                            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 December 31, 1996 and September 30,
   1996 and revenues and expenses for the three-month periods ended December 31,
   1996 and 1995. Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions
   used.

2. 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.

      Since  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, as discussed further below. 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. The  Partnership  was in default
   of the modified  terms of the first  mortgage loan  agreement  secured by the
   Newport Beach Marriott  Suites Hotel as of September 30, 1995.  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
   approximately  $23,459,000,  partially offset by a loss on transfer of assets
   at foreclosure of approximately  $137,000.  The extraordinary gain arises due
   to 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  results  from the fact that the net  carrying
   value of the  Hotel  exceeded  its  estimated  fair  value at the time of the
   foreclosure.

      The Partnership elected early application of SFAS 121 effective for fiscal
   1995.  The effect of such  application  was the  recognition of an impairment
   loss on the  wholly-owned  Hotel property in fiscal 1995. The impairment loss
   resulted  because,  in  management's  judgment,  the  default  status  of the
   mortgage  loan secured by the  property,  combined with the lack of near-term
   prospects  for  sufficient  future  improvement  in market  conditions in the
   Orange County  market in which the property is located,  were not expected to
   enable the  Partnership  to recover the adjusted  cost basis of the property.
   The Partnership recognized an impairment loss of $6,369,000 to write down the
   operating  investment  property to its estimated fair value of $20,000,000 as
   of  September  30,  1995.  Fair  value  was  estimated  using an  independent
   appraisal  of  the  operating  property.   Such  appraisals  make  use  of  a
   combination of certain generally  accepted  valuation  techniques,  including
   direct capitalization, discounted cash flows and comparable sales analysis.

      The  guaranty  fee referred to above was paid in exchange for an agreement
   (the "Payment  Agreement") by Marriott to fund, for a four-year  period,  the
   amounts necessary in the event that revenues  generated by the Hotel were not
   sufficient  to pay: (1) debt service  payments on the  mortgage  loan;  (2) a
   cumulative  preferred  return  to  the  Partnership  equal  to  7.5%  of  the
   Partnership's Net Investment,  as defined (the "Preferred  Return");  and (3)
   operating  losses  incurred  by the  Hotel;  if any,  up to  $5,000,000.  The
   Partnership had no obligation to reimburse  Marriott for the first $1,500,000
   of funds so advanced.  The payment by Marriott  Corporation of the $1,500,000
   non-refundable  advance was  accounted for as a reduction to the basis of the
   operating investment property. Funds advanced in excess of $1,500,000 were in
   the form of  non-recourse  loans (the  "Loans").  The Loans  were  payable to
   Marriott,  with  interest on the  amounts  advanced  calculated  at a monthly
   compounded rate of 10% per annum,  only under certain  circumstances,  out of
   excess  proceeds  generated by any sale or refinancing  of the Hotel.  At the
   date of foreclosure, August 7, 1996, the loan payable to Marriott Corporation
   totalled  $6,875,000,  including accrued interest.  Since the loans were only
   payable out of sale or  refinancing  proceeds,  the  foreclosure of the Hotel
   resulted in the  cancellation of this debt  obligation,  which is included in
   the extraordinary gain discussed further above.

      The following is a summary of Hotel  revenues and  operating  expenses for
   the three months ended December 31, 1995 (in thousands):

                                              1995

                                             ======


      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

      The  Partnership  has  investments  in four joint  ventures which own five
   operating  properties  as more fully  described in the  Partnership's  Annual
   Report.  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.

4. Related Party Transactions

   Included  in general  and  administrative  expenses  for three  months  ended
   December 31, 1996 and 1995 is $22,000 and $23,000, respectively, representing
   reimbursements  to an affiliate of the Managing General Partner for providing
   certain  financial,  accounting  and investor  communication  services to the
   Partnership.

   Also  included in general and  administrative  expenses  for the three months
   ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 is $700 and $200, respectively, of fees paid
   to  an  affiliate,  Mitchell  Hutchins  Institutional  Investors,  Inc.,  for
   managing the Partnership's cash assets.

5. Contingencies

    As  discussed  in more  detail  in the  Annual  Report  for the  year  ended
    September 30, 1996, the Partnership is involved in certain legal actions. At
    the present time, the Managing  General  Partner is unable to determine what
    impact,   if  any,  the   resolution  of  these  matters  may  have  on  the
    Partnership's financial statements, taken as a whole.

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


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

      The  Partnership  originally  owned fee simple  interests  in two Marriott
hotels,  the Newport Beach Marriott  Suites Hotel, a 254-suite  hotel located in
Newport  Beach,  California,  and the  Marriott  Suites -  Perimeter  Center,  a
224-suite  hotel  located in  Atlanta,  Georgia.  As  previously  reported,  the
Partnership  had been in default  under the modified  terms of the mortgage loan
secured by the Newport Beach Marriott Suites Hotel since March 1995. 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.  Despite an improvement in the Hotel's  operating  results over
the last year, the estimated value of the Hotel property remained  substantially
less  than  the  obligation  to  the  mortgage  lender.  Given  the  significant
deficiency  which existed  between the estimated fair value of the Hotel and the
outstanding debt obligation payable to the mortgage lender,  management believed
that it would not be prudent to use any of the  Partnership's  capital resources
to cure the default or contest the foreclosure without substantial modifications
to the loan terms which would afford the  Partnership the opportunity to recover
such  additional  investments  plus a portion of its original  investment in the
Hotel.   The  new  mortgage  lender  was  not  willing  to  grant  the  required
concessions.

     Due to the  foreclosure  losses of the Newport  Beach and Atlanta  Marriott
Suites Hotels,  which represented a combined 63% of the  Partnership's  original
investment  portfolio,  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.

       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 fiscal quarter, 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.
As of December 31, 1996,  the combined  debt  obligation  to the first  mortgage
holder for both  properties  totalled  $6,298,000.  The estimated  combined fair
value of the  properties,  while  higher  than  their net  carrying  values,  is
significantly  less  than this debt  balance.  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.  Any sale of the properties is
expected to be for an amount  significantly  below the outstanding debt balance.
However,  under the terms of the agreement with the lender,  the Partnership and
the co-venture  partner can qualify to receive a nominal  payment from the sales
proceeds if a sale is completed by the end of the second  quarter of fiscal 1997
and certain other  conditions are met. As part of the agreement,  a receiver was
appointed for the property and will be  responsible  for the collection of rents
and the payment of operating expenses through the end of the forbearance period.

      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. If the transaction were to close and
the  conditions  referred  to above  were  met,  the  Partnership  could  end up
receiving a nominal amount from the proceeds of the sale  transaction.  However,
the sale remains  contingent upon the buyer's due diligence and the receipt of a
financing commitment.  Accordingly, there are no assurances that the transaction
will be consummated. The Partnership has a large negative carrying value for its
investment  in Spinnaker  Bay  Associates  as of December 31, 1996 because prior
year equity method  losses and  distributions  have  exceeded the  Partnership's
investments in the venture.  Consequently, the Partnership will recognize a gain
upon either the sale or the foreclosure of the operating investment properties.

       During the first quarter of fiscal 1996, the  Partnership  funded $63,000
to the Maplewood  joint venture to cover its share of the venture's  annual debt
service  principal  payment.  Similar  advances had been made in each of the two
preceding  years.  During the first  quarter of fiscal 1997,  the  Partnership's
co-venture  partner made another  request for the Partnership to fund 70% of the
$95,000  principal  payment due on the  venture's  mortgage  loan on December 2,
1996. Based on its current analysis,  management has 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. Such rates generally
fluctuated between 3.5% and 4.5% per annum during fiscal 1996. 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 December 31, 1996, 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 December
1996.  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 $428,000 as of December 31, 1996. 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.

       In October 1993, the sole anchor tenant of the Norman  Crossing  Shopping
Center vacated the center to relocate its operations. The tenant, which 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.  Nonetheless,  the anchor tenant vacancy  resulted in several tenants
receiving rental  abatements during fiscal 1995 and has had an adverse effect on
the ability to lease other vacant shop space.  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 is a health club operator  which occupies
20,552 square feet of the former  anchor's space and will sublease the remaining
6,200  square  feet.  As a result of the new  health  club  tenant  opening  for
business in February  1996, the rental  abatements  granted to the other tenants
were terminated. However, the long-term impact of this subleasing arrangement on
the operations of the property remains uncertain at this time. The joint venture
may have to continue to make tenant improvements and grant rental concessions in
order to maintain a high occupancy level.  Funding for such improvements,  along
with  any  operating  cash  flow  deficits   incurred   during  this  period  of
re-stabilization  for the shopping  center,  would be provided  primarily by the
Partnership.  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.  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 net realizable value as of September 30, 1996.

      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.
Assuming that the overall market for multi-family  apartment  properties remains
strong  in the near  term,  the  Meadows  joint  venture  may  have a  favorable
opportunity  to sell the operating  investment  property  during fiscal 1997. In
light of the expected fiscal 1997 disposition of the Partnership's  interests in
the Spinnaker Landing and Bay Club Apartments,  the potential disposition of the
Maplewood  joint venture  investment,  and the possible  near-term  sales of the
Norman  Crossing  Shopping  Center and the Meadows on the Lake  Apartments,  the
Partnership could be positioned for a possible  liquidation  within the next two
years.  However,  there are no assurances that the  Partnership  will be able to
dispose of its remaining investments within this time frame.

      At  December  31,  1996,  the  Partnership  had  available  cash  and cash
equivalents  of  $620,000.  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.  Such sources
of liquidity are expected to be sufficient to meet the Partnership's  needs only
on a short-term  basis.  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 December 31, 1996
- ------------------------------------

      The  Partnership  recognized  a net loss of $214,000  for the three months
ended  December 31, 1996,  as compared to a net loss of $1,181,000  for the same
period in the prior year.  The primary reason for this decrease in net loss is a
decrease in the  Partnership's  operating  loss of  $984,000.  This  decrease in
operating loss is  attributable 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 decrease in operating loss was partially offset by a slight increase in
the  Partnership's  share of ventures'  losses of $17,000.  This increase is due
largely to an increase in the rate of the  amortization of certain closing costs
incurred  in  connection  with the  Partnership's  original  investments  in the
ventures,  resulting from  accelerating the remaining  holding period over which
the costs are  expensed.  The combined net  operating  results of the four joint
ventures  improved by $58,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1996, when
compared  to the same  period in the prior  year,  mainly due to an  increase in
rental  revenues of $25,000 and a decrease in total expenses of $36,000.  Rental
revenues increased at all of the multi-family  properties,  most signficantly at
The Meadows in the Park  Apartments  where income improved by 14% over the first
quarter of fiscal 1996.  The decrease in combined  expenses was mainlly due to a
reduction  in repairs  and  maintenance  costs at the  Maplewood  venture  and a
