        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         There was no rental income for the three months ended March 31, 1996
         due to the Partnership no longer owning any rental properties.

         Operating expenses increased $16,574 for the three months ended March
         31, 1996, compared to the same period in the prior year, due to bad
         debt expense representing the write-off of uncollectible rent amounts
         owed since April 1994.

         Interest income decreased $10,006 for the three months ended March 31,
         1996, compared to the same period in the prior year, due to the
         collection of a delinquent note receivable in February 1996.

         General and administrative expenses decreased $10,788 for the three
         months ended March 31, 1996, compared to the same period in the prior
         year. This change is primarily attributable to decreased accounting,
         appraisal, and registrar expenses. However, this decrease was partially
         offset by increased legal expenses related to the collection of the
         delinquent note receivable.

         Loss on disposal of note receivable of $150,148 is the result of the
         collection of a delinquent note receivable for less than the total
         principal and interest amounts owed.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Partnership has met its liquidity needs through cash reserves and
         operating income. The Partnership currently has no material commitments
         and anticipates that these sources will continue to be adequate to meet
         the Partnership's future liquidity needs.
