NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

As discussed in further detail in Note 2, on July 1, 1996, the Unitholders of
the Partnership approved the dissolution of the Partnership.  As a result, the
Partnership has changed its basis of accounting for the period subsequent to
June 30, 1996, from the historical cost basis to the liquidation basis.  Under
the liquidation basis of accounting, the Partnerships' assets at June 30, 1996
are reported at estimated net realizable value, and the Partnerships' 
liabilities are presented at estimated settlement amounts.  The net effect of 
the revaluation of the Partnership's assets and liabilities due to the 
adoption of the liquidation basis of accounting was a downward liquidation
adjustment of $870,590, to write-off of unamortized deferred acquisition 
costs which was reported on the statement of Partners' Capital and Net 
Assets in Liquidation for the period ended June 30, 1996.

Investment in Participating Insured Mortgages and Participating Guaranteed Loans
at June 30, 1996 are recorded at net book value which the general partner
believes approximates net realizable value.  For all other assets and
liabilities presented on the liquidation basis of accounting, the general
partner believes that historical cost approximates fair value due to the short-
term nature of such assets and liabilities.  The balance sheet at December 31,
1995, and the accompanying statements of operations, partners' capital and 
cash flows were prepared using the historical cost basis of accounting.

The summarized financial information contained herein is unaudited; however, in
the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring
adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of financial information have
been included. The accompanying financial statements and related notes should be
read in conjunction with the Partnership's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

All capitalized terms used in these Notes to Financial Statements, unless
otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings set forth in the Partnership
Agreement.


NOTE 2 - LIQUIDATION

Two class action lawsuits were filed against the general partner and certain 
of its affiliates in the District Court of Harris County, Texas (the "Texas 
State Court") on January 11, 1996, styled GRIMSHAWE V. NEW YORK LIFE 
INSURANCE CO., ET AL. (No. 96-001188) and SHEA V. NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE 
CO., ET AL. (No. 96-01189) alleging misconduct in connection with the 
original sale of Units in the Partnership, including violation of various 
laws and regulations and claims of continuing fraudulent conduct.  The 
plaintiffs asked for compensatory damages for their lost original investment, 
plus interest, costs (including attorneys' fees), punitive damages, 
disgorgement of any earnings compensation and benefits received by the 
defendants as


                                          8



a result of the alleged actions and other unspecified relief to which
plaintiffs might have been entitled.  These suits were amended and refiled in a
consolidated action (the "Lawsuit") in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of Florida (the "Court") on March 18, 1996.  The plaintiffs
purported to represent claims of all persons (the "Class") who purchased or
otherwise assumed rights and title to investments in certain limited
partnerships, including the Partnership, and other programs created, sponsored,
marketed, sold, operated or managed by the defendants (collectively, the
"Proprietary Partnerships").  On May 3, 1996, the Texas State Court entered an
order dismissing the Texas proceeding without prejudice, and provided that the
dismissal would be with prejudice upon final disposition of the Lawsuit.  The
Partnership was not a defendant in the Lawsuit.

The defendants expressly denied any wrongdoing alleged in the Lawsuit and 
conceded no liability or wrongdoing in connection with the sale of the Units 
or the structure of the program.  Nevertheless, to reduce the burden of 
protracted litigation, the defendants entered into a Stipulation of 
Settlement ("Settlement Agreement") with the plaintiffs because, in their 
opinion, such settlement would (i) provide substantial benefits to the 
Unitholders in a manner consistent with New York Life's position that it had 
previously determined to wind up the Partnership through orderly liquidation 
as the continuation of the business no longer serves the intended objectives 
of either the Unitholders or the defendants and to offer the Unitholders an 
enhancement to the liquidating distribution they would otherwise receive and 
(ii) provide an opportunity to wind up the Partnership on a schedule 
favorable to the Unitholders and resolve the issues raised by the Lawsuit.

In coordination with the proposed settlement, the General Partner solicited 
the approval of the Unitholders for the dissolution of the Partnership.  On
July 1, 1996, the expiration date for the solicitation of such consents, the 
Unitholders of the Partnership approved the dissolution and termination 
of the Partnership.  NYLIFE Realty Inc., as liquidator, has commenced the 
process of winding up the Partnership.

Final approval of the Settlement Agreement was given by the Court on July 3, 
1996.  The Settlement Agreement became final on August 5, 1996, the date on 
which the period for appeal of the Settlement Agreement expired.  Under the 
terms of the Settlement Agreement, each settling Unitholder will receive a 
complete return of his original investment, less distributions received prior 
to the final settlement date; if a settling Unitholder has already received 
such referenced net return prior to or as a result of the payment of the 
liquidation advance provided for under the Settlement, such settling 
Unitholder will also receive the greater of (a) $10 per Unit or (b) $200 in 
addition to the liquidation advance.  NYLIFE Inc., the sole stockholder of the 
General Partner, will deposit funds into a trust account for the benefit of 
the General Partner to ensure the payments to settling Unitholders under the
Settlement Agreement.  The General Partner will act as paying agent for 
NYLIFE Inc.  with respect to the payments.  In exchange for the settlement 
benefits, the settling Unitholders will release any and all claims that the 
settling Unitholders may have against the defendants in connection with any 
and all causes of action related to the Proprietary Partnerships and all 
activities related to the dissolution and liquidation of such partnerships.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS - HIGHLAND OAKS GNMA CERTIFICATE
On February 27, 1996, the Partnership sold the Highlands GNMA for cash in the
amount of $13,105,373.01.  The Highlands GNMA was sold through Utendahl Capital
Partners, an unaffiliated broker dealer, pursuant to which the Highlands
Borrower agreed to pay a portion of any additional taxes determined by the State
of  Florida to be due in connection with the recording of the original loan
documents.  The State of Florida claimed that $136,800 in


                                          10



additional recording taxes were due.  On March 12, 1996, the Partnership settled
the recording tax claim of the State of Florida through a payment made on behalf
of the Partnership in the amount if $64,000 ($53,850 of which was funded by the
General Partner and $10,150 of which was funded by the Original Highlands
Borrower.)  The Partnership has recently received the signed Closing Agreement
settling the claim  from the State of Florida and the letters of credit will be
returned to the Original Highlands Borrower.  The sales price represents
principal in the amount  of  $12,976,812.45, accrued interest in the amount of
$71,462.59 and a premium of $57,097.97.  The Partnership was not charged any
separate fees or commissions in connection with the sale.  The General Partner
of the Partnership decided to sell the Highlands GNMA to take advantage of what
it perceived to be a favorable market in which the Highlands GNMA could be sold
at a premium.  The Partnership distributed the proceeds to the Unitholders on
May 15, 1996.

The sale of the Highlands GNMA, together with the 1995 sale of the Highlands and
the related modification of the Highlands Mortgage, terminated the Partnership's
beneficial interest in the Highlands Mortgage and the Highlands.

NOTE 5 - SURPLUS CASH - SIGNATURE PLACE

A review of the borrower's audited financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 1995 indicated that the Partnership was due surplus cash under the
terms of the Additional Interest Agreement and Supplemental Interest Agreement.
Surplus cash (as defined by HUD) is cash on hand at a particular month end that
exceeds the amount of the required reserve.  As outlined by HUD, the required
reserve generally includes reserves for obligations due within 30 days such as
accrued mortgage interest payable; delinquent mortgage principal payments and
deposits to the  reserve for replacements, if any; accounts payable and accrued
expenses due within 30 days; loans and notes payable due within 30 days;
deficient tax insurance or mortgage insurance premium escrow deposits, if a any;
prepaid rents; and tenant security deposits payable.

During the second quarter of 1996, the Partnership received a distribution of
$72,582 that represents its 50%  allocation under the Additional Interest
Agreement and a distribution of $7,258 that represents its 10% allocation under
the Supplemental Interest Agreement.  This is the first participation the
Partnership has been entitled to from the Signature Place Mortgage since its
inception in 1991.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Partnership's cash and cash equivalents balance at June 30, 1996, consists
of $426,269 of working capital reserves, and cash generated from operations net
of accrued interest.  The Partnership's working capital reserves, are invested
in short-term obligations of the United States government and other cash
equivalents.

During the process of winding up and liquidating the Partnership, the
Partnership will no longer pay quarterly distributions to the Unitholders.
However, upon the sale of the Partnership's assets, payment of the Partnership's
liabilities and provision for contingent liabilities, liquidating distributions
will be paid to the Unitholders.  Liquidating distributions paid to the settling
Unitholders will be subject to the terms of the Settlement Agreement.

The Partnership currently derives its income primarily from its investments in
PIMs, which are long-term, fixed interest rate Government National Mortgage
Association ("GNMA") securities, guaranteed as to the timely payment of
principal and interest by GNMA and backed by the full faith and credit of the
United States Government.  The Partnership's only operating expenses are general
and administrative expenses which include audit and tax return preparation fees,
printing and postage costs for quarterly and annual reports, and reimbursement
to the General Partner for reimbursable expenses incurred in accordance with the
Partnership Agreement.  In addition, the Partnership pays an asset management
fee to the General Partner of .5% annually of the average aggregate amount
invested in the Cross Creek and Signature Place Mortgages.  As discussed in Note
3 to the financial statements, in connection with the 1995 sale of the
Highlands,  the Partnership is no longer entitled to participations in net
cash flow or net appreciation of the Highlands.  Accordingly, effective January
31, 1995, the General Partner decided to forego an asset management fee with
respect to the aggregate amount invested in the Modified Mortgage.  After the
payment of general and administrative expenses, the Partnership distributes all
of its income to the Unitholders on a quarterly basis.

The PIMs and PGLs relating to the Cross Creek and Signature Place Mortgages
entitle the Partnership to participate in the net cash flow of the properties
above cerain levels and in any net appreciation in value upon refinancing.
During the quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership received participations
of $79,840 from Signature Place.  To date the partnership has not received any
such participations from Cross Creek.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30,1996
was $1,084,978 as compared to $2,486,350 for the comparable 1995 period.  This
decrease is primarily a result of the sale of the Highlands property in January
1995 as discussed in the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-K.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


                                          12



SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,1995 The 
Partnership's net income decreased by $925,595 for the six months ended June 
30, 1996 as compared to the corresponding period in 1995. The decrease is 
primarily a result of  the sale of the Highlands GNMA in February 1996 which
resulted in a substantial decrease in interest income from Mortgages for the 
six months ended June 30,1996.

The increase in interest on cash and cash equivalents of $99,713 is due to 
the shift of funds from investments in PIMs to short-term investments as a 
results of the sale of the Highlands GNMA in the first quarter. In addition, 
as a result of sale of the Highlands GNMA, the Partnership recognized a gain 
of $57,098.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,1995 
The decrease in the Partnership's net income for three months ended June 
30,1996 compared to the corresponding 1995 period  is primarily a result of 
the sale of the Highlands GNMA in February 1996, resulted in a substantial 
decrease in interest income from Mortgages which was partially offset by the 
receipt of participations from the Signature Place Mortgage of $79,840.

The increase in interest on cash and cash equivalents of  $57,956 is due to the
shift of funds from investments in PIMs to short-term investments subseqment 
to the sale of the Highlands GNMA in the first quarter.
