          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 or about August 11, 2000, the Partnership will make a cash  distribution
to its partners  totaling  $191,342,  representing an annualized return of 6% on
invested  capital.  This  distribution  is  from  the  operations  of the  three
apartment  properties.  Based on the operating  results  through  June,  and the
budget  for the  remainder  of the  year,  operating  cash flow  during  2000 is
expected to fully fund a distribution rate of 6%.

     The Partnership  does not anticipate an outlay for any significant  capital
improvements or repair costs that might adversely impact its liquidity in 2000.

Results of Operations

     Second  quarter 2000  revenues  increased by $41,768 (4%) when  compared to
revenues  during the second  quarter  of 1999.  Through  the first half of 2000,
revenues increased by $81,815 (4%) when compared to those revenues for the first
half of 1999.  The increase in revenues  through the first half of the year is a
result of higher  rental  rates  achieved  at the  properties  as the  aggregate
occupancy level of the portfolio was unchanged at approximately 92%.

     Second quarter operating expenses, excluding interest charges, depreciation
and amortization costs,  increased $13,642 (3%) versus similar expenses incurred
during the second quarter of 1999.  Through the first half of the year,  similar
expenses have increased $19,677 (2%), versus 1999.  Operating costs are expected
to  increase  modestly  during the second  half of the year due to the  exterior
painting of the properties.

     Due to the  proportionately  larger increase in revenues  versus  operating
expenses  (excluding  interest  charges,  depreciation and  amortization  costs)
through the first half of 2000, the aggregate net operating  income of the three
properties increased $62,138 (6%) when compared to the first half of 1999.

     Occupancy  levels at Woodhills,  in Dayton,  Ohio,  averaged 93% during the
second quarter of 2000. Revenues through the first half of the year were $29,384
(5%) higher than those in 1999 due to lower rental concessions and modest rental
rate increases. The Dayton apartment rental market has improved and rental rates
have increased as a result.  Market rental rates have increased from $565 during
the  second  quarter  of  1999  to $592  during  the  second  quarter  of  2000,
representing  an increase  of  approximately  5%.  Management  will  continue to
implement rate increases as the market allows.

     The rental market in Cincinnati remains strong. The average occupancy level
at the Deerfield property was 96% during the second quarter of 2000 representing
a 1% increase when compared to the second  quarter of 1999.  The average  rental
rate at the community has increased  from $623 during the second quarter of 1999
to $665 in the second  quarter of 2000,  representing  an increase of 7%. Due to
occupancy  and rental  rate  increases,  revenues  during the first half of 2000
increased $40,427 when compared to the first half of 1999. The Cincinnati market
continues to be strong and rents will be increased as the market allows.

     At Oakbrook,  in Columbus,  Ohio,  occupancy levels averaged 95% during the
second  quarter  of 2000,  down from 97%  during  the  second  quarter  of 1999.
Management  has been  successful in  maintaining  high  occupancy  levels at the
property in a competitive  market.  The average rental rates increased from $575
in the  second  quarter  of 1999 to $591  during  the  second  quarter  of 2000,
representing  an  increase  of 3%.  Revenues  through  the  first  half  of 2000
increased  $7,351 (1%) when  compared  to 1999.  Management's  focus  during the
second  half of the year  will be on  increasing  rents on all  unit  types  and
keeping expenses at or below budget.

     The General  Partners are  committed to sustaining  the positive  financial
performance achieved at each of the three properties.
