                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


1.  ORGANIZATION

     Bass Real Estate Fund-84 (the  Partnership)  was organized on June 1, 1984,
to engage in the acquisition, development, operation, holding and disposition of
income-producing  residential  and commercial  properties.  Limited  partnership
interests were sold at $500 per unit (8,530 units) for a total of $4,265,000.

     Under the terms of the  partnership  agreement,  net income (loss) and cash
distributions  from  operations are to be allocated 99% to the limited  partners
and 1% to the general  partners.  In the event of a sale or  liquidation  of the
partnership   properties,   the  partnership   agreement  provides  for  special
allocations of resultant gains or losses. Due to recurring  financial  statement
losses,  the limited  partners'  interest is zero at March 31, 1995,  and future
losses will be allocated  100% to the general  partners.  In  addition,  limited
partners' deficits resulting from the allocation of cash distributions have been
reallocated  to the general  partners  in order to return the limited  partners'
interest to zero.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The  Partnership  records are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

     In  the  opinion  of  management,   the  accompanying  unaudited  financial
statements   reflect  all  adjustments  (which  include  only  normal  recurring
adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Partnership's financial position as
of March 31, 1996,  results of  operations  for the three months ended March 31,
1996 and 1995, and cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.

3.  RENTAL PROPERTIES

     The rental properties consist of two residential  apartment complexes:  The
Chase on Commonwealth  (The Chase) and Willow Glen Apartments  (formerly  Sunset
Apartments). Both complexes are managed by Marion Bass Properties, Inc.

     The  Chase,  constructed  by  Marion  Bass  Construction  Company  for  the
Partnership,  contains 54 one-bedroom  and 78 two-bedroom  units.  The land upon
which the complex is constructed  was purchased for the Partnership by Marion F.
Bass and was sold to the Partnership at his acquisition cost.

     Willow Glen Apartments (an existing 120-unit residential apartment complex)
was purchased by the Partnership in April 1986.

4.  MORTGAGE LOANS PAYABLE

     Mortgage loans payable  consists of a $2,473,592  mortgage loan outstanding
secured by Willow Glen  (maturing in June 2021) and a $3,223,731  mortgage  loan
outstanding  secured by The Chase  (maturing  in December  2030).  The  mortgage
secured  by The Chase was  obtained  in  November  1995 in  connection  with the
prepayment of the Partnership's mortgage loan payable to an affiliate. The loans
bear interest at 7.5% and 7.6%, respectively, and require total monthly payments
of principal  and  interest of $40,247.  In  addition,  the mortgage  agreements
require the  Partnership  to fund  certain  reserves  for  capital  improvement,
insurance and property tax expenditures.

     Each of the  Partnership's  mortgage  loans is insured  under the  National
Housing Act, as amended. As such, the Partnership's  operations are regulated by
the Federal Housing  Administration  (FHA) of the U.S.

                                       7

Department of Housing and Urban Development.  Under the FHA Regulatory Agreement
entered into under each of the mortgages,  the Partnership is required to comply
with certain reporting and operating requirements, the most significant of which
restricts Partnership  distributions to the amount of "surplus cash" as defined.
As of December 31, 1995,  "surplus cash" available for distribution  amounted to
$112,578.

5.  GENERAL PARTNERS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     The general  partners are Marion F. Bass (The Individual  General  Partner)
and Marion Bass Real Estate Group,  Inc., (The Managing  General  Partner).  The
rental  properties are managed by Marion Bass Properties,  Inc., which is wholly
owned by Marion F. Bass.

     Under the terms of the partnership agreement, the General Partners or their
affiliates  charged  certain fees and  expenses  during the  three-month  period
ending March 31, 1996 as follows:

                Management fee of 5% of gross revenues                   $17,731
                Reimbursed maintenance salaries and benefits              12,339
                Reimbursed  property manager salaries and benefits        27,114
                                                                         $57,184

     The general partners and certain of their affiliates also perform,  without
cost to the Partnership,  day-to-day  investment,  management and administrative
functions of the Partnership.

     The general partners are entitled to receive 1% of all items of partnership
income, gain, loss, deduction, credit and net cash flow from operations.

BASS REAL ESTATE FUND-84

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     At March 31, 1996,  partners' equity had a deficit of $328,808 and cash and
cash reserves amounted to $208,354.  The Partnership had accrued  liabilities of
$60,436 that  consisted of interest  payable to bank of $15,460,  1996  property
taxes of $21,195,  fees due to an affiliate of $6,161, trade accounts payable of
$5,350 and tenant prepaid rent of $12,270.

     Net cash provided by operations  totaled $80,886 for the three months ended
March 31, 1996. This is compared to net cash provided by operating activities of
$77,538  for the  corresponding  period  in  1995.  The  Partnership  had a 7.5%
amortizing  mortgage  note in the  amount of  $2,473,592  and a 7.6%  amortizing
mortgage  note in the amount of $3,223,731  at March 31, 1996.  The  Partnership
made principal payments of $11,774 during the three month period ended March 31,
1996.

     The  1996  operating  plan  and  budget  projects  a  net  cash  flow  from
partnership  activities  (exclusive  of changes in assets  and  liabilities  and
distribution  to  partners) of $101,000 at The Chase and $85,000 at Willow Glen.
The budget assumes that the Partnership will achieve  occupancy rates equivalent
to 96% at The Chase and Willow Glen.  For the three months ended March 31, 1996,
actual combined averaged economic occupancy was 95% and actual combined net cash
flow from partnership activities (exclusive of changes in assets and liabilities
and  distribution  to partners) was $59,347.  Rents are being  increased 5% over
rates charged in 1995 to offset normal increases in operating expenses.  Capital
expenditures  of $22,000 and $44,000 are budgeted for The Chase and Willow Glen,
respectively,  and include  selected  replacement of carpeting and appliances at
both  properties.  As  of  March  31,  1996,  actual  capital  expenditures  and
replacements have totaled $16,482.  Projected cash flows from the two properties
and available cash reserves, restricted and unrestricted, have been used to fund
the replacements. On the basis of these estimates, the Partnership believes that
the cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet cash  requirements  and
rebuild cash reserves,  which at March 31, 1996, totaled $208,354. Under the HUD
Regulatory  Agreement with respect to the properties,  distributions are limited
to "surplus cash" as defined and  calculated at the end of a semi-annual  fiscal
period.  During  1995 The Chase and  Willow  Glen  generated  "surplus  cash" of
$112,578 and was held in reserve accounts for future use.

 Results of Operations

     The  following  discussion  relates to the  Partnership's  operation of The
Chase and Willow Glen  Apartments  for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and
1995.

     Results of  operations  for the three months ended March 31, 1996 reflect a
combined average economic occupancy of 95% compared to 96% for the corresponding
period in 1995. A first  quarter  comparison  of 1996 and 1995  reflects  higher
rental income of $8,505  during 1996 due to rents being  increased 5% over rates
charged in 1995.  Other operating income that consists of  lease-breaking  fees,
late fees, laundry income, vending income and pet fees was $3,811 lower in 1996.
Overall,  total  income for the first  quarter  ended  March 31, 1996 was $5,450
higher than the corresponding period in 1995.

     Operating expenses were $201,092 for the three months ended March 31, 1996,
compared  to  $212,180  for the  corresponding  period in 1995 which  reflects a
variance  of  $11,088.  Fees  and  expenses  to  affiliates  that  consist  of a
management fee of 5% of gross revenues and the reimbursement of complex employee
salaries  and  benefits  were  lower by  $1,825.  Utilities  were lower by $481.
Repairs and  maintenance was $1,198 lower due to reduced turnkey costs (expenses
associated  with  preparing  rental  units  for  occupation).  Depreciation  and
amortization was lower by $12,821.

BASS REAL ESTATE FUND-84

     After  combined  interest  expense of $107,742  and  nonoperating  expenses
(partnership   expenses  and   nonrecurring   replacement   costs)  of  $18,686,
partnership  operations  recognized a net income of $19,607 for the three months
ended  March 31,  1996.  This is  compared  to a net  income  of $9,323  for the
corresponding period in 1995.
