                       (A California Limited Partnership)
                       MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                 OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
                                  JUNE 30, 1998


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of June 30, 1998, the  Partnership has current assets of $344,323 and current
liabilities of $186,967 creating an operating reserve of $157,356. Distributions
to the limited partners have been suspended to replenish the operating reserves.

The  Partnership  expended for renovations  and  replacements  $42,580 (of which
$13,9670 was capitalized) during the period covered by this report.  Included in
these expenditures was $8.970 for guest room carpet replacement,  $5,000 for new
faces on the restaurant signs and $18,915 for roof repairs.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The  following is a comparison  of operating  results for the six month  periods
ended June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1997.

Total income decreased $55,140 or 3.3%. Hotel room revenues increased $25,987 or
2.0%,  due to an increase in the average room rate from $66.11 in 1997 to $68.77
in 1998 notwithstanding a decrease in guest room occupancy from 72.9% in 1997 to
71.5% in 1998.  The decrease in occupancy was due primarily to reduced  military
activity  at Fort  Irwin in 1998 as  compared  to the same  period in 1997.  The
$80,829 or 25.3%  decrease in  restaurant  revenue was due to a reduction in the
restaurant hours of operations from 16 hours daily to 7 hours daily.

Total  expenditures  decreased $64,238 or 4.0%. This decrease in expenses is due
to reduced  restaurant  costs and to a reduction  in the accrual of  anticipated
partnership liquidation expenses.

FUTURE TRENDS

The  General  Partners  expect  the  hotel's   performance  during  1998  to  be
substantially   unchanged  from  1997.  Changes  in  restaurant   personnel  and
procedures  are  expected to continue  bringing  improved  results.  The General
Partners  expect that these  changes  will result in a reduction in the net loss
experienced by the restaurant operation.

As  discussed  in  more  detail  in  the  following   section   labeled   "Legal
Proceedings,"  the General Partners have agreed to offer the motels for sale and
to present  any offer that equal or exceeds 75% of the  appraised  value for the
approval of the Limited Partners.

In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments
which were  necessary  to a fair  statement  of results for the interim  periods
presented. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

On October 27, 1997 a complaint was filed in the United States  District  Court,
Eastern District of California by the registrant,  the Managing General Partner,
and  four  other  limited  partnerships  (together  with  the  registrant,   the
"Partnerships")  as to which the  Managing  General  Partner  serves as  general
partner (i.e.,  Super 8 Motels,  Ltd.,  Super 8 Motels II, Ltd.,  Super 8 Motels
III, Ltd. and Super 8 Economy  Lodging IV, Ltd.),  as plaintiffs.  The complaint
named as defendants  Everest/Madison  Investors, LLC, Everest Lodging Investors,
LLC, Everest Properties, LLC, Everest Partners, LLC, Everest Properties II, LLC,
Everest  Properties,  Inc., W. Robert  Kohorst,  David I. Lesser,  The Blackacre
Capital Group,  L.P.,  Blackacre Capital  Management  Corp.,  Jeffrey B. Citron,
Ronald J.  Kravit,  and  Stephen P.  Enquist ( the  "Everest  Defendants").  The
factual basis underlying the plaintiffs'  causes of actions  pertained to tender
offers  directed  by  certain  of the  defendants  to  limited  partners  of the
Partnerships,  and to  indications of interest made by certain of the defendants
in purchasing  the property of the  Partnerships.  The  complaint  requested the
following  relief:  (i) a declaration  that each of the  defendants had violated
Sections  13(d),  14(d) and 14(e) of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934 (the
"Exchange Act"), and the rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and
Exchange  Commission  thereunder;   (ii)  a  declaration  that  certain  of  the
defendants  had  violated  Section  15(a) of the  Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder; (iii) an order permanently enjoining the defendants from
(a)  soliciting  tenders  of  or  accepting  for  purchase   securities  of  the
Partnerships,  (b)  exercising  any voting  rights  attendant to the  securities
already acquired, (c) soliciting proxies, and (d) violating Sections 13 or 14 of
the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations  promulgated  thereunder;  (iv) an
order enjoining  certain of the defendants  from violating  Section 15(a) of the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder;  (v) an order
directing  certain of the defendants to offer to each person who sold securities
to such  defendants the right to rescind such sale; and (vi) a declaration  that
the  Partnerships  need not provide to the defendants a list of limited partners
in the Partnerships or any other information  respecting the Partnerships  which
is not publicly available.

On October 28, 1997 a complaint was filed in the Superior  Court of the State of
California,   Sacramento   County  by  Everest   Lodging   Investors,   LLC  and
Everest/Madison  Investors,  LLC, as plaintiffs,  against  Philip B.  Grotewohl,
Grotewohl Management Services,  Inc., Kenneth M. Sanders,  Robert J. Dana, Borel
Associates,  and BWC  Incorporated,  as  defendants,  and the  Partnerships,  as
nominal defendants.  The factual basis underlying the causes of action pertained
to the  receipt  by the  defendants  of  franchise  fees  and  reimbursement  of
expenses,  the  indications of interest made by the plaintiffs in purchasing the
properties of the nominal defendants,  and the alleged refusal of the defendants
to provide  information  required by the terms of the Partnerships'  partnership
agreements and California law. The complaint requested the following relief: (i)
a  declaration  that the action has a proper  derivative  action;  (ii) an order
requiring the defendants to discharge their fiduciary duties to the Partnerships
and to enjoin them from breaching their fiduciary duties;  (iii) disgorgement of
certain profits; (iv) appointment of a receiver; and (v) an award for damages in
an amount to be determined.

                     PART II. OTHER INFORMATION (Continued)

On February 20, 1998, the parties  entered into a settlement  agreement and both
of the above complaints were dismissed.  Pursuant to the terms of the settlement
agreement,  among other things,  the General  Partner has agreed to proceed with
the marketing for sale of the  properties  of the  Partnerships,  if by June 30,
1998, it receives an offer to purchase one or more  properties  for a cash price
equal to 75% or more of the appraised  value.  In addition,  the General Partner
has agreed to submit the offer for approval to the limited  partners as required
by the  partnership  agreements and applicable law. The General Partner has also
agreed that upon the sale of one or more properties,  to distribute promptly the
proceeds of the sale after  payment of payables and retention of reserves to pay
anticipated expenses. The Everest Defendants agreed not to generally solicit the
acquisition of any  additional  units of the  Partnerships  without first filing
necessary  documents with the SEC. Under the terms of the settlement  agreement,
the  Partnerships  have agreed to reimburse the Everest  Defendants  for certain
costs not to exceed  $60,000,  to be allocated among the  Partnerships.  Of this
amount,  the Partnership will pay approximately  $12,000 during the year covered
by this report.
