31, 2002
Consolidated Statements of Operations - Three Months Ended March 31,

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations

(1) Liquidity

At March 31, 2003, Registrant had cash of approximately
$11,896. Cash generated from operations is used primarily to fund
operating expenses and debt service. If cash flow proves to be
insufficient, the Registrant will attempt to negotiate with the
various lenders in order to remain current on all obligations. The
Registrant is not aware of any additional sources of liquidity.

As of March 31, 2003, Registrant had restricted cash of
$65,866 consisting primarily of funds held as security deposits,
replacement reserves and escrows for taxes. As a consequence of these
restrictions as to use, Registrant does not deem these funds to be a
source of liquidity.

In recent years, the Registrant has realized significant
losses, including the foreclosure of five properties and a portion of
a sixth property, due to the properties' inability to generate
sufficient cash flow to pay their operating expenses and debt service.
The Registrant has first mortgages in place in each of its remaining
three properties that are cash-flow mortgages, requiring all available
cash after payment of operating expenses to be paid to the first
mortgage holder. Therefore, it is unlikely that any cash will be
available to the Registrant to pay its general and administrative
expenses and debt service to pay debt service on the past-due
subordinate mortgage with respect to the Third Quarter or to pay any
debt service on the two accrual mortgages with respect to Wistar
Alley.

It is the Registrant's intention to continue to hold the
properties until they can no longer meet the debt service requirements
(or with respect to the Third Quarter and Wistar Alley, the lender
seeks payment on the past due mortgage) and the properties are
foreclosed, or the market value of the properties increases to a point
where they can be sold at a price which is sufficient to repay the
underlying indebtedness.

Since the lenders have agreed either to forebear from
taking any foreclosure action as long as cash flow payments are made,
to accrue all debt service in lieu of payment, or have (in the case of
Third Quarter) not moved to declare a default for a substantial period
of time after the mortgage due date, the Registrant believes it is
appropriate to continue presenting its financial statements on a going
concern basis.

On October 2, 2003, the three remaining Smythe Stores
condominium units owned by the Registrant were foreclosed by the
mortgage holder.


(2) Capital Resources

Any capital expenditures needed are generally replacement
items and are funded out of cash from operations or replacement
reserves, if any. The Registrant believes that historical capital
expenditure levels are indicative of capital requirements in the
future and accordingly, does not believe that it will have to commit
material resources to capital investment for the foreseeable future.
If the need for capital expenditures does arise, the first mortgage
holder for Third Quarter and Wistar Alley has agreed to fund capital
expenditures at terms similar to the first mortgage.


(3) Results of Operations

During the first quarter of 2003, Registrant incurred a
net loss of $163,488 ($13.94 per limited partnership unit) compared to
a net loss of $140,681 ($12.00 per limited partnership unit) for the
same period in 2002.

Rental income increased $4,350 from $139,812 in the first
quarter of 2002 to $144,162 in the same period in 2003. The increase
in rental income occurred at the Third Quarter Apartments and the
Smythe Stores, partially offset by a decrease in rental income at
Wistar Alley. The increase in rental income at the Third Quarter
Apartments is due to an increase in average occupancy (93% to 97%).
The increase in rental income at the Smythe Stores is due to an
increase in average rental rates. The decrease in rental income at
Wistar Alley is due to a decrease in average occupancy (98% to 97%).

Rental operations expense increased $26,569 from $98,503
in the first quarter of 2002 to $125,072 in the same period in 2003.
Rental operations expense increased due to an increase in maintenance
expense, real estate tax expense and leasing commissions. The increase
in maintenance expense occurred at Wistar Alley and the Third Quarter.
The increase in maintenance expense at Wistar Alley is due to an
increase in snow removal, non-contracted cleaning service, and roof
repairs. The increase in maintenance expense at the Third Quarter is
due to an increase in snow removal and maintenance service. The
increase in real estate tax expense occurred at the Smythe Stores and
is due to an increase in the property's assessed value. The increase
in leasing commissions is due to an increase in the turnover of
apartment units at the Third Quarter Apartments.

Interest expense decreased $121 from $133,605 in the
first quarter of 2002 to $133,484 in the same period in 2003.

Losses incurred during the first quarter at the
Registrant's three properties were approximately $141,000 compared to
a loss of approximately $132,000 for the same period in 2002.

In the first quarter of 2003, Registrant incurred a loss
of $52,000 at the the Smythe Stores Condominium complex including
$6,000 of depreciation expense, compared to a loss of $51,000 in the
first quarter of 2002, including $7,000 of depreciation expense. The
increase in loss is due to an increase in real estate tax expense,
partially offset by an increase in rental income. The increase in real
estate tax expense is due to an increase in the property's assessed
value. The increase in rental income is due to an increase in average
rental rates.

On October 2, 2003, the three Smythe Stores condominium
units were foreclosed by the mortgage holder.

In the first quarter of 2003, Registrant incurred a loss
of $47,000 at the Third Quarter Apartments, including $20,000 of
depreciation expense, compared to a loss of $47,000 including $19,000
of depreciation expense in the first quarter of 2002. In the first
quarter of 2003, maintenance expense and leasing commissions
increased, partially offset by an increase in rental income. The
increase in maintenance is due to an increase in snow removal and
maintenance service. The increase in the leasing commissions is due to
an increase in the turnover of apartment units. The increase in
rental income is due to an increase in average occupancy (93% to 97%).

In the first quarter of 2003, Registrant incurred a loss
of $42,000 at Wistar Alley, including $23,000 of depreciation expense,
compared to a loss of $34,000 including $23,000 of depreciation
expense in the first quarter of 2002. The increase in loss is due to
a decrease in rental income and an increase in maintenance expense.
The decrease in rental income is due to a decrease in average
occupancy (98% to 97%). The increase in maintenance expense is due to
an increase in snow removal, non contract cleaning service and roof
repairs.



Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 reports is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's
rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our managing partner's
principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as
appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures,
our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter
how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance
of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management
necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-
benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Under the supervision of our managing partner's principal
executive officer and principal financial officer we have carried out
an evaluation of the effectiveness of our adopted disclosure controls
and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Based upon that evaluation, our managing partner's president and
treasurer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are
effective.

There have been no significant changes in our internal
controls over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter.
