Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Disclosure Regarding Forward Looking Statements

     The Partnership may from time to time make written or oral “forward-looking statements”, including statements contained in the Partnership’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (including this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB and the exhibits hereto and thereto), in its reports to Partners and in other communications by the Partnership, which are made in good faith by the Partnership pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

     These forward-looking statements include statements with respect to the Partnership’s beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations, estimates and intentions, that are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, and are subject to change based on various factors (some of which are beyond the Partnership’s control). The words “may”, “could”, “should”, “would”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “plan”, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause the Partnership’s financial performance to differ materially from the plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements:

• The strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economy in which the Partnership conducts its operations;

• The timely development of and acceptance of new services of the Partnership and the perceived overall value of these products and services by users, including the features, pricing and quality compared to competitors’ products and services;

• The willingness of users to substitute competitors’ services for the Partnership’s services;

• The impact of changes in laws and regulations (including laws concerning taxes and securities);

• Technology changes;

• Changes in consumer spending and saving habits;

• Our ability to pay down our debt;

• Our ability to hire and retain qualified personnel; and

• The success of the Partnership at managing the risks involved in the foregoing.

     The foregoing list of important factors is not exclusive. Additional discussion of factors affecting the Partnership’s business is contained in the Partnership’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Partnership does not undertake and expressly disclaims any intent or obligation, to update any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Partnership.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2004 and 2003

     For the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the same period of the prior year, occupancy rates at the Registrant’s hotel were 32% versus 40% and average room rates were $96.89 versus $95.98, resulting in a decrease in room revenue totaling $92,340 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the comparable period in 2003. Food and beverage revenues decreased $29,518 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the first quarter of 2003.

     The decrease in occupancy percentages for 2004 and 2003 are due to the continued economic recession and resulting intensified competition among hotels in the San Francisco/Monterey Bay area. This area of the country has been more severely impacted by the effects of September 11, 2001 and reduced foreign travel than other parts of the United States. Additionally, the effects of the dot.com slowdown, for which the region is noted, have reduced business travel to the region and have resulted in job cutbacks in the area resulting in reduced business travel.

     Food and beverage revenues are primarily influenced by the number of hotel guests. The decreased food and beverage revenue is a direct result of the decreased hotel occupancy for the three months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the first quarter of 2003.

     Operating expenses totaled $914,965 and $987,452 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The principal reasons for the decrease in operating expenses in 2004 as compared to 2003 were reductions in rooms and food and beverage operating expenses due to decreased occupancy and food and beverage covers served in the restaurant and lounge which expenses are directly affected by occupancy and covers served.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure,” SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity.” The Partnership’s adoption of these SFAS’s in 2003 did not have any impact on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

     In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (“FIN 46”), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” FIN 46 clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statement,” to certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 applies, as amended, to special purpose interest entities created after December 31, 2003, and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. It

7

applies in the first year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of the provisions of FIN 46 had no impact on the Partnership’s financial conditions, results of operations or cash flows.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Registrant’s primary source of cash is revenues from the operation and leasing of the hotel facility. The Registrant’s primary uses of cash are to fund hotel operating expenses, payments on the first mortgage, renovations and to pay distributions to Partners.

     During the three months ended March 31, 2004, the Registrant provided $44,572 in net cash flow for operating activities. Reductions in long-term debt totaled $35,583 and impound escrow accounts decreased $47,996 during the first quarter of 2004.

     Acquisition of property and equipment during the three months ended March 31, 2004 totaled $11,085. It is estimated that approximately $150,000 more will be expended in the remainder of calendar 2004 for ongoing renovations of existing assets.

     There were no distributions accrued in the fourth quarter of 2003. No distributions were declared for the first quarter of 2004.

     During the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 and the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Partnership incurred net losses of $282,220 and $235,052 and $305,885 and $283,676, respectively. As of March 31, 2004, December 31, 2003 and 2002, partners’ deficit totaled $2,711,711, $2,429,491 and $2,123,606, respectively.

     The operations of the Partnership for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 continued to be adversely affected for the following reasons:

• The reduction in leisure, foreign and domestic travel due to the events of September 11, 2001, particularly in the San Francisco/Monterey Bay area.

• The national and regional negative impact on the computer and dot.com industry, which industries represent a substantial portion of the San Francisco/Monterey Bay area.

• The negative impact on the world, national and regional economies due to the uncertain events of the war with Iraq.

• The negative impact on senior citizen travel due to the significant downturn in the international and United States stock markets, resulting in substantially reduced stock portfolios.

     While all of the above factors have negatively impacted the Casa Munras, management is of the opinion that the Partnership’s cash requirements for 2004 will be met by cash flow generated from operations. Additionally, while the General Partner has no obligation to fund any cash flow deficiencies of the Partnership as described in Note 1

8

of the Notes to Financial Statements to the Registrant’s Form 10-KSB for the calendar year ended December 31, 2003, the General Partner, via cash advances or via advances from Westland, has agreed to provide continuing support to the Partnership for the twelve month period ending December 31, 2004 should cash flow from operations not be sufficient to meet the Partnership’s obligations.

     The General Partner intends, to the extent cash from operations is available and such distributions are permitted under the first mortgage payable, to continue making cash distributions to the Partners at amounts approximating the Registrant’s net income.

Item 3. Controls and Procedures

     The Partnership maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Partnership’s reports filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are recorded, processed, and summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms promulgated under such Act, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Partnership’s management, including the Managing Member of the General Partner who performs the functions of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

     During the 90-day period prior to the filing date of this report, the Managing Member of the General Partner who performs the functions of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon, and as of the date of that evaluation, the Managing Member of the General Partner who performs the functions of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective, in all material respects, to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Registrant files and submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required.

     There have been no significant changes in the Registrant’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date the Registrant carried out its evaluation. There were no significant deficiencies or material weakness identified in the evaluation and therefore, no corrective actions were taken.
