The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all normal and reoccurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of financial position as of May 31, 1997 and the results of operations for the three and six months ended May 31, 1997 and 1996, cash flows for the six months ended May 31, 1997 and 1996, and the statement of partners' capital (deficit) for the six months ended May 31, 1997. Results of operations for the periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in order to conform to the current year's presentation. No significant events have occurred subsequent to fiscal year 1996, and no material contingencies exist, which would require disclosure in this interim report per Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01, Paragraph (a)(5). Part I, Item 2 . Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity and Capital Resources At May 31, 1997, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of $921,381, which were invested in unaffiliated money market funds, compared with $1,084,483 at November 30, 1996. The decrease reflects cash distributions to Partners, mortgage principal payments, and additions to real estate exceeding cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of fiscal 1997. The Partnership also maintains a restricted cash balance, which totaled $82,982 at May 31, 1997, representing real estate tax escrows required under the terms of the Autumn Heights and Skyline Village loans. The Partnership expects sufficient cash to be generated from operations to meet its current operating expenses. During the quarter, the General Partners continued to perform various improvements at the properties, including roof repairs at Ponte Vedra Beach Village II. These roof repairs are expected to be completed during the third quarter of fiscal 1997 and are anticipated to cost approximately $200,000. Roof repairs are also required on five of the buildings at Autumn Heights. These repairs commenced in July and are anticipated to cost approximately $100,000. Other assets decreased from $173,569 at November 30, 1996 to $145,787 at May 31, 1997. The decrease is primarily attributable to the continued amortization of mortgage fees and the timing of payment of real estate taxes. The General Partners declared a cash distribution of $1.50 per Unit for the quarter ended May 31, 1997 which will be paid to investors on or about July 15, 1997. The distribution level was reduced beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 from $2.50 per Unit in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996 due to the need to maintain adequate cash reserves to fund required roof repairs at two of the Partnership's properties (see above). The level of future distributions will be evaluated on a quarterly basis and will depend on the Partnership's operating results and future cash needs. Results of Operations Partnership operations for the three and six months ended May 31, 1997 resulted in net income of $2,033 and $20,556, respectively, compared with $137,859 and $250,583, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 1996. The decrease in net income for both periods is primarily attributable to an increase in property operating expenses and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in rental income. Net cash provided by operating activities was $494,864 for the six months ended May 31, 1997, down from $675,207 for the corresponding period in fiscal 1996, reflecting the decrease in net income. Rental income for the three and six months ended May 31, 1997 was $908,287 and $1,796,748, respectively, compared with $912,837 and $1,836,783, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 1996. The decreases are due to lower average occupancy at the Autumn Heights and Ponte Vedra Beach Village II properties, and a reduction in rental rates at Skyline Village, reflecting competitive market conditions in all three markets where the properties are located. Interest and other income totaled $9,549 and $21,101, respectively, for the three and six months ended May 31, 1997, compared to $22,686 and $35,359, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 1996. The decrease for both periods is primarily attributable to a decrease in the cash balances maintained by the Partnership. Property operating expenses for the three and six months ended May 31, 1997 totaled $460,377 and $880,554, respectively, compared to $347,525 and $713,507, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 1996. The increases in both periods reflect higher repairs and maintenance expense at all three of the Partnership's properties. General and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended May 31, 1997 were $41,168 and $88,631, respectively, compared to $34,474 and $79,136, respectively, for the same periods in 1996. During the 1997 periods, certain expenses incurred by an unaffiliated third party service provider in servicing the Partnership, which were voluntarily absorbed by affiliates of RI 3-4 Real Estate Services, Inc. in prior periods, were reimbursed to RI 3-4 Real Estate Services, Inc. and its affiliates. During the first six months of fiscal 1997 and 1996, average occupancy levels at each of the properties were as follows: Property 1997 1996 Autumn Heights 91% 97% Ponte Vedra Beach Village II 93% 96% Skyline Village 95% 94% Part II Other Information 	 Items 1-5 Not applicable.
