Note D - Distributions
The Partnership distributed approximately $28 per unit (approximately $1,696,000
in total) to the holders of limited partnership units and approximately $34,000
to the general partners for each of the six month periods ended June 30, 1996
and 1995.
Note E - Amendment to Service Agreement
The Partnership paid $1,425,000 in January 1995 to Metric Management, Inc.
("MMI") amending their services agreement to provide for a reduction in the
monthly asset management fee from $54,700 to $7,000, the elimination of fees
payable to MMI for its assistance in refinancing and sales of properties owned
by the Partnership and provides the Partnership with the ability to terminate
MMI's services at will.

</TABLE>
The Partnership's net income for the six months ended June 30, 1996, was
approximately $3,008,000, of which $1,522,000 was attributable to the second
quarter, as compared to $2,629,000 and $1,826,000 for the same periods of 1995,
respectively. The increase in net income is attributable to an increase in
hotel revenues due to an overall room rate increase at the Partnership's
investment properties along with a decrease in mortgage interest due to the
repayment of long-term debt on its Hampton Inn - Dublin and Hampton Inn - Kansas
City properties during the fourth quarter of 1995. Partially offsetting these
increases to income were increases in depreciation expense due to substantial
renovations at many of the Partnership's investment properties and general and
administrative expenses due to legal fees and costs associated with the
transition of partnership administration in 1996. In addition, hotel operations
expense increased due to exterior painting projects at the Hampton Inn -
Sycamore, Chapel Hill, Charleston, Birmingham, Nashville and Memphis properties.
Finally, affecting the increase in net income was a decrease in the minority
interest to joint venture partners.
As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the Managing General
Partner monitors the hotel market environment of its investment properties to
assess the feasibility of increasing rates, maintaining or increasing occupancy
levels and protecting the Partnership from increases in expenses. As part of
this plan, the Managing General Partner attempts to protect the Partnership from
the burden of inflation-related increases in expenses by increasing rates and
maintaining a high overall occupancy level. However, due to changing market
conditions, which can result in the use of concessions and room rate reductions
to offset softening market conditions, there is no guarantee that the Managing
General Partner will be able to sustain such a plan.
At June 30, 1996, the Partnership had unrestricted cash of $6,699,000 as
compared to $10,758,000 at June 30, 1995. Net cash provided by operating
activities increased due to the increase in net income discussed above along
with the Partnership incurring costs of $1,425,000 during the first quarter of
1995 in relation to a buyout agreement as discussed in "Item 1. Financial
Statements Note E". Net cash used in investing activities increased primarily
as a result of increases in deposits to restricted cash. Net cash used in
financing activities was comparable to the 1995 amounts.
The sufficiency of existing liquid assets to meet future liquidity and capital
expenditure requirements is directly related to the level of capital
expenditures required at the properties to adequately maintain the physical
assets and other operating needs of the Partnership. Such assets are currently
thought to be sufficient for any near-term needs of the Partnership. The
mortgage indebtedness of $49,665,000 includes mortgages with maturity dates
ranging from 1996 through 2016. The mortgages encumbering the Hampton Inn -
Birmingham and Hampton Inn - North Lake properties (included in the
Partnership's consolidated joint venture, the Combined Fund) in the amounts of
$2,444,000 and $2,387,000, respectively, matured on August 1, 1996. The
Managing General Partner is confident that an extension of these loans will be
granted. A balloon payment on the mortgage encumbering the Partnership's Hampton
Inn - North Dallas property is due in December 1996 in the amount of
approximately $2,927,000. The Combined Fund has balloon payments due in
December 1996 of approximately $35,323,000. The Managing General Partner is
discussing with the lenders the options for extending these mortgages. The
Partnership's remaining properties have balloon payments due in 1998 and 2016.
The Managing General Partner is currently in the process of retaining an
investment advisor to assist in the sale of the assets. It is expected that the
Partnership will begin marketing its properties pursuant to the terms of the
settlement discussed in "Part II - Other Information Item 1. Legal Proceedings",
during the second half of 1996. Future cash distributions will depend on the
levels of cash generated from operations, property sales, and the availability
of cash reserves. A cash distribution of approximately $1,730,000 was paid to
the partners in the first six months of 1996 and 1995.
On February 15, 1996, Devon Associates, a New York general partnership,
commenced a tender offer (the "Offer") for up to 21,000 of the outstanding Units
at a purchase price of $750.00 per Unit. Due to the participation in the tender
offer by affiliates of NPI Realty, and the Managing General Partner's related,
existing and potential conflicts of interest, the Partnership, in its Schedule
14D-9 filed with Securities and Exchange Commission and sent to limited
partners, expressed no opinion and made no recommendation as to whether limited
partners should tender their Units pursuant to the Offer. The expiration of the
tender offers described above was midnight, New York time, on March 25, 1996.
See Items 2-4 of the Schedule 14D-9 of the Partnership, as filed with the
Commission on February 29, 1996, as amended by "Amendment No. 1" thereto, as
filed with the Commission on March 7, 1996, and as further amended by "Amendment
No. 2" thereto, as filed with the Commission on March 14, 1996 and as further
amended by "Amendment No. 3" thereto filed with the Commission on March 18, 1996
(collectively, the "Schedule 14D-9"), for additional information with respect to
the Offer and the current and potential conflicts of interest of MRC-85, which
Items 2-4 are incorporated herein by reference. Devon Associates acquired
17,287 units with respect to this offer. See Part II - Item 1 - Legal
Proceedings.
On March 13, 1996, the Partnership received a letter advising that the
Partnership's and Growth Hotel Investors ("GHI") joint venture partner in
certain of the hotel properties was offering $147,000,000 in cash for all 28
hotel properties directly or indirectly owned by the Partnership and GHI. See
"Amendment No. 2" to the Partnership's Statement on Schedule 14D-9, as filed
with the Commission on March 14, 1996, for a more complete description of this
offer, which "Amendment No. 2 is hereby incorporated by reference herein. By
the terms of the offer, the offer expired on March 31, 1996. The Managing
General Partner determined that before the offer could be recommended, if at
all, to the Partnership's limited partners further analysis of the hotel
properties and their value was needed. See Part II. Item 1 - Legal Proceedings
for information with respect to the marketing of the hotel properties for sale
in connection with the settlement of the actions arising out of the Devon
Associates tender offers.

On February 21, 1996, William and Mildred Wallace, holders of Units of GHI, and
Edith G. Martin and Paul and Gwen Allemang, holders of Units of the Partnership,
commenced an action on behalf of themselves and others similarly situated, and
derivatively on behalf of GHI and the Partnership, in the Supreme Court of the

of its affiliates pertaining to the tender offer for up to 15,000 partnership
Units of GHI and up to 21,000 partnership Units of the Partnership which
commenced February 15, 1996. The action alleged, among other things, that the
tender offers constituted (a) a breach of fiduciary duty owed to limited
partners and the partnerships, and (b) a breach of the provisions of the
partnership agreements of such partnerships. The action, which was brought as
both a derivative action and a class action on behalf of all limited partners,
sought to enjoin the tender offers as well as monetary damages in an unspecified
amount.

Limited Partnership, Nominal Defendants, Superior Court of the State of
California, County of Los Angeles, Case No. BC145220 (The "R&S Asset Partners
Action").
On February 28, 1996, R&S Asset Partners, holders of Units of GHI, and Jesse B.
Small, holder of Units of the Partnership, commenced an action on behalf of
themselves and others similarly situated, and derivatively on behalf of GHI and
the Partnership, in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los
Angeles, against, among others, MRC-85 and certain of its affiliates pertaining
to the tender offer for up to 15,000 partnership Units of GHI and up to 21,000
partnership Units of the Partnership which commenced February 15, 1996. The
action alleged, among other things, that the tender offers constituted (a) a
breach of fiduciary duty owed to the limited partners of the partnerships, (b)
negligent misrepresentations pertaining to the disclosure set forth in the offer
to purchase, (c) common law fraud, and (d) a breach of the provisions of the
partnership agreements of such partnerships. The action, which was brought as a
derivative action and as a class action on behalf of all limited partners,
sought to enjoin the tender offers as well as monetary damages in an unspecified
amount.
See Item 3 of the Schedule 14D-9, which is incorporated herein by reference, for
additional information with respect to the above actions.
On March 15, 1996, counsel for the plaintiffs and defendants in the Wallace
Action and the R&S Partners Action agreed in principle to settle these actions,
which settlement has subsequently received final court approval. In connection
with the settlement, MRC-85 agreed to take such actions as are reasonably
necessary and consistent with its fiduciary duties to procure offers for the
purchase of the Partnership's and GHI's assets which maximize the value of the
limited partner assignee units. MRC-85 further agreed to deal fairly and in
good faith with persons expressing an interest in making a bona fide offer to
purchase such assets and, subject to its fiduciary duty, provide such bona fide
offers with access to the Partnership's and GHI's books and records for due
diligence purposes. If MRC-85 determines that an offer to purchase its assets
is acceptable, MRC-85 will prepare a plan of liquidation, and subject to the
terms of the Partnership Agreement, submit such plan to the Partnership's
partners for approval. Also in connection with the settlement, the plaintiffs
will release all claims they may have arising out of the tender offers. The
Partnership is currently in the process of retaining an investment advisor to
assist in the sale of the assets. It is expected that the Partnership will
begin marketing its properties pursuant to the terms of the settlement during
the second half of 1996.
