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

               (1)  Liquidity

                    As of March 31, 1996,  Registrant had cash of $30,607.  Such
funds are expected to be used to pay liabilities and general and  administrative
expenses  of  Registrant,  and to fund cash  deficits  of the  properties.  Cash
generated from operations is used primarily to fund operating  expenses and debt
service. If cash flow proves to be insufficient,  the Registrant will attempt to
negotiate loan modifications with the various lenders in order to remain current
on all  obligations.  The Registrant is not aware of any  additional  sources of
liquidity.

                    As of March 31,  1996,  Registrant  had  restricted  cash of
$83,490  consisting  primarily of funds held as security  deposits,  replacement
reserves  and  escrows  for  taxes  and  insurance.  As  a  consequence  of  the
restrictions  as to use,  Registrant does not deem these funds to be a source of
liquidity.

                    In recent  years the  Registrant  has  realized  significant
losses,  including  the  foreclosure  of one  property  due  to  the  property's
inability to generate  sufficient  cash flow to pay operating  expenses and debt
service.  At the present  time,  with the  exception  of Northern  Liberty,  the
remaining  properties  are able to  generate  enough  cash  flow to cover  their
operating  expenses and debt service,  but there is no additional cash available
to the Registrant to pay its general and administrative expenses.

                    It is the  Registrant's  intention  to  continue to hold the
properties  until they can no longer meet the debt service  requirements and the
properties are foreclosed,  or the market value of the properties increases to a
point  where  they can be sold at a price  which  is  sufficient  to  repay  the
underlying  indebtedness.  With respect to Northern Liberty,  any development of
the remaining lot and building will require additional  funding of capital.  The
Registrant has not yet identified any sources for this funding.

                                      -2-

               (2)  Capital Resources

                    Due  to  the  relatively  recent   rehabilitations   of  the
properties,  any capital expenditures needed are generally replacement items and
are  funded  out of  cash  from  operations  or  replacement  reserves,  if any.
Registrant  is not aware of any factors  which would  cause  historical  capital
expenditure  levels not to be indicative of capital  requirements  in the future
and accordingly, does not believe that it will have to commit material resources
to capital investment for the foreseeable future.

               (3)  Results of Operations

                    During the first quarter of 1996,  Registrant incurred a net
loss of $165,107 ($9.16 per limited  partnership unit) compared to a net loss of
$315,488 ($17.51 per limited partnership unit) for the same period in 1995.

                    Rental income decreased  $132,000 from $300,000 in the first
quarter of 1995 to $168,000 in the same period in 1996.  This decrease is mainly
the result of the  foreclosure  of Shriver Square on March 30, 1995 and a slight
decrease in the rental income at Robidoux, partially offset by a slight increase
in rental income at Flint Goodridge.  Although occupancy  increased at Robidoux,
rental income  decreased due to rental rate tenants  replacing lower rental rate
tenants.  The  increase  in rental  income at Flint  Goodridge  is the result of
higher occupancy levels experienced by the property.

                    Expenses for rental  operations  decreased by $142,000  from
$230,000  in the first  quarter of 1995 to  $88,000 in the same  period in 1996.
Expenses  for  rental  operations  decreased  mainly due to the  foreclosure  of
Shriver Square on March 30, 1995,  partially  offset by an increase of operating
expenses such as maintenance,  utilities,  wages, and insurance expense at Flint
Goodridge,  and an increase in maintenance expense at Robidoux.  Maintenance and
utilities  expense at Flint Goodridge  increased due to an increase in occupancy
levels,  and wages  increased  due to cost of living  raises given to employees.
Higher  health and property  insurance  premiums  increased  insurance  expense.
Robidoux  experienced an increase in maintenance expense due to higher occupancy
levels.

                    Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $67,000 from
$175,000  in the first  quarter of 1995 to  $108,000 in the same period in 1996.
The  decrease is the result of the  foreclosure  of Shriver  Square on March 30,
1995.

                    Interest  expense  decreased by $74,000 from $161,000 in the
first  quarter of 1995 to $87,000 in the same  period in 1996.  The  decrease is
mainly due to the  foreclosure of Shriver Square on March 30, 1995, as well as a
decrease in interest  expense at Robidoux  due to the  reduction of the interest
rate charged on one of the property's loans.

                    Losses incurred during the quarter at the Registrant's three
properties  amounted to $103,000,  compared to a loss of approximately  $251,000
for the same period in 1995.

                    In the first quarter of 1996,  Registrant incurred a loss of
$8,824 at  Kensington  Tower  compared to a loss of $8,537 in the first  quarter
1995.

                    In the first quarter of 1996,  Registrant incurred a loss of
$51,000 at Flint Goodridge  including  $53,000 of depreciation  and amortization
expense,  compared to a loss of $43,000 in the first quarter of 1995,  including
$57,000 of depreciation  and amortization  expense.  The increased loss from the
first  quarter of 1995 to the same  quarter of 1996 is the result of an increase
in operating expenses such as maintenance, utilities, wage and insurance expense
partially offset by an increase in rental income. The increase in rental income,
maintenance, and utilities is the result of higher occupancy levels (91% to 95%)
experienced at the property.  Wages increased due to cost of living raises given
to employees,  and insurance expense increased due to higher premiums charged by
the insurance companies.

                    In the first quarter of 1996,  Registrant incurred a loss of
$51,000 at Robidoux, including $43,000 of depreciation and amortization expense,
compared to a loss of $61,000 including $43,000 of depreciation and amortization
expense in the first  quarter of 1995.  The  decrease in the loss from the first
quarter of 1995 to the first  quarter  of 1996 is the  result of a  decrease  in
interest  expense,  partially  offset  by a  decrease  in rental  income  and an
increase in maintenance  expense.  Interest expense decreased as a result of the
interest rate charged on one of its loans being reduced. Rental income decreased
due to a turnover of higher  rental rate tenants to lower  rental rate  tenants,
and maintenance  expense  increased due to higher occupancy levels (92% to 100%)
experienced at the property.

                    In the first quarter of 1996,  Registrant incurred a loss of
$0 at  Shriver  Square,  compared  to a loss of  $147,000  including  $61,000 of
depreciation and amortization expense in the first quarter of 1995. The decrease
in the loss from the first  quarter of 1995 to the same period in 1996 is due to
the fact that the property was foreclosed by the lender in March 1995.
