PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1. Financial Statements.

Consolidated Balance Sheets - March 31, 2001(unaudited)
and December 31, 2000
Consolidated Statements of Operations - Three Months
Ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 (unaudited)
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows - Three Months
Ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 (unaudited)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

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

(1) Liquidity

As of March 31, 2001, Registrant had cash of
$23,779. 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 loan
modifications 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, 2001, Registrant had restricted cash
of $109,280 consisting primarily of funds held as security
deposits, replacement reserves and escrows for taxes and
insurance. As a consequence of the 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 one property,
due to the inability of the properties owned by the Registrant to
generate sufficient cash flow to pay their operating expenses and
debt service. At the present time Registrant has feasible loan
modifications in place for two of its properties: Lincoln Court
and the Green Street Apartments. However, in all three cases,
the mortgages 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.

It is the Registrant's intention to continue to
hold the properties until they can no longer meet the debt
service requirements 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 (principal plus accrued interest).

Since the lenders have agreed to forebear from
taking any foreclosure action as long as cash flow payments are
made, the Registrant believes it is appropriate to continue
presenting the financial statements on a going concern basis.




(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 is not aware of any
factors which would cause historical capital expenditures levels
not to be indicative of capital requirements in the future and
accordingly does not believe that it will have to commit material
resources to capital investment in the foreseeable future. If
the need for capital expenditures does arise, the first mortgage
holder for Lincoln Court, Green Street and the Loewy Building has
agreed to fund capital expenditures at terms similar to the first
mortgage.

(3) Results of Operations

During the first quarter of 2001, Registrant
incurred a net loss of $299,583 ($21.21 per limited partnership
unit) compared to a net loss of $358,033 ($25.35 per limited
partnership unit) for the same period in 2000.

Rental income increased $13,713 from $240,002 in the
first quarter of 2000 to $253,715 in the same period in 2001. The
increase from the first quarter of 2000 to the same period in
2001 is due to an increase in rental income at Lincoln Court,
Green Street, and the Loewy Building. Rental income increased at
Lincoln Court due to an increase in average occupancy (90% to
92%). Rental income increased at Green Street due to past due
rents from 2000 received during the first quarter of 2001. The
increase in rental income at the Loewy Building is due to penalty
charges collected from a tenant due to a violation of their
lease. The tenant violated their lease by occupying space during
the quarter in which their lease had previously expired in 2000.

Expense for rental operations increased by $20,650
from $158,228 in the first quarter of 2000 to $178,878 in the
same period in 2001. The increase from the first quarter of 2000
to the same period in 2001 is due to an increase in maintenance
expense at Lincoln Court, Green Street, and the Loewy Building.
Maintenance expense increased at Lincoln Court due to an increase
in apartment preparation expense. The increase at Green Street is
due to an increase in trash removal services, and the increase at
the Loewy Building is due to increases in both maintenance and
cleaning service expense at the property.

Interest expense decreased by $8,265 from $273,976
in the first quarter of 2000 to $265,711 in the same period in
2001. The decrease in interest expense is due to a decrease in
interest payments made at Lincoln Court, partially offset by
increases in interest expense at Green Street and the Loewy
Building. The increase in interest expense at Green Street is due
to an increase in interest payments made during the quarter. The
increase in interest expense at the Loewy Building is due to an
increase in the principal balance upon which the interest is
calculated.

Losses incurred at the Registrants properties during
the first quarter of 2001 were approximately $298,000 compared to
losses of $304,000 during the same period in 2000.

In the first quarter of 2001, Registrant incurred a
loss of $92,000 at Lincoln Court including $40,000 of
depreciation and amortization expense, compared to a loss of
$106,000 in the first quarter of 2000, including $40,000 of
depreciation and amortization expense. The decrease in loss from
the first quarter of 2000 to the same period in 2001 is due to an
increase in rental income combined with a decrease in accounting
expense and interest expense. The increase in rental income is
due to an increase in average occupancy (90% to 92%). The
decrease in accounting expense is due to a decrease in accounting
services rendered. The decrease in interest expense is due to a
decrease in interest payments made during the quarter.

In the first quarter of 2001, Registrant incurred a
loss of $47,000 at the Green Street Apartments, including $15,000
of depreciation expense, compared to a loss of $43,000 including
$15,000 of depreciation expense in the first quarter of 2000.
The increase in loss is due to an increase in commission expense
and interest expense, partially offset by an increase in rental
income. The increase in commission expense is due to the increase
in the turnover of apartments. The increase in rental income is
due to past due rents received from 1999.

In the first quarter of 2001, Registrant incurred a
loss of $159,000 at the Loewy Building, including $64,000 of
depreciation and amortization expense, compared to a loss of
$155,000 including $69,000 of depreciation expense in the first
quarter of 2000. The increase in loss from the first quarter of
2000 to the same period in 2001 is due to an increase in
maintenance expense and parking expense, partially offset by an
increase in rental income and a decrease in depreciation expense.
The increase in maintenance expense is due to an increase in
maintenance and cleaning services. The increase in parking
expense is due to an additional parking tenant in the first
quarter of 2001. The increase in rental income at the Loewy
Building is due to penalty charges collected from a tenant due to
a violation of their lease. The tenant violated their lease by
occupying space during the quarter in which their lease had
previously expired in 2000. The decrease in depreciation expense
is due to the impairment loss taken in the fourth quarter of
2000, which decreased the depreciable basis of the building.

Summary of Minority Interests

In the first quarter of 2001, the Registrant
recognized a net income of $14,001 at Magazine Place compared to
a net loss 7,622 in the first quarter of 2000. The Registrant
accounts for this investment on the equity method. The increase
in net income from the first quarter of 2000 to the same period
in 2001 is due to an increase in rental income and a decrease in
rental operating expense.
