                                    ------

Item 1.  Business.
         --------

          Copley Realty Income Partners 1; A Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership") was organized under the Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts on November 20, 1985, to invest primarily in newly
constructed and existing income-producing real properties.

        The Partnership was initially capitalized with contributions of $2,000
in the aggregate from First Income Corp. (the "Managing General Partner") and
CCOP Associates Limited Partnership (the "Associate General Partner")
(collectively, the "General Partners") and $10,000 from Copley Real Estate
Advisors, Inc. (the "Initial Limited Partner").  The Partnership filed a
Registration Statement on Form S-11 (the "Registration Statement") with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on December 5, 1985, with respect to a public
offering of 40,000 units of limited partnership interest at a purchase price of
$1,000 per unit (the "Units") with an option to sell up to an additional 60,000
Units (an aggregate of $100,000,000).  The Registration Statement was declared
effective on March 27, 1986. 

        The first sale of Units occurred on August 7, 1986, at which time the
Initial Limited Partner withdrew its contribution from the Partnership.
Investors were admitted to the Partnership thereafter at monthly closings; the
offering terminated and the last group of initial investors was admitted to the
Partnership on April 9, 1987.  As of April 9, 1987, a total of 34,581 Units had
been sold, a total of 2,188 investors had been admitted as limited partners (the
"Limited Partners") and a total of $34,322,210 had been contributed to the
capital of the Partnership.  

        As of December 31, 1996 the Partnership owned the two real property
investments described below.  In 1990, a third-party mortgage lender foreclosed
on a third real estate investment.  In 1996, the Partnership sold two other real
estate investments.  The principal terms of these sales are set forth in the
following table:

</TABLE>

The Partnership has no current plan to renovate, improve or further develop
any of its real property.  In the opinion of the Managing General Partner of the
Partnership, the properties are adequately covered by insurance.

        The Partnership has no employees. Services are performed for the
Partnership by the Managing General Partner and affiliates of the Managing
General Partner.

        A.  Warehouse Building in Anaheim, California.
            -----------------------------------------

          On December 30, 1986, the Partnership acquired for $2,000,000 a 60%
interest in a joint venture formed with Davis Anaheim Distribution Center
Associates ("Davis Development") to construct a one-story warehouse building
containing approximately 106,000 square feet of space on a 4.9-acre parcel of
land in Anaheim, California.  The building was 100% leased as of December 31,
1996.  The joint venture agreement, as amended, entitled the Partnership to
receive a current preferred return on its capital contribution at the rate of
10% per annum and to receive an additional return at the rate of 0.5% per annum
which could be accrued and paid out of sale or refinancing proceeds if
sufficient cash flow was not currently available therefor.  In addition, the
Partnership was entitled to receive 60% of all cash flow from operations,
refinancing proceeds and net sale proceeds.  

- ----------
/1/ Represents net sale proceeds to the Partnership after repayment of related
mortgage loan.
<PAGE>
 
          The Partnership contemporaneously made a non-recourse mortgage loan
commitment to the joint venture of up to $2,750,000, which was fully funded.
The loan bore interest at the rate of 11% per annum, payable (beginning January
1, 1991) in equal monthly payments of principal and interest, based on a 30-year
amortization schedule with a balloon payment at maturity in January, 1996.  The
loan had a term of ten years, was not prepayable and was secured by a first
mortgage on the land and the building.

          Subsequently, the Partnership increased its investment in the joint
venture by committing to make deficit loans to the venture in the maximum amount
of $477,000, of which $436,276 was funded.  Davis Development committed to make
deficit loans to the joint venture in the maximum amount of $318,000, of which
$290,850 was funded.  The loans bore interest at a rate equal to the prime rate
charged by Wells Fargo Bank.  As of June 4, 1993, the Partnership's interest was
increased from 60% to 61.6%, since Davis Development did not match its
proportionate share of a $30,000 operating deficit incurred during the month of
May, 1993.  The joint venture agreement provided for the repayment of principal
and interest on deficit loans from cash flow to the extent that such cash is
available after payment of any accrued preferential returns.      

        Effective January 1, 1996, the joint venture was dissolved and
ownership of the joint venture assets was assigned to the Partnership.

        B.  Warehouse/Service Center Buildings in Atlanta, Georgia.
            ------------------------------------------------------

      On December 4, 1987, the Partnership acquired a 34.2% interest in a joint
venture formed with Copley Realty Income Partners 2; A Limited Partnership, an
affiliate of the Partnership (the "Affiliate") which had a 25.8% interest, and
an affiliate of Hill Properties, Inc. ("Hill").  Effective January 1, 1990, the
joint venture agreement was amended to increase the Partnership's ownership
interest in the joint venture to 38.19% and the Affiliate's interest to 28.81%.
As of September 3, 1991, as a result of Hill's inability to fund its share of
capital contributions, the Partnership and the Affiliate assumed 100% ownership
of the property with the Partnership having a 57% interest.  As of December 31,
1996, the Partnership had contributed $1,932,300 to the capital of the joint
venture.  The joint venture agreement, as amended, entitles the Partnership and
the Affiliate to receive a preferred return on their respective invested capital
at the rate of 10.25% per annum.  The joint venture agreement also entitles the
Partnership to receive 57% of cash flow following payment of the preferred
return and 57% of the net proceeds of sales and financings following return of
the Partnership's and the Affiliate's capital contribution.

      The Partnership also committed to make a loan to the joint venture in the
maximum amount of $4,622,700.  On October 4, 1989, the Partnership increased its
maximum commitment to $4,964,700, of which $4,850,094 had been funded as of
December 31, 1996.  The loan has a term of ten years and is secured by a first
mortgage on the land and buildings.  Interest only is payable monthly at the
rate of 10.25% per annum.  The loan is prepayable at any time, subject to
payment of a premium designed to give the Partnership the equivalent yield as if
the loan had been outstanding until maturity.  The Affiliate also committed to
make a loan to the joint venture in the maximum amount of $3,487,300, increased
to $3,745,300 on October 4, 1989, of which $3,658,843 had been funded as of
December 31, 1996.  This loan has the same terms and conditions as the loan from
the Partnership and is pari passu with the loan from the Partnership.

      The Partnership and the Affiliate own approximately 14.9 acres of land in
the Medlock Oaks Business Park in Atlanta, Georgia and five service center
buildings containing 173,916 square feet of space located thereon.  As of
December 31, 1996 the five buildings were 97% leased.  On February 4, 1997, the
joint venture entered into a contract for sale of this investment at a price
which exceeded the carrying value.

      Following is information regarding the competitive market conditions for
each of the Partnership's properties.  This information has been gathered from
sources deemed reliable.  However, the Partnership has not independently
verified the information and, as such, cannot guarantee its accuracy or
completeness:

       A.  Warehouse Building in Anaheim, CA.
           ----------------------------------

       This property is located within the Orange County industrial market,
consisting of 228 million square feet.  Anaheim is a desirable industrial
location due to its close proximity to major freeways and the central portion of
Orange County.  At September 30, 1996, overall vacancy was 7.8%, down from 9.3%
twelve months earlier.  The property more specifically is located within the
North Orange County industrial submarket, which has an inventory of 101 million
square feet, or 44% of the total Orange County market.  As of September 30,
1996, the North Orange County vacancy rate was 6.6%, down from the 8.1% vacancy
rate reported one year ago and 11% two years ago.  Approximately 3.7 million
square feet of new industrial space was either under construction or had been
completed as of September 30, 1996 within the Orange County market.

       B.  Industrial/Service Center Buildings in Atlanta, GA.
           ---------------------------------------------------

       This investment is located in the Metropolitan Atlanta Industrial market
which totaled 294 million square feet at September 30, 1996, an increase of more
than nine million square feet from December 31, 1995, including approximately
6.7 million square feet from speculative construction.  Overall vacancy was 6%
at September 30, 1996, a slight increase from the 5.4% recorded at year end
1995.  The Northeast/I-85 submarket had a total inventory of approximately 82.5
million square feet, which represents an increase of 4.3 million square feet
from year end 1995.  Submarket vacancy increased during the first three quarters
of the year from 4.4% to 5.4% at September 30, 1996.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings.
         -----------------

        The Partnership is not a party to, nor are any of its properties
subject to, any material pending legal proceedings.



Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
         ---------------------------------------------------

        No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the
fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 5.  Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters.
         ---------------------------------------------------------------------

        There is no active market for the Units.  Trading in the Units is
sporadic and occurs solely through private transactions.

        As of December 31, 1996, there were 2,288 holders of Units. 
<PAGE>
 
        The Partnership's Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited
Partnership dated August 7, 1986, as amended to date (the "Partnership
Agreement"), requires that any Distributable Cash (as defined therein) be
distributed quarterly to the Partners in specified proportions and priorities.
There are no restrictions on the Partnership's present or future ability to make
distributions of Distributable Cash.  For the year ended December 31, 1996, cash
distributions paid in 1996, or distributed after year end with respect to 1996,
to the Limited Partners as a group totaled $12,452,964, including $11,307,987
($327 per limited partnership unit) representing proceeds from the sales of two
properties.  For the year ended December 31, 1995, cash distributions paid in
1995, or distributed after year end with respect to 1995, to the Limited
Partners as a group totaled $2,161,312.

        Largely due to the capital distributions mentioned above, total cash
distributions exceeded net income in 1996, and reduced partners' capital
accordingly.  Regular cash distributions from operations, however, were less
than cash provided by operations.  Reference is made to the Partnership's
Statement of Changes in Partners' Capital (Deficit) and Statement of Cash Flows
in Item 8 hereof.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPERATIONS
- ----------

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

      The Partnership completed its offering of units of limited partnership
interest in April 1987, and a total of 34,581 units were sold.  The Partnership
received proceeds of $30,812,718, net of selling commissions and other offering
costs, which have been invested in real estate, used to pay related acquisition
costs or retained as working capital reserves.

      On April 9, 1996, the Partnership sold the Zehntel property for
$11,449,612, of which $4,215,073 was used to pay off the related mortgage loan
and $506,687 was used to complete certain improvements.  Net proceeds to the
Partnership, after closing costs, was $11,148,837.  A disposition fee of
$343,488 was accrued but not paid to the advisor.  On April 25, 1996, the
Partnership made a capital distribution of $6,120,837 ($177 per limited
partnership unit), which reduced the adjusted capital contribution to $823 per
unit.

      On August 13, 1996, the United Exposition property was sold for
$5,372,500.  The Partnership received net proceeds of $5,202,964, after closing
costs.  A disposition fee of $161,175 was accrued but not paid to the advisor.
On August 29, 1996, the Partnership made a capital distribution of $5,187,150
($150 per limited partnership unit), which reduced the adjusted capital
contribution to $673 per unit.

      At December 31, 1996, the Partnership had $1,465,082 in cash and cash
equivalents and short-term investments, of which $235,081 was used for cash
distributions to partners on January 30, 1997; the remainder is being retained
for working capital reserves.  The source of future liquidity and cash
distributions to partners will be cash generated by the Partnership's real
estate and short-term investments. Distributions of cash from operations
relating to the first quarter of 1995 were made at an annualized rate of 7.0% on
a capital contribution of $1,000 per unit.  Distributions of cash from
operations for the remaining three quarters of 1995 were made at an annualized
rate of 6.0%.  The distribution rate was decreased due to the restructuring and
extension of a lease at the Zehntel property, as discussed below.  Distributions
of cash from operations were made at an annualized rate of 4.0% for all four
quarters of 1996; the second and third quarter distribution rates were based on
the weighted average adjusted capital contribution.  The distribution rate was
decreased to 4.0% in 1996, in line with the cash flow decreases resulting from
the sale of the Zehntel and United Exposition investments.

      The carrying value of real estate investments in the financial statements
at December 31, 1996 is at depreciated cost, or if the investment's carrying
value is determined not to be recoverable through expected undiscounted future
cash flows, the carrying value is reduced to estimated fair market value.  The
fair market value of such investments is further reduced by the estimated costs
of sale for properties held for sale.  Carrying value may be greater or less
than current appraised value. At December 31, 1996, the aggregate appraised
value of the Partnership's investments was approximately $800,000 greater than
their aggregate carrying value.  The current appraised value of real estate
investments has been determined by the Managing General Partner and is generally
based on a combination of traditional appraisal approaches performed by the
Partnership's advisor and independent appraisers.  Because of the subjectivity
inherent in the valuation process, the current appraised value may differ
significantly from that which could be realized if the real estate were actually
offered for sale in the marketplace.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

      Form of Real Estate Investments

      The Medlock Oaks investment is structured as a joint venture with an
affiliate of the Partnership.  The Anaheim investment was structured as a joint
venture with a real estate management/development firm.  Effective January 1,
1996, however, the venture was dissolved and all of its assets and liabilities
were transferred to the Partnership, whereby the property became wholly-owned by
the Partnership.  The Zehntel and United Exposition investments, which were sold
in April and August of 1996, respectively, were wholly-owned properties.

      Operating Factors

      The Zehntel property, which is comprised of two R&D buildings, was fully
leased to a single tenant through June, 1996.  During the third quarter of 1995,
the Partnership signed a lease extension with the lessee for one of the
buildings through December, 2000.  The extension was retroactive to April 1,
1995, and was at a lower rental rate than under the previous lease.  In the
third quarter of 1995, the tenant sub-leased the second building to a sub-tenant
which executed a primary lease for the building through June 2002.  During the
third quarter of 1995, after deciding to market the Zehntel property for sale,
the Managing General Partner determined that the Partnership would not likely
recover its carrying value over the shortened investment period.  Accordingly,
the Partnership reduced the carrying value to its estimated net fair market
value, less selling costs, with a charge to operations of $2,200,000.  The
carrying value was further reduced by $400,000 in the fourth quarter of 1995,
with the refinement of the estimate based on the terms of the sale transaction
discussed above.  The Partnership recognized a gain of $21,483 ($.62 per limited
partnership unit) upon final settlement of the sale transaction.

      The United Exposition property also consists of two buildings which have
been 100% leased to one tenant since 1987.  The Partnership recognized a gain of
$885,059 ($25.34 per limited partnership unit) on the sale.

      At Medlock Oaks, occupancy was 97%, 95% and 100% at December 31, 1996,
1995 and 1994, respectively.  The Managing General Partner determined in 1994
that the carrying value of this investment would likely not be recoverable, and
reduced the carrying value to estimated net realizable value with a charge to
operations of $200,000.  In the first quarter of 1996, the Managing General
Partner determined that the Partnership would be unable to recover the carrying
value of this investment and, accordingly, the carrying value was reduced by
$250,000 through a charge to operations.  The property is now under contract for
sale, which is expected to close in the second quarter of 1997.  The selling
price will exceed the carrying value of the investment.

      Occupancy at the Anaheim Distribution Center property was 100% at December
31, 1996, 1995 and 1994.  One lease expires during 1997, representing 27% of the
space.

      Two tenants each contributed more than 10% of the total rental revenue
from the Partnership's investments (collectively 55%) in 1996.  These tenants
were occupants of the properties sold during 1996.

      Investment Results

      1996 Compared to 1995

      Exclusive of the valuation allowances related to Medlock Oaks in 1996 and
Zehntel in 1995, aggregate operating results from real estate investments were
$1,176,591 in 1996 and $1,870,411 in 1995.  The Zehntel and United Exposition
properties were owned for only a portion of 1996, which resulted in a decrease
in operating income of $784,000.  Operating income from Anaheim Distribution
Center increased 
<PAGE>
 
by $46,000 between 1996 and 1995 primarily due to rental increases and lower
depreciation charges. Operating income from Medlock Oaks also increased by
$40,000 due to rental increases.

      Interest on cash equivalents and short-term investments decreased by
$3,000 in 1996 as compared to 1995, primarily due to lower invested balances as
well as lower short-term yields.

      Cash flow provided by operating activities decreased by $1,103,000 between
1996 and 1995.  This change was primarily caused by the Zehntel and United
Exposition sales, including the payment of $77,000 for lease commissions at
Zehntel, and the payment of $207,000 held by the Partnership as various
deposits.  These decreases were partially offset by an increase in cash flow
from Medlock Oaks and by changes in working capital items.


1995 Compared to 1994

      Exclusive of the valuation allowances related to Zehntel in 1995 and
Medlock Oaks in 1994, operating results from real estate investments were
$1,870,411 in 1995 and $2,031,065 in 1994.  The decrease primarily stems from
reduced rental income after the lease restructuring at Zehntel.  Operating
results also declined by $30,000 at Medlock Oaks due to lower average occupancy,
as well as the write-off of tenant improvements.  These decreases were partially
offset by a $68,000 improvement in operating results at Anaheim due to increased
rentals and a decrease in amortization of tenant improvements.

      Interest on cash equivalents and short-term investments increased by
$36,000 in 1995 as compared to 1994, primarily as a result of an increase in
short-term yields and higher average invested balances.

      Cash flow from operations decreased by $295,000 in 1995 compared to 1994,
consistent with the change in operating results before the investment valuation
allowances.


      Portfolio Expenses

      General and administrative expenses primarily consist of real estate
appraisal, legal, accounting, printing and servicing agent fees.  These expenses
decreased approximately $32,000 or 22%, in 1996 as compared to 1995, primarily
due to a decrease in legal and professional fees.  General and administrative
expenses increased $16,000 or 12% between 1994 and 1995, primarily due to
increased professional fees.  The Partnership management fee is 9% of
distributable cash flow from operations after any increase or decrease in
working capital reserves as determined by the Managing General Partner.
Management fees decreased in both 1996 and 1995 compared to the respective prior
years due to the decreases in distributable cash flow.

INFLATION
- ---------

      By their nature, real estate investments tend not to be adversely affected
by inflation.  Inflation may tend to result in appreciation in the value of the
Partnership's real estate investments over time, if rental rates and replacement
costs increase.  Declines in real property values during the period of
Partnership operations, due to market and economic conditions, have overshadowed
the overall positive effect inflation may have on the value of the Partnership's
investments.

To the Partners

COPLEY REALTY INCOME PARTNERS 1;
A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

In our opinion, based upon our audits and the reports of other auditors, for the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, the financial statements listed in
the accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Copley Realty Income Partners 1; A Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership") at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of First Income Corp., the Managing
General Partner of the Partnership; our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these financial statements based on our audits.  We did not audit the
financial statements of the Partnership's Medlock Oaks joint venture investee
for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, which results of
operations are recorded using the equity method of accounting in the
Partnership's financial statements.  Equity in joint venture income for this
joint venture investee was $280,509, $240,331 and $270,638 for the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  We also did not audit the
financial statements of the Partnership's investment in Anaheim Distribution
Center for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994.  Operating income
for this investment totalled $410,656 for the year ended December 31, 1996, and
equity in joint venture income was $250,312 and $182,243 for the years ended
December 31, 1995 and 1994.  Those statements were audited by other auditors
whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed
herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for the equity in joint
venture income for Medlock Oaks for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and
1994, and for the operating income and the equity in joint venture income for
Anaheim Distribution Center for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and
1994, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.  We conducted our
audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the accounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the Managing
General Partner, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits and the reports of other auditors for the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 provide a reasonable basis for the opinion
expressed above.

As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Partnership changed its
method of accounting for impaired long-lived assets and for long-lived assets to
be disposed of effective January 1, 1995 in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-
Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of".

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
- ----------------------------------

General
- -------

          Copley Realty Income Partners 1; A Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership") is a Massachusetts limited partnership organized for the purpose
of investing primarily in newly-constructed and existing income-producing real
properties. The Partnership commenced operations in August 1986, and acquired
the two real estate investments it currently owns prior to the end of 1987.  The
Partnership intended to dispose of its investments within nine years of their
acquisition, and then liquidate; however, the Managing General Partner expects
to extend the investment period at least into 1998, having determined it to be
in the best interest of the limited partners.

          The Managing General Partner of the Partnership is First Income Corp.,
a wholly-owned subsidiary of AEW Real Estate Advisors, Inc. ("AEW"), formerly
known as Copley Real Estate Advisors, Inc. ("Copley").  The associate general
partner is CCOP Associates Limited Partnership, a Massachusetts limited
partnership, the general partners of which are managing directors of AEW and/or
officers of the Managing General Partner.  Subject to the Managing General
Partner's overall authority, the business of the Partnership is managed by AEW
pursuant to an advisory contract.

          On December 10, 1996, Copley's parent, New England Investment
Companies, Limited Partnership ("NEIC"), a publicly traded master limited
partnership, acquired certain assets subject to then existing liabilities from
Aldrich, Eastman & Waltch, Inc. and its affiliates and principals (collectively
"the AEW Operations").  Simultaneously, a new entity, AEW Capital Management
L.P. was formed, into which NEIC contributed its interests in Copley and its
affiliates.  As a result, the AEW Operations were combined with Copley to form
the business operations of AEW Capital Management, L.P.  This transaction is not
expected to have a material effect on the operations of the Partnership.

          Prior to August 30, 1996, New England Mutual Life Insurance Company
("The New England") was NEIC's principal unit holder and owner of all the
outstanding stock of NEIC's general partner.  On August 30, 1996, The New
England merged with and into Metropolitan Life Insurance Company ("Met Life").
Met Life is the surviving entity and, therefore, through a wholly-owned
subsidiary, became the owner of the units of partnership interest previously
owned by The New England and of the stock of NEIC's general partner.  This
transaction is not expected to have a material effect on the operations of the
Partnership.


Management
- ----------

          AEW, as advisor, is entitled to receive stipulated fees from the
Partnership in consideration of services performed in connection with the
management of the Partnership and acquisition and disposition of Partnership
investments in real property.  Partnership management fees are 9% of
distributable cash flow from operations, as defined, before deducting such fees.
AEW is also reimbursed for expenses incurred in connection with administering
the Partnership ($16,000 in 1996, $17,746 in 1995, and $6,270 in 1994).
Acquisition fees were based on 3% of the gross proceeds from the offering
available for investment and paid at the time commitments were initially funded.
Disposition fees are generally 3% of the selling price of property, but are
subject to the prior receipt by the limited partners of their capital
contributions plus a stipulated return thereon.

          New England Securities Corporation, an indirect subsidiary of Met
Life, is engaged by the Partnership to act as its unit holder servicing agent.
Fees and out-of-pocket expenses for such services totaled $3,541, $3,193 and
$4,468 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- ---------------------------------------------------

Accounting Estimates
- --------------------

          The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the Managing General Partner to make
estimates affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and of
revenues and expenses.  In the Partnership's business, certain estimates require
an assessment of factors not within management's control, such as the ability of
tenants to perform under long-term leases and the ability of the properties to
sustain their occupancies in changing markets.  Actual results, therefore, could
differ from those estimates.

Real Estate Joint Ventures
- --------------------------

          Investments in joint ventures, including loans made to joint ventures,
which are in substance real estate investments, are stated at cost plus (minus)
equity in undistributed joint venture income (losses).  Allocations of joint
venture income (losses) were made to the Partnership's venture partners as long
as they had substantial economic equity in the project.  Economic equity is
measured by the excess of the appraised value of the property over the
Partnership's total cash investment plus accrued preferential returns and
interest thereon.  For its one remaining joint venture investment, the
Partnership records its ownership share of the operating results, after the
elimination of all inter-entity transactions, since its venture partner, an
affiliate of the Partnership, has substantial economic equity in the project.
Joint ventures are consolidated with the accounts of the Partnership if, and
when, the venture partner no longer shares in the control of the business.

Property
- --------

          Property includes land and buildings and improvements, which are
stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, plus other operating net assets.
The Partnership's initial carrying value of a property previously owned by a
joint venture equals the Partnership's carrying value of the predecessor
investment on the conversion date.

Capitalized Costs, Depreciation and Amortization
- ------------------------------------------------

          Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred; significant
improvements and renewals are capitalized.  Depreciation is computed using the
straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the buildings and
improvements.  Leasing costs are also capitalized and amortized over the related
lease terms.

          Acquisition fees have been capitalized as part of the cost of real
estate investments.  Amounts not related to land are being amortized using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the underlying real
property.

Realizability of Real Estate Investments
- ----------------------------------------

          The Partnership considers a real estate investment to be impaired when
it determines the carrying value of the investment is not recoverable through
expected undiscounted cash flows from the operations and disposition of the
property.  The impairment loss is based on the excess of the investment's
carrying value over its estimated fair market value.  For investments being held
for sale, the impairment loss also includes estimated costs of sale.  Property
held for sale is not depreciated during the holding period.  Prior to the
adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 as of January 1,
1995, the reduction in the investment carrying value was to estimated net
realizable value.

          The carrying value of an investment may be more or less than its
current appraised value. At December 31, 1996, the aggregate appraised value of
the Partnership's investments was approximately $800,000 greater than their
carrying value after giving effect to previously recorded valuation allowances.
At December 31, 1995, the appraised value of one of the Partnership's
investments exceeded its related carrying value by $1,400,000. The carrying
values of the remaining investments approximated their related appraised values.

          The current appraised value of real estate investments has been
estimated by the Managing General Partner and is generally based on a
combination of traditional appraisal approaches performed by the Partnership's
advisor and independent appraisers.  Because of the subjectivity inherent in the
valuation 
<PAGE>
 
process, the current appraised value may differ significantly from
that which could be realized if the real estate were actually offered for sale
in the marketplace.

Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments
- -------------------------------------------

          Cash equivalents are stated at cost, plus accrued interest.  The
Partnership considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a
maturity of ninety days or less to be cash equivalents; otherwise, they are
classified as short-term investments.

          The Partnership has the positive intent and ability to hold all short-
term investments to maturity; therefore, short-term investments are carried at
cost plus accrued interest, which approximates market value.  At December 31,
1996 and 1995, all investments are in commercial paper with less than two months
and five months, respectively, remaining to maturity.

Deferred Disposition Fees
- -------------------------

          According to the terms of the advisory contract, AEW is entitled to
disposition fees related to sales of real estate investments.  Payment of the
fees, however, is contingent upon the limited partners first receiving their
capital, plus a stipulated return thereon.  Since inception, the Partnership has
sold two investments and has accrued disposition fees totaling $504,663 through
December 31, 1996.

Income Taxes
- ------------

          A partnership is not liable for income taxes and, therefore, no
provision for income taxes is made in the financial statements of the
Partnership.  A proportionate share of the Partnership's income is reportable on
each partner's tax return.

Per Unit Computations
- ---------------------

          Per unit computations are based on the number of units of limited
partnership interest outstanding during the year.  The actual per unit amount
will vary by partner depending on the date of admission to, or withdrawal from,
the Partnership.

</TABLE>

          The net carrying value at December 31, 1996 relates solely to Anaheim
Distribution Center.  The net carrying value at December 31, 1995 was comprised
of the Zehntel and United Exposition properties at $9,533,690 and $3,907,776,
respectively.

          The buildings and improvements of Anaheim Distribution Center are
being depreciated over 30 years, beginning January 1, 1996.
<PAGE>
 
Anaheim Distribution Center
- ---------------------------

          On December 30, 1986, the Partnership entered into a joint venture
with an affiliate of Davis Development to construct and operate an industrial
facility located in Anaheim, California.  The Partnership invested $5,216,276 in
the joint venture in the form of capital contributions and loans.  Effective
January 1, 1996, the joint venture was dissolved and ownership of the venture's
net assets was assigned to the Partnership.  Accordingly, as of this date, the
investment is being accounted for as a wholly-owned property.  The carrying
value of the joint venture investment at conversion ($3,763,820) was allocated
to land, building and improvements, and other net operating assets.

          The aggregate minimum rents under non-cancelable leases are as
follows:  1997-$487,000; 1998-$394,000; 1999-$406,000; 2000-$419,000; 2001-
$381,000; thereafter-$318,000.


Zehntel
- -------

          On September 11, 1986, the Partnership acquired two one-story research
and development buildings and land located in Walnut Creek, California, subject
to a first mortgage loan.  The property was listed for sale during the third
quarter of 1995, and the indication from the market was that the Partnership
would likely not recover its net carrying value over the shortened investment
period.  Accordingly, the Partnership recognized an investment valuation
allowance of $2,200,000 through a charge to operations.  The carrying value was
further reduced by $400,000 in the fourth quarter of 1995, with the refinement
of the fair market value estimate based on the terms of the pending sale
transaction.  The property was sold on April 9, 1996 for $11,449,612, of which
$4,215,073 was used to repay the related mortgage loan and $506,687 was used to
complete certain improvements and pay certain costs, as conditions of the sale.
After closing costs, the Partnership received net proceeds of $11,148,837 and
recognized a gain of $21,483 ($0.62 per limited partnership unit) on the sale.
(Approximately $50,000 was received in the fourth quarter of 1996, upon the
finalization of all conditions.)  A disposition fee of $343,488 was accrued but
not paid to the advisor.  On April 25, 1996, the Partnership made a capital
distribution of $6,120,837 ($177 per limited partnership unit) from the
proceeds.


United Exposition
- -----------------

          On October 28, 1987, the Partnership acquired two industrial buildings
and land located in Las Vegas, Nevada.  On August 13, 1996, the United
Exposition property was sold for $5,372,500.  The Partnership received net
proceeds of $5,202,964, after closing costs, and recognized a gain of $885,059
($25.34 per limited partnership unit).  A disposition fee of $161,175 was
accrued but not paid to the advisor.  On August 29, 1996, the Partnership made a
capital distribution of $5,187,150 ($150 per limited partnership unit) from the
proceeds.


NOTE 4 - REAL ESTATE JOINT VENTURES
- -----------------------------------

          The Partnership was invested in two real estate joint ventures
organized as general partnerships with a real estate management/development
firm.  One joint venture investment was restructured into a wholly-owned
property in 1996.  The Partnership made capital contributions to the ventures,
which are subject to preferential cash distributions at a specified rate and to
priority distributions with respect to sale or refinancing proceeds.  The
Partnership also made loans to these ventures.  The Joint venture agreements
provide for the funding of cash flow deficits by the venture partners in
proportion to ownership interests, and for the dilution of ownership share in
the event a venture partner does not contribute proportionately.

          The respective real estate management/development firm is responsible
for day-to-day development and operating activities, although overall authority
and responsibility for the business is shared by the venturers.  The real estate
management/development firms, or their affiliates, also provide various services
to the joint ventures for a fee.

Medlock Oaks
- ------------

          On December 4, 1987, the Partnership entered into a joint venture with
an affiliate of the Partnership and with an affiliate of Hill Properties, Ltd.,
to construct and operate five warehouse and service center buildings located in
Atlanta, Georgia.  The Partnership made a capital contribution of $1,932,300 to
the venture which is subject to preferential returns of 10.25% per annum.  In
addition, the Partnership made a construction/permanent mortgage loan to the
venture of $4,964,700, which bears interest at 10.25% per annum.

          On September 3, 1991, ownership of the investment was restructured as
a result of the management/development firm's decision not to contribute its
required proportionate share of capital to fund operating deficits.  Its
ownership interest was assigned pro rata to the Partnership and its affiliate.
As a result, the Partnership's ownership interest increased from 38.19% to 57%.

          The aggregate minimum rents due to the venture under non-cancelable
leases are $950,240, $679,580, $206,515 and $60,062 in 1997 through 2000,
respectively.

          The Managing General Partner determined in 1994 that the carrying
value of this investment should be reduced to its net realizable value.
Accordingly, the carrying value was reduced by $200,000 with a charge to
operations.  In the first quarter of 1996, the Managing General Partner
determined that the Partnership would be unable to recover the carrying value of
this investment and, accordingly, the carrying value was reduced by $250,000
through a charge to investment valuation allowances.  The property is now under
contract for sale which is expected to close in the second quarter of 1997.  The
selling price will exceed the investment carrying value of $4,704,079 at
December 31, 1996.  For the year then ended, the Partnership's share of joint
venture earnings was $280,509.

NOTE 6 - PARTNERS' CAPITAL
- --------------------------

          Allocation of net income (losses) from operations and distributions of
distributable cash from operations, as defined, are in the ratio of 99% to the
limited partners and 1% to the general partners.  Cash distributions are made
quarterly.

          Net sale proceeds and financing proceeds will be allocated first to
limited partners to the extent of their contributed capital plus a stipulated
return thereon, as defined, second to pay disposition fees, and then 85% to the
limited partners and 15% to the general partners.  Income from sales is
allocated in proportion to the distribution of related proceeds, provided that
the general partners are allocated at least 1%.  Income or losses from sales, if
there are no residual proceeds after the repayment of the related debt, are
allocated 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the general partners.

To the Venturers of
Medlock Oaks Associates



We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of MEDLOCK OAKS ASSOCIATES [a
joint venture] as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the related statements of
operations, changes in venturers' deficit, and cash flows for the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Joint Venture's management.  Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of MEDLOCK OAKS ASSOCIATES as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                       DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995, AND 1994



A.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
    ------------------------------------------ 

  Terms of the Joint Venture Agreement:
  ------------------------------------ 

  MEDLOCK OAKS ASSOCIATES, a Georgia joint venture, was formed December 4, 1987
  under an agreement between Copley Realty Income Partners 1 and 2 [CRIP 1 and
  CRIP 2], two Massachusetts limited partnerships, and Hill Limited #10 [Hill],
  a Georgia limited partnership, with initial ownership interests of 34.2%,
  25.8% and 40%, respectively. Effective January 1, 1990, the respective
  interests of the Venturers were:  CRIP 1 - 38.19%; CRIP 2 - 28.81%; and Hill's
  - 33%.  On September 3, 1991, the Joint Venture entered into an agreement for
  the transfer and assignment of Hill's 33% Joint Venture interest to CRIP 1 and
  CRIP 2.  Upon execution of the agreement, CRIP 1 and CRIP 2's partnership
  interests increased to 57% and 43%, respectively.  Under this agreement, Hill
  has no rights or entitlements to any future allocations and distributions or
  to any amounts accrued as of the date of the transfer.

  The purpose of the Venture is to own and operate Medlock Oaks Business Center
  located in Gwinnett County, Georgia.  The Project consists of two phases.
  Phase I consists of three office/warehouse buildings with approximately
  114,900 rentable square feet and was completed in December 1987.  Phase II
  consists of two office/warehouse buildings with approximately 60,200 rentable
  square feet and was completed in May 1990.

  CRIP 1 and CRIP 2 initially contributed $1,932,300 and $1,457,700 to the Joint
  Venture. Except as provided in the Joint Venture Agreement, the Venturers will
  not be required to make any further capital contributions.

  The operating cash flow, as defined in the Joint Venture Agreement, must be
  distributed in the following order of priority:

   - To CRIP 1 and 2, pro rata, based on their respective amounts of invested
     capital, in payment of any monthly guaranteed payments.

   - To CRIP 1 and 2, pro rata, based on their respective amounts of invested
     capital, in payment of any outstanding accrued monthly guaranteed payments.

   - To the Venturers in payment of their default priority returns.

   - To the Venturers in payment of their deficit preferred returns.

   - To the Venturers in accordance with their respective interests.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [CONTINUED]
                       DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995, AND 1994



A.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:  [Continued]
    ------------------------------------------              

  Capitalization:
  -------------- 

  All costs related to planning, development, and construction of the buildings
  have been capitalized as construction costs. Costs incurred to form the Joint
  Venture, obtain financing, and promote the development have also been
  capitalized.

  Interest incurred on the notes was capitalized during the 1990 construction
  and lease up periods.

  Property:
  -------- 

  Property is carried at cost.  Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are
  expensed currently, while renewals and betterments that materially extend the
  life of an asset are capitalized.  The cost of assets sold, retired, or
  otherwise disposed of, and the related allowance for depreciation, are
  eliminated from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is included in
  operations.

  Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated
  useful lives of the assets which are as follows:

     Buildings and improvements                   30 years
     Tenant improvements                          15 years

  Amortization:
  ------------ 

  Deferred lease commissions costs were capitalized and are being amortized on a
  straight-line basis over the term of the related lease.

  Leasing Revenue:
  --------------- 

  Income from operating leases, which includes scheduled increases over the
  lease term, is recognized on a straight-line basis.  For the years ended
  December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994, income recognized on a straight-line basis
  was less than income which would have accrued in accordance with the lease by
  approximately $8,000, $5,000, and $90,000, respectively. Receivables which
  resulted from recognizing income on a straight-line basis totaled $69,930 at
  December 31, 1996 and $80,670 at December 31, 1995.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [CONTINUED]
                       DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995, AND 1994


A.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:  [Continued]
    ------------------------------------------              

  Receivables:
  ----------- 

  The Venture provides warehouse and office space to tenants located in the
  metropolitan Atlanta area.  Credit is issued based upon the size of the
  company, its past history, and other factors.  Tenants are approved by all
  venturers.  If any defaults occur, the accounting loss would be the value of
  receivables owed by the tenant, any unamortized leasing commissions and,
  possibly, tenant improvements provided to the tenant by the Venture.

  Reclassifications:
  ----------------- 

  Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 1996
  presentation.

  Income Taxes:
  ------------ 

  No provision has been made for income taxes because each venturer's
  proportionate share of the Joint Venture income or loss is passed through to
  be included in the individual tax return of the venturer.

B.  NOTES PAYABLE:
    ------------- 

  Under the notes payable to CRIP 1 and CRIP 2, as amended effective January 1,
  1990, the Joint Venture may borrow up to $8,710,000 ($4,964,700 from CRIP 1
  and $3,745,300 from CRIP 2) at 10.25% per annum for the construction of Phase
  I tenant improvements, the Phase II building shell and Phase II tenant
  improvements.  The notes bear interest at an annual rate of 10.25% per annum
  which is payable monthly through December 4, 1997, at which date all
  outstanding principal and accrued interest is due.  The notes are secured by a
  first mortgage on the land and buildings as well as an assignment of all
  leases and rental income.  Total principal due under these notes at December
  31, 1996 and 1995 was $4,850,094 to CRIP 1 and $3,658,843 to CRIP 2.

  Accrued interest of $1,033,002 and $1,083,815 relating to those notes has been
  included in the accompanying balance sheets at December 31, 1996 and 1995,
  respectively.  The Joint Venture paid $922,978, $743,020, and $691,847 in
  interest in 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively.

C.  GUARANTEED PAYMENTS:
    ------------------- 

  The Venture is required to make monthly guaranteed payments to CRIP 1 and 2
  based on the amount of invested capital outstanding in CRIP 1 and 2's capital
  accounts for each month during the year.  The guaranteed payments accrue at
  the rate of 10.25% per annum and unpaid guaranteed payments accrue at 10.25%
  per annum.  Guaranteed payments totaled $198,061 for CRIP 1 and $149,414 for
  CRIP 2 in each of the last three years. Amounts accrued but unpaid are
  $2,171,719 and $1,824,244 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
  Accrued interest related to the unpaid guaranteed payments totaled $853,863
  and $578,869 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

D.  LEASE RENTALS:
    ------------- 

  At present, the Joint Venture has approximately 19 tenants.  Future minimum
  rentals to be received under the existing leases at December 31, 1996, which
  are classified and accounted for as operating leases, are as follows:

 
                December 31,      Lease Revenues
                ------------      --------------
                                                
                                                
                        1997            $950,240
                        1998             679,580
                        1999             206,515
                        2000              60,062
                                       --------- 
 
                                      $1,896,397
                                       =========

E. MATTERS AFFECTING OPERATIONS:
   ---------------------------- 

  The Joint Venture has incurred operating losses since inception and currently
  projects operating losses and cash flow deficits for the next year in excess
  of committed borrowing capacity.  Therefore, the ability of the Joint Venture
  to continue as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining additional
  financing, or funding from CRIP 1 and CRIP 2, since the success of future
  operations cannot be determined at this time.

  The management of CRIP 1 and CRIP 2 has indicated its intentions to provide
  the additional financing as needed by deferring payments of interest and
  making capital contributions or loans to provide for continued operations of
  the Joint Venture through at least January 1, 1998.
