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

            (1)  Liquidity

                 As of June 30, 1996, Registrant had cash of $27,005. Such funds
are expected to be used to pay the  liabilities 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 June 30, 1996,  Registrant had restricted cash of $82,963
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  (principal  plus  accrued  interest).  With respect to
Northern Liberty,  any development of the remaining lot 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 second  quarter of 1996,  Registrant  incurred a net
loss of $163,595 ($9.08 per limited  partnership unit) compared to a net loss of
$158,593 ($8.80 per limited  partnership  unit) for the same period in 1995. For
the first six months of 1996,  the  Registrant  incurred a net loss of  $328,702
($18.24 per limited partnership unit) compared to a net loss of $474,081 ($26.30
per limited partnership unit) for the same period in 1995.

                 Rental  income  increased  slightly from $174,529 in the second
quarter of 1995 to $176,254 in the same  period in 1996 and  decreased  $130,184
from  $474,699  for the first six months of 1995 to $344,515 for the same period
in 1996.  This  decrease from the first six months of 1995 to the same period in
1996 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 an
increase  in rental  income  at Flint  Goodridge.  Rental  income  decreased  at
Robidoux due to lower rental rate tenants  replacing higher rental rate tenants,
even though  occupancy  levels  increased  (96% to 98%).  The increase in rental
income at Flint Goodridge is the result of higher average rental rates.

                 Expenses for rental operations increased by $9,535 from $71,537
in the second  quarter of 1995 to $81,072 in the same  period in 1996.  Expenses
increased  mainly due to an increase in operating  expenses such as  maintenance
and  salary and wage  expense at Flint  Goodridge  and  Robidoux,  as well as an
increase  in  professional  fees  at  Robidoux.  Maintenance  expense  at  Flint
Goodridge increased due to expenditures for certain deferred  maintenance items.
Robidoux  experienced an increase in maintenance expense due to higher occupancy
levels (93% to 95%).  Salary and wage  expense  increased  due to cost of living
increases  given  to  employees,  and  professional  fees  increased  due  to an
appraisal done at the property.

                  Expenses  for rental  operations  decreased  by $132,658  from
$301,521  for the first six months of 1995 to  $168,863  for the same  period in
1996.  Expenses  decreased  mainly due to the  foreclosure  of Shriver Square on
March 30, 1995,  partially  offset by an increase in  maintenance  and insurance
expense at Flint  Goodridge and an increase in maintenance,  professional  fees,
and salary and wage expense at Robidoux.  Maintenance expense at Flint Goodridge
increased  due to  expenditures  for certain  deferred  maintenance  items,  and
insurance expense increased due to an increase in premiums.  Maintenance expense

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

at Robidoux increased due to higher occupancy levels (96% to 98%).  Professional
fees  increased due to an appraisal  done at the  property,  and salary and wage
expense increased due to cost of living increases given to employees.

                 Depreciation  and  amortization  expense  decreased $6,057 from
$113,732  in the second  quarter of 1995 to  $107,675 in the same period in 1996
due to certain fixed assets at Flint Goodridge becoming fully depreciated.

                 Depreciation and amortization  expense  decreased  $73,529 from
$288,880  for the first six  months of 1995 to  $215,351  in the same  period in
1996. This decrease is mainly the result of the foreclosure of Shriver Square on
March 30, 1995.

                 Interest  expense  decreased by $200 from $97,793 in the second
quarter of 1995 to $97,593 in the same period in 1996 and  decreased  by $73,765
from $258,954 for the first six months of 1995 to $185,189 in the same period in
1996.  The decrease from the first six months of 1995 to the same period in 1996
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 a non-interest bearing advance
made by the  Registrant's  co-general  partner  in order to repay the  principal
balance of a loan which matured in March 1996.

                 Losses incurred  during the second quarter at the  Registrant's
properties amounted to $99,000,  compared to a loss of approximately $94,000 for
the same  period  in 1995.  For the first  six  months of 1996 the  Registrant's
properties  recognized  a loss of $202,000  compared to a loss of  approximately
$346,000 for the same period in 1995.

                 In the  second  quarter of 1996  Registrant  incurred a loss of
$12,000 at Kensington Tower, compared to a loss of $9,000 for the same period of
1995. For the first six months of 1996, Registrant incurred a loss of $21,000 at
Kensington  Tower compared to a loss of $17,000 for the same period in 1995. The
Registrant accounts for this investment on the equity method and the increase in
the loss is due to an increase in operating expenses due to normal  inflationary
increases.

                 In the second  quarter of 1996,  Registrant  incurred a loss of
$37,000 at Flint Goodridge  including  $53,000 of depreciation  and amortization
expense,  compared to a loss of $39,000 in the second quarter of 1995, including
$57,000 of depreciation and amortization  expense. The decrease in the loss from
the  second  quarter  of 1995 to the same  period  in 1996 is the  result  of an
increase in rental income,  partially  offset by an increase in maintenance  and
salary and wage  expense.  The increase in rental income is the result of higher
average rental rates. Maintenance expense increased due expenditures for certain
deferred maintenance items, and salary and wage expense increased due to cost of
living increases given to employees.

                 For the first six months of 1996, Registrant incurred a loss of
$88,000, at Flint Goodridge, including $106,000 of depreciation and amortization

                                      -4-

expense,  compared to a loss of $83,000,  including $113,000 of depreciation and
amortization  expense.  The increase in the loss is the result of an increase in
maintenance  and insurance  expense,  partially  offset by an increase in rental
income,  as well as a decrease  in  depreciation  expense.  Maintenance  expense
increased  due to  expenditures  for certain  deferred  maintenance  items,  and
insurance  expense  increased  due to an increase in  premiums.  The increase in
rental income is the result of higher  average  rental rates.  Depreciation  and
amortization  expense  decreased  due to furniture and fixtures  becoming  fully
depreciated  and  organization  costs  becoming  fully  amortized  in the second
quarter of 1995.

                 In the second  quarter of 1996,  Registrant  incurred a loss of
$62,000 at Robidoux, including $43,000 of depreciation and amortization expense,
compared to a loss of $55,000 including $43,000 of depreciation and amortization
expense in the second quarter of 1995. The increase in the loss is the result of
an increase in professional fees, maintenance,  and salary and wage expense. The
increase  in  professional  fees is due to an  appraisal  done at the  property.
Maintenance  expense  increased  due to  higher  occupancy  levels  (93% to 95%)
experienced  at the property.  Salary and wage expense  increased due to cost of
living increases given to employees.

                 For the first six months of 1996, Registrant incurred a loss of
$114,000  at  Robidoux,  including  $86,000  of  depreciation  and  amortization
expense,  compared to a loss of $115,000,  including $86,000 of depreciation and
amortization  expense for the same period in 1995.  The  decrease in the loss is
due to a decrease in interest expense,  partially offset by a decrease in rental
income and an increase in professional  fees,  maintenance,  and salary and wage
expense.  Interest expense decreased due to a non-interest  bearing advance made
by the Registrant's  co-general  partner in order to repay the principal balance
of a loan which matured in March 1996.  Rental  income  decreased as a result of
lower rental rate tenants  replacing  higher  rental rate  tenants,  even though
occupancy  levels  increased.  The  increase in  professional  fees is due to an
appraisal  done at the  property.  Maintenance  expense  increased due to higher
occupancy  levels  (96% to 98%)  experienced  at the  property.  Salary and wage
expense increased due to cost of living increases given to employees.

                 In the second quarter of 1996, Registrant incurred a loss of $0
at Shriver Square,  compared to a loss of $400 including $0 of depreciation  and
amortization expense in the second quarter of 1995, and for the first six months
of 1996, Registrant incurred a loss of $0 compared to a loss of $148,000 for the
same period in 1995, including $61,000 of depreciation and amortization expense.
The  decrease  in the loss from the second  quarter  and the first six months of
1995 to the same  periods  in 1996 is due to the  fact  that  the  property  was
foreclosed by the lender in March 1995.
