PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
This form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance
or achievements of the Partnership to be materially different from any future
results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking
statements. Such factors include, among other things, (i) general economic and
business conditions; (ii) interest rate changes; (iii) competition; (iv)
demographic changes; (v) slow growth initiatives; (vi) governmental regulation,
including the interpretation of tax, labor and environmental laws; (vii); (viii)
required accounting changes; and (ix) other factors over which the Partnership
has little or no control.
Development Partners II (A Massachusetts Limited Partnership) (the
"Partnership"), formerly Berry and Boyle Development Partners II, was formed on
January 9, 1987. The General Partners are Stephen B. Boyle and GP L'Auberge
Communities, L.P., a California Limited Partnership (formerly Berry and Boyle
Management).
The Partnership was formed to operate and ultimately dispose of a diversified
portfolio of income-producing residential real properties directly or through
its joint venture interests in joint ventures which own such properties.
Descriptions of such properties are included below in Item 2, as well as in
Notes 5 and 6 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in
this report and incorporated herein by reference thereto.
As further discussed in Item 2 below and in Note 10 of the Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements, after taking into consideration such factors
as the price to be realized, the possible risks of continued ownership and the
anticipated advantages to be gained for the partners, the General Partners
determined during 1997 that it would be in the best interests of the Partnership
and the partners to dissolve the Partnership and liquidate its assets in 1998
(the "Dissolution"). Under the provisions of the Partnership's Partnership
Agreement, the Dissolution of the Partnership required the consent of a majority
in interest of the limited partners. In March 1998, the General Partners
requested the consent of the limited partners to the Dissolution pursuant to a
Consent Solicitation Statement first mailed to the limited partners on or about
March 20, 1998. The consent of a majority in interest of the limited partners to
the dissolution was obtained in April 1998. Two of the properties owned by the
Partnership or in which the Partnership owned an interest were sold to
purchasers unaffiliated with the General Partners. These properties were
Cheyenne Creek and Casabella, both sold in May 1998. Net proceeds from this sale
were used to retire Canyon View East's existing mortgage debt, which had been
due to mature in September 1998 as well as the mortgage debt of Cheyenne Creek
and Casabella. Canyon View East, the sole remaining property owned by the
Partnership, is under contract to be sold to a purchaser unaffiliated with the
general Partners. Net proceeds from the sale will not be reinvested by the
Partnership or its joint ventures, but will be distributed to the partners so
that the Partnership will, in effect, be self-liquidating.
On-site management of the Partnership property is currently provided by an
affiliate of the General Partners. The terms of such property management
services between the Partnership (or joint venture) and the property manager are
embodied in a written management agreement. Property management fees equal 4% of
the gross revenues. The property manager is responsible for on-site operations
and maintenance, generation and collection of rental income, and payment of
operating expenses.
The difference between rental income and expenses related to operations,
including items such as local taxes and assessments, utilities, insurance
premiums, maintenance, repairs and improvements (and reserves therefor),
bookkeeping and payroll expenses, legal and accounting fees, property management
fees and other expenses incurred, constitute the properties' operating cash
flow. The Partnership's internal administrative expenses are paid out of the
Partnership's share of such cash flow from the various properties and from
interest income which the Partnership earns on its short-term investments.
The success of the Partnership will depend upon factors which are difficult to
predict and many of which are beyond the control of the Partnership. Such
factors include, among others, general economic and real estate market
conditions, both on a national basis and in those areas where the Partnership's
investments are located, competitive factors, the availability and cost of
borrowed funds, real estate tax rates, federal and state income tax laws,
operating expenses (including maintenance and insurance), energy costs,
government regulations, and potential liability under and changes in
environmental and other laws, as well as the successful management of the
property.
The Partnership considers itself to be engaged in only one industry segment,
multi-family real estate investment.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
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. The Partnership also
owned a majority interest in the 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. Cheyenne Creek was sold in May 1998. The Partnership also
owned a minority interest in Casabella Associates which in turn, owned and
operated Casabella, a 154-unit multifamily, rental property in Scottsdale,
Arizona. Casabella also was 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. The Pines at Cheyenne Creek originally included the developer of
Cheyenne Creek as a joint venturer. With regard to the termination of the
Mariposa Joint Venture and the resignation of the developer from the Pines on
Cheyenne Creek Joint Venture, see Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements. As further discussed below under "Pending Sales" and in Note 10 of
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Canyon View East is under
contract to be sold to a purchaser unaffiliated with the General Partners.
Canyon View East
On March 8, 1989, the Partnership acquired a majority interest in the Canyon
View East Joint Venture. The Partnership has been designated as the managing
venturer of the joint venture. In accordance with the terms of the purchase
agreement and of the joint venture agreement, through December 31, 1999, the
Partnership has contributed total capital of $4,334,180 to the joint venture
which was used to repay a portion of the construction loan from a third party
lender, to pay costs related to the permanent loan refinancing, to cover
operating deficits incurred during the lease up period and to fund certain
capital improvements. The Partnership also incurred $523,022 of property
acquisition and organization costs which were subsequently treated as a capital
contribution to the joint venture.
The property was 92% occupied as of January 15, 2000, compared to 91%
approximately one year ago. At December 1999 and 1998, the
market rents for the various unit types were as follows:
Unit Type 1999 1998
Two bedroom two bath $875 $875
Three bedroom two bath $1,010 $1,010
Cheyenne Creek
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, 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 $57,600 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 in 1998.
Mariposa
On September 30, 1997, Mariposa was sold pursuant to the terms of the Sales
Agreement dated May 6, 1997, as amended. Mariposa was sold to Mariposa
Condominium Ventures Limited Partnership, an Arizona Limited Partnership
unaffiliated with the Partnership. The net selling price for Mariposa was
$5,037,000 subject to certain customary adjustments. Proceeds from the sale were
used for the repayment of mortgage financing in the amount of $2,862,000, paid
at closing. The Partnership recorded a gain on sale of approximately $215,000.
Casabella
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. Proceeds from sale were used to repay mortgage financing in the
approximate amount of $6,750,400 at closing. The net proceeds to Casabella
Associates from the sale of Casabella were approximately $4,570,300 of which the
Partnership's share is approximately $1,750,425.
Pending Sales
On March 2, 2000, the Partnership entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement
and Escrow Instructions (the "Agreement") to sell Canyon View East to Tucson
Canyon View LLC ("TCV"), an unaffiliated third party. The selling price for
Canyon View East is approximately $7.4 million. In May 1998, the Limited
Partners had approved the dissolution of the Partnership and the sale of
Canyon View East. At that time, the Partnership had entered into an
agreement to sell Canyon View East for approximately $6.6 million to Tucson
Realty Holding Co., Inc. ("TRH"). 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 East Apartments in exchange of a cash
payment. In July 1999, the agreement with TRH was terminated without
consummation of the sale of Canyon View East.
See Note 10 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The
Partnership owns a joint venture interest in Canyon View East Joint Venture
which holds fee simple title to the property. The Partnership's co-venturers
are unaffiliated with the Partnership and the General Partners. No co-venturer
will be entitled to receive any portion of the proceeds of the sale of Canyon
View East. Under the terms of the Canyon View East Joint Venture Agreement, the
Partnership's co-venturers were granted a right of first refusal to purchase
Canyon View East on the same terms and conditions as an accepted third party
offer to purchase the property. That right of first refusal will apply to the
proposed sale to TCV except that in connection with the settlement of the
litigation involving the proposed sale to TRH, the co-venturer who had been
the plaintiff relinquished any right of first refusal on Canyon View East.
In the event of a sale to TCV, Canyon View East would be sold together with an
adjoining apartment phase owned by Canyon View Joint Venture, an affiliated
entity which is the Managing Venturer of Development Partners, a public limited
partnership. The approximately $18.7 million total purchase price for the two
adjacent properties was allocated between the two joint ventures based on the
gross rent potential of the two properties.
The Purchase Agreement provides that the sale is subject to the subdivision of
the property into condominiums by the Partnership prior to the Closing and that
the purchaser, TCV, has the right to conduct its "due diligence" review of the
property. This review includes, but is not limited to, a physical inspection and
examination of title and environmental matters. During the due diligence period,
TCV has the customary right to withdraw its offer for any reason. Because the
property sale is subject to the recordation of a subdivision map approved by
Pima County, Arizona, and to TCV's due diligence review of the property, there
can be no assurance that the proposed sale described above will actually occur.
Alternatively, as is customary in similar real estate transactions, if, during
the due diligence period, the purchaser identifies conditions which are
unacceptable to it, the purchaser may seek a purchase price adjustment, which
the General Partners would consider and negotiate as they deem appropriate. The
Purchase Agreement provides that in the event that the purchaser defaults by
failing to close following the end of the due diligence period, the Partnership
will be entitled to retain the purchaser's deposit as liquidated damages.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are no pending material legal proceedings to which the Partnership or any
joint venture in which it owns an interest is a party, or of which any of the
properties is subject.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth
quarter of 1999.
<PAGE>
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED
SHAREHOLDER MATTERS
The transfer of Units is subject to certain limitations contained in the
Partnership Agreement. There is no public market for the Units and it is not
anticipated that any such public market will develop.
The number of Unit holders as of December 31, 1999 was 1,798.
Distributions are made to the Partners on a quarterly basis based upon Net Cash
from Operations, as calculated under Section 10 of the Partnership Agreement.
Total cash distributions to the Limited Partners for 1999 and 1998 were paid as
follows:
Date of

ITEM 7. 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
During its public offering in 1987 and 1988, the Partnership admitted 1,918
investors who purchased a total of 36,963 Units aggregating $18,481,500. These
offering proceeds, net of organizational and offering costs of $2,772,225,
provided $15,709,275 of net proceeds to be used for the purchase of
income-producing residential properties, including related fees and expenses,
and working capital reserves. The Partnership expended $14,689,033 to (i)
acquire its interests in the Pines on Cheyenne Creek Joint Venture, the Mariposa
Joint Venture, the Canyon View East Joint Venture and Associates, (ii) to pay
acquisition expenses, including acquisition fees to the General Partners, (iii)
pay costs associated with the refinancing of the permanent loans for Cheyenne
Creek, Mariposa and Canyon View East and (iv) to cover operating deficits
incurred during the initial lease up period. The remaining net proceeds of
$1,020,242 were used to establish working capital reserves sufficient to meet
the future needs of the Partnership, including contributions that may be
required at the various joint ventures, as determined by the General Partners.
As of December 31, 1999, $666,512 cumulatively was contributed to the joint
ventures for this purpose.
In addition to the proceeds generated from the public offering, the Partnership
has utilized external sources of financing at the joint venture level to
purchase properties. The Partnership Agreement limits the aggregate mortgage
indebtedness which may be incurred in connection with the acquisition of
Partnership properties to 80% of the purchase price of such properties.
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 December
31, 1999, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of $799,478 compared
with $602,283 at December 31, 1998. The aggregate net increase in working
capital was $197,195. The increase resulted primarily from cash provided from
operation of $244,342, offset by distributions to partners of $47,147.
In the event that the remaining property of Partnership is not sold pursuant to
the Purchase Agreement, the Partnership would continue to operate the property
until a substitute sale could be negotiated and consummated. The Partnership's
ability to generate cash adequate to meet its needs is dependent primarily on
the successful operations of its real estate investment. Such ability may also
be dependent upon the future availability of bank borrowings, and upon the
future refinancing and sale of the Partnership's real estate investment and the
collection of any mortgage receivable which may result from such a sale. These
sources of liquidity will be used by the Partnership for payment of expenses
related to real estate operations, debt service and professional and management
fees and expenses. Net Cash From Operations and Net Proceeds, if any, as defined
in the Partnership Agreement, will then be available for distribution to the
Partners in accordance with Section 10 of the Partnership Agreement. The General
Partners believe that the current working capital reserves together with
projected cash flows for 2000 are adequate to meet the Partnership's operating
cash needs in the coming year if the Partnership is required to continue to own
and operate its property. However, it is the intent of the General Partners that
this property will be sold in fiscal 2000.

</TABLE>
Comparison of 1999 and 1998 Operating Results:
Partnership operations for the year ended December 31, 1999 generated net income
of $273,179 compared with a net income of $534,828 for the corresponding period
in 1998. Rental revenue decreased by $305,793 or 25% primarily due to the fact
that Cheyenne Creek was sold on May 28, 1998. Likewise, the operating expenses
decreased by $187,908 or 32%. The was no depreciation recorded for 1999 and
1998 as discussed in Note 10 in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Had the
Partnership recorded depreciation on the assets held for sale, the depreciation
expense would have been approximately $212,000 each year. Canyon View East's
rental revenue increased by $64,699 or 8% due to higher occupancy levels
during the year. General and administrative expenses decreased by $73,475
or 21% primarily due to reduction in expenses associated with the sale of the
properties in 1998, as well as accounting fees and investor services. Also
included in general and administrative expenses for 1999 is the Partnership's
share of a settlement agreement net of insurance proceeds received of $65,000.
Comparison of 1998 and 1997 Operating Results:
Partnership operations for the year ended December 31, 1998 generated net income
of $534,828, including a $80,778 loss on the sale of Cheyenne Creek compared
with a net loss of $936,619 for the corresponding period in 1997. Rental revenue
decreased by $1,120,596 or 48% primarily due to the fact that Mariposa was sold
on September 30, 1997 and Cheyenne Creek was sold on May 28, 1998. Likewise, the
operating expenses decreased by $608,403 or 51% primarily due to the sale of the
properties. General and administrative expenses increased by $125,422 or 58%
primarily due to the legal costs associated with the lawsuit filed regarding the
sales contract on Canyon View as discussed in Note 10.
Projected 2000 Operating Results:
As further discussed in Item 2 above and in Note 10 of the Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements, the remaining property owned by the
Partnership is under contract to be sold to a purchaser unaffiliated with the
General Partners. The Closing Date is subject to the due diligence process. If
the sale does occur as anticipated, the Partnership will likely be liquidated in
2000. Although there can be no assurance the Partnership will dispose of its
remaining property during 2000 pursuant to the Purchase Agreements or otherwise,
the Partnership will continue to seek to dispose of the property. In the event
that the Partnership were to dispose of the property during 2000, operating
results of the Partnership would vary significantly from those achieved in prior
periods.
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 Year 2000 compliant.
The Partnership's only mission critical system was its financial reporting
software which was maintained on the Platinum accounting software system, which
has not been updated to handle the Year 2000 date change. However, the
Partnership's financial records were successfully converted to the AMSI
financial reporting system, which is Year 2000 compliant. In addition, the
accounting systems are run on the Novell network, which was upgraded for
compliance with the Year 2000. The Partnership's share of the cost of the
upgrade was $450. The Partnership did not experience any negative systems impact
from the turn of the millennium.

Report of Independent Accountants
To the Partners of
Development Partners II
(a Massachusetts Limited Partnership)
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and related
consolidated statements of operations, partners' equity (deficit) and cash flows
present fairly in all material respects, the financial position of Development
Partners II, a Massachusetts Limited Partnership (the "Partnership"), and its
subsidiaries at December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States. These financial statements are the responsibility of the General
Partners of the Partnership; our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States which 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, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe our audits
provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
As discussed in Note 10, the General Partners of the Partnership have entered
into a sales agreement to sell the remaining property of the Partnership. If
closing of this sale were to occur, any proceeds from sale will be distributed
in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement and the Partnership
will likely be liquidated.

DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS II
(A Massachusetts Limited Partnership)
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 1,798
investors at December 31, 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 10.)
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 5 and 6
regarding the termination of the joint ventures and sale of Mariposa,
Cheyenne Creek and Casabella.
The Partnership follows the accrual basis of accounting.
The Partnership considers itself to have been engaged in only one
industry segment, multi-family real estate investment.
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.
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 40 years
Equipment, furnishings and fixtures 5-15 years
As discussed further in Note 10, 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 Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (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 10,
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. As
further discussed in Note 5, the Partnership sold Cheyenne Creek in May
1998 and recorded a loss on sale of $80,778 during 1998.

Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 1999 and 1998 consisted of the
following:
1999 1998
Cash on hand $799,478 $602,283
5. Joint Venture, Acquisitions and Sales of Properties:
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 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 December 31, 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% 5. Joint Venture, Acquisitions and Sales of
Properties, continued:
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, 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 December 31, 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
5. Joint Venture, Acquisitions and Sales of Properties, continued:
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.
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.
5. Joint Venture, Acquisitions and Sales of Properties, continued:
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 December 31, 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.
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 years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 the Canyon View East Joint
Venture had a net income of $520,735, $230,623 and a net loss of $51,193,
respectively.
6. Investment in Partnership:

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 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 operations and disposition of Casabella.
The Partnership, DPI and DPIII paid $71,009 to EWI ($26,983 of which was the
Partnership's portion) and delivered certain mutual releases. EWI (i)
relinquished its contract to manage Casabella and its option to exercise its
rights to first refusal 6. Investment in Partnership, continued:
with regard to the sale of the property and (ii) assigned all of its interest in
the Casabella Joint Venture to the Partnership, DPI and DPIII (while preserving
the economic interest of the venture in these Joint Ventures), which resulted in

flow distributions or the proceeds from sale of the properties if certain
performance levels are met.

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.

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.
Supplemental financial statements for Casabella Associates are presented in an

Limited Partners and 2% to the General Partners; losses are allocated 99% to the

9. 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

of $36,136, $48,745 and 92,249, 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.
10. 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.
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 cost, net of the
receipt of an insurance reimbursement, was $65,000. This expense is included
in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of
operations for the year ended December 31, 1999.
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. On March 2, 2000, the Partnership
entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement and Escrow Instructions (the
"Agreement") to sell Canyon View to Tucson Canyon View LLC ("TCV"), an
unaffiliated third party for approximately $7,400,000.
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. Had the Partnership recorded depreciation on the
assets held for sale, the depreciation expense would have been approximately
$212,000 each year for the Canyon View property.
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 liquidate.
