                         HALLWOOD REALTY PARTNERS, L.P.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                  FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000
                                   (UNAUDITED)


1   ORGANIZATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    Hallwood Realty Partners, L.P. ("HRP"), a publicly traded Delaware limited
    partnership, operates in the commercial real estate business segment. HRP's
    activities include the acquisition, ownership and operation of its
    commercial real estate assets. Units representing limited partnership
    interests are traded on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol "HRY".
    As of September 30, 2000, there were 1,589,948 units outstanding.

    Hallwood Realty, LLC ("Realty" or the "General Partner"), a Delaware limited
    liability company and indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of The Hallwood
    Group Incorporated ("Hallwood"), is HRP's general partner and is responsible
    for asset management of HRP and its real estate properties. Hallwood
    Commercial Real Estate, LLC ("HCRE"), another indirectly wholly-owned
    subsidiary of Hallwood, provides property management, leasing and
    construction supervision services for HRP's real estate properties.

    The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Hallwood
    Realty Partners, L.P. have been prepared in accordance with the instructions
    to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not
    include all of the information and footnote disclosures required by
    accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for
    complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
    considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These
    financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
    consolidated financial statements and related disclosures thereto included
    in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. HRP had no items of other
    comprehensive income in the periods presented.

    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
    principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
    management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
    amounts of certain assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses as of and for
    the reporting periods. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
    Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 are not
    necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
    ending December 31, 2000. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior
    periods' amounts to conform to the classifications used in the current
    periods. The reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported net
    income.

    HRP has reviewed Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 "Revenue Recognition in
    Financial Statements" and does not believe its adoption will have a
    significant impact on its financial position and results of operations.

2   TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

    Realty and HCRE are compensated for services provided to HRP and its real
    estate properties, as set forth in the following table for the periods
    presented (in thousands):

    and compensation, bonuses, employee and director insurance, and certain
    overhead costs. HRP pays the balance of its account with Realty on a monthly
    basis.

3   STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS

    Supplemental disclosure of cash flow information -

         Cash interest payments were $10,408,000 (net of capitalized interest of
         $522,000) and $9,763,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2000
         and 1999, respectively.

    Supplemental disclosure of noncash investing and financing activities -

         The Partnership had a construction payable for property development
         cost at Corporate Square of $2,641,000 as of December 31, 1999.

4   COMPUTATION OF NET INCOME PER UNIT

    Basic net income per unit is computed by dividing net income attributable to
    the limited partners' interests by the weighted average number of units
    outstanding. Net income per unit assuming dilution is computed by dividing
    net income attributable to the limited partners' interests by the weighted
    average number of units and potential units outstanding. Options to acquire
    units were issued during 1995 and are considered to be potential units. The
    number of potential units is computed using the treasury stock method which
    assumes that the increase in the number of units is reduced by the number of
    units which could have been repurchased by HRP with the proceeds from the
    exercise of these options. The following table illustrates the amounts used
    to calculate the weighted average number of units outstanding:

5   PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT

    During the second quarter of 2000, HRP completed new construction of a
    6-story office building containing approximately 151,000 net rentable square
    feet that was commenced in the second quarter of 1999. It was constructed on
    6.1 acres of land that was acquired in May 1997 within the Corporate Square
    complex in Atlanta, Georgia. A 20-year lease with the General Services
    Administration for all six floors was executed in 1999 and the tenant began
    paying rent August 2000.

    As of September 30, 2000, the building construction, tenant improvements,
    lease commissions and loan costs totaled approximately $18,700,000
    (excluding the original land cost). HRP incurred and accrued in 1999, in
    connection with the leasing of the entire project, $2,982,000 of lease
    commissions, of which half was paid in 1999 and half was paid in June 2000.

    An interim-construction loan was secured in August 1999 that funded
    $12,621,000 of the costs ($6,998,000 in 1999 and $5,623,000 in 2000). On
    August 31, 2000, HRP secured permanent financing of $21,500,000. The loan's
    monthly payment is based on a twenty-year amortization period and matures
    August 15, 2020 and has a fixed interest rate of 7.97%. The loan proceeds
    repaid the interim-construction loan and replenished working capital for the
    completed project.

6   MORTGAGES PAYABLE

    In January 2000, HRP obtained financing of $5,500,000 in connection with the
    acquisition of Fountain View Business Center (three 3-story office buildings
    in San Diego, California). The loan contains two notes and has a monthly
    payment based on a twenty-year amortization, matures in ten years and has a
    fixed interest rate of 8.17%.

    In May 2000, HRP closed on a new mortgage generating $2,500,000 of loan
    proceeds and is secured by Riverbank Plaza, which was acquired in August
    1999 in a cash transaction. The loan's monthly payment is based on a
    twenty-year amortization, matures in ten years and has a fixed interest rate
    of 8.29%. The loan proceeds were for general working capital purposes.

    On July 27, 2000, HRP sold its interest rate swap agreement for $1,597,000.
    HRP had entered into an interest rate swap agreement to reduce its exposure
    to changes in interest rates, which was designated as a hedge against
    variable interest exposure relating to a $25,000,000 mortgage loan, secured
    by Allfirst Building, which matures April 30, 2006. This interest rate swap
    agreement, which was settled monthly, effectively fixed the loan's interest
    rate at 6.78%, as opposed to the mortgage loan interest rate of LIBOR plus
    1.30% (or 7.94% at the time of the swap agreement sale). The proceeds were
    designated for general working capital purposes. For financial reporting
    purposes, the proceeds are being amortized over the life of the loan into
    interest expense. As of September 30, 2000 the unamortized balance, included
    on the balance sheet in prepaid rent, security deposits and other, was
    $1,551,000.

    Also on July 27, 2000 and in connection with the sale of the swap agreement,
    HRP purchased an interest rate cap for Allfirst Building's mortgage loan for
    $288,000, which will cap HRP's exposure to changes in interest rates at 10%.
    As of September 30, 2000, Allfirst Building's interest rate was 7.93%.

    On August 4, 2000, HRP received $3,000,000 of loan proceeds from a
    promissory term note secured by a future advance mortgage on Joy Road
    Distribution Center in Detroit, Michigan. The principal payments amortize
    the loan over 24 months. The loan matures July 31, 2002 and has a variable
    interest rate of either prime plus 0.50% or LIBOR plus 3.0% (9.65% as of
    September 30, 2000). The balance as of September 30, 2000 was $2,875,000.
    The loan proceeds were for general working capital purposes.

    Also on August 4, 2000, HRP closed on a $2,000,000 revolving line of credit.
    The line of credit matures July 31, 2001, has a variable interest rate of
    either prime plus 0.50% or LIBOR plus 3.0%, and requires monthly interest
    payments but no principal amortization. As of September 30, 2000, HRP had
    not borrowed against this facility.

    On August 31, 2000, HRP secured permanent financing for the completed
    development project at Corporate Square - see Note 5 for further
    information.

7   CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS

    As part of the resignation of Brian Troup as an officer and director of
    Hallwood and HRP's general partner on December 21, 1999, Hallwood
    transferred 82,608 units of HRP that it owned to a trust controlled by Mr.
    Troup. On May 12, 2000, Mr. Troup exercised his unit options to purchase
    17,200 HRP units at the option plan's exercise price of $11.875 per unit,
    which generated $601,000 of non-cash compensation. Also on May 12, 2000, HRP
    purchased and retired all of Mr. Troup's above-mentioned 99,808 units at
    $46.825 per unit (the average of the closing market prices of the units for
    the twenty trading days prior to the purchase). As a result of these
    transactions, HRP's outstanding units have decreased from 1,672,556 to
    1,589,948.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                  FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000
                                   (UNAUDITED)


8   LITIGATION

    Reference is made to Note 10 to the audited consolidated financial
    statements contained in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.

    Beginning in 1997, HRP has been involved in two lawsuits that were brought
    by Gotham Partners, L.P. in the Delaware Court of Chancery. The first suit
    sought access to certain books and records of HRP and was subsequently
    settled. The second action alleges claims of breach of fiduciary duties,
    breach of HRP's partnership agreement, and fraud in connection with certain
    transactions involving HRP's units in the mid 1990's. Hallwood is alleged to
    have aided and abetted the alleged breaches. On June 21, 2000, after
    completing fact discovery, all parties moved for summary judgment on several
    issues. In September and October, 2000, the Delaware court issued three
    separate written opinions resolving the summary judgment motions. In the
    opinions, the court ruled that trial would be required as to all issues,
    except that (i) Gotham was found to have standing to pursue its derivative
    claims; (ii) defendants were entitled to judgment dismissing the fraud
    claim; (iii) the general partner was entitled to judgment dismissing the
    breach of fiduciary duty claims brought against it; and (iv) the general
    partner's outside directors were entitled to judgment dismissing all claims
    brought against them. The action will now proceed to trial, which is
    currently scheduled for January 2001. HRP's management believes that the
    claims are without merit and intend to defend against the claims vigorously,
    but cannot predict the outcome of the claims or any possible effect an
    adverse outcome might have.

    On February 15, 2000, HRP filed a lawsuit in the United States District
    Court for the Southern District of New York styled Hallwood Realty Partners,
    L.P. v. Gotham Partners, L.P. et al (Civ. No. 00 CV 115) alleging violations
    of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by certain purchasers of its units,
    including Gotham Partners, L.P., Gotham Partners, III, L.P., Private
    Management Group, Inc., Interstate Properties, Steven Roth and EFO Realty,
    Inc., by virtue of those purchasers' misrepresentations and/or omissions in
    connection with filings required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
    HRP seeks various forms of relief, including declaratory judgments,
    divestiture, corrective disclosures, a "cooling-off" period and damages,
    including costs and disbursements. In late March 2000, all defendants filed
    motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim and failure to plead fraud
    with sufficient particularity. On May 3, 2000, these motions were denied in
    their entirety, allowing the case to proceed. Defendant Private Management
    Group, Inc. also filed a motion to dismiss for lack of proper jurisdiction,
    or in the alternative, to transfer. This motion was denied on July 10, 2000.
    On October 6, 2000, HRP filed a motion for leave to file an amended
    complaint (a) to add as defendants Gotham Holdings II, L.L.C., Hallwood
    Investors, L.P., Liberty Realty Partners, L.P. and EFO/Liberty, Inc., as
    discovery has revealed that each of the proposed additional defendants is an
    actual or beneficial owner of HRP Units, (b) to remove EFO Realty, Inc. as a
    defendant, and (c) to make certain minor corrections and clarifications to
    HRP's original allegations, all consistent with discovery to date. No party
    opposed the motion. Discovery has been proceeding and is set to be completed
    by December 8, 2000.

    HRP is from time to time involved in various other legal proceedings and
    claims which arise in the ordinary course of business. These matters are
    generally covered by insurance. Management believes that the resolution of
    these matters will not have a material adverse effect on HRP's financial
    position, cash flow or operations.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THIRD QUARTER OF 2000 COMPARED TO THE THIRD QUARTER OF 1999

REVENUE FROM PROPERTY OPERATIONS increased $2,024,000, or 13.6%, for the third
quarter of 2000, compared to the 1999 third quarter. The following table
illustrates the components of the change, in thousands:

<TABLE>
<S>                                                 <C>
     Rental income, net                             $ 1,879
     Other property income                              145
                                                    -------
        Net increase                                $ 2,024
                                                    =======
</TABLE>

Overall, net rental income increased due to higher rental rates and the addition
of three real estate properties to HRP's portfolio since August 1999 and the
addition of one development property, partially offset by a decline in average
occupancy between the comparable periods from 93.4% to 88.5%.

INTEREST INCOME increased by $7,000 as a result of increased earnings on
overnight investments due to slightly higher interest rates between the periods.

PROPERTY OPERATING EXPENSES increased $862,000, or 14.3%, for the third quarter
of 2000, compared to the same period in 1999. The increase is comprised
primarily of the following components:

      o  Operating cost increases of $550,000 with respect to the addition of
         three real estate properties since August 1999 and the addition of one
         development property.

      o  Group health insurance premiums increased $86,000.

      o  Repair and maintenance costs increased $80,000 for comparable
         properties between periods primarily due to heating/air conditioning
         system repairs, as well as certain building repairs.

      o  Professional fees increased $23,000 primarily due to costs for research
         and analysis of potential property development projects.

      o  Management fees increased $21,000 for comparable properties between
         periods due to an increase in net rental income.

      o  Combined, all other operating costs increased $102,000, or less than
         2%, between the periods.

INTEREST EXPENSE increased $524,000, or 15.3%, for the third quarter of 2000 as
compared to the same period in 1999, as as a result of an increase in mortgage
interest of $466,000 (due to a higher average mortgage balance, in the
aggregate, between the periods) and, due to a lesser extent, an increase in loan
cost amortization of $58,000.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION EXPENSE increased $376,000, or 12.6%, primarily
due to an increase in building cost depreciation as a result of the addition of
three real estate properties to HRP's portfolio since August 1999 and the
addition of one development property.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES increased $190,000, or 24.2%, for the third
quarter of 2000, as compared to the same period in 1999, primarily due to higher
professional fees incurred with proposed acquisitions, travel, and miscellaneous
legal fees.

LITIGATION COSTS were $1,359,000 and $700,000 for the third quarter of 2000 and
1999, respectively, and are related to the lawsuits described in Note 8 to the
consolidated financial statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUED

FIRST NINE MONTHS OF 2000 COMPARED TO THE FIRST NINE MONTHS OF 1999

REVENUE FROM PROPERTY OPERATIONS increased $5,638,000, or 13.0%, for the first
nine months of 2000, compared to the first nine months of 1999. The following
table illustrates the components of the change, in thousands:

<TABLE>
<S>                                                   <C>
     Rental income, net                               $ 5,042
     Other property income                                596
                                                      -------
        Net increase                                  $ 5,638
                                                      =======
</TABLE>

Overall, net rental income increased due to higher rental rates and the addition
of three real estate properties to HRP's portfolio since August 1999 and the
addition of one development property, partially offset by a decline in average
occupancy between the comparable periods from 92.7% to 89.6%.

INTEREST INCOME decreased by $46,000 as a result of reduced earnings on
overnight investments primarily due to lower average cash balances available for
investment between the periods, partially offset by slightly higher interest
rates.

PROPERTY OPERATING EXPENSES increased $1,961,000, or 11.3%, for the first nine
months of 2000, compared to the same period in 1999. The increase is comprised
primarily of the following components:

      o  Operating cost increases of $1,065,000 with respect to the addition of
         three real estate properties since August 1999 and the addition of one
         development property.

      o  Professional fees increased $301,000 primarily due to costs for
         research and analysis of potential property development projects.

      o  Repair and maintenance costs increased $337,000 for comparable
         properties between periods primarily due to heating/air conditioning
         system repairs, as well as landscaping and certain interior and
         building repairs.

      o  Management fees increased $111,000 for comparable properties between
         periods due to an increase in net rental income.

      o  Combined, all other operating costs increased $147,000, or less than
         1%, between the periods.

INTEREST EXPENSE increased $934,000, or 9.2%, for the first nine months of 2000
as compared to the same period in 1999, as a result of an increase in mortgage
interest of $763,000 (due to a higher average mortgage balance, in the
aggregate, between the periods) and, due to a lesser extent, an increase in loan
cost amortization of $171,000.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION EXPENSE increased $793,000, or 8.8%, primarily due
to an increase in building cost depreciation as a result of the addition of
three real estate properties to HRP's portfolio since August 1999 and the
addition of one development property.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES increased $940,000, or 38.5%, for the first
nine months of 2000, as compared to the same period in 1999, primarily as a
result of $601,000 of non-cash compensation generated from the exercise of unit
options in May 2000, (see Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements). All
other costs increased $339,000 due to higher professional fees incurred with
proposed acquisitions, travel, and miscellaneous legal fees.

LITIGATION COSTS were $3,267,000 and $1,310,000 for the first nine months of
2000 and 1999, respectively, and are related to the lawsuits described in Note 8
to the consolidated financial statements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

HRP operates in the commercial real estate business segment. HRP's activities
include the acquisition, ownership and operation of its commercial real estate
assets. While it is the General Partner's intention to operate HRP's existing
real estate investments and to acquire and operate additional real estate
investments, Realty also continually evaluates each of HRP's real estate
investments in light of current economic trends and operations to determine if
any should be considered for disposal.

As of September 30, 2000, HRP owned fifteen real estate properties located in
six states containing 5,595,000 net rentable square feet. HRP seeks to maximize
the value of its real estate by making capital and tenant improvements, by
executing marketing programs to attract and retain tenants, and by controlling
or reducing, where possible, operating expenses.

HRP's cash position has increased $6,527,000 from $8,332,000 as of December 31,
1999 to $14,859,000 as of September 30, 2000. The sources of cash during the
nine month period were $12,238,000 of cash provided by operating activities;
$38,123,000 of mortgage loan proceeds; and $213,000 from the exercise and
issuance of unit options. The uses of cash during the period were $12,621,000 of
mortgage principal repayments from mortgage proceeds; $7,791,000 of property
acquisition costs; $8,731,000 of property development costs; $6,942,000 of
property and tenant improvements; $4,721,000 of costs to purchase units;
$2,323,000 of scheduled mortgage principal payments; and $918,000 of loan fees
and expenses.

For the foreseeable future, HRP anticipates that mortgage principal payments,
tenant and capital improvements, lease commissions and litigation costs will be
funded by net cash from operations. The primary sources of capital to fund any
future acquisitions or developments will be proceeds from the sale, financing or
refinancing of one or more of its real estate properties.

HRP has estimated commitments for tenant and capital improvements of
approximately $4,700,000 for projects either in progress or for projects
budgeted over the next six months. Additionally, HRP estimates that it will
spend about $800,000 for the remainder of 2000 on lease commissions.

Each quarter Realty reviews HRP's capacity to make cash distributions. HRP has
not made any cash distributions since February, 1992.

MORTGAGES -

In May 2000, HRP closed on a new mortgage generating $2,500,000 of loan proceeds
and is secured by Riverbank Plaza, which was acquired in August 1999 in a cash
transaction. The loan's monthly payment is based on a twenty-year amortization,
matures in ten years and has a fixed interest rate of 8.29%. The loan proceeds
were for general working capital purposes.

On July 27, 2000, HRP sold its interest rate swap agreement for $1,597,000. HRP
had entered into an interest rate swap agreement to reduce its exposure to
changes in interest rates, which was designated as a hedge against variable
interest exposure relating to a $25,000,000 mortgage loan, secured by Allfirst
Building, which matures April 30, 2006. This interest rate swap agreement, which
was settled monthly, effectively fixed the loan's interest rate at 6.78%, as
opposed to the mortgage loan interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.30% (or 7.94% at the
time of the swap agreement sale). The proceeds were designated for general
working capital purposes. For financial reporting purposes, the proceeds are
being amortized over the life of the loan into interest expense. As of September
30, 2000 the unamortized balance, included on the balance sheet in prepaid rent,
security deposits and other, was $1,551,000.

Also on July 27, 2000 and in connection with the sale of the swap agreement, HRP
purchased an interest rate cap for Allfirst Building's mortgage loan for
$288,000, which will cap HRP's exposure to changes in interest rates at 10%. As
of September 30, 2000, Allfirst Building's interest rate was 7.93%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED) -

MORTGAGES  (CONTINUED) -

On August 4, 2000, HRP received $3,000,000 of loan proceeds from a promissory
term note secured by a future advance mortgage on Joy Road Distribution Center
in Detroit, Michigan. The principal payments amortize the loan over 24 months.
The loan matures July 31, 2002 and has a variable interest rate of either prime
plus 0.50% or LIBOR plus 3.0% (9.65% as of September 30, 2000). The balance as
of September 30, 2000 was $2,875,000. The loan proceeds were for general working
capital purposes.

Also on August 4, 2000, HRP closed on a $2,000,000 revolving line of credit. The
line of credit matures July 31, 2001, has a variable interest rate of either
prime plus 0.50% or LIBOR plus 3.0%, and requires monthly interest payments but
no principal amortization. As of September 30, 2000, HRP had not borrowed
against this facility.

Substantially all of the buildings in HRP's real estate properties were
encumbered by and pledged as collateral under non- recourse mortgages
aggregating $194,491,000 as of September 30, 2000. HRP has no mortgage loans
maturing or requiring balloon principal payments until 2003. Based upon loan
amortizations in effect, HRP is required to pay approximately $1,171,000 of
principal payments during the remainder of 2000.

PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT -

During the second quarter of 2000, HRP completed new construction of a 6-story
office building containing approximately 151,000 net rentable square feet that
was commenced in the second quarter of 1999. It was constructed on 6.1 acres of
land that was acquired in May 1997 within the Corporate Square complex in
Atlanta, Georgia. A 20-year lease with the General Services Administration for
all six floors was executed in 1999 and the tenant began paying rent August
2000.

As of September 30, 2000, the building construction, tenant improvements, lease
commissions and loan costs totaled approximately $18,700,000 (excluding the
original land cost). HRP incurred and accrued in 1999, in connection with the
leasing of the entire project, $2,982,000 of lease commissions, of which half
was paid in 1999 and half was paid in June 2000.

An interim-construction loan was secured in August 1999 that funded $12,621,000
of the costs ($6,998,000 in 1999 and $5,623,000 in 2000). On August 31, 2000,
HRP secured permanent financing of $21,500,000. The loan's monthly payment is
based on a twenty-year amortization period and matures August 15, 2020 and has a
fixed interest rate of 7.97%. The loan proceeds repaid the interim-construction
loan and replenished working capital for the completed project.

ACQUISITION -

On January 26, 2000, HRP acquired three 3-story office buildings in San Diego,
California (Fountain View Business Center) containing approximately 89,000 net
rentable square feet on 4.3 acres of land. The property was 95% occupied at the
date of acquisition. The acquisition cost was approximately $7,800,000. HRP
obtained financing for $5,500,000 of the purchase price with a new loan with two
notes. The loan's monthly payment is based on a twenty-year amortization,
matures in ten years and has a fixed interest rate of 8.17%.

UNIT PURCHASE -

As part of the resignation of Brian Troup as an officer and director of Hallwood
and HRP's general partner on December 21, 1999, Hallwood transferred 82,608
units of HRP that it owned to a trust controlled by Mr. Troup. On May 12, 2000,
Mr. Troup exercised his unit options to purchase 17,200 HRP units at the option
plan's exercise price of $11.875 per unit, which generated $601,000 of non-cash
compensation. Also on May 12, 2000, HRP purchased and retired all of Mr. Troup's
above-mentioned 99,808 units at $46.825 per unit (the average of the closing
market prices of the units for the twenty trading days prior to the purchase).
As a result of these transactions, HRP's outstanding units have decreased from
1,672,556 to 1,589,948.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED) -

INFLATION -

Inflation did not have a significant impact on HRP in 1999 and for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000. Additionally, inflation is not anticipated to
have a material impact on HRP for the rest of 2000.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS -

In the interest of providing investors with certain information regarding HRP's
future plans and operations, certain statements set forth in this Form 10-Q
relate to management's future plans, objectives and expectations. Such
statements are forward-looking statements. Although any forward-looking
statements contained in this Form 10-Q or otherwise expressed by or on behalf of
HRP are, to the knowledge and in the judgment of the officers and directors of
the General Partner, expected to prove true and come to pass, management is not
able to predict the future with absolute certainty. Although HRP believes that
the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of
the assumptions could be inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance
that the forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate.

Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties,
which may cause HRP's actual performance and financial results in future periods
to differ materially from any projection, estimate or forecasted result. These
risks and uncertainties include, among other things, interest rates, occupancy
rates, lease rental rates, outcome of litigation, future economic, competitive
and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult
or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the control of
HRP; other risks and uncertainties may be described, from time to time, in HRP's
periodic reports and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

On July 27, 2000, HRP sold its interest rate swap agreement for $1,597,000. HRP
had entered into an interest rate swap agreement to reduce its exposure to
changes in interest rates, which was designated as a hedge against variable
interest exposure relating to a $25,000,000 mortgage loan, secured by Allfirst
Building, which matures April 30, 2006. This interest rate swap agreement, which
was settled monthly, effectively fixed the loan's interest rate at 6.78%, as
opposed to the mortgage loan interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.30% (or 7.94% at the
time of the swap agreement sale). The proceeds were designated for general
working capital purposes.

Also on July 27, 2000 and in connection with the sale of the swap agreement, HRP
purchased an interest rate cap for Allfirst Building's mortgage loan for
$288,000, which will cap HRP's exposure to changes in interest rates at 10%. As
of September 30, 2000, Allfirst Building's interest rate was 7.93%.
