"Purchasers") have extended the expiration date and increased the Offer Price
with respect to their tender offer for units of limited partnership interests
(the "Units") in Secured Income, L.P. (the "Partnership"), pursuant to a letter
to be mailed to unitholders as soon as practicable after the date of this
release. The expiration date has been extended through January 20, 2006 and the
Offer Price has been increased to $38 per Unit.

As of the date hereof, a total of 900 Units have been tendered by unitholders
and not withdrawn. No other Units have been tendered to date. In our experience
it can take anywhere from 14 to 30 days after the Expiration Date for the
General Partner to confirm ownership and transfer the Units.

Unitholders should read the Offer to Purchase and the related materials
carefully because they contain important information. Unitholders will be able
to obtain a free copy of the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO, the Offer to
Purchase, the Supplemental Letter to Unitholders, the Letter of Transmittal, and
other documents that the company has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
