       On March 24, 1997, Crescent Real Estate Equities Company (the "Company")

ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
    

   
        Certain matters discussed within this Form 8-K/A are forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Although Crescent
Real Estate Equities Company ("Crescent Equities" and, collectively with its
subsidiaries, the "Company"), which operates as a real estate investment trust
(a "REIT") for federal income tax purposes, believes that the expectations
reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable
assumptions, there can be no assurance that these expectations will be realized.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from current
expectations include the failure of pending investments to close, changes in
general economic conditions, changes in local real estate conditions, changes in
industries in which the Company's principal tenants compete, the failure to
timely lease unoccupied square footage, the failure to timely re-lease occupied
square footage upon expiration of leases, the inability to generate sufficient
revenues to meet debt service payments and operating expenses, the
unavailability of equity and debt financing and other risks described in this
Form 8-K/A. 
    

PROPOSED SPIN-OFF

   
        In April 1997, the Company established a new Delaware corporation,
Crescent Operating, Inc. ("Crescent Affiliate"), the shares of which will be
distributed by Crescent Real Estate Equities Limited Partnership, which is the
operating partnership of Crescent Equities (the "Operating Partnership"), to its
partners (including Crescent Equities). Crescent Equities will then distribute
the shares of Crescent Affiliate as a dividend to its shareholders in a
spin-off. 
    

   
        Prior to the spin-off, the Company will provide to Crescent Affiliate 
approximately $42.5 million in the form of cash contributions and loans to be 
used by Crescent Affiliate to acquire certain assets described below.  The 
Company will also make available to Crescent Affiliate a line of credit in the 
amount of approximately $20.0 million to be used by Crescent Affiliate to 
fulfill certain ongoing obligations associated with these assets.  In 
addition, Crescent Affiliate will obtain certain rights pursuant to the terms 
of an intercompany agreement to be entered into with the Company in connection 
with the spin-off.
    

        The spin-off is designed to provide the shareholders of the Company at
the time of the spin-off with the ability to benefit from both the real estate
operations of the Company and the related business operations of Crescent
Affiliate.  The spin-off of Crescent Affiliate will result in Crescent
Affiliate's becoming a public company, the shares of which are expected to be
publicly traded no later than the effective date of the spin-off.
 
ACQUISITION OF CARTER-CROWLEY PORTFOLIO

   
        On February 10, 1997, the Company entered into a contract to acquire, 

for approximately $383.3 million, substantially all of the assets (the 
"Carter-Crowley Portfolio") of Carter-Crowley, Inc. ("Carter-Crowley"), an
unaffiliated company controlled by the family of Donald J. Carter. At the time
the contract was executed, the Carter-Crowley Portfolio included 14 office
properties (the "Carter-Crowley Office Portfolio"), with an aggregate of
approximately 3.0 million net rentable square feet, approximately 1,216 acres
of commercially zoned, undeveloped land located in the Dallas/Fort Worth
metropolitan area, two multifamily residential properties located in the
Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area, marketable securities, an approximately
12% limited partner interest in the limited partnership that owns the Dallas
Mavericks NBA basketball franchise, secured and unsecured promissory notes,
certain direct non-operating working interests in various oil and gas wells, an
approximately 35% limited partner interest in two oil and gas limited
partnerships and certain other assets (including operating businesses). 
Pursuant to an agreement between Carter-Crowley and the Company, Carter-Crowley
liquidated approximately $51.0 million of such assets originally included in
the Carter-Crowley Portfolio, consisting  primarily of the marketable
securities and the oil and gas investments, resulting in a reduction in the
total purchase price by a corresponding amount to approximately $332.3 million.
On May 9, 1997, the Company and Crescent Affiliate acquired the Carter-Crowley
Portfolio.  
    
 
   
     The Company acquired certain assets from the Carter-Crowley Portfolio, 
with an aggregate purchase price of approximately $306.3 million, consisting
primarily of the Carter-Crowley Office Portfolio, the two multifamily
residential properties, the approximately 1,216 acres of undeveloped land and
the secured and unsecured promissory notes relating primarily to the Dallas
Mavericks. In addition to the promissory notes relating to the Dallas
Mavericks, the Company obtained the rights from the holders of the majority
interest in the Dallas Mavericks to a contingent $10.0 million payment if a new
arena is built within a 75-mile radius of Dallas. 
    
 
   
     The remainder of the Carter-Crowley Portfolio was purchased by Crescent
Affiliate utilizing cash contributions and loan proceeds that were provided
to Crescent Affiliate by the Company. These assets, which have an allocated
cost of approximately $26.0 million, consist primarily of the approximately 12%
limited partner interest in the limited partnership that owns the Dallas
Mavericks, an approximately 1% interest in a private venture capital fund and a
100% interest in a construction equipment sale, leasing and services company.
    
 
   
     The Company has allocated approximately $196.2 million (approximately 
$65.40 per square foot) of the purchase price to the Carter-Crowley Office
Portfolio. The Carter-Crowley Office Portfolio contains an aggregate of
approximately 3.0 million net rentable square feet in seven suburban Dallas
submarkets. The buildings, which were constructed principally between 1980 and
1986, range in size from approximately 40,000 to approximately 634,000 net
rentable square feet and, as of December 31, 1996, were 91% leased. The
acquisition of the Carter-Crowley Office Portfolio increased the Company's
ownership of office space in the Dallas market to more than 8.7 million net
rentable square feet and to 13% of the Class A office space in the Dallas
market. The weighted average full-service rental rates for the Carter-Crowley
Office Portfolio were $12.18 per leased square foot, compared to a weighted
average quoted market rental rate for the submarkets in which the
Carter-Crowley Office Portfolio is located of $18.63 per square foot. The
Carter-Crowley Office Portfolio has a weighted average remaining lease term of
3.75 years. Major tenants include CompUSA, Inc., Aetna Life Insurance Company,
United States Data Corporation and Northern Telecom, Inc.

(1) Calculated based on base rent payable as of December 31, 1996, without
    giving effect to free rent or scheduled rent increases that would be taken
    into account under generally accepted accounting principles, and including
    expenses payable by tenants.
(2) Source -- Jamison Research, Inc.
(3) Represents full-service rental rates. These rates do not necessarily
    represent the amounts at which available space in the Carter-Crowley Office
    Portfolio will be leased. The weighted average subtotals and total are based
    on total net rentable square feet in each submarket of the Class A and/or
    Class B office properties, as applicable, in the Carter-Crowley Office
    Portfolio.
(4) Includes two buildings with an aggregate of approximately 530,000 net 
    rentable square feet which, subsequent to December 31, 1996, have been
    reclassified as "owner occupied" and will not be included in Class A office
    space in 1997.  Excluding these two buildings, management estimates that the
    percent leased in this submarket would have been approximately 75% as of
    December 31, 1996.

     The Carter-Crowley Office Portfolio is leased to more than 450 tenants, the
major tenants having principal businesses in the industry sectors of technology,
financial services and media services. None of the tenants in the 14 office
properties comprising the Carter-Crowley Office Portfolio lease over 10% of the
aggregate net rentable area.

    The aggregate tax basis for the Carter-Crowley Office Portfolio of 
depreciable real property and personal property is not available at this time 
since the acquisition has not closed.

    The 1996 realty tax rate for the Carter-Crowley Office Portfolio was $2.52 
per $100 of the $148.5 million assessed value.  The total amount of tax at this
rate for 1996 was approximately $3.7 million.

    For the year ended December 31, 1996, utility expense for the 
Carter-Crowley Office Portfolio was approximately $5.0 million and expenses for
repairs, maintenance and contract services were approximately $4.4 million.

    The Company has no immediate plans to redevelop any of the properties 
within the Carter-Crowley Office Portfolio and believes such properties are 
adequately  covered by insurance.  The seller of the Carter-Crowley Office
Portfolio has acquired the 14 office properties at different times over the
last seven years; therefore, the year-end occupancy and average base rent per
leased square foot for the Carter-Crowley Office Portfolio is only available
for 1996.  See table above.       

    The following table sets forth for the Carter-Crowley Office Portfolio a 
schedule of lease expirations for leases in place as of December 31, 1996 for
each of the 10 years beginning with January 1, 1997, assuming that none of the
tenants exercises renewal options and excluding 290,590 square feet of unleased
space.

MAGELLAN TRANSACTION 

     On January 29, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement with Magellan 
Health Services, Inc. ("Magellan") to acquire substantially all of the real 
estate assets of Magellan's domestic hospital provider business as currently
owned and operated by a wholly owned subsidiary of Magellan.  The Magellan
transaction involves various components, certain of which will relate to the
Company and certain of which will relate to Crescent Affiliate. None of the
Magellan transactions will be consummated unless all of the transactions are
consummated. Closing of the transactions is subject to various closing
conditions and to approval of the transactions by the stockholders of Magellan,
and is expected to occur in the second quarter of 1997. 

   
     The total purchase price for the assets to be acquired in the Magellan 
transaction is $400 million. Of this amount, it is anticipated that $390
million will be paid by the Company for the acquisition of approximately 90
behavioral healthcare facilities (the "Magellan Facilities") and certain
warrants to purchase shares of common stock of Magellan, and $10 million will be
paid by Crescent Affiliate for its interest in a limited liability company
("CBHS") and certain warrants to purchase shares of common stock of Magellan.
CBHS will be owned 50% by Crescent Affiliate and 50% by Magellan, subject to
potential dilution of each by up to 5% in connection with future incentive 
compensation of management of CBHS.
    
 
     The principal component of the transaction is the Company's acquisition of
the Magellan Facilities, which are to be leased to CBHS, and the subsidiaries of
CBHS, under a triple-net lease. The lease will require the payment of annual
minimum rent in the amount of $40 million, increasing in each subsequent year
during the 12-year term at a 5% compounded annual rate. The lease provides for
four, five-year renewal options. All maintenance and capital improvement costs
will be the responsibility of CBHS during the term of the lease. In addition,
CBHS will pay annually an additional $20 million under the lease, at least $10
million of which must be used, as directed by CBHS, for capital expenditures
each year and up to $10 million of which may be used, if requested by CBHS, to
cover capital expenditures, property taxes, insurance premiums and franchise
fees. CBHS's failure to pay the additional $20 million is not a default under
the lease unless the Company has expended funds for capital expenditures,
property taxes, insurance premiums or franchise fees. In connection with the
Magellan transaction, the Company also will receive warrants to purchase
1,283,311 shares of common stock of Magellan, at an exercise price of $30.00
per share, with such warrants exercisable, in increments, during the period
from May 1998 through May 2009.
 
   
     In connection with the closing of the Magellan transaction, Crescent 
Affiliate will acquire its interest in CBHS and certain warrants to purchase
shares of common stock of Magellan in exchange for an initial payment
of $10 million, with an additional $2.5 million payable to CBHS within five
days following the closing. Magellan will acquire its interest in CBHS in
exchange for the contribution of certain assets, with an additional $2.5
million payable to CBHS in cash within five days following the closing. In
addition, each of Crescent Affiliate and Magellan will agree to lend to CBHS,
upon request by Magellan during the five years following the closing, up to an
aggregate of $17.5 million. Any such loans will bear interest at the rate of
10% per annum and have a term of five years. CBHS, as lessee of the Magellan
Facilities, will be responsible for operating the Magellan Facilities. CBHS
will derive assistance in its role as operator of the Magellan Facilities
through a franchise arrangement with an initial term of 12 years to be entered
into between CBHS (and its subsidiaries), as franchisees, and Magellan, as
franchisor. Pursuant to a franchise arrangement with an initial term of 12
years (and four, five-year renewal options), Magellan will provide to CBHS and
its subsidiaries certain services necessary or desirable for the operation of
the business to be conducted at the Magellan Facilities (including the
provision of policies, procedures and protocols for operation of the Magellan
Facilities and of a toll-free patient referral number) in exchange for an
annual franchise fee of $81 million plus the greater of annual cost-of-living
adjustments or a percentage of CBHS's gross revenues, as defined in the
franchise agreement. The payment by CBHS to Magellan of the annual franchise
fee will be subordinated to the payment by CBHS to the Company of annual
minimum rent. In addition, Magellan will not have the right to terminate the
franchise agreement due to the nonpayment of the franchise fee as a result of
the subordination of the franchise fee to the annual minimum rent. In
connection with the Magellan transaction, Crescent Affiliate will also acquire
warrants to purchase 1,283,311 shares of common stock of Magellan. These
warrants will have the same terms as the warrants purchased by the Company from
Magellan. In addition, Crescent Affiliate will issue to Magellan warrants to
purchase up to 2.5% of its common stock outstanding on the closing date, with
such warrants exercisable only in the same proportion as the Company and
Crescent Affiliate, in the aggregate, exercise their warrants to purchase
common stock of Magellan.

STRUCTURE OF CRESCENT AFFILIATE AND CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS

   
   Intercompany Agreement. It is anticipated that, under an intercompany 
agreement to be entered into in connection with the spin-off, the Company and
Crescent Affiliate will agree to provide each other with rights to participate
in certain transactions. For example, Crescent Affiliate will agree not to
acquire or make investments in real estate (which, for purposes of the
intercompany agreement, will include the provision of services related to real
estate or investment in hotel properties) unless it has notified the Company of
the acquisition or investment opportunity, and the Company has determined not to
pursue such acquisitions or investments. Crescent Affiliate also will agree to
assist the Company in structuring and consummating any such acquisition or
investment in real estate which the Company elects to pursue, on terms  to be
determined by the Company. Similarly, the Company will provide Crescent
Affiliate with a right of first offer to become lessee of any real property that
may be acquired by the Company as to which the Company in its sole discretion
determines that, consistent with its status as a REIT, it must enter into a
"master" lease arrangement. In addition, Crescent Affiliate will notify the
Company of investment opportunities developed by Crescent Affiliate or of which
Crescent Affiliate is aware but is unable or unwilling to pursue. It is also
anticipated that Crescent Affiliate will enter into negotiations with the
lessees of certain of the Hotel Properties to acquire the rights of such
lessees. No such negotiations are currently ongoing, however, and there is no
assurance that any such agreements will be reached. 
    

   
   Management and Management Relationships. It is expected that Messrs. 
Richard E. Rainwater, John C. Goff and Gerald W. Haddock will hold the same
offices with Crescent Affiliate that they currently hold with the Company. In
addition, it is expected that the board of directors of Crescent Affiliate will
consist of seven members, five of whom (including Messrs. Rainwater, Goff and
Haddock) are currently trust managers of the Company and two of whom are
persons who will not be affiliated with the Company. Although each of Messrs.
Rainwater, Goff and Haddock is committed to the success of Crescent Affiliate,
they are also committed to the success of Crescent Equities. None of Mr.
Rainwater, Mr. Goff or Mr. Haddock is committed to spending a particular amount
of time on Crescent Affiliate's affairs, nor will any of them devote his full
time to Crescent Affiliate.
    

   Officers and directors of a corporation owe fiduciary duties to the 
stockholders of that corporation. There is a risk that the common membership of
management and members of the Boards of Crescent Affiliate and Crescent
Equities will lead to conflicts of interests in connection with transactions
between the two companies. Crescent Affiliate was formed with specific purpose
clauses in an effort to avoid conflicts of interest issues by identifying at
the outset which types of opportunities will be pursued by each company. These
clauses provide that Crescent Affiliate's purposes include performing the
intercompany agreement and refraining from pursuing REIT-suitable
opportunities, until Crescent Equities has been offered, and has declined, the
opportunities.
 
   
   Certain Relationships with Magellan. Messrs. Rainwater, Goff and Haddock and
Mr. Rainwater's children own shares of common stock of Magellan and warrants to
acquire shares of common stock of Magellan. Mr. Rainwater, either directly or
indirectly, owns approximately 2,475,000 shares, and warrants to acquire
1,237,500 shares, of common stock of Magellan. Mr. Rainwater's children, either
directly or indirectly, own approximately 320,000 shares, and warrants to
acquire 160,000 shares, of common stock of Magellan.  Messrs. Goff and Haddock
each own, directly or indirectly, approximately 57,000 shares, and warrants to
acquire 28,500 shares, of common stock of Magellan. The Magellan transaction is
subject to the approval of Magellan's stockholders.
    

   
   The warrants entitle the warrant holders to purchase, at any time until
the January 25, 2000 expiration date, shares of common stock of Magellan at a
purchase price of $26.15 per share. Agreements executed in connection with the
acquisition of the warrants (the "Private Placement") provide, among other
things, for the adjustment of the number of shares of common stock of Magellan
that can be purchased under the warrants and the purchase price, respectively,
for certain dilutive events, for registration rights for shares, including the
shares of common stock of Magellan underlying the warrants, which registration
rights have been exercised, and for a variety of other customary provisions,
including, without limitation, certain restrictions on the private sale of such
shares, certain preemptive rights to acquire additional securities issued by
Magellan for cash in a private placement transaction (which have been waived to
the extent they may apply to the Magellan transaction), and standstill
covenants restricting the purchase of additional shares of common stock of
Magellan by Mr. Rainwater and his affiliates in certain circumstances.
    
   Darla D. Moore is married to Mr. Rainwater and is a director of
Magellan. As part of the arrangements pursuant to which Mr. Rainwater acquired
securities of Magellan, an affiliate of Mr. Rainwater has the right to 
designate a nominee acceptable to Magellan for election as a director of
Magellan for so long as Mr. Rainwater and his affiliates (collectively, the
"Rainwater Group") continue to own beneficially a specified minimum number of
shares of common stock of Magellan. Mr. Rainwater's affiliate proposed Ms. Moore
as its nominee for director, and Ms. Moore was elected a director by the
Magellan Board on February 22, 1996.
   
   As part of the Private Placement, Magellan agreed (i) to pay a               
transaction fee of $150,000; (ii) to reimburse certain expenses of Rainwater,   
Inc. in connection with the Private Placement; (iii) to pay the Rainwater       
Group an annual monitoring fee of $75,000 commencing on March 31, 1996; and     
(iv) to reimburse the Rainwater Group for reasonable fees and expenses (up to a 
maximum of $25,000 annually) incurred in connection with its ownership of 
common stock of Magellan and the warrants. Magellan also agreed to reimburse    
the Rainwater Group in the future for one additional filing under the           
Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 if such a filing is
required in connection with an exercise of the warrants.
    
                                                                             
   From January 25, 1996 through December 31, 1996, Magellan paid to the        
Rainwater Group under the Private Placement an aggregate of $306,344,           
consisting of a transaction fee of $150,000, expense reimbursement in           
connection with the Private Placement of $86,156, and monitoring fees and       
expenses of $70,188. These amounts exclude directors' fees and expense          
reimbursement paid to Ms. Moore in her capacity as a director of Magellan.      
                                                                                
   
EFFECT OF CONSUMMATION OF TRANSACTIONS                                 
    
                                                                                
   
   General.  Upon completion of the proposed spin-off, the proposed Magellan
transaction, and the acquisition of the Carter-Crowley Portfolio, the Company
and Crescent Affiliate will exist as separate public companies that, on an
aggregate basis, will own the assets acquired as a result of the consummation of
the proposed Magellan transaction and the acquisition of the Carter-Crowley
Portfolio, as described herein.                                             
    
                                                                                
   
   The Company.  The Company will have purchased approximately $696.3 million of
assets, consisting primarily of the 90 Magellan Facilities and the warrants to
purchase 1,283,311 shares of the common stock of Magellan and the 14 office
properties included in the Carter-Crowley Office Portfolio and acquired by the
Company on May 9, 1997. These assets also include approximately 1,216 acres of
commercially zoned, undeveloped land located in the Dallas/Fort Worth
metropolitan area, two multifamily residential properties located in the
Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area and secured and unsecured promissory notes
relating primarily to the Dallas Mavericks, all of which the Company purchased
on May 9, 1997.  The Company has funded or intends to fund these acquisitions
(as well as its obligations to Crescent Affiliate, as described below) through
proceeds of two public offerings of its Common Shares (as described below) and
additional borrowings under new or existing financing arrangements. In April and
May, 1997, the Company completed two public offerings of 24,150,000 and 500,000
Common Shares, respectively, through prospectus supplements to its existing
shelf registration statement. Net proceeds to the Company from the offerings
were approximately $593.5 million. The Company used the net proceeds to fund
approximately $306.3 million of the purchase price of the portion of the
Carter-Crowley Portfolio acquired by the Company and to fund approximately $26.0
million in connection with the formation and capitalization of Crescent
Affiliate. The $26.0 million was used by Crescent Affiliate to purchase the
portion of the Carter-Crowley Portfolio acquired by Crescent Affiliate. The
Company plans to use the remaining net proceeds of approximately $361.2 million
to fund a portion of the commitments of the Company and Crescent Affiliate
primarily related to the proposed Magellan transaction. 
    
                                                                                
   
     Crescent Affiliate.  Crescent Affiliate will be a public company, the      
securities of which initially will be owned by the shareholders of the Company
and the limited partners of the Operating Partnership on the record date for the
spin-off. The assets of Crescent Affiliate will be acquired by Crescent
Affiliate utilizing cash contributions of approximately $12.6 million and loans
of approximately $29.9 million provided to Crescent Affiliate by the Company in
the aggregate amount of approximately $42.5 million. Crescent Affiliate used
approximately $26.0 million of these funds to acquire an approximately 12%
limited partner interest in the limited partnership that owns the Dallas
Mavericks, an approximately 1% interest in a private venture capital fund and
100% of a construction equipment sale, leasing and services company and intends
to use approximately $12.5 million of these funds primarily to acquire a 50%
interest in CBHS and warrants to purchase 1,283,311 shares of common stock of
Magellan. The remaining approximately $4.0 million of these funds have been used
to fund certain obligations to purchase construction equipment of the
construction equipment sales, leasing and servicing company acquired from
Carter-Crowley. In addition, Crescent Affiliate will have available to it
approximately $20.0 million under a line of credit from the Company to fulfill
certain ongoing obligations associated with these assets.     

   
    The pro forma financial information reflects the acquisition of the 
Carter-Crowley Office Portfolio, the two multifamily residential properties,
the approximately 1,216 acres of undeveloped land and promissory notes relating
to Dallas Mavericks, the pending Magallen transaction, and the proposed
spin-off.

We have audited the accompanying statement of excess of revenues over specific

We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the statement referred to above presents fairly, in all
material respects, the excess of revenues over specific operating expenses of

                          NOTES TO STATEMENT OF EXCESS
                  OF REVENUES OVER SPECIFIC OPERATING EXPENSES

                               DECEMBER 31, 1996



1.  ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Description of Portfolio

Carter-Crowley Operating Real Estate Portfolio (the "Portfolio") consists of 
14 office buildings (the "Buildings") and two apartment/condominium complexes
(the "Apartments") located in Dallas, Texas, and surrounding suburbs.  The
Properties contain approximately 3 million rentable square feet.  The Portfolio,
including the land on which the Buildings and Apartments are located (with the
exception of one office building subject to a ground lease expiring May, 2079),
are owned fee simple.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Rental Income and Deferred Rent Concessions

In connection with obtaining certain tenants under long-term leases, property
management grants rent concessions.  The aggregate rental payments due over the
terms of the leases are recognized as rental income on a straight-line basis
over the full term of the leases, including the periods of rent concessions.

Recoveries

A portion of the operating expenses is charged back to tenants on a monthly
basis based upon estimated expenses.  These charges are adjusted at period-end,
based upon actual expenses.

2.  BASIS OF ACCOUNTING:

The accompanying statement of excess of revenues over specific operating
expenses is presented on the accrual basis of accounting.  This statement is
not intended to be a complete presentation of revenues and operating expenses
for the year ended December 31, 1996, as certain items such as depreciation,
amortization, interest, and partnership administrative expenses have been
excluded since they are not comparable to the proposed future operations of the
Properties.  This statement has been prepared in accordance with requirements
for financial information required by Form 8-K and Rule 3.14 of Regulation S-X
of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Accordingly, the statement does not
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements.

3.  PROPERTY MANAGEMENT:

The Buildings are managed internally and are allocated a management fee of 4%
of gross rental receipts.  Total management fees allocated to the Buildings for
the year ended December 31, 1996, were approximately $1.3 million and are
eliminated against the corresponding fees recorded by the Portfolio in the
accompanying statement of excess of revenues over specific operating expenses.
Approximately $1.1 million of home office salary expenses related to Building
management are included in salaries in the accompanying statement of excess of
revenues over specific operating expenses.

The Portfolio entered into a management agreement with Columbus Management
Services, Inc. (the "Manager") on January 1, 1996, relating to the management
of the Apartments.  The agreement with the Manager requires a monthly
management fee of $200 and 5% of gross revenues, as defined.  Total management
fees for the year ended December 31, 1996, were approximately $44,000.  The
agreement may be terminated at any time by either party in accordance with the
management agreement.  If terminated, the management fees must be paid through
the month in which the Manager's service will extend.

4.  INTENT TO SELL:

On February 10, 1997, the fee owner of the Properties entered into a contract
to sell its interest in the Portfolio to an unaffiliated third party.
