                        (A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP)

                     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                      SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 AND 1997

                              (UNAUDITED)

GENERAL

     Readers of this quarterly report should refer to the Partnership's
audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997
which are included in the Partnership's 1997 Annual Report, as certain
footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in
such audited financial statements have been omitted from this report. 
Capitalized terms used herein, but not defined, have the same meanings as
used in such Annual Report.

     The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP
requires the Partnership to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported or disclosed amount of 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.

TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

     The Partnership, pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, is permitted
to engage in various transactions involving the Corporate General Partner
and its affiliates including the reimbursement for salaries and salary-
related expenses of its employees, certain of its officers, and other
direct expenses relating to the administration of the Partnership and the
operation of the Partnership's investments.  Fees, commissions and other
expenses required to be paid by the Partnership to the General Partners and
their affiliates as of September 30, 1998 and for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 and 1997 were as follows:

                                                          Unpaid at

                                  =======     =======       ======    

     According to the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the General
Partners have deferred payment of their distributions of net cash flow from
the Partnership.  As the Limited Partners will receive significantly less
than their original investment, approximately $306,000 of cash otherwise
distributable to the General Partners, to the extent not needed for other
Partnership obligations, will be paid to the Limited Partners.

     All amounts currently payable to the General Partners and their
affiliates do not bear interest and are expected to be paid in 1998.

FASHION SQUARE SHOPPING CENTER

     The Partnership sold the Fashion Square Shopping Center on
December 30, 1997.  The sale resulted in no significant gain or loss to the
Partnership for financial reporting purposes, primarily as a result of
value impairment provisions totaling $4,100,000 recorded by the Partnership
in 1995 and 1997.  In addition, the Partnership recognized a loss on sale
of approximately $3,919,000 for Federal income tax reporting purposes in
1997.

     In connection with the sale of this property, as is customary in such
transactions, the Partnership agreed to certain representations and
warranties, with a stipulated survival period which expired, with no
liability to the Partnership, on May 15, 1998.

     Based upon local market conditions and uncertainty concerning the
ability to recover the carrying value of the property through a proposed
sale, the Partnership, as a matter of prudent accounting practice, recorded
a provision for value impairment of $600,000 for this property at
September 30, 1997.  Such provision was recorded to reflect the estimated
fair value, less costs to sell as applicable, of the property.

     The property was classified as held for sale or disposition as of
December 31, 1996 and, therefore, was not subject to continued
depreciation.

     The shopping center was managed by an affiliate of the Corporate
General Partner for a fee calculated at 4% of the gross income (as defined)
of the property.

     A former tenant at the Fashion Square Shopping Center, Bruegger's
Bagels, defaulted on its lease obligations in June 1997.  The Partnership
filed a lawsuit in July 1997 to protect its legal rights under the lease
for damages resulting from non-payment of rent and other charges.  The
Partnership has reached an agreement in principle with this tenant
regarding a financial settlement payable to the Partnership, subject to
final documentation.  However, there can be no assurance as to the exact
amount of the settlement which will ultimately be reached.

ADJUSTMENTS

     In the opinion of the Corporate General Partner, all adjustments
(consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair
presentation have been made to the accompanying figures as of September 30,
1998 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997.

PART I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

     Reference is made to the notes to the accompanying financial
statements for additional information concerning certain of the
Partnership's investments.

     The Partnership had been made aware that in early 1998 an unaffiliated
third party made unsolicited tender offers to some of the Holders of
Interests.  These offers each sought to purchase up to 4.9% of the
Interests in the Partnership for $40 per Interest.  These offers both
expired in the latter part of February 1998 (with no Interests being
purchased).  The Partnership recommended against acceptance of these offers
on the basis that, among other things, the offer prices were inadequate.

     The Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of approximately
$1,240,000 at September 30, 1998.  As the Partnership's last remaining real
estate investment was sold in December 1997, the remaining funds have been
held to pay for the Partnership's remaining expenses and liabilities.  The
remaining amounts will be distributed in December 1998 to the Limited
Partners upon liquidation of the Partnership pursuant to the provisions of
the Partnership Agreement.  Distributions to the General Partners have been
deferred and will not be paid due to the subordination requirements of the
Partnership Agreement as discussed in the Notes.

     A former tenant at the Fashion Square Shopping Center, Bruegger's
Bagels, defaulted on its lease obligations in June 1997.  The Partnership
filed a lawsuit in July 1997 to protect its legal rights under the lease
for damages resulting from non-payment of rent and other charges.  The
Partnership has reached an agreement in principle with this tenant
regarding a financial settlement payable to the Partnership, subject to
final documentation.  However, there can be no assurance as to the exact
amount of the settlement which will ultimately be reached.

     The affairs of the Partnership are expected to be wound up in late
1998 as described above, barring unforeseen economic developments. 
However, the Partnership's goal of capital appreciation will not be
achieved, as the Limited Partners will receive significantly less than
their original investment.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The decrease in cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 1998 as
compared to December 31, 1997 is due primarily to the distributions of
approximately $2,139,000 ($45.00 per Interest) made to the Limited Partners
in February 1998, which represented nearly all of the sale proceeds from
the December 1997 sale of the Fashion Square Shopping Center.  The General
Partners will not receive their share of any distributions, as discussed
above.

     The decrease in rental income, property operating expenses and
mortgage and other interest for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1998 as compared to the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1997 is due primarily to the December 1997 sale of the
Fashion Square Shopping Center.

     The increase in fees for professional services for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the nine months ended September 30,
1997 is due primarily to legal fees incurred in 1998 in connection with the
Partnership's suit against a former tenant at the Fashion Square Shopping
Center, as discussed above.

     The Partnership recorded a $600,000 provision for value impairment for
the Fashion Square Shopping Center at September 30, 1997 due to the
uncertainty of recovering the carrying value of the property through a
proposed sale.
