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 June 30, 1995 and June 30, 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.

   Worthington Green 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 
cash on hand and short term securities, at June 30, 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 June 30, 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 six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, the Partnership was 
allocated $16,300 and $21,800, 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 revenue for NWDC for the second quarter of 1995 and the first 
six months of 1995 increased 7% and 6% respectively compared to the same 
periods in 1994.  This improvement was due primarily to an increase in 
rental rates since the property has been 100% occupied in both 1994 and 
1995.  Interest revenue has also doubled for both comparative periods due to 
rising short-term interest rates during the past year.  Depreciation and 
amortization expense increased over 40% during both comparative periods as a 
result of the capitalization of additional tenant improvements late in 1994.  
As a result of these and other smaller variances, the net income from 
operations increased 24% and 2% respectively for the second quarter and 
first six months of 1995 compared to the same periods in 1994.

The Partnership's share of Joint Venture income increased nearly 18% during 
the second quarter of 1995 compared to the second quarter of 1994 and nearly 
46% for the first six months of 1995 compared to the first six months of 
1994.

The largest contributor to this increase was the Minnetonka 225 property 
whose average occupancy improved to nearly 100% during the second quarter 
and first six months of 1995 from 60% during the same periods in 1994.  In 
addition, there were unusually high operating expense reimbursements paid to 
tenants in the first quarter of 1994.  These 1994 reimbursements primarily 
related to prior year property tax refunds received on the property in 1993.  
Depreciation and amortization expense increased over 50% in 1995 compared to 
1994 for both comparable periods due to capitalized improvement costs 
incurred to attract new tenants.  Despite the additional depreciation and 
amortization charges and a 20% increase in property taxes, the Partnership's 
share of joint venture income for this property increased to $8,000 for the 
second quarter of 1995 compared to $4,000 for the second quarter of 1994 and 
to $25,000 for the first six months of 1995 compared to a $1,000 loss for 
the first six months of 1994.

Gross rental revenue at Minnetonka 300/400 rose nearly 38% for the second 
quarter of 1995 compared to the second quarter of 1994 and 24% for the first 
six months of 1995 compared to the first six months of 1994.  However, this 
increased revenue was offset by significant increases in depreciation and 
operating expenses, primarily landscaping and interior repairs.  
Depreciation expense jumped due to capitalized roof replacement costs at 
Minnetonka 300 that were completed in December 1994.  As a result, the 
Partnership's share of joint venture income from Minnetonka 300/400 rose to 
only $15,000 during the second quarter of 1995 compared to $12,000 during 
the second quarter of 1994 and to $28,000 during the first six months of 
1995 compared to $27,000 during the first six months of 1994.

The Partnership's share of joint venture income from Worthington Green was 
$17,000 for the second quarter of 1995 compared to $18,000 for the second 
quarter of 1994 and increased slightly to $36,000 during the first six 
months of 1995 from $35,000 during the first six months of 1994.  There was 
little change in either gross rental revenues or property expenses during 
the periods under review.


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

The local bulk warehouse market is currently very favorable to owners and 
sellers.  Vacancy is below 5% in bulk buildings and average rent increases 
of nearly 5% are being obtained.  The property continues to be 100% occupied 
by two tenants.  The building will be painted during the 3rd quarter, and 
replacement of the retaining wall at the entrance to the property will also 
be completed.  No variances from budgeted capital repair costs are 
anticipated.

The Village at Worthington Green

Average leased occupancy at The Village was above 95% during the second 
quarter of 1995.  A new development located approximately 5 miles from The 
Village was introduced during early 1995, but has had little impact on the 
marketability of The Village despite offering rental concessions and greater 
amenities.  Due to pricing advantages, partial roof replacement and parking 
lot maintenance work will be completed during the third quarter.  All such 
capital expenditures are expected to be within budget.

Minnetonka Industrial Properties

The local office/warehouse market continues to improve, with overall vacancy 
less than 10%.  Rental rates have been increased, on average, nearly 4.5% 
over the last 12 months and further increases will be possible until 
additional properties are developed.  Currently, nearly 3.5 million square 
feet of space is under plan for development.  However, a large portion of 
this space is built-to-suit for single tenants and will not represent 
competition for the Fund's industrial holdings.

Minnetonka 225 is currently 100% leased, with the next lease expiration in 
January of 1996 for approximately 9,072 square feet.  We are currently 
working to extend this tenant's lease.  Roof repairs were necessary in early 
1995 as a result of partial roof failure.  Many buildings within the Twin 
Cities experienced roof problems during the spring of 1995 due to rapid 
freeze-thaw cycles.  The roof is scheduled to be replaced beginning in the 
third quarter of 1995.  The current estimate for the project is 
approximately $230,000.  Minnetonka 300 is currently 100% leased, with one 
tenant at the property presently under a month-to-month lease.  This tenant 
is paying 150% of market rent while searching for a building to purchase, 
which has also provided us the opportunity to locate a replacement tenant 
with minimal down time on the space.  At the close of the second quarter, 
Minnetonka 400 was 100% leased.  However, a tenant representing 22% of the 
property's square footage gave notice to terminate their lease as of July 1, 
1995.  The vacancy will be marketed and, as was originally anticipated, 
certain capital improvements to this space will be needed in order to make 
it marketable.  These improvements include roof replacement, which will 
commence during the third quarter at a cost of approximately $131,000.  

At June 30, 1995, the Partnership held cash and cash equivalents of 
$623,000.  The Partnership improved its cash position by $102,000 during the 
first six months as a result of net cash provided by operating activities of 
$221,000 and by investing activities of $9,000 offset by distributions to 
Partners of $128,000.

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 six months of 1995, the 
Partnership's share of capital expenditures was approximately $77,000.  An 
additional $204,000 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.
