                                 MARCH 31, 1999
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.      BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

        The accompanying unaudited combined financial statements have been
        prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
        interim financial information, with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
        Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of the General Partner, all
        adjustments necessary for fair presentation of the results of operations
        for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, have been made to
        the financial information furnished herein. For further information
        refer to the combined financial statements and footnotes thereto
        included in the Partnerships' annual report on Form 10-K for the year
        ended December 31, 1998.

        On May 10, 1996, the Operating Partnership and affiliated
        sub-partnerships filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the federal
        bankruptcy laws in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern
        District of Illinois. This filing excludes Partnership I and Partnership
        II. Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, the deeds to the remaining
        hotels were transferred to the senior lender on September 26, 1996 in
        consideration for the cancellation of the senior indebtedness (the
        "Transfer"). As a result of the Transfer, the Partnerships no longer
        have a source of funds.

        In the short term, the Partnerships will continue to maintain a cash
        reserve for the payment of the remaining Partnerships' obligations and
        contingent liabilities. In the long term, the Partnerships will wind-up
        their affairs and will distribute any remaining Partnerships' funds to
        their Limited Partners after paying all Partnerships' expenses and the
        Partnerships will be dissolved at that time. It is anticipated that the
        Partnerships will be dissolved sometime in 1999 or early 2000.
        Activities related to dissolution of the Partnerships represent the only
        business segment.

2.      RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

        Under the terms of the various Partnership Agreements, the Managing
        General Partner and its affiliates are to provide management, financing
        and other services to Portfolio I, Portfolio II and the Operating
        Partnership in return for certain fees as follows:

                   NOTES TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 MARCH 31, 1999
                                   (UNAUDITED)


            (1) The Partnership Agreements specify the dollar amount of this
                fee. The various Partnerships are obligated to incur in the
                aggregate, $50,000 per year of salary fees in the future.

            (2) These fees represent reimbursement for partnership accounting,
                printing, legal department, data processing and travel and
                communication expenses incurred by affiliates for the Managing
                General Partner for operation of the Partnerships.

3.        LITIGATION

          Certain affiliates of the Partnerships, including the Managing General
          Partner and certain officers and directors of such affiliates are
          parties to certain pending legal proceedings as described in Form 10-K
          for the year ended December 31, 1998 filed as of March 31, 1999 and
          certain other proceedings. The adverse outcome of any one or more
          legal proceedings against any one of the affiliates which provides
          financial support or services to the Partnerships could have a
          materially adverse effect on the present and future operations of the
          Partnerships. There can be no assurance as to the outcome of any of
          the legal proceedings.

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

The following discussion in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" contain certain forward-looking statements
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 which
reflect management's current views with respect to future events and financial
performance. Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and
uncertainty.

On October 28, 1985, VMS National Hotel Portfolio I and II (the Partnerships)
commenced a private offering of $97,350,000 ("Offering") in Limited Partnership
interests pursuant to their respective Private Placement Memorandums. A total of
649 units were offered and sold at $150,000 per unit. Subscribers for the Units
had the option to contribute partially in cash upon subscription with the
remaining purchase price payable in annual installments over a five year period
or on a basis other than the foregoing option, which was acceptable to the
Managing General Partner in its sole discretion. The Limited Partner selecting
to pay in the remaining purchase price of their units over a five year period
executed and delivered to the Partnerships full recourse notes payable. VMS
National Hotel Partners (the Operating Partnership), with proceeds of the
Offering and Debt borrowing, purchased 24 hotels from Holiday Inns, Inc.

On May 10, 1996, the Operating Partnership and affiliated sub-partnerships filed
for relief under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy laws in the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois. This filing excluded
Partnership I and Partnership II. Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, the
deeds to the remaining hotels were transferred to the senior lender on September
26, 1996 in consideration for the cancellation of the related indebtedness (the
"Transfer").

In the short term, the Partnerships will continue to maintain a cash reserve for
the payment of the remaining Partnerships' obligations and contingent
liabilities. In the long term, the Partnerships will wind-up their affairs and
will distribute any remaining Partnerships' funds to their Limited Partners
after paying all Partnerships' expenses and the Partnerships will be dissolved
at that time. It is anticipated that the Partnerships will be dissolved sometime
in 1999 or early 2000.

In the year 2000, many existing computer programs that use only two digits
(rather than four) to identify a year in the date field could fail or create
erroneous results if not corrected. This computer program flaw is expected to
affect virtually all companies and organizations. The Partnerships believe that
with modifications to existing software and conversions to new software, the
Year 2000 issue will not pose significant operational problems for its computer
systems. There is no guarantee that the systems of other companies on which the
Partnerships' systems rely will be timely converted and would not have an
adverse effect on the Partnerships' systems.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Partnership revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1999 decreased by
$3,402, or 62.5%, to $2,043 from the same period in 1998 due to a decrease in
interest income attributed to the reduction in the Partnership's cash and cash
equivalents.

                           VMS NATIONAL HOTEL PARTNERS

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

Partnership expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1999 decreased by
$8,830, or 10.4%, to $75,799 from the same period in 1998 due to a decrease in
professional, consulting and other fees due to the reduction in the
Partnerships' activities as a result of the Transfer.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As a result of the Transfer in 1996, the Partnerships no longer have a source of
funds. A cash reserve is being maintained for payment of the Partnerships'
obligations and contingencies.

As shown on the Combined Statements of Cash Flows, cash used in operating
activities and cash and cash equivalents decreased $77,264 and $75,024 for the
three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, primarily due to net
loss from Partnership operations.

In the short term, the Partnerships will continue to maintain a cash reserve for
the payment of the remaining Partnerships' obligations and contingent
liabilities. In the long term, the Partnerships will wind-up their affairs and
will distribute any remaining Partnership' funds to their Limited Partners after
paying all Partnerships' expenses and the Partnerships will be dissolved at that
time. It is anticipated that the Partnerships will be dissolved sometime in 1999
or early 2000.
