NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
The accompanying unaudited financial statements include all adjustments
which are, in the opinion of management, considered necessary to present a
fair statement of the financial position of John Hancock Properties Limited
Partnership (the "Partnership"). As described in Note 2 below, as of
December 31, 1995, the Partnership changed its basis of accounting from the
going-concern basis to the liquidation basis.
For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1995.
Certain significant events have occurred, or material contingencies exist,
which require disclosure in this interim report per Regulation S-X, Rule 10-
01, Paragraph (a)(5).
1. Organization of Partnership
---------------------------
The Partnership was formed under the Massachusetts Uniform Limited
Partnership Act on May 17, 1984. As of September 30, 1996, the
Partnership consisted of a sole Managing General Partner, John
Hancock Realty Equities, Inc. (the "Managing General Partner"), an
Associate General Partner, JH Associates Limited Partnership (the
"Associate General Partner"), and 2,053 Limited Partners. The
Managing General Partner and Associate General Partner are
collectively referred to as the "General Partners" and the General
Partners and the Limited Partners are collectively referred to as
the "Partners". The Managing General Partner is the general partner
of the Associate General Partner and is a wholly-owned, indirect
subsidiary of John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company ("John
Hancock"). The Partnership is engaged solely in the acquisition,
operation, and disposition of investment real estate. The initial
capital of the Partnership was $6,000, representing capital
contributions of $800 from the Managing General Partner, $200 from
the Associate General Partner and $5,000 from the initial Limited
Partner (a former director of the Managing General Partner). The
Amended Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership (the
"Partnership Agreement") authorized the issuance of up to 35,000
units of Limited Partnership Interests at $1,000 per unit. During
the offering period, which terminated on August 31, 1985, 21,954
units of Limited Partnership Interests ("Units") were sold. There
have been no changes in the number of Units outstanding subsequent
to the termination of the offering period.

1. Organization of Partnership (continued)
---------------------------
The latest date on which the Partnership was due to terminate was
December 31, 2020, unless it was sooner terminated in accordance
with the terms of the Partnership Agreement. It was expected that
in the ordinary course of the Partnership's business, the properties
of the Partnership would be disposed of, and the Partnership
terminated, before December 31, 2020. As initially stated in its
Prospectus, the sale of the Partnership's last remaining property
was expected to occur within five to eight years following the date
such property was acquired by the Partnership.
On December 29, 1995, the Partnership sold its last remaining
property, the Fisherman's Village Apartments, which resulted in the
termination of the Partnership's operations. On January 17, 1996,
cash in the amount of $658,620 was distributed to the Limited
Partners from the Partnership's net assets and the Managing General
Partner established a reserve for contingencies with the remaining
balance of the Partnership's net assets, as permitted by, and in
accordance with, the terms of the Partnership Agreement. The
reserve for contingencies was to be used to fund any liabilities
that might have arisen.
The Managing General Partner has determined that all liabilities
have been resolved and currently anticipates that the Partnership
will make a final distribution of the remaining net assets, in
accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement, to the
Limited Partners on November 15, 1996. Such distribution will
result in the liquidation and termination of the Partnership.
2. Liquidation Basis Financial Statement Presentation
--------------------------------------------------
On December 29, 1995, the Partnership sold its last remaining
property, the Fisherman's Village Apartments. This sale resulted in
the termination of the Partnership's operations. The Partnership,
therefore, changed its basis of accounting from the going-concern
basis to the liquidation basis as of December 31, 1995.
Consequently, the financial statements presented in this Report on
Form 10-Q at and for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and at
December 31, 1995, have been prepared on the liquidation basis of
accounting. Under this basis, assets are stated at their estimated
net realizable values and liabilities reflect their estimated
settlement amounts. The financial statements for all periods prior
to December 31, 1995 have been prepared on the going-concern basis
of accounting.

3. The Partnership Agreement
-------------------------
Profits from the normal operations of the Partnership for each
fiscal year, or portion thereof, are allocated between the Limited
Partners and the General Partners in the same proportion as
Distributable Cash from Operations (as defined in the Partnership
Agreement) provided that (i) in no event shall the General Partners
be allocated less than 1% of any such profits from normal
operations, and (ii) if there is any fiscal year which produces no
Distributable Cash from Operations but which produces profits for
tax purposes from normal operations, such profits are allocated 90%
to the Limited Partners and 10% to the General Partners.
Losses from the normal operations of the Partnership for each fiscal
year or portion thereof are allocated 99% to the Limited Partners
and 1% to the General Partners, except any such profits or losses
which were based upon the Partnership's operations prior to the
initial closing under the Partnership's offering of Units were
allocated 99% to the General Partners and 1% to the initial Limited
Partner.
Distributable Cash from Operations is distributed 90% to the Limited
Partners and 10% to the General Partners; provided, however, that in
each fiscal year the General Partners will defer their receipt of
any Distributable Cash from Operations to the extent necessary to
provide the Limited Partners with a non-cumulative return in such
year equal to 4% of their Invested Capital (as defined in the
Partnership Agreement). All distributions of Distributable Cash
from Operations deferred by the General Partners accrue and are
payable to them, to the extent possible, out of subsequent years'
Distributable Cash from Operations remaining after the receipt by
the Limited Partners of the aforesaid 4% return, or out of cash from
sales and refinancings as specified below.

JOHN HANCOCK PROPERTIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
(A Massachusetts Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
3. The Partnership Agreement (continued)
-------------------------
Cash from Sales or Refinancings (as defined in the Partnership
Agreement) is distributed to the Limited Partners until the Limited
Partners have received, first, a return of their total Invested
Capital, and, second, such additional amount as may be necessary,
after giving effect to all previous distributions of Distributable
Cash from Operations and of Cash from Sales or Refinancings, to the
extent required to satisfy any deficiency in the Cumulative Return
on Investment (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) to produce
in the aggregate a Cumulative Return on Investment of 7% per annum
for all fiscal quarters commencing on or after January 1, 1986, and
ending prior to the date of such distribution. The General Partners
are then entitled to receive an amount of Cash from Sales or
Refinancings equal to any portion of the General Partners' share of
Distributable Cash from Operations which was previously deferred in
order to permit the payment to the Limited Partners of a
non-cumulative return in each year equal to 4% of their Invested
Capital. Any Cash from Sales or Refinancings remaining after the
Limited Partners have received a return of their total Invested
Capital plus the Cumulative Return on Investment of 7% per annum for
all fiscal quarters commencing on or after January 1, 1986, and
ended prior to the date of such distribution, and after the General
Partners have received an amount of such cash equal to any such
deferred payment of Distributable Cash from Operations, will be
distributed 85% to the Limited Partners and 15% to the General
Partners.
Cash from the sale of the last of the Partnership's properties is
distributed in the same manner as Cash from Sales or Refinancings,
except that before any other distribution is made to the Partners,
each Partner shall first receive from such cash, an amount equal to
the then positive balance, if any, in such Partner's capital account
after crediting or charging to such account the profits or losses
for tax purposes from such sale. To the extent, if any, that a
Partner is entitled to receive a distribution of cash based upon a
positive balance in its capital account prior to such distribution,
such distribution will be credited against the amount of such cash
the Partner would have been entitled to receive based upon the
manner of distribution of Cash from Sales or Refinancings, as
specified in the previous paragraph.

JOHN HANCOCK PROPERTIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
3. The Partnership Agreement (continued)
-------------------------
Profits from Sales or Refinancings are generally allocated in the
same manner as cash from the transaction; however, in no event shall
the General Partners be allocated less than 1% of any such profits
from the transaction. Losses from Sales or Refinancings are
allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General
Partners. In connection with the sale of the last of the
Partnership's properties, and therefore the dissolution of the
Partnership, profits will be allocated to any Partners having a
deficit balance in their capital account in an amount equal to the
deficit balance. Any remaining profits will be allocated in the
same order as cash from the sale would be distributed.
Upon dissolution and termination of the Partnership, the General
Partners will contribute to the Partnership an amount equal to the
lesser of (i) the deficit balances in their capital accounts, or
(ii) the excess of 1.01% of the total capital contributions of the
Limited Partners over the amount of capital previously contributed
by the General Partners.
4. Transactions with the General Partners and Affiliates
-----------------------------------------------------
Expenses incurred or paid by the General Partners or their
affiliates and to which the General Partners and their affiliates
are entitled to reimbursement from the Partnership, and interest
expense on borrowings from the Managing General Partner were as
follows:
Nine Months Ended
September 30,
1996 1995

Operating expenses $62,831 $70,336
Interest on mortgage note payable

======= ========
The above expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 are
included in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets in Liquidation
and the above expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1995
are included in expenses on the Statement of Operations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

4. Transactions with the General Partners and Affiliates (continued)
-----------------------------------------------------
Accounts payable to affiliates represents amounts due to the General
Partners and their affiliates for various services provided to the
Partnership.
The Managing General Partner serves in a similar capacity for three
other affiliated real estate limited partnerships.
Mortgage note payable to affiliate represented a short-term
borrowing by the Partnership in the amount of $8,193,775 from the
Managing General Partner. The mortgage note carried interest at a
rate of 8.75% per annum and was collateralized by the Fisherman's
Village Apartments. On January 3, 1996, the Partnership paid the
outstanding mortgage indebtedness held by the Managing General
Partner with funds provided by the sale of its last property, the
Fisherman's Village Apartments.
Note payable to affiliate represented a short-term borrowing by the
Partnership in the principal amount of $1,000,000 from the Managing
General Partner. The note carried interest at a rate of 8.5% per
annum. During the second quarter of 1995, the Partnership utilized
net proceeds from the sale of the Northgreen Apartments to pay the
Managing General Partner the entire outstanding principal balance of
the note in the amount of $1,000,000.
5. Note Receivable
---------------
Effective August 9, 1987, the unconditional guaranty obligation
granted by the seller of the Waterford Apartments (the "Obligor") to
the Partnership for operating deficits (including debt service) was
extended until August 1, 1994. (The Waterford Apartments was
conveyed to the property's mortgagee by a deed-in-lieu of
foreclosure on August 9, 1991.) The outstanding balance due in the
amount of $258,950 was restructured as a 10.5% Promissory Note (the
"Note") due on or before August 1, 1994. As of December 31, 1993
the Managing General Partner believed, based on information obtained
with respect to the Obligor's financial condition, that it was
probable that the Partnership would be unable to collect all amounts
due from the Obligor according to the contractual terms of the Note.
Accordingly, the Partnership established a provision, reflected in
the accompanying Statements of Net Assets in Liquidation, against
the then entire outstanding balance of the Note.
13
JOHN HANCOCK PROPERTIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
(A Massachusetts Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
5. Note Receivable (continued)
---------------
In June 1994, the Obligor notified the Partnership that he would be
unable to continue to pay the minimum monthly payments on the note
and would be unable to pay the outstanding balance of the note upon
its maturity on August 1, 1994. The Obligor failed to make the
minimum required payments due on the Note since June 1, 1994 and
subsequently failed to pay the outstanding balance of the Note,
which was due on August 1, 1994. Once the Obligor ceased making the
requisite payments on the Note, the Managing General Partner issued
a default notice and demand for payment to the Obligor and filed a
complaint with the court demanding full payment of all amounts owing
under the Note. On December 7, 1994 the court granted the
Partnership a summary judgment in response to the complaint filed
against the Obligor in the amount of $305,489, which represented the
balance of the Note at maturity plus accrued interest thereon from
the maturity date of the Note through the date of the judgment.
After a detailed review of the Obligor's financial condition and
based upon representations and assurances by the Obligor that he had
insufficient assets with which to satisfy the judgment, the Managing
General Partner reached a settlement with the Obligor. Effective
April 29, 1996, the Partnership released the judgment against the
Obligor in exchange for a one-time cash payment in the amount of
$35,000.
6. Federal Income Taxes
--------------------
A reconciliation of the net income reported in the Statement of
Operations to the net income reported for federal income tax
purposes for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 is as follows:
Net income per Statement of Operations $3,865,565
Add/(deduct): Excess tax gain over book
gain on disposition of assets 1,897,508
Excess of tax depreciation
over book depreciation (206,476)
Other income 1,500)
----------
Net income for federal income tax purposes $5,555,097

JOHN HANCOCK PROPERTIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
(A Massachusetts Limited Partnership)
Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
General
- -------
On December 29, 1995, the Partnership sold its last remaining property, the
Fisherman's Village Apartments, which resulted in the termination of the
Partnership's operations. On January 17, 1996, cash in the amount of
$658,620 was distributed to the Limited Partners from the Partnership's net
assets and the Managing General Partner established a reserve for
contingencies with the remaining balance of the Partnership's net assets,
as permitted by, and in accordance with, the terms of the Partnership
Agreement. The reserve for contingencies was to be used to fund any
liabilities that might have arisen.
The Managing General Partner has determined that all liabilities have been
resolved and currently anticipates that the Partnership will make a final
distribution of the remaining net assets, in accordance with the terms of
the Partnership Agreement, to the Limited Partners on November 15, 1996.
Such distribution will result in the liquidation and termination of the
Partnership. At the time of such final distribution, the outstanding Units
will be canceled and, in accordance with federal securities laws, will be
de-registered with the S.E.C., after which time the Partnership will no
longer be required to file periodic reports with the S.E.C.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
As a result of the sale of the Partnership's last remaining property on
December 29, 1995 and, therefore, the termination of the Partnership's
operations, the financial statements presented in this Report on Form 10-Q
at and for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and at December 31,
1995, have been prepared on a basis of accounting which requires that all
non-liquid assets be stated at their estimated net realizable value and all
liabilities at their estimated settlement amounts.
As of September 30, 1996, the Partnership had $1,066,386 in cash and cash
equivalents and net assets of $992,884.
On January 3, 1996, the Partnership paid the outstanding principal balance
and all accrued and unpaid interest on the mortgage indebtedness held by
the Managing General Partner, in the aggregate amount of $8,201,558, with
funds provided by the sale of its last property, the Fisherman's Village
Apartments.
Effective April 29, 1996, the Managing General Partner reached an agreement
with the seller of the Waterford Apartments (the "Obligor") on the judgment
the Partnership held against the Obligor in the amount of $305,489 (see
Note 5 of the financial statements included in Item 1 of this Report).
After a detailed review of the Obligor's financial condition and
representations and assurances made by the Obligor that he had insufficient
assets with which to satisfy the judgment, the Partnership released the
judgment against the Obligor in exchange for a one-time cash payment in the
amount of $35,000.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------
The Statement of Changes in Net Assets in Liquidation is presented for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 to reflect the liquidation basis of
accounting for such period. As a result, a comparison is not meaningful
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 relative to the corresponding
period in 1995.
On January 1, 1996, the Partnership had net assets of $1,726,978, which
represents total assets less total liabilities. At September 30, 1996 net
assets were $992,884, reflecting a decrease in net assets of $734,094
during the nine months then ended. This decrease in net assets resulted
from the following activity during the period: $658,620 of cash
distributions to the Limited Partners, $133,185 of general and
administrative expenses, $26,767 of property operating expenses relating to
the Fisherman's Village Apartments, and $3,928 of interest expense. These
decreases were partially offset by $53,406 of interest income earned on
cash and cash equivalents during the period and $35,000 of cash received
from the Obligor as settlement for the Note and to release the judgment.

The following table provides the calculations of Adjusted Cash from
Operations and Distributable Cash from Operations for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995, which are calculated in accordance with Section 17 of
the Partnership Agreement:
Net cash provided by

(a) Net cash provided by operating activities, net change in operating
assets and liabilities, and cash provided by operations are as
calculated in the Statement of Cash Flows included in Item 1 of this
Report.
(b) As defined in the Partnership Agreement. Distributable Cash from
Operations should not be considered as an alternative to net income
(i.e. not an indicator of performance) or to reflect cash flows or
availability of discretionary funds.

JOHN HANCOCK PROPERTIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
(A Massachusetts Limited Partnership)
Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (continued)
Cash Flow (continued)
- ---------
As a result of the sale of the Partnership's last remaining property on
December 29, 1995 and, therefore, the termination of the Partnership's
operations, the Partnership changed its basis of accounting from the going-
concern basis to the liquidation basis of accounting. The financial
statements in this Report on Form 10-Q at and for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 have been prepared on the going-concern basis of
accounting. The financial statements at and for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 and at December 31, 1995 have been prepared on the
liquidation basis of accounting. As a result, the Statement of Cash Flows
included in Item 1 of this Report does not reflect any of the information
reported using this liquidation basis. The Partnership did not generate
any Adjusted Cash from Operations nor any Distributable Cash from
Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, and, therefore,
calculations of Adjusted Cash from Operations and Distributable Cash from
Operations for such periods have been omitted.
On January 17, 1996, the Managing General Partner made a cash distribution
from the Partnership's net assets in the aggregate amount of $658,620 to
all Limited Partners of record at December 31, 1995 and established a
reserve for contingencies with the remaining balance of the Partnership's
net assets. The reserve for contingencies was to be used to fund any
liabilities that might have arisen. The Managing General Partner has
determined that all liabilities have been resolved and currently
anticipates that the Partnership will make a final distribution of the
remaining net assets, in accordance with the terms of the Partnership
Agreement, to the Limited Partners on November 15, 1996. Such distribution
will result in the liquidation and termination of the Partnership.
