                         CRI HOTEL INCOME PARTNERS, L.P.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                             March 31, 2009 and 2008

                                   (Unaudited)


1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     In the opinion of CRICO Hotel Associates I, L.P. (the General Partner), the
accompanying unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments,  consisting
of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
position of CRI Hotel Income Partners,  L. P. (the  Partnership) as of March 31,
2009,  and the results of its  operations and its cash flows for the three month
periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. The results of operations for the interim
period ended March 31, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full year.

     The  accompanying  unaudited  financial  statements  have been  prepared in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America (US GAAP) and with the instructions to Form10-Q. Certain information and
accounting  policies and  footnote  disclosures  normally  included in financial
statements  prepared in conformity  with US GAAP have been  condensed or omitted
pursuant to such instructions.  These condensed  financial  statements should be
read in conjunction with the financial  statements and notes thereto included in
the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-K at December 31, 2008.

     The Partnership and the chief operating decision maker consider the hotels'
operations as a single homogeneous  business activity as it relates to achieving
their  objectives  of cash  flow  growth  and  capital  appreciation.  The chief
operating  decision  maker  reviews  cash  flow  and  operating  results  in the
aggregate in order to determine the appropriate level of cash available, if any,
for  distribution  to  the  investors  in  the  Partnership.   Accordingly,  the
Partnership  considers  itself to  operate  in a single  reportable  segment  in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131.


2.   LONG-LIVED ASSETS

     The Partnership reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or
changes in  circumstances  indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
be fully recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying
amount of an asset to the estimated future  undiscounted net cash flows expected
to be generated by the asset.  If an asset were  determined to be impaired,  its
basis would be adjusted to fair value through the  recognition  of an impairment
loss.


3.   WORKING CAPITAL RESERVE

     The working  capital  reserve of $1,951,840  and $2,333,266 as of March 31,
2009  and  December  31,  2008,  respectively,  represents  all  cash  and  cash
equivalents  maintained as working  capital for the  Partnership.  In accordance
with the terms of the Partnership Agreement,  the working capital reserve may be
increased or reduced by the General Partner as it deems appropriate.

                                   (Unaudited)


4.   CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS AND REAL ESTATE TAX RESERVES HELD BY SERVICER

     In addition  to the monthly  loan  installments  under its former  mortgage
loan, as discussed  below, the Partnership also made monthly payments which were
escrowed for capital  improvements and estimated annual real estate taxes.  This
loan was refinanced on May 6, 2008. The Partnership was reimbursed by the former
servicer  in June  2008  for the  remaining  balances  in the  escrowed  capital
improvement  and  real  estate  tax  accounts.  Under  the  new  mortgages,  the
Partnership will pay directly for real estate taxes and capital improvements.

     During the three month period ended March 31, 2008,  the  Partnership  made
escrow deposits  aggregating $58,094 for capital  improvements,  and $97,966 for
estimated  annual real estate  taxes.  As of March 31,  2008 the  servicer  held
reserves  of $256,474  for capital  improvements  and  $215,815  for real estate
taxes.


5.   MORTGAGES PAYABLE

     On December 19, 1997, the Partnership refinanced with Citicorp Real Estate,
Inc. (Citicorp) the Zero Coupon Notes which were originally issued in connection
with the  Partnership's  acquisition of the hotels.  The loan matured January 1,
2008. On that date, a balloon  payment in the amount of  $7,273,441  became due.
The General  Partner was unable to refinance  the  Partnership's  mortgage  debt
prior to its maturity.  Although the loan was in default,  the special  servicer
agreed to a forbearance  agreement for a period of 180 days for payment of a fee
in the amount of $72,734, plus continued monthly payments of principal, interest
(at the pre-default rate) and tax and capital improvements escrows.

     On May 6, 2008, the  Partnership  closed three loans from General  Electric
Credit Corporation ("GE") in the aggregate amount of $5,000,000 to refinance the
Plymouth and Roseville  hotels in Minnesota and the Clearwater hotel in Florida.
The three loans are  cross-collateralized  by the three hotels.  The Partnership
used the loan proceeds  together with the proceeds,  of a loan from  Remediation
Capital Funding,  LLC in the amount of $2,900,000,  of which $500,000 is held by
the Lender pending  resolution of the  environmental  matter  further  discussed
below,  secured by the  University  hotel in Minnesota,  to pay off the existing
debt in full.

     The Phase I  environmental  study of the  University  hotel  required by GE
revealed excess levels of three chemicals deemed hazardous in the groundwater on
the property.  The  contamination  is not due to acts or omissions of the hotel.
Simultaneously  with  its  refinancing   efforts,   the  Partnership  engaged  a
consultant to enroll the University  property in the Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency's ("MCPA")  Voluntary  Investigation and Cleanup ("VIC") Program and deal
with the  contamination  at the site. The  Partnership's  goal is to obtain a No
Action  Letter  with a Covenant  Not to Sue, at which point it should be able to
obtain financing on the property again.  NOVA, the Partnership's  consultant has
prepared  and  submitted  an  additional  Phase I study in  accordance  with the
guidelines  established by the MPCA-VIC  Program along with the  application and
proposed  scope of work for the required  Phase II study.  On July 16, 2008, the
MPCA  approved  the work plan for the Phase II study  with  samples  of soil and
ground water  scheduled to begin  collection  for analysis  August 11, 2008.  On
January 28, 2009, NOVA completed the Phase II study. Based on the results of the
solvent,  petroleum, and RCRA metal impacts above action or guidance levels that

were detected in the soil, soil vapor and groundwater  samples  collected at the
site, with the exception of the petroleum impacts, the compounds detected at the
site  appear to be  associated  with  regional  up  gradient  off-site  areas of
contamination located to the northeast and possibly to the north of the site. It
does not  appear  that the  historical  uses of the site are the  source  of the
solvent,  soil vapor and  groundwater  impacts  detected  at the site.  NOVA has
submitted   these   results  and  requests  that  the  MPCA  issue  an  Off-Site
Determination  letter and No Further Action letter for the site. The Partnership
has been advised that the VIC Program  process will likely take from nine months
to eighteen months.

     The three  new GE loans  bear  interest  at the rate of 6.79% per annum and
mature on January 1, 2016 with balloon payments due as set forth below:

                  Plymouth           $887,269
                  Roseville          $2,083,122
                  Clearwater         $887,269

     The new loan with Remediation Capital bears interest at the rate of 14% per
annum and  matures on May 6,  2009.  On May 5, 2009,  the loan was  extended  to
mature November 5, 2009. The Partnership has one option, at its sole discretion,
to extend the loan for six  months.  It is  contemplated  that this loan will be
refinanced  after the  environmental  issues at the  University  hotel have been
resolved.

     The Partnership  made  installments  of principal and interest  aggregating
$216,766 and $201,147 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.
The Partnership's  balance on the loan was $7,310,628 and $7,341,231 as of March
31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

     Considerable  judgment is necessary to estimate the fair value of financial
instruments.  Due to  current  limitations  on credit  availability  and  market
conditions,  the estimates of fair value  presented  herein are not  necessarily
indicative  of the  amounts  that  could be  realized  upon  disposition  of the
financial instruments. We estimate the fair value of our mortgages payable using
discounted  cash  flow  analysis,  unobservable  inputs,  and  other  internally
developed  estimates  that  incorporate  market-based  assumptions to range from
$3,000,000 to $3,750,000 for the Plymouth hotel,  Roseville hotel and Clearwater
hotel;  and  approximately  $2,400,000  for the  University  hotel loan based on
unobservable inputs.


6.   DISTRIBUTIONS TO BAC HOLDERS

     The Partnership did not declare a distribution in 2008 or the first quarter
of 2009.

7.   COMMITMENTS

     a.   Hotel Management Agreements
          ---------------------------

          The hotels had been operated by Bryanston  Group,  Inc. d/b/a Buckhead
     Hotel  Management  Company,  Inc.  (Buckhead),  formerly known as Days Inns
     Management Company, Inc., under the nationally recognized franchise name of
     Days Inns. The Partnership  entered into new management  contracts with Oak
     Hotels,  Inc.,  which will  continue to be  operated as Days Inns.  The new
     contracts will expire  December 31, 2016, with the exception of Scottsdale,
     which is  coterminous  with the land lease on which that hotel is  located.
     The agreements  provide for a base management fee of 3.5% of gross revenues
     from operations for the University hotel,  Plymouth hotel,  Rosewater hotel
     and Clearwater hotel and 4.5% for the Scottsdale hotel.

     b.   Lease Agreements
          ----------------

          The Partnership  assumed an existing lease agreement from Days Inns of
     America,  Inc. in connection with the acquisition of the leasehold interest
     in the Scottsdale Days Inn. The assumption  transfers the rights to operate
     the property on the lease's  existing  terms over the remaining life of the
     lease.  In October  2002,  the lease was extended to expire on December 31,
     2008.  The  Partnership  negotiated  and  executed a short  term  extension
     through December 31, 2009 until the ground lessor decides to re-develop the
     property.  As of February 1, 2009,  annual lease  payments are equal to the
     greater  of  $480,000  or 22% of total  room  revenue  and 2.5% of food and
     beverage  revenue.  Minimum lease  payments of $40,000 are payable  monthly
     with a  quarterly  analysis of the actual  amount due.  For the three month
     periods  ended March 31, 2009 and 2008,  lease  payments  were $198,971 and
     $282,398, respectively.

     c.   License Agreements
          ------------------

          The five License Agreements  pursuant to which the hotels are operated
     as Days Inns have recently  been  assigned  from the current  licensee (and
     former management agent), Buckhead to the Partnership as Licensee.

     d.   Legal Proceedings
          -----------------

          On September 2, 2008, a complaint  was filed  against CRI Hotel Income
     Partners,  L.P., in the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial Circuit, in and
     for Pinellas County,  Florida.  The Plaintiffs  claimed damages of $15,000,
     exclusive  of  interest  and cost as a result  of being  bitten by bed bugs
     while  staying at the Days Inn  Clearwater  on or about July 16, 2008.  The
     complaint   was   submitted   to   Wausau    Insurance    Company,    Claim
     #PX415-008254-01.  On January 21,  2009,  the defense  counsel  retained by
     Wausau  requested  that the plaintiff  make a demand for settlement of this
     lawsuit so as to avoid protracted litigation. A response is expected during
     the second  quarter of 2009 to the request.  Any damages will be covered by
     Wausau under the hotel's insurance policy.

8.   GROUND LEASE AGREEMENTS

     The Partnership  had leased a portion of the Minneapolis  Days Inn property
to Vicorp Restaurants, Inc. (Vicorp), which operated a Baker's Square restaurant
on the  property.  Gross  rental  income  pursuant to the lease  agreement  with
Vicorp,  which is  included  in interest  and other  income in the  accompanying
statement of operations,  was $12,712 for 2008. As of March 2008,  Vicorp failed
to pay the monthly rent due. On April 3, 2008,  Vicorp declared  bankruptcy.  It
rejected  the lease as an  executory  contract  as of that date.  It has filed a
proof of claim for its permitted damages in Vicorp's bankruptcy case.

     On March 10, 2009, the Partnership executed a Letter of Intent with the Tea
House Restaurant to replace the old tenant at Baker's Square. Lease negotiations
are currently  ongoing and a new lease should be executed in the second  quarter
2009.

     The  Partnership  leases an  adjacent  building on the  Roseville  Days Inn
property to India Palace, Inc., which operates a restaurant on the property. The
lease expires on September 30, 2010. The lease provides one option to extend the
lease for an additional period of five years.  Gross base rental income pursuant
to the lease  agreement  with India Palace and the former lease with Happy Chef,
which is included in interest and other income in the accompanying statements of
operations,  was $7,500 for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2009
and 2008, respectively.


9.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     In accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement,  the Partnership

10.  DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

     Depreciation is based on the estimated  useful lives of depreciable  assets
using the straight-line method.  Salvage value has been incorporated relating to
the  Scottsdale  hotel.  The estimated  lives used in  determining  depreciation
follow.

           Type of asset                           Estimated life
           -------------                           --------------

           Building and site improvements          10-30 years
           Furniture, fixtures and equipment       7 years
           Leasehold improvements                  Shorter of estimated life
                                                     (usually 7 years) or
                                                      remaining lease term

     Property  purchase cost and  acquisition  fees are being  amortized  over a
thirty-year  period using the  straight-line  method,  except for the Scottsdale
hotel which is being amortized over the remaining  lease term. Loan  refinancing
costs are being  amortized  over the life of the loans  using the  straight-line
method, which approximates the effective interest method.


11.  CASH CONCENTRATION RISK

     Financial   instruments  that   potentially   subject  the  Partnership  to
concentrations  of risk consist  primarily of cash.  The  Partnership  maintains
sixteen cash accounts.  As of March 31, 2009, the uninsured  portion of the cash
balance was $1,973,840.

Part I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis
          of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


     CRI Hotel Income Partners, L.P.'s (the Partnership) Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial  Condition and Results of Operations  section is based
on the financial  statements,  and contains  information  that may be considered
forward  looking,  including  statements  regarding  the effect of  governmental
regulations.  Actual results may differ  materially  from those described in the
forward  looking  statements  and  will be  affected  by a  variety  of  factors
including  seasonality  with respect to the hotel  industry,  national and local
economic  conditions,   the  general  level  of  interest  rates,   governmental
regulations  affecting the Partnership and interpretations of those regulations,
the  competitive   environment  in  which  the  Partnership  operates,  and  the
availability of working capital.

                             Travel and the Economy
                             ----------------------

     The hotel  industry is continuing to feel the effects of a sagging  economy
with decreased demand and lower occupancies,  which had a negative impact at all
of the five hotels owned by the Partnership.  The  Partnership's  ability to pay
operating  expenses and current  liabilities,  and to pay  distributions  to BAC
holders,  is primarily  dependent upon the performance of the underlying hotels.
The General Partner is currently  unable to estimate the impact the future state
of the economy could have on the Partnership's operations, liquidity, or capital
resources.

                                  Distributions
                                  -------------

     The Partnership did not declare a distribution in 2008 or the first quarter
of 2009.

                          Financial Condition/Liquidity
                          -----------------------------

     The  Partnership  expects that the hotels in the  aggregate  will  generate
sufficient cash flow to achieve a positive cash flow after  operating  expenses.
In addition to the periodic  replacement  of fixed assets,  the General  Partner
determined  several years ago that certain capital  improvements  were needed to
enhance the  marketability of the hotels.  Since 1997, the Partnership  funded a
total of  approximately  $2.5  million from the working  capital  reserve to the
hotels for such capital improvements.

     The Partnership's  liquidity and future results of operations are primarily
dependent upon the performance of the underlying hotels. Hotel operations may be
materially  affected by changing market conditions and by seasonality  caused by
variables such as vacations, holidays and climate. The General Partner continues
to work closely with the hotels'  manager to institute an  aggressive  marketing
campaign and stricter  cost-cutting  and  cost-control  measures in an effort to
maintain liquidity at the hotels.

     For the three month period ended March 31, 2009,  existing  cash  resources
were adequate to support operating and financing  requirements.  The Partnership
anticipates that future cash flows from the hotels' operations and existing cash
resources,  in the  aggregate,  will be sufficient  to pay  operating  expenses,
accounts payable and accrued expenses, and hotel trade payables, and to fund the
working capital and capital improvements reserves.  Accounts payable and accrued
expenses  and hotel trade  payables at March 31, 2009  totaled  $783,038,  which
represents a $15,570  decrease  from  December 31,  2008.  Accounts  payable and
accrued  expenses  increased  primarily  due to  increases  in real estate taxes
payable  and land lease  payable,  partially  offset by a decrease in audit fees
payable.  Hotel  trade  payables  decreased  primarily  due to timing of payment
compared to fourth quarter 2008.

     The  Partnership  assumed an  existing  lease  agreement  from Days Inns of
America,  Inc. in connection with the  acquisition of the leasehold  interest in
the  Scottsdale  Days Inn. The  assumption  transfers  the rights to operate the
property on the lease's  existing terms over the remaining life of the lease. In
October  2002,  the lease was  extended  to expire on  December  31,  2008.  The
Partnership  negotiated and executed a short term extension through December 31,
2009 until the ground  lessor  decides to re-develop  the property.  There is no
assurance  that the lease will be renewed.  Operating  income for the Scottsdale
hotel was $217,210 for the three month period ended March 31, 2009.

Financing
- ---------

     On December 19, 1997, the Partnership refinanced with Citicorp Real Estate,
Inc. (Citicorp) the Zero Coupon Notes which were originally issued in connection
with the  Partnership's  acquisition of the hotels.  The loan matured January 1,
2008. On that date, a balloon  payment in the amount of  $7,273,441  became due.
The General  Partner was unable to refinance  the  Partnership's  mortgage  debt
prior to its maturity.  Although the loan was in default,  the special  servicer
agreed to a forbearance  agreement for a period of 180 days for payment of a fee
in the amount of $72,734, plus continued monthly payments of principal, interest
(at the pre-default rate) and tax and capital improvements escrows.

     On May 6, 2008, the  Partnership  closed three loans from General  Electric
Credit Corporation ("GE") in the aggregate amount of $5,000,000 to refinance the
Plymouth and Roseville  hotels in Minnesota and the Clearwater hotel in Florida.
The three loans are  cross-collateralized  by the three hotels.  The Partnership
used the loan proceeds  together with the proceeds,  of a loan from  Remediation
Capital Funding,  LLC in the amount of $2,900,000,  of which $500,000 is held by
the Lender pending  resolution of the  environmental  matter  further  discussed
below,  secured by the  University  hotel in Minnesota,  to pay off the existing
debt in full.

     The Phase I  environmental  study of the  University  hotel  required by GE
revealed excess levels of three chemicals deemed hazardous in the groundwater on
the property.  The  contamination  is not due to acts or omissions of the hotel.
Simultaneously  with  its  refinancing   efforts,   the  Partnership  engaged  a
consultant to enroll the University  property in the Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency's ("MCPA")  Voluntary  Investigation and Cleanup ("VIC") Program and deal
with the  contamination  at the site. The  Partnership's  goal is to obtain a No
Action  Letter  with a Covenant  Not to Sue, at which point it should be able to
obtain financing on the property again.  NOVA, the Partnership's  consultant has
prepared  and  submitted  an  additional  Phase I study in  accordance  with the
guidelines  established by the MPCA-VIC  Program along with the  application and
proposed  scope of work for the required  Phase II study.  On July 16, 2008, the
MPCA  approved  the work plan for the Phase II study  with  samples  of soil and
ground water  scheduled to begin  collection  for analysis  August 11, 2008.  On
January 28, 2009, NOVA completed the Phase II study. Based on the results of the
solvent,  petroleum, and RCRA metal impacts above action or guidance levels that
were detected in the soil, soil vapor and groundwater  samples  collected at the
site, with the exception of the petroleum impacts, the compounds detected at the
site  appear to be  associated  with  regional  up  gradient  off-site  areas of
contamination located to the northeast and possibly to the north of the site. It
does not  appear  that the  historical  uses of the site are the  source  of the
solvent,  soil vapor and  groundwater  impacts  detected  at the site.  NOVA has
submitted   these   results  and  requests  that  the  MPCA  issue  an  Off-Site
Determination  letter and No Further Action letter for the site. The Partnership
has been advised that the VIC Program  process will likely take from nine months
to eighteen months.

     The three  new GE loans  bear  interest  at the rate of 6.79% per annum and
mature on January 1, 2016 with balloon payments due as set forth below:

                 Plymouth         $887,269
                 Roseville        $2,083,122
                 Clearwater       $887,269

     The new loan with Remediation Capital bears interest at the rate of 14% per
annum and  matures on May 6,  2009.  On May 5, 2009,  the loan was  extended  to
mature November 5, 2009. The Partnership has one option, at its sole discretion,
to extend the loan for six  months.  It is  contemplated  that this loan will be
refinanced  after the  environmental  issues at the  University  hotel have been
resolved.

Part I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis
          of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Continued


     The Partnership  made  installments  of principal and interest  aggregating
$216,766 and $201,147 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.
The Partnership's  balance on the loan was $7,310,628 and $7,341,231 as of March
31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

Capital Improvements and Real Estate Tax Reserves Held by Servicer
- ------------------------------------------------------------------

     In addition  to the monthly  loan  installments  under its former  mortgage
loan, as discussed  below, the Partnership also made monthly payments which were
escrowed for capital  improvements and estimated annual real estate taxes.  This
loan was refinanced on May 6, 2008. The Partnership was reimbursed by the former
servicer  in June  2008  for the  remaining  balances  in the  escrowed  capital
improvement  and  real  estate  tax  accounts.  Under  the  new  mortgages,  the
Partnership will pay directly for real estate taxes and capital improvements.

     During the three month period ended March 31, 2008,  the  Partnership  made
escrow deposits  aggregating $58,094 for capital  improvements,  and $97,966 for
estimated  annual real estate  taxes.  As of March 31,  2008 the  servicer  held
reserves  of $256,474  for capital  improvements  and  $215,815  for real estate
taxes.

Working Capital Reserve
- -----------------------

     The working  capital  reserve of $1,951,840  and $2,333,266 as of March 31,
2009  and  December  31,  2008,  respectively,  represents  all  cash  and  cash
equivalents  maintained as working  capital for the  Partnership.  In accordance
with the terms of the Partnership Agreement,  the working capital reserve may be
increased or reduced by the General Partner as it deems appropriate.

                       Results of Operations - Partnership
                       -----------------------------------

     The Partnership  recognized net loss for the three month period ended March
31, 2009,  compared to net income at March 31, 2008  primarily  due to decreased
rooms  revenue  as a  result  of  lower  occupancy  at all of the  five  hotels,
partially  offset by  decreases  in rooms  expense,  general and  administrative
expenses  and building  lease  expense.  Rooms  expense  decreased  due to lower
occupancy.  General and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to lower
reimbursed  payroll costs and the forbearance  fee paid in 2008.  Building lease
expense decreased due to lower revenues at the Scottsdale Days Inn.

     The General  Partner is not able to predict the future trend of hotel gross
operating  income,  especially  rooms revenue as it is affected by occupancy and
average  daily rate.  The General  Partner  continues  to work  closely with the
hotels' manager to contain any increase in unallocated operating expenses.

     An analysis of each hotel's  operating  results for the three month periods
ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, follows.

                         Results of Operations -- Hotels
                         -------------------------------

Operating statistics
- --------------------

     The  hotels'   results  of  operations  are  affected  by  changing  market
conditions  and by seasonality  caused by variables such as vacations,  holidays
and climate.  Based on the hotels' operating budgets and historical  trends, the
following  months  should  provide the highest net cash flow to the  Partnership
from each of the hotels.

Clearwater,  Florida:  Gross operating income and operating income for the three
month  period  ended  March  31,  2009,  decreased  from 2008  primarily  due to
decreases in rooms revenue,  telephone  revenue and rental and other revenue and
increased  energy  expense,  partially  offset by  decreases  in rooms  expense,
telephone  expense,  rental  and  other  expense,   general  and  administrative
expenses,  marketing expense, repair and maintenance expenses,  management fees,
insurance  expense and  property  tax expense.  Occupancy  decreased  due to the
sluggish  economy and a  significant  decrease  in the housing and  construction
markets.

Minneapolis,  Minnesota:  Gross  operating  income and operating  income for the
three month period ended March 31, 2009,  decreased  from 2008  primarily due to
decreases in rooms revenue,  telephone  revenue and rental and other revenue and

expense,  repair and  maintenance  expenses,  management  fees and  property tax
expense.  Occupancy decreased due to market demand with the largest shortfall in
the transient market, the University of Minnesota visitor rate.

expense  and  property  tax  expense,  partially  offset by  decreases  in rooms
expense,  telephone expense, rental and other expense, marketing expense, energy

Part I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 4. Controls and Procedures


     In April  2009,  representatives  of the  Managing  General  Partner of the
Partnership  carried out an  evaluation of the  effectiveness  of the design and
operation of the Partnership's  disclosure controls and procedures,  pursuant to
Exchange Act Rules  13a-15 and 15d-15.  The  Managing  General  Partner does not
expect that the  Partnership's  disclosure  controls and procedures will prevent
all error and all fraud.  A control  system,  no matter how well  conceived  and
operated,  can provide only  reasonable  assurance  that the  objectives  of the
control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the
fact that there are resource  constraints,  and the benefits of controls must be
considered relative to their costs.  Because of the inherent  limitations in all
control systems,  no evaluation of controls can provide absolute  assurance that
all control issues have been detected.  These inherent  limitations  include the
realities that judgments in  decision-making  can be faulty, and that breakdowns
can occur  because  of simple  error or  mistake.  The  design of any  system of
controls also is based in part upon certain  assumptions about the likelihood of
future  events,  and there can be no  assurance  that any design will succeed in
achieving its stated goals under all  potential  future  conditions.  Over time,
controls may become inadequate  because of changes in conditions,  or the degree
of compliance  with the policies or procedures may  deteriorate.  Because of the
inherent  limitations in a cost-effective  control system,  misstatements due to
error or fraud may  occur and not be  detected.  Based on such  evaluation,  our
principal  executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that
as of March 31, 2009, our disclosure  controls and procedures  were effective to
ensure that (i) the  information  required to be  disclosed by us in the reports
filed or submitted by us under the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
was  recorded,  processed,  summarized  or  reported  within  the  time  periods
specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (ii) such information was accumulated
and communicated to management,  including our principal  executive  officer and
principal  financial  officer,  to allow  timely  decisions  regarding  required
disclosure.  In  addition,  there  have  been  no  significant  changes  in  the
Partnership's  internal  controls over financial  reporting that occurred during
the Partnership's most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership's internal controls over
financial reporting.


Part II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 5. Other Information

a.   There has not been any information  required to be disclosed in a report on
     Form 8-K during the quarter ended March 31, 2009, but not reported, whether
     or not otherwise required by this Form 10-Q at March 31, 2009.

b.   There is no established market for the purchase and sale of BACs,  although
     various  informal  secondary  market  services  exist.  Due to the  limited
     markets,  however,  investors may be unable to sell or otherwise dispose of
     their BACs.
