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

The accompanying Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses was prepared for the
purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission as described in Note 2 and is not intended to be a complete

                     Notes to Estimated Pro Forma Statement



1)    This statement does not purpose to forecast actual operating results for
      any period in the future and thus, the following assumptions may not be
      valid for future years and actual results may differ.  These statements
      should be read in conjunction with the Statement of Revenue and Certain
      Expenses for the eleven months ended November 30, 1995 which were
      annualized and modified by Management for known changes in revenues and
      expenses associated with the Registrant's ownership of the Property in
      order to estimate the pro forma statement.

2)    Depreciation expense which represents a non-cash expenditure has been
      included for informational purposes only.  Depreciation is calculated on a
      depreciable basis of approximately $3,233,000 using the straight line
      method based on a useful life of 40 years.

3)    The Property will be managed by an unaffiliated third party for an initial
      management fee of 3.0% of gross revenues.

4)    Funds From Operations (or "FFO") has been provided in the Pro Forma
      Statement as supplemental information to the property's projected
      operating results.  FFO is used by the real estate investment trust
      industry as a measure of a property's performance and is defined as net
      operating income from a property's operations, plus certain non-cash items
      including depreciation and amortization and excluding any extraordinary
