                          EIGHT LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                        Notes to Financial Statements
                                 (Unaudited)


1. General

      The accompanying financial statements,  footnotes and discussion should be
   read in conjunction with the financial  statements and footnotes contained in
   the Partnership's Annual Report for the year ended September 30, 1996. In the
   opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements,  which have not
   been audited, reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the results
   for the interim period.  All of the accounting  adjustments  reflected in the
   accompanying interim financial statements are of a normal recurring nature.

      The  accompanying  financial  statements have been prepared on the accrual
   basis  of  accounting  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted   accounting
   principles  which requires  management to make estimates and assumptions that
   affect the reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities  and  disclosures  of
   contingent assets and liabilities as of March 31, 1997 and September 30, 1996
   and revenues and expenses for the three- and  six-month  periods  ended March
   31,  1997 and 1996.  Actual  results  could  differ  from the  estimates  and
   assumptions used.

2. Foreclosure of Operating Investment Property

      The  Partnership  acquired a 100%  interest in the  Marriott  Suites Hotel
   located  in  Newport  Beach,   California   from  the  Marriott   Corporation
   ("Marriott")  on August 10, 1988. The Hotel  consists of 254 two-room  suites
   encompassing  201,606 square feet located on approximately 4.8 acres of land.
   The Hotel was managed for the Partnership by Marriott and its affiliates (the
   "Manager"),  as described  below.  The  Partnership  purchased  the operating
   investment property for approximately  $39,946,000,  including an acquisition
   fee paid by Marriott to the Adviser of $580,000  and a $325,000  guaranty fee
   paid to Marriott.  The Hotel was acquired  subject to a first  mortgage  loan
   with  an  initial  principal  balance  of  $29,400,000.   In  addition,   the
   Partnership  provided an initial  working  capital  reserve of  approximately
   $554,000 to the Manager for Hotel operations.

     From  the  time  of its  acquisition,  the  Hotel  experienced  substantial
   recurring losses after debt service.  Through September 30, 1991, the Hotel's
   cash flow  deficits  were  funded by  Marriott  under the terms of a guaranty
   agreement.  After Marriott had fulfilled its obligation to fund deficits, the
   Partnership  and the lender  reached an  agreement,  which was  finalized  in
   fiscal 1993, to modify the terms of the first  mortgage  loan.  During fiscal
   1995, the Partnership reached the limit on the debt service deferrals imposed
   by the 1993 loan  modification  agreement.  On February 19,  1996,  the first
   mortgage  loan  secured  by the  Newport  Beach  Marriott  Suites  Hotel  was
   purchased by a new lender, and the Partnership  subsequently  received formal
   notice  of  default  from  this new  lender.  Subsequently,  the  Partnership
   received a notice of a  foreclosure  sale  scheduled  for August 7, 1996,  at
   which time title to the Newport Beach Marriott  Suites Hotel was  transferred
   to the mortgage  lender.  The transfer of the Hotel's title to the lender was
   accounted for as a troubled debt  restructuring  in accordance with Statement
   of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  15,  "Accounting  by  Debtors  and
   Creditors for Troubled Debt  Restructurings."  As a result,  the  Partnership
   recorded  an  extraordinary  gain  from  settlement  of  debt  obligation  of
   $23,459,000  and a loss on transfer of assets at  foreclosure  of $137,000 in
   the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996. The  extraordinary  gain resulted from the
   fact that the  balance of the  mortgage  loan and  related  accrued  interest
   exceeded the estimated  fair market value of the Hotel  investment  and other
   assets transferred to the lender at the time of the foreclosure.  The loss on
   transfer of assets  resulted from the fact that the net carrying value of the
   Hotel exceeded its estimated fair value at the time of the foreclosure.

      The  operating  expenses  of the Hotel noted  above  included  significant
   transactions  with the Manager.  All Hotel  employees  were  employees of the
   Manager and the related payroll costs were allocated to the Hotel  operations
   by the  Manager.  A majority of the supplies  and food  purchased  during the
   prior period were  purchased  from an affiliate of the Manager.  In addition,
   the Manager also  allocates  employee  benefit costs,  advertising  costs and
   management training costs to the Hotel.

3. Investments in Joint Venture Partnerships

     As of September 30, 1996,  the  Partnership  had  investments in four joint
   ventures which owned five operating properties as more fully described in the
   Partnership's Annual Report. On March 17, 1997,  Spinnaker Bay Associates,  a
   joint  venture  comprised  of two  operating  properties,  Spinnaker  Landing
   Apartments and Bay Club Apartments,  located in Des Moines, Washington,  sold
   both of its operating  investment  properties to an unrelated third party for
   $5.5  million.  The gross sales price for the two  apartment  properties  was
   below the  outstanding  balance of Spinnaker Bay  Associate's  first mortgage
   debt. However,  under the terms of a Property  Disposition  Agreement between
   the mortgage  lender and the joint venture,  the  Partnership was eligible to
   receive  a  payment  of  $100,000  from the net sale  proceeds.  The  venture
   recognized  a gain on the sale of  $505,000  for the amount by which the sale
   price, net of certain closing costs,  exceeded the net carrying values of the
   operating investment properties. The venture also recognized an extraordinary
   gain from  forgiveness of  indebtedness of $1,422,000  which  represented the
   difference between the outstanding obligations and the amount accepted by the
   lender  in full  satisfaction  of the first  mortgage  loans  secured  by the
   operating investment  properties.  The joint ventures are accounted for under
   the equity  method in the  Partnership's  financial  statements  because  the
   Partnership  does not have a voting control  interest in the ventures.  Under
   the  equity  method,  the  investment  in a joint  venture is carried at cost
   adjusted for the Partnership's  share of the venture's  earnings,  losses and
   distributions.

      Summarized  operations of the joint  ventures for the three and six months
   ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 are as follows:

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
               OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

     As previously reported,  the loans secured by the Spinnaker Landing and Bay
   Club Apartments were scheduled to mature in December 1996. Due to semi-annual
   real estate tax payments  made during the third  quarter of fiscal  1996,  as
   well as the payment of ongoing  operating  expenses,  the  monthly  cash flow
   available  from the  properties  was  insufficient  to pay the  minimum  debt
   service  required in May 1996. A notice of default was issued by the mortgage
   lender in the fourth  quarter of fiscal 1996.  The  estimated  combined  fair
   value of the  properties,  while higher than their net carrying  values,  was
   significantly less than this debt balance at the time of the loan default. In
   light  of these  circumstances,  effective  in  September  1996  the  venture
   partners entered into a Property Disposition Agreement with the lender. Under
   the terms of the  agreement,  the lender agreed to delay  foreclosure  of the
   properties in order to provide the venture with an  opportunity to complete a
   sale. In December 1996,  the Spinnaker Bay joint venture  executed a purchase
   and sale agreement  with an unrelated  third party to sell the properties for
   an amount less than the total debt obligation.  Nonetheless,  the Partnership
   was eligible to receive a nominal  payment out of the net sale proceeds under
   the terms of the  Property  Disposition  Agreement  if this  transaction  was
   successfully  consummated.  On March 17, 1997,  Spinnaker Bay Associates sold
   its operating investment properties, located in Des Moines, Washington, to an
   unrelated  third party for $5.5 million.  The sale  generated net proceeds of
   $100,000 to the  Partnership  in  accordance  with the  Property  Disposition
   Agreement.  The joint venture realized a gain on the sale of $505,000 for the
   amount by which the sale price,  net of certain  closing costs,  exceeded the
   net  carrying  values  of the  operating  investment  properties.  After  the
   application  of the net proceeds to the mortgage  balance,  the joint venture
   realized  an   extraordinary   gain  from   forgiveness  of  indebtedness  of
   $1,422,000. The Partnership's share of the gain on the sale and the gain from
   the debt forgiveness was $477,000 and $1,344,000, respectively.

     Together with the prior foreclosure losses of the Newport Beach and Atlanta
   Marriott Suites Hotels, which represented a combined 63% of the Partnership's
   original investment portfolio, the sale of the Spinnaker Landing and Bay Club
   Apartments  for  an  amount  which  yielded  only  a  nominal  return  of the
   Partnership's  investment in those properties means that the Partnership will
   be  unable  to  return  any  significant  portion  of  the  original  capital
   contributed  by the  Limited  Partners.  The amount of capital  which will be
   returned will depend upon the proceeds  recovered from the final  liquidation
   of the remaining  investments.  The amount of such  proceeds will  ultimately
   depend upon the value of the underlying  investment properties at the time of
   their  final  disposition,  which,  for the most part,  cannot  presently  be
   determined.  Nonetheless,  at the present time the Partnership's  interest in
   The  Meadows  in  the  Park  Apartments  is  the  only  investment  with  any
   significant  value to the Partnership  based on the estimated  current market
   values of the underlying properties.  The status of the remaining investments
   is discussed in more detail below.

     During  the first  quarter of fiscal  1997,  the  Partnership's  co-venture
   partner in the Maplewood  joint venture made a request for the Partnership to
   fund 70% of the $95,000  principal  payment on the  venture's  mortgage  loan
   which was due on December 2, 1996. Based on its current analysis,  management
   concluded  that  it  would  not be in the  Partnership's  best  interests  to
   continue to fund its share of the  Maplewood  venture's  cash flow  deficits.
   Accordingly,  management informed the co-venture partner that the Partnership
   would not be making the requested capital contribution.  In January 1997, the
   co-venture  partner  contributed  100% of the  funds  required  to  make  the
   aforementioned  principal payment. The mortgage debt secured by the Maplewood
   Park Apartments was provided with tax-exempt  revenue bonds issued by a local
   housing authority. The bonds are secured by a standby letter of credit issued
   to the joint venture by a bank.  The letter of credit,  which is scheduled to
   expire in  October  1998,  is secured by a first  mortgage  on the  venture's
   operating  property.  The revenue bonds bear interest at a floating rate that
   is determined daily by a remarketing  agent based on comparable  market rates
   for similar tax-exempt obligations.  In addition, the venture is obligated to
   pay a letter of credit fee, a  remarketing  fee and a housing  authority  fee
   under the terms of the financing  agreement.  The operating property produces
   excess net cash flow after the debt  service and  related  fees due under the
   terms  of the  bond  financing  arrangement  because  of the  low  tax-exempt
   interest  rate  paid on the  bonds.  However,  as part of the  joint  venture
   agreement the  Partnership's  co-venture  partner  receives a guaranteed cash
   distribution  on a monthly  basis to the extent that the interest cost of the
   venture's  debt is less than  8.25% per  annum.  Conversely,  the  co-venture
   partner is  obligated to  contribute  funds to the venture to the extent that
   the interest cost exceeds 8.25%. Over the past three years, the interest rate
   differential distributions to the co-venturer under the foregoing arrangement
   have averaged  $189,000 per year. As of March 31, 1997, the  Partnership  and
   the  co-venturer  were not in agreement  regarding the  cumulative  cash flow
   distributed to the  co-venturer  pursuant to this interest rate  differential
   calculation.  The  Partnership  believes that the co-venturer has received an
   additional  $79,000  over the amount it is entitled to under the terms of the
   joint venture agreement through December 31, 1996. The ultimate resolution of
   this dispute cannot be determined at the present time.

     Since all of the economic benefits of the Maplewood joint venture currently
   accrue  to  the  co-venture   partner  in  the  form  of  the  interest  rate
   differential  payments described above,  management  concluded that continued
   funding of the  venture's  annual  cash flow  deficits  would not be prudent.
   Subsequently,  management  made a proposal to the co-venture  partner to sell
   the  Partnership's  interest in the joint venture,  but no agreement has been
   reached  to  date.  The  current  estimated  market  value  of the  Maplewood
   property,  while higher than the property's carrying value, may be at or only
   slightly above the amount of the  outstanding  principal  balance owed on the
   first  mortgage loan as of March 31, 1997.  As a result,  it is unlikely that
   the letter of credit  underlying  the mortgage  loan will be renewed upon its
   expiration  in October  1998.  The net  carrying  value of the  Partnership's
   investment in the Maplewood  joint venture was $373,000 as of March 31, 1997.
   Management believes that this net carrying value may be recoverable if a sale
   agreement can be reached with the co-venture  partner.  If,  however,  a sale
   agreement or letter of credit  extension cannot be achieved and a foreclosure
   of the operating  property  results,  the Partnership  would recognize a loss
   equal to its  remaining  investment  balance.  The  ultimate  outcome of this
   situation cannot be determined at the present time.

     The Norman Crossing Shopping Center,  which comprises 52,086 square feet of
   leasable space located in Charlotte,  North  Carolina,  was 100% leased as of
   March 31,  1997.  In  October  1993,  the sole  anchor  tenant of the  Norman
   Crossing  Shopping Center vacated the center to relocate its operations.  The
   tenant,  which had occupied 26,752 square feet of the property's net leasable
   area, is a national credit grocery store chain which is still obligated under
   the terms of its lease which runs through the year 2007.  To date,  all rents
   due from this tenant have been  collected.  During the last quarter of fiscal
   1995, the former anchor tenant reached an agreement to sub-lease its space to
   a new tenant.  This new sublease tenant which opened for business in February
   1996,  is a health club  operator  which  occupies  20,552 square feet of the
   former  anchor's space and plans to sublease the remaining 6,200 square feet.
   Despite being 100% leased,  the Norman  Crossing  property does not currently
   generate  positive  cash flow after debt  service and leasing  expenses.  The
   Partnership  has funded the operating  deficits of the Norman  Crossing joint
   venture to date. However,  given the Partnership's limited capital resources,
   the Partnership  cannot fund such deficits  indefinitely.  Consequently,  the
   Partnership  may look to sell the  operating  property or its interest in the
   joint  venture in the near future.  At the present  time,  market  values for
   retail shopping  centers in certain  markets are being adversely  impacted by
   the effects of  overbuilding  and  consolidations  among retailers which have
   resulted in an oversupply  of space and by the generally  flat rate of growth
   in retail  sales.  Based on the  current  estimated  fair value of the Norman
   Crossing  Shopping Center, a sale under the existing market  conditions would
   not result in any  significant  proceeds above the mortgage loan balance.  In
   light  of  the  above  circumstances  and a  resulting  reassessment  of  the
   Partnership's  likely  remaining  holding  period  for  the  Norman  Crossing
   investment,  the  Partnership  recorded an allowance for possible  investment
   loss of $588,000 in fiscal 1996 to write down the net  carrying  value of the
   equity interest to management's estimate of its current net realizable value.

     As stated above,  the Meadows in the Park Apartments is the only one of the
   Partnership's  investments  which would appear to have any significant  value
   above the related mortgage loan obligations based on current estimated market
   values.  During the quarter  ended March 31, 1997,  the  Partnership  and its
   co-venture   partner  received  interest from  some  prospective   purchasers
   regarding a possible sale of The Meadows in the Park  Apartments.  Management
   is currently  reviewing the potential for selling the property.  In addition,
   as  discussed  further  above,  the  Partnership  is  focusing  on  potential
   disposition  strategies for its Maplewood and Norman Crossing  investments as
   well. Although no assurances can be given, it is currently  contemplated that
   the  dispositions  of  the  Partnership's   remaining  investments  could  be
   completed within the next two years.

     At March 31, 1997, the Partnership had available cash and cash  equivalents
   of $649,000.  Such cash and cash  equivalents  will be utilized as needed for
   Partnership  requirements  such as the payment of operating  expenses and the
   funding of joint venture capital  improvements or operating deficits,  to the
   extent   economically   justified.   The  source  of  future   liquidity  and
   distributions  to the partners is expected to be through cash  generated from
   operations of the Partnership's  income-producing  investment  properties and
   proceeds  received from the sale or  refinancing of such  properties.  If the
   Partnership  is able to dispose of its remaining  investments  and complete a
   liquidation  within the next two  years,  as  discussed  further  above,  the
   Partnership should have sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations.

Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 1997
- ---------------------------------

     The  Partnership  recognized  net income of $1,555,000 for the three months
   ended March  31,1997,  as  compared  to a net loss of  $737,000  for the same
   period in the prior year. The primary reason for this favorable change in net
   operating results is the sale of the operating investment properties owned by
   Spinnaker Bay Associates on March 17, 1997. As discussed  further above,  the
   sale transaction  resulted in a gain on sale and an  extraordinary  gain from
   forgiveness of indebtedness,  the  Partnership's  shares of which amounted to
   $477,000 and $1,344,000,  respectively. The Partnership also had decreases in
   operating  loss of $413,000 and in its share of ventures'  losses of $58,000.
   The decrease in operating  loss can be attributed to the  foreclosure  of the
   Newport  Beach  Marriott  Suites Hotel on August 7, 1996.  The Hotel had been
   generating   sizable   operating  losses  prior  to  its   foreclosure.   The
   Partnership's  share of ventures'  losses  decreased mainly as a result of an
   increase  in other  income from the  Maplewood  joint  venture,  a decline in
   interest  expense at the Meadows joint venture and small decreases in repairs
   and maintenance  expenses at the Maplewood Apartments and the Norman Crossing
   Shopping Center. In addition,  the prior period results include an additional
   one-half  month of operating  losses of the  Spinnaker Bay joint venture as a
   result of the March 17, 1997 sale transaction.

Six Months Ended March 31, 1997
- -------------------------------

     The  Partnership  recognized  net income of  $1,341,000  for the six months
   ended March  31,1997,  as compared to a net loss of  $1,918,000  for the same
   period in the prior year. The primary reason for this favorable change in net
   operating results is the gains totalling  $1,821,000 which were realized from
   the sale of the  Spinnaker  Landing  and Bay Club  apartment  properties,  as
   discussed further above. The Partnership also had decreases in operating loss
   of $1,397,000 and in its share of ventures'  losses of $41,000.  The decrease
   in operating  loss can be attributed to the  foreclosure of the Newport Beach
   Marriott  Suites  Hotel on August  7,  1996.  The  Hotel had been  generating
   sizable operating losses prior to its foreclosure. The Partnership's share of
   ventures'  losses  decreased  mainly  as a result  of an  increase  in rental
   revenues at The Meadows  joint  venture and due to  increases in other income
   and decreases in repairs and maintenance expenses at the Maplewood Apartments
   and the Norman  Crossing  Shopping  Center.  In  addition,  the prior  period
   results  include an  additional  one-half  month of  operating  losses of the
   Spinnaker  Bay  joint  venture  as a  result  of  the  March  17,  1997  sale
   transaction.

                                   PART II
                              Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings

     As previously  disclosed,  the Partnership's General Partners were named as
defendants  in  a  class  action  lawsuit   against   PaineWebber   Incorporated
("PaineWebber") and a number of its affiliates relating to PaineWebber's sale of
70 direct  investment  offerings,  including  the  offering of  interests in the
various limited partnership investments and REIT stocks, including those offered
by the  Partnership.  In  January  1996,  PaineWebber  signed  a  memorandum  of
understanding  with the plaintiffs in the class action outlining the terms under
which the parties have agreed to settle the case. Pursuant to that memorandum of
understanding,  PaineWebber  irrevocably  deposited  $125 million into an escrow
fund under the  supervision of the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York to be used to resolve the  litigation in accordance  with a
definitive  settlement  agreement  and a plan of  allocation.  On July 17, 1996,
PaineWebber and the class plaintiffs submitted a definitive settlement agreement
which  provides for the  complete  resolution  of the class  action  litigation,
including  releases in favor of the  Partnership and PWPI, and the allocation of
the $125 million settlement fund among investors in the various partnerships and
REITs at issue in the case. As part of the settlement,  PaineWebber  also agreed
to provide class members with certain financial  guarantees  relating to some of
the  partnerships  and REITs.  The details of the  settlement are described in a
notice mailed  directly to class members at the direction of the court.  A final
hearing on the fairness of the proposed  settlement  was held in December  1996,
and in March 1997 the court announced its final approval of the  settlement.  As
part  of  the  settlement   agreement,   PaineWebber  has  agreed  not  to  seek
indemnification  from the related partnerships and real estate investment trusts
at issue in the litigation  (including the  Partnership) for any amounts that it
is  required  to pay  under  the  settlement.  In  addition,  in  December  1996
PaineWebber agreed to settle the Abbate and Bandrowski actions discussed further
in the Annual Report. Final releases and dismissals with regard to these actions
were  received  subsequent  to the quarter  ended March 31,  1997.  Based on the
settlement   agreements   discussed   above  covering  all  of  the  outstanding
unitholder litigation,  management does not expect that the resolution of these
matters will have a material impact on the Partnership's  financial  statements,
taken as a whole.
