Item 7. Financial Statements

             The following pro forma financial statements reflect the sale of
        Riverbend Apartments by the Registrant.  The balance sheet as of the
        last filing, March 31, 1998, has been restated to reflect the removal
        of the assets and liabilities of this 594 unit apartment community. 
        The statements of operations for both the three months ended March 31,
        1998 and the year ended December 31, 1997 have been restated to reflect
        the results of operations of the Registrant as if the sale had been
        consummated at the beginning of the periods presented.

             In addition, as Cherry Hill Office center was sold on April 16,
        1998, the assets and liabilities of Cherry Hill Office Center have been
        removed from the balance sheet as of March 31, 1998, and the statements
        of operations for the periods ended March 31, 1998 and December 31,
        1997 have been restated to reflect the results of operations of the
        Registrant as if the sale had been consummated at the beginning of the
        periods presented.  Please refer to Form 8-K filed April 30, 1998 in
        connection with this transaction.

             Furthermore, all items of income and related expenses of
        Plantation Shopping Center, which was sold on December 8, 1997, have
        been removed from the statement of operations for the year ended
        December 31, 1997. The Registrant is reflecting this transaction in
        accordance with the rules and regulations regarding the filing of Form

        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
        annual report on Form 10-K, and quarterly report on Form 10-Q.


(2)     Pro Forma Adjustments
        ---------------------
             The accompanying pro forma financial statements reflect the sale
        of Riverbend Apartments by the Registrant.  The balance sheet as of the
        last filing date, March 31, 1998, has been restated to reflect the
        removal of the assets and liabilities related to Riverbend Apartments,
        including the retirement of the bank loan which was used to finance a
        portion of the purchase of the forty percent co-venturer's interest in
        the apartment community.  The statements of operations for the three
        month period ended March 31, 1998 and the year ended December 31, 1997
        have been restated to reflect the results of operations of the
        Registrant as if the sale had been consummated at the beginning of the
        periods presented.  As previously reported, the Registrant purchased
        the forty percent co-venturer's interest in the apartment community on
        December 15, 1997.  However, the pro forma effect on the statement of
        operations of the Registrant as a result of the acquisition of the
        forty percent co-venturer's interest in Riverbend Apartments is negated
        by the subsequent sale.  Therefore, the net effect of the transactions
        has been reflected in the pro forma statement of operations for the
        year ended December 31, 1997.  Please refer to the Form 8-K filed
        December 22, 1997, and the annual report on Form 10-K, for additional
        discussion regarding the acquisition of the forty percent co-venturer's
        interest in Riverbend Apartments.

                 In addition, the accompanying pro forma financial statements
         reflect the sale of Cherry Hill Office Center by the Registrant on
         April 16, 1998.  The balance sheet as of the last filing, March 31,
         1998, has been restated to reflect the removal of the assets and
         liabilities of the office center.  The statements of operations for
         both the three months ended March 31, 1998 and the year ended December
         31, 1997 have been restated to reflect the results of operations of
         the Registrant as if the sale had been consummated at the beginning of
         the periods presented. Please refer also to the Form 8-K dated April
         16, 1998 filed in connection with this transaction.

             Furthermore, all items of income and related expenses of
        Plantation Shopping Center, which was sold on December 8, 1997, have
        been removed from the statement of operations for the year ended
        December 31, 1997. The Registrant is reflecting this transaction in
        accordance with the rules and regulations regarding the filing of Form
        8-K, as the sale was consummated during the fiscal year presented. 
        Please refer also to the Form 8-K dated December 8, 1997, as amended,
        filed in connection with this transaction.

                 All the assets and related liabilities of Riverbend Apartments
         have been removed from the historical balance sheet to reflect the
         sale of the property.  Assets removed include that portion of "real
         estate assets held for sale" pertaining to Riverbend Apartments,
         $20,883,712, and prepaid expenses totalling $44,534.  Liabilities
         removed include the short-term bank loan of $4,000,000 that had been
         used to finance a portion of the purchase of the forty percent co-
         venturer's interest in Riverbend Apartments, accrued operating
         expenses of $85,090, $26,396 of interest accrued on the short-term
         note, and $98,938 of tenant security deposits.  The balance of cash
         has been increased to reflect the proceeds of sale reduced by the
         retirement of the short-term note.  The partners' capital accounts are
         adjusted accordingly.  All adjustments are shown as of the date of the
         last balance sheet filed, March 31, 1998.

             The assets and related liabilities of Cherry Hill Office Center
        have been removed from the historical balance sheet to reflect the sale
        of the property.  Assets removed include that portion of "real estate
        assets held for sale" pertaining to the office center, $4,100,422,
        amounts recorded as receivable from tenants, $152,379, and
        miscellaneous other assets totalling $32,498. Amounts recorded as
        receivable from tenants include accrued rental income of $99,169,
        (representing straight-line rent as provided by generally accepted
        accounting principles which is calculated as the difference between
        cash rent paid under the lease and the average rent due over the non-
        cancelable term of the lease), and other amounts due from tenants
        totalling $53,210.  Liabilities removed include amounts recorded as
        tenant security deposits, $83,111, accrued property operating expenses
        totalling $26,396, and prepaid rents of $7,956.  The balance of cash
        has been increased for the proceeds from the sale of the office center. 
        Although the proceeds from the sale of Cherry Hill Office Center,
        approximately $4,645,000, were used, in part, to retire the bank loan
        which was used to finance a portion of the purchase of the forty
        percent co-venturer's interest in Riverbend Apartments, since the
        balance sheet is restated to reflect the sale of both the apartment
        community and the office center, the retirement of the bank loan is
        attributed to the sale of Riverbend Apartments on the pro forma
        financial statements. The partners' capital accounts are adjusted to
        reflect the net effect of the gain on sale of approximately $630,000
        (see Note 3), and the write-off of amounts recorded as receivable from
        tenants of $152,379.  All adjustments are shown as of the date of the
        last balance sheet filed, March 31, 1998.

                 All items of income of Riverbend Apartments have been removed
         from the statements of operations for the periods presented, including
         rental and other income received from tenants. All expenses relating
         to the property, including interest accrued on the mortgage, real
         estate operating expenses, taxes, and other expenses have also been
         removed from the statements of operations.  In addition, management
         fees have been reduced to reflect the sale of the property.  No
         depreciation expense is included in the pro forma financial statements
         since the property had been classified as an asset held for sale. The
         aforementioned income and expense adjustments have been prepared as if
         the sale had taken place at the beginning of the periods presented. 
         In accordance with the rules and regulations regarding the filing of
         Form 8-K, no gain or loss from the sale of the real estate is
         reflected in the pro forma statements of operations.  (See also Note
         3.)

        mortgage, real estate operating expenses and taxes, depreciation, and
        other expenses have also been removed from the statement of operations.

        estate is reflected in the pro forma statement of operations.  The

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

             The sale of Riverbend Apartments resulted in a gain for financial
        reporting purposes of approximately $3,400,000.  The sale of Cherry
        Hill Office Center resulted in a gain for financial reporting purposes
        of approximately $630,000.  The gains for tax purposes will be computed
        using the tax bases of the assets sold, and will differ from the gains
        reported on the financial statements.  In accordance with the rules and
        regulations regarding the filing of Form 8-K, no gain or loss from the
        sale of the real estate is reflected in the pro forma statements of
        operations.
