                                                              May 15, 1998     
 
Dear Unitholders:
 
  As you know, Prudential-Bache/A.G. Spanos Genesis Income Partners L.P., I
(the "Partnership") was formed in 1987 to acquire, operate and then ultimately
dispose of a portfolio of thirteen apartment properties located in seven
states. It was originally anticipated that the Partnership would operate for
seven to ten years and then sell the properties, although there is no
mandatory time frame in which the property sales must occur. As of the date
hereof, the Partnership has sold four of its properties, and now owns nine
properties in six states.
   
  The Partnership is now in its eleventh year of operations, and for some time
now, A.G. Spanos Residential Partners-86, A California Limited Partnership
("Spanos") and Prudential-Bache Properties, Inc. ("P-B Properties"), the
General Partners of the Partnership, have been considering when and how to
effect the disposition of the properties in the best interests of the
Partnership. In addition, Spanos and certain of its affiliates have been
involved in discussions to resolve the claims against them in certain class
action litigation currently pending in federal district court. Although the
Partnership is not named as a defendant in this litigation, it is included
among numerous limited partnerships which are at issue in the litigation.
These discussions have culminated in a proposed settlement by Spanos and its
affiliates (the "Settlement") of the class action litigation, providing for an
integrated plan of action (the "Plan") to sell the nine remaining properties
and distribute the net sale proceeds in liquidation of the Partnership. The
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the
"Court") has preliminarily approved the Settlement. Accompanying this letter
is a copy of the Notice to Equitable Class of Pendency of Class Action,
Proposed Partial Settlement of Class Action by the Spanos Defendants,
Requirement for Majority Consent to the Auction of the Properties of Certain
Partnerships as Part of the Spanos Settlement, Settlement Fairness Hearing,
Right to Appear at Hearing and Right to Object to the Settlement (the "Class
Notice"). Unitholders should review carefully the Class Notice, in conjunction
with this letter and the enclosed Notice of Consent Solicitation and Statement
Furnished in Connection with the Solicitation of Consents (the "Solicitation
Statement"). A copy of the agreement regarding the Settlement will be sent
without charge to any Unitholder who so requests.     
 
                               ----------------
 
  IMPLEMENTATION OF CERTAIN ELEMENTS OF THE PLAN REQUIRES THE CONSENT OF
HOLDERS OF A MAJORITY OF THE UNITS, AND YOUR APPROVAL IS VERY IMPORTANT.
Please return your Consent card as soon as possible, because a failure to
return a Consent card has the same effect as a "No" vote.
 
                               ----------------
 
  Under the Plan, the properties will be sold at a public auction (the
"Auction") to be conducted by Ernst & Young LLP, an independent national
public accounting and consulting firm, through its E&Y Kenneth Leventhal Real
Estate Group ("Leventhal"). Pursuant to the demands of the plaintiffs in the
negotiations, under the proposed Settlement Spanos has agreed that it or one
of its affiliates will open the Auction by submitting an initial minimum bid
so as to guarantee the Partnership a gross aggregate sales price for all the
properties of at least $20,560,000 in excess of the mortgage debt outstanding.
Leventhal will then seek to obtain competing bids from other qualified
bidders. After an initial bidding period, Leventhal will review the bids
received with P-B Properties and the lead lawyers representing the plaintiffs
in the class action ("Lead Class Counsel"). (Since an affiliate of Spanos will
be a bidder, Spanos will not take any part in reviewing the bids or selecting
the winner.) Leventhal will thereafter re-solicit higher bids from the
bidders, other than Spanos or its affiliate. Following the re-bid period,
Leventhal will report the final bid results to P-B Properties and Lead Class
Counsel, who will jointly determine the successful bid or bids. Leventhal and
P-B Properties will then work toward consummating the sales with the
successful bidder or bidders.
<PAGE>
 
   
  If the Plan is approved, it is anticipated that the property sales will be
consummated by late 1998. As soon thereafter as practicable, the Partnership
will pay cash distributions to the Partners from the net sales proceeds after
payment of all expenses and liabilities of the Partnership and certain
attorneys' fees, and the establishment of a reserve account to cover
unexpected claims. Any amount remaining in the reserve account will be
distributed to the Partners within twelve months from the date of the final
property closing, whereupon the Partnership will be dissolved. Overall, the
Plan is anticipated to result in minimum liquidating distributions of
approximately $14,766,000, or approximately $228 per Unit, and would produce
higher distributions if the Auction results in sale prices higher than the
Spanos initial minimum bid. For further information, see the discussion under
"THE PLAN -- Anticipated Results of Auction, Use of Proceeds and Cash
Distributions" in the enclosed Solicitation Statement.     
 
  Spanos believes that the sale of the properties at this time would be in the
best interests of the Unitholders and recommends that you complete and return
the Consent card. Spanos bases its recommendation on, among other things, the
following factors:
 
    . The Plan permits the properties to be sold shortly after the end of the
  originally anticipated seven-to ten-year holding period and under market
  conditions which, considering current mortgage interest rates and the
  availability of investor capital, Spanos believes are favorable for the
  sale of multi-family properties.
 
    . The properties generally have shown a trend of improved occupancies,
  revenues and net operating income over the past few years, which Spanos
  believes enhances their salability.
 
    . The court-approved Auction process provides a mechanism which Spanos
  believes will enable the Partnership to sell the properties for the best
  aggregate sale price obtainable at the date of sale under current market
  conditions. Spanos has guaranteed that the Auction will generate an
  aggregate gross sales price of at least $20,560,000 in excess of the
  Partnership's aggregate mortgage balance, which after payment of expenses
  and certain attorneys' fees will be distributed to the Unitholders, Special
  Limited Partners and General Partners as provided in the Partnership
  Agreement.
 
    . By selling the properties now, the Partnership will eliminate the risks
  inherent in the ownership of real property, including, among other things,
  the decline in value that can occur as a result of rising interest rates,
  increasing real estate investor expectations and changing competition
  factors in local rental markets.
 
    . The sale of the properties will provide liquidity to the Unitholders.
  At present, there is no established public trading market for the
  Partnership's Units, and liquidity has been limited to sporadic sales which
  occur within an informal secondary market and three recent tender offers,
  each for a limited number of Units, as described in the enclosed
  Solicitation Statement.
 
    . Spanos believes that older apartment buildings, even though well
  maintained, can over time suffer a competitive disadvantage in attracting
  and retaining tenants, as compared to new apartments with more modern
  amenities in newer, attractive neighborhoods. For example, the two-bedroom,
  one-bath configurations of many of the apartments in the properties is not
  as attractive to prospective tenants as two-bedroom, two-bath
  configurations often found in newer competing projects. The properties,
  therefore, may not be able to sustain current revenue levels. Further, new
  apartment project construction has occurred in several of the properties'
  market areas, including recent construction in some areas, as a result of
  recent price increases for apartment projects and readily available
  financing for such construction.
 
    . In the opinion of Spanos, the properties are presently in good repair,
  and it is advantageous to sell them before further aging and wear in the
  ordinary course of business occurs, thereby requiring substantial cash
  expenditures for costly repairs and refurbishments.
 
    . The Partnership's liquidation will eliminate the annual Schedule K-1
  income tax reporting for the Partnership, which is often burdensome to
  Unitholders.
 
                                       2
<PAGE>
 
  Among the disadvantages which would result to Unitholders from the approval
of the Plan are the following:
 
    . The Partnership will not benefit from possible future improvements in
  economic and market conditions, which possibly could produce increased cash
  flow and enhance the sales price of the properties.
 
    . It is not anticipated that, upon receipt of the final liquidating
  distributions, the Unitholders will have received aggregate distributions
  from the Partnership which will equal the amounts originally invested in
  the Partnership.
 
    . No current independent appraisals of the Partnership's properties have
  been obtained.
 
    . No independent opinion or evaluation of the fairness of the Plan has
  been obtained from any third party.
 
  It should be noted that sale of the properties will eliminate any future
liability of the General Partners for Partnership liabilities and risks to the
Partnership which could arise from continued operation of the Partnership.
Moreover, the Plan is part of a Settlement by Spanos and its affiliates of
certain class action litigation brought against the General Partners and
others. P-B Properties previously settled the claims against it and its
affiliates. The current Settlement has been preliminarily approved by the
Court, and the Plan will not be implemented unless the Court issues a final
order finding that the Settlement is fair, reasonable, adequate and in the
best interests of the Unitholders. Neither of the General Partners will
receive any fees in connection with the sale of the properties or the
termination and liquidation of the Partnership. However, as provided in the
Partnership Agreement, the General Partners will be entitled to receive
distributions of approximately $50,000 each, and the Special Limited Partners,
who are affiliates of Spanos, will receive distributions of approximately
$6,862,000. The sale of the properties will result in elimination of the
management fees and special distributions which the General Partners presently
receive.
 
  The Plan will result in the sale of all of the properties within a 12-month
period and the subsequent termination and liquidation of the Partnership,
which is an action that must be approved by the Unitholders. Furthermore,
since it is possible that an affiliate of Spanos will be the successful bidder
for one or more of the properties in the Auction, the Plan requires an
amendment to the Partnership Agreement to permit such an affiliate to purchase
the properties from the Partnership. Accordingly, Spanos is soliciting the
written consent of each Unitholder to these elements of the Plan, which are
more fully described in the enclosed Solicitation Statement. Under the
Partnership Agreement and Delaware law, Unitholders do not have rights of
appraisal or similar rights if the Plan is approved.
   
  P-B Properties, having previously settled the claims against it, is not a
party to the Settlement of the litigation described above, but it has
acknowledged the Settlement and agreed to be bound by certain provisions of
the Settlement which require that P-B Properties take, or forbear from taking,
certain actions in connection with the Plan. HOWEVER, P-B PROPERTIES IS MAKING
NO RECOMMENDATION TO UNITHOLDERS AS TO WHETHER THEY SHOULD APPROVE OR
DISAPPROVE THE PLAN. THE ENCLOSED SOLICITATION STATEMENT IS BEING FURNISHED TO
YOU SOLELY BY SPANOS.

To the Unitholders of Prudential-Bache/A.G. Spanos Genesis Income Partners
L.P., I:
 
  NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN to the holders (the "Unitholders") of the units of
limited partnership interest (the "Units") in Prudential-Bache/A.G. Spanos
Genesis Income Partners L.P., I, a Delaware limited partnership (the
"Partnership"), that A.G. Spanos Residential Partners-86, A California Limited
Partnership ("Spanos") is soliciting written consents (the "Consents") to

substantially all of the assets of the Partnership in a public auction, (ii)
the amendment of the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of
the Partnership to permit an affiliate of Spanos to bid for, and if successful

complete termination and liquidation of the Partnership, resulting in cash
distributions to the Unitholders, Special Limited Partners and General
Partners, all as more fully described in the accompanying Solicitation
Statement. Although the Plan is a single proposal which must be approved by
Unitholders holding a majority of the Units, Unitholders may indicate
approval, disapproval or abstention with respect to each of the three elements
of the Plan. However, the Plan will not be implemented unless Unitholders
holding a majority of the Units approve all three elements.
   
  Only Unitholders of record at the close of business on April 1, 1998 are
entitled to notice of the solicitation of Consents and to give their consent
to the Plan. In order to be valid, all Consents must be received before the
earlier of (a) the date (not prior to June 10, 1998) upon which Spanos has
received Consents from Unitholders owning a majority of the outstanding Units

is extended, in the sole discretion of Spanos, by notice to all Unitholders).
The approval will be obtained through the solicitation of written Consents,
and no meeting of Unitholders will be held. Skinner & Co. has been retained as
a soliciting agent, to assist Spanos in soliciting Consents. A Consent may be
revoked by written notice of revocation or by a later dated action containing
different instructions received by Skinner & Co. at any time on or before the
expiration of the time by which the Consent card must be received.     
 
  YOUR APPROVAL IS IMPORTANT. PLEASE READ THE SOLICITATION STATEMENT CAREFULLY
AND THEN COMPLETE, SIGN AND DATE THE ENCLOSED CONSENT CARD AND RETURN IT IN
THE SELF-ADDRESSED PREPAID ENVELOPE. Any Consent card which is signed and does
not specifically disapprove the Plan will be treated as approving the Plan.
Your prompt response will be appreciated.

                  STATEMENT FURNISHED IN CONNECTION WITH THE
                           SOLICITATION OF CONSENTS
 
INTRODUCTION
 
  This Statement Furnished in Connection with the Solicitation of Consents
("Solicitation Statement") is furnished to the holders ("Unitholders") of
units of limited partnership interest (the "Units") in Prudential-Bache/A.G.
Spanos Genesis Income Partners L.P., I, a Delaware limited partnership (the
"Partnership"), in connection with the solicitation of written consents
("Consents") by A.G. Spanos Residential Partners-86, A California Limited
Partnership ("Spanos"), one of the general partners of the Partnership, to
approve (i) the auction and sale of substantially all of the assets of the
Partnership (the "Auction") pursuant to paragraphs 15.4.19 and 19.1.4 of the
Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership (the
"Partnership Agreement"), (ii) an amendment to the Partnership Agreement to
permit an affiliate of Spanos to bid for and, if the successful bidder, to
purchase one or more of the Partnership's real properties (the "Amendment")
and (iii) the subsequent termination and liquidation of the Partnership
pursuant to paragraph 19.2 of the Partnership Agreement (the "Plan of
Liquidation"), as more fully described under "THE PLAN." Approval by
Unitholders of each of the Auction, the Amendment and the Plan of Liquidation
(collectively, the "Plan") is required to implement the Plan. If approved and
consummated, the Plan will result in the sale of substantially all of the
Partnership's assets, the termination of the Partnership's business and the
distribution of the net sales proceeds and any other remaining Partnership
assets to the Unitholders, Special Limited Partners and General Partners of
the Partnership, after payment of all liabilities and expenses and certain
attorneys' fees. Under the Partnership Agreement and Delaware law, Unitholders
do not have appraisal or similar rights if the Plan is approved. See "NO
APPRAISAL RIGHTS."
 
  The Plan is being proposed by Spanos in connection with, and pursuant to the
terms of, a proposed settlement by Spanos and its affiliates (the
"Settlement") of certain class action litigation (the "Litigation") now
pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York (the "Court"). The Settlement is set forth in a Stipulation of Settlement
with Spanos Defendants (the "Settlement Agreement"), executed by plaintiffs in
the Litigation and by Spanos and certain of its affiliates (the "Spanos
Defendants")./1/ The Court has preliminarily approved the Settlement. After
approval by the Unitholders of the Plan, but prior to implementation thereof,
the Court must enter an order finding that the Settlement is fair, reasonable,
adequate and in the best interests of the Unitholders, and such order must
have become final and nonappealable. See "SPECIAL FACTORS--Background of the
Plan" and "CERTAIN PENDING LITIGATION."
 
  Prudential-Bache Properties, Inc. ("P-B Properties"), the co-general partner
of the Partnership, has previously settled with the plaintiffs in the
Litigation and is not a party to the Settlement Agreement. P-B Properties has
advised Spanos that, in view of the unique circumstances under which the Plan
arose, including the fact that P-B Properties and its affiliates have settled
with the plaintiff class in the litigation and did not take part in the
negotiations for the Settlement by Spanos and its affiliates with the Court-
approved counsel and representatives of the plaintiff class, it makes no
recommendation as to whether Unitholders should approve or disapprove the
Plan. However, because the Settlement Agreement contemplates certain action by
P-B Properties in connection with the Auction and the Liquidation, P-B
Properties has executed a separate agreement with the plaintiffs and the
Spanos Defendants whereunder it has acknowledged the Settlement and agreed,
subject to final approval of the Settlement by the Court, to be bound by all
of the provisions of the Settlement Agreement which
- --------

   Spanos Realty Partners, L.P., A. G. Spanos Residential Partners-86, A. G.

require that P-B Properties take, or forbear from taking, certain actions in
connection with the Plan (see "THE PLAN -- Description of the Auction"). This
Solicitation Statement has been prepared and is being furnished solely by
Spanos.     
 
  Neither Spanos nor P-B Properties (collectively, the "General Partners")
intends to call a meeting of the Unitholders in connection with this
solicitation of Consents. Approval or disapproval by a Unitholder of the Plan
is to be indicated by marking and signing the enclosed form of Unitholder
consent (a "Consent") and returning it to Skinner & Co., which has been
engaged by Spanos on behalf of the Partnership to act as soliciting agent (the
"Soliciting Agent"), in the enclosed self-addressed envelope, which requires
no postage if mailed in the United States. The enclosed form of Consent
permits a Unitholder to indicate approval, disapproval or abstention with
respect to each element of the Plan. However, the Plan will not be implemented
unless Unitholders holding a majority of the outstanding Units approve all
three elements. Moreover, implementation of the Plan is subject to the
issuance by the Court of a final, nonappealable order and judgment approving
the Settlement.
   
  Consents of the Unitholders to the Plan will be solicited until the earlier
of: (a) the date (not prior to June 10, 1998) upon which Spanos has received
Consents from Unitholders owning a majority of the outstanding Units or (b)
June 30, 1998 (subject to extension to a date not later than August 31, 1998,
in Spanos' sole discretion, by notice to all Unitholders).     
   
  The close of business on April 1, 1998 (the "Record Date") has been fixed by
Spanos for determining the Unitholders entitled to notice of the solicitation
of Consents and to consent to the Plan. On the Record Date, there were 64,660
outstanding Units entitled to vote on the Plan held by approximately 3,000
Unitholders. This Solicitation Statement and the enclosed form of Consent are
first being mailed to Unitholders on or about May 18, 1998.     
 
  Pursuant to the Court's preliminary approval order, Unitholders are enjoined
from selling or otherwise transferring their Units without Court approval,
unless both the Unitholder and his or her buyer or transferee agree in writing
to be bound by the Settlement Agreement if finally approved by the Court.
Accordingly, no transfer of Units will be accepted by the General Partners
unless accompanied by such an agreement signed by both the transferring
Unitholder and the transferee, and otherwise meeting the requirements of the
Partnership Agreement. Unitholders will be notified as soon as possible as to
the results of this solicitation.
   
  Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the consent of Unitholders holding a
majority of the outstanding Units is required to approve the sale of
properties representing 66 2/3% or more of the aggregate net book value of the
Partnership's assets within a 12-month period and the termination of the
Partnership. Under Delaware law and the Partnership Agreement, any matter upon
which the Unitholders are entitled to act may be submitted for a vote by
written consent without a meeting. Any Consent given pursuant to this
solicitation may be revoked by the person giving it at any time before the
earlier of (a) the date (not prior to June 10, 1998) upon which Spanos has
received Consents from Unitholders owning a majority of the outstanding Units
or (b) 10:00 a.m. California time on June 30, 1998 (unless such date or time
is extended), by sending a written notice of revocation or a later dated
Consent containing different instructions to the Soliciting Agent before such
date. Any written notice of revocation or subsequent Consent should be sent to
the Soliciting Agent, Skinner & Co., at 660 Market Street, Suite 204, San
Francisco, CA 94104 (Telephone 415-981-0970).     
 
  In addition to solicitation by use of the mails, officers, directors and
employees of Spanos and its affiliates may solicit Consents in person or by
telephone, facsimile or other means of communication. Such directors, officers
and employees will not receive additional compensation for such services but
may be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with
such solicitation. In addition, Skinner & Co. has been retained as Soliciting
Agent to assist Spanos in the solicitation of Consents for a base fee of
$1,750, plus additional fees for time spent by Skinner personnel in
communication with Unitholders and tabulations of Consents, as well as
reimbursement of expenses such as postage, copying, courier and messenger
services and telephone and facsimile costs. The estimated aggregate of
Skinner's fees is $4,750, and its expenses are estimated
 
                                       2
<PAGE>
 
   
at approximately $3,000. Arrangements have been made with custodians, nominees
and fiduciaries for the forwarding of Consent solicitation materials to
beneficial owners of Units held of record by such custodians, nominees and
fiduciaries, and the Partnership will reimburse such custodians, nominees and
fiduciaries for reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith. All
costs and expenses of this solicitation of Consents, including the costs of
preparing and mailing this Solicitation Statement, will be advanced by Spanos
or its affiliates, subject to reimbursement from the Partnership unless the
consent of Unitholders holding a majority of the outstanding Units is not
obtained on or before 5:00 p.m. California time on the third business day
before the hearing at which the parties to the Settlement Agreement will
request the Court to enter its order and judgment finally approving the
Settlement. That hearing is currently expected to take place on July 21, 1998.
The aggregate expenses to be incurred relating to this solicitation are
estimated to be approximately $259,000.     
 
  Spanos recommends that Unitholders consent to the Plan. See "SPECIAL FACTORS

THE PARTNERSHIP

Prudential-Bache/A.G.
Spanos Genesis Income              
Partners L.P., I............  The Partnership is a Delaware limited partnership
                              which owns nine real properties (the
                              "Properties") consisting of seven apartment
                              complexes and the land underlying two other
                              complexes, with a total of 2,780 apartment units
                              in six states. P-B Properties and Spanos are the
                              General Partners of the Partnership. The offices
                              of the Partnership are located at One Seaport
                              Plaza, New York, New York 10292 and its telephone
                              number is (212) 214-1016.     
 
ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT
 
Purpose of the                
Solicitation................  Consents are being solicited by Spanos to approve
                              (i) the sale of the Properties, which comprise   
                              substantially all of the assets of the
                              Partnership, and which will be sold at public
                              auction (the "Auction"); (ii) amendment of the
                              Partnership Agreement to permit an affiliate of
                              Spanos to bid for, and if the successful bidder
                              to purchase, one or more of the Properties from
                              the Partnership (the "Amendment"); and (iii) the
                              subsequent termination and liquidation of the
                              Partnership and the distribution to the
                              Unitholders, Special Limited Partners and the
                              General Partners of the net sales proceeds and
                              other cash held by the Partnership at the time of
                              distribution, other than certain amounts set
                              aside to provide for the payment of all expenses
                              and other liabilities of the Partnership and
                              payment of certain attorneys' fees in the
                              Litigation (the "Plan of Liquidation").
 
Record Date; Units Entitled   
to Consent..................  Unitholders of record at the close of business on
                              April 1, 1998 are entitled to vote by written    
                              Consent. At such date, there were outstanding
                              64,660 Units, each of which will entitle the
                              record owner thereof to one vote.
 
Vote Required...............  The Plan will not be implemented unless written
                              Consents approving each element of the Plan are
                              received from Unitholders of record holding a
                              majority of all outstanding Units. See "VOTING
                              SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF" for
                              information regarding Unit ownership by
                              Prudential Securities Incorporated ("Prudential
                              Securities"), an affiliate of P-B Properties.
 
Termination of Consent           
Solicitation................  Consents must be received by the earlier of (a)
                              the date (not prior to June 10, 1998) on which
                              Spanos has received Consents from Unitholders
                              owning a majority of the outstanding Units or (b)
                              10:00 a.m. California time on June 30, 1998
                              (unless such date or time is extended, in the
                              sole discretion of Spanos, by notice to all
                              Unitholders, to permit further solicitation of
                              Consents if majority approval has not been
                              obtained).

THE PLAN
 
General.....................  The Plan is a single proposal consisting of the
                              Auction, the Amendment and the Plan of
                              Liquidation.
 
Background of the Plan......  See "SPECIAL FACTORS -- Background of the Plan."
 
Recommendation of Spanos....  Spanos recommends the approval of the Plan.
                              Spanos has been advised by P-B Properties that it
                              is making no recommendation regarding the Plan,
                              because the Plan was developed in the course of
                              negotiations (in which P-B Properties did not
                              participate) for the settlement of class action
                              litigation (to which P-B Properties is no longer
                              a party, having entered into a separate
                              settlement with the plaintiff class), which
                              negotiations were undertaken with Spanos and its
                              affiliates by Lead Class Counsel approved by the
                              Court on behalf of the plaintiff class, the
                              representatives of which were also approved by
                              the Court. See "SPECIAL FACTORS -- Fairness of
                              the Plan; Recommendation of Spanos."
 
Security Ownership and
Voting of the General
Partners....................  As of the Record Date, neither of the General
                              Partners, nor any executive officer or director
                              of a General Partner, owned directly or
                              beneficially any Units. Prudential Securities
                              beneficially owned approximately 3.0% of the
                              outstanding Units as of the Record Date.
                              Prudential Securities intends to vote its Units
                              to consent or withhold consent to the Plan in the
                              same proportions as do the other Unitholders.
 
Consummation of the Plan of      
Sale........................  The Auction will be held as promptly as
                              practicable after obtaining the requisite
                              approval of the Unitholders to the Plan and after
                              the Court has entered a final nonappealable order
                              and judgment approving the Settlement. It is
                              anticipated that property sales pursuant to the
                              Auction will be consummated by late 1998.     
 
No Appraisal Rights.........  Unitholders have no appraisal rights in
                              connection with the Plan. See "NO APPRAISAL
                              RIGHTS."
 
Federal Income Tax            
Consequences................  The Partnership will have taxable gain or loss   
                              upon its sale of each Property. Such gain or loss 
                              will be allocated to the Unitholders in
                              accordance with the Partnership Agreement, and
                              generally will constitute Section 1231 gain or
                              Section 1231 loss. Any Section 1231 gains would
                              be eligible for a reduced tax rate. See "FEDERAL
                              INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PLAN -- Capital
                              Gains Tax." For most tax-exempt Unitholders, only
                              a portion of the gain from the sale of the
                              Properties would be treated as unrelated business
                              income. See "FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF
                              THE PLAN -- Sale of Properties."
 
                              Distributions to a Unitholder generally will not
                              be taxable to the extent the distributions do not
                              exceed the Unitholder's adjusted tax basis in the
                              Units. The tax basis in the Units will be reduced
                              by the
 
                                       7
<PAGE>
 
                              distributions, and those in excess of the tax
                              basis generally will be treated as capital gain,
                              which will be long-term if the applicable Units
                              have been held for more than one year.
                              Unitholders who have remaining tax basis in their
                              Units after termination of the Partnership
                              generally will have a capital loss. See "FEDERAL
                              INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PLAN -- Tax
                              Allocations and Distributions."
 
Final Distributions and       
Liquidation.................  As promptly as practicable following the sale of 
                              the last Property, after payment or reserving for 
                              payment of all costs of the Auction and this
                              Consent solicitation, the General Partners will
                              determine the amount of funds which they believe
                              will be sufficient to provide for the
                              Partnership's remaining expenses and liabilities,
                              including the costs of liquidation of the
                              Partnership and any contingent liabilities. Such
                              liabilities would include potential liabilities
                              under contracts of sale of the Properties. The
                              Settlement Agreement provides that the amount of
                              the contingency reserve shall not exceed
                              $1,000,000, and that such reserve will be held
                              for a period of one year or less. The Settlement
                              Agreement further provides that Lead Class
                              Counsel representing the Unitholders may apply to
                              the Court for an award of attorneys' fees payable
                              out of the amount of property sales proceeds
                              which would otherwise be distributable to the
                              Unitholders. After establishment of the
                              contingency reserve and payment of the Court-
                              approved attorneys' fees, the balance of the
                              Partnership's funds will be distributed to the
                              Unitholders, Special Limited Partners and General
                              Partners in accordance with the Partnership
                              Agreement. Once all known liabilities have been
                              satisfied, the Partnership will distribute its
                              remaining net assets and terminate. Any remainder
                              of the $1,000,000 reserve will be distributed to
                              the Unitholders in accordance with the
                              Partnership Agreement, and the General Partners
                              will remain obligated with respect to any
                              unsatisfied obligations of the Partnership.

                                SPECIAL FACTORS
 
  Before consenting to the Plan, Unitholders should carefully consider certain
factors regarding the Plan:
 
BACKGROUND OF THE PLAN
 
  The Partnership was formed in January 1987 with the primary purpose of
acquiring from affiliates of Spanos, investing in, holding, managing, selling,
disposing of and otherwise acting with respect to multifamily residential
rental properties. The Partnership's investment objectives at formation were
to preserve and protect Partnership capital by investing in properties in
diverse locations, to provide partially tax-sheltered cash distributions from
operations and to provide long-term capital appreciation. Between June of 1987
and August of 1988, the Partnership purchased from affiliates of Spanos eight
garden apartment complexes and five parcels of land on which garden apartment
complexes had been constructed, with a total of 4,246 apartment units in seven
states, for an aggregate purchase price of $128,335,000. See "THE PLAN --
Description of Properties." As of the date hereof, the Partnership has sold
one apartment complex and the land underlying three other complexes, so that
the Partnership's properties (the "Properties") now consist of seven apartment
complexes and the land underlying two other complexes, with a total of 2,780
apartment units in six states.
 
  Although the Partnership Agreement provides that the term of the Partnership
will, unless previously terminated, continue until December 31, 2021, the
prospectus of the Partnership for its original public offering of Units stated
that the Partnership intended that it would dispose of its Properties within
seven to 10 years after acquisition.
 
  Spanos and P-B Properties have, in the ordinary course of administration of
the Partnership's affairs, been considering when and how to effect the
disposition of the Properties in the best interests of the Partnership.
Affiliates of Spanos which have acted as general partners of real estate
limited partnerships have periodically evaluated the desirability of sale of
individual properties held by those partnerships, after the minimum
anticipated holding periods had ended. Similarly, Spanos has from time to time
evaluated the Properties and those of Prudential-Bache/A.G. Spanos Realty
Partners L.P., I (the "Realty Partnership"), a public Delaware limited
partnership of which P-B Properties and A.G. Spanos Realty Partners, L.P., an
affiliate of Spanos ("Spanos Realty") are the general partners. While the
Realty Partnership has sold no properties since its inception, the Partnership
has sold four properties since its inception in 1987. The ability to sell
properties generally has been enhanced by improvements in the national real
estate investment market. Pension funds, real estate investment trusts
("REITs") and other institutional buyers are now actively seeking new
investment properties, as compared to the early 1990's, when these same
institutional buyers were fewer and less active. The emergence of securitized
mortgage financing and lower mortgage interest rates have also contributed to
an improved market for real estate such as the Properties, as entrepreneurial
buyers who require debt financing to purchase properties are able to borrow
funds at attractive rates.
 
  More specifically, with respect to the Partnership's Properties,
improvements in the real estate capital markets and in the operating
performance of the Properties have enhanced the prospects for selling these
Properties at attractive prices. During the early 1990's, the Partnership's
Properties experienced devaluation due to a nationwide slump in real estate
values. Moreover, the Partnership reduced cash distributions to its Partners
in 1991, because cash flow after debt service would not support the level of
distributions paid in prior years. As a result of improved net operating
income and general improvement in the real estate capital markets in these
areas, Spanos believes that the Properties are now readily salable.
 
  Although future economic conditions are difficult to predict, Spanos
believes that it is unlikely that continuing to hold the Properties would
significantly enhance the Partnership's ultimate realization on sale of the
Properties, or that the relative economic benefits of continued ownership
would justify the risks of such continued ownership.
 
 
                                       9
<PAGE>
 
  The sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership in a
single sale or in multiple sales in the same 12-month period requires the
approval of Unitholders holding a majority of the Units. The Partnership
Agreement defines "Substantially All of the Assets" to mean Properties
representing 66-2/3% or more of the net book value of all Partnership assets
as of the end of the most recently completed calendar quarter. Neither the
Partnership Agreement nor Delaware law requires that Unitholders vote on the
sale of each Property or on the actual terms of specific sales. Advance
approval of the Plan will allow the General Partners to consummate a sale or
sales of the Properties upon completion of the Auction, without risking loss
of the buyer or buyers due to delays in obtaining the necessary consents of
Unitholders.
   
  The Plan is being proposed by Spanos in connection with the Settlement of
the Litigation. The Litigation was commenced as a class action against P-B
Properties and its affiliates, and was expanded to include Spanos and its
affiliates in 1993. See "CERTAIN PENDING LITIGATION." In early 1994, counsel
for Spanos and its affiliates met with the lead lawyers representing the
plaintiffs in the litigation ("Lead Class Counsel") to explore the prospects
for settlement of the Litigation as to Spanos and its affiliates. From the
beginning of the settlement negotiations, Lead Class Counsel and the
representatives of the class of plaintiffs (the "Class Representatives")
demanded the sale of the properties of the Partnership and the Realty
Partnership and liquidation of such partnerships, and that Spanos or its
affiliates provide "floor bids," to ensure a bargained-for specified minimum
amount of proceeds to be distributed to Unitholders. Lead Class Counsel,
Spanos and Spanos Realty agreed that the expense of appraisals of each of the
properties was not warranted, because a public auction after dissemination of
full information to prospective bidders, together with a guaranteed minimum
bid, would provide a superior measure of the values of the various properties
than would opinions of non-bidding appraisers. In the initial meeting, Lead
Class Counsel, Spanos and its affiliates began negotiations concerning the
amount of a floor bid for the properties of both the Partnership and the
Realty Partnership. Spanos initially offered a floor bid for all of the
properties aggregating $31,900,000 over the existing mortgage debt on the
properties. Lead Class Counsel thereafter engaged a financial and evaluation
consultant who requested additional information regarding the Properties,
which was provided by Spanos and reviewed by the consultant. In determining
the amount of its proposed floor bid, Spanos did not undertake a formal
valuation of the properties, but rather relied on its own familiarity with the
properties and its expertise generally with respect to multi-family
residential properties, and took into account the market conditions for such
properties and the desirability of settling the Litigation.     
 
  Throughout 1994, negotiations continued with Lead Class Counsel and its
consultant, primarily relating to the floor bids. In addition, Spanos' counsel
met twice with members of the executive committee formed by counsel to
plaintiffs in the Litigation, Lead Class Counsel and its consultant, and in
late 1994 Spanos agreed to negotiate further its floor bids. Ultimately,
Spanos agreed to increase its minimum bid for the properties of both
partnerships to $41,000,000 over existing mortgage debt. However, no agreement
regarding a settlement was reached, and negotiations continued during 1995. In
June of 1995, Spanos increased its aggregate floor bid offer to $41,360,000,
but still no definitive agreement was reached. Throughout the remainder of
1995 and 1996, settlement negotiations were carried on, and various proposed
forms of a settlement agreement were exchanged between the parties. In May,
1997, after further negotiations, Spanos increased its aggregate floor bid
offer to $43,000,000, allocated $20,560,000 to the Partnership and $22,440,000
to the Realty Partnership, in each case over existing mortgage debt. Lead
Class Counsel, its consultant and the executive committee of plaintiffs'
counsel agreed to this offered amount, and on May 12, 1997, the Settlement
Agreement was executed. The increases in the amount of floor bid which Spanos
offered resulted from the negotiation process, although the fact that the
markets for the properties had improved further also influenced its decisions.
   
  On May 19, 1997, the Court entered its preliminary order which, among other
things, approved the appointment of representatives of the plaintiff class,
approved the appointment of Lead Class Counsel, preliminarily approved the
Settlement and approved the form of Notice to the Unitholders which
accompanies this Solicitation Statement.     
 
  If the Plan is approved by the Unitholders, and if the Court enters a final
nonappealable order and judgment approving the Settlement, the Auction will
take place as promptly as is practicable, consistent with meeting the terms of
the Plan, as described under "THE PLAN -- Description of the Auction."
 
                                      10
<PAGE>
 
EFFECTS OF THE PLAN
   
  If the Plan is approved and implemented as proposed, the effects of the Plan
will be the sale of substantially all of the Partnership's assets, the
termination of the Partnership's business, the winding up of the Partnership's
affairs and the distribution to the General Partners, the Special Limited
Partners and the Unitholders of the net proceeds of the Auction and the
Partnership's other assets, after payment of liabilities, liquidation expenses
and certain attorneys' fees. Spanos estimates that, assuming the Properties
are sold for the amount of its Minimum Overall Bid (as defined under "THE PLAN
- -- Description of the Auction"), the Unitholders will receive an initial cash
distribution of approximately $212.89 per Unit upon completion of the Sale of
the Properties, and may receive a distribution of up to an additional $15.47
approximately one year later. See "THE PLAN--Anticipated Results of Auction,
Use of Proceeds and Cash Distributions." The amount distributed to each
Unitholder generally will not be taxable to the extent the distributions do
not exceed the Unitholder's adjusted tax basis in the Units. See "FEDERAL
INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PLAN--Tax Allocations and Distributions."     
 
FAIRNESS OF THE PLAN; RECOMMENDATION OF SPANOS
 
  Spanos reasonably believes that the Plan is fair to the Unitholders and
recommends approval of the Plan. No appraisals of the Properties were
obtained, and no independent evaluation of the fairness of the Plan to
Unitholders has been made. However, the Settlement has been preliminarily
approved by the Court, and the Plan will not be implemented unless the Court,
after approval of the Plan by the Unitholders, issues an order finding that
the Settlement is fair, reasonable, adequate and in the best interests of the
Unitholders. Further, the auction process is designed to secure the highest
prices available for the Properties on the date of the Auction.
 
  In reaching its conclusion to recommend approval of the Plan, Spanos
considered the following factors:
 
  (1) the fact that the Properties have now been held for longer than their
      originally intended holding periods, which militates in favor of a sale
      of the Properties at this time;
 
  (2) increased availability of investor capital and the increased purchasing
      activity and favorable interest rate environment, which also militates
      in favor of sale;
 
  (3) improved occupancies and revenues in recent years, which enhance the
      prospects for realization of an adequate sale price for the Properties;
 
  (4) the potential for future operating performance increases and a possible
      increase in the value of the Properties, which might militate in favor
      of holding the Properties, but which also might enhance their
      salability;
 
  (5) the satisfactory physical condition of the Properties and the need for
      expenditures for repairs, replacements and improvements to be incurred
      in the future, which militates in favor of a sale now;
 
  (6) the presence of competition and the possibility of increased future
      competition, which suggest that a sale now may be advisable;
 
  (7) the relative illiquidity of the Units, which militates in favor of
      sale;
 
  (8) the historic levels of cash distributions to the Unitholders and the
      reduction of cash distributions in 1991, which suggest that Unitholders
      would benefit from recovering their investment now; and
 
  (9) the potential for an increase in the amounts of distributions, which
      might militate in favor of holding the Properties, if such future
      distributions would represent a rate of return equivalent to that
      available in other investments.
 
 
                                      11
<PAGE>
 
  In addition, Spanos took into account the pendency of the Litigation,
including (i) the extensive negotiations with Lead Class Counsel leading to
the Settlement Agreement and the Court's approval of the Settlement; (ii) the
fact that included in the relief sought by the plaintiffs is rescission of the
original issuance of the Units; (iii) the costs expended to date and expected
to be expended by Spanos and its affiliates in continuing defense against such
Litigation; and (iv) the effects of participation in the defense of such
Litigation upon certain of the key personnel of Spanos, each of which was
considered from Spanos' standpoint to weigh in favor of offering a floor bid
and selling the Properties to settle the Litigation. See "CERTAIN PENDING
LITIGATION."
 
  Spanos does not believe that it is feasible to attempt to quantify any of
the foregoing factors, nor did Spanos accord any particular weight to any of
those factors, although it believes that the fact that the Properties have now
been held for longer than their originally anticipated holding periods and the
fact that the representatives of the class action plaintiffs, which include
all of the Unitholders, demanded sale of the Properties weighed more heavily
in favor of the Plan than did other factors. After reviewing all of the above,
Spanos concluded that these factors weighed in favor of agreeing to the floor
bids and selling the Properties now, rather than sometime in the future,
because it believes that the risks of continuing to own the Properties
outweigh the benefits of continued ownership.
 
DISADVANTAGES OF THE PLAN
 
  The primary disadvantage of disposing of the Properties at this time is that
the Partnership will not benefit from possible further improvements in
economic and market conditions which might produce increased cash flow and
possibly enhance the sales prices of the Properties. Further, it is not
anticipated that the Unitholders will receive aggregate distributions from the
Partnership, including distributions from sales of the Properties and any
remaining contingency reserve, which will equal the amounts originally
invested in the Partnership. In addition, no current independent appraisals of
the Properties were obtained, because Spanos believes that a public auction
after dissemination of full information to prospective bidders, together with
its affiliate's minimum bids, will provide a superior measure of the values of
the Properties than would opinions of non-bidding appraisers. No independent
opinion or evaluation of the fairness of the Plan to Unitholders has been
made. However, the Plan will not be implemented unless the Court issues an
order finding that the Settlement is fair, reasonable, adequate and in the
best interests of the Unitholders.
 
ADVANTAGES OF THE PLAN
 
  In addition to the factors regarding the Settlement discussed under
"Background of the Plan" above, Spanos based its recommendation on the
following factors:
 
  (i) SPANOS' BELIEF THAT THE CURRENT LEVEL OF MORTGAGE INTEREST RATES AND
      INCREASED AVAILABILITY OF INVESTOR CAPITAL ARE FAVORABLE FOR THE SALE
      OF THE PROPERTIES. In particular, Spanos has considered as favorable
      factors the availability of potential purchasers with sufficient equity
      to purchase properties; the availability of financing for the
      acquisition of real estate from the capital markets and traditional
      lending sources; and continued favorable interest rates which make it
      less expensive for potential purchasers to borrow funds.
 
  (ii) GENERAL IMPROVEMENT IN THE OCCUPANCIES, REVENUES AND NET OPERATING
       INCOME OF THE PARTNERSHIP'S PROPERTIES, which Spanos believes enhances
       their salability.
 
  (iii) REALIZATION OF HIGHEST OBTAINABLE PRICES THROUGH THE AUCTION. The
        Court-approved Auction process provides a mechanism which Spanos
        believes will enable the Partnership to sell the Properties for the
        best aggregate sale price obtainable at the time of sale, under
        current market conditions. Moreover, the guaranteed minimum bids from
        an affiliate of Spanos provide assurance that the Properties will be
        sold at prices exceeding existing mortgage debt and sufficient to
        assure at least $20,560,000 of gross sale proceeds.
 
                                      12
<PAGE>
 
  (iv) RISKS OF CONTINUED OWNERSHIP. Retaining the Properties will continue
       to subject the Partnership to the risks inherent in the ownership of
       rental property, such as fluctuations in occupancy rates, operating
       expenses and rental rates (which in turn may be affected by general
       and local economic conditions), the supply and demand for apartment
       properties of the type owned by the Partnership, increased competition
       (particularly from newer apartment projects with more desirable
       configurations and greater amenities) and federal and local laws and
       regulations affecting the ownership and operation of real estate.
 
  (v) LIQUIDITY. The sales will provide liquidity to the Unitholders. At
      present, there is no established public trading market for the
      Partnership's Units, and liquidity has been limited to sporadic sales
      which occur within an informal secondary market, and three recent
      tender offers, each for a limited number of Units. See "MARKET PRICES
      OF UNITS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO UNITHOLDERS--Market Prices."
 
  (vi) INCREASED COMPETITION. Spanos believes that older apartment buildings
       such as those on the Properties, even though well maintained and in
       good condition, can over time suffer a competitive disadvantage in
       attracting and retaining tenants, as compared to new apartments with
       more modern amenities in newer, attractive neighborhoods. Further, the
       two-bedroom, one-bath configurations of many of the apartments in the
       Properties are not as attractive for prospective tenants as two-
       bedroom, two-bath configurations often found in newer competing
       projects. In addition, new apartment construction has commenced
       recently in several of the Properties' market areas, as a result of
       recent price increases for apartment projects and readily available
       financing for such construction. The Properties, therefore, may not be
       able to sustain current levels of revenue.
 
  (vii) THE CONDITION OF THE PROPERTIES. The Partnership has maintained the
        Properties in good condition during the past few years. Spanos
        believes that it would be advantageous to sell the Properties now
        before further aging and wear in the ordinary course occurs, thereby
        requiring substantially increased expenditures for repairs and
        refurbishment.
 
  (viii) THE PARTNERSHIP'S ORIGINAL OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES. Sales of the
         Properties at this time are compatible with the Partnership's
         originally anticipated holding periods.
 
  (ix) ELIMINATION OF SCHEDULE K-1 REPORTS. The Partnership's liquidation
       will eliminate the requirement for annual Schedule K-1 income tax
       reporting for the Partnership, which Spanos believes is often
       burdensome for Unitholders.
 
VOTE REQUIRED TO APPROVE THE PLAN
 
  Implementation of the Plan requires that Spanos receive Consents approving
each element of the Plan from Unitholders of record holding a majority of all
outstanding Units.
 
NO OTHER OFFERS
 
  During the 18 months preceding the date of this Solicitation Statement,
neither Spanos nor the Partnership has received any firm offers from
unaffiliated persons for the merger or consolidation of the Partnership with
another entity or the sale of all or any substantial part of its assets to any
third party, nor is Spanos aware of any firm offer for Units which would
enable the holder of such Units to exercise control over the Partnership.
However, immediately prior to execution of the Settlement Agreement, Spanos
received from an unaffiliated entity a tentative offer for the purchase of all
of the Properties of the Partnership for a price which would have yielded less
net proceeds to the Partnership than would result from Spanos' Minimum Overall
Bid. Because of the lower price offered, the lack of assurance that such a
sale would result in termination of the Litigation and the fact that
negotiations for the definitive Settlement Agreement were substantially
complete, Spanos determined that it was in the best interests of the
Partnership to proceed with the Settlement Agreement, and Spanos so advised
the entity making the tentative offer, and suggested that it submit a bid for
the Properties in the Auction.
 
                                      13
<PAGE>
 
Moreover, certain limited tender offers for Units have been made during such
period. See "MARKET PRICES OF UNITS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO UNITHOLDERS--Market
Prices."
 
FAILURE TO APPROVE THE PLAN
 
  If the Unitholders fail to approve the Plan, the Partnership will continue
to own the Properties. In such event, Spanos expects that the Partnership will
operate the Properties for an indefinite period, which over time would likely
entail substantial expenditures for repairs and refurbishment. Consistent with
the Partnership Agreement, the General Partners may receive or solicit offers
for the sale of one or more of the Properties as opportunities arise. In any
such sale, the Partnership would benefit from any increase in value of the
affected property over the value at the time of the Auction, and would suffer
a detriment to the extent of decrease in such value. Failure by the
Unitholders to approve the Plan will not affect their rights under the
Partnership Agreement.

                                   THE PLAN
 
GENERAL
 
  The Plan was developed by Spanos in connection with the Settlement of the
Litigation and is being proposed by Spanos for consent by Unitholders to each
element of the Plan--the Auction, the Amendment and the Plan of Liquidation.
See "INTRODUCTION" and "SPECIAL FACTORS--Background of the Plan."
 
  The principal advantages of the Plan are:
 
  .  Sale of the Properties in a favorable market for multi-family
     properties.
 
  .  Enhanced salability due to recent improved operations of the Properties.
 
  .  Sale of the Properties in a public auction, with substantial information
     available to bidders.
 
  .  Providing liquidity to the Unitholders.
 
  .  Sale while the Properties are in good repair, avoiding substantial
     expenditures for repairs and refurbishments.
 
  .  Guaranteed minimum bids from an affiliate of Spanos.
 
  .  Sale of the Properties shortly after the originally intended holding
     period.
 
  .  Elimination of Schedule K-1 tax reports.
 
See "SPECIAL FACTORS--Advantages of the Plan."
 
  The principal disadvantages of the Plan are:
 
  .  Unitholders will not benefit from possible improvements in economic and
     market conditions affecting the Properties.
 
  .  Unitholders will not likely recover their original investments.
 
  .  No current independent appraisals of the Properties have been obtained.
 
  .  No independent opinion or evaluation of the fairness of the Plan to
     Unitholders has been obtained.
 
See "SPECIAL FACTORS--Disadvantages of the Plan."
 
  Spanos recommends that the Unitholders approve the Plan, including approval
of the Auction, which will result in the sale of all of the Partnership's
Properties, followed by the termination and liquidation of the Partnership. If
the Plan is approved, and the Court enters a final nonappealable order and
judgment approving the Settlement, the Properties will be sold in the Auction
on the terms set forth below and in accordance with the terms of the
Partnership Agreement as amended by the Amendment. See "Description of the
Auction" below.
 
  Approval of the Plan will not automatically result in the sale of the
Properties. Spanos and its affiliates have the right, but not the obligation,
to terminate the Settlement on the occurrence of certain conditions, including
the failure by the Court to enter a final order and judgment approving the
Settlement, or the entering by the Court of an order and judgment which varies
from that contemplated by the parties to the Settlement Agreement, or the
failure of a majority of the Unitholders to approve the Plan. The only other
conditions which would permit Spanos and its affiliates to terminate the
Settlement have been satisfied by the date of this Solicitation Statement.
Termination of the Settlement would have the effects described under "SPECIAL
FACTORS--Failure to Approve the Plan," and the Litigation would continue.
 
  The Court must enter an order and judgment approving the fairness of the
Settlement, and the order and judgment must become final and no longer subject
to appeal or review, before the Plan may be effected.

DESCRIPTION OF THE AUCTION     
 
  In the Settlement Agreement, Spanos and its affiliates agreed that they will
make available for sale in the Auction all apartment buildings and other
improvements owned by them and located on the parcels of land owned by the
Partnership, so that each parcel of land, together with the buildings and
other improvements thereon, can be bid upon and sold as a single property in
the Auction. The Settlement Agreement further provides that the net proceeds
from the sale of such properties will be allocated between the Partnership and
the owner of the buildings and improvements as follows:
 
  a. After payment of the mortgage indebtedness, the Partnership will receive
     all of the net sale proceeds until it has recovered its original
     purchase price for the land ($3,500,000 for the Cameron Creek Property
     and $2,000,000 for Del Rio);
 
  b. The owner of the buildings and improvements will then receive the
     balance of the proceeds up to a "base amount" equal to the appraised
     value of the land, buildings and improvements at the time of the
     Partnership's original public offering ($18,000,000 for Cameron Creek
     and $10,100,000 for Del Rio); and
 
  c. Any remaining proceeds will be allocated 42.5% to the Partnership and
     57.5% to the owner of the buildings and improvements.
 
  The Auction will be conducted as follows:
 
  a. CONDUCT OF THE AUCTION. The Settlement Agreement covers both the
Partnership and the Realty Partnership, and provides for a combined
simultaneous Auction of the properties of both partnerships (the "Auction
Properties"). Since one or more affiliates of Spanos and Spanos Realty
(collectively, the "Spanos General Partners") will bid initially in the
Auction, the Settlement Agreement provides that the Spanos General Partners
shall have no involvement in conducting the Auction except that they may
identify potential bidders to be invited to participate in the Auction, have
agreed to assist in accommodating due diligence information requests from
potential bidders and have agreed to submit certain minimum bids, as hereafter
described.
 
  The Partnership and the Realty Partnership have engaged Ernst & Young LLP,
an independent national public accounting and consulting firm, through its E&Y
Kenneth Leventhal Real Estate Group (the "Agent") to conduct the Auction. P-B
Properties will also cause the Partnership and the Realty Partnership: (i) to
retain independent real estate counsel to advise them regarding the Auction;
(ii) to engage Eckland Consultants Inc., a national architectural, engineering
and environmental consulting firm ("Eckland Consultants"), to perform a
physical inspection of the Auction Properties and prepare an engineering
report setting forth any material structural or operational defects and to
provide a Phase I report (and if necessary a Phase II report) on the
environmental condition of each of the Auction Properties; (iii) to contract
with First American Title Insurance Company to perform title searches and
issue preliminary title commitments; and (iv) to contract with one or more
qualified termite inspection companies, selected by the Agent and acceptable
to P-B Properties and Lead Class Counsel, to perform termite inspections at
each Auction Property. The fees and expenses of the Agent, the independent
real estate counsel, Eckland Consultants, the title company and the termite
inspection companies will be borne by the Partnership and the Realty
Partnership. Where necessary, these fees and expenses will be allocated
between the Partnership and the Realty Partnership in proportion to the gross
sales price, in excess of existing mortgages, realized by each as a result of
the Auction.
 
 
                                      17
<PAGE>
 
  The Agent will prepare packages of information (the "Bid Packages") for
distribution to potential bidders regarding the Auction, the Auction
Properties, the Partnership and the Realty Partnership, including bidding
instructions, a bid form, a basic sales contract and various due diligence
materials for each of the Auction Properties, including the following:
 
  (i) the reports of Eckland Consultants;
 
  (ii) the preliminary title commitment;
 
  (iii) the termite inspection report;
 
  (iv) detailed operating statements for the last three full calendar years;
 
  (v) the rent roll;
 
  (vi) copies of leases and schedules of current lease rates and expirations;
 
  (vii) descriptions of all capital improvements of all assets reflected in
        the operating statement of the Auction Property;
 
  (viii) schedules of required and planned capital improvements, renovations
         and repairs;
 
  (ix) a summary of any mortgage debt on the Auction Property, including
       explanations of prepayment and assumption fee provisions; and
 
  (x) a property-level budget, together with all property-level contracts not
      cancelable on 30 days' notice.
 
The Bid Packages will also include audited consolidated operating statements
for the Partnership and the Realty Partnership for the last three full
calendar years, as well as any other information which the Agent may deem
useful and appropriate in soliciting bids.
 
  In the Settlement Agreement, the Spanos General Partners have agreed to
assist in accommodating all reasonable due diligence requests from potential
bidders, including providing (i) access to the books and records of the
Partnership, the Realty Partnership and the individual Auction Properties
(including the rent rolls, operating statements and budgets included in the
Bid Packages, and such other information as is reasonably necessary to verify
the income and expenses of the Properties), (ii) opportunities for interviews
with management personnel of Spanos and Spanos Realty, including property
managers, superintendents and leasing agents and (iii) on-site inspections of
the Auction Properties.
 
  To receive a Bid Package, a potential bidder must execute a confidentiality
agreement and demonstrate to the Agent's satisfaction that it has the
financial ability and legal capacity to prepare and submit a bona fide bid and
to undertake and perform all obligations arising upon acceptance of its bid.
 
  After distribution of the Bid Packages, the Agent will solicit bids from
qualified bidders (i.e., persons or entities which the Agent believes to have
the financial ability and legal capacity to prepare and submit a bona fide bid
in the Auction and to undertake and perform all obligations arising upon
acceptance of any bid they may submit) and will conduct the Auction.
 
  In the Auction, the Agent will neither favor nor disfavor the affiliate or
affiliates of the Spanos General Partners which submit the minimum required
bids described below.
 
  The Agent will establish an "Initial Bid Period," within which bidders may
conduct further due diligence and submit preliminary written bids. A bidder
may either bid for all of the Auction Properties of either the Partnership or
the Realty Partnership (an "Overall Bid") or for any one or more of the
Auction Properties of either the Partnership or the Realty Partnership (an
"Individual Bid"). A bid may be either an all cash bid or a combined bid of
cash plus assumption of related mortgage debt (if assumable), with the bidder
being responsible for any assumption fees or similar costs. A bidder of all
cash will be responsible for any mortgage prepayment penalties and
reconveyance costs, and must provide evidence of financial ability to support
the bid. At the close
 
                                      18
<PAGE>
 
of the Initial Bid Period, the Agent will review the bids received with P-B
Properties and Lead Class Counsel, and thereafter will encourage bids higher
than the previous high bid from bidders (other than the Spanos affiliate) who
have previously bid on a Property or Properties, for a period of no more than
30 days from the close of the Initial Bid Period. The Agent will then
determine the total of the highest of the Individual Bids submitted for each
of the Auction Properties, and the highest Overall Bid for all of the Auction
Properties, of each of the Partnership and the Realty Partnership. The Agent
will report the final bid results to P-B Properties and to Lead Class Counsel.
P-B Properties and Lead Class Counsel will then jointly determine the
"Successful Bids" (i.e., either the Overall Bid or the aggregate Individual
Bids which will, in the judgment of P-B Properties and Lead Class Counsel,
produce the highest gross cash price in excess of existing mortgage debt to
each of such partnerships).
 
  Upon determination of the Successful Bids, the Agent will immediately notify
the makers of those bids (the "Successful Bidders") and seek to obtain their
signatures on the basic sales contract included in the Bid Package.
 
  b. EXECUTION OF SALES CONTRACTS. The bid form will ask the Successful
Bidders to execute the basic sales contract immediately and promptly to
deposit the full purchase price into an escrow. However, the Agent will be
authorized to negotiate with each of the Successful Bidders as to the
definitive form of the sales contract, subject to approval by P-B Properties
and Lead Class Counsel. If any Successful Bidder fails or refuses to execute a
sales contract at the price and on the terms included in the Successful Bid
(with such modifications as may be approved as aforesaid), the Agent may, with
the concurrence of P-B Properties and Lead Class Counsel, substitute as the
Successful Bid for the Auction Property or Auction Properties in question the
bid or bids producing the next highest gross cash price in excess of existing
mortgage debt to the Partnership or the Realty Partnership, as the case may
be.
 
  c. MINIMUM SPANOS BID; NO OTHER BIDS OR PURCHASES BY SPANOS. Under the
Settlement Agreement, Spanos has agreed that one or more of its affiliates
(the "Spanos Bidder") will, at the outset of the Initial Bid Period, submit a
preliminary written Overall Bid which will provide to the Partnership a gross
cash price in excess of then-existing mortgage debt of at least $20,560,000
(the "Minimum Overall Bid"). In addition, Spanos has agreed that the Spanos
Bidder will submit preliminary written Individual Bids for each of the
Properties in amounts such that the aggregate gross cash price in excess of
existing mortgage debt for all of the Properties is at least $20,560,000.
 
  The following table sets forth the amount of each preliminary Individual Bid
which Spanos currently intends that the Spanos Bidder will submit:

  (1) Principal amount of mortgage debt outstanding as of December 31, 1997.
 
  As of December 31, 1997, the land, buildings and improvements on the Cameron
Creek Property were subject to mortgage debt of $12,815,000, and the land,
buildings and improvements on the Del Rio Property were subject to mortgage
debt of $7,233,000. Since as set forth above Spanos has determined that the
Spanos
 
                                      19
<PAGE>
 
Bidder's Individual Bids for each of the Le Parc Property, the Cameron Creek
Property and the Del Rio Property will be $10,000 over the existing mortgage
debt, the Partnership will receive a return of only $30,000 of its aggregate
$10,519,000 cash purchase price for such Properties, if the Spanos minimum
Individual Bids are the Successful Bids for such Properties. Unless the
Successful Bid for each of Cameron Creek and Del Rio exceeds the Spanos
Bidder's Individual Bid by a substantial amount ($3,490,000 in the case of
Cameron Creek and $1,990,000 in the case of Del Rio), the Spanos affiliate
which owns the buildings and improvements on such Property will not receive
any portion of the Auction proceeds.
   
  If the Spanos Bidder's guaranteed Minimum Overall Bid is the Successful Bid
for the Properties, Spanos estimates that the ultimate aggregate distributions
to Unitholders upon consummation of the Liquidation will be approximately $228
per Unit. See "Anticipated Results of Auction, Use of Proceeds and Cash
Distributions" below.     
 
  Under the Settlement Agreement, the Spanos Bidder may submit an improved
Individual Bid for one or more of the Properties during the re-bid period, and
may also improve any Overall Bid previously submitted. However, certain
Unitholders who were informed regarding the proposed conduct of the Auction
informally expressed concern that the ability of the Spanos Bidder to submit
improved Individual and Overall Bids could chill the interests of potential
third-party bidders in the Auction. Accordingly, Spanos has determined that,
after submission of the required Minimum Overall Bid and required initial
Individual Bids, neither the Spanos Bidder nor Spanos nor any other affiliate
of Spanos will submit improved bids during the re-bid period. Therefore, if
any third-party bidder submits an Overall Bid which exceeds the Minimum
Overall Bid of the Spanos Bidder, then the Spanos Bidder will not be the
Successful Bidder. Moreover, as to each Property, if any third-party bidder
submits an Individual Bid which exceeds the Spanos Bidder's initial Individual
Bid, then the Spanos Bidder will not be the Successful Bidder as to such
Property. Each of the bids submitted by the Spanos Bidder will be considered a
final bid and will remain open through the end of the re-bid period. If the
Spanos Bidder is the Successful Bidder with respect to one or more of the
Properties, it will be required to execute the basic sales contract without
change. It is presently anticipated that the Spanos Bidder will be A.G. Spanos
Construction, Inc., which will utilize its existing cash reserves and
presently available bank lines of credit to fund the purchase price of any
Property as to which it is the Successful Bidder.
 
  d. CONSUMMATION OF SALES OF PROPERTIES.  The bid form and the form of basic
sales contract will provide that the sale of a Property will be consummated as
soon as practicable after execution of the contract. At the closing of the
sale of each Property, the escrow agent for such property will be directed to
disburse the net sale proceeds to the Partnership.
 
  For a general discussion of the tax consequences from the sale of the
Properties, see "FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PLAN."
 
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES
   
  Seven of the Partnership's remaining Properties are apartment complexes, two
of which are located in suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia, two in suburbs of Kansas
City, Kansas and one each in San Diego, California, Louisville, Kentucky, and
Irving, Texas (a suburb of Dallas). Two of the Properties are parcels of land
underlying garden apartment complexes in Albuquerque, New Mexico and Fort
Worth, Texas, respectively.

ANTICIPATED RESULTS OF AUCTION, USE OF PROCEEDS AND CASH DISTRIBUTIONS
 
  The following table sets forth the anticipated application of the proceeds
from the Auction, as well as information regarding the estimated loss to be
realized per Unit upon sale of the Properties and termination of the
Partnership. The amount available for distribution to Unitholders shown below
assumes that: (i) the Spanos Bidder's guaranteed Minimum Overall Bid is the
Successful Bid for both the Partnership and the Realty Partnership and all of
the Auction Properties are purchased by the Spanos Bidder; and (ii) the costs
of the Auction and the solicitation of Consents are allocated between the
Partnership and the Realty Partnership in proportion to the amounts of the
Spanos Bidder's respective guaranteed Minimum Overall Bids. The amount
available for distribution to Unitholders would increase if the aggregate
sales price of the Properties exceeds the Spanos Bidder's guarantee by more
than the increased expenses of the Auction which will result from multiple
purchasers of the Properties.

</TABLE>    
- --------
(1) Auction expenses and Consent solicitation expenses are estimated amounts,
    and are allocated between the Partnership and the Realty Partnership as
    indicated in (ii) above. Expenses of the Auction will increase if there
    are multiple purchasers of the Properties (i.e., if the Spanos Bidder is
    not the sole Successful Bidder), but any such increase is not expected to
    be material.
(2) Estimated based upon assets and liabilities as of December 31, 1997.
(3) Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, and subject to the approval of the
    Court, the Partnership will pay to Lead Class Counsel, on behalf of the
    Unitholders, an amount not to exceed 8% of the amount otherwise
    distributable to the Unitholders from the Auction Proceeds.
(4) Of this amount, the General Partners initially will withhold $1,000,000
    ($15.47 per Unit) for a period of up to one year as a reserve against
    further unforeseen contingent obligations of the Partnership, including
    any liabilities which may arise under the sales contracts for the
    Properties.
(5) The Special Limited Partner Interests were issued to affiliates of Spanos
    in consideration of a cash capital contribution of $4,526,000, for
    reimbursement of $1,027,000 in refinancing fees paid to the Partnership's
    mortgage lenders and in consideration of certain cash flow guaranty
    payments made by such affiliates to the Partnership during the period from
    inception through June 30, 1992.
 
 
                                      22

(6) The Partnership Agreement provides that liquidating distributions are to
    be paid to the Unitholders, Special Limited Partners and General Partners
    in accordance with their positive capital account balances, after
    allocating the net income or loss from the terminating transaction. Based
    upon the foregoing assumptions, it is estimated that approximately
    $750,000 of the net income resulting from the Auction will be allocated to
    the General Partners, which would bring their capital accounts (currently
    a deficit of approximately $650,000) to a positive balance of
    approximately $100,000. (See "Distributions and Fees" below.)
(7) Assumes Unitholder held Units since first closing of Partnership's
    offering in 1987.
(8) Assumes contingency reserve is not utilized and is ultimately distributed
    to Unitholders. In addition, Unitholders who are not tax-exempt investors
    have received tax benefits from their investment in the Units, and many
    Unitholders will receive additional amounts under both the Settlement
    Agreement and the PSI Settlement Agreement described hereinafter under
    "CERTAIN PENDING LITIGATION."
 
AMENDMENT TO PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
 
  Pursuant to Section 15.4.20 of the Partnership Agreement, the General
Partners and their affiliates may not purchase real property from the
Partnership, other than in connection with joint ventures with the
Partnership. In order for an affiliate of Spanos to be able to bid for and, if
successful, to purchase any or all of the Properties, the Partnership
Agreement must be amended, which requires the approval of Unitholders holding
a majority of the outstanding Units. The Amendment will permit such a purchase
of the Properties, as set forth in Exhibit A hereto.
 
LIQUIDATION
 
  Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, within ten business days following the
closing of the sale of the last Property, the General Partners will cause the
Partnership (i) to pay all costs associated with the Auction, including the
solicitation of Consents from Unitholders and the preparation and mailing of
the notices required by the Settlement Agreement and the Court to be sent to
Unitholders for which bills have been received; (ii) to estimate and reserve
for all such costs associated with the Auction for which bills have not yet
been received; and (iii) to provide a further contingency reserve for
potential unforeseen costs and liabilities in an amount not to exceed
$1,000,000, such reserve to be maintained for a period not to exceed one year
from the closing of the sale of the final Property. The General Partners will
then cause the Partnership to distribute the balance of the cash from the
sales first, on behalf of the Unitholders, as attorneys' fees to Lead Class
Counsel, in such amount as has been awarded by the Court, which for the
Unitholders will not exceed eight percent (8%) of the amount otherwise
distributable to the Unitholders from the sales, and then to the Unitholders,
Special Limited Partners and General Partners as provided in the Partnership
Agreement. The remaining assets of the Partnership, and any remainder of the
contingency reserve, will be distributed to the Unitholders within one year
after the closing of the sale of the last Property. If any costs associated
with the Auction are not individually charged or allocated to the Partnership
or the Realty Partnership, the costs are to be allocated between the
Partnership and the Realty Partnership based on the gross cash amount in
excess of existing mortgage debt paid to either of them as a result of the
Auction, unless a more equitable method of allocation is agreed upon by P-B
Properties, Lead Class Counsel and the Spanos General Partners. Even if all
liabilities of the Partnership have not been satisfied after one year, the
remainder of the contingency reserve will be distributed to the Unitholders,
and the General Partners will remain obligated for such liabilities.
 
  Section 19.1 of the Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership will
terminate and be dissolved upon the disposition of all of the assets of the
Partnership and the receipt of the final cash payment of the purchase price of
all such assets.
 
DISTRIBUTIONS AND FEES
 
  The sale of all of the Partnership's Properties in the Auction will
constitute a "Terminating Sale or Disposition," as defined below. Pursuant to
Section 11.7 of the Partnership Agreement, a Terminating Sale or Disposition
invokes allocation and distribution requirements which differ in certain
respects from those that
 
                                      23
<PAGE>
 
would ordinarily result from sale or refinancing of one or more of the
Partnership's Properties. Section 11.7 and Section 11.4.4 of the Partnership
Agreement provide that any Net Income resulting from a Terminating Sale or
Disposition will be allocated first to Unitholders, Special Limited Partners
and General Partners who have negative capital account balances. As of the
date of this Solicitation Statement, only the General Partners had negative
capital account balances, which at December 31, 1997 aggregated approximately
$325,000 for each of the General Partners, and so an aggregate of
approximately $650,000 of the Net Income resulting from the Auction will be
allocated to the General Partners' capital accounts, bringing those accounts
to a zero balance. The remaining Net Income will next be allocated 2% to the
General Partners and 98% to the Unitholders and Special Limited Partners until
their capital account balances equal their Adjusted Contributions (i.e., the
original capital contribution of $1,000 per Unit less any prior distributions
of cash from sale or refinancing of Properties or from working capital
reserves). Since the capital account balances of the Special Limited Partners
currently equal their Adjusted Contributions, the General Partners will be
allocated approximately $50,000 each and all of the remaining Net Income will
be allocated to the Unitholders. Spanos does not anticipate that the Net
Income of the Partnership for the year 1998 (assuming all of the Properties
are sold in 1998) will be sufficient to restore the Unitholders' capital
account balances to the level of their Adjusted Contributions.
   
  As set forth under "Anticipated Results of Auction, Use of Proceeds and Cash
Distributions" above, and based on the assumptions therein stated, Spanos
estimates that upon completion of the Liquidation, the General Partners will
have received cash distributions aggregating approximately $100,000, the
Special Limited Partners (who are affiliates of Spanos) will have received
cash distributions of $6,862,000 and the Unitholders will have received
approximately $14,766,000 of cash distributions, in each case in addition to
those previously received.     
 
  A "Terminating Sale or Distribution" is defined in the Partnership Agreement
to be the earlier to occur of (i) the sale or disposition of the Partnership's
last three Properties commencing with the first such sale or (ii) the sale or
disposition of a Property which causes the aggregate acquisition cost of all
Properties which have been sold or disposed of to exceed 66% of the aggregate
original acquisition cost of all Properties. Because all of the Properties
will be sold in the Auction as part of a single plan of disposition, each sale
will be treated as a Terminating Sale or Disposition, regardless of the
closing dates of sales of the individual Properties.
 
  Neither of the General Partners will receive any fees in connection with the
sale of the Properties or the liquidation and dissolution of the Partnership.
However, as provided in the Partnership Agreement, the General Partners will
be entitled to receive cash distributions of approximately $50,000 each. Upon
sale of the Properties, the management fees and special distributions which
the General Partners presently receive will be eliminated. Furthermore, Spanos
has guaranteed that the Auction will generate gross proceeds of at least
$20,560,000 in excess of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all
existing mortgage debt on the Properties, the net amount of which (after
payment of expenses of the Auction, certain plaintiffs' attorneys' fees and
the expenses of liquidation of the Partnership and establishment of a
contingency reserve) will be available for distribution to the Unitholders,
Special Limited Partners and General Partners as provided in the Partnership
Agreement. Sales of the Properties and liquidation of the Partnership will
also eliminate any liability of the General Partners for future Partnership
obligations and risk to the Partnership which might arise from continued
operation of the Partnership.

                        PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
   
  On a pro forma basis, if the Plan had been consummated on December 31, 1997
under the assumptions described above under "THE PLAN--Anticipated Results of
Auction, Use of Proceeds and Cash Distributions," the Partnership's Balance
Sheet as of December 31, 1997 would have reflected cash of approximately
$21,728,000, limited partners' equity of approximately $14,766,000, special
limited partners' equity of approximately $6,862,000 and general partners'
equity of approximately $100,000, and the Partnership's income statement for
the year ended December 31, 1997 would have reflected a nonrecurring gain of
approximately $8,209,000.     
 
               FINANCIAL INFORMATION REGARDING GENERAL PARTNERS
 
  See the Index to Financial Statements for information regarding the audited
balance sheet of the Spanos General Partner as of its most recent fiscal year-
end, and the audited balance sheets of the general partners of the Spanos
General Partner as of their respective most recent fiscal year-ends. The
Spanos General Partner has no reason to believe that P-B Properties does not
have the financial ability to meet its obligation to make an additional
capital contribution to the Partnership with respect to its capital account
deficiency, pursuant to the Partnership Agreement. Moreover, as set forth
under "THE PLAN--Distributions and Fees," allocation of the net income which
will be produced by sale of the Properties pursuant to the Minimum Overall Bid
will result in elimination of the capital account deficiency of P-B Properties
and any obligation of P-B Properties to make an additional capital
contribution.
 
            MARKET PRICES OF UNITS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO UNITHOLDERS
 
MARKET PRICES
 
  The Units of the Partnership are not listed on any national securities
exchange or quoted on the NASDAQ System, and there is no established public
trading market for the Units. Secondary market activity for the Units has been
limited and sporadic. However, as a service to its clients, Prudential
Securities has facilitated sales to purchasers in a limited secondary market
for the Units. Limited information available to Spanos from secondary market
sources indicates that bid prices in the limited secondary market have ranged
from a low of approximately $192 per Unit to a high of approximately $291 per
Unit during the period from the first quarter of 1996 through November of
1997. Such bid prices may not reflect actual transactions, and the proceeds to
a seller of Units would be reduced by sales commissions, which may be
substantial, and transfer fees payable to the Partnership.
 
  Prudential Securities was the principal distributor of the Units in the
Partnership's public offering, and continues to provide certain investor
services on a contractual basis, including processing of all transfers of
Units, subject to the approval of the General Partners. Prudential Securities
has advised Spanos that the transfer records for the Partnership reflect the
following aggregate numbers of Units transferred in the past five years:

</TABLE>
 
Generally, no information regarding the prices at which Units were sold is
available from the Partnership's transfer records, and the transfers reflected
in the above table include non-sale transactions.
 
  Spanos believes that the limited amount of information available regarding
transfers of Units and bid prices does not reflect sufficient market activity
to be representative of the market value of the Units, and such
 
                                      25
<PAGE>
 
information should not be relied upon as being indicative of the ability of
Unitholders to sell their Units in secondary market transactions or as to the
prices at which such Units may be sold. Therefore, the information presented
should not be relied upon by Unitholders in determining whether or not to
consent to the Plan.
 
  On January 31, 1997, Equity Resource Fund XX, an entity not affiliated with
either of the General Partners, commenced a limited tender offer for up to
2,000 Units (3.1% of the outstanding Units) at a cash price of $175.00 per
Unit. The tender offer was scheduled to expire on March 1, 1997, and to the
knowledge of the General Partners was not extended. Based upon the
Partnership's records, it appears that a total of 412 Units were purchased in
this tender offer.
 
  On February 12, 1997, First Trust Co., L.P., an entity not affiliated with
either of the General Partners, commenced a tender offer for up to 4.9% of the
outstanding Units (approximately 3,168 Units) at a cash price of $190.00 per
Unit, less any distributions made by the Partnership to tendering Unitholders
after February 1, 1997. This tender offer was scheduled to expire on March 17,
1997, and to the knowledge of the General Partners was not extended. Based
upon the Partnership's records, it appears that a total of 492 Units were
purchased in this tender offer.
 
  On April 21, 1997, Kensington Partners LLC, an entity not affiliated with
either of the General Partners, commenced a limited tender offer for up to
1,940 Units (3.0% of the outstanding Units) at a cash price of $265.00 per
Unit, less the transfer fee of $75 payable to the Partnership and less any
cash distributions made by the Partnership to the tendering Unitholders after
April 1, 1997. This tender offer was scheduled to expire on May 19, 1997, and
to the knowledge of the General Partners was not extended. Based upon Units
presented by Kensington Partners LLC to the General Partners for transfer, it
appears that a total of 215 Units were purchased in this tender offer.
 
DISTRIBUTIONS TO UNITHOLDERS
 
  The Partnership has made quarterly cash distributions to the Unitholders
since its inception. Such distributions were made from operating cash flow,
from proceeds of sales of Properties and from funds received under a cash flow
guaranty made by affiliates of Spanos at the inception of the Partnership,
which expired in 1990. Due to insufficient cash flow, the Partnership reduced
its cash distributions in 1991. The following table sets forth the amounts of
such distributions per Unit.

                              FEDERAL INCOME TAX
                           CONSEQUENCES OF THE PLAN
 
GENERAL
 
  Approval of the Plan has certain tax implications to the Unitholders that
should be considered. The following discussion summarizes the material federal
income tax consequences arising from the Partnership's proposed sale of the
Properties and provides a general overview of certain state income tax
considerations. This summary is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the "Code"), Treasury Regulations, court decisions and published
positions of the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"), as currently in effect.
There can be no assurance that the IRS will agree with the conclusions stated
herein or that future legislative or administrative changes or court decisions
will not significantly modify the federal or state income tax laws regarding
the matters described herein, potentially with retroactive effect. This
summary is addressed only to Unitholders who are United States persons within
the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, deals only with Units that are
held as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code and is
not intended to be and should not be considered as an opinion respecting the
federal or state income tax consequences of the Plan. In addition, this
summary does not address the tax consequences that may be relevant to
Unitholders in special tax situations (including, for example, life insurance
companies, dealers in securities or currency, banks or other financial
institutions, or Units held as a hedge or as part of a hedging, straddle or
conversion transaction). ACCORDINGLY, UNITHOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX
ADVISORS CONCERNING THE APPLICATION OF UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS,
AS WELL AS THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN TAXING JURISDICTION, TO
THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS.
 
  Certain United States federal income tax consequences associated with an
investment in the Units were discussed in the Prospectus, dated February 24,
1987, covering the original public offering of the Units. This summary does
not update that discussion; rather it discusses only the federal income tax
aspects directly relevant to the Plan.
 
PARTNERSHIP TAXATION
 
  This summary assumes, and Spanos believes, that the Partnership has been and
will continue to be properly classified as a partnership for federal income
tax purposes. An entity that is classified as a partnership is not subject to
federal income tax. Instead, each partner in the partnership is required to
take into account in computing his or her income tax liability the partner's
allocable share of the partnership's items of income, gain, loss, deduction
and credit.
 
SALE OF PROPERTIES
 
  The Partnership will have taxable gain or loss upon its sale of each
Property, measured by the difference between the amount realized on the sale
(generally, cash or other consideration received reduced by the expenses of
sale) and the Partnership's adjusted basis in such Property. The "adjusted
basis" of a Property generally is its cost plus the amount of any capital
expenditures (such as improvements) minus the amount of depreciation and
amortization.
 
  Assuming (i) the Spanos guaranteed Minimum Overall Bid is the Successful Bid
for the Properties, (ii) the selling expenses (including Lead Class Counsel's
legal fees) are $1,775,000 and (iii) the sales are consummated in 1998, Spanos
estimates that the total net gain resulting from the sale of the Properties
would be approximately $5.3 million. The amount of gain realized on the sale
of the Properties will depend upon the actual sales prices and the actual
selling expenses and legal fees incurred in connection with the sale of the
Properties.
 
  Any such gain or loss generally will constitute Section 1231 gain or Section
1231 loss (i.e., gains or losses from disposition of real property or
depreciable personal property used in a trade or business and held for more
 
                                      28

than one year, other than property held for sale to customers in the ordinary
course of business). A Unitholder's share of the gains or losses from the
sales of the Properties would be combined with any other Section 1231 gains or
Section 1231 losses of the Unitholder for that year. Net Section 1231 gains or
net Section 1231 losses generally would be treated as long-term capital gain
or ordinary loss, as the case may be. However, a Unitholder's net Section 1231
gains would be treated as ordinary income rather than capital gain to the
extent of his or her net Section 1231 losses, if any, incurred in the five
preceding years. Furthermore, in the event that a Property is sold at a gain,
the depreciation expense may be recaptured as ordinary income under Section
1245 or Section 1250 of the Code to the extent of the realized gain. In
general, under Section 1250, if real property is depreciated on an accelerated
basis rather than on a straight-line basis, then the lesser of (i) any gain
realized on disposition of the property or (ii) the excess of accelerated
depreciation over straight-line depreciation as of the date of sale will be
treated as ordinary income in the year the property is sold. The Partnership
does not expect to have any gain from the sale of the Properties subject to
recapture under Section 1250 of the Code. Spanos estimates that approximately
$1.6 million of the gain would be subject to recapture as ordinary income
under Section 1245 of the Code if the Properties are sold for the Minimum
Overall Bid. Unitholders classified as corporations for federal income tax
purposes may be required, under Section 291(a) of the Code, to treat 20% of
the gain from the sale of a Property attributable to depreciation expense not
subject to recapture under Section 1250 as ordinary income instead of Section
1231 gain. The total amount of gain subject to Section 291(a) ordinary income
treatment for a corporate Unitholder is estimated to be approximately $2.1
million (approximately $28 per Unit).     
 
  Under Section 702(a)(3) of the Code, a partnership is required to state
separately, and the partners are required to account separately for, their
distributive share of all gains and losses of their partnership. Accordingly,
each Unitholder's allocable share of the gains or losses from the sale of the
Properties (including each Unitholder's allocable share of Section 291(a)
gain, Section 1245 gain, Section 1231 gain or Section 1231 loss) will be
separately stated and reflected on the applicable Schedule K-1 forms provided
to the Unitholders by the Partnership.
 
  For most tax-exempt Unitholders, only a portion of the gain from the sale of
the Properties would be treated as unrelated business income. Under Section
514(a) of the Code, gain from the sale of "debt-financed property" is treated
as unrelated business income generally in an amount equal to a ratio
determined by comparing the property's debt to its basis. The Del Rio and
Cameron Creek Properties are not debt-financed property, and therefore none of
the estimated $5.5 million taxable loss on their sale is expected to
constitute unrelated business income. The other seven Properties are debt-
financed, and if they are sold for the estimated total gain of approximately
$10.8 million, Spanos estimates that the portion of the gain that will be
treated as unrelated business income is $9.6 million (or $128 per unit).
Additional unrelated business income may result to a tax-exempt Unitholder
which borrowed funds to purchase its Units. Tax-exempt Unitholders should
consult their own tax advisors regarding the unrelated trade or business
income that may result from the sale of the Properties.
 
TAX ALLOCATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
 
  Gain (or loss) from the sale of the Properties will be allocated to the
Partners in accordance with the Partnership Agreement. Allocations of a
partnership's items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit will be
respected for federal income tax purposes if they have substantial economic
effect or are otherwise made in accordance with the partners' economic
interests in the partnership. This summary assumes, and Spanos believes, that
the allocations of Partnership items of income, gain, loss, deduction and
credit to the Unitholders have substantial economic effect or are otherwise in
accordance with the Unitholders' economic interests in the Partnership.
 
  In general, under the Partnership Agreement, any Net Income in connection
with a Terminating Sale or Disposition will be allocated among the Partners
(prior to making distributions of sale proceeds) first to restore the General
Partners' negative capital account balances and then 98% to Unitholders and 2%
to the General Partners. If the Net Income of the Partnership for the year
1998 is not sufficient to restore the Unitholders' capital account balances to
the level of their Adjusted Contributions, then the Partnership Agreement
provides that the
 
                                      29
<PAGE>
 
Units held by earlier-admitted Unitholders are to be allocated more of the
gain from the sale of the Properties in order to equalize their per-Unit
capital accounts with those of the later-admitted Unitholders. See "THE PLAN--
Distributions and Fees." If the Properties are sold for the Minimum Overall
Bid, Spanos estimates that a Unit acquired on the earliest closing date will
be allocated approximately $123 of the gain, and a Unit acquired on the last
closing date will be allocated none of the gain. Approximately $41 of gain
allocated to a Unit acquired on the earliest closing date would be
characterized as Section 1245 income, with the balance characterized as
Section 1231 gain. To the extent that the actual gain on the Properties is
more than that estimated above, the per-Unit allocation of such gain would be
correspondingly higher. Any allocation of gain (or loss) from the sale of
Properties will increase (or decrease) a Unitholder's basis in the Units.
 
  In general, under the Partnership Agreement, loss from the sale of a
Property must be allocated 2% to the General Partners and 98% to the
Unitholders. However, in such circumstances a special allocation of gross
rental income (depending upon the ultimate sales proceeds) would be made to P-
B Properties to reduce its negative capital account by a comparable amount,
and an equal amount of loss will be allocated among the Unitholders.
Allocation of loss will reduce a Unitholder's basis in the Units. However, no
loss can be utilized currently to the extent the loss exceeds the Unitholder's
basis in the Units.
 
  Distributions to a Unitholder will generally not be taxable to the extent
the distributions do not exceed the Unitholder's adjusted tax basis in the
Units. For purposes of determining tax basis in a Unitholder's Units, any
payment received by the Unitholder from the settlement fund established
pursuant to the PSI Settlement Agreement (see "CERTAIN PENDING LITIGATION"),
or from any other settlements related to the Units, should be applied to
reduce such Unitholder's adjusted tax basis. The tax basis in the Units will
also be reduced by the distributions. To the extent any settlement payment and
the distributions exceed the adjusted tax basis, such excess will generally be
treated as capital gain, which will be long-term if the applicable Units have
been held for more than one year. Unitholders who have remaining tax basis in
their Units after termination of the Partnership will generally have a capital
loss. Such capital loss can be used to offset any net Section 1231 gains that
have not been otherwise characterized as ordinary income, but only if such
capital loss occurs in the same year as the net Section 1231 gain. Net capital
losses of taxpayers other than corporations may not be carried back to earlier
years.
 
  It is not expected that the Partnership will terminate for federal income
tax purposes in the year in which the Properties are sold, because a reserve
for potential unforeseen costs and liabilities will be established and
maintained for a period not to exceed one year from the closing of the sale of
the final Property. Accordingly, a Unitholder will likely be allocated gain
from the sale of the Properties in a different year than termination of the
Partnership, which may result in a capital loss to a Unitholder which cannot
be used to offset the gain from the sale of the Properties.
   
  Based on the estimated net gain of $5.3 million, Spanos estimates that after
payment of the selling expenses incurred in connection with the sale of the
Properties and other expenses and liabilities of the Partnership and certain
attorneys' fees, the amount available for distribution to Unitholders would be
approximately $228 per Unit.     
 
CAPITAL GAINS TAX
   
  With respect to individuals, trusts and estates, the Taxpayer Relief Act of
1997 ("TRA") generally reduces the maximum tax rate on net capital gains on
capital assets held for more than 18 months to 20% and provides a maximum tax
rate on net capital gains derived from capital assets held for more than one
year and for not more than 18 months ("mid-term gains") of 28%. TRA does not
affect the taxation of capital gains realized by corporations. Substantially
all of the Partnership's assets have been held for longer than 18 months.
Accordingly, a substantial portion of any Section 1231 gains of the
Partnership realized on the sale of assets and allocable to Unitholders who
are individuals, trusts and estates may be taxed at a maximum federal income
tax rate of 20% (if such gains are not recharacterized as ordinary income as
described above under "Sale of Properties," or are not subject to the special
tax rate described in the next paragraph).     
 
                                      30
<PAGE>
 
  Under TRA, individuals, trusts and estates are taxed on unrecaptured Section
1250 gain at a maximum federal income tax rate of 25%. Unrecaptured Section
1250 gain generally equals the excess of (i) the lesser of the gain realized
on disposition of depreciable real property or depreciation allowed or
allowable on the property through the date of disposition, over (ii) the
amount of depreciation recapture realized upon the disposition (as described
above under "Sale of Properties"). Spanos believes that substantially all of
the gain realized upon the sale of the Partnership's assets pursuant to the
transactions described herein will be unrecaptured Section 1250 gain.
 
  Net capital losses of such a Unitholder can be utilized to offset ordinary
income limited to the sum of net capital gains from other sources recognized
by the Unitholder during the tax year, plus $3,000 ($1,500 in the case of a
married individual filing a separate return). The excess amount of such net
capital loss may be carried forward and utilized in subsequent years subject
to the same limitations but may not be carried back to a prior year.
 
  Unitholders classified as corporations are taxed on capital gains at the
same rates as ordinary income. A corporate Unitholder can deduct capital
losses only to the extent of capital gains, with any unused capital losses
generally being carried back three years and forward five years.
   
PASSIVE LOSS LIMITATIONS     
 
  Unitholders that are individuals, trusts, estates, closely held corporations
or personal service corporations are subject to the passive activity loss
limitations rules. A Unitholder's allocable share of Partnership income or
loss is treated as derived from a passive activity, except to the extent of
the Partnership's portfolio income, which includes interest, dividends and
gains from the sale of property held for investment purposes. A Unitholder's
allocable share of any Partnership gain realized on the sale of its Properties
(other than gain from the sale of portfolio investments) will be characterized
as passive activity income that may be offset by passive activity losses from
other passive activity investments. If all of the Properties are sold, a
Unitholder's allocable share of any Partnership loss realized on such sale, or
any loss realized by the Unitholder upon liquidation of his or her Units, will
not be subject to the passive activity loss limitations. In addition, upon the
complete disposition of a Unitholder's entire interest in the Partnership, any
suspended passive activity losses of the Unitholder with respect to his or her
investment in the Partnership could be used to reduce other income of the
Unitholder.
 
FINAL PARTNERSHIP RETURNS AND FUTURE TAX ISSUES
 
  Following the termination of the Partnership, the General Partners, on
behalf of the Partnership, will file a final tax return for the Partnership,
and on a timely basis will provide Schedule K-1 forms to all Unitholders
setting forth their allocable shares of the Partnership's items of income,
gain, loss, deduction and credit. P-B Properties will also have full
responsibility and authority for any other tax-related matter arising after
the termination of the Partnership, including acting as the "tax matters
partner" representing the Partnership in any federal or other audit of returns
of the Partnership for its final year or any prior year.
 
  Unitholders should understand that while the Partnership will be terminated,
such termination will not eliminate the possibility that the IRS could
challenge the tax treatment of the Partnership's activities for the year of
termination or any prior year for which the statute of limitations for making
adjustments has not elapsed. If any adjustments are made to the Partnership's
income tax returns, P-B Properties will so notify the Unitholders. Any tax
audit or adjustments could result in assessment of additional tax liabilities
upon the Unitholders which would be payable from their own funds and would not
be reimbursable by the General Partners or the Partnership.
 
CERTAIN STATE INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
 
  Because each state's tax law varies, it is impossible to predict the tax
consequences to the Unitholders in all the states in which they are already
subject to tax. Accordingly, the following is a general summary of certain
 
                                      31
<PAGE>
 
common (but not necessarily uniform) principles of state income taxation.
State tax consequences to each Unitholder will depend upon the provisions of
the state tax laws to which the Unitholder is subject. The Partnership will
generally be treated as engaged in business in each of the states in which the
Properties are located, and the Unitholders will generally be treated as doing
business in such state and therefore subject to tax in such state. Most states
modify or adjust the taxpayer's federal taxable income to arrive at the amount
of income potentially subject to state tax. Resident individuals generally pay
state tax on 100 percent of such state-modified income, while corporations and
other taxpayers generally pay state tax only on that portion of state-modified
income assigned to the taxing state under the state's own apportionment and
allocation rules.
 
                              NO APPRAISAL RIGHTS
 
  If Unitholders owning a majority of the Units on the Record Date vote in
favor of the Plan, such approval will bind all Unitholders. The Partnership
Agreement and the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, under
which the Partnership is governed, do not give rights of appraisal or similar
rights to Unitholders who dissent from the vote of the majority in approving
or disapproving the Plan. Accordingly, dissenting Unitholders do not have the
right to have their Units appraised or to have the value of their Units paid
to them if they disapprove of the action of a majority in interest of the
Unitholders.
 
                VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF
 
  On the Record Date, there were 64,660 Units issued and outstanding and
entitled to vote on matters upon which Unitholders may vote or consent.
According to publicly available information, and to the best knowledge of
Spanos, as of the Record Date, no person or entity owned more than 5% of the
outstanding Units. As of the Record Date, neither of the General Partners nor
any officer or director thereof, nor any officer or director of either of the
general partners of Spanos, owned any Units. Prudential Securities
beneficially owned 1,920 Units as of the Record Date and has advised Spanos
that it intends to vote such Units to consent or withhold consent to the Plan
in the same proportions as do the other Unitholders.
 
                          CERTAIN PENDING LITIGATION
 
  There is currently pending in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York (the "Court") a class action entitled In re
Prudential Securities Incorporated Limited Partnerships Litigation, MDL Docket
No. 1005, M-21-67 (MP). The consolidated action had its genesis in several
different class actions filed in various courts, all of which were transferred
to a single judge and consolidated for pretrial proceedings under the
aforementioned caption.* On June 8, 1994, plaintiffs in the consolidated
action filed a Consolidated Complaint that superseded the individual
complaints previously filed in various courts and that was purportedly brought
on behalf of a class of approximately 350,000 investors who had purchased
units in approximately 700 limited partnerships sponsored or co-sponsored by
P-B Properties or its affiliates (collectively the "Prudential Organization").
The Consolidated Complaint named as defendants, among others, Prudential
Securities, P-B Properties, certain of the affiliates and present and former
officers and employees of the aforementioned, and the co-general partners of
other partnerships sponsored or co-sponsored by the Prudential Organization,
including Spanos. The Partnership is not named as a defendant in the
Consolidated Complaint, but the Partnership is listed as being among the
limited partnerships at issue in the case.
- --------
*  The various consolidated cases are: Bottner v. A.G. Spanos Residential
   Partners-86, et al., 93 Civ. 7708 (S.D.N.Y.); Kahn v. Prudential-Bache
   Properties, Inc., et al., 93 Civ. 5976 (S.D.N.Y.); Dumbroff, et al. v.
   Avron B. Fogelman, et al., 93 Civ. 6261 (S.D.N.Y.); Gorman v. Almahurst,
   Inc., et al., 93 Civ. 8805 (S.D.N.Y.); Kinnes, et al. v. Prudential
   Securities Group, Inc., et al., 93 Civ. 654 (D. Ariz.); Massad, et al. v.
   Prudential Insurance Co., et al., 93 Civ. 5095 (D.N.J.); Levine, et al. v.
   Prudential-Bache Properties Inc., et al., 92 Civ. 52 (N.D. Ill.); Connelly,

   Ariz.).
 
 
                                      32

  The Consolidated Complaint alleges violations of the federal and New Jersey
Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act ("RICO") statutes, fraud,
negligent misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duties, breach of third-party
beneficiary contracts and breach of implied covenants in connection with the
marketing and sales of limited partnership interests. Plaintiffs request
relief in the nature of rescission of the purchase of securities and recovery
of all consideration and expenses in connection therewith, as well as
compensation for lost use of money invested less cash distributions;
compensatory damages; consequential damages; treble damages for defendants'
alleged RICO violations (both federal and New Jersey); general damages for all
injuries allegedly resulting from negligence, fraud, breaches of contract, and
breaches of duty in an amount to be determined at trial; disgorgement and
restitution of all earnings, profits, benefits, and compensation received by
defendants as a result of their allegedly unlawful acts; and costs and
disbursements of the action. On August 9, 1995, P-B Properties, Prudential
Securities and other Prudential Organization defendants (collectively the "PSI
Settling Defendants") entered into a Stipulation and Agreement of Partial
Compromise and Settlement (the "PSI Settlement Agreement") with plaintiffs in
the consolidated action. The Court preliminarily approved the PSI Settlement
Agreement by order dated August 29, 1995 and, following a hearing held
November 17, 1995, found that the PSI Settlement Agreement was fair,
reasonable, adequate and in the best interests of the plaintiff class. The
court gave final approval to the settlement, certified a class of purchasers
of interests in specific limited partnerships, including the Partnership,
released all settled claims by members of the class against the PSI Settling
Defendants and permanently barred and enjoined class members from instituting,
commencing or prosecuting any settled claim against the released parties.
Pursuant to the PSI Settlement Agreement, PSI and its affiliates paid a total
of $110,000,000 into a settlement fund for distribution to members of the
plaintiff class, including Unitholders who purchased their Units prior to June
8, 1994. The consolidated action remained pending against Spanos and certain
of its affiliates, as well as other co-general partners of other partnerships,
including Spanos Realty. The Partnership is not named a defendant in the
Consolidated Complaint and the action is not expected to have a material
effect on the Partnership's financial condition; accordingly, no provision for
any loss that may result upon resolution of the Consolidated Complaint has
been made in the financial statements of the Partnership.     
   
  On May 12, 1997, Spanos and those of its affiliates named as defendants in
the consolidated action entered into the Settlement Agreement with the
plaintiffs therein. P-B Properties is not a party to the Settlement Agreement,
but has acknowledged the Settlement and agreed to be bound by certain
provisions of the Settlement Agreement which require that P-B Properties take,
or forbear from taking, certain actions in connection with the Plan. The
Settlement Agreement requires, among other things, that Spanos use its best
efforts to solicit the consent of the Unitholders of the Partnership for the
Auction and the subsequent termination and dissolution of the Partnership. In
addition to the provisions for the Auction, the minimum Spanos bids and the
contingency reserve, the Settlement Agreement provides that Spanos and its
affiliates will pay (i) $1,175,000 into a settlement fund, to be distributed
to members of the plaintiff class, including Unitholders who purchased their
Units prior to June 8, 1994, (ii) $100,000 for the costs of providing notice
to the members of the plaintiff class and (iii) $500,000 to Lead Class
Counsel. On May 19, 1997, the Court preliminarily certified two settlement
classes and preliminarily approved the Settlement. For a more detailed
description of the Settlement and the rights of Unitholders in connection
therewith, refer to the NOTICE TO EQUITABLE CLASS OF PENDENCY OF CLASS ACTION,
PROPOSED PARTIAL SETTLEMENT OF CLASS ACTION BY THE SPANOS DEFENDANTS,
REQUIREMENT FOR MAJORITY CONSENT TO THE AUCTION OF THE PROPERTIES OF CERTAIN
PARTNERSHIPS AS PART OF THE SPANOS SETTLEMENT, SETTLEMENT FAIRNESS HEARING,
RIGHT TO APPEAR AT HEARING AND RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE SETTLEMENT, which
accompanies this Solicitation Statement.     
 
  On or about April 15, 1994, a multiparty petition entitled Schreiber, et al.
v. Prudential Securities, Inc., et al. (Cause No. 94-17696) was filed in the
189th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas, purportedly on behalf
of investors in the Partnership against the Partnership, the General Partners,
Prudential Securities, The Prudential Insurance Company of America and a
number of other defendants. The Petition alleges common law fraud, fraud in
the inducement and negligent misrepresentation in connection with the offering
of limited partnership interests and negligence, breach of fiduciary duty,
civil conspiracy, and violations of the federal
 
                                      33
<PAGE>
 
Securities Act of 1933 (sections 11 and 12) and of the Texas Securities and
Deceptive Trade Practices statutes. The suit seeks, among other things,
compensatory and punitive damages, costs and attorneys' fees. Most of the
plaintiffs have released their claims against the defendants in exchange for
monetary payments by Prudential Securities. It is expected that the remaining
claims will be resolved by Prudential Securities at no cost to the
Partnership. Accordingly, no provision for any loss that may result upon
resolution of this matter has been made in the financial statements of the
Partnership.

To the Partners
A.G. SPANOS RESIDENTIAL PARTNERS-86, A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
Stockton, California
 
  We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of A.G. SPANOS RESIDENTIAL
PARTNERS-86, A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, as of September 30, 1997. This
financial statement is the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on this financial statement based on
our audit.
 
  We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the balance sheet is free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the balance sheet. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall balance sheet
presentation. We believe that our audit of the balance sheet provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
  In our opinion, the balance sheet referred to above presents fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of A.G. SPANOS RESIDENTIAL PARTNERS-
86, A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, as of September 30, 1997, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

     A.G. SPANOS RESIDENTIAL PARTNERS-86, A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
 
                            NOTES TO BALANCE SHEET
 
NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
   
NATURE OF BUSINESS     
 
  A.G. Spanos Residential Partners-86, A California Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership"), was organized under the laws of the State of California on
January 15, 1987 and will continue until December 31, 2026, unless previously
terminated in accordance with the provisions of the Limited Partnership
Agreement.
 
  AGS Financial Corporation ("AGS") and A.G. Spanos Realty, Inc. ("Realty")
are the general partners of the Partnership, and Mr. A.G. Spanos, Mr. Dean A.
Spanos, Mr. Michael A. Spanos, Mr. Barry L. Ruhl, Mrs. Dea Spanos Berberian
and the Spanos Grandchildren's Trust are the limited partners of the
Partnership. On January 13, 1987, the general partners contributed $10 each
for their interest and the limited partners contributed $980 for their
interests in the Partnership.
 
  The Partnership was organized for the sole purpose of becoming a general
partner in Prudential-Bache/A.G. Spanos Genesis Income Partners L.P., I, a
Delaware limited partnership ("Genesis Income Partners L.P., I"). Genesis
Income Partners L.P., I acquired (from sellers affiliated with the
Partnership) 13 apartment projects and land subject to ground leases improved
with existing apartment projects, and has and will continue to operate these
properties until the projects and land are sold.
 
  The books of the Partnership are kept on the accrual basis of accounting and
the Partnership's fiscal year ends September 30.
 
INCOME TAXES
 
  No federal or state income taxes have been reflected in the accompanying
balance sheet because the Partnership is not a tax-paying entity, and all tax
consequences flow to the individual partners.
   
INVESTMENT IN PARTNERSHIP     
 
  The Partnership reflects its investment in Genesis Income Partners L.P., I
using the equity method of accounting, whereby the Partnership's cash
investment is reduced by cash distributions to the Partnership and by the
Partnership's proportionate share of the net loss of Genesis Income Partners
L.P., I. Since distributions and allocated losses exceed the Partnership's
investment, the balance has been classified as a liability.
   
USE OF ESTIMATES     
 
  The preparation of the balance sheet in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reporting amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
   
LAWSUITS     
 
  The Partnership has been named as a defendant in a "consolidated" complaint
that supersedes separate class action complaints that were filed during the
1993 calendar year. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages for economic
injury suffered by them for their investment in Genesis Income Partners L.P.,
I. Among other things, the plaintiffs allege that the Partnership earned
excess fees for the syndication of the entity.
 
  During the year ended September 30, 1994, the Partnership was named as a
defendant in two separate lawsuits. Both lawsuits contend that investors were
induced to purchase units in limited partnerships by fraudulent
misrepresentations. One lawsuit settled with no liability to the Partnership
during the year.
   
  During the year ended September 30, 1995, the Partnership was named as a
defendant in a lawsuit. The lawsuit contended that the plaintiff purchased
units in limited partnerships because of misrepresentations by the
Partnership. On May 12, 1997, the Partnership and certain of its affiliates
entered into a Stipulation of Settlement with legal counsel representing the
plaintiff class in the consolidated actions. The settlement contemplates,
among other things, the sale of all of the properties of Genesis Income
Partners L.P., I at public auction and the subsequent liquidation and
dissolution of Genesis Income Partners L.P., I. The settlement agreement was
preliminarily approved by the Court on May 19, 1997. Pursuant to the
settlement, detailed information about the proposed auction sale and other
terms of the settlement will be sent to the Unitholders of Genesis Income
Partners L.P., I with proxy solicitation materials seeking the Unitholders'
consent to the auction sale. The settlement agreement contains numerous
conditions and must be finally approved by the Court at a fairness hearing at
which the Unitholders and other interested parties will have an opportunity to
be heard. There can be no assurance that the conditions to implementation of
the settlement will be satisfied.     
 
  The Partnership believes it has meritorious defenses in all pending cases
and that adverse decisions in any or all of these cases would be covered by
indemnification agreements from co-defendants, or by insurance, and would not
have a material effect on the financial condition of the Partnership. It is
impossible at this point to evaluate the likely outcome and estimate any
amount or range of potential losses. Accordingly, the Partnership has not
accrued a contingent loss on the balance sheet.

                      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET
 
NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
NATURE OF BUSINESS
 
  AGS Financial Corporation syndicates and functions as general partner in
real estate limited partnerships. One of the Company's wholly-owned
subsidiaries, AGS Securities Corporation, is inactive. The two other wholly-
owned subsidiaries, Residential Portfolio Depository Corp. and AGS Depository
Corp., are assignor limited partners in public syndications.
 
  The Company earns fees for services that it renders to the partnerships,
which are generally located in the Western and Sunbelt states. In addition,
the Company may advance funds to the partnerships. The Company's receivables
consist primarily of these fees and advances. Such receivables are not
secured. However, the Company generally has priority on the proceeds from the
sale of the real estate when such sales occur. This priority is subordinated
only to the mortgage debt secured by such property
 
  A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies follows:
 
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
 
  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions are
eliminated in consolidation.
 
USE OF ESTIMATES
 
  The preparation of the balance sheet in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reporting amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
 
INVESTMENTS IN PARTNERSHIPS
 
  The Company's general partner investment in these entities is reflected
using the equity method of accounting, whereby the Company's cash investment
is reduced by partnership distributions to the Company and by the Company's
proportionate share of net losses of the partnerships. In the partnerships
where allocated losses exceed the Company's investment, the balance has been
classified as a liability.
 
FURNITURE AND EQUIPMENT
 
  Furniture and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using either
the straight-line method or double declining balance method over five years.

               NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET--(CONTINUED)
 
NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT.)
 
INCOME TAXES
 
  The Company and its subsidiaries file consolidated federal and state income
tax returns. To the extent that undistributed earnings of the subsidiaries are
expected to be indefinitely invested in the subsidiaries' business, no
provisions is made for income taxes which would be payable if these earnings
were paid as dividends to the parent company.
 
  Deferred taxes are provided on temporary differences between the recognition
of revenues and expenses for tax and accounting purposes using the tax rates
at which the differences are expected to reverse in accordance with the
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes."
 
  The major sources of deferred income taxes are the use of accelerated
depreciation in the partnerships, cash basis reporting by the Company for tax
purposes, and the treatment of partnership fees as guaranteed payments for tax
purposes.
   
CASH     
 
  For purposes of reporting the statements of cash flows, the Company includes
all cash accounts which are not subject to withdrawal restrictions or
penalties, and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of
three months or less as cash on the accompanying balance sheet.
 
  Frequently, the Company had cash amounts deposited in a financial
institution in excess of federally insured limits. As of August 31, 1997 there
was $1,094,053 deposited in excess of federally insured limits.
 
NOTE 2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
   
COMPANY-SPONSORED LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS     
 
  As managing general partner or pursuant to agreements with each of the
limited partnerships, the Company performs certain services for which it
receives compensation. Fees receivable from partnerships for services
performed were $950,229 at August 31,1997. The Company also makes short-term
advances to the partnerships which are reimbursed as cash flow permits.
Advances were $43,762 at August 31, 1997.
   
PURCHASE AND MANAGEMENT OF REAL ESTATE PROJECTS     
 
  All but one of the company-sponsored limited partnerships have purchased
real estate projects from entities owned by several of the shareholders of the
Company. A corporation owned by several shareholders provides property
management services to all of the real estate partnerships organized by the
Company.
   
NOTES RECEIVABLE FROM AFFILIATED PARTNERSHIPS     
 
  The Company has made loans to company-sponsored limited partnerships in
order to allow the partnerships to meet their cash needs. In addition, the
Company has taken back notes for unreimbursed offering and organization costs
incurred during the formation of several partnerships. Notes receivable from
partnerships were $1,057,878 at August 31, 1997. Interest of $622,384 has
accrued on these notes at August 31, 1997.

NOTE 2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONT.)
   
ADVANCES FROM AFFILIATED COMPANY     
 
  The Company owes affiliates $46,611 at August 31, 1997, for working capital
advances by the affiliates. The advances are payable on demand. Accrued
interest owed to affiliates of $12,346 at August 31, 1997, has been included
in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
 
NOTE 3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
   
COMPANY-SPONSORED LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS     
 
  As general partner for various limited partnerships, the Company may be
subject to liabilities of the partnerships if the partnerships' assets should
become insufficient to meet their obligations. In the opinion of management,
the future revenues and the value of the underlying assets of each of these
partnerships will be sufficient to meet partnership obligations.
 
  As general partner, the Company has a fiduciary responsibility to oversee
the management of company-sponsored limited partnerships. The assets and
liabilities of such partnerships are included in the individual partnership
financial statements and not on the accounts of the Company.
   
LAWSUITS     
 
  AGS Financial Corporation has been named as a defendant in a "consolidated"
complaint that supersedes separate class action complaints that were filed
during the 1993 calendar year. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages for
economic injury suffered by them for their investment in Prudential-Bache/A.G.
Spanos Realty Partners L.P., I ("Spanos Realty") and Prudential-Bache/A.G.
Spanos Genesis Income Partners L.P., I ("Spanos Genesis"). Among other things,
the plaintiffs allege that the Company earned excess fees for the syndication
of the entities.
 
  During the year ended August 31,1994, the Company was named as a defendant
in two separate lawsuits. Both lawsuits contend that they were induced to
purchase units in limited partnerships by fraudulent misrepresentations. One
lawsuit settled with no liability to the Company during the year.
   
  During the year ended August 31, 1995, the Company was named as a defendant
in a lawsuit. The lawsuit contended that the plaintiff purchased units in
limited partnerships because of misrepresentations by the Company. On May 12,
1997, the Company and certain of its affiliates entered into a Stipulation of

consolidated actions. The settlement contemplates, among other things, the
sale of all of the properties of Spanos Realty and Spanos Genesis at public

the proposed auction sale and other terms of the settlement will be sent to
the Unitholders of Spanos Realty and Spanos Genesis with proxy solicitation

agreement contains numerous conditions and must be finally approved by the
Court at a fairness hearing at which the Unitholders and other interested

  The Company believes it has meritorious defenses in all pending cases and
that adverse decisions in any or all of these cases would be covered by
indemnification agreements from co-defendants, or by insurance, and would not
have a material effect on the financial condition of the Company. It is
impossible at this point to evaluate the likely outcome and estimate any
amount or range of potential losses. Accordingly, the Company has not accrued
a contingent loss on the financial statements.

NOTE 4. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
  During the months of September, October and November, 1997, the real
property of the several partnership investments (other than Spanos Realty and
Spanos Genesis) were sold. These sales generated gains for the Company.
Payments of the receivables due from these partnerships are expected to be
made to the Company.
 
NOTE 5. EXCHANGE OBLIGATION
 
  On October 31, 1996, a partnership affiliated with the Company deeded
property in anticipation of a deferred tax free exchange. The Company sold the
property on October 31, 1996. The Company entered into an agreement to build a
replacement property for the affiliated partnership and deeded the property to
the affiliated partnership on April 29, 1997, subject to a construction loan
which had a balance at August 31, 1997 of $8,173,053.
 
  At August 31, 1997, the Company had cash in the amount of $159,746 and
accounts receivable of $3,518,395 from the October 31, 1996 sale and exchange
and had an account payable to an affiliated corporation in the amount of
$3,678,141. These amounts are reflected on the accompanying balance sheet.

is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on this financial statement based on our audit.
 
  We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the balance sheet is free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the balance sheet. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall balance sheet
presentation. We believe that our audit of the balance sheet provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
  In our opinion, the balance sheet referred to above presents fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of A.G. SPANOS REALTY, INC. as of
September 30, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                            NOTES TO BALANCE SHEET
 
NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
   
NATURE OF BUSINESS     
 
  A.G. Spanos Realty, Inc. (the "Company") was organized on July 24, 1978, but
was inactive until December 1, 1986 when the Company issued 20 shares of
common stock with a stated value in the amount of $2,000,000. The stock was
purchased by Mr. Alex G. Spanos with a $1,900,000 unsecured non-interest
bearing note due on demand and cash in the amount of $100,000.
 
  The Company's sole purpose was to invest as a general partner in A.G. Spanos
Residential Partners-86, A California Limited Partnership (the "Partnership").
The Partnership's sole purpose is that of becoming a general partner in
Prudential-Bache/A.G. Spanos Genesis Income Partners L.P., I, a Delaware
limited partnership ("Genesis Income Partners L.P., I").
 
  The books of the Company are kept on the accrual basis of accounting and the
Company's fiscal year ends September 30.
   
INVESTMENT IN PARTNERSHIP     
 
  The Company reflects its investment in the Partnership using the equity
method of accounting, whereby the Company's cash investment is reduced by
Partnership distributions to the company and by the Company's proportionate
share of the net loss of the Partnership. Since distributions and allocated
losses exceed the Company's investment, the balance has been classified as a
liability.
   
USE OF ESTIMATES     
 
  The preparation of the balance sheet in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reporting amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
 
NOTE 2. NOTE RECEIVABLE FROM SHAREHOLDER
 
  The Note receivable from Mr. Alex G. Spanos is an unsecured non-interest
bearing note and is due on demand. The Note receivable arose from the issuance
of common stock to Mr. Alex G. Spanos.
 
NOTE 3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
   
LAWSUITS     
 
  The Company has been named as a defendant in a "consolidated" complaint that
supersedes separate class action complaints that were filed during the 1993
calendar year. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages for economic injury
suffered by them for their investment in Genesis Income Partners L.P., I.
Among other things, the plaintiffs alleged that the Company earned excess fees
for the syndication of the entity.
 
  During the year ended September 30, 1994, the Company was named as a
defendant in two separate lawsuits. Both lawsuits contend that investors were
induced to purchase units in limited partnerships by fraudulent
misrepresentations. One lawsuit settled with no liability to the Company
during the year.
 
  During the year ended September 30, 1995, the Company was named as a
defendant in a lawsuit. The lawsuit contended that the plaintiff purchased
units in limited partnerships because of misrepresentations by the

NOTE 3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (CONT.)
   
Company. On May 12, 1997, the Company and certain of its affiliates entered
into a Stipulation of Settlement with legal counsel representing the plaintiff
class in the consolidated actions. The settlement contemplates, among other
things, the sale of all of the properties of Genesis Income Partners L.P., I
at public auction and the subsequent liquidation and dissolution of Genesis
Income Partners L.P., I. The settlement agreement was preliminarily approved
by the Court on May 19, 1997. Pursuant to the settlement, detailed information
about the proposed auction sale and other terms of the settlement will be sent
to the Unitholders of Genesis Income Partners L.P., I with proxy solicitation
materials seeking the Unitholders' consent to the auction sale. The settlement
agreement contains numerous conditions and must be finally approved by the
Court at a fairness hearing at which the Unitholders and other interested
parties will have an opportunity to be heard. There can be no assurance that
the conditions to implementation of the settlement will be satisfied.     
 
  The Company believes it has meritorious defenses in all pending cases and
that adverse decisions in any or all of these cases would be covered by
indemnification agreements from co-defendants, or by insurance, and would not
have a material effect on the financial condition of the Company. It is
impossible at this point to evaluate the likely outcome and estimate any
amount or range of potential losses. Accordingly, the Company has not accrued
a contingent loss on the balance sheet.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS
 
  The Registrant, Prudential-Bache/A.G. Spanos Genesis Income Partners L.P., I
(the "Partnership"), is a limited partnership formed on January 14, 1987 under
Delaware law. The business of the Partnership is managed and controlled by its
general partners (the "General Partners"), A.G. Spanos Residential Partners-
86, a California Limited Partnership (the "Spanos General Partner") and
Prudential-Bache Properties, Inc. (the "Bache General Partner"). The primary
purpose of the Partnership is to acquire from affiliates of the Spanos General
Partner, invest in, hold, manage, sell, dispose of, and otherwise act with
respect to properties on which multi-family residential developments have been
constructed. The Partnership originally invested in eight apartment properties
("Apartment Projects") and five land parcels, upon which apartment properties
had been constructed, which were leased back to the seller ("Land/Leases").
The Apartment Projects and Land/Leases are collectively referred to as the
"Properties." Through 1997, the Partnership had sold one Apartment Project and
three Land/Leases. The remaining Properties are located in six metropolitan
areas: Atlanta (two Properties), Louisville (one Property), Dallas/Fort Worth
(two Properties), Kansas City (two Properties), Albuquerque (one Property) and
San Diego (one Property). The Partnership will continue until December 31,
2021, unless terminated earlier under the provisions of its Amended and
Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement").
 
  On May 12, 1997, the Spanos General Partner and certain of its affiliates
entered into a Stipulation of Settlement with legal counsel representing the
plaintiff class in the litigation described in Note F to the financial
statements in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. The
settlement contemplates, among other things, the sale of all of the
Partnership Properties at public auction and the subsequent liquidation and
dissolution of the Partnership. The Spanos General Partner intends to file a
preliminary proxy statement seeking the Limited Partners' consent to the
auction sale with the Securities and Exchange Commission in early April, 1998.
The settlement agreement contains numerous conditions and must be finally
approved by the Court at a fairness hearing at which Limited Partners and
other interested parties will have an opportunity to be heard. There can be no
assurance that the conditions to implementation of the settlement will be
satisfied.
 
  Occupancy information is set forth in Item 2. The Properties are subject to
competition from other apartment properties located in close proximity,
including properties owned by affiliates of the Spanos General Partner. The
Properties compete for a variety of tenant groups, including young
professionals, retail, service and trade employees, students and retirees.
Competition for tenants is principally on the basis of location, physical
condition, amenities, and rental rates. The location and condition of the
Properties is considered to be good to above-average. The Properties feature
amenities fairly typical for properties built in the 1980's, including
swimming pools, tennis courts, fitness facilities, microwave ovens and guarded
entrances, and are generally able to compete adequately with similar projects
in their respective markets.
 
  Many areas, including Albuquerque, Kansas City, Dallas/Fort Worth and
Atlanta have seen construction of new apartment properties increase since
1992. This has led to the emergence of market segmentation between 1980's
vintage properties (such as the Partnership's) and the newer generation of
apartment properties completed recently. The newer properties have a
competitive advantage not only because they are new, but because many are
designed with larger unit sizes, have floor plans and finishes similar to
those found in single family homes, and feature more extensive amenities than
do the properties built in the 1980's. To date, these newer properties
generally command higher rents and have competed with each other for tenants
able to pay premium rents, leaving the 1980's vintage properties to compete
with each other for the next tier of apartment renters. There is a risk,
however, that if overbuilding in the upper segment of the market results in
lower rents, the new properties with more extensive amenities could be highly
competitive with the 1980's vintage apartment product. To date, only Del Rio
(a Land/Lease property located in Albuquerque) has been adversely affected by
the level of new competition. Revenue there declined 7.4% from 1995 to 1996
and 7.5% from 1996 to 1997.
 
 
                                      B-3
<PAGE>
 
  Within the greater housing market, the apartment sector competes with
single-family homes. Thus, apartment demand can be affected by the
affordability of owner-occupied housing, which can increase and decrease with
changes in mortgage interest rates.
 
  The Partnership does not segregate revenues or assets by geographic regions.
Two Apartment Projects accounted for 15% or more of annual Apartment Project
rental revenue in each of the prior three years: Chelsea Park (17% to 19%) and
Cypress Pointe (18% to 19%). No single tenant accounted for 10% or more of the
revenue for any of the three years ended December 31, 1997. The Partnership is
engaged solely in the business of real estate investment; therefore,
presentation of industry segment information is not applicable. The General
Partners believe the Properties are adequately insured. For more information
regarding the Properties, see Item 2, Properties. For more information
regarding the Partnership's operations, see Item 7, Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
  The Partnership has no employees. The officers and employees of the General
Partners and their affiliates perform services for the Partnership pursuant to
the Partnership Agreement.

The Partnership owned nine Properties described below at March 1, 1998:

(1) The Partnership has a 100% fee simple ownership interest in each Property
    subject to a first mortgage lien in favor of the indicated holder. Each
    mortgage is secured only by the Property to which it relates and is
    without recourse to either of the General Partners or the Partnership.
    (See Note C and Schedule III to the Financial Statements.)
(2) The Partnership has a 100% fee simple interest in the land with respect to
    the Land/Leases. The lessees, who are affiliates of the Spanos General
    Partner, own the apartment complexes constructed thereon which are
    encumbered by first mortgage liens in favor of the indicated holder. Each
    lienholder has recourse only to the apartment complex owned by the lessee
    and the land owned by the Partnership to which the lien relates, and each
    such lien is without recourse to either of the General Partners or the
    Partnership. (See Note E and Schedule III to the Financial Statements.)
(3) Loan may be prepaid upon payment of a 2% prepayment charge. The lender may
    waive the prepayment charge for principal prepayments during the calendar
    year which do not exceed 20% of the original loan balance and for
    prepayments made within 90 days of a notice of installment adjustment. The
    lender will also waive the prepayment charge so long as A.G. Spanos
    Construction, Inc. or any entity owned and controlled by A.G. Spanos
    Construction or by Alex G. Spanos remains liable on the loan.
(4) Loan may be prepaid without charge at any time unless the Partnership has
    elected for interest to be computed based on a LIBOR fixing, in which case
    prepayment must be accompanied by a yield maintenance prepayment charge.
(5) Loan may be prepaid upon payment of prepayment charges of 2% and 1%,
    respectively, for prepayments occurring prior to June 1, 1998 and March 1,
    1999.
(6) Average annual revenue per apartment unit is determined by dividing total
    operating revenues for the Property by the number of apartment units.
(7) Ground lease requires payments of $350,000 per year through October 1992,
    and $420,000 per year thereafter.
(8) Ground lease requires payments of $200,000 per year through December 1992,
    and $240,000 per year thereafter.
(9) The ground leases are triple-net, with the tenant responsible for payment
    of all property taxes. Property taxes and tax rate for 1997 for Cameron
    Creek were $405,489 and 3.266%, respectively, and for Del Rio, $101,783
    and 1.219%, respectively.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR PARTNERSHIP'S DEPOSITORY UNITS OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
        INTEREST AND RELATED SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS
 
  The Partnership had four limited partners as of March 5, 1998: Residential
Portfolio Depository Corp. (the "Assignor Limited Partner"), a wholly owned
subsidiary of AGS Financial Corporation, and three affiliates of the Spanos
General Partner which are holders of Special Limited Partnership Interests
("Special Interests"). The Assignor Limited Partner has transferred and
assigned to the Unitholders all of the Assignor Limited Partner's rights and
interest in and to the assigned Limited Partnership Interests, except for
record ownership and the right to vote directly on matters submitted to the
Limited Partners and Unitholders for a vote. There were 3,152 Unitholders as
of March 5, 1998.
 
  A significant secondary market for the Units has not developed, and it is
not expected that one will develop in the future. There are also certain
restrictions set forth in the Partnership Agreement limiting the ability of a
Unitholder to transfer Units. Consequently, Unitholders may not be able to
liquidate their investments in the event of an emergency or any other reason.
 
  Distributions of cash from operations were paid to Unitholders approximately
45 days after the end of the specified quarter. Distributions per Unit in 1996
and 1997 were as follows:

</TABLE>
 
  Approximately $1,334,000 and $1,374,000 of the distributions paid to
Unitholders for 1997 and 1996, respectively, represent a return of capital on
a generally accepted accounting principle ("GAAP") basis. The return of
capital on a GAAP basis is calculated as Unitholder distributions less net
income, if any, allocated to Unitholders.
 
  There are no material legal restrictions on the Partnership's present or
future ability to make distributions in accordance with the provisions of the
Partnership Agreement. Future distributions will be dependent upon the
performance of the Partnership. See Item 7, Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, for a discussion of
the factors affecting future Distributions.

(a) The above selected financial data should be read in conjunction with the
    financial statements and the related notes (see Item 8).
(b) The cash distributions did not result in taxable income to the
    Unitholders. Each Unitholder's taxable income or loss from the Partnership
    is equal to his allocable share of the taxable income or loss of the
    Partnership, without regard to the cash generated or distributed by the
    Partnership.
 
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
 Capital Resources and Liquidity
 
  The Partnership had cash of $5,323,000 at December 31, 1997. There are no
proposed programs for renovation, improvement or development of the Properties
other than maintenance and repairs (including major repairs) in the ordinary
course which will be paid from operations, and the Partnership's liquidity
position is considered satisfactory.
 
  On May 12, 1997, the Spanos General Partner and certain of its affiliates
entered into a Stipulation of Settlement with legal counsel representing the
plaintiff class in the consolidated actions. The settlement contemplates,
among other things, the sale of all of the Partnership Properties at public
auction and the subsequent liquidation and dissolution of the Partnership. The
Spanos General Partner intends to file a preliminary proxy statement seeking
the Limited Partners' consent to the auction sale with the Securities and
Exchange Commission in early April, 1998. The settlement agreement contains
numerous conditions and must be finally approved by the Court at a fairness
hearing at which Limited Partners and other interested parties will have an
opportunity to be heard. There can be no assurance that the conditions to
implementation of the settlement will be satisfied.
 
  The Partnership's operating activities provided cash of $2,945,000 in 1997,
of which $176,000 reflects timing differences related to current assets and
liabilities. Of the balance, $970,000 was applied to scheduled principal
amortization on the Partnership's mortgage debt, $1,649,000 was paid in cash
distributions, and $502,000 was retained. Reported cash provided by operating
activities declined $419,000 in 1997 compared to 1996, however the decrease
related primarily to changes in timing differences between the two years. Cash
provided by operating activities increased $892,000 in 1996 compared to 1995,
principally because of improved operations of the Apartment Projects as
described below and an increase in reported Land/Lease rentals which arose
because certain rentals are no longer accounted for as a recovery of recorded
carrying amount as described in Note B to the financial statements. (Reported
cash flows from investing activities declined $372,000 from 1995
 
                                      B-7
<PAGE>
 
to 1996 for the same reason.) Cash flows from 1996 financing activities
includes the payment of the $8,943,000 balance of the matured Mission Trails
mortgage with the proceeds from a new $9,000,000 mortgage from another lender.
 
  The Partnership's long term debt, which consists of seven real estate
mortgages with respect to the remaining Apartment Projects, was $57,927,000 at
December 31, 1997. This debt requires monthly installments of principal and
interest of $486,000. The Apartment Projects are currently generating
aggregate revenue to cover operating expenses and debt service. Five of the
mortgage loans require balloon payments: Casa de Fuentes, Comanche Place and
Cypress Pointe in 1999; Mission Trails in 2000; and MacArthur Park in 2001.
The General Partners anticipate that the Properties securing the balloon
payment mortgages will be sold or refinanced before the balloon payment due
dates. If the Properties are not sold or refinanced beforehand, the
Partnership would be required to refinance them when the balloon payments
become due subject to then existing conditions in the real estate and mortgage
financing markets or to sell the properties under terms which may not be the
most favorable to the Partnership. If the Partnership were unable to complete
sales or refinancings, then the lenders could institute foreclosure
proceedings against the Properties.
 
 Results of Operations
 
  1997 Compared to 1996. Rental revenue was $15,658,000 in 1997, an increase
of 2.3% compared to 1996. Revenue increased at five Apartment Projects (Le
Parc, Casa de Fuentes, MacArthur Park, Comanche Place and Mission Trails)
principally as a result of increased effective rental rates. Revenue was down
2.4% at Chelsea Park, principally because of lower occupancy. Revenue at
Cypress Pointe was generally unchanged from 1996. Overall, the average
occupancy of the Apartment Projects was 94.5% in 1997 compared to 94.7% in
1996.
 
  Property operating expenses were $6,097,000 in 1997 compared to $5,707,000
for 1996. Major repairs (i.e., exterior painting, asphalt work and other
expensive repairs that do not recur on an annual basis) increased to $718,000
in 1997 compared to $596,000 for 1996. Furnished unit expense was down $38,000
compared to 1996, reflecting fewer furnished unit rentals in 1997. Operating
expenses excluding major repairs and furnished unit expense increased $305,000
or approximately 6.3% over 1996. Expense categories showing the greatest
increases were maintenance, up $131,000 or 8.6%, reflecting the generally
higher costs of operating an aging property portfolio; on-site salaries, up
$114,000 or 8.5%, reflecting higher personnel costs; and utilities, up $82,000
or 7.4%. Property management fees, which are 3% of property revenue, increased
with the increase in revenue. Interest expense declined $93,000, primarily
because of lower outstanding principal on the mortgage loans. Interest income
increased because average cash balances and money market interest rates were
higher in 1997.
 
  1996 Compared to 1995. Rental revenue was $15,308,000 in 1996, an increase
of 4.9% compared to 1995. Revenue increased at all seven Apartment Projects,
principally as a result of increased effective rental rates. Same Property
average occupancy was 94.7% in 1996 compared to 93.8% in 1995.
 
  Property operating expenses declined slightly from 1995 to 1996 as small
decreases in maintenance expenses offset smaller increases in other operating
expenses. Property taxes also declined slightly from 1995 because an appeal of
the Le Parc taxes resulted in a $63,000 reduction which more than offset tax
increases at the other properties. Interest expense was higher in 1996 because
the interest rates on the Casa de Fuentes, Comanche Place and Mission Trails
mortgages increased. Depreciation expense declined $103,000 because certain
personal property assets were fully depreciated in 1995. Interest income
increased because average cash balances and money market interest rates were
higher in 1996.
 
 Year 2000.
 
  The General Partners do not expect that any costs related to year 2000
compliance will be material to the financial statements of the Partnership.

                         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
General and Limited Partners
Prudential-Bache/A.G. Spanos
Genesis Income Partners, L.P., I:
 
  We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Prudential-Bache/A.G.
Spanos Genesis Income Partners L.P., I (a limited partnership) (the
"Partnership") as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related statements of
operations, changes in partners' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997. Our audits also
included the financial statement schedule of the Partnership listed at Item
14(a)(2). These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the
responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement
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, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Prudential-Bache/A.G. Spanos Genesis
Income Partners L.P., I as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of
its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1997 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Also, in our opinion, such 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.

NOTE A--ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 Organization
 
  Prudential-Bache/A.G. Spanos Genesis Income Partners L.P., I (the
"Partnership") is a Delaware limited partnership organized for the purpose of
acquiring and operating thirteen specified apartment properties (the
"Properties") consisting of eight apartment projects (the "Apartment Projects")
and five land parcels, upon which apartment complexes have been constructed, to
be leased back to the sellers for up to 25 years (the "Land/Leases"). Through
December 31, 1997, the Partnership had sold three of the Land/Leases and one of
the Apartment Projects. The General Partners of the Partnership are Prudential-
Bache Properties, Inc. (the "Bache General Partner") and A.G. Spanos
Residential Partners-86, A California Limited Partnership (the "Spanos General
Partner"). The Partnership will continue until December 31, 2021, unless
previously terminated in accordance with the provisions of its Amended and
Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement").
 
  The Partnership sold 64,660 depository units of limited partnership interest
("Units") between February 1987 and August 1988 for aggregate capital
contributions (net of certain volume selling commission discounts) of
$64,641,610. The Partnership has also issued non-voting Special Limited
Partnership Interests ("Special Interests") to affiliates of the Spanos General
Partner in consideration for capital contributions, payments under a cash flow
guaranty, and certain refinancing costs paid on behalf of the Partnership by
such affiliates.
 
 Financial Statement Preparation
 
  The Partnership has a fiscal year ending December 31. The books and records
of the Partnership are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Certain
reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts in order to be in
conformity with the current year presentation.
 
 Accounting Estimates
 
  In preparing the financial statements, management makes estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities (see Note F) at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses from the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
 Cash Equivalents
 
  Cash equivalents consist of money market funds containing money market
instruments with an original maturity date of 90 days or less whose cost
approximates market value.
 
 Property
 
  Property, which includes land, buildings and equipment, is carried at the
lower of depreciated cost or estimated fair value. Depreciated cost was reduced
by certain payments received under the cash flow guaranty (see Note D).
Depreciation on buildings and equipment is recorded on a straight-line basis
over their estimated useful lives, which range from 7 to 27.5 years.

 Other Assets
 
  Other assets include prepaid expenses and tenant receivables.
 
 Income Taxes
 
  No provision has been made for federal or state income taxes (or credits)
since such items are the responsibility of the partners. A reconciliation of
the net income (loss) in the financial statements to the net taxable income
(loss) is set forth below:

  The book and tax bases of partners' equity differ by the cumulative effect
of the book to tax income adjustments.
 
 Allocations and Distributions
 
  Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, operating income, losses and cash
distributions are generally allocated 98% to the Unitholders and 2% to the
General Partners. Taxable income and losses are allocated in the same manner.
Cash distributions resulting from sales or refinancings of the Properties are
generally allocable as follows: First, 98% to the limited partners and 2% to
the General Partners until (I) the aggregate of all such distributions equals
the limited partners' aggregate capital contributions and (ii) the aggregate
of all other cash distributions (including operating cash distributions, but
excluding distributions in repayment of capital contributions) equals the
limited partners' 10% per annum cumulative noncompounded return on their
adjusted capital contributions (the "First Level Sale or Refinance
Distributions"). Thereafter, cash distributions resulting from a sale or
refinancing are generally allocable 85% to the Unitholders and 15% to the
General Partners (the "Second Level Sale or Refinance Distributions").
 
  The Special Interests entitle the holders to receive First Level Sale or
Refinance Distributions (and corresponding allocations of income on sales),
but no allocations of operating income, losses or cash distributions and no
allocations of Second Level Sale or Refinance Distributions.
 
  Cash distributions to the partners are recorded in the periods to which they
relate for financial reporting purposes. The Partnership paid fourth quarter
cash distributions of $412,373 in February 1998 and 1997. These distributions
were accrued at December 31, 1997 and 1996.
 
 Revenue Recognition
 
  Rental income is accrued as rents are due.

 Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair
Value of Financial instruments," requires the determination of fair value for
certain of the Partnership's assets and liabilities. The following methods and
assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of those financial
instruments included in the following categories:
 
  Cash and Cash Equivalents--The carrying amount approximates fair value based
on the liquidity of the assets.
 
  Mortgage Loans Payable (see Note C)--The carrying value approximates fair
value based on interest rates available to the Partnership on debt instruments
with similar terms.
 
NOTE B--PROPERTY
 
  Property is comprised of the following at December 31, 1997 and 1996:

  The Partnership leases apartments under lease agreements with terms ranging
from one to twelve months. The ground leases for the Land/Leases are described
in Note E.
 
  The Partnership recorded provisions for loss on impairment of assets in 1992
and 1991 to reduce the carrying amount of the three Land/Leases located in the
Dallas-Fort Worth Metropolitan area to an amount estimated to be recoverable
through cash flows from their future operation and proceeds from disposition
on an undiscounted basis. Additionally, in 1993, 1994 and 1995, the
Partnership accounted for the rentals from those Land/Leases (of which
$1,620,851 relates to the one Dallas-Fort Worth Land/Lease unsold at December
31, 1997) as a reduction of their recorded carrying amounts rather than as
revenue. Based on current market conditions, further reductions in the
carrying value of the Land/Lease were not required in 1996 or 1997, and the
Partnership is currently recording rental receipts as revenue.

$4,763,747 respectively.
 
  In March 1996, the Partnership refinanced the Mission Trails mortgage loan
with the proceeds of a new $9,000,000 first mortgage loan. The new loan bears
interest at 0.5% above the lender's prime interest rate or, at the option of
the Partnership, a rate 2.5% above the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR)
based upon 3, 6, 9, or 12 month. The loan requires monthly payments of
interest plus fixed monthly principal reductions ranging from $10,313 to
$12,978. The Partnership paid the lender loan fees and other costs totaling
$60,480.
 
  In November 1997, the Partnership and the lender entered into an agreement
to extend the maturity date of the Casa de Fuentes and Comanche Place mortgage
loans through November 1, 1999. Pursuant to the extension agreement, the loans
bear interest at the lender's prime interest rate or, at the option of the
Partnership, a rate 2.5% above the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) based
upon 3, 6, 9, or 12 month fixings. The loans require monthly payments of
interest plus fixed principal reductions of $8,500 per month for Casa de
Fuentes and $9,250 for Comanche Place.

NOTE D--RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
  The Partnership acquired the Properties from affiliates of the Spanos
General Partner (the "Sellers"). Under the terms of the acquisitions, the
Sellers guaranteed that if the Apartment Projects as a group did not meet
certain annual net cash flow levels between their acquisition dates and
December 31, 1990, then the Sellers would make up any deficiency by periodic
cash payments ("Support Payments") to the Partnership. The first $7,623,000 of
Support Payments were non-refundable, and the Partnership accounted for them
as a reduction of the purchase price of the Apartment Projects. The
Partnership issued Special Interests in exchange for Support Payments in
excess of that amount; however, the Special Interests were cancelable by the
Partnership to the extent that the aggregate net cash flow from any of the
Apartment Projects (treated individually and not collectively) was negative
during the guaranty period. The cancellations were also accounted for as a
reduction of the purchase price of the Apartment Projects.
 
  Support Payments of $10,978,307 accrued to the Partnership based upon the
operating results of the Apartment Projects from inception of the Partnership
through the conclusion of the guaranty on December 31, 1990. The Partnership
issued 3,355 Special Interests to a Seller in exchange for $3,355,307 of
Support Payments in excess of the $7,623,000 non-refundable amount. Two
properties had aggregate negative net cash flow totaling $1,158,870;
accordingly, the Partnership canceled 1,159 Special Interests.
 
  Affiliates of the Spanos General Partner are the lessees under the
Land/Leases. Rentals accrued under the leases from such affiliates were
$660,000 in 1997 and 1996 and $612,498 in 1995. Rentals of $163,476 were
receivable at December 31, 1997. The apartment complexes owned by the lessees
and the land owned by the Partnership on which the apartment complexes are
constructed have been pledged as collateral for the borrowings used to finance
the development of the Properties. At December 31, 1997, the Del Rio complex
was encumbered by $7,233,045 of outstanding mortgage debt bearing interest at
the rate of 6.495% per annum, requiring monthly payments of principal and
interest of $46,260, and maturing November 1, 2000; and the Cameron Creek
complex was encumbered by $12,815,341 of outstanding mortgage debt bearing
interest at the rate of 7.245% per annum, requiring monthly payments of
principal and interest of $108,257, and maturing April 1, 2016.
 
  An affiliate of the Spanos General Partner manages the Apartment Projects.
Property management fees totaled $469,310, $457,754 and $438,068,
respectively, in 1997, 1996 and 1995. Under the management agreements, the
affiliate employs property managers and other on-site personnel, and the
Partnership bears the expense for their compensation (including employment
taxes and fringe benefits). That expense was approximately $1,460,000,
$1,346,000 and $1,324,000, respectively in 1997, 1996 and 1995. Accruals of
$42,212 and $37,132 for property management fees and $115,264 and $118,148 for
salary expense reimbursements were outstanding at December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.

  Under the Partnership Agreement, the Spanos General Partner is entitled to a
supervisory management fee and the Bache General Partner is entitled to a
special distribution. The fee and distribution are each equal to two percent
of the revenues from the Apartment Projects. The special distribution is
reduced to the extent of reimbursements to the Bache General Partner for
certain expenses incurred in the administration of the Partnership. Amounts
accrued during the past three years were as follows.

  Accruals of $161,414 and $152,782 for management fees payable to the General
Partners were outstanding at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
 
  Under the Partnership Agreement, the General Partners may be entitled to
subordinated real estate commissions if the Partnership is able to provide the
limited partners with (i) aggregate distributions of sales and refinancing
proceeds equal to the limited partners' aggregate capital contributions and
(ii) aggregate distributions from all other sources except distributions in
repayment of capital contributions equal to the limited partners' 6% per annum
cumulative noncompounded return on their adjusted capital contributions. The
subordinated real estate commissions would be the lesser of 3% of the sales
price of the Properties or one-half of the normal and competitive rate
customarily charged by unaffiliated parties. It is highly unlikely that the
Partnership will achieve the distribution threshold; accordingly, no provision
for subordinated real estate commissions has been made in the financial
statements.
 
  The General Partners' capital account deficit for financial accounting
purposes exceeds the amount the General Partners would be obligated to restore
if the Partnership were to dissolve.
 
  Prudential Securities Incorporated ("PSI"), an affiliate of the Bache
General Partner, owned 1,920 Units at December 31, 1997.
 
NOTE E--LAND/LEASES
 
  The Land/Leases are leased to affiliates of the Spanos General Partner (see
Notes B and D). Under the leases either the Partnership, as owner of the land,
or the lessees, as the owners of the buildings, have the power to sell the
entire project to any third party purchaser. As a result, the Partnership may
be required to dispose of the Land/Leases at a time and on terms which it
might not otherwise have approved. The leases provide that upon the sale of
the project, the proceeds, if any, remaining after payment of the related
mortgage indebtedness will be allocated first to the Partnership to the extent
of its purchase price for the land, then to the lessee to the extent of its
specified "tenant's equity," and then 42.5% to the Partnership and 57.5% to
the lessee.

purportedly on behalf of investors in the Partnership against the Partnership,
the Bache General Partner, PSI and a number of other defendants. On or about
November 9, 1993, a putative class action entitled Bottner v. A.G. Spanos
Residential Partners-86 et al. (93 Civ. 7708) was filed in the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York, purportedly on behalf of
investors in the Partnership against the General Partners, PSI, Prudential
Insurance Company of America and certain of their affiliates and officers. On
or about February 13, 1995, an individual action captioned Estate of Jean
Adams v. Prudential Securities, Inc. et al. (Case No. 1995 CV 00265) was filed
in the Court of Common Pleas in Stark County, Ohio against PSI, The
Prudential, the General Partners, the Partnership and affiliates of the Spanos
General Partner. The action was removed to the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Ohio (Eastern Division) on March 15, 1995.
Plaintiff alleged misrepresentations, breach of fiduciary duties and civil
conspiracy by defendants in connection with the sale of units of the
Partnership. Plaintiff sought unspecified damages, including punitive damages.
 
  By order of the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation dated April 14,
1994, the Kinnes and Bottner cases, by order dated June 8, 1994, the Connelly
case, and by order dated April 7, 1995, the Adams case, were transferred to a
single judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of
New York and consolidated for pretrial proceedings under the caption In re
Prudential Securities Incorporated Limited Partnerships Litigation (MDL Docket
1005). On June 8, 1994, plaintiffs in the transferred cases filed a complaint
that consolidated the previously filed complaints and named as defendants,
among others, PSI, certain of its present and former employees and the General
Partners. The Partnership is not named a defendant in the consolidated
complaint, but the name of the Partnership is listed as being among the
limited partnerships at issue in the case. The consolidated complaint alleges
violations of the federal and New Jersey Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt
Organizations Act ("RICO") statutes, fraud, negligent misrepresentation,
breach of fiduciary duties, breach of third- party beneficiary contracts and
breach of implied covenants in connection with the marketing and sales of
limited partnership interests. Plaintiffs request relief in the nature of
rescission of the purchase of securities and recovery of all consideration and
expenses in connection therewith, as well as compensation for lost use of
money invested less cash distributions; compensatory damages; consequential
damages; treble damages for defendants' RICO violations (both federal and New
Jersey); general damages for all injuries resulting from negligence, fraud,
breaches of contract, and breaches of duty in an amount to be determined at
trial; disgorgement and restitution of all earnings, profits, benefits, and
compensation received by defendants as a result of their unlawful acts; and
costs and disbursements of the action. On November 28, 1994 the transferee
court deemed each of the complaints in the constituent actions (including
Kinnes and Bottner) amended to conform to the allegations of the consolidated
complaint. On August 9, 1995 the Bache General Partner, PSI and other
Prudential defendants entered into a Stipulation and Agreement of Partial
Compromise and Settlement with legal counsel representing plaintiffs in the
consolidated actions. On November 20, 1995, the court gave final approval to
the settlement, dismissed the Kinnes and Bottner actions, certified a class of
purchasers of specific limited partnerships, including the Partnership,
released all settled claims by members of the class against the PSI settling
defendants and permanently barred and enjoined class members from instituting,
commencing or prosecuting any settled claim against the released parties. By
orders entered August 12, 1996 and October 25, 1996, respectively, the Adams
and Connelly cases were dismissed as to the Bache General Partner, PSI and the
other Prudential defendants. The full amount due under the settlement
agreement has been paid. The consolidated action as well as the Adams and
Connelly cases remain pending against nonsettling defendants, including the
Spanos General Partner and certain of its affiliates. The Partnership is not
named a defendant in the consolidated complaint and the action is not expected
to have a material effect on the Partnership's financial statements;
accordingly, no provision for any loss that may result upon resolution of this
matter has been made in the accompanying financial statements.

  On May 12, 1997, the Spanos General Partner and certain of its affiliates
entered into a Stipulation of Settlement with legal counsel representing the
plaintiff class in the consolidated actions. The settlement contemplated,
among other things, the sale of all of the Partnership Properties at public
auction and the subsequent liquidation and dissolution of the Partnership. The
settlement agreement was preliminarily approved by the Court on August 28,
1997. Pursuant to the settlement, detailed information about the proposed
auction sale and other terms of the settlement will be sent to the Limited
Partners with proxy solicitation materials seeking the Limited Partners'
consent to the auction sale. The settlement agreement contains numerous
conditions and must be finally approved by the Court at a fairness hearing at
which Limited Partners and other interested parties will have an opportunity
to be heard. There can be no assurance that the conditions to implementation
of the settlement will be satisfied.
 
  On or about April 15, 1994, a multiparty petition entitled Schreiber et al.
v. Prudential Securities, Inc., et al. (Cause No. 94-17696) was filed in the

of investors in the Partnership against the Partnership, the General Partners,
PSI, The Prudential Insurance Company of America and a number of other
defendants. The Petition alleges common law fraud, fraud in the inducement and
negligent misrepresentation in connection with the offering of limited
partnership interests and negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, civil
conspiracy, and violations of the federal Securities Act of 1933 (sections 11
and 12) and of the Texas Securities and Deceptive Trade Practices statutes.
The suit seeks, among other things, compensatory and punitive damages, costs
and attorney's fees. Most of the plaintiffs have released their claims against
the defendants in exchange for monetary payments by PSI. It is expected that
the remaining claims will be resolved by PSI at no cost to the Partnership.
Accordingly, no provision for any loss that may result upon resolution of this
matter has been made in the accompanying financial statements.

ITEM 10. DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT
 
  The Partnership does not have directors or executive officers. The
Partnership is managed by the General Partners, which have formed, and may
continue to form, other real estate investment entities with investment
policies similar to those of the Partnership and which may compete with the
Partnership for management services. The Spanos General Partner is a
California limited partnership whose general partners are AGS Financial
Corporation and A.G. Spanos Realty, Inc. AGS Financial Corporation is the
managing general partner of the Spanos General Partner. The directors and
executive officers of AGS Financial Corporation and of the Bache General
Partner who perform services for the Partnership are listed below, together
with a brief description of their experience. All have indefinite terms.
 
  AGS Financial Corporation is owned by Dean A. Spanos, Michael A. Spanos,
Barry L. Ruhl, Dea Economou and a Spanos family trust. Dean A. Spanos, Michael
A. Spanos and Dea Economou are children of Alex G. Spanos, Chairman of the
Board of AGS Financial Corporation. Barry L. Ruhl is a son-in-law of Alex G.
Spanos. There are no other family relationships among the directors and
executive officers of AGS Financial Corporation or the Bache General Partner.
 
  The General Partners and their directors and executive officers, and any
persons holding more than ten percent of the Partnership's Units are required
to report their initial ownership of such units and any subsequent changes in
that ownership to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Forms 3, 4 and 5.
Such executive officers, directors and greater than ten percent Unitholders
are required by Securities and Exchange Commission regulations to furnish the
Partnership with copies of all Forms 3, 4 and 5 they file. All of these filing
requirements were satisfied on a timely basis. In making the disclosures, the
Partnership has relied solely on written representations of the General
Partners' directors and executive officers and greater than ten percent
Unitholders or copies of the reports that they have filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission during and with respect to its most recent fiscal
year.
