Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
        Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

               (1)  Liquidity

                    As of March 31, 1996,  Registrant  had cash of $9,178.  Such
funds are expected to be used to pay liabilities and general and  administrative
expenses  of  Registrant,  and to fund cash  deficits  of the  properties.  Cash
generated from operations is used primarily to fund operating  expenses and debt
service. If cash flow proves to be insufficient,  the Registrant will attempt to
negotiate loan modifications with the various lenders in order to remain current
on all  obligations.  The Registrant is not aware of any  additional  sources of
liquidity.

                    As of March 31,  1996,  Registrant  had  restricted  cash of
$100,493  consisting  primarily of funds held as security deposits,  replacement
reserves  and  escrows  for  taxes  and  insurance.  As  a  consequence  of  the
restrictions  as to use,  Registrant does not deem these funds to be a source of
liquidity.

                    In recent  years the  Registrant  has  realized  significant
losses,  including  the  foreclosure  of one  property,  due to the  properties'
inability to generate  sufficient cash flow to pay their operating  expenses and
debt  service.  At the present time,  with the exception of the Magazine  Place,
where  the  Registrant  does not  receive  any of the  distributable  cash,  the
Registrant  has feasible  loan  modifications  in place.  However,  in all three
cases,  the  mortgages  are  basically  "cash-flow"  mortgages,   requiring  all
available  cash after  payment  of  operating  expenses  to be paid to the first
mortgage  holder.  Therefore,  it is unlikely that any cash will be available to
the Registrant to pay its general and administrative expenses.

                    It is the  Registrant's  intention  to  continue to hold the
properties  until they can no longer meet the debt service  requirements and the
properties are foreclosed,  or the market value of the properties increases to a
point  where  they can be sold at a price  which  is  sufficient  to  repay  the
underlying indebtedness (principal plus accrued interest).

               (2)  Capital Resources

                    Due  to  the  relatively  recent   rehabilitations   of  the
properties,  any capital expenditures needed are generally replacement items and
are funded out of cash from  operations  or  replacement  reserves,  if any. The
Registrant  is not aware of any factors  which would  cause  historical  capital
expenditures  levels not to be indicative of capital  requirements in the future
and accordingly does not believe that it will have to commit material  resources
to  capital  investment  in the  foreseeable  future.  If the need  for  capital
expenditures  does arise,  the first mortgage  holder for Lincoln Court and 18th
and Green has agreed to fund capital  expenditures at terms similar to the first
mortgage.  The  mortgagee  funded  $47,265  during the first  quarter of 1996 at
Lincoln Court.

               (3)  Results of Operations

                    During the first quarter of 1996,  Registrant incurred a net
loss of $222,661 ($15.77 per limited partnership unit) compared to a net loss of
$478,145 ($33.86 per limited partnership unit) for the same period in 1995.

                    Rental income  decreased  $54,949 from $394,984 in the first
quarter of 1995 to $340,035 in the same period in 1996.  The  decrease  from the
first  quarter  of  1995  to the  same  period  in  1996  is the  result  of the
foreclosure  of Cathedral  Court in January 1996 and a decrease in rental income
due to a  decrease  in  average  occupancy  (93%  to 88%)  at the  Green  Street
Apartments  partially  offset by an increase in rental income due to an increase
in average  occupancy (76% to 89%) at Lincoln Court and an increase at the Loewy
Building due to average higher rental rates.

                    Expense  for rental  operations  decreased  by $66,454  from
$252,489  in the first  quarter of 1995 to  $186,035 in the same period in 1996.
The decrease from the first quarter of 1995 to the same period in 1996 is mainly
the result of the foreclosure of Cathedral Court partially offset by an increase
in maintenance,  commissions and management  fees expense.  Maintenance  expense
increased  due to  improvements  made at Lincoln  Court in order to attract more
tenants.  Commissions expense increased due to a higher turnover of the units at
the Green Street  Apartments and  commissions  paid on a lease  extension at the
Loewy Building with the tenant who leases 34% of the building.  Management  fees
expense increased due to higher rental income at the Loewy Building.

                    Interest expense  decreased by $160,224 from $384,279 in the
first  quarter of 1995 to $224,055 in the same period in 1996.  The  decrease is
mainly the result of the foreclosure of Cathedral  Court partially  offset by an
increase in interest expense at Lincoln Court due to a higher average balance of
the mortgage due to advances made by the mortgage holder.

                    Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $88,739 from
$206,450  in the first  quarter of 1995 to  $117,711 in the same period in 1996.
The decrease is the result of the foreclosure of Cathedral Court.

                    Losses  incurred  during  the  quarter  at the  Registrant's
properties  amounted to $173,000,  compared to a loss of approximately  $393,000
for the same period in 1995.

                    In the first quarter of 1996,  Registrant incurred a loss of
$70,000 at Lincoln Court including $34,000 of depreciation expense,  compared to
a  loss  of  $86,000  in  the  first  quarter  of  1995,  including  $34,000  of
depreciation expense. The decrease in the loss from the first quarter of 1995 to
the same period in 1996 is the result of an increase in rental  income due to an
increase in average  occupancy (76% to 89%)  partially  offset by an increase in
maintenance  and  interest  expense.   Maintenance   expense  increased  due  to
improvements  made at the property in order to attract more tenants and interest
expense  increased  due to a  higher  average  balance  of the  mortgage  due to
advances for the improvements made by the mortgage holder.

                    In the first quarter of 1996,  Registrant incurred a loss of
$48,000  at the Green  Street  Apartments,  including  $15,000  of  depreciation
expense, compared to a loss of $44,000 including $15,000 of depreciation expense
in the first quarter of 1995.  The increased loss is the result of a decrease in
rental income due to a decrease in average  occupancy (93% to 88%) combined with
an increase in commissions expense due to the higher turnover of units.

                    In the first quarter of 1996,  Registrant incurred a loss of
$55,000  at the Loewy  Building,  including  $65,000  of  depreciation  expense,
compared to a loss of $81,000 including  $65,000 of depreciation  expense in the
first quarter of 1995.  The decreased loss from the first quarter of 1995 to the
same period in 1996 is the result of an increase in rental income due to average
higher  rental  rates  partially  offset  by  an  increase  in  commissions  and
management  fee expense.  Management  fees expense  increased  due to the higher
rental income and commission expense increased due to a lease extension with the
tenant who leases 34% of the building.

                    In the first quarter of 1996,  Registrant incurred a loss of
$0 at  Cathedral  Court  compared  to a loss of  $182,000  including  $83,000 of
depreciation expense in the first quarter of 1995. The decrease in the loss from
the first quarter of 1995 to the same period in 1996 is due to the fact that the
property was foreclosed by the lender in January 1996. The Registrant  wrote off
the property as of December 31, 1995.

                    Summary of Minority Interests

                    In the first quarter of 1996, the Registrant  incurred a net
loss of  $3,686  at  Magazine  Place  compared  to income of $1,409 in the first
quarter of in 1995.  The Registrant  accounts for this  investment on the equity
method. The difference from the first quarter of 1995 to the same period in 1996
is a decrease in the average  occupancy  which  resulted in a decrease in rental
income.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

               In January 1990, Cathedral Court General Partnership  ("CCGP"), a
partnership  which  owned  the  Cathedral  Court  property,  and  in  which  the
Registrant  held a 99% interest,  filed a  reorganization  petition  pursuant to
Chapter 11 of the U.S.  Bankruptcy Code.  Although a plan of reorganization  was
filed, it was not approved.  Pursuant to a settlement agreement reached with the
first  mortgage  holder on July 31,  1993 the  bankruptcy  was  dismissed.  CCGP
anticipated that, subsequent to the bankruptcy's  dismissal,  the first mortgage
holder would attempt to sell the loan, but that the Registrant  would be given a
right of first refusal.  In September 1994, the first mortgage holder petitioned
the  Circuit  Court for the City of  Baltimore  in the matter of  Harrington  v.
Cathedral Court General  Partnership,  Case No.  89340045/CE  106281,  to have a
receiver appointed,  and such petition was granted.  Pursuant to the appointment
of the receiver,  CCGP was directed to deliver  immediate  possession of any and
all property connected with and used in the current operation of the property to
the receiver and on January 22, 1996 the lender foreclosed on the property.  The
Registrant wrote off the property as of December 31, 1995.
