     The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed financial information has
been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X and is not
intended to be indicative of the actual or future results of operations or
financial position of the Partnership.  The unaudited pro forma condensed

occurred on September 30, 1993.  The unaudited pro forma condensed statements
of operations information for the nine months ended September 30, 1993 and the
year ended December 31, 1992 have been presented on the assumption that the
title transfer of the property had occurred and were completed on January 1,
1993 and January 1, 1992, respectively.

      (a)   The pro forma adjustments to and assumptions for the condensed
balance sheet information reflect transactions involved in the transfer of the
Property.  The pro forma adjustments are based on property operations as
recorded under generally accepted accounting principles for the nine months
ended September 30, 1993.

      (b)   The pro forma adjustments to the condensed statements of
operations are applicable to the operations of the assets of the Property
during the nine months ended September 30, 1993 and the year ended December
31, 1993.  The adjustments are based upon the Property's actual operations
computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for the
relevant periods.
