     Item 2. Disposition of Assets

             As previously reported, cash flow generated by International
         Jewelry Center, located in Los Angeles, California, had not been
         sufficient to carry debt service on the mortgage encumbering the
         property.  The Registrant ceased paying scheduled debt service in May
         1993, and since then had been paying debt service based on available
         cash flow from the building.  The loan was declared in default by the
         lender in November 1993, and the lender filed a Notice of Default and
         Election to Sell on March 3, 1995 and a Notice of Trustee's Sale on
         April 24, 1996.  Under the Agreement for Conveyance of Real Property
         dated as of May 22, 1996 (the "Agreement"), International Jewelry
         Associates, LLC, (the "Seller"), the limited liability company wholly
         owned by the Registrant and formed to hold title to the real property
         known as International Jewelry Center (the "Property"), conveyed its
         right, title and interests to the Property to a designee of Teachers
         Insurance and Annuity Association of America, the lender. 
         Consideration under the Agreement for this conveyance was $238,000,
         subject to the first leasehold note and deed of trust, the balance of
         which was $33,898,520, and the designee's assumption of Seller's
         interest in a ground lease.  The Registrant had a gain of
         approximately $7,530,000 associated with the disposition of the
         property.  This transaction will result in unfavorable tax
         consequences for some investors.

     Item 7. Financial Statements

             The following pro forma financial statements reflect the
         disposition of the International Jewelry Center by the Registrant. 
         The balance sheet as of the last filing, March 31, 1996 has been
         restated to reflect the removal of the assets and liabilities of the
         International Jewelry Center, and the Statements of Operations for
         both the three months ended March 31, 1996 and the year ended December
         31, 1995 have been restated to reflect the results of operations of
         the Registrant as if the disposition had been consummated at the
         beginning of the periods presented.

                       NOTES TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                       ---------------------------------------

     (1) Accounting and Financial Reporting
         ----------------------------------

             The financial  statements included herein  are unaudited; however,
         the information reflects  all adjustments (consisting solely  of normal
         recurring  adjustments)  that  are,  in  the   opinion  of  management,
         necessary to a  fair presentation of the financial position and results
         of operations  for the  periods presented.     Certain information  and
         footnote  disclosures   normally  included   in  financial   statements
         prepared in accordance  with generally  accepted accounting  principles
         have been condensed  or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations,
         although  the Registrant believes that  the disclosures are adequate to
         make the  information presented not misleading.   It  is suggested that
         these financial  statements be read in  conjunction with  the financial
         statements and  the notes thereto  included in the Registrant's  latest
         quarterly report on Form 10-Q and annual report on Form 10-K. 

     (2) Pro Forma Adjustments
         ---------------------

             All  the  assets  and  related  liabilities  of  the International
         Jewelry  Center  have  been  removed  from   the  historical  financial
         statements to reflect  the disposition of the property.  Assets removed
         include  the  building   and  related   accumulated  depreciation   and
         valuation allowance, and  amounts recorded as receivable  from tenants.
         Liabilities  removed include the first mortgage secured by the property
         and the  related accrued  interest  payable,  and amounts  recorded  as
         tenant security deposits.  A  receivable for the $238,000 consideration
         for  the transfer of  title has been  included in  the restated balance
         sheet.  The partners' capital accounts are adjusted accordingly.

             All items of income  of the  property have been  removed from  the
         statements of  operations for the  periods presented, including  rental
         and  other income  received from tenants  and interest  earned on short
         term  investments.   All expenses  relating to  the property, including
         interest  accrued on the mortgage,  real estate  operating expenses and
         taxes, depreciation,  and other expenses  have also  been removed  from
         the statements of operations.   In addition, management fees  have been
         reduced   to   reflect   the  disposition   of   the  property.     The
         aforementioned income  and expense adjustments have been prepared as if
         the  disposition  had taken  place  at  the  beginning  of the  periods
         presented.

     (3) Gain on Disposition of Investment in Real Estate
         ------------------------------------------------

             The disposition of investment in real estate resulted in a gain of
         approximately $7,530,000.  This gain is not reflected in  the pro forma
         statements of  operations.  The gain for  tax purposes will be computed
         using the  tax basis of  the asset disposed, and  will differ from  the
         gain reported on the financial statements.<PAGE>
