               NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION


1)  The unaudited pro forma balance sheet assumes that the Partnership had sold
    Venetian Square Shopping Center ("Venetian") for $7,275,000 and liquidated
    and dissolved the Partnership as of September 30, 1997. The unaudited pro
    forma statement of operations restate the historical operations of the
    Partnership for the year ended September 30, 1997 by eliminating in total
    the operating results of the Partnership. All of the unaudited proforma
    financial information is based on amounts as of September 30, 1997. Final
    results may differ from such information as a result of known and unknown
    contingencies (including, without limitation, Partnership operations
    subsequent to September 30, 1997, customary closing adjustments, and
    potential reimbursement for environmental remediation expenses).

2)  The estimated gain recognized from the sale of Venetian and estimated
    distribution of available funds in liquidation of the Partnership to Limited
    Partners as of September 30, 1997 has been computed as follows:
