MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
DECEMBER 31, 1998
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of December 31, 1998, the Partnership's current assets of $748,920 exceeded
its current liabilities of $107,533 providing an operating reserve of $641,387,
which is greater than the $455,000 target set by the General Partners. In the
unlikely event that the Partnership's reserves do not meet operating needs, the
Partnership's Pleasanton, California motel will provide substantial collateral
against additional debt.
The Partnership has no material commitments for capital expenditures. Renovation
and replacement expenditures during the first three months of the fiscal year
which will end on September 30, 1999, were $45,099 or 12.0% of room revenues.
Included in the expenditures was $20,456 for a replacement voice mail system and
$14,280 for painting the building.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is a comparison of operating results for the three month periods
ended December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997.
Total revenues decreased $52,765 or 11.7% for the three months ended December
31, 1998 as compared to the corresponding period of the preceding fiscal year.
Guest room revenue decreased $55,326 or 12.9% for the current period as compared
to the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year. This decrease is due to
a decrease in occupancy from 70.8% in last quarter of 1997 to 52.4% in last
quarter of 1998 which was partially offset by an increase in average room rate
from $64.69 in 1997 to $76.18 in 1998. The decreased occupancy is due to the
opening of five motels containing approximately 500 guestrooms in the Pleasanton
area, all of which are competitive with our motel.
Total expenditures decreased $8,157 or 2.7% during the three months covered by
this report as compared to the previous fiscal year. Most operating expenses
decreased due to the decreased occupancy and the resulting lower rental income.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
DECEMBER 31, 1998 (Continued)
FUTURE TRENDS
On May 15, 1998, the Partnership and four other limited partnerships managed by
the Managing General Partner entered into a contract to sell all of their motel
assets. Escrow for the sale opened in June 1998. By majority vote the limited
partners of the Partnership and the four other partnerships have approved the
sale pursuant to such contract. The sale of the Partnership's motel assets and
the motel assets of the other limited partnerships are subject to certain
contingencies. Because of these contingencies the Partnership has not yet
reclassified its motel assets as held for sale. If the sale occurs on the terms
approved by the Limited Partners, it is anticipated that the Partnership would
report a gain per books in the amount of approximately $7,186,000. Accordingly,
there has been no adjustment to the carrying value of the Partnership's motel
assets. If the sale is consummated the Partnership would be liquidated.
The General Partners expect the Pleasanton motel to continue its performance if
the current improvement in the general economic climate continues.
In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments
which were necessary to a fair statement of results for the interim periods
presented. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
