Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

     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
$74,404,636 has been returned to the limited partners through September 30,
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, to $229 in 2000 and
to $96 in 2001.

     At September 30, 2001, the Partnership had $898,428 in cash and cash
equivalents, which is being retained primarily as a 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. At the time of the first quarter 2001 distribution, the Partnership
also 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 sale proceeds in the amount of $9,373,992. The sale
distribution also includes the note receivable and accrued interest proceeds
received subsequent to the end of the first quarter in the amount of $1,338,797.
There were no operational cash distributions related to the second and third
quarters of 2001 due to the sale of the last remaining asset during the first
quarter of 2001. Distributions of cash from operations relating to the first
quarter of 2000 were made at the annualized rate of 5.50% on the weighted
average adjusted capital contribution of $312.52, while distributions of cash
from operations relating to the second and third quarters of 2000 were made at
the annualized rates of 7.50% and 4%, respectively, on the adjusted capital
contribution of $273. At the time of the operating distribution relating to the
third quarter of 2000, the Partnership also made a capital distribution from
unallocated original working capital reserves in the amount of $3,618,032
($44.00 per limited partnership unit). The rate decrease in the third quarter of
2000 is primarily due to less cash available for distribution due to the timing
of distributions to the Partnership from the last remaining investment.

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 $1,615,012. At the time of the
sale, Santa Rita Plaza was 100% occupied as it was at September 30, 2000.

     Investment Activity

     Interest on cash equivalents for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2001 was $8,481 and $94,856, respectively, compared to $99,691 and $321,965
for the same periods in 2000. The decreases of $91,210 and $227,109 for the
respective three and nine month periods are primarily due to lower average
investment balances in 2001.

     For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2001, real estate
operations were $(8,889) and ($42,588), respectively, compared to $94,248 and
$520,459 for the same periods in 2000. The comparative three month decrease is
due to both the sale of Santa Rita Plaza in March 2001 as well as a write-off of
a tenant receivable. The overall nine month decrease is primarily due to the
sale of Santa Rita Plaza in March 2001 which also resulted in the reversal of
previously recognized straight-line rental income of approximately $300,000.

     The Partnership recognized $1,956,543 in revenue during the nine months
ended September 30, 2001, which was attributable to the reversal of deferred
disposition fees, in accordance with the Partnership agreement.

     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 decreased between both the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 2001, due to a decrease in
distributable operational cash flow in 2001. During the respective three and
nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 2001, general and administrative
expenses decreased due to a decrease in legal fees and accounting fees.
