QUARTERLY REPORT
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1996

FELLOW PARTNERS:

We are pleased to report that the sale of Fairchild was completed in August
and that proceeds of $27.91 per unit will be distributed to you in November.
This sale is quite an important indication of the improving California
markets, particularly the Irvine area, where the sale produced the greatest
price per square foot for this type of property in recent years.
      As we move forward in the process of liquidating the Fund's properties,
our primary focus will shift from the production of income to the strategic
positioning of the properties to maximize potential sales proceeds. 

Results of Operations

Rental income held steady in the quarter ended September 30, 1996, relative to
the 1995 period, even though Regal Row, which was sold in mid-February, made
no contribution this year and Fairchild was in the portfolio for two months
versus the full quarter in 1995. The year-to-date revenue comparison, however,
was affected by the absence of rental income from these two properties. 
      Net income comparisons for the third quarter and nine months were both
influenced by properties sold as well as by those held for sale. For the
nine-month period, the decline in AMCC's carrying value was the primary reason
net income was down. For the third quarter, the gain on the sale of Fairchild,
a higher recovery in property value than was experienced last year, and the
absence of depreciation on AMCC and the properties sold were the major
contributors to the threefold increase in net income.
      Excluding the sold and held-for-sale properties, Tierrasanta and
Baseline had the greatest improvement year-to-date in operating income
relative to the comparable 1995 period. It was not enough, however, to offset
the drop in income from operations at Business Plaza. In 1995, this property's
value was adjusted upward by $243,000, so its contribution last year was only
$39,000 if you exclude this change in valuation (see the table on page 1).
While the property's average leased status lagged that of the first nine
months of 1995, there was a significant improvement in the third quarter of
1996.
      The opposite is true for Tierrasanta where, as we reported last quarter,
a tenant who occupied 38% of the total space did not renew upon expiration in
August. There is interest in the property and the market is tightening, but we
want to caution that the costs associated with re-leasing, including making
the buildings more accessible to the physically challenged, may be high. At
Baseline, 100% of the leases will expire between now and the end of 1997, and
our strategy here will be to find replacement tenants with better credit than
those who do not renew while focusing on longer lease terms.
      Even though cash from operating activities has declined this year, the
inclusion of sale proceeds resulted in a greater increase in the cash position
than in the 1995 period. As discussed below, the Fairchild proceeds are being
distributed to you this month.

Cash Distributions

Cash from operations again allowed us to make the planned $6.50 per unit
distribution for the third quarter. After the year ends, we will evaluate this
amount and, if appropriate, make a change in the fourth quarter distribution.
      An additional $27.91 per unit is being paid to you for the Fund's 24%
share of the Fairchild sale proceeds. As you may remember, Realty Income Funds
III and IV own the remaining 76% of that property.

Disposition Update

We are actively negotiating a purchase and sales agreement for AMCC and
currently hope to have a signed contract in the near future. Meanwhile, the
building remains 100% leased to a single tenant.
      You will see in the table on page 1 that two properties have been added
to the held-for-sale category - Bonnie Lane and Glenn Avenue. These industrial
buildings are being offered as part of a package which includes three similar
holdings in Realty Income Fund III. 
      As we discussed in the June report, capital flows into real estate are
rising, particularly from large institutional investors. The return of these
buyers has the potential benefit of enabling your Fund to sell more than one
of its holdings, in this case in conjunction with another T. Rowe Price realty
income fund, at one time to one buyer. Many real estate investors may not be
interested in buying an industrial building for, say, $3 million but might
find a larger portfolio of five such properties located in different regions
attractive. One of the advantages of such "portfolio" sales is that it
broadens the base of potential buyers. In addition, the brokerage fees and
other costs associated with closings covering multiple properties may be less.
      Another name will be in the held-for-sale category at the end of
December. In October, the Fund's Investment Review Committee approved
LaSalle's recommendation to put South Point Plaza up for sale, and an
agreement has been signed with a listing broker. 

Outlook

Over the past 12 months, occupancy and rental rates in most of the regions
where your properties are located stabilized or improved. In LaSalle's
opinion, this trend should continue into next year. During the current year,
we will continue to poise the portfolio to take advantage of the more
favorable operating environment. With four of your 10 portfolio holdings
currently for sale, we look forward to updating you on the status of our
marketing efforts in the annual report. In addition, we expect to begin
actively marketing several other properties in the coming year.

      Sincerely,




      James S. Riepe
      Chairman

conjunction with the financial statements contained in the 1995 Annual Report
to Partners.

9% of net operating proceeds. The General Partner earned a partnership
management fee of $164,000 during the first nine months of 1996. In addition,
the General Partner's share of cash available for distribution from operations
totaled $16,000 for the first nine months of 1996.
      In accordance with the partnership agreement, certain operating expenses
are reimbursable to the General Partner. The General Partner's reimbursement
of such expenses totaled $87,000 for communications and administrative
services performed on behalf of the Partnership during the first nine months
of 1996.
      An affiliate of the General Partner earned a normal and customary fee of
$9,000 from the money market mutual funds in which the Partnership made its
interim cash investments during the first nine months of 1996.
      LaSalle Advisors Limited Partnership ("LaSalle") is the Partnership's
advisor and is compensated for its advisory services directly by the General
Partner. LaSalle is reimbursed by the Partnership for certain operating
expenses pursuant to its contract with the Partnership to provide real estate
advisory, accounting and other related services to the Partnership. LaSalle's
reimbursement for such expenses during the first nine months of 1996 totaled
$113,000.
      An affiliate of LaSalle earned $87,000 in the first nine months of 1996
as property manager for several of the Partnership's properties.

NOTE 2 - PROPERTY DISPOSITIONS

On February 14, 1996, the Partnership sold Regal Row and received net proceeds
of $3,612,000. The net book value of the property at that date was also
$3,612,000, after accumulated depreciation and previously recorded property
valuation adjustments. Therefore, no gain or loss is reflected in the
accompanying financial statements. The Partnership recognized a $112,000
valuation recovery in the first quarter of 1996 prior to the disposition of
Regal Row.
      On August 28, 1996, Fairchild Corporate Center, an office property in
which the Partnership had a 24% interest was sold. The Partnership has
subsequently received net proceeds of $2,347,000. The net book value of the
Partnership's interest at the date of sale was $1,648,000, after deduction of
accumulated depreciation and previously recorded permanent impairments.
Accordingly, the Partnership recognized a $699,000 gain on the sale of this
property in the third quarter. 
      Income from operations for these properties, before the gain on real
estate sold, was $146,000 and $279,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
1996 and 1995, respectively.

NOTE 3 - PROPERTIES HELD FOR SALE

The Partnership began actively marketing its two midwest industrial
properties, Bonnie Lane and Glenn Avenue, and has classified them as held for
sale in the accompanying September 30, 1996 balance sheet. 
      The Partnership began actively marketing AMCC in June 1996 and
classifies this property as held for sale in the accompanying September 30,
1996 balance sheet. The Partnership previously recognized a $1.6 million
decline of property value in the second quarter of 1996. The Partnership
recognized a $217,000 valuation recovery in the third quarter of 1996 to
reflect the estimated net sales proceeds of AMCC.
      Results of operations for these properties, after including the net
decline in value of AMCC, resulted in a net loss of $303,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 and net income of $954,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995.
