LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

While it is the General Partners primary intention to
operate and manage the existing real estate investments, the
General Partner also continually evaluates this investment in
light of current economic conditions and trends to determine if
this asset should be considered for disposal. At this time, there
is no plan to dispose of either property.

As of March 31, 2004, the Partnership had $413,219 in cash
and cash equivalents as compared to $435,304 as of December 31,
2003. The net increase in cash of $22,085 is principally due to
cash flow from operations.

On September 30, 2002 the partnership distributed $25.00 per
limited partnership unit to units of record September 30, 2002.
This distribution was made from excess cash on hand from cash
flow from operations.

Each asset of the fund refinanced its debt during July 1997.
The fund retired debt with a face value of $6,500,000 and
replaced with debt of $10,800,000. The new mortgages in the
amounts of $4,000,000, $6,800,000 carry interest rates of 7.8%
and 7.92% respectively. The notes come due August, 2007. The
Partnerships required principal payments due under the stated
terms of the Partnerships mortgage notes payable are $152,028,
$164,442 and $177,870 for each of the next three years.

For the foreseeable future, the Partnership anticipates that
mortgage principal payments (excluding any balloon mortgage
payments), improvements and capital expenditures will be funded
by net cash from operations. The primary source of capital to
fund future Partnership acquisitions and balloon mortgage
payments will be proceeds from the sale, financing or
refinancing of the Properties.
