                              DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS
                      (A Massachusetts Limited Partnership)
                                AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.  Organization of Partnership:

Development Partners (A Massachusetts Limited Partnership), (the "Partnership"),
formerly Berry and Boyle Development  Partners,  was formed on October 23, 1985.
GP L'Auberge  Communities,  L.P., a California  Limited  Partnership,  (formerly
Berry and Boyle  Management)  and  L'Auberge  Realty  Advisors (A  Massachusetts
Limited  Partnership)  ("Advisors"),  are the General Partners. A total of 2,033
individual Limited Partners owning 36,411 Units have contributed  $18,205,500 of
capital to the  Partnership.  At September 30, 1999, the total number of Limited
Partners was 1,964. Except under certain limited  circumstances upon termination
of the Partnership, the General Partners are not required to make any additional
capital  contributions.  The General  Partners or their  affiliates will receive
various fees for  services  and  reimbursement  for various  organizational  and
selling costs incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

The Partnership can continue until December 31, 2010, unless earlier  terminated
by the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership,  or as
otherwise provided in the Partnership Agreement (See Note 8.)

2.  Significant Accounting Policies:

         A.  Basis of Presentation

         The  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts of the
         Partnership  and its  subsidiaries:  Canyon View Joint Venture  (Canyon
         View) and Broadmoor Pines  (Broadmoor).  All intercompany  accounts and
         transactions  have been  eliminated in  consolidation.  The Partnership
         accounts for its  investment  in  Casabella  Associates  utilizing  the
         equity method of accounting.  The Partnership's  investment  account is
         adjusted  to  reflect  its  pro  rata  share  of  profits,  losses  and
         distributions from Casabella Associates.  Refer to Note 4 regarding the
         termination of the Broadmoor Pines Joint Venture,  and Note 5 regarding
         the termination of the Casabella Joint Venture.

         The Partnership follows the accrual method of accounting.

         The  Partnership  considers  itself  to have been  engaged  in only one
         industry segment, real estate.

         B.  Cash and Cash Equivalents

         The Partnership  considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased
         with a maturity  of three  months or less to be cash  equivalents.  The
         carrying value of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value. It
         is  the  Partnership's   policy  to  invest  cash  in  income-producing
         temporary cash  investments.  The  Partnership  mitigates any potential
         risk from such concentration of credit by placing investments with high
         quality financial institutions.

         C. Significant Risks and Uncertainties

         The  preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally
         accepted  accounting  principles  requires management to make estimates
         and  assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amounts  of  assets  and
         liabilities and disclosure of contingent  assets and liabilities at the
         date of the financial  statements and the reported  amounts of revenues
         and expenses during the reporting  period.  Actual results could differ
         from those estimates.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies continued:

         D.  Depreciation

         Depreciation  is provided  for by the use of the  straight-line  method
         over estimated useful lives as follows:

                  Buildings and improvements                            40 years
                  Equipment, furnishings and fixtures                 5-15 years

         As of December  31,  1997,  the  Partnership  recorded  its property as
         Assets Held for Sale on the consolidated  balance sheets.  Accordingly,
         the Partnership stopped  depreciating these assets effective January 1,
         1998.

         E.  Deferred Expenses

         Costs of obtaining or extending various mortgages on the properties are
         being  amortized over the mortgage term using the straight line method,
         which approximates the effective interest method.

         F.  Income Taxes

         No  provision  is made for income taxes since the Partners are required
         to  include  on  their  tax  returns   their  pro  rata  share  of  the
         Partnership's  taxable income or loss. If the Partnership's tax returns
         are  examined  by  the  Internal  Revenue  Service  or a  state  taxing
         authority,  and such an examination  results in a change in partnership
         taxable income or loss, such change will be reported to the Partners.

         G.  Rental Income

         Leases require the payment of rent in advance,  however,  rental income
         is recorded as earned.

         H. Long-Lived Assets

         The Partnership utilizes the provisions of SFAS No. 121, Accounting for
         the  Impairment of Long -Lived Assets and for  Long-Lived  Assets to be
         Disposed Of, to review for impairment.  Recoverability  of assets to be
         held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying  amount of an
         asset to future net cash flows  expected to be  generated by the asset.
         If such assets are  considered  to be impaired,  the  impairment  to be
         recognized  is measured by the amount by which the  carrying  amount of
         the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.  Assets to be disposed
         of are reported at the lower of the carrying  amount or fair value less
         costs to sell.

3.  Cash and Cash Equivalents:

Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998 consisted
 of the following:
                                                     1999             1998
                                                    ----             ----
                  Cash on hand                    $317,764          $256,958


<PAGE>


4.  Joint Venture and Property Acquisitions:

The  Partnership  had invested in three  properties  located in  Scottsdale  and
Tucson,  Arizona and Colorado Springs,  Colorado. The success of the Partnership
will  depend upon  factors  which are  difficult  to predict  including  general
economic and real estate market conditions,  both on a national basis and in the
areas where the  Partnership's  investments  are located.  The  Broadmoor  Joint
Venture was  effectively  terminated on December 31, 1996. The  Partnership  has
eliminated the minority  interest  related to this joint  venture,  as such, the
Partnership owned 100% of the underlying assets as of December 31, 1997.

Canyon View

On  September  29, 1987,  the  Partnership  acquired a majority  interest in the
Canyon  View  Joint  Venture  which owns and  operates  a  168-unit  multifamily
residential  property  located  in Tucson,  Arizona.  The  Partnership  has been
designated as the managing joint venture  partner and will control all decisions
regarding the operation and sale of the property.

In  accordance  with the terms of the purchase  agreement  and the joint venture
agreement,  through  September 30, 1999, the Partnership  has contributed  total
capital of $6,889,588 to the Canyon View Joint Venture,  which was used to repay
a portion of the  construction  loan from a third party  lender,  to pay certain
costs  related to the  refinancing  of the permanent  loan,  to cover  operating
deficits  incurred  during  the  lease up  period  and to fund  certain  capital
improvements.   In  addition,   the  Partnership  funded  $745,902  of  property
acquisition costs which were subsequently  treated as a capital  contribution to
the joint venture.

Net cash from  operations  (as defined in the joint venture  agreement)  will be
distributed  as  available  to each joint  venture  partner  not less often than
quarterly, as follows:

         First,   to  the   Partnership   until  it  has   received   an  annual
         non-cumulative  11.25% priority return on its capital  contribution for
         such year.

         Second,  the balance 75% to the  Partnership and 25% to the other joint
venture partner.

Income from  operations will be allocated to the Partnership and the other joint
venture partner  generally in accordance with the  distribution of net cash from
operations.

Losses from operations will generally be allocated 100% to the Partnership.

In the case of certain capital transactions and distributions, as defined in the
joint venture  agreement,  the  allocation of related  profits,  losses and cash
distributions,  if any, would be different than as described  above and would be
affected by the relative balances in the individual partners' capital accounts.

Broadmoor

On October 12, 1988, the Partnership acquired L'Auberge Broadmoor  ("Broadmoor")
(formerly Broadmoor Pines), a 108-unit  residential property located in Colorado
Springs, Colorado and simultaneously contributed the property to a joint venture
comprised of the  Partnership and the property  developer (the "Broadmoor  Pines
Joint  Venture").  The  Partnership  owned a majority  interest in the Broadmoor
Pines Joint Venture and, therefore, the accounts and operations of the Broadmoor
Pines Joint Venture were consolidated into those of the Partnership.

The co-venture partner was Highland Properties, Inc. ("Highland"), a Colorado
based residential development, construction and
management firm.  Highland developed the property known as L'Auberge Broadmoor.
4.  Joint Venture and Property Acquisitions, continued:

The  Partnership  had been  designated the managing joint venture partner of the
Broadmoor  Pines Joint Venture and  controlled  the  operations of the Broadmoor
Pines Joint Venture and the property.

Through  September 30, 1999, the  Partnership  made cash payments in the form of
capital  contributions  totaling  $6,079,200 and has funded $684,879 of property
acquisition  costs  which were  treated as a capital  contribution  to the joint
venture.

JANUARY 1, 1996, THROUGH JULY 2, 1996

Net cash from  operations (as defined in the joint venture  agreement) was to be
distributed as available to each joint venture partner quarterly, as follows:

         First,  to the  Partnership  an  amount  equal  to  11.25%  per  annum,
         noncumulative  (computed daily on a simple noncompounded basis from the
         date of completion  funding) of its respective capital  investment,  as
         defined in the joint venture agreement;

         Second,  the balance 80% to the  Partnership,  and 20% to the  property
developer.

Losses from  operations and  depreciation  for the Broadmoor Pines Joint Venture
were allocated 100% to the Partnership.

All profits from operations to the extent of cash  distributions  shall first be
allocated to the Partnership  and the property  developer in the same proportion
as the cash  distributions.  Any  remaining  profits  are  allocated  80% to the
Partnership and 20% to the property developer.

In the case of certain capital  transactions and distributions as defined in the
joint venture  agreement,  the  allocation of related  profits,  losses and cash
distributions,  if any, would be different than as described  above and would be
affected by the relative balances in the individual partners' capital accounts.

JULY 3, 1996, THROUGH MAY 28, 1998

On July 3, 1996, the Partnership and certain affiliates consummated an agreement
with Highland  Properties,  Inc.  ("Highland")  which separated the interests of
Highland and the Partnership, thus affording the Partnership greater flexibility
in the operation and disposition of the property.  In consideration of a payment
by the Partnership to Highland  totaling $8,683,  and delivery of certain mutual
releases,  Highland (i)  relinquished its option to exercise its rights of first
refusal  with regard to the sale of the  property  and (ii)  assigned all of its
interest in the  L'Auberge  Broadmoor  Joint Venture to the  Partnership  (while
preserving  the economic  interests  of the  venturer in these Joint  Ventures),
which  resulted in the  dissolution  of the L'Auberge  Broadmoor  Joint Venture.
Highland may still share in cash flow distributions or proceeds from the sale of
the property if certain performance levels are met.

On May 28, 1998,  L'Auberge  Broadmoor  was sold pursuant to the terms of a Sale
Agreement  and Escrow  Instructions  (the  "Agreement")  dated January 26, 1998.
L'Auberge  Broadmoor was sold to G&I Broadmoor LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company  unaffiliated with the Partnership.  The net selling price for Broadmoor
was $8,048,532  subject to certain customary  adjustments net of a credit to the
purchaser of $139,000 for capital improvements.  The mortgage in the approximate
amount of  $3,514,880  was paid at closing  utilizing a portion of proceeds from
the sale. The Partnership realized net proceeds of approximately $4,439,400 from
the sale.  In 1998,  the  partnership  recognized  a gain on sale for  financial
reporting purposes of $140,391.

5.  Investment in Partnership:

On  November  5, 1990,  the  Partnership  contributed  $400,000  to  purchase an
approximate 8.5% interest in Casabella  Associates,  a general partnership among
the Partnership,  Development Partners II (A Massachusetts  Limited Partnership)
("DPII") and  Development  Partners III (A  Massachusetts  Limited  Partnership)
("DPIII").  In addition to its  contribution  referred to above, the Partnership
incurred  $83,668 of acquisition  costs,  including  $41,400 in acquisition fees
paid to the General  Partners.  As of December 31, 1997, the difference  between
the partnership's  carrying value of the investment in Casabella  Associates and
the  amount of  underlying  equity in net  assets was  $65,345,  representing  a
portion of the  acquisition  costs  stated  above that were not  recorded on the
books of Casabella Associates.

The co-venture  partner was an affiliate of Evans Withycombe,  Inc.  ("EWI"),  a
Phoenix based residential development, construction and management firm. EWI was
also the developer of the Casabella property.

On May 14, 1996, the Partnership and certain affiliates consummated an agreement
with Evans  Withycombe  Management,  Inc. and certain of its affiliates  ("EWI")
which  separated the interests of EWI and the  Partnership,  thus  affording the
Partnership  greater  flexibility in the operation and disposition of Casabella.
The  Partnership,  DPII,  and DPIII paid $71,009 to EWI ($5,681 of which was the
Partnership's   portion)  and  delivered   certain  mutual  releases.   EWI  (i)
relinquished  its  contract to manage  Casabella  and its option to exercise its
rights  to  first  refusal  with  regard  to the sale of the  property  and (ii)
assigned all of its interest in the Casabella Joint Venture to the  Partnership,
DPII and DPIII (while  preserving the economic  interest of the venture in these
Joint  Ventures),  which  resulted in the  dissolution  of the  Casabella  Joint
Venture. EWI may still share in the cash flow distributions or the proceeds from
sale of the properties if certain performance levels are met.

On May 22, 1998, Casabella Associates sold its only material asset, Casabella, a
154-unit  multi family rental  property in Scottsdale,  Arizona  pursuant to the
terms of a Sale  Agreement  and  Escrow  Instructions  (the  "Agreement")  dated
February 4, 1998, as amended.
Casabella was sold to Casabella Condominium Ventures
Limited  Partnership,  a limited partnership  unaffiliated with the Partnership.
The net selling price was $11,418,702  subject to certain customary  adjustments
net of a credit to the purchaser of $120,000 for certain  capital  improvements.
Casabella  Associates  repaid mortgage  financing in the  approximate  amount of
$6,750,400  at closing  utilizing a portion of proceeds  from the sale.  The net
proceeds to Casabella  Associates from the sale of Casabella were  approximately
$4,570,300 of which the Partnership's share was approximately  $388,475. EWI did
not share in the proceeds from sale of the properties since certain  performance
levels were not  satisfied.  Casabella  Associates  recognized a gain on sale of
$2,066,086, of which the Partnership's share was approximately $175,617 less the
$65,345 difference between the Partnership's carrying value of its investment in
Casabella Associates and the amount of underlying equity in net assets.

6.  Partners' Equity:

Under the terms of the Partnership Agreement profits are generally allocated 98%
to the Limited Partners and 2% to the General Partners; losses are allocated 99%
to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partners.

Cash distributions to the partners are governed by the Partnership Agreement and
are made,  to the extent  available,  98% to the Limited  Partners and 2% to the
General Partners.

The allocation of the related profits, losses, and distributions,  if any, would
be different than  described  above in the case of certain events defined in the
Partnership Agreement, such as the sale of an investment property or an interest
in a joint venture partnership.


7.  Related Party Transactions:

L'Auberge Communities, Inc. is a  General Partner of L'Auberge Communities,
which owns a 99% interest in GP L'Auberge Communities,
L.P.  (formerly Berry and Boyle Management).  Due to affiliates at September 30,
1999 and December 31, 1998 consisted of $22,674 and $57,042, respectively,
relating to reimbursable costs due to L'Auberge Communities, Inc.

In 1999 and 1998,  general  and  administrative  expenses  included  $40,752 and
$46,844, respectively, of salary reimbursements paid to the General Partners for
certain  administrative and accounting  personnel who performed services for the
Partnership.

During the nine months ended  September 30, 1999 and 1998,  property  management
fees of  $38,474  and  $52,026,  respectively,  had  been  paid  to  Residential
Services-L'Auberge,  formerly Berry and Boyle Residential Services, an affiliate
of the General Partners of the Partnership. These fees are 4% of rental revenue.

8.  Assets Held for Sale:

During the fourth  quarter of 1997,  the  General  Partners  of the  Partnership
committed  to a plan to dispose of Canyon View in Tucson,  Arizona.  In February
1998, the Partnership  entered into sales  agreement (the "Sales  Agreement") to
sell Canyon View to Tucson Realty  Holding Co., Inc.  ("TRH"),  an  unaffiliated
third party, for approximately $10,101,497. The sale was approved by the Limited
Partners in May 1998.

As previously reported,  the sale of Canyon View to TRH had been delayed because
of a lawsuit  filed by another party  claiming that it had properly  exercised a
right of first refusal to purchase Canyon View. On June 30, 1999 the dispute was
resolved, and all litigation  terminated,  through the execution of a settlement
agreement by all parties.  The settlement  agreement included the termination of
all rights of the holder of the right of first  refusal to purchase  Canyon View
Apartments in exchange for a cash payment. The Partnership's  contribution,  net
of the receipt of an insurance reimbursement, was $97,500.

Following the  consummation of the settlement,  TRH elected to withdraw from the
sale transaction with no liability to the Partnership, because of the long delay
in  achieving a closing of the  transaction.  While  there can be no  assurance,
certain market conditions suggest that the Canyon View Apartments may be sold at
a potentially  higher price than the price  contemplated  in the Sale Agreement.
The General Partners are currently reoffering Canyon View for sale and intend to
complete the sale in as expeditious a manner as possible.

As it is the intent of the General  Partners to pursue the sale of Canyon  View,
the  Partnership  has recorded the assets at the lower of carrying  value or net
realizable  value and has included  these amounts as Assets Held for Sale on the
Consolidated  Balance  Sheets as of September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998. In
accordance  with SFAS 121, the  Partnership  stopped  depreciating  these assets
effective  January 1, 1998.  If closing of the sale were to occur,  any proceeds
from the sale of Canyon View will be  allocated  to the  Partners in  accordance
with the terms of the Partnership  Agreement and the Partnership  will likely be
liquidated.

ITEM 2.      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations contains  forward-looking  statements  including those concerning the
General Partners' expectations regarding future financial performance and future
events.   These   forward-looking   statements  involve   significant  risk  and
uncertainties,  including  those  described  herein.  Actual  results may differ
materially from those anticipated by such forward-looking statements.

Liquidity; Capital Resources

The working  capital  reserves  of the  Partnership  consisted  of cash and cash
equivalents  and  short-term  investments.  Together  these amounts  provide the
Partnership with the necessary  liquidity to carry on its day-to-day  operations
and to make necessary contributions to the various properties.  At September 30,
1999, the  Partnership had cash and cash  equivalents of $317,764  compared with
$256,958 at December 31, 1998.  The aggregate  net increase of $60,806  resulted
from cash provided by operations of $134,433 offset by partner  distributions of
$63,719 and capital expenditures of $9,908.

Property Status

The Partnership  owns a majority joint venture interest in the Canyon View Joint
Venture, an Arizona joint venture that owns and operates Canyon View, a 168-unit
multifamily rental property in Tucson,  Arizona. Until its sale in May 1998, the
Partnership owned and operated Broadmoor, a 108-unit multifamily rental property
in  Colorado  Springs,   Colorado.  The  ownership  of  Broadmoor  was  formerly
structured  as a joint  venture  of  which  the  Partnership  owned  a  majority
interest.  With regard to the  termination of the Broadmoor Pines Joint Venture,
see Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated  Financial Statements.  As further discussed
in Note 8 of the Notes to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements,  Canyon  View is
being offer for sale.

Canyon View

As of September 30, 1999, the property was 94% occupied, compared to 75%
approximately one year ago.  At September 30, 1999 and 1998,
the market rents for the various unit types were as follows:

                        Unit Type                           1999           1998

net income of  $276,006  for the  corresponding  period in 1998.  The  operating
revenue  decreased by $477,987 or 33%  primarily due to the sale of Broadmoor in
May 1998.  Likewise,  the operating  expenses decreased $223,792 or 31%. General
and  administrative  expenses  increased by $43,971 or 18%, primarily due to the
settlement  of  $97,500  for the  Canyon  View  litigation,  offset  by  $53,529
reduction of expenses  including  professional  fees associated with the sale of
the properties in 1998, as well as accounting fees and investor services.

Year 2000 Issues

The Partnership's management has addressed the Year 2000 issue of its management
information systems and financial reporting systems.

The remaining  real-estate  asset of the  Partnership is Canyon View, a 168-unit
multi-family  residential property.  Canyon View's management information system
is AMSI and is already Year 2000 compliant.

The  Partnership's  only  mission  critical  system is its  financial  reporting
software  which is  currently  maintained  on the Platinum  accounting  software
system,  which has not been  updated  to handle the Year 2000 date  change.  The
Partnership's  management  has  already  purchased  AMSI's  financial  reporting
system, which is Year 2000 compliant. The financial records would be transferred
to the AMSI accounting software prior to the end of 1999.

The  accounting  systems  are run on a Novell  network,  has been  upgraded  for
compliance  with  the Year  2000.  The  Partnership's  share of the cost of this
upgrade was approximately $460.

Management  anticipates that all essential functions relative to maintaining the
Partnership,  if any  remain at that  time,  will be  operational  and the costs
associated  with Year 2000  compliance  will not have a  material  impact on the
Partnership.
