PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1. Financial Statements.

Consolidated Balance Sheets - June 30, 2003 (unaudited) and
December 31, 2002
Consolidated Statements of Operations - Three Months and Six
Months Ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 (unaudited)
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows - Six Months Ended June
30, 2003 and 2002 (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 June 30, 2003, Registrant had cash of $312,204.
The Registrant expects that those funds plus the cash generated from
operations at each property will be sufficient to fund the operating
expenses of the properties. The Registrant is not aware of any
additional sources of liquidity.

As of June 30, 2003, Registrant had restricted cash of
$23,970 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.

(2) Capital Resources

Any capital expenditures needed are generally replacement
items and are funded out of cash from operations. The Registrant is
not aware of any factors which would cause historical capital
expenditure 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 for the foreseeable future.

(3) Results of Operations

During the second quarter of 2003, Registrant incurred a
loss of $20,446 ($2.44 per limited partnership unit) compared to a
loss of $34,032 ($4.07 per limited partnership unit) for the same
period in 2002. For the first six months of 2003, the Registrant
incurred a loss of $78,990 ($9.44 per limited partnership unit)
compared to a loss of $69,707 ($8.33 per limited partnership unit) for
the same period in 2002.

Rental income decreased $2,345 from $53,118 in the
second quarter of 2002 to $ 50,773 in the same period in 2003 and
increased $338 from $103,167 for the first six months of 2002 to
$103,505 in the same period in 2003. The decrease in rental income
from the second quarter of 2002, compared to the same period in 2003,
is due to a decrease in average rental rates at Locke Mill, partially
offset by an increase in average occupancy at the Brass Works (97% to
99%). The increase from the first six months of 2002 to the same
period in 2003 is due to an increase in average occupancy at the Brass
Works (92% to 95%), partially offset by a decrease in average
occupancy at Locke Mill (93% to 78%).

Interest income decreased $623 from $1,464 in the second
quarter of 2002 to $841 in the same period of 2003. Interest income
decreased $1,133 from $2,921 for the first six months of 2002 to
$1,788 in the same period of 2003. The decrease in interest income for
both the second quarter and the first six months of 2002, compared to
the same periods in 2003, is due to a decrease in money market
interest rates.

Rental operations expense decreased $13,747 from $49,876
in the second quarter of 2002 to $36,129 in the same period in 2003.
The decrease in rental operating expense from the second quarter of
2002, compared to the same period in 2003, is due to a decrease in
wages and salaries expense at Locke Mill, partially offset by an
increase in miscellaneous operating expense at both the Brass Works
and Locke Mill. The decrease in wages and salaries is due to a
decrease in maintenance salaries. The increase in miscellaneous
operating expense at Locke Mill is due to an increase in furniture
rental and office expense. The increase in miscellaneous operating
expense at the Brass Works is due to an increase in Visa/MC/MAC
charges.

Rental operations expense increased $10,455 from $95,921
for the first six months of 2002 to $106,376 in the same period of
2003. The increase from the first six months of 2002, compared to the
same period in 2003, is due to an increase in maintenance expense and
miscellaneous operating expense at the Brass Works and increase in
utilities expense at both the Brass Works and Locke Mill. The
increase in maintenance expense is due to an increase in apartment
preparation expense. The increase in miscellaneous operating expense
is due to an increase in Visa/MC/MAC charges and collection fees. The
increase in utilities expense at the Brass Works is due to an increase
in electricity, water and sewer charges. The increase in utilities
expense at Locke Mill is due to an increase in electricity charges.

Losses incurred during the quarter at the Registrant's
two properties were approximately $5,000 in 2003 compared to income of
$4,000 for the same period in 2002. For the first six months of 2003,
the Registrant's two properties incurred a loss of $28,000 compared to
a loss of $12,000 for the same period in 2002.

In the second quarter of 2003, the Registrant recognized
net income of $8,000 at the Brass Works, including $13,000 of
depreciation expense, compared to net income of $6,000 including
$13,000 of depreciation expense in the second quarter of 2002. The
increase in net income from the second quarter of 2002, compared to
the same period in 2003, is due to an increase in rental income,
partially offset by an increase in miscellaneous operating expense.
The increase in rental income is due to an increase in average
occupancy (97% to 99%). The increase in miscellaneous operating
expense is due to an increase in Visa/MC/MAC charges.

For the first six months of 2003, Registrant incurred a
net loss of $11,000 at the Brass Works, including $26,000 of
depreciation expense, compared to a net loss of $5,000 for the same
period in 2002, including $25,000 of depreciation expense. The
increase in net loss from the first six months of 2002, compared to
the same period in 2003, is due to an increase in maintenance expense,
miscellaneous operating expense and utilities expense. The increase
in maintenance expense is due to an increase in apartment preparation
expense. The increase in miscellaneous operating expense is due to an
increase in Visa/MC/MAC charges and collection fees. The increase in
utilities expense is due to an increase in electricity, water and
sewer charges.

In the second quarter of 2003, the Registrant incurred a
net loss of $13,000 at Locke Mill Plaza, including $7,000 of
depreciation expense, compared to a net loss of $2,000 including
$7,000 of depreciation expense in the second quarter of 2002. The
increase in net loss from the second quarter of 2002, compared to the
same period in 2003, is due to a decrease in rental income and an
increase in miscellaneous operating expense, partially offset by a
decrease in wages and salaries. The decrease in rental income is due
to a decrease in average rental rates. The increase in miscellaneous
operating expense is due to an increase in furniture rental expense
and office expense. The decrease in wages and salaries is due to a
decrease in maintenance salaries.

For the first six months, the Registrant incurred a net
loss of $16,000 at Locke Mill Plaza, including $14,000 of depreciation
expense, compared to a net loss of $7,000, including $14,000 of
depreciation expense for the same period in 2002. The increase in net
loss from the first six moths of 2002, compared to the same period in
2003, is due to a decrease in rental income and an increase in
utilities expense. The decrease in rental income is due to a decrease
in average occupancy (93% to 78%). The increase in utilities expense
is due to an increase in electricity charges.


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.
