                                     PART I

ITEM 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Brunner Companies Income Properties L.P. I (the "Registrant" or "Partnership")
is a Delaware limited partnership formed in February 1988. The Partnership will
continue in existence until December 31, 2008, unless earlier dissolved or
terminated. Brunner Management Limited Partnership (the "General Partner"), an
Ohio limited partnership formed in February 1988, is the sole general partner of
the Partnership. 104 Management, Inc. (the "Managing General Partner"), an Ohio
corporation formed in February 1988, is the sole general partner of the General
Partner, and in that capacity manages the business of the Partnership.

Commencing June 10, 1988, the Partnership offered through The Ohio Company up to
552,000 Units of Class A Limited Partnership Interests at $10 per unit
("Units"). Holders of Units are referred to as "Unitholders". An additional
61,333 units of Class B Limited Partnership Interests were issued by the
Partnership to certain affiliates of the Managing General Partner as a part of
the purchase price for an undivided interest in each retail center equivalent to
a then fair market value of $613,330 ("Subordinated Interest"). Holders of
Subordinated Interests are referred to as "Subordinated Limited Partners", and
Unitholders and Subordinated Limited Partners are collectively referred to as
"Limited Partners". Limited Partners are not required to make any additional
capital contributions. There are only two differences between the Class A and
Class B limited partnership interests. First, the holders of Class A units are
entitled to receive their Class A Priority Return before the holders of Class B
units are entitled to receive any portion of their Class B Priority Return.
Second, holders of Class B units, if such holders are affiliates of the General
Partner, are not entitled to vote upon the removal of the General Partner or
upon consideration of a sale of any Retail Center to the General Partner or any
affiliate of the General Partner.

The offering terminated on July 12, 1988. Upon termination of the offering, the
Partnership had accepted subscriptions for 552,000 Units and 61,333 Units of
Subordinated Interests for aggregate gross proceeds of $6,133,330. The
Partnership invested substantially all of the net offering proceeds in the
investment properties (the "Retail Centers"). The Partnership will not acquire
nor invest in any other properties or debt or equity securities of any other
issuers (other than short term investments of cash in high grade United States
government obligations during interim periods between the receipt of revenues
and the distribution of cash to the Limited Partners and pending payment of
operating expenses of the Partnership) and will not issue any additional limited
partnership interests or other equity securities in the Partnership. The
policies of the Partnership noted above can only be changed by an affirmative
vote of limited partners owning a majority in interest and the General Partner.

The General Partner and the Managing General Partner are affiliates of a related
group of corporations and partnerships engaged generally in the real estate
development business. Pursuant to an agreement effective December 31, 1992,
IBGP, Inc., an affiliate of Insignia Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia"),
acquired a majority of the outstanding stock of 104 Management Inc. on March 5,
1993. IBGP, Inc. was an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Metropolitan Asset
Enhancement, L.P. ("MAE"), an affiliate of Insignia. Both IBGP, Inc. and
Insignia Brunner, L.P. were affiliates of Metropolitan Asset Enhancement, L.P.
104 Management, Inc. is the managing general partner of Brunner Management
Limited Partnership, which is the general partner of the Registrant. On November
17, 1998, BCIP I & III, LLC purchased 104 Management, Inc. from IBGP, Inc. and
thereby acquired the general partnership interest in Brunner Management Limited
Partnership. BCIP I & III, LLC also purchased the limited partnership interest
in Brunner Management Limited Partnership and all of the outstanding Class B
Limited Partnership units of the Partnership and Brunner Companies Income
Properties L.P. I, an affiliated entity, from Insignia Brunner, L.P.

The Partnership is in the business of owning and operating three Retail Centers:
Georgetown Landing, Georgetown, South Carolina; White Horse Plaza, Greenville,
South Carolina; and Hitchcock Plaza, Aiken, South Carolina. See "Item 2.
Description of Properties" for additional information regarding the Retail
Centers. The real estate business is highly competitive. The Partnership's real
property investments are subject to competition from similar types of properties
in the vicinities in which they are located, and the Partnership is not a
significant factor in its industry. In addition, various limited partnerships
and limited liability companies have been formed by related parties to engage in
businesses which may be competitive with the Partnership.

The Partnership has no employees. Management and administrative services are
performed by affiliates of BCIP I & III, LLC. The property manager is
responsible for the day-to-day operations of each property. The Managing General
Partner has also selected affiliates of BCIP I & III, LLC to provide real estate
advisory and asset management services to the Partnership. As advisor, such
affiliates provide partnership accounting and administrative services,
investment management, and supervisory services over property management and
leasing. For a further discussion of property and partnership management, see
"Item 12", which descriptions are herein incorporated by reference.

There have been, and it is possible there may be, other federal, state and local
legislation and regulations enacted relating to the protection of the
environment. The Partnership is unable to predict the extent, if any, to which
such new legislation or regulations might occur and the degree to which such
existing or new legislation or regulations might adversely affect the properties
owned by the Partnership.

In certain cases environmental testing has been performed, which resulted in no
material adverse conditions or liabilities. In no case has the Partnership
received notice that it is a potentially responsible party with respect to an
environmental clean up site.

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

The following table sets forth the Partnership's investments in properties:

White Horse Plaza                       7/12/88        Fee ownership, subject to       Retail Center
  Greenville, South Carolina                           to first mortgage                166,000 sf
Georgetown Landing                      7/12/88        Fee ownership, subject          Retail Center
  Georgetown, South Carolina                           to first mortgage                50,000 sf
</TABLE>

A significant feature of all the Retail Centers is the fact that approximately
73% of the leasable space is, in the aggregate, leased to anchor tenants with
national or regional name recognition. Although such anchor tenants generally
pay lower base rents than smaller tenants, anchor tenants offer greater security
and stability of long-term leases from well-established and more credit-worthy
tenants and tend to attract greater traffic to the retail centers.

Two major anchor tenants at White Horse Plaza have vacated their space.
Wal-Mart Stores ("Wal-Mart") continues to honor its lease obligation.
Winn-Dixie Charlotte, Inc ("Winn-Dixie") has ceased to pay. The Company is
pursuing legal action against Winn-Dixie as further described in Item 3 -- Legal
Proceedings.

(1)      On December 29, 1999, the Partnership and, New York Life Insurance
Company (the "Lender") entered into a Loan Modification Agreement, effective May
10, 1999, to extend the maturity dates of the mortgage notes to May 10, 2000.
During the extension period, the mortgage notes bear interest at the rate of 7%
per annum and the Partnership is required to make monthly payments of principal,
interest and escrow of $131,261. Additionally, the Partnership is required to
make quarterly payments of net cash flow, as defined, into a separate escrow
account controlled jointly by the Lender and Partnership. See "Liquidity and
Capital Resources" below.

(2)      The mortgages require a balloon payment at maturity for the remaining
principal balance. These notes are cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted and
are secured by the properties and by a pledge of revenues from the respective
properties.

</TABLE>

Rental rates per square foot are based on rental income only. Average annual
occupancy is based on physical occupancy and does not include tenants which have
vacated space but continue to pay rent.

As noted under "Item 1. Description of Business", the real estate industry is
highly competitive. All of the properties of the Partnership are subject to
competition from other retail centers in the area. The Managing General Partner
believes that all of the properties are adequately insured.

Both major anchor tenants at Whitehorse Plaza, Wal-Mart and Winn-Dixie, have
vacated their space. Wal-Mart is currently honoring its lease obligation.
Winn-Dixie ceased paying rent in June of 1999. The Partnership has taken legal
action against Winn-Dixie to enforce its lease. The Wal-Mart and Winn-Dixie
leases both expire in 2006. See Item 3 -- Legal Proceedings.

SCHEDULE OF REAL ESTATE TAXES (IN THOUSANDS) AND RATES:

1999 real estate taxes paid directly by the Partnership for 1999, which are
included in expenses and in income to the extent reimbursed by tenants, were as
follows:

Georgetown Landing                37                      1.96%
</TABLE>

For 1999 the partnership paid 80% of the White Horse Plaza property taxes and
filed an appeal for reduction of the assessed valuation. The appeals were
favorably settled in 2000.

Three tenants are responsible for payment of their real estate taxes directly to
the taxing authorities. These amounts are not included in Partnership income or
expenses. Real estate taxes paid directly by tenants in 1999 were as follows:

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Partnership is presently involved in litigation in the state courts of
Georgia and South Carolina with Winn-Dixie concerning collection of past due and
future rent under Winn-Dixie's lease at Whitehorse Plaza. Winn-Dixie vacated
the property and in June 1999 discontinued paying rent as called for in its
lease agreement. Management believes that Winn-Dixie's lease obligation, which
extends through August 2006, is enforceable. Rental income in future periods
will be substantially less than 1999 until this space is re-leased.

The partnership has set up an allowance for uncollectable rent for the past due
Winn-Dixie rent. At December 31, 1999, the allowance related to Winn-Dixie was
$107,018. For future periods, the allowance will increase by $19,458 per month
until this matter is resolved.

The Managing General Partner is aware of no additional significant pending or
outstanding litigation that would have a material adverse effect upon the
business, financial condition, or operations of the Partnership.

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, no matters were submitted to a
vote of the Unitholders through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise.

PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR PARTNERSHIP EQUITY AND RELATED PARTNER MATTERS

As of December 31, 1999, the number of holders of record of Limited Partnership
Units and Subordinated Interest Units was 429 and one, respectively. Neither the
Limited Partnership Units nor the Subordinated Interest Units are traded on any
established public trading market, and it is not anticipated that such a market
will develop in the future. See "Item 11. Security Ownership of Certain
Beneficial Owners and Management."

No cash distributions were paid during 1999 or 1998. Future distributions will
depend on the levels of cash generated from operations, refinancings, property
sales and the availability of cash reserves. At this time, the Managing General
Partner does not anticipate making cash distributions during 2000.

In March of 2000 the Company received notice that a tender offer from an outside
party to purchase Limited Partnership Units had been offered to the Unitholders.
The Partnership responded that it remained neutral and had no recommendation
concerning this matter.

Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations

Results of Operations  - 1999 vs. 1998

The Partnership realized a net loss of $65,000 in 1999 compared to $80,000 for
1998. Rental income declined 11% in 1999 as compared to 1998. Total expenses
decreased 10%. The decline in rental income was due to a charge of $233,000 to
the allowance for uncollectable receivables and increased vacancies at
Whitehorse Plaza. The decrease in expenses is primarily due to an increase in
operating expenses of $62,000 offset by a reduction in interest expense of
$343,000. Interest expense decreased due to a loan modification agreement
negotiated by management in December 1998, which reduced the interest rate of
the Partnership's three mortgage notes payable from 9% to 7% beginning October
10, 1998 through May 10, 1999. This agreement was subsequently extended to May
10, 2000.

Rental income includes all rent and reimbursements from tenants including taxes
and common area maintenance costs less any charges for uncollectable
receivables. Common area maintenance costs are included as operating expenses.

During 1999 Georgetown Landing and Hitchcock Plaza had average annual occupancy
rates of 100% and 92%, respectively. Whitehorse Plaza had an average annual
occupancy rate of 43%. An anchor tenant of White Horse Plaza, Wal-Mart, vacated
its 81,922 feet in January 1999 and moved across the street into a newer center.
Wal-Mart continues to pay its monthly rent as required by its lease. However,
in June 1999, the remaining anchor tenant in Whitehorse Plaza, Winn Dixie,
vacated its space and ceased paying rent. See Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

Lack of an anchor tenant will significantly impact the ability of Whitehorse
Plaza to attract and keep new tenants. Several of the remaining Whitehorse Plaza
tenants' monthly rentals have been reduced and converted to calculating rent
based on a percentage of sales, per clauses in their leases, due to the
departure of the anchor tenant. The vacancy rate at Whitehorse Plaza remains
high and is not expected to improve until a new anchor tenant is located. For
2000, legal fees are expected to increase significantly as the Partnership
pursues collections from the Whitehorse Plaza past due tenants.

Also, during 1999, the Partnership received $52,781 of override percentage of
sales rent from Wal-Mart based on 1998 sales, which will not recur in future
periods since Wal-Mart has vacated its space.

As part of the ongoing business plan of the Partnership, the Managing General
Partner monitors the rental environment of each of its investment properties to
assess the feasibility of increasing rents, maintaining or increasing occupancy
levels, and protecting the partnership from the burden of inflation-related
increases in expenses by increasing rents and maintaining a high occupancy
level. However due to changing market conditions, which can result in the use of
rental concessions and rental reductions to offset softening market conditions,
there is no guarantee that the Managing General Partner will be able to sustain
such a plan.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Partnership is highly leveraged and is in default on its original loan
agreements with the Lender. All three loans are cross-collateralized and
cross-defaulted. No cash flow is available for other than usual and routine
partnership operating expenses without the express permission of the Lender.

Under the covenants of its agreements with the Lender, within fifteen (15) days
following the end of each calendar quarter, the Partnership is required to
deposit all 'Net Cash Flow', as defined, into an account at a commercial bank
controlled jointly by the lender and Partnership, (the "Escrow Account") and to
submit written quarterly reports to the Lender, certified as to correctness by
an officer of the Partnership. Escrow Account funds are to be paid only for
tenant improvements, leasing commissions, capital improvements and/or debt
service shortfall as approved by the lender. Under the Partnership's loan
covenants, escrow cash is restricted and not available for payment to the
General or Limited Partners. Escrow Account cash at December 31, 1999 was
$561,000.

The Partnership held cash of $426,000 at December 31, 1999 as compared to
$480,000 at December 31, 1998. The Company's three mortgage loans mature in
full on May 20, 2000. The Lender may call the mortgage notes payable for full
repayment upon 15 days notice at any time. Should the Lender and the
Partnership not agree to a loan extension agreement, then the Partnership would
be forced to seek additional capital, sell assets, liquidate or surrender its
properties to the lender. There can be no assurance that debt restructuring
will continue to occur or that management will be able to raise sufficient
additional capital that will allow the Partnership to continue its operations
in its present form. Negotiations concerning restructuring the debt of the
three properties may also be influenced by changes in market interest rates and
other factors outside the control of management.

On December 29, 1999, effective May 10, 1999, the Partnership entered into a
loan modification agreement with the Lender to extend the maturity date of its
existing three loans to May 10, 2000 with interest accruing at 7%. Monthly
payments of principal and interest totaling $111,240 and monthly escrow payments
of $20,021 for a total of $131,261 are required under the agreement.

No cash distributions were made in 1999 or 1998. At present no future
distributions are expected.

Year 2000

The Partnership processes its records on computer hardware systems maintained by
Hull/Storey Development, LLC ("Hull/Storey"), the management company retained by
the General Partner of the partnership. The systems used by Hull/Storey are Year
2000 compliant. The Company experienced no Year 2000 related problems.

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


The Partners
BRUNNER COMPANIES INCOME PROPERTIES L.P. I

         We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of BRUNNER COMPANIES
INCOME PROPERTIES L.P. I (the Partnership) as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and
the related statements of operations, changes in partners' capital (deficit) and
cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

         We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the
Partnership's management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

         In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BRUNNER COMPANIES
INCOME PROPERTIES L.P. I as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of
its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

         The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Partnership will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note I to the
financial statements, the Partnership's mortgage notes payable matured in
October of 1998. The Partnership received an initial extension from its lenders
which expired May, 1999. On December 29, 1999, the Partnership and its lenders
entered into a loan modification agreement extending the maturity date to May
2000. The Partnership's continued ability to operate is dependent on its ability
to either restructure its existing debt or raise additional capital.

                                      13
<PAGE>   14




These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Partnership's ability to
continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding these matters are also
described in Note I. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


ORGANIZATION
         Brunner Companies Income Properties L.P. I (the "Partnership") is a
         Delaware limited partnership formed on February 29, 1988 for the
         purpose of acquiring and operating the following retail centers:
         Hitchcock Plaza, in Aiken, South Carolina; White Horse Plaza, in
         Greenville, South Carolina; and Georgetown Landing, in Georgetown,
         South Carolina (collectively referred to as the "Retail Centers"). The
         seller of these Retail Centers was related to the then general
         partners of the Partnership.

         The Partnership's term of existence expires December 31, 2008, unless
         it is earlier dissolved and terminated pursuant to the provisions of
         the partnership agreement.

         The general partner of the Partnership is Brunner Management Limited
         Partnership ("General Partner"). The General Partner is an Ohio
         limited partnership whose general partner is 104 Management, Inc.
         ("Managing General Partner"). From March 5, 1993 until November 17,
         1998, the majority of the outstanding stock of 104 Management, Inc.
         was held by IBGP, Inc., an affiliate of Insignia Financial Group, Inc.
         Prior to November 17, 1998, IBGP, Inc. effectively controlled the
         Managing General Partner of the Partnership.

         On November 17, 1998, BCIP I & III, LLC, (a Georgia limited liability
         company and an affiliate of Hull/Storey Development, LLC) purchased
         all of the outstanding stock of 104 Management, Inc. and thereby
         acquired the general partnership interest in Brunner Management
         Limited Partnership. BCIP I & III, LLC also purchased all of the
         outstanding Class B Limited Partnership units of the Partnership. As a
         result of this transaction, BCIP I & III, LLC effectively controls the
         Managing General Partner of the Partnership.

USE OF ESTIMATES
         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
         accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
         and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
         statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from
         those estimates.


                                                                    (Continued)

NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
         The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments with a
         maturity, when purchased, of three months or less to be cash
         equivalents as well as operating cash held by the real estate
         management company on behalf of the Partnership's individual
         properties. At certain times, the amount of cash deposited at a bank
         may exceed the limit on insured deposits.

         The Partnership records as an allowance for doubtful accounts 100% of
         receivables over ninety days old, 50% of receivables over sixty but
         less than ninety-one days old and 100% of receivables from former
         tenants. The Partnership's allowance for doubtful accounts for the
         years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 was $322,000 and $28,000,
         respectively.

RESTRICTED CASH IN ESCROW
         The Partnership is required to make quarterly payments of net cash
         flow, as defined, into a separate escrow account controlled jointly by
         the lender and the Partnership. These funds are to be used only for
         tenant improvements, leasing commissions, capital improvements and/or
         debt service shortfall as approved by the lender.

LEASE COMMISSIONS
         Lease commissions are capitalized and are amortized by the
         straight-line method over the term of the applicable lease. Lease
         commissions of approximately $125,000, net of accumulated amortization
         of approximately $60,000, are included in other assets.

LOAN COSTS
         Loan costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of
         the respective loans. As of December 31, 1998, loan costs have been
         fully amortized.

TENANT SECURITY DEPOSITS
         The Partnership requires security deposits from lessees for the
         duration of the lease. The security deposits are refunded when the
         tenant vacates, provided the tenant has not damaged its space and is
         current on its rental payments.

INVESTMENT PROPERTIES
         Investment properties are stated at cost less reductions for permanent
         impairments. Acquisition fees are capitalized as a cost of real
         estate. The Partnership records impairment losses on long-lived assets
         used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the
         assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to
         be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts of
         those assets.

                                                                    (Continued)

NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED

DEPRECIATION
         Buildings and improvements are depreciated on the straight-line basis
         over an estimated useful life of 5 to 31.5 years. Tenant improvements
         are depreciated over the term of the applicable leases.

         For Federal income tax purposes, the Partnership depreciates a portion
         (89 percent attributable to non tax-exempt investors) of the
         property's basis using the straight-line method over thirty-one and
         one-half years and the balance (11 percent attributable to tax-exempt
         investors) using the straight-line method over forty years.

ADVERTISING
         The Partnership expenses the costs of advertising as incurred.

LEASES
         The Partnership leases certain commercial space to tenants under
         various lease terms. For leases with fixed rental increases during
         their term, rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the
         terms of the leases. For all other leases, rents are recognized over
         the terms of the leases as earned.

INCOME TAXES
         No provision has been made in the financial statements for Federal
         income taxes because under current law, no Federal income taxes are
         paid directly by the Partnership. The Partners are responsible for
         their respective share of Partnership net income or loss.

FAIR VALUE
         The Partnership believes that the carrying amount of its financial
         instruments (except for long-term debt) approximates their fair value
         due to the short term maturity of these instruments. The fair value of
         the Partnership's long term debt, after discounting the scheduled loan
         payments, based on estimated borrowing rates currently available to
         the Partnership, approximate its carrying balance.

RECLASSIFICATIONS
         Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1998 information to
         conform to the 1999 presentation.

(1)   On December 29, 1999, the Partnership and the lender entered into a loan
      modification agreement, effective May 10, 1999 to extend the maturity
      dates of the mortgage notes to May 10, 2000. During the extension period,

      Partnership is required to make monthly payments of principal, interest
      and escrow of $131,261. Additionally, the Partnership is required to make
      quarterly payments of net cash flow, as defined, into a separate escrow
      account controlled jointly by the Lender and the Partnership.

(2)  The mortgages require a balloon payment at maturity for the remaining
     principal balance. These notes are all cross-collateralized and
     cross-defaulted and are secured by the properties and by a pledge of
     revenues from the respective properties.

NOTE D - OPERATING LEASES

         Tenants are responsible for their own utilities, maintenance of their
space, and payment of their proportionate share of common area maintenance,
utilities, insurance and real estate taxes. Real estate taxes, insurance, and
common area maintenance expenses are paid directly by the Partnership. The
Partnership is then reimbursed by the tenants for their proportionate share.
The expenses paid by the Partnership are included in the accompanying
statements of operations as property taxes and operating expenses. Amounts
reimbursed by the tenants are included in rental income.

NOTE I - CONTINGENCIES, LITIGATION, AND GOING CONCERN

         During 1999, Wal-Mart, a major tenant at White Horse Plaza vacated the
premises. Wal-Mart's lease, and resulting rental obligations under the lease,
do not expire until October 31, 2006. The General Partner expects Wal-Mart to
honor its obligations under its lease, however this vacancy may impact
occupancy for the remainder of the property. Also during 1999, four additional
tenants, leasing a total of 11,150 square feet in the property, or
approximately 7% of the property's total square feet, terminated their leases
and vacated the property. In addition, a tenant which leases 35,922 square
feet, or approximately 22% of the property's total square feet, stopped
honoring its contractual lease obligations, including payment of rent. The
Managing General Partner intends to actively pursue the Partnership's legal
remedies to require this tenant to comply with its contractual lease
obligations. However, the Partnership has reserved uncollected past due rent
from these former tenants.

         The cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted loans on Hitchcock Plaza,
White Horse Plaza, and Georgetown Landing matured in October 1998. The
Partnership received an initial extension from its lenders which expired May
1999. On December 29, 1999, the Partnership and lender entered into a loan
modification agreement to extend the maturity dates of the mortgage notes to May
2000. During the extension period, the mortgage notes bear interest at the rate
of 7% per annum and the Partnership is required to make monthly payments of
principal, interest and escrow totaling $131,261. Additionally, the Partnership
is required to make quarterly payments of net cash flow, as defined, into a
separate escrow account controlled jointly by the Lender and Partnership. The
Partnership's continued ability to operate is dependent on its ability to either
restructure its existing debt or raise additional capital. To that end the
managing General Partner is attempting to extend or modify the mortgage notes,
negotiating alternative financing sources requiring additional capital
infusions, and evaluating the Partnership's alternatives. However, there can be
no assurance that debt restructuring will occur or additional capital will be
raised in a manner that allows the Partnership to continue its operations in its
present form.


NOTE J - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

                  $7,337.53);

            (d)   Unless sooner demanded as provided herein, all outstanding
                  principal together with accrued unpaid interest due under the

            (e)   The Borrower shall be entitled to prepay the Note in full at
                  par without fee or premium on a date which is designated by

                  prior to such date; and,

            (f)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Note or Loan
                  Documents, NYLIC shall have the right, at its sole option,

                  passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would
                  constitute such a default;

            (c)   upon execution of this Agreement, Borrower shall provide NYLIC

         7. Borrower and NYLIC agree that it is the intent of the parties that
the execution of this Agreement or any documents as contemplated by this

         2.       The Loan Documents are amended by deleting all references to
                  the maturity date of "May 10, 1999" and substituting in lieu

                  contemplated by this Agreement or the consummation of any
                  transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall constitute
                  a modification, restatement and renewal under the Loan and
                  shall not be construed as a novation.

         8.       By executing this Agreement, Borrower is reconfirming the
