Cal Kan, Inc.  (collectively the "Purchasers") hereby seek to acquire Beneficial
Unit Certificates (the "Units") in Summit Tax Exempt L.P. II, a Delaware limited
partnership  (the  "Partnership").  The Purchasers  are not affiliated  with the
Partnership or its general partners.  The Purchasers hereby offer to purchase up
to 177,500 Units at a purchase  price equal to $10.50 per Unit,  less the amount
of any  distributions  declared or made with respect to the Units  between April
24, 1997 (the "Offer  Date") and May 23, 1997,  or such other date to which this
Offer may be extended (the "Expiration  Date"), in cash, without interest,  upon
the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Offer to Purchase (the
"Offer to Purchase")  and in the related Letter of  Transmittal,  as each may be
supplemented  or  amended  from  time to time  (which  together  constitute  the
"Offer"). The 177,500 Units sought pursuant to the Offer represent approximately
2% of the Units outstanding as of December 31, 1996.

Holders of Units ("Unitholders") are urged to consider the following factors:

                  -Unitholders   who  tender   their  Units  will  give  up  the
                  opportunity  to  participate  in any future  benefits from the
                  ownership of Units,  including potential future  distributions
                  by the Partnership, and the purchase price per Unit payable to
                  a tendering  Unitholder by the Purchasers may be less than the
                  total  amount  which  might   otherwise  be  received  by  the
                  Unitholder with respect to the Unit over the remaining term of
                  the Partnership.

                  -The purchase price offered by the Purchasers is less than the
                  $10.56  per  Unit  estimated  by  the  Purchasers  to  be  the
                  estimated  liquidation  value of the underlying  assets of the
                  Partnership  as of December 31, 1996, and less than the $11.85
                  per Unit estimated by the General  Partners to be the value of
                  the Units for ERISA  valuation  purposes  in  response to oral
                  inquiries in March 1997.



<PAGE>




                  -The  Purchasers are making the Offer for investment  purposes
                  and with the  intention of making a profit from the  ownership
                  of the Units. In establishing the purchase price of $10.50 per
                  Unit,  the  Purchasers  are  motivated to establish the lowest
                  price which might be acceptable to Unitholders consistent with
                  the Purchasers' objectives.

                  -The  Purchasers  may  accept  only a  portion  of  the  Units
                  tendered  by a  Unitholder  in the  event a total of more than
                  177,500 Units are tendered.

THE OFFER TO PURCHASE IS NOT CONDITIONED  UPON ANY MINIMUM NUMBER OF UNITS BEING
TENDERED. IF MORE THAN 177,500 UNITS ARE VALIDLY TENDERED AND NOT WITHDRAWN, THE
PURCHASERS WILL ACCEPT FOR PURCHASE 177,500 UNITS FROM TENDERING  UNITHOLDERS ON
A PRO RATA BASIS, SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS HEREIN.

A UNITHOLDER MAY TENDER ANY OR ALL UNITS OWNED BY SUCH UNITHOLDER.

The Purchasers  expressly  reserve the right, in their sole  discretion,  at any
time and from time to time,  (i) to extend the period of time  during  which the
Offer is open and thereby delay  acceptance for payment of, and the payment for,
any Units,  (ii) to terminate the Offer and not accept for payment any Units not
theretofore  accepted for payment or paid for,  (iii) upon the occurrence of any
of the  conditions  specified in Section 13 of this Offer to Purchase,  to delay
the  acceptance  for  payment  of, or  payment  for,  any Units not  theretofore
accepted  for payment or paid for,  and (iv) to amend the Offer in any  respect.
Notice  of any  such  extension,  termination  or  amendment  will  promptly  be
disseminated  to  Unitholders  in  a  manner   reasonably   designed  to  inform
Unitholders of such change in compliance with Rule 14d-4(c) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the  "Exchange  Act").  In the case of an extension of the
Offer, such extension will be followed by a press release or public announcement
which will be issued no later than 9:00 a.m., Eastern Standard Time, on the next
business  day after the  scheduled  Expiration  Date,  in  accordance  with Rule
14e-1(d) under the Exchange Act.

To the Holders of Beneficial Unit Certificates
of Summit Tax Exempt L.P. II

                                  INTRODUCTION

         The  Purchasers  hereby  offer to  purchase  up to  177,500  Units at a
purchase price of $10.50 per Unit, less the amount of any distributions declared
or paid with respect to the Units between the Offer Date and the Expiration Date
("Offer Price"),  in cash,  without interest,  upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in the Offer.  Unitholders  who tender their Units will not
be obligated to pay any Partnership  transfer fees, or any other fees,  expenses
or commissions in connection  with the tender of Units.  The Purchasers will pay
all such costs and all charges and expenses of the  Depositary,  an affiliate of
certain of the Purchasers, as depositary in connection with the Offer.

         For further information concerning the Purchasers, see Section 11 below
and Schedule I.

     None of the Purchasers is affiliated with Related Tax Exempt Associates II,
Inc. or Prudential-Bache  Properties,  Inc., the Partnership's  general partners
(the "General Partners") or with any affiliate of such persons.

         Unitholders are urged to consider the following factors:


         - Unitholders  who tender their Units will give up the  opportunity  to
         participate  in any  future  benefits  from  the  ownership  of  Units,
         including  potential future  distributions by the Partnership,  and the
         purchase  price  per Unit  payable  to a  tendering  Unitholder  by the
         Purchasers  may be less than the total amount which might  otherwise be
         received by the Unitholder  with respect to the Unit over the remaining
         term of the Partnership.

         - The purchase  price offered by the Purchasers is less than the $10.56
         per Unit  estimated by the  Purchasers to be the estimated  liquidation
         value of the  underlying  assets of the  Partnership as of December 31,
         1996,  and less  than the  $11.85  per Unit  estimated  by the  General
         Partners to be the value of the Units for ERISA  valuation  purposes in
         response to oral inquiries in March 1997.

         - The Purchasers are making the Offer for investment  purposes and with
         the  intention of making a profit from the  ownership of the Units.  In
         establishing  the purchase price of $10.50 per Unit, the Purchasers are
         motivated to establish  the lowest price which might be  acceptable  to
         Unitholders consistent with the Purchasers' objectives.

         - The  Purchasers  may accept only a portion of the Units tendered by a
         Unitholder  in the  event  a total  of  more  than  177,500  Units  are
         tendered.

The Offer will  provide  Unitholders  with an  opportunity  to  liquidate  their
investment  without the usual  transaction  costs  associated with market sales.
Unitholders  may no  longer  wish  to  continue  with  their  investment  in the
Partnership for a number of reasons, including the following:

         -  the absence of a formal trading market for the Units and the 
         difficulty in selling units in secondary market transactions;

         -  general disenchantment with real estate investments, particularly 
         long-term investments in limited partnerships;

         - the General Partners have disclosed that a proposed settlement of a 
class action lawsuit against a General Partner   relating  to  the  Partnership
contemplates, among other things, the reorganization of the

                                        5
                                          
<PAGE>



         Partnership  and two other  related  partnerships.  One  result of this
         proposed  reorganization  would be to increase potential  liquidity for
         Unitholders. However, the proposed settlement is subject to a number of
         contingencies  and there can be no  assurance  as to  whether or when a
         final  settlement  agreement  will be  approved  by the  court  and all
         involved  parties.  Furthermore,  there can be no  assurance  as to the
         value of the Units in the proposed  reorganization  or as to the prices
         at which the Units will trade if and when a substantial volume of Units
         become available on the market.

         -  a more immediate need to use the cash now tied up in an investment 
         in the Units;

         - a desire to eliminate the need for compliance  with  complicated  and
         costly tax return requirements and associated expenses which may result
         from an investment in the Units; and

         - no termination or liquidation date has been fixed for the Partnership
         other  than the  Partnership  Agreement  provision  for the term of the
         Partnership  to  extend  until  December  31,  2020  (unless  dissolved
         earlier).  The Partnership's  mortgage bond investments are expected to
         be  held  at  least  through  2001,  though  the  bonds  may be held to
         maturity,  which,  according to the General Partners, may extend beyond
         the year 2007.

         The Offer is not  conditioned  upon any  minimum  number of Units being
tendered. If more than 177,500 Units are validly tendered and not withdrawn, the
Purchasers  will  accept for  purchase  a total  177,500  Units  from  tendering
Unitholders on a pro rata basis, subject to the terms and conditions herein. See
"Tender Offer - Section 13.  Conditions of the Offer" for certain  conditions of
the Offer. The Purchasers  expressly reserve the right, in their sole discretion
and for any reason, to waive any or all of the conditions of the Offer, although
the Purchasers do not presently intend to waive any such conditions.

Establishment of the Offer Price

         The  Purchasers  have set the Offer Price at $10.50 per Unit,  less the
amount of any  distributions  declared or made with respect to the Units between
the  Offer  Date and  Expiration  Date.  In  determining  the Offer  Price,  the
Purchasers analyzed a number of quantitative and qualitative factors, including:
(i) the prices of recent secondary market resales of the Units; (ii) the lack of
liquidity of an investment in the Partnership; (iii) the Purchasers' estimate of
the  potential  liquidation  value of the  Partnership's  assets and the General
Partners'  estimate of the current value of the Units; and (iv) the costs to the
Purchasers associated with acquiring the Units.

         The  Offer  Price  represents  the price at which  the  Purchasers  are
willing to purchase Units.  No independent  person has been retained to evaluate
or render any  opinion  with  respect to the  fairness of the Offer Price and no
representation  is made by the  Purchasers or any affiliate of the Purchasers as
to such  fairness.  Other  measures of the value of the Units may be relevant to
Unitholders.  Unitholders are urged to consider carefully all of the information
contained  herein  and  consult  with  their own  advisors,  tax,  financial  or
otherwise,  in  evaluating  the terms of the Offer  before  deciding  whether to
tender Units.

         According to reports  published  by Robert A.  Stanger & Co.,  Inc. and
Partnership Spectrum,  independent,  third-party sources, the low and high sales
prices of Units  during the period  from  December 1, 1996  through  January 31,
1997, were $10.50 and $12.55 per Unit, respectively.  In response to a telephone
inquiry to representatives of the General Partners, affiliates of the Purchasers
were advised that the General  Partners  estimated  the value of the Units to be
$11.85 per Unit as of December 31, 1996 for  purposes of portfolio  valuation by
ERISA fiduciaries.  The market prices and, the Purchasers  believe,  the General
Partners'  ERISA  valuations,  reflect  gross sales prices for the Units.  Gross
sales prices do not reflect the net sales proceeds received by sellers of Units,
which  typically  are  reduced  by  commissions   and  other  secondary   market
transaction  costs to amounts less than the reported  prices.  In addition,  the
information  published by the independent sources is the product of their market
research and does not constitute the comprehensive

                                        6
         

<PAGE>



transaction reporting of a securities exchange.  Accordingly,  the Purchasers do
not know whether the foregoing sales price information is accurate or complete.

During the period from August 1996 through October 1996,  affiliates of the
Purchasers acquired a total of 38,965 Units in individual  privately  negotiated
transactions with total  acquisition costs (including all commissions,  fees and
expenses incurred in connection with the  acquisitions)  ranging from $11.32 per
Unit to $11.95 per Unit, with an average gross price of $11.62 per Unit.

The Purchasers  are offering to purchase  Units which are a relatively  illiquid
investment and are not offering to purchase the Partnership's underlying assets.
Consequently,  the Purchasers do not believe that the underlying  asset value of
the Partnership is determinative  in arriving at the Offer Price.  Nevertheless,
using publicly available information concerning the Partnership contained in the
Partnership's  Form 10-K for the  fiscal  year  ended  December  31,  1996,  the
Purchasers used an estimated asset value to derive an estimated market value for
the Units solely for purposes of formulating their Offer.

In  determining  their  estimated  value  of the  Units,  the  Purchasers  first
calculated the estimated current value of the Partnership's  mortgage bonds. The
value of the bonds is set forth in the Partnership's  financial statements based
on "the  present  value of its  expected  cash flows  using a discount  rate for
comparable tax exempt  investments."  The Purchasers  believe that a "comparable
rate" of discount used for financial reporting purposes was likely approximately
6.5%  (though the  Purchasers  can only  speculate  as to the actual rate used).
Because  of the  highly  illiquid  nature of the Units,  the  provisions  of the
Partnership Agreement and other factors,  including the proposed  reorganization
pursuant to the class action  settlement  agreement,  the  Purchasers  believe a
discount  rate of  approximately  11% is more  appropriate  for the  Purchasers'
valuation  of the  Units  themselves.  The  resulting  discounted  value  of the
Partnership's  mortgage bonds was added to the  Partnership's net current assets
and the  Partnership's  total  estimated  asset  value was then  reduced  by the
Purchasers'  estimate of the hypothetical  costs to liquidate the portfolio plus
the Purchasers'  estimated gross acquisition and transfer costs. The Purchasers'
resulting estimated current value per Unit is $10.56.

Under the  Partnership  Agreement,  the  Partnership is not required to sell its
mortgage  bond  investments  prior to  maturity or until the earlier of the date
Unitholders holding a majority of the Units vote to liquidate the Partnership or
December 31, 2020.

As indicated above, the Offer Price represents the price at which the Purchasers
are  willing to  purchase  Units.  No  independent  person has been  retained to
evaluate or render any opinion  with  respect to the fairness of the Offer Price
and no  representation  is  made  by the  Purchasers  or  any  affiliate  of the
Purchasers as to such fairness.  Other measures of the value of the Units may be
relevant to Unitholders.  Unitholders are urged to consider carefully all of the
information contained herein and consult with their own advisors, tax, financial
or otherwise,  in evaluating the terms of the Offer before  deciding  whether to
tender Units.

General Background Information

Certain  information  contained in this Offer to Purchase  which  relates to, or
represents,  statements made by the Partnership or the General Partner, has been
derived from  information  provided in reports filed by the Partnership with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

According to publicly available  information,  there were 9,151,620 Units issued
and outstanding at December 31, 1996, held by approximately  9,161  Unitholders.
None of the Purchasers is currently a holder of any Units. Certain affiliates of
the  Purchasers  currently  beneficially  own an  aggregate  of 38,965  Units or
approximately 0.4% of the outstanding Units (see "Certain Information Concerning
the Purchasers" below).

Tendering Unitholders will not be obligated to pay transfer fees, brokerage fees
or commissions on the sale of the Units to the Purchasers pursuant to the Offer.
The Purchasers will pay all charges and expenses

                                        7
         

<PAGE>



incurred in connection with the Offer.  The Purchasers desire to purchase all 
Units tendered by each Unitholder.

If, prior to the  Expiration  Date, the  Purchasers  increase the  consideration
offered to Unitholders pursuant to the Offer, such increased  consideration will
be paid with  respect to all Units  that are  purchased  pursuant  to the Offer,
whether or not such Units were tendered prior to such increase in consideration.

Unitholders are urged to read this Offer to Purchase and the accompanying Letter
of Transmittal carefully before deciding whether to tender their Units.

                                  TENDER OFFER

Section 1. Terms of the Offer.  Upon the terms and subject to the  conditions of
the Offer,  the  Purchasers  will accept for  payment and pay for Units  validly
tendered on or prior to the Expiration Date and not withdrawn in accordance with
Section 4 of this Offer to Purchase. The term "Expiration Date" shall mean 12:00
midnight,  Pacific  Daylight  Time,  on May  23,  1997,  unless  and  until  the
Purchasers  shall have  extended the period of time for which the Offer is open,
in which event the term "Expiration Date" shall mean the latest time and date on
which the Offer, as so extended by the Purchasers, shall expire.

The Offer is conditioned on satisfaction of certain conditions.  See Section 13,
which sets forth in full the conditions of the Offer. The Purchasers reserve the
right (but shall not be obligated), in their sole discretion and for any reason,
to waive any or all of such  conditions.  If, by the Expiration Date, any or all
of such conditions have not been satisfied or waived, the Purchasers reserve the
right (but shall not be  obligated)  to (i) decline to purchase any of the Units
tendered,  terminate  the Offer  and  return  all  tendered  Units to  tendering
Unitholders, (ii) waive all the unsatisfied conditions and, subject to complying
with  applicable  rules and  regulations of the  Commission,  purchase all Units
validly  tendered,  (iii)  extend  the  Offer  and,  subject  to  the  right  of
Unitholders to withdraw Units until the Expiration  Date,  retain the Units that
have been tendered  during the period or periods for which the Offer is extended
or (iv) to amend the Offer.

The Purchasers do not anticipate and has no reason to believe that any condition
or event will occur that would prevent the Purchasers from  purchasing  tendered
Units as offered herein.

Section 2.  Proration;  Acceptance  for Payment  and  Payment for Units.  If the
number of Units validly  tendered prior to the Expiration Date and not withdrawn
is 177,500 or less, the Purchasers, upon the terms and subject to the conditions
of the Offer, will accept for payment all Units so tendered.

If the number of Units validly  tendered  prior to the  Expiration  Date and not
withdrawn  exceeds  177,500,  the Purchasers,  upon the terms and subject to the
conditions of the Offer, will accept for payment Units so tendered on a pro rata
basis.

In  the  event  that  proration  is  required,  because  of  the  difficulty  of
immediately  determining  the  precise  number  of  Units  to be  accepted,  the
Purchasers  will announce the final results of proration as soon as practicable,
but in no event later than five business days following the Expiration Date. The
Purchasers  will not pay for any Units tendered until after the final  proration
factor has been determined.

Upon the terms and subject to the  conditions  of the Offer  (including,  if the
Offer is extended or  amended,  the terms and  conditions  of any  extension  or
amendment),  the  Purchasers  will accept for payment,  and will pay for,  Units
validly  tendered and not withdrawn in accordance with Section 4, as promptly as
practicable  following  the  Expiration  Date.  In all cases,  payment for Units
purchased  pursuant to the Offer will be made only after  timely  receipt by the
Depositary of a properly  completed and duly executed  Letter of Transmittal (or
facsimile   thereof)  and  any  other  documents   required  by  the  Letter  of
Transmittal.


                                        8
                       
<PAGE>



For purposes of the Offer,  the Purchasers  shall be deemed to have accepted for
payment (and thereby  purchased)  tendered  Units when, as and if the Purchasers
give oral or written notice to the Depositary of the Purchasers'  acceptance for
payment of such Units  pursuant to the Offer.  Upon the terms and subject to the
conditions of the Offer,  payment for Units purchased pursuant to the Offer will
in all cases be made by deposit of the Offer  Price with the  Depositary,  which
will act as agent for the  tendering  Unitholders  for the purpose of  receiving
payment from the Purchasers and transmitting payment to tendering Unitholders.

Under no circumstances will interest be paid on the Offer Price by reason of any
delay in making such payment.

If any  tendered  Units  are  not  purchased  for  any  reason,  the  Letter  of
Transmittal  with  respect  to such Units not  purchased  will be of no force or
effect.  If, for any reason  whatsoever,  acceptance  for payment of, or payment
for, any Units  tendered  pursuant to the Offer is delayed or the Purchasers are
unable to accept for payment, purchase or pay for Units tendered pursuant to the
Offer,  then,  without prejudice to the Purchasers' rights under Section 13 (but
subject to compliance with Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act), the Depositary
may, nevertheless,  on behalf of the Purchasers,  retain tendered Units, subject
to any limitations of applicable law, and such Units may not be withdrawn except
to the extent that the tendering  Unitholders are entitled to withdrawal  rights
as described in Section 4.

If,  prior  to  the  Expiration   Date,   the  Purchasers   shall  increase  the
consideration  offered to  Unitholders  pursuant  to the Offer,  such  increased
consideration  shall be paid for all Units accepted for payment  pursuant to the
Offer, whether or not such Units were tendered prior to such increase.

Section 3. Procedures for Tendering Units.

Valid Tender. For Units to be validly tendered pursuant to the Offer, a properly
completed and duly executed  Letter of  Transmittal (a copy of which is enclosed
and printed on green paper) with any other  documents  required by the Letter of
Transmittal  must be received by the  Depositary at its address set forth on the
back cover of this  Offer to  Purchase  on or prior to the  Expiration  Date.  A
Unitholder may tender any or all Units owned by such Unitholder.

In order for a tendering  Unitholder to participate in the Offer,  Units must be
validly  tendered and not withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date, which is 12:00
midnight,  Pacific  Daylight  Time,  on May 23, 1997,  or such date to which the
Offer may be extended.

The method of  delivery  of the  Letter of  Transmittal  and all other  required
documents  is at the option and risk of the  tendering  Unitholder  and delivery
will be deemed made only when actually received by the Depositary.

Backup Federal Income Tax  Withholding.  To prevent the possible  application of
31% backup federal income tax  withholding  with respect to payment of the Offer
Price for Units  purchased  pursuant to the Offer, a tendering  Unitholder  must
provide the Depositary with such  Unitholder's  correct taxpayer  identification
number and make certain  certifications  that such  Unitholder is not subject to
backup federal income tax withholding.  Each tendering Unitholder must insert in
the Letter of Transmittal the  Unitholder's  taxpayer  identification  number or
social  security  number in the  space  provided  on the front of the  Letter of
Transmittal.  The Letter of  Transmittal  also  includes a substitute  Form W-9,
which contains the  certifications  referred to above.  (See the Instructions to
the Letter of Transmittal.)

FIRPTA Withholding.  To prevent the withholding of federal income tax in an
amount equal to 10% of the sum of the Offer Price plus the amount of Partnership
liabilities  allocable to each Unit tendered,  each Unitholder must complete the
FIRPTA  Affidavit  included  in  the  Letter  of  Transmittal   certifying  such
Unitholder's taxpayer  identification number and address and that the Unitholder
is not a foreign person.  (See the Instructions to the Letter of Transmittal and
"Section 6. Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences.")

Other  Requirements.  By executing a Letter of Transmittal as set forth above, a
tendering  Unitholder  irrevocably  appoints the designees of the  Purchasers as
such Unitholder's proxies, in the manner set forth in the Letter of Transmittal,
each with full power of  substitution,  to the full extent of such  Unitholder's
rights with respect to the Units  tendered by such  Unitholder  and accepted for
payment by the Purchasers.  Such appointment will be effective when, and only to
the  extent  that,  the  Purchasers  accept  such Units for  payment.  Upon such
acceptance for payment,  all prior proxies given by such Unitholder with respect
to such Units  will,  without  further  action,  be revoked,  and no  subsequent
proxies may be given (and if given will not be effective).  The designees of the
Purchasers will, with respect to such Units, be empowered to exercise all voting
and other rights of such  Unitholder as they in their sole  discretion  may deem
proper at any  meeting of  Unitholders,  by written  consent  or  otherwise.  In
addition, by executing a Letter of Transmittal, a Unitholder also assigns to the
Purchasers  all of the  Unitholder's  rights to receive  distributions  from the
Partnership  with respect to Units which are accepted for payment and  purchased
pursuant to the Offer,  other than those  distributions  declared or paid during
the period commencing on the Offer Date and terminating on the Expiration Date.

Determination of Validity;  Rejection of Units; Waiver of Defects; No Obligation
to Give Notice of Defects. All questions as to the validity,  form,  eligibility
(including  time of receipt) and  acceptance  for payment of any tender of Units
pursuant to the procedures described above will be determined by the Purchasers,
in their sole discretion,  which determination  shall be final and binding.  The
Purchasers  reserve  the  absolute  right to reject any or all tenders if not in
proper form or if the  acceptance  of, or payment  for,  the  absolute  right to
reject any or all  tenders  if not in proper  form or if the  acceptance  of, or
payment for, the Units tendered may, in the opinion of the Purchasers'  counsel,
be  unlawful.  The  Purchasers  also  reserve  the right to waive any  defect or
irregularity  in  any  tender  with  respect  to  any  particular  Units  of any
particular  Unitholder,  and the  Purchasers'  interpretation  of the  terms and
conditions  of  the  Offer   (including  the  Letter  of  Transmittal   and  the
Instructions  thereto) will be final and binding.  Neither the  Purchasers,  the
Depositary,  nor any other person will be under any duty to give notification of
any  defects  or  irregularities  in the  tender of any Units or will  incur any
liability for failure to give any such notification.

A  tender  of Units  pursuant  to any of the  procedures  described  above  will
constitute  a  binding  agreement  between  the  tendering  Unitholder  and  the
Purchasers upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer,  including
the tendering Unitholder's  representation and warranty that (i) such Unitholder
owns the Units  being  tendered  within  the  meaning  of Rule  14e-4  under the
Exchange  Act and (ii) the tender of such Unit  complies  with Rule 14e-4.  Rule
14e-4 requires, in general, that a tendering security holder actually be able to
deliver the security subject to the tender offer, and is of concern particularly
to any Unitholders who have granted options to sell or purchase the Units,  hold
option  rights to acquire such  securities,  maintain  "short"  positions in the
Units  (i.e.,  have  borrowed  the  Units) or have  loaned  the Units to a short
seller. Because of the nature of limited partnership  interests,  the Purchasers
believe it is unlikely that any option trading or short selling  activity exists
with respect to the Units.  In any event, a Unit holder will be deemed to tender
Units in  compliance  with Rule  14e-4 and the Offer if the holder is the record
owner of the Units and the holder (i) delivers  the Units  pursuant to the terms
of the Offer,  (ii)  causes  such  delivery to be made,  (iii)  guarantees  such
delivery,  (iv) causes a guaranty of such delivery, or (v) uses any other method
permitted in the Offer (such as facsimile delivery of the Transmittal Letter).

Section 4. Withdrawal  Rights.  Except as otherwise  provided in this Section 4,
all tenders of Units pursuant to the Offer are irrevocable,  provided that Units
tendered  pursuant  to the  Offer  may be  withdrawn  at any  time  prior to the
Expiration Date and, unless theretofore accepted for payment as provided in this
Offer to  Purchase,  may also be  withdrawn  at any time after June 24, 1997 (or
such later date as may apply in the event the Offer is extended).

For withdrawal to be effective,  a written or facsimile  transmission  notice of
withdrawal  must be timely  received  by the  Depositary  at the  address or the
facsimile  number  set forth in the  attached  Letter of  Transmittal.  Any such
notice of withdrawal  must specify the name of the person who tendered the Units
to be withdrawn and

                                       10


<PAGE>



must be signed by the person(s) who signed the Letter of Transmittal in the same
manner as the Letter of Transmittal was signed.

If  purchase  of, or  payment  for,  Units is  delayed  for any reason or if the
Purchasers are unable to purchase or pay for Units for any reason, then, without
prejudice  to the  Purchasers'  rights  under the Offer,  tendered  Units may be
retained by the  Depositary on behalf of the Purchasers and may not be withdrawn
except to the extent that  tendering  Unitholders  are  entitled  to  withdrawal
rights as set  forth in this  Section  4,  subject  to Rule 14e- 1(c)  under the
Exchange Act,  which provides that no person who makes a tender offer shall fail
to pay the  consideration  offered or return the  securities  deposited by or on
behalf of security  holders  promptly after the termination or withdrawal of the
tender offer.

All questions as to the form and validity (including time of receipt) of notices
of withdrawal  will be determined by the Purchasers,  in their sole  discretion,
which  determination  shall be final and binding.  Neither the  Purchasers,  the
Depositary,  nor any other person will be under any duty to give notification of
any  defects or  irregularities  in any notice of  withdrawal  or will incur any
liability for failure to give any such notification.

Any Units  properly  withdrawn  will be deemed  not to be validly  tendered  for
purposes of the Offer. Withdrawn Units may be re-tendered, however, by following
the procedures described in Section 3 at any time prior to the Expiration Date.

Section 5. Extension of Tender Period;  Termination;  Amendment.  The Purchasers
expressly reserve the right, in their sole discretion, at any time and from time
to time,  (i) to extend  the period of time  during  which the Offer is open and
thereby  delay  acceptance  for payment of, and the  payment  for,  any Units by
giving  oral or written  notice of such  extension  to the  Depositary,  (ii) to
terminate  the Offer  and not  accept  for  payment  any  Units not  theretofore
accepted  for  payment or paid for,  by giving  oral or  written  notice of such
termination to the Depositary,  (iii) upon the occurrence or failure to occur of
any of the  conditions  specified  in Section  13, to delay the  acceptance  for
payment of, or payment  for,  any Units not  heretofore  accepted for payment or
paid for, by giving oral or written  notice of such  termination or delay to the
Depositary,  and (iv) to amend  the  Offer in any  respect  (including,  without
limitation,  by increasing or decreasing the consideration offered or the number
of  Units  being   sought  in  the  Offer  or  both  or  changing  the  type  of
consideration)  by  giving  oral or  written  notice  of such  amendment  to the
Depositary. Any extension, termination or amendment will be followed as promptly
as  practicable  by  public  announcement,  the  announcement  in the case of an
extension to be issued no later than 9:00 a.m.,  Eastern  Standard  Time, on the
next business day after the previously  scheduled Expiration Date, in accordance
with the public  announcement  requirement  of Rule 14d- 4(c) under the Exchange
Act.  Without limiting the manner in which the Purchasers may choose to make any
public  announcement,  except as  provided by  applicable  law  (including  Rule
14d-4(c)  under the Exchange  Act),  the  Purchasers  will have no obligation to
publish, advertise or otherwise communicate any such public announcement,  other
than by issuing a release to the Dow Jones News Service. The Purchasers may also
be required by applicable law to disseminate to Unitholders  certain information
concerning the extensions of the Offer and any material  changes in the terms of
the Offer.

If the  Purchasers  extend the Offer,  or if the Purchasers  (whether  before or
after its  acceptance  for  payment of Units) are  delayed in their  payment for
Units or are unable to pay for Units pursuant to the Offer for any reason, then,
without prejudice to the Purchasers'  rights under the Offer, the Depositary may
retain  tendered  Units on behalf of the  Purchasers,  and such Units may not be
withdrawn except to the extent tendering  Unitholders are entitled to withdrawal
rights as  described in Section 4.  However,  the ability of the  Purchasers  to
delay payment for Units that the Purchasers have accepted for payment is limited
by Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, which requires that the Purchasers pay the
consideration  offered or return  the  securities  deposited  by or on behalf of
holders of securities promptly after the termination or withdrawal of the Offer.

If the  Purchasers  make a  material  change  in the  terms of the  Offer or the
information concerning the Offer or waive a material condition of the Offer, the
Purchasers  will  extend the Offer to the  extent  required  by Rules  14d-4(c),
14d-6(d) and 14e-1 under the Exchange  Act. The minimum  period  during which an


                                       11

offer must  remain  open  following  a material  change in the terms of the
offer or  information  concerning  the offer,  other than a change in price or a
change in  percentage  of  securities  sought,  will  depend  upon the facts and
circumstances,  including the relative materiality of the change in the terms or
information.  With  respect  to a change in price or a change in  percentage  of
securities  sought (other than an increase of not more than 2% of the securities
sought),  however,  a minimum ten business  day period is generally  required to
allow for adequate  dissemination to security holders and for investor response.
As used in this  Offer to  Purchase,  "business  day" means any day other than a
Saturday,  Sunday or a federal  holiday,  and  consists  of the time period from
12:01 a.m. through 12:00 midnight, Pacific Daylight Time.

Section 6.  Certain  Federal  Income Tax  Consequences.  THE FEDERAL  INCOME TAX
DISCUSSION SET FORTH BELOW IS INCLUDED HEREIN FOR GENERAL  INFORMATION  ONLY AND
DOES NOT PURPORT TO ADDRESS  ALL  ASPECTS OF TAXATION  THAT MAY BE RELEVANT TO A
PARTICULAR UNITHOLDER.  For example, this discussion does not address the effect
of any  applicable  foreign,  state,  local or other tax laws other than federal
income  tax  laws.  Certain  Unitholders  (including  trusts,  foreign  persons,
tax-exempt  organizations or corporations subject to special rules, such as life
insurance  companies  or S  corporations)  may be subject  to special  rules not
discussed below.  This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the  "Code"),  existing  regulations,  court  decisions and Internal
Revenue  Service  ("IRS")  rulings  and other  pronouncements.  EACH  UNITHOLDER
TENDERING  UNITS  SHOULD  CONSULT  SUCH  UNITHOLDER'S  OWN TAX ADVISOR AS TO THE
PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH UNITHOLDER OF ACCEPTING THE OFFER, INCLUDING
THE  APPLICATION OF THE  ALTERNATIVE  MINIMUM TAX AND FEDERAL,  FOREIGN,  STATE,
LOCAL AND OTHER TAX LAWS.

The following  discussion is based on the  assumption  that the  Partnership  is
treated as a partnership  for federal income tax purposes and is not a "publicly
traded partnership" as that term is defined in the Code.

Gain or Loss. A taxable  Unitholder will recognize a gain or loss on the sale of
such  Unitholder's  Units in an amount equal to the  difference  between (i) the
amount  realized  by such  Unitholder  on the sale and  (ii)  such  Unitholder's
adjusted tax basis in the Units sold. The amount  realized by a Unitholder  will
include the  Unitholder's  share of the  Partnership's  liabilities,  if any (as
determined  under  Code  section  752 and the  regulations  thereunder).  If the
Unitholder  reports  a loss  on the  sale,  such  loss  generally  could  not be
currently  deducted by such Unitholder except against such Unitholder's  capital
gains  from  other  investments.  In  addition,  such loss would be treated as a
passive activity loss. (See "Suspended Passive Activity Losses" below.)

The adjusted tax basis in the Units of a Unitholder  will depend upon individual
circumstances.  (See also "Partnership Allocations in Year of Sale" below.) Each
Unitholder who plans to tender  hereunder  should consult with the  Unitholder's
own tax advisor as to the  Unitholder's  adjusted tax basis in the  Unitholder's
Units and the resulting tax consequences of a sale.

If any portion of the amount  realized by a Unitholder is  attributable  to such
Unitholder's  share of "unrealized  receivables" or  "substantially  appreciated
inventory items" as defined in Code section 751, a corresponding portion of such
Unitholder's  gain or loss  will be  treated  as  ordinary  gain or loss.  It is
possible  that the basis  allocation  rules of Code  Section 751 may result in a
Unitholder's  recognizing  ordinary  income  with  respect to the portion of the
Unitholder's  amount realized on the sale of a Unit that is attributable to such
items while  recognizing  a capital  loss with  respect to the  remainder of the
Unit.

A tax-exempt  Unitholder  (other than an organization  described in Code Section
501(c)(7) (social club),  501(c)(9)  (voluntary  employee benefit  association),
501(c)(17) (supplementary  unemployment benefit trust), or 501(c)(20) (qualified
group legal services plan)) should not be required to recognize  unrelated trade
or business  income upon the sale of its Units  pursuant to the Offer,  assuming
that such  Unitholder does not hold its Units as a "dealer" and has not acquired
such Units with debt financed proceeds.


                                       12


<PAGE>



Partnership  Allocations  in  Year  of  Sale.  A  tendering  Unitholder  will be
allocated  the  Unitholder's  pro rata  share of the annual  taxable  income and
losses  from the  Partnership  with  respect  to the Units  sold for the  period
through  the date of sale,  even  though  such  Unitholder  will  assign  to the
Purchasers  their rights to receive certain cash  distributions  with respect to
such Units.  Such allocations and any Partnership  distributions for such period
would  affect a  Unitholder's  adjusted  tax basis in the  tendered  Units  and,
therefore,  the amount of gain or loss  recognized by the Unitholder on the sale
of the Units.

Possible Tax  Termination.  The Code provides that if 50% or more of the capital
and profits  interests in a  partnership  are sold or exchanged  within a single
12-month period,  such  partnership  generally will terminate for federal income
tax purposes.  It is possible,  although deemed by the Purchasers to be unlikely
(given  the  limited  number  of Units  subject  to the  Offer  and the  limited
secondary  market for the  Units),  that the  Partnership  could  terminate  for
federal income tax purposes as a result of consummation of the Offer. If so, the
Partnership  will be treated as having  made a  liquidating  distribution  of an
undivided interest in all of its assets to the Unitholders,  the partners of the
Partnership after consummation of the Offer (i.e., the nontendering  Unitholders
and the Purchasers) would be treated as having  recontributed their interests in
Partnership assets to the Partnership,  and the capital accounts of all partners
would  be  restated.  A  Unitholder  would  recognize  gain  on the  liquidating
distribution  only to the extent that the amount of cash deemed  distributed  to
the Unitholder  exceeded the Unitholder's  basis in the Units.  Depending on the
Unitholders'  bases  in  their  Units  and the  Partnership's  tax  basis in its
property,  a tax  termination  could affect,  perhaps  adversely,  the amount of
depreciation deductions reported by the Partnership for the period following the
date of such  termination.  A tax termination of the Partnership also could have
the adverse  effect on  Unitholders  whose tax year is not the calendar year, of
the inclusion of more than one year of  Partnership  tax items in one tax return
of such  Unitholders,  resulting in a "bunching" of income.  In addition,  a tax
termination  could have the  adverse  effect on  non-tendering  Unitholders  who
subsequently  dispose  of  their  Units at a gain of  requiring  them to treat a
greater  portion of such gain as ordinary income (due to the application of Code
Section 735) than would  otherwise be required  absent a tax  termination of the
Partnership.

Suspended  "Passive  Activity  Losses".  A  Unitholder  who  sells  all  of  the
Unitholder's Units would be able to deduct  "suspended"  passive activity losses
from the  Partnership,  if any, in the year of sale free of the passive activity
loss limitation.  As a limited partner of the Partnership,  which was engaged in
real estate activities,  the ability of a Unitholder, who or which is subject to
the passive  activity loss rules,  to claim tax losses from the  Partnership was
limited.  Upon sale of all of the Unitholder's  Units,  such Unitholder would be
able to use any "suspended"  passive activity losses first against gain, if any,
on sale of the Unitholder's Units and then against income from any other source.

Foreign  Unitholders.  Gain realized by a foreign Unitholder on a sale of a Unit
pursuant to the Offer will be subject to federal  income tax. Under Section 1445
of the Code, the  transferee of a partnership  interest held by a foreign person
is  generally  required to deduct and  withhold a tax equal to 10% of the amount
realized on the  disposition.  The  Purchasers  will  withhold 10% of the amount
realized by a tendering Unitholder from the purchase price payment to be made to
such Unitholder  unless the Unitholder  properly  completes and signs the FIRPTA
Affidavit  included  as  part  of  the  Letter  of  Transmittal  certifying  the
Unitholder's  TIN,  that  such  Unitholder  is  not a  foreign  person  and  the
Unitholder's  address.  Amounts  withheld would be creditable  against a foreign
Unitholder's  federal income tax liability and, if in excess  thereof,  a refund
could be obtained from the Internal  Revenue Service by filing a U.S. income tax
return.

Section 7. Effects of the Offer.

     Limitations  on  Resales.  The  Partnership  Agreement  does  not  restrict
transfers of Units, provided a transfer complies with any applicable
federal or state securities or tax laws. The General Partners have
announced that a court order in connection with a proposed settlement of a
class action lawsuit against one of the General Partners and certain of its
affiliates imposes certain restrictions on the rights of members of the
class, including the Unitholders, which, among other things, purport to
limit Unitholders' rights to transfer Units or commence tender offers. The
Purchasers are not members of the class involved

                                       13


<PAGE>



in the lawsuit,  as they are not current Unitholders,  and the  Purchasers
will agree to be bound by the terms of the proposed  settlement  with respect to
any Units purchased in connection with this Offer.  Accordingly,  the Purchasers
believe that transfers pursuant to the terms of the Offer will not conflict with
the court order as  described  in the  Partnership's  public  reports and do not
anticipate any  limitation on their right to acquire the Units,  or on the right
and power of the Unitholders to tender  their  Units in  connection  with this
Offer.

Effect on Trading Market.  There is no established public trading market for the
Units  and,  therefore,  a  reduction  in the number of  Unitholders  should not
materially  further  restrict the  Unitholders'  ability to find  purchasers for
their Units on any secondary market.

Voting Power of  Purchasers.  Based on the maximum  number of Units which may be
acquired by the Purchasers  pursuant to the Offer, the Purchasers would not have
the ability to exert any significant influence on matters subject to the vote of
Unitholders.

The Units are  registered  under the Exchange Act, which  requires,  among other
things that the Partnership  furnish certain  information to its Unitholders and
to the  Commission  and comply with the  Commission's  proxy rules in connection
with meetings of, and solicitation of consents from, Unitholders. The Purchasers
do not believe that the  purchase of Units  pursuant to the Offer will result in
the Units becoming eligible for deregistration under the Exchange Act.

Section 8. Future Plans.  Following the completion of the Offer, the Purchasers,
or their affiliates,  may acquire  additional Units. Any such acquisition may be
made through private purchases,  or by any other means deemed  appropriate.  Any
such   acquisition  may  be  at  a  consideration   higher  or  lower  than  the
consideration to be paid for the Units purchased pursuant to the Offer.

The  Purchasers  are  acquiring  the  Units  pursuant  to the Offer  solely  for
investment  purposes.  Although the Purchasers have no present intention to seek
control of the  Partnership  or to change the  management  or  operations of the
Partnership,  the  Purchasers  reserve the right,  at an  appropriate  time,  to
exercise  their  rights as  limited  partners  to vote on  matters  subject to a
limited  partner vote,  including a vote to cause the sale of the  Partnership's
remaining property and the liquidation and dissolution of the Partnership.

Section  9.  The  Business  of  the  Partnership.  Information  included  herein
concerning  the  Partnership  is derived from the  Partnership's  publicly-filed
reports.   Additional  information  concerning  the  Partnership,   its  assets,
operations  and  management is contained in its Annual  Reports on Form 10-K and
Quarterly  Reports  on Form  10-Q and  other  filings  with the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission.  Such reports and filings are available for  inspection at
the  Commission's  principal  office in  Washington,  D.C.  and at its  regional
offices in New York, New York and Chicago,  Illinois.  The Purchasers  expressly
disclaim any  responsibility  for the  information  included in such reports and
extracted in this discussion.

The Partnership was organized in 1986 as a Delaware limited  partnership for the
purpose of acquiring  tax-exempt  participating  first  mortgage  revenue  bonds
issued by various state and local  governments  or their agencies or authorities
and secured by first mortgages on multi-family residential real properties.  The
Partnership  invested  its capital in first  mortgage  bonds  secured by 16 real
properties.

Selected  Financial Data. Set forth below is a summary of certain financial data
for the  Partnership  which has been  excerpted  from the  Partnership's  Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.

         Section 12. Source of Funds. The Purchasers  expect that  approximately
$1,863,750  would be required to purchase  177,500  Units,  if tendered,  and an

         Section 13. Conditions of the Offer.  Notwithstanding any other term of
the Offer,  the Purchasers shall not be required to accept for payment or to pay

any court,  administrative agency or commission or other governmental  authority
or instrumentality,  domestic or foreign,  necessary for the consummation of the
transactions  contemplated  by the Offer shall not have been filed,  occurred or
been obtained.

         The  Purchasers  shall not be required to accept for payment or pay for
any Units not theretofore  accepted for payment or paid for and may terminate or
amend  the  Offer as to such  Units  if, at any time on or after the date of the
Offer and before the Expiration Date, any of the following conditions exists:

         (a) a preliminary or permanent injunction or other order of any federal
or state court,  government or governmental  authority or agency shall have been

acceptance  for  payment of or  payment  for any Units by the  Purchasers,  (ii)
imposes or confirms limitations on the ability of the Purchasers  effectively to
exercise full rights of ownership of any Units,  including,  without limitation,
the right to vote any Units acquired by the Purchasers  pursuant to the Offer or
otherwise on all matters properly  presented to the  Partnership's  Unitholders,
(iii)  requires  divestiture  by the  Purchasers  of any Units,  (iv) causes any

affect the  business,  properties,  assets,  liabilities,  financial  condition,
operations,  results  of  operations  or  prospectus  of the  Purchasers  or the
Partnership;

         (b) there shall be any action taken, or any statute,  rule,  regulation

directly or indirectly, result in any of the consequences referred to in clauses
(i) through (v) of paragraph (a) above;

         (c) any change or  development  shall have occurred or been  threatened
since  the  date  hereof,  in the  business,  properties,  assets,  liabilities,

materially adverse to the Partnership,  or the Purchasers shall have become
aware of any fact that, in the reasonable  judgment of the  Purchasers,  does or
may have a material adverse effect on the value of the Units;

         (d) there shall have occurred (i) any general suspension of trading in,

banking  moratorium  or any  suspension  of  payments in respect of banks in the

calamity  directly or  indirectly  involving the United  States,  (v) a material
change in United States or other  currency  exchange  rates or a suspension of a
limitation on the markets  thereof,  or (vi) in the case of any of the foregoing
existing at the time of the  commencement of the Offer, a material  acceleration
or worsening thereof; or

         (e) it shall have been publicly  disclosed or the Purchasers shall have
otherwise learned that (i) more than fifty percent of the outstanding Units have
been or are  proposed  to be  acquired by another  person  (including  a "group"
within the meaning of Section  13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), or (ii) any person
or group  that  prior to such date had  filed a  Statement  with the  Commission
pursuant to Sections  13(d) or (g) of the Exchange Act has increased or proposes
to increase  the number of Units  beneficially  owned by such person or group as
disclosed in such Statement by two percent or more of the outstanding Units.

         The foregoing conditions are for the sole benefit of the Purchasers and
may be asserted by the Purchasers regardless of the circumstances giving rise to
such  conditions  or may be waived by the  Purchasers in whole or in part at any
time and from time to time in their  sole  discretion.  Any  termination  by the
Purchasers  concerning the events described above will be final and binding upon
all parties.

         Section 14. Certain Legal Matters.

         General. Except as set forth in this Section 14, the Purchasers are not
aware of any  filings,  approvals  or other  actions by any  domestic or foreign
governmental  or  administrative  agency  that  would be  required  prior to the
acquisition  of Units by the Purchasers  pursuant to the Offer.  Should any such
approval or other action be required,  it is the Purchasers'  present  intention
that such  additional  approval  or action  would be sought.  While  there is no
present  intent to delay the  purchase of Units  tendered  pursuant to the Offer
pending  receipt  of any such  additional  approval  or the  taking  of any such
action,  there can be no assurance that any such additional  approval or action,
if needed,  would be obtained  without  substantial  conditions  or that adverse
consequences  might not result to the  Partnership's  business,  or that certain
parts of the  Partnership's  business  might not have to be  disposed of or held
separate or other substantial  conditions  complied with in order to obtain such
approval  or  action,  any of  which  could  cause  the  Purchasers  to elect to
terminate  the  Offer  without  purchasing  Units  thereunder.  The  Purchasers'
obligation  to  purchase  and pay for Units is subject  to  certain  conditions,
including conditions related to the legal matters discussed in this Section 14.

         Antitrust.  The Purchasers do not believe that the Hart-Scott-Rodino 
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, is applicable to the acquisition
of Units pursuant to the Offer.

         Margin  Requirements.  The Units are not "margin  securities" under the
regulations  of the  Board of  Governors  of the  Federal  Reserve  System  and,
accordingly, such regulations are not applicable to the Offer.

         State Takeover Laws. A number of states have adopted anti-takeover laws
which  purport,  to varying  degrees,  to be  applicable  to attempts to acquire
securities of corporations  which are  incorporated in such states or which have
substantial assets,  security holders,  principal executive offices or principal
places of  business  therein.  These laws are  directed  at the  acquisition  of
corporations and not  partnerships.  The Purchasers,  therefore,  do not believe
that any anti-takeover laws apply to the transactions contemplated by the Offer.

<PAGE>



         Although  the  Purchasers  have not  attempted to comply with any state
anti-takeover  statutes in connection with the Offer, the Purchasers reserve the
right to challenge  the  validity or  applicability  of any state law  allegedly
applicable  to the Offer and  nothing  in this  Offer  nor any  action  taken in
connection  herewith  is  intended  as a  waiver  of such  right.  If any  state
anti-takeover statute is applicable to the Offer, the Purchasers might be unable
to accept for payment or  purchase  Units  tendered  pursuant to the Offer or be
delayed in continuing or  consummating  the Offer.  In such case, the Purchasers
may not be obligated to accept for purchase or pay for any Units tendered.

         Section 15. Fees and Expenses.  The Purchasers have retained  MacKenzie
Patterson,  Inc.,  an affiliate of certain  Purchasers,  to act as Depositary in
connection with the Offer. The Purchasers will pay the Depositary reasonable and
customary  compensation  for its  services in  connection  with the Offer,  plus
reimbursement  for  out-of-pocket  expenses,  and will  indemnify the Depositary
against  certain  liabilities  and expenses in connection  therewith,  including
liabilities under the federal  securities laws. The Purchasers will also pay all
costs and expenses of printing, publication and mailing of the Offer.

         Section  16.  Miscellaneous.  THE OFFER IS NOT BEING  MADE TO (NOR WILL
TENDERS BE ACCEPTED FROM OR ON BEHALF OF)  UNITHOLDERS  IN ANY  JURISDICTION  IN
WHICH  THE  MAKING  OF THE  OFFER  OR THE  ACCEPTANCE  THEREOF  WOULD  NOT BE IN
COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAWS OF SUCH  JURISDICTION.  THE PURCHASERS ARE NOT AWARE OF
ANY  JURISDICTION  WITHIN THE UNITED  STATES IN WHICH THE MAKING OF THE OFFER OR
THE ACCEPTANCE THEREOF WOULD BE ILLEGAL.

         No person has been  authorized to give any  information  or to make any
representation on behalf of the Purchasers not contained herein or in the Letter
of Transmittal  and, if given or made, such information or  representation  must
not be relied upon as having been authorized.

the  amount of any  distributions  made or  declared  with  respect to the Units
between  the Offer Date and the  Expiration  Date,  and upon the other terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase,  dated April 24,

acknowledged.  

     The  undersigned  recognizes  that, if more than 177,500 Units are  validly

     Subject to and effective  upon  acceptance  for payment of any of the Units
tendered hereby, the undersigned hereby sells, assigns and transfers to, or upon
the order of,  Purchasers  all right,  title and  interest  in and to such Units
which are purchased  pursuant to the Offer. The undersigned  hereby  irrevocably

desirable to complete the  assignment,  transfer and purchase of Units  tendered
hereby.  

     The undersigned  understands  that a tender of Units to the Purchasers will
constitute a binding  agreement  between the undersigned and the Purchasers upon
the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer. The undersigned recognizes
the  right of the  Purchasers  to  effect a change of  distribution  address  to

          The person  signing this Letter of  Transmittal  hereby  certifies the

                  (i) The TIN set  forth in the  signature  box on the  front of
this Letter of Transmittal is the correct TIN of the Unitholder,  or if this box
[ ] is checked,  the  Unitholder  has applied for a TIN. If the  Unitholder  has

the  Unitholder  has mailed or delivered an  application to receive a TIN to the
appropriate  IRS Center or Social  Security  Administration  Office,  or (b) the

thereafter will be withheld until a TIN is provided to the Purchasers); and
                  (ii)  Unless this box [ ] is checked,  the  Unitholder  is not
subject to backup withholding either because the Unitholder:  (a) is exempt from
backup withholding,  (b) has not been notified by the IRS that the Unitholder is
subject to backup withholding a sa result of a failure to report all interest or
dividends, or (c) has been notified by the IRS that such Unitholder is no longer

          Under Section  1445(e)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code and Treas. Reg.
1.1445-11T(d),  a  transferee  must  withhold  tax  equal  to 10% of the  amount
realized with respect to certain  transfers of an interest in a  partnership  if
50% or more of the value of its gross  assets  consists  of U.S.  real  property
interests and 90% or more of the value of its gross assets consists of U.S. real
property  interests  plus cash  equivalents,  and the holder of the  partnership
interest is a foreign  person.  To inform the Purchasers  that no withholding is
required  with  respect to the  Unitholder's  interest in the  Partnership,  the
person signing this Letter of Transmittal  hereby  certifies the following under
penalties of perjury;
                  (i) Unless  this box [ ] is  checked,  the  Unitholder,  if an
individual,  is a U.S.  citizen or a resident alien for purposes of U.S.  income
taxation, and if other than an individual, is not a foreign corporation, foreign
partnership,  foreign estate or foreign trust (as those terms are defined in the
Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax  Regulations);  (ii) the Unitholder's  U.S.
social security number (for individuals) or employer  identification number (for
non-individuals)  is correctly printed in the signature box on the front of this
Letter  of   Transmittal;   and  (iii)  the   Unitholder's   home  address  (for
individuals), or office address (for non-individuals),  is correctly printed (or
corrected) on the front of this Letter of  Transmittal.  If a  corporation,  the
jurisdiction of incorporation is __________.

statements contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or both.

Transmittal  hereby  certifies under penalties of perjury that the Unitholder is
an "exempt  foreign person" for purposes of the backup  withholding  rules under

     3. U.S.  Persons.  A Unitholder  who or which is a United States citizen or
resident alien individual,  a domestic corporation,  a domestic  partnership,  a
domestic trust or a domestic estate  (collectively  "United States  persons") as
those terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax Regulations,

         Box B - Substitute  Form W-9. In order to avoid 31% federal  income tax
         backup  withholding,  the Unitholder must provide to the Purchasers the
         Unitholder's correct Taxpayer  Identification Number or Social Security

         pursuant to Section 1445 of the Internal  Revenue Code, each Unitholder
         who or which is a United States Person (as defined Instruction 3 above)
         must certify,  under  penalties of perjury,  the  Unitholder's  TIN and
         address,  and that the Unitholder is not a foreign person. Tax withheld
         under  Section 1445 of the Internal  Revenue Code is not an  additional
         tax. If  withholding  results in an overpayment of tax, a refund may be
         obtained from the IRS.

     4. Box D -  Foreign  Persons.  In order for a  Unitholder  who is a foreign
person  (i.e.,  not a United  States Person as defined in 3 above) to qualify as
exempt from 31% backup withholding,  such foreign Unitholder must certify, under
penalties  of perjury,  the  statement  in BOX D of this  Letter of  Transmittal
attesting to that foreign  person's  status by checking the box  preceding  such
statement.  However,  such  person will be subject to  withholding  of tax under

following any material change in the terms of the Offer,  other than a change in
price or a change in percentage of securities sought or a change in any dealer's
soliciting  fee,  will depend  upon the facts and  circumstances  including  the
materiality  of the  change  with  respect  to a change in price or,  subject to
certain limitations,  a change in the percentage of securities ought or a change
in any dealer's  soliciting fee. A minimum of ten business days from the date of
such  change is  generally  required  to allow  for  adequate  dissemination  to

(other than increases of not more than two percent of the outstanding  Units) or
decrease  the  number  of Units  being  sought,  or  increase  or  decrease  the
consideration  offered  pursuant to the Offer,  and if the Offer is scheduled to
expire at any time earlier than the period ending on the tenth business day from
the date that notice of such  increase or decrease is first  published,  sent or
given to  Unitholders,  the Offer will be extended at least until the expiration
of such ten business days. For purposes of the Offer, a "business day" means any
day other than a Saturday,  Sunday or federal  holiday and  consists of the time
period from 12:01 a.m. through 12:00 midnight, Pacific Daylight Time.

made only after  timely  receipt of the Letters of  Transmittal  (or  facsimiles
thereof),  properly  completed and duly  executed,  with any required  signature
guarantees, and any other documents required by such Letters of Transmittal.

to withdraw their  tendered  Units at any time prior to the  Expiration  Date by
sending a written or facsimile  transmission  notice of withdrawal to Purchasers

addition,  tendered  Units may be  withdrawn  at any time after  June 24,  1997,
unless the tender has theretofore been accepted for payment as provided above.
     If  tendering  Unitholders  tender  more  than the  number  of  Units  that
Purchasers  seek to purchase  pursuant to the Offer,  Purchasers  will take into
account the number of Units so tendered and take up and pay for as nearly as may
be pro rata, disregarding  fractions,  according to the number of Units tendered
by each  tendering  Unitholder  during the period during which the Offer remains
open.
