                Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
                                        Condition and Results of Operations


Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The  Partnership's  liquidity  is largely  dependent  on its ability to
maintain reasonably high occupancy levels,  achieve rental rate increases as the
respective  markets allow and to control  operating  expenses.  The  Partnership
currently has sufficient  liquid assets from its rental  revenues to satisfy its
anticipated operating expenditures and debt service obligations.

         On August 12, 1996, the  Partnership  made a cash  distribution  to its
partners totaling $127,561,  representing an annualized return of 4% on invested
capital.  Based upon the operating  results  through June and the budget for the
remainder  of the year,  operating  cash flow  during  1996 is expected to yield
approximately  4.7% on invested  capital.  While operations were slightly behind
budget  for the  first  half of the year due to lower  than  expected  occupancy
levels,  improved  occupancy trends experienced at each property during July are
expected to be sustained throughout the second half of the year and as a result,
we expect  operating  results will be on budget for the second half of the year.
We  expect a 4%  distribution  rate  will be in place  throughout  1996 and will
review  Partnership  reserves with respect to distribution  levels at the end of
the year.

         The Partnership does not anticipate an outlay for any other significant
capital improvements or repair costs that might adversely impact its liquidity.

Results of Operations

         Second  quarter  revenues  generated  from the  operation  of the three
apartment  communities  increased marginally when compared to revenues collected
during the second  quarter of 1995.  Through  the first half of 1996,  operating
revenues  increased less than 1% when compared to revenues  received  during the
first half of 1995. While collections  increased at both the Dayton and Columbus
properties, revenues received at the Cincinnati property decreased due to higher
vacancy levels experienced in 1996. While the gross rent potential for the three
communities  increased  $85,225 or (4.5%),  from  $1,887,356 to  $1,972,581  the
average  aggregate  occupancy level of the properties  decreased from 93% during
the first half of 1995 to 91%  during  the first half of 1996.  Since the end of
the second  quarter  occupancy  levels  have  improved  at each  community  (all
properties'  occupancy  levels are  currently 95% or higher) and we expect these
improved  levels to be sustained  for the  remainder  of the year.  As a result,
revenues are expected to increase throughout the remainder of the year.

         Second  quarter   operating   expenses   excluding   interest  charges,
depreciation and amortization  costs,  decreased $26,276 versus similar expenses
incurred during the second quarter of 1995.  Through the first half of the year,
similar expenses increased  approximately  $21,000,  or 3%, versus 1995. Through
the first half of 1996,  operating  expenses  exceeded  budget by  approximately
$24,000 due primarily to higher  maintenance  costs.  We expect  operating costs
throughout  the  year  to  remain  slightly  over  budget  due  to  higher  than
anticipated lease-up expenditures.

         Due to only a marginal increase in revenues,  coupled with the increase
in expenses  (excluding  interest charges,  depreciation and amortization costs)
through the first half of 1996 as compared to 1995, the net operating  income of
the property decreased $7,666 or approximately 1%.

         Payments of principal and interest on the permanent loans were $736,297
during the first half of both 1996 and 1995 and included principal reductions of
$90,542 and 82,777 respectively.

         Occupancy levels at Woodhills, in Dayton, Ohio, averaged 90% during the
second quarter of 1996 essentially unchanged from the first quarter of the year.
Rental rates on selected units  increased  modestly  during the second  quarter.
Revenues  received  through the first half of 1996 increased  $25,565,  or 4.8%,
when compared to 1995 first half revenues.  Since the end of the second quarter,
occupancy  levels have  steadily  increased  and  currently the community is 95%
occupied.  Operating  expenses  are within 3% of budget.  Higher than  projected
maintenance  expenses due to  apartment  turnover  costs  resulted in the modest
overage  in  operating  costs.  Management  believes  occupancy  levels  in  the
mid-nineties will be maintained for the remainder of the year.

Results of Operations (continued)

         At Deerfield,  in Cincinnati,  Ohio, the average occupancy level during
the second  quarter  was 92% up 5% from the first  quarter  average of 87%. As a
result  of this  favorable  trend  in  occupancy,  second  quarter  revenues  at
Deerfield  increased  $16,500,  or 5% when compared to revenues collected during
the first quarter of the year. As a result of the first  quarter's low occupancy
however,  revenues  received  through the first half of the year remain  $15,647
below  those  collected  during the first half of 1995.  Occupancy  levels  have
trended positively since June and currently the community is 95% occupied. Based
on available market  information and leasing trends,  we expect occupancy levels
will  remain at or above  95%  throughout  1996.  Due to  higher  than  budgeted
maintenance  expenses  associated  with  apartment  lease-up  costs,   operating
expenses exceeded budget by approximately 3% during the first half of the year.

         At Oakbrook in Columbus, Ohio, occupancy levels averaged 96% during the
second quarter of 1996 up 4% from the first quarter  average of 92%. As a result
of this favorable trend,  revenues  received during the second quarter increased
$16,209 or 6% when compared to the first quarter of the year.  Through the first
six months, revenues received at Oakbrook increased $15,657, or 2% when compared
to revenues received during the first half of 1995.  Throughout July,  occupancy
levels  continued  to increase and  currently  the  community  is 97%  occupied.
Maintenance  costs  associated  with the lease-up of units resulted in operating
expenses  exceeding the budget by approximately 4% through the first half of the
year.

         Management  is committed to  sustaining  the recent  positive  trend in
occupancy levels experienced at each of the properties.  We believe rental rates
will remain essentially  unchanged  throughout the remainder of the year and are
striving to achieve and maintain a 95% average aggregate occupancy level for the
portfolio.  As such,  we expect  revenues and  operating  income for the Fund to
increase during each of the last two quarters of the year.
