ITEM 4. THE SOLICITATION OR RECOMMENDATION. Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows: According to an Amendment No. 2 to Schedule TO filed on August 16, 2000, certain affiliates of MacKenzie Patterson, Inc. have increased the purchase price of their outstanding tender offer from $18.00 to $20.25 per Unit and extended the expiration date of their tender offer to September 1, 2000. This purchase price is currently higher than the price offered in the Offer conducted by the Purchaser. For the reasons set forth in the Partnership's original Schedule 14D-9 with respect to the Offer, the Partnership and its General Partners are making no recommendation as to whether Unit Holders should tender their Units in response to an offer. However, a Unit Holder who wishes to tender should do so in the offer that provides the highest cash price.
