                                     PART I

Item 1.  Business

                  a.     General Development of Business

                         Diversified  Historic  Investors IV ("Registrant") is a
limited  partnership  formed in 1987  under  the  Pennsylvania  Uniform  Limited
Partnership  Act. As of December 31, 1995,  Registrant had  outstanding  8,285.7
units of limited partnership interest (the "Units").

                         Registrant  is presently  in its  operating  stage.  It
currently owns three  properties or interests  therein.  See Item 2. Properties,
for a description thereof. For a discussion of the operations of the Registrant,
See  Part  II,  Item  7.  Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial
Conditions and Results of Operations.

                         The following is a summary of significant  transactions
involving the Registrant's interests:

                         During  1994,  the  Registrant  converted  the Property
(Henderson   Riverfront   Apartments)   owned  by  700  Commerce   Mall  General
Partnership,  a Louisiana general partnership in which the Registrant owns a 95%
interest, into condominiums ("the Units") and began offering the Units for sale.
As of  December  31,  1995,  33 of the 61 Units have been  sold.  See Part II.a.
Properties - The Henderson Riverfront Apartments, for additional information.

                  a.     Financial Information about Industry Segments

                         The Registrant operates in one industry segment.

                  c.     Narrative Description of Business

                         Registrant  is in the business of  operating,  holding,
selling, exchanging and otherwise dealing in and with real properties containing
improvements which are "Certified Historic  Structures," as such term is defined
in the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") for use as apartments, offices, hotels
and  commercial  spaces,  or any  combination  thereof,  or low  income  housing
eligible for the tax credit  provided by Section 42 of the Code,  and such other
uses as the Registrant's general partner may deem appropriate.

                         Since the  Registrant's  inception,  all the properties
acquired  either by the Registrant,  or the subsidiary  partnerships in which it
has an interest,  have been  rehabilitated and certified as Historic  Structures
and have received the related Investment Tax Credit. All the properties are held
for rental operations,  except for the Henderson Riverfront Apartments which are
being marketed for sale as condominiums. At this time it is anticipated that the
other two  properties  will continue to be held for this purpose until such time
as real property  values begin to increase.  At that time, the  Registrant  will
re-evaluate its investment strategy regarding the properties.

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
                         As of December 31, 1995,  Registrant owned interests in
three  properties,  located in North Carolina  (one),  Pennsylvania  (one),  and
Louisiana  (one). In total,  the properties  contain 22 apartment  units, and 28
condominium  units used as rental  units.  As of December  31,  1995,  35 of the
apartment and condominium units were under lease at monthly rental rates ranging
from $460 to $910. Rental of the apartments is not expected to be seasonal.  For
a further discussion of the properties, see Item 2. Properties.

                         The  Registrant  is  affected  by  and  subject  to the
general  competitive  conditions of the residential real estate  industry.  As a
result of the overbuilding that occurred in the 1980's, the competition for both
residential and commercial  tenants in the local markets where the  Registrant's
properties  are located is generally  strong.  As a result,  the  Registrant  is
forced to keep its rent levels  competitively  low in order to maintain moderate
to high occupancy  levels.  The properties held for rental by the Registrant are
located in Philadelphia and North Concord,  North Carolina.  In both areas there
are several similar historically  certified  rehabilitated  buildings.  However,
there is no  organization  which holds a dominant  position  in the  residential
housing or commercial leasing market in any of the geographic areas in which the
Registrant's properties are located. The apartment market remains stable and new
construction   remains  virtually   nonexistent  although  the  availability  of
favorable home  financing has placed  pressure on the rental tenant base. In New
Orleans,  there are a few similar projects that are currently being marketed for
sale. However,  the financing that has been made available by the Registrant has
given the Registrant a slight market advantage.

                         Registrant  has no employees.  Registrant's  activities
are overseen by Brandywine  Construction & Management,  Inc.,  ("BCMI"),  a real
estate management firm.

and Export Sales.

                         See  Item 8.  Financial  Statements  and  Supplementary
Data.

Item 2.  Properties

                  As of the date hereof,  Registrant owned three properties,  or
interests therein.  A summary  description of each property held at December 31,
1995 is given below.

                  a.  The  Henderson  Riverfront  Apartments  -  consists  of 61
condominium  units located at 700 Commerce Street,  New Orleans,  Louisiana.  In
July 1987,  Registrant was admitted with a 95% general  partner  interest in 700
Commerce Mall General Partnership ("CMGP"), a Louisiana general partnership, for
a cash  contribution of $4,620,000.  CMGP contracted to acquire and rehabilitate
the Property  for  $4,520,000  ($89 per square feet ("sf")  funded by the equity
contribution. During 1994, CMGP entered into agreements converting the Henderson
apartments  into  condominiums  and began offering the Units for sale. The Units
are being  marketed  and sold by an  affiliate  of the  Registrant's  co-general
partner ("HRI").  The asking prices of the units range from $72,000 to $135,000,
depending on size, configuration and location within the building. Funds will be
necessary  during the  selling  period for  improvements  and  repairs to common

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

areas, individual unit upgrades, marketing, selling costs, and fees. During 1995
and 1994, these expenses were approximately $416,000 and $752,000,  respectively
and were funded from the sales proceeds.  It is anticipated  that any additional
funds needed will be made  available  from the proceeds  from sales.  One of the
difficulties  in  selling  condos  in  today's  market is the  buyers'  frequent
inability to obtain financing. Most banks offering residential financing require
that  their  loans  meet  Federal   National   Mortgage   Association   ("FNMA")
requirements.  One such requirement is that the condo unit being financed cannot
be a part of a project in which 30% or more of the units are owned by investors.
At conversion,  the Henderson was owned 100% by CMGP, and,  therefore,  does not
meet FNMA  requirements.  Because of this and  similar  market  conditions,  the
seller,  CMGP has provided  financing for a large  percentage of the units sold.
All  loans  require a  minimum  10% down  payment,  and all  purchasers  must be
qualified by an independent  mortgage brokerage company,  using FNMA guidelines.
The loans are collateralized by the condominium units and bear interest at rates
ranging from 6 1/2% to 8 1/4%.  The loans consist of two types,  a 30-year fixed
rate  mortgage and a 7/23 loan.  The  interest  rate on the 7/23 loan during the
initial  7-year term will be fixed.  Interest  after the 7th  anniversary of the
loan will be reset at 250 basis points in excess of the 10-year Treasury Note as
reported  in the Wall  Street  Journal  for the next  business  day  immediately
preceding such 7th  anniversary,  rounded upward to the next highest 1/8% of 1%,
with a cap of 13.5%.  Interest and  principal  are due monthly and all principal
payments are based on a 30-year amortization  schedule. As of December 31, 1995,
33 of the 61  Units  have  been  sold  for an  aggregate  amount  of  $3,524,090
($2,356,090 net of selling  expenses and capital  expenditures,  including those
described  above).  It is anticipated  that the remaining  Units will be sold by
July 1996. The Units sold ranged in price from $71,250 to $127,065. Of the Units
sold, 24 of the 33 sellers opted for the seller  provided  financing  with loans
ranging  from  $62,700  to  $181,900.  The  property  is  managed  by a property
management firm which is an affiliate of the Registrant's  co-general partner of
CMGP.  At December 31, 1995, 15 of the remaining 28 units were under lease (54%)
at a monthly  rental  range of $500 to $910 as the units are being  prepared for
sale.

                         All  leases  are  renewable,   one-year   leases.   The
occupancy  for the previous four years was 85% for 1994,  92% for 1993,  93% for
1992 and 90% for 1991. The monthly rental range has been  approximately the same
since 1991.  For tax purposes at December 31, 1995,  this property has a federal
tax basis of $1,881,753 and is depreciated using the straight-line method with a
useful life of 27.5 years.  The annual  real estate  taxes are $13,444  which is
based on an assessed value of $124,650 taxed at a rate of $10.79 per $100.  Real
estate  tax  expense  for CMGP in 1995 was lower due to the  reimbursement  of a
portion of the year's taxes from the buyers of the Units. No one tenant occupies
ten percent or more of the building.  It is the opinion of the management of the
Registrant that the property is adequately covered by insurance.

                  b. The Brass  Works -  consists  of 12  apartments  located at
231-237  Race  Street,  Philadelphia,  Pennsylvania.  In  May  1987,  Registrant
acquired and  rehabilitated  the Property for $1,200,000 ($111 per sf) funded by
the equity contribution.  The Property is managed by BCMI. At December 31, 1995,
11 of the apartment units were under lease (92%) with monthly rents ranging from
$550 to $765.
                                      -4-

<PAGE>

                         All  leases  are  renewable,   one-year   leases.   The
occupancy  for the previous four years was 88% for 1994,  78% for 1993,  73% for
1992 and 83% for 1991. The monthly rental range has been  approximately the same
since  1991.  For tax  purposes,  this  property  has a  federal  tax  basis  of
$1,036,203 and is depreciated using the straight-line  method with a useful life
of 27.5 years.  The annual real  estate  taxes are $10,313  which is based on an
assessed  value of  $124,800  taxed at a rate of $8.264 per $100.  No one tenant
occupies  ten  percent  or  more  of  the  building.  It is the  opinion  of the
management  of the  Registrant  that  the  property  is  adequately  covered  by
insurance.

                  c. Locke  Mill Plaza  -consists  of 10  residential  apartment
condominium units in a 169 condominium unit project located on Buffalo Avenue at
Union Street in North Concord,  North  Carolina.  In November  1988,  Registrant
acquired  the  units for  $665,0000  funded by its  equity  contribution.  Until
September 1995, the Property was managed by an independent  property  management
firm. At that time,  BCMI took over  management of the units. As of December 31,
1995, 9 of the units were under lease (90%) with monthly rates ranging from $460
to $515.

                         All  leases  are  renewable,   one-year   leases.   The
occupancy for the previous four years was 98% for 1994,  100% for 1993, 100% for
1992 and 100% for 1991. The monthly rental range has been approximately the same
since 1991. For tax purposes,  this property has a federal tax basis of $614,229
and is  depreciated  using the  straight-line  method with a useful life of 27.5
years.  The annual  real estate  taxes are $4,887  which is based on an assessed
value of $452,540 taxed at a rate of $1.08 per $100. No one tenant  occupies ten
percent or more of the  building.  It is the  opinion of the  management  of the
Registrant that the property is adequately covered by insurance.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings

                  a. To the best of its knowledge, Registrant is not a party to,
nor  is  any  of its  property  the  subject  of,  any  pending  material  legal
proceeding.

Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

                  No matter was  submitted  during the fiscal  years  covered by
this report to a vote of security holders.

                                     PART II

Item 5.  Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

                  a.  There is no  established  public  trading  market  for the
Units.  Registrant does not anticipate any such market will develop.  Trading in
the Units occurs solely  through  private  transactions.  The  Registrant is not
aware of the prices at which trades occur.  Registrant's  records  indicate that
48.3 units were sold or exchanged in 1995.

                                      -5-

<PAGE>

                  b. As of December 31, 1995,  there were 990 record  holders of
Units.

                  c. In 1995  and  1994  Registrant  made  distributions  in the
amounts of $291,206 and $0 respectively, out of available cash flow.

Item 7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
         Conditions and Results of Operations

                  (1)    Liquidity

                         At December 31, 1995, Registrant had total unrestricted
cash of $346,511.  This  balance is comprised of $19,854 held by the  Registrant
and $326,657  which is held by the  properties in which the  Registrant  holds a
majority  interest.  The  Registrant  expects  that the  $326,657  plus the cash
generated  from  operations at each property and sales of the Units at CMGP will
be sufficient to fund the operating  expenses of the properties.  In addition to
the operating expenses of the properties, the Registrant distributed $277,000 to
the  limited  partners  in  March  1995.  The  Registrant  is not  aware  of any
additional sources of liquidity.

                         As of December 31, 1995, Registrant had restricted cash
of $366,524 consisting primarily of funds held as security deposits, replacement
reserves and escrows for taxes and  insurance and unpaid  conversion  fees. As a
consequence  of these  restrictions  as to use,  Registrant  does not deem these
funds to be a source of liquidity.

                         HRI, the Partnership's  co-general  partner in CMGP, is
to be paid a 10% conversion fee (the  "Conversion  Fee") on the sale of any Unit
at or above the agreed-upon sales price. Such fee is payable upon the closing of
the sale of each Unit,  provided  that the  Conversion  Fee from the sale of the
first 30 Units shall be deferred and paid as follows:

                                      -6-

                         (i)   $125,000 at the closing of the 31st unit

                         (ii)  the remaining  portion ("the  Remainder")  at the
                               rate of 5% of the  Remainder  at  the closing  of
                               the sale  of each of  the 42nd through 61st Units

In October  1995,  the 31st unit was sold and the  $125,000 was earned by HRI of
which  $100,000  has been paid to HRI.  The  Remainder,  amounting  to  $240,468
related to the sale of the first 31 units is included in  restricted  cash.  The
conversion  fees from the sales of units 31, 32 and 33 in the  amount of $34,025
are included in accounts  payable - related  party as of December 31, 1995 along
with  $25,000  from the first 31 units  which  has not yet been paid to HRI.  In
addition,  HRI will be paid a selling  commission  equal to 3.5% of the  selling
price of each Unit.  Commissions  paid to HRI during 1994 and 1995 were  $73,417
and $49,499, respectively.

                  (2)    Capital Resources

                         Due to the recent  rehabilitations  of the  properties,
any capital  expenditures needed are generally  replacement items and are funded
out of cash from  operation or  replacement  reserves,  if any. At the Henderson
Apartments,  funds will be necessary  during the selling period for improvements
and repairs to common areas, individual unit upgrades, marketing, selling costs,
and fees. During 1995 and 1994, these expenses were  approximately  $416,000 and
$752,000, respectively and were funded by sales proceeds. It is anticipated that
any  additional  funds  needed will be available  from the proceeds  from sales.
Other than the above,  the  Registrant  is not aware of any factors  which would
cause  historical  capital  expenditures  levels not to be indicative of capital
requirements in the future and  accordingly,  does not believe that it will have
to commit material resources to capital investments for the foreseeable future

                         Statement of Cash Flows

                         Net cash (used in)  provided  by  operating  activities
amounted to ($9,139) in 1995  compared to $178,996 in 1994 and $120,860 in 1993.
The decrease  from 1994 to 1995 and the increase from 1993 to 1994 is mainly due
to the  sale of  Units at the  Henderson  partially  offset  by an  increase  in
deferred income. The decrease from the sales is due to a decrease in the gain on
the sales and an overall  decrease  in  operating  activities.  The  increase in
deferred income is due to insurance  proceeds received but not expended relating
to flood damage at the Henderson.

                         Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities was
($4,423)  in 1995  compared  to  $306,800  in 1994 and  ($59,361)  in 1993.  The
decrease  from 1994 to 1995 and the increase  from 1993 to 1994 is mainly due to
the  sale  of  Units  and  capital   expenditures  at  the  Henderson.   Capital
expenditures  increased  from 1993 to 1994 and decreased from 1994 to 1995 while
the sales proceeds  decreased  from 1994 to 1995 due to higher costs  associated
with the sales.

                         Net cash used in financing  activities  was $291,206 in
1995  compared to $0 in 1994 and $8,000 in 1993.  The increase from 1994 to 1995
and the decrease from 1993 to 1994 is due to the cash  distributions made by the
Registrant in 1995 and 1993. In 1993, in  anticipation of a distribution to both
the limited and  General  Partner,  the General  Partner  received  $8,000.  The
distribution was delayed until 1995. At that time the limited partners  received
a distribution in the amount of $269,286 while the General Partner  received its
portion less the $8,000 previously received.

                         Results of Operations

                         During 1995, Registrant incurred a net loss of $119,070
($13.03 per limited partnership unit) compared to income of $528,832 ($63.18 per
limited  partnership  unit) in 1994 and a net loss of $71,000 ($7.72 per limited
partnership  unit) in 1993.  Included  in the loss for 1995 is a gain of $33,305
due to the sale of Units at the Henderson.  Included in income in 1994 is a gain
of  $652,000  due to the sale of  Units at the  Henderson.  In March  1995,  the
Registrant  distributed  approximately  $277,000  to the  limited  partners  and
General Partner.

                         Rental  income  decreased  from  $692,195  in  1993  to
$607,399  in 1994 to  $393,751 in 1995.  The  decrease  from 1994 to 1995 is the
result of a decrease  in rental  income at  Henderson  due to the sale of Units,
partially  offset  by an  increase  at  one of the  other  properties  due to an
increase in average occupancy. There was also a decrease in average occupancy at
the  Henderson in the units not sold, as they are being  prepared for sale.  The
decrease  from 1993 to 1994 is the  result  of a  decrease  in rental  income at
Henderson  due to the sale of Units,  partially  offset by an increase in rental
income at Brass Works due to an increase from 1994 to 1995 in average  occupancy
(78% to 88%).

                         Interest  income  increased  from  $3,787  in  1993  to
$11,907  in 1994 to  $125,505  in 1995.  The  increase  from 1994 to 1995 is the
result of a combination  of an increase in interest  earned on deposits due to a
higher  average  cash  balance  and an  increase  in  interest  earned  on notes
receivable.  The increase from 1993 to 1994 is the result of an interest  earned
on the notes receivable in connection with the sale of Units at the Henderson.

                         Rental  operations  expense  increased from $371,715 in
1993 to $403,438 in 1994 to and decreased to $385,284 in 1995. The decrease from
1994 to 1995 is the result of an increase in marketing expenses at Henderson due
to the sales of Units and an increase in condominium fees partially offset by an
overall decrease in operating  expenses.  In addition,  commissions  expense and
wages and wages and salaries at Locke Mill.  The  increase  from 1993 to 1994 is
due to condominium  fees expense at the Henderson which was  condominiumized  in
1994,  and an  increase  in  rental  commissions  expense  at  one of the  other
properties  due to a higher  turnover of units,  partially  offset by an overall
decrease in  operating  expenses  at all of the  properties  due to  operational
efficiencies achieved at the properties.

                         General  and  administrative  expenses  decreased  from
$128,981 in 1993 to $108,000 in 1994 and remained constant to $108,000 in 1995.

                         Depreciation  and amortization  expense  decreased from
$266,350 in 1993 to $231,677 in 1994 to $178,347 in 1995. The decrease from 1994
to 1995 and from 1993 to 1994 is due to the sale of Units at Henderson resulting
in a lower balance on which depreciation is calculated.

                         In  1995,  income  of  $3,000  was  recognized  at  the
Registrant's three properties  compared to income of $666,000 in 1994 and income
of $71,000 in 1993. Included in income in 1995 and 1994 is a gain of $33,000 and
$652,000,  respectively, due to the sale of Units at the Henderson. A discussion
of property operations/activities follows:

                         In 1995, Registrant recognized income of $24,000 at The
Henderson  Riverfront  Apartments  including  depreciation  expense  of  $89,000
compared to income of $689,000,  including  depreciation  expense of $142,000 in
1994 and income of $110,000 including  depreciation expense of $173,000 in 1993.
Included in income in 1995 is an  extraordinary  gain of $33,000  related to the
sale of Units. In 1995, the Henderson incurred a net loss of $9,000 exclusive of
the gain related to the sale of Units. Overall,  exclusive of the gain resulting
from the sale of Units,  the income  decrease  from 1994 to 1995 resulted from a
decrease in rental income and the related operating  expenses due to the sale of
Units.  The loss was  partially  offset by an  increase  in  marketing  expenses
related to the sale of Units and an increase in condominium fees. There was also
a  decrease  in  average  occupancy  in the units  not  sold,  as they are being
prepared for sale. Included in income in 1994 is $652,000 of gain related to the
sale of Units. Overall income,  exclusive of the gain resulting from the sale of
Units,  decreased  from 1993 to 1994,  due to a decrease in rental income due to
the sale of Units and the  payment  of  monthly  condominium  fees for the Units
still owned by CMGP which was condominiumized in 1994.

                         In 1995 Registrant incurred a loss of $22,000 including
$48,000  in  depreciation  expense  at the Brass  Works,  compared  to a loss of
$30,000  including $48,000  depreciation  expense in 1994 and a loss of $41,000,
including $51,000 of depreciation  expense in 1993. The decreased loss from 1994
to 1995  relates  to an  increase  in rental  income  due to an  average  higher
occupancy at the property. The decreased loss from 1993 to 1994 is the result of
an  increase in rental  income due to higher  occupancy  experienced,  partially
offset by an increase  in  commissions  expense  which  directly  relates to the
increase in occupancy.  Registrant  anticipates  that the property's  results of
operations for 1996 will be similar to those experienced during 1995.

                         In 1995,  Registrant  recognized  income  of  $1,000 at
Locke Mill Plaza including $26,000 of depreciation  expense,  compared to income
of $7,000  including  $26,000  of  depreciation  expense  in 1994 and  income of
$2,000,  including  $26,000 of  depreciation  expense in 1993.  The  decrease in
income from 1994 to 1995 is the result of an increase in commissions expense and
wages and salaries.  The increases are due to the change in management companies
at the  property.  The  increase in income from 1993 to 1994 is the result of an
increase in rental income due to higher  average rents  combined with a decrease
in certain operating  expenses due to operational  efficiencies  achieved at the
property.  Registrant expects that the property's results of operations for 1996
will be similar to those experienced during 1995.

                          Independent Auditor's Report



To the Partners of
Diversified Historic Investors IV

We have audited the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets of  Diversified
Historic Investors IV (a Pennsylvania  Limited  Partnership) and subsidiaries as
of  December  31,  1995 and  1994 and the  related  consolidated  statements  of
operations,  changes in  partners'  equity  and cash  flows for the years  ended
December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993. These  consolidated  financial  statements are
the  responsibility of the Partnership's  management.  Our  responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable  assurance about whether the  consolidated  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,  the consolidated  financial statements referred to in the first
paragraph present fairly, in all material  respects,  the financial  position of
Diversified  Historic  Investors  IV as of December  31, 1995 and 1994,  and the
results of their  operations  and their cash flows for the years ended  December
31, 1995,  1994 and 1993,  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles.

Our  audits  were  made for the  purpose  of  forming  an  opinion  on the basic
financial  statements  taken  as a  whole.  The  Schedule  of  Real  Estate  and
Accumulated  Depreciation on page 24 is presented for the purposes of additional
analysis  and is not a required  part of the basic  financial  statements.  Such
information has been subjected to the auditing  procedures  applied in the audit
of the basic financial  statements and, in our opinion,  is fairly stated in all
material  respects  in  relation to the basic  financial  statements  taken as a
whole.

                  DIVERSIFIED HISTORIC INVESTORS IV INCOME FUND
                  ---------------------------------------------
                             (a limited partnership)

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                   ------------------------------------------

NOTE A - ORGANIZATION

Diversified  Historic  Investors  IV (the  "Partnership")  was formed in January
1987, with Dover Historic Advisors III (a general partnership whose partners are
Mr.  Gerald  Katzoff  and DHP,  Inc.,) as the  General  Partner  and DHP,  Inc.,
(formerly Dover Historic  Properties,  Inc.,) as the limited  partner.  Upon the
admittance of additional limited partners, the initial limited partner withdrew.

The Partnership was formed to acquire,  rehabilitate, and manage real properties
which are certified historic  structures as defined in the Internal Revenue Code
(the "Code"), or which were eligible for designation as such,  utilizing the net
proceeds  from  the  sale of  limited  partnership  units.  Any  rehabilitations
undertaken by the Partnership  were done with a view to obtaining  certification
of expenditures therefor as "qualified  rehabilitation  expenditures" as defined
in the Code.

NOTE B - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the significant  accounting  policies  consistently  applied in the
preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows:

1.       Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements of the Partnership include
the  accounts  of one  subsidiary  partnership  (the  "Venture"),  in which  the
Partnership  has  a  controlling  interest,   with  appropriate  elimination  of
inter-partnership  transactions and balances. These financial statements reflect
all adjustments  (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which, in the
opinion of the Partnership's General Partner, are necessary for a fair statement
of the results for the year.

2.       Costs of Issuance

Costs incurred in connection  with the offering and sale of limited  partnership
units were charged against partners' equity as incurred.

3.       Depreciation

Depreciation  is computed  using the  straight-line  method  over the  estimated
useful lives of the assets.  Buildings and  improvements are depreciated over 25
years and furniture and fixtures over five years.

                                      -17-

<PAGE>

4.       Net Loss Per Limited Partnership Unit

The net income  (loss) per  limited  partnership  unit is based on the  weighted
average  number of  limited  partnership  units  outstanding  during  the period
(8,285.7 in 1995, 1994, and 1993).

5.       Income Taxes

Federal  and  state  income  taxes  are  payable  by  the  individual  partners;
therefore,  no  provision  or  liability  for income  taxes is  reflected in the
financial statements.

6.       Cash and Cash Equivalents

The  Partnership  considers  all  highly  liquid  investments  purchased  with a
maturity of less than three months to be cash equivalents.

7.       Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Partnership to concentration
of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Partnership
maintains its cash and cash equivalents in financial institutions insured by the
Federal Deposit  Insurance  Corporation up to $100,000 per company.  At December
31, 1995, uninsured funds held at one institution approximate $348,000.

8.       Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes amounts held for tenant security deposits,  real estate
tax reserves and other cash restricted as to use.

9.       Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized when rental  payments are due on a straight-line  basis.
Rental payments received in advance are deferred until earned.

10.      Rental Properties

Rental  properties  are stated at cost. A provision  for  impairment of value is
recorded  when a decline in value of  property  is  determined  to be other than
temporary as a result of one or more of the following: (1) a property is offered
for sale at a price  below  its  current  carrying  value,  (2) a  property  has
significant  balloon  payments due within the  foreseeable  future for which the
Partnership  does not have the  resources to meet,  and  anticipates  it will be
unable to obtain replacement financing or debt modification  sufficient to allow

                                      -18-

<PAGE>

a  continued  hold of the  property  over a  reasonable  period  of time,  (3) a
property has been, and is expected to continue, generating significant operating
deficits  and the  Partnership  is unable or  unwilling  to sustain such deficit
results of operations,  and has been unable to, or anticipates it will be unable
to, obtain debt  modification,  financing or  refinancing  sufficient to allow a
continued  hold of the  property  for a  reasonable  period  of time  or,  (4) a
property's value has declined based on management's expectations with respect to
projected future operational cash flows and prevailing economic  conditions.  An
impairment loss is indicated when the  undiscounted sum of estimated future cash
flows  from an  asset,  including  estimated  sales  proceeds,  and  assuming  a
reasonable  period of ownership up to 5 years,  is less than the carrying amount
of the asset.  The  impairment  loss is measured as the  difference  between the
estimated fair value and the carrying amount of the asset. In the absence of the
above circumstances, properties and improvements are stated at cost. An analysis
is done on an annual basis at December 31, 1995.

11.      New Accounting Pronouncement

Effective  January 1, 1995, the Partnership  adopted 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."
There was no cumulative effect of the adoption of SFAS No. 121.

12.      Notes Receivable

The notes receivable are mortgage notes arising from seller - provided financing
on the  Units  sold  at  one of the  Partnership's  properties.  The  notes  are
collateralized  by the condominium units and bear interest at rates ranging from
6 1/2% to 8 1/4%.  The notes consist of two types, a 30-year fixed rate mortgage
and a 7/23 loan.  The interest  rate on the 7/23 loan during the initial  7-year
term will be fixed. Interest after the 7th anniversary of the loan will be reset
at 250 basis  points in excess of the 10-year  Treasury  Note as reported in the
Wall Street  Journal for the next business day  immediately  preceding  such 7th
anniversary, rounded upward to the next highest 1/8% of 1%, with a cap of 13.5%.
Interest and principal are due monthly and all principal payments are based on a
30-year amortization schedule. Interest income is recognized as interest becomes
due.

NOTE C - PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

The  Significant  terms  of  the  amended  and  restated  Agreement  of  Limited
Partnership  (the  "Agreement"),  as they  relate to the  financial  statements,
follow:

The  Agreement  provides  that  beginning  with  the  date of the  admission  of
subscribers as limited  partners,  all  distributable  cash from  operations (as
defined) will be distributed 90% to the limited  partners and 10% to the General
Partner.  In 1993, in  anticipation  of a  distribution  to both the limited and
General  Partner,  the General Partner  received  $8,000.  The  distribution was
delayed until 1995. At that time the limited partners received a distribution in
the amount of $269,286 while the General Partner received their portion less the
$8,000 previously received.

All  distributable  cash  from  sales  or  dispositions  (as  defined)  will  be
distributed to the limited partners up to their original  capital  contributions
plus an amount equal to six percent of their original capital  contributions per

                                      -19-

<PAGE>

annum on a cumulative  basis,  less the sum of all prior  distributions to them;
thereafter,  after  receipt  by the  general  partner or its  affiliates  of any
accrued but unpaid  real  estate  brokerage  commissions,  the  balance  will be
distributed 15% to the general partner and 85% to the limited partners.

Net income or loss from  operations of the  Partnership is allocated one percent
to the general partner and 99% to the limited partners.

Pursuant to certain agreements,  the developer of one property,  and the partner
in the Venture, are entitled to share in the following:

         a.       46% of net cash flow from  operations  after the  Partnership
                  receives its priority distribution (as defined).

         b.       25% of  the  net  proceeds  (as  defined)  from  the  sale  or
                  refinancing  of  the  property.  The Partnership  is  entitled
                  to  a  priority  distribution  of such  proceeds prior to  any
                  payment to the developer.

NOTE D - ACQUISITIONS

The Partnership  acquired two properties and one general partnership interest in
the  Venture  during the period  from May 1987 to November  1988,  as  discussed
below.

In May 1987,  the  Partnership  purchased  a three  story  building  located  in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania consisting of 12 apartment units. The cost to acquire
and rehabilitate this property was approximately $1,200,000.

In July 1987,  the  Partnership  was  admitted,  with a 95% general  partnership
interest, to a Pennsylvania general partnership which owns a building located in
New Orleans,  Louisiana consisting of 61 apartment units, for cash contributions
of $4,620,000.

In November 1988, the Partnership purchased a building located in North Concord,
North Carolina, consisting of 10 condominium units, for $665,000.

NOTE  E - TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

The  following  is a  summary  of  transactions  with  related  parties  of  the
Partnership and the General Partner:

         Historic  Restoration,   Inc.  ("HRI"),  the  Partnership's  co-general
         partner in Commerce Mall General Partnership  ("CMGP"), is to be paid a
         10% conversion fee (the "Conversion Fee") on the sale of any Unit at or
         above the agreed-upon sales price. Such fee is payable upon the closing
         of the sale of each Unit,  provided  that the  Conversion  Fee from the
         sale of the first 30 Units shall be deferred and paid as follows:

                                      -20-

<PAGE>

                  (i)   $125,000 at the closing of the 31st unit

                  (ii) the remaining portion ("the Remainder") at the rate of 5%
                  of the  Remainder  at the  closing  of the sale of each of the
                  42nd through 61st Units

         In October 1995,  the 31st unit was sold and the $125,000 was earned by
         HRI of which $100,000 has been paid to HRI. The Remainder, amounting to
         $240,468  related  to the sale of the  first 31  units is  included  in
         restricted cash. The conversion fees from the sales of units 31, 32 and
         33 in the amount of $34,025 are included in accounts  payable - related
         party as of  December  31,  1995 along with  $25,000  from the first 31
         units which has not yet been paid to HRI. In addition, HRI will be paid
         a selling  commission  equal to 3.5% of the selling price of each Unit.
         Commissions  paid to HRI during 1994 and 1995 were $73,417 and $49,499,
         respectively.

NOTE F - SALE OF UNITS AT HENDERSON

During 1994,  CMGP entered into agreements  converting the Henderson  apartments
into  condominiums  and began  offering the Units for sale.  The Units are being
marketed  and  sold  by an  affiliate  of the  Registrant's  co-general  partner
("HRI").  The  asking  prices of the  units  range  from  $72,000  to  $135,000,
depending on size, configuration and location within the building. Funds will be
necessary  during the  selling  period for  improvements  and  repairs to common
areas, individual unit upgrades, marketing, selling costs, and fees. During 1995
and 1994, these expenses were approximately $416,000 and $752,000,  respectively
and were funded by sales proceeds.  It is anticipated  that any additional funds
needed will be available from the proceeds from sales.

CMGP has provided  financing for a large percentage of the units sold. All loans
require a minimum 10% down payment,  and all purchasers  must be qualified by an
independent  mortgage  brokerage  company,  using FNMA  guidelines  (see Note B,
paragraph 12 Notes Receivable.  As of December 31, 1995, 33 of the 61 Units have
been sold. The Units sold ranged in price from $71,250 to $127,065. Of the Units
sold,  24 of the 33  sellers  opted  for  the  seller  provided  financing.  The
Partnership  recognized  a gain  of  $33,305  and  $652,641  in 1995  and  1994,
respectively, based on the selling price less the original cost of the unit plus
any improvements, selling costs and fees.
