                                     PART I
ITEM 1 - BUSINESS

         Atlantic Income Properties (the "Registrant" or the "Partnership") is a
North Carolina limited partnership organized as of March 30, 1988. The General
Partners of the Registrant are ISC Realty Corporation ("ISCR"), a North Carolina
corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Interstate/Johnson Lane, Inc., and
Chadsford Associates II ("Chadsford"), a North Carolina general partnership
whose partners are Lat W. Purser, III and Lat Purser & Associates, Inc. ("LPA").
ISCR and Chadsford shall hereinafter be collectively referred to as the "General
Partners". The Initial Limited Partner of the Registrant is Atlantic Income,
Inc., a North Carolina corporation.

         The Registrant's principal investment objectives are to own, hold,
operate, lease, sell, and otherwise deal in commercial real estate properties
(the "Properties") which offer the potential for (1) preservation and protection
of capital invested in the Registrant, (2) cash distributions from operations of
the Properties, (3) long term appreciation in value of the Properties, and (4)
protection for investors against inflation. As of December 31, 1996, the
offering proceeds and cash flow from operations have been used to: (i) acquire
and maintain Southwest Plaza in Roanoke, Virginia; Lincoln Center in Lincolnton,
North Carolina; Sangaree Plaza in Berkeley County, South Carolina; Rosewood
Shopping Center in Columbia, South Carolina; and West Ridge Plaza in Bristol,
Tennessee; (ii) make distributions to investors; and (iii) invest in short-term
investments.

         It is intended that the Registrant be self-liquidating and accordingly,
the net proceeds of any sale of any Property will be distributed to the
Investors.

         The Registrant terminated its Offering of beneficial unit certificates
effective on February 7, 1990, with the total number of BUCs subscribed being
508,594. Total gross proceeds from the offering were $10,174,012 and total net
proceeds to the Registrant equaled $8,880,362 after deducting organization and
offering expenses of $1,293,650.

         The real estate business is highly competitive, and the Partnership
competes with numerous established companies, real estate investment trusts and
other limited partnerships, some of which have greater assets than the
Partnership, and broader experience than the General Partners. Some of the
competitive factors which the Partnership may encounter from time to time
include a rising level of vacancies due to changes in supply or demand of
competing properties in an area, such as excess supply resulting from
competitive overbuilding and a decrease in rental rates due to an economic
slowdown.

         The General Partners or their affiliates currently serve as a general
partner in 19 public and private partnerships which currently own various types
of real property. None of the prior partnerships sponsored by the General
Partners now contemplate the acquisition of any additional properties due to all
public funds being fully invested. However, it is likely that the General
Partners or their affiliates will sponsor additional public or private
partnerships in the future. In addition, the General Partners and their
affiliates are and will continue to be engaged in the


                                        2


<PAGE>   3



business of real estate investment, development and management apart from their
involvement in the Registrant.

         The General Partners intend to devote only such time to the business of
the Registrant as in their judgment is reasonably required. The General Partners
are engaged in other similar activities which also require their time and
attention.

         As of December 31, 1996, the Registrant did not directly employ any
persons in a full-time position. Certain employees of the General Partners
performed services for the Registrant during such time.

ITEM 2 - PROPERTIES

         (a) Southwest Plaza

         Southwest Plaza Shopping Center is an 87,834 square-foot shopping
center situated on approximately 7.58 acres of land in Roanoke, Virginia.
Southwest Plaza is anchored by a 30,450 square-foot Harris-Teeter Supermarket
and a 7,000 square-foot Revco drug store. In addition, a 3,250 square-foot
Firestone Tire Center and Car Maintenance Shop is located on a 0.487 acre tract
of land separate from the Southwest Plaza Shopping Center but also owned by the
Registrant. As of March 10, 1997, the center was 95% occupied. Five leases
totaling 8,790 square feet will expire by December 31, 1997.

         The original $3,700,000 loan from Prudential Insurance Company of
America, secured by the center, had a five year-term, an interest rate of 9.75%.
and expired on September 15, 1993. An extension of the Southwest Loan was then
granted by the lender for a period of 36 months from April 15, 1994. As of March
10, 1997, the Registrant was negotiating an extension of this loan. Terms
include monthly principal and interest payments of $36,200 based upon an
approximately 14 year amortization and an interest rate of 8.4%. The balance of
the mortgage at December 31, 1996 was $3,206,993. At the closing, the
Partnership executed and delivered to the lender an agreement
cross-collateralizing and cross-defaulting the Southwest Plaza and Lincoln
Center loans.

         (b) Lincoln Center

         Lincoln Center, located in Lincolnton, North Carolina, is a 255,468
square-foot shopping center completed in March of 1989. The center includes a
44,454 square-foot Belk Department Store and a 132,200 square-foot Wal-Mart
Discount Store, neither of which are owned by the Registrant. Wal-Mart
originally occupied 65,390 square feet and expanded to 132,200 square feet in
the second half of 1995. The remaining 78,770 square feet owned by the
Registrant is anchored by a 33,302 square-foot Bi-Lo Supermarket, an 8,450
square-foot Revco Drug Store, and a 6,000 square-foot Cato clothing store. As of
March 10, 1997, occupancy at the Registrant's portion of the center was 98%.
There are no leases scheduled to terminate before December 31, 1997.

         The $3,000,000 loan from the Prudential Insurance Company of America,
secured by the center, expired April 15, 1994. The Registrant was granted a 36
month extension of the loan until April 15, 1997. As of March 10, 1997, the
Registrant was negotiating an extension of this loan. 




                                       3
<PAGE>   4

Monthly principal and interest payments increased to $29,800 based on an
approximately 14 year amortization with an interest rate of 8.4%. At the
closing, the Partnership executed and delivered to the lender an agreement
cross-collateralizing and cross-defaulting the Lincoln Center and Southwest
Plaza Shopping Center loans. The balance of the mortgage at December 31, 1996,
was $2,610,589.

         (c)  Sangaree Plaza

         Sangaree Plaza, a 58,948 square-foot shopping center located in
Berkeley County, South Carolina, is anchored by a 37,369 square-foot Bi-Lo
Supermarket and an 8,450 square-foot Revco Drug Store. The remaining spaces are
leased to local and regional tenants. The property was 97% leased as of March
10, 1997. There is one lease of 2,000 square feet expiring prior to December 31,
1997.

         Sangaree Plaza was acquired subject to a permanent mortgage loan from
Southern Farm Bureau Life Insurance Company with an original principal balance
of $1,750,000. A new loan which added $1,200,000 to the loan balance was granted
in conjunction with the Bi-Lo expansion and closed May 11, 1993. Loan terms are
a 9 1/8% interest rate, 25 year amortization and a five year term. The balance
of the mortgage at December 31, 1996, was $2,727,352.

         (d)  Rosewood Shopping Center

         Rosewood Shopping Center, a 55,087 square-foot shopping center located
in Columbia, South Carolina, is anchored by three major tenants: Rite Aid,
Advance Auto, and First Citizen's Bank and Trust Company. The anchor tenants
occupy a total of 14,600 square feet, or 25% of the net leasable area. Rite Aid
vacated its space in 1996 and moved to a free-standing location, however, they
have remained current on their lease payments and are obligated to do so until
November 10, 2000. As of March 10, 1997, the center was 97% occupied. Three
leases representing 4,600 square feet will expire by December 31, 1997.

         Rosewood is owned subject to a $1,500,000 permanent mortgage loan from
the Independent Life and Accident Insurance Company. The loan bears interest at
an annual rate of 9 7/8% and has a term of 27 years. The note is being repaid in
equal monthly payments of principal and interest of $13,499 amortized over the
remaining term of the loan ending October, 2016. The balance of the mortgage at
December 31, 1996, was $1,404,354.

         (e)  West Ridge Plaza

         West Ridge, a 140,985 square-foot shopping center situated on 14.372
acres of land in Bristol, Tennessee, is anchored by Wal-Mart, Food Lion, and
Revco, which occupy 79,900 square feet, 27,885 square feet, and 10,500 square
feet, respectively. In the aggregate, these tenants occupy 118,285 square feet
or 83.9% of the center's net leasable space. As of March 10, 1997, the center
was 98% leased and occupied. No leases are scheduled to expire prior to December
31, 1997.



                                       4
<PAGE>   5

         West Ridge Plaza was purchased subject to revenue bonds and was
refinanced in 1990. On January 5, 1990, the Registrant combined the net proceeds
of a $4,500,000 loan received from Provident National Assurance Company
("Provident") with Offering proceeds and deposited $5,750,650 in cash and
government securities with the Trustee of the Bonds, thereby causing the Bonds
to be deemed paid. Provident received a first lien Deed of Trust encumbering
West Ridge Plaza in consideration of making said loan. The Provident loan bears
interest at 9.6% per annum and had a term of five years which expired January 1,
1995. The lender granted two forbearance periods for a period of one year each,
the latest of which expired January 1, 1997. The lender has continued to accept
the normal monthly payment of principal and interest in the amount of $38,658.
The General Partners are optimistic that the lender will extend the maturity of
the note. The balance of the mortgage at December 31, 1996, was $4,301,417.

ITEM 3 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         In February, 1997, the Partnership filed a Complaint in the Court of
Common Pleas, State of South Carolina, County of Greenville, against Moovies of
the Carolinas, Inc. and John L. Taylor. The Partnership seeks a judgment in
excess of $20,000 for Breach of Lease Agreement, Conversion, Trespass, and
Breach of Guarantee. Additionally, the Partnership seeks an award of punitive
damages for Moovies' intentional conversion of the Partnership's personal
property and intentional trespass and damage to the Partnership's real property.
Additionally, the Partnership seeks trebled damages for Unfair and Deceptive
Trade Practices. Finally, the Partnership seeks that the costs of this action,
including the Partnership's attorney fees, be taxed to Moovies and Mr. Taylor.
The lawsuit is in the preliminary discovery stage. Neither Moovies nor Mr.
Taylor have asserted any claims against the Partnership and the Partnership
believes that its claims against Moovies and Mr. Taylor have merit.

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

         In December 1995, the limited partners were asked to approve the sale
of the properties at a minimum sales price of $22.5 million and to select a real
estate brokerage firm to be responsible for marketing the portfolio. The sale of
the portfolio at the minimum sales price was approved by the limited partners
and Lat Purser & Associates, Inc. was selected as the real estate broker
responsible for marketing the properties. The exclusive brokerage arrangement
with Lat Purser & Associates expired on September 30, 1996.

                                     PART II

ITEM 5 - MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S SECURITIES AND OTHER RELATED
         SECURITIES HOLDER MATTERS

         Transfer of the Registrant's Beneficial Unit Certificates ("BUCs") is
subject to certain restrictions contained in the Registrant's Limited
Partnership Agreement. There is no established market for the BUCs and it is not
anticipated that any will occur in the future. The Registrant is aware of no
significant resales of BUCs since the effective date of the Offering. As of
March 10, 1997, 638 investors were record owners of 508,594 BUCs.


                                       5

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The Registrant generated $1,091,165 of cash flow from operations during
the year ended December 31, 1996. Cash payments during the year ended December
31, 1996, for interest on the Registrant's outstanding long-term debt amounted
to $1,346,749. In addition, $399,033 of principal payments were made on loans.




                                       6
<PAGE>   7

         As of December 31, 1996, the Registrant held cash and cash equivalents
of $266,603. In addition, $94,699 was held in restricted cash accounts related
to tenant deposits and property tax escrows.

         It is the intent of the general partners to continue to market the
properties for sale in 1997. Correspondence soliciting the vote of the limited
partners for approval of a sale at a minimum price was sent in November 1995
(See Item 4 for further discussion). If the real estate brokers selected to
market the properties are successful in their attempts, the General Partners
anticipate the Partnership will be liquidated by the end of 1997.

Results of Operations.

COMPARISON OF THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996, TO THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 1995

         The Partnership reported net income of $134,508 for the year ended
December 31, 1996, as compared with net income of $306,231 for the year ended
December 31, 1995.

         Rental and reimbursement income for the year ended December 31, 1996,
decreased $47,869 from $3,147,608 for the year ended December 31, 1995, to
$3,099,739 for the year ended December 31, 1996. Base rental income and expense
recoveries generally were flat to slightly up at all five properties in 1996.
This was due to continued strong occupancy and normal rent and expense recovery
escalations at the properties. The main factor behind the decrease in total
revenue was a $66,000 decline in percentage rent received from Wal-Mart at West
Ridge Plaza. The reason for this decline was the loss of sales due to the
opening of a new Wal-Mart store approximately nine miles from the West Ridge
Plaza store. The long-term impact of the new Wal-Mart location on the existing
West Ridge Plaza store is uncertain. Wal-Mart's lease at West Ridge Plaza
expires November 12, 2004.

         Interest and other income increased from $45,260 for the year ended
December 31, 1995, to $49,609 for the year ended December 31, 1996. This
increase was due primarily to an increase in miscellaneous fees and charges
received at the properties.

         Interest expense decreased slightly from $1,348,940 for the year ended
December 31, 1995, to $1,344,491 for the year ended December 31, 1996. This
decrease was due to a greater amount of principal being amortized with each
monthly payment on all five mortgage notes.

         Depreciation and amortization decreased from $712,442 for the year
ended December 31, 1995, to $28,606 for the year ended December 31, 1996. This
decrease was due to the Partnership's adopting Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 121 in 1996. This statement, Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, requires the
Partnership to record a provision to write-down Partnership properties
to fair market value and to cease recording depreciation expense at the time the
properties began to be marketed for sale. As the properties began to be marketed
for sale as of January 1, 1996, the depreciation expense for 1996 under Standard
121 was $0. The $28,606 represents amortization 



                                       7

expense for 1996, primarily due to various capital improvements at the
properties and tenant upfitting costs.

         Other operating expenses increased $43,488 from $825,255 for the year
ended December 31, 1995, to $868,743 for the year ended December 31, 1996. This
increase was due largely to a $39,000 increase in lease commissions which was
primarily due to new and/or expanded tenants at Southwest Plaza and West Ridge
Plaza. In addition, maintenance and groundskeeping expenses were approximately
$15,000 higher, primarily due to unusually high snow removal costs at the
Southwest Plaza and West Ridge Plaza locations. Aside from these two categories,
other operating expenses of the Partnership for 1996 were generally in line with
or lower than the 1995 figures.

         Write-down of rental property increased from $0 for the year ended
December 31, 1995, to $773,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996. This
write-down was due to the current marketing of the Partnership's properties for
sale and the General Partner's opinion that the net sale prices for Rosewood
Shopping Center and West Ridge Plaza will be less than their respective net book
values. Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, this
adjustment is shown as an operating expense.

COMPARISON OF THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 TO THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 1994

         The Partnership reported net income of $306,231 for the year ended
December 31, 1995 as compared with $25,986 for the year ended December 31, 1994.

         Rental and reimbursement income for the year ended December 31, 1995
increased $172,868 from $2,974,740 for the year ended December 31, 1994 to
$3,147,608 in 1995. The increase is the result of the following fluctuations:
Percentage rent earned in 1995 increased approximately $21,000 as compared to
1994. Rental income increased approximately $28,000 at Southwest, $26,000 at
Lincoln, $18,000 at Sangaree Plaza, and $33,000 at Rosewood. All of these
increases in rental income were offset by a decrease in rental income at
Westridge of approximately $45,000. Common area maintenance ("CAM") expense
reimbursement increased a total of $77,515 during 1995 as compared to 1994. The
primary increase in CAM reimbursement was at Lincoln Center for $32,000 and at
Westridge in the amount of $29,000. In addition, the insurance reimbursement
income increased approximately $13,000 which was comprised of an increase of
$7,000 at Southwest, $3,000 at Lincoln Center, $7,000 at Sangaree, and $1,000 at
Rosewood; all were offset by a decrease of $4,000 at Westridge.

         Interest and other income increased from $20,319 for the year ended
December 31, 1994 to $45,260 for the year ended December 31, 1995. The
Partnership earned approximately $15,000 more in interest earned on cash
reserves held during 1995. The remaining $9,900 increase is an increase in
miscellaneous fees and charges received at the properties.

         Interest expense decreased from $1,410,109 for the year ended December
31, 1994 to $1,348,940 for the year ended December 31, 1995 due to a greater
amount of principal being amortized with each monthly payment on all five
mortgage notes.


                                       8
<PAGE>   9

         Depreciation and amortization increased approximately $54,000 in 1995
as compared to 1994 primarily due to a full year of amortization expense taken
in 1995 associated with the loan closing costs for Southwest and Lincoln Center
incurred in 1994.

         Other operating expenses decreased from $901,041 for the year ended
December 31, 1994 to $825,255 for the year ended December 31, 1995. The overall
decrease in operating expense was the result of a decrease in leasing
commissions of approximately $26,000, of which $18,000 was at Southwest Plaza
and $12,000 at Lincoln Center; these decreases were offset by an increase of
approximately $4,000 at Sangaree. Miscellaneous operating expense decreased
approximately $20,000 during 1995, of which $14,000 was the result of a decrease
at Westridge. In addition, repairs and maintenance and common area maintenance
expense decreased approximately $29,000 in 1995 as compared to 1994. Repairs and
maintenance expense decreased approximately $8,000 at Southwest and $11,000 at
Lincoln Center and common area maintenance expense decreased approximately
$10,000 at Westridge during 1995.

Inflation

         The Registrant's business is impacted by inflation in several ways.
Inflation permits possible increases in rental rates generally to reflect the
impact of higher operating and replacement costs. Continued inflation should
increase the value of the Registrant's real property over a period of time as
rental revenues and replacement costs continue to increase. The various debt
instruments used in the acquisition of certain of the Registrant's properties
are fixed-rate, with maturities ranging from less than 1 to 20 years. Therefore,
inflation will not affect the Registrant's financing activities until such time
as a refinancing may be desired or is required.

To Atlantic Income Properties Limited Partnership:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Atlantic Income Properties
Limited Partnership (a North Carolina Limited Partnership) as of December 31,
1996 and 1995, and the related statements of operations, partners' equity
(deficit) and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1996. These financial statements and the schedule referred to below
are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our
audits.

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
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 Atlantic Income Properties
Limited Partnership as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

During 1995, the general and limited partners voted to sell the rental
properties comprising the partnership (Note 7). In addition, the Partnership is
in default on the mortgage note secured by West Ridge Plaza, and the mortgage
notes secured by Southwest Plaza Shopping Center and Lincoln Center mature in
April 1997 (Note 3).

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial
statements taken as a whole. The schedule listed in the index to financial
statements and financial statement schedule is presented for purposes of
complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and is not a
required part of the basic financial statements. The schedule has been subjected
to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic financial
statements and, in our opinion, fairly states, in all material respects, the
financial data required to be set forth therein in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

                 ATLANTIC INCOME PROPERTIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995 AND 1994




1.  ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

ORGANIZATION

Atlantic Income Properties Limited Partnership (a North Carolina Limited
Partnership) (the Partnership) was formed on March 30, 1988, for the purpose of
developing, leasing and investing in commercial real estate properties located
primarily in the southeastern United States. ISC Realty Corporation and
Chadsford II Associates are the general partners. The Partnership will be
terminated upon the occurrence of certain events as defined in the limited
partnership agreement but, in any event, no later than December 31, 2028.

Beneficial Unit Certificates (BUCs) have been sold at $20 per BUC (508,594
units). The initial admission of investors to the Partnership occurred on August
1, 1988.

Under the terms of the partnership agreement, net loss of the Partnership is
allocated 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the general partners. Net income
of the Partnership is allocated 95% to the limited partners and 5% to the
general partners provided, however, that allocations and distributions to the
general partners are subordinated to a portion of a property management fee
payable to a general partner and to allocations and distributions to the limited
partners until the limited partners have received allocations and distributions
equal to a 9% cumulative noncompounded return on each limited partner's capital.
Accordingly, no distributions were made to the general partners during 1996,
1995 or 1994.

Upon the sale, refinance or disposition of the partnership property, the
partnership agreement specifies certain allocations of net proceeds and taxable
gain or loss from the transaction.

CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments with an original
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

RESTRICTED CASH

Restricted cash represents tenants' security deposits and funds restricted by
the general partner in the amount of $39,614 in 1996 and $73,478 in 1995 for
future property tax assessments and insurance.

RENTAL PROPERTIES

Rental properties are recorded at cost, including all related acquisition costs.
Depreciation on buildings and building improvements is computed for financial
statement purposes using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life
of 31.5 years.






                                      F-6

DEFERRED LOAN COSTS

Deferred loan costs were incurred in connection with obtaining the mortgage
loans and are being amortized over the term of the loans.

SYNDICATION AND OFFERING COSTS

Fees and expenses relating to the sale of limited partnership units paid to
affiliates of the general partners were charged against partners' equity. These
fees included various legal and accounting services, sales commissions and
supervisory fees equal to 12% of the gross proceeds from the offering.

INCOME TAXES

Under current income tax laws, income or loss of partnerships is included in the
income tax returns of the partners. Accordingly, no provision has been made for
federal or state income taxes in the accompanying financial statements.

The tax returns of the Partnership are subject to examination by federal and
state taxing authorities. If such examinations occur and result in changes with
respect to the Partnership's qualification or in changes to partnership income
or loss, the tax liability of the partners would be changed accordingly.

NET INCOME PER BENEFICIAL UNIT CERTIFICATE

Net income per BUC is calculated based on the weighted average number of units
outstanding during the period (508,594 in 1996, 1995 and 1994).

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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

During 1996, the Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed Of." As required by this statement, the Partnership
recorded a provision to write-down certain properties to estimated fair market
value (Note 2), and ceased recording depreciation expense on the properties
beginning at the time the partners voted to sell such properties (Note 7).

DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of
each class of financial instruments for which it is practical to estimate the
value:

         Cash and Cash Equivalents, Rents Receivable and Accounts Payable - The
         carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity
         of these instruments.

         Long-term Debt - The fair value of the Partnership's long-term debt
         approximates its carrying value.

2.  RENTAL PROPERTIES:

The Partnership acquired Southwest Plaza Shopping Center from an affiliate of
Chadsford II Associates effective August 1, 1988. The property is an 86,601
square foot shopping center located in Roanoke, Virginia. The property was
acquired for a purchase price of $5,380,000, excluding closing costs, which was
partially funded by a $3,700,000 mortgage note payable.

During 1989, the Partnership acquired four properties: (a) Lincoln Center,
Lincolnton, North Carolina, (b) Sangaree Plaza, Berkley County, South Carolina,
(c) Rosewood Shopping Center, Columbia, South Carolina, and (d) West Ridge
Plaza, Bristol, Tennessee.

Lincoln Center was acquired from an affiliate of Chadsford II Associates
effective April 6, 1989. The total facility consists of a 255,468 square foot
shopping center located in Lincolnton, North Carolina, of which approximately
110,000 square feet is owned by the Partnership. The purchase price of
$5,053,000, excluding closing costs, was partially funded by a $3,000,000
mortgage note payable.

Sangaree Plaza was acquired effective May 31, 1989. The property is a 58,948
square foot shopping center located in Berkley County, South Carolina, near
Charleston. The initial purchase price of $2,380,000, excluding closing costs,
was partially funded by the assumption of a $1,715,102 mortgage note payable.
During 1993, construction was completed to expand Sangaree Plaza by
approximately 11,368 square feet. Total cost of the expansion was approximately
$1,200,000.

Rosewood Shopping Center was acquired effective June 5, 1989. The property is a
55,087 square foot shopping center located in Columbia, South Carolina. The
purchase price of $2,250,000, excluding closing costs, was funded entirely from
partners' capital.

West Ridge Plaza was acquired effective September 14, 1989. The property is a
140,985 square foot shopping center located in Bristol, Tennessee. The purchase
price of $6,567,000, excluding closing costs, was partially funded by the
assumption of $5,120,000 of Industrial Revenue Development Bonds. Remaining
funds for the acquisition were obtained from a mortgage note payable of
$1,500,000, which was secured by Rosewood Shopping Center.

WRITE-DOWN OF RENTAL PROPERTY

As discussed in Note 7, the Partnership assets are being marketed for sale. It
is the opinion of the general partner that the net sales prices for Rosewood
Shopping Center and West Ridge Plaza will be less than their respective net book
values. Accordingly, the partnership recorded a provision in 1996 to write-down
rental property by $773,000, to the properties' fair market value, as estimated
by the general partner.

3.  MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE:

The Partnership's debt consisted of the following at December 31:

Cash payments for interest in 1996, 1995 and 1994 amounted to $1,346,749,
$1,343,190 and $1,393,808, respectively.

The Partnership is in default on the mortgage note secured by West Ridge Plaza,
however, the lender has not demanded payment or commenced foreclosure
procedures, and continues to accept the normal monthly payment of principal and
interest. Additionally, the mortgage notes secured by deeds of trust on
Southwest Plaza Shopping Center and Lincoln Center mature in April 1997. The
general partner's intentions are to refinance these obligations. In the opinion
of the general partner, refinancing of all three mortgage notes will occur as
the properties loan to book value and debt service coverage ratios make it
likely that a successful refinancing will occur. Additionally, in the opinion of
the general partner, the fact that the properties are for sale (Note 7) should
encourage the current lenders to extend the maturities of the mortgage notes
until the properties can be sold. If financing cannot be obtained, the
Partnership may be unable to fund the matured obligations. This may result in
the lenders taking custody of any or all of the forementioned properties through
foreclosure proceedings. The accompanying financial statements, prepared on the
basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.


4.  LEASES:

The Partnership's rental properties are leased to tenants for terms ranging from
month-to-month to 17 years. The leases are accounted for as operating leases.
Approximately 13% of the rental properties is leased to one tenant under a lease
that expires in 2004. Approximately 12% of the rental properties is leased to
another tenant under leases that expire in 2009 and 2013. Minimum future rentals
on the noncancelable leases are as follows:

</TABLE>

As specified in the partnership agreement, a general partner earns a partnership
management fee equal to 3% of the annual gross revenue of the Partnership.
Payment of 50% of this fee to the general partner is subordinate to certain
limited partner distributions. Any earned but unpaid partnership management fees
accrue interest at the rate of prime plus 1% and will be paid to the general
partner upon satisfaction of certain conditions contained in the partnership
agreement. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Partnership had accrued $493,576
and $446,114, respectively, in earned but unpaid partnership management fees and
interest. These amounts are presented as due to general partner on the
accompanying balance sheets.


7.  SALE OF PARTNERSHIP ASSETS:

In December 1995, the general and limited partners voted to sell the rental
properties comprising the partnership. In the opinion of the general partner,
the proceeds from the sale of the rental properties will exceed the net carrying
value of such properties as of December 31, 1996, subsequent to the write-down
of rental property (Note 2).
