Note 1.  Organization and Partnership Matters

Termination of the Offering

The Partnership's offering expired on February 11, 1989, having raised a 
total of $6,365,000 in contributed capital (including Initial Limited 
Partner's Contribution) from which the Partnership netted $5,719,000 
after underwriting commissions and registration expenses.

Note 2.  Net Income Per Partnership Unit

The Partnership Agreement of the Partnership ("Partnership Agreement") 
provides for net income and net losses from operations for financial 
reporting purposes to be allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to 
the General Partner. Net income per weighted average number of Limited 
Partnership Units is computed by dividing net income allocated to the 
Limited Partners by the weighted average number of Limited Partnership 
Units outstanding. Per unit information has been computed based on 
63,803 weighted average units outstanding at both March 31, 1995 and 
March 31, 1994.

Note 3.  Real Estate Investments

On September 29, 1989, the Partnership restructured (the "Restructure") its 
investment portfolio by consummating the following agreements entered into 
as of June 30, 1989. The Restructure completely eliminated the Partnership's 
debt.

Pursuant to a joint venture agreement, Lutheran Brotherhood ("LB"), the 
parent of the General Partner contributed $6,161,595 cash for an 84% 
interest in the joint venture. The Partnership deeded the Village at 
Worthington Green ("Village") for a 16% interest in the joint venture and 
$6,161,595 cash. On December 1, 1989, the agreement was revised to increase 
the Partnership's interest in the joint venture to 19.3% in exchange for an 
additional $200,000 in cash.

Northwest Distribution Center

Pursuant to a purchase agreement with LB which was assigned to LB from the 
General Partner, the Partnership purchased the Northwest Distribution Center 
("NWDC"), a bulk warehouse/distribution center located in New Hope, 
Minnesota, for $2,256,750.

Minnetonka 225 Associates

Note 4.  Commitments, Contingencies, and Subsequent Events

Commitments

Under the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is required to maintain 
reasonable reserves for normal repairs, replacements, working capital, and 
contingencies in an amount equal to at least 3% of Capital Contributions.

In the event expenditures are made from these reserves, a portion of the 
cash generated from operating revenue shall be allocated to such reserves to 
the extent necessary to maintain the foregoing level. Reserves, including 
demand deposits and Treasury securities, at March 31, 1995 and December 31, 
1994 were in excess of 3% of Capital Contributions.

Pending Litigation

The Partnership is not a party to, nor is any of the Partnership's property 
the subject of, any material legal proceedings.

Subsequent Distribution

Subsequent to quarter end, but as of March 31, 1995, the Partnership paid 
distributions totaling $63,803, to the Limited Partners at the rate of 4% 
per annum on the Limited Partners' invested capital.

Note 5.  Fees and Reimbursements

For the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, the Partnership was 
allocated $20,002 and $16,800, respectively, in partnership administrative 
expenses by the General Partner and other affiliated entities. 


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

INTRODUCTION

The Partnership was formed to engage in the business of acquiring and 
operating income-producing real properties and holding the properties for 
investment. The Partnership's public offering commenced on December 4, 1987, 
and expired on February 11, 1989. The offering raised a total of $6,365,000 
in contributed capital (including the Initial Partners' contributions) from 
which the Partnership netted $5,719,000 after underwriting and registration 
expenses.

The Partnership completed its start-up and investment-in-properties phases 
in 1989 and is currently in an operational phase in which the Partnership's 
activities will be focused on efforts to increase income and distributions 
to Limited Partners through active management of the Partnership's 
properties.

Currently, the Partnership owns a warehouse/distribution center in New Hope, 
Minnesota and is a co-venturer in three joint ventures holding four 
residential and commercial properties. See Part I, Item 1, Note 3, Real 
Estate Investments, for a description of the September, 1989 restructure of 
the Partnership's investment portfolio pursuant to which the Partnership 
acquired its interest in these properties.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Gross rental revenues for NWDC were relatively flat because occupancy levels 
were at 100% during the first quarters of 1995 and 1994. Depreciation and 
amortization expense increased 38% from $16,000 to $22,000, primarily as a 
result of the capitalization of additional tenant improvements late in 1994. 
Other operating expenses increased 16% from $42,000 to $49,000, due to a new 
tenant security system and sprinkler repairs in 1995 and tenant 
reimbursements received in the first quarter of 1994 from prior year 
repairs.

The Partnership's share of Joint Venture income nearly doubled to $49,000 
during the first quarter of 1995 from $27,000 in the first quarter of 1994, 
primarily due to significantly improved operating results at the Minnetonka 
225 property. The Partnership's share of income from the Minnetonka 225 
Joint Venture was $17,000 during the first quarter of 1995 compared to a 
loss of $5,000 during the first quarter of 1994. The occupancy level at 
Minnetonka 225 increased 37% in the first quarter of 1995 compared to the 
first quarter of 1994. In addition, there were unusually high operating 
expense reimbursements paid to tenants during the first quarter of 1994. 
These reimbursements primarily related to prior year property tax refunds 
received on the property in 1993. Overall expenses for the property 
increased slightly in 1995.

Gross rental revenue at Minnetonka 300/400 rose 12% during the first quarter 
of 1995 compared to the first quarter in 1994, primarily due to an increase 
of 18% in the occupancy rate at Minnetonka 300. However, this increase was 
offset by an increase in depreciation expense of 86% between the same 
periods. This increase resulted from capitalized roof replacement costs at 
Minnetonka 300 that were completed in December, 1994. Minnetonka 400's 
occupancy rate was 100% during both periods. As a result of all of these 
actions, the Partnership's share of income from this joint venture decreased 
to $13,000 during the first quarter of 1995 compared to $15,000 during the 
first quarter in 1994.

Occupancy levels at Worthington Green remained at 97% during both periods. 
Gross rental revenues increased only 4% due to slight increases in rental 
rates. There was little change in total operating expenses between periods. 
As a result, the Partnership's share of income from this joint venture 
increased slightly to $19,000 during the first quarter of 1995 from $17,000 
during the first quarter of 1994.

INFLATION

The moderate inflation experienced in 1994 had little effect on the 
Partnership's operations. It is anticipated that during 1995, inflation will 
continue at a moderate level and that the Partnership's operations will not 
be significantly influenced by inflation.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Northwest Distribution Center

NWDC is 100% occupied and the next lease expiration is not until April of 
1997 when 17% of the property comes up for renewal. The market for bulk 
warehouse buildings continues to be strong. The relatively high demand for 
additional space together with low supply have allowed property owners to 
increase rental rates and maintain strong occupancies in late 1994 and early 
1995. These conditions are not expected to change through at least late 1995 
since new development is not keeping pace with demand for functional bulk-
type space.

The Village at Worthington Green

Occupancy at The Village averaged 94% during the first quarter of 1995. The 
property's market area, Worthington, continues to see employment and housing 
growth, including single and multi-family developments. Due to continued new 
development competition, monthly rents at The Village saw little positive 
change during the quarter. However, management is reducing the concessions 
necessary to attract new tenants to The Village.

Management visited The Village during March of 1995. Several potential 
developments relating to road improvements within the Worthington/Dublin 
areas may impact The Village, with the potential for either increasing or 
reducing the property's value. These developments will be watched closely. 
Consideration is also being given to enhancing the marketability of the 
property by the addition of car ports and other amenities, provided that 
they are economically feasible. During 1995, several roofs will be replaced, 
the parking areas overlayed and other interior upgrades performed in order 
for the property to maintain peak desirability.

Minnetonka Industrial Properties

Minnetonka 225's occupancy level at the end of the first quarter of 1995 was 
100%, Minnetonka 300's was approximately 73% and Minnetonka 400's was 100%. 
Minnetonka 300's occupancy is expected to rise to 100% as of May 1, 1995. 
However, Minnetonka 400's occupancy will be reduced to 78% effective July 1, 
1995 due to a tenant exercising its option to terminate its lease on that 
date. Management believes that this termination is actually favorable to the 
Minnetonka 300/400 properties due to that tenant's significant parking 
requirement, which has negatively impacted tenant retention in Minnetonka 
300. Roof replacements are scheduled for both Minnetonka 225 and Minnetonka 
400 in July of 1995 at a total cost of approximately $425,000.

The Office/warehouse market for the Southwest Twin Cities geographic area is 
the strongest such market in the Twin Cities with vacancy less than 9% 
currently. Rents are increasing as demand for this type of property exceeds 
supply. New development comprising approximately 6% of this market's supply 
is currently planned and under pre-leasing; it is expected that ground on 
these projects will be broken during the summer of 1995. Much of this new 
development is expected to be filled by growth as opposed to relocations in 
the market area.
               _____________________________________________

At March 31, 1995, the Partnership held cash and cash equivalents of 
$585,000. The Partnership improved its cash position by $64,000 during the 
quarter as a result of net cash provided from operating activities of 
$128,000 offset by distributions to Partners of $64,000.

The Partnership has sufficient cash and cash equivalents to meet its 3% 
required reserve.

Cash provided from operations in 1995 is expected to be sufficient to 
satisfy substantially all of the Partnership's working capital and normal 
capital expenditure needs. During the first quarter, the Partnership's share 
of capital expenditures was approximately $24,000. An additional $261,000 in 
capital expenditures is anticipated during the remainder of 1995. However, 
cash provided from operations in 1995 may not be sufficient to provide 
anticipated distributions to the Limited Partners for the entire year. The 
Partnership may borrow funds from the General Partner to provide cash for 
distributions to Limited Partners but it is not anticipated that such 
borrowing will occur.

It is not anticipated that the Partnership will acquire additional 
properties or additional interests in joint ventures which own properties. 
During the holding period of the properties, cash flow from operations is 
expected to contribute to the liquidity of the Partnership as the 
Partnership's primary objective is to generate current income. Secondarily, 
the General Partner's intent is to realize an increased value for the 
properties at sale, thus enhancing the Partnership's ability to make surplus 
funds distributions to the Limited Partners upon such property sales.
