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



        Net income for the three-month period ended March 31, 1995 increased by
     $109,000 as compared with  net income for the three-month period ended
     March 31, 1994.  Although this was partially attributable to $42,000 of
     other income which reflects a concession allowed to the Partnership by a
     vendor and which had been accrued as a payable at December 31, 1994, income
     from on-going operations increased substantially as the result of lower
     interest expense, higher lease revenues and a decrease in property expense.
     The decrease in interest expense was due to the decreasing interest
     component on the Partnership's amortizing fixed rate debt.  This decrease
     was partially offset by an increase in interest on the variable rate loan
     collateralized by the Pre Finish Metals Incorporation ("Pre Finish")
     property; however, increases in interest and loan principal requirements on
     this mortgage loan are passed through as a rent adjustment to Pre Finish.
     Lease revenue increased as a result of the increase from the Pre Finish
     debt service pass through and an increase in rent from Broomfield Tech
     Center Corporation ("Broomfield") which increase was negotiated under the
     1994 lease modification agreement with Broomfield.  The decrease in
     property expense is due to costs incurred in connection with the assessment
     of liquidity alternatives in 1994.  Net income in 1995 also benefited from
     a moderate increase in other interest income as the result of higher
     interest rates on short-term cash investments.

        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 $853,000 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.  Amortization of mortgage principal
     during the current three-month period increased to $349,000 and represented
     payment of 2% of the mortgage principal balance at the beginning of the
     three-month period.  In September 1995, the mortgage loan on the Unisource
     Worldwide, Inc. property will be satisfied and net annual cash flow from
     that property will increase by $80,000.
