            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) - (CONTINUED)



     Note 5.  Property in Maumelle, Arkansas:
              ------------------------------ 

     On January 10, 1995 and March 7, 1995, the Partnership executed lease
     agreements with Maybelline Products Co., Inc. ("Maybelline") and A-Pak
     Packaging, Inc. ("A-Pak"), respectively, to occupy 100% of the leasable
     space at the Partnership's distribution facility in Maumelle, Arkansas.
     The Maybelline lease was effective as of February 1, 1995 with the lease
     term ending December 31, 1996 and provides for monthly rentals of $13,000.
     The A-Pak lease is effective on March 20, 1995, with the lease term
     expiring on February 28, 1998, and provides for monthly rentals of $11,333
     in 1995 and increasing by $1,667 in each lease year thereafter.  The
     property had previously been leased to Family Dollar Stores, Inc. which
     occupied the property until March 31, 1994.  Under the Maybelline and A-Pak
     leases, the tenants are obligated to reimburse the Partnership for the cost
     of maintenance and insurance.


     Note 6.  Prepayment of Mortgage Notes Payable:
              ------------------------------------ 

     On February 23, 1995, the Partnership paid off three mortgage loans on
     properties formerly leased to New Valley Corporation ("New Valley") in
     Moorestown, New Jersey and Reno, Nevada and a property in Bridgeton,
     Missouri, currently leased to New Valley.  The aggregate prepayment made by
     the Partnership was $852,003.  As a result of the prepayment, the
     Partnership's annual debt service will decrease by $359,215.  The loans had
     been scheduled to fully amortize between April 1997 and May 1998.


     Note 7.  Property in Moorestown, New Jersey:
              ---------------------------------- 

     On April 7, 1995, the Partnership and Corporate Property Associates 3
     ("CPA(R):3"), an affiliate, which own the Moorestown, New Jersey property
     as tenants-in-common, entered into a net lease for the property with Sports
     & Recreation, Inc. ("Sports & Recreation") which intends to convert the
     facility into a retail store.

     The lease provides for a feasibility period through September 30, 1995
     which is extendable through December 31, 1995 followed by an initial term
     of 16 years.  If, during the feasibility period, Sports & Recreation is
     unable to meet conditions necessary to retrofit the facility to its
     specifications or obtain certain approvals from the municipal authorities,
     it has the right to terminate the lease.  During the feasibility period,
     the Partnership and CPA(R):3 will reimburse Sports & Recreation for certain
     planning costs up to a maximum of $24,000.  Sports & Recreation will incur
     all costs of retrofitting the facility; however, the Partnership and
     CPA(R):3 will reimburse Sports & Recreation for the cost of removing and
     disposing of the roof and HVAC system, replacement of the HVAC system and
     installing a new roof and drainage system.

     During the 16 year lease term, which is scheduled to commence at the end of
     the feasibility period, annual rentals will initially be $308,750 (of which
     the Partnership's share is approximately $121,000) during the first five
     lease years with stated increases every five years thereafter.  There is no
     assurance that the lease will extend beyond the feasibility period.


     Note 8.  Resolution of Litigation:
              ------------------------ 

     In April 1995, the Partnership received notification that a favorable
     judgment had been rendered on March 15, 1995 by the Court of Common Pleas
     of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania in connection with certain litigation
     commenced by Ascott Investment Company ("Ascott") against the Partnership
     and General Refactories Company ("GRX").  Ascott had sought damages
     relating to the Partnership's sale of a property to GRX in 1986.  The Court
     ruled that the Partnership and GRX had acted in good faith in executing the
     transfer of the property and dismissed all of Ascott's complaints.

                Item 2. - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF OPERATIONS
                -----------------------------------------------



        Net income for the three-month period ended March 31, 1995 decreased by
     $101,000 as compared with the three-month period ended March 31, 1994.  The
     decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in lease revenues and an
     increase in property expenses.  The decrease in lease revenues is due to
     termination of the lease with New Valley Corporation ("New Valley") on
     December 31, 1994 for a property in Reno, Nevada and lower revenues on the
     Maumelle, Arkansas distribution facility property in 1995 as compared with
     1994.  The Maumelle property had been occupied until March 1994 by Family
     Dollar Stores, Inc. and contributed $78,000 of lease revenues during the
     quarter ended March 31, 1994; however, the property was vacant until new
     leases were executed with Maybelline Products Co., Inc. and A-Pak
     Packaging, Inc. during the quarter ended March 31, 1995.  The increase in
     property expense is due to the carrying costs incurred during the current
     period for the Reno and Maumelle properties.  Interest expense decreased as
     the result of paying off three mortgage loans in February 1995.  Although
     the Partnership benefited from other income of $50,000 from a nonrecurring
     source in 1995, the Partnership's results of operations for the period
     ended March 31, 1994 also reflected $46,000 of income from nonrecurring
     items.

        There has been no material change in the Partnership's financial
     condition since December 31, 1994 and Management believes that the current
     cash balance of $3,238,000 and cash provided from operating activities will
     be sufficient to meet the Partnership's current cash requirements which
     currently consist solely of paying quarterly distributions and meeting
     scheduled debt service obligations.  During the current quarter, the
     Partnership satisfied its obligations on three mortgage loans by using
     $852,003 of its cash reserves to prepay three loans.  As a result of these
     prepayments, annual debt service will decrease by $359,000.  To the extent
     that Sports & Recreation, Inc. is able to meet the conditions necessary to
     retrofit the Moorestown property to use as a retail store, the Partnership
     will be committed to pay its share of costs for rehabilitation of the roof
     and heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems.  Although such costs
     are in the process of being determined, Management believes that such costs
     can be funded from existing cash reserves, if necessary.  As a result of
     the terminations of the New Valley leases for the Reno and Moorestown
     properties in December 1994 and May 1993, respectively, pursuant to New
     Valley's petition of voluntary bankruptcy, the Partnership anticipates that
     it will receive a payment of its claim against New Valley; however, the
     amount of such payment has not yet been determined.

                                    PART II
                                    -------



     Item 1. - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
     ---------------------------

               During 1982, one of Registrant's tenants, GRX Refractories
          Company ("GRX"), indicated that it desired to terminate its lease and
          relocate its headquarters from Registrant's building in Bala Cynwyd,
          Pennsylvania, to another location in order to consolidate its
          operations.  For this and other reasons, the General Partners decided
          to seek a buyer for the building.  Registrant had previously held only
          a leasehold interest in the land and building subleased to GRX.  To
          better market the building, Registrant purchased the underlying land
          and building in November 1983 with funds from its working capital
          reserve.  On March 22, 1984, Registrant signed a Purchase and Sale
          Agreement to sell the GRX land and building (the "GRX Property") to
          Ascott Investment Corporation ("Ascott").

               On March 27, 1984, GRX commenced litigation against Registrant,
          the Corporate General Partner and Ascott.  GRX, in its Amended
          Complaint filed on August 22, 1984, requested, among other relief,
          that the proposed sale of the GRX Property be enjoined, that the
          sublease between GRX and Registrant be cancelled, and that any profits
          from Registrant's sale of the building (assuming the sale is
          consummated) be split equally between GRX and Registrant.  On July 23,
          1985, the Registrant, the Corporate General Partner and GRX entered
          into a settlement agreement in which GRX agreed to dismiss this
          litigation.

               On December 31, 1984, Ascott commenced litigation against
          Registrant, the Corporate General Partner and GRX alleging in its
          Complaint, among other things, that the Registrant had breached its
          duty of good faith and fair dealing with respect to the proposed
          purchase and that the Registrant engaged in a conspiracy with the
          other defendants to enrich themselves at the expense of Ascott.
          Ascott was seeking $1,000,000 in compensatory damages and punitive
          damages in an unspecified amount.

               On March 15, 1995, the Court of Common Pleas of Montgomery County
          entered a ruling in favor of Registrant and the other defendants with
          regard to all of Ascott's claims.  Ascott has the right to appeal this
          ruling but the Registrant does not expect such an appeal or if an
          appeal is filed, for such an appeal to be successful.  Furthermore,
          the above mentioned settlement agreement with GRX provides that the
          Registrant, upon the satisfaction by it of certain conditions, will be
          indemnified and held harmless by GRX for any damages and expenses as
          may ever be adjudicated in favor of Ascott in this suit.
