The following narrative description is furnished in lieu of the proforma statements: Assuming the Partnership had sold the property on January 1, 1995, the Partnership's Investments in Real Estate would have been reduced by $827,328 and its Current Assets (cash) would have been increased by approximately $315,000 and Partner's Capital would have decreased by $512,328 t December 31, 1995 and September 30, 1996.
