                               Part III
                              Narrative

     State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K, 10-KSB,
     11-K, 20-F, 10-Q, 10-QSB, N-SAR or the transition report portion thereof
     could not be filed within the prescribed time period.  (Attach extra
     sheets if needed.)

     The registrant could not file its annual report on Form 10-KSB for the
     year ended December 31, 1999 on the prescribed filing date for the
     following reasons:

            The schedule for the audit of the financial statements was
            delayed by a change of auditors in January 2000.  In addition,
            the Partnership was named as a party to pending litigation in
            March 2000.  Due to uncertainty relating to this litigation, the
            Partnership does not believe it can finalize the disclosure in
            its Form 10-KSB by the prescribed filing date.

                               Part IV

from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by
the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion
thereof?
