              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  General

    The accompanying consolidated financial statements, footnotes and
    discussions should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
    statements, related footnotes and discussions contained in the
    Partnership's Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 1994. Certain
    accounts have been reclassified in order to conform to the current period.

    The financial information contained herein is unaudited. In the opinion of
    management, however, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of
    such financial information have been included. All adjustments are of a
    normal recurring nature, except as described in Notes 4 and 5.

    The results of operations for the six and three months ended June 30, 1995
    and 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for

    the full year.

2.  Transactions with Related Parties

    (a)  An affiliate of NPI, Inc. received reimbursement of administrative
         expenses amounting to $48,000 and $60,000 during the six months
         ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. These reimbursements
         are primarily included in general and administrative expenses.

    (b)  An affiliate of NPI, Inc. is entitled to receive 5% of annual gross
         receipts from certain Partnership properties it manages.  For the
         six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, affiliates of NPI, Inc.
         received $51,000 and $33,000, respectively, which are included in
         operating expenses.

    (c)  During each of the six month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994,
         an affiliate of NPI, Inc. was paid a $16,000 and $10,000 fee
         ($11,000 and $7,000 allocated to the Partnership, respectively)
         relating to successful real estate tax appeals on the Partnership's
         Coral Palm Plaza, Alpha Business Center and Westpoint Business Center
         joint venture properties. These fees are included in operating
         expenses.

    (d)  The general partner received cash distributions totaling $21,000,
         which is equal to 2 percent of interest paid to Promissory Note
         holders, during each of the six month periods ended June 30, 1995
         and 1994.

    (e)  An affiliate of the general partner is entitled to receive a
         partnership management fee in an amount equal to 10 percent of
         cash available for distribution before interest payments to the
         Promissory Note Holders.  For each of the six month periods ended
         June 30, 1995 and 1994, MGP received $55,000.  These fees are
         included in general and administrative expenses.

3.  Restricted Cash

    Restricted cash at June 30, 1995 and 1994 represents cash maintained at
    Sunnymead Towne Center, which is restricted as to its use pursuant to a
    court approved reorganization plan and the modified note agreements.

              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


4.  Mortgage Loans Receivable
    
    The Partnership entered into various agreements with the
    borrowers on two of the Partnership's second mortgage loans

    receivable, which were cross collateralized and in default. 
    The properties are located in Irvine ("Irvine") and Costa
    Mesa, California ("Costa Mesa").  The borrower on the Irvine
    property had terminated payments on the mortgage loan
    receivable in October 1994 and, in January 1995, a court
    appointed receiver was placed on the Irvine property.  As a
    result,  on April 20, 1995, the Partnership acquired the
    Irvine property through deed in lieu of foreclosure and
    satisfied the existing first mortgage encumbering the
    property in the principal amount (including expenses) of
    approximately $1,114,000.  On May 31, 1995, the receiver on
    the Irvine property was dismissed.   The Partnership has
    accrued $115,000 of net rental income due from the receiver
    for the five months ended May 31, 1995.  The Partnership
    commenced operating the property on June 1, 1995.  The
    mortgage loan receivable, net of the previously recorded
    provision for impairment of value of $1,250,000, has been
    reclassified as real estate at June 30, 1995.  The mortgagor
    of the Costa Mesa property assumed $400,000 of the principal
    amount of the debt encumbering the Irvine property resulting
    in an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $1,137,000. 
    The Partnership extended the maturity date of the loan on
    the Costa Mesa property to March 31, 2000.  Monthly payments
    to the Partnership remain the same.  Upon the sale of the
    Costa Mesa property, the Partnership will be entitled to
    contingent interest of 50% of the amount received in excess
    of the current debt.

    On June 20, 1995, the Partnership received a notice from the first
    mortgagee on 1726 M Street, indicating that they expect to foreclose
    on this property shortly.  As a result, the Partnership will lose its
    second mortgage interest in this property.  In 1992, the Partnership
    fully reserved for this contingency.

5.  Loss on Satisfaction of Mortgage Loan Receivable on In-Substance
    Foreclosure Property

    On April 28, 1995, the Partnership received $1,007,000 in full
    satisfaction of its mortgage loan receivable on the Warren, Michigan
    property.  The property had been classified as an in-substance
    foreclosure property.  The Partnership accepted the discounted
    settlement because it determined that, based upon projected future
    operational cash flow of the property, and the cost of litigation, it
    appeared likely that a substantial portion of contractual obligations
    would not be collected.  The Partnership recorded a $978,000 loss on
    satisfaction of a mortgage loan receivable at June 30, 1995.  A
    $1,850,000 provision for doubtful mortgage loan and interest
    receivable had previously been recorded in 1992.

6.  Other Income

    The Partnership accepted a lease buy-out of $800,000 in December 1994
    from a significant tenant that had occupied 27,000 square feet at
    Coral Palm Plaza (and was received in 1995).  During June 1995,

    management re-leased 20,000 square feet of the unoccupied space, on
    similar terms, and recognized a portion of the lease buy-out in the
    amount of $517,000.  The remaining portion has been deferred and is
    currently being amortized as rental income over the remaining eight
    years of the former tenant's lease.  Management is negotiating to
    re-lease the remaining 7,000 square feet.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of
         Financial Condition and Results of Operations.


This item should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements and other Items contained elsewhere in this Report.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of August 1, 1995, Registrant's real estate properties consist of
one apartment complex located in Georgia, four business parks located
in Florida, North Carolina, California and Texas and three shopping
centers located in Kentucky, Georgia and California.  Registrant also
holds joint venture interests in three business parks located in
Minnesota and a shopping center located in Florida.  The properties
are leased to tenants subject to leases with original lease terms
ranging from six months to one year for residential properties and
remaining lease terms of up to seventeen years for commercial
properties.  Registrant receives rental income from its properties and
is responsible for operating expenses, administrative expenses,
capital improvements and debt service payments.  Registrant also holds
two mortgage loans.  As described in Item 1, Note 4, in April 1995,
Registrant acquired the Irvine property by deed in lieu of foreclosure
and satisfied the first mortgage encumbering this property, in the
amount of approximately $1,114,000, including expenses.  As described
in Item 1, Note 5, on April 28, 1995, the loan encumbering
Registrant's in-substance foreclosure property was satisfied at a
discount.  On June 20, 1995, the Partnership received a notice from
the first mortgagee on 1726 M Street, indicating that they expect to
foreclose on this property shortly.  As a result, the Partnership will
lose its second mortgage interest in this property.  In 1992, the
Partnership fully reserved for this contingency.  The mortgagor of the
Costa Mesa property assumed $400,000 of the debt encumbering the
Irvine property.  In addition, Registrant extended the loan on the
Costa Mesa property to March 31, 2000 (see Item 1, Note 4).  All of
Registrant's properties, except Registrant's Valley Apartments,
generated positive cash flow during the six months ended June 30,
1995.  Registrant's Valley Apartments generated negative cash flow for

the six months ended June 30, 1995, due to capital improvements
(discussed below).

Registrant uses working capital reserves from any undistributed cash
flow from operations and proceeds from cash investments as its primary
source of liquidity.  Cash distributions to limited partners remain
suspended while the Managing General Partner evaluates the capital
needs of Registrant.  Promissory Note Holders continue to receive the
required minimum interest payments.  Registrant accepted a lease
buy-out of $800,000 in December 1994 from a significant tenant that
had occupied 27,000 square feet at Coral Palm Plaza (and was received
in 1995).  During June 1995, management re-leased 20,000 square feet
of the unoccupied space, on similar terms, and recognized a portion of
the lease buy-out in the amount of $517,000.  The remaining portion
has been deferred and is currently being amortized as rental income
over the remaining eight years of the former tenant's lease. 
Management is negotiating to re-lease the remaining 7,000 square feet. 
In May 1995, a significant tenant at Registrant's Interrich Plaza
vacated. Management is currently attempting to re-lease the unoccupied
space, which might require significant expenditures for tenant
installations and leasing commissions.  During the three months ended
June 30, 1995, a construction project to replace the breezeways at
Registrant's Valley Apartments was started and completed at a cost of
approximately $260,000.  Registrant has no other plans for material
capital expenditures.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of
         Financial Condition and Results of Operations.


Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)

The level of liquidity based on cash and cash equivalents experienced
a $1,104,000 increase at June 30, 1995, as compared to December 31,
1994.  Registrant's $2,160,000 of net cash provided by operating
activities was partially offset by $462,000 of net cash used in
investing activities, $573,000 of cash distributed to the joint
venture partner (financing activities) and $21,000 of cash distributed
to the general partner (financing activities).  Cash used in investing
activities consisted of $1,114,000 of cash paid to satisfy the first
mortgage encumbering the Medtronics property, which Registrant
acquired through deed in lieu of foreclosure, and $358,000 of cash
used for improvements to real estate, primarily at Registrant's Valley
Apartments.  The cash used in investing activities was partially
offset by a $3,000 decrease in restricted cash and $1,007,000 of cash
received by Registrant in satisfaction, at a discount, of the mortgage
loan encumbering Registrant's in-substance foreclosure property
(investing activities).  All other increases (decreases) in certain

assets and liabilities are the result of the timing of receipt and
payment of various operating activities.  

Working capital reserves are currently being invested in a money
market account or in repurchase agreements secured by United States
Treasury obligations. The Managing General Partner believes that, if
market conditions remain relatively stable, cash flow from operations,
when combined with working capital reserves, will be sufficient to
fund required capital improvements, regular debt service payments and
minimum interest payments on the Promissory Notes in 1995 and the
foreseeable future.  In the event that additional resources are
required, the Managing General Partner will attempt to arrange further
financing or refinancing.

With respect to limited partners, at this time it appears that the
investment objective of capital growth will not be attained and that
investors will not receive a return of all their invested capital and
any portions that are returned will come from cash flow.  The extent
to which invested capital is returned to investors is dependent upon
the performance of Registrant's properties and the markets in which
such properties are located and on the sales price of the properties. 
In this regard, it is anticipated at this time that some of the
properties will continue to be held longer than originally expected. 
The ability to hold and operate these properties is dependent on
Registrant's ability to obtain additional financing, refinancing or
debt restructuring, as required.

As to the Promissory Note Holders and assuming the notes are held to
maturity, at this time it appears that all remaining principal and a
portion of deferred interest will be returned.  The ability of
Registrant to make such payments of principal and interest is
dependent upon the ultimate sales prices, timing of sales of the
remaining properties, net proceeds received by Registrant from sales
and refinancing and overall Partnership operations.  Based on current
projections, the Promissory Note Holders will not receive any payment
of residual interest.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of
         Financial Condition and Results of Operations.


Real Estate Market

The national real estate market has suffered from the effects of the
real estate recession including, but not limited to, a downward trend
in market values of existing properties.  In addition, the bailout of
the savings and loan associations and sales of foreclosed properties

by auction reduced market values and caused a further restriction on
the ability to obtain credit.  As a result, Registrant's ability to
refinance or sell its existing properties may be restricted.  These
factors caused a decline in market property values and serve to reduce
market rental rates and/or sales prices.  Management believes that the
emergence of new institutional purchasers, including real estate
investment trusts and insurance companies should create a more
favorable market value for Registrant's properties in the future. 

Results of Operations

Six Months Ended June 30, 1995 vs. June 30, 1994

Operating results, before minority interest in joint ventures'
operations of $333,000, improved by $102,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1995 as compared to 1994, due to an increase in revenues of
$826,000 which was partially offset by an increase in expenses of
$724,000.  The increase in expenses is due to the $978,000 loss on
satisfaction of a mortgage loan receivable on Registrant's in
substance foreclosure property, Century Center.

Operating results, before minority interest in joint ventures'
operations and excluding the Medtronics property (which was acquired
through deed in lieu of foreclosure on April 20, 1995), declined by
$1,000 due to an increase in expenses of $685,000 which was offset by
an increase in revenues of $684,000.

Rental revenues, before minority interest in joint ventures'
operations and excluding the Medtronics property, increased by
$247,000, for the six months ended June 30, 1995, as compared to 1994,
primarily due to occupancy increases at Registrant's Highland Park
Commerce Center and Center Stage properties, and at Registrant's Alpha
and Westpoint Business Center joint venture properties.  Occupancy
declined at Registrant's Interrich Plaza property.  The decline in
occupancy at Coral Palm Plaza was the result of a major tenant's lease
buy-out in December 1994, which was offset by amortization of the
tenant's termination payment.  Occupancy at Registrant's other
properties remained relatively constant.  In addition, rental rates
increased at Registrant's Valley Apartments and Regency Centre
properties.  Interest and other income increased by $558,000 primarily
due to the recognition of $517,000 of lease termination income at
Registrant's Coral Palm Plaza joint venture property.  Interest income
also increased due to an increase in average working capital reserves
available for investment and increased interest rates.  Interest
income on mortgage loans declined by $121,000 due to the termination
of payment by the borrower on the Medtronics mortgage loan in October
1994.  Registrant acquired the Medtronics property through deed in
lieu of foreclosure in April 1995.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1995 vs. June 30, 1994 (Continued)

Expenses, before minority interest in joint ventures' operations and
excluding the Medtronics property, increased for the six months ended
June 30, 1995, as compared to 1994, due to the loss on satisfaction of
the mortgage loan receivable of $978,000.  Registrant experienced
decreases in operating expenses of $233,000 and depreciation expense
of $66,000 which were only slightly offset by an increase in interest
expense of $12,000.  Operating expenses declined primarily due to
legal fees relating to Registrant's Sunnymead Towne Center and Regency
Center properties during the 1994 period, which were only partially
offset by increased repairs and maintenance expense at Registrant's
Valley Apartments property.  Depreciation expense declined due to the
provision for impairment of value recorded on Registrant's Coral Palm
Plaza joint venture property.  In addition, general and administrative
expenses declined by $6,000 due to lower reimbursed expenses for the
six months ended June 30, 1995, as compared to 1994.  All other
expenses remained relatively constant.

Three Months Ended June 30, 1995 vs. June 30, 1994

Operating results, before minority interest in joint ventures'
operations of $237,000, improved by $522,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1995, as compared to 1994, due to an increase in
revenues of $414,000 and a decrease in expenses of $108,000.

Operating results, before minority interest in joint ventures'
operations and excluding the Medtronics property, improved $419,000
due to an increase in revenues of $272,000 and a decrease in expenses
of $147,000.

Rental revenues, before minority interest in joint ventures'
operations and excluding the Medtronics property, decreased by
$186,000, for the three months ended June 30, 1995, as compared to
1994, due to occupancy decreases at Registrant's Commerce Plaza and
Interrich Plaza properties and an adjustment of estimated escalation
billbacks at Registrant's Regency Centre, Commerce Plaza, and Centre
Stage properties in the prior year comparative period.  Occupancy
increased at Registrant's Centre Stage Shopping Center and at
Registrant's Alpha and Westpoint Business Center joint venture
properties.  The decline in occupancy at Coral Palm Plaza was the
result of a major tenant's lease buy-out in December 1994, which was
offset by amortization of the tenant's termination payment.  Occupancy
at Registrant's other properties remained relatively constant.  In
addition, rental rates increased at Registrant's Valley Apartments and
Regency Centre properties.  Interest and other income increased by

$517,000 due to the recognition of $517,000 of lease termination
income at Registrant's Coral Palm joint venture property.  Interest
income remained constant as the increase in average working capital
reserves available for investment and increased interest rates, were
offset by an overaccrual of interest income in the prior year
comparative period.  Interest income on mortgage loans declined by
$59,000 due the termination of payment by the borrower on the
Medtronics mortgage loan in October 1994.  Registrant acquired the
Medtronics property through deed in lieu of foreclosure in April of
1995.

Results of Operations (Continued)

Three Months Ended June 30, 1995 vs. June 30, 1994 (Continued)

Expenses, before minority interest in joint ventures' operations and
excluding the Medtronics property, decreased for the three months
ended June 30, 1995, as compared to 1994, due to decreases in
operating expenses of $82,000 and depreciation expense of $33,000,
which were slightly offset by a $1,000 increase in interest expense. 
Operating expenses declined primarily due to legal fees relating to
Registrant's Sunnymead Towne Center and Regency Center properties
during the 1994 period, which were only partially offset by increased
repairs and maintenance expense at Registrant's Valley Apartments
property.  Depreciation expense declined due to the provision for
impairment of value recorded on Registrant's Coral Palm Plaza joint

declined by $33,000 primarily due to lower reimbursed expenses during
