Partnership, maintains a system of controls and procedures designed to provide
reasonable assurance as to the reliability of the financial statements and other
disclosures included in this report, as well as to safeguard assets from
unauthorized use or disposition. Within 90 days prior to the filing of this
report, MDC's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated
the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures with the assistance and participation of other members of management.

gathering, analyzing and disclosing the information the Partnership is required
to disclose in the reports it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

no significant changes in MDC's internal controls or in other factors which
