note 1 - General
In the opinion of the management of the Partnership, the accompanying
unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal,
recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial information
included therein. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the audited financial statements included in the Partnership's Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The results of operations for the nine and three month periods ended
September 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be
expected for the full year.
note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Loans secured by deeds of trust
At September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the Partnership had one loan
categorized as impaired totaling $96,716, with a reduction in the carrying value
of the impaired loan of $14,596. The reduction in the carrying value of the
impaired loan is included in the allowance for loan losses. The impaired loan
has accrued interest and advances totaling $10,973 at September 30, 2004 and
December 31, 2003. The average recorded investment in the impaired loan was
$96,716 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004 and for the year
ended December 31, 2003.
At September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the Partnership had one loan
past due 90 days or more in interest payments totaling $144,349 (2.70% of the
secured loan portfolio at September 30, 2004 and 2.75% of the secured loan
portfolio at December 31, 2003). This loan is also past its maturity date (see
Note 6). The Partnership does not consider this loan to be impaired because
management believes there is sufficient collateral to cover the amount
outstanding to the Partnership, and the Partnership is still accruing interest
on this loan.
Allowance for loan losses
The composition of the allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 2004
and December 31, 2003 was as follows:
September 30, December 31,

note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Income taxes
No provision for federal and state income taxes, except for a minimum state
tax of $800, is made in the financial statements since income taxes are the
obligation of the partners if and when income taxes apply.
Net income per $1,000 invested
Amounts reflected in the statements of income as net income per $1,000
invested by limited partners for the entire period are amounts allocated to
limited partners who held their investment throughout the period and have
elected to either leave their earnings to compound or have elected to receive
periodic distributions of their net income. Individual income is allocated each
month based on the limited partners' pro rata share of partners' capital.
Because the net income percentage varies from month to month, amounts per $1,000
will vary for those individuals who made or withdrew investments during the
period, or select other options.
Management estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions about the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, at
the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reported periods. Such estimates relate principally to the
determination of the allowance for loan losses, including the valuation of
impaired loans and the valuation of real estate held for sale. Actual results
could differ significantly from these estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications, not affecting previously reported net income or
total partners' capital, have been made to the previously issued financial
statements to conform to the current year classification.
Profits and losses
Profits and losses are allocated among the limited partners according to
their respective capital accounts monthly after 1% of the profits and losses are
allocated to the general partners.
note 3 - General Partners and Related Parties
The following are commissions and fees that are paid to the general
partners and affiliates.
Mortgage brokerage commissions
For fees in connection with the review, selection, evaluation, negotiation
and extension of loans, Redwood Mortgage Corp., an affiliate of the general
partners, may collect an amount equivalent to 12% of the loaned amount until 6
months after the termination date of the offering. Thereafter, loan brokerage
commissions (points) will be limited to an amount not to exceed 4% of the total
Partnership assets per year. The loan brokerage commissions are paid by the
borrowers, and thus, are not an expense of the Partnership.

note 3 - General Partners and Related Parties (continued)
Mortgage servicing fees
Monthly mortgage servicing fees of up to 1/8 of 1% (1.5% annual) of the
unpaid principal are paid to Redwood Mortgage Corp., an affiliate of the general
partners, based on the unpaid principal balance of the loan portfolio, or such
lesser amount as is reasonable and customary in the geographic area where the
property securing the mortgage is located. Once a loan is categorized as
impaired, mortgage servicing fees are no longer accrued. Additional servicing
fees are recorded upon the receipt of any subsequent payments on impaired loans.
Asset management fee
The general partners receive monthly fees for managing the Partnership's
loan portfolio and operations of up to 1/32 of 1% of the "net asset value" (3/8
of 1% annually).
Other fees
The partnership agreement provides for other fees such as reconveyance,
mortgage assumption and mortgage extension fees. These fees are incurred by the
borrowers and paid to the general partners.
Operating expenses
The general partners or their affiliate, Redwood Mortgage Corp., are
reimbursed by the Partnership for all operating expenses incurred by them on
behalf of the Partnership, including without limitation, out-of-pocket general
and administration expenses of the Partnership, accounting and audit fees, legal
fees and expenses, postage and preparation of reports to limited partners.
note 4 - Real Estate Held for Sale
The following schedule reflects the costs of real estate acquired through
foreclosure and the recorded reductions to estimated fair values, including
estimated costs to sell, as of September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003:
September 30, December 31,

--------------- ---------------
Real estate held for sale $ 862,288 $ 1,312,773
=============== ===============
During October, 2004 one property held for sale was sold, which resulted in
the Partnership sustaining a previously reserved loss of approximately $778,500.

note 5 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of financial instruments:
Secured loans carrying value was $5,352,955 and $5,255,620 at September 30,
2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. The fair value of these loans of
$5,292,747 and $5,019,338, respectively, was estimated based upon projected cash
flows discounted at the estimated current interest rates at which similar loans
would be made. The applicable amount of the allowance for loan losses along with
accrued interest and advances related thereto should also be considered in
evaluating the fair value versus the carrying value.
note 6 - Asset Concentrations and Characteristics
Loans are secured by recorded deeds of trust. At September 30, 2004 and
December 31, 2003, there were 15 and 16 secured loans outstanding respectively,
with the following characteristics:
September 30, December 31,

Average secured loan to appraised value of security based on appraised
values and senior liens at inception of loan 77.68% 78.87%
Number of secured loans in foreclosure None None
Amounts of secured loans in foreclosure None None
* At loan inception this loan represented 8.8% of outstanding loans and
8.7% of partners' capital.
Over time, loans may increase above 10% of the secured loan portfolio or
Partnership assets as the loan portfolio and assets of the Partnership decrease
due to limited partner withdrawals and/or loan payoffs.

Notes to Financial Statements
SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 (unaudited)
note 6 - Asset Concentrations and Characteristics (continued)
The Partnership has a substantial amount of its loan receivable balance
from one borrower at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003. This borrower
accounted for approximately 57% and 58% of the loan balances at such dates,
respectively. This borrower accounted for approximately 48% and 50% of interest
revenue for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004 and year ended
December 31, 2003, respectively. At September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003,
the collateral value securing these loans was less than the principal balance
due under the loans. Redwood Mortgage Corp. has provided an indemnity to the
Partnership whereby it has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless, the
Partnership from any expenses or losses incurred by the Partnership by reason of
the Partnership's inability to collect all principal due under the loans after
the Partnership has exhausted all reserves set aside for these loans and all
remedies available to it including foreclosure of the underlying collateral.
Therefore, these loans are not considered impaired solely because the value of
the collateral securing the loans is less than the principal due to the
Partnership.
note 7 - Commitments and Contingencies
Workout agreements
The Partnership has negotiated various contractual workout agreements with
borrowers. Under the terms of these workout agreements the Partnership is not
obligated to make any additional monetary advances for the maintenance or repair
of the collateral securing the loans as of September 30, 2004 and December 31,
2003. There are two loans totaling $175,927 and $176,085 in workout agreements
as of September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.
Legal proceedings
The Partnership is involved in various legal actions arising in the normal
course of business. In the opinion of management, such matters will not have a
material effect upon the financial position of the Partnership.
10
Part I - Item 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
OF THE PARTNERSHIP
Critical Accounting Policies.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make
estimates based on the information available that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet dates and revenues and expenses
for the reporting periods. Such estimates relate principally to the
determination of (1) the allowance for loan losses (i.e. the amount of allowance
established against loans receivable as an estimate of potential loan losses)
including the accrued interest and advances that are estimated to be
unrecoverable based on estimates of amounts to be collected plus estimates of
the value of the property as collateral and (2) the valuation of real estate
held for sale. At September 30, 2004, there were two real estate properties held
for sale, acquired through foreclosure in prior years. In October, 2004 one of
the properties was sold. The Partnership sustained a previously reserved loss of
approximately $778,500 upon the sale of this property.
Loans and the related accrued interest, late fees and advances are analyzed
on a regular basis for recoverability. Delinquencies are identified and followed
as part of the loan system. Delinquencies are determined based upon contractual
terms. A provision is made for loan losses to adjust the allowance for loan
losses to an amount considered by management to be adequate, with due
consideration to collateral values, to provide for unrecoverable loans and
receivables, including impaired loans, other loans, accrued interest, late fees
and advances on loans and other accounts receivable (unsecured). The Partnership
charges off uncollectible loans and related receivables directly to the
allowance account once it is determined that the full amount is not collectible.
If the probable ultimate recovery of the carrying amount of a loan, with
due consideration for the fair value of collateral, is less than amounts due
according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement and the shortfall in
the amounts due are not insignificant, the carrying amount of the loan is
reduced to the present value of future cash flows discounted at the loan's
effective interest rate. If a loan is collateral dependent, it is valued at the
estimated fair value of the related collateral.
If events and or changes in circumstances cause management to have serious
doubts about the collectibility of the contractual payments, a loan may be
categorized as impaired and interest is no longer accrued. Any subsequent
payments on impaired loans are applied to reduce the outstanding loan balances,
including accrued interest and advances.
Recent trends in the economy have been taken into consideration in the
aforementioned process of arriving at the allowance for loan losses. Actual
results could vary from the aforementioned provisions for losses.
Forward Looking Statements.
Some of the information in the Form 10-Q may contain forward looking
statements. Uses of words such as "will", "may", "anticipate", "estimate",
"continue" or other forward looking words, discuss future expectations or
predictions. The analysis of 2004 includes forward looking statements and
predictions about the possibility of future events, results of operations and
financial condition. As such, this analysis may prove to be inaccurate because
of assumptions made by the general partners or the actual development of the
future events. No assurance can be given that any of these statements or
predictions will ultimately prove to be correct or substantially correct.
Related Parties.
The general partners of the Partnership are Gymno Corporation and Michael
R. Burwell. Most Partnership business is conducted through Redwood Mortgage
Corp., an affiliate of the general partner, which arranges, services and
maintains the loan portfolio for the benefit of the Partnership. Michael R.
Burwell is President and Chief Financial Officer of Redwood Mortgage Corp. and
Gymno Corporation. The fees received by the affiliate are paid pursuant to the
partnership agreement and are determined at the sole discretion of the
affiliate. In the past the affiliate has elected not to take the maximum
compensation. The following is a list of various Partnership activities for
which related parties are compensated.
11
o Mortgage Brokerage Commissions For fees in connection with the review,
selection, evaluation, negotiation and extension of loans, Redwood Mortgage
Corp. may collect an amount equivalent to 12% of the loaned amount until 6
months after the termination date of the offering. Thereafter, the loan
brokerage commissions (points) will be limited to an amount not to exceed 4% of
the total Partnership assets per year. The loan brokerage commissions are paid
by the borrowers, and thus, are not an expense of the Partnership. Loan
brokerage commissions paid by the borrowers were $14,406 and $17,573 for the
nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, and $14,406 and $11,159
for the three month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
o Mortgage Servicing Fees Monthly mortgage servicing fees of up to 1/8 of
1% (1.5% on an annual basis) of the unpaid principal of the Partnership's loans
are paid to Redwood Mortgage Corp., or such lesser amount as is reasonable and
customary in the geographic area where the property securing the mortgage is
located. Mortgage servicing fees of $37,474 and $36,710 were incurred for the
nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, and $12,306 and $12,053
were incurred for the three month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003,
respectively.
o Asset Management Fees The general partners receive monthly fees for
managing the Partnership's portfolio and operations up to 1/32 of 1% of the `net
asset value' (3/8 of 1% on an annual basis). Management fees to the general
partners of $6,142 and $6,337 were incurred by the Partnership for the nine
month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, and $2,030 and $2,105 were
incurred for the three month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003,
respectively.
o Other Fees The Partnership agreement provides that the general partners
may receive other fees such as reconveyance, mortgage assumption and mortgage
extension fees. Such fees are incurred by the borrowers and are paid to the
general partners.
o Income and Losses All income and losses are credited or charged to
partners in relation to their respective Partnership interests. The allocation
to the general partners (combined) shall be a total of 1%.
o Operating Expenses An affiliate of the Partnership, Redwood Mortgage
Corp. is reimbursed by the Partnership for all operating expenses actually

=============== ==============
The increase in interest on loans of $25,409 for the nine month period
ended September 30, 2004 versus September 30, 2003 was due to an overall
increase in the average loan portfolio size from $4,991,843 as of September 30,
2003 to $5,130,542 as of September 30, 2004. In addition, there was an interest
rate increase on the variable interest rate of 1.50% on two loans totaling
$3,060,100 on April 15, 2004. This increase alone generated an interest income
increase of $21,038 to the Partnership through September 30, 2004. This rate
increase had a similar impact on the increase in interest earnings for the three
month period ended September 30, 2004, versus September 30, 2003.
The increase in late charge revenue and other fees of $12,541 for the nine
month period ended September 30, 2004 versus September 30, 2003 is due to the
receipt of non-refundable option payments, which are not deductible from any
eventual sale price of real estate held for sale of $28,929; offset by a
decrease in late fees and miscellaneous income of $16,388. The increase in late
charge revenue and other fees of $9,411 for the three month period ended
September 30, 2004 versus September 30, 2003, represents an increase of $9,643
in non-refundable option payments, offset by reductions in late charges and
miscellaneous income.
The increase in loan servicing fees of $764 for the nine month period and
$253 for the three month period ended September 30, 2004 versus September 30,
2003 is primarily attributable to the higher average loan portfolio balances of
$5,130,542 as of September 30, 2004, compared to $4,991,843 as of September 30,
2003.
The increase in the provision for losses on loans and real estate held for
sale of $7,547 for the nine month period and $13,881 for the three month period
ended September 30, 2004 versus September 30, 2003 is to increase reserves for
an increased loan portfolio balance.
The increase in professional services of $3,746 for the nine month period,
and $4,890 for the three month period ended September 30, 2004, was due to the
timing of services provided, and general accounting cost increases in 2004
compared to 2003 in relation to its audit and tax return processing.
13
The increase in other expenses of $32,525 for the nine month period and
$7,958 for the three month period ended September 30, 2004 was related to the
costs associated with the upkeep of existing real estate properties held for
sale.
Partnership capital decreased from $6,596,243 at December 31, 2003 to
$6,443,701 at September 30, 2004. The decrease is attributable to continued
earnings and capital liquidations.
The Partnership began funding loans in October 1987. The Partnership's
secured loans outstanding as of September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 were
$5,352,955 and $5,255,620, respectively. The overall increase in loans
outstanding at September 30, 2004 from December 31, 2003, was primarily due to
the Partnership's ability to write more loans from cash resources made available
through the sale of a real estate property held for sale in March, 2004.
The Partnership's operating results and delinquencies are within the normal
range of the general partners' expectations, based upon their experience in
managing similar partnerships over the last twenty years. Foreclosures are a
normal aspect of Partnership operations and the general partners anticipate that
they will not have a material effect on liquidity. As of September 30, 2004,
there were no properties in foreclosure. As of September 30, 2004 and 2003, the
Partnership's real estate held for sale account balance was $862,288 and
$1,323,986, respectively. The decrease was due to the disposition of one of the
properties through sale in the first quarter of 2004. The Partnership sold one
of the two remaining properties in October, 2004.
Cash is continually being generated from interest earnings, late charges,
prepayment penalties, amortization of principal, proceeds from sale of real
estate held and loan pay-offs. Currently, this amount exceeds Partnership
expenses and earnings and partner liquidation requirements. As loan
opportunities become available, excess cash and available funds are invested in
new loans.
Allowance for Losses.
The general partners regularly review the loan portfolio, examining the
status of delinquencies, the underlying collateral securing these loans, real
estate held for sale expenses, sales activities, and borrower's payment records
and other data relating to the loan portfolio. Data on the local real estate
market and on the national and local economy are studied. Based upon this
information and more, the allowance for loan losses is increased or decreased.
Borrower foreclosures are a normal aspect of Partnership operations. The
Partnership is not a credit based lender and hence while it reviews the credit
history and income of borrowers, and if applicable, the income from income
producing properties, the general partners expect that we will on occasion take
back real estate security. During 2001, the Northern California real estate
market slowed and the national and local economies slipped into recession.
During 2002 and 2003 the economy has stabilized. During 2004 the economy and the
Northern California real estate market has strengthened. At September 30, 2004
the Partnership had one loan past due 90 days or more totaling $144,349. This
loan past due 90 days or more is also past maturity. In addition to the one
90-day or more delinquent loan the Partnership has two loans which are making
current monthly payments but are past maturity. These past maturity loans have a
principal balance of $281,578. Total past maturity loans are $425,927. In
addition to the above, the Partnership considers one loan to be impaired, which
means that interest is no longer being accrued and that payments received will
be applied to reduce the outstanding loan balances, including accrued interest
and advances. The principal balance of the impaired loan is $96,716. The
Partnership does not have any filed notices of default, which would begin the
foreclosure process at September 30, 2004. The Partnership entered into workout
agreements with borrowers who are past maturity or delinquent in their regular
payments. The Partnership had workout agreements on two loans totaling $175,927
(3.29% of the secured loan portfolio) as of September 30, 2004. These borrowers
in workout agreements are included in the delinquent and/or past matured loans.
Typically, a workout agreement allows the borrower to extend the maturity date
of the balloon payment and/or allows the borrower to make current monthly
payments while deferring for periods of time, past due payments, or allows time
to pay the loan in full. These workout agreements and foreclosures generally
exist within our loan portfolio to greater or lesser degrees, depending
primarily on the health of the economy. The number of foreclosures and workout
agreements will rise during difficult times and conversely fall during good
economic times. The delinquency and workout agreements existing at September 30,
2004, in management's opinion, do not have a material effect on our results of
operations or liquidity. These workouts and delinquency have been considered
when management arrived at an appropriate allowance for loan losses and based on
our experience, are reflective of our loan marketplace segment. Because of the
number of variables involved, the magnitude of possible swings and the general
partners' inability to control many of these factors, actual results may and do
sometimes differ significantly from estimates made by the general partners.
14
As of September 30, 2004 and 2003, the Partnership's real estate held for
sale balance was $862,288 and $1,312,702, respectively. The decrease in real
estate held for sale balance by $450,414 as of September 30, 2004 is due to the
sale of one of the properties. During 2002, the Partnership took back one piece
of real estate collateral through foreclosure. The Partnership, together with
other partnerships, all affiliates of the general partners, owned the property.
The property was a 4 unit condominium complex. During the year 2003, renovation
work was completed and the property was placed on the market for sale. A
purchase offer was accepted and the escrow closed in March, 2004. The
Partnership sustained a loss of approximately $13,702, which had been
anticipated and reserved. The Partnership has not taken back any collateral
security from borrowers in 2004. In October 2004, the Partnership sold another
real estate held for sale property at a loss of approximately $778,500 which was
previously fully reserved for. The Partnership's real estate held for sale
inventory was reduced to one property. This remaining property is an undeveloped
piece of land. The land is located in East Palo Alto, California. The land is
owned with two other affiliated partnerships. Currently, the Partnership is not
in contract or negotiating with any interested parties for the sale of this
property. The general partners believe that the property is worth considerably
more than its net investment.
Management provided $32,113 and $16,813 as provision for loan losses for
the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2004. The amount of the
provision for loan losses is to build up the allowance for potential losses as
the Partnership's loan portfolio has increased. During 2002, Redwood Mortgage
Corp. provided an indemnity to the Partnership whereby it has agreed to
indemnify and hold harmless, the Partnership from any expenses or losses
incurred by the Partnership by reason of the Partnership's inability to collect
all principal due under certain loans after the Partnership has exhausted all
reserves set aside for these loans and all remedies available to it including
foreclosure of the underlying collateral. Therefore, these loans are not
considered impaired solely because the value of the collateral securing the
loans is less than the principal due to the Partnership.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW - For the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003.
Loan Portfolio
The Partnership's loan portfolio consists primarily of short-term (one to
five years), fixed rate loans secured by real estate. As of September 30, 2004
and 2003 the Partnership's loans secured by real property collateral in the six
San Francisco Bay Area counties (San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Alameda,
Contra Costa, and Marin) represented $4,760,387 (89%) and $4,349,833 (90%) of
the outstanding loan portfolio. The remainder of the portfolio represented loans
secured by real estate located primarily in Northern California.
As of September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003, the Partnership held 15
and 17 loans respectively in the following categories:

Smallest Loan 31,578 0.59%
Average Loan-to-Value, based upon appraisals
and senior liens at date of inception of loan 77.68%
The Partnership's largest loan in the principal amount of $2,103,300
represents 39.29% of outstanding secured loans and 32.48% of Partnership assets.
Larger loans sometimes increase above 10% of the secured loan portfolio or
Partnership assets as these amounts decrease due to limited partner withdrawals
and loan payoffs and due to restructuring of existing loans. In this instance
all of these factors affected this loan. Chief among them was a restructure of
two loans with outstanding principal plus accrued interest, late fees and
advances into one new loan with an outstanding balance of $2,103,300.
The Partnership has a substantial amount of its loan receivable balance
from one borrower at September 30, 2004 and 2003. The borrower accounted for
approximately 57% and 64% of the loan balances at such dates. This borrower has
two loans secured by separate properties in the principal amounts of $2,103,300
and $956,800 as of September 30, 2004. Neither of these loans is included as
either past due or 90 days of more past maturity.
Borrower Liquidity and Capital Resources.
The Partnership relies upon loan payoffs and borrowers' mortgage payments
for the source of funds for loans. Recently, mortgage interest rates have
decreased somewhat from those available at the inception of the Partnership. If
interest rates were to increase substantially, the yield of the Partnership's
loans may provide lower yields than other comparable debt-related investments.
Additionally, since the Partnership has made primarily fixed rate loans, if
interest rates were to rise, the likely result would be a slower prepayment rate
for the Partnership. This could cause a lower degree of liquidity as well as a
slowdown in the ability of the Partnership to invest in loans at the then
current interest rates. Conversely, in the event interest rates were to decline,
the Partnership could see significant borrower prepayments, which, if the
Partnership can only obtain the then existing lower rates of interest may cause
a dilution of the Partnership's yield on loans, thereby lowering the
Partnership's overall yield to the limited partners. Cash is constantly being
generated from borrower interest payments, late charges, amortization of loan
principal and loan payoffs. Currently, cash flow exceeds Partnership expenses,
earnings and limited partner capital payout requirements. Excess cash flow will
be invested in new loan opportunities, when available, and in other Partnership
business.
16
At the time of subscription to the Partnership, limited partners made a
decision to either take distributions of earnings monthly, quarterly or annually
or to compound earnings in their capital account. For the nine and three month
periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, the Partnership made distributions of
earnings to limited partners of $83,945 and $83,254 for the nine month periods
and $28,972 and $27,845 for the three month periods, respectively. Distribution
of earnings to limited partners for the nine and three month periods ended
September 30, 2004 and 2003, to limited partners' capital accounts and not
withdrawn, was $161,550 and $164,691 for the nine month periods and $55,648 and
$54,470 for the three month periods, respectively. As of September 30, 2004 and
2003, limited partners electing to withdraw earnings represented 34% and 35% of
the limited partners' outstanding capital accounts, respectively.
The Partnership also allows the limited partners to withdraw their capital
account subject to certain limitations (see liquidation provisions of
Partnership Agreement). For the nine and three month periods ended September 30,
2004 and 2003, $130,599 and $44,943 for the nine month periods and $27,563 and
$29,409 for the three month periods, respectively, were liquidated subject to
the 10% and/or 8% penalty for early withdrawal. These withdrawals are within the
normally anticipated range that the general partners would expect in their
experience in this and other partnerships. The general partners expect that a
small percentage of limited partners will elect to liquidate their capital
accounts over one year with a 10% and/or 8% early withdrawal penalty. In
originally conceiving the Partnership, the general partners wanted to provide
limited partners needing their capital returned a degree of liquidity.
Generally, limited partners electing to withdraw over one year need to liquidate
investments to raise cash. The demand the Partnership is experiencing in
withdrawals by limited partners electing a one year liquidation program
represents a small percentage of limited partner capital as of September 30,
2004 and 2003, respectively, and is expected by the general partners to commonly
occur at these levels.
Additionally, for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2004
and 2003, $183,488 and $255,966 for the nine month periods and $67,402 and
$70,149 for the three month periods, respectively, were liquidated by limited
partners who have elected a liquidation program over a period of five years or
longer. Once the initial five-year hold period has passed, the general partners
expect to see an increase in liquidations due to the ability of limited partners
to withdraw without penalty. This ability to withdraw after five years by
limited partners has the effect of providing limited partner liquidity. The
general partners expect a portion of the limited partners to take advantage of
this provision. This has the anticipated effect of the Partnership growing,
primarily through reinvestment of earnings in years one through five. The
general partners expect to see increasing numbers of limited partner withdrawals
in years five through eleven, at which time the bulk of those limited partners
who have sought withdrawal will have been liquidated. After year eleven,
liquidation generally subsides and the Partnership capital again tends to
increase.
In some cases in order to satisfy broker dealers and other reporting
requirements, the general partners have valued the limited partners' interest in
the Partnership on a basis which utilizes a per Unit system of calculation,
rather than based upon the investors' capital account. This information has been
reported in this manner in order to allow the Partnership to integrate with
certain software used by the broker dealers and other reporting entities. In
those cases, the Partnership will report to broker dealers, Trust Companies and
others a "reporting" number of Units based upon a $1.00 per Unit calculation.
The number of reporting Units provided will be calculated based upon the limited
partner's capital account value divided by $1.00. Each investor's capital
account balance is set forth periodically on the Partnership account statement
provided to investors. The reporting Units are solely for broker dealers
requiring such information for their software programs and do not reflect actual
Units owned by a limited partner or the limited partners' right or interest in
cash flow or any other economic benefit in the Partnership. Each investor's
capital account balance is set forth periodically on the Partnership account
statement provided to investors. The amount of Partnership earnings each
investor is entitled to receive is determined by the ratio that each investor's
capital account bears to the total amount of all investor capital accounts then
outstanding. The capital account balance of each investor should be included on
any NASD member client account statement in providing a per Unit estimated value
of the client's investment in the Partnership in accordance with NASD Rule 2340.
While the general partners have set an estimated value for the Partnership
Units, such determination may not be representative of the ultimate price
realized by an investor for such Units upon sale. No public trading market
exists for the Partnership's Units and none is likely to develop. Thus, there is
no certainty that the Units can be sold at a price equal to the stated value of
the capital account. Furthermore, the ability of an investor to liquidate his or
her investment is limited subject to certain liquidation rights provided by the
Partnership, which may include early withdrawal penalties (See the section of
the Prospectus entitled "Risk Factors - Purchase of Units is a Long Term
Investment").
17
Current Economic Conditions.
On July 1 and September 1, 2004, the Federal Reserve increased the Federal
Funds Rate by one quarter percentage point (1/4 of one percent) each time to
1.50%. These were the first Federal Funds Rate increase in more than three years
and may indicate that the Federal Reserve has changed its interest rate policy
to increased rates for the foreseeable future. A 1/2 of one percent upward shift
in the Federal Funds Rate will have an almost negligible effect upon the
interest rates the Partnership charges borrowers. If, however, there are future
interest rate increases or if they remain at their current levels, borrowers
will no longer be encouraged through continually declining interest rates to
prepay their debts through refinancing of their obligations. This could mean
that the Partnership may begin experiencing less prepayments by borrowers in its
portfolio. This would reduce the need for the Partnership to replace these
prepaid loans with new loans at lower interest rates. Additionally, the overall
real estate marketplace has become much more active in the last nine months,
particularly in Northern California. The general partners believe that the
average loan portfolio interest rate may decline as some remaining borrowers
that did not refinance their loans to lower interest rates take advantage of the
current low rates of interest available. Based upon existing note rates in the
portfolio and the Partnership's expectations of stable interest rates in the
near future, the Partnership anticipates that the average loan portfolio
interest rate will decline 5 to 20 basis points over the remainder of 2004. From
the general partners' experience, we anticipate that the annualized yield for
2004 will range between 4.75% and 5.00%.
The Partnership makes loans primarily in Northern California. As of
September 30, 2004, approximately 89%, ($4,760,387) of the loans held by the
Partnership were in six San Francisco Bay Area Counties. The remainder of the
loans held was secured primarily by Northern California real estate outside the
San Francisco Bay Area. Like the rest of the nation, the San Francisco Bay Area
has felt the slow down in economic growth and increasing unemployment.
In 2004 the Northern California economy has begun to rebound. Unemployment
is still a concern as job creation is an important aspect of continued economic
expansion. The unemployment rate in California was 5.9% as of September, 2004 as
compared to an unemployment rate of 6.7% in September, 2003. This decrease in
unemployment indicates improvement but is still higher than many economists
would like. The Labor Department reported that the consumer price index rose
0.6% in September, 2004 and for the first nine months of this year, consumer
prices went up at an annual rate of 3.5%, compared with a rate of 1.9% for all
of 2003. In July and September, 2004, the Federal Reserve, after more than three
years of lowering its core interest rates, raised its core interest rate .25% in
each of these months to 1.50%. This marks a dramatic change in policy from
lowering interest rates to a probable policy of raising interest rates over the
foreseeable future. Real estate prices are, in part, directly impacted by the
cost of money. The value of real estate is important to the partnership as real
estate collateral is backing each of our loans. At current interest rates,
demand for residential real estate is at all time highs. DataQuick Information
Systems reported all time high numbers in July and August, 2004 for many tracked
California real estate categories. These included a record $520,000 median sales
price for a San Francisco Bay Area home. In July, 2004 there was a total of
12,862 house and condominium sales in the nine county San Francisco Bay Area
marketplace. In August, 2004 there was 12,674 sales recorded. This was due to
strong demand, increased inventory and continued low mortgage interest rates.
Home affordability in San Francisco, as measured by the affordability index
stood at 11% for September, 2004, down from 12% in August, 2004. Many buyers are
expecting interest rates to rise over the next year so they are doing their
buying now rather than later. Interest rates have cooperated, dropping to an
average of 5.75% as of September 16, 2004 from 5.83% as of September 9, 2004.
For the partnership, stable and rising residential real estate values are good
as the partnership is more collateral dependent than credit dependent in its
loan underwriting decisions. A strong and active real estate marketplace also
serves to produce a substantial number of real estate financing opportunities
which the partnership may compete for.
18
The San Francisco Bay Area commercial real estate marketplace is on the
rebound. Grubb and Ellis reports that downtown San Francisco building sales
through the third quarter of 2004 are tracking to beat $2.4 billion, which was
the all time high set in 2000. Additionally, Grubb and Ellis reports that there
has been five consecutive quarters of positive net rental absorption or 1.1
million square feet over these same five quarters and 670,000 square feet in
2004. Vacancy rates declined to 21.2% or 2.9 percentage points from the peak in
the second quarter of 2002. Grubb and Ellis also reports that asking rents
increased albeit a minimally by 21 cents per square foot. CB Richard Ellis
reports overall vacancy considerably lower at 17.4% and puts absorption at
884,421 square feet for 2004. In any case, the commercial market is improving.
Improved occupancies in commercial properties will assist owners of those
properties in handling their debt payments. Improved occupancies will stabilize
commercial real estate values, which is a benefit to the partnership.
For Partnership loans outstanding as of September 30, 2004, the Partnership
had an average loan to value ratio of 77.68%, computed based on appraised values
and senior liens as of the date the loan was made. This percentage does not
account for any increases or decreases in property values since the date the
loan was made, nor does it include any reductions in principal on senior
indebtedness through amortization of payments after the loan was made. This loan
to value ratio will assist the Partnership in weathering loan delinquencies and
foreclosures should they eventuate.
Part I - Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The following table contains information about the cash held in money
market accounts, and loans held in the Partnership's portfolio as of September

Market Risk.
The Partnership's primary market risk in terms of its profitability is the
exposure to fluctuations in earnings resulting from fluctuations in general
interest rates. The majority of the Partnership's mortgage loans earn interest
at fixed rates. Changes in interest rates may also affect the value of the
Partnership's investment in mortgage loans and the rates at which the
Partnership reinvests funds obtained from loan repayments and new capital
contributions from limited partners. If interest rates increase, the interest
rates the Partnership obtains from reinvested funds will generally increase, but
the value of the Partnership's existing loans at fixed rates will generally tend
to decrease. The risk is mitigated by the fact that the Partnership does not
intend to sell its loan portfolio, rather such loans are held until they are
paid off. If interest rates decrease, the amounts becoming available to the
Partnership for investment due to repayment of Partnership loans may be
reinvested at lower rates than the Partnership had been able to obtain in prior
investments, or than the rates on the repaid loans. In addition, interest rate
decreases may encourage borrowers to refinance their loans with the Partnership
at a time where the Partnership is unable to reinvest in loans of comparable
value.
The Partnership does not hedge or otherwise seek to manage interest rate
risk. The Partnership does not enter into risk sensitive instruments for trading
purposes.

ASSET QUALITY
A consequence of lending activities is that occasionally losses will be
experienced and that the amount of such losses will vary from time to time,
depending upon the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio as affected by
economic conditions and the financial experiences of borrowers. Many of these
factors are beyond the control of the general partners. There is no precise
method of predicting specific losses or amounts that ultimately may be charged
off on particular segments of the loan portfolio, especially in light of the
current economic environment.
The conclusion that a loan may become uncollectible, in whole or in part,
is a matter of judgment. Although institutional lenders are subject to
requirements and regulations that, among other things, require them to perform
ongoing analyses of their portfolios, loan-to-value ratios, reserves, etc., and
to obtain and maintain current information regarding their borrowers and the
securing properties, the Partnership is not subject to these regulations and has
not adopted certain of these practices. Rather, the general partners, in
connection with the periodic closing of the accounting records of the
Partnership and the preparation of the financial statements, determine whether
the allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover potential loan losses of the
Partnership. As of September 30, 2004 the general partners have determined that
the allowance for loan losses and real estate owned of $1,091,792 (16.94% of net
assets) is adequate in amount. Because of the number of variables involved, the
magnitude of the swings possible and the general partners' inability to control
many of these factors, actual results may and do sometimes differ significantly
from estimates made by the general partners. As of September 30, 2004, one loan
was delinquent over 90 days in interest payments amounting to $144,349. Two
loans, including the delinquent loan, totaling $175,927 were subject to workout
agreements, which require the borrower to make regular monthly loan payments.
The Partnership also owns (through previous foreclosure) two properties; a
commercial property and other undeveloped land. The land is located in East Palo
Alto, California. The land is owned with two other affiliated Partnerships. The
Partnership's net investment in the land at September 30, 2004 is $130,215. The
Partnership's net investment of $130,215 is 2% of Partnership assets. The
general partners believe that the property is worth considerably more than its
net investment. There are no ongoing negotiations for the sale of this
property.The second property is a commercial property located in Walnut Creek,
California. This property was sold in October, 2004 at a loss of approximately
$778,500, which will be offset fully against the loss reserve set aside for this
property.
Part I - Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of September 30, 2004, the general partners of the Partnership carried
out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the
general partner's management, including the general partner's President and
Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule
13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, the President and Chief Financial Officer of
the general partner concluded that the Partnership's disclosure controls and
procedures are effective. There were no significant changes in the Partnership's
internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these
controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
