                     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                      SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND 1996

                              (UNAUDITED)

GENERAL

     Readers of this quarterly report should refer to the Partnership's
audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996
which are included in the Partnership's 1996 Annual Report, as certain
footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in
such audited financial statements have been omitted from this report.

     The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP
requires the Partnership to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported or disclosed amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period.  Actual results may differ from such
estimates.

     The Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-
Lived Assets to be Disposed of" ("SFAS 121") as required in the first
quarter of 1996.  The Partnership's policy is to consider a property to be
held for sale or disposition when the Partnership has committed to a plan
to sell such property and active marketing activity has commenced or is
expected to commence in the near term.  In accordance with SFAS 121, any
properties identified as "held for sale or disposition" are no longer
depreciated.  The accompanying financial statements include $322,154 and
$468,369, respectively, of the Partnership's share of total property
operations of $961,369 and $1,320,157 the nine months ended September 30,
1997 and 1996 for unconsolidated properties held for sale or sold during
the past two years.

     During the second quarter of 1997, Statements of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128 ("Earnings per Share") and No. 129 ("Disclosure of
Information about Capital Structure") were issued.  As the Partnership's
capital structure only has general and limited partnership interests, the
Partnership does not expect any significant impact on its financial
statements upon adoption of these standards when required at the end of
1997.

     Certain amounts in the 1996 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform with the 1997 presentation.


TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

     The Partnership, pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, is permitted
to engage in various transactions involving the Corporate General Partner
and its affiliates including the reimbursement for salaries and salary-
related expenses of its employees, certain of its officers, and other
direct expenses relating to the administration of the Partnership and the
operation of the Partnership's investments.  Fees and other expenses
required to be paid by the Partnership to the General Partners and their
affiliates as of September 30, 1997 and for the nine months ended September
30, 1997 and 1996 were as follows:

                                  =======    =======         ======  

     The General Partners have deferred payment of approximately $442,000
of their distributions of prior net cash flow from the Partnership and
approximately $877,000 of their subordinated portion of sales and repayment
proceeds at September 30, 1997, in accordance with the subordination
requirements of the Partnership Agreement.  Such subordination requirements
are not expected to be attained over the remaining expected operating
period of the Partnership.  All amounts deferred or currently payable do
not bear interest.


NORTH RIVERS MARKET SHOPPING CENTER

     Occupancy increased to 88% at September 30, 1997, from 87% at June 30,
1997. The property manager has been attempting to lease the remaining
vacant space in the center and as a result, the center is currently 94%
leased.  As the venture has committed to a plan to sell the property, the
property was classified as held for sale or disposition as of December 31,
1996 and, therefore, is not subject to continued depreciation.  In such
regard, the venture has reached an agreement in principle to sell the
property by the end of 1997 to an independent third party.  However, the
sale is subject to various contingencies including final documentation and
therefore there can be no assurance that a sale transaction will be
completed in the near term with this or any other purchaser.  If the sale
is completed on the proposed terms, the venture would recognize a gain in
1997 for financial reporting purposes (due in part to the $2,300,000 value
impairment provision recorded by the venture in 1995) and a gain in 1997
for Federal income tax purposes, approximately 33.5% of which would be
allocated to the Partnership.

PART I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

     Reference is made to the notes to the accompanying financial
statements for additional information concerning the Partnership's
investments.

     During 1996, some of the Holders of Interests in the Partnership
received from unaffiliated third parties unsolicited tender offers to
purchase up to 4.9% of the Interests in the Partnership at $425 per
Interest.  The Partnership recommended against acceptance of these offers
on the basis that, among other things, the offer prices were inadequate. 
Such offers have expired.  The Partnership had also received a request from
another unaffiliated third party for the list of Holders of Interests.  It
is possible that other offers for Interests may be made by unaffiliated
third parties in the future, although there is no assurance that any other
third party will commence an offer for Interests, the terms of any such
offer or whether any such offer, if made, will be consummated, amended or
withdrawn.  The board of directors of JMB Realty Corporation ("JMB"), the
corporate general partner of the Partnership, has established a special
committee (the "Special Committee") consisting of certain directors of JMB
to deal with all matters relating to tender offers for Interests in the
Partnership, including any and all responses to such tender offers.  The
Special Committee has retained independent counsel to advise it in
connection with any potential tender offers for Interests and has retained
Lehman Brothers Inc. as financial advisor to assist the Special Committee
in evaluating and responding to any additional potential tender offers for
Interests.

     The Partnership has been made aware that in July and September 1997,
two unsolicited tender offers to some of the Holders of Interests were made
by an unaffiliated third party.  These offers sought to purchase up to 4.9%
of the Interests in the Partnership at $105 per Interest.  One offer was
extended to October 1997 and has now expired and the second offer is
scheduled to expire in mid-November.  The Special Committee recommended
against acceptance of these offers on the basis that, among other things,
the offer price was inadequate.  As of the date of this report, the
Partnership is aware that 2.49% of the outstanding Interests have been
purchased in 1996 and 1997 by all such unaffiliated third parties either
pursuant to such tender offers or through negotiated purchases.

     The affairs of the Partnership are expected to be wound up in the
1997-1998 time frame, barring unforeseen economic developments.  However,
the Partnership's goal of capital appreciation will not be achieved. 
Although the Partnership expects to distribute sale proceeds from the
planned disposition of the Partnership's remaining investment in North
Rivers Market, aggregate sale and repayment distributions received by
Holders of Interests over the entire term of the Partnership are expected
to be less than their original investment.

     It is currently anticipated that the Partnership will distribute
approximately $2.6 million ($60 per Interest) to the Holders of Interests
in late November, 1997.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The decrease in cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 1997 as
compared to December 31, 1996 is due primarily to distributions of
approximately $23,153,000 ($535 per Interest) made to the Limited Partners
in February 1997 representing substantially all of the proceeds from the
repayment of the Franklin Farm Village Center and Riverpoint Shopping
Center mortgage loans in 1996.  The Partnership also distributed
approximately $240,000 of operating cash flow in May 1997 ($24,042 of which
was the General Partners' share).



<PAGE>


     The decrease in interest and other receivables at September 30, 1997
as compared to December 31, 1996 is due primarily to the 1997 receipt from
the affiliated venture partner (Mortgage Partners-III) of the final
distribution of cash from Calibre Point Apartments, which was sold in May
1996.  An additional decrease in interest and other receivables is due to a
decrease in accrued interest as a result of a decrease in cash and cash
equivalents at September 30, 1997 as described above.

     The decrease in accounts payable at September 30, 1997 as compared to
December 31, 1996 is due primarily to the 1997 payment of accrued mortgage
investment servicing fees and recurring professional fees.

     The decrease in other liabilities at September 30, 1997 as compared to
December 31, 1996 is due primarily to deposits held for real estate taxes
and insurance for the Riverpoint Shopping Center at December 31, 1996 which
were remitted to the borrower in 1997 in conjunction with the December 1996
loan payoff.

     The decreases in interest income, mortgage investment servicing fees,
and amortization of deferred expenses for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1997 as compared to the same periods in 1996 are due
primarily to the repayment of the Riverpoint Center and Franklin Farm
Village Center mortgage loans in 1996.

     The decrease in Partnership's share of operations of unconsolidated
ventures for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 is due primarily to the sale of the
Calibre Pointe Apartments in May 1996.  The increase in the Partnership's
share of operations of unconsolidated ventures for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 1996
is primarily due to the suspension of depreciation in 1997 on the North
Rivers Market property as such property was classified by the venture as
held for sale or disposition as of December 31, 1996.

     An additional provision for loan loss on the loan secured by the
Riverpoint Center was recorded by the lenders in July 1996, of which the
Partnership's share was $106,000.

     Gain on sale of property by unconsolidated venture of approximately
$980,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 represents the
Partnership's share of gain from the sale of the Calibre Pointe Apartments
in May 1996.
