     Note 5.  Discontinued Operations:
              ----------------------- 

     The Partnership and Corporate Property Associates 4 ("CPA/(R)/:4"), an
     affiliate, own a hotel property in Kenner, Louisiana as tenants-in-common
     with 53.617% and 46.383% interests, respectively.  On April 17, 1996, the
     Investment Committee of the Corporate General Partners of the Partnership
     and CPA/(R)/:4 approved a proposal to transfer ownership of the hotel
     property to the operating partnership of a newly-formed real estate
     investment trust formed by an affiliate of American General Hospitality
     Corp. ("AGH"), the hotel management company which is currently engaged by
     the Partnership and CPA/(R)/:4 to manage the hotel property.  In exchange
     for the contribution of the hotel to the operating partnership, the
     Partnership and CPA/(R)/:4 will receive an equity interest in the operating
     partnership with an expected initial value of approximately $18,000,000, of
     which the Partnership's share would be approximately $9,650,000.  In
     addition, the operating partnership will assume the existing mortgage loan
     obligation on the property of approximately $7,365,000, of which the
     Partnership's share is currently approximately $3,950,000.  The value of
     the consideration received by the Partnership and CPA/(R)/:4 will be
     dependent upon the price of the stock issued by AGH in its initial public
     offering.  The Partnership and CPA/(R)/:4 purchased the property in June
     1988 for $17,500,000 (of which the Partnership contributed equity of
     approximately $4,020,000) including $10,000,000 of mortgage financing, and
     assumed operating control of the hotel in 1992 when they evicted the lessee
     due to its financial difficulties.

     The exchange transaction is subject to the ability of AGH to complete an
     initial public offering for the newly-formed real estate investment trust.
     It is intended that the exchange of the hotel property for securities
     initially be treated as a noncash exchange for tax and financial reporting
     purposes and that the Partnership retain the funds included in the hotel
     furniture, fixture and equipment reserves.  After one year, the Partnership
     will have the right to convert its equity interest in the operating
     partnership to shares of the publicly-traded real estate investment trust.
     The Partnership does not anticipate incurring any significant costs in
     connection with

     the proposed exchange.  In connection with the proposed transaction, the
     $9,111,232 carrying value of the hotel property has been reclassified as
     real estate held for sale.

     Note 6.  Properties leased to ASG Acquisition Corp.:
              ------------------------------------------ 

     The Partnership owns a 100% interest in a property in Olive Branch,
     Mississippi and a 26.43% interest as a tenant-in-common with Corporate
     Property Associates 9 ("CPA(R):9"), an affiliate, which owns the remaining
     interest in a property in Dekalb County, Georgia, which had been leased to
     ASG Acquisition Corp. ("ASG").  The Partnership and CPA(R):9 entered into
     litigation against Heller Financial, Inc. ("Heller"), a creditor of ASG,
     asserting that in 1992, the assets of ASG and certain subsidiaries were
     transferred to newly-formed operating companies controlled by Heller in
     lieu of foreclosure.  The newly-formed subsidiaries entered into short-term
     subleases for the properties.  The Partnership and CPA(R):9 informed Heller
     at that time that its actions were contrary to the lease, and, therefore,
     not permissible.  The Partnership's offer to allow the operating companies
     formed by Heller to assume the lease obligation and for Heller to provide a
     guaranty of the lease obligations was rejected.  The Partnership and
     CPA(R):9 also alleged that the subleases were made with the intent of
     defrauding the Partnership and CPA(R):9.

     On May 2, 1996, the Partnership and CPA(R):9 reached a settlement with
     Heller and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Amerisig, Inc. ("Amerisig"), the
     successor company to ASG.  Under the settlement agreement, all parties have
     agreed to mutual releases which will result in the withdrawal of all
     litigation among the parties.  New lease agreements were executed for both
     properties, and Amerisig executed a guaranty and suretyship agreement which
     unconditionally guarantees the lease obligations of both leases.

     The annual rent for the Olive Branch property will remain at the current
     amount of $980,643; however, rent increases based on a formula indexed to
     the Consumer Price Index ("CPI") have been replaced with stated increases
     in July 1998 and July 2003 to $1,078,707 and $1,186,578, respectively.  To
     the extent that interest expense on the new mortgage loan on the Olive
     Branch property, as described below, varies from what interest would have
     been on the retired loan, such difference will be applied as an adjustment
     to the Olive Branch rent.  In addition, Amerisig will relinquish its
     interest in a security deposit of $224,000 held by the Partnership.  The
     annual rent on the Dekalb property will remain at an amount equal to
     $797,011 (of which the Partnership's share is approximately $210,650) plus
     debt service on the mortgage loan; however, there will be no rent increases
     until January 2005.  The initial lease terms for the Olive Branch and
     Dekalb properties expire in 2008 and 2009, respectively, which were the
     expiration dates under the prior ASG leases.  Both leases provide Amerisig
     a purchase option which is exercisable upon 60 days written notice.  The
     exercise price for Olive Branch property is the greater of (i) the
     Partnership's purchase cost for the property (including the cost of any
     subsequent improvements) or (ii) fair market value as encumbered by the
     lease based on a discount rate of 10%.  The exercise price for the Dekalb
     property is the greater of (i) purchase cost or (ii) fair market value as
     encumbered by the lease.

     Also on May 2, 1996, the Partnership refinanced the existing mortgage loan
     of $3,901,431 on the Olive Branch property, which matured on May 1, 1996
     with a $4,000,000 limited recourse mortgage obligation collateralized by a
     deed of trust on the Olive Branch property and a lease assignment.  The
     loan provides for monthly principal payments $7,528 along with interest
     which is payable at an annual interest rate of the London Inter-

     Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 3% and matures in April 2001, at which
     time a balloon payment for the entire unpaid principal balance will be due.
     The lender has provided a commitment of up to $2,450,000 toward an
     expansion of the Olive Branch facility with the total costs of such
     expansion estimated to amount to $3,500,000.  The lender's commitment
     expires in June 1998.  The retired loan had been a recourse obligation of
     the Partnership.

     In addition, the lender which holds the note on the Dekalb property
     extended the maturity on that loan through April 2001.  The loan had been
     scheduled to mature in January 1997.  As restated, the loan provides for
     monthly principal installments of $12,234 along with interest payable at an
     annual rate of LIBOR plus 3%.  The loan currently has a balance of
     $6,397,435 (of which the Partnership's share is $1,690,842).

     Note 7.  Properties leased to Furon Company:
              ---------------------------------- 

     In January 1990, the Partnership and CPA(R):9 purchased nine properties as
     tenants-in-common with 32.28% and 67.72% ownership interests, respectively,
     and entered into a master lease with Furon Company ("Furon").  In August
     1993, the Partnership and CPA(R):9 consented to Furon's sublease of two
     properties in Liverpool and Twinsburg, Ohio to IER Industries, Inc. ("IER")
     through July 2007, the end of Furon's initial lease term.  In connection
     with consenting to the sublease, the Partnership granted IER a purchase
     option on the two subleased properties in consideration for an irrevocable
     payment of $75,000 (of which the Partnership's share was $24,210).  The
     $75,000 paid in 1993 would be credited to the IER's purchase price for the
     properties if the option were exercised.

     On February 15, 1996, IER notified the Partnership and CPA(R):9 that it was
     exercising its option and would seek to complete the purchase on or about
     July 8, 1996.  The sublease provides that the purchase price will be the
     greater of fair market value determined pursuant to an appraisal process or
     the sum of (i) $1,450,000 and (ii) any prepayment premium resulting from
     any mandatory prepayment to the lender on the mortgage loan collateralized
     by the nine Furon properties.  The appraisal process has been started;
     however, no determination has yet been made as to fair market value.  In
     the event that the properties are sold, the Partnership's share of Furon's
     rent will be reduced by $55,290.  In connection with the proposed
     transaction, the $420,798 carrying value of the Twinsburg and Liverpool
     properties has been reclassified as real estate held for sale.

     Note 8.  Properties leased Advanced System Applications, Inc.:
              ---------------------------------------------------- 

     The Partnership and Corporate Property Associates 7 ("CPA(R):7") own
     property in Bloomingdale, Illinois, as tenants-in-common with 66.36% and
     33.64% ownership interests, respectively which is leased to Advanced System
     Applications, Inc. ("ASA").  In July 1994 the Partnership and CPA(R):7
     entered into a lease modification agreement, annual rent increased to
     $5,200,000 (of which the Partnership's share is $3,450,000) from $1,850,000
     (of which the Partnership's share was $1,227,660).  In consenting to the
     modification, the mortgage loan payments were substantially increased so
     that the loan fully amortized on March 1, 1996.  Although ASA is obligated
     to make is lease payments through June 1997, it is in the process of
     vacating the property.  To the extent that the Partnership and CPA(R):7
     enter into new leases for any vacated space, ASA is entitled to one-third
     of all rentals received, net of any landlord costs, during the remaining
     term of its lease.

     On January 31, 1996, the Partnership and CPA(R):7 entered into a lease with
     the United States Postal Service (the "Postal Service") for approximately
     35% of the leasable space at the ASA property.  The lease has a 10-year
     term commencing May 1, 1996 with annual rentals of $722,800 (of which the
     Partnership's share will be $479,650), increasing to $822,800 after five
     years.  The Partnership and CPA(R):7 retain the obligation to provide
     maintenance and support services to the lessee.  The lease provides for
     rent escalations in 1998 based on increases in certain operating costs of
     the property incurred by the Partnership and CPA(R):7.  In addition, the
     Postal Service will reimburse the Partnership and CPA(R):7 for its pro rata
     share of real estate taxes.  The Postal Service has an option to terminate
     the lease after five years and right of first refusal on space vacated by
     ASA.

     The Partnership and CPA(R):7 will provide the Postal Service a tenant
     improvement allowance of up to $600,000 (of which the Partnership's share
     is $398,160).

                Item 2. - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF OPERATIONS
                -----------------------------------------------


     Results of Operations:
     --------------------- 

          Both net income and income from continuing operations for the three-
     month period ended March 31, 1996 reflected substantial increases in
     earnings as compared with the prior year.  The 17% increase in income from
     continuing operations was due to an increase in lease revenues and
     decreases in interest and general and administrative expenses.  The
     increase in lease revenues was due to the July 1995 rent increase on the
     Detroit Diesel Corporation lease and the March 1995 restructuring of the
     Partnership's lease with United Stationers Supply Co., at which time an
     annual rent increase of $177,000 was negotiated.  The decrease in interest
     expense was due to the full amortization in March 1996 of the mortgage loan
     collateralized by the Advanced System Applications, Inc. ("ASA") property.
     The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to
     lower estimates for partnership level state franchise taxes.  The benefit
     from the increase in lease revenues and decreases in interest and general
     and administrative costs was partially offset by an increase in property
     expenses.  Such increase was primarily due to certain costs incurred in
     connection with extending the Partnership's lease with Allied Plywood, Inc.
     ("Allied"), for an additional five years through 2002.  Allied is a lessee
     of a property formerly leased to NV Ryan, L.P..

          Income from the hotel operation, which the Partnership has made formal
     plans to dispose of, increased by 6%.  The increase was entirely due to an
     increase in revenues as hotel operating expenses were unchanged for the
     comparable periods.  The hotel realized the revenue increase even though
     the occupancy rate for the quarter decreased by 2%.  Higher average room
     rates were realized as a result of the hotel's ability to increase rates
     and changes in usage.  In 1996, corporate rates represented 39% of
     available rooms versus 34% in 1995, while group business decreased to 11%
     from 19% of available rooms.  This change in usage was beneficial to
     earnings as the average room rate for corporate business is substantially
     higher than the rates negotiated by groups.

     Financial Condition:
     ------------------- 

          There has been no material change in the Partnership's financial
     condition since December 31, 1995.  The Partnership's cash provided from
     operations and equity investments was sufficient to fund distributions to
     partners and pay scheduled mortgage principal payments.

          The Partnership will benefit from its agreements with Amerisig, Inc.
     ("Amerisig") whereby the Partnership and Amerisig have resolved their
     differences resulting in the withdrawal of all outstanding litigation.  In
     connection with the settlement, short-term subleases, which the Partnership
     asserted were not permissible, were eliminated.  Amerisig has provided an
     unconditional guarantee of the leases that had been provided by its
     predecessor company.  In addition, the Partnership was able to refinance a
     mortgage loan that had matured on one of the Amerisig properties and extend
     a mortgage loan on  the other Amerisig property which had been scheduled to
     mature in 1997.  Both loans, which are limited recourse obligations, are
     now scheduled to mature in 2001.  The matured loan had been a recourse
     obligation of the Partnership.  The Partnership has a commitment for up to
     $3,500,000 to fund an expansion of the Amerisig facility in Olive Branch,
     Mississippi by no later than March 1998, with up to $2,450,000 of such
     funding to be provided by limited recourse mortgage financing.

          The Partnership will benefit from the commencement in May 1996 of the
     Partnership's lease with the United States Postal Service (the "Postal
     Service") and the satisfaction of the ASA loan.  Annual rent from the
     Postal service lease will be approximately $480,000 before operating costs;
     however, until June 1997, the Partnership is obligated to share one-third
     of Postal Service rentals, net of expenses, with ASA in lieu of reducing
     ASA's rent for relinquishing its space.  With the satisfaction of the ASA
     loan, the Partnership's annual cash flow will increase by approximately
     $2,650,000 until the expiration of the ASA lease in June 1997.  Based on
     current cash balances, the Partnership has the ability to fully fund from
     cash reserves its 398,000 tenant improvement allowance for the Postal
     Service and other costs which may be necessary to retrofit the ASA property
     for multi-tenant use.

           Item 2. - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF OPERATIONS, Continued
           ----------------------------------------------------------



     Financial Condition (continued):
     ------------------------------- 


          If the exchange of the Kenner, Louisiana hotel property and related
     assumption of the mortgage loan obligation for equity interests in the
     operating partnership of a real estate investment trust is completed, the
     Partnership would expect to receive a relatively stable cash flow from such
     investment as the objective of the real estate investment trust and the
     underlying partnership is to distribute at least 95% of its taxable income
     so that it can maintain its tax status as a real estate investment trust.
     With this investment, the Partnership will eliminate the uncertainty
     related to operating a hotel business with a single hotel and replace such
     uncertainty with a stable cash flow from the operating partnership's
     distributions which comprise of the operation of many hotels which are
     initially estimated to be approximately $825,000 annually.  Although cash
     flow from the hotel operations when combined with debt service on the
     property mortgage was approximately $1,150,000 in 1995, the Partnership
     funded improvements of nearly $1,000,000 in the prior year.  Funding major
     capital improvements at the hotel property are needed to remain
     competitive; therefore, if ownership of the hotel were retained, the
     Partnership would be required to use funds for additional improvements in
     the future.  Accordingly, cash flow from the hotel could vary significantly
     from year to year.  The Partnership  had operated the hotel since 1992,
     subsequent to evicting the lessee.  At that time, the Partnership's
     objectives were to generate positive cash flow from the hotel operation and
     enhance the underlying property value.  If the proposed transaction is
     consummated, the Partnership may realize these objectives of having
     enhanced the property's value.
