The information required by Items 2-6 of Schedule 13D with respect to executive
officers and directors of MAEGP, Liquidity, Insignia and MAE Parent, Inc. is
included on Schedule A.


ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

The source of the funds used to acquire the Class A Shares purchased by
Liquidity was working capital of Insignia and it is contemplated that working
capital of Insignia will be the source of funds for any future purchases of
Class A Shares.


ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

The purpose of the transactions described in Item 5 hereof was to increase
Insignia's beneficial ownership of Class A Shares.  Insignia may seek to
acquire control of the Issuer.  Any plan or proposal to acquire control could
involve seeking to replace the Board of Trustees of the Issuer or proposing a
business combination transaction with the Issuer or both.  Although Insignia
does not currently have any detailed proposal or plans in this respect,
Insignia will also consider, and may elect to pursue a sale or transfer of a
material amount of assets of the Issuer, a material change in the present
capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer, other material changes in the
Issuer's business or corporate structure, and changes in the Issuer's
Declaration of Trust or Trustees' Regulations.

The Issuer was organized as a real estate investment trust by Angeles
Corporation ("Angeles") and, in connection with its organization, a subsidiary
of Angeles was issued the Class B Shares of Issuer and became the advisor to
the Issuer.  Following its organization, the Issuer made loans to certain
partnerships





                                                              Page 9 of 18 Pages
<PAGE>   10
controlled by Angeles (the "Angeles Partnerships").  The loans were generally
secured by real property owned by the Angeles Partnerships.  In 1992, Insignia
acquired from Angeles all of the outstanding stock of a number of corporations,
including corporations which are the general partners of the Angeles
Partnerships.  In that transaction, MAEGP acquired the Class B Shares of the
Issuer.  Since 1992, Insignia has acquired limited partnership interests in the
Angeles Partnerships and currently holds general and limited partnership
interests in the Angeles Partnerships.  The aggregate principal amount of
indebtedness held by the Issuer representing promissory notes of the Angeles
Partnerships (excluding promissory notes which have been the subject of
foreclosure proceedings) is approximately $29,000,000.

Over the past several months, Insignia has had discussions with management of
the Issuer regarding a potential business combination transaction.  The
discussions principally have involved whether the general and limited
partnership interests owned by Insignia in certain partnerships which own real
property (other than the Angeles Partnerships) could be transferred, through a
merger or otherwise, to the Issuer in exchange for securities of the Issuer.
Any such transaction could lead to a potential restructuring of the
indebtedness of the Angeles Partnerships, which could involve an issuance of
equity securities of the Angeles Partnerships in exchange for the reduction of
such indebtedness.  The discussions to date have not resulted in an acceptable
proposal or structure, and no assurance is or can be given that a business
combination or other transaction will take place.

In connection with any plan or proposal to seek control of the Issuer, Insignia
may seek redemption or judicial invalidation of rights to purchase Class A
Shares (the "Purchase Rights").  The Purchase Rights were issued pursuant to a
Rights Agreement dated November 13, 1996 which generally provides that each
Purchase Right entitles the record holder to purchase from the Issuer one Class
A Share at the initial purchase price of $60.00 per Share (the purchase price
and number of Class A Shares are adjusted in certain circumstances) (the
"Purchase Price").  Upon a person (an "Acquiring Person") acquiring 20% of the
outstanding Class A Shares (or a lower percentage not less than 10% fixed by
the Board of Trustees of the Issuer in certain circumstances), the Rights
Agreement states that each holder (other than an Acquiring Person) will have a
right to acquire an amount of Class A Shares equal to (i) the Purchase Price
multiplied by (ii) the number of Class A Shares for which the Purchase Right is
exercisable divided by (iii) an amount equal to one-half of the market price
per share of the Class A Shares.

Subject to applicable legal requirements and the factors referred to below,
Insignia may purchase from time to time in the open market or in privately
negotiated transactions additional Class A Shares.  In determining whether to
purchase additional Class A Shares and in formulating any plan or proposal to
acquire control of the Issuer, Insignia intends to consider various factors,
including the Issuer's financial condition, business and prospects, the price
level of the Class A Shares, and general economic conditions.  In addition,
depending upon, among other things, the factors described above, Insignia may
determine to dispose of all or a portion of its Class A Shares.


ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

                 (a)      MAEGP owns 1,675,113 Class B Shares of the Issuer
which are convertible into 34,186 Class A Shares.  Liquidity owns 121,800 Class
A Shares.  The Class A and Class B shares are each entitled to one vote in
matters submitted to the shareholders of the Issuer and vote as a class.  The
responses of the Reporting Persons to Items (11) and (13) of the cover pages of
this Schedule 13D which relate to the aggregate number of shares and percentage
of Class A Shares beneficially owned are incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 6.  CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT
TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

In connection with the settlement in 1995 of litigation between the Issuer and
Insignia, MAEGP, for an option price of $250,000, granted the Issuer, pursuant
to an Option Agreement (the "Option Agreement"), the option to acquire in April
2005 all Class B Shares held by MAEGP for a price equal to (i) $93,856 plus
(ii) any amounts paid by MAEGP ("Acquisition Costs") to purchase Class B Shares
in addition to the 1,675,113 Class B Shares owned by MAEGP plus (iii) interest
on the Acquisition Costs at an annual rate equal to 6-1/2%.  The Option
Agreement also provides that if the Issuer issues additional Class A Shares,
MAEGP shall have the right to purchase additional Class B Shares in a
sufficient amount such that MAEGP may maintain a ratio of two Class A Shares
issued and outstanding for each Class B Share issued and outstanding.  Under
the Option Agreement, MAEGP may purchase the additional Class B Shares at a
purchase price per share equal to 1/99th of the sale price of the Class A
Shares.

Pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement, MAEGP granted the Issuer an
irrevocable proxy to vote all Class B Shares of MAEGP on the following issues
("Proxy Issues"):

         1.      Issues pertaining to extensions of credit or the sale (except
a sale of all or substantially all of Issuer's assets), modification or
refinance of loans made or to be made by Issuer to MAEGP or any





                                                             Page 11 of 18 Pages

person or entity which is or was an affiliate or an officer, director or
trustee of an affiliate of MAEGP or an insider or an officer, director or
trustee of an insider of MAEGP;

         2.      Issues pertaining to transactions between the Issuer and
affiliates or insiders of MAEGP or any officer, director or trustee of an
affiliate or insider of MAEGP;

         3.      Issues pertaining to the election or appointment of any
affiliate or insider of MAEGP or any officer, director or trustee of any
affiliate or insider of MAEGP as an officer or trustee of the Issuer.

         Under the terms of the irrevocable proxy, the Issuer must vote all of
the Class B Shares on Proxy Issues in accordance with the vote of the majority
of Class A Shares voted on any Proxy Issue.

         On December 11, 1996, the Issuer and Insignia Financial Group, Inc.,
on behalf of itself and its affiliates (collectively, "Insignia"), entered into
a Confidentiality Agreement effective as of December 3, 1996 (the
"Confidentiality Agreement").  Pursuant to the terms of the Confidentiality
Agreement, Insignia agrees to maintain the confidentiality of certain
information and not to purchase any shares of the Issuer without prior written
approval of the Issuer during the "Standstill Period" which commences on the
effective date of the Confidentiality Agreement and ends on the 14th day
following written notice by Insignia that it elects to terminate the Standstill
Period.
