     Note 5.  Property Leased to Agency Management Systems, Inc.:
              -------------------------------------------------- 

     The Partnership and Agency Management Systems, Inc. ("Agency Management"),
     which leases a property in College Station, Texas, and the lease guarantor,
     Continental Casualty Company, agreed to amend the existing lease effective
     February 1, 1995, subject to the consent of the property's mortgage lender.
     In exchange for the Partnership's funding of approximately $105,000 in
     capital improvements at the property, Agency Management's monthly rental
     increased from $59,086 to $61,844.  The amended lease also provides for a
     scheduled rental increase on August 1, 1996 to $64,306 per month through
     October 31, 1998 at which time the lease term expires.  The mortgage lender
     consented to the transaction on April 27, 1995.

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



        Net income for the three-month period ended March 31, 1995 increased by
     $205,000 as compared with net income for the three-month period ended March
     31, 1994.  The increase is due to an increase in earnings of $126,000 from
     hotel operations, other income of $43,000 and a significant decrease in
     property expenses.  The increase in hotel earnings resulted from the
     ability of the hotel's new manager to increase the average daily room rate
     for noncorporate customers with no significant change in occupancy rates,
     which reflected a modest increase to 86%.  Other income reflects a
     concession allowed to the Partnership by a vendor which had been accrued as
     a payable at December 31, 1994.  Property expenses decreased due to costs
     incurred in 1994 in connection with the assessment of liquidity
     alternatives.  Lease revenues were unchanged for the comparable periods.

        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 $2,506,000 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, meeting
     scheduled debt service obligations and funding replacements of furniture,
     fixtures and equipment for the hotel operations.  As noted in the
     Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
     1994, future liquidity may be impacted by the anticipated termination of
     the Hughes Markets, Inc. lease in April 1996 and the Partnership's share of
     annual carrying costs for the property, which, if vacant, is estimated to
     be $467,000.  In addition, the Partnership's share of the upgrade necessary
     to meet the Holiday Inn modernization plan is estimated to amount to
     $300,000 and would need to be invested over the next two years if the
     Partnership decides to retain its current Holiday Inn franchise.
     Management believes that such upgrade will be required even if the hotel
     does not retain its affiliation as a Holiday Inn.  Included in other assets
     on the accompanying balance sheet at March 31, 1995, is a furniture,
     fixture and equipment reserve account of $339,000 which would be available
     to fund any necessary upgrade.  The reserve account is funded by allocating
     5% of hotel revenues to the reserve account.  The Partnership amended its
     lease with Agency Management Systems, Inc. in which the Partnership agreed
     to fund improvements of approximately $105,000 in exchange for two
     scheduled rent increases over the remaining term of the lease.
