THE OFFER AND WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS WILL EXPIRE AT 12:00 MIDNIGHT,  PACIFIC STANDARD
TIME, ON AUGUST 25, 1997, UNLESS THE OFFER IS EXTENDED.

         JDF and Associates,  LLC, Previously Owned Partnerships Income Fund II,
L.P.,  Specified  Income Fund,  L.P.,  MacKenzie  Patterson  Special Fund, L.P.,
MacKenzie  Fund VI, A  California  Limited  Partnership,  Steven Gold and Moraga
Gold, LLC (together the "Purchasers") hereby seek to acquire limited partnership
interests (the "Units") in Medical Income Properties 2A Limited  Partnership,  a
Louisiana  limited  partnership  (the  "Partnership").  The  Purchasers  are not
affiliated with the Partnership. The Purchasers hereby offer to purchase any and
all of the outstanding Units at a purchase price equal to $29 per Unit, less the
amount of any  distributions  declared or made with respect to the Units between
July 18,  1997 (the  "Offer  Date") and August 25,  1997,  or such other date to
which this Offer may be  extended  (the  "Expiration  Date"),  in cash,  without
interest,  upon the terms and subject to the  conditions set forth in this Offer
to Purchase (the "Offer to Purchase") and in the related Letter of  Transmittal,
as each  may be  supplemented  or  amended  from  time to time  (which  together
constitute the "Offer").  A total of 18,639 of the Units were  outstanding as of
March 12, 1997.

         Holders of Units  ("Unitholders")  are urged to consider the  following
factors:

         -        Unitholders   who  tender   their   Units  will  give  up  the
                  opportunity to participate in any future  distributions by the
                  Partnership,  and the  purchase  price per Unit  payable  to a
                  tendering  Unitholder by the Purchasers is less than the total
                  cash  which  the  General   Partner  has  estimated   will  be
                  distributed to the Unitholder with respect to the Unit through
                  July 2000, the scheduled final distribution date.

         -        The Purchasers  are making the Offer for  investment  purposes
                  and with the  intention of making a profit from the  ownership
                  of the Units.  In  establishing  the purchase price of $29 per
                  Unit,  the  Purchasers  was  motivated to establish the lowest
                  price which might be acceptable to Unitholders consistent with
                  the Purchasers' objectives.



<PAGE>



         -        As a result of consummation  of the Offer,  the Purchasers may
                  be in a position to  influence  any  Partnership  decisions on
                  which Unitholders may vote. The Purchasers will vote the Units
                  acquired  in the  Offer in their  own  interest,  which may be
                  different  from  or in  conflict  with  the  interests  of the
                  remaining Unitholders. See Section 7 below.

THE OFFER TO PURCHASE IS NOT CONDITIONED  UPON ANY MINIMUM NUMBER OF UNITS BEING
TENDERED,  AND THERE WILL BE NO PRORATION OF TENDERED  UNITS.  ANY AND ALL UNITS
PROPERLY  TENDERED  WILL BE ACCEPTED BY THE  PURCHASERS,  SUBJECT TO THE EXPRESS
CONDITIONS OF THE OFFER.  A UNITHOLDER MAY TENDER ANY OR ALL UNITS OWNED BY SUCH
UNITHOLDER.

         The Purchasers  expressly  reserve the right, in their sole discretion,
at any time and from time to time, (i) to extend the period of time during which
the Offer is open and thereby delay  acceptance  for payment of, and the payment
for, any Units, (ii) to terminate the Offer and not accept for payment any Units
not  theretofore  accepted for payment or paid for, (iii) upon the occurrence of
any of the  conditions  specified  in Section 13 of this Offer to  Purchase,  to
delay the acceptance  for payment of, or payment for, any Units not  theretofore
accepted  for payment or paid for,  and (iv) to amend the Offer in any  respect.
Notice  of any  such  extension,  termination  or  amendment  will  promptly  be
disseminated  to  Unitholders  in  a  manner   reasonably   designed  to  inform
Unitholders of such change in compliance with Rule 14d-4(c) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the  "Exchange  Act").  In the case of an extension of the
Offer, such extension will be followed by a press release or public announcement
which will be issued no later than 9:00 a.m., Eastern Standard Time, on the next
business  day after the  scheduled  Expiration  Date,  in  accordance  with Rule
14e-1(d) under the Exchange Act.

To the Holders of Units of Limited Partnership Interest
of Medical Income Properties 2A Limited Partnership

                                  INTRODUCTION

         The  Purchasers  hereby  offer to  purchase  any and all of the Limited
Partnership  Interests  ("Units") of the  Partnership at a purchase price of $29
per Unit, less the amount of any distributions  declared or paid with respect to
the Units between the Offer Date and the  Expiration  Date ("Offer  Price"),  in
cash,  without interest,  upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
in the Offer.  Unitholders  who tender  their Units will not be obligated to pay
any  Partnership  transfer  fees, or any other fees,  expenses or commissions in
connection with the tender of Units.  The Purchasers will pay all such costs and
all  charges and  expenses of the  Depositary,  an  affiliate  of certain of the
Purchasers, as depositary in connection with the Offer.

         For further information concerning the Purchasers, see Section 11 below
and Schedule I.

         None of the Purchasers nor the Depositary is affiliated with any of the
general partners of the Partnership or any affiliate of such persons.

         Unitholders are urged to consider the following factors:

         -        Unitholders   who  tender   their   Units  will  give  up  the
                  opportunity to participate in any future  distributions by the
                  Partnership,  and the  purchase  price per Unit  payable  to a
                  tendering  Unitholder by the Purchasers is less than the total
                  cash  which  the  General   Partner  has  estimated   will  be
                  distributed to the Unitholder with respect to the Unit through
                  July 2000, the scheduled final distribution date.

         -        The Purchasers  are making the Offer for  investment  purposes
                  and with the  intention of making a profit from the  ownership
                  of the Units.  In  establishing  the purchase price of $29 per
                  Unit,  the  Purchasers  was  motivated to establish the lowest
                  price which might be acceptable to Unitholders consistent with
                  the Purchasers' objectives.

         -        As a result of consummation  of the Offer,  the Purchasers may
                  be in a position to  influence  any  Partnership  decisions on
                  which Unitholders may vote. The Purchasers will vote the Units
                  acquired  in the  Offer in their  own  interest,  which may be
                  different  from  or in  conflict  with  the  interests  of the
                  remaining Unitholders. See Section 7 below.

         The  Partnership  has  sold  all  of its  properties  and  has  already
distributed a significant  portion of the sale proceeds.  The Partnership's sole
remaining  material  assets are cash and  receivables  and the  Partnership  has
ceased any active  business  operations.  The  Managing  General  Partner of the
Partnership,  Qualicorp Management,  Inc. (the "General Partner"), has disclosed
that it expects to make a final  liquidating  distribution to Unitholders in the
approximate amount of $92 per Unit by July 2000. The amount of such distribution
will be subject to reduction in the event the  Partnership  incurs  greater than
anticipated  administrative  and  other  expenses  and to the  extent  any  such
Partnership  funds are  required  to satisfy  claims of  indemnity  against  the
Partnership prior to the expiration date for the  Partnership's  representations
and warranties to the buyer of its properties.



                                        5


<PAGE>



         Unitholders  will  recognize  in the 1997 tax year the tax effects from
the liquidation by the Partnership of its real property  interests,  but, unless
they sell  their  Units  earlier,  Unitholders  will not  realize  the final tax
effects of the  liquidation  of their Units until the final  liquidation  of the
Partnership  in the year 2000.  The  Purchasers  believe,  based on  information
disclosed by the Partnership,  that the average Unitholder may expect to realize
a capital loss on an investment in the Units upon final liquidation. However, as
a  result  of  the  timing  of  the   Partnership's   sales  of  properties  and
distributions, the average limited partner will realize a tax liability from the
sale of the properties in 1997, but will not be able to recognize any offsetting
capital loss until 2000.

         The  Purchasers  engaged an  independent  accounting  firm to perform a
hypothetical  analysis  of the  after  tax  results  of a sale of  Units  to the
Purchasers compared to a Unitholder  retaining the Units through the anticipated
liquidation date, and a summary of the analysis and the material  assumptions on
which it is based is set forth as Exhibit A to this  Offer.  Federal  income tax
consequences from the holding or sale of Units may be complex and will depend on
the individual status of each Unitholder. Unitholders are urged to consult their
own professional tax and financial  advisers to determine the potential  effects
of selling or holding their Units.  However,  based on the Purchasers' analysis,
the  Purchasers  believe that for many  Unitholders,  the after tax results of a
sale to the Purchasers would be substantially similar to holding the Units until
final  liquidation of the  Partnership.  A sale to the Purchasers would have the
added benefit of terminating the selling Unitholders' investment in the 1997 tax
year,  eliminating any filing of partnership  information returns on Form K-1 or
similar  complex  tax  reporting  for  subsequent  years,  and  eliminating  the
Unitholders'  risk that  distributions  may  ultimately be lower than  currently
projected by the General Partner.

         Furthermore,  in conversations  with principals of the Purchasers,  the
General Partner has stated that it will consider  resubmitting its request for a
"no action" letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission  permitting it to
cease public  reporting  under the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934. The General
Partner  stated that,  if the  Partnership  is  permitted  to  terminate  public
reporting, it intends generally to prohibit transfers of Units following the end
of 1997 due to the unavailability of current  information.  Accordingly,  future
opportunities to dispose of Units prior to liquidation may be even more limited.

         The  Offer  will  also  provide  Unitholders  with  an  opportunity  to
liquidate their investment  without the usual  transaction costs associated with
market sales.

         The Offer is not  conditioned  upon any  minimum  number of Units being
tendered.  See "Tender Offer - Section 13.  Conditions of the Offer" for certain
conditions of the Offer.  The Purchasers  expressly  reserve the right, in their
sole discretion and for any reason, to waive any or all of the conditions of the
Offer,  although  the  Purchasers  do not  presently  intend  to waive  any such
conditions.

Establishment of the Offer Price

         The  Purchasers  have set the  Offer  Price at $29 per  Unit,  less the
amount of any  distributions  declared or made with respect to the Units between
the  Offer  Date and  Expiration  Date.  In  determining  the Offer  Price,  the
Purchasers  assumed the  remaining  amount  projected to be  distributed  by the
Partnership,  discounted the  anticipated  distribution  for the period prior to
anticipated receipt of the distribution, and adjusted the estimated value of the
Units  based  on the  risk  of  potential  reduction  in the  amount  of  actual
distributions,  and for the limits on any potential increase in the amount which
may be  distributed.  Based on these factors,  the Purchasers  derived their own
estimate of the current value of

                                        6


<PAGE>



the potential  distributions with respect to the Units and determined their
Offer Price.

         The  Offer  Price  represents  the price at which  the  Purchasers  are
willing to purchase Units.  No independent  person has been retained to evaluate
or render any  opinion  with  respect to the  fairness of the Offer Price and no
representation  is made by the  Purchasers or any affiliate of the Purchasers as
to such  fairness.  Other  measures of the value of the Units may be relevant to
Unitholders.  Unitholders are urged to consider carefully all of the information
contained  herein  and  consult  with  their own  advisors,  tax,  financial  or
otherwise,  in  evaluating  the terms of the Offer  before  deciding  whether to
tender Units.

         During 1997, the Partnership  liquidated its properties,  ceased active
business  operations  and  distributed  the  bulk of its  liquidation  proceeds.
Accordingly,  the Purchasers  believe that secondary market prices for the Units
and prices  previously paid by affiliates of the Purchasers for Units before one
or more of these  events  occurred are not  material to a  determination  of the
adequacy or merits of the terms of the Purchasers' offer.

General Background Information

         Certain  information  contained in this Offer to Purchase which relates
to, or represents,  statements made by the  Partnership or the General  Partner,
has been derived from  information  provided in reports filed by the Partnership
with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission and from letters from the General
Partner to all Unitholders.

         According to publicly available  information,  a total of 18,639 of the
Units were outstanding as of March 12, 1997. The Purchasers and their affiliates
currently  beneficially own a total of 607 Units or  approximately  3.25% of the
outstanding Units (see "Certain Information Concerning the Purchasers" below).

         Tendering  Unitholders  will not be  obligated  to pay  transfer  fees,
brokerage  fees or  commissions  on the  sale  of the  Units  to the  Purchasers
pursuant to the Offer. The Purchasers will pay all charges and expenses incurred
in  connection  with the Offer.  The  Purchasers  desire to  purchase  all Units
tendered by each Unitholder.

         Concurrently  with this offer to purchase the Units, the Purchasers and
their affiliates are making similar offers to purchase the outstanding  Units of
two other limited  partnerships  managed by  affiliates of the General  Partner.
These other limited  partnerships are also affiliates of the  Partnership,  have
sold their  respective real properties and are liquidating and dissolving  under
substantially similar circumstances to those of the Partnership.

         If,  prior  to  the  Expiration  Date,  the  Purchasers   increase  the
consideration  offered to  Unitholders  pursuant  to the Offer,  such  increased
consideration will be paid with respect to all Units that are purchased pursuant
to the Offer,  whether or not such Units were tendered prior to such increase in
consideration.

         Unitholders   are  urged  to  read  this  Offer  to  Purchase  and  the
accompanying  Letter of Transmittal  carefully before deciding whether to tender
their Units.

                                  TENDER OFFER

         Section  1.  Terms of the  Offer.  Upon the  terms and  subject  to the
conditions  of the Offer,  the  Purchasers  will  accept for payment and pay for
Units validly  tendered on or prior to the Expiration  Date and not withdrawn in
accordance with Section 4 of this Offer to Purchase.  The term "Expiration Date"
shall mean 12:00 midnight, Pacific Standard Time, on August 25, 1997, unless and
until the Purchasers  shall have extended the period of time for which the Offer
is open,  in which event the term  "Expiration  Date" shall mean the latest time
and date on which the Offer, as so extended by the Purchasers, shall expire.

         The Offer is conditioned on  satisfaction  of certain  conditions.  See
Section 13, which sets forth in full the conditions of the Offer. The Purchasers
reserve the right (but shall not be obligated), in their sole discretion and for
any reason, to waive any or all of such conditions.  If, by the Expiration Date,
any or all of such conditions have not been satisfied or waived,  the Purchasers
reserve the right (but shall not be obligated) to (i) decline to purchase any of
the Units  tendered,  terminate  the  Offer and  return  all  tendered  Units to
tendering Unitholders, (ii) waive all the unsatisfied conditions and, subject to
complying with applicable rules and regulations of the Commission,  purchase all
Units  validly  tendered,  (iii)  extend the Offer and,  subject to the right of
Unitholders to withdraw Units until the Expiration  Date,  retain the Units that
have been tendered  during the period or periods for which the Offer is extended
or (iv) to amend the Offer.

         The Purchasers do not anticipate and have no reason to believe that any
condition or event will occur that would prevent the Purchasers  from purchasing
tendered Units as offered herein.

         Section 2. Acceptance for Payment and Payment for Units. Upon the terms
and subject to the conditions of the Offer (including,  if the Offer is extended
or  amended,  the terms and  conditions  of any  extension  or  amendment),  the
Purchasers will accept for payment, and will pay for, Units validly tendered and
not withdrawn in accordance with Section 4, as promptly as practicable following
the Expiration Date. In all cases,  payment for Units purchased  pursuant to the
Offer will be made only after  timely  receipt by the  Depositary  of a properly
completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile thereof) and any
other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal.

         For  purposes  of the  Offer,  the  Purchasers  shall be deemed to have
accepted for payment (and thereby purchased)  tendered Units when, as and if the
Purchasers  give oral or written  notice to the  Depositary  of the  Purchasers'
acceptance for payment of such Units  pursuant to the Offer.  Upon the terms and
subject to the conditions of the Offer,  payment for Units purchased pursuant to
the Offer  will in all cases be made by  deposit  of the  Offer  Price  with the
Depositary,  which  will  act as agent  for the  tendering  Unitholders  for the
purpose of receiving  payment from the  Purchasers and  transmitting  payment to
tendering Unitholders. Under no circumstances will interest be paid on the Offer
Price by reason of any delay in making such payment.

         If any tendered  Units are not purchased for any reason,  the Letter of
Transmittal  with  respect  to such Units not  purchased  will be of no force or
effect.  If, for any reason  whatsoever,  acceptance  for payment of, or payment
for, any Units  tendered  pursuant to the Offer is delayed or the Purchasers are
unable to accept for payment, purchase or pay for Units tendered pursuant to the
Offer,  then,  without prejudice to the Purchasers' rights under Section 13 (but
subject to compliance with Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act), the Depositary
may, nevertheless, on behalf of the Purchasers, retain tendered Units,

                                        8


<PAGE>



subject  to any  limitations  of  applicable  law,  and  such  Units  may not be
withdrawn  except to the extent that the tendering  Unitholders  are entitled to
withdrawal rights as described in Section 4.

         If, prior to the Expiration  Date,  the  Purchasers  shall increase the
consideration  offered to  Unitholders  pursuant  to the Offer,  such  increased
consideration  shall be paid for all Units accepted for payment  pursuant to the
Offer, whether or not such Units were tendered prior to such increase.

         Section 3. Procedures for Tendering Units.

         Valid Tender. For Units to be validly tendered pursuant to the Offer, a
properly  completed and duly executed  Letter of Transmittal (a copy of which is
enclosed  and printed on pink paper)  with any other  documents  required by the
Letter of  Transmittal  must be  received by the  Depositary  at its address set
forth on the back cover of this Offer to Purchase on or prior to the  Expiration
Date. A Unitholder may tender any or all Units owned by such Unitholder.

         In order for a tendering  Unitholder to participate in the Offer, Units
must be validly  tendered and not withdrawn prior to the Expiration  Date, which
is 12:00  midnight,  Pacific  Standard Time, on August 25, 1997, or such date to
which the Offer may be extended.

         The  method of  delivery  of the  Letter of  Transmittal  and all other
required  documents is at the option and risk of the  tendering  Unitholder  and
delivery will be deemed made only when actually received by the Depositary.

         Backup  Federal  Income  Tax  Withholding.   To  prevent  the  possible
application of 31% backup federal income tax withholding with respect to payment
of the Offer  Price for Units  purchased  pursuant  to the  Offer,  a  tendering
Unitholder must provide the Depositary with such  Unitholder's  correct taxpayer
identification  number and make certain  certifications  that such Unitholder is
not subject to backup federal income tax withholding.  Each tendering Unitholder
must   insert  in  the  Letter  of   Transmittal   the   Unitholder's   taxpayer
identification  number or social  security  number in the space  provided on the
front of the Letter of  Transmittal.  The Letter of Transmittal  also includes a
substitute Form W-9, which contains the  certifications  referred to above. (See
the Instructions to the Letter of Transmittal.)

     FIRPTA Withholding.  To prevent the withholding of federal income tax in an
amount equal to 10% of the sum of the Offer Price plus the amount of Partnership
liabilities  allocable to each Unit tendered,  each Unitholder must complete the
FIRPTA  Affidavit  included  in  the  Letter  of  Transmittal   certifying  such
Unitholder's taxpayer  identification number and address and that the Unitholder
is not a foreign person.  (See the Instructions to the Letter of Transmittal and
"Section 6. Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences.")

         Other  Requirements.  By executing a Letter of Transmittal as set forth
above,  a  tendering  Unitholder  irrevocably  appoints  the  designees  of  the
Purchasers as such Unitholder's  proxies,  in the manner set forth in the Letter
of Transmittal, each with full power of substitution, to the full extent of such
Unitholder's  rights with respect to the Units  tendered by such  Unitholder and
accepted for payment by the Purchasers. Such appointment will be effective when,
and only to the extent that, the Purchasers accept such Units for payment.  Upon
such  acceptance for payment,  all prior proxies given by such  Unitholder  with
respect  to  such  Units  will,  without  further  action,  be  revoked,  and no
subsequent  proxies  may be given  (and if given  will  not be  effective).  The
designees of the Purchasers  will,  with respect to such Units,  be empowered to
exercise all voting and other rights of such Unitholder as they in their

                                        9


<PAGE>



sole  discretion  may deem  proper at any  meeting  of  Unitholders,  by written
consent or  otherwise.  In  addition,  by executing a Letter of  Transmittal,  a
Unitholder  also assigns to the  Purchasers  all of the  Unitholder's  rights to
receive  distributions  from the  Partnership  with  respect to Units  which are
accepted  for payment  and  purchased  pursuant  to the Offer,  other than those
distributions  declared or paid during the period  commencing  on the Offer Date
and terminating on the Expiration Date.

         Determination of Validity;  Rejection of Units;  Waiver of Defects;  No
Obligation to Give Notice of Defects.  All  questions as to the validity,  form,
eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance for payment of any tender
of Units  pursuant to the procedures  described  above will be determined by the
Purchasers,  in their sole discretion,  which  determination  shall be final and
binding.  The Purchasers reserve the absolute right to reject any or all tenders
if not in proper form or if the  acceptance  of, or payment  for,  the  absolute
right to reject any or all  tenders if not in proper  form or if the  acceptance
of, or payment for, the Units  tendered  may, in the opinion of the  Purchasers'
counsel, be unlawful.  The Purchasers also reserve the right to waive any defect
or  irregularity  in any  tender  with  respect to any  particular  Units of any
particular  Unitholder,  and the  Purchasers'  interpretation  of the  terms and
conditions  of  the  Offer   (including  the  Letter  of  Transmittal   and  the
Instructions  thereto) will be final and binding.  Neither the  Purchasers,  the
Depositary,  nor any other person will be under any duty to give notification of
any  defects  or  irregularities  in the  tender of any Units or will  incur any
liability for failure to give any such notification.

         A tender of Units  pursuant to any of the  procedures  described  above
will  constitute a binding  agreement  between the tendering  Unitholder and the
Purchasers upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer,  including
the tendering Unitholder's  representation and warranty that (i) such Unitholder
owns the Units  being  tendered  within  the  meaning  of Rule  14e-4  under the
Exchange  Act and (ii) the tender of such Unit  complies  with Rule 14e-4.  Rule
14e-4 requires, in general, that a tendering security holder actually be able to
deliver the security subject to the tender offer, and is of concern particularly
to any Unitholders who have granted options to sell or purchase the Units,  hold
option  rights to acquire such  securities,  maintain  "short"  positions in the
Units  (i.e.,  have  borrowed  the  Units) or have  loaned  the Units to a short
seller. Because of the nature of limited partnership  interests,  the Purchasers
believe it is unlikely that any option trading or short selling  activity exists
with respect to the Units.  In any event, a Unitholder  will be deemed to tender
Units in  compliance  with Rule  14e-4 and the Offer if the holder is the record
owner of the Units and the holder (i) delivers  the Units  pursuant to the terms
of the Offer,  (ii)  causes  such  delivery to be made,  (iii)  guarantees  such
delivery,  (iv) causes a guaranty of such delivery, or (v) uses any other method
permitted in the Offer (such as facsimile delivery of the Transmittal Letter).

         Section 4.  Withdrawal  Rights.  Except as  otherwise  provided in this
Section 4, all tenders of Units pursuant to the Offer are irrevocable,  provided
that Units tendered  pursuant to the Offer may be withdrawn at any time prior to
the Expiration Date and, unless theretofore  accepted for payment as provided in
this Offer to Purchase,  may also be withdrawn at any time after  September  17,
1997 (or such later date as may apply in the event the Offer is extended).

         For  withdrawal  to be effective,  a written or facsimile  transmission
notice of withdrawal must be timely received by the Depositary at the address or
the facsimile  number set forth in the attached Letter of Transmittal.  Any such
notice of withdrawal  must specify the name of the person who tendered the Units
to be  withdrawn  and must be signed by the  person(s)  who signed the Letter of
Transmittal in the same manner as the Letter of Transmittal was signed.


                                       10


<PAGE>



         If purchase of, or payment  for,  Units is delayed for any reason or if
the  Purchasers  are unable to purchase  or pay for Units for any reason,  then,
without prejudice to the Purchasers' rights under the Offer,  tendered Units may
be  retained  by the  Depositary  on  behalf  of the  Purchasers  and may not be
withdrawn  except to the extent  that  tendering  Unitholders  are  entitled  to
withdrawal rights as set forth in this Section 4, subject to Rule 14e-1(c) under
the Exchange Act,  which  provides that no person who makes a tender offer shall
fail to pay the consideration  offered or return the securities  deposited by or
on behalf of security  holders  promptly after the  termination or withdrawal of
the tender offer.

         All questions as to the form and validity  (including  time of receipt)
of notices of withdrawal  will be determined  by the  Purchasers,  in their sole
discretion,  which  determination  shall  be  final  and  binding.  Neither  the
Purchasers,  the Depositary, nor any other person will be under any duty to give
notification  of any defects or  irregularities  in any notice of  withdrawal or
will incur any liability for failure to give any such notification.

         Any Units properly  withdrawn will be deemed not to be validly tendered
for  purposes of the Offer.  Withdrawn  Units may be  re-tendered,  however,  by
following  the  procedures  described  in  Section  3 at any  time  prior to the
Expiration Date.

         Section 5.  Extension of Tender  Period;  Termination;  Amendment.  The
Purchasers  expressly  reserve the right, in their sole discretion,  at any time
and from time to time,  (i) to extend the period of time during  which the Offer
is open and thereby  delay  acceptance  for payment of, and the payment for, any
Units by giving oral or written notice of such extension to the Depositary, (ii)
to  terminate  the Offer and not accept for  payment  any Units not  theretofore
accepted  for  payment or paid for,  by giving  oral or  written  notice of such
termination to the Depositary,  (iii) upon the occurrence or failure to occur of
any of the  conditions  specified  in Section  13, to delay the  acceptance  for
payment of, or payment  for,  any Units not  heretofore  accepted for payment or
paid for, by giving oral or written  notice of such  termination or delay to the
Depositary,  and (iv) to amend  the  Offer in any  respect  (including,  without
limitation,  by increasing or decreasing the consideration offered or the number
of  Units  being   sought  in  the  Offer  or  both  or  changing  the  type  of
consideration)  by  giving  oral or  written  notice  of such  amendment  to the
Depositary. Any extension, termination or amendment will be followed as promptly
as  practicable  by  public  announcement,  the  announcement  in the case of an
extension to be issued no later than 9:00 a.m.,  Eastern  Standard  Time, on the
next business day after the previously  scheduled Expiration Date, in accordance
with the public  announcement  requirement  of Rule 14d-4(c)  under the Exchange
Act.  Without limiting the manner in which the Purchasers may choose to make any
public  announcement,  except as  provided by  applicable  law  (including  Rule
14d-4(c)  under the Exchange  Act),  the  Purchasers  will have no obligation to
publish, advertise or otherwise communicate any such public announcement,  other
than by issuing a release to the Dow Jones News Service. The Purchasers may also
be required by applicable law to disseminate to Unitholders  certain information
concerning the extensions of the Offer and any material  changes in the terms of
the Offer.

         If the  Purchasers  extend the  Offer,  or if the  Purchasers  (whether
before or after its  acceptance  for  payment  of Units)  are  delayed  in their
payment  for Units or are unable to pay for Units  pursuant to the Offer for any
reason,  then,  without prejudice to the Purchasers' rights under the Offer, the
Depositary may retain tendered Units on behalf of the Purchasers, and such Units
may not be withdrawn except to the extent tendering  Unitholders are entitled to
withdrawal  rights as  described  in  Section  4.  However,  the  ability of the
Purchasers  to delay  payment for Units that the  Purchasers  have  accepted for
payment is limited by Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, which requires that the
Purchasers pay the consideration  offered or return the securities  deposited by
or on behalf of holders of securities promptly

                                       11


<PAGE>



after the termination or withdrawal of the Offer.

         If the Purchasers  make a material  change in the terms of the Offer or
the information concerning the Offer or waive a material condition of the Offer,
the Purchasers  will extend the Offer to the extent  required by Rules 14d-4(c),
14d-6(d) and 14e-1 under the Exchange  Act. The minimum  period  during which an
offer must remain open following a material  change in the terms of the offer or
information  concerning  the offer,  other than a change in price or a change in
percentage of securities  sought,  will depend upon the facts and circumstances,
including the relative  materiality  of the change in the terms or  information.
With respect to a change in price or a change in percentage of securities sought
(other than an increase of not more than 2% of the securities sought),  however,
a minimum ten business  day period is  generally  required to allow for adequate
dissemination  to security  holders and for investor  response.  As used in this
Offer to Purchase, "business day" means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or
a federal holiday, and consists of the time period from 12:01 a.m. through 12:00
midnight, Pacific Standard Time.

         Section 6. Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences.  THE FEDERAL INCOME
TAX DISCUSSION SET FORTH BELOW IS INCLUDED HEREIN FOR GENERAL  INFORMATION  ONLY
AND DOES NOT PURPORT TO ADDRESS ALL ASPECTS OF TAXATION  THAT MAY BE RELEVANT TO
A PARTICULAR  UNITHOLDER.  For  example,  this  discussion  does not address the
effect of any  applicable  foreign,  state,  local or other tax laws  other than
federal income tax laws. Certain Unitholders (including trusts, foreign persons,
tax-exempt  organizations or corporations subject to special rules, such as life
insurance  companies  or S  corporations)  may be subject  to special  rules not
discussed below.  This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the  "Code"),  existing  regulations,  court  decisions and Internal
Revenue Service ("IRS") rulings and other pronouncements. Set forth as Exhibit A
to this offer is an  analysis  comparing  hypothetical  after tax results for an
investor  selling  Units to the  Purchasers  and an  investor  holding the Units
through  liquidation  of the  Partnership.  The  analysis  was  prepared for the
Purchaser by an independent  public  accounting firm. EACH UNITHOLDER  TENDERING
UNITS SHOULD CONSULT SUCH  UNITHOLDER'S OWN TAX ADVISOR AS TO THE PARTICULAR TAX
CONSEQUENCES  TO  SUCH   UNITHOLDER  OF  ACCEPTING  THE  OFFER,   INCLUDING  THE
APPLICATION OF THE ALTERNATIVE  MINIMUM TAX AND FEDERAL,  FOREIGN,  STATE, LOCAL
AND OTHER TAX LAWS.

         The  following   discussion  is  based  on  the  assumption   that  the
Partnership  is treated as a partnership  for federal income tax purposes and is
not a "publicly traded partnership" as that term is defined in the Code.

         Gain or Loss. A taxable Unitholder will recognize a gain or loss on the
sale of such Unitholder's Units in an amount equal to the difference between (i)
the amount  realized by such  Unitholder on the sale and (ii) such  Unitholder's
adjusted tax basis in the Units sold. Gain would be included in the Unitholder's
taxable income and generally would  constitute  capital gain. If there is a loss
on the sale,  such loss generally  would  constitute  capital loss and, as such,
could be currently  deducted by a noncorporate  Unitholder to the extent of such
Unitholder's  capital gains from other investments plus $3,000. Any excess would
be carried forward.

         The adjusted  tax basis in the Units of a  Unitholder  will depend upon
individual  circumstances.  (See also "Partnership  Allocations in Year of Sale"
below.) Each  Unitholder who plans to tender  hereunder  should consult with the
Unitholder's own tax advisor as to the Unitholder's adjusted tax basis

                                       12


<PAGE>



in the Unitholder's Units and the resulting tax consequences of a sale.

         If any portion of the amount  realized by a Unitholder is  attributable
to  such  Unitholder's  share  of  "unrealized  receivables"  or  "substantially
appreciated  inventory  items" as defined in Code section  751, a  corresponding
portion of such  Unitholder's  gain or loss will be treated as ordinary  gain or
loss.  It is possible  that the basis  allocation  rules of Code Section 751 may
result in a Unitholder's recognizing ordinary income with respect to the portion
of the  Unitholder's  amount realized on the sale of a Unit that is attributable
to such items while  recognizing a capital loss with respect to the remainder of
the Unit.

         A tax-exempt  Unitholder (other than an organization  described in Code
Section  501(c)(7)  (social  club),   501(c)(9)   (voluntary   employee  benefit
association),   501(c)(17)   (supplementary   unemployment  benefit  trust),  or
501(c)(20)  (qualified  group legal  services  plan))  should not be required to
recognize unrelated trade or business income upon the sale of its Units pursuant
to the  Offer,  assuming  that  such  Unitholder  does not  hold its  Units as a
"dealer" and has not acquired such Units with debt financed proceeds.

         Partnership Allocations in Year of Sale. A tendering Unitholder will be
allocated  the  Unitholder's  pro rata  share of the annual  taxable  income and
losses  from the  Partnership  with  respect  to the Units  sold for the  period
through  the date of sale,  even  though  such  Unitholder  will  assign  to the
Purchasers  their rights to receive certain cash  distributions  with respect to
such Units.  Such allocations and any Partnership  distributions for such period
would  affect a  Unitholder's  adjusted  tax basis in the  tendered  Units  and,
therefore,  the amount of gain or loss  recognized by the Unitholder on the sale
of the Units.

         Foreign Unitholders. Gain realized by a foreign Unitholder on a sale of
a Unit  pursuant  to the Offer  will be subject to  federal  income  tax.  Under
Section 1445 of the Code,  the  transferee of a  partnership  interest held by a
foreign  person is generally  required to deduct and withhold a tax equal to 10%
of the amount realized on the  disposition.  The Purchasers will withhold 10% of
the amount realized by a tendering Unitholder from the purchase price payment to
be made to such Unitholder  unless the Unitholder  properly  completes and signs
the FIRPTA  Affidavit  included as part of the Letter of Transmittal  certifying
the  Unitholder's  TIN,  that such  Unitholder  is not a foreign  person and the
Unitholder's  address.  Amounts  withheld would be creditable  against a foreign
Unitholder's  federal income tax liability and, if in excess  thereof,  a refund
could be obtained from the Internal  Revenue Service by filing a U.S. income tax
return.

         Section 7. Effects of the Offer.

         Limitations  on  Resales.  The  Purchasers  do  not  believe  that  the
provisions  of the  Partnership  Agreement  should  restrict  transfers of Units
pursuant to this Offer.

         Effect on Trading Market. There is no established public trading market
for  the  Units  and,  based  on the  current  status  of the  Partnership,  the
Purchasers  do not  believe  that any  market is likely to arise.  Therefore,  a
reduction in the number of Unitholders  should not materially  further  restrict
the  Unitholders'  ability to find  purchasers  for their Units on any secondary
market.

     Voting Power of  Purchasers.  Depending on the number of Units  acquired by
the  Purchasers  pursuant to the Offer,  the  Purchasers may have the ability to
exert control on matters subject to the vote

                                       13


<PAGE>



of  Unitholders.  The  Purchasers  are  purchasing  Units solely for  investment
purposes,  and do not  intend to take or  solicit  any  action  pursuant  to the
exercise  of  voting  rights  of  limited  partners  of  the  Partnership.   The
Partnership has completed operations, holds only cash and receivables as assets,
and must hold  certain  of its cash  reserves  in  accordance  with the terms of
indemnity obligations under its agreements to sell its properties.  Accordingly,
its activities are strictly  circumscribed  and the Purchasers  therefore do not
believe  that  their  potential  purchase  of  a  controlling  interest  in  the
Partnership has any material  bearing on the Offer or the  Partnership's  future
prospects.

         The Units are registered under the Exchange Act, which requires,  among
other things that the Partnership furnish certain information to its Unitholders
and to the Commission and comply with the Commission's proxy rules in connection
with meetings of, and solicitation of consents from, Unitholders. The Purchasers
believe  that,  depending  on the  number of Units  acquired  by the  Purchasers
pursuant to the Offer, the Offer could result in the Units becoming eligible for
deregistration under the Exchange Act.

         Section 8. Future  Plans.  Following the  completion of the Offer,  the
Purchasers,  or  their  affiliates,  may  acquire  additional  Units.  Any  such
acquisition  may be made through private  purchases,  through one or more future
tender offers or by any other means deemed  advisable.  Any such acquisition may
be at a consideration  higher or lower than the consideration to be paid for the
Units purchased pursuant to the Offer.

         The Purchasers are acquiring the Units pursuant to the Offer solely for
investment purposes. The Purchasers have no present intention to seek control of
the  Partnership or to change the  management or operations of the  Partnership.
The  Purchasers  nevertheless  reserve  the right to  exercise  their  rights as
limited partners to vote on matters subject to a limited partner vote.

         Section 9. The Business of the Partnership. Information included herein
concerning  the  Partnership  is derived from the  Partnership's  publicly-filed
reports  and   correspondence   disseminated  to  all  Unitholders.   Additional
information concerning the Partnership, its assets, operations and management is
contained in its Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly  Reports on Form 10-Q
and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Such reports and
filings are available for  inspection at the  Commission's  principal  office in
Washington,  D.C. and at its regional offices in New York, New York and Chicago,
Illinois.   The  Purchasers   expressly  disclaim  any  responsibility  for  the
information included in such reports and extracted in this discussion.

         The  Partnership  was  organized in 1986.  The  Partnership  thereafter
purchased  four nursing  homes and joint venture  interests in three  additional
nursing homes. In March 1997, the Partnership  solicited limited partner consent
to sell substantially all of its operating assets to Omega Healthcare Investors,
Inc.  and to  liquidate  and  dissolve  the  Partnership.  The limited  partners
approved the sale, liquidation and dissolution, and the properties were sold.

         The Partnership  distributed  cash in the approximate  amount of $1,003
per Unit  after  the  close  of the  property  sales  earlier  in  1997,  and an
additional amount equal to $140 per Unit in July 1997.  However,  because of the
time  periods  needed  to  collect   outstanding   receivables  and  to  satisfy
indemnities  given the buyer by the  Partnership  in the agreement of sale,  the
remaining  distributions of cash to the limited  partners are to be delayed.  In
conversations  with  principals  of the  Purchasers,  the  General  Partner  has
estimated that the Partnership will make a final liquidating distribution in the
amount of approximately  $92 per Unit in July 2000. The Purchasers would acquire
from selling Unitholders the

                                       14

right to receive the final liquidating distribution.

     Section 10.  Conflicts of  Interest.  The  Depositary  is  affiliated  with
certain Purchasers. Therefore, by virtue of this affiliation, the Depositary may
have inherent conflicts of interest in acting as Depositary for the Offer.

         Section  11.  Certain  Information   Concerning  the  Purchasers.   The
Purchasers are JDF and Associates,  LLC,  Previously Owned  Partnerships  Income
Fund II, L.P.,  Specified Income Fund, L.P.,  MacKenzie  Patterson Special Fund,
L.P.,  MacKenzie  Fund VI, A  California  Limited  Partnership,  Steven Gold and

         During the last six months, and prior to the July 11, 1997 distribution
to Unitholders,  an affiliate of the Purchasers acquired eight Units for a price
equal to $115 per Unit. Affiliates of the Purchasers currently  beneficially own
a total of 607 Units, or approximately 3.25% of the outstanding Units.

         During recent weeks,  principals of the  Purchasers  have contacted the
General Partner to inquire as to the  Partnership's  current estimates as to the
timing and  amounts of the  remaining  distributions,  and to advise the General
Partner that the Purchasers  intended to make the Offer  described  herein.  The
information  provided to the  Purchasers  concerning the  Partnership's  current
estimates for future distributions is set forth in this Offer to Purchase.

         The Purchasers have executed binding  commitments to contribute amounts
sufficient  to fund the  acquisition  of all Units  subject  to the  Offer,  the
expenses to be incurred in connection with the Offer,  and all  organization and
operating costs of the Purchasers.  The Purchasers are not public  companies and
have not prepared audited financial statements. The Purchasers and their general

liquid assets of more than $5 million.

         Section 12. Source of Funds. The Purchasers  expect that  approximately
$540,600  would be required to purchase all of the Units,  if  tendered,  and an
additional  $20,000  would be  required to pay related  fees and  expenses.  The
Purchasers  anticipate  funding all of the purchase  price and related  expenses
through existing capital reserves.

         Section 13. Conditions of the Offer.  Notwithstanding any other term of
the Offer,  the Purchasers shall not be required to accept for payment or to pay

         indirectly,  result in any of the  consequences  referred to in clauses
         (i) through (v) of paragraph (a) above;

         (c) any change or  development  shall have occurred or been  threatened

         liabilities,  financial condition, operations, results of operations or
         prospects of the Partnership,  which, in the reasonable judgment of the
         Purchasers, is or may be materially adverse to the Partnership,  or the
         Purchasers  shall have become aware of any fact that, in the reasonable
         judgment of the Purchasers,  does or may have a material adverse effect
         on the value of the Units;

         (d) there shall have occurred (i) any general suspension of trading in,
         or  limitation  on prices for,  securities  on any national  securities
         exchange or in the over-the-counter market in the

                                       16


<PAGE>



         United  States,  (ii) a  declaration  of a  banking  moratorium  or any
         suspension of payments in respect of banks in the United States,  (iii)
         any limitation by any  governmental  authority on, or other event which

         exchange rates or a suspension of a limitation on the markets  thereof,
         or (vi) in the case of any of the foregoing existing at the time of the
         commencement  of  the  Offer,  a  material  acceleration  or  worsening
         thereof; or

         (e) it shall have been publicly  disclosed or the Purchasers shall have
         otherwise  learned that (i) more than fifty percent of the  outstanding
         Units  have been or are  proposed  to be  acquired  by  another  person
         (including  a "group"  within the  meaning of Section  13(d)(3)  of the
         Exchange  Act), or (ii) any person or group that prior to such date had
         filed a Statement with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(d) or (g)
         of the Exchange Act has increased or proposes to increase the number of
         Units  beneficially  owned by such person or group as disclosed in such
         Statement by two percent or more of the outstanding Units.

             The foregoing conditions are for the sole benefit of the Purchasers
and may be asserted by the  Purchasers  regardless of the  circumstances  giving
rise to such  conditions or may be waived by the  Purchasers in whole or in part
at any time and from time to time in their sole  discretion.  Any termination by
the Purchasers  concerning the events  described above will be final and binding
upon all parties.

             Section 14. Certain Legal Matters.

             General. Except as set forth in this Section 14, the Purchasers are
not aware of any filings,  approvals or other actions by any domestic or foreign
governmental  or  administrative  agency  that  would be  required  prior to the
acquisition  of Units by the Purchasers  pursuant to the Offer.  Should any such
approval or other action be required,  it is the Purchasers'  present  intention
that such  additional  approval  or action  would be sought.  While  there is no
present  intent to delay the  purchase of Units  tendered  pursuant to the Offer
pending  receipt  of any such  additional  approval  or the  taking  of any such
action,  there can be no assurance that any such additional  approval or action,
if needed,  would be obtained  without  substantial  conditions  or that adverse
consequences  might not result to the  Partnership's  business,  or that certain
parts of the  Partnership's  business  might not have to be  disposed of or held
separate or other substantial  conditions  complied with in order to obtain such
approval  or  action,  any of  which  could  cause  the  Purchasers  to elect to
terminate  the  Offer  without  purchasing  Units  thereunder.  The  Purchasers'
obligation  to  purchase  and pay for Units is subject  to  certain  conditions,
including conditions related to the legal matters discussed in this Section 14.

     Antitrust.  The  Purchasers  do  not  believe  that  the  Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, is applicable to the acquisition
of Units pursuant to the Offer.

     Margin  Requirements.  The  Units  are not  "margin  securities"  under the
regulations  of the  Board of  Governors  of the  Federal  Reserve  System  and,
accordingly, such regulations are not applicable to the Offer.

     State  Takeover  Laws. A number of states have adopted  anti-takeover  laws
which  purport,  to varying  degrees,  to be  applicable  to attempts to acquire
securities of corporations which are

                                       17


<PAGE>



incorporated in such states or which have substantial assets,  security holders,
principal executive offices or principal places of business therein.  These laws
are  directed at the  acquisition  of  corporations  and not  partnerships.  The
Purchasers,  therefore,  do not believe that any anti-takeover laws apply to the
transactions contemplated by the Offer.

             Although the Purchasers have not attempted to comply with any state
anti-takeover  statutes in connection with the Offer, the Purchasers reserve the
right to challenge  the  validity or  applicability  of any state law  allegedly
applicable  to the Offer and  nothing  in this  Offer  nor any  action  taken in
connection  herewith  is  intended  as a  waiver  of such  right.  If any  state
anti-takeover statute is applicable to the Offer, the Purchasers might be unable
to accept for payment or  purchase  Units  tendered  pursuant to the Offer or be
delayed in continuing or  consummating  the Offer.  In such case, the Purchasers
may not be obligated to accept for purchase or pay for any Units tendered.

             Section  15.  Fees  and  Expenses.  The  Purchasers  have  retained
MacKenzie  Patterson,  Inc.,  an  affiliate  of  certain  Purchasers,  to act as
Depositary in connection with the Offer.  The Purchasers will pay the Depositary
reasonable and customary  compensation  for its services in connection  with the
Offer, plus  reimbursement for  out-of-pocket  expenses,  and will indemnify the
Depositary  against certain  liabilities  and expenses in connection  therewith,
including  liabilities  under the federal  securities  laws. The Purchasers will
also pay all costs and  expenses  of  printing,  publication  and mailing of the
Offer.

             Section 16. Miscellaneous. THE OFFER IS NOT BEING MADE TO (NOR WILL
TENDERS BE ACCEPTED FROM OR ON BEHALF OF)  UNITHOLDERS  IN ANY  JURISDICTION  IN
WHICH  THE  MAKING  OF THE  OFFER  OR THE  ACCEPTANCE  THEREOF  WOULD  NOT BE IN
COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAWS OF SUCH  JURISDICTION.  THE PURCHASERS ARE NOT AWARE OF
ANY  JURISDICTION  WITHIN THE UNITED  STATES IN WHICH THE MAKING OF THE OFFER OR
THE ACCEPTANCE THEREOF WOULD BE ILLEGAL.

             No person has been  authorized to give any  information  or to make
any  representation  on behalf of the Purchasers not contained  herein or in the
Letter of Transmittal and, if given or made, such information or  representation
must not be relied upon as having been authorized.

AGREED UPON PROCEDURES LETTER


July 15, 1997

Mr. C.E. Patterson, President
MacKenzie Patterson, Inc.
1640 School Street, Suite 100
Moraga, California  94556

Dear Mr. C.E. Patterson:

You have asked us to analyze certain calculations relating to the proposed offer
by affiliates of MacKenzie Patterson,  Inc. to acquire limited partnership units
of the Medical  Income  Properties 2A Limited  Partnership.  In this regard,  we
performed the following procedures:

Read solicitation material,  letters,  schedules and other financial information
prepared  by your  company  or other  third-party  entities.  Obtained  and read
relevant  documentation  regarding  existing  capital  account  balances  of the
subject  limited  partnership.  Prepared  schedule(s)  showing the estimated tax
ramifications for the sellers of the limited partnership units.

ASSUMPTIONS

We prepared a schedule  titled  "Calculations  Showing the  Estimated  Values of
Holding or Selling a Limited  Partnership  Unit" which accompany this letter.  A
number of assumptions and factors were made, including,  but not limited to, the
following:

Form of Ownership

     The  calculations and presentation of benefits as presented in the attached
schedule are  applicable  to those  investors who hold title to units as taxable
assets.  These calculations do not apply for an investor holding units within an
Individual  Retirement  Account or any other form of qualified  plan.  INVESTORS
HOLDING  UNITS IN A TAX-FREE OR  TAX-DEFERRED  ACCOUNT  MUST  CONSULT WITH THEIR
PERSONAL TAX ADVISOR TO DETERMINE THE PROPER TAX TREATMENT OF SELLING OR HOLDING
THEIR UNITS.

Column  Headings  

     This schedule has been prepared to reflect the diversity of tax rates which
may be  applicable  to individual  investors.  The schedule  attempts to provide
investors  with a range of federal  and state tax rates.  The state tax rate may
range  from 0% (in  states  with no tax rate) to 10% or  higher.  This  schedule
reflects an average  state rate of 5%.  Three  federal  tax rates are  provided,
resulting  in  combined  federal and state of 20% for column 1, 33% for column 2
and 39% for  column  3.  Investors  should  consult  their own tax  advisors  to
determine their actual federal and state tax rates. The utilization of different
combined tax rates will yield different  results.

Estimated  average  existing capital account balance 

     This  figure  was  supplied  by  Mr.  John   Stoddard   (President  of  the
Partnership's  General  Partner) and  represents  the estimated tax basis of one
unit.  This figure is based on the tax basis of the capital  account  within the
limited partnership. There may be external factors, such as a and/or acquisition
of units  other  than  those of the  initial  issuance,  which  may  result in a
materially   different  value.  Each  investor  should  review  their  financial
information  and K-1's with  their tax  advisors  to  determine  their  personal
current existing capital account balance.
<PAGE>

Taxable loss on sale of unit 

     The taxable loss on sale of unit is calculated by  subtracting  the average
capital  account  balance  from the  offer  price.  The  taxable  loss will vary
depending on the investor's ACTUAL account  balance.

Tax savings from reported loss at applicable tax rate 

     The tax savings  was  calculated  by  multiplying  the taxable  loss by the
combined  federal and state tax rate as indicated in the column heading.  Please
note  the   possible   limitation   of  capital   losses  as   discussed   under
Disclaimers.

Estimated  combined  monetary  benefits  from sale 

     The estimated  combined  monetary  benefits from sale was derived by adding
the tax savings from reported loss to the cash  offer.

Payout in 38 months (by September 2000) 

     The payout value  (before  discounting)  was provided by Mr. John  Stoddard
(President of the Partnership's General Partner).  This represents the estimated
cash proceeds per unit to be received by each investor 38 months after the close
of the sale of the real  estate.  The schedule  then  calculates  the  estimated
present  value of the  distribution  by  discounting  the payment at 10%. If the
actual cash  distribution is received  earlier than 38 months,  then the present
value will be higher. Additionally, each investor must determine the appropriate
discount  rate to utilize in  calculating  the  present  value of the  projected
distribution. Some investors may require a higher rate of return while other may
require  a lower  rate of  return.  Each  investor  should  consult  with  their
independent  tax or investment  advisor.

Estimated  average  existing  capital account balance 

     See  above.

Reduction  of  capital  as  a  result  of  distributions  

     The reduction of capital is equal to the estimated payout in 38 months. The
schedule does not factor any  increases in the capital  account which may result
from  partnership  income.

Capital  at partnership  liquidation 

     This figure is  calculated  by the  estimated  payout in 38 months from the
estimated average existing capital account  balance.

Tax savings from reported loss at applicable tax rate 

     The tax savings are  calculated by  multiplying  the capital at partnership

Estimated present value of holdings at the end of 38 month period

     This number represents the estimated present value of the limited partners'
interest  and is  calculated  by  adding  the  numbers  together  in the  column
above.

Estimated  discount  rate and amount  for "risk  factor"  

     The discount  factor is presented  here to help  illustrate and measure the
risk of holding onto an investment  for 38 months with no guarantee of receiving
a payment in the future.  This  analysis  shows the  percentage  of "risk factor
discount" and the corresponding  dollar amount to reconcile the present value of
holding the investment to the combined  monetary  benefits if the units are sold
to  affiliates  of  MacKenzie   Patterson.   Each  investor  must  evaluate  the
appropriateness of utilizing a 29% "risk factor" rate under the 20% combined tax
rate  column,  or an 15% "risk  factor"  rate  under the 33%  combined  tax rate
column,  or a 9% "risk  factor" rate under the 39%  combined tax rate column.  A
higher  discount  factor would result in a lower present value. A lower discount
factor would result in a higher present value.  PLEASE NOTE THAT THE RISK FACTOR
DISCOUNT  RATE IS SIMPLY A  CALCULATED  FIGURE  PROVIDED TO GIVE THE INVESTOR AN
IDEA OF THE  DIFFERENCE  BETWEEN THE OFFER PRICE AND THE PRESENT  VALUE OF THEIR
CURRENT  HOLDINGS.

Estimated  present value after  further  discount for "risk factor" 

     The estimated  present  value after  further  discount for "risk factor" is
calculated  by  deducting  the risk  factor  amount  (discussed  above) from the
"estimated present value of holdings at end of 38 month period."

DISCLAIMERS

     These  schedules  have been prepared based on federal tax laws in effect as
of June 30,  1997.  As a result,  the  schedules  do not address  any  potential
changes in federal or state tax laws.  Investors  should  consult with their own
independent  tax advisors to  determine  the impact of proposed  federal,  state
and/or local tax law changes, if any.

     These schedules assume that the investors will be able to fully utilize the
capital  losses (if any)  associated  with this  transaction.  Investors  should
realize that current  federal tax laws limit the amount of capital  losses which
can be utilized in any one tax year. The treatment of capital losses varies from
state to state. Investors should consult with their own independent tax advisors
to  determine  if they  are  affected  by  Federal  and/or  state  capital  loss
limitation rules.

     These  schedules  assume  that  investors  can  utilize  the tax  benefits.
Investors  owning  limited  partnership  units within an  Individual  Retirement
Account or other  tax-free  and  tax-deferred  qualified  plan will be unable to
utilize these benefits.

     The  accounting  firm of Cates  Moore & Regalia,  CPA's does not  advocate,
support,  promote or guarantee any rates of return,  tax benefits,  tax savings,
capital  gains or other  financial  results  from the  proposed  acquisition  of
limited partnership units.

     The accounting  firm of Cates Moore & Regalia,  CPA's  strongly  recommends
that limited partners  consult with their  independent tax advisors to determine
the reasonableness of assumptions utilized, proposed tax benefits, and estimated
financial results.

lower discount rate would result in a higher  present  value. A higher  discount
rate would result in a lower present value. The discount rate of 10% is utilized
for purposes of  presentation  only and should not be construed to represent any
real or potential rate of return.

thereafter will be withheld until a TIN is provided to the Purchasers); and
                  (ii)  Unless this box [ ] is checked,  the  Unitholder  is not
subject to backup withholding either because the Unitholder:  (a) is exempt from

dividends, or (c) has been notified by the IRS that such Unitholder is no longer

social security number (for individuals) or employer  identification number (for
non-individuals)  is correctly printed in the signature box on the front of this

     3. U.S.  Persons.  A Unitholder  who or which is a United States citizen or
resident alien individual,  a domestic  corporation,a  domestic  partnership,  a
domestic trust or a domestic estate  (collectively  "United States  persons") as

         Box B - Substitute  Form W-9. In order to avoid 31% federal  income tax
         backup  withholding,  the Unitholder must provide to the Purchasers the
         Unitholder's correct Taxpayer  Identification Number or Social Security
         Number  ("TIN")  in the space  provided  below the  signature  line and

         (including,  among others,  all corporations) are not subject to backup
         withholding.   Backup   withholding  is  not  an  additional   tax.  If

         must certify,  under  penalties of perjury,  the  Unitholder's  TIN and
         address,  and that the Unitholder is not a foreign person. Tax withheld
         under  Section 1445 of the Internal  Revenue Code is not an  additional
         tax. If  withholding  results in an overpayment of tax, a refund may be
         obtained from the IRS.

     4. Box D -  Foreign  Persons.  In order for a  Unitholder  who is a foreign
person  (i.e.,  not a United  States Person as defined in 3 above) to qualify as
exempt from 31% backup withholding,  such foreign Unitholder must certify, under
penalties  of perjury,  the  statement  in BOX D of this  Letter of  Transmittal
attesting to that foreign  person's  status by checking the box  preceding  such

                                 Exhibit (a)(3)

<PAGE>

July 18, 1997

     TO:      MEDICAL INCOME PROPERTIES 2A, LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

SUBJECT:      OFFER TO PURCHASE 100% OF THE PARTNERSHIP UNITS FOR $29 PER UNIT

Dear Fellow Limited Partner:

Enclosed  with  this  letter is an offer to pay you $29 per Unit for any and all
Units you own in Medical Income  Properties 2A Limited  Partnership  ("MIP 2A").
This offer is for 100% of the 18,639  units  outstanding.  MacKenzie  Patterson,
Inc. ("MPI")  represents a group of investment  entities which currently own 607
(3.3%) of MIP 2A. JDF and Associates,  LLC, Previously Owned Partnerships Income
Fund II, LP, Specified  Income Fund,LP,  MacKenzie  Patterson  Special Fund, LP,
MacKenzie Fund VI, LP, Steve Gold and Moraga Gold, LLC, (the  "Purchasers")  are
making this offer.  The Purchaser does not intend to request a change in control
or from the current  general  partner.  The Purchaser is interested in acquiring
units of MIP 2A for investment purposes only.

     As you are aware,  MIP 2A has sold all of its  properties and has announced
plans for the liquidation of the  partnership  over  approximately  three years.
Limited  Partners in MIP 2A have just  recently  received  distributions  in the
total amount of $1,143 per unit. The general partner of MIP 2A has now announced
the intention of distributing only one additional payment: of up to $92 prior to
July, 2000. The partnership  must delay the final  distribution to allow time to
collect outstanding receivables,  to allow Medicare to complete its audit of the
cost reports for the facilities in which the  partnership  had an interest,  and
the  completion of the period during which the  partnership  must  indemnify the
purchaser of the partnership's properties for certain potential claims. Mip 2A's
general partner has expressed the belief that while there are significant  risks
that something less than the estimated  receivables  will actually be collected,
and further that Medicare may make claims  against the  partnership  larger than
anticipated,  notwithstanding  the Purchasers believe that the general partner's
estimates  are  sufficiently  conservative  to support the  likelihood  that the
projected distribution amounts will be achieved.

The  Purchasers  are  interested  in  acquiring  the rights to receive the final
distribution,  and are willing to pay cash now to limited  partners  who wish to
terminate their investment rather than to await this final distribution.

The Purchasers recognize that the potential benefits from change in taxation for
an  individual  limited  partner is a complex  matter,  and can be impacted by a
limited partners circumstances  unrelated to the partnership.  In fact, if units
are held in an IRA or Qualified Plan account, there will be no TAX benefits from
a sale and thus the economics of the  transaction  are materially  less for such
investors. Therefore, we have asked that the Certified Public Accounting firm of
Cates, Moore and Regalia prepare projections of the impact for a limited partner
who sells to the  Purchasers.  The  Projections  are  included  in the  Offering
Material  included with this letter as Exhibit A. The Purchasers  encourage each
limited partner to review this Offer and the  accompanying  tax projections with
their own tax counsel to be certain of the ultimate tax impact.

Based upon  hypothetical  results to an average  unit holder (see Exhibit A) the
Purchasers' offer represents  between a 9% and 29% discount to the present value
of the expected  distributions  and tax benefits  depending upon a taxpayers tax
bracket and using an 10% "cost of money"  assumption.  That is, if one considers
the time value of having  cash today  versus  receiving  the  benefits  from the
partnership  over the next  three  years,  then  the  Purchasers'  offer is only
between 9 to 29% less than the present  value of those  benefits.  The Purchaser
believes  that  these  discounts  are  quite  small  relative  to the  risks  of
collection of MIP 2A's remaining  receivables and to the normal 35-50% discounts
accorded to most limited  partnership units traded on the secondary market.  The
reason the Purchase Offer discount can be relatively low to the present value of
the  future   distributions   lies  in  the  timing  of  the  taxation  and  the
distributions relative to the limited partnership interests in the partnership.
<PAGE>

         In  the  final  analysis,  the  relative  benefits  of  selling  to the
         Purchasers or holding until  liquidation are very small to most limited
         partners. The average holding by limited partners of the partnership is
         fewer than 11 units!.  The amount of  expected  distributions  over the
         next three years is only $92 per unit. The difference  between the cash
         received by holding  rather than  selling  will be a  relatively  small
         dollar  amount for most  investors.  MPI believes  that most  investors
         would rather  terminate their investment in 1997 rather than waiting an
         additional three years during which time three additional years of K-1s
         or other  tax  information  will have to be  filed,  filings  which may
         result in  additional  accounting  costs for investors and thus greatly
         diminish the net benefits from their investment.

Limited  partners should bear in mind that 1997 will be the last year in which a
selling  limited  partner  will  have  to file  tax  information  regarding  the
partnership,   a  fact  which  should  result  in  significant  savings  in  tax
preparation expenses for most partners.

Limited partners should also be aware that the  Partnership's GP has stated
that  they  will  consider  re-submitting  a  filing  with  the  SEC  requesting
permission to substantially  diminish  reporting to the SEC. The general partner
expects  that if  such  permission  is  granted  that  transfer  of the  limited
partnership units will generally be prohibited following 1997.

Limited  Partners should be clear that the Purchasers are making this offer with
the  intent of making a profit on the  acquisition  of the units.  However,  the
economics  of the  investment  for the  Purchasers  are  different  than for the
existing  limited  partners  because  the  Purchasers  will not be  impacted  by
taxation until the  partnership  liquidates.  The Purchasers are buying only the
potential  to receive $92 over three years for a price of $29,  and, in spite of
not insignificant risks that the amount received will be substantially different
than $92,  is  willing  to make the offer so that it might  enjoy the  potential
profits.

The Purchasers  believe that their Offer represents an excellent  alternative to
existing  limited partners who wish to receive current benefits of approximately
$72 per unit rather than  continue to hold their  investment  for another  three
years.  (See Exhibit A, Column #2) There are other  meaningful  risks associated
with accepting the Purchasers'  Offer.  These risks are detailed on Page 1 and 2
of the Offering  materials  enclosed  herewith.  Please  review these  carefully
before making your decision.

The formal Offer to Purchase  enclosed  provides  more details on all aspects of
the Offer.

We  encourage  you to review our offer and act promptly as the Offer to Purchase
will expire on August 25, 1997, unless extended.

A  transmittal  letter  (in  pink) is also  enclosed  which you can use for
accepting the offer.  Please execute this document and return it in the enclosed
envelope. Please call us at (800) 854-8357 ext. 206 if you have any questions.

Respectfully submitted,
