                                  Part I

Item 1 - Business

The Registrant, John Hancock Realty Income Fund Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership"), is a limited partnership organized on June 12, 1986 under
the Massachusetts Uniform Limited Partnership Act.  As of December 31,
1995, the partners in the Partnership consisted of John Hancock Realty
Equities, Inc. (the "General Partner"), John Hancock Realty Funding, Inc.
(the "John Hancock Limited Partner"), and 4,222 Investor Limited Partners
(the "Investors") owning 91,647 Units of Investor Limited Partnership
Interests (the "Units").  The John Hancock Limited Partner and the
Investors are collectively referred to as the Limited Partners.  The
initial capital of the Partnership was $2,000 representing capital
contributions of $1,000 from the General Partner and $1,000 from the John
Hancock Limited Partner.  During the offering period, the John Hancock
Limited Partner made additional capital contributions of $7,330,760.  There
have been no changes in the number of Units outstanding subsequent to the
termination of the offering period.  The Amended Agreement of Limited
Partnership of the Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement") authorized the
sale of up to 100,000 Units of Investor Limited Partnership Interests.

The Units were offered and sold to the public during the period from
September 9, 1986 to September 9, 1987, pursuant to a Registration
Statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of 1933.  The Partnership
sold the Units for $500 per Unit.  No established public market exists on
which the Units may be traded.

The Partnership is engaged in the business of acquiring, improving, holding
for investment and disposing of existing, income-producing, commercial and
industrial properties on an all-cash basis, free and clear of mortgage
indebtedness.  Although the Partnership's properties were acquired and are
held free and clear of mortgage indebtedness, the Partnership may incur
mortgage indebtedness on its properties under certain circumstances, as
specified in the Partnership Agreement.

The latest date on which the Partnership is due to terminate is December
31, 2016, unless it is sooner terminated in accordance with the terms of
the Partnership Agreement.  It is expected that in the ordinary course of
the Partnership's business, the properties of the Partnership will be
disposed of, and the Partnership terminated, before December 31, 2016.
















                                    3

Item 1 - Business (continued)

The Partnership's equity real estate investments are subject to various
risk factors.  Although the risks of equity investing are reduced when
properties are acquired on an unleveraged basis, the major risk of owning
income-producing properties is the possibility that the properties will not
generate income sufficient to meet operating expenses and to fund adequate
reserves for repairs, replacements, contingencies and anticipated
obligations.  The income received from properties may be affected by many
factors, including:  i) adverse changes in general economic conditions and
local conditions, such as competitive over-building, a decrease in
employment, or adverse changes in real estate zoning laws, which may reduce
the desirability of real estate in the area or ii) other circumstances over
which the Partnership may have little or no control, such as fires,
earthquakes and floods.  To the extent that the Partnership's properties
are leased in any substantial portion to a specific retail, industrial or
office tenant, the financial failure of any such major tenant, resulting in
the termination of the tenant's lease or non-payment of rentals due, would
likely cause at least a temporary reduction in cash flow from any such
property and might result in a decrease in the market value of that
property.

On October 24, 1986, the Partnership acquired 1300 North Dutton Avenue, an
office/industrial facility located in Santa Rosa, California.  The tenant
that had leased all of the rentable space at the property did not renew its
lease and vacated its space when its lease expired on January 31, 1995.
Since that time the entire property has been vacant, and the General
Partner has been actively seeking a replacement tenant, or tenants, for the
property.  Real estate market conditions for office/industrial space in
Santa Rosa have declined since the Partnership acquired the 1300 North
Dutton Avenue property.  The General Partner anticipates that, due to a
lack of demand for office/industrial space in Santa Rosa, market conditions
will remain competitive during 1996.

On February 17, 1987, the Partnership acquired the Marlboro Square Shopping
Center, a neighborhood shopping center located in Marlboro, Massachusetts.
Market conditions in Marlboro have weakened since the Partnership acquired
the property and have remain depressed.  An excess of supply over demand
for retail space has resulted in continued high vacancy rates and
competitive pricing for leasing space in the area in which Marlboro Square
is located.  In addition, a new retail development within close proximity
to Marlboro Square is scheduled for completion during the Fall of 1996.
The General Partner anticipates that absorption of existing retail space in
the Marlboro area will remain sluggish during 1996 due to both the lack of
demand and the pending increase in available retail space in the area.  The
General Partner will continue to offer competitive rental rates and
concessions at Marlboro Square in an effort to retain existing tenants and
to lease the remaining vacant space at the property.

Item 1 - Business (continued)

On November 20, 1987, the Partnership acquired the Crossroads Square
Shopping Center, a neighborhood shopping center located in Jacksonville,
Florida.  Although real estate market conditions for retail properties in
Jacksonville have declined as compared to when the Partnership acquired the
property, occupancy levels and rental rates within the market have
stabilized over recent years and remain relatively favorable.  The General
Partner anticipates that relatively favorable retail market conditions in
Jacksonville and at the property should continue during 1996.

On December 22, 1987, the Partnership acquired the Carnegie Center, a
multi-tenant office/industrial facility located in Cincinnati, Ohio.  Since
the Partnership acquired the Carnegie Center, the Cincinnati industrial
real estate market has experienced an oversupply of office/industrial
space, which has resulted in a decline in rental rates and an increase in
vacancy rates.  In addition, during 1994 a tenant that had occupied 45% of
the Carnegie Center property did not renew its leases upon their
expirations and, as a result, the property's occupancy declined to 35%.
During 1995, the General Partner signed leases with new tenants to occupy
approximately 35,000 square feet of space and signed a lease with an
existing tenant for a reduced amount of space.  As a result of these
leases, occupancy at the Carnegie Center increased to 56% at December 31,
1995.  The General Partner anticipates that market conditions in Cincinnati
will remain competitive during 1996 and, therefore, it will continue to
offer competitive rental rates and concessions in an effort to further
increase occupancy at Carnegie Center.

On February 25, 1988, the Partnership acquired the Warner Plaza Shopping
Center, a neighborhood shopping center located in Chandler, Arizona.  The
Partnership acquired Warner Plaza exclusive of areas totaling 55,562
rentable square feet owned by a non-affiliate of the Partnership.
Although, real estate market conditions have declined in the Chandler area
as compared to when the Partnership acquired the property, population,
employment and retail sales have increased in recent years and the property
is 100% occupied at December 31, 1995.  The General Partner anticipates
favorable retail market conditions in Chandler during 1996 and that the
property should provide the Partnership with stable income performance
during 1996.

Item 1 - Business (continued)

On September 13, 1988, the Partnership acquired the J.C. Penney Credit
Operations Center, an office/service center located in Albuquerque, New
Mexico and 100% occupied by J.C. Penney.  J.C. Penney's lease had been
scheduled to expire during 1996; however, during the first quarter of 1995,
the General Partner negotiated an extension of the lease through June 2006.
In connection with the extension of the lease, the tenant was granted an
option to terminate its lease effective on any date on or after July 1,
2002.  Due to the extension of J.C. Penney's lease at the property and
current favorable real estate market conditions in Albuquerque, New Mexico,
the General Partner listed the J.C. Penney Credit Operations Center for
sale during July 1995.  On December 29, 1995, the Partnership sold the J.C.
Penney Credit Operations Center to a non-affiliated buyer for a gross sales
price of $5,600,000 and received net sales proceeds of $5,392,032, after
deductions for commissions and selling expenses incurred in connection with
the sale of the property.  During February 1996, the Partnership
distributed $5,315,526 of the net sales proceeds, of which $4,582,350 was
distributed to the Investors and $733,176 was distributed to the John
Hancock Limited Partner.  The remaining net sales proceeds of $76,506 were
retained in the Partnership's working capital reserves.

Within the power accorded to the General Partner under the terms of the
Partnership Agreement, the General Partner contracted, effective as of
January 1, 1992, with Hancock Realty Investors Incorporated ("HRI"), a
wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance
Company ("John Hancock"), to assist the General Partner in the performance
of its management duties as enumerated in the Partnership Agreement.
Effective May 28, 1993, HRI subcontracted with John Hancock to assist HRI
in the performance of its duties as enumerated in the January 1, 1992
contract.  The Partnership has not incurred any additional costs or
expenses as a result of these agreements.  The General Partner is further
described in Item 10 ("Directors and Executive Officers of the
Partnership") of this Report.

Industry segment information has not been provided since the Partnership is
engaged in only one industry segment.

Item 2 - Properties

As of December 31, 1995, the Partnership held the following properties in
its portfolio:

1300 North Dutton Avenue Office Complex
- ---------------------------------------
On October 24, 1986, the Partnership purchased the 1300 North Dutton Avenue
office building ("1300 North Dutton Avenue"), located in Santa Rosa,
California, from a non-affiliated seller.  The property consists of one
building with 24,120 rentable square feet of office space.  The building
and two adjacent buildings comprise "Park Campus", an association which in
common owns a 5.9 acre parcel with landscaping and parking serving all
three buildings.  1300 North Dutton Avenue's allocation of interest in Park
Campus is approximately 32% and includes the exclusive right to use 95
parking spaces.



                                    6
<PAGE>
Item 2 - Properties (continued)

At December 31, 1995, the entire building was unoccupied.  The former
tenant at the property, North American Mortgage Company ("NAMC"), did not
renew its lease and vacated its space when its lease expired on January 31,
1995.  The General Partner has been actively seeking a replacement tenant,
or tenants, for the property.

Marlboro Square Shopping Center
- -------------------------------
On February 17, 1987, the Partnership purchased the Marlboro Square
Shopping Center ("Marlboro Square"), located in Marlboro, Massachusetts,
from a non-affiliated seller.  The property consists of two freestanding
buildings.  One of the buildings contains 39,150 rentable square feet, and
the other building contains 3,000 rentable square feet, for a total of
42,150 rentable square feet of space.

For the year ended December 31, 1995, the average occupancy of Marlboro
Square was 73%.

Crossroads Square Shopping Center
- ---------------------------------
On November 20, 1987, the Partnership purchased the Crossroads Square
Shopping Center ("Crossroads Square"), located in Jacksonville, Florida,
from a non-affiliated seller.  Crossroads Square contains 174,196 rentable
square feet of space with a total land area in excess of 18.5 acres.

For the year ended December 31, 1995, the average occupancy of Crossroads
Square was 94%.

Carnegie Center Office/Warehouse
- --------------------------------
On December 22, 1987, the Partnership purchased Carnegie Center, located in
Cincinnati, Ohio, from a non-affiliated seller.  The property consists of
two buildings containing an aggregate of 128,059 rentable square feet with
a total land area of approximately 7.8 acres.

For the year ended December 31, 1995, the average occupancy of Carnegie
Center was 47%.  At December 31, 1995 the property was 63% occupied.

Warner Plaza Shopping Center
- ----------------------------
On February 25, 1988, the Partnership purchased 92,848 rentable square feet
of the Warner Plaza Shopping Center ("Warner Plaza") (which consists of a
total of 148,410 rentable square feet), located in Chandler, Arizona, from
a non-affiliated seller.

For the year ended December 31, 1995, average occupancy, for the portion of
Warner Plaza which is owned by the Partnership, was 99%.

The foregoing properties are described more fully in Items 1, 2 and 7 and
Note 4 to the Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Report.





                                    7
<PAGE>
Item 3 - Legal Proceedings

In February 1996, a putative class action complaint was filed in the
Superior Court in Essex County, New Jersey by a single investor in a
limited partnership affiliated with the Partnership.  The complaint named
as defendants the Partnership, the General Partner, certain other
affiliates of the General Partner, and certain unnamed officers, directors,
employees and agents of the named defendants.

The plaintiff sought unspecified damages stemming from alleged
misrepresentations and omissions in the marketing and offering materials
associated with the Partnership and two limited partnerships affiliated
with the Partnership.  The complaint alleged, among other things, that the
marketing materials for the Partnership and the affiliated limited
partnerships did not contain adequate risk disclosures.

The General Partner believes the allegations are totally without merit and
will vigorously contest the action.

There are no other material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary
routine litigation incidental to the business of the Partnership, to which
the Partnership is a party or to which any of its properties is subject.

Item 4 - Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders of the
Partnership during the fourth quarter of 1995.

                                 Part II

Item 5 - Market for the Partnership's Securities and Related Security
Holder Matters

(a)  Market Information

The Partnership's outstanding securities consist of 91,647 Units originally
sold for $500 per Unit.  The Units were offered and sold to the public
during the period from September 9, 1986 to September 9, 1987.  No
established public market exists on which the Units may be traded.
Consequently, holders of Units may not be able to liquidate their
investments in the event of an emergency, or for any other reason.
Additionally, the assignment or other transfer of Units would be subject to
compliance with the minimum investment and suitability standards imposed by
the Partnership or by applicable law, including state "Blue Sky" laws.

(c)  Dividend History and Restrictions

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Partnership
distributed each year cash in the aggregate amount of $2,314,318 from
Distributable Cash from Operations (defined in the Partnership Agreement).
These amounts were allocated 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the
Limited Partners, in accordance with the terms of the Partnership
Agreement.  The John Hancock Limited Partner did not receive any
Distributable Cash from Operations.

The following table reflects cash distributions made during 1994 and 1995:

</TABLE>
The source of future cash distributions is dependent upon cash generated by
the Partnership's investments and the use of working capital reserves for
leasing costs and capital expenditures.  Cash distributions during the year
ended 1995 represent a 5% return on initial Investor capital. The General
Partner anticipates that the Partnership will make cash distributions in
1996 comparable to those made during both 1995 and 1994.  For further
discussion on the financial condition and results of operations of the
Partnership see Item 7 of this Report.

Results of Operations

General
- -------
During the offering period from September 9, 1986 to September 9, 1987, the
Partnership sold 91,647 Units representing gross proceeds (exclusive of the
John Hancock Limited Partner's contribution which was used to pay sales
commissions, acquisition fees and organizational and offering expenses) of
$45,823,500.  The proceeds of the offering were used to acquire investment
properties and fund reserves.  These properties are described more fully in
Item 2 and Note 4 to the Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this
Report.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
At December 31, 1995, the Partnership had $8,397,420 in cash and cash
equivalents, $4,946 in restricted cash and $44,659 in long-term restricted
cash.  The Partnership's cash and cash equivalents increased by $5,272,421
from December 31, 1994 to December 31, 1995 primarily due to the sale of
the J.C. Penney Credit Operations Center on December 29, 1995.

The Partnership has established a working capital reserve with a current
balance of approximately 5% of the offering proceeds.  The General Partner
anticipates that such amount should be sufficient to satisfy the
Partnership's general liquidity requirements.  Liquidity would, however, be
materially adversely affected by a significant reduction in revenues or
significant unanticipated operating costs or unanticipated capital
expenditures.  If any or all of these events were to occur, to the extent
that working capital reserves would be insufficient to satisfy the cash
requirements of the Partnership, it is anticipated that additional funds
would be obtained through a further reduction of cash distributions to
Investors, bank loans, short-term loans from the General Partner or its
affiliates or the sale or financing of Partnership properties.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)
- -------------------------------
During the first quarter of 1995, J.C. Penney, the sole tenant at the J.C.
Penney Credit Operations Center, extended its lease through June 2006.  In
connection with the extension of the lease, the tenant was granted an
option to terminate its lease effective on any date on or after July 1,
2002.  The Partnership did not incur any leasing costs in connection with
this lease extension.  Due to the extension of J.C. Penney's lease at the
property and current favorable real estate market conditions in
Albuquerque, New Mexico, the General Partner listed the J.C. Penney Credit
Operations Center for sale during July 1995.  On November 20, 1995, the
General Partner entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement on behalf of the
Partnership for the sale of the J.C. Penney Credit Operations Center
property to a non-affiliated buyer (the "Buyer") for a gross sales price of
$5,600,000.  On December 29, 1995, the Partnership sold the J.C. Penney
Credit Operations Center to the Buyer and received net sales proceeds of
$5,392,032, after deductions for commissions and selling expenses incurred
in connection with the sale of the property.  On February 15, 1996,
$5,315,526 of these proceeds was distributed to the Investors and the John
Hancock Limited Partner in accordance with the terms of the Partnership
Agreement and $76,506 was retained in the Partnership's working capital
reserves.  This transaction generated a non-recurring gain of $128,539,
representing the difference between the net sales price and the property's
net book value of $5,263,493.  For the year ended December 31, 1995, the
J.C. Penney Credit Operations Center generated approximately 25% of the
Partnership's net cash provided by operations.

During 1994, a tenant that had occupied 45% of the Carnegie Center property
did not renew its leases upon their expirations and, as a result, the
property's occupancy declined to 35%.  During 1995, four new tenants
entered into leases representing an aggregate of approximately 35,000
square feet, or 27% of the property.  The Partnership incurred
approximately $110,000 in leasing costs in connection with these leases.

During 1995, two tenants' leases representing an aggregate of approximately
19,200 square feet, or 15% of the Carnegie Center property, expired.  One
tenant, who occupied approximately 16,100 square feet, or 13% of the
property, through September 1995, signed a new lease for a reduced amount
of space totaling approximately 8,000 square feet, or 6% of the property.
The Partnership paid approximately $6,500 in leasing costs during 1995 in
connection with this lease.  The second tenant, who occupied approximately
3,100 square feet, or 2% of the property, remained at the property on a
month-to-month basis subsequent to its lease expiration in March 1995.
This tenant has subsequently entered into a new lease for approximately
7,000 square feet, or 5% of the property, that commenced in March 1996.
The Partnership expects to incur approximately $15,500 in leasing costs
during 1996 in connection with this lease.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)
- -------------------------------
The Carnegie Center property was 56% occupied at December 31, 1995 and is
59% occupied as of the date hereof.  During 1996, two leases representing
an aggregate of approximately 14,100 square feet, or 11% of the property,
are scheduled to expire.  The General Partner continues to actively seek
new tenants for the remaining vacant space.  Should additional tenants not
be located to take occupancy of the remaining vacant space at the Carnegie
Center property, the Partnership's liquidity would be materially adversely
affected.  Rental rates and concessions are priced competitively in an
effort to secure new tenants as well as retain existing tenants at the
property.

The tenant that had leased all of the rentable space at the 1300 North
Dutton Avenue property did not renew its lease and vacated its space when
its lease expired on January 31, 1995.  Due to competitive market
conditions and a lack of demand for office space in the Santa Rosa real
estate market, the General Partner has not yet secured a replacement
tenant, or tenants, for the property.  Should the vacant space not be
leased in the near future, the Partnership's liquidity would be adversely
affected.  For the year ended December 31, 1994, the 1300 North Dutton
Avenue property generated approximately 10% of the Partnership's net cash
provided by operations.  The General Partner will continue to offer
aggressive rental packages in an effort to secure a new tenant, or tenants,
for the space.

The anchor tenant at the Marlboro Square Shopping Center property occupying
approximately 16,000 square feet, or 38% of the property, under a lease
which was scheduled to expire in October 1996, and whose operations at the
property have declined due to the existence of major competitors in the
Marlboro Square area, requested a reduction in its rental payments.  After
a detailed review of the Marlboro Square market and the tenant's
operations, the General Partner agreed to a reduced rental amount in return
for an agreement from the tenant to extend its lease term.  Effective June
1, 1995, the tenant's rent was reduced through October 1996, the end of its
original lease term, in exchange for an extension of the lease relating to
approximately 12,000 square feet, or 28% of the property, through 2005.
The Partnership paid $21,000 in leasing costs in connection with this lease
during 1995.

At December 31, 1995, Marlboro Square's occupancy was 69%.  During 1995,
two tenants holding leases representing an aggregate of approximately 4,750
square feet, or 11% of Marlboro Square, vacated their space.  One tenant
which had occupied approximately 3,150 square feet, or 7% of the property,
under a lease that expired in October 1994, remained at the property under
a month-to-month lease through January 1995.  The second tenant which had
occupied approximately 1,600 square feet, or 4% of the property, under a
lease that expired in September 1995, continued to occupy its space under a
month-to-month lease through December 31, 1995.  During 1995, the General
Partner signed a lease with a new tenant to occupy approximately 4,000
square feet, or 9% of the property.  This lease commenced in January 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)
- -------------------------------
During 1996, four leases representing an aggregate of approximately 6,800
square feet, or 16% of the Marlboro Square property, are scheduled to
expire.  One of these tenants, whose lease represents approximately 1,600
square feet, or 4% of the property, has notified the General Partner that
it will not renew its lease and will vacate the property.  In addition, one
tenant with a lease representing approximately 3,000 square feet, or 7% of
the property, and whose lease originally expired during 1994, continues to
occupy the property under a month-to-month lease.

Leasing activity at the Marlboro Square property continues to be limited
due to the sluggish demand for retail space in the Marlboro, Massachusetts
area.  In addition, a new retail development near to Marlboro Square is
scheduled to be completed during the Fall of 1996.  The General Partner
anticipates that absorption of existing retail space in the Marlboro area
will remain sluggish during 1996 due to both the lack of demand and the
pending increase in available retail space in the area.  However, the
General Partner believes that the extension of the anchor tenant's lease at
Marlboro Square may have a favorable impact on efforts to secure additional
tenants at the property.  The General Partner will continue to offer
competitive rental rates and concessions in an effort to retain existing
tenants as well as to lease the remaining vacant space at the property.

At December 31, 1995, Crossroads Square's occupancy was 93%.  During 1995,
a tenant that had occupied approximately 7,200 square feet, or 4% of the
property, vacated its space.  This tenant did not renew its lease upon its
expiration in December 1994 but remained at the property under a month-to-
month lease through March 1995.  During the third quarter of 1995, one
lease representing approximately 6,500 square feet, or 4% of the property,
was scheduled to expire.  The tenant holding this lease exercised its
option to renew the lease for an additional one-year period.  Aside from
this lease, there are no significant leases scheduled to expire at the
property during 1996.  The General Partner will continue its efforts to
retain existing tenants as well as to secure new tenants for the remaining
vacant space at Crossroads Square.

At December 31, 1995, Warner Plaza was fully occupied.  During 1995, two
new leases representing an aggregate of approximately 4,200 square feet, or
5% of the property, were entered into with new tenants.  There are no
leases scheduled to expire at Warner Plaza during 1996.

During 1995, cash from working capital reserves was used for the payment of
leasing costs in the aggregate amount of $236,542 incurred at the Carnegie
Center, Marlboro Square, Crossroads Square and Warner Plaza properties.
The General Partner estimates that the Partnership will incur approximately
$719,000 of leasing costs at its properties during 1996.  Of this amount,
approximately $317,000 and $242,000 are expected to be incurred at the
Carnegie Center and 1300 North Dutton Avenue properties, respectively, in
connection with the Partnership's efforts to secure new tenants at these
properties.  The General Partner anticipates that the current balance in
the working capital reserve should be sufficient to pay such costs.

Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and

Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)
- -------------------------------
During the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, approximately $167,000
and $86,000, respectively, of cash from operations was used to fund non-
recurring maintenance and repair expenses incurred at the Partnership's
properties.  The General Partner estimates that the Partnership will incur
approximately $107,000 of non-recurring maintenance and repair expenses at
its properties during 1996.  These expenses will be funded from the
operations of the Partnership's properties and are not expected to have a
significant impact on the Partnership's liquidity.

Cash in the amount of $2,314,318, generated from the Partnership's
operations, was distributed to the General Partner and the Limited Partners
during 1995.  This amount was allocated 1% to the General Partner and 99%
to the Investors, in accordance with the Partnership Agreement, and
represented a 5% return on initial Investor capital.  The General Partner
currently anticipates that the Partnership will be able to make comparable
cash distributions during 1996.

The General Partner had the 1300 North Dutton Avenue Office Complex
property independently appraised during the third quarter of 1995.  Based
upon the appraiser's investigation and analysis, the property's market
value was estimated to be approximately $1,725,000.  The net book value of
the 1300 North Dutton Avenue Office Complex property of approximately
$2,101,000 at December 31, 1995 was evaluated in comparison to its
estimated future undiscounted cash flows and the recent independent
appraisal and, based upon such evaluation, the General Partner determined
that no permanent impairment in value existed and that a write-down in
value was not required.  The Partnership's cumulative investment in the
property, before accumulated depreciation and property write-downs, is
approximately $3,378,000.

During 1994, the General Partner evaluated the carrying value of the
Carnegie Center property by comparing it to its future undiscounted cash
flows and its then most recent internal appraisal in order to determine
whether a permanent impairment in value existed.  Based on such evaluation,
the General Partner determined that a write-down of $512,000 was required
to reflect the estimated permanent impairment in the value of the Carnegie
Center property.  Lower rental rates and weak absorption of available
office/industrial properties in Cincinnati, Ohio, in general, have resulted
in a decline in this property's market value.  The carrying value of the
Carnegie Center property at December 31, 1995 was evaluated in comparison
to its estimated future undiscounted cash flows and its then most recent
internal appraisal and, based upon such evaluation, the General Partner
determined that no further permanent impairment in value existed and,
therefore, an additional write-down in value was not required as of
December 31, 1995.

- -------------------------------
The General Partner also evaluated the carrying value of each of the
Partnership's other properties as of December 31, 1995 by comparing such
value to the respective property's future undiscounted cash flows and the
then most recent internal appraisal.  Based on such evaluations, the
General Partner determined that no permanent impairment in values exist
with respect to these properties and no write-downs were recorded as of
December 31, 1995.  The General Partner will continue to conduct property
valuations, using internal or independent appraisals, in order to determine
whether a permanent impairment in value exists on any of the Partnership's
properties.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Net income for the year ended December 31, 1995 was $1,551,706 as compared
to $1,497,221 in 1994 and $1,684,608 in 1993.  Included in the results for
1995 is a non-recurring gain in the amount of $128,539 resulting from the
sale of the J.C. Penney Credit Operations Center on December 29, 1995.
Included in the results for 1994 is a write-down of $512,000 of the value
of the Carnegie Center property.  Excluding these amounts, net income
decreased in 1995 as compared to both 1994 and 1993 due to declines in the
performance of the Carnegie Center, 1300 North Dutton Avenue and Marlboro
Square properties.  These declines were partially offset by increases in
the performance of the Crossroads Square and Warner Plaza properties.

Average occupancy for the Partnership's properties was as follows:

Results of Operations (continued)
- ---------------------
Rental income for the year ended December 31, 1995 decreased by $553,075,
or 15%, as compared to 1994 and by $453,694, or 13%, as compared to 1993.
These decreases were primarily due to declines in rental income at the 1300
North Dutton Avenue, Marlboro Square and Carnegie Center properties which
were partially offset by increases in rental income at the Crossroads
Square and Warner Plaza properties.  Rental income at the 1300 North Dutton
Avenue property decreased by 92% in 1995 as compared to 1994 and by 90% as
compared to 1993 due to the expiration on January 31, 1995 of the lease
held by the sole tenant at the property.  Rental income at the Marlboro
Square property decreased by 23% in 1995 as compared to 1994 and by 28% as
compared to 1993, primarily due to declines in average occupancy between
years.  Rental income at Marlboro Square declined further in 1995 due to a
significant reduction in the rental rate paid by the anchor tenant since
June 1, 1995.  Rental income at the Carnegie Center property decreased by
39% in 1995 as compared to 1994 and by 55% as compared to 1993 primarily
due to a significant decrease in average occupancy at the property.  Rental
income at the Crossroads Square property increased by 4% in 1995 as
compared to 1994 primarily due to an increase in the rental rates paid by
certain tenants and increased by 33% as compared to 1993 primarily due to
an increase in average occupancy.  Rental income at the Warner Plaza
property increased by 6% in 1995 as compared to 1994 and by 8% as compared
to 1993 primarily due to an increase in average occupancy as well as
increases in rental rates paid by certain tenants.  Rental income at the
J.C. Penney property was consistent between years.

Interest income for the year ended December 31, 1995 increased by $62,304,
or 56%, and $101,729, or 142%, as compared to 1994 and 1993, respectively.
These increases were primarily due to an increase in the interest rates
earned on the Partnership's working capital reserves during 1995 as well as
an increase in the amount of such reserves.

During 1995, the Partnership collected approximately $82,000 from the
former tenant at the 1300 North Dutton Avenue property because of
alterations it made to the property without the consent of the General
Partner, as required under the terms of its lease agreement.  The General
Partner has decided, however, not to return the space to its original form
because real estate brokers in the Santa Rosa area where this property is
located have stated that the alterations made to the property will not have
a negative impact on the General Partner's efforts to lease the property.

The Partnership's share of property operating expenses for the year ended
December 31, 1995 increased by $173,463, or 55%, as compared to 1994, and
by $75,266, or 18%, as compared to 1993.

Results of Operations (continued)
- ---------------------
Property operating expenses at the Carnegie Center property increased by
142% as compared to 1994 and by 233% as compared to 1993.  These increases
in the Partnership's share of property operating expenses are primarily due
to a decline in average occupancy at the property and, therefore, a decline
in tenant reimbursements for such expenses.  In addition, the property
incurred approximately $87,000, $31,000 and 26,000 in non-recurring
maintenance and repair expenses during 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
These amounts were primarily incurred to better market vacant space at the
property.

The Partnership's share of property operating expenses at Marlboro Square
increased by 39% in 1995 as compared to 1994 and by 60% as compared to
1993.  This increase is primarily due to a decrease in occupancy at the
property, and therefore, decreases in tenant reimbursements for such
expenses.  Minor increases in real estate taxes, maintenance and repair
expenses and management fees also contributed to the increase in 1995 as
compared to 1994 and 1993.

The Partnership's share of property operating expenses increased at the
Warner Plaza property by 22% in 1995 as compared to 1994 and by 42% as
compared to 1993.  The property incurred approximately $54,000, $32,000 and
$32,000 of non-recurring maintenance and repair expenses during 1995, 1994
and 1993, respectively.  Excluding these amounts, the Partnership's share
of property operating expenses at Warner Plaza increased by 21% in 1995 as
compared to 1994 and decreased by 6% as compared to 1993.  The increase in
1995 as compared to 1994 is primarily due to an increase in real estate
taxes.  The decrease in the Partnership's share of property operating
expenses in 1995 as compared to 1993 is primarily due to an increase in
average occupancy, and, therefore, an increase in tenant reimbursements for
such expenses.

The Partnership's share of property operating expenses at the Crossroads
Square property increased by 25% as compared to 1994 and decreased by 78%
as compared to 1993.  The property incurred approximately $22,000, $14,000
and $34,000 of non-recurring maintenance and repair expenses during 1995,
1994 and 1993, respectively.  Excluding these amounts, the Partnership's
share of property operating expenses was consistent in 1995 as compared to
1994 and decreased by 89% as compared to 1993.  This decrease in 1995 as
compared to 1993 was primarily due to an increase in average occupancy,
and, therefore, an increase in tenant reimbursements for such expenses.

The Partnership's share of property operating expenses at the 1300 North
Dutton Avenue property decreased by 22% in 1995 as compared to 1994 and by
37% as compared to 1993.  The sole tenant occupying the 1300 North Dutton
Avenue property did not renew its lease upon its expiration on January 31,
1995 and vacated its space during 1994.  As a result, only minor routine
maintenance expenses have been incurred subsequent to the tenant vacating
the space, resulting in a decrease in the Partnership's share of property
operating expenses during 1995 as compared to 1994 and 1993.

The Partnership's share of property operating expenses at the J.C. Penney
Credit Operations Center was consistent between periods.

Results of Operations (continued)
- ---------------------
General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 1995
increased by $34,662, or 17%, as compared to 1994, and by $21,798, or 10%,
as compared to 1993.  The increase in 1995 as compared to 1994 and 1993 is
primarily due to an increase in the time required to be expended by the
General Partner and expenses incurred in connection with managing the
Partnership's properties, including actions taken in the attempt to
increase their occupancies and sell the J.C. Penney Credit Operations
Center.  In addition, general and administrative expenses increased during
1995 as compared to both 1994 and 1993 due to an increase in postage
charges on investor mailings resulting from the increase in postal rates.

Amortization of deferred expenses for the year ended December 31, 1995
decreased by $15,174, or 10%, as compared to 1994, and by $79,527, or 37%,
as compared to 1993.  The decrease in 1995 as compared to 1994 was
primarily due to the expiration of certain leases at the 1300 North Dutton
Avenue, Marlboro Square and Warner Plaza properties and the full
amortization of the related deferred leasing costs.  This decrease in 1995
as compared to 1994 was partially offset by an increase in deferred
expenses relating to leasing costs incurred at the Carnegie Center property
during 1995.  The decrease in 1995 as compared to 1993 was also primarily
due to the expiration of certain leases at the 1300 North Dutton Avenue,
Marlboro Square and Warner Plaza properties as well as the Carnegie Center
property.  In addition, included in the results for 1993 is a non-recurring
$17,903 write-off of unamortized leasing costs relating to tenants at the
Carnegie Center who vacated their space at the property prior to their
lease termination dates.  The decrease in amortization in 1995 as compared
to 1993 was partially offset by an increase in deferred expenses relating
to leasing costs incurred at the Carnegie Center property during 1995 and
the Crossroads Square property in 1994.  Also, during the third quarter of
1993 the Partnership reduced the amortization period for its deferred
acquisition costs from thirty years, the estimated useful life of the
buildings owned by the Partnership, to four and one-half years, the then
estimated remaining life of the Partnership.

As referred to above, during 1994, the General Partner determined that the
value of the Carnegie Center property had been permanently impaired.  As a
result, the carrying value of the property was reduced by $512,000 and this
amount was charged directly to operations.

Management fee expense paid to the General Partner during the year ended
December 31, 1995 was consistent with 1994 and decreased by $5,162, or 6%,
as compared to 1993.  This decrease was due to the decline in Cash from
Operations (defined in the Partnership Agreement).  Cash from Operations
decreased during 1995 as compared to 1993 as a result of an increase in the
amount of funds from the Partnership's operations used to replenish working
capital reserves during 1994 and 1995.

The General Partner believes that inflation has had no significant impact
on the Partnership's operations during the last three fiscal years, and the
General Partner anticipates that inflation will not have a significant
impact during 1996.

The amount distributed to Investors from Distributable Cash from Operations
represents a 5% annualized return to all Investors of record at December

able to make cash distributions from Distributable Cash from Operations in
each of the four quarters of 1996 comparable to those made during 1995.

Item 13 - Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

See Note 6 of the Notes to the Financial Statements included in Item 8 of
this Report for a description of certain transactions and related amounts
paid by the Partnership to the General Partner and its Affiliates during
the years ended 1995, 1994 and 1993.

In accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the General
Partner and/or its Affiliates are entitled to the following types of
compensation, fees, profits/(losses), expense reimbursements and
distributions:

The General Partner is entitled to receive a Partnership Management Fee
(defined in the Partnership Agreement) for managing the normal operations
of the Partnership in an amount equal to 3.5% of cash flow from operations.
The General Partner was paid a Partnership Management Fee totaling $83,939,
$83,939 and $89,101 during the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and
1993, respectively.

An Affiliate of the General Partner is entitled to receive a Property
Management Fee (defined in the Partnership Agreement) for providing
property management services to the Partnership's properties.  The
Partnership is obligated to pay a fee equal to the amount customarily
charged in arms-length transactions by other entities rendering services in
an area where the Partnership's properties are located, but in no event may
such fees exceed 6% of the gross receipts of any property under management.
To date, no Affiliate of the General Partner has provided property
management services to the Partnership's properties; therefore, the
Partnership did not pay any such fees during the years ended December 31,
1995, 1994 or 1993.

The General Partner and its Affiliates are entitled to receive
reimbursement for expenses relating to the administrative services
necessary to the prudent operation of the Partnership, such as legal,
accounting, computer, transfer agent and other services.  The amounts
charged to the Partnership for such administrative services may not exceed
the lesser of the General Partner's or such Affiliates' costs or 90% of
those which the Partnership would be required to pay to independent parties
for comparable services in the same or comparable geographic locations.
The Partnership reimbursed the General Partner for $151,675, $118,293 and
$133,054 of such expenses during the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994
and 1993, respectively.

Upon disposition of any property, the General Partner is entitled to a
Subordinated Disposition Fee (defined in the Partnership Agreement) in the
amount of 3% of the sales price of each property sold.  However, no such
Subordinated Disposition Fees may be paid to the General Partner unless and
until the Investors and the John Hancock Limited Partner have received a
return of their total Invested Capital (defined in the Partnership
Agreement) plus the Cumulative Return on Investment (defined in the
Partnership Agreement) of 12% per annum for all fiscal years ended prior to
the date of payment.  Such Subordinated Disposition Fees may not exceed 50%
of the competitive real estate commission in the area where the property is
located or, together with any other brokerage commission payable to or by
any other person, exceed 6% of the contract sales price of such property.
The Partnership did not pay any such fees to the General Partner during the
years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 or 1993.

Item 13 - Certain Relationships and Related Transactions (continued)

A share of the Partnership's Distributable Cash from Operations (defined in
the Partnership Agreement) may be distributed to the General Partner and
the John Hancock Limited Partner.  Distributable Cash from Operations is
distributable 1% to the General Partner and the remaining 99% among the
Investors, the General Partner and the John Hancock Limited Partner, in
accordance with Section 8 of the Partnership Agreement (described more
fully in Note 3 to the Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this
Report).  The General Partner's Share of Distributable Cash from Operations
was $23,143, $23,143 and $25,458 for the years ended December 31, 1995,
1994 and 1993, respectively.  In accordance with the Partnership Agreement,
the John Hancock Limited Partner was not entitled to receive any such
distributions during the 1995, 1994 and 1993 fiscal years.

A share of Cash from Sales or Financings (defined in the Partnership
Agreement) may be distributable to the General Partner and the John Hancock
Limited Partner.  Cash from Sales or Financings are distributable in
accordance with Section 8 of the Partnership Agreement (described more
fully in Note 3 to the Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this
Report).  The John Hancock Limited Partner's share of Cash from Sales or
Financings was $733,176, $0, and $0 during the years ended December 31,
1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.  In accordance with the Partnership
Agreement, the General Partner was not entitled to receive any such
distributions during the years ended 1995, 1994 or 1993.

A share of the Partnership's profits or losses for tax purposes (defined in
the Partnership Agreement) is allocable to the General Partner and the John
Hancock Limited Partner.  Such allocation generally approximates, insofar
as practicable, their percentage share of Distributable Cash from
Operations and of Cash from Sales or Financings.  The General Partner is
generally allocated 1% of the Partnership's losses for tax purposes, while
the John Hancock Limited Partner is allocated tax losses associated with
the Partnership's sales commissions funded by the John Hancock Limited
Partner's Capital Contributions.  The General Partner's share of such
profits or losses were profits of $14,802, $21,281 and $18,263 during the
years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.  The John
Hancock Limited Partner's share of such profits or losses were losses of
$74,321 during the year ended December 31, 1995 and $56,684 in each of the
years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993.

                      Report of Independent Auditors



To the Partners
John Hancock Realty Income Fund Limited Partnership

We  have  audited  the accompanying balance sheets of John  Hancock  Realty
Income  Fund Limited Partnership as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and  the
related statements of operations, partners' equity and cash flows for  each
of  the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995.  Our audits also
included  the  financial statement schedule listed in  the  index  at  Item
14(a).   These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility  of
the  Partnership's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits in accordance with generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the  audit  to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of  material  misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test  basis,
evidence   supporting  the  amounts  and  disclosures  in   the   financial
statements.   An  audit  also includes assessing the accounting  principles
used  and  significant estimates made by management, as well as  evaluating
the  overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our  audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In  our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in  all  material respects, the financial position of John  Hancock  Realty
Income  Fund  Limited Partnership at December 31, 1995 and  1994,  and  the
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in
the  period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally  accepted
accounting  principles.   Also,  in  our  opinion,  the  related  financial
statement  schedule,  when considered in relation to  the  basic  financial
statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the
information set forth therein.

           JOHN HANCOCK REALTY INCOME FUND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                  (A Massachusetts Limited Partnership)

                      NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization of Partnership
   ---------------------------
     John Hancock Realty Income Fund Limited Partnership (the
     "Partnership") was formed under the Massachusetts Uniform Limited
     Partnership Act on June 12, 1986.  As of December 31, 1995, the
     Partnership consisted of John Hancock Realty Equities, Inc. (the
     "General Partner"), a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of John
     Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company; John Hancock Realty Funding,
     Inc. (the "John Hancock Limited Partner"); and 4,222 Investor Limited
     Partners (the "Investors"), owning 91,647 Units of Investor Limited
     Partnership Interests (the "Units").  The John Hancock Limited Partner
     and the Investors are collectively referred to as the Limited
     Partners.  The initial capital of the Partnership was $2,000,
     representing capital contributions of $1,000 from the General Partner
     and $1,000 from the John Hancock Limited Partner.  The Amended
     Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership (the "Partnership
     Agreement") authorized the issuance of up to 100,000 Units of Limited
     Partnership Interests at $500 per unit.  During the offering period,
     which terminated on September 9, 1987, 91,647 Units were sold and the
     John Hancock Limited Partner made additional capital contributions of
     $7,330,760.  There have been no changes in the number of Units
     outstanding subsequent to the termination of the offering period.  The
     Partnership is engaged in the business of acquiring, improving,
     holding for investment and disposing of existing, income-producing,
     commercial and industrial properties on an all-cash basis, free and
     clear of mortgage indebtedness.  Although the Partnership's properties
     were acquired and are held free and clear of mortgage indebtedness,
     the Partnership may incur mortgage indebtedness on its properties
     under certain circumstances, as specified in the Partnership
     Agreement.

     The latest date on which the Partnership is due to terminate is
     December 31, 2016, unless it is sooner terminated in accordance with
     the terms of the Partnership Agreement.  It is expected that in the
     ordinary course of the Partnership's business, the properties of the
     Partnership will be disposed of, and the Partnership terminated,
     before December 31, 2016.

2. Significant Accounting Policies
   -------------------------------
     The Partnership maintains its accounting records and recognizes rental
     revenue on the accrual basis.

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
     and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
     liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
     date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue
     and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results may differ
     from those estimates.

                NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
     -------------------------------------------
     Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with maturities of
     three months or less when purchased.  These investments are recorded
     at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates market value.
     Restricted cash represents funds restricted for tenant security
     deposits and other escrows, and has been designated as short or long-
     term, based upon the term of the related lease agreement.

     Investments in property are recorded at cost less any property write-
     downs for permanent impairment in values.  Cost includes the initial
     purchase price of the property plus acquisition and legal fees, other
     miscellaneous acquisition costs, and the cost of significant
     improvements.

     Depreciation has been provided on a straight-line basis over the
     estimated useful lives of the various assets:  thirty years for the
     buildings and five years for related improvements.  Maintenance and
     repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

     Deferred expenses relating to tenant improvements and lease
     commissions are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of
     the leases to which they relate.  During 1993, the Partnership reduced
     the period over which its remaining deferred acquisition fees are
     amortized from thirty years, the estimated useful life of the
     buildings owned by the Partnership, to four and one-half years, the
     then estimated remaining life of the Partnership.

     The net income per Unit for each year is computed by dividing the
     Investors' share of net income by the number of Units outstanding
     during each year.

     No provision for income taxes has been made in the financial
     statements as such taxes are the responsibility of the individual
     partners and not of the Partnership.

     In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No.
     121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-
     Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of", which requires impairment losses to
     be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of
     impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be
     generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying value.
     Statement No. 121 also addresses the accounting for long-lived assets
     that are expected to be disposed of.  The Partnership adopted
     Statement No. 121 in the fourth quarter of 1995.  The effect of
     adoption is not material.

3. The Partnership Agreement
   -------------------------
     Distributable Cash from Operations (defined in 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 (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 (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 will be distributed 100% to the
     Investors.

     Cash from Sales or Financings (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 Financings 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 (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 (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 to
     be distributed in the same manner as Cash from Sales or Financings,
     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 Financings, as specified in the
     previous paragraph.

3. The Partnership Agreement (continued)
   -------------------------
     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.

     Profits and Losses from Sales or Financings 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.

4. Investment in Property
   ----------------------
     Investment in property at cost and reduced by write-downs consists of

     Operations Center to a non-affiliated buyer for a gross sales price of
     $5,600,000 and received net sales proceeds of $5,392,032, after
     deductions for commissions and selling expenses incurred in connection
     with the sale of the property.  This transaction resulted in a non-
     recurring gain of $128,539, representing the difference between the
     net sales price and the property's net book value of $5,263,493.

4. Investment in Property (continued)
   ----------------------
     The real estate market is cyclical in nature and is materially
     affected by general economic trends and economic conditions in the
     market where a property is located.  As a result, determination of
     real estate values involves subjective judgments.  These judgments are
     based on current market conditions and assumptions related to future
     market conditions.  These assumptions involve, among other things, the
     availability of capital, occupancy rates, rental rates, interest rates
     and inflation rates.  Amounts ultimately realized from each property
     may vary significantly from the values presented and the differences
     could be material.  Actual market values of real estate can be
     determined only by negotiation between the parties in a sales
     transaction.

     During the year ended December 31, 1994, the Partnership reduced the
     carrying value of the Carnegie Center property by $512,000.

     The Partnership leases its properties to non-affiliated tenants under
     primarily long-term operating leases.

     At December 31, 1995, future minimum rentals on non-cancelable leases
     relating to the above properties were as follows:

                         1996             $2,375,735
                         1997              2,185,431
