         from liability for the underlying mortgage notes secured by the properties,  represent non-cash investing
         and financing activity which has been excluded from the statements of cash flows.

                                    The accompanying notes are an integral part of these statements.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
                   -----------------------------------------

(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, results of operations and cash flows for the interim
         periods.   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 annual report on Form 10-K. 
         Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to make them
         comparable with the current year presentation.

                 The results of operations for the three and nine month periods
         ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 are not necessarily indicative of
         the results to be expected for the full year.

(2)      Mortgage Notes Payable
         ----------------------

                 During the nine months period ended September 30, 1996, the
         Registrant refinanced the mortgage note secured by Plantation Shopping
         Center. The existing mortgage note, with a balance of $5,173,000, was
         retired and a short-term secured note of $5,350,000 obtained from a
         bank was placed on the property.  Payment terms of the new note
         include interest only, based upon a fixed spread over a LIBOR index,
         until the maturity of the note at the end of 1997.  The Registrant
         expects to evaluate the potential for a sale of the shopping center or
         to refinance the new short-term loan with more conventional long term
         financing prior to the maturity of the note.

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

                 As previously reported, the Registrant stopped making
         regularly scheduled payments on the mortgage note secured by 1010
         Market Street office building in May, 1996.  The lender, Connecticut
         General Life Insurance Company, filed a Notice of Default on May 9,
         and a notice of Acceleration of Debt on May 22, 1996.  The lender then
         drew the full amount, $1,038,000, of the irrevocable letters of credit
         which served as additional collateral securing the financing for the
         1010 Market Street office building.  The Registrant secured a short-
         term loan from a bank to reimburse the draw on the letter of credit,
         then repaid the short-term loan in full before the end of the second
         quarter.  On August 1, 1996, the lender filed a Notice of Foreclosure
         Sale.  Title to the property was taken by the lender on August 28,
         1996 in a foreclosure sale.  The Registrant had a gain of $4,415,000
         as a result of the disposition of this investment in real estate.  The
         foreclosure will have negative tax consequences for some partners.

                 Also 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.  Negotiations with the lender were
         concluded on May 22, 1996, when the title to the property was
         transferred to a designee of the lender.  Consideration 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 assumption by
         the designee of the ground lease.  The Registrant had a gain of
         $7,536,000 associated with the disposition.  The disposition will have
         negative tax consequences for some partners.

         the Management Discussion and Analysis.

(4)      Commitments and Contingencies
         -----------------------------

                 The Registrant is a party to certain actions directly related
         to its normal business operations.  While the ultimate outcome is not
         presently determinable with certainty, the Registrant believes that
         the resolution of these matters will not have a material effect on its
         financial position and results of operations.

           ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                 THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
                 ----------------------------------------------

         General               
         -------

                 The financial statements as of and for the three months ended
         September 30, 1996 reflect the operations of two office properties,
         including the 1010 Market Street office building (See Footnote 3 of
         the Financial Statements), one shopping center, two residential garden
         apartment properties and two joint ventures.  The financial statements
         as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 reflect the
         operations of three office properties, including the International
         Jewelry Center and 1010 Market Street office building (See Footnote 3
         of the Financial Statements), one shopping center, two residential
         garden apartment properties and two joint ventures.        The
         financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30,
         1995 reflect the operations of three office properties, one shopping
         center, three residential garden apartment properties and two joint
         ventures.

                 Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1996
         decreased $2,644,000 to approximately $3,041,000 from approximately
         $5,685,000 for the three months ended September  30, 1995.  Net income
         after gain on disposition of investments in real estate for the three
         months ended September 30, 1996 increased $4,883,000 to approximately
         $2,996,000 from a net loss of approximately $1,887,000 for the three
         months ended September 30, 1995.

                 Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
         decreased $4,117,000 to approximately $13,216,000 from approximately
         $17,332,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  Net income
         after gain on disposition of investments in real estate for the nine
         months ended September 30, 1996 increased $10,913,000 to approximately
         $5,434,000 from a net loss of approximately $5,479,000 for the nine
         months ended September 30, 1995.

                 Changes in total revenues and net income/loss are
         substantially attributable to the sale of Sahara Palms Apartments in
         December, 1995, the disposition of the International Jewelry Center in
         May, 1996, and the disposition of 1010 Market Street in August, 1996.

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

                 As of September 30, 1996, the Registrant had cash and cash
         equivalents of $162,000 in addition to $669,000 of deposits held in
         escrow by certain lenders for the payment of insurance, real estate
         taxes, and certain capital and maintenance costs.  These balances are
         approximately $3,619,000 less than cash, cash equivalents, and
         deposits held in escrow on December 31, 1995.  The decrease is
         primarily due to the payment of a required principal reduction of
         $1,500,000 paid to the former lender of the mortgage note secured by
         Plantation Shopping Center, payment of $1,038,370 to reimburse the
         letter of credit securing the financing for 1010 Market Street office
         building, and approximately $410,000 of mortgage principal paid
         through regularly scheduled payments.  In addition, the Registrant
         made expenditures of approximately $1,335,000 for capital additions to
         existing properties during the period.

                 Debt at September 30, 1996 consisted of approximately $22
         million of nonrecourse first mortgage notes payable secured by real
         estate owned by the Registrant, and a note of $5,350,000 secured by
         Plantation Shopping Center.  The Registrant will evaluate the
         possibility of a sale of Plantation or more conventional long term
         financing before the term of the note expires at the end of 1997.  The
         Registrant is negotiating with the current lender for the mortgage
         loan secured by Meadowwood Apartments to extend the maturity of the
         loan, increase the loan amount, and reduce the interest rate.  Other
         scheduled maturities through regularly scheduled monthly payments of
         principal and interest will be approximately $56,000 for the last
         quarter of 1996.  The terms of certain mortgage notes require monthly
         escrow of estimated annual real estate tax, insurance and reserves for
         repairs, maintenance and improvements to the secured property, in
         addition to the payments of principal and interest.  The Registrant
         has no other debt except normal trade accounts payable and expenses,
         and accrued interest on previously discussed mortgage notes payable.

                 Cash flow from the Registrant's apartment properties has been
         increasing moderately, reflecting the strong Atlanta and Reno
         apartment submarkets.  Based upon the refinancing of the loan with a
         significantly lower interest rate and debt service requirement,
         Plantation Center is expected to generate positive cash flow for the
         balance of 1996.  The disposition of International Jewelry Center from
         the Registrant's portfolio of investments will not have a significant
         impact on cash flows since, during recent years, the Registrant paid
         debt service to the lender equal to the cash flow from the operations
         of the property.  Likewise, 





<PAGE>9

         the elimination of 1010 Market Street office building is not expected
         to have a significant impact on the future cash flows of the
         Registrant.  The Registrant's remaining properties are expected to
         generate sufficient cash flow to cover operating, financing and
         capital improvement costs for the foreseeable future.


         Holiday Park Apartments                               
         -----------------------

                 Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1996
         increased $5,000 to approximately $270,000 from $265,000 for the three
         months ended September 30, 1995.  Net loss after depreciation and
         mortgage interest expense for the three months ended September 30,
         1996 decreased $6,000 to $29,000 from $35,000 for the three months
         ended September 30, 1995.  The increase in revenues is primarily a
         result of a stronger apartment market as evidenced by rental increases
         implemented at the property during the year which increased revenues
         $5,000, while average occupancy remained unchanged from the prior
         year.  The decrease in net loss was primarily due to the increased
         revenues and a decrease in mortgage interest expense of $1,000.

                 Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
         increased $23,000 to $819,000 from $796,000 for the nine months ended
         September 30, 1995.  Net loss after depreciation and mortgage interest
         expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 decreased $34,000
         to $71,000 from $105,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. 
         The increase in revenues is primarily a result of a stronger apartment
         market as discussed above, as rental increases implemented at the
         property increased revenues $14,000, increased occupancy during the
         nine month period increased revenues $6,000, and increases in
         miscellaneous income increased revenues $3,000.  The decrease in net
         loss was primarily due to the increased revenue and decreases in
         repairs and maintenance costs of $9,000, and interest expense of
         $2,000.

         Meadow Wood Apartments
         ----------------------

                 Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1996
         increased $86,000 to $1,190,000 from $1,104,000 for the three months
         ended September 30, 1995. Net income after depreciation and mortgage
         interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
         increased $57,000 to $36,000 from a net loss of $21,000 for the three
         months ended September 30, 1995.  The increase in revenues is
         primarily due to the implementation of increased rental rates at the
         property which increased revenues $72,000, and increases in
         miscellaneous income which increased revenues $14,000.  The increase
         in net income is primarily due to the increased revenues which were
         partially offset by increases in repairs and maintenance costs of
         $26,000, and increases in payroll expense of $6,000, partially offset
         by decreased interest expense of $3,000.

                 Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
         increased $131,000 to $3,461,000 from $3,330,000 for the nine months
         ended September 30, 1995.  Net income after depreciation and mortgage
         interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
         increased $44,000 to net income of $9,000 from a net loss of $35,000
         for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  The increase in
         revenues is primarily the result of a strong apartment market as
         evidenced by increases in rental rates implemented at the property
         during the last year which increased revenues by $205,000, and
         increases in miscellaneous income which increased income $17,000. 
         These increases were partially offset by decreased occupancy during
         the year which decreased revenues $91,000.  The increase in net income
         is primarily due to the increased revenues and decreases in mortgage
         interest expense of $7,000, partially offset by increases in repairs
         and maintenance costs of $95,000.

         International Jewelry Center                                    
         ----------------------------

                 The Registrant transferred title to the International Jewelry
         Center on May 22, 1996 through negotiations with the former lender
         which resulted in a net gain on disposition of $7,536,000.  (Please
         refer to Footnote 3 of the Financial Statements.)

                 Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1996
         decreased to $-0- from $1,702,000 for the three months ended September
         30, 1995.  Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 1996
         decreased to $-0- from $840,000 for the three months ended September
         30, 1995.  There was no reportable activity for the quarter for the
         International Jewelry Center due to the disposition earlier in the
         year.





<PAGE>11

                 Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
         decreased $2,302,000 to $2,853,000 from $5,155,000 for the nine months
         ended September 30, 1995.  Net loss before the gain on disposition and
         after depreciation and mortgage interest expense for the nine months
         ended September 30, 1996 increased $1,141,000 to $3,482,000 from
         $2,341,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.

                 Due to the disposition of the property by the Registrant, the
         reporting period for the International Jewelry Center ended on May 22,
         1996.  The changes in revenues and net loss are substantially due to
         the shortened reporting periods.  Also included in the activity for
         the reporting period is a write-off of bad debt expense of $1,931,000
         which increased the net loss reported for the nine months ended
         September 30, 1996.


         Plantation Shopping Center                                  
         --------------------------

                 Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1996
         decreased $101,000 to $233,000 from $334,000 for the three months
         ended September 30, 1995.  Net loss after depreciation and mortgage
         interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 1996
         decreased $98,000 to $78,000 from $176,000 for the three months ended
         September 30, 1995.  The decrease in total revenues was primarily due
         to decreases in rental rates for new and renewal leases at the
         property which decreased revenues $64,000, a decrease in average
         occupancy of approximately 10.4% to 70.5% from 80.9% for the period a
         year earlier which decreased revenues $28,000, and decreases in
         escalation income which decreased revenues $9,000.  The decrease in
         net loss is primarily due decreases in interest expense of $214,000
         and professional fees of $9,000, partially offset by the decrease in
         revenue and an increase in depreciation expense of $26,000.

                 Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
         decreased $16,000 to $1,082,000 from $1,098,000 for the nine months
         ended September 30, 1995.  Net loss after depreciation and mortgage
         interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
         decreased $335,000 to $68,000 from $403,000 for the nine months ended
         September 30, 1995.  The decrease in total revenues was primarily due
         to a decrease in average occupancy of 4% to 76% for the nine months
         ended September 30, 1996 from 80% for the period a year earlier, which
         decreased income $40,000.  In addition, lower escalation income
         decreased revenues $40,000.  These decreases in revenue were partially
         offset by increases in participation rents of $15,000, and increases
         in rental rates charged at the property for new and renewal leases
         which increased revenues $47,000.  The decrease in net loss is
         primarily due to decreases in mortgage interest expense of $418,000,
         partially offset by increases in depreciation expense of $67,000, and
         the decrease in revenues.

         1010 Market Street                          
         ------------------

                 The Registrant returned title to the property to the lender on
         August 28, 1996 in a foreclosure sale which resulted in a net gain of
         approximately $4,415,000.  (Please refer to Footnote 3 of the
         Financial Statements.)

                 Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1996
         decreased $505,000 to $942,000 from $1,447,000 for the three months
         ended September 30, 1995.  Net loss before gain on disposition and
         after depreciation and mortgage interest expense for the three months
         ended September 30, 1996 increased $1,764,000 to $1,963,000 from
         $199,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1995.

                 Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
         decreased $556,000 to $3,816,000 from $4,372,000 for the nine months
         ended September 30, 1995.  Net loss before gain on disposition and
         after depreciation and mortgage interest expense for the nine months
         ended September 30, 1996 increased $1,154,000 to $1,682,000 from
         $528,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.

                 Due to the disposition of the property by the Registrant, the
         reporting period for 1010 Market Street office building ended on
         August 28, 1996.  The changes in revenues and net loss are
         substantially due to the shortened reporting periods.  Also included
         in the activity for the reporting period is a write-off of bad debt
         expense of approximately $600,000 which increased the net loss
         reported for the periods.

         Cherry Hill Office Center
         -------------------------

                 Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1996
         increased $50,000 to $392,000 from $342,000 for the three months ended
         September 30, 1995.  Net income after depreciation and mortgage
         interest expense increased $18,000 to $30,000 from $12,000 for the
         three months ended September 30, 1995.  The increase in revenues was
         primarily due to an increase in average occupancy of 6% to 79% for the
         quarter ended September 30, 1996 from 73% for the comparable period in
         1995, which increased revenues $31,000, and increases in rental rates
         charged on new and renewal leases which increased revenues $18,000. 
         The increase in net income was primarily due to the increased
         revenues, partially offset by increases in repairs and maintenance
         costs of $18,000, depreciation expense of $7,000, and professional
         fees of $7,000.

                 Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
         increased $115,000 to $1,124,000 from $1,009,000 for the nine months
         ended September 30, 1995.  Net income after depreciation and mortgage
         interest expense decreased $30,000 to $53,000 from $83,000 for the
         nine months ended September 30, 1995.  The increase in total revenues
         was primarily due to increases in base rent charged to tenants on new
         and renewal leases which increased revenues by $51,000, an increase in
         average occupancy of 4% to 79% for the nine months ended September 30,
         1996 from 75% for the period a year earlier which increased revenues
         $46,000.  Additionally, there were increases in escalation income of
         $13,000 and miscellaneous income of $4,000.  The decrease in net
         income is primarily due to increased operating expenses, including
         increases in repairs and maintenance costs of $49,000, utilities
         expense of $36,000, depreciation and amortization expense of $25,000,
         payroll and related costs of $15,000,  professional fees of $8,000,
         administrative expenses of $5,000, insurance expense of $5,000, and
         real estate taxes of $2,000.  The increased expenses were partially
         offset by the increased revenues.


         Investment in Joint Venture
         ---------------------------

                 Equity in net income of joint venture for the three months
         ended September 30, 1996 decreased $168,000 to $113,000 from $281,000
         for the three months ended September 30, 1995. The decrease is
         primarily due to a decrease in occupancy of 9% to 87% at September 30,
         1996 as compared to 96% for the previous year.  Lower occupancy is
         attributable decreased demand for housing in the Atlanta area due to
         the conclusion of the Olympic Games, and reduced income $65,000 as
         compared to the period a year earlier.  In addition, net income was
         lower due to increases in operating expenses, primarily increases in
         utilities expense of $44,000, repairs and maintenance costs of
         $27,000, and depreciation expense of $4,000.

                 Equity in net income of joint venture for the nine months
         ended September 30, 1996 decreased $27,000 to $504,000 from $531,000
         for the three months ended September 30, 1995.  The decrease is
         attributable to an increase in depreciation expense of $15,000 and a
         decrease of $11,000 in interest income earned by the venture.
