          Liabilities and expenses exclude amounts owed and attributable to the
Partnership and its affiliate on behalf of their various financing arrangements
with the joint venture.  In mid July, 1999, a Purchase and Sale agreement was
executed by the joint venture to sell the Shasta Way investment.  Although there
can be no assurance that this sale will occur, it is expected to be concluded
during the third quarter of 1999.


NOTE 3 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT
- -------------------------

          Distributions of cash from operations relating to the quarter ended
June 30, 1999 were made on July 29, 1999 in the aggregate amount of $92,917
($7.71 per limited partnership unit).

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Operations
- ----------

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

      The Partnership completed its offering of units of limited partnership
interest in December 1990 and a total of 11,931 units were sold.  The
Partnership received proceeds of $10,097,962, net of selling commissions and
other offering costs, which have been used for investment in real estate and to
pay related acquisition costs, or retained as working capital reserves.

      In July 1995, the Partnership reduced its working capital reserves by
making a capital distribution of $441,447 ($37 per limited partnership unit).
After the distribution, the Partnership's adjusted capital contribution was $963
per unit.

      On May 29, 1997, the Partnership made a capital distribution of $2,791,854
($234 per limited partnership unit) from the sale proceeds of Hohokam, which
reduced the adjusted capital contribution to $729 per unit.  On November 24,
1997, the Partnership made a capital distribution of $2,004,408 ($168 per
limited partnership unit) from the sale proceeds of Fairmont, which reduced the
adjusted capital contribution to $561 per unit.

      At June 30, 1999, the Partnership had $1,309,889 in cash and cash
equivalents, of which $92,917 was used for cash distributions to the partners on
July 29, 1999; the remainder is being retained for working capital reserves.
The source of future liquidity and cash distributions to partners will be cash
generated by the Partnership's remaining real estate investment and invested
cash and cash equivalents.  Distributions of cash from operations related to the
first two quarters of 1998 were made at the annualized rate of 7.0% on the
adjusted capital contribution of $561 per unit.  Cash distributions from
operations related to the first two quarters of 1999 were made at the annualized
rate of 5.5% on the adjusted capital contribution of $561 per unit.  The
decrease in the 1999 distribution rate is due to lower projected cash flow from
the Shasta Way investment as a result of an anticipated 1999 sale.

      The carrying value of the remaining real estate investment in the
financial statements at June 30, 1999 is at depreciated cost.  However, it is
the Partnership's policy that if the investment's carrying value is determined
not to be recoverable through expected undiscounted future cash flows, the
carrying value is reduced to estimated fair market value.  The fair market value
of such an investment is further reduced by the estimated cost of sale for
properties held for sale.  Carrying value may be greater or less than current
appraised value.  At June 30, 1999, the appraised value of the Partnership's
remaining real estate investment exceeded its carrying value by approximately
$1,900,000.  The current appraised value of real estate investments has been
determined by the Managing General Partner and is generally based on a
combination of traditional appraisal approaches performed by the Advisor and
independent appraisers.  Because of the subjectivity inherent in the valuation
process, the current appraised value may differ significantly from that which
could be realized if the real estate were actually offered for sale in the
marketplace.

Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure
- ------------------------------

     The Year 2000 Issue is a result of computer programs being written using
two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Computer programs
that have date-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year
1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system failure or
miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among other
things, a temporary inability to process transactions or engage in normal
business operations.

     The Partnership relies on AEW Capital Management L.P. ("AEW Capital
Management"), the parent of AEW Real Estate Advisors, Inc., to generate
financial information and to provide other services which are dependent on the
use of computers.  The Partnership has obtained assurances from AEW Capital
Management that:

     .  AEW Capital Management has developed a Year 2000 Plan (the "Plan")
        consisting of five phases: inventory, assessment, testing,
        remediation/repair and certification .

     .  As of September 30, 1998, AEW Capital Management had completed the
        inventory and assessment phases of this Plan and had commenced the
        testing and remediation/repair of internal systems.

     .  AEW Capital Management concluded the internal testing,
        remediation/repair and certifications of its Plan in June 1999.

     The Partnership also relies on joint venture partners and/or property
managers to supply financial and other data with respect to its real properties.
The Partnership is in the process of surveying these third party providers and
assessing their compliance with Year 2000 requirements.  To date, the
Partnership is not aware of any problems that would materially impact its
results of operations, liquidity or capital resources.  However, the Partnership
has not yet obtained written assurances that these providers would be Year 2000
compliant.

     The Partnership is developing a contingency plan in the event of a
particular provider or system not being Year 2000 compliant. The inability of
one of these providers to complete its Year 2000 resolution process could
materially impact the Partnership.  In addition, the Partnership is also subject
to external forces that might generally affect industry and commerce, such as
utility or transportation company Year 2000 compliance failures and related
service interruptions.  Given the nature of its operations, the Partnership will
not incur any costs associated with Year 2000 compliance.  All such costs are
borne by AEW Capital Management and the property managers.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

      Operating Factors

      Shasta Way is 100% occupied by a single tenant under a lease that expires
December 31, 2003.

      Investment Results

      Joint venture earnings from Shasta Way were $92,758 and $162,915 for
the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1999, respectively, compared to
$71,029 and $132,624 for the comparable periods ended June 30, 1998.  The
increases of $21,729 and $30,291 are the result of a rental increase effective
June 30, 1998.

      Cash flow from operations through June 30, 1999 decreased by approximately
$103,000 compared with the same period in 1998.  The decrease is primarily a
result of a lease commission paid at Shasta Way in January of 1999.

      Interest on cash and cash equivalents decreased by approximately
$4,500 and $7,700 between the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999,
compared with the same period in 1998.  The decrease is primarily due to lower
investment balances and lower yields in 1999.

      Portfolio Expenses

      General and administrative expenses primarily consist of real estate
appraisal, legal, accounting, printing and servicing agent fees.  These expenses
did not change significantly during the comparable three and six month periods
ended June 30, 1999, and 1998, respectively.

      The Partnership management fee is 9% of distributable cash flow from
operations after any increase or decrease in working capital reserves as
determined by the managing general partner.  Management fees decreased by $2,514
and increased by $4,983, respectively, between the comparable three and six
month periods ending June 30, 1999 and 1998.  The decrease is a result of the
lower cash distribution rate.  The increase is due to a special distribution
from the operating reserve made in April 1999.
