ITEM 2 - Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
- ---------------------------------------------
Disposition of the J.C. Penney Credit Operations Center
- -------------------------------------------------------
On December 29, 1995, the Partnership sold the J.C. Penney Credit
Operations Center property in Albuquerque, New Mexico, for a net sales
price of approximately $5,392,000, after deductions for commissions and
selling expenses incurred in connection with the sale of the property.  The
sale of the property resulted in a non-recurring gain of approximately
$129,000, which represents the difference between the net sales price and
the property's net book value of approximately $5,263,000.

Based upon the General Partner's analysis of comparable sales transactions
and its review of the offers received during the property's marketing
period, the General Partner accepted the offer from 4580 Paradise Blvd.
Associates Limited Partnership (the "Buyer").  There is no relationship
between the Buyer and the Partnership or any associate, director or officer
of the General Partner.

The sale was made pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated November
20, 1995, which is included as Exhibit 1 of this report.

                 Notes to Pro Forma Financial Statements
                               (Unaudited)


Note 1 - J.C. Penney Credit Operations Center
- ---------------------------------------------
On December 29, 1995, the Partnership sold the J.C. Penney Credit
Operations Center property in Albuquerque, New Mexico, for a net sales
price of approximately $5,392,000, after deductions for commissions and
selling expenses incurred in connection with the sale of the property.  The
sale of the property resulted in a non-recurring gain of approximately
$129,000, which represents the difference between the net sales price and
the property's net book value of approximately $5,263,000.

The historical financial statements are adjusted to show the effects
resulting from the sale of the J.C. Penney Credit Operations Center
property on the Partnership's operations, assets and liabilities.  The Pro
Forma Balance Sheet at September 30, 1995 reflects the financial position
of the Partnership as if the J.C. Penney Credit Operations Center property
had been sold on September 30, 1995.  The Pro Forma Statement of Operations
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 reflects the continued
operations of the Partnership as if the J.C. Penney Credit Operations
Center property had been sold on December 31, 1994.  In addition, the Pro
Forma Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 1994 reflects
the continued operations of the Partnership as if the J.C. Penney Credit
Operations Center property had been sold on December 31, 1993.

Note 2 - Distributions and Allocations
- --------------------------------------
Distributable Cash from Operations, as defined in the Amended Agreement of
Limited Partnership of the Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement"), is
distributed 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partner.  The
Limited Partners' share of Distributable Cash from Operations is
distributed as follows:  first, to the Investors until they receive a 7%
non-cumulative, non-compounded annual cash return on their Invested
Capital, as defined in the Partnership Agreement; second, to the John
Hancock Limited Partner until it receives a 7% non-cumulative, non-
compounded annual cash return on its Invested Capital; and third, to the
Investors and the John Hancock Limited Partner in proportion to their
respective Capital Contributions, as defined in the Partnership Agreement.
However, any Distributable Cash from Operations which is available as a
result of the reduction of working capital reserves funded by Capital
Contributions of the Investors is distributed 100% to the Investors.

                               (Unaudited)

Note 2 - Distributions and Allocations (continued)
- --------------------------------------
Cash from Sales or Refinancings, as defined in the Partnership Agreement,
is first used to pay all debts and liabilities of the Partnership then due
and is then used to fund any reserves for contingent liabilities.  Cash
from Sales or Refinancings is then distributed as follows:  first, to the
Limited Partners until they receive an amount equal to their Invested
Capital with the distribution being made between the Investors and the John
Hancock Limited Partner in proportion to their respective Capital
Contributions; second, to the Investors until they have received, with
respect to all previous distributions during the year, their Cumulative
Return on Investment, as defined in the Partnership Agreement; third, to
the John Hancock Limited Partner until it has received, with respect to all
previous distributions during the year, its Cumulative Return on
Investment; fourth, to the General Partner to pay any Subordinated
Disposition Fees, as defined in the Partnership Agreement; and fifth, 99%
to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partner, with the
distribution being made between the Investors and the John Hancock Limited
Partner in proportion to their respective Capital Contributions.

Cash from the Sale of the last of the Partnership's properties is
distributed in the same manner as Cash from Sales or Refinancings, except
that before any other distribution is made to the Partners, each Partner
shall first receive from such cash, an amount equal to the then positive
balance, if any, in such Partner's Capital Account after crediting or
charging to such account the profits or losses for tax purposes from such
sale.  To the extent, if any, that a Partner is entitled to receive a
distribution of cash based upon a positive balance in its capital account
prior to such distribution, such distribution will be credited against the
amount of such cash the Partner would have been entitled to receive based
upon the manner of distribution of Cash from Sales or Refinancings, as
specified in the previous paragraph.

Profits from the normal operations of the Partnership for each fiscal year
are allocated to the Limited Partners and General Partner in the same
amounts as Distributable Cash from Operations for that year.  If such
profits are less than Distributable Cash from Operations for any year, they
are allocated in proportion to the amounts of Distributable Cash from
Operations for that year.  If such profits are greater than Distributable
Cash from Operations for any year, they are allocated 99% to the Limited
Partners and 1% to the General Partner, with the allocation made between
the John Hancock Limited Partner and the Investors in proportion to their
respective Capital Contributions.  Losses from the normal operations of the
Partnership are allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General
Partner, with the allocation made between the John Hancock Limited Partner
and the Investors in proportion to their respective Capital Contributions.
Depreciation deductions are allocated 1% to the General Partner and 99% to
the Investors, and not to the John Hancock Limited Partner.

Note 2 - Distributions and Allocations (continued)
- --------------------------------------
Profits and Losses from Sales or Refinancings are generally allocated 99%
to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partners.  In connection with
the sale of the last of the Partnership's properties, and therefore the
dissolution of the Partnership, profits will be allocated to any Partners
having a deficit balance in their Capital Account in an amount equal to the
deficit balance.  Any remaining profits will be allocated in the same order
as cash from the sale would be distributed.

                       PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT
                       ---------------------------


THIS AGREEMENT made and entered into as of the 20TH day of November, 1995
("the Execution Date"), by and between JOHN HANCOCK REALTY INCOME FUND
LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Massachusetts limited partnership, having its
principal address c/o The Real Estate Investment Group, John Hancock Place,
P.O. Box 111, Boston, Massachusetts 02117 (hereinafter "Seller"), and BGK
EQUITIES, INC., a New Mexico corporation, having an office address at 330
Garfield Street, #200, Santa Fe, New Mexico 87501 (hereinafter "Buyer");

                             WITNESSETH THAT:

   WHEREAS, Seller is the owner of the premises known as the J.C. Penney
Credit Processing Center and located at 4580 Paradise Boulevard, NW,
Albuquerque, New Mexico, improved with a building containing approximately
69,300 square feet of space ("the Premises"), more particularly described
on EXHIBIT A attached hereto and made a part hereof;

   WHEREAS, Buyer desires to purchase the Premises and acquire possession
thereof in accordance with the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

   NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set
forth the parties hereto mutually agree as follows:

   1.  PURCHASE PRICE.  The Premises are to be sold to Buyer for the sum
   of Five Million Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($5,600,000.00) ("the
   Purchase Price"), which Buyer shall pay to Seller on the Date of
   Closing by wiring immediately available Federal funds to such bank
   account as may be designated by Seller.

   2.  DEPOSIT.  Buyer paid $100,000.00 into an escrow account with United
   Title Company ("the Title Company"), pursuant to the Earlier Agreement,
   as a good faith deposit (hereinafter, said deposit and such interest as
   is earned thereon shall be referred to as "the Deposit"), which Deposit
   shall be disposed of in the manner herein provided.  If Buyer performs
   all of its obligations under this Agreement, the Deposit shall either
   be applied against the Purchase Price or returned by Seller to Buyer on
   the Date of Closing, as hereinafter provided.  If Seller shall be
   unable to deliver title and possession, as hereinafter provided, or if
   Buyer shall fail to perform any of its agreements hereunder, the
   Deposit shall be disposed of in the manner hereinafter provided.

   3.  CLOSING.  Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the deed
   shall be delivered at 1 o'clock P.M., Boston time, on December 20, 1995
   ("the Date of Closing" or "the Closing"), at the offices of the Title
   Company in Albuquerque, New Mexico, unless otherwise agreed upon in
   writing.

   4.  BUYER'S REVIEW.  Buyer shall have until 5 o'clock P.M., Boston
   time, on December 8, 1995 ("the Review Period") (a) to obtain and
   review a commitment for title insurance and a survey; (b) to make or
   have made such reasonable non-destructive inspections as it desires of
   the Premises, including, without limitation, the interior, exterior,
   
   <PAGE>
   and structure of all improvements, and the condition of soils and
   subsurfaces; and (c) to review all of Seller's financial records,
   contracts, and leases relating to the Premises.  All such items shall
   be obtained and reviewed at Buyer's sole cost and expense, except as
   otherwise expressly provided herein.  If Buyer has any objection to any
   of the matters set out in (a), (b), or (c) of this section 4, it may
   either notify Seller in writing of such objection on or before the end
   of the Review Period ("Notice of Objection"), provided that with such
   notice Buyer shall provide Seller with copies of all written materials
   which provide or evidence the basis of any such objection, or notify
   Seller in writing that this Agreement is terminated ("Notice of
   Termination").  Any matters not objected to in writing as herein
   provided shall be deemed waived.  Upon the expiration of the Review
   Period without Notice of Objection or Notice of Termination, as
   provided herein, or upon Seller's cure of Buyer's objections, as
   provided in the following paragraph, or upon Buyer's actual or deemed
   notification to Seller that Buyer will proceed notwithstanding Seller's
   failure to cure Buyer's objections, as provided in the following
   paragraph, the Deposit will become nonrefundable, except in the case of
   Seller's default hereunder.

       If Seller is unwilling or unable to correct to Buyer's satisfaction
   all defects to which Buyer has objected within 30 days after receipt of
   Notice of Objection (provided that correction of defects objected to in
   the title commitment or survey may be accomplished either by removing
   such defects or by arranging for the title insurance policy to insure
   over such defects; and provided further that Seller may use the
   Purchase Price or any portion thereof to cure any such defects which
   may be cured by instruments recorded on the Date of Closing, or later
   if arrangements are made which are satisfactory to Buyer and the Title
   Company), Seller shall, at any time before the end of said 30-day
   period, so notify Buyer, provided that if Seller fails to give such
   notice, Seller shall be deemed to have notified Buyer on the 30th day
   after receipt of Notice of Objection that Seller is unwilling or unable
   to cure all defects to which Buyer has objected.  Buyer shall, within
   ten days after Seller has given or is deemed to have given said notice,
   either (i) notify Seller that it shall waive said defect(s) and proceed
   to closing, as set out in section 3 hereof, or (ii) give Notice of
   Termination, provided that if Buyer fails to give such notice, Buyer
   shall be deemed to have notified Seller that it shall waive all defects
   and proceed to closing.
   
       Upon receipt of Notice of Termination the Deposit shall be refunded
   and this Agreement shall become null and void, and neither party shall
   be liable to the other for damages or otherwise, except as otherwise
   expressly provided herein.

   5.  CONDITION OF PREMISES.  Buyer and Seller agree that Buyer is
   acquiring the Premises and any related personal property in their "AS
   IS" condition, WITH ALL FAULTS, IF ANY, AND WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY,
   EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.  Neither Seller nor any agents, representatives, or
   employees of Seller have made any representations or warranties, direct
   or indirect, oral or written, express or implied, to Buyer or any
   agents, representatives, or employees of Buyer with respect to the
   condition of the Premises or personal property, their fitness for any
   particular purpose, or their compliance with any laws, and Buyer is not
   
                                   2
   <PAGE>
   aware of and does not rely upon any such representation to any other
   party.  Buyer acknowledges that the Purchase Price might be higher if
   Buyer were not acquiring the Premises and personal property in "as is"
   condition.  Buyer acknowledges that it either has had or will have
   before the Date of Closing the opportunity to make such inspections (or
   have such inspections made by consultants) as it desires of the
   Premises and personal property and all factors relevant to their use,
   including, without limitation, the interior, exterior, and structure of
   all improvements, and the condition of soils and subsurfaces
   (particularly with respect to the presence or absence of hazardous
   substances).

       After its inspections are completed, Buyer shall restore the
   Premises and personal property to their condition prior to Buyer's
   inspections.  Buyer agrees to indemnify Seller for all claims or
   damages arising out of Buyer's inspections, including, without
   limitation, claims for personal injury or property damage, and
   including all costs and attorneys' fees.  The obligations in this
   paragraph shall survive the Closing or the termination of this
   Agreement for any reason, including without limitation pursuant to
   section 4, 9, or 14 hereof.

       Buyer hereby releases Seller and its agents, representatives, and
   employees from any and all claims, demands, and causes of action, past,
   present, and future, that Buyer may have relating to (i) the condition
   of the Premises and the personal property at any time, before or after
   the Date of Closing, including, without limitation, the presence of any
   hazardous substance, or (ii) any other matter pertaining to the
   Premises or the personal property.  This release shall survive the
   Closing or the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

       Seller shall deliver possession to Buyer, subject to the matters
   set forth in section 7(a)(1) hereof, not later than the Date of
   Closing, provided that all the terms and conditions of this Agreement
   have been complied with.  Seller until the Date of Closing shall
   maintain, repair (subject to section 9 hereof), manage, and operate the
   Premises in a businesslike manner in accordance with Seller's prior
   practices; shall comply with its contractual obligations as owner of
   the Premises, including maintaining all service contracts that are in
   force on the date of execution hereof; shall maintain the types and
   amounts of insurance that are in force on the date of execution hereof;
   and shall not dissipate the Premises or remove any material property
   therefrom, except in the ordinary course of business.

   6.  ADJUSTMENTS AND PRORATIONS.  All taxes, including, without
   limitation, real estate taxes and personal property taxes, collected
   rents, charges for utilities, including water, sewer, and fuel oil, and
   for utility services, maintenance services, maintenance and service
   contracts, all salaries and wages, all operating costs and expenses,
   and all other income, costs, and charges of every kind which in any
   manner relate to the operation of the Premises (but not including
   insurance premiums) shall be prorated to the Date of Closing, except
   that if Seller does not receive the Purchase Price (by receipt of wired
   funds or by receipt in hand of an official bank cashier's check) by 1
   o'clock P.M., Boston time, on the Date of Closing, all prorations shall
   be made as of the following business day.  Seller shall be entitled to
   
                                   3
   <PAGE>
   all delinquent rents, without adjustment or appointment, irrespective
   of which party collects the same in the first instance, and Buyer shall
   pay any such delinquent rents to Seller forthwith upon receipt.  If the
   amount of said taxes, assessments, or rents is not known on the Date of
   Closing, they shall be apportioned on the basis of the amounts for the
   preceding year, with a reapportionment as soon as the new amounts can
   be ascertained.  If such taxes and assessments shall thereafter be
   reduced by abatement, the amount of such abatement, less the reasonable
   cost of obtaining the same, shall be apportioned between the parties,
   provided that neither party shall be obligated to institute or
   prosecute proceedings for an abatement unless otherwise agreed.  Buyer
   shall be responsible for the payment of any assessments or notice of
   assessments made after the date of execution hereof for any public
   improvement, provided Buyer takes title hereunder.  With respect to
   security deposits, if any, made by tenants on the Premises and actually
   received in hand by Seller, Buyer shall receive credit therefor in the
   proration of rents.  Any deposits on utilities paid by Seller shall be
   returned to Seller.  The foregoing provisions of this section shall not
   apply to any taxes, assessments, or other payments which are directly
   payable by tenants under their leases or reimbursable by such tenants
   to the owner of the Premises, as landlord, under their leases.  On the
   Date of Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer all inventories of
   supplies on hand at the Premises owned by Seller, if any, at no
   additional cost to Buyer.

   7.  CLOSING DOCUMENTS.  (a)  SELLER'S DELIVERIES.  Conditioned upon
   performance by Buyer hereunder, Seller shall execute and deliver to
   Buyer at the Closing the following documents ("Seller's Closing
   Documents"):
   
   (1)  DEED.  A special warranty deed conveying marketable title to the
   Premises subject to the following:

        (A)  All easements, conditions, restrictions, and reservations of
        record and all private and public rights in highways and rights-of-
        way;

        (B)  All building and zoning laws, ordinances, and State and
        Federal regulations;

   9.  CASUALTY OR CONDEMNATION.  In the event that prior to the Date of
   Closing either the improvements on the Premises are damaged or
   destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other cause, or any portion
   of the Premises becomes the subject of a condemnation proceeding by a
   public or quasi-public authority having the power of eminent domain,
   then either (a) the parties shall proceed with the transaction
   contemplated herein, in which event Buyer shall be entitled to receive
   any insurance or condemnation proceeds, or (b) in the event such
   damage, destruction, or condemnation involves, in the reasonable
   estimation of Seller, a loss in an amount in excess of ten per cent
   (10%) of the Purchase Price, or loss of all or a material portion of
   access to the Premises, either party, at its option, may terminate this
   Agreement by notice to the other within ten (10) days of Buyer's
   receipt of Seller's notice of such damage or proceeding, in which case
   the Deposit shall be refunded, and thereafter neither party shall have
   any further obligation or liability to the other by virtue of this
   Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

   10.  INSURANCE.  Seller shall not be obligated to assign to Buyer any
   fire, hazard, or liability insurance policies which it holds respecting
   the Premises, and Seller shall have the right to any and all refunds or
   rebates resulting from the termination of such policies.

   11.  BROKER'S COMMISSION.  Buyer and Seller each hereby warrants and
   represents to the other that it has dealt with no broker or finder in
   connection with this transaction except Jack Dailey of CB Commercial,
   Inc. ("the Broker"), and that it is not affiliated with the Broker in
   any way.  Buyer and Seller each hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the
   other harmless from and against any and all claims for brokerage or
   finder's fees or other similar commissions or compensation made by any
   and all other brokers or finders claiming to have dealt with it in
   connection with this Agreement or the consummation of the transaction
   contemplated hereby.  The obligations in this section shall survive the
   Closing or the termination of this Agreement for any reason, including
   without limitation pursuant to section 4, 9, or 14 hereof.

   12.  SELLER'S PERFORMANCE.  The acceptance of Seller's Closing
   Documents  by Buyer shall be deemed to be a full performance and
   discharge of every agreement and obligation of Seller herein contained
   and expressed, except such as are, by the terms hereof, to be performed
   after the delivery of said instruments.

   13.  RECORDING PROHIBITED.  This Agreement shall not be recorded with
   Bernalillo County Records or in any other office or place of public
   record.  If Buyer shall record this Agreement or cause or permit the
   same to be recorded, Seller may, at its option, elect to treat such act
   as a default by Buyer under this Agreement.
   
                                   6

   14.  REMEDIES.  If Seller defaults under this Agreement, Buyer's sole
   remedy, at law or in equity, shall be one of either (a) the return of
   the Deposit to Buyer, whereupon the obligations of Seller under this
   Agreement shall terminate; or (b) the right to obtain specific
   performance of Seller's obligation to convey the Premises pursuant to
   this Agreement, provided that in no event shall Seller be obliged to
   (i) cure defects objected to by Buyer pursuant to section 4 hereof;
   (ii) expend money or post a bond to remove or insure over a title
   defect or encumbrance or to correct any matter shown on a survey of the
   Premises; or (iii) secure any permit, approval, or consent with respect
   to the Premises.  In no event shall any officer, director, employee,
   agent, or representative of Seller have any personal liability in
   connection with this Agreement or transaction.

       If Buyer defaults under this Agreement, the sole remedy of Seller
   shall be to retain the Deposit, which sum the parties fix and settle as
   liquidated damages for such default of Buyer.  Nothing in this
   paragraph shall limit the express provisions of this Agreement
   obligating one party hereto to indemnify the other or to restore the
   Premises, including without limitation sections 5 and 12 hereof.

   15.  ASSIGNMENT.  This Agreement may not be assigned by Buyer without
   the express written consent of Seller, which consent Seller may in its
   sole discretion withhold, except that Buyer may, without Seller's
   consent, assign this Agreement to a limited partnership of which Buyer
   (or a principal of Buyer) or any parent or any wholly owned subsidiary
   of Buyer are the sole general partners.  No such assignment shall
   operate to relieve Buyer from any obligation hereunder.

   16.  WAIVER.  No waiver of any breach of any agreement or provision
   contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of any preceding or
   succeeding breach of any other agreement or provision herein contained.
   No extension of time for the performance of any obligation or act shall
   be deemed an extension of time for the performance of any other
   obligation or act.

   17.  TIME.  It is agreed that time is of the essence of this Agreement.

   18.  GOVERNING LAW.  This Agreement shall be construed under the laws
   of the state in which the Premises are located.

   19.  NOTICES.  All notices required or permitted to be given hereunder
   shall be in writing and sent by overnight delivery service (such as
   Federal Express), in which case notice shall be deemed given on the day
   after the date sent, or by personal delivery, in which case notice
   shall be deemed given on the date received, or by certified mail, in
   which case notice shall be deemed given three (3) days after the date
   sent, or by fax (with copy by overnight delivery service), in which
   case notice shall be deemed given on the date sent, to the appropriate
   address indicated below or at such other place or places as either
   Buyer or Seller may, from time to time, respectively, designate in a
   written notice given to the other in the manner described above.
