A.ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     included in the Partnership's Form 10-K  for  the year ended
     December 31, 1998.  In the opinion of management,  such
     financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only 
     of  normal recurring adjustments, necessary to summarize 
     fairly  the  Partnership's  financial  position  and results
     of operations.  The results of operations for the three month 
     period ended March 31, 1999 may not be indicative of the

C. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

     During the three month periods ended March 31, 1999 and 1998,

     foreclosing on the debt to Hickory Hills, Ltd. after  the note
     matured and payment was not made.  Due to the intended
     foreclosure, the Financial Statements included herein, as of
     December 31, 1998, reflect the transfer of property to the
     Lender.  Foreclosure proceeding are not expected to be
     complete until mid-1999.

Item 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
      FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1999.

The  Partnership's  primary business was to lend monies to Hickory
Hills, Ltd.  On December 31, 1998, the Partnership began the
process of foreclosing on the debt to Hickory Hills, Ltd. after 
the note matured and payment was not made.  The general partner
determined that the value of the underlying collateral could not
result in full payment of the debt and accrued interest.  Due to
the intended foreclosure, the Financial Statements included herein,
as of December 31, 1998, reflect the transfer of property to the
Lender.  Foreclosure proceedings are expected to be complete in the
second quarter of 1999.

The general partner and its affiliates have been actively involved
in managing the Partnership, the Property and the foreclosure. 
  
FINANCIAL CONDITION

LIQUIDITY

At April 30, 1999, the Registrant had approximately $36,642 in cash
reserves.  These funds are expected to be sufficient to fund
operations through 1999.

Year 2000

In 1998, the Partnership initiated a plan ("Plan") to identify, and
remediate "Year 2000" issues within each of its significant
computer programs and certain equipment which contain
microprocessors.  The Plan is addressing the issue of computer
programs and embedded computer chips being unable to distinguish
between the year 1900 and the year 2000, if a program or chip uses
only two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. 
The Partnership has divided the Plan into five major phases-
assessment, planning, conversion, implementation and testing. 
After completing the assessment and planning phases earlier year,
the Partnership is currently in the conversion, implementation, and
testing phases.  Systems which have been determined not to be Year
2000 compliant are being either replaced or reprogrammed, and
thereafter tested for Year 2000 compliance.  The Plan anticipates
that by mid-1999 the conversion, implementation and testing phases
will be completed.  Management believes that the total remediation
costs for the Plan will not be material to the operations or
liquidity of the Partnership.

The Partnership is in the process of identifying and contacting
critical suppliers and other vendors whose computerized systems
interface with the Partnership's systems, regarding their plans and
progress in addressing their Year 2000 issues.  The Partnership has
received varying information from such third parties on the state
of compliance or expected compliance.  Contingency plans are being
developed in the event that any critical supplier or customer is
not compliant.  

The failure to correct a material Year 2000 problem could result in
an interruption in, or failure of, certain normal business
activities or operations.  Such failures could materially and
adversely affect the Partnership's operations, liquidity and
financial condition.  Due to the general uncertainty inherent in
the Year 2000 problem, resulting in part from the uncertainty of
the Year 2000 readiness of third-party suppliers and customers, the
Partnership is unable to determine at this time whether the
consequences of Year 2000 failures will have a material impact on
the Partnership's operations, liquidity or financial condition.
