Item 1 Business
- ----------------
General
- -------
VMS National Hotel Portfolio I ("Partnership I") and VMS National Hotel
Portfolio II ("Partnership II") are limited partnerships formed November 1, 1985
under the Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the state of Illinois.
Collectively, Partnership I and Partnership II are referred to as the
"Partnerships".
The Partnerships were formed to purchase a combined 99.9% interest in VMS
National Hotel Partners (the "Operating Partnership"), an Illinois general
Partnership formed in October, 1985. The term of the Operating Partnership
shall continue until December 31, 2035 unless sooner terminated; the term of
each of the Partnerships shall continue until December 31, 2035 unless sooner
terminated. The Operating Partnership was formed to acquire, own, operate and
dispose of up to 28 separate Holiday Inn hotels throughout the United States
(collectively, the "Hotels"). Only 24 hotels were purchased; no further
purchases of hotels will be made by the Operating Partnership. The Operating
Partnership conveyed ownership interest in certain of the Hotels to separate
partnerships so that each owns and operates a separate Hotel (collectively, the
"Sub-Partnerships") (as used herein, the term "Operating Partnership " includes
the Sub-Partnerships where the context requires). The general partners of the
Operating Partnership, in addition to the Partnerships, are VMS Realty
Investment, Ltd., an Illinois limited partnership and VMS Realty, Inc., an
Illinois corporation (all of the capital stock of which is owned by VMS Realty
Partners). The Operating Partnership is the Managing General Partner of each of
the Sub-Partnerships and has at least a 99% general partnership interest in each
such Sub-Partnerships. Various other affiliates of the Managing General Partner
are minority general partners of, and own the remaining general partnership
interests in each such Sub-Partnerships. During 1995, 1994, 1993 and 1992,
nine (one in 1995, two in 1994, two in 1993 and four in 1992) of the hotels were
sold. On May 10, 1996, the Operating Partnership and affiliated
sub-partnerships filed petitions 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"). For further
information relating to the Transfer and the financing arrangements of the
properties, see Notes 1 and 5 to the combined financial statements.
The Managing General Partner of each of the Partnerships is VMS Realty
Investment, Ltd., an Illinois limited partnership (the "Managing General
Partner"). Effective January 1, 1987 Morris/Stone Associates assigned its
ownership in the Partnerships to VMS Realty Investment, Ltd. Prudential-Bache
Properties, Inc. is also a general partner of Partnership I (the "Minority
General Partner").
As described in Section 4 of the Amended and Restated Agreement of General
Partnership of VMS National Hotel Partners, dated November 1, 1985 (the
"Operating Partnership Agreement"), the Operating Partnership was formed to
engage in no business other than the ownership, operation, lease and sale of all
the Hotels which it had already purchased. Section 15 of the Operating
Partnership Agreement provides that upon the sale of all or substantially all of
the assets of the Operating Partnership, the Operating Partnership will be
dissolved. Proceeds received by the Operating Partnership from the sale or
refinancing of any or all of the Hotels shall be distributed to Partnership I
and Partnership II in accordance with the participating interest of each such
- 3 -

partnership in the Operating Partnership; none of such proceeds will be
reinvested by the Operating Partnership in additional Hotels or other assets.
Collectively, the limited partnership interests of the Partnerships are referred
to as the "Units". Partnership I offered and sold 514 Units of limited
partnership interests at a price of $150,000 per limited partnership interest.
The 514 Units represent total equity of $77,100,000 sold through
Prudential-Bache Securities, Inc. In 1985, Partnership II offered and sold 135
Units of limited partnership interests at a price of $150,000 per limited
partnership interest. The 135 Units represent total equity of $20,250,000 sold
through VMS Securities, Inc., an affiliate of the Managing General Partner of
each of the Partnerships. Since the Operating Partnership had originally
intended to purchase 28 Hotels and only 24 Hotels were purchased, each Limited
Partner was rebated $15,000 per Unit, payable over 5 years, reflecting the
reduced total purchase price of all Hotels purchased by the Operating
Partnership.
Each of the Partnerships used the net offering proceeds of their respective
offerings to make required contributions to the Operating Partnership and pay
for offering, financing and acquisition costs and commissions and the Managing
General Partner's fees. The participation interests in the Operating
Partnership of Partnership I and Partnership II are approximately 79.12% and
20.78%, respectively.
The Partnerships have no employees at December 31, 1998.
Recent Developments - Partnerships
- ----------------------------------
During 1995, the Partnerships sold the Milwaukee West Quality Inn. As a result
of this sale, the Partnerships received $36,000 towards repayment of the Closing
Payment and $1,582,967 in principal was repaid on the senior debt. In
connection with this sale, the Partnerships recorded a provision for loss on
property and improvements of $886,000 in 1994 and a loss on sale of property and
improvements of $510,012 in 1995.
On May 10, 1996, the Operating Partnership and affiliated sub-partnerships filed
petitions 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.
As a result of the Transfer, the Operating Partnership recognized an
extraordinary gain of $214,542,473 for financial reporting purposes, which
represents the excess of the remaining senior debt, related accrued interest,
other operating liabilities and net cash received by the Operating Partnership
of $810,160 (in conjunction with this transfer, the Operating Partnership
received amounts in lieu of sales advisory fees totaling $1,025,000 from the
senior lender, net of $214,840 of operating cash transferred to the senior
lender), over the carrying value of the property and improvements and operating
assets transferred. In addition, the Operating Partnership recognized an
extraordinary gain of $47,013,597 from the cancellation of the junior mortgage
indebtedness pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization.
The combined financial statements of the Operating Partnership reflect the
financial reporting guidance prescribed by the AICPA Statement of Position 90-7,
"Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code",
which was adopted by the Operating Partnership for the period from May 10, 1996
to September 26, 1996.

Item 3 Legal Proceedings (continued)
- ------------------------
Items of income or expense that were realized or incurred as a result of the
reorganization are included in the Combined Statement of Operations as
reorganization items. During 1996 $410,000 was paid for professional,
consulting and other fees for the administration of Chapter 11 proceedings.
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.
Item 2 Properties
- -----------------
During 1995, 1994, 1993 and 1992, a total of nine of the original portfolio of
twenty-four hotels were sold and on May 10, 1996, the Operating Partnership and
affiliated sub-partnerships filed petitions 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. For further information related to
these sales and the Transfer, see Item 1. Business.
Item 3 Legal Proceedings
- ------------------------
As disclosed in the prior reports on Form 10-Q or Form 10-K ("Prior Public
Filings"), the Partnerships including the General Partners, VMS Realty Partners
L.P., certain officers and directors of VMS Realty Partners L.P., and certain
other affiliates of the Partnerships are parties to certain pending legal
proceedings (other than litigation matters covered by insurance policies). The
adverse outcome of certain of the legal proceedings disclosed in this Report and
the Prior Public Filings could have a materially adverse effect on the present
and future operations of the Partnerships.
Summarized below are certain developments in legal proceedings filed against VMS
Realty Partners, now known as VMS Realty Partners L.P. and its affiliates which
were disclosed in the Prior Public Filings. The inclusion in this Report of any
legal proceeding or developments in any legal proceeding is not intended as a
representation by the Partnership that such particular proceeding is material.
For those actions summarized below in which the plaintiffs are seeking damages,
the amount of damages being sought is an amount to be proven at trial unless
otherwise specified. There can be no assurance as to the outcome of any of the
legal proceedings summarized in this Report or in Prior Public Filings.
1. CIGNA Claims
- ---------------
One of the non-settling defendants, CIGNA Securities, Inc. ("CIGNA"), has
asserted claims against VMS Realty Partners, now known as VMS Realty Partners,
L.P. and its affiliated entities for contribution and indemnification in cases
in which CIGNA is a defendant.
CIGNA subsequently entered into a class-action settlement agreement with a class
of investors in the consolidated actions who had purchased their interest from
CIGNA. As previously reported, on May 19, 1993, CIGNA and VMS executed a mutual
release, effective when the CIGNA class-action settlement is effective. The
CIGNA class action settlement is now effective and, pursuant
- 5 -
<PAGE> 6
Item 3 Legal Proceedings (continued)
- ------------------------
to the terms of the mutual release, CIGNA settling parties released the VMS
released persons of and from all claims and liabilities relating to or arising
out of the released claims in the VMS class-action settlement, including
contractual claims for indemnification. In exchange, the VMS settling parties
released the CIGNA released persons of and from all claims and liabilities
relating to or arising out of the released claims in the VMS class-action
settlement, including contractual claims for indemnification. However, the
settling parties expressly reserved all common law and contractual claims for
contribution and/or indemnification arising out of or relating to claims brought
by investors who opted out of both the VMS and CIGNA settlements, except to the
extent such claims are barred by; (1) Section 4.02(A) of the VMS settlement
agreement and the court's July 15, 1991 order approving the VMS class-action
settlement agreement, or (2) Section 4.2(A) of the CIGNA class-action settlement
agreement and any court order approving the CIGNA settlement agreement. In
addition, now that the CIGNA class-action settlement agreement is effective,
CIGNA's claims pending in the consolidated actions have been dismissed, except
the Corkery action which is brought by opt-outs from both settlement agreements.

A. Other Litigation
- -------------------
In re: VMS National Hotel Partners et al., Debtor - NAHOP Partners, L.P. and
VMS National Hotel Partners, Plaintiffs, v. Associated Business Telephone
System, Corp., Defendant, Chapter 11 Case No. 96B12185, Adv. Pro. No. 98A00150
(U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division
(the "Bankruptcy Court")). This adversary proceeding was commenced in the
Bankruptcy Court on January 23, 1998. VMS National Hotel Partners and
Associated Business Telephone System, Corp. ("ABTS") were parties to a certain
Zero Plus Agreement pursuant to which ABTS was to provide VMS National Hotel
Partners with certain telephone services. VMS National Hotel Partners believes
that the Zero Plus Agreement was terminated, pursuant to the VMS National Hotel
Partners Bankruptcy Plan which was confirmed by the bankruptcy court on July 24,
1996, effective upon the transfer by VMS National Hotel Partners of its
properties to NAHOP Partners, L.P. on September 25, 1996. ABTS subsequently
brought an action in New Jersey State Court alleging that the Zero Plus
Agreement was improperly terminated. Although VMS National Hotel Partners is
not a party to ABTS' New Jersey state action, NAHOP Partners, L.P. has advised
VMS National Hotel Partners of the New Jersey action and stated that it was VMS
National Hotel Partners' responsibility to terminate the Zero Plus Agreement.
VMS National Hotel Partners has therefore brought this action for, among other
things, declaratory relief

Item 3 Legal Proceedings (continued)
- ------------------------
in the bankruptcy court. This action was settled and dismissed with no
financial impact to the Partnership.
The Partnerships are the subject of certain filed claims in the bankruptcy cases
totaling approximately $468,000. The Partnerships are contesting the validity
of the claims and are hopeful that the claims will be disallowed in their
entirety. Subject to certain provisions in the Plan of Reorganization, the
Partnerships obtained an indemnity to the extent of the actual amounts of such
claims. This indemnity does not include the costs associated with defending the
litigation. The outcome of this litigation is uncertain.
Item 4 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
- ----------------------------------------------------------
The Partnerships did not submit any matter to a vote of its holders of units
during the fourth quarter of 1998.

Item 5 Market for the Partnerships' Limited Partnership Interests and Security
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Holder Matters
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(a & b) Market Information and Holders
As of December 31, 1998, there were 893 Limited Partners in the
Partnerships. There is not a public market for, nor is it anticipated that
there will be a public market for Units. Upon request, the Managing
General Partner may attempt to assist a Limited Partner desiring to
transfer his Unit(s) and may utilize the services of broker-dealers in this
regard. The price to be paid for the units as well as the commission to be
received by any broker-dealer will be subject to negotiation by the Limited
Partner. The Managing General Partner will not redeem or repurchase the
Units, nor will it facilitate the matching of potential buyers and sellers
of Units.
Pursuant to the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreements, there are
restrictions on the ability of the Limited Partners to transfer their
Units. In all cases, the Managing General Partner must consent to any
transfer.
(c) Cash Distributions
No distributions were made in 1998, 1997 or 1996.

Item 7 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
of Operations
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cautionary Statements
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.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
On May 10, 1996, the Operating Partnership and affiliated sub-partnerships filed
petitions 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.
As shown on the Combined Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents
decreased $233,705 from December 31, 1997 to December 31, 1998 and decreased
$371,731 from December 31, 1996 to December 31, 1997. The decrease from 1997
to 1998 was due to cash used in operating activities of $233,705. Cash used in
operating activities in 1998 was attributed to the net loss in the amount of
$238,440 for the year and the increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses
in the amount of $4,735. The decrease from 1996 to 1997 was due to cash used in
operating activities of $371,731. Cash used in operating activities in 1997 was
attributed to the net loss in the amount of $345,219 for the year and the
decrease in accounts receivable in the amount of $29,664 and accounts payable
and accrued expenses in the amount of $56,176. Cash used in operating and
reorganization activities in 1996 was primarily attributable to the loss before
extraordinary item for the year and decrease in accrued interest payable, offset
by a decrease in prepaid expenses and an increase in accounts payable and
accrued expenses. The use of cash in investing activities in 1996 was primarily
attributable to capital improvements offset by net proceeds from the Transfer.
Cash provided by financing activities was primarily attributable partners'
capital contributions.
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.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
The Operating Partnership had previously owned and operated 24 Holiday Inn
Hotels in 11 states. However, there were no revenues or expenses for the hotel
operations and reorganization items in 1998 and 1997 due to the Transfer.
The Partnerships' combined revenues for the year ended December 31, 1998 had a
net increase of $64,019 or approximately 200% from the same period in 1997. The
increase is primarily due to the collection of $79,468 regarding legal
settlements as described in Note 9 to the Partnership's Combined Financial
Statements, and a decrease of $15,449 in interest on temporary investments
attributed to the reduction in the Partnership's cash and cash equivalents which
is the result of the Transfer.
- 10 -
<PAGE> 11
Item 7 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
of Operation (continued)
- ------------
The Partnerships' combined expenses for the year ended December 31, 1998 had a
decrease of $42,760 or 11.3% from the same period in 1997. The decrease is
primarily due to a decrease in professional, consulting and other fees in the
amount of $13,096 and a reduction in accrued interest receivable in the amount
of $29,664 as the remaining partnership accrued interest were written off in
1997.
The Partnerships' combined revenues for the year ended December 31, 1997
decreased by $80,977 or 71.8% from the same period in 1996. The decrease is due
to the reduction in interest income and interest on the collection of notes
receivable in the amounts of $15,885 and $65,092 respectively. The decrease in
Partnership revenue for 1997 is primarily due to the decreased amounts collected
of interest due on subscription notes. Also, the decrease in interest income
can be attributed to the Transfer.
The Partnerships' combined expenses for the year ended December 31, 1997
decreased by $1,387,882 or 78.6% from the same period in 1996. The decrease is
primarily due to a $973,089 reduction in General Partners fees which are based
on the gross revenues from the hotels. The decrease is also due to a $284,057
reduction in professional, consulting and other fees in the amount of $284,057
which is the result of the Transfer. The reduction in the writeoff of the
accrued interest receivable in the amount of $29,664 is due to the final
writeoff of the investor interest receivable in 1997.
In 1996, the Partnership recorded reorganization expenses of $410,000 for the
cost associated with the bankruptcy filing. No similar costs were recorded in
1998 or 1997.
For the year ended December 31, 1996, the Operating Partnership owned and
operated 15 hotels located in 8 states throughout the continental United States.
However, overall revenues decreased by $62,840,511, direct hotel costs and
expenses decreased by $25,203,539, and unallocated expenses decreased by
$39,688,500 from 1996 to 1997 due to the Transfer on September 26, 1996. The
Operating Partnership had previously owned and operated 24 Holiday Inn Hotels in
11 states.
In 1996, the Partnerships recorded an extraordinary gain of $261,556,070 for
extinguishment of debt related to the Transfer. No similar gains were recorded
in 1998 or 1997.
Impact of Year 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.
Inflation
- ---------
Inflation had no significant impact for years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and
1996 and is not anticipated to have a significant impact on the Partnerships in
the foreseeable future.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
------------------------------
To the Partners of
VMS National Hotel Portfolio I,
VMS National Hotel Portfolio II and
VMS National Hotel Partners
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of VMS NATIONAL HOTEL
PORTFOLIO I, VMS NATIONAL HOTEL PORTFOLIO II (Illinois limited partnerships) and
VMS NATIONAL HOTEL PARTNERS (an Illinois general partnership), (collectively the
"Partnerships"), as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related combined
statements of operations, partners' capital (deficit), and cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Partnerships' management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the combined financial position of VMS NATIONAL HOTEL
PORTFOLIO I, VMS NATIONAL HOTEL PORTFOLIO II and VMS NATIONAL HOTEL PARTNERS at
December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the combined results of their operations and
their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization
------------
VMS National Hotel Partners, an Illinois general partnership (the "Operating
Partnership") was formed on November 1, 1985 under the laws of the State of
Illinois and commenced operations on November 26, 1985, the date of the Hotel
acquisitions. The Operating Partnership was formed to acquire, own and
operate twenty-four Holiday Inn hotels (the "Hotels"). The Operating
Partnership conveyed thirteen of the Hotels to other affiliated partnerships
(the "Subpartnerships") that each own and operate a Hotel (as used herein,
the term "Operating Partnership" includes the Subpartnerships where context
requires). The Operating Partnership holds at least a 99% interest as a
general partner in each Subpartnership. VMS Realty, Inc., an Illinois
corporation, is the Managing General Partner of the Operating Partnership.
VMS National Hotel Portfolio I ("Portfolio I") and VMS National Hotel
Portfolio II ("Portfolio II") are Illinois limited partnerships formed to
purchase an aggregate 99.9% interest as General Partners in the Operating
Partnership (as used herein, the term Partnerships includes the Operating
Partnership, Portfolio I and Portfolio II where context requires). VMS
Realty Investment, Ltd. is the Managing General Partner of Portfolios I and
II. In addition, an unaffiliated corporation is the Minority General Partner
of Portfolio I.
On August 13, 1993 and again on May 10, 1996, the Operating Partnership filed
for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the United States Bankruptcy Court
for the Central District of California. The filings included only the
Operating Partnership and excluded Portfolio I and Portfolio II. On May 9,
1994, the United States Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of Illinois,
confirmed the original Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") subject to the
final negotiations of the Second Amended and Restated Note Purchase and Loan
Agreement and certain other events. On July 27, 1994, the Second Amended and
Restated Note Purchase and Loan Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") was
consummated and the remaining terms of the Plan were finalized on August 11,
1994. Under the Plan, the Operating Partnership was to sell properties as
stated in the Loan Agreement. Pursuant to the Plan, all pre-petition
payables have been paid. The Operating Partnership subsequently negotiated a
further restructuring of its outstanding debt with certain secured lenders.
As a result, the Operating Partnership filed a second pre-packaged Plan of
Reorganization (the "Second Plan") on May 10, 1996. The Second Plan was
confirmed by the court on July 24, 1996. Pursuant to the Second Plan, the
deeds to the properties were transferred to the senior lender on September
26, 1996 in consideration for the cancellation of the senior indebtedness
(the "Transfer") (See Note 5).
As a result of the Transfer, the Partnerships recognized an extraordinary
gain of $214,542,473 for financial reporting purposes, which represents the
excess of the remaining senior debt, related accrued interest, other
operating liabilities and net cash received by the Partnerships of $810,160
(in conjunction with the Transfer, VMS National Hotel Partners received
amounts in lieu of sales advisory fees totaling $1,025,000 from the senior
lender, net of $214,840 of operating cash transferred to the senior lender),
over the carrying value of the property and improvements and operating assets
transferred. In addition, the Partnerships recognized an

1. Organization (continued)
------------
extraordinary gain of $47,013,597 from the cancellation of the junior
mortgage indebtedness pursuant to the Second Plan.
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 Partnership's represent the only business segment.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
------------------------------------------
A. Basis of Combination: The accompanying combined financial statements
include the accounts of Portfolio I, Portfolio II and the Operating
Partnership (collectively the "Partnership"). Significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the combination of
these financial statements.
B. The 1996 combined financial statements reflect the financial reporting
guidance prescribed by the AICPA Statement of Position 90-7 (SOP 90-7),
"Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy
Code", during the period the Operating Partnership was in bankruptcy.
Items of income or expense that were realized or incurred as a result of
the reorganization are included in the combined statement of operations
as reorganization items. During 1996, $410,000 was paid for
professional, consulting and other fees for the administration of Chapter
11 proceedings.
C. Method of Accounting: The books and records are maintained on the
accrual basis of accounting used for federal income tax reporting
purposes. The accompanying combined financial statements have been
prepared from these records, after making appropriate adjustments, to
reflect the accounts in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP). The significant items causing these adjustments are:
(1) the differing lives and methods of depreciation used (see below); (2)
provision to reflect impairment in the value of property and improvements
recorded under the GAAP basis not recorded under a tax basis; (3) the
treatment of certain fees and other consideration due to the Managing
General Partner and its affiliates (see below); (4) the costs incurred in
connection with raising capital (offering costs) and subscription notes,
which are treated as reductions to the Limited Partners' capital for GAAP
purposes and as assets for tax purposes; (5) the differing lives over
which deferred loan costs are being amortized; and (6) the treatment of
restructured debt.

------------------------------------------
D. Depreciation - pursuant to the Plan, all properties had been held for
sale and accordingly were classified as Property and Improvements held
for sale on the Combined Balance Sheet as of January 1, 1996 and no
further depreciation expense was recorded subsequent to that date.
E. Fees and Expenses Paid to Affiliates: Various fees and expense
reimbursements are made to the Managing General Partner and its
affiliates. These charges are accounted for using the following basis:
<TABLE>

Assignment note interest Interest has been waived The note was discounted
under the terms of the in 1991, with the discount
note agreement being amortized through
maturity date
</TABLE>
F. Income Taxes: No provision (benefit) for income taxes or related credits
has been recorded in the Partnerships' combined financial statements as
the results of their operations are includable in the income tax returns
of the Partners.
G. Cash Equivalents and Other Financial Instruments: The Partnerships
consider all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or
less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents
and other financial instruments are carried at cost which approximates
their fair value, based upon their relatively short maturity.
H. Use of Estimates: The preparation of the combined financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounted principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported in the combined financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. Partnership Agreements
----------------------
Profits and losses of the Operating Partnership are allocated to Portfolio I
and Portfolio II on a pro rata basis using the ratio of their respective
Limited Partnership units issued and

----------------------
outstanding. The profits and losses of Portfolio I and Portfolio II are
allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partners.
Cash flow distributions of the Operating Partnership will be made as follows:
99.9% in total to Portfolio I and Portfolio II, on a pro rata basis in
proportion to their contributions to the Operating Partnership. The remaining
.1% will be distributed equally to the two General Partners of the Operating
Partnership. Cash flow distributions by Portfolio I and Portfolio II will be
made at the discretion of the Managing General Partner first to the Limited
Partners in an amount equal to 12% per annum (on a noncumulative basis) of
their contributed capital, then to the extent that cash flow is available to
pay the General Partners of Portfolio I and Portfolio II a subordinated
incentive fee in an amount equal to 28.57% of remaining cash flow. For
Portfolio I, 20.86% will be paid to the Managing General Partner and 7.71%
will be paid to the Minority General Partner. Any remaining cash flow will
be distributed 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partners.
4. Subscription Notes
------------------
Under the terms of the Partnership Agreements for Portfolio I and Portfolio
II, the General Partners offered 514 and 135 units of Limited Partnership
interests, respectively. All units offered were sold as of December 31,
1985. The Limited Partners agreed to contribute capital of $77,100,000
(reduced to $77,082,812 as of December 31, 1992 by investors opting out of
the settlement agreement) to Portfolio I and $20,250,000 to Portfolio II. Of
these amounts, $75,922,925 and $20,072,730, respectively, had been
contributed to each as of December 31, 1998. The remaining balance, in the
aggregate amount of $1,337,157 as of December 31, 1998, is represented by
promissory notes of the Limited Partners. This balance is included in the
combined financial statements as a reduction of Partners' Capital. The
promissory notes as originally executed required that the Limited Partners
make installment payments to Portfolios I and II with the final installment
due March 1, 1990. However, a settlement agreement has been reached which
enables the settling Limited Partners to have the option of making their
remaining principal payments on terms more favorable than originally provided
in their subscription notes. Amounts due from those Limited Partners not
paying under the more favorable terms are considered past due. The principal
amounts due from those Limited Partners paying under the more favorable terms
bear interest at prime plus 2% per annum. The principal amounts due from
Limited Partners considered past due bear interest at 18% per annum. The
Partnerships record interest income only to the extent that cash is received.
5. Mortgage Loans Payable
----------------------
The Partnerships had two groups of mortgage loans. The first was a group of
10% first mortgage loans, payable from available cash flows and the second
was a group of non-interest bearing junior mortgage loans. In 1996, the
Mortgage Loans were forgiven in conjunction with the Transfer.

NOTES TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
5. Mortgage Loans Payable (continued)
----------------------
In accordance with SOP 90-7, the accrual of interest on all mortgage loans
was discontinued as of the bankruptcy filing dates due to the "unsecured" or
"underscored" positions on these Notes obligations. All of the 1996
contractual interest was paid and recorded in 1996.
6. Management Agreement
--------------------
Management of the Holiday Inn and Crowne Plaza hotel properties (the
"Hotels") previously owned by the Partnerships was performed by American
General Hospitality, Inc. ("AGHI") Under the terms of the management
agreement with AGHI, the Operating Partnership was assessed a basic
management fee at the lesser of 2.25% of gross revenue, as defined, or the
amount of available cash flow in excess of the base year cash flow as set
forth in the management agreement. During 1996, management fees of
$1,349,601 were incurred under the agreement with AGHI.
7. Related Party Transactions
--------------------------
Under the terms of the various Partnership Agreements, the Managing General
Partner and its affiliates are to provide management, financing, organization
and other services to the Partnerships in return for certain fees as follows:

diligence, data processing and travel and communication expenses incurred
by affiliates of the Managing General Partner for operation of the
Partnerships.

8. Lease Commitments
-----------------
The Operating Partnership leased the land on which five hotel properties were
located. Rent expense under these leases was approximately $640,394 for the
year ended December 31, 1996. The Operating Partnership is no longer
obligated under the lease commitments due to the Transfer.
9. Litigation
----------
The Partnerships are involved in various claims and legal actions. The
adverse outcome of certain of the legal proceedings could have a materially
adverse effect on the present and future operations of the Partnership.
As a result of the bankruptcy proceedings, in settlement of one of the
Partnership's litigation, the sum of $79,468 was received and applied towards
the cost of identifying errors which may have occurred in respect to
identification of and payment to creditors.
The Partnerships are the subject of certain filed claims in the bankruptcy
cases totaling approximately $468,000. The Partnerships are contesting the
validity of the claims and are hopeful that the claims will be disallowed in
their entirety. Subject to certain provisions in the Plan of Reorganization,
the Partnerships obtained an indemnity to the extent of the actual amounts of
such claims. This indemnity does not include the costs associated with
defending the litigation. The outcome of this litigation is uncertain.
