Item 2. - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations:
Income from continuing operations increased by $444,000 and $1,024,000
for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996 as compared
with the same periods ended September 30, 1995. The increase in earnings for the
comparable nine-month periods was primarily due to decreases in interest,
depreciation and general and administrative expenses, increases in earnings from
the hotel operation and other interest income, a $75,000 gain on the sale of
real estate in the second quarter and nonrecurring other income of $144,000.
This was partially offset by an increase in property expense. Lease revenues
were substantially unchanged. The decrease in interest expense was due to the
satisfaction of the mortgage debt on the Advanced Systems Applications, Inc.
("ASA") property, which was fully amortized in March 1996, and of the loan on
the Jupiter, Florida property in December 1995 at the time the property was
sold. The decrease in depreciation was primarily attributable to the sale of the
Jupiter property. The decrease in general and administrative expense was due to
higher accruals for partnership level state franchise taxes in 1995. The
increase in other interest income was due to higher average cash balances in
1996. The increase in property expenses was due to the Partnership's assuming
the responsibility for the operating costs of the ASA property, as described
below, and costs incurred with executing a lease with the United States Postal
Service (the "Postal Service") for a portion of the ASA property. The increase
for the three-month periods was also due to lower interest and depreciation
expenses and nonrecurring other income; however, the Partnership was not
significantly affected by fluctuations in earnings from the hotel operations or
general and administrative and property expenses for the comparable periods.
The increase in hotel earnings for the nine-months ended September 30,
1996 was due to an 11% increase in the average room rate which more than offset
a decline in the occupancy rate from 79% to 76%. Hotel management was successful
in sustaining rate increases for virtually all rate categories including, but
not limited to, regular, corporate and group rate categories. The ability to
increase rates is affected by economic conditions in the Detroit metropolitan
area as approximately 29% of occupied rooms were sold at corporate rates.
Under its agreement with the Partnership, ASA whose lease expires in
June 1997, had been entitled to share one-third of all rents from lessees for
space it had relinquished. Under a separate agreement, the Partnership is not
sharing any of Postal Service's rent with ASA and is receiving all the rents of
an ASA subtenant in consideration for a reduction of ASA's monthly rent by
approximately $23,400 to $122,400 and releasing ASA from its lease obligations
for bearing the costs of repair and maintenance, insurance and real estate
taxes. Such costs are now the responsibility of the Partnership. Monthly rentals
from the Postal Service and the ASA subtenant are $39,100.
Other income consisted of a payment received from the bankruptcy
trustee administering the bankruptcy of the former lessee of the hotel property
in Livonia, Michigan. While there may be additional distributions made on the
Partnership's claim against the former lessee, the Partnership recognizes income
from any settlement as distributions are received. There can be no assurance
that the Partnership will receive additional amounts under its claim against the
former lessee.

Item 2. - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF OPERATIONS, Continued
Financial Condition:
There has been no material change in the Partnership's financial
condition since December 31, 1995. Cash flow from operations of $4,081,000 was
sufficient to pay quarterly distributions to partners of $2,606,000 and
scheduled principal payment installments of $530,000. Cash reserves increased
from the proceeds of the property sales in the first quarter; however, the
Partnership also used $1,000,000 to pay a scheduled balloon payment on the
mortgage loan collateralized by the property leased to Winn Dixie Stores, Inc.
The Partnership may consider refinancing the property in the future; however, no
refinancing is currently being pursued. While the Partnership has substantially
funded a tenant improvement allowance which was required under the Postal
Service lease, the Partnership expects to incur additional costs in retrofitting
the ASA property for multi-tenant use. A significant portion of such costs may
not be incurred until after ASA fully vacates the property at the end of its
lease.
The General Partners are currently investigating ways to provide
liquidity for limited partners on a tax-effective basis.
