     The Partnership completed its offering of limited partnership units in
December 1988.  A total of 83,291 units were sold.  The Partnership received
proceeds of $74,895,253, net of selling commissions and other offering costs,
which have been used for investment in real estate, for the payment of related
acquisition costs and for working capital reserves.  The Partnership made nine
real estate investments, all of which have been sold: two in 1994, two in 1997,
three in 1999, one in 2000 and one in 2001.  As a result of the sales, capital
of $63,468,312 has been returned to the limited partners through March 31, 2001.
The adjusted capital contribution was reduced to $952 from $1,000 per unit in
1994, to $924 in 1995, to $616 in 1997, to $367 in 1999 and to $229 in 2000.

     At March 31, 2001, the Partnership had $10,978,878 in cash and cash
equivalents, of which $427,752 was used for operating cash distributions to
partners on April 26, 2001.  Also on that date, the Partnership made two capital
distributions: one consisting of original working capital previously held in
reserves in the amount of $1,562,332 and the other consisting of the  Santa Rita
Plaza sales proceeds in the amount of $9,373,992. The sale distribution also
includes the note receivable and accrued interest proceeds received subsequent
to quarter end in the amount of $1,338,797.  The remainder of cash and cash
equivalents is being retained primarily as a reserve in the event of any claims
for breach of representations or warranties in connection with the sale of the
Santa Rita Plaza property on March 27, 2001 and as an additional reserve in
connection with the liquidation of the Partnership. Distributions of cash from
operations and operational cash previously held in reserves relating to the
first quarter of 2001 were made at an annualized rate of 9% on the adjusted
capital contribution of $229.00.  Distributions of cash from operations relating
to the first quarter of 2000 were made at an annualized rate of 5.5% on the
weighted average adjusted capital contribution of $312.52.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

     Form of Real Estate Investment

     Santa Rita Plaza was a wholly-owned property.  Santa Rita Plaza was sold on
March 27, 2001.

     Operating Factors

     As mentioned above, the Santa Rita Plaza property was sold on March 27,
2001 and the Partnership recognized a gain of $1,632,163.  At the time of the
sale, Santa Rita Plaza was 100% occupied as it was at March 31, 2000.

     Investment Activity

     Interest on cash equivalents for the first quarter of 2001 decreased
approximately $86,000 compared to the same period of 2000.  This was primarily
due to higher average investment balances in 2000 as a result of the temporary
investment of Waters Landing sale proceeds prior to distributions in the first
quarter of 2000.

     Real estate operations for the first quarters of 2001 and 2000 were
($1,862) and $279,343, respectively.  The decrease is primarily due to the sale
of Santa Rita Plaza which resulted in the reversal of previously recognized
straight-line rental income of approximately $300,000.

Portfolio Expenses

     The Partnership management fee is 9% of distributable cash flow from
operations after any increase or decrease in working capital reserves as
determined by the managing general partner.  General and administrative expenses
consist primarily of real estate appraisal, printing, legal, accounting and
investor servicing fees.

     The Partnership management fee increased between the first quarter of 2001
and 2000 due to higher distributions in 2001.  General and administrative
expenses decreased approximately $12,000 between the first quarter of 2001 and
2000 due to a decrease in legal fees, appraisal fees and lower taxes.
