to service the mortgage  under the current  payment  requirements.  The Managing
General Partner had ongoing  negotiations  with the lender concerning a complete
restructure  of the mortgage and related debt  service.  The  negotiations  were
unsuccessful  and on  January  7,  1998 the  property  was  lost to  foreclosure
(described in note E).

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

     Results of Operations

Total  revenues  for the first  nine  months  decreased  $636,000  (29.8%)  when
compared to the same period in 1997. The majority of the decrease  ($640,000) is
due to the loss of  rental  revenue  caused  by the  foreclosure  of the KC Club
Apartments.  Rental revenue for the first nine months at the Greenhills  Bicycle
Club  Apartments  increased  $53,000  (3.5%) when compared to the same period in
1997.  This  increase  is due to a  strong  rental  market,  which  allowed  the
Partnership to increase  rental rates upon lease  renewals.  These higher market
rates are being achieved with fewer rent concessions. Interest revenue decreased
$49,000  (80.6%) from 1997.  The decrease in interest  revenue was caused by the
August 1997 sale of the Treasury  certificate of accrual held by the partnership
as collateral for the KC Club Apartments.

Operating  expenses for the first nine months of 1998 decreased $390,000 (46.0%)
compared to the same period in 1997. Of the total decrease,  $362,000 relates to
the foreclosure of the KC Club Apartments.  Operating expenses at the Greenhills
Bicycle Club decreased by $28,000.  The decrease is due primarily to a reduction
in payroll, utilities and insurance expenses.

Professional  service expense  increased  $66,000 (113,5%) compared to the first
nine  months of 1997.  The  majority  of the  increase  is due to legal  fees in
connection with the foreclosure of the KC Club Apartments and other  partnership
related matters.

Management  fee expense for the first nine months  decreased by $31,000  (30.0%)
compared to the same period in 1997.  The decrease is due to the  foreclosure of
the KC  Club  Apartments.  Management  fees  for  the  Greenhills  Bicycle  Club
Apartments increased slightly from 1997 due to the increase in rental revenue.

General and administrative property operating expenses decreased $11,000 (27.6%)
when compared to the first nine months of last year.  General and administrative
expenses  for the  first  nine  months  of  1998  decreased  $20,000  due to the
foreclosure of the KC Club Apartments.  General and  administrative  expenses at
the Greenhills Bicycle Club Apartments increased $9,000 for the same period.

Interest  expense  decreased  $291,000 (34.2%) and depreciation and amortization
expense  decreased  $133,000  (29.5%) when  compared to the first nine months of
last year. The decrease in interest  expense and  depreciation  and amortization
expense  due to the  foreclosure  of the KC  Club  Apartments  is  $278,000  and
$137,000 respectively.

The Partnership anticipates that the operating results for the first nine months
will be representative of the results for the remaining portion of the year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the first nine months of 1998,  $258,172 of working  capital was provided
by  operations,  $138,415 was consumed in investing  activities and $227,673 was
used for financing activities.

Based upon the above, the General Partners feel that adequate working capital is
available  to maintain the  solvency of this  entity.  In addition,  the General
Partners also  anticipate  that 1998 cash flow from  operations will continue to
improve  because of strong  occupancy,  rental  rate  increases  and  stabilized
expenses.

The  General   Partners  have   determined  it  prudent  to   discontinue   cash
distributions  until  such  time  that  adequate  working  capital  and  capital
improvements reserves are in place.

Year 2000 computer  problems.  It is our opinion that the potential on-site Year
2000 problems at the Greenhills Bicycle Club apartments will not have a material
impact on property operations. The computer and on-site software utilized in the
day to day  operations of the property have been upgraded as of January 12, 1999
at a cost of  approximately  $4,000  with a Year  2000  compliant  software.  No
additional  material  expenditures  are  planned  at this  time  for  Year  2000
compliance.  There are no known  non-information  technology systems (elevators,
fire alarms,  security  systems  etc.)  on-site that would be impacted by a Year
2000 problem. Management believes that the mission critical systems are prepared
for the Year 2000, and non-critical systems are being evaluated.

Management   believes  the  worst  case  scenario  that  could  impact  property
operations  would be if third-party  utility  providers  (electricity and water)
failed to provide  services to the  property due to a Year 2000 problem in their
systems.  We believe the likelihood of this scenario  occurring is remote but we
are in the process of contacting our utility  providers to review their plans to
address potential Year 2000 issues.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


     Item 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

a) Foreclosure:

As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership  was in negotiations  with the mortgage
holder  on KC Club  Apartments  concerning  a  restructure  of that  debt.  More
favorable   interest  rates  and  possible  principal  write  downs  were  under
consideration.  Due to the inability to restructure the debt, on January 7, 1998
the property was lost to foreclosure.

The assets and  liabilities  as of January 7, 1998 that were  applicable  to the
foreclosed property approximated the following:

   Investment properties, net of accumulated depreciation     $3,388,000
   Other assets                                                   84,000
   Mortgage payable, including accrued interest               (3,992,000)
   Other liabilities                                            (259,000)

Rental  revenue for the KC Club  Apartments for the year ended December 31, 1997
was $853,000 while operating expenses (including interest) were $1,160,000.

b) Change in control:

On July 21st, 1998, Nichols Resources Ltd., a general partner of the Partnership
("Nichols"),  Bond Purchase,  L.L.C.  ("Bond") and David L. Johnson ("Johnson ")
and other affiliates of Johnson,  along with the Partnership,  SIR Partners III,
L.P., General Partner of the Partnership ("SIR Partners III"),  SPECS, Inc., the
company  which  provides  the  Partnership   management  and  investor  services
("SPECS")  and  James R.  Hoyt,  Managing  General  Partner  of the  Partnership
("Hoyt"),  entered into a certain  Settlement  Agreement and Mutual Release (the
"Agreement").  The Agreement settled a dispute which had arisen between Nichols,
SIR Partners III and Hoyt,  general  partners of the Partnership over the proper
course of action to be taken for the  Partnership.  This dispute resulted in the
filing of a civil action in the Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri.

Pursuant to the Agreement, Nichols has agreed (i) to pay $100,000 in cash to SIR
Partners III and Hoyt,  $21,751 of which will be paid by Hoyt to the Partnership
to pay a receivable  owed by  affiliates  of the  Partnership  for unpaid excess
syndication costs and expenses  currently shown on the  Partnership=s  financial
statements  and (ii) to dismiss the civil  actions  filed.  In exchange  for the
$100,000 in cash and the  dismissal of the civil  actions,  SIR Partners III and
Hoyt have agreed (i) to transfer their General Partnership  interests to Nichols
and (ii) to withdraw as Managing General Partner and general partners. Under the
Partnership's  Amended  and  Restated  Agreement  of Limited  Partnership  dated
December 6, 1988 (the "Partnership  Agreement"),  such transfers and withdrawals
are subject to the majority  vote of the  Partnership's  limited  partners  (the
"Limited Partners"). Hoyt and SIR Partners III have also agreed that Nichols, as
general  partner  of the  Partnership,  shall  have the right to  designate  the
management  company to manage the assets of the  Partnership  and to execute all
documents to effectuate the release of the current management contract.

Nichols,  as a general  partner of the  Partnership,  intends to call for a vote
without a meeting  of the  Limited  Partners,  file a proxy  statement  with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and solicit proxies from the Limited Partners
to seek  approval  from the  Limited  Partners  to the  transfer  of the general
partnership  interests,  the  withdrawal of Hoyt and SIR Partners III as general
partners of the  Partnership  and the  replacement  of Hoyt as Managing  General
Partner in favor of Nichols.  Hoyt and SIR Partners III have agreed to use their
best efforts to assist in obtaining  approval  from the limited  partners of the
withdrawal of Hoyt and SIR Partners III as General  Partners of the partnership.
In the  event the  majority  approval  is  obtained,  Nichols  shall be the sole
general partner of the Partnership.
