                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

7


1.  Organization of Partnership:

Development   Partners   II   (A   Massachusetts   Limited   Partnership)   (the
"Partnership"),  formerly Berry and Boyle Development Partners II, was formed on
January  9,  1987.  GP  L'Auberge   Communities,   L.P.,  a  California  Limited
Partnership,  (formerly Berry and Boyle Management) and Stephen B. Boyle are the
General  Partners.  In  September,  1995,  with the consent of Limited  Partners
holding a  majority  of the  outstanding  Units,  as well as the  consent of the
mortgage  lenders  for the  Partnership's  three  properties,  Richard  G. Berry
resigned as a general partner of the  Partnership.  Except under certain limited
circumstances upon termination of the Partnership,  the General Partners are not
required to make any additional capital  contributions.  The General Partners or
their  affiliates will receive various fees for services and  reimbursement  for
various organizational and selling costs incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

On  February  13, 1987 the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  declared  the
Partnership's  public  offering  of up to 60,000  units of  Limited  Partnership
Interests at $500 per unit (the "Units") effective and the marketing and sale of
the Units commenced shortly thereafter. The initial closing of the offering took
place on June 30, 1987 at which time the holders of 5,231 Units were admitted to
the  Partnership.   The  Partnership  continued  to  admit  subscribers  monthly
thereafter until August 10, 1988 when it terminated the offering having admitted
1,918 investors  acquiring 36,963 Units totaling  $18,481,500.  There were 1,812
investors at September 30, 1999.

The Partnership will continue until December 31, 2010, unless earlier terminated
by the sale of all, or substantially  all, of the assets of the Partnership,  or
as otherwise provided in the Partnership Agreement (See Note 8.)

2.  Significant Accounting Policies:

         A.  Basis of Presentation

         The  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts of the
         Partnership  and its  subsidiaries:  The Pines on Cheyenne  Creek Joint
         Venture (Cheyenne Creek),  Mariposa Joint Venture (Mariposa) and Canyon
         View East Joint Venture (Canyon View East). All  intercompany  accounts
         and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Partnership
         accounts  for  its  investment  in  Casabella  Associates   (Casabella)
         utilizing the equity method of accounting. The Partnership's investment
         account is adjusted  to reflect  its pro rata share of profits,  losses
         and  distributions  from Casabella  Associates.  Refer to Notes 4 and 5
         regarding the  termination  of the joint ventures and sale of Mariposa,
         Cheyenne Creek and Casabella.

         The Partnership follows the accrual basis of accounting.

         B.  Cash and Cash Equivalents

         The Partnership  considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased
         with a maturity  of three  months or less to be cash  equivalents.  The
         carrying value of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value. It
         is  the  Partnership's   policy  to  invest  cash  in  income-producing
         temporary cash  investments.  The  Partnership  mitigates any potential
         risk from such concentration of credit by placing investments with high
         quality financial institutions.






2.  Significant Accounting Policies, continued

         C. Significant Risks and Uncertainties

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

         D.  Depreciation

         Depreciation  is provided  for by the use of the  straight-line  method
         over estimated useful lives as follows:

                           Buildings and improvements               39-40 years
                           Equipment, furnishings and fixtures       5-15 years

         As  discussed  further  in  Note  8,  as  of  December  31,  1997,  the
         Partnership  recorded  its  property  as  Assets  Held  for Sale on the
         consolidated  balance  sheets.  Accordingly,  the  Partnership  stopped
         depreciating these assets effective January 1, 1998.

         E.  Deferred Expenses

         Costs of obtaining the mortgages on the properties are being  amortized
         over  the  mortgage  term  using  the   straight-line   method,   which
         approximates the effective interest method.

         F.  Income Taxes

         The Partnership is not liable for Federal or state income taxes because
         Partnership  income or loss is allocated to the Partners for income tax
         purposes. If the Partnership's tax returns are examined by the Internal
         Revenue  Service  or state  taxing  authority  and such an  examination
         results in a change in Partnership  taxable income (loss),  such change
         will be reported to the Partners.

         G. Rental Income

         Leases require the payment of rent in advance,  however,  rental income
         is recorded as earned.

         H. Long-Lived Assets

         The Partnership utilizes the provisions of SFAS No. 121, Accounting for
         the  Impairment of Long -Lived Assets and for  Long-Lived  Assets to be
         Disposed Of, to review for impairment.  Recoverability  of assets to be
         held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying  amount of an
         asset to future net cash flows  expected to be  generated by the asset.
         If such assets are  considered  to be impaired,  the  impairment  to be
         recognized  is measured by the amount by which the  carrying  amount of
         the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.  As further  discussed
         in Note 8, assets to be  disposed  of are  reported at the lower of the
         carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

         In the fourth  quarter of 1997,  the  partnership  recorded a charge to
         operations of $861,066  related to impairment in its carrying  value of
         Cheyenne Creek.  This impairment  charge is based on the  Partnership's
         determination  of fair market value as of the balance  sheet date.  The
         Partnership entered into a sale agreement and is currently pursuing the
         sale of  Cheyenne  Creek.  As further  discussed  in Note 8,  effective
         December 31, 1997, the Partnership  recorded its assets at the lower of
         carrying  value  or  net  realizable   value  and  has  classified  its
         properties as Held for Sale.

              I.   New Accounting Standards

         In 1997,  the  Partnership  adopted  Statement of Financial  Accounting
         Standards  No. 128 (SFAS 128),  "Earnings  Per Share." This  accounting
         standard  specifies  new  computation,   presentation,  and  disclosure
         requirements for earnings per share to be applied retroactively.  Among
         other  things,  SFAS 128  requires  presentation  of basic and  diluted
         earnings per share on the face of the income statement. The computation
         of basic and diluted  earnings per share was based on income  available
         to the Limited Partners divided by the weighted average number of units
         outstanding  during the period.  The  Partnership  has no dilutive type
         securities.  The  adoption  of SFAS 128 had no  effects on the per unit
         results previously reported.

         In the fourth  quarter of 1997,  the  partnership  recorded a charge to
         operations of $861,066  related to impairment in its carrying  value of
         Cheyenne Creek.  This impairment  charge is based on the  Partnership's
         determination  of fair market  value as of the balance  sheet date.  As
         further discussed in Note 5, the Partnership sold Cheyenne Creek in May
         1998 and recorded a loss on sale of $80,778.

 3.  Cash and Cash Equivalents:

Cash and cash  equivalents at September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998 consisted
of the following:

                                                        1999              1998
                                                        ----              ----
                  Cash on hand                        $682,049          $602,283


4.  Joint Venture and Property Acquisitions:

The Partnership  invested in three properties  located in Scottsdale and Tucson,
Arizona and Colorado  Springs,  Colorado.  The success of the  Partnership  will
depend upon factors which are difficult to predict  including  general  economic
and real estate  market  conditions,  both on a national  basis and in the areas
where  the  Partnership's  investments  are  located.  The  Partnership  holds a
majority  interest in these  properties and controls the operations of the joint
venture.  The Mariposa joint venture was effectively  terminated on December 31,
1996. Mariposa was sold on September 30, 1997. Cheyenne Creek and Casabella were
sold in May 1998.

Cheyenne Creek

On September 26, 1988, the Partnership and a limited partnership affiliated with
the General Partners (the "Affiliated  Partnership") acquired L'Auberge Cheyenne
Creek  ("Cheyenne  Creek"),  formerly  The Pines on Cheyenne  Creek,  a 108-unit
residential  property located in Colorado Springs,  Colorado and  simultaneously
contributed the property to the Pines on Cheyenne Creek Joint Venture  comprised
of the Partnership,  the Affiliated Partnership and the property developer.  The
Partnership  owned a majority  interest in the Pines on Cheyenne  Creek 4. Joint
Venture and Property Acquisitions, continued

Joint  Venture  and,  therefore,  the accounts  and  operations  of the Pines on
Cheyenne  Creek  Joint  Venture  were  consolidated  into the  Partnership.  The
Affiliated Partnership owned an 18% interest in the Pines on Cheyenne Creek.

The co-venture partner was Highland Properties, Inc. ("Highland"), a Colorado
based residential development, construction and management firm.  Highland
developed the property known as L'Auberge Cheyenne Creek.

In  accordance  with the terms of the purchase  agreement  and the joint venture
agreement,   through   September  30,  1999,  the  Partnership  has  contributed
$4,720,041  to the Pines on Cheyenne  Creek Joint Venture which was used to: (1)
repay a portion of the  construction  loan from a third  party  lender,  (2) pay
certain  costs  related to the  refinancing  of the  permanent  loan,  (3) cover
operating  deficits  incurred  during the lease up period,  and (4) fund certain
capital improvements.  In addition,  the Partnership funded $470,870 of property
acquisition costs which were subsequently  treated as a capital  contribution to
the Pines on Cheyenne Creek Joint Venture.

Net cash from  operations (as defined in the joint venture  agreement) was to be
distributed as available to each joint venture partner quarterly as follows:

         First,   to   the   Partnership   and   the   Affiliated   Partnership,
         proportionately,  an amount  equal to 11.25% per  annum,  noncumulative
         (computed  daily  on a  simple  noncompounded  basis  from  the date of
         completion  funding) of their respective capital investment (as defined
         in the joint venture agreement);

         Second, the balance 65.25% to the Partnership, 14.75% to the Affiliated
         Partnership, and 20% to the property developer.

All losses from  operations  and  depreciation  for the Pines on Cheyenne  Creek
Joint  Venture  were  allocated  81.56%  to the  Partnership  and  18.44% to the
Affiliated  Partnership,   in  proportion  to  their  respective  joint  venture
interest.

All  profits  from  operations  to the extent of cash  distributions  were first
allocated  to the  Partnership,  the  Affiliated  Partnership,  and the property
developer  in the same  proportion  as the  cash  distributions.  Any  remaining
profits  were  allocated  65.25% to the  Partnership,  14.75% to the  Affiliated
Partnership, and 20% to the property developer.

In the case of certain capital  transactions and distributions as defined in the
joint venture  agreement,  the  allocation of related  profits,  losses and cash
distributions,  if any, would be different than as described  above and would be
affected by the relative balances in the individual partners' capital accounts.

On July 3, 1996, the Partnership and certain affiliates consummated an agreement
with Highland  Properties,  Inc.  ("Highland")  which separated the interests of
Highland and the Partnership, thus affording the Partnership greater flexibility
in the operation and disposition of the property.  In consideration of a payment
by the Partnership,  to Highland totaling $8,600, and delivery of certain mutual
releases,  Highland (i)  relinquished its option to exercise its rights of first
refusal  with regard to the sale of the  property  and (ii)  assigned all of its
interest in the Pines on Cheyenne Creek Joint Venture to the Partnership, (while
preserving  the economic  interests  of the  venturer in these Joint  Ventures).
Highland may still share in the cash flow distributions or proceeds from sale if
certain performance levels are met.

On May 28,  1998,  Cheyenne  Creek  was  sold  pursuant  to the  terms of a Sale
Agreement and Escrow  Instructions (the "Agreement")  dated January 26, 1998, as
amended. Cheyenne Creek was sold to G&I Cheyenne Creek LLC,

4.        Joint Venture and Property Acquisitions, continued

a Delaware limited liability company unaffiliated with the Partnership.  The net
selling price was $6,156,249,  subject to certain customary adjustments net of a
credit to the purchaser of $56,700 for capital  improvements.  The Joint Venture
repaid  mortgage  financing in the  approximate  amount of $3,138,795 at closing
utilizing a portion of proceeds from the sale. The  Partnership  recorded a loss
on sale of approximately $80,778.

Mariposa

On February 3, 1989, the  Partnership  acquired a joint venture  interest in the
Mariposa Joint Venture which owned and operated an 84-unit residential  property
located in Scottsdale,  Arizona known as Mariposa. Since the Partnership owned a
majority interest in the Mariposa Joint Venture,  the accounts and operations of
the Mariposa Joint Venture were consolidated into those of the Partnership.  The
Partnership  had been  designated  the  managing  joint  venture  partner of the
Mariposa Joint Venture and had control over all decisions affecting the Mariposa
Joint  Venture and the  property.  The Mariposa  joint  venture was  effectively
terminated on December 31, 1996.  The  Partnership  has  eliminated the minority
interest related to this joint venture,  as such, the Partnership  owned 100% of
the underlying assets as of December 31, 1996.

The co-venture  partner was an affiliate of Evans Withycombe,  Inc.  ("EWI"),  a
Phoenix based  residential  development,  construction  and management firm. EWI
developed the property known as Mariposa.

In  accordance  with the  terms  of the sale  agreement  and the  joint  venture
agreement,   through   September  30,  1999,  the  Partnership  has  contributed
$3,301,020 to the Mariposa Joint Venture, which was used to: (1) repay a portion
of the construction loan from a third party lender, (2) cover operating deficits
incurred during the lease up period,  (3) pay for certain capital  improvements,
(4) fund  $430,474  of  property  acquisition  costs and (5) pay  certain  costs
associated with the refinancing of the permanent loan.

JANUARY 1, 1996 THROUGH MAY 13, 1996

Net cash from  operations (as defined in the joint venture  agreement) was to be
distributed,  as available,  to each joint venture partner,  not less often than
quarterly, as follows:

         First,  to  the  Partnership  an  amount  equal  to  10.6%  per  annum,
         noncumulative  (computed daily on a simple noncompounded basis from the
         date of completion funding) of the Partnership's capital investment (as
         defined in the joint venture agreement);

         Second,  the balance 70% to the  Partnership and 30% to the other joint
         venture partner.

All losses from operations and  depreciation for the Mariposa Joint Venture were
allocated 99.5% to the Partnership and 0.5% to the other joint venture partner.

All profits from  operations  were  allocated to each joint venture  partner pro
rata in accordance  with the  distribution  of net cash from operations for such
fiscal year.

In the case of certain capital  transactions and distributions as defined in the
joint venture  agreement,  the  allocation of related  profits,  losses and cash
distributions,  if any, would be different than as described  above and would be
affected by the relative balances in the individual partners' capital accounts.

4.  Joint Venture and Property Acquisitions, continued

MAY 14, 1996 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30, 1997

On May 14, 1996, the Partnership and certain affiliates consummated an agreement
with Evans  Withycombe  Management,  Inc. and certain of its affiliates  ("EWI")
which  separated the interests of EWI and the  Partnership,  thus  affording the
Partnership  greater  flexibility  in  the  operation  and  disposition  of  the
properties.  In  consideration of a payment by the Partnership to EWI of $38,732
and for certain mutual  releases,  EWI (i)  relinquished  its contract to manage
certain  Partnership  properties  and its option to exercise its rights of first
refusal with regard to the sale of those properties and (ii) assigned all of its
interest in the Mariposa Joint Venture to the Partnership  (while preserving the
economic interests of the venturer in the Joint Venture), which resulting in the
dissolution of the Mariposa Joint Venture.  EWI may still share in the cash flow
distributions or proceeds from sale if certain performance levels are met.

The Partnership sold the Mariposa property on September 30, 1997 for a net sales
price  of  $5,037,000  to an  unaffiliated  third  party.  A  gain  on  sale  of
approximately   $215,000  was  recognized  in  the  accompanying   statement  of
operations.  Net proceeds from the sale of $1,663,335  were  distributed  to the
partners  based on the  terms of the  original  Joint  Venture  Agreement.  This
agreement  provides for EWI to receive a  distribution  of proceeds from sale in
the event  certain  performance  levels are met. The property did not meet these
performance  levels;  as such, all proceeds were distributed to existing limited
partners.  The  Partnership  repaid  first  mortgage  financing in the amount of
$2,862,000 at closing utilizing a portion of the proceeds of the sale.

Canyon View East

On March 8, 1989, the  Partnership  acquired an interest in the Canyon View East
Joint Venture which owns and operates a 96-unit residential  property located in
Tucson, Arizona known as Canyon View East. Since the Partnership owns a majority
interest in the Canyon View East Joint  Venture,  the accounts and operations of
the joint  venture have been  consolidated  into those of the  Partnership.  The
Partnership has been designated the managing joint venture partner of the Canyon
View East Joint Venture and will have control over all  decisions  affecting the
Canyon View East Joint Venture and the property.

In  accordance  with the terms of the purchase  agreement  and the joint venture
agreement,  the Partnership  has contributed  $4,857,203 to the Canyon View East
Joint Venture through September 30, 1999, which was used to: (1) repay a portion
of the construction loan from a third party lender, (2) cover operating deficits
incurred during the lease up period,  (3) fund $523,022 of property  acquisition
costs and (4) pay certain costs associated with the permanent loan refinancing.

Net cash from  operations  (as defined in the joint venture  agreement) is to be
distributed,  as available,  to each joint venture partner,  not less often than
quarterly, as follows:

         First,  to the  Partnership  an  amount  equal  to  11.25%  per  annum,
         noncumulative  (computed daily on a simple noncompounded basis from the
         date of completion funding) of the Partnership's capital investment (as
         defined in the joint venture agreement);

         Second,  the balance 75% to the  Partnership and 25% to the other joint
         venture partners.

4.  Joint Venture and Property Acquisitions, continued

All losses  from  operations  and  depreciation  for the Canyon  View East Joint
Venture were allocated 100% to the Partnership.

All profits from  operations  were  allocated to each joint  venture  partner in
accordance  with,  and to the  extent  of,  the  distribution  of net cash  from
operations.  Any excess profits were allocated 100% to the  Partnership.  In the
case of certain capital  transactions and  distributions as defined in the joint
venture  agreement,   the  allocation  of  related  profits,   losses  and  cash
distributions,  if any, would be different than as described  above and would be
effected by the relative balances in the individual partners' capital accounts.

For the nine months ended  September  30, 1999,  and 1998,  the Canyon View East
Joint Venture had a net income of $138,515 and $51,220, respectively.

5.  Investment in Partnership:

On September 28, 1990,  the  Partnership  contributed  $1,800,000 to purchase an
approximate 38.3% interest in Casabella Associates,  a general partnership among
the Partnership,  Berry and Boyle Development Partners (A Massachusetts  Limited
Partnership)   ("DPI")  and  Berry  and  Boyle   Development   Partners  III  (A
Massachusetts  Limited Partnership)  ("DPIII").  In addition to its contribution
referred to above,  the  Partnership  incurred  $268,861 of  acquisition  costs,
including  $186,300  in  acquisition  fees  paid to the  General  Partners.  The
difference  between  the  partnership's  carrying  value  of the  investment  in
Casabella  Associates  and the  amount of  underlying  equity in net  assets was
$186,300, representing a portion of the acquisition costs stated above that were
not recorded on the books of Casabella Associates.

The co-venturer  partner was an affiliate of Evans Withycombe,  Inc. ("EWI"),  a
Phoenix based residential development, construction and management firm. EWI was
also the developer of the Casabella property.

On May 22, 1998, Casabella Associates sold its only material asset, Casabella, a
154-unit  multi family rental  property in Scottsdale,  Arizona  pursuant to the
terms of a Sale  Agreement  and  Escrow  Instructions  (the  "Agreement")  dated
February  4, 1998,  as  amended.  Casabella  was sold to  Casabella  Condominium
Ventures  Limited  Partnership,  a  limited  partnership  unaffiliated  with the
Partnership. The net selling price was $11,418,702, subject to certain customary
adjustments   net  of  a  credit  to  the  purchaser  of  $120,000  for  capital
improvements.  Casabella Associates repaid mortgage financing in the approximate
amount of $6,750,400  at closing  utilizing a portion of proceeds from the sale.
The net  proceeds  to  Casabella  Associates  from  the sale of  Casabella  were
approximately  $4,570,300  of which the  Partnership's  share was  approximately
$1,750,425.

Casabella  Associates  recognized  a gain on sale of  $2,066,086,  of which  the
Partnership's  share was  approximately  $791,310  less the $186,300  difference
between  the  Partnership's  carrying  value  of  its  investment  in  Casabella
Associates and the amount of equity in the underlying  assets. EWI did not share
in the proceeds from sale of the  properties  since certain  performance  levels
were not satisfied.

6.  Partners' Equity:

Under the terms of the  Partnership  Agreement  profits are allocated 98% to the
Limited Partners and 2% to the General Partners; losses are allocated 99% to the
Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partners.

Cash distributions to the partners are governed by the Partnership Agreement and
are made,  to the extent  available,  98% to the Limited  Partners and 2% to the
General Partners.

The allocation of the related profits, losses, and distributions,  if any, would
be different  than  described  above in the case of certain events as defined in
the  Partnership  Agreement,  such as the sale of an  investment  property or an
interest in a joint venture partnership. 7. Related Party Transactions:

L'Auberge Communities, Inc. is a  General Partner of L'Auberge Communities,
which owns a 99% interest in GP L'Auberge Communities, L.P.  (formerly Berry and
Boyle Management).  Due to affiliates at September 30, 1999 and
December 31, 1998 consisted of $16,500 and $53,117, respectively, relating to
reimbursable costs due to L'Auberge
Communities, Inc.

As of September 30, 1999 and 1998, general and administrative  expenses included
$40,752, and $46,844, respectively, of salary reimbursements paid to the General
Partners for certain  administrative  and  accounting  personnel  who  performed
services for the Partnership.

During the nine months ended  September 30, 1999 and 1998,  property  management
fees of  $27,041  and  $40,232,  respectively,  had  been  paid  to  Residential
Services-L'Auberge,  formerly Berry and Boyle Residential Services, an affiliate
of the General Partners of the Partnership. These fees are 4% of rental revenue.

8.        Assets Held for Sale:

During the fourth  quarter of 1997,  the  General  Partners  of the  Partnership
committed  to a plan to  dispose  of Canyon  View East in  Tucson,  Arizona.  In
February  1998,  the  Partnership  entered  into a sales  agreement  (the "Sales
Agreement") to sell Canyon View East to Tucson Realty Holding Co., Inc. ("TRH"),
an unaffiliated third party, for approximately $6,648,503. The sale was approved
by the Limited Partners in May 1998.

As  previously  reported,  the sale of Canyon View East to TRH had been  delayed
because  of a lawsuit  filed by  another  party  claiming  that it had  properly
exercised  a right of first  refusal to purchase  Canyon View East.  On June 30,
1999 the  dispute  was  resolved,  and all  litigation  terminated,  through the
execution of a settlement  agreement by all parties.  The  settlement  agreement
included  the  termination  of all  rights  of the  holder of the right of first
refusal to purchase Canyon View  Apartments in exchange for a cash payment.  The
Partnership's  contribution,  net of the receipt of an insurance  reimbursement,
was $65,000.

Following the  consummation of the settlement,  TRH elected to withdraw from the
sale transaction with no liability to the Partnership, because of the long delay
in  achieving a closing of the  transaction.  While  there can be no  assurance,
certain market  conditions  suggest that the Canyon View East  Apartments may be
sold at a  potentially  higher  price  than the price  contemplated  in the Sale
Agreement.  The General Partners are currently  reoffering  Canyon View East for
sale and intend to complete the sale in as expeditious a manner as possible.

As it is the intent of the  General  Partners  to pursue the sale of Canyon View
East, the  Partnership  has recorded the asset at the lower of carrying value or
net  realizable  value and has included these amounts as Assets Held for Sale on
the Consolidated  Balance Sheets effective December 31, 1997. In accordance with
SFAS 121, the Partnership stopped depreciating these assets effective January 1,
1998.  If  closing  of the sale were to occur,  any  proceeds  from sale will be
allocated  to the  Partners  in  accordance  with the  terms of the  Partnership
Agreement and the Partnership will likely be liquidated.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

This Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations contains  forward-looking  statements  including those concerning the
General Partners' expectations regarding future financial performance and future
events.   These   forward-looking   statements  involve   significant  risk  and
uncertainties,  including  those  described  herein.  Actual  results may differ
materially from those anticipated by such forward-looking statements.

Liquidity; Capital Resources

The working  capital  reserves  of the  Partnership  consisted  of cash and cash
equivalents  and  short-term  investments.  Together  these amounts  provide the
Partnership with the necessary  liquidity to carry on its day-to-day  operations
and to make necessary  contributions to the various joint ventures. At September
30, 1999, the  Partnership  had cash and cash  equivalents of $682,049  compared
with  $602,283 at December  31,  1998.  The  aggregate  net  increase in working
capital  reserves  was  $79,766,  which was the  result  from cash  provided  by
operations of $125,970, offset by partner distributions in the amount of $46,204
 .

Property Status

The Partnership  owns a majority joint venture  interest in the Canyon View East
Joint Venture, an Arizona joint venture that owns and operates Canyon View East,
a 96-unit  multifamily rental property in Tucson,  Arizona.  Until May 1998, the
Partnership  owned a  majority  interest  in two  joint  ventures:  (1) Pines at
Cheyenne Creek Joint Venture which owned and operated  L'Auberge  Cheyenne Creek
(formerly  The  Pines  on  Cheyenne  Creek)  ("Cheyenne   Creek'),   a  108-unit
multifamily  rental property in Colorado  Springs,  Colorado;  and (2) Casabella
Associates which in turn, owned and operated Casabella,  a 154-unit multifamily,
rental property in Scottsdale,  Arizona.  Cheyenne Creek and Casabella were sold
in May 1998.  Until its sale on September 30, 1997,  the  Partnership  owned and
operated  Mariposa,  an  84-unit  multifamily  rental  property  in  Scottsdale,
Arizona. The ownership of Mariposa was formerly structured as a joint venture of
which the Partnership owned a majority interest.  With regard to the termination
of the Mariposa Joint  Venture,  see Note 4 of Notes to  Consolidated  Financial
Statements.  As  further  discussed  in  Note 8 of  the  Notes  to  Consolidated
Financial Statements, Canyon View East is being offer for sale.

Canyon View East

The  property  was 91%  occupied  as of  September  30,  1999,  compared  to 88%
approximately one year ago. At September 30, 1999 and 1998, the market rents for
the various unit types were as follows:

                          Unit Type                      1999             1998

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 and
1998:

Partnership  operations  for the nine months ended  September 30, 1999 generated
net  income  of  $196,449  compared  with  a net  income  of  $558,024  for  the
corresponding period in 1998. Revenue decreased by $404,404 or 37% primarily due
to the  fact  that  Cheyenne  Creek  was  sold on May 28,  1998.  Likewise,  the
operating  expenses  decreased by $186,305 or 39%  primarily  due to the sale of
Cheyenne Creek. General and administrative  expenses increased by $16,121 or 8%,
due to the $65,000 payment for the Canyon View litigation settlement,  offset by
a $48,879 reduction in expenses including  professional fees associated with the
sale of the  properties  in  1998,  as  well as  accounting  fees  and  investor
services.

Year 2000 Issues

The Partnership's management has addressed the Year 2000 issue of its management
information systems and financial reporting systems.

The remaining  real-estate  asset of the  Partnership is Canyon View, a 168-unit
multi-family  residential property.  Canyon View's management information system
is AMSI and is already Year 2000 compliant.

The  Partnership's  only  mission  critical  system is its  financial  reporting
software  which is  currently  maintained  on the Platinum  accounting  software
system,  which has not been  updated  to handle the Year 2000 date  change.  The
Partnership's  management  has  already  purchased  AMSI's  financial  reporting
system, which is Year 2000 compliant.  The financial records will be transferred
to the AMSI accounting software prior to the end of 1999.

The accounting systems are run on a Novell network,  which has been upgraded for
compliance  with  the Year  2000.  The  Partnership's  share of the cost of this
upgrade was approximately $595.

Management  anticipates that all essential functions relative to maintaining the
Partnership,  if any  remain at that  time,  will be  operational  and the costs
associated  with Year 2000  compliance  will not have a  material  impact on the
Partnership.
