain such a plan.

At March 31, 1997, the Partnership had unrestricted cash of approximately
$2,043,000 as compared to $2,071,000 at March 31, 1996.  Net cash provided by
operating activities increased due to the decrease in receivables and other
assets.  The decrease in receivables and other assets is primarily attributable
to the decrease in common area maintenance receivables due to the timing of
receipts.  Net cash used in investing activities decreased due to a contribution
by the Partnership to the Coral Palm Plaza Joint Venture in 1996.  The
contribution was necessary to help fund tenant improvements at Coral Palm.  Net
cash used in financing activities remained constant, representing distributions
of $278,000 to the partners for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996.

The Partnership has no material capital programs scheduled to be performed in
1997, although certain routine capital expenditures and maintenance expenses
have been budgeted.  These capital expenditures and maintenance expenses will be
incurred only if cash is available from operations or is received from the
capital reserve account.

The sufficiency of existing liquid assets to meet future liquidity and capital
expenditure requirements is directly related to the level of capital
expenditures required at the property to adequately maintain the physical assets
and other operating needs of the Partnership.  Such assets are currently thought
to be sufficient for any near-term needs of the partnership.  The Partnership
distributed $278,000 to the partners (including $3,000 to the general partner)
during the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996.  Future cash
distributions will depend on the levels of cash generated from operations,
property sales, and the availability of cash reserves, however, quarterly
distributions are expected to continue throughout 1997. The level of such
distributions will be contingent upon successful future operations.
