                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT


RIVERVIEW TOWER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP


We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Riverview Tower Limited
Partnership, A Limited Partnership, as of December 31, 1994, and the related
statements of partners' equity, operations and changes in cash position for the
year then ended.  These financial statements and the schedules referred to
below are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on
our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating overall financial statement
presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Riverview Tower Limited Part-
nership, A Limited Partnership, as at December 31, 1994, and the results of its
Operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.  The information contained in Exhibits E and F is
presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the
basic financial statements.  This information has been subjected to the audit-
ing procedures applied in our audit of the basic financial statements and, in
our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

                          Independent Auditors' Report
                          ----------------------------

                We have audited the accompanying statement of assets,
liabilities and partners' deficit income tax basis of The Riverview Tower
Limited Partnership as of December 31, 1995, and the related statements of
revenues and expenses, partners' deficit, and cash flows - income tax
basis for the year then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

                We conducted our audit in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for
our opinion.

                As described in the notes to the financial statements,
the Partnership's policy is to prepare its financial statements on the
accounting basis used for income tax purposes, which is a comprehensive
basis of accounting other than generally accepted accounting principles.

                In our opinion, the financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the assets, liabilities,
and partners' deficit of The Riverview Tower Limited Partnership as of
December 31, 1995, and its revenues and expenses, partners' deficit, and
cash flows for the year then ended, on the basis of accounting described
in the Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

                    THE RIVERVIEW TOWER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     A. Purpose -- The Riverview Tower Limited Partnership is an Ohio limited
        partnership formed for the purpose of owning, leasing and operating
        an office building in Toledo, Ohio. The Partnership commenced
        operations on July 26, 1985.

     B. Basis of Accounting - The Partnership's policy is to prepare its
        financial statements on the basis of accounting  used for income tax
        purposes.  This basis  of  accounting  differs  from  generally
        accepted   accounting principles primarily as follows:

          Assets will be depreciated over a time period shorter than
          their estimated useful lives.

     C. Concentration Account - An affiliate of the general partner
        utilizes a concentration account for the various properties it
        manages. In this way excess cash for all properties may be
        invested on a short term basis and cash disbursements made on
        behalf of each separate partnership are funded when necessary.

     D. Property and Improvements - The building and related
        improvements are being depreciated on straight-line or
        accelerated cost recovery methods over periods dictated by
        statutory requirements.

     E. Income Taxes - No provision for income taxes is necessary
        because any income or loss is includible in the tax returns of
        the partners.

     F. Adjustments Necessary to Conform with Generally Accepted Accounting
        Principles (GAAP) - As stated in the auditors' report and previously 
        in Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements, the Partnership
        has used various depreciation and amortization methods which do not
        conform to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Had the
        Partnership conformed to GAAP the accumulated depreciation and
        amortization and partners' capital accounts would be reflected as
        follows:

                    THE RIVERVIEW TOWER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


NOTE 2. MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE

        The land and building owned by the Partnership are encumbered by
        mortgages securing two notes; one to New York Life Insurance
        (due in 1999) and the other to Realty Refund Trust (due in
        1996). One of the limited partners of the Partnership is also
        Chairman of the Board of Realty Refund Trust.

        The Partnership has a fixed monthly principal and interest
        payment of $74,195 on the first mortgage plus an interest only
        payment on the Realty Refund note at 10% per annum. In addition,
        the Partnership has paid $850,000 against the outstanding amount
        due on January 1, 1996.

        Principal payments on the mortgage note payable as of December 31, 
        1995 are as follows:
 
 
                 
          1996            $ 7,854,792
          1997                756,263
          1998                803,308
          1999                999,417
                          -----------
            Total         $10,413,780
                          ===========





        The fair value of the Partnership's long-term debt is estimated
        based on borrowing rates currently available to the partnership
        for bank loans with similar terms and maturities and
        approximates the carrying value.

NOTE 3. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTY

        The property is managed by the Mid-America Management
        Corporation. Accounts receivable in the amount of $41,405 are
        due from the management company.

        The Partnership is obligated to pay a management fee to
        Mid-America Management Corporation for certain services with
        respect to the operations of the Partnership.  The amount of the
        fee included in expense for the year ended December 31, 1995 is
        $120,000.

        taxes and operating costs.
