Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the Partnership's annual 1997 audited
consolidated financial statements within Form 10-K.

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include
all normal and reoccurring adjustments which are, in the opinion
of management, necessary to present a fair statement of financial
position as of June 30, 1998 and the results of operations for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, cash flows
for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 and the
consolidated statement of partners' capital for the six months
ended June 30, 1998.  Results of operations for the period are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
full year.

Reclassification  Certain prior year amounts have been
reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.

The Partnership's real estate assets, deferred rent receivable
and prepaid leasing costs were reclassified on the consolidated
balance sheets at June 30, 1998 to "Real estate assets held for
disposition."  Accordingly, the Partnership has suspended
depreciation and amortization in accordance with the Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be
Disposed Of" on July 1, 1998.

No significant events have occurred subsequent to fiscal year
1997, and no material contingencies exist which would require
disclosure in this interim report per Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01,
Paragraph (a)(5).



Part 1, Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
                    Condition and Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On September 18, 1995, Caldor, an anchor tenant at Cranberry
Mall, filed for protection under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.  In
February 1998, Caldor announced that it would close its store at
Cranberry, and did so on May 10, 1998.  In July 1998, Caldor
rejected its lease with bankruptcy court approval and the
Partnership's claim for unpaid rent and rejection damages under
Caldor's lease will be filed shortly.  The General Partner is
working to secure a new anchor tenant for Caldor's space,
although attracting a replacement anchor is likely to take time
and require substantial capital outlays by the Partnership to
fund alterations necessary to accommodate another tenant. In the
event that a new tenant is not secured, cash flow at the Property
will be reduced.

On July 7, 1997, Montgomery Ward, an anchor tenant at Cranberry
Mall filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy
Code.  On October 10, 1997, as part of its bankruptcy
reorganization process, Montgomery Ward announced the closing of
48 stores.  Although the Cranberry Mall store was not among those
scheduled to be closed, Montgomery Ward may in the future, with
court approval, choose to reject or accept the terms of its
lease.

During the second quarter of 1998, the Partnership engaged a
broker to market Cranberry Mall for sale. In view of the
anticipated sale of the Mall, the Partnership's real estate has
been recorded on the Partnership's June 30, 1998 balance sheet as
"Real estate assets held for disposition."  Real estate assets
held for disposition at June 30, 1998 totaled $39,389,583.
Efforts to sell the Mall, however, are likely to be impacted by
the uncertain status of Caldor's space and Montgomery Ward's
store, and there can be no assurance that the Mall will be sold
in 1998 or for a specified price.

At June 30, 1998, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents
totaling $11,050,912, compared with $9,600,824 at
December 31, 1997.  The increase is primarily due to net cash
provided by operating activities exceeding net cash used for
investing activities.

Deferred rent receivable decreased from $468,188 at
December 31, 1997 to $0 at June 30, 1998, due to the
reclassification of the Partnership's assets as "Real estate
assets held for disposition."

Prepaid expenses decreased from $410,908 at December 31, 1997 to
$88,140 at June 30, 1998.  The balance at June 30, 1998 reflects
eleven months of prepaid insurance, while the balance at
December 31, 1997 represents five months of prepaid insurance and
two quarters of prepaid real estate taxes.

Deferred charges, net of accumulated amortization, decreased from
$258,212 at December 31, 1997 to $995 at June 30, 1998, primarily
due to deferred charges relating to mortgage, organizational and
leasing costs in the amount of $240,790 being reclassified as
"Real estate assets held for disposition."

Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased to $128,859 at
June 30, 1998 from $104,995 at December 31, 1997, primarily due
to the timing of payments for administrative, audit and appraisal
fees.

Deferred income decreased from $507,574 at December 31, 1997 to
$327,832 at June 30, 1998, primarily due to differences in the
timing of billing tenants for their share of real estate taxes.

Other liabilities decreased to $80,899 at June 30, 1998 from
$111,042 at December 31, 1997, primarily due to the payment of
environmental damage expenses during the 1998 period which were
recorded in 1997.

Results of Operations

For the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, the Partnership
generated net income of $342,980 and $780,312, respectively,
compared to net losses of $940,690 and $659,818, respectively,
for the corresponding periods in 1997.  The changes from net loss
to net income primarily reflect the recognition in the 1997
periods of costs associated with the Settlement Agreement reached
with Aetna in August 1997
and environmental remediation which together totaled $900,000.
To a lesser extent, the change is due to decreases in property
operating expenses for the 1998 periods.

Escalation income represents the income received from Mall
tenants for their proportionate share of common area maintenance
and real estate tax expenses.  Escalation income totaled $671,728
and $1,373,389 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998,
respectively, largely unchanged from $664,919 and $1,342,660,
respectively, for the corresponding periods in 1997.

Interest income totaled $153,361 and $288,678 for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1998, respectively, compared with
$120,268 and $232,985, respectively, for the same periods in
1997.  The increases are due to the Partnership maintaining
higher average cash balances during the 1998 periods.

Property operating expenses totaled $470,245 and $903,457 for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1998, respectively, compared
with $813,434 and $1,294,669, respectively, for the corresponding
periods in 1997.  The decreases are primarily due to lower
general operating expenses including payroll expenses and common
area charges, and lower bad debt expenses associated with a
tenant at the property.

Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $343,704 and
$687,466 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998,
compared with $386,789 and $773,588, respectively, for the
corresponding periods in 1997.  The decreases are due to the
write-down of Cranberry to its estimated fair market value at
December 31, 1997.

General and administrative expenses for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1998 were $103,680 and $179,839, respectively,
compared with $104,720 and $230,064, respectively, for the same

lower legal expenses and a decrease in certain expenses incurred
by the General Partner, its affiliates, and an unaffiliated third
party service provider in servicing the Partnership.
