(a) General
-----------

have been   prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements.  These quarterly

necessary to present a fair presentation of the results for such periods.  For
further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes included in
the Partnership's Form 10-K for year ended December 31, 1998.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OF OPERATIONS.
--------------

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
selected financial data and the accompanying financial statements of the
Partnership and notes thereto.  This Report contains forward-looking statements,
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including discussion and analysis of the
financial condition of the Partnership, anticipated capital expenditures
required to complete certain projects, amounts of cash distributions anticipated
to be distributed to Limited Partners in the future and certain other matters.
Readers of this Report should be aware that there are various factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement
made in this Report, which include construction costs which may exceed
estimates, construction delays, lease-up risks, inability to obtain new tenants
upon expiration of existing leases, and the potential need to fund tenant
improvements or other capital expenditures out of operating cash flow.

Results of Operations and Changes in Financial Conditions
---------------------------------------------------------

(a) General
-----------

As of March 31, 1999, the developed properties owned by the Partnership were 97%
occupied and 94% occupied at March 31, 1998.  Gross revenues of the Partnership
were $252,748 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, as compared to $234,159 for
the quarter ended March 31, 1998.  The increase in revenues is attributed
primarily to an increase in the income generated from the joint ventures.

Expenses of the Partnership were $31,432 for 1999, as compared to $18,569 for
1998. The increase in expenses for 1999, as compared to 1998, was primarily due
to increased accounting fees and partnership administration expenses.

Net income of the Partnership was $221,316 for the three months ended March 31,
1999, as compared to $215,590 for the same period in 1998.  The increase in net
income for 1999, from 1998, is due primarily to increased revenues partially
offset by increased expenses as noted above.

Net cash used in operating activities increased from $13,411 in 1998 to $29,896
in 1999. This increase was due primarily to increased expenses. Net cash
provided by investing activities increased for the three months ended March 31,
1999, as compared to the same period in 1998, due primarily to a decrease in
investments in joint ventures. Partnership distributions also decreased slightly
in 1999, as compared to 1998. These changes produced cash and cash equivalents
of $224,353 and $142,567 at March 31, 1998, and 1999, respectively.

The Partnership made cash distributions to Limited Partners holding Class A
Units of $.20 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998.  No cash
distributions were made to Limited Partners holding Class B Units or to the
General Partners.

Year 2000
---------

The Partnership is presently reviewing the potential impact of Year 2000
compliance issues on its information systems and business operations.  A full
assessment of Year 2000 compliance issues was begun in late 1997 and was
completed by March 31, 1999.  Renovations and replacements of equipment have
been and are being made as warranted.  The costs incurred by the Partnership and
its affiliates thus far for renovations and replacements have been immaterial.
Some testing of systems has begun and all testing is expected to be complete by
June 30, 1999.

As to the status of the Partnerships' information technology systems, it is
presently believed that all major systems and software packages with the
exception of the accounting and property management package are Year 2000
compliant.  The Partnerships' affiliated entities are purchasing the upgrade for
the accounting and property management package system; however, it is not slated
to be available until the end of the second quarter of 1999.  At the present
time, it is believed that all non-major information technology systems are Year
2000 compliant.  The cost to upgrade any noncompliant systems is believed to be
immaterial.

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
The Partnership is in the process of confirming with the Partnership's vendors,
including third-party service providers such as banks, that their systems will
be Year 2000 compliant.  Based on the information received thus far, the primary
third-party service providers with which the Partnership has relationships have
confirmed their Year 2000 readiness.

The Partnership relies on computers and operating systems provided by equipment
manufacturers, and also on application software designed for use with its
accounting, property management and investment portfolio tracking.  The
Partnership has preliminary determined that any costs, problems or uncertainties
associated with the potential consequences of Year 2000 issues are not expected
to have a material impact on the future operations or financial condition of the
Partnership.  The Partnership will perform due diligence as to the Year 2000
readiness of each property owned by the Partnership and each property
contemplated for purchase by the Partnership.

The Partnership's reliance on embedded computer systems (i.e. microcontrollers)
is limited to facilities related matters, such as office security systems and
environmental control systems.

The Partnership is currently formulating contingency plans to cover any areas of
concern.  Alternate means of operating the business are being developed in the
unlikely circumstance that the computer and phone systems are rendered
inoperable.  An off-site facility from which the Partnership could operate is
being sought as well as alternate means of communication with key third-party
vendors.  A written plan is being developed for testing and dispensation to each
staff member of the General Partner of the Partnership.

Management believes that the Partnership's risk of Year 2000 problems is
minimal.  In the unlikely event there is a problem, the worst case scenarios
would include the risks that the elevator or security systems within the
Partnership's properties would fail or the key third-party vendors upon which
the Partnership relies would be unable to provide accurate investor information.
In the event that the elevator shuts down,  the Partnership has devised a plan
for each building whereby the tenants will use the stairs until the elevators
are fixed.  In the event that the security system shuts down, the Partnership
has devised a plan for each building to hire temporary on-site security guards.
In the event that a third-party vendor has Year 2000 problems relating to
investor information, the Partnership intends to perform a full system back-up
of all investor information as of December 31, 1999, so that the Partnership
will have accurate hard-copy investor information.

</TABLE>

     Net income and cash distribution to the Partnership decreased in 1999, as
     compared to 1998, due primarily to a timing difference in billing tenants
     for property taxes.  A lease has been signed for the remaining space with
     occupancy expected in April, 1999.

     The increase in management and leasing fees in first quarter 1999, over
     first quarter 1998, was due to an underaccrual of fees in 1998.  The
     increase in operating expenses was due  primarily to increases in
     accounting and administrative fees.  Cash distributions allocated to the
     Partnership remained relatively stable for the three months ended March 31,
     1999 and 1998.

</TABLE>

     A net loss is reflected for first quarter of 1998, as compared to net
     income of $49,492 for the same period in 1999.  The loss in 1998 was due to
     a decrease in rental income and an increase in expenses which were the
     result of a bad debt reserve.  The receivable due from a tenant has been
     turned over to lawyers for collection.  The space is now being leased by
     RMS/Fazoli's, which signed a 13 year lease that commenced in December 1998.

     The Partnership's ownership percentage in the Fund VI - Fund VII Joint
     Venture increased to 43.7% for 1999, as compared to 43.0% in 1998, due to
     additional fundings by the Partnership.

</TABLE>

Rental income, expenses and net income increased for the first quarter of 1999,
as compared to the same period in 1998, due primarily to lease up efforts and
increased occupancy at this property.  Negotiations are being conducted to lease
the remaining space.

The Partnership's ownership percentage in the Fund VI - Fund VII Joint Venture
increased to 43.7% for 1999,  as compared to 43.0% in 1998, due to additional
funding by the Partnership which increased the Partnership's ownership interest
in the Fund VI - Fund VII Joint Venture.

CAM billings to tenants that were under accrued in 1998.
