    Financial Center.  The Partnership's interests in Taxter Corporate
    Park and the partnership which owns interests in Chesterbrook
    Corporate Center are accounted for on the equity method.  

    The Partnership's records are maintained on the accrual basis of
    accounting for financial reporting and tax purposes.  
    
    Net income per Unit amounts are calculated by dividing net income
    allocated to Limited Partners, in accordance with the Partnership
    Agreement, by the weighted average number of Units outstanding.
    
    In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial
    statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the
    results for the interim periods.

2.  Related Party Transactions

    An affiliate of the Managing General Partner provided property
    management services for two properties and for five buildings at the
    Chesterbrook Corporate Center as of June 30, 1994 and 1993.  The
    Partnership paid the affiliate management fees of approximately
    $84,000  and $65,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993,
    respectively.

    Another affiliate of the Managing General Partner performs
    administrative functions, processes investor transactions and
    prepares tax information for the Partnership.  For the six months
    ended June 30, 1994 and 1993, the Partnership incurred approximately
    $203,000 and $201,000, respectively, for these services.  

    As of June 30, 1994, the affiliates were owed approximately $50,000 
      for these services.

3.  Subsequent Event
    
    On July 28, 1994, the Partnership paid a cash distribution of $5.00
    per Unit to the Limited Partners.  The total cash distribution
    amounted to $1,691,317, with $1,522,185 distributed to the Limited
    Partners and $169,132 to the General Partners.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
           and Results of Operations

  Liquidity and Capital Resources

    The Partnership raised $152,218,500 in a public offering of 304,437
units which was terminated in 1988.  The Partnership has no plans to
raise additional capital.

    The Partnership has made four investments in partnerships on an all-
cash basis.  The Partnership's acquisition program has been completed. 
No additional investments are planned.

    Most real estate markets are stabilizing or gradually improving.  No
dramatic turnarounds are forecast for the second half of 1994. 
Continued absence of significant construction activity is the primary
reason for market improvement.  Office properties are still not in
demand but the suburban office market appears to be strengthening as
prices are well below replacement costs; however, the Southern
California office market is still weak because the impact of defense
industry reductions has not been offset by growth in other industries.

    The Partnership's liquidity also depends upon the operating cash
flows of its properties, expenditures for tenant improvements and
leasing commissions in connection with the leasing of vacant space. 
During the six months ended June 30, 1994, all of the Partnership's
properties generated positive cash flow from operations, and it is
anticipated that they will continue to do so.
    
    During the six months ended June 30, 1994, the Partnership's
distributions to investors and capital expenditures exceeded its cash
flow from operations and distributions received from joint ventures;
this shortfall was funded from existing cash reserves.  The Partnership
had reduced its distribution rate in 1992 in order to accumulate such
cash reserves.  For the remainder of 1994, the Partnership expects to
draw down cash reserves to fund a portion of distributions and capital
expenditures.

    During the six months ended June 30, 1994, the Partnership incurred
approximately $721,000 of tenant improvements and leasing commissions
(net of capital contributions from the minority interest), primarily
relating to Pasadena Financial Center.  The Partnership also invested
approximately $516,000, its share of capital expenditures, at the Taxter
and Chesterbrook joint ventures.

    The Vanguard Group, the largest tenant in Chesterbrook Corporate
Center, vacated its space at one of the buildings in November 1993 and
will vacate its remaining space upon the expiration of its leases
between November 1994 and November 1995.  The Partnership expects to
fund significant capital expenditures in order to attract replacement
tenants at this property.

    Pasadena Financial Center has experienced damage to the top floor
and other areas of the building due to water seepage during heavy rains. 
The Partnership is analyzing the problem to determine the extent of
required repairs.

    The Partnership plans to fund its share of certain capital
improvements and security enhancements at the Taxter property in 1994
and 1995.

    On July 28, 1994, the Partnership paid the second quarter
distribution of $5.00 per Unit to the Limited Partners.  The total cash
distribution amounted to $1,691,317, with $1,522,185 distributed to the
Limited Partners and $169,132 to the General Partners.

    Operations

    Fluctuations in the Partnership's operating results for the six- and
three-month periods ended June 30, 1994 compared to the comparable
periods ended June 30, 1993 are primarily attributable to the following:

    The increases in property operating expenses in the periods ended
June 30, 1994 are primarily due to increased costs incurred at Pasadena
Financial Center.

    The increases in depreciation expense in the periods ended June 30,
1994 result from increased expenditures for tenant improvements at
Pasadena Financial Center in 1994.

    A summary of markets in which the Partnership's office properties
are located and the performance of each property is as follows:

    Chesterbrook Corporate Center is located in Valley Forge,
Pennsylvania, a market in which the vacancy rate is approximately 14%. 
Occupancy at the property remained at 84% during the second quarter of
1994.  The remaining Vanguard leases, for 22% of the property's space,
expire between November 1994 and November 1995 and are not expected to
be renewed.  Vanguard is vacating its space to move into its own newly-
constructed space in this market.  This, and other new construction in
the Valley Forge area, will cause the office market to deteriorate
further.  The leases of the other major tenant at the property
(occupying 25% of the space) expire in 1998.

    The office market in Westchester County, New York, the location of
Taxter Corporate Park, has experienced a significant decline.  The
current vacancy level in this market is approximately 27%, as many major
tenants in the market are consolidating their operations.  It is
unlikely that this vacant space will be absorbed in this market for
several years.  Occupancy at the property increased from  97% to 99%
during the second quarter of 1994.  No significant leases expire before
1996.  One of the tenants had 


purchased a long-term leasehold interest in approximately 20% of the
space at the property; this tenant does not pay rent, but is responsible
for its share of real estate taxes and certain operating expenses.

    The Reston market in Virginia, the location of Tech Park Reston, has
a vacancy rate of 12% due to the contraction of the high-tech and
defense firms which are the major tenants in the market.  The leases
with Sprint Communications, the sole tenant, expire in 2003.  Sprint has
the option to terminate its leases on two of the three buildings
beginning in 1997. 

    In Pasadena, California, the location of Pasadena Financial Center,
the overall vacancy rate is approximately 15% as of June 30, 1994. The
vacancy rate is expected to increase further during the remainder of
1994 due to the anticipated reduction of space requirements by three
large corporations headquartered in Pasadena.  In the second quarter of
1994, occupancy at the property remained at 100%.  The majority of the
leases with Countrywide Credit, which rents approximately 53% of the
space at the property, expire in 2001.  However, Countrywide is planning
to consolidate its operations in Pasadena, as well as across the
country, and has indicated it may seek to reduce the space it leases at
the property, either by sub-leasing its space or entering into a
financial settlement to terminate its leases.  No other significant
leases at the property expire before 1997.  The property was not
adversely affected by the Los Angeles earthquake of January 1994.

    Inflation

    Inflation has been consistently low during the periods presented in
the financial statements and, as a result, has not had a significant
effect on the operations of the Partnership or its properties.
