NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1996
(Unaudited)
Readers of this quarterly report should refer to the Partnership's audited
financial statements as of December 31, 1995, as certain footnote disclosures
which would substantially duplicate those contained in such audited financial
statements have been omitted from this report.
1. INVESTMENT IN THE WILLOWBROOK JOINT VENTURE:
On April 8, 1992, the Partnership consummated a transaction which was effective
April 1, 1992, with the Willowbrook Joint Venture, Clover Income Properties,
L.P. ("CIP"), and Clover Income Properties II, L.P. ("CIP II"), affiliated
partnerships, for the acquisition by the Partnership of an interest in the
Willowbrook Joint Venture (the "Joint Venture"), which owns the Willowbrook
Apartments, a 299-unit mid-rise apartment complex located in Baltimore,
Maryland. The Partnership acquired a 14.18% interest in the Joint Venture for a
cash purchase price of $2,200,000.
On February 7, 1996, the Willowbrook Joint Venture entered into an agreement of
sale with Berwind Properties Group, Inc. and First Montgomery Properties, Ltd.
Under the terms of the agreement, the Joint Venture will sell the Willowbrook
Apartments (including land), all related improvements and tangible and
intangible property for $10,500,000 less a $315,000 credit for capital
improvements.
The sale is contingent upon, among other things, the approval by a majority of
the limited partners of CIP, CIP II, and CIP III. If the sale is approved by a
majority of the limited partners and all the other conditions to the sale are
met, the sale will be completed.
Concurrent with the sale of The Willowbrook Apartments, all assets of the Joint
Venture will be liquidated. The net proceeds will be distributed to its owners
(CIP, CIP II and CIP III) and the Joint Venture dissolved.
Upon receipt of distribution from the Joint Venture, the limited partnership
will then liquidate the net assets, distribute the proceeds and be dissolved.
Due to the proposed sale of the Willowbrook Apartments and subsequent
liquidation of the Partnership, CIP III has reflected its investment in the
Joint Venture at the lower of cost or market. Market value is based on the
estimated cash proceeds (net of settlement costs) from the sale of the
Willowbrook Apartments after allocation of these proceeds to CIP, CIP II, and
CIP III.
1. INVESTMENT IN THE WILLOWBROOK JOINT VENTURE (continued):
A summary of the Joint Venture's financial statements is as follows:
Three Months
Ended March 31,
1996
Current assets $ 397,270
Investment property, net of accumulated 9,276,510
Other noncurrent assets 1,100
Total assets $ 9,674,880
Current liabilities $ 438,232
Capital -
Clover Income Properties, L.P. 3,637,651
Clover Income Properties II, L.P. 3,637,651
Clover Income Properties III, L.P. 1,961,346
Total liabilities and capital $ 9,674,880
Revenues $ 524,072
Expenses 415,396
Net income $ 108,676
The Joint Venture made distributions from operations to the Partnership in the
amount of $26,586 during the first three months of 1996. (Also, see Note 2).
The investment in The Willowbrook Joint Venture, at market of $1,383,487,
includes amortization ($104,910) of the additional costs of the Partnership's
share of the investment in the Joint Venture over the Partnership's share of the
net book value of the Joint Venture on April 1, 1992. Also included is an
impairment loss of $472,947 which was recorded at December 31, 1995. The amount
by which the Partnership's share of the investment in the Joint Venture exceeds
the Partnership's share of the net book value of the Joint Venture was $651,576.
This amount has been allocated to land and building in the amounts of $75,452
and $576,124, respectively. The excess costs allocable to the building are
amortized over the remaining estimated useful life of the building on April 1,
1992, which is 20 years and 9 months. Therefore, the amount of the investment
reflected here does not correspond to the Partnership's capital account balance
in the Joint Venture due to the adjustments indicated above.
2. SUBSEQUENT DISTRIBUTION:
In April 1996, the Partnership received an $8,862 distribution from the
Willowbrook Joint Venture. It is anticipated that the Partnership will make a
cash distribution in May 1996 of $9,855 to the limited partners and $100 to the
general partner.
3. GENERAL:
The financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of
the General Partner, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the
interim period presented. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

(UNAUDITED)
Readers of this quarterly report should refer to the Joint Venture's audited
financial statements as of December 31, 1995, as certain footnote disclosures
which would substantially duplicate those contained in such audited financial
statements have been omitted from this report.
1. INVESTMENT PROPERTY HELD FOR SALE:
On December 17, 1987, the Joint Venture acquired the Willowbrook Apartments, a
mid-rise apartment complex comprising 299 apartment units contained in eight
five-story buildings. The complex is located in Baltimore, Maryland.
On February 7, 1996, the Joint Venture entered into an agreement of sale with
Berwind Properties Group, Inc. and First Montgomery Properties, Ltd Under the
terms of the agreement, the Joint Venture will sell The Willowbrook Apartments
(including land), all related improvements and tangible and intangible property
for $10,500,000 less a $315,000 credit for capital improvements.
The sale is contingent upon, among other things, the sale of all of the
properties owned by affiliates of Clover Financial Corporation which are also
under agreement of sale with Berwind and First Montgomery. Clover Financial
Corporation is the parent company of the general partner of CIP, CIP II, and CIP
III. The sale must be approved by a majority of the limited partners of CIP,
CIP II, and CIP III. Upon sale of The Willowbrook Apartments, all assets of the
Joint Venture will be liquidated. The net proceeds will then be distributed to
its owners (CIP, CIP II, and CIP III) and the Joint Venture dissolved.
Due to the proposed sale of The Willowbrook Apartments and subsequent
liquidation of the Partnership, the Joint Venture has reflected the investment
property held for sale at the lower of cost or market. Market value is based on
the estimated cash proceeds (net of settlement costs) from the sale of the
Willowbrook Apartments. At March 31, 1996, the investment property held for
sale was not impaired.
The following is a summary of investment property as of March 31, 1996.

Furniture and fixtures 1,013,013

2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES:
Effective February 21, 1995, NPI-CL Management, L.P. ("NPI") which is
unaffiliated with the general partner, replaced an affiliate of the general
partner as Property Manager. Until this time, as compensation for property
management services performed by an affiliate of the Partners with respect to
the Property, the affiliate was entitled to a management fee in an amount not to
exceed 5% of gross revenues. On January 19, 1996, the stockholders of National
Property Investors, Inc. sold all of its issued and outstanding stock to IFGP
Corporation, an affiliate of Insignia Financial Group, Inc.
The general partners of CIP, CIP II, and CIP III and their affiliates were
entitled to reimbursement for administrative services rendered to the Joint
Venture and direct expenses of operations and goods and services used by and for
the Joint Venture. For the three months ended March 31, 1995, $3,339 of such
costs were incurred by the Joint Venture. Property management fees of $12,750
were incurred and paid for the three months ended March 31, 1995, to an
affiliate of the general partner. During the three months ended March 31, 1996,
there were no transactions with affiliates.
As of March 31, 1996, The Willowbrook Joint Venture owed a total of $326,293 to
Clover and its affiliates, including $7,161 for reimbursable costs and $319,132
for accrued property management fees. The payment of such amounts will be made
from the Willowbrook Joint Venture's cash flow when available and from the
proceeds of any sale or refinancing of the assets of the Willowbrook Joint
Venture.
3. SUBSEQUENT DISTRIBUTIONS:
In April 1996, the Joint Venture paid total distributions of $62,500 to its
partners.
4. GENERAL:
The financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of
the joint venture partners, necessary for a fair statement of results for the
interim periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1995 information to conform to
the 1996 presentation.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Financial Condition Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Partnership's only remaining interest in real estate is a 14.18% interest
in The Willowbrook Joint Venture, a joint venture which owns the Willowbrook
Apartments. Consequently, the Partnership's primary remaining source of
operating cash flow will be distributions from The Willowbrook Joint Venture.
On February 7, 1996, the Willowbrook Joint Venture, Berwind Property Group,
Inc. ("Berwind") and First Montgomery Properties, Ltd. ("First Montgomery", and
with Berwind, the "Buyers") executed an Agreement of Sale (as amended, the "Sale
Agreement") concerning the sale of Willowbrook Apartments (the "Sale").
Pursuant to the terms of the Sale Agreement, the Buyers have agreed to purchase
The Willowbrook Apartments for a purchase price of $10,500,000 (less a $315,000
credit for capital improvements). The completion of the Sale is contingent upon
the approval of the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding Units and the
holders of more than 50% of the outstanding units of limited partnership
interest in each of CIP II and CIP III. In addition, for a period from the date
of the execution of the Sale Agreement through May 21, 1996, the Buyers have the
right to cancel and terminate the Sale Agreement for any reason whatsoever. The
Sale is described in a Form 8-K filed with the Commission pursuant to the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on March 4, 1996 and such description is
incorporated herein by reference.
Cash on hand on March 31, 1996 was $125,946 as compared to $122,873 on December
31, 1995. Current funds, along with future operating cash flow, will be
utilized for working capital needs and for distributions to the limited
partners.
The Partnership's net cash flow from operations was $1,061 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996, as compared to cash flow used in operations of $17,019 for
the same period in 1995. The increase in net cash flow from operations for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 is attributable to a decrease in cash paid for
operating expenses and an increase in distributions received from the
Willowbrook Joint Venture.
The Joint Venture's net cash flow from operations was $325,851 for the three
months ended March 31, 1996, as compared to $272,382 for the same period in
1995. The increase in cash flow from operations over the period was due to an
increase in cash received from rentals and other income, in addition to a
decrease in cash paid for operating expenses.
Cash distributions by the Partnership to the partners with respect to the
quarter ended December 31, 1995 of $9,955 were paid in January 1996. Of the
total amount, $9,855 was distributed to the Limited Partners and $100 was
distributed to the General Partner.
The General Partner believes that the Partnership's current and future cash
availability will be sufficient to meet the Partnership's liquidity
requirements, absent any unanticipated cost increases or adverse market
conditions.
If the Sale is approved by the Limited Partners and completed, the proceeds
from the Sale distributed by the Joint Venture will be sufficient to cover the
anticipated operating costs of the Sale estimated to be $1,282,000.
As of March 31, 1996, the Partnership has paid all outstanding amounts owed to
Clover and its affiliates. There were no outstanding amounts owed to Clover and
its affiliates and the Partnership made no payments to Clover and its affiliates
during the three months ended March 31, 1996.
As of March 31, 1996, The Willowbrook Joint Venture owed a total of $326,293 to
Clover and its affiliates, including $7,161 for reimbursable costs and $319,132
for accrued property management fees. The payment of such amounts will be made
from The Willowbrook Joint Venture's cash flow when available and from the
proceeds of any sales or refinancing of the assets of The Willowbrook Joint
Venture.
During the first quarter of 1996, The Willowbrook Joint Venture continued its
program instituted in 1993 at The Willowbrook Apartments to upgrade apartment
interiors with new appliances and carpeting, combined with an aggressive
marketing program.
Effective February 21, 1995, the General Partner and certain of its affiliates
entered into an agreement with NPI-CL Management L.P. ("NPI"), an entity
unaffiliated with the Partnership or its General Partner, pursuant to which NPI
began providing day-to-day asset management services for the Partnership as well
as property management services for the Joint Venture. NPI is an affiliate of
National Property Investors, Inc. On January 19, 1996, the stockholders of
National Property Investors, Inc. sold all of its issued and outstanding stock
to IFGP Corporation, an affiliate of Insignia Financial Group, Inc.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 vs. March 31, 1995
Partnership revenues do not include the revenues from the Willowbrook
Apartments.
The Partnership's income after amortization for the three months ended March
31, 1996, was $7,842 compared to loss after amortization of $2,856 for the same
period in 1995. The increase in income after amortization for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 is primarily attributable to the increase in the
Partnership's share of income from The Willowbrook Joint Venture.
Rental income for the Willowbrook Apartments, as operated by The Willowbrook
Joint Venture for the three months ended March 31, 1996, was $511,753 as
compared to $494,733 for the same period in 1995. Other income for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 was $12,181 as compared to $5,584 for the same
period in 1995. Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 1996 was
$138 as compared to $484 for the same period in 1995. The increase in rental
income is primarily the result of an increase in average rental rates over the
period. The change in other income was due to increased miscellaneous charges
to tenants including late fees and utility reimbursements.
The average effective rental rates for The Willowbrook Apartments for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 were $1,839 as compared to $1,787 for the same
period in 1995. The average occupancy for the Willowbrook Apartments for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 was 93.0% as compared to 92.6% for the same
period in 1995.
Operating expenses for The Willowbrook Apartments for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 were $284,747 as compared to $261,502 for the same period in
1995. The increase in operating expenses over the period is primarily the
result of increased snow removal, maintenance, and utility expenses. These
increases can be attributed to the severe winter conditions in the first quarter
of 1996 at the property.
The Joint Venture's income after depreciation for the three months ended March
31, 1996 was $108,676 as compared to $106,098 for the same period in 1995. The
increase in income after depreciation in 1996 is primarily the result of
increased rental income offset by an increase in operating expenses.
