MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
There was no rental income, rental-related operating expenses,
depreciation or amortization for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1998 as the Partnership had totally divested itself of all
rental properties by the end of 1995. Interest income decreased $ 8,191
and $ 26,101 for the three months and nine months ended September 30,
1998, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year, due
to the sale of a note receivable in October, 1997.
General and administrative expenses decreased $49,169 and $102,754 for
the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1998, respectively,
compared to the same period in the prior year. Legal and accounting fees
decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 1998. Furthermore,
an adjustment to accrue operating expenses incurred by the General
Partners in prior years as well as a one-time adjustment to accrue
underpaid management fees were reflected in operating expenses for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1997.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Partnership has met its liquidity needs through cash reserves and
operating income. The Partnership currently has no material commitments
and anticipates that these sources will continue to be adequate to meet
the Partnership's future liquidity needs.
