                       AND CONSOLIDATED VENTURES

              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                        JUNE 30, 1998 AND 1997

                              (UNAUDITED)

GENERAL

     Readers of this quarterly report should refer to the Partnership's
audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1997, which
are included in the Partnership's 1997 Annual Report, as certain footnote
disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in such
audited financial statements have been omitted from this report.

     The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP
requires the Partnership to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported or disclosed amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

     The Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 121 ("SFAS 121") "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" as required in the first
quarter of 1996.  The Partnership's policy is to consider a property to be
held for sale or disposition when the Partnership has committed to a plan
to sell or dispose of such property and active marketing activity has
commenced or is expected to commence in the near term or the Partnership
has concluded that it may dispose of the property by no longer funding
operating deficits or debt service requirements of the property thus
allowing the lender to realize upon its security.  In accordance with SFAS
121, any properties identified as "held for sale or disposition" are no
longer depreciated.  As of June 30, 1998, the Partnership and its
consolidated ventures have or have previously committed to plans to sell or
dispose of all their remaining investment properties.  Accordingly, all
consolidated properties have been classified as held for sale or
disposition in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of the
respective date of such plan's adoption.  The results of operations, net of
venture partner's share, for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997
for these properties and for properties sold or disposed of in the past two
years were $78,727 and ($14,486,767), respectively.  In addition, the
accompanying consolidated financial statements include $38,206 and
$296,435, respectively, of the Partnership's share of total property
operations of $278,359 and $2,159,730 for its unconsolidated property for
the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, which was sold
in December 1997.

     Certain amounts in the 1997 Consolidated Financial Statements have
been reclassified in order to conform with the 1998 presentation.

TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

     The Partnership, pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, is permitted
to engage in various transactions involving the Corporate General Partner
and its affiliates including the reimbursement for salaries and salary-
related expenses of its employees, certain of its officers, and other
direct expenses relating to the administration of the Partnership and the
operation of the Partnership's investments.  Fees, commissions and other
expenses required to be paid by the Partnership to the General Partners and
their affiliates as of June 30, 1998 and for the six months ended June 30,
1998 and 1997 were as follows:

                                 ========    =======        ======   

     The Corporate General Partner had deferred payment of partnership
management fees of $11,936.  In addition, distributions to the General
Partners of the first quarter 1991 net cash flow of the Partnership
aggregating $7,161 had been deferred.  The General Partners and their
affiliates had also deferred payment of the Partnership's share of property
management and leasing fees of approximately $171,000 for the Partnership's
unconsolidated venture.  These amounts, which did not bear interest, were
paid during the quarter ended March 31, 1998.

RIVERFRONT OFFICE BUILDING

     The Cambridge, Massachusetts market, in which the property operates,
has been improving and as a result, the Partnership has recently been
successful in attracting new tenants to the property.  At June 30, 1998,
the property is 100% occupied.  However, if future operating shortfalls are
greater than expected and funding of deficits becomes necessary, the
Partnership would make a decision whether or not to commit additional funds
to this investment property based on, among other things, the likelihood of
the return of such additional investment plus a reasonable profit thereon. 
The amount of liquidity this investment property can provide to the
Partnership is dependent on the property's value and the satisfaction of
certain preference levels to the unaffiliated venture partner pursuant to
the joint venture agreement.

     The restructured loan secured by the building and improvements
provides for participating interest whereby the lender is entitled to earn
a minimum internal rate of return ranging from 9% to 10.5% per annum
calculated over the restructured loan term and a Residual Amount (as
defined) of approximately 50% of the proceeds from a sale of the property
in excess of such minimum internal rate of return.  During the quarter, the
Partnership has continued its discussions with the lender concerning, in
essence, a possible reduction of the lender's residual amount, but there is
no assurance that any such reduction will be obtained.

     The restructured loan requires that net cash flow after debt service
and capital be paid into an escrow account controlled by the lender to be
used for future operating shortfalls, principal payments and costs
associated with additional leasing as approved by the lender.  In this
regard, in July 1997, $451,409 of escrowed funds was applied by the lender
against the outstanding mortgage loan balance and, in October 1997,
$615,271 of escrowed funds was released by the lender to cover leasing
costs and other capital projects at the property.  The agreement further
prohibits the venture owning the property from distributing excess cash
flow after full funding of the escrow accounts.  Such excess funds are to
be retained and utilized for operating shortfalls, principal payments and
costs associated with additional leasing as approved by the lender prior to
withdrawing escrow deposits.


<PAGE>


     In addition, as a condition of the loan restructure discussed above,
the ground lease was amended and provides for the deferral of any and all
ground lease payments from February 1993 until the earlier of any future
mortgage loan prepayment date (resulting from a sale or refinancing of the
property) or December 31, 2007.  However, if the property produces certain
levels of gross receipts (as defined by the restructured loan) for the
years 1998 through 2003, the restructured loan allows for partial payments
of ground rent to be reinstated beginning in 1998.  Based on current
projections, the venture does not expect ground rent payments to resume in
1998.  The ground lessor is a general partner of the venture partner.  At
June 30, 1998, the total amount of deferred and accrued ground lease
expense is approximately $928,700.

     The joint venture is currently preparing to market the property for
sale.  There can be no assurance that a sale will be finalized.

MALL OF MEMPHIS

     Occupancy at the property is 74% at June 30, 1998.  The mall has
experienced a number of store closings, many prior to lease expiration,
primarily as a result of tenants filing for bankruptcy and liquidating.  In
addition, the property has been subjected to increased competition for
shoppers and tenants from strip centers and large discount stores in its
market area.  Although certain tenants continue to perform well, overall
tenant sales at the property have continued to decline.  Due to poor sales
performances, many tenants are electing not to renew their leases or are
renewing at lower rates.  Several other tenants whose leases are not due to
expire in the near term have approached the Partnership seeking rent
relief.  The Partnership has granted rent relief to certain tenants that
could demonstrate that without a reduction in their rent, they would no
longer be able to remain in business at the mall.  As a result of these
market and property conditions, the property's cash flow has been
decreasing and is expected to decline further in the future.

     The Partnership initiated discussions with the underlying lender
regarding a loan modification and, in connection with these discussions,
advanced approximately $604,000 to cover the property's required debt
service payments through December 31, 1997.  However, the lender was
unwilling to grant an acceptable loan modification to cover future
operating deficits.  The Partnership has therefore decided not to commit
any additional amounts to the property and, effective January 1, 1998,
suspended the payment of required debt service on its first, second and
third mortgage notes secured by the property.  At June 30, 1998, these
notes had an aggregate principal balance of $39,676,002 and accrued but
unpaid interest of approximately $2,392,000.  As a result, the Partnership
is in default and these mortgage notes have been classified as current in
the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  The lender agreed to
allow the Partnership to recoup its 1997 advance from 1998 operating cash
flow before proceeding to realize on its security in the property.  As of
the date of this report, the Partnership has recouped its 1997 advance and
has remitted $1,072,378 to the lender representing property cash flow for
the six months ended June 30, 1998.  Such cash flow payment was net of
repayment of the Partnership's 1997 advance and estimated future property
operating deficits related to real estate tax obligations.  Accordingly, as
of June 30, 1998, the Partnership has classified all property cash as
restricted.  The Partnership expects the lender to proceed to realize on
its security during the third or fourth quarter of 1998.  This will result
in the Partnership no longer having an ownership interest in the property
and will result in a gain for financial reporting and Federal income tax
purposes with no corresponding distributable proceeds in 1998.

     Pursuant to the terms of a note payable by the Partnership to the
former venture partner, the Partnership guaranteed a portion of the debt
service payment payable on June 1, 1997 in the amount of $300,000 on a
recourse basis.  As of the date of this report, the Partnership has not
made the debt service payment, including such guaranteed amount.  As a
result, the Partnership is in default and the $5,000,000 note payable has
been classified as current in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.  Due to provisions of the associated underlying agreements, the


<PAGE>


former venture partner may generally only realize upon its security (its
former partnership interest in the joint venture) in the event of default
by the Partnership.  However, concerning such June 1997 payment, it is
possible that the former venture partner may attempt to exercise its
remedies against the Partnership's other assets respecting the guaranteed
amount.

     The current and anticipated market conditions outlined above caused
uncertainty regarding the Partnership's ability to recover the net carrying
value of the Mall of Memphis investment property through future operations
and sale.  Therefore, as of June 30, 1997, the Partnership recorded, as a
matter of prudent accounting practice, a provision for value impairment of
such investment of $13,143,000.  Such provision was recorded to reflect the
then estimated fair value of the property, less costs to sell.

NATIONAL CITY CENTER

     On December 18, 1997, the venture sold the National City Center Office
Building.  As the Partnership had committed to a plan to sell the property,
the property was classified as held for sale or disposition as of
December 31, 1996 and therefore was no longer subject to continued
depreciation.  The sale price of the land and improvements was $82,150,000.

Cash proceeds, after selling costs and the $54,277,977 mortgage assumed by
the purchaser, were $26,371,722 of which the Partnership's share was
$3,619,652.  As a result of the sale, the Partnership recognized a gain of
$2,960,265 for financial reporting purposes and a gain of $7,764,780 for
Federal income tax purposes in 1997.  In connection with the sale of this
property and as is customary in such transactions, the venture agreed to
certain representations, warranties and covenants with a stipulated
survival period which expires December 17, 1998.  Although it is not
expected, the venture and the Partnership may ultimately have some
liability under such representations, warranties and covenants which are
limited to actual damages and shall in no event exceed $2,000,000 in
aggregate of which the Partnership's share is approximately $275,000.

YERBA BUENA OFFICE BUILDING

     In June 1992, title to the Yerba Buena Office Building in San
Francisco, California was transferred to the lender by the joint venture (a
partnership comprised of the Partnership, two other limited partnerships
sponsored by the Partnership's Corporate General Partner and four
unaffiliated limited partners).  In return for a smooth transition of title
and management of the property, the joint venture negotiated the right to
share in future sales proceeds, if any, above certain specified levels.  In
addition, the joint venture had a right of first opportunity to purchase
the property during the time frame of June 1995 through May 1998 should the
lender wish to market the property for sale.  The lender sold the property
to an unaffiliated third party during 1996.  The sale price did not
generate a level of distributable proceeds where the joint venture would
have been entitled to a share.  However, the joint venture was not given an
opportunity to purchase the property on the same terms it was sold for. 
The joint venture filed a suit against the lender for breach of its
obligations.  In June 1998, the court granted the lender's motion for
summary judgment and dismissed the lawsuit.  The joint venture currently
intends to appeal the court's order dismissing the lawsuit.  There is no
assurance that such an appeal will be successful or that the joint venture
will recover any amounts in connection with the lawsuit.

ADJUSTMENTS

     In the opinion of the Corporate General Partner, all adjustments
(consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair
presentation have been made to the accompanying figures as of June 30, 1998
and for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.

PART I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

     Reference is made to the notes to the accompanying financial
statements for additional information concerning certain of the
Partnership's investments.

     The board of directors of JMB Realty Corporation ("JMB") the corporate
general partner of the Partnership, has established a special committee
(the "Special Committee") consisting of certain directors of JMB to deal
with all matters relating to tender offers for Interests in the
Partnership, including any and all responses to such tender offers.  The
Special Committee has retained independent counsel to advise it in
connection with any potential tender offers for Interests and has retained
Lehman Brothers Inc. as financial advisor to assist the Special Committee
in evaluating and responding to any additional potential tender offers for
Interests.

     During 1997, some of the Holders of Interests in the Partnership
received from an unaffiliated third party unsolicited tender offers, each
to purchase up to 4.5% of the Interests in the Partnership at between $50
and $75 per Interest.  The Partnership recommended against acceptance of
these offers on the basis that, among other things, the offer prices were
inadequate.  All of such offers have expired.

     The Partnership is also aware that, in January 1998, an unaffiliated
third party made an unsolicited tender offer to some of the Holders of
Interests.  This offer sought to purchase up to 4.5% of the Interests in
the Partnership at $110 per Interest.  This offer expired in February 1998.

The Special Committee recommended against acceptance of the offer on the
basis that, among other things, the offer price was inadequate.

     As of the date of this report, the Partnership is aware that 2.49% of
the Interests have been purchased by all such unaffiliated third parties
either pursuant to such tender offers or through negotiated purchases.  It
is possible that other offers for Interests may be made by unaffiliated
third parties in the future, although there is no assurance that any other
third party will commence an offer for Interests, the terms of any such
offer or whether any such offer, if made, will be consummated, amended or
withdrawn.

     At June 30, 1998, the Partnership had cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $3,406,000.  Such funds are available for working capital
requirements.  Based upon current market conditions, the Partnership has
decided not to commit any additional amounts to the Mall of Memphis which
is incurring operating deficits.  This will result in the Partnership no
longer having an ownership interest in such property.  Such decision will
result in a gain to the Partnership for financial reporting and Federal
income tax purposes, with no corresponding distributable proceeds, in 1998.

     Although the Partnership is hopeful it will be able to distribute sale
proceeds from the disposition of the Riverfront Office Building, the
Limited Partners are expected to receive less than their full original
investment from all sources.  After reviewing the remaining properties and
the marketplace in which they operate, the General Partners of the
Partnership expect to be able to conduct an orderly liquidation of the
remaining investment portfolio as quickly as practicable.  If during 1998
the Partnership is successful in selling the Riverfront Office Building and
the underlying lender realizes upon its security in the Mall of Memphis and
all legal actions against the lender of the Yerba Buena Office Building are
resolved, the Partnership intends to wind up its affairs and liquidate by
year end 1998.  As there can be no assurance that all of these events will
occur in 1998, the affairs of the Partnership would be wound up no later
than December 31, 1999, barring unforeseen economic developments.



<PAGE>


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The decrease in cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 1998 as compared
to December 31, 1997 is primarily due to the Partnership's February 1998
distribution of $14,429,100 ($105 per Interest) to the Holders of Interests
of proceeds from the 1997 sales of the National City Center Office Building
and the Partnership's interest in the 767 Third Avenue Office Building,
partially offset by the Partnership's receipt in February 1998 of
approximate $3,980,000 in proceeds from the 1997 sale of the National City
Center Office Building.

     The decrease in rents and other receivables at June 30, 1998 as
compared to December 31, 1997 is primarily due to the timing of receipts of
rental income at Mall of Memphis.

     The increase in escrow deposits and restricted funds at June 30, 1998
as compared to December 31, 1997 is primarily due to (i) the Partnership's
classification in 1998 of all property cash at the Mall of Memphis as
restricted and (ii) the timing of payment of real estate taxes at the
Riverfront Office Building and deposits of 1998 net cash flow generated by
the Riverfront Office Building into escrow as required by the underlying
lender, partially offset by the May 1998 withdrawal by the Partnership of
interest earned to date on a $1,000,000 escrow account that was established
in March 1993 as security for any undiscovered environmental issues as
required by the lender for the Mall of Memphis.

     The decrease in prepaid expenses at June 30, 1998 as compared to
December 31, 1997 is primarily due to the timing of payment of property
insurance premiums at the Mall of Memphis.

     The increases in properties held for sale or disposition and deferred
expenses at June 30, 1998 as compared to December 31, 1997 is primarily due
to tenant improvements and commissions paid related to leasing activity at
the Riverfront Office Building during 1998.

     The increase in venture partner's deficit in venture at June 30, 1998
as compared to December 31, 1997 is due to the allocation of 1998 operating
losses to the Partnership's venture partner in the Riverfront Office
Building.

     The decrease in investment in unconsolidated venture, at equity, at
June 30, 1998 as compared to December 31, 1997 is due to the receipt in
February 1998 of approximately $3,980,000 in proceeds from the 1997 sale of
the National City Center Office Building.

     The decrease in unearned rents at June 30, 1998 as compared to
December 31, 1997 is primarily due to the timing of receipts of rental
income at the Mall of Memphis.

     The increase in accrued interest at June 30, 1998 as compared to
December 31, 1997 is primarily due to the Partnership's suspension of
payment of debt service on the first, second and third mortgage notes
secured by the Mall of Memphis effective January 1, 1998 (as discussed in
the Notes).

     The increase in long-term debt, less current portion at June 30, 1998
as compared to December 31, 1997 is due to the recording of interest
accruals pursuant to the terms of the restructured mortgage loan secured by
the Riverfront Office Building.

     The decreases in rental income, mortgage and other interest, property
operating expenses, and amortization of deferred expenses for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the three and six months
ended June 30, 1997 is primarily due to the sale of the Partnership's
interest in the 767 Third Avenue Office Building on October 31, 1997.



<PAGE>


     The decrease in interest income for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1998 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 1997
is primarily due to interest received in June 1997 as part of a settlement
of past due rental obligations with a former tenant at the 767 Third Avenue
Office Building, partially offset by the temporary investment of the
approximately $11,000,000 in proceeds from the 1997 sale of the
Partnership's interest in the 767 Third Avenue Office Building until the
February 28, 1998 distribution of such proceeds to the Holders of
Interests.

     The decrease in depreciation expense for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30,
1997 is due to the Mall of Memphis being classified as of July 1, 1997 as
held for sale or disposition and is therefore no longer subject to
continued depreciation as of the date of such classification.

     The increase in professional services for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1998 as compared to June 30, 1997 is primarily due to fees
incurred in the suit against the lender of the Yerba Buena Office Building
for breach of its obligations, as more fully discussed above, as well as
legal costs associated with collection of amounts due from certain tenants
at the 767 Third Avenue Office Building.

     The $13,143,000 provision for value impairment for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1997 is due to the Partnership's recording, as of
June 1997, a provision for value impairment of the Mall of Memphis
investment property.

     The decrease in Partnership's share of operations of unconsolidated
venture for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to
June 30, 1997 is due to the sale of the National City Center Office
Building in December 1997.  The Partnership's share of operations of
unconsolidated venture for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 is
primarily the Partnership's share of interest income earned by the venture
on the sale proceeds prior to the venture's distribution to the Partnership
of its share of such proceeds in February 1998.

     The decrease in venture partner's share of ventures' operations for
the six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the six months ended
June 30, 1997 is primarily due to a decrease in operating losses at the
Riverfront Office Building in 1998 due to an increase in property occupancy
and rental income, partially offset by a decrease in operating income at
the 767 Third Avenue office building due to the receipt of interest income
in June 1997 as part of a settlement of past due rental obligations with a
former tenant.  The increase in venture partner's share of ventures'
operations for the three months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the
three months ended June 30, 1997 is due to a decrease in operating income
at the 767 Third Avenue Office Building due to the receipt of interest
income in June 1997, as discussed above.
