March 31, 1996 and 1995 and the statement of  partners' capital
(deficit) for the three months ended March 31, 1996.  Results of
operations for the period are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year.

Paragraph (a)(5).



Part 1, Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                 and Results of Operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The Partnership's primary assets are its zero coupon mortgage
loans.  The Partnership originally held two zero coupon first
mortgage loans and two zero coupon second mortgage loans.  During
1993, the loan secured by EQK Green Acres Mall was repaid
together with a prepayment premium.  In early 1994, the loan
secured by 417 Fifth Avenue was retired by means of a transaction
which resulted in the receipt of proceeds upon sale of that
property.  Below is a summary of the status of the Partnership's
two remaining loans secured by Laurel Centre Mall and the Grand
Hyatt San Francisco.

Laurel Centre Loan - The Partnership holds a 24% interest in a zero
coupon first mortgage loan in the original amount of $5,555,431.
The mortgage note will mature in October 1996, with a fully
accreted value of $57,894,075.  At March 31, 1995, Laurel Centre
was 84.6% occupied, compared with 90.2% a year earlier.  Tenant
sales at the mall (excluding anchor tenants) totaled $6.9 million
in the first two months of 1996, compared with $7.5 million in
the first two months of 1995.

At January 1, 1996 the mall had an appraised value of
$77,000,000. The mortgage agreement specifically provides for an
annual covenant with which the borrower must comply.  The
covenant provides that the current accrued value of the zero
coupon loan shall not exceed 70% of the most recent appraised
value of the Property.  Based upon the appraised value at
January 1, 1996, this covenant was met at December 31, 1995.

Although the January 1, 1996 appraised value of the property was
in excess of the fully accreted amount of the Partnership's first
mortgage loan, the potential for the Partnership to collect its
portion of the loan at maturity in October of this year will
depend upon the borrower's ability to refinance or sell the
property in the prevailingly unfavorable market for retail
properties. As the maturity date draws closer, the General
Partner is monitoring the situation closely, and will consider
all available alternatives to maximize the Partnership's loan
interest in the property.  As a result of the uncertainty of the
ability of the borrower to pay-off the loan at maturity, the loan
is impaired.  However, the General Partner believes that the
Partnership will ultimately collect its share of the contractual
amounts due on the loan plus additional interest, if any.

During 1993 Kemper Investors Life Insurance Company ("Kemper")
sold its 76% participating interest in the Laurel Centre loan to
a real estate mortgage investment conduit.  The sale of Kemper's
participating interest to a real estate conduit may affect the
Borrower's ability to refinance or restructure the loan.

Union Square Loan - The Partnership holds a zero coupon second
mortgage in the original amount of $13,325,000 funded to Union
Square Hotel Partners L.P. ("Union Square," formerly Shearson
Union Square Associates L.P.), which owns the Grand Hyatt San
Francisco Hotel (the "Hotel") located in San Francisco,
California.  The Partnership's loan is subordinate to a first
mortgage held by the Bank of Nova Scotia (the "Bank") in the
original principal amount of $70,000,000.  On June 30, 1992,
Union Square consummated a restructuring of its financing and
property management arrangements with the Bank, the Partnership
and certain other creditors.  Under the restructuring, the terms
of the first, second, and third mortgages and the Hotel
management agreement were modified.  As part of the
restructuring, the Partnership agreed to extend the maturity date
of its loan to January 1999, should the first mortgagee also
choose to extend its loan to such date.  Accordingly, the
Partnership may be required to hold its loan beyond the original
maturity date of January 2, 1997.  A detailed description of the
terms of the restructuring is incorporated herein by reference to
the Partnership's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on July 14, 1992.

The restructuring was designed to help the Hotel overcome the
difficulties in the San Francisco market.  The Hotel has reported
improved operating results since the June 1992 restructuring of
its debt, as market conditions in the San Francisco hospitality
industry have improved.  Average occupancy and room rates at the
Hotel were 81.4% and $146.66 for the first quarter of 1996
compared to 78.5% and $136.97 for the corresponding period in
1995.  Although the Hotel has generated sufficient cash flow to
meet its quarterly debt service payments on its first mortgage
through April 1996, there is no assurance the Hotel will be able
to fund future minimum debt service payments, which increase over
time.  In April 1993, an affiliate of the Union Square general
partner elected not to renew its guarantee of the minimum debt
service payment under the restructured first mortgage.  The
affiliate of the Union Square general partner indicated that it
would evaluate the future need for additional funding support on
a quarterly basis.  If required, the Union Square general partner
is prepared to request an additional loan to supplement cash flow
from the Hotel, however, there is no assurance that such loan
will be provided.

During the third quarter of 1992, the Partnership received an
appraisal that indicated that the Hotel's value was insufficient
to collateralize its loan.  Accordingly, the General Partner
fully reserved the carrying value of the loan during the third
quarter of 1992.  The valuation allowance for this loan at March
31, 1996 totaled $39,043,714, representing the accreted value of
the loan at such date.  All interest on the loan is being fully
reserved for as it accrues.  The level of the allowance will be
assessed on a quarterly basis.  It remains the General Partner's
belief that the value of the Partnership's loan has been impaired
and that its ultimate collectibility is uncertain.

The Partnership's investment in zero coupon Treasury securities
and cash comprise the Partnership's working capital reserve.  At
March 31, 1996, the Partnership had $1,096,911 invested in zero
coupon U.S. Treasury securities and cash of $879,660, compared to
$1,073,105 and $910,771, respectively, at December 31, 1995.  The
increase in U.S. Treasury securities represents interest accrued
on the securities for the first quarter of 1996.  The decrease in
the cash balance is due to the Partnership meeting its normal
operating expenses.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------
For the three months ended March 31, 1996, net income totaled
$299,769, compared with net income of $252,071 for the three
months ended March 31, 1995.

Total income for the three months ended March 31, 1996 was
$368,149, compared with $327,959 for the corresponding period in
1995.  The increase is primarily due to higher interest income
earned on the Laurel Centre loan and an increase in interest
income earned on the Partnership's cash.

Total expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1996 were
$68,380, compared with $75,888 for the corresponding period in
1995.  The decrease is due to the decrease in general and
administrative expenses, which is primarily attributable to lower
professional fees.
